022 medicine turned Meizhuang people

  Listening to Dan Qing's words, Linghu Cong was astonished, but his face didn't show it. He just glanced at Lin Heng, who also gave him a look at the same time. Linghu Cong said: "Haha... Fourth Master is overpraising me. My junior brother's wine is good, but there's too little of it, and drinking it doesn't even quench one's thirst."

  "Little brother, you're right. I just heard your junior say that his brewing method requires not only repeated fermentation but also some precious medicinal materials. These medicinal materials aren't something anyone can get." He said with a hint of pride, because he could obtain these materials.

  Upon hearing this, the two men didn't continue the conversation and instead changed the subject, slowly shifting from wine to martial arts. Lin Heng said: "Brother is a genius with swordsmanship, his skills are unparalleled in the world, except for our respected teacher, I'm afraid there's no one who can match him." Lin Heng's words were quite boastful, Dan Qing Sheng furrowed his brow upon hearing them, but he saw that Lin Heng was slightly drunk and didn't take it to heart. However, Lin Heng wouldn't let it go and continued: "Host, don't underestimate us brothers, although we have no school or sect, the swordsmanship we've learned is absolutely beyond your expectations..."

  "Oh? Little brother, what swordsmanship are you learning?" Dan Qing Sheng listened with interest, he really wanted to know what kind of swordsmanship would surprise him. Unfortunately, he was destined to be surprised, because Lin Heng said that the swordsmanship they were learning was also Wu Yue Swordsmanship, which was taught by their master, and he even said that their master used to be a member of the Huashan Sect, with great fame in the Jianghu, but had retired due to some matters.

  Dan Qing Sheng wasn't a fool, and as soon as he heard them, he knew they must be talking about the Huashan Sword Sect disciples. The only thing he didn't know was which one. But when they said that they would use the Wu Yue Sword Method, Dan Qing Sheng couldn't help but feel disbelieving. So, he proposed a duel!

  This fell right into Lin Heng's trap, and he immediately agreed to it under the influence of alcohol. He then pulled Dan Qing along with him outside. The two casually picked up a branch and started fighting there.

  If it were Linghu Chong, Dan Qing would definitely not be his match. But what about Lin Heng? Although he also knows the Five Mountains Swordsmanship, he can't use it at will, but this way, it's precisely showing that he is using the Five Mountains Swordsmanship. As for Linghu Chong, who can recognize his crooked and twisted Five Mountains Swordsmanship?

  The two fought for a while, and Lin Heng lost, but Dan Qing Sheng was certain that they were indeed learning the true Five Mountains Swordsmanship. This surprised him greatly, as it was truly unimaginable that one person could master all five styles of swordsmanship.

  However, Dan Qing Sheng didn't think much of it, after all he was also a bit tipsy now, and there was another drunkard beside him, so the three of them naturally went back to continue drinking.

  The three of them got drunk, and each was sent back to their room. When Lin Heng woke up, it was already the next day. He patted his head and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Everything went according to plan!

  Brewing wine, drinking wine, and comparing swords, that's what Lin Heng did in Mei Village. As for Linghu Chong, he was much simpler, apart from drinking wine, it was just drinking wine. For this big drunkard Linghu Chong, it was really the best place to be.

  About ten days later, Lin Heng's brewed wine was out of the oven. The new wine smelled very good, which made Dan Qing very satisfied, and it was this strong wine aroma that attracted Hei Bai Zi over.

  For the past ten or so days, Lin Heng had been worried about what to do if others didn't show up. Originally, he wanted to force them out with Linghu Chong's absolute swordsmanship. But now that Hei Bai Zi was here, it couldn't be any better.

  "Good wine, good wine..." Hei Bai Zi savored the beautiful wine in his cup, unable to help but praise it. The four friends of Mei Zhuang each had their own preferences, and if they really wanted to talk about it, they all understood each other's tastes. Not to mention anything else, just talking about drinking, the mouths of these four were very particular. However, this was normal, after all, they lived on Dan Qing Sheng's wine, so naturally, they wouldn't be used to ordinary wine. In fact, this indirectly explained that they also had a certain level of alcohol dependence. Lin Heng's wine was brewed specifically for this point.

  "Fourth Master, you four friends of Mei Zhuang should be the four of you, right? Why not send some of this wine to the Great Master and Third Master as well?" Lin Heng suggested, seeing how much everyone was enjoying their drinks.

  Tan Qing and Hei Bai Zi listened, feeling very reasonable. After all, such good wine, they couldn't enjoy it alone. Immediately, the two of them took the wine and walked towards a nearby courtyard, with Lin Heng following behind them. The courtyard seemed quiet, looking at the walls around, which were filled with large characters. Lin Heng knew that this must be the courtyard of Tu Bi Weng.

  "Third brother, third brother..." he bellowed twice, Dan Qing Sheng held up his wine and said: "Come quickly and have a taste, this is truly the finest wine in the world!"

  "Fourth brother, I don't have a taste for wine..." Bald Old Man walked out holding his brush, but before he could finish speaking, he caught the strong aroma of wine and smacked his lips. Without any courtesy, he snatched the wine bowl and downed it in one gulp. "Good wine, good wine, this is truly good wine!"

