Chapter Forty-Eight: Alcoholic Bees
Qingyang finished talking about the things in the main hall, and Hu Zhentai went on to talk about their next experience, saying that they found a three-way crossing, and the intersection was blocked by a thick fog, and everyone discussed a way to remember the road with a rope, and Qian Banxian touched it.
Hearing this, the Xi Ying Immortal Master glanced at Qian Banxian quite unexpectedly, and said: "The mist should be a maze array, which can confuse the divine consciousness of immortal cultivators, but I didn't expect that a group of ordinary people of you would find a way to crack it, it seems that I really found the right person to find you in this time." ”
Then Hu Zhentai said that when everyone passed through the fog and entered a deserted garden, and stayed in it for seven or eight days, Xi Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, and the other two immortal masters stretched their necks, waiting for Hu Zhentai's next words.
Because they knew very well that even if it was a deserted garden, there were good things in it, because when the garden was deserted, it was impossible for the predecessors to clean up the garden without a dime. No one has entered the garden for so many years, and although there is a lack of special management, there must be wild elixirs.
Hu Zhentai was not in a hurry to talk about the harvest inside, but first took out the beehive, and then talked with a heavy look about his eldest brother Hu Zhensong and Songhe Lao Dao and others who found the beehive, and then accidentally alarmed the bee colony, and the eldest brother was stung to death by bees.
After all, Hu Zhensong was the organizer and leading brother of this secret trip, and died for this matter, Xi Ying Immortal Master rarely patted Hu Zhentai on the shoulder, and gave them some comfort to the Tiger Gang, and then Xi Ying Immortal Master picked up the hive and looked at it for a long time, frowned and said: "This seems to be the legendary honeycomb of alcoholic bees." ”
"Alcoholic bees?" Xiping Immortal Master wondered, obviously he hadn't heard of any alcoholic bees either.
Xi Ying Immortal Master said: "Alcoholic bees are also a rare spirit insect recorded in ancient books, with two main characteristics, one is that alcoholic bees are fond of wine, and they are crazy when they encounter wine, and the other is that the honey they make is also a kind of spirit wine. The honey collected by the alcoholic bee is fermented when it is sealed, so the honey of the alcoholic bee still has a strong smell of alcohol, and the longer it is stored, the more mellow the flavor of the wine, and eventually it will become spiritual wine, which is said to have the effect of increasing cultivation. ”
Xi Ying Immortal Master not only heard his nephew's words, but everyone else also heard them clearly, so it was so, no wonder everyone was attracted by the smell of wine at the beginning. The honey of this spirit insect can even increase the cultivation of the immortal master, and the effect on ordinary people like them is even better, but unfortunately everyone only got a bite at that time, and they didn't even have time to taste the taste.
Immortal Master is not easy to see through the thoughts of others, Xiping Immortal Master listened to Uncle Shi's words, and said with emotion: "It's really strange that bees can also make wine, this alcoholic bee is still a spirit worm, no wonder it can kill that Tiger Zhensong." ”
Xi Ying Immortal Master said: "Actually, strictly speaking, when they encounter a drunken bee, they are not spirit insects, they can only be regarded as quasi-spirit insects, otherwise, it is not a matter of just killing one Tiger Zhensong." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiping Immortal Master asked.
Xi Ying Immortal Master seemed to be a good teacher, and he didn't feel impatient at all with his nephew's question, but explained: "The real spirit insect is the purple-backed wine-loving bee, which evolved from these ordinary wine-loving bees, and the purple-backed wine-loving bee has a purple pattern on its back, and its strength is strong, even in the face of the disciples in the Qi refining period. And these ordinary alcoholic bees are equivalent to the Open Pulse Realm, and only in the case of a group attack or a sneak attack can they potentially injure the Qi cultivators. ”
Xiying Immortal Master said in detail, Xiping Immortal Master understood it, and couldn't help nodding again and again, Uncle Shi deserves to be Uncle Shi, and everything he talks about is the Tao.
And Qingyang, who was narrating, was also secretly frightened when he listened, and it was only then that Qingyang realized how lucky he and his master were to survive. Isn't the purple-backed wine bee the queen bee among the bees? The strength of the queen bee is not worse than that of the two immortal masters of Xiping and Xining, and it is not at all something that they can deal with.
If it weren't for the fact that the lid of the wine gourd was shaken open, the seven bees would have been sucked into the wine gourd, and I am afraid that ten more pine cranes would have been given in vain.
So what purple-backed wine bees are really that powerful? If you can figure out what this wine gourd is all about, and then you can control the queen bee that was sucked in, wouldn't you have a powerful helper? But he just thinks about it casually, how could such a good thing fall on his head?
At this time, the Xiping Immortal Master suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Uncle Shi, can this wine-loving bee's honey really increase cultivation?" ”
Xi Ying Immortal Master said: "Of course, but the quality of the honey is also related to the level of the spirit insect and the nectar he picks, if it is a purple-backed wine bee, and the nectar of the spirit flower is collected, then the honey brewed is a really good thing, as for the ordinary honey made by this ordinary wine bee, it is also a little useful to the disciples of the Open Pulse Realm, and it is better than nothing for you during the Qi refining period." ”
After listening to Uncle Shi's words, Xiping Immortal Master suddenly turned around and said to Hu Zhentai: "Tell me honestly, where is the honey in this hive?" ”
Hu Zhentai was shocked, could it be that the matter of them stealing honey was discovered by the immortal masters? But at this time, he definitely couldn't admit it, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Immortal Master, this was the case when we found the hive, there was no honey in it. ”
The Xiping Immortal Master was immediately furious, and suddenly his momentum was released, and he shouted, "How can there be no honey in the hive? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? ”
Hu Zhentai bore the brunt of the attack, how could he, an ordinary person, withstand the momentum of an immortal master in the Qi refining period, his legs suddenly weakened, and he collapsed on the ground, trembling and speechless. The others were not much better than Hu Zhentai, and they were all frightened by the momentum of the Xiping Immortal Master, and they all fell to the ground one after another.
Hu Zhentai was in a cold sweat and almost collapsed, and at this moment, Xi Ying Immortal Master waved his hand and said: "Xiping, forget it, the honey of ordinary wine-loving bees is not of great use to us monks, it doesn't matter if there is or not, these people have entered the secret land, and they can be regarded as having been born and died for us, and that bit of honey should be regarded as a reward for them." ”
Uncle Shi interceded, and the Immortal Master of Xiping collected his momentum and said: "Uncle Shi, you are just too kind-hearted, these people are all old oilmen who are mixed with the rivers and lakes, if you don't give them a strong deterrent, who knows if these people will be lucky and deceive us?" ”
Xi Ying Immortal Master said: "Our harvest in this matter is not small, this beehive itself is a very good spiritual thing, at least it can be sold for hundreds of spirit stones, and there are four bee chrysalis in it, go back and give it a try, maybe you can raise a real alcoholic bee." ”
