Penglai Island.
The big apricot trees are covered with pink and white apricot flowers, making Penglai Island look like a gorgeous corolla. The delicate fragrance permeates the entire island, and bluebirds and cranes gather under the trees with blurred eyes. Even the little snakes and phoenixes stopped fighting and sniffed the intoxicating fragrance greedily on the branches.
Immortal apricot took root in the broken soil of the ancient times and evolved into a fairy island, sensing the world with Peng Lai. Its time is not in the island, but in the human world.
Only a hundred days have passed in Penglai, which is equivalent to a hundred years.
It takes a hundred years to bloom, a hundred years to bear fruit, and a hundred years to mature.
The fairy apricot finally blooms.
"The first time the flowers bloomed, the spiritual energy was already so mellow. When the fruit grows, it will not lose to ordinary fairy fruits." Su Qing lightly sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, with a very contented expression.
Not only because the apricot trees are blooming, but also because there is no need to worry about Qianzhou anymore.
Huo Zhenyun and Zhuo Feng stayed on the island for two days and returned to Qianzhou after leaving. Like Tan Han, he had become a disciple of Xiong Ba. They also lost part of their memory and forgot their experience in Penglai.
Under Xiong Ba's training and guidance, he has grown very rapidly in these years.
Of course it's not about martial arts strength or anything like that, but the destiny as a constellation. Not only are Huo Zhenyun and Zhuo Feng's natal stars getting brighter and brighter, but Tan Han's natal star is also gradually returning to its proper position. If this trend continues, it may be possible to die without fate.
The four strange beasts enlightened by the spiritual seal also played their due role, perfectly confusing Dao Dao's attention to Qianzhou.
The places where the four strange beasts are located are extremely secretive. Normally, they would be difficult to discover for decades. However, guided by an inexplicable force, he was found in only two or three years.
In the past ten years, there have been waves of people who have taken advantage of the four strange beasts. Although I haven't succeeded once, I have gradually found some methods. If the current trend continues, it will be a matter of time before they are massacred for treasure.
Su Qing had to use some means to provide some protection for those four guys. Let them live as long as possible so that they can continue their mission as scapegoats.
But overall, the overall situation is pretty good. Su Qing did not intend to intervene anymore, or in other words, he could not step in easily.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
He, an immortal, always passes by and attracts the attention of Heaven more than anyone else. Leave everything to Xiongba and let it develop naturally.
A breeze blew by, and some petals fell.
The little snake bit a piece, sucked it twice, and spat it out. The bluebirds and cranes took it in a decent manner. Although they didn't dislike it like the little snake, they didn't continue. The Luan bird just ignored it and just enjoyed the fragrance of the flowers.
Only the clay boy was really interested in the petals. He carefully picked them up one by one and wrapped them in his clothes.
After accumulating a satisfactory amount, I swung down the mountain with the help of fairy apricot roots and vines, all the way to the edge of the spring.
There is a large rock next to the spring with a deep depression on it. When the female prime minister in red came, the little snake showed how to grind the stone trough.
Ni Boy put the apricot petals into the stone trough and crushed them as much as possible with pebbles. After everything turned into a mud lake, I found a big leaf, nested it, filled it with spring water, and poured it into the stone trough.
"Is this going to make wine?" Su Qing saw it.
The spring water has been further improved since the whitebait was raised. There is no obvious change in the spiritual energy. The key is that the spring water "comes alive". Such spring water is naturally more suitable for brewing wine than before.
Su Qing's focus is not on making wine, but on the clay boy itself.
Using the spiritual roots of Penglai soil as the body's muscles and bones, one would not behave like this without any reason. Deciding to make wine at this time when the flowers are blooming must have been guided by something.
Su Qing pointed a finger, and the fairy light covered the stone trough.
"The spring water has changed, and the apricot trees have bloomed. But trying to make good wine like this is too simplistic."
Su Qing's heart moves according to circumstances and she won't delve into it deliberately. Since Mud Boy is interested, he can help with a little effort.
Under the shroud of fairy light, the mud lake of petals turned into drops of liquid, which merged with the spring water to produce many ethereal mist. After a few breaths, a scent of wine wafted out.
The rough stone trough gradually became different.
The edges became smoother little by little, and the edges seemed to be smoothed by something. As the fog dissipated, it turned into a small wine jar.
The clay boy walked over, knelt down and sniffed, dipped some grass blades into his mouth and sucked on it. A look of satisfaction and joy appeared on his face, then he fell down with a thud, and fell asleep with a flushed face.
"Hiss..."
The little snake became aware of it on the mountain.
I was sniffing the fragrance of flowers intoxicatedly on the tree, but suddenly I smelled another smell. He raised his head and turned down the mountain, spit out the core, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It's not that it tastes good, but it's so different. Coupled with the flavor of apricot blossom, it has a very special appeal.
With a swish, he slid down from the branch and rushed down the mountain.
"Hai Xiu..."
Following closely behind were two old cranes.
Since becoming parents and becoming the leaders of the crane group, the two greedy old cranes have been at peace for a long time. But the sudden aroma of wine aroused the silent glutton. With a large group of children, they rushed towards the spring.
The bluebird community has always been relatively quiet, and they only come to admire the almond trees when they bloom. They were a little curious about the smell wafting from the mountain, but it didn't arouse much interest in them.
Luanniao seemed interested, but somewhat reserved. Pretending to be arrogant, he leaned on his neck and looked down the mountain with a somewhat erratic look.
The little snake followed the smell and rushed to the edge of the wine jar. Instead of looking for utensils and tools like the clay boy, it first stretched out the core and licked it, and then plunged its head directly into it.
The two old cranes and their children quickly chased after them, and they couldn't wait to see the little snake like this. The long mouth poked into the wine jar, and after taking a sip, it was difficult to leave.
The clay boy slowly wakes up.
I was still a little confused at first, but when I saw the wine jar being fought over, I instantly became energetic.
He stood up and stretched his neck to see that half of the wine in the jar was gone. Suddenly he jumped up and down and hurried forward to drive away.
It's just that he is not strong enough, and neither snake nor crane can be driven away. He screamed anxiously, as if he was about to cry.
"That's about it for you greedy guys."
Su Qing arrived unexpectedly, drove away the greedy crane, fished out the little snake that was making wine for itself from the jar, and transformed into a stopper to seal the wine jar.
"You can brew apricot blossom wine if you want, but you can't waste this jar." Su Qing looked at Ni Boy, "Are you brewing this wine to give it away?"
The mud boy nodded.
"I know who you want to send away, but you can't leave the island." Su Qing said. "I'll send it for you."
The mud boy gratefully handed over his hands and thanked him.
"But I'm afraid you have to work hard to make more apricot wine." Su Qing glanced at the aggrieved little snakes and cranes, waved his sleeves in front of him, and there were more than a dozen wine jars on the ground.
Su Qing thought for a while and reminded: "You can only use fallen petals, don't make the apricot tree bald."
…
There are snakes in Peng Lai, who like to drink, and also like apricot blossom brew. It is often hidden in a wine vat. It is mistakenly used to brew wine with a snake, but it is actually a snake drink.
