Chapter 113: Everything is interesting

  The two of them drank from the same jug, and finished a small amount of wine. Her face didn't change at all. But after drinking, her lips became even more rosy, yet her complexion turned paler.

  Xiao Hai finished his drink and opened his mouth slightly: "How much can you drink?"

  Liang Xin smiled and replied, "If you drink slowly, a kilogram won't get you drunk. But if you drink like you did just now, you can't even finish half a kilogram." As he spoke, his eyes swept back and forth under Xiao Yu's seat, asking, "Is there still wine?"

  Xiao Hai pointed at Liang Xin's seat: "You also have it down there."

  The words were not yet finished, and Liang Xin had already taken out the wine, opened it and took a sip. He immediately stuck out his tongue and laughed: "Good guy, this is a wild donkey from the grassland!" He had run a restaurant in Tongchuan before and hadn't sold much of this wine, but the taste of this jar was much more mellow, although spicy at first it didn't burn the throat, the aftertaste was brief but explosive and refreshing, obviously not an ordinary product.

  Xiao Hai seemed to smile, and the smile lines flashed by, reflecting in Liang Xin's eyes for only an instant before falling back into gloom: "If you can't drink it, change it, there are many kinds." As he spoke, he casually threw away the empty jar in his hand, bent down again, and this time pulled out a crystal clear blue porcelain bottle. The bottle had two ancient characters written on it in curved lines: Sang Luo.

  "The color is more delicate than cool cream, and the fragrance is like sweet dew forever spring. Ten thousand miles to escort one bucket, far away sending off old friends from Xiao and Xiang."

  Mulberry leaves fall again.

  Xiao Hai didn't drink it all in one gulp like the previous cup, but instead sipped it slowly, her eyelids lowered and her long eyelashes.

  Liáng Xīn was at a loss for words for a moment, fortunately he had a jar of "dumb donkey" wine.

  Two people sat opposite each other, not saying a word. Xiaotai was drinking his own tea, and Liangxin was also drinking, but he wasn't drinking for himself, he was staring at Xiaotai, and every time Xiaotai took a sip, he would follow suit.

  After a while, Liang Xin gradually became busy, and Xiao Quan seemed to have discovered that he was following her, and began to be naughty. Sometimes she would pick up the cup but not drink from it, then put it down again; sometimes she would lift it twice in succession and take two sips. Liang Xin had never seen Xiao Quan being so mischievous before, and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do with his hands and feet.

  Xiao Hai finally burst out laughing. A gentle, tinkling laughter spread throughout the train car, and Liang Xin, overjoyed, took three big gulps in one breath, feeling a fiery hot air rising from his stomach, hitting his head, and couldn't help but let out another loud "ha" of laughter!

  "If I only have one year left to live, I don't know what to do. After laughing, I look at Liang Xin, my eyes clear and calm."

  Liang Xin smiled: "Don't worry, you're fine."

  "It's two different things, don't mix them together." Xiao Yu shook his head and interrupted him: "I've been thinking about it all the time, but I couldn't think of what to do." As he spoke, Xiao Yu let out a soft sigh: "I'm out of ideas, I don't know what's fun anymore."

  Liang Xin said tentatively: "There are many fun places in the world, I know that Suanle Mountain is one of them. There's also a place called Houyegu." He knew this place too.

  Xiao Hai continued to shake her head: "The grasslands, the ocean, the high mountains, and the Gobi Desert - I've been to them all. Some people say that they're not tired of seeing the beautiful scenery of the world, but I'm just not interested. The mountains and rivers aren't boring, but with only one year left, going to see them would be a waste." As she spoke, Xiao Hai raised her chin and pointed at Liang Xin: "You tell me, from childhood to adulthood, what's been interesting?"

  Liang Xin immediately began to recall with great effort, but upon careful consideration, he became somewhat dazed.

  Chasing shooting stars and making wishes, never getting tired; meeting Old Uncle Liang Fengxi, waiting for him to deliver delicious food, practicing Xuan's bitter fist thinking of escaping one day; Suffering in the mountains, recognizing two older brothers, dying several times, fighting back, surviving; Monkey Valley refining true yuan, four-step masters will fly; Copper's small business rising and falling, don't believe you can't make money; Three Hall trials exhausting all thoughts, anyone can die, but the two sworn brothers must live

  Xiao Hai looked at Liang Xin, who was staring blankly into space with a mysterious expression. She didn't disturb him and instead turned her gaze to the black car parts. Unexpectedly, after a moment, Liang Xin suddenly jumped up excitedly and squatted down in front of her without even sitting back down.

