On the Importance of Chinese Characters

The conversation with Su Wu at night became a secret, and Su Yu acted according to the original plan as if he didn't know it.

The group started from the northeastern part of the northern border, and has already traveled half of the northern border. However, because there are few spirit races gathered in the southwestern part of the northern border, more than two-thirds of the ancestors on the map given by Beisheng have been collected. .

It has been two months since the matter of the Great Sage Emperor's Territory, and the calm along the way finally made Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling heave a sigh of relief.

It should have been hidden.Fang Qiling thought to himself.The two months of fear and fear finally left some shadows in his heart, so he practiced harder and harder.

??

"Leader, the dark defense line around the prince of the northern border is too strong. It is impossible to solve the target without alerting the other party."

Just when Fang Qiling and Zhuang Yunzhou felt that the matter of the Great Sage Emperor's collar was over, they didn't know that a group of people had already quietly followed them.

Huanwu, who was shrouded in gray-black thick fog, sat on a tall tree, squinting his eyes and looking at the small town ahead, where Su Yu and his party were sleeping in the open.

The master took the initiative to kill the Great Sage Emperor of the Northern Territory before. This matter has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Northern Sage. Now he is going to attack someone beside Su Yu. This matter is like dancing on the tip of a knife, even if the target If it wasn't for Su Yu, he wouldn't be so considerate if he wanted to come to Beisheng.

Huanwu thought of his master's instructions before leaving, and felt that the matter was very difficult.It would be easier said than done to kill Zhuang Yunzhou without alerting Su Yu.Sure enough, even if Qingyan, who was the best at hiding and tracking in the Yan clan, was sent out to follow for half a month, he still couldn't find the right time.

If this continues, I'm afraid it won't work.

Huan Wu changed his squatting position without leaving any traces. Under the cover of gray mist, his pale fingers touched the bark of the tree. Lines of divine consciousness lines appeared on it, but it was a nearby map.

Su Yu and his group followed Zuyuan's trail, and the nearest Zuyuan was in Taohua Mansion in the southeast.And if you want to enter the Taohua Mansion from here, you need to go through the Jieshi Forest...

Huan Wu's pale fingers slid across the rough bark, and finally drew a circle to the east of Nanwan Town.

— the setting sun.

It was the last celestial clan gathering village before entering the Jieshi Forest, a small village with only a dozen households in total.In any case, they must make a short stop there to replenish water and food.

Huanwu stood up: "Let's go to Luoyang Village." Since we can't find an opportunity secretly, let's do it openly.

Looking at Nanwan Town for the last time, the eight smokers turned into a cloud of green smoke and rushed towards Luoyang Village.

??

Two days later, a huge carriage slowly drove into Sunset Village.Shenjun's strange animal pulling the cart instantly attracted the attention of the children in the village. The children, big and small, pulled me and I pulled you, hiding at the base of the wall and behind the pile of firewood, watching the group of people curiously.

At the entrance of the village, there were a few women with peach blossom branches on their heads who were sitting and chatting while doing their work. Their eyes lit up when they saw the carriage frame. Greeted in the northern lingua franca with some accents: "Guests from afar, but need to stay overnight? My house has a good big house, the sweetest water and the best dry food!"

Su Wu jumped out of the car, looked along the woman's hand, and saw a blue-tiled house about three feet in length, although it was a bit old, but as far as Luoyang Village was concerned, it was really a good big house.

Su Wu nodded: "Okay, take us there."

When the woman heard the answer, she immediately showed a joyful smile, turned around and led the way. A peach blossom branch grew from the back of her neck, and the branch was inserted into the hair. From the front, it looked like it was decorated with peach blossoms.

"Peach Blossom Clan." Zhuang Yunzhou, who opened the carriage door to breathe, saw this scene and immediately understood.

The Peach Blossom Clan is a group that basically has no fighting power among the ten thousand races, but they are born good cooks. The food tasted by them will be more delicious, and the most famous of the Peach Blossom Clan is their Peach Blossom Brew and Peach Blossom Cake.

