Qi Nanshan thought for a moment and said: "I don't see anything wrong. However, let's send a few people to investigate first, and we will follow slowly. Well, we are not afraid even if there are problems, as long as we don't encounter anything like the Earth Dragon.
The mutated rune beast will not be in any danger."
Luo Jie nodded and said: "The older you get, the more careful you are. Haha, let's go there."
Qi Nanshan said: "Xiao Feng, take two Talisman warriors over there... If there is danger, retreat immediately, don't fight desperately!"
Xiaofeng agreed, and quickly ran towards the pond with the two Talisman Warriors.
Guo Twelve supported Luo Jie and joked all the way. The old man enjoyed his apprentice's filial piety. He said cheerfully: "Twelve, we should be more leisurely during this period. You should seize the time to study and don't waste your homework."
Guo Twelve said: "Master, I know, don't worry."
Luo Jie knew very well that his little apprentice was extremely diligent. As long as he stopped to rest, he would definitely be holding a book in his hand and reading. He smiled and said: "When you advance to become a spell master, your strength will be enough to protect yourself."
, it’s not working now, well, I’ll make a few treasure talismans for you in the future to improve your strength a little bit.”
"Master, we have to find a way to get some war horses. We can't go far by walking. If we encounter danger, it will be too late to escape."
Luo Jie nodded and said: "Twelve, go over this mountain range first. You shouldn't be able to find any war horses here."
Xiaofeng and others quickly returned and said: "Old man, there are no signs of danger. The pond is safe!"
Qi Nanshan shouted: "Everyone, walk faster. Today we will rest, eat and drink water by the pond." Everyone agreed happily and rushed towards the pond quickly.
The pond was not big, and there was a forest around it. A stream flowed into it and flowed out from the other end. Because it was living water, the water was very clear. Qin Nanshan was the first to arrive. He took a sip of the clear water and said, "There is nothing wrong with this water.
You can drink it." He raised his head and said loudly: "You are not allowed to go down to take a shower. Please replenish the water first and then take a shower!"
Chen Hong had already rushed to the edge of the pond and almost jumped in. She couldn't help but blush when she heard this and hurriedly took out a water bag to collect clean water.
Everyone has at least two water bags, and most of them can hold one cubic meter of water. Guo Twelve lamented the power of the hidden talisman. A water bag, after being made with the hidden talisman, can hold a lot of water. If you save a little,
I've been using it for two months without any problems, it's very convenient.
Everyone lined up and squatted by the pond, sinking their water bags into the water. In a moment, the water level in the entire pond dropped by at least one foot.
Chen Hong's hand suddenly shook. Guo Twelve was next to her and asked, "What's wrong?" Chen Hong raised her finger and pointed to the thatch by the pond not far away, and said, "Then... is that a path?"
Qi Nanshan was standing not far away from the two of them. He was shocked when he heard this. He jumped up and came to the grass in a few steps. He observed it carefully and said: "Yes, it is a small road, and there are people there."
The footprints are not made by wild animals!"
Luo Jie also rushed over. Guo Twelve was curious, why was there anyone here? He also followed over. Soon, most of the people gathered around the small road.
Guo Twelve said: "There is only one person!"
Luo Jie agreed: "Yes, it's a person. Let's go along the path to see who is living in seclusion here. Well, everyone should be more vigilant, but don't offend others easily. People who can survive in the secret realm for a long time are not
Simple. I don’t want to get into any unexplained trouble.”
Qi Nanshan said: "The old man and I will go over there. You guys stay here and wait. Luo Zhan, you take charge. Xiaofeng, take a Talisman warrior to follow us."
Guo Twelve raised his hands and said: "I want to go too!" He was very curious and felt safe with his master.
Luo Jie said: "Well, come Twelve too." Guo Twelve hurriedly ran to him. It felt good to be protected by others. Even though he was born in the third generation, he also liked this feeling.
The path extended from the edge of the pond to the woods, and through the woods, a stone wall appeared. Continue walking along the stone wall, and soon you saw a crack on the stone wall. The path disappeared at the crack. Xiaofeng quickly submerged into the crack. For a moment, he
He stuck out half of his head and waved: "It's not dangerous, come in!"
Several people got in through the crack in the rock, and there was a valley not far away. After walking a few steps, Luo Jie stopped and asked, "Is that a house?"
Guo Twelve saw a roof thatched. He said, "It's a thatched house!"
Soon everyone saw the simple thatched house clearly. There was a bamboo fence outside the thatched house, and a group of chickens were chirping for food. It felt like they were in a paradise.
Qi Nanshan stood outside the bamboo fence and asked, "Is there anyone there?"
A voice came from the thatched house: "Come in, who are you?" A man walked out of the thatched house.
He was a very handsome young man, he looked a bit frail, his face had very soft contours, and his eyes were deep and steady, not like the eyes of a young man at all. There was no blood or passion in them, but there was reason and wisdom.
