Golden Summoner.

The island is not big, Xia Pingan walked a few steps, and came to the outside of the pavilion. Inside the pavilion, an old man in Tsing Yi with the color of frost and snow was making tea. The old man in Tsing Yi wore the elegant clothes of the Ming Dynasty, but he had a luxurious temperament. , his eyes are warm and energetic, and his every move has an unspeakable charm.

This is Zhang Dai, this is the old man with an ancient sword who has been romantic all his life. If the young master Qingji is the representative of the Chinese nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the bloody bravery and toughness of the Chinese nobles can be seen from the young master Qingji, then the Zhang Dai in front of him is It is a representative of another style of Chinese aristocrats. From Zhang Dai, we can see the civilized elegance of Chinese aristocrats when they are in full bloom and the unyielding integrity of Chinese aristocrats when their country is ruined and their families are destroyed.

The old man in front of me is rarely a dandy, loves prosperity, likes the house, likes the beautiful maid, likes the fresh clothes, likes the food, likes the horse, likes the lantern, likes the fireworks, likes the pear orchard, likes to preach, likes the antique, likes the flower and bird, also likes the tea Obsessed with tangerines, bookworms and poets...

Fifty years later, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. The old man fled to the mountains and lived in the mountains. He folded a tripod and a sick qin.

"The water has just been boiled, the two of you can come to the pavilion to have a drink..." Zhang Dai in the pavilion waved gently, inviting Xia Ping'an and Hua Xin to enter the pavilion.

"Mr. is very interested, so I will be disrespectful!" Xia Pingan smiled casually, walked into the pavilion calmly, and sat opposite Zhang Dai. Hua Xin also went in and sat next to Xia Pingan, but seeing her squinting Looking at Zhang Dai's expression, it seems that he is ready to draw his sword and split the opponent in half if any situation arises.

Zhang Dai was making tea, and his every move was calm and unhurried, which was pleasing to the eye, but in an instant, the tea was ready.

The tea is rolling in the plain white porcelain cup, a burst of tea fragrance is refreshing, the color of the tea soup is like a bamboo sheath, and the green powder is just uniform; it is also like the dawn of the mountain window, the dawn of the paper, which is pleasing to the eye.

In the middle of such a snowy lake, it is really a beautiful thing to drink a cup of hot tea.

Looking at this beautiful tea soup, Xia Ping'an's heart moved, and he remembered some of Zhang Dai's past events. Zhang Dai is not just a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. Especially in the tea ceremony, Zhang Dai liked to fight tea with others when he was young, and later gradually became a master of the tea ceremony. He once made a tea that was famous all over the world.

"Both, please..." Zhang Dai smiled slightly and picked up the teacup.

"Sir, please..." Xia Pingan also picked up the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip.

When the tea entered his throat, it turned into a clear and fragrant breath that permeated his whole body. Xia Pingan felt that the divine power in his secret mandala was boiling. The upper limit of his divine power in the sky algae well of the secret mandala was originally 6988 points, but just now After taking a sip, the upper limit of divine power actually increased by 5 points, and suddenly became 6993 points.

Xia Pingan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had hallucinations, he realized carefully that his upper limit and upper limit of divine power had indeed increased by 5 points at the same time, Xia Pingan couldn't help but took another sip, and the upper limit of divine power and the upper limit of divine power in the secret frankness once again increased. An increase of 5 points directly turned it into 6998 points. In the blink of an eye, drinking half a cup of tea is equivalent to merging half a boundary bead.

Hua Xin didn't drink the tea, she looked at Zhang Dai warily, secretly blamed Xia Pingan for being reckless, and signaled Xia Pingan not to drink it with her eyes.

As soon as Xia Pingan raised his head, he drank the whole cup of tea. The remaining half cup added 10 points of divine power and the upper limit of divine power to him. 7000 points.

A cup of tea, 20 points of divine power, where in the world can you find such a good thing.

"Senior Sister Hua, why don't you drink a cup too? This tea is hard to find in the world and has infinite uses. It will be of great benefit to you and me!" Xia Pingan said directly to Hua Xin.

