Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain Chapter 345

 The night falls.

 The open space in the village.

 A huge bonfire was lit.

　　to make the surrounding area as bright as day.

 For the nomads, this kind of feast is extremely rare on weekdays, except for traditional festivals and shamanic sacrificial rituals such as offering sacrifices to mountains, snow, rivers, and heaven.

 No wonder the people in the village were so excited.

 After all, last time.

 It's still Nowruz.

The whole family celebrated and the bonfire burned for three days.

 But that was already a few months ago. After winter, there are already very few activities, and most people turn off the lights and go to sleep as soon as night falls.

It's so lively tonight.

Even the elderly were alarmed.

Hand on crutches, he leaned against the door and looked at it with a smile.

  It's like seeing the scene when you were young.

As for the children, they cheered even more and ran back and forth around the bonfire, just like the New Year.

 Wait until the flames rise into the sky.

 Men, women, old and young in the village wrap their arms around each other.

 Gather the hunting team and Chen Yulou's group in the middle, dance in a circle, and cheer for celebration.

 And by the fire.

Slaughter and wash the goose-throated antelope, place it on the fire pond, and when it is stirred by the flames, the rich meaty aroma fills the air.

 More people.

  It is to bring drinks from the storehouse.

 The old foreigners looked at each other and clicked their tongues for a while, as if they had returned to the Malu Village in Zhelong Mountain. Even though more than half a year had passed, those few days were simply a nightmare for them.

 “Brother Chen, come, please.”

 Wait until the low table is placed.

Po Li smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the group.

 The young men in the hunting team behind him were all eager to try.

This look is very familiar to Chen Yulou.

 Getting ready.

 Same as before going into battle.

It's just that tonight there are no enemies and no smoke, only the guests who are about to be overwhelmed by them.

 “Thank you.”

 See this situation.

 Chen Yulou knew that he would not be able to escape tonight, so he smiled helplessly.

 Amidst the laughter of everyone in the surrounding village, everyone took their seats one by one.

 Low wooden table.

Altars of wine are lined up.

 At a rough glance, there are dozens of altars.

Being surrounded by a wine jar like him that never pours a thousand cups, I couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.

 Turks, Dangxiang, Mongols, Tatars, and Khitans.

These nomads are better drinkers than the others, and even children of several years old can serve several bowls.

“Brother Chen, the clan leader has told us to entertain you tonight.”

Po Li picked up a clay pot and patted off the sealing mud. Immediately, a pungent and rich aroma of wine filled the air from the pot.

The voice fell.

　　　You saw him raising his head and approaching the mouth of the altar.

 Gurgling, drinking most of it in one breath.

 “Good drinker!”

 “Poliber is so mighty!”

"good!"

 He was able to set a good example for the rest of the group. For a while, the young people in the hunting team cheered non-stop.

 Normally, they had great reverence for Po Li.

  Such a bold and bold move now has won countless shouts from the mountains.

　　After half a bottle of strong wine, I saw that his face was still very calm and showed no change at all. He just wiped the corner of his mouth with his backhand and took a long breath of alcohol.

　　around is Kunlun, who has an amazing capacity for drinking.

 Looking at him, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

 “Brother Chen, please!”

Putting down the wine jar, Po Li laughed and said.

 “It's hard to reject warm hospitality, so Chen will be rude.”

Chen Yulou smiled and picked up a jar.

 Be familiar with and pat off the sealing mud.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, he raised one hand to his mouth, and the wine turned into an arc and slowly flowed into his mouth.

 Once it enters the throat.

 The drink suddenly turned into a fire, passing through his belly.

He couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This wine must have been stored in a cave for at least ten years to have such astonishing potency.

The taste is rich and fragrant.

Comparing it to the Liulin wine I drank in the northern Shaanxi guild hall in Kashgar the night before yesterday, which is also the Xifeng wine that became famous all over the world in later generations, it was no worse.

 Praise for the good wine.

Chen Yulou didn't stop drinking.

Everyone around them gradually realized that something was wrong, and the faces of those young people began to show surprise and doubt. By the time they were halfway down, the shock had turned into shock.

 Until he still had no intention of stopping.

Even Po Li was shocked.

 Turkish people are the best at drinking wine, and they have grown up in wine jars since childhood.

But even so, the strong wine used to entertain them tonight is not something that ordinary people can bear. Drinking it in one gulp is like swallowing fire.

No matter how cold the weather is, if you take a sip, your whole body will feel hot. Even if you only have a single piece of clothing on you, you will not feel the coldness in the ice and snow.

 Having just finished half of the altar.

His expression seemed unchanged.

 In fact, the whole person felt like he was in a furnace at this moment.

 It is almost a consensus that Han people are not good at drinking.

but…

At the moment, Brother Chen has drank most of the jar. Although he has been taking his time from beginning to end, his figure is as steady as a mountain and his face is as calm as water.

"this…"

 The more I looked at Po Li, the more shocked I became.

 What kind of drink is this?

As for the young people in the hunting team around them, they no longer dared to speak and just stared blankly.

