Chapter 41 Chapter 40

The old woman tied the other end of the long rope to the boat, tied the fishing boat tightly, and suddenly flew up and landed on the reef.She carried a bamboo basket in each of her left and right hands, and her figure flew over the treacherous and slippery rocks, but she was steady and fast enough to shock the world.The evil waves among the reefs are surging, and the snow-white waves are splashing in all directions.The old woman's figure was like a rabbit, she looked straight like a white-haired dragon-mother-in-law flying across the sky, but she went straight to the rock where Tie Zhongtang was hiding.

Tie Zhongtang was startled in vain again: "Could it be that she has already discovered me?" In an instant, the old woman had already swept up the rock.But she didn't pounce on it one after another. Instead, she walked a few steps along the foot of the rock, suddenly put down the bamboo basket, stretched out her hands, grabbed a sharp rock, and pulled it hard.No matter who looked at that side, they must have definitely thought it was a stalagmite that had taken root on the rock, but unexpectedly it slowly slid away under her hand. Tie Zhongtang looked down from above, happened to see clearly.I saw that under the slid open stalagmite was an iron plate, and the white-haired old woman leaned over and lifted the iron plate, revealing a hole with a radius of two feet.The cave is dark and dark, bottomless.The old woman leaned over the entrance of the cave and called out, "The meal is here."

Where the call fell, there was a sudden sound of iron chains dragging the ground, coming from the cave.At the entrance of the bottomless cave, the sound of iron chains sounded, which made people feel a sense of mystery and terror. The more Tie Zhongtang looked at it, the more amazed he became. He had no intention of prying through other people's secrets.The old woman heard the ringing of the iron chain, immediately took out two paper bags from the bamboo basket, said softly: "Catch it," and threw them into the cave.She seemed to be deeply afraid of the people in the cave, she threw down the paper bag, immediately covered the iron plate tightly, turned over, and pushed the rock.

I only heard a hoarse voice in the cave saying: "Go back and tell the future, she..." But the stalagmite was closed, and the voice was cut off immediately. The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "...Poor! Poor! A hero for a lifetime, who...has done it for himself...There is no hope for this life." But vaguely, it can be guessed that the old woman seems to be a man in a cave. regret. But although she regretted that the man in the cave was a hero all his life, she also said that he had fallen into such a situation, he did it all on his own, and if he wanted to escape, it would be hopeless in this life.

Tie Zhongtang watched the shadow of the boat disappear, and thought to himself: "It seems that this old woman must be from Changchun Island, so only people in the cave will mention the word "future." He thought of Yunzheng and Wen Daidai who also took this boat to find him, so he concluded that this old bamboo shoot must have come from Changchun Island.Tie Zhongtang had also heard that the saint in black wanted Wen Daidai to whistle for the ferry, so Wen Daidai and Yun Zheng must have been on "Eternal Spring Island" and they were no longer afraid of harm up.Since they were out of danger, Tie Zhongtang felt relieved.

But who was it that was imprisoned in this mysterious cave? This person dared to call him by the name of "Future", although the old woman seemed to be so wary of him, she called him a "Hero of the World", his identity must be quite amazing. "In the future" imprisoned him in such a dark and damp cave, it was obvious that he hated him deeply, but why didn't he simply kill him?And the person who can be hated "in the future" must definitely be an extraordinary person. Tie Zhongtang tossed and turned, thinking left and right, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this fact was extremely mysterious, and the life experience of the man in the cave must also be full of mystery.As soon as he thought of this, his curiosity couldn't be restrained anymore, he jumped several times in succession, rushed to the stalagmite, pushed away the stalagmite, and raised the iron plate.

