Chapter 30 Temptation
While chatting and laughing, Ge Quan and I quickly went up to the third floor. Along the way, we could see that Ge Quan was very proud of the decorations in his room. I knew a little bit, so I flattered Ge Quan.
This made us even closer. When we walked up to the third floor, we looked at Ge Quan's attitude towards me without knowingly, and maybe we thought I was Ge Quan's long-lost son.
"My study room is not easy to enter. Now I am honored to invite you brothers in." While speaking, Ge Quan pushed open the door of his study room, and I have to admit that Ge Quan's way of speaking is very useful. He treats you intimately, and a few words can make people feel comfortable in their hearts.
As I responded, I walked into Ge Quan's study with a smile. As soon as I came in, I felt why Ge Quan valued this study so much. The complete set of furniture inside was made of good huanghuali, including the huge bookshelf. The books on the bookshelf were all wire-bound books. I didn't look carefully, but I could see the antique flavor of those books at a glance.
The decorations inside are even more of the finest antiques.
If these are just low-key luxury accumulated by money, then the photos on the wall illustrate the owner's hidden strength.
Those photos are all taken by Ge Quan and some people. I saw many of them very strange, but I always recognize two or three of them. They are all famous experts in the circle, and one of them is Jiang Yi.
I looked at it quietly, but found that there was a painting on the wall where the photo was hanging was particularly conspicuous and placed in the most serious position. It was a portrait of a character. One of them was painted by Ge Quan, which looked a little younger than now, and the other was a person I would never forget even if I forget everyone in my life - my master.
In the painting, Ge Quan stood side by side with my master, looking particularly close. The moment I saw it, I almost couldn't control my feelings, and actually reached out to touch the painting, the master standing with a smile in the painting.
"Huh? Big brother, do you like this painting? Do you know the people in the painting?" Obviously, my disobedience attracted Ge Quan's attention, and he asked me in surprise.
And I was also extremely confused. The relationship between Ge Quan and my master, the notebook left by Master Liu was only defined as good, but why did Ge Quan feel that
I quickly withdrew my hand, learned from Brother Chengxin's habitual movements, held my glasses, and said, "No, I just feel that among so many photos, this character is expressed in the shape of a painting, which is a bit amazing! After a closer look, I feel that the person who paints is extraordinary, and he can only show the charm of the character vividly in just a few strokes. For example, Master Ge, you have completely expressed your entire spirit. Is it really a work of everyone?"
Hearing this sentence, Ge Quan was silent for a moment, looked at the painting on the wall and pondered for a while, and then carefully brushed the slight dust on the painting, and I saw all these details.
"The person in the painting is kind to me, but he has always been low-key. I want to know that he has no real face. It seems that I have thought too much, so how could my friend recognize him?" When he said this, Ge Quan seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he suddenly said proudly: "Haha, my friend doesn't like taking photos. He has almost no photo in his life. He has a good eye, but he can tell at a glance that it is a work of everyone. It costs me a lot of money."
I was speechless again, and then I was pondering in my heart. Master didn't like taking photos in his life, but on the way to find Master, he left so much video materials. I could guess that he was not willing to do it. In addition to leaving me some information and hints, I guess he must have been under some pressure to do things he didn't want to. Thinking about it this way, things became more complicated.
I was furious for no reason. Not to mention finding my master at this moment, my own affairs were still in a fog and I couldn't handle them.
I wanted to ask something else, but Ge Quan seemed not to want to mention the paintings anymore, so he quickly called me to the small rooftop outside the study room.
Soon we sat on this small rooftop, and Ge Quan made a pot of good tea by himself. The taste of this tea in his mouth was so familiar that I knew it was the kind that my master and I often drank in Xiaozhu, Zhulin.
Over the years, I have traveled around the world, except for the tea that Master Li’s mother tree Dahongpao and the mysterious Wang Feng who drank me, I have never drunk any better tea than the tea that Master took out. I didn’t expect that at Ge Quan, I could actually relive the taste of this kind of tea.
Speaking of which, after Master Tea left, some of them were left behind, but I didn’t dare to drink them anymore, so I kept them as a souvenir.
"My friend, did you taste this tea?" Obviously, my thoughtful expression attracted Ge Quan's attention again, and he asked me in surprise.
I put down the tea cup and said, "This tea is so good that I can't bear to speak for a while. I just want the fragrance of tea to stay in my mouth for a while."
