Chapter 470: Tea Immortal Meeting, Yuan Chen Number

~16 min read 3,043 words

It's time to exchange treasures!

Sha Lifei's breathing became rapid.

The treasure exchange task was handed to him.

The reason was also simple: the others were all sorcerers, only he was an ordinary person, and his human smell was covered, making him the least likely to be discovered.

Now it could be confirmed that the heavenly spiritual and earthly precious item here was the tea leaves on the "Tea Immortal".

This kind of thing couldn't be snatched hard.

Heavenly spiritual and earthly precious items all had bad tempers. Once startled, they would immediately scatter their spiritual rhyme, their lethality was amazing, and they would also ruin the treasure.

Spiritual tea is a treasure.

Especially this kind of top grade, the price is even higher. When Mount Qingcheng opens the cellar, it will definitely be scrambled for.

Lu San on the side pulled Sha Lifei's clothes, handed over a bundle, and signaled him to go quickly, don't miss the opportunity.

Sha Lifei was also afraid in his heart, but he was no longer a fledgling. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked forward carrying the bundle.

Swish!

After stepping into the pond water, Sha Lifei instantly felt a shiver.

Just now when drinking water, there was no feeling, but after entering the pond, there was a cold Yin Qi rising from the soles of his feet.

Sha Lifei vaguely knew that this was the Yin Qi of the earth.

He gritted his teeth and persisted, trying his best not to reveal any strangeness, and slowly arrived in front of the central stone platform, taking things out of the bundle.

Sha Lifei first took out half a brick.

The brick was blue-grey, only a small half, cold to the touch, and carved with talismans, filled with blood-red cinnabar inside.

This is a typical Qin brick, because it was placed in a grave Yin Sha place all year round and refined, becoming an object of suppression.

This thing could be considered a trophy.

Along the way, they solved many things. Except for those powerful Dharma artifacts, they got a large pile of these things.

Originally intended to be thrown to the Chongqing Chenghuangmiao, but at that time Dan Hezi was still a poor ghost, and there were no good things in the warehouse, so they had to be placed in the luggage.

If it could be exchanged for spiritual tea, it couldn't be more appropriate.

Li Yan and the others didn't look down on these things at all, so Sha Lifei took out the first one to test the water.

But the shocking thing happened.

The "Tea Immortal" sat cross-legged on the stone, originally with eyes closed, and the things sent by other spirit charms were placed at will, without even looking at them.

But after this thing was taken out, it slowly opened its eyelids, revealing jade-like eyeballs, and then small tree branches spread out from under the wide robe, wrapping the suppression brick away.

Swish...

A large handful of tea leaves fell from the beard.

More than all the previous ones combined.

Treasure-seeker Yu Laohan instantly widened his eyes.

He clenched his fist, full of regret.

Originally, he thought about equal exchange, just about right, but forgot that "things are precious because they are rare".

These inconspicuous things were Dharma artifacts after all, and were very precious to spirit charms.

After all, it wasn't anyone who could go deep into this bizarre world and trade with spirit charms.

If he had known earlier, he should have exhorted two more sentences...

But clearly, he underestimated Sha Lifei's shrewdness.

Seeing so many spiritual teas fall, Sha Lifei instantly smiled like a flower, and hurried to follow Yu Laohan's instructions, taking out a bamboo tube from his waist.

These spiritual teas hadn't been stir-fried yet and couldn't be stained with human Qi, so they had to be clamped with bamboo slices, stuffed into the bamboo tube, and sealed with red cloth.

In a short time, two buckets were already full.

Sha Lifei rolled his eyes and took out a Dharma decree made of lightning-struck wood, rectangular, solid and heavy.

This was searched from the sorcerer of the Sanfa Sect when they were at the Zhou family in Chongqing Prefecture, and it also belonged to a chicken rib.

The quality of lightning-struck wood also had high and low.

One is to look at the wood quality, and the other is to look at the number of lightning strikes.

Only after lightning strikes and regains vitality can it enter the grade. How many times it is struck by lightning and how many times vitality is born is called how many grades.

This lightning-struck wood decree only suffered one lightning strike, and the vitality was cut off, not even enough to enter the grade.

And that Sanfa Sect sorcerer didn't know thunder techniques, so he could only turn this thing into an object for casting Yin curses, which was even more of a chicken rib.

This thing, even if thrown to the Chenghuangmiao, they wouldn't accept it.

However, when the "Tea Immortal" felt it, it was even more excited, using root whiskers to roll it away again, and then a large amount of spiritual tea fell.

Not only that, Sha Lifei could also feel a tea fragrance spreading from the pond, and the pain of the bee venom on his body actually eased significantly, and he could already endure it.

A good person...

Seeing this, Sha Lifei became even bolder, seven hands and eight feet collecting the tea leaves, and took out an Eight Trigrams Mirror from the bundle.

And this time, the "Tea Immortal's" movement was even greater.

The tea leaves on its beard had all fallen off, so it shook its body, the robe shattered, and turned into pieces of tea leaves falling.

Seeing this, Sha Lifei was even happier in his heart, secretly saying: Today is a great luck, I must strip you naked...

