Of course, Gu Mian's scruples about Xi Zhong are because of Xi Zhong's current status, which means that she will be more careful when getting along and try not to make Xi Zhong unhappy.
But now Xi Zhong takes the initiative to reconcile, which is what Gu Mian is happy to see.
Therefore, Gu Mian was quite happy for a while.
Getting along with Xi Zhong became cautious.
But the vigilance towards Xi Zhong became less.
Everyone was enjoying themselves, exchanging cups and cups.
The chatting, laughing, eating and drinking at the table is coming to an end.
But no one drank the jar of wine that Xi Zhong brought.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to drink, but because Xi Zhong hasn't spoken yet.
The wine was brought by Xi Zhong, and they also knew that this jar of wine was the fine wine collected by Manager Zhang, so they naturally wanted to drink it.
However, Xi Zhong did not speak.
Yes, although everyone was apparently enjoying themselves eating and drinking, they were still wary of Xi Zhong's identity.
Xi Zhong didn't say he could drink it, and no one dared to open the wine seal, right?
As for Xi Zhong, although everyone's eyes were on the jar of wine beside him, he still pretended to turn a blind eye and refused to open the jar anyway.
Everyone looked at each other secretly, and there was something meaningful in their eyes.
You and Xi Zhong both said you wanted to reconcile, but you refused to give us a sip of the wine. Is it possible that your reconciliation was just lip service?
Gu Mian naturally noticed the gazes of his brothers and gave them a comforting look without any trace. Then he looked at Xi Zhong and asked with a smile: "Junior brother Xi Zhong, that jar of wine next to you is really
Did you get it from Manager Zhang?"
Xi Zhong smiled and nodded, "That's natural. It took a lot of effort to plead with me, but Manager Zhang was willing to give it to me."
Gu Mian licked her lips and made a greedy expression like an alcoholic, "In that case, Junior Brother Xi Zhong might as well open the wine and give us senior brothers a few drinks?"
Hearing this, Xi Zhong sneered inwardly, "Hey, are you in such a hurry to get on the road?"
But on the surface, he still smiled and pointed to the wine glasses on the table where there was still a lot of wine, and said: "Brothers, the wine on your table has not been drunk yet, I will not let this jar of wine be served, otherwise the wine will be
The taste ruins the jar of wine I specially brought."
So that’s it.
Everyone looked at each other.
Then with smiles on their faces, they drank all the remaining wine on the table, and at the same time poured out the remaining wine in the wine jar and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking so much wine at once, everyone's faces turned redder and redder, and their words began to stutter slightly.
Gu Mian said with a smile: "Junior brother Xi Zhong, now we can finally let our king of wine come up, right?"
Xi Zhong smiled and nodded, "Of course, I brought this wine to enjoy it with all the senior brothers."
After saying that, he placed the wine jar next to him, which had never been opened, on the wine table.
Gu Mian reached out and opened the wine seal.
Sure enough, as soon as the seal of the wine was opened, the aroma of the wine began to fill the air.
Even if you haven't drank it yet, you can tell that it is dozens of times better than the crude wine that everyone drank before.
One disciple couldn't wait any longer, so he directly picked up the wine jar and poured wine into his own wine glass.
Others are dissatisfied.
Gu Mian frowned and said, "Brother, this wine belongs to everyone, how can you enjoy it all by yourself? Hurry and pour it for us too!"
"That's right, fill up this empty wine glass quickly. My wine glass has never been filled with such good wine!"
"You kid knows how to drink alone!"
"Junior Brother Xi Zhong is still here, how can you show such an ugly face?"
"..."
Everyone's condemnation made the disciple smile awkwardly after pouring the wine, and then poured wine for everyone.
Xi Zhong waved his hands with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. It seems that this senior brother is also a good drinker. Seeing good wine when a good drinker sees good wine is the same as seeing a beautiful woman when a lustful person sees it. It's understandable to be so anxious, and I can understand it."
When Gu Mian and the others heard this, they looked at each other and laughed.
Gu Mian said: "Junior Brother Xi Zhong's theory is quite insightful."
Xi Zhong smiled and said, "That's right."
now.
The good wine disciple had already filled everyone's wine glasses with wine, and then he couldn't wait to raise the wine glass, "Everyone, hurry up! You can't let down the wine now!"
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses to clink their glasses.
Even Xi Zhong raised his glass and clinked it with them with a smile.
Then everyone raised their heads and drank the wine.
But only one person hasn't finished drinking yet.
That is Gu Mian.
After clinking glasses, a glint flashed in Gu Mian's eyes, and she raised her head and pretended to drink, but in fact her eyes were always focused on Xi Zhong.
He is not stupid. He can do so well in the outer sect, which eats people without spitting out their bones, and he can also become a little leader who leads the outer sect disciples. He does not rely on his strength, but his wisdom and inner sect.
That cousin.
Of course, if you just rely on others and have no intelligence, then it will be a problem for Gu Mian, let alone becoming the leader of these disciples, whether he can survive in this outer sect.
