Chapter 25 Jiuzhuang Collection
In the worm chamber of the cave.
The pests caught by Ding Xing are buzzing and chirping, forming a dense circle of insects, flying aimlessly in mid-air.
These pests are similar in physique, different in color, there are more than 20 kinds of flowers and green, all of them are common insects that are accustomed to harming garden fruits, poisonous scoops, powder moths, beetle scorpions, flying ants, and are also the key representatives of Ding Xing specially used to taste wine.
The area of the insect chamber is several zhang square, but the overall number of pests is tens of thousands, like a huge artificial insect nest, they are generally muddy insects and beasts, but there are also a number of psychic insect demons mixed in it.
Since Ding Xing recruited Yu Tai that day, the two began to work together to repel insects the next day, and half of these insect demons were captured by Yu Tai.
With Yu Tai as a good helper, it really greatly improved the efficiency of Ding Xing's wine refining.
Ding Xing tried one by one according to the four wine tasting recipes provided in the 'Zhongkang Insect Formula', first using green jade loquat and white lychee, and the formed spirit wine did not have medicinal effects.
He continued his efforts and used blood cherries mixed with white lychees and sent them to the cellar in orange leaves.
Wait for this batch of spirit wine to come out.
According to the practice of the last time, Ding Xing sent the wine jar into the insect room to verify the strength of the wine.
He was ready to fail again in his heart, after all, this spirit wine was refined according to Xie Zhongkang's recipe, then Xie Zhongkang spent a lot of hard work, studying the new insect recipe all day long, but in the end it was fruitless, he was most likely on the wrong path.
However, when Ding Xing opened the wine jar, as the wine spread out, Ding Xing had already realized that Xie Zhongkang's path was not wrong, he was just one step away from success.
"Huh, this insect room is impermeable, why is it raining all of a sudden?"
As soon as Ding Xing put the wine jar into the insect room, he suddenly felt a burst of needle-like droplets of water dripping on his body, like rain.
At first, he thought it was the venom sprayed by demon insects, after all, it was three points of poison for insects, and it was common for them to release poison.
However, after careful inspection, he found that the water droplets falling on his body were all transparent and not doped with toxins, and he gradually understood the bottom of the water droplets.
He stretched out his arm, grabbed a handful of insect beasts in the insect ring, looked at it, and said in surprise: "It's really strange, these insects are all crying, does the spirit wine I brewed this time have the effect of tear-jerking?"
It's more than tear jerker.
Ding Xing had just finished this exclamation, only to hear a 'bang', tens of thousands of insect swarms fell from the air in unison, and then did not move after being planted on the ground.
The hundreds of demon insects persisted for a little longer, but they did not escape the attack of the alcohol, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down, probably because they were too sad, and finally fainted from crying, and fell to the ground.
Ding Xing looked at the insects all over the ground, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.
He was shocked by the terrifying lethality of the smell of alcohol, and in less than half an hour, he wiped out all the swarms.
The insect incense also has the power of large-scale insecticide, but the spiritual incense has to burn for a long time before the demon insects can be slowly choked to death.
Moreover, the Worm Incense is a one-time consumable, and when lit, it will turn into a pile of useless dry ashes.
But what about wine?
The spirit wine refined by Ding Xing relies on the wine gas to kill insects, and the speed of evaporation of the wine is extremely slow, and only one jar of wine needs to be placed in the garden, and it can be done once and for all, so that the insect swarm does not dare to cross the thunder pond for half a step.
"That's too good, isn't it?"
Ding Xing felt unimaginable, he suddenly squatted down, picked up a few demon insects that had fallen to the ground, and found that they were not dead, but were only stunned by the smell of alcohol.
As a refiner who creates wine, you must not only see the ultimate power of spirit wine, but also find out the defects and test the weakness of spirit wine.
Ding Xing lifted the wine jar, sealed the lid, and put it in his sleeve.
Then he opened the door of the insect chamber and unleashed a 'wind and frost spell' at the door, sweeping away all the alcohol in the room.
After a while, a scene that surprised Ding Xing appeared.
Tens of thousands of insect swarms swayed and trembled, and one by one they all woke up, and their wings flapped and began to fly around the room again.
Ding Xing shook his cuffs without saying a word, and put the wine jar back indoors, and as soon as the wine suddenly spread, these poor insects began to cry bitterly again, and fainted after crying.
After more than ten repeated trials, Ding Xing was able to find out all the characteristics of the spirit wine.
Although this new wine can only stun the insect swarm, but cannot kill it, in terms of practicality, it has surpassed the insect aroma.
The insects are in the palm of their hands and can be used repeatedly, and these two points alone can arouse the pursuit of Sonoda monks.
"With this wine!"
Ding Xing was full of pride for a while: "All insects must retreat!"
Therefore, the tear-jerking characteristics of wine are extremely obvious, and Ding Xing was named the wine name of 'insect tears'.
Next, Ding Xing is about to start brewing in large quantities.
He has been tasting wine for the past month, and the oranges in the orangery are ripe.
Every time he harvested a batch, he would exchange it for a batch of 'worm tears' in the bazaar.
By the time we entered August, he had secretly brewed two vats full of 'worm tears'.
But at this time, locusts appeared in individual orchards of Château de la Château, a harbinger of a catastrophe.
On this day, Yu Tai said to Ding Xing worriedly: "As soon as the locust demon comes out, the locust plague will not be far away! As soon as the locust plague comes, even if the predecessors of the Xuanfetus stage in the village personally take action, they may not be able to stop it!"
Ding Xing has not experienced the horror of the locust plague, and he is not worried: "June has entered the harvest period, and our orange fruits are ripe and fast, and we have picked six or seven percent of them so far, even if there is a locust plague, there will not be many orange fruits!"
Yu Tai shook his head vigorously: "Xiao Ding, you don't know, the locust demons not only eat the fruits, they will also devour the branches and leaves, and directly destroy the orange trees! Even if they report to the Shangzong and send disciples to exterminate the locusts, it is impossible to keep all the orchards, and there will always be a group of villagers who have gone bankrupt in the locust plagues over the years!"
He suggested Ding Xing: "We have collected a lot of orange fruits in the past few months, you hurry up and go to the 'Jiuzhuang Collection', sell all the orange fruits, and replace them with 'Insect Fragrance', I hope it's still too late!"
Ding Xing originally planned to go to the 'Jiuzhuang Collection' and try to sell the 'Worm Tears', this new wine must not be circulated in the winery, and Ding Xing cannot use it for his own use, the only channel that can hide people's ears is the 'Jiuzhuang Collection', for this matter, Ding Xing has been thinking about it for more than a month.
Over the years, the Qiongtai faction has continued to expand the number of immortal villages, and the scale of the market has actually reached the point of 100 villages, but the 'Jiuzhuang market' has not been renamed.
The 'Jiuzhuang Fair' is also held once a month, and each time it can attract thousands of Xianzhuang monks, and even the disciples of several immortal sects in Weiguo will visit secretly.
Ding Xing also knew that there was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this bazaar, and he had to prevent being forcibly robbed, so he had already thought of a way to exaggerate the defects when selling wine, and sell 'Worm Tears' as an ordinary insecticidal spirit wine, so that the price would not be high, but there would be no trouble.
Anyway, this is new wine, and the disciples of the Immortal Sect can't see the truth and the false.
It's just that Ding Xing couldn't find an excuse to go to 'Jiuzhuang Ji' for a long time, and today he heard Yu Tai mention the locust plague and urged him to go to Jiuzhuang Ji, and he can finally set off.
