Tonni asked curiously: "Isn't it?" Tanis Ka was speechless, glared at her and said: "Just wait and see." After speaking, he turned his head and looked around, saw the shopkeeper standing at the corner of the room behind the counter doing accounts, he immediately pulled Xiao Huan and walked over. The shopkeeper felt someone was walking in front of him, he raised his head and was about to greet, suddenly he was startled, a surprised expression appeared on his face.
Tanis Ka smiled, he looked like a celestial being, very much like a Daoist master, said: "Shopkeeper Wang, do you still remember me?" That shopkeeper Wang cried out in surprise, actually ran out from behind the counter, his face extremely respectful and cautious, his expression was even more pleasantly surprised, making Xiao Huan at the side dumbstruck. He said: "Aiya! It's you, old immortal! Why are you here? Ai! This, this, this has been thirty years! I have always missed you! "
Tanis Ka smiled, his temperament was outstanding, he lightly brushed the dust on his clothes, said: "I am not a common person, these years I have been traveling around the world, even went to famous mountains and fairyland, visited celestials, absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, how could I have time to come here?" Tonni fell to the ground, but Shopkeeper Wang looked like he believed it, nodded: "Yes, yes, old immortal, of course you are different from us common people."
Then he asked Tanis Ka and Tonni to sit at a clean table, hurriedly called the waiter to serve the best tea. Tanis Ka smiled, looked around, said: "Seems like these years, your business must be doing well!" Shopkeeper Wang respectfully said: "Yes, thanks to you."
Tanis Ka coughed, said: "This time I came here, I want to leave the Eastern Sea to visit a friend, I remembered that I have a predestined relationship with you, so I came to have a look. Then I'll stay here tonight! " Shopkeeper Wang nodded, said: "Of course, you must give me face, I was planning to let my wife and children come to visit you!"
Tanis Ka laughed, put his hand into his bosom, said: "Then how much does one night cost......" Manager Wang immediately shook his head, said: "Look at what you are saying, you came to my place, I can't wait to come, how can I take your money?" Tanis Ka's hand was still in his bosom, shook his head and said: "Ai! Shopkeeper Wang, I know I gave you a few pointers back then, but I can't break the rules when you're doing business … "
Shopkeeper Wang was a little agitated and said, "Old Immortal, look at this. If it wasn't for you pointing out the right path and letting me …" At this point, he suddenly looked around and lowered his voice, "If it wasn't for you letting me plant the Tree of Wealth in the 'Dragon Cave of the Eastern Sea', how could I have made money for thirty years? You're here to stay. If I still take your money, I'll be struck by lightning! " Tanis Ka smiled and took out his hand, said: "If so, it would be impolite of me to refuse."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and chatted for a while. The waiter came back and said the room was prepared. Shopkeeper Wang stood up and personally escorted Tanis Ka and Xiao Huan to the room. Along the way to the back hall, the building was built strangely, three storeys high but hexagonal in shape, in the middle there was a big empty courtyard, paved with green stone slabs.
Maybe because of the long years, green grass could be seen everywhere in the cracks of the stones. At the center, there was a lone birch tree, but its branches and leaves were withered and bony. Shopkeeper Wang escorted them to a secluded room on the third floor, sat with them for a while, then left. Before he left, he promised to invite old immortal for a big meal at night and so on.
Old immortal of course made excuses, said he had attained Dao for many years and had not been involved in the affairs of the mortal world for a long time. But Shopkeeper Wang was cordial and sincere, in the end, old immortal reluctantly agreed because of his granddaughter Xiao Huan.
