Stepping into the door of this lonely house on the back mountain, I still felt a cold air rushing towards me, and the room was still so dim and gloomy. But this time I was very calm, and I didn't feel nervous or panicked when I first stepped into it.

He Xuanya also looked relaxed, not like she was here for the first time.

"Sister Xiao Yuan, have you been here before?" Seeing that there was no one in the house, I took the opportunity to ask.

"Haven't been. He Xuanya replied absentmindedly.

I saw that her eyes were staring at the wall in front of her left, and she was walking towards the wall.

Walking to the wall, she began to look at the paintings on the wall. She looked at them one by one, and seemed very interested in the paintings.

"The paintings on this wall are all Nuwa Niangniang. "Last time, Grandma Fairy said, I showed off.

"Hmm!" He Xuanya said without looking back, staring at the painting on the wall. Listening to the tone, she thought I was asking her.

"It's exactly the same as what I saw. He Xuanya said to herself while looking at the painting.

"What did you see?" I asked.

"Nuwa Niangniang. ”

"Huh?!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide.

I couldn't believe my ears and confirmed, "You said you've seen Nuwa Niangniang?"

He Xuanya looked back at me and smiled, and said, "Yes! ”

At this moment, a crack cracked in the ground beside the table, and then the secret door slowly opened.

The fairy grandmother walked out of it.

"I didn't expect you to come so soon. She said as she walked towards He Xuanya. His face was filled with a rare sense of joy.

The fairy grandmother walked up to He Xuanya, stretched out her hand to lead her, and turned around and walked towards the secret door.

I followed them down the stone staircase leading to the apothery, and as I went down, the two doors above slowly merged, slamming shut.

As soon as I stepped out of the stone stairs, I smelled a refreshing fragrance.

"It smells so good!" I said involuntarily.

Grandma Fairy looked back at me and said, "Today you are stained with Sister Xiaoya's light." I have been hiding Siyang tea for 20 years, and today I took it out for the first time. ”

As he spoke, he pulled He Xuanya to take off her shoes and go to her meditation seat.

The fairy grandmother herself sat on the main seat behind the low table, and let He Xuanya sit on the left side of the low table, that is, on her right hand.

"You come and sit down, too. Grandma Fairy pointed to the seat on her left and said.

I also took off my shoes and sat cross-legged.

On the low table was a blue lacquer tray with a white porcelain lotus-mouthed teapot on the tray and six white porcelain teacups on the side.

The aroma just came out of this teapot.

"Grandma, what kind of tea is Siyang tea? I've only seen brick tea and hair tea, and I've only seen green tea, white tea, oolong tea, or something in books. I've never heard of Siyang tea. ”

The fairy grandmother turned over three white porcelain tea cups, lifted the teapot and poured the tea, and said: "I picked this tea and made it myself, and the name was also given by me, where can you go to see and listen."

"This tea grows in the southwest mountain into the mountain pass between the first line of Tianshan cliffs. On the cliff of the mountain cliff, there are two thousand-year-old tea trees.

"The tea trees are between two cliffs, and there is no sunlight for the whole day, except when the sun is in the corner.

"In the corner of the sun, it is the middle of the day, when the sun is full of energy, and the dryness is the weakest. After noon, the sun gradually fades and the dryness grows.

"Whether it is an animal or a plant, when it encounters Ruiqi, it will give birth to the quality of Lingxiu, and when it encounters dryness, it will decay. These two tea trees have unique rui qi, and there is no harm of dryness, and they are the most intelligent things.

"And the cliffs on both sides are extremely steep, and they are as smooth as knives and axes, so smooth that even monkeys, let alone people, can't go up. Therefore, the two tea trees were not damaged due to over-harvesting. ”

"And how did you get the tea leaves?" I asked, puzzled.

The fairy grandmother smiled proudly and said, "The wonder is here." There is a cave next to the tea tree, which happens to be completely covered by the tea tree, and cannot be found from the bottom of the cliff or the top of the mountain. The cave leads to the dark river below the mountain, and the dark river happens to be connected to the dark river below my platform. From here, we sailed into the mouth of the dark river in the southwest, and traveled for an hour and a half,—— that is, three hours—and went ashore to the stone cave leading to the heights, and in about half an hour, we reached the mouth of the cave by the tea tree.

"Every year around the vernal equinox, I have to row a boat to pick tea on the cliff over there. At that time, the tea tree had just revealed yellow-green buds on the old trunk, like the tip of a cone, and the leaves were tightly hugged. Remove such shoots with bamboo tweezers and roll them up in fresh burdock. After returning, it is steamed with burdock leaves, and then dried in the oven. This tea is just fine.

"Because the tea tree only receives the sun at that time, I named it Siyang Tea. ”

"This tea is not easy to come by. He Xuanya only slurred when she heard this.

"You pick it every year, you can drink new tea every year, why do you have to keep the tea for twenty years?" I asked.

"Twenty years ago, the day I went to pick tea, it was snowing so hard that the tea trees were all buried in the snow. The tea tree buds are killed by the snow gas, and the tea flavor is more fragrant and rich. So I kept the tea that year and was reluctant to drink it. ”

He Xuanya took a sip of the teacup and exclaimed: "It's really good tea, it is fragrant to people's hearts." ”

I also took a sip of the teacup, and suddenly felt that the meridians in my body were relaxed, and the whole person was instantly refreshed.

"Well, it smells good!" I exclaimed.

The fairy grandmother laughed when she heard this.

He Xuanya put down the teacup, and her face gradually became solemn.

"Grandma, I never understood if I was dead that day, and if so, how did you bring me back to life. What kind of means did you use when the hospital was powerless?" asked He Xuanya.

The fairy grandmother pondered for a while and said, "Death and life are just appearances, why are you so obsessed." Baby, your fate is predestined a long time ago, and life and death are not important to you. The important thing is that when you are faced with a choice, you can accept your mission with all your heart and be strong enough to carry the burden on your shoulders. ”

"I've known since I was a kid that I'm different. One day, something unexpected will befall me. Before, I wasn't in a hurry to know what the unexpected was, because all I could do was wait in silence. But the experience of these two days made me uneasy. I knew I had to do something, but I didn't know what I was going to do. ”

He Xuanya had a pained expression on her face.

"Calm yourself down first. Forget about these days, to be precise, about what you've heard and what you've guessed about these days. Let's go back to you three days ago. The rest of the matter can be taken as it comes. Grandma said calmly.

"I can forget. But I can't keep myself from dreaming. He Xuanya said and sobbed.

The fairy grandmother got up and walked to He Xuanya's side, sat down next to her, and then stretched out a hand to hug He Xuanya.

He Xuanya began to cry.

"Baby, you're a miracle, no one can pass that level, but you did it. You are an amazing person. You have also given me hope. But your own ventricles need to be cleaned by yourself. It's bound to be a painful process, and it's the first lesson of your life path that really begins. ”

The fairy grandmother took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped away the tears on her face for He Xuanya.

I watched the two of them snuggle together, like a mother and daughter, and like a pair of grandchildren. But I couldn't understand what their relationship was, or what the conversation they had just confusing me meant.

The fragrance of Siyang tea is more and more like the fragrance of spirits, and I am enchanted in this underground cave.
