Take a Sigh
Chapter 89
As the end of the year approaches, the dark building is the busiest part of Wanbao Building. Because of the opening of the dark market, it is inevitable that people without good eyesight will come out to make trouble.Duan Hanzhou didn't care about the dark building, he was probably there to accompany Duan Wuyun.
As soon as Shen Zhuo entered Wanbao Building, as soon as the sign at the door was taken off, someone eagerly informed Duan Hanzhou that he and Shen Zhuo would have a quarrel.
But how much enmity can there be between brothers in reality?
Shen Zhuo came here because of Duan Qiu's illness. Duan Hanzhou scolded and cried, and now his face softened a little, and he didn't embarrass Shen Zhuo.
After everyone got to know each other, they sat around outside and waited for the results in the room.
Shen Zhuo didn't want to say more about the elixir, but Duan Hanzhou didn't press him.He knew in his heart that whether it was the Tianxin lotus lamp or the blood of the monster beast, it was not something that could be easily obtained, and if he asked about it, he might touch other people's privacy.
Even if they are brothers, they can't get to the bottom of each other's affairs.
Everyone waited outside for two hours, Duan Qiu digested all the power of the medicine, and the toxins accumulated in her body were discharged from her body. She vomited a few mouthfuls of black blood, and she was exhausted, but there was some pain on her perennially pale face. Rare blood.
Gong Shutong supported her crumbling body, wept with joy, and said with concern: "Duan Qiu, how do you feel?"
There was a smile on Duan Qiu's face, and she held Gong Shutong's hand tightly, emotionally.She feels wonderful now, it is the relief of being expelled from the old disease, which makes her want to groan comfortably.
She never thought that there would be a day when she would return to normal, and she would not have to worry that this stubborn illness would kill her, leaving her no time to seek revenge.
Duan Qiu's smile said everything, Gong Shutong hugged her tightly, and buried her on her shoulder with tears streaming down his face.She has accompanied Duan Qiu all these years, why doesn't her heart ache for her?She was reborn today, so she was naturally happy for Duan Qiu.
Duan Qiu patted Gong Shutong on the back to comfort her. The hoarse voice has not recovered, but it is better than before.
"Don't cry, it's over."
Gong Shutong sniffed, let go of Duan Qiu, and said, "I'll let them bring in the water first, and you can take a good rest after you take a bath and get dressed."
Duan Qiu was sweating all over, as if he had been fished out of the water.The baggy clothes clung to her body, and her long black hair stuck to her face messily.She lowered her head and looked at herself, and felt that this appearance was very inappropriate.
Gong Shutong walked around from behind the screen, briefly explained Duan Qiu's situation, and urged everyone to prepare water.Song Yushu, who was standing outside the door, hurried to make arrangements after listening to half a sentence. A big stone fell to his heart, and he couldn't help but feel joyful.
The female guards in the building quickly brought the water in, and Gong Shutong unceremoniously drove people out of the house.It's okay to treat illnesses across the screen, but now Duan Qiu is going to take a bath, so what's the point of letting these people stay here?
Duan Hanzhou asked everyone to move to another elegant hall. Shen Zhuo noticed Gong Shutong's wrist that had stopped the bleeding, handed her a bottle of medicine, and said, "Don't patronize Duan Qiu and forget about your injury."
Gong Shutong blushed, took the medicine bottle and unceremoniously pushed Shen Zhuo out, made a face at him and closed the door.
The toxins in Duan Qiu's body were removed, and everyone remained calm on the surface, but in fact, their inner emotions had already been overwhelmed.
Duan Hanzhou grabbed Duan Wuyun's hand several times, his palm covered with sweat, he looked up at the expressionless man in front of him, and smirked several times.
Duan Wuyun rubbed his head, feeling a little distressed.For Duan Qiu, Duan Hanzhou, the older brother, has been running around and working tirelessly all these years.After finally surviving until now, all the hardships he had suffered finally came to fruition, which is gratifying.
"I should tell dad quickly so that he can come back sooner." Duan Hanzhou's eyes brightened, he was already thinking about notifying Duan Yanchun of his return.
Seeing this, Duan Wuyun knew that he was already very happy at the moment, so he comforted him: "Father is already on his way back, so there's no need to be like this."
The news from the dark building is always concerned about Duan Yanchun's movements and safety, so Duan Wuyun knows his itinerary.Duan Yanchun is now only a day or two away from Huajin City, it doesn't matter whether he is notified or not.
"If you don't tell dad, you have to tell mother. When Duan Qiu gets better, her knot will be untied."
After Duan Qiu was injured, the attitude of the Duan family was all right and wrong, and they didn't anger the Shen family, but Mrs. Duan was always unhappy. Did not step into Huajin City.
When Duan Hanzhou mentioned her, there was a hint of loss in his voice.
The relationship between his mother and aunt has always been very good, and they were close friends when they were not married, and everyone felt uncomfortable when this happened.Rather than staying in Huajincheng and looking down and not seeing each other, it is better to never see each other.
Duan Wuyun understood what he meant, and said: "Don't worry, leave this to me."
Regardless of the truth of what happened back then, Duan Qiu's recovery is a major event, and Mrs. Duan should really know.
The elegant hall arranged by Duan Hanzhou is close to the courtyard, and the scenery in the courtyard can be seen by opening the window.Shen Zhuo was deeply impressed by this place, because it was a place where he played around in the past, and some of the layouts from his childhood are still preserved and have not changed.
Duan Hanzhou asked someone to serve tea, but Duan Wuyun left before taking his seat.He was going to arrange what he had just said to Duan Hanzhou. The sooner the news got out, the better, but he couldn't let everyone know about it. He needed a trusted confidant.
Shen Zhuo and Duan Hanzhou haven't seen each other for many years, but they have nothing to talk about sitting face to face.The gap between them made the two of them have their own thoughts. Although Shen Zhuo could handle Duan Hanzhou's temperament, he also knew that Duan Wuyun was not there. If he made him cry again, there would be no one to coax him this time.
In comparison, Ling Shuangxue was more at ease.He looked at the elegant hall in front of him, and saw a high platform set up on the desk in the corner, with a row of clay dolls placed on it.Each one is vivid and has a distinctive personality. Ling Shuangxue can match them with the prototype without asking.
It was Shen Zhuo and the others who were photographed at the market when they were young. The youthful Shen Zhuo and the beautiful Duan Hanzhou hooked up shoulder to shoulder, leaning forward and backward with a smile.Duan Wuyun followed them indifferently, his gaze fell on Duan Hanzhou.On the other side are Duan Qiu and Gong Shutong holding hands. Gong Shuqiong is holding a scroll and looking into the distance.
Duan Hanzhou has kept these six dolls, this is what they used to be.
Perhaps Ling Shuangxue took a long time to look at it, and Shen Zhuo's eyes were also attracted to it. He was taken aback when he saw the doll, and muttered softly: "I still keep it."
Duan Hanzhou glared at him and said, "What? You're disappointed that I didn't throw you away?"
"Why? I'm happy and flattered." Shen Zhuo showed a harmless smile. He thought Duan Hanzhou was so angry that even if he didn't throw them away, he would put the six little dolls out of sight, out of sight and out of mind. bother.
Duan Hanzhou looked at the villain, and there was still that shadow on each other, as if they had never changed, and everyone was still the same as before.
Except for Shen Zhuo, to be precise, it was Shen Zhuo in these years.
"You didn't answer me when I asked you just now, so you're going to leave it like this?" Duan Hanzhou's eyes turned and fell on Shen Zhuo.
His masculine and feminine appearance does not make people feel feminine, on the contrary, he is just right and beautiful, with soft eyebrows and heroic spirit.His eyes are like peach blossoms, with a mist like mist, and he commits crimes based on beauty.
Shen Zhuo recalled what Duan Hanzhou said just now, and summed it up with one question, why didn't he come back?
"It's not that I don't want to come back these years, but that I also have difficulties. You see, this time I have the opportunity, didn't I rush back without stopping?"
"If you have a problem, you can hide and be a coward? You don't see anyone, and you don't even say a word?" Duan Hanzhou refused to let go, his eyes fixed on Shen Zhuo, wishing to see two holes in him.
The two of them brothers have always been arguing against each other since they were young, and it is no exception now.
Shen Zhuo laughed, thinking how to explain to Duan Hanzhou.Regarding the matter of seizing the house, there were many people in the sect who had mixed opinions before, so they didn't disclose it at all.After leaving the sect and seeing his family members, he has guessed everything he should have guessed, and he has a faint feeling about what he shouldn't have guessed.
