As the sun sets over the west mountain, and at nightfall, when the sky has just darkened, in the bamboo forest mansion deep in the mountains, the bright lights begin to light up, illuminating the entire courtyard and the surrounding bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest clearing in front of the mansion gate, a stooped old woman was holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves on the clearing. The old woman was wearing a linen-colored long coat and had a skinny figure. The hands holding the broom looked like they had only a layer of old skin.
The skin is wrapped around the bones, the long hair is as gray and dry as dead grass, the wrinkles on the face are like old tree bark, the eye sockets are sunken, and the pupils of the eyes are white and lifeless.
The whole person looks lifeless, especially with his skinny, mummy-like appearance. If ordinary people saw him, they would probably be scared to death.
At this time, another figure also crossed the bridge over the creek outside the bamboo forest and walked towards this side. The old woman seemed to be attracted by the visitor, so she immediately stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at the visitor.
"Uncle, you are back."
The old woman turned her head, looked at the visitor, bowed slightly and saluted, with a smile on her old face.
"Tree woman."
The visitor also came over, smiled when he heard the words, and called the old woman, with a beautiful smile on his handsome face. It was Lin Tianqi.
"Zhizhi——" "Zhizhi——"
At the corner of the wall, the ginseng essence poked out half of its head from the soil, looked at Lin Tianqi, and made a few squeaking sounds. When Lin Tianqi looked over, he hurriedly hid his body underground, as if
Like a mouse seeing a cat, she was still afraid of Lin Tianqi and Ginseng Jing, but she was a little bolder than before.
Lin Tianqi also smiled when he saw this and didn't pay much attention.
"Has your uncle eaten? Do you want me to ask the maid below to prepare dinner for my uncle? My wife knows that my uncle likes to eat snake meat. She even brought a big snake back last night."
Looking away from Ginseng Essence, Shu Po looked at Lin Tianqi again.
Lin Tianqi was a little moved when he heard this. Speaking of it, after careful calculation, he really hadn't eaten snake meat for a long time. The tree lady didn't say it was okay, but she immediately brought out his greediness.
, but then I thought again, I am going to see Bai Ji and Zhang Qian now, and I don’t know when I will be able to come out after entering the room. Maybe it will only take a day or two to enter, so I said immediately.
"I'm not hungry yet. I'll go see Bai Ji and Xiao Qian first. I'll talk to Shu Po when I get hungry."
When Shu Po heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded. Without another word, Lin Tianqi also stepped into the courtyard.
"Uncle." "Uncle." "......"
When I walked into the courtyard, I met several maids along the way. They were said to be maids, but they were actually female ghosts.
We walked all the way through the front yard, passed several corridors, and arrived at the innermost courtyard of the mansion. In the courtyard was an independent wing, which was where Bai Ji and Zhang Qian usually lived.
"Humph, you still know that when you come back, you won't stay in Tianjin with your little lover."
Almost as soon as Lin Tianqi walked into the door, a soft hum came from the side room, and it was Bai Ji's voice.
When Lin Tianqi heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said.
"Lord Bai Ji, my husband, I know I was wrong."
When he spoke, Lin Tianqi immediately stopped and stood there obediently, like a good baby who admits his mistake.
I couldn't defeat Bai Ji in the first place, but now I am at the disadvantage of not being good.
"Pfft!"
And almost as soon as Lin Tianqi finished speaking, he remembered a chuckle in the side room, it was Zhang Qian's voice.
Then Bai Ji's voice sounded again.
"Now that you know you were wrong, what are you going to do?"
Lin Tianqi thought for a while and said.
"This mistake will be repaid with flesh and blood, let me let you go."
"Bah, who cares about your flesh?"
Bai Ji's voice immediately sounded from the side room, but then she said again.
"Come in first."
Lin Tianqi immediately responded again, obediently pushed the door open and walked into the wing room. Once he entered, he did not come out for two days and two nights, and heard the sound of shengxiao from time to time [100,000 words of the process are omitted].
.............................
"Uncle, your soup."
At night, the moon and stars were sparse. On the third night, at the dining room table in the living room, a delicate-looking maid brought another large piece of Gu stew and put it on the table and said to Lin Tianqi.
"Okay, put it on the table."
Lin Tianqi responded when he heard the words, but his voice sounded a little out of breath, and his whole face looked a little weak, with a look of weakness.
"You go down first and give me the soup bowl."
Zhang Qian said with a smile, gave instructions to the maid, took the soup bowl, filled a bowl for Lin Tianqi, and placed it in front of Lin Tianqi's table.
"Lin Lang, drink it while it's hot. This is a soup that my sister specially caught from the Xishan Mountains and stewed it with tiger penis and ginseng essence."
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he heard this. He felt as if he had to drink something like this every time he came back.
I really want to say, I don’t want it, I’m very strong, but when the words come to my mouth, I can only swallow them back and turn them into um.
Because he is indeed suffering from serious losses now and needs this thing to make up for his losses.
"Hmph, even my sister and I can't be satisfied. Every time afterward, I have to prepare something for you to make soup to replenish your body. You still have the nerve to mess around with women outside."
Bai Ji next to him snorted sarcastically.
When Lin Tianqi heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched again, feeling very stuffed.
Fortunately, Bai Ji did not continue to mock Lin Tianqi and changed the subject.
"Have everyone settled down in the south?"
"Well, everything has been settled. Over in Guangzhou, Master, Xiaojie and the others have settled in Fengshui Town, which is dozens of miles away from Guangzhou on the mountain road. I am in Guangzhou for the time being. After taking control of Wumen this time, I plan to move the entire Wumen to the south.
After the transfer, Guangzhou will be used as a temporary base camp, and I should be back in Guangzhou in the future..."
Lin Tianqi said, moving Wumen from the north to the south was something Lin Tianqi had thought about when he went south. This time, the Qing military order destroyed Wumen's operations in the north, and there was not much left here.
Necessary, and to move the entire Wumen south, Lin Tianqi had a deeper idea. He wanted to develop Wumen abroad.
With an understanding of the history of later generations, Lin Tianqi is very clear that if Wumen continues to develop in the country, it is destined to not be able to achieve much. Whether it is now or in future generations, the development of power organizations in the country will be too restrictive. In this era, the country is weak.
In later generations, organizational power is not allowed at all.
If Wumen wants to develop and grow, if it wants to go further and further, it is undoubtedly the best choice to develop internationally. In this way, the scope of radiation will be farther, and the effect on Lin Tianqi will be greater.
Especially after coming into contact with the Science Society, Lin Tianqi strengthened his idea of developing Wumen internationally.
"Are these ordinary people's forces useful to you?"
When Bai Ji heard this, she said that she didn't understand Lin Tianqi's keenness on developing the power of these ordinary people. In Bai Ji's view, at their level, ordinary people and they are already completely different levels of people, and what ordinary people pursue is
Money, power, etc. are just like dirt to them.
Zhang Qian is also a little confused. After she died and became a fierce ghost, and now she embarks on the road of spiritual practice to become a ghost cultivator, her thoughts and concepts have changed to a large extent compared to before. She is also a little confused about Lin Tianqi's cultivation level.
At this stage, what is the use of developing the power of ordinary people?
The biggest reason why they can't understand this is naturally because the two women don't know about Lin Tianqi's systematic affairs.
As for the system, Lin Tianqi naturally would not tell the two women, but smiled.
"You guys, you really don't know anything about the outside world in the mountains, so don't underestimate ordinary people."
When Bai Ji heard this, she raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction and said.