It is said that the peach blossom branches on each child of the Peach Blossom family will bloom in the year when they are full, and the parents will pick off all the petals from the child to make peach blossom wine, and take them out on the day when the child gets married as a wedding ceremony for the couple. liquor.

That taste is wonderful.

This time they purposely replenished supplies in Sunset Village, and Su Yu heard that the peach blossom wine here is famous, so he wanted to taste it.

"Guests can park their bikes in the yard. I have six guest rooms in total. How many rooms do you need?" The woman asked with a smile on her face as she led a group of people into Dayuan.

"All six rooms are required."

Su Wu threw out a small bag of source crystals, the woman reached out to catch them, turned upside down casually, and the smile on her face became even wider: "Okay!" Then he continued in a hurry, "Guests, don't worry, the guests in the room Everything is freshly starched."

"My family also provides meals, as well as the best peach blossom brewing. Even those who don't drink alcohol, there are also excellent clear spring water. This water, after our treatment, let alone how sweet it is. I'm not bragging, the guests are in other places You can’t drink such good water anywhere else!”

Su Yu listened to this woman's hard-working sales, and couldn't help becoming a little interested. It happened that it was getting late at this time, so he said: "Then send all the delicious food and drink from your house, as long as the food is good, no matter the price .”

"The guest is grand!" The woman was even more happy from ear to ear, "I'm going to prepare now." She turned around hurriedly, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned back, seriously telling, "I almost forgot That's it—guests must not touch the little bugs here, most of them are highly poisonous, and you may die if you are not careful."

As she spoke, she casually pointed to a gray-brown, ant-like bug that slowly crawled past by the door: "Be more careful when walking, if you step on a 'bad foot bug', let alone shoes, you can't even keep your feet."

A group of people who said something were amazed.

Only then did Zhuang Yunzhou understand why the population of Luosun Village is so withered while guarding the Jieshi Forest. It is no wonder that the village can develop with such vicious insects and ants as its neighbors!

A group of people went back to the house to freshen up and rest without mentioning it.Half an hour later, the woman neatly arranged a table of meals, followed by the owner of the house, holding a sealed jar in one hand, his dark skin looked honest and dull.

A group of people are looking forward to the legendary Peach Blossom Clan's good craftsmanship, especially the lively Silence with bright eyes, looking like they can't wait.

The woman put the last dish on the table, and put a blue and white porcelain bowl in front of everyone: "In our place, it's most appropriate to use a bowl of spring water before eating. Guests should try it?"

Fengzhao laughed: "Then let's try it!"

"Alas!" The woman quickly opened the jar, poured water into the bowls in front of everyone one by one, and said as she added: "Generally, people who come here are going to enter the Jieshi Forest. If the guests are the same, you need to put some water on them." Spring water? Our water quenches thirst better than ordinary water!"

"Also, the Jieshi Forest is full of poisonous substances. If you have a slight bite, you can wash it with our spring water, and you don't even need medicine!"

Hearing the woman's exaggerated and hard-working propaganda, Su Wu smiled, picked up the porcelain bowl and smiled: "If it's really so good, we have to pretend more." After speaking, he took a sip, and his eyes lit up slightly: "Clear and sweet, really good water!"

The woman got good reviews, smiled triumphantly, and then poured Zhuang Yunzhou: "I don't have to choose the water in my house!"

The gurgling spring water flows out from the mouth of the altar, making a slight and pleasant sound, but no one notices it. On the beam above Zhuang Yunzhou, a four-winged flatworm with the same color as the beam silently trembled its wings twice. , a drop of transparent water dripped from its lower abdomen, and it was falling into Zhuang Yunzhou's bowl, swaying with the spring water, without anyone noticing.

"Thank you shopkeeper." Zhuang Yunzhou said politely, then picked up the bowl and wanted to drink.

