Supreme Space Puppet Master

Chapter 52 Afternoon Letter (PK for collection)
There was no starlight in the pitch-black sky, but fortunately, the monk had sharp ears and eyes, and had the ability to see at night.

Jiang Xiaoli found a big tree, jumped up, lay down on the top of the tree, holding the plum blossom pendant in his hand, full of thoughts.

No one noticed that Jiang Xiaoli was no longer in the tent, and in the dark night, a black shadow flashed past.

Jiang Xiaoli was not too far away from the camp, just in time, he saw that sneaky figure, Jiang Xiaoli frowned slightly, jumped down, and chased after that sneaky shadow.

"What is he doing here?" Jiang Xiaoli wondered, "This is where Huayue lives, right?"

The man took out a very thin tube from the Qiankun bag and punctured Huayue's tent. Jiang Xiaoli's eyes sharpened and he shouted, "Who!"

The man turned around quickly and walked away.

Jiang Xiaoli stayed there in surprise, that gloomy look in his eyes...!
Lightning sparked in her mind, Jiang Xiaoli opened her eyes, she remembered!
Cold pool... Master Sheng... Furnace cauldron!
Someone in the Hua family wants to give Huayue to others as a furnace!

The movement here caught the attention of the Hua family's children, and the sixth elder was the first to rush over, looking around, "Xiao Li, what's wrong?"

"Grandpa Six, I just found out that someone is sneaking around here." Jiang Xiaoli pointed to the small hole in Huayue's tent and said to Elder Six.

Elder Six frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, Huayue looked down at the small hole in her tent, looked suspiciously at Jiang Xiaoli, and said, "What are you doing outside my tent without sleeping?"

That's right, Second Miss didn't sleep in the middle of the night, what did she do outside of Third Miss's tent?
"Can't sleep, let's take a walk outside." Jiang Xiaoli told the truth.

"Oh?" Elder Six looked at Jiang Xiaoli, "Did you find anything?"

Jiang Xiaoli paused, "That person ran away soon." She couldn't possibly tell that someone from the Hua family would give Huayue to someone else as a stove.

Huayue is the apple of the eye of the Hua family, I have no evidence to say so, I'm afraid no one will believe me.

No one believed it was the second thing, the problem was that it would be bad if it was startled, Jiang Xiaoli planned to investigate secretly, anyway, she had to go to the Holy Capital with the Sixth Elder after finishing the Guangling matter.

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't explain it clearly, but the next day, when Jiang Xiaoli was chatting with the Hua family's children, she inquired about it intentionally or unintentionally, but her heart sank.

The Hua family really has Sheng in its name.

Flowers bloom.

It is said that in the Hua family, apart from the young lady Huarong, the most prestigious person among the younger generation is this Huasheng.

Hua Sheng was originally a branch of the Hua family, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person who could stand out in family competitions.

Jiang Xiaoli wanted to remind Huayue, but couldn't find the right time.

Guangling City.

Guangling City is located in the eastern part of the Qianyuan Continent, leaving Meishan, heading north, another day later, Jiang Xiaoli and the Hua family team finally arrived at Guangling City.

Jiang Xiaoli knew that Mr. Jiang was proficient in martial arts since he was a child, but thinking about it now, Mr. Jiang should also be a monk, otherwise, how could he have been a priest in Meishan Village for so many years?

If Jiang Xiaoli was alone, it would be hard to find the Jiang family, but with the sixth elder of the Hua family around, everything became much easier.

Soon, Elder Hua Liu found out about the Jiang family.

It turned out that the Jiang family was in Guangling, a famous winemaking family, and also a cultivating family. In its heyday, the entire Jiuwang Street belonged to the Jiang family.

It's a pity that over the years, there are fewer and fewer descendants with good aptitude, and the Jiang family's reputation is getting weaker.

Fifty years ago, the Jiang family had a good seedling, but unfortunately it was as popular as it was, dazzling but short-lived.

I heard that it was because of a woman that most of her cultivation was abolished, and she has never been seen since.

Today, the Jiang family is in a quiet corner, and the entire Jiang family is concentrated in a remote corner of Jiuwang Street. Although they still make a living from wine making, the prestige of the wine king can no longer be seen on the door lintel.

Jiang Xiaoli stood alone at the gate of the Jiang family, but the people from the Hua family did not follow. This was Jiang Xiaoli's own intention, and the sixth head pondered for a moment before agreeing.

"Excuse me, girl, who are you looking for?" The old man pushed to look at the gate of Jiang's house. There was no restriction on the door, and there was a dilapidated atmosphere. "Miss, are you here to buy wine?"

He saw that the girl had been standing at the door for a long time, but she neither knocked nor said to leave, so the old man had no choice but to come out and open the door by himself.

The corners of Jiang Xiaoli's eyes were wet, and the old man in front of him was blurred, and he could still see the shadow of Mr. Jiang.

