Chapter 351 The inheritance of Yuezhou Monster Clan
Chapter 351 The inheritance of Yuezhou Monster Clan
"Today is a good day, suitable for drinking." The woman sitting opposite said to the Taoist in a calm voice, "What kind of wine would you like to drink, Taoist Master?"
"What's so good about it?"
"Firstly, during the winter solstice, officials take a break and the city is lively." The woman smiled slightly, her smile was reserved and restrained, her voice remained steady, "Secondly, from now on, there will no longer be Wanjiang playing harps and selling wine in Changjing, only the world between heaven and earth.
A free fox demon, imitating the Taoist priest, explores the world and encounters nature."
"The master is planning to die in two days. It just so happened that the Taoist Priest came to visit today. He happened to tell them that he was inviting the Taoist Priest to discuss his posthumous affairs." The maid smiled and said, "It's clever."
"That's right." The woman nodded.
"Also, the Taoist priest came to visit today and brought good food. This is what a good friend would do. Naturally, we are also happy." The maid smiled and said, "My old friend brought food, so we should prepare wine."
"In that case, I wonder what kind of wine there is?" The Taoist's heart was unmoved.
"Hexianlou is famous for its gin wine. It has all the best wines in the world. It has the best Huadiao rice wine, which is the best to drink in the cold winter. It has the best rice wine produced in Angzhou. I heard that the Marquis of Wu'an loves it the most. There is also the Western Region wine.
The imported grape wine is as red as agate, and there are also peach blossom wine, apricot blossom spring, green plum wine, and immortal drunkenness, all available for the Taoist priest to choose." The maid said.
"If the Taoist master doesn't like drinking, drinking tea is fine," the woman said.
"I'm coming from Lingquan, Yizhou. It's a small place. There's not much good wine, and many people can't afford it. But the farmers have home-brewed glutinous rice. In addition to cooking, if there are guests who want to drink, they use wooden spoons.
The soup base is pressed from the mash barrel to make wine for entertaining. It has no alcoholic taste and is slightly sweet." The Taoist said to them, "Does Hexian Tower have this kind of farm rice wine?"
"have!"
Miss Wanjiang smiled slightly.
"Need to add more sugar."
"good!"
The woman waved her hand, and the maid stood up and walked downstairs with long steps.
The Taoist raised his head and stared at her back, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him.
Song You had also seen this ability in Guanzhong's ancient books, which allowed him to become spiritual and part of his body manifested as a human being. He found it interesting at the time, so he wrote it down -
This ability is rare among monsters, and is more common in fox monsters. It is usually a means used by monsters to help themselves confuse the world, rather than an external incarnation. The book also says that this method manifests
The other part of the body is not only completely connected with the main body, but also uses a brain. The incarnation is like a puppet, controlled by the main body.
It's just that this fox behaved really strangely. The main body and tail's behavior were so different that Song You couldn't be sure for a while. He had been confused for a long time.
I don't know if the record in the book is wrong, the founder's understanding of this demon clan skill is not comprehensive enough, or the fox did not use this skill, but actually trained his tail to become an incarnation outside his body.
Or, amusing yourself?
if that is the case……
"Why does the Taoist priest look at me like this?" the woman in front asked softly.
"excuse me."
"The Taoist priest is not a secular person, and Wan Jiang is not even a human being. If we treat him as an old acquaintance, there is no need to be so polite," the woman said.
"Then why is Shi Shi still so obsessed with human etiquette?" Song You looked at her and said.
"Ah……"
Although the woman did not cover her face with her hands when she smiled, she lowered her head slightly and her posture was still elegant: "Wan Jiang has been showing people this way for a long time. He is used to it. I am afraid it will be difficult to change it in a short time."
"I see."
At this time, the maid also came up, carrying a tray with a purple clay pot and a small bowl on it.
There were two servants behind him, carrying trays.
The maid came closer, put down the tray, placed the purple sand pottery jar and the small bowl on the table one by one, opened the lid, and found a jar full of rice wine, with rice grains still visible in the turbidity. She filled the wine with a wooden spoon.
The servant also came over and put down the fruit.
A plate of pomegranates, all peeled.
