Chapter 65, The Old Drunkard and the Big Yellow Dog
There is also a tree in front of the old drunkard's tavern, although it is not as big as Nasang and Huai, but it is not small, and at this moment the sun is hot, you can see a big yellow dog lying under the tree, confiding this tongue to enjoy the cold.
The weather in May is already starting to get hot, at least for the dog species.
The big yellow dog lay quietly under the tree and gasped, its body trembled, but its eyes were empty-eyed, and it didn't care about passers-by.
If this is a dog in another yard, it may bite others like crazy. However, the character of the big yellow dog is also praised by the residents of Huangni Lane, if it is a fierce dog and roars all day long, then maybe no one dares to come to the tavern to drink.
Mu Li and Chu Chu were very kind to the big yellow dog, they walked over and beckoned, the big yellow dog saw the coming, his eyes lit up, and he stood up from the ground, shook the big fluffy tail, and walked over with his tongue out.
Chu Chu had a smile on his face, leaned over and touched the head of a big yellow dog, and said, "Long time no see, big rhubarb!" The big yellow dog seemed to understand Chu Chu's words, stood up with his feet, and rubbed Chu Chu's palm with his head from time to time.
The name of the big yellow dog is very simple, it is called rhubarb, named after its coat color, not only the old drunkard calls it so, but the residents here will call it rhubarb when they see it.
Then Mu Li and the others entered the wooden door of the tavern, and Rhubarb followed him in, and entered the room, which was not very spacious, nor too bright, only a few tables and benches, and then the back hall, in which the old drunkard lived.
It was almost noon, and the residents of the alley went to work, no one came here to drink, and they usually came here to relax in the evening. Therefore, the old drunkard also settled at leisure, sitting at a table, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and whispering a sentence or two leisurely.
Mu Li looked at that appearance, and only felt that this old drunkard was also a happy person, without worrying about it, and at ease. Like Lu Yi, he is not an aboriginal of the alley, but he has been here for several years. The tavern has been open for a long time, and it can be regarded as a person in the alley.
And Mu Li is always quiet, the old drunkard's wine gourd seems to be unfinished, every time he comes, he is like this, leisurely drinking wine, humming a little song.
"Old drunkard!"
When Mu Li walked in the door, he shouted loudly, startling the old drunkard out of his state, his slightly cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the three young men who walked in. After a while, he smiled: "It turned out to be you, a stinky boy, I haven't seen you for half a year, and I'm even more energetic!"
"Haha, spirit guy!"
"Why did you bring two girls with you?" The old drunkard looked at the second daughter again, squinted and asked, he sniffed his nose, smelled a kind of qi, it was very familiar, and after meditating for a while, he understood something.
"Old drunkard, you're dazzled, I'm Chu Chu!" Chu Chu let out a loud sigh, he was already angry by Mu Li and Qinghe's mysterious appearance just now, and now he was even more angry.
I can't recognize this girl!
"Oh, it turned out to be Chu Chu girl, haha, the old man has been drinking a little too much recently, and his eyes are not very good. The old drunkard laughed and said, "Then this girl, does the old man also admit that he is wrong?"
"This is Qinghe, a newcomer, you are not mistaken. Mu Li introduced Qinghe, but the girl didn't seem to buy it at all and didn't look at him. Mu Li knew that this time he had offended this girl. And Qinghe himself doesn't have a good impression of this kind of old man who drinks.
"Haha, you kid is not shallow, such a bright girl is circling around you. The old drunkard laughed and took another sip of wine.
"Don't drink it yourself, bring me two bowls!" Mu Li shouted, hearing that the old drunkard's wine was very fragrant, he couldn't drink it before, he hadn't drunk it, but now it's different.
"Good. The old drunkard didn't say much, but went straight to the inner room, and brought out a few bowls, and a jar of dusty old wine.
