Chapter 143: The Moon Visits
"Really?" Tian Xiaoliu rubbed his hands excitedly, "Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Shao, and Senior Brother Tian were all defeated by Qiu Feng, but brother, you just defeated Qiu Feng. Tsk, tsk, tsk, then you really showed off your face this time. That’s it! No wonder, the master is going to give you a big banquet for three days! This makes sense.”
"Hold a big banquet for me for three days?" Xiang An said with some uncertainty.
"Yes, when I left in the morning, I heard what Senior Brother Zhou said. Senior Brother Zhou had already arrived at Moyang City to buy it. He said there would be a banquet at noon tomorrow! Oh, by the way, look at my brain. , when I left, Elder Yan specifically asked me to bring you a message, asking you to wait for him at the Punishment Hall tomorrow morning, and then go there together."
"Okay, I've written this down." He quickly kept this in mind.
The two of them drank for two hours before dispersing. After Tian Xiaoliu left, Xiang An had a beautiful sleep on the bamboo mat without any sleeping posture. After all, there is a golden nest and a silver nest. Even worse than his own kennel, unknowingly, the quiet and dangerous Bamboo Shadow Peak has become Xiang An's place of refuge in his heart. This sleep can be regarded as the sky is dim and the earth is dark, even beautiful to Nie Mingyue When Xiang An opened the door and came in, he didn't know anything about it.
Nie Mingyue looked at Xiang An who was sleeping soundly, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious. After all, she had never enjoyed Xiang An's high-quality sleep in so many years in Taiyi Sect, even in I slept lightly late at night, for fear that the situation would be exposed and someone would pick me up in the middle of the night.
However, Xiang An is a monk in the Xuanqing realm. Even if he relaxes, he still has basic spiritual awareness. When Nie Mingyue placed the delicate jade pot in his hand on the ground, he was still awakened.
"Huh?" Xiang An's eyes met Xia Jiao, "Sister Nie? You?" The clothes on his arms suddenly slipped off, making Xiang An a little nervous. After all, he still unconsciously wanted to maintain his image in front of Nie Mingyue.
Nie Mingyue glanced at Xiang An's funny look, turned around knowingly, and gave Xiang An space to get dressed.
Xiang An hurriedly tied up his underwear and robe, looked around and looked at his whole body, and then said with some embarrassment, "Senior Sister Nie, why did you..." Before the words came out, Xiang An just felt that something was wrong with his words, "I..."
Nie Mingyue turned around and looked at Xiang An, who was a little nervous. She didn't blame him. After all, she had already figured out Xiang An's temper during the days of contact with Xiang An. However, seeing Xiang An's awkward expression, she still I couldn't help but said teasingly, "What, you're not welcome?"
"No, no, no," Xiang An hurriedly denied.
Nie Mingyue smelled the smell of wine that had not yet dissipated in the room, "It seems that my Yuelai wine arrived a little late!"
"It's not too late, it's not too late." Xiang An seemed to be a student whose pigtails were caught by the private school teacher. "At noon, Xiaoliu brought wine and had a drink. Oh no, just a small jar." Xiang An hurriedly corrected the amount accurately.
"Are you still in the mood to drink this pot from me?" Nie Mingyue pointed to the exquisite jade pot on the ground. The jade pot was crystal clear. Xiang An could almost see the same crystal clear wine liquid in the jade pot.
Xiang An carefully picked up the wine flask and scratched his head, "Senior Sister Nie, why don't you wait? I don't have anything to do with drinking here, and I don't have the right food to go with the wine. Why don't I go to the kitchen to get some?"
"
Nie Mingyue pulled out two jade-green wine cups from behind like a magic trick, "No need, I brought them all." Nie Mingyue looked around, "The weather is good today, why don't you bring your little bamboo cup?"
Shit, how about we go outside and have a drink with the view?"
"Of course I am very happy." Xiang An mentioned the small bamboo stool and said a sentence that he was not usually able to use proficiently.
As soon as he got out of the bamboo house, Xiang An saw that the setting sun in the distance showed only a trace of red light. The shadow of the bright moon in the sky on the other side had already been revealed. It can be seen that Xiang An had slept for enough time.
long.
Nie Mingyue held out a cup in each hand, gesturing to An to pour wine.
Xiang An carefully poured the jade pot, letting the translucent wine drop through the small spout of the jade pot into the wine cup. Xiang An's gentle movements did not let even a drop of wine be wasted, and not even a drop of wine was splashed on Nie Mingyue.
on the delicate jade hands.
I have to say that the quiet Bamboo Shadow Peak, with the cool breeze blowing and the bright moon gradually lighting up, shining through the eaves of the bamboo house, has a unique artistic conception.
This feeling is particularly touching to Xiang An. Holding a glass of sake, you can see a beautiful woman facing you and accompany you with the beautiful scenery. It is a natural and beautiful time. It is in contrast to Nie Mingyue's sip and Tongtian Xiaoliu's booze.
, each has its own fun and each has its own merits.