One plate was a big yellow earth ball. From a distance, I thought it was a beggar's chicken wrapped in mud. However, with a tap from the servant, it turned out to be empty and filled with grapes, as if they were fresh.
.
There is also a small earthenware stove, used for making tea and warming wine. At this time, the casserole brought by the Taoist was placed on it.
"They are all things that the dignitaries in the city took great pains to send, including pomegranates from the south and grapes from the Western Regions. Those that are ripe this autumn will be sealed with mud and will stay fresh for half a year." The maid said to the Taoist and the Taoist while serving wine.
The cat explained and couldn't help but shook his head, "How can a fox like to eat these?"
Miss Wanjiang listened but said nothing.
Sanhua Empress turned her head and stared at the two servants.
The servant quickly left with the tray.
Empress Sanhua's head was also turned back by the Taoist.
"It's two guest moms!"
"frog……"
"frog!"
The little girl looked regretful.
Frogs are also delicious.
It's a pity that he became a spirit.
"please."
Miss Wanjiang smiled at the Taoist and said, "Try it, it's different from the farm rice wine in the Taoist's impression."
"polite."
The Taoist raised his glass and took a sip.
The taste is almost the same, but when I was in the Taoist temple, I brewed it myself. When I thought it was not sweet enough, I added honey to it. Hexianlou uses white sugar that only the top nobles in Changjing can afford, and it is as fine as yellow.
The color is lighter and brighter than brown sugar. If you taste it carefully, you can also find a subtle brown sugar flavor.
After the Taoist tasted it, he thought about it and poured some for the girl next to him. He told her that this was glutinous rice soup, not wine, so it didn't taste like water. It was sweet because of the addition of sugar.
It's not good to fool her too much.
At this time, the maid next to Miss Wanjiang had already torn off a wing from the braised chicken. Without any regard for the image, she sat down at the table and began to eat it as if no one else was watching.
After taking a bite, he opened his eyes wide.
“It smells so good!”
After eating it in several mouthfuls, he didn't spit out any bones. He didn't wipe the oil from his hands after chewing it. He immediately asked the Taoist:
"I don't know how to do this?"
"My own method is called halogen method."
"I didn't expect the Taoist Master to have this ability! To be honest with the Taoist Master, since I came to Changjing with my master, I have been eating grass and fruits all day long, and I have never eaten such delicious food!"
The little girl next to them looked up and stared at them.
At this time, the idea of this fox tail was very suitable to her. It was really impossible to eat grass and fruits.
"In the leisure time in the mountains, many Taoists have to find ways to kill time. It's just that other Taoists study tea art, swordsmanship, music theory, and I tinker with these." The Taoist replied casually, while drinking, he looked at the person sitting directly opposite.
Wanjiang girl.
I saw a woman twirling a cup with her slender hands and drinking in small sips. The luminous cup with red lips and jade face was extremely beautiful.
Will a fox choose image or meat?
Or is it true that, as written in the book, the fox and the tail have the same thoughts and share their senses, and their normal behavior is very different, but they are just crazy. If the tail eats it at this time, it means that she has eaten it?
As if aware of his gaze and the Taoist's thoughts, the woman raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, then turned her head and looked at the maid.
"hey-hey……"
The maid immediately took out a dagger from her body, which instantly attracted Empress Sanhua's attention. Then, under Empress Sanhua's blank gaze, she cut a small piece of meat and handed it to the master respectfully.
Only then did Sanhua Empress relax a little.
Only then did the woman take it and take a small sip.
Then he whispered to the Taoist:
“It’s really delicious.”
"you flatter me."
Song You withdrew his gaze and continued to drink the wine, which was like sugar water and had the aroma of rice. At the same time, he said to her, "I came here to ask you about Yuezhou."
Miss Wanjiang sat still.
The maid next to her also looked sideways at her, as if wanting to hear what her master would say.
I saw Miss Wanjiang twirling her glass while drinking, put down her glass, and said: "Yuezhou was a place where monsters and elves frequently appeared before ancient times. However, in the following thousands of years, the world changed faster than imagined. People only used it for a short time.
