Chapter 19
Chang Wuzi observed the words and expressions, without looking at what was in the box first, he asked, "Why is Yue Li unhappy?"
Zhou Lian said in his heart how ugly it is to hold such a big box, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and he said with care: "Master is wrong."
Okay.
Chang Wuzi opened the box and saw a box of medicinal herbs inside.
They were arranged in different categories, all of them were high-quality boutiques, and some of them exuded a misty streamer, which looked like they could not be easily found from the mortal world.
Zhou Lian had read books on medicinal materials in his early years, and he had memorized them at the time, but he hadn't looked them up for five or six years, and now he has forgotten most of them, and he can barely recognize some common ones.
Nourishing Qi and blood.
Chang Wuzi's face was stiff for a moment, and then he covered it up again, flipping over as if nothing had happened:
"Your uncle has a heart, and cooking a medicinal meal at night will just give you and Ah Wu a boost."
Zhou Lian felt something was wrong, frowned and said:
"Aren't you, Master, the one who was injured?" He even vomited blood.
He is not the kind of apprentice who loves to steal things from his master.
Changwuzi waved his hand indifferently:
"What is that? When you were a teacher and an apprentice, you went out to practice alone. How could you not suffer more injuries than before?"
That's what it says.After all, they were specially collected for you, so it’s a bit too much to just throw them into the pot casually like this?
Although they are senior brothers, Chang Wuzi has accepted his disciples now, and the two haven't seen each other for many years. After all, they have some birth share, and they still have to pay back the gift they received.
Therefore, after a few days, Chang Wuzi called the two apprentices over, preparing to let them send the return gift to Yun Xiechen.
As soon as Zhou Lian entered the door, he noticed the golden nanmu box on the table, and suddenly had a bad guess in his heart.
From the sleeves, bookshelves, and cabinets, Chang Wuzi collected a lot of spiritual jade, daggers, scrolls with unknown contents, and other things, and stuffed them all into that luxurious place. in the box.
Zhou Lian still had a good eye, and it was the first time he knew that his always poor-looking master had hidden so many good things.It's just that seeing his master not paying attention to landfills, for some reason, he always has the illusion that "my uncle collects rags".
Zhou Lian stood aside with his arms folded and asked:
"Master is planning to let the younger brother carry such a big box to Baiyun Temple?"
Chang Wuzi was holding a radiant bead in his hand and was about to put it in, when he heard this, he stopped and pondered for a moment:
"Why don't you carry it with Ah Wu?"
In front of Zhou Lian's eyes, he and Shen Wu carried the big box on a pole, one behind the other, or held each other with both hands, crossing the crowded street to Baiyun Temple.
Then he remembered the ugly look of him holding this box a few days ago.
This box is beautiful, but it is not suitable for being with others.
His face turned green, and he said decisively:
"This box is not heavy, and the younger brother is a big man, so he must be able to get it alone."
Shen Wu spoke at the right time:
"Why doesn't Master use the storage ring?"
Chang Wuzi leaned over to touch the box, and said wistfully:
"Your uncle's heart is good, but our small family, how can we pretend to be such a good thing?"
Since ancient times, golden nanmu has been used exclusively in royal palaces and a few temples and Taoist temples. If someone uses it without authorization, it will be a violation of the etiquette system and will be punished.
It makes sense, Shen Wu was persuaded:
In the end, the two of them still didn't carry it away, Zhou Lian paid for it himself, and hired two people to send the box of junk to Baiyun Temple.
Zhou Lian and Shen Wu stayed behind those two people, walking halfway, Shen Wu suddenly felt blessed and said:
"Master said to return this box to the uncle and put it in the storage ring, isn't it also feasible?"
Zhou Lian obviously didn't want to see him as an afterthought, so he glanced at him and said coolly:
"Mr. Shen Xiaolang is really smart."
Shen Wu also felt embarrassed for the afterthought he made: "I'm sorry."
Zhou Lian said:
"Are you deliberately trying to see me laugh?"
