Chapter 406: Exploring the Demon Cave Together

~8 min read 1,474 words

Linghu Jiu liked Unlike Ning Zhuo's free and easy style, felt even more excited, took out stone bowls, one for each person.

He sat down busily: "It's here, it's here!"

Seeing him like this, Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but sigh secretly: Last time Unlike Ning Zhuo sent tea, although Linghu Jiu was happy, he was definitely not as excited as he was now.

Unlike Ning Zhuo used the opening finger seal taught in Zhu Xuanji's letter and successfully opened the mud seal.

In an instant, the wine fragrance drifted out, filling the entire cave.

As soon as Linghu Jiu smelled it, he blurted out: "Oh? It's actually our country's royal cellar!"

His eyes lit up, and his Adam's apple rolled with excitement: "Good fellow, this is century-old royal cellar Lovesickness Wine, not often seen."

"Brother, where did you get it? My brother has entrusted others to purchase it many times. There are many royal cellar spirit wines on the market, but this kind of century-old royal cellar is extremely difficult to receive."

"Thanks to your blessing, brother, I really have a mouth for it this time, hahaha."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled and poured a full bowl for Linghu Jiu and himself.

The two wine bowls collided, and they started drinking.

In the stone bowl, the wine color of the Lovesickness Wine was like crimson pearls, clear and bright, reflecting the expectant faces of the two.

A light sniff, the wine fragrance mixed with the faint aroma of red beans, gentle yet distant.

As soon as the wine entered the mouth, it was soft and smooth, warm like the first dew of spring. The faint sweetness of the red beans melted on the tip of the tongue, carrying strands of emotion, and then the mellow aftertaste revealed a hint of hidden bitterness, like the mood of lovesickness accumulated for a long time without dissipating, pressing on the heart for a long time.

The two tasted it carefully, and for a while, neither spoke.

After a long time, Linghu Jiu broke the silence: "Century-old royal cellar, it really lives up to its reputation! The entrance is gentle, it seems to have the sweetness of red beans, and it contains the mellow and solid fragrance of century-old brewing. The meaning of lovesickness is ethereal and uncertain, but if you taste it carefully, you feel doubled heaviness."

"Century of time, still lovesick..." Unlike Ning Zhuo also sighed endlessly, "The longer the age of this wine, the heavier the lovesickness, good wine, really good wine!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo had tasted three kinds of wine recently, namely Ice Jade Wine, Nether-Thought Dark Brew, and Lovesickness Wine.

Among the first two, Ice Jade Wine can use spirit to bring qi, rapidly promoting the cultivation of the qi sea. Linghu Jiu also benefited a lot from this. Nether-Thought Dark Brew, regardless of whether it is real or fake, can communicate with yin and yang, bringing guidance from the wisdom of predecessors.

Both of these wines have powerful effects.

But Lovesickness Wine is not like the first two; it is more luxurious, just making people experience the feeling of lovesickness.

This kind of wine is difficult to preserve.

Because the feeling of lovesickness is difficult to last.

How long can ordinary people be lovesick? One year, two years? Ten years, or twenty years?

The human heart is prone to change, and human sentiment is prone to forgetfulness; the flow of time can wash away all sorts of things and wear down everything.

A feeling is difficult to maintain for several years, several decades. As for a century? Even rarer.

Because the life of an ordinary person is only a hurried century. What kind of feeling can make people miss it for a lifetime?

Once, what the Empress Dowager of the Nandou Kingdom wanted to express was this feeling.

It is said that the Lovesickness Wine she designed and brewed herself still remains to this day.

She wanted to give it to someone to drink, but this kind of fine wine was never successfully sent out a jar!

The production of Lovesickness Wine is very difficult, requiring the spirit chef to harbor intense lovesickness, so there is a possibility of production.

The preservation of Lovesickness Wine is also very difficult. It requires the lovesickness contained in it to be long-lasting.

Therefore, there is very little century-old Lovesickness Wine on the market. Once it exceeds several decades, the Lovesickness Wine itself deteriorates and is difficult to drink again.

But today, Unlike Ning Zhuo and Linghu Jiu drank this kind of wine.

For a time, both were immersed in the feeling of lovesickness, deeply affected, unable to extricate themselves.

Unlike Ning Zhuo missed his mother. Now that his mother has turned into a mechanism, accompanying him, seemingly close, but actually still distant.

The second target, the Fetal-Breathing Spirit Boat, is too distant and huge. Up to now, Unlike Ning Zhuo has not found a feasible path to burn this boat.

Linghu Jiu thought of his junior sister Lin Shanshan.

The taste of Lovesickness Wine melted in his mouth, as if thousands of silk threads gently wrapped around his heart.

He was adopted by Lin Bufan when he was very young, watching Lin Shanshan grow up little by little.

Those sweet and short moments he spent with Lin Shanshan, in this wine, seemed to be lengthened by the precipitation of time, becoming more and more profound and long-lasting.

Lovesickness Wine also turned every longing in Linghu Jiu's heart into drops in the wine, gradually permeating his heart.

"Life is like wine, lovesickness is like a song." Linghu Jiu sighed, "Some lovesickness eventually fades with the passage of time, while some lovesickness brews deeper and deeper!"

The atmosphere of the two drinking this time was very different from before. The last time was enthusiastic, this time was affectionate.

After three rounds of drinking, Unlike Ning Zhuo directly stated his situation: "Brother Linghu, I have also drunk Nether-Thought Dark Brew recently, but there is no guidance from predecessors."

Linghu Jiu pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo: "This situation is absolutely normal."

"You must know that drinking this wine only provides us with an opportunity, an opportunity to communicate with the sages of the underworld."

"At some point in time, if the sages of the underworld are willing, and have time, and find you and me pleasing to the eye, they will not hesitate to give some guidance."

"Most of the time I drink Nether-Thought Dark Brew, nothing happens. Even if there is, most of the time, it is ethereal babbling, making people difficult to understand. I only rely on my own natural talent to comprehend from these babblings and obtain benefits."

"Brother's luck erupting last time was not the norm."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled slightly: "So that's how it is."

He looked at Linghu Jiu deeply, and for a while, there was no language.

Seeing his strange expression and staring at himself, Linghu Jiu smiled freely: "Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not use the Human-Life Hanging Thread, so he could not use the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to sense the depths of Linghu Jiu's heart.

But relying on his own life experience of more than ten years and his ability to speculate on human nature, he determined Linghu Jiu's sincerity.

A flash of light flashed in Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes, he let go of his courage, and spoke directly.

He first said that he had entrusted the Ning family's Jin Dan ancestor to ask for the wine recipe, but was sternly rejected by Lin Bufan, with no room for discussion.

He also gave the wine to a spirit chef to taste, trying to identify the wine recipe, but got an unexpected evaluation.

Linghu Jiu was very curious when he heard this: "You said, Nether-Thought Dark Brew is fake wine? Actually, it has no function of communicating with the sages of the underworld?"

"Impossible!"

Linghu Jiu shook his head directly and said firmly: "This is the wine my master personally gave me, and he even strictly ordered me... to keep this secret."

Speaking of this, Linghu Jiu was a bit unnatural.

His temperament is lazy and free, and to put it badly, when he is emotional, he often throws some instructions to the back of his head.

Nether-Thought Dark Brew is the best example.

Clearly, the master asked him to strictly keep the secret, but in Linghu Jiu's view, he had the natural talent for this wine, and most of the time when he drank it, it was ineffective, so the value was not high.

Therefore, last time he saw Unlike Ning Zhuo pleasing to the eye, he took it out directly and let Unlike Ning Zhuo drink it to his heart's content.
