Chapter 149: Plum Garden Talk
The breeze blows, bringing up pieces of crimson petals, splashing and sprinkling, flying out of the courtyard wall, mixed with bursts of rich floral fragrance, tempting, just seven or eight breaths of time, a radius of forty or fifty zhang is like a rain of flowers, on the path, on the top of the pavilion, on the corridor, on the spring water, every inch of space has the shadow of petals.
A petal the size of a fingernail fell in front of his eyes, fluttering, like a pink elf, dancing and cleansing the world, and it did not fall to the ground and stained with filth, but was caught, caught by an equally seductive palm. "It's beautiful. Qiudian put the petals in front of his eyes and couldn't help but praise.
"I didn't think you still had this hobby, planting a piece of Merlin at home, and you are really a wonderful person. Zhang Zheng chuckled, poked out two fingers, just caught a delicate plum blossom, he sniffed, and the fragrance lingered.
Now that the cold winter is over, the spring is in full bloom in March, and you can still see a blooming plum forest, which is worth the trip.
"Take it. With a flick of his fingers, the plum blossoms fell into Qiudian's palm, which was the corresponding human flower and complemented each other.
......
"Haha, Mr. is also a wonderful person. Qingfengzi laughed, with a little pride in his eyes, he not only loves bamboo, but also loves plum, this will be the golden house to hide Jiao, plant Merlin, never thought that he met a bosom friend today. He took the lead in crossing the stone gate, but said with emotion: "I thought that Mr. Hongguan was just a master of martial arts, but when I saw it today, I realized that I was sitting in the well and watching the sky. ”
Zhang Zheng chuckled lightly, did not speak, and began to look at the scenery of the plum garden.
The width is not more than seven zhang, the length is not more than ten zhang, there are seven or eight plum trees that bloom, the branches are thick, all are some years, the branches are full of pink flowers at this moment, there is no green leaf at all, and even the air is fragrant.
The most conspicuous thing is the location of these seven or eight old plum trees, with a small stone table in the middle, and four stone benches, the table top is covered with flower petals, and there are two wild grasses growing at the foot of the table.
"Miao Miao Seconds" spit out three wonderful words from his mouth, Zhang Zheng had to admit that in terms of mood, this Taoist priest walked in front of him, here is secretly Zhou Yi, living in the gossip, invisibly connected into a kind of formation, eight plum trees are the roots of the formation, and this stone table, I am afraid that it is where the eye of the formation is, but I don't know if this formation is launched, used as a trapped formation or a killing array, he doesn't know much, he can only see some approximately, I'm afraid only Qingfengzi himself knows.
"How about you change your name to Sanmiao Zhenren?" he quipped.
"What's the wonder?" Qingfengzi turned around, made a salute with both hands, and asked with a smile.
"Don't say it, don't say it. He smiled and said, "It's wonderful." ”
"Haha"
"Haha"
looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, and Qiudian beside her was annoyed, and it was not easy to attack, she listened to the clouds and fog, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to give him a white look.
"Follow me. Zhang Zheng whispered in his ear, and then followed behind Qingfengzi, swaying from side to side, one step big, one step small, or left or right, it was weird, although Qiudian didn't know the reason, but he also followed the same pace, the plum blossoms fell on the head, the powder was shy, so there was no other flavor.
"This is a strange technique, don't stay three feet away from me. His lips didn't move, but he used the method of transmitting sound into the secret, which sounded in Qiudian's ears, and with his reminder, Qiudian secretly became vigilant, holding his arm with one hand, not daring to let go.
"You may be seated. Qingfengzi waved his long sleeves, the stone table and stone bench were caressed by the breeze, and it was suddenly empty, he sat on the stone bench at the top, and Zhang Zheng and Qiudian sat on the stone bench on the left and the bottom.
"Serving Tea"
The Taoist priest shouted loudly, and after a while, two Mai disciples of the Sword Pavilion came in from the stone gate with a set of tea sets, walked through the peach blossom road, and put the tea sets on the stone table.
A delicate crape myrtle teapot is still steaming
Three white porcelain teacups, with a few tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, pale cyan, the length of a finger.
The two disciples did not stop and immediately left the plum garden.
......
Qingfengzi lifted the teapot with a smile, put his left hand on the surface, and after a few breaths, the pot water "gurgling", and the white hot air was churning, rushing out of the spout.
The water happens to be boiling
The Taoist priest's inconspicuous action is difficult to make without deep internal force and profound realm.
Without seeing him make any moves, the three teacups flew out and landed in front of them, and Qingfengzi lifted the teapot and filled it with boiling water in turn.
"Good tea. Zhang Zheng lowered his eyebrows, the tip of his nose swept through the rising heat, his face was intoxicated, fragrant but not strong, clear but not depressed, just smell the smell to know that these two inconspicuous tea leaves are not ordinary goods.
"This is my special plum tea, although it is good now, but there is still one thing missing. Qingfengzi said mysteriously.
"What is it?" Qiudian asked curiously.
......
The Taoist priest smiled but did not speak.
