Grasping Evil

"Dare to ask your son, what is wine?"

"The word for wine is the water of the Youshi. According to the book, You are the tenth of the Earthly Branches, the West, the Autumn, and the season when the rice is fully ripe. Grain brewing water is called wine!"

"This is the language of the scriptures. Weiyu wants to hear the voice of the young master."

"What is intoxicating is wine. Beauty, wealth, fame and fortune in the world, if anything can be intoxicating, what is not wine?"

"Dare to ask the son, why is he drunk?"

"To die from alcohol is to be drunk, to be born to alcohol is to wake up! When you wake up and get drunk, you have the meaning of life and death..."

…

The scene of the endless sea talking about wine that year, little by little, came to Ning Fan's mind.

Today's Weiyu is the same person as the previous year's Weiyu... If so, why is the breath different, and the cultivation base is also different!

Back then, the Tantai Weiyu that Ning Fan encountered was nothing more than a broken emptiness, and the one who descended to the lower realm was just a distraction, but now...

Before it rains, the cultivation base is already the pinnacle of the fifth robbery of all ages!

It is the pinnacle fairy king!

Back then, in Weiyu, Ning Fan could see what he was thinking with the whispering technique, but today's Weiyu couldn't do that, and the whispering technique couldn't play any role...

It's not that Ning Fan's cultivation base is insufficient, but this Weiyu's body has an almost terrifying suction that seems to devour all the spiritual senses and magical powers that bully her...

"Weiyu, who was discussing wine with you back then, was my witch-gu clone in Nantian. The Nantian Tantai family is a long-standing branch of my family. I secretly sent the witch-gu clone out to play, and the elders in the clan didn't know about it. So, don't tell anyone about it, okay?"

Seemingly seeing Ning Fan's confusion, Tantai Weiyu took the initiative to explain.

"Witch Gu clone?" Ning Fan was slightly startled.

"Yes, it's the witch-gu clone. If I don't send a villain to play secretly, I will suffocate to death. You may not be able to imagine that I haven't stepped out of the house for three million years... Fortunately, you scared my house. Elder, I will take this opportunity to come out and play."

"Scare the elders in your family?" Ning Fan was startled again.

"my home,

In the Nan people, their home is here. My hometown is not here..." Tantai Weiyu sighed.

Southern people!

Ning Fan's eyes narrowed slightly. Originally, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, but after Weiyu said the word "Southern Clan," he understood everything.

The reason why this woman followed her. It's for the Southern Clan!

If this woman is the same person as Wei Yu of that year, she must know her details! Is this woman here to expose her identity as a cultivator in the Rain World? But it's not impossible to justify being born in the rain world...

only…

For some unknown reason, Ning Fan had a strange feeling that everything was exposed to this woman's eyes when he met the sly eyes of Weiyu in Shang Tantai.

And if this woman is really malicious. She won't be the only one here, those old monsters from the southern clan will not show mercy to him...

"You followed me for seven days, but didn't show up. You shouldn't, you just wanted to scare me..." Ning Fan suddenly had a weird guess.

"It's no wonder me, who asked you to smash the quasi-saint clone of the third grandfather and scare my grandfather enough, for fear that the Nanzu would get into a big enemy. Haha, I will scare you too. It's also an ancient overhaul, Zhao Jian... my elder sister almost believed it. What's the matter, these seven days, Young Master Ning has been very worried..."

Tantai put down the wine glass before rain, and covered his mouth with a very elegant smile. Among the noble and mature, it gave people a feeling of black belly. It's like chasing Ning Fan around the stars, what an interesting thing...

Ning Fan was speechless.

During these seven days, he also said that there was a peerless powerhouse staring at him. Although he was not worried, he was extremely careful. Like an enemy...

But it turned out that it was just a prank by this woman!

Did this woman find it very interesting to frighten him for seven days in a mysterious way? The black-bellied world is really incomprehensible.

another thing. It made Ning Fan slightly lost. Tantai Weiyu called herself her sister. This title reminded Ning Fan of Luo You inadvertently.

