Chapter Twenty-Five: The Five

Tianyi looked at the dishes on the table and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Each dish is fragrant, the assembly is very exquisite, and the carved vegetable parquet is also very fine. Lei Lin was holding chopsticks and was almost unable to control his hands.

Ouyang Xiu filled the wine glass for everyone, picked up the wine glass and toasted a glass of wine, "Thank you for coming, I, Ouyang Xiu, am grateful, the wine in this cup is the nectar brewed by Senior Sister Yanxin, mellow and gloomy, you taste it well, I will do it first." As he spoke, he looked up and drank his glass.

Everyone then raised their heads and drank it all, but after drinking the wine, a voice like a copper bell rang out, "It's so spicy, it's so spicy" Lan Xinyao stretched out her little tongue and shouted, and everyone laughed heartily when they saw this.

Then everyone ate with chopsticks and I ate with chopsticks, and Ouyang Xiu played the role of a commentator, "This dish is the tail meat of Gu Ze's specialty golden-toothed short-tailed crocodile." This golden-toothed short-tailed crocodile is a third-level demon beast, its skin is tough, but the meat is tender and abnormal, especially this tail meat is a rare delicacy in the world. Everyone stretched out their chopsticks, and the meat was indeed delicious, oily but not greasy.

Ouyang Xiu pointed to another dish, "This is a loving female fish, it is a special product under Lingxu Mountain, named after its fish head similar to a woman, and it is also a third-level demon beast, this female fish only has a one-year lifespan, and every breeding season, she will raise the fish roe in her belly with a fine Chinese resources, and her own essence will be lost and she will die." As he spoke, he swiped the belly of the fish with chopsticks, and dozens of soybean-sized fish roe slipped out with the soup, overflowing with the fragrance.

"This is the Ice Crystal Horse Chestnut Lotus, a specialty of the bitter cold land of the Far North. Tianyi looked at the seven-leaf lotus, and it was indeed only seven leaves. At this time, the two horse chestnut lotuses, one tall and one short, were frozen on the plate, which made people think that they were just decorations. Tianyi stretched out his chopsticks and clamped a leaf, his hand was slightly forced, only to hear the sound of "click", the lotus leaf was broken, and the entrance was cold, slightly bitter and sweet.

"This is the Yin Yang Lotus Seed, the lotus seed is outside the vulva and the inside is yang, and the meat of the fifth-level demon beast Geng Niu is wrapped inside" The fat man ate one, the entrance was cold, and after biting it, it was like an explosion, the hot soup was boiling, and the fat man's expression was extremely exaggerated, shouting delicious.

"That soup is the fin of the East China Sea Demon Shark, and this is the sashimi made of the Arctic lobster, which is a first-class demon beast with a docile personality. ”

As soon as Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, he heard a brass bell-like shout, "That lobster is still alive." After speaking, he stretched out his hands and picked up the lobster's body with only a head and a bunch of pliers, glared at Ouyang Xiu, and muttered, "It's cruel." Bandaging the lobster under the horrified gaze of everyone, even Lei Lin temporarily stopped eating like a storm and stopped to look at her.

Ouyang Xiu smiled awkwardly, "The remaining two dishes have a lot of origins." Ouyang Xiu said that there was a meal here, Tianyi secretly thought that every dish here had a good background, Ouyang Xiu said that it must not be simple, and he couldn't help but be interested.

"This dish is the spinal cord of an eighth-level demon beast, the Golden Phoenix Bird, which is named after its appearance similar to that of the Divine Bird Phoenix. ”

"It's terrible, it's terrible, the eighth-level demon beasts are equivalent to the cultivation of the late stage of Jindan, it's really a waste to eat it, this is the phoenix marrow, and that won't be the dragon's liver." The fat man interjected.

"Brother Jin Yin really has insight, this is the liver of a ninth-level dragon demon beast. As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, and it was rumored that the tenth-level Jiaolong Demon Beast could be reborn and transformed into a dragon, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the ninth-level Jiaolong Liver was a dragon's liver. However, although this thing is rare, no one dares to put down chopsticks.

The fat man even looked at Ouyang Xiu secretly, "Senior Brother Ouyang, although I am rich and fat, although I am benevolent and righteous, I don't want to do anything that hurts heaven and reason, senior brother may as well say it directly." When the fat man said this, it was really embarrassing, and they also thought about it in their hearts, everyone has never been masked, why do people get such a table of banquets as soon as they come up, such a thing of dragon liver and phoenix marrow, even if the head of the old man eats a meal, he has to cry out for pain.

Ouyang Xiu smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, there is indeed a matter below, today's head of the sect asked the inner and outer disciples to form a team to cultivate the Five Elements Creation Array, and Senior Sister Yan Xin and I hope to practice with everyone." ”

The fat man didn't believe it, and he didn't believe it because of this, and although he didn't believe it, some people did.

"So that's it, the five of you are just right, I'm all Jindan, so I won't participate. After saying that, he continued to eat like a whirlwind.

Tianyi was also busy playing a round game, "If it's just like this, it's naturally easy to say, and the fat man and I are also annoyed about how to gather five people and practice the Five Elements Creation Array." ”

"Me too, me too. A brass bell-like voice sounded, and Lan Xinyao also said.

