Chapter 162: Midnight Orchid

The further you go up the steps, the fog gets thicker, but unlike the mountains, the Snow Hidden Peak is the highest.

The flat steps are not as dangerous as the cold peaks and valleys, and there is a unique magnificent atmosphere.

Twilight leaned over to Yun Bi's side, "There are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in this. ”

Yun Bi said: "How hard it is to transport these stones. ”

Twilight Wan disagreed: "How many craftsmen have been fed by these steps, and in a peaceful and prosperous world, it is enough for craftsmen to show off to future generations by testing a craft." ”

Yun Bi said: "It seems that hard work has paid off." ”

Twilight: "That's normal, but it's not normal. ”

"Huh?"

"For example, a craftsman can earn ten taels of silver a day for hard work, but Qiushui's father only needs to see that the income in one day is far more than that of all the craftsmen who have completed this project. Money aside, fame, status, and the most harvested are far from what a craftsman can imagine. These are the top players. Look at this road monument, it is engraved with powerful people. ”

Yun Bi stopped in front of the inscription, "The words engraved here are not bad." ”

Twilight shook her head and smiled, "You girl really can't be complicated, this is Elder Di's words." He was also an outstanding metamagician during the Great War, and one day he said that he was too old to fight, so he retired, and studied tactics, calligraphy, and chess games behind closed doors all day long, and people became silent. ”

Yun Bi smiled: "You know this, too. ”

Twilight smiled, "Uncle Di is a good friend of my father's, so I know a little more." ”

"You seem to know a lot about your father's deeds. "The stories of the elders, Yun Bi suddenly wanted to hear more.

Twilight said, "My heart is more ambitious, Sister Twilight doesn't care, but I will pay attention to it, and slowly I will know more." ”

"My dad also has a friend, they are friends in the same school, and later they became officials together, but unfortunately that uncle died. ”

Yun Bi raised her eyes, "Why?"

"I heard that the uncle had drunk too much wine that time, and it was a happy thing, and they went to the foreign tribe to attend the wedding feast together. But Sui didn't expect that on the way back to the imperial city, he was attacked by the Demon Lord. ”

"That was the first time I heard about death, and my mother was waiting for us sisters early in the morning, telling us that my uncle was gone. The weather was the same as usual, except that the wind was a little more subdued. I don't remember my father's appearance, but I vaguely remember that my father, who had never believed in Buddhism, had set a table of dishes and put empty dishes and chopsticks that day. Talking to the empty bowl and chopsticks. ”

Yun Bi thought of the terrifying face under the black cloak of Mogou Casino, and shuddered, if someone familiar around her was killed that time, Yun Bi didn't know if she had the ability to bear it. After all, death is very far away for a young girl like her......

Yun Bi asked, "Why did the Demon Lord kill people?"

Twilight said, "Your words are like asking why wolves eat sheep, some people are naturally extremely evil, and it's strange not to kill people." ”

Yunbi's nature loves tranquility, but one day in the face of extreme evil, her first thought was: escape...

She hallucinated a voice that said, "It's been seven years, and it hasn't changed."

The vest was drenched in a cold sweat, like a garden dream.

Twilight took her hand and said, "Yun'er don't worry, even when the cult was most rampant, they didn't dare to set foot in this imperial city, and the one who guarded this continent was a great family. ”

Yun Bi nodded, and the two continued to walk forward, Qiushui was at the forefront as always, and when he saw a figure, his pace quickened, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of a great body.

"That's Qiushui's father, outside the pool. ”

"So tall!" Yun Bi said.

Twilight leaned into her ear, "No, whoever wants to marry Qiushui in the future, when he sees her tall and mighty father, he will have to think about it several times." ”

Yun Bi smiled: "It's just that his father doesn't look like a native of the Central Plains." ”

Twilight Wan was stunned, looking at the past from a clear distance, only the figure could be seen, and Yun'er could actually see her facial features: "Yun'er, did you grow up taking panacea since you were a child, and you feel that even your eyesight is much better than that of me and other mortals." ”

Yun Bi was stunned, since her body's Xuan Qi began to breathe, her perception of things seemed to have opened several doors, maybe seven, she remembered the artistic conception when she practiced her breath this morning.

