Chapter 178: The Past Decades Ago

Now the five of them are in the inner room, and the topic is more abundant.

"Two little friends, can the food be cooked to the taste?"

For eating, Ji Kai has always been a comer. Such a sumptuous reception, Dakai's heart was already bubbling with beauty, chewing a large piece of tender boiled deer strips in his mouth, and replied vaguely:

"Brother Huo, I'll tell you the truth, this is the most high-grade meal I've ever had since I was a child!"

Huo Changmen was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Dakai Xiaoyou, your evaluation is very high! I don't care about anything else here, good wine and good food must be full, don't worry, eat slowly." ”

Ji Kai probably felt that he was a little too wolfing, nodded his head, and slowed down his pace a little.

Huo Changmen raised his glass and invited everyone to take a sip of wine together, and asked with a smile: "This wine is made from black grapes produced in Ginkgo Valley, how do the two little friends feel about the taste?"

Ji Kaiqi said: "Brother Huo, the wine we drink is made by ourselves?"

Huo Changmen nodded yes, Ji Kai looked at the color of the wine in the glass, and asked again: "Black grapes, you said that they are made from black grapes, but why is this wine not dark, but light red?"

Huo Changmen said with a smile: "Dakai Xiaoyou, who said that the wine made from black grapes can't be light red? Soy sauce wine is a big industry of our Huo family, I still understand, I might as well give everyone a few words, it can also be regarded as helping the wine." ”

Huo Changmen gently put down the goblet and said, "This color can be called light red. But to put it more standardly, it should be called 'pink'. ”

Ji Kai silently repeated: "Pink ......"

Huo Changmen continued: "The black grapes produced in our valley, because of geographical and climatic reasons, are far better than the red grapes and white grapes outside, which is especially conducive to people's gastrointestinal health and can relieve people's mental fatigue. Dakai Xiaoyou, you said this is light red, I'll talk about it according to the color. In terms of color, wine can be divided into white wine, red wine, and 'rosΓ© wine', which is the kind we drink now. ”

"White wine is made by fermenting white grapes or grapes with red skin and white flesh. I used to drink this wine when I was young, the color of the wine is slightly yellow or green, and it is easy to have sweet and sour tastes, but now that I am older, I don't like it. ”

"Red wine is made by mixing grapes with red skin and white flesh or red skin and flesh by mixing grape skins and juice, and most of the wines are deep ruby red, which is very showy. RosΓ© wine is made by fermenting red grapes with colored red grapes with skins, and the wine is pale red, rosΓ©, or occasionally orange or rosΓ© red, and it tastes good......"

Huo Changmen said, took a sip again, and said with a smile: "The flavor is very fresh and obviously fruity, this is what I like the most." ”

Ji Longjun and Ji Kai looked at each other, picked up the wine glass and tasted it, but they didn't find any "obvious fruity aroma".

Huo Changmen laughed and said:

"You can't drink like this, two little friends, you have to let it stay in your mouth for a while. If you are a veteran of wine, you will often be able to taste the wine in the glass before you eat it, and you will already be able to appreciate the aroma of the wine. At this time, swallow another sip of wine, let the wine stay in the mouth for a while, roll on the tongue twice, that is really refreshing, and finally swallow it all, a faint fragrance immediately lingers in it. If you deliberately taste the wine, you have to taste it according to the principle of new first, old first, light first and strong last, but you can't go wrong in order. ”

"Oh, it's so complicated......"

Ji Longjun and the others naturally only had to listen, and they couldn't say a word.

Not only the two of them, although Luo Ji and Ma Biao know a little about wine tasting, they definitely don't know as much as Huo Changmen.

"The so-called 'if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools', and when you taste wine, you naturally need to have a good wine vessel. Two little friends, what do you think of my little goblet?" Huo Changmen asked with a smile.

"Very good, very beautiful......" Ji Longjun can only comment like this, and he won't say any fancy words.

"Well, it's beautiful. This wine was originally peach-colored, but in the wine glass made of black jade, it was really red and green, red like blood, and beautiful. You see, this wine glass is dark green, made of the finest black jade, and it is verdant, even in the hot summer, it makes people feel cold. Legend has it that when the wine is placed in a glass and placed in the moonlight, it will sparkle in the glass, hence the name 'Luminous Wine Cup'. ”

Ji Kai raised his wine glass and looked at the moonlight outside the window, although the wine was quite gorgeous in the glass, there was no so-called "night light".

Huo Changmen laughed heartily again, and raised his glass to invite everyone to drink it all.

If it is placed in an ordinary place, someone who talks and shows off like this at the dinner table will definitely arouse great disgust from the people at the same table.

But when the words came out of Huo Changmen's mouth, instead of making people uncomfortable, they could give birth to a heroic and free feeling out of thin air, as if eating this meal requires such a hearty chat to have fun.

Huo Changmen was in a very good mood, and he borrowed the topic of wine tasting to persuade everyone to drink a few more glasses, and after the wine was in full swing and the atmosphere became more lively, he gradually led the topic to the practice of martial arts.

"Longjun Xiaoyou, Xinggu is located in the southernmost part of the southern boundary of Qishan, and has always been closed to ourselves, do you know how we have a relationship with Bairimen?" Huo Changmen asked with a smile.

