Huaibei, Linhuan.
Linhuan is a small town with a long history, so named because it is adjacent to Huanshui. There are many famous springs beside the town, and the water and land transportation is convenient. It is only more than 100 miles away from the origin of Lu'an famous tea.
There is an old street more than one mile long in the town. At its peak, there were more than 20 teahouses. Later, it gradually declined, and then gradually rose again. Because of the alienation of Liu'an tea, it has become a rare spiritual tea, which is jointly controlled by the local government and a certain sect, and Linhuan is the only place to pass when coming here from the north.
After the recovery of spiritual energy, more than ten years have passed, and the original small town has been expanded into a small town, but this old street has not changed.
Nange Tea House is a well-known time-honored brand, with a simple and unsophisticated facade, old-style three-door doors, and copper rings inlaid on thick brown wooden boards. Carved latticework through the windows, yellow and old beams, the interior has been smoky for years, and the walls around are black and yellow.
In the past, the people who came to drink tea must be the elderly, but now, young people account for more than half. There is a large teapot and a small teacup in front of each person, and it can be brewed steadily for a day for a small fee. Of course, if you want to drink real spiritual tea, you will have to pay extra.
The production of Lu'an spiritual tea is quite abundant, and besides being sold everywhere every year, there are still some left in the local area—the Nange tea house has long been taken over by the local sect, and it is used as a place for monks to socialize and listen.
But at this moment, on the stage in front of the teahouse, there was no big drum or bangzi opera singing. A gentleman wearing glasses was spitting and telling anecdotes about his practice.
"Nowadays is an information society with advanced information. When you look at your mobile phone or surf the Internet, you will know exactly what happened. So you may have heard what I said. That person said, Why do you still want to put your ass here and listen to the stories of my bad old man who is not even the day after tomorrow? Hey, there is a saying that there is a specialization in art. Everyone here is an expert. If you let you fight, but let you play tricks, You may not be able to do it. I have no other strengths, but I can tell you interesting things that are not very interesting. Of course, if you think it is boring, then don’t blame me, blame you for having a good laugh, hey, don’t Hit me… "
The old man is obviously from the capital, and he has a common north-south accent. It sounds very broken at first, but the more you listen to it, the more interesting it becomes.
He picked up the small teacup, took a sip, cleared his throat, and officially started:
"It's said that three years ago, the heroes gathered in the East China Sea... Hey, just look at the torrential rain, the river toppled the sea, and a green-scaled snake dragon as thick as a water tank swam from the north... This dragon leaped vigorously and crossed the colorful gate, like a blue dragon in the sky. !
Dragon is the essence of heaven and earth, born in response to emotion. The people who get it command the world, and the country gets the people to prosper and the country is strong.
Think about it carefully, my Xia Kingdom has been singing songs all the way since the green dragon appeared in the East China Sea three years ago, and I am proud of the world.
Of course, today is not nostalgia, but to talk about interesting things that happened recently.
Presumably everyone knows that not long ago, the second joint competition just ended, and 300 winners were determined, and elixir pills and various magic weapons were given.
There are more than 100,000 contestants in this competition, Phoenix Mountain and Daoist Temples only account for 200, and the rest are temples, sects and mountain cultivators from all over the world. Some of you here may have personally participated, but as I said earlier, you are good at fighting, and I am good at telling stories.
The world is turbulent and talented people are coming out in large numbers. Who are the rising stars this time? How many bewitching witches and sword celestial beings are there, and how many are lingering and full of love and hatred
Regarding the details of the whole process, I can guarantee that no one knows better than us! "
brush!
He took out a booklet from nowhere, unfolded it, and said, "This is the picture of Baimei and Wanxiu selected by our Tianji Pavilion. If you are interested, we can talk privately..."
Pooh!
A customer at the bottom almost spit out his tea. He heard that the Tianji Pavilion is pervasive and has a keen sense of business, but he didn't expect to keep pace with the times and sell the surroundings
This person is a girl in her teens, just in her youth, dressed in loose casual clothes, with fair skin, calm demeanor, bright black pupils, and an aura that cannot be underestimated—she is actually a congenital monk.
Although innate is not very valuable these days, but considering her age, she must be from a famous family.
In the fourteenth year of the Xianyuan calendar, that is, last year, the government re-edited the "General Book of Cultivation Schools" for the second time, and included 123 schools, and almost every school has a congenital master.
Not to mention the Phoenix Mountain and the Taoist Temple, the mountains and valleys are so innate!
The old man babbled a lot, nothing more than the second joint competition. He is a member of the Huaibei branch of Tianji Pavilion, and he has no cultivation base. He used to be a storyteller, and now he is considered a veteran.
As for Tianji Pavilion, to put it bluntly, it is a cultural media company in the practice world, and its job is marketing.
The girl listened to it for a long time, some of it was exaggerated, but most of it was true. She thought that there were many monks from Tianji Pavilion mixed in during the big competition, not for the competition, but just to collect materials.
The old man talked for a while, then took a sip of tea, and said: "I have heard it before, but the following matter is the latest one, so I don't know much about it. Two hundred miles away from Linhuan, there is Lu'an City. Does the royal family know?"
"Of course I know, the second king of Lu'an, he specializes in tea plantation." Some people cheered from the bottom.
"That's right, the two great kings of Lu'an, Wang Tong in the north of the city, and Yu Wang in the south of the city, are well-known wealthy families in the Huaibei region. However, just this morning, dozens of Wang Yu's family were wiped out!"
Hiss!
The audience was horrified and asked one after another: "When did it happen?"
"Preliminary news, the massacre happened last night, the cause of death was poisoning, the Taoist chief of Taisu Palace and people from the Special Bureau have already arrived..."
When the old man said this, he suddenly shut up.
The people below were all anxious and hurriedly urged, but the old man shook his head, "I don't know the rest, even if I know, I can't tell. We have our own rules when we inquire about the news... come, come, come, the rich will make money, and the ones who don't You can scan the QR code for the money, and I will wait for you for a while... "
I didn't want to mention it on the stage, but the girl was thoughtful, got up, paid the tea money, and walked out of the teahouse.
Out of the teahouse to the south, there is a river flowing and dense forests on both sides. She jumped into the forest as lightly as a suckling swallow, and then used the land volley, with the breeze under her feet, without touching the ground, she ran for a hundred miles in one breath.
When the sky was dark, it finally stopped in front of a mountain.
The mountain was filled with mist, and the surrounding area was blocked, obviously a magic circle was arranged. The woman took out a jade tablet and shook it towards the entrance, the mist parted and engulfed it.
The scenery inside has changed again, with layers of forests connecting small mountains, with a radius of about 200 square kilometers. There are seven or eight peaks, the highest of which is over a thousand meters and the lowest of a hundred meters. They are dry and straight, with prominent edges and corners.
It is made up of black, white, red, blue, and yellow rocks in five colors. There is no grass, and it is barren and strange-apparently it is the place where the five elements meet and crystallize.
At the foot of the mountains, there is a living area and an activity area, and people come and go from time to time.
"Senior Sister An!"
"Senior Sister An!"
The woman's seniority seems to be quite high, and when everyone saw her, they all saluted and said hello. When she walked to the innermost room, she was greeted by a man who came out, and both of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Big brother!"
"Little Junior Sister!"
These two are none other than You Yu and An Susu, the eldest and youngest of the innate generation of Yingyuan Palace in Phoenix Mountain!
