"Today is a good day, good for drinking." The woman sitting opposite her had a light voice and said to the Taoist, "What kind of wine does the Taoist want to drink?" ”

"What's so good?"

"As soon as the winter solstice season comes, the officials take a break, and the city is lively." The woman smiled slightly, smiling reservedly and restrained, and her voice was still steady, "Second, from now on, there will be no Wanjiang in Changjing that Fuqin sells wine, only a free fox demon between heaven and earth, imitating the Taoist, looking for heaven and earth, and encountering nature." ”

"My master is preparing to die in two days, and it just so happened that the Taoist chief came to visit today, and I happened to tell them that I was inviting the Taoist to discuss the aftermath." The maid smiled, "Ingenious. ”

"That's right." The woman nodded.

"What's more, today's Taoist chief came to visit and brought good dishes, which is the practice of friends in the world, and we are naturally happy." The maid grinned, "My old friend brought the food, and we should prepare the wine." ”

"In that case, I wonder what kind of wine there is?" There is no wave in the hearts of Taoists.

"Hexian Lou is famous for its gin wine, the world's best wine, there is the best Huadiao rice wine to drink the warmest in winter, there is the best rice wine produced in Angzhou, I heard that Wu'an Hou is the most favorite, there are grape wine from the Western Regions, red as agate, there are peach blossom brews, apricot blossom spring, green plum wine, fairy drunk, everything, let the Taoist choose." The maid said.

"If the Taoist chief doesn't like to drink, it's okay to drink tea." The woman said.

"It's from Yizhou Lingquan, it's a small place, there is no good wine, and many people can't afford to drink it. However, the farmhouse has its own moromi grains, in addition to cooking, if a guest comes to drink, they use a wooden spoon to press out the soup base from the mash barrel to make wine, used to entertain, there is no smell of alcohol, and the drink is slightly sweet. The Taoist said to them, "This kind of farmhouse rice wine, does Hexian Lou have it?" ”

"Yes!"

Miss Wanjiang smiled slightly.

"You need to add more sugar."

"Good!"

As soon as the woman waved her hand, the maid got up, walked downstairs.

The Taoist looked up at her back, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him.

This kind of ability to become a human and a part of his body is also manifested as a human Song You also saw it in the ancient books of Guanzhong, and he thought it was interesting at the time, so he wrote it down-

This kind of ability is also rare among youkai, and it is mostly seen in fox demons, which is usually a means used by youkai to help themselves confuse the world, rather than cultivating an out-of-body incarnation. The book also says that the other part of the manifestation of this method is not only completely connected with the ontology, but also uses a brain, and the incarnation is like a marionette, which is controlled by the ontology.

It's just that this fox's behavior is really strange, and the style of acting between the body and the tail is too different, so that Song You can't be sure for a while, and he has been puzzled for a long time.

I don't know if there is a mistake in the book, the ancestor does not have a comprehensive understanding of this demon clan skill, or this fox does not use this skill, but really trains his tail into an incarnation outside the body.

Or is it to entertain yourself?

In that case......

"Why does the Taoist look at me like this?" The woman in front of her asked softly.

"It's rude."

"The Taoist chief is not a worldly person, and Wanjiang is not even a person, if he is an old friend, he doesn't have to be so polite." The woman said.

"Then why are you still so obsessed with human etiquette?" Song You looked at her and said.

"Heh......"

Although the woman did not cover her face with her hands when she smiled, she also bowed her head slightly, and her posture was still elegant: "Wan Jiang has been showing people with this face for a long time, and he is used to it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to change it in a short time." ”

"I see."

At this time, the maid also came up, carrying a tray with a purple clay pot and a small bowl.

He was followed by two servants, carrying trays.

The maid approached, put down the tray, put the purple clay pot and the small bowl on the table one by one, opened the lid, and there was a jar full of rice wine, and the rice grains could be seen in the turbidity, and she used a wooden spoon to hold the wine.

The servant also came over and laid down the fruit.

A plate of pomegranates, all peeled.

