Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 72 A Cup of Good Tea
The door of Azhi's room was not locked. Tang Zheng knocked on it and the door opened directly.
On the table in the middle of the room, Azhi was holding a pen and writing something. Tang Zheng thought he was writing something like "winter vacation homework" and ignored him, going straight to Ghost Grandpa.
"Are you here?" The ghost grandfather slowly opened his closed eyes.
There was no trace of sharpness in his eyes, only the kindness and compassion that was common in ordinary grandfathers.
Even with Tang Zheng's eyesight, he couldn't find anything else in his gentle smile.
"Well. I wonder if Grandpa Ghost has any advice for me?" Tang Zheng's attitude was very polite.
After all, this was a powerful character who could sweep away the powerful crossbows he had deployed like sweeping away dust with just a wave of his hand.
But his attitude made Ah Zhi grit his teeth.
After all, he had never been so friendly to Azhike!
“Oh, hehe, hehe…” Grandpa Ghost saw the murderous looks between the two of them, “My little friend, I have some good tea here! Want a cup?”
"Good tea?" Tang Zheng nodded indifferently, "Okay."
"Okay. There are not many young people nowadays who understand and love tea." Grandpa Gui personally poured him a full cup of tea.
"No, no, no, I don't understand either." Tang Zheng waved his hands modestly. All his knowledge about tea came from the teahouse missions in the game in his previous life. How could he be considered to "understand"?
However, as soon as the tea entered his mouth, his hand stopped.
wrong!
It was not the bitter taste that normal tea should have, but instead it seemed to have a medicinal fragrance!
Although the tea used to complete tasks in the previous life's game had a simulated taste, and the waiters in the teahouse served only cups of data, the simulation degree of the virtual game was very high, and Tang Zheng knew what real "good tea" should taste like!
Since we are all drinking tea, there shouldn’t be such a big difference in the standards for judging whether it is good or bad, right?
So, there must be something wrong with this cup of tea.
Tang Zheng calmed himself down.
He had been with Ah Zhi for such a long time, and he knew that Ah Zhi would never allow Ghost Grandpa to poison him, so he just quietly put down the teacup, looked at Ghost Grandpa, and asked: "What does Ghost Grandpa mean by this?"
"Azhi." Ghost Grandpa's smile was still so gentle and kind, but he didn't face Tang Zheng, but fell on Azhi who was writing. "Do you remember how much you drank? One cup? Or two cups?"
"Tsk! I only know about poison, I don't know about tea!" Azhi looked at Tang Zheng and snorted in dissatisfaction.
When Tang Zheng heard that Ghost Grandpa had given Ah Zhi this strange-tasting tea, he became even more certain that it would not harm him. He lowered his voice a few notches and asked, "What kind of tea is this?"
Grandpa Ghost laughed and said, "This is the Deep Valley Imperata produced in Tianyi Valley. This kind of tea only grows in the medicinal fields and is picked in early spring, only once a year . The entire tea field can only produce six kilograms of tea a year. People who don't drink tea or are used to drinking bad tea will not think there is anything wrong with this tea, but people who really understand tea, love tea, and are used to drinking good tea will feel uncomfortable as soon as they take a sip..."
Tang Zheng was no longer able to explain. He really, really didn't understand tea! He didn't understand it at all!
It’s just that the teahouse mission in the game is a daily mission, and he is familiar with drinking those cups of tea, so, he can be considered as someone who is used to drinking good tea, right?
However, Ghost Grandpa would not invite him to drink tea for no reason. Tang Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Since this is tea grown in the medicinal field... then Ghost Grandpa asked me to drink it because it is related to the 'blood attraction' attached to our astrology?"
“Oh, oh, oh.” Grandpa Ghost didn’t answer immediately, but just said, “Show me your horoscope.”
Faced with such an unfathomable strong man, Tang Zheng didn't have any evil thoughts. He nodded and directly raised his purple-gold constellation.
The ghost grandfather raised his head, looked over carefully, and nodded slightly as he looked.
Although it was not the first time he had seen it, the delicate balance formed by the power of the two stars, the Sun and the Moon, at such a close distance still made him look at it a few more times.
He had lived for most of his life and had seen many powerful people who introduced two life stars into the first life palace at the same time. However, he had never seen that the two kinds of star power on the constellation were not distinguished by priority, but followed each other, causing the stars to continuously rotate slowly on the constellation.
