After refining many medicinal essences, adding some stalactites, and a lot of pure spring water taken by the little demon from the mountain springs, Yang Wu refined barrel after barrel of medicinal wine.
This medicinal wine has not yet passed through the weight of time, but the aroma of wine is already filling the air. The three heavenly demons twitched their index fingers when they heard it, and they really wanted to drink this medicinal wine on the spot.
After a day and a night of refining, the hundred barrels of medicinal wine were completely completed.
This medicinal wine is not like refining elixirs, it is relatively easy. At Yang Wu's current speed, he can still complete such output.
"Well, as long as it is left for another seven or forty-nine days, after the medicinal flavor has completely fermented, it can be taken out and drunk. However, it is best to keep this medicinal wine for a longer time. The longer the time, the more alcoholic it tastes. The more fragrant it is," Yang Wu reminded.
"Okay, with this wine, it will be enough for us brothers and sisters to drink for a while." The Sky Elephant Demon said with satisfaction.
"Come on, brother, I want to share one-third of this medicinal wine to prevent you from stealing it and drinking it." Barbarian Demon Niu said, and went over to hug the medicinal wine.
The tigress said unceremoniously: "That's right, brother, you always fail to show your credibility. Brother Yang Wu gave these wines to us, so they should be divided equally."
"Brother, how can you be so unbearable?" the Sky Elephant Demon said sadly.
"That's right!" the other two demons said in unison.
Yang Wu looked at the good relationship between the three brothers and sisters and was extremely envious. He said, "Time is a little tight this time. Next time I come, I will make more good wine for my two brothers and sisters."
"Okay." The three heavenly demons all responded happily.
In this way, Yang Wu did not hesitate any longer, and soon said goodbye to them and embarked on his return journey.
The three heavenly demons took him all the way to the foot of the Barbarian Mountains, which alarmed all the barbarians here.
"They are guardians. Why did they come down with a Daxia boy?"
"The guardians stay in the mountains all year round. They are rare to see for several years. Please bow down to them."
"Greetings, Lord Guardian, thank you for protecting our clan's safety and prosperity from generation to generation."
"Is that young man a distinguished guest of the Guardian? The three Guardians were talking and laughing with him."
…
"This brother Yang Wu will be a distinguished guest of our clan from now on. When you see him, it will be like seeing us." The Sky Elephant Demon solemnly announced to all the barbarians.
In this way, a young man named Yang Wu became famous in every tribe of the barbarians. Everyone was quickly inquiring about the young man's origins and finding out his situation. No matter who he was, they all wanted to make friends with him. .
After Yang Wu said goodbye to the three heavenly demons, he and Meng Bingxue returned to the Huangfu tribe with the barbarian soldiers.
Along the way, many barbarians followed. They all wanted to see what the young man looked like so that they could go back and report to the tribe, so as not to miss this distinguished guest in the future.
This time, Yang Wu had no time to enjoy the grassland scenery. He was already eager to return home, hoping to return to Daxia as soon as possible.
As long as his plan is implemented, no one can stop him from returning to the royal city.
One day later, Yang Wu returned to the Huangfu tribe.
This time, the Huangfu tribe's team that came out to welcome him was even more solemn. Not only Huangfu War Hero appeared, but Huangfu Taigeng and some clan elders also appeared one after another.
They all knew in advance that Yang Wu had become a distinguished guest of the three guardians. This also meant that Yang Wu had been recognized by the three guardians. Then they had no reason not to treat Yang Wu as a distinguished guest, and it was of the highest standard. Come to the reception.
That night, the Huangfu tribe held a large bonfire, singing and dancing, and it was extremely lively. Many barbarian women frequently presented Yang Wu with koumiss.
There were more than a dozen koumiss in front of Yang Wu, which made him a little dazed. Just when he was about to drink them one by one, he heard Huangfu Taigeng say quietly from the side: "Brother Yang Wu, which one do you like?" If you have a girl, you can take her as your wife and concubine if you drink up all her wine."
"Uh, what's the explanation for this?" Yang Wu asked in a daze.
"This is the custom of our tribe. Giving wine to men represents friendship. Women giving wine to men not only represents friendship, but also represents love. If you only regard her as a friend, just one drink is enough. , if you want to marry her, drink all the kumiss, and she will be yours." Huangfu Taigeng explained.
This time Yang Wu was dumbfounded.
He suddenly remembered the scene where he drank up all Huangfu Mingyu's koumiss before going to Manshen Mountain, and he felt a little panicked in his heart.
"Brother Yang Wu, what's wrong with you? No matter what you choose, you still have to drink. This is your respect for them." Huangfu Taigeng said when he saw Yang Wu in a daze.
Yang Wu came to his senses and took a sip of the koumiss one by one, not daring to drink it all again.
Although the girls who brought the kumiss were not satisfied, they quickly smiled and danced and hummed with the tribesmen without being too troubled.
