It turns out that the Yuhua Square, which stretches hundreds of feet across, the gates of the square and the place where people make daily living are just two gates on both sides of the lane. There are two gates at the end of the lane, and there is a cave in the inner garden.
Between the two gates that isolate the inside and outside, there are lush trees and curtains, all over the zigzag path that is more than ten feet long. The grass on both sides of the path is lush and green, with zero dew and abundant, overflowing with a different kind of vitality.
The temporary exit is a moon cave door with pink walls and black tiles.
From the entrance, you can see a vast bright hall with a radius of forty to fifty feet. In the middle is a golden palace, surrounded by silver platforms, staggered bamboos, and jade steps. There are five or six rocks that are about ten feet high, and the flowing water is gurgling and tinkling.
It's pleasant to the ear. In the third hall, dozens of purple chairs are arranged in staggered rows, with people moving around and the seats filled with distinguished guests.
Gui Wujiu walked in from the circular side door. He didn't seem to notice that there was a bronze lamp with blurred light and shadow hanging on the colorful eaves of the moon cave door.
This copper lamp is in the shape of a hexagonal column, with patterns on each side. The carvings are exquisite but extremely inconspicuous. The moment Gui Wujiu stepped into the hall door, the lamp automatically rotated three times without any wind.
There was a person sitting in the corner outside the Mingtang. He seemed to raise his head accidentally and glanced at the copper lamp.
When everyone in the hall saw Wei Zhengxing arriving with his guests, they all stood up to greet him.
The one at the head was an old man with white hair and boyish face wearing a mountain crown and a unicorn robe. He was in high spirits, with a smile that almost overflowed from the corners of his mouth. He said loudly: "Fellow Gui Dao, as a disciple of Zhenren Qi Dao, he rescued the Breaking Wave Cone for Yu Xuanzong a year ago.
.Who knows about the hundred squares of the immortal market? Such young and handsome people are very much looking forward to meeting each other. Unfortunately, we have a good relationship until today. It's a pleasure to meet, it's a pleasure to meet."
Gui Wujiu quickly thanked him.
Wei Zhengxing introduced: "This person is Elder Jiao Shentu Jiao, one of the Eight True Protectors of the Liuhe Sect. Elder Jiao is an outstanding figure in the Liuhe Sect. He has already reached the third level of Jindan Realm and is expected to achieve Yuan Dynasty within a hundred years.
infant."
Jiao Shetu said repeatedly: "Fellow Daoist Wei is too flattering to me. After all, Liuhe Sect inheritance cannot be compared with Yujing Sect. It is not that you can sit back and relax after passing the "Zhizhi" level."
It's just that although he said he was humble, his face became increasingly red, and it was obvious that he couldn't hide his lust.
Next came an old man who was about fifty years old, with a fair complexion and wearing a long coat. This man's name was He Yugui. He was the guardian elder of the second-class sect "Fen Sect". He was also a second-level Jindan cultivator.
There seemed to be more than ten people greeting and exchanging greetings one by one. Although except for Jiao Shentu and He Yugui, there was no third person above the first level of Jindan. But the rest were all second-class sects.
This is surprising enough for being the face of Zhongqudao North City.
In addition to these twelve golden elixir monks, there are still twenty or thirty spiritual monks left. Most of these people are the family members of a certain golden elixir monk, and there are also a few who deliberately go to this deserted sea to experience something. Return to Wu
Jiu didn't greet him with greetings, he just held his fists in the distance, but he was secretly thinking about the situation on Zhongqu Island.
Suddenly a "hum" sound penetrated into his ears. Gui Wujiu suddenly raised his head.
In the middle of this group of spirit-shaped monks, there was a young man wearing a jade leaf crown and a dark blue shirt, who was facing Gui Wujiu with a fierce fist-pumping, without concealing the hostility in his eyes.
This man has a straight nose, straight facial features, and a handsome face. However, his chin is too pointed and his lips are slightly thin, so his face is not an easy one to get along with.
