Chapter 9 Drink a little wine

It was early summer, and the moon was sparse in the evening, and the warm wind was gusting. The pen www.biquge.info on the blue canopy, and the huge pale blue sigil was still flickering like breathing. The auspicious clouds disappeared, the cranes returned to the pond, and everything returned to tranquility, only the bronze bells from the altar from time to time were still echoing the sigils in the sky. The long-lasting bell is hardly heard in the lively streamer school during the day, and it is only in the quiet night that the bell makes the night seem more quiet.

After Gao Xiang finished washing, he hugged the quilt and pillow in the room, recalling all kinds of things that happened with Liu Li during the day, and was intoxicated. Qingluo was wearing idle clothes, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with his heart to the sky, closing his eyes and practicing the fundamental Dafa of the Streamer School - "Streamer Immortal Jue".

"Streamer Immortal Jue" is a compulsory practice of true qi and heart method for every disciple of the Streamer School, implying that the mysteries of heaven and earth are endless, and it is divided into ten realms, which are divided into ten realms according to Taoist terms, namely Wuji Realm, Taiyi Realm, Liangyi Realm, Three Treasures Realm, Four Elephant Realm, Five Elements Realm, Liuhe Realm, Seven Star Realm, Bagua Realm, and Nine Palace Realm. Qingluo practiced penance for three years before he reached the Bagua realm from the lowest Nine Palaces realm. Most of the disciples in the other sects have cultivated to the Liuhe realm, and even Gao Xiang, who has never been serious, has also cultivated to the seven-star realm.

There was a knock at the door, and Qingluo slowly opened his eyes.

Gao Xiang ran over to open the door, but saw Li Jiale standing stupidly at the door with two oil-paper bags in one hand and two jugs of wine in the other.

"Senior Brother Li, how long has it been? Why is it so late? Gao Xiang asked.

Li Jiale laughed dryly, walked into the room and put things on the square table, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my father told me a lot of things this time, so I delayed." ”

"Since it was Uncle Li who came to you to talk about business, then I won't blame you, I will punish myself for three cups before talking!" Qingluo stepped out of bed and smiled.

Li Jiale laughed heartily and said, "No problem! ”

The three of them sat around a table with a plate of old peanuts and a plate of roast chicken, as well as three cups full of wine.

Before Qingluo could speak, Li Jiale said first: "I'm late, I'll punish myself with three cups!" After saying that, he drank three glasses in a row.

Qingluo couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: This Li Jiale is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is a bold person!

Qingluo also picked up the wine glass with both hands and said to Li Jiale: "Don't look at you and me speculating, but Qingluo still has to share the respect for the elders and the young, Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother respects you a glass!" This sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and he drank it very happily.

Gao Xiang ignored the two, took care of himself with peanuts on the side, and forgot to eat.

Li Jiale saw that Qingluo and himself had a similar temperament, and he was in a very comfortable mood after three glasses of wine. He added a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingluo, you can eat this first." After speaking, he took out a pill from his bosom.

Qingluo has eaten countless times, and at a glance he can see that it is a "centering pill", and he took the pill and said: "You are still thoughtful, I have been holding back my stomach for so many years and no one has to confide in me, this time I hope that senior brother you will guide me through the maze!" After speaking, he took the "Concentration Pill" with wine.

Gao Xiang heard Qingluo say this, frowned and pointed at himself, and said, "I, I, I, I don't give you any guidance on your?" ”

Qingluo glanced at him and scolded: "You know a fart, eat your peanuts!" ”

Gao Xiang pouted and continued to eat peanuts.

Li Jiale saw that the two of them were intimate, and he was envious in his heart, although he and the senior brothers of the "Yuxu Palace" had a good relationship, they did not have such a close friend, and they only hated to see Qingluo late. He looked around and saw that the room was not large, the layout was simple and simple, only some daily necessities, the cupboards and bedding were extremely ordinary, there were three single beds, and a square table. So he asked, "There are three beds here, does Senior Brother Gu Lingyun also live with you on weekdays?" Why didn't you see him come back? ”

Qingluo said: "Yes, senior brother, he treats us like brothers, but those who can work hard, he is extremely high, so there are more things, he has been practicing outside all the year round, and he will come back for a few days a month, but every time he comes back, he does not forget to bring me some delicious food." ”