Hua Xin was slightly taken aback. She didn't look like Xia Ping'an was joking, and kept giving her winks. Besides, Xia Ping'an seemed to be fine after drinking the tea. He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

After only a few seconds, Xia Pingan saw Hua Xin's eyes brighten up, as if she had finally realized the beauty of this tea, she took another sip, and after a few seconds, Hua Xin's face finally showed His face was so moved that he couldn't help but drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"Senior Sister Hua, how are you? I didn't lie to you!" Xia Pingan smiled.

"This tea is really extraordinary..." Hua Xin let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face. In this shrine, there are great dangers hidden, but there are also great opportunities. The situation in front of him is a chance. Then he came to his senses and apologized to Zhang Dai, "Hua Xin was too careful when he first came here. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"

"Hahaha, it's okay!" Zhang Dai laughed loudly, poured another cup of tea for Xia Ping'an and Hua Xin in the expectant eyes, looked at Xia Ping'an and Hua Xin and said, "This young master has a majestic aura. Like a fierce general, this girl is wearing a black dress, which looks quite matching, but if this son can be a scholar, girl, you can wear a white dress today, if the two of you can perform a song "Lei Feng" here today Remember, that would be more interesting..."

Hua Xin didn't understand why Zhang Dai said that, he was completely at a loss, but Xia Pingan knew that Zhang Dai was comparing him and Hua Xin to Xu Xian and White Lady, he was joking with them, Zhang Dai liked opera, and in Ming Dynasty After Chen Liulong wrote "Lei Feng Ji", White Snake also appeared on the prelude stage.

"Ahem..." Xia Pingan coughed twice, and said to Zhang Dai with a quick smile, "If sir likes it, make us a few more pots of tea to moisten our throats. Whatever sir likes, this girl and I will play for him !"

Zhang Dai smiled and shook his head, "The most important thing about watching a play is the first appearance. This girl is beautiful, dignified and stunning in the world. You can play the role of the white lady in a white dress. You are a bald man, no matter how much you act, you can't play it." A frail scholar, your bald head reminds me of that ugly old monk, I can't match you just by looking at you, that's all, that's all..."

Xia Pingan was speechless. If he had known that he would have turned into a white-faced boy, it would have been fine. At that time, he didn't know which nerve in his head had different preferences, but he turned into such a bald man. Maybe he missed an opportunity.

Although it was a pity in his heart, Xia Ping'an didn't keep his hands idle. He picked up the cup and drank another cup of tea in one breath. The upper limit of his divine power reached 7028 points in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, he drank four cups of tea alone, and the pot of water was also empty. Xia Ping'an's upper limit of divine power also increased to 7068 points in the end.

"Excuse me, sir, what's the name of this tea?" Hua Xin asked a little bit.

"I haven't decided on the name of this tea yet. How about you come up with a name for me? If the name you choose satisfies me, I will make you another pot of tea!" Zhang Dai said with a smile, throwing out a question.

Chapter 426 It's Like Snow

Upon hearing Zhang Dai's question, Hua Xin was shocked immediately, and her eyes lit up. She knew that this question might be one of the reward conditions for this level.

Make another pot of tea, which is equivalent to rewarding another [-] points of divine power, which is equivalent to the effect of two or three divine power realm beads. How could Hua Xin let go of such an opportunity? She glanced at Xia Pingan and looked at Xia Pingan. Ping'an's rough appearance may have the ability to refine Horcruxes, but he is definitely not good at naming tea, which requires literary talent.

So Hua Xin thought for a while, pondered for a while, and said directly to Zhang Dai, "Sir, this tea has a good color and smell. It is green like green pine, white in green, and has a strong aroma. Why not call it Ruisong!"

"Ruisong?" Zhang Dai read these two words lightly, then shook his head slightly, "Young lady's name is not bad, but it doesn't match the charm of my tea..."

Xia Pingan took a look at Hua Xin and thought, this woman still has two brushes, so this name is okay, it is already very appropriate, but she doesn't know the origin of the tea in front of her. The buds refer to the manufacturing process of the ancient Songluo tea, and according to the special formula, some jasmine is added to improve the tea. It is a pity that this tea was lost later.

The name of this tea is just two words - Xuelan!

