Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Taste of Jianghu

The young master of the Tang Sect took the lead to get the magic medicine from the Furong Courtyard. As the backbone of the anti-demon forces, the Tang Sect turned against each other in a day.Whether it is a decent person who hates demons, wavering skeptics, quasi-devils who are determined to become demons, or demons who have already become demons, they all pay great attention to this shocking event.The eldest son of the Tang Sect has always been the popular idol of the Jianghu teenagers, and a model of the Tang Dynasty's maverick.His clothes, his words and deeds, are imitated by young heroes who yearn for the scenery of the world.This time, I heard that this leader of the Jianghu actually chose to become a demon, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the heroes in the entire Jianghu.

As the place where Tang Dou drank the magical medicine and announced his enchantment, the Town Hall of Evil gathered thousands of heroes from all sects and sects in the north and south of the river within a few days. The missing masters of the Nian Gang, Fengge, Guantang, and Jingangmen also showed their whereabouts at the venue.Under the call of the ghost building, the masters who have already been enchanted flocked here.The Town of Evil Hall, where the masters of the Tang Sect and the devils of the Yue family fought bloody battles in the past, has become a place for the devils to show off their power.All of a sudden, the whole Yangzhou was filled with demon flames, demons danced wildly, and there was a miasma of smoke.

On the day when Tang Dou drank the magic medicine, the Xuanhong Pavilion of Zhen'e Hall was completely renovated by the disciples of Ghost Tower.The courtyard was cordoned off by the ghost building and disciples of the Tang Sect, with three floors inside and three floors outside.Outside the line gathered a huge crowd of children from the rivers and lakes, and countless young heroes rushed to stand on tiptoe and look into the Xuanhong Pavilion.Liu Qingyuan came to the Xuanhong Pavilion early with a boy in white with a magic medicine in his hand, quietly waiting for the arrival of the young master of the Tang Sect.Seeing his appearance, countless demons outside the courtyard cheered loudly.As the first devil in the Jianghu to defeat Feng Luoyang, this ex-Chaohai son who was obsessed with magic made great contributions to improving the status of the devil in the world.Now when the children of Jianghu see the devil, they no longer dare to gnash their teeth and curse, let alone regard it as heresy.Because of the appearance of Liu Qingyuan, the devil has become the mainstream of the world, and Liu Qingyuan has also become a banner for the devil to fight against mortals.

It wasn't until the auspicious time to drink the medicine that Tang Dou, who was the focus of the whole world's attention, was long overdue.What he was wearing today was the white clothes and robes that he had never bothered to wear, and the snow-white scholar's cap on his head, and his face that was originally blue and white became pale. Seeing him coming in white, Liu Qingyuan frowned slightly, and brought the boy in white beside him to Tang Dou's side slowly, and said loudly: "Young Master, you are really punctual, but you didn't come until the auspicious time came, Friends from the rivers and lakes here have been waiting eagerly."

"Oh," Tang Dou glanced at him, sighed, raised his hands high, and bowed to the surroundings, "Sorry for keeping everyone waiting." "Hey, young master, do you really want to become a demon by drinking medicine and become a running dog of the ghost building?" A rough voice suddenly came from the crowd.Tang Dou turned his head to look, only to find that it was Peng Yanyong, a boy from the Pengmen of Qingzhou who spoke. "Yes, I just want to become a demon, little brother, becoming a demon is the mainstream now, and I, Tang Dou, can't be exempt." Tang Dou said listlessly.

"Young Master, if you give up on yourself for the sake of a woman and go astray, how can you be worthy of the brothers of the Tang Sect, and the thousands of young heroes in the world who follow your example?" A sharp and clear voice came from the crowd. came. "Xiao Xiyan!" Tang Dou could tell who this person was when he heard it, and he was furious, "Have you ever had a girl whom you have loved for thirteen years, have you ever had a brother who has been with you for thirteen years, wait until you have Then come and discuss with me about giving up on yourself, and go away."

"Young Master, the decent forces in the arena are declining day by day. We all hope that you can be our mainstay. Don't be confused by a temporary emotional injury." Zheng Huaiyuan's earnest voice sounded in the crowd. "The upright people in Jianghu do my shit. In their eyes, my Tang Sect is nothing more than a crooked sect. I don't have much welfare, and all the dirty work is done to me. I don't want to play with them anymore." Tang Dou said angrily. "Young master, don't listen to them. You drank the magic medicine early, and the brothers have long been expecting you to take the lead." Tie Feren's loud and deafening voice sounded suddenly.

"That's right, young master, if you can make up your mind, our brothers also have a bit of a backbone!" A large group of masters who had defected from Longmen, Nian Gang, Fengge and Organ Hall shouted one after another. "Brothers, take care. Today, young and old, I drank the magic medicine as soon as I raised my neck." Seeing so many people supporting him, Tang Dou finally had a smile on his face, and waved at these guys , said proudly. "Young Master," Liu Qingyuan had no choice but to interject when Tang Dou chatted with these onlookers and became more and more addicted, "Since you have kept your promise and let go of the Town Evil Hall, you have also invited people from the Tangmen Torture Hall Come to testify, I should deliver the magic medicine at the auspicious time according to the agreement, I wonder if you are ready?"