In fact, this matter can't be kept secret for long, but Shen Zhuo can simply delay it for a while, but there is no shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes.
How does Duan Hanzhou understand him?Seeing his wandering eyes, I knew he was thinking of an excuse, so he snorted coldly and said, "I can give you time to explain slowly, but if you dare to lie to me...huh!"
The threat in these words is self-evident, Duan Hanzhou wants the truth, not lies.Even if it takes a little time to know the truth, he doesn't mind.He has been waiting for four years, so he is afraid of waiting a few more days?
Shen Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you everything when the time comes."
This is a disguised acknowledgment that cannot be explained. Duan Hanzhou opened his mouth, and the curse words came to his lips. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Ling Shuangxue who was drinking tea, and swallowed them back.As for Ling Shuangxue's identity, he explained that he was an idler in the mountains, but Duan Hanzhou didn't dare to underestimate him.How can someone who can make Duan Wuyun vigilant be so harmless as he looks on the surface?
Duan Hanzhou was no longer entangled in asking why Shen Zhuo didn't come back, but changed the subject and asked about other things.
"You are entangled|entangled with people in the sect, and you are making a fuss. Everyone in the mainland knows it. This time you come back, why don't you bring people back to see? I am very curious, what kind of celestial beauty is it? , can make you obsessed and ungrateful."
Shen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, it was the first time someone brought up this matter in front of him after he had been back for so long.If Duan Hanzhou didn't say anything, he would have almost forgotten that he and Jiang Ling still have this past. '
Subconsciously, Shen Zhuo glanced at Ling Shuangxue.Duan Hanzhou said it bluntly, even if there was no such thing, Shen Zhuo still felt guilty for no reason.
Seeing that Ling Shuangxue looked normal and didn't care, he was relieved and said with a smile: "It was just a misunderstanding, Junior Brother Jiang has his own heart, and you are no stranger to his lover, Mo Qingyu of the Mo family."
Duan Hanzhou didn't miss Shen Zhuo's eyes, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.Ling Shuangxue has a handsome face, but it is different from his appearance. He is obviously a woman, while Ling Shuangxue has a clear outline, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a straight nose. It is not difficult to see the masculine characteristics.
Duan Hanzhou's first reaction was that Ling Shuangxue was the one in the rumors, but soon Shen Zhuo's words dispelled his idea.Shen Zhuo's look seemed more like he was afraid of Ling Shuangxue's misunderstanding.
The corners of Duan Hanzhou's mouth raised slightly, pretending to be ignorant, and sneered, "How dare you snatch the son-in-law of the Mo family? You have suffered a little over the years, and you are not wronged."
Shen Zhuo thought of the relationship between Jiang Ling and the Mo family in the story. He destroyed the Mo family with his own hands and hated the Mo family. Not all the way."
Duan Hanzhou felt that this sounded a little awkward, so he gave Shen Zhuo a blank look, and said, "Where are you standing? Or do you still have feelings for this Junior Brother Jiang? Otherwise, why are you defending him everywhere? People who like the Mo family, What a good guy he could be."
Duan Hanzhou didn't look good towards the Mo family, and simply killed a boatload of people with one pole. In his opinion, in the big dyeing vat of the Mo family, even lotus flowers could be dyed in all kinds of colors, which is simply hopeless.
Shen Zhuo was speechless. He also had prejudice against Jiang Ling at the beginning, but after getting along with him, he gradually corrected his mentality and felt that Jiang Ling was okay.After all, he is the person who wears the halo of the protagonist. As a child of luck, his character is nothing to say.
It's just that he was implicated by counterfeit goods and lost some reputation for nothing.Shen Zhuo sympathized with him, so he couldn't help but defend him a little bit.
Duan Hanzhou insisted on his own opinion. Seeing his appearance, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but think of Crazy Cao back then. He put the two people's attitudes together, clicked his tongue, and thought: Could it be that they are so close because they almost became brothers-in-law? irritable?
In Jiang Ling's story, Duan Qiu is also one of his confidantes.This is the unreasonable part of the harem literature. Any outstanding woman can't do without being associated with the protagonist.
Shen Zhuo thought about it. In the story, Duan Hanzhou didn't look down on Jiang Ling that much, it's just that... he disliked him very much.
The Duan family's loyalty to their relationship is a couple for a lifetime. Jiang Ling stepped on the bottom line, so it's no wonder that Duan Hanzhou doesn't want to see him.
Shen Zhuo understood, and gave up continuing to defend Jiang Ling.Turning to ask about the situation of the Mo family, the Mo Qingyu he had seen was quite different from the weak girl in the original book, and Duan Hanzhou's indiscriminate attack made him vigilant.
"As far as I know, there is still a difference between Mo Qingyu and the Mo family. As the only direct daughter of the Mo family, she is well-loved at home. She is kind and gentle. She doesn't fight against others, and her reputation is not bad." Shen Zhuo concluded Contrary to Mo Qingyu's temperament in the original book, he is a poor person who is not aggressive and is used as a tool by the family.
Duan Hanzhou sneered and said, "When did you get the news? Are you stupid in Zongmen?"
"Huh?" Shen Zhuo looked over in confusion, even Ling Shuangxue looked sideways slightly.
The change in Mo Qingyu's body is the breakthrough point of everything. What Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue are not sure about now is whether she has been taken away.
Duan Hanzhou saw that Shen Zhuo really didn't know, and the ridicule in his heart eased.
He changed into a comfortable sitting position, propped his forehead, and thought: "I can't remember the exact time, this Miss Mo is no different from what you said at the beginning. In the Mo family, people cannibalize people without spitting out bones. Dirty things are unavoidable between brothers and sisters. As the only young lady, Mo Qingyu was used as a pawn early on. She has a soft personality and has never resisted. But for some reason, she gradually became more courageous and helped the Mo family make suggestions , can often hit the nail on the head, and gradually show its prominence in the Mo family, and it is no longer detained in the backyard."
Shen Zhuo was startled, how similar is this change to his situation?
Duan Hanzhou said that he couldn't remember when such a change began, but it was not difficult to hear from his words that it took a long time, and it could not be changed within a few months.
There is a big gap in time, which is wrong.
Unless there is another traverser in this world.
Shen Zhuo was a little uncertain, and Duan Hanzhou said again: "Compared to the weakness before, this Miss Mo now even shies away from the Mo family. You said, your Junior Brother Jiang fell in love with such a person, is there really something wrong with him? "
"..."
Shen Zhuo was speechless, if Ms. Mo was really that powerful, she wouldn't need Jiang Ling to fight against the entire Mo family in order to save her.
"I said that he and I are just brothers, so don't use your words so ambiguously." Shen Zhuo ignored Duan Hanzhou's words, but struggled to explain his words.
Seeing his resistance, Duan Hanzhou looked at Ling Shuangxue calmly, picked up his cup to drink tea, and turned a blind eye to it.
He seemed to have found something interesting. Shen Zhuo denied his relationship with Jiang Ling, but he didn't deny the matter of breaking his sleeve.Don't like Jiang Ling, do you like the person next to you?
Time passed by the fastest while chatting, and when Shen Zhuo and Duan Hanzhou were talking, Duan Qiu had already bathed and changed, and went to bed to rest.The windows of her house are open, and the fresh air blows away the stale air in the house.
Gong Shutong came to invite people, and when they arrived, Duan Wuyun and Song Yushu were already inside.
Duan Qiu changed out of her usual black clothes and wore a light-colored suit today. She leaned on the soft pillow that Gong Shutong had placed for her, feeling joyful under her exhaustion, and her pale face turned bloody.
Shen Zhuo stepped forward to treat her, and said: "Your body has been poisoned for too long, the damage is too heavy, and some muscles recover slowly. But don't worry, I will send you a new elixir tomorrow, you just need to take good care of it."
"I'm satisfied to be able to detoxify." Duan Qiu didn't care much about Shen Zhuo's words, as long as her body can survive until revenge, she has no regrets.
Shen Zhuo smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are satisfied, I am much more greedy than you."
Duan Qiu looked at him, but didn't speak.
Shen Zhuo's eyes fell on her mask, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Can I have a look at your face?"
Duan Qiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and subconsciously shrunk back while clutching the mask.Her face was completely ruined under the mask, which was a pain she didn't want to show.The corroded skin and flesh can be seen deep in the bone, even if it is covered with a layer of new flesh, it still looks like a pink skeleton.
Duan Hanzhou stood up suddenly, Duan Qiu clenched his fists, stopped Duan Hanzhou's pace after a moment of stalemate, closed his eyes and took off the mask on his face.
