Chapter 1345 Tasting Tea
After listening to the story narrated by the other party, Soshiyang was silent for a long time. He knew what this story was a metaphor for.
Finally, he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Where is that man?"
"He has been regretting it."
"Regret."
"Regret your failures and think about where you went wrong in being yourself."
"Does He make mistakes too?"
"Everyone does. He doesn’t think he will, and he even thinks he won’t, but in fact this is not his first mistake.”
As he spoke, the Bewitcher looked at the stopped bronze clock.
"It was at this place that He made his first mistake. If he had realized it at that time, perhaps there would have been no subsequent failures."
Soshiyang also looked at the clock, although the glass was broken. The slender hands decorated with gold and mother-of-pearl have no scratches at all. The internal mechanical structure can be seen through the small glass window at the bottom of the clock, but at this time the gears no longer rotate and the pendulum no longer swings.
No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary bronze bell.
"You are tired from standing, are you interested in having a cup of tea with me now?"
Soshiyang then nodded slightly.
Although the man's words were a little confusing, it was hard to dislike him, and Soshyan wanted to know more from him.
The Beguiler then took Soshyan to the rooms at the back of the hall.
This is a simple room. Two chairs are placed on both sides of a mahogany table carved with intertwined pythons. There is a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, with several words like this written in black ink. Symbols for words, but he didn't recognize the symbols, and they looked like they were written with a very large brush.
So he pointed at the calligraphy and painting and asked.
“What did you write?”
"An ancient Terran script, meaning the heart is as still as water."
"You wrote it?"
"No, a good friend of mine."
Dang Suo When Shi Yang sat on the chair, it suddenly creaked under the weight, and the confused man raised his fingers, and a shiny white porcelain teapot and a pair of white porcelain cups flew out from under the table.
The confused man squeezed his right hand out of thin air, and Soshiyang saw a small cluster of dry plant stems appear in his hand. Then the lid of the pot was opened, and the other party sprinkled the dry leaf stems into the pot. , then stretched out his finger and tapped it gently, and a cluster of blue flames suddenly rose from the bottom of the pot, and soon the spout of the pot spewed hot steam.
During this process, Soshyan did not see that the other party had added water.
"Don't you need water?"
"It was added beforehand, while you and I were talking."
After a minute, the flame went out, and the Bewitcher Filling the white porcelain cup, a light and strange fragrance accompanied by heat instantly filled the surrounding air, and then the bewitcher sat back in his chair.
"You are the second person to drink with me, and I am very happy today."
The confused man laughed brightly, then raised his cup.
Soshiyan also raised his glass in response, but he was more curious about whether this person would take off his mask when drinking tea.
The result disappointed him. The confused man raised his glass and raised his head. The liquid in the glass actually penetrated into the mask.
Soshyan picked up the cup. This thing seemed too delicate in his hands, so he had to be very careful.
Blowing into the cup, Soshiyang took a sip, but unexpectedly found that the seemingly scalding tea was only lukewarm, and when it entered his throat, it was really bitter and unbearable. It was the first time he had ever drank it in his life Worst thing ever.
"Hmm"
Although it tasted very bad, Soshyan didn't show it and just drank the rest.
"You have never drank tea like this, right."
The beguiler slowly put down the cup, and Soshyan also put the cup on the table, and the other party then poured the cup again Full.
“I am a warrior and I have no intention of doing such idle things that waste energy and time.”
"Ha, when I was drinking tea, I thought it was a waste of time. In order to save a woman who is supposed to be an enemy, I can run for several days, even without regard for life and death. Is this the style of a warrior?"
Soshiyang was silent, I just picked up the tea cup and took another sip. This time it was still bitter and even a little more spicy. Later, he explained:
“Everyone has a ruler in his heart to measure the people and things he comes into contact with, that’s all.”
“In this case, I don’t know what to say, what do you think of the taste of this tea?”
"With all due respect, I can't appreciate it, and its taste seems to be changing all the time."
At this time, the confused person suddenly touched his hands and smiled.
“Ha, your reaction was the same as his.”
“Who?”
“The first person to drink tea with me.”
"It has something to do with me?"
"No."
"This——"
"A kind of person, a kind of tea, a kind of taste, what you drink is not the same." It’s not the tea, but yourself. Because there is always pain and doubt hidden in your heart, what you drink is also painful doubt, and then your confusion. Although you are determined, you still don’t know everything that may happen in the future. At a loss, you don’t even know how to face those who trust you and respect you.”
Soshiyang was speechless and could only sit quietly in his chair.
"Do you want to know the story about Xerxes?"
The other party's words made Soshyan raise his head slightly. His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he shook his head.
“I don’t want to.”
This is Soshyan’s true words. In fact, even with Elena as a living witness, Soshyan rarely takes the initiative to inquire about the past. In the past, it seemed that he himself was not aware of what he was resisting.
After speaking, he paused and asked sincerely.
"Confused, is this a normal person's reaction?"
"No."
"Then should I understand the past of the original body and understand the truth of that year."
"Two things, first, I can't give you any truth, and second, what is the truth you are referring to."
"This——"
Soshyan sorted out the thoughts in his mind and suddenly decided to put this moment aside for the time being. He still had a very important question that he didn't understand.
"Puzzle, are you Brother Said?"
Puzzle put down the tea cup and said softly:
"Yes, and no."
< br>“I don’t understand.”
"Not yet."
As he said that, he stretched out his palm, and suddenly a golden light flashed, and a golden mask appeared in his palm, exactly the same as the one on his face.
Looking at this mask, Soshiyang was shocked. This was the one left by Said, because he remembered that this mask had a small inverted triangle symbol on its forehead, which was the face of the Bewitcher. What the mask above doesn’t have.
Then under Soshiyang's gaze, the Bewitcher put the mask on his face.
For a moment, Suoshiyang seemed to feel that the opponent's body suddenly blurred, and many afterimages separated, and then overlapped at the next moment.
"Now, I am."
"This"
Soshiyang opened his mouth slightly, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and finally he spit out a few words.
"I remember putting that thing away."
"As long as I see you, it will come back to my hands. Maybe someone has reminded you."
Soshyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that Kayon had indeed said that to him, but he immediately realized that something was wrong.
