Driven by spiritual power, the boat arrived in Suzhou, Jiangnan in the evening of the second day.

According to the information received by the Linyang faction, the place where the restlessness occurs is the Xuntang area in Suzhou.

Qi Ling and Wu Nong traveled by water, and when they approached Xuntang, they saw boats of all sizes approaching them. Compared with the two, they only had one word: poor.

Those ships were all merchant ships with a lot of cargo on them, and they seemed to be transported towards Xuntang.The ships were all heading in one direction, which meant that they did not go the wrong way. Qi Ling and the others followed the merchant ships and sailed into a stone revetment together.

Mentioning the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably remind people of water, and this stone revetment refers to a waterway, with stone banks on both sides of the road, a small river, squeezed into a water lane by the residents on both sides of the bank .

The people on the shore naturally noticed the big boat coming in. They frowned when they saw the small boat following the boat.

Qi Ling subconsciously wanted to chat with Wu Nong, but felt that he would look too talkative if he took the initiative to find him, so he forcibly suppressed all the words that came out of his mouth.

The two of them entered Xuntang and hadn't landed yet, and they were always looked at with hatred by passers-by.

Qi Ling: "..."

The movement of the boat was driven by Wu Nong with spiritual power, seeing the boat stop suddenly, Qi Ling let out an "eh" to look at Wu Nong, and quickly covered his mouth.

Almost talked to the dog!

Qi Ling glanced at the wet book beside Wu Nong, which was hanging out to dry, and almost fainted out of breath.

He actually picked it up shamelessly just now.It was just using spiritual power, with a wave, the book came up.

Qi Ling thought about it just now, and was angry and annoyed.

Wu Nong started thinking about why he didn't get compliments from the time Qi Ling punched him.

Didn’t the high priest say that his heart pleases him?Since you like him, why are you angry?

This kind of thing is really too complicated.

Qi Ling sneezed, then secretly glanced at Wu Nong, wondering if this person was thinking about his own troubles again.

Anyway, the back is cool.

At this time, the boat in front finally moved, and the people on it yelled at the people on both sides of the bank to retreat. They built a plywood between the boat and the shore, and soon someone carried the goods on the plywood to the shore.

Qi Ling saw the word "Shen" marked on the goods.

The two sat on the boat without moving.The water alley is very spacious for them, but for a huge merchant ship, it is full of waterways.Qi Ling and the others couldn't get through, so they could only stay behind.

"Hey! It's dropped! Be careful!"

Huge ripples were splashed on the water surface, and the boat swayed slightly, Qi Ling raised his head and looked over, it turned out that he accidentally fell into the water when he was moving the cargo.

Soon, the water at the place where the box fell began to change color, the light green color spread out, and at the same time, it gave off a light smell.

Qi Ling hesitated for a moment, "Is it tea?"

The box hit some rock at the bottom of the water, and all the tea leaves in it floated up under the action of the water, and the green leaves seemed to be covered with duckweed.

Someone on the boat climbed the cold handrail and looked down. Seeing this scene, he cursed: "What bad luck!"

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Qi Ling and Wu Nong following behind them.

As expected, his expression also became unfriendly, and he even pointed at Qi Ling and the others and said, "Hey! Immortal cultivators, get the hell out of here! It's just meeting you today!"

After finishing speaking, he even spat at Qi Ling and the others, but the distance was too far, and finally fell into the water.

Qi Ling choked, it's clearly your own problem, how can you still blame him?

Wu Nong put away the notebook on the side and put it into his bosom, Qi Ling saw him lift the sword, and grabbed him, "Don't, don't... just stay safe and don't cause trouble!"

"He's spitting at you!" Wu Nong pointed at the man and said, "See if I don't beat him to the ground today... Let go!"

Qi Ling couldn't hold Wu Nong back, so he had to hug him tightly and put his whole body weight on it, "Calm down! People here don't seem to like immortal cultivators very much. If you make trouble again, we will be kicked out Already!"

As soon as the words fell, before Wu Nong had any reaction, Qi Ling felt something was wrong.

His actions were too "rampant" and attracted a lot of attention from around.

To put it mildly, Qi Ling is like a child, urging Wu Nong to buy something for him, but he won't leave if he doesn't buy something, and he still relies on Wu Nong.To put it bluntly, it means that two big men are not ashamed to hug each other.

