Chapter 138 The Old Man in the Teahouse
In the early morning, Chu You entered the restaurant and did not come out until almost noon, and he didn't know how much money he spent during this period, only that a trace of pain flashed on the owner's face when he paid.
The hall owner hugged his hands from afar: "Master Chu walks slowly, see you another day." ”
His voice was so loud that he seemed to be secretly blessed with death breath, causing the diners in the lobby and the ghouls walking in the street to turn their heads to look at him. Many people looked at each other in amazement, obviously knowing this "Chu Ye" who was a corpse handsome cultivator.
The scheming Pavilion Master is already building momentum, and I am afraid that within three days, the news of his friendship with the closed disciples of the Blood Armor Emperor will spread throughout the city.
"Goodbye. ”
Chu You didn't want to speak anymore, turned over on the leopard, and galloped in the direction of the teahouse.
This wind thunder leopard is indeed a leopard as its name, running at a gallop and the slightest arc crackling around him, but it took a few breaths to reach the door of the small teahouse.
"So fast!"
Chu You jumped down and exclaimed in surprise at the countless ghoul pedestrians who had been overturned to the ground on the way over.
"Now that I think about it, the first enemy I faced in this hungry ghost road was also a leopard. He smiled and stroked the mane of the wind thunder leopard: "Not bad, not bad." I really want to take you into the teahouse for a drink, but I'm afraid that the old man will dislike it. Well, you wait here, and when you get home, you will be invited to eat meat. ”
As soon as he had said that, the leopard got up and stood by the doorpost, apparently understanding what he was saying.
"Old-timers!"
Chu You strode into the teahouse: "Where are you? Come out!"
"What are you shouting!" an angry voice came from behind the counter.
"Yo, you're sleeping, it's noon, wake up!"
"Get out!"
"Don't don't, I'm here for tea. ”
"There's it on the counter, go pour it yourself. Remember, only pour the leftmost one, don't hit other tea ideas. ”
“......”
"You bastard, put down the tip of my hair!"
"Aren't you asleep?"
"Put it down!"
“.......”
After some scramble, the old man finally put the "hairy tip" back, got up and took out a bag of tea residues with an earthy smell on the far left and soaked it for Chu You.
Looking at all this, Chu You snorted angrily.
However, in the battle just now, he was shocked to find that the strength he was proud of was far inferior to that of the old man, and finally confirmed his previous guess, that old man was simply a king who had survived three heavenly tribulations.
Looking at Chu You's thoughtful appearance, the old man sneered: "Why, you want to mess with me after a catastrophe?" ”
"I don't dare, I can survive the catastrophe or thanks to you! I just thought that you actually gave me such a precious tea at the beginning, and I thought I was a generous person, but I didn't expect that I didn't even give it to drink. ”
"That tea is that tea, the tip of the hair is the tip of the hair, no matter how expensive it is, I don't like it. The tea I like to drink, no one can take it from me. ”
"It's always your reason. ”
After this toss, the old man was also completely sleepy, and soaked a pot of hair tips for himself alone: "Say, what are you doing today." ”
"Drink tea. ”
"What about outside of tea?"
"Reminiscing. ”
"You and I have only met twice, what an old story. ”
"Acquaintance is the deceased, and the old can reminisce about the past. ”
"Don't play dumb riddles with me, do you see that I have cultivated, and you want to ask me why I didn't make a move in the previous war?"
"Sort of. ”
"The hungry ghost road is fighting and killing, what is the difference between the new minister and the old master. It's better to sleep well and drink my tea. The old man said and shook the small pot slightly, making a full cup of Maojian tea.
"The predecessors are at ease, but the corpse king was rough in mind before, you can live in seclusion in this city, and now that the corpse king is the emperor, are you sure you won't be recognized by him?"
"Why don't you recognize it, are you afraid that he will kill me?"
Chu You said slowly: "It's not enough to kill, it's just that life won't be so peaceful." After all, how can another ghost king be allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch?"
"Anning? haha. The old man looked up to the sky and smiled: "That cub can't help me, others call him the Corpse Emperor, but I'm afraid he will have to call me uncle." ”
"Uncle?"
Chu You's pupils froze, and thousands of thoughts flashed in an instant, and he realized that this was not simple: "How can I say this." ”
The old man smiled and said nothing, and after a long time, he slowly poked his head over: "You don't think that the blood-armored cub also drinks the Soul Burning Fountain like you fool." ”
"Could it be..."
In an instant, Chu You's countless ideas flashed through his mind, but they were rejected one by one, and in the end, he only said that the old man was secretly sent by the Blood Armor Family to help the Blood Armor King, but there were also some things that he couldn't understand.
However, it is certain that the small box of clear tea leaves given to him is probably left over from the Corpse King.
Although Chu You only thought about it, he still felt that it was unfathomable, so he clasped his fists and saluted: "Understood." ”
In the face of the saluting old man, not only was he unmoved, but he laughed and said unhurriedly: "Take it." ”
"What?"
"What you want to give me. ”
“......”
A small jar was lifted out of Chu You's ring, it was the Soul Burning Spring.
"Even if you kid still have some conscience, I can't help but give you that tea before. ”
The old man in the teahouse walked over the small altar with great interest, opened the seal and sniffed it deeply, with a relaxed and happy expression.
"By the way, you have to keep the necklace on your chest, pay attention. ”
“.....”
At this point, Chu You was completely helpless, and the chest necklace he talked about was the storage ring of the Eagle King. I was afraid that I would cause trouble on my body, so I put it on a rope and hung it on my chest to cover it with heavy clothes.
In this short conversation, he only felt that everything was in the old man's control.
looked at the old man sitting opposite him, and secretly said that although his appearance was not obvious, he was like a devil. It made him feel like he had no secrets, as if he had no clothes on.
"Come, drink. ”
The old man picked up the earthy tea residue pot and poured a bowl slowly for Chu You.
"It's really breaking the bank. ”
"You're welcome. ”
Chu You smiled bitterly and handed it to his lips and took a sip gently.
However, this bite does not taste the earthy smell at all, but a refreshing bitter fragrance ripples in the tongue, and the aftertaste is endless.
"How. The old man smiled kindly: "You are sincere to me, how can I be willing to let you drink tea residues." ”
"Senior, I still don't know something. ”
"Say it. ”
"Since you have been secretly helping the Corpse Emperor, and you are superior to him as an uncle, then why do you want to say that the Hungry Ghost Dao is a meaningless battle, and you just want to drink tea and not make a move?"
"Then did you see me make a move, I'm afraid that my little teahouse will be damaged in that war. ”
"But you have provided him with tea and spring water. ”
"Wrong. The old man shook his head: "He fought for all this." ”
The hair tips on the table seem to be fragrant but not necessarily delicious, the soil tea smells bad but has an endless aftertaste, Chu You can't tell which is really good tea for a while.
