Jiang Chen called the waiter, and after asking about the time, he estimated that there were only two days until the auction. This event made the Zhike Villa full of people. Jiang Chen just went out for a casual stroll. I saw a lot of strangely dressed people, all of whom seemed to be chatting in groups. Looking down from the platform outside my cave, I saw that the large square in front of Zhike Villa seemed a bit crowded with people coming and going. .
Jiang Chen found a corner along the mountain road and walked to a place with a little less people. He leaned on the railing and enjoyed the scenery of Zhike Villa by himself. It must be said that although Zhike Villa is called a mountain villa, However, being built on a mountain still has some charm.
His cave was originally on the side of a mountain, with fewer people coming and going, and it was this more remote place on this side that he chose. The tranquility of this place was just in line with his personality. During this time, he was busy with all kinds of things. Things are going on, there is still no time to calm down and take a good look at the scenery here.
He slowly walked along the road of the mountain and kept walking up. The higher he got, the more he could experience the feeling of seeing all the small mountains. Even the clothes on his body were rustling in the mountain wind. He was enjoying it alone. In this loneliness, I came to a high platform extending from the mountains. There were also traces of cleaning here. It seemed that the waiters here would also come to clean this place.
When I came here, I looked at how small the Sang City in the distance looked at my feet. I couldn't help but think that no matter how huge it was, Sang City, which was located hundreds of miles away, would stand taller and taller as I climbed. It will also appear smaller and smaller, so no matter how high you climb, will you also appear small in the eyes of another person? Is the person who stands tallest in the world a human or a god?
He was lost in thought for a while, but he was awakened from his thoughts by the sound of slight footsteps, and then he heard a hearty voice coming into his ears: "Fellow Taoist is so excited, he is enjoying the beautiful scenery here alone. .”
Jiang Chen took a look at this person. He was tall and had sharp eyebrows. Although he was wearing clothes made of ordinary materials, he could not hide his temperament. He also held a folding fan in his hand with some flower and bird patterns printed on it, which looked interesting. She has a certain elegant aura, and looks similar to her at a young age. However, this has yet to be verified, because there are many beauty-maintaining techniques or face-fixing pills in the spiritual world, which can make a person's appearance permanent, and are highly sought after by female cultivators. things.
He didn't know whether the noble young master with outstanding temperament in front of him was an old monster with advanced cultivation or just because of his age. After Jiang Chen's investigation, he still couldn't tell the man's cultivation, so he could only speak with caution.
"I met my Taoist friend. I am originally from the mountains. I was bored with my cultivation. When I saw the unique scenery here, I couldn't help but stop and look at it. I was fascinated. It made my Taoist friend laugh!
After Jiang Chen's words, the noble prince in front of him chuckled softly and said: "There are so many complicated and trivial things in the world. Warriors like us are usually busy with cultivation matters. How many people can calm down and appreciate such beautiful scenery like Brother Dao?" !”
After saying this, before Jiang Chen could speak, the noble young master looked ahead, holding a fan in his hand and said to himself: "It's said that when you return in spring, you will be a guest! It does have some meaning, but I don't know what this means. Is there a story behind it?”
Seeing this man talking to himself, Jiang Chen didn't know what his purpose was, but no matter what his purpose was, he didn't want to continue to entangle with him, so he had to say: "I am also a newbie here, and I don't know the meaning of this poem. If you want to explore more, you might as well ask the waiter here. I have finished admiring the scenery here, so I won’t disturb my fellow Taoist, and I’ll take my leave!”
"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute. I am being abrupt and disrupting your elegance. I only came here to disturb you when I saw you were alone here."
When Jiang Chen was about to turn around and leave, he was stopped by the noble young master in front of him. He then came up to him and said, "I've met Brother Taoist in Jingyou. I just heard Brother Taoist say that he was new to this place. Could it be that he was attracted by this auction?" Attracted?"
Hearing the noble man's question, Jiang Chen had no choice but to continue talking to him and replied: "I'm Chen Chuyang. I've met Taoist brother. I came here this time to pass through Sangcheng to buy some things and stayed for two days. Although I heard that an auction is about to be held here, my cultivation level is low and I am not qualified to participate in such a grand event. I don’t know why brother is here?”
Jingyou seemed to have guessed what Jiang Chen was going to ask, but he saw that he was not in a hurry. He put the folding fan in his hand and pointed at the table and chairs beside him and said, "Brother Taoist, please sit down. I have nothing to do. You might as well chat for a few words." A way to pass the time.”
Jiang Chen felt strange about your young master's behavior. Ever since this person arrived here, he has been beating around the bush and refused to express his intention. In addition, this person seems to have an extraordinary status. If it is a casual chat, just a few words will suffice, and he will not be so deliberate. Asking him, Jiang Chen suppressed his anxiety and sat on the chair seriously, staring at Jingyou.
