Banquet: Dance of the Four Seasons

3. Four Seasons Dance

Before Xiao Rin and the others arrived, there were already a lot of monsters gathered on the edge of this sapphire-like lake.

Some of them sat on the floor in human form, and in groups of twos, they took out their glasses, scooped a pot from the small sapphire-like lake, and drank from it. These are Sven's guys, and the slightly more active youkai don't have this demeanor. They simply turned into prototypes, took out a huge water tank, scooped up a tank, and devoured the sea food at the mouth whale.

"Haha, you can't drink enough. A small black snake that seemed to have not yet transformed scooped up a bowl of sapphire water with its tail and drank it down. It staggered, and taunted the little red bird beside it, which had four wings and three legs, and was full of scarlet arrogance: "Wow, isn't this going to work? Do you want me to help you pick some fruit and juice it, hahaha......"

"Squeak!" The four-winged and three-legged little red bird was immediately annoyed when he heard this, and its four wings flapped fiercely on the little snake's head. It looks very powerful and domineering, but she is still in her infancy, and she obviously doesn't have much cultivation, let alone transformation, even if she is a goblin. Strictly speaking, according to the course of practice, it is at best just opening the door of spiritual wisdom. In short, this scene is someone bullying a child!

"Oh, oops, it hurts! I'm going to die!!" the little snake screamed sadly, but it didn't mean to take off the little red bird at all, and let the little child run wild on his head.

"Squeak!" I don't know if it was infected by the joyful atmosphere in the field, the four-winged and three-legged little red bird jumped down angrily, and the scarlet arrogance around it was even stronger, it looked around very domineeringly, and looked at the surrounding monsters to cheer, it angrily buried its little head in a bowl of wine handed over by the little snake, and drank it with a grunt.

When it had drunk all the wine, the youkai next to it applauded.

"Little bird, you are really arrogant, pure masters!"

"That's it, it's really giving us a monster long face!"

"The little bird is mighty, and the iron-blooded man is ......"

"Little Bird will me in the future, and I will ensure that you have wine to drink every day!!"

Although this four-winged and three-legged little red bird was already drunk and dizzy, hearing the remarks of the pure masters and iron-blooded real men, the little bird still flew to the heads of those monsters and kicked them hard...... She's a lady!

She believes that after her transformation, she will be the most beautiful lady!

"Hahahaha, you guys. ”

"I really deserve it, but I can't joke about the beautiful youkai lady~"

Those powerful monsters snickered, and then moved their eyes to the little snake: "You guy is also not serious, and it is really ugly to abduct this kind of little lady to fight with you...... No shame, old fellow!"

......

"Don't bully children, let's drink!" came a roar from the depths of the sky. Then the whole sky suddenly darkened, and all the light was blocked by a huge wing. It was a huge bird that I don't know how to describe, and from the valley, the entire sky above it was nothing more than a few wings.

Hao Haoran didn't know where it was, and its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, unreachable, unreachable, and invisible.

"Does Lan'er know this phoenix bird?"

It was also the first time for Xiao Rin to see such a huge creature, she raised her head with a little interest, a flash of holy cyan brilliance flashed in her eyes, and she observed this magnificent and atmospheric mythical creature with a grander vision. In the macro concept, this mythical creature has a chicken head, swallow jaw, snake neck, turtle back, fish tail, and is covered with colorful xia feathers.

Lan Xin sat beside Xiao Rin and raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with this guy's move to cover the sky. She poured Xiao Rin a glass of wine and whispered, "I saw it twice at the banquet a long time ago, but I don't know it well, and it doesn't operate in the Yang World. ”

"Well, this is the first time I've seen such a huge mythical creature. ”

"Rin, if you want to say it's huge, this phoenix bird is far from qualified, hasn't Rin just seen a more magnificent life form. Lan Xin smiled lightly and pointed to the little snake that abducted children: "Don't be deceived by its appearance, this is a super ancient predecessor." ”

"Yo Yo, what about bullying people with your body?"

The little snake didn't look at it, but drank the large bowl of wine in one gulp, its half-open eyes slightly open, and shook its body in a mysterious and unpredictable manner. In an instant, whether it was a continent or an ocean, or space or time, the foundation of the existence of the entire world was violently stirred, and the space where they were located suddenly shook three times...... However, it is amazing that this action that should have been devastating did not cause any disaster.

