Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 135 Taihu Lake
The next day was the birthday of Mr. Chen, after many congratulations from fellow martial artists, the banquet began, but Su Bai couldn't avoid it, so he had to follow him to the middle hall and sit at the same table with Mr. Chen.

Su Bai didn't know many people sitting at this table, to be precise, there were only two people, one was Mr. Chen, and the other was Xu Chengxiang.

The others are all older, there are two middle-aged people, and the remaining three are old people. For the two young people, Su Bai and Xu Chengxiang, the rest of the people are also a little curious. People praised him a lot, after all, he is on the celebrity list, and he is also a disciple of the "Batianmen", with different identities, so it is not easy to neglect him.

As for Su Bai, few people have never heard of it. In fact, Mr. Chen didn't know it either. They became more indifferent, maybe they felt that Su Bai was concealing it deliberately, not to give them face, maybe Su Bai had no background, they looked down on him a bit, but Su Bai didn't take it to heart.

During the banquet, many people came to offer a toast to Mr. Chen, but Su Bai got to know some people in the Jianghu who were well-known, at least in Shanzhou. This shows that Mr. Chen is not badly popular. Everyone sells some face.

Su Bai was a bit bored, and the one who could talk was Xu Chengxiang. The two were of the same age, and the other party was easy to get along with. If Su Bai didn't understand, the other party answered them one by one. In addition, he drank a lot of wine, and soon The two called each other brothers, as if they had been friends for many years.

The birthday banquet ended amidst the excitement, although it was lively, there was actually nothing to talk about, Su Bai felt that apart from the good wine, it would be better to practice martial arts for a day by himself!
In the evening, he and Qi Yun didn't stay any longer, and left "Luomei Villa" like many guests.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, a horse behind him chased him up. Su Bai turned his head and saw that it was Xu Chengxiang.

"Brother Su is in such a hurry to leave, I wanted to chat for a while longer." Xu Chengxiang's face turned red, and his eyes were a little drunk.

Su Bai actually drank more, but his capacity for alcohol has long since changed, and ten catties of wine is like drinking cold water!Now he doesn't change his face.

Hearing the words, he said with a smile: "Little brother is not used to such a lively scene, mainly due to people he doesn't know! Brother Xu is leaving too?"

Xu Chengxiang said: "Actually, I'm not used to it, but I can't help it. Traveling in the rivers and lakes, these entertainments are inevitable. In fact, I envy you more, brother, at least there are not so many people around."

The two went hand in hand, at the banquet, a celebrity like Xu Chengxiang would naturally come to say hello, while Su Bai was happy to relax, not wanting Xu Chengxiang to greet him with a smile at that time, he was actually impatient in his heart.

Xu Chengxiang shook his head and said, "I drank a little too much today, so I won't chat with Brother Su any more. When I catch up, I just want to tell you, brother, don't forget the 'Sword Talk' on August [-]th."

Su Bai nodded, and said with a smile: "I will definitely go when the time comes! But since Big Brother Xu has caught up with me, I don't think I enjoyed the drink just now, why don't we brothers find another place to drink? What about 'burning the knife'?" It’s quite refreshing, and I don’t know if there are any in that small town nearby.”

Xu Chengxiang changed his face when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "I still can't, I'm not as big as you, brother! If you drink again, you will fall down! But brother, since you like drinking, wait until August [-]th, there will be someone who can be with you Competing, I also want to see, who is the better drinker of the two of you, that's enough, I've said my word, and I'm leaving!"

Xu Chengxiang seemed to be really afraid that Su Bai would drag him to drink, so he laughed, slammed his legs on the horse's belly, and galloped away.

Su Bai shook his head, isn't it just drinking!Is it that scary?According to Xu Chengxiang's words, at the "Sword Discussion Meeting", there was a person who could hold a lot of alcohol?That really needs to be seen and seen, he suddenly felt that he was more concerned about drinking and fighting than talking about swords!

Suddenly his heart moved, saying where is Taihu Lake?He naturally knew where the Taihu Lake was before crossing China, but is this world the same?Seems different, right?

Su Bai turned his head to look at Qi Yun who was beside him, and asked, "Brother Qi, do you know where Taihu Lake is?"

"Engong, you...you don't even know where Taihu Lake is?" Qi Yun was even more surprised.

Su Bai felt that the other party was looking at him like he was looking at an idiot, so his face turned dark, and he stared and said, "If I know, I'll ask you!"

Qi Yun shrank his neck, I don't know if you have reason?But he said: "Of course I know where Taihu Lake is. Speaking of which, it is still relatively far away. It is about four or five thousand miles away, about southeast. Taihu Lake is very large, and it is the largest lake in our Wu Dynasty. Part of Suzhou and Huizhou belong to Taihu Lake.”

