Chapter 5 Disciples of the Immortal Family
In a small mountain village, there are basically no secrets, and soon, everyone knew about Lu Zhe's encounter with immortals in his dream.
"Ah Zhe, Ah Zhe, take a look, if you can eat this." It was still Lin Wuyi next door, holding a bright red mushroom, and asked Lu Zhe excitedly.
"This one is poisonous, throw it away." The mushrooms in the other party's hand were red, and Lu Zhe didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly threw away this small stone pier.
"Huh? I thought, this mushroom is so beautiful, I didn't expect it to be poisonous. As soon as he heard that it was poisonous, Lin Wuyi quickly threw the mushroom in his hand away as if his hands were burned.
Ay...... Look at Lin Wuyi's shouting and screaming. Lu Zhe had a little headache, since he went to deliver fish to the Lin family that day, this Lin Wuyi, who was one year older than him, was like Yun Niang, following Lu Zhe all day long.
The key thing is that this Lin Wuyi is a talker, as if he has endless words to say in a day, and what makes him a little depressed is that Lin Wuyi has a dwarf stone pier-like figure, a very large and penetrating voice, and Lu Zhe has been surrounded by this "blameless subwoofer" for the past few days.
In other words, are you worthy of your cold and cool name and your honest and brutal face with so many words?
"Ah Zhe, Ah Zhe, what kind of mushroom do you have in your hand, is it delicious?" Watching Lu Zhe throw a chanterelle into the bamboo basket, Lin Wuyi shouted again.
"It's called chanterelles, and it's edible, and it tastes better than matsutake mushrooms." Lu Zhe explained helplessly.
"What? More delicious than matsutake mushrooms? Lin Wuyi was so angry that Lu Zhe's ears were buzzing, and when the other children and women who were picking mushrooms heard it, they all gathered around. He asked.
"This mushroom is yellow and clear, but it looks good."
"Zhewazi, this mushroom is really more delicious than that pine mushroom?"
"Ah Zhe, Ah Zhe, can you eat this when you look at this?" Someone else asked him with other mushrooms.
Lu Zhe was surrounded by a group of women and children, watching a group of people who had not taken a bath for a long time, and their fingernails were full of dirt slowly pouring over, the smell of sweat wafted from all directions, and the noise in his ears seemed to be the vegetable market of later generations, Lu Zhe was a little overwhelmed, and couldn't help but take a few steps back and stand on a high slope.
"Neighbors." Lu Zhe made a reunion, and everyone realized that this Zhewazi, who was suspected of being a disciple of the Immortal Family, seemed to be about to say something, so they also quieted down.
"In the past few days, everyone must have eaten mushrooms, mushrooms are delicious and can satisfy hunger, it is an excellent food, but there are many mushrooms in the forest, if you don't pay attention to it, you will eat poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and in serious cases, it is even life-threatening."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces inevitably flashed with fear.
"As for how to distinguish mushrooms, my ancestors of the Hundred Flowers Sect have already discussed and argued. In order to help you identify, I will tell you now. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. There is a lot of talk about it.
"Ah Zhe, this is your family's secret inheritance, pass it on to me and others, is it okay?" It was still Lin Wuyi who was questioning, and at this time he said what everyone wanted.
"I'm the Sect Master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, so it's okay." Lu Zhe waved his small hand, indicating that it was okay. He really didn't want these people to come to him every time they came across a new mushroom and asked him if he could eat it, you must know that he was also a bronze in this regard, and he had never seen many mushrooms, so he told each other that he couldn't eat many mushrooms he didn't know.
"Thank you, Tetsuro-kun."
"Thank you, A-Zhe."
As soon as these words came out, he was very surprised that all the people thanked him solemnly, and the adults still used the official title of Zhelangjun, Lu Zhe was a little shocked.
After experiencing the era of the information explosion in later generations, he is accustomed to asking Baidu when he is indecided, and he has something to search for, Lu Zhe really can't imagine the importance and respect of the ancients for knowledge, even if it is a small common sense of how to distinguish mushrooms, Lu Zhe even saw that some gray-haired old women were also bowing to him, Lu Zhe couldn't help it.
"Neighbors, don't you want to fold the boy's life with so many courtesies? , Zhe will tell everyone now how to identify mushrooms, this mushroom is generally brightly colored......" Lu Zhe was moved by the ancients' respect for knowledge, so he also tried to search for the knowledge in his brain and told everyone how to distinguish mushrooms.
At the same time, a meeting about him was being held in the most central hut in the village.
This is one of the few wooden houses in the village, and the three old men in sackcloth, including the ghost elder Lu Zhe saw that day, are also among them, all sitting on the top, and in the middle is a small incense burner, which burns unknown spices, and in the curling green smoke, there is a strong fragrance in the hut.
