Chapter 197 Pretty Sister
Twelve Fengdu Hercules messengers, with the magical power of moving mountains.
The small mountain did not last for more than half a cup of tea, and along with the Shuntian Temple on it, it turned into meaningless powder.
Jiang Lin didn't look at it any further. After the twelve Fengdu Hercules envoys bowed and saluted, he left the low mountain.
It was still night, but already late at night, and Jiang Lin and his companion used their magical powers to shrink the distance and returned to Yangzhou Prefecture.
"Master, do you have time now? I want to explain the previous misunderstanding."
On the street in Yangzhou Prefecture, Jiang Lin was walking in front, and Tu Shanyu, who was not far behind him, asked softly.
"No need."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin turned around and looked at Tu Shanyu, saying, "I know you have no bad intentions, but I have a question."
It can be seen that the young master of Tushan is not a bad person, and Jiang Lin's inexplicable sense of trust also makes him a little confused.
He could also roughly guess what the Dragon God's message and the fox's blocking of the road were all about.
But what Jiang Lin was puzzled about now was that the elders of Tushan were trying their best to "slander" their young master in front of him.
And why did this young master choose to come to me despite the opposition of the elders?
This is what Jiang Lin thought and asked.
Faced with this question, Tu Shanyu remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Lin did not ask any further questions, but continued walking forward, waiting for Tu Shanyu's answer.
It was not until he reached the door of an inn that Jiang Lin heard Tu Shanyu speaking behind him.
"I am very happy that the Taoist priest can put aside the past grudges without listening to my explanation."
Tu Shanyu said softly: "But I am an unsatisfied person. I cannot give you an answer to your question at this moment."
"If you don't mind, please allow me to accompany you for a while. No matter what you want to do, you don't have to worry about me."
"I don't know, is it okay?"
When Jiang Lin heard this, he actually heard a hint of pleading in the words of this dignified Young Master of Tushan.
This made him frown slightly, and then he seemed to remember something and suddenly asked: "Did I forget something?"
Hearing this, Tu Shanyu's expression changed and he said with a smile, "Maybe, it seems that the Taoist priest will also need some time to remember it?"
Jiang Lin didn't answer, but walked into the inn.
"It is quite inconvenient for men and women to travel together. If I have done anything reckless without intending to, please warn me, Taoist Tushan."
After saying that, he walked into the inn and asked the waiter to open two rooms.
Tu Shanyu couldn't help laughing after hearing his words and walked in briskly.
In the void, the elder looked at the somewhat worthless back of his young master and closed his eyes with increasing despair.
…………
Silent all night.
The next morning, Jiang Lin got up early, but did not leave the room. Instead, he began to think carefully.
In fact, at this point, the case of the Old Dragon King of Slender West Lake can be said to have been settled.
At least that's what happens on the surface. Viper is dead, and the conspirators, the Mother Dragon and the Daughter Dragon, have been brought to justice. What the Celestial Beings did has nothing to do with Jiang Lin, so naturally the big guys in heaven will handle it.
It seems that the case can be put on file and sealed. The best that can happen is that Jiang Lin will add another table to end it.
But that's all it looks like.
This matter obviously does not end here.
Let’s not talk about the struggle in the sky, let’s just talk about the origin of the viper. Is a useless thing that can’t even withstand a single move from Jiang Lin really qualified to be the white glove of the Celestial Beings?
There is a layer between the two.
A layer called evil, belonging to the white gloves of the celestial system.
This is also Jiang Lin’s ultimate goal.
But the problem now is that, in fact, the clues have been broken.
The viper python died, and although Tushan Yu used the Tushan secret method to explore some of the other party's memories, under the restriction of the true spirit, he could not see who the "sacred" person behind the viper python was.
Needless to say, the Mother and Daughter of Dragons are just two tools.
The Dragon Mother might know something more, but it was limited to the manipulation of the divine seal. That divine seal had long been sent to heaven by Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin had some guesses about the mastermind behind the scenes.
This approach of taking advantage of the cracks in the heart, cultivating white gloves in public, and hiding behind the scenes is really familiar.
"I am very happy..."
Jiang Lin muttered to himself, chewing on the word, old friend.
Almost as soon as he uttered this term, Jiang Lin had already decided to go around the world to cause trouble for Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion.
Although it was just a suspicion, to the evil, let alone suspicion, even if the other party sneezed and drowned an ant, it would be a sin.
Even if Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion did nothing, its existence itself is a sin.
So, without any hesitation, Jiang Lin was ready to take action against Lord Du Xin Ruyi.
This evil organization is hard to find, but if you want to find it, there is always a way.
The city god, land god, and mountain god can all be Jiang Lin's eyes and ears. If that doesn't work, divination can also be used.
