Chapter 123: The Old Man in the Forest

"Brother Ru, I want to go back to the beggar gang to report the situation of this operation first, you can go with me!" Lan Tianhe and Wu Dunru walked a long distance, and after confirming that they had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the Mongols, they asked Wu Dunru.

>> Brother Xie Lan took care of me, now that my injuries have healed, and Yingmei's injuries have also healed, even if the chasing soldiers come again, they can resist one or two. Let's move on, and we won't go to the beggars with Brother Lan to bother them!" Wu Dunru said with a fist clenched.

I know that the Dunru brothers want to rely on their own abilities and do not want to rely on the help of the beggars. But you also have to make sure you're safe first!" Lan Tian and continued.

Wu Dunru, Cheng Ying, and Guo Fu hurriedly smiled and promised that they would definitely pay attention.

Lan Tianhe also came from that age, of course he knew that Wu Dunru and they didn't listen much, so he shook his head helplessly, and after saying goodbye repeatedly, he set off to rush back to the beggar gang to report.

Wu Dunru and the three continued to ride north, but in order to get rid of Huo Du's tracking, they adjusted their direction slightly to the north and east.

The three of them stayed overnight, changing their directions randomly along the way, although they also encountered a different number of Mongolian soldiers several times, but fortunately they were not found in danger.

On this day, Wu Dunru and the other three people were laughing while hurrying, and suddenly Guo Fu exclaimed: "Ahh

Wu Dunru immediately looked and found that they had unknowingly walked into an endless apricot grove, although it was not the season for the apricot blossoms to bloom, but it was enough to imagine. Stay until then. The apricot blossoms all over the mountains are blooming. What a breathtaking sight it will be.

&There are so many apricot trees in it!, it's so much like our Peach Blossom Island!" Guo Fu cheered happily, "I must ask my grandfather to have time to come and see, this place is so beautiful!"

"Sister, haven't you and your ancestor been here?" Wu Dunru asked.

But Master seems to have mentioned that there is an apricot blossom village here, which has been famous for its abundant wine since the Tang Dynasty. The last time I came to Shanxi, Master originally planned to bring me here, but suddenly there was some news about Senior Brother Feng Mofeng, so Master took me to hurry there, but in the end, I couldn't find Senior Brother Feng. Master was very disappointed, and sighed for several days!" Cheng Ying recalled.

I see! This is the famous Xinghua Village. Wu Dunru said suddenly.

I know! I know! I know! That's who wrote it: During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls, so they ask where the restaurant is, and the shepherd boy points to Xinghua Village. Isn't that right?" Guo Fu laughed.

& Tang Dynasty Du Mu, Shi Niang has said it many times!" Wu Dunru added with a blank look at Guo Fu.

I even remember everything, how can I be in a hurry Du Mu!" Guo Fu pursed his lips and quibbled, with a very disdainful look, which made Wu Dunru and Cheng Ying cry and laugh.

When I knew that this was the famous Xinghua Village, the memories of my past life resurfaced. All kinds of deeds about Xinghua Village also came to mind one by one, and Wu Dunru's grandfather in his previous life was an elegant man who loved wine. Therefore, the brothers Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen also know a little about wine.

&The apricot trees that dot the mountains are not just for the sake of beauty, but also the raw material for sake brewing here, and the famous "lamb wine" brewed in this Xinghua Village is made from almonds. Wu Dunru said eloquently.

The "lamb wine" he refers to here is the predecessor of the famous wine "Zhuye Qing" in the previous life. Legend has it that Fu Shan, a famous scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, reformed the process of "lamb wine", thus forming "bamboo leaf green", and then almonds were no longer the raw materials for winemaking, and the local residents gradually stopped planting a large number of apricot trees in order to make a living, so that in the previous life, the apricot trees in the village were not forested.

& Because almonds are the raw materials for winemaking, so this "lamb wine" in the Northern Song Dynasty Zhang Nengchen's "Wine Names" has another name called "Fenzhou Almond Dew"! There is also a deification legend in the "Drunken Immortal Residence" hotel, the most popular: the legend has a fairy Weng old Tao, dressed in rags, three times drinking, without paying a penny, but can skillfully spit out the aroma, clear water into wine, change the ancient well into a divine well...... "Wu Dun Ru eloquently said.

Cheng Ying and Guo Fu watched the surrounding scenery on the side, while quietly listening to Wu Dunru's narration, their hearts were not only amazed by the magic of mythological stories, but also sighed at Wu Dunru's erudition, it seems that no matter what they say, they can easily come up with all kinds of allusions.

