Dust and Ember Song

Chapter 18 The Old Story of Yunmengze ([-])
When he left Yunmengze, he couldn't let go of the beautiful scenery in his heart, but he had no reason to return.

He saw some ghosts hiding by the side of the road, of course he knew these ghost servants.

Come out, don't you know who I am?

All the ghost servants trembled, seeing that this man had an extraordinary bearing, most likely he was an immortal, so they immediately knelt down and begged the immortal to spare his life.

Among the nearly ten black-clothed ghost servants, except for one with a white head, the rest are all blue.

He thought about it, Yunmeng Lake is far away from the human world, and it is definitely not a place under the jurisdiction of tigers, so how could there be ghost servants here.Say, what are you doing here?
The ghost servant with the white will-o'-the-wisp on his head replied, we are here by the order of the tiger in Guozhou to investigate a person, and we don't intend to disturb the immortal.

Is Guozhou Tiger Chu Ge?He couldn't help chuckling.

Immortals have a good memory, and my master is indeed Chu Ge.The ghost servant is even more sure that this person is a great god.

He raised his hand to signal the ghost servants to get up.

Why follow the people who live in this Daze?
The immortals don't know that this woman pretends to be a Taoist immortal teacher to solve people's doubts, and uses immortal methods to break the precepts of the world.Therefore, I was ordered to investigate.

This matter was originally handled by your tiger, so I shouldn't ask about it.But this woman in the big lake is a friend of mine, she has superb mana, and it will be embarrassing for you to go, why not...

Also ask the fairy to express it clearly.The white fire ghost cupped his hands.

You just pass on what I entrusted to you to your tiger, and he will understand.

Immediately, he took a crabapple jade pendant from his waist, and the white fire ghost servant respectfully took it over. After saluting to him with the blue fire ghost servants, he turned into a black shadow and flew away quickly.

He never thought that the woman would be so interesting, pretending to be a fairy, and explaining people's doubts, he was even more curious about her.

As the night was dark, he still couldn't help but return, hesitating at the edge of Daze, not knowing whether he should disturb him again, never thought, she seemed to sense his arrival.

A few days ago, I always felt that someone was following me, but that person was you?She was neither frightened nor surprised.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still had that spring-like tone, it wasn't me.

Blame the son, sorry.She bowed slightly.

She invited him to drink tea in Shenyan Building, the tea was refreshing and infinitely beautiful.He couldn't help asking, this tea is really the best, comparable to all the teas I have ever drunk.

Different geographical conditions lead to great differences in tea production.

I dare to ask the girl for some tea, I don't know...

It's not that I'm narrow-minded, it's just that this tea is so rare, I don't have much left in my tea pot, and it's hard to wrap it up and give it to you.She was slightly moved.

No problem, but I'm curious about the origin of this tea.

This tea comes from Huaishan, a gift from a hermit.

She talked about how she strayed into Huai Mountain that day.

It was the first time she wanted to go to the human world, but she was not proficient in immortality. She stumbled and flew for an unknown amount of time. She was so exhausted that she collapsed under the shade of a forest, sleeping soundly in the faint fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers.After waking up, I saw a strange man leaning against the locust tree, eating some berries.

She got up, rubbed her eyes, and made sure that he was a real person, not an illusion. She hadn't seen him for a long time.She looked at him with bright eyes, and there was a hideous scar on the right side of her cheek, with both immortal and evil spirits coexisting.

Who are you?She saw that he had eaten many berries without saying a word, and she also felt thirsty.

Seeing this, he threw one to her.No one has ever been to this mountain, why are you here?

I want to go to the world, but I got lost halfway here.She bit the juicy fruit and muttered.

No one sets foot here, you are No.1 besides me.

why?This place is not an illusion like her Yunmengze.

This mountain, below the mountainside is the enchanted forest. Anyone who comes here will be injured by the poisonous mist of the locust tree, and will be taken away by the bloodthirsty deer Wuying around after death.

She almost choked when she heard it, and coughed lightly, I said how could she sleep so deeply after smelling the Sophora japonica flower, that's why.

These poisonous mist are only effective on people with average mana, and cannot hurt you.

She was a little apprehensive that he could recognize her own celestial power, why did you live in this mountain for a long time?

He led her to the thatched hut in the bamboo forest of Huaishan Mountain.

