Chapter 84, tasteless and light as water
Although Cicada Alley is deep and long, the entire alley is covered by wine sellers.
Oh, I should have bought it.
The owner of the wine seller does not live here very often, but there are several times throughout the year.
The shop only sells alcohol here in the early snow, and Tatsumasa attracts people.
The monks were talking, and Shippo woke up and poked his head out.
"Wow-Shen girl, are so many monks here to buy that wine?"
"Huh, are you awake?"
Qibao smiled, swayed his fishtail and looked at Jiang Minzhi next to Shen Xunyi.
"Everyone is chatting, why don't you talk to this little thief?"
Shen Xunyi: ......
He could hear it. ”
Then Qibao felt his fish head cold, and Jiang Minzhi's gaze fell on his head.
It silently shrank back and blew bubbles.
The time was fast approaching.
"Hey, someone's coming, someone's coming. "There is humanity.
Shen Xunyi turned her head to look, it was a young woman wearing light apricot clothes, I don't know when, she pushed open the door and came out, and she was walking slowly from the alley towards everyone at this moment.
Walking to the entrance of the alley, everyone became quiet.
The woman stopped, looked up at everyone, and slowly smiled on her cold face.
"You're all here to buy wine?"
Everyone nodded.
The woman bowed slightly, "Please line up and follow me in turn." Then she turned around.
After a pause, the woman turned around and smiled, "Don't fight, we don't rely on first-come, first-served to sell wine." ”
"Don't fight, don't grab, and be faster. ”
Many of the monks were going to follow her closely, and although everyone had heard that it was a matter of luck to buy their wine, they were habitually biased.
Whether it's cultivation or anything else, I always feel that what is in front always seems to be good. If you are slower than others, you will feel embarrassed and feel like you can't get good things.
At this moment, hearing the woman in apricot clothes say this, she couldn't help but hesitate.
The apricot woman didn't say anything more, and walked inside.
Shen Xunyi blinked and looked at the back of the apricot woman with interest.
Looking at it again, the people who were scrambling to leave just now became a little cringe because of her words.
Shen Xunyi Khan, he said that he didn't rely on first come, first come, including last arrival, these people didn't do anything.
Do you think that the first one to go at this moment is a scramble?
She immediately turned her head and pulled Jiang Minzhi, Jiang Minzhi didn't panic, she originally planned to go in later.
At this moment, they were pulled by Shen Xunyi, but the two of them became the first people to follow behind the woman in Xingyi.
Jiang Min was stunned, looked at Shen Xunyi in a little surprise, glanced at her hand again, and frowned slightly.
The first thought that came to her mind was, she had just eaten a bun and washed her hands?
Shen Xunyi didn't know that this person had so many ideas.
They followed the apricot woman inside, and the wind blew the snowflakes and pasted the crimson stone path.
Along the way, Shen Xunyi noticed that there were still many houses on both sides of the alley.
It was probably lived in by someone else before it was bought.
It doesn't look like it's inhabited now, but the front of the door and the walls are surprisingly clean.
I kept walking and walking, and finally stopped near the end.
Further on, there is a stone canal around the town.
The apricot woman's hand knocked on the door seven times, the door opened from the inside, and Shen Xunyi tilted her head out to look.
It was the same young woman in an apricot robe, and the young woman handed out a small porcelain bottle, and the woman in front of Shen Xunyi took it.
She then turned around and pulled out a note from under the porcelain vase. It's about pressed underneath.
The woman in apricot clothes saw it, and an ice-blue fire suddenly ignited in her hand, burning the paper to ashes.
The hearts of everyone watching were slightly cold, this seemingly ordinary woman who led the way to sell wine and apricot clothes turned out to be an immortal cultivator, and it seemed that she was also a mutated ice spirit root?
In the face of everyone's gaze, the woman only smiled faintly.
Shen Xunyi was puzzled, she couldn't see that this apricot woman had cultivation, could it be too high, so she couldn't see it.
Jiang Minzhi also frowned slightly.
The apricot woman held up the small porcelain bottle in her hand at this moment, "You all came here to buy our wine." ”
"Let you check before buying, if you are satisfied, we will proceed to the next step, and if you are not satisfied, you will leave by yourself. ”
Although there are many monks here, most of them are relatively young monks, and their cultivation is not very high.
Shen Xunyi found from the muttering of some people before that most of them may have been called by their own people to run errands.
The monks of higher realms probably disdained to participate in such rules for the sake of wine, and were guided and instructed by others.
Besides, it's such a young wine seller.
Shen Xunyi thought about it, Teacher Bai seemed to be a casual and uninhibited person, but he didn't expect to mind this.
At this time, Bai Jiaoshi sneezed in the house in the mountains, he touched his beard, and said in his heart who was scolding him.
But in the next second, I looked forward to it, and the two apprentices had already arrived in Yunsu.
I don't know if I can bring him the wine back.
He was hooked as soon as he smelled the wine.
He touched his nose, though.
I think he can't buy such a wise person.
Everyone listened to the words of the apricot woman, but they had no intention of changing their minds.
They came from afar, and they came empty-handed.
However, the porcelain vase in the woman's hand was too small, similar to the one they used to hold the elixir.
Such a small bottle can hold a few drops of wine.
However, not all of them are like Shen Xunyi, and they are here for the first time.
Someone laughed quietly, "Don't underestimate this wine, the first time you come back, this wine will be like the elixir and jade liquid for more than a drop." Let's see!"
The apricot woman uncorked the small porcelain vase at this time, and there was no taste for a while.
Shen Xunyi was stunned for a moment, she got closer, sniffed carefully, and asked Jiang Minzhi, "Do you smell anything?"
Jiang Minzhi shook his head, and Shen Xunyi relieved himself.
The liquid in the porcelain vase was not visible, but it smelled like water, and there was nothing.
Shen Xunyi thought that her nose was broken.
The people below also gradually became noisy.
"Didn't you just say that this wine is like a jade liquid, and the liquid has no taste?"
The man who spoke before: ......
"I'm just making an analogy, whoever has drunk that elixir and jade liquid, I haven't become an immortal yet. ”
The man in the back was stunned, "You are exaggerating, you haven't drunk the elixir and jade liquid at all, and you are still comparing it randomly!"
Shen Xunyi's eyes were bent, and the elixir jade liquid originally referred to the slurry made of beautiful jade, and it is said that if you drink it, you can become an immortal.
But exaggeration is also a kind of analogy.
In the face of the commotion of the crowd, the woman in apricot clothes had a calm face.
"I heard that this wine is famous, so I came here, and I sold it for half a month, but I don't feel like that. ”
"Hey, me too, I don't smell of alcohol at all, where is wine. ”
"Hey, let's go, let's go!"
Saying that, there are really people walking back.
Shen Xunyi and Jiang Minzhi were not interested in the wine itself, but this was the task given to the two by the master.
It doesn't matter if this wine is worthy of wine or not, it is good to take it home.
The rest of the people also waited, and just when everyone became more and more restless, a strange fragrance wrapped the entire cicada alley at some point.
