Chapter 178: For Whom the Bell Rings
Jun Ci stared at the glossy and plump grains of rice on the plate. I secretly said in my heart, although this fresh thing is finely made, but the amount is too small, and it is not enough to stuff my teeth.
couldn't bear to live up to Sun Shaotang's kindness, Junci carefully picked up the crystal clear rice grains, for fear that he would accidentally crush it.
The grains of rice melted in his mouth, and Jun Ci only felt that his mouth was full of relish, and a rich umami flavor like fine wine filled every corner of his mouth, strongly stimulating his taste buds.
"What is this?" Junci never expected that such a pure taste could be contained in this small particle.
"This dish is a fresh food, which is made by stir-frying the golden pomfret, the first of the river fresh, with a wisp of essence behind its skull and hundreds of auxiliary ingredients in a pot. Sun Shaotang is obviously a qualified commentator, and he can clearly explain the production method of Yipinxian in just a few words.
"Then how many golden pomfret are used for this dish?" Jun Ci was speechless when he heard this.
Sun Shaotang touched his chin and thought for a while, and replied with some incertainty: "I want to get a thousand eight hundred." ”
Jun Ci no longer spoke, and could only sigh that the cultivation realm was no different from the mortal world, only if you were powerful, you could enjoy things that ordinary people would not dare to hope for in their lifetime.
The two chatted while eating, and it didn't take long for the girl in Tsing Yi to go and return, with an extra pot of "A Dream for a Thousand Years" and a treasure covered with silverware in her hand.
The girl in Tsing Yi skillfully poured a glass of golden aged wine for each of them, and after giving a salute with a smile, she left the room understandingly.
"I wish my eldest brother a great fight in the fight to the death tonight. Sun Shaotang picked up his wine glass and said loudly.
"Lend you good words. Junci raised his wine glass and touched it with Sun Shaotang, and drank all the wine in the cup.
The golden yellow liquor is very thick and mellow, and as soon as it enters the throat, it turns into a warm stream of heat, which rushes straight to the lungs.
Before anyone could come back to his senses, the volatile wine had silently penetrated into the blood veins, and with the pumping of the heart, it was unhurriedly moving between the veins of the limbs.
In the end, after a few weeks of running all over the body, these hot currents actually rushed to the Baihui acupoint of the spiritual platform.
Like a storm crashing on the shore, the spiritual power that a trace of heat turned into continued to impact Junci's divine sense. In the end, he accumulated a lot of money, and suddenly blasted Junci's soul out of the body.
In an instant, the out-of-body Junci took in the entire Phoenix City. Outside the ancient city walls, a traveler is staggering through the rolling yellow sand with a cane. At the corner of the street, four or five porters after a busy day were squatting and chatting in a roadside liquor store. Beside a stone arch bridge, a toddler pesters a woman and stares at the candy gourd seller who refuses to leave. A kind of white cloud dog, a sense of vicissitudes of 10,000 years suddenly came to my heart.
"It's a dream for a thousand years. Jun Ci sighed with a complicated expression, and raised the wine glass in his hand and refused to put it down.
This wine seems to be full of stamina, and after a cup of belly, Sun Shaotang's cheeks are already slightly red, and his tongue is a little knotted: "I have been congenitally deficient since I was a child, and I am frail and sickly. If it weren't for my father's life to give me a solid foundation Peiyuan, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. When I was a child, what I envied the most was the appearance of those senior brothers from the Shennong Department who were surrounded by everyone when they finally returned with a full load after traveling abroad. Every time I hear them talk about their ups and downs, I always get hooked. At that time, my greatest wish was to hope that one day I could ride the wind and travel all over the land of Kyushu, and when I saw injustices on the road, I would swing my sword and cut it!"
The drunken Sun Shaotang seemed to fall into a long memory: "But nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, although I have taken countless elixirs, but limited to qualifications, I have cultivated for more than 20 years, and in the end I have only cultivated a half-baked Dan period." When I plucked up the courage to propose that I wanted to go out to travel, no one in the entire Baicaomen agreed. ”
"Gradually, I also gave up that thought, and played the role of the young hall master in peace... Until that day, when I saw you from the Ocean Continent fighting with the pig demon in the Colosseum, it once again tugged at my long-dormant heartstrings. I don't know why, but when I saw you finally stand up and wave to the audience, causing thousands of people to cheer, it was like a fire burning in my heart. Sun Shaotang smiled stupidly.
