Chapter 784 – Donkey and Tea Garden
Da Xi was very big. Many of the older people would never have the chance to walk out of the range of their lives to see other big cities. The bigger people would never be able to walk out of the range of their lives to see other big cities.
The Jinling was very big, even the Sacred Ground Great Thunder Lake Temple of the Buddhist Sect, who had tens of thousands of years of history, would not lose, even compared to the Western Region Golden Crown s. The big shots in the upper echelons lived in the imperial court but could not leave the market.
However, Da Xi was also very small. Since the founding of Da Xi Empire, there had not been many Lower Celestial Stage Rankers who came from the Humble Class. The Jinling was even smaller. Ever since the establishment of the country, there had only been two people who did not belong to any big families.
One was called Fang Zheng, the other was called An Zheng.
So this world was so contradictory and harmonious. The commoner wanted to go out and take a look at his purse, but he couldn’t help but sigh at how big Da Xi was. The Grand Cultivator standing at the peak looked up at the sky and weighed his cultivation base. He couldn’t help but say how high the sky was.
However, on this day, not only did that young man manage to break through the Heavenly Tribulation, he even managed to do something that defied common sense, and used heavenly lightning to punish the heavens.
Even Daxi Shenghuang did not dare to question the heavens.
In fact, in the end, there was only one word that made a difference. The former wasn’t afraid of Sky Law, but rather the heavens. As the Saint King and the number one cultivator in the Great Xi Empire, Chen Wunuo did not dare to question the heavens because he felt guilty.
An Zheng’s realm was still unstable, after all, this was the Lower Celestial Stage. To An Zheng, the heavenly tribulation this time only allowed one of his legs to return to the world of the Lower Celestial Stage. However, he would need a period of time to refine and stabilize.
And what An Zheng was going to face next, was precisely what sort of troubles would follow if people discovered that he was the one who broke through to the heavenly tribulation. There would be more people who would want to win him over, and more people who would not be able to win him over soon.
He quickly returned to Hollow Jade Temple and told his disciples that he was not to see anyone.
However, there was no meaning to it, because the first person who came to find him was the old eunuch, Wen En, who was temporarily acting as manager of the Da Xi palace. An Zheng knew that if he insisted on not meeting his, then it might be the opposite.
In the living room, Wen En and An Zheng sat facing each other.
Wen En only laughed, causing An Zheng’s heart to become even more uneasy.
“Eunuch is smiling so much that I’m a bit scared.”
An Zheng asked: “With your smile, I don’t know what to congratulate you with.”
Wen En shook his head: “What can you congratulate me about? A eunuch who had enjoyed the spring for decades had become a noble son? That would truly be a joke … I’m already a temporary steward. Even if my master comes back, my level won’t drop. At most, I won’t care about all these things, but my salary will still be so much. There is nothing left for me to be happy about. ”
“Then why are you so happy?”
Wen En said: “There are only the two of us here, so I do not wish to say too much. If I say it’s for the world, you might think I’m a hypocrite. “That’s why I said, the reason I’m so happy is for your majesty.”
An Zheng obviously knew the difference between a king and a king for the world, because Wen En did not care about the lives of the people under heaven. He did not care about whether he was awake or not and he did not want to be awake.
An Zheng obviously knew that Wen En was here to probe around, but he could only pretend to be stupid.
Therefore, An Zheng pretended to look astonished: “Your Majesty … There’s joy in it now? ”
With a Pu sound, all of the tea that Wen En had just drank from his mouth shot out. For someone like him, who paid extreme attention to his appearance and rules, it was not easy to spray out tea.
Wen En laughed until he almost stopped breathing, and then used his hand to pat himself lightly on the chest: “I say, Taoist Chen, you are saying that you want to kill your head.”
An Zheng laughed: “Your head is still there, it seems like you are not here to chop my head off.”
Wen En said: “Forget it, I’m also not going to continue fighting with you. In the current Jinling, everyone was discussing about one person. Which family had obtained a heaven’s chosen one, and also produced a Lower Celestial Stage Ranker? “Like I said, I’m jusunuch. I don’t have such big thoughts about the world, but I still understand that it’s all about the world.”
“Whether a nation is strong or not, the number of cultivators in the Lower Celestial Stage is actually a very, very hard foundation. Thus, this was a matter that concerned the entire world. Great xi has gained another powerful Lower Celestial Stage Ranker, so His Majesty is grinning from ear to ear. ”
An Zheng stood up immediately: “Congratulations eunuch, you have become a Lower Celestial Stage Ranker.”
Wen En was glad that he did not continue drinking the tea, otherwise, he might have been slightly disrespectful to him after spitting two mouthfuls, “Leader, how long are you going to keep pretending to be a fool? The other clans were still testing each other out for flattery, no one knew who this heaven’s chosen one was. However, since Da Xi is so big, there’s nothing that can be hidden from His Majesty the Sacred Emperor. In the Jinling, what can be hidden from His Majesty? ”
An Zheng raised his thumb, and did not say a word.
His expression suggested that he was in need of a beating.
Wen En obviously knew what this young Taoist called Chen Liuxi was worried about, so he smiled and continued, “Before I came, Your Majesty already said that even if I put a knife to your neck, you wouldn’t admit that the one who caused the calamity was you. Moreover, I am only a powerless eunuch, how could I place a knife at your neck? ”
An Zheng: “Eunuch, stop joking, are you powerless?”
