Chapter 0066 Mountain God

Xishan Mountain

At this moment, yin and yang are in full swing, and the ice spring is sweet and clear, adding a touch of flavor.

A few scholars walked together, each with extraordinary aura and showing their own achievements. One of them, a man in green, looked at the sky and said, "Classmates, I wonder how many more hours are needed to get to Yanfeng

Brother Liu, there's no need to speculate. Look at the highest peak in the northwest mountains, which stands out from the rest, and that's Yan Peak, "said Zhao Chang, pointing to Yan Peak to explain when he saw Liu Du asking his colleague.

Liu Du looked along and saw that the Yan Peak was lush and beautiful all year round.

After admiration, he lamented, "This distance may seem close, but it's actually quite far. With our feet, when will we be able to reach the mountaintop

Zhao Chang chuckled and said, "The first half of the journey is paved with stone steps! Even if the second half is difficult, there are still inns on the mountainside where you can rest. You are good at cooking and drinking. After eating and sleeping, you will have the strength to hit the road tomorrow

Liu Du's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he went up the mountain path, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

However, these scholars generally have a foundation in Taoism and may not necessarily achieve success. Their physical strength has increased significantly, and a tall and broad scholar followed suit with great strides, saying, "Since that's the case, I've also followed suit

The noise caused the mountain path to spread far away, startling the birds in the forest and arousing the idea of competition among everyone, who rushed up together.

Zhao Chang and Jin Chuquan, this small group, were waiting for Ye Qing on a hillside, laughing loudly and saying, "Are you afraid

Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh at it, but his heart was in a daze. He remembered a sentence in his heart: "Just like a young student, a scholar full of spirit, with a powerful and vigorous manner

Come on! "He responded loudly, taking steps up the stairs, but looking at the tall and broad scholar ahead with a hint of brilliance in his eyes.

This scholar is Li Huaiji, who is now a child. His family background is not very good, but he is refreshing and the protagonist of this night visit to the mountain god.

This time, I have a prophet who came here ten days in advance and quickly integrated into this small group composed of scholars with my own achievements and literary talents.

Now, we are about to encounter this opportunity.

The spring scenery in the mountains is faintly rich along the way, and occasionally mountain springs pass by, forming small waterfalls. Pine and cypress trees are lush all year round.

The scholar walked and stopped, observing the scenery in the mountains. Jin Zuquan, a local, led the way ahead and said, "Classmates, this tavern has been in operation for generations. Although the number of villagers in the mountains is limited, it is not big, but over the years, it has something extraordinary. The peach blossom wine in this tavern is unique in the vicinity. It is rumored that drinking three jars of wine shows the blooming peach blossoms in the mountains

This endless introduction made readers smile. Ye Qing asked with a smile, "That peach blossom must have been dreamed of in my sleep

Upon hearing these words, Jin Ququan was taken aback and couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. He had come here to drink peach blossom wine, but had never tasted three jars. At this moment, some people suspected it and couldn't refute it, only saying, "I'm ashamed to spread it without evidence. I'm laughing at Brother Ye

Ye Qing shook her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Who has a huge number of people? Why don't we give it a try this time? Well, let me be honest, I'm not good at drinking

I heard everyone laughing and saying, 'Pushing away! It should be punished!'

As the evening approached, everyone felt a little tired. However, the mountain road gradually opened up and a place suddenly became flat. A tavern was shrouded in clouds and mist, with a pole standing in front of the door. A large flag fluttered in the wind, and the words "tavern" were written on it. The entire tavern was mostly built with thatch, in the wilderness of the mountains, and the construction was simple.

Here we are, this is it, "Jin Ququan patted his hand and pointed from a distance.

In fact, he didn't need to say it. Everyone knew they had arrived and breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had practiced Taoism, they were all scholars. Running around these mountain roads was tiring, so they all headed inside.

Ye Qing carefully observed the restaurants and shops here, as well as the houses behind them. After feeling for a moment, he realized that it was indeed the breath of a living person, not a change in ghosts and monsters. Only then did he feel relieved.

In the mountains and wilderness, being careful is never a big mistake.

As soon as the scholar sat down, a waiter came up and greeted him, "What would you like, gentlemen? The small shop in the mountains doesn't have good food, so please be patient. However, our peach blossom wine is unique. It can intoxicate three immortals and drink three jars, showing the peach blossoms in the mountains. In the past, this peach blossom wine in our store had the opportunity to be made into a tribute

You're a waiter, but you're good at talking. You bring up everything in the store and serve three jars of wine first. Let me see if there are any so-called mountain peach blossoms, "Li Huaiji said loudly, somewhat impatient and extremely bold.

Upon seeing it, Ye Qing's heart stirred. This person has a different personality, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Brother Li, although I know you're coming quickly and boldly, can't you drink three jars? Don't get drunk and expect me to carry you to Yanfeng. "A familiar scholar heard his words and joked.

Li Huaiji is tall and broad, always bold and unrestrained. At this moment, he laughed heartily and said, "If I don't drink here, how can I count myself as having been here? If I get drunk, I'll sleep in the tavern. You don't have to worry about me

In just a moment, the waiter sliced a few pounds of cooked beef, served a chicken, added some vegetables, and placed several jars of good peach blossom wine on the table for the scholar to enjoy slowly, but he himself went down.

