Chapter 41 The Salty Broth

There were still three days left before the Xuanque Hall recruit election, and Li Anmin and Hongying returned to the shepherd slope early.

Two days ago, he returned to the third battalion, and the soldiers of the third battalion came to greet him, Li Anmin looked around, but did not find Chen Fanfan and the big black dog. After some inquiry, I heard from the soldiers that not long after Li Anmin and others went to the Iron Tool Camp, Chen Fanfan left the Third Camp on the grounds of concentrating on cultivation and preparing for the general election, and the big black dog disappeared quietly.

Since Shen Chengyue left, Hu Biancao didn't know what kind of tricks he had committed, although he drew the breeze song under his account, he didn't care about it. Therefore, Chen Fanfan left the camp without permission, and no one controlled him. Li Anmin searched around, but did not find any trace of Chen Fanfan and Dahei.

Forced to bear too much pressure, Li Anmin had no choice but to give up the search and make final preparations for the recruit election in three days.

The so-called final preparation is to lock yourself in the tent and practice the method of breathing day and night, that is, the netherworld qi in the mouths of Master Huang and Shen Duliao.

At this moment, Li Anmin was sitting cross-legged in the tent, his eyes slightly closed. His breathing was uneven, but it was very regular, and between inhaling and exhaling, the black aura on his body was faintly surrounding.

Netherworld aura, but the black aura on Li Anmin's body is not gloomy and cold, but has a strong taste of righteousness and brightness. It's like the sun is wrapped in dark clouds, even if a trace of coldness is exposed, it is dazzling enough.

Regarding the use of this netherworld qi, Li Anmin still knows a little about it. He only knew that by using Nether Qi, he could instantly increase his abilities, such as speed, strength, and physical strength. But if the Netherworld Qi was used for too long, Li Anmin would be stinging all over, as if there were tens of thousands of steel needles trying to break out of his body.

Li Anmin is very familiar with this kind of stinging, because just like the strange disease he contracted when he was a child, he often stabs all over his body without warning.

"It was a child who tormented me for a long time. Isn't it a strange disease? Li Anmin was surprised in his heart and muttered to himself.

recalled the scene when he faced Shi Jian's seven people, at that time, Li Anmin was forced to be helpless, and in a hurry, he also used the breathing method in his father's mouth at that time. Li Anmin clearly remembered that a mist pattern appeared on his right arm at that time, and a strange beast head was hidden in the mist.

The same situation also occurred once when he attracted the spiritual power vortex, but since then, no matter how he cultivated, there had been no abnormality on his arm.

Li Anmin had doubts in his heart, so he took out the second-layer exercise of the Netherworld Qi that his father had given him in the secret room of the mansion before.

The vague figure in the exercises appeared in Li Anmin's mind again, and Li Anmin observed carefully.

Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, inhale...

Li Anmin was annoyed in his heart, when he was practicing, he was no different from the law and rhythm of the vague figure in the exercises, but why did he not make an inch of progress.

The young man's face was anxious, and there was some anger in his heart.

"What's wrong with the wood, or it doesn't work?"

At this moment, Hongying took the lunch box and opened the tent door and walked in. In the past two days, Li Anmin locked himself in his tent and worked day and night. Hongying was worried that her sweetheart's body would not be able to bear it, so she took on the responsibility of supervising his diet.

"Hongying, how do you cultivate on weekdays, why did I persist for a few days but didn't make any progress?" Li Anmin scratched his head and couldn't help but ask Hongying for help.

"Nowadays, unlike in the days of the monks, there is an extreme lack of exercises and traditions. Many of the exercises that exist today are unsound, and they have been cultivated by countless sages and predecessors with their own understanding. Because of this, the exercises have been changed to the current version, resulting in different methods of practicing each exercise, although the exercises I practiced are precious, but my grandfather spent a lot of effort to collect the ancestors' practice experience books, so I only need to practice step by step. ”

Looking at Li Anmin, who was anxious, Hongying's face was also full of worry, and she said apologetically.

Li Anmin sighed when he heard this, and was silent.

"By the way, I heard my grandfather say it. The practice of monks is the law of the movement of the breath between heaven and earth. Only by enhancing the sense of identity of the breath of heaven and earth for oneself can we use more breath of heaven and earth more accurately. ”

Hongying looked at Li Anmin, racking her brains to think about Shen Yunan's teachings to herself in the past.

"I've asked a lot of people about cultivation, and I naturally know this bit of common sense. This ghostly aura, except for my father, I'm afraid that I'm the only one in the world. But my dad only gave me this book, saying that he couldn't teach people to cultivate. Thinking of what his father said to him before leaving, Li Anmin shook his head dejectedly. Sensei said that he would have great success in the later stage of cultivation, but now he has not even reached the level of entry.

