Ghost King Landlord

Chapter 51 Sophora japonica tea

The yard seemed to have been deserted for a long time, with weeds growing all over the place, and the surrounding houses were dilapidated. Most of the doors had holes punched out by mice, and some of the door panels had even disappeared.

There are some dusty furniture in the corners of the house, some rainwater has accumulated in the broken tiles under the eaves, and there is a touch of green inside. Although it is rotten green, it is probably the only thing here that people can feel. Something alive.

Qin Guangda walked in front, seeming to be watching the flowers on horseback, but actually secretly observing the surrounding environment carefully.Zheng Xiuxiu followed behind him, with her head slightly lowered, with a nervous look on her face, and the corner of her eyes flicked back and forth from time to time.

Along the way, the two of them did not encounter any obstacles or abnormalities. Qin Guang even went to some of the rooms to look around, but found nothing.

This place has been deserted for a long time, and judging from all signs, no one has been here.But even so, Qin Guang still felt in his heart that the sudden disappearance of those students had something to do with the person hiding in this courtyard.

"It seems that no one lives here..." Zheng Xiuxiu took a peek around and said softly.

They have basically looked around here, except for some remote and small houses, they have at least taken a look at other places, but they haven't found anything special.

No matter how you look at it, this place seems to be just an ordinary yard that has been abandoned for a long time.Maybe it used to be rich and lively, but now, everything about it has been completely covered by dust in the long river of time.

Qin Guang nodded, and his gaze turned to the back of the yard. Behind these dense houses, there stood a small building, which was exactly the small building he saw before.

"Go to the backyard and have a look." Qin Guang said, and then walked along the path to the back of the yard.

Zheng Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked a few steps, followed Qin Guang, and asked softly, "Will Yunyun and the others be in that building?"

"I don't know, let's go and have a look first." Qin Guang shook his head, Zheng Xiuxiu saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions, and the two came to the backyard in silence.

There is a wall between the backyard and the front. There is an arch in the middle of the wall, and some vines grow on it. After hanging down, it looks like a curtain, dimly dividing the scenery in front and back of the yard.

With a wave of Qin Guang's hand, a strange air flow surged, separating the entwined vines to the two sides, leaving just enough space for two people to pass through.

The scene inside the wall is completely different from the outside, like two worlds.The low wall seems to have become a gap separating the spring and autumn. The outside is barren, but the inside is full of grass and trees, full of vitality.Seeing this strange scene, Zheng Xiuxiu blinked her bright eyes, with a hint of curiosity in her nervousness.

Qin Guang didn't pay attention to the strange scene around him. From the moment he stepped into the backyard, his gaze immediately shifted to the two-story building—a figure in a white robe stood quietly by the window on the upper floor of the building. , I don't know when I stood there, watching the two of them quietly.

"Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? Now that you're here, let's come up and have a seat." Suddenly, ethereal words sounded in the yard, the voice was calm and waveless, but it seemed to be a deep sigh.Voices came from all directions, and at the same time, the figure on the upper floor of the small building also disappeared by the window.

Zheng Xiuxiu recovered from the strange scenery around her, followed Qin Guang's gaze towards the second floor, but saw nothing, and frowned strangely.

Qin Guang lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a moment, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked slowly towards the small building.Zheng Xiuxiu hurriedly raised her heels, and at the same time looked at the small building in front of her curiously.

Pushing open the quaint wooden door downstairs, a "squeak" seemed to contain some special meaning, spreading in the space on the lower floor of the small building.Qin Guang casually glanced around, and the downstairs seemed very empty, with no simple tables and chairs, as if it was intended to be left unoccupied.

Qin Guang didn't linger too long, he stepped on the wooden stairs and walked upstairs.

When I walked up to the top of the stairs, a strange fragrance came to my nostrils.When Qin Guang stepped on the last step, his nostrils fluttered slightly, and he could tell that the fragrance should be some kind of floral fragrance.

"Please come in." A pair of white and delicate big feet appeared in Qin Guang's sight. He raised his head slightly and saw a layer of white petals scattered on the ground, as if the moonlight had sprinkled the ground.Among the petals on the ground, the figure he saw downstairs was standing in front of him, his expression was neither happy nor angry, but there was a gentle smile in his eyes.

Qin Guang raised his foot and stepped over the last step, standing on the ground covered with petals.When he stepped on those petals, like white and soft feathers, they seemed to be carried aside by the airflow, so he didn't hurt a single petal when he stepped down.

The man in the white robe suddenly smiled, although the range was small, but he did smile, and his eyes were obviously happy.He waved his wide cuffs lightly, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down and try the scented tea I made, you should like it."

