In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warblers fly. It is a good time for the recovery of all things. The capital is full of pear blossoms like clouds and snow. The gentle spring breeze is wrapped in white and finely crushed petals. .

Since Emperor Lingxue repaired the seal of the Demon Realm three years ago, the Kyushu Continent has enjoyed good weather and good weather in recent years, the Liang Dynasty has enjoyed prosperity and the people have lived in peace, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and the capital has been prosperous and prosperous.

Tianshui Hutong at the east gate of the capital is a famous gourmet street in the capital. Today coincides with Xiumu, and the alley is extremely lively, bustling with men, women and children, and vendors shouting one after another.

"Candied haws, candied haws, big and sweet candied haws~ Hey, little girl, don't you want a bunch? Only two copper coins!"

"Hot and sour jelly, delicious hot and sour jelly, would you like a bowl?"

"Don't miss it when you pass by, our Chicken Shredded Dandan Noodles are unique in Beijing!"

Among the many shops that are trying to sell, a tea shop is very low-key, there is no waiter shouting loudly at the door, and there is no smiling face of the proprietress to welcome customers, only a green cloth sign of "Zhou Ji Herbal Tea Shop" is picked out at the door .

Although there was no hawking, the tea shop was already full of people, and it was bustling with activity. Obviously, the business was very good.

A young man stood still at the door of the tea shop. He was handsome, about 27 or [-] years old, dressed in a moon white brocade robe, and brought a clever servant with him. He was obviously a son of a wealthy family.

He glanced at the shop full of customers and hesitated a little, as if he wanted to try the tea from this shop but felt a little crowded.

The servant next to him said loudly: "Is there any seat left?"

Several other guests waiting for seats also shouted: "Add a few more tables!"

"Okay, here we come!" There was a tall pear tree outside the door of the tea shop, and a girl quickly set up a few small tables under the pear tree.

She smiled and said, "Guest officers, please sit here."

A regular customer said with a smile: "Miss Qingluo, you are so capable, it's time for Boss Zhou to give you extra money!"

Qingluo smiled heartily: "Haha, I'll tell my husband later that he should give me extra money! Everyone, sit down wherever you want!"

The young man in brocade hesitated for a moment, as if he disliked the crude little table, but he sat down anyway, and ordered a pot of herbal tea and a plate of pastries.

The table next to it seemed to be full of regular customers. As soon as they sat down, an uncle chatted with great interest: "This week, the owner of the tea shop is proficient in the pharmacopoeia. His tea has added a lot of medicinal materials, which can nourish the health and warm the stomach in winter. Clearing away heat and dampness, relieving heat and reducing internal heat in summer, eliminating food and reducing phlegm in autumn, and the taste is sweet and sweet. For more than two years, I have been going to his house to drink morning tea every day, and I feel that my bones have become much stronger."

Immediately someone echoed: "Yes, yes, and paired with his glutinous rice cakes, tsk tsk, it's amazing!"

The uncle sighed just now: "The weather has been good these years, and the lives of our common people are getting better and better. Not only are there rice and flour every meal, but they can also come out to fight teeth. How can it be like those days before, when you always eat the last meal? After a while, the dolls are all pale and emaciated from hunger."

"Hey, in the past, there were droughts and floods, and those immortal masters in the cultivation world didn't care about it. They only cared about their own cultivation. Thanks to Emperor Lingxue, after he repaired the seal of the demon world, he reorganized the hundred sects of the cultivation world. Incorporating saving the world and helping the people into the practice, we have such a good life."

The uncle nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Lingxiao City and Xuanyuan City are in charge of things, Emperor Lingxue's perfect golden elixir, and Emperor Xuanyuan's three-fold nine-turn, they can call the wind and call the rain, omnipotent, since the two of them took action, never again There has never been a famine."

"Lingxiao City and Xuanyuan City make the world smooth and rainy. The small sects in various states and prefectures practice medicine and help the poor. I never thought that those high-ranking immortal masters would actually treat us common people."

An old lady also sighed: "Yes, there were many tricks in wanting to enter the fairy gate before, but now children from poor families can also participate in the apprentice acceptance meeting. As long as they have good qualifications and work hard, they can enter the immortal gate. It's not like before, you have to pay money to those outer disciples."

"By the way, I heard that last time Lingxiao City took in several poor family disciples, and now they are all inner disciples of the fourth-turn Jindan."

Someone immediately cheered up: "What is the four-turn golden elixir? I heard that the little prince of Rongwang's mansion is the little Rongwang who worshiped under Xuanyuan Emperor. When he returned to Beijing to visit relatives in the spring of this year, he was Five-turn golden elixir."

