Great Conflict Peak, Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
"Hahaha, the wise brother is here!" Linghujiu laughed, walked out of the cave, took Ning Zhuo's arm, and entered the cave.
After the negotiation, Wanyao Sect, Ning Family, Zhu Family and Linlang Yingzhaobi formed a secret alliance. As a result, the relationship between Linghujiu and Ning Zhuo became much closer.
Linghujiu himself has a lot of affection for Ning Zhuo, and now the alliance is so close that the former regards the latter as one of his own.
Ning Zhuo walked into the cave and found that Lin Shanshan was there.
"Miss Lin." He saluted quickly.
Lin Shanshan also smiled at Ning Zhuo. Although she complained about Ning Zhuo's recent actions, after being invited by Linghu Jiu, she also knew that this was Ning Zhuo's farewell banquet, so she attended the party with complicated emotions.
A banquet.
The dishes at the banquet were very exquisite, and they were all selected by Lin Shanshan herself.
But Linghujiu and Ning Zhuo's thoughts were not here.
Linghu Jiu brought a wine jar and showed it to Ning Zhuo with great interest: "This is the wine I brewed myself using the water from Peach Blossom Pond."
"Peach Blossom Pond?" Ning Zhuo asked and found out that this deep pool was the one under the waterfall near Ten Thousand Demons Cave.
Lin Shanshan introduced: "At a certain time every year, the peach blossom forest in the upper reaches is in full bloom. The peach blossoms float in the wind, follow the water flow, waterfall, and finally merge into the deep pool. The peach blossoms and the pool water reflect each other, which is exactly what the peach blossoms are drifting with.
The wind dances, and thousands of reds and purples flow into the water. The white waterfall flows with a sound like a piano, and the flower-faced jade pool reflects the blue sky."
Ning Zhuo then smiled at Lin Shanshan and said, "Today I found out that the deep pool where Miss Lin and I met for the first time is called Peach Blossom Pool."
Lin Shanshan was startled by these words, and her thoughts seemed to go back to the time when she and Ning Zhuo met for the first time.
The dead are like this, so many days have passed!
Time passes too fast.
In a blink of an eye, they will be separated from each other.
Suddenly, a feeling of reluctance to say goodbye rippled through Lin Shanshan's heart, and her resentment towards Ning Zhuo was instantly eliminated.
Linghujiu started to pour the wine and proudly introduced it: "My dear brother, I learned that this wine is called Peach Blossom Three Thousand."
"It is made from peach blossom petals during the spring equinox every year, as well as the clear spring under the Peach Blossom Pond, plus Brother Yu's special distiller's yeast, brewed using ancient methods, and fermented for at least three years before it is considered complete."
Ning Zhuo looked intently and saw that the color of Peach Blossom Three Thousand Wine was crystal clear, with a hint of light pink, just like the first blooming peach blossoms. When poured into the wine bowl, the wine was clear and slightly rippled, as if it were the deep pool of peach blossoms.
.
He raised the wine bowl, clinked glasses with Linghu wine and Lin Shanshan, took a sip, and felt strange.
Peach Blossom Three Thousand brings a unique sweetness, as if biting off a fresh peach blossom, with a hint of elegant floral fragrance in the sweetness.
Afterwards, the wine spreads on the tip of the tongue, full and mellow, with a hint of cool pond water, making it endlessly memorable.
Ning Zhuo shook his head and immediately praised: "Good wine, the wine has a delicate and long taste. It has the mellowness of old wines, but also has the fresh and elegant floral fragrance. The wine is moderately strong, and I got drunk without realizing it."
"
Linghu Jiu laughed: "The wine is just ordinary, but I added something to the wine to make it good."
An idea flashed in Ning Zhuo's mind, and he blurted out: "Could it be a ten thousand-year water spirit?"
Linghujiu clapped his hands and laughed: "My dear brother is smart, he can understand with just one point."
Ning Zhuo was speechless.
He had previously rented two shares of his Ten Thousand Years Water Essence from Wanyao Sect, and was still wondering where the share of Linghu Wine had gone.
Linghu Jiu is the first disciple and the first candidate to be the future leader. It is quite strange that the Ten Thousand Years Water Essence is extremely useful to the entire Wanyao Sect, yet he does not use it.
