my panda city master

Chapter 17 The Weird Summer Resort

The Summer Resort is built from a mountain, and the mountain is difficult to level. The big rocks hidden in the ground at the beginning of the construction are gradually exposed, and it cannot be moved away by manpower.So the old landlord Peng left them and asked people to rebuild the villa according to the trend of the stones, and thus achieved this scene of chaotic rocks.

The villa is full of stones, with strange shapes, but it also creates a unique scenery.

Xixi walked through the chaotic rocks, knocking from time to time, and asked curiously after catching up: "Senior, it must have taken a lot of effort to build a house here, and it is also far away from the nearest town, why did you choose the house?" How about building a villa here?"

Peng Xiu replied indifferently: "Can a villa built in a busy city still be called a summer resort? Although Yulou has strong financial resources, it only built such a villa. It is not a problem to spend more manpower and material resources."

Xixi suddenly.After answering, she was satisfied and stopped to wait for Mo Bai.Mobai's pace still feels like a stroll in the courtyard, holding Master Rabbit in his arms, the picture is very harmonious.Ever since she had Mo Bai, she was liberated as the rabbit master shit shoveler.But after two years of hugging, she has gotten used to it, and her hands will itch. When he stepped forward, she stretched out her hand and said, "Master Rabbit is back."

Master Rabbit looked up at her slowly, looked at her with empty hands, sneered and gave her a disdainful expression, and didn't move - trying to abduct it without a carrot, don't even think about it.

Xixi squeezed Lord Rabbit's chubby face, leaned closer and said loudly: "He wants to fatten you up and eat you up, idiot, come back soon."

Master Rabbit: Humph.

Xixi was devastated, her rabbit seemed to have been abducted.But after thinking about it, Master Rabbit belongs to Mo Bai, but Mo Bai belongs to her, so Master Rabbit still belongs to him.Thinking of this, she suddenly felt satisfied.

When Mo Bai saw her happy again, he really wanted to know how she changed her mood in an instant, he was really envious.

Peng Xiu led the two to an octagonal gazebo. After Xixi sat down, he realized that the stone tables and benches were actually embedded in the ground. It can be seen that there were stones here originally, polished by stonemasons, and they were natural. , sitting very comfortably.

This is where Peng Xiu lived alone, so no one poured tea when he sat down.She said coldly: "Tell me, what is the purpose of coming here?"

Xixi withdrew her thoughts, and took out the rosewood box, and the Linglong Pearl lay quietly in it: "This luminous pearl was sent to Senior Shentu by senior, right?"

"Yes."

Peng Xiu's brows showed displeasure again, and Mo Bai could see that she was very reluctant to mention this past event.

"But the Linglong Pearl was not delivered to Senior Shentu in the end."

Peng Xiu was startled suddenly, astonishment appeared on his indifferent face.

"The box was stolen by my great-grandfather in the middle of the journey, but my great-grandfather probably didn't know that there was this note in it, so he put it in the cellar at home. Until not long ago, I accidentally Zhong Zai found it in the cellar. Later, together with Mo Bai, I found Senior Shentu."

A few simple words, but I only heard them 60 years later, it seems like a lifetime away.Peng Xiu was stunned for a while, then suddenly smiled, helplessly: "It turns out that Miaoshou stole the box empty-handed, and the letter back then was never delivered to Fenglou, nor to Shentuding. It's a waste of me... a waste of me... "She was pale and her tone was agitated, but the words came to her lips but couldn't come out.

Xixi felt guilty and uncomfortable hearing that, for a total of 60 years, how many people in the world can pass two Jiazi, and said: "Senior Shentu was also shocked by this incident, so let me come to Senior Peng, I want to Resolve this half-life grievance."

Peng Xiu didn't answer, she was silent for a long time, and then said: "Shen Tuding and I have been avoiding each other for sixty years, even though we know that this matter has nothing to do with you, but you are a great-granddaughter who has nothing to do with you, why would he give you a gift that is rare for ordinary people? Token, so you can call people from Fenglou?"

Xixi said: "Senior Shentu said that he doesn't blame me. It's just that I think the reason why he gave me the token is just to let me find you, senior, in the rivers and lakes. Let's clarify this matter. After this matter is resolved, This junior will also return the token to Senior Shentu."

