Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 21: Almost Getting Angry to Death
The stars are sparse, the moon is faint, and the broken clouds are light.

It is said that when people are well fed and warm, they will think about sex, but now the villagers are hungry, so they naturally don’t have the leisure time for that.

It was only three o'clock in the morning and all the lights in Kaoshan Village were off.

The terrain of the entire village is sunken like a basin. If you look down from a high place, it looks like a trapped beast in a cage.

The animal head is in a low position, bowing towards the foot of Daling Mountain.

Even at night, the Daling Mountain was still shrouded in thick fog that could not be wiped off.

The fog at the foot of the mountain is relatively thin, and as the night wind blows, it rolls like waves.

An ancient stone staircase gradually emerged from the fog.

The ancient road was very wide, about several meters long, and extended all the way from the entrance of the village.

At the end of the ancient road, there is an altar.

On the bronze tablet in front of the stage, there were three sacrificial animals and incense sticks as thick as bowls.

All of them are offerings squeezed out of the teeth by the villagers.

Behind it stood a statue of a mountain god that was several feet taller than an adult.

It is made of clay, with a mold of bamboo strips and thin mud, and the top is painted with black, red and green pigments.

The way the mountain god's facial features were pinched was so difficult to describe.

The left eye is higher than the right one, the nostrils are one big and one small, and the mouth is crooked, forming a straight arc when grinning backwards.

Tonight, the moon shines coldly.

The moonlight shines on the face of this mountain god statue.

It can barely capture a person's appearance.

“Nice aesthetic…”

Xu Zhiqiu actually praised the craftsmanship of the craftsman.

The reason why this statue was built here is probably to serve as a gatekeeper.

What it is guarding is the towering mountains wrapped in mist behind it.

Xu Zhiqiu looked up, then bowed towards the statue.

"Xu Zhiqiu, a stranger, has come to Guibao Mountain to look for some food to feed the orphans and widows of the kind family where I live... Oh, and also to feed myself."

He patted his shriveled belly and bowed slightly to the statue.
"I hereby inform the local mountain god that if Xu's actions are offensive in any way, please...please just stand firm."

The statue seemed to respond, and a faint light flickered in the empty spaces of its clay eyes.

And from the mouth of the clay statue, a strange "rustling" sound came out.

Could it be a manifestation?

Xu Zhiqiu frowned, walked closer, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Then he ignored it and strode into the foggy mountain.

……

As we stepped into the mountains, the mist became thinner.

What comes into view are clusters of trees and towering rocks. The moonlight shines through the gaps in the shade of the trees, clear and scattered.

It was like suddenly stepping into a new world, with chirping, rustling, ding-dong and other sounds all around.

The chirping sounds are from birds and animals, the rustling sounds are from reptiles, and the gurgling sounds are from flowing water.

Along the flowing water, a winding path breaks through the forest barriers and goes up obliquely.

The freshness of the air, the fragrance of grass and trees, and the fishy smell of soil all rushed into my nose.

Xu Zhiqiu took a deep breath and felt his internal organs become more relaxed.

"What a place where immortals with longevity live."

He admired it and walked up the mountain along the path.

After walking about a hundred steps, you will see a forest of fruit trees, which are so beautiful in pink and green.

He raised his hand and casually picked a two-pound peach from the tree.

Can't wait to take a bite,
"Click" sound!
The juice is sweet and the flesh is crispy.

Hmm~noisy!
But before he could take two bites——

Thunderclap!
In the bushes ahead, a large family was running over, humming and groaning!
There were actually three or five fat and strong wild boars, followed by a few frolicking piglets. They came at him so aggressively that he almost stumbled.

Xu Zhiqiu was drooling as he watched.

If you catch and skin this pig, you can get at least 200 kilograms of meat!

By then, the fat meat can be used to extract oil, the lean meat can be chopped into stuffing, and the pork belly can be stewed with sauerkraut...

Swallowing his saliva, Xu Zhiqiu sighed again:
"This mountain is full of treasures. If we could release them, it would be enough for the people of this mountain village to live on for several lifetimes. Unfortunately..."

After eating the peach clean, he rolled up his sleeves and went deeper into the mountain.

The abundance of the land made him very happy.

After walking a hundred steps, he suddenly felt a twitch in his nose. "Huh?" he wondered.

"Where does this strange fragrance come from? It's really intoxicating."

He followed the smell, sniffing his way towards it step by step.

After climbing for about another half an hour, he happened to look outside and could not help but marvel at the sight.

This mountain is really big!

He estimated that he had climbed several thousand meters, but when he looked down through the gaps in the trees,
It turned out that we had just touched the outer area of ​​the mountain.

As he continued to go deeper, the strange fragrance became stronger.

Finally, after pushing aside the bushes in front of us, the view suddenly opened up.

A stone platform was suspended halfway up the stone wall, about ten feet off the ground, protruding about three feet and two feet wide.

The strange fragrance came from there.

Xu Zhiqiu found a vine and climbed up.

What you see is a six-foot square emerald green wine pool, rippling with the glow of moonlight.

The aroma of the wine was so clear and mellow that it made people feel dizzy and even their nostrils seemed to be pierced.

Xu Zhiqiu was surprised and couldn't help but think of a legend -

"Could it be monkey wine?"

Xu Zhiqiu once read "Penglong Yehua" and remembered that it said: In spring and summer, monkeys in the mountains pick flowers and fruits in stone depressions, brew them into wine, and the fragrance overflows, which can be smelled from hundreds of steps away.

Monkeys make wine, how good are their skills?
Xu Zhiqiu had never experienced it before, but the aroma of the wine... made him feel itchy.

According to legend, this wine is a tonic and the essence of plants. Just one sip of it can strengthen the body and cure diseases.

If used as medicine, it can cure many difficult and stubborn diseases.

Xu Zhiqiu wanted to scoop up a handful to taste it.
But he was also aware of the risks. After all, the wine was brewed by monkeys, and this kind was the most vicious!
Once you notice someone stealing wine...

The book says: Woodcutters who go deep into the wilderness may be able to drink secretly, but they should not be greedy, as drinking too much will reduce the amount of wine left. If they notice, the monkeys will catch them and bite them to death.

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu hesitated for half a second and then prepared himself mentally.

"God of your precious land, I will take a small bite today to satisfy my craving. Just one bite..."

He shamelessly scooped up a handful, brought it to his mouth, licked it and drank it down in one gulp.

Bliss~

Xu Zhiqiu's cheeks turned red, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Good wine!"

He swore that he had never tasted such delicious wine in his three lifetimes.

Well, have another bite...

then,

Bliss~

Perhaps the Hehuan Fire did affect him a little.

Once greed arises, it cannot be stopped.

Slurp~
Slurp~

……

After taking seven or eight mouthfuls, the water level in the wine pool dropped by half a centimeter.

He burped contentedly.

Then, his body swayed and he felt dizzy and was about to fall.

The world began to spin in front of my eyes, and even my hands and feet became weak.

I'm drunk now.

Just then——

"Jijigugu-oooooo!"

In the distance, monkeys were calling one after another. The sound was extremely urgent, with a hint of brutality and cruelty.

The rustling sound of the shuttles disturbed the grass and was getting closer and closer.

Xu Zhiqiu wanted to prop himself up and jump off the stone platform, but his hands and feet were weak, and his center of gravity was lost and he fell back.

"broken!"

He felt a chill in his heart and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He suddenly realized - what happened to me today?
The retribution is coming now!

If I were caught in the act, wouldn't I be pissed to death?!

How can that work?
"Earth-Walking Immortal", bullshit!
