The exiled immortal
Normally, Yu Linhuan would leave the hexagram and wait for the fulfillment date to arrive before going to find out for herself whether it had come true, but she didn't this time. This time, she would pretend it hadn't happened—since the other party didn't want to, she would abide by the rules of Baizhetang and not embarrass her boss.
"Boss, welcome to Baizhetang in the future~" Yu Linhuan blinked, "Our Baizhetang is recognized as the second most versatile, our prices are very reasonable, and we have a strong professional ethics!"
"Okay." Jiang Jingyuan smiled faintly.
I don’t know if this person knows something, otherwise how could he be so sure that they will meet again... In this world, comings and goings depend entirely on accidents and fate.
At the same time, she also thought of Baizhetang——
It is said that the first leader of Baizetang was frustrated for many years, so he founded Baizetang in a self-deprecating way.
Second in all aspects, all-round, but second in every field, that’s true.
Although Yu Linhuan hadn't finished speaking, Jiang Jingyuan already understood that her ability to interpret hexagrams was indeed impressive.
The hexagram does not tell people all the details clearly, it only shows a general meaning, and then the person who interprets the hexagram makes a more detailed judgment based on his own life experience.
If she hadn't interrupted, Yu Linhuan would have been able to quickly identify specific things based on his own life experience.
"I'd better not tell fortunes next time..." Jiang Jingyuan said helplessly.
Jing Youxi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "You'd better pay attention to the aura you've been infected with. Although I can't see what it is specifically, it's not a good thing for you to carry this aura."
Jiang Jingyuan and Yu Linhuan were both stunned.
breath?
Is she infected with something?
What kind of things can make people infected with the smell?
Jiang Jingyuan was puzzled, but still kept an eye on her and said to her seriously, "I understand. Thank you."
"Breath?" Yu Linhuan looked at the person next to him in confusion.
The person next to her also looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and uttered a word softly through his thin lips: "Dish."
This guy deserves a beating! Yu Linhuan was so angry that smoke was almost coming out of his head.
"Young Master Yu, you can't be unaware of this, right?!" Jing Youxi raised the corner of his mouth provocatively and spoke slowly.
Yu Linhuan gritted his teeth, turned around and stared at Jiang Jingyuan.
Jiang Jingyuan kept a stern face and let her stare at him.
Finally, the young lady in green suddenly realized what was going on. She glanced at the person next to her and said disdainfully, "What a fuss! It's just a little fishy smell, just a matter of a breath-suppressing talisman."
A breath-suppressing talisman?... Jiang Jingyuan took out a white porcelain bottle, poured out a red pill and swallowed it. The aura of his whole body was instantly concealed.
If she hadn't been standing right in front of him, Yu Linhuan would have easily overlooked her.
Yu Linhuan glared at the person next to her again. She didn't say anything, but her eyes showed her intention:
Isn’t that the solution?
"Then we'll say goodbye here and see you next time." Jiang Jingyuan said goodbye.
"Okay, okay, come and play with me next time!" Yu Linhuan was in a very good mood as it was a rare occasion for him to open his business, and he waved at her.
"If you have the chance, you can come to Shenzhaomen. You will get a pleasant surprise there." Jing Youxi also said with a smile.
Jiang Jingyuan was a little surprised.
Although Jing Youxi seemed to be easy to get along with, she could feel that this person was only nice to Yu Linhuan and was actually quite cold to her. She never expected that she would say that.
Jiang Jingyuan responded seriously and turned to leave.
…………
Fortunately, Jiang Jingyuan had some silver in his bracelet, so he was able to change into white clothes and go to the second floor of the teahouse to eat cakes for breakfast.
Jiang Jingyuan swallowed a mouthful of warm, fragrant tea and listened expressionlessly to the storyteller's tales and the quiet conversations around him. He thought to himself, "The ancients weren't kidding. Teahouses are where you get to hear the best things."
The storyteller, dressed in a green robe, waved his folding fan leisurely, his face beaming with joy. "I'm sure everyone knows about the legendary blood seal. Today we're going to talk about this divine artifact that fell from the sky thousands of years ago and caused unrest in the world."
"The book records that three hundred years ago, the newly crowned Emperor of Yuan State, Emperor Huan Jiang Weiji, achieved fame at a young age and single-handedly quelled the conflict and obtained the blood seal that had caused so many to fight for it.
"However, Jiang Weiji was also seriously injured by this incident, and he passed the blood seal and the imperial seal of Yuan State to the next monarch early on. From then on, these two seals served as the imperial seals of Yuan State, as a symbol of the legitimacy of each Yuan State emperor...
"Our protagonist today is the current emperor of Yuan State, and we are going to discuss his technique of immortality!"
Wow——
The spectators in the teahouse opened their eyes wide, and their curious and surprised looks were all cast on the table set up on the first floor.
The middle-aged storyteller was sitting on a chair, his folding fan snapping shut and then opening again. He smiled broadly, "Do you know why the Blood Seal was fought over by people all over the world thousands of years ago?"
"As we all know, divine artifacts are rare, but they do exist. So, is this legendary mysterious treasure responsible for causing turmoil throughout the world for a hundred years simply because it's a divine artifact?"
"What is the unknown secret behind this?"
Everyone held their breath and looked at him intently.
The man in green clothes waved his fan slowly and continued, "I think everyone from all corners of the world has guessed it.
"Yes, this conjecture was put forward as early as a hundred years ago, and this conjecture has also been confirmed by the behavior of the current emperor.
"The blood seal must contain a method to become an immortal!"
