On the other side, Sun Yueying, who walked into the underground through the secret passage, had already noticed that something was wrong, because there was only a corridor below that seemed to have no end in sight, and he wanted to go back to question Huang, but found that the secret passage had been closed. Helpless, he could only stand there and curse loudly, and then walked into the depths of the corridor. After walking out of the corridor, Sun Yueying also came to the stalactite cave.

"What the hell is this place?" Sun Yueying naturally didn't know that it was the road to the ruins, because although he often came to the Dionysian Villa, Huang didn't allow him to go to the ruins once, so he was naturally afraid that he would find something from the ruins, so as to obtain a way to brew Tusi Huang.

Soon, Sun Yueying came to a crossroads in the stalactite cave, he didn't know that the road in front of him was coming Hu Shuntang and the five, and they were judging how to go, whether to go straight or turn right. The one on the right is also a stalactite cave, but it is filled with multicolored smoke and the smell of sake lees.

At this moment, Sun Yueying heard Huang's words on the radio: "Keep going, go along the road, and you can meet." ”

Sun Yueying was not stupid, he immediately realized what was going on, so naturally he would not go straight, he didn't want to turn right directly and run into the stalactite cave next to him, and disappeared into those colorful smoke.

When Sun Yueying disappeared into the smoke at the same time, Hu Shuntang and the others also came to the crossroads, and Huang's voice instructed them again: "Go straight is the road to Dionysian Villa, and turn left to find Sun Yueying who just escaped in, although I am very happy for you to come as a guest, but you are here for Sun Yueying after all." ”

"That's a lot of nonsense." After Hu Shuntang threw down this sentence, he was about to go to the left, but He Changqing stopped him.

He Changqing looked at the cave on the left and said, "It's very strange in that cave. ”

Hu Shuntang said: "Do you feel it?" ”

He Changqing said: "Yes, I feel it, I heard a lot of voices, and they are not the voices of living people." ”

Wei Chi Chi felt it carefully, but he didn't feel anything, just felt that the multicolored smoke was beautiful. He looked at Tang She, Tang She also shook his head slightly, he didn't feel anything, but He Chenxue, who was behind them, hugged his arms, and his lips turned purple.

Tang She immediately stepped forward to hug her and asked, "Chenxue, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's so cold," He Chenxue's voice was trembling, "There are bursts of cold air pouring out of it, and it's seeping into my bones." ”

Everyone didn't know why He Chenxue was like this, it seemed that her feelings were stronger than He Changqing and Hu Shuntang. But Sun Yueying was close at hand, and they had to find him to ask what was going on, otherwise this trip would be in vain.

"Follow me," Hu Shuntang finished pulling out the soul suppression nail and walked in, he just walked into the colorful smoke, and saw a figure rushing towards him, he subconsciously avoided it, and at the same time stabbed it with the soul suppression nail, but it was stabbed into the air, and the figure disappeared in an instant.

He Changqing, who followed behind Hu Shuntang, said: "That's not a living thing. ”

Hu Shuntang nodded, he naturally knew, but he also knew that it was not a ghost spirit, but another kind of thing, but what this kind of thing was, he couldn't say, he hadn't seen it before.

Wei Chi Chi vigilantly broke off, in front of him was Tang She who was supporting He Chenxue, He Chenxue trembled, kept looking around, and from time to time saw a figure rushing towards him, and disappeared without a trace at the moment he approached him.

Tang She asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that when those things pounce, I feel very cold," He Chenxue shivered again, "It came again just now." ”

The multicolored smoke was so thick that they couldn't see anything else inside the cave, not even the road on the ground, but they could smell the strong smell of sake lees getting heavier and heavier.

Hu Shuntang in front of him suddenly collided with something, he touched it with his foot, and then touched it with his hand: "It's a barrel, and it's made of stone, there are a lot of them, and they are placed around us." ”

He Changqing stepped forward and touched it, then sniffed it closely, and said, "It's a barrel for fermentation." ”

Hu Shuntang said: "Fermentation barrels for winemaking?" ”

He Changqing said: "Yes. ”

He once looked for branded yin wine in the source world Hu Shuntang, so he also knew some of the process of winemaking. The earliest human beings discovered such a thing as wine because the milk and fruits of humans or mammals are easy to ferment into a strange taste, and after drinking this kind of thing, it will make people have a wonderful feeling, at first it is excited, and then it will produce a wonderful feeling of dizziness, and it is extremely easy to fall asleep and sleep. After the development of human society, after the birth of agriculture, there was finally a real sense of wine, that is, wine made from grains.

China invented the use of koji to make wine during the Yin Shang period, and it is also the first country in the world to use koji to make wine. Koji, on the other hand, is made by mashing moldy grains as a medium, and the mold in it will multiply in large numbers, which is called koji. Sprouted grains produce amylase, which converts starch into sugar, mashes the grain sprouts, and uses them as a medium to inoculate mold, which becomes a tiller. Koji and tiller are two substances that are indispensable in the sake brewing process.

The first step in China's cereal-made liquor was rice wine, and the first step was to soak the rice in water, which can promote the hydrolysis of starch, and the soaking is usually done in a vat or barrel.

