Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 224 Riverside Tea House
Riverside Tea House.

This place can be regarded as a scenic spot in Ningcheng, with pleasant scenery and elegant style.

The tea house is built next to the Tianjiang River. Sitting in the tea house, you can see the vast and endless Tianjiang water at a glance.

But in this season, drinking tea in the tea house by the river, I am afraid that I will not be full.

When the winter wind blows, the chiffon curtains of the tea house sway with the wind, as if the coolness is much stronger.

When Li Changsheng went out, light snow began to fall in the sky.

There is not much snow in the south, but the wind in the south is very strong.

When the cold and damp wind blows, I only feel the coolness of the shade, as if it can penetrate the clothes and penetrate into the bones.

This riverside tea house is one of the properties of Huatian Group. Normally, only noble families can afford this place. Now that the weather is cold, there are no people there.

However, the person who came here seemed to have made preparations long ago, and booked the entire place, which is really a big deal.

As soon as Li Changsheng arrived here, a special person would lead him there.

I can only see the long river, which seems to have remained unchanged since ancient times. Snowflakes are falling on the river surface, and it seems that the silver yarn of the river is rising from the sky. In the distance, thin clouds and mist are filled, like a fairyland.

On a high platform and pavilion near the river, an old man with gray hair on the temples was sitting at the table, his eyes were deep and far away, looking at the endless torrential river, his expression was calm, calm and serene.

Behind him, two burly men in suits and leather shoes stood motionless with stern expressions on their faces.

Li Changsheng followed his servants to the pavilion and waited quietly.

Someone came up to report: "Mr. Mo...Mr. Li is here."

The gray-haired old man nodded slightly and said, "Please come up."

Li Chang was so angry that he calmed down. At this moment, he seemed to be nothing, and walked up the pavilion.

Looking at it, Mr. Mo felt that at this moment, Li Changsheng seemed to be integrated with the scenery here and the surging river behind him, as if there seemed to be nothing.

But when he looked closely, that feeling disappeared again. Li Changsheng was still the same Li Changsheng, looking like an ordinary person.

Mo Lao was slightly dazed.

Li Changsheng walked in front of him, smiled faintly, and said, "You are looking for me?"

Mr. Mo came back to his senses, but he didn't get up. He just said softly, "I've been waiting for Mr. Li for a long time...Mr. Li...please sit down..."

Li Changsheng was not polite, and sat opposite Mo Lao.

"Mr. Li...Try this Longjing from the West Lake. It is produced in Shizifeng. It is a first-class product. It is green in color, fragrant and sweet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Mo poured Li Changsheng a glass with his own hands.

The tea is poured into the cup, and the strong and fragrant smell comes out, revealing strands of fragrance, refreshing.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly, without saying much, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip.

Sure enough, the tea tasted sweet, and when it entered the throat, it was a little sweet and astringent, and when it entered the abdomen, it felt as if the internal organs were wrapped in warmth.

The weather outside was so cold that it made people shiver, but Mr. Mo and the two men in suits and leather shoes behind him didn't seem to care, as if the chill of the deep winter fell into the river in front of him.

Elder Mo didn't look at Li Changsheng either, he just looked at the river in the distance from the pavilion, and after a long time, he said, "I heard that there are generations of talented people who have led the way for hundreds of years. Before that, I still don't believe it... But when I saw Mr. Li today, I believed him somewhat."

"A hundred years, a thousand years, so what? I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't compare to the elegance of the old man. I came here today because I have something to do. The old man is waiting for me. Doesn't it mean that he just wants to have a cup of hot tea with me?"

Li Changsheng smiled faintly with a calm expression.

"People outside respect my age and call me 'Mr. Mo'." Mr. Mo said flatly.

Li Changsheng looked calm, looked at the old man in front of him, but didn't speak.

After waiting for a long time, Mr. Mo seemed to have had enough of seeing the long river, so he turned around, smiled slightly, and said, "Even if Mr. Li is a sensible person, I won't slander him. It belongs to me, so Tan Shisan belongs to me too."

Li Changsheng smiled slightly, but still didn't speak, just staring at the old man in front of him.

These words don't need to be said by Mr. Mo himself, Li Changsheng knows it in his heart.If it wasn't for the affairs of Huatian Group, there wouldn't be this pot of tea today.

If you came here today not for the affairs of the Haijian Group, Li Changsheng would be interested in drinking a few cups of hot tea with leisure and elegance in this unique place.

It's just that drinking depends on the person, and drinking tea also depends on the person.

This Mo Lao had a high-ranking posture, like an outsider, a little arrogant, but in Li Changsheng's eyes, it seemed like he was pretending to be a wolf with a big tail.

Words are like a tiger blocking the way, and clothes are like creepy hair.Regardless of the person in front of him, no matter how gorgeously he is dressed, he is covered in gold, and the inside is ruined.

Mo Lao took a sip of tea slowly, sighed, and said: "20 years ago, when I was traveling around the world, I saw a child in a small alley in Ningcheng who was being bullied by a group of children. I couldn't bear it, so I went up to stop it. I found that this son is very talented and a good material for learning Taoism, so I secretly accepted him as a disciple... I have never married a wife and had children in my life, so I treat this son as if I were my own."

Li Changsheng shook his head with a smile, and said, "You thought it was a good intention of yours, but in fact you did a terrible thing. Tan Shisan's fate depends on you... If you didn't accept him as a disciple back then, and he lived a peaceful and ordinary life, maybe he wouldn't have become so vicious. One's own selfish desires disregard human life."

Mo Lao seemed to be emotional, but he didn't refute, but shook his head, and asked Li Changsheng: "A person who learns the Tao can really become a fairy?"

Li Changsheng looked at the river in the distance, and said slowly: "Why do people who want to learn Taoism want to become immortals?"

"If you can't become a fairy by learning the Tao, why are you a scholar? Some people study the Tao all their lives, just to one day worship the Prince of the East, see the Queen Mother of the West, and kowtow in front of the Sanqing Gate on the Nine Heavens, but the way of heaven has not changed in the past. You can live freely in the world, but now... the way of heaven has changed, and there is a separation between human beings and immortals. What is the purpose of this long journey of cultivation? Could it be that... is it more noble than the seven emotions and six desires, the glory and wealth in this world?"

Mo Lao seemed to be a little emotional, and at this moment, his complexion changed slightly.

He studied Taoism all his life, but in the end, he found that he didn't even have the qualifications to become an immortal and ascend, and it was inevitable that he would fall into evil ways in a single thought.

Li Changsheng laughed "haha" when he heard this, and said: "Wealth and glory, God can't let me decide, and the steel frame is upright, I can't let God decide, even if you can't let go of the world's glory and wealth, why use rhetoric?" Imposing sin on Tiandao?"

After the voice fell, outside the pavilion, the wind and snow rolled down in an instant.