"Don't! Don't!!!How could I use this form to fight with you. The sound descended slowly from the grandeur that shook the sky, and when the last word came out, the mythical creature that had obscured the sky disappeared, and was replaced by a small sparrow standing in front of the little snake.

It twisted its lower neck at will, as if adjusting to a gesture it hadn't shown in a long time. Then it stretched out its little wings, reached out and cut through the space, and took out a huge liquor steel to scoop up an entire vat of wine from the wine lake.

"Lao Ba, come! I don't believe I can't drink you, I lost to you last time, I don't accept it!" The little sparrow stood by the vat and looked at the little snake defiantly, and then jumped down towards Jiugang. The sapphire-like liquid in the vat faded at a rate visible to the naked eye, and within a minute, a small sparrow with a round belly crawled out.

"It's your turn, drink if you have a kind!"

"Hahaha, come on, I'll let you know this time! What does it mean to be unconvinced!! the little snake didn't show weakness when he saw that it was so drunk, and took out one according to the size of its wine tank, and jumped down after scooping it up.

Some of the monsters around me gathered around.

"Since 30,000 years ago, Tianyi, the phoenix bird, has fought with the snake six times, has he ever won?"

"It seems、It seems that I haven't won once......"

"yes, I wonder how it will be this time?"

"No drama, no drama, this guy definitely can't drink Lao Ba. ”

Rin stared at the wine vat where the snake had entered, this guy and the sparrow were just projections of these two mythical creatures, no, it was not appropriate to be a projection, they were indeed snakes and phoenixes, but the posture they showed at this time was only a very small part of them...... Just now, she couldn't observe the body of the snake with that grand vision, and there was no trace of the snake's existence in the whole world.

It wasn't until she stretched her entire horizon to the Three Thousand Worlds of the Universe that she saw the existence form of [Ba Snake]. Outside this world, in the infinite space, there is an immeasurable behemoth that runs through countless worlds. The giant snake that traverses time and space, each scale is a complete world, with no head or tail in sight.

Even with such a macroscopic vision observation and the observation of such a huge existence, Xiao Rin knew that all he could spy on at this moment was a very small part of the great existence named [Ba Snake].

......

After a few glances, Rin didn't care too much, after all, this was a banquet for youkai, no matter how great the monster predecessor was, she was mentally prepared, and as a guest, she naturally didn't need to care.

She watched with a little amusement as the snake and the phoenix bird fought for a while, and after seeing that the two of them couldn't tell the winner for a while, she turned around and asked Lan Xin: "Lan Er...... Anyway, the banquet has already begun, right?"

"It's started," Lan Xin glanced at her in surprise.

"Isn't it supposed to be the host, the host or something to come out and say a few words?"

"Rin Ah...... There aren't that many rules here, and even if only one guest arrives, it's already a banquet from that moment on. Of course, even if 10,000 come, it's a banquet, and there is no difference. There is no such thing as an opening, and there is no such thing as an adjournment. When the guests come, it is the beginning of the banquet for him, and when the guests leave, the banquet is naturally over for him. ”

"Rin, okay~~" Lan Xin pointed to the lake full of wine and looked at Xiao Rin with a little provocation.

"Okay!" Rin responded decisively, full of confidence.

Although he didn't drink often in this life for various reasons, Rin's addiction to alcohol never stopped.

When I was still young in high school, I was entangled in my own condition, so I naturally didn't drink well. In the four years she has been in Maoshan, she has devoted all her time and energy to cultivation, and naturally she has never touched alcohol. Later, after leaving the school, I followed the two little girls most of the time, and it was not good to set a bad example. And now...... Although I am an adult, I have tasted some wine, but I have never really enjoyed it.

I can't let these sisters and friends around me know that I am an alcoholic, and I must not do this kind of thing that destroys my image and temperament! Of course, the most important thing is ...... She didn't want Tsuki to know that she was an alcoholic...

"Really......?"

"Of course~, by the way, Lan'er knows who is the organizer of this banquet?"

