Qi Nanshan thought for a moment, then said: "I don't see anything wrong, but first send a few people to investigate, we will follow slowly, um, even if there is a problem, don't be afraid, as long as you don't encounter a similar earth dragon The mutant rune beast, there will be no danger."
Luo Jie nodded and said, "The older you get, the more careful you are. Hehe, let's go over there."
Qi Nanshan said: "Xiaofeng, you bring two Fu warriors over there... If you are in danger, retreat immediately, don't try your best!"
Xiaofeng agreed, and with two talisman warriors, quickly ran to the pond.
Guo Twelve supported Luo Jie and joked all the way. The old man enjoyed his apprentice's filial piety very much. He said cheerfully, "Twelve, we should be more leisurely during this time. You should hurry up and study, and don't waste your homework."
Guo Twelve said, "Master, I know, don't worry."
Luo Jie knew very well in his heart that his little apprentice was extremely hardworking, as long as he stopped to rest, he would definitely be reading a book in his hand, and said with a smile, "When you become a spell master, your strength can protect yourself. , Not yet, um, I will make a few treasures for you in the future to improve your strength."
"Master, we have to find a way to get some war horses. We can't go far by walking. If we encounter danger, it will be too late to escape."
Luo Jie nodded and said, "Twelve, go over this mountain range first, there should be no war horses here."
Xiaofeng and others returned quickly and said, "Master, there is no sign of danger, the pond is safe!"
Qi Nanshan shouted: "Let's go faster, everyone. Today we will rest by the pond, eat and replenish water." Everyone happily agreed and rushed towards the pond.
The pond is not big, and there is a forest around it, and a stream flows into it and flows out from the other end. Because it is living water, the water is very clear. Qi Nanshan was the first to arrive. He took a sip of water and said, "This water is fine. You can drink it."
Chen Hong had already rushed to the edge of the pond and almost jumped in. Hearing this, she blushed and hurriedly took out a water bag to collect clean water.
There are at least two water bags on each person, and most of them can hold one cubic meter of water. Guo Twelve exclaimed how powerful the Tibetan Talisman is. A water bag can be filled with a lot of water after the Tibetan Talisman is made. If you save a little, it will be no problem for two months, which is very convenient.
Everyone lined up and squatted by the pond, sinking the water bags into the water. In a moment, the water level of the entire pond dropped by at least one foot.
Chen Hong suddenly trembled. Guo Twelve was right next to her and asked, "What's the matter?" Chen Hong pointed to the thatched grass by the pond not far away, and said, "Then... is that a path?"
Qi Nanshan stood not far from the two of them. Hearing this, he was also surprised. He jumped up and came to the grass in a few steps. He observed it carefully and said, "That's right, it's a path, and there are people's footprints, not made by beasts!"
Luo Jie also rushed over. Guo Twelve was curious, why is there anyone here? He also followed. Soon, most of the people gathered around the side of the road.
Guo Twelve said, "There is only one person!"
Luo Jie agreed: "Yes, it's a person. Let's go along the path to see who is living in seclusion here. Well, everyone should be vigilant, but don't offend people easily. Those who can survive in the secret realm for a long time will not Simple. I don't want to get into unexplainable trouble."
Qi Nanshan said: "I went with the old man, you stay here and wait, Luo Zhan, you are in charge. Xiaofeng, you bring a Fu warrior to follow us."
Guo Shishi raised his hand and said, "I'm going too!" He was very curious, and it was safe to be with his master.
Luo Jie said, "Well, Twelve come too." Guo Twelve hurried to his side. It feels good to be sheltered, even if he is a third generation, he likes this feeling very much.
The path extends from the edge of the pond into the woods, through the woods, a stone wall appears, and continues along the stone wall, and soon there is a crack in the stone wall, and the path disappears at the crack. Xiaofeng quickly sank into the crack. For a moment, he stuck out half of his head and waved, "No danger, come in!"
Several people got in through the cracks in the rock, and there was a valley not far away. After a few steps, Luo Jie stopped and asked, "Is that a house?"
Guo Twelve saw a roof, it was a thatched roof. He said, "It's a thatched cottage!"
Soon everyone could clearly see the simple thatched hut. There was a bamboo fence outside the thatched hut. A group of chickens were chatting for food, and it felt like they were in a paradise.
Standing outside the bamboo fence, Qi Nanshan asked, "Is there anyone?"
A voice came from the thatched hut: "Come in, who are you?" A person came out of the thatched hut.
It was a very handsome young man, he looked a little weak, the outline of his face was very soft, his eyes were deep and steady, not like the eyes of a young man at all, there was no blood, no passion, but reason and wisdom. It's a strange feeling. He was dressed in a grey robe with a pale yellow ribbon tied around his waist.
