Chapter 389: Drinking Tea
Jishi City, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, has become more and more important in its economic and political status since the old capital Jingtian was destroyed by open fire.
The commotion caused by the shattering of the sword monument has long been repaired, and there is an additional pot-lid building on the original sword monument square, trying to cover up all this misfortune.
With the prosperity of Jishi City, Tianchen easily collected the materials he needed, and at this moment he returned here because he missed the scene of the first meeting with Cheng Xiaoxian, but now he couldn't even see the corner of the inconspicuous square.
When I first met Cheng Xiaoxian, she was still an ignorant and well-behaved little girl, but now, she has turned into a cup of loess, and she has died...... With the stubborn temper of the little girl back then, now that I think about it, maybe I didn't help her soft-heartedly back then, and the result might be better. ”
As soon as he thought of his beloved wife, Tianchen felt sad, and involuntarily said these words to himself.
As Tianchen became more and more depressed, his body faintly became hot and dry, and it was rapidly expanding, and Tianchen was blinded at the moment, almost demented, and he was completely unaware of it.
"Do you really think so? I met you, and that girl never regretted it from beginning to end!"
An old man's faint words reached Tianchen's ears, waking him up from his thoughts, and Tianchen realized that because he was thinking about his wife too much, he actually let the demon take advantage of it, and almost went crazy in front of the public, and became a puppet of the demon.
Tianchen was surprised, and hurriedly stabilized his mind, and then felt that this voice was very familiar, and after thinking about it, he found that it was very similar to Xiaoxian's grandfather Zhang Banxian.
Tianchen pinched it with one hand, and a cool intention rushed to his heart at the dantian, quickly calming down the inexplicable heat, and at the same time, he also released his divine sense to search around, and as a result, twenty zhang away, he found an old man who looked like Zhang Banxian, who was lying in a corner, drinking sloppy wine.
Seeing the old man again, Tianchen was overjoyed, he took two steps forward, and wanted to walk to the old man's side and chat with him, but before he could take this step, he heard a man's voice behind him.
"It's him, who has been haunting the major trading houses in the city these days, buying a large amount of supplies, and his intentions are unknown. ”
Tianchen turned around and saw that he was surrounded by a large number of officials at some point, and the person who was the leader of it, Tianchen, felt familiar, looked at it carefully, and immediately called out.
"Mingcheng?"
"Qin Wu, no, I should call you Tianchen. ”
At the same time, the other party was also surprised to call out the true and false names used by Tianchen, so that Tianchen once again confirmed his thoughts.
The officials around couldn't help but be surprised and surprised when they saw that the captor had met their boss, but most of them looked relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Since they are acquaintances, then things are fine.
"You are dressed like this, are you the official of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?" Tianchen looked Ming Cheng up and down, and found that his cultivation stopped at the late stage of the innate period, and asked curiously.
Ming Cheng took out a strange disc here, punched out a law decision, and then took the disc to Tianchen and took a photo, the disc hummed, and several large black characters were displayed in the center.
Ninggang, celestial phenomenon.
After that, Ming Chengcheng's eyes widened, and he looked back and forth between the disc and Tianchen several times, and then the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Heh, good guy, your current cultivation is really terrifying, or Lingwu dual cultivation, and at the same time reach the realm of Ninggang Heavenly Phenomena! Although I knew that your future was immeasurable, I didn't expect you to really come this far, I should call you a senior." ”
"Brother Ming and I are familiar with each other, so you don't have to be so polite, what are you going to do?" Tianchen waved his hand, then looked around and asked suspiciously.
Ming Cheng was a little embarrassed here, but he still did it routinely and explained the reason.
It turned out that when Tianchen was collecting the materials for cultivating the Five Wood Spirit Body, he thought that after he finished this matter, he might go to the Western Regions and smuggle to Jiuli, not becoming a great avenue, and never return to the land of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, Tianchen also collected other elixirs by the way, the quantity is extremely large, and at this time, the Western Regions front is tight, these things are all front-line armament materials, the Eastern Zhou officials are afraid that someone will deliberately hoard goods to disrupt the market and make the country difficult to make money, so they will pay extra attention to the sale of these elixirs, if there is a large amount of heavenly wealth and earth treasures, all forces must report!
The large-scale sale of this elixir naturally attracted the attention of the Eastern Zhou officials. Although Tianchen did some disguise in advance, it was still jointly speculated by the major commercial houses according to the information of the buyers, and this was the only way to interrogate people.
"It seems that I am also a little reckless, why didn't I think of this layer. ”
Tianchen laughed at himself, and wanted to explain to Ming Cheng, but Ming Cheng waved his hand and said: "This matter is not set by me, although you are a senior of the celestial phenomena, you have to go back with me, and make it clear to your superiors, otherwise even if I let you go, you will never be able to get out of this Extreme Master City! In addition, Yulin told me about you, I will help watch it over my sister-in-law, Yulin and Su Yu also often go to worship, alas, we all like this girl Xiaoxian, how could it be like this. ”
Ming Cheng's words were solemn, and he seemed to be asking Tianchen not to worry about what was behind him, just rush forward.
"Is this Brother Ming serious......?
Before Tianchen finished speaking, a powerful divine sense came in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it locked onto Tianchen's body, and with a little sense, he knew that it was a spirit infant-level existence.
