Chapter 40: Tea and Wine

The old man who had come out of the courtyard was drinking tea.

His habit of drinking tea is very special.

The tea should be boiled very much, the first boiling water should not be boiled, the entrance should be scalded, the tea should not be the osmanthus cake of Dongxing Building, and the pig's head meat in the shop on West Street should not be boiled.

The old man once said that boiling tea is the best to drink.

So, the old man's refreshment is a burning knife at the northwest crossing.

In other words, the old man's appetizer is a pot of boiling tea.

Tea with wine, such a way to drink, the entire Great Jin Dynasty is afraid that there is only one old man.

The old man also has a habit of listening to stories when drinking tea and wine.

He likes stories that have happened recently, and in a foreign word a thousand years from now, they are called news.

There has always been a lot of news from the sect, and all of them are one after another.

But when the old man drinks tea and wine, he likes to enjoy it with his eyes closed. So every time this happens, someone has to read the news for him.

As for this person, he is naturally the second highest official position in the courtyard.

Today's deputy head of the courtyard is still a teenager, he was still playing with flowers and grass a while ago, but now he has become the number two person from the sect to the top of 10,000 people.

Chen Taozhi's deputy head of the courtyard looked at the newspaper in his hand and trembled, and he couldn't read the words on it clearly.

"Last night, around the time of the child, the child, someone, that, the first glimpse of the ......"

Chen Taozhi's voice was also a little trembling, and he realized that it was not the newspaper in his hand that was trembling, but his own hands.

Gritted his teeth. He tried to stop his arm from shaking, but to no avail.

The text in front of me is like an ant that is constantly writhing, and it is completely unreadable.

"Youth, ten, ten, seventeen more than ......"

The old man opened his eyes. looked at the young man in front of him who was trembling like chaff, and gave him a fierce look.

Chen Taozhi didn't see this look, otherwise he would be as nervous as he was, and he was afraid that he would faint directly.

"Don't read it, tenten, ten! Did your mother stutter you or something! It makes people's ears itch and suffocate Lao Tzu! The old man snapped and put the wine cup on the table. Will you pour the wine? Pour the wine! ”

“…… Be! Poor Chen Taozhi almost cried, and he rubbed his knees next to the dining table, this time. He was closer to the old man, just at such a distance, Chen Taozhi felt as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, if he hadn't tried his best to straighten his waist. I'm afraid I'll lie on the ground the next moment.

Trembling like a cerebral thrombosis patient, he picked up the flask. Pour a glass of wine for the old man. Just such a simple action, Chen Taozhi was already sweating, and his back was already soaked.

The old man didn't seem to see it, so he simply took the newspaper and looked through it.

It was written about the big and small things in the immortal cultivation world of Jiankang City, and the old man looked at the mess on it, commented a few words from time to time, and laughed out loud.

"Old man Li is such a strange temper, and he will be like this after practicing for another hundred years. It's really hard for his children and grandchildren. ”

"This kid is good, he has cultivated to such an extent at a young age. A ragged colt may make a good horse! ”

"Hah! This Qiao Shan is also a quick temper, this time he was slapped in the face by a little girl, see how he will yell at him in the future. ”

The old man was obviously in a good mood, and he took a sip of hot tea, followed by a large mouthful of burning knives.

The aroma of the tea and the spicy smell of the knife spread at the same time, and the hot smell almost stimulated the blood of the whole body.

The old man felt very comfortable, so he sighed with satisfaction.

At the end of the sigh, a faint breath floated from afar, although it was only a very light trace, but it was enough for him to perceive.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, the old man stretched out his hand and lightly drew the talisman seal in mid-air, and with a slight click, a picture was revealed.

That's where the West Market is, and dozens of people are loosely formed in a circle, kneeling down towards the center. Their expressions were pious and fearful, some excited, some tearful.

There were two people in the center of the circle, one of whom was an old man, and he was also kneeling.

The other was a young girl dressed in coarse cloth, and she just stood there sparsely, her eyes cold and indifferent, and her face was indifferent to her age.

Perhaps because he was too close to the girl, the old man's kneeling posture was more pious and humble, and his whole body trembled, just like Chen Taozhi's appearance in front of the old man.

The old man was already fainting, like a leaf in the autumn wind, and it was only a little bit before it was hung down to the dust.

The old man looked at the girl and narrowed his eyes.

Chen Taozhi himself saw this scene, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked and puzzled.

So he looked at the old man, although he was in awe and awe, but Chen Taozhi knew that no matter what question there was in this world, his head of the courtyard would have an answer.

"It's funny, it's all like this, and she's still alive. I don't know what kind of mind that brother over there has. ”

The head of the courtyard spoke, but Chen Taozhi didn't understand.

He didn't know who "she" was referring to, or who "that brother" was talking about.

