Forced to be a villain, my righteousness comes first

Chapter 53
What is this ghost?

Li Xing was extremely surprised. The moment he saw Mingjing Zongmen, his jaw almost dropped from shock.

Staring at the three-foot-long vermilion gate in front of him, and the plaque inlaid with gold and jade carvings on the gate rail, the three big characters of "Mingjingzong" shone with golden brilliance, almost blinding his eyes.

From South Third Street to East Sixth Street, from the moment you enter East Sixth Street, you can see the walls of this building. The walls are not high, only 3 meters, but the red walls and blue tiles, and the occasional ginkgo trees come out of the wall, but they also complement each other. .

It's just that the length of the wall was a bit unexpected. Li Xing followed Gong Yi and walked a full 1000 meters before he saw the gate of Mingjingzong.

This area is all the sects of the Mingjing Sect, which is like a huge city. Even the Lan Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion in Shili City that I have visited before are not even scum in front of this building.

Is this still the dilapidated sect I imagined?

Before coming here, Li Xing had actually prepared himself mentally. He saw a dilapidated thatched hut where his brothers and sisters were struggling for their next meal.

But I didn't expect that what caught my eyes was the magnificent Qionglou Yuyu, so many pavilions.

Seeing the expression of Li Xing standing in front of the sect and looking up at the plaque, Gong Yi was slightly puzzled.

But as Li Xing cast his eyes on the gilded brick pillars and pure gold plaques around him, he immediately understood his doubts.

Then he replied with an embarrassed smile.

"The main reason is that the suzerain likes this kind of tone..."

"Don't care, don't care!"

Li Xing's eyes have become dazed. This bizarre fact that deviates greatly from the scene he imagined made him unable to recover.

Entering the Zongmen through the side door, there is no one on duty. Behind the gate is a huge courtyard.

The courtyard covers more than 20 acres, with pavilions, corridors and sills, in which the water and stones reflect each other.

Elegant, spacious, luxurious and atmospheric.

expensive!
There was no one in the huge courtyard, and Gong Yi was used to it, leading Li Xing through the corridor.

The waist of the corridor is back, the eaves are pecked high, and the murals under the eaves are lifelike. The paintings seem to be all kinds of battle scenes, which should be the deeds of the ancestors of the Mingjing sect.

Walk to the end of the corridor, on the side of the screen wall, pass through the arched courtyard wall, and come to the next courtyard.

What came into view was an empty square covered with bluestone floors.

There are brackets full of all kinds of weapons, such as knives, guns, sticks, meteor hammers, blood drops, and Emei thorns. There are eighteen kinds of weapons.

It looked like the training ground of the Ming Jing sect, but at the moment the ground was empty, without any human habitation.

In the corner of the square, there is a solemn and solemn building with Zhu Zhuqing tiles. It is obvious that Gong Yi's goal is there.

The doors and windows were open, and there was no obstruction. Li Xing followed Gong Yi into the building, and saw that the mahogany floor was neatly spread out, and there was still no one inside. The futon, and on the wall behind the futon, there is a brush calligraphy with a size of 1 feet square.

'Quiet and far-reaching'

The writer is obviously a master with profound artistic conception and proficient in pen and ink. Li Xing's restless heart calmed down after only one glance, and he fully realized the true meaning of the words.

A long-lasting fragrance entered Li Xing's nose, and the smell made people feel refreshed and happy.

Li Xing seemed to have smelled this smell before, and it was at Lan's house.

The incense wood that Ms. Lan burns when she is entertaining guests or sitting quietly drinking tea is said to be very valuable.

This is the smell that wafts through the entire empty building at this moment.

Li Xing looked at the huge half-person-high incense burner around him, which seemed to be made of bronze and affixed with gold leaf.

Apparently the fragrance came from it. Li Xing took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a large piece of incense wood burning in it. Judging from the incense ash accumulated in the incense burner, the fragrance should be non-stop day and night...

