Chapter 154 Returning from Tea Picking in Morning Dew, There is a Blacksmith's Shop
Gu Yusheng, who had been taking a medicine bath overnight, was particularly energetic.
It was about to dawn, and Gu Yusheng was preparing to practice swordsmanship.
But the tea seller got up earlier than him, wore a straw raincoat, a bamboo stick, and found a bamboo basket from the wall that could be hung around his waist and handed it to Gu Yusheng.
"Follow me into the mountain."
The tea seller asked Gu Yusheng to retreat from the big stove and burnt firewood, and asked Gu Yusheng to blow out the oil lamps and candles himself. He was like an old man from a poor family for a long time, using a handful of frost in the morning fog.
The door lock can be locked at any time by someone.
Gu Yusheng didn't ask much.
He followed the tea seller.
After walking three miles along the official road, the tea seller hung the key on the pear branch in front of the winery. He continued to move forward, pushing away the lush reed marsh, and there was a long and narrow boat at the end of the reed marsh.
The tea seller signaled Gu Yusheng to get on the boat first.
He took a bamboo pole for a boat and drifted in the flower stream in a small boat.
The morning breeze is slightly cool, the water surface is foggy like gauze, the boat moves, gently brushing the face, and there are occasional clamors on the quiet water surface.
The boat is facing the current.
Walk deep into the Qingping Mountains.
At first, Gu Yusheng felt that the boat was not fast, but gradually, the shadows of trees on both sides gradually became blurred.
The towering Qingping Mountain is all covered by tall trees on both sides.
When the first ray of light in the morning shone on the distant mountains, Gu Yusheng realized that he was drifting in the deep abyss of Qingping Mountain at this moment.
"Don't look back."
Just when Gu Yusheng wanted to look back and look behind him.
The low voice of the tea seller came from his brain.
Gu Yusheng did as he did.
I don't know how long it took.
He vaguely saw Lingxiao Peak of Qingyun Sect, the demon-suppressing monument!
Far from the sky and near in front of you!
How is this possible!
Gu Yusheng's pupils shrank slightly.
I feel like I must have read it wrong.
He traveled from Qingyunmen to Qingyun Town in one day, from Qingyun Town to Sifangcheng. If he walked along the mountain, he rode a horse and traveled starry night, it would take nearly two months, not to mention that Sifangcheng went to Qingpingzhou and Xianhuzhou
The border will take more than one month.
It should be a distance of thousands of miles.
"The world you see in your eyes may not be the real world."
The tea seller did not hold the bamboo pole anymore. He stood at the stern of the boat with his hands behind his back, wearing a hat and a straw raincoat. Gu Yusheng's body was not wet, but the tea seller was beaten by rain and dew, and his whole body emitted a white mist.
Gu Yusheng felt something and said, "I heard from the elders of the sect that if you want to reach Xianhuzhou as soon as possible, you are going westward to Qingping Mountain. Senior Qiao, have I walked around Qingping Mountain for most of the time.
A circle?"
"Life goes around in circles, nothing strange. It is indeed closer to Qingyun Gate than to go to Sifang City. However, it is more difficult to take a shortcut than climbing to the sky."
The tea seller did not give Gu Yusheng the exact answer, but when he was saying this, he looked up at the highest point of Qingping Mountain.
The boat against the current gradually stopped by the abyss. Gu Yusheng looked down at the bottomless water below the boat, feeling dizzy, just like he faced the deep sea when he went out to sea.
The tea seller walked to Gu Yusheng, pointed his finger in front, and said, "Climbing the hill in front, you will see a thousand-year-old cloud tea. I will find a way to pick some of it. With tea, I can take you.
Go to meet an important person.”
Gu Yusheng looked shocked.
Find a way?
That's risky.
test?
It doesn't seem that simple.
Gu Yusheng couldn't help asking, "Are you going?"
The tea seller slightly raised his hat, revealing the cunning that Gu Yusheng had never seen before. He whispered: "That tea is said to have a master. I am old and I was found to be too embarrassed to run away. You are young,
If you have a good footing, just pick a half basket. I think the owner will not be embarrassed by you. Remember, don’t be greedy, go and go quickly. If the morning dew is gone, the tea will lose that spiritual energy."
Gu Yusheng wanted to refuse, but there seemed to be a strange magic on the hill ahead, which made him unable to help but want to turn over and take a look.
"Senior Qiao, what if... I'm caught? It's not good to steal something, right?"
The tea seller was slightly stuck.
"Then you just say that you came alone, don't implicate me."
Gu Yusheng: "..."
Just in a speechless state.
With the tea shopper's sleeves, Gu Yusheng felt a force sending him to the shore.
It's impossible not to go.
Gu Yusheng took a deep breath.
You have to fly in the air.
But he was shocked to find that in this abyss, there was also a strange force that imprisoned himself and could only rely on his footsteps to climb.
The hill ahead is visible to the naked eye.
Gu Yusheng walked along the steep valley.
Since the tea seller said that the morning dew on the tea cannot be thrown away, you must hurry up.
With his strong body and quick pace, Gu Yusheng quickly climbed halfway up the mountain.
