Chapter 260: Cold House Brewing Snow - Spirit Gourd Persimmon Wine Warms the Winter

Around 10am, #Jinlingcheng Wutongshuchengjing# topped the Weibo trending search list, with a picture of the wildly growing Wei and Jin bamboos on Wutong Avenue in Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. Quotes from Shishuo Xinyu appeared on the surface of bamboo joints, and a beautiful internet celebrity dressed in ancient costumes live-streamed picking bamboo leaves to make tea. After the boiling water was poured down, a magical scene appeared: the shadows of the defenders of the Nanjing Defense War in 1937 appeared in the tea.

The live broadcast room was blocked instantly.

"Oh my god, this is truly a mysterious incident, it's definitely not a 50-cent special effect."

“Even 50-cent special effects can’t be that realistic!”

"After Chang'an City and the Imperial Capital, our ancient capital of Six Dynasties, Jinling, has finally seen a strange phenomenon. Families, loved ones, what does this mean?" Many people were very excited.

The fact that the live broadcast room was blocked proves that it is definitely not fake.

Although the live broadcast was blocked quickly, some people still took screenshots, and some people filmed first-hand information on the spot and spread it everywhere, marveling at it.

There is constant heated discussion on major self-media platforms.

There is a metaphysical internet celebrity on DY named "@周易研究院所长", who is a highly respected elder. He posted a video pointing out that the shadows of 480 temples emerging from Xuanwu Lake coincide with the allusion of "Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many towers are in the mist and rain", and received over 2 million likes.

A highly praised reply appeared in the comment section: "The vibration frequency of the bronze bell at Jiming Temple deciphered the Morse code - JAPAN GET OUT!"

"Fuck, is it really that mysterious?" Many people were skeptical. Then an amateur in this field came out and demonstrated how to analyze it. Wow, it was really like that.

Jinling Eye Pedestrian Bridge is the first sightseeing pedestrian bridge on the Yangtze River to win the "Nobel Prize in Bridges" (Arthur Hayden Award). A certain internet celebrity did a rare and serious live broadcast to introduce the seal script of "Wenxin Diaolong" on the steel cable. He spoke in a very literary way. The seal script suddenly reorganized and generated a QR code. Then someone was curious and scanned it with their mobile phone. As a result, they scanned out the remaining pages of Wang Jingwei's prison diary. In just a few days, the video was played over 100 million times, but unfortunately it was forced to be removed from the shelves soon after.

According to a researcher at Station B, a well-known history granny compared the aerial photos of Nanjing in 1936 and found that the outline of the Xinjiekou sinkhole was completely consistent with the secret engineering drawings of the Japanese army at that time. The surge in coin input caused the server to crash.

This kind of phenomenon has become too serious and official intervention is inevitable.

The Jinling Culture and Tourism Bureau urgently issued a notice stating that "a malfunction in the Xuanwu Lake light and shadow show system caused the historical projection", but netizens dug up photos of the relic box of Emperor Wu of Liang salvaged from the bottom of the lake.

A geological institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published a paper on Weibo titled "Research on the Correlation between Geomagnetic Anomalies and Collective Hallucinations", and the comment section was flooded with comments like "Do you believe in dragon veins?"

A private anti-fraud APP pushed a special reminder: "Beware of illegal fundraising in the name of Longmai Investment", but the accompanying picture was a small advertisement for "Wang Dao and Xie An Virtual Currency" that appeared on the poster board of the Presidential Office.

Netizens far away in the imperial capital were also discussing the matter and comparing the strange phenomena in the two places.

Of course, there are also people who don’t believe it and think that it is the internal competition of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau. In order to attract tourists, they use all means, which is simply speechless.

There are also experts in China who have guessed the truth and made pertinent suggestions: "It is recommended to set up a national team to repair dragon veins. At this rate, a holographic map of the Classic of Mountains and Seas can be produced before 2035!"

The strange phenomena in the three places were also spread to the outside world.

A Japanese netizen strongly called for: "The Nanjing anomaly is a radiation mutation. Our Yamato people have never committed such atrocities. We are wronged. We demand international verification. This is caused by nuclear radiation. China conducted nuclear tests in Nanjing City and there was a nuclear leak!"

YouTuber Million Grandma revealed: "The Wang Puppetry documents scanned from the QR code of the steel cable prove that Chiang Kai-shek secretly suppressed the dragon vein. At that time, the dragon vein was weak, but Chiang Kai-shek dug his own foundation, which was extremely stupid."

At the same time, many metaphysical economics have emerged.

For example, the sales of a "cinnabar bracelet of the same style as that for repairing dragon veins" on the banks of the Qinhuai River have skyrocketed, and fortune tellers in the Confucius Temple have collectively switched to using iPads to display "earth vein energy visualization reports."

