Chapter 953

Qi Nanshan thought for a moment and said, "I don't see anything wrong, but we should send a few people to scout first. We will follow behind slowly. Even if there are problems, as long as we don't meet any mutated rune beasts like the Earth Dragon, there won't be any danger."

Luo Jie nodded, "The older you are, the more careful you are. Haha, let's go."

Qi Nanshan said, "Little Feng, take two rune warriors with you … If there is danger, retreat immediately. Don't risk your life!"

Little Feng agreed and took the two rune warriors with him to the pond.

Guo Shier supported Luo Jie, chatting and laughing along the way. The old man enjoyed his disciple's filial piety. He said cheerfully, "Shier, we should be more relaxed during this time. You must seize the time to study. Don't neglect your homework."

Guo Shier said, "Master, I know. Don't worry."

Luo Jie knew that his disciple was extremely hardworking. Whenever he stopped to rest, he would be reading a book. He smiled, "When you become a rune master, your strength will be enough to protect yourself. You can't do it now. Hmm, I will make a few more runes for you in the future to increase your strength."

"Master, we need to find a way to get some horses. We can't go far on foot. If there is danger, we won't even have time to escape."

Luo Jie nodded, "Shier, let's cross this mountain range first. There shouldn't be any horses here."

Little Feng and the others quickly returned and said, "Old man, there is no sign of danger. The pond is safe!"

Qi Nanshan shouted, "Everyone walk faster. Today we will rest by the pond, eat, and replenish water." Everyone happily agreed and quickly rushed to the pond.

The pond was not big. There was a forest around it. A stream flowed into it and flowed out from the other side. Because it was running water, the water was very clear. Qi Nanshan was the first to arrive. He took a sip of water and said, "There is no problem with the water. You can drink it." He raised his head and said loudly, "No bathing. Replenish water first, then bathe!"

Chen Hong had already rushed to the edge of the pond and almost jumped in. Hearing this, she couldn't help but blush. She quickly took out a water bag to collect water.

Everyone had at least two water bags. Most of them could hold one cubic meter of water. Guo Shier sighed at the power of the Hidden Talisman. With the Hidden Talisman, a water bag could hold a lot of water. If they used it sparingly, it could last for two months. It was very convenient.

Everyone lined up and squatted by the pond, sinking their water bags into the water. In a moment, the water level in the pond dropped at least one foot.

Suddenly, Chen Hong's hand shook. Guo Shi 'er was right next to her and asked, "What's wrong?" Chen Hong pointed at the grass near the pond and said, "That … that's a small path?"

Qi Nanshan, who was standing not far from the two of them, was also startled when he heard this. He leapt up, and in a few steps, arrived at the bushes. He observed carefully and said, "That's right, it's a small path, and there are human footprints. It's not made by wild beasts!"

Luo Jie also rushed over. Guo Guo was surprised.'t Chen 'with him. Chen. "Shan." Soon, most of the people gathered at the side of the path.

Luo Jie agreed, "Yes, it's a person."

"Yes, it's a person." Luo Jie agreed. "Let's follow the path and see who lives here. Everyone, be alert, but don't offend anyone. Those who can survive in the secret territory are not simple. I don't want to get into trouble for no reason. "

"I'll go with the old man. You stay here and wait. Luo Zhan, you'll be in charge," Qi Nanshan said. "Feng, take a talisman warrior and follow us."

"I want to go too!" Guo Shier raised his hand. He was very curious and it was safe to stay with his master.

"Yes, Shier, come too," Luo Jie said. Guo Shier quickly ran to his side. It felt good to be protected. Even though he had lived three lives, he liked this feeling.

The path extended from the pond into the woods. Through the woods, a stone wall appeared. They continued to walk along the stone wall. Soon, they saw a crack in the stone wall. The path disappeared into the crack. Feng quickly disappeared into the crack. After a while, he poked his head out and waved, "It's not dangerous. Come in!"

They entered the crack. Not far away, there was a valley. After a few steps, Luo Jie stopped and asked, "Is that a house?"

Guo Shier saw a roof. It was a thatched roof. "It's a thatched hut!"

Soon, everyone could clearly see the simple thatched hut. There was a bamboo fence around the thatched hut, and a group of chicks were chirping in search of food. It felt like they had arrived at a paradise.

Qi Nanshan stood outside the bamboo fence and asked, "Is anyone here?"

A voice came from the thatched hut, "Come in. Who are you?" A person came out of the hut.

It was a handsome young man. He looked a little weak. His face was very soft. His eyes were deep and calm. They didn't look like the eyes of a young man. There was no passion or passion in them. Instead, there was reason and wisdom. It was a very strange feeling. He wore a grey robe with a light yellow ribbon tied around his waist.

