chewing dragon

Chapter 106
Ever since getting on the boat, Jiao Yulang, who has always been quite wild, has been a little silent, and now he is sitting upright.

Hearing Zhu Yihou's apology, Xiaowazi got up immediately, bowed his hands and said: "The god is the Marquis, you should discuss friendship with my grandfather on the same level, so polite and accommodating, I really can't afford it! The envoy of your mansion is also the responsibility, boy? Will you be surprised?"

Qi Jingzhi had never seen Xiaowazi behave in such a respectful and polite manner, so he couldn't help laughing.

At that moment, Zhu Yihou stretched out his hand to invite Jiao Yulang to sit down.

He himself looked at Qi Jingzhi, and said warmly: "Little friend, you don't have to worry about your family background. Jiang's surname, Qi, is nothing more honorable in Daqi. What's more, you have already entered the door of cultivation, and you have a relationship with Jiao. The children of the family are friends, and the future is really limitless!"

Qi Jingzhi was dumbfounded, earlier he just casually said something about his own background, he didn't think the other party would be mistaken, but instead comforted him, it really made him laugh and cry.

It can be seen from this that this Zhu Yihou is not a snobbish person who judges his status by family status, but is just a bit pedantic and obsessed with the so-called origin of blood.

Just like what Qi Jingzhi said to the old city god, who doesn't have a grand ancestor who is extravagant?Thinking about it, except for the surnames recorded in the "Forbidden Book", anyone who sits in this Jiangxin Pavilion will be treated with courtesy by the Caojiang Water God.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi asked: "Respect God, the matter of the two of us fighting this tree spirit earlier..."

Zhu Yihou waved his hand: "It's just turning over the ground by the river, what's the big deal? I don't ask why you guys are fighting, but I don't see any bad karma on this tree spirit. On the contrary, he has received a lot of incense. How about letting go of the inextricable enmity?"

As he said that, he pointed to the food and drink on the table, and said with a chuckle: "I am suddenly in a mood tonight, and I am here to watch the moon and have a feast on the river, so I am impatient to settle the lawsuit for you!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Leopard Zhang suddenly raised her head, her old face was filled with joy, and she kowtowed again and again: "The old lady is willing to reconcile! Thank you God for your compassion!"

Qi Jingzhi thought for a while, and thought that the old man did not show any intention of harming him before, but was just a little stubborn. He wanted to find the jade pillow and get rid of his crimes, so he also nodded and said: "In accordance with the will of the gods .”

He turned his head to look at Mrs. Leopard Zhang on the ground, and said word by word: "The things I promised you earlier, my two brothers will never break their promises, and you will definitely be cleared of all crimes!"

Now, because of Caojiang water god's meddling, both parties are unwilling to disclose the matter of Yuzhen. Baozhang's mother-in-law can't do anything, even if she doesn't believe it, she has to believe it.

It stood up from the ground, and the dog's body shook violently, shaking off dozens of scaly white spots on its skin.

As soon as these white spots landed on the ground, they turned into little people in white clothes, with babbling laughter from their mouths.

"Here are twenty red shrimps. Half of them are dedicated to the gods, and the other half are given to the two young brothers. They can be regarded as a thank-you gift from the old lady!"

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Leopard Zhang bent down and saluted, then turned around and ran out of the pavilion.

At some point, the boat left the shore and returned to the center of the river again.

But Mrs. Leopard Zhang didn't hesitate at all, she jumped into the river with a plop, and disappeared in an instant, not even the old camphor tree wrapped with red strings on the bank.

"It is missing these twenty red shrimps, so it will definitely not be able to explain to others. I am afraid that Zhang Shuniang will not be able to do it in the future."

Zhu Yihou sighed with emotion, and reached out to grab the red shrimps on the ground, and these little guys turned into blue and yellow clouds, flew over the dining table, and floated above everyone's heads.

He looked up, nodded and said: "It's rare to see such pure red shrimp, I don't think there is any need to cook it, raw food tastes the best!"

Hearing these words, both Qi Jingzhi and Jiao Yulang showed strange expressions.

When Zhu Yihou saw it, he thought for a while and then smiled and said: "The red shrimp is not a real creature, but the mother of the camphor tree absorbs the essence of vegetation, earth and rocks, and then uses the incense merits of protecting the children to evolve, but it looks like a human being. .”

"The merits of incense and fire are not usable unless they are divine, so Zhu took them away on his own initiative, and now the remaining clouds are the purest essence of earth and wood, which are not of much use to me, but they are useful for refining bones and strengthening life, heaven and man The cultivation of these two great realms of sympathy is extremely beneficial, so let the two of you accept it."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi and Jiao Yulang looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Even if they are not real creatures, these red shrimps are too similar to human babies, even if they have turned into clouds at this moment, they really can't get out of their mouths.

Seeing this, although Zhu Yihou was a little surprised, he didn't persuade him any more.