But he never acted recklessly, for fear that the people in the cave would take the opportunity to escape.If this person is not a villain, that's all right. If he is a vicious person, but I can't control him, is it necessary to cause a big disaster?So he just lifted the iron plate by a line, and if the situation is not right, there is still time to close the iron plate. You must know that the stalagmite weighs more than a thousand catties, and it can only be pushed to the side, but it cannot be grasped upwards. There is an iron plate in the middle, and the cave people will never try to remove the stalagmite.What's more, the iron plate is seven inches thick, and its weight is extremely heavy, even with extremely high palm strength, it is absolutely impossible to shatter it.Therefore, although people outside the cave can enter, it is very difficult for people in the cave to get out.And there are thousands of stalagmites on the rocks, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would know that there are secrets hidden under these stalagmites?The person who built this secret cave is full of ingenuity and admiration.

Tie Zhongtang looked down through the gap between the white iron plates, and under the sunlight, he saw that the cave was a winding and mysterious tunnel.Suddenly hearing the sound of the iron chain dragging the ground, it swayed from the tunnel again, a figure, following the sound of the iron chain dragging the ground, slowly appeared from the shadows, and said sharply: "Who is outside, disturbing people again?" Clear dream?" Tie Zhongtang couldn't see his appearance clearly, he only felt that although this person was chained and imprisoned, his tone of voice still had the power of an emperor.Even the emperor, in captivity, would often lose his majesty.Naturally, this person will never be the real emperor, but under such circumstances, he still has such an aura, a kind of majestic majesty, which is so imposing that it is so imposing that it is very close to Tie Zhongtang's eyebrows.

Tie Zhongtang thought for a moment, but without saying a word, he lifted the iron plate completely. The man looked up and said angrily: "Where is the mad slave? Why don't you answer?" I saw that his hair was disheveled and his beard was longer than his chest. His appearance was indeed very poor, but that kind of heroic spirit was even more intoxicating.Tie Zhongtang held onto the iron plate tightly, as long as he moved his body, he could eunuch the iron plate, but he said in his mouth: "The crypt has been opened, why don't you take the opportunity to escape?" The man never thought that he would say this sentence suddenly, so he couldn't help being startled.But in an instant, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "When did Zhu escape in his life? Ignorant junior, what kind of people do you think of our family?"

The sound of wild laughter shook people's ears, it was Shenlong who was trapped in the shoal, and the remaining power was still amazing.Tie Zhongtang thought again, and said loudly, "Do you know Zhu Zao?" The man seemed to be shaken, and said: "Zhu...Zhu Zao?" Tie Zhongtang said: "Yes, Zhu Zao, the son of Emperor Ye." The man murmured: "Zhu Zao...Zhu Zao..." He was still dazed and dazed, after a long while, he suddenly shouted, "Do you know him?" Tie Zhongtang said: "I know." The man said: "He...where is he?...Is he...he is here too?" His voice was already trembling, obviously his heart was very excited.

Tie Zhongtang sighed secretly, he had already guessed who this person was. He met this person by accident, although he was surprised and happy in his heart, but when he saw this person's appearance like this, he couldn't help being moved and wanted to cry.The man was full of anxiety, and said sharply: "Quickly say, is he here?" Tie Zhongtang sighed: "Although he is in the future, he misses you all the time, it's just... just that he doesn't know where you are." The man trembled again, and said, "You... how do you know that he misses me?" Tie Zhongtang smiled sadly, grabbed the iron plate suddenly, and jumped down. The man sternly said, "What are you going to do?" Before the words were finished, Tie Zhongtang was already respectful, knelt down in front of him, bowed his head and said: "Little nephew Tie Zhongtang, ask your family's blessing." The man's eyes were wide open, his expression was even more astonished, and he said sharply, "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Why do you want to bow down to me?" Tie Zhongtang said: "My nephew is brother Zhu Zao's sworn brother. When I see you, I should kneel down and worship you." Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and he was grabbed by the man. Like steel, the strength is so strong that I have never encountered it in my life. What's more, with martial arts practiced to Tie Zhongtang's level, he already has an instinctive reaction to anyone's attack, no matter who it is, it is difficult to catch him.But this person was able to stretch out his hand without a trace, and it wasn't until Tie Zhongtang caught Tie Zhongtang that Tie Zhongtang realized how amazing the speed of this move was. Although Tie Zhongtang is made of brass and iron bones, it seems that he can't bear this person's grasping force at this moment, but he still gritted his teeth and held back, never frowning.The man didn't let go of his palm, his eyes were burning, fixed on Tie Zhongtang. Tie Zhongtang also raised his head and looked back at him.I saw the toga on his body, which has been mended thousands of times, his long hair is loose, and although his eyes are still shining brightly, he still looks very poor.Especially the pair of huge iron chains locked on his body made Tie Zhongtang full of emotions, both pity and grief. The man said slowly: "You already know who I am?" Tie Zhongtang said: "My nephew already knows who you are." The man murmured: "That's right, that's right, he can also be called Zhu Zao's brother." He suddenly let go of his palm, looked up to the sky and laughed, "Since you already know who I am, you should call me Old Man." yes." Tie Zhongtang was completely sure that his guess was right. This old man, who was shackled all over his body and couldn't even move his hands and feet, was the famous "Ye Di" that no one could compete with!In an instant, Tie Zhongtang was even more pleasantly surprised, bowed to the ground again, respectfully said: "Old man..." Ye Di laughed and said: "Zao'er has always been arrogant, if he can make a brotherhood with him, I already know that I can't make a mistake." Tie Zhongtang said: "Thank you for your compliment, old man." Ye Di said: "It's not surprising that you can guess who I am in a moment, I don't think you can withstand my grasping force, your face doesn't change, and there are a few hard bones in your end." Tie Zhongtang saw that he had fallen to such a state, and his heart was still so open-minded. If he wasn't an outstanding man, how could he be like this, he couldn't help admiring him even more. Yedi said: "Unexpectedly, Zao'er still remembers me! How is he? My residence must have been tidied up by him to make it even more spacious." Tie Zhongtang felt sad for a moment, after a while, Fang Zi reluctantly held back his grief, and lowered his head, "I don't know how long it has been since the old man came home?" Ye Di said: "Whoever has the patience to remember that day, it may be ten years or so!" Tie Zhongtang sighed secretly: "If other people live like him, they must live like years, and they can remember how many days clearly, but he can't even remember how many years, what kind of mind!" Said: "The sea has changed, the world has changed a lot in the past ten years..." Ye Di laughed and said: "But my residence is far away from the world of mortals, so I don't think there will be..." Tie Zhongtang sighed: "Then... that place...has..." He really couldn't bear to say that Yedi's place had been burned down. Yedi changed color and said, "What's going on?" But Tie Zhongtang did not dare to hide it, he lowered his head and said: "It has...been burned." He was afraid that the old man would be too sad when he heard this shocking incident, so that he would hang his head deeply and never again Dare to look up. Unexpectedly, Emperor Ye looked up to the sky and laughed again: "Is it burnt... It doesn't matter if it is burned, the old man wanted to burn it more than ten years ago." Tie Zhongtang said: "Why...why..." Yedi laughed and said: "Since you are brothers with the Zhu family, you should know that no matter what the situation is, my Zhu family must enjoy, but not suffer." Tie Zhongtang said: "Yes..." Ye Di said: "But no matter what kind of enjoyment you have, you must struggle to get it. If you like to enjoy better than others, your ability must be higher than others." Tie Zhongtang said solemnly: "My nephew will definitely remember this point forever." Ye Di smiled and said: "I believe in Zao'er's ability, no matter how bad the environment is, he will be able to transform it, so I have always been at ease with him, but..." The smile disappeared suddenly, and he sighed: "I just don't know his How is the mother now?" Tie Zhongtang's heart trembled, and he lowered his head even lower. Ye Di sighed: "She is really too strong, she wants to beat me wholeheartedly, but practicing martial arts like her is too painful, I wonder if her pain is over?" Tie Zhongtang didn't dare to raise his head, and said, "Her suffering is over..." Ye Di smiled and said: "Very good, she should enjoy the