Volume 1 The Ups and Downs of This Life Chapter 47 A Cup of Turbid Wine
At dawn, the rain stopped.
It's just that today's weather is still not too good, although the heavy rain has stopped, but there are still layers of black clouds above the head of Nanshan Garden, like heavy lead, hanging very low, if you stand on top of a tall building, as if you can reach out and touch, people's hearts seem to be pressed on a big stone.
Chen Guhong, who was dressed in a black crane, personally invited the three of them to the banquet, saying that he wanted to wash the dust for the three of them, and several masters of the Baodan Realm in the manor were also called by Chen Guhong, and stood respectfully outside the hall, which can be said to have given the three of them enough face.
However, Li Xuandu shirked and said that Zhou Shuning suffered some cold last night, and now he is still bedridden, so in the end, only he and Hu Liang went to the banquet.
In the hall, there is only a huge round table, which can be used for more than ten people to sit, Chen Guhong and Li Xuandu humbled each other, and insisted on letting Li Xuandu, the benevolent father, sit on the main seat, he was in the position of the main escort, followed by a famous maid who came in turn, holding various dishes in her hands, eight meat and eight vegetables, cold and hot dishes, quite exquisite.
Chen Guhong first poured a glass of wine for Li Xuandu with his own hands, then poured wine for himself, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Grace to me, that is the grace of recreation, it can be said that without Grace, there would be no me Chen Guhong today, so this first glass of wine, I respect Grace Gong." ”
Li Xuandu also raised his wine glass, and after clinking glasses with Chen Guhong, the two of them drank it all.
Then Chen Guhong poured another glass of wine for Hu Liang, raised his glass again, and said: "Brother Hu is a friend of Engong, so naturally he is also my friend of Chen Guhong, so I salute Brother Hu for this second glass of wine." ”
Hu Liang smiled and also picked up the wine glass, but he didn't rush to drink, but said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Chen is known as the reincarnation of Meng Wei on the boundary of Jiuhe Mansion, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its reputation, so this glass of wine should be Hu Mou's respect for Brother Chen." ”
Chen Guhong held the wine glass in one hand, waved his hand and said: "What is the reincarnation of Meng taste, it is just the love of the local colleagues, Chen is really ashamed." ”
Hu Liang looked down at the wine, his nose moved slightly, and after sniffing, he said: "Thirty years of high-grade flower carving, Brother Chen is very good." ”
Chen Guhong said with a smile: "Brother Hu is very knowledgeable, he can smell the vintage of wine just by smell, and he must be a good wine person." ”
Hu Liang said unceremoniously: "That's natural, I Hu has two major preferences in my life, one is to cut off people's heads, and the other is to drink, which can be described as no wine and no joy." ”
Chen Guhong said: "Since Brother Hu Liang likes it, then when Brother Hu Liang leaves, the old man will prepare a twenty jar for Brother Hu Liang and keep it for drinking on the road." ”
I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the word "on the road" was bitten a few points by Chen Guhong.
Hu Liang stretched out his thumb, "Brother Chen is righteous, worthy of the name of the reincarnation of Meng Wei, even the ingredients in this wine have also chosen Qingluanwei's strange poison 'Qi Xianren', I heard that this strange poison is known as 'it is difficult to buy one or two for ten thousand gold', Rao is a master of the innate realm, and after being poisoned, he can't move for a while." Brother Chen is really good. ”
The feast, which was originally quite lively, was deserted in an instant.
Li Xuandu, who had not spoken, gently twisted the empty wine glass with two fingers, and said slowly: "There is a mystery hidden in the cup, and there is murder in the wine." ”
The faces of several Nanshan Garden masters changed suddenly, and one of them got up.
It's just that Chen Guhong is still there, without any strange emotions, he lowered his head and drank the wine in his cup, and sighed: "Brother Hu is really insightful, this makes you smell it." ”
Chen Guhong put down the wine quilt in his hand and said calmly: "Brother Hu is right, this wine does contain a strange poison 'Immortal', which is specially used to deal with the masters of the innate realm. ”
Hu Liang looked at the old man and said hesitantly: "It seems that Brother Chen really regards us as the chicks who are breaking into the rivers and lakes for the first time." ”
Chen Guhong shook his head, looked at Li Xuandu, and asked, "Let me ask you more, how did Engong see through this Hongmen banquet? The old man admitted that he did not show any flaws, and since Engong knew that the wine was poisonous, why did he drink this wine? I also hope that Engong will not hesitate to solve the old man's doubts." ”
Li Xuan didn't answer, and asked rhetorically, "Are you from Qingluanwei?"
Chen Guhong shook his head and smiled: "The old man is not Qingluanwei's person, he just made a deal with Qingluanwei. Qingluanwei promised the old man that as long as he helped them capture Engong and his party, they would help the old man open a sect here and pass on the Taoist system, so that the old man would be worthy of the ancestral master. ”
Li Xuandu sighed lightly, "People's hearts are like water, and there are many ripples. ”
Chen Guhong didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Li Xuandu's words, and continued: "The so-called 'immortal' means that the immortal will be degraded and reduced to the mortal dust if he eats it. Of course, this is just an exaggeration, in fact, as long as there is a cultivation of the three realms, you can ignore this poison, but it is a pity that Engong is a generation of geniuses, after all, he can't set foot in such a top realm at such an age, so he is destined to be subject to this poison today. ”
Then he glanced at Hu Liang, "Although Brother Hu didn't drink this wine, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to leave Nanshan Garden alone." ”
Chen Guhong stared at Xu Beiyou, trying to find a little panic on his face, and said softly: "Engong probably thinks that with the old man alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop Brother Hu, but the murder is not just the old man's doing?"
I saw that between the halls, a little bit of sparks floated out of thin air, outlining the shape of a portal.
Then I saw Bai Chouqiu and Gu Fengxian walking out of the portal one after another.
Chen Guhong was still staring at Li Xuandu.
So far, no matter how you look at it, it is also a mortal situation, but Chen Guhong still can't see any panic from Li Xuandu's face, which makes him a little annoyed, he actually wants to see how ugly this benefactor will be when he falls to the ground before he dies, this is the fundamental reason why he planned and explained it before, but this benevolent duke is so "uninteresting", and he still pretends to be calm when he dies, doesn't it make his words useless nonsense?
Chen Guhong's face was gloomy, and he slowly got up from his position, and Bai Chouqiu and Gu Fengxian faintly formed a corner with each other, surrounding Li Xuandu and the two in the middle.
There are also those masters of the Baodan Realm in Nanshan Park who respond from the side, which can be described as a net of heaven and earth.
Hu Liang held the Great Grandmaster and said to Li Xuandu: "Old Li, Brother Chen is a Hu brother, so Brother Chen will hand it over to me." ”
Then he got up and looked at Gu Fengxian and Bai Chouqiu, and said, "As for these two masters of Qingluanwei, Lao Li, you will come to the meeting for a while." ”
Bai Chouqiu smiled and said, "After drinking the 'Immortal', the old man really wants to see if Your Excellency can still be as invincible as he was in the Wind Yin Mansion." ”
Li Xuandu slowly got up and said the word "good".