Seeing Hua Xin frowning and thinking of a new name, Zhang Dai turned his attention to Xia Ping'an and smiled slightly, "What does this young master think this tea should be called?"

"The color of this tea soup is like freshly peeled bamboo shoots. It is light green and suitable, and it is like the window paper of the window facing the mountain. The dawn is slightly dew. When you pour the tea into the cup, this tea is like a branch of elegant orchid standing in the water. Its fragrance does not change, it has the quality of a gentleman, elegant but not flattering, its color is amiable, its fragrance is pleasant, at this moment, the lake and mountains are all white, why not call it Xuelan!" Xia Pingan said calmly, this time Lan is a gentleman among flowers, with a noble character. The gentleman in front of you is You Aixue. This gentleman named Xuelan tea. On the surface, it is tea, but in fact, why is it not talking about herself?

"Hahaha, Xuelan...Xuelan... yes, a good name, a good name, what my little friend said, it suits my heart!" Zhang Dai laughed loudly, "To reward my little friend, I will make another pot of snow for you Lancha!"

"Thank you sir!"

Hua Xin looked at Xia Ping'an in surprise, never expecting that Xia Ping'an, who seemed to be a big and three rough, could come up with such a name and say such a reason.

A pot of snow blue tea was brewed quickly, and after drinking four cups of tea in a row, Xia Pingan's upper limit of divine power in the secret mandala increased by 80 points again, reaching 7148 points. The benefits of increasing divine power.

From Six Suns Realm to Seven Suns Realm, the upper limit of divine power of the secret mandala needs to be increased from 6930 points to 8820 points, and 1890 divine power points need to be added. In the time of these two pots of tea, the divine power of the two of them has increased by 160 points, which is a huge gain It is almost equivalent to completing one-twelfth of the advanced goals of the current state.

After finishing the pot of tea, Zhang Dai suddenly sighed slightly, and pointed to a beautiful landscape potted plant beside the tea table behind him, "What do you two guys think of this potted plant?"

Following Zhang Dai's casual finger pointing, Xia Ping'an noticed the potted plant. He entered the pavilion just now, although he also saw the potted plant, but he just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it. In all fairness, that potted plant is too much The pine trees and lawn on the potted rockery are all miniature green pine trees and some light green moss. Although Xia Pingan doesn't know much about potted plants, he also feels that there is a real mountain in the potted plants.

"Sir, this potted plant integrates the world, mountains and rivers into one pot. The mountains, rocks, flowing water, flowers, plants and trees in the potted plant are lifelike and vivid. But sir, please don't blame me for speaking bluntly. I think the moss and grass in this potted plant seem to be improperly maintained. It's turned yellow, which makes the potted plant lose its luster!" Hua Xin replied.

Zhang Dai sighed, "The two friends should come from far away places, and they should be well-informed. This is a beautiful landscape potted plant I borrowed from a friend a few days ago. I like it very much, but the potted plant is raised at home. A few days later, due to my improper maintenance, it withered and turned yellow, and I no longer have the vitality of the previous spiritual energy. I am now distressed by this matter. I have interviewed many people and tried many methods, but unfortunately none of them work. No one knows. How to restore this potted plant to its original state, do the two little friends know how to revive that potted plant?"

Hearing Zhang Dai's question, Hua Xin was very moved. The old gentleman must have given him a special gift in return, but how to restore the vigor and vitality of the potted plant in front of her is beyond her ability.

"I see...the plants in this pot don't lack water and nutrients, right?" Hua Xin asked tentatively.

"Of course not. I have had the best gardeners look at it. It's just that the things planted in this pot are different from those planted in the soil. They cannot be removed or placed in the soil. The water materials used are also very particular. To restore the vitality of this potted plant, a special secret method is needed. I heard that this secret method is worthless, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know. If the two of you can know the secret method that can restore the vitality of this potted plant, I will send two more little friend a gift!"

Hua Xin stopped talking. The secret method to restore the vitality of this exquisite potted plant in front of him is no less than merging and unraveling a black box of boundary beads. Let alone her, even if her master is here, I am afraid Also have to catch blind.

At this moment, Hua Xin glanced at Xia Ping'an, but found that Xia Ping'an was not nervous at all, and there was a smile on his face that controlled everything.

