I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 99 Sugar Water
"Little Daoist Gu, why are you here? Or you'd better go."

Walking to the street, you can already see the widow's shop, Ximen Qing is a little awkward, trying to persuade Gu Yao to turn around.

"I won't affect you, I'm just curious about what kind of person Mrs. Wu is, who can make you fall in love with a high official." Gu Yao walked side by side with him, urging him to hurry up.

Ximenqing was a little reluctant: "It's not a question of whether you want to influence me or not. If you stand with me, it may affect Mrs. Wu."

"what?"

Gu Yao was stunned for a moment and understood his meaning: "Your official Ximen, you have to have confidence in yourself. Although you are not handsome, you are very rich."

"Okay, okay, I'll find a silk scarf to cover my face."

Seeing that Ximen Qing seemed to be nailed to the ground, Gu Yao found a piece of cloth helplessly and covered the lower half of his face.

"Is that all right?"

Ximen Qing looked at Gu Yao carefully, and tentatively said, "Why don't you cover your eyes too?"

"...don't go too far."

After some twists and turns, Ximen Qing found a fox mask on the side of the road and asked Gu Yao to put it on.

"I said little Daoist Gu, otherwise you can just go and do your own work, why did you follow?"

Even though Gu Yao blocked his face, Ximen Qing still sighed, very unhappy.

Like those licking dogs who love the goddess and are afraid that the goddess will be licked away by others.

"Official Ximen, I advise you not to go too far. Will I fight for widows with you?"

Ximen Qing muttered a few words, straightened his tiara and clothes, walked into the shop with his eight big white teeth in a cautious smile.

The name of this shop is Wu Yan Zhai, the decoration inside is elegant, and the fragrance of ink is wafting.

The store has two floors, and on the first floor there is only one maid who is sitting in a daze. Seeing Ximen Qing enter the room, she was sent to find Mrs. Wu as soon as she greeted her.

Gu Yao seized this opportunity to look inside the store.

In the center of the shop is a long wooden table with pen, ink, paper and inkstone and a half-painted picture of an eagle flying high. The eagle is lifelike, and the looming mountain peak is only half-painted.

Eight scrolls are hung on the surrounding white walls, which are four categories of flowers and birds, landscapes, bamboo orchids, and beauties. Unknown flowers and plants are planted in the corners, and light purple flowers are blooming at the moment.

Gu Yao took a closer look at the red seal and signature on the scroll on the wall. They were all the same "Useless Mountain Man" seal and the flamboyant "U Dan" signature.

"Young Master Ximen, you are here~"

A sweet, bone-numbing voice drifted over, and Gu Yao looked back, only to see a woman in a light blue dress walking down the stairs with her hands on her chest.

At this moment, a faint fragrance also floated into his nose.

This woman's head is full of black hair and she is wearing a bun, with a gold hairpin on the left side and a blue headband tied on the right side. Under the headband is a blue flower. Against the background of her fair and attractive skin, she looks extraordinarily graceful, luxurious and dignified. atmosphere.

"Mrs. Wu, this is bothering you again." Ximen Qing was upright, without squinting.

When Mrs. Wu walked to the stairs, Ximen Qing immediately greeted her and reached out to support her hand: "Last time I heard Madam explaining the mountains and rivers, and Qing felt a lot. Today I can't wait, and I want to come to ask for advice on the way of flowers and plants."

Mrs. Wu smiled slightly: "Is there any need for advice, we are just discussing and communicating, young master, who is this?"

She stretched out a tender white finger, and pointed lightly in Gu Yao's direction.

Ximen's blue eyes were almost hanging on her body, and he didn't even look at Gu Yao: "A servant of my family, don't worry about it, madam."

"Ah, that majestic man, the sword on his back is recognizable as a famous weapon, and he is actually a servant of your family?" The woman pretended to be surprised, and covered her red lips with her hand, "Ximen's family is really famous."

Ximenqing showed Bajie's smile: "Hehehe, what kind of famous weapon is that, madam, you are the famous weapon."

Gu Yao frowned, this woman is too sweet.

The scent was strong and lingering, as if it was drilling into his nose.

Look at Ximen Qing again, he held the woman's hand, he seemed to have lost his mind, he only knew how to be good, right, right.

"I don't know how to address you, young master?" At this moment, the woman pulled out her hand, walked over with lotus steps, and asked with a smile.

Gu Yao took a step back, lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "Vulgar warrior, Wu Song."

"Mr. Wu, don't be restrained, sit here, Mr. Ximen, you sit too."

Madam Wu asked the two to sit down softly, and asked the previous maid to bring sugar water to drink.

