Chapter 191: Pool of Paper
Layers of cumbersome thoughts came to his mind, and what was once a delicious dinner whetted his appetite was now like chewing wax.
He Xiu suddenly wanted to drink a little wine, and he hadn't touched it for several days.
I don't know when he actually fell in love with the taste of wine.
He even regretted now that he hadn't had a good drink when he was in Qiman Town.
Now that he was addicted to alcohol, he felt like 10,000 ants crawling aimlessly on his body, and every part of his body was extremely painful, and when he reached out to grab it, he felt that there was no place anywhere.
It's late at night, and I haven't slept yet.
He got up, put on a cloak, and walked out with his shoes on.
There was an eight-pillared pavilion in the courtyard of the main hall, but instead of sitting in it, he jumped and sat on the top.
The evening breeze blew across his cheeks, making the cloak rustle and flutter wildly.
He looked at the strange and familiar surroundings around him, which he used to quench his gluttony.
The scenery here is very different from the one he lives in, although it is only separated by a few courtyards, it is like the difference between heaven and earth.
The original purpose of his coming here was to learn something, and he didn't think about competing with others for anything, fame and fortune were nothing more than the past for him.
But now the responsibility is on his shoulders, and whether to pick or not is no longer something he can control.
Fortunately, I tried a workout in Qiman Town, and competed with Guo, Chang, and Wednesday in business, although I didn't achieve an overwhelming victory, but more or less, I accumulated a lot of experience in my heart.
It was all like fate.
In this case, he was not too anxious, only a little nervous.
However, none of this is nothing.
The most important thing is what the old man Zhu explained to himself.
In fact, he also wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find the old man bamboo.
This may also be the conspiracy of the old man Zhu, who deliberately entrusted him with that matter in the form of a letter when he was leaving, for fear of being rejected by himself.
But according to his own strength, it is easy to do this.
What I don't understand is why he entrusted this matter to himself.
"Old man bamboo, old man bamboo, you have made me miserable. He took out the bell from his arms, looked at it, and said: "Bell, bell, the old man said that you are an ancient artifact, but why don't I look at you at all?"
"Boom!"
A thunderclap rang out.
He Xiu unexpectedly entered the inside of the bell again.
Just like the first time, the bell is still in his hand, but it has gone deep into the bell, which is really interesting.
Anyway, he couldn't sleep, and he didn't have a ring carving to take advantage of, so he couldn't do it in a short time if he wanted to look around, so he took a walk and walked inside.
There are no weeds and rocks inside the bell, so I don't have to worry about tripping, so I just close my eyes and walk around in no direction.
I don't know how long it has been, he opened his eyes, looked around, and there was nothing unusual, so he closed his eyes and continued walking.
Suddenly, the bell rang in his hand, and then he rolled out of his hand violently.
He Xiu hurried to catch up.
The bell was still rolling down, and he saw a pool of water.
The bell was rolling towards the pool.
This discovery surprised him, and his whole body became excited.
This pool of water looks extremely ordinary, as if it is as thin as a piece of paper, and when you reach down, you feel bottomless.
There are no flowers or plants in the pond, as if they have just formed.
He Xiu tried to scoop a scoop with his hand and licked it shallowly with his tongue, making sure that it was no different from fresh water.
If he hadn't tasted it himself, he would have thought it would be sweet water.
Then he picked up the bell and said to it, "What did you bring me here for? Do you think I'm thirsty?"
He smirked and continued, "If you really want to help me, turn me into a pool of wine......
Before the words landed, a fragrant smell of wine came.
He sniffed sharply and looked at the pool.
In surprise, he scooped another scoop with his hand, and licked it slightly with his tongue.
And so the magic happened.
The freshwater pool turned into a wine pool.
"Haha, that's incredible, isn't it?" He laughed alone.
The wine in front of me is very pure and strong, and it is very sweet, which is very different from the common wine.
He was also conceited that he had drunk many kinds of wine, but this was the first time he had smelled or tasted it.
He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, licked his lips, and almost couldn't help jumping in and drinking to his heart's content.
Although there was no one behind him, he still looked behind him with a weak heart.
Even he thought it was very funny, and couldn't help but laugh.
The more he struggled, the stronger the smell of alcohol became, as if he was deliberately seducing him.
At this time, he threw the rules behind him and plunged into it.
"Boom!"
His head hit the bell ground.
The wine pool is gone!
He clearly felt that the moment he entered the wine pool, his clothes were completely soaked.
"Strange, that's what happened. He touched the large blood bag that came out of his forehead and touched the ground with his hands.
The floor is completely free of water stains and is extremely dry!