That woman also likes to call herself a sister. I don't know where that woman is now, is she back to Beitian? After all, Beitian is her hometown...

"Young Master Ning, who has countless beauties, did you think of another woman?" Tantai Weiyu covered his mouth with a meaningful smile.

"...Well." Ning Fan didn't deny it, but he thought of another woman and asked, "Back then, Su Qiu's soaring ascension was the girl's witch avatar. Su Qiu is doing fine now, but she has adapted to the life of the Zifu Academy. ?"

This time, it was Yin Suqiu who asked.

"Junior sister is doing very well. According to the news from the witch avatar, the junior sister is now cultivating virtual reality..."

Tantai Weiyu said for a while, and then said,

"Stop talking about this, you haven't answered me yet, do you want to drink the wine from my hometown?"

“Hometown wine…”

Ning Fan nodded, poured himself a glass, tasted it, and was slightly taken aback.

It's not wine...it's water!

But not just plain water...

There is no special taste, no spiritual power, not even wine, but for some reason, drinking this glass of water, Ning Fan's heart is directly at peace.

Ning Fan drank a cup, then a second cup, and a third cup. After three cups, he slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the killing seven days ago, the sea of ​​blood that he had traversed over the years, the path of the sword, the sword, the sword, the path of the bones, the cultivation of a body, and the cultivation of the real world...

He seems to have regained the feeling of being a mortal. He remembered the days when he was young, stepping on the soil to go up the mountain to collect herbs... He remembered his hometown of Haining, and there was a river there. That river seems to be like this...

He seemed to think of Yue Kingdom again, and the snow in Qimei City. This clear water wine seemed to be the boiled snow water...

No, no, this is not real clear water...

Water turned into wine is a transformation.

Wine turned into water is a retrospective.

It's not clear water, but... water made from wine. If you insist on wine, it is clear water wine!

"Good wine."

Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes and gave a fair comment.

This shout was not loud, but it attracted the attention of many monks in the wine shop. These low-level monks gathered in the wine shop, and naturally most of them were good wine people. When they heard good wine, they naturally had to pay attention to one or two. It was a pity that they were destined to be disappointed. The divine sense swept over, but found that Ning Fan's cup was not wine, but water.

"Isn't this person stupid? Even though he drank water, he actually said it was good wine, but he has a problem with his head? Isn't this even good for wine!"

"Don't mention this. If you want me to say, the immortal drunk made by my thousand-year-old cold dew is a real good wine."

"Bullshit, compare with my pot of three thousand years of jade maiden. Your immortal is not drunk!"

"My altar is red..."

"My cup of purple agar..."

The whole room was arguing, and Ning Fan's previous applause was immediately suppressed. There were also a few old drunkards who were proficient in this way, clapping the table and laughing drunkenly, taking Ning Fan's misunderstanding that Qingshui turned into wine as a joke. certainly. These drunkards just gave up with a few casual laughs, and continued drinking their own wine, ignoring Ning Fan, a wine-savvy novice.

Tantai Weiyu closed his eyes silently, unable to hide his inner shock.

Although she gave Ning Fan this wine, she did not expect Ning Fan to understand it. After all, so far, no Eastern Heaven cultivator has ever understood the beauty of this clear water.

She doesn't even know herself...

Ning Fan understands...

Before Tantai Weiyu, the big brother appeared again, standing at Tantai Ferry day after day. Looking at the direction of the vast road. From dawn, to sunset, to eternal night, from Su Chun, to silent autumn, to mid-winter...

I can't forget the lonely expression on the big brother drinking water.

I can't forget the vicissitudes of life that the big brother touched his little head and told himself the story of the vast Tao...

"My name is Ni Fan, and I'm Cang Mang Xiu. But I'm not..."

"I'm not looking at the vast road, but I'm waiting, waiting for an encounter with the butterfly. It's not the vast nine butterflies, but...the once insignificant self."

