Later, Tang Ping told Yanxuan a lot of strange things in the spiritual world, such as a huge black moth covered in poisonous powder, an evil owl with two heads, and strange insects that were as flexible in the land as fish in the water. , these novel things that he had never heard of, let alone seen, were all on a map. After looking at them for a long time, Yanxuan actually felt like he was yearning for them.
"Actually, my map is very rough and general. It is used by the elders in the family to enlighten younger generations like us. The things drawn on it are actually well-known in the spiritual world."
"Every family or sect should have a unique map that truly records treasures. That one is the truly priceless treasure. Because no one wants others to know where the treasures are, maps like that are kept secret by every family. "
Yanxuan nodded as she listened. Now she really wanted to see with her own eyes what the world was like and how many rare things she had never heard of before.
Tang Ping saw Yanxuan staring at the map with a longing expression, smiled slightly, and suddenly began to recite:
"Zhongzhou is infinitely vast. The southern part is bounded by the endless blue sky, and the northern part is covered with glaciers and thousands of miles of snowfields. Although there are more than 740 countries, there are mountains and rivers, swamps, plain capitals, dense forests and valleys, deep caves and dangerous shoals. Those who haven’t arrived yet don’t know what the world is like. There are monsters, beasts, and birds here, either soaring in the forest valleys or lurking in the mountains. There are also strange flowers and fruits that are rarely seen in the world.
The scenery of Zhongzhou is full of diverse weather conditions: the spring wind is warm and the leaves are green, the flowers are blooming and butterflies are dancing, the summer dew is singing, the cicadas are chirping, the rain is thundering, the autumn sky is high and the geese are far away, the rice and wheat are ripe, the winter is restrained, and the ice and snow are hidden;
The people of Central Continent are like swarms of bees and ants, toiling and wasting their time, busy running about. There are those who want to overcome life and death and seek immortality; there are those who are burdened with all kinds of troubles and seek liberation; there are those who are lame and trapped and seek to travel far; there are those who are blind and ignorant and seek omniscience; there are those who are majestic and heroic and seek dominance. In the world, there are those who cook dragons and phoenixes in order to grow rich and noble, and there are those who look through them with tearful eyes in order to stay together forever.
What you want is not unattainable. However, there are people in the world who do false things to gain fame and spread wrong ways for profit. They say that the traces of immortals are lonely and hard to find and hidden in the world. They also say that immortals are dissolute and always in front of others. They are foolish men and women. Some people live in a hut and hide their names in the woods and springs, some people go barefoot in the market without fear of humiliation, some family wealth is gone and they endure hunger and cold for a long time, some people use guidance to refine their Qi and take bait and food elixirs. When we look at it, we lament its tossing and turning, lament its hard work and solitary achievements, laugh at its fate in seeking fish, and pity its return without knowing how to get lost.
However, his situation is so different from that of our generation. He is brave in his heart and works hard in action, and he is crazy about love and runs for his life. Riding on the golden light, walking on the frost, walking on the clouds, stepping on the sea frontier, experiencing nine tribulations, getting the heavenly sword, entering the nine secluded places, finding the cave, slaying evil and demons, cutting off relatives and forgetting love, seeking longevity but being lonely, wanting to be free and lonely. His travels, hard work, hardships and hardships are no different from those of other people.
I laugh at people, but I don’t know who laughs at me!
When people see me, they call me an immortal. What do immortals call me when they see me? "
Yanxuan was completely stunned. Every word that Tang Ping recited painted a scene for her that she had never seen before: under the sky, under the flowing clouds, countless mountains and rivers were like exquisite pictures. A picture unfolded in front of her eyes. The waterfall was flowing white, the lake was like a mirror, the ripples caused by the fish leaping out of the water disrupted the reflection of the geese in the sky, and the breeze rustled through the forest tops, making the forest pink. The flowers swayed slightly, and the wind carried the cries of apes and the faint roar of tigers. Over the mountains and across the forest seas, the plains were dotted with villages where chickens and dogs heard each other, and farmers were working on their hoes. After returning, walking along the main road where vehicles come and go, you will see bustling cities. There are many shops in the city, and the people are noisy. People are walking shoulder to shoulder in the city. In the air where the noise cannot reach, occasionally an immortal's clothes are fluttering and startled. It streaked across the city like a giant, circled twice in the air and then disappeared deep into the white clouds.
All of this was something she had never experienced before in the extremely boring Yan family. She was lost in thought for a long time before looking at Tang Ping and asked: "Is this?"
"My sixth grandfather taught me this before, and he even boasted that he wrote it."
Yanxuan nodded and asked: "A Ping, is the world really that big and so novel?"
Tang Ping noticed Yan Xuan's fascinated expression and understood, so she smiled and said, "Sister Yan, this world is very big."
