Drunk (Part I)
The days flowed quietly like flowing water.
Due to the heavy snow sealing the mountain, many monsters on this Hexu Mountain have hibernated. Du Ruo once asked Qingyun, it stands to reason that the transformed monsters are no different from ordinary earth immortals in terms of cultivation, and there is no need to hibernate at all, why is it that this winter, no matter how high or low their cultivation is, they all fall asleep in the cave?
That's what Qingyun said. "They are naturally not afraid of the invasion of the cold, but in addition to avoiding the winter, hibernation is also a good time for monsters to recuperate and comprehend the way of heaven, so naturally they can't miss it. ”
Du Ruo thought about it and felt that this was the truth, when everything was frozen in this, whether it was a human or a demon, he could have more time and space to face himself and think about more things outside his body. Immerse yourself, put aside your ego, and merge into heaven and earth, just like Du Ruo's previous dream. When I woke up, I felt that the catastrophe was about to fall, which was a state of mind and a feeling.
Fat Tiger and Xiao Hei saw Qingyun and Du Ruo driving the clouds away that day, and waited in the wooden house for a few hours and saw that the two did not come back, so they were taken by Xiao Hei and rushed to Luoyun Palace.
Hexu Mountain is a holy mountain in the demon world, and of course Fat Tiger has heard of it. Therefore, when he heard that the rolling mountains in front of him were merging with nothingness, he was naturally stunned.
Xiao Hei was much calmer, after all, he didn't know how many times he had been here, and he had long been used to it.
The reason why this Hexu Mountain can become a holy mountain in the demon world naturally has its reason.
In its northwest direction, King Kong Mountain blocked the evil qi from the ghost world, but the pure yin qi of the ghost world could follow the northwest wind and go straight down, and then it was stopped by Hexu Mountain, nourishing the creatures on this mountain.
Demons and humans are different, human cultivation needs aura, while demons and ghosts need yin, but this yin qi cannot be impurity yin qi with negative emotions, it must be pure yin qi, otherwise it is very easy to fall into demons. People can filter out the impurities in the aura through breathing and breathing, but demons and ghosts cannot practice the breathing and breathing method, which is one of the direct reasons why demons and ghosts are more likely to fall into demons.
The yin qi of this Hexu Mountain is pure yin qi, which is naturally rare and abnormal.
Qingyun said that the snow on Hexu Mountain is a rare encounter for monsters, it comes and goes suddenly, so maybe when you wake up one day, the outside world will change back to the same.
Therefore, although it was a gloomy day for a month, there were countless snowfalls, large and small. They just feel a little bored, and they don't feel bored.
Speaking of which, this month is due to the ice and snow outside the Falling Cloud Palace, even if they are extraordinary, they still have a trace of inertia after all. However, staying with Qingyun, life is quite interesting.
Although Qingyun is a man, he knows how to live very well.
In addition to being very good at cooking, Qingyun is also a good hand at winemaking.
The purest snow dug from the top of Hexu Mountain, then boiled with the fire of Taiyin, supplemented by the petals of the peach blossoms on the peach trees that are ripened every ten years, and then buried in the small garden in the side hall to ferment naturally.
According to Qingyun, it will take forty-nine years for fermentation alone, and one more day will not work, nor will one less day work.
However, Qingyun had brewed a lot of this peach blossom wine and hid it in the other garden before, so he could also let Du Ruo taste the immortal wine that only this immortal could be lucky enough to drink in advance.
To the demon, this wine is like the elixir that Taoist priests usually take to enhance their cultivation, which can quickly improve the demon's Taoism. And if a person drinks it, he can't improve his cultivation, but he can also improve his soul power and enhance his divine consciousness.
But when Du Ruo put the wine to his mouth, he couldn't smell the slightest taste of grain, nor did he feel the slightest hint of peach blossoms. I took a sip gently, but it was also the most common spring water taste, except for a hint of sweetness, there was nothing special. She was a little puzzled, could it be that this wine brewing failed, and Qingyun had forgotten about this matter after being locked up for more than ten years?
However, she did not voice her doubts. Chao Qingyun smiled slightly and said, "This wine is indeed a little different. Her tone was a little weak.
Qingyun glanced at her, his eyes were full of smiles, but he didn't reply anything.
Qingyun has created a small space in the annex, in this world, the climate remains unchanged all year round, and even the temperature and humidity of the air are maintained in the most suitable range.
This spatial technique is a secret technique handed down from ancient times, not to mention this human world, even in the heavenly realm, there are few immortals who will use this technique. Du Ruo had seen similar records in the classics of the Luofu School, but she was not surprised, Qingyun was not a demon emperor, and he had lived for so many years, so it was natural to say that he would use this technique.
In this small space, Qingyun planted a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables, Du Ruo thought that they must be extraordinary fruits and vegetables, maybe they have been planted for hundreds of years, maybe the seeds have some powerful origin.
But when Qingyun told her that these were just the most ordinary seeds bought from the world, Du Ruo was a little dumbfounded.
This Qingyun is really unpredictable, and as the saying goes, it is not acting according to common sense.
Qingyun dug up some peanuts, cut a few handfuls of mustard greens, and slowly walked into the small kitchen in the garden with Du Ruo.
Anyway, she had already been mentally prepared for Qingyun's style of acting, and she could accept that there was a kitchen in this Luoyun Palace, although it did sound a bit ridiculous.
Qingyun was calm and unhurried in the whole process from washing vegetables to lighting the fire to getting out of the pot, and the time was just right, even the fire in the stove was just right to put a few firewood. Looking at it this way, without decades of hard work, it will definitely not be able to do it in one go.
The dish is just the most common dish, the peanuts are washed and slowly stewed in snow water, and in the middle, Qingyun seems to throw a lot of spices into it that Du Ruo can't identify, and when the lid is lifted, the whole room is filled with a strong hot fragrance.
As for the mustard greens, he chopped them into a thin filling with the whitebait he had caught from the lake, and then he conjured a stack of dumpling wrappers out of nowhere. But then, there was a rare look of embarrassment in his expression. He looked at Du Ruo and said, "Do you know how to make dumplings?"
"Huh?" At first, Du Ruo didn't react, he was stunned, only to realize that this Qingyun also had disadvantages in cooking, Du Ruo looked at him, even if he was standing on the stove, he was not ordinary. Imagine the appearance of him making dumplings, it is indeed a little out of place. "I'll pack, let me do it. ”
When Du Ruo and Grandma lived in Luofu Mountain, they would make dumplings to eat during the Chinese New Year, which was difficult for her. In less than half an hour, the table was full of white and chubby round dumplings.
The meal was very merry. After Qingyun boiled the peach blossom wine with a yang fire, the air was full of the fragrance of peach blossoms, and in a trance she seemed to see an endless peach forest, the peach blossoms were flourishing, and layers of powder waves were turned out in the breeze.
She knew that this wine was not as ordinary as it had been when she had just drunk it.
After a sip of hot wine, the fragrance of peach blossoms, wine and heat seemed to explode in the internal organs, and the soul was extremely relaxed. Even the fat tiger on the side, after drinking half a bottle in one go, his eyes became confused, his face showed a comfortable expression, and he could faintly hear a satisfied snoring sound in his throat.
Peanuts and dumplings naturally taste not bad, but Du Ruo can't tell the difference, she only feels that there is only a strong peach blossom fragrance left in her mouth, and everything else seems to have become insignificant.
The limbs seemed to be somewhat uncontrollable, but the consciousness was awake and the spiritual sense seemed to have become extraordinarily sharp. She could even hear the sound of snow falling on the trees outside, and she felt that the feeling was indescribable.
