Ancient towns are different from modern times. After sunset, the ancient city gates will be closed. Unless there is an emergency in the government, no one is allowed to enter and exit at night. When Zuo Xiaoyou and Zhao Linger entered the city, the city gates had just been closed. Fortunately, there was money to open the way, otherwise Zhao Linger would have to experience the feeling of sleeping in the open on the first night after leaving Xianling Island.

After entering the city, the two went straight to Linjiabao.

Unlike before, a large high platform was set up in front of the gate of Linjiabao, and the platform was laid on the red carpet, which looked very bright. A red banner was hung on the front side of the platform with four large characters written on it.

"Martial competition to attract brides." Zhao Ling'er saw these four words and asked: "Brother Xiaoyou, what does it mean to attract brides in martial arts?"

"Martial competition and marriage is the way for women in the martial arts world to choose a good husband. It is a woman who is already an adult and wants to get married, but cannot find an ideal partner for marriage, so she set up a stage and called on the young hero to go on stage to compete with him. As long as she can defeat this woman, she can marry this woman."

After explaining the meaning of the competition for marriage, Zuo Xiaoyou murmured: "I didn't expect Yueru to go on this path."

"Who is Yue Ru?" Zhao Ling'er's ears were very sensitive.

"Miss of Linjiabao, I saved her back then and taught her a few kung fu. In a sense, I am my unnamed disciple!" Zuo Xiaoyou said.

"Oh." Zhao Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "It seems that Brother Xiaoyou's disciples are going to get married. Brother Xiaoyou, should we prepare a gift?"

"It depends on the situation." Zuo Xiaoyou disagreed.

The two came to the gate of Linjiabao, and the gatekeeper of Linjiabao stopped the two: "Who is coming?"

"Go and tell the Lord of Linbao that the old friend will come to visit." Zuo Xiaoyou said loudly.

Seeing that the left and right weapon was not uncommon, Zhao Ling'er was even more energetic. The warrior at the gate did not dare to be careless and immediately went to inform the Lord of Lin Castle.

At this time, Lin Tiannan and Lin Yueru were enjoying supper together. When they heard the news, Lin Yueru stood up with a happy face: "Brother Zuo is here!"

After that, I stopped eating and ran to the front door quickly.

Lin Tiannan shook his head: "This girl is eighteen years old and is still so reckless."

"Master..." The housekeeper was a little worried.

"It's okay." Lin Tiannan waved his hand and said, "Prepare another dinner table."

"Yes, lord." The housekeeper immediately went to make arrangements.

In front of the Linjiabao gate, Lin Yueru, who was running quickly, saw the familiar figure and rushed over excitedly: "Brother Zuo!"

Lin Yue was as light as a deer, jumping three feet away and pounced directly on Zuo Xiaoyou.

Zuo Xiaoyou hugged her and patted her on the back with a smile: "It's all people who are going to get married, and it's still so reckless, how can it be."

Lin Yueru stuck out her tongue and said shyly: "What did Brother Zuo say? Who said I'm going to get married?"

"The platform for the martial arts competition and bride is set up. It's not a matter of time before marriage." Zuo Xiaoyou put down Lin Yueru, took two steps back and looked at her, and couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "No, after nine years of separation, the crazy little girl back then has grown into a big girl like a flower. I believe that the people who came to participate in the martial arts competition and bride will squeeze Suzhou City into pieces."

Lin Yueru was so embarrassed and happy when she was praised by Zuo Xiaoyou, and she smiled like a flower. She was about to speak, but suddenly noticed Zhao Ling'er standing behind Zuo Xiaoyou.

When Lin Yueru was shocked at the first sight of Zhao Ling'er, she was shocked: What a spiritual little beauty.

My heart tightened and subconsciously made a comparison in my heart.

In terms of appearance, Zhao Linger seemed to be better; but in terms of figure, Lin Yueru found confidence.

Lin Yueru has been practicing martial arts since childhood, has a tall and long legs, and is a small wild horse that countless men want to conquer; while Zhao Linger prefers the water town girl type, with a petite figure, unparalleled appearance, and a slightly poor figure.

