Qin Chuan was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Lao Dao was going to unseal this osmanthus age, kept his halazi, trotted into Lao Dao's room and asked, "Move one altar or two altars?"

Hearing Qin Chuan shouting to himself, Lao Dao replied: "Leave a little base, but don't drink it all." Let's start with two altars. ”

Lao Dao's room was extremely simple, except for a wooden bed, a lot of yellow table paper and books, and other than that, there was nothing else. At the bottom of the wooden bed, there is the previously sealed osmanthus wine, which is full of piles at the bottom of the bed.

This osmanthus aging, a jar is four catties.

Qin Chuan heard that the old Taoist said to move two altars, so he lay under the bed, first knocked on the wine jar, listened to the echo with great care, and then smelled close to the mouth of the altar, looking at this aged osmanthus wine, which wine jar has a stronger fragrance, thought about it for a long time, and finally took the two jars at random, one left and one right in his arms, and ran out.

The osmanthus wine brewed before, the mouth of the altar has been sealed with yellow mud, after several years, the yellow mud at the mouth of the altar has signs of cracking, and there is a faint smell of wine.

Seeing this, Lao Dao also swallowed his saliva and said, "Go, get some firewood." ”

Qin Chuan went to the kitchen to pick up some pine needles and other fire-starting things, and picked up a few fir trees to this courtyard, the two of them were next to the green ash jar, built up stones, lit a fire, first put a jar of osmanthus wine directly on it to heat, Qin Chuan saw that the fire was not big, and was ready to go to the kitchen to get some firewood, Lao Dao stopped: "Don't worry, rabbit cub, this osmanthus wine, it is good to warm it slowly, if you are too anxious, it will naturally destroy the taste, and it will be difficult to drink at that time." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he wiped his nose and said, "Okay, according to what you said, there are still some fried peanuts in this kitchen, so let's be an alcoholic today." ”

Lao Dao nodded and said, "It's still the rabbit cub who thinks thoughtfully, go ahead, remember to take two bowls." ”

In the blink of an eye, a plate of fried peanuts was served, and the surface was oily and very attractive.

Qin Chuan asked anxiously beside him, "Okay, when can the altar be opened?" ”

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so wait a while. Lao Dao ate a peanut and chewed it slowly.

In the eyes of Lao Dao and Qin Chuan, the osmanthus wine of this Taoist temple is not inferior to the wine brewed by a century-old wine shop. Qin Chuan has also drunk a lot of osmanthus wine elsewhere, and compared with the wine of the Taoist temple, it is always half a point less flavorful. Some are more than floral, but not strong enough, and some are acceptable, but no fragrance.

Qin Chuan asked Lao Dao: "The wine of our Taoist temple seems to be different from other places, sometimes it tastes sweeter than honey, sometimes it is stronger than ordinary wine, even the aroma of this wine is different, sometimes rich, sometimes light, so the taste of each jar is different, but each jar is not addictive, you say, are you not the same material you put every time." ”

When Lao Dao heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly: "If you ask me about this osmanthus wine, it is actually no different from other places, it is osmanthus, rock sugar, wolfberry, and a little other spirit, which can be obtained ordinarily, if you say that the taste is different......" Lao Dao paused, took another bite of peanuts and said: "Naturally, each jar is different, because the weight of my material is different every time, there are many osmanthus flowers in several jars, and there are many spirits in several jars. ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, thinking that if he got this old Taoist brewing recipe in his hands, he would be able to have one more craft in the future, and he could brew it himself when he was hungry, so as not to find his old friend in the future, so he left Qin Chuan alone in the Taoist temple, there was no osmanthus wine at that time, it was really difficult.

After all, the osmanthus wine of this Taoist temple, in his heart, is incomparable to other famous wines.

Now listening to this old Taoist explanation, it seems that the practice of osmanthus wine in this Taoist temple is not used with the side, it should be because the osmanthus of this Taoist temple is more aura, and the proportion of dilute mud is better.

With the heating of the firewood, there were already bursts of wine fragrance coming out through the yellow mud, and the crack of the yellow mud in this altar gradually became larger.

Lao Dao squinted his eyes, took a hard breath of the wine in the air and said, "At this time, open the altar." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he didn't care about the hot mouth of the altar, so he took a branch and poked open the yellow mud that sealed the altar, and the bottom layer of the yellow mud was covered with a layer of cloth.

Qin Chuan shouted: "Open the altar." Then he picked up the cloth, and the smell of wine filled the courtyard.

Lao Dao smelled the aroma of wine, and was even more energetic, and couldn't help but praise it: "Good wine, good wine." With yellow teeth, he looked motionlessly in the direction of the wine jar.

