Among the major families in the world, the Li family has always been the most famous, and the other families have their own priorities. For example, the Lu family is a world-famous medical family, and the Lezheng family is the best in money and silk business.
Among all the families, the reputation of the Xu family is very weak. If she hadn't really met the Xu family, Taoyao would have thought that the Xu family was that kind of aristocratic family with a long history. Although it was expensive, it was elegant.
I was lucky enough to visit the Xu family this time, and I just saw the facade of the Xu family. It was as noble and elegant as the rumors say.
The huge Xu family was built behind a bamboo forest. After walking through a long and narrow winding path, you can see the large house with roof tiles hidden in the bamboo forest.
The houses are mainly made of bamboo and wood and are very elegantly built. There are many courtyards between the houses. In the courtyards, noble flowers such as plum orchids and chrysanthemums are planted.
In addition, there are many ponds and stone bridges in the courtyard. For some unknown reason, there is a lot of smoke curling up from the ponds, making the whole house looming.
Standing in such a fairyland on earth, Taoyao couldn't help but sigh: "Compared to the fairyland of the Xu family, Kunlun Wonderland has to feel ashamed."
After Xu Xiuyuan heard this, he smiled humbly, but his eyes could not hide his pride: "Tao Xianzun was so complimentary, how can the Xu family compare to Kunlun?"
Yan Hua sneered: "It's true that they can't be compared. The most they can do is imitate others and make others laugh."
These words made the pride in the eyes of Xu Xiuyuan and all the Xu family members disappear in an instant. However, with Jing Shangxian here, the Xu family members not only couldn't be angry, but also had to work hard to maintain a generous smile.
Tao Yao secretly laughed, not knowing whether they would be suffocated to death by their pretentiousness!
When he was about to enter, Xu Xiuyuan paused. He turned around and said softly to the Immortal with faint eyebrows: "Immortal Jingshang, your visit to the Xu family will make the humble house shine. The Xu family should welcome the Immortal as your guest." As a guest, we give all we have to entertain you hospitably.
However, this time, in addition to the Immortal of Jingjing, another big demon also came to the Xu family. The Xu family has ancestral teachings and must not allow monsters to enter the Xu family. We also ask the Immortal to forgive the Xu family for not being able to entertain them as much as possible."
The immortal shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter, it's important to do serious things."
Hearing that the immortal didn't care, Xu Xiuyuan repeatedly handed over his hand: "The immortal Jing Shang is indeed the best in the world. Although his cultivation is not as good as the immortal king, his magnanimity is already comparable to that of the god king."
"Exactly." Yan Hua sneered coldly again, "Why do you call yourself a noble family? For me, flattering a family is just as good as flattering!"
"..." Xu Xiuyuan's face turned dark. He bit his back molars without leaving a trace, and then said, "Jing Shangxian, Peach Immortal Lord, and Great Demon Yan Hua, please wait a moment, I will go and take care of you." Get all the demon pills."
After that, Xu Xiuyuan led several disciples away, and the remaining Xu family disciples were lined up on both sides, each staring at them motionless with a pair of prepared eyes.
Tao Yao looked at the word "Xu Family" which was elegant but highly valued, and silently cursed. After all, they were guests. Even if they couldn't be entertained warmly, they couldn't just stand at the gate, right?
How can this kind of behavior live up to the Xu family's reputation as a noble family?
The Immortal seemed to notice Taoyao's inner depression, and with a wave of his sleeve, he actually transformed into a stone table, three stone stools, tea and snacks on the table, and an incense burner with green smoke rising up.
"Sit down?"
"Sit!" Taoyao took two steps sideways and sat down on the stone bench unceremoniously. As soon as her butt landed on it, she was so surprised that she jumped up again, not because the stone bench was too cold, but because the stone bench was actually warm. .
When she sat down again, the Immortal had already pushed a cup of tea to her hand: "Try it?"
"Hmm~" Her deity brewed the tea with her own hands, but she didn't want to taste it.
The green tea is placed in a white porcelain cup. The cup is as white as the snow-capped mountains of Mount Bihen. If you look closer, there are faint green cracks flowing on the porcelain cup. New
This cup is so transparent!
