Chapter 58 Chapter 28 Tea King Hidden Valley

Mu Qingxiang walked out of the corridor very calmly. I had expected her to appear again, so I was not worried about whether something happened to her.Mu Qingxiang behaves differently from ordinary people, it is difficult to figure out the purpose of her actions, so I don't even bother to think about it.Seeing Mu Qingxiang appear, Zhao Shuai was shocked and laughed, and hurriedly said hello.I snorted, implying that Zhao Shuai would not be able to hold back when he saw a beautiful woman, and be careful, just like Mo Chao, Jiang Guohua and others, he would make a mess of things. Occasionally there was the sound of fire bursting out of the cave, and Mu Qingxiang walked straight towards us. I wanted to pretend to be as calm as her, but I couldn't hold back anymore, so I rushed to ask: "My aunt, why are you running?" Where did you go, why didn't you come out to help? Don't tell me again, these people are damned, you have no obligation to help!"

Mu Qingxiang stared at me intently, and said flatly: "No, I don't know the secrets between these people, I only know the origin of these ancient sites." "What? Do you know the origin of the cave and the blue brick corridor?" I was shocked. What does this mean? Now that I know, she must be very clear about whether the Tea King Valley is here, so why did she trick us in? . Mu Qingxiang didn't care about my questioning at all, and she said in a flat tone: "Tea King Valley is not in the mountain col, I knew this in advance. The mountain col is indeed the place where the tea kings of all dynasties set foot. Wang Ya is only one of their helpers, and Wang Ya's tomb is not here."

"Where is that?" Zhao Shuai asked impatiently. However, Mu Qingxiang acted as if she didn't hear it, and said to herself: "The tea king set up barriers to prevent others from intruding, and those poisonous needles are one of them. The real tea king valley is not in Tanggong Mountain, It’s not in Mingling either, you’ve already seen its location, think carefully about the meaning of that ancient poem.” "An ancient poem? At the head of the Tianqiao in the hidden valley of the tea king, the purple air comes from the east?" I scratched my head and thought about it, but I still couldn't come up with the answer, neither did Zhao Shuai, who didn't even remember the ancient poem up.

Mu Qingxiang generously reminded: "Do you still remember Jiang Hongyu?" I hummed hesitantly, and finally remembered one thing, Jiang Hongyu's red jade shop is purple!Jiang Hongyu probably already found out the location of the Tea King Valley, so she moved to the area near Lingxia Village instead of going to Tanggong Mountain.As the saying goes, the small hermit hides in the mountains, and the big hermit hides in the city. In fact, the real Tea King Valley is not in the mountains at all, but in the place where people live!After we entered the village, we saw a dilapidated earthen house next to the purple hut, which was said to be demolished. Could it be that earthen house is the legendary Tea King Valley?

Mu Qingxiang gave me affirmation: "You guessed right, the Tea King Valley is actually in that earthen house. The purple air coming from the east does not refer to Jiang Hongyu's purple house. In fact, it turned out to be a small purple sand pot shop there. It was moved from the east, so it means that the purple air comes from the east, and Wandianxing means that the teapots sold are sold everywhere. Zisha was discovered during the Warring States period, and it was not used on a large scale before the Ming Dynasty. To make teapots, but some people have already used it to make handicrafts. Tianqiaotou refers to the ancient road, but the ancient map is changeable, and the map you see may not be correct. In fact, the real end is in that earthen house forward."

I sat on the ground, looking up at Mu Qingxiang, I was stunned for a while, but I still asked a little angrily: "Since you know, why did you go all the way to Qingdao to find us? It's very interesting to play with us." ?” Mu Qingxiang was upright and awe-inspiring, she said: "Let's deal with the matter in the cave first, and I will tell you the whole story in detail after I get out of the mountain." Zhao Shuai and I stared at each other. Although we were dissatisfied, we did as we did.After handling it properly, we drilled out of the cave, but we didn't dig out the elixir buried in the Danchi, but just filled a bottle of spring water and left.As for the white tea, Mu Qingxiang had already found it for us, and it happened to be the first dawn after we walked out of the cave, so we picked the white tea by the way.The white tea is indeed in the mountain depression, but the quantity is not much, and it is blocked by other wild tea trees, so those who are not sharp-eyed must not find it.

When we came out of the mountain, before we reached the bamboo sea outside the mountain, Zhao Shuai couldn't help it, and immediately asked Mu Qingxiang why she did this.But Mu Qingxiang had already said it, and she didn't make it clear until she returned to the earthen house, so no matter how much Zhao Shuai pressed her, she didn't take it seriously, which made Zhao Shuai absolutely frustrated.We walked back very fast, the villagers hadn't gotten up yet, and the earthen house was dilapidated, so we slipped in smoothly. We thought that the Tsuchiya was the location of Tea King Valley in ancient times. Although the appearance is shabby, the inside is resplendent and magnificent, but we were disappointed. The courtyard of the Tsuchiya is no different from an ordinary farmyard.Zhao Shuai was extremely disappointed, and bluntly said that Mu Qingxiang played us like monkeys. This kind of ghost place is also called Tea King Valley, so anyone's yard can be called the Imperial Palace.Mu Qingxiang was not in a hurry, and led us to a corner of the small courtyard of the earthen house, where there was a wooden stake, which seemed ordinary, but I don't know why it was so mysterious.

