Chapter 318: Dwarves (Second Update)
A meal of wine, Dichen and the dwarf Mi Lai only drank one glass, the pot of wine on the table, all by Feng Qingyan, greedy wolf and fire python to divide, although the wine pot is not big, the three guys also have three or four glasses each, but the two demon beasts are happy.
After drinking, Feng Qingyan also knew how to stop in moderation, only the greedy wolf and the fire python kept shouting, and finally was scolded by Dichen, so he could only shut up obediently, like that, it was like being wronged.
"Senior, junior has heard of the Red Flame Fruit, I wonder if your Red Flame Fruit Berry Wine is used as a raw material?" Di Chen asked, he had seen the Red Flame Fruit in the ancient books of the sect, this kind of fruit was extremely rare, although it was not as precious as the Blood Bodhi, but it was not much worse. The name of this liquor brewed by Millai now seems to have something to do with the Red Flame Fruit, so there is this question.
"The little brother guessed well, it is indeed using the Red Flame Fruit as the main ingredient, and then adding some other Spirit Fruit Spirit Flowers, the brewing method is quite complicated, and it will take several years from beginning to end each time. Milley said truthfully.
"How many years? I didn't expect it to be so complicated and cumbersome. The younger generation has always been drinking alcohol, and they don't know anything about winemaking. "Dichen was a little shocked, when he was in the God of War Sect before, Nie Shocking Bamboo Leaf Green Wine had never been cut off, so Dichen thought that it was easy to make wine, and it could be completed in a few days or ten days.
Red Flame Fruit Berry Wine is undoubtedly much more advanced than Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, and it takes several years to complete a brew, and it takes months to say the least, but there are a lot of brews each time, so even if you drink it every day, there is no shortage.
"Little brother, don't call your predecessors, just call the old man brother. Mi Lai felt that Dichen had a very good appetite, so he didn't want him to be called by his predecessors all the time, but in this way, Feng Qingyan had an opinion.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this? He's my friend, I call you uncle, he calls you brother, so don't I have to call him uncle too?" Feng Qingyanmei glared at Mi Lai, and suddenly didn't follow.
"What's not to do?" Dichen didn't care, and joked with a smile.
"No, of course not. Feng Qingyan firmly vetoed, and only when he saw the puzzled gaze cast by Mi Lai did he intermittently say to Di Chen: "We are friends, and we are of the same age, how can I call you uncle?"
"Wouldn't we be uncles too?" Uncle Ben thinks it's good, Xiaohuo, what do you say?" Before Di Chen could speak, the greedy wolf on the side turned his head and said to the fire python.
"Haha, it's not bad to pick up such a beautiful niece for nothing. "The fire python seems to be very reluctant.
"You two shut up. Feng Qingyan's face was full of anger, and he stared at the greedy wolf and the fire python with red eyes, so frightened that the two demon beasts couldn't help but shrink their necks, dodged from afar, and pretended to look inexplicably wronged.
Mi Lai stared at Feng Qingyan for a while, glanced at Di Chen, and said with a smile: "If you don't call it, you won't call it, can you be angry? Moreover, cultivators, who cares about this? We can also discuss each other. ”
"How can I be angry?" Feng Qingyan glanced at Milai, took out a turquoise fruit from the ring that he had eaten in the inn before, and turned his head to enjoy it alone.
The greedy wolf's throat moved, his paws rubbed against the fire python, he glanced at it, and whispered, "Why don't we apologize?"
"Just kidding, do you need to apologize?" asked the python looking back.
"But if we don't apologize, we won't have anything to eat in the future. Greedy Wolf said. The fire python was devoted, his eyes glanced at Feng Qingyan, and after a while, the two demon beasts crawled in front of Feng Qingyan, an ugly face smiled even more miserably, and began to apologize without spinelessness, and all the words that could compliment and praise Feng Qingyan were said by them in one breath.
Dichen listened on the sidelines, he really gained a lot of knowledge, he never knew that the two guys had such a deep accumulation of knowledge, so many beautiful words, even Dichen sighed to himself.
I can't help but say that the two guys are still very capable, but after a while, Feng Qingyan was bluffed by them and was stunned, and happily rewarded them with several green fruits, and the two guys naturally enjoyed it, and deliberately made a loud noise to show off to Dichen.
"Dichen, the old man looks at the Yuan Force in your body, it seems to be a little weird, isn't it ......" Milai asked with some hesitation, because he was afraid of touching Dichen's privacy, so he was also a little hesitant when he asked.
"Senior, I once destroyed my dantian by the enemy in a battle. Dichen smiled absently.
"Oh, that's right. Milai nodded suddenly, looked at Di Chen's gaze with some sympathy, and said: "No wonder since I saw you, I felt that the Yuan Power in your body was draining at an extremely fast speed, as if I was a homeless wanderer, rushing through your meridians. ”
"The dantian is the foundation of a cultivator, and if the dantian is gone, those Yuan forces will naturally have no resting place, and loss is inevitable. Dichen said.
