10. Mountain rain is coming
In the small courtyard of the outer city, Lan Xian and Ember Bing sat at both ends of the stone table, there was a set of exquisite tea sets in front of the two, the light blue tea in the white porcelain cup was steaming, the teapot lid in the center of the stone table was put aside, Lan Yuyu had just poured hot water on it, and the tea leaves were tumbling, and the tea leaves wrapped in the tea core slowly unfolded, revealing the tender green buds.
It is also peculiar to say, generally the color of the tea leaves will deepen after frying and drying, but this tea core is tender green as if it has just been picked from the tea tree.
Ember Bing took a sip of the tea in the cup, and the amazement and appreciation in his eyes were even greater.
Lan Xian also took a sip of tea, his eyes full of joy.
Lan Yuyu on the side still had surprise in her eyes until now - half an hour ago, her father was still skinny and didn't eat rice, but now she can happily drink tea with the young man. What's even more surprising is that the current father has a ruddy face, so is there still the previous weak look? It's just better than it was a few years ago. In addition to being amazed, Lan Yuyu had to admire Ember Bing a lot.
Lan Xian watched the tea leaves in the pot gradually calm down, reached out to cover the lid, waved to Lan Yuyu and said, "Stand down, Dad has something to discuss with Gongzi Li." β
Lan Yuyu retreated, and when she turned around, there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, but she didn't say much. In the past, when my father was in good health, he was very concerned about her education, and it was not until his body was too weak that he could no longer teach, so that she could continue her studies at the school. Therefore, her upbringing is better than that of the young lady of a large family.
When his daughter walked away, Lan Xian added tea to both of them, and then looked at the young man opposite who was dressed in a down-and-out dress but was still handsome, and said, "Your Highness is also a person from the 'Heavenly Umbrella'?" β
"Umbrella?" Ember Bing was puzzled and asked rhetorically, "What's that?" β
This time it was Lan Xian's turn to be surprised. "Your Highness doesn't know about the Umbrella? Then how can the second order have a way to deal with the energy left over from the alien race? β
"I really don't know about the Heavenly Umbrella, as for why I can clear the power of the Ming clan for you, it's better not to inquire about the secrets of the royal family."
Ember replied, and at the same time pushed the ability of "Chasing the Stars" to his father.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Even if he knew that Lan Xian, who had a heroic and righteous spirit, it was impossible for him to do something like a villain such as a whistleblower and frame-up, but the heart of guarding against people was indispensable, after all, the two were not familiar with each other, and it was impossible for Ember Bing to put his heart into him. All in all, it comes down to the fact that there are many benefits and no harm in the body of Ember Qianzhen.
"Ming? What does Your Highness mean? Lan Xian was puzzled, obviously not knowing this title.
"I don't know, sir?" Ember asked rhetorically.
"I really don't know. When I was studying abroad, I was only a second-class person, and it was the same strength as His Royal Highness. Because of his low strength, he can't understand such a secret. I met it later during my study tour, and I learned some truths about this world. β
Ember Bing's spirits perked up and he knew that the point was coming.
"Back then, because of some grievances, I left the academy early to study, so some secrets didn't have a chance to know from the academy. Most of the knowledge was learned from study tours. The sage said: 'Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles.' Don't lie to me. β
Speaking of this, Lan Xian paused.
"Actually, what Your Highness really wants to know is the situation of the alien who injured me. And if you think about the Ming ancestor in His Highness's mouth, it is the title of the alien race. β
Seeing Ember Bing nodding, Lan Xian continued: "It's the second time I've met that alien here. The first time was in a county town, and I was fortunate to see the current saint personally take action. Because I personally felt the power of that kind of demonic bewitchment, when I encountered this kind of thing again, Lan also wanted to get rid of it quickly, not to mention that the alien was only a third-order strength, and I had just broken through the three realms at that time. Lan Xian spoke eloquently, his tone calm, but when he said "Today's Saint", his eyes were complicated.
"But you don't know the Ming missionary's methods of controlling the believers, so you were injured by him, and the power of the Ming tribe was left in your body. This power has been eroding your body for more than twenty years, and with serious injuries, you will soon be assimilated by the Ming clan. Ember added.