"Who knows? Rin doesn't care, whoever it is, it must already be here. At this moment, all Rin wants is to enjoy himself and enjoy this rare banquet to the fullest. ”

At this time, dozens of monsters had gathered on the edge of the wine lake. There are mythical creatures with grand bodies such as phoenix birds, which have cultivated to the realm of big monsters. There are also snakes with grand bodies, traversing the heavens and stars, containing endless worlds, and have already moved towards the [Heavenly Realm]. There are also ordinary creatures who are ignorant, and even have just opened the door to wisdom.

After drinking the wine in her hand, Xiao Rin took the wine utensils she had prepared from Lan Xin's hand.

She strolled to the lake and made a jug of wine.

"Lan'er, have a drink. Rin eagerly helped Lan Xin to fill up.

Compared to her, the wine utensils prepared by Lan Xin are all delicate things, the blue and white porcelain wine lake is no more than a foot high, and the wine glass is also small and exquisite, Xiao Rin poured the wine, put the sapphire-like wine to his mouth, and slowly tasted it.

Obviously holding it in his hand and entering the room, the first sip was as clear as an ice spring.

This is definitely the most delicious wine Rin has ever tasted, sweet, fragrant, mellow, and thick, with a constant sweetness in the mouth.

The most amazing thing is that when Rin took the second sip, the wine was as clear as an ice spring, and it was as hot as the heath of the hottest summer.

Rin didn't expect this change to be so drastic, and covered her mouth and coughed slightly.

"Rin, choking?" Lan Xin raised her glass and took a sip of it, seeing that Rin seemed to be choked again, she reached out and patted her on the back gently: "Rin may not know it yet, the location of this wine lake is the origin of the convergence of all the spiritual veins in this world. This world is not big, the sky is only 13,000 zhang, the earth is only 230,000 zhang, and the radius is 50,000 li. This world has never given birth to any powerful creatures, let alone gods and monsters. Except for this wine lake, it is really a very ordinary place. ”

"Then this wine lake was also created by accident in this world?" Rin drank the wine in his hand in one gulp, and this time the wine in his mouth was not clear and no longer hot, but warm and refreshing like spring.

She could feel that every change of seasons in her mouth was a year for the strength in her body. It doesn't depend on the amount of wine, but the wine contains the imprint of the four seasons of this world, regardless of size or grade, and each sip of the four seasons is a year.

"Yes and no......" Lan Xin pinched the wine glass and explained to her, "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, Lao Ba was not so huge, let alone the way of heaven. At that time, it searched the world for suitable orchards, and after about a thousand years, it got tired and could not find a satisfactory place. At that time, it happened to arrive here and found this small lake where the spiritual veins of the entire world gathered. It was a little tired of giving up at that time, and threw the spirit fruit seeds it had collected from many worlds by the small lake where the spiritual veins were sourced. ”

"And after that?"

After that, it went home and went to sleep, and when it woke up again, and remembered it again, the lake had already appeared. Hehe, Lao Ba's sleeping time has always been calculated in 10,000 years, and when it came here again, it was 13,200 years later. The fruits from all the worlds are nourished by the endless aura, they will ripen every year, the ripe fruits are not picked, and when they fall, they are attracted by the spiritual veins and fall into the small lake, ten years and a hundred years, after tens of millions of years, the lake water of this lake has become the most luscious wine, and the name of this wine we give it is [Four Seasons]. ”

"The warmth of spring, the fire of summer, the sweetness of autumn, and the crispness of winter are very good wines, and they have a good name. ”

Rin flicked the wine glass in her hand, she put it down, and boldly picked up the flask and drank it in a big gulp.

"Haha, Lan'er, since it's a monster's banquet, our previous drinking method was too elegant. ”

"Rin, it's good to be casual here. Lan Xin covered her mouth and chuckled, she stood up, took the empty Jiuhu from Rin's hand and scooped a pot for her: "Now your little lover is not around, let's have a good time." ”

......

"Two young ladies, come and have a drink!"

Coming in front of him was a huge tiger, covered with a thick fierce aura.

It was nine feet tall before it could stand up, and it was now clutching a huge bowl of sea with one paw and drinking.

