Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 111 Shen Xuzi and Qu Jiulang

Seeing that Jiang Xuan opened the curtains and looked towards the direction of the river bank, the little girl sitting on the side hurriedly introduced:

"My lord, the apricot tree on the embankment was planted by the Qujia Winery. It is said that it took a lot of effort to make the apricot tree bloom all year round."

"By the way, the apricot blossoms in their family use the apricot blossoms from those apricot trees."

"It's just that there are not many apricot trees, and even if they bloom all year round, they can't make much wine, so the wine shop only watches people sell wine."

Jiang Xuan nodded but did not respond to the little girl's words.

Although the little girl is from Jersey County, she probably doesn't know as much about apricot trees as Jiang Xuan.

In Jiang Xuan's eyes, the apricot trees by the river exuded a hazy spiritual light.

That is to say, the apricot tree is a spiritual thing, but I don't know if it has given birth to a spirit and become an apricot demon.

"A total of 49 apricot trees, all of which gave birth to spiritual light, and the brightness of the light emitted from each tree is exactly the same."

"So is the Lord's family raising it better, or can these apricot trees be regarded as the same one?"

"Probably belong to the same apricot tree. I don't know if I can ask the master about the branching method."

"If it is possible, then the willows on the mountain may be planted by division."

Thoughts kept surging in my heart, and the carriage gradually approached the river embankment.

"Sir, here we are."

After a while, the little girl's voice reached Jiang Xuan's ears, "The owner of the wine shop said that too much noise would affect the spirituality of the wine, so they bought a large piece of land by the river embankment, and then erected a fence. "

"To buy wine, we have to walk in."

He opened the door curtain and got off the carriage, glanced at the four characters "Qujia Winery" written on the wall of the fence gate, and glanced at the winding path behind the gate wall. Jiang Xuan just wanted to say something when he heard Say hello:

"Fellow Daoist, are you also here to buy wine at the wine shop?"

Following the prestige, Jiang Xuan saw a thin Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe and holding a golden lantern in his hand.

The lantern in the Taoist priest's hand was dotted with stars, just looking at it gave people a sense of tranquility, as if there was an inexplicable feeling of warmth surging from the bottom of my heart.

Recalling the records in the book, and the words of the old man pulling the ox cart on the road to Jersey County, Jiang Xuan showed a smile on his face and hugged Yin Yang:

"Jiang Daoxuan from the Shenxiao sect, I have met fellow Taoists."

Although Jiang Xuan was wearing a Confucian robe, he didn't completely cover up his aura.

Ordinary people, such as the little girl who showed him the way and the groom who drove the car, naturally couldn't see his magic.

But this skinny Taoist priest is also a monk, so he was not surprised at all to be able to reveal his identity.

Seeing that Jiang Xuan declared himself his family name, the thin Taoist also bowed to Jiang Xuan:
"Hong Chen Dao, Shen Xuzi, I have met Jiang Daoyou."

The way of the world of mortals is not a sect of monasticism, but a way of practicing in the world of mortals, most of them are self-proclaimed by casual practitioners.

In contrast, there is Qingxiu, who is hidden in the deep mountains and great swamps.

Such as Jiang Xuan.

When living in Qingxiu in Zhushan, you can call yourself a monk of Qingxiu Taoism.

Now, if you want to hide your identity when you go out to practice in the mountains, you can also call yourself a monk in the world of mortals and disguise yourself as a casual cultivator.

However, Jiang Xuan felt that there was no need to hide his identity in front of the Taoist in front of him.

Sure enough, after Shen Xuzi introduced himself, he asked the previous question, "Jiang Daoyou, are you also here to buy wine?"

His attitude towards Jiang Xuan did not change because of Jiang Xuan's identity.

Jiang Xuan nodded:

"Why don't you come to this winery to buy wine?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Xuzi's eyes lit up, "Then why don't we go?"

"Then go together."

The two walked side by side, talking and walking towards the interior of the winery.

Behind him, the coachman pulled the carriage to one side, but the little girl strode forward, hanging behind the two of them thoughtfully.

If you listen carefully, there is a faint voice in the wind, "I also said that you are not a master, now you have exposed chicken feet" and the like.

During the conversation, they walked more than a hundred steps, and after bypassing a small forest, a row of small buildings by the river came into Jiang Xuan's eyelids.

"Qujiu Lang, the honored guest is here, why don't you hurry up and treat him with your apricot blossom wine?"

Following Shen Xuzi's high congratulations, a girl wearing apricot blossoms, about seven or eight years old, suddenly poked her head out of the door.

When she saw Shen Xuzi, she waved her arms and ran to the inner courtyard shouting, "Brother Nine, it's too bad, that bull-nosed man is here to beg for a drink again."

"This time he brought a scholar with him."

Hearing what the little girl said, Shen Xuzi reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, and smiled awkwardly:
"Children's words are free, children's words are free."

"How can it be said that the priest asked me to drink? I paid for the drink, the Taoist priest."

After finishing the words, Shen Xuzi brought Jiang Xuan to the gazebo outside Xiaozhu:

"No one else can enter the Qu Family Winery except those with the surname Qu. Those who come to buy wine usually wait in this pavilion."

"By the way, Qu Jiulang is the ninth generation owner of Qujia Distillery. His name is Qu Yu. People who know him all call him Jiulang or Jiulang."

After Shen Xuzi finished speaking, a young man in a light blue robe came out from the small building, holding the girl with an apricot flower on her head.

"No wine today."

Hearing Qu Jiulang's words, Shen Xuzi was unhappy at the time, "I'm not going to buy wine today."

After saying that, Shen Xuzi led Jiang Xuan out:

"Fellow Jiang Daoist from Shenxiao faction came to buy wine, you must sell it?"

Qu Jiulang pointed at Shen Xuzi helplessly when he heard the words, "You are a Taoist priest, you know how to cheat other people's wine."

After saying that, he put down the girl in his arms, and then bowed to Jiang Xuan:
"Jersey Quyu, I met Jiang Daoyou."

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan immediately returned a salute, "Jiang Daoxuan from Shenxiao sect, I have met Fellow Daoist Qu."

Obviously, Qu Jiulang is also a monk.

Moreover, he is an innate monk who has reached the innate realm and lived a hundred and five years.

It was said before that there is inheritance in the practice world.

It is even more difficult for mortals to ascend to heaven without inheritance.

The inheritance of the practice world can be roughly divided into five types: Taoist tombs, Taoist temples, sects, casual cultivators and apprentices, and families.

The kung fu practiced by Qu Jiulang is probably the way of cultivating Taoism passed down by his family.

After greeting each other and exchanging pleasantries for a while, Qu Jiulang came again, "Why did fellow Taoist come to buy wine today?"

Jiang Xuan saw that Qu Jiulang brought up the matter of buying wine, and after thinking for a while, he took off the yellow leather gourd around his waist, and then opened the mouth of the gourd:

"I happened to find a wine worm when I was traveling, so I wanted to buy some good wine."

The next moment, the scent of sweet wine, completely different from the scent of glutinous rice and wine in the air, emanated from the mouth of the gourd, making the scent of wine in the pavilion even more intoxicating.

Smelling the aroma of wine that seemed to be intoxicating for three days, a trace of intoxication flashed in Shen Xuzi's eyes, "Good wine."

"Jiang Daoyou is lucky to be able to find the wine worm."

"I've been a Taoist priest all over the country, how come I don't have this luck?"