When Mo Bai heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. This token is hard to buy with a lot of money, and she is so generous that she doesn't want to stay anymore.He thought about it, probably because...she didn't know that the token could be exchanged for money at the bank, otherwise, with her thrifty nature of keeping the house, she wouldn't return it even if she cried and shouted.

Maybe Peng Xiu was hit too hard, she didn't say anything for a long time, she didn't dare to disturb her when she was happy, and waited for her to recover slowly.

"In the past 60 years, I have led the Yulou people to fight against him many times. Can the misunderstandings and grievances between the two of us really be resolved?"

Xixi said: "Yes, as long as senior has the will, it is fine. If senior Shentu has no intention of reconciling, then we will not appear here."

Peng Xiu's eyes were slack, she pondered for a long time, and then she spoke again, her voice hoarse: "Then can... let him come here and talk to me?"

Xixi hesitated: "Is it just for talking?" Is it just to settle the suspicion and ignore other things?She continued, "Senior wants to blame me, but this junior still wants to say something. Now that you are not bound by the affairs of Yulou, maybe you can still have a chance with Senior Shentu..."

Peng Xiu shook her head: "Little girl, you are not from the world, you don't understand these things, and you don't talk too much. If you really want to know why you just cleared up your suspicions and there is no other possibility, you can ask City Lord Mo, and he will help you. Explain clearly."

Xixi had already heard it once from Shentu Ding, but she still thought that now that Peng Xiu had "put down" everything, if senior Shentu wanted to, then it would be fine to live in seclusion together in this villa.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Peng Xiu said, "Compared with other things, love between men and women should be put behind."

"What's the matter?"

"You'll understand later."

Xixi stubbornly said: "I can put Mo Bai's life ahead of me, and he can also put his life ahead of me. In this world, what is more important than life?"

So straightforward, Mo Bai is used to it, this is Xixi, spontaneous and natural.

The corners of Peng Xiu's eyes could not help revealing a sneer again: "It's like this for one year, so what about three or five years? Let's talk about this sentence on my grave after 60 years."

Given her age, she is not convincing when she talks about future events: "Then please wait a few days, senior. It will take several days for senior Shentu to come from Fenglou."

Peng Xiu said lightly: "Whatever you want. If you find it troublesome, you can also live here. There are many houses. It's just living and eating. You have to solve it yourself."

"Yes. Mobai will take good care of me, senior, don't worry about it."

Mo Bai stroked Lord Rabbit's hand for a while, he couldn't even take care of himself, where did she get the confidence?

There are indeed a lot of vacant rooms in the Mountain Resort. Xixi walked around and picked an attic, where he could take in most of the scenery of Wanfeng Valley.

Mo Bai went to write a letter and asked the guards to send him to Fenglou, but he didn't see Xixi when he came back, and even Master Rabbit was not in the room.The room was empty, and so was the rabbit cage.After waiting for a while, Xixi came back.

Master Rabbit was running ahead, and Xixi was also bouncing back, looking happy.The bamboo basket in her hand was full of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The mud was removed very cleanly, but there was no water stain. It looked like the food stored in the Summer Resort. I don’t know how she found it. Peng Xiu definitely wouldn’t. So kindly tell her.

Xixi noticed the gaze from upstairs, looked up, and saw the stern city lord, immediately showed his face and waved to him.

She ran upstairs, and Mo Bai was already standing at the door, taking the basket: "Where did you find it?"

Xixi took down the full water bottle and handed it to him: "Master Rabbit led the way. Master Rabbit's nose is the best in the world. I almost named it 'Master Dog'. Drink it quickly, I am thirsty." Why don't you find water by yourself, sloth bear."

Mo Bai picked it up: "How do you know I'm thirsty?"

Xixi stretched out her fingers and scratched his lips: "It's all dry, you can tell it at a glance, drink it quickly, it's so sweet."

Mo Bai took two sips, it was really sweet.As soon as he sat down, Lord Rabbit jumped up, and jumped onto the table from his lap to rummage through the things in the basket.But after tossing and turning, it didn't find its favorite carrot. It turned around angrily, kicked the basket, and then lay down on the table and sulked.

Xixi took a sweet potato and put it in front of it. Master Rabbit sniffed it and kicked it away.