Opposite them was a small middle-aged man, dressed in black, with an unwavering face, talking to several old people.
"So, under your surveillance in the past few days, the kid from the flower grower hasn't had any contact with outsiders?" The one who spoke was the old man sitting on the right, short and fat like a pot-bellied arhat, with a loud voice.
"Back to Elder Deng, in the past few days, Shadow Heron has been following Lu Zhe of the Hundred Flowers Sect without leaving an inch, and my second brother, Shadow Snake, has also gone to the village to investigate carefully, and has not found any traces of outsiders." The short and fat old man who asked the question was surnamed Deng, who was a descendant of a famous family, one of the three elders in the village when he knew the destiny of heaven.
"Okay" You go first, the old man in the middle waved his hand, and the man named Shadow Heron made a big salute and quietly retreated.
"Well, new fishing equipment, new styles of woodware, and a good cook's skills, to learn these, a baby who is only ten years old, is really a demon here? Old ghost, you've seen that baby, what do you think? Elder Deng turned his head and asked the ghost elder on the left.
"I've seen this baby before, it's no different from the average yellow-mouthed child, and when I saw the old man, I was scared three feet away from the old man, but when I saw it yesterday, not only did he speak in a reasonable manner, neither humble nor arrogant, but also used quite decent words, not at all like the Lu family baby I had seen before. Moreover, the old man faintly felt that this Lu family baby even had an arrogance, an arrogance that looked down on the world, although he hid it well, but was discovered by the old man. “
The woman of the Lin family only gave his brother and sister a bowl of millet rice, but he actually gave it to him with fatty fish and mushrooms, and even drew countless new wooden patterns, which he gave to the Lin family without reservation. In addition to the gratitude of the people, there is also a sense of looking down on the people of the world, which means that for him, the precious secret techniques and patterns are only worth a bowl of millet rice. ”
"Immortal disciple, it's normal to have some arrogance to look down on the world, even if it's like you and me, although we are in the mountains, although we are struggling in the mountains, we don't treat the world like ants?" The old man in the middle spoke, the simple old man in sackcloth, and his voice seemed to float from the void in the distance.
"Elder Ming, do you really think this son is a disciple of the Immortal Family?" In front of the old man in the middle, Elder Deng, who had a loud voice, also deliberately lowered his voice. "Your Yin and Yang family is the most proficient in this way, could it be that the saying of encountering immortals is very likely to be true?"
In a few days, he changed from an ignorant child who didn't know anything to a well-founded teenager with secret skills. If it wasn't a dream of meeting immortals, what else could there be? Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what that kid did this morning? Saying this, Elder Ming's face showed a moving look.
"What is it that makes Elder Ming so surprised? The old ghost is also somewhat interested. ”
"That's it!" The old man who called Elder Ming slowly opened his palm, and there was some white powder inside.
"Is this salt?" Elder Ghost seemed to have a problem of tasting everything with his own mouth, and he dipped a little of his finger and put it on the tip of his tongue, and the next second, an unbelievable look appeared on his face.
"The high-grade refined salt, shaped like a snowflake, is called snowflake salt, and the old man once saw it in the palace of Emperor Wen of the Great Sui, and it is exactly this thing." Elder Deng was also taken aback. "That kid made it?"
"Of course." Elder Ming in the middle bowed slightly, "It's made of his family's coarse black salt." When Shadow Heron saw it, he saw him put the coarse black salt in the water, and then poured it into a homemade cloth bag, and under the cloth bag was his clay pot, and after drying the water, he got such good salt. ”
"What! It's so simple, could it really be a fairy method? Elder Deng also exclaimed.
"The old man knows a little about all the mountain gate methods in the world, and he has lived for 50 years, and he has not seen any mountain gate that can have this secret technique, if there is such a secret technique, why should the person still hide his tracks in the deep mountains and dense forests, and specially come to entertain us, and go straight to the king, and from then on cast his own sect for a hundred generations." The ghost elder stroked his beard and said with a smile, his hideous face was even more vicious.
"The words of the ghost elder are very reasonable, who can have such a secret technique, who is not a disciple of the immortal family? Even if it is really a Huangkou child, if you have to meet a master to guide you, this master can only be the incarnation of the immortal family, and the Lu family baby can only be a disciple of the fairy family, otherwise how will the people of the mountain gate such as me deal with themselves, and what face will they have to guide sentient beings? Elder Ming's last sentence could be regarded as setting the tone for Lu Zhe's affairs.
"Very good." "Very good." Elder Ghost and Elder Deng also nodded, agreeing with the statement of the disciples of Lu Zhexian's family.
