Chapter 1020
The boat traveled for several li, but it still didn't reach the shore. At this time, it was the disciple who steered the boat. The two sides of the waterway had become cliffs and precipices. On the cliffs, the cries of apes and cranes rose and fell one after another. The precipices were also lush and verdant, with many green things hidden in the clouds.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at it and felt quite strange. She pointed at the green on the precipice and said, "Brother Liang, what kind of medicinal herbs are these?
This humble one has never seen such a thing before! "
Liang Cangxu glanced at it and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Ren has misjudged. Those aren't medicinal herbs, but … tea trees!"
"Tea trees?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. She asked curiously, "Are those green leaves tea leaves?
Why are they different from what I usually see? "
"Naturally, they are different."
Liang Cangxu said, "Junior Brother Ren has seen that they have been processed. These are grown on tea trees, so of course they are different!"
"Haha, I understand."
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile, "Reading ten thousand books is really not as good as traveling a thousand li. If I didn't come to your sect, how would I know that tea leaves would be like this?"
While chatting and laughing, the big boat went against the current and entered a small pool. When it docked on the shore, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but sigh. "There is an island in the water, and there is water on the island. The Dao of Immortality … is really magical …"
On the shore, an old man with white hair and beard was waiting with several disciples. After jumping ashore, Liang Cangxu introduced, "Ren Shaoxia, this is Li Xu of Huiming Hall, Li Li."
Li Li smiled, his mouth wide open. He cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of Bai Zhangmen, I welcome Miss Zixia, Ren Xiaoyao, and Ren Shaoxia from the Incense Cult!"
Although Zhang Xiaohua and Meng were forced to come here, they saw that Liang Cangxu did not make things difficult for them along the way. This Huiming Hall's Li Xu was also polite to Li. Although they were puzzled, they also went forward to greet him. They bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for welcoming us.
"Miss Zixia and Ren Shaoxia are too courteous." Li smiled. "Both of you are the messengers of the Incense Cult. Of course, you represent the Incense Cult. How could I, Between the Clouds and the Water, not treat you with respect?"
"We don't dare, we don't dare!" Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Bai Zhangmen of the Incense Cult still has important matters to attend to. For the time being, I will have to inconvenience you two. This way, please. I have already arranged a place for you two. Please take a rest!"
"This way, Ren Shaoxia, Miss Zixia. Liang will take his leave first!"
Liang Cangxu cupped his hands and said goodbye, then left without saying a word.
Zhang Xiaohua and Meng were led by Li Li to an abode. In the abode, several beautiful maids had already brewed fragrant tea and picked some rare fruits, waiting for the guests.
After the guests and the host landed, Li raised his teacup and said, "Ren Shaoxia, Miss Zixia, please try our Cloud Mist Tea. This is a specialty of our Incense Cult. You can't taste it anywhere else!"
Zhang Xiaohua and Meng both picked up their teacups and took a sip, praising it endlessly.
Meng was fine with it. She only felt that this mouthful of refreshing tea made her mouth salivate and had endless flavors. Zhang Xiaohua was even more different. She only felt that when the tea entered her stomach, a wisp of Qi of Heaven and Earth was naturally born. She only needed to slightly circulate her Qi to refine it into her body. She knew that this tea was indeed precious.
Zhang Xiaohua had also drunk tea with Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Guozhuang House. That tea only had an ordinary taste. Although the Qi of Heaven and Earth was comparable to this tea, the taste was worlds apart.
"Good tea!"
Zhang Xiaohua put down her teacup, and praised, "Ren can be considered to have drunk countless good teas, but I think this is the first time he has drunk this kind of celestial tea!"
Li Li was overjoyed, and said, "Ren Shaoxia can actually taste three of its flavors?
Sect Leader Bi is also a tea lover. He often says that this is a celestial tea. Although this old man can taste the differences, I can't tell why.
Please enlighten me, Ren Shaoxia! "
Zhang Xiaohua blushed slightly, and said with a smile, "Old Hall Master is thinking too much. I just feel that this tea is indeed a little different from the tea of Chuanxiang Cult, but I don't know what the difference is. Let me tell you something, but I have disappointed Li Li!"
Li was indeed disappointed, but he still said, "Since Ren Shaoxia likes it, then please wait a moment. This Cloud Mist Tea is also precious in Between the Clouds and the Water. This old man will go and see if the sect leader is free. At the same time, I will also ask for some tea for Ren Shaoxia!"
Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed, and cupped her hands, and said, "Thank you very much!"
After Li left, Zhang Xiaohua also asked the others in the house to leave.
Meng rebuked, "When did you drink tea on Lingering Fragrance Peak?
Why didn't I know?
Why are you talking nonsense? Don't you care about your face? "
Zhang Xiaohua laughed and said, "Mother and father at home both like to drink tea, but they drink despicable tea. Now that they see a rare tea, how can they not ask for some?
Bring it back for father and mother to taste?
For this, why would I care about my face? "
Meng was a little disappointed, "Sigh, you can give up your face to find something fresh for mother. Even if I want to give it up, who can I give it to?"
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohua patted Meng's shoulder and said, "Don't you still have my father and mother?
