Chapter nine hundred and ninety nine rivers and lakes are like bitter wine
Chapter 999: Jianghu is like bitter wine
On the surface, this small leather drum looks exactly like the splash drum held by the grocer in the old days, but it is about two-thirds larger. Leng Ying knows the origin of this thing, Ximaoling Ancient Tomb, Shengli Dan,
There's another good thing about the skinned snare drum, and that thing is called the Soul Capture Talisman.
The soul-catching talisman is not a yellow paper charm used by Taoist priests to ward off evil spirits. It is an ancient prescription. The prescription records the preparation method of a medicine. After this medicine is made, it is called the soul-catching talisman. As the name suggests, it is a
Drugs that control one's sanity. As long as someone plants a soul-obsessing talisman unknowingly, it's like planting a time bomb in the other person's body. It's also the kind with a remote control. That skin-covered drum is
Remote control.
From the moment Xiao Jiji broke through the heavenly realm and returned to the base, he became uncharacteristically arrogant and domineering. He and Leng Ying completely assumed that those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. As long as they don't like it, they will be given a beating.
At worst, he had his hands and feet cut off, but he secretly planted soul-catching charms on all these people, including Qiu Bieli and Tong Qianzhan.
Leng Ying didn't know about all this. He never thought that Xiao Jiji's purpose of deliberately making trouble was to plant soul-destroying charms on all those who disobeyed. Even Leng Ying had hidden this matter. From the current situation
It seemed that this move was a precautionary measure, and it also revealed his true intention.
From the moment Xiao Jiji became a heavenly warrior, he had the idea of ​​controlling the entire Chinese martial arts. Sooner or later, Long Fengyang would be kicked away by him.
Long Fengyang is preparing to use thunderbolt means to eliminate dissidents. In a sense, it is equivalent to giving Xiao Jiji a chance, a chance to completely replace Long Fengyang. The trump card he relies on is those who have been planted with soul-destroying charms.
The ancient warriors.
Everyone has trump cards in their hands, and tomorrow will be the day of complete showdown. There can only be one winner in a life-and-death game.
Xu Qing was lying on the bed tossing and turning, always unable to fall asleep. He was thinking about what Long Fengyang said, the story of Zhao Jiuzhong. Whenever he thought of that story, he would feel like there was a sharp knife hanging in the air on his neck, and something seemed to appear in his mind.
There was a scene of killing people. In a place that looked like a slaughterhouse, there was a guy in a yellow robe holding a sharp knife in his hand and dissecting a naked corpse on the chopping board, disemboweling it, and reaching into the cavity of the corpse.
When he took it out, he found a bloody inner elixir...
Heavenly realm warriors could be killed by those in power in the Cold Weapon Age. But in modern times, if those in power really wanted to kill an ancient warrior, they could come up with at least hundreds of ways. Long Fengyang mentioned the story of Zhao Jiuzhong
What's the purpose? Xu Qing was lying on the bed and counting thousands of sheep, but his mind was still in a mess and he had no clue. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to sleep if he didn't ask things clearly today.
Turning over and sitting up, Xu Qing took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Long Fengyang's number. He was only thinking about his own affairs now and didn't care whether he was disturbing other people's rest.
Long Fengyang quickly answered the phone, but when Xu Qing expressed his doubts, he did not answer directly. He only said that he should come to the General Staff Headquarters for a drink now, and he would naturally give him a satisfactory answer by then.
It was already two o'clock in the morning. Fortunately, it didn't take long to run to the General Staff Headquarters. Xu Qing immediately put on his shirt and pants and went out. He only knew that if he didn't figure out this problem, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully today. As for drinking,
It doesn't matter.
He quickly ran downstairs to the General Staff Headquarters and looked up to find that one of the offices was still lit. Xu Qing quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of the office with the lights on.
"Come in, the door is unlocked." Long Fengyang's slightly hoarse voice came. Xu Qing opened the door and walked in. He saw the General Staff sitting alone behind the mahogany desk. On the table was a jar of unopened mud seals.
old wine, two pottery bowls with ruffle edges, and a large bag of spiced beef jerky.
"Come sit here and have a few drinks with me." A smile appeared on Long Fengyang's serious cheek, and he began to grab the wine jar, unseal it and pour the wine. As the brown amber wine was poured into the bowl, a strong aroma appeared.
The aroma of wine instantly spread in the air, and even Xu Qing, who was a few meters away, could smell the aroma.
This guy was originally a drinker. He had been wallowing in yellow soup and white water with his adoptive father since he was a child. When he suddenly smelled this fragrant old wine, how could he not get the alcohol bug in his stomach? He hurriedly stepped forward to drink it.
Bu sat down opposite Long Fengyang.
Nowadays, most wines, regardless of quality, are bottled. A truly fine wine packaged in a wine jar like this must be an old wine. From the smell of the wine, you will know that the price of this wine must be high.
Long Fengyang pushed a bowl of wine in front of Xu Qing and said with a smile: "This wine is the Zhuangyuanhong that my father buried on the first day I was born. A total of ten jars were buried, and there are five jars left. I will give it to Mr. Wang tomorrow."
Send two jars over."
Xu Qing held up the wine bowl and put it to the middle of the crowd and took a deep breath. A strong aroma of wine penetrated the spleen and lungs. Just smelling the aroma made people feel dazzled. It was true that everyone would become intoxicated even if they were not drunk.
The aroma is comparable to drinking a full cup.
"Good wine, really good wine." Xu Qing praised, put the wine bowl back on the table, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Long, the wine is good wine, but if you drink it now, you will be blind. I have something on my mind.
Just drink it in one gulp and it will be wasted."
There was a hint of admiration on the corner of Long Fengyang's mouth. There were not many people who could put down their bowls in front of the wine. Ordinary people couldn't achieve this kind of determination.
"You want to ask me why I mentioned Zhao Jiuzhong's story, right?" Long Fengyang smiled indifferently, but he actually pretended to be a bit off, as if he suddenly suffered from cerebral palsy and completely forgot what he said before calling Xu Qinglai.
Xu Qing frowned and said, "Brother Long, if you continue to slander me, I won't know what to say except swearing." If it had been someone else, he might have already cursed.
Long Fengyang raised the bowl to his mouth and took a sip. He sighed softly and said: "You are not stupid. You should be able to guess that it was not my intention to capture Xiao Jiji and Leng Ying. It can be understood as their appearance.
It breaks a certain inherent balance, just like when Zhao Jiuzhong killed many ancient warriors, you know the truth that a tree that is as beautiful as Lin Feng will be destroyed."
Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and whispered: "Brother Long, I understand, people must not only be good at doing things, but also know how to hide their clumsiness. Sometimes a fool who is harmless to humans and animals can live longer.
, come, I respect you!"
Long Fengyang smiled, picked up the wine bowl and touched it with him, and said in a low voice: "The brave man is fearless and will die without knowing anything, and the wise man can live for hundreds of years. You kid finally realized it. Come on, let's go!" Bang! The two wine bowls clinked together.
They were together, and then they poured the wine into their throats. The two looked at each other and smiled, but there was a faint bitterness between their lips and teeth that seemed like someone who couldn't help but be in the world.
