After a while, Xu Guanzhu brought a notebook that looked very old, and the cover was already a little damaged.

Putting it in front of Meng Zitao, Xu Guan said: "Meng Jushi, this is my master's notes before his death, and the content about tea trees is also in it, you can take a look." ”

While speaking, Xu Guan turned the notes to the place where the knowledge related to tea trees was recorded.

"Then you're welcome. ”

Meng Zitao picked up the notes and read them carefully, and found that the detailed method of preparing tea was recorded on it, and the author reminded the reader at the end that if water with strong spirituality was used in the process, the effect would be more outstanding.

Meng Zitao happened to have spiritual water in his hand, and he didn't know how much the effect could be increased when he used it to make tea.

After reading the notes, Meng Zitao did not find a single word about improving the tea tree, which made him somewhat disappointed, although he could also come over and ask Xu Guan to ask for tea, but not to mention the favor, the tea is not fresh, and the effect will be discounted.

"Meng Jushi, have you found a way to improve the tea tree?" asked Xu Guanzhu.

Meng Zitao shook his head, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly found that the broken part of the notebook seemed to be a little special, so he picked it up again and looked at it.

"Look, Lord, look at the broken place here. Meng Zitao pointed to the cover of the note.

Xu Guan looked at it, only to feel a little familiar, and half a sound, the three brothers suddenly realized.

"We've all committed the problem of seeing and knowing!" said the three brothers with wry smiles on their faces.

The damaged place of the note is the appearance of the tea tree, and there are a few obvious points under the broken place, which should be the arrangement under the tea tree.

Speaking of which, thanks to Lord Xu Guan, they took care of the tea tree carefully and kept it in shape, otherwise Meng Zitao might not be able to recognize it.

Lord Xu Guan bowed: "Meng Jushi, thanks to you, otherwise we may not be able to see it for the rest of our lives." ”

Meng Zitao said modestly: "You're welcome, it's just a coincidence." ”

"Meng Jushi, are you inconvenient now?" asked Xu Guanzhu.

Meng Zitao said, "Are you going to dig it?" But what if the key thing is not Molongyu?"

Xu Guanzhu said: "We have no better choice. ”

Since Lord Xu Guanzhu decided, Meng Zitao had no objection, and the group came to the tea tree again, and the junior brother of Lord Xu Guan went to get tools and came over, and everyone began to dig up the soil around the tea tree.

Thanks to the help of Meng Zitao, the progress was very fast, and soon, everyone dug up a small jade box, and after opening it, they saw that there were only some powdery things inside, and they couldn't tell what it was at all.

Everyone continued to dig according to the instructions on the note, and soon dug up the second jade box, this jade box is a little different, after opening, you can see that there are small characters engraved inside, which is the method of improving the tea tree.

As Meng Zitao guessed, Molong jade was the most important thing to improve the tea tree, and the rest was done by jade boxes and some special but common utensils. If the ink dragon jade in the jade box is exhausted, the tea tree will gradually die.

After getting what he wanted, Meng Zitao was very happy, so he handed over the ink dragon jade to Lord Xu Guan, but Lord Xu Guan refused to accept it, feeling ashamed.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Lord, I actually have something to ask you, I don't know if the flower god cup in the room just now can be transferred to me?"

"Meng Jushi, let us discuss. ”

Master Xu Guan discussed with his senior brother for a moment and said, "We can give you those few flower god cups, I wonder if you have any other requirements?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I just want to appreciate that Huang Gongwang's work, as for the rest, I don't need it, otherwise I will be insatiable." ”

In fact, for him, Mo Longyu did not have much effect except for being able to achieve his wish of "one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven" in the end, and it is dispensable for him. As for it, if you want to rely on a piece of ink dragon jade to decipher the machine person, it is simply impossible.

The deal was a great deal for both parties, and everyone got what they wanted.

After that, Meng Zitao admired Huang Gongwang's work, which is indeed genuine, and it was inscribed for this Taoist temple, no wonder Xu Guan refused to sell it.

After a busy time, it was already past noon, Xu Guanzhu invited the two to dine in Guanzhong, and Meng Zitao and Ah Ming readily agreed.

Although there is only coarse tea and light rice in the view, the ingredients are fresh wild vegetables in the mountains, which are very delicious, and everyone eats them with relish.

After the meal, Meng Zitao and Ah Ming prepared to say goodbye.

Lord Xu Guan also wanted to ask them to sit for a while before leaving, but Meng Zitao said that he would go into the mountain and wait until he came out of the mountain, and then he would chatter.

"Meng Jushi, why did you enter the mountain?" Xu Guan asked as soon as he spoke, and hurriedly said, "I took the liberty of it." ”

Meng Zitao said: "It's not a confidential matter, some time ago, Brother Ming found a Danmu, I'll take a look, if it's indeed a Danmu, we're going to protect it." ”

The reason why Meng Zitao didn't hide it was because Xu Guan and they often went into the mountains, maybe they had already discovered the danmu, maybe they could learn more.

Lord Xu Guan said: "There is indeed a Danmu in the mountain, but I suggest that you don't fight its idea. ”

"Why?"

"I don't know if you've heard of it, around every (plant) fairy grass (tree), there are guardians, around that Dan tree, there is an unknown poisonous snake, when my junior brother went to pick game, he encountered that poisonous snake, if it wasn't for my junior brother's luck, he must have been bitten by the snake. ”

Xu Guanzhu's junior brother took over and said: "Later, I saw that snake bite an adult wild boar to death, and whenever I think of this scene, I feel my scalp tingle. ”

"But when I met Danmu, I didn't meet the poisonous snake you mentioned. ”

Xu Guan said: "That's your luck, so let's let my junior brother go with you, so I can take care of you." ”

Ah Ming waved his hand: "Lord, I don't believe you, I don't need the little master to go with us." ”

"It's not troublesome, and since I know about it, I don't send someone with me, I'm a little uneasy. ”

Master Xu Guan said something wrong, and Meng Zitao agreed, and then the group of three walked towards the location of the Dan tree.

Out of the Taoist temple, there are broken distances and stone steps outside, everyone walks up the stairs, Mencius Tao keeps observing around, only to see that in some of the surrounding walls, there are some holes, and there are statues of famous Taoist gods and goddesses inside. There is also some incense ash around.

Such statues, Mencius Tao has also seen in some Buddhist tourist destinations, but these Taoist statues look more delicate and expressive, and the author is likely to be a statue master.
