Chapter 8: Monkey Wine
When Xiao Wensheng practiced until noon, thinking that the spirit monkey would no longer come, a squeak came into Xiao Wensheng's ears, and then the figure of the spirit monkey flashed in front of him a few times among the branches, and the gourd was hung there with a thin vine around his waist......
Xiao Wensheng smiled and pointed to the gourd on the waist of the spirit monkey and said, "Is this what you call good wine?" ”
The spirit monkey handed the gourd to Xiao Wensheng's hand, with a look of expectation in his eyes.
Xiao Wensheng took the gourd curiously, opened the stopper and looked inside, only to see that the gourd contained a pale yellow liquid, and the liquid in it was much thicker than ordinary liquids.
Xiao Wensheng raised the gourd and took a sip gently, only to feel that the liquid was cool in his mouth, turning into a cool air flow into his stomach, but it was only an instant, and this clear stream turned into a blazing heat.
At this moment, Xiao Wensheng's face changed sharply, because the content of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this wine completely exceeded his estimate, and it was even several times more than what he usually inhaled into his body every time.
He didn't have time to pay attention to the spirit monkey with an expectant look on his face, Xiao Wensheng hurriedly sat down cross-legged, his hands were sealed, he calmed down, and began to guide the huge heaven and earth vitality in his body.
Fortunately, although this aura is huge, it is relatively gentle, and it is no longer running around under Xiao Wensheng's guidance. Moreover, when Xiao Wensheng was guiding these aura, he unexpectedly found that these auras were particularly easy to be absorbed by the meridians and the flesh and blood of the body, and used to strengthen his body, and this discovery surprised Xiao Wensheng, because Xiao Wensheng found that only relying on refining qi to increase cultivation was the growth of cultivation, and it was difficult to increase the strength of the body after reaching a certain level.
After refining the spiritual energy in the wine, Xiao Wensheng slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the spirit monkey was jumping in a hurry in front of him, obviously he didn't know how this person suddenly entered the cultivation state, and it also understood that this state could not be disturbed, so he was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and at this moment, after seeing Xiao Wensheng finally wake up, he squeaked.
"I'm fine, what kind of wine are you, it's really strong, it almost didn't up, but I still have to thank you, with your wine, I'm sure that my physical strength can go to the next level." Xiao Wensheng said with a smile.
"Okay, it's not too early today, we'll meet again tomorrow. Xiao Wensheng didn't expect that he would sit for a few hours, the sky had already begun to darken, and he got up and walked towards the residence of the fifth senior brother. To get such a good wine, of course, you have to share it with the best five senior brothers who get along with each other.
"Fifth Senior Brother, are you there?" Xiao Wensheng directly pushed open the door and entered Hou Guang's small courtyard.
"Hey, junior brother, have you finished practicing your sword? Why do you have time to come to me at this time today? It can't be that you are addicted to alcohol and still want it?"
"Don't I have something good to share with my brother, come and taste my wine, how about it? ”
After speaking, Xiao Wensheng handed the gourd to Hou Guang.
"Your wine, where did you get the wine?" In confusion, Hou Guang took Xiao Wensheng's gourd, opened the stopper and smelled it, and said in surprise: "Ah, monkey wine, and looking at the color and viscosity, at least it is a monkey wine for decades or even a hundred years, junior brother, where did you get it? You went into the mountains?" Hou Guang hurriedly asked.
So, Xiao Wensheng told him about the process of practicing his sword and getting to know this spirit monkey.
"No wonder the master said that you have a seven-trick exquisite heart, how can we do such things, the spirit monkey in the mountain is in addition to the name of the shrewd and difficult, I have wanted to go to these monkeys several times to get some monkey wine, but they practice in the mountains all the year round, there are a few old monkeys can even live for hundreds of years, the strength is not under the senior brother, since then I have dispelled this idea, I didn't expect that now the junior brother and a monkey have become friends, and won the friendship of this monkey. Hou Guang said.
"It's just a coincidence. Xiao Wensheng said with a smile.
"There is another thing that the junior brother may not know, the spirit monkey on this mountain has picked the spirit fruit on these peaks, and the monkey wine brewed contains a lot of spiritual energy, and the most precious thing is that this monkey wine can strengthen the body and expand the pulse, and it is good for cultivation to drink it often, the Gu Yuan Dan that the second senior brother refined for you should not be of much use now, I don't think it is as good as this, you go and discuss with the second senior brother, let the second senior brother refine some Gu Yuan Dan, and the Gu Yuan Dan still has a great effect on these spirit beasts that have never been taken, you take these Gu Yuan Dan to find the spirit monkey to exchange for more monkey wine, give it to the master, and let the senior brothers also stain the light。 Hou Guang said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is no problem, I'll go to the second senior brother to discuss it later. Xiao Wensheng said.
"Oh, by the way, the master has just returned from a wandering out, if you're okay, go see him. Hou Guang said.
"The master is back, his old man is gone for a few months, then I will go to see him, this gourd monkey wine will first honor the master and his old man, and then share it with the senior brothers in exchange for monkey wine." After Xiao Wensheng finished speaking, he walked out of Hou Guang's courtyard and came to the door of the master's courtyard.
