[You sword volley, rush to the 'Gyeonggi Daegangsan' located in the west of Kyoto......]

【……】

【Flying over the mountains, you have finally arrived at your destination. 】

[This place is not far from Kyoto, and there is a particularly majestic mountain surrounded by mountains. 】

['Gyeonggi Daejeon' towers into the clouds, and the sea of clouds flowing in the sky is only halfway up the mountain. 】

[There is a small village at the foot of the mountain, and you can vaguely see people. 】

[You landed on the ground and took out the 'Demon Seeking Compass Ritual at the foot of the mountain'. 】

[The compass hand keeps spinning and does not stop for a long time.] 】

[Perhaps it is the majestic mountains and rivers of the 'Gyeonggi Great River', and the search range of the 'Demon Searching Compass Ritual 'can only include a small part of the mountains.] 】

[Or maybe there are no powerful monsters with a strong bloodline near 'Gyeonggi Daegangsan', so the 'Demon Seeking Compass Ritual can't be pointed to.] 】

[Do you want to climb the mountain and continue to search directly, or do you want to go to the village on the side to inquire about the situation first?] 】

Lin Xun thought about it and chose the latter.

[You are walking close to the small village at the foot of the mountain......]

[The scale of the village is very small, it is estimated that there are only more than 100 households, and you can see the whole picture of the village at a glance. 】

[In the center of the village, there are several farmers selling melons and fruits, and what is surprising is that there are seven or eight sake houses of all sizes here. 】

[You can understand the reason after a little inquiry......]

[As the saying goes, 'grain is the flesh of wine, and water is the blood of wine', there is an excellent mountain spring water on the 'Gyeonggi Daegangshan', the spring water is clear and sweet, smooth and refreshing. 】

[Choose this water source to make wine, the wine pulp is clear and transparent, sweet and delicious when drinking, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. 】

[Therefore, although the village is small, there are seven or eight sake houses of all sizes, and from time to time there will be Kyoto nobles who come here to buy fine wine. 】

[You found a wine house at random, and came forward to inquire about the legend and deeds of the 'handsome boy who bought wine'. 】

[The owner of the wine house is a middle-aged woman who still has a charm, and when she hears you inquire about this, her eyes light up, and she tells you endlessly, leaving aside the guests who come to buy wine. 】

[More than ten years ago, there was only one sake brewery in the village called 'Tsukada Sake House', and the owner of the sake brewery was a family of sake brewers who had been brewing for generations, and the sake brewing technique was extremely exquisite, and the brewed 'Tsukada Daiginjo' was famous throughout Sakuraku. 】

[At that time, there was an endless stream of people entering the village, not only from Kyoto, but also from as far away as Ukioka Castle, all of whom were famous for coming here to buy sake. 】

[The people in the village saw that the sake house business was thriving, and they also followed its example to open a sake house and make their own wine, but with 'Tsukada Daiginjo' Zhuyu in front, how could guests from afar buy inferior farm wine? 】

[Therefore, the rest of the sake houses closed down not long after they opened, and only 'Tsukada Sake House' remained. 】

[The owner of the sake house also made a lot of money because of this, and I heard that he also bought a few houses in Kyoto...... If there are no accidents, 'Tsukada Daiginjo' will be passed down forever. 】

[One day, a young boy went into the village alone and came to the 'Tsukada Sake House' to buy sake. 】

[The village is not large, there are more than 100 families in total, and the owner of the wine house sees the boy's face, so he thinks that he is an outsider. 】

[When the boy entered, he threw down a small piece of gold and claimed to buy the best 'Tsukada Daiginjo'. 】

[The owner of the wine house saw that the boy's face was very handsome, but his unkempt hair and ragged clothes did not look like the heirs of those noble customers who bought wine, but like the descendants of ronins, and the gold in his hands was not stolen from a rich family. 】

[The owner of the wine house did not want to get into trouble, nor did he want to sell wine to a young child for a year, so he did not accept the gold, but just joked that when he saw the boy's good face and was very close to his family, he gave a bottle of wine for free. 】

[The boy accepted the 'wine' and left happily......]

