Chapter 38
Lin Zhen now has one more impression of Yan Jing: a drunkard.
Xiao Ling once said that Yan Jing "brings folk spirits with him", Xie Dou said that Yan Jing was "addicted to alcohol", Bai Qiong complained with a pout that "the master can't do without wine at all times", even leaving Yuan Du laughed helplessly and said that Yan Jing "can't get drunk after drinking, and can't stop drinking if he doesn't get drunk".
However, Lin Zhen still doesn't quite believe that Yan Jing, who seems to be ascetic and indifferent, would love to drink.
until one day--
Yan Jing was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, looked up and saw Lin Zhen coming in, and said, "Lin Zhen, go to the wine cellar with Bai Qiong to get some wine, Li Yuan will leave tomorrow, and tonight will be a farewell party for him."
Lin Zhen will go to Wuming Valley to practice kung fu these days, and today is no exception. She has just come back and was ordered by Yan Jing.
He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, a decent courtyard would have a wine cellar, and it was only natural to bring wine to see off the guests.
However, when Bai Qiong took him there, he couldn't help being stunned.
Yan Jing's wine cellar is under the ground in the yard, illuminated by dim candles. Lin Zhen followed Bai Qiong down the stairs, only to find that the wine cellar is as big as Yan Jing's yard, with four walls, from low to high, The shelves are full of wine, and there are hundreds of large jars of wine on the ground, and two or three jars have been cracked with mud.
This was the first time in Lin Zhen's life that he saw so much wine. He stood in the wine cellar, dumbfounded.
Bai Qiong became much calmer, and he patted Lin Zhen: "Come and help, some wine is too high, I can't reach it."
In the past, Qingxu sat with him to take the wine. Qingxu was taller than him, so Qingxu took all the wine from the high place.Now that Qingxu went out to accompany Qin Yun and others to the town, Lin Zhen could only rely on her.
Lin Zhen took a closer look and found that the names of the wines standing on the wall cabinets were all pasted, including the cheapest burning knives among the people, as well as the imperial palace wine, golden stem dew, orchid wine, dragon paste wine, sangluo wine, rose dew... ... There are even a dozen bottles of horse wine.The handwriting on the red paper is neat, and it is written in small regular script with hairpin flowers, as if it was written by Yan Jing. In addition to the name and type of wine, the year and place of origin are also written on the paper. Some are recent and some are old. Lin Zhen bent down, surprised Suddenly, I found that there were many bottles of wine in the bottom row that were hundreds of years ago.
Bai Qiong seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Lin Zhen, "That's right, Lin Zhen, come and see this."
Lin Zhen followed Bai Qiong to another wall. Just by looking at it at first glance, he could see the difference in the whole wall.The wine bottles on the other walls are of different sizes, materials and colors. It can be seen that Yan Jing collected bottles from all over the place and put them here.
However, the wine on the wall in front of me, every row, every column, every bottle, is all made of identical black glazed porcelain bottles, the surface of the bottles is smooth, flowing with dark light, without any traces.A note was also pasted on the bottle, but it was not red paper, but white paper, and the paper was no longer the exquisite hairpin lowercase script, but the free and easy running script. Hundreds of bottles were all written "cold" in one color. The three characters of "Tan Xiang" do not indicate the year and place of origin, but there is an extra line written on the bottle that reads "Gift to your confidant Yan Jing, let us enjoy fine wine together in the future".
Not signed.
Bai Qiong looked at Lin Zhen's expression and said, "This wall was given to the master by Master Ye Yu. I guess I was not born at the time. The master seems to be living in another place because of reincarnation, and was later ordered by Master Li Yuan. I came back after melting, and saw these wines when I came back."
Lin Zhen's eyes stayed on the phrase "Let's enjoy fine wine together in the future" and did not speak.
"The master once said that the wine sent by Master Yu Yu is very delicious, so he always drinks the wine sent by Master Yu Yu first. But now he hardly touches the wine from Master Yu Yu...that is to say, After you came, the master brought a bottle of Hantan incense, the master didn't say anything, but Qing Xu and I guessed that the master was playing tricks again, and he regretted why he let Ye Yu bring only so much wine left. It's time." Bai Qiong sighed softly, "Once, the master was a little drunk and went into the wine cellar. I was worried, so I followed quietly, and I saw the master was facing the wall. Sat down and drank and said 'how come you guys haven't brought me drinks for so long?'"
Lin Zhen has never been a sentimental person, and Bai Qiong's words are not sentimental, but after listening to Bai Qiong's words, Lin Zhen only felt warm and astringent in his heart, so moved that he didn't know what to say, and could only sigh.
Ye Yu really regards Yan Jing as a confidant, so he knows what he likes, and sends him good wine every year, even though he doesn't know where the other party is.
Yan Jing also really regards Ye Yu as a confidant, that's why she is annoyed, complains, and is willing to help Lin Zhen with all her strength.
