Chapter 142: The Priestess
The man in black, known as "Mr. Shi", broke the ambergris very neatly, put it into the incense burner, and asked, "Who has a lighter?" β
Chen Feiying looked at Jimo Qinglian and saw that she didn't speak, so he immediately smiled, took out a lighter from his pocket, and handed it over.
"Is there smoke?" Mr. Shi asked.
Chen Feiying shook his head, he remembered that Qi Yanwu once said that Mo Qinglian hated the smell of smoke very much, so since he came to visit, he didn't bring cigarettes.
"Yes, I'll get it for you" Qi Yanwu said, he didn't expect that this uncle would actually smoke.
When Qi Yanwu came over with a cigarette, Mr. Shi had already lit the so-called ambergris very responsibly, and then, just like that, he threw it into the incense burner, and a strange fragrance wafted out.
"Give me the cigarette" Mr. Shi took the cigarette from Qi Yanwu's hand, took out one, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.
"Mr. Shi, I don't know which brand of cigarettes you like?" Qi Yanwu asked, "If you don't like this brand, I'll go out and buy it later." β
"No need," Mr. Shi had already lit a cigarette while speaking, and then, taking a hard puff, highlighting the smoke, sighed, "I haven't smoked for a long time...... Poor man's child, you can't afford to hurt it."
Jimo Qinglian sat beside him, almost vomiting blood when he heard the words, if he was a poor man's child, he would still be the kind that couldn't afford to be hurt, what was she, a big poor person? O proletariat......
"Mr. Shi, is there anyone poorer than you in this world?" Chen Feiying couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and sighed.
"I guess it's gone," Mr. Shi said seriously, "I'm so poor that I have even quit smoking." β
At this time, Niu Dasha walked in from the east wing, saw the cigarette in Mr. Shi's hand, and immediately changed his face, and then, snatched the cigarette from his hand and pressed it hard into the incense burner.
"Don't be so stingy, just smoke a cigarette," Mr. Shi sighed, "Fools don't want to deceive people too much." β
"Out of the Rejuvenation Workshop, you put up a cigarette as firewood, that's all your business, in the Rejuvenation Workshop, you can't smoke" Niu Dasha said with a cold face, "What if you die here with me?" β
"He's **," Mr. Shi cursed in a low voice.
Jimo Qinglian looked funny, but full of suspicion, looked up at Niu Dasha, Niu Dasha glanced at him, she originally wanted to ask Niu Dasha about the origin of this Mr. Shi yesterday, but Niu Dasha obviously didn't know very well, only knew that this person had a very good relationship with the monarch of the poison gate.
And the poison gate - there is no need, let alone a human, even if it is a ghost, it is not willing to provoke them.
But today, Niu Dasha's behavior is really a bit excessive, isn't it just a cigarette? Can you do it?
"What do you burn, it tastes good?" Niu Dasha stared at the incense burner and asked.
"The ambergris that Qinglian wants." Qi Yanwu replied instead of Chen Feiying.
"Lie to my sister, right?" Niu Dasha approached the incense burner, looked at it, and then shook his head and said, "This is ambergris?" Don't make such a low-level thing a liar, okay? β
"Isn't that be?" Chen Feiying suddenly became a little anxious, he didn't come to deceive people.
"Of course not," Niu Dasha shook his head, "Although I don't know what you are, I can guarantee that you are not ambergris." β
"You kid is really scenic" Mr. Shi's cigarette was taken away by Niu Dasha, but he didn't say anything, and said with a smile at this time, "Obviously, people want to make your sister happy, I don't know where to find a branch of incense to tease her, do you want to tell it?" This thing is far inferior to sandalwood, where is ambergris? β
"Impossible, this is something in the deep sea...... Chen Feiying muttered, "How can it not be ambergris?" β
"There are many natural legends of ambergris, due to its rarity, many people think that it is produced in the deep sea, but as a modern person, you can't use your brain to think, if it is really produced in the deep sea, how can it be in ancient times?" Mr. Shi smiled, "You just took it out, and I knew it was fake." β
"Then you didn't say it?" Jimo Qinglian complained in a low voice very dissatisfied.
"What did I say?" Mr. Shi was even more dissatisfied than him, "People are holding these withered branches and trying to make the little girl happy, and you are obviously the one who was coaxed - if I break it, the coaxed and the coaxed are not happy, what am I trying to do?" Figure you white-eyed. β
"But if it's not ambergris, what is it?" Qi Yanwu asked curiously.
"You don't know your stuff, how do I know?" Mr. Shi shook his head.
Chen Feiying was very disappointed, originally thought that this thing was the legendary ambergris, and was preparing to be cultivated, and it could be sold at a good price in the future, the commercial value of this thing is still very high, this year, who dislikes himself for having a lot of money?
However, now that he was poured a basin of cold water on the head by the mysterious Mr. Shi, he was immediately depressed.