Yes, Xia Ping'an is not a bonsai expert, but he is very familiar with Zhang Dai's life. The question Zhang Dai asked them is the most difficult problem that Zhang Dai has ever encountered. The expert finally let him find the secret method to restore the vitality of the bonsai, and then he wrote the secret method in his book.

This old man's knowledge of life is unimaginable to ordinary people, and he can play everything to a higher level. In history, this old man is probably the first one in history who is worried about domestic "dairy products". People, this old man likes to eat cheese, but he is worried about the safety of "dairy products" outside, so he buys cows and lets them raise them at home, and makes cheese for himself.

Seeing Zhang Dai's gaze turned to him, Xia Pingan smiled slightly, "It's simple, sir, you only need to soak water with ginseng, and then sprinkle it on the bonsai. It only takes a few days, and the bonsai will surely regain its vitality!"

"Soak ginseng in water and sprinkle it with water!" Zhang Dai thought for a while, then suddenly realized, showing excitement, and patted his head, "This ginseng absorbs the spiritual energy of the world, mountains and rivers, and soaking ginseng in water is to put the The aura of heaven and earth is scattered into the water, and eating ginseng can greatly nourish people. If you sprinkle ginseng water into the bonsai, it will not return the aura of ginseng to the world of the bonsai. Wonderful, wonderful..."

Zhang Dai laughed and looked at Xia Ping'an with great satisfaction, "Little friend is really my confidant. It's really interesting to meet you here today!"

"You're being polite, sir. I just read a little more and saw this method in the book. The people who leave the book are really amazing!" Xia Pingan said sincerely.

"No matter what, I still want to thank you for telling me!" Zhang Dai said, waving his hand lightly, and a door appeared outside the pavilion again, "Behind this door is the mystery of Zhuge Liang's Eight Arrays that I discovered when I traveled all over the world. Therefore, there are different formations in the eight formations, and the essence of formations is contained in them. In Kuizhou, there are 64 formations, which belong to the square formation; in Moumi, there are 120 eight formations, which are head formations; The six formations are the camp method, there is also a formation method at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in Mianshui (Note 250), how much essence of the formation method the two little friends can get depends on the luck and ability of the two little friends..."

Formation?Xia Ping'an was a little excited all of a sudden, he didn't expect the old gentleman to give such a generous gift in the end.

Xia Ping'an and Hua Xin glanced at each other, they both stood up quickly and saluted Zhang Dai together, "Thank you sir!"

"Two little friends, go slowly, I won't see you off, I hope to have a chance to meet again in the future!"

Xia Ping'an and Hua Xin walked out of the pavilion and came to the door.

Xia Pingan took a final look at the old man in the pavilion and the snow scene of the West Lake in front of him, kept the scene in his heart, then pushed open the door in front of him, and stepped in...

Note 1: Zhang Dai's "Night Sailing Ship" Volume [-] Geography Department...

Chapter 427 Marquis Wu

When passing through that door, Xia Ping'an had a great reaction.

That kind of feeling, to him, is exactly the same as the feeling after successfully fusing the Boundary Beads. This kind of feeling was completely absent when drinking tea just now.

The surge of divine power is empowering the body, increasing the abilities of all aspects of the body. At the same time, there are also changes in the secret mandala. Xia Pingan saw that there is an additional sculpture in his secret mandala. The appearance of tea time.

Can actually summon Zhang Dai.

Xia Pingan was a little dumbfounded.

Everything, in fact, is just a matter of a moment...

Lights and shadows swirled in front of his eyes, and when Xia Ping'an's foot landed, he was already standing on the bank of a river. In front of the river, thousands of meters away, there was a thatched cottage, and next to the thatched cottage was a piece of grass. Scattered stone pedestals by the river, the stone pedestals are covered with a layer of faint mist, seemingly calm, but it makes people feel frightened, blending with the sky and the earth, and the murderous intent is raging.

Faintly, Xia Pingan saw an old man fishing in the thatched hut in front of him near the river.

Hua Xin naturally followed Xia Pingan out of the door.

Hua Xin, who stepped out of the door, had a strange expression on her face, as if she was still a little confused. She looked here, then at Xia Ping'an, frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Just now... what happened in that room just now? What? Why did my upper limit of divine power suddenly increase by 160 points..."

