Chapter 18 A Pot of Sake(1/2)

Xu Shaolin and the others never stopped Gu Qingyan from drinking. Gu Qingyan could control it himself. After three glasses of wine, Gu Qingyan waved her hand to indicate that she would not drink anymore.

"I remember that in March, I buried a jar of peach blossom wine under the old tree. No one would touch it." Gu Qingyan learned some wine-making methods from Qian Huayu and her mother, and when she had nothing to do, she would

Fiddle with these things.

At the beginning of the year, Gu Qingyan saw that the peach blossoms in the valley were in bloom, so she picked some peach blossoms with all her heart. There were some wines made by the folks from the mountains in the valley. Gu Qingyan took them over and soaked the peach blossoms in them.

After that, she buried the jar of wine in her "exclusive wine cellar" - under the old tree in Xu Shaolin's Wuyuan.

Xu Shaolin remembered what happened and said, "No. Do you want it now?"

Gu Qingyan chuckled and said, "No, no, I just remembered it suddenly."

Xu Shaolin sighed softly and said, "I'll find time to help you get up tomorrow."

Now Gu Qingyan stopped working and said hurriedly: "What are you doing out here!"

"If I remember correctly, you buried more than one jar under the old tree!" Xu Shaolin replied. If he remembered correctly, there are now a jar of peach blossom wine, a jar of osmanthus wine and a jar of camellia wine under the old tree.

He brought the camellia back from Qingzhou.

"Well, there's more than one jar, and there's also chrysanthemum brew." Zong Yue added.

In addition, the four corners of the old tree were really complete. Xu Shaolin really wanted to take out all the wine jars, so as not to affect the growth of the old tree.

Gu Qingyan curled her lips and could only say: "Okay, but brother, you have to find a place for me to put it."

Everything that comes out of her hands is her treasure, and she is very rare.

"I know. Mo, find a place for her treasures tomorrow and put them there." Xu Shaolin said to Baili Mo.

Baili Mo nodded and said to Gu Qingyan in a doting tone: "Don't worry, find a shady place and ask Xijue and the others to help you move there tomorrow."

Speaking of Xijue and the others, Gu Qingyan answered: "When do you plan to release them back to Shimen?"

Gu Qingyan didn't want to watch Shimen's training alone. By the way, she also had the obligation to check whether the skills of these people had deteriorated. Anyway, after Beiming came back, she threw them back to Shimen, and they are still inside now.

Xu Shaolin asked her: "When do you want it?"

Gu Qingyan thought about it and said, "Tomorrow."

If there is no need to say it now, then say it tomorrow.

"Stop it, Nanke and Xijue will be released to you, but Dongli... Girl, you also know that Dongli is your elder brother's right-hand man, you'd better keep him by his side." Zong Yue interrupted.

Dong Li could still occasionally be lazy and do some work for Dong Li. He didn't forget to wink at Xu Shaolin as he spoke. When Xu Shaolin received the signal and looked back at him, he heard Xu Shaolin say to Gu Qingyan: "

Dongli can't give it to you, so he has to help with the inventory."

"Understood, but the trial is two days after the inventory, and he has to be there during those two days." Gu Qingyan said.

After agreeing to negotiate with Xu Shaolin, this meal was almost over. Gu Qingyan's Jingxin Courtyard faced the Qinghu Lake in Peach Blossom Stream. There was a pavilion built on the lake. Originally there was no name, so Gu Qingyan had to give him a drinking cup.

pavilion.

The people in the valley were spoiled by her, and Gu Ning even mentioned it herself and gave the pavilion a name.

Gu Qingyan likes this pavilion even more. In the spring, the camellias make wine here, in the summer the wind blows to feed the fish, and in the autumn they tinker with those poisonous treasures. In the winter, when it gets cold, they rarely take it outside, and it only snows.

Xu Shaolin and the others brought Gu Qingyan back, stood with her by the lake for a while, and then sent her into the hospital. Nanke had already brought the medicine that Gu Qingyan was going to change and drink.

