Prequel to the Master of Demonic Dao

In the evening, they arrived at the Lianhuawu Ferry. Jiang and Wei, who were returning home like swords, almost ran into the Lianhuawu in front. The gate was brightly lit, and Jiang and his wife were already waiting at the gate.

Jiang and Wei rushed forward and called "Father, Mother" and "Suzerain, Madam".Mrs. Jiang looked kindly, and said with a smile, "I'm back, Fengmian, let me show you, I've grown taller again. Changze, Fengmian is in Gusu thanks to you taking care of me." "You all met in Gusu Friends, come in, come in!"

Jiang Fengmian introduced several people to his parents one by one. Jiang Chuzhou met Jin Guangshan and Yu Feipeng brothers and sisters at various meetings. At that time, Bai Qiuxian was still young, and he had never seen Chi Hui.Jiang Chuzhou made a salute and said: "I have heard about Baoshan Sanren for a long time, but I have no luck to meet him. Today I finally see Zangse Sanren, a disciple of Senior Baoshan. Disrespect and disrespect."

Chi Hui hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Jiang, you don't have to be polite. I'm still young, and I'm going to spoil the juniors."

Yu Ziyuan put away her usual arrogance and indifference, and obediently bowed to Jiang Fengmian's parents. Mrs. Jiang couldn't even close her mouth with a smile, and lovingly took Yu Ziyuan's hand into the sword-testing hall.

A large round table was set up in the sword-testing hall, and the maids in the mansion were busy serving dishes, and Wei Changze also went to help.There was a stove next to the table, and there was a big pot stewing something. It was steaming and fragrant, which added to the lively atmosphere.Jiang Fengmian sniffed and said, "Lotus root ribs soup!"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "I know you like it." Then she said to Wei Changze, who was helping to serve the dishes, "Changze, I said earlier that all these tasks can be done by the maids in the house. Come here and sit down, these are all yours." Friends with Fengmian, don't be negligent."

Wei Changze said, "Good lady."

Chi Hui felt that Wei Changze usually looked neither humble nor overbearing, and he was very good at his senses. Jiang Zongzhu and his wife treated him well and didn't treat him as an outsider, but how should he say, there is a sense of distance, even though they grew up together Even if Jiang Fengmian treats him as his own brother, no matter how close he is, he is not his own, but a domestic servant.Wei Changze did an excellent job, but it was also extremely difficult.

Yunmeng's hospitality style is really different from other houses, the host and the guests sit together, regardless of gender, crowded on a big round table, lively and cordial.Mrs. Jiang pulled Yu Ziyuan to sit next to her, and talked to her lovingly. Yu Ziyuan was also uncharacteristically obedient and docile.If Mrs. Jiang is kind and loving to Yu Ziyuan, then she is more polite and respectful to Chi Hui and Bai Qiuxian. Chi Hui thought about it and thought that the problem still lies with herself - her seniority is too high.Baoshan Sanren is more than 130 years old, what should they call her apprentices?Ha ha.

Seeing them chatting affectionately, asking each other how their parents and brothers are doing, it's all about family matters, and they look very familiar, Chi Hui couldn't get in the conversation, so he couldn't help being in a daze, and began to wander.

The difference between this place and the Lan family is really huge.Speaking of the Lan family, how is little Qiren?During the time when she was away from Lan's house, she would sometimes think of him, remember him saying "Help me" with watery eyes, remember him forcibly exchanging her sword tassel, remember him pulling her sleeve reluctantly And decisive hand, Xiao Qiren, I owe you a love, but I can't repay it in this life.

Sitting next to her, Wei Changze called her softly: "Miss Chi, what are you thinking? Come, have some soup." He put a steaming bowl of lotus root ribs soup in front of her. "I like the soup made by my wife best, it has the taste of my mother."

Mother?Chi Hui didn't know what it was like to have a mother. It was said that Wei Changze had no parents since he was a child. How did he feel that this was the taste of a mother?It may be a sincere concern, or it may be that watching him grow up from a young age gave him the same treatment as his own son.Chi Hui was on the mountain. Master didn't mean to treat her badly, but it was the fifth senior brother, Daoist Yanling, who felt like a family member.

Jiang Chuzhou asked about Daoist Yanling. After all, the senior sister and apprentice of the Daoist were all there. Chi Hui gave a general account of the situation at that time, and said embarrassingly: "Sect Master Jiang, I'm really sorry, let your son go. Take a risk."

Jiang Chuzhou said: "You don't have to be like this. How can I just sit back and watch the matter of the Taoist priest? If I was there at that time, I would have gone with me. It's just that the Wen family has become more and more arrogant. It is said that they have attracted strange people from all over the world, and Yunmeng also has them." Found traces of Wen's disciples," he turned to Yu Feipeng and said, "I don't know how Meishan is?"

Yu Feipeng said: "I haven't returned home yet, so I don't know what's going on."

Jiang Chuzhou said: "Forget it, since you have made an appointment to go hunting in Meishan together, then Jiang will not stay longer, and go back to Meishan first to avoid the worry of Sect Master Yu and his wife. Three months later, this year's light meeting will be held in my Yunmeng. Let’s go back to Yunmeng together.”

