C104 (1/2)
Through the window, he could see the bright moonlight outside. Zi Feng was intoxicated. The peaceful night was filled with the sounds of insects and the vast stars.
A light breeze blew past, and the few wild bamboo branches in the yard started to tremble with the wind. Zi Feng, who was deep in thought, suddenly thought of something and walked towards the door.
Pushing the door open, the fresh air outside caused Zi Feng to feel a wave of happiness. Quietly walking in the mottled courtyard, Zi Feng searched through his memories of the old man's room.
That year when he was making love with He Cheng Xiang on the roof, Zi Feng had accidentally seen the old man's room, this time coming up to Han Mountain, he had asked the old man a few questions.
The quiet night sky, the quiet courtyard. Zi Feng, who was walking on the stone path, could only hear his own footsteps. As he got closer and closer to the old man's room, Zi Feng could feel his heart beating faster.
Not long after, Zi Feng was standing in front of the old man's door. He was hesitantly standing in front of the door. When he was about to knock, he dejectedly put down his right hand.
After quietly waiting for a while, Zi Feng saw that the light in the elder's room was still on. He reckoned that the elder was still awake, but Zi Feng would not be able to knock. After wandering around for a long time, Zi Feng helplessly turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as Zi Feng was about to step down the stairs, a voice came from the room. ”You actually came. Come in!”
When Zi Feng heard this, he helplessly turned his head. Just now, he had left because he wasn't ready to accept the unknown.
These facts were a bit inconceivable, so Zi Feng was very afraid of finding out the result, so he paced around outside for a long time.
Now that he heard the old man's voice, Zi Feng had no choice but to turn around.
Zi Feng slowly pushed open the door and walked in. The fragrance of sandalwood wafted into his nose; it was even more refreshing than the air outside.
Zi Feng raised his head and saw the old man sitting at the tea table, calmly sipping his tea. Zi Feng stepped into the room, walking cautiously towards the old man.
Zi Feng could vaguely smell the faint aroma of the tea.
As he approached the table, the old man reached out his tea cup and pushed it towards Zi Feng.
At the elder's signal, Zi Feng sat down and began to carefully taste the cup of green tea that the elder had pushed to him.
The entrance was smooth, but not greasy. When it entered the throat, there was an indescribable moisturizing feeling. When it entered the stomach, it suddenly ignited. The force within the body involuntarily increased its rotation.
With such a sudden change, Zi Feng looked at the elder in disbelief.
However, the old man was smiling as he looked at Zi Feng. Just as Zi Feng was about to ask, the burning feeling in his stomach suddenly disappeared and was replaced by an indescribably clear feeling.
Zi Feng looked at the teacup in his hand in disbelief. There were so many changes to this tiny cup of water.
When the old man saw the disbelief in Zi Feng's eyes, he smiled and said, ”This tea is called the zygomatic bone of the mountain. The essence of the five poisons, the three vile bodies, and some herbs are used to make this tea.”
As he spoke, the old man didn't forget to show off his skills to Zi Feng. When Zi Feng heard the old man's words, he was stunned. He hadn't thought that such a small cup of tea would be so complicated.
Just as Zi Feng was in a daze, the elder spoke, ”Come on, are you puzzled?” Hearing the elder mention this, Zi Feng raised his head, his empty eyes suddenly lighting up, waiting for the elder's reply. The old man paused for a moment and continued, ”It can be said that this was a request from someone else.”
As he spoke, he stopped speaking. When Zi Feng heard the elder's reply, an astonished expression could be seen in his eyes.
Entrusted by someone? Thinking of this, Zi Feng couldn't help but think of the mysterious woman that had saved him.
Could it be her?
Thinking about this, Zi Feng was about to ask, but the old man said: ”Don't ask me who that person is, I only gave you the Buddha bead as a protective talisman, I didn't expect you to be able to absorb the energy inside, it seems like your fate with him is not shallow!”
After speaking, he smiled as he looked at Zi Feng. When Zi Feng heard the old man's words, he could not help but take down the Buddhist Jade Bead that had become transparent.
Under the dim candlelight, the Buddha beads appeared even more translucent. It was so gorgeous and crystal clear that it made people seem like they didn't like it.
The old man took the buddhist beads from Zi Feng's hands. His cloudy old eyes flashed with a sliver of reluctance. His shriveled fingers lovingly caressed the sparkling buddhist beads and he could not help but sigh.
Zi Feng saw that the old man's mind was hurt and couldn't help but ask, ”What's wrong?”
When the old man heard Zi Feng's question, he was momentarily stunned. His blurry eyes stared at Zi Feng, at a loss of what to do.
A moment later, the old man gathered his thoughts and muttered, ”Nothing, I just remembered something from the past.”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the window.
Violet Maple followed him over.
The old man silently looked at the old man's dappled courtyard. He couldn't help but cry bitterly and muttered, ”For you, I will wait here for a thousand years. I have never let this courtyard be dirty before, but when will you return?”
As he spoke, he kept sighing and looking at the bright and pure moon, he helplessly closed his eyes.
When Zi Feng heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but guess who was the arrogant him that willingly guarded this land an inch away?
The old man calmly stood by the window, no longer paying any attention to Zi Feng. Zi Feng recalled the old man's words and his mind was in a mess. He originally thought that as long as the old man said it, he would know the reason for everything. However, he didn't expect that the old man's words would cause Zi Feng to sink into confusion.