Of course, it is not to say that Zhao Linger has a bad figure. In fact, as a descendant of Nuwa, Zhao Linger has a good figure, but she is only sixteen years old and has not fully grown. If she goes in two years, Zhao Linger's figure may not be worse than Lin Yueru.

What's more, things like body shape are different from each other, and each has its own preferences. Some people like long legs, some like big papaya, some like water snake waist, some like peach buttocks. Some have strong tastes, like chrysanthemums...

Depend on personal hobbies.

Zuo Xiaoyou actually thinks that both girls are very good, each with their own beauty and their own goodness, and there is no need to distinguish between the two girls.

"Brother Zuo, who is this girl?" Lin Yueru asked.

"The princess of the black Miao people in Miao Xinjiang, Zhao Ling'er." Zuo Xiaoyou introduced the two girls to each other. The objective and fair introduction made the two girls feel that they had a similar relationship with each other. In this way, the two girls felt a little sympathetic.

"Sister Yueru."

"Sister Ling'er."

Socializing is a woman's nature. In just a few minutes, the two women were very close to each other and chatted constantly. Those who didn't know thought they had known each other for a long time.

As we chatted and walked inside, we soon met Lin Tiannan.

"Haha, Mr. Zuo, after having been together for many years, are you safe?" Zuo Xiaoyou's arrival made Lin Tiannan very happy and greeted him with a smile, without any strangeness or estrangement that he had not seen for nine years.

Zuo Xiaoyou held his fist and replied: "TOEFL, Shangke. The Lord of Linbao has grown much older. It seems that the past nine years have not been easy."

"Oh!" Lin Tiannan sighed: "There is no way. Linjiabao and the Nanwulin League have too many things to deal with. Lin was exhausted and he was getting older faster." Then he looked at Zuo Xiaoyou and said in surprise: "Mr. Zuo has no change. He is really a skill in maintaining his face."

"It's just because of taking pills." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and threw Lin Tiannan a rejuvenation pill: "This is a rejuvenation pill, which can help the Lord of Linbao return to his eighteen years."

"Take it seriously!" Lin Tiannan's hand shook and almost dropped the Rejuvenation Pill to the ground.

"You will know it after a try." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "It's just that after taking it, it will be excreted from the body. The Lord of Linbao should be prepared for a shower."

Lin Tiannan was extremely excited: "Mr. Zuo, Lin was extremely anxious at this moment, so the little girl hosted Mr. Zuo, and Lin would come when he went."

Zuo Xiaoyou could understand his mood: "Please give me a gift, Lord Limburg."

After Lin Tiannan left, Lin Yueru asked, "Brother Zuo, can that elixir really make my father eighteen years old?"

"I don't know at first, but I will definitely do it in a month." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the table full of delicious wine and food and smiled: "It seems that your father knows that we haven't had dinner yet, so he is determined."

"Yuemei, come and serve Brother Zuo and Sister Ling'er to cleanse your hands." Lin Yueru immediately ordered the maid to serve Zuo Xiaoyou and Zhao Ling'er to wash their hands and faces, and then the three of them took a seat for dinner.

"Brother Zuo, where have you been in the past years?" Lin Yueru asked at the dining table: "In addition to the previous few years, there was news about you, but it disappeared in the next few years. Did you go to Ling'er's sister's fairy spirit island to live in seclusion?"

"Of course not." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I encountered a lot of things a few years ago. I was so tired that I ran to Shushan Demon Locking Tower to hide for a few years. I got some news a few days ago, so I went to Xianling Island to bring Ling'er out."

"Shushan Demon Locking Tower?" Lin Yueru looked curious: "What kind of tower is that?"