Luo Jie said, "Sorry to disturb you. We were just passing by. Hehe, it was fate that brought us together. That's why we came to visit."

The man smiled and said, "The thatched hut is simple. If you are not afraid of being neglected, please come in and have a cup of tea."

Guo Shier's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen anyone drink tea in the North Fu Men. No one had even mentioned tea. In this secret territory, a young man said he would treat everyone to a cup of tea. Guo Shier was a little excited. How did this person know about tea?

Luo Jie cupped his hands and said, "Sorry to disturb you." They followed the young man into the thatched hut. Once inside, it was a completely different world. The outside looked like a simple thatched hut, but the inside was completely different. The floor was made of white jade, and the walls were white. The area was also very large. In the middle of the hut was a large piece of animal skin with a white jade table on it.

The man smiled and invited everyone to sit down. He said, "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Li Ran."

Luo Jie also introduced himself. Li Ran was obviously very interested in Guo Shier. He said, "Shier is only nine years old? Hmm, he's very talented. "

Li Ran wiped the white jade table and a glass tea set appeared. It was similar to the tea sets Guo Shier had seen in his previous life. There were six cups in a pot. Luo Jie had never seen this kind of tea set before. He asked, "What is this? It's very exquisite. "

Guo Shier said, "This is a tea set. It's a tool for drinking tea."

Li Ran said in surprise, "You know about tea sets?" He took out a piece of tea and asked, "Do you know what tea this is?"

Guo Shier took it, put it under his nose and sniffed it. He said, "This should be fermented tea — black tea. Am I right?"

Li Ran was even more curious. He said, "Yes, this is black tea. This is Andun black tea. Haha, I didn't expect to meet a little tea friend. Since you know what tea this is, do you know how to make tea?"

In his previous life, Guo Shier was a tea guest. Although he was not very good at it, he still knew the ordinary methods. He took out a piece of tea, rinsed it with boiling water, and poured the water away. This was washing the tea to remove the impurities and bitterness of the tea. Then he calmly poured the tea into the boiling water. After soaking it for a while, he poured the tea into the cup. He said with a smile, "Well, haha, this is how I know how to make tea."

Li Ran said with a smile, "Not bad. You look good. Come, have a drink." He picked up a cup and gestured to everyone.

Guo Shier was a tea lover in his previous life. He was not modest. He picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. He smacked his lips and said in surprise, "This tea is really good. There is a hint of orchid fragrance … The taste is not bad either. It's mellow and sweet, and the tea color is bright red. It's really good …"

Li Ran was extremely surprised. Only an old tea guest could say such words. Luo Jie and the others took a sip. Their expressions were very strange. It was obvious that they had never touched tea before. And the intoxicated expression on Guo Shier's face was definitely not faked. It was joy from the bottom of his heart.

Guo Shier asked, "Brother Li, do you have any other tea?"

Li Ran couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Li? Haha, I've lived for almost six hundred years. It's interesting to be called big brother by a nine-year-old kid … Well, I'll recognize you as my little brother. Who asked you to be a little tea friend? "

Luo Jie and the others were stunned. Six hundred years! This was too scary.

Guo Shier did not believe it at all. He said, "Brother Li, don't joke around. You are much younger than my master. How could you have lived for six hundred years …"

But Luo Jie and Qi Nanshan believed it. They knew that there were mysterious masters living in seclusion in the Secret Territory. They rarely appeared in front of people. Even if they did, people would not recognize them. This person must be a master living in seclusion.

Luo Jie said, "Shier, don't be rude."

Li Ran waved her hand indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter, this little guy is very interesting. I have a lot of tea. Can you recognize them? "He waved his hand and three silver cans appeared. It was best to use silver or tin cans to seal tea. In fact, it was best to use gold cans. But gold was too extravagant.

Guo Shier picked up a silver can. After opening it, he found that the inner layer was gilded. He smelled it and said in surprise, "Haha, oolong tea? That's right, oolong … no, hmm, I'm not sure … but, it must be oolong tea. "

Li Ran stared at Guo Shier and said, "You know oolong tea. Haha, this is beyond my expectations … I don't need to look at the others. I know you will recognize it."

Guo Shier was puzzled. "Is this person from my previous life? Is he from my hometown?" He did not dare to ask. He did not want to ask. Li Ran did not say anything. He looked at Guo Shier thoughtfully. He became closer to Guo Shier.

Luo Jie did not care why Guo Shier knew so much about tea. He said, "Li Ran …" For a moment, he did not know how to address Li Ran.

Li Ran was very free and easy. He said, "Just call me Li Ran."

Luo Jie smiled and asked, "Li Ran, may I ask … where is this mountain range?"

Li Ran smiled and said, "You came from the Land of Death? Your luck is not bad. "
