Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 12: Stealing Fruit (Part 1)
That night, the Shimen Sect held a sumptuous welcome dinner for Tang Jie.
During the banquet, various kinds of persuasion to drink are indispensable.
Qiu Shuyu sat up high, holding the wine jar and pouring wine for Tang Jie at the same time and said: "This colorful Xia wine is made by Wan Niang, who uses the special millet from the Heishui plain as the main food, and uses it as a guide from the Tianshan Mountains. The Tianquan was made of water, and a large number of spiritual things were added to it. It was buried deep in the ground for sixty years. There were only ten jars in total, which were not taken out to entertain guests. Now I saw the heroic young man of Tang Gongzi, who was very majestic, so Wan Niang treated him like this Guests, we are also enjoying a blessing. Master, please don’t miss it.”
What kind of colorful wine is this? The color is bright, the five colors are blurred, and it looks like there is a hint of a rainbow, but when you drink it, it tastes mellow and full of stamina.
Especially because this is spiritual wine, even cultivators can get drunk after drinking it. At this moment, Tang Jie drank several large glasses of wine, and his eyes were spinning. His tongue was a little bigger when he spoke: "No...can't...drink...if you drink any more, you'll be...really drunk."
The short and chubby Liang Xingbang said: "Master Tang, don't go out, what if you are really drunk? The worst is to sleep together, we are all my family here, they will entertain you well. And there are some things, too You have to be drunk to do it easily."
As he finished speaking, several coquettish women had surrounded Tang Jie, and each of them, the eldest and the youngest, offered wine attentively.
After all, Tang Jie was young and energetic. Under the urging of a group of beautiful women to drink, he gradually couldn't contain himself and drank more and more. In the blink of an eye, he drank the large jar of spiritual wine, but he was drunk. I couldn't even stand up, so I finally lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Seeing him fall, Yu Wanniang first waved away the maids, and then said with a smile: "My colorful rainbow wine, even if Tianxin drinks a jar, it can knock down several people. This Tang Jie is no match for A body that has been tempered a hundred times can last until now, so it is indeed a good physique."
Shi Jingzhai sneered: "So what, I still got drunk."
The look in Tang Jie's eyes was quite disdainful.
Qiu Shuyu said: "Don't be careless. I think this guy has a smart mind. He doesn't seem to be someone who is easily fooled. It's not surprising that he is pretending to be drunk."
Yu Wanniang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, you underestimate us too much. We are so small that we are so extraordinary. How can we not tell if we are really drunk or fake? In his opinion, the strength of any person here is They are all stronger than him, and it is easy to deal with him, so there is no need to use this method on him, so they will not be wary."
As he spoke, he grabbed Tang Jie's wrist, tested it a little, and said: "The pulse is disordered, the spiritual energy is rampant, the blood energy is turbulent, and it is difficult to control oneself. Moreover, the drunken powder that I specially added permeates the whole body. If he is fake drunk, No one is really drunk that day."
"That's good." Qiu Shuyu had great faith in Yu Wanniang's judgment.
As Yu Wanniang said, if the four Tianxin Masters still can't tell that a boy at the Hundred Refining Stage is really drunk and pretends to be drunk, they can hang themselves collectively. Therefore, although Qiu Shuyu's words just now were cautious, they are still Said in front of Tang Jie.
Qiu Shuyu said again: "Since you are really drunk, you can use the secret method to ask him what he can see."
"Look at me." Yu Wanniang replied with a smile, she had opened Tang Jie's eyelids with her hands, looked into his eyes and said: "Tang Jie, wake up!"
There was a strange light in his eyes.
Under this light, Tang Jie's eyes suddenly moved a few times.
Yu Wanniang's hand loosened and Tang Jie opened his murderous eyes, but his eyes were dull.
Yu Wanniang has said: "Tang Jie, tell me what you saw in the cave?"
"Earth Demon Ape." Tang Jie replied blankly.
"Where's the mine? How many spirit stone mines have you found?"