blessing." Tie Zhongtang felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he didn't dare to raise his head. Ye Di said: "There are some good wine and food inside, since you are here, you should talk to me, don't be in a hurry to leave, you know, go in and have a few drinks." Tie Zhongtang was startled and amazed, he was almost speechless, he was dumbfounded for a long while, then Fang Zi mumbled, "Old...do you want to go in, old man?" Ye Di said: "Of course I will go in." Tie Zhongtang said: "Since my nephew has already opened the secret door, why doesn't the old man leave? It's better to wait for my nephew to get rid of the... things on my old man..." Yedi said: "So you want to save me out." Tie Zhongtang said: "My nephew... My nephew is..." Ye Di looked up to the sky and smiled again: "If I wanted to leave, I would have left long ago. Do I need to wait for you to come? My child, you really underestimated your old uncle Zhu." Tie Zhongtang said: "Old... old man why...why don't you leave?" Ye Di smiled and said: "There is a reason for this, you will gradually understand." Pulling up Tie Zhongtang, he turned and walked towards the winding cave. Tie Zhongtang was startled and sighed again, thinking: "This old man is really Jiang Gui's nature, old and hot, at this age, he is still so stubborn, at this point, he still refuses to accept the slightest help from anyone, it seems that only slow Slowly try to persuade him, and he will leave." But how dare he say these words, he had to follow along. I saw that the secret cave under the mountain rock is twists and turns and deep, just like Zhuge Wuhou's eight trigrams array, especially in the secret and complicated places.The two walked for a while, and Tie Zhongtang realized that if he hadn't had an old man leading the way, he would never have thought of walking back to the original place from this winding road.The deeper it went, the more gloomy and gloomy it became, until later it was hard to see five fingers. Tie Zhongtang thought that his sworn brother's father had lived in this kind of place for more than ten years, so he was determined to persuade the old man to go out.I don't know how long it took to turn around, but Ye Difang stopped in his tracks. All of a sudden, Tie Zhongtang only heard a light "ding" sound, the flames flashed, and suddenly there was a bright light in front of his eyes, it turned out that the secret passage had already been lit.I saw that the rock wall in front had been chiseled into the shape of a stone lamp, and there were more than ten wicks connected to each other. When Ye Di flint hit it, the wicks burned together in an instant, as if by magic. Tie Zhongtang was amazed and stared dumbfounded.What surprised him was not the coincidence of making the stone lamp, but he couldn't figure out where the oil in the lamp came from.But what made him even more strange was yet to come.The secret path has always been damp and dark, but here it is dry and spacious. There is a stone bed on the left, a stone table on the right, several stone benches, and a stone basin beside the stone table. There is a ray of clear spring, gurgling endlessly, flowing out from the mouth of the dragon, and flowing out from the bottom of the basin, but the basin is always full of clear water, and the toilet utensils beside it are all clean. Ye Di smiled and said, "Is this place okay?" Tie Zhongtang said: "Although this place is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time." Ye Di laughed and said, "Well said... Well said..." While laughing, he had already opened the two paper bags.The food in the paper bag was also rich, Tie Zhongtang only said that he wanted to persuade himself to eat, but Ye Di picked up the paper bag and poured all the food in the bag into the ditch under the basin. Tie Zhongtang was shocked and said, "Old man... what is this for?" Yedi said: "Do you think I'm going to go on a hunger strike to kill myself?" Tie Zhongtang said: "This... this..." Ye Di laughed and said: "Just don't worry, even if the old man is going to die, he must find a comfortable way, and he will never starve to death." Tie Zhongtang was even more surprised, and couldn't help but said: "But why did the old man pour the food down?" Yedi laughed and said: "These things are only for horses. I don't have donkeys or horses here. Why don't you dump it and keep it?" Tie Zhongtang was stunned for a while, but couldn't help asking: "No... I don't know what the old man eats on weekdays?" Ye Di didn't answer, but instead asked: "The old man said just now that if he wanted to leave, he would have left many years ago, do you not believe it?" Tie Zhongtang murmured: "My nephew really doesn't believe it." Ye Di laughed and said: "You are very honest... good! Just wait