Seeing Xiao Rin's bold way of drinking, it was also very interested. For these two beautiful monster ladies, I have a good impression: "Whoever can drink me, I will let her ride around, we can go outside hunting, although the wine in this wine lake is delicious, but the wine lake is full of some fruits, and the beaks are fading out of the birds, not refreshing." ”

Seeing Rin's eager expression, Lan Xin consciously made a gesture of please: "Rin, you want to win." ”

"Ah...... Okay, come on. Rin took a big bowl from the tiger's hand, pointed at it arrogantly and said provocatively: "Today I will definitely drink you down, so that you will not accept it!"

"Lovely young lady, very confident~" The two sharp tiger teeth flashed with cold light, and the big tiger looked like 'you can't do it with this small body~'.

......

There are more and more guests participating in the demon banquet in the valley, and the monsters who like wine have gathered around the edge of the wine lake, bringing their own drinking utensils, either boldly or elegantly. Some of them have already taken shape, and some of them are still small monsters, and they do not maintain the state of goblins, and they have turned into prototypes.

"Good wine, but no matter how good the wine is, I can't drink it with fruit, how can good wine not be worthy of good meat!"

A middle-aged man with a handsome upper body and a horse on the lower body poured a bowl of wine and shouted. This guy looks like an experienced youkai. He ripped his clothes and pulled out a set of kitchen utensils.

"Haha, you don't want to make a fire here to cook, do you?"

"Great, great, I'm also a chef, old pig, and I'm here to help. ”

"You praying mantis, I see that your knife skills are good, why don't you come and help?

"Come on, come on, my old Tang never uses a second knife to cut people, and cutting vegetables is just as neat!"

They cleaned up a place, made a stove, lit the fire, cut vegetables, and were busy: "Come on, come on, Lao Ma, I have prepared a deep-sea twelve-section lobster, Changbai Mountain old white ginseng, the best shark fin, and Thailand's top elephant pull...... Oh, old elephant, I didn't see you here, and I'll take it when I pull it out. ”

"What to collect, eat!" Not far from the centaurs, an elephant with long white hair and a pair of white jade-like ivory on his head shouted: "Lao Tzu has not eaten anything, elephant pulling is a good thing, come on, I will help you deal with it, I have blood honey from the abyss blood soil here, and it is the most delicious after being drizzled." Then it turned into a tall, stocky old man with frenzied gray hair, who rolled up his sleeves and ran to help.

"Haha, the old elephant is powerful!"

"Eat, you must eat!!"

"Eat, eat, eat, don't eat, it's not a demon !!"

......

"Lan'er, there are also foodies among the monsters. ”

"Hehe, there's nothing in the monsters, not only foodies, but also funny. Lan Xin pointed to a young man under a tree, who was bare-chested and breast-bared, but his body was as thin as a bamboo pole. It was smiling evilly, throwing a little crab that didn't know how to run into the wine glass, and talking to the wine glass with a look of interest: "Hahaha, little brother, how does the big brother treat you, isn't this wine delicious!"

The little crab protested with its pincers, and it spat bubbles in its mouth as if cursing the tease.

"Hahaha, this little guy is going to be a drunken crab. ”

"Come on, come on, let's go and steam it in the pot. ”

......

Drinking the first bowl of wine in one gulp, Xiao Rin pushed the dizzy tiger away, her slightly immature face and cheeks were crimson, and her deep and calm eyes were also thick with mist.

Xiao Rin's drunken appearance looks really beautiful and seductive......

Rin burped: Leaning on Lan Xin, who was slightly distracted, "Lan'er, is this really okay?"

"Of course not, anyone who enters the Demon Banquet Hall can only be a creature that opens the door of spiritual wisdom and can get the same qualifications as all the monsters present. Even though that guy was a tease, it didn't really hurt his back, he was just teasing the crab. ”

"What about creatures that don't have their minds turned on?"

"Let's see what these guests mean. It may be to help it open the door to wisdom, or it may be to eat it directly as a dish. Lan Xin said as a matter of course, and then she looked at it and asked, "Rin doesn't like it?"

