The sunlight is dim, filtering through the dense leaves in the forest, casting mottled light and shadow on the mountain path.
Ning Zhuo carried the wine jar in his hand and walked calmly, brushing the branches.
The chirping of birds in the forest is clear and sweet. The air is fresh and mixed with the fragrance of earth and vegetation.
"Here we are again." Ning Zhuo walked to the deep pool, which was the place where he and Lin Shanshan met for the first time.
The water in the pool was clear, and a fish was swimming in it. Suddenly it jumped out of the water, causing ripples and shattering the golden sun on the water.
Ning Zhuo continued to move forward and reached the mountain road behind the waterfall.
To his left, the waterfall roared, water splashed, the sun shone, and iridescence spread across the sky. To his right, the mountain wall was mossed, quiet and profound.
Every movement and every stillness seems to have the beauty of the harmony of yin and yang.
After walking through the mountain road, Ning Zhuo stopped in front of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
He did not enter directly, but activated his magic power, mobilized the talismans, and wrote a flying letter in an instant.
The flying letter swayed leisurely and slowly flew into the cave.
Soon, Linghujiu walked out of the cave with Fetion in hand and a smile on his face, and greeted him personally.
At this point, the two finally met for the first time at this moment.
Linghujiu is tall and thin, wearing a green robe with wide sleeves drooping, floating like the wind, chic and suave.
Ning Zhuo wears a white robe with wide sleeves, his brows are as clear as water, and his face is as gentle as the spring breeze and the morning sun. He is polite and courteous, which makes people feel good.
When Ning Zhuo saw Linghu Jiu, he thought to himself: "He is really a good person!"
He thought about the information, and also thought about Linghu Wine's gift to the Gold and Fire Elements to understand the Dharma, and he felt more and more that Linghu Wine was not simple.
"Today, we need to know this person more clearly."
Linghu Jiu has a high reputation in the Wanyao Sect, and his position is unbreakable. He must be the core of power of the Wanyao Sect, and even the next leader of the Wanyao Sect.
Linghujiu secretly exclaimed: "What a boy! He is handsome and elegant, and he is the best son in a troubled world."
"Although he is valued by the elders of the family, his clothes are simple."
Before the meeting, Ning Zhuo had many speculations about Linghu Jiu. At the first glance, he felt that Linghu Jiu was outstanding and in line with his speculations.
Linghujiu also had a lot of suspicions about Ning Zhuo. At the first glance, he felt that Ning Zhuo's appearance was even better than he imagined. His simple and clean clothes made him feel good about him.
Both of them were looking forward to meeting each other. They both had a good impression when they met for the first time.
Linghujiu smiled and said: "Master Ning Zhuo, the sect has received a flying letter notice before you come. In recent days, the master has been winning consecutive battles at Xiaozheng Peak, which is unparalleled. I have been living in a deep cave for a long time, and I have heard about it. Please come in quickly!"
Ning Zhuo first put down the wine jar in his hand, held it up in the air with magic power, raised his hands to each other and saluted, and said seriously: "I have heard about Brother Linghu's name for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet you today. I took the liberty to come here today, and brought a jar of thin wine with me.
Don’t give up.”
Linghu Jiu twitched his nose, stared at the floating wine jar, laughed, and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Brother Ning is a generous gift, and Linghu is ashamed to accept it. Please, come in and let me show my friendship as a host."
.”
The two entered the cave.
The furnishings in the cave are simple, just stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds.
Linghu wine invited Ning Zhuo to sit down: "The cave is simple and crude, and I really neglect our distinguished guests."
Ning Zhuo said: "The scenery in the mountains is unique, simple and quiet. And being able to drink with Brother Linghu today must be a happy event in life."
Linghu Jiu took out the stone bowl and looked at the wine jar expectantly.
His nose twitched again: "To be honest, Mr. Ning Zhuo, I have a wine nose, which is good at smelling the aroma of wine. The smell of wine alone is extraordinary and has already touched my heart!"
Ning Zhuo was slightly startled.
In the intelligence, there is a strong description of Linghu Jiu's addiction to alcohol.
But after meeting him, Ning Zhuo realized that Linghu's habit of drinking was worse than what was described in the intelligence.
Ning Zhuo poured the wine and introduced the origin of the wine.
This is exactly Bingyu wine.
Produced from the Bingxin Jade Pot, it is an inheritance of the Ning family. Those who practice Bingxin Jue drink this wine and complement each other.
Ning Zhuo first filled the stone bowl of Linghu wine, and then poured it into his own glass cup.
Ning Zhuo raised the glass cup with both hands and said, "I am here today to visit, so I want to express my gratitude to Brother Linghu first. The misunderstanding caused by Lauder and others before was all due to Brother Linghu's intervention to solve my problem."
Linghu Jiu laughed and picked up the stone bowl: "Oh, I can't hold it anymore, I'll drink it first!"
Ning Zhuo:?!
For a moment, the sixteen-year-old boy stayed where he was, and saw Linghu Jiu raising his neck and swallowing a full bowl of Bingyu wine into his belly.
Linghujiu sips the fine wine and feels the ultimate coolness, just like sipping ice spring water in the coldest month of winter.
