Chapter 22 Good Tea and Fine Wine
"Are you speechless?" Wang Zai came to Zhang's house to look for his father, and happened to meet Zhang Xueqing and Lin Xi, who were about to go to the street.
Chu Yichuan really couldn't say anything when he saw his fiancΓ©e beside Wang Zheng, he was still a teenager and not very old, so he didn't understand anything about marriage.
The words he said in front of Lin Xi before were just to anger Lin Xi, after all, a teenager didn't have a lot of ideas in this regard.
Now that the two who are about to get married are more or less embarrassed, Zhang Xueqing and Chu Yichuan both pretended not to see each other.
Lin Xi wore a mask and his aura was hidden for a while, and he was indeed speechless to outsiders.
"Is there anything Wang Gongzi looking for Brother Speechless?" asked Zhang Xueqing.
Wang Zai smiled and said to himself, "Why did I come to him? If you accidentally get into a fight, you won't be beaten up speechless, right?"
Zhang Xueqing is not disgusted with Wang Zheng, the two of them have known each other since childhood, but in her impression, Wang Zheng was taken away by a person when he was a child, and he never saw him again.
Seeing that Zhang Xueqing was looking at herself, Wang Zheng said, "What's the matter? I haven't seen you for many years, and I've changed a lot?"
Zhang Xueqing shook her head: "It's still the same as it was back then." β
Wang Zai entered Zhang's house with a smile and said that Miss Xueqing's kind words were not bad.
When there was no one, Zhang Xueqing whispered to Lin Xi: "Don't you know, Wang Zheng seems to have been taken away by those so-called monks when he was a child, and my father was still talking in my ear at that time, and my ears were almost calloused when I heard it." β
Lin Xi asked, "Does Miss Xueqing know about the monk?"
Zhang Xueqing thought for a while and said softly: "I know a little bit, just like what is written in the book, the kind of person who can soar through the clouds and turn gold into stone." β
Lin Xi smiled: "Miss Xueqing is talking about the characters in the book?"
"I think it's all about the same, it's just that I haven't seen how powerful he is when Wang Zheng competed with Brother Liu Ye that day. β
"Miss Xueqing is a little disappointed in the monk. Lin Xi said with emotion.
Zhang Xueqing didn't refute, thought about it carefully, and then said: "However, I have really seen a monk who soars through the clouds, and my father calls him Immortal Chief. β
Lin Xi was a little curious, the monk said, Master Yang he rarely heard of it, these things were said to him by Cheng Yi when he was bored, in Cheng Yi's words, there are many, many monks in the world, once they reach the point where they can open the mountain and reclaim the sea, and the great power makes people feel awe-inspired.
Cheng Yi is not a liar, he naturally knows some things when he talks about this, but at that time, Lin Xi felt that Cheng Yi was too far away, even if there were those people, how could a person like himself who had to live in a small town all his life have a chance to see it? These words were treated as idle chatter and laughed.
Now that Miss Xueqing has mentioned it, of course she has to ask.
"Miss Xueqing, is the monk you mentioned very powerful?" Lin Xi asked.
Zhang Xueqing said with a smile: "It's amazing, when he came to us, he really fell from the sky, and the clouds around him disappeared with his fall, I couldn't come out to see this immortal at that time, I just hid in the room and watched secretly." β
Lin Xi listened carefully, it was Master Yang who said it, but what he said was not immortal arts, but relying on himself to fly around in the air, as if it was called "light gong", at that time Lin Xi really believed it, and it was not until he finally found out that he was deceived by Master Yang again in a book.
"In the end, I found out that the immortal chief said that he came to us to find an opportunity, that is, to accept a disciple, and the first condition was not to accept female disciples. When she said this, Zhang Xueqing was obviously a little angry.
Lin Xi said with a smile: "Most of the immortal chief is afraid that the woman will not be able to endure hardship. β
After speaking, Lin Xi knew that he had said the wrong thing, but Zhang Xueqing didn't care, "That immortal elder took one person away in the end, and that was Wang Zheng." From that day on, my father said that Wang Zheng followed the immortal chief to practice. β
Lin Xi asked, "Is that Immortal Elder an old man?"
Zhang Xueqing thought hard and shook her head.
"Are you sure?"
