When the rooster crowed for the second time, Ji Feiyun drank the last sip of wine, and then climbed into bed, wanting to sleep, maybe he sat for most of the night, he thought about everything, and his heart calmed down, and he fell asleep after lying down.

He dreamed of Chenyue, Chenyue blamed him in the dream for why he hadn't gone to look for her for so long, did he look at her, Ji Feiyun wanted to argue, but he couldn't speak, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and finally shouted with all his might, but he woke up, the room was already bright, it turned out to be a dream.

But the resentful look of Chenyue in the dream was clearly imprinted in his mind, he sat up, touched his face with his hand, and thought about it, for most of the past six months, he really did not have a very strong desire to find Chenyue, and he always gave up on the grounds that he didn't know where to look, and always looked forward to that day Chenyue himself appeared in front of him again.

He was upset, got up and found the wine jug on the table, picked it up and put it to his mouth, suddenly put it back on the table, put on his clothes and went out, found the shopkeeper to get a basin of water, washed up, and waited until he was fully awake before he remembered the question just now.

When did he start to escape by drinking? Thinking of Chenyue's resentful eyes in his dream, he blamed himself deeply, sat at the table in front of the window for a while, and then got up and went out to ask the guy to get some food and send it to the room, his heart couldn't calm down, he didn't practice his skills today, he didn't practice boxing anymore, he ate the breakfast sent by the guy, and then sat in front of the window, took out the volume of "Vertical and Horizontal Secret Techniques" that Chen Yuanfu gave him and read it.

Chen Yuanfu is the most intelligent person he has known so far, his indifferent demeanor on the verge of major events, his accurate judgment of the situation in the world, and his ambition to make contributions to the cause have made Ji Feiyun admire, in his heart, he has regarded Chen Yuanfu as his teacher, and Chen Yuanfu seems to treat him as a disciple, and when he parted, he specially presented this volume of "Vertical and Horizontal Secret Techniques" to him.

When the sunlight shone into the room through the window, Ji Feiyun did not feel it, he read it without distraction, and he found that the truth expounded in the book was actually related to the truth stated in the "Nanhua Sutra", which seemed to be of the same origin and different shapes. The simple understanding is that they were born from the same ancestor and later embarked on different paths.

Ji Feiyun faintly felt that the volume of "Vertical and Horizontal Secret Techniques" given to him by Chen Yuanfu was not only a book of strategy, but also had a certain connection with cultivation, as if there was the origin of the exercises, but there was no method of cultivation.

Ji Feiyun read a few articles, and felt that he had gained a lot, although he still didn't understand many of the truths in them, but it had opened a small gap in his cognition, allowing him to see another attitude towards everything in the world.

It was already noon when he took the book back in the package, and when he saw the flask on the table, he suddenly laughed, then shook his head, and did not take the flask again. He took some silver taels, put away the package and sword, and took it out of the inn.

He made an appointment with the three people of Zizhulin Zhuangmen last night to meet today, but he didn't agree on a specific time, he didn't have anything to do now, he wanted to ask for a few dishes at the inn for lunch, and then go back to the room to continue reading, but after thinking about it, he turned his head and walked towards the bustling street of Xiangyang City.

He came to the door last night to the door of the Yunmeng Building, at this time the building was already lively, he touched the silver in his pocket, smiled and walked in, the welcome guy at the door greeted him warmly, he was dressed as a scholar, although he was not very old, but he still had a bit of elegance.

The welcoming guy said, 'Son, you are coming to Yunmenglou for the first time', Ji Feiyun replied sincerely, 'Yes', and the welcoming guy enthusiastically introduced him.

Yunmenglou is divided into wine room, chess room, flower room, wine room is a place for guests to drink and chat, feast, the guests here are more miscellaneous, all rich people can enter, Yunmenglou collects the world's fine wine, for the guests from all over the world to taste, of course, it costs quite a lot. The chess room is a place for some vassal style elegant officials and nobles, reading people to talk about pastime, Jiangzuo folk style, it is best to talk.

The welcome guest introduced the wine room and chess room, but did not introduce the flower room, Ji Feiyun was curious, so he asked what the flower room did.

The greeter glanced at him and said with a smile: "Childe is still a romantic and interesting person, this flower room is a place for guests to have fun, our Yunmenglou not only has Jiangnan girls, Central Plains beauties, and even Orchids outside the Saiwai, not only beautiful as flowers, but also have their own talents, do you want to watch it?"

Ji Feiyun suddenly understood, smiled awkwardly, and said to go to the wine room first.

The room was very lively, but not noisy. The table design of this wine room is very exquisite, and when you walk in from the door, you will see a lively scene of drinking and chatting, but when you sit down, you feel that your table has an independent space again, and it is a world of its own.

Ji Feiyun found a two-person in the middle and asked for a few Yunmenglou specialties, and when the guy asked him what kind of wine he wanted, he thought about it and asked for a pot of Qin wine from Qindi.

While waiting for the food to be served, Ji Feiyun looked around casually, and saw that most of them were gorgeously dressed dignitaries and some young princes, but there were no rough-looking high-rollers.

A young man led a maiden with a drink and food, the maiden was dressed in a green dress, behaved elegantly, methodically put the wine and food on the table, poured the wine and filled it, said 'Childe use it slowly', and then stood aside.

Ji Feiyun glanced at it a few more times, the bartender girl smiled sweetly at him, Ji Feiyun also smiled, and then took the wine glass and drank it all, the wine entered his throat, like a fire dragon down the esophagus, Ji Feiyun was the first time to drink such a strong wine, and it took a while to get used to it.

