The man was nine feet tall, with long hair shawl, a sinewy face, eyes like copper bells, and a fierce glare, like an evil god blocking the road.
There was no pressure on his body, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife. Everyone felt their scalps go numb when they took one look at him.
Han Wenjun, Li Wanji, and Xia Yunchong couldn't help but feel shocked, because they recognized this legendary figure who once shocked most of the continent - the ruthless Jueyang Tu Qianshang.
"Damn fat man, you scared people. Today I will accompany my friend to see the high priest. Wash your neck and wait for me to come back. I will kill you without leaving any trace of you." Long Chen stretched out his fist and said confidently.
As soon as Long Chen said these words, Xia Yunchong was so frightened that his face turned green. Was Long Chen desperate for his life?
As expected, Tu Qianshang was furious, his thick eyebrows were raised, he also stretched out his fist, gestured at Long Chen, and said bitterly:
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. I don't believe I can win you."
"Uncle Fatty, you lost badly last time. Are you going to take revenge this time?" Facing the terrifying and ferocious-looking Tu Qianshang, Xia Youluo was not afraid at all and said with a smile.
Because Tu Qianshang is not scary now. After drinking last time, when Long Chen and Tu Qianshang pointed at each other's noses and cursed, it was scary. Their current expressions are already amiable.
Tu Qianshang said angrily: "Little girl, you are so dumb that you can't speak. Why, I lost miserably. He... is a guest and a child. Of course I have to save him. You go away quickly. Go back quickly."
, I must take revenge this time."
Tu Qianshang's last sentence confirmed Xia Youluo's words. Tu Qianshang lost last time and was very unconvinced.
After passing by Tu Qianshang, everyone moved forward under the leadership of the disciple who welcomed guests from the Dionysus Palace.
"Long Chen, you actually defeated that scary guy, how did you do it?" Xia Yunchong couldn't help but ask.
"It's not what you think. We were just punching each other and playing drinking games. He couldn't beat me. He even cursed me when he lost. He couldn't beat me even after he cursed me. No, he's here to bully me again." Long Chen shook his head and said.
"Aren't you afraid of him..." Xia Yunchong said with a shocked look on his face.
"What are you afraid of? He is now a disciple of the Dionysus Palace, and his butcher knife has been replaced by a wine barrel. He doesn't dare to hit me.
So he can't punch me, he can't scold me, and he doesn't dare to hit me. Didn't you see the expression on his face that he wants to bite me to death? That's because he can't do anything with me.
In fact, he wants to thank me. He practices brewing wine all day, and I play with him, drinking, punching, and scolding people. He is so carefree and happy. In fact, he should be grateful to me in his heart." Long Chen chuckled.
Xia Youluo snickered and said: "Brother Long Chen is so bad. That fat uncle lost miserably last time. I can't stand it anymore.
In the end, Brother Long Chen shamelessly asked the fat uncle for a drink, and scolded him if he didn't give it. The two of them scolded each other fiercely.
In the end, the fat uncle gave the wine to Brother Long Chen. In my opinion, Brother Long Chen is more vicious and bad than that fat uncle!"
"You ungrateful guy, spit out all my wine." Long Chen said with a cold face.
"Ugh, reach out and I'll spit it out to you." Xia Youluo stuck out her tongue, made a vomiting expression and smiled.
"Youluo, please be polite. You are a princess." Xia Yunchong pulled Xia Youluo. How could this child be so stupid and make such an unbecoming move?
Zi Yan smiled slightly and said: "Long Chen is a sweet-tempered person who doesn't stick to trivial matters in everything. Sister Youluo is also very good, kind and innocent, and does whatever she wants."
"Yeah, sister Zi Yan praised me." Zi Yan's compliment made Xia Youluo excited.
Han Wenjun and Li Wanji looked at each other and saw the anger in their eyes. The two of them followed like shadows and were ignored.
However, the main purpose of their visit to Daxia this time was the Dionysus Palace, so they had to follow them.
Following the lead of the disciple, they climbed over a high mountain. In front of them was a flat land, and a palace appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Please come in"
The welcoming disciple only reached the door, then stopped and motioned for everyone to enter.
Entering the gate, the first thing you see is a screen with a poem written on it:
"The world is vast in the wine, and the years in the pot are long. Everything is settled, and life is empty. The clear wine is as light as water, and the turbid wine is as thick as soup. The clear and turbid wines are chaotic, and the flavors are brewing in the sky. There is no way to pursue fame and fortune. Good wine comes to touch the ruins, and the wine
Drunk and asleep, I wake up and look in all directions."
It is written in ancient Chinese prose. There is no obvious sense of pause between strokes. The whole poem seems to be written in one stroke. It looks a bit messy, but it also has a sense of carefreeness and a kind of emotional catharsis.
It's like a famous calligrapher who, after being drunk, breaks away from any scruples and frameworks and scribbles carelessly, extremely free and unrestrained, but with endless Taoist meaning.
