Volume 1: The Soul Pierces the Continent Chapter 38: The Peach Blossom Fairy in the Peach Blossom Forest
In the smoky house, the graceful and beprising dance was still dancing, and a bloated man sat leisurely in the first place, and five children of the same age sat to the left and right.
After a while, a waiter walked out of the side room quickly, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and the fragrance that made Lin Jiangnan very uncomfortable came from this pot of wine, if the peach blossom fragrance in the outside world is scattered, and this pot of wine gathers those scattered peach blossom fragrances together, making people drunk when they smell it.
The attendant respectfully poured the peach blossom wine into everyone's bowl, the wine had peach petals, mixed but not greasy, those peach petals seemed to dance in the bowl, the dance was not like the dancers in the smoke, but like elves, dancing wantonly in the bowl.
The old man picked up the peach blossom wine that had been poured on the table, with a look of fascination on his face, and said to everyone, "I am really glad that you can come to our small village this time, so let's drink a bowl first." ”
As he spoke, the old man raised his head and swallowed the bowl of peach blossom wine beating with elves, his face quickly became ruddy, and everyone saw that the old man had already drunk the wine, and he also took the wine bowl and drank it all.
When the peach blossom wine enters the throat, it is very soft, even if people who have not drunk alcohol drink this peach blossom wine, they will swallow it, but when it enters Lin Jiangnan's stomach, it explodes directly in the chest, and the peach blossom fragrance that makes Lin Jiangnan feel uncomfortable spreads.
Lin Jiangnan tried his best to control this strange feeling, showing a slight redness on his face, but he could still clearly control his body and mind, but if he couldn't hold it, he would faint directly, Lin Jiangnan looked at the other four people, this was also the case, and he was also trying his best to control it.
Finally, that feeling slowly dissipated in his body, the faces of Lin Jiangnan and the others slowly recovered, and the old man couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the teenagers in front of him quickly return to normal.
The old man's face was ruddy, and he said to everyone with a smile, "How is it, is the peach blossom wine intoxicating, is it not drunk and everyone is drunk." ”
Lin Jiangnan paused slightly, felt uncomfortable, and answered the master's question, "I don't know if it's drunk or not, it's just that this wine is very delicious." ”
The old man suddenly felt a burst of horror, looked at the attendant, the attendant put on an expression that I didn't know, in fact, in advance, this peach blossom wine has an unknown effect, if the person who is shallow in the Tao drinks, it is guaranteed not to be controlled by himself, and in front of Lin Jiangnan and other seven or eight-year-old children drank it, but there was nothing at all? I also wanted to drink a few more glasses, which made the old man's expression instantly become wonderful.
Lin Jiangnan saw the change in the old man's face, and his heart began to become proud, let you underestimate a few of us, and want to harm us, I'm afraid it's not qualified, but he joked in his mouth, "What's wrong, master, what's wrong with this wine, didn't you tell us to try the taste, we tried it, it's delicious, don't be stingy, have a few more bowls, how can you be stingy." ”
"This... The attendants next to him began to feel embarrassed, and muttered noises from their mouths.
The old man watched the attendant not move for a long time, and couldn't help but reprimand, "I heard what the distinguished guest said, praised my wine for being delicious, and didn't go to get more wine, so that the distinguished guest could drink freely." ”
"Yes, yes. The attendant hurried to the side room to get the wine.
"I didn't expect a few distinguished guests to be so bold, the first few times a distinguished guest came to drink this wine, but the back was unconscious. When the master said this, the last sentence was particularly deepened.
Lin Jiangnan naturally heard the old man's unwillingness, and sat on the seat and picked up the dishes, and the other four couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Little boy, you haven't eaten yet. Ouyang Nana finally spoke.
"No, where can you be full, how can such a delicious dish be wasted, you continue to eat. Lin Jiangnan was talking while stuffing food into his mouth at this time.
"Okay. Xiao Yanshan was not polite, and directly picked up the chopsticks and ate the food.
The old man's face twitched, and he wanted to complete the plan while they were drunk, but looking at the situation in front of them, they were completely out of the plan.
While everyone was eating, the attendant ran out of the side room, holding many pots of peach blossom wine in his hand, and the old man's face became even more ugly, and he motioned for the attendant to bring it over.
"Your guests have a good amount of food, come, the wine has come up, let's continue drinking." The old man controlled his emotions and invited the crowd to start drinking.
Lin Jiangnan took the peach blossom wine and drank it clean, the uncomfortable feeling in his body still existed, but it could still be controlled, and the old man himself had already begun to lose the stamina of this wine.
"It's good wine, good wine. A young man's voice of admiration came, and Lin Jiangnan fell unconscious on the table with a bang.
The other four people saw that Lin Jiangnan had fallen on the table, secretly wiped their sweat, and fell unconscious on the table one after another.