"Hey, did the suzerain also go out?"

Gong Yi's focus is obviously not on these daily things, he looked at the futon in the east, then frowned and thought.

"Even if it's Mingjing Zong's turn to patrol the streets, the old suzerain never participates! Could it be that he went somewhere to be lazy?"

Gong Yi muttered to himself, then turned to look at Li Xing, spreading his hands.

"Look, all senior brothers and sisters have gone to work in the street, and even the master is not here."

"Shouldn't be back for a while..."

Looking at the sun outside the house, Gong Yi shook his head.

"Unless some senior brother or sister is lazy, I have to wait!"

"Why don't I take you to drink a bowl of tea!" Gong Yi extended an invitation to Li Xing, and Li Xing naturally would not refuse.

"Then trouble brother!"

Gong Yi led Li Xing out of the classroom, which was so spacious that it could accommodate hundreds of people without looking tense, and walked towards the next courtyard on the side of the training ground.

Along the way, the entire interior of the sect looked spotless, without any stains from fallen leaves, obviously someone often took care of it.

It wasn't until he sat down in the tea room that Li Xing realized that the tea room was elegant and simple, without the slightest sense of mediocrity. The bamboo shadows and pink walls, the moon half wall, and the shadows of lamps and curtains were all suitable.

Mahogany tea table, white porcelain teapot, coarse porcelain tea bowl, the whole room exudes a faint fragrance.

The four walls of the house are painted with paintings of various landscapes, flowers and birds, which can be seen as the handwriting of famous artists.

The overall environment makes people feel peaceful and relaxed.

At this point, Li Xing finally got rid of the little Jingjing sect shock before.

Gong Yi naturally sat at the main seat and began to cook tea soup.

While crushing the tea cakes, he asked Li Xing, "I don't know how the junior brother tastes?"

"Salt, sugar, mint, or orange peel? Or some of both?"

Li Xing shook his head resolutely when he heard the words, feeling a little pale after hearing this.

He had also drank this kind of tea soup before, but the tea soup cooked under the elegant tea ceremony did not meet his taste.

Li Xing still likes to make tea with white water that ordinary people use to quench their thirst.

But Li Xing was embarrassed to say this, and he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed amidst such elegance around him.

When Gong Yi saw Li Xing shaking his head, he paused for a moment, and said with a look of sudden realization after a while.

"Yes, how can I entertain you with such inferior things?"

"Excuse me for being rude!"

As Gong Yi said so, he stood up at the same time, walked to the wooden shelf beside him, rummaged for a while, and then carefully took out a piece of tea cake.

This tea cake looks good at first glance, because the gold leaf wrapped around it shimmers.

"Junior Brother, you don't know something, this tea cake is a good thing! It's an offering from Nan'er City!"

"Plucked from a thousand-year-old tree, it is claimed that it only produces five kilograms a year!"

"Because the eldest sister likes tea, the suzerain had the cheek to ask for a catty last time."

"But the elder sister has a good heart! We used it secretly last time."

"Tsk tsk!"

A reminiscence expression also appeared on Gong Yi's face.

"If it's used to entertain you, Eldest Sister can't say anything!"

"Thanks to you!"

Such a good tea should not be added with other sundries to mess up its color. It only needs to be brewed slowly in boiling water, and its aroma will be evident by itself.

Gong Yi's movements are smooth. Although there are no complicated rituals, there is a beauty of harmony between man and nature in every move.

Watching its movements is also a kind of enjoyment.

Not long after, a bowl of shiny pure-color tea soup, no need to drink, just smell the smell, the delicate fragrance will penetrate into the nostrils, which will make people feel refreshed.

Gong Yi said with a little shame.

"Only senior sister is good at the tea ceremony. I also learned this little trick secretly. I made my junior laugh!"

Holding this bowl of tea soup, Li Xing only had one question in his mind.

How much is this bowl of tea soup worth?
