Old man who sells tea
Aoshuangxue was sleeping in a daze, and was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door, sat up suddenly, and settled down, only to realize that it was already dawn, and then heard Chi Zhongtian's voice outside, "Senior sister, hurry up"!
Ao Shuangxue replied, "Here it is", stretched her waist, and then began to get dressed. At this time, Chi Zhongtian said again: "Come to me for breakfast after getting up, it has been delivered." After saying that, Chi Zhongtian left.
Ao Shuangxue was dressed neatly, and then washed her face again, and then opened the door and walked out.
After the two of them had eaten, Chi Zhongtian simply cleaned up, took the Chengying Sword, and Ao Shuangxue prepared to set off, just walked near the door of the inner courtyard, and happened to meet Jin Chi, Jin Chi knew that they were going out, so he instructed his disciples to prepare two good horses, and also told Chi Zhongtian to come back early for dinner in the evening. After Chi Zhongtian thanked him, he went out with Aoshuangxue.
When the two of them arrived outside the gate, they were about to get on their horses and move forward, but they couldn't help but hear a voice behind them: "The two of you are going out so early!" When Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue heard the voice, they turned their heads together, only to find that it was Jin Mufeng.
"Jin Gongzi is early, we have to go out to do some business", Chi Zhongtian explained while politely replying.
"Do you want me to accompany you, I'm very familiar with the vicinity of Yanjing City", Jin Mufeng said enthusiastically.
Before Chi Zhongtian could answer, Ao Shuangxue said first: "Don't work hard for the golden prince, let's just take a turn casually."
Jin Mufeng didn't expect Ao Shuangxue to rush to refuse him, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not easy to show it, so he had to say: "Proud girl is polite, since the two of you have something, then I won't bother, the two of you are good."
"Farewell", after speaking, Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue beat their horses and left.
"You come here, you go", after Jin Mufeng saw the two of them walking away, he called a disciple next to him, and then whispered something
After Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue left Yanyun Hall, they ran all the way to the west, first entering Yanjing City, and then coming out of the west gate of Yanjing City, and continued to whip their horses for a while, and after a while, they saw a big mountain in front of them from a distance, and after continuing to drive for a while, they stopped at the foot of this mountain.
After the two stopped, Aoshuangxue carefully looked at the mountain that appeared in front of her, this mountain is towering, the mountain is lush, and sometimes there are birds flying over the mountainside, it is charming, Aoshuangxue saw such a beautiful scenery, she couldn't help but feel a sense of relaxation and joy, turned her head and said: "Brother Tian, this mountain is much better than the scenery of our North Styx Mountain"!
Chi Zhongtian also looked up and admired it and said: "I don't see it at all, although it is verdant and shady here, but it is not as mysterious as our North Styx Mountain, I still like the scenery of the North Styx Mountain, silver and white, across thousands of miles, just like the shadow of the Nine Heavens Milky Way"!
Ao Shuangxue smiled: "Okay, don't show your poetry here, my personal feelings are different, I like the feeling here anyway, it's lifeful!"
Chi Zhongtian didn't refute it after hearing this, but said lightly: "It's too angry, but it's easy to make people's hearts too restless!"
Ao Shuangxue knew that Chi Zhongtian was full of poetry and books, and he was good at speaking on weekdays, but seeing that Chi Zhongtian was sighing again, he quickly stopped, for fear that he would continue to talk endlessly.
Chi Zhongtian saw that Ao Shuangxue didn't want to listen, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't listen, let's go into the mountain, Dad told me that old friend lives in the incense burner mountain in the west of Yanjing City, this should be the incense burner mountain, let's go." ”!
"Don't be busy, you see there's a tea seller, why don't we go and have a cup of tea, rest and rest before leaving." Aoshuangxue rode a horse for a long time, she was already tired, and she wanted to rest and rest, when she looked around, she saw that there was a tea seller not far from her left, so she proposed to have a cup of tea.
Chi Zhongtian was also a little tired, and when he saw the tea seller, he couldn't help but feel a dryness in his mouth, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." So saying, the two led the horse to the teahouse.
There was no one in the tea shed, only an old man with white hair and a gray cloth robe sitting by the tea stove, and the two tied their horses to the tea shed by the roadside, and then after finding a place to sit down, they beckoned, "Two cups of tea."
"Here, ahem", an old man came over with two cups of hot tea, put them on the table, and then turned to leave.
Aoshuangxue picked up the cup, sniffed it first, and then said, "This tea is very fragrant."
Chi Zhongtian listened, picked up the cup and smelled it, then nodded and said, "Indeed."
Speaking, Chi Zhongtian first took a sip, only to feel that the entrance of this tea was slightly bitter, and then bitter and sweet, a stream of sweetness flowed through the throat, there was actually a kind of 'Qingquan Stone downstream' of pleasure, a sip of tea swallowed, lips and teeth fragrant, Chi Zhongtian couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!" Ao Shuangxue heard Chi Zhongtian say good tea, so she quickly took a sip, and then nodded with a smile, as if agreeing with Chi Zhongtian's words. When the old man who sold tea heard the praise, he was not politely modest, but he still sat quietly by the tea stove as if he had nothing to do with himself.
After the two of them finished drinking tea, Chi Zhongtian got up and asked, "Uncle, how much?"
The old man replied without raising his head: "Two runs."