Wen En self-deprecatingly said: “I do have the strength to bind a chicken, but I don’t have the strength to support a chicken … “Sigh, I don’t have it.”
These sudden cold words caused An Zheng to not know what to say.
Wen En was not embarrassed at all. He looked at An Zheng and said: “Before I came, His Majesty said that if it really was you, then Your Majesty could pretend that you did not know what I did in the house. “But if you refuse to admit it, His Majesty can only send his subordinates to find out who it is. If the yamen is unable to find out, then he can only use the martial forces in the martial arts world to do so.”
An Zheng: “Great Daxi Shenghuang, how dare you use this … to threaten people. ”
Wen En: “En, I must remember this. After a while, I will return to the quiet garden and report this truth to His Majesty. I just don’t know what Taoist is going to say … What is it? ”
An Zheng, “Cough, cough …”
Wen En said, “Your Majesty said that he knows of your concerns. The realm of a cultivator who had just entered the Lower Celestial Stage was extremely unstable. If someone came to harass him at this time, it was highly likely that his cultivation level would drop, and he would not be able to enter the small world for an eternal life. How complicated was the situation in the Jinling? I think that you have learnt quite a lot about it in the past few days, so … Aren’t you afraid that someone might actually come and disturb you? ”
He pointed to the teacup on the table and said, “I, a eunuch, have come to disturb you. At most, I’ll ask for a cup of tea. If people who want to make some kind of deal with you and you don’t want to disturb them, then maybe a cup of tea will not be enough to get rid of them. ”
An Zheng said in all seriousness: “Unrighteousness and unrighteousness...”
Wen En: “I have to remember this sentence. Although the person you mentioned was me, I feel that the word ‘Liang Wangzheng’ is the most important.”
An Zheng sighed: “Eunuch, what exactly do you want to do?”
Wen En could finally take a sip of tea before speaking. He savored the fragrance of the tea and praised, “I have long heard that Daoist Priest is a very enjoyable person. When it comes to tea, there are many types and different prices. But the Taoist seems to be buying only one kind of tea... That was the most expensive. “These tea leaves do not seem to be any worse than those in the palace.”
An Zheng: “Just tell me, just tell me, when you are about to leave, I will get someone to bring you a donkey cart full of tea leaves.”
This time, Wen En almost choked on his tea as he shook his head and sighed: “Sometimes you are so refined that it feels like you are about to become an immortal, and sometimes you are also so vulgar like a small-time villain. The reason why the tea was mentioned was because His Majesty knew that you need a quiet environment, and since the Taoist has done quite a bit of research on the Way of Tea, hahaha … In the quiet garden, there just so happened to bea garden neglected for management. His Majesty wished to ask the Daoist to take care of it for a period of time. As for when you will leave the tea garden, that will be up to you. ”
An Zheng: “When Eunuch said that I have studied the Way of Tea, why would I blush and cough?”
Wen En: “When I was young, my parents told me that lying would cause my nose to grow longer. Even though I later found out that it was all a lie, it was still a childhood shadow. I was getting older and older before I understood one thing. What’s the fear of a long nose when you tell a lie? The longer the nose, the uglier it is. It wouldn’t be good if it was struck by lightning. ”
An Zheng: “...”
Wen En said: “So Taoist, are you going to the teahouse or not?”
An Zheng: “Do you have a salary?”
Wen En: “About that … Absolutely not. “His Majesty had thought of it and said that after all, this is the Imperial Family’s teahouse and they are all famous within it. It would be bad if a few of them were killed by the Daoist if he didn’t serve them properly, so he thought about taking your deposit.”
An Zheng: “That’s too much.”
Wen En said, “I will stop talking further. I know that there are a lot of things happening in the Hollow Jade Temple, and it might be a little troublesome recently, so it might not be safe for you to go to the teahouse. So, you can take a few people you care about with you. “In addition, there will be an Imperial Guard outside the Hollow Jade Temple, and the experts from the inner palace will take turns to guard the area. Is this not enough?”
An Zheng: “If I say no more, what’s next is to disobey the decree and lose my head … …” Well, I’ll go. But, even if I were to go, I will not admit that the one who destroyed the heavenly tribulation was me. ”
Wen En pointed to the sky and asked: “What do you mean?”
Wen En: “Thunder and lightning in the sky.”
An Zheng thought to himself, I can even split the sky, am I afraid of thunder? With his current control over the power of thunder, it would be a good thing if he didn’t strike down others. The tempering and transformation of An Zheng’s Cultivation Power by the Lightning Lake’s primordial flames could simply be said to be a qualitative leap. An Zheng’s lightning energy had already reached the level of origin ability. That was the reason why he was able to point a finger at the heavens, allowing the heavenly lightning to strike backward.
Wen En stood up and said: “Alright, I have completed the task given to me by the Emperor, so I will not disturb you any further. You said that you would give me some tea leaves, I cannot take them for free. If His Majesty knows that I have taken your benefits, I am afraid he will punish me. ”
He took out a silver note from his sleeve and placed it on the table. “Tea money.”
An Zheng actually picked it up and looked at the amount on the silver bills, before frowning slightly.
“What, not enough for your tea?”
Wen En asked.
An Zheng said: “I was the one who gifted you the tea, what money do you have? How can I take your money?
Then, he kept the silver notes, causing Wen En to be stupefied.
An Zheng looked at Wen En, and even explained: “Oh, this tea is mine, I will use this silver to buy a donkey, after all, I have agreed to give you a donkey cart full of tea leaves.”
Wen En: “...”
