Chapter 152 Peach Blossom
In this world full of dangers, Gao Xian encountered for the first time a cultivator who wanted to drink with him as soon as they met.
On the other hand, Gao Xian really liked Yun Qiu Shui's carefree and relaxed attitude.
He lives cautiously in this world and dares not take a wrong step.
Because of this, he particularly likes Zhou Yuling's liveliness and cuteness.
This is exactly what he doesn't have, and it is also the beautiful color that the world lacks.
Faced with Yun Qiu Shui's invitation, Gao Xian did not think too long and agreed readily.
"Since you are in the mood for a drink, I am happy to accompany you."
Yun Qiu Shui was very happy. He took the initiative to invite Gao Xian to drink, because the two lines of poetry were really touching.
The second is Gao Xian, wearing a blue robe and holding a sword, standing alone by the river. His back reveals a deep melancholy and loneliness, and he has an extraordinary and strange charm.
If Gao Xian was hesitant and timid, he would no longer be interested in talking to Gao Xian.
Yun Qiushui said with a big smile: "We won't go home until we are drunk today."
Yun Qiu Shui brought Gao Xian to the busiest street in Dajiangfang. At this time, all the hotels and wine shops were closed and everywhere was dark.
As soon as Yun Qiu Shui saw the red light on the gate of Liuxiang Tower, he went over and knocked loudly.
Gao Xian, who was following behind, looked a little strange. How could they drink wine when they first met? When he was in Feimaji, he often went to Feihuayuan to hang out, but he just wandered around to see the excitement and enjoy some free performances by beautiful women. He was busy refining pills and practicing in Lianyun City every day, and he didn't have the heart to go out and play.
He has been in this world for four years and has never drunk any wine!
I didn't expect that in this strange place like Dajiangfang, I would be drinking wine with a cultivator whom I met for the first time.
Someone soon came out of Liuxianglou, a middle-aged woman in brightly dressed, accompanied by an old maid.
The middle-aged woman called herself Yan Niang, and was the manager of Liuxianglou. Of course, she said she was the eldest sister, and all the women here were her sisters.
The old maid led the way in front with a lantern, and Yan Niang followed Yun Qiu Shui and introduced everything attentively.
"All the girls here have been instructed by the masters of the Hehuan Sect. They are all proficient in the secrets of Hehuan, and are good at singing, dancing and playing the guitar..."
Yan Niang had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that Yun Qiu Shui was of noble status. Although he spoke quite politely, the reserved and arrogant nature in his bones could not be concealed.
Gao Xian standing next to him was handsome and tall, with a noble demeanor. The robe and sword he wore were all extraordinary. He was also a powerful cultivator.
Compared with Yun Qiu Shui, he lacks the romantic and free-spirited style of a person born into a famous family.
However, Yan Niang did not dare to ignore Gao Xian and praised him from time to time.
Yun Qiu Shui didn't care about Yan Niang's courtesy, he was talking to Gao Xian the whole time.
At the back of the courtyard, we came to a spacious hall filled with countless precious stones, which shone brilliantly but not dazzlingly.
As soon as Gao Xiancai entered the open hall, he felt a cool breeze blowing gently, sweeping away the hot air outside.
Yun Qiushui naturally sat down at the main seat and ordered casually, "Call all the girls out..."
Gao Xian saw Yun Qiushui's skilled appearance, and he was actually an old player! But Yun Qiushui should be less than 20 years old, and he was already a foundation-building cultivator. How could he have time to go out and have fun? You have to know that a place like Liuxianglou not only consumes spirit stones, but also consumes the essence and spirit of cultivators.
The cultivators who play in such places are either hopeless or entertaining people.
Guests of Yun Qiu Shui's age are very rare.
Yun Qiushui was still explaining to Gao Xian: "This place is remote, and I don't think there are any outstanding women here, so don't be surprised, fellow Taoist."
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I have been concentrating on my cultivation, and this is my first time in a place like this. If there is anything wrong, please don't laugh at me, fellow Taoist."
"Hey, don't say that."
Yun Qiushui said disapprovingly: "Fellow Daoist, you are so noble and extraordinary. The women here are just ordinary women. They are just invited here to sing and play the piano to make things lively. Why should we care about them?"
He pulled a yellow gourd from his sleeve and placed it on the table, “Today we will drink peach blossom wine.
"This is the wine brewed by my teacher, with a unique recipe that has been kept for a hundred years. The original peach blossom wine has a soft and light taste, but after a hundred years of sedimentation, this soft taste has become mellow and long-lasting. It is really a good wine..."
Yun Qiu Shui was very particular. He did not use any of the wine vessels on the table and took out two exquisite green and white porcelain bowls from his sleeves.