If you have to give it up, then give it up! "
Meng's face flushed red, and she spat, "They are your father and mother. What … what does it have to do with me?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, but did not continue to harp on this. She said, "That may not be so. Although your mother is no longer alive, your father … can still be found. From Liang Cangxu's words, your mother should be the Holy Maiden of the Tenryū Sect. Such a noble role … how bad can your father be?
Perhaps he is a famous person in Jianghu?
But … "
"But what?" Meng Qi asked.
"However, looking at your mother's appearance, she ran to a remote village to hide. There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that she's hiding from the Heavenly Dragon Sect. That father of yours that you haven't met, I'm afraid he's not someone from the Heavenly Dragon Sect!"
"Sigh, yes, I think so too.
But … my father is still my father. No matter what, I have to know who he is! "
Meng was melancholy. She then looked outside and frowned. "Xiaohua, I have been thinking along the way. Why is Liang Cangxu so polite and insisted that we come Between the Clouds and the Water?
If it was my decision, even Yu Sui would not agree. I listened to your idea and followed you here. You … how confident are you that you can escape from here? "
"Why do we have to escape?"
Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously. "Although I don't quite understand the intentions of that Bai Zhangmen Between the Clouds and the Water, just looking at Liang Cangxu and Li Xu here, they do not seem to have any ill intentions. Perhaps that Bai Zhangmen has something to ask us personally?"
"I have a feeling that things are not so simple. Didn't you ask Liang Cangxu a few questions earlier?
You also told me on the way here. They have been working hard in Jianghu for so many years and have always maintained a mysterious appearance. Why are they being so polite to us?
Don't forget that Great Elder Jing Gang was killed by them!
They have been at odds with our Fragrant Cult for so many years. It would be easy for them to kill us now! "
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this. Since this Shaoxia dared to bring you here, I naturally have a hundred percent confidence. If I had a ninety-nine percent confidence, why would I be willing to let you take the risk?
Let's not talk about other things, just you … "
"Can't you talk about something else?
Why do you always talk about my appearance?
Isn't it just because my mother is the Sacred Ambassador of the Tenryū Sect?
As for whether or not she is the Sacred Lady, I don't know if she will give face … "
Meng was a little annoyed by Zhang Xiaohua's weak explanation.
Zhang Xiaohua knew that Meng was a little upset. She was brought to a strange place by Between the Clouds and the Water and walked blindfolded for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. He held Meng's hand and chatted with her. Meng's expression gradually eased. After the time it took to eat a meal, the old Hallmaster returned with two jade bottles in his hand. He had a smile on his face. He entered the door and said, "I am really sorry for making you two wait."
Then he handed over the jade bottles and said, "This is Between the Clouds and the Water's specialty, Cloud Mist Tea. Please keep it well."
Zhang Xiaohua took the bottles and opened the cork. A light and elegant fragrance rushed into his nose. His whole head felt refreshed. He used his divine sense to scan the jade bottles and found that there was a rich vitality in them.
Zhang Xiaohua kept one bottle for herself and handed the other to Meng. Meng looked at him and said, "You keep it for me!"
After Zhang Xiaohua put it away, Li said with a smile, "Bai Zhangmen of the Bi Sect invited Ren Shaoxia to the White Cloud Hall for a chat."
"Me?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said, "Why aren't there two people?"
The old Hallmaster said, "This is the Sect Leader's order. I don't know."
"I see …" Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and nodded. She said, "Please lead the way for me, Mr. Li."
Then he turned his head and said, "Senior Sister Zixia, please wait here. I will be back soon!"
"Okay, you … be careful!" Meng replied with concern.
Zhang Xiaohua followed Li Xu to a simple and unadorned hall. At this time, there were more than ten people sitting on both sides of the hall. There were men and women, fat and thin. Liang Cangxu sat on the right side, slightly above. The three people who set up the Three Talents Formation were also next to him, sitting below. Young Master Peng Yeyu was also among them!
When Peng Yeyu saw Zhang Xiaohua, his face changed greatly. When he returned to Between the Clouds and the Water, he only told her about the Immortal Dao people in Mo Chou City. How could he tell her about him and Huang Qiang?
Although he knew that there were disciples of the Fragrant Religion in Jianghu, they were all male disciples of the Rui Jin Palace. Sometimes he faintly felt that Meng's words were somewhat credible, but … he had always been secretly denying himself. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua, he knew that the unremarkable young man and woman were telling the truth. They were really disciples of the Fragrant Religion!
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the people in the hall and her eyes fell on the beautiful woman who was nearing forty years old. She saw that the beautiful woman's black hair was like clouds, her eyebrows were like black, her nose was high, and her face was sparkling like jade. She had a dignified face.
"Huh?"
Zhang Xiaohua just looked at the beautiful woman when a Divine Sense swept over her body. It went back and forth a few times!
"People of the Immortal Dao?"
Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly and thought to herself, "What Liang Cangxu said before, I thought it was an exaggeration. The Immortal Dao in this world, other than the Fragrant Religion, the Dalin Temple, and the Tenryū Sect, even the Misty School, the so-called inheritance of a large sect, does not have any experts of the Immortal Dao. And the Righteous Alliance … may not have any Immortal Dao people. Between the Clouds and the Water … how could there be an Immortal Dao cultivator?"
