Chapter 6: Ice Silkworms
"Click... ”
The sound of the knife touching the cutting board is slow and steady, but when you look at the scene of the knife swinging, anyone will feel extremely stunned.
The knife seemed to be slashing down slowly, but each knife was interspersed with countless fleeting knife shadows. This means that each knife is not one, but several! Just because the knife speed is too fast, it gives people the illusion that only one knife is used!
And that's not all. In order to achieve the appearance of ordinary chopping vegetables in front of you, you have to put the knife away at the most appropriate time, and suddenly change from the previous extreme speed to the extremely slow of ordinary people! This undoubtedly requires a very high degree of control of the knife.
The man with the knife was naturally the old man. is some trivial things in life, and he can actually practice his knife skills in this unique way. If he persists in this way day after day, year after year, his sword skills will inevitably reach an unbelievable level! From this point of view, his superb sword skills are by no means created out of nothing, but the result of accumulation over time.
A plant that looked like a cucumber was cut into a bunch of slices by the old man. Each piece is as thin as a cicada's wing, and even the sunlight shines directly through its face, unobstructed.
The old man put the slices on a plate and brought them into the room. On the wooden bed in the room, a teenager was sleeping. The boy slept soundly, with a shallow smile on his face, and eighty percent was dreaming about something.
"It's only been a long time since I went out, and I kicked the quilt again. ”
Sleep is a deep sleep, but that doesn't mean his body will be honest. With both hands and feet fangs and claws, the quilt was kicked to the ground at some point, if it weren't for the summer, it would have to catch a cold.
"Night...... Don't!"
Yuebai seemed to suddenly dream of something, and suddenly screamed. The old man had just put a slice in his mouth and spit it out.
"Night!"
Yuebai opened her eyes suddenly, and her upper body suddenly popped up.
The old man said with a black line on his face: "Stinky boy, what are you shocked? ”
Yuebai gasped heavily, looking frightened. The old man looked at his appearance, and had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't ask anything. One is that this may be Yuebai's secret, and the other is that he doesn't care about what happened to Yuebai in the past.
"Here...... It's not a mountain village. Is it another dream?" said that, Yuebai's face looked a little lower.
"What kind of mountain villa is not a mountain villa? There is only a stinky old man's cabin here, if you are not used to living there, you can just roll. The old man said angrily.
Just as Yuebai was thinking about why the word "stinky old man" was so familiar, suddenly, a blue shadow appeared from the side, and it swooped onto Yuebai's palm. It was an ice-blue silkworm.
When Yuebai saw such a silkworm suddenly appear, she naturally immediately thought of the sesame-sized silkworm egg. However, at this time, this silkworm was a finger long! several times larger than before the moon turned into shape.
What's even more amazing is that this silkworm is actually ice blue all over, as if it is a work of art carved from pure blue crystal. It stands to reason that as the descendant of that giant silkworm, this little guy must also be an extremely cold ice silkworm. There will be such a big difference in the image, it seems that there has been a mutation.
But there are good and bad variations. Good variations can increase the potential. Bad variations can lead to very short lifespans.
"By the way, where did my silkworm eggs go before?" Yuebai remembered, and it seemed that after waking up, the silkworm eggs on his back were gone.
The old man said: "Of course it was taken by the old man." You're just a kid old, you're just messing around outside, and you're bringing a kid over. And I even forgot about it. ”
Yuebai was stunned for a moment, obviously the old man had a very yellow and violent misunderstanding.
"That...... This silkworm egg is not mine. Besides, is it mutated? The Extreme Cold Ice Silkworm doesn't seem to look like this. ”
"Oh, the Ice Silkworm. When it was born, the old decay dripped, and it went up like this. Don't worry, it should be a benign variant overall. What kind of silkworm is your kid? Sleep recovery is amazing, and the blood is like a thousand-year-old ginseng. ”
Uh, why do you want to drip my blood? But my blood actually causes mutations? What is the reason?
Yuebai couldn't help but think of what the giant silkworm called him. Could it be that he is really the so-called emperor? If so, it is reasonable to explain that his own blood will have such a great influence on him. If a bloodline that is too weak absorbs a powerful bloodline, it will naturally be greatly affected.
"Open your mouth. ”
As he spoke, the old man had already picked up another piece of flake. Seeing this, Yuebai subconsciously stepped back on the bed. The flake always gave him a sense of foreboding.
The old man said impatiently: "What's the matter? I'm still afraid that the old decay will not be poisoned." If the old decay really wants to kill you, can you still live until now? Your body is too fragile, and eating the Transformation Fruit will naturally be useless. This is the fruit of the golden stone wood, which can effectively nourish your body. ”
After hearing this, Yuebai was stunned for a moment, and then stared at the old man with a very strange look.
"See what? Declare in advance, the old man has no interest in any of the same sex. ”
Yuebai took the flakes into it, listened to the old man's words, and immediately spit it out again.
"What do you stinky old man think all day?"
"No, I was one of the top ten handsome men back then, and I don't know how many women are chasing after me. ”
"Hahaha! You've got it, just you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, if you talk nonsense, I'll chop you into raw silkworm slices. ”
Seeing the old man's brazenness, Yuebai smiled for a while before stopping.
"Stinky old man, you won't pursue the matter of me stealing the transformation fruit?"
