Chapter 19: The Old Slave
"You don't ask, but I know you must be curious why I chose this place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At least my parents lived here all their lives and died here. ”
"Didn't Grandpa say before that you were from somewhere else......?
"I inquired carefully with Mr. Mingxin, and this mountain is indeed the one I used to live in. When the immortal moved the mountain peak here, I happened to be on the mountain, and then the immortal arranged for me to live outside Tianbu Mountain. At that time, there were many people like me, but they all left Tianbu Mountain with the officials, and only a few of them still lived under Tianbu Mountain like me. ”
"It's actually my first time here, and I used to live in a mine down the mountain. This mountain is inhabited by immortals with boundless power, and my mother used to be a tea picker in this tea garden when she was young, picking tea for the immortals. Later, when I was older, I was sent to the bottom of the mountain, and after following my father, she gave birth to me. When I was a child, I always heard her talk about working in the tea plantations, and it was the happiest and most accomplished time of her life......"
"When I was young, my father and I were mining in a mine at the bottom of the mountain, which seemed to be an ore called 'Spirit Stone'. At that time, it was very hard, I got up early and was busy all night, and my father finally died inside. I was lucky, when I was about to die, I was transferred out and sent to Lingtian to do farm work, which can be regarded as saving my life. The days went by, until one day the whole mountain shook and scared us in all directions...... Later, I found out that it was an immortal fighting method!"
"The immortals on the mountain were defeated by the immortals of the academy and were also driven out of the mountain. Then the entire mountain peak was lifted up by the immortals of the academy and flew into the sky. I will never forget what happened that day for the rest of my life. At the base of the hill I watched the ground get farther and farther away...... It's getting farther and farther away, so scared that I almost peed my pants!" When the old man said this, there was a smile on his face unconsciously, and the whole person gradually fell into memory.
"I never thought I'd come back here one day, and I didn't want to come back here again. There are too many unhappy pasts here, and there are too many sad things! However, when Mr. Mingxin took me to choose your cave, I recognized this mountain peak at a glance, and recognized the place where I had lived for most of my life, so I chose this place as your cave. I sometimes feel as if I'm back in the old days, but now I'm the master here, not the slave who has nothing...... It's like a dream!"
"Grandpa, this is not a dream! We are living here, and we are the masters here. Nu Tian emphasized affirmatively.
"I knew that my grandson was a capable person!" the old man sighed as he stroked his head.
"Actually, there is another reason why I chose this place. I've lived here for most of my life, and I'm familiar with every plant and tree here, and I know a lot of things that others don't know - just like this tea garden! At first, I was a little worried that the immortals of the academy would take the tea garden away, but it seems that this tea garden still can't enter the eyes of the immortals!"
"This should be the tea garden of those immortal disciples originally, although there are a few superb spiritual teas, but they are not really rare in the end, so naturally they can't enter the eyes of those gentlemen in the academy. However, it is a great blessing for us! This tea garden has already set up a formation, and it is not yet one; it is only that the spirit stones have long been exhausted, and the formation has not been activated. ”
"If you want to be a spirit stone, you can go to the spirit mine under the mountain to mined it. I've been to see it, and although it has collapsed, as long as you dig it up again, you can get the spirit stone. It's just that we are mining privately, will the gentlemen of the academy be unhappy? Why don't you talk to Mr. Mingxin, and besides, he has helped us a lot during this time!"
"Well, then I'll talk to the senior tomorrow. Grandpa, take me to the cave first to take a look, I haven't seen the original spirit stone mine yet!"
The next day, after the various classes were over, Ming Xinqian came to Le Lingfeng as soon as possible.
"The green yarn heart is really the green yarn heart. There are actually three superlative tea plants, I haven't drunk the superlative spiritual tea yet!" Ming Xinque looked at the tea trees inside with bright eyes in the cave, and when he saw the three superlative tea trees in the center of the tea garden, he almost drooled.
"Tyrannical Creatures! Actually fried such a high-grade elixir like this. Nu Tian, you bastard, do you know how expensive the high-grade elixir is on the market?"
"......" The two grandchildren of Nutian were humble and did not say a word.
"The picking and frying of this spiritual tea are extremely exquisite, and there can be no mistakes in every step, only in this way can we make a real high-grade spiritual tea or even the best spiritual tea......" Ming Xinqi gushed about the tea scriptures.
