The peach blossoms on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are red every year, but no old friends come with the wind. After thirty years of searching for old dreams, all I can get is a glass of wine in a golden bottle!
The sound of the guqin suddenly stopped, and the young man playing the guqin packed up the guqin and carried it on his back.
Looking at the river reflecting the peach blossoms on both sides, he said softly: "It's time to enter the city. The people who should come have almost arrived."
…
Along the river, the speed of the boat gradually slowed down.
The noise from behind also gradually disappeared. Xiao Chen looked at the old man in coir raincoat with some curiosity and said softly: "Senior, do you know Master Qi?"
The old man in coir raincoat sighed with a smile: "My boat has been waiting for him in Taohuawu for thirty years. It seems that he still can't forget the past and will really never come again."
Tiedan said in surprise: "Uncle, what happened to my seventh uncle back then, and why did he never come to Taoyuan City?"
Xiao Chen felt a little strange in his heart. Could it be that there were other reasons for Master Qi not coming to Taoyuan City besides the drying up of Hanyin Spring.
The old man in coir raincoat glanced at the two of them, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Your Seventh Master and I met fifty years ago. When he first came to Taoyuan City, what he did was to build my city. Good guy, why don't you do it?" He almost made a fool of himself in public by drinking a cup of wildfire from me. You two may not know that when Du Laoqi first came to Taoyuan City, he became famous all over the world and wanted to invite him over to train him. "
"But he refused to go. His arrogance also offended many people, but every time he came, there was still an endless stream of people asking for drinks from him. It's just..."
Tiedan was a little shocked. He had no idea that Master Qi, who looked ordinary in the village, could have such a big background.
Xiao Chen was not too surprised. When he saw Master Qi for the first time, he knew that he must have seen the world.
His speech and conversation are not like ordinary people. From the beginning, he maintained respect for Master Qi.
Tiedan asked anxiously: "Just what?"
The old man in coir raincoat sighed: "At the cocktail party thirty years ago, he finally brewed the Cangyue. He was qualified to participate in the Wine King Competition and received a promise from the Lord of Taoyuan City. This was a dream he had been pursuing hard, but this Wine King Competition He was defeated by a man, a humiliating defeat... and then I never saw him again."
"Everything in the world is really interesting. I have been waiting for thirty years, but I have not waited for him to come, but I have waited for his descendants. The fact that you met me really cannot be simply said to be a coincidence!"
Indeed, the two of them had never heard of Cui Jiugui before they came, and they had no idea that Master Qi had ever been so prosperous in Taoyuan City.
He also became an irreconcilable friend with this old man in coir raincoat.
Just to wait for one person, I stopped sailing for thirty years and got a lot of infamy. This kind of friendship is not something that everyone can easily form with others.
Master Qi also made special instructions, but the two of them boarded the old man's boat inexplicably.
All we can say is that there is God’s will in the dark.
Let this glass of wine bring an end to the friendship between the two old men.
"Who defeated Master Qi?" Xiao Chen asked.
The old man in coir raincoat said: "Liu Yuanfei is now the royal winemaker of the Suanni Empire in the Eastern Region. He is known as Master Yuanfei... It is also because Lao Qi is stubborn and refuses to join the sect and accept the resources of the empire. Otherwise, why would this happen."
The old man in coir raincoat didn't understand what he said, but Xiao Chen could probably guess who Master Yuan Fei was. It must have been more than just defeating the Seventh Master back then. He must have done some bad things, which was why the Seventh Master stopped coming to Taoyuan City.
It's very possible that he suffered some grievances.
"Senior Cui! You actually sailed the boat!"
At this moment, a tall and gorgeous ship with carved dragons and phoenixes, filled with flags, and rustled in the wind, passed by.
On the bow of the ship, a young man stood with his hands behind his hands. When he saw the old man in coir raincoat driving the ship, he was shocked and looked extremely shocked.
On the boat, you can hear the singing and dancing, and you can hear the laughter of many women. It is indeed a lively flower boat.
The old man in coir raincoat glanced at it, then ignored it and concentrated on steering.
"Senior Cui, can you come aboard and have a chat? I've prepared fine wine, and I won't disappoint you." The young man was wearing a brocade robe, with an extraordinary bearing, and with his cultivation, he had broken through the shackles of the human king.
But his attitude towards the old man in coir raincoat was extremely polite.
"Not interested in."
The old man in coir raincoat waved his hand and decisively refused.
"Haha, I'm sorry to bother you."
The young man frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Xiao Chen, and a hint of haze flashed in his eyes. This guy, what kind of wine impressed Senior Cui? He won't ruin my business.
