Divine Light Warrior

Li Kaiyang and the others found a good road. This road was much smoother to walk on. It was very flat, not so steep, and there was not so much ice. Moreover, there were many pedestrians coming and going on this road, which made them very happy. Happy, he walked to a tavern on the roadside. This tavern was opened by an old couple. Li Kaiyang took out the venison he brought with him and let them roast it. The old couple were also very happy. , said that after it was roasted, everyone who saw it would have a share, and Li Kaiyang did not object. Just like that, the venison was roasted in a short time, and everyone present shared a piece.

Everyone grinned and ate it. The venison was so delicious, and venison was a great tonic. After eating, even in the severe cold weather, the venison would not feel cold because of the venison. Li Kaiyang and Xiaolan While eating the fragrant venison, he admired the boss's cooking skills. The venison they roasted themselves was not so fragrant. How did he know that the boss had all kinds of condiments here? This has a lot to do with the condiments. With these condiments, the natural flavor of the venison can be fully brought out. While eating the venison, Li Kaiyang asked the boss: "Is the road ahead easy?"

The boss said: "The road ahead is to cross a bridge, and there is a toll on this bridge."

The friend they were traveling with said: "It's free of charge. It's better than taking a long way around. Moreover, it's very safe for us to walk from here. We won't slip and fall to death. This is also rare."

Li Kaiyang listened and agreed very much. Xiaolan said: "It's getting late, what should we do tonight?"

The boss said: "After eating your venison today, what if someone comes and wants to stay here again? I want to stay here..."

The old couple looked at each other and said, "We won't accept them anymore. There is another store in front. They should go find a place to live in front. If the store in front is full, there is a resting place by the roadside. They can rest there." You can buy some food to take away.

A dozen people happened to come. As expected, the old couple did not keep them. There happened to be some venison for these people. For five taels of silver a piece of meat, they were extremely happy. A dozen people bought the remaining meat separately. , Li Kaiyang did not object. He felt that the venison should be distributed to more people, which was also his wish, and the old couple also received an income from this, which he also liked.

There are plenty of things to eat here for the couple, including dry food, pork and mutton, but venison is too scarce. After the old man sold the venison, he smiled and said to Li Kaiyang, "Venison, it's a rare thing, you can share it with everyone. I sold it for two yuan, dozens of taels of silver, even if You spent the hotel money here tonight, you won’t object, right?”

He thought that Li Kaiyang and these people were in the same group. In fact, they just met temporarily. Li Kaiyang nodded and said: "Very good, very good, I have no objection. It is because of this marriage that they had a warm night." To be honest, this small hotel built by the old man has such a flat place on the cliff. It is really rare. To be honest, there are only three or four houses. Behind it is the place where the old couple lives. There is a small yard in front. When people eat, they put up a piece of cloth for shade and place four or five tables. People eat in this courtyard. There is a larger hall in the house that can accommodate three or two tables. It would be a bit crowded to accommodate four. , you can also eat inside. Generally, it is cooler in summer and people are outside. In winter, when the north wind blows and the snow falls, people will know it. Sister Wuli ate it. Fortunately, there are not many guests passing by in winter. Most people come here to drink a cup of tea, scoop some water, eat something, and fill their stomachs in the summer. But the season we are in now is late autumn, and it is almost the beginning of winter, so the weather has gradually turned cold, and the north wind is blowing. It was very tight. The temperature had dropped in the past two days and they all felt extremely cold. Being able to live in one of his thatched houses today was honestly a rare and good place.

Li Kaiyang felt much warmer when he entered the house. There was a large room on the left and a large room on the right. Logically speaking, the left and right were divided into men and women. Men lived on the left and women lived on the right. However, there was only one woman today, and most of them were men. , so Xiaolan was arranged to live with the old couple, and the old man lived with them in the big house. The old couple arranged it well, letting the old lady live with Xiaolan, and Li Kaiyang lived with these People live in Datongpu. Each room on the left and right of Datongbu can accommodate a dozen people. It is no problem to squeeze in one more person and sleep in it. Moreover, the house is very tightly packed. There is a north wind outside, but it is very quiet inside. of warmth. Everyone, including Xiaolan, was still awake, so they sat in the hall and lit the butter candles. More than a dozen people sat around and chatted with the old shopkeeper.

