Chapter 10 Shuiyang City

Lin Zhihui and Jiang Yuan turned into their true bodies after leaving Nanjing. When he calmed down, he realized that there was actually a pool of green water in front of him. The green water was filled with veins and rolled up layers of petals, and some bubbles appeared from under the water from time to time. In the distance, a city can be seen floating on the water. They were standing on the shore, with drizzle still falling on their heads. Lin Zhihui sighed at the scene and asked, "Where is this?" "Shuiyang City, the neighboring city of Nanjing."

"So it turns out that Shuiyang City is indeed a city surrounded by water." Lin Zhihui looked at the city and saw that it was not too far away.

"Is the masked man in the Shuntian sect just now really Song Li?" Lin Zhihui knew Song Li and his appearance would not change much even if he didn't see her for three years, but he could only ask this for the sake of "disguise". "It's him." Jiang Yuan said. "Listen to what he said, since the purpose of killing Huo Qilin was not against me, it was to deliberately provoke civil strife in the Hengtian sect." Lin Zhihui could only guess that Song Li used Li Zining's jealousy to expel the first disciple from Hengtian. In the Tian sect, this can firstly arouse the public indignation of the new disciples and secondly, make them suspicious of each other whether other people have also committed fraud. Since then, internal strife has ceased to ignite spontaneously. Jiang Yuan looked at him with complicated eyes, and Lin Zhihui couldn't see clearly what was included in the middle, "That's right." Lin Zhihui thought that it was lucky that Jiang Yuan prevented the situation from getting worse that day, but it was just his vote. The look in his eyes made Lin Zhihui feel a sense of danger. If he made a rash guess, he might arouse suspicion. Alas, no matter what, who told him to be Lin Lu now.

The problem of Shi En has not been solved yet. Lin Zhihui knew what kind of person Shi En was before, but now he is imprisoned by his younger brother, but he doesn't know whether Song Li will really kill him. Back then, Song Li and Shi En En still has an old friend, but if Song Li has a little favor, he will not kill him.

Lin Zhifan quickly went over it in his mind again. Song Li has now secretly joined the Shuntian Sect. In their conversation, they talked about Song Kai. Song Kai and his son must have some leverage in Shi Yi's hands. If you think about it more deeply, it means that he has done something to let down the Hengtian Sect, but he has also made contributions to the Hengtian Sect, and You Yiyun has also rewarded him with Qingliang Pavilion. The problem of what is going on is becoming more and more complicated. Moreover, Shi Yi's change surprised Lin Zhifan the most. In the past, he was just a little follower who followed Shi En silently. Wherever Shi En went, he went. The relationship between the two brothers was really like glue and paint. In the past three years, what have Shi Yi and Shi En experienced? And you can't ask others about this kind of thing. If you ask, it will be exposed. Lin Zhifan regretted that he lived in seclusion in the mountains with his master and didn't come out to inquire about the situation outside. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Lin Lu who was still waiting for him at the inn. Today was only the third day, so he was not in a hurry. He thought about going to the inn to find Lin Lu on the fifth day.

Shuiyang City is surrounded by water. It took too much effort just now. If you want to cross over, you can only take a boat. Seeing that there is indeed an old man parking the boat on the shore, Lin Zhihui shouted, "Boatman, can I take a boat?" The old man seemed to have poor hearing, so Lin Zhihui shouted again. The old man forgot to come over here, and then said loudly, "What did you say?" Lin Zhihui salivated to moisten his throat because he shouted too loudly. Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it, and walked over He asked, "Old man, can I take the boat?" Although the smile only flashed for a moment, Lin Zhihui knew that he was being laughed at.

This time the old man finally heard clearly and said, "Okay, young man, do you want to go to Shuiyang City? Shuiyang City is very lively now." Lin Zhihui stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything happy happening in Shuiyang City?" ? "Lin Zhihui always feels that excitement is related to happy events, such as so-and-so getting married, so-and-so having a baby, etc. The old man's eyes moved to Lin Zhihui, "Yes, the Lord of Shuiyang City is getting married for three days, and today is the first day, so don't miss it." "But we are not familiar with him, can we drink his wedding wine?" Lin Zhihui asked. "The city lord is enthusiastic and entertains relatives and friends from all over the world. You two are so chic and suave. If you go to congratulate us, the city lord will definitely entertain you warmly." After saying this, the old man laughed happily again. "Then I'll trouble you, old man." Jiang Yuan said and walked straight onto the boat, and Lin Zhihui followed suit.

Shuiyang City was originally a small city, but its people were frugal and lived by instinct, which made the small city reborn and prosperous. In the southern part of Tianxuan Country, besides Nanjing City, Shuiyang City was the most famous. Lin Zhifan was curious about how people here made their fortunes in the shortest time. Walking on the street, people came and went, and everyone seemed to walk faster than people outside. Next to her was an elderly woman who was leaning on a cane. Although her movements were not as agile as those of young people, she was not willing to lag behind. She must have been in a hurry or her eyesight was not very good. She didn't see a small pit in front of her and was about to step down. Lin Zhifan hurried over to support her and said, "Grandma, be careful of the road!" The old woman looked down at the uneven road and said, "Thank you." Lin Zhifan asked, "Grandma, do you have something urgent to do? Why are you walking so fast?" The old woman looked at him and smiled, "You are from outside the city, right?" Lin Zhifan replied, "Yes." The old woman went on to say, "This is the custom in our city. We don't waste time walking. Over time, everyone is used to walking so fast." "Oh, so that's the case. Then grandma, please pay attention to the road." The old woman nodded and hurried away again.

