Chapter 505: Hongmen Wine

~15 min read 2,877 words

Because of the Dice Bone Demon God's surrender, this fierce battle came to an abrupt end.

The dojo dissipated rapidly, restoring the original appearance of the Heavenly Pillar Giant Wood Mountain.

The soldiers still kept their eyes on Ning Zhuo, or more accurately, the bracelet on his wrist.

Ning Zhuo's gaze was no exception.

At the same time, he communicated with his spiritual sense: "Dice Bone Demon God, you... really willing to surrender to me?"

The Dice Bone Demon God sighed: "Lost six games in a row, what can I do?"

"Master, you don't have to doubt."

"I am a white bone die turned into a demon, enjoying offerings and incense. Although my strength has increased, it has also added drawbacks, that is, adhering to relevant principles."

"One of the principles is that losing six games in a row means losing everything."

Ning Zhuo naturally would not believe his one-sided words and continued to pursue: "How do you prove it?"

"This is simple. Later, the old slave will reopen the dojo, Master, you enter the dojo to realize the Tao. If the time is enough, you will understand the relevant principles. Naturally, you will understand that what the old slave said is not false."

"Dojo..." Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with brilliance.

The meaning of cultivation, there is a saying, is to practice the true principles of the world.

Cultivators who master the principles can spread their own Tao, forming a field. This field often becomes a place of its own, just like the Dice Bone Demon God's dojo, which can cover the original mountains and forests.

In the dojo, intelligent creatures can contact the "Tao" at the closest distance and to the greatest extent. Those with strong comprehension can have some realization.

Once a cultivator displays the dojo, his own strength will reach the peak state.

But the drawback that follows is that the intelligent creatures in the dojo will quickly understand the cultivator's foundation because of contact with the Tao.

Just now, Liu Er could find out the rules of losing everything, which came from this.

"But the speed of Liu Er's realization of this layer is too much." Ning Zhuo thought of this and asked the Dice Bone Demon God.

The Dice Bone Demon God nodded: "This is one of the lowest secrets in my dojo, and it was actually probed by him. He must have relevant techniques or talents to quickly understand the Tao I have mastered."

Ning Zhuo heard this and had largely confirmed that what the Dice Bone Demon God said was not false.

Because according to the method provided by him, it is easy to verify.

Ning Zhuo then asked about the matter of Qi number: "What kind of cultivation technique do you practice? It seems to be related to Qi number?"

The Dice Bone Demon God said: "Techniques related to divination and Qi luck are hidden studies in the Hundred Arts of Cultivation. The old slave does not have such good luck to obtain such true transmission."

"The reason why I master such principles is purely because of my origin."

"However, Master, if you want to ask about the principles of Qi number, the old slave also has some insights."

"For example, there is a difference between Qi number and Qi luck."

"Number is the number, foundation, cornerstone, while luck is movement, operation, and operation."

"Number is static, luck is dynamic."

"Number is already a result, while luck is a trend."

"Master, your Qi number is not bad, and your Qi luck is fierce, so the old slave lost six games in a row."

"Throwing six points every time is actually not particularly rare. As long as the foundation is higher than mine, in this dojo, you can often throw higher points. If it is a Spirit Transformation level existence, the cultivation base is far beyond mine, it must be six every time."

"But even if it is Spirit Transformation level, if it is six every time, the old slave may not lose."

"After all, the old slave is the master of the dojo. Others only have one die, but the old slave has two, and the advantage is huge."

Ning Zhuo suddenly realized: "You mean, six every time is not strange, what is strange is that you lost six games in a row, and the sum of the points of the two dice is lower than six?"

Dice Bone Demon God: "Exactly!"

"This shows that Master, your Qi luck strongly influenced my Qi number, making the points I threw lower than yours every time."

"The old slave dares to ask Master what kind of means this is?"

Ning Zhuo was very confused: "I don't know!"

After a pause: "I do have a treasure that suppresses Qi luck on me."

The Dice Bone Demon God denied: "That can't be. Suppressing Qi luck is to resist external negative influences and ensure one's own Qi number, and there will be a lower limit."

"Master, I am sure that something must have happened without your knowledge."

"Which affected your Qi luck."

Ning Zhuo felt very confused: "Who is so kind?"

He communicated with the Dice Bone Demon God, while Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang began to preside over the situation and clean up the battlefield.

Seeing Ning Zhuo standing in place, his gaze fixed on the dice bracelet on his wrist, Liu Er's heart once again gave birth to a familiar feeling.

He felt empty, as if a very important treasure had been stolen by someone.

He felt this way for the first time when Ning Zhuo and Mu Lan signed a marriage contract in public.

Thus, his hatred for Ning Zhuo deepened a lot.

"Ga ga ga!"

A series of harsh bird calls came from high altitude, attracting the attention of the soldiers.

Soon, a giant iron-feathered eagle flapped its wide wings and flew down from high altitude.

Someone wanted to take action to snipe, but was soon stopped by Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang.

