Chapter 997 Where Did Brother Zhu Get the Mural? Where Did the Monk Come From?
Chapter 997 Brother Zhu~ Where did the mural come from? Where did the monk come from?
"Brother Hao, morning!" As soon as Hao Shuai put away the Hundred Flowers Picture, Zhu Xiaolian came in from the back room while rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes.
"Brother Zhu, it's already late, the sun is already three in the sky now." Hao Shuai pointed to the sun outside and said.
"Ah?" Zhu Xiaolian ran to the door of the palace in disbelief, looked at the red sun hanging in the middle, and said speechlessly: "How could it be? I always get up early!"
"Brother Zhu, it's normal to take a nap or two from time to time." Hao Shuai said in a funny tone.
Why did Zhu Xiaolian sleep until now?
That's because it was just early morning when Hao Shuai came out of the painting wall. Later, in order to refine the Hundred Flowers Picture with peace of mind, he cast a sleep spell on Zhu Xiaolian's master and servant, making them sleep until now.
"Is it true that I'm just too sleepy?!" Zhu Xiaolian didn't have any doubts and walked back to the main hall, minding his own business, "Hey, why is this mural missing?"
At this time, he happened to see the blank walls on both sides of the hall and suddenly exclaimed.
"Mural? What mural? Brother Zhu is probably asleep, right?" Hao Shuai looked confused.
"Mural~~" Zhu Xiaolian pointed to the wall emotionally and gestured up and down: "There is a mural of a fairy on it!!"
"Brother Zhu, listen to what I said, you should marry your housewife when you go home this time!" Hao Shuai patted Zhu Xiaolian on the shoulder and said, "Look at how you hold it in~~ your eyes are hallucinating."
"She's still a fairy~~"
"If you find it troublesome, you can go to the Fireworks Land to find a young lady to relieve your loneliness."
"What are you talking about! Brother Hao!!" Zhu Xiaolian was a little anxious. He happened to see his book boy Hou Xia also walking into the hall, and hurriedly shouted: "Hou Xia~Hou Xia~~, come here quickly."
"Ah? Oh!" Hou Xia was startled for a moment, then walked quickly to Zhu Xiaolian and replied: "Master, what did you call me for?"
"Hou Xia, do you remember that we stood here and saw a beautiful wall before?" Zhu Xiaolian asked Hou Xia.
"Hmm, eh? Where are the murals?" Hou Xia, who was sleeping dazedly, also realized at this time. He stepped forward and groped the wall in confusion, and asked in surprise: "Where did the murals go??"
"Brother Hao, look at it!! Hou Xia also said there are murals." Hou Xia's reaction strengthened Zhu Xiaolian's confidence, and he continued: "I'll go find Master Fudo and ask him what's going on."
After saying that, Zhu Xiaolian planned to go to the back room.
"What master?" Hao Shuai stopped Zhu Xiaolian and said in confusion: "Isn't this Lanruo Temple just the three of us and my maid, Fourteenth Mother? How can there be such a fugitive master?!"
There really is no immovable master~~
Just before Zhu Xiaolian and the others woke up, Fu Fu had already taken his aunt to travel around the world, staying and flying together!
"Ah~~" Zhu Xiaolian felt that his brain was about to explode. He said emotionally: "How can there be no master? It's the master who welcomed us in yesterday!"
"Brother Zhu, do you think we will encounter anything supernatural?" Hao Shuai suddenly looked at Zhu Xiaolian and asked seriously.
"No way?!" Zhu Xiaolian tensed up at Hao Shuai's words and looked around hurriedly.
Although Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos, as a scholar he shouldn't believe this, but Zhu Xiaolian also knows that the world is unfair now, demons and monsters are rampant in the world, and it is normal to encounter supernatural things.
"No matter what, Brother Zhu, there is something strange here. If we have rested, let's hurry up." Hao Shuai was too lazy to continue to pester here and decided to leave.
"Brother Hao Shuai makes sense, let's set off!" Zhu Xiaolian also felt that this place was a bit strange. After hearing Hao Shuai's suggestion, he immediately asked Hou Xia to pack his things.
Later, Hao Shuai called Fourteenth Mother who was preparing lunch, and the four of them hurriedly left Lanruo Temple.
…
Because of the addition of two ordinary people, Master and Servant Zhu Xiaolian, the speed of Hao Shuai and Xin Shisi Niang naturally slowed down.
In fact, just slow down! Hao Shuai was not in a hurry anyway.
On this day, the four of them arrived at a small town before dark.
After entering the city, the four people, who had been sleeping outdoors for two days, came to the only inn in the town.
After settling in, Zhu Xiaolian couldn't wait to order a table of delicious food, and also ordered a jar of good wine to entertain Hao Shuai. Firstly, he felt that Hao Shuai had taken good care of him in the past few days, and secondly, it was a good reward for himself.
During the banquet, the two of them were eating and drinking while talking about knowledge, and Zhu Xiaolian frequently raised his glass to toast Hao Shuai.
He is not stupid. After getting along with him in the past few days, he knows that Hao Shuai is a man of great ability and knowledge. It will not be bad to have a good relationship with Hao Shuai.
When Hao Shuai reaches the position of strength, making friends no longer cares about strength and position. To paraphrase Xiao Wang's famous saying: When I make friends, I don't care whether they have money or not. They are not as rich as me anyway!
He mainly depends on his eyesight.
Zhu Xiaolian has a very funny face, he is quite funny, and his conversation is elegant. Hao Shuai has nothing to do, so I really don't mind chatting and drinking with him.
While the two were pushing cups and changing cups, suddenly there was a noise outside. They turned around and saw that there were four traveling merchants outside the inn who wanted to stay, but they quarreled with the shopkeeper for some unknown reason.
Hao Shuai, who had sharp ears, listened for a while and got a general idea. In fact, it was just four people who wanted to stay in the hotel, but the shopkeeper said there were no rooms.
This inn was the only inn in the town. If there was no room, the four people would have to sleep on the street. This made the four merchants unwilling to leave no matter what, so they started to quarrel.
The shopkeeper, who had no choice, hesitated and said, "These four guests, if you insist on staying, I do have a room here, but I don't know if you are willing."
"When you are away from home, it's enough to have a place to stay. There are no so many conditions." The one who spoke should be the leader of the four people, who replied with a happy face.
"My daughter-in-law just died, and the coffin is still in the utility room in the backyard. If you don't mind, you can make do for one night, and I won't charge you for the room." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said it.
"Okay!" The four merchants looked at each other, discussed for a while, and turned around to agree with the shopkeeper.
Hao Shuai didn't care much about the conversation between the four people and the shopkeeper, and invited Zhu Xiaolian to continue drinking.
...
In the dead of night, in the small town, the barking of local dogs could be heard faintly. If you were alone in the wilderness, it would be really scary.
The whole inn was quiet. If you listened carefully, you could even hear snoring coming from not far away.
Time kept moving forward, and before we knew it, it was already past midnight. In the backyard of the inn, a strange "crackling, crackling" sound suddenly came. In the silence of the night, it was particularly obvious, especially for a master cultivator like Hao Shuai with extraordinary hearing.
"Hmm?" Hao Shuai, who was sleeping soundly with Shaoyao Mudan in his arms, groaned, and slightly closed his eyes. In the darkness, an invisible divine thought swept across the backyard of the inn.