A cool feeling ran through his body, eliminating all his fatigue and anxiety.
The wine is like ice and snow melting, without any pungency, and the sweet aftertaste is like lingering for three days. The more you taste it, the more beautiful it becomes!
At the same time, Linghujiu's upper Dantian emits a magnificent stream of light, like a waterfall, flowing down the spine and pouring directly into the sea of ​​Qi in the Dantian.
In the air sea, the sea of ​​clouds surges and the waves are endless.
Linghu Jiu's Qi Hai cultivation level rose steadily.
"Good wine, good wine. Master, please fill it up quickly!" Linghujiu became excited and was not polite.
The smile on Ning Zhuo's face became even bigger: "Brother Linghu likes this wine. It's really an honor for me."
But I was murmuring in my heart: "What kind of temperament does this person have? Is this a disguise at this time?"
According to the intelligence collected, Linghujiu was lazy and casual, and was well liked by his fellow apprentices. But before, when Lauder and others spread rumors, Linghujiu took care of the overall situation and took the initiative to pay gold and fire.
To Ning Zhuo. Obviously, there is a city.
This made Ning Zhuo couldn't help but guess what the true identity of Linghu Jiu was.
In the past, Ning Zhuo needed long-term observation and contact to gradually understand the details of a person's temperament.
But now, he has magical powers at hand, a magic weapon at his side, and convenient methods.
Watching Linghu wine take a swig from the second bowl, Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with sparkle.
Supernatural power - life hangs in the balance...
"Um?!"
At this moment, Ning Zhuo almost lost his temper.
All because of a strong intuition that told him: If he activates his magical power at this moment, even if he can successfully plant it, Linghujiu will notice it!
This was the first time Ning Zhuo encountered this situation.
He was shocked.
"I have foundation-building cultivation, and even Golden Core-level monks are immune and cannot detect it. Ning Jiufan, the second ancestor of the Zhou family, the Fox God of Wuyin Mountain. Even if he is as strong as Zhu Xuanji, I have blessed him with the Thread of Life.
Supernatural powers.”
Regarding the existence of the golden elixir level, although Ning Zhuo added the life thread, it was at best to add some sense to himself, and it was impossible to control it by force.
On the one hand, even if it is controlled by force, the control range is extremely small. At most, it can only move your little finger, or sneeze or something.
On the other hand, once it is forcibly manipulated, the Jindan monks who were previously unable to detect it will definitely know about it and become suspicious. It is very likely that they will find Ning Zhuo and then punch the big-headed boy to death in a rage.
"I cannot bless Xuansi for the existence of Nascent Soul level."
Ning Zhuo tried this secretly after meeting Grandma Yuan.
It's useless, it won't go down at all.
When the hanging thread descends above the head, there is an invisible force, like a strong wind blowing, making it impossible for the hanging thread to succeed.
"My magical power has always been unfavorable for existences at the foundation building level, but now it has failed with Linghujiu!"
Han Zhou, Hua Guzi, Lin Shanshan and others in the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley were all killed by Ning Zhuo.
Lai Wuying, Zheng Xingchen and others have never received such treatment. This is because Ning Zhuo maintains a good habit of not openly displaying his magical powers in public.
Ning Zhuo felt that once a thread of life was planted in Linghujiu, although he could succeed and control it, he would definitely be noticed by the other party.
"Linghu wine has a very deep foundation, and it can actually resist my magical powers to a certain extent!"
"It seems that he, like me, is well versed in hiding clumsiness. I just don't know which of us has hidden it more and deeper."
Ning Zhuo's heart was shaken, but his face showed no signs of it.
Since Linghujiu likes fine wine, he drinks it frequently.
"please."
"please!"
"Please again!"
After drinking ten bowls of Linghu wine, I still feel unsatisfied.
His face was red, his eyebrows were dancing, his breath was filled with the smell of alcohol, and his movements became larger.
"Good wine, good wine."
Drinking helped his poetry, and he said:
"The ice jade enters the throat and is so cold that it cuts to the bone. When you are drunk, you can see the love in your heart."
"The sweet aftertaste lingers on the tongue for a long time, and the Kanda energy sea soars together!"
Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed and he admired Linghujiu for his literary style. He was about to respond to a poem when Linghujiu suddenly spoke.
Just listen to him say: "Brother Ning Zhuo, what do you want to do with my junior sister Shanshan?"
Ning Zhuo let out a soft ah, feeling that Linghu Jiu's words were like a sudden sword thrusting straight at him, catching him off guard.
He gently placed the cup in his hand on the stone table with a solemn look on his face: "Miss Lin and I hit it off right away."
"This time I came to Guibao Land to seek advice and alliance."
"Ms. Lin has a simple heart and is hospitable. She has helped me many times, even to the point of being grounded."
"My friends' kindness is engraved in my heart, and I will surely repay you generously in the future!"
Linghu stared at Ning Zhuo with drunken eyes, smelling of alcohol.
But at this moment, Ning Zhuo felt as if his heart had been penetrated by Linghu Jiu, leaving nothing to hide.
Linghu Jiu pointed his finger at Ning Zhuo: "What a good boy, you actually mean what you say!"
