Chapter 121 The Teahouse
Banquet.
In a magnificent and spacious hall, an extraordinarily long table sits in the center. On the table, there are all kinds of beef and sheep dishes, vegetables, fruits, wine and meat, and the degree of luxury is not inferior to that of the emperor in the world.
Everyone sat on both sides of the table, and as far as the eye could see, at least the corpse generals were cultivating, and even the corpse commanders had more than ten of them.
At the end of the table was naturally the Blood Armor King, but next to him, next to him, sat a strange man he had never seen before.
The man was similar in age to the Corpse King, his face was cold and silent, but the momentum on his body had survived the three heavenly tribulations.
"Who's that?"
Chu You stabbed the fat ghost beside him. The two sat at the end of the long table, and there were some things that they didn't have to hide.
"I don't know. ”
The fat ghost shrugged his shoulders and turned to the corpse generals around him.
It didn't take long for him to learn from the astonished eyes of the people around him that the prominent existence who had survived the three heavenly tribulations turned out to be the mount of the Blood Armor King, and he was also the father of the corpse Ah Tian, known as the "Blue Eye King".
"I've survived three heavenly tribulations, why are you still a mount, shouldn't you be in charge of a ghost domain independently?" Chu You wondered.
In this way, a corpse general beside him sneered: "That prince has known the corpse king since he was young, and he has a good relationship. Besides, when have you ever seen the Corpse King actually ride him? Most of them stayed in the city to guard the Blood City. “
Seeing this, Chu You also laughed, and when he recalled it, he felt that he had seen the Corpse King alone several times, and he had never ridden this mount.
A few people laughed and the banquet began.
However, this banquet was extremely old-fashioned and vulgar, and the whole party was dull and boring. The content of the explanation is nothing more than two: one is that the Corpse King is about to retreat and practice, and the other is that the whole city has begun to dispatch military horses to prepare for the upcoming war.
Under the high-profile talk around him, Chu You also made some new friends, but they were all corpse generals, and there was nothing else to do except drinking.
Soon everyone was drunk for three rounds, and the banquet ended in a hurry with the departure of the corpse king.
And Chu You's fat ghost also returned to their respective rooms with Wu Xingyuan.
After Chu You, who had been tired for days, returned to the room, he threw himself straight to the big bed, and fell asleep with his eyes closed. He was in desperate need of rest, and this was the first full sleep since returning from the small world of the earth.
Long nights without dreams.
.....
Vertical sun, wake up.
Chu You rubbed his sleepy eyes, but heard that there was already a noise outside the window. When I walked out of the door, I was greeted by countless armies of hungry ghosts in neat formations.
These armies are extremely numerous, I don't know how many tens of millions of them. It was so vast that the city was crowded.
"That's too fast. ”
Remembering that the Corpse King had only proposed to dispatch the military horses last night, and that he had assembled in the city early this morning, he was amazed at what kind of speed this was.
Looking at this boundless army, Chu You suddenly found that General Lian Yan was dispatching not far away, and seeing this, he also walked over.
"I've seen General Lian. ”
Chu You said respectfully.
"Huh? General Lian turned his head to see Chu You, pointed to the army in front of him, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”
"That's too much. ”
"Where is this, the Corpse King has already sent orders to the cities, and soon there will be several times as many troops in the city, and only then will it be endless. ”
“.....”
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Chu You no longer bothered, and walked towards the city alone in this shouting and killing the heavens.
The Blood City is ten times larger than the Bone Burial City, and the surrounding houses and pavilions are much more neat. Looking around, there are many restaurants on both sides of the road, which are very similar to the world.
Just like that, I wandered around the city, and I also encountered a lot of interesting things along the way. And in some of the gloomy alleys, there are places that resemble underground casinos. However, the bet is generally not the size of the dice, but the winning or losing of the fighting beast.
And so it was noon soon. The sun was scorching on his body, and soon he became thirsty. Seeing this, I got up and prepared to find a restaurant to eat, but this place is remote, and after walking for three or five miles, not only did I not meet a suitable restaurant, but I caught a glimpse of a small teahouse in a corner.
The teahouse was very small, quaint and dilapidated, and very inconspicuous. Even so, it is already extraordinary that a teahouse can appear in the hungry ghost road.
Walking into the teahouse, I saw that the inside of the store seemed to be more dilapidated than the outside, and the cobwebs on the beams almost hung down to the ground.
"Something?" said an old voice.
I saw an old man sitting on a bench next to the counter, but he didn't look at him all the time while talking.
"What's here?"
He found a table, blew the dust away, and sat down.
"Tea. The old man replied calmly.
"Of course I know it's tea, but I don't know what kind of tea it is?"
"Tea is tea, why should there be any difference?" the old man lazily stroked his beard: "The world is so chaotic, you don't know what tea is, who cares what kind of tea is, just drink it." ”
"You can't say that, everything has to be discerned. ”
"There is no discernment of all things, only the discerning man, and the discerning thing. ”
"I don't know if my predecessors can tell me once. ”
"Tell for you?" the old man smiled, "I haven't even distinguished myself, isn't it good to live in chaos?"
Seeing this, Chu You no longer argued, and laughed: "Okay, I'm just a vulgar person, why do I need to know about the chaos of heaven and earth? ”
"Good. ”
The old man got up and walked to the counter, took out a teapot, reached out and took a few kinds of tea leaves and poured them into it. Take a pot of boiling water and lift it high, pour the water from the high point, and the steaming tea leaves will roll and spread in the pot, and the fragrance will ripple out.
"Slow to use. ”
After the old man put the teapot and a teabowl on the table in front of Chu You, he turned around and returned to the bench to continue to lie down, his eyes slightly closed, and continued to enjoy his leisure.
"Heaven and earth are long, why should it be clear. ”
Chu You lifted the teapot, filled the tea bowl in front of him, and drank it in one gulp, regardless of the hot taste. At the entrance of the tea, a fiery sensation emerged from the mouth, like a volcano of destruction, violent and irritable.
However, in this boiling scorching, there is a different kind of charm.
"Good tea!"
He shouted, but after drinking the bowl of hot tea, he stopped drinking.
He sat alone in a chair until it was half-ringing, when the tea was only warm before another bowl was poured.
Bringing it to the side of your mouth and tasting it in one gulp, the tea is delicate and soft, as if bathed in the warm sunshine and embraced by the whole world.
It's a bland beauty.
This time, it took him a full stick of incense to drink the tea.
After drinking, his heart was as calm as water, and he sat leisurely in his chair, his face overflowing with a little happiness.
Time is like sand in your hand, you can't catch it, you can't hold it, and even if you exert a lot of effort, it will still slip through your fingers.
However, since you can't keep it, it's better to let it go.
In the blink of an eye, another five or six hours passed.
