550. Food is the sky, and the Dharma is enlightened
It's almost dusk, what is it going down the mountain for? Cheng Tianle walked out of the cave and saw that it had been running into the jungle. When the snow returned, the wind began to blow outside the cave again, and soon there was a strong wind and snow. It had a number of twigs in its hands, and fresh ripe berries were bearing on them. It is an omnivore that not only eats meat but also loves to eat these fruits.
When it entered the hole, it saw that the strips of dried beef had been packed in a large mesh bag. This pocket is bigger than the canvas bag that migrant workers put on the rolls, and it was woven after going out to pick rattan and grass stems and refining them with a little mana. Daxue put down the large pile of branches, picked up his pocket and carried it on his shoulder like a human, and walked a few steps around in the hole, looking very happy, and then looked at Cheng Tianle's eyes full of gratitude.
Cheng Tianle waved his hand and said: "Put it down, don't go out now, you don't have to carry it on your back all the time." β
Daxue put down his pocket, picked a few of the largest wild fruits from the pile of fresh branches, and respectfully placed them in front of Cheng Tianle, Zi Hao, Sheng Long and others, it turned out that they were invited to eat. Then he pointed to the fresh fruits that were still hanging on the branches, and then to the processed dried beef strips, his eyes full of inquiring.
If you can process meat, can you also process berries? Heavy snow also knew that the berries could not be treated in the same way, and if you slapped them with a stone, they would definitely rot and the delicious juice would run out. This is a difficult problem, Cheng Tianle frowned and thought about it, then smiled and said: "You are a studious guy, I will sue you for a way, your talent and supernatural powers can be used, it depends on your skills." β
Speak your way in. Cheng Tianle said how to deal with these berries, and the trick in this area is that the snow will be heard as soon as he hears it. It excitedly picked all those berries and put them in a stone mortar in the wind and snow outside the cave entrance, and stood in the wind and snow and began to cast spells, even Cheng Tianle in the cave could feel a deep chill condensing.
Sheng Long and Zi Hao looked curiously at what tricks Daxue was playing? I saw that the fog around the stone mortar quickly condensed into frost, and a small stone cracked next to it, which was cracked because of the sharp cooling and cold contraction on the surface. Cheng Tianle shouted: "Heavy snow, you slow down, cast spells steadily, this is not a fight." It's refining medicine. β
What kind of medicine is it refining? The berries, of course. I saw that those fresh fruits gradually dried up, and the frost formed on the surface was constantly removed by the mana of the heavy snow, and in the end, the volume was at least several times smaller, and the amount became light. It's dry and crisp, but it still retains its original shape and color.
Sheng Long asked in wonder, "What kind of spell is this, and what kind of elixir is refining?" β
Cheng Tianle said with a smile: "This is ultra-low temperature freeze-drying technology, which just happens to be able to use its natural powers, and it also happens to have the help of the wind and snow that has suddenly cooled down." As for the processed elixir, of course, it is freeze-dried and fresh-keeping fruit, you should have seen it when you went to the supermarket, right? β
Sheng Long: "Of course I have seen it, and there are freeze-dried sea cucumbers!" β¦β¦ Mr. Cheng, you are really creative, and you actually taught it to use natural powers to handle berries like this. β¦β¦ This stupid big guy can learn it as soon as he learns! β
Cheng Tianle: "The people take food as the sky." Life is also based on food. It's instinctive. If you want to teach it something, it's the easiest way to use it. β
Zi Hao nodded and agreed: "Well, that makes sense!" The same is true of the circus monkey training. β
After processing those freeze-dried and dehydrated fresh berries, the heavy snow was a little tired, and the energy was extremely exhausted. But the love xΓΉ was very excited. It put those freeze-dried berries in its pocket, and then looked at the wind and snow outside the cave entrance with some eagerness, as if it wanted to go out hunting or picking fruit, not hungry. Rather, I wanted to try the new means.
Cheng Tianle said again: "Heavy snow, you are tired all day, sit down and rest." Dried beef and berries don't need to be processed so much at one time, and it is tiring to carry a lot on your back, just enough to eat for a few days. β¦β¦ Listen up, can you take us somewhere? β
The wind and snow started again, and it was already dark, and Cheng Tianle stayed in this cave for a whole day and night. Tonight's winds are stronger than yesterday, but the wind has been slower to intensify from the time it appeared to the time it intensified, and it was also half an hour later than yesterday. This basin is very large, and the situation is unknown, so there are certainly many advantages to being able to subdue a demon beast that lives here as a guide.
Cheng Tianle Ken patiently watched the heavy snow toss for a day and a night, and taught it to process all kinds of dry food, in fact, it was to let the heavy snow be eaten on the road. There are still nearly 100 miles to go from here to the valley where Luolei Gold is produced, although Cheng Tianle knows the general direction, but what has happened here in the past five hundred years, and what unknown dangers are hidden, these conditions are not fully understood.