Because I haven't seen the light for a long time, the face on the other side is strangely pale. It is not an exaggeration to say that half of the face was destroyed. The scar even spread to the neck behind the ear, but it is covered by clothes and hair, so it is not very visible on weekdays. See.
Shen Zhuo gasped, raised his hand to caress the old scar that had already scabbed over, his skin was as dry as bark, with layers of wrinkles, which made people startled.
Even if they have never seen these scars once, others still can't bear to look at them again.
Duan Qiu opened his eyes, looked straight at Shen Zhuo, and asked, "Is it all right?"
Shen Zhuo nodded, but didn't let Duan Qiu take the mask back.He took out the refined medicinal liquid from the small world, put it in the palm of Duan Qiu, and explained: "This is the muscle-promoting jade bone liquid, which is refined with Tianxin lotus lamp and other medicinal materials. It can make flesh white bones and make people live forever." Youth. For external use, twice a day."
Shen Zhuo's words made others stunned. Duan Qiu held the medicine bottle and looked at Shen Zhuo with suspicion and surprise.She has a sense of unreality, everything is like a dream.To detoxify her, one Tianxin lotus lamp was used up, yet Shen Zhuo was able to come up with a second medicine made from Tianxin lotus lamp.
When did Tianxin Lianzhan become as simple as Chinese cabbage?
"Your injury is too serious, this bottle may not be enough, I will refine it for you in the future. Take care of your injury and don't think about anything else."
Duan Qiu's sense of unreality was added again, she cast a look at Duan Wuyun, Duan Wuyun understood, several restraints fell into the room, isolating all prying eyes from the outside world.
Duan Qiu shook the medicine bottle in his hand, and said, "Do you think I can think about nothing? Why do you have these things? You are innocent and you are guilty. You know that as long as this kind of news leaks out, it will mean a lot to you." What are you wearing?"
Duan Qiu was worried. Thinking about Shen Zhuo's heroic deeds these days, she even got rid of the poison, and she started to have a headache.
Tianxin Lianzhan, the fourth-grade Xisui Pill, is suspected of being surrounded by strange fire. Shen Zhuo in the past four years could not do this step.
Seeing that everyone looked like an enemy, Shen Zhuo couldn't help laughing. He didn't intend to hide this matter, because he still needs Duan Qiu to help him maximize the benefits of these things.
"You don't have to be so surprised. I'm lucky about the Tianxin lotus lamp. I got it from a person by chance. It's the best use of everything. Don't worry too much."
Tianxin Lianzhan is priceless and hard to find in the world. Shen Zhuo said so lightly that Duan Hanzhou began to wonder if he had been tossing around in the past few years.
Both Duan Qiu and Gong Shutong knew that Shen Zhuo was taken away, and they expected that this Taoist was the one he saw when his home was taken away, so they didn't pursue further.
Duan Qiu propped his forehead in thought, this year's auction will be held in Huajin City for the first time, which originally meant to pull Shen's family.Now Shen Zhuo is amazing everywhere, the auction will be very beneficial to him, but how to use it needs to be carefully considered.
Duan Qiu's spirit is not good, and he starts to feel drowsy when he thinks too much.
"Let's find a time to have a good chat." Duan Qiu was obviously tired, and fell asleep after saying this.
Shen Zhuo understood what she meant and asked her to have a good rest. If there is anything to do, we can talk about it another day.
Several big men left the room, leaving only Gong Shutong to take care of Duan Qiu.
When Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue came, it was still early, after a lot of tossing, it was already late, dusk fell, and the lights in the building were brightly lit.
Duan Hanzhou asked them to eat, but Shen Zhuo declined because he wanted to go back first.
Duan Hanzhou thought for a while, his eyes swiveled between Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue, and said: "Okay, let's go."
Seeing that he was about to pull him away, Shen Zhuo asked in puzzlement, "Let's go?"
Duan Hanzhou nodded and said, "I suddenly want to visit my aunt and uncle, can't I?"
Shen Zhuo didn't speak, but gave Duan Hanzhou a polite smile.This kind of thing is of course possible, he has no reason to prevent Duan Hanzhou from going to Shen's house, but he doesn't know why Duan Hanzhou suddenly changed his mind.
Shen Zhuo thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, and several people went out together.
I didn't feel it in the building, but when I got out of the building, everyone realized that it was raining outside.The rain fell softly, inaudibly.Shen Zhuo was wearing an umbrella, and while holding the umbrella for Ling Shuangxue, he turned his head to look at Duan Hanzhou and Duan Wuyun.
Unfortunately, Duan Hanzhou was also looking at him. Seeing how skillful his movements were, he frowned and hesitated to speak.
Shen Zhuo didn't understand, so he said: "It's raining, how about another day?"
Duan Hanzhou ignored him, it was his decision.Duan Wuyun opened the umbrella, and the four of them walked towards Shen's house one by one and one behind the other.
The Shen family was a bit lively tonight, Wen Renqi and Crazy Cao had both returned, and Wen Runing also had time to visit.When Shen Zhuo and the others arrived, Ye Lanxi was hesitating whether to send someone to find him back.
Seeing the four of them together, Ye Lanxi couldn't help being surprised, but soon laughed and said, "Hanzhou and Wuyun are also here, today is just right, you young people have something to talk about."
Duan Hanzhou didn't expect a guest to visit, and he regretted it after entering the door.But after he recognized Wen Runing, his regret disappeared, and instead he looked at everyone with interest.
Seeing the happy atmosphere in the Shen family, it is obvious that these are Shen Zhuo's acquaintances.
Duan Hanzhou thought about the recent news for a while, and before Shen Zhuo could introduce him, he guessed the identities of the other two people.Everyone came and greeted each other a few words, and they quickly became acquainted.
Shen Zhuo seriously asked Crazy Cao and Duan Wuyun to get to know each other well. He said before that if these two people get together, they must have a lot to talk about.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Zhuo made an introduction, Duan Wuyun asked abruptly: "Linqu Cao's family?"
The smile on Crazy Cao's face paused slightly, and he said, "I prefer the identity of a disciple of the Huanyue Immortal Sect."
In just two sentences, there was already a tense atmosphere, but Shen Zhuo didn't seem to notice it, and slipped to sit next to Ling Shuangxue to watch the excitement.There was an undercurrent between Madman Cao and Duan Wuyun. Duan Hanzhou looked sideways, not knowing what kind of tricks Shen Zhuo was playing, so he naturally pulled Duan Wuyun and said, "It's fate for us to meet, let's have a drink together?"
Duan Hanzhou's intervention dispelled the deadlock, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.The wine is Hua Jincheng's fine wine, with a soft taste and not so strong.
When Shen Xiao recovered from his injuries, Ye Lanxi didn't stop him. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he relished the mellow aroma, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed: "If you want to say that the wine from Xuanmen is still delicious from the Xu family. If you all drink wine this year During the Chinese New Year in Huajin City, I will prepare wine for you, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return home, how about it?”
Shen Xiao's words were addressed to a few juniors, but just as he finished speaking, the Sanqingzong disciples who were enjoying themselves just now stopped suddenly, and no one spoke. They all turned their heads to look at Shen Zhuo, and smiled in unison stand up.
Shen Zhuo's drinking of the Xu family's flower wine in the Zongmen Grand Competition turned the field upside down, causing many people to sigh and start to have a headache when they mentioned it.
The weirdness of the few people made other people look sideways. Shen Zhuo looked at them helplessly, thinking of the embarrassing things he did after drinking, rubbed his nose and said: "The Xu family's wine was ordered years ago, dad, you only remembered it at this time." , it's a bit late."
When Shen Xiao thought about it, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Crazy Cao said: "The reservation is only for the wine in the store. If Uncle Shen likes it, I can go and ask."
The Xu family's wine does not restrict the members of the Xu family. Thanks to Xu Qi, Crazy Cao has a little privilege in this regard.Whether it is collection or flower wine, he has a way to get it.
Shen Xiao kept saying yes, and the matter was settled like this.Only Wen Runing and Wen Ren looked at Crazy Cao, and they shook their heads in unison.
drink wine?What wine do you drink?Do you want to see Shen Zhuo's performance of "Jiu Jin Come Up" to demolish the Shen family?
Crazy Cao didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but Duan Wuyun next to him gave a mild smile and looked at Crazy Cao meaningfully.
Everyone was happy today, both elders and juniors drank a few more glasses.
The wine still had stamina, Shen Zhuo was afraid that Ling Shuangxue would feel uncomfortable if he drank too much, so he stopped his drink halfway and changed to tea.Ling Shuangxue was holding the tea, so it was not his fault that he had made up his mind.