Shen Wu pursed his lips, and was silent for a while: "It's not intentional."
Zhou Lian's face turned pale, as if he wanted to beat him up.
The Baiyun Temple is full of incense, but only the first half is open to the outside world. Further inside is the pagoda, surrounded by a small courtyard. No one else is allowed to enter. It is deserted and deserted. Only a young boy about seven or eight years old guards the door.
Zhou Lian sent the two of them away, stared at the box, sighed, and was about to ask the little boy to come in, but the door opened from the inside.
Yun Xiechen was still dressed in a snow-white Taoist robe, with a gentle smile on his lips, he nodded slightly at them:
"The two nephews are here."
With such a bearing, he doesn't need to be too eager to deal with others, just a little softness is enough to make people feel like a spring breeze.
The box with magnificent texture is too eye-catching, Yun Xiechen naturally couldn't ignore it:
"This is?"
Seeing that Zhou Lian didn't intend to talk, Shen Wu hurriedly explained:
"This is the return gift that Master ordered us to bring to Master Uncle."
Zhou Lian couldn't count on it. With his two juniors around, how could he let Yun Xiechen take things.Shen Wu consciously went to hug the box, but Yun Xiechen stopped him with his hand, and softly told the boy standing at the door:
"torch."
The boy was obedient, obediently responded, and took the box away.
Judging by his appearance, it didn't take much effort.But he was too small, and the box was too big, Shen Wu couldn't bear to look at him, and felt a bit guilty of bullying a child.
Yun Xiechen said to the two of them:
"The two nephews come with me."
The Baiyun Pagoda is 99 stories high, with twists and turns and winding steps, and the lights on both sides are always on day and night, quiet and solemn.Yun Xiechen led the two of them up at a leisurely pace.
Probably because it is not bright enough, this place looks a little cramped, and it is extremely quiet when no one is talking, and even the time here seems to be stretched.
Shen Wu forgot the time for a moment, and just buried his head in following Yun Xiechen. After climbing for an unknown amount of time, he finally stopped on a certain floor, and then Yun Xiechen led them into a...a hardware workshop.
Because it is in the tower, the hardware workshop only opened a small window on the sunny side, and the skylight is not enough, but there are dozens of huge night pearls, which illuminate this big room brightly and spaciously. Everything is comfortable and of good quality. There is a table in the middle, made of golden nanmu, which ordinary people like them dare not use. The stuff, sitting behind them is the one they have never seen before... the current sage.
Shen Wu who saw clearly the dragon pattern embroidered on the man's clothes: "..."
Zhou Lian: "..."
The man was wearing a black uniform. He lowered his head and was fiddling with a small wooden squirrel in his hand. He raised his head when he heard the movement, first smiled at Yun Xiechen, and got up:
"Yunqing, you're back."
Yun Xiechen bowed slightly:
"His Majesty."
Zhou Lian and Shen Wu also saluted.
It was rumored that the national teacher had a deep relationship with the emperor and his ministers, and the emperor deliberately exempted him from many etiquettes to show his favor. Now it seems that it is true.
The emperor's eyes fell on Zhou Lian and the two of them:
"These two little priests must be Yun Qing's nephews, right?"
Today's single name has the word Xi, Chu Xi.People in the Tian family don't look bad.He also has a delicate face, fair skin, thinner than Yun Xiechen, the tails of his eyes droop slightly, and two pear dimples appear at the corners of his mouth when he smiles, he is so amiable that he can't catch a trace of edges and corners, he doesn't look like someone who has done more than a dozen year emperor's man.
Such an emperor with little influence could make Yun Xiechen follow his side wholeheartedly for so many years.
Yun Xiechen smiled and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty. The two of them have nothing to do today and came to look for the minister. The minister dared to bring the two of them here."
Chu Xi praised:
"Yun Qing's nephew is indeed as extraordinary as Yun Qing."
This seemed to be just a polite word, but he said it with great determination, and his eyes and tone all revealed his reliance and trust in Yun Xiechen.