Before the warm water enters the lips, a faint aroma has already penetrated the tip of the nose. When the water enters the mouth, the first taste is slightly bitter. However, when the water slides into the throat, a very light sweetness suddenly appears on the tip of the tongue.
How can tea be sweet?
Tao Yao smashed it again and again in disbelief, but the unusual sweet smell was nowhere to be found.
"Master, what kind of tea is this? It tastes good."
The immortal smiled, picked up the small white jade pot, and poured half a cup for her.
Yan Hua curled his lips, sat down, and said disdainfully: "It's just a cup of tea, can it make you blow to the sky?"
"..."
However, Yan Hua disliked him, but he disliked his integrity. As soon as he sat down, he reached for the white jade pot to pour tea. The funny thing was that the white jade pot was empty and he could not pour out a drop of water.
"Le Zhengjingzhi, you are too stingy!"
The Immortal waved his sleeves again, created another pot of tea, and handed it to Yan Hua: "That's Emperor Xiu's dew. Only ten trees can extract one and a half cups."
"Emperor—Emperor?!" Yan Hua was stunned and asked in disbelief, "You make tea with Dixiu?!"
Yan Hua's voice was so loud that all the bright-eyed Xu family members listened. Their expressions were a hundred times more shocked than Yan Hua's.
This situation made Tao Yao curious: "Master, what is Emperor Xiu's Dew? Is it very rare? It can't be rarer than the Qing Huang Bu Jie Zhu that Brother Jun gave me, right?"
The Immortal shook his head: "It's not rare."
After receiving the answer from the Immortal, Tao Yao couldn't help but feel contempt for these shallow-sighted people and monsters. She couldn't despise people, but she could despise monsters: "You kill a chicken for nothing, don't act like a fool who has never seen the world, and call people for nothing.
joke!"
Yan Hua was squeezed by Tao Yao and couldn't laugh or cry: "Little Fairy Tao, have you never seen the world, or do you have no idea who Emperor Xiu is?"
"ha?"
Yan Hua sighed: "Even a thousand years ago, Dixiu was a fairy grass that was not available to ordinary people. How much more so now that the road to heaven has been cut off? Dixiu has long since disappeared from the world."
"Eh?" Taoyao was shocked.
If Emperor Xiu has disappeared from the world, then where did the cup of Emperor Xiu's dew in the hands of the Immortal come from?
Yan Hua couldn't hide his jealousy and glared at the blank porcelain cup in Taoyao's hand: "Le Zhengjingzhi, are you just talking nonsense to make your disciple happy?"
The immortal smiled and said nothing.
Her deity didn't say anything, but she wanted to. However, before she could curse the Three-Character Sutra, she saw Xu Xiuyuan returning in a hurry. As he returned, he asked urgently: "But the fragrance of Emperor Xiu?"
"..." Yan Hua hesitated, it was hard to say that he was a deceiver.
Xu Xiuyuan ran to the stone table and looked at the tea set on the table with horrified and excited eyes: "Immortal Jingshang, I seem to smell the aroma of Emperor Xiu's Dew?"
The Immortal nodded: "Yeah."
"It's really the fragrance of Emperor Xiu!" Xu Xiuyuan exclaimed, with a look of horror that could not be concealed. "The last time I smelled the fragrance of Emperor Xiu was more than 1,200 years ago. I never thought that Xiuyuan would still smell the fragrance in my lifetime.
I can smell the fragrance of Emperor Xiu again."
"..." Tao Yao was really confused, "Elder Xu, look at you, you seem to covet Di Xiu?"
Xu Xiuyuan laughed: "Peach Immortal Lord, it is not Xiuyuan who covets Dixiu, but the common people covet Dixiu, because Dixiu is also known as Wangyou. Drinking half a cup can relieve all sorrows. Even if you are an immortal, it is not that
You can drink it if you drink it, because Emperor Xiu is an extremely precious existence."
Eh?
Half a cup is enough to forget her worries? Then her god gave her a cup and a half? Was it because he let her drink it all because he saw that she liked it, or because he wanted her to forget all the worries in the world?
Xu Xiuyuan glanced at Tao Yao with admiration, and motioned to the Xu family disciples behind him to put more than 1,600 demon pills in a large box on the stone table.
"The great demon Yan Hua, all the demon elixirs hidden in the Xu family are here, please take your pick."
"..."
