Chapter 828: On the Tea Party
When leaving Xiahou Liangjun's cave mansion, looking at the old man of Tianjing who was leaving with a negative spirit, Zhou Nan thanked Xiahou Liangjun again and again, and walked back with full doubts. Xiahou Liangjun's actions were so abnormal that he was caught off guard.
"Hmph, it seems that I'm still too kind. These old monsters are always mysterious and do things completely out of the ordinary. Behind this incident, there must be an ulterior truth. But as long as you don't get involved with me, let's go with him. Otherwise"
Thinking about his large pile of hole cards, Zhou Nan clenched his fists, and before he felt his residence, he had recovered.
Although the battle between the five kings and twelve generals has made waves because of the unexpected advancement of the Holy Maiden of the Northern Drifting Snow Palace, the battle of the five kings, which determines the future trend and fate of the wood domain, will not be shaken in the slightest. At the same time, the lineup of the North Drifting Snow Palace has been determined.
Originally, according to the old man of Tianjing, he directly let all the top ten geniuses on the Qingyun List pass. However, Bai Shura Ye Qi had already been beaten by Zhou Nan and even getting out of bed and walking became a problem, so naturally, this quota fell on Zhou Nan's head.
And last night, the green-skinned man of the Beast King Valley angrily found Xiao Han, who was ranked tenth on the Qingyun List. After the two fought a lot, the winner was decided at the end of the night. The result was unexpected, and it turned out to be the green-skinned man who won.
As for Lin Changfeng, who went with him, he didn't have this luck, he was directly seriously injured by others, and he was carried back miserably. In this regard, while everyone gave a high evaluation to the green-skinned man, they naturally despised the hard-pressed Lin Changfeng.
These two things. After Zhou Nan heard this, he smiled bitterly at the same time. Naturally, it was a burst of emotion. And the green-skinned man with some strength and hole cards was also at the first time. He put it on a cautious list. After all, such strength should naturally be taken seriously.
In addition, the purple-clothed woman of the Flower Sect was also in the team. Although this woman is not a genius in the top ten of the Qingyun List, her cultivation in infancy is extremely terrifying. Very easily, he eliminated the fifth genius on the original Qingyun List, which seemed very easy.
In just one day, the top ten of the Qingyun List, which has not changed much for tens or hundreds of years, is at such a superb speed. Three people were replaced. The turmoil caused by this made the group of old people naturally jealous for a while, and they frequently met and discussed.
The battle of the five kings is scheduled for three days later, and those who are eligible to watch it are counted less than a hundred, and the few are pitiful. As for the thousands of monks who had nothing to do, they were immediately reorganized into the army, escorted by the ancestor of the Yuan Infant Period, and drove to the battlefield in the extreme east.
With an exuberant attitude. Come to participate in the competition of the five kings and twelve generals. But before he could show off a few times, he was first frightened by Zhou Nan and Ye Qi, and then he was sent to the Far East battlefield where he wanted to die or live. For these patriarchs of the Dan period, Sensei is cheating.
Even many discerning people are skeptical. Is it that the Wood Domain Hall did this on purpose? The purpose is to gather the monks of the Yudan Stage scattered all over the Wood Domain in the fastest way and then reorganize them. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of rapidly expanding the army.
The twelve generals came faster than the fight, but ended faster. less than a day. When the three thousand monks of the Ming Dynasty were secretly escorted away. Nuo is a big Taihao Sect, and it was deserted in an instant. Empty. There is an indescribable sense of solemnity.
The Great Monk who participated in the Battle of the Five Kings was ten in total. Because the number of people is very coincidental, there is no need to deliberately engage in any rotational battles. The two of them fought each other, the winner advanced, and the defeated exited, and the rules were very simple and clear. The old guys have no objection to this.
