Chapter 2: The Book of Bugs
readx;? Hengjiang had breakfast at random, took out a horse in the stable, rode the horse and whipped, left the market, and went all the way north, to Niujiaozhou, thirty miles away. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In Niujiaozhou, a bazaar was built.
In the middle of the market, in the most prosperous place, there is a restaurant, whose name is the same as the best restaurant in the market, also called Guanhai Tower.
The owner of the restaurant is naturally Hengjiang.
Niujiaozhou was originally a deserted land, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a clear spring and an oasis growing here, where the traveling caravans could drink and rest, I was afraid that if I lived here for thirty or fifty years, it would be difficult to see anyone else.
Three years ago, someone discovered a gold mine in Niujiaozhou, so the news of a gold mine in Niujiaozhou spread for thousands of miles and spread all over the desert and beyond.
With a gold mine, gold diggers are indispensable, and when the first gold digger digs up the gold, there are hundreds of gold diggers, from all over the world, flocking to it.
During this period, some people also wondered that the Middle-earth Empire was only established for 200 years, but the ruins existed in this desert for thousands of years. If there is really a gold mine in Niujiaozhou, how can it wait until the next few years before it will be discovered? Could there be any conspiracy in this?
But this voice of doubt was soon drowned in the wave of gold rush.
Under the temptation of gold, no one cares about this unreliable rumor, and even if they do, they don't care. However, they don't know that sometimes worries and doubts are often right.
All of this is a bureau laid out by Yokoe.
There are no gold mines in Niujiao State at all!
Three years ago, Hengjiang took advantage of the darkness of night to sprinkle a small half-cart of gold ore in the desert near Niujiaozhou.
The desert is full of wind and sand, and sandstorms are rolling.
Gold is heavier than sand, and when the wind blows, the sand flies away and the dunes move, naturally burying the gold, and then Yokoe deliberately walks the news out, attracting gold diggers.
When there are more people, there is a market, a street, and a sea viewing building.
The entire market city also prospered from this.
This false prosperity was single-handedly promoted by Yokoe.
He laid out for three years, just for a wisp of immortality.
This fairy fate, Hengjiang is bound to win!
At this moment, Hengjiang has entered Niujiaozhou, and immediately whipped and stopped in the long street where Guanhailou is located.
In the past, in the Guanhai Building, there were some gold diggers who sat down, they would make loud noises, drink and box, and sometimes they would call some laughing girls, and take advantage of the very elegant pattern of the Guanhai Building, to have fun.
Today is not the same as it used to be.
In the Guanhai Building of Niujiaozhou, all the people sitting are Xianmen monks wearing moire robes, hanging Xuanqi jade pendants from their waists, wearing gold and jade crowns, and extraordinary bearing.
There are many strange monsters around the tethered horse stake outside the door, which startled people to avoid it and dare not approach.
Hengjiang rode his horse and stopped more than ten meters away.
Although the horse he was riding was a divine horse, it was just an ordinary horse after all, and he had an instinctive fear of the many monsters tied to the sea view tower, and he didn't dare to approach.
"My chance, right in front of me!"
Hengjiang's eyes were like stars, his eyes were deep, he groaned slightly, turned over and dismounted, whipped on the horse's stock, and then slowly turned around, his eyes swept over the strange beasts outside the gate of the Guanhai Tower.
Herod!
The horse was hurt and galloped away.
Hengjiang slightly straightened his robe and strode towards the Guanhai Tower.
=======================
"Owner, three or four days ago, many monks suddenly appeared in Niujiaozhou and lived in our Guanhai Building. The strange beasts outside the door are the mounts of the monks and adults. As for the gold diggers who used to come often, they were all driven away by the monks...... After the gold diggers were driven away, although there were fewer customers in the restaurant, these monks were very generous, and they made a lot of money......"
In the Guanhai Building, Hengjiang came to the back of the counter, took out the account books and checked them one by one, and the shopkeeper came to Hengjiang's side and told him about the events of the past few days.
Hengjiang nodded, asked the shopkeeper to bring the tea set, and then put out an abacus, crackling and fiddling with the abacus, and began to reconcile.
After the tea set was served, Hengjiang removed the abacus and account book and made tea with peace of mind.
Warm the kettle, hot cup, wash tea, turn the cup, smell the fragrance......
Every step of the way, Hengjiang has done it perfectly.
This kind of advanced tea art, even in the capital of the Middle-earth Empire, those famous tea ceremony masters, compared with Hengjiang, is not much stronger.
In an instant, there is a refreshing fragrance of tea, permeating the restaurant.
Even the monks in the restaurant who were arrogant and did not take Hengjiang in their eyes at all were attracted by the fresh and refined tea fragrance and the tea art of Hengjiang, and they turned their heads and looked at Hengjiang.
Hengjiang's posture of making tea is extremely focused, and its gestures exude an elegant and quiet charm.
Putting aside the identity gap between monks and mortals, Hengjiang's temperament alone has already compared most of the monks in the restaurant.
"Good tea!"
An exclamation rang out.
Yokoe turned his head and found that the person who spoke out of admiration was a very handsome young monk at the age of seventeen or eighteen, with a face like a crown of jade.
When the handsome monk saw Yokoe looking at him, he smiled slightly and asked, "Would you like to invite me for a drink?"
Yokoe didn't say much, and raised his hand to make a gesture of please.
"My name is Dugu Xin. ”
Dugu Xin came to the counter, picked up the teacup and drank it all, only to feel that the tea was full of fragrance, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "I have long guessed that the owner of this restaurant must be an elegant person, and it must be very different from the gold diggers in Niujiaozhou." Now it seems that your elegance is more than my guess. ”
Hengjiang smiled slightly and asked, "Why did you say this?"
Dugu Xin looked at the decorations in the building, pointed to the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall of the lobby, and asked, "Are the calligraphy and paintings on this wall all your handwriting?"
Yokoe nodded.
"That's right!" Dugu Xin said: "The handwriting in these calligraphy and paintings is all insect books, if you are not an elegant person, how can you practice insect books?"
Hengjiang has been practicing insect books for more than ten years.
The calligraphy on the wall is full of ink, and its Chinese characters are all worm books. Every word is like an extremely strange and rare insect, and the handwriting strokes are extremely exquisite, such as a dragon and snake churning, and like thunder and lightning running, and the weather is thousands.
"Worm books are just a personal hobby, and they should not be praised by distinguished guests. ”
Hengjiang looked at Dugu Xin without a trace, and poured the teacup full for Dugu Xin.
"It's a pity, I have a headache when I see the worm book, and I haven't learned ......"
Dugu Xin shook his head, drank all the tea in one gulp, and said: "I drank your tea, and I am also fated with you, and when I leave here, I will leave a talisman on the wall of your restaurant, which is enough to deter ghosts." ”
Syllable.
Dugu Xin gently put down the teacup, turned upstairs, and went back to the room.
Hengjiang watched Duguxin walk away, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"The Immortal Sect Monk is really high, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with me, a mortal person. After this Dugu Xin drank my tea, he didn't even ask my name, he just thought about giving me another town house talisman, even if it was a favor for me to invite him to tea, it was completely broken. ”
Hengjiang brought the teacup to his mouth, shook it gently, smelled the fragrance of tea, and said in his heart: "Since you don't know the insect book, you are destined to ask me." If you have a request for me, how can the favor between you and me be offset by a mere talisman? I have been planning for three years, and I have been thinking about it for three years, just for a wisp of immortal fate to enter the immortal gate, what is the use of asking you to use the talisman?"