He lifted the teacup, took a sip gently, his brows furrowed and soothed, after a moment he put down the teacup, and said softly: "The entrance is fragrant but astringent, clear but bitter, barely can be regarded as good tea, but my museum master is not like a person who loves to endure hardships, if plum tea is nothing more than that, I am afraid that it will not be able to enter your eyes." ”
Qingfengzi smiled and nodded.
Zhang Zheng paused, and then said to himself: "This tea seems to be unreal, but in fact, it inserts a long bone, enters the fragrance to remove astringency, melts and dissolves bitterness, just like the prescription of the medicine stone, it wants to come back to life, and what is missing is just one of the main medicines." ”
"Then what is this main medicine?" Qiudian said angrily.
......
"Far away, close at hand. He reached out, grabbed three pink plum petals in the air with two fingers, and flicked his fingers, and there was a petal in a cup of tea.
Plum blossoms into the tea, fragrant wafting all over the garden.
The effect of the medicine stone brings the dead back to life.
The entrance of plum tea is another taste, the aroma is condensed but not dispersed, and the astringency is completely absent, like a ball of fresh air sliding through the throat, without any stagnation, and finally blending into the breath of the whole body.
"Absolutely"
The Taoist priest clapped his hands and laughed, but he blamed: "Cow chewing peony, how rare is my plum tea a year, and I feel distressed by the Taoist priest you drink in one gulp." ”
"It doesn't matter. He chuckled and said, "No matter how you taste a cup of tea, it won't change the final outcome, so why bother pursuing some elegance." ”
Qiudian on the side muttered quietly: "A man who doesn't understand amorous feelings, vulgar, rude, and barbaric." ”
Zhang Zheng glared at her angrily.
Qingfengzi was flustered, as if she was savoring the meaning of this sentence, and after a while, she patted her forehead and said, "It's me who looks at it." ”
......
"When you have time to come to the Red Flower Pavilion, I will give you a cup of good tea that is not bad. He smiled and didn't mind, just quietly sipping tea and admiring the rare plum scene.
Proud of the snow and cold, one of the best, the iron bones, the fragrance comes from the snow path.
Zhang Zheng also loves plum blossoms, but in the past few years there were few opportunities to appreciate the snow plums, and today coincides with the opportunity, which is also a beautiful thing.
......
Qiudian was absent-minded, skimming his side face from time to time.
......
Qingfengzi is at ease, his eyes are empty, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
silent
But it didn't last long
It should only be a cup of tea
The water in the teacup in front of him was empty.
It was at this time that the Taoist priest spoke.
"Kill Li Qiankun, Tianxue City is in chaos, have you thought about how to solve these troubles?"
"Isn't this something that the southern royal family should consider?" Zhang Zheng raised his eyebrows, not careless. Qingfengzi's eyes widened, and he suddenly asked, "You don't know?"
"What do you know?" he looked at Qiudian, and she explained, "Of the thirty-six great cities in the South, only twenty-four belong to the royal family of the South, and the lords of the remaining twelve cities are martial artists.
Heavenly Snow City is one of the twelve great cities.
Twenty years ago, Li Qiankun became the city lord precisely because his martial arts were unrivaled in Tianxue City. ”
"Ahem...... I thought the lord of the castle was appointed directly by the royal family. Zhang Zheng said embarrassedly.
"There is not only one royal family in the southern country, but the other major forces should not be underestimated, but the strength of the royal family alone is not enough to crush the warriors of the rivers and lakes. Qingfengzi said leisurely: "If it weren't for this reason, why would you still stay until now?"
"You killed Li Qiankun and caused the current situation in Heavenly Snow City, and only you can calm this turmoil. ”
......
"You want me to be the lord of the city?" he frowned.
"It's not that I let you be the city, but the people of the entire Heavenly Snow City let you be the city lord. Qing Fengzi sighed and said: "Tianxue City is adjacent to the Demon Beast Mountain, it is the only big city within a radius of thousands of miles, and it is also the most dangerous city in the south, facing the impact of countless demon beasts, and it is even more necessary to face the terrifying beast tide.
What we need is a strong city lord to defend the city and suppress the northern border of the southern country, if the Heavenly Snow City is lost, the big demon in the Demon Beast Mountain will be able to drive straight in, and the consequences are unimaginable.
You are stronger than Li Qiankun, except for you, no one in Heavenly Snow City is qualified to ascend to the position of city lord. ”
......
After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and asked, "Since Heavenly Snow City is so important, why did the Southern Imperial Family still release it instead of choosing to send people to garrison it themselves. ”
"I don't know. Qingfengzi's expression was gloomy.
Not only Qingfengzi didn't know, but even Li Qiankun didn't know, too many people had asked this question, but they had never gotten an answer, and the royal family of the southern kingdom still went their own way, and it seemed that they didn't take Tianxue City to heart at all.
"Right now, the forbidden army is divided, many people are staring at Heavenly Snow City, the form is not optimistic, you must ascend to the position of city lord as soon as possible, and use thunder means to calm the situation. ”
"Besides, the position of this city lord was originally owned by the Red Flower Pavilion, and you can be regarded as taking back what belongs to you. Qingfengzi's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring directly at Qiudian, who had lost his mind.
"I'm right, Chen Qiudian. ”
