Without any warning, an autumn rain washed every corner of the capital. Raindrops formed strings and fell from the eaves. Some tiny rumors were passed into the capital from the distant Liangzhou.
It is said that a few days ago, a powerful enemy attacked Liangzhou, but was completely annihilated by Yuchi Feng, the fifth son of Yuchi Gongshan. It is also said that the zombies were dug out by the mountain people of Liangzhou, but fortunately, there was the Yuchi Army, which wiped them all out!
No one cares whether they are enemies or zombies. As long as they are eliminated by the Yuchi Army, whether they are enemies or zombies, they will only become a side dish for the people of the capital to eat after dinner.
Inside the secret realm, Lian Youyou was lying on the ground, Lin Tingjun was lying on the ground, He Shiqi was lying on the ground, Heiyan was also lying on the ground, even Fat Buddha Guanye, Sanniang, Yun Xi Yun Yao and Zi Gu were all lying on the grass in front of their respective huts, watching the raindrops crackling on the transparent dome of the secret realm. The water slid down the round dome, making the outside world even more hazy.
Everyone was so tired that they collapsed on the ground and didn't want to get up. They had been lying like this for several days. At first, everyone lay in their own beds. But it seemed that lying alone was not as good as lying in a group. One person lying in bed was like a corpse, so everyone crawled out one by one like insects stuck to the bed, and then lay on the grass and chatted with each other.
Especially Yunxi, he can still look at Sanniang.
This is a tiredness that comes from the bones. I don't want to leave the bed, I don't want to go out into the world again. I just want to spend a few days in this quiet world, isolated from the world, just like Lin Tingjun in the past, who would lie down no matter where he went.
These days, Yao Guang and Xiao Lujie became everyone's waiters. When it was time for dinner, they would bring in the food, and then everyone would start eating right where they were without moving. The entire Jiumen seemed to be camping in a secret place.
"Thank you all for your hard work this time!" Lord Yao Guang came back from the morning court today, extremely happy with his big belly. "The emperor commended us and rewarded each of us with a gold ingot! Hahaha—" Lord Yao Guang smiled with his fat eyes curved.
But nobody was excited. Everyone was lying on the floor, reading, playing chess, or eating. Money? They didn't care. They were stingy.
The miser now hides under the black horse's belly every day, as if seeking shelter and not wanting to be plucked.
Seeing that no one was interested, Yao Guang also stood there awkwardly, as if everyone viewed money as dirt and he was the only money-grubber: "Uh... then I won't disturb you all to rest..." Yao Guang left in a huff. Why did he feel like he had asked for trouble today
Everyone was still lying dead, this battle could be recorded in the history of the Nine Gates. Since they entered the Nine Gates, even the oldest Sanniang had never experienced such a battle, a battle with a legendary beast.
Now, they know that the legendary beasts are not really mythical beasts, but they were made into mythical beasts in order to make humans fear them and stay away from them, because they are very dangerous.
"Why didn't you bring your little disciple back?" Lin Tingjun put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Lian Youyou was lying not far away, with the green grass slightly covering her face: "Aren't you jealous?"
He Shiqi, who was also dozing off while lying not far away on the other side, twitched his eyebrows. Lian Youyou knew everything.
"Hmph..." Lin Tingjun chuckled from his throat, but did not say anything else. He could hear the slightest hint of displeasure in Lian Youyou's words about them, the men, rejecting other men.
Lian Youyou did not let Yuchi Shaolang come back because she felt that Shaolang should continue to train with Yuchi Feng, and it was not easy to find such an upright teacher.
She was also worried that if Young Wolf came back with her, he might be killed by these men. She had to protect her precious apprentice herself.
"Mr. Hong should be well behaved for a long time." Lin Tingjun said after a long while.
"Hmph..." This time, Lian Youyou also chuckled and said nothing. That night, she just drank a pot of tea with Gongzi Hong and said nothing.
However, she could feel the unwillingness and tension coming from Gongzi Hong. The repeated setbacks had beaten Gongzi Hong to pieces. He was almost pressed to the ground by Lian Youyou. He was alive, but Lian Youyou was too lazy to take his life.
This sense of deterrence made Gongzi Hong, at least in the short term, not dare to provoke Jiumen and Lian Youyou again.
"When will this rain stop?" Sanniang couldn't lie still any longer. "I want to go buy some rouge."
"Me too!" Yun Yao couldn't lie still any longer and sat up, "I want to go buy new clothes!"
“Amitabha—” Fat Buddha also sat up, “I also want to talk to the host about this Taotie.”
"Sister Youyou, this rain has nothing to do with the rain you had in Liangzhou, right?" Little Lettuce asked Lian Youyou a little nervously, "Will we lose our memories if we go out?"
"Of course not, little fool." Yunxi stood up and patted Little Lettuce on the back of his head. "Don't worry, this rain has nothing to do with you, Boss. It's just a normal autumn rain. However, autumn rain is gloomy and cool, which makes people uncomfortable."
"Winter is almost here, time flies so fast..." Grandpa Coffin sat cross-legged and laughed.
Zi Gu enviously watched everyone pulling weeds. He couldn't go out. He also wanted to eat roast duck, but he would scare people if he went out like this. Although there were rumors that zombies were dug out in Liangzhou, the real zombies were actually right next to them.
"Pah pah pah pah." Footprints appeared in the sky above the secret realm, as if someone was coming in a hurry.
"It's so annoying. I come to see you again." Heiyan turned his face away with disgust and went to sleep with a gloomy face.
He Shiqi closed his eyes and frowned. It was so hard to get rid of the little wolf in front of him, but the neighbor next door came again. And he was always by Lian Youyou's side.
Everyone seemed to smell something and exchanged glances for a while. Sanniang looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "Is anyone hungry and want to eat roast duck?"
"I!"
"I-"
"And me!"
Everyone stood up in unison, and then followed Sanniang towards the gate to the secret realm.
"I'll go too." He Shiqi also stood up. Out of sight, out of mind. It would be better to leave than to stay here and be despised by Lian Youyou, and let Lian Youyou think he was generous.
Lin Tingjun smiled lightly, stood up, and walked into his own little house. He obviously had no intention of disturbing Lian Youyou's meeting with the visitor.
"Tsk. You're all pretending." Hei Yan said with disdain, still lying there with his eyes half closed pretending to sleep. He had no intention of leaving. If they really left, would that guy get close to Lian Youyou? Wishful thinking. He didn't mind being the bad guy himself.
"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the door. Everyone left the secret realm with a smile. The master of the next door, Fu, was definitely not looking for them. (To be continued)