"...Master Rabbit, why are you picky eaters like your father?" Xixi picked up the sweet potato, then turned to Mo Bai and said, "It's all your fault, you gave it such good carrots all the time, and now it doesn't even eat the miscellaneous grains."

Mo Bai shrugged, she was still unreasonable.Looking at these vegetarian dishes, he felt a little disgusted, and asked, "Where's the meat?"

Xixi stared: "Both of you are not allowed to be picky eaters!"

At night, Master Rabbit still ate sweet potatoes, and after eating three mouthfuls he disliked two, he finally filled his stomach.

Xixi lit a fire in the yard and simmered sweet potatoes and potatoes to eat.Mo Bai would definitely not let himself go hungry, he came back after going out for a while, with a pheasant in his hand, he was overjoyed and envious: "It's great to know martial arts, but...you can kill chickens, and how can you kill chickens?" Killed so cleanly?"

Mo Bai found a wooden stick to hang the chicken up: "Oh, throw it to the dark guard to clean up."

"..." She knew right away that Mo Bai was a good-for-nothing!She reached out and took the pheasant and inserted it. The stick was inserted into the soil and roasted effortlessly.

Mo Bai watched from the side, the fire reflected the ice in his eyes that melted, shining brightly, it was indescribably warm.Xixi simply moved to his side, tilted her body, and leaned against him: "If Peng Xiu and Senior Shentu reconcile, and Senior Shentu misses the old relationship again, what should I do if I help Peng Xiu crusade against you?"

"will not."

"So sure?"

"Senior Shentu loves his subordinates far more than Peng Xiu. If Peng Xiu also loves her subordinates, he would not agree to Yu Wenyi's deal."

Xixi understood, and muttered again: "It's also strange, Peng Xiu seems so indifferent and selfish, but he lost his composure today after hearing what happened 60 years ago."

Sure enough, women will be more impulsive when they encounter emotional matters?Regardless of age?
She counted the time while thinking: "Okay, potatoes and sweet potatoes are ready to eat."

Then Mo Bai saw her go to turn over the fire, her face was reddened by the flames, looked at the things in her hand again, and said, "You actually... use the dagger I gave you..."

He was concentrating on searching for Xixi in the fire without raising his head: "Yeah, it's easy to use. I'll wipe it clean and insert potatoes for you to eat later."

"..." The point!

After a while, a potato was brought to her face, the skin had already been peeled off by her shouting to be hot, and the hot potato was still steaming.

Thinking that she was also hungry, Mo Bai gently pushed her: "You eat first, you are hungry."

"Not hungry." Xixi looked at him suspiciously, "You must be picky eaters again, right?"

"..." The affection was extinguished, and Mo Bai took it with a snort—whose heart is not sunny anymore?

Four days later, Shentu Dingren hadn't arrived yet, and the carrier pigeon came back first. The letter said that he had already set off and was rushing to come.

After Mo Bai finished reading the letter, he found that Xixi was still holding on to the pigeon, and asked, "What happened to the pigeon?"

Xixi's eyes lit up: "Find a pot to cook pigeon soup."

The pigeon flapped its wings violently.

Mo Bai opened her fingers: "Since ancient times, I have never cut them off."

Xixi cried: "Eating sweet potatoes every day is about to turn me into sweet potatoes, and do you know how bad it is to eat baked sweet potatoes? I'm..."

Before she finished speaking, her nasal cavity became hot and her nose bleed...

Mo Bai grabbed his sleeve and covered it for her: "Go out today and go to the town to eat white rice."

Xixi smiled sweetly: "Okay."

After her nosebleed stopped, Mo Bai took her to the town.After eating, drinking and having fun for a long time, the two bought pots and pans, a bag of rice, and a basket of carrots.When he came back, Lord Rabbit was lying on top of the carrot, and he didn't come down when he got to the villa, so Mo Bai even carried the rabbit in the basket.

Xixi sent some rice to Peng Xiu's place. This was the first time the two met in four days.

The excitement of that day was no longer on Peng Xiu's face, and his expression was calm. When he saw her bring the rice, he even thanked her.

Before leaving, Xixi said again: "Senior Shentu is already on his way."

Mentioning Shen Tuding, Peng Xiu's face had a little imperceptible spirit: "I know."

After half of their rice grains were eaten, Shen Tuding finally arrived.