Lan Xian nodded, signaling that Ember Bing's words were correct.
"It's just that I'm curious about how you seriously injured a third-order missionary with followers. As far as I know, the Confucian Four Realms were almost no combat power before. β
Lan Xian smiled bitterly, obviously poked in the sore spot.
"If it's inconvenient to say, then don't say it." Seeing Lan Xian's expression, Ember Bing said again.
"Definitely. If you want to make a deal with Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely not suffer. I wonder if Your Highness would like to hear it? After hesitating for a while, Lan Xian still made up his mind and spoke.
"I want to hear about it." Ember Bing became interested, and he was also curious about what could allow a low-level Confucian who had never been known for his combat power to single-handedly inflict heavy damage on several cultivators of the same rank.
Lan Xian took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms, the style was the same as the "Ukiyo-lu" and "Bingyue Lu" that Ember Bing had seen before, but the color was white.
"This is a family tradition, and it can be cultivated up to the 12 realms, and it can be practiced at the same time, and it has no impact on the main cultivation of the mind."
Lan Xian's words made Ember Bing's face change several timesβfrom curiosity to surprise to horror.
"Is it this mental method that allows you to fight the strength of many powerhouses of the same level?" Ember asked.
"Yes."
"Then why do you want to trade it with Hongu? The preciousness of such a method should be no less than the inheritance method of the three royal families, or even surpassing it. Do you know that this palace can offer something of equal value to trade with you? In other words, with your current state, there is nothing this palace can do if you want to rob you. Ember Bing's expression became solemn, and his self-proclaimed self-proclaimed "I" changed from "I" to a more formal "Hongu".
"Since His Royal Highness has the means to restrain foreign races, he must be deeply valued by His Majesty, and there is no need for Lan to worry about his temperament. As for the value of the Dharma, His Highness overestimated. Although there are not many advanced methods that can be practiced at the same time, the mental energy required for this method is really terrifying, and it is like marijuana for people with insufficient talent. β
"Rong Bengong thinks about it, as the chief of Yingtian Academy, Mr. must be very talented, there is no need to have this trouble, Bengong Guan Ling Ai's face is also extremely beautiful, and there is no problem in practicing. Well... But are there any other restrictions to this law? β
Lan Xian smiled bitterly: "Your Highness is aware of everything, and there are indeed restrictions on this method. With that, he pushed the bamboo slip in front of Ember Bing and said, "Your Highness might as well watch one or two first, and then talk about other things if you are satisfied." Although there were many restrictions on the method just after speaking, Lan Xian's words were calm, revealing full confidence, as if Ember Ice would definitely trade with him after reading it.
After a while, Ember Bing put down the bamboo slip, his eyes full of amazement.
"What's the matter, can Your Highness be tempted?" Lan Xian had a smile on his face, and when he saw that Ember Ice had stopped watching, he asked.
"It is indeed extraordinary, and the defect you are talking about is that the strength of the exercise depends on the quality and quantity of the materials and the essence and blood of the practitioner, and in a sense, it is not a defect, but an advantage for some practitioners with a solid background. But you call it a defect, and it seems that the gentleman has something urgent to do, otherwise it wouldn't have been. Ember Ice exclaimed. What the gentleman wants, you can say. β
"A method of the Twelve Realms that is suitable for women to practice, and then I want you to do me a favor." Lan Xiandao, expressionless.
Ember Ice Tongue.
"The method of the Twelve Realms, Mr. really dares to speak. Since Mr. was once the chief of Yingtian Academy, he has always known about the royal family's collection. There are only three of the methods in the palace that go straight to the Star Lord, that is, the Twelve Realms Methods that Mr. wants, one is the "Habitat Record" practiced by Mr., which is also the highest inheritance of Yingtian Academy, and there is also one that specializes in the physical body. You want a method suitable for women to practice, and Mr. did not teach Lan Yuyu "Qizhilu", obviously because he didn't want her to follow the Confucian route, and he thought that Mr. came to the inheritance method within my royal family. β
Lan Xian smiled and nodded, and after a while, he said slowly, "Yes." And Lan believes that His Highness will not refuse, at least not now. After all, my method has a strong attraction to people like Your Highness, isn't it? It can make the Star Lord Realm live to the limit, which is something that all the powerhouses of the Star Lord Realm dream of. β
Ember Bing scolded secretly, saying that people are old and fine, and it is true. This Lan Xian said the benefits so bluntly, I don't think I want to give him room for bargaining.