Touch the placket again, it's still dry!
"No, did you run into a ghost?"
Suddenly, two palm-sized golden characters floated above his head, like two firecrackers, hanging in the sky out of thin air.
The left column reads: Heavenly selection is auspicious, a hundred years of reincarnation, need to wait.
The right column reads: There are great talents in the land, and thousands of layers are born out of cocoons, so you must be calm.
He looked at these two columns of words and slowly lost his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but these two columns of words disappeared in a fluttering manner.
Just a second after the two lines of words completely disappeared, he was soaked in the wine pool.
The wine jar entered his ears, like a pot of boiling water, which made him sober up immediately.
"Yes, since ancient times, all those who have become great talents have endured thousands of difficulties and endured great temptations, and I must learn from them with all my heart, and not be greedy for enjoyment, and be quick for a while. ”
The thought crossed his mind, and the pool turned back into a freshwater pool.
"Sizzle...... Could it be that this pool of water can be turned into any kind of liquid according to my imagination?" He tilted his head and thought to himself, "Or are you testing my concentration?"
So much so that he was no longer surprised by the two lines that appeared.
When he came into contact with Xuangong, he learned that there are many phenomena in the world that cannot be explained and understood.
Fortunately, those two lines appeared in time, otherwise, I would have broken the vows.
Xuanchu Academy has a clear rule that all disciples of the academy are not allowed to drink alcohol, otherwise they will be expelled from the academy.
This rule has caused many people to see that the wine is running away.
They really don't want to lose their biggest purpose in life for the sake of a sip of wine.
Among them, there are many people who can't stand the wine and have secretly drunk it, but He Xiu now believes that paper will never be able to contain fire.
One day, they will have an incident.
He slowly climbed up, took off his clothes and wrung them out, and laid them on the ground haphazardly, and fell into deep thought again.
His figure beckoned on this pool of water, and he had never looked at himself so seriously.
He said to himself: "You are now a senior brother, no matter whether you can sit down in the future or not, from now on, you must have strong self-discipline, otherwise I will cut off one of your fingers if you violate the regulations once." ”
"Wahaha, shake your head silly boy, congratulations on passing the first level!"
Suddenly, the voice of the old man Zhu came from nowhere.
He Xiu's heart was overjoyed, he sat up suddenly, turned his head back and forth, and asked, "Old man Zhu, is it you?
"Wahaha, say that you are shaking your head stupid boy, you haven't changed at all, isn't Lao Tzu who is it?"
He Xiu was very happy and asked, "Old man Zhu, where are you?" Come out quickly and meet me, I have a lot of questions to ask you." ”
"Wahaha, shake your head silly boy, who is Lao Tzu, can you see it casually?"
He Xiu smiled: "Old man Zhu, you won't be so uninteresting, you asked me to come here, and now you left me alone, aren't you afraid that I will pat my ass and leave?"
"Wahaha, shake your head silly boy, you don't have to provoke Lao Tzu like this, did Lao Tzu say that he will not care about you? It's just that now is not the time, you can bear with it for a few more days. ”
He Xiu cried and laughed: "I feel more and more that I fell for you now, and I really regret meeting such a bad old man as you now." ”
"Hey, hey, hey, shake your head silly boy, Lao Tzu has never forced you, his feet are growing on you, you can go whenever you want, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu will choose someone else. ”
He Xiu grabbed his head and smiled: "Look at you old man, I told you that you were still serious, then you refused to show up, you can always point me a few tricks." ”
"Wahaha, shake your head silly boy, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm a weird learner, but it's a pity that Lao Tzu has nothing to point out. ”
I was still crying and laughing just now, but now it has completely turned into crying, and I almost burst into tears: "Old man Zhu, I came to this place alone, you should also leave me something, at least you can't let me lose my life, right?"
He Xiu looked around expectantly, but Old Man Zhu's voice didn't come out for a long time, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately shouted, "Old Man Zhu, are you still there?"
After a long, long time, I still didn't hear the old man's reply.
"Hey, old man bamboo, don't joke with me, come out quickly. ”
After a long time, I still couldn't hear the answer from the old man.
This made him annoyed: "Old man bamboo, you play with me? Or don't come out, since you came out, why don't you see me, oh, I forgot, you are a complete turtle with a shrunken head......"
He pinched his waist and scolded for a long time, until he was out of breath.
Now he was sure that the old man Zhu was indeed gone.
Because according to the temper of the old man Zhu, when he heard someone scolding him, he would definitely come out and teach him a lesson.
What's more, this person is still He Xiu, he knows most about some of the troubles of the old man Zhu, and what he said just now has not been less exposed, his previous troubles.