  Xiao Hai jumped in fright, and the white-robed ranger, who was renowned for his exceptional combat skills and deeply respected by the commander, involuntarily shrank back.

  Liang Xin had never noticed this detail, with a smile all over his face, he mysteriously said to Xiao Quan: "I've thought about it carefully, and I just realized that from childhood to adulthood, every day of my life has been very interesting!"

  Xiao Hai raised an eyebrow, showing great interest.

  "As he said that, Liang Xin's face turned gloomy again, wanting to say something profound, but his mind was limited, and in the end, he simply said: 'As long as you're not dead, there's still a next moment, and with the next moment, who knows if you'll die or not!'"

  Xiao Hai's eyes widened as she looked at Liang Xin, then at the wine jug in his hand, and muttered: "Had too much to drink?"

  "As long as there's hope, I'll play with my life. Even if I die tomorrow, today I'm still alive, so there's still hope." Liang Xin became more and more anxious, but his words became clearer. He tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine, suddenly feeling enlightened. For the third time, he burst out laughing: "Hope! Hope! While others are worried and gloomy, I'm climbing ladders to find shooting stars! My mother fears evil spirits, but I don't care about that nonsense. I've been practicing boxing desperately since I was 12 years old - Jade Stone Double Destruction, Four Steps of Evil Cultivation, Five Steps of High Mastery... no one can stop me from living my life!" Everything I do is interesting because I don't see the outcome. If you can't see the outcome, there's hope!

  Liang Xin talked a lot but still didn't clarify things.

  Xiao Hai smiled again, perhaps she understood or simply didn't want to waste her energy on this clumsy guy anymore. She handed the porcelain bottle to Liang Xin and at the same time snatched the jug from him: "Trade with me, my wine is tasteless, give me yours!"

  Two young men swapped bottles and Xiao Yu drank a "Drunken Donkey". He raised an eyebrow: "Not bad!"

  Liáng Xīn had a sip of "Sāng Luò". Suddenly, he showed an astonished expression, as if a savage who had been eating raw meat his whole life suddenly tasted a plate of Kung Pao chicken. He stared at Xiǎo Yuè with a disappointed look on his face, complaining that she didn't know good stuff: "This wine is so good!" Before he even finished speaking, the two of them burst out laughing!

  Tonight, Liang Xin has laughed too many times, while in this life, Xiao Yu has never laughed so loudly!

  Xiao Sai laughed out tears, which dripped down her cheeks onto her collar, and into the wine jar. Liang Xin reached out to catch a drop, splashed it onto his palm, and in an instant, it was gone.

  After two jars of wine, Xiao Yu was still not drunk, but tired. He lay down on his own seat, looking at Liang Xin, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Wait until I fall asleep, then you can leave." Liang Xin nodded, poured another jar of wine, and let Xiao Yu sleep lightly. Just as he was about to sneak away quietly, Liang Xin came back again, secretly took four or five jars of good wine from under the carriage seat, and ran off.

  When Liang Xin returned to his own car, Dry Dad and two sworn brothers had already closed their eyes and rested.

  They set out from Zhen Mountain when the sun was already setting, but everyone's mood was anxious and they couldn't wait to jump into the grassland, starting their overnight journey on the first night.

  Around midnight, the official road was desolate and cold, with only Liang Xin's team galloping northward. Liang Xin was closing his eyes to rest when the carriage suddenly jolted violently, followed by the sound of horses neighing loudly. The driver, a green-clad guard, shouted loudly: "Who goes there!"

  Liang Xin's body swayed out of the big carriage, and in front of the team, he saw a person standing with a smile, wearing a Luo skirt with long sleeves, thirty years old, the first of the three great sacrificial wines of Liren Valley, Qin Duo.

  Suddenly stopping under the rapid gallop, the fine horses drawing the carriage were somewhat impatient, and they stamped their hooves on the ground.

  The four deaf and mute attendants have drawn their embroidered spring knives and are confronting Qin Meng.

