Chapter 108 Black Snake Dew
The seal of the heart has been broken.
Wanwan felt that all the discomfort she had felt over the past month had vanished.
"Old monk, you are one who keeps your promises."
"Amitabha Buddha, may the Buddhist chants this month inspire more good thoughts in you."
But if you attack my Yunhe Temple again, this humble monk will not be so lenient next time.
Master Jianchi spoke in a very calm tone, but after spending a month together, Wanwan had a very clear understanding of his character.
Although the person in front of me also talks a lot about being compassionate, when it comes to being a fierce and wrathful deity, he is ruthless.
The first time was to give Yin Gui face, but it's hard to say what will happen if it happens again.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
Although Wanwan's words were not an admission of weakness, they did show her goodwill.
"That's good."
Master Jianchi did not doubt it.
He only decided on a one-month punishment because he saw that Wanwan wasn't inherently bad; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so simple.
"You'd better watch yourself."
After saying this, Master Jianchi turned and left, leaving the space to Gu Qianbei and Wanwan.
"Leaving first thing tomorrow morning?"
Gu Qianbei asked softly, he was genuinely reluctant to part with her.
"No, I'm leaving now. I'm an impatient person, I can't wait even a little while."
Wanwan put her little hands behind her back and hopped around like an elf.
She glanced back at Gu Qianbei with a bright smile on her face, then lightly touched the bluestone ground with her toes and gracefully took off.
A pink silk dress, billowing in the night breeze and swirling with slivers of moonlight, landed silently and steadily on the rooftop.
"Gu Qianbei! Before you leave, I'll give you a dance. Don't forget me!"
Wanwan's eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, her eyes curved into crescents, and her gaze was fixed on Gu Qianbei standing below.
Before Gu Qianbei could utter a single word, she had already begun to dance slowly.
The Heavenly Demon Dance is both a martial art and a dance. However, people in the martial arts world often see the Heavenly Demon Dance used to kill people, but rarely see a demoness performing it.
At this moment, the usually alluring and cunning woman completely shed her disguise, fluttering freely in the night wind, entwined with the bright moonlight.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether it was her clothes that were stained with moonlight or the moonlight that enveloped her figure.
She moved gracefully across the rooftop with delicate and agile dance steps.
Her long, dark hair flowed down her waist, the ends brushing past her shoulders, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.
Barefoot, she lightly touched the ground, her silk skirt fluttering in the wind.
The girl's dance was not deliberately crafted at all; it was entirely a joyful and spontaneous movement, charming and bright, yet with a unique flamboyance and unrestrained spirit, much like a sprite breaking free from its constraints and frolicking under the moon.
Gu Qianbei watched the figure dancing under the moonlight, and his heart inexplicably trembled.
Looking at Wanwan's unreserved and vibrant appearance, and at the pure joy and mischievousness in her eyes, a series of ripples of emotion stirred within him.
As the dance ended, Wanwan looked at Gu Qianbei, who was still standing there, and her smile deepened.
"Idiot! Goodbye!"
Wanwan turned to leave when suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.
A gourd flew out of Gu Qianbei's hand and headed towards Wanwan.
Wanwan reached out and took it, looking at Gu Qianbei with a puzzled expression.
"This contains Bihe Dew, which you have drunk before. It can clear away distracting thoughts and ward off inner demons."
Your Heavenly Demon Skill contains a certain amount of evil. If you encounter difficulties while practicing it, you can take a sip.
"Is this a farewell gift?"
"nature."
"Then I'd also like a gourd of wine to gaze at the bright moon; this wine is delicious."
Wanwan pointed to the wine jars on the pavilion, her face beaming with smiles.
Gu Qianbei shook his head helplessly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"You're really pushing your luck. Fine, here's a gourd for you."
"That's more like it."
Wanwan smiled with satisfaction.
Gu Qianbei filled the cup with Wang Mingyue and handed it to Wanwan.
