Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 46 If he goes to Penglai Cave, he knows that I have a name in the sky

In the dead of night, the dew gets deeper!
In the hall of the Yongpingfang mansion in the southern city of Chang'an, the lights were still shining, and twenty or thirty rangers, who were either powerful or agile, were sitting on the ground in the hall, drinking to their heart's content, and letting loose.

These people were fighting for wine in groups of three or five, or gathered six or seven people to gamble. The sound of guessing and shouting flew together, making the whole hall full of smoke, as if they had entered a gathering hall of some bandits. .

At the upper end of the hall, Gao Shugui was holding a bronze wine baron in his hand, with strange lights shining in his two huge eyes, sweeping back and forth on the rangers below, with a smile on his face. The look of thinking seems to be thinking about something, and it seems to be waiting for someone.

A few minutes later, there was a rustling sound from the outside of the hall, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, a thin man in his 20s, dressed in black, pushed the door open and walked in. .

"Brother, so-and-so is back..."

After seeing the man in black appear, Gao Shugui immediately put the wine bar in his hand on the table, then stood up from his seat, and greeted him with some excitement.

"Kurang, why is it so late?"

The person who came in was surnamed He, Xingjiu, and he was an old brand, or a veteran Chang'an ranger.

He is light and nimble, can climb walls and walk like an ape.And long before Gao Shugui entered Chang'an City, he had already followed the real big brother of Chang'an city rangers, that is, Chang'an hero Shi Wanbao.

And according to him, when Datang was attacking Daxing City, he followed Shi Wanbao to raid the city gate from inside the city at night, and made great contributions to the Tang army's capture of Daxing City.If he hadn't been free and undisciplined by nature, so he couldn't stand the military career, he would have joined Datang's army a long time ago, and he might be a captain now.

Of course, none of the other rangers, including Gao Shugui, believed the last sentence.

If you can be a captain in the army, who cares about being a ranger!
Although the captain may be bragging, He Jiu's strength is real. He is indeed agile, he can come and go like the wind, and he can go up and down the three-meter-high square wall without a rope.

Therefore, among these rangers in Nancheng, Gao Shugui also relied heavily on him.

"Jiulang, that little Taoist priest named Qingwei who asked you to investigate, did you find anything?"

Gao Shugui stepped forward to hold He Jiu's hand very affectionately, took him to sit next to his table, took a wine glass by himself, raised his wine cup, and poured a glass for the other party affectionately.

Before time-traveling, Kong Qing often saw those people in historical dramas holding three-legged wine cups at banquets, as if this thing was a cup, but he didn’t know until after time-traveling. Find……

In fact, this thing is not used for drinking at all, but for pouring out the wine in the jug and distributing it to each table, which is convenient for everyone to pour wine into the cup, just like a wine dispenser.

And the thing people drink from is the wine glass, that is, the kind of flat-bottomed wine glass!
Then why do you have to divide the wine with the jug at the banquet many times in one fell swoop when you have the wine pot and wine glass?

Because Jiujue's mouth is wide open, so using Jiujue to persuade the other party to see that there is no mechanism inside.In this way, you can show that you don't intend to harm the other party. Similarly, because everyone drinks the same wine, it can also express that I am very optimistic about you or that I think you are good, which can express closeness.

Just like Gao Shugui pouring wine for He Jiu now, it is a way to show that I care about your thoughts.

He Jiu didn't refuse, took Gao Shugui's full glass and drank it all in one gulp, then continued. "Brother did something wrong with today's matter. That little Taoist priest is not easy."

"is it?"

A gleam flashed in Gao Shugui's eyes, then he picked up the wine jue and served He Jiuman another glass, and asked in a casual tone. "I did this at the request of the great monks of the Zhuangyan Temple, but I always felt that something was not right after I finished it, so I troubled Jiulang to check it out for me."

"With all due respect, brother must have been tricked by those monks this time..."

He Jiu picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice.

