Chapter 171 The wine is gone, the night is getting darker
This elixir was taken from Wangtian City and given to sisters Ru Shi and Ru Hua in two jars, which was a small matter for Li Xiuyuan.
After hearing the poem, Wu couldn't help but cover her mouth, looked at Li Xiuyuan and murmured: "Young master is really a god."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and smiled: "Originally, there was no chance of this happening. It's just that my friend in Fucheng found the elixir, so I will have to spend some time making wine in the spring..."
He wanted to tell the two of them not to take things too seriously.
Aunt Hong thought for a while, looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "It seems that the friend in Master Fucheng is also a child of a rich family, right? Otherwise, how could this thousand-year-old elixir be obtained?"
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that he was really arrogant. This Yan Mansion had just stolen a thousand years of elixir.
However, he didn't know that the most unscrupulous person in the Four Seasons Building was Yan Mansion. Even Yan Ruobing would not come to the Four Seasons Building on weekdays. Even if someone invited him, he would politely decline.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan remained silent, Aunt Hong sighed and said, "How can these century-old elixirs be so effective? If these two girls can break through the second level in a row, they must have at least a thousand-year elixir."
Li Xiuyuan still didn't say a word, but silently poured hot tea for the three of them, thinking whether it was time for him to leave Tianwangtian City. If he stayed any longer, he would be afraid of exposing his mistakes, and there would be no way to go to heaven.
Unexpectedly, the outspoken Ru Shi started to speak: "I heard from the general of the City Lord's Mansion who came today that the four main gates of Wangtian City are now closed. You can only enter but not exit. He said that the murderer last night should be investigated strictly."
Aunt Hong glanced at her, sighed softly, and replied: "This is a grudge between the Great Wall and the Wilderness, but because the people of the Yan Mansion have implicated the entire Wangtian City, it has made people panic."
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he sighed: "It seems that I came at the wrong time and got involved in troublesome times."
When Ruhua heard this, she couldn't help but giggle: "Young Master's words scolded the entire guests in the Four Seasons Building."
"Why do I have such thoughts? I wanted to live in peace and quiet in the Four Seasons Building, but it seems that Wangtian City can't be quiet recently." Li Xiuyuan has already decided to leave Tianwangtian City early tomorrow morning.
As long as he wants to leave, where can Wangtian City leave him?
Aunt Hong gradually stopped smiling, looked at Li Xiuyuan in front of her and said, "This troubled time? As long as you stay in the Four Seasons Tower, no one will dare to trouble you... I came here today because I want to have a taste of Mr.
of fine wine..."
After talking for a long time, Aunt Hong finally explained her purpose. What does the ups and downs in this world have to do with me?
"Senior is really good at choosing a day. I know that I still have a jar of wine in my hand to entertain guests." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, if you come back tomorrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me.
"It seems that I am really in luck." Aunt Hong looked back at the two sisters and said with a smile, "Tell me, how delicious is the young master's wine?"
Rushi looked at the floating tea leaves that Li Xiuyuan poured into the boiling water and replied softly: "Like the sound of the young master's piano, this wine should only be found in the sky."
Aunt Hong glanced at Rushi and asked Li Xiuyuan: "What kind of materials and what kind of spring water are needed to brew a unique wine in this world?"
"I use the most common ingredients when making wine. You two have drunk the wine I made with black beans." Li Xiuyuan replied. "I just pay more attention to it, just like playing the piano!"
"It's just intention, what a good intention. It turns out that this is the secret of practice..." After Aunt Hong finished speaking, she looked at Ruhua, and the meaning was self-evident.
Ruhua pretended to understand, nodded with Aunt Hong, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Don't you have any skills in playing the piano?"
Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, looked at her and asked: "Does playing the piano require skills? It seems that my teacher never taught me, he only told me that I only need to be skilled."
Thinking of the master in the academy, it seemed to Li Xiuyuan that the master only taught him the simplest fingering techniques, threw a bunch of books to him, and stopped paying attention to him. When had he ever taught him skills?
The picturesque little face suddenly drooped, and he said in a muffled voice: "What you said means you didn't say it. I have also practiced guqin for more than ten years, why am I not as good as the master's piano skills?!"
"I don't know about this. After all, I'm still a student and I can't teach others." In one sentence, Li Xiuyuan blocked Ruhua's curiosity.
Even in the back hill of the academy, Li Xiuyuan only taught Nangong Ruyu, who called himself master, some simple principles, and then gave her the Master's piano book and ignored her.
Compared with the picturesque scene in front of me, Nangong Ruyu seems to be more spiritual.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, Qin Dao is the same as sword intention. It depends on your own hard practice and a little insight. Once you understand it, you will naturally practice better.
If you can't sense it, you may not be able to sense the faint trace of sword intention even after breaking through the realm to Poxu.
It's just that he didn't dare to say it out loud. If the three people in front of him knew that he knew how to swordsmanship, they would be more curious and might attract the attention of the city lord's palace.
"Young master is right, the master will lead you in. Cultivation depends on the individual." Why didn't Aunt Hong understand what Li Xiuyuan said? There are thousands of people who practice, but how many people have finally achieved enlightenment?
Who hasn’t worked hard to practice, but in the end, they just missed the chance.
Just like how she almost broke through just listening to the young man's song "Si Wu Xie" yesterday, this also made her understand the principles of practice. She really cannot rely on others, let alone some thousand-year-old elixir.
Just like the sound of this guy's piano can make those who listen to the music break through the realm, but it can't benefit himself. This is also a matter of chance.
Wanting to understand this truth, Aunt Hong looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "I'm here to serve as a host today, so I can have a nice glass of this rare wine with you."