 Instead, it was the Kunlun people who were traveling with them.

 From the initial worry, now I am becoming more and more calm.

Especially Partridge Whistle. After recalling it carefully, he seemed to have never seen this person drunk before.

soon.

 When the last drop of wine falls into your mouth.

 Chen Yulou put down the jar with unfinished content.

 I just feel the energy and blood all over my body, but I don't feel restless at all. Instead, I feel indescribably comfortable.

 “Have fun!”

 “Brother Poli, does this wine have a name?”

 Sighed out lightly.

 Chen Yulou's eyes became clearer and clearer.

 My whole body feels as warm as a furnace.

　　It was as cold as a glacier when night fell, but I couldn't feel the slightest chill.

 “Naiman!”

 heard him ask.

Po Li finally recovered from the shock.

“The Naiman people are a tribe in my Turkic past. It is said that they brewed this kind of strong wine, and then it spread among the tribes, so it was named after the tribe.”

 The history of the Turks is extremely complex.

Even Po Li themselves can hardly tell which branch their ancestors belong to.

　　We can only get a rough idea from word of mouth.

 Just like the Naiman tribe.

 In fact, they have been integrated into the Mongolian people for a long time and have become a piece of history.

 After saying that, Po Li finally reacted.

 “Brother Chen is really rich.”

“The Turks are the best at drinking, and the Naiman are even more ferocious. Most people can only taste it briefly and have to pour a few cups, but you can actually drink a jar in one go.”

 “Hahaha, Chen is also happy to see Xun Xin.”

 Chen Yulou waved his hand.

 The corner of his eye glanced around.

The group of people who were originally eager to give it a try did not dare to look at him now.

I originally thought about getting them drunk tonight to show their Turkic tribe's drinking capacity.

How to play this?

"continue?"

Hearing this, Po Li couldn't help but jump heavily at the corners of his eyes.

“Don't be in a hurry, brother Chen, there's no reason to drink it dry. Goose-throated antelope is the most delicacy in the sea of ​​fish, it tastes great, and it looks like it's almost ready, so why not wait first.”

 As soon as I heard this.

Several young people nodded immediately.

On the contrary, Karen, the young man with gray eyebrows and narrow shoulders, walked up without saying a word.

 “Lord Bo Zhen, I'm coming.”

 “Your boy?”

Poli glanced at him in astonishment.

"There is no reason for our Turks to keep guests waiting. Karen asked herself if she could drink well, so she had the courage to come and accompany you Burkes."

Karen's voice was calm.

He just raised his eyebrows, with a gleam of a wolf cub in his eyes.

Po Li was slightly startled when he heard this, then he couldn't help but grin, stepped forward, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and brought him back to the table.

"Good, you have the courage." "As expected of the Tumo of my Turkic tribe!"

 There is an arrogance about this kid, which is almost the same as when he was young.

Although young.

 But just give him enough time.

 At that time, many tribal villages along Yuhai Sea will surely spread his name.

Seeing him silently step forward to lift the jar, Chen Yulou waved his hand.

 “Just drink slowly.”

"It's not a matter of grudge. There's no need to do it like this. If you hurt your body and bones, you'll be in trouble."

Karen was stunned.

 It seems that he did not expect that he would say such a thing.

Instead, Po Li smiled and nodded at him.

He understands this sentence better than anyone that drinking alcohol is harmful to the body. Many of the elderly people in the tribe are suffering from diseases due to excessive drinking in their youth.

 “Then Karen pours wine for you.”

 Took out the wine cups from the side, lined them up and placed them in front of everyone.

He then lifted up the jars and filled them one by one.

 “Come, everyone, celebrate your safe return!”

Po Li took the lead in holding the wine cup, stood up, and said loudly.

 For a time, the celebrations continued.

When the roasted golden-brown goose-throated antelope with sizzling oil beads was brought up, the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.

but.

He was about to call on everyone to take action.

Suddenly, a young man hurried in from outside and said something to Po Li. The next moment, he saw a flash of surprise on his face.

 “Brother Poli?”

Chen Yulou doesn't understand Turkic, but he can vaguely guess some.

But it still needs to be confirmed.

“Brother Chen, good news, Oona and the others have arrived outside the village.”

 Sure enough!

 Hearing his explanation, Chen Yulou's heart moved.

He had guessed that it would be news about the kidnappers' team. Otherwise, he would never have imagined that there would be other news that could make him so excited so late at night.

 “The kidnapper has arrived?”

 “It's so fast, let's move forward and backward.”

 “Let's go and have a look.”

 As soon as I heard this.

Kunlun and Hong girl also looked happy.

Crossing the Black Desert was not much safer than their detour from the Kunlun Mountains and the Tarim Basin. They were able to arrive in just a few days, so one can imagine that they probably didn't get much rest along the way.

 Wait until they arrive at the village gate.

 I heard a noise in the distance.

The leader, who could be a kidnapper, was currently calling the guys to drive the horses, horses, and camels into the village.

 Oona was talking to the tribesmen.