[It's just that the boy doesn't know that what is encapsulated in the bottle is not fine wine, but sweet and delicious mountain spring water. 】

[On the second day, Tsukada Sake House did not open its doors to welcome customers, and there was no sign saying that it would be closed for one day. 】

[This was the case on the second day, and the third and fourth days, and finally someone sensed that something was wrong and broke open the door of the brewhouse and broke in. 】

[The sake house was empty, except for a small piece of gold on the counter, and a jar of wine neatly displayed on the cabinet was missing. 】

[People searched for a long time before they found the owner of the sake brewery in the many water tanks filled with mountain springs in the backyard. 】

[The thirteen members of the wine house all drowned in the clear mountain spring of the water tank......]

[When the middle-aged woman said this, she patted her chest with palpitations and told you that people say that the handsome boy is not a human being, but the famous 'drunken boy' in the 'remnants of evil demons'. 】

[Because the store used water instead of wine, it caused the anger of the 'wine swallowing boy' to suffer this disaster......]

[When the news reached Kyoto, the general sent elite soldiers to search for the vicinity of 'Gyeonggi Daegangsan' for several days, but finally found no trace of the 'wine-swallowing boy'. 】

[Later, the villagers opened a wine house, and they no longer dared to replace wine with water...... It's just that the villagers have never seen it again, and the handsome boy who doesn't look like a human wine buyer. 】

You spend a thousand spirits to buy a bottle of wine from a woman. 】

[You have obtained 'Daiginjo Sake' (scrap)!] 】

['Daiginjo Sake' (Scrap Sake): A bottle of inferior sake that has not been brewed for a long time, and although the spring water and raw materials are excellent, the sake brewing technique is very poor, and the quality of the sake is unbearable. 】

[You continue to inquire about the rest of the sake houses, and the information you get is much the same, since the 'Tsukada Sake House' tragedy, the villagers have never seen the handsome boy again. 】

【……】

"Could it be that the 'drunken boy' ran away after killing someone?"

Lin Xun frowned.

Although he only has one 'Tooth of Scourge' and can only subdue one top-level monster, no matter which one he subdues, the other youkai can also join the decisive battle with the Great General as a powerful boost.

At present, there is already one less 'big tengu', and Lin Xun doesn't want to lose another 'drunken boy'.

If we can add more weight to the balance of victory, we must do our best and not slack off.

[You continue to inquire with the villagers, and finally get some different information from a farmer who sells rice......]

[The farmer accepted the 1,000 points of spirituality you gave and whispered to you that he had never seen the legendary wine boy like the villagers......]

[However, there was a medicine picker in the mountains, who was very handsome, and the strange thing was that the medicine picker ate an astonishing amount of food, and every six months he had to buy a lot of rice from the mountain. 】

[The amount of rice is enough for a family of eight to eat for three or five years, which is far from being eaten in a short time when medicine pickers enter the mountain. 】

[What's even more strange is that the medicine pickers only buy rice, and don't want other vegetables and fruits, even if the farmers give them away for free......]

[You hurriedly asked the farmer when was the last time you saw a medicine picker. 】

[The farmer remembers for a moment and tells you that the last time I saw the herb picker was a month ago, and the herb picker bought most of the rice from it loaded most of the truckload, and then went into the mountains to collect medicine......]

Lin Xun had already decided that the medicine picker was the 'wine swallowing boy' at this moment!

Do youkai eat rice? Definitely not to eat.

The 'Wine Swallowing Boy' is addicted to alcohol, and the wine-making skills of the villages at the foot of the mountain are extremely poor, and the 'Sesen Sake' produced is all waste grade, how can the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' be satisfied?

The main ingredient for sake brewing is rice, and the 'sake swallowing boy' buys rice into the mountains, and there is excellent mountain spring water in the mountains, and it is self-evident that he makes sake himself!

[You return to the sake brewery and ask the brewery owner about the specific location of the brewing spring in the mountain, and under your money offensive, the brewery owner knows everything and says everything. 】

Soon, you'll know where the spring water is held in the mountains. 】

[You leave the village and hike up the 'Gyeonggi Daegangsan'......]