As long as you get a little clue and follow the clues, you will find the big one sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin was about to take action, but the next moment he looked towards the door of the room.
"Master? Please open the door."
Outside the door, came Tu Shanyu's voice, and...
The aroma of meat, vegetables and rice.
Jiang Lin's nose twitched and he stood up almost faster than his brain.
'Squeak...'
After the door was opened, Tu Shanyu stood in front of Jiang Lin holding a tray and raised the tray to Jiang Lin as if offering a treasure.
"Master, would you like to eat something?"
"Just don't despise my craftsmanship."
Jiang Lin subconsciously looked at the tray, and then nodded slowly.
The two sat down and there were three more dishes on the table.
One meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup. It looks simple but is very exquisite.
It can be seen that Tu Shanyu can really cook, and her cooking is delicious.
It can even be said that it is better than what the old chef in the Prince Qin's Palace makes.
At the beginning, Jiang Lin was a little reserved, but soon he started to eat with gusto, and his chopsticks hardly stopped moving.
Tu Shanyu watched him from the side, with smiles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. For a cook, this way of eating is more effective than any praise.
"It seems that the Taoist priest's taste is similar to that of my old man."
Tu Shanyu said with some emotion: "I learned my cooking skills by cooking for the old man."
Jiang Lin raised his head in the midst of his busy schedule and chewed without saying anything.
But there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if asking: Is the old man you are talking about the one I know?
Tu Shanyu smiled and nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"I actually have another name."
Tu Shanyu tilted her head with a smile and asked, "Master, do you want to guess?"
Without waiting for Jiang Lin to answer, Tu Shanyu said, "Si Yu, another name of my slave."
"Chew, chew...? Chew, chew...! ! "
Jiang Lin still didn't say anything, and he didn't stop talking, but he showed shock.
Seeing that, Tu Shanyu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't tell anyone else. If I want to use this name openly, I have to wait until I get married."
"It's somewhat against the rules to use it now."
Jiang Lin tilted his head back slightly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you telling me this?"
They look like just two different surnames, but the meanings they contain are very different.
"Um……"
Tu Shanyu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Trust?"
Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Tu Shanyu deeply.
The two of them did not notice that in the void, the eyes of a certain Tushan elder were almost spewing fire.
Jiang Lin did not continue this topic, but just finished all the food carefully, which made Tu Shanyu more satisfied.
After eating, the two left the inn, still walking one after the other.
"Master, what are you going to do next?" Tu Shanyu asked with a smile.
"Go ask the soil..."
"It's this! Here it is!"
Before Jiang Lin could finish his words, he was interrupted by a noisy, childish voice.
The next moment, under the puzzled gazes of Jiang Lin and Tu Shanyu, a group of children surrounded them.
It can be seen that they are all children of nearby residents. Their faces are rosy and tender, revealing a unique youthful vigor.
The leader was a fat boy with his chest puffed out and his belly protruding. He was carrying a big bundle of straw filled with candied haws.
Behind this boy was a group of children of the same age. Almost everyone of them had a string of candied haws in their hands. The ones who had nothing in their hands were licking the sugar stains on their lips, staring eagerly at the straw bundle full of candied haws in the eldest brother's hand.
"is it him?"
"It's him, it's him!"
"That's the guy that pretty sister is talking about!"
A group of children surrounded Jiang Lin, looking at him with bright eyes and talking to him one after another.
"Stop!"
The fat boy in the lead raised his hand and shouted, looking quite majestic.
Seeing that his "little brothers" were silent, the fat boy nodded in satisfaction, carried the grass bundle to Jiang Lin, looked up and said, "Here you go!"
As he spoke, he loosened his clenched, chubby fists.
Inside was a crumpled paper roll.
"Is this for me?"
Jiang Lin squatted down, looked at the fat boy, and asked, "Who asked you to give this to me?"
After that, he pointed to the snack shop next to him and said, "If you agree, I will give each of you a bag of sugar-coated fruit."
Sugar-coated fruit!
One pack!
All the children's eyes lit up.
But the fat boy gritted his teeth, shook his head and said: "I am entrusted by others, I am loyal...loyal..."
"A loyal person's business?"
Tu Shanyu reminded quietly.
"Yes! It's our duty to be loyal to the man we are working for! We have already received one reward, we can't have the best of both worlds!"
In fact, your little brother has just been exposed...
Tu Shanyu blinked. A child just said, "The person that pretty sister mentioned." It was obviously referring to Jiang Lin.
"But since you're so generous, I can tell you something."
The fat boy said generously, with a smug smile, "I asked the pretty sister in advance and knew what I could say and what I couldn't say."
"Then please tell me about it?"
