Chapter 21 Liu Ling is drunk and relieves thousands of years of sorrow, and the hero is angry and sorrowful
An unknown town, located in Hebei Province to Shanhaiguan must pass through the road, the town is not big, but it is choking the traffic artery, so it is also prosperous, food and accommodation are also readily available. "Three Absolute Doctors" Xue Qing and other people, after days of running, arrived here, the group is hungry and tired, thanks to Xue Qing's superb medical skills and panacea, everyone's injuries are basically good, except for black and white impermanence because the injury is more serious, the recovery is a little slow, but it is also better than seven or eight percent, everyone else is the same as usual, but after several days of continuous running, there is no good running week, meditation and pranayama, so everyone looks very tired and vicissitudes.
"Snow hero, we have been on the road day and night for several days, and it is estimated that the mysterious man in black will not be able to catch up with us for a while, I see that everyone is already very tired, why don't we find a better tavern here, eat him well, and then find an inn to rest for a night, and then set off again tomorrow at dawn?" "Thunderbolt heavy sword" Xiahou Kong asked.
"Now it should be the boundary of the north of Hebei, it is estimated that there will be another day or two, you can reach Shanhaiguan, although we have been rushing for a few days day and night, but we have no horses, although there are also light skills along the way, but I am afraid of encountering strong enemies, save internal force, the time for light work is very short, I am worried, before arriving at Shanhaiguan will be caught up by mysterious people, so, I think we still find a tavern first, everyone has a full meal, and then find an inn, have a good rest for two hours, run a few small Sundays or a big Sunday, and then we set off in the afternoonγ The terrain here is flat, fertile for thousands of miles, there is no place for us to hide, plus this town, it is on the traffic artery, there are many people, I am afraid it is not a place to stay for a long time, out of the Shanhaiguan, to the outside of the pass, the mountains are dense and dense, it is convenient to hide our whereabouts, let's relax and rest. Xiahou laughed, everyone, what do you think of Xue's suggestion?" Xue Qing looked at Xiahou Kong, and then turned to ask everyone.
"Snow Hero, thoughtful, according to Snow Hero's wishes, we have no objections. Everyone said in unison.
"Alright, let's decide, let's go find a tavern first. In addition, madam, I am afraid that there may be mysterious people or other forces in this place, so I ask Madame to release the 'Cloud Piercing Falcon', and intercept it immediately if it is found that a carrier pigeon flies out or flies in. "If the king is not secret, he will lose his ministers, and if he is not secret, he will lose his life." Throughout the ages, how many people have failed to succeed and killed because their actions were not confidential enough. Xue Qing turned to Bing Ji and said.
"Hehe, okay, Brother Xue, don't you just let the 'Cloud Piercing Falcon' catch a carrier pigeon! You see that you have started to write crepe again, and you can still make so many big truths, you are such a nerd!" After so many days, Bing Ji rarely smiled. She smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Haha, Madam is making fun of me again, didn't you just like me as a nerd back then?" haha," Xue Qing also laughed heartily: "Second elder, trouble the two, patrol the surroundings, if there are other forces' eyes and ears, take it down immediately, don't hurt their lives, just stun or put down the acupoints." β
"Yes. The second elder took the order and turned away.
The group walked towards the center of the town. Walked to the largest building, it is a two-entry courtyard, the front is a tavern, the back is an inn, a windward signboard reads "Liu Lingdrunk" and the other signboard reads two words "inn"
Xue Qing was overjoyed when she saw it: "That's it, it seems that the wine in this tavern should be good, 'Liu Ling drunk' is a famous wine in the world, and we are blessed." β
"Hell Swordsman" Li Changyang is very rough and bold, and he is informal, but unfortunately he is not very literate, as long as he has wine, he will drink it, so he doesn't know the famous wine "Liu Ling is drunk", and he has never drunk it. Looking at the excited Xue Qing, she was confused and looked at Xue Qing curiously.
"Haha, Brother Li, I know that you are also a good drinker, don't you know 'Liu Ling is drunk'? It's rare to have such a good wine in this remote town! It's rare! It's been a few days since I've been addicted to alcohol, and I'm going to fight the wine worm today. Xue Qing looked at Li Changyang and said with a smile.
"Snow hero, come on, come on, tell me about this 'Liu Ling drunk', seeing that you are excited like this, it should be good wine, talk about it. β
Li Changyang said impatiently, seeking knowledge is everyone's greatest desire, and it is true.
