"Hey, that harpy didn't chase after you?"

Su Chen stood behind the flying sword, looking at the rear cautiously, the bird demon's flight speed was extremely fast, according to Su Chen's speculation, but with a pillar of incense, the bird demon could catch up with them, Su Chen was ready to delay the bird demon, but the time of one pillar of incense passed, and the time of two pillars of incense passed, until Su Chen and they arrived at the gate of the ancient mansion, the bird demon had not caught up.

Su Chen put his mind at ease, but his brows were furrowed terribly, Yao Liang on the side couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Su Chen's appearance, and said: "Senior Brother Su, you are too cautious, this bird demon obviously knows our intentions, and came to the house with its cultivation, without the help of those pair of bird wings, not only was it made into roasted wings by us?

Su Chen, who couldn't figure it out, nodded lightly, agreeing with Yao Liang's opinion, "This house looks like it's been around for some years. Su Chen looked up at this mansion, and always felt a little strange, it stands to reason that their location should be a barren forest, uninhabited, in this barren forest, there is such an ancient mansion.

"Yes, Xiaochen. Yao Liang also looked at the ancient mansion, but he was not as cautious as Su Chen, and he withdrew his gaze after just a glance, "This place is not far from the Huaquan Sect, and it may be unknown which cultivator lives here." It's getting late now, and since we're here, let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow. ”

After Yao Liang finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Su Chen's and Jianshan's opinions, and pushed with his hand, and the door of the ancient mansion opened, Su Chen couldn't stop it, so he sighed lightly, and pulled Jianshan to follow Yao Liang into the ancient mansion.

There was no light in the ancient mansion, Yao Liang felt out a fireball talisman, and the purple flames instantly illuminated the hall of the ancient mansion.

"Is there anyone?" Yao Liang tried his best to make his voice sound kind, and shouted towards the depths of the house, after the fireball lit up the house, Su Chen saw that the room in the depths of them should be a front hall, except for a square table, and two stools, there was nothing else.

"This room is so clean that it should be inhabited. ”

"Ahem......"

As soon as Su Chen's words fell, a heavy coughing sound suddenly came from the depths of the ancient mansion, Su Chen and the others immediately looked nervous, staring intently at the depths of the house, they knew that the back should be the inner house, and if this house was inhabited, it should also be inside.

"Who?"

Sure enough, after coughing, a hoarse voice came from the inner house again, followed by the voice of Si Suosuo.

"The owner of the house should be an old man. Yao Liang instantly distinguished the age of the owner of the voice.

"Now that autumn has just begun, the owner of the house has already contracted the wind cold, and it seems that he is a mortal, so we don't have to worry. ”

Immediately after that, Su Chen also expressed his judgment, and after thinking for a moment, Su Chen stretched out his right hand and touched it in the storage ring, took out a copper coin, and whispered: "There is only this copper coin left, and I don't know if it is enough for the accommodation expenses of the three of us." ”

"Squeak ......"

The door to the inner courtyard opened, and a dim oil lamp and a hunched old man appeared in front of Su Chen and the others, "Ahem...... What do you little brothers do?"

Lao Su coughed lightly a few times, there was no trace of blood on his wrinkled face, and asked Su Chen and the others with great difficulty, Su Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Lao Suo when he saw this.

"Why is it so cold?" Su Chen's face changed slightly, and he said with concern: "The old man is fine, I waited for the three of us to come from the south, I don't know that the weather in the north is so cold in early autumn, and now the night is dark, I want to stay here for one night, I don't know if the old man can make it convenient?"

"Ahem...... "Ahem" Lao Suo quietly took two steps back, avoiding Su Chen's hands, and said with difficulty: "This place is a hundred miles away from this house, you can spend the night for yourself, there are too many travelers who have come here to spend the night recently, only the last wing room on the left is left, young man, if you want to spend the night, go to that wing." ”

As Lao Suo stretched out his finger tremblingly, Su Chen and the three of them did see a house with the door not closed.

"Thank you, old man. Xiaosheng Su Chen, these are my two friends Yao Liang and Jianshan Little Master, I don't know what the old man is called?"

"Ahem. Just call me Uncle Zhang. ”

After Lao Suo answered, he took Su Chen and the others towards the empty house, and when they entered the house, he pointed behind him with an oil lamp and said: "The three of you can live, but remember not to go to the inner house, but there are more people living in the side room here, for the safety of the three little brothers, don't open the door at will after nightfall, let alone walk around." ”

After Lao Suo finished speaking, he turned around with difficulty, and walked towards the inner house tremblingly, and at the same time, a voice came behind him, "There is no extra food in the house for the three little brothers, but there is a lot of soju hidden in the cellar, if the three of them don't dislike it, they can go and get some to warm their bodies." ”

After Zhang Lao left, Su Chen put away the gratitude on his face and sighed: "Zhang Lao has reached the end of his life, whether he can survive this cold winter is two words, Senior Brother Yao, what means does Taihemen have to make mortals live longer?"

"Senior Brother Su must not have such thoughts in the future. Su Chen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly covered Su Chen's mouth, "We cultivators, the one who asks is only the mandate of heaven, and the one who is afraid is also the mandate of heaven, and the one who obeys should also be the mandate of heaven. ”

Yao Liang's words Su Chen didn't seem to understand, the more he thought about it, the more doubts in his heart, but looking at Yao Liang's face, Su Chen had no choice but to give up his intention to ask.