Everyone said yes.Jin Guangshan said: "Young Master Jiang, I heard that you are famous for Yunmenghe Fenglu, are you lucky enough to get paid today?"

Jiang Fengmian smiled and said: "Actually, Hefenglu is my homemade wine in Lianhuawu, not Yunmeng's special product." Immediately, a maid brought several jars of wine, and the small jars were also exquisite, celadon vases painted with lotus flowers.

Jin Guangshan immediately took a sip from the bottle and sighed: "It's really good wine. It's different from the Tianzixiao in Gusu. It has a fresh and indifferent air of lotus leaves, which is a bit like the Taoist leader."

Chi Hui was taken aback, why did I get involved again, what does it have to do with me.

Everyone looked at Chi Hui together, and Wei Changze said, "Miss Chi, do you want to try it too? The dew on the lotus leaves is used to brew lotus leaves, and lotus leaves are added, so it has a lotus fragrance, very light, not strong .”

Chi Hui tasted it, and it was really light, with the aroma of lotus leaves, and it didn't irritate the throat, so he drank the whole cup and felt good, so he drank a few more cups.This is her first time drinking alcohol. It turns out that wine tastes like this. It's like unlocking a new world. She just drank a jar like this.

She didn't feel drunk, but her head was a little dizzy and she felt a little fluttering. She looked calm, her face was not blushing and her heart was not beating, and she spoke in an orderly manner. The people at the table talked and laughed after dinner.

The whole Lianhuawu fell asleep, and Bai Qiuxian, who was in the same room, also fell asleep.Chi Hui couldn't sleep. After being on a boat for many days, she was shaking in bed as if she was on a boat. In addition, she was dizzy after drinking a little wine. She wanted to go out and have a blast.

The Lianhuawu in the dead of night is very beautiful, with insects humming lowly, lotus fragrant, and the crescent moon hanging high in the clear blue sky.Chi Hui has never experienced this kind of feeling before. Chi Hui lay on the railing, feeling it deeply, sighed softly, and hummed a song: "Turn the breeze to lean on the railing, the wind stops at the bank of the river, the moon hangs high during the three tours, and the bead curtain Mu Juan, among the white clouds..."

There was light footsteps on the wooden floor, and Chi Hui suddenly turned around: "Who!?"

The person who came was also surprised and said, "Miss Chi, why are you here?" It turned out to be Wei Changze.

Chi Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I drank too much, come out to breathe, come, come and sit, chat and sober up."

The two sat down side by side.Chi Hui held his chin with both hands and put it on his knees: "Can't sleep? Feeling timid to return home?"

Wei Changze sighed softly: "Actually, Yunmeng is not my hometown. I only came to Lianhuawu 12 years ago today."

It seemed to be a sad story, Chi Hui patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Wine and stories are the best match, just finished drinking, would you like to tell your story?"

Hearing what she said, Wei Changze seemed to want to laugh, but his story really made people laugh: "I don't remember very clearly, but my wife told me. I was five or six years old at that time, and I was Qishan My father is an ordinary monk, he was hunted down because he offended the Wen family, my father died, and my mother took me all the way to escape, and I went wherever I could, and I came to Yunmeng unintentionally."

He still remembers that day, when his mother gave him the last half of the steamed bun he begged for, but he refused to eat it, and wanted to share half with his mother. The mother smiled and said that she had eaten it.The two were basking in the sun on the side of the street. His mother was lying on the ground, unable to walk. When he saw anyone, he rushed to ask for food, and hugged a lady in purple. The lady looked at him who was in a mess , his eyes were full of pity, and he asked the maid behind him to buy some steamed buns for him. He was very happy, kowtowed to the lady a few times, and gave the steamed buns to his mother, but the mother was cold all over, how could he shake it? Calling her to be motionless, he rushed to chase the kind lady again, saying that his mother was sick and had no money for medical treatment, so he kowtowed to beg her for help. The lady sighed and ordered the maid to bring him and his mother back to Lianhuawu , Ask a doctor to treat his mother.But my mother was sick, hungry and frightened along the way, so she died of a serious illness.

"Madam took pity on me, so she left me to be your son's companion. For more than ten years, she has treated me like a parent."

"In the past ten years, I have often dreamed of being chased and killed. I dreamed that my mother took me to escape. Just now..." It was also a dream just now, and I came out after I woke up and couldn't fall asleep.

Chi Hui sighed: "It turns out that you and the Wen family still have revenge for killing your father. Have you ever thought about revenge over the years?"

Wei Changze said: "Why haven't I thought about it, but I have been in Yunmeng for many years, and I am already part of the Jiang family. If I seek revenge on the Wen family, I will definitely implicate the Jiang family. Lianhuawu is a place I am willing to protect with my life. I cannot implicate Jiang." Home."

Chi Hui pushed Wei Changze's shoulder, "You are still very lucky. You met the Jiang family and knew who your parents were. I am different. I was abandoned only a few days after I was born, and was picked up by Brother Yanling to the mountain , I don’t even know who my parents are, and I even took the surname ‘Chi’ because I found it by the pond. But I was also lucky, I met my master and brother, otherwise I would have starved to death and frozen to death, how could I live I know you by now."

