Chapter 33: Stay in the Valley
Qin Xuan and the others waited until the evening, but they didn't see Old Man Mo come back, so Mo Zilong cooked with his wife, cooked a table of meals for everyone, and took out a jar of Xuanhuang wine, which was very popular in Eastern Xuanzhou.
Qin Xuan took a sip, only to feel that the entrance was mellow and sweet, but it was heartwarming, although he drank an average amount of wine, but he always liked to drink a few glasses, so he naturally knew that this wine was full of stamina.
During the meal, Mo Zilong's wife Hai Lan also sat generously with the prime minister, and during the banquet, she talked and laughed with everyone, completely without the timidity and shyness of ordinary women nowadays, and touched a few glasses of wine with several people.
Qin Xuan felt that this was actually very good, he didn't forget to praise every dish he ate, which made Hai Lan Jiaojiao laugh again and again, it was not that he had a short mouth, but it really tasted very good. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Mo, your two of you have good skills, the taste of this dish is the same as that made by the chef of Fengbo Building." ”
Mo Zilong drank a few glasses of wine, his face was slightly red, and he laughed when he heard this, "Brother Qin, what you said is not wrong at all, there are several kinds of seasonings used in the cooking of Fengbo Mansion are from our Snow Dragon Valley, of course, it is almost the same." ”
"Oh, what's the matter, aren't you unable to get out of the valley, how can you do business with Fengbo Lou?"
After Qin Xuan finished speaking, even Ximen Feilong's eyes were attracted, obviously, it was the first time he had heard about this matter.
Mo Zilong smiled, "It's not a secret, you see, my daughter-in-law and I, and my father, we are all hidden disciples, there are tens of thousands of disciples like us in the Snow Dragon Valley, then we have to eat, there is no shortage of game in the mountains this day, but how can we only eat meat every day?" Therefore, from the beginning of the establishment of the hidden gate, the first generation of sect masters set up a special communication with the outside world to transport the grain, the disciples in the door had to support themselves, go to the mountains to hunt or collect medicine, and then give the obtained things to the disciples of the grain hall, they are responsible for helping the people in the valley in exchange for daily needs. Most of the Tianshan Snow Lotus in your Central Plains, most of the ginseng and other things are from the Snow Dragon Valley. ”
"Later, the Grain Movement Hall slowly became trading with the outside world, and the inside of the Snow Dragon Valley became the same as the outside, and the families of the disciples of the Grain Movement Hall started a business in the valley, and they were all better than us, which is all to blame on my father, who did not choose the Grain Transporting Hall at the beginning, but joined the thankless Border Guarding Hall, doing the drudgery of guarding the border. ”
As if realizing that he hadn't cut to the chase for a long time, Mo Zilong smiled awkwardly and continued: " As for this supply of seasoning to Fengbo Building, or the new owner came up with it, the jade boss before he became the door master, he studied a number of strange things, this seasoning is the simplest, he handed over the method and ingredients to us, this material, some are taken locally in the mountains, and some also need to be purchased outside by the disciples of the Grain Hall, after we make it, we will use a unified bottle to pack it up, and then the people of the Grain Hall will take it out of the Snow Dragon Valley to sell, and they will take one percent of the money earned, and we will take ninety percent. ”
After hearing this, Qin Xuan praised from the bottom of his heart: "You new sect master is really not an ordinary person, and I don't know if he will receive us......
Mo Zilong patted his chest and said solemnly: "Don't worry, not everyone can come in Snow Dragon Valley, since my father brought you in, it means that you are qualified to enter." ”
Qin Xuan didn't understand the logic of his words, smiled, and didn't say anything more.
After everyone finished eating, Old Man Mo finally came back, and after entering the door, he smiled at Qin Xuan and the others and said, "The door master agrees with you, let you go now." ”
After speaking, he saw his daughter-in-law cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, so he feigned anger at his son and said, "Stinky boy, did you leave some wine and food for your son?"
Mo Zilong said with a smile: "Then do you need to say, even if I forget, Hailan will not forget!"
Mo Shougui glanced at his daughter-in-law, smiled lightly, and sat down at the dinner table, although he was a little unaccustomed to his daughter-in-law's dress, but she was quite filial to herself, which made him very satisfied. After a while, Hailan served two plates of vegetables and a pot of warm Xuanhuang wine.
