Chapter 360: Jade Spirit
Chen Qiuniang's hands were stunned, thinking of the past, he seemed to be such a person.
"You, why are you blind?" As he spoke, he was about to turn around, but Chen Qiuniang was tying the waist seal, and immediately shouted, "I haven't dressed it yet, don't turn it around."
"Okay, okay, don't get excited." Zhang Ci waved the reed flower in his hand and said, "Anyway, you should hurry up, otherwise you can only eat dry food for dinner." ”
"Uh, how are you? Since you came to clean up the residence here, you don't know how to stew a small piece of game before going out? Chen Qiuniang counted Zhang Ci while getting dressed, but her mood was inexplicably much better than before. Although, there will still be another one in her heart that she jumped out to warn: be alert, be alert, don't say anything, you believe it. Although it is a life that has traveled through time, it is also a life, and it should not be improper.
"How do you know I didn't stew a small ding? I tell you, I stewed a pheasant, using the dried mushrooms we asked for at the farmhouse in Xiangzhou, and added some camellia fruits. Zhang Ci said.
"What, you stew into this too? Can I eat it? Chen Qiuniang looked at the camellia fruit next to her, a small bunch, like coral beads. When she was a child, she often went up to the mountains to pick snacks, and the sour ones were sour in her mouth, and the unripe ones still had a bitter taste, and the taste was not delicious. So much so that when she is abroad, she basically won't consider these wild fruits in her dishes, so as not to disturb the taste and turn it into a dark dish.
Zhang Ci took it for granted and said: "Choose a big and thoroughly cooked one, and put it in the compartment above the small ding, saying that it is stewed, but it is actually steamed." The taste seeped into the soup, and there was a faint sweetness and sourness. Tsk, I made it myself when I was a kid, and it was delicious. ”
"I don't believe it's delicious." Chen Qiuniang didn't believe it.
"You can't make this taste from camellia fruit anywhere else. Only the camellia fruit of the Qinling Forte has this taste. He said triumphantly, and then motioned for her to pick a pick or two to taste. Chen Qiuniang picked the red bunch next to her. I put a few in my mouth and chewed it, but it really tasted different from the camellia fruit elsewhere. The camellia here is full of moisture. The water has a light sweetness, and when you chew it carefully, it will spread a mellow and clear taste in the mouth.
"That's a good thing." Chen Qiuniang said with a sigh.
Zhang Ci was very proud, and picked some nearby and put them in Chen Qiuniang's hands, and threw aside all the clothes that Chen Qiuniang was wearing before. The two of them walked along the mountain.
At this moment, it is already afternoon, although the sun is setting on the mountains, the trees are all autumn colors, and the mountainside and the top of the mountain look bright. But the valley is deep and densely wooded, and there is no sky, which makes people feel extremely cold. However, there was very little water in the valley, and there were many rocks exposed, so the two of them did not have to drill into the thorns.
"At the end of this creek is the mountain." Zhang Ci said, come back and ask Chen Qiuniang to be careful, these stones themselves are in the water, moist and cold. There is a lot of moss, and it is very slippery to walk.
"Hmm. I'll be careful. She walked cautiously, occasionally seeing an unknown snake or two spitting out cores and staring at them. Zhang Ci sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder, and the snake swished and disappeared.
"It's autumn. There were snakes. Chen Qiuniang said, and then said that the two snakes just now should look good in terms of meat.
Zhang Ci smiled: "The hero sees the same thing. Merely. I don't love snakes. If the flesh is too yin and evil, it will damage the jade spirit. ”
"Oh." Chen Qiuniang looked down at the jade pendant on her neck. At the bottom of this valley where there is no daylight, you can see a faint streamer.
"Youqi." She walked for a while, then shouted.
He took her hand and walked in front, and when he heard her shout, he stopped and turned to ask, "What is it?" ”
"If you want this jade spirit, don't hide it from me, just tell me." Here she came.
Zhang Ci immediately became angry and shouted: "Jiang Yun, you still don't believe me when you come here? ”
Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, so he didn't say a word, bullied her, hugged her, hugged her in his arms, and ran straight up. His kung fu was already good, and Chen Qiuniang's body was too tired to work, so he didn't struggle, so he let him hold him.
He ran extremely fast, and although he was good at kung fu, he almost fell down several times because of his anger.
Chen Qiuniang clutched his clothes tightly, leaned on his arms, and could hear his heart beating vigorously in the whirring wind and the occasional wailing of the ape. Occasionally, daylight cast a patch of light through the deep dense forest, and she saw Zhang Ci pursing her lips tightly with a resolute expression.
He's mad at her. Chen Qiuniang closed her eyes in a dejected manner and blamed herself. This atmosphere that was finally eased was ruined by his own words.
I don't know how long he ran, but he finally stopped on a large bluestone. The forest is sparse here, and the light is bright. The creek is filled with water here, and there are swimming fish coming and going in the pool, which is very pleasant. The green vines around the pond are dyed by time, and they also show traces of wind and frost in this early autumn, slightly yellowing.
"Jiang Yun, if I had known that the Jade Spirit would damage your aura, I would not have continued the tradition of the Zhang clan if I was killed." He said, biting his lips tightly.
"What tradition?" Chen Qiuniang looked up at him.
He lowered his eyes and did not speak. Chen Qiuniang struggled twice, but he didn't continue to imprison her, so he let her break free and sit aside.
"You know what? It's just that you don't talk to me about anything, so I can only judge by what I know, and I will misunderstand you. Youqi, since you and I are people who love each other, we should share weal and woe. A lot of things should be done openly and honestly. When she saw that he was still sulking, she sighed and said this.
"I thought there was no need to say anything about the Zhang family's mother raising Yuling." He muttered.
"Now it's necessary, what do you mean by the Zhang family's mother raising the jade spirit?" Chen Qiuniang asked. She used to hear Zhang Ci say that the head of the Zhang family was the housewife, and everyone had their own jade plate with their own name and title on it. Before the head of the Zhang family married into the Zhang family, this piece of jade was personally selected by the patriarch of the Zhang family and carried by him.
Zhang Ci also sat down beside her and slowly talked about the origin of the Zhang family's cultivation of jade spirits. It is said that it was about the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and Taoist metaphysics was prevalent for a while. At that time, the mother of the housewife was Langya Wang, who was shocked and talented since she fell to the ground, but she was weak. The patriarch of the Zhang clan, who was a childhood sweetheart, traveled all over the three mountains and five mountains, looking for immortals and asking for medicine. In the end, at Ge Hong's place, he met an immortal. It is said that it can raise jade into a spirit and absorb the essence of the sun and moon to nourish its master. To raise the jade spirit, you must first find a good transparent jade, enter the jade with the blood of the child's fingertips, wear it for several years, and the jade is enlightened. In the process of warming the jade, this boy, do not do things like men and women, otherwise you will stain the jade and lose all your achievements.
When this boy finds the person he likes, he will engrave the title of the person he likes, and the other party will engrave his name and wear it closely. This jade will absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, dispel diseases and disasters for the hostess, drive away evil spirits and increase longevity. If it is a coincidence, it will also give birth to a jade fetus. In time, the jade fetus will become a jade spirit immortal. (To be continued......)
