I am not a trainer

The sun was setting.

The vast Kunlun, above the sea of ​​clouds, the sunset of Yuxu Peak is majestic and spectacular.

There is a courtyard on the top of the peak, Luo He pushed the door and walked out, turned around, and thanked again:

"Thank you for your information, Master Lu Chang'an."

"It's just a little effort."

The old man with white hair and childlike face smiled kindly and said:

"If the two of you can really meet Bai Ze, it will be a lucky thing for me."

Lin Xiaolin was puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"There is a saying in "Baopuzi" that Bai Ze understands the emotions of all things, knows the things of ghosts and gods, and wards off evil spirits and disasters. It is a symbol of auspiciousness."

Lu Chang'an said with a smile: "If you two can see the auspicious beast Bai Ze, the people of Li and the common people will all enjoy the auspicious celebration."

Luo He nodded thoughtfully.

Luo He has always felt that Bai Ze has a high status among the beasts.

Because Bai Ze knows everything about yin and yang, and knows all the ghosts and gods in the world like the palm of his hand.

According to legend, Bai Ze told Emperor Wu about the situation of the world's fierce beasts.

Emperor Wu ordered people to record it, and it was an artifact [Bai Ze Tu].

In the artifact [Bai Ze Tu], tens of thousands of beasts are recorded, and even the characteristics and exorcising methods of each fierce beast are included.

But with the passage of time, Bai Zetu has been lost in modern times and has been reduced to an illusory legend.

To sum up, Bai Ze has the ability to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, know the Three Realms, and bless all people.

In Luo He's view, Bai Ze, who knows everything, is even better than the "Four Spirits of Heaven".

After all, owning Bai Zetu is equivalent to possessing powerful abilities such as "distinguishing all ingredients in the world".

But in terms of belief alone, the number of people who believe in Bai Ze is far less than those who believe in Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and Baihu.

This may also have something to do with Bai Ze's seldom showing up in the Kunlun Void Realm.

According to Master Lu, it is rare for Bai Ze to go down the mountain, the purpose is to make private wine from the villagers.

Luo He still doesn't know Bai Ze's temper.

But take precautions, start with the word "wine", and you should be able to make some progress.

Lu Changan looked at the magnificent dusk on Yuxu Peak, and said:

"It's getting late, why don't you two rest overnight in the Taoist temple, and then go to Yuxian Peak to look for Bai Ze tomorrow, how about it?"

Luo He glanced at Lin Xiaolin.

The short-haired beauty shrugged her shoulders, saying that she was here to serve as a bodyguard, and the specific itinerary was still arranged by Luo He.

Luo He also plans to take advantage of tonight to prepare some wine-related ingredients that may be used.

Lin Xiaolin has a private jet... asking her to help run errands can greatly improve the efficiency of operations.

"Then bother you."

Luo He accepted Master Lu's invitation to temporarily stay at Yuxu Taoist Temple for one night.

Master Lu ordered his disciples to prepare two guest rooms, and personally led Luo He and Lin Xiaolin to visit a spectacle on Yuxu Peak.

The wonder is called [Kunlun Spring]. The spring pool is surrounded by granite, and a clear spring in the center suddenly gushes out from the bottom of the pool, like a blooming lotus.

"This spring water is cold and sweet, and the water quality is transparent, like fine nectar and jade liquid. The pure natural spring water can be rated as a third-level resource. It is called [Bingshan Nectar], and it has certain healing effects." Master Lu said.

Looking at the spring water, Luo He's eyes moved slightly.

Whether this spring water is used for cooking, brewing wine or cultivating Xuexue, it is a rare treasure...

At this time, Master Lu said:

"I have prepared some iceberg nectar, and I will give it to the two of you when you are about to leave. It is a small gift, and it is a token of my heart."

Luo He was slightly taken aback, looked at the immortal elder, and saw him smile kindly.

"I don't need my share, let's give it to Luo He." Lin Xiaolin said bluntly, and said with a smile, "Although I borrow flowers to present Buddha, my gratitude is still the same."