Seeing that Qin Xuan and the others were looking at him, Mo Shougui smiled and said, "What, do you want to watch the old man eat?" After speaking, he looked at his son, "Zilong, you can take them over, there are people waiting outside." ”
When Mo Zilong heard this, he immediately understood his father's intentions, he wanted to show his face more in front of the new master and leave some impression on him. didn't hesitate at the moment, and led Qin Xuan, Ximen Feilong and the others towards the door.
At the entrance, a wide unicorn snow sedan chair was parked, pulled by three sturdy snow unicorns. Qin Xuan, Ximen Feilong, Bai Lu, Yue Yao and Mo Zilong all sat in it and didn't feel crowded. The man who drove the sedan chair was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, Ximen Feilong only glanced at it, and immediately felt the awe-inspiring aura emanating from his body, and he concluded that this person's hands must have been stained with a lot of human lives.
Qin Xuan was also slightly aware of this, and after getting into the car, he and Ximen Feilong glanced at each other, and both of them had a trace of vigilance in their hearts.
Mo Zilong seemed to be completely unaware of this, and all the way he was talking about how smart and approachable their new master was.
The Qilu snow sedan chair is speeding on a wide main road, the snow on the road has long been crushed hard as masonry, and the bottom of the snow sedan chair rubs against it, making a continuous clattering sound, which lasts for about half an hour before it stops abruptly.
At this time, when night fell, Qin Xuan and the others got out of the snow sedan chair, and saw a magnificent building similar to the style of the Central Plains, with two white lanterns hanging above the gate, and a stone lion more than one person high stood on the left and right sides of the door, one prostrate and one raised his head, which was particularly imposing in the night.
The big man driving the snow sedan chair walked to the door, gently buttoned the shop head ring on the door, and after a while, the door was opened from the inside, and an old man with gray hair leaned out half of his body, glanced at the big man, and glanced at Qin Xuan and a few people, and said lightly: "Come in, the door owner has been waiting for a long time." ”
The group followed the old man into the courtyard of the house, through several corridors, to a palatial and spacious living room. Before entering the door, Qin Xuan saw a white-clothed man with his back to them in the innermost part of the living room, the person looked up slightly at the mural on the wall, and the painting was two huge cloud-setting silkworms, but the painting was extremely exaggerated, like two real dragons swimming above the nine heavens.
Qin Xuan knew that this person must be the head of the Snow Dragon Valley, and he was undoubtedly the master of the Hidden Sect, Jade Linfeng, who was highly respected by the young people here.
Hearing someone coming, the man in white with his hands on the wall turned around, and Qin Xuan saw his appearance clearly. It can really be said that the heavenly court is full and round, the eyebrows are picturesque, the lips are like Dan, and the hair on the forehead is meticulously combed, but on both sides of the eyebrows, two wisps of slightly curly bangs hang down, and it is really like the name of the jade tree in the wind.
For some reason, on his body, Qin Xuan faintly felt a bit of a temperament similar to Mu Linchun, and he couldn't help but secretly think that if Mu Tou's illness was cured, he would definitely be like the person in front of him.
Even the two daughters, Egret and Yueyao, couldn't help but feel a little appreciation for this man they saw for the first time, and secretly praised his suave and graceful.
Yu Linfeng smiled at everyone and beckoned a few people to sit down, but when he looked at Yue Yao, his eyes stayed longer.
Mo Zilong introduced everyone individually, but he was a little cramped and restrained, he didn't dare to sit down, and simply stood beside the door master.
Yu Linfeng had seen Mo Zilong twice, and he was also quite impressed, so he smiled and said, "Zilong, I've worked hard for you, you can sit too!"
Mo Zilong didn't expect the door master to remember his name, and he was a little excited for a while, and said: "It's not hard, I'll just stand, you talk about you, I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a young girl came in with a few cups of tea, although Mo Zilong was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he was still thoughtful and helped the girl bring the tea to everyone.
Qin Xuan's eyes were attracted by the girl, because the clothes she was wearing were very strange, like a sleeveless skirt, but they were very close-fitting, and they were embroidered with lifelike flowers.
Seeing Qin Xuan's gaze, the egret frowned slightly, and glared at him, the latter seemed to notice something, withdrew his gaze and grinned, but saw that the egret put on a look of disdain for him.
Yu Linfeng exchanged a few words with everyone, then looked at Ximen Feilong and asked, "Brother Ximen, is your grandfather okay?"
