Chapter Seventy-Five: The Supernatural
In the kitchen, the bones and flesh of the wild boar have been stewed in the pot after being peeled and washed, and the wild boar skin is nailed to the tree outside, and Zhang Cheng is going to give it to the workers of the forest farm in the afternoon, so that they can sell it to a leather processing place next time to buy wine and drink, even if the boss has a treat.
The value of wild boar skin is not high, if it is a better leather, Zhang Cheng may consider making some bags and shoes clothes. As for the protests of animal protection groups, hey, that kid is stripped naked and wearing a pair of leather shoes.
Shirley and Ye Zi were playing computer games in the house, and Zhang Cheng took Jesse out alone in the name of teaching Jesse to shoot. Deep in the woods, after Jesse was shot many times in a tree, Zhang Cheng began to teach Jesse to shoot with a bullet.
The sound of gunfire frightened rabbits, pheasants, and squirrels in the jungle to run around, and in the panic, a pheasant was shot in the head by Jesse and died on the ground.
After confirming that there were no bullets in Jesse's gun, Zhang Cheng went to pick up the pheasant: "Jesse, you can hit the pheasant from 80 meters away, it's good luck." ”
Jesse picked up the pheasant and touched the pheasant's feathers and said, "It's bad luck." ”
"It's all the same, let's go, let's go back."
After Zhang Cheng returned to the house, he took Ye Zi and his aunt out to practice shooting alone, but he had limited luck and didn't hit any prey. Only Shirley was dissatisfied: "Don't take me to practice guns for anything, this is discrimination." ”
Jesse: "You're young. We're both 17 years old after New Year's Eve and you're only 13."
Shirley stood up angrily: "This is ageism. I'm about the same height as you. ”
Jesse: "You go to the White House homepage and say that. ”
As he spoke, the rich aroma of the kitchen was even better. The four of them immediately ran to the restaurant to wait for the meal, this meal was wild boar meat rice bowl, which was a special dish created by my aunt, formerly known as beef rice bowl.
The little tiger baby also got a large portion of the soup and a lot of meaty rice on the ground, whining and eating it violently.
In addition to pouring rice bowls, Zhang Cheng also has a few big bones with meat, and the best small ribs on the ribs are naturally divided by several ladies.
After eating a comfortable lunch, Zhang Cheng patted his stomach and took an apple from the living room: "I'm full, I'll go to the forest farm workers to have a look." ”
Zhang Cheng went to the tree where the wild boar skin was hung to see, several crows were pecking at the residual meat left on the skin, and the crows were blown awayZhang Cheng took the skin to the lumberjacks' room, which was unexpectedly lively, and several lumberjacks talked about which woman in the city was the most prodigal in the city around the stove after dinner, and they quarreled because of this.
After Zhang Cheng entered the house, he nailed the wild boar skin to the wall casually: "Hello everyone, I'm the boss here, just call me BOSS." ”
Seeing the boss coming, several lumberjacks quieted down, and one of the lumberjacks asked, "I heard that the Chinese boss is an atheist." ”
Zhang Cheng: "At least I'm a theist. When you travel to China, you will know that the number of people who go to temples to worship gods every year is several times more than the population of any state in the United States. ”
The development of American society is not fast, and it is normal that nothing has changed in many places for more than ten years. Zhang Chengzhi said that many Americans still know about China in the last century, and a once thriving commercial street in China will be replaced by a new one in less than a decade. And the construction of skyscrapers in various parts of China now has the same vigor as the United States in the thirties and forties, and the newspapers call this China's speed.
