A long time ago, I was going to explore the tomb of Qin Shihuang. At that time, Uncle Quan specially asked me to go to Liucun to sharpen myself.
But my trip to Willow Village was not so peaceful. The drunkard, the butcher, Tian Sanniang, and even the willow tree demon... what happened between them far exceeded my expectations, but it also made me...
I grew a lot from it.
When I returned to Liucun, I deliberately left some disciples at the entrance of the village.
This Liucun is a small village, so many people came in at once, I was afraid that the villagers would be frightened.
I took Yunyue, Yisong and Zhao Shijie into the village.
As soon as I entered, I saw many villagers I knew well.
Soon, the villagers recognized me one after another and were surprised.
"Is it Ling Feng?"
"Ling Feng, are you back?"
When I first came to Liucun, I had some troubles with the villagers.
But later on, these villagers became close to me, and they were a little reluctant to leave until I left.
Now, when I came back again, I quickly received a warm welcome from them.
I took a look and found that most of the villagers were still building their buildings. Among them, there were many newborn babies. Obviously, after the incident with the Willow Tree Demon, Willow Village had finally seen the light of day and had regained a lot of its vitality.
After saying hello to the villagers, I took Yunyue and the others to the drunkard's house.
I looked around and saw that the drunkard's house was empty and no one was there. I asked a nearby villager and said that the drunkard should be at the butcher's house.
A few minutes later, I arrived at the butcher's house, and at a glance I saw two figures drinking wine in the house. It was such a pleasant life.
I laughed evilly and deliberately kicked down the dilapidated door.
The door of the house fell down with a bang, and the drunkard who was drinking inside saw it and immediately jumped up and shouted outside.
"Where did this little bastard come from and dare to kick in the door?"
The drunkard ran out angrily, but when he saw it was me, he was stunned on the spot.
"Old drunkard, long time no see." I touched my nose and said with a smile.
The drunkard was a little surprised, and then he laughed a few times, "Hey, I thought he was a gangster from somewhere, but it turns out it's you, a little guy. Yes, he even came to see us two lonely old people."
After the drunkard finished speaking, the butcher also came out.
I took a closer look and saw that the butcher's temples were now white.
When I saw it, a complex emotion flashed through my heart.
When I came to Liucun, the butcher was not that old, but after Tian Sanniang died, the butcher suddenly aged more than ten years. Now, his temples are white and his old face also has some wrinkles.
"Senior Butcher." I hugged the Butcher respectfully.
The butcher nodded slightly and said, "Come in."
"good!"
I didn't hesitate and entered the room immediately.
There was a bit of chaos in the house. These two old guys probably just drank every day. Tian Sanniang was not here and there was no one to clean up the mess.
Sitting at the table, the drunkard poured me a glass of wine and said, "You're here just in time, little guy. This is the Baigui wine I just brewed, so it's an advantage for you."
As soon as the drunkard finished speaking, Yunyue and Yisong behind me were a little surprised.
"Ghosts can also make wine?" Zhao Shijie, who had been silent on the side, couldn't help but ask.
The drinker chuckled, glanced at Zhao Shijie, and said meaningfully: "This brewing is about the heart, not the materials... Just like you, what you kill is not people, but loneliness..."
The drunkard's words were a bit strange, but Zhao Shijie's expression changed slightly when he heard them.
"Okay, I won't say any more, little guy, it's really not fun for you to come now to fight against Qishan." The drunkard laughed.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, during the battle in Qishan, the drunkard and the butcher personally came to save me. Later, because of Han Yun's death, I carried Han Yun's body down Qishan and headed north. At that time, I did not have time to say thank you to the drunkard and the butcher.
"Thank you for your help, the Drunkard and the Butcher. I will drink this cup of Baigui Liquor first as a token of my respect."
As I said that, I raised my glass and drank it all in one gulp, causing the drunkards to cheer again and again!
After drinking Baigui Liquor, I suddenly felt a warmth in my body. Then, a trace of vigorous power seemed to be derived and integrated into my blood, making me feel refreshed!
"Good wine!" I couldn't help but clapped my hands.
"That's right, Old Man Biquan knows a lot more about things..."
The drunkard smiled, then refilled my cup, and then started talking like a drunkard.
After more than half an hour, the drunkard's chatter was almost done, so I stood up on my own initiative and said I wanted to see Sanniang.
The drunkard looked at the butcher, and the butcher nodded to me and said, "Go ahead."
I said hello and immediately left the house and walked to Tian Sanniang's grave.
Tian Sanniang was so graceful that day, but she happened to bump into a stupid young man like me.
I sat down in front of Tian Sanniang’s tombstone, then lit a handful of incense and burned some paper money for her.
"Sanniang, I'm back to see you."
When I looked at the tombstone, I felt a little indescribable.
