The three hundred and third snow lotus tea
If those who think highly of themselves hear Li Mengluan's words, they will definitely feel dissatisfied, thinking that she is questioning her intelligence. But Ye Yichen is not only knowledgeable, but also generous and humble, and has never had the bad habit of seeing no one in his eyes and appreciating himself alone. Therefore, he was overjoyed after hearing Li Mengluan's "doubts", hoping to find a solution to the problem from Li Mengluan's views. Only those who possess this kind of diligent pursuit of knowledge and the courage to face their own inadequacies are qualified to be called wise men.
Li Mengluan then told his discovery.
"Didn't Big Brother Ye think that Hu Bing should hide her stronghold? She was very sensitive to her people's identity, and she had to hide her identity, so even if she set up her stronghold in a remote place, she still had to use some means so that no one could find their traces. ”
"That's right, I actually overlooked such an important link, that is, Hu Bing used a spell to 'hide' the space near the stronghold, and that area looks like nothing more than an empty snowfield in the eyes of ordinary people, right?"
"Exactly. Hu Bing is good at illusion, and it was easy for her to spread illusion enchantments around her stronghold. This is also the reason why the disciples of the Holy Yao Sect have never discovered them. Li Mengluan said.
Ye Yichen had another question at this time, and said, "But we don't seem to have the ability to perceive illusions, so we still don't know how to find the location of the stronghold, so wouldn't we be in a predicament if we go on like this." ”
"Don't worry, Brother Night, Master once taught me how to perceive and decipher illusions. After casting the illusion, it will actually leave a special trace in the space, as long as you are familiar with illusion, you will definitely be able to detect it. ”
"Have you already discovered the location of that trace?" Before Li Mengluan finished speaking, Ye Yichen hurriedly asked.
"That's nature, otherwise I, with my elm head, would never have thought of it. Although this illusion enchantment cannot be seen or touched, it is close at hand, and the location we have locked on is actually very accurate. ”
"Are you saying that the illusion enchantment is actually right in front of us?" This news was like an unexpected joy for Ye Yichen, and Fang Cai's frustration was suddenly swept away.
"Exactly. I'll try to see if we can remove the illusionary barrier and remove its influence on our eyes, so that the real vision will be revealed. ”
Li Mengluan whispered a spell after speaking, and then waved his right arm lightly.
"The big dreams are scattered, and all disillusionments are shattered. ”
A fluorescent blue light suddenly rose from above Li Mengluan's right arm, spreading out in front of him, the light shining dazzlingly, completely blocking Ye Yichen's vision for a while, so that he could only see a bright blue color in his eyes. And when the light dissipated, everything that unfolded in front of him was suddenly very different.
Originally, it was just the end of the snowfield, and there was nothing but a white blank field. But in an instant, many neatly arranged wooden houses suddenly appeared, similar in structure and scale. On top of this snowy field, which is almost a mile long, there are about a thousand wooden houses that are visible.
Such a "grandiose" scene has been completely ignored, which shows that Hu Bing's attainments in illusion have been perfected, and he has already reached the realm of being fake and real.
After Ye Yichen saw these wooden houses, his face showed joy, and he said excitedly: "The hard work pays off, we finally found it, it's really not easy." Thanks to your ability to perceive illusions,
Otherwise, we don't know how much time we'll waste. Now that we have completed the first step in our plan, we can finally let go of this boulder in our hearts. ”
Li Mengluan nodded his head and said, "Actually, I blame me for forgetting to ask for that message talisman from Sister Qingling before leaving, otherwise we might have received the news from Hu Bing a long time ago, and we wouldn't have to bother so much." ”
"How can I blame you for this, I often forget trivial things like this. Although there were a few twists and turns along the way, as long as we got the information inside the abyss from Hu Bing, we could set off, and I hope everything will go well. Ye Yichen took a long breath and said.
While the two were talking, the door to the first wooden house in front of them suddenly opened from within, and a familiar figure stepped out of it.
I saw that she was wearing a light red silk dress, with long ice blue hair fluttering in the wind, and her appearance was very beautiful, it was the current leader of the Qingqiu Hu clan - Hu Bing.
"Mengluan, Yegongzi, you're finally here. I just sensed that someone had broken into the illusion barrier I had set up, so I came out to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
Hu Bing welcomed their arrival with a smile on her face, and there seemed to be a sense of relief in her tone, which undoubtedly proved that she had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Miss Hu, it's been a long time. Ye Yichen showed a polite smile and greeted.
"Hu Bing, how have you been during this time, you haven't encountered any trouble. Li Mengluan greeted cordially.
"Night Boy, how do you feel that you are getting more and more handsome, and you don't leave a little way for other men in the world to live. Hu Bing teased at Ye Yichen.
Ye Yichen didn't open his mouth to respond, but just showed an embarrassed smile, obviously not knowing how to answer.