[You walk along the mountain road and step into the mountain ......]

【……】

[After a long journey, you finally arrived at the brewing spring.] 】

[This place is lush, the flowers are luxuriant, there is a clear spring flowing down from the mountain at the deep stream of the high mountain, and the water is accumulated into a pool. 】

[The spring water in the pond is clear and cold, you bend down and pick up a handful of mountain spring water to drink, the entrance is sweet, clear and pleasant. 】

[This is undoubtedly the best place to get the brewing spring water, you take out the 'Demon Searching Compass Ritual' and search for nearby monsters......]

[The pointer on the compass keeps spinning in circles, and there is still no meaning to stop and point. 】

Lin Xun smiled slightly and clicked on the sake item in the inventory.

It is not a scrap-grade cottage 'Daiginjo sake', but a rare and treasure-grade 'Sesen sake'.

[You take out the 'Sesen sake', pull off the cork cork, and the rich aroma of the sake will immediately waft. 】

[For a time, the aroma of wine was tangy, mellow and lush, and the deep mountains and forests were filled with a rich aroma of wine. 】

[The breeze carries this mellow aroma of wine and sends it to the depths of the mountains and forests......]

[You hold the wine bottle in one hand and the 'Demon Seeking Compass Instrument' in the other, quietly watching the pointer on the compass keep rotating. 】

【……】

Lin Xun saw that the nesting was finished and the bait hung down, so he simply waited here for the rabbit.

After a long wait, the game text changes.

【……】

[The compass needle suddenly shook its head sharply, pointing to the depths of the forest.] 】

[Not long after, a young medicine picker strode over......]

[It wears a hat on its head, its red hair is scattered, and it strides towards you with a medicine hoe and a bamboo basket on its back. 】

[The medicine picker's face was unusually handsome, and as he walked, he kept shrugging his nose and sniffing the rich aroma of wine. 】

[You have discovered the 'Tracing Wine Swallowing Boy'! 】

[The 'wine swallowing boy' dressed as a medicine picker comes to you, staring closely at the rare wine in your hand, and constantly swallowing saliva. 】

[It sincerely asked, I wonder if you are willing to sell the wine in your hand? 】

[As he spoke, the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' took out a piece of gold and signaled that as long as you nodded, the gold would be yours.] 】

[You shook your head slowly, rejecting the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' deal.] 】

[Seeing this, it took out a piece of gold again, which was the size of a fist, and at a glance it knew that it was worth a lot.] 】

['Wine Swallowing Boy' sincerely asks you again, are you willing to sell the wine in your hand? 】

[You still shook your head and refused, and the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' sighed very regretfully, turned around and left......]

[You suddenly opened your mouth to stop the medicine picker, and said loudly that you want this bottle of wine in your hand, without the need for gold or property......]

[As long as the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' goes to Kyoto with you and kills the general! ] 】

[Saying that, you possess the body of the 'Primordial Hermit of Knowledge', revealing the identity of the 'Dragonborn' of the dragon's head and body.] 】

[The herb picker pauses and turns his head to look at you, his eyes full of incredulity. 】

[It looked at you for a long time, and suddenly strode up to you, took the 'Seizumi sake', and drank it all. 】

[The 'Wine Swallowing Boy' smashed the wine bottle, leaned down and bowed, and said heroically, I would like to go to Kyoto with the 'Dragonborn' and take the head of the general! ] 】

[You pick up the 'wine swallowing boy' and tell it all the things about the evil gods......]

【……】

[After a short exchange, you learned that all the clansmen of the 'Wine Swallowing Clan' were sacrificed in the Divine War, and only it was still in its infancy. 】

[It grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and lived with wild beasts all day long, eating flesh and blood...... It wasn't until more than ten years ago that he awakened the inheritance memory of the 'Wine Swallowing Family' and began to understand human nature. 】

[It knows that the dragon god has been defeated, and the outside world is already the world of new god believers, so it doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, and can only incarnate as a human before it can occasionally go down the mountain. 】

[Even so, I accidentally leaked the news, causing the general to send troops to encircle and suppress ......]