Zi Yan and others stood in front of the screen, looking at the words in front of them, and fell into deep thought for a while, because both poetry and calligraphy contain endless charm. If they can understand the mystery, it will be useful to people for a lifetime.
"This is a kind of perfection, and it is also a kind of artistic conception, a kind of feeling, and a kind of understanding. Through the technique of writing hard and fast, I can write down the feelings in my heart. This is great wisdom and great power..." Han Wenjun read
Looking at the writing on the screen, I couldn't help but praise.
I don’t know if this guy meant to show off, but he said a lot of compliments in one breath, which made Long Chen’s hair stand on end.
This is so fucking shameless. Praise must be based on facts. You have used the word "rejuvenation", so why don't you talk about "resurrection from the dead"?
"Excuse me. He is worthy of being the prince of Korea. He has quick thinking and precise words. I admire him. I wonder what other kids think of my graffiti?" An old voice came from the main hall.
Everyone was shocked. The person speaking in the hall must be the high priest himself. Unexpectedly, this poem was actually written by the high priest himself.
"Senior's calligraphy brushes are full of charm, and the lines reveal endless free and unrestrained meaning, and they are full of joy..." Li Wanji said.
Yep, Han Wenjun went off track, and Li Wanji simply went off topic and commented on the high priest's calligraphy. Long Chen was speechless for a while.
The voice of the high priest came: "In terms of calligraphy, I still lack a lot. This little friend praises me so much, which makes me ashamed. Other kids, please don't be restrained and please give me some advice."
The high priest's voice was upright, gentle, kind and sweet, without any overbearing power from a peerless person. It was like a kind and kind elder, making people feel close to him.
"I don't know much about calligraphy, but I can feel the vast and majestic artistic conception between the lines. It is very helpful to my practice. I have benefited a lot from seeing the masterpieces of my seniors." Xia Yunchong said respectfully and authentically.
Very pertinent.
"My little friend, practicing the Invincible Way, also pays attention to knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature, and having no worries, which is very rare." came the voice of the high priest.
"Long Chen, I..." Xia Youluo was a little nervous.
"It's okay. At worst, just talk nonsense. The high priest is a nice person and won't kill you." Long Chen looked at Xia Youluo, who was so frightened that his face was a little pale, and couldn't help laughing.
Even Zi Yan, who always had a calm face, was speechless for a while. This Long Chen dared to say anything and didn't care about the situation.
"Haha, don't be nervous little friend, just say whatever you want." The high priest chuckled.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. I don't feel anything at all. It's mainly because I don't recognize most of the words." Xia Youluo said a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha, very good. It's rare to be so straightforward. What you know is known, and what you don't know is unknown. How can a person know everything in the world, no matter how knowledgeable he is?" The high priest laughed and was very happy to hear the voice.
"Thank you, Grandpa High Priest." Xia Youluo shouted happily, even calling out his seniority.
But Xia Youluo is cute and well-behaved, especially when she doesn't have a bad temper, she is even more lovable, as innocent and careless as a child.
"Masters of the Miao Le Immortal Palace, I wonder if you would like to comment on the old ghost-drawing talisman?" Regarding Zi Yan, the high priest's voice was obviously different, and it actually had the feeling of a peer-to-peer competition.
"The way of wine is the way of heaven, they are all in the struggle." Zi Yanying opened her lips lightly and said only ten words.
"He is indeed a genius from the Miao Le Immortal Palace. He can even see the state of the old man. He is really admired by the old man."
The high priest's voice was obviously filled with sighs, and he clearly appreciated Zi Yan's comments.
"Little friend Long Chen, the last time you came here, I was in retreat, so I didn't have the chance to meet you. It's a pity.
But I heard that you plundered all the families of my Dionysus Palace disciples, which is admirable." The high priest said with a hint of smile in his voice.
Long Chen's old face suddenly heated up. He felt like he had deceived a child with a lollipop. Now facing a parent's questioning, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Ahem, actually, we are communicating, um, just communicating."
You can't admit the deception even if you kill it. This is Long Chen's strongest point.
"Haha, it's just a joke. Don't take it too seriously. I don't know, little friend Long Chen, but you have some criticisms about the word Laochan?" the high priest said.
Long Chen pondered for a moment and said, "There is nothing else but wine."
After Long Chen finished saying this, Zi Yan's beautiful eyes flashed and she fell into deep thought. When she looked at those words again, a flash of understanding flashed deep in her eyes, and a beautiful smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Besides wine, there is nothing else, haha, apart from wine, there is nothing else..." The high priest laughed, his laughter full of joy.
"Kakaka..."
The screen slowly moved away, and a corridor paved with blue bricks appeared in front of it. The green bricks had turned gray and had fine cracks on them, giving off an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
After the screen was removed, a statue appeared in front of it. The statue was not high and had almost the same proportions as a real person.
It was a man holding a wine pot and a wine glass, enjoying himself and drinking happily. His face was indifferent, peaceful and quiet, but there was a little sparkle in his eyes.
When approaching the statue, Zi Yan, Xia Yunchong, Han Wenjun and others all knelt down involuntarily, and Long Chen couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
