The impact of science and technology has also transformed Kyoto into a modern metropolis.
However, don’t forget its long history. In addition to high-rise buildings, Kyoto also has many existing historical monuments.
Compared with the noisy high-rise buildings, there are countless taverns and teahouses with long history. Some have become cultural relics, and some are private properties.
Yunlai Teahouse, an antique teahouse, stands in the suburbs far away from the hustle and bustle.
This teahouse is said to have a history of more than three hundred years. After passing through the viaducts and wide roads in and out of Kyoto, everyone turned around to avoid the teahouse.
According to legend, the tea house was originally just a herbal tea stall. It set up a tent casually on the roadside and served bowls of herbal tea to the hawkers coming and going.
Over time, it gradually took root here.
The original shed has now become a three-story building, and the original muddy path has become an asphalt road extending in all directions.
After more than a hundred years of development, the teahouse has become somewhat famous in Kyoto.
However, young people don’t like to drink tea anymore, well...except milk tea.
In the afternoon, the teahouse was very quiet.
On the third floor, next to the window, there is an Eight Immortals table with three gray-haired old men sitting there.
One was wearing a gray Tang suit and had white hair slicked back. He seemed to be very sophisticated.
One was wearing coarse linen clothes, with an unkempt beard and gray ear-length hair, which was also a bit messy. At first glance, he looked very sloppy.
One was wearing a gray robe, with long snow-white hair tied casually on the back of his head with a peach wood hairpin, and a few messy strands of hair hanging casually on his shoulders.
The old man in coarse linen clothes put down his tea cup and spoke first: "Qin boy has been tracking down this way. This time, he finally touched the evil temple."
"This is better than that old guy. That old guy has been investigating for a lifetime but has not found any results."
"Oh!"
Upon saying this, the old man in gray Tang suit smiled and said: "It's too early to say this now."
"Because I always feel that he may not have found anything. After decades of separation, hasn't he been holding on to the Fierce Temple?"
Regarding this, the old man Mai obviously disagreed, shaking his head and saying: "What's the use of holding on? How many innocent lives have been killed by the existence of the Fierce Temple for so many years?"
"Young man Qin has only been investigating the Fierce Temple for a few years. How many evil schemes have he destroyed in the Fierce Temple?"
"Not to mention anything else, it was Mr. Qin who found out about the Fierce Temple's infiltration of Long Yin, right?"
"How many years has Blackwater been lurking in the Fierce Temple? By the way, there is also the Council of Elders. Wasn't it the one that Mr. Qin helped you solve?"
"Speaking of this time again, when the Fierce Temple made waves in the East China Sea, Mr. Qin was also the first to..."
"Definitely..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the old man in Tang suit waved his hands impatiently and said: "I just said it casually, and I never said anything wrong about Mr. Qin. Why are you still on the line?"
This old man in Tang suit is none other than Lao Longtou.
Raising his brows, the old man in Mai said unconvinced: "Who is on the line? I am telling the truth. Mr. Qin is very good, isn't he?"
The old man in Mai is none other than the old shopkeeper of the Palace of Hell, Qin Tian’s master—Zhu Hong!
And the old man in robe who never spoke was not an outsider, but the Martial Saint Dong Xiuyu!
As Qin Tian's master, the old shopkeeper was quite satisfied with his disciple.
Normally, whether it is Qin Tian, Can Jian and others, they are considered subordinates. Even if they are satisfied with Qin Tian, they will not show it easily.
However, it's different now. The three of them have been old friends for many years. Even if they haven't seen each other for many years, they still feel like old friends when they meet again.
Isn't it too much to show off your disciple in front of old friends?