When Xixi heard the knock on the door and ran to open the door, she saw that there was no one behind him, and he came alone, and she understood that Shen Tu must really just want to resolve the misunderstanding with Peng Xiu, but there will be no such thing in the future. There are too many entanglements, so I don't want others to know.She greeted her with a smile: "Senior Peng is waiting for you inside."

As soon as the words fell, Shentu Ding was deeply moved.Ever since she left for Fangcheng, he couldn't sleep at night.Later, when he heard that Yulou chased and killed Mo Bai, he was still surprised, thinking that Peng Xiu resented him to such an extent and refused to listen to the visitor's explanation.After knowing it wasn't, he was relieved.But he felt that there was no hope of reconciliation between himself and Peng Xiu.Unexpectedly, when he was already disappointed, he received a letter from Peng Xiu to meet him.

As soon as he received the letter, he came at full speed, without delay on the way.

After all, he was already old, and when he came on the road, he was much more haggard, not as energetic as when Xixi saw him last time, and he looked very tired.

Shentu Ding just tidied himself up a little when he followed her in, and didn't pay too much attention to it.

Xixi led him to a small building and asked him to wait there before going up to knock on the door.

"Senior, Senior Shentu is here."

There was silence in the room, and only after a while did footsteps come.As soon as the door opened, Peng Xiu faced the afternoon sun and set off his figure a bit taller: "He's finally here..."

Mo Bai also heard the movement, came to look for Xixi, saw Shentu Ding on the lawn downstairs, nodded slightly, and went upstairs.He was always not at ease with Peng Xiu, considering what she had done in the past, if it wasn't for the fact that she had nothing to do with it, he would not want Xixi to have anything to do with Peng Xiu.

Peng Xiu heard the sound of the stairs, looked there, saw it was Mo Bai, and said: "I want to ask Shen Tuding to go to the back mountain for a gathering, the old man will go there first, please take him there."

Mobai nodded.

Peng Xiu was silent for a moment, and then said: "He and I are in an awkward position now, after all, we can't let too many people know, can you ask City Lord Mo's hidden guards not to follow?"

Mo Bai said: "Wherever I am, they will follow. You talk to Shen Tuding, Xixi and I will not follow."

"No..." Peng Xiu frowned, "How can there be no outsiders for such an embarrassing matter, and Miss Yun knows this matter best, I think it is far better for her to be a bridge and reconcile than our embarrassment."

This matter is not unreasonable, Mo Bai acquiesced.

"Miss Yun wants to follow us, City Lord Mo will definitely not leave, but as soon as you follow, those hidden guards will follow."

"They will never talk nonsense, seniors can rest assured."

Peng Xiu shook her head with a look of embarrassment on her face. She didn't ask any more, but she didn't retreat either.It was Shen Tuding who heard it from below, and said loudly: "I hope City Master Mo can fulfill the task of saving Fenglou that day."

Mobai's long eyebrows were raised habitually again, and he said: "Okay, I will let them stay outside the villa."

"Peng Xiu is very grateful." She said again, "I will go ahead and trouble Lord Mo and Miss Yun to make arrangements."

Seeing her turning to the exit on the other side of the corridor, Mo Bai was thoughtful, and then went down with Xixi to meet Shentu Ding.

Shen Tuding had heard them talking just now, seeing them coming down now, he still looked behind them, but he really didn't see Peng Xiu.

Xixi said: "Senior Peng is waiting for you at the back."

After speaking, Xixi led the way, and Shen Tuding followed her, with complicated thoughts and thousands of words in his stomach, but he didn't know where to start.After thinking about it all the way, he didn't think of what to say.

Xixi had never been here before, but Peng Xiu must be right when she said to go this way.The three of them entered through the rock-built gate, and what they saw before them was not a yard, but a forest with dense trees.

She yelled twice, but there was no reply from Peng Xiu, only a long echo.

In the woods in autumn, the scorching sun can't penetrate the evergreen leaves, adding a bit of coolness to the forest.Xixi felt a little nervous, and moved closer to Mo Bai.

The wind blows through the forest, and the leaves are falling.Mo Bai said: "Crossing the woods is what Peng Xiu said about the backyard."

