At this time, Guo Wuyuan came back, had changed into a white dress, and invited the three of them to sit down. Wuyuan lifted a tight-mouthed, pot-bellied wine jar, and was about to pour the wine, then put the jar on a few cases, and said to the man who led the way: "Go and ask Guo Huang to fetch the good wine I hid in the cabinet." ”

When the man had not been gone for a long time, a man of 1367 came in, carrying a pottery wine jar carved with exaggerated snake and bird-shaped patterns, put down the wine jar, and without saying a word, he withdrew.

Guo Wuyuan opened the wine jar and poured four glasses of wine, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing. Wuyuan, please taste the wine, and the three of them do not move the wine cup.

Wuyuan said to Wu Zhen: "I heard that the master was born as a nobleman of the Yongguo Kingdom, and he was an official of the Chu State, so he has a lot of knowledge, why is he stuck to it today?"

Wu Zhen said: "Life and death are fateful, and I can't complain about anyone, but this family is old and young, and it collapses like this, how can you not be sad!"

"In troubled times, what is the difference between life and death?"

Wu Zhen sighed when she heard this: "The old man is a master. ”

Wuyuan said: "I'm not a master, because I often go to Lin Yunguan and Du Fuzi for recreation, I have gained some knowledge. ”

Wu Zhen listened to Guo Wuyuan's words, and said, "That's it, just drink this severed head wine!"

Wu Cheng will not give up the last meal of wine when he is dying, and said: "Die under the wine, be a ghost and a hero!"

Wu Zhen shouted: "Do you have any rules for drinking!"

Wu Cheng said angrily: "Your life is going to be extinguished, what kind of stinky rules are you talking about!"

Wuyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry about him, he doesn't speak properly, he can drink as much as he wants, today, we don't talk about wine etiquette." ”

After a few glasses of wine, Wu Zhen said: "Thank you for your father-in-law's treatment." This wine is rare in the world, and before he died, it was a pity to be able to enjoy this superb product. ”

Since I have eaten wine in Tu's winery, Wucheng has never touched the wine, the wine worm has grown a belly, and when I see good wine, I forget my life, I have already had a few stomachs, the jar is empty, and Wuyuan has people to send it. Wu Cheng came up drunk, forgot most of the life-and-death matters, and asked drunkly, "Where did you get this wine?"

Guo Wuyuan was originally a person who talked a lot, and he was also a little drunk, so he said: "This wine is not an immortal product, but it is better than an immortal product, and it has some origins." Many years ago, a master and an apprentice came from the capital. When I arrived at the mouth of the Danfu Water Dragon River, I saw a clear spring gushing out from the cliff several zhang high, like a rainbow in the sun, soaring down, like a flying dragon entering the water. The old master called the Zhou family to come closer, took it with his mouth and tasted it, and was overjoyed, saying that there is no better water in the world, it is dragon water, which can make fine wine. So I docked at the nearby Tho's village, rented a workshop, cleaned it clean, invited two guys in the local area, purchased some grain and grass, and brewed three urns of sake, named 'Longxiang Qing', which is actually completely the brewing method of Baxiang sake. ”

Wu Zhen knew that Ba Xiangqing was a famous wine in Ba country, and the most famous one came from the belly of the fish, so she nodded while listening. According to the record of "Water Classic, River Water Note": "The river water is also the former mausoleum of the fish's belly county...... On the left bank of the river, there is Ba Village, the village people are good at brewing, so it is commonly known as 'Ba Xiangqing', and the county is famous for wine. "Baxiang sake brewing time is long, brewed in winter and ripe in summer, the color is clear and the taste is heavy, it is the top grade of the wine, and the reputation is well-known, so that later King Qin Zhao and a Ban Yu of the Ba people signed a covenant: "Qin invades Yi and loses a pair of yellow dragons, and Qin loses sake for a minute." It is said that the yellow dragon is the dragon cast in brass, and the sake is the Ba Xiang Qing. Wine can be used as a fine for the covenant, which is rare in history, which shows the great reputation of Ba Xiangqing.

The specific production process of Ba Xiangqing has not been found, or has been lost.

Guo Wuyuan continued: "The master poured an urn of wine into the river, named Xie Long Wine, an urn was given to the master of the Tho village, and an urn was divided into several jars with the disciples and taken away. At the time of parting, the master passed on the secret recipe of brewing to an honest and honest man. The guy who got the secret recipe later became a wine-making heirloom, and he was also called 'Gonghou Drunk'. Today's wine, which was given to me by the lord of Tho Village, is the best product, except for Hu'an Palace, it is difficult for ordinary people to drink. I am the head of the cell, and I am glad that I no longer easily beat a prisoner into a sinkhole, and cut off the second half of the prisoner's life, so I have never beaten a person into a sinkhole with my own hands. In another month, I told the old man to return to his hometown, and the doctor recommended that the dog succeed him as the head of the prison camp, and the king of Yi has given permission. I thought that I could make a consummation of merit, and I didn't want to suddenly receive an order from Hu'an Palace a few days ago, and a cadre of criminals was going to enter the sinkhole. Just now, I saw that the three of them were heavy in their minds and had no way to persuade them, and suddenly they thought that there were still a few jars of wine to talk about their troubles."

When the wine was in their stomachs, the three Wu clans fluttered up, forgetting the dangerous situation for a while.

