29. Sycamore luxuriant
When I came out of the teahouse, it was still early, and I took the court to the wine store again. I said before that if I invite him to drink, I will definitely invite him to drink, and I have always been true to my word.
The bartender brother was still as enthusiastic as ever, wiping the table and cleaning the stool and was very busy: "Miss Xiaoyue hasn't been here for a long time, what do you want to drink today?"
"The shop is full of good wine, why don't you have a jar?"
I am a regular customer of the wine shop, and I often give them a large order of business, because the bartender brother did not have any doubts about my strange way of ordering wine, I reported a series of dishes with ease, and then asked the little brother to hurry up and serve the food, after all, it is too boring to drink dry.
Waiting for the bartender brother to go down to prepare with a smile on his face, I explained to Chao: "Originally, it was supposed to be the host and let you choose the wine and order, but I thought that you didn't know much about it when you came out for the first time, so just let me arrange it today, and wait for you to see if it is satisfactory?"
In fact, this is just a polite remark from the people of the mortal world, and the court will not have any opinions anyway, right?
The wine and food were served quickly, and the bartender brother got the money and went down with great eyesight.
A table full of wine and food makes people feel refreshed when they look at it.
I poured wine for the court: "Taste it." β
He took a sip, but his face turned red and coughed, a rare gaffe: "What is this?"
"Wine. I poured myself a glass and took a sip, it was cold in my mouth, soft in my throat, but it fell into my stomach like a beating flame, and the heat gradually spread throughout my body.
"Drink more, and you'll know how good it is. "I poured my glass again for the morning wine.
Chao frowned and barely tasted it: "It's a little hot." β
I knew that the wine was starting to work, so I no longer advised to drink, but recommended the dishes on the table: "It's not interesting to just drink, I ordered a table of dishes, his spicy crispy fish is delicious, the skin is crispy and the meat is fine, the taste is unique, sweet, sour, salty and spicy, even if you eat it once, it is impossible to forget." β
Chao pinched a chopstick: "It's really delicious." β
I smiled with satisfaction, raised my glass and said, "It's good to like it." After this experience, we can be considered friends. β
Chao didn't answer, just tilted his head and drank the wine.
Since they are friends, it is very logical to drink and talk about each other. Although most of the time it's me drinkingγI'm talkingγ
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, I squinted at the wine glass and asked drunkenly: "Do you have a sister?"
"Hmm. "The Ming and Ming dynasties also drank a lot, but their eyes were clear and there was no trace of drunkenness.
I pecked at the wine in the glass one after another: "Where's my sister?"
Sitting in front of him: "The place where the gods died." β
Half of the wine in the glass was pecked, and I could no longer drink it with my mouth, so I rolled it with the tip of my tongue instead, which is what I learned from Philip: "It's not very auspicious to hear this name, how can you live there?"
Chao's expression was gloomy: "That's where our clan lives, and there are still my parents and sisters there." β
This kid is honest, he has one thing to say, and he will give additional explanations if he doesn't ask.
In the end, I couldn't even roll up the wine, so I leaned on the table with a wine glass in my mouth and asked inarticulately, "Since you still have a family and family, why did you leave your homeland and come to Forget-Forget-Forget-Mountain with my mother?"
"In order to seal Jiuli. β
"Why did you seal Jiuli?"
Chao paused, his expression solemn.
I waited a long time before he continued, "In order to prevent the resurrection of the demon god, the lives will be ruined. β
I let go of the wine glass on my lips, and changed from lying on the table to sitting upright: "What kind of price does it take to seal the Jiuli Demon God?"
Chao stopped talking, closed his eyes, and began to slowly slide down the table.
I quickly took two steps forward and reached out to grab him.
This kid didn't drink much, but he didn't show it on his face, and if he hadn't answered my question honestly like this, I wouldn't have known that he was actually drunk. I saw that he hadn't been drunk for a long time, and I was ready to pretend to be drunk and stupid and ask him about things, but I didn't expect him to be drunk and save my effort. It's a pity that I fell a little earlier, otherwise I could have asked more questions.
