Chapter 259: The Cottage in the Pot
Although the picture on the surface of the demon refining pot is not much larger than an ordinary postage stamp, in this subtle picture, not only are there meadows, mountains, forests, lakes and seas, but there is even a simple hut in the center of the picture!
This was the first time that an unnatural object had appeared in the demon refining pot, and this situation was completely unexpected by Xiao Ping, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Xiao Ping couldn't wait to enter the demon refining pot, and sure enough, he saw a hut next to the spring. The cottage is made entirely of natural materials. The walls are made of wood, the window lattices are made of crisp bamboo poles, the roof is made of thatch, and the two wooden doors are hidden, and it is not known whether there is anyone in the tunnel.
Xiao Ping stood in front of the hut, inevitably feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Prior to this, all the terrain in the Demon Refining Pot was clear at a glance in Chapter 259 of the Pot, and there was never any sign that someone might appear. So Xiao Ping has always felt very comfortable when he was in the pot, and he didn't feel scared at all.
This time, however, the situation was different, and the hut was undoubtedly man-made. Since even the house has appeared, where is the person who built the house? Could it be that he is now in the hut? If it is really in the hut, then does he have any ill will towards Xiao Ping? Will it hurt Xiao Ping? Or even threaten his life?
This series of worries flashed through Xiao Ping's mind in an instant, making his heart beat faster involuntarily. Xiao Ping didn't dare to enter the hut rashly, so he hurriedly picked up the shovel used to plant trees next to the spring as a weapon, put the shovel horizontally in front of him, and slowly walked towards the hut.
The closer Xiao Ping is to the hut, the more he can feel its simple and peaceful style. He faintly felt a quiet and peaceful aura blowing over his face, and his nervous mood involuntarily relaxed a lot. At present, Xiao Ping is also relatively confident in his own sensing ability, and since this hut can give him such a feeling, it is obviously not too much danger.
Even so, Xiao Ping still didn't dare to take it too lightly, and still kept his guard cautiously. He gently pushed open the hidden wooden door with a shovel, and finally could see what was going on inside the hut.
Chapter 259 The hut in the pot is divided into three rooms: sitting, middle, and right, and there is a door in the three rooms, and the wooden door is open in the middle room...... Because of the angle, Xiao Ping could only see the room in the middle. The furnishings are very simple, with only a low table. The two futons, with a picture hanging on the wall facing the wooden door, are clearly the halls of the huts.
"Is there anyone?" Xiao Ping, who was standing at the door, asked softly, but he never got an answer. So he raised his voice and said, "I'm in." Don't be nervous, I have no ill will!"
After saying this, Xiao Ping slowly walked into the hut, but there was still no reaction in the house. By this time, he could already see the situation in the two rooms on the left and right, and was sure that it was only an empty room, and there was no one except himself.
This discovery made Xiao Ping secretly relieved. The empty house is naturally the best for him, which means that the space of the demon refining pot still belongs to Xiao Ping alone, and here he can do whatever he wants like before, without having to guard against possible threats at any time. Xiao Ping, who was secretly relieved, leaned against the wall with a shovel and began to carefully observe the new things that appeared in the demon refining pot.
The room on the right is obviously the bedroom. Inside, there is a crisp bamboo bed and two cages made of bamboo strips. However, there was nothing in the cage, which really disappointed Xiao Ping - he thought he could find some magical treasures in the box.
Since there is no one else in this room. Xiao Ping naturally regarded himself as the master here. He sat down on the bamboo bed unceremoniously, and shook it vigorously a few times, and found that the bamboo bed was very secure, and no matter how hard he tried, he did not make the slightest sound. And the bamboo bed also has a magic, although it is only an empty bed, but after sitting on it, it feels very comfortable with moderate hardness and softness, as if it is laid with the best mattress.
"That's good. Xiao Ping patted the bamboo bed and muttered: "In the future, bring the bed quilt in, and you can sleep here!"
However, Xiao Ping is busy every time he enters the demon refining pot, and there are really not many opportunities to sleep in it. So he didn't have much interest in the bedroom, and soon went to the room on the left to see what was going on.
Of the three rooms, the one on the left is the most elegantly furnished. In front of the window is an old table with two upturned heads. There was also a chair in front of the table that also looked very old. There was also a bookshelf in front of the wall on the other side, and several thread-bound books with yellowed paper edges were placed on the bookshelf in a staggered manner, so that Xiao Ping knew at a glance that this was the study.
"Hey, there's a study. Looking at the books on the shelves, Xiao Ping was also a little excited. It's a great discovery to find something with words in this uninhabited demon refining pot, and maybe you can figure out the ins and outs of the demon refining pot through this!