"Senior Brother Su, I heard Elder Zhang say that there is wine here, would you like to accompany Senior Brother to drink two glasses?"

"Okay. Su Chen was reluctant to refute Yao Liang's interest, and he was already a little afraid in his heart, so he nodded and agreed, and the two went to the cellar to move out a few unopened wine jars, and as soon as they were opened, the whole room exuded a strong aroma of wine.

The two picked up a green bowl from the table, one poured a bowl, saw the goodness, his face showed a look of horror, and hurriedly left the two, sat cross-legged on the bed, folded his hands, and kept muttering, "Sin and sin......

"Xiaochen, I only saluted you today, and when you officially become a disciple of Taihemen, you will be my junior brother, you can rest assured, as long as there is a senior brother, no one in Taihemen will dare to bully you. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yao...... Ahem. Su Chen only took half a sip, a look of pain appeared on his face, Yao Liang saw this, and laughed loudly, "Xiaochen hasn't drunk alcohol before?"

"I've never drunk it, I didn't expect it to be so spicy. Su Chen replied honestly, put the unfinished wine bowl on the table, with a trace of fear on his face, Yao Liang laughed again, and then drank the wine in his hand under Su Chen's shocked gaze.

"Good wine, good wine, I didn't expect such a mellow wine in this remote place. ”

"Why do I feel that the wine doesn't feel anything other than spicy?" Su Chen was suspicious, his eyes staring at Yao Liang, hoping to see a trace of pain on his face.

"Xiaochen, you don't understand. Yao Liang licked the remaining wine in the wine bowl with his tongue, and then poured himself a bowl, "Wine is never the wine itself, it is an atmosphere, just like Xiaochen and I have experienced so many tribulations, it is difficult to talk about it from the bottom of my heart, at this time, you can use wine as a binder, and you are drinking for the first time, and you are not used to the spicy taste of wine, if you combine the spicy taste of wine with the bitterness in your heart, then you will definitely have a different feeling when you drink it again." ”

"Senior Brother Yao means that I should drink all the bowls of fine wine in one gulp?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Yao Liang filled up the wine in Su Chen's bowl, and looked at Su Chen with encouragement, "You can taste the sweetness of wine by drinking it all, Senior Brother Su has been depressed for too long along the way, I am afraid it will not be conducive to future cultivation, drink perfect wine tonight, throw away all your troubles, and when you enter the Taihe Gate, it will be a new beginning." ”

The smile on Yao Liang's face became more and more serious, and Su Chen seemed to be aware of it, and said in a low voice, "Why does Senior Brother Yao keep staring at me?"

"No, no, Senior Brother Su, come and have a toast to us. ”

Yao Liang picked up the wine bowl, Su Chen hurriedly followed suit, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and the two of them drank it all.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Su is really a happy person......

"Division...... Elder brother...... What are you talking about?"

Su Chen slurred his speech, and suddenly felt that he especially wanted to sleep at this moment, "Yao ...... Senior Brother Yao...... How do you have two ...... The two heads are moving all the time......"

"Senior Brother Su, you drank too much. Yao Liang laughed three more times, and continued to fill up the wine in his bowl with Su Chen, "Xiaochen, how do you feel this time?"

"Taste...... Brother...... Say...... Take a sip of a bowl of wine...... Finish drinking...... It's really not spicy...... Only...... It is...... A little sleepy. ”

"It's sleepy. Yao Liang put down the wine jar and coughed twice, "Xiaochen, you feel sleepy now to prove that you have really understood how to taste wine, taste wine, the first bowl will feel sleepy, the second bowl will be sober, and the third bowl and the fourth bowl will take the initiative to drink...... Come, Xiaochen has dried this bowl, and we can be regarded as real brothers. ”

"Dry ...... Dry ......"

Su Chen's eyes were confused, he picked up his hands and touched the table for a long time before he could catch it, Su Chen's trembling hands picked up the wine bowl, and when he was about to drink it, he suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Yao ...... Handsome...... Senior brother, you ...... You...... How can there be two heads?" Although Su Chen's face was getting more and more drunk, his eyes widened, and his hands holding up the wine bowl kept shaking.

"What two heads, Xiaochen, if you drink this bowl, you will only see one senior brother. Yao Liang ignored Su Chen, and took the lead in drinking all the wine in the wine bowl, "Xiaochen, drink quickly, when you finish drinking this bowl, you will enter the second stage of wine tasting." ”

"Smack!"

Su Chen drank the wine bowl and fell directly onto the table, his eyes were almost squinted, and he still said vaguely: "Yao ...... Senior Brother Yao...... I...... What am I talking about...... It's true...... Outside the window...... Are you really ...... There really is a head ......."

"Bang!"

After Su Chen finished speaking, he instantly lay on the table, motionless.

"Xiaochen?"

"Xiaochen?"

"Xiaochen?"

Yao Liang shouted three times in a row, but Su Chen didn't react, and Yao Liang showed a trace of disappointment on his face, "Xiaochen, you drink too much...... It's too bad, I'm drunk after only two bowls. By the way, what did I just want to say to Senior Brother Su?"

"Whew......" Su Chen, who was lying on the table, began to exhale.

"Drink, yes, drink, drink......"

Yao Liang threw away the wine bowl, directly picked up the wine jar, and drank all the wine in it into ......his stomach in one go.

"Bang!"

The wine jar fell to the ground, Yao Liang stood up, staggered two steps, and said inarticulately: "This... This wine ...... How...... Some...... Not the same ......"