"It is the place where demons and ghosts are imprisoned." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Five hundred and eighty-four years ago, Emperor Wu of Liang gathered all over the world's white jade, summoned thousands of first-class craftsmen, and spent twenty years to build a high tower, and invited countless monks and wizards to issue countless forbidden spells inside and outside the tower. After hundreds of years of changes, this tower was taken over by the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect. As long as the demons and ghosts who have high magic power and cannot be eliminated for a while, they will be locked into the demon lock tower and will never escape forever."

"Ah! This is too cruel!" Zhao Ling'er exclaimed, and the Bodhisattva's heart broke out: "Demons and ghosts are also creatures. As long as they are not extremely vicious, why should they be caught!"

"Not bad!" Lin Yueru agreed with Zhao Linger's point of view: "Killing people is just a lie. The demons and monsters in the demon lock tower may not be all evil. It was a bit inappropriate for Emperor Wu of Liang to build the tower back then."

"Five hundred years ago, demons were everywhere, and most demons even feed on people. As the lord of a country, it is not wrong to build towers and protect their people."

Zuo Xiaoyou has read the relevant history and unofficial history of this world, and has also heard many folk stories passed down by word of mouth when traveling around the world. It can basically be confirmed that more than 500 years ago was not a good time for mankind. Not only did he face wars within human beings, but he also had to be wary of external demons and monsters. In that case, Emperor Wu of Liang built a demon lock tower, imprisoned monsters and monsters in the world, and protected the lives and safety of his own people. It can be said that he has made contributions to the present and future generations.

However, as Lin Yueru said, all the demons and monsters in the world may not be all evil, and there will inevitably be accidental capture and injury. However, compared with the huge base, these are nothing, and we can only say: You are unlucky.

Zuo Xiaoyou thought so, and the two girls thought about it, and finally agreed with his opinion.

"Brother Zuo, what is the like in the Demon Locking Tower? Are the demons and ghosts inside eat people?" Lin Yueru asked.

"I can only say that the winding and twists are like a maze, and you will get lost if you are not careful." Zuo Xiaoyou took a sip of bird's nest soup and said, "As for whether to eat people? It is indeed eaten, but the Demon Lock Tower is a place to keep monsters. Almost no one will be locked in the Demon Lock Tower unless you run in for death."

"The monster really eats people." Lin Yueru nodded: "It seems that the monsters in the Hidden Dragon Cave should indeed be killed."

"Oh?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Where is the Hidden Dragon Cave?"

"It's in the western suburbs of Suzhou not far from Linjiabao." Lin Yueru said: "In the past year, there have been rumors that girls were being plundered by monsters. Our Linjiabao also organized warriors to go to the Hidden Dragon Cave to destroy monsters and save people, but those warriors did not come back after they went there. They must have been poisoned by monsters."

Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and said, "I will go to the Hidden Dragon Cave to have time." He paused, "How is your martial arts now?"

Speaking of martial arts, Lin Yueru suddenly felt spirited: "Brother Zuo said that my magical practice has been practiced to great success, and Tai Chi swordsmanship has also reached a certain level of 70% or 80% heat, but it is still a bit far from being round and free."

"Not bad." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "Tai Chi sword technique is not a quick martial art. The longer the time, the deeper the heat. It is already amazing that you can practice 70% to 80% within ten years."

Lin Yueru smiled: "Thanks to Brother Zuo's two martial arts, now in Linjiabao, no one is my opponent except my father."

"Not bad." Zuo Xiaoyou praised: "At your age, you will become the top master in the world within ten years." He sighed at this point: "It's a pity that you are going to get married. The top master in the world is probably not destined to be with you."

Hearing this, Lin Yueru frowned: "What should I do?"

"There is no other way except to pray that your future husband is an enlightened person and can tolerate you to go around the world."

Zuo Xiaoyou's words made Lin Yueru fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Lin Yueru looked up at Zuo Xiaoyou, glanced at his face that was always twenty-five years old. After a moment, her face turned red and said, "Brother Zuo, I want to ask you something?"

"Let's talk." He probably guessed something from Lin Yueru's examination of him, but now he wanted to confirm it.

Lin Yueru said shyly: "Tomorrow's martial arts competition will attract brides, will you be on stage?"
