On the outskirts of the capital, I hate the mountain.

People hate water and grow east, but this life is too hurried.

When Shenzong traveled to this mountain in his later years, he felt that life was like a dream bubble, fleeting, and he inevitably still had many resentments.

Since then, Shenzong has lived in seclusion in the capital and has never stepped out of that palace for half a step.

"The common people call this place an ominous place, and the Daqian royal family is also quite taboo, and rarely set foot in ......"

At the foot of the mountain, Li Mo couldn't help but sigh, with only Wang Jiu and the Red Lotus Boy by his side.

Wang Jiu's cultivation is the best way to sense the changes of vitality, and as for the Red Lotus Boy, he also has the ability to regenerate, which is the same as the [Blood River Demon Fetus], and it is also helpful for searching for the latter.

Therefore, Li Mo took them with him.

As for Ji Shi, he escaped from the battle and did not follow.

At the beginning, he fled the capital to avoid his father of the king of Zhennan, for fear of being used as a victim and marrying the royal family.

Now, when the king of Zhennan enters Beijing, he is even more afraid to avoid it, if it were not for Li Mo's trust, he would not have touched this brow if he was killed, and took the initiative to find the trace of that Ji Baye.

"Master, I heard that eighteen years ago, the fire in the capital was burned from here?"

Wang Jiu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the verdant and verdant mountains of Changhate, full of vitality, the mountains and rivers were hidden, quite peaceful, but it was a treasure land of cultivating the mind.

It is no wonder that the capital is 800 miles in radius, with 300 famous mountains of all sizes.

It's just that it has an ominous name, and very few monks practice here.

After all, even the Divine Sect once held a grudge against this place, who had such a hard life that could suppress the ominousness here!?

Even if you practice here, I am afraid that it will be a lot of calamities, and it will be difficult for you to improve your supernatural powers.

"That's what I heard...... The fire burned strangely, and Changhe Mountain almost became a scorched mountain, but within a few years, it was rejuvenated, and the creation of heaven and earth was really powerful. Li Mo whispered.

"What a treasure." Wang Jiu looked around, his eyes glowing with a different kind of brilliance.

There are good and bad people, and evil spirits in the earth.

But in all the bad lands, not a single inch of grass grows, and no vitality is cut off, and no nutrients can be locked.

However, the spiritual land is different, full of vitality, even if it is calamitized, it can also be quickly renewed, this kind of place can nourish birds, insects and beasts, people in this place, will also have a clear mind, physical strength, and even the reproduction of offspring will also have good luck.

As the old saying goes, a good man is a good person.

"It would be so comfortable if this place made me a dojo......"

The more Wang Jiu looked at it, the more greedy he became, his cultivation was [Longevity Wuji Gong], and he was the most jealous of being robbed in his life and losing his longevity.

Besides, what is ominous, but the name is not good.

Long hatred and long hatred, listening to it will be unlucky, if one day, Wang Jiu can practice in this mountain, he has to change its name.

"There's a ...... up ahead"

At this moment, the Red Lotus Boy reminded him.

Li Mo looked up, there was a large vineyard not far away, although it was a cold winter, the heating in the mountains was flourishing, the yang was abundant, under the sun, the grapes were full and bright, rich and dripping, and they were extremely sweet and juicy when they looked at it.

"Sure enough, it's a treasure land, and there are grapes in the winter." Wang Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

Li Mo walked over, and saw a man picking grapes, he was in his fifties, his temples were white, but his body was extremely tough, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, barefoot, and there was a crystal bottle on the small table next to him, which contained a royal red liquid, and the rich aroma of wine mixed with the fruity aroma of grapes, bursts of attack.

"What a good wine."

Li Mo couldn't help but sigh that before Shenzong, wine was still a rare thing, and it was often the most authentic and mellow in the western soil.

At that time, Daqian most often drank sweet wine or shochu.

Among them, sweet sake is also divided into sake and turbid sake.

The turbid wine is turbid, because there is no filtration, you can often see the rice residue mixed with foam floating in the wine, like ants and insects, so this kind of wine is also called "green ants", and the ancient saying has "green ants make new wine, red clay small stove".

This kind of wine is simple in process and has a very low degree, which is equivalent to the beer in Li Mo's previous life, and someone needs to wait for the wine to be sifted next to it when drinking.

Therefore, many ancient books say that heroes and heroes drink eighteen bowls of wine without pouring, and even more courageous, but they can go into the mountains to capture tigers, which is said to be this kind of wine.

As for soju, it is closer to baijiu, which is strong and spicy.

During the reign of Shinshu, he improved the process of winemaking and introduced wine to Kyoto, which became the new favorite of wealthy families for a while.

Just such a pot of wine, I am afraid that it will be sold for a hundred taels of silver, which is worth a family of three for two or three years.