One plate was a large yellow ball of earth, which from a distance I thought was a chicken wrapped in mud, but with a gentle tap from the servant, it was empty, filled with grapes, as if fresh.

There is also a small pottery stove, which is used to boil tea and warm wine, and at this time it is just time to put the casserole brought by the Taoist on it.

"It's all the things that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city have sent with their hearts, the pomegranates in the south, and the grapes from the Western Regions, which are ripe this autumn and wrapped in mud, can keep them fresh for half a year." The maid explained to the Taoist and the cat while holding the wine, and couldn't help but shake her head, "How can a fox like to eat these?" ”

Miss Wanjiang listened and did not speak.

Sanhua Niangniang turned her head to stare at the two servants.

The servant quickly departed with the tray.

Sanhua Niangniang's head was also turned back by the Taoist.

"It's two guest mothers!"

"Frog ......"

"Frog!"

The little girl looked regretful.

Frogs are also delicious.

It's a pity that it has become a fine.

"Please."

Miss Wanjiang smiled at the Taoist and said, "Taste the rice wine that is different from the farmer's impression of the Taoist. ”

"You're welcome."

The Taoist raised his glass and took a sip.

The taste is very similar, but when it is in the Taoist temple, it is brewed by itself, and when it is not sweet enough, it is honey added to it. The crane immortal tower is made of white sand sugar that the top nobles in Changjing can afford, which is as fine as yellow sand and the color is lighter and brighter than brown sugar, and if you taste it carefully, there is also a subtle brown sugar taste.

After tasting it, the Taoist thought about it, and also filled a little bit of it to the girl next to him, telling her that this was mash soup, not wine, so it didn't taste like water, because it was sweetened because of the addition of sugar.

It's not good to fool her too much.

At this time, the maid beside Miss Wanjiang had already torn off a wing from the braised chicken, and regardless of her image, she sat at the table, and gnawed it as if no one was around.

After taking a bite, his eyes widened.

"It smells so good!"

After gnawing it in a few bites, he didn't spit out any bones, and he didn't wipe the oil on his hands after gnawing it, and asked the Taoist for the first time:

"I don't know what this is?"

"My own practice is called halogenation."

"I didn't think the Taoist had this ability! Don't hide it from the chief, since the slave maid came to Changjing with her master, she has eaten grass and fruits all day long, and she has never eaten such a delicacy! ”

The little girl next to her looked up at them.

At this time, the idea of the fox's tail was very much to her liking, and it was indeed impossible to eat grass and fruit.

"The mountains are idle, and many Taoists have to try their best to kill time, but other Taoists study tea art swordsmanship and music theory, and they will tinker with these in the future." The Taoist replied casually, drinking and looking at the Wanjiang girl who was sitting directly opposite.

I saw the woman twisting the cup in her hand and drinking in small sips, and the glow-in-the-dark cup with red lips and jade noodles was so beautiful that it was incredibly beautiful.

Will the fox choose an image or a carnivorous?

Or is it really as recorded in the book, the fox and the tail have the same thoughts, enjoy each other's senses, and usually behave very differently, but they are just neurotic, and when the tail eats it, it is equivalent to her eating?

As if sensing his gaze, as if sensing the thoughts of the Taoist, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, then turned her head and looked at the maid.

"Hey......

The maid immediately took out a dagger from her body, which instantly attracted the attention of Sanhua Niangniang, and then under the stunned gaze of Sanhua Niangniang, she cut a small piece of meat and respectfully handed it to the master.

Sanhua Niangniang relaxed a little.

The woman took it and took a bite.

Then he whispered to the Taoist:

"It's delicious."

"It's over."

Song You retracted his gaze and continued to drink the rice-scented wine like sugar water, and said to her at the same time: "I came here to ask my subordinates about Yuezhou." ”

Miss Wanjiang sat still.

The maid beside her also looked sideways at her, as if she wanted to hear what her master would say.

