Chapter 185: The Sages Are Dead, The Drinkers Leave Their Names, The Divine Beast Bai Ze(2/3)
At the dining table, Lin Xiaolin yawned and said lazily:
"I've prepared everything for you~ Many wine shops were closed, so I just knocked on the door and bought it."
"Thank you, Sister Xiaolin!" Luo He said sincerely.
"There's no need to thank you. After all, this is a necessary part of the mission." Lin Xiaolin held his chin in his hands and said a little depressed, "I just regret a little, accepting this commission from Wan Qing..."
Luo He smiled and said, "Let's eat first."
Lin Xiaolin glanced at the honey and red bean double-skinned milk on the table, absentmindedly scooped up a spoonful of the crystal-like milk jelly and put it into his mouth.
In an instant, Lin Xiaolin's eyes shone with light and he said excitedly:
"By the way, when are we going to Yuxian Peak? I can't wait!"
Luo He: "..."
Facts have proved that if people don’t eat breakfast, they will lose energy!
After breakfast, Lin Xiaolin was full of momentum and took the lead, leading Luo He to say goodbye to Master Lu.
After receiving the gift of [Iceberg Nectar], Luo He followed Lin Xiaolin and took the Wind God Machine Eagle.
Halfway through, Lin Xiaolin said casually:
"Yesterday, a beautiful sister asked me for your contact information, but I refused because Wan Qing was not in a good mood recently."
"Why is Wan Qing in a bad mood recently?" Luo He asked.
Lin Xiaolin stared at Luo He and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
Luo He asked strangely: "Why are you laughing?"
Lin Xiaolin did not answer, patted Luo He's shoulder hard, and laughed:
"Very good, you have a strong desire to survive. If you are the one, you will definitely be able to catch up with Master Li!"
Luo He later realized and had an epiphany.
It must be because I delayed the trip to the Snowy Mountains too late that Captain Li was in a bad mood.
There is no other way, the Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and Baize's whereabouts are difficult to trace.
This trip is expected to take a few more days.
However, Luo He is mentally prepared for a protracted war...
As the "successor of the Nong Emperor", I invite Bai Ze to come out!
Tuk-tuk-tuk——
The Fengshen Machine Eagle transformed into an airplane form and approached Yuxian Peak. Luo He and Lin Xiaolin were riding in the cockpit.
Yuxian Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist, and is faintly shrouded by a barrier. The Wind God Machine Eagle can only rest at the foot of the mountain.
Luo He looked up at the Yuxian Peak with misty clouds and mist, and said in a complicated tone:
"It seems we can only climb up on foot..."
"Don't panic, I estimate it will take three or four hours at most."
Lin Xiaolin paused, pointed to the sky, and said, "Did you see that?"
Following Lin Xiaolin's fingers, Luo He saw a blue bird dancing gracefully around Jade Fairy Peak, and said in surprise:
"Qing Feng Luan?"
"No, that's a blue bird. It's a pet animal that lives in the Kunlun Mountains. It's also a legendary messenger from the gods, representing unwavering love."
Lin Xiaolin said: "Li Wanqing's Green Phoenix Luan evolved from the Blue Bird. Her Blue Bird seems to have been left behind by her parents..."
Luo He thought of Qing Fengluan's daily performance and pondered:
"I do feel that Master Li's Qing Feng Luan is quite loyal..."
The two chatted while climbing up the mountain.
The mountains are deep and quiet, with clear springs and rare herbs growing there, just like a fairyland on earth.
Golden swallowtail butterflies, Penglai cranes, bluebirds and other pet animals were flying among them. When they saw the two people on the mountaineering road, they immediately flew away.
Increasingly, the two finally reached the top of the mountain.
Looking around, there is a sea of clouds all around, which is magnificent and magnificent. This place is like a paradise where gods live.
Near the pond, there is a cave, and a stone tablet stands beside the cave.
Luo He and Lin Xiaolin stepped forward to look at it and saw three words written on the stone tablet:
Cherish the empty bottle.
There are small vertical characters after the title, which is clearly a poem.
The content of this song "Cherishing the Empty Bottle" is similar to the song "About to Enter the Wine" in Luo He's memory, but there are subtle differences:
[Don’t you see, the water of the Yellow River is coming up from the sky...]
When I read the sentence "If you are happy in life, you must have all the joy, and don't let the golden bottle stand empty against the moon."
Luo He was in a trance, feeling that he had not traveled through time yet and was still reading the masterpieces of Shixian.
And when I read the sentence "All the sages have died in ancient times, only the drinkers leave their names."
Luo He's head buzzed, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
Yes, this world also has this masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation.
But the person who wrote this poem was not Li Bai, but a great poet in the parallel world, the era of the Empress. The title is not about drinking wine, but "Cherishing the Empty Bottle" written on the stone tablet.
"In ancient times, all the sages died, but only the drinkers left their names——"
Lin Xiaolin looked at the stone tablet, murmured a poem, his eyes revealed his thoughts, and said:
"If I guess correctly, this should be Bai Ze's confession."
Chef Luo's cultural quality is not high, but he instinctively feels the generosity and heroism in this poem.
At this moment, a trace of nervousness crept up in his heart, and goosebumps broke out on his body.
What's the meaning?
If this sentence represents Bai Ze...
All saints are dead.
Doesn’t it mean that all the holy beasts of Bai Ze’s contemporaries have fallen, and only Bai Ze remains today?
Drinkers leave their names.
Is this really Bai Ze, who has been here from the time of Emperor Wu to modern times, with the mythical beast on his head that has a lifespan of a thousand years!?
Click!
The sound of branches breaking could be heard behind me.
Luo He and Lin Xiaolin shuddered and turned around quickly!
However.
The two discovered that this was just a false alarm.
What appeared in front of them was a harmless little rabbit with red eyes and white ears.
"I was shocked." Luo He looked at Lin Xiaolin, "I thought it was Bai Ze."
Lin Xiaolin's expression was solemn... What kind of rabbit is this that can approach so silently that even I can't detect it?
At this time, the little white rabbit shrugged its ears and said:
"Why did you two come here?"
Its voice is like that of a little girl, as clear as a silver bell.
This rabbit can actually speak human language!
Luo He looked shocked and looked at each other with Lin Xiaolin, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Immediately, Luo He took the initiative and said:
"I am the descendant of Emperor Nong. My name is Luo He. I am here to invite Baize to come out of the mountain."
The little white rabbit looked as usual and said:
"Bai Ze is still sleeping in seclusion, please come back."
Sleeping in seclusion?
What a time to choose!
Luo He hesitated for a moment and said:
"If possible, please tell Bai Ze that the Snowy Mountains are poisoned by the miasma, and the common people are threatened by the frost dragon, and they need Bai Ze's help!"
The little white rabbit looked like he was thinking hard and said immediately:
To be continued...
