Chapter 8 Drinking Tea

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming and Mo Han caught up with the Miaomen who infiltrated the city, and after solving it in the backyard of Rong Bao Zhai, they went to the palace. Visiting late at night, Mu Qingming didn't do anything else, but just wanted to ask the old man for some salt. brought out Mu Qingming and the old man of the palace to talk at night, indicating that what he wanted was not ordinary salt, but the rock salt that the old man said was private. When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but say that he gave Mu Qingming a piece of rock salt that he had hidden without hesitation. 】

Above the palace hall, the wick crackled under the burning candles.

The old man of the palace, who was stunned when he heard this, stared at Mu Qing with his eyes wide open and looked at him stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

Hearty laughter echoed between the beams of the room, and the old man put down the teacup, squinted and smiled: "Young Master Mu, is this a joke?" If you want salt, you can wait for the dawn to go to the counter and get it. I'll give you as much as you want. ”。

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mu Qingming laughing as well, and the old man suddenly felt that things were not as simple as he had guessed.

If it was really just to ask for some salt, Mu Qingming wouldn't have been able to visit in the middle of the night.

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly put away his smile.

"I don't want salt from your counter." Sure enough, when the old man put away the smile on his face, Mu Qingming had already spoken: "What I want to buy is your private collection, the rock salt from Pingdingshan." ”。

Rock salt is a halide that is a hexahedral or octahedral crystal.

It is formed by the precipitation of layers in the earth's crust after the ancient seawater or lake water dried up, through complex geological movements. After processing, it can also be made into table salt.

However, Mu Qingming didn't come to eat, he asked for rock salt to deal with the Immortal Dao.

Recently, the Immortal Dao quietly activated the corpse breeding ground outside the Palm Tree Camp, and buried a large number of dead corpses in it, making them zombies, which has been known to Mu Qingming. Presumably, their next actions are inseparable from zombies.

To prepare for a rainy day, Mu Qingming needs rock salt. In this way, it is ground into a needle-like substance and pierced into the various acupuncture points on the corpses in advance. In this way, the magnetic field inside the corpse that has been resurrected from the dead can be disturbed.

As a result, although the dead corpses will become dead and incorruptible zombies due to the place where the corpses are raised, the magnetic field is disturbed by the fine needles of rock salt pierced into the body, so they cannot move smoothly.

That's why Mu Qingming came to the old man Gong, hoping to get rock salt from him.

When the palace master heard this, he was not surprised, and he didn't ask Mu Qingming what he wanted this thing for, but he just asked Mu Qingming with a smile again: "It was the little girl who told you that there is a collection of rock salt in my house, right?" ”。

"Not bad." Mu Qingming didn't deny it, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup. Mo Han took over the words and said slowly to the old man of the palace: "Half a month ago, Xiaoyuan came to my house as a guest; During the banquet, she talked about the collection, and she mentioned that the old man of the palace has collected three pieces of blocky rock salt from Pingdingshan, which looks quite like crystals dug out of deep caves, and the whole body is translucent. As soon as the light shines, it suddenly shines brightly. ”。

"That's right, these three pieces of rock salt are the best in my rock salt collection." And the old man Gong smiled when he heard this, and he did not deny it, but clapped his hands after saying this in a slightly proud tone.

When the sound of stroking the palm landed, the door of the hall opened from the outside, and the old porter hung his hands in front of him, stood in front of the threshold and saluted slightly: "Master, what do you command?" ”。

"Go to my room and get the three pieces of rock salt from the top of the mountain." After the old man of the palace explained, he picked up the teacup again, and motioned to Mu Qingming to calm down and sit down for a while.

After a few moments, the old porter turned back, and there was already an extra wooden plate in his hand.

"Young Master Mu and Mrs. Mu will take a look." When the old man said this, the old porter just answered, and walked to Mu Qingming and Mo Han with a wooden plate and stood there.

Mu Qingming and Mo Han raised their eyes and saw three pieces of rock salt lying quietly in the wooden plate, with two square rock salt the size of fists. Two of them are colorless and transparent, and the other is red.

Under the light of the candlelight, he suddenly gave up the bright seven-colored light, which was very dazzling.

"Sure enough, it's a good rock salt, there are no impurities and flaws at all, it must have been an ancient thing 10,000 years ago." After looking at it for a moment, Mu Qingming withdrew his gaze from the rock salt and turned his head to look at the old man of the palace: "Can you cut a piece of love, you will determine the price." ”。

"Exactly." The old man who put down the teacup waved his hand and said without hesitation: "You just have to choose; You and I don't talk about buying and selling, we don't talk about money, we just take it if we like. ”。

"I can't bear to pay for this love." Although Mu Qingming was happy, he still felt that it was a bit unreasonable not to pay, so he hurriedly said politely: "It's better for the old man to set a price, I want this piece of transparent." ”。

After Mu Qing finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the transparent and colorless rock salt in the middle of the wooden plate.

Seeing his firm face, the old man also knew that Mu Qingming was not a person who liked to be greedy for friends, if he didn't set the price, Mu Qingming would never take away the rock salt.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, the old man of the palace smiled slightly, raised the index finger on his right hand, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then a piece of the ocean." ”。

"A little more." Mu Qingming smiled and lifted his teacup.