Zhou Lian was at ease, but Shen Wu couldn't help but glance at Yun Xiechen, thinking, even if there were ten of them, they wouldn't be as good as this uncle's one finger.
Yun Xiechen glanced at them both with a smile, and followed Zhao Xi's words:
"I firmly believe that the two of them will definitely surpass my subordinates in the future."
Natural and proud.
Chu Xi laughed loudly:
"Then I will wait for that day."
After he finished speaking, he blinked at Zhou Lian and Shen Wu:
"Two little guys, come here, I'll show you something good."
Zhou Lian quickly turned his head and glanced at Shen Wu, but there was no major change in his expression. It was the tacit understanding of Shen Wu who had been with him for many years that he caught a trace of excitement in his eyes.
Then Chu Xi solemnly handed him the wooden squirrel he was playing with just now, flaunting:
"This is the result of my painstaking research recently."
Zhou Lian was caught off guard by this "reward" that had nothing to do with what he imagined.
Shen Wu was also stunned for a moment, took the squirrel with both hands, and looked it over carefully, he himself was born as a nobleman, and he didn't have too much awe of the emperor, he was just pretending at first, but after seeing it, he did it for real, sigh road:
"Your Majesty is really dexterous."
It turned out to be a lock.
A lock of great ingenuity and complexity.
There was still a key in the keyhole, Shen Wu looked at it, and suddenly felt blessed, and twisted the key of "Squirrel", "Squirrel" immediately moved, nodded frequently, and its big fluffy tail also shook, as if begging for mercy.
With such ingenuity, not to mention that Shen Wu has never seen it before, I am afraid that if you look at the whole ancient Yu, you will not be able to find a few.
It's just that the king of a country has painstakingly studied such things...
Zhou Lian was also attracted, but he didn't take the initiative to come over. He just stood aside and hinted at Shen Wu with his eyes.
Shen Wu: "..." Alas.
The results of his painstaking research were affirmed, and Chu Xi seemed to benefit greatly, narrowing his eyes and smiling.
Yun Xiechen seemed a little helpless on his face:
"Your Majesty made it with his own hands, don't break it, the uncle can't afford it."
Chu Xi raised his eyebrows, and when he mentioned his locks, he finally didn't look like a mediocre middle-aged man with a slightly handsome appearance. Every eyebrow exuded a sense of complacency. He waved his hand very generously, saying :
"It's okay, it's just a gadget. If you like it, I will give it to you."
After all, he thought of something, his eyes dimmed, and he broke away from the state of high spirits just now:
"It's a pity that the emperor, I can only find peace with you, Yunqing."
Yun Xiechen lowered his eyes and smiled quietly:
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? You are the master of the world, and you can't go anywhere."
Chu Xi stroked his chin and nodded in agreement:
"Too."
So he skipped this incident again, and instead showed his rabbits, cats and dogs with great interest.
It is obviously not uncommon for him to come to Baiyun Temple. In the afternoon, someone from the palace invited him back to the palace, and Yun Xiechen watched him go as usual.Zhou Lian and Shen Wu each took a cat and a squirrel and said goodbye.
After leaving the Baiyun Pagoda, a few steps away, it seems to have stepped into another world. The chaotic voices of people can't help but penetrate into the ears. It is not as clean as the place where the national teacher practiced, but it is inexplicably relaxing.
Zhou Lian's eyes seemed to be twitching, and he aimed at Shen Wu's hand one after another, and finally couldn't restrain himself, and said:
"I think that squirrel looks better."
Shen Wuxin said that I felt the same way, but he said:
"Brother, your cat is cuter."
Zhou Lian said calmly, "Since you like it, I'll exchange it with you."
Listen, how much you know how to love the young.
Shen Wu: "..."
Zhou Lian stared at him: "How?"
Shen Wu sighed helplessly, and his tone was very forced: "I also... have that intention."
The author has something to say:
Double update achieved!
Shen Wu: Today is also a day when I want to beat my senior brother violently.
Zhou Lian: I am such a good brother.
good time