Jingyou was not surprised by Jiang Chen's expression. He sat opposite him and said slowly, "I am here just for this auction. I am only here to find a medicinal plant."
Hearing him talk about the medicinal materials, Jiang Chen was startled. He suddenly thought that his identity as a seller of elixirs had been discovered, and now someone came to the door. He was about to ask a question, but Jingyou continued: "My father got a medicine." I have a disease, and I am in urgent need of finding a medicinal material. I heard that an auction was held here, so I came here to try my luck."
"Oh? What kind of medicinal materials are needed? Seeing that fellow Taoist is very noble, his status must be extraordinary. I wonder what can be found in Sangcheng that can catch the eyes of fellow Taoist?"
Jiang Chen asked doubtfully.
Jingyou sighed and said: "Although my family has some wealth, the world is so big that there are countless treasures from heaven and earth. Besides, the disease my father has is not something that can be cured by ordinary elixirs."
Jiang Chen didn't know how to answer the question, and he didn't know why this person wanted to talk to him about this matter. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Sangcheng is barren. I heard that the great merchants are all over the place with spiritual wealth. They are rich in the world. There are no things in the world. If the big merchants can’t find it, why don’t fellow Taoists go to the big merchants to look for it?”
After listening to Jiang Chen's words, Jingyou just nodded and smiled, but did not answer. Instead, he continued: "In order to find this elixir, my father was really anxious. Under his urgent orders, I did a lot of wrong things. It even forced some people to lose their lives, and they were really conflicted in their hearts, so they came here to relax, and unexpectedly, they met Brother Chen."
Listening to Jingyou's strange words, Jiang Chen couldn't take the words anymore, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Master Jingyou did this to fulfill his filial piety. If he has done something wrong, he will try his best to compensate the victim. How can Master Jingyou think so? It is also enough to prove your kindness. With your family background, if you are lucky enough to find the elixir, you will be favored by heaven. You still need to repay this favor. You need to do more benevolence and righteousness. It can be regarded as having achieved merit and repaying God. Kindhearted."
Jiang Chen's seemingly perfunctory words also contained some truth. After saying these words, Jingyou's eyes lit up and he was no longer as melancholy as before. He looked at Jiang Chen and smiled knowingly: "Brother Chen's words, although I have thought about it before, but it has always been entangled in my heart. Today, when I heard my Taoist friend say it, I felt a different feeling, and it solved most of the knots in my heart."
Jiang Chen thought that this person was taking care of his own face and said this deliberately, and then said: "Fellow Taoist already has the answer in his mind. I am just following common sense, there is nothing special."
Hearing Jiang Chen's somewhat flat tone, Jingyou smiled even brighter, clapped his hands and said, "That's right, that's right, just follow what common sense says, then I'll just do it according to common sense."
"Thank you, Brother Chen, for reminding me. It's such an honor for me to meet Brother Chen by chance!" Jingyou bowed slightly to Jiang Chen and said gratefully.
Jiang Chen hurriedly helped Jingyou up. This person's origin was unknown and his identity was extraordinary. In addition, he said a lot of things that he didn't understand clearly. Naturally, he was not willing to easily form a causal relationship with him this time, so he had to explain in a hesitant way. He said: "It's all Taoist friends who woke me up. I'm just chatting with fellow Taoists."
After the two greeted each other politely, they sat down again. When Jiang Chen saw this, he was about to find a way to leave the place, but he saw a well-dressed man walking quickly on the mountain road in the distance. His beard was almost as long as his hair. The rough look on his face would scare an ordinary person half to death if he saw it.
After a while, the rugged man walked to the platform, looked at Jiang Chen with a slightly startled look, then bowed respectfully to Jingyou in front of him, and then whispered something in Jingyou's ear, saying: After that, he stood aside respectfully and waited quietly.
Jingyou remained calm, exchanged a few words with Jiang Chen casually, and then found an excuse to leave. This move made Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief. Although the two seemed to be chatting, the pressure this person put on Jiang Chen It was too big. Instead of facing me like an idler who came to enjoy the beautiful scenery, I looked like a high-ranking person questioning me, which made my nerves tense the whole time. When I saw him leaving, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Brother Chen, this is the farewell. I hope to see you again in the future!"
Jingyou walked a few steps and seemed to think of something. He turned around and said goodbye to Jiang Chen. Then he muttered some instructions to the big man beside him, who kept nodding in agreement.
When Jingyou walked forward quickly, the big man turned around and came to Jiang Chen, and took out a jade token, about the size of three fingers. In his hand, there was even a trace of spiritual energy warming him. After weighing his palms, Jiang Chen felt something extraordinary.
The big man then whispered to Jiang Chen: "My master said, I am glad to meet you, and I hope to be your friend. This is my master's personal token. You can use this order to find him when you arrive in Chaoge in the future."
After saying that, the big man walked away without giving Jiang Chen any response, and just watched the two people leave blankly.
