C48
Cardinal left the Wang Family Town and continued on his way to Mount Hua.
It was now almost July, and in the past few days, the Cardinal had walked quite a distance. In the end, it was very hot in July, and the sun seemed to be in the mood as it hung in the sky all day long, giving off its own heat and radiance.
Cardinal did not hate the feeling of the sun shining down on all living beings. He also liked the warmth brought by the sun and the light brought by it. However, at this moment, Cardinal still felt that if the sun was too strong, it would lose its original appearance. In this moment, the warmth of the sun was nothing but a scorching heat that caused one's heart to be distracted.
Under this kind of dry and hot infection, Cardinal felt somewhat irritated in his heart.
Cardinal was walking on the road, one step at a time. Although he possessed a lightness skill, he was still moving forward like a normal person.
Drops of sweat dripped down.
This was not the first time he had been drenched in sweat. He remembered that when he had collected wheat with his master, it had been like this as well, and then his master would say, "Sweating, sweat for the sake of living, the truth of all things, every time you sweated, it was all evidence that you existed."
Cardinal previously did not understand, and still did not understand. He only knew that at that time, he was very tired, and it was also very hot. His back burned with the light of the sky, but it was a pity that summer was long. The master said that even though the sun was high, he still hoped that the harvest would be better, and that was the summer for the peasants.
As he walked, he thought back to the past. He realized that he was actually a very emotional person, and also someone who was nostalgic. He would always remember the things that happened in the past, even if they were forgotten by others. He didn't know if this had something to do with his master, because his master was such a person as well.
Cardinal Cheng recalled the situation he had been in a few days ago, as well as the members of the White Deer Institute, Nie Laihong and Yao Wei.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered something his master had said.
Only half a bucket of water likes to show off. A bottle of water didn't make a sound, and the sound of half a bottle of water clanging echoed in the air.
Cardinal once again burst into laughter. A few days ago, he had been discussing poetry in front of Hu Dianyi and the others. He was truly like that half bucket of water, unavoidably like someone who was trying to make a joke out of himself.
Cardinal Cheng took out his geography map and looked. Ahead of him, he saw a small town. It was Peace Town.
On the way to Mount Hua, there are three towns, a forest, a stream and three villages.
As long as you are not in a hurry to go to Mount Hua, you can go for a walk.
Cardinal Cheng, who was under the scorching sun, dragged his tired steps as he thought to himself, "If I had a sip of clear spring water at this time, that would be the happiest thing in my life."
After walking for another few miles, he saw a refreshing tea house by the side of the road.
When Cardinal saw the teahouse, because it was extremely hot, he had already planned to rest for a long time. At that moment, he felt as if he was flying, and his footsteps became a bit faster. He hurriedly said, "Boss, give me a pot of green tea."
"Alright." The owner was busy making tea behind the stall. He didn't even raise his head.
There weren't many people in the town, but since they were close to Luoyang, they had some business.
Unlike those popular teahouses, or those deserted small mountain restaurants, nearby towns and cities, pedestrians passed by every day, and different people would come to the tea house and drink a cup or two of tea every day.
It was the end of June and the beginning of July. The weather was hot and the business of the tea house was getting better.
After he sat down, he began to survey the entire tea house.
It was a simple little wooden shed, not too big or small. There were four to five tables and chairs, no more and no less. The business of the eight to nine guests was neither good nor bad.
He quietly waited for the tea and also began to listen to the chatter of the people around him.
A few people at a table said, "Have you heard? Recently, the Flower Harvester has become active again. I remember that there was once a Flower Harvester in the Jianghu. However, he has disappeared for a few years, but now, there is one."
"Sigh, I've heard that this Flower Harvester bandit is truly devoid of conscience. In the past few months, many people have been plagued by this, and some more unyielding women even committed suicide because of this." Another person said.
"Damn it, the Flower Harvester will die a horrible death!" The other person was indignant.
"A few days ago, a few people from Yanzhi Village outside Luoyang City suffered … Sigh, this rapist, her luck with women is really not shallow. " Another person sighed.
"Your luck with women is not shallow? How much harm would a momentary joy do? [A lady from a noble family is going to be violated by such a beast. Let's not even talk about the physical injuries, even the trauma on her soul is so huge!] The other person was so excited that he spilled some of the tea on the table.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you all heard of it?" The Divine Monk of the Western Regions has left the Western Regions. " One of them changed the topic.
"What is the monk from the Western Regions doing here? This matter, I feel that it's not that simple."
Another person said, "Who needs you to say that? Otherwise, why would they run to the Central Plains when they were far away in the Western Regions? Could it be that they are going to Luoyang this time? "
As the several people chattered, the Cardinal listened attentively to the details. However, he did not inquire further and only quietly listened.
"I don't know if he's going to Luoyang or not, but I heard that it seems like the God Monk is coming to have a showdown with that loner Tian Ya, the Tyrant Blade Du Cat."
"Heh, this is going to be a good show. Ba Dao and the monk are fighting to the death, and just thinking about it makes me excited."
"..."
When Cardinal heard them talk about the Heaven's Edge or the God of the Western Regions, he could understand just by thinking about it. They were probably famous figures in the martial arts world for a long time.
In fact, what he did not know was that they were indeed famous figures in the martial arts world, but they had all gradually gained some fame in the recent years, and were not as famous as he had imagined.
Cardinal was listening to their conversation when a gentle voice called out, "Dear guest, here's your tea."
Cardinal raised his head to look. It was a woman with an extremely good temperament. However, she did not put on any makeup and her skin did not seem as white as before.
"Thank you, how much is it?"
The woman said, "Four coins."
A pot of tea worth four taels of gold proved that it wasn't some expensive tea. Even ordinary people could afford to drink it, and it wasn't any good tea.
For the best tea, one catty needed several taels, for the better, or for other specialties, one catty needed at least ten taels.
Ordinary commoners would usually drink green tea. The fragrance of the green tea would quench their thirst and thus, the price would be moderate. As commoners, it wasn't bad to drink it occasionally.
Enjoy life, is sometimes stealthily idle, sometimes go to find oneself likes the thing to do.
The Cardinal picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. The weather was hot, and he had a cup of tea. Life was about to come!
The hot and dry feeling was washed away by the refreshing tea. Cardinal Zhu placed the tea down and concentrated, continuing to listen to these people's idle chatter. He wanted to learn more about the martial arts world.
