Lingnan Province, Chaohai City, is a well-known food hometown in China. Chaohai cuisine, accompanied by Chaohai people who go out, has spread to all over the world and is widely known.

Qin Xu's father, Qin Zhengyang, has five generations of ancestors, all of whom are authentic Chaohai people. Unlike fellow villagers who like to go out to work hard, Qin Zhengyang nests in his old territory and lives a comfortable and comfortable life in the market.

The only thing that Qin Zhengyang is different from his parents is that in the first year of work, he found a northern girl who was taller and stronger than himself. After Qin Xu's mother Liu Amei graduated from high school, she left the old forest in Northeast China and went to work in Chaohai City.

Therefore, Qin Xu's clothing, food, housing and transportation since he was a child were a blend of the north and south of China.

The residence of Qin Xu's family is located in a three-story blue brick house in the old area of Dongcheng District, Chaohai City, which has not yet been demolished.

This is the old ancestral house of the Qin family, which was originally the layout of the ancient buildings of Chaohai, with moss steps, begonias in the corners, and lotus pots that receive water. Later, Tian Ding, his children and grandchildren became a family, and Qin Xu's grandfather spent effort to build a two-story building, as well as a small attic-like top floor.

Today, three generations of the Qin family live here.

Every day when the sky is just gray, you can see Qin Xu's grandparents and grandparents, who are more than eighty years old, smiling and holding hands, going to the old porridge shop nearby, drinking a bowl of mellow raw pork liver porridge, and then taking a leisurely walk to the street park.

The habits of the Qin family's grandparents have not changed since they retired, except for typhoon days.

Go out, turn right, less than 200 meters, is the old market of Chaohai City, which has been lively since the early hours of the morning.

In the old dialect of Haixi Province, which is next door to Chaohai City, it is a place full of ancient flavor.

A small street, covered with fresh ingredients from Chaohai people from morning to night, as well as authentic snacks and food, is the favorite market of residents in this neighborhood.

There are also many veteran foodies who will visit here to find small shops in the neighborhood and taste the most authentic Chaohai delicacies.

On the way home for Qin Xu and his mother, they inevitably met the greetings of the old neighbors.

"Oh, has your Xiaoxu been discharged from the hospital?" A silver-haired grandmother carrying a basket of old vegetables grabbed Liu Amei, looked at Qin Xu from head to toe, and asked with concern.

Without waiting for Qin Xu and Liu Amei to answer, she continued like a cannon: "Xiao Xu, I know that you young people love to fight, but we are from here, and we still have to take care of our bodies when we are young, by the way, Ah Mei, I mentioned to you my niece and granddaughter last time......

Qin Xu stood behind Liu Amei, and saw that the neighbor Grandma Zhang, who had stuffed snacks for him since he was a child, was less than the height of his mother's shoulders, but she was full of aura and mouthful, and described her relative's daughter from height to occupation, from temperament to hobbies, concisely and vividly, worthy of being Qin Xu's father's political teacher in the past.

Finally, when Grandma Zhang was reluctant to leave with the vegetable basket, Qin Xu and his mother Liu Amei breathed a sigh of relief, immediately raised their feet, and rushed home.

"Sister, Qin Xu has been discharged from the hospital, when did you start making dumplings? My grandson likes to eat your cabbage and pork dumplings, when will you start to do it, and reserve three catties for me." ”

"Xiao Xu, you're back, your grandparents have been worried about it during this time, and your appetite is not good!"

“......”

The characteristic of the old street is that the neighbors are acquaintances from three generations to the top, and the people they meet along the way can't help but say a few words to Qin Xu, who has just been discharged from the hospital.

Finally returned to the old house, Liu Amei subconsciously wiped the thin sweat on her forehead, and said to her son: "Just discharged from the hospital, you go back to the house to rest, what you want to eat at noon, Mom will cook it for you." ”

Liu Amei, who was born in a famine year, the best way to express concern for her son is to get a bunch of delicious food.

It's a pity that since Qin Xu joined the work, Qin Xu, who squatted in the police station all the year round to eat instant noodles and fast food, could only carry a big bag of meat buns or dumplings at breakfast time and sigh on the way to work.

Her son was on vacation due to an accident, and Liu Amei couldn't help but want to make out a table full of food and stuff it all into her son's stomach.

"Don't, Mom, just make a bowl of noodles, I don't eat much. Qin Xu said hello and went straight to his room.

As soon as Qin Xu closed the door, he heard a thin sigh.