The scene of climbing Lingxiao Peak was awakened in memory. Gu Yusheng walked forward quickly. Before he knew it, clouds and mist were already under his feet. Gu Yusheng couldn't help but look back. The water in the abyss was no longer visible, so naturally
I can't see the tea seller.
Instead, the depth of the abyss made Gu Yusheng unable to help but take a breath.
My mind shook.
Almost fell down.
Fortunately, Gu Yusheng immediately calmed down and jumped forward without distraction.
Gradually.
There is light in the sky.
The top of the mountain surrounded by clouds and mist reached out from below with one hand and firmly grasped the edge of the cliff.
Gu Yusheng, who was sweating all over, stepped on the top of the mountain and breathed in big mouthfuls.
When the wind blew, he felt that the cold and cold energy accumulated in his internal organs seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
Gu Yusheng didn’t have time to think about why this happened.
In front of him, a tea tree with a cape of halfway up the mountain grew on another cliff. The tea tree was lush and green. The thousand-year-old tea tree sprouted, and two leaves were blooming at the bottom. Some other tea leaves hanging in the clouds were still like
In the middle of winter, frost and snow are still there.
Gu Yusheng is standing now and can pick some tea leaves that have sprouted with tender buds with his hands. However, in contrast, the wood spirit aura emitted by the tender buds that are sprouted in the mist of clouds can even be seen by the naked eye.
!
Gu Yusheng is so familiar with that kind of spiritual energy.
Because the spiritual gourd around his waist can condense a few drops every morning and night, making it extremely smooth on his path of cultivation.
Gu Yusheng subconsciously reached out to touch the spirit gourd on his waist, trying to draw the spiritual liquid away, and use it for himself in the future, but as soon as his hand was pressed on the spirit gourd, he was shocked. If this tea tree was on it
All the spiritual liquids were absorbed. It can be said that he did not have to worry about his future path of cultivation. But is this true?
If there is such a benefit.
This tea cannot be fought against by the world and won’t be snatched by the world!
not to mention.
The spiritual gourd around his waist did not respond.
He remembered what the tea seller said: Don’t be too greedy, just pick half a basket!
Gu Yusheng's hand moved from the spirit gourd to the bamboo basket. He didn't need to climb up the tea tree. He just needed to gently stretch his hand to pick the tender tips of the jade dew-stained buds.
After restraining the inner desire.
Gu Yusheng had no idea of climbing the tea tree.
He carefully picked and bought a piece of tea and put it into the bamboo basket bit by bit.
Gradually.
The rising sun shines on the tea trees.
Gu Yusheng has picked half a basket.
"It's almost done."
Gu Yusheng said to himself.
He looked down at the bamboo basket at his waist, and then subconsciously looked up at the tea tree in front of him.
But when Gu Yusheng raised his head, he was stunned. The tea tree that was still there just now disappeared without a trace.
Not only that, not far ahead of him, there was a smooth cliff like a knife and an axe, and below was a bottomless abyss.
You can vaguely see a hazy mountain opposite the abyss, and the shadows of trees are gone.
It seemed like a whimpering sound came from a squeak!
Gu Yusheng tried his best to look into the distance.
He saw a strange snow ape climbing little by little from the main pole of the tea tree, a little familiar and a little unfamiliar.
When the wind blows, everything seems to be gone.
Gu Yusheng's expression was complicated and he sighed slightly.
At this time, he felt the gourd in his waist move slightly, and the clouds around his body were sucked in by the gourd and turned into green spiritual liquid.
Soon after.
Gu Yusheng returned from the mountains.
The tea seller leaning against the water seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When Gu Yusheng got on the boat, he activated the boat to go down the river. His frown gradually stretched out and breathed a long sigh.
"Senior Qiao, fortunately, I'm not disgraced."
Gu Yusheng handed the bamboo basket around his waist to the tea seller.
The tea seller lowered his head and picked up a piece of tender tip and looked at him carefully, then looked at Gu Yusheng seriously.
He was silent for a long time.
When the end of the boat was almost visible, the tea seller took off his straw raincoat and pocket, and slapped the water with his palms violently. The boat suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye it reached the reed marsh, selling tea
Weng sat on the edge of the boat regardless of his image, letting the cold water wet his body, and gasping for breath: "Child, you are right, I am wrong."
The morning light shone on Gu Yusheng's face, and his hair was soaked with morning dew.
The tea seller sat for a long time before he walked out of the water stiffly, and said to Gu Yusheng apologetically: "When your father left that bookbox in me, maybe his real purpose was to tell me that life is not necessary.
Take risks instead of letting me test you and letting you take such a big risk. If you can't come back, I will have more regrets in my life."
Gu Yusheng comforted: "Senior Qiao, am I back?"
"Different, different." The tea seller waved his hand, "Picking these tea leaves is actually driven by my inner demon. I just want to win that bet. What I dare not do is entrusted to you.
By the way, if you want to take the bookcase now, I will give you the bookcase immediately."
Gu Yusheng thought for a while and said, "I am very interested in the path of cultivation that my senior pointed out to me, I want to give it a try."
The tea seller sighed.
"Then when you want to leave, tell me and I'll find you the bookcase."
The tea seller walked ashore and took Gu Yusheng to the west.
After about an hour of walking, there was a blacksmith shop under a dry ancient tree in front of me.
