When he was young, he gave up everything and went to roam with a childish spirit, and finally he was injured, only to find that he was tired and wanted to go back to find a place to recuperate, only to find that his relatives had died in waiting. The teenager is no longer a teenager, and the rivers and lakes are no longer rivers and lakes in his eyes.

The tea maker seemed to see his own story again, in his dreams, in the fog, he was not the one who knew life best, he had not even seriously touched his own life, he had become like this, old, weak, even gray-haired, and suffering from incurable diseases. He is also a healer, and he knows very well the extent of the injuries he has left behind for many years.

He looked at Jiang Ming in front of him at the moment, and he actually felt a little emotional, they may know each other very well, but in some ways they are very similar, the same stubbornness, the same ambition, and the same pitiful.

The tea maker said, "What about the girl who was with you?"

Jiang Ming said gloomily: "She is missing, maybe I lost it." ”

The tea alchemist said firmly, "Get her back." ”

Jiang Ming nodded, but felt that such an answer was not enough, and said, "Definitely!"

It may not be possible to repay the mistakes committed, but if the young people of the future can know something as soon as possible, maybe the story will be less sad.

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Ming said, "Old man, what is the flag battle like?"

The tea refiner hesitated for a long time and said, "Flag Battle, I haven't experienced it either, and my strength and age are not enough to participate in this kind of grand event of the seventh act. Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Gate List?"

Jiang Ming recalled these three words in his mind, he remembered that Zhu Ran, a man from the Gunman Sect, had mentioned it to him, and he said: "I've heard this, the Tianmen list is divided into the list of no talents, no confusion list, and the list of knowing fate, and only those who have reached a certain martial arts realm within a certain age range can enter the list, which is the proof of all the outstanding talents in the entire Nine Fields." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the tea refiner's eyes, and he said: "That's the case, the Tianmen Gang has gathered all the talents of Jiuye, and the talent list is the most representative of the comprehensive strength of all young martial artists, and this list is also secretly mastered by the seventh act, but because there is a strong sect supervision in the land of three walls, all arguments are in pursuit of truth and reliability, so it can be regarded as true to use this list to represent the strength in it." ”

"My Zhu Tianye's strength is not outstanding among the nine fields, and the number of real powerhouses is far less than Jun Tianye and Youtianye, and the strongest person under the age of thirty in these years is only rushing to the forty-fifth place on the list, and the strongest person in the list is better, but it is only in the teens. At my age, I'm afraid I should chase the list of knowing my fate, but my own strength is only eight ranks, and I can't even go up to the list, it's ridiculous!"

"What I want to say is the relationship between this list of talents and the flag battle, because all the fighters of the flag battle must enter the list of talents, so that they will be recognized by the supervisors of the seventh act, in our Qianfeng Inn, only Hao and Miao have reached this level, and they are ranked 730th and 738th on the list of untalented people, so the landlord wants you to appear for the Qianfeng Inn and win the last place. ”

Jiang Ming was a little surprised, Hao and Miao should be both half-step and nine-stage, and they can reach more than 700 on the list of non-talents, you must know that Zhu Ran, who was a member of the Gunman Sect, was only in more than 400, and he suddenly said: "In this way, am I also on the list of non-talents." ”

The tea refiner smiled: "You guessed wrong, you are actually not on this list, there are 1,000 people on the list, there are 500 people on the list, and there are 100 people on the list of knowing fate, and although your strength is already good in this area, it is not ranked at all in the face of the entire Jiuye region." As you know, the higher the martial arts realm, the fewer martial artists can stand on their feet, and there are not many people in the entire Jiuye region who can reach the status realm, but the martial arts masters who can reach the eighth-stage rank are counted in the tens of thousands. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Then I didn't get into the list, how can I participate in the flag battle?"

The tea refiner said: "The landlord takes a fancy to your qualifications and believes that you can enter the list of talents within a year, so he handed over this place to you." ”

Jiang Ming pursed his lips, frowned, and said, "It's a little difficult, if I can't get in, I'm not qualified to participate." ”

The tea refiner smiled faintly and said, "It seems to be so." However, I know that there is one person in the pro-dynasty who has entered the list of talents, but it is impossible for him to participate in the flag battle for the seventh act. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Who is it? Could it be the three generalissimos? But they should all be over thirty years old, right?"

The tea refiner was silent for a while, and said: "This person is very familiar with you, and there is no one in this Qin Dynasty who does not know him, the fourth prince of the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, Qiu Jue." ”

Qiu Jue's name appeared, Jiang Ming's head suddenly buzzed, he felt extremely shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Isn't this a talent list, isn't it a martial arts ranking? Qiu Jue is just a person who is good at using tricks and not knowing martial arts, how can he not be on the talent list?"

