When Guo Xiaoyi heard that Mu Yun was about to heat up the bronze cauldron before lifting it, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Are you kidding me? If this cauldron is heated up, who would dare to touch it? Aren't they afraid of being cooked into meat?"
Mu Yun said calmly: "Since it is said to be a gambling fight, it is natural that both parties have to reach an agreement. Now Biffa and Caitou have been left to the discretion of Brother Guo, and I just made a small request and it was immediately rejected. This shows that Brother Guo really has no sincerity, so let’s not compete.”
Guo Xiaoyi's face turned red and he said with dissatisfaction: "You obviously don't dare to challenge and deliberately shirk it. How can you rely on me?"
Before Mu Yun could answer, he heard Ji Guanliang say in a deep voice: "Second Senior Brother, please be patient for a moment. Come over here and I will teach you how to do it."
Guo Xiaoyi knew that this junior brother was always very resourceful, so he quickly approached him as he was told. The two of them bit their ears and talked for a while, but when they saw that the sadness on Guo Xiaoyi's face had disappeared, he put his hands together and laughed and said: "Okay! What a good idea, junior brother! Then follow the instructions of Mu The young hero wants to bet!"
Mu Yun felt slightly surprised, paused for a moment before nodding and said: "Brother Guo is so courageous, so I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders. Well... let's get firewood to start the fire."
Now that the decision was finalized, no one hesitated. After a while, a blazing flame ignited under the bronze tripod.
Everyone stood side by side, their whole bodies were being burned to the point of unbearable heat. In the swaying light of the fire, the glutton on the cauldron seemed to be alive, clearly showing its teeth and claws, ready to devour anyone of its choosing.
Although Guo Xiaoyi had a good idea, he felt his palms sweating at this moment. He looked at Mu Yun anxiously and said, "The fire is getting louder, can we start?"
Mu Yun nodded slightly and said, "It's almost done. How about asking Brother Guo to try his skills first?"
Guo Xiaoyi got what he wanted, and stepped out with a show of humiliation. However, he did not go to the bronze tripod in front of him, but to the woodshed next to him.
Xiao Lei was very surprised when he saw this, and quickly raised his voice: "Hey, Cauldron, if you are afraid, just say so. What does it mean to back down in the face of battle?"
Guo Xiaoyi turned a deaf ear and walked straight into the woodshed. After a while, he turned back and stepped out, holding a wooden stake as thick as a bowl in each hand, with a look of determination on his face.
After all, Xiao Lei is an exquisite person with seven orifices. After a moment's thought, he understood the reason. He couldn't help but curl his lips and said: "What a stupid little trick. You actually wrapped the steps of a stone with leaves. Huh... It's really shameless and obscene."
Ji Guan Liangjun blushed slightly and simply ignored it. At this time, he saw Guo Xiaoyi striding to the front of the bronze tripod and putting two wooden stakes through the two tripod ears.
Then Guo Xiaoyi put one end of the wooden stake on his shoulder, gathered all his strength, and with a loud shout, he used both arms to lift the bronze tripod upside down!
Although he was lucky enough to escape the pain of the fire, Guo Xiaoyi still felt short of breath when the scorching cauldron hit his head. When he tried his best to hold on, his face was already red from holding back, and his teeth were clenching. Everyone was stunned. I couldn't help but sweat for him.
Ji Guanliang knew that Guo Xiaoyi could not hold on for long, so he quickly said to Mu Yun: "I dare to ask Brother Mu, if this means my second senior brother has been lifted up, do you accept it or not?"
Mu Yun had a look of approval on his face, and he nodded immediately and said, "Brother Guo is so powerful, Brother Ji is so resourceful, I am truly convinced."
Ji Guanliang was immediately relieved and hurriedly called out: "Brother Mu has given up, Second Senior Brother, please put it down!"
To Guo Xiaoyi, this sound was no less than the sound of nature. He gritted his teeth and simply twisted his waist, let go and rushed forward at the same time.
