Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 492 The Immortal Drunk

Cheng Le was indeed very miserable. According to him, he was originally a scholar in Wen County, with a good family background, and he was a relatively well-known landlord in the county.

This is the same as Li Xiuyuan.

After all, if there is no money in the family, it is difficult to provide for one person to study.

However, bad luck came after Cheng Le passed the examination as a scholar. Because of an accident, the fertile land of his family was trampled by a cattle-herding servant of a family of officials named Huang, and his own tenant was seriously injured when he argued with him. Cheng Le was angry. However, a piece of paper was submitted to the yamen, and it turned out that the yamen was a corrupt man.
The official was arrested and received money from the Huang family, and the lawsuit was lost.

Cheng Le was also angry with his book business, so he cursed a few words angrily, but was punished by the county magistrate, who accused him and the robber of being fellow gangsters, got a lawsuit, went to prison, and even tortured him.

Later, he went to the capital to file a complaint, and after all his money was spent, he was released from prison unharmed.

But after he was released from the prison, his parents were exhausted day and night and couldn't afford to fall ill, so they passed away soon, leaving him alone and a few servants in the family.

Cheng Le was disheartened, so he didn't care about fame and fortune. He had the idea of ​​seeking immortality, and then spent money to inquire about the news. When he heard that there were immortals in Changshou Town, he came here admiringly.

Zhou next to him is his neighbor. They have a close relationship with each other, like brothers. They grew up together and went to school together. This time, Cheng Le asked him to come with him.

"I didn't expect that brother Cheng is also a person with a story. Come, drink this cup to the brim, and you won't return today if you don't get drunk." Li Xiuyuan picked up the jade pot and poured a cup for him.

The aroma of wine overflows and fills the tea shop. Its color is like jasper, which can see through people's shadows, and its strong aroma can intoxicate people.

Cheng Le has also been rich before, he has tasted a lot of fine wine, now he opened his eyes wide and looked at the green glass of wine in front of him: "What kind of wine is this, it is so fragrant."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "This is a jug of fine wine given to me by an expert I visited before. It is rare in the world, and this wine has no name. I named it Immortal Drunk."

"Immortal drunk? A good name, a good artistic conception, a good wine that even a fairy can get drunk." Cheng Le was careful not to spill it, and then drank it with anticipation.

"Ok?"

The fairy wine entered his throat, Cheng Le's eyes widened, he seemed to be at a loss for words for a while, he didn't know what words to use to describe the beauty of this wine.

"Good wine." After a while, he put down his glass and gasped.

"After drinking such fine wine, all other wine in the world is but slop."

He praised, but before he finished speaking, his face turned red, smelled of alcohol, he couldn't bear it all at once, and immediately passed out, still muttering in his mouth: good wine, good wine and so on.

"Are you drunk?" Li Xiuyuan hadn't finished the glass of wine in his hand, and he couldn't help being surprised when he saw Cheng Le getting drunk after a glass.

"Brother Cheng is indeed drunk." Zhou Cai who was next to him pushed, but he didn't wake up. He said, "Is this fairy drunk really so miraculous, that one can get drunk after just one drink?"

"I have never drank this wine before, so I don't know the pros and cons of it." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhou Cai said, "I'll drink half a cup and try."

Smelling the aroma of the wine, he was also greedy, a little unable to hold back, carefully pecked half a mouthful, the aroma of the wine was overflowing when he entered the mouth, it was long and delicious, but as soon as he swallowed it into his stomach.

Immediately, his face also turned red, his eyes rolled immediately from the smell of alcohol, and he immediately lay down on the table, unconscious from drunk.

"Drunk again?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head: "This scholar's ability to drink is poor, even if he swallows a sip of alcohol, he won't get drunk immediately, and it's not poison. Besides, I'm a martial artist, so I can circulate my qi and blood when I'm really drunk. Just force out the alcohol."

Smelling the aroma of the wine in front of him, he drank it without hesitation.

Immortal brewed entrance, aftertaste to taste.

It is indeed a rare fairy wine in the world, and it is more moving than the former tribute wine that I drank with Yan Chixia and Xia Houwu last time.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan felt the power of alcohol gushing out of his abdomen, and his whole body was boiling with blood, making people feel scorching hot.

"Pfft~!"

He was also like an ordinary person, and immediately fell asleep on the table, drunk and unconscious, and the result of Cheng Le and Zhou Cai was the same.

He who practiced martial arts all the year round could not resist this immortal brew.

"This, why are you all drunk?" The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw the three drunk, but he swallowed his saliva when he smelled the wine, as if he had never smelled such a fragrant wine.

"I don't know what kind of fine wine can produce such a rich aroma."

He looked at the jade pot on the table, which revealed a dark green shimmer, like a treasure, not something that should exist in the world.

And there were three jade cups upside down next to them, two jade cups were drank in one go, the other jade cup only drank half of the cup, and the remaining half cup was spilled on the table.

However, at the place where the wine was spilled, the wooden table was soaked in the wine and turned into emerald green jade.

"Shopkeeper, I heard from that young master that this wine is called Immortal Drunk." Seeing the shopkeeper's curiosity and suspicion, the servant reminded him in a low voice.

Fairy drunk?
The shopkeeper exclaimed: "This name is true. Maybe only the gods in the sky can taste such a beautiful wine. Ordinary people are all drunk after just one drink. Look at the wine glass and wine pot. Even so, not to mention the fine wine in it."

