Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 32 Salt in the North is expensive
  Under the night, there are strong men forging iron flowers.

"Snapped--"

A tree of iron flowers is like broken fire and flowing fireflies.

Against the backdrop of the colorful sky, in front of the pool in front of the City God's Temple, a gentleman in a fox fur pointed at the ice pool.

The Taoist priests who were watching were stunned on the spot, staring blankly at the scene in front of them.

Silent.

"Sir you"

The fat Taoist woke up from his trance, raised his hands, and was about to say something.

"Dole—"

That pool of living water broke through the ice, penetrated into a clear pool, and broke the tranquility here.

next moment--

"Crash-"

The water in the pool gushed out to the edge of the pool like white water. Still dozens of steps away, there was a trace of water vapor rushing towards the face.

In the cold sky and freezing ground, steaming mist soon spread here. It was cold and misty. The mist filled the two sycamore trees beside the pond, and icy edges fell down.

Lu Chenran picked up a stick of water from the pool with his hand and pushed it around in the wet wind.

Use a little water-repelling technique.

This winter, the ponds here will not freeze.

Then, he turned around and looked at the fat Taoist beside him, and smiled softly:
  "Xiayuan Festival is not only the birthday of Shui Guan, but also a day to inspect the good and evil in the world and listen to the sufferings of the world. Shui Guan will not care whether living water is used in water sacrifices, sincerity is enough."

"."

Everyone was also stunned.

The fat Taoist reacted the fastest. He quickly saluted Lu Chenran, lowered his head and said:
  "I would like to thank the expert for resolving the problem, but I don't know where the expert is. We and the Taoist temple can also entertain you."

Just when he raised his head again, the young gentleman had already gone away from the handsome young man beside him.

In the distance, only one sentence was left, dispersed in the vapor, until his back disappeared:

“Salt in the north is expensive, so it’s better not to waste it.”

All the Taoists looked at each other, but they didn't know what the young gentleman meant by his words.

At this moment, a Taoist suddenly pointed at the water in the pool and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief:
  "Look! Look at the pool!"

The coarse salt that the short Taoist had just poured into the pond now appeared densely like catkins from the pond, spreading on the edge of the pond, reflecting the snow, leaving the ground sparkling white.

The fat Taoist seemed to have thought of something, and quickly walked to the edge of the pool, leaned down, and grabbed a large handful of coarse salt.

His whole hand stopped.

Not to mention that coarse salt floats out of water, there is no trace of moisture in it.

The fat Taoist rubbed the salt grains with his fingers, opened his mouth wide, and poked his finger at the white ground beside the pool again, his expression even more stunned.

"The grains of salt are all dry."

"."

Maybe this person is a well-traveled gentleman?

But thinking back to the gentle movements of this man just now, and thinking back to his words when he left, "The water official doesn't care whether the water sacrifice uses living water, sincerity is enough-", the fat Taoist's heart skipped a beat. .

He quickly put the coarse salt in his hand into the bag and shouted:
  "gentlemen."

However, with the dense flow of people passing by, where can I still see the location of Mr. Fox Qiu just now?
  "Brother Lu will accumulate good fortune for himself."

Walking in the busy city, the young prince looked at Lu Chenran, his eyes flashed a little, and he joked.

“It’s just a matter of effort, I’ll help if I can, and I don’t ask for money.”

After a pause, Lu Chenran glanced at the young prince, curved his mouth slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Li, don't you think I'm showing off in front of others?"

The young prince smiled and said:
  "Brother Lu, talking about wealth is not the behavior of an expert. All experts regard money as dirt."

"How can I be called an expert? It is already very difficult for me to be a good person in this world with my head held high."

The young prince hesitated to speak, nodded, and then shook his head again, feeling a little subtle in his heart.

Looking back on this period of time, Brother Lu followed the caravan all the way through the smoke and water, whether it was forcing the mugwort out of Uncle Liu's body, comforting the snow tiger in front of the wooden cage, or fishing in the ice-free lake with willow branches, and interacting with mirages. The iron-faced general on the screen was drinking, but Brother Lu was all calm and relaxed, not seeking fame or wealth, and not having any utilitarian intentions. Perhaps only a person like Brother Lu is worthy of the four words "just looking for immortals".

There are some things that cannot be considered in detail. Thinking about it this way, what is the difference between Brother Lu and the immortals he said in the Taoist books?

Even if a human immortal travels in the world of mortals, I'm afraid it's nothing more than this.

The streets are noisy, but there are no fewer tourists because of the cold weather. The snow has already been trampled hard to the ground by countless shoes, and the sticky soles are full of mud.

Lu Chenran searched around. There was no Meituan these days, and he couldn't tell whether the teahouse tasted good or bad. The caravan didn't spend much time in Jiamu County, so it was obviously impossible to taste it door to door. .

However, this teahouse named "Babao", judging from the constant flow of customers coming in and out of the door, must have good taste.

Lu Chenran did not hesitate and walked in with the young prince.

The waiter in the teahouse was quite discerning. When he saw the two distinguished gentlemen entering the door, he welcomed them into the house with laughter and shouts:

"You two - please come in -"

"There are no private seats on the second and third floors. How about the window seat on the first floor? You can also enjoy the snow and the moon."

"What do you two want to drink? The signature of our shop is this eight-treasure tea."

"."

"Then let's have a taste."

The waiter turned around and shouted at the cook, singing:

"Eight Treasures Tea - two of you."

Then, he warmly greeted the next wave of guests who entered the restaurant.

The room was steaming hot, and the charcoal basin in the corner was burning brightly. The young prince took off his heavy snow shirt and put it aside. He leaned on his arms and looked at the things outside the window.

Lu Chenran raised his head and looked at the decoration of the restaurant. It was quite different from that in the north. It had a strong northwest style. Perhaps in order to integrate into the culture of the north, he also hired a teacher who looked like a teacher to leave a calligraphy treasure on the spot. A few pictures to hang on the wall later.

Looking at the handsome scholar, his temperament does not look like that of an ordinary person. There is a faint scent of sandalwood floating on the short desk, and everything is quiet and comfortable.

However, Lu Chenran was now fully aware and could clearly smell the sandalwood burning next to the scholar to cover up the faint smell on his body.

What does that smell like?

It's a kind of thing between demonic energy and fairy energy, which is very strange.

But Lu Chenran was convinced that the teacher was not a human being.

It's probably not a ghost, he has a shadow.

The teacher closed his eyes slightly and pondered, then he mentioned the moistened wolf hao and waved it slightly on the plum blossom ink corner placed on the low table. He slowly lost his mind. When his heart became clear and clear, he turned over his sleeves like Turning the waves, the pen and ink are completed in one go.

After writing, I put the pen in my hand on the pen holder, squinted my eyes and said silently:
  "In the first half of October and half of winter in Lianglu, I lead the three officials of Tuanzi Zhai."

"The winds in heaven, earth, and water are harmonious, eliminating disasters and bringing happiness to the people."

"Very good--"

At this moment, the teacher slowly opened his eyes and seemed to feel something.

He raised his head and looked at the seat of Mr. Fox Qiu, who was sitting by the window not far away.

I was slightly startled in my heart, and my white eyes were slightly startled:
  ‘Does Mr. Foxqiu smell of that moth on his body? ’
