Chapter 45: Three Pots of Tea

Xundi, located in the north of the Great Shu Kingdom, is very far away from the Shenyin Sect, the Mad Gang Sect, and the Donglin Sect.

For hundreds of years, Xundi has become a close forbidden area in the Great Shu Kingdom.

Since that horrific slaughter hundreds of years ago, Xundi has become inaccessible.

There were originally five cities in Xundi, the most central one was called Xunyang City, and it was in Xunyang City that 100,000 mortals were killed at the beginning, so Xunyang City was also called a ghost city.

The remaining four cities are set up around ghost towns, which have been abandoned for many years and are called the four desolate cities.

In these five cities, there is a resentment rising every once in a while, and you can even see white and blue firelight in the distance, but when you get close, there is nothing, which is quite weird.

Among them, the ghost town of Xundi is very strange and gloomy, and the ghosts condense into rain, which continues all year round, falling on the human body, making people feel demonic.

Therefore, the three major sects of the Great Shu Kingdom will send their disciples to Xundi to clear their grievances.

What these mortals or low-level spirits fear most is the existence of vigorous qi and blood, especially the spirits who have condensed into qi and blood patterns in their bodies, and they are basically scattered when they touch it.

For the resentful spirits, these energetic spirits are like a scorching magma furnace, and if they get closer, the spirit of the yin soul will be completely wiped out.

In the distance, two people walked from the southern mountain road.

It was the two brothers who had already walked out of the deep mountains in the south that Fang gradually left and Yan Xia.

The two of them have traveled all the way north to the deep mountains in the south since they left the Shenyin Sect that day, and they are still fifty miles away from Xundi today, and they have traveled for eight days.

At the speed of the two, eight days is really not a short time.

"Senior brother, did you say that you would meet the people of the other two sects this time?" Fang gradually swallowed a Bigu Pill and asked.

"Well, there is a possibility, but the elder has explained that if you meet a disciple of the Donglin Sect outside the sect, you should be courteous, and if it is the arrogant guy of the Crazy Gang Sect whose eyes are on the heavenly spirit cover, you don't need to pay attention to it. Yan Xia took out a map and looked at it, and said casually.

Fang gradually shook his head helplessly when he heard this, in the past few days of communication with Yan Xia, he also knew a lot of things from Yan Xia's mouth, including the relationship between the three major sects of the Great Shu Kingdom, the Shenyin Sect and the Donglin Sect are good friends, and the Crazy Gang Sect is the National Sect of the Great Shu Kingdom, so the relationship with the other two sects is very delicate, and the most important thing is that most of the disciples of the Crazy Gang Sect are arrogant, and even the disciples of the other two sects are not in their eyes.

"Go here. Fang gradually left his hand and pointed at it, the map had already been in his mind, in the "True Explanation of Cultivation", naturally it would not be wrong.

"How come you kid is so lucky that you can say it every time?" Yan Xia put away the map a little depressed and took the lead in that direction.

In the past few days, every time he needed to identify the direction, Fang Yuanli could always accurately identify the correct route, which made Yan Xia, who had to deliberately carry a map with him, felt very useless.

Fang gradually smiled indifferently and walked slowly behind Yan Xia.

Yan Xia's personality is certainly good, and Fang gradually found out about this a long time ago.

They are both people from the Invincible Sect, but Yan Xia and Wang Dazhuang are obviously two kinds of people.

It's just that like most Lingshi, Yan Xia seems to think that Lingshi mortals have racial superiority and inferiority, which can be clearly perceived in a few days of communication.

Even Senior Brother Yan Xia, who is quite kind to his senior brothers, has this kind of prejudice, let alone those monks who have eyes above the top?

Xundi slaughtered tens of thousands of cities, I am afraid that if the number is a little less and the impact is smaller, it is estimated that not many people will care about it.

The truth is often so cruel.

However, the more this is the case, the more firm and deep-rooted Fang gradually becomes.

......

Fifty miles was nothing to the footsteps of the two, and in just a moment, the two had already stopped and looked at a suddenly barren avenue in front of them.

The whole area is plain, and there are no ups and downs, so you can see straight into the distance.

"It's barren. Yan Xia looked at the endless weeds on both sides of the road and sighed.

At the beginning of this avenue, it is Xundi.

"Yes!" Fang gradually looked up at the sky, and felt that the daylight here seemed to be a little dim.

The two looked at each other, didn't say anything, and walked along the avenue.

At first, the avenue was only two zhang wide, but as the two gradually deepened, the avenue gradually widened, and finally became five zhang wide.

And Fang gradually left to find that the weeds on both sides of the avenue gradually faded in color, and finally turned pale.

In the distance, there is a white grass avenue, and on both sides of the avenue you can occasionally see some cave dwellings of mortals from a hundred years ago, but they are all dilapidated and lifeless.

Most of the mortals had been captured at that time, and as strange as it was, there was nothing to stay in.

The two of them walked one after the other like this, and Fang gradually became nervous, not daring to slack off.

"There's someone ahead!" Yan Xia suddenly said.

Fang gradually lifted his eyes to take a look, and sure enough, a black dot appeared on the side of the avenue in the distance, swaying, and it seemed to be a figure.

"Approach slowly, carefully. Yan Xia said.

Fang Yanli nodded, this place was not in the sect, there were many dangers, he naturally would not take it lightly.

The two of them continued to speed and slowly moved forward.

When I got closer, I realized that it was a banner that was swaying, slanted into the ground, fluttering in the wind.

There are words on the flag, crooked, and it is a 'tea' word.

Under the banner sat an old woman, kneeling on the ground, with a smooth plank swinging horizontally in front of her knees.