He pondered for a while, then flicked his sleeve suddenly, the blue-yellow clouds above everyone's heads flew into the big red sleeve like birds flying into the forest.

Then, the Water God of Caojiang turned his head and ordered to Qingjiang envoy: "Bring the emperor's ointment wine, and cook a mountain jellyfish."

The big tortoise in black clothes showed surprise when he heard the words, he quickly bowed in response, and ran out of the Jiangxin Pavilion again.

It turned back not long after, holding a white jade jug carefully in its hand.

Seeing Zhu Yihou nod his head slightly, the black-clothed turtle poured a cup for each of the three.

The slightly golden wine flowed out from the mouth of the pot, and there was a strong and strange fragrance.

Zhu Yihou picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "This wine is made according to the recipe of the royal wine of the Daqi court. , Drinking it can adjust the five internal organs, strengthen qi and blood, and ward off cold, evil and unhealthy qi in the four seasons, which is suitable for the two little friends to practice now!"

Hearing this, Jiao Yulang immediately turned his head and looked eagerly at Brother Qi's family.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help smiling, raised his glass, nodded and said: "Since it is beneficial to practice, it doesn't hurt to drink less."

Jiao Yulang was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately raised his glass.

He leaned closer to the cup, smelled the strange fragrance of the pale golden liquid in it, his face was intoxicated, and he drank it without hesitation.

"Hey? This is medicinal wine. Your cultivation level is still low, how can you drink it to the full?" Zhu Yihou immediately reminded him, but it was already too late.

The next moment, I saw Xiaowazi's face turned red suddenly, his ears seemed to be burning, and mist rose from his eyes, making them watery.

He forced himself to endure for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth, spit out a mouthful of hot white air, and at the same time screamed strangely: "It's so spicy! It's so hot!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yihou heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately laughed loudly: "I saw that you were still young, and you actually drank this glass of wine in one gulp, thinking that you must see the spectacle of smoke from seven orifices. I don't think so, my friend. With a strong body and far superior to ordinary people, it's just a breath of white air, the Chaozhou Jiao family really lives up to its reputation!"

At this time, the little boy couldn't care less about the false name of the Chaozhou Jiao family. He stuck out his tongue and let out a sigh of relief for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "Master Hou is an old man. Yulang dare not complain, but the wine is really strong. It's too strong! After drinking this cup, this junior feels his whole body is full of energy and blood, and he may not need to eat for a few days!"

Zhu Yihou laughed again when he heard the words, and introduced in his mouth: "My imperial ointment for cooking wine is a pill made of styrax, benzoin, musk, black rhinoceros, sandalwood, agarwood, clove and many other spices and medicinal materials. Take it It can greatly benefit qi and blood, dispel evil spirits, and supplemented with the hundred-year-old wine brewed in the water mansion, the effect is naturally extremely strong, not to mention that ordinary people eat it..."

The Water God of Caojiang paused for a moment, looked at Qi Jingzhi who had raised his glass before drinking, and expressed a bit of complacency in his tone: "There is a saying in the medical classics of the predecessors, that death by violence, falling into a trap, falling down, and ghosts and nightmares, If the meat is not cold, quickly mix the wine with imperial ointment and pour it into the mouth, if it goes down the throat, you can live!"

"Exactly! The raw materials used by my Lord Hou to make this imperial ointment are all rare and top-quality ingredients in the world!"

The black-clothed tortoise on the side couldn't help saying: "On the day when the medicine was ready, a boatman on the Cao River died of typhoid fever, and his heart was still warm. Lord Hou took a pill of imperial ointment and poured it with old wine, and the boatman woke up on the spot. , it can be called raising the dead and the flesh and bones!"

The Qingjiang envoy had just finished speaking when Jiao Yulang burped suddenly, causing everyone to look at him again.

Fortunately, Xiaowazi has a very thick skin, and there is no abnormality on his face, he just covered his mouth that smelled of alcohol with his hand, and whispered to Qi Jingzhi: "Brother, drinking this glass of wine is worth a bellyful of meat." Done!"

Qi Jingzhi naturally knew what jerky Jiao Yulang was talking about, and he was quite surprised.

Before going out, he and Jiao Yulang were full of tiger meat, they couldn't sleep for several nights in a row, they had to practice boxing to digest it, and their bodies became stronger every day.

For this reason, seeing that Hu Jun and the ghost boy were not moving, the two went out to the county city, and they actually brought a lot of dried meat with them.

This jerky is no better than fresh meat, it is extremely cold and hard to grind your teeth, but now you have eaten a lot, so it is naturally not to mention how delicious it is, it is nothing more than a great help to the cultivation of the strong life state.

If it was a kid who had never eaten tiger meat, and just drank this cup of imperial ointment wine, it would be impossible to say that the seven orifices would really smoke.

Qi Jingzhi stared at Jiao Yulang carefully for a long while, seeing that the little baby was really fine except for the swollen breath all over his body, and instead got a lot of benefits, so he was relieved.

