Three figures walked on the wind.

Half a day later, Luohuazhou was already thousands of miles away. There are scattered cottages in the valley ahead, with smoke curling up from their cooking stoves, just in the dusk of the evening.

The three brothers slowed down and landed on the top of a hill several hundred feet high.

The mountains are undulating, the forest is vast, and there is even a light mist. Dozens of miles away on the right hand side is the boundless sea. The sunset was setting there, and the cool and wild wind was blowing slowly. The far-reaching view, the expressive scenery, immediately makes people feel relaxed and happy!

"It's a long journey across thousands of deserts. And with such a rush, God knows what year and month we can reach Wanshan. We might as well rest here for the night and be free and at ease. What does Brother Long mean..."

"The boss may have this intention..."

"Hey, boss, have you ever heard my brother talking..."

"Boss..."

The two brothers Hutou and Laolong were not interested in the scenery, and both looked at their boss. Since it's getting late and we're not in a hurry, it makes sense to find a place to rest!

Lin Yi, with his hands behind his back, stopped and looked back, with a look of hesitation. Hearing the sound, he turned around and muttered to himself: "Xuan Yuzi is eccentric and paranoid, and has no moral integrity at all. He is evasive and seems to be hiding something. He will inevitably cause trouble in the future..."

Lao Long understood and said: "I was already murderous when I saw the boss, but why did I hesitate..."

"Oops! You don't know this boss. It's hard to be cruel to people you know well. You can only do it when you are forced to the last resort. Tai Sheng is like this, Yuan Xinzi is like this, humph..."

Hu Tou looked like he had expected it, and he patted his chest and shouted: "Just wait a moment, I will return to Luohua Continent and eliminate future troubles forever..."

Lao Long didn't stop him, so he seemed to have this intention.

Lin Yi frowned slightly and shouted softly: "Stop!"

The tiger's head was about to fly up, and he said nonchalantly: "You are so benevolent as a woman..."

Lin Yichi asked: "If he kills indiscriminately out of suspicion, how is Lin different from Jiu Xuan, Ling Dao and others?"

Jiu Xuan, Ling Dao and others are not the only ones who are prone to suspicion and willful actions!

The old dragon was touched, and without thinking too much, he raised his feet to block the tiger's head.

Hutou had no choice but to give up, but still said angrily: "Jiu Xuan, Ling Dao and the like are certainly hateful, but they may not be without merit. At least they are rampant for a while, but you and I can only hide. It is the truth to learn from each other's strengths..."

Lin Yi didn't expect that Hu Tou would confront him and lecture him, so he couldn't help but feel slightly startled. He was silent for a moment, sighed secretly, softened his words, and said: "Lin only knows how to keep his heart and act naturally. He will never admire the strength of others..."

Hutou seemed to be unable to listen to the preaching and muttered: "You are so stubborn!"

Lin Yi shook his head and said: "No matter how stubborn or benevolent a woman is, whenever disaster strikes, it never changes based on your or my wishes, nor does it change based on the wishes of little Xuan Yuzi." Change..." He raised his hand and pointed to the dusk sky, and said: "Just like the changes in clouds and sunshine, there is no way to avoid it, and face it with openness..."

Hutou was still unconvinced and argued: "My words are clumsy, so naturally I can't defeat you, and your approach is too pedantic..."

Seeing that Lin Yi's expression was a little ugly, Lao Long opened his mouth and interrupted: "The disaster will not be eradicated until Jiu Xuan dies. There may be people who are the instigators of the tiger, but it cannot be generalized. And since the boss did not kill Xuan Yuzi at that time, how could he go back on his word? He will seek death in the future, and it won’t be too late to achieve success..."

Hu Tou hummed: "It's unnecessary..."

When Lin saw the two brothers quarreling, he ignored them and took a step forward, riding the evening breeze straight to the valley ahead and drifting away.

There is a small village in the valley, with twenty or thirty families. It is surrounded by trees and mountain streams. Between the streets, there are flakes of grain. There is also a wide dirt road that meanders from the mountain forest, and then goes straight across and stretches in the direction.

As soon as Lin landed on the roadside at the end of the village, his expression changed involuntarily.

On both sides of the dirt road, there are green grass and wild flowers in full bloom. As the mountain breeze blows, the twilight is enchanting, and the pastoral scenery in all directions adds a bit of tranquility and leisure. And the faint aroma of wine wafting from a private courtyard in front is even more refreshing.

"Boss! It is inevitable that brothers will have disagreements and quarrels with each other. Don't mind it..."

Lin Yi was about to take steps when two figures fell behind him. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw Lao Long's concerned eyes. His expression condensed, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he continued to move forward.

Lao Long looked at Lin Yi's back and smiled in relief.

But Hu Tou's eyes were already shining, and he said cheerfully: "Ho ho ho! The smell of wine..."

The earth-walled courtyard has a wide open gate. In the spacious courtyard, grains, distiller's grains, jars and jars are placed. Facing the front is a row of three stone houses, simple but sturdy. An old man was busy when he suddenly looked up and saw someone coming to the door. He wiped his hands on the sarong wrapped around his waist, gave a hasty salute, and said hello: "Haha! Qu Da, I really have no time to do it! Three old men If I want to buy wine, I have to wait for a while..."

The old man who calls himself Qu Da is only forty or fifty years old, but his beard and hair are already gray, only his face is ruddy, and his whole person is full of energy. After he said hello, he didn't show any pretense and just picked up a bundle of firewood and walked into the house. There is steaming mist filling the air from the house, and the faint smell of wine becomes more and more mellow!

Lin Yishi walked into the courtyard and took in the surrounding situation.

This is a brewing workshop. The old man who calls himself Qu Da is a brewing craftsman. Looking for fragrance and taste today, we really came to the right place!

