Chapter 60: The Residence of the Wine Immortals (End of Volume 1)
In the scorching summer, the sun is like fire, no matter what era it is, the summer is so hot.
Chang'an City under the scorching sun, like the eternal palace of the Emperor of Heaven, stands on the earth, with a city wall seven or eight zhang high, like a cliff, giving people a feeling of infinite coercion. The largest city in the world at this time fell into a lazy atmosphere under the summer sun, except for the soldiers on the city wall who were still meticulously patrolling, the guards of the imperial city and the palace city were still guarding their posts, and the rest of the Chang'an people were now nesting in the shade, waiting for the hottest time of the day to pass.
But in this lazy scene, there is a place in Guanglufang that is crowded, and countless Chang'an people are flowing here. This is a restaurant, which was just opened last year, and the wine sold is now the best in Chang'an, fragrant and clear, as if you can smell it from far away. In this year, countless Chang'an people drank the most beautiful wine in their lives here, and compared with this wine, they used to drink water.
This is a three-storey building, surrounded by eaves arched, in the eaves corner there are still hanging bells, and there is a big flag, on which the big wine words are flying, flying in the wind. In front of the gate is a big archway, this archway is not a road sign, or for the chaste martyr erected, this is the signboard of this restaurant, a plaque inlaid on the archway 'Jiuxianju' three big characters and the wine word is the same, it seems to be from the same person's handwriting, the pen is strong and powerful, fierce and uncasting, although the word is not as good as those calligraphers think what Yu Shinan, Ouyang Xun and the like, but there is also a bit of wind bones, but you can also see a little bit of flying white charm.
After this big signboard, go inside, is a stone stele, this stele is enough to be high, not less than 10,000 catties, I don't know how to set it up, this is not a barren mountain and wild ridge, this is in Chang'an City, close to the palace of Guanglufang, to erect such a stele, without disturbing the rest of the surrounding residents is not an easy task, but when the stele was erected in this restaurant, the surrounding residents were unaware, and even the city gate did not transport the stele into the city. This has also become the talk of Chang'an people after dinner.
A poem is carved on the stele, and a literate old gentleman volunteered to recite it for the people around him: "If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky." If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth. Since heaven and earth love wine, love is worthy of heaven. It has been heard as clear as a saint, and the road is as turbid as a sage. Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods. Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural. But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake. ”
After reading this poem, other people didn't feel anything, but they just thought it was good. However, the old gentleman who recited poetry cut off his beard and returned a few roots, and only after the pain had passed did he exclaim: "Good poetry, good poetry, when you are white!" With that, he strode inside. When he entered the store, he shouted: "Shop, the two strongest wines are here, you must taste the fun of this wine today, hahahaha......"
Although it was said heroically, after the wine was served, the old gentleman just drank a bowl and fell to the ground drunk, just because he was used to drinking the previous wine, and the first time he drank the wine of this wine Xianju, he drank too quickly for a while, and he asked for the strongest wine, so it became like this. But this also made a live advertisement for Jiuxianju, in this era, which person with good wine is not to drink a jar of noodles without changing color, this bowl of wine that puts people down has aroused the strong curiosity of onlookers, so there is a second, third, countless Chang'an people after this day with curiosity to go to Guanglufang Jiuxianju to try this bowl of spirits. Gradually, it began to spread in Chang'an City: the wine of the wine immortal residence was brewed by the immortals, and the immortals had the mana to protect the body from a thousand cups without getting drunk, and of course mortals poured a cup.
In short, since then, Jiuxianju has gained a firm foothold in Chang'an City, and the business is so good that countless people are lined up to want a taste of this immortal wine, and a jar of wine has gradually increased from the initial three hundred Wen to consistently, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm of Chang'an people. This also made the eldest grandson behind Jiuxianju very happy, managing the livelihood of the entire palace, and the money in his hand was often not enough. But thinking that half of them were children who were only seven or eight years old, the eldest grandson had to worry about his two eldest sons, but she couldn't do it if she wanted to do some shady means to deal with that child.
So the eldest grandson has been struggling for a year, not knowing what to do, and not daring to think about Li Er's complaint, because she doesn't want Li Er to be difficult, but watching the child grow in wings, she feels uncomfortable, and in this way, she has a feeling of recurrence of her qi disease. Ever since Daoist Sun Simiao prescribed her prescription to control this disease, she felt that it was getting easier and easier day by day, until this wine immortal residence became more and more profitable, and she began to be strict again.
Li Kuan didn't know about this, but even if he knew, he wouldn't think it was a big deal, he never thought about being an emperor, or fighting for power and profit with those brothers, it was simply a waste of life, even if the system on his body Li Kuan was not willing to collect energy, as long as he was comfortable, what difference did he have or didn't have?