When he put down the wine glass, the barmaid came over to pour the wine again, Ji Feiyun came here to hear the news, a girl stood next to him and felt uncomfortable, and when the girl poured the wine, he smiled and said to her: "I can come by myself, you don't have to serve here." ”

The bartender girl smiled sweetly and replied, "Yes." Then he turned and walked away.

Ji Feiyun drank himself, while paying attention to the conversations of the people in the wine room, many people were talking about the Cui family's birthday banquet tomorrow, the Cui family, as the largest wealthy family in the Jingxiang area, is also the actual ruler in the Jingxiang area, and everyone is very concerned about the 60th birthday of the head of the Cui family.

Ji Feiyun noticed that in addition to talking about the Cui family's birthday banquet, there were also people whispering about the recent haunting of villages outside Xiangyang City.

Some people even say that those powerful ghosts are from the Valley of the Desperate Soul ten miles outside the city, where it was the place where the soldiers surrendered before the pit were killed, and they all said that the soldiers were killed by innocent pits, and they were angry after death, and they all became terrible ghosts, and now they are here to collect debts.

Ji Feiyun personally experienced it last night, and knew the reason, those zombies were manipulated behind people's backs, and it was not a powerful ghost to collect debts, but this incident happened to be during the sixtieth birthday of the head of the Cui family, and the intention of that person or the strength behind that person was worth playing.

Ji Feiyun didn't know the reason for this, and it was not easy to imagine it out of thin air, but he was a little worried about whether he would be retaliated against for the good things he had done to that person last night, but he was only occasionally worried.

While he was pondering, a person suddenly appeared in front of him, a young man, gorgeously dressed, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and the folding fan was painted with a picture of begonia spring sleep, a romantic and elegant style.

The boy arched his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Tai drinks alone, don't you feel lonely?

If it was a year ago, Ji Feiyun would definitely be red and didn't know what to say, since he had been a buddy in the Luofeng Tavern for a few months, he had more dealings with guests, and he was a guard for Liu Yuanhai in the Northern Governor's Mansion, and he met people with status, so his horizons were widened, and he knew a lot about the etiquette of treating people.

He smiled slightly, stood up and saluted back, and said, "If Brother Tai doesn't dislike it, please take a seat." ”

He was worried that no one was talking, and suddenly someone came to a table with him, regardless of his identity.

That boy sat down calmly, and his demeanor was quite generous, judging by his age, he was a few years older than Ji Feiyun.

After the boy sat down, he said with a smile: "Dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?"

Ji Feiyun smiled and said, "My name is Ji Feiyun, you can just call me Feiyun." ”

The boy laughed and said, "The little brother is a cheerful person, okay! ”

At this time, a barmaid came over and added a pair of dishes and chopsticks, poured wine for Shang Ziluo, and then stood aside.

Shang Ziluo picked up his wine glass and said, "Feiyun, let's meet for the first time, come, have a drink first." ”

"Good. Ji Feiyun also picked up the wine glass and touched it, and then drank it all.

"Feiyun, seeing that you are not very old, and you don't look like a local in your speech and image, what are you doing in Xiangyang?" Shang Ziluo asked.

"I'm from Liangzhou, I'm idle, and I've traveled everywhere. Ji Feiyun said with a smile.

"No wonder you look at Feiyun, you have an extraordinary bearing, you let go of your shackles and travel the world freely, that is also a great joy in life!" Shang Ziluo said with emotion.

Ji Feiyun smiled slightly and asked, "Brother Shang, what are you sitting in Xiangyang?"

"I'm a businessman, I usually like to meet friends all over the world, this Jingxiang land has been a place of outstanding people since ancient times, I came here to do business, and I also want to meet some people of insight, of course, there is one more thing, you should have heard, that is, the 60th birthday of the head of the Cui family. Shang Ziluo said.

Ji Feiyun didn't expect to know a person who came to the Cui family to celebrate his birthday here, seeing that this Shangziluo has an aristocratic atmosphere and a demeanor, he shouldn't be a bad person.

He said with a smile: "Dissatisfied with Brother Shang, I also heard that this Cui family is a wealthy family in Jingxiang, this time the head of the Cui family will celebrate his 60th birthday, and he must be very lively, so he came over to join in the fun." ”

Shang Ziluo didn't look white and clean, he looked like a son, but he was really bold when he drank wine, and after a while, he had already invited Ji Feiyun to drink six cups, and the pot that Ji Feiyun called before had been drunk, and he called another pot.

Shang Ziluo talked about Jingxiang's humanities and landscapes while drinking, and talked about the talents and heroes in the past, the breadth of knowledge, and the elegance of conversation, which made Ji Feiyun feel impressed, there are such characters, I am fortunate to get acquainted today, and it is in vain to come to this Yunmenglou.

Ji Feiyun also talked about the customs and customs of the north, mixed with some allusions and judgments about the general trend of the world from Chen Yuanfu, and he also talked about the Tao, which made Shang Ziluo's eyes also brighten.

They talked a lot and drank a lot, and this time they drank until dark, and they both drank a total of six pots of wine, and both of them drank a little too big on their tongues.

In the end, Shangzi Luo pulled Ji Feiyun, left the wine room, and under the leadership of a wine maid, he walked towards the flower room, and said that he came to this Yunmenglou for a trip, one is to taste the world's fine wine, and the other is to watch the Oiran of this Yunmenglou, which is worth the trip.

Ji Feiyun was dragged by Shang Ziluo, drank some more wine, and when the wine came up, he followed Shang Ziluo towards the flower room.
