After a tiring journey, Chen Jiu and Yu Youyu finally walked out of the rolling mountains.
The scene in front of me suddenly became clear. There was actually a small village at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Jiu rode a donkey and Yu Youyu rode a horse. The two wandered into the village.
To be honest, this village is quite surprising. There are actually inns and food stalls here.
Chen Jiu and Yu Youyu walked to the front row of the food stall at the end of the village and got off their horses. The waiter was a rather thin child, about fifteen or sixteen years old. When he saw someone with a smiling face, he took the initiative to greet him: "Hey "Two gentlemen are here, please come in."
Chen Jiu casually threw a piece of silver to the waiter and walked into the food stall minding his own business.
There are not many people inside, but it is very complicated. There are businessmen passing by, scholars, and guys dressed strangely, like Taoist priests, but not Taoist priests.
The strangest thing is that the scholar is actually sitting together with that guy who looks like a monk but not a Taoist.
The white fox in Chen Jiu's arms stuck out his head and looked around quietly.
The shopkeeper came over and said, "Two distinguished guests, what would you like to order?"
Chen Jiu put an ingot of gold on the table: "Let me have a pot of tea first, and give me a portion of all the delicious things you can make."
Yu Youyu from the opposite side hurried over: "Also, I want the best wine."
The shopkeeper took the gold and said with a smile: "Okay, please wait a moment."
After bringing the tea, Chen Jiu and Yu Youyu were chatting to themselves. The waiter who tied the horse came in and said, "Sir, your horse has been arranged."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Hey, you are obviously a small village, but why are you so well-equipped with food, drink and accommodation?".
The waiter smiled: "Sir, you must have never walked through here before. We have been doing this for many years. There are too many tourists and businessmen passing by, and some people have needs. We just established it here." A food stall. There¡¯s also a place to stay. Although it¡¯s not as good as a town, it¡¯s still better than being in the open air, right?¡±
Chen Jiu nodded: "Yes, it is a wonderful thing to benefit passing tourists and make money at the same time."
As soon as Chen Jiu and Yu Youyu came in, they attracted everyone's attention. Everyone took aim at these two people, intentionally or unintentionally.
"These two men are definitely made of the best materials, with master-level workmanship. The embroidery on their bodies is even more lifelike. Their clothes are luxurious and their spending is even more generous.
Not long after, plates of delicacies were served. Chen Jiu looked at Yu Youyu and said, "Let's eat."
Yu Youyu shook his head: "No, I haven't drank for a long time, I want to drink first."
Chen Jiu didn¡¯t care about them and started eating.
The waiter brought out a wine jar with dirt from somewhere. The waiter gently wiped the wine jar clean. Chen Jiu's eyes lit up. The cowhide of the wine jar was already several years old. This should be a fine wine that has been stored in the cellar for many years.
The waiter wiped the soil clean and placed the wine jar on the table: "Your Majesty, open it yourself."
Hearing this, Yu Youyu gently opened the wine jar, and a fragrance filled the entire stall, and the aroma of wine could float for a mile.
Yu Youyu took a deep breath and said, "I have been storing Bamboo Leaf Green for thirty years. I never expected that such a fine wine could be found in this small place."
The waiter on the side praised: "Sir, you have good eyesight."
Seeing everyone in the stalls looking this way, Yu Youyu smiled softly: "Wine that has been stored in the cellar for so many years is indeed rare. What's more, it's in such a remote place. Well, I won't let you suffer. It¡¯s ten taels of gold, we bought this jar of wine.¡±
"Thank you for the gift, sir." The waiter grinned and ran to the back room to announce the good news.
Some merchants originally thought of following the trend and buying a jar of this fine wine, but when they heard about the ten taels of gold, they shrank their heads.
forget it. Not everyone is as rich as Chen Jiu, and not everyone is as generous as Yu Youyu.
Yu Youyu poured a glass for Chen Jiu, then poured a glass himself and tasted it gently. After a while, he said: "Good wine, really good wine."
Chen Jiu smiled softly: "Good wine is indeed good wine. The longer the wine is stored in the cellar, the more spiritual it will be."