In terms of the Taihao Sect, Xiahou Liangjun and Shangguan Ying participated, the Flower Sect was participated by the contemporary sect master Hai Moer, and the Beast King Valley was represented by the contemporary valley master Ge Xiong. On the side of the Wood Domain Palace, two of the four masters, Impermanence and Soul Wind, were dispatched. As for Venerable Bai Xuan, he is still hiding in the Domain Hall to recuperate from his injuries, and he has no face to come out to see anyone. And the remaining four people are some power sect masters or scattered cultivators in the Wood Domain.
Of the ten great cultivators, except for those few loose cultivators, none of the rest were weak. This battle will certainly be different.
Because of the generous interval, the tea party mentioned by the purple-clothed woman of Huazong will be held the night before the Battle of the Five Kings. After thinking about it, Zhou Nan planned to participate. The familiarity from the woman in purple, if you don't understand, he is uncomfortable.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed in a flash. And in the past few days, Taihao Sect seems to be very calm on the surface, but in private, I don't know how many times the undercurrent has surged. At least Zhou Nan, who was indifferent, encountered several major incidents.
"Regardless of the woman in purple who invited me to the tea party, this time she must unravel the veil of mystery. Now I'm pressed for time, and I'm not in the mood to guess any more dumb riddles. ”
On the way, Zhou Nan lowered his head and thought as he walked, when he woke up, the place was almost there.
The tea ceremony was held in the dense forest on the top of the Taihao Sect. The environment there is quiet, the mountain breeze is gentle, and the moonlight is sultry tonight, and the sky is full of stars, so it is a quiet place. It is close to the water flow, and the winding path is quiet, which is the most suitable for tea tasting.
Those who cultivate the Tao are certainly not exempt from vulgarity. But if it was just the most ordinary tea party, how could Zhou Nan participate? In this tea party, tea tasting is secondary, and the most important thing is the word 'On the Dao'.
Tea tasting on the Tao, on the way of cultivating immortals, on the way of the world, on the way of life.
The moment I stepped on the top of the cliff, the wet and cool mountain breeze blew, and there was a sudden firelight not far away, faintly mixed with a faint fragrance. Looking into the distance, through the darkness. It seems that the laughter of men and women is singing, and it is as intoxicating as the sound of song.
"I'm really looking for a place. ”
After gathering his mind, Zhou Nan took a comfortable step and walked slowly towards the firelight.
It is not only a tea party, but also a discussion of the Tao, and it is natural that you can't be alone. The woman in purple initiated several people and invited many people. But the vast majority of them are young people, perhaps older and terrifying than mortals, but they are still very young.
Bypassing a few large trees, ignoring the clothes that were slightly wet from the leaves, his vision changed instantly. A vacant land of more than ten zhang in size was revealed. There were futons on the ground at intervals, and twenty or thirty people scattered on them. The fire in the middle lingers, like a bonfire feast.
"Huh. You're here!"
The woman in purple turned her head at the right time and looked at Zhou Nan, revealing a look of surprise and surprise.
"I've been waiting. In the south of the next week, from Xuanlou, I have met all the Taoist friends. ”
Looking at the vast majority of strangers in the field, Zhou Nan first gestured to the woman in purple. Then he smiled slightly, and introduced himself succinctly, neither humble nor arrogant, with an excellent bearing.
"Haha. It turned out to be Zhou Daoyou, no wonder you still need the blue fairy to wait for a long time, sit down!" the green-skinned man narrowed his eyes and laughed out loud uncharacteristically. The appearance of good talking, the other people who looked at it were dumbfounded for a while.
Zhou Nan's strength, with these few days, has naturally spread to everyone's ears. For this ruthless man who almost slaughtered Bai Shura Ye Qi, many people present were no less powerful than Ye Qi even if they asked themselves. But instinctively, they are afraid of three points. Three points of awe.
"Zhou Daoyou, these are the top ten geniuses on the Qingyun list. Except for two or three people who were really distracted, everyone who could come came. And the rest of these people are in the field of alchemy refining tools."
Pointing to the person next to him. The woman in purple introduced.