In the past, before the way of heaven changed and before the demon clan was slaughtered, as long as all demonic beasts were willing to practice hard, they had the possibility of forming elixirs and incarnating. The elixirs formed by the demonic beasts were demon elixirs.
The demon pills are shaped like beads, bright red in color, and all of the same size. If they are mixed together, it is impossible to tell which demon pill each comes from.
For example, there are more than 1,600 demon pills mixed together in front of you.
When the demon tribe proposed that the human world would give them a thousand demon pills in exchange for Li Zhixing, Fanyin had already guessed that if the human world agreed, they would only give them the demon pills of the low-level demons.
Change.
Therefore, he didn't care much about this peace deal.
But he never proposed that the demon should come to the human world to choose him personally.
Because he knew very well that although thousands of years ago, when the gods and humans conspired to massacre the demon clan, the demon pills that were taken out after the big demon was disemboweled were all classified and collected by humans. However, once the demon asked to personally select the demon pill, it would be inevitable for the demon to choose.
If you use the powerful demon elixir, the demon elixirs that are clearly separated in the human world will inevitably be mixed together, making the demon clan unable to take action.
Monsters or humans may not be able to start, but Tao Yao is not, because she has a broken book in her hand that comes from nowhere and ends up in her hand for some reason, a book that really knows everything about the monster clan.
Yan Hua lowered his eyes, looking at the more than a thousand demon pills mixed together, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "I am afraid that a demon of my status is not suitable for such a low-priced thing."
After saying that, Yan Hua raised his eyes and focused on Tao Yao: "Little Fairy Tao Yao, it's you who should do it."
"..." This guy is really direct, and he doesn't even want to put on a show or cover up.
He didn't want to cover it up, but Tao Yao had to cover it up: "The great demon Yan Hua, it's the demon clan who said he wanted to personally choose the demon pill. Why do you not want to choose it now?"
"Wrong." Yan Hua leaned his back slightly, not bothering to look at the demon pill, "It was Fanyin who said he wanted to choose the demon pill, not me. If you are willing to choose, then choose it quickly. If you are not willing, I will
Go back home and tell Fanyin that the peace talks are void."
"..."
When Xu Xiuyuan heard this, he became anxious. He hurriedly said to Tao Yao: "Peach Immortal Lord, the peace talks between the human world and the demon clan are of concern to the world. Since the great demon Yan Hua wants the Immortal Lord to choose, the Immortal Lord might as well suffer the consequences and choose one?"
Tao Yao raised her eyebrows: "You really let me choose?"
"yes."
"No regrets?"
Xu Xiuyuan was stunned: "Forgive Xiuyuan for being stupid, but I wonder what Tao Xianzun has to worry about?"
"Elder Xu, we don't tell secrets. You and I both know the reason why the demon clan wants to personally choose. But now that the Xu family has mixed the demon pills together, it has obviously broken the demon clan's situation.
But although the demon pills are mixed together, it is impossible to tell who is who. However, I have been lucky, but if I pick inappropriate ones, will the human world be fully responsible for the deity?"
"this……"
Tao Yao pursed her lips and shook her head: "If this is the case, I cannot do such a thankless job."
Xu Xiuyuan frowned, his expression became a little speechless. He thought again and again, and then said to Yan Hua: "Great demon Yan Hua, why don't you make the choice yourself?"
Yan Hua shook his head: "I don't choose."
"..."
After saying that, Yan Hua stood up and said, "Either let her choose, or you choose, or I leave. There is no fourth possibility."
A drop of cold sweat slipped quietly from Xu Xiuyuan's ears and temples. He frowned slightly and looked at the Immortal, but the Immortal neither spoke nor raised his eyes.
Yan Hua refused to choose, so Xu Xiuyuan could have chosen by himself. However, as Tao Yao said, if he chose all unsuitable demon pills, he might be scolded in the future.
With his cautious character, how could he be willing to do something with unknown risks?
After a moment, Xu Xiuyuan respectfully handed over to Tao Yao: "Peach Immortal Lord, please bear with me for the sake of the common people in this matter. The Xu family can promise that no matter what Tao Immortal Lord chooses, it will have nothing to do with Tao Immortal Lord.
"
After hearing this, Tao Yao slowly grinned: "Is it a deal?"
