Chapter 64: Drinking Wine and Eating Meat in the Misty Forest
Liu Qi followed Ouyang Chen into the thatched house, and found that the thatched house was also very simple, and it seemed that Ouyang Chen was not a person who was greedy for enjoyment.
"Come on, come on Senior Brother Liu, sit, my place is relatively simple, but there are still places for us to eat meat and drink wine, haha," as he spoke, a person came in from the door, and when that person entered the room, Liu Qi could even hear the sound of snorting and panting coming from his mouth.
"Huhu, Senior Brother Liu, you can be regarded as out of the customs.... , huhu, but wait for me to die,"
"Okay Nangong, isn't Senior Brother Liu here, you better put your breath out of breath first," At this time, Liu Qi couldn't cry or laugh when he saw Nangong Tao, but now Nangong Tao is also a monk in the foundation building period, and he will run out of breath.
Nangong Tao glanced at him after listening to Ouyang Chen's words, found a chair and sat down very casually, as if this was his home.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, I don't know what the three of you are looking for me?"
"Hehe, Senior Brother Liu, don't be in a hurry, let's drink wine and eat meat first, and then it's okay, and don't want the senior brother and senior brother to call it in the future, it seems that there are more lives, anyway, we were born and died together, don't we, call me Ouyang in the future, the two of them are one Nangong and one Nalan, we won't call you junior brother in the future, just call Liu Qi directly, I don't know what the junior brother thinks so?"
"Haha, that's a good point, so what's the matter if we call it like that in the future, and it's just a title, and I, Liu Qi, am not a reserved person,"
"Haha, Liu Qi is really a reasonable person," Ouyang Chen said as he took out a wine jar and four large bowls.
"Nangong, did you bring the appetizers you brought?"
"Look at what you said, can I not bring it? You ask like this because you don't feel at ease with my Nangong doing things, hum," said Nangong Tao took out a plate of dishes from the storage bag, he kept taking it all the time, and only stopped after taking out eighteen plates, while the long table in front of Liu Qi was full of large and small plates.
Nangong Tao looked at everyone's stunned expressions and said proudly,
"How is it, Ouyang, is my Nangong Tao reliable in doing things?"
"Uh-uh, Nangong, did you steal all the dishes from the kitchen in the door?"
"Look at what you said, you only stole half of it, hehe,"
"Oh my God, you're really not afraid of a chef hacking you with a kitchen knife, but I have to praise you for doing a good job, haha, now we can have a good drink,"
"Liu Qi, you see that I made so many dishes for you at the risk of being hacked to death by the cook, I can't drink less today,"
"Uh, uh, uh, rest assured, let's not get drunk, not drunk,"
"Haha, that's a good point, then let's do it," Nalan Yu poured everyone's big bowl full of wine,
"Dry dry dry," everyone drank the wine in the bowl in one breath, and then poured it full, and the four of them finished drinking a bowl and picked up chopsticks to eat the dishes, at this time Liu Qi remembered that there were still some things to ask Ouyang and the three of them, so he said to Ouyang Chen while eating,
"Ouyang, how did you come out of the secret realm, why didn't we see you in the secret realm after we finally separated?"
"Oh, you mean this, in fact, I also feel a little strange about this thing, we all dispersed after the final separation in the secret realm that day, and several of us were not together at that time, but I found that I couldn't get out of the place I was at all, it was like a labyrinth, no matter how I walked, I was spinning in the same place, and after leaving the secret realm, I asked a few of them, and they encountered the same situation,"
Liu Qi looked at Nalan Yu and Nangong Tao suspiciously, the two nodded at Liu Qi and said that there was no problem with what Ouyang Chen said, Ouyang glanced at Liu Qi and continued,
"Although we have been spinning in place, we have not encountered any danger, that is to say, we have just lost our way, but we have not been harmed in any way, we just can't get out, I don't know how long this situation has lasted, and then I simply didn't leave, sat down and started meditating,"
"Well, I've been in this situation too, but I used a different method to get out of the maze I encountered, but how did you get out next?"
"I don't know how long I've been meditating, but while I'm meditating, I suddenly felt a tremor in the earth, and then a group of them appeared in my sight, and then when we reappeared, we were already in the valley we just entered,"
After listening to Ouyang Chen's words, Liu Qi couldn't help but be surprised: What? They were directly teleported out, that is to say, they didn't see the mountain at all, let alone the fairy sword, this, is this a coincidence? Or did someone arrange it like this? Why did it take the four foundation building period monks to see the fairy sword at that time?
After Liu Qi found out that he knew what happened to Ouyang Chen and the others in the secret realm, not only did he not contact the doubts in his heart, but instead let the doubts in his mind become more and more, but he knew that these were not to be told to Ouyang Chen, because the immortal sword was not visible.
