Chapter 125 The Secret of Pigsy
Elder Qingyang glanced at this group of ignorant fools as if they were dead.
He admired Kongming from the bottom of his heart, whether for his wisdom, courage, or cultivation.
The fact that Kongming rose from an unknown nobody to a position where even Kongming had to be wary of him speaks volumes about his potential.
However, the interests of the sect were clearly not something that Kongming could easily change.
"I have said my piece. As for how to proceed, Fellow Daoist Zhuge, you must consider this carefully!"
After saying this, Elder Qingyang turned and left...
"Hey! My good brother is still the best! From now on, who will I be afraid of!"
After Elder Qingyang left, Zhu Ganglie flicked his sleeves, looking arrogant and haughty.
"Today, Master Zhuge has returned, and I must celebrate this occasion!" Li Guangling said triumphantly, rolling up his sleeves.
Only Li Muling gazed at Kongming quietly, still feeling as if she were in a dream.
However, Kongming's attitude towards her remained lukewarm, which left her with mixed feelings and a sense of loss.
She also knew that there always seemed to be an invisible mist between her and Kongming, both close and distant, making them unpredictable.
"I'll go prepare some food and drinks for you right away!" Li Muling said softly, then turned and left.
"Yes, yes, yes... We should have a welcome party for my older brother. I, Old Pig, have worked hard all these years. Brother, please wait a moment, I, Old Pig, will be right back!"
Pigsy waddled towards the back mountain.
Kongming then remembered this matter. For the past two or three years, this guy had been acting mysteriously, and Zhao Yun had never mentioned it.
He simply couldn't be bothered with it, not believing that this pig could fly.
Before long, Li Muling prepared a sumptuous meal, and Zhu Ganglie excitedly ran over, carrying two earthen jars wrapped in his wide robe.
Seeing his serious demeanor, Kongming couldn't figure out what this guy was up to.
Pigsy carefully placed the mud jar down, a smug look on his face.
"Hehe... Big brother, this is a fine wine that I spent two and a half years developing. Please have a taste!"
"Oh!"
Upon hearing this, Kongming's eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity.
He had always known about Zhu Ganglie's obsession with food, but he never expected that the thing this guy was secretly tinkering with was actually wine.
Kongming gently lifted the mud seal, and a rich and mellow aroma of wine instantly filled the air.
It was unlike any other wine aroma I had ever smelled before; it was so enticing that one sip would make me fall in love with it.
"It smells so good! What kind of wine is this? I've never smelled such a fragrant wine before."
The people present were all amazed, and they couldn't help but take a deep breath, their faces showing a look of rapture.
"Brother, you should try it!"
With a hopeful look on his face, Zhu Ganglie took a wine cup and poured a full cup for Kongming.
The wine was crystal clear, a world apart from the murky wines of this world.
"Gang Lie, are you sure this is drinkable?"
Kongming had never seen such clear wine before, and couldn't help but ask with some doubt.
"Hey! Do you think I, Old Pig, would use you as a test subject for poison? My brother Zilong praised my cooking skills after drinking it!"
Zhu Ganglie patted his chest and said.
Zhao Yun, standing to the side, already had a look of eager anticipation in his eyes, which showed his approval of the wine.
Kongming raised his wine cup, took a small sip, and immediately frowned.
The initial taste was spicy, like a raging fire that instantly ignited every corner of his taste buds.
But then a sweet taste spread from the tip of the tongue to the heart, leaving a lingering and unforgettable aftertaste.
Seeing Kongming's expression, everyone was unsure what the wine tasted like that could elicit such a wide range of reactions from him.
"Brother, what do you say?" Zhu Ganglie asked confidently.
Kongming downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, his brows furrowing again. He smacked his lips and said...
"Ganglie, is this the wine you brewed?"
"Hey! What are you talking about! If this wasn't brewed by me, was it brewed by you? When my fine wine was ready, the aroma attracted those monkeys on the back mountain. If I hadn't been quick-witted and thrown out the defective products, those damned monkeys would have stolen them!"
Pigsy proudly showed off, his face beaming with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
Upon hearing this, Kongming's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder lightly and said, "Excellent wine! It's incredibly fragrant and mellow, truly a divine delicacy. I doubt there's a second one like it in the world. You've got it, Bajie!"
"Hehehe...it seems that Big Brother's eyes aren't completely blind after all!" Pigsy grinned from ear to ear.
Then, feigning mystery, he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, do you know the origin of this wine?"
"Gang Lie, is there something special about this wine?"
Upon hearing this, Kongming's eyes flashed with interest. He put down his wine cup, signaling him to continue.
"I've lived through dozens of lifetimes, and I've forgotten most of the things, but my memories of delicious food are deeply ingrained!"
Zhu Ganglie poured himself a full cup and then spoke.
"I don't remember which life it was, but I inexplicably fell into a strange world. There was no cultivation there, only technology and ruthless skills. They created flying and swimming creatures as daily transportation. But none of that matters. The key thing is that there is a place that produces excellent wine, which makes me so happy!"
Upon hearing this, Kongming's eyes shone even brighter. Zhu Ganglie had cultivated for dozens of lifetimes, and perhaps he really had been transported to other strange and wonderful worlds. After all, wasn't he himself a transmigrator?
Therefore, he firmly believed in Zhu Ganglie's words, and he was always full of curiosity and a desire to explore the unknown world.
"Oh? Technology and ruthless skills? That certainly is a unique world. In that case, could this wine be a product of that world? Does it have a name?"
"This wine is called Maotai by the people there, but I would like to ask you to rename it, since I learned it from them," Zhu Ganglie said proudly.
Kongming pondered for a moment, then smiled and looked at Zhu Ganglie, "Drinking this wine makes one feel like they're floating on air, so let's call it 'Flying to Heaven.' Ganglie, our days of getting rich have arrived!"
Kongming's eyes gleamed. He knew that if such a fine wine could spread throughout the world, it would surely cause a stir. Given time, it might even be able to rival the wealth of those ancient aristocratic families...
During the meal, everyone could no longer resist and began to savor the fine wine.
"Good wine, powerful flavor! This is the kind of wine a man should drink!"
Li Guangling, who had lived in the royal family since childhood, had never tasted such fine wine before, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
For a moment, glasses clinked and toasts were exchanged...
Inside the Jade Cauldron Sect's mountain gate, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair stood with his hands behind his back. This man was none other than the Jade Cauldron Sect's Grand Elder, Master Yu Cang.
A strong surge of spiritual energy emanated from his body, revealing the aura of a top-tier expert.
"Sima Yi... Zhuge Kongming..." he murmured softly.
Just now, he received a secret letter from someone he had a close relationship with within one of the three major sects.
The letter states that Zhuge Liang is not dead, and is very likely a disciple from one of the three ancient aristocratic families who came out for training...
