smile to heart

====================

When Lin Weier had laughed enough of himself, Qi Zhong kindly handed her a glass of water, lest she choke, and he couldn't hear why.

Relaxing the facial muscles after laughing, Lin Weier sighed and explained: "Hey. Brother, don't you know that the fusion of Shangjiang every seven years has already started?"

"Shangjiang fusion? What's going on? When did Tongjiang have such a rule?"

Qi finally couldn't figure it out and asked.

Tongjiang is isolated from the world and is divided into two parts. The upper border is mostly immortal cultivators. Even the ordinary people living in the towns at the foot of the major fairy mountains are descendants of immortal cultivators, while the bottom border is completely immortal. A "mortal territory" with no aura.

"Meeting means that the immortal cultivating families in Shangjiang visit each other, study scriptures together, learn from each other's advantages, and benefit the management of the Immortal Mansion, etc."

With Lin Weier's simple words, Qi Zhong only had a slight impression in his mind.

Nodding his head, Qi Zhong smiled and said, "So that's the case."

"Remember? Senior brother is so stupid." Lin Weier smiled triumphantly, and continued to eat her flower cake.

Qi Zhong frowned and thought for a while, then clicked his tongue: "However, I remember that when I was young, I seemed to have done some kind of integration. At that time, it didn't seem to be as big as it is now, right?"

"Well. It seems to be the same." Lin Weier nodded, "But the rules have been changed this year. The immortals of Jiugai Mountain said that the leading immortal sects under each sect can visit freely, and there is no need to visit one by one. Our family as Changting The largest Immortal Mansion naturally has more people coming to visit us, so there are more times to show the friendship of the landlord, I guess it is because of this that Dad wants to redecorate the house."

"Heh, when you say it like this, old man Lin seems to be in a lot of shabby mind."

Qi Zhong subconsciously muttered.

Lin Weier's ears are sensitive, and when he heard this, his face darkened in a fake way, and a threatening ending sound emerged from his throat: "Huh? Senior brother, are you talking ill of my father?"

"Ah, me, how dare I dare. Uncle Lin is so respected, and it's too late for me to rely on him. How could he say bad things?"

Ridiculousness is all about ridicule. Although Lin Tang is a bit stricter, he is still good to a group of children. Qi Zhong only made a joke.

Lin Weier nodded in satisfaction, and said, "However, the rest of the family has been in a hurry these past few days. I think that no matter how important Dad is to reputation, there is no need to waste the time of the disciples' cultivation to do these things?"

"Could it be that some important person is coming?" Qi Zhong guessed.

Lin Wei'er recalled that when he passed by the attic that day, he accidentally heard the conversation between Lin Tang and Qi Yuxing.

"Oh. I remembered! The fairy gate of our first visit to Changting this time is, it is..."

Lin Weier yelled loudly, his expression filled with excitement.

Qi Zhong blinked and anxiously urged: "Who is it?"

"It's Fufengmu's house!"

"Furthermore, the two most distinguished sons of their family came here this time. They are young, talented, dignified, elegant and humble. They are the dream lovers of thousands of girls!"

Lin Weier's sudden nympho look, if not for Qi Zhong's close friendship with her since childhood, he would have thought that this girl had already met those two young masters who lived in the admiration of others.

"Cut. You haven't seen them before. They boast so well. I'm afraid it's flashy and just spreading rumors."

Qi Zhong said with gusto, lowering his eyes and thinking about his impressions of these two people.

Lin Weier chuckled twice, his cheeks were rosy: "That's not true. I'm telling the truth, brother, don't you know? The third son of the Mu family has already been nominated as the next immortal master of Jiugai Mountain. When he was granted the title of Jin, I secretly followed Dad and the others to see him."

"Did you see that?"

"There are too many people, so I didn't see it. But sister Lu Shutong of Chaisang saw it. She told me that the third son of the Mu family is the most perfect person in the world. He has a very high level of cultivation at a young age, and there is such a big Mu family behind him to support him, so he obviously has the confidence to overwhelm others, but he is convincing others with virtue, and the elders are full of praise for him."

The little girl talked more and more vigorously, but Qi Zhong picked her ears irritably, and said boredly: "Oh, that's great. Is it that powerful?"

"Seeing is believing, little sister, you'd better see the real person before making a conclusion. Senior brother, I have traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, and I am used to seeing those hypocrites who look like dogs, unless this kid really stood in front of me and did something upright." I am so impressed by the big event, otherwise..."

"Heh. Brother, it's fine if you don't believe it. When you see him in the future, don't lose your soul and slap yourself in the face!"

Lin Weier was not happy to refute him, as if someone had poured cold water on his approval.

Qi Zhong held the back of his head, leaned against the pillar behind him, and said with a smile, "Okay. I guess these two guys will have to come tomorrow, and then I'll go and spy on him to see what tricks he has."

