”The people from the imperial court will come back sooner or later. We have to prepare ahead of time. It's time to change the formation outside.” Elder Zuo's worried voice reached Zuo Yiyun's ears.
While Shui Qinan was idly strolling inside the Zuo, he coincidentally met Elder Qian who was carrying the Peach Blossom Wine.
”Heh, the little girl just came back from elder Zuo's place.” Elder Qian was also a generous person, he had completely forgotten about the feeling of fear Shui Qinan had brought him before.
”Yes.” Shui Qinan said indifferently, her gaze landing on the Peach Blossom Wine in Elder Qian's arms.
Perhaps because he felt Shui Qinan's gaze, the Elder Qian ingratiatingly pushed the Peach Blossom Wine forward and said: ”This is brewed by the old man at the village entrance, it's the most authentic. Do you want to try it?”
Shui Qinan unceremoniously took away the Peach Blossom Mother from Elder Qian's hands, walked forward two steps, then stopped and threw a jade bottle towards Elder Qian before continuing on his way.
Elder Qian took the jade bottle and shook his head. This little girl didn't even say thank you, it was the most similar to the Peach Blossom Wine from before. Elder Qian opened the jade bottle helplessly and a sweet fragrance wafted out. Elder Qian went closer to the jade bottle and took a careful sniff before his face greatly changed.
Elder Qian looked at Shui Qinan's disappearing back figure, his eyes suddenly filled with anger.
As for Shui Qinan, she didn't want this Peach Blossom Wine at first, but she kept scratching her in its sleeves, urging her to snatch it away. Before Shui Qinan could think of a good reason, the Elder Qian had already pushed him in front of her.
Xuan Wu crawled out from Shui Qinan's sleeves and happily laid on the Peach Blossom Wine bottle.
”Give me a reason why you want this Peach Blossom Wine.” Shui Qinan's face turned gloomy, this Xuan Wu had almost lost control of herself and rushed out to steal the Peach Blossom Wine. As one of the Four Great Spirits, an ancient Divine Beast, it actually tried to steal the Peach Blossom Wine of the other party.
”Yiyayiyayayayiya.” Xuan Wu hugged the bottle of Peach Blossom Wine with her tiny paws, looking satisfied.
These few days, Shui Qinan could already understand every word Xuan Wu said, it was just that after she finished listening to him, her expression became even more gloomy. The little thing said, It's a treasure, but it's still missing something.
Isn't this what a treasure Xuan Wu was like?
”Yiyayiyayayayiya.” Seeing that her master was unhappy, Xuan Wu explained in a hurry. This Peach Blossom Wine could purify the impure Qi in one's body and increase one's spirit energy. That was why it was called the Nine Peach Blossom Families. When the nine families didn't change their Zuo hundreds of years ago, every family would brew these peach blossoms, but after changing their Zuo, only a small portion of them knew about it.
”You recovered your memory?” Shui Qinan focused on Xuan Wu.
”It has recovered memories from ten thousand years ago.” Zhu Er just happened to hear this question from outside. Zhu Er was very depressed, what use did you have in restoring the memories from ten thousand years ago? What she and Xuan Wu needed were memories that were within this ten thousand years!
”Yiyayiya!” Xuan Wu and Zhu Er started to bicker, but Xuan Wu's body was currently too small, it had no effect on Zhu Er at all. Zhu Er snorted, dragging Xuan Wu's tail. The pitiful Small Black Turtle hung Zhu Er upside down in the air.
Shui Qinan pretended not to see Zhu Er and Xuan Wu's fight, and she started to carefully study the Peach Blossom Wine in front of her. What exactly had Zuo's ancestor from thousands of years ago added into this Peach Blossom Wine, and what wasn't there in the Zuo thousands of years later to brew the same flavor as back then?
”Master, I heard from the green dragon that the ancestors of Zuo, the nine families, once secluded themselves in a place called that place.” Master, I heard the green dragon say that the nine families once reigned in a place called that place, Zhu Er recalled, she seemed to have went to nine other places to try the lake, but she felt that the taste was ordinary.
”Water for making peach blossoms.” Shui Qinan looked at Xuan Wu as she spoke, and the Small Black Turtle took two steps back vigilantly. Every time its master looked at it like this, it would always have nothing good to do!