Unexpectedly, he actually used it to make wine!
Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "Wine, wine, wine, I drink all day long. Do you know that my father is very disappointed with you, senior brother, regarding this matter?"
Linghujiu touched his nose, sneered, and said: "Shanshan, you don't understand. Why did your father name me Linghujiu back then? He has far-reaching plans, so he naturally knew that wine
It means a lot to me, so I specially reminded me of it.”
"Haha, Master didn't force me to hand over the Ten Thousand Years Water Essence. He agreed with my choice. It's useless for you to say it again."
These words made Lin Shanshan roll her eyes.
Ning Zhuo quickly raised his wine bowl, clinked glasses with the two of them, and said a few funny words to lighten the atmosphere.
The two sides exchanged glasses for a while, and Ning Zhuo cast his sincere eyes on Linghujiu and Lin Shanshan, sighing: "Brother Linghujiu is like a deep pool, high-spirited and upright, able to absorb waterfalls without overflowing, deep and steady, he is my confidant in wine."
"Miss Lin is as beautiful as a peach blossom, charming, helpful, and kind-hearted. In the past, my younger brother acted recklessly, kidnapped Miss Lin, and kept dealing with your father. I feel really guilty."
Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "After hearing these words, you still have some conscience."
Linghujiu laughed loudly: "Everyone is his own master and fighting for interests is normal. Fighting without breaking up, fighting peacefully, and falling into the current dark alliance is the best result. This is ours
Fate is also the result of our respective efforts."
When Ning Zhuo heard this, he was even more moved.
He knew very well that in the previous difficult negotiations in Linlang's Reflection Wall, Linghujiu not only safeguarded his own interests, but also tried his best to help him, build relationships, and comforted Lin Bufan many times.
On the contrary, it was Lin Shanshan, the girl who had helped Ning Zhuo a lot in the past. When she intervened in the negotiation, she was like a sharp sword, stabbing Ning Zhuo repeatedly.
Under the noses of the sages and dharma bodies, and in front of Zhu Xuanji, Shen Lingshu, and Lin Bufan, Ning Zhuo was not so bold as to use the supernatural power of hanging human lives.
But he understood Lin Shanshan very well.
Fortunately, the results are good.
Now that the negotiations have come to fruition, the relationship between Wanyaomen and the Ning family has never been closer, and the relationship between Ning Zhuo, Lin Shanshan, and Linghujiu has also locked a very high limit.
"Come, drink!" Ning Zhuo raised the wine bowl again.
Linghujiu laughed.
Lin Shanshan remained silent and raised her wine bowl in response.
The three of them tasted wine and talked about the future.
Ning Zhuo asked Linghujiu about Linlang's feelings about killing the demon reflected in the wall.
In the past few days, Linghujiu was still "confined" in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, but in fact, his true body often secretly went to the quasi-immortal weapon to engage in life-and-death battles with many monsters.
Linghu Jiu talked about the dangers of war, but he also tempered himself very much, and he could clearly feel that his combat power was rising steadily. It used to be like a rough stone, but now it is polished. Under the huge external pressure, various
Spells, sword skills, etc. were severely compressed, resulting in a lot of insights, many useless moves were eliminated, and the battle rhythm became faster and faster.
"It's a pity that my dear brother has other important matters and is in a hurry to leave the valley. Otherwise, it would be a happy life for us to kill monsters side by side and drink together after the battle!"
Ning Zhuo was very moved by what he said. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he sighed: "If I have time in the future, I will definitely practice with Brother Xian. I feel so happy just thinking about it now!"
"
Linghujiu laughed loudly and drank three large bowls with Ning Zhuo.
Lin Shanshan:......
At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was a little redundant.
Linghujiu's face turned red, he breathed the smell of alcohol, and held Ning Zhuo's arm: "Brother Xian, before I leave, I must leave your image."
"In the future, when I miss my wise brother, I will talk to the image freely, so that I can ease the worry of my foolish brother."
"Brother Yu can also bring his image with him to kill enemies and demons many times. Brother Yu will return to the valley in the future, and maybe you will be greatly surprised by the rich loot, hahaha."
Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "This is what I have in mind!"
