Chapter 1082 A cup of tea
Youxian Cave, this book should not appear in this era.
It seems to be a novel that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Xu Tong can’t remember exactly who wrote it.
But the content of this book is completely within the Eighteen Bans.
Although men have a common love for this kind of thing, when thinking of the novels he read in the emperor's palace, Xu Tong would inevitably have the illusion that the person in front of him was the rumored Gao Cao who alone suppressed the underworld. The great emperor who sits on a secluded mountain.
Even if you take a step back, if the person in front of you is not the Lord of Taishan Mansion, you must be related, at least they have similar hobbies.
The three of them immediately looked at each other and walked toward the Taoist, bowing their hands to each other.
"Greetings to Mr. Fu!"
The Taoist was slightly startled, and turned back to look at the three of them with a strange expression. Then he realized that someone was really coming, his expression froze, and he quickly hid the book behind his back.
"Ahem, Mr. Fu? The three of you may have mistakenly admitted the wrong person. I am not Mr. Fu."
The Taoist priest first coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and then flatly denied that he was the Lord of Taishan Mansion. Xu Tong and the others were not surprised by this.
Just as Xu Tong thought before, even if this person is not the Lord of Taishan Prefecture, he must have some connection with the Lord of Taishan Prefecture.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong stepped forward and did not defend the identity of the Taoist. He only said: "In that case, I haven't asked you for your honorary name yet."
"Haha, what a coincidence, I was still thinking about my name just now. After thinking about it, I found a poem about my name."
The Taoist's mouth was red and his teeth were white, and his smile was particularly beautiful. His loud voice could be heard echoing in the valley.
"Three thousand gods of Hongmeng are born in one life, and all things are born in the second transformation of Taichu.
Heaven respects me as father and god, and earth calls me earth and breath mother. "
This poem is so arrogant that it dares to make heaven honor his father and earth to call his mother. However, when Taoists read it, it doesn't make people feel arrogant. It seems to be logical.
Even the gentle breeze rippling in the valley and the flapping leaves of the forest make soft sounds that seem to bear witness to this poem.
Xu Tong and the others stared at the Taoist in front of them with wide eyes, but saw that the Taoist's figure was changing.
One second he was a Taoist, but the next second he turned into a pretty nun, an instant he turned into an old man, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a naughty boy again.
When the three of them rubbed their eyes again, the figure of the Taoist was still there, but the face made it difficult for them to tell whether it was a real illusion or not.
But one thing is certain, this person is too outrageous and may be even more terrifying than the second generation of gods.
No, Xu Tong even felt that even his cheap uncle, Kong, and even a generation of gods like Nishen were far less mysterious than this Taoist.
While Xu Tong and others were shocked, the Taoist blinked at Xu Tong: "Can you guess who I am?"
Xu Tong shook his head blankly, thinking: "How could you guess this?"
Seeing that Xu Tong couldn't guess it, the Taoist smiled and said: "Well, if you can't guess it, then don't guess it. You will know it later."
After the Taoist finished speaking, he looked behind Xu Tong. After seeing Gu Xibai and Gao Zhuo, a smile appeared on his face:
"It is fate that you two come here. You can walk to the east and west, one to the left and the other to the right. There is a fruit tree on each side. This fruit tree grows strangely, high into the clouds. It has only one leaf and one fruit. You two can take it by chance. After getting it, smash it open to find out your destiny!"
Gu Xibai and Gao Zhuo were startled when they heard this, and soon realized what the Taoist meant.
This obviously meant to send them both away.
Although the two of them were reluctant, the Taoist in front of them made them feel unfathomable and terrifying. Even if they didn't agree, there was probably a way to make them go away.
So the two discussed it, and then Gu Xibai walked to the left and Gao Zhuo walked to the right.
After the two left, the Taoist waved his sleeves to call out a tea table, motioned for Xu Tong to sit down, and then started to cook charcoal and boil water.
"Senior, I'm here just for one thing, to ask for an explanation!"
Xu Tong waited for the two to leave before he opened his mouth to explain his purpose.
The Taoist waved his hand, but he signaled to Xu Tong that he already knew: "The people who come to me all say the same thing as you, they all come to seek understanding, but how can there be so much understanding in the world? I can give you Yes, it’s just a cup of tea. Whether you understand it or not is entirely up to you.”
As he spoke, the Taoist gently lifted his fingers to the void above his head, and with just a pinch, the space in front of him was shattered. The two fingers seemed to span all the worlds, and with a gentle tug on an old tree, two crystal pieces were shattered. The translucent young leaves are held in the fingertips.
Each leaf is different and brilliant. It is so strange. Each leaf is like a small world, shining brightly, like a dream.