Wanwan didn't take it immediately, but instead rushed into his arms.
At that moment, Gu Qianbei's body stiffened slightly, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of a young girl.
Goodbye, Gu Qianbei.
The girl's words still echoed in my ears, but the girl had already vanished.
She left Yunhe Temple under the cover of night, carrying two gourds of wine.
Gu Qianbei watched the girl disappear into the moonlight and suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"See you again."
Gu Qianbei murmured to himself and looked up at the full moon.
Just as the moon has its full phases, so too do people.
The next day, Gu Qianbei also left Yunhe Temple.
He made a promise with Master Jianchi that he would return when the Golden Flower bloomed.
On that very morning, a new recipe for spirit wine reappeared.
"Mysterious Serpent Dew is made by using the gallbladder of the Bodhi Serpent as the main ingredient, combined with nine kinds of medicinal herbs, and brewing it through three distillations and three brewings over seven days. It has the effect of strengthening the body and enhancing strength and internal energy."
Seeing the words appear on the wine menu, Gu Qianbei murmured, "Bodhi Serpent? Isn't that a creature that only exists outside Xiangyang City? Looks like I'll have to make a trip outside Xiangyang City. Maybe I can even encounter the Divine Eagle and take a look at the Sword Tomb."
Gu Qianbei had originally planned to leave the capital and go to Junshan to see what was going on.
In that case, it's conveniently on the way. (This is a fictional setting, not a real-world place.)
"The Number One Manor in the World also has a Concentration Wine that is about to be brewed. I'll put it in my storage space and take it with me. It will be ready to open in a few days."
With that thought in mind, Gu Qianbei returned to the number one manor in the world.
In just a few days, Wang Shijiu had already made Qianchousi's Beijing branch a resounding success.
The most popular manor in the world is inhabited by people from the martial arts world, and among them, very few don't enjoy drinking.
Therefore, Qianchousi's business was booming, and they were running out of wine.
After hearing Wang Shijiu's account, Gu Qianbei spent a day brewing an extra batch of fine wine.
Dragon Tiger Wine and Thousand Days Intoxication are naturally indispensable.
Meanwhile, the sorghum liquor, green tea liquor, and bamboo dew liquor previously brewed in Qixia Town have also made their way onto the stage of the Beijing branch.
The wine can be made in just one month, which is extremely fast and enough for the branches in the capital to sell.
After doing all this, Gu Qianbei found Haitang and told her that he was leaving.
"Brother Gu, you've just become the world's number one winemaker and you're leaving already? Is there anything I haven't done to entertain you properly?"
Haitang said reluctantly.
"Of course not. But I want to brew a new kind of wine, which requires the strange beast, the Bosqu Snake. As far as I know, this snake can only be found outside Xiangyang City, so I plan to try my luck there."
"By the way, please have the estate owner prepare these medicinal herbs for me as soon as possible; I'll need them for my next round of brewing."
Gu Qianbei handed Haitang a list of medicinal herbs needed to brew the Xuan Snake Dew.
"I see. Xiangyang City is located at the junction of the Great Liang, the Great Song, and the Great Ming. It is fraught with danger and extremely chaotic. You need to be very careful."
If you need anything, just find the nearest Wan's shop. With the World's Number One Token, they will provide everything you need.
"I understand. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days, Master. I will come back to visit you again after this matter is settled."
Gu Qianbei laughed.
"That would be perfect."
Haitang smiled faintly, then, as if remembering something, continued, "By the way. I just received news that Cao Shaoqin, the deputy supervisor of the Eastern Depot, was injured by a mysterious woman last night."
He was stabbed in the front and was seriously injured. He even had to ask the imperial physician to treat him that morning.
It seems someone has avenged you for that fatal blow.
Gu Qianbei was taken aback upon hearing this, and the image of that graceful figure dancing under the moon immediately appeared in his mind, causing him to smile.
This vixen is really cute.
