Chapter 3, Section 4 Four wild purple bamboo incense

"If you go back to your master, the disciple should have arrived the day before yesterday, but because he was careless and did not prepare a birthday gift for the master, he had to turn back to Xiangxi seven days ago and take a vat of fine wine to wish you Yaxing. ”

On the seventh day, I made a return trip from Xiangxi to Kongtong, a good Zhou Lingfeng!

"It's worthy of Brother Zhou, this kind of light skill is really beyond my generation!"

Zhou Lingfeng was not humble either, he just smiled loudly, "Ah, Long Dashao has arrived!"

Many people here are old acquaintances with Zhou Lingfeng, and they came over to say hello, and after Zhou Lingfeng was over, he was hugged by Fu Yuanshan to the table of the juniors in Kongtong. Their table was adjacent to Xiao Fei, Situ Shenjian, Yang Lian, Long Yuxuan and others.

I happened to hear Fu Yuanshan begging Zhou Lingfeng bitterly, "Third Senior Brother, open it quickly, please, I'm hungry to death!"

"Look at your dead appearance," Wan Zhenjiang said with a smile, "Today is the master's birthday." If it was in the past, it would be better to say. But today, in front of so many people, don't lose the rules!"

Seeing Fu Yuanshan grimacing at Wan Zhenjiang, Zhou Lingfeng smiled and said, "Second Senior Brother doesn't have to be like this, in fact, as long as Master and Uncle nod their heads." In this way, wouldn't it not only break the rules, but also help our brothers?"

Wan Zhenjiang said: "I'm going to beg Master!" After saying that, he was about to get up, but was held down by Zhou Lingfeng, "No need, Uncle Shi can't help it." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fei raised his head and looked forward, and saw that Yang Juechen was muttering in Yi Qingchen's ear.

Then, Yi Qingchen cleared his throat and said, "Little apprentice Lingfeng, I specially found a vat of water and wine, and the old man ordered him to open it to help you Yaxing." ”

The crowd immediately applauded. Everyone knows the name of "Tengbei Feifeng" Zhou Lingfeng's wine, likes to drink, and is also good at wine tasting.

I only heard Zhou Lingfeng say "yes", then walked to the hall, removed the seal of the wine vat, and suddenly there was a rich and mellow aroma of wine, filling the entire hall. The vat also seemed to have a divine power all of a sudden, and the eyes of everyone present were sucked in.

Kongtong veteran Yang Jiechen is a senior drunkard, he took a deep breath of wine, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "Good wine, good wine! Hahaha...... Ling Feng, Uncle Shi can't help it, you have embarrassed Uncle Shi and me today. Hurry up, give me a cup to quench your cravings!"

Zhou Lingfeng hurriedly agreed: "Yes, uncle." ”

Fu Yuanshan had already sent a big wine glass, so Zhou Lingfeng scooped a cup with a wooden spoon and presented it to Yang Jiechen with both hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm rude!" he said, "grunt", poured down the large glass of wine, and then frowned and stammered, as if it was because he had drunk it too fast just now, and now he tasted it carefully. And all the people waited quietly.

"Wow, good wine!" After a long while, Yang Jiechen let out a long sigh, and then licked his lips again, "Yang is not in vain!"

Yang Juechen, a big drunkard, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows his name as a "confused swordsman". In fact, he is not confused, his swordsmanship and skills are longer than that of his junior brother Yi Qingchen, but he is gentle, generous, and has no quarrel with the world, and he is good at the things in this cup, and he often gets drunk, so he gets the nickname of "Confused Swordsman", but he does not lose the demeanor of the elderly on weekdays. However, once he saw the wine, he was not the Yang Juechen of the serious time. For his performance today, the older generation such as Huaizhi and Qingxu present were not surprised, but the younger generation was eye-opening.

According to Yi Qingchen's instructions, Zhou Lingfeng first used a wine jar to fill a jar, and then divided the wine from table to table, and each table had a small wine jar with a mouth. Fu Yuanshan was Zhou Lingfeng's assistant, holding another jar containing wine and following Zhou Lingfeng. Every time Zhou Lingfeng added wine to a table, he also poured a cup and drank it with his head up, and the heroes on that table were also happy to drink. Zhou Lingfeng is undoubtedly the wine official of this birthday banquet.

The people present were all heroes on the rivers and lakes, about 80 people, Zhou Lingfeng basically knew each other, and there was talk and laughter in the process of persuading the wine, so unhappy, as if he had become the protagonist of this banquet. However, everyone knows: this is Zhou Lingfeng, the bold, free and easy, unpretentious prodigal son Zhou Lingfeng.

Soon, Zhou Lingfeng turned to Situ Shenjian's table, "Oh, Long Dashao, why don't these Zhous know each other?" As soon as he came over, Xiao Fei smelled a strong smell of wine.

"Then, let's introduce it," Long Yuxuan stood up and said, "This is the high-footed Situ Shen Sword of the old alliance leader of Situ, Situ Shaoxia." ”

"Oh, Brother Situ. Zhou Lingfeng first put the jar and cup on the table and arched his hand.

"I have heard the name of Zhou Shaoxia for a long time, and when I see it today, I am fortunate to have three lives. Situ Shen Jian said politely.

In fact, Zhou Lingfeng recognized Situ Shenjian and Xiao Fei as soon as he came in, but it was just that it was difficult to recognize each other because of the presence of everyone.

