Chapter 140: A Rare Blandness
Until this time, Li Ding didn't know what Qing Yanzi's identity was, but this strange old man who was full of Lao Tzu was the owner of this place after all.
Looking at Qing Yanzi's thin face with a kind smile, Li Ding hurriedly stepped forward and said, "How dare you tell your seniors to wait, Li Ding should die." ”
Qing Yanzi smiled, and suddenly whispered: "Don't say that you don't die, Lao Tzu doesn't like it, and besides, you will be in a hurry today, it happens to be the birth of Lao Tzu's criminal, otherwise there would not be such a table of dishes." ”
Hearing this, Li Ding was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that today happened to be his birth, and remembered the scene when he was born last year, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, but he immediately restrained himself and followed Qing Yanzi into the house.
Compared to the outside, the room was indeed a lot warmer, and what warmed Li Ding's heart even more was that as soon as he entered the house, he heard a crisp voice shouting: "Brother, sit down, you have to come again, Sister Tongzhu is going to be angry." ”
Li Ding stared at it, and saw that in front of the round table full of dishes, Liu Lingzheng was looking at him with a smile. After staying for a moment, Li Ding was pulled to the seat next to the first seat by Tong Bai and sat down.
Qing Yanzi also sat down in the first place with a smile, and Tong Song on the opposite side quickly got up and picked up the wine jug on the table to pour wine for Qing Yanzi, Qing Yanzi turned sideways to Li Ding and said, "How about it, have a drink with Lao Tzu?"
Li Ding was in a good mood at this time and was about to agree, but he heard Liu Ling's voice on the other side: "I...... My brother doesn't seem to be able to drink. As he spoke, his face turned red and he hurriedly stopped.
Hearing Liu Ling call his brother again, Li Ding couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, guessing that the reason why Liu Ling said this must be because he saw him at Chen Dabao's banquet and said that he couldn't drink, so he hurriedly smiled: "It depends on who you drink with, how can Li Ding refuse." ”
Tong Song, who had stopped his hand in the air after hearing Liu Ling's words, immediately poured the wine into the wine glass in front of Li Ding, and filled it with himself and Tong Bai. Just as he was about to put down the wine jug, Tongzhu on the side suddenly said unhappily: "Why don't you pour it for us?"
Tong Song glanced at Qing Yanzi and said with a sneer: "The master said, you are not allowed to drink today, and this little sister's body is not suitable for drinking." ”
Tong Zhu's face turned pale, and he glared at Tong Song fiercely, Tong Song immediately looked embarrassed, looked at Qing Yanzi again and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Qing Yanzi suddenly stood up and said, "Come on, come on, bring up the wine, and celebrate this ghost girl is one year older." ”
Seeing this, Tong Song seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly raised his wine glass, Qing Yanzi continued: "I wish her to find a good mother-in-law to marry as soon as possible, and I will also get a wish of my old man." ”
Hearing this, Tong Zhu snorted and gasped, at the same time, the wine glass in Tong Song's hand almost didn't fall, and Tong Bai on the side immediately held Tong Song's arm, and after the two brothers exchanged a look quietly, Tong Song shook his head with a smile.
Everyone paid attention to Tongzhu and didn't pay too much attention to Tongsong, but all of this was seen by Li Ding, who felt sensitive, and felt a little weird.
At this time, Li Ding knew that it was Tongzhu's life today, looking at Tongzhu's angry face, and when he was nervous about whether to raise his arms, Liu Ling on the side suddenly said: "I think so, this mushroom soup is extremely delicious, how about me and Sister Tongzhu replace the wine with soup?" ”
Tongzhu, who was still gritting his teeth and sulking, heard Liu Ling's words, and suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, if you don't drink, you won't drink." Instead, he said to Qing Yanzi: "Old guy, you remember it for me." After speaking, he smiled at Liu Ling again: "My sister said to drink soup, let's drink soup." ”
Except for Qing Yanzi, Tongzhu's changed face ** and everyone was stunned.
