Chapter 377 The tiger demon invades the Peach Blossom Temple
"But a tiger that is about to become a monster, even if it has not yet turned on its spiritual intelligence, should not still have animal instincts. How can it block the road and eat people in Fengping Mountain?" Shen Ying was a little curious, "And those hunters have been in the mountain for three days.
Still safe and sound?"
You know, the nose of a tiger that is about to become a monster is not ordinary. Those hunters who wanted to hunt the tiger must have set a trap, and how could the tiger not run into them?
Hou Ping scratched his head, "I don't know this either? How about I go and ask?"
"No, I'm just curious. If those hunters don't die, they're going to die. What do they know?" Shen Ying shook her head.
"Oh." Hou Ping nodded repeatedly, touched the back of his head, and said with a smile, "Then I will go back to the temple to help."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Shen Ying said.
When Hou Ping heard this, he happily ran away carrying the stick.
"After all, I'm still a monkey with an unstable mind. I have to stay in the temple for a while." Shen Ying said with a smile.
The two of them stood side by side not far away from the Peach Blossom Temple, watching the incense in the temple flourishing. Then they saw Zhao Wenrong and his entourage also came to offer incense and pray, contributing a wisp of incense.
…
He had dinner at Taohua Village at noon, and played a few games with Shen Ying in the afternoon. After dinner in the evening, Lu Zheng wanted to go back to the city, but Shen Ying reached out to hold him back.
"Lu Lang, you arranged flowers for me in the morning. Now that it's night, how about enjoying the flowers with me?"
Shen Ying kindly invited her, so Lu Zheng stayed at Peach Blossom Villa for another night and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the peach blossoms in bloom.
…
The next day, Lu Zheng got up early in the morning and was helped by Shen Ying to wash up. He was about to return to Tonglin County. As soon as he went out, he met Zhu Yushan and Li Hanyu.
"Best wishes, brother! Madam sister-in-law!"
Lu Zheng said hello and found that Li Hanyu's expression was fine, but Zhu Yushan's expression was not natural.
"Brother Lu, hello, Madam Sister-in-law." Zhu Yushan bowed his hands in salute.
Li Hanyu took two steps forward, smiled and took Shen Ying's hand, "We wanted to relax, so we're here to bother you again. Don't dislike it, sister."
"Sister, what are you talking about? It's hard for me to leave Taohuaping on weekdays. I wish my sister would come and play with me every day." Shen Ying smiled, then turned to look at Zhu Yushan, "Could it be..."
Lu Zheng blinked and suddenly realized that the local exam had just passed, so he suddenly looked at Zhu Yushan, "Brother Zhu, you..."
"well--"
Zhu Yushan let out a long sigh, "I missed the exam again."
Shen Ying, "..."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"Why this time?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Let’s not talk about being an ordinary person before, but now Zhu Yushan has achieved success in practice. Last time he was in seclusion and forgot the time. What was the reason this time?
Zhu Yushan didn't speak, so Li Hanyu could only explain, "There was a flood a while ago, and my husband helped my father stabilize the Lu River. Later, he had a fight with several monsters who made trouble. Until the Lu River stabilized not long ago, Sanjiang Road asked for help.
My father couldn't move lightly, so my husband and I took a hundred sailors to support us. As a result, we were delayed while we were there. We didn't return until the flood in Sanjiang Road was completely over.
As a result, the day we returned was the day when the state examination started, and when we came back, it was already evening..."
Lu Zheng, "..."
Shen Ying, "..."
"Brother Zhu, my condolences!" Lu Zheng patted Zhu Yushan on the shoulder, "Let's make a comeback next year today!"
Zhu Yushan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still nodded, "Thank you very much. I'm not too sad. I'm used to it."
After a pause, Zhu Yushan continued, "I don't believe it. The Dajing Dynasty can still be prosperous every year. If we continue next year, I don't believe I can't become a scholar!"
"Have ambition!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up.
Zhu Yushan, "..."
He thought that Zhu Yushan had brocade in his chest, poems and books in his belly, and his outstanding literary talent was famous in Yizhou Prefecture. But now he said that he wanted to be a scholar and he became ambitious?
I damn...I really really want to be admitted as a scholar...
Li Hanyu couldn't help but laugh, "So my father asked us to come out to relax, and my mother came with us. She just went to Renxintang and was having a consultation with the Liu family girl."
Speaking of this, Li Hanyu's tone couldn't help but be full of admiration, "The Liu family girl is really kind-hearted and beautiful, and the golden light of her merits is really enviable."
Zhu Yushan and his wife came to relax, so Lu Zheng naturally couldn't say goodbye and leave. Besides, he was fine, so he didn't mention leaving.
As for how to relax...
Is there anything more relaxing than playing mahjong?
There is nothing that one round of mahjong cannot solve. If not, then two rounds.
"Two barrels!"
"eat!"
"Shichijo!"
"bump!"
"fifty thousand!"
"What a fool!"
Li Hanyu showed the remaining four cards in front of him and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for being stupid again, fifty or seventy thousand, give me money."
Zhu Yushan looked at the less than ten copper coins left in front of him, then looked at Lu Zheng, Shen Ying and Li Hanyu, who were all of different sizes, but almost piled up into one pile of copper coins.
Zhu Yushan, "..."
Xiaocui carefully added some tea to Zhu Yushan, "Master Zhu, drink tea to calm down the heat. As the saying goes, you don't lose if you don't leave the gambling table. You'll be lucky and come back next time."
"I'm going to make trouble..."
Zhu Yushan paused and took a deep breath, "Yes, come back!"
…
An hour later, Zhu Yushan lost all the money he had received from Xiaocui in exchange for a thousand coins.
"Sir, miss, lunch is ready. How about we eat first?" Xiaocui said outside the door.
"Okay, let's eat first!"
…
Playing mahjong is actually a very time-consuming entertainment activity. Li Hanyu feels that he has just entered the state and the day is over.
However, Zhu Yushan's mood was obviously much better, because his luck seemed to have changed in the afternoon, and the speed of losing money had slowed down a lot, and he could even play a random game from time to time.
Zhu Yushan expressed his satisfaction, which showed that he was not unlucky.
If this is the case, it means that my chances next year will be great!
The four of them fought until Youshi, when even the tourists in Taohuaping went home, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and ended today's battle.
"Comfortable……"
Li Hanyu pushed the mahjong in front of him away, stood up and stretched, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Zhu Yushan nodded and was about to speak when he saw Shen Ying's expression change.
At the same time, a tiger roar sounded not far to the south.
"Tiger?" Zhu Yushan was stunned.
"Tiger demon!" Li Hanyu said immediately, "How could a tiger demon come to attack! So bold?"
The next moment, a loud roar sounded, and a wave of demonic aura rose into the sky from the Peach Blossom Temple.
"Hou Ping!"
