There was a creak, and the door opened.

The rain that had been pouring down without stopping finally stopped, and the sun shone in after a long time.

The scruffy, stubble-stubble, unkempt man tilted his head to prevent his eyes from looking directly at the sun.

Before Li Yun entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of wine from afar, and he felt exaggerated at the time, so he opened the door, and the strong smell of wine came to his nose, and every corner of this room seemed to be filled with this kind of intoxicating taste.

There were jars of wine everywhere in the room, so many that it was impossible to settle down, lying horizontally on the floor, on the table, on chairs...... Even there were two empty wine jars on the bed.

"Prince Ji Zheng. Li Yun carried two jars of wine into the door, and he finally found a gap just enough for two feet, and stood there with a professional smile on his face.

"Oh, you're here. Ji Zheng didn't care who came in, but when he smelled the two jars of wine he brought, he suddenly became interested and snorted, "Yo, good wine, at least it's my daughter Hong, who has been treasured for twenty years." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now also an expert in tasting good wines. Li Yun smiled undiminishedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, get me a drink. Ji Zheng staggered to her feet.

"Give. Before Li Yun could put the wine jar on the table, Ji Zheng snatched it, slapped open the mud seal, tilted his head, and poured it into his mouth.

Smelling the tempting fragrance, and seeing Ji Zheng so wasteful, more than half of a jar of wine flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and the white wine flowed through the gap in the beard and fell to the ground, Li Yun felt very uncomfortable: Isn't drinking like drinking boiled water, it's really a tyrannical thing.

"Does Your Highness remember me?" Li Yun smiled bitterly and lifted another jar of wine, poured himself a bowl, and took a sip. When this sip of wine entered his stomach, his whole body was immediately comfortable, and his whole body was soothed, and Li Yun couldn't help shouting cool.

"Remember......" Ji Zheng's eyes were full of worry, trembling slightly and pointing at Liyun, before his hand was halfway raised, he lost consciousness and fell asleep.

Li Yun shrugged his shoulders, ignored Ji Zheng, poured another bowl of wine for himself, and drank it in one go, and after drinking three bowls like this, he left.

Ji Zheng slept until three o'clock the next day, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Yun coming in with two jars of wine and some side dishes.

"There's no appetizer, so it's not fun to just drink. Li Yun said lazily.

Ji Zheng patted Li Yun's shoulder heavily and grinned, "You're right. That being said, this time he only drank and did not eat anything, and after drinking a jar of wine, he got drunk again.

Li Yun drank wine, ate peanuts and edamame, and ate all the snacks before slowly leaving.

Ji Zheng doesn't know how many times he was drunk, how many times he woke up, sometimes he woke up in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes late at night, many times, it was rustling and raining outside, sometimes it was sunny, there was very little bad weather in this place, and Ji Zheng didn't hear the roar and thunder once.

Sometimes he came a little earlier, sometimes a little later, but at the latest within a quarter of an hour of waking up, he would have arrived with drinks and snacks.

Every time the meal is similar, Ji Zheng is too lazy to be picky, anyway, everything he eats has a taste, but those wines, almost every time they are not the same, there are white wine, rice wine, fruit wine, everything, so that Ji Zheng is addicted to drinking.

Li Yun hardly speaks, and he usually drinks silently with a snack.

Until one day, Ji Zheng was finally willing to talk to him: "I remember you, you are the wizard of Si Tiange. ”

The corners of Li Yun's mouth rose: "It turns out that His Highness still remembers me." ”

Ji Zheng stopped talking and drank by himself.

Since then, Ji Zheng has been drinking by himself again, ignoring Liyun, and only after two days did he say to him again: "Have you ever been in love?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you don't understand my pain. Ji Zheng shook his head and kept silent.

"What kind of love is it, whether the wine is not good or the food is not delicious. Li Yun smiled.

"Well, you're right. Ji Zheng said whatever Li Yun said, he only identified one point, Li Yun had never been in love, so he couldn't feel how painful his heart was.

After that, Ji Zheng behaved much more normally, and gradually chatted with Li Yun more, many times he was mentioning his love story with Ting Yan to Li Yun, and sometimes when he talked about sadness, he would unconsciously chant poems.

I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I can't think about it, I am good, I am tossing and turning, it is the poem that Ji Zheng reads the most, Li Yun sits on the side and drinks, whatever he reads, and occasionally echoes a sentence.

