Chapter 247: Wine Between Flowers
Yan Yue knew that he couldn't win, and he was worried that Elder Huang would be hindered by the identity of the Dragon Gongzi and not exert all his strength, and then both parties would release water, and the result would be embarrassing.
Seeing Elder Huang's high morale, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I just want to fight fairly with the master, and I ask the master not to keep any hands." ”
The two sides of the competition need to salute each other, Yan Yue and Elder Huang saluted, and then hugged their fists to Ji Rou, "I am fortunate to compete with the girl on the same stage, and I also ask the girl to give me advice." ”
Seeing that this high-ranking son was like a dragon, she had no arrogance, and hurriedly replied: "Childe is polite, it is an honor for a little woman to be able to compete with Childe." ”
"Then it's time to fight yourself!"
With an indifferent mood, Yan Yue supported his Songfeng Building to ascend to the first throne of the wine refining conference.
There are rules for the wine refining conference, and only one restaurant with the same owner can be registered.
Otherwise, all the branches of those time-honored restaurants will come to the competition, and others will not have to compare at all.
In previous wine refining conferences, there was no precedent for two restaurants with the same owner to participate in the competition at the same time, and no two restaurants all made it to the finals.
The rules are different for each round of the conference.
The rules of the finals are not as complicated as the previous rounds, and there is only one rule, that is, to compare the strongest strength, the materials brought by the two parties themselves, play freely, and refine the highest level of spirit wine.
If the material is insufficient, the General Assembly may also provide it.
Yan Yue and Elder Huang may not have thought that they would be able to reach the finals before, but they still have to do preparations.
They each came to the test venue and took out the materials they had prepared earlier.
After the host announced the start of the competition, Elder Huang looked at the various elixirs carefully prepared, and sighed in his heart, "Even if you fight with all your strength, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat the superb wine master like the dragon child......
Knowing that half of his glory is only given by others, he wants to prove here that he is not in vain!
Take a deep breath, close your eyes, your mind empty, and your mind drifts back to the past.
The host announced the start of the competition, and Master Huang, the master of Songfeng Building, suddenly closed his eyes and did not make any movement, because he did not move, and his deputy Ji Rou also looked at him with a trace of confusion on the side.
And the young man on the opposite side, such as Longzi, also closed his eyes and meditated after Master Huang closed his eyes.
Everyone turned their heads to each other and talked about it.
"Silence!" Tong Yuzun's voice drowned out all the chatter.
Elder Jiu Chuanyin guessed, "Looking at the state of these two people, once they retract their thoughts, it will be a battle between dragons and tigers." ”
The Qianyuan City Lord also felt that things were a little wrong, and cast an inquiring glance at the thoughtless Daoist.
The thoughtless Taoist nodded, although he said euphemistically to his virtuous brother Rulong Gongzi that the battle could not be won in the end, but Rulong Gongzi was only a teenager after all, if he had a rebellious heart, then the matter would be messed up.
But now there is a ban outside the refining ground, and the thoughtless Taoist can't send a message to remind him, and he is anxious, but he can't think about it.
Elder Huang thought back to the past, and the life experience of more than 180 years old kept flashing in his mind.
In the first forty years, he was just a member of a small Xiuzhen family in Nanshan, because of his extraordinary talent, he was valued by his elders, and coupled with his own diligent practice, at the age of forty, he reached the foundation building.
Such an achievement, which may not be much compared to the most outstanding of the proud, is still better than most of its peers.
After entering the foundation building, he was accepted as a disciple by the Nanshan faction, and since then he has been obsessed with drinking and has become an ordinary disciple of the Qingfeng Taoist.
If you can win the competition at the age of fifty, you can get the true inheritance of Aomine Taoist.
But Qin Guangyuan, who has always regarded him as a thorn in his side, won despicably and won despicably, and the high-level leaders of the Nanshan faction found out afterwards and did not pursue it.
Elder Huang was disheartened and left Nanshan, this time it would be a hundred years.
In the past 100 years, I have traveled the world and experienced various identities, but I can no longer find the best time in my memory, sitting in front of the Master, listening to the Master's teachings.
A hundred years later, the Qingfeng Daoist who has always been respected has long since passed away, and the family he came from, whether it is the elder or the junior in his memory, is no longer there.
A strong sense of loneliness that only cultivators can experience has haunted him for the next thirty years.
At the age of 180, this loneliness reached its extreme.