Qin Chuan was anxious, took off the cloth he was wearing, picked up the wine jar, and poured it towards the wine bowl, Lao Dao reminded beside him: "Rabbit cub, be careful, don't spill it." ”

"Yes, yes. Qin Chuan replied while pouring wine: "Rotten boiled sunflower soup and guijiu, it's a pity that the romance is in the barbarian village." The genius of this world writes this osmanthus wine, and it is really good. ”

When the old Taoist heard this, he said: "The genius in this world should not be underestimated." A person with a clever tongue can also kill invisibly. There are sorcerers in the world who have stirred up many disputes, affecting several regions, and many people have been displaced, but they have watched from the top. ”

Qin Chuan asked curiously: "Then this kind of person, how about settling accounts after the autumn?"

Lao Dao shook his head: "These so-called strategists have already thought of a way out, no matter whether they succeed or fail, they will leave like that shadow, and once they enter the rivers and lakes as deep as the sea, how can they find them casually?"

Qin Chuan asked, "Then this Vertical and Horizontal Magician, avoid him." ”

Lao Dao smelled the aroma of wine and said: "If you can avoid him, then he is not a strategist." This martial arts rivers and lakes are like the chessboard, some people use the power of the whole country as chess pieces, and some people use decades of cultivation as chess pieces, but in the end, if it does not conform to the wishes of the people behind the scenes, it can be abandoned at any time. The so-called suzerain, the so-called temple, is just to add wedding clothes for others. ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he said very blankly: "What kind of behind-the-scenes? What chess game? I didn't drink anything, so I started chattering, don't think about those headaches, come, let's drink him today and get drunk." ”

Wine, it's really good wine.

In the snow-white bowl wall, there is a slight yellowing of the wine color, there are a lot of osmanthus floating on it, and there are wolfberries, because the weather is getting colder, there is a faint white vapor rising, with the continuous heating of the firewood, the aroma of the wine continues to overflow.

A peanut, a sip of osmanthus wine, a good season in the world, nothing to worry about.

Lao Dao wiped his beard with the cuffs of his shabby robe, and said thoughtfully: "I have also brewed a lot of osmanthus wine in the capital before, and I never thought that this osmanthus wine was delicious, and it was naturally not as good as the wine sold in the wine shop next to it, but then the people who drank together left, and this osmanthus wine was drunk a little, and I was drunk a few times, but I couldn't drink the taste of the year." Until I came to this temple, I saw that there were many osmanthus trees next to me, and I thought that it must be good to use it to make wine, and sure enough, it tasted very good. ”

Qin Chuan was anxious to drink, although he blew a breath, he was still burned, he just took a sip, and he was already satisfied: "Previously, this osmanthus wine could only be drunk in winter, but now it can be drunk in autumn, don't be a flavor." ”

Lao Dao said: "Yes, autumn osmanthus wine, the taste is very strong." ”

Lao Dao's face gradually flushed, obviously the osmanthus wine was a little up, Qin Chuan knew that the amount of wine in Lao Dao was not good, although this osmanthus wine was fragrant, it was not spicy, but it was very easy to get drunk, so he said again: "If you are almost drunk, rest early." ”

This four-catty jar of osmanthus wine has been drunk by the two of them, and they are about to see the bottom, but under the heating of the firewood, the more they drink, the more refreshing it is.

Lao Dao burped, threw a peanut into his mouth and said: "On the table in the room, next to the wolf's pen, there is the last bag of sauce beef, go and get it, eat and drink happily today." ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he said in surprise: "There is even sauce beef? I remember, when we climbed this vine ladder before, there was indeed a bag of sauce beef, but as soon as you drank this osmanthus wine, if you didn't say it, I almost forgot it." There is wine and meat, and the world is in good season. ”

Qin Chuan hurriedly ran to Lao Dao's room, and found a package of sauced beef wrapped in kraft paper next to the wolf pen on the table, next to which was the golden thread name that appeared on the Dao Gate before. The six words "five years later, Luozi Cliff" above, Qin Chuan remembers it very clearly.

Qin Chuan put the beef in sauce and looked at it with this famous post.

I saw that this post was surrounded by gold threads, and at a glance you knew that it was extraordinary. But there are only these six words in the middle, and there is no other handwriting.

Could it be that there is a secret method to hide? Qin Chuan picked up the name card and looked at it to the sun for a long time, but there was still no other content, and he couldn't help but speculate secretly in his heart: "This old Taoist is good, with this golden thread famous post, it must be a rich and noble person, I don't dare to provoke it, when the time comes, the old Tao will take me there, but as he said before, I can't beat it and run away." ”

The voice of the old man outside sounded: "Rabbit cub, why hasn't it come out yet, isn't it stealing food inside?"

"Come on! this is coming out!" Seeing Lao Dao shouting to himself, he quickly put down the name card and ran out with this bag of sauced beef.

Not long after Qin Chuan went out, the name post that was previously illuminated by the sun was originally an empty place, and the words "surviving people" appeared.

......