"Master, are you there?" Xiao Wensheng shouted.
"It's the sixth, come in. The voice of the drunken Taoist came, and I don't know when, the drunken Taoist's title to Xiao Wensheng became the sixth child.
Xiao Wensheng pushed the door and entered the courtyard of the drunken Taoist, and saw that the drunken Taoist was sitting on the stone chair drinking wine, and when he saw Xiao Wensheng come in, there was a smile on his face.
"Sixth, I heard Wuchen say that you have been cultivating very hard in the past six months, so I am relieved, and now you have reached the level of Qi refining?" the drunken Taoist asked.
"We have reached the fourth layer, and we are preparing to break through to the fourth layer and enter the fifth layer. Xiao Wensheng said respectfully.
"Come, come and sit down, you, I've told you many times that we don't need to be so polite between our master and apprentice, half a year to the fourth layer, although it's not fast, but it's okay, I think you are the spiritual root of the two phases of wind and thunder, these two phases are the main killing, in addition to cultivating diligently in the future, you must also meditate and study as much as before, so that you will not be disturbed by the demons in your heart." The sinner said.
Xiao Wensheng sat down beside the drunken Taoist and said, "The master's teachings and disciples have remembered. It just so happened that the spirit monkey gave me a gourd monkey wine today, and the disciple knew that the master liked to drink, so he specially used it to honor the master. With that, he handed the gourd to the drunken Taoist.
The drunken Taoist took the gourd, opened the stopper and took a sip, smacked his lips, and said: "This should be fifty years of monkey wine, this is a good thing, no wonder you are so hearted, your heart master accepted it, but this wine is addicted to me, it is useless to me, but you can use it now to help refine the solid pulse of the qi, it can be said that there are many benefits, or you keep it for yourself." As he spoke, he handed the gourd to Xiao Wensheng again.
"Master, that's the case, the fifth senior brother gave an idea to let the second senior brother refine some pills that are beneficial to spirit beasts, such as Guyuan Pill and Tongqi Pill, and then I took it and exchanged it for some monkey wine, so that the senior brothers and sisters can all get benefits. Xiao Wensheng said.
After listening to Xiao Wensheng, the drunken Taoist also had his eyes lit up and said with a smile: " Haha, this is a good idea, and the fifth can come up with this kind of idea, that group of spirit monkeys have been breeding on this mountain for thousands of years, and there are a few old guys who even I am afraid of, they must also know the benefits of the cultivators' elixir for them, and use the monkey wine they brew in their idleness to exchange for the elixir they dream of, of course they are willing, you can discuss this matter with your second senior brother, and you can also help them refine an elixir that can help open up the spiritual wisdom, such as the Tongqi Pill, the Condensing Pill, and other pills that are not difficult to refine, and give them some sweetness。 The drunken Taoist said.
"Well, what the master said is that since the master said that they have lived here for so long, then maybe they still have a hundred or even hundreds of years of monkey wine to treasure. Xiao Wensheng couldn't help but guess.
"A hundred years of monkey wine? If there is one, the master really wants to taste what it tastes like. The drunken Taoist said with a smile.
"If they really exist, the disciple should find them for the master. Xiao Wensheng said.
"But there is one thing you must remember, everything is for the purpose of friendship, and you must not anger this group of spirit monkeys. The drunken Taoist said.
"Well, the disciple remembered. Xiao Wensheng said.
"Well, okay, then you can go and discuss it with your second senior brother, this matter is done well, maybe it will have a huge impact on our Tianji Peak. The drunken Taoist said.
Xiao Wensheng walked out of the courtyard of the drunken Taoist and walked towards the residence of the second senior brother, he had been thinking about the feasibility of this matter in his mind, and he had already come to the courtyard of the second senior brother unintuitively.
"Second Senior Brother, are you there?" Xiao Wensheng shouted.
After a while, the second senior brother's round body leaned out of the door, and said with a smile: "Didn't the senior brother practice sword today? ”
"I happened to pass by the second senior brother, and I have always been curious about the second senior brother's alchemy technique, so I came to observe it, and discussed something with the second senior brother by the way. Xiao Wensheng said.
"Then come in, I only know a little bit about alchemy, I'm afraid it will make my junior brother laugh. Second Senior Brother Yuwen Mo said.
"Senior brother is humble, Dan Dao is a great way, which alchemy master is not fully admired, and the monk does everything possible to please Yidan. Xiao Wensheng followed the second senior brother to the courtyard as he spoke, only to see a huge Dan furnace in the middle of the second senior brother's courtyard, which was still burning violently at the moment, and wisps of medicinal incense emanated from the furnace.
"I don't know what kind of elixir this furnace is refining, Senior Brother?" Xiao Wensheng asked curiously, just the medicinal fragrance wafting out of the furnace was already very refreshing, and he didn't know what the effect would be if he ate it.