The lord and the attendant looked at each other, feeling that this thing in front of him happened too suddenly, and the lord asked the attendant to determine whether Lin Jiangnan and the others were really drunk, and after the attendant confirmed them one by one, he reported that the lord was indeed drunk.
The old man patted his thigh and said, "After spending so much peach blossom wine, I finally got these children, how about it, I said that this peach blossom wine must be okay." ”
The attendant hurriedly gave the master a thumbs up and flattered him, which made the master very useful.
"Go, lock them up first, and tie them to the pillar at night when the peach blossom sacrifice comes. The lord instructed the attendants to hurry up and deal with the matter.
The attendants promised again and again, and moved Lin Jiangnan and them into the hut in turn, and when it was late at night, they would tie them to the pillars, and then the peach blossom sacrifice could begin.
At night, the bright moon hung in the night sky, reflecting the figures of the ancient village, they gathered at the gate of the ancient village, and they were ready to set off to the peach blossom forest in the back mountain, where there was the peach blossom sacrifice that they most wanted for many years.
Those figures were holding torches that could illuminate the ground at night, and the light of those fires swayed in the night, which seemed a little demonic, or they were originally demons, monsters who were waiting for their prey all the time.
Lin Jiangnan was tied up by five people, and was held by a few strong men, including the man who was praised by Lin Jiangnan during the day, and he muttered words in his mouth at this time, "You want to learn from me, but you haven't won the master's peach blossom wine." ”
The leader in front of him saw that the few people who were carrying the sacrifices were still rubbing, and he couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up, the time is delayed, are you responsible?" ”
When the men who carried the sacrifices heard that the hour was delayed, their feet began to speed up, and if the hour was really delayed, they would probably die without a place to hide.
In the peach blossom forest, the peach blossom tree began to swing wildly when those sacrifices entered the forest, like living creatures, those big men moved the five people south of the forest to the center of the forest, where there was a large altar with ten pillars on it, but this time there were only five sacrifices, but the wind of the peach blossom forest still did not reduce a point, but it was not picky.
Lin Jiangnan and the others were tied to the pillar in the opposite center, and the villagers with torches came to the altar one after another, their eyes were full of anticipation and piety, and the wind around them had stopped when the sacrifices were bound.
The lord walked up to the altar, and the surrounding villagers also quieted down, waiting for their lord's next move, the lord first bowed to heaven and earth, then to the peach blossom forest, and finally bowed to the sacrifice.
The first worship is to worship the kindness of heaven and earth that nourish all things, but they never thought that heaven and earth have nurtured them, but they have also restricted their freedom, which is also a contradiction.
The second worship is to worship the Peach Blossom Forest, which uses its great ability to give them food and materials for survival and a paradise with good weather.
The third worship is a sacrifice, and it is these children as sacrifices that make the peach blossom forest stop harming them and give them benefits, and worship them to show gratitude.
At this time, the old man came to the center of the altar, and after standing still, he looked at the villagers who had arrived, and squeezed out a smile: "The Peach Blossom Fairy is coming, our noble sacrifices have come to the place where they should stay, they have brought us a few years of stable life, let us quietly wait for the arrival of the Peach Blossom Fairy." ”
The villagers below let out a "roar." The voice seemed to welcome this peach blossom fairy.
At night, the moon hung in the sky like a jade plate, and on the ground were some monsters who did anything to coax some poor people who had strayed into the village to sacrifice for their own lives, in order to ensure their own safety.
The gusts of demon wind are finally blowing, blowing the peach blossom forest is trembling, one by one peach blossoms in the demon wind driven, slowly forming a beautiful figure, her whole body is made of peach blossoms, but the body is hollow, but from the figure, this is a woman, a woman in good shape.
"Welcome to the Peach Blossom Immortal, the Peach Blossom Festival will begin soon. The old man stood aside respectfully, not daring to look at the peach blossom woman.
The woman did not speak, but raised her hand to caress the faces of the sacrifices, and nodded, signaling that it could begin.
The old man saw that the Peach Blossom Fairy was ready, and pressed a few handprints on the altar in his hand, and the altar suddenly shone brightly, which was very obvious in the night.
The villagers below watched as the altar had been activated, and the roar in their mouths became more powerful, as if they were cheering for the sacrifice.
Those rays of light slowly formed five beams of light and shot towards the top of the altar beads where Lin Jiangnan and the others were located, and the beams passed through the bodies of Lin Jiangnan and the others, and the energy and life in their bodies were slowly passing, and those passing energy and lives were merging into the hollow body of the Peach Blossom Fairy, forming energy vortices.
When the old man and the villagers below saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and at this point, judging from their experience, they were already nine out of ten.
As the energy inhaled increased, the Peach Blossom Fairy began to become weak, and began to become irritable, and at this moment, something unexpected happened to everyone present.