The earth vein energies were so real that even Li Xiang, an earth vein master, was stunned.

As for the cinnabar bracelet, it didn't exist at all, it was just a gimmick that was forced on people. There are also fake "visions" that are generated by AI. Although they are not realistic enough, they are just for show and to attract attention. Most people can't tell the difference.

Several NJU students also used AI to restore the steel rope seal script in "Wenxin Diaolong" and wrote an SCI paper "Quantum Classical Chinese Deciphering Based on Deep Learning", which was forwarded by an MIT professor.

Metaphysics has once again become popular in the country, and some people have begun to study ancient martial arts, the Book of Changes, Taoist practice, etc.

The master of traditional Chinese martial arts who had bought the mutated "Wu Ling Zhi" elixir from Li Xiang before started to teach his disciples. This person had been immersed in traditional martial arts and Taoist practice for decades, and had mastered the skills himself, making him a great master. Later, when he got Li Xiang's elixir, the legendary true qi immediately grew in his body and condensed into a vortex of true qi.

He thought it was true Qi, but in fact it was spiritual power. The level of spiritual power was one level higher than true Qi. That person's kung fu improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the "innate realm" he had dreamed of day and night before. He also mastered a small spell, the Taoist "Palm Thunder", and was actually a lightning master.

He also looked ten years younger, and the reason why he looked so obvious was because he was already old. People like Li Xiang, Luo Feifei, and Jiang Caier were handsome men and beautiful women, and their looks were at the peak of their lives, especially Luo Feifei and Jiang Caier, who were only sixteen or seventeen years old, so it was impossible for them to become six or seven-year-old children, right? So it was not surprising that Li Xiang and the others did not change much.

They simply became more handsome and beautiful.

This great master was highly sought after because of his miraculous "Palm Thunder" Kung Fu, and he recruited five to six hundred apprentices. However, without the support of "magic medicine" and "supernatural particles", those apprentices were destined to not make any progress within nine years.

Unless one has an excellent character and talent, can endure loneliness, study hard, and wait until the end of the world, one can "accumulate a lot and then make a breakthrough."

Those who practice traditional martial arts and Taoist kung fu will have more advantages than ordinary people after the emergence of mysterious particles.

When strange phenomena occurred in Jinling City and the whole network was discussing it, Li Xiang had already hugged the little beauty, boarded the sea-walking whale boat, sneaked in the Yangtze River, went upstream, and returned to Sichuan Province.

Lijia Village is only about 40 to 50 kilometers away from the Yangtze River. When the two men arrived nearby, they burrowed into the ground and returned home quietly.

When you sneak along the Yangtze River, you will see the boundless beauty of nature.

Li Xiang: "It's just that the undercurrent in the Yangtze River is not strong enough, and the intensity of the boat earthquake is a little weak. Next time we will go to the sea for an earthquake."

"Brother, you are so perverted~" Jiang Caier's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

However, good times are short and Jiang Caier's vacation soon ended. Li Xiang sent her to school and said goodbye to her reluctantly at the school gate.

Due to the continuous rain and snow, the two did not drive. It was not convenient to walk on the road in broad daylight before, but now Li Xiang can burrow underground, and after the upgrade of "Dishu Yanshilu", he can reach 400 to 500 kilometers in an hour. Going directly underground, the distance of about 18 kilometers can be completed in two or three minutes.

Jiang Caier had a red space gem ring, so she didn't need to carry any luggage and walked into the school leisurely.

Li Xiang had been hanging out outside for many days, and after returning home he devoted himself to practicing.

Repairing dragon veins is actually hard work, which is equivalent to a surgeon in a large hospital performing a high-intensity operation lasting eight or nine hours on a patient. The surgeon is not an extraordinary person, but Li Xiang's operation is also incomparable to ordinary operations.

The benefits of repairing three god-level spiritual veins in a row for Li Xiang's own training were obvious. He felt the spiritual power in his body surging, powerful and unparalleled, and was close to the upper limit of the eighth level, and was about to break through.

He applied the "hold back" technique he had learned before to resolve this impulse and continue to digest what he had gained this time.

Of course, he did not delay his farm work after returning. He tidied up the vegetable garden like a work of art, cleared out some empty vegetable plots, and replanted cabbage, radish, baby vegetables, lettuce, spinach, coriander, etc., all of which are cold-resistant vegetables. In the greenhouse, fires were lit every day for heating, and the temperature was always well controlled.

The snow in the yard was also swept clean. It was still dark when he was sweeping the snow. He turned two large rocks into two stone shovels and used the Earth Pivot to manipulate the stone shovels, back and forth, left and right. It was very convenient and could also hone his skills in using spiritual power and supernatural powers, and even practice the martial arts of the giant shovel.

