"Dare to ask Childe, what is wine?"

"The word wine is the water of the unitary time. You is the tenth of the earth's branches, the west, the autumn, and the season when the rice is ripe. Grain and water are called wine!"

"This is the language of the scriptures, and Weiyu wants to listen to the voice of the child. ”

"The intoxicating thing is wine. The beauty of the world, wealth, fame and fortune, but what can intoxicate people's hearts, what is not wine?"

"Dare to ask Childe, what is drunk?"

"To die of wine is to be drunk, and to be born of wine is to wake up!

...

The scene of the endless sea discussing wine back then appeared in Ning Fan's mind little by little.

Is today's rain the same person as the rain of the year? If so, why is the breath different, and there is a world difference in cultivation!

Back then, Ning Fan encountered a storm that was just a shattered cultivation, and what came to the lower realm was just a distraction, but now...

In front of him, cultivation is already the pinnacle of the fifth tribulation of eternity!

It's actually the pinnacle immortal king!

In the rainy day, Ning Fan could see what he was thinking with the whispering technique, but today's rainstorm cannot do this, and the whispering technique can't play a role...

It's not that Ning Fan's cultivation is insufficient, but that there is an almost terrifying suction force on this rainy body, which seems to be able to devour all the divine thoughts and magical powers that deceive her...

"When I talked about wine with you back then, it was the witch Gu clone I left in Nantian, the Nantian Tantai family, a long-standing branch of my family, I secretly sent a witch Gu clone out to play, and the elders in the clan didn't know about it, so you must not tell others about it, okay?"

It seemed to see Ning Fan's confusion. Yutai Weiyu took the initiative to explain.

"Witch Gu clone?" Ning Fan was slightly stunned.

"That's right, it's a witch clone, if you don't send a villain to play secretly. I'm going to suffocate. You might not imagine that I haven't stepped out of my house in three million years... Fortunately, you scared the elders in my family, so I took this opportunity to come out and play. ”

"Scaring the elders of your family?" Ning Fan was stunned again.

"My family, in the Southern Nationality, although my home is here, my hometown is not here..."

Nan Clan!

Ning Fan's eyes froze slightly, and he still had a lot of doubts in his heart. But after Weiyu said the word Nan, he figured it all out.

The reason why this woman followed her was because she came for the affairs of the Southern Clan!

If this woman is the same person as Weiyu that year. She must know her own details! Is this woman here to expose her identity as a monk in the Rain Realm? But the fact that she was born in the Rain Realm is not unjustifiable...

It's just that...

For some reason, Ning Fan had a strange feeling that everything was exposed in front of this woman's eyes in the face of the sly and cunning eyes of Shangtai Weiyu.

And if this girl is really malicious. She wouldn't be the only one who came. Those old monsters of the Southern Clan won't show mercy to him...

"You followed me for seven days, but you didn't show up, should you just want to scare me..."Ning Fan suddenly had a strange guess.

"It's no wonder to me, who wants you to smash the third grandfather's quasi-saint clone, and scare my grandfathers enough, for fear that the Southern Clan will provoke a big enemy. Hehe, I'll scare you, too. Also ancient overhaul. Zhao Jian... My sister almost believed it, how about it. In the past seven days, Ning Gongzi has been very worried..."

Yutai put down the wine glass and smiled very elegantly, noble and mature, giving people a sense of blackness. It's like chasing Ning Fan all over the starry sky, what a fun thing it is...

Ning Fan was speechless.

In the past seven days, he also said that there was a peerless powerhouse who was eyeing him, although he was not scared, but he was also extremely careful, as if facing a great enemy...

But it turned out that it was just a prank by this woman!

frightened him for seven days, this woman didn't think it was very interesting? The world with a black belly was really incomprehensible.

Another thing made Ning Fan lose his mind slightly. Yutai Weiyu called herself a sister, and this title made Ning Fan inadvertently think of Luo You.

That woman also likes to call herself a sister. I don't know where that woman is now, is she going back to Beitian, after all, Beitian is her hometown...