When Chi Zhongtian heard this, he hurriedly prepared to pay for it, but he couldn't find a copper coin, so he had to take out a tael of silver, and then put it on the table and said: "Uncle, I don't have copper coins, these two silvers are the right to be used as tea money." Seeing that the old man was alone, Chi Zhongtian felt a little pity for him, thinking that he didn't bring copper coins anyway, so he might as well be kind.
Chi Zhongtian put down the silver and was about to lead the horse with Aoshuangxue, when he suddenly heard the old man faintly spit out two words "two runs"!
Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue were stunned at the same time, they didn't understand what this meant, they thought that the old man was just talking casually, so he didn't take it seriously, and was about to continue to lead the horse, when the old man suddenly stood up, walked to the table used by the two just now, picked up the one or two silver, and walked over to Chi Zhongtian and said: "Two runs"!
Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue were a little crying and laughing, Ao Shuangxue thought that the old man was old and reminiscent, and he was confused, so he explained: "Uncle, these two pieces of silver are worth ten times, we didn't give less, but more."
When the old man heard this, his tone was still very flat: "When the old man spent money for the first time, your father and mother may still be in the mother's womb, I only need to take back more than two times."
When Chi Zhongtian heard this, he felt a little strange in his heart, how could there be so many businessmen who didn't want to give money? But seeing that the other party was an old man, Chi Zhongtian didn't want to say anything more to the old man, so he said: "Then please ask the old man to find us eight yuan for money."
"I didn't, you just give two runs".
"You"!" When Chi Zhongtian heard the old man say this, he became a little angry, thinking to himself why this old man was so stubborn! But as a young man, he can't be as knowledgeable as this old man. So he said: "Uncle, I don't have any copper coins on me, and the least is one or two, you can see what to do"!
The old man glanced at Chi Zhongtian and said, "That's not my business, which one told you to come to drink tea without money?"
This time, before Chi Zhongtian could speak, Ao Shuangxue next to him was anxious: "Uncle, how can we not bring money, we just see that you are alone, and we want to give you more money with kindness, why are you still so embarrassed by us, what is the reason?"
After hearing this, the old man faintly spit out three words, "No need"!
This time, Chi Zhongtian and Aoshuangxue understood a little, this old man was either old and confused, or he was looking for trouble, so he didn't say it in a good voice, Chi Zhongtian walked over directly, slapped the Chengying Sword on the table with a snap, and then said: "Then what do you say, anyway, I don't have copper coins on me."
Ao Shuangxue saw that Chi Zhongtian was a little angry, and hurriedly went up and persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Tian, don't be like the old man, he is just confused."
"You're just old and confused", the old man obviously heard what Ao Shuangxue said.
Seeing that the old man was hearing very well, Aoshuangxue suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she had to speak: "Old man Mo blame, it's just that you see what to do, we still have something to do, we can't always delay here."
At this time, the old man's eyes glanced at the sword that Chi Zhongtian slapped on the table, and said: "There is a way, so let's do it, I won't be difficult for you, if you give me something, I should pay for the tea."
As soon as Chi Zhongtian heard that the old man was relieved, he quickly changed his tone and asked: "This is easy to say, uncle, you see that we are out to do business, and we don't have any good things on us, I don't know what you want, uncle"?
"I want your sword," the old man said unhurriedly.
"What"! Chi Zhongtian's nerves, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly tensed again, he never thought that the old man would ask for the sword in his hand, and he was secretly distressed in his heart, how could so many people covet this Chengying Sword.
When Ao Shuangxue heard the old man say this, she suddenly understood something in her heart, and quickly stretched out her hand to pull Chi Zhongtian, who was in a daze, and Chi Zhongtian was startled, and immediately reacted, so she pulled Ao Shuangxue with her backhand, and the two of them flashed to the open space outside the tea shed at the same time.
Chi Zhongtian asked for a moment: "The old man is a person who practices martial arts"?
"Sort of," replied the old man.
This answer made Chi Zhongtian and Ao Shuangxue a little crying and laughing, what do you mean.
Chi Zhongtian asked again: "Uncle, this sword is extremely sharp, if you want to use it to practice martial arts, it is easy to hurt yourself, so you should not use it." Seeing the appearance of this old man, Chi Zhongtian didn't think much about the master, thinking that he was just deceiving himself to be young, so he didn't worry. Although someone had tried to snatch his sword before, this time, wasn't the sword still in his hand.
After the old man heard what Chi Zhongtian said, he suddenly hahadaxiao, and then said: "The arrogant boy with no one in his eyes", and then at a speed like lightning, he suddenly pulled out a short sword from his left sleeve with his right hand, and then flicked his big sleeve, kicked his legs, and stabbed obliquely, and rushed towards Chi Zhongtian.
Chi Zhongtian never dreamed that this old man would have such an agile body, and he didn't have time to think about anything at the moment, so he pushed Aoshuangxue to the side, and then pulled out the Chengying Sword and greeted it.
This is the first time that Chi Zhongtian has used it against the enemy since Chi Yuanshan gave Chi Zhongtian this shadow-bearing sword.
The old man saw that Chi Zhongtian also drew his sword to meet him, and the blade of the sword in his right hand turned horizontally in front of his chest, and then slashed towards Chi Zhongtian's body from the inside out with a move of "Splitting Huashan".
