Under the old lady, that is, my grandfather inherited the ancestral tea house, the small shop is called "Tongling Tea House", the shop is as its name, we not only do people's business, but also do ghosts and demons and other transactions, the old lady often said, there is a fairy world under the god world, and the world under the fairy world is divided into Tai, Qing, Zhong, Xuanzhou, we are located in Zhongzhou and the Qingzhou next door through some hidden connection points, our tea house is one of the connection points, a lot of spiritual tea in the store is said to be wholesale from Cheongzhou, where the immortals and demons live, Therefore, the name of tea has never been heard outside, such as cloud tea, green pearl tea, fire spirit tea, bright eye tea and so on in the store.

However, I didn't know what the legendary Cheongju was like, and how the unfamous tea leaves in the store were imported, until I inherited the tea house.

For example, when I was in the fifth grade of primary school, it was a hot summer night of the Midyear Festival, and I was squatting outside the tea house eating watermelon and counting the stars, when a group of strange people suddenly appeared beside me.

The reason why those people are weird is because they feel so quiet, ordinary people walk without footsteps and have to be a little panting, the group of people walk without even a little panting, they are wearing long shirts, cloth shoes, expressionless, pale, a pair of lifeless eyes staring at the tea house behind me.

A group of people ignored my existence, bypassed me and walked straight into the tea house, when they walked past me, I could feel the chill several times colder than the winter wind, I looked back at the group of people who walked into the tea house out of curiosity, I didn't expect this look almost scared my soul away, because I was squatting at the time, I saw that their feet were not on the ground at all! No wonder the group walked without footsteps!

The group just took small steps and floated to the counter without touching their feet.

The old lady stood behind the counter, looked at the group of people who came in with an expressionless face, nodded at them, and asked lightly, "What kind of tea do you want to order?" ā€

The man in the lead, with a thin horse face, did not answer the old lady's question, but placed a note and a thick stack of money on the counter.

The old lady looked at the thick stack of banknotes on the table and cried with a sad face, as if he had made a loss-making deal, squatted down and took out the tea leaves written on the note from the counter, weighed the weight, carefully packed it and handed it to the horse's face and whispered, "Six taels of soothing tea, a total of 1,302, you can take it back quickly, and please take care of other people's business next year."

Ma Yan took the tea and bowed to the old lady, then led everyone out of the tea house, watching the group leave, I ran back to the tea house quickly, but saw that the old lady did not put the money on the counter back to the cash cabinet at all, I took a closer look, the money on the counter turned out to be all dark coins!

Later, the old lady told me that those are the ghosts who came to the world to wander around in the Midyear Festival, and they came to buy tea to pay homage to the ghosts of the underworld, and this kind of customers queued up in the underworld to wait for reincarnation, and when they were fine, they were called by the ghosts to drink and work as coolies, but they only had the dark coins burned by their families, and they felt unkind to them if they wanted to refuse them, and they were really losing money if they didn't reject them, so they were the most troublesome customers.

Speaking of which, I have to mention my old lady, the old lady's name is Le Yannian, he is a famous strange old man, he is usually silent and rarely has contact with others, this old lady will lock himself in his room alone and talk to himself, his house never let me in, since I can remember that his door has rarely been opened, so his room is full of mystery for me, I slipped in once out of curiosity when I was a child, and I can't remember what happened after that, only clearly knowing that I was beaten up by the old lady later.

In addition, when I was a child, the old lady often got some more "mysterious" old books to show me, what "Outline of the Ghost Array", "Maoshan Fu Daquan", "Exorcism" and so on, for these ghost books printed behind the Working People's Publishing House, I have no trust at all, but under the pressure of the old lady's feather duster, I have the right to read it as a villain's book, and the things in it are still very interesting.

Getting back to the point, today I will introduce you to a spiritual tea, this tea is called Ningshen tea, which has the effect of sobering the mind and improving concentration, and is very popular among the people in its place of origin, Qingzhou, where it originates, and everyone can drink it from the people who cultivate immortals to ordinary people, and drinking this tea for a long time can keep people clear and clear from being confused by illusions. If I had been drinking Ningshen tea regularly, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed in the walls of the hundred ghosts.

The warm wind whispered to me in my ears, and in the darkness, I felt extremely relieved to snuggle up in the arms that exuded a faint fragrance, and I used all my strength to stretch my eyelids open, only to see the soft sunset dyeing the surrounding fields golden, and the surrounding scenery was running quickly behind me, and in front of me, a group of people kept waving at me.

"Where am I?" With a dull brain, I looked up weakly and saw the person holding me tightly, a beautiful sister with long red rope hair flowing and wearing a milky white dress was speeding through the fields with a weak me, and the fairy-like appearance made my young heart flutter.

The eldest sister looked down at me and showed a smile that I will never forget, and that beautiful smile was deeply imprinted in my heart like a fiery soldering iron.

"What's your name, big sister?" I asked, lip open, limp

The big sister's cherry lips opened slightly, as if she wanted to say something

"Lazy worm get up, lazy worm get up......" The alarm clock rang out inopportunely to interrupt my dream, and I sat up unwillingly, rubbing my eyes and seeing the familiar bedroom, I sighed softly, "What is that sister called?" ā€

I often see that dream at night, in which I seem to be being carried by a beautiful big sister in a period costume and speeding through the field, and this dream feels so real that I wonder if it really happened.