"Ning Gongzi, who has countless red faces, do you think of any woman again?"

“... Well. Ning Fan didn't deny it, but instead thought of another woman, and asked, "It was the girl's witch clone who led Su Qiu to soar back then, Su Qiu is good now, can she adapt to the life of the Purple Mansion Palace?"

This time, it was Yin Suqiu who asked.

"Senior sister is doing well, according to the news from the witch Gu clone, junior sister is now refining and cultivating..."

After a pause, he said,

"Don't talk about this, you haven't answered me yet, do you want to drink the wine from my hometown?"

"The sake of my hometown..."

Ning Fan nodded, poured himself a cup, tasted it, and was slightly stunned.

It's not wine... It's clear water!

But it's not ordinary clear water...

There is no special taste, no spiritual power, and not even wine, but for some reason, after drinking this glass of water, Ning Fan's heart is directly at peace.

Ning Fan drank one cup, then a second cup, and a third cup. After three cups, he slowly closed his eyes, at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the killing seven days ago, the sea of blood that he had traveled through all these years, the sword and sword shadow and the white bone road, and the cultivation of the rivers and lakes...

He seemed to have regained the feeling of being a mortal, remembering the days when he was young, stepping on the dirt and going up the mountain to collect medicine... I thought of my hometown Haining, and remembered that there was a river there, and the water of the river seemed to taste like this...

He seemed to think of Yue Guo again, and remembered the snow in Qimei City, and the wine of clear water seemed to be the boiled snow water...

No, no, it's not real clear water...

Water makes wine, it is a metamorphosis.

Wine into water is a retrospective.

It's not clear water, it's... Water made from wine. If you insist on commensurate with wine, it is clear water wine!

"Good wine. ”

Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes and gave a pertinent evaluation.

This shout was not loud, but it attracted the attention of many monks in the wine shop, and these low-level monks gathered in the wine shop, naturally most of them were good drinkers. As soon as you hear the words of good wine, you naturally have to pay attention to one or two. Alas, they were doomed to disappointment. Shen Nian swept over, but found that the contents of Ning Fan's cup were not wine, but water.

"Is this person stupid? Obviously he drinks water, but he actually says that it is good wine, and there is a problem with his head? Isn't this even good wine!"

"Don't mention this, if you want me to say, my altar is drunk with immortals brewed by thousands of years of cold dew. It's a really good wine. ”

"Nonsense, compared to my three-thousand-year-old jade girl, your immortal drunk bullshit is not!"

"My altar is red..."

"My cup of purple jelly..."

Full of arguments. Immediately suppressed Ning Fan's previous applause. There are even a few old drunkards who are proficient in this way, drunkenly slapping the table and laughing, taking Ning Fan's mistaken mistake of turning clear water into wine as a joke. Of course. The drunkards just laughed casually and stopped. continued to drink his own wine, and didn't bother to pay attention to Ning Fan, a novice drinker.

Yutai Weiyu silently closed his eyes, and it was difficult to hide the shock in his heart.

Although she gave Ning Fan this wine, she didn't expect Ning Fan to understand, after all, so far, no Eastern Heaven monk has ever understood the beauty of this clear water.

Even she doesn't understand herself...

Ning Fan understands...

In front of the rainy day, the figure of the big brother seemed to appear again. Day after day, I stand at the port and look out in the direction of the vast road. From the dawn. To the twilight, to the eternal night, from the spring of Su, to the silent autumn, to the middle of winter...

I can't forget the lonely expression of the big brother who gulped down the clear water wine.

I can't forget, the big brother touched his little brain melon, and told himself the vicissitudes of the story of the vast road...

"My name is Reverse Fan, and I'm a vast cultivator, but I'm not..."

