Chapter 405 Hua Gu evaluates wine
"Fake wine?" Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows after hearing Hua Guzi's judgment, "Are you sure?"
Hua Guzi slapped his chest vigorously and assured with trembles: "Master, I am a spiritual chef. Although I am not good at making wine, spiritual wine is also in this category."
"This wine recipe is indeed contradictory and can never be wrong."
After a pause, Hua Guzi continued: "I just took a sip and found out that there are two main ingredients in this wine. One is yellow spring water and the other is nocturnal grass."
"Yellow spring water can solidify the soul and soul, and is often used in elixirs and spells. However, as a brewing material, it is too cold and will directly damage the drinker's yang energy."
"Night-walking grass grows in dark and moist places. It can be used to enhance the spirit and soul power, but it has a gloomy nature. Therefore, it is not suitable for monks in the world of the world, but is suitable for ghost cultivators in the underworld. Therefore, it is often used as a resting place for night-wandering gods.
"
"The night grass and the underworld water are both yin and cold things. Their powers are very similar and they cannot produce complementary effects. Instead, they can easily lead to a single drink and bring yin and cold diseases to the monks."
After talking about the main ingredients, Huaguzi talked about the auxiliary ingredients.
She took another sip of Yousi Ming brew and pinched it with her fingers.
After a while, she looked at Ning Zhuo and asked: "Master Ning Zhuo, I think the ingredients for this wine should include moon dew, dark jade and mermaid teardrops, is that correct?"
Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly and did not hide anything at this time: "As far as I know, the first two are correct, but the latter is not the tears of the shark, but the tears of the nine-tailed fox."
Hua Guzi hummed, with a solemn expression: "Although moon dew has the effect of moisturizing the mind, it is cold in nature and is often used to neutralize other hot ingredients in spiritual food and elixirs. But in Yousi Mingjiang, it is pure
It promotes the cold nature, which not only has no harmonious effect, but also aggravates the coldness of the overall wine body, making the wine extreme."
"Ming jade is a specialty of the underworld and is often used in the manufacture of magic weapons. Its properties are stable and Yin-holding, good at protecting the soul and calming the soul. However, as an auxiliary material, it is too heavy and astringent, and the flow of spiritual energy in the wine body will be blocked and cannot be maintained.
Light taste. Mingyu has a strong absorption capacity and can easily absorb other spirits in the wine, causing the wine to become dull and lose its due vitality and layering."
"The last item is the nine-tailed fox tears. These tears are relatively rare and precious. They have the effect of clearing away distracting thoughts and purifying the soul. However, they are triggered by emotions, which often fluctuate greatly and are difficult to control. Compared with the aforementioned cold materials,
Although the tears of the nine-tailed fox have a tender meaning, they cannot reconcile these overly cold main and auxiliary materials."
"Because the dosage is too small. I didn't taste it just now! In this case, the Nine-tailed Fox Tears will be overly infected by the coldness in the wine, making it unable to exert its own effect and being swallowed up by the wine body."
After Hua Guzi finished speaking, he finally said: "So, in conclusion, the main ingredients in this wine recipe are too close in nature, which weakens the change and depth of the wine body, causing the wine to become rigid."
"The moon dew and Mingyu in the auxiliary ingredients not only failed to harmonize with the main ingredients, but instead intensified the coldness and dullness of the wine."
"The only promising Nine-tailed Fox Tears, the dosage is too small to harmonize the yin. And because of its emotional fluctuations and resonance, it is incompatible with the cold body of the wine. On the contrary, it is easy to cause a huge contrast in emotions. If the drinker's mood is unstable,
You may fall into soul shock, which may indirectly cause your emotions to change to extremes or even lose control."
Hua Guzi pondered: "If it were me, I would eliminate some main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients, and use warm and masculine ingredients to blend them."
"For example, flaming sun fruit, red flame ganoderma, purple sun lotus seeds, or even more boldly, you can even choose phoenix golden velvet."
Hua Guzi's attitude towards Ning Zhuo is different from ordinary people.
This explanation is completely heartfelt and contains no falsehood.
Ning Zhuo pondered for a moment and asked her: "Can this drink make people's thoughts spread to the underworld, to understand the wisdom of the predecessors and get guidance from the underworld?"
Hua Guzi's eyes widened and he smiled: "How is that possible? Could it be that the young master was deceived?!"
Ning Zhuo fell into deep thought again.
He tasted the wine again, and it tasted the same as before.
Linghujiu deceived him?
Based on his understanding of Linghujiu's temperament, this made no sense at all.
Did Linghujiu give him fake wine? If he didn’t want to give it, there was no need to pour out the last jar of wine, and he could just say he was done drinking it, wouldn’t it be fine?
Why bother?
Seeing that Ning Zhuo hadn't finished speaking, Hua Guzi frowned and thought. She also wanted to share the burden for Ning Zhuo, so she took the initiative to suggest: "If you want to communicate with the underworld and get advice from predecessors, there are actually many ways."
"The most orthodox and safest way is to worship ancestors in a grand ceremony."
"Because of the blood relationship, the ghosts in the underworld will not attack us easily. They will benefit from the ceremony, maintain their sanity, and restore their humanity."
"Actually...the separation between Yin and Yang is the natural pattern of heaven and earth, and it makes sense."
"The coldness of things in the underworld is so profound that it can even distort one's temperament and be filled with hatred, resentment and other bad emotions. It can even lead to jealousy towards living things in the underworld, and a destructive heart that desires and desires cannot be obtained."