This move made the golden cicada escape from its shell beautifully, but the copper tripod actually hit it. There was a loud cracking sound in the huge earthquake, and the two wooden stakes were broken on the spot.
Everyone suddenly felt a turbulence under their feet, like a bull turning over, and the power was extraordinary.
Guo Xiaoyi took a long breath, cupped his fist towards Mu Yun and said, "The class is playing tricks, let's give in."
This person's mouth is modest, but his face clearly says otherwise. Mu Yun smiled slightly, raised his hands and returned the greeting: "Brother Guo, please don't be impatient. I haven't tried it yet, so it would be too early to accept it now."
Guo Xiaoyi was immediately stunned, and said with doubt on his face: "You want to try too? How can you lift it up? Well... I think Brother Mu should stop trying so hard. It's not worth it if you hurt your body because of your anger."
Mu Yun still smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Guo for your concern, but a man will never lose when he loses to others. Even if he knows that he is not good enough, I still have to give it a try and finally be willing to accept it. Otherwise, don't you want to be ridiculed by everyone?"
Guo Xiaoyi's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, then you can try, but don't blame me for not reminding you."
After Mu Yun said he knew, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind him, and then Han Huixin's angry voice came: "You naughty children, you are still here all day long, do you really want to go to the house to unveil the tiles? Ah... Don’t be surprised, Mr. Mu, the little girl didn’t say anything about you.”
Mu Yun coughed lightly and said, "Miss Han is speaking harshly. In fact, I proposed to imitate the ancients and use this bronze tripod to cook wine as a show."
Han Huixin choked immediately, and then heard Mu Yun say in shock: "By the way, I wonder if there is good sorghum wine somewhere. The ancients used Jiu Jue to cook wine and drink it. Bronzeware and sorghum wine are a perfect match."
Han Huixin couldn't laugh or cry, but she still nodded and said: "Young Master Mu is indeed elegant. Of course he has good wine. Second Junior Brother and Third Junior Brother, come with me to the wine cellar."
When the Guo brothers heard that Mu Yun was conceited and resigned, they just thought that he had admitted defeat, and naturally they all obeyed his orders in joy.
In a short while, all the jars of fine wine were poured into the cauldron. The fire was burning and a mist was steaming. The rich aroma of the wine was refreshing.
Han Huixin took the wine glasses and distributed them to everyone. As her nose twitched, she nodded and praised: "Young Master Mu is really smart. It has been half a year since we dug up this big cauldron. We only treat it as a decoration, but we didn't expect it to be there." Such a wonderful use."
"Ahem...the wine is almost cooked now, so I'll get a long spoon and scoop it out for everyone to share."
After hearing this, Mu Yun waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, Miss Han. I've received a lot of hospitality today, so I should express my gratitude to the host. So I'll do my best to share the wine with you."
Han Huixin was not willing to comply. Just as she was about to say something to dissuade her, she saw Mu Yun walking up to the bronze tripod and reciting loudly: "Singing to wine, life is like a dew in the morning, and there will be many hardships in the past. Generosity should be used with generosity and worry. It’s unforgettable, Du Kang is the only one who can relieve my worries.”
The tone of the chant gradually became lower, and it was clear that he was worried. At this time, Xiao Lei coughed and said: "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. If you don't see it, the mirror in the high hall has sad white hair, and the morning is like blue silk." Twilight becomes snow.”
Mu Yun seemed stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "To be successful in life, you must have all the joy. Don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon. I am born with talents that will be useful. I will come back after all the gold is gone."
Famous articles throughout the ages were endless, and suddenly Mu Yun reached out with both arms, firmly holding the ears of the bronze cauldron. With his true strength, the ancient bronze cauldron rose up in an instant!
The wind helps the fire, the cauldron cooks the good mash, and the intoxicating aroma spreads around. It is the time to drink happily.