"I'm not looking at the vast road, but waiting, waiting for an encounter with butterflies. It's not the nine butterflies, it's... That once small self. ”

“... Cangmandao is the hometown of butterflies, and the monks here worship butterflies as gods, just because there have been nine butterflies born here, and there are countless unheard of mortal butterflies... The world only knows that only the vast nine butterflies have flown out of the vast road, and if the butterflies step on the vast expanse, they will be wiped out... Few people know that there was once a mortal butterfly that flew out of the vast road... On that day, the Ancient Sword Master entered the vast Dao Mu Sword, and there was a bold butterfly that hid in the Sword Master's **..."

“... It is not powerful, it can be called ordinary, but it is precisely this ordinary, into the eyes of the Purple Dou Immortal Emperor, from the yin, I saw a glimmer of life, so I was extrajudicial and gracious, promised the bitter plea of the Ancient Sword Master, and gave the butterfly a second life..."

“... When entering the dream world, it is a mortal butterfly, the reincarnation of the world, it is still a mortal butterfly, the Purple Dou Immortal Emperor did not help the butterfly too much, for fear of damaging the butterfly's yin, the only time he intervened, it was only the cause and effect of the ancient emperor and the butterfly, connected together... It's a pity that the hope is still too slim, even before the Purple Dou Immortal Emperor died in battle, he didn't have any hope for the butterfly, but had high hopes for the ancient ten spirits... It's a pity that the Ancient Ten Spirits have lived up to the expectations of the Purple Dou Immortal Emperor and the trust of hundreds of millions of Purple Dou Immortal cultivators..."

“... There is an old saying in our vast road, a butterfly stirring its wings is enough to change a reincarnation... The butterfly's origin is ordinary, there is no ancient bloodline, no clan support, if it is not ruthless, there is no future at all. No one would have thought that the path chosen by the butterfly was something that no True Realm cultivator would dare to try! If he does not die, then he will one day return to the Vast Path, and I must wait for it, so that it can be consummated!"

I don't understand, I don't understand why the big brother has to wait for a butterfly.

I don't understand, I don't understand why my big brother loves to drink this clear water wine...

She never knew that if the big brother liked it, it would be good... Today, I just want to share this wine with Ning Fan, a confidant in the wine.

But Ning Fan understands...

"Childe is really a person who understands wine, meet again today, let Weiyu be rude again, dare to ask Childe, what is wine?"

For the first time, Yutai Weiyu asked about the wine way, and Ning Fan returned to life and death, truth and falsehood, cause and effect, and reincarnation, but this time it was different.

The question is still the same, but what Yutai is asking is no longer the Tao.

It's just that clear water wine...

She remembered the scenes of the vast road, remembered the big brother, wanted to understand the original intention of the big brother to drink clear water wine, and wanted to understand the person she had never understood... There is sadness in the eyes, there is bitterness, but more than that, there is longing.

Don't forget...

Ning Fan frowned slightly, for some reason, he was not used to seeing the rain in the rain and being sad, the last time, and this time. He was not impressed by this woman. On the contrary, like Zhao Dieer, she looks at her nephews and nephews. It's a... The strange mood of the elders feeling sorry for the younger ones is a... It's like a strange feeling that I've been familiar with for countless years.

However, Ning Fan was very sure. He has only met this twice in his life, and in this way, the feeling of being extremely familiar can only be explained by illusion.

"The girl asked, but this clear water wine?"

"You know what I'm trying to ask. Yutai Weiyu's sadness decreased slightly, and he nodded.

"The girl will give me a drink of clear water first. Then he asked this question, and Ning was naturally able to guess one or two. ”

Ning Fan paused, reminiscing about the taste of clear water wine. For some reason, I thought of the scene of the old man fishing, and after groaning, he said.

"Last time. I saw life and death, truth and falsehood, cause and effect, reincarnation in wine, and this time, I saw consummation..."

Ning Fan moved away from the wine jug and glass, stretched out his fingers, urged his mana, and drew a circle on the wine table, flashing with a slight glow.