"Brother Huo, I really don't know this, the southern boundary of Qishan is so big, in fact, there are not many places I've been to. Brother Huo, could it be that you specially invited seniors from Bairimen to teach?" Ji Longjun said.

"No, the White Sun Gate has always had very strict door rules, and it is categorically not to say that you can invite it. Moreover, those who are qualified to accept apprentices and teach arts, their status must be the master of a hall, or a figure above the elder, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to accept apprentices even if their kung fu is high. ”

Ji Longjun thought of the vast immortal elder, and couldn't help but nod.

"Brother Huo, what do you mean, is it the immortal art that you once learned from a big man in the White Sun Gate?"

"Not bad. It's a long story, but it's legendary. The connection between Apricot Valley and White Sun Gate comes from an unsolved case decades ago, which many people know, and it is not a secret. However, it is true that few people know the secret details inside, and only those of us who have experienced it know firsthand. ”

Huo Changmen looked at the blood-red liquid in the wine glass, and said in a deep voice:

"Two little friends, we have a good fate, and the two of you will be guests in Luming Village for a long time in the next two months, I really have a lot of expectations for the two of you. Since you are going to enter the White Sun Gate to practice in the future, I might as well tell you some of the ties between Xinggu and the White Sun Gate, maybe it will be helpful to you in the future. ”

Ji Longjun and Ji Kai looked solemn, hurriedly put down their chopsticks, and listened carefully to Huo Changmen's speech.

It all started decades ago.

At that time, Huo Changmen, Luo Ji and others were all children about ten years old, and the leader of Ginkgo Valley was Huo Changmen's father, Huo Binhu.

One day, an old man riding a gray horse appeared outside the Ginkgo Valley.

The old man's hair and beard were gray, and his body was very thin and thin, but he was dressed very decently and solemnly.

He seemed to hesitate, and hesitated for a long time at the foot of the two huge cliffs in the valley, hesitating whether to enter the valley.

The old man's surname is Ding, his identity is special, he has been chased by a group of mysterious killers for a long time, and he finally hides here, but he is quite uneasy.

The killers were brutal, and he feared that they would affect many innocent people here.

The town is partly built in the middle of two high mountains, and a large part of the town naturally extends into the valley on the back side of the mountain, which seems to be more prosperous.

There is a stone plaque at the head of the city, on which the three big characters of "Ginkgo Village" are written in ancient characters.

"It's a city, why is it called a 'village'?"

Old man Ding shook his head and rode into the city on a gray horse.

He was wounded, he couldn't escape, and he urgently needed to rest and heal.

Although he was worried about bringing disaster here, he had no choice, so the old man first purchased some healing herbs after entering the city, and then chose a remote inn to stay in.

After entering the room, Old Man Ding sat cross-legged on the bed and gently unbuttoned his shirt.

There was a dark red palm print on his thin chest, the palm print was very clear, but it didn't look like an adult's left.

"Hmm......"

Old man Ding couldn't help but shed a trace of cold sweat, as if he was involved somewhere, and his body was quite uncomfortable.

"Damn, I didn't expect that young man to be so powerful with one palm, who is he, what kind of force do these people belong to, why do they want to attack me?"

The old man thought about it, but he had no clue at all, so he had to give up.

He gently closed his eyes and silently used the immortal skill to heal himself.

Near the afternoon, a group of warriors came from outside the city of Ginkgo Village.

These people are all riding tall horses, dressed in black clothes and black pants, and they are quite powerful.

The first person carefully looked at the small city in front of him, turned back and asked:

"Big monkey, is the news accurate?, did Old Man Ding enter this city?" asked the leader-looking man.

"Third brother, you can't be wrong! Old man Ding has been chased by us for so many days, and he has escaped every time. There is only this town within a radius of 100 miles, and if Old Man Ding wants to heal his wounds, he must choose a place where he has food to eat, herbs to sell, and a shop to live in, he will either hide in this place, or he will have to wait for death in the wilderness!"

The third brother glanced at the big monkey and nodded silently.

"That's right, Old Man Ding has been chased by us for so many days, and he has never had a chance to heal his injuries well, but I'm afraid that his injuries will be more serious now. The brothers cheered me up, and everyone went to various pharmacies and inns to inquire, and once they found out the news, they immediately reported to me, and don't do it without permission! That old man is not easy to do even if he is seriously injured. ”

"Yes, Third Brother!"

More than 20 warriors responded in unison, and the momentum was quite strong.

The third brother waved his hand, and everyone formed a team in twos, rode into the city and disappeared into the sea of people.

The third brother took two vigorous warriors into the city and walked around the city.

"Big monkey, the second prince said that after Old Man Ding was slapped, as long as we forced him to get rest, even if we didn't kill him, he wouldn't live long. We can't drag it out, we have to keep holding on to him, so that he can't rest and heal. ”

The big monkey hurriedly said: "Yes, third brother, he was slapped by the second son, let's chase him all the way, I didn't expect this old man to really escape, from the north all the way to the south, and it's strange that he hasn't died yet." ”

"After all, he is a master of fame, and his strength is not weak. ”
