In the elegant room of a teahouse, Luo Zhang held a cup of tea in his hand and sat down on a plain wicker chair, but his face looked very uneasy. Sometimes he lowered his head and murmured to himself, and sometimes he couldn't help but whisper.
Sighing, frowning, looking sad.
Even his originally dark face had aged a lot, with many wrinkles and fine lines appearing between the skin and flesh.
After dozens of breaths, Luo Zhang finally couldn't bear it any longer.
He stood up from the wicker chair so violently, leaned out of the screen, raised his head and looked at the array from a distance, then pulled his neck back in frustration and continued to sigh.
And the way he was pacing back and forth and sighing made the other person in this elegant room stare at him for a long time, and finally he couldn't help but persuade him.
"Junior Brother Luo, Junior Brother Luo, don't be impatient. When is it now, noon? It's just noon!"
Hao Qingyan, who was still wearing the purple robe, slowly moved the teacup, took a sip, looked at Luo Zhang, and then said helplessly:
"Since Senior Brother Chen has agreed to you, what is his identity? How could he break your promise for nothing! You are so restless and unable to calm down. If Senior Brother Chen sees you, won't you be looking down upon you?
Besides, this also means you have lost your usual identity..."
I felt the spiritual energy rushing to all the acupuncture points, and even felt a slight tingling sensation, like a needle pricking me. I felt happy, and I hurriedly moved the Xuan Gong silently and began to refine it.
"This boy! How can he be so stingy? How big is my belly, Hao Cai, how much can I eat from you?!"
Under the control of Huashen Mansion and Wuguang Sect, not a single person of this generation was left, and all of them were imprisoned. Even those who were not in the Fuyubo area when the incident occurred, but were traveling out, could not escape.
But there are some differences between what Hao Qingyan had in mind. Although Chen Heng received the folding fan as a gift from Xie Tan, he was not yet a master and disciple.
Chen Heng said:
"The banquet has been completed. I have stayed in Fuyubo for a long time, and it is time to return."
"I wonder what kind of friendship Senior Brother Chen has with the alchemist at Huashen Mansion, and how he was able to win his favor. It's really admirable."
Luo Zhang on the side sighed again and said with waning interest:
"Now Master... Huaiwu Cave Master has been executed. The brothers who were infected by the demon were immediately killed by the Jindan Master of the Yuchen sect. The rest, like me, are all people with low qualifications.
, how can we support such a huge business?"
At this point, Hao Qingyan raised his eyes and glared at Luo Zhang fiercely.
Since Sima Lingzhen summoned all the Dongxuan refiners to confront him two days ago, he was determined to eliminate any signs of the demon that might have been missed.
The reason for successfully rescuing Luo Zhang was also because of Wanli's talisman. Xie Tan specially summoned him during these two days and inquired about him.
"There are still some spiritual wine and fruits left in it that have not been eaten up. How can we be so luxurious? I will go and put them away."
Hao Qingyan originally tried to persuade him with the intention of building a relationship with him.
The cup had just bottomed out, and Hao Qingyan was busy filling it again.
When Hao Qingyan and Luo Zhang, who were chatting, saw him entering, they hurriedly stood up to greet him with very respectful expressions.
Therefore, seeing that Chen Heng always looked calm, Luo Zhang was actually very panicked, fearing that he would be unhappy because of his great disappointment, take his anger out on himself, and cause the trouble of killing him.
Hao Qingyan cursed angrily in his heart, but kept moving his hands. Although the mosquito was small, it was still more or less flesh.
Luo Zhang couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his eyes, he raised his sleeves to cover his face and said:
"It's about to end..."
If the soul is injured and is not fully healed in time, it would be nothing more than a dream to achieve success in spiritual practice in the future.
Secondly, the various sects just took this opportunity to eliminate the disciples of the Huaiwu lineage, and justifiably divided up all the wealth and the land of Fuyubo.
"Thank you so much, Brother Luo Dao, for this picture scroll. I will be going into the abyss soon. With this thing in my body, I feel a little more confident. It would be rude of Heng to seize the thing left by my ancestor.
If you are lucky enough to escape from the abyss of the earth, I will return it with both hands."
now.
I saw a ray of pure white light disappearing without any trace, and instantly entered the sky without a trace.
Hao Qingyan impatiently drank the remaining wine in his glass, then quickly filled it up again, not forgetting to top it up for Chen Heng.
Now this is how it is done.
Taking another sip of tea, the spiritual energy rolled down the throat into the internal organs, and then melted in the limbs and bones, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.
Luo Zhang's lament moved Hao Qingyan's face.
"Could it be that Senior Brother wants to join the Flower God Mansion to cultivate Taoism? If so, it will be a great blessing! If Senior Brother becomes successful in the future, don't forget the friendship with Lao Hao in his later years.
Although Luo Zhang's qualifications are not obvious, he is not valued in the Huaiwu lineage.
Chen Heng stretched out his hand to take it and spread it out, scanning it with his eyes, his heart moved slightly.
