Chapter 705: The Old Man Behind the Jujube Gate
Linlang Pavilion, whether it is the architectural style or the layout is very different from any place, the dome and white walls, everywhere sparkling, it seems that the people here have a persistent preference for gemstones, and there is really a kind of illusion of dazzling.
Xiao Feng followed the young man who called himself Qiao Zhenxin, whom he accidentally met in the dungeon, through a long corridor with a golden carpet, and soon entered a room with a maroon door.
The interior of the room is also different from the elegant and simple outside, the wall is nailed with some portraits of people and landscapes, colorful, blue and gold curtains are hung high to the roof, and the roof is also decorated with some colorful ribbons and flowers, the whole room looks vivid and romantic.
In the room, an old man in blue clothes sat at a white round table, wearing a crown adorned with blue gemstones, and was flipping through a book in front of a pair of glasses.
It's like entering another world, and the whole space is filled with a strange and warm atmosphere.
When the old man heard the movement, he put down the glass piece, raised his head and smiled, "It's here." ”
He put down his book, stood up, nodded at the three young people, and bowed to Xiao Feng, "Little friend." ”
"Seniors. Although Xiao Feng couldn't say the weirdness in his heart, his face remained calm and indifferent, and he bowed.
The old man smiled and nodded, beckoning a few people to sit down, "What do you think of here?"
"It's a novelty. Xiao Feng said honestly.
The old man smiled a little more happily, and said with some pride, "Everything here is arranged according to memory, in order to build this place, it took me a hundred years to gather the materials, and the construction took decades, and it was already two hundred years old until I moved in, and I never went out again." I dare say that there is no other place in this world that is as beautiful as mine. ”
Xiao Feng smiled but said nothing.
"Oh, the guests are coming, and they want to drink first. The old man seemed to think of this, patted his head, smiled and said, "Little friend, wait a little." ”
He got up and stepped into the curtain.
Qiao Zhenxin got up and said, "It's been a long time since there have been guests here, and it's hard to come here, Master is a little happier, and the proportions will be a little messy, I'll help." ”
Xiao Feng nodded, signaling understanding.
Qiao Zhenxin smiled and trotted over.
Zhang Ran saw that the two of them were gone, so he leaned his head over and whispered, "This old-timer always likes to tinker with some strange things, you can drink it if you want to, and you don't have to force yourself if you don't want to drink, he doesn't care." ”
"You come here often?" Xiao Feng asked, looking around.
Zhang Ran shook his head, "I've only been here three times." ”
"Oh. Xiao Feng answered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Don't fool around here, this old-timer is even polite to the pavilion master. As soon as Zhang Ran saw Xiao Feng smiling like this, his heart was furious, and he hurriedly reminded him.
Xiao Feng glanced at him and didn't care.
Zhang Ran wanted to cry a little.
This bastard, relying on his own ability, does whatever he wants, it's too hateful.
After a while, the old man walked back with his hands in his hands, and Qiao Zhenxin followed him, holding a tray in his hand, on which were placed five transparent glass cups and a small porcelain bowl.
The old man put the four glasses filled with brown liquid in front of a few young people, left the glass of green liquid for himself, and said with a smile, "Drink tea outside, here I drink something I think about directly, if you don't like it, it's fine, just feel free." ”
Xiao Feng put the cup in front of his nose and sniffed it, it was very fragrant, and he took a sip, it was really bitter.
He stuck out his tongue, put the cup down again, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Tea with pistach beans ground into powder. The old man drank the green liquid in his cup and replied, "Happy beans are brown beans that can make people excited and happy when eaten, but you can't eat too much, because eating too much will be addictive and difficult to quit." ”
Zhang Ran originally wanted to taste it, but when he heard the words, he hurriedly stayed away.
Xiao Feng didn't interrupt and waited for the following.
The old man continued, "But it doesn't matter if you eat less of this kind of bean, it can refresh your mind and relax your mind, the key is that it tastes good, if you don't believe it, you can put some sugar and try it." ”
Xiao Feng did as he said, tasted it again, and it was indeed not as bitter as before, so he put some sugar and drank it symbolically.
The old man was very happy, "Why, I didn't lie to you." ”
Xiao Feng smiled and didn't speak.
The old man smiled, "There is still a countryside behind here, if you are interested, you might as well let Zhenxin take you around later." ”
"Thank you. Xiao Feng nodded.
The old man drank all the liquid in the cup, picked up the book again, turned two pages, looked up and asked, "When will Xiaoyou leave?"
Xiao Feng thought for a while, and was delayed in the dungeon for nearly an hour, the time should be almost up, and said calmly, "The junior is just in time for the auction, so he is ready to leave." ”
"It's so urgent. The old man was a little regretful, "Then I'll make a long story short, don't destroy Linlang City for me, you can do anything else." ”
Xiao Feng was not flustered, and said calmly, "The younger generation is not an unreasonable person. ”
The old man nodded, "Then I have time to play, I'm fine here, I'm bored and panicked." ”
Xiao Feng got up and said, "The junior retires. ”
Zhang Ran blinked, also stood up and said, "That, senior, I was with him, and it was time to go." ”
Luo Lixi also stood up, but didn't speak.
The old man waved his hand, "Let's go." ”
Qiao Zhenxin glanced at the old man.
Xiao Feng took the first step and said, "Let's both stay and leave." ”
He smiled politely and went out of the room.
The two men also chased after them.
Qiao Zhenxin looked at the old man again.
"It's not unscrupulous, just do what you want. The old man turned back to his desk, picked up the book, and began to read it.
Qiao Zhenxin finished cleaning up the table before leaving.
......
The three of them walked out of the room with the red door, and Zhang Ran took Xiao Feng around several corridors before arriving at the auction venue.
The front of the venue was deserted, with only two guards standing at the door.
Xiao Feng didn't have an invitation, and he didn't have any money, so if he wanted to go in, he could only look at Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran was very reluctant, but he was even more afraid that Xiao Feng would really break in, after all, where this person wanted to go, there were few people who could stop him, so he could only lead Xiao Feng in from the back door.
Please come in such a living ancestor, he has no other way than to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, who let him run over by himself.
In the venue, the auction had begun, and a graceful woman on the stage was crying like a warbler, but unfortunately the three of them were not interested in listening to what she had to say, so they found an empty seat in the corner and sat down.
Xiao Feng leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
He's only interested in the Blood Drinking Sword, so he's not interested in it right now.
Zhang Ran was not interested in the whole auction, but he had to sit here.
brought in a little ancestor, and he was really afraid of piercing the sky in the blink of an eye.
Oh, what a wreath he is.
The more Zhang Ran thought about it, the more depressed he became, and finally turned his head angrily, "Xiao Luo, if you kick me, I'm not happy." ”
Luo Lixi turned her head to the side with an expressionless face.
Zhang Ran blinked, "Then I'll kick you?"
He really kicked it.
Luo Lixi glanced at him faintly and stepped on it hard.
Zhang Ran sighed and covered his mouth violently.
