Chapter 9 Chapter Eight Suspected that Spring is in the Neighborhood

Xiaoqiu suddenly became a little famous person.Not only did he get a commendation, but Yong Yangcai, the chief executive of Jardine Bank, made an exception and invited him to drink tea.Jardine Bank is very big, of course there is a place for customers to drink tea. The best tea house in Jardine Bank is Cuifuge.The environment of Cuifu Pavilion is elegant and tranquil, and the tea sets, tea leaves, and tea ceremony are all very elegant. Yong Yangcai made an exception and invited Xiaoqiu to drink tea, because he was going to test Xiaoqiu.Since Qin Heng is from a family of tea merchants, he must have some experience in the tea ceremony.

This tea is not good!As long as you answer a wrong sentence and show your feet, you are not going to drink tea, but to drink blood! Xiaoqiu faces a severe test. Yong Yangcai half-closed his eyes and leaned against the coffee table in the middle.He was still wearing a navy blue robe, as if it hadn't changed in decades. If a person starts out as a boy and survives for thirty years before he gets ahead, then many of his habits will be difficult to change. For example, at this moment, he likes to half-close his eyes, slowly look at Xiao Qiu sitting in front of him, quietly observe Xiao Qiu's reaction, and figure out Xiao Qiu's psychology at the moment.He is in no hurry.

Xiaoqiu's reaction was unusually calm.A person responds calmly, if either with knowledge, or with no knowledge. It has been more than an hour since Xiaoqiu came to Cuifu Pavilion, and they have been looking at each other quietly, so quiet that they can even hear a needle drop on the ground.There was no one else in the room except the tea boy in white who was pouring tea.However, Xiaoqiu knows that not just anyone can get in, nor can anyone get out. Strength does not have to be written on the face. After a long time, Yong Yangcai said a few words: Please, please have tea. On the sandalwood carved dragon tea table in front of Xiaoqiu, there were five exquisite purple sand teacups. After burning incense, two white-clothed tea boys meticulously poured a different kind of tea into each purple sand teacup according to the order of the tea ceremony.

Five exquisite purple sand teacups, five different kinds of tea. Xiaoqiu slowly picked up the first teacup in front of him, but he didn't rush to drink it, but put it under his nose and took a deep sniff, as if he was intoxicated. After a long time, Xiaoqiu sighed sincerely: What a cup of Keemun incense!He explained: Keemun incense is a kind of Gongfu tea, the one produced in Yunnan is called Dianhong Gongfu, and the one produced in Shu is called Chuanhong Gongfu.The Keemun incense in this cup of tea is produced in the cloud-shrouded Huangshan Mountains, and it is the best of high-fragrant black teas.

Yong Yangcai's cold eyes couldn't help showing a hint of approval. Just by smelling the tea, you can know the name of the tea. It really needs some real materials. The next three cups of tea are green, so refreshing that only those who have studied the tea ceremony well can see the subtle differences between them. Xiaoqiu savored one by one carefully, aftertaste for a long time. Excuse me, Yong Yangcai asked for advice: What kind of tea are these three cups of tea? Xiaoqiu replied in a leisurely and unhurried manner: On the surface, the three cups of tea seem to be all green tea, but they are different in detail.The first cup of green tea is green in color, rich in fragrance, mellow in taste, and beautiful in shape. It should be West Lake Longjing, which is famous for its four unique features.

The second cup of green tea is so green that it turns black, and it is Pu'er with the best form and spirit. The third cup of green tea is the rarest, as light as eyebrows, rare eyebrow green tea as rare as human eyebrows. Yong Yangcai smiled and nodded involuntarily. The last cup of tea turned out to be white.Has anyone ever drank white tea?Yong Yangcai smiled like an old fox. Xiao Qiu clicked his tongue lightly, and asked a very strange question: Have you ever seen a woman's menstruation? Yong Yangcai's scorched face flushed red, and he coughed a few times as an answer.How can he admit that he is an old virgin?It's just that I haven't seen the whole body of a woman, let alone menstruation?