Ximen Feilong was satisfied when he heard this, although he called himself his elder brother, but it was invisibly equivalent to admitting that he was the same generation as him, which was also acknowledging his grandfather's generation, but he said calmly on his face: "Grandpa's body has always been tough, and he is worried about the master of Lao Yumen." ”
Yu Linfeng nodded, turned his gaze to Yue Yao, and asked with a smile, "May I ask if Miss Yue Yao is from the Heavenly Snow Country?"
Yue Yao was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded, thought about it, and said: "My son-in-law also said that I am from the Tianxue Country, but I grew up in the Central Plains and have never been to the Tianxue Country. She paused, then bit her lip lightly, and said: "I can't hide it, we took the liberty to enter the valley to capture the cloudy silkworms, and I hope that the lord of the Jade Gate can give us a pair of silkworms, so that we can go back to save my son-in-law." ”
They have been out for a whole day, and Yueyao is worried about Mu Linchun who is in a coma in Yang Laohan's house all the time, so she, who has never spoken much, said a lot for the first time, and cut to the chase as soon as she came up.
Yu Linfeng asked, "I don't know who your son-in-law is?"
Yue Yao hesitated, she didn't know whether to tell Mu Linchun's identity or not, and finally looked at Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The person I want to save is my brother who has a strange disease, his name is Mu Linchun, and he is the young master of the Red Lotus Sword Sect. ”
When Yu Linfeng heard the name Mu Linchun, he was slightly stunned, but he immediately came back to his senses and unconsciously whispered: "It turned out to be him......"
He couldn't help but look at Qin Xuan again, and then stood up, with one hand behind and the other in front, with a dashing posture, he paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, as if he was thinking about something.
Yu Linfeng walked to the door with his back to Qin Xuan and the others, looked at the night outside the house, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then looked abrupt.
Qin Xuan and the others only thought that he was thinking about whether to give the silkworm or not, but no one bothered him. Finally, I saw him give an order to the door, and soon after, the old man who led the way just now brought a delicate glass box in both hands.
Yu Linfeng took the box and walked back to his place, Qin Xuan and the others' eyes were all focused on the small box, and there were two wriggling figures in the box faintly, Qin Xuan's breathing became a little short, could it be the cloudy silkworm here?
Yu Linfeng put the box on the coffee table beside him, he glanced at a few people, and said: "This Yin Silkworm is very important to this sect, each pair of silkworms represents the life and death of a future descendant of the hidden door, and now the number is extremely limited, with one pair is one less pair......"
When Ximen Feilong heard this, he was a little impatient, and he asked: "If you have any conditions, you can say it, and we will do it if we can do it." ”
"Okay, Brother Simon is refreshing, then I'll say it directly. Yu Linfeng looked at Qin Xuan with a smile and continued: "I heard that Brother Qin's medical skills are excellent and he has a deep understanding of pharmacology, and before entering the valley, he said that it is possible to find a way to make people adapt to the cold without harming the silkworms, so I asked Brother Qin to stay in the valley for the time being and help us solve this problem." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, this request seemed to be nothing, but in fact, it was to leave Qin Xuan in the Snow Dragon Valley, if Qin Xuan couldn't find a way all the time, then wouldn't he have to stay here forever?
Ximen Feilong thought it was good, but immediately remembered his grandfather's instructions, although he didn't like Qin Xuan very much, but he also knew the severity, since grandpa and this Jade Linfeng both wanted to keep him in the sect, it meant that there must be some secrets in this person that he didn't know, so he said: "Jade Gate Master, Qin Xuan is my grandfather's newly accepted closed disciple, grandpa said that if this is the matter, let me take him back to Taixu Mountain, I'm afraid of ......"
"Eh, Brother Simon is too worried. Yu Linfeng raised his hand to stop Ximen Feilong's words, and he said: "Since Brother Qin said so, it means that he has this ability, even if he really can't find it at that time, it is impossible for me to trap him in the valley for the rest of his life, as for delaying the transmission of the Ximen Sword Crown, Brother Ximen can rest assured, I will let the elders in this sect lay a good foundation for him, no matter how much he learns the martial arts of the Hidden Sect here, he will give it to you in the future." ”
Ximen Feilong was about to speak, but was stopped by Qin Xuan with his eyes, he quickly got up and said, "I promise you." ”