It's just a mixture of tea and wine, it seems to get drunk faster.He sat aside and didn't speak, his eyes seemed clear, but his reaction was a little slow.The dishes he ate were made by Shen Zhuo according to his liking, and the others went to talk, but they didn't pay attention to the behavior of the master and the apprentice.
Except for Duan Hanzhou.
He was already skeptical, but after eating this meal, he was even more certain.Others didn't think it was strange, because the two of them didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but sometimes, the details couldn't be hidden.
Although Shen Zhuo has a gentle side, he is not so careful and patient with anyone, he is unconditionally accommodating, and cares about each other's every frown and smile.He subconsciously follows the other party, because he likes it, so he is tolerant.
Ling Shuangxue's identity is unknown, but the people who watched the Shen family and the disciples of the Huanyue Xianzong treated him respectfully, Duan Hanzhou had a guess in his heart.He was overwhelmed by Shen Zhuo's rebellion, but soon felt that he was worrying unfoundedly.
Love requires mutual gratification, unrequited love has no results.Waiting for each other to love each other, is it against the law?Oh, ridiculous.
After the meal, Shen Xiao left Duan Hanzhou to talk, and Duan Wuyun followed Shen Zhuo to his yard to eat.
Wen Runing was going to stay at Shen's house tonight, and Ye Lanxi asked someone to clean up the room during the day.Crazy Cao said that he couldn't drink enough, so he went back to rest first.Ling Shuangxue stood in the corridor for a while, then left.
Shen Zhuo tidied up the small hall and invited everyone to sit down.Duan Wuyun stood at the door and looked at the sky, but did not enter the house.Shen Zhuo knew that he was waiting for Duan Hanzhou, so he didn't bother him after asking once.
The wine was getting hot, so Wen Runing untied his robe and motioned Shen Zhuo to sit down.He wasn't worried that there was an outsider standing at the door, talking to Shen Zhuo about what he had gained these days.
Su Yi and Su Qi joined the Wen family's team. Wen Runing took special care of them, and the two were not ungrateful. Knowing that Wen Runing needed people to collect evidence, they volunteered to stand up.
Shen Zhuo hasn't seen these two people since he returned to Huajincheng. He guessed that they already knew his identity, and he might have a hurdle in his heart.
Shen Zhuo didn't say anything about it, they met by chance and just gave each other a hand.
The two of Su and Yi have a wide range of paths, and they can get in touch with the three schools and nine streams that the Wen family is not easy to deal with, and they can get twice the result with half the effort to cooperate with Crazy Cao.
The counterfeit medicine incident has been going on for a long time. Once the investigation is carried out, the radish is pulled out and the mud is brought out, and the interior of the Alchemist Guild will not be clean.The evidence in Wen Runing's hands is enough to level the opponent's mountain, but this alone is far from enough, they have to do it thoroughly.For now, he is monitoring these people for the time being, paying attention to the flow of medicinal materials.
"The Wen family's influence is not here, and the strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snakes. But next year when the elders are selected, the Wen family will vote for the Shen family. Junior brother, you have to hurry up." Wen Runing stated his plan clearly. , is also your own decision.
Outside the Wen family's jurisdiction, there are mixed forces in the alchemy world, corruption starts from within, and it becomes more and more difficult for low-level monks.
There was quite a bit of criticism within the Wen family about this. Once they gained power, they were not dazzled by the benefits, but instead had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of Taoism.
Because they have struggled at the bottom, they understand the difficulty.Watching the forces at the top attack the bottom, they can't help feeling miserable.
If the Wen family hadn't risen because of the secret realm, once the shock wave of counterfeit medicine spread out, they would be the first to bear the brunt of it.
"I've considered what Eldest Brother said, but those people will definitely not let the Shen family go back so easily. Do Senior Brother know anything about the Qingliu faction in it now?"
"How can there be an absolutely clean school in this world? It's just a conflict of interests, and it depends on whether each other's bargaining chips are enough to take risks. Junior brother, what you have now, in addition to displaying things that can be seen on the bright side, you have to look at it." A hole card that is invisible but can make people feel threatened."
The so-called visible is the fourth-grade marrow washing pill. This thing can subvert the Taoism if it is used well.And invisible, it refers to Shen Zhuo's potential.A threatening young man, a not weak family power, if he can't advance against the river, he can only be knocked down and retreat step by step.
Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes, thoughtful.The situation in front of him already showed signs of falling apart, and the outbreak was only a short fuse.
Wen Runing poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.He was also a little tired, stood up and said to Shen Zhuo: "I don't need to keep a word in my heart, you have to solve the matter four years ago as soon as possible. There are many people in these aristocratic families who can be wooed."
There was something in Wen Runing's words, Shen Zhuo understood, and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will remember this matter."
If the Shen family wanted to get out of the predicament completely, they had to ignore what happened four years ago.Otherwise, no matter how many benefits are in front of them, those people are still stuck in their throats.
Shen Zhuo thought about it for himself, Wen Runing stopped talking, and dragged Wenren beside him to rest.
Duan Wuyun was still at the door, Shen Zhuo came out and stood with him, under the spiritual light, the shadow was stretched.
Shen Zhuo yawned, a little sleepy.Duan Wuyun glanced at him and said, "Go and rest, I'm leaving."
Shen Zhuo didn't move, the spiritual power in his body circulated for a circle, and soon he regained his energy, saying: "The Han Zhou hasn't come yet, so don't worry, big brother. Seeing Senior Brother Cao tonight, what's on your mind?"
Duan Wuyun turned his head to look at Shen Zhuo. He felt Shen Zhuo's deliberation during the dinner tonight. He didn't expect that he would ask directly at this moment.
Duan Wuyun's eyes were dark, and before he could say anything, Duan Hanzhou's voice came from outside the door.Leaning against the moon gate, he folded his arms and said, "It's time to go."
Duan Wuyun left directly, and Shen Zhuo watched them leave with a smile on his face.
Duan Hanzhou heard Shen Zhuo's words, and on the way back, he couldn't help asking.Holding an umbrella, Duan Wuyun said: "That person has an inextricable relationship with the Little Spire. It should be because of him that the dark building's investigation of Shen Zhuo's news was blocked before."
The Small Minaret and the Dark Building are peers, they are both collecting information and laying a news network, so there will inevitably be conflicts.What Shen Zhuo did tonight was to let Duan Wuyun and Crazy Cao get to know each other a little bit, so that if they accidentally run into each other later, they will not hurt their friendship.
Duan Hanzhou raised his eyes, let out a sneer, and began to criticize Shen Zhuo's flowery intestines.
Shen Zhuo, who was far away at home, sneezed. He rubbed his nose, knowing that someone missed him without thinking.
After extinguishing the spiritual lamp in the small hall, Shen Zhuo walked to Lingshuangxue's room, hesitated for a moment and did not open the door.Different from the carelessness of Wen Renqi and Crazy Cao, Wen Runing has deep thoughts, and Shen Zhuo still has to be vigilant.
He turned to go back to the next room, but the door beside him opened.Ling Shuangxue held Shen Zhuo's hand and pulled him into the door.
Before Shen Zhuo could react, he was pressed by Ling Shuangxue|On the closed door, Ling Shuangxue was only wearing unlined clothing, and there was no fire in the room, the coldness was obvious.
Ling Shuangxue presses on Shen Zhuo's chest, exhaling: "Hot."
With the light outside the house, Shen Zhuo found that Ling Shuangxue's face had an abnormal rosy color.What he said was hot, but the body that leaned against him was cold.
Shen Zhuo held his hand, as if holding ice, the chill pierced his bones.
Shen Zhuo panicked, he quickly picked him up and walked to the bed, he turned on the fire in the room to let the hot air flow.
Ling Shuangxue's body fell into the soft blanket, he looked at Shen Zhuo with clear eyes, but his actions were not necessarily sober.He felt hot, but his body was already covered with a layer of chill.
For a while, Shen Zhuo couldn't tell whether it was the wine or the tea. He was always careful about what Ling Shuangxue brought in, and logically there shouldn't be any mistakes.
He wanted to feel Ling Shuangxue's pulse, but Ling Shuangxue grabbed his wrist and pinned him down on the bed.
Ling Shuangxue bullied her and looked straight at Shen Zhuo.
Shen Zhuo could feel his hands on his chest, and he could clearly feel the chill through his clothes.Ling Shuangxue drew a circle and hooked Shen Zhuo's belt.As if unwrapping a present, layer by layer, Shen Zhuo was soon stripped down to only a pair of obscene pants.
Shen Zhuoren was dumbfounded, and the spring color spread all over his body.