Within a short period of time, a huge and unified country was established, and then it quickly developed from ignorance to ritual music and poetry, which quickly took over the world and became the darling of the world and heaven. Many places that were originally like forbidden places on earth were quickly destroyed.
Occupied by humans, monsters and spirits had to retreat. Taoist priests were born in this era of sound etiquette and law, and could not have imagined such earth-shaking changes."
The woman looked at the Taoist as she spoke.
The Taoist was very calm: "History is always so magnificent, and perhaps there will be even more earth-shaking changes in the future."
"What will the world be like then?"
"Who can say for sure."
"..."
The woman shook her head and smiled, and continued: "The Yuezhou was different from the original, but it still has the oldest demon clan inheritance in the world, which continues to this day. But we no longer dominate that land.
, basically living in seclusion in the mountains, living their own lives, occasionally blending into the world, and not daring to cause trouble. This is the only way to go. Anyone who goes wrong may be famous for a short period of time, like the White Bull King, but since
If you make the wrong move, you are destined to perish."
"Like the Fox Clan?"
"Yes." The woman lowered her head slightly, giving people a very low attitude, "We Yuezhou foxes, like Xuzhou Yanzi, are the only fox monsters in the world with inheritance. The difference between other fox monsters and Yuezhou foxes
Just like the difference between ordinary swallows that become spirits and Anqing swallows. Our ancestors are amazing, even in the ancient times when there were powerful people all over the world, they were amazing, so they left behind a great inheritance."
The maid next to me continued to eat the chicken.
Only Empress Sanhua competed with her.
The mutton soup in the casserole was slowly heating up. She picked up the spoon without ceremony, then took the bowls of herself and the little girl, filled a large bowl, and the two figures, one large and one small, looked at each other.
The devouring process began again, as if it were a competition.
The Taoist drank and talked with the woman.
"It's just that later the way of heaven changed, and many human monks who deserved immortality turned into loess, and many roads to immortality were blocked. Demons ranked behind humans, but they were only at the back. Nowadays, wanting to live forever has become more and more difficult.
It’s getting harder and harder.” The woman said, “So we, the foxes in Yuezhou, are gradually declining, and the other demon clans in Yuezhou have to find their own way out.”
"What kind of big monsters are there?"
While smelling, the Taoist priest glanced at his cat out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the little girl had finished drinking the rice wine in the bowl, he stood up, opened the lid of the clay pot, and drank from the inside. He couldn't help but remind him:
"Miss Sanhua, you should drink in moderation."
"This is not wine! This is work!"
"It has to be the right amount."
"I know, I know……"
Sanhua Empress responded and scooped out a full bowl.
"My clan is descended from the Nine Tails in ancient times. It is considered a branch. There is a willow demon in the north of Yuezhou. It is an ancient tree that is thousands of years old. It is also a branch. I heard that the willow tree in ancient times has survived to this day. I don't know how many years it has been. Then
The White Bull King was originally from a tribe, but he actually took a wrong path. Although it was only one of the bull monsters who took the wrong path, in this case, the clan would definitely be exterminated by the Heavenly Palace." The fox monster said, "Before ancient times,
To the south of Yuezhou is Daze, which has now been turned into fields. The white cattle were originally the white rhinoceros living there. In addition to them, there is also a tribe of Tao, who call themselves Tao Long or Ze Long, but there are not many left.
, there was great chaos in the north more than ten years ago, and they all ran out of Yuezhou to find other ways out. Taoist priests travel all over the world, and if you are destined, you may run into them."
"Is Shimo also here to find a 'way out'?"
"That's right."
"What do you call it?"
"It's to find a way out, and to avoid the chaos of war, so as not to be infected with the evil spirit, or to be implicated by other demons without being infected, and be exterminated by the Heavenly Palace." Miss Wanjiang couldn't help but shook her head helplessly at the Taoist, "Now we are no longer the demons and demons.
It’s an era when people are fighting side by side, Taoist Master doesn’t know how miserable we monsters are in this day and age.”
"Here's a toast."
"What are you honoring?"
"Just celebrate the winter solstice."
"Okay! Here's to the winter solstice!"
The woman twisted the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Only then did she gain some pride.
He usually lives alone at home, raising his head and drinking from a pot, showing a bit of boldness.
