Chapter 429: Onmyoji
Soon, a middle-aged fat man with a lovely smile appeared in front of everyone, this guy was full of festive smiles, and he looked like a good man who was kind and wealthy, but there was a very large wine jug hanging from his waist.
Bai Chongshan introduced Chen Ning to Wei Qing and said: "This is Mr. Swallowing Wine, don't look at him as amazing, and he comes from a distant country, but his fine wine is really speechless." ”
The wine-swallowing boy greeted Chen Ning and Wei Qing with a smile on his face: "Hello Master Bai, hello guests." ”
Chen Ning didn't feel anything at first, but he accidentally found that Wei Qing seemed to frown slightly when he looked at the wine-swallowing boy, and a trace of doubt rose in Chen Ning's heart, and he looked at the wine-swallowing gentleman in front of him suspiciously. Soon, Chen Ning discovered that there was a trace of darkness on this guy's body.
Could it be that this bartender turned out to be a dark cultivator?
Chen Ning couldn't help but be wary of a little more in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little puzzled in his heart, logically speaking, a person of Bai Chongshan's status needs to keep a distance from a dark cultivator, why would Bai Chongshan find such a person to offer wine to the guests? Or was it that Bai Chongshan couldn't detect the faint dark aura on this wine-swallowing gentleman at all, Bai Chongshan only knew that this person's wine skills were extraordinary?
Bai Chongshan didn't notice the strange look in the depths of Chen Ning and Wei Qing's eyes, he said with a smile: "Mr. Swallowing Wine, I am very appreciative of the fine wine, can I be embarrassed today, take out the best drunken immortal brew, and give everyone a taste." ”
"Yes, Master Bai!"
The wine-swallowing boy agreed, and took the huge wine jug around his waist, and everyone now found that the wine jug was very heavy, and it was made of brass, and the outside of the wine jug was painted with lacquer, and those who did not know thought it was made of wood.
This wine pot can probably hold dozens of catties of wine, and even the pot with wine, I'm afraid it is close to two hundred catties.
But the fat man carried this wine jug as if he were carrying a small kettle, and it was effortless.
I saw him carrying the wine jug, and the scene was performed, sometimes the wine jug rotated around the body like the wind, sometimes the wine jug was thrown high, and then quickly caught it, so that everyone fully saw what it means to be a flexible fat man. On several occasions, he deliberately acted like he almost knocked over the wine jug, but he caught the wine jug at a critical moment, which provoked hundreds of guests at the scene, who couldn't help but applaud.
"Fairy Child Offering Wine!"
The wine-swallowing boy first poured a glass of wine for Bai Chongshan, the wine was pure and transparent, and the aroma was fragrant.
"The Tiger is coming down!"
The wine-swallowing boy played another trick and poured Wei Qing a glass of wine, a large wine jug of two hundred catties, which lifted the weight in his hand.
"Golden Rooster Independence!"
The wine-swallowing boy held the wine jug with both hands, his right foot was independent on one foot, making an independent posture of the golden rooster, and Chen Ning also poured a glass of wine.
Bai Chongshan couldn't help but be the first to applaud: "The chicken is too beautiful!"
The others also applauded and applauded.
The wine-swallowing boy used more than a dozen different moves to pour wine for Bai Chongshan's table of guests. Then he went to the other tables and began to pour wine for the other guests, but for the other guests, he was not so hard-working, and when he poured the wine, he also used the ordinary posture, and did not play acrobatics.
Bai Chongshan also raised his wine glass and invited everyone to drink: "Come, everyone toast." ”
When Chen Ning picked up the wine glass, he secretly noticed Wei Qing, only to see Wei Qing staring at the wine in the glass, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and then Chen Ning caught Wei Qing's palm holding the wine glass, and there was an almost impeccable force fluctuation.
After the force fluctuated, the wine in Wei Qing's wine glass seemed to be clearer, Wei Qing raised his head and drank the wine in one sip, and said with a smile: "The wine is good!"
Kan Jing picked up the wine glass with everyone and wanted to drink it too.
Chen Ning vaguely sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with the drink, but he wasn't sure, and Wei Qing didn't bring it up in person, he just suspected it, so he only kicked Kan Jing and signaled Kan Qing not to drink.
Kan Jing and Chen Ning are in love with each other, and they have been fighting side by side for so long, this tacit understanding is still there.
After being reminded by Chen Ning secretly kicked at the bottom of the table, she was slightly stunned, and then covered it with her sleeve, pretended to drink, and then secretly put the cup down.
Chen Ning didn't want to drink it, but he didn't expect that after Bai Chongshan toasted, he found that he and Kan Jing didn't toast, so he couldn't help but say, "Chen Xian's nephew, Miss Kan, why don't you toast?"
Suga said calmly: "Oh, I'm a little unwell, it's not suitable to drink, please forgive Master Bai." ”
When Bai Chongshan heard this, he thought that Kan Jing was on a period, so he didn't dare to force it, and only said to Chen Ning: "Nephew Chen Xian, shouldn't you be unwell?"
Chen Ning smiled: "Of course not!"
When he had finished speaking, he tilted his head and drained the wine from his glass.
The wine was indeed incomparably fragrant and luscious, but Chen Ning felt that while drinking the wine, he also seemed to have drunk something. However, when the wine went down, the demigod virus in his body, which was originally very calm, suddenly became agitated, and immediately all the fierce and vicious spirits poured into his stomach, and then frantically devoured the foreign matter in the wine.