Light gold glowed in Ling Shuangxue's eyes, and the golden bell on her wrist rang.He raised his hands to form an array, counting
As soon as Shen Zhuo entered Wanbao Building, as soon as the sign at the door was taken off, someone eagerly informed Duan Hanzhou that he and Shen Zhuo would have a quarrel.
But how much enmity can there be between brothers in reality?
Shen Zhuo came here because of Duan Qiu's illness. Duan Hanzhou scolded and cried, and now his face softened a little, and he didn't embarrass Shen Zhuo.
After everyone got to know each other, they sat around outside and waited for the results in the room.
Shen Zhuo didn't want to say more about the elixir, but Duan Hanzhou didn't press him.He knew in his heart that whether it was the Tianxin lotus lamp or the blood of the monster beast, it was not something that could be easily obtained, and if he asked about it, he might touch other people's privacy.
Even if they are brothers, they can't get to the bottom of each other's affairs.
Everyone waited outside for two hours, Duan Qiu digested all the power of the medicine, and the toxins accumulated in her body were discharged from her body. She vomited a few mouthfuls of black blood, and she was exhausted, but there was some pain on her perennially pale face. Rare blood.
Gong Shutong supported her crumbling body, wept with joy, and said with concern: "Duan Qiu, how do you feel?"
There was a smile on Duan Qiu's face, and she held Gong Shutong's hand tightly, emotionally.She feels wonderful now, it is the relief of being expelled from the old disease, which makes her want to groan comfortably.
She never thought that there would be a day when she would return to normal, and she would not have to worry that this stubborn illness would kill her, leaving her no time to seek revenge.
Duan Qiu's smile said everything, Gong Shutong hugged her tightly, and buried her on her shoulder with tears streaming down his face.She has accompanied Duan Qiu all these years, why doesn't her heart ache for her?She was reborn today, so she was naturally happy for Duan Qiu.
Duan Qiu patted Gong Shutong on the back to comfort her. The hoarse voice has not recovered, but it is better than before.
"Don't cry, it's over."
Gong Shutong sniffed, let go of Duan Qiu, and said, "I'll let them bring in the water first, and you can take a good rest after you take a bath and get dressed."
Duan Qiu was sweating all over, as if he had been fished out of the water.The baggy clothes clung to her body, and her long black hair stuck to her face messily.She lowered her head and looked at herself, and felt that this appearance was very inappropriate.
Gong Shutong walked around from behind the screen, briefly explained Duan Qiu's situation, and urged everyone to prepare water.Song Yushu, who was standing outside the door, hurried to make arrangements after listening to half a sentence. A big stone fell to his heart, and he couldn't help but feel joyful.
The female guards in the building quickly brought the water in, and Gong Shutong unceremoniously drove people out of the house.It's okay to treat illnesses across the screen, but now Duan Qiu is going to take a bath, so what's the point of letting these people stay here?
Duan Hanzhou asked everyone to move to another elegant hall. Shen Zhuo noticed Gong Shutong's wrist that had stopped the bleeding, handed her a bottle of medicine, and said, "Don't patronize Duan Qiu and forget about your injury."
Gong Shutong blushed, took the medicine bottle and unceremoniously pushed Shen Zhuo out, made a face at him and closed the door.
The toxins in Duan Qiu's body were removed, and everyone remained calm on the surface, but in fact, their inner emotions had already been overwhelmed.
Duan Hanzhou grabbed Duan Wuyun's hand several times, his palm covered with sweat, he looked up at the expressionless man in front of him, and smirked several times.
Duan Wuyun rubbed his head, feeling a little distressed.For Duan Qiu, Duan Hanzhou, the older brother, has been running around and working tirelessly all these years.After finally surviving until now, all the hardships he had suffered finally came to fruition, which is gratifying.
"I should tell dad quickly so that he can come back sooner." Duan Hanzhou's eyes brightened, he was already thinking about notifying Duan Yanchun of his return.
Seeing this, Duan Wuyun knew that he was already very happy at the moment, so he comforted him: "Father is already on his way back, so there's no need to be like this."
The news from the dark building is always concerned about Duan Yanchun's movements and safety, so Duan Wuyun knows his itinerary.Duan Yanchun is now only a day or two away from Huajin City, it doesn't matter whether he is notified or not.
"If you don't tell dad, you have to tell mother. When Duan Qiu gets better, her knot will be untied."
After Duan Qiu was injured, the attitude of the Duan family was all right and wrong, and they didn't anger the Shen family, but Mrs. Duan was always unhappy. Did not step into Huajin City.
When Duan Hanzhou mentioned her, there was a hint of loss in his voice.
The relationship between his mother and aunt has always been very good, and they were close friends when they were not married, and everyone felt uncomfortable when this happened.Rather than staying in Huajincheng and looking down and not seeing each other, it is better to never see each other.
Duan Wuyun understood what he meant, and said: "Don't worry, leave this to me."
Regardless of the truth of what happened back then, Duan Qiu's recovery is a major event, and Mrs. Duan should really know.
The elegant hall arranged by Duan Hanzhou is close to the courtyard, and the scenery in the courtyard can be seen by opening the window.Shen Zhuo was deeply impressed by this place, because it was a place where he played around in the past, and some of the layouts from his childhood are still preserved and have not changed.
Duan Hanzhou asked someone to serve tea, but Duan Wuyun left before taking his seat.He was going to arrange what he had just said to Duan Hanzhou. The sooner the news got out, the better, but he couldn't let everyone know about it. He needed a trusted confidant.
Shen Zhuo and Duan Hanzhou haven't seen each other for many years, but they have nothing to talk about sitting face to face.The gap between them made the two of them have their own thoughts. Although Shen Zhuo could handle Duan Hanzhou's temperament, he also knew that Duan Wuyun was not there. If he made him cry again, there would be no one to coax him this time.
In comparison, Ling Shuangxue was more at ease.He looked at the elegant hall in front of him, and saw a high platform set up on the desk in the corner, with a row of clay dolls placed on it.Each one is vivid and has a distinctive personality. Ling Shuangxue can match them with the prototype without asking.
It was Shen Zhuo and the others who were photographed at the market when they were young. The youthful Shen Zhuo and the beautiful Duan Hanzhou hooked up shoulder to shoulder, leaning forward and backward with a smile.Duan Wuyun followed them indifferently, his gaze fell on Duan Hanzhou.On the other side are Duan Qiu and Gong Shutong holding hands. Gong Shuqiong is holding a scroll and looking into the distance.
Duan Hanzhou has kept these six dolls, this is what they used to be.
Perhaps Ling Shuangxue took a long time to look at it, and Shen Zhuo's eyes were also attracted to it. He was taken aback when he saw the doll, and muttered softly: "I still keep it."
Duan Hanzhou glared at him and said, "What? You're disappointed that I didn't throw you away?"
"Why? I'm happy and flattered." Shen Zhuo showed a harmless smile. He thought Duan Hanzhou was so angry that even if he didn't throw them away, he would put the six little dolls out of sight, out of sight and out of mind. bother.
Duan Hanzhou looked at the villain, and there was still that shadow on each other, as if they had never changed, and everyone was still the same as before.
Except for Shen Zhuo, to be precise, it was Shen Zhuo in these years.
"You didn't answer me when I asked you just now, so you're going to leave it like this?" Duan Hanzhou's eyes turned and fell on Shen Zhuo.
His masculine and feminine appearance does not make people feel feminine, on the contrary, he is just right and beautiful, with soft eyebrows and heroic spirit.His eyes are like peach blossoms, with a mist like mist, and he commits crimes based on beauty.
Shen Zhuo recalled what Duan Hanzhou said just now, and summed it up with one question, why didn't he come back?
"It's not that I don't want to come back these years, but that I also have difficulties. You see, this time I have the opportunity, didn't I rush back without stopping?"
"If you have a problem, you can hide and be a coward? You don't see anyone, and you don't even say a word?" Duan Hanzhou refused to let go, his eyes fixed on Shen Zhuo, wishing to see two holes in him.
The two of them brothers have always been arguing against each other since they were young, and it is no exception now.
Shen Zhuo laughed, thinking how to explain to Duan Hanzhou.Regarding the matter of seizing the house, there were many people in the sect who had mixed opinions before, so they didn't disclose it at all.After leaving the sect and seeing his family members, he has guessed everything he should have guessed, and he has a faint feeling about what he shouldn't have guessed.
In fact, this matter can't be kept secret for long, but Shen Zhuo can simply delay it for a while, but there is no shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes.
How does Duan Hanzhou understand him?Seeing his wandering eyes, I knew he was thinking of an excuse, so he snorted coldly and said, "I can give you time to explain slowly, but if you dare to lie to me...huh!"
