It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 593 Divine wine, epic item!
How can I describe the decoration in the administrative building? It gives the feeling of a real state-owned factory in the 1960s and 1970s.

Green painted window frames, cool blue glass, grey and white painted walls, and simple tables, chairs and benches fixed with iron nails.
Not to mention the big photos and slogans that can be seen everywhere, the smell is simply too strong.

However, those photos and slogans seemed to be covered by a thick veil, and nothing could be seen clearly.

"this way please."

Feng Jizi took him to an office.

"What would you like to drink, young friend?"

"Tea will do."

Liu Zheng said.

"I thought you would like to try our wine."

Feng Jizi said in surprise.

"I don't actually like drinking, I buy it for others."

He shook his head and said.

"Drinking for a long time is harmful to the body, but drinking occasionally is harmless. Haven't you heard that the only way to relieve worries is Du Kang?"

"I have heard another saying, 'Drawing a sword to cut off the water will make it flow faster; drinking a cup to dispel sorrow will make it more sorrowful.'"

Liu Zheng replied.

"You are still so clear-headed in the metropolis. I'm afraid you won't live long."

Feng Jizi sighed.

"I'll live one day at a time. Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with the gravekeeper, so it won't be too late to drink after I die."

He shrugged.

"Haha, this sentence is indeed interesting. In that case, let's have some tea."

Feng Jizi walked to the cabinet and took out two enamel cups.

He took out an iron can from his sleeve, picked out some tea leaves from it and put them into the cup, then picked up the thermos next to him and poured boiling water into it.

"This is bamboo leaf tea that I made myself from bamboos I planted myself. It's not very good, but it has a refreshing fragrance."

Feng Jizi said as he placed the enamel cup in front of Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng picked up the enamel cup and an introduction to the item popped up immediately.

"Name: Fenghou Bamboo Leaf Tea (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: After use, you will gain the 'Wind Protection' status, which lasts for 24 hours."

"Note: Wind is the command, the ruler. Dirt is removed from the earth, and the queen remains. Is there anyone in the world with the surname Feng and the name Hou?"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Wind Protection: Increases movement speed by 15% and reduces wind damage by 30%."

"Is it 'Fenghou' bamboo leaf tea or 'Fenghou bamboo' leaf tea?"

He couldn't help but mutter.

This broken system doesn't even know how to break a sentence.

"Huh? My dear friend, you can actually tell the origin of my tea?"

Feng Jizi said in surprise.

"I have the ability to identify items, but it doesn't always work, so it's not very useful."

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"I see. Fenghou is my ancestor, a descendant of the Fire Ancestor Suiren, a minister of Emperor Huangdi, and one of the Three Dukes. This bamboo was planted by our descendants to commemorate Fenghou, so it is named Fenghou Bamboo."

Feng Jizi introduced.

"I see. So, according to this statement, I am also the descendant of the Fenghou Ancestor?"

He draws inferences from one example.

"You can say that. But I am your only fellow countryman, and I am probably your only fellow countryman, so it doesn't matter whether it is true or not."

Feng Jizi smiled and said.

Things are rare and valuable, and so are feelings.

If there are too many children, the love of their parents will be dispersed; if there are too many fellow villagers, the fellow villagers will become worthless.

But if there is only one fellow villager, as long as both parties are normal people, they are better than family members.

"That's true. Senior, I've done it, you can do whatever you want."

Liu Zheng drank it all in one gulp.

He drank a cup of tea and it sounded like he was drinking a bottle of liquor.

"Uh forget it."

Feng Jizi originally wanted to do something, but chose to give up.

"Maybe this is how people in later generations drink tea?"

He comforted himself like this.

After finishing their tea, the two got down to business.

"The purchase order for the Bloody Restaurant has been prepared. You can choose whatever you want from here. Or if you have any preferences, you can tell me and I will help you select them."

Feng Jizi took out a picture album from his sleeve and placed it in front of Liu Zheng.

"Then could you please help me select the wines from Mengpo Winery?"

He said.

Since I can buy wine at a 10% discount, I will definitely take advantage of it first.

"it is good."

Feng Jizi reached out and opened the album, and the next page was an introduction to various types of wine.

Some are packaged in jars, some are packaged in bottles, and some are packaged in pots. There is a simple text introduction under each picture.

At the front was a large wine cup carved from a skull. The wine in the cup was boiling, bubbles kept coming out and bursting, emitting streams of smoke.

Looking closely, those bubbles were clearly the heads of souls, and each of them was connected to a red-hot iron chain that pierced directly into their brains.

Every time a soul head exploded, the iron chain would retract into the cup, and then a new ghost head would be dragged out.

