The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

The shepherd boy took Tang Yue and others to a small mountain. The apricot blossoms were in full bloom outside the mountain, and the scenery was pleasant. There was a small stream outside the valley with a stone bridge on it. The Xinghua Village was in the valley.

By the small river, several children were playing in the water. When they saw the three of them, they looked over curiously, especially the little fox in Tang Yue's hands, but they were still a little afraid of outsiders and did not follow.

"The entrance of the village is the most famous restaurant in our village. Not only does it have good wine, but also country game. You will definitely like it." The shepherd boy proudly introduced the small tavern in the village to the villagers.

"It's not me bragging. Although our village is small, some people come here from thousands of miles just to have a sip of wine here."

Tang Yue looked in the direction the shepherd boy was pointing at. It was a small two-story building with the words "Xinghuazui" written on the door plaque. It must be very good.

She really wanted to know how this wine tasted, and how it was better than the wine she made herself, so she secretly sent a voice transmission to Jinding, asking if the wine in the illusion could be drunk.

Jin Ding told her that the illusion is only to test people, and everything here is false, if she tastes this wine, she will only have a feeling of drinking, and will not really drink, so it doesn't matter whether she drinks or not, the key is her Don't let your heart fall into illusory confusion, give birth to inner demon obstacles and the like.

The village was originally a scene of contentment, and the villagers walked leisurely, not in a hurry to get in and out.There is a rocking chair outside the small restaurant, and an old man is lying on it, slowly playing a fan.

But when they saw strangers entering the village, they became nervous, looked at them suspiciously and even looked at them with a hint of vigilance.

The shepherd boy got down from the cow's back and said to the old man, "Uncle, these are passing guests and want to ask for a few drinks."

The uncle scolded: "You bastard, anyone dares to go to the village to collect it. What if it is a bad person?"

The shepherd boy was aggrieved. He brought the man because he was greedy for the sweet dragon beard cake. "Uncle, I don't think they are bad people, so they gave me some candy. Would you like to try it?"

Jin Ding took the initiative to step forward and said, "My lord, we brother and sister are not bad people, we just passed by and wanted to ask for a drink and rest for a while."

He took out some scraps of silver to the old man, these mortal objects are nothing in the eyes of immortal cultivators, the golden tripod is a large metal utensil, gold and silver can be taken out at will.

But he can't take out some gold all at once, it will frighten the people in the village, and it will also arouse the greed of the villagers.

After the uncle picked up the broken silver, his complexion improved a lot. He invited them into the restaurant and specially arranged for them the best seat in the restaurant. There was a square table by the window. .

"Guest officer, don't blame us. Our village is responsible for paying tribute and imperial wine. We must be extremely careful in order to save the lives of the whole village, let alone let someone with a heart steal the wine."

Tang Yue wondered: "But there are restaurants and inns in the village, isn't it for entertaining travelers from outside the village?" If you are so wary of every tourist, then you shouldn't set up a tavern to entertain outsiders.

The old man said: "Generally, the people who come to beg for wine are the convoys of merchants who come and go frequently. There are rich people nearby, everyone knows each other well, and they are as extraordinary as Ke Guan..."

The uncle looked at Tang Yue embarrassedly, "It's really rare for a stranger to come to the village like a fairy, so our attitude is a bit bad, and I hope the guest officer will not blame me."

Tang Yue was a little annoyed, because this was an illusion, and she forgot to cover her face, which made the people in the illusion feel suspicious of them, and maybe even suspected that they were not human, although it was true that except for her, none of them were human.

"Don't worry about the shop owner. We are indeed here to take shelter from the rain and ask for a drink. We also want to ask about the way to a nearby town. After the rain stops, my brother and I will leave here."

Hearing that they wouldn't stay for long, the shopkeeper was obviously relieved, wiped the table for them, and served tea, "We have some fashionable side dishes, game, and apricot blossom wine. What do you want?"

Jinding, Tang Yue looked at the menu on the wall and ordered some random dishes, including the signature apricot blossom wine. The little fox didn't know much about the dishes in the world, so she asked them to help order.

After a while, the restaurant served the food. Tang Yue picked up the jug and filled three glasses. The liquid in the glasses was crystal clear and exuded a strong aroma of wine, mixed with a faint apricot aroma.

She couldn't wait to take a sip. It had a clear aroma, no miscellaneous taste, clear color, moderate spiciness without bitterness, and a refreshing aftertaste.

After tasting for a while, Tang Yue had to admit, "This wine is rich in fragrance and mellow, much better than the wine I brewed."

Jin Ding said: "I think it's good too, but the wine you brew is also delicious."

The little fox was curious and licked it, and then she was so hot that she shed tears. Tang Yue smiled and took out a small bottle of honey for her to drink, "Kids don't drink."

Originally, when the shop owner saw that she had poured a glass of wine for the fox in her arms, he suppressed his anger, thinking that the wine glass had touched the mouth of an animal, which was serious.

Now she even used good honey to feed the livestock, the old man kept scolding this woman in his heart for being so ignorant and wasting things.

But he was more concerned about her saying that she could make wine, "This lady can also make wine?" He was very afraid that these two people came to steal the wine.

Tang Yue knew that he was suspicious, "I can only brew some sweet wine for my daughter's house. The shopkeeper is an expert in wine. Try my wine."

She saw that the innkeeper hated her for feeding the fox with a cup from the tavern, so she took out two delicate celadon cups and poured the wine she brewed: "Since we meet each other by fate, I will give these two cups of wine and the wine glass to the innkeeper."

Seeing that she had lost such a good two porcelain cups, the shopkeeper dissipated the anger in his heart. He took the wine and tasted it seriously, "The taste is sweet and the aroma is changeable. Although it is opportunistic, it is better than ordinary The wine is much better, and the lady's wine is also very good."

After he tasted it like this, the doubts in his heart became heavier. This lady is obviously an expert. This is not some kind of fruit wine brewed for fun in the boudoir. Could it be that they really came here for the wine party?
Seeing Tang Yue's doubts aggravated by the store owner, Jin Ding knew that she was planning to go fishing, and took the opportunity to find out what the trials in this village were like, so he cooperated and said, "Of course, my sister has learned from my father's skills, and I am a bit of a fisherman." Not at all, only the smell of copper."

What these words revealed to the store owner was that their family was a businessman, their ancestors started making wine, and their colleagues were enemies. They probably came here to make their own wine replace Xinghua Village as imperial wine.

Maybe as long as they get the Xinghua Village's wine prescription, their home-brewed wine will be better than Xinghua Village's.

After a series of brainstorming, the shopkeeper only felt that their village was facing life and death. At this time, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it had become a torrential rain, which was obviously not suitable for traveling.

Jin Ding said: "It's raining so hard, we can't go to the town anymore, we need to trouble the store to open a first-class room for us, so it's convenient for us two brothers and sisters to live in."

The store owner thought it was a coincidence that these two people must be good friends and want to stay in Xinghua Village, but he responded calmly: "Well, we happen to have a suitable suite in our palace, divided into east and west rooms, just for you. The guests live."
