Li Sui carried Zhu Yanyin all the way back to the bedroom.
Zhu Xinxin was still standing in the courtyard. He was startled when he saw the devilish man trying to eat people. He instinctively wanted to call for protection. But after a closer look, his dear cousin seemed to be walking quite consciously and did not show any reluctance, so he followed him to see what the two were doing.
As a result, he was almost hit on the nose by the door that was slamming towards him.
Zhu Xinxin: “…”
Terrible hospitality.
At this time, the sun had already set, and the light in the house was dim. Zhu Yanyin sat upright, with his back straight, with an attitude of "Ask whatever you want to know, I'm ready", and he was just about to put his hands on his knees.
Li Sui grabbed his face and asked, "Why did you go to find Liu Xiyang?"
"I want to see if he really has a problem." Zhu Yanyin answered hesitantly, "Since he was rescued, he has been basking in the sun, eating and sleeping every day. He looks like he is about to retire from society."
Tan Shuqiu had privately looked for Zhu Yanyin several times, saying that when he was traveling south with Cui Wei and others, they stayed in a farmer's yard one night. When he got up to relieve himself in the middle of the night, he accidentally heard some noise coming from Liu Xiyang's room next door. Curious, he hid in the dark and waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw a man in black leaving.
He thought it was something wrong with the Wulin League, and didn't think much about it. But later, until the Wanjing City murder case was solved, Liu Jiazhuang's confession was always "Since Liu Xiyang left, he has never contacted him again." Tan Shuqiu became suspicious and told Zhu Yanyin about it, and Zhu Yanyin told Li Sui.
Li Sui said: "I already said at the time that I would send someone to keep an eye on them."
"But what if he has been abandoned?" Zhu Yanyin continued to mumble, "Although Liu Xiyang is just a small shrimp, there is no guarantee that he can catch a fish. I will look for him a few more times in public. If the news spreads, if there is really a ghost behind it, he will definitely take action."
Li Sui's plan was similar to this, but he intended to keep Liu Xiyang first, and send Lan Yan to contact him when he was needed in the future. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yanyin acted on his own initiative without saying anything, and suddenly ran off to chat with someone for the whole afternoon. Thinking of this, Li Sui's strength increased by half a point, but only half a point, after all, the rich young man in Jiangnan was precious, and he would cry if he used too much strength.
Zhu Yanyin said confidently: "Since we are all going to be in front of everyone, I will naturally dress as formally as possible, so that I can attract more gossip and discussion."
It sounds like a clear explanation, but Li Sui's face is still gloomy. He actually doesn't mind the plan being advanced, and he doesn't even mind Liu Xiyang at all - even if there is no Liu Xiyang, he has plenty of ways to deal with Chi Tian and his minions. So the question is, since he doesn't mind Liu Xiyang at all, then what is Li Gongzhu unhappy about at this moment
Zhu Yanyin rubbed his red face: "Are you angry?"
Li Sui said: "No."
"Then let's go eat."
"No."
As expected, he is a super powerful villain. He is not childish at all and is very mature.
Zhu Yanyin: "But I'm hungry."
Li Sui leaned back in his chair, looking a little irritated: "Go eat by yourself."
Zhu Yanyin said "Oh", stood up and walked out.
Li Sui's eyelids lifted unconsciously, but he didn't say anything.
Zhu Xinxin was still waiting outside anxiously. When she saw him come out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "What are you talking about? Why is it taking so long?"
"We just said three or four sentences. Why did it take so long?" Zhu Yanyin was calm and composed. He patted the wrinkles on his clothes, then leaned towards his cousin and said loudly, "Ah, I feel dizzy."
Zhu Xinxin was completely unprepared and didn't understand what this was all about. She could only remind her cousin that it was too exaggerated.
Zhu Yanyin had no professional performance spirit: "It's okay, it's almost okay."
The door was indeed opened.
Zhu Yanyin continued to lean on Zhu Xinxin, with his hands folded across his chest, one eye open and one eye closed, blatantly committing fraud.