After Shopkeeper Wang left, Xiao Huan closed the door, leaving only Tanis Ka and her in the room. Tanis Ka laughed, said: "So what?" Xiao Huan asked: "Did you really want to pay him? What if he really took your money? "Tanis Ka righteously said:" So what? I, Tanis Ka, am an enlightened immortal, why would I care about those worldly possessions? "
Xiao Huan snorted, said: "Don't give me that, you think I don't know? You have no money in your pocket! "Tanis Ka was shocked, said:" What did you say? " Xiao Huan said, "The money you have on you is divided into three parts, one is hidden on your belt, one is in your boot, and the last one is hidden in your 'Immortal Guides the Way' cloth gown, you think I don't know? You don't even have a penny in your pocket. "
Tanis Ka was startled, his face blushed, said: "You little devil, how do you know everything." Xiao Huan glared at him, said: "What did you lie to him thirty years ago?" Tanis Ka angrily said: "Nonsense, when did I lie to him?" Xiao Huan snorted, said: "Don't give me that, East Sea Dragon Cave is the source of the sea, the spirit realm of heaven and earth, it is definitely under the sea, how can it be in the mortal world? Your words can only deceive honest people like Shopkeeper Wang. "
Tanis Ka smiled embarrassedly, but then he sighed, with a sense of vicissitudes of life and desolation. Xiao Huan frowned, said: "What is it?" Tanis Ka was silent for a moment, said: "Actually, this is related to your father." Xiao Huan was surprised, said: "My father? Didn't he pass away twenty years ago? "
Tanis Ka nodded, said: "Thirty years ago, I brought your father who was still a teenager to Chang He city. Although he was young, but just like you, he was really talented in physiognomy. At that time, Shopkeeper Wang was only a waiter in a common inn, but your father said he had a good physiognomy, broad and flat forehead, square face without edges, big eyes without hooks, a peaceful life, can make a fortune safely. So I … "Speaking to this point, he laughed and continued," I found a time and secretly gave him some pointers. I said that as long as he planted a white birch tree on the Eastern Sea's dragon cave, with a 'Fa' character, he would certainly have good fortune. So... "
Xiao Huan continued: "So he did as you said, and really made a fortune, opened this big inn, business is booming, he thought that it was all because of your advice, right?"
Tanis Ka laughed. Xiao Huan glanced at him, said: "But I am curious, you told him about the East Sea dragon cave, where is it?" Tanis YiXian raised his brows, smiled and said: "You come here." Then he pulled her to the window, pointed down, said: "Isn't that it?"
Xiao Huan was shocked, looked down and saw that he was pointing at that half-dead birch tree, asked in surprise, "It's here? How come this tree looks half dead? "Tanis Ka said:" Nonsense, if your tree is planted on green stone, can it live well? "Xiao Huan was speechless.
Tanis Ka looked at the sky leisurely, said: "Today's sky is so gloomy, I'm afraid it is going to rain tonight." The night was getting darker. It began to rain in the evening. Even when everything was quiet, it still had no intention of stopping. Bilu stayed in the upper room of the third floor. Shaw Danon and Onara stayed in the lowest floor. After the rain, the air was a bit moist.
Shaw Danon tossed and turned, could not fall asleep. But there was a very obvious reason. Stone was asleep, but that rough and strong man's snores actually matched his figure extremely well. Even if it couldn't be said to be world-shaking, it still made this bed rumble faintly.
Shaw Danon sighed, sat up and put on his clothes. He sat in the darkness for a while, then opened the door and walked out. In the dark night, the yard he was in was also bottomless. He didn't know where the dim light came from, but it brought about a faint light that allowed him to see the faint shadow of a white birch tree standing in the rain in the depths of the courtyard.
He raised his head, looked at the sky. Took a deep breath. The cool and slightly cold air rushed into his chest. Even though he was standing in the corridor, the wind outside had sent thin strands of rain into his face. He turned around and closed the door behind him. Then, he strolled along the circular corridor. The night was deep, the wind was howling, the rain was heavy.
The rain fell from the sky, hit on the green stone of the yard, splashed the water. Between the roof of the hallway, the rain gathered into a stream, gently flowed down, like a small waterfall. Along the way, it was like he was walking in a deep and quiet water cave.
Also like, not long ago, in the young man's memory, there was a night like this- night! In the unknown place in the darkness, there was a low sigh! The wind blew past, and with a "woo" sound, the rain that filled the sky also slanted just like that. Shaw Danon's clothes were wet in a few places, but he did not care, only looked ahead in surprise.
In the wind and rain, someone was holding an umbrella, quietly standing under the tree in the rain. Her eyes were like water, moving, as if she heard something, felt something, that woman turned her head. The sky was silent, the wind and rain were silent. He and the woman looked at each other in silence. The wind and rain, was still blowing, falling......
