Chapter 617: Master's Mallet
"Why did Xuanjian leave the place where it had lived for so long?" asked Lin Ji puzzled.
"This proves that there is something or someone that it likes more than coziness. The old man said with a smile.
"No one knows the secret of Xuanjian, even I can only know one or two of them, there are too many places in this world that we don't know, people we don't know, things we don't know are appearing, happening, happening. But you just have to remember that it is enough to practice with your heart. The old man stood up and gently brushed away a trace of mist that had crept in from nowhere in the grass pavilion. The figure is a little rickety.
Lin Ji's eyes turned red.
As usual, he started to cook, and the master liked to drink wine and eat sauced beef the most, and although the sauced beef he made was not the best, it was definitely the best one among the brothers on the mountain.
The stove had obviously not been used for a long time, and it was even covered with a faint layer of dust, Lin Ji first blew the dust clean with his essence before starting to cook.
The firewood gradually became stronger. The beef in the pot began to turn white, and the aroma gradually spread throughout the mountain screen, for some reason, this time the aroma seemed to attract the animals on the left and right of the mountain, including the two old hens of the elder brother on the mountainside, a big white goose, and a kitten, as well as the old cow, all came to the mountain screen.
Fortunately, there are still these animals on this mountain, and they can accompany the master. Lin Ji looked at these small animals approaching the stove and smiled gratefully.
These animals have been cultivated by the rich essence of Youxian Mountain, and they are naturally countless times smarter than ordinary animals, and even their bodies are larger than ordinary animals, especially the big white goose, which has almost grown to the place where Lin Ji's neck is.
The beef was finally cooked, but not to the point where it was edible.
After Lin Ji cleaned up the water in the iron pot, he picked up countless seasonings and threw them into the pot.
After a few simple stir-fries. With the addition of water, the whole piece of beef was cut into small pieces and placed in the water. That's when it comes to the sauce process.
The beef with good sauce is even more fragrant, and the old cow who should only eat wild grass actually looked at the stove and left a large pool of saliva.
The boiled beef in sauce was cut very thin by Lin Ji, he knew that the master was only willing to eat the thin ones, but for those animals, he threw the beef out whole.
The animals that were supposed to only eat grass actually started to rob like crazy, and what surprised Lin Ji the most was that the old scalper ate the meat of his own kind, and he actually relished it, and his eyes were like a vicious drunkard, Lin Ji was even asking him if he gave him a jar of good wine, he would not hesitate to drink it all for him.
Lin Ji respectfully put the two urns of new wine beside the old man, and then put the extremely thin beef beside the old man.
The old man patted the spring mud wine urn, took a sip very happily, and said, "Actually, when I was as young as you, I was just like you. ”
Lin Ji looked at his face and couldn't determine the specific age of the old man, so when was he young? How many years ago?
"Who did you want to protect?" he asked curiously.
The old man put the wine urn on the small table next to the chair, looked at the dense branches in front of the terrace, and said: "My mother is my father's third concubine, my father died when I was eight years old, and then the clan did not tolerate it, and my mother took me out of the old house, and I lived a very hard life, and I was bullied by the world. ”
"So when I have the ability to kill, the first thing I want to do is to go back to the old house and kill all the old women and relatives who used to bully our mother and son, and then go and dig up my father's grave and break his bones and dust him. ”
It is said that the most cruel thing in the world is to kill people and set fire to destroy the household, but the old man's expression is very calm and gentle, at this time he is not like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, but like a child lying on the top of the haystack, with white clouds floating on his childish face, telling those long past events.
Lin Ji looked at the old man silently, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Did you kill it?"
The old man's slender index finger tapped lightly on the wine urn of Taishang, making a crisp but not thin sound, just like the sound of the tablet falling on the ground in the quiet ancestral hall of the old mansion.
He looked at Lin Ji and smiled and said, "I won't tell you." ”
Lin Ji was speechless, thinking to himself that you are so old, why are you still so stingy.
"The person I wanted to protect has since died. ”
The old man was silent for a moment and then continued: "I killed them, but there was no thrill of revenge. ”
Lin Ji smiled slightly and said, "I understand what the master means." ”
Lin Ji didn't pay attention to the old man's expression, staggered over, took the initiative to pick up a pot of new wine and pat it open the sealing mud, then poured wine into his mouth, and said, "So I have to pay attention to all the things that can bring danger to them, and there is no problem with that." ”
The night breeze was blowing, the old man sat up straight and stared at Lin Ji, it was becoming more and more difficult to suppress the anger in his heart because of this guy's stupidity and confusion, and his slender palm clenched the back of the chair, as if if something didn't happen again, he would slap Lin Ji's head directly.
Lin Ji was already drunk at this time, where could he pay attention to these details, pouring wine into his stomach on the one hand, and expressing his sigh of life on the other.
There was a muffled thud.
The laughter came to an abrupt end.
Lin Ji covered his forehead and looked at the old man in front of him in shock and confusion.
The old man held a small wooden stick in his hand, although there was not much pain in hitting him, but his voice was very loud, looking at him and saying angrily: "You kid, I want you to concentrate on cultivation, you are good." ”
"Master, I was wrong. Lin Ji blushed suddenly, what kind of wine is this, he was a little drunk after drinking, thinking of his embarrassment just now, he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, so that he could get better.
The old man frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything about it, but suddenly said: "Whether your city can be defended or not is now a matter of the reputation of Xianshan, you kid give me some attention." The old man sighed again, and said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"Yes, yes, yes. Thinking of Gu Yu's appearance in Canghai City, he naturally knew what the master meant, Lin Ji's old face turned red, and he hurriedly added another plate of sauced beef that had bottomed out on the stone platform.
The old man gently chewed the sauced beef, then closed his eyes in enjoyment, and suddenly frowned and said, "The sauced beef this time is not delicious." ”
Lin Ji shuddered in his heart and asked, "What's the difference?"
"It's big, so cook it a little lightly next time. ”
"The disciple knows. Lin Ji grinned and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The atmosphere of Youxian Mountain has become more or less harmonious, and the heavy rain in the world has slowed down the rhythm of the real world, but this Youxian Mountain is still full of fairy energy as usual.
Lin Ji used this stolen time to stay on Youxian Mountain for nearly five days, cooking and making tea for the old man, grinding ink for him, feeding chickens and geese when he was busy, and rubbing the old man's sore shoulders. But it all made him happy.
He found an extremely interesting thing on Youxian Mountain, that is, the animals on the mountain did not eat grass. Now he is so extravagant that he only eats the herbs in the Hundred Herb Garden, and he still eats them with picks, which makes those auction houses in the world know that such a violent thing has appeared, and they may be scratching their hearts and livers.
Half a month after the heavy rain stopped. The world has returned to its proper state, but all the bankers have been destroyed, and the major empires and powers can only survive on the food accumulated before. In such a stormy time, it is clear that something is going to be a big problem.
And the first problem was the rebel army of the Buddha Kingdom.