However, Yan Jing probably never thought that this would be the last batch of wine that Ye Yu gave him.
The covenant of appreciating fine wine together has changed from "tomorrow" to "indefinite day".
It is said that Hantan incense is brewed from alpine cold lake water, which has a cool taste. I wonder if Yan Jing feels cold or cold when drinking the wine here?
But no matter how sad and nostalgic, people like Yan Jing will not show it.
"Take a bottle of this up here." Lin Zhen stretched out his hand to touch the cold porcelain bottle, but he was thinking, did Ye Yu hold this bottle like this many years ago, firmly believing that Yan Jing would definitely come back?
Although he is Ye Yu's son, he is always said to be like him, but he is not Ye Yu after all.
Everything is unknown.
Later, Bai Qiong and Lin Zhen hugged two more daughters, Hong, before going to Yan Jing.
At that time, Qin Yun and others also came back, Lu Xixun and Qing Xu made some light dishes, Xie Dou had gone somewhere a few days ago.Yan Jing's house didn't set up a big table for entertaining guests, so a group of people simply sat down anywhere in the room, eating and drinking like this, and it was actually enjoyable.
Yan Jing ate very little, and almost moved two chopsticks of vegetables, and then sipped the wine leisurely from the cup.
What Li Yuan drank was Nurhong, he is not like Yan Jing who can drink a lot, after a few drinks, his pale face also flushed unnaturally, he said with a smile: "When I was in heaven, I never had a drink with you, what a pity."
Yan Jing said: "At that time, you didn't drink alcohol at all, what can I do? But that's okay, no one will snatch the elixir from me."
Li Yuan was so drunk that he laughed.
There was once a person who was not allowed to drink alcohol, saying that it would hurt his health.
It was just such a person who forced him to jump off the path of reincarnation in despair, and since then he has also learned to drink away his worries.
Lin Zhen listened to the two talking about the heavenly world, and asked curiously, "Can you tell me about your previous lives?"
The corners of Yan Jing's mouth were lightly raised, and he laughed at himself a few times: "There is nothing to say, it's just that it's so high up for thousands of years, it's boring and boring."
"Xiao Ling is the Canglong, so what are you and Li Yuan? Are they also four spirits?"
"No, I am Yisuan Xingjun of Nandou, and Li Yuan is the head of Nandou's six Xingjun, Siming Xingjun."
Lin Zhen scratched her head: "Could you tell me something about Beidou, I'm not very clear yet."
It was not Yan Jing who answered, but Li Yuan who was beside him, and he said with a smile: "'Nandou Sisheng, Beidou Sisi.' Have you heard this sentence?"
Lin Zhen nodded, and Xie Dou told him the first time he used his body to find him.
"Life and death are the two most opposing things in the world. Naturally, conflicts and disagreements are easy to arise in the north and south that govern life and death separately." Li Yuan sighed, "In the beginning, at most, the two factions interacted with each other. No relationship, but later Tianshu...that is, the head of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, was too ambitious, and in the past hundred years, he slowly began to eliminate dissidents, delusional to dominate the entire heaven."
"There are seven stars in the Big Dipper?" Lin Zhen wondered, "There are six in the South Dipper, but seven in the Big Dipper. Isn't it unbalanced?"
Yan Jing glanced at Li Yuan, and snorted coldly: "Yeah, who knows why there will be one more, that Yaoguang didn't even think about whose apprentice he was, and went to the Big Dipper Sect to become the seventh star king."
The rare blush on Li Yuan's face dissipated, his face was as pale as usual, he said: "Yan Jing, stop talking."
"What do you mean don't talk?" Yan Jing looked like he hated iron and steel, "He forced you to jump off the reincarnation road and repay your kindness with revenge! If I were you, I wouldn't swallow my anger, even if I fight to the death, I can at least let out a bad breath .”
Li Yuan was silent, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down.
Lin Zhen probably guessed the general idea of the matter. Yaoguang, the seventh star of the Big Dipper, was originally an apprentice of Nandou Liyuan, but for some reason, he stood on the side of Beidou, and finally forced Li Yuan into a corner.
It's no wonder that Yan Jing will fight against injustice.
Yan Jing suddenly pointed to Lin Zhen: "How are you practicing in Wuming Valley these days?"
"Ah?" Lin Zhen immediately said seriously, "Not bad."
Yan Jing raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean by not bad?"
"...It's okay, it feels good." Lin Zhen scratched her head again, not knowing why Yan Jing asked this.
"Fine? Did you find anything?"
Lin Zhen nodded, "Yes, yes, I found that meditating in the Unnamed Valley is especially easy to concentrate. The whole valley has strong spiritual power, which makes me feel comfortable."
Yan Jing's hand holding the wine glass shook, "Meditate? You go back and forth for two hours a day, where do you go to meditate?"