"'Liu Ling drunk' is the world's famous wine, but also the first wine in Hebei, legend, the Jin Dynasty famous 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest' one of Liu Ling, to visit a friend in Xushui, Hebei, this friend is named Zhang Hua, Zhang Hua to the local famous liquor to entertain Liu Ling, Liu Ling drank and praised, and took advantage of the wine to compose poems. Later, because of this wine, Liu Ling stayed in Hebei and didn't leave, drank it every day, got drunk every day, for three consecutive years, and finally died drunk in Suicheng one day. He was later buried in Xushui. Hence the name 'Liu Ling drunk'. Legend has it that Liu Ling is drunk with high-quality sorghum, barley, wheat, rice, millet, glutinous rice, peas and other seven kinds of grain as raw materials, take the sweet spring of the ancient waterfall river at the foot of Taihang Mountain, take the oldest technique for brewing, and use Zhanghua Village, that is, the location of Liu Ling's tomb to seal the cellar, after fermentation and aging. This wine is rich in aroma, mellow and sweet, and it is the best in the wine! If there is more than 20 years of aging in this small shop today, it will be perfect. We're in for a treat. Ha ha. Xue Qing smiled and introduced to everyone.
At this time, the second elder also rushed back, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and he was fascinated by it.
"Huh?" Which of these people in the rivers and lakes is not a hero? And which one is not good in the cup? Xue Qing said this, everyone's saliva was about to flow out, especially the "black and white impermanence" and "yin and yang double judgment" brothers from the "Yama Palace", there is no shortage of good wine in Sichuan, and it is even more of a hungry ghost in wine. In addition to the good wine of Sichuan, the four of them have not tasted other famous wines, and they are looking forward to it at the moment.
The group slowly walked into the store, Xiao Er was a clever person, and immediately put the two tables together, everyone humbled each other, and finally Xue Qing still couldn't shirk everyone, so she had to sit on the main seat with her wife, and the others sat on both sides. When Xiao Er saw so many people, he thought that it must be a big business, and he was busy with joy and poured tea for everyone.
"Guest officer, what do you need, even if you are under orders, the little one will serve you!" Xiao Er asked with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Er, the signboard of your store is 'Liu Ling Drunk', presumably the store has the world's famous 'Liu Ling Drunk' good wine, I don't know, how many years is your store aged? But authentic?" Xue Qing asked.
"Guest officer, my family's wine is guaranteed to be authentic, my shopkeeper is a person from Zhanghua Village, this small shop has been open for three generations, so the guest officer can rest assured that there is absolutely no problem with the wine, and even the soil for sealing the wine cellar is from Zhanghua Village. We have five, ten, and twenty-five years of ageing here. I don't know which one the guest wants?" Xiao Er patted his chest and said.
"Twenty-five years?" Xue Qing and everyone's eyes lit up, "Okay, hurry, let's have ten jars of twenty-five years of aging first." What's more, come up together!" Xue Qing was overjoyed and said.
"Ten altars, guest officer, twenty-five years of 'Liu Ling drunk' is not cheap, for three taels of silver for one altar, or a few for three altars for twenty-five years, plus a few altars for ten years?" Xiao Er has been in the store for almost ten years, and has never seen 'Liu Ling drunk' for ten altars for twenty-five years, thirty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary farmer to eat for three or four years, Xiao Er said dumbfounded.
Bang, Xue Qing put a gold ingot on the table, about ten taels, "Little Second Brother, are you enough to see this?" Xue Qing looked at Xiao Er with a smile and said.
Xiao Er's eyes were straight, he grew so big, it was the first time he saw ten taels of gold, and he stayed for a while and said busily: "Enough, I don't need so much, even if I serve all the good dishes in the store, I can't use so much." Guest officer, we can't find zero in this small store. β
"If we are happy to eat and drink today, we don't have to look for the rest, how about it?" Xue Qing still looked at Xiao Er with a smile and said.
Xiao Er was dizzy for a while, almost fell down, and almost didn't believe his ears, "Okay, small one, let's arrange it." With that, he turned around happily and went away.
After a while, the "Liu Lingdrunk" of ten altars for twenty years and five years was put on the table, and at the same time, it is estimated that the good dishes of the whole store have also come up, and a table is full.
