Chapter 288: The great country of Gyeonggi and the wine swallowing the boy (page 12)

[You fly with your sword in the air and rush to the 'Gyeonggi River Mountain' located to the west of Kyoto...]

【…】

[Flying over the mountains, you finally reach your destination. 】

[This place is not far from Kyoto. Surrounded by mountains, there is a particularly majestic and tall mountain. 】

['Gyeonggi Daejiang Mountain' towers into the clouds, and the sea of ​​clouds flowing in the sky can only reach halfway up the mountain. 】

[There is a small village at the foot of the mountain, and people can be vaguely seen. 】

[You land on the ground and take out the 'Demon Hunting Compass Instrument' at the foot of the mountain. 】

[The compass pointer kept spinning and did not stop for a long time. 】

[Perhaps it is because of the majestic mountains and rivers of the 'Gyeonggi Dajiangshan', the search range of the 'Monster-hunting Compass Dharma Instrument' can only cover a small part of the mountains. 】

[Or maybe there are no monsters with strong bloodline near the 'Gyeonggi Daejiang Mountain', so the 'Monster Seeking Compass Ritual' cannot point to it. 】

[Are you going to climb the mountain and continue searching directly, or go to a nearby village first to inquire about the situation? 】

Lin Xun thought for a while and chose the latter.

[You step closer to the small village at the foot of the mountain...]

[The village is very small, probably only about a hundred households. You can see the whole village at a glance. 】

[In the center of the village, there are several farmers selling melons and fruits. What is surprising is that there are seven or eight wine houses of various sizes here. 】

[You will understand the reason once you inquire a little bit...]

[It is said that 'grain is the flesh of wine, and water is the blood of wine'. There is an excellent mountain spring on the 'Dajiang Mountain in Gyeonggi Province'. The spring water is clear, sweet, smooth and refreshing. 】

【Choose this water source to make wine, the wine pulp is clear and transparent, sweet and delicious when you drink it, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth. 】

[Therefore, although the village is small, it has seven or eight wine houses, large and small. From time to time, prominent families from Kyoto come here to buy fine wine. 】

[You randomly find a wine shop and go up to ask about the legendary deeds of the 'handsome boy who buys wine'. 】

[The owner of the wine shop is a middle-aged woman who still retains her charm. When she heard you inquire about this matter, her eyes lit up and she told you endlessly, ignoring all the guests who came to buy wine. 】

[More than ten years ago, there was only one sake house in the village named "Tsukada Sake House". The owner of the sake house was a family that had been brewing wine for generations. The brewing skills passed down were extremely exquisite, and the name of the "Tsukada Daiginjo" brewed spread throughout Sakurazaki. 】

[At that time, there was an endless stream of people entering the village, including not only guests from Kyoto, but also guests from as far away as Ukioka Castle, who were all known to come here to buy wine. 】

[People in the village saw that the business of the wine house was booming, so they imitated it and opened a wine house to make their own wine. But with Tsukada Daiginjo in front of them, how could guests from afar buy low-quality farmhouse wine? 】

[Therefore, the rest of the pubs closed down not long after they were opened, leaving only the "Tsukada pub". 】

[The owner of the wine shop also made a lot of money from this, and I heard that he even bought several houses in Kyoto... If there are no accidents, 'Tsukada Daiginjo' will be passed down forever. 】

[One day, a young boy went into the village alone and came to the Tsukada Winery to buy wine. 】

[The village is not big, with only about a hundred households in total. When the owner of the wine shop saw the boy, he thought he was an outsider. 】

[The boy dropped a small piece of gold when he entered the door, claiming that he wanted to buy the best "Tsukada Daiginjo". 】

[The owner of the wine shop saw that the boy had a very handsome face, but his hair was unkempt and his clothes were ragged. He didn't look like the son of the noble guests who bought wine. Instead, he looked like a descendant of a prodigal. The gold in his hand was stolen from some wealthy family. . 】

[The owner of the wine shop did not want to get into trouble, nor did he want to sell wine to a young child, so he did not accept the gold. He just joked that the boy was kind-hearted and was very close to his family, so he gave him a bottle of wine for free. 】

[The boy accepted the 'wine' and left happily...]

[But the boy didn't know that what was contained in the bottle was not wine, but sweet and delicious mountain spring water. 】

[On the second day, Tsukada Winery rarely opened its doors to welcome customers, nor did it put up a sign saying "Closed for one day." 】

[It was like this on the second day, and it was like this on the third and fourth days. Finally, someone noticed something was wrong and broke open the door of the wine house and broke in. 】

[There is no one in the wine house. There is only a small piece of gold on the counter. The wine neatly displayed on the cabinet is missing a jar. 】

[People searched for a long time before finding the owner of the wine house among the many water tanks filled with mountain springs in the backyard. 】

[Thirteen people in the wine house all drowned in the clear mountain spring water in the water tank...]

[When the middle-aged woman said this, she patted her chest with lingering fear and told you that people said that the handsome boy was not a human being, but the famous "Shuten Boy" in the "Evil Remnant". 】

[This disaster happened because the store used water instead of wine, which made the "Shuten Boy" furious...]

[The incident reached Kyoto, and the general sent elite troops to search the area around the 'Gyeonggi Daejiang Mountain' for several days, but in the end no trace of the 'Shuten Boy' was found. 】

[Later, when the villagers opened a wine shop, they no longer dared to use water instead of wine... However, the villagers never saw that handsome and inhuman wine-buying boy again. 】

[You spend a thousand souls to buy a bottle of wine from the woman. 】

【You got 'Daiginjo Sake' (waste product)! 】

['Daiginjo Sake' (waste product): A bottle of low-quality sake that has not been brewed for a long time. Although the spring water and raw materials for brewing are excellent, the brewing technique is very poor, making the quality of the sake unpalatable. 】

[You continue to inquire about the remaining wine houses, and the information you get is similar. Since the massacre of the Tsukada Wine House, the villagers have never seen the handsome boy again. 】

【…】

"Could it be that 'Shuten Doji' ran away after killing someone?"

Lin Xun frowned.

Although he only has one 'Teeth of Disaster' and can only conquer one top-level monster, no matter which one he conquers, another monster can also join in the decisive battle with the general as a powerful boost.

There is already one missing 'Big Tengu', and Lin Xun doesn't want to lose another 'Shuten Doji'.

If you can add more weight to the scale of victory, you must try your best and not slack off.

[You continue to ask the villagers, and finally get some different information from a farmer selling rice...]

[The farmer accepts the thousand points of spirituality you gave him and quietly tells you that he, like the villagers, has never seen the legendary wine-buying boy...]

[However, there is a herb gatherer in the mountains who is very handsome. The strange thing is that this herb gatherer eats an astonishingly large amount of rice. Every six months he goes into the mountains to buy a lot of rice from him. 】

[The amount of rice is enough to feed a family of eight for three to five years, which is far beyond what a herb collector can finish in the short time he goes into the mountains. 】

[What’s even more strange is that the herb pickers only buy rice, and don’t want any other vegetables or fruits, even if they are given away by farmers for free...]

[You quickly ask the farmer when was the last time you saw an herb picker. 】

[The farmer thinks back for a moment and tells you that the last time he saw the herb collector was a month ago. The herb collector loaded most of the rice he bought from him into the truck, and then went into the mountains to collect herbs...]

At this moment, Lin Xun had already determined that the medicine collector was the 'Shutun Boy'!