"...Cough." Qi Ling got off Wu Nong, pretending nothing happened, and said calmly, "Brother Wu, let's go ashore later and buy a mask."

Wu Nong chuckled, and said coldly, "Now you know you're ashamed?"

Qi Ling moved his head over, a little unnaturally: "No. But... I just think we're too ostentatious."

Wu Nong raised his eyes and stared at the person who scolded Qi Ling.

The man took a few steps back in fright, cursed bad luck in a low voice, and let himself go to work.

Qi Ling and the others continued to move forward after the merchant ship in front left.After landing on the shore, the merchant ship went far away, Qi Ling looked back at the tea leaves floating in the river, and Gu Zi murmured: "Aren't you going to clean it up?"

"useless."

Qi Ling turned his head Xunsheng, and saw an old man with gray hair talking with his back facing him: "The tea leaves that fall into this river will disappear by themselves in a short time, and will reappear every seven days."

The old man's eyes were covered with a layer of cloud, he looked like a blind man, and he couldn't see the sword on Wu Nong's back, so he thought they were ordinary outsiders.

"...Old man." Seeing that his back was always facing him, Qi Ling couldn't help reminding, "Behind."

The old man turned around with his cane on, and he didn't feel embarrassed.

Qi Ling helped the old man to sit aside and said, "Is this river so weird?"

"It was like this more than ten years ago." The old man put down his crutches and said slowly: "This river is named after Xuntang. Since more than ten years ago, as long as the tea merchants passed by here, they found that the tea leaves have decreased. At the beginning , everyone thought it was the staff on the ship who hid it secretly, but after a lot of times, they found out that there was something weird about the river."

Qi Ling: "Since this river is so strange, why did I see several merchant ships transporting tea just now?"

Wu Nong rubbed against Qi Ling, and motioned him to look aside with his eyes.

It turned out that Qi Ling hadn't noticed just now that there were quite a few vendors around Xuntang after landing on the shore, and at a glance, more than half of them were selling tea.

"No way, this is the source of livelihood in Xuntang. You can't stop selling tea because of this. You don't know that people here have feelings for tea, and they won't give up so easily." The old man continued Said: "Some people are even willing to lose their lives for this."

Qi Ling noticed something and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man was right this time, he raised his crutches and pointed at the opposite river: "Xuntang River...it eats people!"

Qi Ling frowned, and continued to listen to the old man.

It turns out that there is a strange thing about the Xuntang River, that is, every seven days, a lot of tea leaves will emerge in the river, filling the whole river, and the smell of tea will also be emitted from the river at this time. , and then pick out the tea leaves, the rest is light green tea.

If you want to ask the source of the tea in the river, it is taken from the passing merchant ships.

Everyone said that the Xuntang River was not clean, and there must be a tea-eating monster living in it.

Later, Xuntang became rich because of tea and became a famous place in Suzhou. The people gradually changed their minds, saying that there are no monsters in this river, and they are obviously gods who bless Xuntang!Xuntang became rich because of tea, so the god took some tea as offerings.

Some people really believe that there are gods in the river, and they will take the initiative to throw tea into it.As time goes by, there will be more and more tea leaves in the Xuntang River.

In addition, when the gods fetch tea, they will divide it among people. Ordinary people will only take a little from the boat, and if they are rich, they will take more, which is considered humane.

The largest tea merchant in Xuntang is undoubtedly the Shen family, and the Shen family has a big business. In recent days, they have made a fortune from the tea business, and they don't care about the tea that fell into the river.

Qi Ling asked Wu Nong to buy water for the old man, but Wu Nong made a lot of noise.Seeing from afar that Wu Nong was about to quarrel with the water seller, Qi Ling said helplessly, "Old man, it's all right, you can continue talking. This god eats tea, why did he later say he eats people?"

"This, it's a recent thing..."

Two or three months ago, in addition to the usual visions, people began to drown.

Xuntang is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The people here, especially those who do business on merchant ships, are all familiar with water since childhood, but it is precisely this kind of people who are familiar with water, and drowning accidents happen one after another.

At first, people thought it was a coincidence, but as more people died, some people who said that there were monsters in the river began to spread rumors, saying that monsters cannibalized people, and the monsters revealed their true colors.