"Yes." Yanxuan nodded in agreement, her mind still immersed in the extremely vast and wonderful world described by Tang Ping.
"If you want to see it, you have to become a monk first, and the higher your cultivation level, the better." Tang Ping said.
Yan Xuan's heart moved, she raised her head and glanced at Tang Ping gratefully, and said, "Thank you, A Ping."
"Thank you, I didn't do you any favors."
"I'm much better now, my heart is no longer blocked, and I feel much more comfortable. Of course I have to thank you." Yanxuan said sincerely, yes, not only can he travel around the world freely, but he can also change his destiny and serve his mother, so why not cultivate immortality?
"Yeah, I'm embarrassed to say that, hehe." Tang Ping said with a rare shy smile.
"Oh, if I can pay more attention, I can remember more. The old man taught me a lot, but I was so playful at that time that I didn't remember most of them. However," Tang Ping's naughty thoughts came up again, A narrow-minded thought popped up again.
"I have something good to show you." As she said that, Tang Ping reached for the storage bag, then immediately looked up and said, "Close the doors and windows first, it's not good for others to see it."
"What is it, so mysterious?" Yanxuan asked without knowing what was going on.
"Hey, close the door, close the window. I'll close the window." Tang Ping stood up and closed the window tightly.
Although Yanxuan didn't know what it was, he got up and closed the door. The room was not dark, and the light from outside shone through the window paper.
"Look!" Tang Ping said, and like a magic trick, she took out a beautiful white porcelain wine bottle with a narrow neck and pattern from the storage bag, and took out two small cups from it. After thinking about it for a while, she took out another The third small cup.
"Wine?" Yanxuan asked hesitantly.
"That's right!" Tang Ping picked up the wine pot and started pouring wine.
"That's not good. We two girls are drinking. Besides, I don't know how to drink." Yanxuan was really embarrassed now. She knew about alcohol. Her father often drank outside. She was deeply impressed by the medicinal wine prepared by her mother to treat people's illnesses.
"Stop it, wait a moment." Tang Ping interrupted Yanxuan with a gesture, and then looked seriously at the fox Xiaobai who was standing on the table, wagging his tail back and forth and making a begging gesture. Yanxuan was also surprised at this time. The little fox can actually put on a pitiful expression in such an anthropomorphic way.
"It's just one cup, do you hear me? Don't act coquettishly or cheat, otherwise I won't have your share."
Fox Xiaobai actually nodded!
"That's just right. Well, if you behave well, I can consider giving you half a cup more."
As she spoke, Tang Ping picked up the wine bottle and poured it down. A thin line of light amber fell straight from the wine spout into the wine glass. Soon the glass was full.
"First for you, little drunkard!"
As he spoke, he pushed the wine glass in front of Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai jumped around the wine glass twice on the table as if cheering. He wanted to drink but raised his head to look at Tang Ping with his blue eyes.
"Drink, I'm too lazy to clink glasses with you." Tang Ping scolded with a smile, and Xiao Bai stretched out his pink tongue and licked the wine in the glass.
From the moment the wine was poured out, Yanxuan felt a faint scent of osmanthus on the tip of his nose. It was not strong, but it actually spread in the room. Moreover, this smell was not that of the kind of spirits he had come into contact with. Spicy, but an intoxicating scent of osmanthus. Although the smell is very sweet, it is not something that can be easily swayed away. It is intangible but qualitative. Even if you walk around the room, the scent of osmanthus will linger. It could almost penetrate her body and still stay in place. She felt that even if she started running around the room, the scent of osmanthus would still be there and would not be stirred by the wind driven by her clothes.
"It smells so good!" Yanxuan admired sincerely in a daze.
"Of course!" At this time, Tang Ping had filled the remaining two cups with wine. She picked up a cup and handed it to Yanxuan. Although the aroma of wine was intoxicating, Yanxuan was still a little hesitant about drinking.
"This?" She was still struggling whether to drink or not.
"Sister Yan, do you know what kind of wine this is?" Seeing that Yanxuan still refused to drink it, Tang Ping seduced her bit by bit.
"Is this a bar brewed with osmanthus?"
"Yes, it is osmanthus wine, but this is not an ordinary osmanthus wine. My sixth grandfather brought a lot of good wine to my third grandfather when he returned to Tang's house this time, and this pot is one of them. Hum hum, take advantage of it when no one is paying attention. , I came out smoothly."
"You stole the wine?"
"Oh, there's nothing to say about this. Come on." After saying that, Tang Ping put the wine glass on the table again, pulled Yanxuan to sit down again, and then said, "Listen to me, you will definitely drink. If you don't drink, you will be a fool." Is the dog okay?”
"Okay, you say."
"Sister Yan, my sixth grandfather is a monk in the elixir formation stage. You already know this."