Stretching, I got up and washed up to start the day.

I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Lotte, Happy Le, Sky Day, I am a candidate who has just entered the third year of high school, my home is in Fuyun County, an inconspicuous town in Province G, similar to many left-behind children, my parents work in distant foreign countries, leaving me to live with an elderly old lady all year round.

Our family was originally a small courtyard house, the ancestors of the family were the small rich man who opened the tea house, and later criticized the rich rich peasants, my family was not able to be alone, the old lady and the young old lady were arrested every three or five to criticize the fight, the century-old tea house was also forced to close, after the reform and opening up, the old lady will be near the street of the house transformed into a tea house, and the old plaque stored for many years - Tongling Tea House is hung high, relying on this small shop to maintain the livelihood of our grandfather.

I left my hut and came to the courtyard, breathing in the cool but fresh air of winter, and I was full of energy, and a new day began!

Today is the final exam, I don't dare to be late, and I didn't say hello to the old lady before I picked up my schoolbag and ran out of the door.

Sitting in the report hall of the centralized examination, I looked at the math test papers that seemed to be heavenly books and frowned, as the saying goes, Chinese candidates have two natural enemies: mathematics and English, this is not wrong at all, I have a class hostile relationship with these two guys!

"It's over, my math score this time is over, and if you don't pass the test, the old lady has to beat me to death!" I lay helplessly on the table, letting the disgusting formula symbols on the test paper laugh at my weakness.

I felt a vibration in my thigh, took out my mobile phone, and found that it was a letter of help sent by Fan Hanlun's grandson who was sitting with him on WeChat, "The enemy army is besieging the city, 100,000 are urgent, please send reinforcements quickly!" "There is a picture of a blank test paper attached next to it, and this grandson didn't move a word!

A small note came from behind me inadvertently, and when I picked up the note, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was full of answers to math test papers!

"Which living Lei Feng is so send-off!?" I looked in the direction where the note was handed and saw a girl winking at me playfully with her big beautiful eyes, she was my hair boy and classmate Millie, my grades have been bad, and I rely on her to get through every exam.

I was about to copy the answers, when there was a commotion not far away, and I saw a young girl slowly getting up with the test paper.

"It is worthy of being the first in the grade, Wang Xue handed in the paper so quickly!" Seeing that Wang Xue was the first to hand in the paper next door, I gave her a thumbs up in admiration, Wang Xue has excellent grades and is also beautiful, she has always been the goddess in my heart, such a good girl doesn't know which bastard will marry her in the future!

I was thinking about it when Millie behind me quietly poked me in the back and sent me a note that read: Do you copy it or not?!

Order! I didn't bother to send Fan Hanlun the answer, I picked up the pen and flew quickly on the blank test paper.

Since there was still an exam in the afternoon, Fan Hanlun and I did not go home at noon, but had lunch at the small restaurant outside the school, preparing to grind until the afternoon exam.

"Ah, it's over, this math exam is hanging again! There is no hope of getting into college! Fan Hanlun lay on the table and cried weakly.

"Don't be discouraged, isn't there still half a year to take the college entrance examination after the New Year, work hard" I looked at the gloomy sky in the distance while drinking milk tea, and there was an inexplicable feeling of depression in my heart.

"Lord, why are you depressed, didn't that rice grain sister paper give you the answer, why do you look sadder than me?" Fan Hanlun saw that I had a dark face and did not speak, and curiously followed my gaze to look back at the gloomy sky.

"I'm kind of going home beforehand!" I suddenly got up and ran home, not even my school bag.

There is a reason why I am in such a hurry to rush home, I have been perceiving different from ordinary people since I was a child, just now I saw that the sky was filled with a strong ghostly aura, and the most ghostly place was facing the location of my house, did the old lady encounter any danger? Thinking of this, I didn't care about the afternoon exam, and ran straight home.

On the way home, a thin layer of fog gradually rose in the air, I was in a hurry to go home and didn't care about this detail, my home is located in the depths of the county fireworks alley (don't think the name is crooked), just ran into the alley I was surrounded by a thick white fog, the more I ran forward, the thicker the fog around me, until the white fog that seemed to be the northern winter haze made my visual range less than five meters, I quickly stopped.

After looking around, I was surprised to find that I had run for almost ten minutes in the 200-meter-long alley and did not reach the end, and the further I went, the thicker the fog became.

Doesn't the ghost hitting the wall only appear at night? I looked up at the sky in confusion and found that the gray mist had covered the sky above me, could it be that this fog had shrouded the entire county!?

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, stretched out my palms, and carefully felt the air around me for abnormalities with my skin, a disturbing and familiar chill mixed with the cold and humid air stimulated my bare skin, I suddenly opened my eyes and reacted, it was exactly the same as the cold I felt when the horse face came to the tea house to buy tea!

Ghostly! Looking around at the white fog, I was shocked, where is this white fog, it is a strong ghost at all! Did I encounter the legendary Hyakki Wall?!