Su Bai was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't expect that Taihu Lake is really far away from here. No wonder Xu Chengxiang wanted to remind him not to forget that there is still more than a month before August [-]th. May not catch up!

However, he originally planned to go to Shangjing, the capital of the Wu Dynasty, but Shangjing is located in the east and north, and if he arrives in Shangjing, he may have to leave within a few days.

And after finally going to Beijing, you can't be ignorant of everything, right?Would it be possible to go back after watching the "Small Meeting on Swords"?Su Bai felt a little redundant, thinking that he was just wandering the rivers and lakes, and actually went to Beijing without any purpose, so why is he in such a hurry?It's better to go to Taihu Lake first. As for Shangjing, I can go there whenever I want!

After making up his mind, Su Bai planned to walk towards Taihu Lake in a leisurely way. If there is no need to rush, he asked Qi Yun who was beside him: "Brother Qi, what are you up to lately?"

Qi Yun had been busy with his father's injury before, but now that he has recovered, he is fine, the family property is gone, it can be said that he has nothing to do, so he shook his head and said: "I am fine, but benefactor, what do you want?" help?"

Su Bai smiled and said: "That's not true, but didn't you say to go to the 'Sword Discussion Meeting' together! I didn't expect that Taihu Lake is a bit far away from here, so I decided to start now and go there in a leisurely way. If it's okay, let's go now!"

Qi Yun's face froze, he still didn't want to go to the "Sword Discussion Meeting". He thought that if he separated from Su Bai, what would happen to him if he didn't go to the other party?Who would have thought that Su Bai was about to leave now!

"This... benefactor, I just remembered that my father's injury is just right at home, I'm afraid I still need to take care of it, you see..." Qi Yun's thoughts turned sharply, and he finally thought of an excuse.

Su Bai curled his lips and said, "Who are you lying to? Just now you said you have nothing to do, now you have something to do? I think you just don't want to go to the 'Lunjian Xiaohui', so I wonder, what are you afraid of? You The more I don't want to go, the more curious I am! Alright, it's settled, let's go directly to Taihu Lake!"

Qi Yun was speechless, he blamed himself for being too quick to speak just now, it is difficult to change his words now, he had no choice but to follow Su Bai.

The two rested for one night, and the next day they really set off like this, heading towards Taihu Lake. The road was day and night, and the speed was not fast, and Su Bai also set a rule, that is, the towns passing by , You must have a "burning knife" to stay overnight, or leave!

Although the "burning knife" is well-known and spread throughout the Wu Dynasty, it has not reached the point where it can be found in any town. Naturally, it is difficult for Su Bai to implement this rule. "When I was in the town, I bought more, so Su Bai started to hang a lot of wine jars as soon as he got up, and the horse under his crotch was really tired...

When Qi Yun was speechless, how much his benefactor loved "burning knives" that he couldn't live without drinking it for a day!And every time I drink a lot, at least a jar!

But he didn't know that Su Bai's drinking was not entirely for drinking, but for practicing kung fu, otherwise how could his internal strength be getting better and better!
Later, Su Bai also felt that this was too troublesome. When he got to a ferry, he heard that the waterway here could lead directly to Taihu Lake. Su Bai's eyes lit up suddenly, thinking that when he came to Shanzhou from Tongzhou, he just took a boat!Now, of course, I can also take the water route, and it is still direct!

With this in mind, Su Bai hurriedly looked for a suitable boat. The boat he wanted didn't just carry passengers to Taihu Lake, it also needed to be able to provide "burning knives", so it was more difficult to find.

But hard work pays off, and someone really found such a passenger ship. This passenger ship is not big, it provides food and drink, and the wine is like "burning knives". Well, this boat is not big in the first place, and with other guests included, it can't hold so much wine, even if it is replenished on the way!

Su Bai didn't want to look for other boats, so he gritted his teeth and chartered a boat, so that only he and Qi Yun were the two guests, and the wine would naturally be served.

The owner of the boat naturally agreed, and he would get a whole boatload of money for carrying one guest. Why not do such a business?
In this way, Su Bai walked along the river all the way, bored or a little bored, at least there was wine, and he was still quiet, and he was content to be able to practice swords.

After traveling for more than ten days, at the beginning of August, the boat entered the waters of Taihu Lake. Su Bai took a look and realized how big Taihu Lake is. His first feeling was that this is not a lake, but the sea!
On the boundless water surface, the water and the sky are of the same color. Compared with the real sea, it is only magnificent, but it also has another scene that is as smooth as a mirror.

Such a large lake naturally requires pleasure boats and boats. When it is close to a small town, it is okay during the day, but at night, it is full of singing and dancing, floating on the water, a different style, Su Bai thought to himself, is this the one described in the poem? Qinhuai style?