Xia Pingan glanced at her, feeling a little strange, "Senior Sister Hua, don't you remember what happened just now?"

"Yeah, as soon as I stepped through the door, I just remembered that I met an old man in that room just now. He invited the two of us to drink tea. We seemed to have said something to him and had a good chat. Other things I don't remember things, it's vague, like a dream..." Hua Xin struggled to recall, "By the way, I also heard that old man said that you can learn formations here, and I don't remember anything else. !"

Does that room have the ability similar to the mystery of the boundary in the boundary beads?

Looking at Hua Xin's appearance, it didn't seem like he was pretending at all. Xia Pingan couldn't help thinking of some things in the palace that Zhenjun Minghe had told him before coming in. He always felt that Zhenjun Minghe had introduced a lot. Things are vague and unclear. It seems that people who have experienced it can only have a general impression. The layout of the rooms in the shrine is not very clear. If some rooms are similar to the mystery of the boundary to a certain extent ability, it makes sense.

"Senior Sister Hua, I'm the same as you. I can't remember what happened inside. My divine power has also increased by 160 points now, and I also remember what the old man said that you can learn formations here..." Xia Ping said stupidly .

Hua Xin thought for a while, shook his head, let out a breath, and felt a little relieved on his face, "Forget it, the room we entered just now may be a little abnormal, but the two of us still got some benefits, so it should be regarded as passing the test." , I heard from my master before I came in that some of the rooms here may be like the world in Jiezhu, mysterious and unpredictable, and it will also affect memory, it seems to be true..."

"Well, it should be like this!" Xia Pingan quickly changed the subject, pointing to the stones in front of him, "I think there is something weird there, and there is another person fishing, why don't we go over and ask!"

"it is good!"

The two ran towards the distant stone scorpion, and after a while, they came to the back of the fisherman.

Beside the fisherman are those stone reels. The river in front of him is as green as emerald green and flowing quietly. Fish with chopsticks in the river jump out of the water from time to time, appearing full of vitality.

The one fishing here is an old man in coir raincoat. The old man's eyebrows and beard are snow-white. He turned around, glanced at the two of them, smiled, and took the initiative to speak, "It's been so many years, it's rare for anyone to come here, do you want to learn formations, those stone pestles in front are eight formations, The mysteries of the formation are all in it, you go by yourself, the Caolu next to it is my humble house, there is nothing else, don't ask me, how much you can get is your ability, enter the eight formations, one person, one world, you Even if the two go in together, they have to be separated. Looking at their respective fortunes, it seems that you are also destined. The killing method of the eight formations has not yet been activated. If the ability is not enough, they will not lose their lives. It's just a day..."

Hua Xin was extremely proud. When he heard the old man's words, he didn't say a word, but just glanced at Xia Ping'an, "I'll go and see..." After saying this, Hua Xin flashed and rushed into the stone bed , as soon as the figure was covered by the mist, it disappeared.

That feeling was very strange. Hua Xin was still in front of Xia Pingan just now, but as soon as she flew into the range of those stone pestles, the mist rolled over and she disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Haha, this girl has a high spirit..." The old fishing man smiled and shook his head, then turned his head again and looked at his fishing rod.

Xia Pingan was not in a hurry to go in. He squinted his eyes and looked at the old man carefully, with many thoughts rolling in his head. After Hua Xin left, Xia Pingan adjusted his clothes, saluted the old man respectfully, and coughed lightly. With a voice, "Xia Ping'an, a disciple of the descendants of Yanhuang, has met senior, but he hasn't asked senior about Gao's name?"

When the old man heard Xia Ping'an's words, he was slightly taken aback, his head that had already been turned away, turned around again, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Xia Ping'an from head to toe, "What did you just say, where are you from? "

"The junior Xia Ping'an is a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, a descendant of the great Han..."

The old man stared at Xia Pingan for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled, "I'm just a villager, so I don't need to mention my name, but you are interesting, and the secret of the eight formations lies in the rocks in front of you." , how many people come here just for this, you put away those mysterious formations instead of exploring to find opportunities, but you come here to chat with me, an old fishing man, interesting, interesting, could it be that you are trying to catch me, a villager? How many salted fish?"