Li Sui did not pick him up with one hand and ride out of the city as usual, but left the courtyard alone, like a cold, fast, black wind. Before the others could react, his shadow was gone.
Zhu Yanyin: “?”
Zhu Xinxin asked: "Can I ask you what is the significance of your acting?"
Zhu Yanyin said: "I am angry."
Zhu Xinxin was even more confused: "Why are you angry? What's your reason? It can't be because Palace Master Li left without you. Isn't this normal? We have nothing to do with him."
Zhu Yanyin: "Okay, stop talking."
Zhu Xinxin was very worried. How could I remain silent? I felt that your words were inconsistent again. Why not let the doctor at home take a look? Although Doctor Jiang is a good doctor, he is a quack after all. I think his method of dispensing medicine is really barbaric. Cutting tree bark is like scalping a person.
Zhu Yanyin: “…”
You are really good at using metaphors.
Li Sui walked out of the city.
He was not looking for Pan Jinhua, he just wanted to relax. After the warmth of the sunset faded, the wind gradually became colder, with a whistling sound hitting the ears, and when passing through some twisted canyons, there would be a low whimpering sound similar to sobbing.
Kicking Snow Black Horse seemed to be able to sense his master's mood and was always running forward with him, aimlessly. It rushed wherever there was wind and light, like an iron horse's hooves stepping on fallen leaves and puddles. The noise and movement were so loud that it frightened the insects in late autumn and made them spirited again, and they all crawled in all directions.
It didn't stop until it reached the deepest part of the mountain.
There was a pool of water here, shimmering and more lively than anywhere else. Li Sui lay on a thick pile of fallen leaves, resting his head on one arm, with the same moonlight reflected in his eyes.
On the way here, he actually understood what he wanted, but he did not feel the nervousness and joy that ordinary people feel when they first fall in love, not at all. There was only fatigue, fatigue that surged from the depths of his heart and every part of his body. He thought of many past events, as well as the upcoming life-and-death battle with Chi Tian.
Tianmenzi's martial arts were unrivaled in the world, and he was the master of all kinds of unique skills. Therefore, when he accepted disciples, he would pick martial arts prodigies that were hard to come by in a century. He had become a martial arts master at the age of thirty, and in the remaining time, he had been selecting suitable children in every village and town in Dayu Country. It was not until he was fifty that he finally found two satisfactory disciples, one was Li Sui and the other was Chi Tian.
They are of similar age and have similar talents.
Li Sui had been practicing against Pan Jinhua's clumsy fellow for a year and had long been fed up with him. Now that Chi Tian had suddenly taken over, he finally felt like he had found a worthy opponent. Naturally, he became more excited about his study of martial arts. The two often practiced and fought against each other all night long, day after day, and they became so familiar with each other that it was as if they were watching another self.
Tianmenzi only mastered the technique when he was 30, but the two of them had already mastered it to 80% when they were 17. As for the Moon Devouring Evil Technique, it was originally an ancient secret book called "Release the Moon Magic Technique". The moves were mediocre. Li Sui found it from a pile of old books and practiced it just for fun. However, Chi Tian accidentally discovered another set of internal skills hidden in it - it would only appear when wet.
To achieve success by devouring others, let alone the Central Plains martial arts community that always advocates "righteousness first", any normal adult would at least hesitate, if not refuse outright. But Chi Tian is not a normal person, but a martial arts fanatic who is even more diligent in studying than Tianmenzi.
Li Sui and Chi Tian both wanted to defeat each other, but they could never defeat each other, just like a person can never defeat his own shadow.
Until Chi Tian secretly practiced the evil Moon-Eating Art.
At that time, Tianmenzi was seriously ill and was on his deathbed. Chitian often used the excuse of feeling unwell to stay deep in the snowfield. He even showed up three days late for his master's funeral.
After Tianmenzi passed away, Li Sui sent his ashes back to his hometown in Jinzhong, where he stayed for another half a year. When he returned to the snowy plains, what was waiting for him was the last duel between fellow apprentices.