It wasn't until he came to Qianyuan City and received two talented apprentices that he felt that he had something to rely on.
The good times didn't last long, not to mention that the mysterious second disciple left him for some reason, and the Nanming Alliance, which he had been serving, also removed him, and this life seemed to be spent in being driven out and excluded.
In his later years, he could only drink alone among the flowers, and he did not have any relatives by his side.
His thoughts finally froze on the lonely figure in the flowers of the Songfeng Building, and gradually opened his eyes.
Seeing that Elder Huang had not moved since the start of the competition, Ji Rou couldn't help but feel anxious, and didn't dare to disturb Elder Huang, so she could only wait on the sidelines.
Seeing that Elder Huang was sober, Xi Rou was overjoyed, and suddenly from Elder Huang, she seemed to find an indescribable meaning, and she was pleasantly surprised, "At the critical moment of the finals, Master has entered the state of epiphany that the junior brother often says!"
"How to lose, it's also a technical job......" Yan Yue, who closed his eyes and meditated, sighed in his heart.
His final result is definitely a loss, but the scene still has to go.
If it is pretended to be a refining failure, it will fall to the inferior, and a discerning person can see at a glance that the organizer of the conference will not be able to get over it at that time.
Yan Yue disdains to do this kind of thing, but the way inside is relatively clear.
Therefore, it depends on how well Elder Huang's wine is refined, and then determines the quality of his spirit wine.
If you want to fight like a dragon and a tiger, and then let their natives win, their faces will shine.
From time to time, he secretly observed Elder Huang, and suddenly saw that he began to move.
Seeing him in that state, his body shook, "This is ......"
Everyone saw the two people who closed their eyes and meditated, and they began to move one after another, and they both entered a state of incomprehension and wonder.
The wine elders were slightly shocked when they saw this, "This is the state of selflessness that only has when a famous teacher is refining wine, similar to an epiphany, but it is impossible to meet, and the two of them actually entered one after another." ”
"The one in Songfeng Tower is really entering, like a dragon, it's just a shape, a bit deliberate. ”
The layman couldn't see the doorway, but saw the two of them change their temperaments, and they gestured with a grandmaster demeanor.
Just as he was startling, he suddenly felt a chill hit.
Today's weather is hot, and although there are cooling things in the main hall, cultivators can also resist a certain amount of heat, but there are too many people in the main hall, and the qi refining cultivators still feel unbearable heat.
Suddenly, I felt the coolness coming, and I felt refreshed physically and mentally.
There seem to be two streams of coolness, one only floats on the surface and acts on the skin, and the other points directly to the heart.
And the place where the two chills hit is the wine refining site in the field.
Everyone exclaimed, "There is a cold air when refining wine?"
The meaning of coolness, as Yan Yue and Elder Huang refined the wine, accompanied by bursts of wine fragrance began to emanate, filling the entire hall.
The wine tasters were even more surprised than the audience, they were not only surprised by the coolness of the spirit wine, but also the special artistic conception exuded by one of the spirit wines.
They couldn't sit still any longer, so they got up one after another and gathered around the edge of the test field.
In the midst of everyone's shock, Yan Yue and Elder Huang finished refining the spirit wine one after another.
The wine tasters hurriedly rushed into the room, gathered around Elder Huang, and stared directly at the spirit wine he had refined.
"This wine actually contains the meaning of wine!"
The meaning of wine means that the spirit wine master enters a special artistic conception in the process of refining wine, so that the refined spirit wine contains this kind of artistic conception.
The spirit wine that contains the meaning of wine is not something that any spirit wine master can refine if he wants to.
In previous wine refining conferences, participants may often refine a refreshing new type of spirit wine, but it takes almost hundreds of years for the spirit wine to appear once at the wine refining conference.
Every time it appears, it is a sensation and becomes a must-have.
And the spirit wine refined by Elder Huang actually contained a kind of wine intent.
The wine connoisseurs have long been disregarded, and they are scrambling to pour and taste the wine.
Tong Yuzun was the first to grab the spirit wine, and the spirit wine entered his stomach, and a lonely and cold intention was immediately stimulated, pointing directly to his heart.
Tong Yuzun has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and his heart has long been undisturbed, and in his life, there is nothing else except wine.
As the wine was stimulated, the already dusty mood came to my heart.
He has excellent qualifications and understanding, and he was also a very dazzling leader when he was young.
