"What are you doing?"

Zhang Ruochen's hands gripped the gourd tightly and glared at the drunken maniac.

"Why are you so nervous? It's just a gourd, with the old man's ethics and conduct, will he still rob you? Young man, take it out quickly, and let the old man help you take a look. ”

The eyes of the drunken maniac stared directly at the gourd, and he couldn't wait.

"It's just a gourd, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Zhang Ruochen handed it over to him, stared down at the gourd, and saw that the gourd was engraved with an ancient text with a small font.

Quite old texts, completely different from current ones, are difficult to discern.

The drunken maniac craned his neck and said, "Do you understand?" Give it to the old man, and the old man will tell you what is engraved on it. Or, the old man gives you a thousand-pattern holy weapon dug out of the iceberg before, and exchanges it with you, although the value of a gourd is far less than a thousand-pattern holy weapon, but everyone is an acquaintance, and it doesn't matter if you take advantage of it. ”

"Do you think I don't know the seal?" Zhang Ruochen said.

The drunken maniac showed a strange color and said, "With your age and experience, you actually know that you have some ability." ”

Seal script is a small category of writing in the Middle Ages, which was only circulated among some small tribes in the northern region, and to this day, it can be said that there are only a handful of monks who can still recognize this script.

Zhang Ruochen recognized the content of the text and sighed lightly: "The text strokes have some holy charm, but unfortunately, it is just a poem and has no valuable content." ”

Zhang Ruochen was a little disappointed, then looked at the gourd in his hand again, and said, "However, the gourd is a little special, it seems to be a treasure." ”

Zhang Ruochen mobilized the holy qi and injected it into the gourd.

"Whoa. ”

In the gourd, a thick water spirit holy qi gushed out, turning into wisps of white mist, making the iceberg under their feet seem to turn into a fairy mountain.

The mist turned into a long bridge and connected with the sea.

The more holy qi was injected into it, ten times or a hundred times the water spirit holy qi would gush out of the gourd, and it didn't take long for the water spirit holy qi to condense and thicken, turning into raindrops.

On the sea within a radius of dozens of miles, it was actually falling a drizzle.

"Mercury gourd, sure enough, it's Mercury gourd...... There are too many treasures in the abandoned deep sea, and even this legendary treasure has appeared. The drunken maniac said excitedly.

Zhang Ruochen also recognized that this was the Mercury gourd.

It is said that from ancient times to the present, a total of five sacred trees have been born in the Kunlun realm, which are the five spiritual roots.

Among them, the Basho Sacred Tree in the north is called the Water Spirit Root, and on top of the Basho Sacred Tree there is a gourd vine called the Mercury Vine.

The gourds that grow on the vines of Mercury, each as huge as a planet, are filled with water-attribute holy energy on the surface of the gourd, raining all year round, and accompanied by lightning and thunder.

A vine seems to have grown more than a dozen planets, and the Mercury vine is named after it.

The gourds on the vines of Mercury were all taken away by the great supernatural powers of the Middle Ages and refined into powerful treasures, but almost all of them were destroyed in the great turmoil at the end of the Middle Ages, and only a few of them were preserved.

The drunken maniac's eyes turned green, staring at the Mercury gourd in Zhang Ruochen's hand, ecstatic, and said: "It is said that one of the seven ancient religions, the treasure of the Xingshu Sect, the earth law gourd, is made of a Mercury gourd, and the inside of the gourd is a world of its own, and it contains the remnants of the water spirit spirit energy from the Middle Ages. What a treasure, what a rare treasure!"

Seeing the crazy eyes of the drunken maniac, Zhang Ruochen was a little worried that he would snatch it.

Such a legendary treasure would make even a great sage excited, let alone a drunken maniac.

The drunken maniac showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said with a smile: "How about we exchange, the old man exchanged it with you with three leaves and nine flowers, you don't suffer a loss, right?"

Zhang Ruochen tried his best to remain calm, smiled, and said: "With the identity of the senior, with the wine of the senior, if it is not exchanged with you, will you come to grab it?"

"Rob?"

The drunkard became a little annoyed, and said, "Who do you think the old man is? A robber? With the old man's wine and the old man's ethics, how can he do such a thing." If you really want to rob it, those treasures on your body have already been snatched away. The old man is really discussing with you, after all, why are you drinking friends, how can you tear your face for a treasure?"

Zhang Ruochen thought about it carefully and felt that it was right.

In the world, who doesn't know that Zhang Ruochen has the World Spirit of the Boundary Seal, the Buddha Emperor Relic, and the Qinglong Ruins on his body...... And so on, each one is a treasure.

The drunkard obviously knew his identity, but he never snatched it, and I don't know if he was really ethical, or if he had already regarded Zhang Ruochen as a drinking friend, or if there was some other reason.

Anyway, he really didn't seem to plan to snatch the Mercury gourd, but was ready to exchange with Zhang Ruochen.

The behavior and personality of alcoholic maniacs are really getting stranger and more strange, and people can't figure it out.

If you once swore not to kill again, did you also swear not to rob other people's treasures?

said that he really had integrity, but he was in the dragon demihuman race, but he stole all the wine in the cellar, and there was not a drop left. Is that ethical?