Chi Tian had planned this in advance. He pretended to be injured and fell to the ground after 300 moves. When Li Sui came forward to check, he subdued him with his backhand. At midnight, the full moon was red, and Chi Tian's eyes were also red. With a ferocious smile like a beast after hunting, he looked at his junior brother who was severely injured in the chest and could not move: "You lose."
Blood flowed from the corner of Li Sui's mouth, and his voice was hoarse: "You are crazy."
"I'm not crazy." Chi Tian looked down at him, "I won."
Li Sui taunted: "Rely on sneak attacks?"
"Depend on this." Chi Tian pressed his vital point with his right palm. His expression seemed calm, but he couldn't suppress the trembling of excitement in his tone. "Soon, I will be able to defeat you forever."
The snowfield in midwinter was bone-chillingly cold and painful. When Li Sui described the Moon Devouring to Zhu Yanyin, he said, "My whole body felt like it was crushed by a heavy object, and my bones and muscles were broken." In fact, this was still considered gentle. If it were me that night, I would have felt that even my brain and bone marrow were being pulled out, and every tiny vein was picked out by an invisible silver needle, carrying the heat of blood, and then being blown into brittleness and stiffness by the cold wind.
Chi Tian stopped quickly: "Don't worry, I'm not greedy, I only want 20% of your strength."
Li Sui looked at him, his tone colder than Bing Ren: "Either you kill me now, or I will kill you in the future."
"I won't kill you easily, but I won't let you go either." Chi Tian adjusted his sleeves slowly. "Three years ago, I went to the south, not to buy property, but to find people. I found more than 30 people in total. After rounds of competitions, only these seven were left. Their aptitude is naturally not as good as yours and mine, but they are all martial arts geniuses."
He squatted down and felt Li Sui's pulse: "Since you want to die, why don't you do one more good deed before you die? Let them share your skills so that you can improve and be of use to me as soon as possible."
Li Sui half closed his eyes, as if he was not listening to him anymore.
Six of the seven were the six guardians of the Burning Fire Palace today. At that time, they were sought out by Chi Tian from all directions to practice the Moon Devouring Evil Skill together and to share Li Sui's internal strength.
Because Chi Tian had already injured Li Sui, everyone was unrestrained. One of the demon women even came close to look at this rare handsome face for a long time. "Hehe" laughed and said, "It's a pity to die. The leader might as well reward me so that I can live a happier life in the future and not waste this-"
Before she could finish her words, her neck was grabbed by a pair of cold hands. With a clear "crack" sound, a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth, and her neck was completely broken.
The incident came so suddenly that everyone at the scene didn't even have time to react. Li Sui had already thrown the fresh corpse in his hand to the ground, and he flew behind the net and headed towards the snow cliff.
Chi Tian's roar pierced through the snowy night like a branding iron, with unbelievable tearing anger: "Master taught you other kung fu!"
Li Sui's figure was like a kite with a broken string, being blown forward by the wind.
That was not actually kung fu, but a trick that was played to teach masters how to hide their inner strength and turn themselves into ordinary rough warriors. Just now, at the critical moment of life and death, he suddenly thought of this set of mental skills, and hid a part of his inner strength in a very short time, and took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, and jumped off the snow cliff with the last bit of his physical strength.
It was also a stroke of luck that Jiang Shenglin, who was cultivating snow lotus, was at the foot of the cliff. The miracle doctor waited for a whole year, and finally waited for the crystal petals to stretch out. Before he could even reach out his hand, a man fell from the sky.
"Bang"!
The flowers are gone.
Li Sui still remembered the shocked face in front of him when he first woke up: "I haven't treated you yet, how come you woke up on your own?"
It can be seen that he is indeed not a good doctor.
However, no matter how dishonest the doctor was, he had treated him for so many years and at least patched up his tattered body. Since the patient was really disobedient, Jiang Shenglin often said, "Those who don't follow the doctor's orders will die."
Li Sui didn't care about life and death.
