Chapter 626

The next day.

The temple bell was melodious.

Liang Qu didn't move and went to Jinxiu Valley with his fellow apprentices as usual.

Early winter.

The whole Mount Lushan was very desolate. Although the ancient trees had fallen leaves, they were dark green and didn't see the vitality of spring.

Only Jinxiu Valley had a stream running through it, gurgling and flowing. Entering it, the temperature warmed up significantly, and there were still various colors in the valley, and even flowers that didn't wither, colorful and bright.

Everyone stepped on the rocks, jumped from the cliffs, and landed lightly on the bottom of the valley.

Roar, roar!

Strangers broke in.

Macaques all over the mountains and plains jumped up and down, shuttling and jumping between the treetops, throwing wooden sticks and stones.

In the middle, there were several spirit monsters, raising their hands to throw rocks the size of human heads, but their aim was not good, smashing into the stream and splashing water a zhang high.

Boom.

Yang Dongxiong released his power slightly, and the monkey group fled and collapsed.

Several little macaques were panicked and didn't grab the vines firmly, falling from the air, screaming and leaving while covering their red and swollen buttocks.

"Hey, there's a bold one."

Xu Zishuai had sharp eyes and pointed to an old macaque with long eyebrows in the jungle.

The old macaque was stared at by everyone, its hunched body curled up, but it refused to leave, raising its hands high, as if putting them together to beg for mercy.

Everyone was curious.

Immediately, under the gaze of many eyes, the old macaque moved its limbs, came to Liang Qu's side little by little, squatted on the ground, gestured with both hands, pointed to the forest, then took two steps, and looked back repeatedly.

It really had the flavor of a storybook.

Ke Wenbin crossed his arms and supported his chin: "Does it want Ashui to follow?"

Xu Zishuai looked around: "We didn't fall into the water, did we?"

"Follow, follow, let's go see."

Everyone started to boo.

High skill makes one bold.

Seeing such a bizarre plot in a storybook for the first time, they must join in the fun.

What a clever old monkey.

Liang Qu stepped forward to follow.

The old macaque was overjoyed and walked slowly on all fours, but seeing that everyone could keep up, its speed became faster and faster.

Walked more than two miles of mountain road.

Dense forest on the east side of Jinxiu Valley.

The old macaque first looked for an old bamboo, broke the bamboo joint, knocked open the bamboo membrane, buckled the broken wood chips on the edge, washed it in the stream, made a gesture of drinking water, and then ran to an ancient tree that needed two people to hug, climbing up and down.

Everyone didn't understand what it meant.

The whole big tree was just an ordinary ancient tree, with nothing special.

Xu Zishuai pondered: "Could it be monkey wine?"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Monkey wine that is worth a thousand gold.

Good treasure!

Closing

Closing

Saw it in a book before, saying Mount Huangshan has many apes, picking various fruits in spring and summer

Rare and hard to find."

Xu Zishuai said: "Why don't we open a hole in the tree and try? I remember that monkeys use hollow trees to store hundreds of fruits. The top is sealed, and the wine liquid is all stored at the bottom. Let's dig a small hole and let it all flow out."

Yang Xu suggested: "In this way, we must first make two more wine vessels with bamboo tubes, so as not to be unable to catch it and waste it when it is opened."

"Makes sense."

Everyone came to the bamboo forest that the old macaque had passed before and simply made a large number of bamboo tube wine vessels.

Everything is ready.

Liang Qu drew his Green Wolf, inserted it into the ancient tree, and didn't pull it out. A faint wine fragrance wafted.

Everyone was refreshed.

Xu Zishuai urged: "Quick, quick, quick!"

Liang Qu turned his wrist and turned out a small hole with a dagger. Without picking it out, the pressure inside directly pushed out the small round lid.

Xu Zishuai was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing it first without spilling a drop.

Slurp, slurp.

The golden trickle flowed out, and the rich fruit wine fragrance exploded directly, as if hot oil had been poured on dried chili peppers.

Different from ordinary wine, the wine liquid in the tree was not pungent at all, and had an extremely rich fruit fragrance!

Tatta Kai smelled the fragrance, leaning on a stick, its head dizzy, and several little river otters closed their eyes and hiccuped repeatedly.