"Haha! The little guy doesn't know a lot of things, and there are some allusions that I haven't even heard of as a reader, but the story is very wonderful and interesting! Are you interested in coming to the old man to sit here, let me listen to it too?" Just when Wu Dunru and the others were about to walk out of this apricot forest, and Wu Dunru was about to temporarily suspend the display of knowledge, suddenly a soft voice came from the depths of the apricot forest, although the voice was not loud, but the sentences directly reached the ears of the three people.

Wu Dunru's heart moved, this person's internal strength is unfathomable, but listening to the tone, it seems that there is no malice, since he has already opened his mouth to invite, it is not good to categorically refuse, in case he annoys the other party, it will not be good.

So Wu Dunru and Cheng Ying glanced at each other, vigilant in their hearts, and nodded to each other imperceptibly. "Huh, who's calling us?" Guo Fu didn't react for a while, and blurted out.

"Oh, girl, it's not that you, where are there others!" You can see the old man's grass house through the apricot forest to the west, if you are interested, come in and sit down, if there is something urgent, forget it, it is my old man who is abrupt!" came the kind laughter in the apricot grove again.

"Wu Dunru hugged his fist to the west and secretly lucked the "Jiuyang Divine Skill", replied loudly, and used his internal force to transmit the voice from afar, since it has been encountered, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, it is better to go to the appointment frankly.

Since the other party calls himself an old man, it seems that he is also a senior master, and he has never embarrassed his juniors, maybe it really suddenly rose up and invited each other, just to talk a few words casually.

Wu Dunru took the lead and strode towards the apricot forest, Cheng Ying followed cautiously, while Guo Fu looked east and west with a big grin, sometimes touching a hundred-year-old apricot tree and sighing greatly, sometimes jumping on an apricot tree and looking into the distance, chattering non-stop.

The three of them had traveled a long distance of two miles before they came across a haphazard thatched hut under a tall almond tree, a rarity in the north, like a farmer's hut for resting in his field.

In the open space in front of the thatched house, there was an old man with white hair, but wearing a somewhat white Confucian shirt, sitting casually in front of a table and chair carved from tree roots, pouring himself a drink, his expression was pleasant, slightly drunk and hazy, and a trace of essence inadvertently flashed in his eyes was difficult to ignore.

& A few people inadvertently came to the old man's forest, disturbing your purity, and I hope the old man will not blame!" Wu Dunru bowed deeply again.

"Strange! Not strange!" the white-haired old man waved his hand casually, "In this poor country, it is rare to come to a few interesting little guys, which makes my old man very happy!

"Grandpa!Are you the old fairy Weng told in the story of Brother Dunru? No, you are stuck more like an old gentleman in a private school! But old man, you have a kind of fairy style and bones, if you put on a Taoist robe, you must be a mortal immortal!" Guo Fu opened a pair of water and eyes looked up and down at the white-haired old man, she hadn't recovered from Wu Dunru's story, and suddenly saw this old man and asked directly.

When Wu Dunru was about to pretend to stop Guo Fu from being rude, he only heard the old man laughing, gently stroked the snow-white beard on his chest with one hand, and nodded: "Little girl has a good eye, isn't I the old man the immortal who went down to earth?"

The gods in the story will never admit that they are immortals! You are clearly lying to people like this. Guo Fu began to doubt again at this time. Wu Dunru on the side was speechless......

The white-haired old man was also stunned, and he didn't know how to answer because of Guo Fu's uneasy common sense, but in a blink of an eye, he couldn't stop laughing, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, waved his hand and said: "Sit casually, sit casually, don't be polite to the old man." ”

"Wu Dunru had already let down his guard, and he could see at a glance that this white-haired old man was a senior master who lived in seclusion, and with his unfathomable skills, if it was to be unfavorable to them, there was no need to be so troublesome, and it was not something they could resist at will.

& Several people are from Peach Blossom Island, this is Cheng Ying, who is a closed disciple of the East Evil Huang Yaoshi on Peach Blossom Island; this senior sister Guo Fu is the daughter of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, the current leader of the Beggar Gang; and the next name is Wu Dun Confucian, who studied under Guo Jing and Guo Daxia. Wu Dunru introduced himself, there was no such number one person in his memory, "I don't know the name of the senior, the senior's internal strength is profound, maybe I have heard the elders in the family mention your old man before." ”

I seem to have heard of it, and it seems to be one of the five unique swords in the world, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see it, but I saw the old man called Hanako once. The white-haired old man heard Wu Dunru's introduction, recalled for a moment and said, "That Wang Chongyang was very famous back then, known as the first master in the world, I couldn't help but go to Zhongnan Mountain for a while, and compared it casually, the kung fu is really good, but it is a little old-fashioned, not interesting!"