Chi Tian only took away 20% of the internal force, not out of mercy, but because the Moon Devouring Evil Art had not yet been fully practiced. If he continued forcefully, he would probably hurt himself, so he just did a favor for the newly recruited guardian. But in recent years, the activities of the Burning Fire Hall have become more and more frequent, and more and more people have been killed. Chi Tian has been continuously devouring the internal force of other masters, and no one can tell what level his skills have reached.
Like evil spirits from the underworld.
Chi Tian didn't want to see Li Sui. He knew how badly his junior brother had been injured and had never had a good rest in these years. He was afraid that he had already run out of energy and would not be able to hold on for much longer. Moreover, he still hadn't figured out what the strange Kung Fu was when Li Sui escaped from the snow cliff. He hated Tianmenzi even more in his heart. They had clearly agreed to practice together, so why did he hide it from him in the end
Li Sui wanted to see Chi Tian, so he had to kill him in the shortest possible time. As long as he could kill Chi Tian, it didn't matter whether he lived or died.
But now, he doesn't want to die so much.
…
Late night.
Jiang Shenglin was sleeping soundly in bed when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He opened his eyes and saw a person in the dark, and his soul was half gone.
"ah!"
"What are you screaming about?" Li Sui was dissatisfied.
Jiang Shenglin sat up wrapped in the quilt, his heart beating like eight hundred standard bearers rushing to the north slope: "You sit by my bed like a ghost in the middle of the night, and you ask me what my name is?"
Li Sui got straight to the point: "How long can I live?"
Jiang Shenglin: “…”
Jiang Shenglin lit the candle at the bedside: "Why, do you think it's better to live now?"
Li Sui asked: "How many years?"
Jiang Shenglin said, "I told you before that if you follow the doctor's advice, you may be able to survive for ten or even twenty years. But you refused to listen and you have been struggling for so long... Never mind. I will try another method. Maybe I can still survive for ten years."
Li Sui asked again: "How many years do you think he can live?"
Jiang Shenglin looked at the direction of his finger and replied, "If there were no violent storms or earthquakes, this wooden wall would last at least two to three hundred years. It looks very solid."
Li Sui frowned.
Jiang Shenglin sat on the chair and continued, "If you are asking the people who live next door, I wish Second Young Master has no other problems except for his old brain injury. He can live for at least another fifty years."
Ten years and fifty years.
Li Sui said: "What if I also want to live another fifty years?"
Jiang Shenglin was frightened, you are quite bold.
At the same time, he was very puzzled. He saw you didn't take your life seriously before, but now you suddenly start to compare your life with that of Mr. Zhu. That kind of pampered young master, I guess he has 18 people following him. If you insist on making an analogy, you are a tattered sieve, and he is a solid white porcelain bowl, there is no way to compare them.
Li Sui said: "So you have no solution?"
Jiang Shenglin spread his hands and said, "If you ask me now, I'm sure I don't have it, but if you're willing to follow the doctor's advice and let me slowly think of some methods, you may have it in twenty years, or thirty years."
Li Sui insisted: "Fifty."
Jiang Shenglin: "Think about those nights when you were soaking in the cold pool of icy water. When you were bargaining with me, wasn't there a trace of it?"
Li Sui said: "No."
Jiang Shenglin: “?”
bad language.
In the end, he only agreed to twenty years. The prerequisite for the twenty years was that the patient followed the doctor's orders, no longer refused to take medicine, no longer took medicine indiscriminately, and no longer made the doctor angry.
Li Sui nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Shenglin took the opportunity to ask: "Why do you suddenly not want to die?"
Li Sui replied: "I found that life is actually very interesting."
Jiang Shenglin asked, "What does 'interesting' mean here?"
Li Sui: “A lot.”
Jiang Shenglin put on an awkward look and said, "If you don't explain clearly, it will be difficult for me to prescribe medicine for you."
Li Sui turned around and walked out: "Get lost."
Jiang Shenglin chased out and held the door frame: "At least say the same thing!" I'm really curious!
Li Sui said: "For example, I just crushed your three pots of silver flowers, which is very interesting."