It was a pity that such a mysterious star image seemed to be haunted by a ghost, and a few extremely discordant, slightly bloody black air kept floating out...
"Ghost Grandpa?" Tang Zheng called Ghost Grandpa.
"Yeah." Ghost Grandpa smiled and looked away, "Keep drinking, drink a few more cups."
Tang Zheng looked at the teacup, picked it up and drank it all without saying anything else.
Then he poured himself two more glasses and drank them both in one gulp.
"Okay." Grandpa Ghost nodded and looked at his constellation again. "The Star Blood Guidance, which was left on you by the young master named Feng Le, can allow people with the same constellation to discover your astrological talent within a hundred steps. It is not an ordinary talent."
"Hmm..." Tang Zheng looked at the teacup in his hand.
"After drinking the Deep Valley White Grass, the pure air of the tea can dilute the blood in your body. The Qintian Sect also has the tribesmen of the Wangtian Chihou constellation. It is impossible for them to find you within a hundred steps. At least they have to be within five to ten steps!"
Tang Zheng looked at the teacup in his hand more seriously.
The distance within a hundred steps is actually very dangerous, which means that even if he and the people from the Qintian Sect are separated by a street, they will be discovered by the other party!
But a simple cup of tea can dilute the blood and energy to the point where it can only be detected within five to ten steps, which greatly reduces the danger distance. Five to ten steps is almost the distance of passing by!
Tang Zheng opened his mouth, but didn't ask the suicidal "how much?" Instead, he said, "Grandpa Ghost... I'm afraid even if you have money, you can hardly get even half an ounce of this Deep Valley White Grass. You must have treasured it for many years, right? Wouldn't it be a waste to give it to me?"
After all, he was at most a half-cheap teacher of Azhi, and he had absolutely no relationship with Ghost Grandpa.
The smile on Grandpa Ghost's face deepened: "Good tea, as long as it is given to people who like it, it is not a waste!"
Although Tang Zheng didn't know much about tea, he respected the tea spirit of tea lovers and immediately bowed: "Then I won't thank you for sharing good tea with you! In the future, if I get good tea, I will be the first to share it with you!"
“Oh, ok, ok, ok…” Grandpa Ghost said three ok words in a row, and then he touched his chin and laughed twice, “Then you must stay alive so that I can wait for your good tea.”
"Life?" When Tang Zheng heard this, he knew that the matter of Xinghuo's blood might not be over yet.
"Although the blood in your bodies has been diluted by the white grass in the deep valley, don't be too happy too soon. The real problem for Xinghuo Blood Guidance is not that you will be discovered to have killed someone within a hundred steps."
Tang Zheng said nothing and waited quietly for his next words.
Grandpa Ghost smiled and said, “I’m afraid even the people of Qintian Sect themselves don’t know how powerful the Star Hound Blood Attraction is. This kind of astrological talent, as long as it is attached to your astrological sign, can cause the star power around you to become disordered every time you attract a star… Attracting a star is originally a dangerous thing. Once the star power becomes disordered and the attraction fails, then it’s not surprising that you will be seriously injured or even die directly…”
Although Tang Zheng had not yet reached the time to light up the second life palace, he felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
Who wants to be haunted by ghosts all day long?
"Then...is there any solution?" Tang Zheng asked.
"Yes, and a lot of them." said Ghost Grandpa.
"Then what is the simplest one?" Tang Zheng was not surprised by his words. For such a strong man, there are certainly many solutions to every problem, but he may not be able to use those methods.
"Kill." Grandpa Ghost looked at Tang Zheng with a smile, "Killing all the direct relatives within three generations of the person who set the blood trap for you is of course the simplest solution."
"..." Tang Zheng stroked his forehead. What a simple and crude way to solve the problem!
But for Tang Zheng, he is not in a hurry to decide what method he should use to solve the influence of blood on the astrological sign when he strives to reach the second star.
After all, he is only one star now, and his primary target is still Lan Shaoze!
To deal with Lan Shaoze, he would need at least one-star peak star power and master all the martial arts in the first volume of "Dagger Skills". It would be best if he could also deal with his secondary equipment before he could say that he had a certain degree of confidence...
I just don’t know what actions Lan Shaoze will take and how much time he will give him!
