Chapter 1348 This old Taoist is so mean!
The weather was fine, but the day was unusual.
The old Taoist priest was wearing a snow-white robe today. He was not accompanied by his three disciples. He came to the place for the martial arts competition alone.
After several days, the venue for the competition expanded significantly. The main reason was that neither the Ministry of Works nor Jingzhao Prefecture had expected it to be so popular. It was no less popular than any other competition in the past.
Especially the people who set up stalls here to sell things. Many people come in the morning with a big basket of goods and sell them out before noon.
After a few days, those who were more diligent made a lot of money.
It’s one thing for the people in the underworld to be generous, but it’s another matter that there are too many people.
So these small sheds like tea stalls and wine shops were also built, thanks to the help of the Shen Ce Army, Chi Xia Army and the Imperial Guards.
The old Taoist priest smiled gently as he walked to the tea stall. He looked at the young girl in plain clothes who was wiping the table and asked softly, "Can I sit down?"
The little girl turned around and saw that the young Taoist priest was a little dazed. The Taoist priest was so handsome, like a god in a picture album.
But the next moment, the little girl came to her senses and said, "Yes, yes, of course!"
The little girl hurriedly wiped the stool with a rag, but while wiping, she ended up using her sleeves directly. How could she let this god sit on a stool that was wiped with a dirty rag?
After the old Taoist priest sat down with a smile, the little girl immediately asked, "Master, what kind of tea would you like to drink? My father said that if you are thirsty, you can drink water for free. If you want tea, I will go and make a pot for you. It's not a good tea, but I grow and sun-dry it in my hometown."
The little face seemed to be looking forward to the Taoist priest saying that he wanted to drink tea. I wonder if he wanted to see the Taoist priest more or for some other reason.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Drink tea, please help me, young lady."
The little girl immediately smiled brightly, turned around and ran towards the shed.
He came back quickly with clean teacups and a kettle.
The little girl felt a little embarrassed at first, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the Taoist priest did not mind that her teacup was crude.
The old Taoist priest took the teacup and took a sip. "Luoziye from Jiangling? Excellent tea."
The little girl scratched her face, smiling shyly, but she also looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise: "It's Luo Ziye, the Taoist priest who went?"
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "I once passed by there when I was young and lived there for a while. I often drank the tea from the leaves of the taro tree. However, the tea made by this girl is much more mellow and fragrant than any I've tasted before."
The old Taoist priest exhaled gently to blow away the heat, then took another sip.
The little girl saw this and thought that the Taoist priest looked very ethereal while drinking tea.
The old Taoist priest saw the little girl looking at him, and he smiled back, and the little girl immediately blushed.
The old Taoist priest asked with a smile, "There are so many people in the Jianghu, are there any troublemakers?"
The little girl immediately shook her head. "No, they're all very nice people. Before we came, my father and I were worried that someone might cause trouble. After all, we're just tea vendors. But after we arrived, we were all so supportive. One rich young man bumped into a stool, but he straightened it himself and bowed to us before leaving. Back home, this would be unthinkable. They all said it was all thanks to His Majesty and the Empress."
The old Taoist priest smiled.
At this moment, a woman with her eyes closed walked over. Not only was she very simple and elegant, but her aura also exuded a soft and comfortable feeling.
The old Taoist priest saw this and said with a smile, "It's been years since I've seen you look like this."
The woman with closed eyes, Liu Xuer from Luoying Mountain, smiled and said, "I'm more curious about why you asked us to come here like this."
Just when Liu Xuer was about to sit down, a young man eight feet tall and wearing coarse cloth shoes suddenly appeared. The young man was not handsome, but he was extremely strong. The muscles in his exposed arms were solid, like iron and stone.
When the little girl saw the two people appear, she was about to speak when she heard the old Taoist say, "Two more teacups, please."
The little girl nodded immediately, but her eyes were secretly glancing at the two people. How could a very beautiful woman see the road with her eyes closed?
There is also that big brother who looks very powerful. Although he looks like a warrior, he has a book on his waist, like a scholar.
Wu Qinhu from the Beast Forest took the teacup from the little girl, thanked her and looked at the old Taoist priest.
The little girl was a bit perceptive and left in a hurry.
Wu Qinhu looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Call the others too."
The old Taoist priest did not hide anything and spoke directly: "Except Liu Su and Li Yunxian, everyone else has been called."
Wu Qinhu took a sip of tea and said, "Except for the three of us, Yu Taohua, Yan Yunxiao, the Fifth Pair, Kuyue, the Old Blind Man, Yang Huayan, and the Old Poisonous Man are all among the twelve. What do you want to do?"
The old Taoist priest sighed, "Qianhu, what do you think of this martial arts performance?"
Wu Qinhu was puzzled, but still replied, "It was lively and quite good. Although I didn't fight anyone I wanted to fight, and many of the truly skilled were only among the twelve, luck is also a part of strength."
The old Taoist priest tapped the table lightly: "Aren't you bored?"
“It’s a bit boring.”
The person who answered was not Wu Qinhu, but a blind young man who suddenly appeared.
The little girl who had been stealing glances at this side took a breath. Another very good-looking person, but also one with his eyes closed.
Do people in Beijing like this?
But at this time, a young man carrying a knife box came over. Unlike the others, this young man was full of the spirit of the gangsters.
The fifth pair came to sit next to the old blind man, invited the little girl to have two bowls of tea, and then looked at the old Taoist priest: "What do you want to do?"
After that, he laughed and scolded, "Don't play dumb, or I'm afraid that person over there will bring him up."
As he spoke, the fifth pair of eyes glanced at the tavern not far away, and saw a tall woman holding the unhappy Kuyue in one hand.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Since you're here, why are you hiding? We've seen you like this before."
As soon as the old Taoist priest finished speaking, a strange man in a purple robe, with waist-length hair and purple eyes walked out.
The leader of the Guxian Sect is Wu Muchi.
Wu Muchi glanced at the old Taoist priest and said, "You asked me to come, so I came. But I will not participate in anything you want to do."
The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "If you don't join us, we will deal with you together."
Wu Muchi frowned, but sat on the bench without saying a word, which was considered as his agreement.
The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "You all still remember how Li Yunxian and Yunxiao used to swagger around and attack a large group of us with swords and knives at such a gathering."
Everyone was silent, but looked at the old Taoist priest with even more curiosity.
The old Taoist priest said, "That little girl named Liu Su doesn't have the courage. It makes this meeting seem a bit boring. So I thought, why don't we take advantage of today's martial arts competition and attack him together? How about forcing him to use his real skills?"
…
PS: The timing is wrong. I just found out that the timing from 1 o'clock last night was changed to 10 o'clock this morning.