Hu Shuntang put the soul suppression nail into the stone bucket and stirred: "It doesn't seem to be rice in it." ”

After He Changqing got closer, he sniffed it, and looked at it carefully: "It's a plant, something like herbs, the smell of medicine is very strong, and there is indeed some rice underneath, but there are very few." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding multicolored smoke dispersed, and the dispersed smoke formed a multicolored cloud in the cave, and the multicolored cloud turned into a small tornado as it swirled, and when it landed, it turned into a human figure.

The smoke had formed in groups of people, some standing together discussing something, others looking at the stone buckets, and others holding tools into the stone buckets.

Wei Chiran said: "It seems that these smokes are a restoration of the process of brewing wine. ”

He Changqing said: "It's not that simple, there are souls in these smokes. ”

"Spirits?" Wei Chiran was surprised, "In the smoke? ”

Hu Shuntang nodded and said: "Yes, I also feel it, it is not a simple smoke, some people don't know how to seal their souls in these smokes." ”

Soon, the human form formed by the smoke dispersed again and turned into the thick fog that had been before, and the thick fog gathered into a cloud and slowly floated in front of them, as if to guide them forward. At this time, everyone saw clearly that the stalactite cave where they were located was like a warehouse for storing grain, the ground was covered with lime, and there were stoves around it, apparently to keep the temperature and humidity in the cave at a certain standard.

The smoke quickly led the group to a second cavern, which was several times larger than the previous one, with five huge stoves lined up.

Hu Shuntang said: "This should be the second step, steaming rice, that is, soaking rice to steam and cook, so that the starch is absorbed and gelatinized by heat, which is more conducive to fermentation." ”

However, there was a foul smell in this cave, He Changqing carefully inspected those stoves and found that in addition to the ashes of plants and trees, there were many blackened bones in the stove, judging from the bones, it should be the bones of livestock, cattle, sheep and pigs, but I don't understand, why throw these things into the stove, can the bones be burned?

Opposite the stove was an open space, the clearing was covered with dried blood, and the multicolored smoke began to transform into a human form as before, and the smoke human form began to demonstrate the process of steaming rice, but before that, they slaughtered the sheep and killed the cows as a sacrifice, and then cleaned out the bones of the cattle and sheep, removed the meat from them, and left only the bones, and then put them on the stove to dry, and then threw them into the stove and burned them with wood.

Wei Chiran felt very strange, why did he have this step? Hu Shuntang was also puzzled, if the bones of animals were burned, even after drying, there would still be a smell, and this smell could easily seep into the steamed rice above, causing the rice to turn sour.

After the smoke figure dispersed, everyone found that the cave was actually divided into two parts, one part was the area for slaughtering and steaming, and the area behind was a larger open space, above which there was a cave leading to the outside world, and there were many small caves around, and standing below, they could feel the wind blowing in, and the smoke formed a human form again, and began to be busy there.

Wei Chi couldn't understand it, and asked, "What is this doing?" ”

Hu Shuntang explained: "This is to cool the steamed grain, spread out the steamed grain, and quickly reduce the temperature to the minimum, which is suitable for microbial fermentation and reproduction. ”

Although there was a passage behind the clearing, it was covered with black smoke that looked like a toxic substance, forming a barrier that people would not dare to enter.

At this moment, everyone found Sun Yueying standing outside the black smoke, looking at the cave wall.

"Sun Yueying!" He Changqing stepped forward and shouted.

Sun Yueying trembled, and after seeing He Changqing and the others, he pulled his legs and prepared to run, but the road was blocked, and his only way was in the passage covered with black smoke. Sun Yueying stood there and looked at Hu Shuntang and the others, and then looked at the black smoke, as if he had made a lot of determination, and went in.

At the moment when Sun Yueying got in, Hu Shuntang, who was originally going to chase in, subconsciously stopped, because he, He Changqing and He Chenxue saw the black smoke turn into a skull in an instant at the same time, and swallowed Sun Yueying with his mouth wide open.

"See?" Hu Shuntang stopped and said, "It's not that I'm dazzled, right?" ”

He Changqing shook his head slightly, while He Chenxue looked afraid: "There seems to be a lot of ...... in there"

Tang She asked, "A lot of what?" ”

He Chenxue said: "Many people are screaming. ”

Screaming? Wei Chiran listened carefully, but he didn't hear anything, and he didn't see the black skull that He Changqing and the others saw. However, Wei Chiran found a lot of heterogeneous ciphertexts on the stone walls around the entrance of the passage.

Wei Chi stepped forward and said, "Master, you see, it's a heretical cipher!" ”

He Changqing stepped forward and looked: "Sure enough, it's a heretical cipher." ”

Tang She asked, "What is written on it?" ”

"Don't worry," He Changqing looked at carefully, "I have to look slowly." ”

Hu Shuntang walked up to the black smoke and tried to get in, but the moment he touched the black smoke, he felt that he had touched a ball of cotton with mucus, and it also brought a tingling sensation, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

"It's an enchantment," Hu Shuntang shook his head slightly, "We can't get in." ”