The feeling was very strange. He was wearing a gray robe with a light yellow ribbon tied around his waist.
Luo Jie said: "Excuse me, we are people passing by here. Haha, we are destined to meet each other, so we come to visit."
The man smiled and said: "The hut is simple. If you are not afraid of being neglected, please come in and have a cup of tea."
Guo Twelve's heart was moved, because he had never seen anyone drinking tea in Beifumen, and no one even mentioned tea. In this secret realm, a young man said that he wanted to treat everyone to a cup of tea, which made him a little excited.
,How does this person know about tea?
Luo Jie cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me." Several people followed the young man into the thatched house. After entering, it turned out to be another world. The outside looked like a very simple thatched house, but the inside was completely different, with white jade floors and snow-white walls.
, the area has also become very large, and a large animal skin is spread in the middle of the room with a white jade table on it.
The man smiled and asked everyone to sit down and said, "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Li, Li Ran."
Luo Jie also gave his first name. Li Ran was obviously very interested in Guo Twelve and said, "Twelve is only nine years old? Well, very good qualifications."
Li Ran casually touched the white jade table, and a glass tea set appeared. It was the same shape as the tea set Guo Twelve had seen in his previous life, with a pot and six cups. Luo Jie had never seen this kind of tea set before, and asked: "What is this? It's very strange."
So exquisite.”
Guo Twelve said: "This is a tea set, a tool for drinking tea."
Li Ran asked in surprise: "Do you know the tea set?" He took out a piece of tea and asked: "Do you know what kind of tea this is?"
Guo Twelve took it over, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and said, "This should be fermented tea - black tea. Is that correct?"
Li Ran became more curious and said: "Yes, this is black tea, this is Andong black tea. Haha, I didn't expect to meet a little tea lover. Since you know what tea is, can you make tea?"
In his previous life, Guo Twelve was a tea drinker. Although he was not very proficient, he was still good at ordinary techniques. He took out a piece of tea, rinsed it with boiling water, and poured out the water. This was tea washing, in order to remove impurities and impurities from the tea leaves.
Bitter, then calmly poured into the boiling water, soaked for a while, then poured the tea into the cup, and said with a smile: "Okay, haha, this is how I understand making tea."
Li Ran smiled and said: "Yes, it looks good. Come on, please drink." He picked up a cup and motioned to everyone.
Guo Twelve was addicted to tea in his previous life, and he was not modest. He picked up the cup, drank it in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said in surprise: "This tea is really good, with a hint of orchid... the taste is also good, mellow and sweet, and the color of the tea soup is
Hongliang, so good..."
Li Ran was extremely surprised. Only an old tea drinker could say this. Luo Jie and others took a sip, and the expressions on their faces were very strange. It was obvious that they had never touched tea before. The intoxication on Guo Twelve's face was...
It's definitely not fake, it's happiness that comes from the bottom of my heart.
Guo Twelve asked: "Brother Li, do you have any other tea?"
Li Ran laughed and said: "Brother Li? Haha, I have lived for almost six hundred years, and it is very interesting to be called big brother by a nine-year-old like you... Anyway, I will recognize you as my little brother. Who makes you a little tea?"
Where is my friend?"
Luo Jie and others were immediately dumbfounded. Six hundred years! This is too scary.
Guo Twelve didn't believe it at all. He said: "Brother Li, don't be ridiculous. You are much younger than my master. How could you live to be six hundred years old..."
However, Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan believed that they knew that there was a mysterious master who lived in seclusion in the secret realm. He rarely appeared in front of people. Even if he appeared, people would not recognize them. This person must be a master who lived in seclusion here.
Luo Jie said: "Twelve, don't be rude."
Li Ran waved his hand indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, this little guy is very interesting. I have a lot of tea, can you recognize it?" He touched it casually, and three silver cans appeared. It is best to use silver to seal the tea.
Cans or tin cans, in fact the best is to use gold cans, but gold cans are too luxurious.
Guo Twelve picked up a silver can and opened it and found that the inner layer was gold-plated. He took a slight smell and said in surprise: "Haha, oolong tea? Yes, it's oolong... No, um, I can't say.
…But it must be oolong tea.”
Li Ran stared at Guo Twelve and said: "You actually know about oolong tea, haha, it's beyond my expectation... You don't need to look at the others, I know you will be able to recognize it."
Guo Twelve wondered in his heart: "Is this person from the previous life, from his hometown... from his hometown?" He didn't dare to ask and didn't want to ask. Li Ran didn't say anything else, but looked at him thoughtfully.
At one glance, he became obviously close to Guo Twelve.
Luo Jie didn't care why Guo Twelve knew so much about tea. He said: "Li..." For a moment, he didn't know how to call Li Ran.
Li Ran was very free and easy and said, "Just call me Li Ran."
Luo Jie smiled and asked: "Li Ran, may I ask...where do we go from this mountain range?"
Li Ran smiled and said: "You came from the land of death? You are really lucky."
