Chapter 227: Riverside Tea House
Riverside Tea House.
This can be regarded as a scenic spot in Ningcheng, with pleasant scenery and elegant style.
The tea workshop is built near the Tianjiang River, sitting in the tea house, at a glance, you can see the vast and endless Tianjiang water.
But in such a season, drinking tea in the riverside tea shop is afraid that it is not enough to hold on.
As soon as the winter wind blows, the chiffon curtain of the tea house sways with the wind, as if it is much cooler.
When Li Changsheng went out, a light snow began to fall in the sky.
The snow in the south is not heavy, but the wind in the south is very strong.
The damp and cold wind blew, and I only felt the coolness of the yin and shade, as if it could penetrate the clothes and drill into the bones.
This riverside tea shop is one of the industries of Huatian Group, and only the aristocracy can afford this place on weekdays, but now the weather is cold, and there is no one.
However, the people who came seemed to have made preparations for a long time, and they took the whole place over, and they were really handy.
As soon as Li Changsheng arrived here, there was a special person to lead him there.
I only saw that the river was leisurely, it seemed to be eternal and unchanged, the snowflakes fell on the surface of the river, it seemed that the silver yarn of the river rose from the sky, and in the distance, the thin clouds and mist were filled, like a fairyland.
On top of a high platform pavilion near the river, an old man with gray sideburns sat at the table, his eyes were deep and far-reaching, looking at the endless surging river, and the whole person looked calm, indifferent and serene.
Behind him, two burly men in suits and leather shoes, with fierce faces, stood motionless.
Li Changsheng followed the servants to the pavilion and waited.
Someone came up to report: "Mo Lao...... Mr. Lee arrived. ”
The old man with gray sideburns bowed his head slightly and said, "Please come up." ”
Li Chang was angry and relaxed, and at this moment, he walked into the pavilion as if he were nothing.
Mo Lao looked at it, and only felt that at this moment, Li Changsheng seemed to be integrated with the scenery here and the surging river behind him, as if there was nothing.
But after looking at it again and again, that feeling disappeared again, Li Changsheng was still the same Li Changsheng, looking like an ordinary person.
Mo Lao was slightly in a trance.
Li Changsheng walked up to him, smiled faintly, and said, "Are you looking for me?" ”
Mo Lao came back to his senses, but he didn't get up, but just whispered: "I've been waiting for Mr. Li for a long time...... Mr. Lee...... You may be seated ......."
Li Changsheng was not polite and sat opposite Mo Lao.
Mr. Lee...... Taste the dragon well of this West Lake, produced in the Lion Peak, is a product, the color is green, fragrant, and the taste is sweet. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Lao poured a cup for Li Changsheng with his own hands.
When the tea is put into the cup, the smell of the rising fragrance bubbles out, revealing the wisps of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
Li Changsheng smiled slightly, didn't say much, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip.
Sure enough, when the tea enters the mouth, it already feels sweet, and when it enters the throat, it is a little sweet and astringent, and then into the abdomen, I only feel that the internal organs are wrapped in warmth.
The weather outside was so cold that it made people shiver, but Mo Lao and the two men in suits and leather shoes behind him didn't seem to care, as if the cold of this deep winter fell on the river in front of them.
Mo Lao didn't look at Li Changsheng either, just looked at the river in the distance from the high platform of the pavilion, and after a long time, he said: "I have heard that there are talents in the country and mountains, each leading the way for hundreds of years, but before that, I still didn't believe it...... But when I saw Mr. Li today, I was a little convinced. ”
"A hundred years, a thousand years, so what? I'm just a layman, I can't compare to the old gentleman's elegance, I came today, I also came for something, the old gentleman is waiting for me here, doesn't he just want to drink a cup of hot tea with me? ”
Li Changsheng smiled faintly, his expression indifferent.
"People outside respect me for my age, and they all call me 'Mo Lao'." Mo Lao said lightly.
Li Changsheng's face was calm, looking at the old man in front of him, but he didn't speak.
After waiting for a long time, Mo Lao seemed to have seen enough of the river, so he turned around, smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Li is an understanding person, and I don't say dark words, the head descender is my person, and Tan Thirteen is also my person." ”
Li Changsheng smiled slightly, still didn't speak, just stared at the old man in front of him.
These words, there is no need for Mo Lao to say them personally, Li Changsheng also knows them in his heart. If it weren't for the affairs of Huatian Group, there would not be today's pot of tea.
If he came here today, it was not for the affairs of Haijian Group, Li Changsheng would also be interested, and in this place with unique scenery, he would have a few cups of hot tea with leisure and elegance.
It's just that drinking alcohol depends on the person, and drinking tea also depends on the person.
This Mo Lao has a lofty posture, like a master outside the world, slightly arrogant, but in Li Changsheng's opinion, it seems like he is pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
Words are tigers that stand in the way, and clothes are mad hair. No matter how gorgeous the person in front of him is, he is dressed in gold, and he is ruined.
Mo Lao slowly took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "Twenty years ago, I traveled the world, in a small alley in Ningcheng, I saw a child, bullied by a group of children, I couldn't bear it, and went up to stop it...... I have never married a wife or had children in my life, and I have treated him as if he were my own. ”
Li Changsheng shook his head with a smile and said: "You thought this was your good intentions, but in fact, you did a big bad thing, you have no Taoist heart, but you take in disciples in vain, teach him magic powers, but don't teach him to be a man, Tan Shisan has this fate, thanks to you...... If you hadn't accepted him as an apprentice at the beginning, he would have been a peaceful and steady person, and he would have lived an ordinary life, maybe he might not have become so vicious, and he would have wasted people's lives for his selfish desires. ”
Mo Lao seemed to sigh with emotion, and did not refute it, but he also shook his head, and asked Li Changsheng rhetorically: "A person who learns the Tao can really become an immortal?" ”
Li Changsheng looked at the distant river and said slowly: "Why do people who learn the Tao want to become immortals? ”
"If you can't become an immortal by learning the Tao, why are scholars? Some people learn the Tao all their lives, just to one day worship the prince of the east, see the queen mother of the west, above the nine heavens, kowtow in front of the Sanqing gate, but the way of heaven has not changed in the past, and those who become immortals can be free in the world, and now they ...... The way of heaven has changed, there is a separation between people and immortals, what is this long road of cultivation for? Could it be ...... Is it more noble than the seven emotions and six desires, glory and wealth in this world? ”
Mo Lao seemed to be in a somewhat moody mood, and at this moment, his complexion changed slightly.
He studied the Tao all his life, but in the end, he found that he didn't even have the qualifications to become an immortal and ascend, and it was inevitable that he would fall into the evil path with a single thought.
When Li Changsheng heard this, he laughed out loud and said: "Wealth and glory, heaven is the master of the sky, I can't be the master, steel bones are righteous, I can't be the master, even if you can't let go of the glory and wealth of this world, why do you need to use some rhetoric to impose the sin on the heavens?" ”
The voice fell, and outside the pavilion, the wind and snow rolled down in an instant.