Seeing that Tongzhu turned his anger into joy, Tongsong was about to use a spoon to give Liu Lingsheng soup, but Tongzhu snatched the spoon and said angrily: "I don't want you to help, I will bully me together in my life." However, when the soup was served to Liu Ling, he immediately became full of smiles.
Seeing this, Li Ding only smiled faintly, and Qing Yanzi, who was the perpetrator, didn't seem to be angry, but his expression was blank for a moment, and then he raised his glass again and said, "Come on, come on, just be happy, just be happy." As he spoke, he drank it all.
Li Ding followed and drank a glass, but felt that this wine was not as spicy as he imagined, and it was quite smooth to drink, and Tong Bai, who was thinking about it, suddenly whispered: "How about this wine, isn't it? ”
Hearing this, Li Ding only smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "It doesn't matter if it's good wine or not, I can't drink it well or badly anyway." ”
However, Li Ding did not refuse the old man and Tongbai's hospitality at all, and after a few glasses of wine, he felt that his head was slightly dizzy.
In a trance, looking at Liu Ling, who was laughing and laughing, Li Ding couldn't connect her with the girl who only had a month to live, but he really couldn't do anything, he just hoped that in this last month, she could be happy like this and enjoy this rare blandness.
Li Ding didn't move a mouthful of the dishes on the table, and he didn't know how many glasses of wine he drank until he fell asleep groggily.
When Li Ding woke up, it was already dawn, and it was obvious that the night had passed unconsciously.
Sitting up from **, Li Ding stretched his ** body, and found that it was the room where Qing Yanzi carried him over, got dressed and walked out of the door, Li Ding came to the pharmacy along the corridor.
Li Ding saw that Tong Bai was sorting out something in the pharmacy, and stepped forward to ask, "Brother Tong Bai, why haven't you seen anyone else?"
Seeing Li Ding, Tong Bai immediately smiled and said, "That...... Your sister and my sister had a quarrel too late last night, and they shouldn't have gotten up yet, so my brother went up the mountain to chop wood. ”
Li Ding remembered that there were special people in Jinguangmen who were responsible for these things, but thinking of the four of them here, it seemed that everything was done by themselves, so it was not surprising, so he asked again: "I don't know where Qingyanzi's predecessors are, but if there is anything that Li Ding needs to help with." ”
"Actually, my master usually stays in the Cuiyun Cave at the top of the mountain, and yesterday he said that if it weren't for Brother Li, he might not have gone down the mountain, so he went up the mountain after dinner last night. "Tong Bai Dao.
"Is that so?" said Li Ding, turning his head to look up the mountain, but the morning fog blocked his view from view.
"The master has already explained before leaving, Brother Li doesn't have to do anything, if you feel bored, you can walk around the mountain at will, but it's best not to go down the mountain. The master also said that there was still a month before the Alchemist Conference, so he asked Brother Li to stay on the mountain for a while, and he would leave after he had taken care of some things. Tong Bai said again.
Li Ding nodded, it seemed that Qing Yanzi was concerned about Liu Ling asking him to take him to the royal city, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Tongbai, I don't know how far this Cuiwei Mountain is from the royal city?"
Tong Bai smiled and said: "It's not far away, it's only seven or eight days away, it's just ......" said and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "It's just that my master is too stingy, I'm afraid of spending more accommodation fees if I go early, and my junior sister is not finished buying things, I remember that my master who spent money last time almost ran back before the end of the conference......"
"What are you talking about? I'm not afraid of Brother Li's jokes. Tong Bai was talking energetically, Tong Song's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Tong Bai, who was frightened, shrank his head and hurriedly went to do his own thing.
Seeing Tong Song come in, Li Ding hurriedly bowed and called out "Brother Tong Song", Tong Song smiled: "Let Brother Li laugh, my junior brother sometimes speaks without a tone." ”
"No, no, Brother Tongbai is introducing me to the situation on the mountain, lest I go out and get lost in a while. Li Ding said with a smile.