"Hey, shopkeeper, you've really arrived. Those people just said you were in the stockade, but I couldn't believe it."

 Hear that familiar voice.

Huama, who was busy, was stunned for a moment.

Turning around, when his eyes fell on everyone, he looked at the familiar figures.

Thousands of words are stuck in my heart.

Kunlun rarely joked, "Luckily, tonight is a bonfire feast, so we can have enough food and wine."

“I'm really lucky, I haven't even had time to roast the sheep yet.”

 Listen to the laughter of a group of people.

Huamaguai felt that all his tiredness had dissipated a lot.

After greeting him, Chen Yulou's eyes fell on the slender and quiet figure not far away.

 “Girl Oona, it's been a hard journey.”

 It's not that she leads the way.

Their trip to the ancient city will not go so smoothly.

Although some of the team members encountered misfortune, such as being unable to adapt to the extreme cold and suffering from hypothermia, or dying from the poison in the desert, more than 90% of the team of nearly 300 people returned alive in the end.

 It was simply unimaginable in the past.

Among the four factions in the rebellion, why is it that only Xiling has the largest number of people?

　　It's not because the inheritance is the most complete and the power is the largest. On the contrary, fighting is not a treat. Death and injury are the most common thing. It is not an empty lie to hang the head on the belt.

Most of the guys in Changsheng Mountain are cannon fodder.

That life fills the way and clears the way.

However, in this troubled world, human life is as cheap as grass. Anyway, it is a dead end, so it is better to give it a try.

Only those close friends of the Chen family, who have relied on the big tree of the Chen family for generations, will not take death lightly.

 Let alone fighting in a harsh environment like the Black Desert.

 Put it to a few years ago.

 I'm lucky if half of a team of three hundred people survive.

 “Shopkeeper Chen, you're welcome.”

 “Oona didn't do anything.”

Oona shook her head.

Having personally experienced the ancient city of Jingjue, she understood very well how powerful these people in front of her were.

 Even if you don't have yourself.

It's only a matter of time before we cross the Black Desert.

Furthermore, she didn't say a word. This trip could be regarded as a mutual achievement. After all, she wouldn't have been able to find her mother's bones without turning back to the ancient city of Jingjue on the way.

  Not walking with them.

 It is even more impossible to find so many sacred trees.

 That's right.

This trip she brought back a large amount of Kunlun sacred trees, enough for dozens or even hundreds of years.

 While the two were talking.

 The tribesmen around them seemed to have seen something, and they all got out of the way, with respectful looks on their faces.

Even Polly was like this.

Hold your hands together and bow.

 “Master Wizard!”

In the light of the fire, a short old man with a stubble on his face, wearing a colorful robe and a drum hanging on his waist appeared in front of everyone.

 The moment I saw him.

Chen Yulou immediately understood something and took half a step back calmly.

  Did not disturb the reunion of father and daughter.

 “Na…Oona.”

Looking at his daughter's figure, A Zhiya, who rushed over after getting the news, his eyes were full of joy.

only.

 Haven't seen it in so many years.

 When the words come to my lips, I don't know how to say them.

 He hesitated in place for a moment, feeling indescribably awkward.

 “No, it's fine.”

His daughter is safe and sound, and his anxious heart can finally calm down.

He mumbled something.

Azhiya was afraid that if he stayed, it would arouse his daughter's disgust, so he backed away hesitantly.

 But, just took a few steps.

　　A voice that I had not heard for who knows how many years came from behind.

A Zhiya felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his old face was full of excitement, and his eyes turned red instantly.

 “Atta, look, I found it in the ancient city.”

Oona burst into tears.

 Slowly raised his right hand and pulled his sleeve down, revealing a green-white wrist.

 But Azhiya's eyes were immediately attracted by the silver bracelet on her wrist.

 So much so that there seemed to be thunder falling in my mind.

That bracelet is too familiar to him.

 It was clearly a token of love that he gave to his wife back then.

so…

 His wife also entered the ancient city.

 But I have gone back and forth so many times and walked past her but never saw her?

 “How could…”

Azhiya finally couldn't bear it any longer, and big tears burst out from his eyes.

Staggered forward and took the bracelet from Oona's hand. For a moment, she felt the pain of thousands of arrows piercing her heart.

 See this scene.

 The faces of the surrounding tribesmen were full of confusion.

Partridge Whistle and others were also confused and didn't know what happened.

Chen Yulou sighed secretly, a little unbearable.

Po Li and the Wutuo chief who came over also sighed.

 Especially the latter.

 I am both heartbroken and happy for him.

The three of them grew up together back then. Being able to see them come together, I felt that nothing could be better than this.

 But as my belly gradually grew bigger.

The matter cannot be concealed at all.

 The wizard of the previous generation was furious.

 He was young and had never been a clan leader, so he was completely helpless and could only watch the tragedy happen.

　Today…

 After so many years.

 This matter can finally come to an end.

That old guy Azhiya can also untie his knot.

“It's freezing outside, and Oona has been running around for a few days. If you have anything to do, let's go back first.” (End of this chapter)