It was clearly just a glass of wine, but Liu Zheng felt as if he had seen a whole hell.

"Wine name: Eight Hot Hells Yellow Soup"

"Wine: Divine"

"Introduction: Those who drink the water will fall into the eight hot hells (extremely hot hell, hot hell, great wailing hell, wailing hell, gathering hell, black rope hell, resurrection hell), and suffer the torture of ten thousand souls for five hundred days. If they can wake up, they will eliminate all afflictions, gain complete wisdom, receive great offerings from ten thousand souls, and become an arhat."

"Price: 100 million"

"Good guy."

After reading the introduction below the wine, he exclaimed, "Wow!"

Arhat status is the third level of status in Buddhism, equivalent to the celestial being in Taoism.

One bowl of wine can make you instantly immortal, but it only costs 100 million yuan. After a 10% discount, it only costs 10 million yuan. It is really too cheap.

"My friend, are you interested in this wine?"

Feng Jizi asked.

"Since it's all 90% off, it's definitely more cost-effective to buy the most expensive one."

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"Haha, that's true. But the eight hot hells are not easy to go through, especially for the ghosts who are suffering from the torment of the fire hell. Now that they have the opportunity to punish others, they will definitely intensify it. If you can really survive five hundred days, it means that you are not far from achieving the status of Arhat."

Feng Jizi said.

"So, this wine is not worth 100 million?"

"That's not the case. Sometimes the difference between a narrow gap and a chasm can be huge. If you can't pass the stage of enlightenment, you will never be able to break through the gap between immortals and mortals. Moreover, the biggest function of this Yellow Soup of the Eight Hot Hells is actually to open a backdoor."

Feng Jizi shook his head.

"Open the back door?"

"That's right. If you want to achieve Arhat status, you either have to make a great wish, practice the stages of cultivation, or receive initiation from a guru. No matter which one you choose, you will be bound by the Buddhist rules. However, if you achieve it through the Yellow Soup of the Eight Hot Hells, you will not be subject to any Buddhist rules."

Feng Jizi said.

"That does make sense."

he mused.

This thing seems to be most suitable not for those great monks who are just one step away from a breakthrough, but for those frivolous monks who are in Buddhism but their hearts are in the secular world.

From this perspective, this one is worth buying.

Apart from anything else, the next time those bald guys come to trouble the mermaids, maybe they can use this to make a deal with them and solve the problem once and for all.

But he really didn't have ten million on him, so even if it was barely enough, he had to save some money to buy other things.

"If I had known this, I should have borrowed some money from the fisherman before coming here again."

Liu Zheng felt a little regretful.

"Senior, do you have a sewer here?"

He asked, an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Yes, there is, but the sewer under the winery is isolated from other sewers. People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out."

Feng Jizi said.

"It's okay, I have a solution."

Liu Zheng said confidently.

No matter how big the Du Kang Distillery is, it can't be bigger than the sewer. He is the second spokesperson of the sewer, so it is easy for him to break the isolation.

"Even if you have a solution, the winery will not let you go down. But if it is convenient, you can tell me your solution. If you can make up for the loophole, the winery will give you a reward at its discretion."

Feng Jizi suggested.

"Nothing much, I just have a good relationship with the sewers."

Liu Zheng said lightly.

"My friend, you actually have this kind of relationship? But judging from your words and actions, you shouldn't have been in the metropolis for long, right?"

Feng Jizi was surprised again.

"No way, it's all coincidence. I'm not bragging, but I know people all over the city, including the city hall, sewers, cemeteries, restaurants, black markets, and bathhouse streets."

He said these words in a pretentious manner, but there was not much pride on his face.

After all, every connection represents a lot of risks and troubles.

"Yes, yes, we Chinese people should have such a broad mind and the means to communicate."

Feng Jizi praised.

"The style of the seniors is also a model for the younger generation to look up to and emulate."

The fancy sedan was carried by many people, and Liu Zheng also flattered him.

"I look up to the lofty mountains and admire the beautiful scenery" comes from the Book of Songs·Xiaoya·Che Chu. It originally meant that the groom was looking at the distant mountains while walking on the road, happily going to pick up his bride.

But Sima Qian quoted this sentence in "Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of Confucius" to praise Confucius, so the meaning became to describe a person whose moral character is as noble as a mountain and people admire him, and whose words and deeds are as bright as the road and people follow him.

Sima Qian was from the Western Han Dynasty, and Feng Jizi was a metropolitan from the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he should know the latter meaning.

"My friend, you are too kind. Although Confucius was a mortal, his knowledge and character are far superior to mine. How can I compare with him?"

