[Magic Dao Patriarch·Chen Qingling] Lan's Night Hunting Notes

Chapter 80

Lanling

Tavern

"Ah!"

"boom!"

The proprietress of the tavern, who was holding a jar of wine, looked up and saw a handsome white-haired Taoist head bumping into a pillar at the entrance of her tavern, and quickly put down the wine jar with an "ouch", "Is this Taoist alright?"

Take her to the Taoist priest, only to find that the Taoist priest's eyes were covered with cloth and he was holding a cane in his hand, so he quickly called a buddy to help the Taoist priest, "Daoist priest, come here, be careful, there is a threshold , okay, come, sit down." I deliberately chose a quiet seat for the Taoist priest to sit down.

The Taoist put the cane and the guqin aside, and smiled nicely, "It's all right, it's all because I was careless, Achoo!" The Taoist raised his hand to cover his nose, "What is this smell? Why is it a bit pungent?"

The proprietress smiled and said: "This is the unique spice of our Lanling Jin family. At this time of the year, every household will sprinkle this spice in front of their homes, which means good health every year. People from other places will not be used to it at first. The smell, but you will get used to it slowly."

The Taoist pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Why haven't I heard him say that before?"

The proprietress' ears were sharp, and when she heard what the Taoist said, she immediately smiled, "How long ago did this Taoist priest hear it from a friend?" Cultivators have always maintained their appearance, and the proprietress can't tell his age, but after listening to him, immediately Speculate on a time, "Is it 15 years ago?"

The Taoist was puzzled, "Miss Boss, how do you know?"

The proprietress simply sat down and asked the staff to serve the unique peony tears in Hulanling, "Because this spice was concocted by our master Jin 15 years ago, and it is called 'fragrance'."

Taoist: "???"

The Taoist touched his ears, "What's the name of this spice?"

The proprietress couldn't help covering her lips and laughing, "Just one word, fragrant!"

The Taoist was silent, and suddenly laughed, "It's really, a good name." Sure enough, it's still a useless name, Miss.

The proprietress also laughed, "Our Sect Master Jin has always been named like this, um, plain and unpretentious." She took the Peony Tears handed over by the waiter and poured wine for the Taoist chief, "This is my unique Peony Tears in Lanling. Long taste."

The Taoist took the wine, raised his hand, lowered his head and took a sip, still as light as water, he put down the glass with a smile, "It's delicious, it's the wine my friend recommended to me."

The proprietress nodded proudly, "It's natural." She drank the wine in one gulp and put down the glass, "The appearance of the fragrance must start from 15 years ago."

The Taoist was curious, "What happened to the Heavenly Punishment of Kyushu in the first month?"

"That's right!" The proprietress poured herself another glass of wine, holding the glass with her white fingers, but she didn't drink. She moved her eyes out of the window, and the street outside the window was full of people, noisy and lively.

The proprietress was stunned for a while, "I am ashamed to say that I was struck by lightning 15 years ago," she stretched out her hand and drew a number, "Two thunders from the sky. One punished me regardless of right and wrong, and wronged many innocent people." People. One punishes me for my bad karma, and I don’t know the reason of the matter but I talk about it like other people.”

The Taoist did not underestimate the proprietress because of this, "People are not sages, who can do nothing? Now that the proprietress can talk to me, I think I have let go."

The proprietress rubbed her hair a little embarrassedly, "I did let it go, but it was more because almost all the people in the Kyushu continent were punished by heaven, so it's not too bad for me to be in it, and I survived anyway. Back then, many people were hacked to death, even their souls were smashed to pieces..." Speaking of what happened back then, the proprietress couldn't help shivering. The fear of God's punishment was still indelible, she quickly drank a sip of wine to suppress the fear in her heart.

The Taoist heard the movement of the proprietress, and kindly poured a glass of wine for the proprietress, "Take a break."

