Journey To the World of Film and Television

Chapter 378 Another brother-in-law?

"Everyone knows the origin of Princess Sui Zhu's title, but who can see the Panwan beads and associate it with Princess Sui Zhu's two night pearls?" Zhou Ji took the flowerpot back and looked at Zhao Kai With a half-smile, he said, "Could it be that Brother Zhao has met Princess Sui Zhu, or is he acquainted with her?"

Zhao Kai nodded when he heard the words, showing a self-deprecating wry smile, "To tell you the truth, I am actually the illegitimate son of His Majesty today, because I am not welcome in the palace, so I came to Shangyin Academy."

Xu Xiao is the confidant of the Liyang royal family, and Xu Weixiong is Xu Xiao's daughter.

Oh~ it's not easy~

Thinking of the respective positions of the two, Zhou Jing brain made up a twists and turns drama about the rich and bloody aunt.

He glanced at Zhao Kai with some regret, and wanted to pat him on the shoulder to encourage him, but found that his hands were occupied by something, so he handed him the stone bead in his left hand.

Zhao Kai showed doubts on his face, until Zhou Ji pushed the stone bead forward again, then took the stone bead, and then looked at the generous palm patted on his shoulder.

"come on!"

Zhou Jiao nodded, gave a thumbs up, and took back the two stone beads in Zhao Kai's palm.

"Come on...?" Zhao Kai didn't know why, but he could see the meaning of encouragement and support from Zhou Ji's actions, and he was immediately touched.

As the illegitimate son of Emperor Liyang who had abandoned the people, his master brought him into the palace because of his mother's kindness, forcing His Majesty to admit his identity.

Since then, both he and the great master have been alienated and neglected by the Liyang royal family.

From childhood to adulthood, he suffered from other princes making things difficult for him in the palace, and even his master couldn't always protect him.

Now he receives encouragement from Zhou Ji, which warms his heart.

I was moved but also somewhat regretful.

After taking it and just touching it, he has confirmed that these two beads, which look very similar to night pearls, cannot emit light by themselves.

"It would be great if Zhao Fengya gave you her beads."

Zhou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and vaguely saw the shadow of Xu Fengnian from Zhao Kai's expression.

You don't want to mess up the mandarin ducks again, do you?

Zhou Ji put away the stone beads and interrupted, "Here, did you see that?"

Zhao Kai looked puzzled, and looked at the flower pot in Zhou Ji's hand, "What do you see? A potted plant?"

"I'm old. This is my wife." Zhou Ji said with a straight face, "Although I don't know what's going on in your head, I can tell you honestly that I'm married,"

"." Zhao Kai couldn't help laughing, thinking that Zhou Ji was deliberately making excuses, but he himself was also talking nonsense, so he changed the subject and talked about the customs along the river and the daily life of Shangyin Academy.

The merchant ship sailed to Xiangfan, Zhao Kai disembarked and entered the city due to some private matters, Zhou Ji continued to go northward, and it took another ten days to reach the foot of Wudang Mountain.

Different from the Wudang in Zhou Ji's impression, which stretches for 800 miles and has seventy-two peaks towards the top, the Wudang in this world is a sacred place of Taoism in the former dynasty, and it stabilizes at the top of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, but after the establishment of the Liyang Dynasty , the relationship between Longhu and the Liyang royal family is quite ambiguous, and then suppressed Wudang, making Longhushan the ancestral home of Taoism.

The green hills are steep and green.

Zhou Ji climbed up the mountain gate along the quiet path, and saw a young Taoist grazing cattle in the corridor and pavilion on the side of the mountain gate from a distance, so he walked up to him and said hello, and asked Xu Longxiang and Xu Fengnian if they had ever gone up the mountain.

Maybe it's because he's been on the mountain for a long time, maybe it's just his personality. This young Taoist named Hong Xixiang looks simple and dull, like a terminally ill patient with social fear.

Hearing Zhou Ji mention Xu Fengnian, Hong Xixiang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced outside the mountain gate, as if he was very afraid that Xu Fengnian would come.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Ji couldn't help being a little curious. First, why he was afraid of Xu Fengnian, and second, because Hong Xixiang had a vaguely familiar feeling.

Seems familiar, similar to but different from the Sangsang I saw in my dream.

Not long after, an old Taoist with a sense of demeanor came over, stroking his beard, and said: "Wang Chonglou, the head of Wudang, the poor Taoist, I don't know why the young master is looking for the little prince and the son?"

Zhou Ji bowed to Wang Chonglou and told him that he and Xu Fengnian had made an appointment to meet in Wudang before. The cultivation level transitioned to Xu Fengnian, and it was also the tacit understanding between him and Xu Xiao. Knowing the purpose of Zhou Ji's trip, he said gently, "My son will go up the mountain in these two days. If you agree, you can stay in Wudang first, and wait for your son to go up the mountain."

