As a eunuch, I don't want to live forever

Chapter 377 Zhuang Zhou tests his wife
Overnight.

When Chen Luo opened his eyes, it was already early morning.

There was still some smoke from the firewood in the temple last night...

Look up.

The blue sky is visible.

Slightly stunned.

But there was some emotion: "It's summer this night..."

This year.

Jianren has been here for two years.

The beginning of summer has arrived, and the temperature will be getting higher and higher for a long time to come. Of course, sudden heavy rains are also inevitable.

A water dragon was summoned to extinguish the charcoal fire.

So I set off again with fellow Taoist Bailong...

Strange to say.

Since last night, fellow Taoist Bailong has been feeling lazy all over his body, and he doesn't even like to talk anymore.

It turns into a white snake and hides in the sleeve.

If she hadn't been vaguely aware of it, Chen Luo would have almost forgotten her existence.

Ask her if she is okay?

She said Wuyou, saying that she was a little tired after digesting the inheritance left by the old gentleman.

Chen Luo couldn't ask any more questions.

The void is not compensated.

clear.

The sun was getting noon, and after passing the trail, the city in the distance was already visible.

The city is Shuzhou City.

Climbing there, you can feel the strong momentum.

Just using the Qi Watching Technique, I saw a blue dragon flying in the city, becoming a king, a powerful figure.

"Emperor Jianren?"

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback.

Is there Emperor Jianren in Shuzhou City?
He shouldn't be in Chengdu, why is he here?

Lowered his head, thinking.

Forget it...

In the end, he laughed...

"It's hard for him."

However, the first person Chen Luo saw was not Emperor Jianren Yang Wenchong, but a woman...

A woman is on the outskirts of Shuzhou City.

Sitting in front of a grave.

The grave is a new grave.

The woman held a fan and fanned the new grave up and down.

I don’t know how long it took.

It doesn’t seem like I’m tired either…

Chen Luo met.

I found it interesting and was not in a hurry to enter the city. Instead, I stood in the distance and watched the woman's behavior from afar.

"Taoist priest, why are you looking at me like this?"

The woman also saw Chen Luo.

I didn't want to answer anything, but seeing that Chen Luo had been looking at it for so long, I couldn't help but ask...

"Just a little curious."

"Curious what?"

"I'm curious why you are fanning the new grave with a fan? Could it be that you are practicing some kind of magical way?"

"What's there to be curious about? I just want the soil on the tomb to dry up earlier..."

Chen Luo asked again why?

The woman thought about it for a moment and thought it was okay, so she chatted with Chen Luo and explained the reason along the way.

It turned out that the owner of the tomb was her husband.

He has been dead for over a year.

Before his death, the woman made a promise that if the soil on this grave was not dried away, she would never marry anyone else...

But who would have thought that a man would appear later and take great care of her.

I wanted to marry him.

Thinking of the oath again...

He felt bad, so he fanned the new grave day and night, hoping that the new soil on the grave would turn into old soil, and the wet soil would turn into dry soil.

"I see!"

Chen Luo nodded.

With a little help, the soil on the grave will dry up in the blink of an eye...

Women see it.

Departed ecstatically.

……

into the city.

Before they had walked a few steps and felt the grand scene of Shuzhou City, there was suddenly a burst of excitement.

When he looked up, he saw that he was an acquaintance.

"Fellow Daoist, we meet again!"

Chen Luo smiled and saluted.

Zhuang Zhou said: "Why did the Taoist arrive at this time? I thought you had already entered Shuzhou City. Have you rested in Shuitian Township for a day or two? Did you see the master?"

"See you...the harvest is rich."

"Have you heard the sound of the piano?"

"Never..."

"This... I don't know whether I should call it luck or regret."

Zhuang Zhou sighed, but soon he happily took Chen Luo's hand: "Let's go... let's go... let me have a drink... I didn't drink freely on the sword road in the past, but today I must drink two hundred glasses!"

Chen Luo wanted to refuse, but Zhuang Zhou was a little too enthusiastic. Even if he wanted to refuse, he was embarrassed.

I simply accepted this enthusiasm.

Now that we are in the world of mortals, how can we miss out on the human connections and sophistication of the world of mortals?
eat, drink.

Young Master Zhuang Zhou also asked Chen Luo about what he had seen in the past few days.

Chen Luo thought for a while.

Speaking of the woman I saw outside the city...

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he shook his head: "How long has it been since we vowed to each other? The new soil on the grave has not yet dried, and she is getting married... Fortunately, the Taoist priest was kind and helped her. A handful...but if I say so, the Taoist priest shouldn’t take action.”

How about scolding Chen Luo?

It’s just that Zhuang Zhou couldn’t stand it after all and felt that the woman was not good.

Chen Luo said: "Fellow Taoist, the old soil on the new grave is just an excuse. The soil on the grave will never dry. Is that woman really going to be a widow all her life?"

"She has made a vow and should abide by it!"

"After all, we are mortals...the vows of ascetics are still checked by inner demons, and they are also limited by the Tao in their hearts, so they dare not violate them easily.

But how can any mortal value this?
The so-called oath.

It’s just the icing on the sweet cake…”

"For them.

Now is the most important thing! "

"No, no..."

Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "Nothing is absolute, mortals also have true feelings... My wife treats me just like before!"

Chen Luo nodded: "There is true love in the world, but there are always people like women..."

"After all, they are in the minority and should not be taken seriously."

