Chapter 174 The Second Ten Thousand Immortals Summit

On this day, fire burned down the Zhou Mansion.

The moon is as full as a basin, and it coincides with the heavy snow. It seems that someone is throwing the moonlight into the world.

Li Changxiao climbed up to the roof of the Laiwu Inn and looked at the Dawocheng city, where the faint glow of fire could be seen.

He gulped down the strong drink.

I don't know what I'm thinking about.

Suddenly, there was a noise from behind.

Li Changxiao turned around and found that it was the cook who had always been silent. The cook sat down next to him and handed him a wine jar without saying a word.

Li Changxiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, took the wine jar, opened the wax cloth sealing the jar, and took a sip. The unique aroma instantly filled his entire mouth. It was the coveted spring and winter plum blossom wine.

The cook also had a jar. He held the mouth of the jar with one hand and drank heavily. Neither of them said a word, they just drank while looking at the full moon in the sky, with snowflakes falling on their shoulders.

The wine is almost gone.

The cook said solemnly, "I stole this wine."

Li Changxiao twitched the corner of his mouth, and then continued drinking.

...

Guan Bai was worried, so he knocked on Mei Sanniang's door in the middle of the night.

Mei Sanniang only wore a gauze-like pajamas on her body. She was looming and charming. In the middle of the night, a young, strong and handsome man knocked on the door and came in. There was a bit of joking on her face, and she was about to say something. A few words of teasing.

But suddenly she saw Guan Bai's expression was heavy. She thought of something, and the playful and charming expression on his face instantly subsided and asked: "Your appearance? Who is it?"

Guan Bai looked ugly, "It's Wang Jue."

Mei Sanniang was stunned, and her expression gradually turned ugly, "This bet..."

"I will go." Guan Bai said solemnly.

Farewell to Mei Sanniang, Guan Bai went straight to the second master's room.

Knocking lightly on the door, the second master, who was very fat and had a big belly, came over and opened the door.

The second master took Guan Bai into the room, where wine and food had been prepared for a long time. The second master kept mumbling that he had just stolen these wines and dishes in Dawo City. We have known each other for such a long time. I haven't had a good drink yet.

The second master added that he already knew what Guan Bai wanted to say. Isn't it about the bet? Only one person has appeared in those four bets. It's still a long time before they can be fulfilled. To say the least, if you have to admit defeat after a fight, neither Mei Sanniang, nor the second boss, nor the cook will blame you.

As he spoke, the second boss punched Guan Bai, "You kid, give me a smile."

Guan Bai felt a little better, so the second master took out a jar of wine and filled the glass, and the two drank from the glasses.

No one sleeps tonight.

Plum blossoms bloom secretly.

The next day.

Five people, including Mei Sanniang, went up the mountain again early to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Li Changxiao took the old donkey and went to the top of the mountain first to see the plum blossoms all over the mountain. Although it was an old scene, he didn't get tired of it.

Yesterday, the cook stole wine and was caught by Mei Sanniang. On the way up the mountain, he was inevitably scolded. Mei Sanniang's mouth was really sharp, but the cook was boring. The situation was naturally tilted to one side without any suspense. , it was just a quarrel, and the emphasis was on back and forth, a battle of wits and courage. The landlady scolded her for a long time, but the cook didn't even say a word to refute. How is this any different from scolding a piece of wood? Soon the landlady lost interest at all. Holding her breath, she turned around and scolded Guan Bai.

He was just cursing, but he wasn't very angry anymore.

Finished watching the snow scene.

Collected plum blossoms.

Everything remains the same.

The swordsman in white led the donkey, and his figure was gradually submerged by the wind and snow.

No more traces.

Just don't know.

When will we see you next time?

Ten years from now?

Maybe longer.

Guan Bai, Mei Sanniang, the cook, and the second master looked at the line of footprints left by the swordsman and felt sad in their hearts.

"I wish I were as free and easy as Lao Li." Guan Bai suddenly said.

"Free and easy?" Mei Sanniang shook her head, "He... is not a free and easy person. I am very good at judging people."

"Then what is he?" the second master asked.

The cook thought for a moment and said in a strange way: "A drunkard who can't keep anything."

"Bah, bah, bah." Mei Sanniang said half-jokingly: "What nonsense are you talking about? He hasn't gone far yet, so he cursed me. This handsome young man like him still owes me a lot of money."

Said.

Mei Sanniang looked at Guan Bai, pinched his ears with her white fingers with clear joints, her charming tone instantly became fierce, and she cursed: "You crawling boy, don't think I don't I know, you just stole two jars of wine from me and secretly put them in his bamboo box."

"See how I teach you a lesson!"

...

...

The swordsman walked several miles, but it wasn't until the donkey brayed twice that he realized that there were two more jars of wine in the bamboo box.

He was as happy as if he had found a treasure. When he was going to and from the inn, he was too embarrassed to ask for wine. He never thought that Lao Bai secretly took two jars and put them in a bamboo box. He silently remembered the kindness in his heart.

He raised the corner of his mouth and asked the donkey to stop by the roadside. He took out the two jars of fine wine from the bamboo box and laid them flat on the ground. He thought solemnly about what to do with them.

Think about it.

He kept it until he got hungry, and then took it out for a sip. He carefully put the two jars of wine into the dream space, and then continued riding the donkey north.

This trip lasted several months.

Following the old road, we left Qingyu and arrived at Huluzhou in Dingyu. We hadn't seen it for ten years. The dangerous mountains and bad waters here were still there, and there were many strange creatures hidden. If there were changes, there were naturally some. There were more small villages here than ten years ago, and the villagers made a living by hunting.

This Huluzhou is not big, but the road is difficult to walk.

After passing through Huluzhou, we traveled for more than a month and finally arrived at Wanxian City in Taijizhou. This big city had not been seen for ten years. Its scale had become larger and larger, and its commercial structure was extremely developed.

The most mysterious person in Wanxian City was the head of the Li family. The people only knew that this person was rich enough to rival a country. Most of Wanxian City was his property, but they had never seen his true face.

Another Wanxian Summit was coming.

Immortals from all over the country disguised themselves as wealthy merchants and visited Wanxian City.

Reforms require communication, especially in the early stages, which requires a lot of reference and comparison.

It is impossible to succeed in closed-door development, and everyone knows this.

Ten years have passed, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit has become more and more perfect. Li Xundao learned from the first lesson and adopted a diversion method for those visiting immortals. In addition, during the past ten years, he called on the mortals to build a lot of buildings and build the Ten Thousand Immortals Peak, digging holes and building platforms, setting up mountain pavilions and temples, and providing places for communication.

The main venue of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit has also been moved from the narrow and cramped restaurant compartment to the mountain. The space is much larger, and the capacity of the Ten Thousand Immortals City to accommodate foreign cultivators has also been greatly enhanced.

However, there are too many cultivators in the world. If they all rush into the Ten Thousand Immortals City at the same time, it will also be too much to bear. Li Xundao spent a lot of thought on this, and finally decided to expand the opening time of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit to seven days. In this way, it can not only strengthen the in-depth communication between cultivators, but also ensure that the personnel are always in circulation, and will not reach a peak at a certain night or moment.