Gui Wujiu took a glance and saw that this person's Yuan Guang was rich and solid, far surpassing the group of spiritual monks around him. He could almost be similar to the outer disciples of the Yue Heng Sect. He didn't need to think about it to know that he was a somewhat arrogant person. But
But he didn't pay attention to him, just ignored him completely, and followed Wei Zhengxing and others to the table.
This hall is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, like a fan. Although it is transparent inside and out, it is vaguely divided into three levels, each level separated by an arc-shaped staircase.
The innermost floor has the smallest area, with only four seats. Wei Zhengxing, Gui Wujiu and guest are seated separately, and Jiao Shentu and He Yugui are accompanying them.
There are ten seats in the middle one for the first-level golden elixir monks from the other ten second-class sects. As for the first level with a wide outer area, there are twenty or thirty spiritual monks.
In fact, the most important thing is to be the seat of Zhenren Yuanying. However, Zhang Shun's Mansion, Huangfu Qingyun and others did not stay on Zhongqu Island for a long time, but they returned to Rongzhou after three months. And Jin who broke the "Zhizhi" level
Monk Dan himself can be regarded as the future Nascent Soul Master, so he naturally occupies this position.
Sitting at the banquet, Gui Wujiu already understood the purpose of Wei Zhengxing's banquet.
Among the hundreds of sects in Bei City, in addition to Yujing Sect, White Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and Broken Alliance, there are still eighteen second-class sects. As for the remaining 80 or so sects, each one is composed of three members who have formed an alliance.
Wait for the sects to jointly occupy it.
When a guest outside Rongzhou Huanghai hears about the system of the fifth-class sects at first glance, he will subconsciously think that the power of the second-class sects is controlled by the first-class sects, and the relationship between the two is relatively close, and he is free from the fifth-class sects.
The relationship between the Destruction Alliance, Yujing Sect and other forces and the second-class sects is somewhat alienated. What's more, sects such as Qingche Men and Jiulian Palace have a visible cooperative relationship with Yu Xuanzong.
However, the scene in front of me showed that this was not the case.
He is currently considered a sensitive person, and is the focus of contention among three sects including Yu Xuanzong and Yujing Sect. As he takes his seat at the host and guest seats, the twelve second-class sects present at this meeting all express their positions:
They are from this side. Unless Yujingmen conceals their identity and deliberately creates an illusion.
However, this kind of deceit and danger can only be used in emergency situations. It is impossible to realize the value within a strict time difference, but it will never appear in this situation.
Of course, from another perspective, on this fist-sized stage, all the forces that the Yujing Sect can contend with are here. There will definitely not be any forces on the side of the Thirteenth Yujing Sect.
.
Wei Zhengxing clapped his hands and said loudly: "Serve the wine."
After five or six breaths, outside the corridors on both sides, a dozen stout eight-foot-old men in red scarves and short coats filed in, each holding a three-foot-square six-legged cauldron with cicada patterns. These
The powerful man placed the cauldron in front of each seat, then bowed his hands and stepped back.
It is a bit surprising that there is no blame at all. If there is wine presented to the banquet, it is usually a lady with outstanding appearance, holding an exquisite jade plate and a wine flask. If everyone drinks this large pot of wine, it is not
The bells ring and the cauldrons eat, but the wine bags and rice bags are used.
The young man in fine clothes showed surprise when he saw that he was innocent, and immediately sneered. Wei Zhengxing was unaware of the young man's pretense and said with a smile: "This is the "Hidden Void Immortal" brought by our sect Gong Zhenren when he was stationed in Zhongqu Island last year.
"Wine, please come and taste it, Taoist friends."
The waiter stepped forward and opened the lids of the cauldron one by one. Only then did he discover that the interior of the cauldron with cicada patterns was actually a structure similar to that of an ice mirror. A small cauldron about a foot in diameter was hidden in the middle of the cauldron. The cauldron was filled with jade dew and covered the whole body.
It is transparent and like glue, exuding a mellow and fragrant fragrance that is refreshing to the soul. It seems that this is the "Zangxu Fairy Wine" mentioned by Wei Zhengxing.
Such a mellow aroma did not escape at all before the lid of the cauldron was opened. It is extremely rare.
