Volume 2: Chapter 22 of the Hundred Generations of Practice
"I didn't think there was such a story in this glass." Tao Yuan stared at the refreshing wine in his hand.
"There's always a shortage of stories." Shopkeeper Cen smiled, "Who doesn't have a story?" ”
"In this way, the master you are talking about is a monster in the demon world?"
"That's right." Shopkeeper Cen nodded, "My ancestors called it the fox general, and it was a fox demon. ”
"Have you ever seen one?"
"Nope." The shopkeeper said, "In the past, my ancestors often went to the demon world to collect raw materials, but then someone found a way to transplant that raw material to the vicinity, and no one went to the demon world to collect it anymore...... It was a long time ago, and I had never been to the Demon Realm. ”
"That's it......" A hint of disappointment drifted through Tao Yuan's eyes.
Shopkeeper Cen caught this subtle expression and asked tentatively, "Could it be that the little brother's trip is related to the demon world?" ”
"No ......" Tao Yuan smiled slightly, and took another sip of wine, "If you drink five jars of drunken immortal brew without getting drunk, you can eat and drink as much as you like in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion without taking a penny...... This rule has been passed down in honor of your ancestors? ”
"So to speak." Shopkeeper Cen nodded.
"Looks like you're pretty confident in your wine." Tao Yuan said with a smile.
"Aren't you drinking? What do you think? ”
"Wine is good wine! I don't know if it's really everyone who is not drunk. ”
"It's not boasting. At the beginning, my ancestor Cen Sanzhong brewed drunken immortal wine, brought the first batch of wine back to the demon world and gave it to General Fox, General Fox drank with my ancestors, my ancestors drank six altars, and General Fox only drank five altars, both of them were drunk, and they woke up after a whole night. My ancestor drank an astonishing amount of alcohol, and General Fox had a thousand years of cultivation, neither of them could escape this drunken immortal brew, let alone mortals in the world? Cen shopkeeper said.
"But you just said that you thought there was another drunk one. Could it be ...... Have you ever met someone who wasn't drunk? Tao Yi couldn't help but ask.
"There are only two people in the world who drink five altars and are not drunk." The shopkeeper smiled, "One is my ancestor named Cen San." ”
"There's one more person who showed up just three days ago."
Shopkeeper Cen recalled that three days ago, an old man in blue appeared in this Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Dressed in a plain blue robe, with pure white hair and beard, at a glance, it has the meaning of fairy wind and bones.
As soon as the old man sat down, he only wanted wine.
Altar after altar, the old man drank slowly and leisurely, from day to night.
Shopkeeper Cen was curious and sat down to talk to him. Asked him, "Sir, are you just drinking?" Would you like a few side dishes? I can send you a few. ”
"Old decay is not hungry, just begging to be drunk. Seeing that you threatened to be a drunken immortal, I came to try it. ”
There are more than five jars under the table.
Shopkeeper Cen suppressed the shock in his heart, and asked unhurriedly: "The old gentleman is really massive!" Where are you from? Why do you want to come to Jiule Street? ”
"Wait for someone."
"Who?"
"Wait for a fool who always makes mistakes...... He'll be here soon. Before he comes, I'm going to trouble you, Shopkeeper Cen. ”
I haven't said my last name yet!
The old man in front of him is not a simple character!
The shopkeeper Cen was still a little stunned, and the old man had already walked out of the door.
A guy shouted, "Sir, you haven't settled the bill yet......"
"If you drink five altars and don't get drunk, you won't take a penny." The old man put his hands behind his back, "I still have to come here to eat a few more overlord meals." ”
……
"That mysterious old gentleman will come here every day to drink, and if you calculate the time, it is estimated that it will come soon." The shopkeeper smiled.
"Oh?" Tao Yuan frowned slightly, "Is there really such a god in the world?" ”
"Actually, I think it......" The shopkeeper laughed, "he may not be ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a blue figure appeared at the door.
Blue Feather Immortal sat straight beside Tao Yuan.
The square table was filled by four people.
"Old man, here you go again." Shopkeeper Cen smiled.
Blue Feather Fairy stroked his beard: "I've been waiting for you kid for three days, but it's here." ”
Tao Yuan was taken aback and said, "The old gentleman is waiting for me?" ”
"Or else." Lan Yuxian didn't have a good airway, looked around again, and his eyes fell on Tao Yi, "No wonder it's a few days late, it's because it's not convenient to travel with your sister, right?" ”
How does this old man know everything?!
Tao Yuan became alert, this old man was unfathomable, and he didn't know what his intentions were to wait here.
"Old man, I don't know what is the matter with you waiting for the juniors here?" Tao Yuandao.
"To save your life."
The old gentleman's words are amazing!
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't speak for a long time.