"Hey, that's because of his good luck. Emperor Lingxue is No.1 in the world, but he never accepts disciples. Emperor Xuanyuan respects the triple nine-turn golden pill, and his cultivation level is second only to Emperor Lingxue. It seems that he only accepts four disciples." Disciple, that little King Rong is really lucky to be worshiped by Emperor Xuanyuan."

"That's right, that's Emperor Xuanyuan. With such a master, let alone the fifth-rank golden elixir, the sixth-rank golden elixir is no problem."

Everyone talked a lot, and they all showed extreme envy.

Hearing these gossips, the young man in Jinpao couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips, as if he was in an extremely good mood.

The servant next to him lowered his voice and said, "My lord, it seems that the common people in the capital know about your reputation as a five-turn golden elixir."

King Xiaorong suppressed his smile, pretending to be indifferent and said: "The five-turn golden elixir is just an intermediate monk, Master, his old man is a triple-level nine-turn golden elixir, I have to continue to work hard, and I can't lose his old man's face."

The little servant flattered and said: "Go back this time, Emperor Xuanyuan and his old man will give you some natural and earthly treasures, and the sixth-rank golden pill is just one step away!"

King Xiaorong nodded reservedly, with a smile on his face that couldn't be concealed: "Yes, Master has always treated me very well, he said thirteen words to me last month, and even pointed out a trick to me personally. .”

At this time, someone at the next table gossips again: "Speaking of cultivating immortals, I wonder if those powerful immortals can catch monsters?"

Suddenly someone came to the spirit: "What monster?"

The man before lowered his voice: "We're making trouble in Tianshui Hutong, don't you know?"

Someone's eyes widened: "Is this true?"

"Of course it is true. At the end of last month, my cousin went to fetch water from the ancient well at the entrance of the alley early in the morning. She saw a man standing under the pear tree at the entrance of the alley. He had black hair in Tsing Yi and snow-white complexion. His hair had grown to his ankles. It's so beautiful, like a fairy, my cousin was dumbfounded at the time, and guess what happened?"

"What's the matter?"

"That man has a big white tail behind him. He is a fox fairy! My cousin screamed in fright, and he jumped up the wall and ran away lightly!"

"My God, is there really a fox fairy?"

"After my cousin went back, she was so scared that she fell ill. Fortunately, the boss of this tea shop kindly sent a cup of herbal tea to calm the mind and calm the mind. That's all."

Someone laughed: "Boss Zhou is so handsome, and the herbal tea and cakes he makes are the best in the capital. He took the initiative to send herbal tea to your cousin. Could it be... To be honest, if your cousin can marry him , and you will enjoy yourself in the future.”

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, my cousin has rough hands and feet, how can people fall in love with her..."

King Xiao Rong listened to them chatting about the good-looking Boss Zhou for a while, and then took two sips of herbal tea. It was indeed sweet and delicious, with a faint effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, as well as a hint of elixir.

He couldn't help being a little curious, so he raised his chin to the boy: "Call out and have a look."

The boy nodded, and called the girl named Qingluo: "Miss Qingluo, my young master wants to meet your boss."

Qingluo blinked her eyes, looked at the master and servant generously, and then smiled brightly: "Mr. is resting in the backyard. I will tell him, but he may not come out."

Behind Zhou Ji Herbal Tea Shop is a small clean yard. Although it is not too big, it is well cleaned and there is a grape trellis set up, which is very beautiful.

At this moment, Zhou Yue was sitting under the grape shelf, flipping through a pile of letters and chatting with the system.

"System, when I went to the nursing home a few days ago, I read my grandma's physical examination report. Grandma's blood lipids are a bit high. I asked the doctor in charge to add a lipid-lowering drug. How is it now?"

[It has already come down, the host, please rest assured. 】The practice system said.

"That's good." Zhou Yue nodded.

After completing the mission three years ago, he left Ling Xiao City, then returned to the real world, and exchanged his lucky points for his grandma's successful operation.

Grandma's operation was successfully completed. He stayed with grandma in the hospital for a while, sent Xiaoling to university, and then returned to the world of books to open this Zhou Ji herbal tea shop.

Because he completed two missions, gained a lot of points and rewards, and unlocked a lot of new permissions, he asked 001 to adjust the flow of time on both sides, open a herbal tea shop, and occasionally go back for two or three months to accompany grandma Look at Xiaoling.