Master Lu smiled slightly, looked at the clear and cold spring water, and said:

"About this Kunlun Spring, there is a legend related to Emperor Nong. I wonder if you two might be interested."

Related to Nongdi?

Luo He's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "I would like to hear about it!"

Master Lu put on his taoist robe, restrained his gaze, and said slowly:

"In the year of severe drought, Emperor Nong traveled across mountains and rivers to Kunlun to look for Bai Ze."

"Seeing that Emperor Nong was busy in the world and hungry, Bai Ze hosted a banquet in honor of Emperor Nong, and said, drink good wine and temporarily relieve sorrow."

Master Lu put his sleeves on and looked up at a misty peak in the distance, as if imagining the scene at that time, he murmured:

"At that time, Emperor Nong was holding a golden bottle above the sea of ​​clouds, and seeing the people of Kunlun suffering from drought under the sea of ​​clouds, his heart trembled, and he accidentally knocked over the wine bottle."

"The gold bottle was thrown to the ground, and the nectar overflowed, and the overflowing nectar turned into the water of this Kunlun pool."

Master Lu looked at the trickling clear spring and said:

"This is the origin of [Kunlun Pool] and [Bingberg Nectar]."

Lin Xiaolin folded his arms, rubbed his chin, and said:

"Why do I feel that Emperor Nong knocked over the wine glass on purpose?"

Luo He complained in his heart.

Bai Ze is not authentic, drinking after a drought?

Master Lu said with a smile: "The charm of the story lies in the fact that there are thousands of interpretations, and the truth may only be known to the person concerned."

"Speaking of which, Bai Ze's seniority should be higher than Emperor Nong's, right?" Luo He asked after thinking about it.

"Seniority is not an appropriate term." Master Lu said with a faint smile, "But that's the general idea."

Luo He fell into deep thought.

As early as the time of Emperor Wu, Bai Ze had met Emperor Wu once, and left behind the artifact [Bai Ze Tu].

Emperor Wu's lifespan is not recorded in the history books, but a trainer who is as strong as him is estimated to have a lifespan of a thousand years.

In the era of Emperor Nong, if it was still the original Bai Ze, Emperor Nong would have to respect him when he saw him.

If the modern Bai Ze is still the same Bai Ze from the time of Emperor Wu——

Luo He took a breath in his heart.

Turtle, who is several thousand years older than Senior Turtle, and her seniority is ridiculously high!

"It shouldn't be so..."

Luo He said in his heart: "The Xuanwu family has changed three generations, and the Qilin family has passed on for several generations. It makes no sense for the Bai Ze family to still be the same Bai Ze from Emperor Wu's era."

Moreover, this story made Luo He more convinced of one thing.

Wine must be Bai Ze's favorite.

But Bai Ze knows everything, and must have tasted all the good wines in Donghuang, and Chixia wine probably won't be able to get into his eyes.

What kind of wine should be used as the key to impress Bai Ze?

Night fell.

After thinking about it, Luo Hesi gave Lin Xiaolin a list.

Lin Xiaolin took the list, glanced at the dazzling array of wine names, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Are you insomnia?"

"No, it's to prepare for the visit to Bai Ze tomorrow."

Luo He helplessly spread his hands and said: "I thought, Bai Ze should like to drink, but ordinary wine will definitely not impress him, so we have to win by surprise."

"I see."

Lin Xiaolin glanced at the list again, clicked his tongue and said:

"Let the Mechanic Master run errands for you, you're already pretty enough... Just wait, I'll prepare the ingredients for you tomorrow!"

That night.

Lin Xiaolin drove the Fengshen Machine Eagle down the mountain and purchased the raw materials on the list overnight.

Luo He went to bed early and got up early to recharge his batteries. At dawn, he prepared a hearty breakfast for Lin Xiaolin who returned.

Beside the dining table, Lin Xiaolin yawned and lazily said:

"I've prepared everything for you~ Many wine shops are closed, so I had to knock on the door to buy."

"Miss Lao Xiaolin is here!" Luo He said sincerely.

