Chapter 32, Wine and Wealth
"Boating in the rain, the most meaningful!" Ning Jingchen said, and took out a long flute, the sound of the flute was low and tactful, a little melancholy, and the melody of implied feelings was transmitted to the river through the rain curtain, and many buildings and boats sounded the sound of the piano. The silent river suddenly became lively, and several building boats approached and stopped in front of the four people.
"I don't know which young lady has prepared wine today? I'll bring these friends to drink!" Ning Jingchen stopped his flute and shouted towards Lou Chuan.
There are many women standing in the smoke and rain on the boat, and the dancers with their water sleeves are constantly waving towards Ning Jingchen, among whom there are many bold, half-exposed breasts, raising their long legs and leaning on the railing to laugh: "If Ning Gongzi gives a painting, there will be no shortage of beauties and wine." ”
"I won't give away paintings today, just drink spirit wine!" Ning Jingchen waved his hand, and the girls on the boat still refused to disperse, competing to throw incense sachets on the shore, and bursts of incense wind came to their faces.
"Ning Gongzi is really ruthless, how can we hard-working women have spirit wine!" The flower sisters on the boat sighed sadly, but the sachet in their hands was thrown slowly.
"Ning Gongzi, my young lady, please come on the boat and talk about it!" A small bamboo shed boat suddenly appeared in the big boat, and a watery pink-clothed maid came out of the bow of the boat, and called crisply.
"Did your young lady bring spirit wine this time?" Ning Jingchen walked quickly to the bow of the boat.
"You drunkard, you sons are on the boat!" the maid scolded as soon as she opened her mouth, Ning Jingchen was not angry, and walked on the boat with a smile.
"Three?" the maid grinned and stared at the three of them
"Are you going?" Bai Yu watched Ning Jingchen get into the canopy of the ship, and turned his head to ask.
"Go, I'm afraid I won't be able to be eaten!" Dog Dan'er touched his bald head and quickly got on the boat.
The boat was not big, the four of them were huddled together, and Niu Aotian's head was on top of the bamboo shed. The host's light gauze covered his face, only his eyebrows and eyes were exposed, he was sitting opposite in an apricot yellow shirt, holding a pipa in his arms, and the maid dragged the plate, which happened to have four glasses of wine in it, and the host bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Looking at the woman opposite holding the pipa, the dog Dan'er felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
The maid laughed sweetly and greasy, and shook the wine in front of everyone, and the wine was fragrant. "My young lady said, a pot of wine, a painting, a song, an inscription, can Ning Gongzi afford it?"
"I can afford it, let's go!" Ning Jingchen waved his hand, and the boat went with the waves, the rain and fog outside the window were hazy, and the weeping willows on both sides of the bank loomed.
The three of them picked up the wine glass, the sound of the pipa gradually rose, the first tone was low, and the dog Daner didn't hear any doorway, and Ning Jingchen pushed the cup to change the lamp, the wine was not strong, with a fruity fragrance, the entrance was fragrant and mellow, slightly sweet, after entering the abdomen, a soft spiritual power spread, spread along the meridians to the whole body, and the aroma of wine actually overflowed along the skin, making people have the illusion of being in a flower orchard.
"No wine!" Niu Aotian held the empty wine jug and looked at the maid.
"The wine will come soon, don't worry!" The maid took the flask and smiled slightly.
The sound of the pipa has changed, high-pitched and excited, majestic and majestic, every string is like a rainstorm falling suddenly, more and more urgent, every sound is like thunder, deafening. The smoke and rain outside the window disappeared, and an ocean appeared, the wind and clouds changed, the thunder was endless, a thunderbolt hit the sea, the angry sea swept away, the boat rolled with the big waves, sometimes rose to the clouds and fell to the abyss, a hurricane came with thunder, tore the boat apart, and the whole person was brought into the storm.
The hurricane is like a giant dragon, swallowing thunder and lightning, and the ocean flows backwards along the dragon, and the sea and the sky merge.
"Harness the wind, harness the wind~ fast, fast, fast!" The dog turned into a golden lightning bolt and fled in the wind and waves.
The dragon's scales and claws turned into arcs of lightning, spreading all over the heavens and the earth, like a trapped ant.
"Hurry ~ Hurry ~ Hurry up!" "The dog kept accelerating, the blood began to boil, and the golden afterimages were drowned by the big waves.
"Hurry up~" The dog Dan'er frantically operated his spiritual power, and clearly felt that the blood began to burn, and the dantian was like a flame, which began to spread from the inside out, the meridians began to sting, and a flame erupted from the mouth, and then the meridians on the surface of the body began to crack, and flames continued to gush out of the body.
"It's a little close!" The cage behind him kept falling, the dog was gone, and a humanoid flame was speeding in the wind.
"Fast, fast, fast, faster than thunder!" Losing the thermal restraint of his body, the dog felt a lot lighter, and the pain was subsiding little by little.
Wind and fire blended, the wind under his feet was hissing, breaking through one huge wave after another for him, and with each step, the heavens and the earth were a little shorter, and the dragon behind him was no longer huge, and the cage turned into thunder and lightning again.
Looking back, the thunder and lightning have long disappeared behind him, the sea is calm, a small boat slowly comes, through the window, he is sitting in it, closing his eyes and listening to the music, looking calm. The song seems to have come to an end, like an empty valley echoing, ethereal trance.
