Chapter 279: Warning
Ye Fan, who was hit by the Seven Rings, no longer had any interest in exploring Buddhism with him, and after patting the Red Fire Monkey on the shoulder, he took the lead and flew in the direction of the inn!
Two people and one monkey, both are above the realm of refining, even if they don't have the means to fly with the imperial weapon, but enjoy the scenery along the way while hurrying, it only took less than half an hour to return to an inn!
Although more than nine months have passed, there is an inn that does not look much different from before, it is still just a small inn with two entrances, and the guest rooms are only two floors, and even the rugged mountain road looks not much different from an ordinary mountain inn!
But to say that nothing has changed, then it is not. At least at this time, the traffic of the inn is much more than when it was first established, although it is not yet full of people, but there is an endless stream of merchants in the past, and there are even people in the front yard who have set up tents to spend the night!
Now in the city of Chuiyun passing by the business travel, once missed the time to enter the city, will come here to spend a night, although the accommodation is a little more expensive, but compared to their own security, it is obviously cheap!
Nowadays, there is an inn with five innate masters, among which Wu Yunpeng and Butcher Zuo Zhengyan have already entered the late stage of soul condensation. With the strength of an inn at this time, within three hundred miles of the vicinity of Chuiyun City, it can also be regarded as one of the best forces, as long as there is no master after the refining realm, just relying on those mountain bandits who want to kill people here, it is basically a fate with no return!
Although it was only a temporary stop, but when he returned here after a gap of more than nine months, Ye Fan's heart still couldn't help but feel like going home, especially since Ye Fan had been surviving in the extreme environment of the secret realm in the center of the earth for more than nine months, so the feeling became more and more intense at this time!
As soon as Ye Fan and the others stepped into the inn, Zhang Xia, who was refilling tea for the guests, found Ye Fan wearing a mask on his face, and under the delight, the tea that was refilling the tea couldn't help but flow out, splashing along the table and splashing the guests next to him. However, at this time, Zhang Xia didn't care if the guests would be angry, and put the teapot in her hand on the table, so she quickly came to Ye Fan's side, with both hands one straight and one backward, crossed on her waist, and gave Ye Fan a half-squat etiquette!
And the stout man who was splashed with tea and wet his clothes just shook his head as unlucky, although he would inevitably have some anger in his heart, but he could only swallow it in his stomach! Since the establishment of an inn, it has been more than a year now, and a man like a strong man has naturally been familiar with the rules here, so he naturally will not really treat Zhang Xia and them as ordinary shopkeepers!
"Childe, you're back!"
Zhang Xia's voice was crisp and vivid, listening to it like a lark singing. At this time, Ye Fan's face couldn't help but show a smile: "Get up, let's not do this here! How are you doing recently, there's nothing wrong with the inn, right?"
Compared with the timid Xiao Cui, Zhang Xia's personality is undoubtedly more likable, after hearing Ye Fan's instructions, he stood up, with an exaggerated and unpretentious smile on his face, and said: "Isn't this Gongzi, you just came back, and people are happy!"
Saying that, Zhang Xia stood up, pulled on Ye Fan's arm, and pinched it lightly and heavily, as if she was teasing her own son!
Ye Fan's heart moved, Zhang Xia's actions just now seemed a little excessive, although he didn't talk about any rules for treating them, but he was not so casual as to let them do something to him, and this was also inconsistent with Zhang Xia's previous temperament! More importantly, Zhang Xia didn't answer her question just now, although these small mistakes seemed insignificant, they were definitely not the mistakes that a qualified slave would make, and Zhang Xia was definitely a qualified maid!
Although doubts arose in his heart, Ye Fan's face was silent, but the smile on his face dissipated slightly, and he ordered: "Go and prepare some food for us, Childe, I'm a little hungry now!"
Seeing Ye Fan sitting down by himself, the smile on Zhang Xia's face couldn't help but feel anxious, and the corner of his eye glanced at the counter, and after finding that the shopkeeper had not returned, he continued: "Son, you haven't returned for a long time, everyone misses you very much, there are many people here, you might as well go to the backyard to eat with the distinguished guests, that is, be cleaner, so that everyone can meet you, Childe!"
Ye Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhang Xia's words were even more excessive, as the master, he came back after being away from home for many days, not to mention letting those subordinates come up to greet him, but also letting himself go to see them, this is really unspeakable!