It was a rare sunny day. When I got up in the morning, the warm winter sun shone obliquely on the roof. The icicles under the eaves reflected fine golden light. Occasionally, at the right angle, a colorful rainbow would be reflected on the wall or the ground. The kittens came over and caught these rainbows and had a lot of fun.

The gourds and persimmons in the backyard are ripe. Li Xiang picked all the usable gourds and planned to make wine gourds and ladles, and peeled the persimmons and made persimmon cakes.

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui all came over to help, and it was a lively and lively occasion with everyone together.

"Brother Xiang, let me try." Yao Yao wanted to make a wine gourd by herself, so Li Xiang taught her the key points. For example, when choosing a gourd, you should choose one that is highly mature, has a hard and undamaged skin, and has a round bottom. You should give priority to keeping the stem and the dragon head.

What tools and techniques should be used to remove the seeds cleanly?

"I'm good at this, brother, watch me." Yao Yao giggled and immediately pointed at her breasts. A little Yao Yao the size of a thumb jumped out from her chest.

Although she can now create clones with a height of about ten centimeters, she can naturally create smaller ones, such as those around two or three centimeters, or even around one centimeter.

"Let little Yaoyao go in and take out the seeds. I promise to clean them thoroughly for you!" As Yaoyao spoke, little Thumbelina Yaoyao crawled into the small gourd and started to do the "meticulous" work inside.

Li Xiang gave a thumbs up: "Great!"

Not only is he powerful, but Yao Yao is also smart and flexible, and knows how to apply what he has learned. Although the clone is small, it is just right for this job.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui opened their eyes wide and thought, is this possible?

The two of them didn't have such a little helper, but they also learned very hard. Zhao Xueqing materialized a vine, stretched the vine into the mouth of the gourd and stirred it around, and was able to clean it out, but it took longer than Yao Yao.

Only Lei Xiaohui's special ability is not suitable for this scenario, but Zhao Xueqing has a good relationship with her and will naturally help her.

Finally, the three girls each made a wine gourd. The scheming Yao Yao even secretly engraved her name on the mouth of the gourd with a knife, thinking happily that in the future, when Brother Xiang drinks, he will kiss her name. Every time he drinks, he will think of her.

Then, she stood up and stuffed the wine gourd into Li Xiang's arms. Her fingertips seemed to brush Li Xiang's wrist. As a result, she caught a quick glance and found that Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui had also secretly carved their names on the gourd.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What a scheming girl. She thinks the same thing as me." Yao Yao was speechless.

There is strength in numbers, and they were very quick and finished processing 18 wine gourds and 32 ladles in one morning.

There is more processing involved with the wine gourd, which needs to be hung under a corridor in the shade until it is 70% dry before being processed. However, the subsequent work is relatively simple.

In the afternoon they started picking persimmons and making persimmon cakes.

Grandma was chatting with the villagers in the front and there was no one in the backyard, so Li Xiang used his special ability, biubiubiu~, and when he raised his hand, the icy sword energy shot out, and the persimmons fell to the ground, comparable to the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

It is much more convenient than using a hook before.

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui each held a cloth bag and caught it from below. They were agile and had beautiful curves, which made them a beautiful sight.

The three of them stood in a V-shape. Even if Li Xiang's icy sword energy was very fast, the three of them could still catch it. It must be said that the strength of the three of them increased very quickly.

"It's like playing tennis. You just shoot and we just receive." Yao Yao said with a sweet smile.

When these words came out, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui both blushed and rolled their eyes, thinking that Yao Yao was really a wanton person, saying anything without restraint. Was she doing it on purpose? Or was she doing it on purpose?

They glanced at Li Xiang and saw that he was also a little embarrassed. It was obvious that they all thought the same thing.

Yao Yao chuckled: "What are you thinking about? It's so dirty!"

Oh my god! Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui immediately spat out blood. What kind of person is this? He said dirty words himself and then made the first accusation, saying that we have dirty thoughts.

"I'm speeding up, don't let the persimmon fall!" Li Xiang changed the subject, and the icy sword energy shot out, three or four points more agile than before.

"Brother, hurry up, faster!" Yao Yao shouted loudly.

Li Xiang: “…”

Zhao Xueqing: “…”

Lei Xiaohui: “…”

"Oh, stop imagining things. I'm talking about the normal...shooting rate." Yao Yao giggled, feeling like she couldn't keep trying to justify herself.

