Chapter 174 The Second Ten Thousand Immortals Summit
On this day, a fire burned down the Zhou Mansion.
The moon was round like a basin, and it happened to be snowing heavily. It seemed as if someone was throwing handfuls of moonlight into the world.
Li Changxiao climbed up to the roof of the Laiqu Inn and looked at the Dawo City. He could vaguely see flickering flames.
He took sips of the liquor.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
Suddenly, there was a noise behind me.
Li Changxiao turned around and found that it was the cook who had always been taciturn. The cook sat down next to him, handed him a jar of wine without saying a word.
Li Changxiao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, took the jar of wine, opened the wax cloth that sealed the jar, and drank it in one gulp. The unique aroma instantly filled his entire mouth. It was the spring and winter plum blossom wine he had dreamed of.
The cook also had a jar. He held the mouth of the jar with one hand and drank from it in big gulps. Neither of them spoke a word. They just drank while looking at the full moon in the sky, with snowflakes falling on their shoulders.
When the wine is almost finished.
The cook then said in a dull voice, "I stole this wine."
Li Changxiao's mouth twitched, and then he continued drinking.
......
Guan Bai was worried, and in the middle of the night, he knocked on Mei Sanniang's door.
Mei Sanniang was only wearing a nightgown as thin as a gauze, which made her look faintly visible and seductive. In the middle of the night, a young, strong and handsome man knocked on the door and came in. She had a playful look on her face and was about to say a few teasing words to him.
But suddenly she saw that Guanbai had a heavy expression. She thought of something, and the playful and charming look on her face instantly disappeared. She asked, "Your appearance? Who is it?"
Guanbai looked grim, "It's Wang Jue."
Mei Sanniang was stunned, and her expression gradually became ugly, "This bet..."
"I will go." Guanbai said solemnly.
After saying goodbye to Mei Sanniang, Guan Bai went straight to the second in command's room.
After knocking gently on the door, the second in command, with a big belly and bloated body, came to open the door.
The second in command pulled the regent into the room, where wine and food had already been prepared. The second in command kept muttering that he had just stolen these wine and food in Dawo City. "We have known each other for so long, but we have never had a good drink together."
The second in command said again that he already knew what the Guanbai wanted to say. Isn't it just a matter of a bet? Among the four bets, only one person has appeared now. There is still a long time before it can be fulfilled. To put it another way, if you can't win, just admit defeat. Neither Mei Sanniang, the second in command, nor the cook will blame you.
As he was talking, the second in command punched the Guanbai and said, "You kid, smile for me."
The Kanpaku was in a better mood. The second in command took out a jar of wine, poured it into full cups, and the two of them drank from opposite cups.
No one sleeps tonight.
The plum blossoms bloom secretly.
The next day.
The five people, including Mei Sanniang, went up the mountain early to appreciate the plum blossoms.
Li Changxiao led the old donkey to the top of the mountain first to see the plum blossoms all over the mountain. Although it was an old scene, he never got tired of it.
Yesterday, the cook's theft of wine was exposed and caught by Mei Sanniang. On the way up the mountain, he was scolded. Mei Sanniang's mouth was really sharp, while the cook was taciturn. The situation was naturally tilted to one side without suspense. It was just a quarrel, and the emphasis was on back and forth, a battle of wits and courage. The boss lady scolded for a long time, but the cook didn't even say a word to refute. What's the difference between this and scolding a piece of wood? Soon the boss lady lost interest completely, holding back her anger, and turned around to scold Guanbai.
He just kept cursing, but he wasn't angry anymore.
Finished watching the snow scene.
Harvested plum blossoms.
Everything remains the same.
The white-robed swordsman was leading a donkey, and his figure was gradually submerged in the wind and snow.
There is no trace left.
Just don’t know.
When will we meet again?
ten years later?
Maybe longer.
Guanbai, Mei Sanniang, the cook and the second in command looked at the footprints left by the swordsman and sighed in their hearts.
"I wish I could be as free and easy as Lao Li." Guan Bai said suddenly.
"Free and easy?" Mei Sanniang shook her head. "He...is not a free and easy person. I am very good at judging people."
"Then what is he?" asked the second in command.
The cook thought for a moment, then said in a mysterious way, "A drunkard who can't keep anything."
"Puh, puh, puh." Mei Sanniang half-jokingly said, "What nonsense are you talking about? He hasn't even left yet and you're already cursing him. This handsome young man still owes me a lot of money."
talking.
Mei Sanniang looked at Guan Bai and pinched his ear with her bony white fingers. Her charming tone suddenly turned fierce and she cursed: "You traitor, don't think I don't know that you just stole two jars of wine from me and secretly put them in his bamboo box."
"Look how I teach you a lesson!"
......
......
The swordsman walked for several miles until the donkey brayed twice, and then he realized that there were two jars of fine wine in the bamboo box.
He felt as if he had found a treasure. He was too embarrassed to ask for wine when he went to the inn. Unexpectedly, Lao Bai secretly took two jars and put them in the bamboo box. He silently remembered the kindness of the waiter, with whom he got along very well, in his heart.
He raised the corners of his mouth, stopped the donkey by the roadside, took out the two jars of fine wine from the bamboo box, placed them flat on the ground, and thought solemnly about what to do with them.
Think about it.
It is better to save it and take a sip whenever he feels craving for it. He carefully put the two jars of wine into the dream space and continued riding his donkey north.
This trip took several months.
Following the old road, we left Qingyu and arrived at Huluzhou in Dingyu. I haven't seen it for ten years. The dangerous mountains and dangerous waters here are still there, and there are still many strange creatures hidden. If there are any changes, there are naturally some. Compared with ten years ago, there are more small villages here, and the villagers make a living by hunting.
Huluzhou is not very big, but the road is difficult to travel on.
After passing Huluzhou, we traveled for more than a month and finally arrived at Wanxian City in Taijizhou. This big city had not been seen for ten years. It had become increasingly large and had a very developed commercial structure.
The most mysterious person in Wanxian City is the patriarch of the Li family. People only know that he is rich enough to rival a country and that most of Wanxian City is his property, but no one has ever seen his true appearance.
Another Ten Thousand Immortals Summit is coming.
Immortals from all over the country disguised themselves as wealthy merchants and visited Wanxian City.
Reform requires communication, especially in the early stages, and requires a lot of reference and comparison.
It is impossible to achieve success by working in isolation, and everyone knows this.
Ten years have passed, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Peak has become more and more perfect. Li Xundao learned from the first lesson and adopted a method of diversion for the visiting immortals. In addition, during the past ten years, he called on the people of the mortal world to build a large-scale project to construct the Ten Thousand Immortals Peak, digging holes and building platforms, setting up mountain pavilions and temples, and providing a place for communication.
The main venue of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit was also moved from the narrow and cramped restaurant compartment to the mountain. The space was much larger, and the ability of the Ten Thousand Immortals City to accommodate foreign monks was also greatly enhanced.
However, there are too many cultivators in the world. If they all rush into Wanxian City at the same time, it will be too much to handle. Li Xundao spent a lot of time thinking about this, and finally decided to extend the opening time of the Wanxian Summit to seven days. This way, it can not only strengthen the in-depth exchanges between cultivators, but also ensure that people are always in circulation, and will not reach a peak at a certain night or at a certain moment.
