Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Outside the gate of Kaifeng City, internal forces surged in four directions.

Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Zhao Pu, and Lin Yehuo, the four subdued the four masters with an overwhelming advantage.

Jin Toutuo, who was fighting against Zhao Pu, was extremely powerful, but he was nearly flattened by Zhao Pu's saber, and finally fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Hong Toutuo, who was fighting Lin Yehuo, had hidden weapons all over his body, but Lin Yehuo's Zen-like inner strength was invulnerable at all. In the end, Hong Toutuo reaped the fruit of his own, was injured by his hidden weapon, and fell to the ground after being poisoned.

Bai Toutuo foolishly chose to compete with Bai Yutang's internal energy, but Bai Yutang's pure ice internal energy froze him into a popsicle, even freezing his beard.

And Heitutuo, who had offended all the elders in the Demon Palace with his words, was beaten up by Zhan Zhao. When the Imperial City Army tied him up, he was thinking—who is the fat man?It's so swollen!

So ever.

Leftists were wiped out.

The imperial city army and government servants took all the Zuotou faction into the sky prison. After the war, Kaifeng returned to calm.

Zhan Zhao and the others put away their weapons and walked on the quiet streets of Kaifeng. Although everything that should be done has been done, the case has not yet been closed. Nightmare tail, which neither Ci nor Lu Xueer had caught, hadn't shown up until now.

Lin Miao, who troubled Wu Yifu, didn't show up either, and everything after that had to be elicited through the sick scholar.

The short end will make people feel inexplicably anxious and tired. Probably the most tiring thing is not physical fatigue, but a mental burden.Nothing hurts more than worrying about someone you really care about and waiting for something to happen.

But... at least tonight seems to be over.

After everyone returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Bao said "hard work" one by one, and ordered everyone to go to rest quickly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to Miaomiao Tower.

Gongsun hugged the sleeping fourth son and went back to the house with Zhao Pu.

Lin Yehuo yawned and went straight to his room to catch up on sleep. Zou Liang followed beside him, patting the head of the big wolf dog that greeted them wagging its tail.

Tianzun, Yinhou and Master Wusha all went to rest with satisfied smiles.

The yamen servants and imperial city soldiers who had been busy all night also rested.

Even the prisoners who were caught gave up their resistance and began to think about the evil they had done and the punishment they were about to face.

Night, entered the quietest moment.

Just when everyone was falling asleep... In Kaifeng mansion, a door in a small courtyard opened silently.

From that door, Wu Yifu came out.

The thin figure of the sick scholar looked a little thin in this cold night.Holding a gray cloak in his hand, he left Kaifeng Mansion and walked to the dark Nantian Street.

The sick scholar put the cloak on his body, pulled up the cap of the cloak and put it on, and walked into the night of Kaifeng and the darkness at the end of Tianjie.

Until Wu Yifu's back disappeared into the night, another person came out of the Kaifeng mansion.

General You walked out of the gate, stood on Tianjie, and looked into the distance.

Originally, Long Qiaoguang should have gone to bed, but he thought that Wu Yifu would have to take medicine tomorrow morning. Hong Jiuniang had sorted out the medicinal materials before, but Jiuniang didn't know if she would be able to come back tomorrow morning.So, General You ran to the kitchen to take a look, sorted out the medicinal materials to be used tomorrow morning, and ran back to his yard, only to find that there was no breath in Wu Yifu's room.

He stood at the door, thought for a while, and then ran out of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and then saw the back of that person who was gradually going away.

Master Guang looked up at the bright moon in the middle of the sky, turned around, and ran after that figure.

All of a sudden, the quiet Kaifeng mansion was restored.

Yin Hou turned over.

Tianzun asked, "Aren't you curious?"

Yin Hou closed his eyes and said, "Not curious."

Tianzun sighed and turned over, "What do you think he is doing?"

Yin Hou had no choice but to say, "Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep."

Tianzun lay with his arms around the pillow, looking at the night sky outside the window.