"Cut. Senior brother, I advise you not to go. If your father finds out, you will have to be punished again. You also know that this time, in order to entertain them, there will be a lot of battles at home. If the matter of entertaining guests It's messed up, and you're afraid..."

In the last sentence, Lin Weier narrowed his eyes on purpose and threatened softly.

Qi Zhong rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, little junior sister, I'll just take a look at what that kid looks like in the corner."

"Hey, Senior Brother, don't you know what Young Master Mu looks like?"

Lin Weier suddenly became surprised.

Qi Zhong felt baffled and asked, "Should I know what he looks like?"

"Uh, that's right. After all, it's been so many years, it should have changed. It's normal for you not to know."

Lin Wei nodded with an epiphany and didn't say anything else.

Qi Zhong frowned and asked, "Do I know him?"

"Uh uh. I don't know, I don't know, brother, you can think for yourself. I have to practice swords, so I won't talk to you."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Just as he was about to call her to ask for clarification, Qi finally stood up, and Lin Weier had already run out of the courtyard.

He was left alone to ponder: Did I know someone surnamed Mu when I was young?Hiss... It seems that there is a person surnamed Mu who still owes me money, so it could be this kid!

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Zhong got up early, washed himself up, changed into dark clothes on purpose, sneaked behind the pillars in the welcoming room and waited, ready to spy on the person who caused him insomnia last night and didn't even think about it in the middle of the night. , Who is the last name, what is the appearance.

After waiting for a while, Qi finally yawned behind the pillar, looking sleepy.

Suddenly the door of the hall was pushed open heavily, and the light came in, shining on his clothes, causing him to dodge again and again in a panic.

"This way please, two young masters." It was the greeting of the disciples who ushered them in.

When Qi finally heard the movement, he knew that someone was coming.Then he turned around cautiously, quietly revealing a small head, through the curtain, trying to see clearly.

The wind blowing outside the door blew the curtains on both sides of the spacious hall to the left and right, blocking Qi Zhong's sight. After spying for a long time, he only caught a glimpse of the tails of a group of people.

So many people coming in?Which one is that guy?Qi Zhong rolled his eyes, he didn't expect that there were so many feet standing there, after searching for a long time, he found that the two people were blocked by the disciples they brought.

Changting's disciples patiently ushered people into their seats, served tea, and slowly dispersed them.

Qi Zhong smiled happily, and said in his heart: It looks better now.

But just as he was about to turn his back to look northeast on the right hand side, Lin Tang suddenly appeared at the entrance of the upper seat, so frightened that he turned his head back in a hurry, and almost met him face to face.

Then Qi Yuxing also came out slowly, and sat on the upper seat at the same height as Lin Tang.

Qi finally swallowed his saliva, not daring to look back, so he had to wait and see from another angle.

Everyone began to chat politely.

Lin Tang greeted the guests to drink tea with a smile, Qi Zhong sighed in his heart: it is rare to see him so "friendly".

Then, Qi Zhong turned his eyes and landed on the end near the door, a group of young students in white clothes, he was surprised for a moment, recalled the group of foreign monks he met in Qingqiao yesterday, and suddenly became sober: Could it be him?

The image of that idiot suddenly popped up in his mind, Qi Zhong blinked in bewilderment, wanting to confirm more and more.

"Hehe... The two young masters have come all the way from Fufeng, if we are not well-mannered, please be more lenient."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Tang took a sip of tea and replied politely.

"Master Lin, you're being polite. It's not hard to come to see the elders, no matter how far away. What's more, Jing Yao and I are very honored for the hospitality of the two elders."

Mu Xi complimented her like a fish in water with a few words of compliment, and the smile at the corner of Lin Tang's mouth really deepened.

"Master Mu has taken over the Mu family these years, and it seems that he has accumulated a lot of experience. I still remember that when I went to Fufeng three years ago, you were still teaching your cousin to keep accounts at the Huxin Pavilion. If my son can It would be nice to be half as sensible as you are."

Lin Tang sighed quite admiringly, and at the same time praised, he couldn't help but envy other people's children in his heart.

Qi Zhong curled his lips in disdain when he heard this: If Lin Jing had such a brain, would he still be such an arrogant and arrogant person?

"Thank you, Geng Lan, for the praise from Sect Leader Lin. It's just a matter of business, not worth mentioning. Mr. Lin is talented, but he is still young. With a lot of experience in the future, he will have a lot of achievements. Sect Leader Lin doesn't need to be anxious."

"What's more, Geng Lan has long heard that Changting is beautiful, peaceful and harmonious. I think it's because of the orderly governance of the two elders that the people are safe and healthy. I believe that with your teachings, Changting's disciples will definitely become outstanding talents. .”

