Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 166
The old man who reprimanded Chen Yue said lightly: "Junior Brother, what do you think about this matter?"

Master Chen Yue said with a smile: "For this kind of thing, I think it's best for the master nephew to make a decision. After all, you and I live in seclusion, so it's not suitable for me to dictate."

The old man pondered for a moment and looked at the head of the "Huatian Sword Sect", obviously agreeing with Master Chen Yue's point of view.

The head of the "Huatian Sword Sect" did not refuse any more, thought for a moment, and said, "I must not lose the reputation of the 'Huatian Sword Sect'! People, after all, can't be justified, especially Jingwang, this child is very talented, but now it is... a pity!"

"Let's see it this way. The two of them fought fairly before, so they didn't pursue Su Bai with much fanfare, and the matter should not be made public. Now they are looking for the other party's whereabouts nearby. If they can't find them, then they can only... "

Having said that, there is actually no need to go on. Although the leader of the "Huatian Sword Sect" seems to be looking for the bottom line, he actually handles it with care, which means that if Su Bai cannot be found, the The matter is over.

After hearing this, the two old men frowned at the same time, but they didn't say much. Master Chen Yue nodded and said: "Then let's do it this way. I'll take this disappointing disciple back to heal his wounds first."

As he spoke, he nodded, turned his horse's head with Chen Yue, and headed towards the way he came.

The rest of the people didn't stay for long, another old man said in a deep voice, "Go back first!"

The group left in a hurry.

Of course Su Bai, who had already left all this, was not aware of it, this time he didn't dawdle and sped away all the way.

Suzhou has many lakes and rivers, and the terrain is relatively flat. There are no high mountains and mountains, only sparse hills, and most of them are endless plains.

Abundant water and soil resources naturally lead to abundant food harvests, dense population, well-developed trade and commerce, large-scale cities, and numerous entertainment facilities. It can be said that it is a paradise suitable for living.

After more than ten days of running around, Su Bai, of course, except for the first two days of rushing, and then stop and go, the speed is naturally not too fast, and today he came to Sucheng in Suzhou. It is not the state capital of Suzhou, but it is the most developed city in Suzhou.

Because the water and land transportation here is the most developed, it is said that the emperor of the Wu Dynasty came here in person more than a hundred years ago, and fell in love with the scenery here, and directly built a palace here, staying for more than a month before leaving !Such an advertisement naturally greatly enhanced the reputation of Sucheng, attracting countless businessmen, travelers, talented scholars, and knight-errants.

Although it's mid-February now, it's getting closer to March in Yangchun. Su Bai hasn't entered the city yet, but after seeing the river passing by outside the city, the green willows and red peaches on both banks, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, he also feels that this place is indeed It is a good place to live, especially on the hill outside the south of the city, where there are stretches of peach trees. At this moment, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, like smoke and clouds, it is like a fairyland.

After entering the city, the scene in the city gave Su Bai a different feeling. In terms of prosperity, Chang'an, Shaanxi Province, was already very prosperous. This city of Su was at most half a catty, and there was no winner or loser. But the prosperity of Sioux City is different, it is a more refined kind of affluence, there are no too tall buildings, no frivolous clothes and angry horses, it is a group of people with small bridges and flowing water.

Su Bai fell in love with it immediately when he saw it, especially in the afternoon, when it suddenly began to drizzle, sitting in a restaurant, facing the window, drinking a pot of wine, the taste is different.

Su Bai is sitting in the restaurant right now, surprisingly he didn't ask for a "burning knife", but ordered a kind of local famous "Peach Blossom Wine", looking at the misty rain outside the window, the girl strolling with an oiled paper umbrella, or wearing a The coir hat, the old man who drives a light boat and drifts with the current, just kills time like this.

Speaking of which, Su Bai didn't drink "Shaodaozi" recently. After all, drinking "Shaodaozi" can no longer improve his internal strength, so his thoughts have faded a lot, but drinking has become his habit, and he will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't drink for a day!

Then he changed the taste, at first he felt that it was bland like water, but later he tasted a different flavor, for example, the "peach blossom wine" he drank now was not high in alcohol, naturally it didn't feel refreshing and refreshing, but after taking a sip Slowly aftertaste, I can really feel the faint fragrance of peach blossom between my lips and teeth, and I feel that I am much fresher!

Not only "Peach Blossom Wine", drinking other wines Su Bai can now taste their own differences, their own flavors, yes, it's taste, Su Bai used to drink "Shaodaozi", it was all cattle drink, what to say about tasting He didn't have that at all, and now he is purely enjoying the fun of drinking, the beauty of wine, he even thinks that drinking is the way it is now!
Su Bai decided to stay here for two more days. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to go to Beijing, so he found an inn to stay in. After consolidating his internal strength at night, he rested early.