The old shopkeeper and his wife poured everyone a cup of hot tea, and then they burned their unique local good tea on the stove and said to everyone: "We are rich in a kind of bitter leaf tea here. After drinking this tea, It clears the mind and improves eyesight. We, an old couple, often drink this kind of tea. You want to try it today and see how it tastes?"

One of them understood the weight of this bitter leaf tea and said: "Bitter leaf tea is a very rare and good tea. Ordinary tea can only be sold for one tael of silver per pound or two. This bitter leaf tea costs five taels of silver for one tael." , we have such a blessing today, that is great.

As he spoke, he took a sip, then nodded and said, "It's really good tea. I have never encountered such a taste. Today I can taste the taste of bitter leaf tea."

When everyone heard what he said was so magical, they all tried it, but they couldn't feel any special taste in their mouths. It was no different from other teas, only a faint bitter taste, which other teas sometimes have. It tasted bitter, so people stuck out their tongues to express their disapproval, and that person seemed to be flattering, but the flattery he was flattering was of little value. The two old couples had neither power nor status in the wilderness. What kind of flattery is he trying to flatter?

Sure enough, there was another person who knew tea. He stood up and said, "I know you think this tea is very ordinary. In fact, it's a bit early for you to say it now. After a while, your eyes will feel cold, and after drinking it in your stomach, It makes a slurping sound, which is different from other teas."

When he said this, someone felt that way a little bit and said, "Oh, my eyes feel a little cool, and my stomach starts to feel warm."

After he reminded everyone, everyone felt this way. The person said: "I saw that the value of this kind of tea is not the taste, but its magical effect. People bring it out for us to eat." Drink, let me tell you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don’t waste it if you have this opportunity, you should eat and drink, you must have enough to eat and drink today."

After he finished speaking, he poured another glass and drank it. The old couple said, "You want to drink more of such good tea, but I really don't have it. This is something I have collected for many years. There is only one bitter tea tree here and it is not big. I cut the tenderest ones in March every year." I have to pick a few taels and put them in a sand porcelain jar to preserve them. I am afraid that the smell of the tea will be wetted, so I have to put them in a ventilated and cool place. In winter, I have to cover them to prevent them from freezing. , tell me how valuable this kind of tea is. The fact that you can drink one or two taels today is because I took out my old capital. It was also this little brother who donated a few taels of venison and made me a fortune, so That’s why I’m so interested in letting you drink such good tea.”

The old man became more and more interested as he talked. The old lady next to him nudged her with her elbow and said, "Did you drink too much? Why are you drunk even if you don't drink? You can just drink if you let everyone drink. Stop bragging here. I'm a guest." Officer, people from the south and north have much more experience than you, this tea is not considered good, even the Xinyang Maojian Longjing Tieguanyin is better than our tea."

The person who knew tea smiled and said, "Mom, you can't say that. I've tasted West Lake Longjing and Tieguanyin Xinyang Maojian. Compared with this tea, it's a world of difference. I'm lucky enough to drink it from you today." This tea is the most beautiful thing in the world."

The old man was very excited when he was praised like this. He nodded and said with a smile, "You kid is really good at talking. If you drink one more drink later, you will look like a wise man. I am thinking here, take a sip of that." The old man still doesn’t agree, he always shakes his head and says that this tea is not easy to wait for distinguished guests to come before taking it out to drink, it seems that there are more than ten distinguished guests.”

As soon as he said these words, the dozen or so people all felt very relieved, and everyone nodded at the same time, and their respect and admiration for the old man became even more profound. Suddenly someone asked, "I heard that there is a wealthy family living on this hillside. Is it true?"