She used to have a lingering heart about the surname "Chi". She picked up her surname Chi by the side of a pond. The master who advocates "following one's will and fate" is too "casual". What if she picked it up by a cesspit?Brother Yanling comforted her: "Even if you picked it up by the cesspit, your surname would not be 'shit', but 'mi'." "Why?" She asked expectantly. "Because 'mi' is 'common' dung, hahahahaha..." She was so angry that she beat Senior Brother Yanling hard.

As she talked, she laughed again, who was optimistic by nature: "No matter what happened before, we are living a very good life now, and there are people who care about us around us. I am already very satisfied."

Wei Changze smiled and looked at her sideways: "Yeah, I'm also very glad that I met you."

Chi Hui let out a "hmm", the alcohol passed away, and drowsiness began to surge. She yawned, rested her chin with one hand, and closed her eyes.

Wei Changze seemed to hesitate for a long time, and said softly, "Fengmian likes you."

Dimly, Chi Hui said: "I like him too, I like you too, and I like Yu Feipeng and Yu Ziyuan too."

Wei Changze was silent again: "It's not that kind of liking, it's the kind of liking that Lan Qiren has for you."

"Oh..." Chi Hui tilted his head and fell asleep leaning on Wei Changze's shoulder.

Wei Changze sat still, afraid of disturbing her sleep, and he didn't want to go back to his room, so he just wanted to sit with her like this.He stared at her for a long time, the night breeze was cool, and he was afraid that she would be caught by the wind, so he smiled helplessly, and hugged her horizontally.In his arms, her head rested on his chest, and she moved slightly, maybe his pounding heartbeat had disturbed her. He stared ahead, not daring to look at that face again, and walked towards her room.

When he woke up, there was a concerned face in front of him, it was Bai Qiuxian.Seeing her wake up, Bai Qiuxian said with a smile: "Sister, did you get enough sleep? Woke up and had breakfast. In the morning, Mrs. Jiang asked you, I said you drank too much last night, so I asked you to sleep a little longer, and she asked me to take the breakfast It's in the room."

Chi Hui got up and sat up: "That would be too rude."

Bai Qiuxian said with a smile: "It's nothing, the Jiang family's family style is very relaxed, you are a guest, and you are not in the Lan family."

Chi Hui touched her head in embarrassment, and suddenly remembered, how did she go back to her room?She only remembered blowing the wind outside, chatting with Wei Changze, and then she didn't remember how to get back to the room at all.

Bai Qiuxian saw what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wei sent you back." Of course she didn't say that Wei Changze brought you back. "My sister can rest for a while after eating breakfast. Brother Yu and his sister are in a hurry to return to Meishan, and we will start tomorrow morning."

It was almost noon after breakfast, Jiang Fengmian invited them to go boating on Lianhua Lake.Outside Lianhuawu is a large lotus pond. A few people sat in a small boat, rowed into the depths of the lotus pond, picked lotus pods, peeled lotus seeds to eat, Jiang Fengmian and Wei Changze jumped into the water, touched a few arm-thick lotus roots and threw them into the boat. Here, tonight's lotus root pork ribs soup is available again.The two lay on both sides of the boat, shaking vigorously, making the people in the boat scream in fright, laughter resounded through the pond, even Jin Guangshan rolled up his sleeves regardless of his appearance, and splashed water on each other; Laughing so hard that he couldn’t close his mouth, a lotus seed flew into his mouth. In the confusion, he didn’t know who threw it. He choked him for a while. Go out and "revenge".

The lotus picking girls on other boats were also attracted by the laughter, and they waved to them with a boat full of lotus pods, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wei!" Holding his head, he shouted and laughed, and after a while, the boat was full of lotus pods, almost burying the person. Jiang Fengmian looked at the lotus pods and said with a smile, "The grass boat borrows arrows!"

Play until the sun is about to set before rowing the boat back.All of them had unkempt hair and their clothes were soaked.Jin Guangshan brushed his wet hair and sighed: "Yunmeng is indeed different from Gusu and Lanling. I used to come to Yunmeng with my father to attend casual meetings, but I didn't dare to play like this. Jin suggested that everyone come to Yunmeng from now on." Meng Tingxue, I will never go to Gusu again."

Yu Ziyuan said: "You have a good idea. Wherever you go, you will be a disaster. If it weren't for the Lan family's strict rules, you would have already harmed the girls in Gusu. You will be a disaster as soon as you leave Gusu. Qin Sisi from Jinling, when she arrived in Yunping City, she had fantasies about Meng Shi again, and she dared to do this when she came to Meishan, so don't blame me for being rude!"

Jin Guangshan said: "Miss Yu, don't worry! If I go to Meishan and find a girl I like, I will definitely marry her back home and become my wife, Jin!"

Yu Ziyuan let out a "hum" and didn't speak again.

When the boat docked, Mrs. Jiang was already waiting on the shore, and Yu Ziyuan's two little maids also came up to meet her, and the group went back to their rooms to change and eat.