Seeing that Ye Yichen didn't speak, Hu Bing turned his gaze to Li Mengluan and continued: "Mengluan, I've been doing well these days, and I haven't encountered any trouble, you can rest assured." By the way, did you already see the message I sent to Qing Ling with the teleportation charm, and then came here?"
Hearing Hu Bing's question, Li Mengluan shook his head helplessly and said, "After Brother Ye and I decided to go together and go to the abyss to find the space-time vortex, I forgot to ask Sister Qingling for a teleportation talisman, so naturally it is impossible to see the message you sent. I can't fix this careless problem. ”
"And how did you find here? I forgot to tell you where this stronghold is, and I drew a simple map on the teleportation charm. Hu Bing asked suspiciously.
"You once told me that this stronghold is in the snowfields of the Northern Regions, and Brother Night judged that you would definitely not set up your stronghold in those conspicuous places on the snowfields, so he guessed that your stronghold was probably in a remote place at the junction of the snowfields and the snowy mountains. And as we all know, your Hu clan has very high requirements for the quality of spiritual power in the environment, so we finally locked this place. Luckily, I know how to crack illusions, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to meet you for a long time. Li Mengluan explained.
"I see, you two are so smart, it's really hard to find here. It's hard work, blame me for not making it clear in the first place, so that you two wasted so much time. An apology appeared on Hu Bing's face.
"It's okay, we've met successfully anyway. Ye Yichen said disappreciatively.
At this time, Hu Bing suddenly made a "please" gesture to the two,
He said, "Aren't you afraid of the cold, come with me into the house, and we will sit down and talk slowly." ”
Hu Bing took Li Mengluan and Ye Yichen to his room, although the wooden house was very spacious, enough to accommodate three or four people, but the furnishings were extremely simple. There is only a bed, a bookcase, a wardrobe, a desk with the four treasures of the study, a coffee table, some wooden chairs, and some wooden boxes for miscellaneous items, and that's it. Not only are there no ornaments, but even the dressing table that is indispensable in the women's boudoir is nowhere to be found.
The three of them sat down at the coffee table, and Hu Bing raised the purple sand teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Li Mengluan and Ye Yichen and said, "This tea is still hot, you can taste it and see what the difference is from the outside." ”
Ye Yichen said "thank you" and then raised the teacup and took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately spoke approvingly: "Sweet and fragrant, refreshing, and there is a wonderful aroma that is refreshing." Just took a sip, but there was a feeling of being the queen of the week, and the spirit was vigorous. This tea is so amazing, it can be described as the first time in my life. ”
Li Mengluan was immediately interested when he heard what Ye Yichen said, so he also picked up the teacup and took a sip, and Li Mengluan showed an extremely surprised look as soon as the tea was entered.
"It's so fragrant, so sweet, it's not bitter at all, what kind of tea is this, it tastes so delicious, can it be bought on the market?" Li Mengluan obviously loves this kind of tea very much, and hopes to buy some in the future and take it with him and take it out and drink it at any time.
"This tea doesn't have the faint bitterness of those teas on the market, and it's very different from ordinary teas, and I thought you wouldn't like it. Hu Bing saw that both of them gave a very high evaluation of this tea, so he relieved his heart and smiled.
"This tea should be a kind of flower tea, although it does not have the elegant taste of other teas, but it is unique, not only sweet and delicious, but also far better than ordinary tea, it is definitely the best in a million. Ye Yichen commented seriously.
"The night boy is really omniscient, and he can tell that this is flower tea, which really makes the little woman admire. Hu Bing praised from the bottom of his heart.
Li Mengluan saw that Hu Bing did not respond to his question, so he spoke again: "You haven't said where to buy this tea, this tea is not only refreshing and thirst-quenching, but the taste is also outstanding, just take a sip, but I am already a little addicted." ”
With that, Li Mengluan raised his cup and drank the remaining tea in the cup.
"Unfortunately, this kind of tea will not be available on the market. If Mengluan wants to eat this tea often, he must stay here all the time and be a neighbor with me. Hu Bing teased with a smile.
"Why, is this tea very precious?" Li Mengluan couldn't help asking.
"I don't know how precious it is, but this kind of tea can only be made by residents near the snow-capped mountains. Because its raw material is the snow lotus on the top of the snow-capped mountains. ”
Ye Yichen was shocked when he heard this, and confirmed: "Could it be that this is the legendary snow lotus tea that only people from the Northern Regions can taste?"
Hu Bing nodded and said, "That's right, because the places where snow lotus grows are usually very steep, extremely difficult to pick, and the quantity is also very rare, so the people of the Northern Regions have never sold this snow lotus tea to the outside." ”
Li Mengluan was slightly stunned, a puzzled look appeared on his face, and said: "But doesn't the snow lotus bloom only once in a thousand years, and only bloom one at a time?
