Chapter 284: Daily Cultivation and Painstaking Practice
Hearing the old man say this, I was a little curious, and hurriedly said, "What task?"
The old man knocked me on the head and scolded: "Curiosity kills the cat, you don't know, do you?
This old man's temper is getting bigger and bigger day by day, but every time he still speaks reasonably, I don't even have a chance to fight back.
After listening to the old man's instructions, I began to practice penance for five days, shuttling between the mountains and forests every day, and there were my footprints in every corner, and after I became familiar with the structure of the mountains and forests, I tried to go to the other three places in the four directions, but the old man did not allow it, saying that the other three places were full of dangers, and I was afraid that I would be in danger in the past.
As soon as the old man said this, I didn't ask much, and continued to practice in the forest with peace of mind, since I learned this ape demon step, I almost became the overlord in the mountains and forests, and every day I went to harass the group of social monkeys while practicing, when they were angry and tried to find me desperately, I had already flashed to the point where I didn't know, and when they put down the guys, thinking that everything was fine, I would suddenly appear to continue to harass them, and I tortured them so much that if they weren't in a good state of mind, I even had some doubts that they would have a collective seppuku๏ผ
There are many strange beasts in the mountains and forests, not only the three-eyed ape and the steel-maned pig, but also the delicious Qishang flying fish in the river, the Santon river crab with a huge clip, and the phoenix-tailed chicken in the mountain forest, the long howling leopard, etc., but their combat effectiveness can be negligible, the strongest combat effectiveness in the entire mountain forest is only the steel-maned pig, but I rarely meet them these days, this group of wild boars is like hiding, of course, they are hiding not afraid of me, but afraid of the old man!
Because judging from the food arrangement of me and the old man in the last few days, we have eaten several steel-maned pigs.
In addition to this strange beast, there are more rare immortal herbs in the mountains and forests, and I have been to the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven and I once thought that the medicinal materials collected by the Emperor of Heaven are unique in this world, but compared with this mountain forest, the difference is not a star and a half.
A casual flower and plant in the mountains and forests can be comparable to the most precious Ganoderma lucidum ginseng in the yang world, which is like coming to the fairyland with the Seven Spirit Kings in my body, eating a lot of medicinal materials to improve the spiritual power value, and these medicinal materials do not have to be afraid of eating empty at all, every time there is one less plant, it will immediately grow another plant, but the spiritual power value that is improved by eating these medicinal materials is too little, otherwise if I stay here for a year and a half, I will definitely be a hegemon when I go out!
Today I was holding a anchovy chicken in my hand, and in the other hand I was holding a basket of fairy grass that the old man had asked me to pick back, and when I returned to the shore, I saw that the old man was rolling up his trouser legs and touching the fish in the river, I smiled and said to the old man: "Old man, have you touched it?" Do you want me to help?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Lao Tzu still needs your help?"
After speaking, with a wave of his hand, a fresh breeze blew across the river, and a three-pound Qi Shangfei fish jumped out of the river, along with several Santun river crabs.
The old man grabbed the fish and carried the crab, looked at me with a smile and said, "You brought back all the things you wanted?"
I smiled and nodded, "Of course, let's get started." โ
The old man took the anchovy chicken in my hand and began to disembowel, today the old man said that he was already tired of eating roast pork for so many days, and he was going to get me a big meal today, so let me go find so many ingredients and come back.
After cleaning up the anchovy chicken, the old man began to pour the fairy grass I got back again, added water to a casserole, poured in the fairy grass he had sorted, and at the same time pressed the anchovy chicken into the casserole, and began to stew.
After finishing here, the old man began to pour crabs again. Fish, in this process, I wanted to help, but the old man stopped stunned, said that if I was free, I would stand next to him and follow him to study, and when I learned to go back and get my two daughters-in-law to eat, when I heard the old man's words, I couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness, I don't know how deep the old man's feelings for his mother-in-law were, but on the day of his mother-in-law's death, the old man such a cynical person actually fell into a collapse, after the death of his mother-in-law, he never seemed to take the initiative to mention my mother-in-law again, this is not that he has forgotten, but he may be afraid to mentionใ
After pouring for almost two hours, the old man's masterpiece is finally out of the pot, the chicken soup stewed by the anchovy chicken is full of fragrance, the old man uses this chicken soup and adds some spices and fairy grass to make a bright red hot pot base, and then puts the most delicious place in the whole chicken into the pot to season, and the stone table also places the old man's cut fish fillet, the meat slices of the steel-bristled pig, and all kinds of edible fairy herbs, plus a few stewed red three crabs, the ingredients used in this meal, I am afraid that the emperor has not eaten it.