As soon as the fat man saw that his senior sister Yao said this, even the thief ship had to be on board, so he also accepted his fate.

"Since there was no objection from everyone, we drank this glass of wine, and we were a team from then on. Yan Xin, who had been silent, picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said generously. Several people stood up one after another, their glasses slamming into the air, and each drank it all. A sense of pride and trust gradually spread.

"So spicy"!

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Everyone let down their guard against each other, and the sky was a little drunk between the cups and cups, and Lei Lin was already a little unconscious. Tianyi looked at the messy dishes and bowls on the table, and couldn't help but think of the time when he used to eat at Cauliflower's house. At that time, although each dish was extremely simple and light, the plate was full of cauliflower. Tianyi couldn't help but take a big sip of wine and shook his head, hoping to shake off these sad pasts. I really don't want to, the more this happens, the more uncontrollable the thoughts in my heart will become. Tianyi didn't want to disturb the atmosphere of everyone's drinking, so he secretly took a pot of wine and came outside the courtyard in the name of Xiao Jie.

The humidity of the night hit Tianyi's face, making him more sober. Looking at the direction of his hometown, I secretly wondered if Cauliflower would have woken up at this time, fried tofu and bamboo shoots and waited for her to go back to eat, and whether the necklace I gave him was still on her neck.

Footsteps sounded behind him, and Tianyi sorted out his emotions and turned around. found that the person who came was Yan Xin, and at this moment Yan Xin changed into a red evening dress, which was beautiful and moving.

"How to be alone here. Yan Xin's voice is very beautiful, and there is a hint of dignity that only mature women have.

"Some drunk, come out and blow the wind. Tianyi replied.

"Your eyes are red!" Yan Xin quipped.

Tianyi was a little embarrassed, faintly feeling that his secret seemed to be seen through, and he was a little weak. "It's nothing, it's just a reminder of the past. ”

Yan Xin faintly looked in the direction that Tianyi had been looking at before, and said slowly, in a dignified voice, "If the girl in the distance knew that you were sad every day, I am afraid she would not be happy." ”

This sentence speaks to the heart of Tianyi. The gloom accumulated in the past few months dissipated as if washed by the water of a mountain stream, and a feeling of longing wanted to come out of his eyes. Tianyi slowly turned around, hiding it, tears rolling in his eyes. The voice sobbed a little under the careful listening, and he interrupted, "Senior sister came out, I don't know what happened?" Yan Xin is an inner disciple, and it is not an exaggeration to call her senior sister.

"I'm going to go back to my room to get some, if my brother is fine, why don't you go with me." ”

"Good" Tianyi readily agreed.

Most of the inner disciples' rooms are three-storey, and the first floor is usually the refining room, and the same is true here for Yan Xin. Tianyi had only been to the residences of the three inner disciples, and found that only Ouyang Xiu's first floor was not with this layout, so he asked Yan Xin curiously.

Yan Xin chuckled, "Then Senior Brother Ouyang, you see that he is usually gloomy, but he is not good at talking, in fact, he is a vassal and elegant person, originally his refining room was also on the first floor, but he has been moved out of the courtyard in the first few days." ”

Ouyang Xiu still has this hobby, Tianyi really didn't see it. The two of them entered the refining room on the first floor, and Tianyi found that Yan Xin's refining room was extremely clean, the items were placed in an orderly manner, and the fragrance of orchids wafted in the room. Yan Xin took Tianyi to the corner of the refining room, pointed to the ground, and exhaled like an orchid, "The wine is right down here." ”

Tianyi couldn't help but feel numb and crispy when he listened, and the dark Dao Yanxin was actually not as cold as it looked on the day of the entrance exam, and it was very easy to get along with. Tianyi lifted the planks on the ground, and a cellar appeared in front of him. Tianyi went down the ladder and found that this cellar was a hundred and ten zhang wide, and there were countless wine jars of all kinds. Yan Xin didn't come down, pointed to a few jars of wine on the ground, and Tianyi threw them one after another. After that, Tianyi also went up the ladder.

Yan Xin pointed to the two jars of wine on the ground and said, "I see that you are also a wine lover, these two jars are given to you, if you don't drink them, come to me to get them." ”

Tianyi thanked him, and he was not polite, and took the storage bag and put it up.

The sound of the flute sounded, euphemistic and melodious, and the light of the bright moon shone on the robe.

Tianyi and the two returned to Ouyang Xiu's place. At this moment, Ouyang Xiu was sitting on the edge of the window with Zhu Xiao in his hand. The gentle notes beat gently like elves in the moonlight, suddenly like the waves advancing layer by layer, suddenly like snowflakes flying, suddenly like canyon breezes, and suddenly like the Milky Way flowing quietly in the middle of the night. Lan Xinyao didn't know where to get a ribbon, a bell was tied to each end of the ribbon, and she moved her dance steps on the side, her movements were light, like a dragonfly on the water, and the bell on her body sounded softly like a dream. The fat man held a bouquet of flowers in his hand and looked at Lan Xinyao's light figure blankly. Lei Lin was still lying on the table and falling asleep, his mouth constantly chanting "+―", "*-meat+.0". ,!~”