"Okay, cultivation is a long road, and it can't be achieved overnight, so calm down and slow down." Hongying lined up the meals on the table in the tent, served a bowl of broth to her sweetheart, carefully blew a few sips, and said, "Since I went through Song Qian'er's incident, I have learned to make soup." As soon as it was made, I couldn't wait to bring it over, you come and try it, otherwise it will be cheaper Jiang Tong Yuan left those two gluttonous ghosts. ”

Li Anmin's heart was in turmoil, and he wanted to refuse, but when he saw Hongying holding the soup with his own hands, looking at him expectantly, the young man couldn't bear to live up to the girl's wishes. He squeezed out a smile at the red tassel, took the broth and drank it down. As soon as the soup was entered, Li Anmin's face paused, and he praised it: "It's delicious, it's no worse than the broth in the Xuanque Hall Huotou Camp." ”

Seeing Li Anmin take the broth, Hongying's eyes widened and waited for her sweetheart's evaluation. After getting any, Red Tassel was so excited that she almost jumped.

Seeing that there were still about a few bowls of soup in the soup pot on the table, Li Anmin smiled calmly and said to Hongying: "I still want to drink a few more bowls." ”

Hearing this, Hongying hurriedly filled another bowl of broth, and said happily: "That's right, when the rice is eaten in the stomach, you can turn it into your own strength and continue to cultivate!" ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Li Anmin was stunned when he heard this, and muttered to himself: "Only when you eat it in your stomach can you turn it into your own strength." ”

The young man lowered his head and pondered, the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, and finally he spoke: "Netherworld Qi cultivation all depends on breathing, and under the swallowing, the black aura comes and goes. Why don't I try to swallow the black breath into my body and not spit it out? On that day, the spiritual power vortex appeared, and the violent black aura didn't need me to swallow it on my own and went crazy, but I couldn't vomit it, which made my body unbearable. Now that I think about it, isn't it the breath cultivation method of the Netherworld Qi, what I inhaled was the breath of heaven and earth, but what I exhaled was not? ”

As soon as Li Anmin thought of this, he did not hesitate to start trying.

The young man sat cross-legged and used the method of breathing, absorbing the black qi of heaven and earth into his body, and then exhaled the turbid qi in his body. In a few breaths, Li Anmin felt bursts of burning heat coming from his right arm. When the boy opened his eyes, he saw the looming black beast head mark on his right arm.

Li Anmin was overjoyed, and was about to share the good news with Hongying that he had finally found the method of cultivation.

But as soon as I looked up, I saw Hongying holding the broth, and a sad color appeared on her face. Li Anmin didn't know why, his heart tightened, and he asked out loud: "You, what's wrong?" ”

"This broth is so salty that you actually say it's as delicious as the fire head camp." Hongying took a deep breath, it turned out that she saw that Li Anmin seemed to have figured out the key to cultivation, and she was overjoyed, and she tasted the broth she cooked, but who had ever had this broth so salty that it was hard to swallow.

Li Anmin scratched his head and said with a little naivety: "You cooked it for me with your own hands, I don't want you to be disappointed." ”

Hongying's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said loudly: "Hehe, so it's because I cooked it myself, even if it's so salty that it's hard to swallow, you will smile and say it's delicious?" ”

Hearing the slight unhappiness in Hongying's tone, and the voice became more and more high-pitched, Li Anmin didn't know why, so he explained: "This is my respect for you." ”

"Did you know that respect is sometimes a way to bring people together, and it is also the main culprit that causes alienation and estrangement?" Hongying was angry, tears couldn't help but flow, and then said: "If you really like it, you will definitely consider our future, if this broth becomes our daily routine in the future, will you always drink him without hesitation?" ”

"Well, of course not." Li Anmin was speechless and replied in a deep voice.

"That means you didn't even think about having a future with me." Hongying's face was resentful, and the crying pear blossom ribbon fish, sobbed and shouted: "Li Anmin, the real liking will never be respectful to each other, but to be honest with each other, and we can be together through thick and thin." I don't want your respect, I don't want to swallow the unpalatable broth in one gulp. Instead, you told me that today's broth is salty, and next time put less salt. ”

Hearing this, Li Anmin no longer looked at Hongying. The boy bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing Li Anmin's appearance, Hongying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Li Anmin with an indifferent face, and said sharply: "Li Anmin, it turns out that I always thought you were Mune, it turns out that I was wrong, you just don't like it." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hongying turned around with a resolute face and walked towards the tent with firm steps.

Seeing the back of Hongying turning away, Li Anmin only felt a tightness in his heart, as if a piece of his heart had been stripped off. At this moment, he really realized that the red tassel had already been deeply imprinted in his heart.

In a hurry, Li Anmin rushed to Hongying's body with a strong step, stretched out his big hand and pulled the tearful girl into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not good at words, but I know that you are very important to me." ”

Hearing this, Hongying knew that this was probably the most romantic love words that Li Damu could say. The girl put down the pretense of being strong, hugged the young man's shoulder, and cried with joy: "Li Damu, punish you for drinking such salty broth forever in the future." ”

Being hugged by Hongying, Li Anmin's body was still a little stiff, he stayed for a moment, put his hand on Hongying's back and patted it gently, and said gently: "Put less salt next time." ”