His Taoist qualifications are also good, and after both of them entered the foundation building, the two of them vowed again that they would both succeed in marrying the Dan, and then become Yuanying monks standing at the top of the continent together.
But it backfired, among the two, he was the only one who succeeded in marrying Dan, and his Taoist companion used up his two hundred years of life, and the fragrance disappeared.
With Tong Yuzun's current means, if he goes back in time, he will definitely be able to help the Taoist couple, but it is impossible to go back in time, and he often borrows wine to kill his sorrows whenever he thinks of the Taoist couple.
For nearly a hundred years, this memory has long been sealed in the dust, but at this time, it was aroused by the sense of alcohol, and when it came, a strong sense of loneliness surged up.
The city lord of Qianyuan was the second to grab the spirit wine, and the spirit wine entered his stomach, just like Tong Yuzun, affected by the lonely wine, the dusty past came to mind.
He was born in an ordinary mountain village, his grandfather had three sons and three daughters, and his father was the last in line, and when he was seven years old, his grandfather was already old and bedridden.
There are many children, and the responsibility of taking care of the elderly is also shirked to each other.
The appearance of his grandfather lying in bed sickly and helpless was deeply engraved in the heart of the young Qianyuan City Lord.
At that time, he vowed that when he was old, he didn't want to be like his grandfather, and wanted to be healthy at his grandfather's age, or even survive that age, and then live, and Xiuzhen could help him do it.
After the eight-year-old enlightenment, there were extraordinary qualifications that could help him realize his wishes, and in order to achieve that goal, and later in order to sit in the position of Qianyuan City Lord, he gave up a lot.
At this point in cultivation, he is already a high-ranking power, a hegemon, and has achieved that goal that may have been forgotten for a long time.
It's just that there is no one relatives or friends around me.
Yes, it's just all kinds of people who are afraid of him, and a deep loneliness in the bottom of their hearts.
Although the thoughtless Taoist is not a wine taster, he is a cultivator, and if he wants to taste a glass of spiritual wine, no one will stop him.
In his early years, he had a close brother, and the two of them heard the story of the cultivator when they were young, and they shared an unrealistic ambition.
In the future, if they are able to cultivate the truth, they will not only become immortals flying around in the sky, but also immortal and become real immortals.
After the two of them were enlightened, their qualifications were extraordinary, and they embarked on the path of cultivation together.
In an adventure, a chance is placed in front of the two, and the thoughtless man wants to share it equally with his brother, but his dear brother suddenly turns against him and wants to swallow the opportunity alone.
Although the thoughtless people don't want to kill each other, in order to survive, they have to fight for life and death.
He won that battle, but this matter has become a knot in his life that will never be untied.
For the sake of a little bit of cultivation, after decades of suffering, do you also have to kill each other?
This knot has always been difficult to dissolve, and has been buried deep in his heart, at this time, thinking of the dusty past more than a hundred years ago, a strong sense of loneliness surged, "I knew that the road to cultivation was so difficult, what did it matter if the opportunity was given to you back then......"
When Elder Huang was refining the spirit wine, he was in a lonely and cold artistic conception, and the lonely wine in the wine made everyone who tasted the wine think back to the past.
"It's been hundreds of years since I cultivated, and those relatives and friends back then are no longer there, so things are not people......
These monks who can have today's cultivation are all talented people, and their lives, on the whole, have been smooth.
But each of them, deep in their hearts, has the same mental barrier, that is, loneliness.
Cultivators, longevity, close relatives pass away, white-haired people send black-haired people often happen, monks pay attention to patience and quiet, only endure loneliness, bear loneliness, the path of cultivation, in order to go further.
They have not yet reached the state of forgetting the mortal and breaking the dust, and can only bury their loneliness deep in their hearts.
At this time, this loneliness was stimulated by Elder Huang's drunken spirit.
"The goal has already been achieved, and we are still working hard day and night in pursuit ......of a higher realm, what is it for?"
The loneliness hit, and everyone became depressed one by one and fell into reflection.
A monk suddenly sighed, "Under the guidance of Master Huang, I have already realized that from now on, I will retire to the mountains and forests and do not ask about mundane things." He turned his head again and hugged his fist at the fellow Daoists, "Fellow Daoists, farewell." As he spoke, he walked away in style.
"Perhaps, I should also hide in the city like Tianqingzi's predecessors, have children, and enjoy life...... "A monk sighed, and also left with the former.