"Didn't you ask me to practice kung fu? I only have to meditate and practice my mind."
"I really doubt that Ye Yu has also sealed your brain."
"...My memory was indeed sealed along with it."
Yan Jing took a deep look at Lin Zhen, "Perhaps Ye Yu transferred all your wisdom to your poor skills."
Lin Zhen has been hanging out with Bai Qiong for the past few days, and his ability to play tricks has improved day by day: "My father is so wise, and he understands the truth of a gentleman's words but not his hands."
Yan Jing smiled when she heard this, "Ye Yu is not a gentleman."
That's right, Ye Yu is a big devil, so he wouldn't have anything to do with a gentleman.
Lin Zhen was quite curious about Yan Jing and the others' past events, so she quickly grabbed the phone and asked, "You were the star king in the sky, and my father was the devil king on the earth. How did you two become confidants?"
Yan Jing's smile froze, Li Yuan took over the conversation, and laughed loudly: "Speaking of this, I am the only witness, once I went to the mortal world with Yan Jing..."
"Li Yuan!" Yan Jing frowned and interrupted.
Li Yuan was drunk, and talked too much, ignored Yan Jing, and continued: "In the end, we met Ye Yu...haha, Ye Yu mistaken Yan Jing for a girl, and came here without knowing the truth." Molested, Yan Jing was so angry... Haha... Yan Jing was so angry that he jumped, saying that he wanted to kill Ye Yu... This made me laugh for a long time, and Xie Dou was there at the time."
Lin Zhen suddenly realized that, indeed, Yan Jing was so beautiful that it was difficult to distinguish male and female. If you didn't look carefully, you would really think it was a cold and beautiful girl.
The others left the room tactfully, leaving the three chattering while drinking.
Lin Zhen tasted Hantan incense for the first time, and felt refreshing. After drinking three cups in a row, she forgot that the wine had a strong aftertaste. After a while, she felt dizzy and drunk.He listened to Yan Jing and Li Yuan talking about some things in the past, his heart moved, and the most curious question was easily asked when he was drunk: "You...can you tell me about Xiao Ling in the previous life... ...what does it look like?"
"Xiao Ling..." Yan Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. He has a good drinker and is the most sober among the three. "The four spirits have always been relatively independent, and each guards a gate in the heavens. They are equivalent to patron saints. If I remember correctly, Canglong It's guarding the east gate. Right, Li Yuan?"
Li Yuan was already so drunk that he could hardly keep his eyes open, but he still responded.
Lin Zhen lay down on the table, and said with a foolish smile: "Guardian? What a powerful look...Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, he looks in armor, so... so pretty."
"Xiao Ling's personality is relatively solitary, and he is notoriously difficult to deal with, unreasonable."
Lin Zhen giggled, looking quite proud, he slurred his words: "He's like this, it's pretty good...hehehehe, I don't worry if he's like this... I don't worry that he has provoked... whoever he has provoked in the heavens... gone."
After all, he drank a lot of wine, and Yan Jing was not so sensitive. Only now did he realize that Lin Zhen was so drunk that he started to tell the truth after drinking.
Yan Jing deliberately teased him, saying: "Who said there is no, I don't know how many goddesses admire him."
"That's different! Adoring...hiccup...admiring him, and he doesn't like them!"
Lin Zhen looked at Yan Jing angrily, her deep black eyes were bright, this Lin Zhen was like a child.
Yan Jing couldn't help laughing, and got playful after drinking, and continued to tease Lin Zhen: "Well, yes, I don't like them. But Xiao Ling and Suzaku in Siling have a good friendship, maybe after you return from me, It turns out that Xiao Ling is already with Suzaku."
After Yan Jing said this, it took a while for Lin Zhen to understand what he said. He had a sad expression on his face, his brows were tightly frowned, and the corners of his eyes were drooping, looking very disappointed.
Seeing his expression, Yan Jing somewhat regretted making this joke.
However, Lin Zhen raised his head suddenly, and then stood up abruptly, pointing angrily at the roof, and said with a big tongue: "Wait...after I become very powerful...I, I, I will go and pull out all the clothes. That what... what Suzaku or sparrow's feather... snatch, grab, snatch Xiao Ling here! Hmph... who am I... I am... my father is Ye Yu! Dare... dare to snatch my junior brother... You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
As he said that, he laughed sinisterly, and even hiccupped: "Xiao Ling... hiccup... Xiao Ling, he dared to run away with others... Hehehehe...Seeing that I'm out, don't take care of him Hehehehe, I want to engrave Lin Zhen on his back and Duli on his chest, so that... let him dare to run with others!"
Yan Jing was so startled by Lin Zhen's words that he forgot to put down his wine glass.
"I..." Lin Zhen didn't stand for a long time, his head was dizzy, his feet staggered, and he fell down. He didn't feel the pain, but fell asleep instead.