Luo Jie said: "Excuse me, we are people passing by here, hehe, it is fate to meet, so come to visit."
The man smiled and said, "The hut is simple. If you are not afraid of neglect, please come in and have a cup of tea."
Guo Shishi was moved, because he had never seen anyone drinking tea in Beifumen, and no one had even mentioned tea. In this secret realm, a young man said that he wanted to invite everyone to drink a cup of tea, which made him a little excited. , how does this person know about tea
Luo Jie cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me." A few people followed the young man into the thatched hut, and after entering, it turned out to be another world. It looked like a very simple thatched cottage from the outside, but it was completely different inside. The white jade floor and the snow-white walls also became very large. In the middle of the room was a large animal skin with a white jade case on it.
The man smiled and asked everyone to sit down, and said, "Introduce myself, my surname is Li, Li Ran."
Luo Jie also gave his first and last name. Li Ran was obviously very interested in Guo Twelve, and said, "Twelve is only nine years old? Well, very good qualifications."
Li Ran swiped on the white jade case, and a set of glass tea sets appeared, the same shape as the tea set Guo Shishi had seen in his previous life, a pot with six cups. Luo Jie had never seen such a tea set before and asked, "What is this? It's very delicate."
Guo Shishi said: "This is a tea set, a tool for drinking tea."
Li Ran was surprised: "Do you know the tea set?" He took out a piece of tea and asked, "Do you know what kind of tea this is?"
Guo Twelve brought it over, put it under his nose and sniffed it lightly, and said, "This should be fermented tea - black tea, I don't know if you're right?"
Li Ran was even more curious and said, "That's right, this is black tea, this is Anton black tea, hehe, I didn't expect to meet a little tea friend. Since you know what tea it is, will you make tea?"
In his previous life, Guo Shishi was a tea drinker. Although he was not very proficient, he still knew how to use ordinary techniques. He took out a piece of tea, rinsed it with boiling water first, and then poured out the water. This is tea washing, in order to remove the impurities and bitterness of the tea leaves. Then he calmly poured it into the boiling water and soaked it for a while before pouring the tea into the cup. , smiled: "Okay, hehe, that's what I understand about making tea."
Li Ran smiled and said, "Yes, it looks good, come here, please drink." He held up a cup and gestured to everyone.
Guo Twelve was addicted to tea in his previous life, he was not humble, he picked up the cup, drank it in one sip, smacked his lips, and said in surprise, "This tea is really good, with a hint of orchid fragrance... The taste is also good, mellow and sweet, and the color of the tea soup is red. Bright, so nice…”
Li Ran was extremely surprised. Only an old tea customer could say this. Luo Jie and the others took a sip, the expressions on their faces were very strange, and at a glance, they knew that they had never touched tea. The intoxication on Guo Shishi's face was definitely not disguised, it was a joy from the heart.
Guo Twelve asked, "Brother Li, do you have any other tea?"
Li Ran laughed and said, "Brother Li? Hehe, I have lived for almost 600 years, and it is very interesting to be called eldest brother by your nine-year-old... Woolen cloth."
Luo Jie and the others were suddenly dumbfounded, six hundred years! It's too scary.
Guo Shishi didn't believe it at all, he said, "Brother Li, don't be ridiculous, you are much younger than my master, how could you live to be six hundred years old..."
However, Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan believed that they knew that there were mysterious reclusive masters in the secret realm, and they seldom appeared in front of people. Even if they did, people would not recognize them. This person must be a reclusive master.
Luo Jie said, "Twelve, don't be rude."
Li Ran waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, this little guy is very interesting. I have quite a lot of tea, can you recognize it?" He wiped it casually, and three silver jars appeared. It is best to use a silver can or a tin can to encapsulate the tea. In fact, the best is to use a gold can, but it is too extravagant to use a gold can.
Guo Shishi picked up a silver jar and opened it only to find that the inner layer was gilded. He smelled the smell a little, and said in surprise: "Haha, oolong tea? That's right, it's oolong... No, um, I can't say... But it must be oolong tea."
Li Ran stared at Guo Shishi and said, "You actually know about oolong tea, huh, it's beyond my expectations... Don't look at the rest, I know you'll be able to recognize it."
Guo Shishi wondered in his heart, "Could this person be someone from a previous life, who came from his hometown... hometown?" He didn't dare to ask, nor did he want to ask. Li Ran didn't say anything, just glanced at him thoughtfully, and became obviously close to Guo Twelve.
Luo Jie didn't care why Guo Twelve knew so much about tea, he said, "Li..." For a while he didn't know how to address Li Ran.
Li Ran was very free and easy, and said, "Just call me Li Ran."
Luo Jie smiled and asked, "Li Ran, may I ask... Where do you go out from this mountain range?"
Li Ran smiled and said, "You guys came from the Dead Land? You're really lucky."