The tea refiner sighed and said: "You have a lot of wrong perceptions of Qiu Jue, this person is resourceful and ruthless, if he is just a literati who does not know martial arts, how can he have such a temperament? ”

Jiang Ming remembered again that Yu Zhaoxi, who was seriously injured by Chu Hong's seven-sky arrow in Xia Dye City, sent a death-defying blow to Qiu Jue, and several eight-stage masters were unable to stop Yu Zhaoxi, but in the end, Qiu Jue was able to rely on a suit of armor without being injured, and Yu Zhaoxi was already dead at that time, Jiang Ming did not see clearly what the truth was at that time, but he did not guess that Qiu Jue was proficient in martial arts. Yes, he did not dare to guess. Qiu Jue's peerless resourcefulness was already terrifying, and if he also had martial arts strength that was not weaker than that of an eighth-rank martial arts master, then this person would really make people shudder.

Jiang Ming thought about it and was terrified, and said, "Old man, do you know Qiu Jue's ranking in the list of talents?"

The tea refiner said: "Naturally, I know, there is only this one person in the Qin Dynasty who is on the list, and I will definitely focus on remembering." However, this ranking is a bit scary, he is ranked 520th on the list. ”

More than five hundred? This position is much higher than Hao and Miao, and can even be compared with Zhu Ran, a member of the Spear Sect, and it is not difficult to guess the strength of Qiu Jue's martial arts, which is higher than the half-step nine-stage sect, and has even entered the realm of the nine-stage grandmaster.

Jiang Ming was shocked again, only by truly understanding the distribution of the strong in a country can he understand what this means. The Nine Mansions Alliance has four Nine-Rank Grandmasters, all three of whom are black-clothed leaders who capture teeth, and the Qin Dynasty has only three generalissimos who have reached the realm of Nine-Rank Binding Spirits, but in fact, there is also Zong Kun, the mountain lord of Wohua Mountain, and the black-clothed people who have assassinated Jiang Ming by Yangtafeng's side, in fact, there are only these few people. But Qiu Jue really stepped into the nine-rank level, then he was the sixth nine-rank martial arts master of the pro-dynasty, and this identity was not simple.

But why do tea refiners mention this?

Jiang Ming said: "Old man, since Qiu Jue intends to hide his martial arts strength, and the seventh act has not been announced to outsiders, so Qiu Jue's matter can definitely be regarded as the seventh act of Mixin, why do you want to tell me? This kind of information seems to be too deliberate. ”

Faced with Jiang Ming's question, the tea refiner laughed, but this laugh caused him to cough seven or eight times, the tea refiner took out a hand towel and wiped the bright red at the corner of his mouth, deliberately turned his body, turned his back to Jiang Ming and said: "This autumn is not simple, you can reach this level at the age of twenty-four, you are really a genius among geniuses, if you let him continue to practice, it is very likely that he will reach the first place on the list of talents before the age of thirty." A long time ago, the high-level of the seventh act took protective measures against Qiu Jue, and the organizations below the banner could not supervise Qiu Jue, and even sealed his affairs, and no one was allowed to check them without a secret order from the vein master. A few days ago, there was a battle in Xia Dye City, I think you should know the situation, but our Qianfeng Inn can't monitor it, we only know that after that, the three status realm scattered cultivators died, and even alarmed the big people of the Zhu Tianye Cultivation Alliance. It was only after that that that the landlord saw from some clues that the high-level in Act 7 made a deal with Qiu Jue, but in fact, the seventh act did not make any profits, and it is said that the remnants of the treasure that Qiu Jue used to trade have been verified by professionals, and it is only a part, and it is still impossible to open the treasure. And Qiu Jue seemed to have known for a long time, Ji had the support of the seventh act, and he had achieved his goal, and he was the only one in the world who could do that kind of thrilling thing. ”

Even though the tea refiner didn't say what Qiu Jue had done, but when he heard this, Jiang Ming had been able to integrate everything he knew before, and he realized very little of it, only the fear of Qiu Jue.

The tea refiner said: "The reason why I told you all this is that I hope you can write it down, be wary of this person Qiu Jue, although it is extremely difficult to deal with him, but don't die in his hands, remember, if you can, you can escape." "Qishu.com

Jiang Ming said, "What does this mean?"

The tea refiner said: "You just talk nonsense to me, but please believe that I have no malicious intentions, after all, I can put a powerful enemy in the most cautious memory, which is the first step as a strong person." ”

Jiang Ming was a little at a loss for words.

"Okay, now that I've said all these things, let's talk about the current matter, about Meng Lang, the five commanders of Wohua Mountain. The tea refiner turned around, for some reason, at this time, he seemed to be different from him, not only his expression became more solemn, but even the emotions hidden under the old face were faintly uncontrollable overflowing with sadness, he said, "Do you really want to save him?"

Jiang Ming was puzzled again, but in the face of the tea refiner's interrogation, he had to reply seriously: "Naturally, I want him to live, he is my brother, so naturally he can't die." I know that this plague is terrible, but if the old gentleman has a way to cure it, I will definitely give it in exchange for something precious. ”

"Precious thing?" The tea refiner smiled playfully and said, "The precious thing in front of me is not similar to what you think, the way I look now, in fact, there is nothing worth cherishing anymore, of course, except for her." ”

Jiang Ming remembered that when he and Shen Yiwei went out of Jiaozhi City, Shen Yiwu once talked about the tea refiner, of course, it was also about the flower arranger, and he choked that story between his teeth until a trace of sourness oozed, and then he would understand the strong feelings in it. He is also like a young tea refiner, chasing countless regrets for those ethereal dreams.