A woman's menstruation is dark red. Xiao Qiu explained: Sometimes when a woman is sick, she will bleed a white liquid, called leucorrhea.Tea is the same, tea has green tea, green tea, and even black tea.If there are many varieties, they will also mutate, and very few will turn white.This last cup of tea is covered with fluff and is as white as silver. It has a mellow fragrance and a long aftertaste. It is like the white peony of the tea fairy. Xiaoqiu didn't make a mistake in answering a word, she was completely like a tea merchant.Whether it is friend or foe, at least they have passed this test.

Should he breathe a sigh of relief? The test has only just begun.Four people suddenly filed in from outside the house, four giants like iron towers.As soon as they entered, they intentionally or unintentionally stood in the four corners, blocking every exit of the room. Before Xiaoqiu came, as long as he could collect all the public and non-public information about Jardine Bank, he collected as much information as possible. After coming, he obtained a lot of useful information through observation and conversation.From the appearance, demeanor, and temperament of the four people, it is easy to infer the identities of the four people.

These four are the fourth of the famous Eight King Kongs of Jardine Bank. The man sitting at the door had a murderous look on his face, wishing to kill him immediately to relieve his anger, as if everyone in the world had a grudge against him, and it seemed that Sun Ji was recovering from a serious illness and feeling a little depressed.A person who has just lost an arm is of course not pleasing to anyone.Sun Ji is just a mad dog sitting at the door, waiting for people to eat. Sitting on the east side was an imposing middle-aged man, whose bronze-colored skin couldn't be concealed by a wide robe. This was Zheng Hun, who was famous for his foreign kung fu.

Zheng Hun, thirty-seven years old.Shaolin lay disciple.The kung fu of the outer sect is superb, almost to the point of invulnerability.He shot fifty-seven times, killed twenty-four people, and missed eight times.Almost every time he misses, he is seriously injured. If a person can survive in this situation, one can imagine the blow he can bear. The one sitting on the west side is vaguely similar to Zheng Hun, but much older. This is Zheng Hong, Zheng Hun's eldest brother. Zheng Hong, fifty-one years old.Both are disciples of Shaolin laymen.One hundred and twenty-five shots were taken, and only three defeats were made. Martial arts and experience are obviously much higher than Zheng Hun's.

