Chapter 56: Misty

The layout of the treasure house is relatively simple, and it is a large hall. Four huge stone pillars stand in all directions of the hall, and each stone pillar is wrapped around a red stone sculpture in the shape of a divine beast. They are dragons, finch, snakes, and an unknown strange bird. Upon closer inspection, Chen An found that the stone pillars in the four directions were arranged in the direction of southeast, south, and northwest.

The reliefs are lifelike and vivid, as if they would fly away from the stone pillars in the next moment. Underneath the stone pillars, there are rows of stone boxes of various shapes, which are closed and neatly arranged. These stone boxes are about 30 square feet, and they are placed in turn against the wall in the hall.

In the center of these stone boxes, there is a vacant place, five zhang square, painted with dense and complex and obscure patterns, which is a magic circle. Above the circle hung a huge red stone bead, and the red stone bead emitted a beam of light, shining through the round hole in the floor of the pavilion on the second floor below and shining in the center of the circle.

On the second floor of the pavilion, most of them are bookcases, and there is only a set of chairs for people to rest next to the round hole. The old man led everyone up the stairs, climbed to the second floor, and walked straight to the round hole. After motioning for everyone to sit down, he walked to the bookcase in front of the right alone, held a heavy book called "The Legend of the Saint" in the corner, and turned his palm forcefully, and the bookcase suddenly moved to the left, revealing a small space hidden in the wall behind.

There were several jars of wine in it, still unopened. Even so, the fragrance in the wine could not be sealed and spread, not to mention that Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng are good wine people who have many opinions on wine, even if they are people like Chen An and Yiyi who have not drunk much. I felt that the aroma of wine passed through the skin and directly into the body, and even the soul was intoxicated by this fragrance.

"Good wine, good wine!" Qin Shaoyan stroked his palms and smiled, and said in a loud voice, his eyes full of anticipation. But the old man was grinning and holding one of the small jars of wine, looking at everyone, his face full of self-satisfaction. Qian Wanneng was anxious, and hurriedly stood up and shouted to the old man: "Old man... No, old man, don't be greedy for us, get the wine. ”

Chen An also nodded hurriedly, Yiyi was also quite looking forward to the wine in the old man's hand, and at the same time some doubts rose in his heart: "I have been to this treasure house so many times, and this wine is the first time I have seen it, and I don't know how many good things this old man has to hide from me." ”

The old man saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him as if they were staring at him, and he was a little embarrassed, and it was not good to sell it again. After closing the space behind the bookcase, he walked to the table with the small jar of wine. Qian Wancan saw that there were several large jars of wine in the space behind the bookcase, but the old man only took the smallest jar. I was a little unhappy in my heart. said: "I said, why are you so stingy, you old man, you still have so much wine, you only give us such a little." ”

The old man laughed and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but that you can't drink those wines." It is also a waste to take it out, it is better to seal it with these Yanlong wood, so as not to lose the aroma. Although Qin Shaoyan is a gentle and elegant son-in-law on the surface, he seems to be easy to talk to everyone, but in fact, he is quite proud in his heart, and he is easy to talk because he is not careful, if you doubt his strength, you have to say it well.

"Why, your wine may not still be the legendary drunken fairy. Qin Shaoyan raised his eyebrows and said, the old man shook his head with a smile, Qin Shaoyan continued: "Even if it is a star-stirring wine that is known as a saint and drinks it immediately, I can insist on thirty breaths without pouring, how does your wine compare?"

The old man shook his head, touched his beard, and replied: "Star wine, the old man has never heard of it, but if it is a wine that only a saint can keep sober, it is not much different from this altar of misery in my hand, but..."

"But what!" Qian Wanneng had already been impatient by the wine in the old man's hand, and when he saw the old man hesitating, he hurriedly asked. "But my jar is called Misty, and it is brewed with some flame essence, and every fifty years of vintage, the fire spirit will blend deeper with the wine. The wine in those large jars has not been brewed for a long time, and the flame essence in them is the strongest, so they will entertain you with the wine that has been brewed in these jars for more than 200 years. ”

Chen An was at a loss when he heard it, and he only felt that some of the words the old man said, although he didn't understand it very well, felt very powerful. He turned his head to look at Yiyi, who was sitting on his right, and saw the look on Yiyi's face, which didn't seem to know much more than he did.

Qin Shaoyan was silent after hearing this, the essence of the flame that the old man said in his mouth was the essence extracted from compressing the domineering and powerful flame with a great divine power to remove the impurities in it. Due to the overbearing nature of the flame used, this flame essence was even more difficult to control, even Qin Shaoyan did not dare to easily try to absorb the flame essence, and he didn't expect that someone would refine it into the wine, which was really amazing.

"Oh, I said you don't have to rub it anymore, just get it. Qian Wanneng said hurriedly, the old man hurriedly said yes, and came to the table in a few steps, and with a wave of his sleeve on the table, several cups appeared on the table. The old man slapped the wine jar, and the wine seal was bounced off, and a rich aroma of intoxicating wine suddenly emanated.

The old man picked up the wine jar and poured it for Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneg, and said with a smile: "This wine can't be drunk, please taste it carefully." Qian Wanneng's brows furrowed, a little displeased, but he was helpless, picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth, without the slightest intention of tasting it.

Qin Shaoyan held the wine glass, looking at the old man's courteous appearance, he carefully sensed the wine in the wine glass with his supernatural powers, and did not find anything abnormal, the scene at this time made him feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. In addition, the wine on the side of the mouth is indeed intoxicating, so I don't want to think so much, put it in my mouth and savor it.

