Chapter 013 Fire Tears City Three Times Old Wine Worm
Meng She smiled slightly and said: "Don't be afraid, I was attracted by the aroma of this wine, and I also want to drink it! By the way, stay here for a few nights, I have no relatives or friends in the City of Tears of Fire."
"How many nights are you staying here?!" Puxin couldn't help but froze, and muttered: "This is not an inn."
"Hehe, I was right as expected. You are here for my granddaughter... uh~" The old wine bug burped again, laughed, and looked Meng Sheng up and down, "Look, this outfit is amazing.
You are not someone who has no money to live in an inn. You are so handsome and handsome, and you are worthy of my Puxin! Since you know that this wine is called Jasper Daigo, you must be a person who knows wine. I guess there is a lot of good wine at home, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Grandpa!" Pu Xin glanced at Meng She, her cheeks turned half rosy, showing a hint of shyness, "Wine, I know wine..."
Meng She explained to the old drunkard: "Haha, if the old man likes wine, She'er will definitely get some jars for you someday!"
"Go to work!" Puxin threw the rag to Meng She. "Although this is not an inn, you don't have to live in vain. You have to work hard. Then, then, wipe it clean over there, and over there
…”
Little Gu, the blue fox, was very happy. He was jumping around in the yard, shouting "Gu Chi! Gu Chi!" and kept shouting.
"You've had enough wine. Boy, how many games of chess will you play with me? If you beat me one game, Puxin will let you kiss me on the lips. Isn't this an attractive condition?" the old man said in a bad way.
"Grandpa!" Puxin stamped her feet angrily.
"Isn't this the endgame of one of the four famous games in Jianghu..." Meng She looked at the layout on the chessboard and started playing chess with the old man.
After a while, the old man was already sweating on his forehead, and was forced to retreat step by step, "Good boy, you have studied the four famous games quite deeply, but if you want to kiss Puxin, you are not warm enough."
"Hey, why, when did you get this extra 'rook' and two 'pawns'?!" Meng She reacted suddenly, "You've done something wrong, what a shame!"
The winter moon is thick with fog, the north wind is cold and clearing the bones, and you can't help but stay under the fence.
Under Pu Xin's urging, within two hours, Meng She cleaned the Fu Gua Temple from top to bottom, making the inside and outside of the house spotless.
"Puxin, why are you taking the quilt to the woodshed? I've cleaned the floor, so you don't have to feel ashamed. Can you sleep in the woodshed?" Meng She saw Puxin holding the quilt in her room and walking to the woodshed, "That's too polite...
…”
"You are the one who sleeps in the woodshed. You can continue cleaning it so clean tomorrow! Stop, stop, don't interrupt, you don't want to..." Pu Xin paused, "Don't want to... cover yourself with a quilt, right? Then don't force it.
,snort!"
"Squeak!" There was a sound of the woodshed closing, and before Meng She could say a few words, Puxin locked Meng She into the woodshed, held the quilt and left.
Meng She, who was holding the blue fox Xiaogu, shook his head and smiled bitterly, but his mood was quite happy. How great it would be to live such a simple and leisurely life forever.
This joy in his heart has never happened since Zang Da's country was in chaos. Every time he felt sad and helpless, this long-lost joy was of great help to his improvement in cultivation.
In the middle stage of building an immortal, he didn't need to sleep at all. He used the supreme mental method of "Huainan Tianshu" in his mind as a method to regulate the energy in his body, and studied Du Yitian's "Forbidden Hands of Mie Luo".
"The Taoist man covers the sky and the earth, outlines all directions, and has eight poles. He is immeasurably high and unfathomable. He wraps up the heaven and the earth and imparts formlessness. The original flowing spring is strong, rushing and slowly filling; it is muddy and slippery, turbid and then clearing.
...Therefore, plant it and block it in the sky and the earth, spread it across the four seas; give it endlessly, but no day or night; stretch it out in the six places, roll it up and not fill it in one hand.
Weak can be strong, soft can be hard, horizontally four-dimensional and contains yin and yang, and the universe is composed of three lights. It is very soft and dark, very thin and subtle... Mountains are so high, abyss are so deep, animals can walk on it, and birds can use it.
It flies, the sun and the moon shine, the star calendar travels, the lin travels, the phoenix soars..." [Quotes from the original Taoist teachings of "Huainanzi".
The energy in the Mengshe meridian is like a mountain spring and a stream that merges into a river, like a lake or a lake flowing into the sea, gradually turning into a powerful wave, rolling and tumbling. Du Huainan is the son of Du Yitian.