"Although it was a child, the old man still distinguished, that person was indeed not an old man, and a woman, but she was not as beautiful as me. β
Lin Xi remembered the scene when he hid in Liu Ye's house that night, he obviously saw Wang Zheng calling an old master, how could he become a woman again when he arrived here.
Things are getting more and more complicated, Lin Xi just wants Liu Ye to come back now, and then run away with him, he feels that something is about to happen soon, and it is not a big thing that they can stop.
Monk Lin Xi had only heard of it, but he had never seen it, but he was sure that he could never be the monk's opponent, and now Lin Xi hoped that Liu Ye would come back soon.
Wang Zheng came to the king and handed over a page of his own.
Master Wang looked at the yellowed piece of paper and smiled a little, he took out the remaining two pieces of paper, and when he put the three together, something surprising happened.
Three completely unrelated pieces of yellow paper on the table were connected together, and Master Zhang squinted at them, as if he knew them in advance.
The three pieces of yellow paper melted together, and a complete white paper appeared.
"This rune paper was given to us by the immortal chief back then, and each piece of yellow paper can help us resist a disaster, but what about the three pieces of yellow paper combined? He said that it is enough to kill people like him, that is, this small piece of white paper can kill immortals. Master Wang said.
Master Zhang sighed, a little pity and a little unwilling.
"The price of these three pieces of yellow paper is to involve the luck of our three families, and the paper is gone. β
When it comes to luck, people from rich families understand that it is Feng Shui. As soon as the luck of the family is dispersed, then the family business accumulated by this generation should be dispersed together.
Master Wang smiled and said, "You old fellow, you haven't enjoyed enough happiness at such an old age? The luck of our three major families should have gone a long time ago, and it should have dispersed twenty years ago." β
Master Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Wang Luo, Wang Luoman." β
Wang Zai said: "This rune paper has a specific usage, and it will be used by the child when the time comes, you and Uncle Zhang should leave here as soon as possible." β
Master Wang squinted and nodded, and handed the white paper to Wang Zai.
After finishing speaking, Master Wang faced the sky, slightly sleepy.
Master Zhang told Wang Zheng to take good care of it, and Wang Zheng nodded before retiring.
Walking on the road, Chu Yichuan kept staring at Wang Zheng, and there was something he wanted to say.
Wang Zai blurted out: "Even if he is this rune paper, he can't see any clues. β
Chu Yichuan was relieved.
"If I could, this rune paper could kill him. Wang Zheng suddenly said coldly.
Chu Yichuan looked at his senior brother and was a little scared.
The master of the two of them is a decent monk, it can be said that he is a bad cultivator.
Every day, he didn't teach them those spells, but just gave them how to use the aura, and every certain time he would find a lot of innocent people and let his apprentices practice the aura, that is, let them kill all those people.
Over time, when they had almost mastered their aura, he would go to some cultivators who could use aura, and then let them kill each other until the final victory was decided.
Chu Yichuan's personality also became irritable because of this, once he fought with others, he would be uncontrollably violent, and in the aura he taught them, there was something that inspired people's primitive beastliness, in his words, it could make people stronger.
Many times when Chu Yichuan lost his mind and became more and more violent, it was Wang Zheng who rescued him, so Chu Yichuan has always respected Wang Zheng very much.
When Wang Zai returned here, he also told Chu Yichuan that he had a way to get rid of their master, but he had to wait, until the people of the Chu family arrived.
Chu Yichuan knew that his senior brother wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.
For the Chu family, he doesn't have much affection, on the contrary, he resents the Chu family a little, you know, Chu Yichuan can be regarded as an illegitimate child, this is still a good saying. Those foul words that don't sound good, that's some wild seeds and the like.
And the people who said these words, the people who looked down on him were the monks of the Chu family who he invited to his wedding again.
When Chu Yichuan was a child, his father left him, and his mother was killed by the family, and he has always been haunted by this matter.
"Senior brother, do you want them to fight each other?" Chu Yichuan asked.
Wang Zai nodded and said with a smile: "Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." β
"However, there are too many uncertainties, how can we be implicated. Chu Yichuan was worried, he was not timid.
Wang Zai shook his head, still smiling: "No, they can't do it yet." β
Since the people I respect the most have said this, what else do I have to worry about?