Li Jiale took a bite of food and said, "Although there are few disciples in the Xianyou Palace, the disciples' rooms are not less than those in other palaces, why are they crowded into a small house?" I can't live in one room per person. ”

Gao Xiang took a sip of wine, only to feel that the wine was soft in the mouth, but there was a strong feeling in the stomach, he smashed it, and Li Jiale said: "Yes, as you said, we are not happy here, so we don't look lonely when we huddle together." What's more, Senior Brother, he has always been the most obedient to the rules, and your other palaces are all three disciples in one room, and he doesn't want to be an exception. ”

Li Jiale nodded, and suddenly said, "That's right, Senior Brother Gu is indeed this character." ”

Qingluo picked up the wine glass and saluted Li Jiale, he was very happy to know Li Jiale, and suddenly remembered what the master often said: "Life is in the world, and it is rare to have friends." Thinking about it here, I felt very reasonable, and took a sip, soft and soft, with fire in my stomach, and felt a little curious, so I asked, "Senior Brother Li, what kind of wine is this?" There is a bit of fierceness in the softness, the taste is excellent, and the drink is agile and uninterrupted. ”

Li Jiale looked up to the sky and laughed twice, and said: "I can't see it, Brother Qingluo is still a person who understands wine!" ”

Qingluo's face was slightly red from the wine, and he said: "I didn't understand it originally, but with a wine fairy master, I naturally understand a lot." ”

Li Jiale nodded yes and said, "This is reasonable, Uncle Wen is indeed a drunkard, which is famous." The name of this wine is 'You'. ”

"'You'? What is the name of this? Qingluo was puzzled.

Gao Xiang looked at Qingluo with disgust and said, "Stupid, 'you' is 'Qingluo'!" ”

Qingluo suddenly realized and said: "I said that when the master named me, why did I open my mouth and come to the word 'Qingluo', which was a random name, I don't understand the reason, and I have always regarded the name 'Qingluo' as a treasure, it turned out to be 'Qingluo wine'." ”

Hearing this, Li Jiale and Gao Xiang both laughed.

The three of them raised another glass and ate two mouthfuls of food, and Li Jiale continued: "I just heard Brother Qingluo say, your name was given by Uncle Wen, so what is your original name?" ”

Qingluo's heart was gloomy, and he said, "I don't know myself. ”

Gao Xiang interjected: "Qingluo was already in a coma when he was rescued by the master, and he had amnesia when he woke up. ”

Li Jiale said: "Oh? And what else is there? Can you tell me more about that? ”

Qingluo nodded, drank a glass of wine, and recalled: "When I opened my eyes three years ago, I had pain all over my body, especially my wrists and ankles. But I couldn't remember what had happened before, or who I was. I just thought it was a strange place, and then I saw this long face. ”

"Fuck off." Gao Xiang then said to Li Jiale: "At that time, I had only been visiting the middle school for a short time, and suddenly one night I saw the master carry him back and told me to go and fetch water. When I came back from fetching water, I saw that this kid was undressed by the master, and his body was covered with blood, and his hands and tendons were broken, which was really miserable. ”

Li Jiale was surprised: "Do you know who did this?" ”

Qingluo shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Gao Xiang took a sip of wine, threw a peanut into his mouth, and said in a colorful voice: "I am more familiar with this story than him, listen to me tell you in detail." He was seriously injured, and when he came to his senses, the master asked him about his identity, and he thought about it and shook his head. As for the master, seeing that he was pitiful and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, he accepted him as an apprentice. Later, the master took him to live in Yuanhao Palace for a month, and when he came back, this kid was alive and kicked, and his broken hands and feet were restored as before. ”

Li Jiale said: "Master Zhiyuan of Yuanhao Palace has excellent medical skills, I didn't expect that I could heal him if my hands and feet were broken." ”

Gao Xiang snorted and said: "This kid is surrounded by the beautiful sisters of Yuanhao Palace all day long, I don't know how happy he is, **** smoked heart, I didn't expect that my hands and feet were smoked, but as soon as I came back, I was full of vitality, jumping up and down." ”

Qingluo grabbed a peanut and threw it at Gao Xiang, scolding: "You think everyone is as virtuous as you!" ”