"Thank you, it's a necessary part of the mission after all." Lin Xiaolin held his chin and said with some depression, "I'm just a little regretful that I've accepted Wan Qing's commission..."

Luo He smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's eat first."

Lin Xiaolin glanced at the honey and red bean double-skin milk on the table, absently scooped up a spoonful of suet-like milk jelly, and put it in his mouth.

In an instant, Lin Xiaolin's eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly:

"By the way, when are we going to Yuxian Peak? I can't wait!"

Luo He: "..."

Facts have proved that if people do not eat breakfast, they will lose energy!

After breakfast, Lin Xiaolin was full of momentum and took the lead, leading Luo He to say goodbye to Master Lu.

After receiving the gift of [Iceberg Nectar], Luo He followed Lin Xiaolin on the Fengshen Jiying.

On the way, Lin Xiaolin said casually:

"Yesterday, a beautiful sister asked me for your contact information, but I refused, because Wanqing is not in a good mood recently."

"Why is Wan Qing in a bad mood recently?" Luo He asked.

Lin Xiaolin stared at Luo He, trying hard to hold back a smile.

Luo He asked strangely: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Xiaolin didn't answer, he patted Luo He's shoulder vigorously, and laughed loudly:

"Very good, you have a strong desire to survive, if it's you, you will definitely be able to catch up with Master Li!"

Luo He realized later and had an epiphany.

It must be because I delayed the trip to Daxue Mountain too late, and Captain Li was in a bad mood.

There was no other way, the Kunlun Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, majestic and majestic, and Bai Ze's whereabouts were difficult to determine.

This trip is estimated to take a few more days.

However, Luo He is already mentally prepared for a protracted battle...

As the "Heir of Emperor Nong", invite Bai Ze to come out of the mountain!

tuk tuk -

The Fengshen Jiying turned into an airplane and approached Yuxian Peak. Luo He and Lin Xiaolin were in the cockpit.

Yuxian Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, and there was a faint enchantment shrouded in it. The Fengshen Jiying could only dock at the foot of the mountain.

Looking up at the misty Yuxian Peak, Luo He said in a complicated tone:

"It seems that we can only climb up on foot..."

"Don't panic, I estimate that the climb will take three or four hours at most."

Lin Xiaolin paused, pointed to Yunxiao, and said, "Did you see that?"

Following Lin Xiaolin's fingers, Luo He saw a blue bird dancing around Yuxian Peak, and said in surprise:

"Blue Phoenix Luan?"

"No, that's the blue bird, a pet beast that lives in the Kunlun Mountains. It is also a legendary messenger of the gods, representing unswerving love."

Lin Xiaolin said: "Li Wanqing's Blue Phoenix Luan evolved from a blue bird. Her blue bird seems to be left by her parents..."

Luo He thought of Qingfengluan's usual performance, and pondered:

"I do feel that Master Li's Qingfengluan is quite steadfast..."

While chatting, the two climbed up the mountain.

The forest in the mountains is deep and quiet, the clear springs are gurgling, and rare herbs grow, just like a fairyland on earth.

Pet animals such as golden-clothed swallowtail butterfly, Penglai crane, and blue bird flew among them. When they saw the two on the mountain climbing road, they immediately flew away.

Gradually deflecting, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.

Looking around, there are seas of clouds everywhere, magnificent and extraordinary, this place is like a paradise where gods live.

And near the pool, there is a cave, and a stone tablet stands beside the cave.

Luo He and Lin Xiaolin stepped forward to look at it, and saw three words written on the stone tablet:

It's a pity that the bottle is empty.

After the title, there are vertical small characters, which is a poem.

The content of this song "Pity the Bottle" is similar to the "Will Enter the Wine" in Luo He's memory, but there are subtle differences:

[Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky...]

When I read the sentence "to be happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon".

Luo He was a little dazed, feeling that he hadn't traveled through time yet, and was still reading the masterpieces of poets.

And when I read the sentence "all the sages and sages in ancient times died, only the drinkers kept their names".