"According to what my elder brother said, I found that Taoist priest Qingwei on the street in front of the Zhuangyan Temple, and found that there was a Kunlun slave next to him, and then I found that the Kunlun slave was very familiar. I believe that my elder brother should also know him..."

"I know?"

Gao Shugui narrowed his eyes and thought about it, then said with some uncertainty.

"Could it be that Moli who sells medicine in the east and west cities?"

Just when Gao Shugui squinted his eyes to think about the problem, he didn't notice that a milk cat was already holding a white bottle in its mouth, and it quietly slipped in through the crack of the door that was not closed after He Jiu just entered. , and put the uncorked bottle in the wall of the hall.

"It's this man!"

He Jiu nodded to Gao Shugui.

"Brother also knows that this person is very prestigious in the eastern and western cities, and he has a solid staff. He wanted to hear what they were talking about, but he almost spotted him just by getting closer."

"Oh!"

Gao Shugui nodded with a serious expression.

"But when someone gets close..."

He Jiu lowered his head and lowered his voice.

"But I found that Mo Li was very respectful to that little Taoist priest, so it can be seen that the little Taoist priest is by no means a person with no background..."

Behind him, a certain milk cat sneaked along the base of the wall again, and slipped out through the open door.

"and……"

Holding the wine glass, He Jiu looked at Gao Shugui and said seriously.

"It was only when I took a closer look at that little Taoist priest that I discovered that I had seen him before..."

"what?"

Seeing He Jiu's movements, Gao Shugui also sat upright and said seriously.

"Appreciate further details……"

Behind them, a certain milk cat slipped in along the gate with an uncorked green bottle in its mouth again, and quietly placed the bottle in the corner.

"Five years ago, that is, when Daye was 13 years old, XX was still following Brother Shi. On May 23, Brother Shi found XX and said that someone asked him to do a big thing and asked XX to follow him. I was busy, so I went..."

He Jiu was holding the wine glass, his eyes were lost in thought.

"I met this little Taoist priest that day...cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, He Jiu started to cough violently as if he had tuberculosis, and the wine glass in his hand was directly turned over on the table, and the cloudy liquid dripped down the table on the floor.

"Kuro, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Shugui looked at He Jiu who seemed to be suffering from pneumonia strangely, and asked with concern just now, but the next moment, he saw He Jiu in front of him suddenly burst into tears without warning.

Then, as if an infectious disease broke out, all the rangers in the hall, who were drinking and feasting, began to cough violently one by one.

boom!
The wine jue in Gao Shugui's hand suddenly stood up, and the wine jue in his hand fell directly to the ground.

"What's wrong, can anyone tell me what happened?"

While the startled and angry voice was still echoing in the hall, Gao Shugui saw He Jiu roll his eyes in front of him again, then stuck his head on the table and remained motionless.

Just when he turned his head to look at the others in surprise, he realized that the rangers in the hall had fallen one by one, crookedly, in their positions.

In less than a minute, it seemed that he was the only person who could move in the hall.

"what's going on?"

Just when Gao Shugui was in doubt, he suddenly heard a clear voice coming from the door of the hall.

"Pointing to Chang'an with a smile, red clouds and purple mist appeared in front of his eyes. Every time he went to Penglai Cave, there were cranes walking in the mountains. Sometimes he used jade toads to drive away ghosts, and at night he fried golden cauldrons and cooked Qiongying. If he went to Penglai Cave, Know that I have a name in heaven."

"Who……"

Gao Shugui turned his head suddenly, looked outside the hall, and shouted sharply.

"Who's pretending to be a ghost?"

boom!
After a soft sound, the door of the hall suddenly opened, revealing a floating figure in white clothes and an ancient bronze sword standing outside the door.

"Your Excellency, you are a cannibal yourself, and you are still saying that others are pretending to be ghosts..."

The figure in white clothes fluttered, stepped in, and smiled slightly at Gao Shugui.

"Is this a thief calling catch a thief?"