For Gu Qingyan's current injury, Su Xin could just change the dressing. Zong Yue had seen it and found that the wound was much better, the scarring would be slower, and there was nothing else.

The three of them planned to go back, but were stopped by Gu Qingyan: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Zong Yue thought that Gu Qingyan was feeling uncomfortable, so he asked hurriedly.

Gu Qingyan shook her head and said, "No, I just want you to wait and help me look at something."

Xu Shaolin agreed, and the three of them waited for her in the outer hall. Gu Qingyan entered the inner room. Suxin helped Gu Qingyan change her clothes, apply medicine, and gave Gu Qingyan a decoction of suitable temperature to drink. This After completing a set of actions, the master and servant left the inner room.

Zong Yue saw that Gu Qingyan was holding a brocade box when he came out. He glanced at each other with Xu Shaolin and Baili Mo and guessed that the brocade box contained the Gu insects that Gu Qingyan had raised to them before.

Just as they were thinking about it, Gu Qingyan had already arrived in front of them, and then opened the brocade box and saw the Gu insect. Zong Yue and Baili Mo had seen it before. At that time, the insect was just an egg, but now it will He moved his body, thinking that he was being fed by Gu Qingyan.

Zong Yue looked at the brocade box and then at Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan usually wore a mask, so it was difficult for him to see what Gu Qingyan's face looked like, and the pulse was the same when diagnosing the pulse.

Xu Shaolin saw what Zong Yue was thinking and said to Gu Qingyan: "You are quite good at raising these Gu insects."

Gu Qingyan was about to show off arrogantly, but she heard Xu Shaolin say: "I don't know how to raise myself, so take off the mask."

Except for Zong Yue's need to see her scars, Gu Qingyan had rarely taken off her mask in front of them. Xu Shaolin's words seemed to follow Gu Qingyan's wishes.

Gu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then took off her mask after a while. For them, Gu Qingyan had nothing to hide, she just didn't want them to worry too much.

The removed mask was put aside, and Gu Qingyan suddenly felt at a loss while sitting on the chair, with her head lowered and her hands twisting her dress.

Xu Shaolin heard a soft sigh in his ears. Xu Shaolin stood opposite Gu Qingyan and said in a particularly gentle tone: "It seems that Lao Er's medicine is effective."

Gu Qingyan raised her head slightly and saw Xu Shaolin looking at her with a smile in his eyes. In fact, she also knew that her scars were getting better. Some scars that were not deep at first were almost invisible now without looking carefully.

Zong Yue saw that Gu Qingyan's face didn't look anything serious, it was just a little less red, so he told Nanke to tell the kitchen to give Gu Qingyan something to replenish his energy and blood in the past few days.

"Put it on." Xu Shaolin put on another mask for Gu Qingyan with his own hands. For Gu Qingyan, the current mask is a kind of protection and a kind of disguise, so let's leave it like this for now.

After receiving the concern from these people, Gu Qingyan pointed to the brocade box and said about the Gu insect: "This Gu insect has grown up today, but it will take some time before it can be used."

"What do you need?" Baili Mo asked.

Every time Gu Qingyan called them seriously, he would always find something for them to do.

Gu Qingyan smiled, Baili Mo was the one who knew her.

"You need some poisonous insects or something. After all, it doesn't have to be all my blood to feed it now."

The voodoo has grown up and has recognized its master. All that is left is to train it properly. Gu Qingyan needs some highly toxic bugs and small animals to train her voodoo.

On weekdays, the materials she used to make poison were either obtained by Beiming and his ghost guards or by her three brothers.

Now that Beiming and the Ghost Guard were temporarily unavailable, she could only rely on these three people.

"Okay." Xu Shaolin promised Gu Qingyan, since Zong Yue is here, doing this won't be a problem.

Gu Qingyan received Xu Shaolin's response, a well-behaved meal, and repeated assurances from Zong Yue and the others that she would control the voodoo and would not test the voodoo on herself. Looking at the helpless expressions of the three of them, Gu Qingyan achieved her goal today.