……

Long Qiaoguang followed Wu Yifu from a distance, always keeping a long, long distance.

Seen from the back, Wu Yifu seemed to be shopping, walking unhurriedly on the streets of Kaifeng, occasionally stopping to look at a certain building, and then continuing to walk.

He just walked straight until he reached the gate of the North City Gate.

The gate of the city is open, and the North City leads to the pier. Although it is early in the morning, many merchants who deliver goods have already begun to enter and leave the city.Buyers and sellers wore winter clothes to keep out the cold, pushed carts and carts, and ran from dawn to dusk for their livelihood.

Wu Yifu left the city without disturbing any guards, walked on the official road, and continued to move forward.

Long Qiaoguang followed, he began to wonder - where is his master going?This road is very long, and further on, there are only farmland and mountains on both sides...

Finally, Wu Yifu came to a small hillside, stopped, and looked up at a small temple on the hillside.

This small temple has no name, but there are still people in the temple. It is dedicated to Guanyin. Old people from nearby villages will come here to worship the god. If passers-by ask for help, they can also knock on the temple door on the mountain.

Wu Yifu raised his face, looked at the small temple for a while, and then walked up the hill.

Long Qiaoguang frowned slightly, and tilted his head - what are you doing up the mountain?

The sick scholar walked up the hill, and instead of knocking on the temple door, he walked around the small temple and walked towards the back hill.

Long Qiaoguang went up to the top of a small pagoda in the small temple, and saw Wu Yifu walked to the side of the hill behind the small temple, sat down on a stone, and looked into the distance.

At this time, Long Qiaoguang also stood on the top of the tower and looked into the distance... Under the hillside, there were large tracts of fertile fields and fish ponds.

General You is often in Mobei, and he often does things like climbing high and looking far away, but most of what he sees is the lonely smoke in the desert and the vast expanse of Saibei.Although he was fooling around, he was in a high position after all, he had been to all kinds of buildings, and the busiest cities were the most common sights under the tall buildings.However, this is the first time I have seen farmland and fish ponds under the moonlight like this.

Abundance, tranquility, and this prospect seem to make people realize how beautiful a day without war is more than a bustling night market.

Long Qiaoguang looked at Wu Yifu in a blink of an eye.

The sick scholar sat on a rock by the side of the mountain, just watching silently.

At this time...

There was a "creak" sound, and a temple door was opened.

A young monk ran out tremblingly with a bucket, probably to fetch water from the well in the back mountain to prepare breakfast for the temple.

The little monk raised his head and was startled when he saw Wu Yifu on the side of the mountain.

"Benefactor." The little monk held the wooden barrel and looked at Wu Yifu, "Are you on your way? Do you want to go to the temple to rest?"

Wu Yifu turned around.

The little monk was a little scared at first, but when he saw Wu Yifu's face under the cloak, he relaxed a little. It looked like he was just a scholar, not some vicious gangster.

But then, the little monk seemed worried again, put down the barrel, ran over and asked, "Oh, don't you think about it, donator?"

Wu Yifu smiled slightly, turned his head to look into the distance, and asked, "Where's Minghui?"

The little monk blinked, "The abbot passed away three years ago, do you know our abbot?"

Wu Yifu was in a daze for a long time, and said, "He passed away..."

The little monk looked at Wu Yifu curiously, "The benefactor, is he a friend of our abbot?"

Wu Yifu said, "Many years ago, when I was standing here, there was also a young monk who said to me with a wooden bucket, 'Don't be overthinking'."

The little monk asked, "Who is it? Do I know each other? Is it still quiet? There are only three little monks in the temple."

"In your temple, is there a resident who has lived here for a long time and often comes here to sit?" Wu Yifu asked.

"Uh." The little monk nodded, "Yes! Mr. Lin."

Wu Yifu smiled, "What does he look like? Is his face full of wrinkles?"

The little monk nodded, "That's right, after all, I'm old."

Wu Yifu said, "Please give him a word for me."

