Chapter 4: The Embarrassed Qianji
"Ask the seniors to give me wine. Like the young man with thick eyebrows, Zhou Qi also bowed respectfully to the old man first.
"The smell of wine is nine paragraphs. ”
The old man glanced at Zhou Qi, and broke his cultivation in one word, and the young man in green shirt on the side immediately stepped forward to pour wine, but this time he poured a lot more war wine than the young man with thick eyebrows, and there was more than half a bowl.
Zhou Qi's face was unusually solemn, he picked up the wine bowl and slowly brought it to his mouth.
Everyone stared with bated breath.
I saw Zhou Qi pause slightly, and then began to drink it in a big gulp, which was very different from the "tasting" of the young man with thick eyebrows.
The audience was silent, except for the sound of "cooing".
Soon, half a bowl of wine had been drunk by Zhou Qi.
At this time, Zhou Qi suddenly stopped.
Everyone is not surprised by this, this should be the drunkenness that Zhou Qi has already drunk the ninth stage of the wine qi can normally withstand, and if he drinks it any further, it will be more than resisting.
At this time, Zhou Qi exhaled and slowly continued to take a sip of wine.
His face immediately flushed, and he stumbled slightly, but he immediately stood firm.
Obviously, as soon as the excessive drunkenness is in the mouth, the attack immediately begins.
Seeing this scene, everyone became more and more nervous.
After a pause and another breath, Zhou Qi began to drink the second sip of wine, but this sip of wine became more and more slow, almost "sipping wine".
"As long as I can drink this sip, there is only one sip left. The young man who was with Zhou Qi muttered nervously, his fists already clenched.
Qian Ji's eyes were staring at Zhou Qi tightly, but his expression was a little strange, as if he hoped that Zhou Qi would fall down quickly, and seemed to hope that Zhou Qi could continue to drink.
Zhou Qi failed to continue drinking.
He slowly "sipped" the second half of the wine, suddenly put down the wine bowl, and shook his head gently, as if he wanted to sober up his drunken head, and seemed to feel very sorry, and hugged his fists and said to the old man: "The younger generation is not physically strong, so it's better to stop." ”
The old man glanced at Zhou Qi approvingly, but there was a hint of disappointment in his expression, and he nodded lightly.
Zhou Qi turned around and walked off the high platform, and at this time, he could see that his feet were already a little unstable.
A sigh rang out as the crowd neutralized.
Zhou Qi also failed. ”
In this way, only Qian Ji is the most promising. ”
"Qian Ji is already here, and the white-shirted young man over there is. Looking at his expression, he seems to be very sure. ”
Qian Ji was indeed very sure, especially when he saw that Zhou Qi had only one sip of half-war wine left and had not yet fallen. He thought to himself that his physique was much higher than Zhou Qi, since Zhou Qi could get to this point, it should be no problem for him to drink the whole bowl of war wine, even if he was drunk, he could still do it without falling down.
So seeing Zhou Qi give up and walk down, Qian Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, the look of hesitation on his face flashed.
"Brother Zhou, it's a pity. Qian Ji stepped forward, pretending to be sorry, and sighed.
"I've done my best. Zhou Qi smiled bitterly, "If I barely finish the rest of the wine, I will fall to the ground and make a fool of myself on the spot." Brother Qian, it's up to you. ”
Qian Ji smiled slightly: "I'll give it a try." ”
After speaking, he took off his long shirt and walked steadily up the steps and towards the high platform.
Everyone immediately noticed that Qian Ji had finally appeared, and unlike the previous situation, instead of quieting down, the crowd was buzzing.
And it's no wonder. Chanji is hailed as the first of the rising generation in six nearby towns, and after the best of the other rising generations have been defeated, he is the finale. If he can't do it again, then there is no possibility for the others.
After Qian Ji stood on the high platform, the wine bowl on the long table was quickly poured with war wine.
This time, there was much more war wine in the wine bowl than Zhou Qi's, and it was almost full to the edge of the wine bowl.
A look of arrogance flashed on Qian Ji's face, and he calmly picked up the wine bowl and drank it in a big gulp.
"Brother Zhou, do you think Qian Ji can pass the test?" The young man beside Zhou Qi frowned and asked softly when he saw Qian Ji holding it up like this.
After Qian Ji came to power, Zhou Qi took out a small piece of cyan leaves and took it, this cyan leaf seemed to have a miraculous effect on dissolving drunkenness, but in a moment, the red on Zhou Qi's face had slowly faded and become normal, and he said calmly when he heard this: "Qian Ji has an extraordinary physique, it should be possible." But we'll see in a moment, so let's take a look. ”
After a while, the wine bowl in Qian Ji's hand was already getting higher and higher, and I saw Qian Ji pause slightly, and then the speed did not decrease, and he continued to drink in a big gulp.
Obviously, Qian Ji has drunk to the limit of the drunkenness that he can withstand for a period of time in the drunkard realm, and the next step is to test his physique.
"He is so confident?" Zhou Qi saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart.
The buzz in the audience intensified.
"It seems that Qian Ji is nine out of ten stable in passing the test. ”
"I said a long time ago that Qian Ji would definitely succeed in the exam, and sure enough. ”
"It's amazing! He deserves to be the first person of the next generation. "Someone has given a thumbs up.
