Entering the tent, the Horse-Faced Guard ordered his men, "We have guests coming from afar, please prepare a feast for them. Do not neglect this immortal!"
Everyone sat down as host and guest, and soon a sumptuous banquet was set out, which included mushrooms and fruits from the forest and wild beasts from the mountains.
Duan Shaoqing looked at the sumptuous dinner prepared by everyone to entertain him, and said with reluctance: "You all have come from far away. Although I am a guest, I have not fulfilled my duties as a host here. Please forgive me. But I do have some rare things with me. I hope you can taste them and relieve my regret!" After that, he took out the gourd beside him and poured it into the wine glass.
Suddenly, everyone smelled a faint aroma of wine, which came from the darkness, refreshing their hearts and minds. In the complicated world, they suddenly felt relaxed and refreshed, and their spirits were lifted. The complicated thoughts were purified and sublimated in the aroma of wine, making people feel refreshed.
The Horse-Faced General could not help but say: "What a good wine! It is truly a rare treasure in the world!"
Duan Shaoqing said politely: "This is a barbarian land, and the food is crude and unrefined. Please..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and several wine glasses flew into the air and were delivered to everyone. The wine in the glass was clear and transparent, and under the light, it emitted a faint golden light, and the refreshing aroma lingered in the big tent.
Everyone couldn't help but take the wine cup and drink it all. Wu Yugang felt that the wine was fragrant and fragrant when he took a sip, and a line of fire entered his stomach, and his whole body suddenly felt hot, which was really unbearable. Wu Yugang suddenly wanted to use his power to suppress this feeling of dryness and heat, but suddenly a cool air filled his whole body, and even every pore felt comfortable. It was a feeling that made people feel like they were in heaven and dying, which was hard to describe. Everyone was immersed in the joy of drinking.
Wine was originally created by heaven and passed down to the spirit beasts and apes in the world. The apes and other creatures collected wild fruit seeds in the mountains and stored them in stone mortars. Over time, wine was brewed. Later, someone ate this thing in the mountains and felt that it tasted very good. He secretly watched the apes make wine and spread it to people. Later, there were wine-making masters such as Yi Di and Du Kang, who carried forward this technique and made the world have this exquisite wine made from grains. Therefore, people flocked to it. Although wine is a thing from the immortals, it is rare, but drinking too much is not good, otherwise there would not be those drunkards who drink and ruin the country.
In his joy, Chen Qingzhi suddenly asked, "Who is Master You, and where did this treasure come from?"
Duan Shaoqing smiled and said, "I was originally a prince of the Dali Kingdom. I was tired of the mundane world, so I traveled around. Later, I met the immortal master Xuantian Taoist priest, who gave me the guidance. I cultivated the immortal arts in a thatched cottage. I am sorry to see you all laughing at me!" Chen Qingzhi listened to what this person said and couldn't help but admire him very much. After all, such people are rare, and his life experience and ability allowed him to cultivate the immortal arts. His Taoism must be very powerful.
"The origin of this wine is extraordinary. I collected hundreds of fruits in the mountains, such as kudzu root. I also mixed it with plum dates given by the immortal master, and used pure yang fire to refine it for 49 days to get this thing. It is also a rare thing. Mortals who drink this can prolong their lifespan and get rid of disasters and diseases. Immortals who drink it can become clearer." Duan Shaoqing narrated.
Listening to Duan's words, people nodded silently and praised him secretly. However, Wu Yugang was overjoyed when he heard him mention the immortal master, Taoist Xuantian. When Duan Shaoqing paused, Wu Yugang suddenly said, "Your immortal master is Taoist Xuantian, do you know the real person Jingxu!?"
After hearing Wu Yugang's words, Duan Shaoqing asked in confusion: "But is it Jingxu Zhenren from Xianyuan Island? He is my master's friend!"
"Ah!" Hearing this, Wu Yugang screamed, "I didn't know you were here, I hope you can forgive me. I am your junior brother whom you have never met, Wu Chenzi!"
Duan Shaoqing helped Wu Yugang, who bowed to the ground, up and said, "I have heard of you from my master before. I didn't expect to see you here again. It is a great honor. My Taoist name is Wuyazi, and I have been practicing on my own in Dali Mountain for a long time!"
"I didn't know that Brother Immortal was here. I'm honored to meet you!" Yang Chenguang bowed and saluted.
"We are all family, there is no need to be so formal!" The Horse-Faced General was trying to smooth things over, making the relationship even closer. Everyone was excited by what the Horse-Faced General said, and there was a bit more joy in the big tent.
"There is one thing I am not clear about, I don't know whether I should tell you or not!" Wuyazi asked everyone with some doubt.
The Horse-Faced General said, "I am the commander-in-chief here and he is the military supervisor. You can say whatever you want." Chen Qianzhi smiled and nodded.
"Now that everyone in Shushan has fled, what are your plans for the next step? I wonder if you can be of any use to me." Wuyazi said to everyone.
"Isn't it too early to stop fighting now?" The Horse-faced General looked at Chen Qianzhi with confusion, not knowing where to start.
The military supervisor Chen Qingzhi looked at the puzzled Horse-faced General and said, "The main force can be withdrawn, but the elite troops and generals must be arranged elsewhere. If the disaster is not eliminated, how can the world be peaceful? Even if we stop fighting here, we must make other arrangements to prevent the Shushan people from making a comeback."
"Sir, this plan is brilliant. The large army has already frightened those people. Then we can send elite soldiers to wipe them out. This is indeed a good idea, but what should we do now?" Wuyazi was puzzled.
"Ceasing the war now will reassure the people. You can withdraw now, so as not to lose the reputation of a righteous army." The military supervisor Chen Qingzhi acted decisively and spoke without delay.
"Okay! In that case, please let me know if you need my help." Wuyazi said generously, "But my junior brother has come a long way, can you please have a word with me? I have only heard of you from Master, but have never met you. Today is a rare opportunity!"
While we were talking, three rounds of wine had already been drunk and five dishes had been prepared.
Military Supervisor Chen Qingzhi said: "We can withdraw our troops and make other arrangements. But--." As he spoke, Chen Qingzhi turned his gaze to Wu Yuguang.
Wu Yugang saw the military supervisor's look and knew that he was worried about his misunderstanding, so he said cheerfully: "Things have come to this point. The great danger has been eliminated and the great difficulty has been resolved. The remaining petty thieves and bandits will be easy to deal with. The military supervisor can make arrangements for them. It is not easy to meet Brother Xian here. It is not a bad idea for me to follow Brother Xian to have a chat!"
Wuyazi said happily: "That's exactly what I want. This is how fellow disciples should behave. We can also communicate with each other so as to improve our cultivation and learn from each other!"
The Horse-Faced General looked at the people who were negotiating and said, "Since that's the case, I have military duties to attend to, so let's do as we please!"
"Don't be so polite! People in the martial arts world don't care about trivial matters! Let's just do as we please. There's no point in staying any longer, so I'm taking my leave now!" Wuyazi led Wu Yuguang out of the tent and flew away.
During the flight, Wu Yugang asked his senior brother: "I heard that witchcraft is rampant here, but I don't know where these witchcrafts come from!"
Wuyazi looked at this clever junior fellow and said, "It has been said for a long time. The witchcraft popular here originated from the time of Chiyou!" (To be continued)
