The master of cultivating immortals protects me

【Ten years later】

I don't know if it's because of autumn, but there seems to be a little more depression in the bustling Xujia City in the past.

The leaves of the green trees hanging down the street are withered and yellow, and a half-dyed yellow leaf hangs its head like a silk. From the buds in spring to the tall and straight in summer, it will never survive the cold winter, and there is a burst of bleakness When the autumn wind blew lightly, it broke its neck and fluttered lightly from side to side and fell down.

"drive!"

From far to near, horseshoes beat the ground like chaotic drums. Pedestrians with burdens scrambled to the side and almost lost their straw sandals. The cool autumn seemed to take away people's energy. The cursing and cursing in the past are now nothing but the habitual glaring.

Four or five tall horses galloped through the middle of the road, raising waves of annoying dust, and the riders were all wrapped up tightly, as if they had come from afar.

The half-withered and yellow leaf that was about to fall on the ground was drawn into the team of galloping horses, like a small boat in a rough sea, being pushed helplessly, until finally it landed lightly in a broken body. In the man's plain white palm.

Two clean and white fingers were twisting the petioles of the withered yellow leaves. A man who appeared on the side of the road at some time was wearing a cloak and robe that had not been washed away from the wind and dust, covering his hair and neck, revealing only a pair of clear and clear eyes.

The horse team that was going away took a deep look, and when the man turned around and jumped on the horse, he heard the complaints of passers-by who were carrying burdens: "Hey, the Xu family is not getting better every year, and I heard that they are almost unable to keep the big four. The position of the family is gone, I'm afraid Xujiacheng will have to change its name in a few years."

Another person didn't think so: "The skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Did you see those people just now? Maybe they were found by the Xu family. In a while, it will be the four big family meetings once every ten years. I I'm sure the Xu family will make some moves."

The two small townsfolk quarreled fiercely talking about people they had never seen in their entire lives. They didn't know when a foreigner with a horse appeared next to them, and they didn't know when the foreigner left. With a hint of sweetness.

Ten years will not make the Xu family, one of the four major families, ruined, but it will be enough for people to see her weakness.

If there is anything that has not changed in the Xu Family City in the past ten years, it is probably the Songhe Tower in the Xu Family City.

Ten years ago, the grand and elegant city was unique, and ten years later, it is still so grand and lively. The decline of the Xu family has not affected Songhe Tower. The status of Crane Tower in Xujiacheng and even Zongzheng Kingdom.

The reason is simple, not because of any mysterious forces behind Songhe Tower, but because Songhe Tower has suddenly changed its own menu since ten years ago, and the dignitaries who are familiar with Songhe Tower have never seen anything from the menu. "Flying to the sky" is a kind of "precious dish" with only one white chicken. It seems that overnight, the chefs of Songhe Tower have been conjured up by immortals, making the guests linger and shout delicious. delicacies.

The reason why Songhe Tower has been stable until now and has taken root in Zongzheng Kingdom is that simple - her family's food is delicious, and there is no other restaurant that is better than Songhe Tower.

The man leading the horse stood at the gate of Songhe Tower. His long, dusty robe and cloak wrapped him like a rice dumpling for the Dragon Boat Festival, only revealing a few white fingers and a pair of overly bright eyes. Come.

The man stood at the door and poked his head into the Songhe Tower. Although he couldn't see the facial expression, he could guess from his eyes that the man's mouth should be pursed at the moment.

The meetings of the four major families are held in each city in turn. This year it happens to be the turn of Xujiacheng. Songhe Tower is the best inn in the city. Most of the guest rooms were booked by the other three major families last year. , there shouldn't be many guest rooms left, otherwise Songhe Tower wouldn't be crowded with people like anything else.

The man waited at the door for a while, and when he was hesitating whether to go in, his eyes suddenly lit up. Many people left Songhe Tower angrily after learning that the guest rooms were full and went to find other accommodations. However, three men and one woman were still standing in the Songhe Tower, and a shop waiter was talking beside him with reverence.

The man blinked his eyes, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes. He remembered that these four people were the ones who rode horses on the street before.