The last one to come in was the elephant.An elephant is not a real elephant, but a human being, as strong as an elephant.He broke a man's neck as easily as he trampled an ant.He has experienced 218 battles, big and small, with only one defeat.It is said that he encountered a mouse that time. He was sitting right behind Xiaoqiu. Cuifu Pavilion was neither too big nor too small. After four strong men came in, the whole room seemed crowded and oppressive.If four giants like iron towers are squeezed from four directions to the center at the same time, what will be the effect?Will the man in the middle be crushed into a pulp? Sun Ji, Zheng Hun, Zheng Hong, Da Xiang, their martial arts may not be top-notch, and they may not be Xiaoqiu's opponents in single combat, but their actual combat experience is very rich.With skilled killing skills and tacit cooperation, the combination of several people will have a huge advantage. What's more, there is also an unpredictable and profound Yong Yangcai. According to the rumors in Jianghu, Yong Yangcai does not know martial arts, no one has seen him make a move, at least no living person has seen it, but the eminent monk of Lingyin Temple, Master Kong, believes that Yong Yangcai is currently one of the top ten people with the best light skills and hidden weapons in the Jianghu. one. I want to see your sword, Manager Yong said politely while drinking tea: If you don't want to, you can go now, you are also a guest of Jardine Bank. I will not leave when I come, Xiaoqiu said calmly: If I really want to leave, not everyone can stop me. He untied his saber and slowly handed it over. This is a simple and ordinary sword, even a little old, so that when Yong Yangcai pulled it out, it didn't have the usual dazzling light. Yong Yangcai's half-closed eyes suddenly lit up.Even Sun Ji, who had been sullen all this time, opened his eyes wide. A famous sword doesn't have to be covered in jewels. Good sword, Yong Yangcai caressed the blade of the sword lightly, and sincerely praised: I am not an expert in swordsmanship, fortunately there is another one here. who?Divine eyes. Hearing this name, Xiaoqiu couldn't help being moved.Shenyan is a master of swordsmanship in the world, with countless swordsmen in his life, his reputation spread far and wide, and he is an authority in the industry of footwork swords.Many master swordsmiths sent their newly forged swords to him, and as long as he opened his golden mouth, it would turn stones into gold. A gust of autumn wind suddenly blew outside the pavilion, which made the woods rustle, and the fallen leaves fluttered and fell down one after another. In the autumn wind, there was a very regular sound of beeping, and a blind man appeared at the end of the path with a cane, his gray hair fluttering in the wind.When everyone saw the blind man, he was still far away, but in the blink of an eye, like a gust of autumn wind, he stood in the center of Cuifu Pavilion. The blind man was already very old, and the wrinkles on his face told the vicissitudes of his life. His silver-like white hair fluttered in the rustling autumn wind, looking indescribably desolate. What surprised everyone the most was the polite introduction by Yongda Guan: This is Mr. Shenyan, the world-famous sword master. Mr. God Eye is actually a blind man!Without eyes, what could he use to hold a sword? When Mr. Eyes enters, it's like a wolf has found its prey: there's a sword here? Yes. Famous sword?Mr. God's Eye's voice seemed hurried and excited. Yes, the world's first-class famous sword.Yong Yangcai handed over the sword while talking. Mr. God's Eye's expression became very solemn, as if he was doing a major event that required a bath, changing clothes, and burning incense to pray. He took the sword with the expression of a devout believer.He is holding the sword with both hands. Mr. Divine Eye stroked the sword slowly, very carefully and very slowly, like a master flirt gently stroking the naked body of a young girl. Could it be that Mr. God's Eye can touch a sword just by touching it? Mr. God Eye's expression became more and more serious and solemn, as if a devout believer had devoted himself to the illusory world. In the end, he showed a somewhat disappointed expression, and suddenly handed the sword back to Yong Yangcai, and walked out without looking back. Yong Yangcai hurriedly shouted: Sir, is this Tianya Sword? end of the world?Mr. Shenyan said: The end of the world that Master Iron spent his entire life casting? Yes. No, Mr. Shenyan shook his head and said with certainty: At the most critical moment when Master Iron was casting Tianya, a little spark splashed onto the sword, leaving a scar the size of a needle eye.This sword is too perfect, without a scar.Therefore, it is by no means the end of the world. Mr. Eyes left as fast as he came.When he was still saying the last sentence, his person was already at the end of the path, and disappeared in the autumn wind in the blink of an eye, leaving only the sound of the crutches on the ground gradually receding, getting lower and lower, and finally inaudible. Fortunately, this is not the end of the world.Yong Yangcai smiled: Xiaoqiu is the master of Tianya, so you must not be Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu laughed: Of course I am not. You are now our friend.You can come whenever you want, and you can leave whenever you want. The door of Jardine Bank is always open for you. Many years later, Mr. God's Eye told one of his proudest and most trusted disciples what happened that day: That day, as soon as I touched the sword, I knew it was Tianya. The scar the size of a pinhole splashed by Master Iron at the most critical moment of casting Tianya just made up for the lack of Tianya's pattern. It has been subtly integrated into the sword pattern, and ordinary people cannot see it with the naked eye.The End of the World Sword has been integrated into Master Tie's life's hard work, life's passion, and life's sustenance. Therefore, Xiangjian not only needs to be seen with the eyes, but also needs to be seen with the heart, and only the heart can feel it. At that time, I didn't say it because a master of swordsman must not only be good at swordsmanship, but also be good at people. The sword does not depend on its value, but on the person who wields it.It is the man who uses the sword, and the man is the real master of the sword. The sword is given to the hero, and Xiaoqiu is undoubtedly the best master in Tianya.