Tong Bai smiled at Tong Song on the side, and Tong Song didn't want to say anything, so he had to say to Li Ding again: "Brother Li hasn't had breakfast yet, if you don't dislike some porridge in the back kitchen, I'll give you some hot food." ”
Tong Song didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Li Ding didn't have time to pretend to excuse himself, and his stomach growled uncontrollably, so he had to smile embarrassedly and said, "Then ...... Then there is Brother Lao Tongsong. ”
Tong Song immediately turned around and walked out of the medicine hall, and Li Ding carefully observed the interior of this medicine hall.
On the left and opposite sides of the entrance to the medicine hall are neat medicine shelves, in the middle to the right are two large wooden tables for sorting herbs and sundries, and on the far right are the usual tables and chairs, but there are two shelves in the back, but there are a large number of books on them.
Looking at it carefully, although this pharmacy is not big, Li Ding also knows that it is indeed not ordinary, just from the number and type of herbs, it is not comparable to Liu Yi's pharmacy, this is the difference between a pharmacist and an alchemist.
Looking at the dazzling array of jade bottles on the medicine shelf, Li Ding unconsciously wanted to reach out and take a look at one of them, but just as his hand was about to touch one of them, Tong Bai suddenly said loudly: "Can't move, Brother Li, that can't move!"
Li Ding turned his head in surprise, smiled embarrassedly and was about to explain, but saw Tong Bai patting his chest with his hand, as if he was frightened, and said: "Brother Li doesn't know, my master has planted a vitality lock on every bottle containing high-grade pills, and he will sense it immediately as soon as you move, don't cause me to be scolded by my master." ”
Hearing this, Li Ding was not surprised. He is no stranger to the Yuan Qi Lock Li Ding, Xiao Dan had said it when he first got the Fire God Spirit Ring, but he didn't know how it worked.
But when it came to the Yuan Qi Lock, Li Ding suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "No wonder Sister Tongzhu just gave me the pill yesterday, and your master came after a while." ”
Tong Bai smiled, looked out the door, and whispered: "There are some things I can't say, you will know after a while." ”
Here, Xiao Dan's voice sounded: "This old guy is too careful, but with his strength, I think the Yuan Qi lock will disappear automatically in two or three days at most, and then I have to do it again, it's not troublesome!"
Li Ding smiled faintly at Tong Bai, left the shelf of the open pill, and asked in his heart, "What the hell is going on with the Yuan Qi Lock?"
Xiao Dan said: "That is to add the vitality that has reached the stage of polymerization to the object in a special way, if you don't know the oscillation frequency of the replenishment of vitality, once it is touched, it will cause special fluctuations to be sensed by the person who locks it, but it also has to be within a certain range."
However, the effect of the Vitality Lock is linked to the strength of the locker, and the general Vitality Lock is maintained for different times due to the different degrees of condensation of the aggregate Vitality. If you don't know the oscillation frequency of the vitality lock or the unlocking vitality does not match the unlocking vitality and forcibly open the lock, the weak person is likely to be shocked by the super fluctuations caused by the vitality lock. ”
"So powerful!" Li Ding was startled, and couldn't help but raise his left hand to look at it, and suddenly secretly rejoiced, and he didn't know if the Fire Spirit God Yanying didn't have a Yuan Qi lock on the Fire God Spirit Ring back then, or because the Yuan Qi lock was too old and invalid.
Just as he was thinking about it, Tong Song walked in with a tray of food.
"Come, Brother Li, eat it while it's hot. Tong Song said, and after putting the food on the table next to him, he and Tong Bai went to work together.
Looking at the food on the table, Li Ding's heart couldn't help but be moved, and he sat down to solve it by dividing it by two.
After eating, he raised his head and saw Tong Song looking at him with a smile, and Li Ding didn't feel a little dazed. Such an ordinary life was what he hoped for most when he was young, but from the moment the tribe fell into the sea, his life was destined to be no longer dull. (To be continued.) )
