Chapter 909
The empty wine cup on the table was quickly taken away by the maids. The later monk of Jindan, who presided over the wine tasting, reappeared in front of everyone and looked at the people: "more than 200 people answered the first two questions correctly in this wine tasting meeting, which greatly exceeded the expectation of our city Lord's residence and showed that my wine tasting party in Jiuxian city has become more and more influential. Thank you for your support."
Then the Jindan friar waved to the back, and the waitresses came back with the tray. The empty wine cup on the tray was replaced with a smaller cup, only the size of red dates. It contained half a cup of dark brown liquid with a bitter taste, just like the potion boiled by a pharmacist.
When it was released, the Jindan friar continued: "Although many monks don't like medicinal wine very much, medicinal wine is also a kind of spirit wine, but its function is more targeted than ordinary spirit wine and has some specific therapeutic and recuperation effects. The cup in front of you is an uncommon medicinal wine. A total of seven main materials are used in brewing, and there are no fewer than dozens of other auxiliary materials. Therefore, the third question requires you to according to what you are facing This cup of medicinal wine, taste the seven main materials and proportions used in his brewing, and you can win if you answer all the questions correctly. "
After that, the friar Jindan stepped back and ordered someone to light the third burning incense, and then quietly watched how the friars in the field answered the questions. According to the usual practice, more than 80% of the friars in the wine tasting procedure were generally eliminated. The latter procedure was too troublesome, but the overall strength of the people who came to the wine tasting party was high, and so far only less than five were eliminated Yes, the final effect depends on how well the third question is answered.
It is not generally difficult for medicinal wine to introduce the materials for brewing medicinal wine. Usually, when people drink and taste wine, they only consider whether spiritual wine is useful to themselves or whether spiritual wine is good to drink. Who will pay attention to what materials are used and what is the proportion of each material?
If only one or two main materials are analyzed, some people can taste them. Since they are wine lovers, they have some understanding of spirit wine brewing, it is too difficult to taste all the seven main materials and analyze their proportion.
At least six or seven of the hundreds of friars on the court frowned and didn't know how to start. Even the descendants of the six Yuan Ying friars looked dignified and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures.
As for Qingyang, he thought that the third question would be more difficult than the second question, but after listening to the question, he was relieved. The principle of medicinal wine is similar to that of pill. There is little difference between the main materials of medicinal wine and the main materials of refining based on pill analysis.
At the time of the assessment of Keqing Dan king in Wantong Pavilion of Zhongsha region, Qingyang analyzed the 18 main methods used by only one Tongqiao Bumai pill, and even said the double refining method used in the refining of pills. At that time, the difficulty was much lower than that of tasting this medicinal wine now.
This is the biggest difference between Qingyang and others. He is a very clever alchemist. He is good at analyzing all kinds of materials and elixirs. The brewing principle of medicinal wine is the same as that of elixirs, and the materials are relatively similar, which makes him seize the opportunity. If the city Lord's house brings out only a cup of ordinary spiritual wine, Qingyang may not be able to guess.
Since the difficulty was not high, Qingyang didn't bother to hide. He directly picked up the cup next to him and drank it. Then he tasted it a little, and entered the answer into the jade slips.
Qingyang knew very well that if he wanted to get a place in the wine tasting and finally get the favor of invited moon Zhenjun, he must attract the other party's attention. It's impossible to be too low-key.
Qingyang was confident to do so. Sure enough, after a few breaths, the jade slips showed the third green light. So far, Qingyang answered all the three questions correctly and passed the test of wine tasting.
At this time, the incense burning on the front table burned less than an inch. Many people have not thought of countermeasures. None of the materials used to taste the medicinal wine. Even the descendants of the six Yuan Ying friars only analyzed three or four relatively simple materials.
Not to mention the following hundreds of casual practitioners for the time being, when the first question was asked, the descendants of the six Yuanying friars began to answer the question when there was only an inch left to burn incense. The results all passed the test, which was an eye opener. However, considering their identity and behind forces, this achievement was also normal.
The second question was much more difficult, but it didn't bother the six of them. Although the six people answered the right questions first and then, they were much faster than the off-site casual practitioners. The third question was even more difficult. Everyone felt that they must be the first few to pass the customs. Unexpectedly, just at the beginning, some foundation builders passed the test and didn't give you any reaction time.
It wouldn't be surprising if Qingyang was just a little faster than others. The key is that he rode through the dust. It's amazing that most people haven't sorted out the clue before he has completed the customs clearance. The most important thing is that he has only completed the foundation period.
Shi Ruyu glares at Qingyang and seems to be very dissatisfied with his behavior of stealing the limelight. Immortal Ziyun stares at Qingyang with beautiful eyes. His eyes are full of curiosity and doubt. Other people also have different expressions. They envy, envy, admire and admire.
Not only them, but also friars Yuanying were startled. Inviting Yue Zhenjun smiled: "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and generations are stronger than generations. The friar Zhuji won the first prize in this wine tasting, which greatly surprised us. Taoist friends, do you recognize this young man? Is it that the younger generation of which family hid his identity to attend the wine tasting?"
Others thought so, but after careful observation, none of them knew. One of the Yuan Ying friars shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven't heard of such a descendant in the family of any Yuan Ying Taoist friend. Maybe the young man is really just a casual practice."
Inviting the moon Zhenjun nodded and said, "if so, this young man would be great. He can answer the materials of medicinal wine so quickly with the foundation building cultivation. Either his wine making skill is superb, or his Dan skill has exceeded the cultivation itself. He is a rare talent and jade."
"It's a good young man to get the praise of invited moon Zhenjun. Invited moon Taoist friends cherish talents so much, why don't they directly bring him under the door?" said Qingyue Zhenjun.
Inviting the moon Zhenjun shook his head and said, "forget it. I've always been lazy. I'm most impatient to teach my disciples. I'm too lazy to bother. Besides, I already have several disciples around me. I also said before that I won't accept any more disciples. It's good to be a young man here. I'm afraid I won't have a chance."
