Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 126 Father and Son Reunion

"My lord, you really can't drink any more!" The hotel owner persuaded earnestly.

"How many times have I told you that you will never lose money, just bring all the best wine here!" Su Ji slapped the golden shell stolen from Jingyang on the table.

The hotel owner looked at Jin Bei with a bitter expression on his face. "It's not a matter of money. Young Master has drunk enough now."

Su Ji's face suddenly darkened, "Boss, you are too underestimating people. I only drank five cups just now, how could I drink too much? Is this how you treat guests in the largest hotel in the capital? "

The owner of the hotel looked at Jin Bei and said with embarrassment: "It's not that I underestimate the young master's drinking capacity, and it's not that I don't want to sell wine to the young master, but I just don't want to kill the young master!"

"You don't want to hurt me?" Su Ji took a breath, then looked at the empty wine glass, "Is there poison in your wine?"

As soon as the words fell, all the guests in the hotel looked towards Su Ji!
The hotel owner quickly made a silent gesture to Su Ji, lowered his voice and said, "My lord, don't ruin my business. Our store is full of the best wine in the world, how could it be poisonous?"

Su Ji asked impatiently, "Then what do you mean?"

The hotel owner took a step back, looked Su Ji up and down, and sighed: "My lord, you must not be a local, please look this way..."

As he spoke, the owner of the hotel pointed to a notice on the wall next to it, on which were clearly written eight big characters: "We offer wine every week and five times, and those who pass it will be punished!" It means that no matter whether it is at a banquet or in private, drinking once Anyone who exceeds five cups will be executed. This prohibition on alcohol can be described as very strict.

Su Ji rubbed the empty wine glass in agitation, as if she wanted to smash the glass into pieces.He always felt that the reason why the Zhou royal family was able to seize the world from King Zhou of Shang must be grateful for three crucial points: first, to thank Su Daji who confused King Zhou; second, to thank the resourceful Jiang Taigong; It is "wine".

In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, everyone from princes and nobles to ordinary people liked to drink alcohol.King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty also built the world-famous "Wine Pond Meat Forest", which used wine as a pool to drink all night; hung meat as a forest, and made men and women chase after it naked, in order to please his beloved concubine Su Daji.Therefore, the prosperity of "wine" undoubtedly played a certain corrosive effect on the Shang Dynasty and promoted the demise of the Shang Dynasty.

However, such a great hero who contributed so much to end up being banned, really has to make Su Ji sigh.

Looking at the prohibition order, Su Ji frowned and said, "Which grandson stipulated this?"

"Duke Zhou."

"Which Duke of Zhou?"

"The Duke of Zhou is the fourth son of King Wen of Zhou, also called Ji Dan."

"Eggs?" Su Ji seemed a little drunk, as if he had heard the name before.

"Ji Dan is the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, who assisted King Wu in destroying the Shang Dynasty more than 200 years ago. Later, King Wu died of illness, and the princes from all over the country heard of King Wu's death, and rebelled. , put down Guan Shu, Cai Shu and Shang Zhou's son Wu Yin who were in trouble, and stabilized the overall situation of the world. Zhou Gong was in charge for seven years, and later devoted himself to making rituals and music, and established various laws and regulations for Da Zhou. Prohibition of alcohol is the most important One of the decrees. The Duke of Zhou was worried that the ministers of the Zhou family would drink too much like they did in the Shang Dynasty and be neglected in political affairs, so he first announced the prohibition of alcohol in Chaoge, and then the prohibition of alcohol was implemented in various places..."

Hearing the word "Chaoge", Su Ji remembered that he had indeed heard about the prohibition of alcohol when he was in Chaoge, but the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and he was a son of an official, so he did countless lawless things.However, it is different now, the city of Haojing is at the feet of the emperor.People under the eaves had to bow their heads.

At this time, the drunkenness gradually dissipated, and Su Ji regained his composure. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you talking about the Duke of Zhou in "The Interpretation of Dreams by Duke Zhou?"

"Exactly."

