Several people looked at Zhang Yan one after another.

"Look at what I'm doing, Junior Brother Tang, I'm still grateful for my kindness." Zhang Yan said.

"Thank you, Uncle Tang." Several people said, and they all picked up their wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

"how is the taste?"

"Okay." One disciple said

Tang Ning laughed: "Brother Zhang, look, you said it tastes bad, but they say it tastes very delicious. This is why oranges grown in Huainan are called tangerines, and those grown in the north of Huaibei are called tangerines. The same jar of wine tastes bitter in your mouth, but it tastes bitter in your mouth. It tastes sweet in my mouth, but it's a pity that you are not good at it, and you have lost one of the great joys in life. This jar of wine seems to be a blessing, so I want you to taste it, Senior Brother Zhang. Qianli Horse belongs to Bole. Come on, I will give this jar of wine to you. !”

"Thank you, Uncle Tang." The disciple said happily, taking the wine.

Zhang Yan also smiled and said: "Junior Brother Tang, this comparison is inappropriate. I am at best a summer insect and cannot be compared with ice. I have never tasted wine, so how can I know the benefits of wine?"

"Senior Brother Zhang, do you know that there are some monks in this world who never practice Qi, and their cultivation speed is no less than that of the proud disciples of major sects. Do you know what they rely on?"

"Never practice Qi training? This is impossible!" Zhang Yan said in disbelief

"It's this spiritual wine that I rely on." Tang Ning immediately explained the cultivation method that Dou Wencai had heard.

Zhang Yan was stunned and amazed after hearing this.

After the two chatted for a while, Fangyuan arrived with Dou Chong in his arms. Dou Chong had been restrained by Tang Ning's spiritual power, and his whole body's spiritual power was blocked. When he saw Zhang Yan and others, he knew that someone from the Qian Yizong Supervisory Department had arrived. With a pop, he knelt down.

Zhang Yan asked: "Dou Chong, according to your confession, you secretly stole information from the intelligence station. What excuse do you have?"

"No excuse."

"Okay, tell me one by one how you stole the intelligence information from his station and why you surrendered."

"At first I was..." Dou Chong said happily

Zhang Yan occasionally asked questions, and he responded fluently. After questioning for about half an hour, Zhang Yan waved his hand and Fangyuan escorted him out.

"Junior brother Tang, according to what Dou Chong said, we have to go to Qinchuan Eastern Station to verify it."

Tangning nodded and headed to Qinchuan Eastern Station with him.

Tangning had already greeted Luo Yuan and was already prepared on how to deal with him.

Zhang Yan investigated and interrogated him, but found nothing wrong, and the two returned to the cabin.

"Junior Brother Tang, this Dou Chong is not a disciple of our sect, but a subordinate of your Intelligence Department. How do you think we should handle it?" Zhang Yan asked. Before he left the sect, the deacon of the Supervision Department had told him what to do. The plan is mainly based on the opinions of the Intelligence Division. They only need to investigate and interrogate, and don't bother with the rest.

Tang Ning said: "This Dou is no match for a mere handyman at the intelligence station. He dares to steal the secrets of our intelligence station. He should be killed. However, if he has surrendered and repented sincerely, he will be given a lighter sentence. I will only serve him in prison for thirty years." .He is neither a disciple of our sect nor does he need to be escorted to the sect. He can only be handed over to the intelligence station for detention here."

Zhang Yan nodded and said, "It's up to you.

The two discussed briefly and decided on Dou Chong's crime. They immediately went to the intelligence station and announced the decision. Dou Chong was temporarily taken into an inner room and was guarded by intelligence station personnel on a rotating basis.

Zhang Yan and others also returned to the Qianyi Sect. In the next few days, the Dou family frequently invited Tang Ning to have banquets, during which they presented a large number of gifts and begged him to hand over Dou Chong to them.

Tang Ning always shied away from him, or ignored him. She only promised to lift the restraint on him privately and refused to let go of sending him back to the Dou family.

Not only did the Dou family not give up, but they sent more and more spiritual stones. After going back and forth, Tang Ning finally relented and waited until the limelight relaxed a little before finding a reason to send Dou Chong back.

………

Looking outside the Xichuan Attic, a man with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes came down with a sword. He glanced at the three shining golden characters on the attic, flicked his long sleeves, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the hall, a person came up to him: "This is your first time here, fellow Taoist! It seems that I have never seen fellow Taoist before."

"Yes, I came from Bianjing and heard people say that Wangxichuan is one of the most interesting places in Qinchuan, so I came here to see it."

"Fellow Taoist, we have come to the right place. We have three unique places here, and everyone knows about Qinchuan."

"Oh? I don't know what the three special skills are."

"First, it's wine. The wine we have here is a secret spiritual wine, and Qinchuan is unique. To tell you the truth, many monks have traveled thousands of miles to come to Qinchuan just for this sip of spiritual wine."

"Secondly, it's the music. Everyone in the attic clapped and praised the music they played."

"Third, it's the people. The escort girls in the attic are all monks who have undergone alchemy. They specialize in the art of acacia in the room, and they have the effect of gathering yin and replenishing yang."

The man laughed, stroking his hands and said, "Okay, these three skills are exactly what I love in my life."