"Young master, wait for a moment and allow me, Tang Dou, to bid farewell to my former identity." Tang Dou put his hands into his sleeves and said earnestly. "Oh," Liu Qingyuan nodded in astonishment, "In that case, please hurry up." "Thank you." Tang Dou clasped his fists at him, then turned around and clapped his hands vigorously.As his applause sounded, several Tangmen disciples immediately separated from the crowd, walked quickly to his side, placed a small table on the ground, and placed four wine jars of different colors and shapes around the small table, and then Put cups, plates, and dishes on the small table, and four kinds of side dishes, and then quickly retreat towards the surroundings.

Tang Dou twisted his neck lazily, sat cross-legged in front of the small table in a leisurely manner, slapped open a jug of fine wine, and poured it into the glass on the table.Seeing his unhurried appearance, Liu Qingyuan couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Young Master, what do you mean by this?" "Young master, the flaws of becoming a demon have already been clearly explained by the people in the Chengfeng Society. First, there is a chance to lose your sanity and be at the mercy of others. Second, you will generate a Gu clone, destroying both body and spirit. I don't care about these two. But this last one is the most fatal." Tang Dou said with a bitter face.

"What's the last one?" Liu Qingyuan frowned. "The last one is: After practicing the Heavenly Demon Dafa, there is no difference between hot and cold, spring, summer, autumn and winter, bitterness, hotness, sourness, sweetness, bitterness, hotness, sourness, and sweetness. You can't enjoy life. You and I like to enjoy life the most. My fellow, after becoming a demon, people became like this, it is really not like a human being or a ghost, so there is no joy in being alive... This... That's the thing. So before I became a demon, I, Tang Dou Prepare to enjoy the fun of being a mortal for the last time. Young master, I don’t think you will mind?” Tang Dou said with a smile. "Sure enough, the young master is the young master, and his style of obsession is different from others. I guess the young master must have brought his favorite food and wine. It's a pity that we didn't prepare a slim beauty here. Otherwise, the young master will never go to the demon again. I have no regrets at all." Liu Qingyuan said with a slight smile. "Young master, don't worry. In fact, I didn't stop the Tang fight all night last night. I was as beautiful as a jade. I had already enjoyed it to the fullest. Today I brought only four of my favorite wines in my life: Wu Chengruoxia, Yangzhou No. 1 Spring, Guanzhong Grandma Qing , Jiannan Shaochun, and my favorite Jianghu delicacies in my life: boiled edamame, stewed beef, spiced dried tofu, and roasted pheasant with fragrant mud. Only then can I lean forward and become a demon without any worries." Tang Dou sighed with emotion, and said loudly. Hearing Tang Dou's four dishes and four wines, Liu Qingyuan sighed uncontrollably.These four kinds of fine wines are all the famous wines of the Tang Dynasty, and he used to be unhappy with them before he became a demon.Although these four kinds of side dishes are not famous dishes of rich and powerful families, but martial arts children will definitely order these dishes when they travel in the rivers and lakes and meet small shops in wild shops.These four dishes have almost become synonymous with special dishes for the children of the Jianghu.From another perspective, the taste of these four dishes is the taste of the rivers and lakes. "The smell of the rivers and lakes..." The moment these five words appeared in Liu Qingyuan's mind, it was as if a man in a drought had smelled the long-lost smell of rain, and he fell into an unstoppable longing. middle. Although he had only become a demon for half a year, the various experiences during this period made him feel as if he had spent as long as a lifetime.And all kinds of scenery in the world are getting farther and farther away from him, and become more and more blurred. Except for the belief of winning the first place in the world to support him, all the joys in life worth fighting for have gradually disappeared.Those days of hard training in the outer court, those years of wild singing and dancing in the Feng Pavilion, and those singing and shouting in the brothel and wine shop, all seemed to have become dreams of previous lives. "The first taste is like swallowing charcoal, and the throat is like a broken throat. Iron-blooded men only love Shaochun wine." Shaochun wine is the earliest distilled wine in China.Tang Dou held the whole jar of Shaochun wine and drank it with his head tilted up. He sang while drinking, letting the strong aroma of the wine disperse with the wind.Thousands of demons watching around stared straight at Tang Dou sticking out his tongue, licking the wine juice around his lips intently, all of them smacking their lips subconsciously with their tongues dry. "Shugang water is unparalleled in the world, the only spring in the rivers and lakes. Shaolin children don't like wine, so get drunk and don't go to Yangzhou." It immediately aroused the smiles of all the heroes in the evil town hall.When the Shaolin stick monk rescued Qin Wang Li Shimin from Wang Shichong, all the generals of Tiance's government went to Jiangdu and sent a post to invite the Shaolin stick monk to Jiangdu for a banquet.The host of Shaolin refused each other by drinking