The city lord of Qianyuan suddenly shouted, "Two fellow Daoists, slow down!"
As they were leaving, the two were drunk by him and stopped.
The Qianyuan City Lord looked at Elder Huang and sighed, "Your spirit wine can hurt me!"
Tong Yuzun walked to Elder Huang's side, "Daoist friends are wrong in what they say, wine is refined by others, but whether to drink it or not is our own choice, how can we blame this crime on the person who refines wine." ”
He turned his head to Elder Huang and said, "Master Huang, what is the name of this wine?"
Elder Huang saw that some of the people sighed for a long time, and some of them showed resentment, so he was terrified, and hurriedly said: "The younger generation does not dare, return to Yuzun, a pot of wine among the flowers, drink alone without a blind date, this wine is called Huajian wine, the wine is refined by the juniors, if it affects the seniors, the juniors are willing to receive punishment." ”
Wine contains the spirit of wine, which is very rare, but the spirit of wine is not necessarily beneficial to cultivation.
If you are drunk and incense, it is an artistic conception of lovesickness, which is not helpful for cultivation, and can only make lovers become dependents.
Homesick spirit wine, such as Dongli wine and drunken hometown, can make monks forget their troubles and get rid of their inner demons, which is extremely helpful to cultivation.
And the wine between the flowers that Elder Huang was refining at this time was a lonely wine, and the loneliness buried deep in his heart was brought up, which had a great impact on the monk's previous firm Dao heart, and if he drank too much, he would even turn into a demon, which was extremely dangerous.
Just like the two of them just now, their Dao heart is not strong, and they have to give up even cultivating.
But the fact is just as Tong Yuzun said, the wine is indeed refined by others, but whether to drink it or not is chosen by everyone themselves.
Everyone didn't say anything, and after sighing, they wanted to return to their seats, only then did they think that there was a spirit wine like a dragon boy, and there was no evaluation.
Everyone saw that the spirit wine refined by the dragon master, with a coldness, the cold air kept coming out of the wine, and they were curious to ask what kind of spirit wine this was.
Yan Yue said: "This wine is called Qingshuang Wine, the younger generation saw that the weather was hot, and specially added cold things, and the little trick was in front of Master Huang's wine and spirit wine, which was really ugly." ”
After everyone tasted it, they found that the quality of the spirit wine was third-order and high-grade, and the specific grade was as high as the first and second grades, although it was not as good as the first-grade wine refined by the genius boy before, but it was also very high-quality.
And the taste of wine is unique, drinking the spirit wine into the stomach, it is as refreshing as drinking ice water, the feeling of coolness spreads from the inside out, and the whole person's spirit is uplifted.
The effect of the spirit wine is also extraordinary, and the feeling of coolness in the mouth does not go away for a long time, and during this period, the spiritual energy around the body continues to come in a steady stream, and the effect of the third-order spirit wine is also of great help to them who are cultivating the Dan.
After everyone tasted it, they were all amazed.
Yan Yue had previously discovered that the state that Elder Huang had entered was the special artistic conception of refining wine spirit wine that he had entered at that time.
Knowing that Elder Huang would refine the Wine Spirit Wine again, and thinking of fighting a battle between dragons and tigers, he refined this carefully prepared Green Frost Wine.
This wine has excellent efficacy and taste, but it is certainly inferior to the wine.
But now, the drunken intent in the spirit wine refined by Elder Huang had an impact on the Jiedan monks, and the results of the judgment would naturally be affected by their mood.
At the moment, he thought that he was not as good as saying: "Master Huang has refined the spirit wine many times, and he has been convinced of Master Huang's wine art in the next, and this competition is a loss." ”
"Don't be modest. The wine tasters hurriedly said.
After all, who wins and loses in the competition is not up to the contestants themselves, but the wine tasters have to discuss and decide.
When Elder Huang was refining wine, Ji Rou barely helped, and just stood on the spot, and at this time, he was even squeezed out of the side by Zhong Jiedan.
Came to the seat of Songfeng Building at the edge of the venue, looked at the appearance of everyone's discussion, and asked Ji Rong on the side: "Dad, why does the master refine the spirit of wine, who loses and who wins still needs to be discussed, is the lonely wine really as bad as they say?"
Ji Rong shook his head and said, "Silly daughter, how can the blockage be dredged effectively, if you keep holding back your bad mood, you will have to suffocate sooner or later." ”
