The Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 512 Hidden secrets gradually emerge

"this……"

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes just now, Xiao Chen wouldn't have been able to believe the scene before him. In just such a short time...how far had this old beggar's swordsmanship reached? It’s really unimaginable…

In the past, he always felt that his swordsmanship could not be surpassed by anyone among his peers, but now compared with this old beggar, it is simply unbelievable. When will he be able to master these three-talented swords?

The old beggar chuckled and said, "Hurry up and write down the secrets before the wind blows. Old man, I'm leaving..."

"Senior, wait! I haven't asked for advice yet..."

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to stop him, but when he raised his head, there was no sign of the old beggar in the bamboo forest. He could only hear the other man singing "Neither a demon nor a Tao nor an evil, a pot and a sword for a thousand years..." "

The sound gradually faded away, and finally returned to loneliness. In the huge bamboo forest, only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo branches was left. Xiao Chen quietly looked at the bamboo leaves on the ground, and with a sweep of his consciousness, he memorized all the heart secrets on it. After finishing it, this swordsmanship is so profound that I can only wait to study it slowly in the future.

The doubt in his mind now is, who is this old beggar? In that valley that day, this person must have stopped the mysterious master of Zangfeng Valley for him. Now in this world, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

It was not until a long time ago that his mind slowly calmed down with the evening breeze in the bamboo forest. At this time, a crescent moon was rising above the bamboo tops. The bright moon was refreshing, and the bamboo shadows were whirling.

He slowly left the bamboo forest and walked back in the direction of Qingzhou City. As he walked, he thought about the four dishes the old beggar asked him to find before. The mandarin fish was only found in Taihu Lake, Suzhou.

Shen Jing said before that the man from the ancient village was very fond of studying cooking. On the day of the incident, a famous chef from Suzhou came to Qingzhou City, so the man went to Qingzhou City to learn cooking skills, so he escaped. …

At this moment, Xiao Chen's heart seemed to flash with lightning, and he suddenly understood something. Of the four dishes that the old beggar asked him to find, the last two dishes were named "Linyuan Envy Fish" and "Shui Qing Wu Fish", most of which No one has ever heard of it, but Chef Xu from Zuixianlou actually knows these two dishes. Could it be...

Thinking of this, he was even more shocked. So that's it, so that's it. Chef Xu from Zuixian Tower is the one who escaped the disaster in the ancient village back then. And the old beggar asked himself to find these four dishes. But he helped himself again. This old beggar knew everything like a god. He even knew what he wanted to do. Could he really be a god?

He couldn't think of much at the moment. He shuddered and hurried back to Qingzhou City. By the time he arrived, the night had completely shrouded the city, but Qingzhou City was extremely prosperous. Even late at night, it was still very lively, not to mention that it had just fallen into the night. .

There are still a lot of customers in Zuixian Tower. The shopkeeper made ten gold coins in vain today, but he was so happy that he generously hired a dozen dancers from Lanxiangfang to make it lively tonight.

However, the entire restaurant was filled with singing and dancing, and with the moving movements of the dancers on the stage, cheers came one after another from upstairs to downstairs.

The shopkeeper and waiters were busy greeting the guests, but in the back kitchen, Lao Xu had been dealing with the fumes from the stove for thirty years, with only a few newcomers nearby to help.

It wasn't until after midnight that the whole Qingzhou City gradually became quiet. In the Zuixian Tower, the guests all went back to their rooms to rest. Old Xu also got off the stove and had some food as usual, and then took a shower. After taking a shower, he went back to the shabby room in the backyard of the restaurant to rest.

The bright moon hung high that night, and the moonlight shone into the house. Lao Xu, who was nearly sixty years old, seemed to be worried a lot that night, and he couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning.

The wind beat on the window sill, as if whispering silently, and I saw him getting up from the couch for a while, looking at the bright moon and cool breeze outside, and then returning to the house, smoking a dry cigarette and sighing.

Or when he opened the old cabinet and looked at some things that were already covered with dust, tears gradually gathered in his originally cloudy eyes.

At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind outside, and a figure seemed to fall outside the window. Old Xu was startled and pushed the cabinet back like lightning. Then he turned around and looked outside nervously, and saw the shadow of a tree outside. There was an additional figure, and my heart tightened even more, and I asked tremblingly, "You... who are you?"

"Master Xu, it's me, don't be afraid."

Xiao Chen walked over slowly. When Lao Xu saw clearly that it was the noble young master during the day, he felt a little relieved and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if this young master came here late at night...is there something wrong?"

Xiao Chen smiled softly, and in order to dispel the doubts in the other party's mind, he said with a smile, "The four dishes that Master Xu cooked during the day were very suitable for my husband's taste. My husband asked me to ask, Master Xu's 'Linyuan Fish' , and "the water is clear and there are no fish", who did you learn it from?"

"this……"

Lao Xu pondered, and at this moment, it was as if he was recalling the past. After a long time, he did not raise his head. Xiao Chen took another step forward and smiled softly, "This mandarin fish is originally from birth." Although fish fry have been introduced from Taihu Lake in Suzhou in recent years, they are still not as plump as Taihu mandarin fish, so this Linyuan fish is also spread from Suzhou, right?"

Lao Xu raised his head, looked at him, and finally nodded, but said nothing.

But even if he didn't say anything, Xiao Chen had already guessed it, and continued, "Back then, the famous chef from Suzhou came to Qingzhou and brought a dish of 'Linyuan Fish'. What he meant at that time was There is no mandarin fish in Qingzhou, so we can only look at it from a thousand miles away. If you want to eat this dish, you have to go to Suzhou... right?"

Lao Xu remained silent, but the more silent he became, the more he acquiesced.

Xiao Chen continued, "At that time, Master Xu was young and energetic, but he refused to accept it, so he filled a bowl of water from Zuixian Lake in Qingzhou City, made a bowl of 'water is clear and has no fish', and told the man that although there is no mandarin fish in Qingzhou Fish, but if the clear water of Zuixian Lake is used to make wine, it will be the best wine in the world, right?"

After listening this time, Lao Xu finally stopped being silent. He raised his head. His originally cloudy eyes suddenly seemed to be filled with energy, and his hands trembled slightly. He asked in a low voice, "Dare you ask me, sir..." Who is it?"

At this moment, Xiao Chen confirmed all his previous guesses, because on the day he met the old beggar in the city, he said to him, "In this mortal world, water from Zuixian Lake is still used to brew the best wine," so " The origin of "clear water without fish" is just as he said just now.

"Master Xu, you were not from Qingzhou City before, right?"

Xiao Chen stared at the other party's cloudy eyes and asked.

The night wind blew slowly, and Lao Xu's whole body trembled slightly. Regarding his origin, he had never told anyone in the past thirty years. Now he wants to settle down in this mortal world. He spent the rest of his life peacefully, but something happened to find him again.