Zheng Xiuxiu followed and walked up. Originally, she was still hesitant to step on the petals, and it would be bad to make the place dirty. Now seeing Qin Guang walk in, she no longer had such scruples.Her little feet tapped lightly on the wooden floor, and there seemed to be a breeze around her, gently blowing the petals under her feet aside.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiuxiu felt relieved, boldly took steps, and followed Qin Guang.

"Please sit down, both of you. I know you have many questions in your mind, but let's try my scented tea first." The man in white robe led the two of them and sat down at the small table. Teapot filled with tea in three wooden cups.

Zheng Xiuxiu looked at the man in front of her. Although he looked ordinary, he had a very unique temperament, giving off a gentle and refined taste similar to a Confucian scholar.Although a pair of big feet are bare, it doesn't make people feel sloppy and rude, but has a sense of freedom and dust.

For Zheng Xiuxiu, who was used to seeing violent Yin spirits, the man in front of her was undoubtedly a novel existence. She could feel that this man seemed very special.

"This is..." While Zheng Xiuxiu was observing the man in white robe, Qin Guang had already drank a cup of scented tea. He looked at the remaining tea in the cup with some doubts, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "Okay." Tea! I never expected to drink such good tea in the world!"

The white-robed man smiled faintly. There was no complacency or perfunctory in his smile, and he looked very calm.On him, there seemed to be no emotion at all, as if no matter what time, he always had such a flat look.

When Zheng Xiuxiu heard Qin Guang's sigh, she picked up the teacup in front of her curiously, lowered her head and took a sip.

The warm tea flowed through the mouth, exuding a strange and elegant fragrance of flowers, and then slowly slipped into the stomach.Zheng Xiuxiu felt the flower-scented tea enter her stomach, turning into a stream of heat to warm her stomach, but then, this stream of heat suddenly turned into a strange coolness, and she was a little surprised by the sudden change between hot and cold.

Before Zheng Xiuxiu came back to her senses, her expression suddenly changed, first she was shocked, then became unbelievable, and finally froze into a surprised and happy smile.

"My... my lord... this tea..." Zheng Xiuxiu looked at Qin Guang and stammered.

Qin Guang nodded, and said softly: "Steady your mind, adjust your breath with peace of mind, it's up to you how much you can absorb."

Zheng Xiuxiu nodded in surprise when she heard the words, it seems that she is not dreaming!Before she had time to say anything, she quickly drank the scented tea in the cup, then closed her eyes and sat cross-legged.

Seeing Zheng Xiuxiu starting to practice, Qin Guang nodded slightly, and turned his gaze to the man in white robe: "Thank you very much, this scented tea is rare even in the underworld!"

The scented tea prepared by the white-robed man contains extremely strong Yin Qi, and this Yin Qi is very special, not only extremely pure, but also contains a trace of special energy.Although it was the first time to drink this kind of scented tea, with his rich experience, Qin Guang immediately understood that this scented tea can not only improve his cultivation, but also help Yinling break through the bottleneck of cultivation!
Even he could feel the obvious improvement of Yin Qi in his body, and for Zheng Xiuxiu, a kid who has not yet reached the level of ghost officer, the benefits will undoubtedly be even greater.If she is lucky, it is not impossible to break through to the ghost officer by taking this opportunity.

"Being courteous to others, one must ask for something. If you are willing to help me, mere scented tea is nothing." The white-robed man said softly: "Although this scented tea has some peculiarities, it is only the effect when drinking it for the first time. It’s more obvious, and if you use it later, you will only have its own taste.”

"Even if only the tea itself is left, it is a rare good tea." Qin Guang glanced at the ground and said thoughtfully, "Ordinary Sophora japonica flowers can't make such scented tea."

The man in the white robe smiled slightly, and waved his sleeves lightly. The pagoda tree flowers everywhere were swept up by a gust of wind, and a few petals were flying and circling in his palm.Qin Guang raised his eyes and saw that these Sophora japonica flowers were not pure white, but had a hint of yellow in the pure white.Instead of destroying the whiteness of the petals, this color adds a touch of soft color, making the petals look less pale.

Yellow and white petals hovered over the palm of the white-robed man, gradually combining to form a flower.A few Sophora japonica flowers flew around, and then seemed to break free from the shackles, scattered one by one, and turned into petals again.

The white-robed man looked at the petals falling down in mid-air, and sighed softly: "This flower tea is brewed with petals that bloom every 500 years, and the nectar of Sophora japonica flowers for thousands of years is added, which is why it has such an effect. It's a pity . . . this is probably the last bit of this world."

The expression of the white-robed man suddenly became a little sad. Although he no longer looked calm and carefree, this melancholy expression and the slight sadness between his brows gave him another unique flavor.The two completely different flavors on his body make him equally charming.Such a man seems to be quite lethal to any woman.
