Chapter 439: Twin Souls (13)
The reason why I think this way is mainly because the age difference between us is too big, and as the saying goes, there must be demons when things go wrong, which makes me have to take a dike.
If you want to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, the old man saw that I didn't speak, and immediately understood, and didn't speak, raised his hand and put aside a few plays on the table, and took out a rag from under the table to wipe the table.
At this moment, a crisp voice came, "Master, your tea set and Biluochun are here." ”
"Good!" The old man smiled slightly, motioned for Wang Jing'er to put down the tea set and tea leaves, and said, "Jing'er, tell this little guy something for the teacher, you listen to it next to you, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask." ”
As he spoke, the old man began to tinker with the tea set, his tea set was simple and abnormal, with only one tray and a few tea sets, but the packaging of the tea leaves was quite strange, it was a green box, in the center of the box, there was half a figure, and that half of the figure looked like plum grass.
This made me hesitate and glance at the box several times.
The old man probably saw my eyes, didn't speak, took out three spoonfuls of tea leaves and put them in the teapot, and began to carefully pound the tea leaves.
Taking advantage of this, I looked at Wang Jing'er, and found that her eyes had been staring at the old man's hand, as if she was thinking about something.
The old man was about three or four minutes of tinkering, and slowly said, "Xiao Jiu, this first cup of tea is brought to you by the old man, I hope you can understand the old man's intentions." ”
After speaking, the old man put the teacup in front of me, and there were only six points of tea in the teacup, and occasionally a piece of tea floated on it, and the slightest heat rose.
I picked up the teacup, didn't drink it directly, but glanced at the old man, then at the teacup in my hand, and said, "Old man, Xiao Jiu can understand your intentions, but... The world is impermanent, Xiao Jiu is also incompetent, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
As soon as these words came out, the old man's face was slightly stunned, and then he smiled and said, "That's it, since this is the case, the old man is not embarrassed by you, the old man only hopes that if you have the ability in the future, you can help." ”
I hummed, picked up the teacup and drank it all, as for the old man's intention of this cup of tea just now is very simple, first of all, the old man has already lit this first cup of tea to me, which means that he respects me very much and hands me the tea that originally belonged to him.
The second is that the teacup is only six points of tea, this six points of tea has an additional meaning, I thought I heard Jiang Ye say, pour eight points of tea, and six points have two meanings, one is that the host is dissatisfied with the guests, and the other is that the host has something to ask for.
And this has something to ask for, and you have to look at the owner's teacup, I just took a special look at the old man's teacup, his teacup only has five points of tea, which is enough to prove that the old man should have something to ask for.
Finally, the tea leaves in the teacup, I have seen the old man's tea pouring tool before, the outlet is extremely fine, only the size of a pinhole, it stands to reason that the tea leaves cannot come out of the teapot, the only explanation is that the old man did it on purpose.
And looking at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, this should be the old man expressing to me their current situation, which means that the four of them are like this tea leaf, floating and uncertain, and have no fixed place.
Thinking of the previous two points, the result is that the old man should want me to help them find a place for them to live, and when I came in, Wang Jing'er said that they belonged to an organization.
So, in the end, the old man is for me to provide them with a place that is enough for them to organize their activities.
I don't even have a fixed place for myself now, where do I have the ability to find such a place for them, so I rejected the old man.
Just when I was stunned, the old man squinted, smiled slightly, and said: "Xiao Jiu, the old man has lived on the top of the mountain for a long time, and he has nothing to worry about the matter of Hongchen, but the three disciples need to find a way out, so I have the cheekiness to ask you a few questions, and I hope that Xiao Jiu can solve the doubts in the old man's heart." ”
I was stunned, he was going to ask me a question? Hurriedly said: "You are always tormenting Xiao Jiu, how can the kid be able to solve the confusion in your old heart, but there are a few things that the kid is still unclear, I hope you can solve the kid's confusion." ”
"You kid, you really can't afford to lose anything!" The old man smiled, poured two cups of tea, and continued, "Say, what do you want to know?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I quickly stood up, bent down towards the old man to show respect, and said, "First, when I came in just now, how..."
Before I could finish speaking, the old man stopped and said with a smile: "You must have wanted to ask why when you came in, why there was a strange sound." ”
I nodded hurriedly, "Yes, this matter has been haunting the kid, and I hope the old man will give me some advice." ”
The old man smiled, as if he was very happy, and said, "Everyone who comes in will have this question, and this is not a novelty." ”
As he spoke, the old man looked at Wang Jing'er, who had never spoken on the side, and said lightly: "Jing'er, you can solve this doubt for him." ”
"Yes, master!" That Wang Jing'er answered, but when she looked at me, her eyes were very strange, and I guessed that she was still angry that I saw things that I shouldn't have seen when I came in.
I didn't care, so I asked her why.
She first glared at me, and then slowly spoke: "My master is a formation master, and he has been studying the formation on the top of this mountain all these years, and as for everything you encountered when you went up the mountain, it was actually deep in the formation. ”
"What formation?" I couldn't help but breathe quickly, I heard Lao Wang say before, saying that there are many formations corresponding to the stars in the formations above our funerals, just like the Taoist Big Dipper Seven Star Array, which is particularly popular in funerals.
And when Lao Wang told me about the formation, he said that the Big Dipper Seven Star Array was an entry formation in the funeral, to put it bluntly, this kind of formation is to do a small funeral in the countryside, once a large funeral is encountered, this Big Dipper Seven Star Array will definitely not work, one is that this formation can not suppress the evil spirit of the dead, and the other is that the scale of the Big Dipper Seven Star Array is not enough to support the scene.
I asked Lao Wang at the time, in addition to the Big Dipper Star Seven Star Array, what other formations could be used for funerals, and the answer he gave me at that time was that I didn't know.
Therefore, when I was doing funerals over the years, I often checked some books about formations, and I was depressed that I couldn't understand those profound things at all, and now listening to Wang Jing'er's tone, her master is a formation master, which made me have an idea that I must ask the old man for advice in case of emergency.
After all, in our Eight Immortals industry, it is impossible to always hold funerals in the countryside, in case we encounter something large-scale, we can't even get the most basic formation, isn't that a joke for others to see.
