Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Fourth Heaven's Pride
On the frozen riverside, two old and young men were wearing white clothes and slowly walked side by side. Soon, the two walked into a manor.
The manor is carved with jade railings and jade roofs, and the decoration is very fragrant with books. The courtyard is full of plum blossoms, with plum blossoms, six-petal red, palace pink plums, etc., and there are many categories.
Flying snow is like a catkin, with stars pressing on the branches, shining with the blooming plum blossoms.
As soon as the two stepped into the courtyard, two maids in palace clothes came. After giving a blessed blessing, they led the way ahead.
Following the maid, the two walked along the pebbly path through the courtyard and into the inner room. After walking around a screen painted with the long street of late autumn, they turned into the inner hall. It turned out that this elegantly decorated manor was actually a tavern.
The more than ten tables in the lobby were already crowded, and the rich men who were drinking were drinking hotly. The maid led the two to the second floor and picked a table to sit down.
The second floor is relatively quiet, with only six tables and chairs. The tables and chairs are far apart and are separated by narrow screens, making them more private.
The white-haired old man was obviously a frequent visitor here. After ordering good dishes with his maids, he smiled and said, "This Tingxue Tower is the most famous restaurant in this area. The owner's wife's own snow tastes unique and the stamina is continuous. You will try it later."
Since the two met, the old man has never asked about his name and identity, but he just invited him to drink together, and he has a bold and generous spirit of why he must meet each other when he meets a hero in the world.
It sounded that the dishes served in Xuelou were very fast, and the two of them sat down for only a cup of tea, and four side dishes and two pots of wine were brought to the table.
The white-haired old man fishing on the ice was obviously a gourmet. He explained these four exquisite dishes to Zhuo Yuming, from the selection of ingredients, cooking techniques, to the meaning of the dishes, and it was very clear. Zhuo Yuming tasted the dishes and then took a sip of the so-called signature wine. The old man looked at him with a smile on the opposite side, as if he was asking silently.
"This wine is really good. It is very cool in the mouth, sweet and mellow, and has no spicy taste. After entering the belly, it produces heat, warms the chest and abdomen. The name Pinxue is also very good."
Zhuo Yuming savored it for a moment, drank the remaining wine in one go, put down the wine glass and gave a pertinent comment.
The old man laughed and said, "Wine is naturally a good wine, otherwise I would not have been favored by me. There are only three types of wines in Bingyuanzhou that can attract me. In addition to this ingxue, there are two other types of wine, namely Zui Sanqiu and Gufenjiu. If you have the chance to take you to taste them one by one."
Zhuo Yuming nodded with a smile.
"My younger generation Zhuo Yuming, from Fuyaozhou, dare to ask about the old man's name."
Although the other party never spoke, as a junior, Zhuo Yuming still took the initiative to report to the house. He couldn't just sit at the same table and drink. In the end, he didn't even know the other person's surname, which was too rude.
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "My surname is Bai, just call me Bai Lao. There is no senior or junior. I am just older than you, so there is no need to be polite."
The old man mentioned the matter of bringing up the wine glass as he spoke.
Zhuo Yuming quickly picked up the wine glass to drink with him.
The two of them chatted while drinking. Mr. Bai was quite talkative, astronomy, geography, and humanities were very well known. Zhuo Yuming had at least walked through most of the Xuling Realm and read a lot of books, so his vision was naturally not narrow. The two talked and chatted, and the atmosphere was warm.
Suddenly, the noisy lobby suddenly became quiet and silent. Zhuo Yuming caught this huge contrast at the first time.
I saw a young man with a black long robe and feather fan and a scarf walking around the screen and walked into the lobby. He looked very outstanding, with a pair of young man with a bright eyes like a galaxy, and he stood at the entrance of the lobby, shaking his feather fan.
Behind him was a slender woman, wearing a light blue skirt and a pretty face. She stood behind the young man with a long sword with a deep ancient meaning in her arms, silently.
The handsome man with a star-browed sword is obviously a sword cultivator of a great realm. When he travels, he can still follow him with a sword attendant holding a sword. I think he is also a great child of a great background. However, as soon as this man entered the Xuehu Tower, he immediately fell silent in the lobby. Zhuo Yuming became very interested in this young sword cultivator.
"In the Ningji, Shenzhou, a sword cultivator at the age of 100. In the past few decades, young monks swept across various states without any defeat and are known as the number one genius in the Void Spirit World. When I came to Iceland State five years ago, it was still in a state of destruction. The young generation of the entire Iceland State was unstoppable. In recent years, the popularity of the limelight has even surpassed many older earth immortals."
Old Bai seemed to have seen through Zhuo Yuming's thoughts and directly pointed out the identity of the young sword cultivator.
Zhuo Yuming nodded, it turned out to be a dragon crossing the river.
Not to mention the invincible record of fighting the entire Void Spirit World, just his courage to come to this group of demons to stir up the Fengyun's courage, he is a perfect hero.
However, Ning Ji seems to be a master who is above the top, and he is afraid he is not easy to get along with.
Ning Ji, who had a playful smile on his face, slowly walked up to the second floor with the pretty sword servant. I don’t know if it was a coincidence that the master and servant sat on the table on the left side of Zhuo Yuming and others. After Ning Ji sat down, he looked at them with a smile, which was inexplicable.
Zhuo Yuming's brows twitched slightly, while Old Bai turned a blind eye to it and just continued to drink.
After the young sword cultivator went upstairs, the hustle and bustle in the lobby returned to the lobby, but it was much quieter than the previous buzzing voices. Obviously, the reputation of the genius sword cultivator was still very shocking.
"How is it, do you have the confidence to beat him?"
Old Bai suddenly said something, which shocked Zhuo Yuming.
This famous No. genius in the Void Spirit World actually asked himself if he could beat him and what does this mean.
Zhuo Yuming's hand holding the wine glass was hanging in the air. He did not turn his head to look at the inexplicable gaze. The words Bai Lao said just now were not loud, it was just the normal sound of the two people sitting together. But this volume was not inaudible for a monk in the Guizang Realm.
"It shouldn't be able to beat it. After all, I only have the cave Xuan realm at the moment. I'm afraid I'm not going to have a chance of winning against the Guizang realm sword cultivator."
Zhuo Yuming smiled slightly and said lightly.
Old Bai drank silently, but he didn't know if it was possible, but a slight curve was raised at the corner of his mouth.
"How about this fellow Taoist who is here to discuss with you?"
Ning Ji, who was sitting on the chair drinking, suddenly spoke. The sword servant who had been standing on the side and pouring wine silently also raised his head and glanced at the young man in white. She was a little curious. Her master was actually not a dandy person, and she was quite surprised by his master's provocation.
Zhuo Yuming turned his head slowly and looked at the pride of heaven who was the most rebellious and unruly Bingyuanzhou, who was dared to fight, with a calm expression.
Before he knew it, the whole winery fell silent again. The monks from Bingyuanzhou who had been silently following him with their spiritual sense were quietly waiting for the strange man's reaction when they heard the invitation from Jianglong.
"Then let's talk."