The next day, the weather was fine. After yesterday's light rain washed away, the sky was even bluer. Su Bai had never seen such a clean sky!
The weather is good and the mood is good. Su Bai rented a small boat and drifted in the waterways that cross the city. He listened to the old boatman introduce the local conditions and customs of the city, and looked at the various scenes on the shore. Before he knew it, it was noon.

Under the introduction of the old boatman, he ate a delicious meal. In the afternoon, Su Bai didn't continue to take the boat. His heart moved. Thinking of such a prosperous city, there should be a "Shangwu Shuxing"!
Although it is said that staying here is for fun, but if he does not break through to the first-class realm, it will be Su Bai's heart disease, and now he doesn't even have a direction to practice in the future, this is what makes him a headache.

After inquiring, Su Bai knew that there really was a "Shangwu Shuhang" here. Speaking of which, there are actually quite a few people practicing martial arts in Su City. Su Bai can often see people wearing weapons, but these people seem to have disappeared here. Hostile, seems a little lazy.

After asking for directions several times, Su Bai finally found this "Shangwu Bookstore". This is a small two-story building with a large area, at least it stands out from the crowd among the small buildings around it.

On the vermilion gate, there is a plaque with four big characters "Shangwu Shuxing" written on it. There is nothing special about the four characters, except for a line of small characters next to it, which reads "Wen Tianshu was written in the 37th year of Wu Dynasty".Su Bai's face changed. In fact, this line of small characters is in cursive script. He doesn't know if he read it correctly, but the general meaning is this, and he can see it clearly in those 37 years!
But if this is the case, does it mean that this plaque was written more than 400 years ago!It has a history of more than 400 years!No wonder he didn't believe it. After all, the plaque looked very new, and he didn't think it had gone through more than 400 years of wind and rain!
"Little brother, what difference do you see from this plaque?"

Just when Su Bai was in a daze, a voice sounded from the bookstore. Su Bai came back to his senses and looked towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man walking out. The man was not tall, with a mustache and a pair of eyes. Always smiling and friendly.

Looking at the other person's attire, he should be someone from the "Shangwu Shuhang". Su Bai cupped his hands, pointed to the plaque on the door, and asked, "Dare I ask if this plaque really has a history of more than 400 years?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, as if he understood something, walked out, stood side by side with Su Bai, looked at the plaque, and said with a smile: "Is this the first time you come to the book store, little brother? My surname is Su, is it?" The shopkeeper of the bookstore here."

Su Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Coincidentally, my surname is also Su, maybe I belonged to the same family as shopkeeper Su 500 years ago!"

Shopkeeper Su was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It really is a coincidence, then I'll call Brother Su, I wonder if it's okay?"

"Of course it's no problem. What did old brother Su mean just now? It's indeed the first time I've come to the bookstore, and I don't know much about this 'Martial Arts Bookstore'." People call each other brothers.

Shopkeeper Su said: "Looking at Brother Su's appearance, I have already guessed it, but I wouldn't ask such a question."

"Oh? How do you say that?" Su Bai didn't understand.

"Then let's start from the very beginning when 'Shangwu Shuhang' was established."

Shopkeeper Su pondered for a while, while Su Bai listened attentively. Shopkeeper Su said, "Of course this plaque is not from more than 400 years ago, but this 'Shangwu Calligraphy' has a history of more than 400 years! When we first established this It was the old man Taizu who ran the book. At the beginning of the Wu Dynasty, after decades of stability, the influence of those wars finally dissipated, but the people did not have time to read and study. Taizu felt that this was not enough and needed to enlighten the people. So he ordered the establishment of schools in various places, and after a period of time, he ordered the establishment of bookstores in various places, so that people can buy books conveniently, and this is how the "Shangwu Bookstore" came into being."

Only then did Su Bai realize that this was the case, and he glanced at the small characters again. In this way, "Wen Tian" seems to be the name of the Taizu of the Wu Dynasty.

Shopkeeper Su laughed again and said, "Later, renovations and repairs of the 'Shangwu Shuhang' in various places are naturally indispensable, but all other things can be changed, but the plaque written by Taizu's handwriting cannot be changed, even if it is a newly made plaque. Followed by Taizu's."

Su Bai nodded and asked, "Brother Su, is there really a plaque written by Taizu back then?"

"Yes! How could it not be! The calligraphy shop in Shangjing uses the plaque written by Taizu himself, and it has never been replaced. I was lucky enough to see it once, brother. It is indeed magnificent!"

Shopkeeper Su sighed and shook his head.

Su Bai smiled, but he didn't pay much attention to it, it's just a few words, it can make a difference.

Shopkeeper Su didn't say much, and said with a smile: "Brother Su, is this going to buy books? Although this place is not as good as the bookstore in Shangjing, it is quite complete. Brother Su might as well go in and have a look."

Naturally, Su Bai came to buy books, so he readily agreed and went into the bookstore with the other party.
