Chapter 14 Tea?
There are ten countries in Nanzhou, and Tianyun is one of them.
On the vast land, a winding Pantian Ridge divides Nanzhou into two areas, Lingnan and Lingbei.
There is a seven-nation alliance in Lingnan, while the three-nation alliance in Lingbei is a three-nation alliance. The boundless grassland surrounded by Pantianling is named Tianling Grassland.
The Tianyun Kingdom where Qianyun Sect is located is located in Lingnan near Pantianling.
"The seven kingdoms in Lingnan are Tianyun Kingdom, Longyan Kingdom, Wanxiang Kingdom, Dry Ice Kingdom, Baifeng Kingdom, Tianlang Kingdom, and Xishan Kingdom. Each country has a huge sect of cultivation. The so-called seven-nation alliance is actually the alliance of the seven major sects."
On the wooden cart pulled by the Cirrus Cloud Rat, Wang Wuming talked endlessly.
As the wooden carts drove, the trees in the mountains became more and more sparse, and the rivers outside the mountains and towns gradually appeared.
"Is the Seven-Nation Alliance in Lingnan to guard against the three sects in Lingbei?" Chang Sheng asked, which was the first time he learned about these situations.
"The three major sects in Lingbei are indeed powerful, but the three sects in Lingbei have been in a three-legged state for many years. They check and balance each other, which is not a threat to our Lingnan."
Wang Wuming's expression changed and he said, "The alliance of the seven major sects is actually to guard against grassland monks."
"Prairie monks? There are also cultivators in the Tianling Grassland?" Chang Sheng became more and more curious.
"There is not only a cultivation sect in the grassland, but also a giant, called the Tianling Temple."
Wang Wuming became afraid and said, "The grassland monks are brave and cruel, and their means are cruel. Their living environment is extremely harsh. They are born to compete with wild beasts and even monsters, so they are full of ruthlessness. They will fight if they disagree, which is extremely dangerous."
"Tianling Temple, grassland monks..." Chang Sheng wrote down the source of this danger and made up his mind to stay away from areas like grasslands in the future.
"It's almost here, that mountain is our destination."
Wang Wuming pointed to a mountain in the distance and said, "The mountain is called Tea Mountain. There are many tea trees on the top of the mountain. The mountain is steep. You can occasionally find traces of red-eyed mink rats in the mountains. There is a small town called Linyin Town behind the mountain. We will stay for the time being."
"The red-eyed mink rat is a monster. Since there are monsters in Chashan, how can there be humans living there?" Chang Sheng was puzzled for a moment.
"Monster beasts are not the same as monsters. Some are cruel, ferocious, and some are timid and cowardly. For example, the red-eyed mink rats. This type of rat monster likes to eat corrupt corpses and lives in areas with a lot of rotten wood. As long as you don't disturb them, you won't hurt people."
When he learned that there were monsters that would not hurt people, Chang Sheng, who had planned to escape, changed his attention. Since the red-eyed mink rat was not very dangerous, it would be better to take this opportunity to follow this Senior Brother Wang to open his eyes.
Soon after, the wooden cart bypassed the Tea Mountain, and an ancient town appeared at the foot of the mountain.
When we arrived at the woods outside the town, Wang Wu, dispersed the Cirrus Cloud Rat and told him: "We cultivators have unwritten rules and should not affect the lives of ordinary people. After arriving in the mundane world, try not to show extraordinary things. This is called following the world and following the customs. Just like following the local customs, when we reach the mundane world, we must treat us as ordinary people."
It turns out that there is also the saying of following the world and following the customs, and Changsheng nodded secretly.
When he walked into the town, Chang Sheng was immediately attracted by the quaint atmosphere of the town.
People in the town wore quaint long gowns and gowns. Most of the houses were old and the buildings were ancient. The peddlers and barracks and scholars were very lively.
Although the town was lively, Chang Sheng's brows frowned unconsciously.
Sure enough, the mountain was also a strange place to him.
