When the white-haired old man appeared, Haha You and the other demons did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly retreated.
Clearly.
They were very respectful towards the white-haired old man.
As the old man slowly walked over, leaning on his jade bone staff, his deep and murky eyes stared at Gu Qing Feng. However, the more he looked, the deeper his frown became. The more he looked, the more shocked he became. The more he looked, the more confused he became. The more he looked, the more fear he felt.
When he stopped, the white-haired old man suddenly bowed and cupped his fists. "I am Gu Tong. Greetings, Exalted One."
This bow not only shocked the two immortals, Zi Jin and Zi Qing, but also caused some of the spirit demons in the desolation to feel a bit of fear.
"Haha You, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and greet the Exalted One!"
The white-haired old man growled angrily. Haha You and the other demons exchanged glances and transformed into humans without hesitation to greet the Exalted One.
Sitting in the carriage.
Gu Qingfeng crossed his legs and tilted his head slightly. He narrowed his eyes at the white-haired old man and smiled. "Why do you call me Exalted One?"
The white-haired old man replied respectfully, "Exalted One, you are neither an immortal nor a demon. Although you are a human, you are not a mortal. You are a man above men. You are indeed an Exalted One."
"Fufu." Gu Qingfeng asked, "Why don't you tell me why I'm not a mortal? And why am I above men?"
"Please forgive me for being blind. I really can't tell what's so special about you."
"Since you can't tell, how can you be sure that I'm above men?"
"This one is only fearful, fearful because of fear."
"Fearful …" Gu Qingfeng shook his head and smiled faintly. "Exalted One … Fufu, you don't say. It sounds pretty refreshing."
In Gu Qingfeng's impression, the word 'Exalted One' could only be seen in ancient books.
That was because although there were 3,000 Great Daos, human Dao had long fallen. In the eyes of the Great Dao, humans were nothing more than ants.
Since they were ants, how could they be called Exalted One?
There were only immortals, demons, and demons.
Of course.
After countless years, there would always be a few extraordinary people in every era. These people were neither immortals, devils, demons, nor Buddhas. They did not belong to any Great Dao. Although they were mortals, they were extraordinary. Such people were known as Sages.
However …
There were only a few Venerable Masters in the past. They were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. They were even rarer than Saints. Gu Qingfeng had only seen records of Venerable Masters in ancient books. He had never seen one, not even once. After living for so long, this was the first time someone had called him Venerable Master.
For some unknown reason.
Hearing someone call him Master, Gu Qingfeng had an indescribable feeling in the depths of his heart. He felt as if he had finally found a place to belong, and that he was finally like a human.
"What's your name again? Gu Tong, right? "Gu Qingfeng asked," Are you the Mountain King of this demonic mountain? "
"No! I'm just an old demon cultivating on this Blackscale Mountain. "
"Then who is your mountain king?"
"Esteemed Lord, our Black Scale Mountain has no king."
"If there is no mountain king, there should be a leader or something, right?"
"Our Black Scale Mountain also has no leader. We cultivate here just to exchange experiences and take care of each other. There's no other meaning."
"Don't misunderstand." Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "You just said that I'm not an immortal or a Buddha, and I'm not a demon. So, I don't know what you're doing on the mountain, and I don't want to know. The reason why I'm here today is that I just want to inquire about something."
The white-haired old man called Gu Tong raised his head and stared at Gu Qingfeng for a while. After pondering for a moment, he stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture. "Esteemed Lord, if you don't mind, you can come to my humble abode for a few drinks."
"Oh, that's great."
"Please."
After Haha and the other demons left, Gu Tong took Gu Qingfeng to the Black Scale Mountain.
The Black Scale Mountain was a mountain range. Many peaks were connected, and Gu Tong lived on the peak of a mountain.
The peak of the mountain was not very big.
There was only an ancient tree growing on the cliff. Under the ancient tree was a very simple looking stone house. Outside the stone house was a pavilion with a stone table and four stone stools in the pavilion.
"Your humble abode is really cold."
Gu Qingfeng thought that the old monster's humble abode would at least be some kind of cave abode. He could tell that with the old monster's ability, it would not be difficult for him to open up a cave abode here. Even if he did not open up a cave abode, he would have at least built a decent manor on the mountain. However, he did not expect that the old monster would live on the peak of the mountain.
"My humble abode is simple and crude. Please excuse me."
"Why don't you open up a cave abode?"
"The space in the Quicksand Secret Realm is not stable. If you live in a cave abode, it will be very dangerous."
"That's true. But even if you don't open up a cave abode, a manor will do."
"It's just cultivation. It doesn't matter where I cultivate."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng laughed involuntarily and said, "Fortunately, this prince knows that you are an old monster. Otherwise, hearing your words, this prince would have thought that you were an immortal-like senior."
"Master, you must be joking. That's not what I meant. It's just that …" Gu Tong was about to explain, but Gu Qingfeng had no interest in listening. He was a wine lover and wanted to try all kinds of wine. Otherwise, he would not have come to this broken place to talk nonsense with an old monster. He immediately interrupted and asked, "Enough, let's not talk nonsense. Aren't we just going to drink a few cups? Where's the wine?"
Gu Tong didn't dare to be negligent. When he raised his hand, a dark red wine flask made of bone jade appeared in his hand, as well as two translucent black jade cups. He first carefully placed the black jade cups in front of Gu Qingfeng, then poured a cup for Gu Qingfeng before pouring a cup for himself.
The wine in the cup was like a purple flame burning on water, like a rose blooming in the dark night. The wine's fragrance wafted out, mellow and rich.
Gu Tong held the cup with both hands and said, "This one will first propose a toast to Master."
Gu Qingfeng nodded. He raised the black jade cup and drank the wine in one gulp. It was soft in the mouth and sweet in the mouth. After drinking it, he felt like he was swimming in a spring under the moonlight. It was quiet and elegant. He asked, "What wine is this? It tastes quite unique."
"This wine is called Tulip."
As he spoke, Gu Tong poured another cup for Gu Qingfeng.
"Tulip?"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the wine in the black jade cup that was like a purple rose blooming in the dark night. He then looked at Gu Tong and asked, "You can't be telling me that you brewed this wine yourself, right?"
"Master is too kind. Even if you gave me a million years, I would not be able to brew such exquisite wine. This Tulip was given to me by a senior."
