Chapter 1627: The Story of Bragging and Selling Wine (More Updates, Please Subscribe)
"Don't listen to their nonsense."

The tavern owner smiled and served the freshly made skewers to other guests, "They just come here for fun."

"Who said that, Boss? I trusted you so much at the beginning. I believed everything you said."

"That's right. I almost went with you to hunt for treasure underground in Changzi City."

"That's right. Now you're saying we're talking nonsense. That won't do."

"..."

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Gu Xi's heart calmed down. He took another sip of the wine in the glass, and the feeling of his whole body burning appeared again.

At this moment, Gu Xi looked down at the wine and felt a little confused.

What's the situation with this wine?

At this time, the drinkers started bragging to Gu Xi again.

“You newcomers may not know this, but we old customers have survived by listening to the boss’ stories.

A long, long time ago, the boss was probably only in his teens.

This shop was opened by the boss's father.

One day the boss suddenly came over and said that he had secretly entered the center of Changzi City that night, that is, the secret passage under the bell tower.

Following the secret passage, he entered the underground of the Firstborn City and saw a forest of pure golden color.

A human head shaped like a hill is enshrined in the center of the woods.

It is said that many black silk threads fell from the sky and pierced people's heads.

He suspected that the human heads enshrined in the woods were an evil magic circle set up by an evil organization in order to influence Changzi City.

For this purpose, he studied human heads every night.

It was finally discovered that this human head would have a spiritual impact on people.

People are slowly influenced and eventually lose themselves.

So the boss developed this kind of wine, which, after drinking, will turn the influence on the mind into oil and sweat and excrete it.”

At this point, all the customers in the store burst into laughter.

Some of them even pounded the table with laughter.

It felt like they had encountered something really funny.

The boss also looked helpless.

When the old customer saw Gu Xi's puzzled look, he spoke.

“You just arrived in Changzi City, you may not know how high the confidentiality level of the clock tower in the center of Changzi City is.

On the surface, there are only five confidentiality levels in the sub-city, but in fact there is a confidentiality level higher than level A, and the bell tower is at this level.

People like us are all living a hard life in Changzi City. We don’t usually even go to the Class D confidential area.

Not to mention the clock tower in the city center.

And he also entered the secret passage under the bell tower.

If you think about it, you will know that this is impossible.

In fact, we all know that this is a story made up by the boss specifically to brag about his wine.

But the wine was really delicious, and we all knew the boss was a nice guy who just wanted to brag, so we believed him, hahahaha."

The old customer said he believed the boss's story while hammering the noodles, and it was obvious that he was not smiling enough.

Listening to the stories told by the old customers, Gu Xi initially treated it as a story, just as the old customers said.

But after thinking about it, Gu Xi felt that this was not a story, because the wine obviously did not taste fake.

So Gu Xi ordered some of the restaurant's specialty meat skewers, and then asked when the boss served the dishes.

"Boss, can you tell me some details about your story? How big is the forest under the bell tower? Are the trees themselves made of gold, or have they grown into a golden color? Also, how big is the human head enshrined in the forest? Can it still move?"

After hearing this, the boss rolled his eyes at Gu Xi and said, "Stop joking. I really don't have any stories. This is your skewers. Take your time to eat."

At this time, an old customer said, "You won't get anything out of asking the boss.

He hadn't told that story in years.

If you want to hear a story, you should go find Lao Wang.

He grew up with the boss and is considered the boss's sworn enemy. He argues against every word the boss says.

He studied over and over again the various stories that his boss had told him before.

It can be said that he is most familiar with details.

You want to hear the details, right, Old Wang? Come here for a moment."

As soon as the old customer finished speaking, a bald man poked his head over.

The bald man was about the same age as the boss, probably in his forties or fifties, but he had a horse face, and in order to show that he actually had hair, he even grew a small mustache.

"What do you want to know? Come and ask me. I know everything."

Seeing Old Wang enjoying the fun, Gu Xi smiled and started asking about his boss's childhood stories.

The point is not how to enter the bell tower.

Old Wang said directly that the secret passage in the bell tower was fake and no one had ever found any secret passage in the bell tower.

Gu Xi didn't care about this. He was more concerned about the golden forest and the huge human head in the heart of the forest.

According to Lao Wang's recollection, the human head enshrined there was as tall as a hill and it was a male head.

The head was placed on the ground, and the beard extended like tentacles to a distance of thirty meters.

When the boss found the human head, he thought there was some strange carpet on the ground. Later he found out that it was the beard of a human head.

The boss made this very clear when he was telling the story, so Old Wang also remembers it quite clearly.

Judging from the length of the beard, the head was at least ten meters tall. As for whether the head was dead or alive, the boss did not explain clearly. He just said that the head glared at him and he was scared and ran back.

As for the question about the golden tree, Old Wang has a lot to say.

He simply moved a chair and sat in front of Gu Xi, where he started analyzing.

Old Wang thought that what the boss saw was the golden pine.

A kind of wood that looks like gold, he said: "In those years, this kind of golden pine was very popular.

Many people who renovate their homes specifically ask for this kind of golden pine wood.

The weight of wood, the shine of gold.

The most important thing is that this thing is wood, so carpenters can process it and carve the golden pine into any shape you want.

It is a good material for cups.

At that time, we dreamed of having a forest of golden pine trees.

So brother, do you understand? No matter how much you brag, it always has a reason.

He won't brag about something he doesn't know.

So these are all fake, he made them up to make his wine famous and sell it.”

Gu Xi did not respond, but took a sip of wine and began to ask for other details.

Through the additional details, Gu Xi slowly had some guesses about what his boss had said.

In the eyes of these old customers, this was just a story about the boss bragging about selling wine, but to Gu Xi, many different things could be seen in it.