"The spiritual mine is about to dry up, and there are still about a thousand tons left."
Qiu Shuyu's face lit up with joy: "Are there any unanswered questions?"
Tang Jie paused for a moment before answering: "Why did the Earth Demon Ape suddenly jump out and attack me? Didn't it mean that it was running away from cultivators?"
Qiu Shuyu nodded to Yu Wanniang, who immediately said to Tang Jie: "It's not the Earth Demon Ape that jumped out to attack you, it's the Earth Demon Ape that is causing trouble in the mine. As a disciple of Xiyue, you should protect yourself. In the countryside, you eliminate harm for the people. You went deep into the mine and pulled out the Demonic Ape. You did something that even my Shimen sect has not been able to do. The Shimen sect first sheds tears of gratitude and admiration for you."
Tang Jie Mumu nodded: "Yes, I took the initiative to find the Earth Demon Ape and killed it. I am a hero..."
Yu Wanniang said again: "Now that the spiritual mine will be exhausted, and the Earth Demon Ape has been killed by you, everything here will end."
"Yes, everything here will end." Tang Jie mechanically repeated.
Qiu Shuyu breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Yu Wanniang: "The big deal is done, let's send him back to rest."
"Yes." Yu Wanniang replied, thought for a while and then said: "By the way, senior brother, how should I deal with this thing?"
What appeared in Yu Wanniang's hand was a crystal-like stone. The flashing image in the stone was clearly the image of Shi Jingzhai questioning Tang Jie after Tang Jie participated in the Dharma and aroused Tianyin.
This is called a memory stone, and it is also an extremely precious treasure in the cultivation world. It can record conversations and memories over a period of time. When Shi Jingzhai left Tang Jie in trouble, Yu Wanniang was nearby and recorded the scene.
At this moment, Qiu Shuyu looked at this thing, shook his head and said: "This thing was originally used as a backup. If Tang Jie discovers our secret and cannot be bribed or killed, use this as evidence. , accusing Tang Jie of having some quarrel with us before and deliberately framing us. Now that he has not discovered our secret, there is no use keeping it. Give it to me and I will remove the memory. This thing is rare, What a waste."
"Yes." Yu Wanniang handed the shadow stone in her hand to Qiu Shuyu.
Qiu Shuyu took the photo stone and left. Only Shi Jingzhai, Liang Xingbang, Yu Wanniang and Tang Jie were left in the hall.
Seeing Qiu Shuyu leave, the three of them looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing at the same time.
Then Yu Wanniang waved her hand and sent out several finger winds in succession, which landed all over the hall. Then she said: "You can speak with confidence now."
Shi Jingzhai hummed: "I didn't expect this to go so smoothly. Now that everything is in place, and we have that old idiot Qiu Shuyu standing up for us, we don't have to worry about any consequences."
Liang Xingbang also smiled and said: "It's all thanks to my junior sister's incredible scheming. She only used some raw ore to lure this old guy into the water. He thought he was getting an advantage, but he didn't know that there was a more precious crystallized lugworm in the cave. After processing this batch of goods, our Shimen sect has obtained a lot of resources and is destined to prosper!"
"Especially the method of promotion to the Purple Mansion!" Yu Wanniang said leisurely.
As soon as they heard about the method of promotion to the Zifu, Shi Jingzhai and Liang Xingbang's eyes showed enthusiasm at the same time.
Yes!
How to advance to the Purple Mansion!
If this method can be obtained, the Shimen sect will no longer be a small sect, but will become a top-notch Wenxin sect. And the few of them who became the Zi Mansion were also destined to become the masters of the Shimen Sect's resurgence.
As for Qiu Shuyu, who is he?
After this moment of excitement, Yu Wanniang looked at Tang Jie again, and her hand that grasped his pulse finally let go: "Nothing happened."
What Qian said just now was also meant to be a test. If a normal person hears such secrets, no matter how calm the world is, there will still be turmoil deep in his heart. Then Yu Wanniang will be able to detect Tang Jie's deception.