Although Ye Fan found something abnormal, he didn't pay much attention to it, still sat in the lobby, waved his hand and ordered: "It's good here, you don't need to go to the backyard, you can go and prepare a meal!" By the way, prepare a pot of dog meat for this master, and two pots of spirits!"
Seeing that her son-in-law ignored her gestures, Zhang Xia's heart was a lot more settled, she wouldn't think that her son-in-law couldn't see the meaning of what she just said!
first smiled apologetically at the seven-ring monk who was following Ye Fan, and then bowed to Ye Fan and replied, "Yes, childe!"
The two of them sat down on three sides, Ye Fan was sitting in front of the backyard, while the Qijie monk and the Red Fire Monkey were sitting on both sides of him on the left and right, vacating the position opposite Ye Fan!
There was a pot of tea on the table, and I don't know who left it, it was already cold at this time, but Ye Fan didn't care, took out three teacups from the upside-down tea tray, and after rinsing them with herbal tea, he poured a cup for each of the three of them!
The red fire monkey has just come out of the inner world, and naturally has never seen such things as teacups and teapots, but as a monkey demon that has opened its wisdom, its IQ is not bad at all, at this time, learning from the appearance of other guests around it, it drank it in a decent way, but judging from its grinning appearance, it doesn't seem to like the taste of this herbal tea very much!
Compared with the red fire monkey, Qijie looks much better when eating tea. Although he is also a fledgling and has just come out of Shuiyue Nunnery, he is no stranger to tea as a quiet thing!
The four fingers of the left hand are held at the bottom of the teacup, the right hand is held in a virtual position, the tea cup is protected in front of the body, the body leans forward slightly, and a cup of tea is swallowed into the abdomen in three times.
After tasting the tea, Qijie's brows couldn't help frowning slightly: "Your tea, it's really not good!"
Looking at Qijie's slightly furrowed brows, Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh and said, "This tea is not meant to be tasted, who are you blaming for?"
Qijie raised his eyebrows and argued: "Tea is originally a thing of meditation and clarity, if you don't taste it carefully, how can you experience the artistic conception of it?"
As you said, most of the tea in this world is for people to taste, and this part, as you said, can only be found to be beautiful and delicious only by tasting it quietly!
"Drinking tea, is that different from drinking tea?"
"Goo, goo!"
Ye Fan first drank all the herbal tea in front of him, and after pouring a new cup, he replied: "Actually, there is no difference, whether it is drinking tea or tasting tea, in the end, you have to pour tea into your stomach!
After a pause, Ye Fan continued: "However, if you want to talk about the difference, it is not nothing! Just like this tea, chewing and swallowing slowly is only suitable for a monk like you to taste little by little. And this big bowl of tea is suitable for me to enjoy!"
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Qijie's face showed a thoughtful expression, looked at the direction where Zhang Xia had just left, and said, "Is this the reason why you just knew that she was hinting at you, but you didn't pay attention to it?"
Ye Fan raised the teacup in his hand, looked ahead with a slightly confused gaze, and then shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with this! The reason why I ignored her hint was just because there was no need for that!"
Now that I have stepped into the away battle, then I must come in the end, and with or without her warning, the result will not change much!
Xiao Shami nodded, and while turning the Buddha beads in his hand, he said, "It seems that you have sensed it, so do you need my help?"
Ye Fan retracted the gaze in his eyes and put down the teacup in his hand: "I haven't noticed it yet, but now I have sensed it, he seems to be interested in me!"
"Do you need my help, you don't seem to be his opponent yet!" Qijie repeated the old words, and there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes!
Ye Fan nodded in agreement, and asked curiously, "I admit that I am not his opponent! But you seem to be a little bit behind, right?"
In response to Ye Fan's questioning, Qijie nodded frankly and admitted: "The little monk is good at Buddhism, not good at fighting!"
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth twitched, and he said as if mockingly: "Your good fate is really cheap enough!"
As he spoke, Ye Fan patted the body of the red fire monkey beside him twice, soothing its increasingly irritable emotions, as a desolate beast that grew up in the inner world, the red fire monkey's perception of danger was even higher than Ye Fan's, and naturally he also felt the terrifying aura in the inn!