"We, the monks in the human world, should not have too much contact with them."
"Otherwise, it can easily lead to many consequences."
Hua Guzi was worried about Ning Zhuo and expressed her true concern.
Ning Zhuo did not listen carefully, but was thinking about this matter.
With his investigation and Hua Guzi's taste for Yousi Mingjiang, the whole thing became more complicated.
"What is the truth?"
"Where do I feel weird?"
"Is Hua Guzi really wrong? She and Linghujiu are completely opposite..."
"No, or are they both right?"
Ning Zhuo thought about this and felt a little distracted.
Hua Guzi stood aside, looking at Ning Zhuo's face carefully, and secretly excited in her heart: "Sure enough! Master Ning Zhuo's frowning and thinking look is so elegant!"
"I really want to hold his head in my arms and rub it well." Hua Guzi's emotion was so intense that Ning Zhuo quickly noticed it through the thread of life.
Ning Zhuo:......
He quickly asked Hua Guzi to leave.
"I was driven away, I was driven away by Mr. Ning Zhuo!" After Hua Guzi walked out of Ning Zhuo's cave, her eyes were blurred with anger and her face was flushed.
Ning Zhuo returned to the cave, but no longer thought about it.
"There is a lot of fog at the moment. It is better to wait for the results of further discussions between our ancestors before making a judgment."
The spiritual plant cabin in Wandering Dragon is already empty.
Lingyin Liu has been taken away by Ning Jiufan.
This also made Ning Zhuo feel empty and uncomfortable.
Soon after, Ning Jongfan found him again and informed Ning Zhuo of the progress of further negotiations.
The news is mixed.
The good news is that after Lin Bufan personally investigated, Lingyinliu has been taken over and said that it can be treated properly, but it will take a lot of effort——
It takes a lot of time and a lot of money to heal slowly.
Many of the assets here involve Nascent Soul-level resources. So much so that Ning Jingfan used his Earth Fiend Fire as a deposit to pay Lin Bufan on the spot.
The bad news is that Lin Bufan directly stated that the wine recipe of You Si Ming Brewing is non-negotiable and not for sale, and is not allowed to be sold outside.
After Ning Jiufan communicated with Ning Zhuo, he found that Ning Zhuo's drinking of You Si Ming Brew had no effect, so he advised: "The current negotiation situation is serious, we might as well put You Si Ming Brew aside first, and come to Lingyin Liu first."
"Head Lin Bufan seems to want to take advantage of Lingyin Liu. He also wants to win a few usage quotas and give cultivation seeds to the sect. Of course, this is all based on the premise of curing Lingyin Liu.
.”
"I think this is totally fine! Of course, it depends on what you mean. After all, the Lingyin Willow was given to you by the God of Wuyin Mountain."
Ning Jiufan suggested this.
What he means is very simple, with two main points.
First, agreeing to such cooperation can reduce the huge pressure on the Ning people in terms of payment.
Second, handing over several usage quotas to Wanyaomen can also extend and deepen the cooperation between the two parties, making the relationship between the two parties stronger, tougher and more lasting.
Ning Zhuo nodded, agreed with Ning Yifan's opinion, and adopted it immediately.
At the same time, he also informed Ning Yifan of Huaguzi's comments.
At this time, Ning Yifan felt confused and weird.
After speculation among the Ning family's ancestors and grandchildren, there was no progress.
"Thoughts have become trivial. It's useless to think too much. It's better to focus on the key points. What do you think?" Ning Jingfan finally said.
Ning Zhuo sighed and nodded helplessly.
He pretended to agree, but in fact he couldn't bear it in his heart.
This strange feeling became more and more serious, and his intuition gradually became stronger - You Si Ming Brewing was a flaw that he accidentally unearthed. The truth buried inside may be very shocking!
That night, Ning Zhuo tossed and turned and had difficulty falling asleep.
In the early morning, he solemnly told Sun Lingtong: "Boss, there is a very important letter that needs you to deliver in person!"
He asked Sun Lingtong to quietly control the Ten Thousand Miles Wandering Dragon, first stay away from the Wanyao Sect, deliberately get rid of the Wanyao Sect's influence, and then send this letter to the capital through the inn in Nandou Kingdom.
That's right, this letter is still addressed to Zhu Xuanji.
It can be imagined that Zhu Xuanji must have been quite surprised when he received this letter. He did not expect that Ning Zhuo would send him a second letter so quickly.
But in fact, even Ning Zhuo himself never thought about writing another letter to Zhu Xuanji so soon.
When Sun Lingtong secretly controlled the Wanli Wandering Dragon and came back again, after Ning Zhuo confirmed it, he brought Guojiao Acacia wine and went to visit Wanyao Cave.
"Brother Linghu, I'm here again!" Ning Zhuo was carrying the wine jar with great interest.
Linghu Jiu also laughed loudly: "Please come quickly, please come quickly."
"Good brother, what good wine did you bring this time?"
Linghu Wine's nose twitched, but he couldn't smell the aroma of the wine. This was all because the wine Zhu Xuanji took out from the royal family's treasury was made with a very sophisticated method. It was made with such rigor and precision that not even a trace of alcoholic odor could escape.
Locked tightly in the wine jar.
Ning Zhuo was not polite. After entering the cave, he sat down directly and placed the wine jar on the stone table.
He patted the wine jar lightly: "Brother Linghu, please let me know for a moment. What kind of wine is this? You'll know later when the jar is opened, right?"
"Where's the punch bowl?"
Chapter completed!