Then seeing Jiang Yuan staring at him seriously again, Lin Zhihui immediately entered a state of reflection, and the answer immediately flashed in his mind. Shuiyang City is a well-known city. Normal people will have heard about some of the rules in the city. But just now I saw my mother-in-law almost falling down, so I went to help her, but I was so careless that I forgot my identity. Lin Zhihui couldn't think of an explanation, so he said, "Respecting the elderly and loving them is my principle. Senior brother, don't think too much about it." Then he walked forward alone, unable to raise the courage to look at him again. Jiang Yuan didn't take it seriously. He grabbed his arm and blocked his way and said, "Junior brother is a noble and virtuous person, which is very commendable. But he doesn't know the rules of Shuiyang City. Isn't he a little ignorant?" Lin Zhihui looked at him again and said with burning eyes. , "It makes me laugh, senior brother, I am so ignorant." Jiang Yuan's eyes were burning like fire. Lin Zhihui felt his body getting hot every time he came closer. He wanted to escape, but Jiang Yuan still held on to him tightly. His arms refused to relax. His eyes were both pitiful and angry, regretful and expectant. Lin Zhihui had to look at such complicated eyes. The two stared at each other for a while, and even pedestrians passing by would inevitably slow down and cast curious glances. After Lin Zhihui noticed it, he opened his hand and walked forward. Jiang Yuan didn't stop him anymore, and the two of them walked on without speaking.

Then when they arrived at the Shuiyang City mansion, even though they knew nothing about the situation in Shuiyang City, what happened just now was a lesson to Lin Zhihui, so he decided to stop talking and follow Jiang Yuan, acting like a mute. Jiang Yuan took off a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to the guard at the door. Seeing such a noble gift, the guard became respectful and humble. He wrote down the name of the jade and the giver, and then gave the invitation. The mansion was so busy that it was difficult to find the city lord. Lin Zhihui followed Jiang Yuan to the central hall. Sitting in the middle hall was a handsome Ruyi Lang, who was exchanging cups with others. It seemed that he should be the city lord. Jiang Yuan and Lin Zhihui came forward to pay their respects, "Jiang Yuan and Lin Lu from the Hengtian Sect congratulated the city lord on his wedding." The city lord had a youthful appearance and was about the same age as Jiang Yuan and the others. Hearing the figures from the Hengtian Sect, they quickly turned around and saw Jiang Yuan even said with a smile, "You two, please take a seat." Perhaps because Jiang Yuan was more popular, the city lord talked with him for a long time, and then asked, "This is Lin Lu, the new disciple of this class. Right?" Lin Zhihui was curious about how he knew it, but was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he nodded in reply.

The city lord smiled and said, "You are indeed full of vigor and vitality. You have excelled at such a young age. You must practice well with Brother Jiang in the future. You have great potential."

This seems to mean that You Yiyun is air. But he doesn't know who has better magic skills between You Yiyun and Jiang Yuan.

"It depends on his wishes. I won't force anyone." Jiang Yuan said, avoiding Lin Zhifan's gaze.

The city lord was surprised, "How could that be? Brother Jiang has a good temper and powerful magic. How many people want to practice with you but can't?" His tone sounded a little dissatisfied. Lin Zhifan sat in his seat without saying anything. The city lord then changed the subject and said, "How is the master's health recently? Do you still like to travel?"

"yes."

"Brother Jiang is still as capable as ever. You were the most favored disciple of the master back then."

"No, I admire you very much. After just two years of learning, you have become the city lord and the development of Shuiyang City is also booming."

The city lord laughed again, "No matter what, it is still not as good as Brother Jiang's ability to develop the Hengtian Sect into one of the three major sects in Tianxuan Kingdom today. In this world, I only obey you, Brother Jiang."

The two of them drank and laughed, talking about Lin Zhihui's curious question. Wasn't the Hengtian Sect in the past the largest sect in Tianxuan Kingdom? Was it once... Lin Zhihui didn't dare to think about it. If it was true, That must be related to the Shuntian faction. How did Jiang Yuan do it? Lin Zhihui, who didn't want to remember back then, wanted to know the answer immediately. No matter how he guessed, he could think of how Jiang Yuan had gone all the way. He had suffered so much and was so tired, who could help him. After Lin Zhihui calmed down, he poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. These two people should be old friends, but Lin Zhihui has never met this old friend, and besides Lin Zhihui, who has he talked and laughed with so much in Jiangyuan? It doesn't seem simple to be the lord of a city at such a young age, and to be so close to Jiang Yuan. Lin Zhihui doesn't drink much at ordinary times. Although the ancients said that a drink can relieve a thousand sorrows, but after waking up, he still clearly remembers every sorrow. But Lin Zhihui really wanted to get drunk today. Taking advantage of such a good day as the city lord's wedding and having so much fine wine, it was indeed a God-given opportunity for Lin Zhihui.

Lin Zhihui drank two jars first and was not drunk. Jiang Yuan looked at him in surprise and told him to stop drinking. Lin Zhihui refused and drank another two jars, but his consciousness was still in his mind. It was too difficult to get drunk. But he couldn't give up halfway. Lin Zhihui drank another bottle before falling asleep.
