Shang Yongye wanted to find out the truth from Ye Xiaochuan's mouth, and Ye Xiaochuan also wanted to know the current situation of Devil's Lake through Shang Yongye.
Fuchen quickly brought two jars of wine. The wine was very special. They must have brewed it themselves. The raw material used was probably not rice, but fruits.
In addition to the strong alcoholic nature, the taste is also a bit sour and sweet.
Ye Xiaochuan is a good drinker. How could he not drink seven or eight pounds in these years?
He only took a sip, then squeaked and said in surprise: "Brother Yongye, this wine is very strange, it must be made from fruit.
Ye is also a drinker. He boasts that he has tasted all kinds of fine wines in the world, but he has never drunk this kind of fruit wine. I wonder what kind of wine it is?"
A hint of joy appeared at the corner of Shang Yongye's mouth.
Haha said: "It seems that Brother Ye is also a member of the same group. Yes, this is indeed brewed with fruit.
There is very little rice and food here, and the wine is usually distiller’s yeast purchased from China, or grape wine purchased from the city-states in the Western Regions.
This place is not far from Dead Lake, only a thousand miles away. In the outer swamp of Dead Lake lives a strange fruit called Oolong fruit.
Although the fruit is poisonous, the toxicity will disappear after being blended, refined and distilled. After being buried in the soil for three months, it was taken out and blended with water to create this bitter and sour oolong wine.
However, the yield of oolong fruit is very low, and the seven-color miasma of the rainbow outside the dead lake is highly poisonous, making it difficult for mortals to enter.
In Devil's Lake, only a few seniors have some of this wine.
Since Brother Ye likes it, let’s drink more tonight.”
There are so many topics for women to mingle with each other, such as hair accessories, jewelry, manicures, etc., two strangers can instantly become best friends.
The same goes for men.
When they have a common topic, two strangers will soon become inseparable friends.
Shang Yongye was not good at lust and power.
He has two biggest hobbies in his life.
One is to practice Taoism and pursue eternal power.
The second is the thing that penetrates the intestines in the cup.
After several conversations, he already knew that the Ye Zongci in front of him was definitely not complimenting himself by saying that oolong wine was special, but that he was really good at wine and understood wine well.
The two of them originally wanted to test each other.
As a result, the topic kept talking about wine.
"Shaoxing rice wine, Shuzhong monkey, and Luoyang Dukang can relieve worries.
Guanzhong glutinous rice wine, Chizhou Qu, Erguotou once choked the donkey.
Hengshui Baigan, Jiangnan rice, the mellow aroma must belong to Yanghequ..." Listening to Shang Yongye's singing, Ye Xiaochuan was astonished.
I am a good boy, this is incredible.
Ye Xiaochuan boasted that his understanding of wine was no worse than his old alcoholic master. He didn't expect that he would meet a master of wine in the borderland of the Western Regions! However, it was no surprise after thinking about it.
He can meet Long Tianshan who is proficient in cooking in the Demon Cult.
Nowadays, it is not too strange to meet Shang Yongye who is proficient in all kinds of fine wines.
As the saying goes, when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups is too little.
Through wine, Ye Xiaochuan and Shang Yongye seemed to have the feeling of regretting meeting each other late.
The two of them didn't talk about anything. They just talked about the evaluation of various wines for a full hour.
Tian Yu, who was watching next to him, looked confused.
However, Tianyu didn't come close. She didn't want to reveal the secret that she was conjoined, so she stayed far away from the two of them.
In the valley, Ye Xiaochuan and Shang Yongye became more and more excited as they chatted.
Fortunately, both of them are masters of cultivation and have firm minds.
Otherwise, through this chat, they might immediately burn the yellow paper, chop off the chicken heads, and become brothers with different surnames on the spot.
After a long time, Shang Yongye said with emotion: "I have always thought that I, Shang Yongye, am the person who loves wine the most and knows how to drink. When I see Brother Ye tonight, I know that I am sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
Ye Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Wine is not only a fiery liquid, but also a culture, a regional characteristic, and a microcosm of an era. Some people understand a period of history and regional culture through historical books.
And I understand them through wine.”
Shang Yongye sighed in admiration, drank three large bowls, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, okay, that's good! Today, Yongye is able to see Brother Ye. I am so lucky in my life. Come on, come and see!"
After chatting about the wine culture for an hour, the two sides were very interested in each other, and the grudge between each other also weakened a lot.
Shang Yongye said: "Brother Ye, I wonder what you and Junior Sister Ling are doing at Devil's Lake this time?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "It's nothing. My master passed away in immortality in Guming Mountain not long ago. Before he died, he asked me to go out and have a look to increase my experience and strengthen my mind.
I went to the temple not long ago, and then I went to Bachi Mountain. I experienced some bad things and felt that the north was too chaotic, so I simply came to the south to have a look.
However, this Devil's Lake is really too big, and there are too many islands in the lake, which are densely covered with stars, and there are countless people. I don't know anyone here, so I will rest here tonight, and I never expected to meet Brother Yongye."
Shang Yongye nodded slightly. He also knew that Ye Xiaochuan's whereabouts were in the temple and Bachi Mountain not long ago, and he did not have any doubts about Ye Xiaochuan's words.
He smiled and said: "This is God's will.
If it weren't for tonight, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you and me to meet each other in this life.
It would really be the biggest regret in life if we miss Brother Ye, our confidant in drinking."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Ye Xiaochuan asked Shang Yongye about the casual cultivators in Devil Lake on the grounds that he was new here.
Cultivators must not judge their age based on their appearance. Even though Shang Yongye looks like he is in his early thirties now, his real age is at least one hundred and fifty years old, which should be about the same age as Long Tianshan.
This person has lived in Devil's Lake for nearly two hundred years, so he naturally knows everything here.
He did not doubt Ye Xiaochuan's identity, so he briefly described the situation of Devil's Lake.
Although Devil's Lake is a casual cultivator, it is also divided into factions.
The force that Shang Yongye belongs to belongs to the Devil Lake Tianhejiao family.
The leader of this group is the Disha Demon Lord, one of the six demons. They do not live on islands in the lake, but are scattered throughout the area of 100 miles around Tianhejiao.
Almost all the casual cultivators in this group of forces, like Guo Zifeng and Jin Mushi, belong to the Demon Sect.
There are also several stronger branches in Devil's Lake.
There are several branches of the Demon Sect and several branches of the Ghost Sect.
The most powerful ghost sect forces in Devil Lake are Wu Xueshuang and Wen He.
These two are the eldest sisters of a line of casual cultivators from the Devil Lake Ghost Sect. There are nearly 20,000 ghost cultivators in Devil Lake, and they all look up to them.
In addition to the difference between the Demon Sect and the Ghost Sect, there are also the casual cultivators of the Five Elements Banner, the casual cultivators who are independent of each sect, etc.
Its complexity made Ye Xiaochuan stunned.
He originally thought that these casual cultivators were independent and did not interfere with each other.
It’s unbelievable that there are so many truths hidden in it.
Ye Cha sighed and said: "What is Jianghu?
Wherever there are people, there will be grievances, and grievances are like rivers and lakes.
As long as there are humans in the world, it is definitely not a pure land, so why is Devil's Lake an exception?"