"Would you show us what the stakes are for, chop them up and burn them?" Zhao Shuai asked angrily. I knew that Mu Qingxiang couldn't joke, so I bent over to study the stake carefully.In the corner of the small courtyard, there is no wind and rain, so the wooden pile escaped the sun and rain, and the wooden pile was coated with a layer of paint to prevent it from decaying.I pretended to knock on the stake, thinking that the stake was empty, but after I knocked it, I felt that the stake was solid.What makes me even more puzzled is that there are no engraved words, pictures, or even a mark on the wooden stakes. I really can't see anything special.

Mu Qingxiang frowned slightly, as if she was a little disappointed with my performance, she pointed out: "How thick is this stake?" I gestured and estimated, "Maybe one meter in diameter, not too thick. What does this have to do with Tea King Valley?" "Look carefully at the stake, is it the trunk of the tree or a branch?" Mu Qingxiang reminded patiently. I walked around the stake, but I couldn't tell if it was the trunk or the branches of the tree.It’s okay if it’s the trunk. After all, a trunk with a diameter of more than one meter is not rare, but if the branches are as thick as one meter and five meters, then the tree must live for at least hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.Mu Qingxiang said it was a branch, so it must be a branch. I am not as capable as her. I can tell the main branch with just a glance, and I can tell where the water comes from just by smelling it.

Seeing that I was silent, Mu Qingxiang said, "This wooden stake comes from a very old tea tree, and it may be related to the origin of the first tea king——Yang Tianling." "You said that the stake was cut from a branch of a tea tree?" I said in surprise, darling, if it's an ordinary tree species, it's fine, but if it's a tea tree, it's a big deal.The tea tree king grows to this day, and the trunk rarely exceeds 1.5 meters, and the trunk is at most two or three meters.If Yang Tianling had already found such an ancient tea tree during the Tang Dynasty, it would probably push the history of tea even further.I just don't know where Yang Tianling cut the tea tree stump. In fact, he himself is a mystery. He suddenly appeared, and then overwhelmed everyone, becoming the unique tea king. No one knows Yang Tianling's background.

"At that time, in addition to the tea ceremony, it is said that Yang Tianling also showed a tea tree stump, so he became the king of tea." Mu Qingxiang said to us, "Tang Dynasty can find such an ancient tea tree, no one can talk about it. , It’s a pity that no one knows his origin.” "You don't even know, how do we know?" I said modestly. Mu Qingxiang looked at Zhao Shuai and me, and after a short silence, she said: "Because I want to find someone to find the origin of the tea king together, but not everyone is qualified, so I put you Take it to the mountains to see if you can find Danchi and deal with those people with intricate relationships." "Miss, are you too confident?" I was furious, "Are you testing me? Well, you can test me, but I passed your test, why should I listen to you and go find tea with you?" The king's ancestor?" Mu Qingxiang is extremely confident, she is full of confidence: "You will definitely go!" "Let's not go, what's the matter?" Zhao Shuai also defended me. Mu Qingxiang's eyes were deep, and she said lightly: "You are not the first person I've looked for, the reason why I want to try you is because the previous people have all failed." I replied indifferently: "If you fail, you fail. It's none of my business. I have a lot of things to do. Who has time to play hide and seek with you." The red sun was slightly dew, the black clouds in the sky turned into orange clouds, and the small courtyard of the earthen house was rendered like a dream.Mu Qingxiang was expressionless, not being stimulated by my provocative words, she was still so calm: "Don't you want to know who I was looking for before?" "Sorry, I'm not interested in knowing, Old Zhao, let's go!" I pretended to be a Jianghu man, making a bow with both hands, and mocked Mu Qingxiang, "There will be no future!" Zhao Shuai and I were about to walk out of the earthen hut, but we heard Mu Qingxiang whisper behind me: "The person I was looking for last time is your father!" Hearing this sentence, I stopped immediately, even Zhao Shuai was stunned.I thought Mu Qingxiang was lying to me, but when I looked back, her expression was so serious, she didn't look like a liar.Although Mu Qingxiang has occasionally lied to me a few times, but in fact it can't be said to be a lie, she just has something to say.My father is indeed a bit weird. Since returning to China, not only has he buried me in contact with tea master Zhou, but also secretly dealt with several tea masters. I thought my father was unwilling to have anything to do with tea. Mu Qingxiang ignored my reaction, and she said unhurriedly: "Do you still remember the first time we met in the forest near Manlong Village? You must be wondering why a person like me would save someone, Zhao Shuai fell off the mountain, it really has nothing to do with me. I didn't want to save him, but to help you, because I already knew you at that time, but you didn't know me. Because a month before your father died, he Be with me all the time, but I promised not to reveal the truth to you for the time being, so I didn’t tell you at that time.” I was dumbfounded when I heard that the quiet courtyard of the earthen house had turned into a haunted house. My father’s whereabouts were indeed mysterious in the month before his death. I didn’t know where he went. It used to be like this a lot.Not long after my father came home, he passed away while drinking and punching. I thought he was just injured by alcohol and tobacco, so he passed away.However, my father has always seemed to have nothing to do with tea, so why did he hide from me and Mu Qingxiang to find the origin of the tea king, and he refused to confide a word to me until he died.
