Chapter 31: Drinking Yin Wine
We chased and fled for ten minutes, until the pheasant ran out of the poplar forest, and suddenly fell to the ground, struggling a few times without moving.
It seems that the pheasant has lost too much blood, and finally can't hold on to it.
The two of us ran over, picked up the pheasant with a happy face, and just about to turn around and walk back, Tie Zhu suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, and said, "Double happiness, look there." ”
I paused and looked in the direction of his finger, and found a small village a few hundred meters away, and I was chasing pheasants, but I really didn't notice this small village.
After looking at this small village a few times, I looked at each other and froze in place.
We haven't been in Nianzi Mountain, but I haven't heard that there is a village here, when did this village come out?
"Double happiness, I'm a little thirsty, otherwise, let's go into the village and beg for water." At this time, Tie Zhu swallowed and spat, and said.
Not only him, but I chased pheasants all the way, and my mouth was also dry.
Besides, I was very curious, and I wanted to go into the village to have a look, and inquire, what kind of village was this, and where did it come from, but I had never heard of it.
"Okay, let's go into the village and take a look, and by the way, ask what is the name of this village." I nodded and said.
Afterwards, the two of us walked along a path towards the village, and as we got closer to the village, I could see the appearance of the village clearly.
Some of the adobe houses are made of yellow mud, some of which are still covered with weeds, and I can roughly count them, but there are forty or fifty families.
Faintly, I could see the figures of people in the village, and the sound of people talking from time to time.
We followed the sound and stopped at the door of a house, which was different from the others, it was a large family.
The high brick courtyard wall, the blood-red vermilion lacquer gate, and the two big red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door, with two big longevity characters written on them, the voice I heard came from this house,
The two of us walked to the gate of the house, tiptoed on the gate, and looked into the courtyard along the crack in the door.
I saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, so it was not lively, and there were eight large tables in the center of the courtyard, with wine and meat on them, and a group of people were eating and drinking in full swing.
The two of us chased the pheasants all the way, and our stomachs were already thirsty and hungry, and when we saw the delicacies on the table, our stomachs suddenly growled in anger.
"Who? Who's out there? Ma San, you go open the door and take a look. ”
Obviously, the stomach screams of the two of us were heard by the people inside.
After a while, footsteps sounded, the vermilion door creaked open, and a man dressed as a subordinate appeared in front of us.
"Master, it's two fresh faces." The man looked at us expressionlessly, then turned back to the courtyard and said.
"Hey, we haven't been here in Majiagou for a long time, let them come in and sit." A slightly majestic voice rang out from the courtyard.
The man opened the door, turned sideways, and said to us in a stiff voice: "Two, today is the birthday of my old man, he invites you to eat and drink, come in and sit." ”
Tie Zhu and the two of us looked at the eight tables of wine and food in the courtyard, their eyes lit up, swallowed their saliva, smiled, and walked into the courtyard.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, the original loud noise stopped abruptly, and the people around the table turned their heads to look at us.
These men, men and women, old and young, looked at me and Tiezhu a few times, and then lowered their heads to eat again, and after a while, the courtyard became lively again.
At that moment, a man of about 50 years of age, with a rich complexion, black and white hair, meticulously combed, and dressed in a black robe with a round neck.
As soon as I looked at this person, I knew that he was a master horse, and looking at his dress, he was a rich man.
The garment he wore was smooth and slippery like water, and if I guessed correctly, it must have been made of silk.
I wondered at the time, silk is such a thing, even if it is placed in our village, few people can wear it, this small ravine, when did such a rich adult family appear?
Master Ma walked up to the two of us, looked at me and Tie Zhu a few times, and asked with a smile, "Two, where did you come from?" ”
"If you go back to Master Ma, we are from Daliu Village." Tie Zhu stared at the food on the table with his eyes intended, and said casually.
It's no wonder that Tie Zhu's eyes are straight, this big table of dishes, with wine and meat, are all good meals that can only be eaten during the New Year's holidays, not only he looked greedy, but even I almost couldn't help but tear off a chicken leg and eat it.
Master Ma nodded, and said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be from outside the mountain, since it was in time for my birthday, let's finish eating and leaving here." ”
Immediately, Master Ma clapped his hands and ordered his subordinates to add two chairs for the two of us, so that we could sit next to him.
"The two little brothers have worked hard all the way, come, I will toast you." Mr. Ma filled us with a glass of wine, raised his glass and said with a smile.
Tie Zhu was also thirsty, and without thinking about it, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Master Ma, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking, he still had an aftertaste on his face, and he sighed, obviously, this wine is quite delicious, and it seems that it tastes good.
"Master Ma, today you are old and have a birthday, I will toast you."
Since people are kind enough to invite me to dinner, we can't be rude, I picked up the wine glass, nodded to Master Ma, and just wanted to take a sip, but I was stunned on the spot.
Because, I saw a willow leaf floating in the cup, and for a moment, my eyes widened, and my face was full of incredulity.
I studied the Tao with the old man for a month, and although the Tao did not make much progress, I learned a lot about gods and ghosts.
The cup of wine in my hand is obviously soaked in willow leaves, which belong to yin, and this wine will become the wine of extreme yin, and it is the wine of the underworld that only ghosts can drink.
If I drink this cup of yin wine, I will definitely invade my body with yin qi, and if I don't get it right, the three yang fires on my body will be extinguished, and I will have to get seriously ill, and even the ghost will take advantage of the opportunity.
Thinking of this, I chuckled in my heart, and for a while my back was cold sweat, obviously, this old man Ma is not a good class, how can anyone drink yin wine for his birthday, if he wants to drink, he should drink yang wine.
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, put down the wine glass, silently stretched out my hand to wipe it on my eyebrows, and said silently in my mouth: "Quickly open the eyes of the sky, the divine light travels, the four roads are opened, the heaven and the earth are connected, the front and back, the left and right, the hole reaches the eight directions, the essence of the two eyes, each returns to its palace, and it is as urgent as the law." ”
As the incantation was finished, the heavenly eyes in my eyebrows opened.
The moment the eye of heaven opened, I happened to see the iron pillar, and I saw that the three yang fires on the top of his head and left and right shoulders had dimmed, and there were even signs that they were about to be extinguished.
Seeing this scene, I panicked in my heart, and the secret way was really like this, this wine was really yin wine, and the yang fire of the iron pillar was about to be extinguished.
Then I opened my eyes and turned my head to look around again, and I was suddenly frightened and bloodless, and I was shocked.
I saw that those who were eating around the table had changed their appearance at this moment, their faces were purple and blue, their eyes were black, and the corners of each of them were foaming at the mouth.
