Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Dragons and phoenixes fought on Liangyi Island, overwhelming all the heroes and defeating Jin Dan. At this time, the news about Xuantian's selection craziness had not yet spread.

Zhong Wanling stepped ashore in the boat.

The tea shed owner who was keeping the horses was shocked when he saw Zhong Wanling covered in blood and his hair disheveled, but he quickly calmed down. After all, what was going on on the island ahead was an extremely dangerous competition between immortals. Broken hands and feet often happened, but it was a pity for such a beautiful and gentle beauty. If you are a good girl, how can you imitate other people's methods of fighting and killing?

The owner of the shed felt regretful and advised:"Girl, do you want to heal your wounds and freshen up before leaving? I won't charge you any money."

Zhong Wanling took the reins, handed a small piece of silver to the old man's hand, smiled, and then Without hesitation, he got on his horse and rode away.

The horse was galloping, and the galloping wind caressed and combed the long black and smooth hair, wiping away the blood stains on her face. Zhong Wanling felt refreshed, like a bird breaking out of its cage and returning to the woods. No one could restrain her anymore.

She wanted to go back to Laoshan quickly to tell her father the good news and her great-grandmother who was watching over her in heaven.

Zhong Wanling rushed back to Laoshan non-stop day and night. It was already the afternoon of the second day when he returned to Laoshan.

The weather was very good that day, the sun was bright and the wind was blowing, and the guards on the sentry tower were drowsy.

Zhong Wanling tied the horse to a place with abundant grass and water under the high wall as usual, touched the horse's face, and comforted you:"This trip has helped you again. You can rest here first, I will send someone to pick it up soon." You." Then, he jumped onto the high wall, nimbly dodged the drowsy guards, and flew all the way to the Bell Mansion along the eaves.

The streets under the eaves were decorated with lights, and many shacks had been erected near Wufu Building. Banquet tables and chairs were neatly arranged. Zhong Wanling knew that none of this was to greet her, but she didn't care. Zhong Wanling walked quickly towards the ancestral hall, stepping on the red lanterns with ribbons hanging in the Zhong Mansion. The guards at the Bell Mansion just thought it was a magpie flying by and bumping into the lantern, and they didn't notice it at all.

Zhong Wanling landed gracefully by the pine tree in front of the ancestral hall. Then she remembered that she was disheveled and disheveled, but she couldn't wait to go back to Magnolia Residence to freshen up. She took off her blood-stained gauze gown, pulled off a relatively clean strip of cloth, and tied her long, disheveled hair behind her head. The blood stains seeping into the gauze robe are like a string of red plums dotting the plain white skirt.

Zhong Wanling calmly walked across the threshold, walked around the screen wall, passed through the patio filled with lamp stands, and walked into the ancestral hall filled with memorial tablets. Looking at the memorial tablet of the old lady, he knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times.

She looked at the spiritual tablet illuminated by the everlasting lamp and candlelight, with tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, Wanlan did not disappoint you."

Zhong Wanling breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally say these words with a clear conscience. She stood up, and the somewhat hunchbacked old temple man stood at the door of the side room and looked at her quietly, contrary to his usual carefree attitude. With a lazy look, he sincerely raised his hands and saluted Zhong Wanling.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, understanding each other's words.

Zhong Wanling nodded towards the old temple Ding and was about to step out of the main hall, but the old temple Ding said softly:"Miss, please come to the ancestral hall alone the next day and night. Be sure to hide it from others. I have something important to tell you."

Zhong Wanling turned his head and looked at the old but energetic face of the old temple Ding. He looked up at the sky and said softly:"Let's do it today. Things will change after tomorrow."

Old temple Ding raised his eyes to look at Zhong Wanling in surprise, and replied humbly:"We are waiting for you, young lady."

Zhong Wanling strode out of the ancestral hall without looking back.

Earlier at Yulan Residence, Zhang Shiyin was furious.