The old drunkard put the wine jar on the table, separated the bowls one by one, and said, "Stinky boy, this is a good wine that I have treasured for many years, at least a few taels of silver." ”
"It doesn't matter. Mu Li beckoned, had already poured a bowl of wine, and then sniffed the wine, and then went down. He let out a long breath, only to feel that his whole body was washed and refreshed. I couldn't help but praise: "It's really good!"
Mu Li also drank wine that was not of a variety at this time, such as the drunken Linglong of Zuimenglou, the peach blossom wine brewed by Guan Shanyue, and the bowl of treasured old wine of the old drunkard, all of which have their own flavors and meanings, which make people feel different.
"Do you need them?" The old drunkard raised a bowl of wine and asked the second daughter.
"Bring me a bowl!" Qinghe was angry, and when he thought of what happened last night, he couldn't get angry, so he simply asked for a bowl of wine, and the old drunkard smiled and poured a bowl and pushed it over, and put it in front of Qinghe.
Then I saw Qinghe pick up the wine bowl and drink it, very bold, her beautiful eyes looked at Mu Li, glowing with a mad man. The startled Muli body retreated slightly.
"I want it too!"
Chu Chu saw that Mu Li and Qinghe had drunk, how could he admit defeat in his heart, and took the initiative to ask the old drunkard for a bowl. Mu Li saw the stop: "You haven't drunk alcohol, don't drink it?" ”
"I want to drink!"
Chu Chu's temper came up, and he didn't even want to listen to Mu Li's words, so he directly picked up a bowl and drank it without the slightest stagnation.
"Ahem. ”
Sure enough, Chu Chu was still choked by the spiciness, sticking out his tongue and coughing, tears were about to flow out: "Why is it so unpleasant?"
"I said I wouldn't let you drink it. Mu Li said helplessly.
"Humph!"
I don't know what's wrong, Chu Chu actually became angry with Mu Li. Mu Li was speechless, he felt that these two walked together, and he was the most unlucky.
"Hahahaha, the young man has a good temper. The old drunkard saw everything in his eyes and laughed loudly, for he was so old and in his prime that he was yearning.
Thinking about it carefully, he has been coming to Duhuangni Lane for many years, and he has even forgotten how many years, but the general trend of the world is undecided, and Lu Yi hasn't left yet, so he can't go.
I miss the smell of Middle-earth.
But now that he has taken out all the wine in this jar, he naturally wants to 'entertain' the three teenagers.
"Old man, there is a rule here, I don't know if you know?" asked the old drunkard.
"Oh? Mu Li was interested, he really didn't know what the rules were here.
"Wow!"
At this time, the rhubarb lying on the ground bit twice, wagged his tail, as if to tell them to the point, and then the old drunkard made a gesture and said: "Three bowls, whoever enters the old man's tavern and drinks the old man's wine, must drink at least three bowls." ”
"What kind of rules are these, the guests are important, and the old drunkard is not kind to you to set rules for individuals. Mu Li retorted.
"Tell me why you have at least three bowls. ”
"It's the rule. There is also a good accounting, three bowls of wine for a tael of silver, but you drink more than one tael of silver today, for the sake of your boy and the old man's friendship for many years, a bowl of wine will charge you three taels, and the three of you will have at least nine bowls, and if you drink one or two more, it will be just ten taels. ”
"The calculations are quite accurate. Mu Li sighed when he heard this. He looked at Chu Chu Qinghe, he knew the amount of wine in Qinghe, three bowls would not be a problem, but Chu Chu might not be able to.
"Xiao Chuchu can't drink three bowls. ”
"Drink!" However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Chu seemed to be angry with him, and he had to do it with him.
"Haha, Chu Chu girl said it herself, but don't worry, the old man's wine won't hurt you, at most it's just drunk. ”
"Wang. Rhubarb seconded.
"You rhubarb, and you're making do with it!" Mu Li looked at the big yellow dog wagging his tail, stretched out his hand to hide his face, Chu Chu, this girl, why did she suddenly get angry.