Jiang Xiaoli didn't say anything, just handed the plum blossom pendant to the old man who opened the door.

The old man looked at Jiang Xiaoli strangely, his cloudy eyes slowly fell on Jiang Xiaoli's outstretched hand, his old eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't say anything, he hurriedly called Jiang Xiaoli Entered Jiang's house.

The Jiang family is a winemaking family, and the familiar aroma of wine pervades the air, and Jiang Xiaoli feels a sense of intimacy that he has not seen for a long time.

After listening to Jiang Xiaoli's words, the old man wiped the wet corners of his eyes tremblingly, "Son, the old man is your grandpa's elder brother, you can call the old man grandpa."

"Grandpa." Jiang Xiaoli's voice choked slightly.

"Oh, let's talk about your grandpa." Patriarch Jiang still smiled bitterly when he recalled what happened back then, "Our Jiang family's ancestors also had a great power. Our ancestors settled in Guangling City and have been making wine for a living. Back then, our Jiang family It was also in its heyday, and at that time, the entire Jiuwang Street belonged to our Jiang family!" Sighed, "It's just that although our family's children make good wine, the younger generation with good cultivation qualifications are getting better and better. few."

Patriarch Jiang looked at Jiang Xiaoli, and smiled wryly, "Your grandfather is four-time, and he was talented since childhood. At that time, the Jiang family put all their hopes on him, but..." Patriarch Jiang paused, "It's a pity, For a woman, the fourth child ruined his future."

A trace of sadness flashed in Jiang Xiaoli's eyes. On the night when the Jiang family was on fire, the girl that grandpa talked about to her must be the woman that grandpa was talking about.

Jiang Xiaoli couldn't say much about the previous events.

"Grandpa, Xiaoli came here this time just to bring grandpa's belongings with him, so that grandpa can be buried in peace." Jiang Xiaoli wiped away his tears.

"Sigh." Patriarch Jiang sighed softly, and looked at Jiang Xiaoli with relief, "It should be, the fourth brother can rest in peace with such a sensible granddaughter as Xiaoli."

Patriarch Jiang agreed very readily. Although the Jiang family is in decline, when Jiang Xiaoli proposed to build a tomb for Mr. Jiang, Patriarch Jiang did not refuse. Regardless of the past, Mr. Jiang is always a descendant of the Jiang family.

At this moment, the housekeeper of Jiang's family hurried in, regardless of whether Patriarch Jiang was receiving guests or not, he quickly whispered in Patriarch Jiang's ear.

Seeing his housekeeper being so disrespectful, Patriarch Jiang felt a little uncomfortable, but the more he listened to the housekeeper's words, the more his old brows frowned.

"Too much deception, too much deception!" Patriarch Jiang suddenly stood up, his face as old as an orange peel was full of anger, and he circled back and forth like ants on a hot pot.

"Grandpa." Jiang Xiaoli was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Patriarch Jiang paused, and was about to speak when he saw the butler's disapproving eyes.

"There's nothing you can't say, Xiao Li is not an outsider." Patriarch Jiang glanced at the restless butler, and sighed again, "By the way, Ah Fu, I forgot to tell you, this girl is the granddaughter of the fourth child. "

Fourth Master?

The butler looked at Jiang Xiaoli in surprise, that's right, if the fourth master is still here, how could it be the grandchildren's turn to dance there!

The head of the Jiang family told the housekeeper about Mr. Jiang, and the light in the housekeeper's eyes gradually dimmed, "What should I do?"

Jiang Xiaoli frowned, what happened?

"Xiao Li, you have also seen that the current Jiang family is worse than every year." The head of the Jiang family sat back down and patted the desk, "The Zhou family is getting tighter and tighter. They all belong to our Jiang family, and now there is only this winery left in the Jiang family, but the Zhou family still thinks it’s not enough, so we have to force our Jiang family to die!”

Zhou family?

Jiang Xiaoli frowned slightly, could it be Brother Zhou's Zhou family?Brother Zhou said that he was from Guangling, so it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Grandpa, what's going on?" Jiang Xiaoli asked.

The head of the Jiang family just sighed, the housekeeper took over the conversation, and said to Jiang Xiaoli: "Miss Xiaoli doesn't know that this Jiuwang Street will hold a wine fighting meeting every three years."

Wine fight meeting?

"Although none of our Jiang family's cultivation is very high." The head of the Jiang family blushed when he said this. He is only at the foundation stage at such an old age. "But in the wine fighting meeting, our Jiang family has always been the champion."

Jiang Xiaoli was even more strange, since the Jiang family is the well-deserved king of wine, why should Grandpa and the others be so worried?
"However, more than 20 years ago, the Zhou family changed its head, and the new head was very ambitious. The first thing he did was to monopolize Jiuwang Street." The head of the Jiang family was furious, and his desk slapped loudly, "The Zhou family just wanted to see that our Jiang family did not have high-ranking officials. Cultivator, just take advantage of the power to bully others, send someone to steal the wine recipe from our house, and still have to falsely accuse our Jiang family of stealing his Zhou family's recipe, what the hell!"

