Chapter 15 Blind Brewing
When these disciples saw Ling Lao suddenly flying up to the city tower, they were stunned for a moment, and then they knelt down in unison and shouted in unison, "See Ling Lao." "To be able to make these disciples recognize at first sight, it seems that Ling Lao has not come to this Wangxu City, no wonder he sees the beginning and the end every day.
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Xin felt the airflow around him tighten, and then rose upward, and the dozens of disciples who knelt down were held up by the energy, this move was really big and useless, obviously he could speak to let these disciples get up, but he had to consume his true qi.
However, these disciples' thoughts were different from Qiu Xin's, and they were greatly amazed by Ling Lao's move, and at this time, a square-faced man walked out of it, and said, "The disciple is Ma Kaiyuan of the outer hall, who is responsible for the affairs of the city. ”
Ling Lao nodded and spoke slowly, "Didn't Lei Wu preside over affairs here last time I came?"
"Senior Brother Lei Wu went back a few days ago. Ma Kaiyuan's tone was very respectful, and the other disciples didn't dare to look up at Ling Lao, although there was only one step between the outer gate and the inner gate, but the status in the sect was also very different.
Hearing this, Elder Ling let out a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and said, "In that case, you guys should go and get busy, and leave us alone." When these disciples heard this, they retreated to both sides.
Ling Lao seemed to think of something, and said again, "How long will the winter tide be in the ruins?"
"Qi Yu Linglao, this year's winter tide is on the tenth day of September. The other disciples had already left along the corridor on the city tower, and Ma Kaiyuan was still humble in his words.
"Oh, it's okay, you go down first. Ma Kaiyuan bowed down and retreated to the side, during which he also looked up at Qiu Xin twice, and saw that Qiu Xin was dressed in brown, and he was shocked and left here.
Although Wangxu City is a big city, but there is nothing surprising about it, it is the same as other cities in the Central Plains, it is square and square, and Qiu Xin and Ling Lao boarded, it is the West City Gate, looking at it from afar, it is pitch black, there is no shadow of Mount Tai.
After talking to these outer disciples, Ling Lao took Qiu Xin all the way along the city tower for half a circle, and came to the east gate, making Qiu Xin feel like he was back in the phantom city in an instant, and the water vapor in the sky was hazy.
However, it is understandable that because of the existence of a moat, the water mist is steaming, and this place is also adjacent to the East China Sea, so the water vapor is even stronger.
Ling Lao stood on the city tower with his hands in his hands, quite a sense of contempt, Qiu Xin was also affected, indulged in this, after a long time, only to hear Ling Lao's words, "Do you know the ruins and water?"
"I haven't heard of it, and I ask the elder to give me advice. "Ling Lao has become like a master of the Tao at this time, and the unkempt appearance when he is on the road again today has disappeared, and Qiu Xin is also happy.
"The purpose of our trip is this chaotic ruins, and when the winter tide approaches on the tenth day of September, it will last for ninety days, not much in one day, but not a lot in one day, and then there will be a way to forge your physique. ”
Qiu Xin nodded, it seems that Ling Lao was not a whim about this matter, he had thought about it in advance, and he also inquired about the time of the winter tide, which made Qiu Xin a little moved.
"There are still seven days before the winter tide, these days you are walking around the city, if there is anything, go to Ma Kaiyuan, now, let's go to the bar. After speaking, Ling Lao Er didn't say a word, and returned to the city with Qiu Xin.
Although it was almost there, the city was still very lively, Ling Lao took Qiu Xin to the center of the city first, and then followed a small road, turned left and right, and entered a deep alley.
If he hadn't followed Ling Lao all the way to the end of the alley and saw a small door, Qiu Xin would have thought it was a dead alley, and he wouldn't have come in anyway.
At this time, Ling Lao stood in front of the small door, unexpectedly unusually, straightened his clothes, and was a little restrained, then knocked on the door, and said in a low voice, "I'm here!"
The small door opened without warning, it was actually a small courtyard, Ling Lao walked into it with Qiu Xin, and suddenly the smell of wine filled his nose, making people just take a deep breath, and they felt that they were going to get drunk, and then with a bang, the courtyard door closed in response.
Hearing this smell, Ling Lao smiled on his face, pulled up his robe with one hand, and sat on a small bench in the courtyard, while opposite him was sitting a white-eyed old man, his eyes were chaotic, his tone was vicissitudes, and he said lightly, "Thirteen, serve wine." ”
Since there were only two stools in the courtyard, and the host didn't let him sit down, Qiu Xin stood behind Ling Lao, and after the white-eyed old man finished speaking, a woman walked out of the main house in the small courtyard.
Dressed in a blue cloth robe, his hair has been wrapped in blue cloth, his eyes are big, there is a red mole in the center of his eyebrows, he holds a wine jug, two blue and white wine glasses, and a jar of wine, and there is dust that has been piled up for a long time on the wine jar, but it has not been swept away for some reason, so it is placed in front of the two.
What surprised Qiu Xin even more was that the wine jar and the wine jug did not fall to the ground, but floated in front of the two, and the white-eyed old man raised his hand as if he could see it, "Please!"