"This is probably an unknown plant in the sea, right?" Qi Yanwu thought for a while, and then said, "You don't have to be discouraged, anyway, this thing has a mellow fragrance, and it has the effect of reminding the mind, maybe there are other effects, if you can cultivate it, you say this ambergris, this is ambergris, who can really refute you?" β
Even if Niu Dasha and Mr. Shi both say that this is not ambergris, then, unless they have real ambergris in their hands, you will not be convincing at all.
However, even if they have real ambergris in their hands, so what, these years - when the fake is true, it is also false, as long as Chen Feiying hypes it up, this thing is ambergris, and everything else is fake.
"Ambergris is a very strange medicine, which requires several herbs to be steamed, boiled, stuffed, dried and so on, and then blended together, the procedures are complicated, and if any link goes wrong, it will fail," Mr. Shi said, "So, as long as I don't say it, in this world, you say that this thing is ambergris, and no one really refutes you." β
"Mr. Niu also knows," Chen Feiying lowered his head and sighed.
"He knows he can't make ambergris." Mr. Shi smiled, "He knows that it's because the priestesses of the medicine sect can use it, but even if they know, they don't have a formula." β
"Ji girl?" Qi Yanwu looked at Jimo Qinglian, what other Ji girl is in the medicine gate?
Even Mo Qinglian is also very embarrassed, and she also doesn't know what kind of girl there is in the medicine gate? I have heard it in the past that their medicine is more noble, and those who join the WTO will be stammered by the powerful people, as long as they do not get involved in the political situation, they can generally enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.
And regardless of men and women, men can be officials, and women can also marry into wealthy families, become the grandmother's wife in charge, and even marry into the royal family, which is highly respected...... But where to start?
"It's a sacrifice of sacrifice." Mr. Shi knew that they had misunderstood, and immediately said lightly, "The priestesses of the medicine gate and the medicine gate are distinguished and extraordinary. β
"And that said?" Niu Dasha asked curiously, "Why don't I know?" β
"Because there has been a problem with the priestess of your medicine gate recently, and the medicine gate is a great shame, so naturally I won't say it." When Mr. Shi said this, he couldn't help but look at Jimo Qinglian.
Niu Dasha frowned slightly, there was something wrong with the priestess of the medicine gate? What went wrong? Why did the old man never talk about it, and besides, looking at Jimo Qinglian's expression, he shouldn't know.
"Medicine Gate Priestessβwhat's the taboo?" Qi Yanwu quickly grasped the point of this topic and asked.
"I can't get married, let alone give birth," Mr. Shi said with a smile, "That's it, their identity is equivalent to my identity in the poison gate - if there is a major problem in the three gates, or if it involves a devastating disaster of annihilation, the priestess need to communicate with the gods, so the priestess must be virgins, even if they die of old age, they can't get along with men." β
"It sounds like some kind of subject," Qi Yanwu shook his head and said, "Where is there such a statement now?" β
"Yes, no, so, the priestess of Yaomen eloped with people, and even the children came out, so Yaomen never mentioned the matter of the priestess to the public." Mr. Shi smiled softly and said, he looked at Jimo Qinglian again.
"I really don't know, our door, there is this rule?" Niu Dasha shook his head and said, "No matter how noble the priestess is, it's not a big deal, sister, if we choose a priestess or something in the future, you should hurry up and stay away." β
"I'm not interested either," Jimo Qinglian shook her head.
"The priestess is congenital, not elected," Mr. Shi laughed.
"Then Mr. Shi, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, since the priestesses of the Medicine Gate are not able to marry and have children, your identity is similar to them in the Ghost Gate, can you find a woman?" Qi Yanwu asked.
In fact, his question was very polite, and it can be said that it was extremely rude.
But Mr. Shi didn't care, just smiled: "I have a wife." β
I don't know why, when Mr. Shi said such a sentence, Mo Qinglian felt that a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes that were like black jade, but more sadness.
This is a man who looks easy-going and lazy on the surface, but is full of vicissitudes and helplessness in his bones.
"Ambergris is my usual spice, so as long as I don't say it, no one will know about it, even if you take this broken branch as ambergris," Mr. Shi laughed.
"Fake is fake after all" Chen Feiying was originally enthusiastic, and at this time he was completely disinterested, but he was very interested in the man in black, because he had been in contact with Mr. Shi in the early years, he knew a little better than Qi Yanwu, and knew that this person was just easy-going on the surface, but he was ruthless in his bones, and he wanted to kill him.
"It's okay, as long as you like it, it doesn't matter what kind of fragrance it is, I don't like incense in the first place, I like the fragrance of flowers." Jimo Qinglian is still interested, the natural incense tree still grows at the bottom of the sea, she still likes it, but the ambergris prepared with various herbs, she is not interested, so she said to Chen Feiying, "I want to give you a pot of flowers." β
