Chapter 278: Overnight stay at Lu Xianguan
The sun turned south and west.
The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the Yueyang Tower, and the entire high-rise building is already empty - the tourists are gone. It's not so much about leaving*, it's better to be scared out.
But on the top floor, there are two more, although they are both humanoid, but they are not mortals. One is a god and the other is a ghost, and they have to drink the last scoop of wine before leaving.
"Brother Nian, you see, mortals are mortals in the end. We haven't finished drinking a barrel of wine yet, this persuasion, that said, I'm afraid we will die if we drink too much. If I hadn't thrown the two swords on the table, these people would still disturb our drinking spirit, they said that you would die if you drank alcohol, are you afraid?" Lu Hui looked at the empty barrel and asked Piaoranzi.
"I'm afraid of what? I've been a dead ghost for a long time. Piao Ranzi laughed. "This Lu Xian drunk wine, in the morning is still a little unaccustomed to drinking, the entrance is a little spicy, at noon I feel bland, the more I drink in the afternoon, the more I feel fragrant and refreshing, the aftertaste is long, so that I am reluctant to drink this last scoop. ”
"Brother Nian, I am fortunate to meet today, I didn't expect you to drink so much, not a barrel of drunk. Lu Hui smiled. "Thousands of miles to build a long tent, there is no banquet that will not be dispersed. Let's go, too. ”
"Brother Nian, where are you going?"
"Find a place to stay. Lu replied, put away the two swords on the table, still stuck behind his back, and in the afternoon, he used them to scare off those dissuaded tourists.
"Brother Nian, I see that you are drunk and red, you have to be careful when you go downstairs" Piao Ranzi reminded Lu Hui.
"Brother Nian, I'll just have another bucket, and it'll be fine. Lu replied. "I'm just worried that you'll get drunk. ”
"I'm not drunk," he said. This sentence is the mantra of many drunks, and people who are drunk will say that they are not drunk. However, Piao Ranzi never tells lies.
"Okay, Brother Nian, after drinking this scoop of wine, let's go downstairs" After Lu Hui finished speaking, he drank the last scoop of wine with Piao Ranzi, and the two of them went downstairs.
Out of Yueyang Tower, the sky is full of red clouds, and the evening scenery is pleasant. On Dongting Lake, the water breeze blew, and the two took off their clothes and walked forward.
"Brother Nian, let's find a place to rest. Piaoranzi's wine surged up, and Lu replied.
"There's a lodging in front, I'll take you there. Lu Hui led Piaoranzi, got off the road, turned to the path, turned three times and two times, and came to an abandoned Taoist temple, the plaque said that Lu Xianguan, which should be a temple dedicated to Lu Dongbin.
The two of them were just about to push open the broken temple gate, and not far away, under the big elm tree, an old man came out of a family, and shouted from afar: "Isn't this the immortal chief who bought wine in the morning?
Piao Ranzi followed the sound and looked at it, it was the yellow-faced old man with the morning ale.
"Uncle, is that your door?" Lu Zu asked.
"It's the cold house" The yellow-faced old man walked over and said with a smile: "Two, how about this Yueyang wine? Lu Xian is drunk, even if Lu Dongbin arrives, he has to get drunk."
"Old man, you just brag," Lu Hui shook his head and smiled. "Brother, how is my husband's wine?"
"Didn't say anything," Piaoranzi said, he was telling the truth.
"How about drinking again tomorrow?" Lu replied.
"Still drinking?" Although Piao Ranzi was smoky, he understood in his heart.
"Brother Nian, you don't have to worry, I'll invite you. Lu Hui smiled.
"I'll forget it," Piaoran said.
"Uncle, take the wine again and send it to this Lu Xianguan, and I will pay you for the wine. Lu Zu couldn't help but say that he had set up tomorrow's wine.
After the yellow-faced old man agreed, he went home again.
Lu Hui pushed open the courtyard door, and it was deserted, devastated and overgrown with weeds. The two came to the west room, pushed the door and saw that there were still beds and stools in the room, but thick dust had fallen.