The old man said angrily: "I'm not a demon or a beast, why do you want that thing? Besides, the unripe transformation fruit is a highly poisonous thing, and it is your ability to eat it and not die." ”
Hearing the word poisonous, Yuebai couldn't help but be afraid for a while. Fortunately, I have the ability to ripen plants, otherwise I would have to go to the underworld to meet with Cangye now. However, Cangye's soul is still in the fragments of the reincarnation mirror, and I don't know if I can see her in the underworld.
This ice silkworm has a very docile personality, and it seems to be very sticky and white. After jumping into his hand, he screamed softly, and his body rubbed in the palm of his hand, feeling soft and elastic, and cold. This feeling is undoubtedly very comfortable in the hot summer climate, and Yuebai immediately likes this little guy.
When I have the chance, I'll have to find a shape-shifting fruit for this little guy. When the time comes, the first one will have to teach it to use chopsticks.
Yuebai secretly outlined the "future plan" in his heart. The ice silkworm in his hand also seemed to feel something, and suddenly shivered.
"Put it in your mouth for ten minutes, then spit it out and eat. The old man put the flake in Yuebai's mouth for the third time, and then turned and walked out.
Yuebai's heart couldn't help but warm. When it wakes up, someone prepares a meal for itself, which it has never experienced before. Although this old man is usually a little scary, all kinds of details can be carefully considered, and the old man's kindness to him can be seen.
Obviously, he just gave it to strangers he didn't know at all, and even stole its treasure. It's true that he can't use the Shapeshifting Fruit, but that doesn't mean that the Shapeshifting Fruit is worthless. Yuebai believes that as long as this thing is put out for sale, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price!
But even so, he still showed this kindness. Perhaps, he really stayed alone for too long. It's rare for someone, no, it's a demon who has broken into his life, and the feeling of no longer being lonely must be that this old man doesn't hate it.
Yuebai's stomach is naturally growling with hunger now. After ten minutes, without saying a word, he immediately jumped out of bed. With such a sudden move, the ice silkworm in Yuebai's palm was immediately startled, and shrank up with a strange scream, looking a little scared.
It's noon, so it's lunch. On the table in the courtyard, a bowl of steaming rice is on the table. There are meat and vegetarian dishes, the meat is bacon, and the vegetarian ones are some vegetables grown by the old man himself, such as cabbage and radish.
In addition, there is a small plate with some mulberry leaves in it. However, this mulberry leaf is not an ordinary mulberry leaf. The green leaves are covered with ice-blue lines.
Seeing this mulberry leaf, the ice silkworm in Yuebai's palm immediately became extremely excited. With a whoosh, he jumped out of Yuebai's palm, and threw himself directly into the plate and ate it.
"Extremely cold ice silkworms are cold by nature and like to eat plants that contain cold air. There happen to be a lot of frost and snow mulberries in this forest that can rely on absorbing spiritual power to grow in a high-temperature environment. This frost and snow mulberry leaf has naturally become the favorite food of the extremely cold ice silkworms here. Although there have been significant changes in this ice silkworm, it seems that there has been no change in its eating habits. ”
Yuebai also became interested when he heard it. He is also a silkworm, and naturally likes to eat mulberry leaves. He gently twisted a slice from the plate, and the ice silkworm immediately protested. It's like saying, "Actually snatching food with children, it's shameless!"
The first time I ate mulberry leaves as a human being, the first feeling of Yuebai was rough!
"This is a mulberry leaf?"
Yuebai couldn't help but ask in doubt. Eating this mulberry leaf with a human body is really a bit big compared to the ontology. The food that used to be tender and delicious has now become this kind of waste that is difficult to swallow, and the gap in Yuebai's heart is undoubtedly huge.
After chewing a few times, Yuebai really couldn't swallow it, so she had to spit it out with a "phew". But then, there was a cold feeling in Yuebai's mouth. It didn't take long for a layer of frost to appear on Yuebai's tongue!
"You are not an ice silkworm, and you can't absorb the cold qi, what kind of frost and snow mulberry leaves do you eat? Now that you have turned into a human form, you should eat what people eat and what people do. ”
Yuebai's mouth at this time had been frozen by the cold breath in the mulberry leaves, and he couldn't say a word. The frost slowly dissolves in the summer heat, but at this rate, it will take a few minutes. The icy air of this frost and snow mulberry is so tenacious! It is no wonder that this weather can still grow in large numbers.
When the ice melted, Yuebai's tongue was sour. At the dinner table, the old man immediately patiently talked about the so-called "what people eat" and "what people do". Yuebai listened to it for a while and began to wander, but immediately the old man hit his head heavily with chopsticks.
The old man chattered for a long time before Yuebai was "pardoned" and was able to start the meal. These are all unique flavors that Yuebai has never been exposed to, and the hungry Yuebai eats so happily and satisfied! After a morning of devilish training, although the beans can't be clamped, the normal diet still does not affect it.
But while eating, Yuebai couldn't help but think of the dreams of the past few days. In retrospect, it seems that I have wasted a lot of time. Cangye's soul is still in the fragment of the reincarnation mirror, although the power of the ancient artifact is unfathomable, but it is only a fragment, who knows when there will be a problem? If they collect the rest of the fragments and find that one is missing, they will definitely hunt for Yuebai. Moon White must be strong enough before the worst comes!
Yuebai's chopsticks suddenly stopped.
"Stinky old man, can you teach me how to become stronger?"
Hearing this, the old man's movements also stopped. He looked at Yuebai, and Yuebai looked at him. The two eyes intertwined, and it seemed that even time paused.
"What a stinky old man!
"Ahh
