Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Cyclamen
Stepping on another street, the crowd of monks here seemed to be denser and lively, and after a few glances around, the sound of warblers singing and dancing could be heard in the distance......
Su Qianyin frowned, but didn't think much about it, and followed the instructions on the map and went straight to the most luxurious inn on this street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When I entered the inn, I saw that the first floor was already full of guests, some people were slowly drinking wine and tea, some were sitting together whispering and discussing something, and some people were just sitting still as if they were groaning.
However, as soon as Su Qianyin's divine sense swept away, he found that most of the people here were monks, and only a few mortals were mixed in.
Not long after, a person dressed as a shopkeeper walked towards her and greeted her warmly: "This immortal master, I don't know if you came to the shop to drink tea and rest for a while, or ......."
"I'm here looking for someone." Su Qianyin didn't talk to him much, and said directly.
"Oh, dare to ask the Immortal Master what is the name of the person you are looking for?"
"Dongli Xuan." Su Qianyin didn't hesitate at all, and spit out three words lightly.
Hearing this, the expression on Xiao Er's face became more respectful, and he bowed to her: "Immortal Master, please come with me, the person you are looking for is in the VIP room on the second floor at the moment." ”
Su Qianyin nodded, followed the shopkeeper up to the second floor, and after walking a few steps along the corridor, the junior stopped outside a private room engraved with the words "Yilan Pavilion".
The shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation with her right hand, signaling that the person she was looking for was inside, and then bowed her head and respectfully retreated.
Su Qianyin looked at the rather elegant room in front of her, she had already used her divine sense to investigate, but all around this room had been banned, and her divine sense could not enter it at all.
But she didn't worry too much, as early as on the way here, she had informed the two of them about her whereabouts of this trip with the technique of sound transmission, even if Dong Lixuan really had any bad thoughts, it was impossible to really rob her again.
Besides, now that she has a certain amount of cultivation, she may not have the power to protect herself in front of this person.
After thinking about this, her mind calmed down for a moment, and she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
But after a moment, a faint sentence came from inside, "Come in." ”
Gently pushed open the door and slowly stepped into the door, but the scene he saw made Su Qianyin's face stunned.
I saw Dong Lixuan dressed in a clean and light green robe, and he was brewing a pot of hot tea behind the table in a hurry, and the dense water vapor and the fragrance of tea blurred his eyebrows, making Su Qianyin, who was standing at the door, a little unreal.
"Su Daoyou, please take a seat, I've been waiting for you for a while."
After walking in, Dong Lixuan still had an indifferent smile on his face, this smile was very sincere and not mixed with other meanings, coupled with the melodious tea fragrance in the room, people couldn't help but feel relieved.
"I can't imagine that someone like Dong Lixuan actually knows how to drink tea......" she looked at him and thought secretly.
However, she did not let her guard down, and sat opposite Dong Lixuan with a trace of detachment on her face.
"I have always liked to taste tea, and my Dongdaozhou has always been a place rich in spiritual tea, and the spiritual tea produced is also extremely famous in the entire fog realm."
This Dong Lixuan seemed to know what she was thinking, and after glancing at her, he said with a smile on his face, which made Su Qianyin's face show a little unnatural.
Dong Lixuan raised a delicate jade pot in his hand, and slowly poured a cup of steaming tea in front of her, while also introducing:
This tea is called "Luo Xianchun", it is one of the several kinds of spiritual tea that I like to drink the most, it is a special thing made by my Dongli clan, not only smells fragrant, sweet and elegant, but also contains spiritual power, low-level monks can also increase the spiritual power in the body, improve the realm, Su Daoyou may wish to taste it. ”
Su Qianyin frowned secretly in her heart, she didn't believe that this Donglixuan was really looking for herself to drink a few cups of tea, although the spiritual tea in front of her was indeed as he said, the fragrance of tea was far and clear, and the aura was faintly exposed, but she still shook her head:
"Thank you for your hospitality, but the juniors have never liked to drink tea, for fear of ruining this thing in vain, and then the juniors can't stay here for too long, if the seniors have anything to say, let's say it directly."
Dong Lixuan frowned, the woman in front of him seemed to be on his guard at all, but looking at the cup of spiritual tea that had not been touched, there was a look of pity in his eyes.
This "Luo Xianchun" can be said to be the top spiritual tea of his Dongli family, which is difficult to buy in the outside world, and it is impossible to ask for it, and the planting conditions are very harsh and extremely difficult to find.
In the clan, only a few ancestors in the infancy stage are qualified to have some, even he, the young patriarch of the Dongli clan, also got that little bit through the favor of the elders, and the total sum is only a few taels, and today it is really as the woman in front of him said, it was "wasted".
But it's a pity, he naturally won't take the initiative to say it in front of the other party, coughed lightly, and said with a straight look: "I'm afraid that Su Daoyou agreed to meet this side with you, mostly because of the painting in your hand." ”
Hearing that Dong Lixuan finally introduced the topic, Su Qianyin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's right." ”
Hearing that she admitted it so frankly without concealing it at all, Dong Lixuan's expression was stunned, and somehow there was something wrong in his heart.
"Can you lend this painting to the next view, and by the way, tell me what is the mystery in this painting?"
As soon as Su Qianyin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she saw Dong Lixuan take a sip of tea lightly with an indifferent face, and suddenly said something that surprised her.
Although she didn't know what was in the painting, the scene of the first time she saw it still made her feel uneasy.
For some details, she had already thought through them on the way here, and she was not ready to tell the other party. As for whether he can find anything or see any clues, it has nothing to do with her, after all, she is also full of doubts and can't figure it out now.
After settling down, Su Qianyin replied with a smile: What is the mystery of this painting, and the juniors really don't know, but there is naturally no problem with handing it over to the seniors to see, and I think I will be able to see something with the cultivation of the seniors. ”
Dong Lixuan glanced at the expression on her face, and seeing that she said vaguely, he was not ready to ask more, so he nodded.
Su Qianyin's expression relaxed, and she immediately took out the painting from the storage bag and handed it to Dong Lixuan, "Senior, please take a look." ”
Almost simply looking at the tattered and yellowed scroll of the painting, Dong Lixuan could conclude that the painting was not damaged by improper preservation, but that it was indeed an extremely ancient object, and that it would not have lasted less than a thousand years.
After gently rubbing his hand on the body of the painting for a while, Dong Lixuan gently pulled the scroll open, and his gaze swept straight to the painting.
