Chapter 405 Huagu's Wine Review
"Fake wine?" Hearing Hua Guzi's judgment, Ning Zhuo raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"
Hua Guzi patted his chest hard, and trembled to assure: "Sir, I am a spiritual chef. Although I am not good at making wine, spiritual wine is also in this category."
"This wine recipe is indeed contradictory, it can't be wrong."
After a pause, Hua Guzi continued: "I just tasted it and tasted that there are two main ingredients in this wine. One is Huangquan water, and the other is Yeyoucao."
"Huangquan water can condense the soul and solidify the spirit, and is often used in alchemy and talismans, but As a brewing material, it is too cold and will directly damage the drinker's yang energy. "
"Night-wandering grass grows in dark and humid places. It can be used to enhance the spirit and soul power, but it is gloomy. Therefore, it is not suitable for cultivators in the world of the living, but suitable for ghost cultivators in the underworld. Therefore, it is often used as a resting place for night-wandering gods."
"Night-wandering grass and the water of the underworld are both cold and yin. The power of the two is extremely similar. They cannot produce complementary effects. Instead, they are likely to cause a single nature of the wine and bring cold and yin diseases to the cultivators."
After talking about the main ingredients, Hua Guzi talked about the auxiliary ingredients.
She took another sip of the Yousi Ming Brew and pinched her fingers repeatedly.
After a while, she looked at Ning Zhuo and asked, "Mr. Ning Zhuo, I think the auxiliary ingredients of this wine should be moon dew, dark jade and mermaid tears, right?"
Ning Zhuo shook his head slightly, and did not hide it at this time: "As far as I know, the first two are correct, but the latter is not mermaid tears, but nine-tailed fox tears."
Hua Guzi hummed, his expression solemn: "Although moon dew has the effect of moisturizing the mind, it is cold in nature and is often used to neutralize other hotter ingredients in spiritual food and elixirs. But in the Yousi Ming Brew, it purely promotes the coldness. Not only does it not have a harmonizing effect, but it aggravates the overall coldness of the wine, making the wine Extreme. "
"The Hell Jade is a specialty of the underworld, often used in the manufacture of magic tools. Its properties are stable and yin, and it is good at protecting the soul and calming the spirit. But as an auxiliary material, it is too heavy and sluggish, and the spiritual flow of the wine will be blocked, and it cannot maintain a light taste. The absorption capacity of the Hell Jade is very strong, and it is easy to absorb other spiritualities in the wine, causing the wine to be dull and lose its due activity and layering. "
"The last item is the Nine-tailed Fox Tears. This kind of tears is relatively rare and precious, and has the effect of clearing distracting thoughts and purifying the soul, but it is emotionally driven, often fluctuating greatly and difficult to control. Compared with the aforementioned Yin and cold materials, the Nine-tailed Fox Tears are very strong. Although the fox tears have a warm meaning, they cannot harmonize these overly cold main and auxiliary ingredients. "
"Because the amount used is too small. I just didn't taste it! In this case, the nine-tailed fox tears are overly infected by the coldness of the wine, making it impossible to exert its own efficacy and being swallowed by the wine. "
After Hua Guzi finished speaking, he finally said: "So, in the end, the main ingredients in this wine recipe are too similar in nature, which weakens the changes and depth of the wine, causing the wine to become rigid. "
"The moon dew and dark jade in the auxiliary ingredients not only fail to harmonize the main ingredients, but also aggravate the coldness and dullness of the wine. "
"The only hope The Nine-tailed Fox Tears, too little, cannot harmonize the negative. And because of its emotional fluctuations and resonance, it is incompatible with the cold body of wine, but it is easy to cause a huge contrast in emotions. If the drinker is in an unstable mood, he may fall into the shock of the soul, which indirectly leads to extreme changes in emotions and even out of control. "
Hua Guzi pondered: "If it were me, I would remove some main and auxiliary materials and use warm and positive materials to harmonize. "
"For example, the scorching sun fruit, red flame ganoderma, purple sun lotus seeds, and if you are more bold, you can even choose Phoenix Gold Velvet. "
Hua Guzi's attitude towards Ning Zhuo is different from that of ordinary people.
This explanation is completely heartfelt and without any falsehood.
Ning Zhuo pondered for a moment and asked her: "Then can this wine make people's thoughts spread, reach the underworld, and feel the wisdom of the predecessors and get guidance from the dark?"
Hua Guzi stared and smiled: "How is it possible? Has the young master been deceived? ! "
Ning Zhuo fell into deep thought again.
He tasted the wine again, and the taste was exactly the same as before.
Linghu Jiu deceived him?
Based on his understanding of Linghu Jiu's character, this didn't make sense at all.
Linghu Jiu gave him fake wine? If he didn't want to give it, there was no need to give the last jar of wine. Wouldn't it be better to just say that he had finished drinking it?
Why bother!
Seeing that Ning Zhuo had not finished speaking, Hua Guzi frowned and thought. In his heart, he also wanted to share Ning Zhuo's burden, so he took the initiative to suggest: "If you want to communicate with the netherworld and get guidance from the predecessors, there are actually many ways."
"The most orthodox and safest way is to hold a grand ceremony to worship the ancestors."
"Because of blood ties, the ghosts in the underworld will not easily attack us. They will benefit from the grand ceremony, maintain their sanity, and restore their humanity."
"In fact... the separation of yin and yang is the natural pattern of heaven and earth, and it makes sense."
"The coldness of things in the underworld is so deep that it can even distort temperament, filled with hatred and resentment, and other bad emotions, so that they are jealous, eager, and want to destroy things in the world of the living."