Lin Shanshan: "However, Senior Brother, it seems that you don't have much time to stay in the valley. I heard my father accidentally mention that he wants you to personally lead the team to Fire Persimmon City to survey the battlefield in advance."
Linghujiu's smile faded slightly and he sat down again. He looked at the two of them and nodded, "Master did reveal this idea to me."
The real reason why Linghujiu was always punished and imprisoned by Lin Bufan was that Lin Bufan wanted to use this to infiltrate the Linlang Reflecting Wall. By the way, by punishing Linghujiu for shielding his fellow juniors and juniors, he would increase the fame and popularity of his first disciple.
Now, Linghujiu has known the truth, and Lin Bufan has also fully realized that the importance of the quasi-immortal weapon cannot be planned by him alone.
In addition, in the covenant, Ning Zhuo had already negotiated terms with Lin Bufan and successfully invited Lin Bufan to the Fire Persimmon Fairy City to help out!
That's right.
In the next period of time, Lin Bufan will actively prepare for war and help Ning Yifan and Yuan Lao to fight for the Ten Thousand Years Fire Essence.
As for Grandma Yuan's injury, it has been taken over by the royal Zhu family and they are doing their best to heal it as soon as possible.
Linghujiu said in a deep voice: "This battle needs to be done with caution. If it is not handled properly and Grandma Yuan of the Ning family is damaged, then the Ning family and the royal family's control over Fire Persimmon City and Lava Immortal Palace will be weakened by half.
.”
After the alliance was formed, the Wanyao Sect also had a true understanding of the layout of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City.
But it's not complete yet.
Ning Zhuo's preservation of the dragon fire spirit has always been a secret, and even Ning Yifan doesn't know about it.
Regarding Ning Zhuo's secret possession of my Buddha Heart Demonic Seal, Zhu Xuanji also took the initiative to keep this secret, and only a limited number of people, including the King of Nandou, knew about it.
"I have decided to go to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City." Linghu Jiu said, "My dear brother, why do you teach me?"
Ning Zhuo smiled and was well prepared. He handed over a jade slip, which contained detailed information about the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace.
Linghu Jiu's spiritual consciousness penetrated and found that many information became clearer, especially the understanding of the Lava Immortal Palace, which was very in-depth and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"With this jade slip, I have been more than half successful in exploring the battlefield. Thank you very much, dear brother!"
Ning Zhuo waved his hands quickly and said a few words of self-effacement.
He turned his head, looked at Lin Shanshan, and asked the latter to help take care of Lingyin Liu. He would send letters from time to time, begging Lin Shanshan to reply and inform Lingyin Liu of its status.
Lin Shanshan nodded and agreed.
Ning Zhuo observed her words and expressions, and seeing that she was in a good mood, he took the next step and said: "That Huaguzi specializes in wood walking skills. I will arrange for her to be stationed here. On the one hand, it means that I will also take care of Lingyin Liu, and on the other hand, it will help my people to be successful."
Stationed at Xiaozhengfeng."
Lin Shanshan frowned immediately.
"Hua Guzi?" She didn't have much affection for this crazy woman.
Ning Zhuo showed a hint of sarcasm: "This female cultivator has a weird temperament. She is extremely...close to me and wants to rely on me. If I don't find something for her to do, I'm afraid she will search for me all over the world."
"And she is very powerful. Not only is she capable of fighting, but she is also proficient in cooking."
"Oh, I asked her for advice at the beginning, and then I learned that Yousi Mingjiang is fake wine."
Having said this, Linghujiu immediately spoke up and defended his mentor: "My dear brother, what you said is wrong. Yousi Mingniang is definitely not a fake wine."
"It has a unique taste and is a fine wine, but the recipe is not outstanding."
"It can indeed make it easier for me to communicate with the Dharmakayas of the sages in the Linlang Reflection Wall. Didn't Brother Ning Zhuo also benefit from this in the first place?"
Ning Zhuo had no intention of starting such a dispute with Linghu Jiu, so he immediately raised his wine bowl and said, "I made a mistake, I will punish myself with a drink!"
Lin Shanshan showed a smile and gritted her teeth and said: "You really deserve to be punished."
Linghu Jiu laughed loudly and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "Is this a punishment or a reward?"
Chapter completed!