"Haha, it's not a big deal, I will often come to the old man in the future, the Red Flame Fruit Berry Wine can provide some Yuan Power, at least it can extend some time. Milley reassured.
He has a friendship with Feng Qingyan for decades, and has always regarded Feng Qingyan as his daughter, but many times they are more like friends, Dichen is Feng Qingyan's friend, and he is familiar with him at first sight, so he cares.
Dichen was a little moved to be able to take such care of him when they met for the first time, but the Red Flame Fruit was extremely rare, and Mi Lai was reluctant to drink it, so how could he come to disturb him often? ”
"Come on, this old man of Red Flame Berry Wine will keep it for you. Milley laughed.
"Then thank you seniors, but my current body is like a bamboo basket, and the replenishment can never catch up with the leakage, if I can't find a solution, I really don't want to waste these natural treasures. Dichen said. He has already thought about it, although there are still many regrets in life, but if it really comes to an end, it will go with him.
But that doesn't mean he's going to be depressed, he's just going to be optimistic, and as long as there's a glimmer of hope, he won't give up, and if there's no hope, let it be.
"If you are open-minded, you will become a great tool. Milley applauded.
Dichen shook his head and smiled, but did not speak.
Time passed quickly in small talk, and seeing that it was about to get dark, Dichen and Feng Qingyan said goodbye to Milai and returned along the same path with the greedy wolf and the fire python. Before leaving, Milai gave Dichen two pots of Red Flame Fruit Berry Wine that he had treasured for more than ten years.
Dichen didn't want to accept it, but he couldn't resist Milai's persuasion, so he accepted it after thanking him.
On the way back, Di Chen asked Feng Qingyan about Milai, so Feng Qingyan told him some things about the dwarf clan.
Originally, it would have been better to ask Milai in person about these things, but Dichen was worried about his privacy, so it was disrespectful to ask rashly. And Dichen has a good relationship with Feng Qingyan, you can ask questions casually, if it involves privacy, Feng Qingyan can also choose not to say it, Dichen will not force it.
"The dwarves, living in the southernmost wasteland jungle of the Southern Wilderness, rarely go out to walk, and have more contact with the beasts in the jungle, but rarely interact with the human race. The dwarves are mainly divided into two categories, one is the battle dwarves who are good at fighting, they have always pursued the immortal path like the human cultivators, and the other is the casting dwarves who are good at craftsmanship, they are generally poor in cultivation, but their casting ability is extremely outstanding, and building houses and building divine blades are their specialties. Feng Qingyan introduced all the way.
"What kind of category does that Milai senior belong to?" Dichen asked.
"He's probably a casting dwarf. Feng Qingyan said uncertainly.
"How did you know each other?" Di Chen was puzzled, thinking that Feng Qingyan should know Milai best, but he didn't expect that she didn't know, and she didn't even know which type of dwarf Milai belonged to, so she could only guess.
"With his skill in brewing Red Flame Berry Wine, he should be a kind of casting dwarf. As for our understanding, we have to start from many years ago. That year, when I came out of the clan to run errands, I happened to pass by Lihuo City, passed by the suburbs where he lived, and suddenly smelled a strong mellow fragrance, and I was curious to look for him, and I met him. Feng Qingyan said.
"Curious? I think it's greedy. Dichen quipped. Feng Qingyan smiled a little embarrassedly and did not refute. Di Chen stopped making fun of her and asked, "Since the dwarf clan lives in the wasteland jungle, why is he here? ”
"This ...... I don't know, I didn't ask him, and he didn't say. Feng Qingyan said: "Maybe it's because he can't get along with the people in the clan, maybe it's because those people often rob him of the Red Flame Fruit Berry Wine, maybe it's ......."
"Don't, maybe. Di Chen hurriedly interrupted and said, "You said that he is a casting dwarf, and his cultivation does not seem to be low, although I can't see the depth, but it should not be worse than you." ”
"You're looking too highly of me. Feng Qingyan smiled.
"How strong?" Di Chen asked, Feng Qingyan meaning that she couldn't compare to Milai at all.
"It should be...... Honorable, I guess. Feng Qingyan was still not sure, and then realized that although he had known him for decades, he didn't seem to know this dwarf at all.
"Forget it, let's go back to the inn!" said Dichen.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way, and when they returned to the "Red Maple Inn", it was already dark night. As soon as Dichen stepped into the threshold of the inn, the shopkeeper limped over, and there were still many scars on his face.
"Little brother, you can be regarded as back. Seeing Dichen and the others returning, the shopkeeper seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
Dichen examined his injuries suspiciously, and found that there was no serious problem. Under his inquiry, the shopkeeper intermittently told the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that not long after Dichen and Feng Qingyan left, two young people in their thirties came to rent a room, and the shopkeeper said that it was full, but the two didn't believe it, so they had to go upstairs to check, and just found that the room they rented was empty, so they forcibly moved in, and beat the shopkeeper who tried to stop it.
"Are they upstairs?" asked Dichen. Look towards the staircase.