"Senior Mingxin, what to do with these spirit teas, you should come and get an idea!" Nu Tian listened for a long time, and had to open his mouth to interrupt this guy's rambling.
"This batch of newly picked elixirs in the tea garden, I will help you fry them. But whether it is the best or the best, I will ask for half of it, then your remaining sixty acres of blood saplings will be wrapped around me! As for the new tea that will be picked in the future, you must give me at least one-third of it, and I will contribute to you at the market price. "Ming Xinqi looks like those profiteers at this time.
"Then do as Mr. Mingxin said!" Seeing that his grandson was a little hesitant, the old man immediately agreed.
"Senior bothered!" Nu Tian also came to his senses in an instant and thanked him.
"It's so shabby, but luckily I have tools with me. You all go out and call that little girl outside to help. Ming Xin opened his mouth and commanded.
The little girl that Ming Xinqiao said is Zhang Ershan's eldest daughter, although she is just ten years old this year, she has already begun to help with housework and cook good meals. As soon as the two grandchildren heard it, they knew that Ming Xin wanted to teach the girl tea picking and tea making skills, and of course there was no objection.
"Senior, where is the spirit mine?"
"You should have seen it, can you still mine spirit stones?"
"If you can still mine some in the depths of the tunnel, shouldn't you report it to the academy?"
"There's no need, if you can mine, you can continue to mine, more or less it's always a spirit stone. Your kid's luck is really good, just find a mountain peak that is actually a spiritual tea garden and a spiritual mine!"
"No need to report it! Why?"
"Things like spirit ore and spirit veins are strategic resources, and they are very important to every sect. Each of the peaks in the academy has been inspected many times, and the mineral source and spiritual veins have been directly removed. So if you really dig up spirit stones in the spirit mine, it will only be a remnant of spirit stones, and there won't be too many left. However, it is a rare wealth for low-level students such as me, and this is all the blessing of Uncle Slave, so you can use it with peace of mind!"
"I see, that's good!" Nu Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, to be honest, he was still very reluctant to report the spirit stone mine to the academy.
"Don't be fascinated by small interests, it's just something outside your body!" Ming Xinqian knocked on the head of the slave heaven and taught him seriously.
"Kid is taught!" Nu Tian immediately gathered his superfluous thoughts and respectfully bowed to Ming Xin.
"Call those two of your disciples back! When will you be able to succeed in your cultivation when you have just started practicing? You guy is really worrying, and you have to stir up the crowd like this for a little thing. Ming Xin glared at Nu Tian dissatisfied.
"What does the senior mean?"
"Stupid!" Ming Xinque knocked Nu Tian's head hard again before continuing: "There are priorities, and cultivation is the most important thing, as long as the Tao is enough, you can do everything with half the effort." I know that you value those two disciples very much, so you should improve their cultivation more, just let them run all over Tianbu Mountain just for a few blood saplings, do you really think it's worth it?"
"Thank you seniors for teaching, the kid knows what is wrong!" These words made Nu Tian break out in a cold sweat.
"It's good to know your mistakes, get out of here, don't hinder me from picking tea!" Ming Xinque waved his hand and motioned for Nu Tian to leave quickly.
Nu Tian bowed politely and quietly withdrew.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Nu Tian is still standing quietly in front of the cave, in front of him is a golden spiritual valley, and the heavy ears of grain have pressed the straws to the point that they are bent down. It's just that there is no trace of joy on the face of Nu Tian, who is looking at the mountain spirit valley, but with a faint sadness, and there are faint tears in his eyes - it turns out that not long ago, the old man Nu had passed away due to illness!
Over the years, on Tianbu Mountain, life has been greatly improved, the old man is smiling almost all the time; plus Nu Tian took a lot of health and longevity pills back, the old man seems to be younger for more than ten years, every day to go to the field to cultivate, no one thought that yesterday was still talking and laughing, and the next day ......
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the old man is not young, and when he was young, he was tired again! In addition, he was seriously injured while "climbing the mountain", and although he was treated afterwards, he always lost his vitality. If it weren't for the miraculous effect of those elixirs in the academy, I'm afraid the two grandchildren would not have been together for nearly ten years.
"It's been almost a year before you know it, time flies so fast!" Nu Tian tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Grandpa, are you okay......"