"Brother Nian, you rest here. Lu replied.
"Brother Nian, what about you?"
"I still have to go to the main hall to meditate and practice, and I never lie in bed. Lu replied. "Rest early, this wine is strong, you drink too much, rest well at night." ”
"Thank you, brother, for your concern. Piao Ranzi thanked him, saw that Lu went back to the main hall, and he also entered the door, found the oil lamp and lit it, cleaned the bed, and lay down on the bed with his clothes, and fell asleep in a hazy way.
The oil lamp burned suddenly, and the smell of wine spewed out of his mouth, and he slept soundly these days since he entered the underworld.
A gray-brown tanuki jumped down from the window lattice, gently jumped to the side of Piaoranzi's bed, smelled the wine spurting from Piaoranzi, and showed an intoxicated look on his face.
The tanuki walked gently over to Piaoranzi's head again, and lay down, staring at him with two eyes.
Piaoranzi slept for a few hours, felt plush on his face, and unconsciously opened his hazy and drunken eyes. Hey, a tanuki was lying in front of him, as if he was asleep.
Piaoranzi got up, dizzy for a while, the smell of wine came up, and the five were burning. Oops, it's not good that this wine is really strong, and I felt the house turn around, and I hurriedly closed my eyes, and I was still dizzy. Hurriedly carry the method of qi practice taught by Medicine Buddha, and dissipate the wine in the abdomen.
However, after doing the work, the alcohol in the abdomen was even more intense, and he felt his body as if it was spinning in the air, so he hurriedly pressed his hand on the bed, and calmed down, so that he felt better.
"It's been a long time since I've recited the mantra of the gods and Buddhas in the ancient cave of Lingshan, so it's better to give it a try, maybe you can dissolve the power of the wine. Thinking of this, Piao Ranzi recited some of the mantras he taught,
Om, hum, hum, hum······ The first sentence just memorized the beginning, and down, Piaoranzi couldn't remember
"Ahh
Covered in sweat, Piaoranzi sat up from the bed abruptly and stared at the burning oil lamp. I can't remember the spell, but my head is not dizzy, and the smell of alcohol continues to spew from my nostrils.
The tanuki looked at it with a look of intoxication.
Piaoranzi also smelled her own alcohol, stepped out of bed, and sat down on a dusty chair.
The tanuki, with a slight leap, also jumped onto the chair beside Piaoranzi.
"Hehe, you cat, don't dislike my wine to smoke you. Piao Ranzi is no longer dizzy, and his mood is better, and he laughs when he sees the tanuki chasing him.
"Meow" the tanuki barked at Piaoranzi, jumped on his knees, and looked at Piaoranzi with two green cat's eyes.
"This cat is not afraid of people. Piao Ranzi smiled and blew at the tanuki, "I used this wine to smoke you away." ”
Unexpectedly, the cat, instead of leaving, continued to look at him, looking happy, tilting its head, as if waiting for Piaoranzi to blow at him.
"Poof" Piaoranzi blew at him again, and the tanuki barked and crawled up Piaoranzi's lap again.
"Tanuki, do you like to ask about the smell of wine?" said Piaoranzi with a smile.
The tanuki barked, as if to say yes. When Piaoranzi saw it, he spat a few breaths at the tanuki, frolicked with it, and felt tired again, so he put the tanuki aside.
It was already early summer, Piaoranzi felt a little stuffy, opened the window, blew out the oil lamp, and then lay on the bed with his clothes, looking at the stars in the night sky, and wanted to go back to sleep.
But I couldn't sleep.
Piao Ranzi had a lot of thoughts, thinking of his childhood, thinking of going to Elysium, thinking of being destroyed in the Tibetan Scripture Palace, thinking of escaping from Leiyin Temple, thinking of landing in Shucheng, thinking of meeting Zhang Tianshi, acting as a city god, thinking all the way down, hey, now he has arrived at Yueyang Tower.
The sea of people is fluttering, where is your own destination?
I don't know how long, Piao Ranzi became numb with thoughts, and with the stars blinking outside the window, he gradually fell asleep...... V
