Chapter 27



Su Yishui glanced at the talisman wrapped around the crow's feet. It was obvious that someone was controlling the bird to come and find out their identities.

So he said, "I am from Su Yishui, West Mountain, and I have come to visit the Wine Immortal."

When the crow heard Su Yishui's name, it suddenly jumped up and flapped its wings, saying, "You idiot Su Yishui, I won't see you!"

Qin Xuanjiu listened to this and immediately admired this old wine immortal whom he had never met before. At least they had the same opinion and didn't like the man named Su.

Su Yishui was not annoyed. He quickly reached out his hand and somehow grabbed the crow's neck. Then he took out the Water Magic Talisman he had copied and placed it in front of Niao'er, saying, "I got this from a woman who practices the art of warding off beasts. I want to ask you, sir, do you know where it came from?"

After seeing the talisman, the bird's eyes suddenly widened several times, and it struggled to break away from Su Yishui's hand, and asked in a sharp voice: "How is it possible? There is actually someone who knows this..."

It can be seen that the person controlling the bird is very conflicted. The crow landed on the scarecrow's back again, pacing back and forth anxiously, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, you guys come to the thatched cottage on the mountain."

So Su Yishui and others, led by the crow, climbed up the mountain.

The mountain road of Cuiwei Mountain is really steep, and it can be seen that few people come here. If it were in the past, Ranran would definitely not be able to climb up. Fortunately, her light body skills have become more and more proficient. With a light tap of her toes, she can jump forward on the steep slope like a deer.

When Gao Cang and Bai Baishan were at Xishan, they were punished from time to time by their master. Their legs and feet, which had been trained with sandbags, were very light, so Xier suffered a lot. She couldn't go on after climbing halfway and had to stay at the foot of the mountain waiting for them to come down.

The mountain became steeper and steeper, and Qin Xuanjiu, Yuchen, Senior Brother and Bai Baishan could not go up any further, so they could only stay where they were and wait.

In the end, only Su Yishui and Ranran climbed up the mountain.

In fact, Ran Ran had long wanted to give up climbing. It wasn't because she was tired, but because she thought it would be nice to stay with her fellow brothers, drink some of the drinks they brought with them, eat some of the dried meat and pancakes they brought with them, and enjoy the scenery.

However, the master would not let her stop. In the end, he even held her waist and led her all the way, and soon they reached the top of the mountain.

The top of Cuiwei Mountain is also lush and green. Next to the simple thatched cottage, there are several granaries that appear to be filled with sweet potatoes and wheat.

The air was filled with the fragrance of sweet potato wine, and a short old man was turning over the ingredients for brewing wine in front of a wine pool.

Seeing the newcomer, the old man with a red nose snorted, "I was wondering why another bottle of wine was spoiled today? It turns out that the star of death has come!"

Su Yishui didn't mind the old man's weird temper. He just stood in the courtyard, waiting for the Drunken Immortal to come over and talk.

The old wine fairy didn't seem to know Su Yishui. He smashed the bad wine jar angrily, then walked over with his bow legs and looked Su Yishui up and down: "You look quite decent! No wonder you bewitched Miss Mu and caused her so much trouble!"

It seemed that the old man was an old friend of Mu Qingge, and he had great hostility towards Su Yishui, the traitor. Then he looked at Xue Ranran without any courtesy, and said in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

When Ranran bowed and whispered that he was Su Yishui's disciple, Jiu Laoxian's eyes rolled up.

"What can you learn from someone who betrays his teacher and ancestors? Little girl, you have gone astray at such a young age!"

Ran Ran didn't know how to respond, so she could only pretend to look around the house and then slipped away to the side.

Su Yishui seemed to know the old man's strange character and did not argue with him. He just took out the rubbing of the rune and said, "The old man seems to recognize this rune. Can you tell me its origin?"

The Drunken Immortal circled around him for a few times before reaching out to take the talisman. He looked at it carefully again and again. It was hard to tell whether he was nervous or excited on his face. He just smiled so hard that he seemed to be about to get a stitch in the side: "Back then, girl Mu tried her best to seal the hole in the spiritual spring of the underworld. But in the mouths of those righteous people, it became her who brought disaster to the world! A shit pot was firmly tied on her. It's really like 'after collecting honey from hundreds of flowers, who is the one who suffers and enjoys the sweetness'! But your retribution came so quickly! Don't you claim to be righteous? I wonder if there is anyone as stupid as girl Mu who will try her best for you when the underworld opens its mouth this time! Hahahaha..."

He laughed maliciously and happily, but his words made Ran Ran, who was standing beside him, a little dumbfounded.

According to what the old man said, was Mu Qingge a good person in the past? Was there something else behind her breaking into the spiritual spring and releasing the demon?

But seeing him mocking his master, as a disciple, he had to defend his master: "Old sir, what you said is wrong. If it is really like what you said, when the yin and yang are in chaos, who can stay out of it? How can you live in seclusion in this mountain and brew wine? Besides... the wine you brew is not right! So much food is wasted in vain!"