Bang bang, everyone slapped the mud seal of the wine jar in front of them, opened the cork, and in an instant, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the whole store was filled with a rich aroma of wine. Ten miles of incense may have passed, but half a mile is definitely fine.
Xue Qing and everyone poured their bowls full, Xue Qing raised the bowl and said: "Xue Qing has affected everyone, I feel uneasy, today I will borrow this bowl of 'Liu Ling drunk' to honor all the heroes, thank the heroes for sacrificing their lives to save each other, I remember the five, if you can get out of danger, in the future, you will be driven, I will return with my life, heroes, please raise the bowl, we did it." Xue Qing's words were heroic and heroic. After speaking, he picked up the bowl and drank it all.
Everyone replied: "Snow hero, you're welcome." He also took the bowl and drank it all. As soon as the wine entered its mouth, Xue Qing and everyone suddenly felt that it was incomparably mellow and fragrant. They all secretly admired. Even the black and white impermanence and the double judgment of yin and yang feel that this wine is by no means half a point worse than the wine in Sichuan.
"Good wine, good wine, worthy of the thousand-year-old 'Liu Ling drunk', can not only overflow the royal gold bottle, but also fill the farmer's thick bowl, good wine is good wine, Xue Qing's scholarly temperament at the moment is undoubtedly revealed, a glass of wine in the stomach, heroic and sudden, swept away the decadence of the past few days, poetry flourished.
"The wine enters the throat, relieves a thousand sorrows, and the horse suddenly crosses the north hill. The moon is like a hook, forget the worries, and chase the stream to the South Shore State. Xue Qing has been comfortable for more than ten years, and suddenly suffered a great change, for many days, always thinking of the dead disciples of Renhetang, for a while lost and melancholy, fell into deep self-blame. In order to see his son who has not been seen for thirteen years, he ran around day and night, and almost lost the demeanor of a generation of heroic sect masters, and now a glass of wine is in his throat, and he is full of blood in an instant.
"Come to the cup, Lao Tzu is today, check the remains. He has been thirsty for many years, and his throat is like a scorched kettle, and he is happy to sleep today, and his breath is like thunder. You said that Liu Ling, a master of ancient and modern times, why not bury him when he dies when he is drunk. After the momentum recovered, Xue Qing was out of control, and chanted Xin Qiji's "Qinyuan Spring: Will Stop Drinking".
Everyone watched Xue Qing's poetry flourish, full of pride, and it was like two people a few days ago, and they were infected by it. For a while, he was also full of ambition and momentum, and he couldn't help but applaud.
"Ah!" Xue Qing heard the applause, and suddenly realized that she was a little out of shape, and her face flushed: "I'm sorry, Xue has lost her temper, which makes the heroes laugh." β
"Hey, Brother Xue, you are usually gentle and elegant, but every time you encounter good wine, you will reveal your true form, and immediately become another person, no matter how many books you read and how many words you practice, you still can't become a literati, you are still reckless! Bing Ji smiled, how similar Bing Ji and Xue Qing were, these days, the mood has been heavy, and it is rare to smile. If it weren't for the thought of his son who he hadn't seen for many years, I'm afraid he would have already lost his mind, and I was afraid that he would die in Renhetang with Xueqing.
"Haha, I am a person in the rivers and lakes, like all heroes, I am a hot-blooded man, and I am not uncommon to be a literati talent. There is a saying that 'useless is a scholar', poetry and songs are not my will, and fighting swords and rivers and lakes is what I want. The lonely lamp carries two knives, and I am proud of my drift. This is the true nature of a chivalrous man!" Xue Qing said with a smile.
"Okay! Good sentence, the lonely lamp carries two knives, and I am proud of my wandering. Didn't Snow Man mean me? Hey, we're a bunch of people, but I'm the only one who uses a knife! Haha. "Hell Swordsman," Li Changyang said with a smug face.
"Hey, Lao Li, you're really shameless, Xue Daxia is talking about chivalrous feelings, when did you say you, besides, you clearly mentioned a broken knife, and people Xue Daxia said that he was lifting a double knife, you are really thick-skinned, this can also put gold on your face. Ha ha. "Thunderbolt Heavy Sword," Xiahou Kong said with a smile at Li Changyang.
"Hahahaha," everyone burst into laughter.