The storyteller folded his fan and tapped it against the palm of his left hand. He looked at the crowd and said passionately, "Generation after generation has always talked about 'attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven.' But how do we enter the Tao? How do we ascend to heaven and become immortal?"
Everyone nodded unconsciously.
"The blood seal holds all the answers!"
The middle-aged man said, "Think about it, everyone. The emperor of Dayuan was also a man who conquered all directions in the past. Could he have been pondering the method of immortality for years without discovering anything now?"
He said confidently: "The Emperor has discovered the secret of immortality contained in the Blood Seal!"
Someone in the teahouse let out a soft "hiss".
"Hey! Why didn't Emperor Huan and other emperors in the past live forever?" someone asked.
The middle-aged man wasn't annoyed by the questioning. Instead, he laughed heartily, as if he had won the battle. He said, "The Blood Seal is so mysterious, it's naturally not easy to obtain the immortality within it. Otherwise, why would the current emperor still not achieve immortality?"
“This is hundreds of years of research!”
He looked emotional and sighed deeply.
"Hey, but I heard that a demigod appeared in Beigui Shuangque!" someone asked, "Is that what the ancients called 'attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven'?"
"Mr. Haha, please be careful when answering. Many immortal monks have gathered in Ling County recently!"
The storyteller closed his eyes, shook his head, and said with an unfathomable look, "The ancients spoke of 'attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven.' This meant that after entering the Tao, one achieved enlightenment, and then, under the guidance of an immortal, ascended to become an immortal. Immortals are immortals, and humans are humans. People in the past never talked about 'half-immortals.'"
"Are you saying that Beigui Shuangque is lying?"
In an instant, the people in the teahouse became excited and showed expressions of anticipation for a good show.
The storyteller smiled slightly, not panicking, and looked at everyone and said, "The elixirs we use on a daily basis all come from Beigui Shuangque. Of course, the credibility of Beigui Shuangque is beyond doubt.
"For hundreds of years, people have been researching and experimenting with methods to achieve immortality. We don't know what method Beigui Shuangque used. Perhaps he followed an ancient method, or perhaps he tried something new. Whether it was right or wrong, we don't know.
"What I just mentioned was the method of becoming an immortal as described in the Blood Seal and the ancient method of cultivating and attaining the Tao. Someone asked about the 'half-immortal' of Beigui Shuangque. I can only say that I think Beigui Shuangque probably doesn't use these two methods.
"If that's the case, then it has nothing to do with our topic today, nor does it refute our previous speculation, nor does it deny the integrity of Beigui Shuangque!"
Suddenly, some people in the teahouse laughed, while others sighed in disappointment.
brush--
The storyteller opened the folding fan in his hand and waved it gently in front of him. He said with a smile:
"Then everyone, let's continue--"
As it approached 9:00 a.m., the sunlight became more dazzling and glaring.
Listening to the questions and answers between the storyteller and the audience, Jiang Jingyuan turned to look at the window.
On the second floor of the teahouse, a woman in flowing white clothes walked over. She did not take off the veil on her head even when she was inside the building. The white veil vaguely covered her figure, as if a thin cloud of smoke was lingering around her.
She sat down at the table by the window without disturbing anyone.
The veil fluttered, and the sunlight fell on her profile through the white veil. Her indifferent eyes were completely golden in the sunlight - as ruthless as a god.
She wore a veil, and the sunlight illuminated the faint glimpses of white pearls and a few copper beads hanging in front of the lower half of her face. Her white dress was wrapped in brass chains, like a bondage, from which hung a dozen copper bells in a staggered pattern...
Jiang Jingyuan's unintentional glance seemed to give him a glimpse of a mysterious corner of ancient times, and he was unconsciously immersed in it.
"Exiled Immortal..."
I don’t know if it was because of the storyteller’s story, but this thought kept echoing in Jiang Jingyuan’s mind for a long time.
The woman in white who looked about nineteen years old turned her eyes to her and nodded indifferently, and the white veil covered her face again.
Jiang Jingyuan came back to his senses, lowered his head, and stared blankly at the teacup in his hand.
It took her a long time to wake up completely.
Jiang Jingyuan looked up again. There was no one by the window not far away. Only the bright sunlight fell on the tables and chairs.
When did you leave?
Jiang Jingyuan was slightly startled.
After a moment, she also stood up and walked out of the teahouse.
Suddenly, she paused, then quickly continued walking forward.
She walked neither fast nor slow, but a biting chill was already creeping up her spine—a lifeless gaze had been following her closely from a distance since the moment she walked out of the teahouse!
How could this happen?!
She was worried that the talisman might be easily damaged, so she even took the Breath-Resisting Pill. How come she was being targeted again?!
Jiang Jingyuan was puzzled. Could it be that Jiang Jingjian bought a fake?
She immediately rejected this assumption. Jiang Jingjian and his men didn't buy their own elixirs; they were all directly ordered by the palace and Beigui Shuangque. There was a basic quota every year, so there was no way they could be fake.
Well, that is...
Jiang Jingyuan really didn't want to believe this guess, but now there was only one explanation - the person who was targeting her was much stronger than her, who could only exert some of the power of the "Teng Snake" mark.
Jiang Jingyuan was shocked and didn't understand.
People with this kind of strength are usually guests of honor in various sects. Why would they run to this ordinary Ling County for no reason? ! !
Now, this person was probably eyeing the fishy smell on her body that Yu Linhuan mentioned - the smell left by the magic weapon at the bottom of the pool.
Although this person may not be able to clearly know that this is the aura of a magic weapon, he also knows that this aura is unusual.
Jiang Jingyuan's heart sank.
