She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 46: Take a breath, and then turn into a wave

"Senior, this, this, this..."

The lame Taoist was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

Xie Lian actually used this poison to make wine?

This was definitely a choice that surprised him.

"Master, don't be surprised."

Xie Lian shook the gourd and said with a smile.

"The Taoist priest must have seen that this poisonous creature has set its sights on me and is trying to get into my body... It's so vicious, how can I let it go so easily? Let it soak here for now. Don't worry, it won't be killed so easily."

As Xie Lian had said, the poisonous insects were soaked in wine and clearly felt at a loss.

The slender and dense insect legs swayed as if it wanted to struggle, but the more it struggled, the harder it was to float up, and it could only stay in the middle.

Soon, the drug addict could hold it back no longer, opened his mouth, swallowed a lot of wine, and then choked it out.

What followed was a stream of black air.

Although the black gas was not much, it contaminated the wine in an instant, and the entire gourd became pitch black.

The poisonous insect felt dizzy, as if it was drunk. It kept burping and spitting out more and more black air.

I don’t know why, but with the injection of black air, the smell of alcohol really became much stronger.

Feeling the strong smell of the wine, the lame Taoist seemed a little stunned.

"Can this poison really be used to make wine?"

Xie Lian was also a little surprised, and asked eagerly.

"Who dares to drink the wine made by this guy? Taoist priest, do you want to try it?"

The lame Taoist shuddered and shook his head quickly.

Xie Lian stuffed the gourd with regret.

She didn't dare to try it easily. After all, this poison was indeed a bit creepy and difficult to deal with.

Rather than saying that Xie Lian destroyed it, it would be more accurate to say that it destroyed itself.

When he first saw Xie Lian, perhaps sensing Xie Lian's special physique, he jumped up and down, releasing a greedy emotion.

It was because of this that Xie Lian noticed him.

If it could be calmer, perhaps this disaster wouldn't have happened at all.

It can also be seen from this point that although poisonous creatures have intelligence, they are still driven by instinct.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed out like crazy after smelling Xie Lian's blood.

For safety reasons, Xie Lian didn’t dare to leave the wine gourd lying around, but simply hung it around his waist, then continued his conversation with the lame Taoist priest.

After the previous preparation, the lame Taoist no longer had any doubts in his mind, and basically would answer whatever Xie Lian asked.

After chatting for a long time, he discovered something very strange.

Xie Lian seemed a little "closed-minded".

This kind of isolation refers to the lack of knowledge about the basic common sense of the spiritual world.

There were many things that even Du Ning'er knew, but Xie Lian knew nothing about.

Moreover, when he brought it up, Xie Lian, who was listening in, looked as if he was listening with great interest.

This made the lame Taoist a little confused.

How could Xie Lian, such a great master, not even know such basic common sense?
You have to know that this person is definitely not ignorant. Not to mention what he said to the White Snake before about the "theory of demons and fairies", even when they were talking, Xie Lian always showed his wisdom.

As for worldly affairs, history, and many famous figures, Xie Lian could always give his own judgment as long as he introduced them.

Her perspective was very unique, sometimes it made him fall into deep thought and he felt that he had learned something. How could such a person be ignorant?

If you haven't seen everything in the world, how can you always give accurate and sharp answers?

Of course, he didn't know that the person in front of him was born in an era of information explosion and was a time traveler who was well versed in ancient culture, history, and mythology. It was not difficult for Xie Lian to talk about it on paper.

But precisely because he didn't know, the lame Taoist felt that Xie Lian was somewhat contradictory. After answering a question, he took the initiative to speak, cautiously probing the question.

"Senior is now living in seclusion in Xiaoning County. Are you tired of the disputes among practitioners? Or are you simply trying to understand the mundane world?"

Xie Lian was startled and answered truthfully.

"I can't say I live in seclusion here. I just came here by chance, and then I fell in love with this place, so I settled down here."

Although Xiaoning County was not prosperous, Xie Lian liked this kind of place with a stronger urban atmosphere more.

The neighbors are all very kind. She has completely integrated into this place and has subtly regarded this place as her home.

She had no intention of being like other practitioners, staying away from the world and meditating in the mountains. She preferred this lively environment.

"It's rare to be so casual, but when it comes to seniors, it seems to be the way it should be."

The lame Taoist sighed. He felt that Xie Lian was truly a treasure-like person who was emitting a unique brilliance all the time. But after sighing, he changed the subject.

"I would like to ask you, Senior, where were you before you settled in Xiaoning County? It is impossible that a person like you is not famous in the cultivation world, right?"

The lame Taoist's question is reasonable and bold.

Du Ning'er, who was pouring wine for the two of them, also looked attentive.

They were really curious about Xie Lian's past.

This Senior Xie is not only incredibly powerful, but also incredibly mysterious. After all, they came from Danxia Mountain, so how come they have never heard of such a top figure in the world of cultivation?

"Before settling in Xiaoning County..."

A smile slowly emerged on Xie Lian's face.

Because she thought of her past life.

That was a really hard era to define.

Most human beings have gotten rid of the problem of hunger and have more spiritual pursuits besides material things.

Games, reading, exams, work, cars and houses, marriage...

It is still vivid when I think of it, but as soon as I get distracted, it seems so far away.

That is a past that can never be reached again.

Xie Lian closed his eyes deeply and murmured.

"It is impossible that you have heard of my name. My past is hard for you to imagine. There is no Qian Country, no Danxia Mountain, and even nothing that you are familiar with..."

The lame Taoist looked at Xie Lian’s eyes which slowly opened.

He just felt that in her eyes, there seemed to be a reflection of a world emerging, which made him feel extremely strange and...shocked!
"There is no Qian Kingdom? Qian Kingdom has been established for 860 years."

"There is no Danxia Mountain? Danxia Mountain was built three thousand years ago."

"Nothing I know? I have read all the ancient books, and it is no exaggeration to boast that I am well-versed in everything. I have even heard of many things that happened tens of thousands of years ago... If there are things I don't know at all, what era did they happen in?"

Many thoughts flashed through the lame Taoist's mind. At this moment, he suddenly recalled what the City God of Xiaoning County had said to him.

"Senior Xie has a wide range of knowledge and knows a lot about ancient things, but he doesn't seem to know much about some of the basic common sense of today..."

Hiss!
He couldn't help but gasp, his heart shaking violently.

"How long ago did this person live?"