He knew very well that this kind of rock salt was very old, and it was definitely not an ocean, and the old man Gong set the price like this, just to give him a step. But he can't take advantage of people's danger, so he really only pays a dollar.

"Someone in my palace has made a promise, saying that it is a piece is a piece, and he will never regret it." The old man of the palace no longer increased the price, and after gesturing to the old porter, he immediately said categorically: "Go and give it to Young Master Mu and wrap that piece of rock salt." ”......

Three days later, it was still hot in the spring city at dusk.

While the last rays of sunlight have not faded, every cicada in the shade of the trees in the city is still singing loudly.

Some of the people in the city couldn't eat, so they had to carry small benches, gather in groups of three or five around the big trees, and shake the fans in their hands to enjoy the cool chat.

In the midst of comfort, the last group of ten immortal Taoists, under the leadership of Li Jin, entered the city from the west gate and then headed east.

All the way away, this captain Shengdao has never taken off the straw hat he wears on his head.

They walked across Qianju Street, came to the edge of the Green Lake, and walked straight into a simple tea shed by the lake.

There were no guests outside of them in this thatched-roofed tea shed, and there were no walls, doors and windows, only four thick columns stood on the four sides of the straw shed, supporting the straw roof and the beams under the roof.

Under the sunset, the water in the green lake, which should be rippling blue waves, is red. The emerald green lotus leaves and the blooming pink lotus flowers swayed gently in the evening breeze.

After Li Jin led his subordinates to sit down at the square table set up in the grass shed, he asked Xiao Er who immediately came over to wipe the table for them, "Are the sweat pills ready?" ”。

The shopkeeper didn't answer, but the shopkeeper came over and whispered to him respectfully: "If you go back to the second hall master, everything is ready, just wait for Mu Qingming to come." ”。

"Very good, tell the sixth child, go and wait on the formation eye, and I will bring Mu Qingming directly to the formation eye in a while." After finishing speaking, Li Jin stood up, picked up the straw hat and buckled it on his head, and strode towards the outside of the straw shed.

Then the shopkeeper gave the shopkeeper another look, and the shopkeeper also followed Li Jin except for the tea shed, but walked in the opposite direction of Li Jin's departure.

After the sunset, the white clouds in the sky were red, and the shopkeeper took the teapot casually and began to cook tea for the immortals who remained in the grass hut.

After Li Jin left the tea shed, he found a secluded place where no one came, and took out a human face as thin as a cicada's wings from his sleeve, and put it on his face......

In the small courtyard of the Mu family, after Mu Qingming rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the study, he wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead with his cuffs, and then put the stack of rune paper that he turned out into his sleeve.

"Today is the day when the yin and yang written in the demon books of the Immortal Dao are reversed, why haven't you seen the Immortal Dao take action?" At this moment, Mo Han walked in from outside the house, stood beside Mu Qingming, and asked with a little anxiety on his face, "It can't be that the Immortal Dao knows about our plan, right?" ”。

"No, Uncle Tie Hua and Aunt Tie Hua, who withdrew from the formation just now, also sent a message saying that a large number of Immortal Dao had entered the city." Mu Qingming turned around and smiled indifferently at Mo Han, and said, "Don't worry. ”。

"Hmm." Mo Han nodded, the anxiety on his face faded a little, but the anxiety in his heart did not decrease but increased; And a little nervous.

Tonight, if there is no accident, she can find Changshengdao to settle the account that the other party deceived her, and at the same time completely avenge Mei Xiang. She desperately hoped that the Immortal Dao would drill into the bureau they had set up and start the action on time.

The twilight has dissipated, and the heavens and the earth have darkened. A little star, in the blue sky, appeared.

"Tuk tuk", there was a knock on the door.

"Here we are." There was a flash of joy in Mu Qingming's eyes, and then he said something meaningful, and at the same time gave Mo Han a look, and after signaling her to be silent in the study, he turned around and walked out of the study, walking towards the door.

After coming to the gate of the courtyard, he slowly opened the latch and opened the door again.

Then he saw Brother Wang and stood outside the door. Mu Qing suddenly knew that this was a disciple of the Immortal Dao.

He didn't reveal the identity of the other party, just smiled indifferently, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he asked him in a very unfriendly tone: "What's the matter, police Wang?" Are you going to arrest someone or lock me up again? ”。

As he spoke, Mu Qingming looked around left and right, as if he was looking for something. Then he paused, and asked again: "Where is your master Zhao Liang?" ”。

"Mu Qingming, don't be complacent. The police department can't find your evidence and temporarily release you back doesn't mean that you are not the culprit in the Rong Bao Zhai case. After snorting lightly, the king pouted and said, "I came here to invite you to tea for my master." He said he would make amends for the fact that he had imprisoned you a few days ago. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not. This tone is also very tough.

"Tea?" After Mu Qingming pretended to be slightly stunned, the displeasure on his face was replaced by fox suspicion, and at the same time asked casually, "What kind of tea do you drink at night?" If you don't drink during the day and drink at night, what is he Zhao Liang going to do? ”。

When the king saw that he was suspicious, he was secretly shocked in his heart, for fear that Mu Qingming would not follow him.

And Mu Qingming lowered his head slightly, pretending to be contemplative, and quietly glanced at the usual face of the king brother, and smiled secretly in his heart. Then he raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Okay, drink tea, drink tea, you lead the way, and I will go with you." ”。
