Chapter 269 Red Dust Wine
Gu Yuanqing was silent for a moment, sat down calmly, and said lightly: "Pluto invites you, how dare you not."
Pluto did not say anything, and two three-legged bronze cups appeared. On the desk, a bottle of wine appeared in his hand.
Pour slowly, the faint aroma of wine spreads, and the color of the wine is like amber.
Pluto put down his wine bottle and extended his hand to greet him.
Gu Yuanqing picked up the wine glass with both hands.
"This wine is a thank you for Pluto's help last time."
"I am not helping you, you just ask for the opportunity." Pluto's tone was indifferent, his voice was old and rough.
Gu Yuanqing smiled: "Do it first out of respect."
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
I just felt that the wine was very bitter, like coptis in my throat.
Pluto smiled calmly: "Aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"
Gu Yuanqing said in a calm tone: "If Pluto wants to kill me, there is no need to go to such trouble."
"That's not necessarily the case."
As he finished speaking, the smell of alcohol spread around his body like thousands of sharp knives. Even his soul seemed to be stimulated by it, making it unbearably painful.
Gu Yuanqing's face was slightly pale and his body was trembling slightly.
"Do you regret it?" Pluto said with a smile.
Gu Yuanqing said slowly: "What is the name of this wine?"
Pluto said quietly: "The world of mortals."
"The world of mortals is bitter and sharp as a knife?"< br>
"A glass of worldly wine is full of passers-by. It is said that in ancient times, before reincarnation, ghosts would drink a glass of wine, stand on the gazebo, recall the past, and let go of the last trace of obsession. Unfortunately, it is no longer the same. . ”
Pluto picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then filled the glass again.
"Do you dare to drink again?"
Gu Yuanqing's hands trembled slightly and he said calmly: "Why don't you dare?"
After drinking cups of Hongchen wine, Gu Yuanqing felt all over his body , the soul is surrounded by the punishment of being cut into pieces with thousands of swords.
However, he did not panic. Although these knives were sharp, they did not hurt his roots. Despite the pain, his whole body felt indescribably relaxed, as if an invisible burden had been lifted from his body.
"May I ask Mr. Pluto...why are you here?" Gu Yuanqing considered his words. A Pluto broke through the world and came. He couldn't really ask for a drink with him?
Pluto's entire figure was shrouded in black mist, and he asked: "Do you have an ancient mirror from the underworld in your hand?"
Gu Yuanqing did not hide anything, and replied: "There is indeed such a thing. "One thing."
"Are you willing to give up?"
"If Hades needs it, I will naturally give it to you." Gu Yuanqing did not hesitate, and Feng Qingyun smiled calmly. This mirror has been in his hands for a long time, but he has been tempering his true soul for many years, and he still doesn't know how to use it. , there is not much difference from waste in his hands.
As soon as the words finished, the mysterious light mirror appeared in his hand and was handed over.
Pluto took it and laughed: "You voluntarily offer this mirror to me as a sacrifice. You must not refuse to reward me. I will leave this pot of red dust wine to you."
The words fell. , Gu Yuanqing suddenly felt drunk, and the scenery in front of him became blurry.
It seemed like he said something again vaguely.
At the end, I heard an old voice faintly resounding in my mind: "The way of others is, after all, external things. Forget your true heart, do you want to live like another person?"
The next second, Gu Yuanqing I feel like my consciousness is sinking, as if I have suddenly returned to the time when I was born in my previous life.
First he was like a bystander, and finally he gradually merged into it. From the past life to this life, he walked the road of the world again.
I don’t know how long it had passed before he opened his eyes.
My eyes gradually became clear from the confusion. Looking back on the past, I was sweating profusely and felt lingering fear.
Looking back on most of this time, he was deeply wary of Dao Soul in Wuliang River.
I don’t know when, while pursuing the growth of Taoism, I lost myself and changed my character without knowing it. In the end, when someone pointed him out, he still remained indifferent and indifferent. Even the family affection around him never made him change his mind.
He couldn't help but think of the Demonic Sword. How different was this compared to that?
Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The road to the great road is difficult and dangerous every step of the way. This danger does not come from the enemy, but also from oneself. If you cannot keep your heart, everything will be in vain. If you live as another person, you will be dead. What’s the difference?”
Gu Yuanqing naturally does not think that his ideas will remain unchanged.
Perhaps one day his thoughts will be completely different from today, but this change can come from the experience of life, and it is definitely not the forced washing of memories by such external objects.
"This is the so-called knowing that I am who I am today."
Thoughts during this period came to mind one by one, and I couldn't help but sigh.
In his opinion, this short period of experience was far more terrifying than the powerful enemies he had encountered before.
However, it is not without gain.
The progress of this cultivation far exceeded the original estimate.
Suddenly, his eyes touched the ground beside him.
That's a hip flask.
“Red Dust Wine!”
Gu Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly. He just looked back on the past decades, and the ending was that he came to this hall to practice, and did not touch on the visit of Hades.
When I saw this wine, I immediately recalled it.
It’s just that the memory seems a bit blurry. I can’t remember exactly what I said or what Pluto looks like. It’s like I’m in a dream.
His mind reached into the storage bag and found that the ancient mirror was gone.
He was stunned for a moment, then stood up, cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
This is said to be an exchange, but in reality it is a favor given to oneself. How can a foreign object compare with the help of returning to one's true nature?
No matter what is hidden here, for Gu Yuanqing, this matter is tantamount to saving his life.
He stretched out his hand to fetch the wine pot, and immediately realized that the wine pot was also a magic weapon, with its own universe and a lot of wine in it.
Gu Yuanqing was thoughtful and his eyes lit up.
“The impact of years in the Taoist soul will wear away the seven emotions and six desires, but the red dust wine can look back on the past and use it to resolve the hidden dangers. He left this wine for the same purpose.”
"The kindness in this is huge!"
Gu Yuanqing was silent for a moment and put it back in his storage bag.
Then slowly walked out of the hall.
Looking at the surrounding scene again, Gu Yuanqing felt like he was in another world.
Different moods have different charms.
Comparing the two, it seems that I have some enlightenment.
The Tao movement in the body is flowing, and the Tao Yun in the body is also slowly changing.
Before, his aura was as ruthless as the great road, moving the sun and the moon, and everything seemed to be running according to the strictest rules, impartially.
At this time, he seemed to be detached from the world, but also in it, like a fairy in the world of mortals.
While strolling down, some birds flew over, lingered for a while as if in fear, and then landed on him happily.
A mountain animal watched from a distance, looked tentatively for a while, and then ran over happily.
It was evening at this time. As soon as he arrived in front of the courtyard, he saw Li Chengyi coming with a jar of wine.
He smiled and said: "Father, my father and son have not had a drink for a long time, why don't we just get drunk tonight?"
Although Gu Yuanqing felt that he had just sobered up, facing his son , but smiled: "Very good!"
Li Chengyi was stunned and overjoyed: "Father, you...you...are fine."
Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said: "It makes you worry!"