There are three teapots on the board, red, earthy, black from left to right, and three teapots are placed at the end.

"Two adults!" the old woman trembled and kowtowed, her forehead resting on the earth-colored teapot in the middle.

Apparently she had already noticed the two of them.

"Are you mortal?" Yan Xia stepped forward, stopped in front of the flag, and asked with some vigilance.

"The old man is a mortal, who comes here to sell tea. The old woman bowed her head and was extremely respectful.

"Mortal cave dwelling is less than seventy or eighty miles away from here, how can you be here!" Yan Xia asked, his eyes widened.

The old woman's thin body trembled, and she hurriedly replied: "My lord, the old man is a mortal who is in charge of the Pingguan Gate, and there is a white grass road crossing not far in front. The old man has no children under his knees, and only makes a living by selling tea, and he gets up every day on the third watch, and he only arrives here at noon, just to exchange for food charms. ”

"Pingguanmen?" Yan Xia muttered, feeling unfamiliar.

"Pingguanmen is a small sect in the far north of the East Sect, but it does have its place. Fang Yuanli, who had been watching from behind, added.

"You know this?" Yan Xia rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Old man, your teapot is very chic, but we are not from a small sect, so we can't issue a food talisman for you. Fang gradually smiled lightly, walked in front of the old woman and lowered his body and said.

The old woman was stunned when she heard this, a trace of horror flashed in her eyes, and then she hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the old age, adults can naturally drink this tea at will today." ”

Obviously, she was mistaken.

Fang gradually left and was not busy explaining, ignoring Yan Xia's eyes, and also knelt down in front of the old woman.

"My lord!" the old woman was so frightened that the plank in her hand trembled a little.

"It doesn't have to be like that for the elderly. Fang Yanli reached out and dragged the plank to stabilize it.

"The teapot is good, I don't know where it comes from?" Fang gradually looked at the three teapots close at hand, his heart moved, and he asked inexplicably.

Seeing that Fang was gradually leaving, the old woman was a little bolder, and said: "My lord, these three are all made of old decay and self-pulling embryos, and they are for partridges. ”

"Why is that what you call it?" asked Fang Wanli strangely.

"What else, the Partridge Tiliang is an ordinary teapot, and there was one of the Elders of the Invincible Sect in the past. Yan Xia, who was on the side, suddenly interjected.

Fang gradually twitched from the corner of his mouth, this senior brother really likes to show off.

"It's because, sad. The old woman suddenly raised her head at this time, looked at Fang gradually leaving, and said seriously.

Fang was stunned for a moment, but the old woman talked to herself again.

"The first one on the left hand side of the adult, the red one, I call it the mourning, mourning the hundreds of thousands of people who died, and the earth-colored one in the middle, called the desolate sorrow, lamenting that this place has been barren for hundreds of years. ”

"And what about the last black one?" Fang gradually lost interest, and the old woman in front of him also named the teapot, which was really strange.

"This last one. The old woman glanced at Fang Yanli and said slowly: "The old man hasn't thought about it yet. ”

"Don't come and try the tea in the old pot, but it has its own way. The old woman said.

Fang Yanli hesitated for a moment, glanced at the three teapots in front of him, and then said, "If the old man doesn't dislike me for not having a food talisman, I am naturally willing to taste it." ”

"Senior brother!" Yan Xia shouted.

Fang Yanli turned his head and glanced at Yan Xia, seeing the vigilance in his eyes.

But he still only chuckled, and then turned his head again to look at the old woman.

"The first pot of tea, my lord, please. The old woman filled the first tea pot and handed it over.

Fang gradually took the teapot and looked down, only to see that the tea in the teapot was still warm, and there was a little bit of heat.

Lifting the teapot and drinking, Fang gradually closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes, put down the teapot, and said: "It's bitter, but it fits the name of the teapot and sorrow, it's good." ”

"My lord will try this second pot again. The old woman handed over a teapot again.

Fang gradually took it again, this time the tea was much clearer than Fang Cai, and it was actually another kind of tea.

As soon as I drank it, a cold feeling ran through it from head to toe.

Fang gradually put down the teapot and said, "It's cold." ”

The first pot of tea is miserable, and the second pot of tea is desolate.

At this time, he saw that the old woman did not pour the third pot of tea, and was about to ask, but the old woman rearranged the three tea pots and said: "My lord, the third pot of tea came in a hurry today, and I was not prepared, I am afraid that I will disappoint the adult." ”

Fang was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and he wanted to ask why she had brought the third teapot since this was the case, but at this time, Yan Xia suddenly interjected and asked, "What forces have been coming and going in the past few days?"

The old woman thought for a while and replied: "Forgive the old man for being clumsy, I can't recognize the calendar, the adults in the past rarely pay attention to the old man, and the old man can't know it, but there are indeed a lot of adults in recent days." ”

"Senior brother, then we have to leave quickly, I can't say that a group of people have gathered in the deserted city in the near future, and they are going to the ghost town, and we must also hurry up to find out the situation. Yan Xia glanced at the sky and said in a hurry.

Fang gradually left the heart of the words, nodded, and stood up.

Just a few steps away, Fang Yanli suddenly remembered something, took out a Bigu Dan from the storage bag, turned it back, and put it on the old woman's wooden board.

"The old man's tea is good, and the teapot also has a meaning, this is a Bigu Dan, be sure to accept it, and say goodbye in the next. Fang Yanli said softly, then turned around and left with Yan Xia.

"My lord!" the old woman shouted.

Fang gradually turned his head, waved his hand from afar, and gradually walked away.
