Unexpectedly, the cultivation is not high, and Lao Liu, the old man who retired to the mountain village, is still a healing saint. Master took me to see him for an old shoulder injury, and he gave me more than a dozen stitches without saying a word.

After acupuncture, I returned to Master's house, and I tried to play a set of knife techniques, and I really felt that my right arm was much smoother in terms of force, and my flexibility was also improved. Hey, it seems that Lao Liu Tou really has a set!

Coupled with a bottle of medicinal oil that Lao Liu gave me to activate the meridians and a recipe for yin meals passed on to me by my master, my old wound on my right shoulder should be completely healed soon.

After solving the problem of the old injury, I asked Master about Cai Yi of the Ghost Dining Gate again. I never thought that when Master heard this name, he sighed again and again, and even burst into tears.

"My waist card accidentally fell into the oil pan many years ago, and the color is slightly darker than other people's." Master recalled, "I didn't expect that after so many years, Cai Yi would still remember ......."

"The waist card fell into the oil pot, master, how could you make such a mistake?" I couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"Hey, I was dropped by Cai Yi! He was young and clumsy. Master was also amused and laughed.

Oh, no wonder! Such a tiny detail, unless it is the person concerned, it is impossible for anyone to remember it after decades.

"And what about his relationship with you?"

"Cai is also my youngest junior brother, introverted and wooden, and he doesn't like my master very much. So my master simply left it to me to discipline and let me teach the art on my behalf. Cai has followed me since I was a child, and I have even taught Yin Gong and cooking, so the two of us have the best relationship among the brothers. ”

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said, "No wonder he didn't report me to the Ghost Restaurant, it seems that he still misses your old feelings!" ”

"Well," the master nodded, and said to me, "And in the ghost dining gate, if I am expelled from the door wall, who will have the greatest impact, it is probably him." I arranged for him to help me in the imperial dining room before, but now I don't know if he's still in it? ”

"I'm pretty sure he doesn't work in the imperial dining room anymore, and he was arranged by the ghost dining door to go to the Zuisheng Building to do chores, and he is responsible for carrying water in the Yin Si stream every day." I said.

"Alas, sure enough, I was the one who caused him!" Master sighed again.

Speaking of which, I mentioned the difficulty of getting the yellow spring water by the way, and asked the master if I could trust Cai Yi and ask him to help get the water?

The master replied firmly: "Cai Yi's personality is simple and upright, and he trusts me the most. With my master-apprentice relationship with you, he shouldn't be able to harm you. Don't worry and tell him that you are my apprentice, maybe he will agree to help you get the yellow spring water. ”

"But will he trust me easily?" I hesitated, "At that time, I didn't know the details of him, so I didn't dare to admit my relationship with you. ”

"That's it," the master pondered for a while, and then on a whim, he took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and I also have something to say to Cai Yi." I'll write him a letter now, and you can find a way to give it to him when you get back, just as a token of your life. He must have remembered my handwriting. ”

"That's fine!" I rejoiced.

Immediately, the master wrote a long letter to Cai Yi with tears in his eyes, sprinkled with joy, I am afraid that it will not be less than a thousand words. After writing, he stuffed it into an envelope and handed it to me. For such an errand, I am naturally happy to run errands.

After that, I stayed at home for half a month, and after calculating the time, I had to say goodbye to my parents and Master and go back to the underworld. After all, the road to the underground is far away, and it is not as convenient as when I was in Zuoqiu City, so I have to go in advance.

When I passed by Zuoqiu Castle, I stopped by to see the bird meat. The last time I left, I left him some yin yuan and let him live in a nursing home to look after the house. He has a disabled leg now, and I don't know how life is going?

Unexpectedly, the bird meat guy was quite bright, and he actually transformed the Tian Laolu Nursing Home into an old-fashioned teahouse, and invited a few old ghosts who can sing and tell stories to come over to support the scene. The guys who work in it also pick the old ghost slaves that no one wants. Birdmeat promised them that they would be exempted from slavery after twenty years of working here, and they would have the option to continue to retire here.

Not to mention, the business of the teahouse is actually passable, at least the money earned is enough for the usual expenses of bird meat. Most of the people who come here to consume are old Yin Xiu and old ghosts who have been dead for more than 100 years, so a group of old guys got together and had a good time, but they really responded to the brand of "nursing home"!

Bird Meat said to me: "I thought, this nursing home is not a problem here, so I just changed it." Although there are still no old people living in it, there are a lot of old ghosts living in it. Respect for the elderly, old ghosts should also be respected, right? ”

I smiled and nodded, "You have a good idea, better than me." I believe that Tian Laolu is also happy to see such a spirit in the sky! ”

In addition, it is said that Lu Dian seems to have mixed well on the ground honeycomb side recently, and has risen to the fourth place. It seems that the ghost mother still values him a lot, even if Lu Dian didn't come out of her belly. After the impact of Zechao, the development momentum of the Earth Honeycomb is also much better than that of the Hungry Ghost Pit and Skull Mountain, and the current situation of the three major ghost gangs is almost equal.

