"Hahaha, Junior Brother Yuan, a certain family is here to have a drink!"
When Wang Qing saw Yuan Qing, he laughed and said. Zhu Ling'er stood aside and smiled at Yan Yan.
Yuan Qing suddenly felt happy when he heard the man's hearty laughter, and said loudly: "Hahaha, enough wine! Senior brother, Ling'er, come with me."
After saying the formula in his hand, the clouds and fog suddenly disappeared, revealing the quiet lake, the small island in the middle of the lake, and a simple and elegant bamboo house on the island.
Everyone landed on the island in the middle of the lake. Wang Qing looked around and praised: "Junior brother, the scenery here is really nice, much better than my Weapon Refining Peak."
At a glance, Zhu Ling'er saw the three characters "Qing Yuan Ju" engraved on the stone tablet in front of the house. Coupled with the structure of the bamboo house, the surrounding environment gave her a rather familiar feeling. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and looked at Yuan Qing. More gentle.
"Ling'er, Senior Brother Wang, please take a seat in the room." Yuan Qing stood in front of the stone tablet and extended his hand to guide him.
Wang Qing chuckled, and the man with the golden sword walked in the front; Zhu Ling'er walked side by side with Yuan Qing, with smiles on her face.
The furnishings inside the house are even more elegant: sapphire for the floor, green bamboo for the walls, half-rolled bamboo curtains, and the faint scent of sandalwood. There is a bamboo couch in the middle, with an exquisite coffee table on it, and several futons scattered around it.
The three of them sat down in front of the coffee table. Yuan Qing turned over his hands and took out the snow tea. Zhu Ling'er had already gathered water and fire. In a blink of an eye, the water boiled, and Yuan Qing was skillfully making tea. The two people's movements were smooth and natural, making Wang Qing envious.
Within a short while, the refreshing fragrance of tea came to your nose, refreshing your heart and mind. The tea color is green and white, with wisps of clouds and smoke floating on it, like snow-capped peaks gliding in the clouds. It tastes sweet in the mouth, and then becomes cold. The cold air goes straight up to the heavens, making people think clearly. It turns to generate heat, and the warmth is melting, and suddenly flows around the whole body, making the whole body comfortable.
"Good tea!" Zhu Ling'er and Wang Qing said in unison.
Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said: "Senior brother, if you like it, I still have some here, just take it."
Wang Qing chuckled: "No, no, this family is used to being vulgar. I just want to try such elegant things occasionally with the help of my junior brother. It's better to have wine on weekdays."
Yuan Qing couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Zhu Ling'er asked at this time: "Yuan Qing, you said you have something important to discuss with us, why?"
After hearing this, Wang Qing also agreed: "Yes, this is for incense and tea tasting. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Brother, it's okay to just say it."
Yuan Qing looked solemn when he heard this. He sat upright and said, "Yuan wants to ask, why should we choose? What is good and evil?"
After a pause, he saw that the two men also had serious faces, and he continued: "When I was young, I followed my grandfather to practice swordsmanship. Although I didn't know what it was, I traveled farther and farther. Then I wielded the sword Qingming, and heard that the sages had killed The demon defends the way, and his blood boils with enthusiasm. Then he kills the evil and kills the demon, it is so smooth! However, in front of the big demon, he is actually timid and hesitates to move forward, as if he is hanging on the edge of a cliff, and is in a dilemma."
As he spoke, he sighed: "Alas... If you advance, you will obey your heart and your thoughts will be clear, but you will be in danger of life and death; if you retreat, you will be wise and protect yourself, and you will have a few years of freedom, but you will feel depressed in your heart, like a general who abandons his armor and has no courage. Fortunately, With your help, I can fight the monsters and my depression will be relieved a little."
Having said this, he stood up slightly, bowed solemnly to the two of them, and asked, "Senior Brother, Ling'er, what should you do in this situation?"
After hearing this, Wang Qing blurted out: "Of course, we should avoid its sharp edges first, and when our wings are full, we can find the place back. Why show off our courage for a moment? Don't you know that there are green mountains left, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood? If you are really angry, , recruit some friends from the same profession, or borrow some magic weapons and weapons, and beat him to death. If one person can't beat him, how can a group of people not beat him? If it still doesn't work, then the realm is too different. It's lucky to be able to save his life. What kind of thoughts can I ask for?"