After a while, Wang Zheng suddenly asked, "What do you think of your fiancΓ©e?"
Chu Yichuan was a little embarrassed, and replied a little vaguely: "I, I think that young lady is okay, very good-looking." β
"That's it?"
"People should be fine. Chu Yichuan thought about it, but he really didn't know what to say.
"Of course you're good-looking, and you're good-looking. β
"Then I can't really think of anything. β
Wang Zai patted his junior brother on the shoulder and said slowly: "Xue Qing is my sister, if the two of you are together, you have to be nice to her." β
Chu Yichuan nodded inexplicably, at a loss.
Xu Jiayong told his wife that he was going to go out with Liu Ye for a while, at least ten days, at most one or two years, and he didn't say what he was going to do.
The woman felt that her man didn't have much ability to make a few scallion pancakes except for the family, so what could he do when he went out?
Liu Ye stood outside the gate of their courtyard, silently waiting for his master.
The woman cleaned up her clothes and cleaned up for a long time, always feeling that something was missing, "After you went out with Ye'er, you have to protect him inside and out, you don't know that you are a master, Ye'er didn't have a father or mother when she was a child, and you have to take good care of some places." β
Xu Jiayong smiled innocently and nodded slightly.
The woman took out a bracelet from a closet and touched it, and the man knew that it was her mother's belongings, not worth a few dollars, but it meant a lot to her.
Xu Jiayong hugged his daughter and stood up, "Ye'er doesn't care about this. β
The woman hurriedly handed the bracelet into the man's hand and scolded softly: "You don't understand, I'm his master, I have to give something, although this is not valuable, but it can be regarded as a little heart." β
The woman thought about it and wanted to take it back, and felt that the more she looked at it, the more she could not put it on the table.
The first gift should be something good.
Xu Jiayong took the bracelet out of the woman's hand and said softly, "Ye'er will definitely be very happy." β
"I'll buy you a piece of jade when I get back. β
The woman laughed and slapped him, saying that he was wasting money.
"Yuanyuan, Dad is going out to do something, you have to listen to your mother at home, and when Dad comes back, he will take you out to play every day. β
"By the way, can you bring some tea leaves? The kind of tea you like to drink is probably only grown in our family, and you can't drink it when you go out." The woman asked.
The man thought a little, and finally put a little in the jar.
When everything was ready, the man waved to the woman and the child, signaling that there was no need to send it again.
The woman sent him to the door anyway before leaving, but as soon as she had entered the house, she walked out quickly.
Outside the door, not far away, two men of the same height walked together.
Many years ago, I also came here like this, but at that time, one tall and one short, walked towards home.
The woman was a little distracted, a little sentimental, and comforted herself, but it was not long before the two of them returned, and then she persuaded her man to accompany her and her daughter on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and she also hoped that Liu Ye would go with them.
After leaving here and entering the mountain, Xu Jiayong took out the bracelet and told Liu Ye that it was given to him by his master.
Liu Ye took it in his hand without looking at it, "I have to thank my sister for going back." β
The man smiled and did not speak.
In the evening, the two came to a post house and ordered a few dishes casually.
Liu Ye asked, "Don't you drink?"
Xu Jiayong smiled bitterly: "I quit, I haven't touched it for many years." β
"I remember that my master used to say that you can't quit drinking for the rest of your life. Liu Ye said.
The man thought about the past and sighed: "I can't do it for a lifetime." β
Xu Jiayong remembered something, he took out a small jar of tea and poured a little into the cups of the two, and asked the guys in the store to come with some hot water and let Liu Ye taste his own tea.
To be honest, Liu Ye doesn't like to drink tea very much, tea is very bitter, and he doesn't like bitterness.
Xu Jiayong took a small sip slowly, yes, he hadn't drunk many years ago.
Decades ago, a good friend of his once told him that it was good to drink alcohol, but he could taste a little tea, saying that it was very effective for cultivating the mind.
At that time, there were many men with hot blood, where to drink such bitter tea, just shook their heads and rejected their friends.
His friend just smiled, drank tea to himself, and said to himself: "How many things in the world are unsatisfactory, drunk and dreaming of life." β
"Good wine is intoxicating, and good tea is bitter. β