The Taoist put two leaves in the teacup in front of Xu Tong and said softly: "How many fruit trees do you think the two of us can find?"
"How many?"
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment and thought for a moment: "Two?"
The two of them can find at least two fruit trees, one on the left and one on the right.
But the Taoist shook his head and said: "The roads go in many directions, but if you keep walking, they will only converge at one point in the end."
Hearing the Taoist's words, Xu Tong frowned: "You mean, they will finally come together and find a fruit tree?"
The Taoist did not explain, but lifted the boiled hot water and poured it into the tea cup.
When the hot water falls into the tea cup, a fragrance immediately rises, full of life and Taoist charm. The two tea leaves in the tea cup dance gracefully, blending together like the yin and yang fish of Tai Chi, mysterious and mysterious.
The Taoist then made a gesture of invitation to Xu Tong.
Xu Tong looked at the tea in front of him and did not drink it directly. Instead, he held it in his hand and put it under the bridge of his nose and took a few sips of the aroma of the tea.
"What kind of tea is this?"
"No name, I picked it randomly."
"Then...what's the effect of drinking it?" Xu Tong asked persistently.
The Taoist thought for a while, then shook his head, and said with an innocent look on his face: "I don't know, some people have great enlightenment after drinking it, some people go crazy after drinking it, I myself feel a little pure after drinking it, but some people drink it After that, he yelled at me."
The Taoist put his hands in his pockets and suddenly felt a little funny when he remembered the appearance of the people who came here to drink tea before.
When Xu Tong heard this, he immediately became energetic: "Who has come to drink?"
It was just a casual question, but the Taoist in front of me shook his head: "Young Master, not many people can come here and drink this cup of tea."
Obviously not everyone is qualified to drink this cup of tea. Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai are not qualified, so they were sent away by the Taoist.
Xu Tong estimated that only those with [Source] could drink this cup of tea.
At this time, the Taoist priest continued: "There was a woman named Queen Mother of the West who stood here and scolded me for several days after drinking tea."
"Western Queen?"
Xu Tong was really surprised by this name. He didn't expect that among the people who came here to drink tea, there was the Queen Mother of the West.
Doesn't that mean that this person existed at least before the Queen Mother of the West? Could it be said that he is a generation of gods?
But thinking of the poem that this person had just recited, Xu Tong felt that it was not the same. It seemed that this person was more unfathomable than a generation of gods.
I just don’t know why Queen Mother Xi cursed the Taoist after drinking this cup of tea.
But the names the Taoist said next made Xu Tong feel frightened.
"A woman named Hou Tu came here later. After drinking this tea, she just sighed and left. I have a pretty good impression of this girl. Do you know how she is doing now?"
The Taoist asked Xu Tong.
Xu Tong remembered what his sister had told him, and he couldn't help but said casually: "My husband and my children are on the hot bed, everything is fine."
"The prince you came to see sat here for a long time after drinking, without saying anything, and then left. But I saw that he was quite happy when he left."
"These are all things from earlier, and there are a few others that I don't remember clearly."
At this time, the Taoist suddenly remembered something and patted his head: "By the way, a man named Kongren came here once. After drinking this cup of tea, this guy became crazy."
"The magic stick is here too!"
Xu Tong's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that his cheap uncle would come to such a place. Could it be that he was also the owner of [Source]?
But what did he see after drinking this cup of tea?
Could it be that his drastic change in personality was related to this cup of tea?
Thinking of this, Xu Tong became more and more curious, what exactly was hidden in the cup of tea in his hand?
In doubt, Xu Tong took a deep breath and drank all the tea in his hand, wanting to see the mystery in the tea.
Although the tea is steaming, it does not feel hot at all when you drink it. Instead, it is cool and sweet.
It's just that the aftertaste gradually becomes a bit bitter.
But other than that, there is nothing unusual.
Xu Tong frowned and put down the tea cup in his hand. When he looked up, he saw the Taoist staring at him eagerly.
"To be honest, this thing is not as delicious as iced black tea."
Xu Tong commented that the taste was a bit astringent, and he should have added some sugar if he had known it.
The Taoist was stunned for a moment: "Then I'll add some sugar next time."
Xu Tong originally wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that his mouth began to feel numb, followed by his head becoming dizzy, and a strong sense of sleepiness came over him, like an ordinary person who had not slept for several days and nights. My head suddenly darkened, and I lay on the table and fell asleep.
Seeing this, the Taoist grinned, took out the book he had just finished reading from his sleeve, sat aside and started reading again: "Hey, I saw something..."
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I plan to go to the countryside to see my grandma in the morning and go home to stay with my parents in the evening, so I'm taking a day off.
