Volume 2, The Journey of the Husband and the Gentleman Chapter 9, Please Tea
Thinking about these words carefully, Bai Jiu's originally stunned eyes slowly cleared up at this time.
The four levels of the Quartet Bamboo Array, the last two levels are actually connected together, a glimpse of the past, a glimpse of the future.
Thinking of these Bai Jiu closed his eyes and crossed his knees, his divine consciousness was from the outside to the inside, and when he reappeared, he was already on the vast plain.
At this time, this true qi lake located in the center of the mountain range, I don't know how many times it has expanded, on the bluestone, Bai Jiu's spirit sits cross-legged, surrounded by blue-green light, and the appearance has been completely condensed, and there is no difference from the body at this time.
The mind moved slightly, and in an instant, it went up to the top of the mountain range, and then no longer continued to move forward, but stopped, looking at the majestic and boundless black ocean.
The gentleman hides the weapon, this ocean is not a means for Bai Jiu.
Wait for the time to move, until the last resort, do not reveale, the day of the shot is the day of exposure, if you do not make a splash, you will die.
This may be the meaning of the words on the stone tablet, what Lord Wensheng wants to tell himself, is this the truth?
He smiled bitterly, and there was no lack of emotion in his heart, he was still one step away from Zhushan, but this last step was the most difficult step to take, because it was not the body, but the mind.
No matter how far the mountaineering road is, you can still grit your teeth and stick to it. But this last step of the mind requires a change in itself, which is the least suffering, but also the most difficult.
However, no matter how much Master Wen Sheng solves his doubts, he will still not be able to walk the avenue and see through the long road.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, getting closer, followed by the click of pushing the door in.
Bai Jiu looked at the person who came with some surprise, because that person was not Ouyang Luo, nor Tang Chun, but Vice Dean Mo.
Vice Dean Mo carried a food box, he walked to the table, put it on the table casually, and then sat down with his clothes.
Before Bai Jiu could speak, Vice Dean Mo said directly: "Why are you still stunned?" Let me bring this to you? ”
Bai Jiu was relieved from his doubts, hurriedly got up, bowed, and then opened the food box.
The tea of Jiangnan Province, the goat meat of Xiliang County, the dried beef of Liyang, the bean curd fish of Qishui, and some appetizers.
Bai Jiu took out these things one by one and put them on the table, of course, two dishes and chopsticks and a spoon for drinking fish soup.
Vice Dean Mo sat down and asked, "Do you know how to make tea?" ”
Bai Jiu shook his head.
Vice Dean Mo smiled, as if he was not surprised by this answer, he took the pot of brewed tea in his hand and said, "The tea from Wanghe Tower comes from Jiangnan Province. ”
Bai Jiu didn't speak.
Vice President Mo poured the tea into each of the two cups, and then smelled it carefully, and the fragrance of the tea was melodious.
He said slowly: "Three cups of wine in the red dust, and a pot of tea for the great cause of a thousand years." ”
"I'm not going to invite you to drink today, I'm going to invite you to tea."
Bai Jiu smiled and said, "What the vice dean said made me feel pressured as a student, what is there that can be related to this great cause?" ”
Vice Dean Mo didn't answer his words, but raised the teacup and said, "Drink tea first." ”
Bai Jiu didn't know so many etiquettes for drinking tea, so he had to follow the example, smell it first, and then drink the cup of tea in one gulp.
Vice Dean Mo glanced at him and said, "You drink tea like drinking wine, tea is tasting, how can you drink it all at once like quenching your thirst." You can't drink any good tea like yours. ”
Bai Jiu didn't know how to answer, because he really didn't know how to drink tea.
The room was quiet, the fragrance of tea slowly diffused in the room, and there was no sense of dissipation, and the atmosphere at this time was a little embarrassing when no one spoke.