The little monk nodded, "Okay, what the benefactor wants to say to Mr. Lin, I will tell him when he has breakfast tomorrow morning."

Wu Yifu stood up.

The little monk raised his face.

Wu Yifu stretched out his hand, patted the young monk's bare head lightly, and said, "Tell him, I've been here."

The little monk looked at Wu Yifu who had finished speaking, turned around and walked back slowly, and was a little puzzled, "That, what's your name?"

Wu Yifu waved his sleeve lightly, and said, "He knows, he has been waiting for me here for many years."

The little monk watched Wu Yifu go away stupidly, went around the temple, and scratched his head when he couldn't see him anymore. It is said that this old man Lin has always lived in the temple. In the past, Abbot Huiming said, This old man has lived for decades, and has been waiting for a person, but that person has never come.

……

Wu Yifu went down the mountain and returned along the way he had just come.

Long Qiaoguang was still the same as when he came, following behind him, while walking, Long Qiaoguang looked back at the temple on the hill... At this time, above the temple gate, there seemed to be a person standing... covered by the shadow of the tree Sight, can't see clearly.

By the time Wu Yifu returned to Kaifeng City, the sky was already bright.

On Nantian Street, Zhan Zhao's favorite fish skin dumpling shop opened early, and the boss was setting the tables, and the smell of fish could already be smelled in the room.

Wu Yifu walked to the front of the breakfast shop and stopped.

The boss looked up and saw him, and asked, "Master, are you on your way so early? Have a bowl of dumplings?"

Wu Yifu nodded, sat down, and said, "I want two bowls."

The boss smiled and went to serve it for him, while thinking, this scholar looks skinny but he can eat quite a lot, he can eat two bowls by himself.

After Wu Yifu sat down, he reached out and patted the chair next to him, and asked, "Have you brought any money?"

Holding two bowls of dumplings, the boss wondered—there was no one at the table, who was this scholar talking to?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a man falling from the roof, scratching his head, walked to the table and sat down, reached out and took out the silver, put it on the table, and paid for Wu Yifu's breakfast.

The boss blinked, surprised—oh, isn't this mustache the right general of the Zhao family army?Not dazzled?

The boss put two bowls of hot dumplings in front of them.

Wu Yifu ate dumplings with a spoon.

Long Qiaoguang was also eating while holding the bowl, and asked, "The old man who lives in the temple is Lin Miao?"

Wu Yifu nodded.

"How do you know he's in the temple?" Long Qiaoguang was curious, "It doesn't matter if you spread the word like this? What if you startle the snake and run away?"

Wu Yifu smiled lightly, reached out for the vinegar dish to scoop vinegar into the bowl, and said, "Lin Da and I met at the back mountain of the temple just now."

"Oh..." Long Qiaoguang nodded, waiting for his master to continue.

"Lin Da died because of me, Xiao Sanshui should be waiting there, thinking that I will think of Lin Da one day, so go there and have a look." Wu Yifu said lightly.

"Then... have you been there?" Long Qiaoguang asked, "He has been waiting all these years?"

Wu Yifu shook his head, "I haven't been there."

Long Qiaoguang wondered, "Why don't you go and have a look?"

"Because I haven't thought of Lin Da once." Wu Yifu said frankly, "That's why I haven't been there."

Long Qiaoguang looked at Wu Yifu in confusion, "That person died because of you, haven't you thought about him?"

Wu Yifu nodded, "This is probably why Xiao Sanshui hates me day by day."

Long Qiaoguang nodded stupidly, "Is that so...you really haven't thought about it?"

Wu Yifu smiled and said, "I really haven't thought about it."

Long Qiaoguang scratched his head and asked, "Why don't you want to?"

"Do you often think of the past?" Wu Yifu asked back.

"Yeah." General Right nodded, "A lot, I often think about it."

"For example?" Wu Yifu seemed quite interested.

