Lanke Chess Edge

I remember that after participating in the Long Jun birthday banquet, Ji Yuan was rafting along the Tongtian River during the severe winter, and once had a speed competition with a Xiaofu building ship.

Different from Lao Gui’s direct bearing of bad karma, which has a huge impact on his practice, the Xiao family just wandered around in the mortal officialdom, and did not touch things like cultivating immortals and cultivating the law, but their impact on themselves was not as exaggerated as Lao Gui’s.

After all, officials are the sword of imperial power. Relatively speaking, Dazhen Guozuo has also undertaken a lot of bad karma. It is such a big thing to kill the hero. The disease is short-lived, but it will be sour after death.

Although the things in the mouth of the old turtle have passed 170 to 80 years, if the Xiao family's tactics were not liquidated afterwards, it is still possible that they would still occupy a place in the court after the ups and downs.

The idea of ​​​​the fate is just like this, and the narration of the old turtle continues.

"Among those who founded the country back then, there were some rebellious people. The old emperor could hold down everyone while he was still alive, but once the old emperor dies, the new emperor may not be able to control the court. The emperor has decided to avoid future troubles."

The old turtle looked up at Mr. Ji, saw the thoughtful look on his face, paused and waited for Mr. Ji to look at him before continuing.

"After all, I am just a monster nesting in the Chunmu River. It is impossible to know everything about the court, but I also know the cause of the incident. In the thirty-second year of Liyuan, Xiao Jing was in the palace at the behest of the old emperor. On the New Year’s Eve, a banquet was set up, and some of the old ministers were arrogant and military officials to fight with the prince and the princes…”

"Even among the princes, even those with outstanding alcohol intake have already been told by the old emperor that they are only allowed to lose but not to win. Some princes who did not know about it thought it was the father and the emperor who were afraid of hurting the old minister's face. The result is self-evident. For a while, another official from the Censor's Desk deliberately ridiculed the old officials for not giving the prince face, citing one of the old officials to make a rude remark. During the annual banquet, except for a few brilliant people, others thought it was just a joke, but in fact it was the prelude to the tragedy. …”

After that, the description of the old turtle was more general. After all, he was not a person in the court and the public. After that, there were fewer people who dared to talk about this matter, and there was naturally less news that could be heard from the Chunmu River.

Moreover, the old turtle has already known that it is not good. If he wants to completely cut off the ties with the Xiao family, he is afraid to measure the matter. He only occasionally hears some literati who have private meetings with close friends on some painting boats. One tragedy after another.

In the next two or three years, the old turtle felt that the evil karma had reached its peak, and then finally began to ease, and also knew that the tragedy was coming to an end.

Sure enough, in the thirty-sixth year of Liyuan, the new emperor ascended the throne, with the trend of sweeping the world to "settle the chaos and investigate the traitors", and returned a belated justice to a few Zhongliang, and the old emperor died at the end of the year.

"This incident has made me tremblingly hid in a cliff and water cave somewhere in the Chunmu River for many years, for fear that an accident will bring doom, even if there is no thunder, I will not dare to move too much in rainy days, and I even dare not practice diligently..."

The old tortoise was very embarrassed, and Ji Yuan was also emotional when he heard it.

And the expression of hiding after the old turtle may seem to many monsters that he is too afraid. You must know that many monsters who eat people without blinking are not afraid of thunder and lightning, but Ji Fate understands a little.

Because of the special talent of the old turtle, he sees cultivation farther than ordinary monsters, and he is more afraid of the occurrence of some small probability events, and he is afraid of the big terror in small probability events.

This story begins at sunset and ends just before dawn, and the morning sun seems to reveal the blood in the story.

After the old turtle finished speaking, he kept his mouth shut and floated on the river. The big herring just swam quietly beside him, and the red fox lay on the ground without saying a word. He also had a deep impression of the terrifying battle in the court. Some I was frightened, and even started to worry about Yin Qing's father, and worried that if Yin Qing became an official in the future, it would be very dangerous.