Because the three Jin Dan cultivators saw the token on the iron-feathered eagle, and their military seals had resonance with the token.

The iron-feathered eagle hovered in mid-air, overlooking the soldiers, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am the messenger of Commander Du. Three Generals Camp, you fought well, and actually subdued a local demon god."

"You must know that the local demon god is very familiar with the enemy's inside story, and this intelligence is extremely important for our country to pacify the Thousand Peaks Forest."

"Not only that, just publicizing the situation of the Dice Bone Demon God surrendering to our country will be a huge blow to the morale of the Thousand Peaks Forest."

"That Foundation Establishment kid, quickly lead your Dice Bone Demon God and come back with me to report for duty. Commander Du will definitely reward you!"

"As for the rest of you, continue to advance, no mistakes allowed!"

The iron-feathered eagle's expression was arrogant and very impolite.

The three generals' expressions changed slightly.

Zhang Hei said first: "What reward?"

The iron-feathered eagle was immediately unhappy: "Presumptuous! Since you have joined the army, you should just focus on making contributions; how can you hold merit to demand rewards? Is this the principle of a subject?"

Ning Zhuo bowed: "I am not a citizen of the Liangzhu Kingdom, but from the Nandou Kingdom. What reward is it, please tell me, messenger."

Hearing Ning Zhuo say this, the iron-feathered eagle's expression stagnated: "The great war is imminent, Commander Du naturally will not waste energy reporting such small merits for you."

"However, don't worry. Our Commander Du is always fair in rewards and punishments, and naturally will not let you suffer a loss, kid."

Zhang Hei frowned immediately.

He heard it; this messenger wanted Ning Zhuo to go back and hand over the Dice Bone Demon God, and there would be no reward in the short term. He would have to wait until after the great war, when the dust settled, and then Du Tiechuan reported it, to get the Liangzhu Kingdom's reward.

Zhang Hei opened his mouth to speak. But the next moment, Liu Er transmitted his thoughts to him, telling him to say less.

Zhang Hei shut his mouth.

Liu Er's mood was very complicated.

The fact that Ning Zhuo obtained the Dice Bone Demon God made him very resistant and extremely unhappy.

Now hearing that Du Tiechuan would ask for it, he inevitably had a kind of psychological comfort, so he subconsciously chose to observe the situation.

Ning Zhuo's face showed a smile, and he bowed: "I will follow the military order!"

"It's just... having just experienced a fierce battle, my state is not good." "Retreating to Mulun Town might cause accidents, so it is better to rest for a while, recover to the peak state, which is appropriate."

The iron-feathered eagle snorted coldly: "The military situation is urgent, you are just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is not important."

"I witnessed the battle just now."

"You stay in the Three Generals Camp and command the mechanical army, you can also play some role."

"Hand over the white bone bracelet directly to me, and I will take it to Commander Du."

As soon as the words fell, the white bone bracelet swayed, making the voice of the Dice Bone Demon God: "You little iron eagle, dare to hold me?"

"What Qi number do you have? Dare to gamble with me?"

"Except for the Master, even if the King of Heaven comes, he cannot control me!"

Iron-feathered eagle: "You! Bold!"

The white bone bracelet radiated miserable white light, as if it was about to take action the next moment.

The iron-feathered eagle subconsciously flapped its wings and flew to high altitude.

None of the content is wrong, read it all at once!

Ning Zhuo hurriedly scolded, and the white bone bracelet extinguished the white light.

The iron-feathered eagle stared at Ning Zhuo: "Kid, you should discipline your slave well! I am here, representing Commander Du!"

Ning Zhuo hurriedly bowed to apologize: "Iron Eagle Lord, please don't blame me. I just subdued this slave, and I will definitely discipline him. Offending you, please forgive me. Why don't I prepare some thin wine and set up a camp to entertain you properly?"

The iron-feathered eagle snorted coldly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

At this time, Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard and said: "My Three Generals Camp also needs to rest after this battle. Monitor, why don't you enter the tent to rest, so that you can recover your spirit and rush back to where the commander-in-chief is."

The iron eagle then nodded and slowly landed on a big tree.

Afterwards, the Three Generals Camp cleaned up the battlefield while building the camp.

After a stick of incense, the camp was built, and the iron eagle entered the main general's tent, accompanied by the four of Liu, Generals Guan, Zhang, and Ning.

The iron eagle was a demon cultivator, just not transformed.

"What kind of wine is this? Strong and deep, the wine fragrance is nose-piercing, making people have endless aftertaste."

The iron eagle stared at the dark red wine liquid in the cup, surprised and satisfied.

Ning Zhuo said: "I have a close friend in the Ten Thousand Medicine Gate of the Nandou Kingdom, who loves to drink. Therefore, when I came to Canglin Immortal City, I bought some fine wine."

"This is one of them, called Hongmen Wine."

"It uses an ancient brewing secret method, wine dregs and clear springs ferment together, and integrates dark fragrant grass and blood vine flowers as auxiliary raw materials."

