Chapter 621 Public Request
"I am in the town of Weihou Mansion Cao Kun. I don't know what to call this Taoist friend, but he is very familiar." Cao Kun said with a smile.
"Lu Xiaotian, Fellow Daoist Cao is a person who knows wine. I just took out the green bamboo wine, and Fellow Daoist Cao couldn't hold it anymore." Lu Xiaotian made a gesture of invitation.
“Haha, if you say that you know wine, Cao is not considered a master of wine. However, he has done a lot of research on Qingzhu Brewing. In this life, apart from cultivation, most of Cao’s remaining thoughts have been put aside. On top of this thing." Cao Kun saw that Lu Xiaotian did not refuse him to take a seat. Not to mention, he also praised him as a person who knows wine, and suddenly he was a little excited. Judging from Lu Xiaotian's driving style, he probably wouldn't refuse him to taste this fine wine together. Fortunately, he had just taken the first step, otherwise if others had taken the lead, Wouldn't he have to pass by such fine wine?
"Oh? In that case, Fellow Daoist Cao might as well tell you what the secrets of my green bamboo wine are. If it comes to the topic, there is no harm in sharing this wine with Fellow Daoist Cao." Lu Xiaotian said.
"Okay, then it's settled." Cao Kun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he folded his palms, looking a bit geared up, and sniffed slightly. "The taste is sweet and mellow, but not as heavy as the old green bamboo wine. It must have been brewed recently. It is a pity that it has not been aged for a few years."
"The aroma of this wine is so fresh and striking. , no sense of old-fashionedness It should be taken from the heart of the young bamboo buds of Tianhe bamboo, and no old leaves are used to mix it. Fellow Taoist Cao can be regarded as an extraordinary person for putting so much effort into brewing this pot of wine. Right?" Cao Kun said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right, I'll give you a cup." Lu Xiaotian poured Cao Kun a glass of wine readily. The cup in his hand was not an ordinary porcelain cup or jade, but a piece of wine. Small cup made of bamboo tube.
"The wine glass is made from Tianhe bamboo that is at least 800 years old. Fellow Taoist, this is really a big deal." Cao Kun was shocked when he saw the wine glass that Lu Xiaotian took out. The hand that took the wine glass trembled slightly.
Tianhe Bamboo is extremely rare. Even in the Black Sky Mountains, it is occasionally encountered. However, monsters are rampant in the Tianhei Mountains. Tianhe Bamboo of this age is rare. Once it appears occasionally, it is also used by other people. The monk took it away. Even as the chief steward of Zhenweihou Mansion, this was the first time he had seen this thing. Tianhe bamboo is an excellent material for refining weapons. It is a bit too extravagant to use it to make wine glasses. This is not what a foundation-building monk should do. When Cao Kun held the wine glass, the twists and turns in his mind had already gone through several circles.
"I got a small piece occasionally. It's too little for refining weapons. It's not suitable for anything else. I happened to make some wine. It's good to use it as a vessel for holding wine." Lu Xiaotian smiled and said, how could he tell the truth? , this vessel for holding wine was naturally made by sawing off a small section of the Tianhe bamboo within the barrier.
"I see, Fellow Daoist Lu is a thoughtful person. This green bamboo brew is perfect for holding wine. If it is replaced with ordinary utensils, it will lose a bit of flavor. In this way, Cao can You're welcome." Cao Kun had a drink. After taking a sip, he looked intoxicated and showed a bit of surprise on his face, "This, this is!"
"Why, fellow Taoist Cao can only see this?" Lu Xiaotian held up the wine bottle in his hand He looked at Cao Kun leisurely, with a look on his face that meant he was going to school. "Even the green bamboo wine brewed from Tianhe bamboo should never be as good as this wine. Lu Daoyou, this wine is a new brew, but the mellow taste is no different from those nearly a hundred years old wine. ." Cao Kun looked puzzled.
“This is the special thing about the brewing of this wine. Fellow Taoist Cao also noticed that my Qingzhu Brewing is a newly brewed wine. If it is aged for some more years, the flavor will be better. It's even more unique. When I brewed this wine, I deliberately added some additional materials. Both the materials and the brewing method are unparalleled by the ordinary Qingzhu Brewing." Lu Xiaotian stopped and didn't say anything. Find out the secret.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lu is indeed very accomplished in the art of wine. Although Cao, the Dao Dao here, thinks that few others know about Qingzhu Brewing, when I met Fellow Daoist Lu today, I realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. It seems that this second glass of wine , Cao can’t drink anymore,” Cao Kun said with a pity on his face.
“Actually, it’s not difficult to drink this wine. Not to mention the second cup, it’s not a bad idea to give this jug of wine or the secret method of brewing green bamboo wine to fellow Taoist Cao.” Lu Xiaotian put the wine jug Put it on the table and say.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Cao Kun said with some interest on his face.
“I have heard for a long time that the fire aura of Zhenweihou Mansion is extremely rich and very conducive to the cultivation of fire monks. I have admired you for a long time and want to get a job in Zhenweihou Mansion. As long as I can help you practice. That’s it, I will never be vague about what I should do. Fellow Daoist Cao is deeply trusted by Marquis Zhenwei, so it should be a simple matter to arrange for someone to enter the mansion." Lu Xiaotian said simply and clearly.
"Is this just your intention to enter Zhenweihou Mansion?" Cao Kun's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Lu Xiaotian warily.
"Otherwise, what else can there be? If the master of the Zhenwei Hou Mansion is gone, I can be regarded as a late-stage Jindan cultivator. If I enter alone, I will have no way out. What's more, my cultivation level is mediocre." Lu Xiaotian said in a frank tone, "What's the real plan? , and also looking for other opportunities to enter the Zhenweihou Mansion, and need to be so open and honest Do you want to explain it to Butler Cao? "
"That's true, but in recent years, the Hou Mansion has attracted many enemies, but Cao has to guard against it." Cao Kun had some thoughts when he heard Lu Xiaotian's words. It makes sense. If Lu Xiaozhen had any motive and found his connections to enter the Hou Mansion, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap? He just needs to arrange for someone else to pay attention to Lu Xiaotian secretly. However, when it came to Zhenweihou Mansion, Cao Kun was extremely cautious and did not let go easily.
“No matter what I say, my only intention is to enter the Zhenwei Hou Mansion to practice, and use the unique fire spiritual power of the Hou Mansion to practice a unique secret method. As for everything else about the Hou Mansion, I'm not interested. Fellow Taoist Cao doesn't need to place me in an important position in the house. The position, even if it is an ordinary handyman, or taking care of some important spiritual objects in the backyard, it doesn't matter as long as there are not too many mundane things that affect my practice. As for the important areas of the Hou Mansion, I can do it. How about not taking a step forward?" Lu Xiaotian said directly. At first, he also thought about using the identity of a handyman to sneak into the Zhenweihou Mansion, but when he thought about it, he also felt that it was a bit inappropriate. After all, there were many masters in the Zhenweihou Mansion, and the handymen basically had their own affairs at hand. As a newcomer, if he is not in his position, it may not take long for his flaws to be revealed. And he may not have much chance of getting close to the abandoned dry well in the backyard of Zhenweihou Mansion.
