Chapter Twenty-Nine: Listen to the Elder Fire's Story

According to current archaeological records, the earliest human beings were ape-man fossils found in Ethiopia, about 3 million years old or more. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first civilization to emerge around 3500 BC was a successful transition from Neolithic tribal culture to civilization by agricultural communes that had improved their production techniques and were cultivating this arid wasteland.

In the middle of millions of years, I don't know how many eras and how many civilized societies have appeared in the long river of time. Just like the current scientific and technological society on the earth, in just a few thousand years, there are many scientists who have predicted the catastrophe of this era.

This may be the early era of civilization that consumed too much of the earth's resources, leading to the current civilization of the earth. We can only rely on the few remaining resources on the earth, the so-called non-renewable resources, to maintain the normal development of this era.

Earth, the mother of this human race. Maybe it's like a huge treasure trove. Each epoch can only come in once, and the treasure hunters who come first can only take a small amount of the resources with them, so they start with the good things. These resources give them development, but they also lead them to death, or leave the earth in search of new treasures.

Every epoch of the earth's existence, like the four seasons of the year, comes to an end, after it is as silent as winter. Those who survived, they found a treasure trove and found a new way to survive. Lived on Earth again in a new era.

The next third batch, the fourth batch. The disappearance of one era after another has become the so-called legends and myths of the latecomers.

The current earth science and technology is also a treasure trove, and from the remaining treasures, the current era of scientific and technological civilization has been developed.

The era that has disappeared in the long river of history will only become the conjecture after tea and dinner in this era of scientific and technological civilization.

Today, scientists are searching for new life in the universe and exploring the mysteries of the universe, and they are also looking for a way out for the future. Maybe when the resources in the treasury run out. Today, the world will also die, just like the previous eras, or leave the earth and go away to the universe. Become the next era of re-emergence, creatures that develop again, rest and talk to each other's myths.

"It's also a coincidence that I appeared here, I was originally a spirit cook, but unfortunately my realm has been stuck in the last layer, and I can't break through. In the end, there was no life left, and I had no choice but to go up the mountain to find the ingredients I needed and break through the realm. ”

"Once by chance on a treacherous mountain cliff, I saw a spirit grass, and I had a chance to break through when I picked it, but unfortunately there was a spirit to protect it, and the spirit cook's combat effectiveness was not high, and he was seriously injured and fell under the cliff. Perhaps there is some kind of mystery in the place where the teacher's body is buried, and my soul is imprisoned in the body, unable to leave and will not dissipate. It wasn't until the things you threw away ruined the terrain that I was able to leave. ”

Huo Lao said very calmly, for the final breakthrough, he has experienced too much suffering, and he has already taken life and death very lightly. Everything I did was just for that trace of obsession in my heart, the obsession of breaking through the final realm.

Although he didn't see Huo Lao with his own eyes, for the profession he loved, for the obsession in his heart, the sweat he paid, and the various hardships he endured along the way. But Xie Heilong can feel the persistence in Huo Lao's heart and his persistence in moving forward with his dreams.

After listening to Huo Lao's calm briefing, Xie Heilong felt sympathy in his heart, and couldn't help but have a lot of curiosity.

"Master, what kind of profession is a spirit cook? What for? Xie Heilong asked curiously.

"It's actually pretty much the same thing you're doing now."

"Are you cooking, too?" Xie Heilong asked.

"It's kind of cooking, but our era is different from what you are now. I don't feel any essence in the era where you are now, and the air is full of turbidity, so you have to give up the exploration and improvement of your body, and can only rely on the study of foreign objects to survive. This is also the foundation of the development of this era. ”

"And the world where the teacher is located, heaven and earth are full of spirit. You have also reached a very high level of self-improvement, just like your mythical flight to the heavens. It's a very common thing in the world of being a teacher. However, the pattern of each era cannot break through human instinct, and it also needs to dress, eat, and sleep, and there will be many professions derived. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Lao continued with a little depressed: "And I, because I can't feel the essence of heaven and earth by nature, can only survive at the bottom of that era. Spiritual Chef is just a very ordinary profession, and the ingredients harvested by those monks who have escaped from the sky are not convenient to eat directly, and they need professional spiritual cooks to cook. ”

"Although the teacher cannot absorb the essence of heaven and earth, God has given the teacher a different talent. This profession does not need to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Rather, it stimulates one's own ability, uses one's own ability to change the structure of the ingredient, remove the poisons and impurities in it, and retain only its most useful and delicious side. Just like you cooking, exquisite knife work, skilled production techniques, and careful ingredient matching. The resulting flavor will make the original ingredients more delicious. ”

"At that time, I was less than ten years old, and I met the master who was a teacher, that is, your master, and saw that the teacher's physique was okay, so I accepted the teacher as a disciple. As a teacher, he entered the profession of spiritual chef. Your physique is better than mine, that's why the teacher chose you that day, and now accepts you as an apprentice. Inherit the mantle of the teacher"

As he spoke, Elder Huo sighed.

"The world I'm in is long gone, and I don't want the profession I've loved all my life to disappear into this rolling river."

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and let our spirit chefs last forever." I felt the deep loneliness and helplessness in Huo Lao's heart. Xie Heilong said to him very seriously.

"Okay, I'm sure you'll be more than a teacher. Your constitution is both rigid and soft, and in your world, it may be useless. But it's perfect for inheriting the lineage of the spirit cook. ”

Feeling Xie Heilong's question, Huo Lao continued: "The physique of both rigidity and softness is the most suitable physique to inherit the spirit chef's lineage. The breath is sunny, and when cooking, it will destroy the original essence of the ingredients, resulting in the ingredients not reaching the best state. If it is too feminine, it will not be strong enough, and the best parts of the ingredients will not be able to be perfectly extracted, and the unnecessary essence of the ingredients will be lost. Only by combining rigidity and softness, matching with each other, and making up for each other, can the ingredients in your hands reach the extreme. ”

Huo Lao paused, and then said to Xie Heilong in a very satisfied, envious tone: "All spirit cooks have a combination of rigidity and softness, so the distinction between good and bad physiques between spirit cooks lies in whether the rigidity and softness can exist in a perfect proportion. And you are the only perfect body that you have encountered in your life. The realm that you have not reached in your life as a teacher can only rely on you to help you achieve it. ”

After listening to Huo Lao's words, Xie Heilong knew that his adventure this time would change his life in the future. For the sake of Master's lifelong obsession, he also needs to move forward bravely. Repay Master's kindness with action.