Seeing Ximen Qing pestering Mrs. Wu again, Gu Yao used the technique of opening the secluded world to look at the two of them.

The red-skinned centipede under Ximen Qingmian's skin seems to have grown bigger. It was just curled up between the eyebrows, but now it's actively swimming, crawling around the entire face.

But there was nothing unusual about him himself, he just watched Madam Wu explaining the flowers and plants in a daze, laughing and making happy pig calls from time to time.

And Mrs. Wu didn't see anything unusual, she was just wrapped in an inexplicable colorful mist, she didn't do anything, and she was even really serious about explaining the way of flowers and plants.

"Orchids are the most precious. When my husband was alive, I liked orchids the most. The most proud thing was letting a ghost orchid bloom."

She went on and on, pointing her fingers at the flower sketches on the wall from time to time, and also nodded and smiled at Gu Yao.

But Ximen Qing may just want to try not to stand up, and take back the saliva in time.

Gu Yao secretly observed: "This Gu technique must have something to do with this place, but apart from the fragrance and the colorful mist, I don't see anything wrong with her."

"I've never encountered a Gu technique before, it's a bit out of the ordinary for me."

Mrs. Wu behaved very well. Ximen Qing tried to grab her hand several times, but she dodged it gently, and continued to explain calmly.

"Ma'am, gentlemen, here comes the sugar water."

The maid came over with two cups of sugar water.

It was only then that Gu Yao realized that this maid was so tall, she was only a little lower than him, and taller than the old Taoist by more than half a head.

Ximen Qing took the sugar water without looking at it, and ignored the rising steam, drank it in one gulp, and then continued to stare at Mrs. Wu.

After taking the cup, Gu Yao pretended to blow, and looked at the maid with the technique of seclusion.

Nothing unusual, nothing out of the ordinary.

Looks like an ordinary person.

"The problem is still with Mrs. Wu. Does she have something to do with the fire leader in the Outer Eight Elements, or does she have a relationship with the southern Miaojiang who is proficient in Gu art?"

Gu Yao was absent-minded, feeling that the steam had dissipated a lot, and was about to drink when he was suddenly taken aback.

The sugar water is filled with dense light spots.

red yellow black gray
Most are green dots.

"Ximen Qing just said that he also drank a glass of sugar water that day."

I just said that there must be something wrong with being so coquettish and making people drink sugar water.

Gu Yao acted cleverly, pretending to be too hot, put down the teacup calmly, and continued to look at the two people over there.

But I never expected that this Mrs. Wu would leave Ximen Qing behind, walk over on her own initiative, pick up the teacup and blow it gently, and bring it to Gu Yao: "Mr. Wu must be disgusted that this sugar tea is too hot , the little girl blew cold for you, please try it."

Ximen Qing behind her changed from Bajie to Wukong in an instant, and even fire appeared in her eyes.

"Or, let's give it to the official Ximen, he looks very thirsty," Gu Yao shrugged.

Mrs. Wu looked back at Ximen Qing, and said softly: "Drinking too much sugar water is not good for your health. Mr. Ximen understands, doesn't he?"

"Naturally." Ximen Qing nodded while staring at Gu Yao viciously.

"I can't do it, sister-in-law."

Gu Yao shied away, deliberately accidentally knocking the sugar water over the woman's chest.

Seeing that the green robe was wet in a large area in an instant, and even showed a little shape, Gu Yao immediately apologized, grabbed the annoyed Ximen Qing and said, "I'm rude, please forgive me, I will take the high officials back to the mansion. I’ll come back tomorrow to apologize.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ximen Qing to say anything, he dragged him out forcefully, and stopped when he was far away from the intersection.

"Gu Yao, what are you doing? If you're like this, we won't even be friends in the future." Ximen Qing was very angry.

Gu Yao checked that there was no one around, and directly pulled out the sword to rest on his neck: "Don't move around."

A sword pierced the center of his eyebrows, and he took out a piece of yellow paper to catch a drop of blood from his eyebrows.

"How did you feel there?"

"Put down your sword and don't be impulsive. We will pursue Madam, each with his own means." Ximen Qing stammered.

"I asked you how it felt there?"

"How can I feel? Madam is so beautiful, so gentle and considerate, I am so happy that I want to go to heaven."

Seeing that the centipede under his face was still so active, Gu Yao slapped him unconscious.

He took off the mask and looked there: "Fortunately, I brought a mask, let me go and test her again."

"What should I do if I just rob the sword? That woman must remember my sword."

For the first time in his life, he was worried about Jie Jian's outstanding appearance like him.