Meng She has a feeling that the exercises in "Huainan Heavenly Book" were originally created for practicing "Mieluo Forbidden Hands". "Mieluo Forbidden Hands" is too esoteric and difficult to understand, and "Huainan Heavenly Book" can just serve as an annotation.
purpose.
The glow is brilliant and the light is stunningly beautiful.
Under the snow-like moonlight, outside the firewood shed of Fu Gua Temple, the rainbow of colorful divine light is misty.
That was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was constantly gathered during Meng She's cultivation.
Meng She discovered that most of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that seeped into his body was merged with the flesh and blood soul of the totem war beast Canglong Bizhou, and the totem's combat power was gradually increasing!
"Husbands and fishes forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and people forget each other in Taoism... [This quote comes from "Huainanzi" Chu Zhenzhen.]" Suddenly, the voice of the old wine bug rang in Meng She's ears, causing Meng She's mind to meditate on its own.
Break away and come out.
"Oh!" Meng She fully recovered from the injuries caused by Suxi's "Beichen Heavenly Sword" attack, and achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, entering the late stage of immortal transformation.
Opening his eyes, he let out a soft whistle, and the sound wave shattered the roof, wall and door of the woodshed.
When the dust ruins were gone, Meng She found that the originally cold Fu Gua Temple was crowded with people inside and outside, making it extremely noisy.
It was still early in the morning, but the old wineworm was busy making fortune-telling and making talismans. His business was not ordinary.
What surprised Meng She even more was that when a group of pilgrims saw him after he shattered the woodshed, they all knelt on the ground, kowtowed and prayed for blessings, with pious expressions and murmuring words.
"Auspiciousness descends from heaven!"
"The Great Immortal Appears!"
"..."
Seeing the splendid spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipating around him, Meng She suddenly understood that after seeing this, these pilgrims must have regarded themselves as immortals descended from the earth.
Meng She, who was in the late stage of establishing the Immortal Realm in the Immortal Slough Realm, was indeed a great immortal. However, the huge crowds of people came in too fast from night to early morning.
"Young ghost laugh, don't think that because you kidnapped so many pilgrims, I will not care about your unforgivable crime of not cleaning the house for two nights, huh!" Pu Xin led Meng She into the back court and scolded her angrily.
Concealing a hint of joy that business is booming.
"Two nights?!" Meng She was surprised. He didn't expect that he had been practicing for such a short period of time. Two days had passed. No wonder there were so many pilgrims crowded outside.
Old Jiu Chong's sentence "Husbands and fishes forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and people forget each other in Taoism", which really corresponds to Meng She's situation of forgetting time because of Taoism.
Meng She secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, it was only two days. If it had been three days, today would have been the day of peace talks. Shen Qingxu and Fuxu Huan should have arrived at Fire Tears City. "Pu Xin, I have something to do today.
"
"No!" Pu Xin frowned, bit her jade teeth, and vetoed, "There are so many pilgrims outside, you have to take good care of them today, and don't want to go anywhere! It's not that there is no place to live in the City of Tears without relatives or friends.
Well, if you have something to do, if you want to be lazy, go to work! Be smart, hurry, hurry..."
"You are abusing a beautiful boy. You will definitely get retribution by marrying an ugly one!" Meng She cursed loudly and suffered a beating from Pu Xin.
It's noon in the morning, and the white sun is warm.
The crowds are overwhelming, and there are mountains of pilgrims.
Since Mengshe and the others were in the Fu Gua Temple, they were crowded and crowded, and they were five or six miles long.
The auspicious omens were rumored to be so miraculous that within half a day they had become gods who were here to grant blessings and bring blessings, attracting pilgrims flocking to the place like butterflies and bees.
There are many pilgrims in the outer circle who don't even know why the huge crowd is gathering. They don't care why. Just because they see many people queuing, they follow suit and join in the fun.
The common people are so eager to follow the crowd!
At dusk, the sand is numb, and the candle lights are first lit.
The crowd shows no sign of subsiding. Apart from pilgrims, many people who make a living by fortune-telling, fortune-telling and fortune-telling also join this crowded crowd.
"Ah woo~" The Canglong horn of Zang Da's army sounded at the beacon tower of Fire Tears City, and then the beacon towers connected together.
The tone of the Canglong's horn rotated, "Empty City Curfew~" "Empty City Curfew~" "Empty City Curfew~"... the sound resounded throughout the city, and the long crowds heard it and quickly dispersed like a tidal wave when the embankment burst. Houses were closed and temples were closed.
It's closing time and pilgrims are leaving.
An hour later, the noisy and bustling City of Tears of Fire was filled with a solemn and silent atmosphere.
The Empty City Curfew was a desperate order issued by the Zangda Dynasty and implemented in the City of Tears of Fire. It was used during the period when the Zangda Dynasty offered sacrifices to the founder of the country, Zangda Tiangu.