In fact, Li Xiang's Ice Sword Qi is much more powerful than the Six Meridians Divine Sword. The Six Meridians Divine Sword is just a common martial art, while his is an extraordinary power, and it is only the first form at present, so there is still a lot of room for subsequent upgrades. However, his achievement points are limited, so he does not have the spare time to improve the attributes of this power for the time being.

He has an earth-attribute physique, and also has a bit of ice attribute, a little but not much, so the focus is not on this aspect.

In addition to the "Dishu Yanshi Lu", Li Xiang has a special liking for "huge strength" and "divine speed". There shouldn't be many men who can resist the pursuit of "strength" and "speed", right? Li Xiang currently only has a huge strength of 110,000 pounds and a top speed of 5.5 Mach, which feels far from enough. He thought that there are some large bat caves in the United States, which are excellent places to harvest achievement points, but there are too many things to do at the end of the year, and he probably won't have time to go there for the time being.

Because the fragrant rice in Thailand has not been harvested yet, and he also thinks that Thailand, Vietnam and other places should also have special geological veins. It would be a shame if he didn't take the opportunity to explore them at such a close distance.

"Brother, I have recently researched a recipe for persimmon wine. Do you want to try it?" After harvesting the persimmons and peeling them, Yao Yaohao moved his wrist lightly, and the fruit knife in his hand spun out orange-red flowers on the persimmon skin.

Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Why didn't they think of this? With so many persimmons, they couldn't finish eating them even if they were made into persimmon cakes. But Brother Xiang loved wine, so if they made persimmon wine with a unique flavor, it would definitely please Brother Xiang. The two looked at each other and thought that Yao Yao had the upper hand again this time, but they were not discouraged. There was still a long way to go, and they would win back sooner or later.

Li Xiang was naturally moved and immediately praised, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Xueqing and Xiaohui can also go and help if they are free. During the New Year, we will drink persimmon wine."

"I'll do it, brother, don't worry." Yao Yao was immediately excited. If the wine is good, she also plans to launch this wine in the Guofeng Tavern in the future.

When spring comes and flowers bloom, the business here will surely be better than last year, because there are now five giant pandas. These five giant pandas alone are a guarantee of traffic to the scenic spot.

I heard that Tuantuan and Yuanyuan are very loving and affectionate these days. I wonder if Yuanyuan is pregnant. If she is, and she gives birth to a baby panda next year, it will attract even more tourists.

We have seen many giant pandas, but have you ever seen a pregnant panda? Have you ever seen a panda baby that was just born?

I wonder how many people are interested.

Since we were going to make persimmon wine, we only made more than 60 kilograms of persimmon cakes. This is because although persimmon cakes are delicious, not many people eat them, and eating too much can easily cause kidney stones.

Brewing persimmon wine is a relatively long process and cannot be completed in two or three days.

They just select persimmons to remove the astringency these days. They select fresh persimmons with a maturity of more than 80%, wash them, light the stove, and steam them at high temperature for 20 minutes to decompose the tannins. Then they remove the fruit stalks, flower disks and inedible parts, keep the flesh, and crush them to squeeze out the juice.

Li Xiang, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui helped Yao Yao move the processed raw materials to the cellar of the Guofeng Tavern for slow fermentation. The process was complicated and very particular, but Yao Yao had done her homework and was reliable in her daily work, so Li Xiang gave her full authority.

Not only that, Li Xiang also selected more than 100 kilograms of spiritual medicine for Yao Yao and asked her to help brew spiritual wine, and Yao Yao readily agreed.

Zhao Xueqing found an opportunity, and while Yao Yao and Lei Xiaohui were away, she went to meet Li Xiang privately and gave him a gift: "Brother, this is the spiritual dew I have accumulated these days, you can keep it for future use."

Zhao Xueqing was shy after all, so her face turned red after she said this. Because she was quite ashamed. This "spiritual dew" was the juice secreted from the flower bud at the end of her tail. She squeezed it for many days to accumulate 300 milliliters, put it in a small white porcelain bottle with plum branch pattern, and gave it to Li Xiang.

The process of collecting the "spiritual dew" was quite magical. Every time a little spiritual juice oozed out, it felt like plucking the pistil with a silver needle. Recalling that process, she felt a heat in her tailbone, as if the long vine tail was about to pop out again, emitting a tremor that touched the soul.

"It smells so good, like the sweet scent of the crabapple tree, and so full of spiritual energy. Thank you." Li Xiang opened the stopper of the small porcelain bottle, put it under his nose and took a light sniff. The spiritual fragrance was so strong that he couldn't help but praise it.

"Well, later... later... I will try to collect more." Zhao Xueqing felt that she was really useless and really not as open as Yao Yao. She secretly thought that if Yao Yao did this, she would probably say all kinds of flirtatious words. She actually thought of a lot of love words before coming here, but she couldn't say them out loud.