The threat in these words is self-evident, Duan Hanzhou wants the truth, not lies.Even if it takes a little time to know the truth, he doesn't mind.He has been waiting for four years, so he is afraid of waiting a few more days?
Shen Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't worry, I will tell you everything when the time comes."
This is a disguised acknowledgment that cannot be explained. Duan Hanzhou opened his mouth, and the curse words came to his lips. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Ling Shuangxue who was drinking tea, and swallowed them back.As for Ling Shuangxue's identity, he explained that he was an idler in the mountains, but Duan Hanzhou didn't dare to underestimate him.How can someone who can make Duan Wuyun vigilant be so harmless as he looks on the surface?
Duan Hanzhou was no longer entangled in asking why Shen Zhuo didn't come back, but changed the subject and asked about other things.
"You are entangled|entangled with people in the sect, and you are making a fuss. Everyone in the mainland knows it. This time you come back, why don't you bring people back to see? I am very curious, what kind of celestial beauty is it? , can make you obsessed and ungrateful."
Shen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, it was the first time someone brought up this matter in front of him after he had been back for so long.If Duan Hanzhou didn't say anything, he would have almost forgotten that he and Jiang Ling still have this past. '
Subconsciously, Shen Zhuo glanced at Ling Shuangxue.Duan Hanzhou said it bluntly, even if there was no such thing, Shen Zhuo still felt guilty for no reason.
Seeing that Ling Shuangxue looked normal and didn't care, he was relieved and said with a smile: "It was just a misunderstanding, Junior Brother Jiang has his own heart, and you are no stranger to his lover, Mo Qingyu of the Mo family."
Duan Hanzhou didn't miss Shen Zhuo's eyes, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.Ling Shuangxue has a handsome face, but it is different from his appearance. He is obviously a woman, while Ling Shuangxue has a clear outline, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a straight nose. It is not difficult to see the masculine characteristics.
Duan Hanzhou's first reaction was that Ling Shuangxue was the one in the rumors, but soon Shen Zhuo's words dispelled his idea.Shen Zhuo's look seemed more like he was afraid of Ling Shuangxue's misunderstanding.
The corners of Duan Hanzhou's mouth raised slightly, pretending to be ignorant, and sneered, "How dare you snatch the son-in-law of the Mo family? You have suffered a little over the years, and you are not wronged."
Shen Zhuo thought of the relationship between Jiang Ling and the Mo family in the story. He destroyed the Mo family with his own hands and hated the Mo family. Not all the way."
Duan Hanzhou felt that this sounded a little awkward, so he gave Shen Zhuo a blank look, and said, "Where are you standing? Or do you still have feelings for this Junior Brother Jiang? Otherwise, why are you defending him everywhere? People who like the Mo family, What a good guy he could be."
Duan Hanzhou didn't look good towards the Mo family, and simply killed a boatload of people with one pole. In his opinion, in the big dyeing vat of the Mo family, even lotus flowers could be dyed in all kinds of colors, which is simply hopeless.
Shen Zhuo was speechless. He also had prejudice against Jiang Ling at the beginning, but after getting along with him, he gradually corrected his mentality and felt that Jiang Ling was okay.After all, he is the person who wears the halo of the protagonist. As a child of luck, his character is nothing to say.
It's just that he was implicated by counterfeit goods and lost some reputation for nothing.Shen Zhuo sympathized with him, so he couldn't help but defend him a little bit.
Duan Hanzhou insisted on his own opinion. Seeing his appearance, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but think of Crazy Cao back then. He put the two people's attitudes together, clicked his tongue, and thought: Could it be that they are so close because they almost became brothers-in-law? irritable?
In Jiang Ling's story, Duan Qiu is also one of his confidantes.This is the unreasonable part of the harem literature. Any outstanding woman can't do without being associated with the protagonist.
Shen Zhuo thought about it. In the story, Duan Hanzhou didn't look down on Jiang Ling that much, it's just that... he disliked him very much.
The Duan family's loyalty to their relationship is a couple for a lifetime. Jiang Ling stepped on the bottom line, so it's no wonder that Duan Hanzhou doesn't want to see him.
Shen Zhuo understood, and gave up continuing to defend Jiang Ling.Turning to ask about the situation of the Mo family, the Mo Qingyu he had seen was quite different from the weak girl in the original book, and Duan Hanzhou's indiscriminate attack made him vigilant.
"As far as I know, there is still a difference between Mo Qingyu and the Mo family. As the only direct daughter of the Mo family, she is well-loved at home. She is kind and gentle. She doesn't fight against others, and her reputation is not bad." Shen Zhuo concluded Contrary to Mo Qingyu's temperament in the original book, he is a poor person who is not aggressive and is used as a tool by the family.
Duan Hanzhou sneered and said, "When did you get the news? Are you stupid in Zongmen?"
"Huh?" Shen Zhuo looked over in confusion, even Ling Shuangxue looked sideways slightly.
The change in Mo Qingyu's body is the breakthrough point of everything. What Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue are not sure about now is whether she has been taken away.
Duan Hanzhou saw that Shen Zhuo really didn't know, and the ridicule in his heart eased.
He changed into a comfortable sitting position, propped his forehead, and thought: "I can't remember the exact time, this Miss Mo is no different from what you said at the beginning. In the Mo family, people cannibalize people without spitting out bones. Dirty things are unavoidable between brothers and sisters. As the only young lady, Mo Qingyu was used as a pawn early on. She has a soft personality and has never resisted. But for some reason, she gradually became more courageous and helped the Mo family make suggestions , can often hit the nail on the head, and gradually show its prominence in the Mo family, and it is no longer detained in the backyard."
Shen Zhuo was startled, how similar is this change to his situation?
Duan Hanzhou said that he couldn't remember when such a change began, but it was not difficult to hear from his words that it took a long time, and it could not be changed within a few months.
There is a big gap in time, which is wrong.
Unless there is another traverser in this world.
Shen Zhuo was a little uncertain, and Duan Hanzhou said again: "Compared to the weakness before, this Miss Mo now even shies away from the Mo family. You said, your Junior Brother Jiang fell in love with such a person, is there really something wrong with him? "
"..."
Shen Zhuo was speechless, if Ms. Mo was really that powerful, she wouldn't need Jiang Ling to fight against the entire Mo family in order to save her.
"I said that he and I are just brothers, so don't use your words so ambiguously." Shen Zhuo ignored Duan Hanzhou's words, but struggled to explain his words.
Seeing his resistance, Duan Hanzhou looked at Ling Shuangxue calmly, picked up his cup to drink tea, and turned a blind eye to it.
He seemed to have found something interesting. Shen Zhuo denied his relationship with Jiang Ling, but he didn't deny the matter of breaking his sleeve.Don't like Jiang Ling, do you like the person next to you?
Time passed by the fastest while chatting, and when Shen Zhuo and Duan Hanzhou were talking, Duan Qiu had already bathed and changed, and went to bed to rest.The windows of her house are open, and the fresh air blows away the stale air in the house.
Gong Shutong came to invite people, and when they arrived, Duan Wuyun and Song Yushu were already inside.
Duan Qiu changed out of her usual black clothes and wore a light-colored suit today. She leaned on the soft pillow that Gong Shutong had placed for her, feeling joyful under her exhaustion, and her pale face turned bloody.
Shen Zhuo stepped forward to treat her, and said: "Your body has been poisoned for too long, the damage is too heavy, and some muscles recover slowly. But don't worry, I will send you a new elixir tomorrow, you just need to take good care of it."
"I'm satisfied to be able to detoxify." Duan Qiu didn't care much about Shen Zhuo's words, as long as her body can survive until revenge, she has no regrets.
Shen Zhuo smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are satisfied, I am much more greedy than you."
Duan Qiu looked at him, but didn't speak.
Shen Zhuo's eyes fell on her mask, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Can I have a look at your face?"
Duan Qiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and subconsciously shrunk back while clutching the mask.Her face was completely ruined under the mask, which was a pain she didn't want to show.The corroded skin and flesh can be seen deep in the bone, even if it is covered with a layer of new flesh, it still looks like a pink skeleton.
Duan Hanzhou stood up suddenly, Duan Qiu clenched his fists, stopped Duan Hanzhou's pace after a moment of stalemate, closed his eyes and took off the mask on his face.
Because I haven't seen the light for a long time, the face on the other side is strangely pale. It is not an exaggeration to say that half of the face was destroyed. The scar even spread to the neck behind the ear, but it is covered by clothes and hair, so it is not very visible on weekdays. See.
