Chapter 395: The Love-Hate Relationship of Senior Brother 3

Chapter 395 The Love-Hate Relationship of the Third Senior Brother Not long after walking, the Ziyun County Government Office appeared in front of them. Next to it is the official post station, which is vacant. Lin Jue didn't hesitate and walked in directly. The third brother followed behind, leading the horse. As he walked, he sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few years. Fuyao has grown so big. My horse was almost scared to death by it. How much food does it have to eat in a day..." Fuyao jumped over the threshold and turned to look at him. He saw the two people in front of him stop at the door, turn around and look at him and the horse behind him, especially the horse's back, who seemed to remember something at the same time and asked: "Brother, you haven't told me yet, where have you been these years?" "Where is the woman in red that night? That Princess Hua! Why wasn't she with you?" They were both concerned and curious. "Ok?" The third brother had a bad feeling: "Did the elder Lian tell you this? Didn't I tell him not to tell you?"

As soon as the words came out, the two of them looked at each other. "Brother, please speak quickly." "Yes! Brother, please tell me now!" The junior fellow apprentice and his parrot, two pairs of eyes stared at him. The third senior brother's face rarely turned red. "It's a long story..." "No hurry, take your time." Lin Jue said, "According to fellow Taoists from Zhenjian Palace, although two True Lords have joined hands to eliminate the monsters, the Queen Mother of the East is also very difficult to deal with. It will not be a matter of one day or one night. We may have to guard here for a long time. There is plenty of time to listen to what Senior Brother has to say. It's better to tell us in detail." "Senior brother is right!" "Why don't you tell us about your experiences first?" the third brother said uncomfortably. "What experience do we have? Besides, haven't we heard about it, senior brother?" Lin Jue said. "We want to hear what Third Senior Brother has to say first." The younger sister said, "Otherwise we can raise our hands to vote and see who speaks first. The minority will obey the majority." "you two……" The third senior brother looked at them, tied up the horses, and walked into the lobby of the official post station. He found a table and sat down. He also took out a bowl, took out the wine gourd and poured wine to drink. "Did Senior Brother tell you that I wrote in the letter that the female ghost actually had other intentions?" "said." "said!" The two said in unison. "? How come this idiot says everything?" The third brother was speechless. "Brother, please don't interrupt."

"Anyway, after I got away from there, I angered her with my words, and she has been chasing me relentlessly." The third brother shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't do anything to her, but I thought that after all, she let us stay overnight and treated us to delicious food and drinks. Although she wanted to use us to help her escape from the control of Xiyue Mansion, it was not excessive. On the contrary, my words... Hey, junior brothers and sisters, you also know your senior brother. I have always been generous and say whatever I want..." Neither Lin Jue nor his junior sister responded. The third brother continued to shake his head and said: "I have no choice but to hide from her. "What can I do... "What happened that night was a lie, but I am handsome, powerful, chivalrous, and highly skilled. As she pursued me, she actually developed feelings for me..." The younger sister was stunned and scratched her head: "What happened next? Did my brother and her get married?" "Get married? Me? I am a free and easy person by nature! I am free and unrestrained, I sing and dance to my heart's content. How could I be trapped by love and get into such trouble? Wouldn't that affect my freedom?" The third brother poured a large bowl of wine into his stomach and said, "I will never agree to her!" "what?" The junior sister was immediately shocked. "continue." Lin Jue listened carefully. "Alas, this woman is very difficult to deal with. She keeps chasing me. I don't know if she wants my body or my life." The third brother sighed, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "She pursued me for half a year, and I avoided her for half a year. But one day, she told me that she could let me go and stop pestering me. I could do whatever I wanted. But back then in that wasteland, she really treated us with good intentions. Although she wanted to use us, she didn't force us. On the contrary, it was because I was disrespectful and teased her with words that she pursued me for so long. If I want her to let me go, I must agree to her three conditions." "Which three conditions?" The junior sister was stunned. "The first one is to get rid of the Alligator Dragon King. She said that the Alligator Dragon King killed her former husband, the Weishui River God." said the third senior brother. "She didn't originally plan to marry into Weishuihe, right?" Lin Jue interrupted. "How could I not know? She just thinks that the Alligator Dragon King has some abilities and wants me to retreat." "I think so." "But I think this condition is reasonable, and exorcising demons is the job of cultivators like me. If the crocodile king is not eliminated, it will cause chaos, and maybe the Lord of Xiyue will force her to marry the monster again. So I agreed." The third brother said, "But when I returned to Weishui River, I found that the crocodile had been eliminated by my two junior brothers and sisters." "Does this still count?" "Of course forget it!" "What about the second one?" "The second condition is that she used to live in Xiyue and had always heard that there were many famous mountains and rivers in the world with beautiful scenery. She always wanted to go and see them, but she couldn't. This is her obsession. If it is not eliminated, whether she returns to Xiyue to spend the rest of her life or is married to another god or monster, she will never be willing to die. So she asked me to take her to see a tour." The third brother said, "I think this condition sounds reasonable. In addition, I originally planned to travel around the world and travel all over the mountains and rivers. It doesn't take much trouble to agree to it, so I agreed." "So, senior brother has taken her to travel all over the country, from north to south, from the western regions to the eastern land in the past few years?" the younger sister said, scratching her head. "Yes." "That sounds weird... weird..." The junior sister scratched her head for a long time, but couldn't think of how to describe it, so she could only say, "It's really fun." "No wonder Senior Brother has traveled to so many places in the past few years. We thought he was being hunted by her the whole time." Lin Jue said, lost in thought, "Let me guess the last condition. Could it be that she hasn't thought it through yet and hasn't told Senior Brother yet?" "Huh? How do you know?"