Ji Zheng has been in the room, except for taking a bath, he basically doesn't go out, the strange thing is that except for Li Yun and the child who serves his daily life, the other wizards of the Witch Alliance have never looked at him, none of them, this hut is very quiet, there is no voice, but the roar of the beast can often be heard.

On this day, Li Yun saw Ji Zheng looking out of the door, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to go out for a drink?" paused, and said: "It's more comfortable to drink in the bamboo forest." ”

Ji Zheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Yun stretched out his hand to summon the boy who was standing by the door and listened to the order, and asked him to move a set of tables and chairs to the purple bamboo forest, and also prepare drinks and side dishes.

When the boy heard Li Yun's words, he couldn't believe his ears, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and confirmed with him again and again, so he rushed to prepare.

"Your Highness, what is the environment?" Li Yun helped Ji Zheng and walked on this cool purple bamboo forest path.

"It's fine. Ji Zheng didn't know how long he hadn't been out, and he always felt that the scenery was very different from when he first came to Baigu Peak.

I remember when I first came to this purple bamboo forest, it looks very old, although the dry leaves that are separated from the bamboo like to flutter in the wind, but no matter how far they want to fly, they will eventually fall to the ground and turn into spring mud, now the leaves of this purple bamboo forest seem to be new, dyed with different shades of purple, many tender bamboo shoots have just emerged, there are a few fat wind beasts in the bar chirp this tender bamboo shoots, they are not afraid of life, heard someone coming, glanced at it, and continued to go back to gnaw their tender bamboo shoots.

The boy brought a whole set of bamboo chairs, and there were bamboo forests everywhere on Baigu Peak, and the wizards made these bamboos into various furniture according to local conditions.

The weather is not bad today, living in the dark purple bamboo forest, a cool wind blew, blowing Ji Zheng's long hair and beard, he reached out and flicked it, only to realize that he had been unkempt for a long time.

Ji Zheng smiled bitterly, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all.

"How does this plum wine taste?" asked Liyun.

"Nice, sweet and sour, refreshing and delicious. ”

"Is it as hard to let go as your first love?"

Brother Liyun laughed. Ji Zheng smiled, and smiled bitterly.

After staying in the house for so long, Ji Zheng used alcohol to anesthetize himself every day, and felt that he had forgotten that person, and now listening to Li Yun, even if many days have passed, Ji Zheng still can't let go, and his heart feels like he has been cut by a knife.

"Really?"

"Has Brother Liyun ever been in love?" Ji Zheng had forgotten that he had asked Liyun this question, but he had also forgotten that he had asked Liyun this question many times.

"No, I think the wine is better. Li Yun held this wine glass made of bamboo, looked at it and looked, and always felt that it was unique, and the wine held in this bamboo wine cup had a very different kind of crisp sweetness.

"Yes, it's still good wine. Ji Zheng said, raised the wine glass in his hand, touched it with Li Yun's wine glass, and drank it all.

"Have you thought about it in the future?" Li Yun took a shallow sip, good wine needs to be tasted slowly.

"Later?" Ji Zheng's eyes were very confused, his mind was blank now, what was in the future, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know. At this time he felt that everything outside had nothing to do with him, he just wanted to drink, drink a lot, get very drunk, and get drunk unconscious.

If he could, he wanted to soak in the vat, so that whenever he wanted to drink, he could drink it with his head down.

Li Yun didn't speak, and Ji Zheng clinked glasses.

The next day, Li Yun went to Ji Zheng with wine again, but found that he was not in the house, so he went to the purple bamboo forest by himself, and watched those wind beasts gnaw bamboo shoots.

"Brother Liyun. Seeing Liyun coming over with wine, he shouted.

"You're in better spirits today. Li Yun said as he took out the wine and food from the basket, today he took not green plum wine, but glutinous rice wine, in addition, in addition to the peanuts, edamame, and fresh bamboo shoots that he often ate in the past, there were two more dishes, one was crab roe tofu, and the other was vegetarian white fungus.

Ji Zheng was stunned, this crab roe tofu is Ting Yan's favorite dish, but he didn't expect Li Yun to get it today.

"What's wrong?" Li Yun didn't know why Ji Zheng was so surprised.

"This crab roe tofu ......"