"Why, isn't that normal. Even for me, a beast that doesn't turn on its sanity is just food. Isn't it natural for them to be just beasts and not youkai? ”

Many of the little monsters who were attending the banquet for the first time were a little frightened when they saw these common monsters and big monsters, and they lowered their heads and cautiously walked past them. Whenever this happens, there will always be seniors who have participated in the demon banquet to pull it over and pour a few cups of it.

Gradually, they were infected by the joyful and relaxed atmosphere of the banquet and slowly blended in.

"Come on, come on, beautiful Miss Yokai, this is for you. Then the centaur came over and brought a large plate of very tempting meat, and he smiled and put the plate in front of the two of them, and pointed to the food on the plate and said, "This is lobster skewers, this is blood honey elephant pull, this is braised clams...... Haha, don't look at my cultivation is not very good, my kung fu is all in cooking, and I am a very famous chef in the yang world. ”

Xiao Rin was not polite, reached out and grabbed a piece of crimson and tempting elephant pulling on the plate and put it in his mouth, and suddenly a thick but not greasy delicious taste spread in his mouth. Rin squinted comfortably and said, "Well, it's delicious, it's great!"

"Haha, if you like it, come and get it after eating. ”

"Come on, come on, let's have a drink. ”

The three of them touched their glasses and drank the wine in their hands in one gulp. The centaur wiped his mouth, looked at Xiao Rin and said, "I just like a bold guy like you...... Hehe, this youkai lady is not arrogant enough. He pointed to Lan Xin's small cup and chattered.

"Okay, okay, you can be arrogant. Lan Xin rolled her eyes angrily.

"I'm embarrassed to eat for nothing, I'm going to hunt. Tiger, do you want to go?" I don't know when the tiger has wobbled to his feet, looking at the plate of meat and drooling.

Hearing Xiao Rin call him, the tiger immediately responded: "Go, why don't you go." Come on, I'm willing to gamble!"

Xiao Rin jumped on the tiger and pointed in a direction after a moment's concentration.

Following the direction of Xiao Rin's command, the two quickly caught a few creatures that looked like pheasants, and Xiao Rin was not satisfied, so they flew to the deep sea far away and caught a few big fish back. After Xiao Rin handed over the ingredients to the cooks, Tiger went to find someone to fight again, while Xiao Rin returned to Lan Xin and sat down.

After a while, I saw that a few tables and chairs had been moved under the tree where Lan Xin was.

On the small round table, in addition to the wine and the plate of meat, there were several more cakes that had been cut.

Lan Xin, on the other hand, sat comfortably at the table, holding a wine glass, drinking slowly and elegantly.

Lan Xin took a sip of the wine glass slightly to her lips, savoring the taste of the four seasons and four temperatures in the wine.

"Lan'er, you just said that there was no cake... Rin sat on another chair at the table, and Lan Xin, who was slightly dissatisfied, poked her cheek: "Stingy, obviously there are a lot." ”

"Hey, I didn't lie to you, these are rabbits' private collections. Lan Xin didn't care about Rin's small movements, and stretched out his hand to point to a fruit tree with golden apples growing in the distance. Qi Meng's fox was pressing Bai Huan, pouring glass after glass of wine into her stomach.

Haha, it's strange to say, I've been poured a lot of wine, and Bai Huan, the little rabbit, doesn't have any traces of drunkenness except for a slight infrared on his cheeks. It's surprising that there is a good amount of alcohol.

......

"Living Jizo, is this a demon feast?"

Another wooden door appeared, and an old man with monocles and a little girl appeared at the banquet. The little girl may not have adapted to the identity of the monster, and after seeing that there were many strange guys at the scene, she didn't dare to leave when she stood beside the old man.

"yes"

"Can I drink then?"

"Of course you can, but don't drink too much. ”

The old man casually went to the lake and scooped up a pot of wine, came to a young tree, and took out the tables and chairs.

He poured a glass for the little girl: "This is Lao Ba's wine of the four seasons, and if you drink some, it won't be intoxicating." ”

"Is it delicious?" it asked the newborn Miss Soul Burial.

"It's delicious," the little girl took a sip and drank it in a few moments.

She looked at the living Jizo and said again solemnly: "It's delicious!"

β€œ...... Do you want to?"

"Hmm!"