Lin Yi walked to the door of the stone house with a smile on his face.

There is a stove built in the house and strange jars stacked up. And Naqu Dazheng was busy adding fuel to the fire, and his cheeks were illuminated even more redly. Seeing that the visitors had not left, he smiled and said: "Three of you are immortals passing by... Hey, hey, the wine in that jar is not drinkable..."

Hutou followed and jumped to the door. Without saying a word, he reached out to grab a row of wine jars piled in the corner, but unexpectedly, the owner shouted to stop him. He had no choice but to shrink his hands, raised his head and caught Lin Yi's eyes. He couldn't help but feel silly and asked curiously, "Why can't I drink..."

Lin Yi glanced lightly and stepped into the door.

Hutou scratched his chin and said doubtfully: "Boss is a little weird! I said Brother Long..." Someone walked past him and entered the house directly, but he also ignored him. He shook his head in disapproval and then followed.

Qu Da dropped the firewood in his hand, waved his hand and said urgently: "Three Immortal Leaders! It's the right time to drink, so crowded, wouldn't it be a hindrance..."

Old Long took a step back and scolded in a low voice: "Stop joining in the fun and get out..."

The tiger's head almost hit him and he hurriedly dodged and exited the door. Seeing that Old Long didn't seem to be joking, he was stunned for a moment, glanced into the house again, then turned around with a hum and walked around in circles in the yard alone.

Lao Long sat down on the wooden bench in front of the door and turned a blind eye to the movement of the tiger's head.

Lin Yi also took a few steps back and looked carefully. An old man who makes wine among ordinary people, but his words and deeds are not ordinary. Out of curiosity, he asked with a smile: "How do you know the origins of the three of us..."

Qu Da saw that the surroundings were spacious and no longer chased away visitors. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat in front of the stove, and said: "The wine I brewed by Quda is soft, strong, sweet and fragrant. Immortals passing by often come here after smelling the fragrance, and the news gradually spreads. I have gained fame, haha..." At this point, he was very proud, and said with a smile: "Don't look at the fact that although Lingshui Valley is small, there are still young people out to seek immortality and seek enlightenment! It is already late, but the three of them are there! Coming uninvited, from what I can see, it must be a visit from the Immortal..."

Lin Yi smiled noncommittally and sat on the woodpile behind him.

The stove occupies half of the room, and a chimney leads to the roof. The big jar on the stove was being steamed by the flames, emitting waves of heat and the aroma of wine. Although I have been drinking wine for a long time, this is the first time I have seen wine brewing with my own eyes.

Lin Yi looked at the situation in the room and said: "Lin is also a good drinker. I don't know what is so extraordinary about the wine you brew..."

Qu Da added a handful of firewood to the stove, stared at the big jar on the stove, stroked his beard and said: "The best wine in the world is brewed from grains. There are many rules in it, all of which are indispensable. The ancestors' "Wine" The Sutra says that rice, millet, millet, wheat, and beetroot are used as the base of wine, and it must go through eighteen processes including mixing, mixing, moistening, fermentation, cellar opening, and cellar removal before it can be cooked in the steamer. You must also keep in mind the key points of leveling and evenness, etc. After the wine is put into the jar, it is sealed with oil paper and mud, and stored in the underground cellar for two months before the "grain brewing" is successful..." He talked about the process of making wine. The trick is clear and logical, but before the excitement is over, he adds: "A hundred brews make a jar of wine, and the years turn into fine wine; raise a glass and sigh at the wasted time, the taste of spring and autumn is long, haha..."

A hundred brews make a jar of wine, and the years turn into fine wine; raising a glass and sighing at the wasted time, the taste of spring and autumn lasts.

As mentioned above, it should be the key to wine making. You must know that the longer the wine is stored in the jar, the more mellow the wine will taste. And this is not the way to be a human being! It is difficult to see a rainbow without wind and rain. Without years of experience and suffering, how can we experience the three flavors of life! The same is true for spiritual practice, which requires repeated practice...

While Lin Yi was deep in thought, Qu Da had already extinguished the firewood in the stove. I saw him placing a large vat next to the stove, and then left the light yellow wine from the jar-shaped pottery steamer. The wine drips, and the aroma fills the air.

The old dragon in front of the door couldn't help but twitch his nose and nodded in approval.

Qu Da lifted up the apron around his waist and wiped his hands. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Haha! It's time to get out of the steamer. It can be put into the altar and put into the cellar tomorrow. Let the three immortals wait for a long time. Come with me..."

Lin Yi stood up and gave way and asked: "I don't know how much the wine costs, whether it is gold, silver, or jewelry..." At the Jiuqu Ferry in Baixi, he once encountered embarrassment because he didn't know the price of the wine. Nowadays, fine wine is tempting, so it’s better to ask first.

Qu Da walked out the door and replied: "I don't accept gold or silver, only spiritual stones. One year of wine cellar, ten spiritual stones; five years of cellar wine, one hundred spiritual stones; ten years of cellar wine, one hundred spiritual stones." , five hundred pieces of spiritual stones; the older the age, the more spiritual stones the price is fair, haha..."

Although it is fair to buy and sell at a clear price, it is still expensive!

The old dragon in front of the door was surprised and said: "You are a mortal, what use do you need spiritual stones?"

Qu laughed and replied: "Haha! To be honest, my son is a qi-training monk, and he is in urgent need of spiritual stone cultivation..."

Lin Yi followed Qu Da, shaking his head secretly. No wonder this man was so calm and calm in the face of the immortal. It turned out that there was a monk in his family. However, Laolong and Hutou did not have spiritual stones, and they took many with them when they left Kyushu...

At this moment, the sound of a wine jar breaking suddenly came from the yard, and then someone said angrily: "It's too much to bully someone..."