Zhou Ji thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Then I will bother Daoist Chang Qingxiu."

"Junior brother, you should take Mr. Zhou up the mountain first." Wang Chonglou nodded slightly, turned and left.

Hong Xi let out an 'oh', tied the green bull under the tree with some reluctance, and walked up the mountain with Zhou Ji.

Due to the suppression of Longhu Mountain, Wudang declined further and further. Nuo Da Wudang Mountain had only 20 or 30 disciples left.

Zhou Ji did not choose to live in the temple, but found a small bamboo house in the forest to live in. Early the next morning, he felt a familiar wave of true energy coming from the mountain road. From a distance, the forest was It wasn't that there was a figure moving around, and after chasing it out, I found that Xu Fengnian, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, was chasing the young Taoist Fatty who I saw yesterday.

Hong Xixiang had never practiced any martial arts, so he was naturally helpless when he was beaten. Lao Kui stood aside dumbfounded, pointed at Hong Xixiang who was beaten by Xu Fengnian on the ground, looked at Wang Zhonglou and said, "This is Your fellow apprentice?"

Wang Chonglou stroked his beard and said, "No accident, Wu should be the current head."

"How much hatred does that have? Even the current head of Wu wants to chase the hammer?" Zhou Ji came from the mountain road and landed in front of everyone.

Hearing Zhou Ji's voice, Xu Fengnian gave Hong Xixiang another old punch, then he lifted his head and got up and said angrily, "He betrayed my elder sister!"

"Another brother-in-law?" Zhou Ji frowned, looked down at Hong Xixiang, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and said with his tongue, "That's really a person who can't be judged by his appearance."

Hong Xixiang felt ashamed in his heart, got up and slipped to the side of Wang Chonglou, and dared not face Xu Fengnian directly with his back on his back.

Xu Fengnian became more and more annoyed as he watched, until finally he became angry and helpless, turned to look at Zhou Ji, and said in surprise, "Didn't you go to Tai'an? Why did you come to Wudang so early?"

Zhou Ji shook his head and sighed softly, "When I arrived in Tai'an, I found that the things I wanted to be in were not there, so I returned to Beiliang along the waterway."

When Lao Kui saw Zhou Ji, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

Ever since he was kicked by Zhou Ji head-on, he seemed to have cast a psychological shadow. As early as when he was in the general's mansion, he began to avoid Zhou Ji far away.

Now the two-month deadline has long passed, and he has already safely sent Xu Fengnian to Wudang. After Hong Xixiang settled Xu Fengnian in another small courtyard not far from the bamboo garden, the old man slipped into the mountains alone, saying I have to find a place to live by myself.

Looking at the old leader who ran away from Zhang panic, Xu Fengnian laughed dumbly, lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Zhou Ji, looked at Hong Xixiang who was sitting on the other side who took the initiative to pick up the cup, turned his head and poured himself a cup, and put the teapot down heavily. to the table.

Zhou Ji found out yesterday that Hong Xixiang seemed to be very afraid of Xu Fengnian, and Xu Fengnian said just now that he betrayed his eldest sister, Zhou Ji became more curious, so he asked what happened.

The story is not complicated, because Wudang Mountain is located in Beiliang, and the Xu family often came to Wudang. During the time, Xu Fengnian's eldest sister, Xu Zhihu, fell in love with this little Taoist priest named Hong Xixiang, but Hong Xixiang He still refused to go down the mountain, and finally Xu Zhihu was married to Jiangnan, where he married the Lu family in Jiangnan.

Zhou Ji sighed softly, and even the vines on the table stopped, quietly listening to Xu Fengnian's narration.

When Xu Fengnian talked about the reason why he refused to go down the mountain, Hong Xixiang tightly held the teacup in his hand, held the pig's head that was bruised and swollen by Xu Fengnian's hammer, and said seriously: "I will become the number one in the world."

Xu Fengnian had already had enough of his rhetoric, and said coldly, "Then you are learning martial arts?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Hong Xixiang suddenly showed confusion, shook his head, and remained silent.

Zhou Ji recalled Sangsang in the dream world, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were serious.

He used his spiritual sense to scan and record the collection of books in Tingchao Pavilion, plus Lao Huang once told him the legend of opening the gate of heaven at the peak of martial arts.

Perhaps there is no such thing as Haotian Will in this world that is prone to destroy the world, but the feeling brought to him by Hong Xixiang is very similar to the chaos when Sangsang is about to wake up Haotian Will.

"Then keep thinking about it." Xu Fengnian didn't know about this, seeing that Hong Xixiang was still so perfunctory, he was already very disappointed in his heart, so he didn't want to say any more.

"Leaving that aside, the most important thing right now is Huang Man'er. I plan to take him back to Beiliang. Old Zhou, can you help me?" Xu Fengnian said in a deep voice.