It is dawn now, the gate of Chunhui House is about to open, and there are already merchants or farmers going to the market in the distance coming towards the gate, and a queue has begun to form in front of the gate.

Ji Yuan was silent for a while, then looked at the scene and said something.

"If you want to make this story into a book, you won't be able to let the storyteller tell it if you don't change it..."

Whether it is a person or a demon, or a marketplace or a court, true harmony is difficult, or almost impossible.

Ji Yuan actually hopes to spread some meaningful stories through storytellers, the meaning of human beings, the meaning of demons, or other, in addition to sharing a little after-dinner welfare for the world with very little entertainment life, there is also a Mature little ideal.

After sighing this sentence, Ji Yuan looked at the three spirits around, and finally looked at the old turtle Wu Chong.

"Your luck is indeed not very good, and it also shows that you should not use your supernatural power to stir up any crooked ideas. Over the years, every time you think too much, you will suffer from it, but there are still opportunities. Live in peace later."

"Mr. Ji taught me a lesson! Master Jiang Shen also said something similar."

"Ha ha."

Ji Yuan smiled and said strangely to the three spirits beside him.

"You don't have to be too afraid of the hardships and obstacles of cultivation. Although it is extremely difficult to start from scratch with a beast, once you succeed in cultivation, at least you will accumulate more than those monsters who have transformed monster parents."

Ji Yuan stood up and picked up the fishing rod on the ground. Seeing that the length was inconvenient to put in his sleeve, it was not convenient to carry it outside into the city, so he threw it on the back of the old turtle.

"Hold the rod for me, and pick it up when I leave."

The old turtle naturally agreed to take orders, and after Ji Yuan said this, he took a step towards the city gate, ready to queue up there to enter the city.

Hu Yun quickly followed, trying to hide in the shadow of Ji Yuan, and asked him in a low voice.

"Mr. Ji, did we go to the inn to check out our luggage and then go back?"

Ji Yuan nodded and shook his head.

"Go check out and get your luggage first, otherwise it will be another day after noon, and then go to the garden shop again."

"Yuanzipu? What is that place?"

Ji Yuan took out an old wine bottle from his sleeve and raised it towards Hu Yunyang. This was the first bottle of Qian Richun he bought back then. Later, he also filled some other wines of different quality, even ambergris. This is wine.

"A thousand days of spring?"

"Yes, it's a place that specializes in brewing and selling Qian Riharu. If you come across it, just go there."

. . .

After lining up to enter the city, he took Hu Yunxiang to the inn to check out the room to get the deposit, and then walked around the city, arriving on the street where Yuanzipu was located before noon.

It's still the same store, it's still the same kind of furnishings, and it still doesn't look like much business as before, and the shopkeepers are sitting or chatting in twos and threes, and they don't look very busy.

The busiest time for Yuanzipu is in spring, because new wine is to be brewed, and autumn is relatively leisurely, especially now that it is near noon, wine transporters will not come to the door at this time.

The shopkeeper Zhuo Tao was counting the accounts in front of a ledger, and after accounting for one of the accounts, he adjusted the abacus back and forth, and then closed the accounts with a smile on his face.

The Zhuo family has always adhered to the principle of brewing, never leaving the Chunhui House. They only charge for the first wine, and do not interfere in the second and third sales. With the support of the state government for Yuanzipu, the business has been smooth over the years. There are few twists and turns.

"Cough...cough...cough...cough..."

Shopkeeper Zhuo coughed a few times, and then coughed uncontrollably for a while before stopping. He quickly picked up a small purple clay pot on the side and took a few sips from the mouth of the pot, and finally calmed down and wanted to cough again. momentum.

Some guys on the side looked at him and asked a question with concern.

"The shopkeeper, are you alright, go see the doctor again, I've been coughing for more than a month!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I've seen the doctor a long time ago, and it's just a cold."

This accountant also stepped into the garden shop, and behind the counter was the same shopkeeper, just a little bit older.

Seeing Ji Yuan come in, the people in the shop subconsciously looked at him a few times. Because of the use of the blindfold method, Ji Yuan's eyes are like ordinary people, so he looks like a gentleman.