Therefore, even now, wine is still the taste of the upper aristocracy.

"Just take a look, young man, don't spoil my wine."

At this moment, the middle-aged man with bare feet and coarse cloth spoke.

"Uncle, what kind of grapes do you use for this wine?"

"This pot of wine is one hundred taels of silver, and I will earn ninety-five taels, and you ask me what grapes to use?"

The barefoot middle-aged man slowly turned around, took out two clay pots from under the table, and poured the clear liquid into the empty crystal bottle.

"Drink the rest of the cold white open yesterday and mix it with some wine dew......"

"Wine dew?" Li Mo was stunned.

The so-called "wine dew", that is, alcohol, is recorded in the [Yuanben Miscellaneous Records] of the previous dynasty, and the strong wine and the tank are put into the retort, and the steaming is made on the gas, and the drip dew is taken with a vessel...... Its clear water, the taste is very strong, and the wine is also dewed.

Later, Shenzong improved this distillation method, and obtained the "liquor dew" that is now very similar to alcohol.

"You're not wine at all, it's not the right color...... Red Lotus Boy said coldly.

"That's right......" The middle-aged uncle nodded, and took out a wooden box from under the table, but when it was opened, it was a small red powder.

"It's a toner extracted from grape skins." The middle-aged uncle poured the grinding into the crystal bottle and shook it gently, and the wine inside immediately turned into a vivid ruby red.

"No aroma of wine ......"

The middle-aged uncle sniffed it, took out a bamboo tube from under the table, and after opening it, an unknown liquid was poured directly into the crystal bottle.

Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine hits the face.

"It's grape flavor...... But good things ......" The middle-aged uncle shook the crystal bottle, so that the treasures that condensed the crystals of supreme wisdom inside were fully integrated.

"How expensive it is to use rotten grapes......"

The middle-aged uncle put the crystal bottle in front of him and sniffed it gently, revealing a look of intoxication.

Li Mo was stunned, and there was not even half a cup of tea before and after the whole process, and a bottle of precious wine worth hundreds of taels was made.

"This bottle is also expensive, it has to be sold for three hundred taels." The middle-aged uncle put down the crystal bottle and looked at Li Mo: "By the way, it is recommended that the body should be checked regularly...... Young man, would you like a bottle? ”

"......"

Li Mo's expression became more and more strange.

Even Wang Jiu and the Red Lotus Boy couldn't help but glance at each other, seeing the astonishment and surprise in each other's eyes.

As demons, they have also seen a lot of humans, but it is the first time they have seen such a strange profiteer, and it is really eye-opening.

"Uncle, you wine...... So what are you using these grapes for? Li Mo couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I kept it for myself."

The middle-aged uncle picked a grape casually, put it in his mouth, and when he bit it, he could even hear the sound of juice splashing.

"Profiteers." The Red Lotus Boy said in a deep voice.

"This is a conscience deal, not a pit for the poor."

The middle-aged uncle said casually: "Those dignitaries don't know how much to replenish every day...... I heard that the Qingning Mansion uses a century-old ginseng soup to rinse its mouth every morning...... The body is so resistant, it is the most suitable wine to drink. ”

While speaking, the middle-aged uncle looked at Li Mo with a smile.

"Young man, do you want to have some...... The amount is preferred, buy 100,000 catties, you can get a seven-fold discount......"

"100,000 catties!?" Li Mo's eyes widened.

He only thought that the uncle in front of him was just a small workshop that produced and sold himself, but one mouth was 100,000 catties...... How many sins must be done.

"Thank you...... Thanks, I don't need to ......," Li Mo said with a dry smile.

"I don't want wine, there are other goods."

The middle-aged uncle rubbed a bright and full grape in his hand and looked at Li Mo with a smile.

"How about turtle jelly and lotus root powder?"

"I ...... on a horse"

Wang Jiu has the best temperament, and he couldn't help but sink his face at this moment, and the red lotus boy's forehead was even more exposed, and he couldn't wait to burn this vineyard with fire.

"Uncle, you do all kinds of business." Li Mo's eyes were slightly condensed, as if he had a deep meaning.

"There's no way, the family has a big business, there is no money, and they all have to starve to death." The middle-aged uncle spread his hands and said casually.

"Then don't bother."

Li Mo glanced at Wang Jiu and the Red Lotus Boy to leave.

"Master, this profiteer ......"

"This man is not simple." Li Mo shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Although Changhe Mountain is an ominous place, it is also a treasure land, and it must be very human to be able to have a vineyard here.

Li Mo heard that there are many properties of wealthy royal families in the capital in this place, and even many princes have a lot of land here.

This middle-aged uncle who looks like a profiteer is a guest or steward of a nobleman.

"Master, he won't be the king of Zhennan." Wang Jiu asked.

"Did you get grape juice in your brain?" Li Mo glanced at him.