He just kept urging him to drink, drinking one glass after another like a cow. Luo Zhang's eyes twitched and his heart was bleeding.
He called in several more tea masters and replaced the tea with another pot.
Luo Zhang smiled bitterly when he heard this, managed to calm down, shook his head and said:
"If it hadn't been for Senior Brother Chen's outspoken words, not to mention his wealth and wealth over the years, even his life would have been conveniently taken away by the adults of the Flower God Mansion. Senior Brother Chen has been kind to me, and I can't see this Luo.
How can I feel at ease when my reborn parents don’t pay tribute to him and call him my little brother?”
He originally thought that he would not be able to escape this misfortune, and when he was in constant panic, unexpectedly no one came to catch him.
"Senior Brother Chen, this is exactly the drawing that our ancestors drew after returning from the abyss of the earth. It is precisely for senior brother to evaluate it with his eyes!"
…
While the two were sitting opposite each other and chatting, with the sound of footsteps, a tall and tall Taoist with the color of jade, who was extremely handsome, came in from the screen.
And not far away,
Luo Zhang stared speechless for a moment.
"No need! No need!"
"Junior brother Luo, why is this so! You managed to survive with great difficulty. You just have to pick yourself up. How can you lose your character?"
Luo Zhang was surprised and happy. He took a few steps back and waved his hands repeatedly:
Firstly, it is to follow the will of the real person Jin Dan and get rid of any fish that may have slipped through the net.
It’s no wonder that he and Luo Zhang are acting like this.
All his wealth had been lost, and most of his life had been taken away.
This refiner did not want to offend Ai Jian's face, and he had to wait until he could come out of the abyss alive before he could make any explanation.
Today, Luo Zhang also invited Hao Qingyan to accompany him. He specially invited Chen Heng to the elegant room of this teahouse to express his gratitude in person.
As time went by, seeing that Chen Heng's face always had a calm expression, Luo Zhang on the side immediately felt a little uncomfortable standing, and could hardly help but reach out to wipe away the sweat.
As for those Huaiwu disciples who were imprisoned, their family property was first confiscated, and then their souls were searched and tortured by people from various sects.
Hao Qingyan, who came to see him off, sighed, clapped his hands, and turned back toward the teahouse.
Hao Qingyan thought to himself.
There are no records of heavenly materials or earthly treasures, and there are no mezzanine abnormalities inside.
After saying this, he took out a yellowed picture scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Heng:
He survived by chance thanks to Chen Heng's words in front of Xie Tan. So as soon as he learned the news, he asked Hao Qingyan to invite him several times, but he was repeatedly declined and was not allowed to meet.
However, the elixirs and magical materials that can heal the soul and replenish the soul have always been the most precious things, and only the high-level masters of Zifu can have such a wealth. Ordinary foundation building and Qi training are helpless.
"Then I accepted it rudely. As for what Heng said in front of Master Xie Tan, Heng just mentioned it casually. It was just to repay the kindness of senior brother for giving me a house that day, so there is no need to worry too much about it.
This was said in a very flattering way, and it was as flattering as possible.
At this time, a laughing voice suddenly sounded in the young Taoist's ears.
After a while, seeing that Luo Zhang was already half drunk, Chen Heng put down the tea cup, cupped his hands and smiled slightly, saying:
"Brother Luo Dao, I wonder if you can allow me to take a look at the picture scroll you mentioned earlier?"
Chen Heng also bowed his hands and smiled lightly.
But my family knows their own affairs...
With a smile on his face, he asked tentatively:
Chen Heng suddenly put the scroll into his sleeve, then nodded and said with a smile:
His eyes were gleaming, as if they were holding two sharp swords. Just looking at them made people's eyes sting, but in the fluttering sleeves and swaggering robes, he also had the posture of a heavenly deity.
, came out of the dust.
"How's it going? You've been watching this guy for a long time, but are you still interested?"
According to what Hao Qingyan heard, all the real demons had been killed on the spot by Sima Lingzhen.
After being greeted, the three of them sat down as guests and hosts.
Under the noise of Hao Qingyan, Luo Zhang raised his hand and drank the full cup of jade liquid in one gulp. When the bottom of the cup lit up, there was another round of applause.
After that, he exchanged a few polite words with the two of them and then left.
Even though Hao Qingyan has been working hard in the business field for many years, he prides himself on being extremely smooth and can express his emotions and anger, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sneer.
Manager Hao, you are out of the storm now, so you can be leisurely and relaxed, but my little brother, I am really in the fire and water, and I will be burned to ashes if I am not careful."
Luo Zhang also felt that he had made a mistake at this moment, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only laugh in response.
The first to bear the brunt of the disaster were the surviving disciples of Huaiwu Cave Master.
When he was restless.
After Hao Qingyan's kind words of comfort, Luo Zhang finally managed to put away his sad expression, bowed his hands and sat back on the wicker chair.
But if you wait until you have passed the soul search, you will be released without charge.