"What if your cultivation is stagnant and your path is cut off due to a lack of smooth thoughts?"
Wang Qing was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "Brother, don't you know that you have just passed the Yi Zhi? Doing it knowing that you can't do it is not a choice, but a death!"
Yuan Qing was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said with burning eyes: "If you don't hear it in the morning, you will die in the evening?"
After hearing this, Wang Qing sneered: "Huh, Wang doesn't care what others do, but if a certain family hears the Tao and will die, why practice a bird's Tao! Wang cultivates Taoism just to be able to drink a lot of wine, eat meat, and be happy." , everyone is dead, and there is no use in hearing the truth!"
Yuan Qing's heart moved, as if something had been touched. He was about to ask again, but he heard Wang Qing say: "It's very boring to think about these trivial things. Brother, please bring some wine!"
Yuan Qing smiled, took out a green gourd and handed it to Wang Qing. The latter took the gourd and drank a few mouthfuls of it, then spit it all over the floor with a "pop" sound.
Zhu Ling'er frowned slightly, and casually found a ball of water to clear away the stains on the ground.
Wang Qing put down the gourd, wiped his mouth, and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, brother, this wine of yours really doesn't taste good! It's sweet and greasy, like what women drink."
Seeing Zhu Ling'er looking at him with a smile on his face, Wang Qing slapped his head and quickly changed his words: "No, I mean...it's suitable for women to drink. I, a grown man like me, can't drink it."
Yuan Qing laughed when he saw this: "This is a gift from the shopkeeper of Tongbao Tower. I didn't expect it to be not to Brother Wang's liking."
Wang Qing slightly waved his hand, then took out a small dark red jar from his arms, and then took out two white porcelain sea bowls, patted open the sealing mud, poured a bowl for himself and Yuan Qing, and said with a wicked smile: "Try it. .”
Yuan Qing saw his strange expression and felt slightly suspicious. Picking up the sea bowl, I saw that the wine was red in color and pure, but it smelled of a faint fragrance. After hesitating for a moment, I took a sip and felt that it was refreshing, sweet and extremely smooth. Suddenly, a fire broke out in his belly, like a fire dragon that instantly swam across his limbs and bones, and then the smell of alcohol rose, reaching straight to the sky.
Yuan Qing's face turned red instantly, his eyes were blurred, and his body was unstable, but then he returned to normal with a flash of silver light.
"Good wine!" Yuan Qing praised with unfinished content.
Wang Qing chuckled: "This is the kind of wine a man should drink!"
"Do you have a name?"
"The name of the wine is Chi Yan. It is made from seven kinds of fire spirit fruits, supplemented by secret techniques, and brewed for ten years. Such a small jar requires one hundred spirit stones."
Zhu Ling'er frowned slightly on the side, looked at Yuan Qing, and thought: I won't just become an alcoholic... Then she said aloud: "Yuan Qing, don't you still want to talk about good and evil?"
Wang Qing snorted softly and said: "If you ask me, let's talk about the good and evil of a bird. Wouldn't it be nice for you and me to drink him here and turn him upside down, and then stay drunk for three days and three nights?"
Zhu Linger snorted coldly when she heard this. Yuan Qing laughed and said with a twinkle in his eye: "I dare to ask Brother Wang, what is good and what is evil?"
Wang Qing drank the wine from the bowl in one gulp and said loudly: "Those who follow me are good, and those who go against me are evil!"
Zhu Ling'er's brows tightened and she couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother should be saying, 'Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish', right?"
Wang Qing glanced at Zhu Ling'er and laughed: "Wang was a hunter before he entered Taoism. He hunted snakes, insects, rats, and rabbits with his father all day long to make up for the family income. Wang is evil to these animals in the mountains, but he loves the people of the Wang clan. , I am good.”
He stopped, drank another bowl, and continued: "There are jackals and spotted deer in the forest. If a wolf hunts a deer for food, it is a good thing for its offspring; if a deer dies in the wolf's mouth, it is a good thing for the deer. Evil. There are countless examples like this. In the final analysis, isn’t it true that ‘those who follow me are good, and those who go against me are evil’?”
Yuan Qing fell into deep thought, and Zhu Ling'er thought for a moment and then asked: "What about picking up gold and helping others?"