However, the overall recovery of Zuoqiu City is somewhat unsatisfactory, the number of people and ghosts is still significantly less than before, and the two cities on the left and right, which were lively in the past, seem to be a little depressed. After all, the total number of people we lost in Zechao was more than 40,000, including people and ghosts!

Even if they later joined the refugees who fled from Shilin Village, the current Yin cultivator population in the city is only more than 3,000 people, and the number of ghosts is about 60,000, which adds up to only seventy percent of what it was before Zechao.

However, Zuoqiu City has been here for hundreds of years, and with a little more time, I believe it will eventually recover. For this, almost all the people of Zuoqiu did not doubt it!

I followed a caravan of the Teng family back to the underworld again. After the leave, I immediately called Wang Qi and asked him to send me a letter. I specially told him that he must hand over the letter to Cai Yi with his own hands, and it is best not to let others see it.

Wang Qi agreed, took the letter and went to Wangxiangtai. He is still relatively eye-catching, and I am also relieved to leave this matter to him. As for myself, in order not to reveal my identity, it is better not to meet Cai Yi directly.

Wang Qi went for a long time and came back after more than an hour. He still had a letter in his hand, but it wasn't the one my master had written. And it's not so much a letter as a note, for there is only one sentence written on it: "Let this little soldier come to the back door of the drunken building once every three days, and a bucket of water each time." ”

I'm overjoyed, Cai Yi should be regarded as a promise to help me!

After that, Wang Qi followed my instructions and went to Zuishenglou every three days to bring back a bucket of water. I scooped it out and saw that it was all yellow spring water with pure water quality and rich yin qi. With this water, the Void Melons grown are even bigger than before, and the taste of the boiled Huangquan soup is also more pure, which is obviously more than one grade higher than the effect of the Huangquan soup made with Yin Vein Water when he was in Zuoqiu City.

I drank this kind of Huangquan soup every day, and the effect of cultivating Yin Gong really increased greatly, and my cultivation also progressed rapidly, and I soon crossed the initial level of the fourth Yin Gong and broke through to the middle level.

In addition, the strength of my right arm is also steadily improving after eating one more primary yin meal every day. It is estimated that in another two months, it should be back to normal levels.

The name of this primary yin meal is also simple, it is called "Stewed Pork Ribs with Stone Lotus".

There are many underground rivers flowing throughout the underworld, and these water sources provide habitat for many underground creatures to reproduce and bring essential nutrients for growth. In some springs or puddles formed by the convergence of underground rivers, a lotus-like plant grows, but the rhizome is very hard, like a stone, and people call it "stone lotus".

The stone lotus root is stone-like and hard like a stone, and if you want to use it as an ingredient, you need to cook it for several hours to make it soft before you can eat it.

Another main ingredient "pork ribs" is easy to find, using porpoise ribs, which can be bought everywhere in the underworld and is not expensive. Put the pork ribs together with the boiled soft stone root, add rice wine, ginger slices, red pepper, salt, sugar, soy sauce, etc., and simmer slowly over the fire of Liangyi, and you can eat it after half an hour.

Stewed pork ribs with stone lotus root is actually the most basic yin meal, and the ingredients are very ordinary, which is more suitable for the yin cultivation below the second weight. Of course, I didn't eat it to improve my cultivation, but to speed up the recovery of my old shoulder injury with the help of its therapeutic effect.

However, stewed pork ribs with stone lotus root have a big disadvantage, that is, it is time-consuming. Stone lotus roots, in particular, must be boiled over a fierce fire for several hours. And I couldn't have so much time to stay by the stove and watch the fire, so I asked the firehead army in the camp to help me set up another pot to cook the stone lotus root while cooking the meal, and then let Wang Qi bring it to the dormitory for me after the evening exercise.

As a yin school, it is not too much to have such a small privilege, and the firehead army in the battalion has never complained about it. But on this day, somehow let someone know, and I almost showed my stuff!

After the day's exercises, I returned to the dormitory, took out my private porpoise ribs and began to pick them up, ready to open a small stove for myself. At this time, Wang Qi also brought the boiled stone lotus. He has always understood the rules very well, and he brought the stone lotus root and left at the door, never verbose.

I brought the stone lotus root in, but forgot to lock the door. Then I quickly made Huangquan soup and stewed pork ribs with stone lotus, and then sat down and began to enjoy it by myself.

"Tuk Tuk!"

But before he could take two bites, there was a knock on the door.

I frowned and asked, "Who?" ”

"Me!"

It's not Wang Qi, it's someone else. I hurriedly packed my things, trying to hide the secret that I knew how to fry yin food. Among them, the bowl of Huangquan soup is the most eye-catching, and it is bubbling outward. I simply craned my neck and drank it up, but the stewed pork ribs with stone lotus root didn't have time to deal with it. At this time, the people outside were also unruly and opened the door straight in.

When I looked back, it was Wang Song!