To take the simplest example, there was a slight difference in the time of the storm yesterday and this evening, and the violent course was not the same, is there a similar storm every night, and if you walk on the road, where can you take shelter? All of this requires a guide.
Of course, Daxue could understand this sentence, and looked at Cheng Tianle and nodded very seriously. Cheng Tianle said again: "Where we are going, on the other side of the basin, you can show us the best path." The general direction and rumbling thunder in the mind were accompanied by the characteristics of the place where the heavy snow was located.
Daxue looked frightened, shook his head and waved his hand at Cheng Tianle and let out a low whining sound, obviously it knew that place, and its impression was very terrifying, it didn't dare to go and persuaded Cheng Tianle not to go. Cheng Tianle smiled and reassured: "Don't be afraid, since I'm here, of course I have the ability to go in, just to find something." As for you, you don't need to go in with me, just lead the way to the place and wait outside. β
Daxue hesitated, but finally nodded and agreed to this mention, still talking for a long time, although he didn't understand what it meant, he could guess that it was describing the horror of that place. Even a powerful demon beast like Daxue didn't dare to approach that weird and terrifying valley lightly.
As soon as the sun rose the next day, they left the cave and set off. Daxue picked up the net bag with beef strips and dried fruits, and looked at the yak horn hanging on the wall, wanting to take it off and take it with him. This monster beast already has some awareness of "belongings", and since it has left here, it has to pack up the softness, but the only belongings that can be taken away in the cave are the decorative yak horns.
Heavy snow should have hunted a lot of yaks, and yesterday he brought back a one that was processed into beef jerky, why did he want to leave this pair of horns, because it is indeed a good thing, and even Cheng Tianle feels that the quality is extraordinary. This pair of yak horns is particularly large, the arc is also particularly beautiful, the surface is smooth and the color is like jade, the physical properties are peculiar and pure, it is a very special artifact in itself, if it is carefully refined with mana, maybe it can be refined into a magic weapon.
Daxue obviously has a sense of this aspect, and it must have taken a lot of effort to hunt this yak, so he deliberately kept it to decorate the cave. Cheng Tianle waved his hand and said: "It's not moving, it's going out for a few days, no one will steal your baby in this kind of place, and it can't be eaten!" It's too much trouble, so let's stay here. If you're not at ease, dig a pit and hide it. β
Daxue really dug a deep pit in the rocks, buried the yak horns, and put a few big stones on the top, and ordinary people couldn't move them at all, so they left with confidence. Zi Hao whispered: "Senior brother, although that yak horn is not a magic weapon yet, its texture is particularly tough, and it may be its weapon." β
Cheng Tianle replied in the Yuan Shen: "Then you have to be able to use it, the magic weapon is not hung on the wall to see." β
After the wind and waves are calm, the lake in the plateau basin is very beautiful, and the blue is seen in the distance, this is a hundred miles of isolated wilderness, I don't know how many unknown plants grow, and there are birds and animals scattered among them. Cheng Tianle didn't want to disturb them too much, and still walked along the hillside at the edge of the basin, which is also the road led by the heavy snow.
Cheng Tianle remembered the storms of the past two days, and asked Daxue on the road: "Is it often windy here?" β
Heavy Snow nodded.
Cheng Tianle: "Is the wind in the evening?" β
Heavy Snow nodded again.
Cheng Tianle: "Every day, is it?" β
Daxue was a little confused, as if in thought, and then shook his head.
The conversation between Cheng Tianle and Daxue is very interesting, like a guessing game of nodding and shaking his head, and in the end, he finally asked some clues. It is true that there are frequent strong winds, and the strongest winds can even blow heavy snow. Because it was still jumping on the ground when it answered, as if it was being blown up by the wind.
In the summer, the evening winds usually rise from the middle of the lake, and the winds become stronger the farther you go, and become extremely violent at the top of the mountain, which is close to the foot of the mountain. The time of the wind is uncertain, usually around sunset, and the law of mastering it is to sense the change in temperature. If there is a sudden large temperature difference, it is a sign that a strong wind is about to rise.
This answer seems simple, but it took a lot of effort for Cheng Tianle to make Daxue understand the concept of temperature, and then asked for these explanations. Cheng Tianle also understood why the big lake was surrounded by lush jungle, but near the shore of the lake was a gravel beach with no grass, because of the crashing of the waves in summer.
Liu Yanghe obviously didn't know much about these situations, and when he came here last summer, he chose to camp on the shore of the lake with a campfire, only to be slapped into it by a sudden wave that rolled up. It's just a pity that Liu Yanghe's kung fu is also very good, and he was not swept away by the surge.
Cheng Tianle is not only asking about the various situations in the heavy snow area, but also teaching him to understand various concepts contained in his words. They didn't walk very fast at the edge of the basin, because they had to pass through a lot of rugged terrain, and Cheng Tianle couldn't just walk quickly, not only to keep his body properly but also to take care of the heavy snow. Heavy snow runs very fast, not much slower than Cheng Tianle who walks at full speed, but if you want to run at high speed continuously, it is impossible to keep up with Cheng Tianle all day.
