Chapter 40: Ten Spice Teahouse
Walking out of the sea, although the fog was filled, he could still see clearly that there were many small boats floating on the surface of the water not far away, and Xiang Lan quickly swam to the vicinity of a small boat, and he easily rolled his body sideways and easily fell into the hull of the small boat.

Xiang Lan gently slid the boat, he looked at the shore curiously, and as he slowly approached the shore, Xiang Lan could vaguely see that on the other side of the coast, there was a small town.
The town in the fog is even more graceful. The clear water gently propelled the boat, and Xiang Lan walked to the bow of the boat to look at the arch bridge in the distance. There was silence all around, except for the sound of the boat making a splash as it moved forward.
Xiang Lan couldn't help but close his eyes, thinking of his recent experience, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, this doji didn't seem to be as desolate as the first star, nor did it exude a tense aura like the beast, just looking at it from a distance, he felt that this was a quiet and comfortable place. Xiang Lan was secretly happy, thinking that becoming a mage after passing through the Dharma Cave would mean that a better day was coming.
Suddenly, Xiang Lan heard the sound of the piano coming from the shore, and looked at Lan to wonder where this beautiful sound came from, but although he scanned the shore carefully, he did not see a single figure, and only heard the song echoing gracefully.
Xiang Lan seemed to be attracted by the wonderful sound, and he rowed the boat quickly, reached the shore, and immediately walked towards the town.
Between the two districts of the town, separated by canals, Xianglan crosses a stone bridge, the sound of the piano gradually softens, the fog dissipates slightly, and the surroundings are much clearer.
If you look closely at the town at this time, it is very charming. The fog is like a light veil, slightly mixed with a drizzle. At this time, the fog is not fog, and the flowers are not flowers. The breeze blows, blowing the small trees on the side of the road, making a clear sound......
Xiang Lan looked up, the moving sound of the piano should have come from there, Xiang Lan smiled happily, a middle-aged aunt wearing an earthy yellow turban was struggling to carry a thick board from the store to move out. Seeing this, Xiang Lan walked over quickly and took hands,
"You can let go, where are you going to put it? I'm here to help you! Xiang Lan asked as he lifted the board again.
The aunt was stunned at first, and instantly replied with a smile:
"Here, here, just put it here!" As she spoke, the aunt led the way out the door.
Xiang Lan helped put the things away and turned around to go in, but the aunt suddenly grabbed Xiang Lan Shen and asked mysteriously:
"Little brother, I saw you face to face, you just arrived at the Doji, right?"
Although Xiang Lan felt that this aunt's cautious expression was a little strange, he didn't care too much, he nodded happily.
"Then you ......"
"Aunt May! βAunt May! - Alas, Aunt Mei, hurry up, it's too busy here! β
The aunt, who was about to continue talking to Xiang Lan, was interrupted by a girl poking her head out of the stairs.
"Hey, come on!" After saying that, the aunt called Aunt Mei patted Xiang Lan and said:
"Little brother, the tea in our teahouse is the most famous tea shop in the cross, please come inside!" Saying that, Aunt Mei walked in quickly, hesitated to Lan for a moment, and laughed, only then did she see the four big characters in front of the door: "Shixiang Teahouse"
Xiang Lan smiled slightly, walked in with a relaxed step.
The store was bustling with customers, and the tables were full, but although there were many people, everyone whispered and sat in four or five with different expressions. There are dozens of guest tables upstairs, and there is only one empty seat next to the balcony on the seaside side, and the owner of the piano looks around the store while walking towards the blue side.
At this time, Aunt Mei came over enthusiastically and greeted: "Little brother, I invited you for this pot of tea, thank you just now!" β
Xiang Lan responded with a smile, and said embarrassedly: "Don't take it to heart, Aunt Mei, um......"
Xiang Lan paused and continued: "Aunt Mei, do you have a pianist performing here?" β
Aunt Mei heard Xiang Lan's words and asked in surprise, "Piano Master?" What luthier? Most of the guests here are mages from all planets, and there are no luthiers, ah! By the way, I just wanted to remind you! β
Xiang Lan heard the reminder and looked at Aunt Mei suspiciously, Aunt Mei leaned forward, looked left and right, and said to Xiang Lan in a low voice:
"Recently, the Crusaders have gone crazy, and the city is full of demon blood-catching people! There are a lot of people, all of them have been arrested, I heard that they are suspects, you just came here, be careful! Hearing someone calling for business again, Aunt Mei hurriedly ran over, shook her head and muttered before leaving: "Tsk, troubled times, troubled times!" β
Xiang Lan was a little clueless when he heard it, but he was puzzled that the voice just now was clearly from here, and no one went out in front of the door, Xiang Lan picked up the teacup in confusion, and before he could drink it, he heard hurried footsteps downstairs, and a thin middle-aged man ran up with a nervous expression, panting and shouting: "The crusaders are coming!" β
Before his words fell, suddenly, some tea customers got up one after another and walked quickly to the balcony beside Lan, they didn't have half a bit of melancholy, jumped down, and left in a hurry.
They jumped down in waves, moving quickly and with agility, judging from their movements, they knew that they were definitely not low-level mages, but these mages, who were not weak, why did Xiang Lan sit there blankly when they heard the crusader's reaction.
At this time, in addition to the middle-aged man and Aunt Mei who reported the news, only Xiang Lan was left, and suddenly the girl who had just probed down from the balcony was already standing beside Xiang Lan at some point, she looked at Xiang Lan with strange eyes and asked:
"Why haven't you run away? What are you doing here! Do you want to be caught? β
"Run? Why should I run away? I'm not a demon-blooded terran," Xiang Lan replied calmly.
When the girl heard this, her originally serious face suddenly softened, and she smiled and said:
"I said, naΓ―ve boy, the crusaders don't really want to catch any demon blood people, before they arrive, you can leave quickly!"
"What about you? Why don't you go? Xiang Lan stubbornly asked.
"Hey, I said, why are you so awkward! Let you go, you go! β
Xiang Lan saw that the store had been ordered to evict customers, and he couldn't go anymore, so he wanted to get up, but before he could stand up, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps from downstairs, and as the footsteps got closer and closer, a legion guard wearing gold armor walked up, they lined up neatly, and made a way from the middle, accompanied by a steady and heavy footsteps, a young general with a wide eyebrows and a tiger's back stepped forward, he held a strange-looking iron weapon in his hand, stared at Xiang Lan sitting at the table, and narrowed his eyes! β
Seeing this, Aunt Mei immediately approached with a smile on her face, and said in a low voice, "Captain Gao! Didn't you just come here in the morning, what's going on, what's going on, why are you here again, look at my business......"
Captain Gao raised his hand to interrupt Aunt Mei who was talking, he stared intently at Xiang Lan's unfamiliar face as if he had thought of something, and suddenly he crossed Aunt Mei and walked straight towards Lan with a black face!