"Old Broken Sword, who are you talking about! Xue Daxia clearly means me, I don't believe you ask Xue Daxia, Xue Daxia, you mean me!" Li Changyang deliberately pretended to be confused, and turned his head to ask Xue Qing.
"It must be that you, I want you 'Hell Swordsman' to ignore your own safety and save us, and between life and death, you are the same as all heroes, all of you are chivalrous, righteous and unparalleled heroes!" Xue Qing said solemnly.
"Snow hero, it's ridiculous, almost all of us have received the grace of your life, and the morality is incumbent. "Yin and Yang double judgment" hurriedly said.
"Yes, Snow Hero, if you hadn't come to the rescue back then, I'm afraid that my broken sword and Lao Li's broken knife would have already been buried with the two of us. Xiahou Kong also said seriously.
"People are divided by groups, and things gather by like, this is really good, today Xue is very happy to have so many heroes as friends. Look at the Golden Abacus, Qi Tianzhen and others, and the corpse chasing faction Wei Tongtian, all of whom are dignified generation of grandmasters, but they all defected to the mysterious organization because of interests or other reasons, and are enemies of the entire rivers and lakes, intending to eradicate dissidents, dominate the rivers and lakes, regardless of their own identity, and be willing to be eagle dogs, hey, Xue is ashamed to be among the top ten in the world with them. But now, the top ten in the world is a joke, this mysterious organization can crush us with a random master, I see their skills, by no means under the master of three laughs and a crying Taoist, perhaps, the master who has not yet shown up is still above them, and our current situation is extremely dangerous. I'm really afraid that I'll be bothered by you. β
"Snow hero, I, Li Changyang, am a rough man, but if you know a little, in the face of strong enemies and dangers, as long as we do not lose our chivalrous nature, what if the enemy is wrong? What if we are not invincible? We have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and we are a dignified seven-foot man, I would rather die standing than kneel to live! It's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, and the head falls off is just a bowl-sized scar, and now I and the broken sword are with you. Go in the water, go in the fire, you don't want to drive us away anyway!" "Hell Swordsman" Li Changyang was afraid that Xue Qing would drive them away, so he hurriedly said, and he looked like he was giving up on me. "Old ghost Xiahou, am I right?"
"Yes, Snow Hero, don't you want to get rid of us!" Xiahou replied categorically.
"Snow hero, don't even think about our brothers and the black and white impermanence brothers, besides, we have nowhere to go, and Lai also depends on you. "Yin and Yang Double Judgment" Cui Wuming and Cui Wusheng are even more decisive.
"Yes, our two little ghosts are more difficult to entangle, and they also entangle you Snow Hero, if it is really in the catastrophe, our brothers are willing to return to the underworld with Snow Hero, not to mention, if there is really such a day, to the bottom, maybe, the real Yin Difference will also sell our Yang Judge and impermanence a little face, if there are four of us, it is good to have a response. Everyone who said something about the Black Impermanence King was moved.
Since all the heroes said so, I will not drive everyone away, and we will live and die together! No matter how high the martial arts of the mysterious man are! Perhaps the murderer of the moment will succeed, and in the end, I believe that evil will prevail over good after all. If we really can't escape, it's a big deal to fight with them. I believe that in addition to one or two masters, with our strength, they can definitely make them suffer heavy casualties!" Xue Qing said righteously, her eyes full of determination.
"Okay, it's a deal!" said everyone in unison, "There is wine today, we will be drunk tomorrow!" "Hell Swordsman" said heroically. After speaking, he picked up the wine in front of him and poured it down.
The people who "drank" also picked up their bowls one after another, drank booze, and ate a table of dishes in a stormy manner! In the past few days, they have only eaten dry food, and their stomachs have long been exhausted.
"Xiao Er, is the money enough? Prepare a guest room for us! We will rest for a few hours and leave, and if we don't stay overnight, the money is not enough, I will give it to you." Xue Qing said to the shopkeeper.
"Guest officer, enough, enough, what are you talking about, the money you gave, you can't use it for another month, go, I'll take a few people to rest!" The shopkeeper is also a real person: "You have a good rest, I will prepare the tea, and when you are rested, I will bring it to you." You've drunk so much wine, and when you wake up, you'll be thirsty!"
"That's very good, Xiao Er bothered!" As soon as Xue Qing made a move, she gave Xiao Er about ten taels of silver on an ingot. Xiao Er shirked for a long time, then accepted it and led the group to the guest room to rest......