  "Haha......" Dan Qing burst out laughing and said: "How about it, Third Brother? I told you this is the best wine in the world, didn't I?"

  "This wine is indeed worthy of being called the best in the world!" Tu Bi Weng nodded in agreement, and then several people went to find Huang Zhong Gong together. Huang Zhong Gong was similar to the other three, but his character was more resolute. If it wasn't something he liked himself, he would never waver psychologically. However, Lin Heng's brewed wine was special, with a fragrance that was extremely attractive. Even Huang Zhong Gong couldn't help but take a sip after smelling it.

  Several people had drunk, Lin Heng smiled, he leaned against Linghu Chong's side, his hand moved slightly. On the other side, Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and lifted the bowl to drink wine, but Mei Zhuang Si You didn't notice that there was an extra dan medicine in Linghu Chong's hand.

  Several people drank, unknowingly drinking for half a day. The six of them clinked cups and got drunk, but only the four friends from Mei Village were truly drunk, while Linghu Chong and Lin Heng pretended to be drunk. They feigned drunkenness on the one hand to deceive the four friends from Mei Village, and on the other hand, they waited for Ding Jian and Shi Lingwei to come and clean up the mess. Sure enough, after the house was quiet, those two quickly walked in, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva at the aroma of wine that filled the room. It's worth noting that this wine was something they had tasted before, and its flavor was absolutely exquisite.

  At this time, they saw that the six of them were all drunk, and immediately picked up the remaining wine on one side and drank several cups fiercely. Just as they were drinking, a strange fragrance suddenly floated in the room, but the fragrance was quickly covered by the wine fragrance, and Ding Jian and Shi Lingwei did not suspect anything at all. At this time, the two of them were still drinking the remaining fine wine.

  Soon, the two fell on the table one after another. Seeing them fall, Lin Heng immediately sat up with a smile all over his face.

  "Brother Lenghu, how's it? My methods are quite clever, aren't they? Hehe..."

  Linghu Chong didn't seem as happy as Lin Heng, he got up and immediately checked on the four of them, only relaxing when he found they were all fine. Lin Heng saw his actions and knew that he had developed some feelings for these four people, just like in the original work.

  "Brother Linghu, don't worry, I only used a special anesthetic, they won't be harmed. Alright, let's tie them up anyway, or else we'll be in trouble when they wake up!" Lin Heng said as he walked out, but soon came back with a thick rope in his hand. He and Linghu Chong used the rope to bind the several people tightly, separating them from each other. Then, Lin Heng began searching their bodies and quickly found the key he was looking for.

  "Brother Linghu, the key is in hand. Let's take a look and see if there's a secret room here!" Lin Heng didn't explain much, and on the other side, Linghu Chong saw him busy and could only follow suit, knocking on the walls all around. Soon, Lin Heng discovered that the bed board was empty, and he called out to Linghu Chong. The two of them quickly opened up the bed board and went down one after another.

  This was a very deep tunnel, with oil lamps lit on both sides of the tunnel, emitting a faint yellow glow. The two of them walked forward cautiously, one in front of the other. After walking about 20 feet or so, there was no way to go further ahead. Lin Heng looked around and took out the key he had found on Mei Zhuang's four friends, inserted it into a keyhole on the side, and turned it lightly. With a few clicks, the stone door on the side slowly opened, and the two of them exchanged a glance before continuing forward.

  "Brother, what kind of place is this?" Linghu Cong had many questions in his mind and couldn't help but ask. Lin Heng just smiled at him and said: "Linghu brother, don't worry, I didn't bring you here to do anything bad, but to treat your injury. There's a senior expert being held here who can cure your wound."

  Linghu Chong heard him say this, and his doubts grew even heavier. When Lin Heng first mentioned the method of treatment, he had also listened carefully, so naturally he knew what Lin Heng was talking about. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed: "Brother Lin, you wouldn't bring me here to cultivate the Heavenly Absorbing Star Technique, would you?"

  "Clever!" Lin Heng's heart was delighted, and immediately he became serious: "Don't think wildly, the old guy inside is not easy to deal with, we'd better be careful."

  As he spoke, he hurried along with his head down. Linghu Chong saw this and could only put his doubts in his heart, no longer thinking about it. But he had made up his own mind, that if he really allowed himself to cultivate the Heavenly Demon's Absorbing Star Technique, then he absolutely would not do it.

  The two of them walked another ten or so yards before they saw a large gate. Lin Heng took out another key and opened the door, continuing to venture deeper. The terrain of this tunnel was constantly sloping downward, and after walking for a while, they had probably already gone about a hundred yards. Such a deep and profound cave was truly unimaginable.

  About half an hour later, the two of them stumbled and staggered until they finally arrived at a dark place. At first glance, Lin Heng knew that they had reached their destination.

  "Be careful!"

  Lin Heng carefully reminded Linghu Cong, and immediately picked up an oil lamp, slowly walking towards the darkness. There seemed to be a wild beast there, staring at them with a fierce gaze, making them feel chilled to the bone.