"By the way, Liu Qi, why did you come out so late later, did something happen?"
"Well, yes, my senior sister and I met Zhang Yan and Gao Jun in a valley, but we only met the two of them, and then we had a big battle with them for a spiritual material, and in the end, my senior sister was more powerful and defeated both of them,"
"Needless to say, the reputation of Senior Sister Shangguan back then was known to everyone in the younger generation, and those Zhang Yan, Gao Jun, and all of them were beaten up,"
"Nalan, the senior sister you said is too unbearable, right, you still need to beat them, senior sister can kill them with just one finger,"
"Okay, Nangong, the more you talk about it, the more you go too far, Senior Sister is very powerful, but it's not as exaggerated as you said, okay, but Liu Qi, how did you get promoted to the Foundation Building Stage in the Secret Realm? I remember that when we separated, you were only in the late stage of refining weapons,"
"Uh, well, well, in fact, I also encountered the same dilemma as you, that is, a labyrinth, I also said just now that it was walked through with a special method, and this special method is to advance to the foundation building period,"
"Could it be that you can get out of that maze by advancing to the foundation building period?" Nalan Yu looked at Liu Qi suspiciously,
"That's true, at that time, my spiritual sense and aura have been greatly improved after I advanced to the foundation building period, so I saw some unusual flaws in the labyrinth, so I used that flaw to walk out, but even when I walked out, it was very difficult,"
"Oh, it turns out that the labyrinth still has such a magical place," Nangong Tao showed a look of sudden realization at this time.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, it's already a blessing in misfortune that we didn't die in the secret realm, come, so that we can come back alive and have a drink," said Ouyang Chen took the lead in raising the bowl, Liu Qi was afraid that they would continue to ask about his promotion, seeing Ouyang Chen hurriedly respond to the wine, and soon several people would start to drink and eat meat in large chunks, and no one mentioned the things in the secret realm.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Ouyang Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Liu Qi.
"Liu Qi, I told you when I first came here that I had something to do with you, and now I can almost talk to you," Liu Qi saw Ouyang Chen's serious face, and couldn't help but put down the chopsticks that were picking up vegetables and looked at Ouyang Chen, not only that, but the other two stopped moving, they were all waiting for Ouyang Chen to say something.
"Liu Qi, let me ask you one thing first, do you know what is the most important thing to survive in the cultivation realm?"
"Well..... , Xiuwei?"
"Is it true or not," Liu Qi looked at Ouyang Chen suspiciously, he didn't know what Ouyang Chen meant by whether he was right or wrong,
"That's right, because cultivation is indeed the most critical issue in determining a monk's strength, but have you ever thought about what we need to use to improve our cultivation?"
"Resources,"
"Yes, it's resources, resources are the foundation of the entire cultivation realm, and all the battles in the cultivation realm also come from the competition for resources, including our four major sects, I think you should have heard Senior Sister Shangguan mention these things," Liu Qi nodded, and Ouyang Chen continued,
"So if we want to continue to cultivate, the resources we have to cross in front of us have to cross, although we are disciples of the great sect, but the cultivation resources we get every month are limited, so when the three of us came back and successfully built the foundation, I had an idea,"
"What thoughts?"
"When we become a foundation building monk, we are eligible to receive some sect tasks in exchange for corresponding rewards, but there is a task in the service hall that has extremely rich rewards, but there are not many people who accept it,"
"Oh, and such missions?"
"Yes, this task is not dangerous when it is dangerous, and it is not very safe to say that it is safe, the key is to depend on luck,"
"Luck?"
"Yes, this quest requires the monk to enter the most dangerous forest in the Four Directions, the Misty Forest, to find the skeleton of a ferocious beast, and this beast only exists in the Misty Forest, not anywhere else, so if we take this quest, it means that we have to go there,"
"But does this have anything to do with luck?"
"This kind of fierce beast only appears on the periphery of the Misty Forest, and it is equivalent to the strength of the foundation building period at most, but in the periphery of the Misty Forest, there will be high-level fierce beasts from time to time, if we encounter these high-level fierce beasts, I am afraid we will not be able to come back alive,"
"In that case, why don't you let those high-ranking monks go after these beasts? they seem to have a better chance of success,"
"What you say is also reasonable, but there is a very strange beast in the misty forest, no one has ever seen this beast, but if there is a monk in the Jindan stage or above who enters the misty forest, the beast will first issue three warnings, if the person who comes does not listen to the dissuasion, then there is only a dead end, even the Mahayana monk is no exception,"
Liu Qi's mouth couldn't close in surprise after hearing Ouyang Chen's words, what? Even a Mahayana monk would die in the hands of that fierce beast, what was that fierce beast? Could it be that it came from the immortal realm?