"We have room No. 3 of Tiandiren in our attic. I wonder which room you need?"

"Oh? What can you say?"

"This is a herringbone room! It's just an ordinary room, a place for people to relax. The wine is the royal wine of the world. The musicians and the accompanying girls are ordinary women in the world. It only requires ten spiritual stones."

"It's the name of the place! The room is a separate secret room. The musician and the accompanying girl are both female cultivators. The musician specializes in instrumental music and uses magical instruments to help. His voice is like the sound of nature. The accompanying girl is also a female cultivator who practices the art of acacia in the room. , but the wine is just average and requires fifty spirit stones."

"What a Tianzihao! The room is an independent courtyard, and the wine is a secret spiritual wine. The female nuns who accompany you all practice special secrets and have become the body of the furnace. If you have fun with them, you can use their spiritual power to replenish yourself. You need a One hundred and fifty spiritual stones."

"Then give me a room with a high ceiling," the man said.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please come with me."

The two of them walked along a passage: "I don't know your name? Are you a monk from Chu State?"

"I am Xiao Mobai, a casual cultivator who has made his home all over the world. I don't know how famous you are."

"My name is Dou Ming, and I am in charge of the affairs here. There are not many casual cultivators who are as generous as fellow Taoist Xiao. I thought you were a disciple of the Qianyi Sect?"

"I see that there are many monks coming and going in your loft. Why, they are all disciples of the Qianyi Sect."

"That's not entirely true. Most of the casual cultivators from Qinchuan come here for entertainment. But most of the people who are willing to spend hundreds of spirit stones for entertainment are talented and powerful cultivators, either sect disciples, or young masters from some families, and occasionally Netherworld People from Gufang City also come here to have fun."

While they were talking, they arrived at a courtyard with pavilions and pavilions, green pines and cypresses in spring, elk roaming, and cranes flying.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is the Tianzihao room." Dou Ming said.

Xiao Mobai took out a storage bag and handed the spirit stone to him.

"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. The spirit wine and musicians will be ready immediately. I'll ask the maid to come over." The man took the spirit stone and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute, I heard that you have a female cultivator named Su Jiaowei who is good at playing the piano. I wonder if I can ask her to play a piece first."

"sure."

Xiao Mobai nodded and pushed open the door and walked in. Not long after, a maid came with a tray and placed it on his case. He bowed before retreating.

There were some delicacies on the tray, as well as a white jade vase. He picked up the jade vase, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. He was about to fill the second cup when he saw a haggard-looking woman walking in with Suqin in her arms. He bowed and bowed before starting to play with his bare hands.

After playing a piece of music, the lingering sound lingers.

"Are you Su Jiaowei?"

"I am exactly right."

"You can recognize this thing." Xiao Mobai turned his right hand and took out a silver hairpin.

"This is it." Su Jiaoruo's eyes narrowed, and her whole body was filled with energy.

"Quietly." Xiao Mobai made a silent gesture and came to her side and whispered: "I am here to find you, entrusted by my respected grandmother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Dou Ming led three graceful and beautiful women into the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, these are female cultivators who have been carefully cultivated by us. See which one you like."

Dou Ming said, Xiao Mobai looked up and saw that these three women were all at the first and second levels of Qi Refining. Although their looks were beautiful, their complexions were a little pale, their eyes were dull, and they seemed to be mentally depressed.

He waved his hand and said, "I won't bother these people anymore. I wonder if I can let Miss Su have a few drinks with me?"

Dou Ming glanced at him in surprise. A casual cultivator spent three hundred spirit stones just to listen to music and drink wine? Which of the monks who came to Qinchuan for his reputation were not like wolves and tigers, rushing for the furnace tripod spirit wine? Coming from the name, he was a little surprised that this person refused to serve the furnace.

This building was built by the ancestor of the Dou family. The ancestor traveled to the inland of Qingzhou and saw the financial cultivation methods of the young masters of those aristocratic families. He suddenly had a whim and built this building after returning to Xingang. His inspiration came from the financial cultivation method. , using spiritual wine as food, and using furnaces and cauldrons as cultivation.

He found a secret recipe for spiritual wine in the Qingzhou hinterland, as well as the secret method of cultivating the furnace, and forced the female cultivators to practice this method. With the addition of spiritual wine, he soon made a name for himself in the land of Qinchuan. Because of its high price, many people traveled thousands of miles to have a taste of the spirit wine and the furnace cauldron. The Dou family made a fortune every day by relying on this building.

"Yes, but Miss Su is a musician and has never learned any secret skills."

"It doesn't matter."

"In that case, Su Jiaorui, you can accompany fellow Daoist Xiao to have fun!" Dou Yuan said, leading the three women out of the hall.

"I wonder who the young master is? How do you know your grandmother?" Su Jiaoruo asked when she saw Dou Yuan and others walking away.

"I'm just a wandering wandering cultivator. I received a favor from my respected grandmother, who asked me to come find you."

Su Jiaowei looked sad: "Grandma is still fine."

"It's not very good. She is old and dazzled, and her days are short. Since you disappeared, she has been looking for you day and night. When she heard that you were captured in the west, she waited in the west of the city every day, leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. Whenever there were guests coming from the west, I kept asking questions."