for half an hour, and during this half hour, no matter what you see, don't talk." Tie Zhongtang was even more suspicious, and reluctantly said: "My nephew obeys." Yedi laughed loudly and said: "Okay!" His arms trembled amidst the laughter, his body grew violently, covered with iron chains and shackles, and suddenly scattered in all directions, clattering, clattering and choking, covering the ground. Tie Zhongtang said in shock, "This..." Yedi laughed and said, "Don't forget not to speak." Tie Zhongtang had no choice but to suppress his surprise. Ye Di turned around and walked to the basin, freshened up a bit, took off his toga, and found a soft and gorgeous flowered shirt woven with soft silk.When he turned around, where was the down-and-out old man from before?Where is there a trace of desperation?I saw that his face was radiant, his beard and hair were as soft as his clothes, and although he looked chic and elegant, he also carried an irresistible majesty.This strange mixture of chic and majesty blended into an irresistible masculine charm, which made people forget his age immediately. Tie Zhongtang cried out again, although he held back his mouth, he couldn't close it anymore. Ye Di smiled slightly, walked slowly to the stone bed, stretched out his hand, and the stone bed opened up in response to his hand, revealing a cave again, but the cave was very bright, and the secret passage in the cave was also very smooth bright and clean. Yedi said: "Follow me." Tie Zhongtang followed in a daze as if in a dream.He is gifted with wit and wit, usually he can predict nine out of ten things that other people will do in advance, but everything Ye Di did today is beyond his expectations.On both sides of the secret path, every ten steps, there is a stone lamp. After dozens of steps, there is a crescent stone gate, with a long light blue curtain hanging down. Ye Di looked back and smiled, "Close your eyes, and open them when you want to." At this moment, Tie Zhongtang cast all his arms towards him, and immediately closed his eyes.He felt Ye Di led him into the curtain, and after walking a few steps, a faint fragrance wafted from his nose, making people intoxicated.The aroma is strong, and the room is getting warmer. After another half hour, Ye Di Fang laughed to himself and said, "Okay, open it." Tie Zhongtang took a deep breath, and slowly opened his eyes... He might as well have kept his eyes open, but when he opened them, he almost fell to the ground in fright. I saw that the place where he was standing at this moment was actually a round stone cave. Although it is a stone cave, it is covered with long brocade curtains and precious furs on all sides... Even if it is the hall of a rich family, it is nothing more than that, let alone the cave. One table and one table are all carved from bluestone, with different designs and colors, each with its own ingenuity.Some stone tables are shaped like buildings, some reclining chairs are shaped like long bridges, some are low and shaped like farmhouses, and even a round table is carved into the shape of the "Palace of the Emperor of the Night". The cups and cups on the stone table are also ingeniously beautiful, some in the shape of birds, some in the shape of cows and horses, some in the shape of warriors, and some in the shape of naked women.Everything is handmade, but it is ingenious and lifelike, which is something that any rich family can hardly match. What's more - under the brocade tent, beside the stone table, a few feet down, there are more than ten beautiful girls standing. Some of them are wearing light gauze, some are wearing brocade gowns, some are talking and laughing, some are playing chess, some are dressing up, and some are drawing. At this moment, everyone stopped their hands and looked at Tie Zhongtang bewilderedly. Everyone's face was full of astonishment. They didn't know where the boy came from.Tie Zhongtang's eyes were almost dazed, although there were many amazing things about the people he met in his life, but this was the most important thing.For a moment, he was completely stunned, not to mention Ye Di told him not to speak, even if he asked him to speak, he couldn't say a word. Ye Di said: "What about this place?" Tie Zhongtang was still speechless. Ye Di smiled and said, "Now you might as well talk." Tie Zhongtang sighed for a long time and said, "My nephew really doesn't know how to answer." Ye Di laughed and said: "Okay! Okay!" Turning to face the girl, he said with a smile: "This is my sworn brother of Zao'er, you may as well come over and meet." The girls covered their lips and smiled lightly, and some couldn't help but lower their heads. Ye Di laughed and said: "There have been no outsiders here for a long time, and these girls will