After that day, Jingxinyuan received some unusual bugs one after another. The ordinary servants did not dare to do anything without permission, so they had to come here with all their heart.

Fortunately for Gu Qingyan, he had been staying at Shimen for the past few days, so he took advantage of the lunch time not long ago and before the afternoon practice started to call Nan Kexijue and Beiming.

When Nanke, Xijue and Beiming came to the open space, they saw that in addition to Gu Qingyan there were twelve ghost guards. The three of them stepped forward and said, "Master."

In Shimen, Gu Qingyan is the master, so everyone calls him the same.

Gu Qingyan was wearing a mask today that only covered the upper right half of her face. The evil smile on the corner of her mouth could be clearly seen: "Although you usually perform your duties, here, I hope you still remember who you are."

Gu Qingyan said, a long time ago, she said that the most difficult people in Shimen are not the secret guards or shadow guards below. The most difficult ones are her and Beiming, because one day, who among the Shimen disciples will defeat them?

, then it is possible to take their place.

As for Gu Qingyan, she does not allow herself to fail, and she does not want to change people around her. It would be too troublesome to adapt again, and it is difficult to cultivate a tacit understanding.

For Beiming and others, this may be more about men's dignity and their self-esteem.

Therefore, whenever they return to Peach Blossom Stream, they will return to Shimen to train with each other, and it is the same today.

Everyone bowed their hands to each other and climbed onto the plum blossom pile in the open space in batches. The twelve ghost guards took the lead in this exercise. It took a moment to burn incense to see who was still on the plum blossom pile.

Dongqing, the leader, was one of the ghost guards that both Gu Qingyan and Beiming were very optimistic about. On the plum blossom pile, the people opposite were enemies and brothers. Dongqing did not use all his strength at first, and everyone around him seemed to be testing each other.

Gu Qingyan was pleased with this move.

After a trial, they began to use their true skills one after another. Each of the twelve ghost guards had their own weapons. Gu Qingyan had no restrictions. They could use them however they wanted. For a moment, the sound of swords could be heard.

Quick position and change.

Hearing a "thud", Gu Qingyan turned around and looked over. Dongqing, who had always had the upper hand, was about to fall off the plum blossom pile under Dongxin's attack. This sound was the sound of him hitting the pillar.

Dongqing endured the pain, used the force to turn over and jump up, and kicked Dongxin in mid-air before he could adjust.

Dong Xin turned around and blocked the flying kick, but he had no choice but to take a step back. His feet were already on the edge of the plum blossom pile, and he would fall off at any time if he bent back.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Dongqing taking advantage of the victory and attacking him again, so he simply took advantage of the situation and lowered his body to avoid the attack, giving him some time to adjust.

As the two of them were going back and forth, several people nearby had dropped their plum blossom stakes, and the situation gradually changed from one-on-one to one-on-two or one-on-many.

Dongqing glanced at Dongxin, and the two of them nodded in agreement, and together they changed their targets and attacked the other person.

Seeing their transformation, Gu Qingyan smiled and said, yes, this is what she wants.

In this world, no one can guarantee that their own force will always be higher than others. So for them to fight together, if they want to remain invincible, apart from their own martial arts, it is cooperation and cooperation between people.

That natural consensus and tacit understanding.

A stick of incense has passed, and Dongqing and Dongxin, who were the most fierce at the beginning, are still on the plum blossom pile. The curvature of the corner of Gu Qingyan's mouth means that their result is not bad.

The two got off the plum blossom pile and stepped forward: "Master."

"Very good, let's go see the others." Gu Qingyan said.

People who have fallen into the plum blossom pile do not mean that they are bad, but people have different levels and strengths. Only when different people complement each other can they achieve the strength that Gu Qingyan wants.

Dongqing and Dongxin stepped back and walked towards the others. Everyone's expressions were not disappointed, but more energetic. When they saw the two approaching, they all greeted them.

"It's our turn." Gu Qingyan looked at the three people around her.
