Ji Xiuzhu walked gropingly while thinking about what had happened recently.

In fact, Ji Xiuzhu had already noticed the people that Qin Lan had just captured when he went out.

It seemed like these people had been targeting her since she stepped into this town.

Moreover, the Taoist priest who sold fake goods seemed to be in cahoots with this group of people.

Because, the smell that Ji Xiuzhu smelled on that Taoist priest was the same as the smell on the group of people tied up by Qin Lan.

It is a light woody fragrance that has a calming effect.

I think the people behind the scenes those people contacted were the same group.

However, the smell on them was faint, and it must have been passed on to several people, so if Ji Xiuzhu wanted to find the source, he had to use himself as bait.

But unexpectedly, Qin Lan showed up halfway.

Now that he couldn’t find the person behind the scenes, Ji Xiuzhu instantly became depressed.

As Ji Xiuzhu was walking, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around him, so he immediately stopped and became alert to his surroundings.

She remembered that this was the right way to go back, but the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.

Logically speaking, it was just past noon when she and Qin Lan said goodbye at the storytelling shop.

But the direction of the wind is from the north.

Normally, at noon, sunlight would be high in the sky, but the wind would only blow from the east and west.

But the current wind direction is indeed strange and tight.

Ji Xiuzhu held the bamboo pole and knocked around, then used her spiritual sense to explore the surroundings. After confirming that her spiritual sense bounced back after only a moment, she immediately confirmed one thing, that is, she seemed to have entered someone else's formation.

Ji Xiuzhu thought to herself that it was not good. It seemed that the other party was well prepared. She concentrated her energy and tried to find the center of the formation, but she could not see it with her eyes. When she used her spiritual sense to explore, she could only see a vast expanse of white fog. She could not tell the direction at all.

Only at this moment did Ji Xiuzhu realize that being blind was not a good thing.

It’s so difficult to break the formation!

Just as Ji Xiuzhu was concentrating on finding the center of the formation, a melodious flute sound came, the sound coming and going, as if guiding her.

The sound of the flute seemed familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

So, Ji Xiuzhu hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow the sound of the flute.

Ji Xiuzhu didn't know how long he had been walking before he finally walked out of the white fog. However, what appeared in front of Ji Xiuzhu was not a bustling street, but an elegant courtyard.

There was a towering tree in the yard, and under the tree sat a man in white, playing the flute.

Ji Xiuzhu couldn't see what was in front of her, but the cool feeling touching her skin told her that there was a tree in front of her.

The leaves rustled in the wind, and the sound was mixed with the sound of flowing water.

And there is no noise around. This place doesn't look like a house, but rather like a courtyard nestled in the mountains and beside the water.

The fact is just as Ji Xiuzhu guessed, this is a courtyard.

The only difference is that the sound of water is not from a stream, but from flowing water in the rockery.

The only strange thing is that the water is not clear white, but full of scarlet blood.

Seeing Ji Xiuzhu had arrived, the man slowly put down the flute in his hand, looked at Ji Xiuzhu with a smile, and a barely perceptible cunning flashed in his eyes.

"I heard that Mengqishan has a disciple in Tianyuan Continent named Ji Xiuzhu. Ji Xiuzhu is the leader of the three ancient sects and the current leader of Shenyin Sect. And this Ji Sect Leader left Shenyin Sect a few days ago and went to the extreme north.

I guess the girl is the leader of the Shenyin Sect, Ji Xiuzhu, right?"

The man had kind eyes and a gentle look, and he looked a bit like an immortal from another world.

However, if you look closely, you will find that the man in front of you has some similarities between his eyebrows and Tushan Yin.

Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything after hearing this, but just waited quietly for the man to say the next words.

The man did not disappoint Ji Xiuzhu. He flashed and came in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

After looking around Ji Xiuzhu, he spoke with interest: "I heard that Ji Xiuzhu is a man of extraordinary talent and has never had any defects. But you are blind, and no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like Ji Xiuzhu. Could it be that Old Ghost Mo lied to me?"

Ji Xiuzhu frowned when he heard this: "The old monster Mo you are talking about, is it Mo Daoa, or Mo Yan's father? And who are you?"

"Oh, you're asking me a question. Interesting. But this is a long story. Please sit down and listen to me."

As he spoke, the man pulled Ji Xiuzhu and came to the table in a flash. The man pushed Ji Xiuzhu down and sat down, and he sat aside.

Then he waved his hand and two cups appeared on the table.

Seeing that the cup was too small, the man waved his hand and produced two jade bowls.

After seeing that the jade bowl was the right size, the man nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, the man waved his hands, and spiritual power overflowed from his rolling palms.

Then Ji Xiuzhu heard the sound of flowing water and wind behind him, which were comparable to the sound of love and hate.

After a while, the sound of flowing water became clearer and clearer in Ji Xiuzhu's ears.

Then, as the man stopped gesturing, the red water obediently flowed into the bowl.

When the man withdrew his hand, two bowls of scarlet liquid were quietly placed in front of Ji Xiuzhu and the man.

Ji Xiuzhu can't see, but he has a very sensitive nose.

Although there was no steam from the liquid in the bowl, she could smell a strong grape wine aroma.

"When I was outside just now, I smelled the aroma of fruit wine. I didn't expect that you are actually a winemaking expert. The smell of this wine is intoxicating just by smelling it."

Ji Xiuzhu was not stingy with her praise. After all, this wine was one of the few, besides Qinlan Osmanthus Wine, that could make her mouth water.

Although she hadn't taken a sip yet, the aroma of the wine was enough to prove that it was not bad.

The man was stunned when he heard this. He just thought that he had nothing good to treat mortals with, so he thought of using the wine he brewed to entertain them. However, he never thought that this little girl in front of him, who looked not very old, was such a wine lover.

"I didn't expect that you also know about wine? This is a bit surprising to me."

After the man finished speaking, he did not ask Ji Xiuzhu to taste it. Instead, he picked up the jade bowl and took a sip first.

When Ji Xiuzhu heard the sound, he put the bamboo pole aside, fumbled on the table, and picked up the jade bowl.

Then he put it to his lips and took a sip.

Ji Xiuzhu only felt a rich fruity aroma spreading in his mouth, followed by a spicy taste, and then a cool feeling in his throat.

After coming to his senses, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Just now I smelled the fragrance of grapes, and I thought it was brewed by grapes. I never thought it was brewed by spiritual fruit."

The man laughed loudly, and was very satisfied with Ji Xiuzhu's evaluation: "You little girl, you are quite interesting. Your little mouth can actually taste flavors. Yes, this wine is made by me collecting hundreds of spiritual fruits and nourishing it with spiritual power for a thousand years. I call it Wujiang. Even those guys in the upper realm can't drink a sip, but you are lucky enough to have it."

Ji Xiuzhu was surprised. She didn't expect the wine to be so precious. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't know it was so precious. I'm just a drinker. I never thought I would be so lucky."

Hearing this, the man waved his hand and said, "No problem, I'm happy to give you a drink. Don't you want to know who I am? After you finish drinking this bowl of wine, I'll tell you."