The lumberjack who asked the question breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, living here, sometimes it's really not okay not to believe something." ”
Zhang Cheng was also interested, found a log stool and sat down and asked, "What, have you ever seen a jungle Bigfoot or a forest banshee?" ”
The lumberjacks looked at each other a few times, and one said, "To tell you the truth, they've all seen it." Jungle elves and jungle dwarves also refer to jungle dwarves as Bigfoot. And UFOs, I can't tell if Area 51 is in Nevada or Idaho. ”
Another lumberjack said: "Many lumberjacks who live in the forest all year round have seen some supernatural phenomena, but the psychiatrist prefers to tell you that this is a fantasy that you have been repressed in an environment for a long time. It is recommended that we travel to places with a lot of people, but it is also true, those cities with reinforced concrete are rarely supernatural. ”
The third lumberjack spoke, "There are big cities, and I heard that someone in Detroit summoned the devil with black magic to make it a sin city." ”
"You said you heard about it. Since I heard about it, it's a matter of maybe. What we have seen, everyone has seen, and you have seen it. But who has seen the devil of Detroit, you? ”
Several lumberjacks began to quarrel again over topics other than women, and Zhang Cheng recalled the memories of his previous life.
In the eyes of modern people, only human beings have advanced wisdom, which is obviously wrong in Zhang Cheng's view. It's just that animals and plants have taken different paths from modern humans, but one of the points of view is the same, that is, animals and plants also have a fear of death, and animals and plants also have their own language and thoughts, and they do not seem to many people to act on instinct.
Earlier than humans, animals and plants also made various attempts to escape death, or what modern people call evolutionary or supernatural phenomena.
In the eyes of cultivators, this is the essence of plants and animals, but because the air and sewage of the big cities where humans live are poison to these animals and plants, they cannot be seen in the towns at all, and they can only be found in the deep mountains and old forests that are inaccessible.
The earliest practitioners caught goblins and used them for medicinal purposes, but as time went by, the goblins became fewer and fewer, until the recipes for the elves were lost. Because it is useless to eat goblins raw, the cultivators and goblins in Zhang Cheng's previous life are basically in a state where well water does not interfere with river water.
However, goblins and practitioners are cautious people, and if they offend them, such as killing their descendants or taking their territory, they will definitely find a way to get revenge. This is also a paranormal phenomenon that people often see.
As for the summoning demons that the lumberjacks quarreled about, Zhang Cheng and his two lives didn't know much in their memories. However, Zhang Cheng knew that as long as there were a sufficient number of people who believed that something existed, it would definitely exist. It's hard to tell whether this kind of thing existed because humans believed it first, or whether it existed before people believed it, and the question is a bit like the chicken or the egg.
Judging from the information provided by the lumberjacks, Zhang Cheng's woodland at least coincides with the territory of the two goblins, and judging from the fact that workers can still be hired here, there is no contradiction between the two sides and they can coexist peacefully at present.
Because even if animals and plants become spirits, there are too many ways to kill ordinary people, and humans can see humanoid goblins, not because goblins have cultivated into human bodies, but because they distort human brainwave signals to a certain extent - in ancient times, it was called illusion, making humans look like people, and the same way, if a deer sees a goblin, the goblin in the deer's eyes is like a deer. If the story of the White Snake is true, then Xu Xian's taste is really heavy.
Zhang Cheng's cultivation of the Blue Emperor Taiyi only has the effect of longevity and health, and he can't cast illusions, but he can see through illusions. For the two goblins, Zhang Cheng is not afraid, it's a big deal to use pesticides, as long as the environment is destroyed, the goblins can't move if they want to.
After leaving the wild boar skin, Zhang Cheng stopped on the way back to the villa and took out another thread-bound book from his pocket, which was called Liangyi Electromagnetic Decision.
Cultivating the kung fu on this magic recipe can make people get some abilities about illusion, magnetism, and electricity, but it doesn't help for immortality, after Zhang Cheng got this law in the previous life, he only copied it down as a small path and never practiced it in his life, but from the perspective of modern people, this is a great ability.
After touching this Liangyi Electromagnetic Duel a few times, Zhang Cheng put away the Taoist book again, and waited for his Qingdi Taiyi to become angry, and it was not too late to cultivate this after his body became full of anger.