Immediately after, there were two more exchanges.

The robes on the "Tea Immortal" had already completely shattered, revealing a body formed from twisted, gnarled old tree roots.

And looking at Sha Lifei's bundle, the "Tea Immortal's" originally emerald pupils also inexplicably raised a trace of blood color.

Not good!

Yu Laohan saw this and secretly thought it was not good in his heart.

But faster than him was Lu San, who jumped out directly, jumped into the water, jumped to Sha Lifei's side, pressed his hand, and shook his head with a solemn expression.

Although Sha Lifei didn't know why, he didn't take anything out anymore.

And that "Tea Immortal" still sat cross-legged on the mountain stone, motionless, just staring at them fixedly.

Lu San pulled Sha Lifei, carefully exited the pond, gave a wink to the Yu father and son who were already prepared, and turned to leave.

Whoosh~

A strong wind suddenly blew behind him, and the thick fog surged.

The scene he just saw began to collapse and disappear rapidly.

"Run!"

Lu San gave a low shout, then took out a peach wood branch, recited the incantation, and swept it across everyone's eyes.

In an instant, the "ghost covering eyes" illusion was broken.

Where was there any forest mountain road around? It was a dense and gloomy bamboo forest, the wind whistled, fallen leaves flew, revealing various animal skeletons below, full of decay and gloomy Qi.

Sha Lifei couldn't help but look back.

But seeing in the mountain hollow behind, the waterfall poured down, forming a pool of water. On the giant stone in the middle, a huge tea tree grew, with lush root whiskers, spreading from the giant stone and occupying the entire pond.

And that tea tree was already bare, and the Dharma artifacts he gave were embedded in the root whiskers...

"Don't look!"

Yu Laohan hurried to pull Sha Lifei's clothes.

In the strong wind and fallen leaves, several people accelerated their pace and climbed out of a mountain valley.

The thick fog behind became heavier and heavier, covering the road they came from.

When they climbed up the mountain ridge, the strange phenomena around finally disappeared, the night wind caressed, the moonlight was like frost, and everything was quiet.

Looking back at the road, the jungle was dense, the fog was swirling, and it looked lush, and no mountain valley could be seen at all.

"What happened just now?"

Sha Lifei was puzzled, "Could it be that that thing also saw wealth and had evil intentions?"

"It's another matter!"

Yu Laohan shook his head, "Everything has a degree. We got these spiritual teas, which is already an opportunity. If we are not satisfied, it is a disaster." "These spiritual teas are also the foundation of the Tea Immortal. If the roots are broken, its righteousness will be insufficient, and it will inevitably degenerate into an evil thing, and it will also give birth to greed. By then, it will be troublesome for us to leave."

"Maybe, by then, this thing will also lure passersby on the mountain, suck their essence and blood, and all become our cause and effect."

"Oh, so that's how it is..."

Sha Lifei touched the bamboo tubes hanging from his waist, full of smiles, "The harvest today is not small. Let's keep this thing with its roots, and when it grows leaves again, we will come to harvest."

"Long-term flow is the right way."

"I'm afraid there's no chance..."

Yu Laohan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This kind of spiritual tea, wanting to grow out again, I don't know how many years it will take. At least our generation has no chance."

"Everyone, rest assured, the old man will not talk nonsense about this matter. You can record this place and leave it for future generations to take."

Sha Lifei rolled his eyes and patted Yu Laohan on the shoulder, "Old Brother Yu, isn't this being distant? I'll give this secret to you, which is not in vain for this friendship along the way."

He saw it clearly. After the matter was settled, he didn't know when he would come back to Shu, and it was hard to say in the future, so it was better to give a favor.

!.

After all, people are local snakes and have enough time to wait.

"Good, then the old man will take some advantage!"

Yu Laohan was also straightforward and agreed immediately, and also said, "The harvest of these days, the old man will not take a cent. If you have any errands in the future, just call."

Sha Lifei and the others had no time to wait, but this secret could become the foundation of the Yu family and benefit several generations.

In this way, both sides were very satisfied.

After talking about this matter, Yu Laohan looked at Sha Lifei more pleasingly, stroked his beard and smiled, "These spiritual teas cannot be kept for long. The old man happens to know the art of tea stir-frying, so let's find a place to stir-fry."

"But it takes some time, at least forty-nine days."

"That is also fine."

Sha Lifei looked to the west, his expression also becoming solemn, "We still have to go to the Dazu Rock Carvings to find some things..."

…………

Crossing Longquan Mountain, under his feet is Longquan Post.

Post stations have big and small.

Small ones are just on the official road, with earth walls and thatched roofs, not even comparable to a small rural temple.

And big ones like Jiming Post and Yucheng City are cities, and even have troops stationed all year round.

As one of the most important post stations in Shu, Longquan Post was slightly smaller than Jinguan Post outside Chengdu City, and about the same as a small town.

Walking forward from Longquan Post, passing through villages like Jiepai Shop and Damei Shop, you can reach Jinguan Post, and walking forward through Yinghui Gate, it is Chengdu Prefecture.