Jiu Laoxian is the younger brother of the powerful Yao Laoxian who ascended to heaven a long time ago. Just because of his love for wine, he greatly delayed the progress of cultivation. Until now, he has lived for 200 years but is still just one step away from achieving the right result.

The old immortal had no interest in the first half of what the little girl said, but her last remark, "the wine was not brewed correctly", really touched the old immortal's ribs.

He boasted that he had drunk all the famous wines in the world and that he could not only taste them but also brew them. So how come this young girl actually said that he brewed the wine incorrectly?

The old immortal jumped up immediately, his white beard waving as he asked angrily, "What's wrong? If you can't explain it, I'll beat you off the mountain with a stick!"

Ranran was extremely bored just now, and when he smelled the wine in the broken wine jar on the ground, he picked up a piece and took a sip.

As soon as she took a sip, she immediately knew that this wine... should be a close imitation of the strong liquor in the book "Playing Guide" - "Mi Tian Xian".

It’s just that during brewing, the timing of adding the ingredients was wrong and the fermentation temperature was wrong, so the taste was off.

In fact, this wine is not bad to drink, but Ran Ran tasted the "Mistaken Fairy" that he brewed by imitating the recipe, so naturally he felt it was extremely unpalatable.

Ranran glanced at his master, weighed the pros and cons, and felt that it was more urgent to resolve the issue of the water demon.

So she asked Yao Laoxian quietly if he wanted to brew "Mistake Tianxian". The old man widened his eyes in surprise, looked her up and down, and asked: "Why? Have you heard of this wine?"

Ranran nodded, lowered his head, took off the wine gourd beside him, and handed it to the Jiu Laoxian.

This was the last bit of "Mistaken Fairy" she brought with her. The rest was drunk by her fellow practitioners when they were keeping watch by the Wangxiang River.

The old wine expert was skeptical at first, but as soon as he opened the lid of the wine bottle, a strong aroma of wine hit his nose, which immediately aroused his thirst for wine.

The old immortal did not care whether the wine was poisonous or not, he took a sip right away, and after tasting it, the eyes hidden in the folds emitted a sharp light, he quickly tilted his neck back and took several big gulps.

In just a few gulps, he drank all the wine. He smacked his lips, still not satisfied, and asked, "Little girl, how can you have such an authentic 'mistaken fairy'?"

Ran Ran replied honestly: "I brewed it. If you like, I can help you brew some more."

After hearing this, Jiu Laoxian jumped away again: "Nonsense! Nonsense! Only Mu Qingge can brew this wine. How can a little girl like you know how to brew it?"

Ran Ran felt that he was a little drunk, so she carefully hid behind her master, half revealing her face, and whispered, "It's not some immortality elixir, it's just wine, why can't I brew it?"

This made the old man jump up in frustration again. It was this wine that made him never forget it after he had tasted it once. However, he had spent twenty years of hard work and research, but he just couldn't produce that flavor.

Now a young girl actually spoke to him in such a contemptuous tone, as if the wine was ordinary well water. Wasn't she mocking his stupidity?

But after dancing for a while, the ecstasy wine taste lingered on the tip of the tongue. How could a few sips be enough to satisfy the craving? The old wine fairy stopped dancing, stretched his neck and asked attentively behind Su Yishui: "Little girl, I didn't taste the taste just now, can you give me another pot to taste."

Ran Ran hid behind his master and refused to come out, saying sullenly, "No more, but if you tell me the origin of the talisman from my master, I will brew a jar for you."

Jiu Laoxian stared at Su Yishui with a frown on his face, and said in a bad tone: "I heard that you saved Mu Qingge and led her soul to the tree?"

Su Yishui nodded and said calmly: "She has landed safely and reincarnated."

Jiu Laoxian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and immediately believed it. It was as if this person had been in seclusion for too long and had forgotten that people would cheat each other, revealing the innocence of a child.

Jiu Laoxian was thinking in his mind: he and Mu Qingge were old friends who met over wine. If Mu Qingge died at the hands of this kid, he would rather die than make a deal with this kid.

However, since Mu Qingge was still alive, his small deal with Su Yishui would not be considered as betraying the friendship in the wine cup.

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his drunkenness, and said with full energy: "As long as you teach me how to brew wine, I will tell you everything I know about this spell."

However, brewing wine is not a matter of one day or one night. Even if the temperature and humidity are suitable, it will take at least seven days.

Ran Ran said that it would take a long time, but the master's business could not be delayed, so when he asked Jiu Laoxian to speak first, Jiu Laoxian laughed triumphantly and brought out a bone china wine jar like a treasure. The wine jar was covered with mysterious talismans.

According to the Jiu Laoxian, one day in heaven is one year on earth, and his wine jar also transcends time. One day outside the jar is one year inside.

However, this kind of divine power that distorts time consumes the most spiritual energy. The talismans in the full jar actually condensed half of the spiritual power of the Drunken Immortal.

With such absurd and unconventional practices, it is no wonder that his brother, Medicine Immortal, ascended to heaven early, while Wine Immortal is still hiding in Cuiwei Mountain, planting sweet potatoes to make wine.

Ranran thought, being so idle... he was really like her former master!
