Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 59 The Best Travel Companion, Wine Immortal Eight Drinks

"Six thousand miles? What do you mean by six thousand miles?"

Zhou Ming became interested and asked.

Lu Xiaofeng casually pointed three dots on the table and said, "Let's start from the capital and head directly northwest, with Taiyuan as our destination. Then, from Taiyuan, head southwest to Wudang! Finally, from Wudang, we'll return to the capital!"

As he spoke, his fingers moved back and forth between the three points, drawing a triangle.

"This way, we can first see the scenery of the north, celebrate the birthday, and then see the beautiful scenery of the south! Wouldn't the route we take and the scenery we visit be even better than your previous plan?

Most importantly, this way, the route never repeats itself. Everything ahead of us is new, so it stays fresh! Isn't that better than your previous plan?

"It makes sense!"

Zhou Mingdao said, "Lu Xiaofeng, you truly deserve to be called the world's most famous playboy. You've truly mastered the art of play!"

"Just speak nicely. Who are you being sarcastic to?"

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and asked, "Do you think I don't understand what you mean?"

Zhou Ming said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll head north first. I'll leave on March 1st, and maybe I can meet you in Taiyuan!"

"I go!"

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless. So everything he said just now was in vain, right?
He cheered up and said, "Old Lu, you're still narrow-minded! When you go out to travel, do you know where the best scenery is, where the best food is, and where the best wine is? Besides that, every other aspect also requires a lot of thought.

But wouldn’t it be much more convenient if you could find a local to introduce you?

And what is my most famous characteristic, Lu Xiaofeng? Friends all over the world!
So, I am your essential travel companion!

"hiss!"

Zhou Ming took a deep breath. "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! Lu Xiaofeng, I never thought you could be so useful before. It seems your life hasn't been lived in vain!"

"Hey, hey, hey, if you keep talking like that I'm going to beat you up. What do you mean I haven't lived my whole life in vain?"

"Oh, that's a waste of life!"

"I!"

Lu Xiaofeng clenched his fists.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Zhou has agreed. So when do we set off?"

"Tomorrow."

Zhou Mingdao: "After all, it takes some time to prepare."

There's actually nothing to prepare for.

During this period, Zhou Ming opened his third eye and practiced every day.

After opening the third eye for the first time and receiving the baptism of the power of heaven and earth, there will not be such a big movement afterwards. Only the power of heaven and earth around will be drawn over.

The improvement in his soul power was far less intense than the first time.

Having said that, after practicing every day, Zhou Ming's soul power would also increase.

The growth of soul power results in an increase in the space available for carrying.

Nowadays, the diameter of his personal space has expanded to seven hundred meters.

And now his third eye is almost fully open.

After reaching full opening, one still needs to practice diligently so that the Heavenly Eye can be opened and closed at will, even if one reaches the third level of the Heavenly Eye realm and remains there permanently.

The next step is the third realm of Dharma cultivation.

Observe the realm of heaven and earth!

Traveling across 80,000 miles of mountains and rivers, observing the landscape, feeling the four seasons, and taking the heaven and earth as your teachers is what it means to "study abroad."

Learning from all over the world, one can understand the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of individuals, and thus develop a "resonance" between heaven and man.

By following the will of heaven and enhancing this sensitivity, one can predict the weather and perceive the climate.

In ancient times, those who reached this state could help the tribe determine the time for planting and harvesting, avoid disasters and calamities, and take charge of the tribal priestly duties. This was known as "Wuji".

Therefore, Zhou Ming had to set out so early not only to celebrate the birthday, but also to practice to the next level.

It was also for this reason that he agreed to Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou's deal so easily.

To see the world, one must travel to more places and see more mountains and rivers.

night.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou temporarily live in Pei Mansion.

Dinner was prepared by Chunhua and the other three. As soon as it was served, the aroma immediately stimulated Lu Xiaofeng's saliva. He completely ignored his manners and started eating.

"Yes! That's the smell!"

I spent so much time talking to Zhou Ming just for this delicacy that I couldn’t find even if I searched everywhere!
When Lu Xiaofeng thought that he would have to eat this for more than a month, his eyes became slightly moist.

Exciting!

Hua Manlou nodded repeatedly, "The four girls' craftsmanship is truly exquisite. However..."

He was a little confused. Although it was delicious, it shouldn't make Lu Xiaofeng so excited.

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Old Hua, Lu Xiaofeng has a nickname, Lu Sandan...idiot, bastard, pauper! Do you understand?"

Hua Manlou's mind raced, and he smiled: "I understand."

The reason why this meal is so delicious, besides the cooking skills, is another major factor... MSG!
The effect of MSG on food is truly subversive.

But this thing is extremely precious. There is a saying: A spoonful of MSG is worth an ounce of gold!
Such a precious seasoning cannot be eaten at every meal even by the rich and powerful.

As for restaurants outside, I'm afraid only the top ones will add this thing to their most expensive dishes.

Zhou Ming was different. This thing was proposed by him when he was a child, and it was researched by people sent by Pei Ju, so he never lacked it.

Hua Manlou is a very wealthy man.

Only Lu Xiaofeng, a pauper, had no money to eat this thing.

So he searched all over the capital, but couldn't find anything delicious with the same taste.

Simply because he has no money.

Only when it comes to Zhou Ming, the four maids' superb skills, combined with MSG, can it be so delicious.

"What are you talking about?" Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously.

"Nothing." Zhou Ming said, "I was saying that I had another purpose for going out this time, which was to finish my book."

As he spoke, he took out a book with four words written on the cover.

Eight Drinks of the Wine Immortal!

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "Is this the book you mentioned last time? The origin of the name Gin?"

"Not bad!"

Zhou Mingdao said: “The deliciousness of wine lies not only in the wine itself, but also in the right time, place, and the company with whom you drink.

In spring, when you enjoy the willows and go for an outing, you should drink light wine. In winter, when the wind is biting, you should drink strong liquor.

What kind of wine is most appropriate to drink when you are on the top of a mountain, at the end of the world, at the seashore, in the valley of stars, beside the sea of ​​clouds, with a beautiful woman by your side, during the Mid-Autumn Festival... and so on!

This is what is described in my book, 'Eight Drinks of the Wine Immortal'!"

"Since ancient times, all saints and wise men have been lonely, only drinkers have left their names!"

Hua Manlou said, "I didn't expect Brother Zhou to have such a leisurely and leisurely mind. I admire you!"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Old Hua, you're being premature. For now, everything in this book is just my imagination. Therefore, on my upcoming journey, I'm planning to experience it firsthand and write a true 'Eight Drinks of the Wine Immortal'!"

At the same time, it is also a preparation for the emergence of various people who use wine names as code names in the future.