Luo He's head buzzed, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Yes, this world also has this handed down work.

But the person who wrote this poem was not Li Bai, but a great poet in the era of the Empress in a parallel world. The title is not about drinking wine, but "Pity the Bottle Empty" on the stone tablet.

"All the sages and sages in ancient times died, but the drinkers left their names—"

Lin Xiaolin looked at the stele, murmured verses, his eyes were thoughtful, and said:

"If I'm not wrong, this should be Bai Ze's confession."

Chef Luo's cultural quality is not high, but he instinctively feels the generosity and heroism in this poem.

But at this moment, a trace of tension climbed up in his heart, and goose bumps appeared on his body.

What's the meaning?

If this sentence represents Bai Ze...

Saints are dead.

Doesn't it mean that all the holy beasts of the same age as Bai Ze have fallen, and only Bai Ze remains?

The drinker leaves his name.

Could it be that this is really Bai Ze who lived from the time of Emperor Wu to modern times, that mythical beast with a lifespan of thousands of years! ?

Click!

Behind him came the sound of a branch cracking.

Luo He and Lin Xiaolin shuddered and turned around quickly!

However.

The two discovered that this was just a false alarm.

What appeared in front of them was a harmless little rabbit with red eyes and white ears.

"Scared me." Luo He looked at Lin Xiaolin, "I thought it was Bai Ze."

Lin Xiaolin's expression was solemn... What kind of rabbit could approach without a sound, even without me noticing it?

At this time, the little white rabbit shrugged its ears and said:

"You two are here, why are you here?"

Its voice is like a little girl, clear as a silver bell.

This rabbit can actually speak human language!

Luo He looked shocked, and Lin Xiaolin looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Luo He took the initiative to speak:

"I am the descendant of Emperor Nong, and my name is Luo He. I have come here this time to invite Bai Ze out of the mountain."

The little white rabbit looked as usual, and said:

"Bai Ze is still sleeping in seclusion, please go back, both of you."

Sleep in retreat?

Why choose such a time!

Luo He hesitated for a moment, and said:

"If possible, please tell Bai Ze that the Daxue Mountain is poisoned by miasma, and the common people are threatened by the frost dragon, and they need Bai Ze's assistance!"

The little white rabbit showed a pensive expression, and immediately said:

"Bai Ze once told me that common people have their own destiny, and He has no intention of intervening."

The little white rabbit turned around, twitched its short, fluffy tail, and slid into the grass, when the little girl called:

"Go back, you two, there is no need to come again!"

There was silence all around, and the invisible depression disappeared.

Lin Xiaolin silently looked at Luo He, asking what to do now with his eyes.

Luo He looked around, looked in the direction of the cave, decided to try it out, and said loudly:

"Senior Bai Ze! I have a lot of experience in the way of fine wine. If you don't mind, we can make friends with wine!"

The expected response did not come.

Luo He was not discouraged, and put his hand on the unicorn jade pendant, but a cold wind blew against his face, restraining Luo He's movements.

"Talk, let's go back!" The little girl's voice said, "Wake up Bai Ze, everyone will have a hard time!"

When I came up, I was shut down.

Luo He was not discouraged, and said: "I know that senior Bai Ze is very familiar with the fine wines of Donghuang, but we can discuss the fine wines outside Donghuang."

"For example, tequila, whiskey, rum..." Luo He said.

Lin Xiaolin was stunned for a long time.

Co-author, are you going to give Bai Ze some foreign money?

Bai Ze knows everything, this ability is as terrifying as the rule system, but it is also limited to Donghuang.

However, brewing wine needs at least ten and a half months, and the time is simply too late.

Therefore, the answer given by Luo He was "drinking".

Make a cocktail that makes Bai Ze feel fresh and curious, and wants to take the initiative to taste it!

The surroundings were quiet, Luo He felt uneasy and did not dare to act rashly.

In addition, Chef Luo knows the truth of taking the long-term.

Facing the direction of the cave, bowed and saluted, Luo He said:

"If you don't mind, junior, I'll bother you tomorrow..."