inevitably become petty, my nephew, don't laugh at me." Tie Zhongtang couldn't help but lowered his head, not daring to answer. Ye Di said: "What are you staring at? Why don't you fix some food and drink, and meet my nephew?" The girls laughed coquettishly and left together. Yedi said: "Sit down." Tie Zhongtang sat down. Ye Di said: "How do you feel when you get here?" Tie Zhongtang raised his head, only to see that the bead curtains on all sides were still swaying slightly, bursts of light laughter like silver bells floated over from the swaying bead curtains.He let out a long sigh again, and said in a low voice: "Little nephew until now, I still don't quite believe it. I don't know if this is really an illusion?" Ye Di laughed and said: "The old man has already said that no matter what the situation is, the members of the Zhu family will try to enjoy themselves." Tie Zhongtang sighed: "The old man is really capable, but... But my nephew has many things that I can't figure out, I wonder if the old man can tell me?" Ye Di said: "If you have any questions, just ask!" Tie Zhongtang said: "I don't know how the old man came here, and how...how did this happen?" He really couldn't find words to describe the surprise in his heart, he could only smile wryly and point around, because since he was imprisoned in the future This place, this place must be a desperate place, but Ye Di can turn this desperate place into a fairyland, isn't it inconceivable. Ye Di smiled and said: "Although you only asked two sentences, but when I explain it, it is really a long story. I wonder if you have the patience to listen?" Tie Zhongtang said: "My nephew is all ears." Yedi smiled slightly, found a comfortable couch and sat down, and began to tell that magical story.I only heard him slowly say: "I have acted in my life, and I am confident that I will never feel guilty, but there is only one thing where I was scolded to pieces, do you know what it is? "Okay! Seeing that you are smiling and silent, you must know it in your heart, but it's hard to say it out loud. In fact, even if you say it, what's the problem? You must know that being romantic is not a shameful thing. As long as you don't have dirty intentions, even if you don't care about it. What's wrong with women in the world falling in love? "In my life, the most fascinating women are those women who are both beautiful and intelligent, because they are the only ones who are loved by the world. Just look at some women who are rough and vulgar, and some women are Elegant as a fairy, the reason why there is such a big difference is that the likes and dislikes of the heavens are different. Since the heavens confer aura on some women, they want people to love them more. This is like good flowers and grasses, beautiful mountains and beautiful water , It is also the same reason for people to appreciate. If someone does not know how to appreciate or cherish these things that are dear to heaven, he is either a vulgar thing, or a fool who wastes everything." He looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and then said: "Fortunately, I am neither a vulgar person nor an idiot. I never dare to waste things. As long as I am a woman favored by heaven, I will definitely love it and treat it as the supreme treasure. Fortunately, I am That wife is not a vulgar thing either, she knows that what I have done is to protect the good women in the world, so that they are not bullied by the wicked. "What is even more fortunate is that as long as you are a good woman, you can know my heart. In fact, only a good woman can know my heart. My greatest wish in life is to become confidantes with all the women in the world, and more May all the good women in the world regard me as a confidant, then life will be near without regrets." He obviously regarded Tie Zhongtang as his nephew, so he spoke without any scruples, but Tie Zhongtang was dumbfounded, and could only smile wryly.Because what he said were all the truths that Tie Zhongtang had never heard before, Tie Zhongtang really didn't know whether what he said was right or wrong.Looking around in a blink of an eye, I saw that the girls had already brought the food and wine, and they were sitting around quietly, all of them were smiling, and they had already listened intently.Obviously, they had heard these words for countless times, but they still listened so intently at this moment, it can be seen that Yedi's words were really touching. The food and wine were really exquisite, Ye Di raised his glass in his hand, suddenly sighed and drank the wine in the glass, Fang Zi then continued: "But among the good women in the world, there is one who is the best , not only did not regard me as a confidant, but also ignored me at all. "This is really