"It's rare to find fine wine from an immortal, why don't the shopkeeper secretly taste a cup?" said the boy.

The shopkeeper was a little bit moved at first, then shook his head and said: "This is something from this guest officer, how can I steal it, if it is really immortal wine, only people with good fortune can taste it, how dare a merchant like me covet immortal wine Niang, this will be retribution, and now these three guest officials are all drunk, what if you

Call two people to help them take them to the bedroom to rest, and pack up the remaining wine vessels, and put them in the son's room, and they must not be disturbed. "

"Yes, the shopkeeper." The boy replied.

After sending the three unconscious people into the bedrooms, the shopkeeper looked at the wooden table left by drinking, but couldn't help but praised: "This wooden table is sprinkled with half a cup of immortal wine, It is already a strange thing, enough to be handed down."

Immediately, he asked someone to carry the wooden table away and put it away, so that it would not be exposed to others.

Afterwards, it was as expected by the shopkeeper. Although the wooden table was simple and crude, but because half a glass of wine was sprinkled on it, it seemed that a piece of jasper was inlaid on it. generation, and left a legend.

According to legend, the ancestors opened a tea shop, and three immortals entered the tea shop to drink immortal wine. The three immortals were all drunk, and one immortal left half a cup of immortal wine and spilled it on the wooden table. Scattered and passed down to this day.

Of course, such legends have been sung in later generations, but now Li Xiuyuan, Cheng Le, and Zhou Cai don't know about it.

At this moment.

In the Town God's Temple outside Guobei City.

The blind Taoist stood on top of the temple, looked into the distance, and suddenly said: "The disciple of the poor Taoist has arrived in Changshou Town. It will be a matter of time before he enters the mountain gate. I hope he will gain something from this trip."

"Since you have learned Taoism, you will be successful if you teach it to me, so why bother to look far away?" Taoist Mu's voice sounded from the Town God's Temple at his feet, with a hint of doubt.

The blind Taoist shook his head and said: "Seeking the Dharma is only one of them. The most important thing is to cultivate the mind. For this, you have to go back to the mountain gate. The disciple of the poor Taoist has already achieved great power. He punishes evil spirits, kills Dongyue, and seizes divine power. He has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. There are so many people, their identities and status are quite different from those of the upright scholars before.
Every move can affect the trend of the world. "

"It's not difficult for him to govern the world, and it's not difficult for him to win the world. However, virtue needs to be coordinated. After fighting and fighting for a long time, his heart will inevitably change. Poor Dao is afraid that he will lose his heart and embark on a road that he can't even think of. Now, going north and entering Beijing is going to stir up the world. At this moment, Pindao asked him to go back to the mountain gate.

, It is not only seeking the Dharma, but also cultivating the mind. The [-]-day Qingxiu in the mountains can also erase some hostility. "

Taoist Mu pondered for a while and said, "Senior brother has a heart, but it's just that senior brother watched him grow up, why didn't he teach him self-cultivation since childhood? Isn't it too late to sharpen his gun before the battle?"

The blind Taoist smiled wryly; "How can Poor Tao teach him this? He is a born sage. He was born with knowledge, and he was born with Su Hui. His wisdom is no less than that of an adult. He is familiar with the past and the present. From his few words, he can even predict the past, present, and future." Things."

"There is such a thing?" Taoist Mu asked in surprise.

"Young heart, when we have been together for more than ten years, there is always a time when we talk about it. When he was three years old, he asked the poor Dao how long the Song Dynasty had established the country. When the poor Dao returned, he said that the country was about to fall. Workshops, creating escort bureaus, raising war horses, accumulating money and food, all actions are doing for the troubled times.

Be prepared, right now, the fortunes of the country are indeed in decline, and disasters are everywhere. "

The blind Taoist said: "The national destiny of the Great Song Dynasty is a secret. Isn't a high-ranking man in Longhushan counted as a national destiny? He was struck and killed by lightning, and he just got the secret. The catastrophe is coming, but he has known it since he was three years old, years earlier than the high-ranking people in Longhu Mountain, such poor saints from heaven
How dare you teach more?I had no choice but to hide my clumsiness, do less and make fewer mistakes. Even the little ghost passing by the Taoist temple and the poor Taoist did not dare to catch them, so I had to drive them away secretly. Can see ghosts. "

"Brother, brother, it's been hard, the past ten years have been stressful, do you understand?"

Said, a sad look.

"Junior brother understands, understands." Mu Taoist said with emotion.

The two old men have a feeling of sympathy for each other, and they both have stories, and the only difference is a glass of wine.

But Li Xiuyuan didn't know the situation here.

Early morning the next day.

He just woke up from his sleep.

But he saw himself lying in an unfamiliar room, not knowing where he was.

After a little thought, I remembered.

"By the way, I drank alcohol yesterday, and I passed out after drinking a glass of wine." Li Xiuyuan sat up, looked to the side, but saw that his jug of wine was still there.

"I really don't know if it's poison or fairy wine. Fortunately, this place is at the foot of the master's gate, and there are no evil spirits or thieves. Otherwise, if I get drunk all night and encounter accidents, it will be over."

Laughing at himself, he stretched out his hand and put the fairy wine into the ghost king's bag, then tidied up his clothes and went out.