It seems that if you don't go with you, you can't do it, you are in the other party's city, and you can cultivate far higher than yourself, this is a warning, if you act rashly, you are just asking for your own death.
Tianchen sighed secretly and asked Mingcheng to lead the way. Ming Cheng beckoned, a white light flashed in the distance, and a white jade flying car came, and then Tianchen got on the flying car with Ming Cheng surrounded by a large number of officials, and flew away.
In an ancient mansion, the white jade flying car slowly landed, and Ming Cheng and Tianchen walked out.
"Returning to my lordship, the suspect Tianchen brought it. Ming Cheng's expression was solemn, his hands clenched into fists, and he replied.
"Hmm. ”
There was an old echo in the ancient mansion, Ming Cheng retreated, and then hit a magic decision on himself, the token on his waist hummed, emitting a soft yellow light, enveloping Ming Cheng in it, and then the whole person ignored the forbidden air prohibition of the Extreme Master City, flew up, and left the ancient courtyard.
"Does Xiaoyou have a fancy to this house? If so, the old man will guarantee it, and this house will be given to Xiaoyou. ”
Seeing Tianchen moving slightly, the old man in the house seemed to be impatient, but he made a joke quite funny.
Tianchen's sense was clear, and the powerful divine consciousness that was locked on him was coming from the inner room, and it seemed that he couldn't see this side.
"The seniors laughed, the younger generations were low, and now when they can see a master like their predecessors, they are a little apprehensive, so they hesitate slightly. The seniors are not strange, and the juniors are coming over. ”
Tianchen confessed, and then strode towards the back room. But Tianchen took this step, only to find that things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought.
On the surface, the ancient courtyard seemed to have no prohibitions, but after Tianchen took a step, he suddenly felt a thousand catties of strength on his shoulders, which made his falling steps pause slightly, and then Tianchen mentioned the mana, his shoulders shook, and easily resisted this huge force, which reduced the discomfort.
One step further, the pressure is even greater.
But at present, there is still a distance of ten zhang from the inner room, and if you walk down thirty or forty steps, when you reach the door of the inner room, the huge pressure of your own weight is comparable to two hundred zhang mountains.
"It seems that not everyone can enter this inner room. Tianchen couldn't help but think secretly.
Then with a "bang", Tianchen sacrificed a gold and white shield, and the original huge force was suddenly blocked by the light shield, and then Tianchen walked in lightly.
When he walked to the last two zhang, Tianchen's footsteps were slightly sluggish, but he still walked freely like ordinary people, and in the last half zhang, the heavy pressure on Tianchen was indeed as Tianchen predicted, comparable to two hundred zhang mountains.
Tianchen frowned, his advancing figure finally slowed down, and his falling footsteps could no longer be light, making a loud "boom" sound, sinking into the ground a few inches, and the entire ancient courtyard shook with it.
Then the last three steps, Tianchen is one step at a time, one step at a time, one by one, the entire ancient courtyard is shaking, rolling thunder, Tianchen gritted his teeth and walked into the inner room.
As soon as he arrived in the inner room, all the pressure from the outside world disappeared suddenly, making Tianchen, who was under heavy pressure, feel more relaxed, and even when he first entered the inner room, his body was still a little unstable, and he took two more steps forward, and only stabilized his body under the buffer.
"Hahaha, it's really rare to have such a cultivation at such a young age. The old man was also able to enter this house in the middle of the celestial phenomenon back then, and at that time, his body was so suppressed that he almost crawled in, far less relaxed than the young man. ”
In the middle of the room, an old man with crane hair and a childish face was stroking his beard with one hand, looking at Tianchen who was a little embarrassed with a smile, and beside him there was a white-faced young man holding a teapot in his hand, standing behind him with his head bowed and his eyebrows lowered, silent.
Tianchen clasped his hands into fists and said, "How can the younger generation be praised by the seniors." ”
The old man said with a smile: "Xiaoyou's words are bad, the capable are virtuous, and they are exaggerated and deserve to accept it calmly, if they are too modest, they will lose some arrogance." Come, sit. ”
The old man waved his hand, and a fresh breeze swept out, sweeping out the kitchen board cushion tea set in the corner of the house, and landed opposite the old man, and then the white-faced young man stepped forward slowly, poured tea in the tea set, and then retreated back to its original position in broken steps
"Thank you, seniors. Tianchen thanked him and sat down unceremoniously.
"This is bitter tea, the taste is bitter, but after swallowing, it is full of fragrance and aftertaste. Just as we monks have been practicing hard day and night, year after year, and when the Great Dao is accomplished, the joys and hardships we have endured have become a good reputation that has been passed down through the ages. ”
After speaking, the old man took a sip of the tea set, and suddenly showed an aftertaste.
Tianchen hesitated slightly, but he also took a small sip, and his mouth was suddenly full of bitterness, but as the old man said, after the tea was in his stomach, it didn't take long for the dantian to warm up, and a gentle aura slowly dispersed, and at the same time made Tianchen's mouth and nose fragrant, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time.
As soon as Tianchen's tea set was put down, he took a sip again, his whole body was comfortable, and he sighed: "Good tea!"
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed: "The gentleman sees the same thing!"