Anyone who is still walking outdoors in the streets of the city an hour after the order is issued will be regarded as treason and will be killed!
This curfew in the empty city is obviously intended to discuss peace and sacrifice tomorrow.
In the more than 7,480 years of the Zangda Dynasty, this was the first time that a nighttime curfew in an empty city was issued.
It takes two or three hours to travel from Zangda Imperial City to Fire Tears City. The early morning announcement is enough to prepare before the arrival of the Zangda Royal Family who come to Fire Tears City to offer sacrifices.
After a busy day, the old alcoholic became addicted to alcohol. As soon as the crowd dispersed, he ran to the cellar, raised the altar, drank and fell asleep.
Pu Xin was focused on piles of money and had no time to encourage Meng She to do odd jobs.
Meng She set up a table and stool and fell into a deep sleep.
He had an intuition that after tonight, the world might never sleep again!
Xiaogu, the blue fox, snuggled up next to Meng She obediently, emitting a burst of sapphire blue light.
The winter fog is thick with smoke, the ice is cold, and the first light is rising.
At sunrise in the City of Tears of Fire, the whole city is filled with cold dew, which creates a particularly artistic conception.
"Uh~" The wine belched, and the stench continued, making Meng She open his eyes.
Meng She touched it and found that he was covered with a thick quilt.
He remembered that this was Pu Xin's quilt.
"Why do you want to indulge in drunkenness all day long?" The old alcoholic sitting on the steps, with puffy sleepy eyes and the smell of alcohol all over his body. The drunkenness last night has not subsided. When he woke up early in the morning, he picked up the wine jar and continued drinking. Meng She asked in a blurt.
.
"I thought that waking up drunk can reduce the daily sadness~" the old wine bug murmured, raising the wine jar and taking another sip, "The city is under curfew and there are no pilgrims. It's a good time to drink, hehehe
…”
Meng She was startled, "I thought that waking up drunk can reduce the sadness every day." Such a sad and sentimental sentence, I am afraid that only people like the old wine bug who are still alive after so many years can say it casually.
Statements like this.
Meng She: "Old man, can you sell me a few talismans?"
"You want to buy a talisman from me?" The old wine man was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "You brat, you want to buy a marriage talisman, right? You want to buy a marriage talisman between you and Puxin, right? Hehe, you're such a naughty boy.
Wan pointed at me, the grandfather, right... Puxin is a poor child who was abandoned by refugees during the famine. I raised her with great difficulty, so I have to find a home that can give her happiness, and I can't just leave it to others.
, you seem to be just passable in the past two days, continue to perform well..."
"You misunderstood!" Meng She defended repeatedly, "What I want to buy is not a marriage charm, and I have never had the slightest idea about Puxin!"
"What, you haven't even had the slightest thought about Puxin?!" the old drunkard yelled, and the wine instantly sprayed all over Meng She's face, saying: "I'm not bragging, my Puxin is no worse than other girls.
If she participates in the palace draft, she will definitely win the title of top three oiran..."
"That's not what I meant, I..." Meng She was speechless for a moment. He studied in Guoshuyuan, and his eloquence in Warring States Hall was not uncommon, but when it came to such a matter of children's love, he couldn't help but speak.
No words.
"It's fine if it's not!" The old wine bug glanced at Meng She and saw the embarrassment on his face. A smile couldn't help but flow out of his mouth. He took a sip of wine and said, "Then what talisman do you want? My own talisman is useful.
Generally speaking, but I know the talismans of various Fu Gua temples in Fire Tears City quite well, and I can guide you where to buy them. As long as you can get me good enough wine..."
Meng She said seriously: "I want to buy a talisman that can kill totem war beasts!"
"Pfft~ The talisman that kills the totem war beast?!!" The old wine bug spit out the wine in his mouth as soon as he drank it, "What totem war beast? What is that? Is it a good brewing material..."
Meng She: "What is a totem war beast? You, a man of God who has lived from ancient times to this world, should know better than me, right?"
"That brat's nonsense is getting more and more outrageous!" The old wine bug said with an ignorant look on his face, "What totem war beast, what ancient god..."
Meng She: "Is Du Yitian's Qiongyao Tianye a good wine?"
"Ah, Qiongyao Tianye!!! Good wine, that is definitely the best wine among good wines!" The old wine bug drooled, rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe and wiped his mouth, "Pah!" He slapped his forehead, "Ah, drinking will cause trouble.
, old man, I was exposed!"
This old drunkard was none other than the old god that Meng She had seen in Du Yitian's past life, selling magic talismans by the Mingji Well in Muxie Tucheng.