Su Ji's eyes were lowered, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of awe.He remembered that when Li Rumei was teaching nightmare art in Jinglian Cave Mansion, she said that the "Dream Interpretation Art" taught by Chanjiao and the "Green Spirit Nightmare Art" taught by Jiejiao were also called the two major thaumaturgy of Xuanmen.The technique of interpreting dreams is far more famous than the technique of Qingling Nightmare, because it can predict good or bad luck from dreams, so it has been widely spread among the people.

At this moment, the hotel owner glanced at Jin Bei on the table, then glanced at the other guests in the hotel, leaned over and whispered in Su Ji's ear:
"In the past, it's okay for you to drink a few more glasses. However, the emperor Zhou has been in a bad mood recently. I advise you to keep your head and wait for the gust of wind to pass before drinking. If you really want to drink, you can buy it back. Go home and drink in the dark by yourself."

The hotel owner talked for a long time, but what Su Ji was more concerned about was not drinking, but another matter.

"You said that Emperor Zhou is in a bad mood, is it because the princess is sick?"

"That's right. The concubine's illness has not lasted for a day or two. If you want to talk about this illness..."

The hotel owner stopped in the middle of speaking, and stared straight at the door.

Su Ji rolled his eyes, followed his gaze, and found that an old man with yellow hair walked into the door, it was the Taoist with yellow eyebrows.

Seeing Taoist Huangmei come in, the hotel owner put Su Jiliang here without hesitation, trotting forward to greet him, as if he wanted to invite him to the best position.

But Taoist Huangmei completely ignored the hotel owner, walked towards Su Ji, and greeted warmly:
"Master Xuanling Pavilion, you have made it difficult for the poor to find him."

Su Ji glanced at him and said, "I heard that you have surrendered to Chanjiao, why are you looking for me now?"

"It's not a surrender. Pindao is originally a person who interprets the teachings, just like Miss Mu is a chess piece for the Jiejiao sect to explain the teachings, and I am the one for the Chanjiao sect to intercept the teachings. Besides, the person who is looking for you today is not only I, and a big man..."

In the voice, Taoist Huangmei looked towards the door, only to see an elderly scribe in official robes walking outside.

In an instant, the eyes of the drinkers were all attracted, some of them put down their chopsticks and stood up, bowing to the old scribe one after another.

Seeing that friendly figure, Su Ji couldn't help breathing quickly.He recognized at a glance that the old scribe was his father, Xibo Jifu.Although he is over half a hundred years old, his handsome features are still exceptionally distinct, and his personable demeanor remains the same as before.

Xibo Jifu had almost the same expression when he saw Su Ji, only his eyes were different.The surprise in his eyes was less cordial, and there was more doubt and bewilderment. It was not like seeing a long-lost son, but like seeing a stranger who seemed to have known him before.

From his father's eyes, Su Ji already knew that his father had lost all memories of himself.For Xibo Jifu now, Su Ji is just a strange young man who looks a lot like him when he was young.

Slowly coming to Su Ji, Xibo Jifu asked politely:

"Your Excellency must be the Master of the Xuanling Pavilion?"

Su Ji nodded, and said sadly, "Your Excellency is Mr. Jifu."

The astonishment in Xibo Jifu's eyes was even stronger.Taoist Huangmei didn't introduce him, but this young man he had never met before recognized him at a glance, which was beyond his expectation.

Although he met Xibo Jifu a few months ago, facing his father at this moment, Su Ji felt a long-lost feeling, and the one-year agreement with Qingli suddenly echoed in his mind:
"I will wait for you in Zhoudu Haojing in a year's time. If you can't kill me then, take your beloved things away..."

Su Ji's favorite thing in Haojing City is undoubtedly the only one thing, and that is the father-son relationship with Xibo Jifu.

Could it be that Qing Li is going to kill his father again like he did more than 30 years ago?
Thinking of this, Su Ji couldn't help clenching his fists slightly.He shook his head, the matter must be more than that simple, not long after he arrived in Haojing, Xibo Jifu came here out of nowhere, it must not be a pure coincidence.

Xibo Jifu showed a polite smile and asked Su Ji: "I heard that the pavilion master likes to drink. I just know a place where I can drink as much as I want. I wonder if the pavilion master is interested?"

Su Ji closed his eyes slightly, and responded in a polite tone: "I don't know where Master Jifu is talking about?"

Xibo Jifu smiled lightly, and answered four words: "The Palace of the Son of Heaven."