Lin Niu's face was pale, and he secretly pulled Xiao Yun on the side: "Xiao Yun, don't look at it, let's go quickly." After a while, when Qian Ji finishes drinking, he will definitely come to find it."
"Don't worry. ”
Xiao Yun looked at the high platform, his right index finger drew a circle leisurely, there was no panicked look on his face, but there seemed to be a sneer: "It's not too late for him to finish drinking." ”
At this moment, the wine bowl was raised violently, and Qian Ji drank the entire bowl of war wine.
I saw that his feet were slightly unstable, and his body was a little swaying, but he did not fall to the ground drunk.
The audience cheered immediately.
Putting the wine bowl on the long table, Qian Ji steadied his swaying steps, although he did not fall to the ground at this time, his face was red as if he had been pumped, and his eyes were already a little straight under the erosion of drunkenness.
He hugged his fist at the old man who was still indifferent and said, "Senior, I"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stumbled under his feet, and then "plopped" and fell to the ground heavily.
Everyone in the audience saw it in their eyes, as if they were choked by the neck, and the cheers stopped abruptly.
"He's still falling short. Zhou Qi and the young man on the side glanced at each other.
Both of them had a little regret on their faces, but more than that, there was a sarcastic sneer.
Qian Ji has always had no one in his eyes, and since he came, he has always been contemptuous of Zhou Qi and the two, and at this time he fell to the ground drunk, of course Zhou Qi and the two of them would not be saddened by his shortcomings, but both had a sense of relief and ridicule.
On the high platform at this time, it seemed that he was extremely unwilling, and Qian Ji struggled to get back up.
"Ahh
I saw Qian Ji holding his hands on the ground, and finally arched his body, but his feet slipped, his body deviated, and he rolled down the steps violently.
The steps weren't long, but after three or four rolls, Qian Ji had already rolled to the ground under the high platform.
His white shirt was stained with dust and wine, and his hair was spread out, like a beaten wild dog, lying motionless on the ground.
"Brother Qian!" Zhou Qi and the young man exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward.
The two wanted to help Qian Ji up, but Qian Ji was like a puddle of mud at this time, and in desperation, the two had to drag him back.
There was a dead silence.
Everyone knows that Qian Ji's exam is a complete failure. And among all the people who took the exam on stage, he was the most embarrassed person after drinking war wine.
"Is there anyone else on stage to take the exam?" On the high platform, the young man in green shirt took a step forward and asked the crowd loudly at the signal of the old man.
Everyone looked at each other.
Even Qian Ji, who was born with the strongest physique, ended up like this, who else dared to come to power?
After a long time, there was still silence in the crowd.
"That's it. Seeing this scene, the old man on the high platform sighed lightly, "In this small town, where is there the person I want to find? It seems that I am thinking too much." ”
The old man whispered a few words to himself almost inaudibly, his face was full of disappointment and loneliness, and he turned his head and gestured slightly to the young man in the green shirt.
The young man in the green shirt immediately walked to the long case and wanted to put away the wine bowl and the long case.
It seems that this is the end of this apprenticeship.
"Wait. At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, "I'll give it a try." ”
Everyone's eyes turned to the place where the voice came.
I saw a thin young man in a coarse cloth shirt striding out of the crowd.
It was Xiao Yun.
Everyone looked at Xiao Yun and was dumbfounded.
Such an unknown country boy also wants to participate in the apprenticeship of the master?
Many people reacted, and their eyes were full of ridicule when they were neutral.
Zhou Qi and the young man were also looking at Xiao Yun. The young man laughed and said jokingly: "It's really that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and even this kind of country boy who is not even a drinker dares to come on stage?"
When he saw Xiao Yun, Zhou Qi immediately recognized Xiao Yun, thinking of the scene when Qian Ji and this young man looked at each other viciously, and couldn't help but secretly think: "Could it be that this young man really has something to do with Qian Ji? Seeing that Qian Ji did not pass the test, he wanted to go on stage to try his luck so that he could overpower Qian Ji?"
Thinking like this, Zhou Qi felt a sudden breakthrough in his heart, shook his head and chuckled: "He may have another purpose." But he's not a drinker, and he doesn't understand how drunk he is. I'm still young and ignorant. ”
"A hillbilly is also whimsical, and look at how he makes a fool of himself!"
At this time, many people in the crowd quickly discovered that Xiao Yun was just an ordinary person, not even a drinker, and the ridicule became louder.
"This descendant, war wine is different from ordinary wine, you can kill you after a sip, you better go back quickly. There were also nearby well-wishers who reminded Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun turned a deaf ear to the hustle and bustle of everyone, and just quietly looked at the high platform.
The old man on the high platform was also looking at Xiao Yun at this time, of course he could see at a glance that Xiao Yun was not a drinker, so he frowned at the moment and did not make a sound.
However, I don't know if it was out of the glimmer of hope in my heart, or out of praise for Xiao Yun for daring to take the exam as an ordinary person, after a while, the old man still nodded and said indifferently: "Okay, you can go on stage and give it a try." ”
When the young man in green shirt heard this, he put back the wine bowl he had just picked up, and stood on the side of the long case, Mu Ran looked at Xiao Yun who had climbed the high platform step by step.
