Chapter 1623: 1623
The human relationship was marvelous . Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could get acquainted with a friend in Datang City even after disguising himself .
The literati in white robe was Lin Yichen . After encountering with each other in Talents' Pavilion, the two people traveled around the pavilion together, then Steles Tower, Feathered Temple and Dragonhiding Cave . When the night was going to fall, the two people had a drink in Rainflower Building at the bank of Swordswashing Lake .
To be honest, Zhang Tie had read a lot of books and acquainted with many top figures in Taixia Country such as Meng Shidao and Zuoqiu Mingyue, ect . . However, the personality, rich learning and intelligence of Lin Yichen convinced Zhang Tie for real .
In the Talents' Pavilion, Lin Yichen commented those talents' poems and essays in a humorous, incisive yet modest way .
Among Steles Tower, Lin Yichen told all the allusions, anecdotes and inscriptions on the tablets . When it came to calligraphy, he became excited as he directly dipped the rainwater under eaves of the Steles Tower using fingers and performed 81 variants of one Hua character . . .
In the Dragonhiding Cave, Lin Yichen introduced the history of the explorations about the dragon, starting from the Hua totem before the Catastrophe to the image of a dragon on Western Continent, from the legends of the immortal dragon in far-ancient times to the virtual image of the dragon of knights in this age . Zhang Tie learned a lot from him and figured out many things . . .
After traveling around Datang City for half a day, although he couldn't figure out the background of Lin Yichen, Zhang Tie was sure that this person was unusual .
"Come on, Brother Lin, I will propose a toast to you . . . " Zhang Tie made a cup of spirit for Lin Yichen in the Rainflower Building . Closely after that, he took his cup and said, "Brother Lin, I know you're unusual . It's our fortune to meet each other in this city, cheers . . . "
"Hahaha, I'm unusual; young brother, you're unusual too . It's our great fortune to meet each other in Datang City among hundreds of millions of people across the country . . . " Lin Yichen burst into laughter as he threw a glance at Zhang Tie with a smile . Closely after touching his glass with Zhang Tie's, he bottomed up together with Zhang Tie .
"Brother Lin, why are you here in Datang City?"
"I'm here for a person . "
"Oh, Brother Lin, do you have relatives or friends here?"
"Neither relatives nor old friends!"
"Then it must be your enemy!"
"Not enemy either!"
"You make me puzzled . Brother Lin, have you found him?"
"I made a prediction using Eight Diagrams last year . According to its implication, I would encounter the very person in Datang City . Therefore, I travel to Datang City from afar . Although I've met the person, he was far worse than that I imagined . Previously, I wanted to take him as my apprentice; unimaginably, that person shares the same branch with me and even have greater achievements than me . He would have a bright future . Therefore, I feel embarrassed proposing to take him as my apprentice . . . " Lin Yichen said as he suddenly heaved a sigh, "As for an emperor, it's easy to establish an army of thousands of people; but it's hard to get a good general . As for me, it might be harder to find a proper apprentice . Someone just waits there for his apprentice; however, I could only look for apprentice myself . If my apprentice lacks flair in cultivation, he would meet a bottleneck in the future and could barely break it . As a result, such an apprentice could only make limited achievements in his life and could inherit all of my profound learning . . . "
"What a pity!" Zhang Tie sighed with a smile, "I'm afraid that if that person could meet Brother Lin a few years ago and becomes your apprentice, he would laugh out in dreams!"
"Nothing to pity about . It's destiny . Although I don't have an apprentice, I feel also lucky having one more friend who could have a drink with me . It's nice if I have an apprentice; if not, I won't feel sad . Isn't it also a pleasure in our lives? Come on, cheers . . . " Lin Yichen burst into laughter as he cheered with Zhang Tie again .
Zhang Tie rented the entire top floor of the Rainflower Building, where they would not be disturbed by others . After drinking 18 jars of top-quality rain-flower liquor, it was already deep night . Lin Yichen then picked himself up while wavering his body . At this moment, one piece of bizarre secret knowledge crystal appeared in his hand . Closely after that, he gave it to Zhang Tie, saying, "I've not had such a drink with anyone for many years . I'm so happy to have a drink with an able young brother here today . Here's my little gift . Keep it as a souvenir . . . "
Zhang Tie didn't look into the crystal; instead, he took out a top-quality nanobead from his inner pocket . When he took that crystal, he gave the nanobead to Lin Yichen, saying, "As a vulgar person, I don't have anything valuable but this bead . Brother Lin, you can keep it as a souvenir too . There're some spears inside that I usually used and some home-made medicament . Hopefully, I could see Brother Lin again in the future . . . "
"I gift you a piece of crystal and you gift me a pearl . Thanks, young brother . . . " Lin Yichen instantly took the nanobead as he continued, "As each banquet would come to an end, before leaving, I've got one suggestion for you . . . "