Xixi remembered that he had a map of the summer resort in his hand, so there was no doubt about it.The three of them continued to walk forward, and after walking for another half a minute, they finally left the woods. Faced with sunshine, the musty smell dissipated from their bodies.

Outside the mountain forest, there are many strange rocks, and the road can't be seen. There are only hundreds of huge rocks that are higher than ordinary people, and the eyes can't fall to the end.

Xixi called in a low voice: "Senior? Senior?"

She only yelled twice, and Mo Bai grabbed her wrist, turned around and pulled her away.She was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Mo Bai's eyes darkened: "There is fraud."

Shentu paused for a moment, didn't follow, stayed where he was, and was still waiting for Peng Xiu to come out.But Peng Xiu didn't come, but the stones here seemed to be alive, moving faintly, resembling people, beasts, ghosts and ghosts, with hideous faces.

Xixi raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, surprised: "They can move?!"

Mo Bai walked faster, without even turning his head, and said in a deep voice: "It's the universe array, an illusion. This stone forest and the woods complement each other to form a gossip universe array, which can't be seen at all. But if we look down from the sky, it should be You can see it right away."

Xixi was a little confused, no matter how she saw those stones were waving at her, she waved back, and after a while, the stones waved back even more enthusiastically.She was very interested: "Mobai, let's set up a universe formation in the yard to play after we go back."

Mo Bai: "..." Can she be more serious?
Master Rabbit was a little dizzy from the fascination, and when he poked his head around, he saw carrots soaring to the sky, the roots were ruddy and juicy, plump and delicious.It suddenly widened its eyes, stood up abruptly, jumped off Xixi's body, and rushed towards the "carrot formation".

Xixi woke up instantly: "Master Rabbit!"

As soon as she yelled, Mo Bai's figure had already passed by, catching up with Master Rabbit almost instantly, and scooped him up.Master Rabbit, who suddenly left the ground, froze for a moment, kicking his limbs to protest.Mo Bai really wanted to slap it unconscious, but he failed to slap the rabbit, so he had to give up.Returning to Xixi, he dragged her away again.

After entering the woods, the way we came here has changed, it is full of ghosts, and there is no way ahead.

"The Qiankun Formation has taken effect, and this place has turned into a maze." Mo Bai looked at the top of the tree, but he couldn't even see the dome.He looked away, holding Master Rabbit in one hand and Xixi in the other, "Go back to Shilin, climb up and have a look."

Xixi held his hand tightly, knowing that what she saw now was an illusion, and she was not surprised by any strange things.It's just that Master Rabbit didn't come back to his senses, and he always stared in the direction of the "carrot forest", salivating.

Shentu Ding was already sitting cross-legged on the spot, so that his inner strength was deep, and he quickly suppressed the discomfort caused by being disturbed by the Qiankun Formation in his body.He stood up slowly, his eyes darkened, and he murmured: "Why...why did she do this, this formation is simply going to put us to death."

Mo Bai said: "You understand now, it's not too late."

Shen Tuding's face was full of pain: "But why... didn't I say it? What happened back then was a misunderstanding. Between us, no one betrayed the other. Why is she still unwilling to listen to my explanation?"

Mo Bai looked around and realized that Peng Xiu was hiding in the dark, and he affirmed his thoughts even more, and said in a calm voice, "I think it's not that she didn't want to listen, but she didn't intend to listen from the beginning."

A sneer suddenly came from the dark, and a person slowly walked out of the stone forest, standing with his hands behind his back, so indifferent as to be almost heartless.Peng Xiu's eyes fell on Mo Bai's face, and there was an indescribable sarcasm in his eyes: "It's too late for you to know now, this Qiankun formation is the painstaking effort of two generations of our Peng family, it is so exquisite, there is no way to escape from it .”

There was a slight mocking look on Mo Bai's calm face, as proud as ever, Peng Xiu said angrily: "You destroyed my Yulou, and I took your life. You asked for all of this. And you, Yun Xixi."

The spearhead suddenly fell on Xixi, who was still dazed by the Qiankun formation, she seemed to see a big moving rice dumpling roaring at herself, she subconsciously said, "Huh?"

Peng Xiu's face was ferocious, and he was furious: "If it wasn't for my empty hand, I would have killed Shen Tuding and annexed Fenglou!"

Mo Bai was taken aback, Xixi was taken aback, and Shentuding was even more taken aback.
