Da Zheng Peak, Wan Yao Cave. "Hahaha, my dear brother is here!" Linghu Jiu laughed, walked out of the cave, took Ning Zhuo's arm and entered the cave. After the negotiation, Wan Yao Sect, Ning Family, Zhu Family and Linlang Yingzhao Wall formed a secret alliance, which made Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo closer. Linghu Jiu himself had a lot of good feelings for Ning Zhuo, and now the alliance was close, so the former completely regarded the latter as his own. Ning Zhuo walked into the cave and found Lin Shanshan there. "Miss Lin." He saluted quickly. Lin Shanshan also smiled at Ning Zhuo. Although she complained about Ning Zhuo's recent actions, after Linghu Jiu's invitation, she also knew that this was a farewell banquet for Ning Zhuo, so she attended the banquet with mixed feelings. The dishes in the banquet were very exquisite, all selected by Lin Shanshan herself. But Linghu Jiu and Ning Zhuo's thoughts were not here. Linghu Jiu brought a wine jar and showed it to Ning Zhuo with great interest: "This is the wine I brewed myself with the water from Taohuatan."
"Taohuatan?" Ning Zhuo asked and realized that this deep pool was the one near Wan Yao Cave, under the waterfall. Lin Shanshan introduced: "Every year at a fixed time, the peach blossom forest upstream is in full bloom, and the peach blossoms drift in the wind, along the water flow and waterfall, and finally merge into the deep pool. The peach blossoms and the pool water are reflected in each other, and the drifting peach blossoms dance with the wind, and thousands of red and purple fall into the water. The sound of the white waterfall is like a piano, and the flower face jade pool reflects the blue sky." Ning Zhuo smiled at Lin Shanshan and said: "Today I know that the deep pool where Miss Lin and I met for the first time is called Taohuatan." Lin Shanshan was startled by these words, and her thoughts seemed to return to the scene when she and Ning Zhuo met for the first time. Time flies, and so many days have passed! Time flies too fast. In the blink of an eye, they are about to separate. Suddenly, a feeling of reluctance to leave rippled in Lin Shanshan's heart, and her resentment towards Ning Zhuo instantly dissipated countless. Linghu Jiu began to pour the wine while proudly introducing: "I'll let you know that this wine is called Peach Blossom Three Thousand." "It is made from peach blossom petals during the spring equinox every year, and the clear spring under the Peach Blossom Pond, plus my special wine yeast, brewed using ancient methods, and fermented for at least three years before it can be considered a small success." Ning Zhuo looked intently and saw that Peach Blossom Three Thousand was crystal clear with a slight pink tint, just like a newly blooming peach blossom. When poured into the wine bowl, the wine was clear and slightly rippled, as if it was the deep peach blossom pond. He raised the wine bowl, clinked glasses with Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan, and took a sip, feeling strange. Peach Blossom Three Thousand brings a unique sweetness, as if biting off a fresh peach blossom, with a hint of elegant floral fragrance in the sweetness. Then, the wine spread on the tip of the tongue, full and mellow, with a hint of cool pond water, which is endless aftertaste. Ning Zhuo shook his head and praised immediately: "Good wine, the wine tastes delicate and long, it has the mellowness of aged wine, and it does not lose the fresh and elegant floral fragrance. The wine is moderate, and I am intoxicated by it without realizing it." Linghu Jiu laughed: "The wine is just ordinary, but I added something to the wine to make it presentable." Ning Zhuo's mind flashed, and he blurted out: "Could it be the ten thousand year water essence?" Linghu Jiu laughed and clapped his hands: "My dear brother is smart, he understood it at once." Ning Zhuo was speechless.