I was originally from the Demon Realm, but after I failed in cultivation, I wandered here.

This thatched cottage is really unique.

His thatched cottage is in a bamboo forest, with a simple style and a light blue color, which looks very meaningful and intriguing.

This mountain has aura, so I choose to hide here.

Because there are some locust trees that emit poisonous mist?
Yes, and no, although dangerous places are taboo, some extraordinary things are born just because no one disturbs them.

He handed her the brewed tea, and the room was full of fragrance, which lingered for a long time.

The fragrance of this tea is clear and refreshing.

The extraordinary thing in this mountain is a clump of tea trees growing on the rock wall under the cliff. I have been raising them for many years. As long as it rains in this mountain, the tea leaves can be picked.

It rains from time to time, so it can be picked frequently.She is afraid of the distressed disease that comes with the rain, but she also hopes that there will be more tea leaves.

No, the rain is only twice a year, and every time the rain comes, I take a bath and burn incense, which means to wash away distracting thoughts, and carry a basket to pick.I remember that it rained the year before last, and I was in a hurry to go there, but the tea leaves withered and turned yellow before I washed them.It never snows in this mountain, and it was covered with snow that night, and it did not retreat for several days.After that, the snow stopped, and I went to see that the tea tree had turned green again.He is very happy.

It's amazing.Although there are only a few tea trees, he loves so purely and sincerely, and is also chic.

You can take some with you. If you like to drink, you can come here every year to get some.

...Are you no longer going out of the mountain in this life?
Yes, I don't want to live the life I used to. Now I just do some ordinary things, which wins my heart.

She was amazed at his determination, unlike her own reason of looking for ginseng, wanting to play around.He had gone through many painful pasts before he made up his mind to settle down here.

My name is Fu Cang. If there is a destiny, I will see you again.

I will always be here and will not leave. If you want to come, you can come anytime.He smiled softly, as if relieved, the hermit of Huaishan, Ji Feng.

After listening to the story, Kong Chen pondered.

Not long after, I integrated what I knew about Ji Feng, the hermit who was good at raising tea, into a thread, and finally, I remembered one person.If he remembers correctly, Ji Feng is the only disciple of Heart Demon.

Ji Feng was once a strand of abandoned soul picked up by the heart demon in Bailihuang, and he kept it for his own use, taught him spells, transformed him into a human form, and entered the demon world.Known in the five worlds, the magical power of the heart is boundless. No one has ever seen his true face, and he does not know where he came from. He is the master of the demon world, and no one can control him except destiny.

As for why the heart demon accepted Ji Feng as his disciple, no one knew.But hundreds of years ago, Ji Feng and the demon seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, he left alone and hid in a place, and the demon never found him.

It's getting dark at night, when will the young master set off?Fu Cang wanted to let him go.

To him, this is not asking, but speaking slowly, is she really so unwelcome to him?

Let's go now, thank you for the tea, miss.

It didn't know when it started to rain outside the window, pattering and continuous, he thought she could at least give him an umbrella, or let him wait for the rain to stop.

That's good, young master, be careful on the road.

With his slightly disappointed expression, she went upstairs and ignored him.

He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he must not be here because she gave the order to chase away guests like this, so he had no choice but to get up.

After this rain, Yunmengze is even more beautiful, even more graceful than the fairyland. It really is a place like clouds and dreams, which is too rare.

Just as he stepped out of the smokey building, without using any magic, just to feel the icy cold rain, he heard what seemed to be the woman's low voice, and he immediately flew to the source of the voice.

Fu Cang, what's wrong with you?He hugged her and felt sorry for her when he saw her in extreme pain.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, she grabbed his skirt and said weakly, this is my stubborn disease, it happens every time it rains.

He didn't know how to cure this distressing disease, so he hugged her tightly in panic, but could there be any medicine to relieve it?
I usually use ginseng as medicine, but I have been lazy recently and have never made it into pills. It is too late now, so I will bear it and wait until the rain stops.

If you don't mind, I can use a spell to make you temporarily unconscious, and wake you up after the rain stops.

No need to.

He joked, are you afraid that I will do something wrong to you?
You look out the window.She clutched her heart, gradually recovering her strength.

The rain outside the window has weakened, and there is a low-pitched sound of dew dripping from the branches on the bluestone slab.After the rain, the peach blossom tree exudes intoxicating fragrance, which makes people love.
