As the saying goes, the cool breeze comes, the white dew falls, and the cicadas chirp. Although the Bailu solar term has long passed, autumn is the most colorful season in Jiuhua Mountain.

Perhaps it is the unique natural creation of Jiuhua Mountain, which makes this mysterious mountain forest shrouded in clouds and mist all year round never so hot or cold, and the autumn color is a must.

The clouds are clear and foggy, the sky is high and refreshing, dark and ethereal, like a dream, full of nature, like the immortal relics of the world is independent, not shocked, to stay unintentionally, so since the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago, it has always been the ideal retreat of the masters.

At the foot of Jiuhua Mountain, this wine shop called "Qi Xianju" is the only wine shop within a radius of 20 miles, and it is also the most luxurious one in Qingyang, and its reputation is also very loud. Because after Zhang Wenbiao and Wei Cen met in the county government, Wei Cen did not hesitate and led everyone here very familiarly, and the place where he could be remembered by the deputy privy envoy of the dynasty shows that his reputation is not small.

Why is this, in addition to the fact that you can see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests here, it naturally has the weight of the giant who lives in seclusion in the mountains.

As one of the few buildings under Jiuhua Mountain, this three-storey wine shop stands out against the hazy mountain scenery at dusk. But in terms of appearances alone, it's actually not that good.

Although the red lacquer columns are rough and magnificent, they look vulgar and uninteresting. Although the plaque on the upper floor of the high gate is shining, the words on it are dull and wooden, and there is no beauty in looking.

A row of huge red lanterns hung in front of the door, festive and tasteless, and the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests behind him is really a bit abrupt, which shows that this famous restaurant is actually still inseparable from the world, and even the artistic conception of those small buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River is not comparable.

I am used to seeing the scene of Jinling City, and when I go to this mountain and look at this flashy and tacky wine shop, it is still a little worse than the wine shop in the most unprosperous Jinling West City, and for the rich and noble eunuchs from the capital, there is naturally a gap in my heart. This wine shop even feels tacky for martial artists like Zhang Wenbiao, let alone the privy deputy Wei Cen?

According to Wei Cen's status, others probably did not expect that the dignified deputy privy envoy would eat in such a place. Not to mention the environment, just thinking about the food in the mountains and wilderness is definitely not very good, but Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao are not here just to eat, but have other important affairs, how can they account for so much?

"Since it is a stunner, it can be used in the world."

As soon as Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao and his entourage arrived here, Zhang Wenbiao stared at the quatrains on both sides of the gate of the Immortal Residence, as if he was out of a trance. After a trance, the two of them strode into the hall of the Xianju together, only to feel that the heat wave in front of them was rushing, and behind the seemingly lonely closed door, there were so many diners eating in the hall, and the guys were shouting and shuttling back and forth to deliver tea and water, a busy scene.

To attract so many diners, others will definitely think that the taste of the food must be wonderful, but in fact, these people who choose to eat in the remote mountains and alleys away from the bustling streets and alleys are not just for a bite of food, but have an extraordinary purpose.

Most of these diners are either rich or noble, but there are also a small number of unknown people who have not been able to aspire for a long time, and they gather here from all over the world, all for the same purpose, or to wait for an opportunity to meet the master of the mountain, an opportunity to change their own destiny.

At this time, a clean guy stepped forward, looking at the dresses of Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao, one was in a splendid dress, the other was in a plain silk robe, and there were several armor guards behind him. ”

Wei Cen seemed to be extremely familiar with the Immortal Residence, and as he walked, he nodded and said, "Is there a quiet place?" ”

"Yes, there are boxes on the second and third floors, but the prices are different."

Wei Cen replied expressionlessly: "Money is not a problem, where it is clean and elegant, it will go." ”

"Okay! Two distinguished guests went upstairs with me. The man shook his head and shouted, and hurriedly led the way.

Wei Cen and Zhang Wenbiao followed the men up the stairs at the top of the hall, and went up the wooden staircase, only to the top of the second floor, and immediately became much quieter. A screen of flowers and birds blocks the entrance to the staircase, which not only blocks the sound, but also protects the privacy of diners.

But this guy's footsteps did not stop, but went straight to the third floor, above the third floor, it was even quieter, and the decorations on it subverted all the previous impressions of this restaurant. The screen of the flowers, birds, insects, fish, and ladies is separated by several boxes, and there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around it, and there are many poems and texts inscribed. A copper stove with a sandalwood bird's beak is placed in the corner, and the smoke from the bird's beak is spewing out, and the smell of it makes people feel peaceful.

"Two distinguished guests, there are no guests on the third floor for the time being, the two of you can choose a box to sit in, and the villain will bring some tea." The guy laughed.

Suddenly, Wei San, the head of the guard behind Wei Cen, came out, pulled the guy and said: "Don't take too long to make tea, don't put too many left ingredients, my nobles have a clear taste." ”

The guy was stunned and said with a smile: "The villain obeys." With that, he turned around and hurried downstairs.

Zhang Wenbiao looked at Wei Cen and said with a smile: "Wei Envoy is very particular about people. ”

Wei Cen smiled and said, "Without him, it's good to be simple." Anyway, it won't be long to sit still. ”

Zhang Wenbiao nodded and smiled and asked, "Where are you sitting?" There's a window on the south side, so why don't you sit by the window? ”

Wei Cen shook his head and said: "There is only a high-rise building here under the mountain, and sitting by the window will be seen clearly by those who have a heart." At this point, it's better to be cautious. ”

Zhang Wenbiao didn't make a sound, but secretly said in his heart that Wei Cen was an old Jianghu, and the envoy was probably worried that someone was secretly watching, and it was still a heart disease to encounter a tailgating chase along the way.

The two chose a box in the middle, and Zhang Wenbiao accidentally saw that the inscription on the wall actually had Wei Cen's name included, and the engraved position was very conspicuous, just among the highest ones. Zhang Wenbiao was very surprised in his heart, obviously Wei Cen must have been here, but no one here seemed to know him, so it was a little strange......

So Zhang Wenbiao got up and continued to check along the wall, and saw a lot of autographed poems by important ministers of the court, it seems that these people have eaten and drunk in this restaurant.

However, a mottled spot on the wall aroused Zhang Wenbiao's interest, and there was a vacant space between the top few inscriptions, which was obviously the inscription of another person, but it seemed to have been scraped off with a knife, which seemed to be very unsightly.

The guy came up with a hot teapot, and while confessing and making the two of them wait for a long time, he quickly poured tea for the two of them. Zhang Wenbiao pointed to the mottled place on the wall and asked, "Xiao Er, what's going on with this wall?" ”

The guy looked back, a blank look flashed in his eyes, and then turned around and patted his head, revealing a sneer: "Oh, the villain forgot about this, I blocked the shopkeeper's order with a painting, and no guests have come to the third floor to dine in the past few days, and the villain forgot about it." It's unsightly, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain will hang the painting to block it. ”