"Hmm..." Long Qiaoguang was a chatterbox himself, and started talking with his arms folded, "For example, when I was young, I went hunting with my brothers, got into trouble and got spanked by my godfather, and had some particularly fierce battles. , brothers who died on the battlefield, strange people I met, and so on.”

Wu Yifu listened while eating and didn't interrupt.

"Master, what do you think about when you are free all these years?" Long Qiaoguang asked curiously.

Wu Yifu picked up the last dumpling, looked at the crystal clear dumpling skin, and said, "It seems that you haven't met the most important person yet."

Long Qiaoguang blinked.

Wu Yifu ate the last dumpling, put down the spoon, and said, "Do you know what the happiest state of life looks like?"

Long Qiaoguang looked up and thought.

"Whether you think of the past or the future, you will only think of one person." Wu Yifu said.

Long Qiaoguang looked at him, "Then...the most unfortunate..."

Wu Yifu stood up, "When I think of the past, I can only think of one person. When I think of the future, there is no one."

After finishing speaking, the sick scholar lightly patted his apprentice on the shoulder, "Leave after eating, don't waste it."

Long Qiaoguang looked at the back of Wu Yifu walking back to Kaifeng Mansion, raised his hand, "huluhulu" poured the whole bowl of dumplings into his mouth, stuffed his mouth full and ran to catch up with Wu Yifu, beating his chest and swallowing, while It's not big or small, "Oh, let me say, can't we find another one? Don't be stubborn, I think my wife is good."

Wu Yifu was amused by him, and said, "If you don't bark all the time, be careful that she sets you on fire."

Long Qiaoguang put his hands behind his head and said cheerfully, "Master, let me tell you, you people are living too seriously!"

Wu Yifu was slightly taken aback, looked at him, "Really?"

"That's right, it's good to have a rough life." Long Qiao said broadly, "I've always thought that you are all sick."

Wu Yifu looked at him, "Patient?"

"That's right!" General You nodded, "Although I don't live as long as you, I have been fighting all the year round, and I don't see many other things, except life and death."

Wu Yifu was distracted, listening to what Long Qiaoguang said.

"If you are sick, you need medicine to be cured. Even the fourth son understands this truth." Long Qiaoguang looked at Wu Yifu, "You old gods, if you are seriously ill, you won't take medicine. It’s heavier than a day, and you still expect it to heal by itself? Find another person, that person is your medicine, how can there be no future? The future, the future, just hasn’t come yet. If you don’t come now, it doesn’t mean you won’t come later. Come on, right? Like me, it’s better to live with a thicker skin. For Tianzun, Bai Yutang is his medicine. Why do you think you can live well until now? Isn’t Yin Hou Zhanzhao also yours? Medicine? Madam, maybe it’s the life-saving medicine, and the more medicine you take, the faster you will get better. The key is whether you want to cure your illness, don’t you think so?”

Wu Yifu and Long Qiaoguang walked to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion and asked their disciples, "So...you mean, the reason we are not cured is because we didn't take the medicine. If we want to be cured, the medicine can't be stopped?"

Master Guang nodded, "That's not right! Eat more!"

then……

The early morning maids in Kaifeng Mansion yawned when they heard Wu Yifu's laughter outside.

The fourth son leaned against the window and stretched, curiously looking at Wu Yifu who passed by the window, and saw that the sick scholar seemed to have heard something interesting, and couldn't stop laughing.

Zhan Zhao was also puzzled, turned over in the bed, hugged Xiao Wu who was lying beside his bed, and said to himself, how can Uncle Xiao Huo still laugh like this?

……

At this time, in Hongying Village.

After being busy for most of the night, Yin Lanci, who had just laid down, heard a familiar voice outside. It seemed to be Hong Jiuniang calling, "Little Ci! Nightmare Tail has appeared!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in Hongyingzhai heard a "boom", the door of Yin Lanci's bedroom was kicked open, and the village master Yin rushed out with his clothes on, "Where are you?!"

"Kaifeng Mansion!" Hong Jiuniang said to her standing on the roof, "Xiaolan has gone to call Xue'er!"