Gao Xiang snorted, and then said: "But he still didn't remember his life experience, I heard that the upper echelons even held a meeting specifically for him." ”

Li Jiale nodded and said, "I know about this, my father was also present at the time, and said that the head of the sect really summoned the palace masters of the other four palaces, and the 'Streamer Five Elders' held a meeting for this purpose to discuss whether Qingluo was a fine work of other sects or demon sects. At that time, my father was also present and advocated that he be tortured or expelled from the streamer, but Uncle Wen and Uncle Zhiyuan disagreed. In the end, the head of the family decided to let him continue to stay under Uncle Wen's family. Brother Qingluo, don't blame me, my father has always hated the Demon Sect. ”

Qingluo shook his head and said, "It's okay, Senior Uncle Li is thoughtful, and it is also for the sake of the Streamer Sect." ”

Gao Xiang continued: "Later, the master invited Uncle Zhiyuan to come to see Qingluo's amnesia, Master Zhiyuan thought about it for a long time, his face was difficult, and under the master's questioning, Master Zhiyuan told the truth. It is said that Qingluo fell into the 'Lotus Heart Mantra' of the Demon Sect! ”

Li Jiale was taken aback when he heard the words "Lotus Heart Mantra" and asked: "But that 'Lotus Heart Mantra' that makes people completely forget the past, but whenever there are some memories, they will be painful?" ”

Gao Xiang nodded, he had always been cynical, and he also showed a melancholy expression, and said: "Yes, I heard the master say at that time, this 'Lotus Heart Mantra' was originally a recipe for the Western Golden Buddha Temple to temporarily eliminate the troubles of the world and achieve the goal of purifying the heart and few desires, but it was later tampered with by the demon sect and changed it into this vicious spell. ”

Li Jiale continued to ask: "Is there a way to get rid of it?" ”

Gao Xiang frowned and said: "Yes, yes, one is to rely on the person who placed the curse to lift it by himself, the second is to go to the Golden Buddha Temple to find a monk who understands this curse, and the third is to rely on Qingluo's own will to forcibly remove it." But none of these three methods will work, the first one must not be said, even the person who casts the spell does not know, in this vast world, all continents and four seas, where to find that person? The Golden Buddha Temple and the Taoist well water do not interfere with the river water, there is no friendship at all, even if the monks are compassionate, it is absolutely impossible for the head of the sect to pull down his face and ask them for help for an ordinary disciple. If you ask that group of old monks to help, it must be regarded as a favor owed to them by the Streamer Sect, Rao is master stands up to the sky and does not follow the law, but he still has to take care of the face of the real person in charge. Not to mention the third one, Qingluo has forgotten all the past, and the only thing that can make some impressions is the word 'senior sister', but which sect does not have a female disciple? Therefore, people who have known each other in the past three years can only try to avoid that word and save him from increasing his pain. ”

Qingluo had taken Li Jiale's "Concentration Pill" before, so he only felt a little dizzy, and after drinking, the dizziness was insignificant.

After listening to Gao Xiang's words, Li Jiale was quite emotional. Qingluo didn't say a word, and quietly listened to Gao Xiang's narration.

The three of them were silent for a while, and the atmosphere became a little dull.

Li Jiale thought of something and continued to ask: "Listening to your description, since the Lotus Heart Mantra was imposed by the Demon Sect, presumably Brother Qingluo must have been a cultivator before. So wouldn't there be some clues if you reveal the Dao Fa? ”

Gao Xiang sneered and said, "With his elm head, he has only cultivated to the 'Bagua Realm' after three years of cultivation, what kind of profound Taoism can you expect him to have before?" ”

Qingluo grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them at Gao Xiang, saying, "You are just a realm higher than me, don't you still be able to beat me?" ”

Gao Xiang reluctantly caught a few peanuts, threw them into his mouth, and said disdainfully: "I let you, although the 'Demon Nine Swords' you know one more 'Split Sword Style' than me, but you can also divide one, Senior Brother Gu can divide seventeen at most!" ”

When Li Jiale heard this, he said: "So you will have a 'sword style'?" ”

Qingluo said with a smile: "The 'combined sword style' is to take back the separated swords, and he won't be able to split the swords, where does the 'combined sword style' come from?" Listen to his foul language. What he knows is to dance around with a sword, because this master and Wen Erniang have taught him a lot. ”
