Speaking of the wonders of this worldly wine, Lu Ran once asked Chu Yi.
Chu Yi said that wine is also called "jade liquid". What is "jade"? It is the material for immortality.
Even if you are a true immortal with a body as thick as a cloud, you will still inevitably get drunk after drinking wine brewed by mortals.
Lu Ran asked again, wouldn't it mean that as long as I drink every day, as long as I don't die from drinking, won't I be able to become an immortal just by being drunk one day?
Chu Yi looked at his girlish pupils, which were not bright and even a little cloudy at that time.
"Otherwise, why do you think I can drink with you?"
…
With such a small cup, Mandao Yuan was already drunk after drinking three cups.
Lu Ran had five cups.
The two drunk people's temperaments did not change drastically, but they both let out a lot of emotions.
The topics discussed were naturally much broader and more unrestrained.
One thing at a time, bit by bit, from Zhennan to Xia Ya, and from Xia Ya back to Zhennan, it was indeed possible to talk about life in detail after midnight.
However, what Mantao Yuan complains about most is work.
For her, complaining about work means complaining about life.
He joined the Bureau of Family Affairs at the age of twenty-two. It is impossible to calculate the year. He only knows that one day thirty years ago, he had been promoted and became a veritable leader in the Bureau.
The so-called clan affairs refer to representing thousands of mortals in Jueying City, negotiating with immortals and handling matters related to immortals.
Over the past three hundred years, Mandao Yuan has seen countless absurd things, such as summoning souls to feed ghosts, becoming possessed by demons, killing wives and taking eggs, and refining alchemy to fill the sea. Things that once made Mandao Yuan doubt the meaning of cultivating immortals, and It made her deeply realize that the essence of immortals is still human, more pure human beings.
Since it is pure, there will naturally be more pure good people and more pure bad people.
But the thing that makes me puzzled is that there are obviously many good people in the world, but when I come to the immortals, there are not many good immortals?
For selfish reasons, or is that the nature of it?
Or is it just because of the effect of practice itself?
Mandao Yuan poured another drink for the two of them, as if he was asking Lu Ran, and also seemed to be asking himself.
"Maybe because it's easier to be a bad person, right?" Lu Ran took the glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a silly smile.
Madoka Manshima followed him and asked stupidly: "Is it easier?"
Lu Ran tilted his head, "If you want to live for such a long time, you have to choose an easier way to live."
Man Daoyuan raised his thumb, "As expected of Brother Ran, so transparent!"
Unconsciously, Mandao Yuan sat closer and closer to Lu Ran, and even the names between the two changed.
At least during this period of drunkenness, the relationship between the two was unprecedented and infinitely closer.

Time passed through Chou hour and came to Yin hour.
Young Ma Xiaoyan got up early, washed himself carefully, had breakfast, and then put on his favorite all-season gown, a pink thistle embroidered with orchids.
Then he waited, waiting for the cockcrow to break the dawn.
While waiting, he suddenly remembered Ran Lu. Now he knew that person's real name was Lu Ran.
That was also the first time he hid in the dark and observed this person.
The man drank some kind of strong drink with a female demon fairy. After one glass, he fell drunk on the table.
However, a moment and a half later, he actually woke up again.
Then he started to go crazy and harassed all the guests in the tavern one by one.
In the end, he settled on a monk of similar age to him. Later he learned that this was Chun Ming, the 24th contestant of the Huantian Dajiao. Lu Ran harassed Chun Ming, saying things like "I am empty, lonely and cold" and "Your You have beautiful eyes," "Are you as homesick as me?" and other words, but the spring free contestant resisted him with a stinky face like a pig resisting death.
At that time, he was thinking, how could someone like this advance to the next round.
Unexpectedly, such a person could reach the finals by accident all the way through pure luck.
This is simply unreasonable.
However, today, all that is no longer important, because I have already obtained something in advance that these immortal cultivators may not be able to obtain even if they risk their lives.
The quota for one inner disciple.
Ma Xiaoyan looked at an iron mask that was as black as night and seemed to have billions of stars in it. He smacked his lips and smiled like an old fox who had been practicing for thousands of years.

"Sister, there's no way to go ahead."
The boatman blinked his eyes that were almost completely sunken into the sockets, licked his lips that were also split into pieces with his tongue that was split into several pieces, stopped rocking, and said to Qingwu in a dreamy voice.
In this sea area, the water has returned to its light pink color, and the sky and earth are also filled with a light pink mist, with a light floral fragrance.
"I know." Qingwu nodded, patted Chu Yi's butt, and told him to look not far ahead.
About two or three miles away, there was a huge thing, towering over the sky and the sea, standing there.
"Really?" Chu Yi is not a fool. Such a miracle can only be the legendary treasure that opened the sky.
Qingwu didn't speak, but bit his back teeth unhappily.
Chu Yi asked cautiously: "I always thought that only the turbid sea exists, how come this clear sea also exists?"
"First, it is to isolate the two continents Tai'er and Taiyi. Second, this square world is round. As for the third..." Qingwu explained angrily: "Look carefully, here, have what?"
Chu Yi took a closer look and saw that behind the heavy water curtain, there was an equally huge object flashing with golden light, looming.
"That's it?" Even though he was somewhat familiar with these golden lights, Chu Yi couldn't figure out what the object was.
"What kind of treasure is that?" Chu Yi only felt that the sparkle in it seemed to contain infinite magic power.
Qingwu didn't answer, but narrowed his eyes, licked his lips, and said angrily: "That's all, let's go back."
Chu Yi made a fuss and said, "Huh? Just left like that? You went through so much trouble to come here just to take a look?"
"It seems that next time you come, you have to bring our brother Ran with you."
Qingwu turned around, smiled, and ordered the boatman to turn the boat around, and the two demons and one mandrill went back to Oak City.

Madoka Manshima said that he had lived for three hundred years, but he probably didn't talk as much as he did in the past few hours today.
Lu Ran said that if he calculated it this way, he would have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years.
Mandao Yuan smiled and said, maybe it is true. As long as there are friends and wine, there will be endless topics to talk about.
Lu Ran patted his chest and said, there will be friends. I can introduce my two friends, oh no, two brothers to you. From now on, the four of us will be together, maybe adding Chu Yi, and the five of us will drink wine together. , until daylight.
Speaking of daylight, it was indeed already daylight outside, and before we knew it, it was Mao hour.
Madoka Mandao glanced at the clock in a secret place on the roof, and his heart suddenly moved, and the people he followed also became a little more awake.
She asked Lu Ran a question, which was also the last question.
"If today is the end of this world, what do you want to do?"