The two of them just sat facing each other, neither asking for drinks, but drinking by themselves without saying a word. No one wanted to break such a peaceful and comfortable time.
"Let me toast you, the new champion." Nie Mingyue raised his glass and said.
Xiang An Weiwei and Nie Mingyue clinked their glasses and asked doubtfully, "Champion? What is the champion?"
Only then did Nie Mingyue realize that she was too relaxed and accidentally said words commonly used in southern Xinjiang. She forgot that Dongsheng Shenzhou was usually described as winning the championship. "Probably it means bravely winning the three armies," Nie Mingyue said covertly, she
This also means that bullying Xiang An's cultural level is not as good as hers, "It means the same thing as winning the first prize."
"Oh, oh" Xiang An smiled sheepishly, "Champion?" Xiang An wrote down this new word that he didn't understand well enough.
Xiang An and Nie Mingyue drank this glass of fine wine in front of the moonlight. However, although the wine Nie Mingyue brought was clear and clear, it was as hot as swallowing a knife when it entered the throat.
, I just took a small sip and felt that it was a little spicy and difficult to swallow. Now that I drank the cup, the hot feeling suddenly became prominent. The strength of this wine is far more powerful than the Yuelai Niang brought by Tian Xiaoliu.
Even the strongest Shao Knife that Xiang An had drunk in the past was not comparable to it. But after the wine lingered for a moment, in addition to the warm feeling, there was also a feeling of sweetness.
This feeling made Xiang An unconsciously praise, "Good wine!"
Nie Mingyue nodded with satisfaction at Xiang An's feeling, picked up the wine bottle and filled Xiang An another glass.
"What kind of wine is this? It's strong! It's enjoyable!" Xiang An thinks this is called wine. Although Yuelai Niang is good, it is too soft and not as direct and thorough as this wine.
"This is Shaodaozi wine I bought from several vendors in Moyang City," Nie Mingyue said casually. "The vendor said it was home-brewed. I happened to pass by and took a sip. Although it was delicious,
The taste is quite strong, but I am not satisfied with it, so I specially bought a jar for you to bring back, and left the rest for you at the door of the bamboo house. This Bamboo Shadow Peak is heavy with dew late at night, and a sip of strong wine can also drive away the cold.
.”
Following the direction of Nie Mingyue's finger, Xiang An looked at a dark brown wine jar placed at the door of the bamboo house.
"Actually, I'm not a big drinker," he explained to An, fearing that Nie Mingyue would regard him as a heavy drinker.
Nie Mingyue smiled and was noncommittal.
"I heard that some guys who are very good at Cuju came to Moyang City, and it was very lively!" Xiang An found a topic and continued the conversation.
"You must have heard what Tian Xiaoliu said. The skills of that group are indeed very good, and their tricks are much better than those of the previous Cuju teams that cheated money."
"I didn't expect that you even know how to play Cuju." Xiang An said intentionally or unintentionally.
"I don't understand either, I'm just watching the fun."
Xiang An swallowed the strong wine in the cup again, and said after taking advantage of the heat, "I don't even know what Cuju is. Let's go to Moyang City to see it another day!"
"Okay, okay, but I heard that those people are going to the next stop soon. I'm afraid they will leave after the three-day banquet inside the door." Nie Mingyue said, playing with the wine cup in his hand.
"That's such a pity," Xiang An said with regret.
"How did you know there was a Cuju team performing in Moyang City?" Nie Mingyue asked.
"Xiao Liu came over at noon and told me about it. He said it was the most... interesting thing recently, which made me want to see it too."
"Then Tian Xiaoliu didn't tell you that he saw me talking to a man who played Cuju?" Nie Mingyue put the wine cup on the back of her hand and asked without raising her head.
Xiang An looked at the wine cup on the back of Nie Mingyue's hand, which was even more translucent in the moonlight, and didn't know how to reply.
Nie Mingyue didn't look up or be in a hurry, as if she wanted to find a flaw in this jade cup.
"Xiao Liu just said this casually, just passing by... passing by." Xiang Anzang said half of the words.
Nie Mingyue's beautiful eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't explain what her relationship was with that Cuju man, or what she said to that man. She just said lightly, "Oh."
But Nie Mingyue's calm demeanor here completely dissipated all the doubts Xiang An had. Some of his unhappiness was also left behind in the Java Kingdom, and he even blamed himself for not being doubtful and unhappy.
.
Nie Mingyue raised her head and looked at the moonlight that was shining in the middle of the sky. She stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first."
"Don't you sit around anymore?" Xiang An thought it was his abruptness that made Nie Mingyue a little unhappy.
"See you at your celebration party tomorrow." Nie Mingyue waved her hand, "You are the protagonist tomorrow, so don't waste time."
Watching Nie Mingyue's figure getting further and further away, until the figure disappeared at the end of the mountain road, Xiang An sat back on the bamboo stool and poured himself a full glass with the wine bottle and wine cup left by Nie Mingyue.