When I first came to Liushu Village, because of the snake demon murder incident, I became a murderer in the eyes of the villagers.
When I was almost arrested by the villagers, it was Tian Sanniang who stepped forward and used her fierce behavior to bring me home under the strange eyes of the villagers.
Tian Sanniang, who was considered unruly by the villagers, was cooking, washing, dressing my wounds, and even quarreled with her father, the butcher, because of me.
And before I could repay her for all this, she was killed by the willow tree demon.
In the end, even though I avenged her, her passing still gave me a big blow...
"Sanniang, these are your favorite foods. I also bought this set of clothes from outside. You must like them very much."
I laid out all the things that Sanniang loved to eat before she was alive, and then burned the clothes that I bought out specially according to her style and hobbies outside and gave them to her.
Brand new clothes were slowly burning in front of the tombstone. In the wisps of flames, I seemed to see the appearance of a woman with a beautiful face but extremely fierce eyes.
I murmured a little for a while, and my eyes couldn't help but get a little wet...
After a while, I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.
I turned around and found that the butcher had been standing behind me at some point, his eyes red.
Apparently, he also thought of his daughter.
Even though he was quarreling every day during his lifetime, after his death, this lonely old man still missed his only daughter from time to time...
I stood up, and at this time, the drunkard also came over.
"You two, Sanniang is gone, you just let her be happy in heaven." The drunkard said quickly.
I nodded.
At this time, the drunkard changed the topic and smiled brightly at me: "Little guy, you came back this time not just to see us two old guys, right?"
As smart as an alcoholic, he immediately guessed that my intention of coming back was not that simple.
"When I come back this time, I actually want to invite these two seniors to come out of Liu Village and join me in Maoshan to be guest elders."
"Enter Maoshan? We two old antiques are used to staying in Liucun. Besides, your Maoshan is strong enough. It won't be too much if you have two of us, and it won't be too much if you have two of us..."
I shook my head and smiled bitterly.
Indeed, Maoshan is strong enough now, but this is only compared to other righteous disciples.
If compared with the Xitian Sect, I, Maoshan, am still much weaker.
I didn't hide anything, and told the drunkard and the butcher everything about the origin of Xitian Sect from the Buddhist world and the records about the power of faith left by Zhenjun Sanmao.
When I finished speaking, I saw a look of solemnity on the old faces of the drunkard and the butcher.
Even they are aware of the huge threat posed by the Western Sect.
The drunkard took a sip of wine, sighed, and said to the butcher beside him: "It seems that the sixth realm is finally coming..."
"Do you also know about the sixth realm?" I asked.
"Hey, we know a lot more than this little guy in. There were six realms in ancient times, but the sixth realm was not connected to the other five realms, so it has been forgotten by people. Now that I hear you say this, I'm afraid that
The Buddhist world has found its way into other interfaces.”
I couldn't help but frown and said: "That's why I want to invite the two seniors to come out. I have captured an important figure in the Xitian Sect. I am afraid that the Xitian Sect will come to attack my Maoshan soon..."
The drunkard looked at the butcher on the side, and the two old antiques looked at each other. Then the drunkard nodded slightly and said: "Well, for Sanniang's sake, I will agree to it this time, but I have a condition.
"
The butcher didn't say anything, but the drunkard made me a request.
I said: "Senior Drunkard, please tell me."
"Hey, I heard that you Maoshan also has a lot of fine wines. My request is that the supply of this wine cannot be cut off..."
I couldn't laugh or cry. What kind of request did I think I would make? It turned out that I was interested in Maoshan's Tibetan wine.
The drinker was right. Maoshan has been passed down for so many years, so it has naturally left behind a lot of things, and this wine is naturally indispensable.
"Don't worry, senior drunkard, I have built a residence for you next to the wine cellar. You will live there when the time comes. When the time comes, you can hold the wine glass and sleep on the wine jar when you are drunk!"
"Haha, you little guy still understands me..."
The drunkard laughed loudly, and I felt happy too.
There is no doubt about the strength of the drunkard and the butcher. Now that the two of them have agreed, this will undoubtedly make Maoshan even more powerful.
That night I stayed to drink with the drunkard and the butcher. The three of us drank more than a dozen bottles with a few plates of side dishes. I was the worst drinker, and I was a little confused by the drink. But to my surprise, I didn't do anything.
Zhao Shijie, who was talking, took the initiative to help me stop drinking. In the end, even the drunkard and the butcher couldn't drink more than him...
The next day, the drunkard and the butcher took the road back to Maoshan, while I took Yunyue and the others to another place where a worldly master lived in seclusion according to the records in the booklet.
And this time, the hidden master I am going to invite is a very beautiful woman...
[Author's digression]: Next, the protagonist will invite experts hidden in the human world to strengthen Maoshan in preparation for the decisive battle with the Xitian Sect! Thank you for the rewards, brothers and sisters, I love you!