the worst thing I hate in my life. Because of this, I went seven days and seven nights without eating or drinking at all. For several months, I didn't know the taste of food, and I couldn't sleep well. Whenever I think of her, my heart is full of pain." It hurt like a needle prick, I wonder if you can imagine my state of mind at that time? "Okay, you still smile and don't say a word. I think you understand my mood at that time. Alas, talking to a smart child like you is also a joy in life. Otherwise, talking to those vulgar things is better than playing the piano with cows and less life. sulking." He talked and talked, talking about some seemingly unreasonable, mysterious and mysterious reasons, and now he changed the topic again, and suddenly asked Tie Zhongtang to drink some fine wine, use some wine, Tie Zhongtang couldn't help it Then he asked again: "I don't know why senior came here?" Only then did Yedi get to the point, and sighed, "Don't be in a hurry, because those words just now seem to have nothing to do with this matter, but they are actually the biggest reason why I came here. "Do you know who the person who is ignoring me is? She is... well, I'm afraid you guessed it right again, she is the day after Everspring Island. If she is ignoring me, it's fine, At most, I would just be sullen. Who would have thought that in the end, she tried her best to persuade all the girls around me, and nine out of ten people left me. "She said that I am not dedicated to love, and I pretend to be romantic, but I am just a womanizer. How does she know my deep affection, how does she know my deep meaning! Can you see that people who love flowers only grow one flower at home? If there is only one flower in the house, it is definitely not a person who loves flowers. This is the same as me. If I am indifferent to women, why do I try my best to keep them by my side and maintain them so hard? Never let them suffer the slightest harm? People who love flowers must always protect flowers, move flowers into greenhouses, roast them in winter, and water them in summer, so that they will not be teased by wild bees or deceived by wild birds. Alas... ...If you are not a flower lover, how can you know the painstaking efforts of the flower protector?" Hearing these words again, Tie Zhongtang was dumbfounded, he couldn't laugh or cry, although he felt that the reasoning didn't make sense, but he couldn't tell where his reasoning didn't make sense. Those young girls were fascinated by what they heard, and some of them were even crying secretly.Tie Zhongtang hurriedly interjected, "That's why the old man rushed to Changchun Island." Yedi said: "That's right. Zao'er was not young at that time, and your aunt was already imprisoned. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I rushed to Changchun Island. In the future, I have already made up my mind for this move. After all, she dared not be alone with me." Dou, she has gathered the strength of more than a hundred masters from all over the island, set up the "Great Zhou Tianjue Formation", and waited for me on the shore. Since we set foot on Changchun Island, she made a vow with me, as long as I If I can break through the 'absolute god formation', she will let me deal with it. If I can't break the formation within three hours, I will completely leave it to her. The sea was very stormy that day, and I was exhausted when I got off the boat. , and three hours is too little. But even though I knew that this oath was extremely unfair, I was tempted by her offer and couldn't refuse it. After the first battle... alas, I ended up here." Tie Zhongtang couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know when the old man is about to leave, did he tell Brother Zhu where he is going?" Ye Di said: "No. But your aunt has always known my intentions, even if I don't tell her, she will know where I am going." Tie Zhongtang sadly said: "The old man did know, it's just..." What he wanted to say was: "It's just that the old man died before she could say it." But he kept these words in his heart. Yedi said: "Just what?" Tie Zhongtang forced a smile and said, "It's just that her old man didn't tell my nephew." Ye Di raised his glass in his hand, stared blankly for a while, and sighed slowly: "I haven't gone back for more than ten years, and she never wants Zao'er to come to me." Tie Zhongtang secretly sighed: "You were wrong this time." After a long while, Ye Difang continued on his own: "After I arrived here, within half a year, I was familiar with all the secret paths in this cave, but after about ten months, I realized that this place is not a dead end, except for the entrance. In addition, there is another stone gap that can lead to the outside, if I want to go at that time, I