He raised his glass to Zhu Yihou slightly, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The pale golden wine entered his throat. At the beginning of Qi Jing, he only felt a strange fragrance in his mouth and nose, but he didn't taste a bit of wine, but soon there seemed to be a fire in his stomach, and countless streams of heat rushed to his limbs and bones As it spread away, a mouthful of scorching breath rose upwards, heading straight to the top of the skull!
He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and in his heart, a red-white crane fluttered its wings and sang in the sky.

With the emergence of the heart of the angry crane, the heat flow in his body stagnated, and immediately seemed to have a control, and began to follow the breathing rhythm of the Ming Crane Method, and flow along the path of the energy of the Wing Cleansing.

In everyone's eyes, it was Qi Jingzhi's face that flushed slightly after drinking a glass of wine, and the aura around him fluctuating in a strange rhythm. Apart from that, even his expression didn't change a little.

Zhu Yihou saw it in his eyes, and suddenly his eyes showed a strange light, he couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaimed: "Qi Xiaoyou's cultivation is really impressive!"

Qi Jingzhi suddenly opened his mouth and let out a breath of foul air, and cupped his hands to the water god of Caojiang in front of him: "Thank you, God!"

Zhu Yihou immediately shook his head: "Those twenty pieces of red shrimp are a rare good fruit. I can get it because of the honor of you two. I see that you still have enough energy. You can drink as much as you can today. Banquet Later, there will be another pot as a gift!"

This time without waiting for his order, the black-clothed tortoise had already stepped forward with the pot and poured another cup for Qi Jingzhi.

Qi Jingzhi didn't refuse, and turned to Zhu Yihou with a smile: "Zun Shen is so approachable, the younger generation is bold, and he can't say anything quickly!"

"Oh? But it's okay to say!" Zhu Yihou drank a cup by himself, without changing his expression.

Qi Jingzhi straightened his expression immediately, and said solemnly: "When I got on the boat, I saw that the musicians on the lower floor were all ordinary people. When they played, their faces were panicked and their minds were out of order. I don't know why?"

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Zhu Yihou put down his wine glass, listened intently for a moment, nodded and said: "Desolate, the vegetation shakes and decays! Earlier, I thought that the drummers and musicians in the Water Palace had improved, and they were able to compose this song "Autumn God's Frost Song" " played a bit of the artistic conception of 'severe frost, the cool wind is bleak', and now listening carefully, the music is really different."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the black-clothed tortoise.

Seeing the envoy of Qingjiang step forward, he explained in a low voice: "The musicians playing below are not the musicians in the mansion, but a few Luqi people who wander around the rivers and lakes and perform everywhere. I also saw the drummer among them. Quite a bit of skill, Hou Ye loves this way very much, so he invited them here to add to the fun."

It paused, and then added: "When inviting people, it only said that the old man of the family went to the river for a banquet. Before boarding the boat, he used illusion to cover his eyes and ears, and never revealed the name of the water mansion."

"Nonsense! The people who are sitting in the cabin and feasting are...you don't know! How can you put these strangers down? Why don't you come to the upper floor!"

Zhu Yihou scolded a few words, and added: "By the way, the river wind has been quite chilly at night recently, and I will prepare some wine and food for them to drive away the cold."

The black-clothed tortoise shrank its head, and quickly led away.

Since boarding the ship, the Qingjiang envoy has come in and out several times. Looking at its back, Qi Jingzhi deeply felt that this job was really difficult.

Zhu Yihou didn't have such an experience, he smiled lightly and said: "This matter is indeed my negligence! The river has a long history, and I like to drink and listen to music in my spare time, and the people below will inevitably follow my favor. It's a bit frizzy, but it made the two little friends laugh!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's expression didn't change at all, he immediately stood up, took the white jade jug and filled Zhu Yihou's wine glass: "It's good that the gods don't think I'm a troublesome guest."

Zhu Yihou waved his hand, raised his glass to Qi Jingzhi and said, "What are you talking about, little friend! If you hadn't kindly reminded me, I would have almost treated these poor Luqi people harshly. I have always considered myself a person who loves music. If the news gets out, it will really become a joke!"

When he said this, the Caojiang water god had a gloomy look on his face.

Qi Jingzhi saw it in his eyes, and he knew that even though the other party was the master of a river, he still inevitably encountered unsatisfactory things.

It's just that there is a huge disparity in status between each other and shallow friendship, so he naturally wouldn't ask the bottom line annoyingly. After sitting down, he raised his glass as well: "It's only those heartless people who can chew their tongues and bark like crazy, really. Don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, a young man and a god looked at each other and smiled, each of them drank up the wine in their cups.

This time Qi Jingzhi already had experience, when the wine entered his heart, the angry crane in his heart immediately fluttered its wings and danced, and within a few breaths, the power of the wine and medicine penetrated through the whole body.

Silently feeling the changes in his body, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. The third-level Kungfu of focusing on Qi and softening is not far away from the day of completion.