In fact, there are only five books on the shelves, and only one of them has the words "The Art of Health" written on the cover, and the rest don't even have a title. Xiao Ping didn't care too much, picked up the book with the title and couldn't wait to look at it.
However, after opening the book, Xiao Ping was immediately disappointed, and there was not even a single handwriting on the yellowed paper in the book! He carefully turned from the first page to the last page, and finally determined that there was nothing left in the whole book except for the four words on the cover.
"What kind of planes? Xiao Ping muttered dissatisfiedly, unwilling to flip through the other four books.
These four books are even more amazing, there is not a word from the front to the back cover, if it were not very carefully bound, Xiao Ping would really think that this is a blank draft book.
Xiao Ping thought that he could find some clues about the demon refining pot from these books, but now he found that he was just empty joy. Except for one of the five books of Zhilu Dao, which is "the art of health preservation", I still don't know anything about the others.
However, Xiao Ping also knew that there was no word in the book, and someone was definitely deliberately playing tricks on himself, and he must have failed to do something about himself. It is definitely not an ordinary product that can appear in the demon refining pot, and the possibility of someone playing a prank can be ruled out, and it can only be said that these five books are wordless heavenly books at present.
"What went wrong?" Looking at a few wordless books with no content at all, Xiao Ping couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
However, such thinking is destined to be fruitless, and Xiao Ping can't think of a reason even after racking his brains. Fortunately, Xiao Ping has always been a person who can afford to put it down, and since he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he wisely put this problem behind him before he wants to break his head.
Xiao Ping put a few books back to their original positions on the shelves, and then shrugged his shoulders very calmly and said, "Forget it, you will always know the Tao in the future, why should you have trouble with yourself?"
What Xiao Ping didn't know was that it was this xìng grid that helped him escape. In the long history, the demon refining pot has not only met one owner, but several people have also evolved the demon refining pot to the same level as the current Xiao Ping due to various coincidences. These people, like Xiao Ping, were deeply confused because of the wordless heavenly book.
These few people can make the Demon Refining Pot evolve to this extent, and they are all tenacious. Several of them vowed to solve the mystery, but they all ended up in a tragic end of madness because they were too persistent. On the contrary, Xiao Ping'an, who did not seek to understand anything, survived this catastrophe peacefully, which shows that sometimes people must know how to stop in moderation, so that there will be unexpected gains.
There are only three huts in total, and there is not much more to see. Since Xiao Ping decided not to worry about the wordless book anymore, there was no need to continue to stay. He planned to wander around the Demon Refining Pot to see what other changes had taken place in the pot other than the hut that had suddenly appeared.
The first thing Xiao Ping noticed was that the area inside the pot had become larger again, and the plain grassland had an area of about 25 acres. The slope is about the same size as the meadow, and the height has been increased by half, so it can be called a small hill.
Not only did the small tree beside the spring grow another leaf, but also an extra shoot. The leaves of the small tree are already one of Xiao Ping's most valuable treasures, and he is very pleased to have an extra leaf and a bud.
Downstream along the river, which is more than five meters wide at its widest, is a lake with an area of about eight acres. The cattle graze on the meadows by the lake, the breeze sparkles across the lake, and the occasional ripple can be seen on the surface of the water, and it is the pair of swordfish that have contributed so much to Xiao Ping jumping happily on the lake.
Xiao Ping went downstream along the river again, and it didn't take long for him to come to the sea. The width of the beach also increased with the size of the Cauldron, almost a kilometer long. The white and delicate sand stretches outward for more than ten meters, and then slowly submerges into the clear water. A dozen coconut trees have grown tall and dotted this otherwise slightly drab sandy beach.
The sea surface has expanded from the original tens of meters to a width of hundreds of meters, and Xiao Ping still used the old method to hold a big stone and walk on the bottom of the sea. It soon became clear that the deepest part of the sea was more than ten meters deep, and it became more and more unfathomable to the taste of the sea. Because the sea has just opened, the sluggish abalone and pearl oysters have not yet appeared in the deepest depths, but the corals and seaweed are thriving.
Xiao Ping also found that there were some unknown small fish in the sea, swimming together in groups, adding a bit of life to the originally slightly empty sea. Xiao Ping even saw an eel swimming past him, chasing the small fish for food. Watching the eel's nimble figure flash in the water, Xiao Ping couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, his original worries had become a reality.
It's a good thing that the area inside the pot is getting more and more natural, but it also brings some troubles - it's getting harder and harder to control the animals kept in it. Cattle on land are easy to control, but saury, eels, abalone, and pearl oysters are difficult to keep in the water. But at the moment, Xiao Ping really has no good way, only to take a step at a time in the future.
After walking around the newly expanded demon refining pot, Xiao Ping quickly left, there were still many things to deal with in the pasture in the next few days, and he had to rest early to nourish his gods. !!!