The building boat was very fast, and after a while, it disappeared in front of a few people.
Tiedan clicked his tongue and said: "Who is this person? How can he be so arrogant? He even drove his own boat here."
The clear river was filled with all kinds of small boats from Taoyuan City. The sudden appearance of such a gorgeous and luxurious tall ship was hard not to attract attention.
The old man in coir raincoat said calmly: "This guy is Ye Han, the chief true disciple of the Ice and Snow Villa of the seventh-grade sect in the Eastern Territory. He is just relying on some sect's face. It is a rare cocktail party for a century, and there will always be some strange people coming over. If you join in the fun, you won’t be surprised if you see more.”
For the rest of the trip, Xiao Chen finally understood what it means to not be surprised after seeing too much.
Not only the seventh-grade sects and empires in the Eastern and Northern Regions sent people over, but even the demonic forces from as far away as the Blood Martial Dynasty came to join in the fun.
I have to say that the Taoyuan Wine Party is indeed famous far and wide.
What surprised Xiao Chen and Tiedan even more was that almost every big force's ship noticed the old man in coir raincoat.
They were all surprised and invited them to come on board, but naturally they were all declined.
Xiao Chen felt puzzled in his heart as to where the old man in front of him came from.
Half an hour later, the river went straight through a city gate, and then the vision suddenly opened up.
A city full of ancient charm magically appeared in front of Xiao Chen and Tiedan. They had never felt it before.
After the peach forest, there is such a magnificent city.
I don’t know what formation was used to hide this city so cleverly.
When we went downstream and passed through the city, the city in front of us seemed to suddenly appear.
"Come up, the reception will start in a few days. You can stroll around and sell the wine in your hands here. The city should be quite lively these days. By the way..."
The old man in coir raincoat thought of something and said, "Give me another pot of waning moon, and I'll sign you up for the Wine King Competition. You have to compete."
Xiao Chen already knew that these boatmen at the helm were wine connoisseurs sent by the city lord's palace.
Starting a boat with wine means evaluating good wines and then participating in the competition for the wine king.
Of course, those seventh-grade sects do not need to go to such trouble, as they are all qualified to directly participate in the Wine King Competition.
After Xiao Chen presented him with a pot of waning moon, he formally said goodbye to the old man.
When the two of them landed, they officially set foot on Taoyuan City.
The bustling and bustling city is dazzling and overwhelming.
There are taverns everywhere, and the smell of wine is delicious. If you open your mouth and breathe, you may accidentally get drunk.
After Tiedan entered the city, he became excited. He looked around and marveled at all the scenes he had never seen before.
Xiao Chen was also in a good mood. The two of them wandered around the city, stopping from time to time to admire some novel things.
"The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Fragrance is out again, everyone, go and see her!"
"Has it come out again? Is it possible that no one has judged the wine brought by the Heavenly Fragrance Saint?"
"Go quickly, go quickly. If you go late, you really won't show up again."
Suddenly, on the street where Xiao Chen was, the crowd seemed to go crazy and ran towards East Street.
Tiedan said excitedly: "Brother Xiao, the Holy Maiden of Tianxiang is here too!"
The holy land is fragrant!
Xiao Chen was thoughtful and remembered that when he first came to Huanghai, he came into contact with a group of Tianxiang disciples.
At that time, the woman holding the flute saw that he had won the Thousand Poinsettia and gave him a bottle of elixir.
"Go over and have a look."
Xiao Chen looked calm, leading Tie Dan and walking with the crowd.
Crowds gathered in a courtyard on East Street and were so densely packed that Xiao Chen had to use some ingenuity to squeeze in.
In front of the courtyard, behind a white jade table, stood several Tianxiang disciples with outstanding grace and fairy-like beauty and temperament.
"Our young lady got a jug of fine wine by chance half a year ago, and she liked it very much. Unfortunately, she never got the name, and no one knew what the wine was. It happened to be the Taoyuan Wine Party, where wine lovers gathered in Huanghai. If anyone can tell me the origin of this wine, my lady will be very grateful."
A Tianxiang disciple pointed to the fine wine in the glass on the table, looked around and smiled.
If you taste the origin of this wine, you can meet the Heavenly Fragrance Saint and receive a heavy gift from her.
There is no doubt that this is tempting.
"Brother Xiao, do you want to try...Brother Xiao, why don't you speak?"
Tiedan, who was very excited, noticed that Xiao Chen's face looked a little strange and asked in confusion.
Xiao Chen looked at the wine in the cup and was in a daze, wondering why this wine looked like a thousand-year fire.
Did Mo Chen leave Kunlun