"Brother Situ walked the rivers and lakes for the first time, and it is not surprising that Brother Zhou didn't know him. This is the left arm and right arm of the leader of the old alliance of Situ, and more than ten years ago, he was a well-known character in the rivers and lakes, and Yang Lian's predecessor was known as the 'Lightning Sword'. Since Yang Lian is a servant and Situ Shenjian is the master, even though Yang Lian is of a higher seniority, Long Yuxuan still puts him in the back to introduce him.

"Young Master Long has an overreputation and has seen Zhou Shaoxia. Yang Lian behaved in a humble and easy-going manner.

"I have heard of the prestige of Yang's predecessors. Situ returned the salute.

"This is Jiangnan Yashi Xiao Fei, Mr. Xiao. Long Yuxuan continued.

So Zhou Lingfeng had a polite conversation with Xiao Fei again, and then drank goodbye.

"I said, Brother Zhou, what's the name of your wine? Go back and buy a few jars of his mother's wine, and get drunk with him for a few days and nights!"

"Huh? Haha, I just won't tell you, let's see if I can lure out your gluttony!" Zhou Lingfeng laughed while adding a pot of wine to the table of Yi Qingchen and the other older generations where Mu Cheng was.

Zhou Lingfeng's words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the hall.

"Ling Feng, don't be rude!" Yi Qingchen feigned anger and said, "Elder Mu is an elder and a distinguished guest today, how can you be presumptuous!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's rare for the younger brother to see Brother Zhou with such a temperament, haha......"

Yang Jiechen has the best amount of wine at this table, he has never put down the jar on the table at all, and drank cup after cup, if it weren't for the crowd, he might have picked up the wine jar and drank it a long time ago, and others, like Yi Qingchen, Liu Yichen, Mu Cheng, etc., all paid more attention to their demeanor as elders, and just raised a glass and drank while talking and laughing.

Seeing that Yang Jiechen had drunk three cups in a row, he was about to reach out to carry the wine jar to pour the fourth cup, but he was unexpectedly snatched by the other hand, and when he raised his head, it was Huaizhi, an old monk of Shaolin Temple. Huaizhi has not been drinking since he entered the banquet, as a monk, he only eats two dishes of vegetarian dishes in front of him, and in addition, the Kongtong faction also specially served him and Qingxu Dao Chang a pot of tea.

I saw Huaizhi firmly mention the wine jar, and there was a full bowl in the empty tea bowl, and he drank it slowly like a fairy dew, "Yi Jushi, Lao Wei has broken the vows for you today." ”

"In this way, it is the old man's sin. : Yi Qingchen smiled.

At this time, Qingxu Zhenren also poured himself a bowl, "Good wine, the poor road has also broken the vows." I'm afraid that this sin is not in Yi Jushi, but in Zhou Shaoxia. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Lingfeng was not far away, and naturally heard it, "Is it the fault of the juniors? Although the juniors ask themselves a lot of mistakes in their lives, only drinking is good!"

"Okay, Ling Feng boy! It's good to drink!" Yang Juechen laughed and said, "Where is the fault of drinking!

Zhou Lingfeng turned around knowingly, raised his glass and drank with his uncle.

"Now that you've broken your vows, why not drink another drink. Huaizhi poured another cup, and by the way, he also filled the tea bowl with Qingxu, "Qingxu Daoist, please." ”

"Poor road is accompanied by ---- rare to have such a good wine. "One monk drank another cup of wine.

"Now that you have broken the vows, why not drink a few more cups and pay tribute to the master. Qingxu said that he had already poured wine, and the two of them each drank another glass.

"Slow down!" Yang Jiechen shouted, "The two of you are monks, how can you drink again, let's let me be a layman." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the jar.

I didn't want to be fast, I held the tea bowl with my right hand, slapped the table with my left hand, and a lot of energy aroused the wine jar, and I was caught by Huaizhi in my hand, and poured two more glasses, before handing it to Yang Jiechen, who seemed to hold it in his arms.

Qingxu said: "When the master returns to Shaolin, he has to go to the precept institute to ask for Zen, and the poor Dao will drink this cup with the master again." ”

"Amitabha, fellow Taoists, you and I are each other. ”

But why did Yang Jiechen care about this jar of wine every day, because he had already seen that after the vat of wine that Zhou Lingfeng brought was divided, there were only two jars left, one jar was given to them for this table, and the remaining jar Zhou Lingfeng held in his hand, and saw that the posture was enjoyed by himself. And he, Yang Juechen, was embarrassed to ask Zhou Lingfeng again, besides, with Zhou Lingfeng not losing his temperament in this regard, even if he asked for it, he might not be able to come out. You must know that Zhou Lingfeng has always acted recklessly, he doesn't care that this is his master's birthday banquet, he won't give his master much face. There was no way, Yang Juechen had no choice but to pay close attention to the jar of wine on his table.

Zhou Lingfeng walked to the table of Xiao Fei and the others again: "There is only this altar left in the 'Four Wild Purple Bamboo Incense', Zhou Lingfeng and everyone else will drink together!"

Xiao Fei first put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then drank it leisurely, "Is 'Siye Zizhu Fragrance'? Good wine! Good name!"

Long Yuxuan picked up the cup, "Thank you, Brother Zhou." "Raise your head and drink.

Yang said "please" and did it.

Situ Shenjian drank it all, "Good wine!"