Wu Zhen said: "The kindness of the old man can only be reported underground." Where did the master brewer come from?"

The more Wuyuan spoke, the more excited he became, and he even said a little bit without rounds: "Legend has it that the ancestor of the old master made wine for the Shang royal family and the Zhou royal family, and then settled in the hometown of the fish belly (now Yunyang County), where the wine brewed by the people is the best in the country." He was originally the master of the imperial wine room in the main palace of Ba, specializing in brewing the famous wine Ba Xiangqing, because of the private wine, he sent a can with his friend Bananbo. Banambo had a bold temperament, greedy for its mellowness, drank too much, got drunk, and accidentally broke his head. On the night of the incident, the old master was afraid of asking for guilt, so he and his lover went out of the city overnight, because he was alone, so he planned to go to his apprentice's hometown of Danfu to spend the rest of his life in the upper reaches of the water. ”

Wu Zhen said: "In this way, this wine has a great origin, and it is a pity not to taste it!"

Wucheng has the best wine in his life, and when it comes to wine, he became interested and said: "Baxiang sake is very different from other wines, what is it made of?"

Wuyuan said: "Baxiang sake is soaked with herbs, so its mellow taste is rare in the world. "Wencao, it is said to be Wujiapi.

Wu Zhen carefully picked up the wine cup again and sniffed deeply, but felt that the mellow breath was straight to the heart, and after two more sips, she already felt that it was better to be drunk than to die.

After a few more glasses of wine, the three of Wu's mood were paralyzed by alcohol, and gradually became cheerful, Wu Zhen said: "Life is a life, the grass and trees are autumn, late and early, all of them are gone." As the saying goes: If you die, you have to die to understand, may I ask my husband, what kind of criminal law is the punishment of this sinkhole?

"The three of them don't know that there are five famous dangerous places in the territory of the Gu family, and everyone in Pakistan knows the big names, namely Jinba Mountain, Dream Valley, Wanfeng Linhai, Longxia, and Tiankeng. After entering these five places, all those who can live out are blessed by gods and ghosts, so a few sentences have been circulated in the local area: Jinba Mountain, there is Gongzi fir (silver fir), the wild man takes off your clothes and wears it; the wind forest, as deep as the sea, you can't see it when the sun rises; Dream Valley, many wrong paths, I don't know what way to return home; Longshui Gorge, long clip, ten people go into ninety percent of the slag; big sinkhole, bottomless deep, demons and monsters swallow people. ”

Wu Zhen exclaimed, "Why is there so much danger here?"

"I don't know this, there is a saying in Tongdu and Jiangzhou: You don't need to teach your children, you can go to Dan Fushui. When the Wuzi was gone, the whole territory was returned to the Wu clan, and there were only three places in the Dream Valley, the Dragon Gorge and the Tiankeng, and no one came to surrender. Wu Wuzi said: "The so-called Tiankeng, Longxia, and Dream Valley are dangerous places for the locals, and I expect that since the Baihuba people entered Hu'an Mountain, the escaped natives entered the deep mountains and canyons, and they have been enemies with us for generations. I don't think it's just a native pretending to be a god and a ghost, so he is playing tricks, and his inauthentic witchcraft does not believe that he can win the magic of the White Tiger God and the Eagle God. In my territory, I will not allow others to sleep and fall asleep!' So he sent three bands of warriors, twenty masters each, to explore the way, and then planned to use his army. Everyone couldn't stop persuading them, asking for divination, but it was fierce again, Wu Zi said: Do it again. The second time was auspicious, so he insisted on sending someone. As a result, after the three teams of samurai went for a few months, four people came back from Dream Valley and two people from Dragon Gorge. Twenty people fell from the sinkhole with a long rope, and the people above waited for a whole year, and not one of them returned. ”

Wu Zhen was shocked again: "Do you know what happened?"

"The people who came back from the Valley of Dreams and the Dragon Gorge said: Some are missing, some are killed, some are eaten, some are not in the river, and some are dead for unknown reasons. He was shocked and said: He did not listen to the gods and ghosts, and more than 50 warriors died. Five dangerous places, in the future, it is not easy to enter, and cast spells on the edge of the sinkhole and Dragon Gorge, and set up ghost soldiers to prevent demons from coming out. Later, he said: There are still a few people living out of Longxia and Dream Valley, and there is not a single scum in the Tiankeng, and in the future, the people who have committed the most heinous crimes will be sent into the sinkhole, which will be regarded as execution, and if they can find out the news and come back, they will be exempted from his crimes, and they will be rewarded heavily. Wu Wuzi is a person who does not admit defeat, and he wants to find out the secret of the Tiankeng when he is dying, so he ordered the construction of this Tiankeng prison camp, and let the people who go down the pit enjoy good scenery, good food, good wine, good singing and dancing, so as to remember to come back and report the news. Therefore, the future generations of Tiger Amber remembered his words and wanted to complete this matter. At the beginning, the Tiankeng Prison was originally very simple, and some people in later generations wanted to surpass the exploits of Wu Wuzi, and the rules of the Tiankeng Prison Camp became bigger and bigger. Even the ancestor of the clan, Wuzi, is afraid of the sinkhole, except for the people who have been knocked down from the sinkhole, where else does anyone dare to go? How many years have passed, and how can anyone come back?"