  Liang Xin was startled and hastily jumped to the front of the four men in green, Qin Ju's eyes had no one else. Seeing Liang Xin come out, he nodded and smiled at him: "Lord Liang, hello."

  Liang Xin ordered his subordinate, Qing Yi, to put away his sword and also smiled back at Qin Shu: "Qin family's young master is well, what brings you out so late at night?"

  Qin Bei nodded with a smile, "We met in haste on the Haodai platform today. There was something I didn't have time to ask, and after dealing with those mundane matters, I just found out that Lord Liang had arrived at Zhen Shan, so I rushed over here."

  "What's wrong?" Liang Xin said with a sigh.

  Qin Jue didn't directly ask, but instead slowly shook his head and said: "This question isn't one that Qin Jue himself is asking, but rather it's the senior brothers of the Tianmen who, after witnessing your abilities, want to ask on behalf of the eight great Tianmen. Qin Jue is just carrying out everyone's entrustment and rushed over. This point, Lord Liang should first clarify."

  Liang Xin was somewhat inexplicable, furrowing his brow and not speaking, only making a gesture to indicate that Qin Jue should continue. At this time, footsteps sounded from beside him, and his father had already walked up slowly and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

  Qin Jue smiled towards Jiang'an: "Good sir!" He said, bowing his head and making a gesture of respect, as if it were a common courtesy among the people.

  Then, Qin Youcai looked at Liang Xin again: "Fellow seniors of the Tianmen, I want to ask Mr. Liang a question, how did you cultivate your body method?"

  Even a martial artist can comment on martial arts, but it's taboo to ask about the method directly. The old man flipped his eyes and sneered: "If you want to know how to practice, you have to learn to take a beating first."

  Qin's expression didn't change, he slowly shook his head, without any sign of anger or intention to take action, and said calmly: "Mr. Liang's fist array is incredibly mysterious, with the cultivation of the sound-color realm, you have achieved the power of the mysterious realm, which is indeed astonishing. But compared to your movement skills, it's not worth mentioning. Anyone can see that you haven't moved your true yuan, and just relying on your body, you can avoid the thunderclouds of a thousand halos, this is also too astonishing!"

  As he spoke, Qin Jiu suddenly smiled and lowered his voice: "Your performance in the flower formation, I didn't dare to tell Gu Huitou, Qi Qing and others, only said it was me who took action to protect you, so you survived.

  Liang Xin was confused by Qin Yue's words, and when he saw the understanding look on his face, he didn't bother to think about it anymore. He just said seriously: "If Mr. Qin has something to say, please speak directly."

  "Your movement, without the support of true yuan, can still dodge the divine technique of the Xuanji realm. Lord Liang, have you ever thought that if your skills were learned by ordinary people and became widespread, the cultivators in the Central Plains would become worthless? Moreover, your identity is that of a noble lord. Emperor Xi Zong's talents are vast and profound, perhaps with just one order, every soldier in the Great Hong Dynasty would practice your skills." Qin Jue's tone was calm and flat, without any discernible emotions: "The reason why the seniors from Tianmen are worried is precisely this point, but unfortunately, they all have important matters to attend to, so I'm the only idle person who can be entrusted with catching up with you and asking clearly!"

  As he spoke, Qin You paused for a moment before continuing: "Actually, the crux of the matter is just this one point: if this technique can only be practiced by you, then it's no big deal; but if everyone can learn and practice this technique, then you'll be in trouble.

  An's face was full of indifference as he smiled and said: "Good fellow, you've managed to catch up with me. Are you here to help True Way Sect eliminate any future troubles?"

  Unexpectedly, Qin Meng shook his head and smiled: "Senior, you're being too serious. If I really wanted to take action, I wouldn't have said so much nonsense. Only I know that Liang's movement has broken through, as we've been together in the flower formation."

  Immediately, Qin Zhi stared straight at Liang Xin and called out his name: "Liang Xin, you used your mortal body to dodge the Five Steps Thunder Cloud's pursuit. Perhaps other Tianmen brothers still have patience to observe the situation before acting; but relying on this technique, you escaped from two six-step high-level martial artists' encirclement. If Gu Huitou and Qi Qing find out about this, they will directly take action to kill you in order to eliminate future troubles!"