Chao was so drunk, his whole body was soft and weak, and I staggered when I helped him, and it was difficult for me to walk. Out of the town to see that there was no one around, I simply carried him directly, although I am a woman, but also a cultivator, the weight of a hundred pounds is not a problem at all, so it is easier.
All the way back to the moon, the wind is under my feet, and what I think in my heart is also a hundred turns.
On that day, I not only found a trace in my mother's ashram, but also saw a secret letter.
There was only one sentence on the letter: The descendants have a method of sealing.
At that time, when the court came to the Forgetfulness Mountain, I probably guessed his identity, and then pretended to ask inadvertently that this matter was caused by Jiuli, and now I know the demon god in the Jiuli sword.
It's just that the title of "Demon God" doesn't sound like a good character, and if the mother wants to seal Jiuli, it will cut off the hope of the resurrection of the demon god, but I'm afraid that this matter will not be good.
Back at the Forgetfulness Mountain, I took the Chao back to the room and settled down, and then went out to the back of the mountain forest, I still have one more thing to do.
Don't forget the many sycamores on the mountain. I don't know who planted these plane trees, I don't know when they grew, and they've been like a tree since I can remember.
"It is said that the phoenix is perched on the sycamore, but for so many years, I have never seen any phoenix come to this mountain, so it is better to cheapen me today. "I stood under the plane tree, and with a flash of my sword, I had an extra sycamore tree in my hand.
Retrospective has helped me preserve the memory of Philip, and if I want Philip to stay with me, I need to derive this memory from retrospection, and the plane wood in my hand now is where Philip will live in the future.
For the rest of the day, my mother was in retreat. I play around with the morning during the day, and at night I pick up the lamp and carve this sycamore wood.
When I woke up, I didn't remember what I asked him, so it was okay to save me embarrassment.
Such happy times usually pass quickly. Suddenly, one day, my mother finished her retreat and left the ashram with a pale face.
Then he said to me, "I'm leaving." β
Finally, the day of separation, I dragged Chao's sleeve and asked him casually: "Chao, where are you going now?"
If I don't speak, I will understand.
I took out the wooden sculpture from my bosom, and Philip was already dwelling in it, and this wooden sculpture Philip was reshaped by me, and I could perceive it wherever it was, and I would not die and it would not die.
I put Philip into the hands of the court: "Philip is gone, I am very sad, since I was a child I have lived alone in this mountain, only Philip is with me, I know that loneliness is not pleasant. I know some of the places where I am going today, and if I am alone, if I don't dislike it, I will take Philip as a companion. β
"My mother told me not to be attached, but people live for a lifetime, isn't it precisely because of these concerns and can't let go that they have the meaning of life?"
My mother took the pilgrimage with her, not forgetting that I was left alone on the mountain, and now I don't even have Philip.
The boring life began again, but this time it wasn't boredom for long. Less than a day after my mother had taken me away, I took it from the ashram and followed, for fear of being discovered by my mother, I did not dare to follow too closely, but I could barely discern the direction of Philip and followed far behind.
The journey was long, and I had to follow my mother for the first time when I went out of the house. At first, I had a lot of thoughts, thinking about the first time my mother left me in the mountains, the first time I met Philip, and how uncomfortable it was to think of the tree I slept on last night...... Later, my mind became clear, and there was only one thought left: "If you want to live or die, if you want to save the common people or subvert the Three Realms, don't leave me behind." β
In this way, I followed my mother through almost half of the Demon Realm, and finally reached my destination, a deep canyon filled with death.
But I was still half a step late, and by the time I arrived, the canyon was no longer accessible.
I wandered around for a long time, and only found a settlement where the houses were arranged like graffiti, and there was also a magic circle here, which was my mother's handiwork, and I still couldn't go in. I looked around the circle, and the people in every house here were blessing the circle, and the circle was also constantly drawing on the power of the earth to suppress the overflowing dead air in the canyon.
I didn't know what I could do for a while.
