It was rare that Jiang Shuiyou was not carving a memorial tablet, but making tea. There was a black coffee table in front of him, with a small stove on it. There was an iron kettle on the stove, and there were six small black teacups next to it.
Ning Xiangruo glanced at the old man, then looked at the surrounding spiritual tablets. Naturally, she saw that her master's spiritual tablet was not placed on the spiritual tablet in front of the divine case. Master Jingshui was not qualified to do so. The one in front of her was
They are the spiritual positions of the heads of the Cangyun Sect and the leaders of each lineage in the past, like Master Jingshui.
Although the spiritual tablets of elders of this level after death can be enshrined in the ancestral hall, they can only be placed on the sides according to their seniority.
After offering three sticks of incense to his master and all the ancestors, Ning Xiangruo turned around and said, "Old man, did you see a figure passing by this place?" Jiang Shuiyou smiled and said, "This place is the place where ghosts return, usually.
Very few people come here, and there is no one there. Miss Ning, I remember you. The first time you came here must have been forty-five years ago. It was with your master. At that time, you had just received the Cang
From the inner disciples of Yunmen
Identity is iron-clad, Miss Ruan will bring you here to pay homage to the ancestor."
Ning Xiangruo said: "The old man has a really good memory. It has been exactly forty-five years since I became an inner disciple, and I have forgotten all about it."
Jiang Shuiyou said: "Because there are few people here, I remember it clearly. Miss Ning, please sit down and have a drink. Your master, Miss Ruan, was a master of tea art during her lifetime. I have always admired her."
After losing sight of the man in black, the old man guarding the ancestral hall mentioned his mentor again, and Ning Xiangruo sat on the futon in front of Jiang Shuiyou.
Looking at the blackened tea, Ning Xiangruo's eyes showed a look of pain.
Southern Xinjiang black tea.
The person who poisoned me in the first place was the one who injected three thirds of it into the southern black tea that the master drank.
Jiang Shuiyu said: "There are not many people in Cangyun Sect who drink this kind of tea. This kind of tea has a strong bitter taste and few people like it. Your master only started drinking it in the past few decades. Only those who have experienced the vicissitudes of life can understand it."
All the bitterness comes out of the tea."
Ning Xiangruo reached out and took the small bowl of tea handed over by Jiang Shuiyu. She did not drink the tea immediately, but sniffed it, and then took a small sip.
The taste is indeed solemn. When you first enter your mouth, it feels like you have bitten a snake gall. The bitter taste rushes from your mouth to Tianling Gai, and then flows through your internal organs.
When the master was still alive, Ning Xiangruo drank it several times and didn't like the bitter taste. She liked to drink scented tea when she was young. As she got older, she started drinking Biluochun. She was not used to drinking this kind of strong tea that directly stimulates the five internal organs.
Seeing Ning Xiangruo's frown, Jiang Shuiyou suddenly laughed a few times and said: "You are still too young after all. In a few hundred years, you may be able to understand the true meaning of this Southern Xinjiang black tea."
, just like your master."
Ning Xiangruo said: "It's a pity that the master died tragically at the hands of the villain from Qianmianmen, otherwise the master would have become tea friends with the old man."
Jiang Shuiyou sipped the black tea gently and said: "The reason why the Thousand Faces Clan is difficult to deal with is because they can change in many ways. It's not as simple as wearing a human skin mask. Their disguise skills are almost as good as those of the White Fox Clan's Thousand Faces."
Comparable to a demon fox."
Ning Xiangruo did not deny that Liujin Yanfen's disguise technique was something he had learned before. It was truly amazing and impeccable, with almost no flaws found. This was Liujin Yanfen's biggest reliance on being able to live an upright life in Cangyun Sect.
Jiang Shuiyou continued: "Actually, there are flaws in any technique. If you want to find the flaws in the Thousand Faces Sect, you have to go back to the source."
“Trace your roots?”
"Do you know where the Thousand Faces Gate was born?"
Ning Xiangruo shook his head, looked at the haggard old man in front of him in surprise, and said: "Please give me some advice." Jiang Shuiyou said: "The Thousand Faces Gate has appeared many times in the world. Six thousand years ago, it was called the Fantasy Gate. It has been around for more than 10,000 years.
It used to be called the Ten Thousand Faces Sect, which means that one person can transform into ten thousand people. The appearance and voice can be imitated so vividly that even the closest relatives can't see the flaws. But the Thousand Faces Sect is not like that.
There are no flaws. They have two biggest flaws, one of which is their skeleton."
"skeleton?"
"Yes, bones and disguise are only superficial and cannot change the characteristics of a person's bones. In other words, it is absolutely impossible for a fat person to disguise himself as a thin person, and it is absolutely impossible for a tall person to disguise himself as a short person."
Ning Xiangruo's eyes gradually brightened. Yes, this old man had indeed hit the point. Why hadn't he thought of it before?
She pondered for a while and said, "I wonder what the second flaw in the Thousand Faces Sect is?"
Jiang Shuiyou said: "Fengfu and Fengchi, these two acupoints are the key to disguise, and they are also a taboo for people who are disguised. Others must not touch them. If you want to test whether others are disguised, the simplest and most direct way is
The method is to tap their Fengfu and Fengchi acupoints."
Ning Xiangruo stood up suddenly, looked at Jiang Shuiyou in surprise, and said, "Is this true? How do you know the secrets of these Thousand Faces Sect?" Jiang Shuiyou grinned and said, "I just heard about it, as to whether it is true or not.
, it’s up to you. As for why I heard about this secret, it’s because I’ve lived too long. Old people will always know some things that you young people don’t know. It’s not surprising. To the north of the ancestral hall is a
Bamboo Forest, you can go and have a look, the people inside will be helpful to you in tracking down the person who killed the master. I have a great connection with the Shushan lineage, and I don’t want to see the descendants of Shushan disturbed by the remnants of Qianmianmen.
It's full of smoke, go ahead, go to the bamboo forest, remember the way to enter the bamboo forest is left
Right left, left left, left left left, right right left.”
Ning Xiangruo stared at the river for a long time, then raised her hands and said, "I don't know your senior's surname?"
Jiangshuiyoudao: "Jiangshuiyu."
Walking out of the ancestral hall, you can see a bamboo forest covered with snow in the distance to the north. This place is extraordinary. Most people don't know the secret of the bamboo forest. How could Ning Xiangruo not know?
Some senior elders of Cangyun Sect are living in seclusion there, but Qimen Dunjia has been arranged in the bamboo forest, making it difficult for people who are not proficient in magic circle to break in.
Ning Xiangruo didn't know why, but she believed the words of the old man named Jiang Shuiyou for no reason, and did not have any doubts about the method of entering the bamboo forest.
She didn't know that after she left the ancestral hall, a tall figure slowly walked out from behind the yellow curtain. He was dressed in a dark green Taoist robe, with a long beard hanging down his chest. He stood casually with an aura of calmness and authority.
.
If this person is not Jade Jizi, the leader of Cangyun Sect, who is he?
Yu Jizi snorted and said: "My reputation was almost ruined by you. I peeked at a female disciple of the younger generation bathing and spread the word. Where can I put my old face?" Jiang Shuiyou glanced at him and said: "What? You?"
You actually peeked at someone else's little girl taking a shower? I just asked you to lure Miss Ning here, and I didn't let you do such a thing. You are really a shameless person!"
