Chapter 185 All the saints died, the drinker left his name, the mythical beast Bai Ze
The sun sets.
In the vast Kunlun Mountains, above the sea of clouds, the sunset at Yuxu Peak is majestic and spectacular.
In a separate courtyard at the top of the mountain, Luo He opened the door and walked out, turned around and thanked him again:
"Thank you for the information, Master Lu Chang'an."
"Just a little bit of help."
The old man with gray hair and childlike face smiled kindly and said:
"If you two can really meet Bai Ze, it will be a lucky thing for me."
Lin Xiaolin asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that?"
"Baopuzi" says that Bai Ze can understand the emotions of all things, know the things of ghosts and gods, and ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, which is a symbol of auspiciousness."
Lu Chang'an said with a smile: "If you two can see the auspicious beast Baize, all the people of Li will be able to enjoy the good fortune together."
Luo He nodded thoughtfully.
Luo He has always felt that Bai Ze has a high status among mythical beasts.
Because Bai Ze knows everything about yin and yang and knows all the ghosts and gods in the world.
According to legend, Bai Ze told Emperor Wu about the ferocious beasts in the world.
Emperor Wu ordered people to record it, and it was used as a sacred artifact [Baize Picture].
The artifact [Baize Diagram] records tens of thousands of beasts, and even includes the characteristics and methods of getting rid of each vicious beast.
However, with the passage of time, Baize Tu has been lost in modern times and has become a mythical legend.
In summary, Bai Ze has the ability to expel ghosts and evil spirits, know the three realms, and bless all people.
In Luo He's opinion, Bai Ze, who knows all things, is slightly better than the "Four Spirits of Heaven".
After all, having Baizetu means having the powerful ability to "identify all the ingredients in the world".
But in terms of belief alone, the number of people who believe in Baize is far less than the number of people who believe in Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu and White Tiger.
This may also be related to the fact that Bai Ze rarely shows up and stays in the Kunlun virtual realm.
According to Master Lu, Baize rarely made a trip to the mountains for the sake of private brewing by villagers.
Luo He still doesn't know Bai Ze's temper.
But be prepared for a rainy day, start with the word "wine", and you should be able to make some progress.
Lu Changan looked at the magnificent dusk on Yuxu Peak and said:
"It's getting late, why don't you two rest at the Taoist temple for the night, and then go to Yuxian Peak to look for Bai Ze tomorrow?"
Luo He glanced at Lin Xiaolin.
The short-haired beauty shrugged her shoulders and said that she was here to serve as a bodyguard and that she would still follow Luo He's arrangements for the specific itinerary.
Luo He also planned to prepare some wine-related ingredients that might be used tonight.
Lin Xiaolin has a private jet... Asking her to help run errands can greatly improve operational efficiency.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Luo He accepted Master Lu's invitation and stayed one night at Yuxu Taoist Temple.
Master Lu ordered his disciples to prepare two guest rooms, and personally led Luo He and Lin Xiaolin to visit a wonder on Yuxu Peak.
The wonder is called "Kunlun Spring". The spring pool is surrounded by granite, and a clear spring suddenly gushes out from the bottom of the pool in the center, like a blooming lotus.
"This spring water is cold and sweet, and the water quality is transparent, like nectar and jade liquid. The pure natural spring water can be rated as a third-level resource, called [Iceberg Manna], and it has certain healing effects." Master Lu said.
Luo He looked at the spring water, his eyes slightly moved.
Whether this spring water is used for cooking, making wine or cultivating snow, it is a rare treasure...
At this time, Master Lu said:
"I have prepared some iceberg nectar and will give it to you two before you leave. It is a small gift to express my feelings."
Luo He was slightly startled and looked at the immortal elder, seeing him smiling kindly.
"No need for my share, just give it to Luo He as well." Lin Xiaolin answered directly and said with a smile: "Although I am borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, my gratitude remains the same."
Master Lu smiled slightly, looked at the clear and cold spring water, and said:
"About this Kunlun Spring, there is a legend related to the Nong Emperor. I wonder if you two are interested in it."
Related to the Nong Emperor?
Luo He's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "I would like to hear the details!"
Master Lu held his Taoist robe, his eyes were introverted, and he said slowly:
"In the year of the severe drought, Emperor Nong traveled across mountains and rivers to Kunlun to look for Baize."
"Baize saw that Emperor Nong was tired and hungry, so he held a banquet in honor of Emperor Nong and said, "Let's drink fine wine to temporarily relieve our sorrow."
Master Lu put his sleeves up and looked up at a misty peak in the distance, as if imagining the scene at that time, and murmured:
"At that time, Emperor Nong was holding a golden bottle above the sea of clouds. He looked at the people of Kunlun who were suffering from drought under the sea of clouds. His heart trembled and he accidentally knocked over the wine bottle."
"The golden bottles were thrown to the ground, and the nectar overflowed. The overflowing nectar turned into the water of Kunlun Pool here."
Master Lu looked at the gushing clear spring and said:
"This is the origin of [Kunlun Pool] and [Iceberg Nectar]."
Lin Xiaolin folded his arms, rubbed his chin, and said:
"Why do I feel that Emperor Nong accidentally knocked over his wine glass?"
Luo He complained in his heart.
Bai Ze is unreasonable. He still drinks alcohol during a drought?
Master Lu smiled and said: "The charm of the story is that there are thousands of interpretations. Perhaps only the person involved can know the truth."
"Speaking of which, Bai Ze's seniority should be higher than that of Emperor Nong, right?" Luo He thought of something and asked.
"The word seniority is not used appropriately." Master Lu smiled faintly and said, "But that's the general idea."
Luo He fell into deep thought.
As early as the time of Emperor Wu, Bai Ze met Emperor Wu and left behind the artifact [Baize Picture].
Emperor Wu's lifespan is not recorded in the history books, but a trainer as strong as him is estimated to have a lifespan of a thousand years.
By the time of the Nong Emperor, if it was still the same Bai Ze, the Nong Emperor would have to treat him with respect when he saw him.
If the modern Baize is still the Baize from Emperor Wu's era——
Luo He took a breath in his heart.
Turtle is thousands of years older than Senior Turtle, and his seniority is even ridiculously high!
"It shouldn't be..."
Luo He thought: "The Xuanwu clan has changed three times, the Qilin clan has been passed down for generations, and there is no reason why the Baize clan should still be the same Baize from Emperor Wu's era."
Moreover, this story made Luo He more convinced of one thing.
Wine must be Bai Ze's favorite.
But Bai Ze is knowledgeable about all things and must have tasted all the fine wines in Donghuang. Chixia wine probably cannot enter his discernment.
What kind of wine should be used as the key to impress Bai Ze?
Night falls.
Luo Hesi thought about it and handed Lin Xiaolin a list.
Lin Xiaolin took the list, glanced at the dazzling array of wine names, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you insomniac?"
"No, it's to prepare for the visit to Bai Ze tomorrow."
Luo He spread his hands helplessly and said: "I'm thinking that Bai Ze should like to drink, but ordinary wine will definitely not impress him, so we have to win by surprise."
"I see."
Lin Xiaolin glanced at the list again and clicked his tongue:
"Let the mechanical master do the errands for you, you are respectable enough... just wait, I will prepare all the ingredients for you tomorrow!"
That night.
Lin Xiaolin drove the Fengshen Eagle down the mountain and purchased the raw materials on the list overnight.
Luo He went to bed early and got up early to recharge his batteries and prepare a hearty breakfast for Lin Xiaolin who returned at dawn.