As soon as the old lady heard that this person was very well-informed, she asked him, "How do you know that we do have a big family here, but not many people know about it, because they have almost no contact with the outside world. I heard that the family seems to have heard of it beforehand." It is an escape. The chaos of the Qin Dynasty came here, which can also be said to be a paradise. The place where they live is indeed a slope on the mountain. There is no road to them. If you want to go to them, you have to climb the mountain. When crossing the cliff, you have to use your hands to climb a rope. On the other side of the cliff, his house is vermilion red and wine green. The house is very grand, and no one knows how they eat or drink. Because of this There is no one who has lived there for many years. We are just on the other side. From a distance, we can see that their family is living very prosperously. We don’t know how their house was built or how they got all the food and drink. Anyway, we can When we see a particularly beautiful woman, she often sits on the edge of a cliff or a mountain stream, dressing up in front of the water. People think she is the most beautiful woman in the world. We also see it from a distance, but if we look up close, we don’t know what the effect will be. ”

After the old lady said this, everyone present widened their eyes and looked at the adults who thought it was very magical and incredible.

Li Kaiyang did not expect such a harvest. He did not expect that there would be such a magical thing that they could not imagine. There was an isolated family living on the cliff, and they lived very prosperously. Their life was almost complete. He understood the mystery, so Li Kaiyang also asked, "Will we pass in front of them when we go to the Taoist temple?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "If you want to go there, you have to change your route. When you get to the cliff, you can't cross the cliff. After passing the cliff, you won't be able to see. Then you go north along the cliff. It's about ten miles. It's quite difficult to walk for ten miles. It's almost a slope. It's very steep. You will see a beautiful pavilion on the other side. It's such a big manor. You can see it from a distance. I don’t know how many members of the family there are, but they are living a prosperous life as they come and go.”

Li Kaiyang became interested as soon as he heard it. Not only was he interested, but the dozen or so people were also interested. Someone stood up and said, "How about we go and have a look? Anyway, we can't miss it and burn incense in the Taoist temple."

Li Kaiyang came here this time to collect the clouds from the top of the mountain. However, after learning about this matter, he also became interested, so he echoed everyone and said, "Yes, go and take a look."

Xiaolan was unhappy on the side, and he murmured in a low voice, "You get excited when you hear about a beautiful woman, don't you? Why don't you go and I'll go by myself, there's someone down there waiting for your help. , do you have time to see that beauty?"

Li Kaiyang knew that he had made a mistake just now. He also felt that he couldn't hold it in any longer, so he smiled sheepishly and said, "In that case, we won't go."

But Xiaolan felt that she was afraid of spoiling his fun. At the same time, he had a little selfishness. Of course, this kind of selfishness could not be made public. He pouted and said, "Just go and come back as soon as possible."

Li Kaiyang knew that Xiaolan was very reasonable, so he smiled and nodded.

On the second day, everyone had a good rest. Xiaolan felt very warm in the old lady's room, while Li Kaiyang and everyone were crowded in the room on the left, which was also very warm. He had never slept so well in such a long time. After a good sleep, in the morning the old man gave them stewed mutton soup and fragrant rice for them to eat. Everyone wanted to give the old shopkeeper money, but the old shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Sell that little venison, and it will be enough for you." This is something people can use."

So they politely declined their accommodation fee. The dozen or so people said goodbye to the old man and headed towards the place he mentioned. Climbing up for more than ten miles is not an easy task. When Xiaolan reached the edge of the cliff, she saw a chain bridge leading directly to the other side. Although the distance of the bridge was not too long, the bridge would never reach the other side. Yes, there was a small shack set up at the end of the bridge, and someone was on duty in the shack. It seemed like he was collecting tolls here. Li Kaiyang and the others ignored him. They saw a path on the side leading directly to the south, which was exactly what the old lady said, so The leader pointed to the road and said, "Let's go up there and have a look." So people helped each other. Head towards the goal they want to go to.