The Shen family is the largest tea merchant, and the most people died.But there are still so many people who are unwilling to leave the Shen family. The reason is that they have been dealing with tea for so many years. If they resign, they don't know what they can do for a while.

According to the old man, just yesterday, Li Da, the only son of the Li family, fell into the river and died while transporting tea in the Shen family.

Wu Nong came back from buying water, Qi Ling saw his dark face, and noticed his ears that were blown red by the wind just now when he was arguing with the people there.The water was still warm, Qi Ling handed the water to the old man, but the old man only moved the water closer and said without drinking it: "There is no tea."

Qi Ling was stunned, and said, "Yes."

Wu Nong thought to himself: What do you dislike?It is a blessing for you, a mortal, to be able to drink the water that the deity bought for you!

"You two don't know, when you invite people in Xuntang, you have to use tea, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful." The old man gave the water to Qi Ling and said: "People here have an unusual affection for tea."

Qi Ling nodded, probably understanding why Wu Nong got into an argument.According to his temper, when the tea seller heard someone go to his place to buy water and complain a little, Wu Nong couldn't help but want to argue with him.

The old man didn't drink water, and he remembered Wu Nong's ears were red from the wind, and asked, "It's still hot. How about you drink it?"

Wu Nong snorted, "No."

"..." If you don't want it, you don't want it, Qi Ling was so fierce by Wu Nong, and he remembered that he hadn't settled with Wu Nong for that broken book, so he snorted and put the bowl in his mouth without drinking any water. Cover your hands in your hands.

The winter wind blew across the water, bringing with it a cool temperature, Qi Ling's hands were warm, and he couldn't help but glance at Wu Nong's reddened ears.

Wu Nong pretended not to notice, but his heart became happy.

The high priest realized that he was wrong for punching him, so he planned to take this bowl of water to admit his mistake.

"Selling tea—"

There was a peddler yelling in the distance, Qi Ling turned his head to look, but Wu Nong blocked his sight.

He snatched the bowl from Qi Ling's hand and drank all the water in one gulp.The body was hot, but the red ears not only did not recover, but turned red even worse.

Qi Ling didn't react, because Leng immediately retracted his hands into his sleeves.

Then, Wu Nong snorted heavily and said, "The water is going to be cold after all, no matter how much you help me cover it, it's useless."

Qi Ling: "?"

"Hmph, seeing that you want me to drink so much, then I'll drink it." Wu Nong covered the place where Qi Ling beat him, and said with a smile, "Qi Ling, do you think I'm very magnanimous? With a glass of water, I forgive you."

Because this deity is pleasing to you, you should be more tolerant in front of the person you are pleasing to your heart.

This is what Wu Nong saw in that book, and he thought it was very reasonable.However, he also has a previous summary, saying that when he is enjoying himself, he should also consider the feelings of the other half, and learn to understand and tolerate each other when the other party says "no" or "stop".

This is what Wu Nong used here.

"..." Qi Ling finally understood what he was talking about, and thought: Forgive me?Heh, it seems that he didn't realize where he was wrong from the beginning to the end.

Wu Nong saw that Qi Ling hadn't moved, and added: "I read it in a book, it's called tolerance."

"..." Qi Ling sneered, "Tolerance, right?"

He walked straight towards Wu Nong, but Wu Nong didn't dodge. He opened his eyes and saw Qi Ling smiling at him the whole time. go in...

Wu Nong was overjoyed: "!"

"Fang Zhong Shu" sincerely does not deceive him!

"Here...not so good..." For the first time, Wu Nong felt his heart beating so fast that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Although he knew that the High Priest after amnesia would sometimes be promiscuous, but as for the promiscuous behavior, right?

Immediately afterwards, Qi Ling laughed again, took out the crumpled copy of "Mandarin Duck and Acacia Spectrum: The Art of the House", which was crumpled and would fall apart again, and threw it with all his might!

With a "plop", the book fell hard into the water.

Wu Nong was stunned for a second, and was about to go up to save the book, but was pulled back by Qi Ling.

Qi Ling pursed his lips, and a perfunctory breath came over his face: "Oh, Brother Wu, I didn't mean it."

"You have to remember to forgive me."