The proprietress came back to her senses and smiled, "Actually, as long as you don't do evil, you don't have to worry about being punished by heaven. Back then, although we knew that we deserved to be punished, but...well, after all, we saw so many things in one night. It is still unacceptable for people to be hacked to death."

The proprietress recalled the dark days when she woke up from time to time for fear of being struck by lightning, "Even if we knew that those people were innocent, how could we not be afraid? We dare not go out, talk to people, or even sleep, because we are afraid of being alone. Accidentally, I was struck by lightning. Just three months later, when we were about to go crazy, it was our Jin Zongzhu who ordered someone to drag us out of the room." Mentioning Jin Zongzhu in her mouth, the proprietress instantly relaxed Come down, Yanyan looked out the window with a smile.

"15 years ago, King Jin was still a child, and the Lanling Jin family was undergoing great changes, but he still led his subordinates, kicked open the door of our room, and dragged us frightened people one by one. After leaving the room, he told us that all the unforgivable sinners have been struck dead by lightning, and those who are still alive, it means that the sin does not deserve to die, so they must live on, and those who deserve atonement should atone for their sins. Those who should be reformed should be reformed, and those who should do good deeds should do good deeds instead of staying in the room and not daring to come out. Heaven punished us, but it also gave us a chance to reform, and what we can do is to be good live."

The smile on the proprietress's lips couldn't be erased, "Sect Master Jin also said that he was struck by lightning because he was arrogant and bullying in the past, so he wanted to correct it, so he will correct it with us and live a good life together."

As she said that, the proprietress suddenly raised her hand and wiped her eyes, "I looked at Jin Zongzhu at that time, it was really funny and uncomfortable, we all know that he just found out that Lianfang Zun was the murderer who killed his own father, better The immortal chiefs are all targeting the Lanling Jin Sect, and there are many people in the Lanling Jin Sect who are dissatisfied with Jin Zongzhu's appointment. Even if Tiandao kills many bad people with lightning, Jin Zongzhu still has to face many difficulties. However, our Jin Zongzhu But he abruptly dragged us out of the room and told us that we must live and live a good life, never mentioning his pain."

"We were afraid of the dark night, so he distributed all the luminous pearls on Jinlin Terrace to us, making Lanling night like day; we were afraid of the smell that was scorched by lightning, so he developed incense and diffused it all over the place every day. Lanling, let us not smell the burning smell; we are afraid of ghosts and evil spirits, so he ordered the disciples of the Lanling Jin family to patrol every day and night to keep us safe."

"Sovereign Kim did it, he saved us."

The Taoist listened silently to the proprietress's narration, and suddenly heard cheers and applause from the street, and the tips of his ears moved, "Did something happen outside?"

"Sovereign Jin sent people to distribute incense." The proprietress also stood up, leaned out of the window, and called out to the team of Jin's children who were distributing incense boxes from the crowd, "Xiao Xianchang, I have a foreigner here, please send me more." A box of incense!"

A disciple of the Lanling Jin family with a little cinnabar between his brows poked his head out from the line, and saw a strange Taoist priest through the window of the tavern, so he nodded, "Miss proprietress, it's ready." The box was thrown at the proprietress.

The proprietress raised her hand, and the two boxes fell into her hands lightly and lightly, obviously because the Jin's disciple cast a spell on the boxes.The proprietress smiled and waved a handkerchief to send them away, then returned to her seat, put one of the boxes on the table, and pushed it to the Taoist priest, "Taoist priest, take it."

The Taoist stretched out his hand, rubbed his fingertips on the box for a moment, shook his head and laughed, "The pattern is Venus Snow Wave White Peony...it's still so gaudy."

The lady proprietress blinked, "The white peony of Jinxingxuelang is the family emblem of the Lanling Jin clan, it's pretty, and it's not fancy at all."

The Taoist asked, "Really?"

"... Cough," the proprietress looked at the golden incense box in her hand, her guilty eyes fluttered, "It seems that there may be a little bit of gaudy."