"...Bangmang Road is the hometown of butterflies. The monks here worship butterflies as gods, just because the vast nine butterflies have been born here. Flying out of the vast road, if a mortal butterfly steps on the vastness, it will be wiped out... Few people know that there was a mortal butterfly that flew out of the vast road... On that day, the ancient sword master entered the vast road and Mu Jian, there was a daring butterfly, Hiding in the sword master..."

"...It's not powerful, it can be called ordinary, but it is just this ordinary, into the eyes of Immortal Emperor Zidou, from the shadows, saw a glimmer of life, so extrajudicial mercy, promised the ancient sword master's bitter plea , gave the butterfly a second life..."

"...When I entered the dream world, it was a mortal butterfly, and the world was reincarnated, it was still a mortal butterfly, Immortal Emperor Zidou didn't help that butterfly too much, for fear of damaging the butterfly's yin, the only time he intervened was only to bring the Great Emperor of Chaos to that butterfly. The cause and effect of the butterfly are linked together... Unfortunately, that hope is still too slim, even before the death of the Immortal Emperor Zidou, he did not have any hope for the butterfly, but placed high hopes on the ancient ten spirits... Unfortunately, the ancient ten Ling lived up to the expectations of Immortal Emperor Zidou, and the trust of hundreds of millions of Immortals of Zidou..."

"...We have an old saying in Cangmandao, a butterfly flapping its wings is enough to change a cycle of reincarnation... The butterfly's origin is ordinary, without ancient blood, and without the support of the family, if it is not cruel, there is no future at all. I would never have thought that the path that Butterfly chose is something that no cultivator in the real world would dare to try! If he does not die, he will return to the vast Dao one day, and I must wait for it, so that I can reach Consummation!"

I don't understand, I don't understand why big brother has to wait for a butterfly.

I don't understand, I don't understand why big brother likes to drink this clear water...

Tantai Weiyu couldn't see the benefits of this clear water wine. She only knew that if the big brother liked it, it would be good... Today, I just want to share this wine with Ning Fan.

But Ning Fan understands...

"Young master is really someone who understands wine. When we meet again today, Rong Weiyu will be rude again. I dare to ask you, what is wine?"

For the first time, Tantai Weiyu asked about wine, and Ning Fan asked about life and death, true and false, cause and effect, and reincarnation, but this time it was different.

The question is still the same, but what Tantai Weiyu asked is no longer the Tao.

Just that clear water...

She remembered the scenes of Cang Mang Dao, her big brother, wanted to understand the original intention of big brother's love of drinking water, and wanted to understand the person she had never understood... There was sadness in her eyes, bitterness, and more But miss.

Tianya Sijun is unforgettable...

Ning Fan frowned slightly. For some reason, he was not used to seeing Tantai Weiyu's sadness. It was the same last time, and this time too. He didn't have a heart for this girl, but he was like Zhao Dier, like looking at his nephews and juniors. It's a strange feeling that the elders feel bad for the younger generation, and it's a strange feeling like being familiar with countless years.

However, Ning Fan is very sure that he has only seen this two times in his life before it rains in Tantai. As a result, the feeling of being extremely familiar can only be explained by an illusion.

"The girl asked. But this clear water wine?"

"You really understand what I want to ask." Tantai Weiyu's sadness decreased slightly and nodded.

"The girl first gave me a drink of clear water, and then asked this question. Naturally, Ning could guess one or two."

Ning Fan paused. After reminiscing about the taste of Qingshui wine, for some reason, I thought of the scene of the old man fishing. After pondering, he said again.

"Last time, I saw life and death, true and false, cause and effect, and reincarnation in wine, this time, I saw Consummation..."

Ning Fan removed the wine jug and glass, stretched out his finger, and with a rush of mana, drew a circle on the wine table with a faint glow.

"When I draw a circle, there must be a place to start the pen, and the starting point of the circle. It must be the end of this circle, this is, complete."

"From water to wine, what we seek is sublimation. From wine to water, it is a retrospective. This retrospective is just walking out of the starting point, going around a circle, and returning to the starting point. Although it is still at the starting point, the circle has been completed. Therefore, this clear water wine can no longer be regarded as clear water, because it has been perfected, so it is extraordinary."

