After a while, Lao Kong walked out with a copper pot in his hands, and poured some hot water into the copper furnace.

For a moment, the cold and lonely Zhong Tang also felt a little warm.

After that, Mu Qiuqiu and Lu Beiyou joined in as they placed all sorts of fruits and vegetables on the table and sliced a big plate of lamb.

When the ninth day saw this scene, they also could not help but get involved.

In the end, Lao Kong brought over two jars of wine and everyone sat down.

"Shopkeeper, there's only a jar of Bird Wine left in the tavern for you to drink. Little Lu and I will be drinking Yellow Wine."

Mu Qiuqiu rolled his eyes at Lao Kong, "Do as you wish."

Not long after they started cooking, Mu Qiuqiu got to know her well. The two girls started whispering to each other.

Lu Beiyou took a glance, and could not help but shake his head. Mu Qiuqiu had not had any friends for too long, and the arrival of the ninth day might not be a bad thing, but seeing that the two of them were talking while pointing at him, it was obvious that the topic was related to him.

However, Lao Kong just focused on eating the meat. After that, he took out a small jar of yellow wine from the hot water and poured a cup for both himself and Lu Beiyou.

Lu Beiyou and Lao Kong touched each other, gently sipping and exhaling the smell of alcohol, his body feeling a little warmer.

"Do you know why the world likes to drink?"

Lao Kong drank the yellow wine in his hand in one gulp, and then looked at Lu Beiyou and asked.

"Oh, tell me about it?"

Hearing Lao Kong's words, Lu Beiyou became curious, although he liked to drink, but he did not know how to do it.

Lao Kong shook the empty wine cup in his hand and said: "Actually, drinking wine is just a mood. But wine seems to me more like a key. "

Key? Hearing Lao Kong's words, Lu Beiyou was also a little confused.

Lao Kong took out a piece of fat sheep from the copper furnace and stuffed it into his mouth. He waved his chopsticks and chewed on it as he said, "Look, a scholar is only able to write in high spirits after he is drunk. Only when one was drunk could one muster up the courage and ambition to walk the mortal world with a sword. And this wine is the key to the liberation of the human nature. "

Lu Beiyou nodded, that was indeed the case.

When he had been in the village, he had been drinking wine to strengthen his courage. The reason why he brought the alcohol into Qingshan City was for peace of mind.

"So, everyone loves wine, so our little tavern will not fall."

Lu Beiyou was startled by his words, and started laughing out loud.

What a great tavern! Yes, this tavern had all his memories up till now, how could it be ruined here?

"Wherever there is alcohol, there is scholar and chivalrous person. Wherever there is wine, there is tavern. Where there is tavern, there is martial arts."

Lao Kong nodded his head, "But once there is a conflict in the martial arts world, so what if you are a person of Half-step Immortal? "In the end, there's always someone better than you."

Hearing that, Lu Beiyou put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Lao Kong, why did you suddenly say all this?"

Lao Kong poured another cup of yellow wine for himself and gulped it down, "Actually I have something I want to tell you guys today, and it just so happens that this wine is a good opportunity for you to speak up."

Hearing Lao Kong's words, Mu Qiuqiu and the Ninth Year also stopped.

"I want to go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty hall and take a look, then I won't be able to stay in the tavern and collect my debts."

The tavern became silent for a moment, only the sound of boiling water bubbling could be heard.

"In my entire life, I have never left the area of fifty kilometers from the Qingshan City. This time, I want to go out and take a look, and see if the scenery fifty kilometers away from Qingshan City is really that great. "

Mu Qiuqiu nodded, "You should have seen something."

Lao Kong was quiet for a moment, but still nodded his head. Mu Qiuqiu did not continue asking, and only took out a strand of cyan colored incense and threw it at Lao Kong.

"You've seen through Karma more than I have. Since you've seen it, I won't say anything else." "Just be careful along the way."

Lao Kong took it, and the strand of joss stick landed on Lao Kong's body and disappeared.

"Thank you, Manager."

"There's no need to thank me. You've been here for quite some time, and I've already treated you as a part of this tavern. If you don't make a name for yourself by going to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, then you don't need to come back."

"Alright!"

Lu Beiyou did not speak, he poured Lao Kong another cup of yellow wine and the two of them started drinking.

It was night. There was an extra trace of heat and a more desolate feeling of parting.

Lu Beiyou did not activate the Spirit Qi, and after a while he got drunk, he was supported by Mu Qiuqiu to the backyard.

Lao Kong sat alone at the table, the chopsticks in his hand stirring the hot soup in the copper cauldron, the hot air covering his face, his expression could not be seen.

At this time, a lady dressed in red had unknowingly arrived beside Lao Kong.

"Are you ready?"

Lao Kong put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Do you know what the little brat said at the end?"

The woman did not speak. Lao Kong said with melancholy: "He asked me, but Lao Kong, you still have not told me your name."

"The monarch said that if you don't want to go, we won't force you."

Lao Kong stood up, stretched a little and swept away his fatigue, "Go, why not? Since the shopkeeper has asked me to stand out, how can I refuse? "

The woman nodded. "Didn't you tell them?"

"Let's not talk about it anymore. If you say too much, you won't want to leave."

With that, Lao Kong took the lead and walked out of the tavern, and the woman followed along.

Lao Kong pushed open the door. Outside, countless soldiers were already waiting, the metallic blood aura only second to the black armor that had arrived today.

Lao Kong did not turn around to look at him. "What is your name?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself in doubt. "Are you asking me?"

"Right."

"My name is Xiao Yu."

"Xiao Yu'er, do you believe in karma?"

Xiao Yu was confused. Xiao Yu'er? When did I become so familiar with him? Causality?

Lao Kong turned his head and saw the puzzled look on Xiao Yu's face and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's good that you don't know. It's good that you don't know."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards a large horse, and everyone parted to make a path.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he kicked his horse's belly and started walking in the direction of Eastern Zhou. Although Xiao Yu was a little confused, he did not stay any longer and followed suit.

After all, the order he received was to safely bring the old man back to the Eastern Zhou Empire.

In his opinion, this old man was ordinary, even slightly dispirited, and he didn't seem to have any ability.

However, for some reason, when he mentioned the two words' cause and effect ', his heart couldn't help but ache. It was truly an unspeakably strange sensation.

The group of people majestically walked further and further away, leaving behind only the sizzling hot soup of the copper cauldron in the middle hall.