Well, anyway, there is an orphan and homeless person. Since you have traveled through time, you can go with the flow...
Changsheng is not confused about where he comes from or where he goes. For him, there is nothing big in the world except when he is hungry.
"Two guests! Please, Yahou!"
At the entrance of the lively restaurant, the waiter smiled and invited Wang Wuming and Chang Sheng who were walking to the second floor to the elegant seat.
After throwing out a piece of silver leaf, Wang Wuming was full of momentum. He ordered all the restaurant's signature dishes and ordered two jars of high-quality wine.
But for cultivators, money in the mundane world is not valuable. If you have to order food and pay the Lingjing, it is estimated that Wang Wuming will be in pain.
When I opened the window, the autumn wind blew towards me was refreshing.
You can see half a town here. Chang Sheng found that almost every home in Linyin Town had an ancient tree planted in the yard, and there were even trees on the street, and the town was shaded everywhere.
It turns out that the name of Linyin Town is so cool. At first glance, I feel refreshed and happy.
"Uncle, are you tasting tea?"
Watching the scenery at the window, suddenly a crisp childish voice came. Chang Sheng turned his head to look at a young boy of seven or eight years old standing outside the window with a cup of steaming hot tea.
The elegant seat is on the second floor, not the first floor!
Unexpectedly, someone was delivering tea outside the window. When Chang Sheng looked over, he found that the little boy was climbing a ladder.
The bamboo ladder is very worn, and there is a girl in her teenager who is holding the ladder, looking around as if looking at the wind.
"Uncle, are you tasting tea? The best tea before the rain!"
The little boy asked again, his tone was a little quick, his eyes lingering on the delicious table, and he swallowed from time to time.
"good."
I often don’t understand why, and I thought this tea was a gift from a restaurant, so I took it and put it on the table.
"It's only two cents, thank you uncle." The little boy stretched out his dirty little hand and smiled shyly.
It turned out to be money, not a gift.
"Some poor people in Linshan Town will take the risk of picking tea on the steep mountaintop to supplement their household expenses." Wang Wuming explained on the side, and Chang Sheng suddenly realized.
"Senior Brother Wang still has silver?" Chang Sheng asked awkwardly. He had no silver on him.
Wang Wuming smiled and gave Chang Sheng a few silver leaves. For cultivators, things like silver can only be regarded as the lowest-level refining material.
"I picked it myself?" After thanking Wang Wuming, Chang Sheng handed a silver leaf to the little boy.
"I picked it with my sister! A cup of tea costs only two cents." The little boy was at a loss and did not dare to take the money.
That is silver leaf, not copper coins. A silver leaf weighs one or two, and one or two silver can be exchanged for a hanging copper coin, which is one thousand copper coins!
"Can you climb such a high mountain? Where is your parents?" Chang Sheng asked with a smile.
"Can you climb up! I know a small path, and these teas before the rain were picked by my sister and I personally!"
The little boy raised his neck and said proudly, then his eyes dimmed, saying, "My father is dead. He fell down the mountain stream when he was picking tea two years ago. My mother is sick..."
"Hold it, the tea is good, it's worth the price." Chang Sheng sipped the hot tea and slapped the silver leaves in the little boy's hand.
"Thank you uncle!" The little boy was ashamed to the point of finding a treasure and held Yin Yezi tightly in his hand.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and the serving guy saw someone outside the window at a glance.
"Baby! You dare to come and grab the business!" The guy rushed to the window.
The little boy slid down the bamboo ladder with a slight sound, and ran away like a loach.
"I dare to break your legs again!" The guy cursed outside the window, turned his face and still smiled, saying, "Two little beggars, the guest official ignores it, use it slowly, hehe, use it slowly."
Whether a beggar often doesn't care about it and life is not easy. Such a young child can help him casually and he will not turn a blind eye.
After the guy left, Chang Sheng was about to eat the delicious food of the Linyin Town when suddenly a scream came from the street. The little boy who was selling tea was being held in his hand by a big and thick man.