alcohol, Li Jing said with a smile: Shaolin disciples don't like alcohol, and try the first spring in Jiangdu.The Shaolin stick monk mistakenly thought that the first spring was the water of Shugang, so he went there happily. After drinking the first spring, everyone was very happy, and drank until he was very drunk. Since then, the first spring has become famous all over the world.Hearing the name of the first spring, the wine worms in everyone's stomachs were drawn out. Tang Dou grabbed the roasted pheasant with fragrant mud on the small table, tore off the dried mud, stuffed the glistening chicken into his mouth indiscriminately, grabbed the grandma's sake at the side, sniffed it by his nose, raised his head and let out a long sigh: "Bing Defeat can’t escape the trap of beauty, break up the family but seek good fortune, dismissed from office only because of Chang’an cakes, and beheaded as grandma.” In the Tang Dynasty, grandma’s sake was famous in Guanzhong, and all Chang’an wine shops used grandma’s sake to attract knight-errants. There are Orchids in restaurants to persuade them to drink.When the Jinling children chanted, they all regarded grandma's sake as a fine wine that could break the head and break the family.The coolness of Grandma Sake makes people feel refreshed, and it is the must-drink refreshing wine for rangers before hunting. When they hear Tang Dou's songs, people's minds are like wild horses that have run wild, and they fly to the green grass in Guanzhong in an instant. in the wilderness. After drinking Grandma Qing, Tang Dou raised Wu Chengruo's wine with straight hands, and sighed heavily: "I have lost more than a dozen good brothers in a pot of wine. But good wine is always good wine. Brothers in the underground will not blame me for drinking the last jar of Wu Chengruoxia in my life. As the saying goes, if the Wu family is down, the ants will still float, and the Baiyu Zun will rest when he falls. It is not that Chunlai prefers wine, and he should have wine to relieve spring sorrow. "After reciting the poems of Mr. Xu Daguan, he raised his head and drank a few sips of wine, lowered the wine jar, and slowly poured the remaining wine in the jar on the bluestone floor of Xuanhong Pavilion.The smell of wine in Zhen'e Hall intensified several times in an instant. Those who love wine gathered in the hall smelled the refreshing aroma of wine, all of them were salivating, their hearts were burning, and they couldn't help but want to pull their legs out. Run to find your favorite restaurant, order a pot of famous wine in Tang Dou's hands, drink until the sky is dark, and get drunk. Tang Dou's drunken singing was like a cruel iron hook, bloody hooking out the thoughts deep in Liu Qingyuan's heart that he didn't dare to think about and didn't want to think about.He suddenly painfully discovered that he had lost too many things on the road to magic and martial arts: good wine, delicious food, the touch of life, and the feeling of heaven and earth.The increasingly weak sense of existence often made him unable to distinguish whether he was alone or a zombie.Yes, he has indeed become the invincible king, but is it worth it?Can he really enjoy the thrill of being invincible in the world? He closed his eyes, shook his head vigorously, and tried his best to drive out these thoughts that made him lose ground, and said with a sneer: "Young master, seeing that the wine is gone, the delicacies are empty, and the auspicious time is about to pass, we should hurry up." Drink the magic medicine." He turned around and winked at the boy in white beside him.The clever young man immediately walked to Tang Dou's side quickly, and handed the Nanjiang magic medicine in a blue and white porcelain bottle to his eyes. "Hmph, you wish I could become an ignorant demon like you, right? If I become a demon, we'll probably have to compete in concealed weapon kung fu again from scratch." Tang Dou stood up and said with an expression of resentment. "The number one hidden weapon in the world is not my wish. I don't care if I win or lose. As long as young and old join the ranks of demons, the whole world will be dominated by demons." Liu Qingyuan suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart when he said this. At this moment, he realized that even if the devil really ruled the world, life would be nothing more than that.This feeling was like a dose of poison piercing his internal organs, which made him uncomfortable for a while. "Well, today is the last day of my Tang Sect young master's life. After today, I will be the demon Tang Dou." Tang Dou grabbed the porcelain bottle from the tray, lifted the cap, and put The mouth of the bottle was aligned with his own mouth. Whether they are decent people, devils, or quacks who want to become demons but haven't had the courage to drink the medicine in the Town of Evil Hall, there is an inexplicable sadness in their hearts at this time.Whether Tang Dou is an enemy or a friend, the Jianghu with him will always be full of vigorous vigor and vitality. Those who have suffered countless hardships under Tang Dou's hands can't help but feel nostalgic when they recall the days when they were against Tangmen.But such a hero who is rare in a hundred years in the rivers and lakes will drink the magic medicine and transform into a demon.From now on, will the rivers and lakes of Datang be the same as before?In the Jianghu of the Tang Dynasty, will there still be children of the Jianghu who sing, sing, drink and drink?
