Chapter 796: Meet Song Zhong Again
Halfway City, Lou Yi came here again, only this time he came by water, and last time he came by land, but although he came once, the charm of Midway City still shocked him in his heart, and he even wondered if Xianlou would one day become what it is now.
Entering Midway City through the harbor can be regarded as making up for the regret of the last time he came, and the scenery of Midway City's water city is no less than those land city areas with three floors inside and three floors outside.
There are a dazzling array of buildings and ships, which are docked near the harbor, turning into floating restaurants and inns, and the monks who like Haicheng naturally gather here, tasting the delicious food from the sea abyss, and boasting of their 'great achievements'.
Laughter, scolding, and shouting were endless, Shen Wansan pouted his teeth, looked around with disdain, and said to Lou Yi, "Are you with me?"
Shen Tong definitely wanted to go with him, Lou Yi thought for a while and said, "I'll go shopping first, and I'll see you in the world later!"
"Well, then that's it, let's go first!" Shen Wansan waved at him, and left without looking back, obviously this trip to Zhongzhou, he should also have some tasks of his own, and I think it was also arranged by Shen Caishen, wanting him to get in touch with the business of Huitong World in advance.
Lou Yi took a deep breath, the salty smell of the sea breeze, mixed with the aroma of fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish cooked in the restaurant, and then mixed with the aroma of wine spread in the restaurant, suddenly made him feel home.
Stepping on the unique floating covered bridge of Haicheng, savoring the scenery here, he unconsciously came to a small shop with dim light, but for some reason, the moment he came here, his throat suddenly stirred.
His footsteps stopped, and he looked back at the humble little shop, the dilapidated slabs, covered with traces of time, and the simple wooden doors were hidden, and the smell that made him stop came from these two false doors.
This is a very special taste, which seems to be light and tasteless at first, but this smell can make people feel a faint nostalgia, and then slowly ferment in the nasal cavity, turning into a special aroma.
With a strong curiosity, Lou Yi walked towards the small shop, but stopped when he was about to enter the small shop, he raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Forbidden......?"
Lou Yi looked at his toes, less than half an inch in front of his toes, there was a faintly floating line, along his toes, extending to both sides.
Lou Yi looked up and looked around, holding his chin in his hand and fell into thought, he did not rush into this store, time passed little by little, Lou Yi never moved a step, passers-by looked at him suspiciously, but at the moment when they saw his dignity, they all hurried a few steps away.
After a while, Lou Yi raised his head, glanced around, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked forward, but in an instant he disappeared in place, the store was still in place, and he was no longer in place.
When he reacted, the person had appeared on the top of the mountain, there was nothing around, a lonely mountain, standing in the dark, Lou Yi glanced at his feet, behind was a path, extending into the darkness, and in front of him was a cliff.
Sighing, he stepped forward, not the way down the mountain, but the leap down the abyss......
Real to the point of frightening, Lou Yi felt the cliff wind whistling in his ears, felt the uncontrolled fall of his body, and the feeling of loneliness and helplessness enveloped his whole body.
This fear gave him goosebumps, and the feeling of powerlessness that he could only wait for death was deeply reflected in his mind.
However, the expected death did not come, after he fell to a certain distance, he returned to the door of the small shop under the shroud of a certain light, and he was still only one step away from being able to enter the small shop, maybe people who had experienced life and death would give up making wool again, but Lou Yi walked forward again.
With a shudder, Lou Yi disappeared again, this restaurant is very mysterious in Midway City, and the location is different every time, and most importantly, it will pick people.
Some people try their best to see it, but they don't have the opportunity to see it in their lifetime, and some people are inexplicably favored by it, but they are never allowed to enter, and whether they have seen it or not, they will eventually keep silent.
Lou Yi was the one it chose this time, and apparently it also set up a problem for Lou B to enter the tavern, and after a flash of light, Lou Yi suddenly found himself directly above the abyss.
At such a close distance, he felt the incomparable impact of the ruins, the fear that penetrated deep into his heart, the deafening roar, the looming wail, and the impact of the huge water flowed, which no longer destroyed his mind all the time.
Lou Yi took a deep breath, but at this moment, his mood slowly calmed down, he was in such a noisy and dangerous environment, he meditated, the roar in his ears slowly lowered, the wailing stopped abruptly, and the impact of the water turned into a turbulent stream.