The iron eagle recalled: "Dark fragrant grass? Blood vine flower?"

"These two spirit plants, one often grows beside powerful ministers and strategists, and the other is in dark corners, bathed in injustice blood."

"I didn't expect that using these two spirit plants could brew such beautiful wine... hmm?!"

The iron eagle said this, his expression changed drastically, and his voice became sharp: "Why can't I use any magic power! What did you put in the wine?"

"Bold Ning Zhuo, what do you want to do?!"

Liu, Generals Guan, and Zhang were very surprised, but Ning Zhuo sat upright, smiling: "Does the monitor know such a sentence—when the general is outside, the military order is not accepted?"

"What's more, this is not a military order."

The iron eagle scolded: "Bold! Although this is not a military order issued by Commander Du himself, I believe that if Commander Du were present, he would definitely issue this military order."

"Ning Zhuo, you sinner who ignores the monarch and the country, actually covets personal gain and is unwilling to hand over the Dice Bone Demon!"

"Besides, you also drugged the wine and want to place me under house arrest!"

Ning Zhuo's face showed a strange look: "Monitor, why do you think I want to place you under house arrest?"

Saying that, he picked up the wine glass, but did not bring it to his mouth to drink, but threw it to the ground leisurely.

The wine glass shattered.

A team of barbarian cultivators broke into the tent and surrounded the iron eagle.

The iron eagle screamed in panic: "Don't kill me, don't kill me! I was wrong, I was wrong, Master Ning Zhuo! Let me go, I will say many good things about you!"

"Don't kill me, I promise to keep my mouth shut!"

"Ah ah ah!"

Accompanied by the iron eagle's screams, were the barbarian cultivators who kept raising their axes and knives and falling them fiercely.

The iron eagle was only at the Foundation Establishment level, and had drunk Hongmen Wine, his whole body was sour and soft, unable to raise magic power.

Soon, he was chopped into a pool of broken bone and meat residue.

Inside the tent, it was filled with a bloody smell.

Liu Er sighed: "Is it really good to do this?"

Zhang Hei immediately said: "Good, of course good! This thief bird is arrogant, this is the end it deserves."

Generals Guan Hong also advised: "With this iron eagle in the high altitude, the situation of my Three Generals Camp was seen by it. Leaking military intelligence is a taboo for soldiers. Eldest brother, our Three Generals Camp was dispatched at this juncture, obviously Du Tiechuan didn't take us seriously and wanted to use us as pawns to probe the enemy's situation."

Ning Zhuo finally said: "We didn't kill the monitor, everyone saw it, it was a group of barbarian enemy troops who besieged the monitor and harmed his life."

This team of barbarian cultivators was naturally summoned by the Dice Bone Demon God.

"Sigh..." Liu Er sighed deeply again, "I intend to make contributions, but it is so difficult. What the two virtuous brothers said is very true, then let's do it."

Ning Zhuo waved his hand and let this group of barbarian cultivators retreat.

The barbarian cultivators cast hateful glances, but their faith in the Dice Bone Demon God was even better, so they retreated with hatred.

With the Dice Bone Demon God's surrender, the previous White Bone Temple did not need to be dismantled.

Many barbarian cultivators were also secretly recruited. After the Three Generals Camp left, they would re-occupy the Dice Bone Giant Wood Mountain. In case the Three Generals Camp was defeated and fled, this would also be a retreat.

As for the murderer who harmed the iron eagle monitor, he was naturally hunted and besieged by the Three Generals Camp to avenge the revenge.

In fact, they picked a few barbarian cultivator corpses from the battlefield, chopped them into meat mud, took a part to hand in, and threw the others away.

Without the monitor overhead, Liu, Generals Guan, Zhang, and Ning felt relaxed.

The Three Generals Camp officially began to rest at the Dice Bone Giant Wood Mountain.

While the wounded soldiers were being treated, the three generals also carried out small-scale, low-intensity training.

Ning Zhuo's work increased.

On one hand, he asked the Dice Bone Demon God about various intelligence of the Thousand Peaks Forest, and on the other hand, he repaired the mechanical puppets with Sun Lingtong.

After this battle, more than four hundred mechanical puppets were directly reduced by half, leaving only more than two hundred.

This was still counting the results of the repairs.

"The battle damage is too great." Ning Zhuo sighed, "If I had known, I should have bought more."

He also had no experience in this regard.

However, it was too late even if he went back to Canglin Immortal City now.

Since the Princess of Ingenuity Shuang Ling entered the city, she had bought all the mechanical puppets in a powerful way. Even all the reservations of the shops that followed were on Shuang Ling's side.

"Master, you want more mechanical puppets? The old slave suddenly remembered an intelligence."

"The Liangzhu Kingdom dispatched a transport team, which had a large number of mechanical creations. Calculating the foot speed, they should be arriving at Wuzhai Valley soon."

Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon, Sun Lingtong's eyes were shining, and he made a long "oh" sound.