The dignified king of Zhennan, the overlord of Xinjiang, the prince of one side, since the time of Shenzong, this vein has enjoyed the honor of the prosperous era, holding heavy troops, Yongzhen southeast, the plotter is the big in the country, how can it be this kind of profiteer who plots small profits and cheats and abducts!?

"Master, what does the King of Zhennan look like?"

"I don't know." Li Mo shook his head: "I only know that his surname is Ji, and he is the eighth ......."

"The old people in the capital who know him well all call him Ji Ba......"

Li Mo said casually, and disappeared on the long mountain road with Wang Jiu and the Red Lotus Boy.

"You deserve your surname Li ......"

In front of the vineyard, the middle-aged uncle looked at the figure of Li Mo and the others in the distance, his face trembled slightly, he took a sip and spilled the wine in the cup.

……

Hate the mountains for a long time, and forget the village.

This Zhuangzi is the private property of the King of Zhennan, and even the Ji Shi does not know that he has a Zhuangzi in the Changhe Mountain.

In previous years, the king of Zhennan would stay here when he entered Beijing.

"The royal family is the most taboo here, and the king of Zhennan has a Zhuangzi here." Li Mo's expression was strange, but there was an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

"Son, please go back, the prince is not a guest today."

After a long time, an old steward came out of the Zhuangzi and returned the token left by Master Ji to Li Mo.

"Old man, this ...... This is a token of the prince......" Li Mo was stunned, he never thought that he would eat a closed door.

"The prince said, if you don't mention him, you forgot that there is a rebel."

“……”

"The prince also said that if that rebel is still alive, he should hurry back, if it is gone, it will be too late for him to have another one now."

“……”

As soon as the words fell, the old steward didn't wait for Li Mo to respond, and turned around and entered Zhuangzi.

"Is this horse biological?" Li Mo glared, looking at the jade jue in his hand, revealing a strange look.

He walked around the gate of Zhuangzi for a long time, but there was still no movement, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, obviously Ji Shi didn't come, and this king of Zhennan didn't plan to show up.

Chirping......

At that moment, there was a sound of the door opening.

Li Mo looked up and saw a young man walking out of the village, hunting in a long robe, wearing a white jacket, looking not very old, but his gestures had his own nobility.

The most important thing is that this person's appearance is somewhat familiar.

"Juniors say goodbye."

The young man saluted the door, full of pride, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Li Mo.

Suddenly, the man's footsteps stopped suddenly, and there was a bright color in his eyes, and he actually looked Li Molai up and down.

"Li Mo!?" The man whispered softly, and actually reported Li Mo's name in one mouth.

"You know me?"

"Brother Li is an upstart in Hongmen, a guest of the prince of Zhennan, and his reputation is famous, how can he not know the truth?" The man chuckled.

"You are?"

"Wang Yulou."

"The East China Sea King's Clan!?"

Li Mo's eyes were slightly downcast, and he finally knew why the young man in front of him was so familiar.

The Donghai Wang family is a thousand-year-old family that moves the world.

Wang Mingzhou, Wang Jianshan, who died in Wanjie Mountain not long ago, and Wang Yulou in front of him are the biological brothers of one and three children, and even the six gods who died in the hands of the big bird are the guests of the Wang family.

These three people were invited by the seventeenth prince to enter Beijing to assist, who would have thought that two would die as soon as they arrived in the capital.

Li Mo didn't expect to meet the last of the three brothers here.

"It turned out to be Brother Wang."

Li Mo said lightly, as if he had long forgotten that the two brothers of the Wang family died in his hands.

"Brother Li is a close friend of the prince, how can he come to visit and eat behind closed doors?"

Wang Yulou chuckled.

The Donghai Wang clan and the Zhennan Wangfu are inextricably linked.

Back then, when Ji Shi was young, he killed a disciple of the other party's descendants because of a mistake, and was almost beaten to death by the king of Zhennan, and finally lived in isolation and came to the capital.

Obviously, this disciple of the Wang family had just visited the king of Zhennan, and at this moment, seeing that Li Mo had eaten a closed door, he could not live forever.

"Shizi is really right." Li Mo said suddenly.

"What's a good point?" Wang Yulou was stunned.

"He said that the king of Zhennan has always had a habit of cleanliness, and when he sees something disgusting, he will vomit for a while, so naturally he has no time to see me again."

"What a sharp tooth."

When Wang Universe heard this, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he just sneered, but he did not have a seizure, which shows his strong psychological quality.

"Brother Li, there are many ghosts in the mountains, it's dark, it's better to leave early."

As he spoke, Wang Yulou glanced at Li Mo deeply, and then walked away and passed past Li Mo.

"This man has a murderous move." The Red Lotus Boy frowned slightly and reminded.