The tea refiner seemed to be recalling something, and then looked at Jiang Ming and said in a daze: "It's just that this is the last time." ”

"Hmm, old man, what are you talking about?" Jiang Ming didn't hear this sentence clearly, so he asked again.

The tea refiner smiled indifferently: "Yuan gold and money are not enough to attract my attention, if you want me to save him, you still need to show some sincerity." ”

Jiang Ming was a little confused, after all, this had already made a deal with Chang An, but after the tea refiner was sent here, he asked for benefits, which made Jiang Ming quite unhappy, but it was just displeased, after all, he felt that the tea refiner would not embarrass him for no reason like this, after all, this is about Meng Lang's life.

"Sir, if you want life, just say, I will definitely try to do it. ”

When the tea refiner heard this, he showed a slight smile and said, "Okay, since you are willing to believe me, then I will also believe it, I hope you can do one thing." ”

Jiang Ming nodded, listening attentively.

The tea alchemist said: "My daughter, very lonely, very helpless, she has lived in the seventh act since she was a child, she grew up under Chang'an's upbringing, and no one is friends with her, I hope you can be close to her." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Ming gasped, looked at the tea refiner's serious expression in disbelief, and said, "Old man, aren't you joking, are you?" I didn't talk to the white girl for more than three sentences in total, but I didn't understand my understanding of this matchmaking, I already have someone I like, and I didn't want to make another room, not to mention that the white girl and Yi Wei have also been friends for a few days, so I ......."

The tea refiner suddenly scolded angrily: "What do you think, I naturally won't let my daughter be your concubine, you already have a confidante, and you are a little too greedy." I mean let you help take care of her, and if you dare to bully by force, I promise you won't have a future. ”

Jiang Ming wanted to cry without tears, he was inexplicably made a family affair, and inexplicably left a mocking threat, Jiang Ming forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "Old man, I didn't mean that, what you said just now was misunderstood, and I would respond like that." Not to mention that Yi Wei Tong disagrees, the character of the white girl is naturally not looked down upon. But what does the old gentleman mean by taking care?

The tea refiner nodded and said, "That's what I mean, during the time I was away, I could help her, she had already gone through a lot of hardships, but the second half of her life was still unstable, and I didn't have any other friends to entrust, so I could only beg you to help take care of it." Moreover, she will have a lot of tribulations in the future, and I want you to swear that you will take care of her. Of course, if she is willing to be friends with you, you can also use the etiquette between friends. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Don't worry about this, just based on the friendship between the white girl and Yi Wei, I will help from time to time, but I don't know a little, is the old gentleman planning to go somewhere?"

The tea refiner sighed slightly, and when he lowered his head, there seemed to be a few more frowns between his eyebrows, and he said softly: "Sort of, I have to leave her behind again." ”

Jiang Ming also sighed and said, "Mr. Tea Refiner, at this time, I also want to say a word, if the matter is not too important, you can actually choose to give up, after all, more often, companionship is the most important." The white girl only has one of your relatives now, and if you are far away, she is actually the loneliest. ”

The tea refiner nodded again, and said with a little gratitude: "Young man, I know that I am not the same person I was decades ago now, I have passed that impulsive age, and now I know what is more important, but this matter is too important for me to do." ”

Jiang Ming smiled helplessly, agreeing with the tea refiner's statement.

The tea alchemist sighed lightly and said, "Let's go, I can heal him now." ”

Jiang Ming handed over a piece of paper and said, "Old man, this is what we took from a person in Daming Cave, I just took a closer look, it doesn't seem to be against medical principles, do you think it will be helpful for the treatment of epidemics." Naturally, this prescription was used by Jiao Pingwen to make a deal with Meng Lang, and it was only after he woke up that he found that it had appeared in his clothes at some point.

The tea refiner took the prescription in his hand, studied it carefully for a long time, then tore it to pieces, threw it to the ground, and said, "It's useless, don't look at it anymore." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the tea refiner to directly tear it apart.

The tea refiner said: "This prescription is written by me, it is estimated that you were deceived by the people of Daming Cave, I once went to Daming Cave to study the treatment of the epidemic, and stayed for a month before leaving, although it is some achievements, but still did not find a solution to the epidemic." At that time, the reason why the Daming Caves were able to suppress the spread of the epidemic was more because the Daming Caves buried tens of millions of people, and all the ways of the spread of the epidemic were interrupted, so as to restrain the epidemic, which had nothing to do with my research. ”

Jiang Ming was shocked again, it turned out that the doctor with superb medical skills in Jiao Pingwen's mouth turned out to be him, Jiang Ming finally believed Chang An's words, maybe the tea alchemist really had this certain chance to cure Meng Lang.

Jiang Ming asked tentatively: "After several years of research, does the old gentleman have a certain degree of certainty that he can cure the epidemic?" ”

The tea refiner snorted lightly, as if jokingly: "It still can't be cured!"

Jiang Ming was stunned again.
