About two hundred years ago, a genius appeared in the Qingcheng Monastery. He was talented, he was still young, but he had already cultivated to rank five Gu Master, there was still a chance for him to advance further. He was famous all over the world and had boundless glory. He was entrusted with hope and heavy responsibilities by the sect members.
He was the fifth generation sect leader who was the most talked about in the history of the sect. Unfortunately, in order to protect his disciples, the fifth generation sect leader had to fight against the rank five demon Wine and Woman Walker. After a fierce battle, he defeated the Wine and Pervert and made the demon kneel and beg for mercy.
But in the end, the fifth generation sect leader was not careful and was shamelessly ambushed by the Wine and Women Walker. The Fifth Generation killed the Wine and Woman Walker in anger, but he himself was also seriously injured and died young. This tragic story had been passed down to this day and was widely praised by the disciples of the Qingcheng Monastery.
However, Meng Fanchen understood that this story could not be completely believed. Because it had a huge loophole. Two months after his previous life, a Gu Master who was drunk from a breakup was lying outside the village, the fragrance of wine unexpectedly attracted a Liquor worm.
The Gu Master chased after the Liquor worm and found the corpse of the Liquor Walker in a secret underground cave, along with the Liquor Walker's inheritance.
The Gu Master quickly returned to the sect and reported this matter, causing a huge commotion. After the storm gradually subsided, he also benefited from it. He got the Liquor worm, his cultivation increased, and his girlfriend abandoned him and chased him instead. This matter made him a famous person in the sect.
The story was passed down from generation to generation, and it was normal for it to be different. But in Meng Fan Chen's memories, the Gu Master's claim of discovering the inheritance was extremely true, but he suspected that there might be other truths hidden within. "I didn't discover it at first, but as I explored and analyzed it these past few days, I discovered that there was something fishy about this matter.”As the night grew darker, Meng Fanchen walked in the forest around the sect. In his heart, he was reviewing and consolidating all the known clues.
"Put yourself in my shoes, if I was that Gu Master and found the Wine and Lust Walker's inheritance, why didn't I take it for myself and report it to the sect? Forget about the sect's sense of honor, people were all selfish. What prompted that Gu Master to go against his greed and willingly give up all his benefits to report this discovery to the upper echelons of the sect?”
The truth was always hidden in the fog of history. Meng Fanchen racked his brains but to no avail. After all, there were too few clues. The only two clues were true and false, so they couldn't be completely trusted.
Meng Fanchen couldn't help but think of himself." No matter what, after buying this jar of Qingcheng wine, I only have two primeval stones left. If he still couldn't find the inheritance, it would be troublesome. Today's move could be considered a gamble!”
However, he did not have enough primeval stones to refine Gu worms. Instead, it was better to invest in this wine to increase the success rate of this trip. If it was anyone else, most of them would have followed the prescribed steps to accumulate primeval stones. However, this was too inefficient for Meng Fanchen. He would rather take the risk and take a gamble. People of the demonic path always liked to take risks.
At this moment, the night was getting darker and the moon was like a tooth. The clouds covered the moonlight, as if they were covering the crescent moon with a thin veil.
Because it had just rained for two days and three nights, the turbid air in the mountains had been washed clean, leaving only the purest freshness. The fresh air was as pure as a piece of white paper, which was more conducive to the spread of the wine fragrance. This was one of the reasons why Meng Fanchen was so confident tonight.
"This is the only area left unexplored.”He stopped when he reached a forest.
The exploration a few days ago was not without gains. At the very least, it proved that the Wine and Women Walker did not die in those places. This was the second reason why Meng Fanchen was so confident.
In the mountain forest, the grass was lush, the white flowers were long, and the green trees were straight like jade poles.
Meng Fanchen slapped open the earthen seal of the small wine jar, and instantly, a rich fragrance of wine wafted into his nose.
Qingcheng wine could be said to be the best wine in Qingcheng Mountain. This was the third reason why Meng Fanchen was so confident tonight.
"These three reasons add up. If I want to succeed, it must be tonight!”Meng Fanchen cheered in his heart as he slowly tilted the wine jar. He poured a small portion of the Qingcheng wine onto the stone.