"Good wine! Qian Wanneng shouted, handed out the wine glass to the old man, and the old man stood aside like a flattering old servant, and hurriedly poured wine for it. Qin Shaoyan wanted to drink only one glass, but he couldn't resist the temptation of this wine, he only felt that this wine had an indescribable taste, which made people unconsciously intoxicated, but he could still maintain a sense of sobriety in his heart, which was really strange.

Chen An saw that the old man only poured wine for Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng, and hung himself and Yiyi aside, and couldn't help but say, "Old man, I want to drink it too." "I want it too, I want it too. Yiyi hurriedly picked up a cup and handed it over, echoing.

The old man glared, stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Yiyi's delicate hand, and said, "Your realm is not enough, drinking it is harmful to your body, don't think about it." Yiyi retracted her hand, her face bulging, and she seemed to be a little unconvinced. Chen An saw that there was no fun in drinking, and it was not interesting to watch others drinking, so he got up and planned to look around.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the purpose of the three of them, and he was shocked, and looked at the old man suddenly, saying that this old man was not planning to use wine to fool Brother Qin and Brother Qian. The old man was still pouring wine for the two of them with a smile on his face, Qin Shaoyan caught a glimpse of Chen An staring straight at the old man, feeling a little strange, and suddenly his brain was excited, and he also remembered that he almost forgot about the business for the sake of drinking. Hurriedly blocked the mouth of the cup with his hand, and asked the old man: "Old man, you just said outside that you wanted to solve my doubts, I almost forgot, now you can tell me." ”

Qian Wanneng heard Qin Shaoyan say this, and also thought about it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, you old man, you just said that you should tell us everything, you pour it well, and pour us wine vigorously when you come in, you say, do you want to get by." Qian Wanneng's eyes were a little confused, and he seemed to be a little drunk.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and then he put down the jar and sat down in his chair. Said to Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng: "The old man is naturally not a person who breaks his word, now if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Qin Shaoyan and Qian Wanneng were a little stunned when they saw the old man so happy. Qin Shaoyan was the first to speak, "May I ask you, old man, why do you insist on treating us as the Black Bead Holy Envoy, and what is the matter you are talking about, and why do you have to be able to solve it." ”

Qin Shaoyan's series of questions were exactly what everyone present wanted to know the most, Chen An sat upright, leaning forward slightly. Yiyi also put down her hand and looked at the old man, in fact, she had always been a little incomprehensible to what the old man did after meeting Chen An and the others, but out of respect for the old man, she didn't say anything in her heart. And Qian Wanneng, who was drinking drunk, also put down his wine glass at this time and looked at the old man.

Seeing that everyone wanted to know the answer, the old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "You just need to remember that the old man never had the slightest intention of harming you, but really wanted to ask for your help, as for the reason?" ”

Speaking of this, a hint of nostalgia appeared in the old man's eyes, and he took out a yellowed piece of paper from his bosom and said, "Before me, there was a prophet in Bluestone City who could see through the past and the future, and I admired him very much at that time, and I tried my best to pass all kinds of tests before asking him to be my master. I learned a lot from him, and after a long time, one day, he called me over and handed me a piece of paper, saying that there was a danger of destroying the city in Bluestone City, but there would be three young people to save this trouble, and the way to find these three young people was written on this piece of paper. With that, the old man raised the worn-out yellow paper in his hand.

After Chen An listened, his face turned dark, and he slandered in his heart: You have to make up a better story, who would believe such a story, it is not as good as Da Mao. Then he saw that the old man did not feel sorry for the fact that the paper would be shaken even more torn, so he hurriedly snatched it up, put it in his hand and flipped it over and over, but he didn't see a word on it, and there was not even a pattern, it was just a blank piece of paper.

"Why don't you have anything on this. Chen An pointed to the yellow paper and said.

"You are not in a good enough realm to see. The old man glanced at Chen An and replied.

"Show me. Yiyi stepped forward, and her hair brushed on Chen An's face, instantly fragrant. "There's really nothing. Yiyi couldn't see anything, and looked up and said to the old man.

"Your realm is not enough. The old man replied lightly. At this time, Qin Shaoyan suddenly said, "Show me." Chen An was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at the old man, and thought, "You can't pretend to be able to do it now." ”

Qin Shaoyan took the yellow paper, frowned, then sighed and stood up. Chen An's eyes showed excitement, his heart was excited, and he said in his heart: "Brother Qin has seen through this clumsy plan, is this going to lift the table?" ”

"Old money, Chen An. We are the chosen one. Qin Shaoyan's face was filled with a sense of responsibility and pride in shouldering a glorious mission. Stretching out two hands, he patted Chen An's shoulder on one side, and patted Qian Wanneng on the shoulder on the other.

"What, Brother Qin, do you believe this. Chen An was dumbfounded, Qin Shaoyan, who had always been cunning as a fox in his heart, would believe such a clumsy lie. "Old Qin, what are you talking nonsense. Qian Wanneng asked. Chen An looked at Qian Wanneng as if he had seen the last ray of light.

Brother Qian, let Brother Qin sober up!

"Look at this. Qin Shaoyan handed the yellow paper to Qian Wanneng, who took the yellow paper, seemed to be a little drunk and couldn't see clearly, then shook his head and looked at the yellow paper. The same frown, the same sigh.

"Chen An, accept fate, we are the chosen ones. Qian Wanneng also stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Shaoyan, leaving Chen An with two majestic figures.

Chen An was completely dumbfounded, the state of the two of them at this time was very abnormal, he was shocked, and looked at the wine on the table. Now he seemed to understand why the wine was called Misty. And the old man at the table also looked at Chen An very kindly at this time.