Knowing the strength of Bai Shura Ye Qi, Zhou Nan naturally spent a lot of effort to understand the geniuses on the Qingyun List. Counting from his position next to the woman in purple. Looking around, there were seventeen people in total. Each one has a deep gaze. The breath is powerful.
Except for the purple-clothed woman and the green-skinned man, Zhou Nan had seen, and the rest didn't know any of them. Now. These people were staring at him with awe and curiosity. There are even a few who speak on their own and introduce themselves, with a hearty appearance of self-familiarity.
The geniuses of this Qingyun list, counting the three guys who have not yet been recognized by Zhou Nan, there are four people in total. They are a cold-faced woman with a baby face, a bronzed-skinned man, a personable Confucian student, and a one-armed cold teenager.
These four people are all cultivators in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, the cold-faced woman is called Duan Ling, the copper-skinned man Mo Tie, the Confucian scholar Bai Xiaosheng, and the one-armed boy Xiao Weeping. Duan Ling is from the Fengyan Kingdom Shocking Chen Sect, and Mo Tie is from a mysterious race. Xiao Wei was born in Taihao Sect, and Bai Xiao's origin is unknown.
In addition to these four people, there are five or six Yuan Infant Patriarchs left, who are older, but it is undeniable that they were all amazing young and handsome men who were once amazing, with various backgrounds and magical powers. But the most eye-catching thing is the group of professionals.
Among them, although each of them is a Yuan Infant Cultivator, they are proficient in alchemy, refining, spirit beasts, talismans, puppets, formations, and so on. And each of them has at least reached the master's attainment, and this time they gathered together, and naturally sparked countless sparks.
When the one-armed boy Xiao Wai was introduced, the purple-clothed woman's face was slightly unnatural. Obviously, she also knew that Zhou Nan had refuted Taihaozong's face, and Xiao Wai, who was another genius of Taihaozong, naturally would not give Zhou Nan a good face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
But who knows, as soon as the woman in purple finished speaking, the one-armed man said coldly, "I am me, and I have nothing to do with Ye Qi." Besides, that guy always looks arrogant with no one in his eyes on weekdays, and I can't get used to it. Zhou Daoyou doesn't have to mind. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Nan was in awe. Such a broad-minded genius, although he looked a little unwilling on his face, was even more terrifying. Facts have also proved that this is indeed the case, Xiao Wei's ranking on the Qingyun list is many places higher than Ye Qi, which is enough to explain everything.
After a long time, when everyone got to know each other, the woman in purple got up and said crisply, "Thanks to all the Taoist friends, I came to participate in Lan Yao's Taoist tea party." Now that all the people have arrived, the tea party will officially begin now!"
When the words fell, although everyone did not cheer as they should be, the smiles on their faces were a little more.
On the first item of the tea party, there is tea drinking. But seeing the purple-clothed woman in a row of storage bags, the glow flashed, and there was a three-foot-sized tea table on the spot. Tea leaves, tea sets and other things are readily available. Obviously, this woman was already ready.
"The first tea, the blue water tea, the first sun after the snow. Growing in the back mountain of Huazong, this tea has an extremely long growth cycle, but when it is ripe, it can only exist for a few short breaths. The first glimpse of the snow will spill over it, and if it is not picked in time, it will wither and scatter."
The purple-clothed woman's voice was very crisp, and Zhou Nan heard it with novelty. Unconsciously, the vision gradually blurred, and I remembered the scene when Wang Yuxuan invited himself to drink tea with Old Man Wang for the first time.
If I remember correctly, it seems that the name of that tea is Bixue Chuqing, which looks very similar to now, but many years have passed. So much so that his terrifying memories are faintly a little blurry.
When the woman in purple spoke, a pair of slender jade hands were also moving skillfully. A small packet of jade-like tea leaves was removed from the sealed jade box, and then gently placed into a boiling teapot, soaked, washed, and moisturized (to be continued). )