Shopkeeper Zhuo was just an ordinary person. Although he was deeply impressed by Ji Yuan at the beginning, he naturally couldn't recognize him after so many years.

"This guest officer, are you planning to order wine?"

Generally, the people who come to Yuanzi Shop are to order wine. According to the number of big jars and trucks, there are also people who book new wines for the coming year. Very few people really come here to retail, but if they come to buy, Yuanzi Shop will not refuse.

Ji Yuan didn't reply first, but went to the counter to look at Zhuo Tao. It was true that he just caught the cold, and a cold air accumulated in his chest and lungs, and it would dissipate after a half-month of warmth.

This kind of disease can also be cured by fate. When he took out the wine bottle from his sleeve, he flicked his sleeve, and the cold air in Zhuo Tao's chest and lungs was swept away.

However, no one else saw this small gesture, and they were only attracted by the old wine jug that Ji Yuan took out.

"Shopkeeper, I have an old wine jug, how much is it to fill with new wine?"

Shopkeeper Zhuo took a closer look at the pottery jug. The appearance is not dull, but there are some small bumps on the bottle. Obviously, the frequency of use is not low, and the style should be an old one a few years ago. Now a new cellar is opened. The jugs have changed.

In any case, seeing such an old jug and meeting someone who might be an old drinker of Qian Richun, Manager Zhuo was quite happy.

"The price hasn't gone up. You're a one-pound pot, and if you fill it up, you'll get 800 yuan."

Ji Yuan nodded and asked suddenly.

"The shopkeeper, do you bring your own jugs to fill a pound of 800 wen? A jug is only two hundred wen so much?"

Shopkeeper Zhuo wanted to take a purple sand pot to moisten his throat, but after a while he didn't feel like he wanted to cough, so he put his hand away, feeling that Ji Yuan's bearing was extraordinary, and he also got a little interested to chat with Ji Yuan a little more.

"Actually, it wasn't in the past. As you said, guest officer, how can a bottle of wine be worth two hundred wen."

"Then why?"

"Hey, there's actually nothing to say about this. In order to curry favor with a special drinker, I deliberately sold good old wine at a low price, and I also traded off a jug for 200 cents. This shop guy is familiar with some people. Everyone knows that after that time, those who came to the shop to bring their own one-pound pot to make wine only received eight hundred wen."

Ji Yuan smiled.

"Yo, does the shopkeeper treat them equally? That's a lot of money, you're in business!"

The shopkeeper also laughed "hehe".

"Although Zhuo is not a literati and chivalrous person, he is still a bit conceited. Besides, he is not a dignitary. Who is an ordinary person who drinks Qianrichun every day? Fewer people come to this shop to drink... Besides, let's do it. Don't make a sound!"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Ji Yuan smiled in admiration, and took out two taels of silver from his sleeve.

"The shopkeeper is still shrewd! Take a pot of new bar, this is two taels."

This is a bit strange, isn't this person drinking from an old bottle?

But since the man himself said so, Zhuo Tao did the same, took a new bottle of wine from the counter, weighed the silver before handing it over to Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan took the bottle and turned around and left. When he was about to step out of the shop, Zhuo Tao realized that the old bottle was still on the counter and hurriedly shouted.

"Guest officer, your wine bottle is still there!"

The white-shirted guest in front waved his hand. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Send it to you!"

Zhuo Tao was dumbfounded and looked down at the broken bottle. What did he want this jug for? The most important thing in Yuanzipu was this kind of thing.

But when he looked up again, the white-shirted guest who had just walked to the door was nowhere to be seen.

'Walk so fast?'

Zhuo Tao walked out of the counter, walked to the door and looked around. The street was shadowed from near to far, and he couldn't see where the man was, so he had to go back to the counter.

The shop assistant at the counter asked with a smile.

"The shopkeeper, what should I do with this bottle?"

"What else can I do, I lost it."

The shop assistant said "Oh", picked up the bottle and looked up and down, subconsciously unplugged the bottle, and a faint fragrance wafted with a freshness, which made the people nearby feel refreshed.
