Chapter 865 Chapter Ninety-six Visit to the Chen Family Niu Chewing Peony
Chen Family Villa, Yutong Hall.
The front hall of this place has a broad view. The east and west sides are planted with plumage sycamores, and the low shrubs are dotted with red fruits. Two or three meandering streams flow down from the back mountain. The stream is not deep, and occasionally There are silver fish leaping up, and since it is a place for entertaining guests, most of the people walking around are boys in gray and blue clothes. They are all in their thirteenth or fourteenth year old, with beautiful features, red lips and white teeth.
In the world of cultivation, people rarely judge people by their appearance, but people’s pursuit of beauty has never stopped. Family members are related by blood, and the children in the family are often arrogant. There are many people who are greedy for pleasure, but the clan does not This is a big deal. After all, for Taoists, cultivation strength is the most important thing. As long as external enjoyment does not affect one's own cultivation, it doesn't matter.
So what Zhao Chun saw and heard along the way was very different from that of his sect. If the Yukang Chen family was said to be in bloom, then even Kuimen Dongtian would deserve to be left alone. I heard that the Yukang Chen family was not the most powerful in the Zhaoyan family. Now the leader in the family is the Changwu Wang family. You can imagine how prosperous the latter family is.
She and Shi Xiangyuan took their seats one after another, but within a moment, a young man in blue came over with a whisk, and two boys in gray and blue followed him, with respectful expressions and no sideways glances.
After the two boys served the spiritual tea, the young man in blue flicked the fly whisk, grinned and said: "Just now I heard that the elders are here, and the younger ones are not far away to greet them."
Zhao Shun lowered his eyebrows and saw that this young man's cultivation level was not low. He was probably in the late stage of integration, but he had not yet established his Tao seed. He must be a descendant of the Chen clan.
At this moment, the young man in blue also looked over, bowed his hands in a polite salute, and said: "Master Xihe is polite."
Zhao Shun nodded to him, and then Then I saw Shi Xiangyuan stroking his green beard under his chin and said to the young man: "So it's Liansheng. Did you come here with Shaohong today?"
He did not forget to introduce to Zhao Shun: "His name is Chen Liansheng. He is a direct disciple of the Chen family. Now he practices Taoism with Chen Shaohong, the elder of Hongqing Hall." Practicing Taoism next to him, his status is equivalent to that of a disciple in the master's sect. Zhao Chun's expression became serious, but he was not thinking of Chen Liansheng, but thought of Chen Shaohong, the elder of Hongqing Hall mentioned by Shi Xiangyuan. This person is the current first elder of Hongqing Hall. If nothing goes wrong, after he achieves Dongxu, he will take over the position of the head of Hongqing Hall from Wang Feng, the powerful Dongxu of the Changwu Wang Clan.
When the first one breaks through, the current palace master will step down. This is the rule of the sect.
The appointment of the first elder requires a nod from the direct lineage, which means that when the first elder is set, most of the monks who were the masters of the temple at the time also have the idea of abdicating.
But today’s Hongqing Palace is different. The previous palace master Han Xuzheng became an immortal and passed away thousands of years ago. The first elder who was supposed to take over as the palace master died in the catastrophe of Jienan Tianhai. After several conspiracies, several great cultivation families joined forces to support Wang Feng in power. Not long after Wang Feng took over, he appointed an elder from the Chen clan as the head of the throne.
For nearly ten thousand years, Hongqing Hall has replaced its first three elders, all of whom are members of the Yukang Chen clan.
The ideas of these major families were gradually revealed. Because the Changwu Wang family was the most powerful among them, Wang Feng was the first to sit on the throne of the palace. After that, he had to put a person from the Chen family as the leader. In the future, when a person from the Chen family came to the throne, the leader should The elders of the other aristocratic families repeat this cycle, causing the position of the master of the Hongqing Hall to continue to be handed over to several major aristocratic families.