"For cultivators like us in the world of the living, we should not have too much contact."
"Otherwise, it is easy to cause many troubles."
Hua Guzi was worried about Ning Zhuo and expressed his sincere concern.
Ning Zhuo did not listen carefully, but was thinking about this matter.
As he investigated and Hua Guzi tasted Yousi Mingniang, the whole thing became more complicated.
"What is the truth?"
"Why do I feel weird?"
"Is Hua Guzi really wrong? She and Linghu Jiu are completely opposites..."
"No, or are they both right?"
Ning Zhuo was a little distracted thinking about this.
Hua Guzi stood aside, looking at Ning Zhuo's face carefully, and secretly excited in her heart: "Sure enough! Master Ning Zhuo's frowning and thinking look is so elegant!"
"I really want to hold his head in my arms and rub it well." Hua Guzi's emotion was so intense that Ning Zhuo quickly noticed it through the thread of life.
Ning Zhuo:......
He quickly asked Hua Guzi to leave.
"I was driven away, I was driven away by Mr. Ning Zhuo!" After Hua Guzi walked out of Ning Zhuo's cave, her eyes were blurred with anger and her face was flushed.
Ning Zhuo returned to the cave, but no longer thought about it.
"There is a lot of fog at the moment. It is better to wait for the results of further discussions between our ancestors before making a judgment."
The spiritual plant cabin in Wandering Dragon is already empty.
Lingyin Liu has been taken away by Ning Jiufan.
This also made Ning Zhuo feel empty and uncomfortable.
Soon after, Ning Jiaofan found him again and informed Ning Zhuo of the progress of further negotiations.
The news is mixed.
The good news is that after Lin Bufan personally investigated, Lingyinliu has been taken over and said that it can be treated properly, but it will take a lot of effort——
It takes a lot of time and a lot of money to heal slowly.
Many of the assets here involve Nascent Soul level resources. So much so that Ning Jingfan used his Earthly Fire as a deposit to pay Lin Bufan on the spot.
The bad news is that Lin Bufan directly stated that the wine recipe of You Si Ming Brewing is non-negotiable and not for sale, and is not allowed to be sold outside.
After Ning Jiufan communicated with Ning Zhuo, he found that Ning Zhuo's drinking of You Si Ming Brew had no effect, so he advised: "The current negotiation situation is serious, we might as well put You Si Ming Brew aside first, and come to Lingyin Liu first."
"Head Lin Bufan seems to want to take advantage of Lingyin Liu. He also wants to win a few usage quotas and give cultivation seeds to the sect. Of course, this is all based on the premise of curing Lingyin Liu. ”
"I think this is totally fine! Of course, it depends on what you mean. After all, Lingyin Willow was given to you by the God of Wuyin Mountain."
Ning Jiufan suggested.
What he means is very simple, with two main points.
First, agreeing to such cooperation can reduce the great pressure on the Ning people in terms of payment.
Second, handing over several usage quotas to Wanyaomen can also extend and deepen the cooperation between the two parties, making the relationship between the two parties stronger, tougher and more lasting.
Ning Zhuo nodded, agreeing with Ning Yifan's opinion and immediately adopted it.
At the same time, he also informed Ning Yifan of Huaguzi's comments.
At this time, Ning Yifan felt confused and weird.
After the Ning family's ancestors and grandsons speculated among themselves, there was no progress.
"Thoughts have become trivial. It's useless to think too much. It's better to focus on the key points. What do you think?" Ning Jingfan finally said.
Ning Zhuo sighed and nodded helplessly.
He pretended to agree, but in fact he couldn't bear it in his heart.
This strange feeling became more and more serious, and gradually an intuition became stronger - You Si Ming Brewing was a flaw, which he accidentally discovered. The truth buried inside may be very shocking!
That night, Ning Zhuo tossed and turned and had difficulty falling asleep.
In the early morning, he solemnly told Sun Lingtong: "Boss, there is a very important letter that needs you to deliver in person!"
He asked Sun Lingtong to quietly control the Ten Thousand Miles Wandering Dragon, first stay away from the Wanyao Sect, deliberately get rid of the Wanyao Sect's influence, and then send the letter to the capital through the inn in Nandou Kingdom.
That's right, this letter was still given to Zhu Xuanji.
It can be imagined that Zhu Xuanji must have been quite surprised when he received this letter. He didn't expect that Ning Zhuo would send him a second letter so soon.
But in fact, even Ning Zhuo himself had never thought of writing another letter to Zhu Xuanji so soon.
When Sun Lingtong secretly controlled the Wanli Wandering Dragon and came back again, after Ning Zhuo confirmed it, he brought Guojiao Acacia Wine and went to visit Wanyao Cave.
"Brother Linghu, I'm here again!" Ning Zhuo was carrying the wine jar with great interest.
Linghu Jiu also laughed loudly: "Please come quickly, please come quickly."
"Good brother, what good wine did you bring this time?"
Linghu Jiu's nose twitched, but he couldn't smell the aroma of wine. This is all because the jar of wine that Zhu Xuanji took out from the royal family's treasury was made with excellent methods and was made very rigorously and precisely. Not even a trace of alcoholic odor could escape, and it was firmly locked in the jar.
Ning Zhuo was not polite. After entering the cave, he sat down directly and placed the wine jar on the stone table.
He patted the wine jar lightly: "Brother Linghu, please let me know for a moment. What kind of wine is this? We'll know after we open the jar later, right?"
"Where's the punch bowl?"