A trace of imperceptible tension flashed in the eyes of the dull male host who stood aside, and then disappeared quickly.

And just when the Zhuang Yunzhou bowl was about to be brought to his mouth, the calm and steady man sitting beside him who hadn't spoken a word suddenly jumped in his heart. He quickly closed his eyes, and a touch of yellow flashed across his eyes that no one saw.

His heart suddenly tightened, his calm muscles tensed, his leg retracted 'lightly', and just hit the leg of the chair he was sitting on, and there was a 'click' sound, and the chair leg broke, and he tilted his whole body, and slammed into Zhuang Yunzhou .

Caught off guard, he happened to hit Zhuang Yunzhou squarely, and the bowl in his hand flew out and landed on the ground with a crisp sound, and the water splashed all over the floor.

Stabilizing his figure and supporting Shen Wen, Zhuang Yunzhou asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

Shen Wen shook his head and said apologetically, "I'm fine. I just spilled Brother Zhuang's water."

Zhuang Yunzhou smiled casually: "What's the point? Shopkeeper, please bring me another bowl, and change the seat by the way."

Seeing that the guest did not blame the chair, the woman who was startled by this incident nodded hurriedly: "Oh! Immediately, immediately! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The woman looked back and saw the man standing still, the peach blossom branch at the back of his neck quietly stretched out, hitting the man's chest with a 'slap'.

A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the man who stood there with his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, but when he raised his head, he turned into an honest man shrinking his neck under the fierce eyes of the woman, and turned around in response. Walking towards the back hall: "Ah, ah, I'll go right away."

The woman turned around and smiled again: "Guest wait a moment."

"No problem." Zhuang Yunzhou waved his hand.

Shen Wen put the bowl in front of him in front of Zhuang Yunzhou: "Brother Zhuang, drink mine first, I'm not thirsty yet - I haven't touched this bowl yet."

Zhuang Yunzhou was about to say no, but in the blink of an eye, the apologetic expression on his calm face changed his mind to take it over: "Then it will be disrespectful."

With a calm smile, he exchanged a look with his younger brother without leaving a trace.He was silent for a moment, then his eyes sank slightly, but there was still a lively smile on his face, and he began to enliven the atmosphere——

"The water is really good. I'm even more curious about the peach blossom wine. Madam, it's time to serve the wine!"

Su Yu was never allowed to drink because of his frail health.However, after this period of time, Zhuang Yunzhou's physique has improved a lot, and when it comes to drinking, he can't help feeling itchy, and he also urges: "Yes, quickly serve the wine."

"Okay, here we go!" The woman picked up the wine jar and filled a bowl for everyone.

However, when it was Zhuang Yunzhou's turn, he was stopped by an outstretched hand beside him: "Less is better."

Zhuang Yunzhou turned his head, and saw Fang Qiling's teasing smile: "I don't want to accompany you to find some 'little fairy' in the middle of the night."

Zhuang Yunzhou turned around quickly, but his ears were blushing quietly, and he leaned over and whispered: "You remember clearly." It was all six or seven years ago.

"The memory is still fresh." Fang Qiling laughed softly, paused, and said, "Very cute."

Zhuang Yunzhou raised his head sharply, and was about to tell him to shut up, when he was hit by Shen Mo from behind, and threw himself into Fang Qiling's arms, and when he turned around, he saw a calm and rare yell——

"Silence you little bastard, put down the wine for me!"

Turning his head again, he saw Mo Mo with flushed cheeks holding the wine jar and taking a big sip, then staggered two steps, avoiding his brother's hand grabbing the wine, muttering, "No, just Don't let it go! Just... even if my brother... changes, becomes four... don't, don't let it go!"

Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling looked at each other and smiled at the same time—there is one more undrinkable!

While chasing his younger brother, Shen Wen slightly let go of his palm, a yellow bug wrapped in a thick source force landed on the ground, struggled for a while, and quickly crawled away.