Jiang Shenglin was struck by lightning: "Believe it or not, I will deduct one year from you!"
Li Sui curled his lips and left the yard.
Jiang Shenglin ran back to the temporary flowerbed at the back window and found that Ye Yinhua was blooming well and had not been crushed by the devil. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Sui did not go to Zhu Yanyin's residence again. He originally wanted to spend a night on the roof enjoying the breeze, but then he remembered Jiang Shenglin's medical advice a long time ago: "Get a good rest at night", so he returned to his bedroom.
The moonlight is bright in the courtyard.
The next morning.
As soon as the sun rose, Zhu Yanyin stood upright in front of the miracle doctor's door and knocked politely.
But no matter how polite one is, it is still an act of disturbing others' sleep. Jiang Shenglin had already been harassed by Li Sui and had not slept well in the second half of the night. Now he was woken up by Zhu Yanyin. He was so angry that he could not let out a breath for a long time.
No, I'm a doctor. I need to be gentle and easy-going.
Zhu Yanyin's topic still revolved around Li Sui. He asked, "Did Palace Master Li come back in the late night last night?"
Jiang Shenglin looked at the dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Did you also not sleep well because of his noise?"
Zhu Yanyin: “Hmmmm.”
Jiang Shenglin let the man into his room and said as he opened the window, "It's actually a good thing. Do you still remember that I didn't allow him to soak in the cold pond all the way?"
Zhu Yanyin said: "Remember, you said that soaking in the cold pond is only beneficial for a short time, but not for the long term."
"But he still soaks there often." Jiang Shenglin said, "He never cared about his own life or death. In order to kill Chi Tian as soon as possible, he was even willing to exchange his life. But I don't know what medicine he took last night, he suddenly figured it out, and actually came to ask me how to live longer. He even wants to live another fifty years."
Zhu Yanyin: “Really?”
"Yeah." Jiang Shenglin was puzzled, "It's like being possessed by evil spirits."
Zhu Yanyin lowered his head and drank two sips of overnight herbal tea. He thought it tasted quite good. "Besides wanting to live longer, did Palace Master Li say anything else?"
Jiang Shenglin thought, he is trying to compete with you in lifespan, but let’s not talk about this kind of thing, it sounds more like he is possessed by evil spirits.
So the miracle doctor answered firmly: "No, no."
"Yeah." Zhu Yanyin put down the teacup, "Then I'll go back."
He walked to the door and said, "I want to ask one more thing."
Jiang Shenglin gestured to him to go ahead and speak.
Zhu Yanyin asked: "What kind of girl does the miracle doctor like?"
Jiang Shenglin was stunned.
Zhu Yanyin remained calm: "I have many sisters at home."
Jiang Shenglin had never thought about this question before, so he felt a little dizzy: "This... gentle and considerate."
Zhu Yanyin spoke quickly: "What about Palace Master Li?"
Jiang Shenglin was still thinking about the requirements after being gentle and considerate, why did he suddenly change people? He thought of Li Sui's face that was always dark and fierce. Which girl could stand it, let alone the delicate Miss Jiangnan? So he said firmly: "He likes big breasts."
Zhu Yanyin: "Goodbye!"
…
Li Sui didn't sleep well, but at least he stayed in bed for two hours. He quickly wiped his face with cold water and heard someone knocking on the door.
Zhu Yanyin cleared his throat: "Are you up?"
Li Sui opened the door.
Zhu Yanyin changed into a light blue shirt, which looked fresher and better than yesterday. He asked again, "Are you free today?"
Li Sui: "What's the matter?"
Zhu Yanyin chuckled: "If you have nothing to do, why don't we go find Liu Xiyang together."
Seeing him smile, Li Sui also smiled: "Okay."
Neither of them mentioned yesterday's unpleasantness. Whether they had a tacit understanding or they had their own thoughts, they were in a good mood anyway.
Only Liu Xiyang from the next door next door: "… "
I can't tell the reason, it's just that I have to pee urgently.