After hesitating for a moment, Ember Bing said: "It's not a secret, this palace does have a strong interest in this method, but Mr. also knows that the method you want is not a secret in the royal family." After a pause, Ember Bing continued: "That's it, if Mr. is willing to wait, this palace can find a method of the twelve realms for Mr. within two years, and then this palace will use the method to exchange with Mr., what does Mr. think?" β
The smile on Lan Xian's face remained unchanged, but this time he shook his head and said, "No, I want that one." β
Ember Bing showed a regretful look on his face and said, "That palace can only give up." β
Lan Xian seemed to be surprised by Ember Ice's answer in the slightest.
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I can give Your Highness a year, and Your Highness will ask your father what he means. Back then, the people of the royal family wanted to exchange "Ice Moon Record" for my method, but the premise was that "Ice Moon Record" had to be practiced by one person, and then it was not allowed to be passed on, Lan did not agree, thinking that if His Royal Highness asked, he would get a positive answer from His Majesty. β
"Then what if this palace doesn't get the result that Mr. wants?" Ember asked.
"Hehe, that's naturally according to what His Highness said before." Lan Xian said with a smile.
"The last requirement, what this palace helps you do must not violate morality and the bottom line of this palace." Ember Ice Road.
"Nature, nature." Lan Xian said, as he pushed the bamboo slip in front of Ember Bing. "Now, it's His Highness. In the future, whether it is taught to juniors or friends, it is obvious that it is not a matter of questioning. β
"Sir, give it to me now, aren't you afraid that I will regret it if I take it?" There was a slight hint of surprise on Ember Bing's face, but his heart sank.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Lan Xian say: "I believe in His Highness's character, and it is not easy to trouble His Highness next, and it requires good strength." β
Good calculation. Ember Ice said secretly in his heart. But he said: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After that, a satisfied smile appeared on his face at the right time.
"Drink tea, drink tea." Lan Xian poured another cup of tea for Ember Ice.
Ember Bing wanted to go back to the house, so he drank the tea in his cup in one go, and then, his expression froze suddenly.
"How?" Lan Xian asked with a smile.
Ember Bing was stunned for a moment, and Fang said: "Good tea, good tea, good tea." β
Three praises in a row, which shows Ember Bing's surprise.
Lan Xian still had a smile on his face, as if nothing could change his joy after recovering from a serious illness.
"This 'spring tea' is the oldest tea tree in the tea garden of the academy, only two taels a year, one tael for Your Majesty, five dollars for the dean, and five dollars for the chief. It is a rare holy relic, and one or two of the spiritual energy contained in it is equivalent to a year of penance for a beginner monk. β
As he spoke, he poured another glass for Ember Ice.
"Lan still has some tea here, I want to drink it for seven days. Seven days later, His Royal Highness accompanied Xian to do something. After speaking, he didn't care about Ember Bing's answer, and began to drink tea by himself, praising loudly while drinking.
A pot of tea, the two drank for nearly an hour. From the tasteless at the beginning, the more you drink it, the more fragrant it becomes, the more you drink the aura, the heavier it becomes, and the two people who drink it are sweating profusely, all because a large amount of aura enters the body and cannot be transformed.
After drinking the last cup full of tea with the strongest aura, Ember Bing got up and said goodbye. The benefits he has received today are not small, and he needs to stabilize his realm as soon as possible so that his foundation will not be unstable.
Although he got the benefits of splashing the sky, Ember Ice couldn't be happy. In the middle of the second realm, plus the third-grade Confucian students still can't be settled, so how powerful is the Ming clan? Or rather, how many followers has he accumulated over the years? Damn, he has been lurking in Wuxian for so many years, why hasn't he found anything in the worship hall? What should I do......
