Tao said: The god of grains is immortal, it is called Xuanqi; The gate of Xuanqi is the root of heaven and earth; If it exists, it is not used diligently.

After the immortal escort, the great monk and the three thousand Buddhas left their bodies, and the Turkic country returned to normal. Except for Li Ke and Yuewa who remembered the attack of ten thousand demons, the rest of the people were like amnesia and forgot about it, and they didn't remember it at all. Li Ke invited those rescuers to be the most joke, he came in a hurry with a stupid face, and hurried away with a stupid face, completely unaware of what he had experienced.

In such a hazy space, half a month passed quickly. Yuewa obeyed the instructions of the great monk every day, and fed the elixir and jade liquid molecules to Li Bai at two o'clock in the afternoon, not daring to give birth to the business trip pool. The strange thing is that this immortal brew is so fierce that Yuewa feels drunk just by smelling it. Li Ke was in a hurry to drink, so he took advantage of Yuewa's inattention and secretly took a sip, wanting to taste the taste of this immortal brew. Unexpectedly, just a small bite made Li Kechang drunk for five days and five nights without waking up.

Li Bai is amazing, not only will he not get drunk, but the more he drinks, the more he loves to drink, and the more he drinks, the happier he becomes. If it weren't for the strong aroma of wine in this immortal brew, the neighboring servants and slaves would still think that Li Bai was drinking milk tonic, which was really amazing.

It's strange to say, this black gourd is not big, and the palm fingers are two in the square, and the wine is only a few catties and taels. But after such a half a month, there has been no shallow reduction, and it is still full and heavy, and it seems to be inexhaustible.

Li Ke was curious, so he asked the housekeeper to find a few large water tanks, and the three of them could hold hands to hug them, and without saying a word, they picked up the black gourd and poured it inside. As a result, a large water tank like this one filled twenty-four tanks unfinished; Li Ke was shocked, and hurriedly asked someone to pour this immortal brew back into the gourd. But he didn't expect that it was easy to get out and difficult to enter, no matter what method Li Ke used, these twenty-four jars of immortal brew could not be poured back half a drop, which was very strange.

"Sir!" Seeing this, the housekeeper Hou Gui said interestingly: "What should I do now?" Why don't you move to the cellar for a while? Anyway, the little master has to drink a bowl every day, and these twenty-four jars will be drunk in fifty or sixty years at most, so you don't have to blame yourself too much, master. After pouring those seven days, it will be the 'cold baptism', sir, you are still in a hurry about this! ”

"Alas!" Li Ke let out a long sigh, full of regret, thinking that he shouldn't have competed with a gourd. So, I had no choice but to listen to what the butler said, and instructed the attendant and servant: "Come on, quickly carry these twenty-four jars of immortal wine to the wine cellar, so that the dust can be sealed." Remember, this matter must not be publicized, especially not to be known to the lady. Otherwise, I'm not the only one who kneels. ”

"Yes, sir!"

At this point, the people were commanded to act, and they did not say much, and they were not surprised; After a while, the twenty-four vasks of immortal wine were moved back to the cellar to seal the dust. There was nothing else to do, except that the butler accidentally sprained his waist while moving the jar, and although it was fine, it still caused him a lot of pain.

The urgent need in front of him has been solved, and it stands to reason that Li Ke should be happy, but it turned out to be the opposite. Li Ke was not only unhappy, but also became sad and worried. It's just because he is anxious about one thing in his heart, a major event that is related to Li Bai's life, cold baptism.

It is said that there is a custom in this Hu people's state that all male babies born of intermarriage with foreign tribes must be soaked in the cold water of mountain springs for half an hour when the moon is full, so as to prove whether the vitality and willpower are tenacious. If it passes, then it can become a member of the Hu people; And if you get sick or die because of this, it means that the Hu gods are unwilling to accept it and treat it as a murderous thing. Not only must they not become clansmen, but they must also be driven out of the Hu land, or thrown into the mountains to feed wild beasts; The end was brutal.

There is a holy pond in the Turkic country, and the water flows from the hinterland of the river and forest, and the season is cold and cold. There is a thing in captivity in the pond, called 'green wing snake fish', as its name suggests, the back is long blue wings, the body is like a snake not a snake, like a fish is not a fish, it is called like an eagle, a dragon is like a dragon, and loves to eat stinky things. The Turkic people regarded this as a god, saying that they could reach the heavens, distinguish between right and wrong, distinguish between good and evil, and bless all living beings. Therefore, this sacred pool is dedicated to various rituals and prayers, including cold baptism.

In the past ten years, the Holy Pond has held a total of five cold baptisms, the specific details are no longer exquisite, and the only known results are that no one survived. Either they were drowned, frozen, or eaten directly by the blue-winged snakefish, and there were no bones left and no blood residue left.

When Yuewa said that she wanted to marry Li Ke, the clansman Ben Wan disagreed, because she was afraid of this cold baptism. However, the true feelings were irrepressible, and finally became a family member and gave birth to Li Bai. However, whether it is Li Ke or Yuewa, they have never regretted half a drop, nor have they made any quarrels, and they are willing to face all difficulties together.

So when Li Ke returned to the house, he came up with an idea and said to Yuewa: "Madam, Bai'er is the flesh and blood of your heart and mine, and nothing can happen." Since sooner or later we have to move to Sichuan and Shu, why don't you and I take advantage of the darkness of the day to escape from the Turks with Bai'er and go to the Central Plains? ”

Yuewa didn't speak, but looked at Li Ke and laughed, so she turned around and picked up the baby Li Bai and teased her. Li Ke was confused, and asked urgently: "What is the lady laughing at?" I've inquired about it, and you Turks have held five cold baptisms for more than ten years, but not a single child survived. If you and I don't run away, then Bai'er will really die in Huangquan and return to the world. When the time comes, will you still be able to laugh at Madame? Hum! ”

"Xianggong, why are you so cute?" Seeing that Li Ke was angry, Yuewa was not surprised, and continued to coax Li Bai in her arms, unhurried or in a hurry, and said, "Who is the master in robbery?" If Bai'er really has three longs and two shorts, how can the master not know about it? How can I tell you and me to move to Sichuan and Shu in fifteen years? And help him find that ethereal? Besides, even if the concubine is willing to follow you away, what should the twenty-four vasks of immortal brew do? ”

"That's right!" In an instant, Li Ke woke up like a big dream, and his mouth suddenly opened. But after only half a while, his face gradually froze, and he became frightened in his heart, and asked, "Madam, how did you know about this immortal brew?" ”

"You're about to buy the entire Turkic water tank, can I not know?" Yuewa asked rhetorically.

"Madame is Madame, amazing! Awesome! Li Ke praised from the bottom of his heart, knowing the current plan, and he must not be entangled in this issue, so he immediately turned his head around, smiled and leaned over to Yuewa's side, and said, "Madam, come, let the husband hug Bai'er too." Li Ke said so, but his hand stretched out to Yuewa, wanting to hug it into his arms.

"Get out!" Yuewa had already seen through Li Ke's thoughts, so she said this unceremoniously, and pushed it away, saying, "You sleep in the firewood room for me tonight." ”

"Thank you for your mercy and husband!"

Hearing that he only slept in the firewood room and did not kneel on the board, Li Ke was extremely happy in his heart, and he felt a sense of relief. I was afraid that Yuewa would suddenly regret it, so I panicked and thanked her, picked up the bedding on the bed and ran away from the door, like a rabbit disappeared without a trace. made Yuewa laugh out loud, even Li Bai in his arms made a giggle, biting his fingers and being happy, making Yuewa happy to see it well, secretly surprised.