After Chen Jiu finished drinking, he put down the wine glass. The little fox in his arms stretched out his head, as if smelling the fragrance, he climbed onto the table gently and stuck out his tongue to lick it.
"Hahaha, this little guy drinks too." Yu Youyu simply poured a drink for the little fox.
After drinking a glass of wine, the little fox returned to Chen Jiu's arms drunkenly.
The merchants in the distance sighed secretly.The scholar who was sitting next to him, who was neither a Taoist nor a monk, even punched the table: "What a waste of natural resources, such a good wine was wasted by a beast."
After a full meal, Chen Jiu called the waiter: "Do you still have such fine wine?"
The waiter nodded: "There are two more altars."
Chen Jiu took out twenty taels of gold and said, "Bring it to us. We won't rest here tonight and continue on our way. This place is too small and I guess we can't live in it."
The waiter hurriedly put away the gold and brought out the fine wine.
Yu Youyu carefully tied the wine to the horse's back like a treasure, and looked at the donkey like it was guarding against thieves: "Stupid donkey."
The two of them went on the road, and when it was dark, they finally arrived at a forest. Yu Youyu said: "Let's rest here for one night, and we can go to the town tomorrow."
Chen Jiu nodded: "That's fine."
Make a fire, bring wine and food, and put the meat on the fire rack.
When I was about to get some food, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance. The scholar and the guy who looked like a monk but not a Taoist came over and saw Chen Jiu and Yu Youyu. Their faces were filled with joy: "That's great. , I didn¡¯t expect to meet these two brothers here.¡±
Yu Youyu is always enthusiastic: "So we are two brothers. It is fate that we meet here. Let's sit together."
Looking at the wine, the two of them took a sip of saliva.
The scholar raised his hand and said, "Thank you, brother. My surname is Wu."
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the guy who looked like a monk but not a Taoist: "This guy's name is Fu Dachuan, and he is a demon refiner."
"Demon refiner?" This was the first time Chen Jiu had heard of this term.
"Demon refiner!" Yu Youyu exclaimed.
¡°I¡¯ve met you two,¡± Fu Dachuan saluted.
Chen Jiu looked at Yu Youyu: "What is a demon refiner?".
Yu Youyu patted his head and said, "When I saw you dressed up like this, I should have thought, please sit down, please sit down."
After finishing speaking, he turned to Chen Jiu and said, "The demon masters are synonymous with greatness. They can be said to be the guardians of our human race."
Having said this, Yu Youyu said seriously: "The demon refining master is their ancestor. They have practiced a strange skill. This skill can be passed on to the next generation. They have a strange bloodline that has a special influence on the demon clan." It is extremely lethal, and it can even be said that the demon refining master is the nemesis of the demon clan."
At this point, Yu Youyu changed his mind and said: "In ancient times, the world was dominated by the demon clan, and the human race was the food of the demon clan. Later, powerful human beings were born to fight against the demon clan, and even demon refiners were born. They used Demon refining is my profession and my goal of survival, to protect my humane inheritance. But one day, suddenly, the demon refining master in the world suddenly encountered an extremely terrible disaster. He died and was crippled. If he hadn't heard someone today Whenever I talk about this name again, I will forget it."
Fu Dachuan's eyes flickered: "I didn't expect that the young master is so knowledgeable that he actually knows about the profession of Demon Refiner. When I told people about it in the past, everyone just smiled and didn't take it seriously. The Demon Refiner has disappeared in the long river of history. , has long since lost its former glory, and my mission is to restore my glory as a demon refiner."
Chen Jiu was silent in his heart, this is another ancient secret.
"Here, let's drink this glass of wine." Yu Youyu filled the wine glasses for everyone, picked up the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
The scholar surnamed Wu opened his eyes after a while: "Good wine, really good wine."
Fu Dachuan also nodded: "This is the best wine I have ever drunk."
Yu Youyu looked at Fu Dachuan: "I wonder what your brother's plans are in the future?".
Fu Dachuan looked at the fire: "I must work hard to practice and let the world know my reputation as a demon master."
Yu Youyu looked at Chen Jiu: "Boss, didn't you say that you want to recruit all kinds of people with magical powers and specialties in the world? The demon refiner in front of you is the nemesis of most demon clans and should not be missed."