There are also a few peach buds painted in the wine bowl. When the light pink peach wine is poured into it, the peach buds slowly stretch and open amid the slight ripples, as if they are about to stretch out from the wine bowl.
Gao Xian lived in Zhu Qinnan's house for a year and witnessed the luxurious life of the great monk who had established his foundation. It can be said that all the furnishings were extremely exquisite.
A means of transportation like the Qingluoyu is also an excellent magical instrument.
Yun Qiu Shui's refinement and sophistication far surpass those of the Zhu family.
Not to mention anything else, just this wine gourd and this wine contain rich spiritual energy.
Including two wine bowls, both can change with the wine and are full of charm.
As the aroma of peach blossom wine dissipated, Gao Xian felt refreshed just by smelling it, and his whole body felt refreshed and comfortable.
He was even more surprised. The quality of the wine was better than he expected. It should have reached the level of a second-level spiritual object, or even higher.
I don't know where this Yun Qiushui came from. Why did he just casually invite a stranger to drink such precious spiritual wine? Or was there something in the wine, and the other party was trying to harm him by asking him to drink?
As the saying goes, there is no free benefit in the world.
Gao Xian looked at the red peach wine and couldn't help but hesitate. He thought he was drinking the wine from Liuxianglou, and it was unlikely that such a place would tamper with the wine.
As a result, Yun Qiu Shui directly took out peach blossom wine.
If he doesn't drink, he will look petty. If he drinks, he will be taking a risk on his character.
Gao Xian is cautious by nature, and he won't take risks in such difficult situations.
On the other hand, he and Yun Qiushui met by chance and hit it off right away. Rejecting her would be a waste of this congeniality.
Finally, Yun Qiushui was of an extraordinary status, with a sense of pride in his bones, and he was also a foundation-building cultivator. Even if someone wanted to kill him, they would not use despicable means.
Although Gao Xian was sure that the other party had no ill intentions, he was unwilling to take risks. He thought of the cormorant, a bird that could temporarily store fish in its throat pouch.
He could learn from the cormorants and make a temporary pouch in his throat to store the wine.
The Grandmaster's perfect transformation technique allows Gao Xian to change his body structure and state as he wishes.
It was very easy for him to differentiate a laryngeal sac.
In this case, even if the peach blossom wine is poisonous, it will not be able to enter the internal organs and circulate throughout the body, and will not cause any harm to him.
He also has a rejuvenation technique that can quickly get the body back to peak condition even if something is really wrong.
In this way, you can protect yourself while not offending your friends. It's the best of both worlds.
Gao Xian had already thought of a countermeasure while his mind was turning.
Yun Qiushui had no idea what Gao Xian was thinking. He smiled and raised his bowl to toast Gao Xian: "Fellow Daoist Gao, for those two lines of poetry, we should drink three bowls in a row!"
"good."
Gao Xian raised the bowl to indicate, and drank the bowl of peach blossom wine immediately.
When Yun Qiu Shui saw Gao Xian so happy, his eyes flashed with a little surprise.
On the other hand, he admired Gao Xian's generosity.
There was too much caution and calculation between people. He knew that this was inevitable, but he hated it.
He and Gao Xian met by chance and became acquainted because of a poem, which was very interesting and elegant.
Yun Qiu Shui likes this way of getting to know people and likes this kind of friends.
What he feared most was that Gao Xian would be petty and ruin the carefree and casual relationship between them.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
As a result, Gao Xian's reaction made him very satisfied.
The maid next to them was very considerate. Seeing this, she hurriedly picked up the wine gourd and poured wine for Yun Qiu Shui and Gao Xian.
After drinking three bowls in a row, a peach-like blush appeared on Yun Qiu Shui's white jade-like cheeks, and there was a hint of trance in his star-like eyes.
The peach blossom wine in the eight-treasure gourd is actually three hundred years old.
With his level of cultivation, he couldn't help feeling a little drunk even after drinking three bowls.
Yun Qiu Shui glanced at Gao Xian, but found that Gao Xian's face looked normal, his eyes were shining and he didn't look drunk at all.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Gao Xian could actually withstand such a strong alcohol? Something was wrong? You know, there were many spiritual objects in the peach blossom wine. After three hundred years of fermentation, its spiritual power was so strong that even he couldn't stand it, let alone Gao Xian, a Qigong cultivator.
Yun Qiushui was a little confused. He smiled and raised his wine bowl again to invite Gao Xian to drink with him. "Under the bright moon, beside the great river, you are all alone, floating like an immortal who has left the world. Your demeanor and grace are truly impressive.
"This bowl is for my fellow Taoist."
