Chapter 83 Meeting an acquaintance again on a Chinese boat
The suzerain's stature is close to Elder Ming Zong's, neither of the tall type.
But the face of the suzerain is very young, he looks only thirty or forty years old, he has long black hair, wears a golden hair crown, and holds a folding fan in his hand. With the smile on his mouth, he looks like a scholar.
If Master Ming Zong didn't call him, Zheng Qiu would have thought he was the author of the book.
The suzerain saw Elder Ming Zong's actions, he didn't move, but asked Elder Ming Zong with a smile: "Ming Zong, your apprentice is there, can't you go?"
Elder Ming Zong shook his head again and again: "Don't go, this trouble is not caused by you, don't go."
"Hahahaha, it's not my fault." The suzerain laughed heartily, waving his fan and leaving Elder Ming Zong behind, and walked towards the slope to board the Tianzhou. The other elders looked at Ming Zong one after another, covered their mouths and sniggered, and quickly followed the suzerain.
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Elder Ming Zong didn't want to be left alone, so he quickly followed the rest of the elders and walked towards the slope without looking sideways.
Just when passing by Zheng Qiu's side. He felt his clothes being pulled by someone, and when he looked back, he found that it was the girl Mingkong Zilin.
Ming Kong Zilin smiled and held Ming Zong, dragged him back, and shouted to the side: "Aunt Ming Sijiu, I've caught him, come quickly."
"Let go, let go..." Elder Ming Zong broke away the girl's little hand that was holding onto the hem of the clothes. Just as he opened the right hand, the left was caught, and when he opened the left, the right was caught again.
After finally grabbing the girl's two hands at the same time and pushing her aside, Elder Ming Zong felt a burst of fragrance wafting from the back of his head.
He turned his head, and saw Ming Sijiu's beautiful face close to his eyes, so he quickly took two steps back to distance himself, and said with a straight face, "Ahem, what's the matter with Elder Ming Sijiu?"
Hearing this, the smile on Ming Siqiu's face disappeared immediately: "Ming Zong, are you pretending to be stupid again?"
Ming Zong spread his hands: "Elder Ming Sijiu, I don't understand what you are talking about?"
"I really don't understand?"
Ming Zong shook his head: "I don't understand."
A smile suddenly broke out on Ming Siqiu's face, she stroked the black hair hanging from her forehead, and said to herself: "It's fine if you don't understand, um...Mingding has grown stronger recently, those arms, those muscles..."
While talking, Ming Sijiu swayed his steps and walked up the Tianzhou along the slope.
Elder Ming Zong put his hands behind his back and looked at the distant mountains leisurely to see the scenery. After a while, he secretly glanced at the direction where Ming Sichou left, took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but follow.
"Master!" Zheng Qiu's head was full of question marks, why did the master ignore him? Is Elder Ming Sijiu very powerful? Master seems to be a little afraid of her.
Just as he was thinking, someone gave him a chestnut on the back of his head, so he quickly hugged his head and squatted down to hide.
"Stupid boy! You also want to go to the banquet?" Seeing that Zheng Qiu was about to hide, Mingkong Zilin grabbed him by the back collar, pulled him back, and then pushed his head up again.
"Oh! It hurts to death!" Zheng Qiu tried to break Mingkong Zilin's hand like a master, but his strength was far inferior to others, Mingkong Zilin's hands were like iron tongs, and he couldn't move them.
An official disciple wearing a blue-patterned imperial uniform ran over to rescue Zheng Qiu: "Junior Sister, don't make trouble, hurry up and get on the Tianzhou, I'll be waiting for you."
Then he congratulated Zheng Qiu: "Congratulations, junior brother, for becoming a disciple of my sect. I was ashamed that I couldn't welcome junior brother when he came to the sect."
The young man's face was so familiar, Zheng Qiu tilted his head to recall, and soon remembered that this person was the senior brother he had met in Bihe Town. It was he who showed him the way and let him come to Qianyunzong by Tianzhou.
Zheng Qiu hurriedly bowed to the other party: "Thank you, brother, it wasn't the brother who taught me how to ride the sky boat that day, I haven't had the chance to come to the Yunzong, let alone apprentice..."
The young man interrupted him: "I am favored by Shun Shui, and my junior sister asked you to come. My name is Li Mojian, what do you call my junior brother?"
"The stupid boy is Zheng Qiu.
Before Zheng Qiu could speak, Mingkong Zilin answered first, and then she asked Li Mojian, "Brother, did you get a good seat?" "
"Of course, the elders will keep it for you."
Mingkong Zilin cheered, a light blue halo appeared on her body, and she rushed to the sky boat.
Zheng Qiu and Li Mojian were the last to board the Tianzhou. As they stepped into the hall, the slope behind them was slowly retracted, sealing the entrance tightly.
Zheng Qiu had never seen the furnishings inside the sky boat. Compared with ordinary sky boats, the furnishings here were closer to the secret boat he sat on when he went to Jingpu Cliff. But the furnishings are more luxurious and expensive than those in the secret boat.
The hall is covered with dark brown velvet blankets, surrounded by exquisite carved tea seats, and the tea seats are separated by copper low flower stands.
The walls are not smooth metal, but are pasted with plain moiré silk cloth, and there are also special wooden shelves hanging on the walls, which are filled with books for the passengers to read.
At the top of the hall, Zheng Qiu also saw a large carved wooden table, behind which stood four or five wooden frames, and the wooden frames were full of bottles and jars.
Between the table and the wooden frame, stood a foreign sect disciple in a green-patterned imperial uniform. He kept taking bottles from the wooden frame and pouring them into the jar in front of him, as if he was making something.
In the middle of the hall is still the floating jadeite, this piece of floating jadeite is the largest piece Zheng Qiu has ever seen, he estimated that it would take three of himself to hug this stone.
It was also the first time for several disciples to ride this sky boat, and they walked up and down the hall excitedly. After a while, five or six people surrounded the wooden platform, chatting with that foreign sect disciple.
Seeing Zheng Qiu staring curiously at the direction of the wooden platform, Li Mojian introduced to him: "This is the unique drinking platform on this sky boat. The disciple from the outer sect is a master at making drinks, and the sect specially recruited it. Wine, water, soup, soup, nectar, whatever taste you want, he can make it for you."
Li Mojian's words made Zheng Qiu's heart itch, but the master asked him to drink that kind of potion every day, and he had to ask the master before drinking anything else.
So he temporarily gave up the idea of trying, and asked Li Mojian: "Brother, what is the name of this sky boat? I know the secret boat, so this boat must have a different name."
"This is called Fuguironghuazhou, or it can be called Huazhou directly. Only when Zongli goes out to visit, or when he wants to receive distinguished guests from the big sect, will he sit on this boat."
The two chatted for a while, and Zheng Qiu realized that there were no elders in the hall, so he asked Li Mojian again.
Li Mojian led him to the right side of the hall, bypassing a silk screen, revealing the copper carved staircase hidden behind. Then he told him that this Chinese boat has two floors, and there are special compartments on it, where the elders are all cultivating themselves.
Zheng Qiu scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Senior brother, to tell you the truth, I want to taste what is brewed by that drinking station, but I have to find the master first. If the master disagrees, I can't drink it."
Li Mojian nodded and agreed: "Then I'll take you to find it, lest you make the elder angry by wandering around."