  At this time, Qu Qing Shi also walked up and didn't greet anyone. He directly faced Qin Chui and said: "Qin family's master hurried over here, not only did he not make a move to probe us, but he also told us the whole story of what happened. What is his intention?"

  Qin Zhen was about to respond when she suddenly took a deep breath, sniffed the air, and burst out laughing: "So there's good wine!" She reached out with one hand, and a small wine jug flew from Xiao Yu's carriage into her grasp. She pinched off the seal mud, and as she did, an expression of greed appeared on her elegant face. She raised the jug to her lips and took a big swig, then asked in surprise: "What a great wine! What kind is it?"

  Xiao Hai's voice came from behind, cold and icy: "Dumb donkey!"

  Qin was taken aback, but he didn't think much of it and burst out laughing. After taking two more sips, he spoke again: "Among the Eight Great Heavenly Gates, the other sects have seven protectors, six auspicious omens, and nine heavenly layers... only the Valley of Departed Souls has only three sacrificial wines."

  Liang Xin understood and smiled: "Is Liren Valley's strength the weakest?"

  Qin Jue nodded and then shook his head: "It can't be said that way, it should be said that Liren Valley values virtue but not law, only seeking to cultivate heavenly virtues and ask about the Tao, disliking war and killing."

  In this respect, it is quite similar to the "Dōjinshin" of Kunōyama.

  Liren Valley was initially neither orthodox nor heretical, but rather a hidden world of quiet cultivation and contemplation of the Tao. However, as the struggle between orthodoxy and heresy intensified, Liren Valley's divine techniques, although not numerous, had unique aspects to them, having once

  Liren Valley was unable to stand alone and ultimately chose the Orthodox Camp.

  At the time of the struggle between the orthodox and the evil, in terms of strength, Liren Valley was stronger than ordinary sects, but weaker than top-notch large sects. Even now, among the eight major Tianmen, Liren Valley has the worst strength, but compared to "Nine Nine Return One", it is still much higher.

  What's more important is that Lixian Valley values cultivation and enlightenment, not one's own strength. Among the Five Great Sects and Three Clans, it can be said to be the least "ambitious".

  The disciples of Liren Valley are mostly gentle in nature and do not want to hurt people easily. This time, the three halls meeting is a unified action of the five rough ones, and Liren Valley had no choice but to send out Qin Jue under helpless circumstances.

  Liren Valley has never had the heart to contend for hegemony or dominate alone. Qin Yi feels that Liang Xin's own methods are flawless and is unwilling to take action to kill him. Apart from this, Qin Yi personally experienced Liang Xin's breakthrough in his methods and saw the profundity of his abilities, planning to give him a share of human sentiment, which would be beneficial for everyone.

  Qin Jue finished speaking, and Liang Xin stood up straight and bowed: "The kindness of the Qin family is remembered by Liang Mo Dao. From now on, Liren Valley will be friends."

  The old devil's expression also eased a bit, and he nodded slightly towards Qin Wei. After pondering for a moment, he said in a cold tone: "This favor, I'll return it to you right now. Your peony flower array is not bad, but what's the use of peonies? Born noble and delicate, they're only good for looking pretty, nothing else. Used as a Taoist magic array, they may give off a fragrant scent that intoxicates people, with colors that are tender and lovely, but their combat effectiveness is greatly discounted!"

  Qin Xiao first furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up!

  The woman who saw the shore was educated, and her mood improved a lot: "Naughty children fight, and many lose their temper. But who has ever lost a peony? It's just because peonies don't hurt when they hit people!"

  Liang Xin thought he was also a bit of an expert, listened very attentively, rubbed his palms together and asked with a smile: "What does it mean, Uncle?"

  An Qi smiled and said, "The people of Liren Valley have always liked to play with flowers and plants, but they don't understand the truth that flowers are not as good as grass. If the peony flower formation were to change into a wild grass formation, its power would increase greatly."

  Liang Xin was shocked and thought that Qin would make another move later. Under the law, the green grass flew up, and the cattle should have been happy.

  Qin Xiao's face was filled with joy, she used her Taoist magic to transform the peony flowers into deadly weapons, increasing their power by ten thousand times. However, if they were replaced with "tough grass, thistle, and purple wisteria", the array's magical technique would hardly need to change, but because these plants are naturally tougher than fresh flowers, the array's power would naturally be even greater!