"Oh, it's not crab roe, it's salted duck eggs, today I suddenly wanted to eat tofu, so I asked the kitchen brother to help me cook it, and there were just salted duck eggs left in the kitchen, the chef brother thought not to waste it, so he added it, it looked similar to crab roe. ”

Ji Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, secretly praising himself in his heart that he was a psychopath, and he could connect with Ting Yan even if he saw anything.

After two glasses of wine, Ji Zheng felt depressed in his heart, picked up the wine glass, faced the purple bamboo forest, and watched the bamboo leaves flying, and the stream flowed endlessly, and the dry leaves that fell in the stream flowed with the stream, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward." ”

"No matter how sad you are, it's better to have a glass of wine in your hand. Li Yun said, raising his glass and drinking it all.

"Raise a glass to dispel sorrow and sorrow. Ji Zheng looked at the wine glass in his hand, and suddenly had no idea of drinking.

"Then you don't have to worry about anything in your dreams. ”

"No, Brother Liyun, I am very grateful that you come to drink with me every day, but you don't need to waste time on a soulless person, it's not worth it. ”

"This is my task. Li Yun was blunt.

"Mission?" Ji Zheng didn't know why.

"Hmm. As long as I can bring you to your senses, my mission is accomplished. ”

"Then why are you doing that?"

"After completing the task, you can worship Wushan as a teacher, this is what the alliance leader promised me. ”

"Worship Wushan as a teacher?" Ji Zheng felt that his head was like a mess, and the whole person was confused.

Speaking of Yiming, it seems that he hanged himself, Ji Zheng vaguely remembered the events of that day, he and Shang Zhu went to visit the master of Yiming Pavilion, and wanted to ask him if he could deduce the rebels in the land of rebellion, but when he arrived at Sitian Pavilion, he heard the news that the master of Yiming Pavilion hanged himself, and it was at that time that he met Liyun.

After handing over the letter, Li Yun walked away like this, Ji Zheng thought that he would never see him again, but he didn't expect to meet thousands of miles away, and he didn't expect that this place would be in the wizarding alliance that he didn't believe in before.

"Yes. As soon as he said this, Li Yun's face lit up and he was excited.

"Why?"

"Because I think the wizards of the Witch Alliance are the real wizards, and those in Kyushu are just pretending to be ghosts. ”

Ji Zheng was silent, in the past, he would compete with Li Yun, but unfortunately now he is not interested in anything, he is only interested in wine, what ascends the throne, revival of Xuanyuan Kingdom, all of these have nothing to do with him, he feels very tired, the outside world is too terrifying, full of intrigues, dirty transactions, especially when even the only girl he trusts can't be trusted, Ji Zheng has long been hopeless about this world.

"Say no more, drink. Li Yun didn't want to force Ji Zheng.

Ji Zheng stumbled.

On the third day, Li Yun came to the purple bamboo forest again, and saw Ji Zheng looking at the stream in a daze, putting the wine and dishes on the table, and pouring himself a glass of wine, he raised the wine jug very high, and the space where the wine fell was very long, and there was a crisp sound.

This voice did not attract Ji Zheng's attention, but the smell of wine lured him back.

Seeing Li Yun sending wine, Ji Zheng laughed silently.

After touching the cup three times, Li Yun took out a book from his arms: "By the way, the leader of the Wuqian League asked me to bring it over." ”

"What is this?"

"The Patriarch's commandments. ”

No need to say it, Ji Zheng has seen the name on the book, and his face can't help but change slightly, this is written by his teacher Xiao Yuanzhi, but he included the teachings of the sages and saints of the past dynasties in it, there is only one book in the world, it is a unique book, which was collected by Taifu on Xiao's mansion, Taifu has always regarded this book as a treasure, and he rarely takes it out to read it in peacetime, let alone takes it elsewhere, but this time it appeared in Baigu Peak.

Ji Zheng already had a bad thought in his heart, and immediately asked Liyun: "How did you get this book?"

"You have to ask the leader of the Wuqian Alliance, I was just ordered to deliver the book. Li Yun poured a glass of wine for Ji Zheng, but the latter did not touch the glass, but looked at the book in a daze.

"By the way, the leader of the Wuqian Alliance asked me to bring a message, do you want to hear it? Li Yun looked at Ji Zheng and said quietly.

"What's the news?"

"The third prince Ji Xing forced King Ling to abdicate and ascended the throne himself, and your teacher Xiao Yuanzhi was sentenced to the crime of defecting to the enemy, and he copied the ...... all over the house" Before Li Yun's words were finished, Ji Zheng spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