The Taoist held his forehead and smiled, "Thank you, I like this incense box very much." But... the Taoist knocked on the incense box with his fingers, "Madam, tell the truth, the old lady... Jin Zongzhu, did he directly put the scented spices into the box?" Are they all mixed together to become this box of incense?"

The proprietress covered her lips, nodded with a smile, "Yes, this incense will become our specialty in Lanling, and we asked for it on our own initiative. Our Sect Master Jin had no choice but to name the incense."

The Taoist laughed, "I never expected that the Lanling Jin Sect would become what it is now...but it's not bad."

The proprietress was also a little emotional, recalling the bad reputation of the Lanling Jin Sect among the people 15 years ago, and thinking about the Lanling Jin Sect enjoying the joy with the people now, she smiled sincerely, "We all respect the King Sect Master."

"Then I'm relieved." The Taoist put away the incense box, stood up, carried the guqin on his back, and picked up his cane, "Madam, I'm leaving."

The proprietress was slightly startled, "Why did you leave, Daoist? Is it because the shop didn't take good care of it?"

"No." The Taoist smiled and shook his head, "I already know that the old man is well, so I can go."

The proprietress had no choice but to see the Taoist out of the tavern, and stood at the door to watch the Taoist slowly blend into the crowd and drift away.

"Boss lady!"

The young man from the Jin family who gave the proprietress the incense box came out from the side, and looked curiously at the back of the white-haired Taoist, "Madam proprietress, who is that Taoist priest?"

The proprietress smiled, "I don't know, but he seems to be looking for friends. Hey, why did you distribute the incense boxes a few days earlier this year?"

The young man of the Jin family was still holding the candied haws given by the old man who sold candied haws, and biting a hawthorn, "Well, the suzerain uncle is going to attend Hanguang Lord's abdication ceremony, and the suzerain uncle wants to go to Gusu a few days earlier, help me Uncle Ling set up the venue, and he will take us there for a long time."

"Really? That's great," the proprietress smiled, "Thanks to Mr. Hanguang all these years, it's a pity that Mr. Hanguang has abdicated now."

The young man from the Jin family shook his head, "Hanguang-Jun has long since wanted to be the Immortal Governor, and the position of Immortal Governor has made him unable to travel around with Senior Wei to hunt at night." Biting another hawthorn, he spoke vaguely. He muttered, "My father is also, every day he makes a fuss about not being the deputy suzerain of the Jin family, but every time the suzerain uncle has something to do, he is not the first to rush to help solve the problem, alas, is this why you should not be careless when you are young?" Bullying, because you don't know if you will become a good brother and subordinate of the other party when you grow up?"

The proprietress glanced at the young man of the Jin family who was sighing like a little adult, and shook her head and laughed, "Did you come here at the order of Sect Master Jin? Sect Master Jin wants Peony to cry again?"

"Yes," the young man of the Jin family nodded, "The suzerain uncle wants ten altars of peony tears. In Lanling, the peony tears from your house are the most authentic. But the suzerain uncle said that he wants your peony tears, and he has to trouble the landlady." You sent the wine to Jinlintai before the day after tomorrow. Now I will take the pot of peony tears back."

The proprietress was curious, "Does Sovereign Jin have friends here?" In the past 15 years, Sovereign Jin often sent people to her tavern to buy Peony Tears.But the proprietress learned from the Jin family's disciples that those peony tears never entered Jin's stomach, but were distributed to Jin's disciples after a while.This time, why did you suddenly ask for a pot of peony tears first?

The young man of the Jin family didn't know the reason, "I don't know, but every time the suzerain uncle asked for peony tears, he distributed them to the clansmen. He had never drunk alcohol. Today he suddenly asked me to bring a pot of peony tears back to Jinlintai... "The Jin family boy tilted his head, "Is there someone who can drink with the suzerain uncle?"