The butler couldn't help it anymore, clenched his fists and said angrily: "This time the Zhou family went too far, leaving the gauntlet at our door, and running outside to spread rumors without saying anything. What's even more shameless is that the gauntlet mentioned, If the Jiang family can't beat the Zhou family in this year's wine fight, they will move out of Jiuwang Street!"

The head of the Jiang family did not let Jiang Xiaoli fight the Zhou family, after all, in his eyes, Jiang Xiaoli was still a child in his teens.

No matter how good the fourth child's brewing skills are, Jiang Xiaoli is a teenager, how much can she be expected to learn?

Three days later, the wine fight meeting officially began.

The wine fighting meeting is held on Jiuwang Island, Jiuwang Island, which is a series of floating islands floating on Jiuwang Street.

The Doujiu Island in the center is the largest, and there are countless large and small floating islands around it. They are actually platforms, floating above the Doujiu Island.

Jiuwang Street was crowded with people. Although Jiang’s island was not arranged in the most remote place, it was not close to Doujiu Island. When Jiang’s family was prosperous in the past, there was a time when Jiang’s family was prosperous, and the one that was not the closest to Dojiu Island was used for a wine fighting meeting. table?

Jiang Xiaoli listened to Patriarch Jiang's broken thoughts, at this moment, Jiang Xiaoli saw a monk holding a huge gourd and slowly landed on Doujiu Island.

"That man's name is Liu Shiming, he is the one who hosts every wine fight meeting." Seeing doubts in Jiang Xiaoli's eyes, Patriarch Jiang explained.

Jiang Xiaoli nodded lightly, but none of this had much to do with her. The Jiang family's elder son, the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang Feng, was the Jiang family's young master Jiang Feng. According to his seniority, Jiang Xiaoli had to call him uncle.

Liu Shiming has a fat face and a round waist, he looks very bulky, but in fact he has the cultivation base of the golden core stage, no one dares to underestimate him.

The flying gourd became extremely small in Liu Shiming's hands, and Liu Shiming grabbed it and played with it.

"Dear friends, the triennial wine fighting conference is about to begin again." Liu Shiming was using his spiritual energy, and no one in the entire Jiuwang Street could not hear Liu Shiming shouting like a bell, "As in previous years, this year's wine fighting conference will be divided into two parts. It is the three major links of wine comparison, wine competition and wine recognition."

"Okay, I won't waste everyone's time, the wine fight meeting." Liu Shiming chuckled, "It's officially started!"

The wine comparison is easy to understand, that is, the best wine in the family will be brought up, and will be selected by these elderly people in Jiuwang Street.

Liu Shiming clapped his hands lightly, and many graceful female cultivators flew from all directions, their clothes fluttering like fairies, with a veil on their faces, which added a bit of mystery.

There was a wolf light in the eyes of the male cultivators present, and they screamed, Huayue seemed to look down at herself, then gave the group of female cultivators a hard look, and muttered in a low voice, "Shameless!"

The Hua family had nothing to do in Guangling City. Seeing that the Jiang family was going to participate in the wine fight meeting, they naturally had a good meal with the sixth elder. The sixth elder was very grateful for the Jiang family who raised Jiang Xiaoli and readily agreed with the Hua family. The children watched the Guangling Wine King Street Fighting Competition.

Those female nuns landed lightly, each holding a tray in their hands, but the tray was covered with a blue enchantment, making it hard to see whose wine it was.

Jiang Xiaoli turned his head in doubt, Jiang Jiazhu saw this and explained: "In order to ensure the fairness of the wine fight, each family's wine is packed in a special wine bottle, and there is a special brand on the tray. After the wine fight is over, Liu Shiming I will personally lift the restrictions on those brands, and then I will know who won the wine competition."

"It's just..." Patriarch Jiang frowned tightly, "Every year, all the people who participate in the wine fighting meeting are new wines from that year, but this time the Jiang family is going to rush, I'm afraid it's..."

Jiang Xiaoli's heart sank. Although Patriarch Jiang didn't continue, Jiang Xiaoli also knew that this wine fight was very important to Jiang's family. If he lost, he would not only have to move out of Jiuwang Street, but also Guangling City would be bad in the future. foothold.

Liu Shiming smiled and said: "Dear friends, there are a total of 98 companies participating in the wine fighting meeting this time, and here are all of them. Now, please invite a taster."

Several connoisseurs flew down to Doujiu Island. When Patriarch Jiang saw it, his eyes widened and he said angrily, "Why is there him!"

Jiang Feng was also impatient, "Daddy, this is not fair, don't we know if others don't know? Although Wang Tianfu doesn't believe in Zhou, he is Zhou Huairen's wife and brother!"

Zhou Huairen is the head of the Zhou family and the father of Zhou Bingchang.