His eyes fell on the waists of those people. Each of them wore a long sword that looked very valuable. There were neatly tied and beautiful sword tassels. The intricate and delicate sun and moon pattern, he knew that pattern, was a unique symbol of the Gongsun family, one of the four major families.

Just as the phoenix pattern is the unique symbol of the Xu family, the other three major families also have their own symbols.

The eyeballs rolled around like a cunning fox, and the man just left the horse outside the door and walked in. The waiter in Songhe Tower thought that this man was also here to inquire about the housing, and said with a smile on his face, very embarrassed: "Guest officer, the hotel's rooms are full—"

The rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and the waiter stared wide-eyed at the dusty man pulling down the scarf that had been covering his nose and mouth. He didn't know whether he was shocked by the man's handsome face, or was caught in the air. The strange sweetness that suddenly permeated made me dizzy.

After hearing what the waiter said, the man lowered his eyes pretending to be disappointed. Although there was no expression on his face, the disappointment could not be concealed in his tone: "Shop, is it really gone?"

"I, I..." The shop clerk suddenly found that his tongue was tied tightly, and somehow he couldn't say no to this customer like he did to other people.

Fortunately, someone nearby pulled the waiter out of the predicament, and the tallest man among the three men and one woman stood up, with a slightly flattering smile that he didn't even realize: "In Xia Gongsunzhuang, my friend, If you don't mind, you can stay in my room."

Being courteous for nothing is either adultery or robbery, the man looked at this kind man named Gongsun Zhuang with a bit of vigilance.

Aware of his abruptness and the meaning of his words that could be easily misunderstood, seeing the other party showing some vigilance, Gongsun Zhuang hurriedly explained: "The four of us are all from the Gongsun family, and we have booked four rooms in total. If you don't have room I can free up my room."

"You and I meet by chance and don't know each other, how embarrassing it is." As he said so, the man's feet still stayed where they were and did not intend to leave.

"Meeting by chance is also fate. If I can make friends with Your Excellency because of this, I, Gongsunzhuang, will be lucky." Gongsunzhuang carefully observed the man's reaction, as if he was afraid that the other party would suddenly appear unhappy or angry. The two men and one woman next to him were dumbfounded.

Is this still the big brother they know?

On weekdays, the senior brother who is as serious as a rock and a giant tree is secretly trying to curry favor with a strange man?

Gongsun Zhuang's persistence and initiative surprised the man a little bit. The surprise that flashed in his eyes could be revealed naturally without any disguise. After hesitating for a moment with a frown, the man nodded slowly: "That would be troublesome." gone."

Gongsun Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, the man turned his head to look at his horse obediently staying outside the door, Gongsun Zhuang made a deliberate gesture and suggested: "Master is full of dust, why don't you go to the room to rest earlier, if you trust me , and I will take care of the rest.”

After saying this, I realized that I was too proactive. The always prudent senior brother Gongsun actually looked at this stranger with a bit of anxiety, but his whole body exuded the fragrance of rainwater that has not yet dripped from the petals on the grassland after the rain. Spiritual man.

When the strange man was still outside the Songhe Tower, Gongsun Zhuang felt the aura of this man, and it seemed to be lingering on the apex of his heart, as if someone took a goose feather and tickled his apex The faint spiritual energy, the breath is so faint that it can be ignored, but it is unexpectedly scratching.

Until the man walked into the Songhe Tower and pulled off the face scarf used to block the wind and sand, the faint aura suddenly became stronger. He knew that he was abnormal, but his reason could not control his instinctive desire to treat strange men. A gesture of goodwill.

"I have long heard that the Gongsun family is jealous of evil, and they are righteous. I just saw it today and realized that it is better to meet each other." The man's words eased the previous embarrassment very well. He was not worried that Gongsun Zhuang would steal his horse. The man smiled lightly. Said, "Then I will trouble Brother Gongsun."

The sound of "Brother Gongsun" without any emotion was like a stone thrown into the heart of the lake in Gongsunzhuang, causing endless water ripples. It was not until the man left Gongsunzhuang that he woke up under the staring eyes of his junior sister. The elder brother who usually shows his love and affection to his junior sister is still thinking about what the man said when he left - my surname is Feng.