In Jinguan Post, there are garrison troops stationed, the inspection is very strict, and there are many eyes and ears of various forces in Chengdu City.

With a slight disturbance, they can know.

And Longquan Post is relatively much looser.

There are many inns set up nearby, occupying the name of a post station, but in private, as long as you give money, you can stay.

Since the imperial court issued an order to raise the status of merchants, the post station has been completely opened, so people from all walks of life gather, and a small market has been formed.

Night fell, and the teahouses and taverns were still brightly lit, with constant drinking and ordering, and the wanton laughter of wine entertainers came from time to time.

Swish!

The falcon flapped its wings and drilled into the window on the second floor of the inn.

Li Yan took down the bamboo tube and checked the intelligence in front of the candle.

"Tea Immortal?"

Seeing Sha Lifei and the others' encounter, Li Yan was also somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful heavenly spiritual and earthly precious item in the world.

It is rumored that between the White Mountains and Black Waters, those old ginseng that have taken shape will also give birth to spiritual wisdom, and even use ginseng whiskers as a reward to ask various wild immortals in the mountain to protect, confuse, and kill ginseng pickers.

But sometimes, there will also be ginseng pickers who stray into the market in the forest, use the treasures on their bodies to exchange for things, and obtain hundred-year-old ginseng.

Also like a big dream, they usually wake up in the wild graves.

They call it "Ginseng Cellar".

This "Tea Immortal Meeting" is very similar to it.

No matter what, it can be considered a good thing.

He also agreed with Sha Lifei's approach.

They drift in the Jianghu and make their home everywhere. These secrets are useless, so it is better to give them away to make friends.

These Yu father and son are quite good.

Ability is secondary, the key is to keep the rules.

At present, the Yu father and son have found an abandoned Mountain Chenghuangmiao, fully preparing, collecting materials to stir-fry tea.

Forty-nine days will not miss the opening of the cellar on Mount Qingcheng.

And Lu San and Sha Lifei have come to the vicinity of the Dazu Rock Carvings, one to find the Bai family's secret treasure, and the other to find the legendary "Corpse Tuo Forest" to prepare for Sha Lifei's awakening ritual.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, took up the pen to write a letter, asking them to find the place, don't act rashly, and wait for him to arrive before dealing with it.

In the "Corpse Tuo Forest", it is very likely related to the Great Luo Dharma Realm. With him there, even if something happens, there is room for maneuver.

As for Wang Daoxuan, he has already gone to Nanchong.

According to his intelligence, he heard from merchants on the boat that there has been news of zombies appearing frequently in the last two years.

The activity of zombies here seems to be more frequent than in other places.

Someone was holding a funeral, and the deceased old man suddenly stood up and pounced on people, but fortunately it was only the lowest-level walking corpse, and ordinary people could deal with it...

There were merchants sleeping in the wild temple, and things attacked in the middle of the night. The next day, they were discovered by others, their necks were all bitten off, and their blood was sucked dry...

These things appeared one after another.

Mount Qingcheng sent people to deal with it, but they could never find the reason.

Over time, a large number of demon catchers gathered here.

And Wang Daoxuan simply showed the name "Mobile Corps Commander", helping people catch corpses, and exploring the mysterious Bai Long Sect from the periphery...

Reputation is indeed useful.

Doing some things is also convenient. The people of the Shu Prince's Mansion only know the big name of Li Yan. If they replace it with a reputation, they can also cover people's eyes and ears.

Thinking of this, Li Yan flipped his left hand, and the Dust-Breaking Knife flew out from his waist. Looking at the Twelve Yuan Chen coins on the hilt, he was lost in thought and took up the pen to write a secret letter.

From then on, everyone else uses Twelve Yuan Chen as their number. Unless it is a close person, they will not reveal their real names to the outside.

Wang Daoxuan calls himself "Mobile Corps Commander", which is quite appropriate.

The rooster has "Five Virtues".

Wearing a crown on the head is culture; fighting with feet is martial; daring to fight when seeing the enemy is courage; calling each other when seeing food is righteousness; guarding the night without missing the time is faith.

It just happens to match Wang Daoxuan's nature.

Sha Lifei left home when he was young and drifted in the Jianghu, so he used "Wu Ma" as his number. Wu is prosperous in Yang, which also matches his nature of loving firearms.

As for Lu San...

Li Yan inexplicably thought of Wu Family Ditch, thought of the old dog that refused to leave home and died of starvation as told by Wang Daoxuan.

Lu San, then uses "Xu Dog" as his number.

As for himself, the name "Li Yan" was already famous and noticed by all parties, so he simply showed it generously to cover for other companions.

After writing the letter, Li Yan stuffed it into the bamboo tube, watched the falcon Lidong fly into the night sky, and then stood up, preparing to find the old woman Bai Huan.

They stayed here, naturally for a reason.

The Bai family had already sent news that the force they wanted to rely on would send people to meet them. As long as both sides met and talked, his task would be considered completed.

But just at this moment, Li Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at the roof.

Crack!

The sound of tiles breaking rang out on the roof...