Before, he rented two ten thousand year water essences from Wanyaomen, and was still wondering where Linghu Jiu's share went. As the first disciple, Linghu Jiu was the first candidate for the future leader. It was very strange that he did not take out the ten thousand year water essence, which was very useful to the entire Wanyaomen. Unexpectedly, he actually used it to make wine! Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "Wine, wine, wine, all you know is drinking all day. Do you know that my father is very disappointed with you, my senior brother, for this matter!" Linghu Jiu touched his nose, laughed awkwardly, and said: "Shanshan, you don't understand. Why did your father name me Linghu Jiu? He was a man of far-sightedness, so he naturally knew the importance of wine to me, so he specially enlightened me." "Haha, Master didn't force me to hand over the Ten Thousand Years Water Essence, so he agreed with my choice. It's useless for you to say anything more." This made Lin Shanshan roll her eyes. Ning Zhuo quickly raised the wine bowl, clinked glasses with the two, and said a few funny words to ease the atmosphere. After a while of toasting, Ning Zhuo looked at Linghu Jiu and Lin Shanshan with a sincere look, and sighed: "Brother Linghu is like a deep pool, with high moral character, absorbing waterfalls without overflowing, deep and steady, he is my confidant in wine." "Miss Lin is as beautiful as peach blossoms, charming and charming, and helpful and kind-hearted. I was reckless in the past, kidnapped Miss Lin, and have been dealing with your father. I feel really guilty." Lin Shanshan snorted coldly: "After hearing this, I think you still have some conscience." Linghu Jiu laughed: "It is common for each of us to fight for our own master and interests. Fighting without breaking, fighting in peace, and ending up in the secret alliance today is the best result. This is our fate and the result of our respective efforts." Ning Zhuo was even more moved when he heard this. He knew very well that during the difficult negotiations in the past, Linghu Jiu not only protected his own interests, but also tried his best to help him, build relationships, and comfort Lin Bufan many times. On the contrary, Lin Shanshan, the girl who helped Ning Zhuo a lot in the past, was like a sharp sword when she interrupted Ning Zhuo during the negotiations. Under the noses of the sages and dharma bodies, and in front of Zhu Xuanji, Shen Lingshu, and Lin Bufan, Ning Zhuo was not so bold as to use the supernatural power of hanging human lives. But he understood Lin Shanshan very well. Fortunately, the results are good. Now that the negotiations have come to fruition, the relationship between Wanyaomen and the Ning family has never been closer, and the relationship between Ning Zhuo, Lin Shanshan, and Linghujiu has also been locked at a very high limit. "Come, drink!" Ning Zhuo raised the wine bowl again. Linghujiu laughed. Lin Shanshan remained silent and raised her wine bowl in response. The three of them tasted wine and talked about the future. Ning Zhuo asked Linghujiu about Linlang's feelings about killing the demon reflected in the wall. In the past few days, Linghu Jiu was still "confined" in the Ten Thousand Monster Cave, but in fact, his true body often secretly went to the quasi-immortal weapon to engage in life-and-death battles with many monsters. Linghu Jiu was very talkative, talking about the dangers of war, but he was very hardworking on himself, and he could clearly feel that his combat power was increasing day by day. What was once like rough stone is now polished. Under the huge external pressure, various spells, sword skills, etc. were severely compressed, resulting in a lot of insights, eliminating many useless moves, and the battle rhythm became faster and faster. "It's a pity that my dear brother has other things to do and is in a hurry to leave the valley. Otherwise, it would be a happy life for us to kill monsters side by side and drink together after the battle!" Ning Zhuo was very moved by what he said. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he sighed: "If I have time in the future, I will definitely practice with Brother Xian. I feel so happy just thinking about it now!" "