Tao Yuan came to his senses and said, "Old man...... The juniors don't quite understand, please tell us the truth......"
Tao Yi's heartbeat sped up a lot, and he involuntarily grabbed his brother's arm.
"What's not to understand about this?" Blue Feather Immortal raised her eyebrows, "You will die in the Demon Realm. ”
Shopkeeper Cen wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I'm a little confused...... Is this little brother going to the demon world? ”
The old man in front of him seemed to know everything, and there was no point in hiding it any longer, so Tao Yuan said: "That's right, the junior's trip is to go to the demon world and destroy the monsters inside." ”
"Huh!" Shopkeeper Cen waved his hand again and again, "You can't go, you can't go!" The monsters in the demon world are not easy to mess with! Little brother's trip must be more auspicious! ”
Tao Yi's heart, which had been stable for a long time, rose again: "Brother! In this way, the demon realm is really dangerous, let's not go......"
"......" Tao Yuan drank a bowl of wine.
"Do you want to listen to your sister?" Blue Feather Immortal Dao.
"It's hard to disobey your fate." Tao Yuan shook his head.
"Brother!" Tao Yi pulled Tao Yuan's sleeve, "Compared to what royal city." I want you to ...... more."
"Little sister, things are not so simple." Lan Yuxian said lightly, "If your brother doesn't go and disobeys the king's orders, the human emperor will blame Longyuan City, and when the time comes." Your father and mother, and even many people in Longyuan City, are going to suffer. ”
"But if you go, your brother will ......"
Tao Yi didn't understand, how could the old man speak so lightly with such cruel words, as if he was discussing how to dispose of chicken, duck and fish.
"If this is Tao Yuan's fate, Tao Yuan has nothing to say." Tao Yuandao.
"Brother!" Tao Yi was almost in tears.
"Alas! Never mind. Lan Yuxian smiled helplessly, "Fortunately, I'm used to it, if you are willing to give up Longyuan City in order to protect yourself, it will be a strange thing." ”
"But, old man, is there really no solution to this matter?" The shopkeeper asked, "This little brother is very close to me, wouldn't it be a pity if he really fell into the demon world." ”
"Grandpa, you just said that you came here to save my brother's life, do you have any other way?" Tao Yi asked nervously.
Tao Yuan put down the wine bowl and listened carefully.
"Let me tell you this, God's arrangement is that either Tao Yuan will die in the demon world, or Longyuan City will suffer disasters, and there must be one of the two." Blue Feather Immortal Zhengse said, "My task is to let you know about this situation, as for whether or not he can save Tao Yuan's life, it depends on how he chooses." ”
"However, now it seems that Tao Yuan already has an answer." Blue Feather Immortal Dao......
Tao Yi lay on the bed and didn't say a word.
Tao Yuan stood in front of the door for a long time: "Yiyi, you won't blame your brother, right?" ”
The room was silent, and Tao Yi was thinking: "If I knew this, I should have let my brother stay at home in the first place, and don't go to find someone else." ”
But my brother only wants to have his own city and live a happy life with his mother...... Don't you have such expectations?
"If I knew this, I should have stayed in the small courtyard with my mother, and I didn't recognize my brother, so that my brother would not have our burden."
There were tears in the corners of Tao's eyes.
"Yiyi, let me go in and talk to you, if something happens tomorrow, do you want our last memories to be separated by this cold wooden door?" Tao Yuan leaned his head against the door and sighed deeply.
Tao Yi opened the door.
"Brothers and sisters of ordinary people, sleeping together, eating at the same table, regardless of each other, love is stronger than gold. But our brother and sister have been separated since childhood, and we have not seen each other for 20 years. It's rare to recognize each other, but it's only a few months, and life and death will be separated......" Tao Yi said, and shed tears again.
"Maybe it's the old man's gibberish!" Tao Yuan squeezed out a smile, "He said that I was dead, and I was really dead?" You don't know your brother's skills, there are not many monsters in the world who can kill me......"
"Brother. Say no more. "I want to sleep." ”
"That ......"
"I'm afraid, and if I'm usually afraid, my mother sleeps with me......"
"Then my brother will sleep with you today."
"Hmm."
The two of them lay on the bed, clasping hands.
"Brother, I'll go with you tomorrow, even if you die, you can die together."
“…… Good ......"
"Then I'm not afraid of anything."
"Hmm. Go to sleep. ”
Tao Yuan opened his eyes and listened to Tao Yi's steady breathing: "Sleep well, silly sister." Even if you don't have a brother, you have to live well in the future. ”
Tao Yi opened his eyes and listened to Tao Yuan's steady breathing: "Brother, sleep, after tomorrow, we will never be separated." ”
The two of them had their eyes open and had not slept all night.
