Qingyang thought so at first, but he checked the wine gourd and found that the lid was still well closed and had not been opened. He sniffed carefully again. The smell of wine in the air was faint, with a refreshing fragrance and a hint of sweetness. It was far different from the last time he asked about the aroma of wine in the wine pool. It was definitely not leaked from his side. .
Afraid that everyone would not believe it, Qingyang also opened the lid of the wine gourd, poured it down, and said: "My gourd is empty, and I haven't opened it just now. The smell of wine does not come from here."
At this time, Master Songhe suddenly pointed forward and said, "That's over there. That's where I came from when I smelled the wine. It's so fragrant that it must be new wine."
Although Hu Zhensong and others are not drunkards like Songhe Laodao, they are also good drinkers. When they smell the aroma of wine, they want to go there and have a look. Moreover, they are all here to hunt for treasures. Maybe the thing that smells of wine is one of them. Treasure, so even though they knew there might be danger ahead, they still walked cautiously in the direction pointed by Songhe Laodao.
After walking forward for about ten feet, I turned around a small mountain col and exposed an old tree in front of me. The old tree was unknown for how many years. The trunk was five or six feet thick, but most of it was dry and rotten. Only a small half is still alive, with a few sparse leaves growing on it.
The smell of wine seemed to come from here, but after arriving here, everyone scanned the surroundings, but did not find any brewing place or any tools for holding wine. This is strange. Is the smell of wine just everyone's illusion?
Qingyang sniffed it with his nose and found that the smell of wine here was indeed stronger than before. The smell of wine should have come from here, but he hadn't found it yet. He raised his head and looked around. After a long time, he finally found a clue on the old tree.
I saw a beehive as big as a bowl hanging on the top of the small half of the tree trunk that was not dry yet. The hive was quiet and quiet, and no bees came or went. I don’t know whether the bees went out or the hive had been abandoned. It is from here that the fragrance comes.
At this time, other people also discovered the beehive. Old Taoist Songhe looked up at the beehive and said, "It's really strange that the aroma of wine can come out of the beehive."
Hu Zhensong said: "We are dealing with immortal masters this time. Have we seen too many strange things? I think it's okay for bees to make wine."
Everyone else nodded. It was true. They had seen too many things beyond their comprehension along the way. Stones could attack, rats could kill, and bees could make wine. Is it any wonder?
Just now they were far away and didn’t think anything, but now when they looked closely, the sweet and glutinous smell of wine made everyone salivate. Not to mention old drunkards like Songhe Laodao, even Hu Zhenheng couldn’t help it anymore, smash, smash, smash Mouth, said: "How about I go up and pick off the honeycomb, and we can all have a taste?"
Hu Zhensong grabbed him and said, "Who knows if there is any danger up there? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Hu Zhenheng said nonchalantly: "It's just a beehive, what danger can there be? We have so many experts, how can we not deal with a few bees?"
"That's not necessarily the case. We'd better be careful." Hu Zhensong reminded.
If it were outside, a beehive would not attract their attention, but here is the abandoned garden of the immortal masters. Even if the thing inside is just a beehive, it should be a rare and good thing, not to mention there is a kind of lethargy in this beehive. The intoxicating aroma of wine?
After some discussion, everyone decided to poke the hive down, but they had to be fully prepared before poking the hive. Let Qingyang and Qian Banxian, who were relatively weak, retreat first. The rest of them were fully prepared. Songhe Lao Dao picked up a stone and threw it at the beehive.
The stone had a sharp edge, and it was thrown by an expert like Songhe Laodao. A normal hive would definitely fall down, but after being hit, this hive only shook a little, but it was still hanging on the branch. , was not affected at all.
The things in the garden of the immortal masters were indeed extraordinary. The three of them waited for a while and saw that there were no bees flying around. They became more courageous. The two brothers of the Hu family also picked up stones and threw them at the beehive. Song He said He even flew up the tree, ready to pluck the beehive directly with his hands.
At this moment, suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the distance. Songhe Laodao stood high and looked far away, and saw a dozen yellow shadows flying towards this direction not far away. The yellow shadows were bees, but the bees were several times larger than normal bees. They were all menacing, as if they were extremely angry at someone who dared to destroy their nest.
Old Taoist Songhe couldn't help but think of the dangers he encountered a few times before. The creatures in this secret place seemed to be more powerful than those in the outside world. It was difficult to deal with so many. He immediately shouted, flew down from the tree, quickly came to Qingyang's side, picked up his apprentice and ran away. The two brothers from the Hu family and Qian Banxian were no exception. Each of them was faster than the other and fled in all directions.
The swarm of bees seemed to know how to move separately. When they saw the bad guys who destroyed their nest escape, the dozens of bees also divided into three groups and chased them. There are only two on Qian Banxian's side, and four on the Hu brothers' side.
As for Qingyang and the others, perhaps because of Songhe Laodao being the culprit, there were seven of them, and almost all the main force came over. Especially the leading queen bee is obviously one size larger than the other bees, and has a purple pattern on its back, which looks extremely weird.
Qingyang was pinched under the arm by Songhe Lao Dao, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is going to be troublesome. If there are only one or two, maybe the master can handle it. Now there are seven, and the large army of bees are here. , this is to put their master and disciple to death.
Along the way, I and my master had quite good luck. Although we encountered some troubles, we all had a close call. This time, our luck finally ran out. Am I going to die here today?
Old Taoist Songhe had excellent qinggonggong. Although he was holding a person, his escape speed was not satisfactory at all. He escaped halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye. It's just that the bees behind him deeply hated Songhe Lao Dao for destroying their nest, and they kept chasing him, but they couldn't get rid of them.
Gradually, Songhe Laodao felt a little strenuous. On the one hand, it was because he was old and he was holding a big living person, and on the other hand, it was because of the interference from the surrounding trees and weeds. The mountain road was already difficult to walk, and the ground was overgrown with vegetation. It was difficult to find a way out, not to mention that he was holding a person, but the bees were not affected and could fly freely in the air.
Not long after, the swarm of bees was less than two feet away from Songhe Old Road. The seven bees spread out and seemed to be preparing to set up an encirclement. The largest queen bee even accelerated in an instant, blocking Songhe in the blink of an eye. In front of Helao Road.
