Chapter 183: Growth
Walking to the door of the tree house, Xia Chen remembered what Jin Ziyue was missing, and then asked, "Miss Jin, where is Xiaobai?"
After Xia Chen's reminder, Jin Ziyue also realized that her pet Xiaobai was not around, looked east, looked west, and then asked, "Yes, what about Xiaobai?"
When Withered Leaves heard them talk about Xiaobai, and thought that Fu Xiaobai, who was talking about the Confucian sect, was about to ask, Jin Ziyue suddenly pointed to the bottom of the steps and said, "This bastard, he actually ran away...... Caught a fish. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
When Xia Chen and Withered Leaves heard this, they turned around and looked in the direction of Jin Ziyue's fingers, and they saw that a tiger like a kitten with a fish the size of a person's palm in its mouth was rushing towards this side.
It turns out that this is Xiaobai?!Withered Leaf nodded in his heart in understanding.
Xia Chen looked at Xiaobai and said with a smile: "Presumably it is also hungry, and when it sees fish in Crescent Lake, it will go and catch it." ”
"Is this the Golden Maiden's spirit animal?" asked Withered Leaf.
"Let the seniors laugh. Jin Ziyue said apologetically.
"It's fine. "This is also a reflection of its lively nature." If I'm not mistaken, it should be a white tiger. ”
Still the predecessors have vision, Jin Ziyue glanced at Xia Chen, Xia Chen said that this was a cat.
She said to the withered leaves: "The predecessor is right, Xiaobai looks like a cat in his initial state, and once he flies and fights, he will return to the appearance of a tiger. ”
"This kind of spirit beast is very rare, and its cultivation will increase with age. Withered Leaves praised, "It seems that the golden girl has made a great creation." ”
Jin Ziyue smiled and said, "The seniors have won the award." ”
At this time, Xiaobai had already climbed the steps and walked in front of them.
"Let's go in and talk. Withered Leaf turned away, pushed open the door of the treehouse, and walked in.
The lights in the house have also been lit, shining the simple environment inside without falling under the lights.
Next, the three of them chatted and cooked, and they were very busy, munching on the fish it caught.
In less than half an hour, the three of them made a table of dishes.
Withered Leaves brought up three wine jars with dishes and plates: "If the cold house is not well entertained, please forgive the two of you, especially Miss Jin." ”
Jin Ziyue said politely: "Where the seniors say, the juniors have deeply felt the enthusiasm of the seniors. ”
"I wonder how much the Golden Girl drinks?" Withered Leaf patted one of the wine jars.
"As much as the seniors want to drink, the juniors will allocate as much as they want. Jin Ziyue arched her hand.
"Refreshing!" Withered Leaf pushed this jar of wine in front of Jin Ziyue, and then pushed the other one in front of Xia Chen, he had drunk with Xia Chen, and knew how much he drank, so he didn't ask him.
The rest of the jar of wine was naturally reserved for himself.
Jin Ziyue took the wine jar, and before unsealing the wine jar, she said, "The juniors also brought our wine from the Seven Star Islands, and I also invite the seniors to taste it later." ”
"Oh?" said Withered Leaf's face, as a good drinker, his resistance to wine was almost zero, "Then the old man has to taste it." ”
Jin Ziyue smiled and took out three jars of wine from the space ring, and in terms of volume, it was not as big as the wine jar with dead leaves.
Before the lid was lifted, the dead leaves and Xia Chen could already smell the aroma of wine!
Xia Chen acted as a commentator and introduced: "This wine is a specialty of their Seven Star Islands, called 'thyme', this wine has a lingering aroma and endless aftertaste, and birds and animals can smell it hundreds of miles away. ”
"Oh, it's so amazing?"
Jin Ziyue pushed a jar of wine in front of the dead leaves, and the dead leaves couldn't wait to take it and unseal it.
Suddenly, an even stronger aroma of wine wafted out and filled the room.
Taking a deep sip of the aroma of the wine, the withered leaves couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" Then he looked at Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue and asked, "Can you start?"
Jin Ziyue smiled: "Senior, you are the host, we are the guests, you say yes, you can." ”
Withered Leaf smiled "hehe" and said, "Then I'm not welcome!" Welcome the golden girl to Tianjian Mountain, welcome Xiao Chen to return safely, and the old man will do it first as a respect." ”
With that, he raised his head and took a sip.
As soon as he took the drink, the aroma hit his taste buds, and the aroma of the wine was already in his throat before the wine even went down his throat!
"Good wine!" said Withered Leaf again.
Jin Ziyue smiled proudly, and the admiration of the withered leaves was an affirmation of thyme.
In order to pay respect, Jin Ziyue picked up the wine brewed by the withered leaves and returned the withered leaves.
Although the wine with dead leaves is not as strong as the aroma of thyme, it is very mellow!
Glycol!
As soon as you enter your mouth, it is slightly spicy, but soon, it has a slightly sweet feeling, and a mellow feeling fills your mouth.
It can be said that the wine of withered leaves makes Jin Ziyue experience the feeling of being in nature!
It's a good wine!
"The wine of the predecessors is not bad!" Jin Ziyue blurted out.
The wine that Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue drank at the same time was also the wine of withered leaves, although he had drunk it once before, but this time, the feeling of drinking it was very different from the last time.
This wine is similar to the way of nature advocated by Taoism!
"Withered Leaf Senior, Junior has drunk the wine you brewed twice, why does it feel different this time?" Xia Chen asked puzzled.
"Oh, how do you feel this time?" Withered Leaf asked him curiously.
Xia Chen's eyes closed slightly, and he once again comprehended the feeling of wine: "This wine, in the midst of sweetness, is like a person in nature, although the wine is restrained, but like the experience of a cultivator, first bitter and then sweet, like fragrant tea, which is endlessly evocative! ”
Before Xia Chen opened his eyes, the withered leaves said again: "This means that you have grown." After a pause, the withered leaf stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction, "Now that you have experienced some things, your mentality is different from last time." What's more, you are no longer the Xia Cheng who didn't know anything about cultivating the true Dao when you were in Southern Xinjiang. ”
Indeed, from Xia Cheng to Xia Chen, he has grown up, and he is no longer the self who didn't know anything about cultivating the true cultivation path at the beginning.
"The wine made by the old man is a person who is not in the same state, and he will drink it with different feelings. Withered Leaf knocked on a jar of wine in front of him, "If you don't believe me, if you find a melancholy person to drink, it will have a completely different effect." ”
If the leaves are withered, Xia Chen and Jin Ziyue feel the same way, how can there be any reason not to believe it.
At this moment, several different voices came from outside the house, and the three of them looked out one after another. I was surprised to find that it was a few small animals running over.
"Sure enough!" Withered Leaf looked at the small animal outside the door and said with a smile, "Wine is as good as its name, and everything thinks about it a hundred miles away." ”
Whether it's the thyme from the Seven Star Islands or the wine made from withered leaves, they all have their own merits. The former is like spirituality, which is related to the brewing of water from the holy spring, while the latter is close to the Taoist principle, self-cultivation and cultivation, such as immortal energy.
