Wei Tao watched quietly and said nothing.

In winter, the sun is warm and the mountains are covered with snow.

A beautiful woman is like jade, warm and moist like water.

All this was deeply engraved in his mind, and he didn't even want to say anything for fear of accidentally destroying this beautiful scene like a picture scroll.

After a long time, Wei Tao drank the medicinal wine in the cup, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly didn't know what to say or what to say.

He just looked at the scattered black hair beside her ears, and then lowered his gaze subconsciously, staring at the red pattern painted on the edge of a dish. His mind was inexplicably wandering at this moment, and he turned countless turns and landed in an inexplicable place.

of another place.

"At the beginning, I used treacherous silk to trace part of the content of the Xiyue Illustrated Book. So if I think about it by analogy, the true meaning of the Vajra Secret Technique is also made of points as lines and lines as surfaces. Can I also use treacherous silk to reproduce it from beginning to end?

Show up?"

"If it can be done and is effective, doesn't it mean that the true meaning of Xuan Nian can be fixed by some means?

In this way, you can naturally meditate and gain insights whenever you want, and the efficiency of practice will definitely increase several times compared to before."

"That time when I met Gong Yuan by chance on Qinglin Mountain Road, she said personally that she had poor qualifications and did not have a very good talent for cultivation.

But with the level of strength she has shown, and the fact that she can use the special skills of the three great masters Dingxuan, Qinglian, and Emperor Wu as easily as she can eat and drink, I am afraid that not even the Northern Wilderness Golden Dragon Tribe Master can catch up with her.

This does not mean that he has poor qualifications and no talent. It can be described as amazing talent and terrifying talent."

"So, whether the Palace Garden has reached this point and whether it has anything to do with the mysterious silk threads has become a question worthy of in-depth study.

However, judging from her words and deeds before her death, there seems to be a huge hidden danger. However, the specific results are not complete, and we cannot make a more accurate judgment."

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He completely forgot about the delicious and delicious dishes on the table. He didn't even put down the wine cup in his hand, and fell into deep thinking again.

Ni Xun didn't say anything to disturb him, he just sat there drinking tea alone, with a leisurely posture and a calm expression.

It is in stark contrast to the way I used to seize all the time to immerse myself in practice.

"Move and still, relax and relax. Senior sister is well versed in the ways of civil and military affairs, and she will be able to survive the mystery safely."

Wei Tao just opened his eyes, not caring that the food on the table had cooled down and was swept away like a wind and a lingering cloud.

It wasn't until he took the last sip of medicinal wine that Ni Xun smiled and said, "I can't even talk about peace. Since I entered Xuanjian, I have been troubled by all kinds of delusions, but I rarely show them, so I look so relaxed."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up from behind the table, "If the war breaks out again, our sect will definitely bear the brunt. The Taoist master and the elders have been busy recently, and many outer Taoist temples under the mountain have also begun their final preparations. I hope it is just a false alarm in the end."

field."

Wei Tao nodded and followed him out of the pavilion, "Prepare for the worst and work hard for the best. Most things in this world are like this."

The sky is getting darker and the cold wind is coming again.

The capital city of Qizhou is lively and noisy, and it seems that it has not yet been affected by the pressure transmitted from the northern border.

Wei Tao walked slowly along with the crowd and soon arrived at the location of his restaurant.

People were coming and going in front of the door, and business was booming.

He stood in front of the door and looked for a moment, then turned and left.

Not long after, Wei Tao came out of his empty house and went straight to the courtyard where the Sancaimen headquarters was located.

Two disciples were having dinner in the porter's hut, with a pot of shochu and a few plates of side dishes. They were drinking and chatting happily.

Wei Tao did not disturb them, and entered the courtyard in a flash, then walked towards the place where Mu Fang lived by familiar roads.

Still some distance away, a gust of evening wind suddenly blew by, bringing with it a strong smell of blood that was almost indistinguishable.

He frowned slightly, his true energy and blood began to circulate spontaneously, and he took another step forward.

The black robe he wore stretched in the wind and made a hunting sound. In an instant, he crossed the entire front yard and arrived at the door of the inner courtyard.

Without any sound, Wei Tao had already arrived in the courtyard, with a strange and complicated expression on his face, and quietly looked at the Sancai Sect Master who was busy not far away.

And the wild deer that Mu Fang kept tossing.

Skin, bleed, debone, and remove meat.

Mu Fang's series of movements are smooth and flowing, with a unique beauty like that of a cook trying to unwind his cow.

There are various kinds of condiments on the table next to it. At first glance, there are all kinds of condiments, some of which even Wei Tao has never seen or heard of.

Mu Fang was so busy there that he didn't even notice that there was an extra person in the yard.

Wei Tao observed for a moment, then slowly walked out of the darkness, "I have never seen that Brother Mu is good at cooking before, but I am quite surprised."

Mu Fang said without raising his head, "Don't you know this? When you were a kid, your boss and I were from a butcher family that killed pigs and sheep. After so many years, we naturally cannot throw away our craftsmanship."