So Li Kuan was so heartless and playful with Li Lizhi and Xiao Nianwei, and he didn't have a proper shape all day long. At the beginning, he just wanted to make money, and then buy coal mines and oil fields, but after learning that the dead miners would deduct money, he felt that it was not cost-effective, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore, but gave the recipe for winemaking to the eldest grandson, and then became the shopkeeper, who knew that the eldest grandson would want to share half of him! If the eldest grandson knew what Li Kuan was thinking, I don't know if he would feel embarrassed, but the two mothers and sons were not biological mothers and sons after all, and Li Kuan still traveled through the later generations, and the invisible estrangement between them made the eldest grandson anxious, and even affected his health. If he knew, maybe he would have made it clear a long time ago, but there are so many ifs in the world!
Li Kuan didn't know that in the more than a year that he was concentrating on conditioning his body, he was already a wealthy little millionaire, and the eldest grandson put Li Kuan's share aside alone, and gave it to him at the end of the year.
The sun is evil in the west, the heat is gradually subsiding, people start to go out to work, Li Kuan also pulled up from his recliner and started the afternoon training, since the last time he started extreme training outside the city, Li Kuan has made a plan for himself, to develop the potential of this training to the maximum, with the pills produced by the system, and strive to recover the cultivation of the previous life as soon as possible, and even further break through the dark energy.
The body is moving, the muscles and bones are stretched, the three-body boxing is out, Li Kuan began to squeeze the strength in his body with all his might, he is not afraid of injury, he is not afraid of hardship, what is more frightening than what will happen in a month? For Li Kuan, who has already died once, living well is the greatest wish, so Li Kuan is very ruthless to himself at this moment.
Punch after punch, the fist tore through the air, making a cracking sound, the skeleton of the whole body was sore, the muscles were also very painful, and the sweat flowed down his immature cheeks, flowing into threads, dripping on the bluestone slab under him. Li Kuangang gritted his teeth, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, because he felt that he was about to reach the limit, and at this time, his slackness would be wasted.
When the last trace of strength in the body was squeezed out, and it was consumed with the wave of his fist, Li Kuan was paralyzed on the ground, his whole body was weak, his limbs were sore, he could only tilt his head slightly, open his mouth and swallow the pill that had been prepared to be placed on the low table, and then silently adjusted his chaotic breathing in his heart according to the method of Xinquan breathing and breathing taught by the master in his previous life, and held the pill in his mouth without swallowing it, the tip of his tongue was against the palate, and between exhaling and inhaling, the medicinal power was slowly dissipated, and was absorbed by Li Kuan's whole body musculoskeletal.
At this time, the musculoskeletal muscles of Li Kuan's whole body were like dry sponges, frantically absorbing the medicinal power emitted by the pill, compared to the gentle absorption before, now it was robbing and plundering. Li Kuan can even feel the musculature slowly become stronger, the strength slowly recovers, Li Kuan in the first time to move, the body posture changed to cross-knee and do, the posture of the five hearts to the sky, this posture is the most suitable for practicing the art of breathing and breathing, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, or the inner family boxing lineage, such a meditation posture is not uncommon.
The body absorbs the medicinal power, just like a sponge absorbs enough water, and at the same time, with the sweat just now, the toxins in Li Kuan's body are discharged, Li Kuan has taken medicine as usual as eating in the past two years, it is a three-point poison, although the system produces the drug to the best state, but Li Kuan's body still has a lot of harmful impurities, these magazines can only be discharged spontaneously by the body, and the system has no detoxification capsules for Li Kuan.
That is to say, every time Li Kuan's physique is cultivated to the limit, it will be pure once, and sooner or later Li Kuan will reach the legendary immaculate body, that is, the innate body that Taoism talks about, the Bodhi golden body that Buddhism says, and the inner fist also has such a title, which is called the realm of grandmasters.
Of course, these are all too early, Li Kuan now just wants to increase his life-saving chips, who knows that he has inadvertently embarked on a different path, at this time, even without the system of the pit father, Li Kuan can rely on the existing conditions to go to the peak step by step, until the final congenital innocent body.
As the days passed, Chang'an City quietly became nervous during this time, the soldiers patrolling inadvertently made a few more trips, and the figure wandering outside the palace gate also quietly had more faces, Li Yuan's body bones were getting worse and worse, and recently news came out from the palace that the emperor was coughing up blood every day, and the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were all helpless. The whole of Chang'an began to be covered by a thick layer of dark clouds.