"Aren't stories like this often told in the rivers and lakes down the mountain and in the taverns in the city?" Lin Jue said. "That's true. This female ghost had heard many wonderful stories from the human world before. She thought they were beautiful and yearned for them, so she often imitated them." The third senior brother said with a headache. "Isn't this wonderful?" Lin Jue said with a smile. "Brother, you have taken her all over the country for such a long time. Don't you have developed any feelings for her?" asked the younger sister. "What are you talking about! There is no such thing as love. You are a Taoist nun, what can you understand?" The third brother rolled his eyes at them and said, "I want to travel the world and enjoy the freedom of heaven and earth!" "But, but Third Brother, haven't you been wandering around the world with her for several years?" The younger sister discovered a problem and raised it bluntly. "Junior sister is right. She is not stopping you from enjoying yourself. On the contrary, she can enjoy herself with you." Lin Jue said, "She seems to have a palace, many dowries and servants. If you take her with you, it's like you have a palace and many servants. You don't have to worry about food, clothes, or wine. You can even have singers and dancers to entertain you when you drink. Isn't that better?" "This……" The third brother was stunned by what he said. He thought carefully for a long time before saying, "Anyway, I am still single and will never get involved in such troubles." Lin Jue knew it as soon as he heard it—— This senior brother is very stubborn. Let’s not talk about Princess Hua’s appearance, abilities, and personality for now. Let’s just say that the two of them traveled together, from north to south, from the east to the west, over a period of several years. How could they not have any feelings for each other? Traveling together is not easy. If there was no affection and we couldn't get along, we would have separated halfway through these years. Moreover, Lin Jue could tell from what he heard that there was no such thing as “I think this condition is reasonable”, “It’s not a special agreement”, “It’s just something that happens”, or “It’s not a big deal”. This Third Brother must have already developed feelings for her before he agreed, otherwise he would not have agreed no matter what. And these three conditions, traveling around the world, are nothing but Princess Hua's schemes and means. It is even possible that Third Senior Brother came here and Queen Mother of the East had information about the Great Yin-Yang Method. This was also the idea of ​​Princess Hua, who wanted him to see his own heart clearly through getting along and supporting each other. The junior sister was still scratching her head, very confused. Then she seemed to think of something, and glanced at the Third Senior Brother, then turned her head and looked at the bag on the horse in the yard: "No, didn't they say that she followed the Third Senior Brother to Ziyun County? Isn't there one condition that hasn't been fulfilled yet? She can't be with the Third Senior Brother, but because it's daytime now, so the Senior Brother put her somewhere?" "? How do you know?" The third senior brother felt that this junior sister seemed to have become smarter. But this made him feel a little embarrassed. "Because Third Brother practices the Bean Soldier Technique, he needs to collect the remaining souls' obsessions. Doesn't Third Brother often use a bottle to hold the remaining souls? I learned this from you. And I also keep other ghosts, which are also placed in a small seal and carried on my body." "..." "Why don't you call her out to have a look?" The little sister looked at him blankly and boldly guessed, "Brother, are you afraid of her?" "..." The third brother was helpless, but also free and easy. He stood up and took the bag from the horse's back. There was a small dressing box inside, also made of mother-of-pearl craft. He put it on the table and knocked it a few times.

The dressing box opened automatically. The two brothers and sisters and the fox Caili first stared at the dressing box, then suddenly turned around and saw that a beautiful woman in red was standing behind them. It looks no different from before. The third senior brother said from behind: "These are my junior brothers and sisters. Do you remember them? I just happened to meet them here today." "No need to say more. I'm just hiding from the sun in the box, it's not that I can't hear you talking." The red-dressed woman said lightly, then turned around and looked at Lin Jue and the little apprentice sister, smiled slightly, bowed, and the first thing she did was to apologize for what happened in the past: "At the beginning, I was eager to avoid marriage and escape my father's control. I happened to meet you and wanted to use you. I am very rude, please forgive me." Lin Jue also stood up and returned the greeting. Then I couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Although we have heard similar stories in the underworld and in the restaurants in the city, the reason why these stories are so popular and enduring is that they are ingenious, interesting and fascinating in their own way. If Third Brother’s experiences over the past few years were written into a book, it would probably attract a lot of people, right? It really fulfilled what "Empress Yaohua" said - “It is fate and blessing, not disaster or misfortune. "Whether it is clever or ingenious, it is hard to tell at the moment." (End of this chapter)
