The Dayuan tribe is a hundred miles away from the border, and the felt tents are getting thinner. On the contrary, there are more and more buildings. Perhaps it is because they are in contact with Zihao. For hundreds of years, the people in the Dayuan tribe next to the border have gradually become like Zihao. There were some interactions between the two people, and as a result, the felt tents they used to live in were gradually replaced by buildings and houses, and they became accustomed to living there.
The old man was taking a leisurely stroll in front, while the woman was leading the horse behind.
Snowflakes fluttered, coming and going suddenly, but they never fell around the old man, avoiding him.
"Since the Great Yuan Dynasty has been around, these snowflakes have been fluttering. The surrounding areas may not have entered autumn yet, but we are already in the middle of winter. I have seen it for a long time, and I am a little upset." The old man said with emotion, waving his sleeves. , the snow light in the sky stopped.
"It's a pity that the realm has not yet been fully achieved. Every time I use Taoism to stop the violent snow, it only takes half a stick of incense, and it is far from lasting. I really envy the people of Zhongzhou, with spring breeze and summer rain, and peaceful sky."
The woman raised her head and looked at the many layers of snow piled up in the sky, which lingered for a long time, with a deep expression on her face.
Just with this ability, you can get a glimpse of what this old man is capable of.
"You, a girl, have good knowledge and good temperament. After all, you shouldn't stay in a dilapidated place like Ziluan Palace and be content with your own stagnation. Going out to see the world is a good choice." The woman remained silent, but the old man did not get angry. , but focused on talking by himself, with a solid gait, and said as he walked, "I heard that you are very talented in formations. This time you leave the palace, you probably want to take advantage of the gap in the past few years to go out and learn some skills, or... Climb the high branch of the master's gate, and when you return, you will have two more points to rely on when you break the contract with me, Xumeng Mansion."
"You are right, but your thinking is still too shallow." The lights in front of him gradually became clearer. The old man stopped, turned to the woman and smiled, "There are many immortal sects in the world, but the head of the immortal family who has an irreversible friendship with Zhang Lingdu, and How many can there be? The Purple Luan Palace has been passed down for thousands of years, but the palace owners in recent generations are not sages and talents. They can only get in and out. How many layers of the sect's heritage is left that attracts the great masters from the outside world? ?”
Seeing that the woman's expression was getting colder and colder, the old man did not want to offend his daughter-in-law too much. He stopped talking for a while and continued after a while, "As for practice, I think it is like bending a bow to shoot wild geese. It is very simple. However, there are really very few people who can do it well. If talent is compared to a bow string, if you want to make the arrow feathers precise and accurate, whether the bow string is soft, hard and flexible must be crucial, as can the force of the bow, etc. That’s also the key.”
"This arrow feather is separated by a hundred steps, and it arrives in an instant. It can be practiced for a period of time, not just a hundred steps. Moreover, thousands of winds and frosts separate it. You can really obtain extraordinary Tao fruits in a few years, just like my Xu Meng." Is the government challenging you?"
The woman was not afraid and spoke sarcastically, "Could it be that the seniors really thought they could get the wild geese back? Decades ago, I'm afraid the seniors wouldn't have guessed that they would reach such a great state now that they could shelter their nephews and descendants and dominate the Yuan tribe. Be blessed."
The old man paused for a moment and then said with a confused expression, "You, a girl, have gone too far with the word "powerful". Although my son behaves quite casually, he is still not out of his ordinary state. He is in the Three Immortal Mountains of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Among the sects at the head of the sect, they are more powerful and domineering than others. In my opinion, they are not considered arrogant. It seems that most of the sect masters’ descendants among the immortal sects in the world are fair-faced and murderous. My dear master, my son’s actions are not out of the ordinary.”
While they were talking, the two of them had already stepped into a tavern. The waiter probably felt that it was snowy and smoky outside and there were no passers-by, so he lay behind the counter and snored, falling into a dazed sleep. The old man knocked on the table twice, and finally When he woke up, he quickly got up and tied the black deer's head to the woman, and apologized repeatedly.
The old man ordered a pot of Di Zhu wine, and saw that the woman's face was blue from the cold. He also ordered two hot dishes and a pot of soup, while he slowly drank the Di Zhu wine, feeling at ease.
The original meaning of Dizhu is to wash away the blood on the edge of the knife. The brave people in the Yuan Dynasty often hunted wolves and robbed the knife. The knife bloomed with blood and screamed like a knife when the cold wind blows. The blood stasis often solidified on the blade, snow water It was difficult to wash, so he took out the wine bag and poured it towards the knife edge to wash away the scarlet blood. The wine pulp was strong, so he named it Dizhu.
In addition, when the wine is brewed, mugwort leaves need to be pounded into a pulp and mixed into the wine. The taste is strong and spicy. Except for the old shepherds who hunted in the Yuan Dynasty, few people can withstand this pungent taste. The old man facing the woman had such a strong drink in his throat, but his expression did not change at all. On the contrary, his expression was extremely calm.
"There is a storyteller in the market. I have heard a few words about it, saying that it is a crescent knife made of vermilion wine and an eagle and a horse roaring in the lonely snow on a felt tent. This is the foundation of the Great Yuan Dynasty. At first, it was just a mockery, but now it is It makes more and more sense. In the misty rain of the Central Plains, without this red wine, the moonlight cannot keep up with the brightness of the Yuan Dynasty."
"The girl has thought clearly. She really wants to go out to Yuan Dynasty to search for Taoism. In the past few years, her parents have grown old, and the trees want to be quiet but the wind does not stop. This is a great sorrow in the world." The old man said with a smile, "Besides, when a woman goes out, there are many If you are inconvenienced, I know some formations. If you are willing to speak, I will teach you by the way. It will also happen that you will have more contact with my son. In fact, in the end, all the ice in the valley will be completely melted."
"The solitary ice of the North Mountain can be transformed into the bright spring sun, but cannot be transformed into the scorching fire. Seniors should know this truth." The woman held her left fist under the table, but took the pot of polyester red wine with her right hand and poured it into her mouth, " During the wedding day, I will return to Dayuan. When that time comes, seniors may wish to watch it again."
The old man looked at the woman across from him and said with a half-smile, "With a daughter-in-law like you, it would be a lot more lively to visit Huxu Meng's Mansion. Since you have made up your mind, I won't waste my time talking out of thin air. You can go whenever you want." .”
Only half an hour after entering the tavern, the woman stepped out again, got on her horse, and headed for the border gate.
"Master, what should we do now?" The waiter came forward, with one knee on the ground, lowered his head and asked.
"What else can I do?" The old man drank the few remaining polyzhu wine in the empty wine pot, his smile not changing, "How could Zhang Lingdu be so virtuous that he could get such a woman with such an extraordinary heart and skill. That girl is in the palm of her hand. What I took, if my guess is correct, is probably a very poisonous object in the Ziluan Palace. It can penetrate the skin and be extinguished by half a stick of incense. With my method, it is not difficult to save it, but the poison is designed to destroy people's meridians. , even if you save a life, you will probably leave a useless person."
"Go and offer some price and ask the woman who runs the inn to keep an eye on it. If anything changes, just let me know as soon as possible."
"I never thought that one day I would be able to follow the younger generation's advice. It's a pity that after a few years, I wanted to have a fight with this old man, so I thought it was a bit simpler."
The old man looked at the snow falling outside, and after a long time he said to the waiter, "Here's a pot of Zhongzhou wine. Although it's good, it's too cold and lonely."