After Gu Mian saw Xi Zhong drinking the wine in his glass in one gulp, Gu Mian breathed a sigh of relief and drank his own glass of wine.
In fact, Xi Zhong, who had been secretly paying attention to Gu Mian, had a sneer on his lips at this moment.
It seems that these outer sect leaders and stewards are also some guys who think they are a little clever.
Since I have decided to come here to kill you, how could I make you suspicious? I will definitely cooperate with you.
If it was Xi Zhong, then he would definitely let these brothers drink first, then wait for a while, pretend to chat, and wait until these brothers are sure that there is nothing weird about the jar of wine, then they will drink.
Apart from being cruel, these guys have nothing to offer them.
No wonder I can only hang out outside.
Xi Zhong put down his wine glass and showed an extremely cold smile to Gu Mian.
Gu Mian, who had just finished the glass of wine, was horrified when he saw this smile. He said something bad to himself, and immediately got up and punched Xi Zhong in the direction of Xi Zhong.
The other brothers were very surprised by Gu Mian's punch.
Didn't we just talk about reconciliation? Why did they start fighting again?
They were about to get up and try to dissuade him, but at this moment they felt their eyelids were heavy and their legs were weak.
"thump!"
The five disciples immediately lay down on the table and fell asleep completely.
Xi Zhong, who had been well prepared, easily dodged Gu Mian's punch. Immediately afterwards, Gu Mian felt his legs weaken. He didn't have time to smile bitterly and realized that he had fallen into the trap. His vision went dark and he fell completely to the ground.
You know, Gu Mian is a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but even so, the effect of the Ecstasy Grass took effect instantly.
Xi Zhong looked at the sleeping disciples ranging from the third to the sixth level of Qi Refining and sighed, "Should I say that the monks at the Qi Refining level are too weak, or should I say that the effect of the Ecstasy Grass is too strong?"
Thinking of this, Xi Zhong had doubts about this path of cultivating immortality.
It seems that this journey of cultivating immortality is not as spectacular as I imagined.
People in the lower class still cannot live without the fireworks of the world.
I heard that Han Lue said that even if the Zen sect advocates wisdom, you should eat normally.
Although this sect leader eats some great supplements that are beneficial to cultivation every day, it still shows that a strong person in the spiritual void realm still needs to eat and drink water.
Only when you reach the bigu state can you eat clouds and drink dew, rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to survive, and completely break away from the mortal body.
As for the magnificent magical power of soaring in the clouds, riding on the mist, riding the wind, and traveling far away, it requires at least a strong person in the Light Enlightenment realm to be able to use it.
Then in the later stages, those great gods and powerful beings can actually turn their hands to make clouds and rain, destroy mountains, steam rivers and fill the sea, and control mountains and rivers. These magical powers are simply child's play in the hands of those powerful cultivators.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhong shook his head again and sighed, "Don't talk about the Bigu Realm or becoming a great master in cultivating immortals. I don't even have spiritual roots now. It's a long way to go."
After sighing, Xi Zhong's eyes gradually turned cold. He looked at Gu Mian who had fallen on the ground and the five disciples lying on the table. He smiled slightly and said, "When you stopped me and Xiao Ping'er at the pass of the back mountain,
, have you ever thought that you would end up like this? Do you think that a mortal with no cultivation can do anything to you? "
After finishing speaking, Xi Zhong raised his head and glanced at the sky. At this moment, it was no longer dusk, but there was no light at all.
According to the time estimate of Xi Zhong's previous life, it should be around seven o'clock in the evening.
"Manager Zhang should be here soon." Xi Zhong murmured.
Then Xi Zhong walked outside the gate and sat on the threshold, waiting for Manager Zhang to arrive.
Xi Zhong informed Zhang Guanshi beforehand.
But at this moment, because the sky has completely darkened, this road that many disciples passed by during the day is now completely deserted, even if Xi Zhong is sitting on the threshold so arrogantly, it doesn't matter.
After a while, several figures slowly walked in the distance.
Xi Zhong took a closer look and saw that the leader was indeed Guanshi Zhang.
Manager Zhang was wiping cold sweat while leading people over.
Seeing Xi Zhong sitting on the threshold so arrogantly, he smiled bitterly in his heart, you kid was too careless, but on the surface he still asked cautiously: "Where are Gu Mian and the others?"
Xi Zhong smiled slightly, then reached back and pointed, "They are all asleep inside."
After hearing this, Manager Zhang glanced into the yard, then broke into a cold sweat and looked at Xi Zhong with a somewhat frightened look.
Gu Mian was originally a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and together with the other disciples at the second and fourth levels of Qi Refining, his combat prowess was not bad at all. Why was he knocked unconscious by this kid?
But he was no longer allowed to think too much. At this moment, Xi Zhong had already stood up and left, saying, "Manager Zhang, these people won't wake up tonight. You should know what to do, right? I know there is a place in the back mountain.
The land here is soft and easy to dig. I think Manager Zhang should also know that there will be no Gu Mian in the outer gate tomorrow. My cousin will remember your favor, do you understand?"
Manager Zhang nodded quickly, reluctantly nodded and smiled, "I understand."
