In the small pavilion of Ju’an, in addition to a jar of Ji Yuan’s wine, there are braised noodles with offal, jujube cake made by Zao Niang, and a plate of jujubes to accompany the wine.
There are nine dates in this small plate, each one has a faint fiery red luster, and is surrounded by spiritual energy, as if hidden in fiery red mist.
Lao Long was not polite. Like Ji Yuan, he mixed the marinade and ate the noodles. He put some offal into his mouth, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
“Hiss…”
Drinking this worldly intoxication brought endless memories to the mind of the old dragon. From the humble beginning of hard training to the step-by-step transformation, the dragon’s life had its ups and downs, hardships and wonderful moments. The more profound the memory, the taste of the wine. The richer the wine is, the more bland the wine tastes but the aroma is even better, with all the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy in it.
“Good wine, endless aftertaste!”
“That’s natural.”
The two of them reached out to pick up the jujube, and Ji Yuan took a bite of it. Immediately, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. The extremely delicious jujube meat chewed out a spiritual energy like endless juice. Every inch of the fruit pulp passed by, as if it was opening in the mouth and internal organs. A piece of spiritual spring, the sound of the wind and clouds of heaven and earth echoed in my heart.
Old Long was not in a hurry to eat, but just looked at the jujube carefully.
“There are very few people who know this fruit, very few people who can see this fruit, and even fewer people who can taste this fruit. This is the Xuanling Fire Date in the legend of the Three Realms today. It takes eight hundred years to mature.”
Ji Yuan turned to look at Zao Niang aside, who smiled and spoke.
“The rumors spoken by Lord Long are correct or not. Although the jujube fruits in the tree are all red, there are only a hundred or so that can be called Xuanling. If it is normal and grows naturally from the original tree, it may not be possible for two thousand years. It can be matured, but if I am willing, I can make it mature by absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth, the energy of wind and clouds, the essence of sun and moon, and a hundred years of hard work.”
Ji Yuan tapped the cup with chopsticks, glanced at Lao Long, Lu Shanjun, Hu Yun and Zao Niang, and said very seriously.
“Well, if there is a chance in the future, I will say it will be two thousand years.”
“Hahahahaha…”
Old Long was also amused. He stuffed the jujube into his mouth and chewed it. In terms of deliciousness, there were few in the world that could compare with it.
After finishing a date, Old Long sighed with emotion.
“I didn’t expect that the Tomb of Infinite Swords was not built by Mr. Ji, but by the Ivy Sword himself.”
Lu Shanjun, who was holding the noodle bowl, swallowed the noodles in his mouth and explained at this moment.
“When the world was first settled, Master almost exhausted all his energy. However, the heaven and earth swallowed up the power of the ancient homeland. The transformation of heaven and earth began. The ancient homeland continued to disintegrate, and a lot of violence in the silence was also revealed. After less than a hundred years of silence, the world was in chaos again. , at this time, we have already lost the news of our master, but the Ivy Sword appears next to us and the unscrupulous descendants, and its edge has been at Wuliang Mountain for decades.”
Hu Yun quickly took over the conversation.
“I know, I know. That year in Wuliang Mountain, Sister Bai used the power of the Ivy Sword to actually use the power of Sir’s Heavenly Qing Sword, beheading the wild beast in one fell swoop, and then the sword fell. After that, the Ivy Sword stayed there. Sister Bai stayed on that mountain peak for a long time but could not recall the Ivy Sword. I had a feeling at that time that Mr. Ji would not come back for a long time. ”
Ji Yuan drank all the wine in the cup, and his confused eyes seemed to look into the distance through thousands of mountains and rivers, towards the ten thousand-foot high peak that resembled a long sword in Wuliang Mountain.
“What happened to the world at that time is no longer Ji’s business. I just realized that my end was approaching, so I prepared some backup plans. I only left my sword will to guard my body for a hundred years.”
Old Long sneered.
“Hey, luckily they have been guarding for more than a hundred years, otherwise you might not have woken up.”
“Yeah, I’m not dead. How bad would it be to think that those people who hate me to the core know this?”
Ji Yuan also joked.
Lu Shanjun’s face was serious, and Zao Niang’s face was not very good-looking either.
“If Master really passed away, but I, Mr. Lu Shan, never saw him for the last time, wouldn’t I really have become an unscrupulous person?”
“Sir!”
Old Long also drank all the wine in the glass and sighed while helping Ji Yuan to save himself.
“First of all, Mr. Ji couldn’t bear the sadness of those close to us. Secondly, Mr. Ji’s name was enough to suppress Yu Nei at that time. No matter what evildoers there were, the name Ji Yuan was deep in their hearts. It is understandable that he would quietly find a place to ‘sleep’ due to his demonic obstacles.”
“It can be considered as living in your hearts.”
After Ji Yuan said this, he just picked up a piece of bad food and wanted to put it into his mouth, but his wrist was grabbed by Lao Long. The latter used great force, as if he wanted to crush Ji Yuan’s wrist, and even closer to his face. whispered.
“Ji Yuan, you better let us know next time you are going to die, otherwise some people will really keep waiting!”
Zao Niang picked up the jug and poured wine for Ji Yuan and Lao Long, and said something quietly.
“So what if you know?”
Lao Long glanced at Zao Niang, sighed and let go.
“The changes in the earth’s veins, the chaos of evil spirits, the contention of hundreds of schools of thought, the rise of the heavens, and the coexistence of the three realms… In just six or seven hundred years, so many things have happened in the world. As the saying goes, the times create heroes, and the stormy years accelerate , how many talented people have appeared, and how many once glorious things have come and gone. After so many things, your name, Mr. Ji, has completely faded out of the sight of ordinary people.”
Old Long looked at Ji Yuan with a smile.
