"Wine, I want wine!"
Xihuang, the place where northwest and southwest meet.
In a small, inconspicuous town, a young man in white clothes was lying on the table and yelling. At first glance, he looked like he was going crazy with alcohol.
However, in this tavern, there are many other drinkers like this. Every one of them was yelling, and they were all lying on the table.
The strange thing is that the cultivation level of these drinkers is basically not low. Even the person with the lowest cultivation level can reach the eighth realm.
"Brother, why don't you come back yet—"
The young man in white raised his head and drank another bowl of slightly turbid liquor, then fell down completely, just muttering quietly.
At the counter not far from the table where he was sitting, a girl in burlap clothes was staring at the young man.
The girl is a waiter in this tavern.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with curiosity. Yes, she was curious. Because the wine in this tavern is named "Wangyou".
As the name suggests, drinking this kind of wine can make you forget all the sorrows in the world and get drunk happily.
This wine does have that effect.
However, the main reason why it can make people "forget their worries" is because its alcohol is extremely powerful. No matter how high your cultivation level is, you will fall down if you drink too much.
When drinking this wine for the first time, usually only three or five bowls are needed to make the drinker start talking drunkenly.
Usually as long as they drink a little more, the drinker will sleep like a dead pig and will never say anything drunk again.
Among the drinkers lying on the table, those who were still talking drunkenly had only drank one or two bowls.
But that young man in white...that young man in white had already drank ten jars of wine.
If a normal drinker drank so much, he would probably have to sleep here for a year and a half.
But what about this young man in white? He can still talk loudly and drunkenly.
Moreover, while talking drunkenly, the young man did not forget to refill his drink.
This is the first time the girl has seen such a strange guest. But even though she is here, this is not actually the first time she has seen such a customer.
Because...she had seen this young man in white as early as five years ago.
At that time, the young man in white clothes still looked very downcast. He was dressed like a Western Wilderness guest and was covered in blood.
And she started selling him wine from that time on. She still remembers the first time this young man came here to drink.
Eight hundred jars of wine... In one night, this young man drank eight hundred jars of wine here, but after drinking eight hundred jars of wine.
He was still able to speak.
At that time, not to mention her, even the owner of the tavern was shocked. From then on, the young man became a regular customer.
However, another year has passed since then. Within a year, this young man has been coming here to drink almost every day.
And his drinking capacity has also dropped from a few hundred jars at the beginning to dozens of jars.
One year later and two years later, the young man's drinking capacity has completely stabilized, stabilizing at around a dozen bottles.
Then... In the last two years, the young man's drinking became erratic again. Sometimes he can drink hundreds of jars.
Sometimes...he can only drink a few jars.
Today, before nightfall, this young man came here early, but he did not order wine as soon as he came up, but just sat there.
After sitting like this, he sat straight into the night. After nightfall, he started drinking, and now he looks like this again.
The waiter girl paid attention to him because she thought he was a different person.
But after so many years, she couldn't tell what made him different.
But over the years, listening to this young man's drunken talk, she often heard a few names, and heard stories related to those names.
Of course...those stories should only be part of the real story. She didn't know what the real story was.
"Squeak——"
Suddenly, the door of the tavern was pushed open. The girl turned her head and saw a group of young people dressed in black appearing at the door of the tavern.
The temperaments of those young people were surprisingly the same. They all had a cold look, giving people an infinitely mysterious feeling.
"Wangyou, two hundred altars."
The leading young man approached the counter. Without any unnecessary nonsense, he just silently took out the spirit stone and started ordering wine.
"Then... Sir, please go to the second floor."
Upon seeing this, the girl released her consciousness and immediately estimated that there were probably more than a hundred people staying outside the door. Obviously, these people are her guests.
When the guests came, she naturally had no reason to chase them away. It's just that her tavern is really too small and can't accommodate so many people.
"No."
"We're taking the wine away."
After hearing the girl's words, the leading young man just shook his head silently, refusing while silently explaining the reason.
When the girl saw this, she said no more. She just silently took out a space ring and handed it to the young man with a smile.
However, at this moment, a soft cry came from outside the door. When all the young people in black present saw this, they immediately saluted the owner of the voice.
"Wait a minute——"
The girl looked sideways and saw a handsome young man standing at the door, scanning the inside of the tavern as if he was looking for someone.
Finally... his eyes stopped on the young man in white. He frowned slightly at first, then nodded silently.
"Um--"
"Girl, take five jars of wine and put them on this young man's table. He and I are old acquaintances. We happened to bump into each other today and we plan to reminisce about old times."
"good."
After hearing this explanation, the girl didn't say much.
She silently prepared everything according to the requirements of the handsome young man. In the blink of an eye, the young man came directly to the young man in white.
But I saw that this person just sat down silently, then raised the wine bowl and drank silently. As for the other young men in black, they retreated silently.
"Who are you? Do I know you?"
After a long time, the young man in white seemed to have sobered up a bit, and suddenly raised his head... Naturally, he saw this handsome young man.
He frowned and thought for a moment, but still couldn't think of whether the person next to him was an acquaintance of his. That's why I ask this question.
"They're all acquaintances."
The handsome young man smiled slightly, as if he didn't intend to explain more. He just said this and then continued to taste the Wangyou wine in the bowl.
However, at the next moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, saying:
"He's right, they are indeed acquaintances."
One sentence made the handsome young man look horrified, and the young man in white completely sobered up and no longer looked drunk at all.
The girl looked again, but could not see anyone. But as soon as she turned her head, she noticed that there was someone suddenly on the wine table.
It's just that the atmosphere seems a bit... tense. Because the handsome young man was looking at the extra person with vigilance.
"introduce--"
"This is the fifth mountain river."
"This is Mubei Liang."
"As for me, I am Gu Qingyang."
