Chapter 1780: Zhu Mang Seven
Chen Luo heard the sound and turned around and saw the old shopkeeper walking forward quickly, secretly stuffing a note in his hand.
"Keep, you are traveling all over the ten islands today and it is impossible to collect a hundred water and fire pills. But according to the address I gave you, you may have a chance to find this person." The old man leaned into Shen Luo's ear and whispered.
Chen Luo was happy when he heard this, thanked him again before turning around and leaving.
After leaving the store, Shen Luo opened the note and saw that it said: Luoxia Island, Shuiyu Village, Zhu Mangqi.
He rubbed his fingers lightly and twisted the paper into ashes, but did not immediately go to find someone as he said, but continued to patience and search for shops one by one.
Until the evening, Chen Luo visited all the shops, and the final harvest was only the three water and fire pills that the old shopkeeper secretly sold to him.
At this moment, Chen Luo gave up the idea of going to other islands to try his luck, and planned to go to Luoxia Island to find the person the old shopkeeper mentioned.
The sunset on the sea is very different from what you see on weekdays. It dyes a large area of sea from afar into colorful colors. There is no obvious boundary at the intersection of water and sky, as if the heaven and earth are blended into a huge canvas.
The sunset faced the sunset and rushed all the way to Luoxia Island, the westmost.
This island is obviously smaller than Bengyi Island. There is only one town on the island where people live, but there are many scattered villages. It took a lot of effort to find Shuiyu Village by asking for directions.
After inquiring with others, I found out that Zhu Mangqi is a well-known pearl picker on the island...
There are many pearl pickers on the ten islands, almost all of which are in collective teams, because entering the valley is a dangerous thing, and they can only act in groups, from three to five people to more than a dozen people, only when they dare to act together.
Zhu Mangqi is an exception. He has always been a commander who works alone in the sea to pick pearls and never cooperates with others.
It is said that it was because he had worked with someone but was betrayed and killed by someone, and he almost threw his life into the valley.
Following the direction guided by the villagers, Shen Luo came to a remote place deep in the village. Under a coconut forest, he saw a two-story wooden stilt house, which was dark and without a trace of light.
Before Chen Luo got close, he smelled a smell of alcohol. He subconsciously rubbed his nose and knew that he had found the right place.
"Master Zhu Mangqi, can you be at home?" Chen Luo came outside the building and shouted loudly.
There was no sound in the wooden building and no one answered.
"Master Zhu Mangqi..."
Chen Luo tried again, but no one agreed.
He let go of his spiritual sense and was about to start exploring, a door on the second floor of the wooden house suddenly creaked and pushed open. A man with a smell of alcohol staggered out with a wine pot in his hand.
He was not tall, looked a little thin, with a blue-black stubble on his face, and looked about thirty or forty years old. He frowned and looked at Chen Luo with a narrow eyes.
"Who... who, who is calling..."
While shouting vaguely, he reached out to grab the handrail outside the corridor. As a result, before the word "I" was called out, he supported himself in the empty space, pounced forward directly, and fell from the second floor.
Seeing this, Chen Luo turned slightly, and the man thorned on the ground beside him.
The sand in front of the house was soft and he would not get hurt. However, his posture was really not very elegant. His head was stuck in the sand and his butt was sticking up high, but the wine pot in his hand was held high and not broken.
Chen Luo stood aside and waited for a while. Before the guy got up by himself, he waited for a non-even snoring sound.
"Ha, it's really a drinker." Chen Luo said speechlessly.
He hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and waved his magic power swept across the man.
The man who had been lying on the ground with his butt sticking out before suddenly became excited, and his butt was stumbled backwards, and he pulled his head out of the ground and sat there.
"Master Zhu Mangqi, are you awake?" Chen Luo said with a smile.
The man turned his head blankly, looked at Chen Luo with an unhappy look, and asked, "It's amazing to know magic. Who asked you to meddle in other people's business with rats and dispel my drunkenness?"
Chen Luo heard this and was speechless.
In fact, he also discovered that Zhu Mangqi was actually a Mahayana cultivator. As for a pearl picker, it was already a rare master of advanced cultivation.
"I was introduced by the shopkeeper of Baozhaitang, and said you can buy the Water and Fire Pill here." Chen Luo smiled.
"No, no, get out of here." When Zhu Mangqi heard this, he seemed to be even more angry. He looked down and turned around and walked into the house.
Seeing this, Chen Luo had to say, "I was reckless before. I don't know if my fellow Taoist intends to get drunk, please forgive me."
Zhu Mangqi did not answer, but rubbed his waist and pushed open the door of the wooden building.
Seeing that he was about to close the door, he rolled his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, is it because of the South China Sea Dragon Palace blocking the Great Valley that he was so angry that he closed his door to drink at home? If so, there are some fairy wines here. I wonder if you are willing to drink a glass of it together?"
When Zhu Mangqi heard this, he paused to close the door, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and then he closed the door with a "splash".
Chen Luo was speechless, so he took out a pot of Xianjia jade wine with his hands, opened the mouth of the bottle, and let the wine smell emit it.
After a while, the door of the wooden house opened with a creaking sound, and Zhu Mangqi's voice came out: "Come in and speak."
Chen Luo smiled and walked straight in.
The lights were lit in the house, and the two sat opposite each other at the Eight Immortals table.
As soon as he sank his sleeves, a pair of white jade wine glasses appeared on the table, pouring the two of them with fairy wine.
Zhu Mangqi was not polite, picked up the wine glass and raised his head and drank it.
The wine entered his throat and slid into his abdomen, but it suddenly seemed to burn, releasing burning power, which not only warmed his stomach, but also became full of dantian.
Zhu Mangqi's face changed, and then he realized that what Chen Luo said was not false, but really was a fairy jade wine.
Chen Luo watched his expression change, and he laughed secretly in his heart, and immediately renewed his cup.
This time, Zhu Mangqi was in his hand, but he was reluctant to drink it.
"Just Drink it for a while, this immortal wine will be of great benefit to you, and you don't have to worry about excessive replenishment." Chen Luo reminded.
After hearing this, Zhu Mangqi turned his eyes and then drank it in one sip.
Chen Luo didn't rush to speak. He drank a glass, so he served with him, and then added another glass to each.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhu Mangqi finally couldn't sit still. He covered the wine glass with one hand to stop Shen Luo from continuing to add wine, and asked:
"If I guess correctly, you came from the Dragon Palace, right?"
"Why did Fellow Daoist Zhu say that?" Chen Luo asked in a hurry.
"In the South China Sea, only you dragon species can slander things so badly and drink this immortal wine as sea water." Zhu Mangqi snorted coldly and said.