There is wine, meat, peanuts, and a jar of four catties of osmanthus wine has been drunk by the two of them, and the body is smooth, and the head is sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Lao Dao also said with a lot of wine: "Rabbit cub, open another altar." ”

Qin Chuan also blushed and persuaded: "Old Dao, I naturally know the amount of alcohol you drink." Two catties is already at the top, and now if you open another altar, you are afraid that you will not sleep until the New Year. ”

On the occasion of the New Year a few years ago, Lao Dao was drunk and couldn't wake up, Qin Chuan was so frightened that he thought Lao Dao had drunk to death, if it weren't for the snoring sound that was absent, Qin Chuan almost buried Lao Dao, so later, Qin Chuan never let Lao Dao drink too much.

Lao Dao closed his eyes, slapped his thighs with his palms and hummed a small song, naturally knowing what Qin Chuan was thinking: "It's okay, open another altar, rabbit cub, I'll go back to the room and sleep by myself later, I don't need you to carry it." ”

When Qin Chuan heard it, he also agreed: "As you wish, open another altar." ”

Qin Chuan went to get some firewood again, and put another jar of osmanthus wine on top of the stone pile to heat it, waiting for the aroma of the wine to overflow.

Lao Dao suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Qin Chuan and asked, "Qin Chuan, do you want to go to this martial arts river and lake." ”

Qin Chuan was taken aback, Lao Dao has always called him a rabbit cub, why is he so serious today, calling his name.

Qin Chuan looked at Lao Dao, looking at him like this, he didn't look like a drunk person. Qin Chuan thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and said, "Enter the martial arts rivers and lakes, forget it." Before, I had a little idea, I wanted to go to the martial arts rivers and lakes, but then I thought about it, I am not a cultivator, but I don't know any self-defense skills, if I accidentally look at a martial arts practitioner, when he kills me, it will be as simple as stepping on an ant, and when that time comes, what else can I do except scold people?"

Lao Dao closed his eyes again, as if he was naturally muttering to himself: "This martial arts rivers and lakes, as I said before, is not what you think, there are fights and kills, and naturally there is also this human affection. ”

Qin Chuan still shook his head and said: "Martial arts rivers and lakes, I have seen it in Qingzhou City before, it is nothing more than that some sects are admired, martial arts powerhouses use swords to kill people, and those heavenly treasures, treasures, spirit stones and other things are important to cultivators, but for me, it is not as good as eating a good wine." ”

"Hehe, duplicity. Lao Dao probably saw Qin Chuan's thoughts, so he jokingly said: "This fatty blue crab, you really don't want to eat it? ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan also smiled and said: "I did think about it before, but I don't have any martial arts cultivation qualifications, even if I go to this martial arts rivers and lakes, although I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but after all, I am risking my head to act as a spectator of this martial arts rivers and lakes, so it is not cost-effective." ”

Lao Dao smelled the aroma of wine, urging Qin Chuan to open the altar quickly, the yellow mud fell to the ground, and the cloth was uncovered.

The old way of drinking, willing to drink a big sip of wine, not a sip like Qin Chuan. Wait for the wine to be half cool and warm, and drink all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, so that it is enjoyable.

It's probably because Lao Dao drank too much this time, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop coming down, and he kept wiping the sweat with his cuffs.

Lao Dao picked up a piece of sauced beef, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and said to Qin Chuan with an awe-inspiring expression: "If you don't enter this martial arts rivers and lakes, you will feel that what you see is the world you know." You grew up in this wilderness Taoist temple, but you have never really walked through it, which is a little unfair to you. A person like me who has a pure heart and few desires has traveled all over the world before he came to this Taoist temple to practice. Whether it's good or not, it's up to you to decide after you've gone through it. ”

When Qin Chuan heard this, he was halfway awake from drinking: "Old Dao, you are not a person with a pure heart and few desires, you have wine and meat, which is the work of a cultivator." ”

Lao Dao knew what Qin Chuan meant, and after drinking too much osmanthus wine, he began to put on his face, so Lao Dao replied with a ruddy face: "Cultivation is in the heart, not in the mouth of others." Others need to fast, I just need to eat enough. ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan asked word by word: "Then are you drunk, or do you really want to go to the martial arts rivers and lakes?"

Lao Dao replied: "Serious words, I have not lied to you. Besides, if you have a stubborn disease, if you want to cure it radically, some items are in the hands of the sect, and you will have to come to the door to ask for it. ”

Qin Chuan asked, "Then when will you leave?"

Lao Dao replied: "Anytime!"

Qin Chuan asked again, "Then what do I need to prepare?"

Lao Dao squinted his eyes and saw that Qin Chuan was wearing cloth clothes, so he said, "Change into clean clothes and go!"

Qin Chuan said: "Okay, then I'll change it now." ”

Lao Dao smiled: "Put on the clothes of the Taoist temple!"