"Hahaha, worldly good and evil are just things used to restrain people's hearts and tame the people. Don't you think that one general will make all bones dry? We cultivators are meant to seize opportunities from heaven and earth to support ourselves, compete with heaven and earth, When fighting with others, where does all that hypocrisy come from!"
Zhu Ling'er wanted to argue, but after thinking for a moment, she was speechless.
Seeing that both of them were silent and the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Wang Qing laughed and said, "This is all Wang's drunken nonsense and cannot be taken seriously."
After saying that, he poured another bowl of red flame wine for Yuan Qing, then he also picked up the sea bowl and said, "Come on, brother, let's drink!"
Yuan Qing tried his best to smile, imitating Wang Qing, and drank the whole drink in one gulp. Then the two of them exchanged glasses for several rounds, and drank the entire jar of wine before stopping. However, Yuan Qing was always preoccupied and could not enjoy himself to the fullest. Zhu Ling'er didn't say a word the whole time, her eyes were filled with mist, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Qing's body flashed red and he woke up from his drunkenness. He stood up and cupped his hands to Yuan Qing and said, "It's getting late. I still have some mundane things to do, so I'll take my leave."
Yuan Qing's body flashed with silver light, he also stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Senior brother, it's good to go."
Wang Qing turned to look at Zhu Ling'er, who said lightly: "I'm going back to chant sutras too."
Yuan Qing's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he took a deep look at Zhu Ling'er, but said nothing.
When the three of them came outside, Wang Qing suddenly turned around and said sternly to Yuan Qing: "Brother, I said some nonsense under the influence of wine today. Junior brother, please don't take it to heart. We monks and other monks should have a strong Taoist heart." , overcoming thorns and thorns, moving forward indomitably!”
Yuan Qing bowed and replied sincerely: "Yuan Qing has learned a lesson."
Wang Qing nodded and was about to carry the weapon, but he heard Yuan Qing say: "Junior brother, I have an unkind request. I wonder if senior brother can leave a jar of red flame wine? Yuan is willing to exchange it for peach fairy wine."
Wang Qing laughed, took out a jar of red flame wine, and Yuan Qing turned into a ray of fire and flew away through the air. Halfway through the journey, his rough voice came: "You'd better keep the wine to yourself!"
Before the words were spoken, the person had disappeared into the horizon.
On the other side, Zhu Ling'er looked at Yuan Qing and said softly: "I'm leaving."
Yuan Qing looked at the beauty in front of him and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Zhu Ling'er looked at his stupid look, chuckled, and secretly said "idiot", and then Yulian turned slightly and disappeared into a blue light.
Yuan Qing stared blankly at the direction in which it flew away, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses. With a long sigh, he shook his head, walked to the lake, took out the green gourd, and poured all the peach fairy wine in it into the lake. Then he took out the small jar of red flame wine, patted the sealing mud open, and made a secret in his hand. I saw a flash of green light from the gourd, sucking all the wine into its belly like a whale sucking water.
He thought for a while, but instead of putting it in the storage bag, he hung the gourd on his waist with a flash of blue light. After finishing all this, I was about to go back to the house, when suddenly a blue light flashed in the sky, and it was Zhu Ling'er who left and returned.
"Ling'er!" Yuan Qing shouted from a distance.
Zhu Ling'er did not lower her magic weapon, but said in mid-air: "Yuan Qing, do you still remember your original intention?"
"Original intention?" Yuan Qing was stunned and was about to answer when he saw Zhu Ling'er transform into a rainbow light and disappear without a trace in a few flashes.
"Original intention..." Yuan Qing lowered his head and thought as he walked to the halfway point of the bridge and looked at the lake and mountains in front of him. He stood blankly on the spot for a moment.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already the moon in the sky. The moonlight is diffuse, pouring on the mirror-like lake, reflecting a figure standing quietly.
Suddenly the figure's body glowed with silver light, and then the sword energy surged, and a "boom" sound stirred up thousands of waves of water.
Looking at the moonlight in the sky, Yuan Qing smiled slightly and whispered softly: "The wanderer on the mountain has a clear heart and sees the true nature. He can choose and leave with a single thought. Good and evil are in harmony with his original mind. He can use the three-foot sword of pleasure to control his life and death!"