"Okay, since you want to drink, then whatever, anyway, this son has money!" Mu Li beckoned, took the lead in pouring another bowl of wine, and drank it again. It's just that this time the feeling is very different from the previous glass.
He only felt that it was like ten thousand years of cold ice brewing, and the shocked people's hearts and intestines were frozen, and a kind of extreme yin qi filled his body, condensing his true qi all over his body.
But that yin qi actually gradually merged into his body, and after a while, it turned into the true qi in his body. The other Haoran sword qi was unmoved.
"Good wine!" Mu Li's face was a little pale, the old drunkard's jar of wine was really not ordinary wine. But he didn't harm himself, and even helped himself, so Mu Li didn't hesitate, poured the third bowl of wine, and then drank it.
Wow!
This bowl of wine was in his stomach, Mu Li only felt that his internal organs were about to burn, and a blazing yang qi that was completely different from the previous bowl was surging with the wine, burning and refining every piece of skin on his body.
Mu Li only felt that his qi and blood were boiling, constantly sublimating, and his physique became more and more pure and powerful, as if he had been forged by real fire, although the pain was unbearable, but the effect was amazing.
The second daughter looked at Mu Li's slightly painful expression, as well as the sweat drops on his forehead, and was a little shocked, what kind of wine is this, which actually makes Mu Li so uncomfortable. But I feel so enjoyed.
Then Qinghe also drank it, Chu Chu was not to be outdone, and also drank the second bowl, and they immediately understood why Mu Li was like this.
When Mu Li finished drinking three bowls, he only felt that the ice and fire in his body were merging, constantly refining his true qi and body, and Mu Li simply ran the "Huang Ting Jing" and began to refine this power.
When the old drunkard felt this power, he couldn't help laughing, this is the power of "Huang Tingjing". It seems that everything is already doomed.
At this time, Chu Chu and Qing He had already drunk the third bowl, agreed to close their eyes, and used the "Huang Ting Sutra" to refine, this scripture had already been passed on to the two of them by Mu Li, helping them to practice.
I have to say that the "Huang Ting Sutra" seems to be specially designed to absorb the power in this wine, when the scripture is run, everything is like a natural flow, and the power of ice and fire in the wine is automatically refined, turning into the true qi of the three of them, and their cultivation is all strengthened.
This wine is simply a spiritual treasure and a panacea.
"Wang, Wang. Rhubarb barked with its tongue out, its eyes staring at the halo around the three of them, wagging its tail unconsciously.
"Haha, rhubarb, please eat meat tonight!" The old drunkard also seemed to be very happy, reaching out and stroking a dog's head, smiling unhibly.
After a while, Mu Li opened his eyes, refining the power of this wine, his true qi became more powerful, and his cultivation improved a lot.
"Thank you, old drunkard, for your good wine. He clenched his fists, and at this moment he already knew that the preciousness of the old drunkard's jar of wine was more than ten taels of silver that could be bought.
"C-fire refining body, sunflower water refining qi. ”
Qing He opened his eyes and said slowly, this kind of power, she had seen before, this old drunkard's wine, actually used propylene fire as carbon and sunflower water as a spring to brew a treasure wine comparable to the spiritual liquid of cultivation.
What kind of person is this? Is it really an ordinary person? There is also the previous Lu Yi, in addition to the amazing "Six Arts", the feeling that she is also deeply hidden, and now she has met such an old drunkard again. It's even similar to his own master.
It's not easy to leave the two people this guy knows.
"Haha, it seems that Miss Qinghe has a lot of knowledge, and she actually told the secret of the old man's wine, and she is not an ordinary person. The old drunkard did not deny it.
Mu Li was not calm at this time, Binghuo, Kwai Shui, he seemed to have heard of this thing. At this time, Chu Chu also woke up, his pretty face was red, and he was already a touch of drunkenness.
