Chapter 2345: Old Man Ouyang He
"Senior, you'd better drink from me."
Qin Cheng's face turned a bit dark when he looked at the jug and wine cup, which seemed to have not been washed for thousands of years and was almost soaked with pulp.
It's not that I'm a germophobe, but your white jade wine cup is almost turning black, and I'm really afraid of being poisoned.
With a little effort, he immediately took out a wine bottle that Lan Xing had brought over, and put down two exquisite wine cups.
"I'm usually good at drinking alone, so this thing isn't very useful. It seems like it hasn't been washed in more than a thousand years." The old man chuckled, not embarrassed at all.
"On the other hand, your wine cup, although it is a bit fragile, is very delicate. I have never seen it in all these years."
"Senior likes it, so I'll give it to him." Qin Cheng said with a smile.
"Then I'll be disrespectful, but after accepting your gift, I have to bring out some good wine."
The old man took back the previous wine jar and took out another ugly-looking black jade wine jar.
As soon as I opened it, a strong aura suddenly filled the air along with the aroma of wine.
The entire pavilion seemed to be wrapped in spiritual mist.
The old man poured a drink for both of them.
"how?"
After both of them had a drink, the old man asked.
"It has a very strong taste. Although I can't tell whether it's good or bad, it makes my body feel much better. The fairy grass in this spirit wine must be very precious and has been carefully prepared." Qin Cheng said.
This wine reminded me of the bitter wine made by the bearded master Jiu Lao.
Although the taste is not enough, if he did not have this thing at that time, it would be difficult for him to recover his cultivation.
However, this wine, Qin Cheng secretly sipped it, was at least as effective as the ninth-grade elixir, and might even be stronger.
"Yes, if you can learn some skills, it's not in vain for me to take out this precious thing."
The old man praised: "This is not an ordinary spiritual wine, but the sacred wine of the Body Refining Sect. The formula passed down from ancient times is worth a sky-high price for each jar. It was because their sect discovered a genius before that they were willing to take this dust-laden thing.
Come out and prepare to deal with what he needs to overcome the calamity."
"But I have never drunk this thing, so I quietly stole a few jars out. They are very precious."
"If you drink it, you will be sharing the spoils with me. If I am hunted down by the Body Refining Sect in the future, you must help me." The old man patted Qin Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Qin Cheng was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.
You took out this sacred wine specifically to share the spoils with me?
The image of an old man and a master suddenly collapsed in Qin Cheng's eyes.
"Why, I'm scared." The old man said with a smile.
"I'm afraid it won't be enough, but since I've already drank it, let's take a couple more sips." Qin Cheng smiled freely and poured another glass directly.
"You're a nice guy, and he suits my temper."
The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking very happy.
The two of them drank up the jar of divine wine, one mouthful at a time.
Qin Cheng also felt very comfortable. Not only had his cultivation in the Tribulation Realm been completely consolidated, but there was also a faint sign that the seal of divine consciousness was being released.
Apparently, nourished by the spiritual energy in this divine wine, his lost consciousness recovered quickly.
I vaguely feel that I made the right choice, and drinking a few more sips will indeed be beneficial.
But immediately, Qin Cheng couldn't laugh anymore.
"Boy, there is another little thing I forgot to tell you. If you encounter a powerful person from the Body Refining Sect in the future, stay away." The old man said with a wine burp.
"After drinking this divine wine, a special aura will be left in the body. The more you drink, the stronger the aura will be. If a strong man from that sect senses it, I'm afraid he will beat you to death."
"Senior, did you forget or did you do it on purpose?" Qin Cheng couldn't laugh or cry.
"What's the difference? If I told you in advance, you wouldn't dare to drink it." The old man said with a smile.
"Drink. This kind of divine wine is hard to come by. You must drink it." Qin Cheng said.
"That's fine then."
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's get down to business. Let me introduce you first, Ouyang He, the descendant of this generation of the fourth disciple of the Array Demon." The old man sat up straight and said.
"Then how should I call you?" Qin Cheng asked.
According to Xiao Long and the others, they obtained the inheritance from the statue and did not seem to be the old man's apprentice.
But these two people didn't quite understand and didn't explain it clearly.
"What you have received is the inheritance of the fourth disciple of the Array Demon, not me, so I am regarded as acting as a master and accepting a disciple, not your elder."
"Then I should call you senior brother?" Qin Cheng said.
"That's right, Xiao Long and the others are all barking randomly. I will tell them to call you uncle from now on." Ouyang He said with a smile.
Ouyang He explained it, and Qin Cheng understood it.
The lineage of Array Demons not only has an eclectic way of finding successors, but also has strange rules.
The seniority of disciples is not based on the time of entry or the order of masters.
Instead, they are ranked according to the monks who have received the inheritance.
For example, they are the fourth disciple of the same lineage.
Since the fourth disciple, there has been no real successor, that is, a monk who can fuse the flawless life pattern within seven days.
Therefore, those who follow the fourth disciple's inheritance are considered disciples, but they are not the true disciples.
They are inherited and called relationships based on their seniority.
As for Qin Cheng, he received the inheritance from the fourth disciple, and he is the other party's true disciple for the next generation.
The old man introduced Qin Cheng into the gate wall and allowed him to inherit the inheritance from his fourth disciple. He was the senior brother who passed down the skills on behalf of his master.
The hierarchy of generations is a bit confusing, but it is difficult for the Array Demon inheritance to have a successor, and there is really no way around it.
After all, since ancient times, there have been only a dozen descendants under the four disciples of the Array Demon, which is too few in number.
As for Ouyang He and others, in the eyes of the Array Demon, they are not disciples of the Mantle.
If it can't even be integrated with the Flawless Life Pattern, what kind of true inheritance is it?
"Actually, whether you call me Senior Brother or even Ouyang He, I don't really care." Ouyang He said with a smile.
"After all, not every genius can approve of this method of teaching. Even if I have been trained for a hundred years, there are still some who will curse me when they leave."
"Senior brother, was he arrested like this back then?" Qin Cheng said.
"Of course, the nine disciples of the ancestor of the Array Demon are like this, so how can I be an exception?"
"Then why should I blame you?" Qin Cheng shook his head and said, "Facts have proved that you made the wrong choice."
"But I chose you. Some people think that if I chose someone else, he wouldn't have to suffer such an unreasonable disaster."
"Then is he willing to get rid of all the divine patterns he learned? If he is willing, then he can indeed hate you." Qin Cheng said.
"In short, I think the rules of the Array Demon lineage are really not good. Maybe I will change them in the future."
The seven-day test forces the monks to unleash their potential, and it does make sense to condense the life patterns.
But for people like Xiao Long and Zheng Yue, being imprisoned like this for a hundred years is not a wasted time, but it really makes people collapse easily.
"It's up to you. Now that you are the heir, the rules are up to you. By the way, the arrests will be left to you in the future." Ouyang He said nonchalantly.
"I always feel that it is against the law of heaven to arrest people just for good things."
Qin Cheng's mouth twitched.
You just said you wanted to change the rules, so you threw away the inheritance to yourself?
There are also laws against heaven.