"Hehehe."
"Hahaha!"
He raised his head and laughed, the corners of his eyes were moist, and he wiped his tears in front of Ning Zhuo without any concern for his own image.
Linghujiu's emotions were complicated and difficult to describe.
On the one hand, he felt relieved. The junior sister he loved was not favored by outsiders.
On the other hand, there are also grievances and depression. The junior sister in his heart has worked so hard and yet no outsider has even noticed her!
Seeing that Ning Zhuo was stunned and speechless, with a puzzled look on his face, Linghu Jiu sighed: "I'm sorry, Master Ning Zhuo. I have a talent called Zuiyue Xunxian."
"As long as I drink good wine and am in a state of drunkenness, my mind will be soaring, my inspiration will be constant, I will have insight into the world, and I will be able to penetrate deeply."
"I just asked you a question. If I use my talent, I will know that what you said is true."
"To be honest, not only Lauder and others misunderstood you, but I also misunderstood you!"
Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "Drunken Moon Looking for Immortals?"
"No matter what, it is a great blessing for me to be able to resolve this misunderstanding."
"Brother Linghu, there is no need to apologize. On the contrary, I want to thank you."
As he spoke, he raised his glass.
Linghu Jiu also picked up the wine bowl, the two of them clinked the cups and drank it all in one gulp.
Linghujiu looked Ning Zhuo up and down, and suddenly sighed: "I know why my junior sister likes you."
He pointed at Ning Zhuo: "Junior sister obeys my master the most, her father, the sect leader of my sect."
"You look so upright and upright, you look a lot like my master."
Ning Zhuo quickly humbled himself and said that he was so virtuous and capable that he could compare with a Nascent Soul Daxiu like Lin Bufan.
Linghujiu suddenly stood up: "Wait a moment, Bingyujiu is not busy drinking for now. I will also treat you to a drink."
He took a few long steps and walked to the stone bed.
He touched the bedside and took out a jar of wine.
Linghu Jiu sat back down, placed the wine on the stone table, and proudly showed off: "I have been imprisoned many times, so I set up a secret storage array here and collected some
Good wine.”
"Whenever I feel lonely and thirsty, I will take out a bottle to relieve my hangover."
"This wine is called Yousi Mingniang, and it will be of great use to you, Mr. Ning Zhuo."
Linghujiu picked up the jar and poured it for Ning Zhuo.
He introduced: "The main ingredients of this wine are water from the underworld and night grass, and the auxiliary ingredients are moon dew, dark jade, and nine-tailed fox tears."
"After drinking it, my thoughts can spread to the underworld, and I can realize the wisdom of the predecessors and get guidance from the underworld."
Linghujiu sighed and continued: "I have the talent to drunken the moon and seek immortality, so my master specially invited an expert from the spiritual kitchen to brew this wine for me. My practice has been greatly benefited by this wine."
"please!"
Ning Zhuo was aroused with a lot of curiosity. He solemnly picked up the wine glass and looked at it carefully.
You can see that You Si Ming Brewing is dark blue in color with a little bit of shimmer.
Close to the tip of the nose and smell it carefully, the aroma of the wine is light and almost nonexistent, but it immediately makes Ning Zhuo's mood clear and peaceful.
"Boss, I want to drink." Ning Zhuo said.
In the middle of the machine tour, Sun Lingtong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "You brat, you have to eat and drink well outside, but I have to look after you, boss. Remember to leave some for me."
Ning Zhuo calmed down and took a sip.
The wine slides over the tip of the tongue, with a hint of bitterness in the sweetness, just like the ups and downs of life.
After the wine enters the abdomen, a warm feeling spreads from the inside out, and the mysterious power from the spirit wine flows through the body, bringing an unprecedented tranquility and serenity.
In a daze, Ning Zhuo "saw" someone.
"I am the God of the Five Elements! The secrets of the Five Elements are all in my hands. The five spirits and five gods listen to my orders, and no one dares to disobey."
"Young descendants, do you want my five internal organs temple spirit magic power?"
"Hahaha, listen up!"
"The five elements are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; the five internal organs are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The five elements belong to the five internal organs, and each performs its own duties. They are mutually reinforcing and inhibiting each other, and the cycle is endless..."
Ning Zhuo concentrated his attention and listened carefully.
As a result, the words spoken by the Lord of the Five Elements became softer and weaker, and eventually even the figure disappeared.
"What's going on?" Ning Zhuo opened his eyes suddenly.
Sober up.
Ning Zhuo felt disappointed.
Linghujiu laughed: "It seems that Mr. Ning Zhuo has realized the benefits of this wine."
"Do you still want to drink?"
Ning Zhuo was not polite and said eagerly: "Please pour some wine."
After drinking another glass, he saw the Five Elements God Lord with a simple face and divine power again.
The god continued to recite his five internal organs temple spirit magic skills.
This time, after talking for a short period, he disappeared again.
Ning Zhuo opened his eyes: "More, more."
Linghujiu laughed loudly.
Ning Zhuo took away his glass cup and looked at Linghujiu: "Brother, do you have a bowl?"
Chapter completed!