Shen Zhuo gasped, raised his hand to caress the old scar that had already scabbed over, his skin was as dry as bark, with layers of wrinkles, which made people startled.
Even if they have never seen these scars once, others still can't bear to look at them again.
Duan Qiu opened his eyes, looked straight at Shen Zhuo, and asked, "Is it all right?"
Shen Zhuo nodded, but didn't let Duan Qiu take the mask back.He took out the refined medicinal liquid from the small world, put it in the palm of Duan Qiu, and explained: "This is the muscle-promoting jade bone liquid, which is refined with Tianxin lotus lamp and other medicinal materials. It can make flesh white bones and make people live forever." Youth. For external use, twice a day."
Shen Zhuo's words made others stunned. Duan Qiu held the medicine bottle and looked at Shen Zhuo with suspicion and surprise.She has a sense of unreality, everything is like a dream.To detoxify her, one Tianxin lotus lamp was used up, yet Shen Zhuo was able to come up with a second medicine made from Tianxin lotus lamp.
When did Tianxin Lianzhan become as simple as Chinese cabbage?
"Your injury is too serious, this bottle may not be enough, I will refine it for you in the future. Take care of your injury and don't think about anything else."
Duan Qiu's sense of unreality was added again, she cast a look at Duan Wuyun, Duan Wuyun understood, several restraints fell into the room, isolating all prying eyes from the outside world.
Duan Qiu shook the medicine bottle in his hand, and said, "Do you think I can think about nothing? Why do you have these things? You are innocent and you are guilty. You know that as long as this kind of news leaks out, it will mean a lot to you." What are you wearing?"
Duan Qiu was worried. Thinking about Shen Zhuo's heroic deeds these days, she even got rid of the poison, and she started to have a headache.
Tianxin Lianzhan, the fourth-grade Xisui Pill, is suspected of being surrounded by strange fire. Shen Zhuo in the past four years could not do this step.
Seeing that everyone looked like an enemy, Shen Zhuo couldn't help laughing. He didn't intend to hide this matter, because he still needs Duan Qiu to help him maximize the benefits of these things.
"You don't have to be so surprised. I'm lucky about the Tianxin lotus lamp. I got it from a person by chance. It's the best use of everything. Don't worry too much."
Tianxin Lianzhan is priceless and hard to find in the world. Shen Zhuo said so lightly that Duan Hanzhou began to wonder if he had been tossing around in the past few years.
Both Duan Qiu and Gong Shutong knew that Shen Zhuo was taken away, and they expected that this Taoist was the one he saw when his home was taken away, so they didn't pursue further.
Duan Qiu propped his forehead in thought, this year's auction will be held in Huajin City for the first time, which originally meant to pull Shen's family.Now Shen Zhuo is amazing everywhere, the auction will be very beneficial to him, but how to use it needs to be carefully considered.
Duan Qiu's spirit is not good, and he starts to feel drowsy when he thinks too much.
"Let's find a time to have a good chat." Duan Qiu was obviously tired, and fell asleep after saying this.
Shen Zhuo understood what she meant and asked her to have a good rest. If there is anything to do, we can talk about it another day.
Several big men left the room, leaving only Gong Shutong to take care of Duan Qiu.
When Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue came, it was still early, after a lot of tossing, it was already late, dusk fell, and the lights in the building were brightly lit.
Duan Hanzhou asked them to eat, but Shen Zhuo declined because he wanted to go back first.
Duan Hanzhou thought for a while, his eyes swiveled between Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue, and said: "Okay, let's go."
Seeing that he was about to pull him away, Shen Zhuo asked in puzzlement, "Let's go?"
Duan Hanzhou nodded and said, "I suddenly want to visit my aunt and uncle, can't I?"
Shen Zhuo didn't speak, but gave Duan Hanzhou a polite smile.This kind of thing is of course possible, he has no reason to prevent Duan Hanzhou from going to Shen's house, but he doesn't know why Duan Hanzhou suddenly changed his mind.
Shen Zhuo thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing, and several people went out together.
I didn't feel it in the building, but when I got out of the building, everyone realized that it was raining outside.The rain fell softly, inaudibly.Shen Zhuo was wearing an umbrella, and while holding the umbrella for Ling Shuangxue, he turned his head to look at Duan Hanzhou and Duan Wuyun.
Unfortunately, Duan Hanzhou was also looking at him. Seeing how skillful his movements were, he frowned and hesitated to speak.
Shen Zhuo didn't understand, so he said: "It's raining, how about another day?"
Duan Hanzhou ignored him, it was his decision.Duan Wuyun opened the umbrella, and the four of them walked towards Shen's house one by one and one behind the other.
The Shen family was a bit lively tonight, Wen Renqi and Crazy Cao had both returned, and Wen Runing also had time to visit.When Shen Zhuo and the others arrived, Ye Lanxi was hesitating whether to send someone to find him back.
Seeing the four of them together, Ye Lanxi couldn't help being surprised, but soon laughed and said, "Hanzhou and Wuyun are also here, today is just right, you young people have something to talk about."
Duan Hanzhou didn't expect a guest to visit, and he regretted it after entering the door.But after he recognized Wen Runing, his regret disappeared, and instead he looked at everyone with interest.
Seeing the happy atmosphere in the Shen family, it is obvious that these are Shen Zhuo's acquaintances.
Duan Hanzhou thought about the recent news for a while, and before Shen Zhuo could introduce him, he guessed the identities of the other two people.Everyone came and greeted each other a few words, and they quickly became acquainted.
Shen Zhuo seriously asked Crazy Cao and Duan Wuyun to get to know each other well. He said before that if these two people get together, they must have a lot to talk about.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Zhuo made an introduction, Duan Wuyun asked abruptly: "Linqu Cao's family?"
The smile on Crazy Cao's face paused slightly, and he said, "I prefer the identity of a disciple of the Huanyue Immortal Sect."
In just two sentences, there was already a tense atmosphere, but Shen Zhuo didn't seem to notice it, and slipped to sit next to Ling Shuangxue to watch the excitement.There was an undercurrent between Madman Cao and Duan Wuyun. Duan Hanzhou looked sideways, not knowing what kind of tricks Shen Zhuo was playing, so he naturally pulled Duan Wuyun and said, "It's fate for us to meet, let's have a drink together?"
Duan Hanzhou's intervention dispelled the deadlock, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.The wine is Hua Jincheng's fine wine, with a soft taste and not so strong.
When Shen Xiao recovered from his injuries, Ye Lanxi didn't stop him. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he relished the mellow aroma, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed: "If you want to say that the wine from Xuanmen is still delicious from the Xu family. If you all drink wine this year During the Chinese New Year in Huajin City, I will prepare wine for you, if you don’t get drunk, you won’t return home, how about it?”
Shen Xiao's words were addressed to a few juniors, but just as he finished speaking, the Sanqingzong disciples who were enjoying themselves just now stopped suddenly, and no one spoke. They all turned their heads to look at Shen Zhuo, and smiled in unison stand up.
Shen Zhuo's drinking of the Xu family's flower wine in the Zongmen Grand Competition turned the field upside down, causing many people to sigh and start to have a headache when they mentioned it.
The weirdness of the few people made other people look sideways. Shen Zhuo looked at them helplessly, thinking of the embarrassing things he did after drinking, rubbed his nose and said: "The Xu family's wine was ordered years ago, dad, you only remembered it at this time." , it's a bit late."
When Shen Xiao thought about it, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Crazy Cao said: "The reservation is only for the wine in the store. If Uncle Shen likes it, I can go and ask."
The Xu family's wine does not restrict the members of the Xu family. Thanks to Xu Qi, Crazy Cao has a little privilege in this regard.Whether it is collection or flower wine, he has a way to get it.
Shen Xiao kept saying yes, and the matter was settled like this.Only Wen Runing and Wen Ren looked at Crazy Cao, and they shook their heads in unison.
drink wine?What wine do you drink?Do you want to see Shen Zhuo's performance of "Jiu Jin Come Up" to demolish the Shen family?
Crazy Cao didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but Duan Wuyun next to him gave a mild smile and looked at Crazy Cao meaningfully.
Everyone was happy today, both elders and juniors drank a few more glasses.
The wine still had stamina, Shen Zhuo was afraid that Ling Shuangxue would feel uncomfortable if he drank too much, so he stopped his drink halfway and changed to tea.Ling Shuangxue was holding the tea, so it was not his fault that he had made up his mind.
It's just a mixture of tea and wine, it seems to get drunk faster.He sat aside and didn't speak, his eyes seemed clear, but his reaction was a little slow.The dishes he ate were made by Shen Zhuo according to his liking, and the others went to talk, but they didn't pay attention to the behavior of the master and the apprentice.