The one that reacted the most was staggering, bumping into several people with its head, and fell on Long Eying's instep, hugging it tightly, refusing to let go.

"Full, full! Change the tube for me, change the tube for me!"

Xu Zishuai shouted.

Cao Rang changed it immediately, and the first bamboo tube filled was handed to Liang Qu.

The wine liquid filled the bamboo tube, full of heart-moving amber luster.

Liang Qu gave it to Yang Dongxiong. "Master, taste it first!"

"Eh, monkey wine must be tasted by the monkey first."

Yang Dongxiong took the bamboo tube and didn't drink it, but held it high and handed it to the old macaque on the tree.

The old macaque hugged the bamboo tube and grinned, its tail curled around the branch, and took a sip happily.

Hiccup!

The strange fragrance of monkey wine attracted the monkey group that had fled.

Many macaques didn't dare to approach, their tails stood straight, revealing big red buttocks, walking anxiously on the branches, scratching their ears and cheeks.

Second tube, third tube, fourth tube...

The fruit wine in the trunk was endless, until everyone got a bamboo tube, and the water flow gradually weakened.

Beautiful.

Ke Wenbin lay on his side on the stone, his face flushed.

After drinking the monkey wine, his whole body was warm and melting, emitting fruit fragrance, and the circulation of his blood and energy was smooth by three parts.

Floating like an immortal, it is worthy of being called precious wine.

Drinking such beautiful wine in the middle of climbing the mountain is truly a surprise, and life is complete.

"The old monkey is quite clever." Xiang Fang Su smiled.

"How so?"

"There is another half sentence in the book I read, 'The fragrance overflows, smelling for hundreds of steps. Wild woodcutters who go deep may get to steal a drink. Do not drink too much; too much will reduce the wine marks. If they notice, the monkeys will wait for the person and will definitely kill them.'"

Once the monkey wine in this tree is dug out, it's mostly not the old monkey's turn to drink. With us here, it can drink happily instead, without worrying about other monkeys fighting with it.

Ke Wenbin was puzzled: "How is your memory so good? Your grades in school were clearly not as good as mine. Are you secretly studying?"

"..."

"Come here, come here, there's more, everyone take half a tube!"

Under the tree.

Xu Zishuai shouted.

"Coming, coming! Monkey wine worth a thousand gold, Ashui must be a person with deep blessings in legend, let me get more light!"

Night.

The stars were bright.

Everyone was fragrant and returned with a full load.

In the courtyard, the old macaque and Tatta Kai were staggering and learning ape boxing.

It drank secretly alone, it was not easy to mix in the monkey group, it was easy to be beaten by the monkey king, so it needed to slow down for two days to eliminate the fruit wine gas, so it followed Liang Qu back to the courtyard all the way, and just happened to see Tatta Kai standing on a stake at night.

Professional counterpart, and learned it in a while.

Fragrant wind wafted.

She Lianmei came as promised.

【Water Essence +18】

【Water Essence +17】

Whoosh.

Just one sip.

Liang Qu felt the quality of the precious plants improve.

Not only that.

Tonight's lotus seed soup had more portions than last night, and everyone had a share.

Two bowls of red lotus seed soup went into his stomach, with more than five hundred water essences, which was equivalent to half a good treasure fish!

It's just that it's greasy in the mouth, like sitting in a month.

Liang Qu himself doesn't like sweets very much, just reluctant to part with several hundred water essences.

Chatting about family affairs, brother and sister called non-stop.

It was a kind fellow villager who met in a foreign land.

The third night.

She Lianmei suggested that the two of them go to Wulao Peak to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning.

Liang Qu agreed happily.

Inside the hall.

Watching She Lianmei leave, Long Eying closed the gate.

"Elder, are you going to the appointment tomorrow?"

"Go, why not go?"

Liang Qu stretched.

Three meals of lotus seed soup in three days, harvesting more than a thousand water essences in total. It's not polite not to go.

"Have you found out everything?"

"There are four people in total, three Hunting Tigers and one Wolf Smoke. The one with the highest cultivation should have condensed two divine ability seeds, which is the middle Hunting Tiger Realm."

"They value me quite a bit."
