Xiang Yun suddenly said, "If only there was wine!"
A strange light suddenly flashed inside the tree hole, and the smell of wine a.s.saulted his nostrils. Xiang Yun, who had been lying on his back inside the tree hole, abruptly flipped and sat up.
The tip of his nose moved as he followed the aroma of the wine to turn his head. He saw Luo He looking at him with a smile. Beside the latter was an opened wine jar. The intoxicating fragrance of the wine came from within.
"Brother Wei, this is an aged Osmanthus Blossom Burn. Would you like to try it?" Luo He patted the mouth of the wine jar as a playful smile appeared on her face.
"I still have a lot of jars in my storage ring." Luo He replied with a smile.
"Then why didn't you take it out earlier?" Xiang Yun's face was filled with astonishment. Along the way, he had complained more than once that he wanted to drink wine, but the latter had actually hidden the entire way.
But Luo He confidently said, "It's not like you asked me for it, and I didn't want to drink it. I saw the moonlight today, so I wanted to drink it."
With the beautiful scenery before him, Xiang Yun could no longer wait. He wanted to have a taste of this aged osmanthus wine. The journey had been arduous and tiring, but there was no wine. He held it in until it was unbearable.
At this moment, Luo He took out two jade wine cups and poured two of them into a cup. She pa.s.sed one to Xiang Yun and held the other in her hands.
Xiang Yun impatiently took the wine cup and sniffed at it. Immediately, his eyes lit up, the wine was mellow and rich but not greasy, the wine was viscous and crystal clear. Just from the color and fragrance alone, it could already be considered high grade.
Soon after, Xiang Yun lowered his head slightly and took a light sip. First, he spread the wine evenly on his tongue before bringing it along with him as he slid it down his throat and into his stomach!
"En …" Xiang Yun smacked his lips. After pondering for a while, he finally stuck out his thumb, clicking his tongue as he praised.
"Tsk tsk, sweet and sour, mellow and soft, with a lingering fragrance. More importantly, the combination of the aroma of the wine and the scent of the flowers has reached an impeccable level. This is definitely the work of a wine brewer!"
Brother Wei, I didn't expect you to have such great attainments in this field of wine. This wine is indeed aged over 120 years and was created by a wine brewing master.
"However, whether a wine tastes good or not has nothing to do with how old it is or whether it is brewed by a master!" Xiang Yun said.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Luo He's face revealed an expression of suspicion as she asked, "The quality of the wine, if it has nothing to do with these two points, then what does it have to do with anything? Is Brother Wei joking?"
At this moment, Luo He was like Xiang Yun to the Dao of Wine, Xiang Yun to the Dao of Sword, Luo He! The relations.h.i.+p between a student and a teacher.
Speaking of wine, Xiang Yun's knowledge of wine in his previous life had mostly been based on theoretical knowledge. Back in university, he had taken the Chinese wine culture as an elective course.
And in this lifetime, as a descendant of the imperial family, he didn't have to worry about food or clothing, and he had tasted all the fine wine in the world.
Knowledge was one, theory was combined with practice, Xiang Yun had gained his own understanding of wine.
He kindly said to Luo He, "In terms of quality, the quality of the wine is only secondary. What really matters is the mood of the people who drink it and who they drink with!"
If the person who drank the wine was sad and depressed, then even if he drank the Jade Dew Beautiful Wine, it would be like drinking ice and wax; he wouldn't know how beautiful it was.
If the drinker, the heart care for the lover, even if the wine flavor, wine into the melancholy, but only into a little love tears.
On the other hand, if the person who drank the wine was in good spirits at the right time, then it would be like drinking wine and making people feel good about their drinking, even if it was the roughest and most spicy sorghum wine in the alleyway.
Luo He seemed to have understood his words and instantly felt that her words made sense. She asked with interest, "Then what does the person who drank with him have to do with drinking? Could he be different from the person who drank with me, and the taste of alcohol in his mouth would also be different?"
"Of course!" Xiang Yun nodded affirmatively.
"As the saying goes, 'The way is different, the way is not the same.' Those who don't get along with each other drink the wine. Although the wine is excellent, they feel as if their words are stuck in their throats, unable to satisfy themselves."
"Even if they forced a smile onto their faces and switched toasts, that would only be hypocritical pleasantries. After a round of wine, they would actually feel mentally exhausted, and thus, there is naturally no need to even mention the taste of wine."
"However, if you drink with friends you're on the same side as, or friends you don't know, you're drunk, but you're also drunk and in a good mood. That's a good wine that's worth a thousand gold!"
As Xiang Yun spoke, he looked at Luo He and said, "Just like this vast and uninhabited forest, Brother Luo He and I are able to stand at the peak of this ancient forest. With this starry moon before our eyes and this wine in our hands, how can it not be beautiful?"
When Luo He heard these words, her heart skipped a beat as she nervously glanced at Xiang Yun. The latter's words of 'beauty' caused him to feel a little guilty. He thought that Xiang Yun had seen through something.