The old man was stunned when he saw me looking at the dishes, and beckoned to me, "What are you doing in a daze? โ
I smiled and walked over and sat down, and then said, "Old man, I really didn't expect that you looked crazy all day, and I never thought that this cooking skill was first-class!"
The old man took a piece of pork, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Haha, this is called a real person who does not show his face, can you cook a rabbit cub?"
I shook my head and said, "Of course not, the food I have eaten since I was a child is my mother-in-law......"
When I said this, I suddenly found that I was a little speechless, and I was busy looking at the old man's expression, but the old man's expression did not change at all, but continued with my words: "You rabbit cub was born with a good fate, and I haven't eaten her cooking a few times." โ
For fear of arousing the old man's heart, I hurriedly shut up, took a piece of fish fillet and brushed it into the pot, until the fragrant red pot was boiled, and the thick soup was boiled, and the fish fillet was cooked just right. As soon as I put it in my mouth, all kinds of fresh and spicy sensations spread all over my taste buds, swallowing it in my stomach and the same as the meat of the steel-maned pig I ate before, turning into various small molecules and pouring into my whole body, because there are too many mixed fairy grasses and raw materials, this time it is not only the strength that has been improved, but even the spiritual power value and muscle and bone value have also been improved to a certain extent.
I smiled and said to the old man: "This place is really a fairyland, birds, fish, insects and beasts, wild flowers and weeds are actually treasures, and this place is far away from worldly disputes, and there are no mundane things, not so much that the place where the Emperor is located is the fairy world, but that this is the real fairy world!"
The old man smiled and said: "I like it so much, then when you go out, you will sweep away the Earth Immortal Alliance, take your two daughters-in-law and children back here, and live a life that is indisputable and just right." โ
I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Sweeping the Earth Immortal Alliance?" โ
The old man took out a wine bottle, filled it with two glasses, and said to me, "Then do you remember what you were doing when you first investigated the Earth Immortal Alliance?"
I lifted the wine in front of me, drank it all, a spicy spicy surging all over my body, and I smiled: "Originally, I was to be a handsome man!"
The old man continued, "Did that happen?"
I smiled bitterly and said: "It should be a deviation, I never thought that the involvement of the Earth Immortal Alliance would be so extensive, and at the same time, I didn't expect that a demon organization could shake the rule of the Three Realms, although I didn't become a Yin Shuai, but I accidentally became the generalissimo of the Immortal Realm." โ
The old man waved his hand and said, "Since the goal has been deviated, why don't you stop." โ
I shook my head with a smile and said, "Stop? How to stop? To put it more lofty, this matter is related to the safety of the Three Realms, as a member of the Three Realms, whether it is out of responsibility and obligation, I have to take care of it, to put it selfishly, that old dog Xuanyuan killed my mother-in-law, I don't break him into ten thousand pieces! How can I be worthy of my mother-in-law, plus that Chiyu wants to get rid of me with a specific surname, how can I just accept my fate?"
The old man clapped his hands and said: "Well said, in fact, have you noticed that everyone's goal will be unusually clear from the beginning, but when they are moving, they will slowly become blurred and deviate!"
I nodded, "That's true, but what can you do if you know? Who can stop it? Who can change it?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Things may change that people can't stop, but one thing we can guarantee is that we ourselves will not change!"
The old man's words made me a little confused, and I looked at the old man and said, "What do you mean?"
The old man suddenly laughed, this laughter seemed to uncover a dusty past, and then said: "I have lived for so long, I have seen too much, I know too much, and the people I interact with are immortals, ghosts, demons, There are demons, but all of them are in the bumps of the years, slowly changed themselves, the once innocent has become ruthless, the once calm and righteous into dark and ugly, whenever I ask them why they have become like this, they always say that the heavens are not benevolent is that the heavens and the earth are sorry for them, and they do not change how to deal with the world. โ
I then said, "So where are these people now?"
The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "Ashes, whether it is against the sky or low in mana, when I find out that they have changed their original intentions and become the people who do great things in other people's mouths, their destruction will be closer and closer to them." โ
I shook my head and said, "Speaking of this, I remembered the voice that scolded us during the catastrophe that day, saying that I have no city with you, and I can't grasp the opportunity. โ
The old man smiled: "He always thinks that his so-called change and growth can help people run rampant in the Three Realms and become the king, but he has never thought about why the guardian saints of Huaxia in the past dynasties have fallen in less than a hundred years, but in my generation, they have existed for so long." โ