Chen Luo couldn't say anything else.

Zhuang Zhou asked Chen Luo if he would live in Shuzhou City for a while.

Chen Luo nodded.

Zhuang Zhou invited.

Chen Luo shook his head.

"It's not easy to live under the fence of others, and I have a courtyard in the city of Shuzhou, so there is no need..." "The Taoist priest has a courtyard in the city?"

"Ok!"

No joke.

I don’t know who leaked the news and knew that I like to buy a house.

So over the years, Cat Lady, Wu Adou, Fan Yan... if they walked around the world and visited cities that Chen Luo had never been to, they would buy a yard that they thought was good.

Later, he sent it to Chen Luo in a flying book...

Sometimes it’s easy to not be able to get in touch.

Plant a peach tree in the southeast direction of the courtyard to leave its aura, and Chen Luo will know about it.

Chen Luo saw such a place when he entered the city.

There is also the aura left by Fan Yan.

very weak.

But it exists.

So there was this courtyard...

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he couldn't force himself anymore. He just said goodbye to Chen Laolu, but stopped where he was.

I don’t know why, but I always think of today’s conversation in the restaurant.

Thinking of the woman who fanned the new grave for a bridegroom...

Then he thought of his wife and gritted his teeth: "My wife is definitely not this kind of person..."

But I didn't know what was going on in my heart.

My wife is beautiful.

She is the most beautiful woman in Shuzhou.

If he died like that man, how long could his wife hold on?

lifetime?

three years?

Five years?

"If you don't know, then try it!"

……

The yard is quite big and the environment is quite quiet.

Just haven't gone in yet.

But I can detect someone in the courtyard...

There was a slight pause.

Knock on the door.

An old man walked out.

He is about sixty or seventy years old...

Some have hunched bodies,

Seeing Chen Luo, I was a little surprised.

"May I ask, sir, who are you looking for?"

Humans are mortals...without the aura of demons, they are ordinary...

And he is not the only one in this courtyard.

There are two more.

A young girl.

An old woman.

"Is the owner of this courtyard a fan?"

The old man's eyes lit up: "My benefactor is Fan Yan, and the old man's surname is Qiu. He was saved by his benefactor in the past, and later arranged this place to look after the yard for his benefactor... The benefactor said that someone will come to look for him in the future, to be my benefactor's master. , who are you, Taoist Priest?"

"That's right!"

Chen Luo said: "Fan Yan is my disciple, I am Chen Luo..."

"You are indeed here. Come on, come on... Sir, please come in!"

The old man hurriedly introduced Chen Luo inside.

After a while, my mother-in-law and a shy little girl came.

Chen Luo also knew the old man's name: Qiu Hanyuan, and his neighbors called him Lao Qiu.

The old woman Wu Granny... is Lao Qiu's wife. As for the little girl, she is Lao Qiu's granddaughter, Qiu Xiaoyue.

The story with Fan Yan is rather simple.

That was 50 years ago.

At that time, Lao Qiu was still young and had just gotten married...

When he came to Shuzhou with his family, he never expected that he would encounter an evil spirit on the way and both his parents would die.

If Fan Yan hadn't appeared, his life would have been saved.

I'm afraid that there is no chance for them to exist.

Not to mention that he arranged them here to have a shelter from the wind and rain.

Chen Luo has arrived today.

So it was time to leave...

only……

"You'd better keep some. This yard is a bit big. It's always a bit cold to live alone. And I'm also a person who likes excitement..."

Already destined.

Then stay.

Chen Luo is not that kind of heartless person, and if there are people in this family, he will be angry and angry.

This is a good thing.

Just like Kyoto, isn't Chen Da looking after home?
So there are no differences between this person, two persons, or three persons or four persons.

Lao Qiu and others were a little embarrassed.

It can be seen that after Chen Luo said this, he finally stayed...

But in the rest of the time, Chen Luo was taken care of very well.

Lao Qiu looked after the house and the hospital.

Grandma Wu was cooking and a fire broke out.

Xiaoyue is shy, but every day when she opens her eyes, she is already serving Chen Luo with water to wash herself.

Chen Luo was embarrassed.

It always felt wrong to be served like this by a little girl.

And there are changes in the morning, which makes it even more uncomfortable.

He didn't care, but Xiaoyue was still young and couldn't ignore it.

But every time at this time, the little girl lowered her head and didn't say a word. In the end, Chen Luo had to give up.

nod.

accepted her service.

And she would also laugh, smiling very sweetly.

But after entering Shuzhou City, fellow Taoist Bailong became even more lazy. When he entered the courtyard, there happened to be a pond in the courtyard, so he hid in the pond, but he didn't appear for a long time.

However, in these days, Lao Qiu brought a piece of news...

He said: "There is a big banker in the city. The owner of the banker is Zhuang Zhou. He died yesterday!"

He sighed a little: "I also know that man. He was a handsome and talented man. He was still young. Why did he die now? I heard that he had a wife only a hundred days ago!"

"Sir, tell me, is this a pity? 0"

"It's a pity."

Chen Luo nodded, not sure what to say.

But this day.

Evening sunset.

Chen Luo was lying in the yard, feeling the summer breeze blowing leisurely, feeling very uncomfortable.

But it was at this time.

Chen Luo looked outside the door.

"It's finally here..."

He is still thinking about when it will appear...

It has been three days since I entered Shuzhou, and I finally arrived.

Now that I'm here, I have to meet him.
