Then, the method of making wine has some similarities with refining alchemy.
This jar of wine is classified as a legal medicine and is supposed to be time-effective. But brewing wine with Yuanqi and brewing it for a long time can keep the medicinal power of the wine for a long time and make it stronger as it brews.
Of course, after being taken out of the wine cellar, the medicinal power of the wine begins to lose, so it is best to drink it as soon as possible.
Nan Yi casually pondered the similarities and differences between the art of brewing wine and the art of refining medicine, then walked through the streets and alleys, and finally arrived at Shop No. 9 on Chengnan Third Street, outside the Chengyou Bookstore.
He straightened his expression and walked into the bookstore.
In the bookstore, you can find all kinds of new books, ancient books, copybooks, newspapers and periodicals.
But for some reason, the bookshelf closest to the store door is not filled with newspapers and periodicals, but "Jian Deng News", "Flower Shadows Between Curtains", "Zen Zhenyi Shi", "Jade House Spring", and "Nine-tailed Turtle" , "Kongkong Huan", "Lianxiang companion" and other palace erotic books.
Nan Yi glanced at the title of the book with his peripheral vision, and his heart skipped a beat.
He had originally expected Tao Zhiming to be an elegant scholar.
But judging from the titles of the books displayed at the door of the store, it seemed that Tao Zhiming would be much more down-to-earth than he imagined.
Nan Yi took two more steps inside and finally saw Tao Zhiming who was sorting out the bookcases in the corner of the bookstore.
Then, Nan Yi also officially confirmed that Tao Zhiming was indeed completely different from what he imagined.
Although Tao Zhiming was wearing a blue shirt, his hair was disheveled and untied, so he could not be considered a scholar.
His blue shirt was not tied up, but opened directly, exposing his chest and abdomen, giving him a free and unrestrained look.
Nan Yi pursed his lips and said, "Nan Yi has met Senior Brother Tao."
As he spoke, he held the wine jar with his left hand and took out the letter Li Taihua gave him with his right hand.
Nan Yi was about to continue speaking.
Tao Zhiming waved his hand casually: "There is no need to introduce the purpose of your visit. Li Taihua asked me before, and I already know that he asked me to be your guide."
As Tao Zhiming waved, the letter Nan Yi held in his right hand flew directly to the counter at the back of the bookstore; the wine jar held in his left hand fell into Tao Zhiming's hand.
Tao Zhiming weighed the wine and asked, "Junior brother, maybe he drinks?"
Nan Yi was slightly surprised when he heard this.
I was surprised that Tao Zhiming acted recklessly and seemed completely different from others in his painting style. I was also surprised that when Tao Zhiming saw him, he asked him directly if he could drink without talking to him beforehand.
I don’t know if it’s because this world attaches great importance to rules, but everyone Nan Yi has met since time travel has been quite upright in their words and deeds.
Even Li Taihua and Du Yuanfu, when they were scolding and joking a few days ago, were actually quite elegant and did not lose the image of scholars.
Nan Yi never thought there was anything wrong with this before.
But seeing Tao Zhiming, Nan Yi suddenly felt that the so-called elegance seemed a bit like being reserved, not truly relaxing and unrestrained.
Tao Zhiming, on the other hand, seems to be wanton and wanton, but he has a certain magnanimity of his own.
Nan Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"I haven't had any drinks before. But if senior brother wants to drink, Nan Yi is willing to accompany him."
A smile appeared at the corner of Tao Zhiming's mouth and he said, "Then drink all this wine first."
He waved over a small table and two empty bowls, and placed them directly on the open space between the bookcases.
Then, Tao Zhiming sat directly on the floor and started pouring wine.
Nan Yi didn't hesitate and sat on the ground.
The two picked up the wine bowls, clinked the wine and started drinking.
Tao Zhiming drank the entire bowl in one gulp. Nan Yi was not so reckless. He took a sip first and felt that the taste was similar to the ordinary liquor in his previous life. It did not burn his throat, so he drank it all in one gulp.
Then, the two of them drank three bowls each and finished sharing the altar of immortal drunkenness.
After Nan Yi drank half the jar of wine, he felt warm all over his body. He knew that the medicinal power in the wine was beginning to take effect and was transforming into spiritual energy, which was about half a month's worth of Taoism.
But at the same time, the alcohol began to surge up, making Nan Yi slightly dizzy.
Feeling dizzy, Nan Yi was wondering whether he should use "Full Recovery" to get rid of the alcoholism.
Tao Zhiming said, "You don't have to hold on. Relax when you need to, and sleep when you want to. Drinking today is meant to make you relax."
After hearing this, Nan Yi no longer hesitated, relaxed and planted directly on the ground.
Tao Zhiming flicked his fingers, causing Nan Yi to slowly fall to the ground. At the same time, he simulated using the water control technique, using water vapor to take away the dust on the ground and Nan Yi's clothes, and bounced the dust ball outside the bookstore door.
He waved his hand and summoned a thin blanket to cover Nan Yi.
Then, Tao Zhiming returned to the counter, took out the letter and looked at it a few times.
The letter said that he asked Tao Zhiming to be Nan Yi's guide and guide Nan Yi in his future practice. However, please Tao Zhiming be patient, pay a little attention to the image of the Wuxiang student, and don't be too arrogant in words and deeds, so as not to scare junior Nan Yi.
Tao Zhiming smiled noncommittally.
He knew Li Taihua would say this. Therefore, he didn't read the letter and waited for Nan Yi to have a drink before opening the letter and reading it.
Tao Zhiming secretly thought: Junior Brother Li, it's not that senior brother doesn't listen to you, it's just that it was too late when I read the letter.
Of course, this also depends on Nan Yi.
If Nan Yi couldn't let go and showed hesitation, Tao Zhiming would not force Nan Yi to sit on the ground and drink with him.
But if this is the case, although Tao Zhiming will still be Nan Yi's guide, he will not really give guidance. After all, people on different paths are not people who share the same path.
Fortunately, Nan Yi's performance made Tao Zhiming very satisfied.
Tao Zhiming didn't care what Nan Yi thought or how he could be so wise. All he knew was that as long as Nan Yi could let go of her arrogance and not be bound by unreasonable rules and care about bullshit image, she could have a common topic with him.
Tao Zhiming rubbed his fingers gently and turned the letter into powder.
Then, he looked at Nan Yi, holding his chin with his left hand, thinking...
When Nan Yi woke up leisurely, it was already afternoon.
Nan Yi stood up from the ground, woke up, and said apologetically: "I made my senior brother laugh. It's my first time to drink, so I'm a little too drunk."
"It's okay, this wine is strong. Your cultivation level is still young, so it's normal that you can't handle the strength of the wine." Tao Zhiming smiled, "But if you can drink this wine happily, it means that you and I are destined."
"In my opinion, rules are very important, but it also depends on whether they are real rules or fake rules. Those real rules are related to one's own practice. They are called precepts and taboos. You must abide by the rules and keep them in your heart."
"But it's just a fake rule, a fake thing, something that doesn't exist, just look at it. Don't really take it to your heart. If you really worry about it, it's something that doesn't exist."
"In our practice, we should be pure, relax our minds, base ourselves on our own nature, and seek the joy of practice for ourselves, rather than practice for others or other thoughts. If our purpose is not pure and we are willing to be bound, sooner or later we will be troubled by inner demons and lose our way. "
"If that's the case, in my opinion, it's better not to practice this way."