The vast space between the small cauldron and the big cauldron is half filled with green liquid, which is not drinkable at first glance. Four porcelain dishes are embedded in the four corners, and the dishes are filled with four colors of red, green, black and gray powder.
, looks like cinnabar. Each dish contains a small spoon.
Gui Wujiu raised his eyebrows.
Wei Zhengxing explained with a smile: "This "Zangxu Immortal Wine" is the number one famous wine in Rongzhou Xianmen. It's just that its nature is solid, and the five flavors are hidden in Xuji. Although the wine smells thick, you can drink it directly.
But it is as light as water and has no flavor. The wine-warming method of "four assistants and smelting" must be used to stimulate the nature of the wine and turn the emptiness into reality."
The green liquid between the small cauldron and the big cauldron is called "glazed fire". It looks like water and is called fire because four kinds of alum sand are added to it in sequence.
No less powerful than fire, it can activate the alcoholic properties of Zangxu Immortal Wine.
First add three spoons of red Chilun sand, and the glazed fire will change from warm to hot; after half an hour, add two spoons of Caolan sand, and the fire will change from hot to cool; after half an hour, add one spoon of Xichen sand, and the fire will change from cool.
Turn to ice; add a spoonful of white crystal sand after another half an hour, and the fire property changes from ice to extremely hot. After repeated refinement and changes, the taste of "Zangxu Fairy Wine" is finally achieved.
The beauty of this No. 1 wine doesn’t stop there. The amount of cinnabar and the length of time in the first round are the best sequences that have been adjusted over thousands of years and cannot be messed up at all. But when the wine is finished and the drinker drinks it, the
You can add four kinds of cinnabar to the "glazed fire" at will, just like adding firewood to the stove, as you wish. The taste of "Zangxu Fairy Wine" will also change endlessly accordingly.
After listening to Wei Zhengxing's explanation, Gui Wujiu nodded, and followed everyone's actions, adding three spoonfuls of red cinnabar to the "glazed fire". Sure enough, the green liquid began to boil in the blink of an eye, and the temperature rose rapidly visible to the naked eye.
The young man in rich clothes said loudly: "It should be noted that "Zangxu Immortal Wine" is the number one wine in Rongzhou Immortal Sect. No matter whether you have drunk it or not, you are always clear about the wine warming technique of "Sizuo Burning". That is not the case.
It’s not enough to be called knowledgeable.”
Gui Wujiu smiled calmly, but he had no time to fight with an idle person.
He Yugui said with a smile as if to smooth things over: "The vast land of the desert sea should be shared by all factions. If any one of them has the intention of annexing it alone, it will definitely be difficult to succeed." As soon as he said this, the other ten or so families were stunned.
All the Jindan monks echoed.
Gui Wujiu nodded with a smile and did not respond; He Yugui also smiled reservedly and said no more. Both sides stopped after nodding.
He Yugui's words were not seeking Gui Wujiu's approval, or asking him to express his position. In fact, they were just stating their position: they knew the purpose of today's banquet, and they voluntarily stood on the side of Yujingmen. It was regarded as blocking Gui Wujiu.
Possible doubts in the mind.
After chatting for a while, the four rounds of medicine were added, and the aroma of "Zangxu Immortal Wine" became more and more intense.
Jiao Shentu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Your honor, please use it."
At this time, the young man in rich clothes said loudly: "Famous wines such as Zangxu Immortal Wine, with the adjustment of alum and sand, can be considered as entering the palace after tasting the various changes. Those who drink it for the first time may not be able to fully understand the secrets, and most of them will just waste natural resources.
That’s all.”
Gui Wugui turned a deaf ear and poured a full glass of Zixia's wine glass. First he took a sip and then drank it all.
Wei Zhengxing smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"
Gui Wujiu secretly judged that this Zangxu Xianjiu was mellow and smooth, thick and medium-hidden, and its taste was light and heavy, with all the flavors flowing. It was indeed worthy of being the first wine in Rongzhou. But when it came to high quality and purity, it was not as good as "
"Mist Curtain Silk" is strong and powerful, with endless power.
Putting down the Zixia wine glass gently, Gui Wujiu said calmly: "It's okay."