The boat is near, the bamboo strips on the bamboo shed are clearly visible, and the song is also heard really, one touch and one pick, just like a beautiful woman whispering in the ear, which makes people happy.
"Whoa~" The sound of the pipa dispersed, the sound of the oars and the waves sounded, and the Weng Chau at the stern of the boat was retracting.
"Ning Gongzi, start to pay off the debt!!" Until the maid's voice sounded, the dog woke up like a dream, the boat was still on the river, and a bunch of willows with rain stretched into the window.
"Okay, you thrush, don't you see that we are reminiscing?" Ning Jingchen raised his hand and flicked it on the maid's eyebrows, causing the little girl to be shy.
"It's getting late, I can't wait!" the little maid pointed to the lights on the shore.
"I know, I've done all the work of eating and drinking!" Ning Jingchen waved his long sleeves, a piece of rice paper was spread in the air, and he held a long hair in his hand, and in just a few dozen breaths, a faceless portrait appeared on the paper. The jade hairpin is coiled, the pipa is in his arms, and the slender jade fingers are plucking the strings, which is undoubtedly the master's family.
Two lines of words are inscribed in the upper right:
The wine is fragrant, the song is wonderful, and the beautiful woman laughs hard
The rain is soft, the wind is light, and only the maid is noisy
Ning Jingchen put away the long hair, and handed the scroll out, but he didn't see a painting, this is also called a portrait?
The master was also very strange, and after a glance at the scroll, he asked the maid to put it away.
"It's clear, let's go, let's play in another place?" Ning Jingchen glanced at the dog who was in a trance.
"Let's go!" Dog Dan'er walked out of the bamboo shed with him.
"Where are you going?" the four stood on the bank of the river, watching the boat disappear into the night.
"Qu'er listened to it and drank the wine, why don't we go to the gambling house to have fun?" Ning Jingchen pondered for a while and proposed.
"Go, I haven't been there for a long time!" Goudan didn't say a word, and followed Ning Jingchen towards the city, just drinking and listening to music, drinking a lot of gains, I don't know what benefits this gambling house will bring to me.
The four of them came to the city, a gambling house, the dog was dumbfounded, this gambling house was noisy, in and out of the mortals, gambling on some gold and silver, instantly lost the desire to go to the table.
Ning Jingchen carried a bag of gold, squeezed into the gambling table as if he had changed a person, laughing and shouting with the gamblers, and after a cup of tea, even the money bag inlaid with gold thread was lost, and he returned to the three of them dejectedly.
"Hahaha~, you guy, you want to laugh at me to death? I know that the guy who shakes the dice is a good player, and he has been desperately suppressing it, that guy wins you a game with a gold ingot, and he makes a lot of money in all the losses!"
"Look at the young master's sharpness to kill him!" Goudan'er took out the gold and silver, rolled up his sleeves, and squeezed into the gambling table.
"Buy and leave!" The dealer at the table saw a stunned young man on the table, and shouted twice.
"You shake!" Dog Dan'er held a gold ingot in his hand and looked at the man across the table with a smile, his ears trembling slightly.
"Buy and leave!" The dealer must be colored, and the gold ingot in the dog's hand slipped from his hand and landed steadily on the small.
"Big, Big, Big"
"Small, small, small"
A dozen people stared at the dealer's hand and began to shout.
"Open!"
"One, two, one, small!" the dealer reported, and many people at the table scolded the mother.
DogDan weighed the two ingots of gold in his hand and prepared to start the next round of betting.
It was also a cup of tea, and the dog Dan'er left with Ning Jingchen's money bag under the gaze of the dealer.
"What do you say is good about this wine-colored wealth? It hurts the mind and the body, why can't the world understand?" Wandering down the street, Ning Jingchen asked.
"Ask me? How do I know! If everyone can figure it out, there will be saints everywhere in the world! Maybe it's because of the problem of vision, if they see the wonders of the spirit stone with the monk, they won't look down on gold and silver; after seeing the fairy daughter, the ordinary woman will become boring! If the vision is higher, maybe you can see through the great power of heaven and earth, understand the supreme magic law, and soar directly!"
"No, no, people always have to pursue a little, what is the difference between having no desire and no desire and plants and trees? When plants and trees are still successful! Mortals have no hope of cultivation, they can only focus on external objects!" Niu Aotian interjected coldly, making Ning Jingchen fall into deep thought.
"No, no, it's that people's seven emotions and six desires are difficult to control under the temptation of external objects, it is the weakness of mortals, and it is also the demonic heart of monks!" Bai Yu also discussed.
The four of them walked all the way, arguing all the way, and they didn't distinguish each other, until they walked back to the welcome building, and the topic ended.
Dogdan'er returned to the room and began to explore his body. Listening to music on the boat in the afternoon, the environment I fell into inexplicably was so real that my physical body seemed to have changed. The golden mangs in the bones are even stronger, and you can feel the strength of your own flesh and blood a little stronger between your gestures.
The feeling of speed in my memory was so real, as if I had really burned my flesh and melted into the wind, and with a step on my feet, a strong wind flew out, and the stools in the room were blown to pieces.
"The strength is still not enough, it seems that the physical body is still not strong enough!" Goudan'er was a little disappointed, and touched the gold steel bracelet on his waist, it seemed that he had to change his body to practice.