I don't know how long it took, Vice Dean Mo sneered and said, "People who can win the debate with Tianyu about benevolence and righteousness can't even say anything about hospitality?" ”
A smile gradually appeared on Bai Jiu's face, and he said indifferently: "The guest came to bring tea and threatened to achieve great things for a thousand years." The truth is not as good as a pot of wine, and the heart is more straightforward. ”
After hearing this, Vice Dean Mo laughed and asked, "In a hurry?" ”
Bai Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm just curious." ”
Vice Dean Mo slowly stood up, put up his hands, his body was not tall and leaned forward slightly, but it was like a mountain in charge, staring at Bai Jiu's eyes with extremely heavy pressure, and said slowly: "Please go to a place." ”
Before he could ask, Vice Dean Mo took out a file from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of Bai Jiu.
"See for yourself."
Vice Dean Mo looked at Bai Jiu and said with a slightly solemn expression: "It's still a secret now, so listen to me first after reading it." ”
Bai Jiu thought about it, picked up the file from the table and opened it.
As he read, his face gradually changed, puzzled, thinking, dignified, complicated, and finally he put down the dossier, and seemed to understand why Vice Dean Mo said that.
The opening book mentions a place called Tangling.
...........
This world is very large, and Middle-earth has gone through dynasties for countless years. Among them, the high position in the temple and the reputation in the rivers and lakes are far and wide, and there are always some people of one kind or another who like to arrange for themselves before they die, but in fact they are their own place after death.
Therefore, there are many tombs in this world, and Tang Ling is the largest and most mysterious one among them.
Why is it huge, because Tang Ling does not exist in a certain fast territory of this world, but exists in a small world. Just like the small world of mountains and rivers in Yew Garden, there is a huge space, even no less than the entire Yong'an City.
Why is it mysterious, because so far no matter how people search, it is still difficult to find the specific location of that space, and there is no space magic weapon of a certain party, a hundred years ago, the Tang Dynasty fell apart, and the key to opening was also lost in the war.
Dayu inherited the Datang ruins, but only found one of the three keys. It wasn't until a few months ago that the Empress Xili issued an invitation to open the Tang Tomb, and then the Emperor Yan of the Northern Kingdom responded, and then the Dayu Imperial Court understood that the remaining two keys were in Xili and Beiyan respectively.
Regarding the invitation to open the Tang Tomb together, the Dayu Imperial Court did not respond directly, and even the Yew Garden military proposed to use force to suppress the territory and let the two dynasties hand over the key.
Finally, just a few days ago, the Qianlong test ended, and Bai Jiu got the top spot in the Qianlong test, and someone proposed in the court that I was relieved that the younger generation was excellent, and the wood showed in the forest, and the battle of force was not advisable, so it was better to open it fairly, and each with his own ability, but also to promote the prestige of my great country and the benevolence and righteousness of His Majesty.
This proposal was finally agreed by many people, and then His Majesty issued an edict in the Tianqi Fourth Court, so that there is now the scene where Vice President Mo came to drink tea for a long time.
Seeing that Bai Jiu put down the file, without waiting for him to ask questions, Vice Dean Mo began to say: "The Tang Tomb has never been opened since a hundred years, and because of some strange rules, the realm of the entrant also has strict restrictions, and it must be below the pure view realm. For some reason, the significance of Tang Ling to Dayu is very important, not only on behalf of national strength and status, but even about the future survival of Dayu. ”
Bai Jiu hesitated, about to say something, but was directly interrupted by Vice Dean Mo.
Vice Dean Mo glanced at him and continued: "You must be curious and want to ask: What does this matter to me, I am just an ordinary student who usually reads and has nothing to do. As for why I asked you to go, there are a few points that cannot be refused on the surface, and there are other meanings that let you go in private. ”
"You are the top of the Qianlong test, and among the young generation of Dayu at the moment, you are already the strongest person in this age. So this point is up to you, and it makes sense. Tang Ling stipulates that only the pure view realm can be visited, so none of the civil and military Qibin can be used. Emperor Yu issued an edict in the Tianqi Fourth Academy, you are a student of Qingfeng Academy, and the next person is a person from Zhushan. Of course, these are all required by external forces, and the most important point is because we think you want to go. ”
Bai Jiu went through what Vice Dean Mo said word for word in his heart, and after making sure that he didn't understand it wrong, he asked, "Caused by external forces, then why do you think I will be willing to go?" ”
Vice President Mo picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it comfortably, when he heard Bai Jiu's question, he did not answer directly, but slowly chewed the mutton and swallowed it like his stomach, and after a sigh of emotion, he said softly: "Tang Ling seems to have a secret of why the Tang Emperor disappeared." ”
Bai Jiu was shocked and speechless.