"This is the spirit pill, I went to the mountains to collect medicine some time ago, and accidentally found a spirit flower, the flower blooms in seven colors, it is the strongest effect, if the spirit beast eats a certain chance to be able to open the spirit wisdom, now I practice the pill is also a great benefit to the spirit beast, the cultivator can also play a role in concentrating the mind after eating it, so that the effect is doubled when refining qi, just about to be baked I sent a few to my junior brother. Second Senior Brother Yuwen Mo said.
"It's also a coincidence, I happened to come to my senior brother to ask for this kind of elixir that is useful for spirit beasts. After speaking, Xiao Wensheng told the second senior brother the idea of exchanging the elixir for monkey wine.
After hearing this, the second senior brother pondered for a while and said, "This idea is feasible, but the strange flowers and fruits used in alchemy all grow in hidden places, and I am afraid that I alone will not be able to refine so many pills." The second senior brother expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Is there a lack of alchemy materials?" Xiao Wensheng pondered, this group of monkeys must know everything about this place after living here for so many years, if they could help find the materials needed for alchemy, then it would be much easier.
It's just that Xiao Wensheng didn't say this idea, and he wasn't sure if he could communicate with the spirit monkey in such detail.
Xiao Wensheng pondered, and the second senior brother opened the Dan furnace, and dozens of dark yellow Qiling pills in it were included in the blue and white porcelain vase by the second senior brother.
The second senior brother handed the blue and white porcelain vase of this Sheng Dan medicine to Xiao Wensheng and said, "Senior brother, you take it first, go and test the meaning of the Spirit Monkey Clan, if there is a good effect, I will find a way to refine more pills for you." ”
"Well, okay, then I'll go back first. Xiao Wensheng said hello and returned to his courtyard, Xiao Wensheng sat down cross-legged and entered the state of cultivation, and now his cultivation has entered the fourth layer of qi refining, and the aura of heaven and earth that can be absorbed into the body can be multiplied every time, and the time for a week of circulation has also been greatly reduced, and now the achievements of one night of cultivation are comparable to the results of the previous three nights of cultivation.
Early in the morning, Xiao Wensheng slowly opened his eyes, pushed open the door and looked outside, the sky was already bright, maybe the spirit monkey was already waiting for the place where he practiced his sword.
When Xiao Wensheng came to the glade in the forest, sure enough, the spirit monkey was already sitting on top of the tree and playing with the golden retriever on his body, tickling it, and saw Xiao Wensheng coming over and squeaking twice, as if he was blaming Xiao Wensheng for why he came so late.
"Brother Monkey, come here, let's not practice swords today, I have something important to discuss with you. Xiao Wensheng beckoned to the spirit monkey on the branch.
The spirit monkey jumped in front of Xiao Wensheng in twos and threes, looked at him suspiciously, scratched his head, and didn't know what Xiao Wensheng wanted to do.
"Brother Monkey, that's the case, the monkey wine you gave me yesterday is very beneficial to my cultivation, so I want to use the elixir refined by our monks to exchange the spirit wine with you, this is a spirit elixir, I will use this pill to exchange for your spirit wine, I don't know if it's okay?"
Xiao Wensheng took out a spirit pill from the blue and white porcelain vase and handed it to the spirit monkey, although this spirit monkey has always behaved very smart, but he is not very sure whether this spirit monkey understands his own meaning.
The spirit monkey took the elixir in Xiao Wensheng's hand, sniffed it with his nose, and suddenly squeaked, his expression showed excitement, and he danced for a while, and then ran into the distance.
Xiao Wensheng also probably understood the meaning of the spirit monkey, it was going to go back to the clan first, and let Xiao Wensheng wait for it here.
Xiao Wensheng smiled faintly, looking at the excited expression of the spirit monkey just now, there should be a play.
The spirit monkey clan should be a little far away from here, it took several hours to get the spirit wine last time, and it was okay at this time, Xiao Wensheng took out the purple thunder sword from the storage ring and practiced the sword.
After cultivating into the fourth layer of qi refining, a lot of true yuan has been stored in the dantian of the body, and Xiao Wensheng usually practices swordsmanship only to pursue the meaning of swordsmanship, and rarely uses true yuan.
But at this moment, Xiao Wensheng triggered the true yuan in his body, above the sword body, as if there was a wisp of wind swirling and winding, as Xiao Wensheng's body was dancing, there were pieces of falling flowers were taken off to dance, this falling flower whenever it approached the purple thunder sword body, it would be quietly divided into several parts by the wind whirlpool of the true yuan on the sword body, and the incision was flat and smooth, which showed that this true yuan wind whirlwind was extremely sharp.
The clouds stopped, and the thunder rose, and at this time, the purple thunder light was wrapped around the Cold Star Sword, and with Xiao Wensheng's dance, bursts of thunder continued to sound.
Haotian Sword Duel mentioned that sword moves are easy to learn, and sword intent is hard to find.
Xiao Wensheng has been practicing the sword for half a year, at best, he can only get rid of the feeling of stiffness and clumsiness, but he is still far from the point where the sword is elegant and agile, and the sword is like a dragon, let alone looking for his own sword intent.