Yin Lanci put on her shoes and ran in the direction of Kaifeng City. Just after running out of Hongying Village, she was hit again. She ran to the kitchen to get a basket of freshly made rice cakes, and then ran away again.

Hong Jiuniang happily followed.

In the bedroom, Zhan Tianxing rushed out with her daughter-in-law's shawl, but Yin Lanci had already run away and shook her head helplessly.

On the other end, Lu Xueer kicked the door and rushed out of the bedroom.

She was falling asleep just now, when the blue fox yelled outside, "Xue'er! That fellow Nightmare is in Kaifeng!"

Lu Xueer jumped out of the bed with a "chuckle", "This time, I must skin him!"

When Bai Xia chased out the gate with his wife's cloak, there was no sign of Lu Xueer.

Bai Xia rubbed her chin, seriously considering whether to go to Zhan Tianxing for a drink, the daughter-in-law went to find her son and probably won't be back for a while.

……

Early in the morning in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang woke up to take a shower, and as soon as they went to the yard to stretch, they felt a jolt.

Zhan Zhao hissed, looked left and right, and asked Bai Yutang, "Do you feel a chill?"

Bai Yutang frowned, wiped his face with a handkerchief of cold water, and replied, "It's going to snow."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then raised his face... and saw snowflakes starting to fall from the sky.

Zhan Zhao looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, and asked Bai Yutang, "What did you do?"

Bai Yutang shook his head and said, "It's about time for snow."

By the time the sky brightened, a lot of snow had accumulated in Kaifeng City.

Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi ran all over the yard in cotton jackets, followed by Xiaowu and Yaoyao who were also having fun.

Yaoyao's big tail swept countless snowflakes in the yard, Tianzun had a snowball fight with two children, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger at this time.

In the palace, Zhao Zhen had a snowball fight with Xiangxiang and Concubine Pang in the courtyard, while Nangong Ji led a group of guards to shovel the snow, preparing to build a big snowman for Xiangxiang.

Kaifeng mansion.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiao ran in with an umbrella in his arms. As soon as he saw Tianzun who was making a snowman, he went up to deliver the umbrella.

Tianzun opened the umbrella and saw the umbrella surface made of white silk with a picture of a mountain scene painted on it. He opened the umbrella and took two steps in the snow, and then looked... the mountain scene covered with snow turned into a snow scene, exquisite extraordinary.

Lin Xiao's gift was as good as he wanted, and Tianzun had a smile on his face.

Fifth Lord raised his eyebrows slightly—well, Lin Xiao has a bright future, and he can flatter his ass!

At this time, the door of Wu Yifu's room also opened.

Zhan Zhao saw the sick scholar coming out wearing a thick white ferret cloak, Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er took a good look at the hand warmer and hot ginger tea.

Wu Yifu couldn't laugh or cry, he really treated him like a sick man.

After drinking ginger tea and taking over the stove, Wu Yifu waved to Lin Xiao, "Are you free?"

Lin Xiao nodded.

Wu Yifu took out two paintings from the room, which seemed to be drawn by him just last night, put them on the table, and said to Lin Xiao, "Draw me two as shown."

Lin Xiao glanced at it, and it was an ordinary snow scene picture, which was not difficult, so he started to draw.

Zhan Zhao came up to take a look, and Bai Yutang also looked at it carefully, and asked, "Is it the other two of the three paintings?"

Wu Yifu nodded.

"Then... do you know where the gold is hidden?" Zhao Pu and others were curious.

"Just look at one picture and you'll know." Wu Yifu crossed his legs and drank tea slowly

"Where is it hidden?" Lin Yehuo moved a stool and sat next to Wu Yifu, and asked curiously, "How much money?"

Wu Yifu smiled slightly, "You don't really want to look for it, do you? It's not in Kaifeng at all, but far away."

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Then what should we do? How to draw Nightmare Tail?"