The surroundings began to fall silent, and when everything was completely dusted, he opened his eyes again, and this time he found himself in the tavern, where many people were sitting, all drinking from their bowls.
No one paid any attention to him, no one came forward to greet him, an empty simple wooden table, a four-legged short-legged wooden stool, on which lay a bowl of light blue liquid, and it was from it that the smell that made him stop moving.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the tavern, and he immediately said, "Brother Song is actually there, it's really fate!"
It turned out that among these drinkers, Lou Yi actually found Song Zhong sitting in the corner, holding a wine bowl alone, drinking the light blue wine, but Song Zhong didn't seem to give him any response, which made Lou Yi puzzled.
And he also found a detail, that is, Song Zhong did not take the cloud pattern scar that he cherished as his life, he never left the knife, but now the knife is not by his side, Lou Yi looked at the tavern again, and immediately understood.
He shook his head with a smile and muttered to himself, "Phantom Array, it's so dangerous......
If ordinary people really see entering the tavern, they will generally relax their vigilance, then they are likely to fail, the ancients tested a person, and most of them would have three problems to test, and Lou Yi only completed two just now, and came here.
Then the scene in front of him was the third test, and at the same time as he figured this out, the illusion in front of him disappeared, and Lou Yi flickered in front of him, and found that he was still standing in front of the small shop, but the feeling of being shrouded in prohibition disappeared.
He stepped forward and gently pushed open the hidden wooden door, and the person disappeared into the shop, and then the small shop also disappeared strangely, but no one felt that there was a problem with the pedestrians, as if the tavern no longer existed, and how many people would care about the disappearance of Lou Yi......
The previous scene appeared in front of his eyes, but the store was less of those drinking customers, empty shop, a few simple wooden tables, a few four-legged stools, an old wooden tent, less lively atmosphere, but more indescribable silence.
An old man was looking at him with a smile, Lou Yi strolled forward, clasped his fists and said, "Junior Lou Yi, I've seen my senior!"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Hey, I'm just an old man waiting for death, how can I say from my predecessors!"
"You're humble, and from the perspective of the younger generation, you don't want to say it's so unbearable. Lou Yi truthfully said his feelings.
"Hahahaha, you're a junior who is also interesting, let's find a place to sit down and try the [Drunk and Forgotten Three Lives] in my small shop. The old man said with a smile.
Lou Yi bowed his hand again and again, and then sat down where Song Zhong was sitting in the illusion, and after a while, the old man came to him with a bowl of light blue wine, and said meaningfully, "Taste it carefully, taste it slowly, and I wish you good luck." ”
"Drunk and forgetful of three lives, will you really get drunk......" Lou Yi looked at the bowl of light blue wine in front of him, muttering to himself, he thought of the departure of Gongsun Nishang, that time he drank too much wine, and it was also the first time he was drunk in the real sense, but because of this, he combined with Hua Rumei, and had the later Hua Lianlou.
And after that, he never got drunk again, maybe because his senior brother's high wine-making skills were really good, so that he always had good wine in his throat, so that he forgot what drunkenness was, and now the old man's words made him realize that maybe this wine could really make him drunk.
But in a strange environment, getting drunk is a very dangerous thing, Lou Yi looked at the empty surroundings, and the old man who had returned to the wooden account, reached out and picked up the bowl of drunken forgetfulness, and slowly brought it to his mouth.
At this time, the old man spoke again, "Taste it carefully, and taste it slowly!"
The sound came into his ears clearly, and he was about to drink it all, but he took a shallow sip, and a fishy smell instantly hit his taste buds, and the taste made him almost unbearable.
This liquor is even more incredible than the eight bitters of life, and the taste is constantly changing in the mouth, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, like the hundred flavors of life, and it suddenly pours into his sense of taste.
Lou Yi's body trembled violently, and for a moment he noticed two lines of hot tears left on his cheeks, and he asked himself, "Am I crying?"
An indescribable emotion was subtly affecting him, and this feeling came and went quickly, which may also have something to do with the fact that he only took a sip, and he brought the wine to his mouth again, this time with a full sip.
The bitter taste strongly impacted his taste buds, but it brought him an incomparable shock, and a wave of qi hit his sea of knowledge fiercely, but the old man shook his head and sighed, "Young man, you can't bear it. ”