Mu Xi's every word is on the point of making Lin Tang happy physically and mentally. After all these years of hard work day and night, I still hope that someone will remember and recognize this achievement.

Qi Yuxing also knew what his junior brother was thinking, and kept laughing beside him without saying a word.

Gentle eyes passed over Mu Xi, who was knowledgeable and tactful, and gently fell on Mu Yun, who was silent but listened carefully behind him.

Qi Yuxing brewed his emotions, and asked kindly: "This is the first time for the third son to come to Changting, right?"

Mu Xi didn't expect that the conversation would suddenly turn to Mu Yun, her expression froze, and she quickly recovered her kind smile, and agreed to Qi Yuxing's question first: "Returning to Senior Qi, my cousin has only been out of Jiugai Mountain for a long time. This is the first time I have come here, if there are any inappropriate words, I ask the two elders to forgive me."

It seems to be in the round field, but the sentence of Jiugai Mountain in the words shows his position.

Both Lin Tang and Tang tacitly fell silent for a moment.

They all understand the meaning of Jiugai Mountain, the Immortal Mountain Palace, is the supreme power, everything in Tongjiang depends on the Immortal Mountain to shine, and no one in the world of cultivating immortals wants to sit on the top of the Immortal Mountain.

But this candidate has already been chosen. As the next immortal, Mu Yun, the position of crown prince is indeed worthy of Lin Tang's more consideration and brewing words.

"The eldest son is too worried. The third son is introverted, but he is rigorous and down-to-earth, so what's wrong? Old man, I just care about the younger generation."

Qi Yuxing's tone was flat and kind, he was clearly answering Mu Xi's words, but his eyes were sizing up Mu Yun's expression.

Before Mu Xi could respond, Mu Yun behind him took the initiative to get up and bowed respectfully: "Thanks to seniors for their love, Mu Yun will definitely live up to your appreciation and will do his best to do well in Shangjiang. Seniors, don't worry."

Qi Yuxing nodded in relief, and said with a smile, "Good boy. This is too much courtesy, just sit down and talk."

Good boy?When Qi Zhong heard this compliment from behind the pillar, he pouted in displeasure.

Whenever this old man praised me for being a good boy, he was always a brat.This guy has only been here for a while, and with a few words, he has turned around his two masters?

Mu Xi's face was soothed, and after Mu Yun was seated, he spoke out again to smooth things over: "The elders are laughing, the third brother has always been quiet and quiet, and being recognized by everyone is something to be happy about."

Lin Tang nodded again and again, approving and smiling: "It should be, it should be. In the future, the third son will ascend Jiugai Mountain, and more people will recognize it. I believe that Tongjiang's future will be even brighter."

"I'd like to borrow your words." Mu Xi put the teacup aside, and changed the subject without a trace: "By the way, I heard that Qi Shizun went on a trip before, but he only returned to Changting in the past few years and took in a closed disciple. Never seen it."

"Qi Zhong is a playful kid, he's useless, so don't mention it."

Qi Yuxing's words showed slight irritation, but his face was kind, making it difficult to tell whether he was serious about disliking this apprentice.

Mu Xi chewed these words in her heart, thinking that if she was really a naughty boy, how could she be worthy of being accepted as a closed disciple by the second master in Shangjiang?Among them, the origin is not shallow, Mu Xi was coldly shocked when he thought of the old man.

After balancing his emotions, he said with a gentle smile: "I think Mr. Qi should be a man of temperament, so he doesn't like to be restrained. Elder Qi doesn't need to be angry. With your guidance, he has a bright future."

After calmly and politely finishing these investigation questions, half of the purpose of Mu Xi's trip was achieved.

In fact, the question just now is redundant.Mu Xi acts cautiously, what information did she not find comprehensively when she came here?This question is more or less tentative, but Master Qi Zhong is not a good person, so he has a trick to accept.

Lin Tang got his brother's wink, and coughed twice: "Drink tea, drink tea."

Behind the pillar, Qi Zhong's expression changed a lot, from being indignant and unhappy at Master's disgusting words at one moment, to astonishing at others' praise.

As for Mu Yun, who was obediently sitting on the side, when he heard Qi Zhong's name, he also subconsciously concealed it in his heart for a moment, feeling quite familiar.

The breeze was blowing gently, blowing the curtains and veils, Mu Yun couldn't help but glanced at the black clothes exposed under the red pillars on the opposite side.

His eyes wandered along the height of the pillar, and the moment he raised his eyes, he happened to meet the man's gaze back in the gaps in the fluttering veil.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Qi Zhong was suffocated.

His mind was blank for a long time, he blinked, turned around immediately, and said in his heart: What happened, what happened, this kid found me.

Seeing Qi Zhong dodging in panic, Mu Yun looked away lightly, without saying much, but he knew in his heart: it was him.
