The footsteps stopped in front of Ye Chao. Ye Chao raised his head, and after seeing Chang Jian, he said hello: "Senior Brother Chang Jian."
Chang Jian nodded, his face as calm as the surface of the clear water pool, but he was in a dilemma in his heart. He really didn't understand why the master had to ask Junior Brother Ye to send gifts to the old man with a bad temper in the ancestral hall.
Food, and you still have to make yourself a villain?
"Junior brother, do you know that junior brother Le Weitian broke through the fourth level and went down the mountain?"
Ye Chao nodded, wondering in his heart that this Le Weitian had absolutely no contact with him before. I wonder what this has to do with senior brother Chang Jian finding him?
"He was doing something before."
"whats the matter?"
Chang Jian's troubled look began to appear on his face, and Ye Chao's heart beat very regularly.
"He has been delivering food to the ancestor's ancestral hall."
On the surface, Chang Jian's words seemed to be just talking about what Le Weitian had done before, but the hidden meaning was that Ye Chao knew that he wanted to take over.
The images that can be particularly memorable must be important events related to oneself, such as the water column summoned by the water unicorn a year ago, or the old man's oppressive power like an eternal sword.
He had no ability to resist at all in the face of these, and he couldn't even muster the will to resist in his heart. In reality, he was very afraid of seeing the water unicorn by the clear water pool, and he was also very afraid of seeing the old man in the ancestor's ancestral hall.
Seeing Ye Chao seeming to be reminiscing about something, Chang Jian thought of the scene where he shivered in front of the old man. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "That man is very scary, but junior brother, just deliver the food to the door every time."
, he should have no reason to embarrass you."
"I know, senior brother, when should I go to the ancestral hall?"
Chang Jian's handsome face was wrinkled with wrinkles that appeared to be caused by the embarrassment in his heart. His mouth was closing and closing like a goldfish blowing bubbles in a fish tank.
"If possible, junior brother can go now."
…
…
The light blue smoke can make people think of many things. For example, if it were thicker, would a thunderbolt fly out from it? What if the blue smoke was not the Qingyunmen Holy Land Patriarch's Temple but a deep cave entrance?
A man-eating demon flew out of it?
Ye Chao, who was carrying the food box, looked there and couldn't help but shudder. He shook his head to shatter the various images in his mind, gritted his teeth and walked towards that place.
He has always believed that people should have the courage to face the entity that makes them feel fear, and must not show their fear when conditions permit.
After taking a sip of the rice wine produced by Tongtianfeng Kitchen, he began to knock on the closed door of the ancestral hall gently and gently.
Not long after, the sound of the door shaft turning was heard, and then the heavy wooden door was opened, and the old man's unforgettable face appeared in front of Ye Chao.
"Uncle, I have brought you food."
The old man nodded calmly and took the food box from Ye Chao's hand calmly, as if he had forgotten something that happened a month ago.
Ye Chao's face was also calm, but that was not real, so after the old man took the food box, he wanted to leave this gloomy place quickly.
The old man didn't seem to want to say a few more words to Ye Chao or further embarrass this disciple whom Daoxuan had painstakingly arranged for. However, when he was about to close the door and return, he noticed the other party's somewhat stiff arms.
"Are you afraid of me?" His tone was calm, as if he was asking about an ordinary thing.
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid."
Facing an old man who was much more powerful than himself, Ye Chao didn't feel it was a shame to tell his true situation.
The old man was surprised. In his opinion, young people seemed never willing to admit that they were afraid of someone or something. However, this person chosen by Daoxuan seemed to be different, so he wanted to know the reason.
"Why?"
"Uncle Master, you made me unable to move with just your tone a month ago, so I'm naturally scared."
The corners of the old man's mouth moved, as if he was smiling, but because he hadn't smiled for a long time, the smile looked extremely awkward.
"Do you like drinking?"
Ye Chao didn't know why Wan Jianyi said this, but he still nodded.
"I have three jars of Daoxuan's fine wine. Come in and let's have a drink."
…
…
Drinking alone is beautiful, because you can drink freely, point to the sky and scold someone for being really cruel, and scold this thief for how unfair God is.
When two people drink, it's a matter of circumstance. Two people who are equal and have a good relationship have a wonderful time drinking. They talk to each other about how beautiful the girl in such-and-such building is, and why Senior Sister So-and-so from Xiaozhu Peak is so beautiful.
However, like Ye Chao's current situation, Wan Jianyi, who is the same generation as Daoxuan and has killed all the demon sects, invites him to drink, which will definitely not be wonderful.
After all, he couldn't bow his head to Wan Jian and say, "Uncle, you don't know. A few years later, a beautiful woman will emerge from Xiaozhu Peak who wields the Tianya Sword. Also, Uncle Shuiyue from Xiaozhu Peak has always liked you, and
Also, the demon saint Suzaku has been calling you a heartless person.
Looking at Ye Chao's troubled face, the old man's brows that had just relaxed for a while furrowed again and said, "Why, are you afraid of drinking?"
Afraid?
After listening to the old man's question again, the frivolous feeling in Ye Chao's heart that was oppressed by the old man's majesty was like bamboo shoots moistened by the rain, desperately emerging from the soil in his heart.
At the wine table, we really weren't afraid of anyone.
"If you're not afraid, then I will have a drink with my uncle."
…
…
At this time, there was an extra bamboo table and two bamboo chairs in the backyard of the ancestral hall. There were three dishes, two bowls and a large jar of wine on the table.
The old man opened the lid of the jar with one palm, and suddenly a mellow aroma of wine began to float away. Because of the aroma, Ye Chao seemed to see the invisible aroma turning into an abstract long hand grabbing his nose.
This is definitely a good wine, and it is definitely a good wine that has been waiting for many years.
"I used to like drinking, and because of drinking, Daoxuan was very dissatisfied with me. One time I asked him, are you afraid of me even when you drink? Of course he refused, and then he got drunk. From then on, he fell in love with drinking.