"When I draw a circle, there will be a place to start. And the beginning of the circle must be the end of the circle. This is complete. ”

"From water to wine, what is sought is sublimation, and from wine back to water, it is a retrospective. This tracing is just walking out of the starting point, going around a circle, and returning to the starting point. Although it is still at the starting point, the circle has been completed, so this clear water wine can no longer be discussed as clear water, because it has been completed, it is extraordinary. ”

"Life and death are a consummation, from birth to death, from death to life, and so on, forming a circle. ”

"Truth and falsehood are a consummation, from seeing whether the truth is true or not, to seeing the truth or the truth, after going through this circle, the way of truth and fiction can be completed. ”

"Cause and effect are also a consummation. Today's people fish, he fishes me every year, the cycle of cause and effect, but it is also like a circle. ”

"Look at the Xiuzhen Star, why is it round, you look at the sun and the moon, why is it round, you look at the human eye, why is it round, you look at this vast starry sky, where there is no circle... All living beings in this world are pursuing its consummation. The edges and corners of the pebbles will be rounded by the tide, and the spirit of a young man will be rounded by the way of the world, and this circle is the path recognized by heaven and the destination of all living beings in the world, but there are exceptions..."

"In this world, there is also a kind of monk who will not polish his edges and corners, God is responsible for softness, he prefers to show it with rigidity! Heaven is responsible for roundness, he will go against the square! The same is from the beginning to the end, but... He would rather knock on the ground and break the blood in the reincarnation, but also keep its edges and corners, and the edge is exposed, competing with the will of heaven... It's not that he can't back down, it's just that he can't compromise, because the edges and corners are his way, and they are more important than his life. As the old saying goes, the sky is round, and the world blindly pursues the round, but forgets that there is still a square road..."

The sky is round and the place is ... The eldest brother seems to have made similar remarks back then...

Tantai Weiyu looked at Ning Fan in a daze, and for a moment, he had an illusion, as if he had returned to the endless years, as if he had returned to the vast road, returned to the Taidu, and returned to the days and nights of the azure rain.

She remembered that day, Brother Fan stood at the intersection and sighed long, saying that this clear water wine tastes the best when she is homesick, and it can be the first wine in the world.

However, it can't be called the first wine underground...

On that day, she vaguely promised that she would brew the first underground wine for her eldest brother, but she only made the eldest brother laugh.

"Ning Gongzi, do you think this Qingshui wine can be worthy of the reputation of the world's first wine?"

"Is the world's first wine... When I drank this wine, I felt home, as when I was young, this wine was worthy of the first wine in the world. Ning Fan replied.

"Na Ning Gongzi thinks that this wine is worthy of the first wine in the ground..."

"The first wine underground?"

Ning Fan was stunned, it was the first time he had heard such a term.

But it's no wonder that there is a world, there is an underground, what's wrong? The world is yang, the underground is yin, and the circle is the recognition of the sky.

"This wine is not enough to be called the first wine in the ground. Ning Fan replied.

"If Childe wants to brew the first underground wine, how does Childe plan to brew it?" asked Yutai Weiyu.

At this moment, she actually had some expectations, if Ning Fan knew how to brew, would she be able to complete the things she promised her big brother back then and brew this wine.

Even though... Big brother is no longer there...

"If I go to brew..."Ning Fan thought of his father, and remembered the scene when his father made wine with blood, that kind of spiciness, which has never been forgotten.

"If I am asked to make this first underground wine, I will still make it in the perfect way, but I will add the blood and bones that I have killed all the way to the wine, and use it as the edge and corner of the wine. Only by making wine with blood and bones can you get drunk with flesh and blood, and you can deserve the reputation of the first wine in the ground!"

The wine of the practice should be spicy, it should be... Take the path of the square!

If the circle is yang, then the square is yin, and it is the yin...

Obviously talking about wine, Ning Fan seemed to have a huge understanding, as if at this moment, he recognized his own way.

Heaven destroys the practice, this road is not passable... The meaning of the impassability is that this road already exists, but it has been blocked.

"One word on this side... Could it be that it is the path of cultivation that Heaven wants to block!"

Other people cultivate the heavens, and those who practice cultivation are none other than the earth!

With this thought, Ning Fan's gaze at the Southern Dipper Star Mountains and Rivers suddenly became different! )