[Now that your appearance has revived its hope, the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' is eager to go to Kyoto with you immediately and kill the general.] 】

[You explain to the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' that you have found the 'Nine-Tailed Fox' that is still alive in the world, because the town has limited resources, you can only accept one of the two of them as a Shikishen, and you don't know which is stronger or weaker than the 'Nine-Tailed Fox'? 】

[The 'Wine Swallowing Boy' suddenly came to his senses, and he explained to you without thinking, if the 'Dragonborn Lord' is about the art of charm, the 'Wine Swallowing Clan' can't catch up with the 'Nine-Tailed Fox'......]

[But if it's about the art of attacking, it's not that it's bragging, the 'Wine Swallowing Clan' can beat the 'Nine-Tailed Fox' to the point of crying dad and mother......]

"Is the drunken boy so fierce?"

Lin Xun recalled that in the librarian's 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walking' trial fantasy, the wine swallowing boy appeared in the sky full of red fire lotus, and he looked like a peerless man.

And the 'nine-tailed fox' appeared, and there seemed to be nothing else that could be taken except for being coquettish and cute......

"Huh? Why can the nine-tailed fox become one of the three monsters with such a weak chicken...... It can't be because it's a big chest and a big ass, right? ”

Lin Xun suspected that the 'Nine-Tailed Fox' was also very strong, but he had no evidence.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, so why not confront the two of them face to face?"

"If you really can't do it, you will fight, and whoever is powerful will be accepted as a god."

He opens his inventory and clicks on 'Nine-Tailed Fox's Tail Feathers'.

[You take out a handful of snow-white soft fox tail fur and tell the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' that there are only a limited number of places to serve the 'Dragonborn', and you decide to summon the 'Nine-Tailed Fox' to appear and let the two compete face to face......]

[Unexpectedly, the 'drunken boy' hurriedly stopped your behavior. 】

[Its face is not red and its heart is not beating, the 'Dragonborn' may have misunderstood its meaning, it just said that the 'Wine Swallowing Clan' can easily defeat the 'Nine-Tailed Fox', but it didn't say that it can easily defeat the 'Nine-Tailed Fox'......]

[You must know that it has only awakened and inherited its memory for more than ten years, which is equivalent to a literate child, and compared with the fox girl who has been cultivating for thousands of years, it must have a smaller chance of winning. 】

[But the 'Dragonborn Lord' will definitely not be so short-sighted, as long as it is given another thousand years of cultivation, it will definitely be able to beat the 'Nine-Tailed Fox' to the north ......]

Lin Xun's face was full of black lines.

"Good guy, in order to become a Shikigami, even youkai have started playing word games?"

[You put away the tail feathers of the nine-tailed fox' and stretched out your hand expressionlessly. 】

['Wine Swallowing Boy' sneered, and took out a delicate and small celadon wine glass from the basket behind him. 】

['Wine Swallowing Boy's Celadon Wine Cup' (prop): A delicate and small celadon wine glass, which is a precious wine utensil that the big monster 'Wine Swallowing Boy' does not leave his body. Using this item, you will summon the Great Youkai 'Traceable Wine Swallowing Boy' to fight for you. 】

[You take the celadon wine glass, wave your hand to drive away the 'Wine Swallowing Boy' and let him continue to return to the mountains to practice hard, and when you fight the general, you will summon it to come to help in the battle. 】

[The 'Wine Swallowing Boy' knew that he was at a loss, and returned to the depths of the mountain in frustration......]

[Before leaving, it will give you a pot of wine in the basket like a treasure, claiming that this is the best sake it brewed when it first channeled wisdom, and it has been treasured for more than ten years. 】

[After killing the general, he will have a good conversation with the 'Dragonborn'......]

【You have obtained 'Daiginjo Sake' (Treasure)!] 】

[The figure of the herb picker gradually faded away, and gradually disappeared into the deep forest......]