Everything is fine in the real world. He exchanged his points for a lot of money and allowed his grandma to live in a high-end nursing home with its own hospital. There are many patients in it. Grandma has made many friends. She plays mahjong and dances in the square every day. up.

Zhou Xiaoling went to a 985 school, and even made a boyfriend. No matter how Zhou Yue thought that man was not pleasing to the eye, she felt that she was not good enough for her sister, but she couldn't help her... Bah, bah, bah, brother, Zhou Xiaoling Like it, he can only hold his nose and bear it.

Everything is fine in the real world, and the world in the book is also very smooth.

His small tea shop has a prosperous business, a good reputation, and has earned a lot of money. In the final analysis, it is because Gu Xuecheng and Bai Chenyu have done a lot of good things these years, and the Kyushu mainland has good weather, so the common people have extra money to drink tea.

Well, occasionally there are still some accidents. For example, last month he met a senior monk with an eight-rank golden core. The other party thought he was a fox demon and chased him for more than half of the capital. , unable to maintain a human body, directly showed her tail, and even frightened a little girl into a sickness.

Fortunately, there was fog that day, and the little girl was overly frightened, and her memory was a little confused, so she didn't recognize that the fox fairy was his Boss Zhou.

001 once asked him, since the mission was completed, why did he continue to stay in the world of books?

Zhou Yue explained at the time that not long after the first mission was completed, the world in the book became unstable, so that a second mission was required.So this time, he wanted to stay for a few more years, and wait for the world in the book to stabilize before considering whether to leave here completely and return to the real world.

001 also understands his hesitation. After completing the mission, many book runners choose to stay. In addition to what Zhou Yue said, besides wanting to stabilize the world in the book, there is another important reason, which is the real world. Although it is very warm, with family and friends, but life is very short, but the world in the book has thousands of years of long years.

But 001 was wrong about this point. Zhou Yue didn't want to prolong his life. He always felt that the quality of life was more important than the length of life. .

It is said that emotions are easy to deceive people's eyes, and beauty is in the eyes of lovers. In fact, it is the same in reverse. It was precisely because Gu Xuecheng did and said things about Yunxuelou that Zhou Yue couldn't think calmly at that time, and believed it directly. Those extremely cruel words.

Although everything was false, it didn't mean that he wasn't hurt, that he could heal quickly, let go completely, and treat Gu Xuecheng almost pamperingly as he did in the past.

It's just that besides those injuries, he also knew more things.

He knew that Gu Xuecheng had been waiting for him for 12 years; he knew that Gu Xuecheng wanted to shatter the golden core and go with him; Going to die alone, let the most hated Bai Chenyu take him away...

Therefore, Zhou Yue had no choice but to simply abandon Gu Xuecheng, the child he had protected for many years, and the young man he had truly admired.

Therefore, he chose this compromise method, giving himself some time, and also giving Gu Xuecheng some time, while waiting for the world in the book to stabilize, while sorting out the feelings between the two of them that are constantly being cut and messed up.

In the past three years, Gu Xuecheng has come to him several times, and he invited him out calmly and politely. Once, Gu Xuecheng was unwilling and sneaked in in the middle of the night, wanting to kiss him secretly. At the corner of the bed, the whole person couldn't help shaking, and even subconsciously began to beg, begging the other party not to let him entertain guests, he was willing to do anything.

Recalling the situation at that time, Zhou Yue couldn't help but smiled wryly. He was having a nightmare at the time, but was awakened by Gu Xuecheng's kiss. Begging to curry favor with Gu Xuecheng, saying incoherently that he would serve him, but begging him not to let him entertain guests... It's really embarrassing.

At that time, Gu Xuecheng looked at him, the blood on his snow-white and handsome face was gone, he looked like he was about to cry, he didn't know what to do, and finally left in a daze, never came to harass him again.

Zhou Yue sighed, stopped thinking about those messy things, and flipped through the pile of letters in front of him. Most of the letters were contacts with tea merchants, such as contracts, bank notes, and some of them were from the cultivation world. news.

Well, this letter is from Lin Siyun. Three years ago, Lin Siyun finally got the full version of "The Legend of Huanhuan". Over the years, she has been researching it like a raging fire. She can be called a tenth-level scholar of "The Legend of Huanhuan", and she often writes to communicate with him. experience.

Well, this letter is from Bai Chenyu. Over the years, Bai Chenyu has taken in a few incompetent apprentices, and has become a respectable master. He has become more mature, but in front of him, he still occasionally acts something childish.

Speaking of it, Bai Chenyu seems to be coming to the capital at the end of March, and it's just the last few days.