Sure enough, Feng Jizi said modestly but had a big smile on his face.

"I think you are completely comparable to me. You have at least three advantages over Confucius."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

"Oh? How come there are three wins?"

Seeing how serious he was, Feng Jizi became interested.

"The predecessor is a noble descendant of the Emperor of Heaven (Suiren is the first of the Three Emperors, so he is called the Emperor of Heaven), and Confucius is the descendant of the predecessor. This is a victory for the predecessor."

Liu Zheng raised a tentacle.

"Ah."

Feng Jizi nodded slightly.

"Senior, you are still able to retain some of your memories after coming to the metropolis, which shows how profound your cultivation is. Confucius is just an ordinary person, so this is your second victory."

He raised another tentacle.

"Uh-huh."

Feng Jizi nodded a little more vigorously.

"The predecessors had two victories, but Confucius did not even have one. This is the predecessor's three victories."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he could no longer hold back and chuckled.

"Hahaha, you are really lazy."

Feng Jizi was also infected by his laughter and couldn't help laughing.

"Alas, it's been a rare time to laugh like this since I came to the metropolis."

After laughing, Feng Jizi sighed.

"Then why did you come to the metropolis?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This part of my memory has been completely erased. But I guess it's just a combination of soft and hard tactics. Well, since we are here, we should make the best of it. The metropolis is the intersection of all realms, and practicing here will bring many benefits."

Feng Jizi shook his head, obviously unwilling to talk more about this matter.

"By the way, I haven't asked you why you suddenly want to go to the sewer?"

He changed the subject.

"Oh, I want to buy the Yellow Soup of Eight Hot Hells, but I don't have enough money with me, so I want to go to the sewer to borrow money from someone."

Liu Zheng told the truth.

"I see. How much do you still need? If it's not too much, I can help you out first."

Feng Jizi said generously.

"There's still 10 million left."

".My friend, are you trying to get something for nothing?"

Feng Jizi was speechless.

If it weren't for the fact that they were fellow villagers, he would have pulled Liu Zheng out with his sleeve.

"Actually, I have several million on me, but I have to save some to buy other wines. And I also prepared this Eight-heat Hell Yellow Soup for someone else, maybe I can get reimbursed for it."

Liu Zheng explained.

"In that case, if you can provide collateral, I can lend you 10 million."

Feng Jizi said after pondering for a moment.

"Thank you so much, Senior. Are those I just gave you enough?"

The perfect items that were seized earlier have not been returned to him yet.

"That's about enough. Are you sure you want to buy this?"

Feng Jizi confirmed.

"determine."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Okay. The original price of the Eight-heat Hell Yellow Soup is 100 million, but after the discount, it's 10 million. Thank you for your patronage."

Feng Jizi took out a bank card and swiped it on the album.

"drop!"

A white light flashed, and the Yellow Soup of the Eight Hot Hells in the picture album appeared in front of the two.

Liu Zheng picked up the wine cup and an introduction to the item popped up immediately.

"Name: Eight Hot Hells Yellow Soup (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

"Quality: Epic"

"Effect: Pass through the eight hot hells, suffer the torture of thousands of ghosts, break the restraints of the precepts, and attain the status of Arhat."

"Note: I have never cultivated good deeds in my life, and I only love to kill and set fires. Suddenly, the golden rope was loosened, and the jade lock was broken. Hey! I achieved the right result in the Eight Hot Hells, and today I know that I am myself."

“Can I take the copy out: No”

"Epic item!"

Liu Zheng took a breath of cold air.

This is the highest-quality item he has ever obtained since entering the metropolis, bar none, and is truly a divine item.

Unfortunately, he thought to himself that he would definitely not be able to pass the test of the Eight Hot Hells, but now he just swallowed it in one gulp and became an Arhat immediately.

But even if Liu Zheng himself cannot use it, an item of epic quality can still be used to leverage a lot of resources.

"Senior, how can I return your money?"

Liu Zheng asked after he calmed down.

"When the time comes, just knock on the door again and I will come out to meet you."

Feng Jizi said.

"it is good."

He nodded and continued looking at the other drinks.

Soon, he found another suitable one.

"Wine name: Sanshenghuangtang"

“Wine: Excellent”

"Introduction: The drinker will be drunk for 49 days, and will recall the experiences of this life, the previous life, and the previous previous life in his dreams. After waking up from the dream, the trauma suffered by the soul will be restored. It is only for spirits to drink. The effect of drinking it for the living is greatly reduced and there is a risk of the soul leaving the body."

"Sale price: one million"

"My goodness, the price difference between this divine product and the best product is too big, isn't it?"

Liu Zheng was shocked.
