Chapter 49: An Epistle
Zuo Tianyou didn't expect that on such a day when the wind was roaring, business would be so good, not long after welcoming a group of people to the door just now, two more came to the door, so he had to leave the man in black first and go over to welcome the guests.
The two people who came were dressed ordinarily, they were all blue satin robes covered with dark blue plain silk cranes, not luxurious or cold, the only special thing was that one of them wore a small jade mask, it was this person who sneered at the door that he came late.
Zuo Tianyou looked at the man's mask and felt a little familiar, but for a while, the room was chaotic and he couldn't remember where he had seen it, plus he had been running outside for a day today, and he had seen countless monks wearing large and small masks on the road, Zuo Tianyou felt that there were too many pictures in his mind and he couldn't remember anything.
"The two guest officers are looking for someone to eat, it's not too late to come to our inn at this point, it's just the right time for you to look at a room of guests." Zuo Tianyou rushed to the front and replied with a smile.
The man wearing the mask looked very young, but the lines on his face were cold and stiff, and at a glance he knew that he was not a particularly good master, but the person next to him looked older, smiled, and said very gently: "We did have an appointment, but I didn't expect so many people to come here, so my junior brother sighed a little." ”
Zuo Tianyou looked back at the group of people sitting and the big man who bowed his head and ate violently, as if no one looked up and cared about the two people who came in, and muttered in his heart, they had an appointment, and complained that they were late, where was the person they had an appointment?
Although Zuo Tianyou was full of suspicion, he was not easy to interrogate the guests, so he had to lead the two people to the lobby, picked a table far away from the group of black-clothed people, arranged for the two of them to sit down, and asked: "The two guest officers are only afraid that the people they are not in the store, right? Why don't you serve tea first, and the two of you moisten your throat?"
The masked face was expressionless, still too lazy to take care of you, or the older man next to him smiled and nodded: "You guy is thoughtful, let's serve tea first." After speaking, he glanced at the teacups on the other tables, and then asked, "Do you only have black grass tea in your store? ”
Zuo Tianyou desperately searched for memories of the past, and vaguely remembered that someone had ordered this tea in the store, but he didn't know if he could make it now, so he said with a smile: "The guest has a unique taste, I'll go to the back kitchen and ask, if there is one, I will make it for the two of you immediately." ”
Now Zuo Tianyou has also learned, the guests' hobbies are varied, you just really think it's very strange, and you can't marvel at will, it's easy to cause the disgust of the guests, and in the end it makes it difficult to serve, rather than that, it's better to praise their taste first, and then say that things are difficult to do, so there will be a lot less trouble and trouble.
Sure enough, Zuo Tianyou's small admiration softened the mask-wearing face a lot, stared at Zuo Tianyou with interest, and said slowly: "This is tea money, we want the best room." As he spoke, he took out a piece of spirit crystal and threw it on the table.
Zuo Tianyou saw that the spirit crystal was on par with the spirit crystal in his own space, and felt that these two people were really very tyrants, thinking that one spirit crystal for two bowls of tea and a few nights in the third-floor guest room, is it a bit of a loss, this mask is a show that he is rich, or is he stupid and doesn't know the market.
In fact, Zuo Tianyou was most annoyed by people setting up scores, but he felt that it was not good to take advantage of people like this, so he pointed to the spirit crystal and said: "Two bowls of tea, a few nights' accommodation, it doesn't take so much." The two of you can think about what to eat, there is a water card over there, just order. After speaking, he put away the spirit crystal and walked to the back kitchen.
Lao Wu was holding a big spoon at this time stirring tiger meat back and forth in the pot, the white steam filled the whole kitchen, the taste of tiger meat was much stronger than the tiger's heart, Zuo Tianyou actually smelled some meat fragrance, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so fragrant! Lao Wu, your craftsmanship is not bad." ”
Lao Wu turned around and saw Zuo Tianyou coming, and asked, "What did you order earlier?"
"What kind of ice lotus spirit fruit brewing, is it easy to make? Two people came, and they ordered such a strange tea to drink. Zuo Tianyou asked.
"Yes, both the Ice Lotus and the Spirit Fruit are ready-made. This guest likes sweetness, this tea is very sweet, most nuns like it, and few monks are willing to drink it. Lao Wu replied.
Zuo Tianyou smiled helplessly: "People are weird, and the taste is also weird." ”
The one who wore the mask made Zuo Tianyou feel that something was wrong, and he couldn't tell if it was strange or something else, anyway, it looked a little uncomfortable.
Two people were thinking about it outside, when they suddenly heard a call from the backyard: "Is there anyone?
Zuo Tianyou and Lao Wu glanced at each other, thinking to themselves who would come to the backyard to find someone at this time? The door in the backyard had been bolted, could it be a guest in the lobby?
Zuo Tianyou came to the courtyard with a stomach full of questions, and saw that it was none other than the two weirdos who had ordered sweet tea just now, and there was a slight smile on his masked face, and he said quietly: "Are you Zuo Tianyou?"
Zuo Tianyou was completely blinded, thinking to himself how he knew my name, and if he cultivated to a certain extent, could he still count other people's names?
"Yes, I'm Zuo Tianyou. What is the guest looking for me, and how do you know my name?"
"I have a letter from your friend here, and I have it with you. The masked man said as he pulled out a letter from his bosom and handed it over.