"Sir, sir!"

Xu Qingluo's voice brought Zhou Yue back to his senses, he raised his head and asked, "Qingluo, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yue didn't like strangers very much. After opening a small tea shop, she recruited Xu Qingluo and Zhi'er. Xu Qingluo was in charge of entertaining the guests and calculating the money, and Zhi'er was in charge of making tea and making cakes. Other than that, there is no one else.

Xu Qingluo has now grown into a capable and quick girl, and she is no longer timid when speaking, but has become very straightforward: "Sir, there is a guest who wants to see you, can you see me?"

"Oh, there's nothing left and right, I'll go and have a look." Zhou Yue nodded.

He wasn't surprised. Every now and then a guest would drink his tea or eat his cakes and would feel so amazed that they would want to meet the boss or even poach a corner, but he would politely decline them all.

Zhou Yue put down the letter in her hand, followed Xu Qingluo out of the small courtyard, and came outside the tea shop.

Xu Qingluo brought him to a table and introduced him, "Guest officer, this is the owner of our Zhouji herbal tea shop."

Zhou Yue cupped her hands and said, "Hi, next week Yue, what can I do?"

King Xiao Rong raised his head, only to feel a sudden light in front of his eyes. This Boss Zhou is about 25 or [-] years old. He is dressed in a clean sky-blue shirt. Very comfortable.

King Xiaorong was born in a wealthy family, and he was not jealous of men and women. During these years of cultivation in Xuanyuan City, he restrained himself a little, but now that he left Xuanyuan City, his heart was about to move again.

Wouldn't it be great if such an elegant person was taken into the palace and enjoyed for two months?

He winked at the servant, and the servant knew his master's preferences, so he naturally understood, and said in a low voice: "Boss Zhou, my little prince is very satisfied with your tea, and I would like to invite you to Prince Rong's Mansion."

The atmosphere in Daliang is open, especially in the capital city. After Jinrui Building and other small buildings were banned a few years ago, many princes and nobles who love masculinity have other crooked ideas, such as good-looking men from good families.

Zhou Yue looks very good, and Zhou Ji Herbal Tea Shop has a slight reputation. He has also encountered a lot of harassment in these years, but it is the first time to be harassed by the royal family and nobles.

King Xiao Rong said in a low voice: "Xiao Wang is willing to give you a hundred taels of gold as a gift. Boss Zhou, please come to the mansion to talk about it."

Zhou Yue was speechless for a while, and said lightly: "The tea in the small shop is rough, and my temperament is even more dull, so I won't come to bother the little prince."

King Xiaorong was slightly taken aback, but soon realized that the weather in Daliang has been good and the people are very rich these years. This week, the medicinal tea shop seems to have a prosperous business, and it seems that there is no shortage of money, so he is not interested in gold hundred taels.

Looking at Zhou Yue's indifferent look, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He wasn't discouraged, but instead aroused his competitive spirit. He still didn't believe it. How could he not win the boss of a small herbal tea shop?

By the way, almost everyone in the Liang Dynasty yearned for cultivating immortals. He was an introductory disciple of Emperor Xuanyuan and a rank five Golden Core cultivator. These thunderous identities may be more useful than the name of the little prince.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Xiao Wang shouldn't mention such vulgar things as gold and silver. Boss Zhou's wind spirit is handsome, and he seems to have a good foundation. Under Emperor Zun's seat, he has now cultivated a five-rank golden elixir by luck."

"...Are you the disciple of Emperor Xuanyuan?" Zhou Yue was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this person was actually Bai Chenyu's disciple.

Zhou Yue usually called Bai Chenyu "Xiaoyu" in his mouth, but complained in his heart as "that boy Bai Chenyu". When he mentioned the pretentious title of Emperor Xuanyuan, he really couldn't react.

Seeing that Zhou Yue was very surprised, King Xiao Rong immediately regained his spirits: "Emperor Xuanyuan is the mentor who taught me his career. His old man is now a triple-nine-turn golden elixir, and there is no one in the world except the one from Lingxiao City." Enemy."

Old man... Zhou Yue thought of Bai Chenyu's forever 23-year-old face, so beautiful that he was almost mean, and choked on the tea: "Ahem..."

"Boss Zhou, don't be so excited." Xiao Rong Wang couldn't help laughing, and then lowered his voice, "Is Boss Zhou interested in cultivating immortals? You are a little older, and it may be difficult, but Xiao Wang feels that you are very close , I am willing to double cultivate with you, and to draw Qi into your body for you."