Then, the mud seal of the wine jar was opened by itself, and the dust that had been attached to the wine jar floated and poured into the wine jar together, and then the mud seal was covered again and shook.
When the mud seal was opened again, a stronger and more mellow aroma of wine emanated, and the turbid wine flowed into the pot, and when the sound of the jug was about to be full, the flow of wine stopped and returned to the altar.
The woman standing on the side, Thirteen Lotus, stepped forward, picked up the wine jug, and filled the two wine glasses.
The look in Ling Lao's eyes became more and more excited, he raised his hand and drew the wine glass into his hand, drank it all, and shouted, "Good wine." The white-eyed old man smiled and drank another glass of turbid wine.
Seeing this, Qiuxin's Adam's apple moved slightly, he is also a good drinker, when he was a child, he drank in Qingsang Mountain because of curiosity, because the master often used wine as a companion.
But as he gets older, this spicy and bitter liquid seems to have a strange magic, making people forget all the pain, and the so-called drinking to kill sorrow makes Qiu Xin obsessed with this feeling.
The same is true in the small courtyard of the Lu family, and now I am here to watch the old man and the white-eyed old man raise a glass and drink together, and the aroma of the wine is so strong, it must be a good wine, how can it not make Qiu Xin's heart move.
However, Ling Lao seemed to have a different attitude towards the white-eyed old man, so Qiu Xin did not talk about drinking, but he was articulate, and he couldn't deceive himself no matter what.
After three glasses of wine in the courtyard, Ling Lao put down the wine glass and said, "Your wine is only tasteful if you mix it, and the one I brought back last time didn't taste at all, just like ordinary water." ”
It seemed that he didn't hear the compliments of the old man, and the white-eyed old man waved his sleeves, and the wine glasses, wine jugs, and wine jars floating in front of him fell to the ground together, and no sound was made at all.
"Didn't you say that you could come again when the winter tide was approaching when you left last time, why are you in such a hurry when there are seven days left?"
"It's not that there is no wine to drink in the mountains, but it is enough to run to this city and drink two glasses. At this time, the white-eyed old man waved his hand again, and Thirteen held the wine jug in his hand and poured wine for the two of them.
"I can't imagine that the old man of the hidden sect will also be greedy for my mere wine, and no one in the world will laugh to death when he says it. Hearing this, Ling Lao was not angry, and said, "Looking at the ruins of the city to seek the past life, and seeing the past life in the wine of the past life, what is the joke about this, you can sit here for thirty years, and have you ever seen the past life?"
"What is the life of the past life, even if I sit for another thirty years, I may not be able to understand this principle, this death wine is also in vain, let you see the smile. ”
Ling Lao laughed when he heard this, "Everyone in the world has clear eyes, but they can't see through, but you are blind and clear-minded, how many people can compare?"
The white-eyed old man put away his smile, that kind of indifferent look Qiu Xin had never seen before, and heard him say, "Piercing my eyes is my own suffering, thinking that I can be in a clear state of mind, but I didn't expect to be more confused, it is better for you to play the world, and come to be happy." ”
Qiu Xin was shocked in his heart, listening to the white-eyed old man say that his eyes were actually blinded by his own shot, and he didn't see the light like this, and he sat dry for thirty years, this kind of great perseverance, there are few people who can compare, no wonder Ling Lao's attitude towards him is different.
"What kind of game in the world, it's just grandstanding, the sect and faction have become fetters again, and it is difficult to get out, unlike you, the six roots are quiet and don't ask about the world. ”
After drinking a pot of wine, the white-eyed old man put everything on the ground again, and said, "Who is this young man next to you, and why does he have the breath of bright gold, fire gold, and spiritual water?"
Qiu Xin's heart became more and more surprised, although this old man's eyes could not see, but he could tell his age in one mouth, and he was able to sense the three breaths mixed in the three-color true qi in his body, this was the first time Qiu Xin had seen it, and it was also the first time he had heard that the blue breath was called the breath of spiritual water.
In the past, even if someone could see their three-color true qi, although it was strange, they didn't know the truth, and even Miyue only found out that his true qi was obtained from cultivating the hidden spirit technique, and he didn't know it.
Elder Ling was also a little surprised when he heard this, turned around and glanced at Qiu Xin, and said, "This is my newly accepted disciple, but this is the first time I've heard of the three essence breaths in his body. ”
The white-eyed old man leaned his head forward, his white eyes moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand again, sensing it carefully, and then said, "It is indeed three essences, but they exist in his body in a very balanced way, and they have not torn him apart." ”
Qiu Xin suppressed the shock in his heart, stepped forward slowly, and arched his hand and said, "The senior's eyes are like a torch, and under the mistakes, the younger generation does have these three kinds of breath in his body. ”
After saying that, Qiu Xin felt that something was wrong, obviously he was a blind man, but he said that people were as wise as a torch, but the white-eyed old man didn't seem to care at all when he heard it, he just nodded.
Then he asked Ling Lao, "You brought him seven days before the winter tide, not just to have a drink with me. ”
Ling Lao touched his beard and slowly spoke, "I'm here to get a bone quenching pill for him!"
At this time, when the night passed, there seemed to be a lazy sound of beating outside the alley, which sounded very distant.