He let out a big wine burp and kept talking with his hands, "I dealt with restaurants a lot later, and I learned some cooking techniques without a teacher, until later..."

Mu Fang suddenly fell silent, turned around and looked up in confusion, and looked this way.

"I originally thought it was some blind little guy in the door who insisted on disturbing me when I was most concentrating."

He murmured to himself, and the smile on his face grew stronger, "I didn't expect that Brother Wei was here. Brother Yu, it's not like I haven't woken up from the wine at noon. I must be dreaming while I'm asleep."

"I see that Brother Mu is very sober and has the ability to predict the future."

Wei Tao smiled slightly and pointed at the venison on the table, "Did brother anticipate that I was coming and prepare the stew himself?"

"Brother Wei's compliments made even a shameless person like Brother Wei a little embarrassed."

Mu Fang paused and said, "Brother, I must have just returned to Fucheng."

Seeing Wei Tao nodding, he continued, "Brother Wei may not know yet, but the old man and his wife no longer live in that mansion, and have moved to a better place. I went over to have a drink at home yesterday.

.”

"Since I returned to Fucheng last time, the young lady of the Jiedushi family often went to the restaurant to eat, and in the name of the eldest lady, she opened several branches of the restaurant in Fucheng, and there are other shops nearby.

Later, Second Young Master Feng purchased the garden mansion next to the Jiedushi Government Office and wanted Uncle Wei to live there, but the old man politely declined..."

As Mu Fang picked up the important things, he suddenly threw away the butcher knife and cleaned his hands in the water basin next to him, "I was just thinking about properly handling the venison and choosing the best place to send it to the old man tomorrow.

But since Brother Wei is here today, it would be better to choose a different day, and I will take you there when I change my clothes."

A quarter of an hour later.

The two stopped in front of a tall gate.

Before he really got close, Wei Tao felt a few wary eyes coming towards him.

The next moment, the aura where the eyes came from suddenly fluctuated violently, and was no longer as cold and calm as before, as calm as a stone.

Wei Tao turned around and shook his head slightly.

Then he and Mu Fang knocked on the closed door.

After a while, there was a soft squeaking sound.

The small door used to observe the situation was opened.

Wei Rongxing's hearty laughter rang out, "It turns out to be Xiao Mu. You came at the right time. I happened to cook a large table of dishes and opened a jar of good wine. It just so happened that the two of us had a few drinks together."

He opened the door and glanced at the deer leg in Mu Fang's hand, "Didn't I tell you before? You can just come over. There is no need to bring things with you all the time."

Mu Fang laughed and said, "Uncle Wei, in addition to these two deer legs, I also brought a big gift today. It will definitely make you fall in love with it as soon as you see it."

"Oh? Then I really want to take a closer look to see what kind of gift it is that can make..."

As Wei Rongxing spoke, he looked behind Mu Fang, and his voice suddenly stopped at this moment.

He took two hurried steps, descended the steps, and murmured to himself, "Brother Tao is back, it's Brother Tao who's back."

"I feel relieved when I see my father is well." Wei Tao held Wei Rongxing's arm and slowly walked towards the door.

"Your mother had a dream two days ago, and she has been talking about you since then, saying whether you will come back before the Chinese New Year, and she doesn't know if you have grown taller or if you need to prepare new cotton clothes..."

Wei Rongxing rambled on, his voice calmed down, but the expression on his face became more and more joyful.

When he came to the brightly lit area in the courtyard, he stopped and looked carefully at Wei Tao in front of him.

"Brother Tao seems to be paler when he comes back this time than before, but it's a good thing he hasn't continued to lose weight."

Mufang sent the two deer legs to the kitchen and left immediately after coming out. No matter how hard Wei Rongxing tried to persuade him to stay, he would leave. He just said that he would invite Wei Tao to have a drink later to catch the wind and wash away the dust.

The dining room is warm as spring and brightly lit.

Zheng Suyun kept picking up food, and his eyes could not accommodate anyone else except his own son.

"Where's the eldest sister? Why haven't you come back yet?" Wei Tao asked as he accompanied Wei Rongxing for a drink.

Zheng Suyun said, "She and Xiaoshang went to the Feng Mansion in the afternoon. It seemed that Miss Feng's family was feeling unwell, so they went over to visit together. After calculating the time, it was time to come back."

She glanced outside and said, "I haven't come back yet. I think I was left at home by Qu Chang for dinner again."

"Your father and I haven't gone out much recently, and Xiaoxiao has gone out a little more. But every time, Master Shang personally leads people to follow him secretly. In addition, there are also those subordinates in black secretly sent by Brother Tao to protect him.

There’s no need to worry.”

Wei Tao said, "Father and mother should go out when they should. There is no point in staying at home all the time."

Zheng Suyun smiled and said, "It's mainly because the weather ahead is bad and it's snowing all the time. Otherwise, I would still go for a walk on the street, drink tea with others, and chat."