"By the way, what if someone accidentally drinks all the wine and doesn't want to be responsible?" Yang Wu asked.
Huangfu Taigeng said: "Such a man will be castrated." After a pause, he added: "If he cannot be castrated, the woman will have to remain a widow for the rest of her life."
Yang Wu instantly felt a chill in his lower body. He pinched her for no reason, and then asked: "I wonder where the noble princess has gone? Why didn't she come out?"
"You said Ayu, she has already gone to the Holy Fire Sect." Huangfu Taigeng responded.
"Why did you go to the Holy Fire Cult?"
"She has extraordinary talent and has long been able to go to the Holy Fire Cult to take the exam. However, she is naturally playful, so she has been putting off going to the Holy Fire Cult without knowing how she changed her gender. It will not be easy to see her again in the future."
"It's really not easy." For some reason, when Yang Wu heard that Huangfu Mingyu had left the barbarians, he felt guilty in his heart. Looking at the extinguishing bonfire, he felt inexplicably sad.
Huangfu Mingyu should be Xiaoman's sister. He drank her wine and she was not joking when she said "You want to marry me", but she was very serious. Unfortunately, he rejected her. He was not castrated. Huangfu Mingyu knew that there was no way to castrate him, so would she remain a widow for him for the rest of her life
Thinking of this, he felt that this custom was really a scam. He didn't know it beforehand. Shouldn't it be "the one who doesn't know is not guilty?"
The night ended in the midst of laughter and laughter, but Yiren had already gone far away, and the faint sadness still lingered.
After daybreak, Yang Wu was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he bid farewell to Huangfu Zhanxiong and asked him to fulfill his agreement as soon as possible.
Huangfu Zhanxiong didn't delay at all, so Yang Wu could rest assured that he would carry out the things they had agreed upon as promised.
Yang Wu and Meng Bingxue went back together and got two horses, one was the blood dragon horse they rode when they came, and the other was the wild red rabbit horse they won from Huangfuluo Zhong.
Both horses are the best among horses, with extraordinary endurance, especially the wild red rabbit horse, which is not inferior to the blood dragon horse at all. If they are cultivated properly, they can become the king of horses.
Yang Wu wanted to ride back with Meng Bingxue each, but Meng Bingxue was unwilling. She would sit on whichever horse Yang Wu sat on. If she wanted to stick to Yang Wu, Yang Wu could only let her.
In this way, Yang Wu and Meng Bingxue returned towards the Langyan Mountains.
Naturally, there were barbarian soldiers personally escorting him back along the way.
Along the way, the grassland scenery is still infinitely beautiful, but pedestrians are already eager to return home and have no intention of lingering.
They stopped when they passed Xue Tieshou's lonely camp again.
It wasn't that they wanted to stop, but a dark-skinned boy stopped in front of them and blocked their way.
"Whoever dares to block the way of our distinguished guests, please get out of the way." The barbarian leader scolded the young man.
Yang Wu raised his hand to stop the barbarian general from speaking. He asked the young man, "What's wrong with you?"
"I...my adoptive father wants to buy you a drink." The young man said with a nervous and stuttering tone.
"Haha, it's my turn to treat him to a drink this time." Yang Wu laughed loudly and led Meng Bingxue towards the lonely tent.
Jingle, jingle, jingle!
In front of the camp was the blacksmithing place, and Xue Gui was still repeating his blacksmithing operations, and was not affected in any way by the arrival of Yang Wu and the others.
It can be seen that it was not Xue Gui who wanted to invite Yang Wu to drink, but the young man who invited Yang Wu over on his own initiative.
Yang Wu didn't dwell on the reason. He came to the iron stove and said, "I'll buy you a drink."
After saying that, he took off the kumiss from his waist and handed it over.
This man who was "a disgrace to the Great Xia" raised his head and put down the hammer and materials in his hands. He did not take Yang Wu's wine immediately, but asked: "Give me a reason to drink."
"You are a man, that's enough of a reason." Yang Wu said seriously.
In Daxia, everyone thought Xue Gui was a traitor, but Yang Wu now knew that not everyone could understand the suffering this man had to bear. From this lonely camp, he could guess that he was indeed a traitor. Man.
"That's not enough reason!" Xue Gui shook his head lightly.
"Then think of it as my return of gratitude." Yang Wu hesitated and said.
"This is barely enough, but it's still not enough." Xue Gui sighed.
"In that case, how about we toast to the peaceful coexistence of the two countries?"
"Can we coexist peacefully?"
"I said yes."
"Okay, I'll drink this wine."
…
Mare's milk wine, horse fat, fragrant milk, strong wine and choking. Respect men, heroes and peace. The wine is sprinkled in the sky and the earth, as evidenced by the sun and the moon.
When the wine was gone, the man murmured with blurred eyes: "It's time for me to go back."
"Then go back."
…