If those hunters saw this, they would definitely be heartbroken. This wine was worth two primeval stones…However, Meng Fanchen remained indifferent.
The rich smell of alcohol quickly spread. In the night, a breeze blew gently, and a faint fragrance floated, permeating the forest. Meng Fanchen stood on the spot, smelling the fragrance of the wine. He waited for a moment, but there was no movement. A nightingale-like bird was chirping not far away. Its voice was like a string of silver bells. His gaze was calm and he wasn't surprised. He moved his feet and turned around to go to the next place a few hundred meters away.
At this place, he did the same thing and poured out another stream of wine. He stood there and waited for a moment. After several rounds of changing directions and pouring wine, there was not much left of the Green City wine in the jar.
"This is the last time." Meng Fanchen sighed in his heart. He turned the wine jar upside down and poured all the remaining wine into it.
The wine spilled on the flowers, and the flowers swayed. The wildflowers were wet with the wine and slightly lowered their heads.
Meng Fanchen stood on the spot, staring at his surroundings with his last hope. It was late at night. A thick cloud covered the moonlight.
The darkness was like a curtain that covered the entire forest. The surroundings were completely silent. The green trees stood there alone, leaving a straight silhouette in Meng Fanchen's eyes.
He stood there quietly, listening to his own breathing. Then, he felt the remaining hope in his chest flowing away.
"I still failed?" He muttered in his heart," Tonight, the three great advantages accumulated together but failed. I couldn't find the Liquor worm's shadow. This meant that the success rate would be even lower in the future. I only have two primeval stones left, and I still need to refine the Green Light Gu. We can't take any more risks." The results of taking risks were often not ideal. However, if it was the ideal result, then the benefits would definitely be considerable.
Meng Fanchen liked to take risks, but he was not a gambler. He was not the kind of gambler who would lose so much that his eyes would turn red. He had his own bottom line, and he knew his own capital. Now, his many years of life experience told him that it was time to stop.
Sometimes, life was just like that. There was always a goal that was so beautiful and full of temptation. It seemed to be close at hand, but after much effort, he could not reach it. Let people toss and turn, sleep and think of submission.
"This is the helplessness of life, but also the charm of life.”Meng Fanchen shook his head with a bitter smile and turned to leave.
At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, like a gentle hand gently brushing away the clouds in the night sky. The clouds passed by slowly, revealing the crescent moon that was obscured. The crescent moon hung in the sky like a white jade cup, pouring down the snow-white moonlight.
The moonlight shone on the green forest, the mountain rocks, the flowers, and Meng Fanchen.
Meng Fanchen was dressed in plain clothes. His young face looked even fairer under the gentle touch of the moonlight. The darkness seemed to have disappeared in an instant, replaced by a snow-like frost. As if influenced by the moonlight, the nightingales began to sing again. This time, there was not just one, but several, scattered in the forest, responding one after another.
At the same time, a type of black cricket that lived in the mountains and moved under the moonlight also sang the song of life. They only came out at night, and their bodies were glowing red. At this moment, they jumped out in groups, and their bodies flashed with a ruby-like glow. At first glance, Meng Fanchen saw that the black-ball crickets were like a red water that could jump. They stepped on the grass and wildflowers, leaping into the forest under the moon. The mountain forest was like a puddle of water, and the green jade trees flashed with a warm jade-like luster under the moonlight.
At this moment, nature showed Meng Fanchen its infinite beauty.
Meng Fanchen subconsciously stopped in his tracks, feeling as if he was in a fairyland. He was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he subconsciously turned around to look. The wildflowers and grass that had been poured with the wine of Qingcheng trembled slightly in the wind, but there was still nothing.
Meng Fanchen smiled faintly and retracted his gaze. However, when he looked up, he saw a white snow shadow.
This snow shadow was stuck to a small flower not far away. Under the moonlight, it looked like a round pearl hanging from the sky.
Meng Fanchen's eyes widened as his body trembled slightly. His heart thumped and his heartbeat quickened.
It was the Liquor worm!