Many things that cannot be seen by the naked eye can be perceived by the mind.

Yun Bi smiled: "I still have some medicine, I can't kill people if I eat it, or you can try it every day." ”

Twilight said, "I don't want it, the medicine is too bitter." He continued: "Chi Yuanwai is indeed not from the Central Plains, so it makes sense to say that Qiushui also has half Hu blood, and it makes sense to say that the mixed-race is beautiful and smart." ”

Outside the pool is a person with a hooked nose, deep eyes and big ears, and the key is to wear a gorgeous costume, which sets off the whole person more spiritually.

He was very familiar with the three sisters of the Rui family, but when the shrewd eyes of the businessman fell on Yun Bi, the light from the dark eyes made Yun Bi's heart feel cold, and it was not very good-intentioned.

After all, Chi Yuanwai is a good hand in the business field, and said magnificently: "You girls are really energetic, you have walked such a long way, let the autumn water go and drink the red robe soaked in the holy spring, the top goods." ”

Twilight said, "This is a royal tribute, and we have a good mouth." ”

Twilight has always been dignified and said, "Thank you, Uncle Chi." ”

A few people walked into the meditation room, but they were stunned for a moment, and all kinds of high-quality tributes were placed on the lacquered sandalwood long table, and Twilight Wan had not seen good goods. But so many of the world's best goods are all in one place. And it is casually used to greet guests, the spaciousness of this pool family makes people secretly praise.

Sitting next to the teapot was the palace maid who was dressed very elegantly, she had already warmed the water, and smiled: "Which one do the girls want to drink?" ”

Qiushui couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's try each of them, anyway, we have time." ”

"This time I have time, and when I was in a hurry, I wanted to give up several times" Twilight Xi couldn't cry or laugh at the moment.

Qiushui said: "Taste tea this time, count me as a ghost." ”

Twilight Xi hurriedly said, "Sister, I don't dare to do this. ”

Tasting the fragrance of tea, Qiushui said proudly: "Do you know what kind of tea is in your hand?" ”

Twilight said: "It's the best hairy tip, and the East Island pays tribute." ”

Qiushui smiled: "What about this?"

Twilight Wan tasted a product and said, "Black wood buds, legend has it that this one grows in the backlight of the extremely yin mountain cliff, and it takes a lot of manpower to pick. ”

Qiushui and Duwan are fighting tea like this, and the tea of the final finale can not be described as tea, with a fragrant fragrance of orchid, looking at the tea color in the cup, verdant and cold.

Qiushui laughed: "You can't guess this!"

Twilight smelled the refreshing aroma of tea, took a sip, and said, "Wonderful! It's just that this flavor is not in the previous tribute tea!"

Twilight searched for the name of the famous tea in her mind, and felt that it was wrong, and was annoyed, when she saw Yun Bi's smiling eyes.

Yun Bi gestured with her fingertips on her hand, and Twilight said proudly, "This is the Midnight Orchid of Hanfeng Valley!"

Qiushui was surprised, "You actually know the Midnight Orchid!"

Twilight didn't talk about the habits of flowers, but changed the subject: "This cold peak valley never does business with the rivers and lakes easily, how did you get this midnight orchid?"

Qiushui said proudly: "If Hanfeng Valley is considered a paradise, it will not have a reputation in the rivers and lakes..."

"Ahem," Chi Yuanwai interrupted his daughter's words, "Your father's business tricks have been scattered by you." ”

Qiushui didn't care: "You've earned enough." The transaction of the "Secret" Mogou Gambling House is a black market transaction, and it should not be too careless. ”
