Feast of Rebirth

Bai Jiu finally vomited out all the iron stalks in his stomach, it felt like he died once.

It's a shame that Hu Yan is still laughing, shaking all over from laughing.

Yun Congfeng fell asleep on the counter.Awakened by the laughter, he raised his head sleepily: "What's wrong?"

"Someone came to argue with you!" Hu Yan still couldn't help laughing.

He looked at Bai Jiu, stared at it for a while, with a dazed expression on his face, and after a while he stood up and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Bai Jiu, nice to meet you. You came to discuss with me?"

Bai Jiu got up and went to pat the clothes. She said reservedly and without demeanor: "Last time, you and I had a small discussion, and there was no winner or loser. Today I came to visit specially, and I will definitely argue with you."

"Oh." Yun Congfeng nodded, sneezed uncontrollably, and said, "Then what is the topic of the debate? How long will you be arguing?"

Bai Jiu thought for a while: "The topic of the debate... How about debating whether the world is ruthless?"

The debate on whether heaven and earth are ruthless is a never-ending debate in Confucian circles.Whether you are affectionate or ruthless, you can always fight for a trick. Whether you can win the argument will test the opponent's knowledge level and debating ability.

Yun Congfeng had debated this question many times on Baopu Mountain, and finally, his senior brother was annoyed by his argument and went to Shanren to ask. Unexpectedly, Shanren gave a very positive answer: There is love in heaven and earth.

And very affectionate, but most of the time he is too lazy to let things go.

As for the reason, the Shanren didn't say it, but since the Shanren said it, the theory of war about the merciless nature of heaven and earth on Baopu Mountain has come to an end.

So Yun Congfeng didn't want to argue about this, and got annoyed: "Change it."

Here, Hu Yan returned to his original form, the fan in his hand was still there, and he clapped his hands: "Will Emperor Bian go to war with Baopu Mountain?"

Bai Jiu looked at Hu Yan in surprise: "This is definitely impossible. The Baopu Immortal Gate has stood for a thousand years. In comparison, Ye Chao is too young."

Yun Congfeng's interest was suddenly aroused: "This is interesting, Mr. Bai, let's argue about this. I am the emperor of the Ye Dynasty and I will definitely try to attack Baopu Mountain."

Bai Jiu thought for a while: "Okay. But before the debate, you should have three quarters of an hour to think."

Yun Congfeng nodded: "Yes." He got up and walked out of the counter, sat down in front of the dining table, Bai Jiu took a seat opposite, and asked Hu Yan, "Where is Qingyin?"

Hu Yan leaned against the wall lazily: "Okay, just sleep for two hours." After saying that, all the dazzling banquets on the table disappeared, and he borrowed an incense burner from the earth temple opposite and lit it. A medium incense burns slowly on the table, and the green smoke rises straight up.

Bai Jiu sat for a while, then said, "Miss Yan?"

Hu Yan waved his fan lazily: "Who are you talking about?"

"Shopkeeper Hu, can you give me a pot of water?" Bai Jiu said helplessly, "It's just cool and white, don't use iron stems to decay the lotus."

Hu Yan chuckled, and tapped his fan on the wall: "Chi Nu, bring water to Mr. Bai."

After a while, a boy in red clothes came out of the back kitchen.It was Chi Nu who was leading a porcelain pot of water.Bai Jiu saw at a glance that there was a wooden mask on top of his head, and a rope was still tied to his chin.

Chi Nu poured water and looked at him, his pupils were indifferent and dangerous: What are you looking at?

Bai Jiu admitted it, silently lowered her head and took a sip, then immediately sprayed it out, extinguished the incense, and sprayed Yun Congfeng all over her body.

"Hahahahaha!" Hu Yan laughed again, Yun Congfeng flicked his slightly wet front clothes, puzzled, "What's wrong, Mr. Bai?"

Bai Jiu pinched her throat and wanted to vomit again: "Iron stem... Shaohe! Cough cough cough cough! Vomit!"

Yun Congfeng looked at Hu Yan, and Hu Yan finally stopped laughing: "It's okay, I just played him a bit."

Yun Congfeng was helpless: "There is no reason, why are you playing him?"

"Oh, who asked him to come to pick things up? Mr. Bai Jiubai has a great reputation, and his iron mouth can kill the living and the dead."

Bai Jiu was angry and annoyed: "I've never been mad at anyone, it's all rumors, rumors!"

"I know, I know, Chi Nu, give him water."

This time it was finally normal water, Bai Jiu drank it to moisten his throat, the fragrance rekindled, shortening inch by inch.

Hu Yan sat down, holding a small knife in his hand, and carved wood according to Yun Congfeng's profile.

The topic he raised was not on a whim, but because this topic was something he had experienced in his previous life, and this year's topic for the Waking of Insects Wenhui.

He also chose that the emperor of the Ye Dynasty would definitely attack Baopu.

I don't know if Baopu fought or not, but Yaozu definitely did.Hu Yan reckoned that the emperor wouldn't be so crazy in the future, and he would go to fight Baopu before the Yaozu finished fighting. If he was so crazy, he wouldn't want the throne.

But looking at Yun Congfeng's attitude, maybe Baopu has never been careless because he is number one in the world?Always be on guard against the covetous eyes of the mortal emperors.

The time for a stick of incense has passed, Yun Congfeng spoke first: "Come here."

Bai Jiu said: "Taking history as a mirror, the Donglu has a history of thousands of years and hundreds of dynasties. There are ten dynasties that attacked Baopu. After these ten dynasties, all of them were killed by Baopu. To provoke Baopu, the current emperors were later abolished by the ministers and established separately. It was the same in the previous dynasty, and it is the same in the current dynasty.”