Xiang Yun, on the other hand, had not noticed Luo He's strange expression. After he had told Luo He of his experiences in the Dao of wine, he raised his gla.s.s to Luo He and spoke heroically.
"The so-called 'knowing one's own cup of wine when meeting another, talking too little'!" Brother Luo He, tonight we will have wine, tonight we will have the scenery, tonight there will be people around, so why not get drunk? "
"Knowing one's own cup of wine at a time of crisis is too little, you can't talk too much!"
All of a sudden, Luo He, who had not been fond of drinking at first, also became somewhat interested. She toasted Xiang Yun, who was drinking with great enthusiasm and claiming that it was wonderful.
Beside him, Luo He gulped down a cup of wine. She also felt that the wine today was quite tasty!
Luo He quickly reached out her hand to stop him, "Brother Wei, although this wine is good, you can't be greedy."
However, Xiang Yun actually smiled and shook his head as he said, "Brother Luo He, you're wrong. We didn't want to get to know each other at first, but we ended up meeting each other in the forbidden grounds of this world. The so-called 'we're both from the ends of the earth'. Why would we get to know each other before?!" The second cup is for us two fallen men, cheers! "
The moment Xiang Yun said this, Luo He was once again shocked. 'We're both people who have fallen from the heaven to the ends of the earth. Why must we have known each other before?'
This sentence was even more distant from the concept of meeting someone on intimate terms than the one from before. It was truly a wonderful phrase.
For the sake of this sentence, he could not refuse this goblet of wine!
Luo He rarely drank alcohol and was also a person who did not like alcohol. After eating two cups of wine, her face had turned slightly red and her head felt dizzy.
Now that his cultivation was suppressed by the Yellow Cloud Realm, he was unable to release the cloud energy. Naturally, he did not have the ability to dissipate the wine energy within his body.
However, Xiang Yun was currently intoxicated from the wine. It was rare for someone like Luo He to be so interested in him, so how could he possibly stop just like that?
He directly poured another cup of osmanthus wine for Luo He and advised, "Brother Luo He, it's only been two cups and you're already drunk. It seems that your alcohol tolerance really isn't good."
"Hah!"
Luo He had no choice but to refuse. Adding to Xiang Yun's mystifying words, he immediately felt that he could not afford to refuse this goblet of wine either.
At this moment, Luo He could only raise her cup once more and toast Xiang Yun three times in a row!
After drinking three cups of wine, Luo He instantly felt her entire body heating up, her cheeks boiling hot. It was as though a ball of fire was burning within her body, causing her to feel extremely dizzy.
Even though aged wine was fragrant, it was still intoxicating. Even Xiang Yun, who called himself a person from the wine path, had a slightly flushed face and felt a little tipsy.
Xiang Yun turned to look at Luo He, whose face was completely red. He could not hold back his laughter any longer!
"Haha, Brother Luo He, I guess I can't beat you in a battle of swords. If I were to fight with wine, you'd be far from being my match!"
He suddenly sneered and raised his arm, twirling it in the air as he pursed his lips.
"Humph, who said I can't beat you. It's just drinking. Whoever's afraid of you, pour me a cup of wine!"
Hearing Luo He's drunken speech, Xiang Yun couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling greatly amused. At the same time, he poured him another cup of wine. The two of them raised their cups and drank together once more!
Xiang Yun naturally did as he was told and filled Luo He's cup once more. The two of them drank a full seven or eight cups of wine just like that, and even Xiang Yun felt his body sway a little as his head spun. He had obviously drunk too much.
Luo He, who was at the side, instead slammed the wine cup in her hand heavily onto the ground!
"Full!"
His cheeks were flushed red. Leaning against the stone wall, the drunk Luo He instantly opened her hazy eyes and laughed loudly!
"Haha, Brother Wei, look, you can't take it anymore. I can still drink with you!"
As though to prove his ability to drink, Luo He actually stretched out her hands and lifted up the jar of wine beside her. Raising her head high, she ruthlessly gulped it down.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yun couldn't help but give Luo He a thumbs up!
"Brother Luo He, awesome!"
Perhaps he was drunk as well, but Xiang Yun had not realized that Luo He's laughter and voice had completely changed. It had actually changed to a woman's soft and gentle voice.
At this moment, the heavily drunk Xiang Yun also picked up the jar. With one hand on the ground, he propped himself up shakily from the ground, leaving only half a jar of osmanthus wine.
He picked up the wine jar and gulped down the wine!
Xiang Yun held onto the wine jug with both hands as he took seven turns and eight kicks, staggering and staggering. His stance was simply several times more enchanting than when he was using the Divine Transformations Movement Technique.
"Ugh!"
Xiang Yun burped and tilted his head upwards, only to see a bright moon and a myriad of stars hanging high in the sky.
The night sky was charming and the scenery was captivating. The latter could not help but burst with poetry as he immediately raised his head to sing loudly!
For example, in the morning dew, the days were much more bitter.
One should never forget his sorrow.
How could he solve this problem? Du Kang is the only one. "
"Alright!"
Just as Xiang Yun had finished singing this poem, a burst of applause rang out from behind him, as well as a woman's loud cheers!