Except for Duan Hanzhou.
He was already skeptical, but after eating this meal, he was even more certain.Others didn't think it was strange, because the two of them didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but sometimes, the details couldn't be hidden.
Although Shen Zhuo has a gentle side, he is not so careful and patient with anyone, he is unconditionally accommodating, and cares about each other's every frown and smile.He subconsciously follows the other party, because he likes it, so he is tolerant.
Ling Shuangxue's identity is unknown, but the people who watched the Shen family and the disciples of the Huanyue Xianzong treated him respectfully, Duan Hanzhou had a guess in his heart.He was overwhelmed by Shen Zhuo's rebellion, but soon felt that he was worrying unfoundedly.
Love requires mutual gratification, unrequited love has no results.Waiting for each other to love each other, is it against the law?Oh, ridiculous.
After the meal, Shen Xiao left Duan Hanzhou to talk, and Duan Wuyun followed Shen Zhuo to his yard to eat.
Wen Runing was going to stay at Shen's house tonight, and Ye Lanxi asked someone to clean up the room during the day.Crazy Cao said that he couldn't drink enough, so he went back to rest first.Ling Shuangxue stood in the corridor for a while, then left.
Shen Zhuo tidied up the small hall and invited everyone to sit down.Duan Wuyun stood at the door and looked at the sky, but did not enter the house.Shen Zhuo knew that he was waiting for Duan Hanzhou, so he didn't bother him after asking once.
The wine was getting hot, so Wen Runing untied his robe and motioned Shen Zhuo to sit down.He wasn't worried that there was an outsider standing at the door, talking to Shen Zhuo about what he had gained these days.
Su Yi and Su Qi joined the Wen family's team. Wen Runing took special care of them, and the two were not ungrateful. Knowing that Wen Runing needed people to collect evidence, they volunteered to stand up.
Shen Zhuo hasn't seen these two people since he returned to Huajincheng. He guessed that they already knew his identity, and he might have a hurdle in his heart.
Shen Zhuo didn't say anything about it, they met by chance and just gave each other a hand.
The two of Su and Yi have a wide range of paths, and they can get in touch with the three schools and nine streams that the Wen family is not easy to deal with, and they can get twice the result with half the effort to cooperate with Crazy Cao.
The counterfeit medicine incident has been going on for a long time. Once the investigation is carried out, the radish is pulled out and the mud is brought out, and the interior of the Alchemist Guild will not be clean.The evidence in Wen Runing's hands is enough to level the opponent's mountain, but this alone is far from enough, they have to do it thoroughly.For now, he is monitoring these people for the time being, paying attention to the flow of medicinal materials.
"The Wen family's influence is not here, and the strong dragon will not overwhelm the local snakes. But next year when the elders are selected, the Wen family will vote for the Shen family. Junior brother, you have to hurry up." Wen Runing stated his plan clearly. , is also your own decision.
Outside the Wen family's jurisdiction, there are mixed forces in the alchemy world, corruption starts from within, and it becomes more and more difficult for low-level monks.
There was quite a bit of criticism within the Wen family about this. Once they gained power, they were not dazzled by the benefits, but instead had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of Taoism.
Because they have struggled at the bottom, they understand the difficulty.Watching the forces at the top attack the bottom, they can't help feeling miserable.
If the Wen family hadn't risen because of the secret realm, once the shock wave of counterfeit medicine spread out, they would be the first to bear the brunt of it.
"I've considered what Eldest Brother said, but those people will definitely not let the Shen family go back so easily. Do Senior Brother know anything about the Qingliu faction in it now?"
"How can there be an absolutely clean school in this world? It's just a conflict of interests, and it depends on whether each other's bargaining chips are enough to take risks. Junior brother, what you have now, in addition to displaying things that can be seen on the bright side, you have to look at it." A hole card that is invisible but can make people feel threatened."
The so-called visible is the fourth-grade marrow washing pill. This thing can subvert the Taoism if it is used well.And invisible, it refers to Shen Zhuo's potential.A threatening young man, a not weak family power, if he can't advance against the river, he can only be knocked down and retreat step by step.
Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes, thoughtful.The situation in front of him already showed signs of falling apart, and the outbreak was only a short fuse.
Wen Runing poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.He was also a little tired, stood up and said to Shen Zhuo: "I don't need to keep a word in my heart, you have to solve the matter four years ago as soon as possible. There are many people in these aristocratic families who can be wooed."
There was something in Wen Runing's words, Shen Zhuo understood, and said, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will remember this matter."
If the Shen family wanted to get out of the predicament completely, they had to ignore what happened four years ago.Otherwise, no matter how many benefits are in front of them, those people are still stuck in their throats.
Shen Zhuo thought about it for himself, Wen Runing stopped talking, and dragged Wenren beside him to rest.
Duan Wuyun was still at the door, Shen Zhuo came out and stood with him, under the spiritual light, the shadow was stretched.
Shen Zhuo yawned, a little sleepy.Duan Wuyun glanced at him and said, "Go and rest, I'm leaving."
Shen Zhuo didn't move, the spiritual power in his body circulated for a circle, and soon he regained his energy, saying: "The Han Zhou hasn't come yet, so don't worry, big brother. Seeing Senior Brother Cao tonight, what's on your mind?"
Duan Wuyun turned his head to look at Shen Zhuo. He felt Shen Zhuo's deliberation during the dinner tonight. He didn't expect that he would ask directly at this moment.
Duan Wuyun's eyes were dark, and before he could say anything, Duan Hanzhou's voice came from outside the door.Leaning against the moon gate, he folded his arms and said, "It's time to go."
Duan Wuyun left directly, and Shen Zhuo watched them leave with a smile on his face.
Duan Hanzhou heard Shen Zhuo's words, and on the way back, he couldn't help asking.Holding an umbrella, Duan Wuyun said: "That person has an inextricable relationship with the Little Spire. It should be because of him that the dark building's investigation of Shen Zhuo's news was blocked before."
The Small Minaret and the Dark Building are peers, they are both collecting information and laying a news network, so there will inevitably be conflicts.What Shen Zhuo did tonight was to let Duan Wuyun and Crazy Cao get to know each other a little bit, so that if they accidentally run into each other later, they will not hurt their friendship.
Duan Hanzhou raised his eyes, let out a sneer, and began to criticize Shen Zhuo's flowery intestines.
Shen Zhuo, who was far away at home, sneezed. He rubbed his nose, knowing that someone missed him without thinking.
After extinguishing the spiritual lamp in the small hall, Shen Zhuo walked to Lingshuangxue's room, hesitated for a moment and did not open the door.Different from the carelessness of Wen Renqi and Crazy Cao, Wen Runing has deep thoughts, and Shen Zhuo still has to be vigilant.
He turned to go back to the next room, but the door beside him opened.Ling Shuangxue held Shen Zhuo's hand and pulled him into the door.
Before Shen Zhuo could react, he was pressed by Ling Shuangxue|On the closed door, Ling Shuangxue was only wearing unlined clothing, and there was no fire in the room, the coldness was obvious.
Ling Shuangxue presses on Shen Zhuo's chest, exhaling: "Hot."
With the light outside the house, Shen Zhuo found that Ling Shuangxue's face had an abnormal rosy color.What he said was hot, but the body that leaned against him was cold.
Shen Zhuo held his hand, as if holding ice, the chill pierced his bones.
Shen Zhuo panicked, he quickly picked him up and walked to the bed, he turned on the fire in the room to let the hot air flow.
Ling Shuangxue's body fell into the soft blanket, he looked at Shen Zhuo with clear eyes, but his actions were not necessarily sober.He felt hot, but his body was already covered with a layer of chill.
For a while, Shen Zhuo couldn't tell whether it was the wine or the tea. He was always careful about what Ling Shuangxue brought in, and logically there shouldn't be any mistakes.
He wanted to feel Ling Shuangxue's pulse, but Ling Shuangxue grabbed his wrist and pinned him down on the bed.
Ling Shuangxue bullied her and looked straight at Shen Zhuo.
Shen Zhuo could feel his hands on his chest, and he could clearly feel the chill through his clothes.Ling Shuangxue drew a circle and hooked Shen Zhuo's belt.As if unwrapping a present, layer by layer, Shen Zhuo was soon stripped down to only a pair of obscene pants.
Shen Zhuoren was dumbfounded, and the spring color spread all over his body.
Light gold glowed in Ling Shuangxue's eyes, and the golden bell on her wrist rang.He raised his hands to form an array, counting