Downstairs at the teahouse.
Luo Zhang grabbed him.
"The real master is not here, so what's the use of being humble and petty? Isn't it just showing your charming eyes to a blind man?"
Halfway through the banquet, Luo Zhang, who was already a little drunk, raised his glass to Chen Heng and said sincerely:
"If Senior Brother Chen hadn't spoken uprightly in front of Master Xie Tan of Huashen Mansion, I would never have survived. I give you this cup, so do it first as a token of respect!"
He just nodded with a smile, raised his sleeves and drank it all in one gulp, his mouth couldn't help but smack twice.
But after all, he had also sat and listened to the master of Huaiwu Cave, and he was a disciple of this Dongxuan master.
…
However, the time to enter the abyss of the earth was approaching, and Chen Heng had already made up his mind to leave. He wanted to take advantage of the remaining time to return to Yangshan Mountain and practice some cultivation in order to make further progress in his meritorious deeds.
It's just Zhang Xunping's ordinary geographical map, by no means a valuable treasure.
Just when he was lost in thought, almost completely forgetting himself, a hand suddenly stretched out and pressed the silver clay teapot.
"Everyone in the Huaiwu lineage is calling for beatings now. I'm afraid that in a few days..."
Soon the waiter in the teahouse brought over a cup of melon and fruit tea, as well as two jars of fine wine. Under the deliberate compliments of Hao Qingyan and Luo Zhang, the atmosphere became lively for a while.
Only when you really don't know the truth will you be released.
If you can catch up with one of these two, not to mention skyrocketing, your business will undoubtedly be much smoother in the future.
Although Hao Qingyan encountered a soft nail, he was not depressed.
Say it.
Hao Qingyan took another sip.
"Moreover..."
Similarly, a young Taoist looked away from the sky, looked at the branch of wild flowers in his hand, shook his head slightly, and his mood dimmed.
Come! Come! Hao, let’s have another drink and do it first as a token of respect!”
"Manager Hao, I've drank too much tea and I'm so full of ideas that I'm afraid my stomach will feel uncomfortable. Why don't you wait for a while and try something else?"
I saw that Luo Zhang no longer sighed at this time, only focused on himself, and laughed sarcastically.
"Manager Hao, the banquet is over, what are you going back to do?"
Luo Zhang was startled at first, until he was pushed quietly by Hao Qingyan, and then he stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Chen Heng only smiled but said nothing, and did not explain his relationship with Xie Tan.
…
After inquiring, it was found that Chen Heng had been to Baoju Zhai several times and was barely acquainted with Hao Qingyan, the manager of Baoju Zhai, at least he recognized his name and face.
“How can people feel at ease when a disaster strikes from heaven?
When I plucked up the courage to inquire, I found out that Chen Heng had mentioned his name in front of Xie Tan of Huashen Mansion, so he was lucky enough to be pardoned.
Hao Qingyan stroked his beard and smiled:
"It's also good to keep it as an evening snack!"
…
If it weren't for Xie Tan's call and the scroll of drawings of the abyss in Luo Zhang's hand, he would have driven away the clouds long ago, and why would he be wasting his time here again.
Under a weeping willow.
"I've been waiting for a long time, and I've met two fellow Taoists."
…
"Senior Brother Chen."
Although the new tea that was brought in also had a different fragrance, the spiritual energy in it was much lighter and turbid.
He hurriedly put the tea cup away and said softly to comfort him, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of things in his heart.
This Huaiwu lineage can be considered truly finished...
Hao Qingyan looked up without knowing why.
Today's business in Fuyubofang City was divided between the two behemoths, Wuguang Sect and Huashenfu, after the death of Huaiwu Cave Master. The remaining sects could only follow behind and eat scraps.
"Junior Brother Luo is really bleeding from what happened. The tea is actually a rare pekoe tea. This pot alone costs ten talisman coins! It's so hard to give it up!"
This drawing only depicts some landforms, mixed with some narration and annotations left by ancestor Luo Zhang, and is only for viewing.
After the incident, Chen Heng specifically mentioned it.
It wasn't until Hao Qingyan accidentally revealed during a conversation that Luo Zhang's ancestors had been generous, and that his ancestors had gone into the abyss of the earth once, and even left drawings for future generations, then Chen Heng was moved, and that's how he got what he is today. banquet.
He hurriedly moved the white porcelain tea cup to his face and brought it to his lips. His two big sleeves were lowered, covering his smiling expression.
"This picture scroll is just an ordinary thing, not a treasure. I had a lot of rubbings made and sold back then. Senior brother just accepted it. There is no need-"
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
"It seems that Senior Brother Chen is quite tight-lipped. We were unable to find out the exact relationship between him and the alchemist from the Flower God Mansion. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
"I'm sorry, I'm so rude. I'm really drunk. I'm laughing!"
…
"It's okay."
The young Taoist looked at the arrogant flower in his hand and said to himself:
"It's a pity that I no longer have the master-disciple relationship with me."