Yanxuan nodded as he listened.
"Although the monks in the Dan Formation Stage are great, there are actually many people in the Five Spirit Sect who have similar cultivation levels to my Sixth Grandpa, and there are also many people who have higher cultivation levels than him. However, my Sixth Grandpa is still very famous in the Five Spirits Sect. There are many Those who are higher in cultivation than him also want to see my sixth grandfather’s face, do you know why?”
Yanxuan shook his head after hearing this.
"That's because the wine made by my sixth grandfather is the best in Wuling Sect."
"Did your sixth grandfather make this wine?" Yanxuan asked in surprise.
"Of course."
"Is it possible that monks all like to drink and are all drunkards?"
"Oh, that's wrong, please listen to me," Tang Ping continued to add, "I tell you, this is an authentic monk in the elixir formation stage who personally used the osmanthus from his spiritual orchard and some other genius techniques. Bao spent a lot of effort and effort to brew it over the years, and it was brewed by Elder Shuiyun Gutang of Wuling Sect. In this world of cultivating immortals, this glass of wine is hard to find, oh, a cultivator. If you don’t value gold and silver, it’s hard to find them anyway.”
Yanxuan was amused by these words, "Really?"
Tang Ping looked at Yanxuan and smiled, thinking that she didn't believe it, "This is really the wine made by the old man. I'm too lazy to steal other people's wine!"
"Okay, I believe you."
"This osmanthus wine is the lightest of all the wines this time. It is not alcoholic or intoxicating. Moreover," Tang Ping looked at Yanxuan's eyes and said, "You know why my sixth grandfather's wine Are you famous?"
"have no idea."
"Because the wine he brews is very useful for cultivators to refresh themselves, rejuvenate their spirits, and improve their cultivation. Alas, drinking the wine he brews is particularly beneficial to cultivators. This pot of osmanthus wine I heard that it was prepared for the juniors of the Tang family who are similar to me. It can help them cleanse the impurities in their bodies and condense the sea of qi as soon as possible. The eyes of those little guys have grown to the top of their heads. They have long been seen. It's pleasing to the eye, so good things can't be their turn, so I brought this pot of wine right in front of you. Think about it, what effect will it have if we drink it, eh?"
As she spoke, Tang Ping picked up the wine glass and put it into Yanxuan's hand, then picked up her own glass and touched it lightly, "Do it!"
"You just said that immortals take elixirs to improve their cultivation. Why did you become wine again?"
"Oh, Sister Yan, there are many ways for monks to improve their cultivation. Pills can be used, but elixirs are rare after all. That's why we have spiritual wine, which is also very useful for improving cultivation. In addition, there is the Houtu Temple. You can cook the meat of demon beasts through secret methods and eat them to improve your cultivation. It is said to be very delicious. I really have to try it in the future. I’m not going to lie to you. Come, Sister Yan, have a glass of hard-to-find spiritual wine, cheers!"
This is indeed a real temptation!
Yanxuan was ignorant about the world of immortality from the beginning until Tang Ping opened a window for her to see the infinite scenery, and then placed the immortal wine in front of her. What should she have to worry about? Then, he imitated Tang Ping, raised his head and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.
The refreshing fragrance of osmanthus spreads through the body and mixes with the aroma in the room. The door of the room is not closed tightly, and the windows are not closed tightly. The aroma more or less floats out through the gaps. Yanxuan feels that he has turned into a human being. Nothingness was everywhere in the room, and drifted out through the cracks in the doors and windows. I saw the blue sky and white clouds outside, and felt the gentle itching on my face from the warm wind outside.
"Come! Good things come in pairs!" As she said that, Tang Ping handed another full cup to Yanxuan.
"Are you telling the truth?" Yanxuan asked, picking up the wine glass again.
"What?"
"Is drinking this wine good for practice?"
"Hey, you've already drank. I've already told you that if you don't drink, you're just a puppy, haha."
"You, damn girl, you tricked me into drinking."
"Haha, Sister Yan, I won't lie to you. Really, come on, can I lie to you about the puppy? Look, Xiaobai has done it. Come on, Sanyang Kaitai." As she said that, Tang Ping gave a pity look. Xiaobai filled another cup.
"You are the puppy!"
The two little girls actually drank a few more drinks that day, and Yanxuan was finally clearer. Before the drunkenness set in, he moved Tang Ping, who was lying on the table, to the bed and lay down, and hugged Xiaobai, who was also very drunk. When they got to the bed, they finally fell down on the bed and fell asleep randomly. Even the sound of Yunpai playing dinner in Chunxiangtang didn't wake them up. When it was close to the third watch, the two of them slowly woke up and looked at each other. The two girls couldn't help but tease each other and fight. At this time, the two girls were hungry, so they ate all the candied fruits in the food box before giving up.
