The Beacon of Kyushu

Hua Luoying glanced at Zhang Xubai's back and felt that although he was not tall, he gave her an unprecedented sense of security. She could no longer control her heart, and she wished she could entrust it to the person in front of her.

Zhang Xubai turned to look at her, revealing his own shy smile, "Luo... Miss Luoying, you... you're not hurt, are you?"

Hua Luoying shook her head and said shyly: "Thank you, little Heavenly Master. Without you, I'm afraid the slave family..."

Zhang Xubai scratched his head and said: "Xiao Dao can help the girl. I feel lucky for three lifetimes. How can I dare to accept the girl's gratitude again? If... if it is possible, Xiao Dao would like to..."

Hua Luoying thought Zhang Xubai wanted to give her body to him, so she couldn't help but lower her head in shame, and whispered in a very low voice: "This... I'm afraid this is not good..."

But who would have expected that Zhang Xubai actually pointed at the wine pot and continued: "I want to taste... taste this pot of wine without spending a penny, but I am afraid that the girl will suffer a loss. It is really... really difficult..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of ruffian laughter from outside the door, "Hahaha, I usually claim to love wine as much as my life, but I don't think it's to the extent of a calf like you! You value wine more than beauty. , Not bad, not bad, very drunken immortal state! "

Zhang Xubai followed the sound and saw that at some point, there was a young man wearing yellow linen clothes and a wooden stick at his waist. Maybe other people don't recognize this wooden stick, but how can the Little Celestial Master of the Zhengyi sect, who is also a member of the four sects, not recognize the handsome stick that is the most precious treasure of the Beggar Clan?

The expression on his face became more and more shy, and he subconsciously wanted to turn away. But he hesitated for a moment, and then he saluted the young man and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, little... Xiaodaozheng is Zhang Xubai. Is this fateful master Situ Tianxing, the son of the leader of the Beggar Clan?"

The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "Hahaha, my name is Wan Jianfeng, and I am a friend of Situ Tianxing. You don't know Situ Tianxing, but you mention this person in your mouth. Could it be that they are from the Beggar Clan?" Even though you guys are asking for too much money, do you want to make up for the two old cow noses in your family? "

Zhang Xubai lives in Longhu Mountain on weekdays. He is quiet by nature and rarely listens to jokes. For a moment, he didn't realize that Wan Jianfeng was making fun of the two of them, and said hurriedly: "No, no, helping the poor is what we Taoists should do, not to mention that Beggars' Gang disciples never beg from us. How could Xiaodao ask for money from them?"

Wan Jianfeng saw that he answered so seriously, and his smile became even brighter, "Hahaha, that little nose of yours is really interesting! If I don't have something important to do, I will have to leave after drinking a bottle of wine, otherwise I will have to make peace with you." Please be patient!"

Zhang Xubai's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word "Pandao", "Infinite Heavenly Lord, I wonder which classics Wan Shaoxia has read? "Tai Shang Induction Chapter", "Huang Ting Jing", and "Yin Fu Jing" must be all I don’t know if I have read the "Heart Sutra of the Great Sage Yuanjun of Doumu to Prolong Life," "The True Sutra of Three Ones and Five Qi", "The Supreme Sutra of Nandou Six Divisions to Prolong Life", and "The Supreme Sutra of Ziwei Divine Weapon to Eliminate Demons" Have you read it too?”

Wan Jianfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Hahaha, what are you talking about? You are giggling! Don't ask me to read these books. Just listen to the titles. They are one head and two big. If you really go If you read it, not only will you not be able to prolong your life or longevity, but if you don't let them treat you as demons and eliminate them, you will have to recite the blessings of the Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

"Wan Shaoxia, since you don't want to read my Taoist classics, how are we going to do this?" Zhang Xubai was slightly disappointed, but then he suddenly became enlightened, "Oh, Xiaodao understands, you must believe in Buddhism, Let’s have a debate on Buddhism and Taoism! That’s fine. I’ve also dabbled in the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, and the Amitabha Sutra. I hope to discuss it with my senior brother.”

Wan Jianfeng said helplessly: "What are you talking about! Are you still arguing about Buddhism and Taoism? Even though I have lived in Longtan Temple for three years, I have never read a single scripture, but I have drank highland barley wine at the foot of the mountain. Quite a bit, how about we talk about wine?”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Xubai had no choice but to say, "Wuliang Tianzun, although my righteous sect does not prohibit alcohol, I may not drink too many types. If we really talk about alcohol, I am afraid Xiaodao is not Wan Shaoxia's opponent."

Wan Jianfeng slapped his chest and laughed: "Hahaha, I have read very few books, but I have drunk a lot of good wines, such as Dukang, Bamboo Leaf Green, Nuerhong, Realgar Wine, there are countless!"

Zhang Xubai asked: "I wonder where this Dukang wine comes from?"

Wan Jianfeng was stunned, "Where did it come from? When I passed by Tokyo, I bought it with the money in my pocket. As for how they brew it, how do I know?"