"It seems that my friend is a person who knows tea. You know, I won't take this tea out to entertain guests easily, because it was given by an old friend. Now, this old friend is not mentioned, but I can drink a little bit of this tea, a little less." Ge Quan's expression was a little dim. I observed quietly and found that he was really sad, which made me a little sad.
Because, it is not difficult for me to infer that this tea should be given by my master. I have been drinking this tea since I was a child. Apart from my master, I can't think of anyone who would give it to Ge Quan.
"Sorry, Master Ge, I accidentally mentioned your sad things. Could it be that your old friend has gone?" I asked this deliberately. After all, I promised that Ge Quan would not buy news here, so I could only tempt it indirectly. Seeing the end, could I say something openly and get the news I wanted.
"No, how could he be immortal? Don't say that, but" Ge Quan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "You also know that cultivators often avoid the world and practice, but their whereabouts are uncertain."
"So that's it!" I became even more certain. The old friend Ge Quan said was my master again. Judging from Ge Quan's appearance, this relationship could not be defined as just good. I really don't know what Master Liu thought.
Ge Quan seemed not to like to talk about this topic, and suddenly changed the topic. When he talked about his small rooftop, he didn't know. When he said that, I realized that all the chrysanthemums on the rooftop were famous species, and ordinary people probably wouldn't see them once in their lifetime.
"My rooftop has different colors all year round. Those who are qualified to bloom on it are not precious famous species, but they cannot be raised." Ge Quan's face was quite proud, so I had to nodded repeatedly.
Although this knowledge about flowers sounds interesting, Ge Quanyi said it was nearly an hour, and it was almost noon and the tea was cold. Before I could get to the point, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
So, I took out a small part of the medicinal materials from my backpack and handed them to Ge Quan. I smiled and said, "Talking with Master Ge is really a great pleasure, and I have gained a lot of knowledge! However, I am a cultivator and am more interested in the strange stories in the circle. I wonder if I can talk to Master Ge about this next?"
Ge Quan saw the medicinal herbs, his face was filled with smiles, and his eyes were almost a slit. He calmly collected the medicinal herbs, but there was still a sense of boundary markings and contemplation on his face.
I quickly said, "Okay, we will only talk about the things we can talk about in the circle, and we will never involve buying and selling news? Mr. Ge thinks it's okay?"
Then Ge Quan laughed happily, then changed the topic and said loudly: "Little brother is serious. In this way, you can pick one or two books in the study first to read. I will go to cook myself, make some common food for the little brother and drink happily. Wouldn't that be even better?"
In fact, from the morning to now, I have never eaten anything except drinking a stomach of tea, so how could I not be hungry? But I was so calm that I didn’t say anything useful to me since I met Ge Quan until now, and I didn’t even get into the topic. How could I not be anxious? Where can I wait for Ge Quan to carefully cook a meal, and how many hours would I delay?
So I said loudly: "Master Ge doesn't have to work hard. Although I can't buy news here, I have something in my heart, but I have to vomit first and then hurry up. Can Master Ge talk with me?"
Ge Quan had already walked out of this small platform and was about to go downstairs. Hearing my words, he stopped suddenly, remained silent for a long time without saying anything, and did not look back.
I suddenly became nervous. Could it be that I was too abrupt? If I annoyed Ge Quan, my previous efforts would be wasted. If he drove me out, what should I do?
But he didn't expect Ge Quan to suddenly turn around, with a smile on his face and said to me: "That depends on what topic you are talking about? You know, when I get old, I can easily get hurt. The more I worry about the topic, the more I need to make up for it."
When I heard this, I finally felt relieved. I quickly raised the luggage bag in my arms and said, "Don't worry, Master Ge, just leave the replenishment matters to me."
"Then what are you talking about?" Ge Quan walked back to the rooftop and sat down. It was cloudy outside, but the small rooftop of this glass house was warm and comfortable.
Ge Quan looked at me with a smile, but I no longer wanted to delay it. Soon, he said calmly: "Master Ge is well-informed. I wonder if he has heard of the most shocking thing in the circle recently?"
"You mean?" Ge Quan still smiled and remained silent.
"It's that Chen Chengyi, a descendant of Lao Li's lineage, and Jiang Lichun's apprentice. It's rumored that he is dead?" I looked at Ge Quan and said in one breath.
Ge Quan was still smiling, but I noticed that his brows jumped unconsciously, and at this moment, I became nervous. Ge Quan's subsequent attitude obviously determined my gains!