Jiang Lin stood up, and Tu Shanyu, who was standing next to him, just came out of the snack shop with a bunch of sugar-coated fruits wrapped in oil paper in her hand.
The fat boy swallowed his saliva and then said, "It was a pretty sister. We were playing hopscotch just now. The pretty sister treated us to candied haws and told us to give it to a brother in a black coat."
"My sister said that my brother's baby is also very pretty."
The fat boy pointed around and said, "You are the best looking person on this street!"
Jiang Lin smiled and narrowed his eyes, then asked, "What does that pretty sister look like?"
The fat boy shook his head in distress. It was obvious that this question was beyond the knowledge of his little brain.
Finally, he raised his hand, pointed at Tu Shanyu, and said, "She's prettier than this sister!"
Tu Shanyu's face suddenly darkened three shades.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Lin coughed twice, took the oil paper bag from Tu Shanyu's hand, replaced the paper roll, and said, "Okay, go play."
The fat boy looked like a victorious general, carrying a bundle of straw in one hand and an oil-paper bag in the other, and left surrounded by a group of children.
"Children's words are without restraint..."
Jiang Lin looked at the silent Tu Shanyu and chuckled, "It's probably because of preconceived notions. After all, it was the pretty sister they mentioned who invited them to eat the candied haws first."
"Master, what you mean is that someone has surpassed me by using a few strings of candied haws?"
Tu Shanyu's voice sounded faintly.
Jiang Lin blinked helplessly. Is this what he meant?
It seems that no matter how gentle and graceful a woman is, her appearance is a point that cannot be touched.
Jiang Lin sighed in his heart and casually opened the scroll in his hand.
This is a small piece of paper, only about the length of a palm and two fingers wide.
Tu Shanyu looked over and saw a string of beautiful small characters on it, each stroke of which was full of tenderness.
"It is indeed the work of a beauty."
Tu Shanyu's tone was calm, but one could tell that he was not convinced.
Jiang Lin didn't think too much about it. He just read out the words above. There were not many, just five: "Northwest, Benshan."
Stupid mountain?
Jiang Lin recalled and confirmed that he had never heard of such a mountain name.
"Could it be that the pretty sister invited the Taoist priest to meet her at this so-called Benshan Mountain?"
Tu Shanyu asked with a smile.
Jiang Lin didn't say anything, but looked to the northwest, and said thoughtfully: "There was nothing on those children just now."
"Ah."
Tushan Yu also put away his thoughts and said seriously: "I have also used Tushan's secret method to check them. They are not contaminated with any aura. They are just a group of ordinary children."
"Does the Taoist have any idea?"
Hearing this, Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Among the women I know, none of them would be so devious."
It seems that this little brother knows a lot of women?
Tushan language focuses on the strange.
"Then Taoist priest, do you want to go and take a look? This so-called stupid mountain."
"Whether it is an enemy or a friend, whether it is good intention or bad intention, it is difficult to just guess."
Jiang Lin smiled and nodded, looked at the note in his hand, and said, "Whether it's a letter of challenge or something else, since there is such a thing, I have to go and take a look."
The clues on my side had just been cut off, and when I was about to use a crude method to investigate bit by bit, I suddenly received a note like this, which clearly pointed in a certain direction.
Even if it means walking into a trap, Jiang Lin would choose to go and take a look.
"I think I have quite a bit of strength. If it really is a jar, I will just smash it."
…………
To the northwest of Yangzhou Prefecture, after leaving the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture, there is a county town called "Dingfeng".
Basically, most of the people in Dingfeng County live off the mountains.
“Is this what they call a stupid mountain?”
Tu Shanyu raised his head, looked at the mountains in front of him that were already turning a little withered and yellow, and squinted his eyes.
The Feng Shui of this mountain is not very good. It is neither high nor low, and not very steep, but it is not as flat as the ground. It is just an ordinary mountain.
"Master, why do you think this mountain should be named like this?"
Tu Shanyu looked curiously at Jiang Lin who was also looking at the mountains beside him.
"I am curious too."
Jiang Lin said this and looked not far away.
This place is already at the foot of the mountain. There is a thatched hut not far away with a sign hanging outside with a big word "Tea" on it.
"Dr. Tea, two bowls of tea."
Jiang Lin and Tu Shanyu walked in, sat down and greeted them.
At this moment, Tu Shanyu tugged at Jiang Lin's sleeve, motioning him to look around.
Jiang Lin then discovered that there were quite a few people in the straw hut. This was not surprising, but what was strange was.
Although the busy farming season had passed, every one of these people was carrying farm tools.
There were even objects like hammers and dustpans, and each of them had a more or less indignant look on their face.
What is this going to do?
