When Guo Xiaoyi heard that Mu Yun was about to heat up the bronze cauldron before lifting it, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Are you kidding me? If this cauldron is heated up, who would dare to touch it? Aren't they afraid of being cooked into meat?"
Mu Yun said calmly: "Since it is said to be a gambling fight, it is natural that both parties have to reach an agreement. Now both the competition and the lottery have been left to the discretion of Brother Guo. I just made a small request and it was immediately rejected.
This shows that Brother Guo really has no sincerity, so let’s just not compete.”
Guo Xiaoyi's face turned red and he said with dissatisfaction: "You clearly don't dare to challenge and deliberately shirk it. How can you rely on me?"
Before Mu Yun could answer, he heard Ji Guanliang say in a deep voice: "Second Senior Brother, please be patient for a moment. Come over here and I will teach you how to do it."
Guo Xiaoyi knew that this junior brother was always resourceful, so he quickly approached him as he was told. The two of them bit their ears and talked for a while, but when they saw that the sadness on Guo Xiaoyi's face had disappeared, he put his hands together and laughed and said: "Okay! What a good idea, junior brother! Then follow the instructions of Mu
The young hero wants to bet!"
Mu Yun felt a little surprised, paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "Brother Guo is so courageous, so why don't I be respectful and obey my orders? Well... let's get firewood to start the fire."
Now that the decision was finalized, no one hesitated, and a moment later a blazing flame ignited under the bronze tripod.
Everyone was standing side by side, their whole bodies were being heated to the point of being unbearably hot. In the swaying light of the fire, the glutton on the cauldron seemed to be alive, clearly showing its teeth and claws, ready to devour anyone of its choosing.
Although Guo Xiaoyi had good intentions, he felt his palms sweating at this moment. He looked at Mu Yun anxiously and said, "The fire is getting louder, can we start?"
Mu Yun nodded slightly and said, "It's almost done indeed. How about asking Brother Guo to try his skills first?"
Guo Xiaoyi got what he wanted, and stepped out with a show of humiliation. However, he did not go to the bronze tripod in front of him, but to the woodshed next to him.
Xiao Lei was very surprised when he saw this, and quickly raised his voice: "Hey, Big Pot, if you are afraid, just say so. What does it mean to back down in the face of battle?"
Guo Xiaoyi turned a deaf ear and walked straight into the woodshed. After a while, he turned back and stepped out, holding a wooden stake as thick as a bowl in each hand, with a look of determination on his face.
After all, Xiaolei is an exquisite person with seven orifices, and after a moment's thought, he understood the truth. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said: "What a stupid little trick, you actually wrapped the steps of a stone with leaves, huh... it's really shameless and obscene."
Ji Guan Liangjun blushed slightly and simply ignored it. At this moment, he saw Guo Xiaoyi striding up to the front of the bronze tripod and putting two wooden stakes through the two ears of the tripod respectively.
Then Guo Xiaoyi put one end of the wooden stake on his shoulder, gathered all his strength, shouted violently, exerted force on his arms, and lifted the bronze tripod upside down!
Although he was lucky enough to escape the burning pain, Guo Xiaoyi still felt short of breath when the scorching cauldron hit his head. When he tried his best to hold on, his face was already red from holding back, and his teeth were clenching. Everyone was stunned.
I couldn't help but sweat for him.
Ji Guanliang knew that Guo Xiaoyi could not hold on for long, so he hurriedly said to Mu Yun: "I dare to ask Brother Mu, this means that my second senior brother has been lifted up. Do you accept it or not?"
Mu Yun had a look of approval on his face, and he nodded immediately and said: "Brother Guo is so powerful, Brother Ji is so resourceful, I am truly convinced."
Ji Guanliang was immediately relieved and hurriedly greeted: "Brother Mu has given up, Second Senior Brother, please put it down!"
To Guo Xiaoyi, this sound was no less than the sound of nature. He gritted his teeth and simply twisted his waist, let go and rushed forward at the same time.
This move made the golden cicada escape from its shell beautifully, but the bronze tripod was actually smashed down. There was a loud cracking sound in the huge earthquake, and the two wooden stakes were broken on the spot.
Everyone suddenly felt a turmoil under their feet, like a bull turning over, and the power was extraordinary.
Guo Xiaoyi took a long breath, cupped his fist towards Mu Yun and said, "I'm just a master, let's give in."
This man's words were modest, but his face clearly meant something different. Mu Yun smiled slightly, returned his hand and said, "Brother Guo, don't be impatient. I haven't tried it yet, so it would be too early to accept it now."
Guo Xiaoyi was immediately stunned, and said with doubt on his face: "You want to try too? How can you lift it up? Well... I think Brother Mu should not force himself to do it. It's not worth it if you hurt your body because of your anger."
Mu Yun still smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Guo, but a true man will never lose when he loses to others. Even if he has a weak sense of self-awareness, I still have to give it a try and finally be willing to accept it. Otherwise, shouldn't I be ridiculed by everyone?"
Guo Xiaoyi's expression softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you can try, but don't blame me for not reminding you."
After Mu Yun said he knew, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind him, and then Han Huixin's angry voice came: "You naughty children, you are still here all day long, do you really want to go to the house to unveil the tiles? Ah...
Don't blame me, Mr. Mu, the little girl didn't say anything about you."
Mu Yun coughed lightly and said, "Miss Han is serious. In fact, I proposed to imitate the ancients and use this bronze tripod to cook wine as a show."
Han Huixin choked immediately, and suddenly heard Mu Yun say: "By the way, I wonder if there is good sorghum wine somewhere. The ancients used Jiu Jue to cook wine and drink it. Bronzeware and sorghum wine are a perfect match."
Han Huixin couldn't laugh or cry, but she still nodded and said: "Young Master Mu is indeed elegant, and of course he has good wine. Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, come with me to the wine cellar."
When the Guo brothers heard that Mu Yun was conceited and resigned, they just thought that he had admitted defeat, and naturally they all obeyed his orders out of joy.
In a short while, all the jars of fine wine were poured into the cauldron. The fire was burning and a mist was steaming. The rich aroma of the wine was refreshing.
Han Huixin took the wine glasses and distributed them to everyone. As her nose twitched, she nodded and praised: "Young Master Mu is really smart. It has been half a year since we dug up this big cauldron. We only treat it as a decoration, but we didn't expect it to be there."
Such a wonderful effect."
"Ahem... the wine is almost cooked now, so I'll get a long spoon and scoop it out for everyone to share."
After hearing this, Mu Yun waved his hand and said, "Miss Han, wait a minute, I've received a lot of hospitality today, so I should express my gratitude to the host, so I'll do my best to share the wine with you."
Han Huixin was not willing to comply, but when she was about to say something to dissuade her, she saw Mu Yun walking up to the bronze tripod and reciting loudly: "Singing to wine, life is like a dew in the morning, and there will be many hardships in the past. Generosity should be used with generosity and worry.
It’s unforgettable that Du Kang is the only one who can relieve my worries.”
The tone of the chant gradually became lower, and it was clear that he was worried. At this time, Xiao Lei coughed and said: "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is like blue silk."
Twilight becomes snow."
Mu Yun seemed to be stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "To be successful in life, you must have all the joy. Don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. By nature, my talents will be useful, and I will come back after all the gold."
Famous articles from all over the ages were written all over the place. Suddenly, Mu Yun reached out with both arms and firmly grasped the ears of the bronze cauldron. With his true strength, the ancient bronze cauldron rose up from the sky in an instant!
The wind helps the fire, the cauldron cooks the delicious mash, and the intoxicating fragrance spreads around. It is the time to drink happily.