Zuo Tianyou didn't expect that someone would write a letter to him and claim to be his friend, the weirdness of this thing was no less than the person in front of him knowing his name.
Regardless of whether anyone was in front of him, Zuo Tianyou couldn't wait to open the envelope, thinking to himself who would write to me?
When I opened it, I saw two lines of words written crookedly on a piece of letterhead: Everything is fine on Taichu Island!
I rubbed it! It was his letter. So these two people in front of me are from the same sect as Chubby? This kid has made a lot of progress, and he knows how to write to me to report his safety!
For a while, Zuo Tianyou's heart turned upside down, and his nose was slightly sour.
After stabilizing his emotions, Zuo Tianyou remembered to hug his fists and thank you: "Thank you two for bringing me the letter, the hospitality just now was not good, please Haihan!"
The older man laughed and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about, we also have something to come, by the way, help the little junior brother bring a letter, you don't have to worry." ”
The masked man also smiled slightly: "Your friend and I worship under my master's door, he is very favored by my master." ”
Zuo Tianyou didn't know why he always felt that this mask-wearing old and sour talker, as if he was eating Zhang Xiaopang's vinegar, he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it out on his face.
"I don't know the names of the two honorific names, so it's okay to call them next time I have a chance. Zuo Tianyou hurriedly asked.
The older one replied, "You're welcome. You can call me Xiuyuan, this is my junior brother, Xiujie, and also your friend's senior brother. ”
"I don't know if my friend went to Taichu Island and changed his laziness to do it, and his injury was not good when he left. Zuo Tianyou was still worried about Zhang Xiaopang's injury, and couldn't help asking.
Xiu Jie said with a smile: "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. It's delicious or delicious, it's too lazy to dare, the master is keeping an eye on it, he can't help but cultivate well. However, he is much thinner now than he was when he came. ”
Zuo Tianyou was relieved when he heard this, and thought to himself that it was good to lose weight, how could there be a monk with a round belly like him. This shows that his master is well trained! He really voted for the right person!
"Is there anything important for those two of you to come to Qinghuan City this time?, why are you late to enter the door?" Zuo Tianyou suddenly remembered what the two of them said when they entered the door, and asked curiously.
Xiu Yuan and Xiu Jie looked at each other stunned, and Xiu Yuan said: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the Immortal Meeting, we originally thought that we had gone out a day early, but we didn't expect that there was already a room of people sitting in the lobby of your house, isn't it late?"
Zuo Tianyou still didn't understand Xiuyuan's words, and then asked: "Immortal Society? What Immortal Society?
Xiu Jie smiled a little disdainfully: "No one knows about such a big thing in the cultivation realm. You're too lonely to hear, aren't you? Speaking of this, he snorted coldly again, and said, "No wonder, a low-level monk like you is not qualified to participate at all, and it is useless to know!" After speaking, he turned around and walked away, and went back to the lobby.
Rub! This guy can't fly to the immortal in one step, and his tone is like this! Zhang Xiaopang is his junior brother, and it seems that it will be a matter of time before he is trampled to death! Just now he was happy for Xiaopang! It seems that the situation is not very optimistic.
Xiu Yuan knew that his junior brother's temper was arrogant and cold, and his words were easy to offend people, and he was afraid that his disrespectful words just now had already provoked Zuo Tianyou's displeasure. Thinking of leaving the island, Master Xiujie asked himself to take care of Xiujie, plus he would have to live in the Linxian Inn for the next few days, and he couldn't see anyone who looked up, so he was too embarrassed to stiffen, so he quickly remedied: "My junior brother was born with this temper, you must not care, he has a bad mouth and a soft heart, and you will know it after a long time." ”
Zuo Tianyou really wanted to kick that Xiu Jie, and felt that this person was very underwhelming, but this Xiu Yuan was humble and polite, and he was still a guest, plus they were all fat classmates, so he didn't want to lose his temper too much, so he pressed the anger and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." What your junior brother said is also right, I am a low-level monk, so it's normal that I don't know about this. ”
Xiu Yuan felt that Zuo Tianyou's words were not happy, and said with a smile: "This immortal meeting is held every three years, although the participants are all high-level monks, but if you have the opportunity to watch it, you can also benefit a lot. This fairy meeting will be held in your inn, and Brother Zuo has taken advantage of the time and place, but you have to watch and study carefully to not waste such an opportunity. ”
Zuo Tianyou saw that Xiu Yuan was saving face for himself, so he smiled with relief: "Brother Xiu Yuan is right, when the time comes, I want to take a good look, learn some advanced spells, and refine my cultivation." I don't know what stage of monks are participating in the immortal meeting this time?"
Xiu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "There are monks at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining, and there are also high-level monks who have entered the Jindan stage, if there is a competition, it should look abnormal." Brother Zuo will know when the time comes. ”
Zuo Tianyou was interested when he heard it, and he wanted to ask more, but he didn't want someone to come to the lobby again, there was a lot of commotion, and there was the neighing of horses, so he had to say hello to Xiuyuan and walked forward, and when he arrived at the lobby, he saw that in just a few words, there were already many monks uninvited, and a room full of people was crowded. Among them, there are even several female cultivators who are also involved, which is really lively!
Zuo Tianyou secretly said bitterly in his heart, there are so many people, this is the rhythm of tired and broken legs!