Yun Congfeng said: "Dynasty in the Eastern Continent has changed, and the emperors of each dynasty have thought about attacking Baopu, but [-]% of the emperors have not actually done it. How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch, dominating the world is everyone The emperor's dream, but with Baopu Mountain, it is impossible to talk about truly dominating the world."

At the beginning of the debate, both sides were polite and lukewarm.As they got better and better, the two spoke faster and faster, and they could speak hundreds of words without panting. After listening hard for a while, Hu Yan felt dizzy and couldn't keep up with their thinking rhythm.

Qing Yin, who was lying in the back kitchen, woke up leisurely, turned over slightly, and fell down with the stool, grinning in pain.

Where is this?Qingyin raised her head in a daze, and saw a huge pig's head hooked on a hook, her eyes were half-closed.Seeing the chills in his heart, he quickly turned his face away to get up, staggered out of the back kitchen, and heard chattering voices at an astonishingly fast speed.

Hu Yan was concentrating on carving wood, when he heard the sound, he immediately put away the wood and raised his index finger: "Shh—"

Qingyin looked around, and it happened that the two of them were tired from the verbal battle, their speech speed began to slow down, and their voices were soft.After listening to it for a while, he felt startled: the emperor?Attack Baopu?What is this discussing?

Suddenly, Bai Jiu shut up, Yun Congfeng also stopped, the living room fell into a strange silence for a while, and autumn insects chirped outside the building.

Hu Yan took out a handful of melon seeds from his sleeve, and rubbed them.

for a long time.

Bai Jiu finally said: "I lost." His expression was not depressed, but he was sincerely convinced, "An ancient saying goes: a debater is a man who decorates people's hearts and changes people's minds; he can win people's mouths, but cannot convince people's hearts. I have always believed in it as the standard, and now Mr. Yun's words are so convincing to me, I admire it."

Yun Congfeng nodded: "Mr. Bai's argumentation skills are top-notch, you and I are evenly matched." In fact, he is better than Bai Jiu because he understands Baopu Mountain better. he.

Bai Jiu stood up with a relaxed expression: "It was a worthwhile trip today. Thank you Mr. Yun for your company, and I look forward to seeing you again in Jingzhewen!"

Yun Congfeng also stood up and cupped his hands: "See you in the Jingzhe Wenhui."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Hu Yan hurriedly put down the melon seeds in his hand: "Hey, hey, you haven't paid for the drink yet!"

Bai Jiu's smile that was like a spring breeze collapsed in an instant, a little stiff: "How much?"

"300 taels, no discount."

Bai Jiu's face twitched suddenly: "One thousand and three? Why is it so expensive?"

Hu Yan wrung his fingers to settle accounts with him: "A teapot is worth 1000 taels, plus the white water you drink is mixed with iron stalks, so it's not pure. Even if you pay 300 taels, it's very conscientious."

Bai Jiu's face twitched for a long time: "I don't have that much money with me today, so I'll send someone to bring it some other day."

"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold." Hu Yan swiped his hands, took out a pen and paper, and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Bai, please pay the IOU!"

Bai Jiu wrote his name on the IOU, and pressed his fingerprints. The good mood just now was gone, and he walked away without saying a word after pressing the fingerprints.

After Bai Jiu left, Hu Yan said with a smile, "If you win the debate, why don't you have a supper to celebrate?"

"There's no need for supper, let's go to rest early." Yun Congfeng looked very happy, and then he thought of another question, "Tie Geng Shenghe is the secret of Baopu Mountain. charge?"

"Of course it's true." Hu Yan rolled his eyes, "The iron-stalked Fangzihu family has long existed, and this is my treasure for many years."

Yun Congfeng looked behind him: "Where's the wine?"

Hu Yan took the jug and wine glass out of thin air: "Do you want to taste?" Before he finished speaking, he poured out a small glass, "Going to bed soon, just taste a little."

Yun Congfeng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and after a long aftertaste, he couldn't help but smile: "Not bad, the taste is exactly the same." It seemed that he wanted to lick a little more, but Hu Yan snatched it back, "I want to drink it tomorrow. "

Yun Congfeng laughed and said, "A pot costs 1000 taels, I still can't afford it."

"You can write an IOU just like Bai Jiu, and the money will be deducted from your salary."

"No, no, the year of the monkey will not end." Yun Congfeng shook his head, ready to rest, "It's not too late, let's rest."

"Okay, don't blame me if you can't sleep."

"How can I blame you, it will be fine if you try so little."

Yun Congfeng became obsessed with learning and doing on Baopu Mountain, and would drink iron stems and lotus to refresh himself.This is a drink commonly used by Baopu students, and he knows how to measure it.

But Bai Jiu was different.

Although he vomited it out immediately, the bitter taste of medicine in his mouth was always lingering.So much so that the lights were turned off at night, and I tossed and turned several times, but it was still difficult to fall asleep.

I thought that Renren would still fall asleep normally the next day, but he still didn’t fall asleep the next day, his mind was so sleepy and full of energy, he couldn’t stand it anymore, he got up early in the morning and drove straight to Rujia Inn, bang bang Bang Kuang knocked on the door: "Yun Congfeng! Master Yun! Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"

Yun Congfeng had no choice but to get up, and tried his best: "Master Bai..." "Tell me! Does that iron stalk Sheng He have an antidote?" Bai Jiu's hair was disheveled, with a look of despair on his face, "Is there an antidote? Please! You came!"

Yun Congfeng was called energetic by him, and he was silent for a long time: "No...you should study hard when you are in good spirits. People who hold Pu use this to refresh their minds and study."

"I don't want to study, I want to sleep!"