"Life and death are a consummation. From life to death, from death to life, and so on, a circle is formed."

"True and false, it is a consummation. From seeing whether it is true or not. To seeing whether it is true or true, after this circle, the way of true and false can be consummated."

"Cause and effect are also a consummation. Today's people are fishing, and they are fishing for me every year. The cycle of cause and effect is like a circle."

"Look at the Cultivation Star, why is it round, you look at the sun and the moon, why is it round, you look at the human eye, why is it round, you look at this vast starry sky, where is there no circle... All beings in this world are pursuing its Consummation. The edges and corners of cobblestones will be rounded by the tide, and the spirit of a young man will be rounded by the world. This roundness is the road approved by the sky and the destination of all beings in the world, but there are exceptions..."

"In this world, there is also a type of cultivator who doesn't grind away his edges and corners. God blames him for being soft, but he wants to show it with rigidity! God blames it for roundness, and he has to go against it! Similarly, walking from the starting point to the end, It's just... He would rather kowtow to the ground and bleed blood in the midst of reincarnation, but also retain its edges and corners, revealing its edge, and contend with the will of the day... It's not that he can't give in, but he can't compromise, because those edges and corners are his way, which is better than others. Life is more important. As the old saying goes, the sky is round and the place is round. People in the world blindly pursue roundness, but they forget that there is still the road of squareness..."

The sky is round and the place... Big brother seems to have said similar remarks back then...

Tantai Weiyu stared at Ning Fan in a daze. For a moment, he had an illusion, as if he had returned to the endless years before, as if he had returned to the vast road, returned to Tantaidu, and returned to those days when the sky was blue and not raining. with night.

She remembered that day when big brother Ni Fan stood at the intersection and sighed deeply, saying that this Qingshui wine tasted the best when she was homesick, and it was the best wine in the world.

However, it can't be called the first drink in the underground...

On that day, she ignorantly promised that she would make the first underground wine for her eldest brother, but she only made the eldest brother laugh.

"Young Master Ning, do you think this Qingshui wine is worthy of the reputation of the best wine in the world?" Tantai Weiyu suddenly asked.

"Is it the best wine in the world... When I drink this wine, I feel like I'm coming home. If I was young, this wine should be the best wine in the world." Ning Fan replied.

"Young Master Ning thinks that this wine can be regarded as the first wine in the world..."

"The first wine in the underground?"

Ning Fan was startled, it was the first time he heard such a term.

But it's no wonder that if there is a world, there will be an underground. What's wrong? The world is yang, the underground is yin, and the circle is the approval of the sky. This clear water wine has a perfect taste, and it is worthy of being the first wine in the world. Fang, is spicy, must not be bland...

"This wine is not enough to be called the first wine in the underground." Ning Fan replied.

"If you want the son to brew the first wine in the ground, how does the son plan to brew it..." Tantai Weiyu asked.

At this moment, she had some expectations, if Ning Fan knew how to brew it, would she be able to accomplish what she promised her big brother back then and brew this wine.

Even if... Big Brother is no longer there...

"If I go to brew..." Ning Fan thought of his father, the scene when his father made wine with blood back then.

"If I had to brew this first wine in the world, I would still brew it with the method of perfection, but I would add the blood and bones that I have killed all the way to the wine, and use this as the edge. But he is so drunk that he is flesh and blood, worthy of the reputation of the first drink in the underground!"

The wine for practice should be spicy, it should be... the way of the square!

If the circle is yang, then the square is yin, and it is the ultimate yin…

Obviously he was talking about wine, but Ning Fan seemed to have a huge understanding, as if at this moment, he clearly recognized his own path.

Tianmie is practicing, this road is blocked... The meaning of blocking is that this road already exists, but it has been blocked.

"One word of this... Could it be the road to practice that God wants to block!"

Others cultivate the sky, but the one who practices cultivation is the earth!

With these thoughts together, Ning Fan's eyes on the Nandou Xingshanhe suddenly changed! (To be continued.)