"Their Wang family and Lao Ji already have a grudge, and his two elder brothers also died in my hands...... If there is no killing opportunity, he is a saint. ”

Li Mo looked at Wang Yulou's back as he drifted away, and his eyes were as quiet as water.

He had heard Ji Shi say that the three brothers of the Wang family, Wang Yulou was the youngest, but he had the highest talent, he had adventures when he was very young, and he was young, but he was already a master of the Mai Miao Realm.

"Survive tonight, and we'll talk about tomorrow."

Li Mo took a deep look at Zhuangzi, who was closed at the door, if he ate closed door soup every day, he could only tie up Master Ji.

Dead Dao friends are not dead poor Dao, in order to see the king of Zhennan, but also for the whereabouts of the [Blood River Demon Fetus], Li Mo can only let their father and son recognize each other.

……

In the evening, the lonely moon hangs high.

In the mountains of long hatred, in an ancient cave.

The bonfire dispelled the darkness in this corner, and a little warmth filled the cave.

"Can you feel that?"

Li Mo looked at the Red Lotus Boy, his regeneration ability was derived from the study of the [Blood River Demon Fetus], and he might be able to sense it.

"There's something uncomfortable hiding in the mountain, but I can't be sure where he is." The Red Lotus Boy said in a deep voice.

In fact, ever since he stepped into the Mountain, he had felt intense uneasiness, even nausea.

"Sure enough, it fell into the hands of King Zhennan." Li Mo's face was slightly gloomy.

"Or ...... Shall we explore at night? ”

"I can help you find the Blood River Demon Fetus."

At this moment, a clear voice came from a distance, Li Mo looked up at the entrance of the cave, and under the moonlight, a shadow came, and it was the chirping of summer cicadas.

"Is that you?"

Li Mo's face changed slightly, he really didn't expect this woman to appear in front of him so quickly.

Call......

At this moment, the Red Lotus Boy stood up suddenly, his eyes blazing with anger and deep hostility.

"Calm down...... I'm here to help you. ”

Xia Chanming walked into the cave, took a deep look at Li Mo, and sat down defenselessly.

Such a move made Li Mo feel the difference.

"Playing with me?" Li Mohu said suspiciously.

"Do you know why that cub of the East China Sea King family is here?" Xia Chanming did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Wang Yulou? Could it be that it is also for the blood river demon fetus? ”

"That's right." Xia Chanming nodded: "When that little cub was young, the Wang family once made a deal with Guixu. ”

"The East China Sea Wang Clan made a deal with Guixu?" Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Shenzong once said that the enemy is within the people, and this is true.

"You are a Hongmen person, you should know that this world is not black and white, since it exists, there is soil suitable for its existence......"

Xia Chanming said lightly: "The Wang family rescued a felony from the Zhennan Palace, and exchanged it for a drop of blood with Guiru. ”

"A drop of blood!?"

"That's right, that's a drop of spiritual blood left by the black sword...... Xia Chan said in a condensed voice.

Black Sword once infiltrated the ruins as a spy in the Xuantian Pavilion, and became the lord of the [Demon City], and his drop of spiritual blood was precious, and was once transformed by the ruins......

"Transformation? Could it be ......" Li Mo thought thoughtfully.

"That's right, it's the method of [Blood River Demon Fetus]...... Flesh and blood regeneration, ever-changing......"

As he spoke, Xia Chanming couldn't help but look at the Red Lotus Boy: "This is a failure, but the Black Sword Spirit Blood has more powerful power......

"The Wang family integrated that drop of spiritual blood into Wang Yulou's body, and this created his terrifying talent."

"The cub of the Wang family wants to obtain the [Blood River Demon Fetus] and make the spiritual blood in his body go further?" Li Mo said in a deep voice.

"Yes, flesh and blood regeneration, ever-changing, this is the ability that only the Xuantian Dao Seed has...... Wang Yulou's spirit is very great. ”

Xia Chanming looked straight at Li Mo: "I can help you find the Blood River Demon Fetus...... It's in the mountains of long hatred. ”

"Can you help me? Why are you helping me? Li Mo said vigilantly.

He didn't forget that just two days ago, he had a big fight with this woman, almost killing him.

Besides, Li Mo belongs to the Xuantian Pavilion, but Xia Chanming was born in the ruins, and strictly speaking, the two are each other's mortal enemies.

Standing in their respective positions, Xia Chanming can be so kind to help him find the Blood River Demon Fetus!?

"The situation is stronger than the people...... I didn't choose ......"

Xia Chanming sighed, a look of helplessness on her tired face.

"What do you mean?"

"I was also forced by others to take refuge in you as a last resort." A subtle look of fear flashed in the depths of Xia Cicada's eyes.

"Forced? Who is it? Li Mo frowned and said strangely.

He said...... He's your father! Xia Chanming stared at Li Mo with a strange expression.

"What's that!?" Li Mo was stunned.