But obviously, Tang Jie did not cheat.
He is really drunk!
Drunk to the point of confusion, drunk to the point of unconsciousness, drunk to the point of death, drunk to the point of darkness.
No matter what Yu Wanniang asked him, he didn't know, and he wouldn't remember it either.
This kind of secret method will make people forget the memory of the time. Under normal circumstances, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, but with drunkenness as a cover, then the fragmentation seems to be normal.
After repeated tests to confirm that there was no problem, Yu Wanniang called the maid to take Tang Jie back to the house.
In the small room, Tang Jie fell asleep with his arms and legs spread out and looked unseemly. The eyes in the dark still did not relax, but no matter how closely they stared, it was impossible to find any doubts about a really drunk person.
Of course, it is impossible for them to discover what is happening in another space thousands of miles away.
————————————————
This is a vast stretch of mountains, so majestic and continuous that you can’t see the end at a glance.
At the top of the sky, there are white clouds and birds flying. Above that is an invisible energy shield, covering the entire mountains like a bowl.
There is a huge valley to the north of the mountains. The valley is full of flowers, evergreen trees, full of fruits, green grass everywhere, and strange rocks.
If you are knowledgeable, you will find that these are not ordinary flowers. Almost every kind of existence in this valley is exotic flowers, exotic herbs, precious fruits, spiritual trees, and gems.
What about Jiutian Fengluan Grass, Ten Thousand Years Rosewood, Thousand Years Demonized White Lotus, Tianji Stone, Yellow Return Fruit, Cuiyu Fragrant Red Pearl... There are dozens of types alone, and they are all thousands of years old. of.
A large number of rare and exotic fruits are growing in patches in this valley. If placed in the outside world, it would be enough to make the world go crazy, make the six major sects lose their dignity, and cause turmoil in the entire Qixia world.
At the back of the valley is a large red mountain that is burning with blazing flames all year round. Large areas of magma flow down from the top of the mountain and form a magma pool at the bottom of the mountain, but for some reason it never overflows.
The terrifying heat it emits makes a distorted light appear above the entire magma pool, but it seems to be blocked by something and cannot enter the valley to wreak havoc, causing two completely different ends of the valley to form. A kind of landscape - on one side, the four seasons are like spring and full of vitality; on the other side, everything is burned, desolate and dead.
At the other end of the valley, there is an open grassland.
Tang Jie stood at the entrance of the valley, staring at a grass in the distance.
The grass grew on a large rock, about half a meter long, and completely white. On top was a small ball, swaying in the air in the wind.
This is called Jade Return Pearl, a rare spiritual grass that grows on rocks. Its biggest function is to refine elixirs that can increase spiritual energy. There is this kind of spiritual grass in Langya Paradise, but it is only eight hundred years old at most, but the one in front of Tang Jie is a real ten thousand year old spiritual grass.
Despite its small appearance, its roots are actually densely covered with rocks inside ~IndoMTL.com~ and may extend to tens of meters underground.
Looking closely at Jade Returns Pearl, Tang Jie looked at his feet carefully.
There was an artificially drawn white line under his feet, and Tang Jie was standing on the edge of the sideline at this moment.
First he took a few long breaths, then Tang Jie rushed out and pounced on the spiritual grass on the stone at extremely high speed.
The moment he crossed the white line, a giant flame bird suddenly rushed out of the magma pool on the opposite side of the valley.
This giant bird was so huge. When it appeared, its wings spread out, and blazing flames swept across the entire sky like a burning cloud.
"His!" A clear hissing sound shook the entire mountains.
Then the giant flame bird spit out a mouthful of flames below.
The flames shot towards Tang Jie like an arrow, burning a vast line of fire in the sky, and penetrated Tang Jie's body almost instantly. Tang Jie didn't even make a scream, but turned into smoke and disappeared, and the remaining flames disappeared. When it fell to the ground, it dissipated on its own without damaging the land in the valley.