Soon, the demigod virus devoured all the foreign objects in the drink, and then reverted to its previous lazy attitude.
Chen Ning was a little secretly frightened, he guessed that there must be something in this wine-swallowing boy's drink, even some kind of bad substance, or even some kind of bacteria or virus. The demigod virus in his body is a super virus, so the demigod virus cannot coexist peacefully with other viruses or toadstools, once any bad bacteria or toxins invade Chen Ning's body, the demigod virus in his body will devour all the intruders viciously.
Chen Ning suspected that there was a foreign substance in the wine, but seeing that Wei Qing did not express his opinion, and seeing that Bai Chongshan and the others drank the wine, there was nothing unusual, so he was a little uncertain. After all, some brewmasters, in order to make the drink more popular, will add something similar to the poisonous but can be used as medicine, just like some chefs like to add poppy husk soup to the dish when cooking, so that everyone who eats it is full of praise.
Chen Ning turned his head to look at the wine-swallowing boy again, and found that the other party was gone, and it was estimated that he had gone out.
After all, this wine master was only invited by Bai Chongshan to show off his hand and entertain a few VIPs.
However, although the wine-swallowing boy left, other fine wines have been served by the servants in a steady stream, and there are famous wines such as Autumn Dew White and Du Kang, and they are all treasures of a long year.
The banquet lasted for several hours, and everyone was slightly drunk, and then it ended.
Bai Chongshan saw that Chen Ning and Kan Jing were fine, but they were not drunk, especially Kan Jing, who basically didn't drink anything. However, Liu Ruyan and Chen Ning's team of pro-soldiers were all drunk.
And it's not early now, so Bai Chongshan directly asked Chen Ning and his party to live in an independent courtyard in Baifu.
There are three exquisite bedrooms in this courtyard, and there are five ordinary guest rooms on the periphery, and the three exquisite bedrooms are just living with Chen Ning, Kan Jing and Liu Ruyan, and Chen Ning's personal soldiers can live in the guest rooms on the periphery of the courtyard to protect Chen Ning and them.
Chen Ning actually bought a mansion in Vermilion Bird City for his ex-wife and daughter to live in.
But naturally he can't go there to live with Kan Jing, although Kan Jing will not have any opinions, but after all, Zhang Qian is his ex-wife, and Kan Jing is now his lover, if the two women meet, it will definitely be embarrassing.
In addition, Liu Ruyan and his own soldiers were a little drunk, and Chen Ning didn't bother to find other places to live, so he stayed in Baifu.
When he came to the courtyard, Kan Jing helped the drunk Liu Ruyan back to the guest room and lay down.
Then the two chatted for a few words, and Kan Jing asked Chen Ning: "Is there a problem with the drink tonight?"
Chen Ning shook his head: "I'm not sure either, but I always feel that something is wrong." ”
Kan Jing frowned: "Ah, I don't know if Liu Ruyan drank the water poured by Mr. Swallowing Wine himself?"
Chen Ning also frowned: "She didn't sit at the same table with us at the time, so I didn't even notice it." ”
Suga: "It's going to be okay, right?"
Chen Ning: "It shouldn't be fine, if it's poisonous, if you drink it for so long, the toxicity should also attack." ”
Kan: "Anyway, we have to pay attention to one thing. ”
Chen Ning nodded: "Hmm!"
The two chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
After Chen Ning lay down, he quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In a blur, I suddenly heard a flute sound faintly in my ears, and the flute sound seemed to be close and unstable.
Then, Chen Ning heard an almost inaudible sound outside.
Chen Ning opened his eyes suddenly, bounced up from the bed, and then opened the door and went out, and then saw Liu Ruyan, who was wearing a white pajamas, like a female ghost, walking into the courtyard with an expressionless face.
Click!
Someone in the next room also opened the door.,It's Suga.。
Kan Jing looked at Chen Ning and the sleepwalking Liu Ruyan in the courtyard not far away, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Chen Ning frowned: "I don't know, I seemed to hear an ethereal flute sound when I was asleep, and then I found Liu Ruyan like this." ”
Chen Ning said, he wanted to go over and shake Liu Ruyan awake.
But Suga suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, lowered his voice and said: "Don't, she seems to have been caught in the soul seduction technique of the Onmyoji of Fuso Maru Country, it is said that the person who is seduced by the soul will be lured out by the onmyoji with the sound of the flute in the middle of the night, and she can't forcibly wake up the person who is being seduced by the soul, if she is forcibly woken up, she may have to worry about her life." ”
Chen Ning's eyes were cold: "No wonder I noticed that Mr. Swallowing Wine had a vague aura on him, it seems that there is indeed a problem." Let's go, let's follow Liu Ruyan and see what tricks this Mr. Swallowing Wine wants to play!"
Liu Ruyan came to the gate of Baifu like a night tour, and several guards showed shocked expressions and wanted to stop her.
But Chen Ning and Kan Jing appeared, and Chen Ning lowered his voice: "Open the door, don't stop her, let her out." ”
Afraid of frightening the guards, Suga said, "She's sleepwalking and can't wake up." ”
The guards listened, and hurriedly opened the door, and Liu Ruyan walked out......