Linghujiu laughed loudly and drank three big bowls with Ning Zhuo. Lin Shanshan:...... At this moment, she suddenly felt that she was a little redundant. Linghujiu's face turned red, he breathed the smell of alcohol, and held Ning Zhuo's arm: "Brother Xian, before I leave, I must leave your image." "In the future, when I miss my wise brother, I will talk to the image, so that I can ease my worry about my wise brother." "Brother Yu can also bring his image with him to kill enemies and monsters many times. In the future when brother Xian returns to the valley, you may be greatly surprised by the rich loot, hahaha." Ning Zhuo nodded repeatedly: "This is exactly what I have in mind!" Lin Shanshan: "However, senior brother, it seems that you don't have much time to stay in the valley. I heard my father accidentally mention that he wants you to personally lead the team to Fire Persimmon City to survey the battlefield in advance." Linghujiu's smile faded slightly and he sat down again. He looked at the two of them and nodded, "Master did reveal this idea to me." Linghujiu was always punished by Lin Bufan. The real reason was that Lin Bufan wanted to use this to penetrate the Linlang Reflecting Wall. By the way, by punishing Linghu Jiu for shielding his fellow juniors and juniors, the reputation and popularity of the first disciple were boosted. Now, Linghujiu knows the truth, and Lin Bufan also deeply realizes that the importance of the quasi-immortal weapon cannot be planned by him alone. In addition, in the covenant, Ning Zhuo had already negotiated terms with Lin Bufan and successfully invited Lin Bufan to the Fire Persimmon Fairy City to help out! That's right. In the next period of time, Lin Bufan will actively prepare for the war and help Ning Jiufan and Yuan Lao to fight for the Ten Thousand Years Fire Essence. As for Grandma Yuan's injury, it has been taken over by the royal Zhu family and they are doing their best to heal it as soon as possible. Linghujiu said in a deep voice: "This battle needs to be done with caution. If it is not handled properly and Grandma Yuan of the Ning family is damaged, then the Ning family and the royal family's control over Fire Persimmon City and Lava Immortal Palace will be weakened by half. ” After the alliance was formed, the Wanyao Sect also had a true understanding of the layout of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City. But it's not quite complete. Ning Zhuo's preservation of the dragon fire spirit has always been a secret, and even Ning Yifan doesn't know about it. Regarding Ning Zhuo's secret possession of my Buddha Heart Demonic Seal, Zhu Xuanji also took the initiative to keep this secret, and only a limited number of people, including the King of Nandou, knew about it. "I have decided to go to the Fire Persimmon Immortal City." Linghu Jiu said, "My dear brother, why do you teach me?" Ning Zhuo smiled and was well prepared. He handed over a jade slip, which contained detailed information about the Fire Persimmon Immortal City and the Lava Immortal Palace. Linghujiu's spiritual sense penetrated and found that a lot of information was clearer, especially the understanding of the Lava Immortal Palace, which was very in-depth, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. "With this jade slip, I have succeeded in most of my exploration of the battlefield. Thank you very much, dear brother!" Ning Zhuo waved his hands quickly and said a few words of humility. He turned his head, looked at Lin Shanshan, and asked the latter to help take care of Lingyin Liu. He would send letters from time to time, begging Lin Shanshan to reply and inform Lingyin Liu of its status. Lin Shanshan nodded and agreed. Ning Zhuo watched her words carefully and saw that she was in a good mood, so he took the next step and said: "That Huaguzi specializes in wood walking skills. I will arrange for her to be stationed here. On the one hand, it means that I will also take care of Lingyin Liu, and on the other hand, it will help my people to be successful." Stationed at Xiaozhengfeng.”
Lin Shanshan frowned immediately. "Hua Guzi?" She didn't have much affection for this crazy woman. Ning Zhuo showed a hint of sarcasm: "This female cultivator has a weird temperament. She is extremely...close to me and wants to rely on me. If I don't find something for her to do, I'm afraid she will search for me all over the world." "And she is very powerful. Not only is she capable of fighting, but she is also proficient in cooking." "Oh, I asked her for advice at the beginning, and then I learned that Yousi Mingjiang is fake wine." Having said this, Linghujiu immediately spoke up and defended his mentor: "My dear brother, this is wrong. Yousi Mingniang is definitely not a fake wine." "It has a unique taste and is a fine wine, but the recipe is not outstanding." "It does allow me to communicate more conveniently with the dharma bodies of the sages in the wall. Didn't my brother Ning Zhuo benefit from it?" Ning Zhuo had no intention of arguing with Linghu Jiu, so he immediately raised his wine bowl: "I made a mistake, so I'll drink a glass as a punishment!" Lin Shanshan smiled and gritted her teeth and said: "You deserve it." Linghu Jiu laughed and pointed at Ning Zhuo: "Is this a punishment or a reward?" In this way, a farewell banquet was held, and both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves.
