Chapter 189 Visiting the Peng Family Er The elders did not wait long at the entrance of the village. Soon an old man with white beard and hair but a rosy complexion came out to meet them. After some conversation, the elders knew that the person in front of them was the contemporary patriarch of the Peng family, and the Peng family they were looking for had indeed lived in this remote village for generations. Patriarch Peng received the elders of Wulin in the ancestral hall. After sitting down and serving tea, Patriarch Peng looked at several wooden boxes carried by the elders and said with a gloomy expression: "You are here to send the remains of Peng's disciples. Right." After the elders looked at each other, the white-haired old man spoke. He considered his words, picked up the black porcelain tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said in a low tone: "There are indeed two people named Peng and one person. I don’t know if the young man surnamed Peng had an accident outside. I couldn’t bear to see the bones of the noble children unable to return to the clan, so I specially returned the bones and relics. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting." The Peng clan chief used his rough eyes like a peasant. After slowly stroking the tea cup in his hand with his big hand for a long time, he continued to ask: "That young man with an unknown surname returned to the West by chance after hurting the life of a kind person." A group of martial arts elders showed shock on their faces: "That's right, If there is something fishy in it, please tell me a little bit to clear up the doubts in my heart." After hearing that the unknown young man died in such a mysterious way, the Peng clan leader's face became even darker, with regret and reluctance in his eyes, and he rubbed the black porcelain teacup His hands were also shaking a little, and the light green tea in the cup was shaken and overflowed, dripping down the palms of his hands and onto the gray clothes, leaving a few dark stains that were very conspicuous. The host fell into nostalgia and sorrow, and the guests as guests could not continue to ask questions, so they had to sit quietly with them and sip the unknown green tea in their hands. At first, they didn’t care much about it, but as soon as they took the green tea into their mouths, they knew they had underestimated the inconspicuous tea in their hands, which had no aroma. This tea is warm and moist in the mouth, and a light and elegant flavor escapes from the lips, teeth and tongue, and lingers in the mouth for a long time. While the mouth and tongue are salivating, I wait until the saliva is full before swallowing it carefully in my throat and settling in Huangting. Before the old men could swallow the tea, they started to sigh. A soft force rose up from the place where the tea was collected in the abdomen. It quickly flowed through the body along the four meridians and eight meridians, and finally split into two and gathered in the upper and lower dantian. It added a bit of vitality to the dry bodies of the elders. Shock filled the faces of all the old men who had swallowed their tea. After looking around, the white-haired old man found that all his old friends, without exception, were shocked by the mediocre tea. The old friends around me tore away the indifference of the past, all with shock and surprise. They carefully held the small black porcelain tea cups in their hands and tasted it carefully. The respectful and cautious attitude was still a long, long time ago, when the white-haired old man was still young. When he was a child, the master took him to the "Tian Yao Sect" to participate in the rare treasures conference. The master was given a bowl of "Nine-Nine Guiyuan Tea", which he had never seen before when he tasted it. Although he was too young at the time and could not digest the potency of the medicine, so he could not personally taste the "Nine-nine Return to Yuan Tea" that the three "Heavenly Medicine Sects" only produce every century, but the old man with the heavy hair believed that the cup in his hand was worth it. The effect that ordinary tea brings to them is not necessarily much worse than the rare treasures that the "Heavenly Medicine Sect" has spent hundreds of years to prepare. At least after the master drank the "Nine-Nine Return to Yuan Tea", he never heard him mention that this rare treasure has the effect of reviving life. The treasures of medicine are unknown to everyone, but the tea in front of you, in your hands, and in your belly is full of vitality, nourishes your inner organs, and strengthens your inner strength. It is real and not fake at all. For a moment, there was a quiet, sad silence while sipping tea, and the Peng Ancestral Hall fell into silence. It wasn't until the sky got dark and someone brought lanterns and lit candles from outside that the Peng clan chief and the martial arts elders who were immersed in the spiritual tea were awakened, and their eyes gradually returned to clarity. "I can't help myself after hearing the bad news. I made all the guests laugh." Chief Peng said with embarrassment as he put the sad look on his face away. "No, no, we are too presumptuous. It is a big mistake to disturb the master's meditation. The patriarch is worried that his nephew and nephew will reveal their true feelings. This is a matter of cleaning up. It is an example for us ordinary people who are mixed. But the deceased has passed. , please have your condolences." Hearing the sincere words of comfort from the elderly people opposite him who seemed to be about the same age as himself, the Peng clan leader put down his teacup, held it in his hand, and after being immersed in it for a long time, he asked again: "Can you Tell the details of the three people named Peng who are away." After several martial arts elders exchanged glances with each other, the white-haired old man came forward to answer. He slowly narrated to the Peng clan leader with regret in his eyes: "The first two Peng clan members We don’t know very clearly about the situation. We just heard it said below that if the clan leader wants to know the details, we can send out carrier pigeons tomorrow to summon the juniors who participated in the incident for questioning. I don’t think it will take a few days. Now the clan leader wants to ask , although we don’t know all the details, we can give a general idea, so I will tell it here first, and don’t blame the clan leader for any incomplete details.” The clan leader of the Peng clan nodded and said, “No problem, please tell me a few things, distinguished guest.” The white-haired old man saw it. At this point, he took a sip of the tea he refilled while holding the lamp and slowly said: "I learned about the situation of the first two tribesmen relatively early. It was one night a month ago. That day," the stone kiln after the sun went down. The village is like a caged bird returning home, quiet but lively, full of vitality in the night. Light emanated from the halls and stoves of dozens of households, slightly driving away the dark night in the village. Under these dim lights, the men who had worked hard all day spent most of their bodies in the yard trying to wash away the fatigue and dust of the day. The children who refused to rest for a while were laughing and playing, running in and out of the house and courtyard. From time to time, they would bring some food from the kitchen and kitchen. They would shout with joy and come to show off the food in front of their father, brothers and elders. , I am really envious of the cats and dogs following these naughty elves. After the hustle and bustle subsided, the fragrance began to float on the dining tables of each house, and every household in Shiyao Village sat down early, waiting for their families to gather together to enjoy the last hard-working meal at the end of the day. There is no such bad custom in the village that women cannot serve at the table. On the contrary, the internal and external cooperation between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is the fine tradition inherited by the ancestors of Shiyao Village. Finally, after the hostess of the family brought all the women in the family to the table and sat down, the joy in the night began to burst out.