It's just that the one who can be called "Brother Ren" by the old man is naturally a powerful person.

The old man seemed to remember something again, and moved the picture in front of him to the side, and a young man in a wheelchair appeared in the picture.

Someone stood in front of the young man with a knife, and the old man was a little satisfied, but he couldn't help laughing: "It's really nervous, but it's just a little breath." ”

Chen Taozhi was puzzled, but he recognized that the person standing in front of the young man was Huang Yixing Huang in the courtyard. As Lord Huang to protect a young man in a wheelchair, I don't know what the identity of this person is.

There are too many things that Chen Taozhi doesn't understand, but he doesn't dare to ask.

At this time, the young man in the wheelchair seemed to sense something, and looked through the void.

Chen Taozhi only felt a tightness in his heart, this feeling was too strange. It's like peeping on someone else, but being seen by someone else.

He didn't understand one thing even more, with the ability of the head of the house. Looking at people from thousands of miles, the other party shouldn't be aware of it, how does this person in a wheelchair feel here?

Maybe it's just a coincidence?

Chen Taozhi thought so, but saw the person in the wheelchair bowing slightly to this side.

It was like being hit by someone, and Chen Taozhi was shocked. I looked at this scene in front of me in disbelief.

No! That's impossible! Even Lord Huang Yixing and Lord Huang didn't notice the far-sighted technique of the head of the hospital, how did this person perceive it? Who the hell is he?

I looked sideways at the head of the courtyard, but found that the other party was not the slightest surprised. Instead, he stroked his beard with satisfaction, and scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, you are doing well, you will enjoy it better than Lao Tzu." ”

Chen Taozhi has been hit a little numb today. He had never seen the head of the courtyard say such affectionate words. It's just that he doesn't know it. The voice of the head of the courtyard "Lao Tzu" is not the proud self-title of the past, but the real original meaning.

Of course, he didn't dare to think like that.

Some things have long faded in the memory of the older generation. Even Huang Yixing only knows a little roughly, let alone a young man like Chen Taozhi?

The old man looked at the mess in front of him, raised his hand and took a sip of the spirits, I don't know how. I choked and coughed. Coughed up tears.

Chen Taozhi panicked and was at a loss for a while.

"It's old, it's old." The old man sighed slightly, "I think I should also go home and open a tavern to enjoy my old age." ”

Chen Taozhi was even more panicked.

Ever since he started practicing, the name of the head of the academy has been floating in the sky. Not only for him, but for thousands of cultivators, they had long been accustomed to the existence of the head of the courtyard, and they were accustomed to this old man holding great power, and they couldn't imagine what kind of existence the immortal cultivation world would be without the old man.

As if feeling the shock of everyone, the old man suddenly laughed: "Just kidding, if I am Zhishi, who of you can take care of the affairs in the northwest?" ”

When he laughs, he bares his teeth.

Some of the teeth have withered and yellowed, and some have loosened.

Chen Taozhi looked at him, and then suddenly realized that he was really old.

"It's so laid-back!" The old man waved his sleeves, brushed away the picture in the distance, took a sip of hot tea, felt the tip of his tongue tingle slightly, and sighed with satisfaction.

At this moment in the West Market, Xie Xiaoman looked at the crowd kneeling in front of him, his eyes slowly regained a little vitality, and everything in front of him quickly became detailed.

She was startled, the events that had just happened were vivid, but she couldn't believe it.

It's obviously my own experience, but for some reason, it seems to be separated by a layer of mist, which makes people feel unreal no matter what.

No! It must not be true!

How can that feeling of being above all things, that feeling of treating human life as a haze, be the cognition in one's own heart?

I haven't experienced this feeling before, but most of the feelings I feel when I am meditating, even if I occasionally come from the bottom of my heart at ordinary times, I will dissipate immediately, and it will never affect others.

But what is all this going on now......

She looked at the crowd of people kneeling down in front of her, her heart tightened, and she felt chills.

Not daring to stay here for another half a minute, Xie Xiaoman almost ran away, his footsteps messy like Qingfeng Pavilion.

Just after taking a few steps, she saw Huang Yixing and Chu Qingfeng.

Huang Yixing looked at her with complicated eyes, scrutinizing, puzzled, and hostile. It was Chu Qingfeng, although he also looked thoughtful, but he still had a faint smile, and he did not reject the indifference of thousands of miles away.

Xie Xiaoman's heart was slightly relieved, and she subconsciously took a few steps forward, opening her mouth to say something, but she found that her voice was very dry and tight, and most importantly, she didn't know what she should say.

The autumn breeze is bleak, and the fallen leaves return to their roots.

The wind chimes that had been ringing eagerly regained their calm, and in the autumn wind, occasionally jingling softly, far away and clear.

Thousands of miles away, the camel bell also rang. (To be continued......)
