Such as the eastern part of Yuncheng, inside the Gaoguo Teahouse.
In the corner, Cheng Sheng imitated the drinking methods of other guests, put the candied fruit, malt sugar and barley tea leaves into the tea bowl and shook it slightly.
After the barley tea leaves are brewed, the malt sugar is fully dissolved in the water, and the candied fruit has absorbed the tea water and becomes plump, then just take a sip.
fragrant!
This is the first feeling of high fruit tea.
Then, there is the sweet aroma brought by candied fruit and caramel.
But because there is barley tea as a buffer, even if you drink a few more sips, you won't feel tired because of the strong sweet flavor.
This tea tastes really good....
In the teahouse.
Monks such as Cheng Huo, or some wealthy tea drinkers, would also order an extra portion of chopped nuts to sprinkle in the tea bowl to add flavor.
As soon as the warm tea entered his mouth, Chengshuo felt that the pain all over his body had subsided a lot.
have to say.
People in Ruyun City really enjoy it...
Compared with Guyang City located on the border of Daliang Kingdom, Ruyun City located in the hinterland of Liang Kingdom has an area more than six times that of Guyang City.
The prosperity and dense population in the city are far superior to those in remote places on the border such as Guyang City.
also.
Sects such as Dao Dao Sect and Beixian Mountain also have their main altars located in Ruyun City.
These sects do this for a reason.
The court of Daliang Kingdom had express provisions:
Within the territory of Liang Kingdom, monks are strictly prohibited from detaining or imprisoning mortals privately, and they are even more strictly prohibited from extracting the "power of pain" from mortals.
However, although the Daliang Kingdom strictly prohibits practitioners from torturing mortals, all living beings suffer.
As long as people live, as long as they are classified into high and low, rich and poor, there will definitely be pain, and the 'power of pain' will definitely arise.
Moreover, these 'powers of pain' are completely generated by unconscious behaviors such as birth, old age, illness and death, so they do not belong to anyone.
As long as you are a monk, you can absorb it and use it for your own use.
Therefore, in order to absorb these ownerless 'powers of pain', each sect established its main altar in densely populated towns.
For example, Bianjing, the capital of Daliang Kingdom.
Another example is Ruyun City...
Out of caution, after entering Ruyun City, Cheng Huo did not go to the Taoist Sect's main altar to become a disciple, instead of looking for a gift of jade slips.
After all, it is essential to be on guard against others.
Before deciding whether to join the Taoist Sect, Cheng Huo first visited all the districts in Ruyun City.
After that, he chose the Gaoguo Teahouse, which has a large flow of people, and drank tea while listening to the chatter of the tea drinkers in the building.
By doing this, you can relax a little and relieve the pain caused by the 'power of pain'.
Secondly, some useful information can be gleaned from the tea drinkers.
Maybe it's psychological.
It could also be that high fruit tea actually has pain-relieving properties.
After drinking a few sips of high-fruit tea, Chengshuo felt that the pain caused by the 'power of pain' was no longer as unbearable as before.
Although it still hurts, the pain is obviously much better than before.
So Chengsheng sat in Gaoguo Teahouse for three days...
On the third day, a monk with a mid-level cultivation of worshiping gods, and a little bit of 'power of pain' escaping from his body from time to time, attracted the attention of the survivors.
This person's state of survival is all too familiar.
——Only when a monk absorbs the 'power of pain' that does not belong to him, will he be unable to control this power and inadvertently overflow it.
In addition to the 'power of pain' escaping from the body surface, this monk's face always had a painful and tired expression.
This is the expression that people who are tortured by the 'power of pain' will have.
This made Chengsheng more certain of his own judgment.
After the monk entered the teahouse, he went straight to the counter and bought a large bag of ingredients for brewing high-fruit tea wrapped in oil paper.
The monk paid the money and walked out of the teahouse quickly.
Seeing him leaving, Cheng Huo hurriedly drank the high fruit tea in his hand and followed him calmly.
The monk led Cheng Huo down two streets and stopped in front of a stall selling fried rice noodles.
He placed the high-fruit tea bag he just bought on the stall, turned around and gave Chenghuo a kind smile.
Cheng Sheng understood what it meant and stepped forward and said, "With my fellow Taoist cultivation, no matter what, you won't be able to make a living by setting up a fried rice noodle stall in the city, right?"
"Ah,"
The monk in the middle stage of worshiping the gods gave a bitter smile and said helplessly: "If I don't find something to do and turn my attention away, I'm afraid I'll be hurt to death by the 'power of pain'."
really....
Hearing what the monk said, Chengshuo felt happy, cupped his fists and said, "Don't you know your friend's surname?"
"Yuan Xiujie." The monk clasped his fists in return and said, "Dare to ask my friend..."
Chenghuo said: "My name is Tieniu."
…
After a conversation, Chengshuo learned from the other party:
This middle-stage god worshiping monk named Yuan Xiujie also absorbed a large amount of 'power of pain' by chance.
In order to dissolve the 'power of pain' in his body, Yuan Xiujie learned from his friends that there was a dangerous place called the 'Blood Forest' in a valley about three hundred miles away from Ruyun City.
There is a blood-red 'blood tree' growing in the blood forest, and the sap flowing out of its trunk can dissolve the 'power of pain'.
Yuan Xiujie said: "However, I didn't know until I arrived at Ruyun City that the Blood Forest is shrouded in white mist all year round."
"It is said that the white mist is related to the 'Ancient Immortal'."
"Anyone who breaks into the white fog is very likely to see illusions, evil spirits, ghosts, and even crazy 'ancient immortals' from the fog. In short, it is very dangerous."
Yuan Xiujie's words made Chengshuo subconsciously recall the white mist that appeared in Shenshu Village.
In the white mist of Shenshu Village, a group of immortals who were suspected of being 'ancient immortals' once appeared...
Chengshuo looked at Yuan Xiujie and waited quietly for the next sentence.
The latter continued: "However, the white fog in the Blood Forest subsides every three years, and it lasts about six or seven days at a time."
"In order to wait for the six or seven days when the white fog dissipated, I set up a noodle stall in Ruyun City and cooked fried noodles for more than a year."
Chengshuo nodded, thoughtfully.
He expressed his doubts: "Since the blood tree sap can dissolve the 'power of pain', it must be profitable. In addition, the blood tree is only a few days away from Ruyun City... So, Isn’t there ready-made blood tree sap for sale in Ruyun City?”
Yuan Xiujie shook his head and said: "The blood tree is very strange. The juice it leaks will usually break down in three to five days."
"And the most important thing is that the juice cannot be put in the storage bag, so it is impossible for anyone to sell it."
"Can't put it in a storage bag?" These words made Chengshuo think of the 'Dao Fruit' in Shenshu Village.
Only live animals cannot be put into storage bags.
Thinking of this, Chengshuo said with a strange expression: "Is it possible that the blood tree sap is alive?"
"Who knows."
Yuan Xiujie shook his head and said: "Anyway, counting the time, the white fog in the blood forest will subside in about three months."
"So three months later is the best opportunity to collect blood tree sap. If you miss it, you will have to wait another three years."
"I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"
