Chapter 29: Japanese Wine

Chapter 29: Thousand Days of Wine (Thanks to the leader of "Rain and Star Reflection") This wine is like fruit wine. Apart from the spiritual liquid condensed from the essence of the sun and the moon, the remaining taste does not have a strong smell of alcohol. Instead, it is more of the aroma of fermented fruit, which makes people feel subjectively sweet. "This is a wine brewed by the spirits in the mountains using kiwi fruit as the main ingredient and fruits from exotic plants. It is called Thousand Day Wine." "Why is it called Thousand Days Wine?" "There is a legend about the Thousand Days Wine in the village at the foot of the mountain." The old Taoist priest beside him sat cross-legged and said leisurely, "It is said that a woodcutter from the foot of the mountain went up the mountain to chop wood and rested under a big old tree on the mountain. He had no intention of chopping down the old tree, and he couldn't chop it down. He just didn't want to use the axe, so he chopped the tree with the knife, hoping to embed the knife in it. But he didn't expect that when he chopped it down, the inside was not solid, but green wine kept oozing out. This wine has spiritual energy in it. Anyone who smells the taste of this wine can't help it, so he took a sip and got drunk immediately. He didn't wake up until three years later." The old Taoist paused and said, "Later, the legend of the Thousand Day Wine spread down the mountain. I never expected that the monsters in the mountain actually used this name." "So this is the thousand-day wine." Lin Jue was stunned, fortunately he didn't drink it. "Are you practicing cultivation?" "Master, I have learned the method of nourishing qi."

"Then remember to drink slowly, use your breathing method to absorb the spiritual energy and guide it into your body, don't let it dissipate freely." The old Taoist said, "This wine itself is not ordinary. Now Shanjun has added the essence of the sun and the moon that he has collected. For ordinary people to drink it, strengthening their bodies is just the basics, and prolonging their lives is not a big deal. For ordinary warriors, most of them can reach a higher level. For those who practice Taoism, it can also be of great benefit to those who are just starting to cultivate their qi and transform their spirits." "Thanks for the advice." The old Taoist smiled slightly and did not respond. He turned to the girl beside him and said, "Drink less. Just drink. I will help you." "Thank you, Master." The girl also said this, very respectfully. The sky darkened rapidly, and the firelight illuminated the top of the mountain. After the Thousand Days Wine was distributed, the mountain king at the top raised his glass, but he didn't toast to anyone, he just took a sip first. This was like a signal. Upon seeing this, the other monsters could no longer suppress their instinctive desires. They hurriedly lowered their heads and used various methods to drink up the wine in the bamboo cup. Some even swallowed the bamboo cup and the wine in one gulp without spitting out anything. Lin Jue is very gentle. I picked up the bamboo cup and took a sip first, feeling the unusual fragrance. It made me feel refreshed, as if my nose, chest and abdomen were all washed. Then I followed the old Taoist's instructions and took a cautious sip. It is indeed sweet, with a fruity fragrance, but not as sweet as it smells. The smell of alcohol is still not strong. But immediately following, a pure spiritual aura dissipated in the body, as if it had turned into air, filling every part from the mouth to the throat to the stomach, and there was a feeling of spreading everywhere. "!" What a pure aura. Lin Jue was just an ordinary person who had just started to practice the method of nourishing qi, comprehending the spiritual charm of heaven and earth and absorbing the five qi from the four directions. He probably couldn't even get started, but he had never seen such spiritual charm. No wonder the monsters are obsessed with it. However, Lin Jue did not dare to think too much at this moment, and hurriedly followed the old Taoist's instructions. He took a deep breath and guided it into his body, just like he usually did when meditating. This prevented the spiritual energy from continuing to dissipate and escape from the seven orifices and even the pores of the body, and also stored it properly. This kind of spiritual charm is different from the elusive five elements. Lin Jue can clearly feel their existence. "Tsk..."

Lin Jue took another sip. Because the alcohol content was very low, it could make people drunk for a thousand days and keep them alive for a thousand days. I thought it couldn't be due to the alcohol. Coupled with the refreshing fruity flavor, even if you ignore the special charm it contains, the wine still tastes great. At the same time, he could feel the gazes from all around him. Those were the spirits who had finished their Thousand Days Wine. Seeing that he had not finished yet, they cast their gazes over involuntarily, with desire and greed in their eyes. With so many monsters in such an occasion, when the sun has already set, these gazes are enough to scare anyone. However, Lin Jue knew the deterrent power of the mountain king at this time, so he was not afraid at all. He even felt that he had walked into the strange stories he had heard before. There was a touch of wonder in his heart, and he felt more relaxed while tasting the Thousand Days Wine. The tiger in front waved his hand, and another macaque opened the wine jar. It still contained the Thousand Days Wine, which was distributed to everyone to drink, but the tiger's unique essence of the sun and the moon was no longer added. The sky was dim, the clouds burned to ashes, leaving only a dreamlike gradient of colors on the horizon. It was difficult to describe the beauty of these colors. On the top of this mountain, the firewood pile was still burning, reflecting the shadows of many monsters, reflected in many different eyes. The tiger, feeling a little drunk, took out a book. "This is the Yin-Yang Dao that I spent a lot of treasures to get from Mount Qiyun. It is just right for fairies like us! You are all fairies created by the Yin-Yang Qi. With this, if you can understand it, you don't have to absorb the Yin-Yang Qi by instinct! Most of you have known me for a long time, and you all know that I am generous. I will share any good things with you. Besides, we fairies have a hard time. Since you are all here today, I will take out the first chapter for everyone to study together!" After hearing this, the monsters shifted their gaze away from Lin Jue who was tasting the wine and turned to look at the tiger, their eyes still sparkling. "I will read this to you: "The sky creates five elements, the earth bears yin and yang, day and night change, and the four seasons cycle, all of which are the way of yin and yang... "... "Yang is dynamic, Yin is static. Yang is strong, Yin is soft. Without Yang, nothing can be created, without Yin, nothing can be transformed. With the interaction of Yin and Yang, all things are born and grow... "..." All the monsters had their eyes open, and I don’t know if it was because of the reflection of the fire in the middle, or because they were already bright, but they were staring at the tiger without blinking. Every goblin was trying their best to listen carefully. Sometimes some of them would scratch their ears and cheeks anxiously because they didn't understand, but they didn't dare to be absent-minded or forget a single word, just like the best students in the world. So much so that there was no sound at the top of the mountain except the sound of wind, fire and the mountain king chanting. Lin Jue was among them and undoubtedly felt the extreme studious nature of these monsters. It was an ultimate yearning and thirst for knowledge and the great truth. Of course, Lin Jue also listened carefully. This is about the principle of yin and yang. That is to say, it talks about the essence of the yin and yang energy of heaven and earth. It was just one chapter, and Tiger finished reading it quickly. Until the last word of his voice fell, the scene was still silent, and no one added more wood to the fire when it was almost burned out. Many spirits sat there motionless, waiting, eager to learn, and refused to look away until the mountain king put down the scripture. After a long time, perhaps realizing that there was really nothing behind them, they reluctantly lowered their heads. And all of this is actually based on the fact that most of them didn't understand. How many students in the world down the mountain can match them? Lin Jue seemed to be shocked for a moment.