Vice Dean Mo picked up another piece of beef, probably because of the strength, this time he chewed for a long time, and after swallowing it, he poured himself a cup of tea and asked, "Is this a great cause?" ”
Bai Jiu recovered from the shock, picked up the tea and took a sip of it, and said, "I feel more like a thousand zhang red dust." ”
Vice Dean Mo said: "It is reasonable for you to participate in this matter. The first is the name that I have accumulated over the years, and the second is your own next experience. ”
Bai Jiu nodded, his heart was full of thoughts, and he asked, "Who knows about this matter." ”
Vice President Mo said: "There are many people who have entered the Tang Tomb this time, but after all, it is a matter of my Central Continent, in addition to the candidates selected by the three major imperial courts of Central Continent, there are also some young and talented people from the rivers and lakes of various countries. Compared with the hidden dragon test, this time the Tang Tomb will be much more dangerous, the number of people may be large, and the ichthyosaurs are more mixed, but the highest realm is not higher than the god lack realm. ”
Bai Jiu took a bite of the fish and asked, "It's dangerous?" ”
Vice Dean Mo said bluntly: "May die." ”
..............
At dusk that night, the sun fell on the clouds and the water's edge, and the sky was fiery red, like the clouds burning violently. The water by the lake is also red, but this red is more quiet and beautiful, like a full river of maple leaves that fall first in autumn.
There were still leftovers from noon on the table, a little mutton, half a plate of beef, a small half bowl of fish soup, and some cold dishes, and the tea was not finished, but these were already cold. Vice Dean Mo took the food box away, leaving it to Bai Jiu to deal with by himself. Bai Jiu didn't eat it, nor did he throw it away, but sat there in a daze.
The gentle knock on the door did not wake Bai Jiu up from his trance, but after the slight sound of pushing the door, Bai Jiu woke up.
Looking at the mess on the table, as well as the already oily fish soup, Ouyang Luo frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”
Bai Jiu looked at her, with a smile on his face, and said, "Vice Dean Mo has been here." ”
Ouyang Luo thought for a moment and asked, "So you have to go?" ”
Bai Jiu said: "It's reasonable! ”
Ouyang Luo was puzzled: "What? With that, he walked over to the table and began to help Bai Jiu clean up the mess on the table.
Bai Jiu said: "Tang Ling may have a secret about why the Tang Emperor disappeared. This matter is about Dayu, about the South China Sea, about the fairy world, and also about my own problems. ”
Ouyang Luo asked, "When?" ”
Bai Jiu said: "A week later. ”
Ouyang sighed, and then stopped talking, she poured out the leftover food, and then saw the pot of tea that had not been finished yet.
"You didn't drink?"
Bai Jiu was puzzled: "Why do you have to drink?" ”
Ouyang Luo said: "Vice Dean Mo has a certain relationship with my family, and I have been friends for a long time, and he has always only drunk wine and not tea when eating with others. ”
Bai Jiu pouted slightly, he suddenly remembered what Vice Dean Mo said at noon, and then said with a smile: "Three cups of wine in the red dust, a pot of tea for a thousand years." ”
Ouyang Luo asked, "Where did this come from?" ”
Bai Jiu walked up to Ouyang Luo, hugged her in his arms, ignored the other party's struggle, and said, "You don't know that there is another sentence behind this." ”
Ouyang Luo said in shame: "What? ”
Bai Jiu smiled: "This body originally didn't know sorrow, but I was most afraid of seeing tenderness"