Just like the position of the master of Jiudu Hall has always been firmly controlled by the head of the family.
However, it is not easy to break through Dongxu. The two leaders in front of Chen Shaohong saw that there was no hope of breakthrough and chose to abdicate in favor of talents. Whether he can achieve Dongxu and Wang Feng abdicate is still unknown. But according to Shi Xiangyuan, Chen Shaohong is the monk of the Yukang Chen family who is most likely to achieve Dongxu. If he fails, there will be few remaining disciples who can compare with Chen Shaohong.
It can be regarded as carrying the hope of the clan.
Zhao Chun looked at Chen Liansheng, who looked young and young, with a somewhat high-spirited demeanor. When he heard Shi Xiangyuan mentioning Chen Shaohong, he showed a slight expression of humility and said: "That's not the case. It's because our ancestors are like this. After going out, I called the elders to accompany me, and the junior came to the other house to wait."
Shi Xiangyuan was slightly surprised, his expression remained unchanged, he nodded slowly, said "I see", and looked sideways at Zhao Shun. , raised his hand and pointed to the teacup and said: "This is your first time to visit. I'm afraid you don't know yet. The Chen family has a kind of tea that has never been exported to the outside world. Its name is called Spring in the Mist. It is famous for its bright soup and clear color. It is only used to entertain distinguished guests. , you might as well try it.”
Zhao Shun then picked up the tea and saw that the clear tea soup was lightly lingering with mist, like the clouds in the mountains in the morning, and the fragrance of the tea was light and long, and could not be smelled by anyone. It wrapped around the tip of her nose like a strand, and she took a sip. The taste was very light, but a spiritual power poured down her throat, gradually soothing her whole body and making her whole body feel comfortable. After that, she felt clear and clear, and her meridians were open. The speed of running the true energy should also be a few minutes faster.
At the realm of true infants, spiritual tea that can still have such effects does not need to be guessed to know that it is of a high grade and must be classified as a spiritual medicine.
And from what Shi Xiangyuan said, the Chen clan would not entertain ordinary visitors with this. The reason why Zhao Chun could get one must be due to her recent deeds, in addition to the great power of Hai Qing behind her.
Sure enough, after hearing Shi Xiangyuan's praise of Spring in the Mist, Chen Liansheng's face suddenly showed a hint of pride, but he did not dare to neglect Zhao Shun at all. He immediately straightened his expression and said with a smile: "Xi Master He is the number one swordsman among his disciples of this generation. I, the Yukang Chen family, have always treated geniuses with respect, so naturally I will treat them with some good spiritual tea. If the Master likes it, I can also take ten kilograms of it with me when I leave. Let's go."
Zhao Chun said "Thank you very much", but then he saw a tall and burly figure striding in. He laughed loudly and said, "Xiang Yuan, it's you."
Looking at his purple clothes, gold crown and black boots, he is the witch dragon who followed Zhao Chun back from Jiu Wangling.
Zhao Chun smiled, raised his eyes, and took in the expression on Chen Liansheng's face. He frowned slightly and pursed his lips. Even if Wu Jiao walked into the hall, he did not look at him. Instead, when Shi Xiangyuan nodded to greet him, he slightly bent down and said: "Junior has something important to do, so I'll go ahead." ”
After saying that, Chen Liansheng took a few steps back, turned around and left. Only then did Wu Jiao notice him. He looked back with a rather unnatural expression, and even his joy faded a lot.
Shi Xiangyuan called him to sit down, but Wu Jiao's eyes lit up, and he strode forward and picked up the tea cup on the table: "Spring in the mist, oh, what a good thing, it has to be Xiang Yuan Now that I have retired, I couldn’t drink such good tea before. I should be allowed to enjoy the blessings!”
He picked up the spiritual tea and drank it all, and Shi Xiangyuan could only sigh. , accusing him of "cow chewing peonies".
Some time ago, I took a break and had a low fever yesterday. I don’t know if it was Yang.
Working is really painful