  It can't be said that Qin Xiao had no vision, her peony flower array was a tradition passed down in the Menzong sect, used at lower levels and also had the effect of bewildering the mind. However, after reaching the Haitian boundary, cultivators' minds became firm and the flower array's mind-bewildering effect became ineffective.

  However, the disciples of Liren Valley never thought about this when they were cultivating. They just followed their habits, increasing their cultivation on one hand and enhancing the power of the flower formation on the other. They had never thought that after four steps, it was time to change flowers for grass.

  Qin Ze got the hint and thanked Lao Mo Tou repeatedly, with this everyone was even, no one owed anyone anything, but it added a bit of friendship, all were delighted.

  After thanking him a few more times, Qin Ou finally turned to Liang Xin and smiled, asking: "It's almost time. You still have to go back and report, your martial arts skills, you also need to give me an explanation."

  Liang Xin hadn't spoken yet, when Jiang Zuo suddenly chuckled and said from beside him: "In the western part of Wing State, there's a not-too-tall mountain called Yueyang. The mountain is home to a special product - a type of flower-faced Buddha, named Bu Gu, which comes and goes like the wind, with movements that are extremely agile."

  Qin Meng nodded with a bitter smile: "That's right, Yueyang is not a valley, and the flower face is rare, it can be said to be a unique species, known throughout the world."

  Shore burst out laughing, pointing at Liang Xin: "This little guy is a monkey child, raised by a mysterious old man since childhood, so he was able to lay the foundation and master his strange body method. Others who want to cultivate this body method would have to be kidnapped by Old Man Nong as an infant!" The old man's explanation was humorous but reasonable, most importantly it made clear that Liang Xin's body method wasn't something just anyone could practice.

  Qin Yu burst out laughing and nodded, looking sideways at Liang Xin: "Really?"

  Liang Xin gritted his teeth and nodded: "Really!" As he spoke, he kicked his legs and swung his arms, performing a few incredibly agile yet inexplicable movements. These actions were not only extremely complex, but also something that ordinary people would never think of - in short, they were like a monkey's acrobatics.

  "I'm just a little monkey!" Liang Xin replied loudly, then turned back to ask his father: "So how did you practice your skills?"

  After a burst of laughter, Qin Ou bid farewell to the crowd, but secretly transmitted his voice to Xing Yin: "That old man in green clothes has weak soul power and won't live long. How did you get along with him?"

  Liang Xin did not hide it either, and said straightforwardly: "We are biological brothers!"

  Qin Zi thought for a moment and smiled: "After you've finished your current tasks, bring him to Liren Valley!"

  Liáng Xīn was overjoyed: "Can you help him recover?"

  Qin Yu waved his hand and left with a sentence: "It's hard to say, but it's not entirely hopeless!" As soon as the words fell, the fragrance wind swept up and disappeared.

  Liang Xin first burst out laughing, but a moment later suddenly came to his senses. He shouted loudly towards the sky: "Where is Liren Valley?"

  After Qin Xiao left, Liang Xin was still overjoyed. The fact that Qu Qing had become an old man with a bad reputation due to the curse of the green stone had always been a heart disease for him. If Liren Valley really had a magical technique that could help him recover, it would be a great joy.

  As for why Qin Jue wanted to help them, in Liang Xin's opinion it was also very simple. This was the principle of "seeing the Buddha off to the West". Qin Jue had never made things difficult for Liang Xin. The old devil had revealed the key to their skills, and both sides had already formed a good relationship. As far as Qin Jue was concerned, there was no harm in leaving behind some goodwill.

  Now, even if there's a big event in the sky, everyone will rush to the grassland and first confirm Qingmo's safety. Fortunately, Qu Qing Shi still has time and doesn't need to hurry at this moment.

  When he suddenly received the good news, Qu Qing Shi remained calm and composed. But after setting out again, he also became absent-minded like Liu Yi, occasionally curling up the corners of his mouth and smiling foolishly for a moment.

  Liang Xin saw it with his own eyes, and was delighted in his heart. He turned his head to take a look, only to find that his father-in-law was also staring blankly, his eyebrows tightly furrowed together, seemingly deep in thought about something.

  Mourning Day, may the deceased rest in peace!

  To those who are still alive, keep going!!!