I saw the girl of Wanjiang twisting her cup to drink, put down the wine glass, and said: "Yuezhou was a place where monsters and elves frequently appeared before ancient times, but in the past few thousand years, the world has changed faster than imagined. It only took a short time for man to establish a huge and unified kingdom, and then he quickly developed from ignorance to ritual poetry, and quickly occupied the world and became the darling of this world and the way of heaven. Many places that were originally forbidden places on earth were quickly occupied, and the monsters and elves had to retreat. Dao Chang was born in this era of sound etiquette, and it is impossible to imagine such earth-shaking changes. ”

The woman said as she looked at the Taoist.

The Taoist was very calm: "History is always so magnificent, maybe there will be more earth-shaking changes in the future." ”

"What will the world be like then?"

"Who knows?"

“……”

The woman shook her head and smiled, and continued: "The later Yuezhou is different from the original, but it still has the oldest demon clan inheritance in the world, which has continued to this day. It's just that we no longer dominate that land, and we basically live in seclusion in the mountains, live our own lives, and occasionally blend in with the world, and don't dare to make trouble. This is the only way to go. Whoever goes wrong, maybe he will be prominent for a short time, just like the white bull king, but since he goes wrong, he is destined to perish. ”

"Like a fox?"

"Yes." The woman bowed her head slightly, giving people a very low attitude, "Our Yuezhou fox, like the Xuzhou swallow, is the only fox demon in the world with inheritance, and the difference between the rest of the fox demons and the Yuezhou fox is the same as the difference between the ordinary swallow Chengjing and the Anqing swallow." Our ancestors were remarkable, even in the powerful antiquity, and they left behind a great legacy. ”

The maid next to her continued to nibble on the chicken.

Only the three flower girls robbed her.

The mutton soup in the casserole was also slowly hot, she unceremoniously picked up the spoon, took her and the little girl's bowl, and filled it with a large bowl, the two figures, one large and one small, glanced at each other, and began to gobble up as if they were competing.

The Taoist had a conversation with the woman drinking.

"It's just that later the Heavenly Dao changed, and many of the immortal Terran monks turned into loess, and many immortal paths were also impassable, and the demons were ranked behind the people, but they were only ranked behind. Nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult to live forever. The woman said, "Therefore, our Yuezhou fox is gradually declining, and other demon clans in Yuezhou have to find their own way out." ”

"What are the big demons?"

The Taoist priest sniffed while glancing at his cat, and saw that the little girl had finished drinking the rice wine in the bowl, stood up and opened the lid of the clay pot, and drank wine from it, and couldn't help but remind:

"Sanhua Niangniang, drink in moderation."

"It's not wine! It's labor! ”

"It's got to be in moderation, too."

"Got it, got it......"

Sanhua Niangniang scooped a full bowl while responding.

"My clan is descended from the ancient Nine-Tails, and it is considered a branch. There is a willow demon in the north of Yuezhou, it is an ancient tree that is thousands of years old, and it is also a branch, I heard that the willow tree in ancient times has lived until now, and I don't know how many years. The White Bull King was originally also a branch, but he actually took the evil path, although it was only one of the bull demons who walked the evil road, but in this way, he would definitely be exterminated by the Heavenly Palace. The fox demon said, "Before ancient times, the south of Yuezhou was Daze, and now it has turned into a field, and the white cow was originally the white rhino that lived there. In addition to them, there is also a group of dragons, who call themselves dragons or Zelong, but there are only a few left, and more than ten years ago the northern chaos also ran out of Yuezhou to find another way out. The Taoist walks the world, and if he is fateful, he may be able to meet them. ”

"Are you here to find a 'way out'?"

"Sort of."

"What do you call it?"

"It's to find a way out, but also to avoid war, so as not to be infected with evil qi and blood, or if you are not infected, you will be affected by other demons and be suppressed by the Heavenly Palace." Miss Wanjiang couldn't help but shake her head helplessly at the Taoist, "Now is not the time when demons and humans are fighting together, and the Taoist chief doesn't know how miserable our demons are in this year." ”

"Toast to the next one."

"Respect what?"

"Just pay homage to the winter solstice."

"Good! To the winter solstice! ”

The woman twisted the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

That's when she was a little arrogant.

The heroism of living alone at home and holding up a pot of wine shows a little bit of it.

Then he continued to elaborate.