Zhang Ruochen decided to test it again, so he said very decisively: "Don't change." ”

The drunken maniac was so anxious that he was going crazy, and said bitterly: "It's useless for you to take the Mercury gourd, and it's a complete waste to put it with you." ”

"What's the use of you taking it?" Zhang Ruochen said.

The drunken maniac said: "It's useful, it's useful, you must know that the legendary Six Saints Ascending Heaven Wine can only be brewed by using the water spirit holy qi in the Mercury gourd." ”

"You don't have the recipe for the Six Saints Ascending Wine, even if you take it, you won't be able to make the Six Saints Ascending Wine. Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

The drunken maniac shook his head and said, "Even if you don't brew the Six Saints Ascending Heavenly Wine, take the Water Spirit Holy Qi from the Water Star Gourd and refine other wines, the strength and taste of the wine will definitely double." Therefore, the Mercury gourd can only exert its greatest value if it is in the hands of the old man. ”

"For you, it is. As far as I am concerned, the Water Spirit Holy Qi in the Mercury Gourd can help me cultivate, and the Mercury Gourd itself is also a powerful weapon. What's more, there may not be other treasures in the gourd. Zhang Ruochen said slowly.

The drunken maniac endured it very hard, and really wanted to snatch the Mercury gourd, but he once swore to someone that he would never kill again, take it again, and never do a single evil thing in this life.

Except, of course, wine.

For a drunkard, seeing good wine and not being able to drink it is definitely a worse thing than death.

Zhang Ruochen showed a thoughtful expression, raised his head, stared at the drunken maniac, and said, "Or, you tell me your story, for example, why did you swear not to kill again?"

The drunken maniac glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Don't talk about it." ”

"In the future, if you want to make wine, I can provide you with the water spirit holy qi in the Mercury gourd. Zhang Ruochen said.

The drunken maniac was a little moved, and then, with a smile, sat down, and said, "That's what you said." ”

"Of course I said that. ”

The drunken maniac said: "Looking at it now, it's not a shameful thing, and it doesn't matter if I tell you." It's a long story, so I'll make a long story short. Actually, they were all forced by the empress, and they had to swear. ”

"And then?"

Zhang Ruochen was a little surprised that this matter was actually related to Chi Yao.

The drunken maniac shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "It's gone." ”

It's really a long story short.

Zhang Ruochen continued to ask, "That empress, why did you force you to swear?"

The drunken maniac showed a dissatisfied look, obviously thinking that Zhang Ruochen had too many problems, but for the sake of the water spirit holy qi in the Mercury gourd, he had to say again: "Whoever told me to be caught by her, if I don't swear, I will die." ”

"How long was that?" Zhang Ruochen asked again.

"It was about 600 years ago, but I can't remember exactly how long!" said the drunken maniac.

"...... 600 Years Ago"

Zhang Ruochen whispered, and then, with a sly look in his eyes, he said with a smile: "As far as I know, six hundred years ago, Empress Chi Yao did not ascend to the throne, and she was still a princess. ”

"It is recorded in the historical books that at that time, Princess Chi Yao once led a large army to attack the Moon Worship Demon Sect, and killed the Demon Emperor in the Copper Furnace Plain, which caused the Moon Worship Demon Sect to collapse, and the strong people in the sect died eighty percent. Even after hundreds of years of recuperation, he has not recovered. ”

"That was the last big battle of the Chi Qing Central Empire to unify the world, and from then on, the major ancient religions and sects in the world did not dare to disobey, and they announced to the world that they were willing to obey the orders of Princess Chi Yao and Emperor Qing. ”

"You can't really be a member of the Demon Sect, and you were captured by her in that battle, right?"

The drunken maniac took a sip of wine, waved his hand, and said, "I can't remember!"

Zhang Ruochen knew that the drunken maniac didn't want to mention more about the things of the year, so he didn't continue to ask, but he was sure of one thing, he really might be a famous person in the Demon Sect back then.

Zhang Ruochen opened the lid of the gourd, ready to investigate, is the inside of the Mercury gourd really as mysterious as the legend?

As soon as he opened the lid, Zhang Ruochen noticed that the concave position of the lid had small black dots

"Hey, what is this?"

Zhang Ruochen poured holy qi into the lid of the gourd, and the lid became bigger and bigger, and finally, it became as huge as a grinding disc.

Those small black dots are also getting bigger and bigger, and finally they turn into an ancient text.

It's still a seal.

The drunken maniac craned his neck and stared at the words on the lid of the gourd, and then, with a strange scream, then laughed like a maniac again.

Zhang Ruochen was taken aback by him, frowned, and stared at those seal inscriptions, carefully identifying them. After a while, he also let out a series of laughs, "The recipe of the Six Saints Ascending Heaven Wine is indeed engraved on the Mercury gourd. ”

The ancient text on the lid of the gourd is the recipe of the Six Sages Ascending Wine.

The drunken maniac took Zhang Ruochen's arm, his eyes were shining with stars, and he said tremblingly: "How about we join forces to brew the Heavenly Wine? When the time comes, the Six Saints Ascending Heaven Wine will be renamed the Second Saint Heavenly Wine, and both of us will be recorded in the history of the human race." ”