As the scholars ate and drank, bowls of peach blossom wine poured out. The aroma of the wine was overflowing, entering people's hearts and minds. They couldn't help but be moved and praised, "Fruit is a good wine

Li Huaiji took a sip, but remained silent. He just got up and ordered another jar, saying, "This bowl is small, it's not refreshing to drink

As he spoke, he switched to a large bowl and fell down. He tilted his head back to drink, and in the blink of an eye, half a bowl fell down. Everyone was moved to see him.

I've heard that Brother Li is very pleased for a long time. When I saw him today, it was true. "Zhao Chang looked surprised and quickly said," When it comes to alcohol tolerance, we are the first

Time flies, drinking fine wine is not worth a fleeting moment, "Li Huaiji smiled upon hearing this and drank a few more bowls, instantly feeling a little drunk.

The scholars present were all dazzled by the words, but some were unwilling. At this moment, their eyes rolled and they spoke up, saying, "Brother Li, I heard that you have a great reputation, and today's results are extraordinary. However, I heard that Yanfeng is not far away, it is a mountain temple. Can you invite the mountain god to drink with us? We will raise money to hold a banquet for you to drink. How about that

At this moment, Ye Qing knew the time had come and smiled, "Yanfeng is Yanfeng. Although it is one entity, it is called Shaoyan Mountain. How did the mountain god of Yanfeng come to Shaoyan Mountain? Don't make such a noise and don't offend the gods

Yanfeng and Shaoyan Mountain were originally one entity, but during the previous dynasty, there was a reason to divide this mountain into two equal parts. Ye Qingzi thought carefully, why did this single "inviting the mountain god to drink at night" win the favor of the mountain god, making Li Huaiji suddenly have the fortune of becoming a successful scholar and successful candidate?

Before coming, I checked the county annals and learned about the territory divided by the previous dynasty, combined with the tragic death of Li Huaiji in the future and the result of his association with the Jurong tribe. This made me feel a little clearer in my heart, so I spoke up.

Li Huaiji was originally drinking on his own. When he heard this, he put down the large bowl in his hand, his eyes shining brightly, and was about to respond. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

The person who was originally unwilling turned their eyes again and said, "What's so difficult about this? Yanfeng and Shaoyan Mountain are already one, and the mountain god is also the same. There is no division of territory. In this way, if Brother Li really invites us, we will all show respect and it won't be considered impolite. We will bear these responsibilities ourselves

As soon as these words fell, Ye Qing's goal was achieved and he remained silent. Meanwhile, Li Huaiji glanced at many of his classmates in front of him and said, "Oh? Is that what you mean

The scholars were delighted to agree and nodded in agreement, saying, "So, if Brother Li can invite a mountain god, what if we raise money to hold a banquet? If the mountain god blames us, we will bear the responsibility

They were just joking, but they didn't think that Li Huaiji would really accept it. They just finished speaking, and Li Huaiji suddenly stood up, laughed heartily, and left: "You guys wait here until I invite the mountain god back, and after we finish drinking together, don't forget about the banquet

Li Huaiji disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone standing still and staring at each other.

Yanfeng is snowy all year round and never melts. It is inhabited by mountain gods. Every day, more than ten scholars come together to stay at the tavern, but as soon as they return, there is a landslide

A tragic event from a past life, with each sentence flowing through my heart and vividly displayed before me.

Amidst the mist, Ye Qing looked at the dozen or so scholars, each with a dark expression on their faces, and even a few with blood shining. With a sense of determination in her heart, she said, "I saw Brother Li run away after drinking half a jar. How could that be? I'll catch up with him with wine and make sure he finishes three jars, and see why the peach blossoms in the mountains are so brilliant

Jin Ququan woke up and said, "What did I say? I almost let this guy slip away

Brother Ye, go quickly! "Everyone cheered.

Ye Qing smiled and walked out of the mountain shop. Following the mountain path, she saw a golden eave among the branches and leaves of the emerald forest not far away on the hillside.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived in front of the Mountain Temple, which was connected to several buildings that were smooth, neat, and magnificent, indicating a large number of believers.

Ye Qing nodded secretly and pushed the main hall door in, looking strange on his face.

Above the hall, Li Huaiji was bending his waist, his shoulder and arm muscles bulging, panting, trying to lift the mountain god statue on the pedestal. However, he was unable to exert enough force and was also drunk, so his luck was not very good when he tried to lift it. He couldn't lift it for a long time.

Brother Li, what are you? "Rao Yeqing had some expectations, but when she actually saw it, she couldn't help but laugh or cry.

Ah, Brother Ye has come just in time! "Li Huaiji looked up and exclaimed in surprise," Come on, help me put your hand on it and lift it down together

This is a golden lacquer clay sculpture, weighing over a hundred pounds! Even if we can lift it back, we can just lie down

Li Huaiji was shocked and didn't believe it. He put down the statue and tried to carry it on his back with all his might. He stumbled and almost fell down, so he had to put on a bitter face and said, "It's very heavy, but what a big man says will be true. I must carry it back

Ye Qing was speechless and gave a bitter smile, "If you're not good at making friends, consider me unlucky. Let's go together

Seeing these two men shoulder the weight together, step by step, and reach a boundary not far away, Ye Qing felt a chill in her heart.

One, two, three, crossed! "This sentence finally fell on my mind, and I could only hear a dull thunder from the sky that was gradually getting dark. The mountain seemed to sway down.