Zhang Xubai smiled and said: "The rumor is talking about the origin of this kind of wine, not the origin of the pot of wine that Wan Shaoxia drank." Wan Jianfeng shook his head, "Isn't wine just wine? I only know Which wine is good and which is bad, which is valuable and which is cheap, I never know its origin!”

Zhang Xubai said: "The origin of Dukang wine must start with the emperor. At that time, Dukang inherited his father's business and was in charge of food and grass for the emperor. One day he was asked by the Yellow Emperor to discuss matters. It happened to be a heavy rain and he could not go back. The Yellow Emperor He stayed with him for a few days. The heavy rain finally subsided for several days. Du Kang quickly said goodbye to Huang Di and hurried back to check the grain and grass. He found that some of the grain and grass were soaked in water and could not be eaten. He felt distressed when he suddenly smelled a fragrant smell. He followed the smell for a long time and found that it was coming from the food soaked in water. Du Kang dipped his hand in water and tasted it. With such a delicious drink, he ordered people to imitate the moisture of grain to make the original wine. However, Du Kang felt that the wine had an earthy taste and was not very satisfied, so he looked around for a way to remove the earthy taste. One day, he met. When he came to an old man, the old man told him that if he wanted to get rid of the earthy smell, he had to add three drops of blood into the wine when it was ready. He happily went back and brewed it again, and before unsealing the new wine, he added three drops of his own blood into the wine. The result was indeed better than before, but still a bit unsatisfactory. He had no choice but to ask for blood from others. First, he found a scholar whom he had admired for a long time and took a drop of his blood. Then, he found a general who had experienced battles. I took a drop of his blood, but people in this world are neither civilized nor martial, so where can I find this third kind of blood?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, that's hard to say? Huang Di is both civil and martial, neither civil nor martial, so why not take a drop of his blood!"

Hua Luoying interjected: "Wan Shaoxia, you beg for a living. You must be hungry and full. Why don't you go to the emperor to ask for some money?"

Wan Jianfeng said without hesitation: "Which Yellow Emperor is not surrounded by a group of guards? No matter how skilled I am in martial arts, if I want to rush into the palace and ask for money from the emperor, I will definitely be chopped into pieces!"

Hua Luoying nodded and said: "That's it. Wan Shaoxia is superb in martial arts, but he doesn't dare to go to the palace to ask the Yellow Emperor for money. What's more, Du Kang has no power to tie a chicken, so how can he dare to take the Yellow Emperor's blood?"

Wan Jianfeng laughed and said: "Haha, that's right! This young hero is smart all his life, but unexpectedly, he was confused by this little bull's nose!"

Zhang Xubai continued: "So, Du Kang took the third drop of blood from a crazy and foolish man in front of his house. At this point, Du Kang finally got rid of the earthy taste in the wine and created the most wonderful drink in the world. Because wine contains the blood of literature, martial arts, and idiots, when people drink, they often become literate when they first drink, and when they drink again, they often become heroic, but in the end they become like idiots, crazy and stupid. There are people who love drinking Dukang. For example, Wei Wu once said, "Only Dukang can relieve worries." Bai Juyi once wrote, "Dukang can relieve boredom, and Hemerocallis relieves forgetfulness." , to name a few.”

Wan Jianfeng waited for Zhang Xubai to finish speaking, raised his big finger and said: "Hahaha, I thought I could definitely beat you when talking about wine, but I didn't expect you are still far behind. I am so convinced that I lost and admired you!"

"No... I don't dare, Wan Shaoxia admitted it." Zhang Xubai, who had been eloquent just now, now became shy again. This kind of lapse really surprised Wan Jianfeng.

Wan Jianfeng calmed down for a moment and asked: "Xiao Niubi, if you don't recite sutras at Longhu Mountain, why do you come to Quyue? You didn't hear the name of Baihua Nong and came all the way to drink, right?"

Zhang Xubai hesitated for a moment and then said: "Deng Xuanguang, the chief minister of Qu Yue's Tianjian, is quite famous in the Taoist sect. He wrote to my father a few days ago, hoping that my father can come to Qu Yue to perform a ritual for Li Huan. My father didn't want to come, and he didn't want to offend him, so he had to send Xiaodao on his behalf.

Wan Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, then said: "The little witch told me a few days ago that she met a little Taoist priest at Anzhoudu. I guess it's you, Xiao Niubi? Calculating the days, even if you haven't arrived at Hualu at this moment, you will be there early. It’s time to take the flower step, why are you still here?”

Zhang Xubai smiled awkwardly, "To be honest with Wan Shaoxia, I got lost on the trail. I wandered around in the mountains for nearly a month before I came here."

Wan Jianfeng was startled when he heard this, and then laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, Calf Nose, you are so lost! You must be such a wanderlust that it took you a month to get out of the mountain! Moreover, I Xia has to tell you a very sad fact.”

Zhang Xubai hurriedly said: "What...what fact?"

Wan Jianfeng pointed to the southwest and said with a smile: "Haha, Hua Lu is over there. You have been going the wrong way this month, and you have to spend another month to go back!"

Zhang Xubai almost collapsed when he heard this, and he looked up to the sky and shouted: "No... don't do it! Supreme Taiyi save Ku Tianzun, save Xiaodao!" (End of this chapter)