can go." Tie Zhongtang said: "Why didn't the old man leave?" Yedi said solemnly: "Although a man can conduct himself in the world without sticking to small details, when it comes to big festivals, loyalty, filial piety, trustworthiness, and righteousness must never be lost." Tie Zhongtang said solemnly: "Yes." Yedi said: "As long as I stay here and don't leave, I won't be considered a broken promise; as for how I live here, it depends on whether I have the ability to seek comfort for myself. As long as I have this ability, even if I enjoy myself every day, There is nothing wrong with my heart, it is only because I am determined to suffer here that I am keeping my word." These words were spoken in a righteous and impeccable manner. Tie Zhongtang said: "My nephew understands." But he couldn't help but sighed inwardly: "Although my uncle is romantic by nature, and his arguments are sometimes extreme, but there is a kind of grandeur in his heart, he is indeed the number one in martial arts. The demeanor of a famous hero." As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help showing respect on his face. Yedi smiled slightly, and said: "Shanshan, you already know the following things, why don't you go on and talk about it, or it can be more eloquent." A girl with an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, tall figure, slightly dark complexion, although she is twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old, is still full of youthful and healthy vigor, she looked at her with a smile and said with a sweet smile: "This happened more than ten years ago." , but I will never forget it." Her smile was full of sweet memories of the past, and she began to tell her story. Tie Zhongtang listened even more engrossed in her soft voice. She closed her eyes and spoke slowly: "It was late spring, and Tweety and I would drive the sheep out every day, find a place with water and grass, and read some books while shepherding the sheep. One day, It was dusk, and I was about to go back, when I suddenly heard the voice of poetry reciting from the bottom of the mountain, which was Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing". Someone would be singing poetry at the bottom of the mountain, so I was naturally startled. "But the voice of reciting poems was so elegant, and the poems I read were familiar to me. After listening to a few lines, I was unconsciously stunned. At that time, I thought to myself, even if the person under the mountain is a ghost, it is also a Ya ghost, so Tweety and I plucked up the courage to find out where the sound came from." Her smile was even more touching, and she continued: "You know that girls always have more fantasies than others, that's why we are all looking for Naya ghosts. If we change now, I'm afraid we won't dare. We searched for a long time , only to find that there is a crack in the rock among the chaotic grass, and a pair of eyes are staring at us blankly through the crack. The gaze of these eyes is also so gentle, and there is absolutely no malice in it, so we have the courage to talk to him Let’s talk. From that day on, we have to listen to him every day, because what he said is something we have never heard before, and we can’t help but be fascinated by it. We milk the goat for him every day, He also used stones to carve things for us from time to time, and then Tweety and I both treated him...we all treated him..." Speaking of this, a faint blush appeared on her face, and her radiance was even more radiant. She lowered her head, smiled, and then continued: "Later, we all felt that we could never leave him again, so we took some papers with us. Pens, paintings and some clothes also lived in the cave. Although the cave was not as big as it was at that time, it was already very clean. We accompanied him every day in reciting poems, playing chess and painting. "One day he suddenly asked us to take out the finished paintings and sell them in return for something useful, but he asked me to promise to sell the paintings to girls. But why would a ladylike girl come to the street? Buying paintings, fortunately we are also women, and we can walk around in other people’s boudoirs. We easily sold all seven or eight paintings, and the prices were very high, so we bought some silk, pen and paper, coral, ivory, etc. something back. "Once he not only drew pictures, but also carved some seals, corals, ivory figures and other gadgets, so we sold them again. At that time, we went to the market and bought a few girls we painted earlier. The girl who sent them around is waiting for us on the street every day. It turns out that they have been fascinated by those paintings, and they don’t think about tea or food all day long, just staring blankly at the paintings.”