"He just wants money. We have plenty of money here, don't we?" Wu Yifu smiled slightly.

Everyone looked up and thought for a while, and finally turned to look at Bai Yutang.

Fifth Master held a teacup and blinked, then asked, "What should I do?"

Wu Yifu thought for a while, then smiled lightly, "It's a rare game, let's have something interesting."

Everyone stared at the sick scholar's smiling face with their eyes wide open.

Zhan Zhao looked at Yin Hou behind him in surprise.

Yin Hou and Tianzun looked at each other, the surprise on his face was not inferior to that of Zhan Zhao.

Lin Yehuo tugged at Zou Liang who was beside him and whispered, "Oh, did he feel bored because he was not feeling well before? Has he recovered now? Does he look quite lively?"

Zou Liang also found it strange that Wu Yifu seemed to be different from before.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao looked suspicious——not to mention Zou Lianglin Yehuo had never seen Wu Yifu who was so happy, he had never seen him at such a young age.

But Yin Hou and Tianzun were even more puzzled—isn't this the You Lian who liked to punish people a long time ago?Where is that gloomy sick scholar?What happened?

The two elderly people were puzzled when they saw Long Qiaoguang running in with dozens of cages in both hands, and put the cages from two small buildings on the table. Master Guang opened the upper floor and asked, "Master, eat steamed stuffed buns." Is it?"

Wu Yifu shook his head.

"Where are the steamed dumplings?" Long Qiaoguang slipped Wu Yifu's unwanted buns to Zhao Pu, and went to open the next floor.The Ninth Prince twitched the corner of his mouth while holding the bun, while Gongsun took a plain bun to eat.

"Glutinous rice chicken?"

Wu Yifu frowned and shook his head.

"Double rice dumpling?"

Shaking his head.

"Mochi?"

Shaking his head.

"Sweet cake?"

Shaking his head.

"Egg rolls?"

Shaking his head.

"Spring rolls?"

Still shaking his head.

"Taro balls?"

Wu Yifu didn't even bother to shake his head, so he frowned, looking like a special uncle.

In the end, everyone's hands were stuffed with all kinds of breakfast that sick scholars disliked, and Long Qiaoguang finally found a basket of fish and meat.

Wu Yifu raised his eyebrows, "Well, this is not bad..."

Master Guang immediately took the chopsticks and passed them over, and then ran to fill the soy milk.

Zhan Zhao was eating the steamed buns, and asked Bai Yutang, who was looking at the glutinous rice chicken in his hand with distaste, "For a moment just now, I felt that Uncle Xiaofu was more picky and difficult to serve than you." Bai Yutang stuffed the glutinous rice chicken into the small Fifth, Bian nodded to Zhan Zhao—agreeing.

Behind him, Tianzun and Yin Hou, who were eating steamed dumplings, looked at each other—the one in front of him who was more difficult to serve than the emperor, wasn't he the arrogant General You Lian who was arrogant, the proud son of heaven, and mad at others?Where did Wu Yifu go?Is this the rhythm of recovering from illness after sleeping?

"Yanwei can be lured out with money... what about Lin Miao?" Tianzun asked Wu Yifu curiously, "How do you solve that?"

"Yeah." Wu Yifu ate a siu mai gracefully, thought for a while, and said, "Let's just say I want to get married..."

"puff."

The soy milk that Zhan Zhao had just swallowed sprayed out, but fortunately Bai Yutang hid quickly, and in a flash...it was all sprayed into the snow.

"Getting married?" Everyone's voices were raised a little, and the fourth son's eyes widened - do you want to have a wedding? !

"You..." Yin Hou stared at Wu Yifu for a long time with his mouth open, and asked, "Are you going to marry or marry?"

Wu Yifu glanced at Yin Hou sideways, thought for a while, "Well, when Jiuniang comes back, ask her if she is willing to marry..."

Everyone present gasped.

Zhan Zhao kept beating his chest, and Baozi choked.

Fifth Master reached out his hand and rubbed his chest silently.