Zhou Ji sighed, "It's possible, but what about after you go back? You can't stay with him forever, can you?"

"Why not?" Xu Fengnian subconsciously retorted.

"Then you plan to lock him up with an iron chain?" Zhou Ji sneered, shaking his head, "With your current strength, you can't protect him at all. You are the son of Beiliang, not Rentu Xu Xiao, Beiliang has 300,000 yuan. You can't mobilize an iron cavalry, and lightness kung fu can help you avoid the troubles of the world, but it can't solve these troubles."

Xu Fengnian didn't know what Zhou Ji said, when the eldest sister got married and the second sister left home, when did he not want to protect his family, but how often did he do it?

Just relying on the momentary stern words, in the end, there is still nothing to resist.

Strength, power.

One of the two must be obtained, and only then can one have enough confidence to protect the person one wants to protect.

Looking at Xu Fengnian's flickering eyes, Zhou Ji stood up proudly, throwing his sleeves behind him.

"It's okay, you can spend more time with Huang Man'er these few days, no one can touch him until you make a decision."

Walking to the door, there was a faint "thank you" from behind. Zhou Ji paused, turned around and turned back. Under the watchful eyes of Xu Fengnian and Hong Xixiang, he carefully picked up the flower pot, hugged it in his arms and headed out the door go.

After Zhou Ji left, Xu Fengnian was silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice, "Hong Xixiang, take me to see Huang Man'er."

In the purple bamboo forest behind the slope, the reunion of brothers is touching.

In the small Zhuyuan courtyard in front of the slope, the air was dull, and Si Teng barked his teeth and claws.

snap~

A crisp sound broke the dullness, and the buds that popped out from the vine branches hit Zhou Ji's forehead hard. Although it didn't hurt him at all, Zhou Ji still acted like he was knocked back and left red marks. He smiled wryly and said, "I really didn't do it on purpose. Usually, I rarely have the opportunity to show myself in front of people. After finally pretending to be once, I accidentally forgot you."

It's okay if you don't explain it, but Si Teng became angry again when he explained it.

The most angry thing is not that Zhou Ji forgot about her, but that she herself has been trained from the Han tribe to the ancient monster tribe, and now she is just a white vine bud. Even though Zhou Ji treats her better and better, she has a slight tendency to lick her. But he's also gotten better at making her angry, and she can't even speak back.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, Xu Fengnian went out in too much haste this time, and he didn't have time to bring too much luggage. In addition, the vegetarian food in Wudang Temple was really not oily, and he only ate in the temple for two days. Unable to hold on, he came to Zhou Ji to eat and drink.

Looking at the pheasants and hares on the table, Xu Fengnian's eyes were almost green. When he was eating, he even quietly took a chicken leg, wrapped it carefully in lotus leaves, and put it in his arms.

Dare to steal in front of the thief.

Seeing this, Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't it a little too much for you to eat and take?"

Xu Fengnian smiled embarrassingly, patted the lotus leaf in his arms and said, "Wudang's Vegetarian Cuisine doesn't have much oil. Huang Man'er has been staying on the mountain to eat vegetarian food. I want to keep it for him."

Zhou Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect Xu Fengnian to say that at all.

There was a warm smile in his eyes, and Zhou Ji felt inexplicably envious.

As if feeling Zhou Ji's emotions, a few strands of vines stretched out from the vine beside the table, wrapped around Zhou Ji's sleeves, attached to the side of Zhou Ji's face, and quietly stuck to his ears.

While Xu Fengnian was cooking, he inadvertently saw vines floating on the table, subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Zhou Ji whose face was covered with vines, the chopsticks hanging in the air fell to the ground, and Xu Fengnian's whole body jumped upwards. , hiccupped.

'hiccup~'

'hiccup~'

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Hi~! It's okay, I just got sick from fright, and it will be fine in a while ~ hiccup~." Xu Fengnian waved his hand, signaling Huang Man'er not to worry about himself, and couldn't help but hiccup again after speaking.

Xu Longxiang hurriedly helped Xu Fengnian to a stream in the mountains, stroked his back and gave him comfort.

"By the way, brother, wait for me first." Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Xu Longxiang raised his sleeves and ran towards the purple bamboo forest not far away.

Xu Fengnian drank a few mouthfuls of mountain spring to suppress his reaction, and then he recovered. He patted his forehead and took out a lotus leaf bag from his bosom, intending to surprise Xu Longxiang when he came back.

From the corner of his eyes, he happened to see Xu Longxiang running towards him holding a few wrapped bamboo leaves. Xu Fengnian lifted the lotus leaf bag and shook it towards Xu Longxiang. what's up"

Xu Fengnian's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally his eyes fell on the bamboo leaves in Xu Longxiang's hands.

"Brother~!" Xu Longxiang showed a pure and silly smile, and unfolded the thick bamboo leaves, revealing a chicken leg wrapped inside.