"Alas, the old decay is not lucky, and he actually followed the white bones of the divine beast and entered such a world with thin aura, and the mortals who watched it, but forty or fifty years, his blood turned into a loss, and he was already faltering at the age of seventy, alas, it was really sad and lamentable, fortunately, the immortal beast sect inheritance carried by the old decay was learned by the disciples of the outer sect, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain to take charge of the effort. I hope that the senior uncles and brothers can inherit the core of this sect and carry it forward in other worlds......" Lao Qin hugged the rabbit, flew from Qin Xu's shoulder to the window, leaned on the old-fashioned windowsill, sighed, and became verbose.

Qin Xu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this little baby's serious appearance.

After Lao Qin sighed, he turned to see Qin Xu with a smile on his face, and suddenly his tender little face showed a "naughty" grandfather's expression, and Qin Xu was suddenly amused by this little expression full of disobedience.

However, the five-hundred-year-old Qin Ancestor was sad, but he still dutifully supervised Qin Xu's cultivation of the basic exercises of the Immortal Beast Gate.

"I don't know how you have been practicing the beginner exercises in the past few days, but do you want the help of the old man?" Lao Qin touched the ears of the yellow rabbit in his arms, jumped to Qin Xu's left shoulder again, the height of a small figure, stared at Qin Xu with round eyes, and asked seriously.

Qin Xu always felt that it was not his own illusion, this ancestor's gaze seemed to be there, as if it stayed on his earlobe from time to time.

"Eh, haha, that," Qin Xu's desire to survive was instantly stimulated, and he quickly found a question to divert Lao Qin's attention, "Lao Qin, is this fat rabbit in your hand your natal beast?"

Qin Xu had just finished asking, and suddenly his earlobe seemed to have been pricked by a thin needle, and the pain made him gasp coldly.

"Qin boy, although you and I don't have the name of master and apprentice, but we have the reality of being a professor, the Immortal Beast Sect respects the teacher, no matter what, you have to call the old master Qin. Lao Qin withdrew his fingers, which were not much bigger than rice grains, put his hand into the long yellow miscellaneous hair of the fat rabbit, and said solemnly.

“...... Old Master Qin......"

"Lao Huang is indeed the natal beast of the old decay, the beast soul and the decay are interdependent, the decay qualifications are dull, it is difficult to become a great weapon, I wanted to accompany Lao Huang to the old age, and the soul returned to the ancestral land of the fairy beast gate, but I didn't want the sect to suffer a big change, with the state of the soul, came to this world, and Lao Huang also came with me. ”

Qin Xu, who is accustomed to speaking honestly, always feels very awkward when he communicates with Lao Qin.

However, I can understand it.

Lao Qin recalled the past for a long time, and finally turned the topic back to Qin Xu, his eyes fell on the roots of Qin Xu's somewhat reddened ears, and said: "Speaking of which, the Immortal Beast Sect's disciple's search for the natal beast is the core of cultivation. Some people have just entered the court, and they have met the natal beast, and some people have been looking for a hundred years, but they have not yet found a suitable natal beast, in addition to cultivation, you must search for it with all your heart, and you must not slack off. ”

"Especially in this realm, the spiritual energy is lacking, and the assistance of the natal beast is becoming more and more crucial. ”

After listening to Lao Qin's advice, Qin Xu really wanted to know which creature on the earth would become his natal beast.

"Also, now that you are an official and a fast catcher, there are many miscellaneous things, which will inevitably delay your cultivation, so you still have to get rid of this matter as soon as possible and focus on the Immortal Beast Sect inheritance exercises......"

As Lao Qin spoke, he mentioned Qin Xu's work, and his words were full of dissatisfaction.

Lao Qin has lived in the Immortal Beast Sect since he was a child, cultivating the Immortal Sect, and naturally does not let go of mortal things, Qin Xu's profession, in Lao Qin's opinion, is an obstacle to delay his cultivation.

"If you delay any longer, after a hundred years, the Sea of Consciousness will no longer be able to withstand the inheritance of the Immortal Beast Sect, and will eventually become white bones and rotten flesh, dissipating heaven and earth. Old Qin Ancestor innocently used the most severe and terrifying way he knew to urge Qin Xu to practice hard.

"......" Qin Xu was silent.

Aha?

In other words, he didn't have to worry about his life being killed early because of insufficient cultivation.

If there is a crisis that will only come after a hundred years, I will not worry about it.

In Huang Zhenghao's words, it is a blessing to be able to retire smoothly and steadily when he enters the police industry.

Thinking about the Huaguo police who died in the line of duty in three days and died suddenly from overwork, Qin Xu felt that he could earn money by jumping alive at the age of seventy or eighty.

Lao Qin probably didn't expect that he felt that he could scare Qin Xu and make him work hard, but he helped the scumbag untie the shackles.

Oh, there's no need to study all those weird tricks.

Qin Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