"Senior is happy to accompany me, but I'm a heavy drinker. If I only have three drinks, I'll make my senior laugh."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and sighed, thinking that his drinking capacity had not increased much, even though he had brewed countless vats of wine.
"Three cups are enough, you can do whatever you want, I want to enjoy it to the fullest!"
Aunt Hong looked at the shy Li Xiuyuan and couldn't help laughing. This was the first time she met a young man who was rich in wine but not good at drinking.
Rushi put her face close to Li Xiuyuan, looked into his eyes and said, "Master, I don't know how many beautiful women you will harm in the wild when you grow up!"
"Senior sister is right, sir, you are a monster in the world." Ruhua also said with a smile. In fact, she was thinking about how to keep the young man in front of her.
"Although we just met by chance, we are destined to meet each other. Let's have a drink today." Aunt Hong said with a smile. She was becoming more and more fond of the young man in front of her.
Even like the two apprentices, he had the urge to reach out and take off the mask on Li Xiuyuan's face to see clearly the true face of this monster on earth.
"The heart of wine is joyful, and joy brings virtue. Today I will accompany the three of you to have a drink. I look forward to the day when we meet again in the world, and everyone will practice to a higher level."
Li Xiuyuan took out the last jar of soju, looked at the three of them and said, "Even this wine is made by me from wild sorghum, and the water used is just ordinary spring water."
Ruhua did not answer Li Xiuyuan's words, but stood up, opened the door, and walked downstairs. She wanted to instruct the waiter to deliver the food to Li Xiuyuan's private room.
"What a fine wine brewed from sorghum. I'm really looking forward to the medicinal wine you will brew next spring." Aunt Hong looked at him and said quietly.
Li Xiuyuan was startled, looked at the two men and corrected him: "Even if the wine made by humans and gods next year cannot be drunk that year, it will have to be aged for one year. It will not be effective until the spring of the year after next..."
Aunt Hong sighed softly, looked at him and replied: "It seems that I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I have to wait for another year."
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and replied seriously: "No matter who drinks the medicinal wine I brewed, it will only have the effect of breaking through the realm for the first time. It will not be so obvious after drinking it."
He felt that it was necessary to explain this truth clearly to the two of them, so that they would not waste the medicinal wine they had worked so hard to brew.
"In this case, this spiritual wine is the same as the spiritual medicine. Mortals only have one chance to enjoy it." Looking at Li Xiuyuan, Aunt Hong said seriously.
"Even the last time is enough... How many times can one fight in life? Practitioners cannot rely on external forces after all." Like a dying old man, Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and replied softly.
At this time, he thought of the old Taoist priest who had left after drinking the medicinal wine he brewed, the old man who was as close as his father, and the old man Song Wuxin he met on Tianyun Mountain.
And in the academy, his teacher Fuzi was about to ascend and leave him... He didn't know how many years he had to practice before he had the opportunity to go to another world to find the old Taoist priests and others.
...
The drinking session with Master and Disciple of the Four Seasons Building lasted from before noon to midnight. Li Xiuyuan only drank three cups, and Master and Disciple were about to get drunk.
There was only half a jar of sorghum soju left. Finally, Aunt Hong called the girls in the building to help the two sisters back to their rooms, and she left with the support of the girls.
After waiting for the waiter in the building to clean up the mess in the room, he closed the door tightly.
After learning the decision of the City Lord's Mansion from the three masters and disciples, he felt that he could no longer stay in Wangtian City. Now that the City Lord's Mansion was on guard, he did not want to dig up the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion at night anymore.
He wanted to return to Ding'an City as soon as possible. Maybe Huangfu Qingmei and the others had already returned. It was not good for him to remain the hands-off shopkeeper and leave the affairs of the winery to Li Qiushui of Jinyifang.
If he wants to find a reasonable reason to leave, even if he leaves Wangtian City arrogantly, no one will doubt him.
While it was still early, he had to think carefully.
Thinking that he had already promised the Master of the Four Seasons that he would leave Si Wuxie's music score to Ruhua, he took pen, ink, paper and inkstone and spread it on the table, then ground the sorghum in the urn into a thick layer of ink.
All harp music in the world are the same, the only difference is the person playing the harp.
It took Li Xiuyuan a quarter of an hour to copy down the poem "Si Wu Xie" he brought from the academy, put it quietly on the table, reached out and poured himself a cup of tea and held it in his hands.
When I was in the academy, I repeatedly warned myself not to make choices and make random connections with different fates in the world.
In the Shura Realm, he kept his bottom line. Unexpectedly, when he came to the wilderness, he couldn't help but break through his principles again and again. First, he made friends with Huangfu Qingmei and Ximen Lone Star.
Later, another Ximen Xiaoyu came, but luckily he stopped in time and didn't get caught up in it.
As for the two sisters in the Four Seasons Building in front of him, because of his soft-heartedness, he accidentally fell into it... He wanted to stay away from this harm to others and himself.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but lean on the table and fell asleep.
...
Just after the ugly time, Li Xiuyuan avoided the large group of soldiers patrolling the streets and quietly came to the south gate of Wangtian City. Looking at the high city wall, he thought about where he should start.
According to his plan, before midnight tomorrow, he would be fifty miles away from Wangtian City.
The city gates are opened at Mao Shi. This is the rule of major towns in the wilderness. Although Wangtian City is currently closed, Li Xiuyuan has a way to open the four city gates.
The wine has worn off, the night is getting deeper, and snowflakes are falling in the sky. I wonder if when I return to Ding'an City, it will be the same world as Wangtian City, where snow is falling.