Zhang Shiyin angrily tore up an invitation and smashed it into the face of the servant who sent the invitation, normally gentle. His image was completely gone and he yelled:"I won’t go! Go to hell! Get out of here! Are you waiting for me to sweep you out? Someone come! Get the broom! Get this slave dog out of here!"

The servant originally wanted to persuade him, but when he saw a group of servants rushing out with weapons in their hands, he had no choice but to hurriedly escape from Magnolia House.

The servant was sent by the Zou family to deliver invitations to the celebration banquet.

The Zou family had scheduled Zhong Jianan will throw a banquet for the whole city when he comes back tomorrow. Zhong Jianan has been away for four days since the day he sent Zhong Jianan and his party out of the city. Mr. Zou announced in public that he was going to throw a grand banquet. Invitations have been distributed all over the city, and many people have been invited from all over the city. Young guests came. The flowing water banquet was opened yesterday, and it was said that it would be held for seven consecutive days.

But everyone knew that Zhong Jianan forced his aunt to force Zhong Wanling to withdraw from the competition. Zhong Wanling was very kind to the servants of Magnolia House on weekdays. Well, the people in Magnolia Residence naturally hate this celebration banquet.

"But all the vegetables, fish and meat in the city have been packaged by Wufu Tower. If you don't go to the banquet, there will be no food tomorrow."The cook was worried.

"Don't go to that ghost to eat a meal if you want nothing!"A maid said angrily.

"right!"Another maid agreed,"I don't know what they think. A thief who steals other people's things by shady means has the nerve to put on such a big banquet. Who can show it off to! How shameless!"

The cook also hated it."Isn't it true? It's such a big deal that they even have a seven-day running water banquet. People who don't know better think that their family eats tofu rice! As a result, no one else has food to eat."

The other attendants also nodded.

A maid said worriedly:"Hey, Miss is so pitiful. She was so angry that she didn't leave the room for several days. I haven't even waited for you for the past two days, and I don't know how painful I feel."

"Yes, the lady has not touched the food delivered to the lady’s room these days. If this continues, I don’t know if the lady’s body will be able to bear it."

Zhang Shiyin listened in the back and his heart skipped a beat. In the past two days, the Zou family and his father-in-law's side had sent people to persuade her. Zhong Shujuan went to her parents' house to help again. He was too tired to cope with the situation and could not take care of Zhong Wan's funeral room. He went to pretend to be a"living person". Besides, he couldn't eat two portions of these meals. At this time, his beloved wife couldn't carry it clearly, so she went to the family to help Shi Laozi. Fortunately, it was too late Lan was not here, otherwise he would have to get angry.

Zhang Shiyin was really the leader of the two, so he could only pretend to be stern to stop the comments of the attendants."Okay, stop talking, there are no rules. Wan Lan, I will advise her, keep your mouths shut and stop talking nonsense."

At this time, Zhong Shujuan led two farmers in carrying poles and arranged for the guards to carry four large baskets to the kitchen.

Zhang Shiyin looked strange and asked hurriedly:"What are these? ?"

Zhong Shujuan wiped her sweat, put her hands on her hips and said,"Cooking."

Zhang Shiyin thought to himself, he could also tell that it was food."Where did it come from?

Zhong Shujuan said angrily:"You don't want to eat vegetables?" Of course I got it with great difficulty.

Zhang Shiyin frowned and said,"It's not from the Zou family, right?" Zhang Shiyin waved his hands repeatedly,"Throw it out, throw it out, we don't want the Zou family's things!""

Zhong Shujuan stamped her foot, held down the servant's hand that was about to be thrown out, and said angrily:"What are you doing! ? I finally got this from the bottom of the mountain after running all day! Not from the Zou family! Are you satisfied?"

Zhang Shiyin quickly pulled Zhong Shujuan to the table, helped her sit down, and coaxed her:"Oh, misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Don't be angry, madam."He turned around and winked at the servant next to him,"Hurry up and carry it in." Make a pot of herbal tea and boil some hot water. Madam wants to take a bath and change clothes."

The maids snickered and agreed, and went down to work.