"What a shame! Thank you for the compliment."
Gao Xian is quite thick-skinned, but he feels a little embarrassed when Yun Qiu Shui praises him like that.
However, this noble young man was really good at talking. Even though he knew that he was just complimenting her casually, Gao Xian was still filled with joy and felt as if he was about to fly.
The two of them drank three bowls in a row. Yun Qiu Shui saw that Gao Xian remained calm, so he knew what was going on.
He was not angry, but felt that Gao Xian was scheming and at the same time able to take care of his friend's face. He was a character! The girls from Liuxianglou came out, and they stood in a row in front of them in their fancy clothes.
Seeing Yun Qiu Shui's gaze sweeping over, the group of beauties either smiled, or exchanged flirtatious glances, or half-covered their faces to act reserved.
There were nearly twenty beauties, each with different styles, which dazzled Gao Xian.
Yun Qiushui glanced at it casually and said, "Everyone stay, arrange singing and dancing, and get some smart and well-behaved people to accompany you drinking..."
Yan Niang was also a little surprised. With such a large group of people staying, each of them would need at least five spirit stones.
Seeing Yun Qiushui's behavior, she didn't dare to say anything. One or two hundred spirit stones were nothing to such a person, and it was not worth worrying about.
Yan Niang immediately clapped her hands, called all the girls over, and assigned them tasks.
Four relatively dignified and elegant women sat on the left and right sides of Yun Qiu Shui and Gao Xian.
They have gentle manners, elegant conversation, are very smart and well-behaved, are skilled in flattery, and can liven up the atmosphere.
Several women nearby were playing the flute, the zither and the piano. Amid the melodious music, a group of women in gorgeous clothes were dancing gracefully.
These women have slim figures and graceful movements, and they perform magic tricks while dancing.
Peach blossoms bloomed out of nowhere, and these women were like butterflies dancing among the peach blossoms, creating a beautiful scene of butterflies competing for beauty.
A woman in white was singing in a clear voice beside them. The tune was lively and light-hearted, full of unbridled and dissolute pleasure.
Gao Xian was very surprised. He often went to Feihua Courtyard to hang out. There were also singing and dancing there, but they were all beautiful women shaking their heads and posing on the high platform, mostly selling their bodies. The songs they sang were also slutty tunes.
The singing and dancing in Liuxianglou are of a very high standard. The magic spells are also very clever, and there are even lighting changes to coordinate.
The stage design and performance level were even better than the large-scale galas he had seen.
Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, no wonder the cultivators liked to come here to play, the demon girls really knew how to have fun!
Especially the singing of the woman in white, her voice is melodious and clear, when her voice is high it seems to reach the sky yet it is wonderful and round, when her voice is low it seems to be faint yet it is continuous, it can really be called beautiful.
Among the crowd of people wearing gorgeous dresses and colorful clothes, the woman was wearing a simple and elegant white dress, which was particularly colorful and impressive.
Gao Xian looked at the singing woman carefully. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he asked the woman beside him, "Who is the singing woman?"
A strange color flashed in the bright eyes of the colorful-clothed woman. She immediately smiled and said softly, "This girl is called Jiao Niang, but she is a famous beauty in my building. Your distinguished guest has good taste..."
Gao Xian thought of a poem from his previous life and recited it casually: "The peach blossoms are light and dark, like evenly applied makeup. They fall like red rain, blowing off white clothes."
"It is a poem that is full of elegance without leaving any trace!"
Yun Qiu Shui was greatly impressed. Gao Xian's poem praised the beauties for their own charm and elegance like red rain, and also pointed out that the singer in white was calm and motionless and her beauty was unique.
This poem is simple yet profound, elegant and interesting.
Yun Qiu Shui laughed and said: "This woman's singing voice is indeed moving, no wonder fellow Taoist likes her.
"It's a good fate to be able to meet this person tonight!"
Gao Xian was very excited, but he couldn't touch Qiniang and Yuling, and he didn't dare touch Huang Ying because she was close to him.
Come out to have fun, and she is a professional, he has fun and she makes money, it's the best of both worlds.
However, he was only tempted for a moment. He had other reasons for liking the woman in white. Besides, he was pure and innocent, devoted to Taoism, and not that kind of person.
He explained: "I am devoted to Taoism and have no such intention."
Yun Qiushui laughed loudly: "The pleasure of men and women is the great way of human beings. For cultivators like us, it is wrong to indulge in lust, but it is also wrong to abstain from lust.
"Go where you should go, stop where you should stop, and relax with one mind. This is the right way!"
Yun Qiushui waved to Yan Niang and said with a smile: "My friend has taken a fancy to this singer, and it is also her good fortune..."