“I know you will say that you can’t ask for it, but if you think that no one remembers you, you are wrong. Whether it is the top ones in the world, or the great sects of immortals and Buddhas, as long as they are inherited from that era , the people in charge must know about you. On the contrary, among the gods in the heaven today, very few people know your name. It’s interesting to say that some masters in the heaven and earth sometimes use this to mock the gods in the heaven who are just newborns. Calf…”
Lao Long talked about Ji Yuan’s story, and Ji Yuan also found it interesting. Well, his name also created a chain of contempt.
Two old friends have not seen each other for many years. One wants to hear and the other wants to talk. Although Lao Long is not a person who likes to listen to gossip everywhere, after all, after so many years, there is not enough to talk about for days and nights.
When Hu Yun went out to return the bowl, he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue outside the door. He didn’t see Lao Long many times, but he also knew that Mr. Ying Long was the kind of silent and dignified person. Today he was simply a talker.
‘Sure enough, Mr. Ji is amazing. ’
Thinking about this, Hu Yun had already walked out of the Ju’an Pavilion, and happened to bump into a man wandering nearby. This man looked slightly rich, had a rosy face, and had a mustache. His clothes were not gorgeous but well-made. and materials are extremely sophisticated.
Hu Yun’s appearance was like walking out of an alley hazy. Ordinary people would just ignore it, but this middle-aged man noticed Hu Yun and was slightly startled.
Hu Yun glanced at the man and left with the food box. The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered for a while and he quickly chased after him.
“Do you think this girl is a practitioner?”
“So be it.”
Hu Yun’s steps were very fast. Although he was walking slowly, he approached the Tianniu Square entrance at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, and the man could easily keep up.
“The girl is holding a food box in her hand, but she is staying in this house?”
“My surname is Wei, my ancestral home is Desheng Prefecture, and I often come to Ning’an County. I am very familiar with this place. I wonder who this girl is?”
Hu Yun ignored everyone and quickly walked to the Sun’s noodle stall. There were no customers in the stall at the moment, and Sun’s father was not there. He didn’t know where he went. Sun Yiqiu was the only one looking at the stall. Hu Yun was about to eat The box was placed on a table and he said hello casually.
“I’ve finished eating, come and clean up.”
“Okay.”
Sun Yiqiu came over quickly, opened the food box and took out the bowls and chopsticks.
The man next to him looked at the dishes and then at the noodle stall, and spoke again with a smile.
“Isn’t the girl from Ning’an County? I heard that the former residence of the ancient literary sage is in Tianniufang, but it has disappeared long ago due to the passage of time.”
Hu Yun still ignored the man. Sun Yiqiu on the side approached Hu Yun and asked in a low voice.
“Girl, are you being harassed by a prostitute? Do you want me to call the Yamen for you?”
“No need.”
Hu Yun collected the change, picked up the food box and turned around to leave. The man wanted to catch up with him, but when Hu Yun crossed the Tianniufang arch gate in a few steps, Hu Yun disappeared in front of his eyes. It seems that what I am following is nothing but air.
“What a clever deception!”
The man frowned and quickly returned to the noodle stall the next moment. At this moment, Sun Yiqiu was about to wash the bowl of clean noodles.
“Wait!”
“Huh?”
The man hurried to Sun Yiqiu, grabbed a stack of used bowls while Sun Yiqiu was in a daze, came closer and smelled them gently, and after a few breaths, he took away the two bowls on top and went I smelled the bowl in the middle carefully, and then took out a pair of chopsticks and smelled it.
This scene made Sun Yiqiu a little hairy. This guy must be sick. Not only is he a pervert, he is also a pervert!
The man had a look of surprise on his face. There was a faint but very special fragrance on the bowl. He turned sideways and looked at the sky, thinking of the scene of dark clouds before, and his heart trembled slightly.
Amber!
Ambergris is a nice-sounding term. To put it bluntly, it is the saliva of the Lord of the Waters. It is also the saliva of a real dragon. It exudes a strange fragrance. Very few people in the world recognize ambergris, but men can distinguish it by its subtle smell. come out.
After coming up with this guess, he took out a tael of silver and slapped it on the table.
“I bought this bowl of chopsticks.”
Before he finished speaking, the man had already taken the bowls and chopsticks and left quickly. Sun Yiqiu’s eyes widened when he saw it. It was really weird.
Just when Sun Yiqiu picked up the silver and looked up again, he suddenly found that the man just now was standing almost face to face in front of him, which made Sun Yiqiu tremble violently
“Ouch——”
“My guest, aren’t you leaving…”
Sun Yiqiu looked at the other side of the street. The man had already run away just now, but why did he suddenly come back to him? He was really scared.
The man was looking Sun Yiqiu up and down. Find Shuyuan www.ｽhaoshuyuａ.com
“Brother, the shopkeeper, your aura is turbid and seems to be stirred up by the wind and clouds. I’m afraid you will be involved in something big in the near future!”
The man glanced in the direction of Tianniufang, thought for a moment, took out a yellow tips bag from his arms and handed it to Sun Yiqiu.
“Inside this kit is a charm, which contains a blessing copper coin. It may help you at a critical moment. Don’t lose it, and don’t show it to others easily. Just hide it close to you.”
“Spell?”
Sun Yiqiu took the bag and looked down, then opened the seal and looked inside. Sure enough, it was a folded charm, and what was wrapped inside should be the so-called blessing copper coins.
“Sir, this… eh?”
After such a long time, only a small figure of the man was left in the distance on the street. Sun Yiqiu looked up and down the brocade bag again and found small characters embroidered on one side, and he couldn’t help but read it aloud.
“The clouds and mountains are surrounded by mist, and you can see the turbidity and clarity of the heaven and earth.”