Zhong Shujuan rolled her eyes at her husband and complained angrily:"Why are you like that girl Wan Lan, do you have such a hatred for the Rujun family? No matter how you say it, we are still blood relatives."

Zhang Shiyin said in his heart, don't you know why you are so angry? He said in a nice voice:"Oh, thank you for your hard work, madam. Madam, my hard work has brought me great results. I am a villain. I was wrong. I was wrong. Madam, you don’t remember the faults of villains."

Zhong Shujuan pursed her lips and smiled.

In fact, Zhong Shujuan didn't have much to say.

Zhong Shujuan originally thought that the Zou family was just talking, but when she actually saw the Zou family setting up a banquet yesterday, she couldn't help it and ran away She asked her sister-in-law Zou Shui'er to talk to her. Unexpectedly, Zou Shui'er welcomed her into the house and said:"Sister, it is a matter of honor for a good man to be elected to the Shangqing Sect. Of course, we must celebrate it properly."

Zhong Shujuan disagreed:"Then you can just celebrate in private, why bother with such a big pomp. People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. This will only bring criticism to good men."

"How big a deal is it? This is a big deal. Jianan is now a great contributor to both our Zou family and your Zhong family. It would be unfair if we didn't hold a big banquet to celebrate his success. Moreover, this couple is also a good thing worth celebrating. Provoking criticism? I think those who criticize have other ideas.

Zhong Shujuan said angrily:"But there's no need to set up a running water mat, right?" Now that all the vegetables and meat in the city have been collected by your family, the Zhong family can't even buy vegetables. How do you want other families to live? If you can't get rid of the pot, how can you expect others to talk things over?"

"The Zou family didn't ask them not to eat, they invited them to eat for free. Isn't it a good idea to let them get such a big deal? Zou Shui'er said displeasedly,"Besides, after your old lady died, wouldn't the whole city have running water mats for seven days?" Why, your Zhong family can handle it, but our Zou family can't? What's more, Jia Nan is still the eldest son and grandson of your Zhong family. This time it has become a major event for your family to honor your ancestors. Why can't you let it go?"

This is a pot that cannot be opened.

Zhong Shujuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and said:"You don't want to think about how the quota for a good man comes from? If Wan Lan hadn't given in, would he have had this opportunity? This matter has never been brought to light in the first place, but you still want to cause trouble in the whole city. You are harming him!"

Zou Shui'er was angry."Can't you see the light? The quota for good men is jointly designated by Xuanxing Pavilion and Bu Meng Pavilion. What should I give in to? Your girl's withdrawal from the competition is your family's business, what does it have to do with my family?! Huh, I guess it's your girl who's upset. People in the city say that you, Zhong Shujuan, are not as good as women, but I can't stand it. You can't even control your own girl!"

"you!"Zhong Shujuan didn't expect that Zou Shui'er could shamelessly say such confusing words.

Zou Shui'er didn't give Zhong Shujuan time to calm down, and slammed the three invitations in front of Zhong Shujuan and said:"Hey, these three invitations The invitation is for your family. It's time to take good care of your girl. If a girl is arrogant and domineering, if she refuses to obey the rules in your house, don't let her come out and embarrass herself. During the celebration banquet, tell her to be honest and not lose her temper. This will bring disgrace to your Zhong family."Then she asked her servants to send Zhong Shujuan out.

Zhong Shujuan left the Wufu Tower and looked at the three invitations in her hand, feeling sad.

She originally cried and begged her for help, but now she has to do it by herself. A hot face to a cold butt. She originally thought that this would save her nephew, her brother's family, and not harm her daughter. Who would have thought that it would turn into a situation where their mother and daughter break up, and her nephew's family will not be grateful. She tore up her daughter's trust and future with her own hands, only to be ridiculed and ridiculed in return.

Zhong Shujuan was miserable.

She tore up the invitation and ran down the mountain all night. She used her own money to buy a large amount of vegetables, eggs, meat and sent it up the mountain. Distributed to the people in the city.
