Chapter 212: Master and Disciple Reunited, and the Complete Autumn Water Secret
Lingnan, the secret land of bamboo sea.
The moonlight is bright and the peach trees are crimson.
The flowers of the paulownia tree have long since faded, leaving behind fist-sized paulownia fruits hanging on the branches like wind chimes.
Under the full moon, two jade-like young men flew in from the edge of the peach forest, one in front and one behind.
"You two little guys, why are you here so late?"
From an exquisite thatched cottage under the phoenix tung tree, the voice of the Confucian immortal Gu Chen was heard.
He was about to lie down in his clothes when he felt a slight vibration coming from the barrier of the Peach Forest Secret Realm.
It was the aura of two young men, one was Wen Yanzhao, and the other was the disciple he thought about day and night - Baili Dongjun.
Baili Dongjun was startled when he heard the voice and froze in his place...
"Master!"
After calling out "Master", two crystal tears gently fell on the peach petals all over the ground.
Wen Yanzhao called softly:
"Cousin, the master is inside, go see him."
Baili Dongjun turned his head, his eyes red and tears welling up, he grabbed Wen Yanzhao by the collar and growled in hatred:
"Cousin! Why did you hide it from me?!"
"Master is obviously not dead, why did you hide it from me!"
Wen Yanzhao felt helpless, but didn't know how to explain...
At this moment, Gu Chen's gentle voice came from the depths of the peach forest again:
"Dongjun, I asked your cousin to do this."
"Come in quickly and let Master see if my good disciple has grown any taller in the past six months..."
Baili Dongjun quickly let go of Wen Yanzhao, pouted and sobbed:
"Cousin, is this true?"
Wen Yanzhao rubbed Baili Dongjun's head and nodded with a smile.
Baili Dongjun quickly raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, and rushed into the depths of the peach forest like an arrow.
Gu Chen had her hair tied up in a bun, was dressed in white, and was sitting under a phoenix tung tree.
There was still the same desk in front of him, but today there was an extra wine glass on it.
Baili Dongjun stopped about ten feet away, and Gu Chen's figure appeared in his eyes.
"Master..."
He called out "Master" and then couldn't utter another word.
Gu Chen raised his head, and when Baili Dongjun saw his master's face, he felt as if he were in another world!
The master's eyes are still so gentle, and his silver hair is still whiter than snow...
"Dongjun, you've gotten a bit tanned lately. You must have suffered a lot!"
Gu Chen looked at Baili Dongjun lovingly.
"Master..."
Baili Dongjun could no longer restrain himself, and stumbled to Gu Chen and hugged him tightly.
"Master... That's great! You're still alive... I knew you wouldn't die!"
"My master is the most powerful master in the world, how could he die so easily!"
"It's all my cousin's fault... He kept it from me on purpose! My uncle kept it from me, and my grandfather kept it from me too!"
"Master... wuwu... I miss you so much..."
Gu Chen gently stroked Baili Dongjun's back and comforted him softly:
"Don't blame them. It was Master who forbade them to tell you."
"I know your character very well. If you knew that your master was still alive, you would come to me regardless of everything."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will implicate the Zhenxi Marquisate, and both your family and the Wen family will suffer!"
"Things are different now. The Marquis of Zhenxi governs the four southwestern states, and has ample money and grain. Your cousin has also entered the realm of trance, and he's more than capable of protecting the Baili and Wen families!"
"Alright, alright, now you see me in person, don't you? Stop crying. You're a real man, why are you crying like that?"
As he spoke, Gu Chen took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped away the tears on Baili Dongjun's face.
"Master...what happened in Qiandong City? Why did Master come to Lingnan?"
Baili Dongjun sobbed and asked the doubts in his heart intermittently.
Gu Chen did not rush to tell Baili Dongjun the reason for all this. He just picked up the lake blue wine jug and poured three glasses of wine.
"These things are a long story, we have plenty of time to talk about them slowly!"
"Dong Jun, I heard Yan Zhao say last time that you brewed seven lamps of starry night wine. Is that true?"
Baili Dongjun nodded obediently, picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, saying:
"It's true. At the time, I had a drinking contest with Master Xie of Diaolou Xiaozhu. By chance, I got inspiration from the Wine Classic and brewed this Seven Starry Night Wine... Speaking of which, this was all thanks to Sikong Changfeng who brought so many precious medicinal herbs from Yaowang Valley!"
"Master, why does the wine you brew taste... different from mine?"
Gu Chen smiled and said:
"Different herbs naturally have different flavors... However, I brewed it according to the instructions in the Wine Classic. Perhaps its efficacy is inferior to your wine. After all, the herbs in Lingnan are far inferior to those in Yaowang Valley."
As he spoke, Gu Chen waved to Wen Yanzhao, who was teasing a few bamboo green snakes about ten feet away.
"Yan Zhao, put down your snake and come and taste the Starry Night Wine I brewed and see how it tastes compared to Dongjun's!"
Wen Yanzhao's face flushed, and he stuffed a few underage bamboo snakes into his arms, then walked quickly to the table.
"Then I'd be disrespectful to refuse!"
After saying that, Wen Yanzhao took the lead in raising his glass and drinking it, closing his eyes and feeling the wonderful feeling brought by the seven-flavor wine entering his throat.
Mellow, refreshing, sweet, fragrant, strong, spicy, warm...
The seven flavors merge into one, yet you can still taste their original flavors in the combined wine.
Wen Yanzhao closed his eyes, savored it, and couldn't help but admire:
"Good wine!"
As the wine entered the stomach, the medicinal herbs began to take effect.
Starting from the Danzhong point, a warm current circulates along the Renmai meridian and finally diffuses to the Mingmen point in the lower back.
Wen Yanzhao, whose cultivation had reached the state of spiritual travel and whose internal strength was already pure and profound, did not gain much benefit from this glass of wine. It only made his meridians more unobstructed and smooth.
Wen Yanzhao opened his eyes, his gaze sparkling:
"Sir, the mystery is beyond words!"
Gu Chen nodded gently: "Okay, Dongjun, everything else in the pot is yours!"
"Remember, don't leave a single drop. Drink it all."
Baili Dongjun couldn't hold back any longer, so he didn't even need a cup. He just lifted the wine jug and poured it into his mouth...
At this moment, Baili Dongjun felt a cool sensation on his forehead, as if raindrops were falling from the sky.
After finishing the wine, Baili Dongjun wiped his mouth with a smile:
"Master! Your wine tastes... richer than mine! And the medicinal flavor doesn't overpower the wine; it complements it perfectly!"
“What an amazing feeling!”
Wen Yanzhao covered his mouth and laughed secretly:
"My cousin can use idioms now, ha, and he uses them quite well!"
Baili Dongjun wrinkled his nose:
"I seem to hear someone laughing at me?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the raindrops began to fall more and more, faster and faster...
"Master, it's raining!"
Baili Dongjun blurted out, and at this moment, the true energy in his body also circulated in the Ren and Du meridians like Wen Yanzhao!
But the difference is that Baili Dongjun's natural martial arts talent showed its excellence at this time!
The true energy seemed to be growing more and more, and becoming purer and purer.
Baili Dongjun only felt that his dantian was extremely warm and swollen, causing a dull pain.
Gu Chen used a strange technique and lightly flicked it, and the rain gathered into a water dragon about a foot long out of thin air!
"Dong Jun, let me teach you the true Autumn Water Technique!"