Jun Ci was silent, he finally understood why Sun Shaotang was so eager to make friends with him, maybe for him, he was the dream he couldn't fulfill when he was young.
"Since you and I are already brothers, we should share weal and woe. One day, I will take you to the moon for nine days, catch turtles in the five oceans, and let your name Sun Shaotang resound throughout the land of Kyushu. It seems that he is drunk, and Junci, who is usually very low-key, suddenly said a big thing in a bold manner.
When Sun Shaotang heard this, his excited eyes turned red, he stretched out his sleeve to wipe the tears that were about to fall, and silently refilled a glass of 'A Dream for a Thousand Years' for Junci, and then raised his wine glass, and the two drank it all without saying a word.
Who would have thought that thousands of years later, Junci's drunken joke would become a proverb. The name of Sun Shaotang, the holy doctor of the Heavenly Doctor, resounded throughout the land of Kyushu, like thunder.
After three rounds of drinking, the two of them, who were just chatting and drinking, finally remembered the plate of delicacies served with 'A Dream for a Thousand Years'.
Sun Shaotang casually opened the soup cover made of silverware, and when he saw the dish that was forgotten by the two, he couldn't help but smile.
Jun Ci saw that Sun Shaotang's expression was different, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at him.
I saw that under the food cover, there was only an empty bowl, and there were two pills, one red and one blue, in it, and there was nothing else.
Sun Shaotang lifted the wine pot and poured the golden liquor on the surface of the red and blue two pills, only to see that the two dissolved when they met the wine, and a wisp of green smoke came out, turning into a dragon and phoenix, dancing with the wind.
I saw the red and blue pills gradually dissolve, and in the end, only a bowl of milky white ointment soup was left.
Sun Shaotang saw that it was done, so he introduced: "This dish is a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang specially developed by Yipinxian, which is said to be made by taking the essence of hundreds of spiritual foods and boiling them in the way of alchemy, which has the function of strengthening muscles and bones, and strengthening the foundation and cultivating the yuan." ”
The first time Jun Ci heard that he could make soup like this, he tasted it curiously, only to feel that the milky white paste soup had a faint fruity aroma, and the spiritual power contained in such a small sip was enough to be worth hundreds of Dragon and Tiger Pills. But if you talk about the taste alone, Longfeng Chengxiang is not as amazing as Yipinxian.
Perhaps it was Sun Shaotang's words that moved Junci, making the relationship between the two more harmonious, and gradually becoming talkative.
"Actually, when I first cultivated, my qualifications weren't very good, and I stayed for three years just in the Qi refining period. Junci talked about his experience when he first apprenticed to learn art.
Sun Shaotang was fascinated by what he heard, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Jun Ci swallowed the entire bottle of Peiyuan Pill in order to cultivate Dayan Zhou Tianpo Void Record. When he heard that Junci used the projectile made of Gengjin to hit the poisonous dragon hard, he couldn't help but be amazed. When I finally heard that Junci was extinguished, leaving only him as the only spark, I couldn't help but feel depressed and sad.
The two couldn't stop chatting for a while, and it wasn't until the opening bell rang in the distance that the battle of the trapped beasts rang, and the two came back to their senses.
"Big brother, your experience is too bizarre enough to write an autobiography. In comparison, my life experience is a blank slate. Sun Shaotang's eyes were full of admiration.
"Don't be presumptuous, I believe that your future life will be very exciting. Junci patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
Sun Shaotang nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Big brother and others must be careful of Shen Ying's fang, several monks of the same level as him were killed by his inexplicable blow in the life and death ring, and the death looked weird. If you agree, I can communicate with the Trapped Beast Fight, cancel this game, and the loss will be borne by Baicaotang. ”
Before Junci could reply, the melodious bell in the distance rang again.
"Sun Shaotang, you remember to me, if you face an inescapable challenge, no matter how strong the other party is, you must have the confidence to win and the determination to put life and death out of the way, otherwise you will definitely lose. Today I want to see who this death knell is for!" Jun Ci stood up and walked to the window, looking in the direction of the Colosseum.
Sun Shaotang looked at the slender back, and only felt that the blood all over his body was burning. Until this moment, he finally understood his goal in life, which was to unswervingly follow the footsteps of the people in front of him and move forward bravely.