Xia Pingan also laughed, "When I saw the senior, I felt that I was destined to have a relationship with the senior. I wanted to chat with the senior. What's so interesting about those piles of dead stones? No one is interested in anything. I want to talk to the senior. Let's chat and be satisfied..."

"Go, go, go, don't interfere with my fishing!" The old man smiled and waved his hand, "If you want to chat with me, do me a favor, go to the woodshed of my grass stove by yourself, and make me a Things come out, I live alone in this mountain, I am often harassed by wolves, I don’t have any weapons in hand, I am not good at wielding knives and swords, sometimes it is a problem to protect myself, if you can help me, I would like to have a chat with you!"

"What does senior want me to do?"

"I don't know, what do you think I can use to repel the wolves?" the old man asked back.

"Okay, wait a minute, senior. I'll see if I can help senior and make something for senior to defend himself!" After Xia Pingan finished speaking, he ran towards the old man's grass stove. Next to the stove, there are a lot of wood in the firewood room, including charcoal, stakes, anvils, stoves, bellows, and some tools used by carpenters and blacksmiths. They occupy a small half of the yard, and they are placed casually. There seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

Xia Pingan glanced at the tools and wood in the woodshed, and he already had the answer in his mind. The next second, he picked up the tools, found the wood, and started to work.

First use a saw to cut down the wood, then use an ax and a plane to make a square, and then use an ink fountain to draw a line, and then continue to saw, chisel, and all kinds of tools are used.

Slowly, a crossbow gradually took shape in Xia Pingan's hands, but this crossbow was different from ordinary crossbows. In the middle of the crossbow, there was a wooden box like a magazine, which was inserted into the crossbow.

After the carpentry work was done, Xia Pingan lit the stove, lit the charcoal, pulled the bellows, found some discarded copper material in the yard, and smelted it...

After the copper material was smelted, he poured the copper juice into the sand mold he had prepared earlier, and several rough copper parts were finished.

Then it is to polish the copper parts and install the copper parts on the crossbow.

With Xia Ping'an's physical strength, he didn't eat or drink, and worked like a machine. After working for more than 20 hours, he finally made what he wanted.

It was a Zhuge Liannu. Before the appearance of the bursting firearm, this Zhuge Liannu was an invincible melee weapon on the battlefield!

This Zhuge Liannu is exactly the killer weapon invented by Zhuge Liang.

After completing the Zhuge crossbow, Xia Pingan shot an arrow, and the crossbow was wound and fired in one go. Within twenty steps, the arrows shot could easily penetrate the bamboo in the bamboo forest beside the thatched hut.

After confirming that there was no problem with the Zhuge Liannu, Xia Pingan took the Zhuge Liannu and came back to the old fishing man, offering the Zhuge Liannu with both hands, "Senior, do you think this self-defense weapon is still usable?"

The old fishing man held the Zhuge Liannu that Xia Ping'an handed over, his eyes slightly complicated, he stroked the body of the Liannu lightly with his hand, and sighed softly, "The people of later generations still remember the details of this crossbow. Is it a law?"

Xia Ping'an said respectfully, "This Liannu is the same as the Eight Arrays. It is a symbol of the civilization of our Chinese sages. It is a testimony to the ability of our Chinese sages to change the world. Ordinary people can't remember it. We who are studying, How can I forget, I made this crossbow by myself when I was studying, but it's not the first time I made it!"

"Oh, then how do you evaluate the person who made this crossbow back then?" asked the old man.

"The person who made this crossbow, who was knowledgeable about good fortune and knowledgeable about heaven and man, left behind a "Maqian Lesson" that has been known to future generations for thousands of years. He must also know about the evaluation, but since the seniors asked, The younger generation will answer with a couplet outside Wuhou Temple!" At this point, Xia Pingan cleared his throat and uttered a couplet, "King Qin is a good son and grandson, loyal to the third generation, and the history pen still praises the concubine Chen; the astonishing words of the teacher's list , Qianqiu shed tears, ink marks splashed with General Yue."

After Xia Ping'an finished speaking, the old fishing man's tears rolled down all at once...
