Chapter 3 Gluttonous Xiaobai
Carefully putting the talisman pen and talisman paper aside, Ye Xiu took out the map, about the map of the cultivation world, Ye Xiu also heard Li Laodao mention it yesterday, because cultivators will go out to practice, so the map is a very important and necessary thing in the eyes of cultivators.
Because of this, the map making technology and technology here are also very sophisticated, and most of the maps are at the Dao level, such as the one in Ye Xiu's hand, which is a yellow-level Dao weapon.
Ye Xiu unfolded the map on the boulder, injected a little spiritual power to urge, and a colorful picture immediately appeared on the originally blank map:
This is a map of the Fuluan Mountain Range, according to Ye Xiu's previous understanding from the collection of the Fu Qi Shop, there are endless mountains in the westernmost part of the cultivation realm, known as the 100,000 Great Mountains, and this Fuluan Mountain Range is the most marginal small mountain range among the 100,000 Great Mountains.
According to the map, Wutong Town is located in the north-central part of the Fuluan Mountain Range, and the light point shown on the map is where he is currently located, which is just out of the range of Wutong Town, and further east is a mountain called Qixia Mountain.
According to the map, the Wutong Town that he just left is the nearest populated place nearby, followed by Qixia Town, but if you go there, you have to climb over the towering Qixia Mountain in front of you, and at your current speed, if you continue to walk, I am afraid that you will have to sleep in the deep mountains.
Although Ye Xiu has not stepped out of Wutong Town in the past ten years, he has occasionally heard from hunters who come to the talisman shop to buy talismans that because this place belongs to the range of 100,000 mountains, wild beasts are rampant in the deep mountains, extremely dangerous, sometimes unlucky, and will encounter some terrifying demon beasts, and every time the demon beasts are mentioned, even the most senior hunters will talk about the color change!
At that time, Ye Xiu out of curiosity, but also did a special study of demon beasts, according to the book, in the cultivation world, cultivation is not only human beings can do, all creatures in the natural world can cultivate, and these cultivation creatures are collectively called demons, demons are divided into demon beasts, can speak, shape, and tribulation several realms according to different levels.
Among them, it is only the little demon in the Demon Beast Realm, and its strength is equivalent to that of a human Dao Tong Realm, or even a cultivator in the Daoist Realm! At this time, the demon has already broken away from the category of beasts and has begun to have spiritual intelligence, coupled with the strong physique of demon beasts, compared to ordinary mortals, if they encounter demon beasts in the deep mountains, it will be a nightmare!
The realm of words is equivalent to the cultivator of the realm of human Taoists, and the demon at this time is no different from people, and he can speak human words, hence the name.
As the name suggests, the Transformation Realm can break away from the beast body and transform into a human form, which is equivalent to the powerhouse of the Human Dao Realm.
As for the demon of the Tribulation Period, he was already a top-level existence in the cultivation world, and it was not something that Ye Xiu could understand now.
The 100,000 Mountains are the main areas where the demon beasts are active, although Qixia Mountain is located on the edge, but the number of demon beasts is not a few, considering the potential danger, Ye Xiu plans to repair and prepare here for one night, and then enter Qixia Mountain tomorrow.
After entering the Dao Tong realm, although his physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary mortals, it is equivalent to the level of a martial artist among mortals, but it is still far from the demon beast, the real advantage of a cultivator is that he can use Dao weapons, as well as a wide variety of Dao techniques! Thinking of this, Ye Xiu is ready to draw some yellow-level low-grade talismans for self-defense.
After simply eating a few bites of the dry food in the baggage, Ye Xiu devoted himself to making talismans...
Only half a day has passed, Ye Xiu has already drawn more than a dozen talismans, and none of them have failed, although it is only a yellow-level low-grade talisman, but the Dao Tong Realm has this kind of speed and success rate, it will definitely cause a sensation in the outside world!
At this time, it was getting dark, Ye Xiu stopped making talismans, and put the talisman in the wide sleeve of the dust suit, where there was a special place to store the talisman, which was convenient for use at any time during the battle.
Ye Xiu stretched his already stiff waist with satisfaction, for a whole afternoon, he had been concentrating on the cultivation of talismans, the consumption of spiritual power made his body feel quite tired, and when he relaxed at this time, a violent feeling of hunger came from his abdomen.
I don't know if it's because it's the first time I've consumed so much spiritual power at one time, Ye Xiu still feels very hungry after eating all the dry food in the baggage!
Looking at the empty grain bag, Ye Xiu suddenly had a further understanding of the experience mentioned by Li Laodao:
After coming to the cultivation world, Ye Xiu has been staying in the Fu Gong shop, although he has to be responsible for taking care of the shop every day, but he can be regarded as worry-free, now Ye Xiu is alone in this wilderness, looking for food has become his current top priority, if he can't even fill his stomach, how to talk about the experience, let alone how to cultivate, presumably Li Laodao has already thought of this, so he only brought Ye Xiu a day's dry food.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu no longer hesitated, got up and looked around him, and by the afterglow of the evening, Ye Xiu keenly found that there were many fat swimming fish in the stream beside him.
couldn't help but feel happy, Ye Xiu found a sharp wooden stick, and started to fork the fish, relying on the agile skills of the Dao Tong Realm, in just a moment, Ye Xiu caught seven or eight fat big fish, and took advantage of the fact that it was not dark yet, collected some wood and spices, and then grilled the fish.
When it comes to grilled fish, Ye Xiu is extremely good, you must know that in the past ten years, he has been responsible for the diet of the Fu Gong Shop. It's just that at the moment, Ye Xiu found that he was facing another serious problem: how to make a fire!
I have a few fireball talismans in my hand at the moment, but I can't waste a yellow-level low-grade talisman just to simply make a fire, right? Ye Xiu has already begun to regret at this time, why didn't he bring a few ordinary talismans when he went out!
At this time, the surroundings were completely dark, and Ye Xiu could barely see the surroundings clearly with the help of the moonlight, holding a piece of firewood in his hand, Ye Xiu fell into deep thought:
"Li Laodao once said that all laws are connected, and Taoism is not immutable, since Taoism can be drawn onto rune paper to make runes, why can't Dao be drawn on this dry wood to make a fire?"
Thinking of it, Ye Xiu took out the talisman pen that Li Laodao gave him, and drew the fireball talisman on the firewood according to the method of drawing talismans...
Soon, a complete fireball rune was successfully drawn on the firewood, but no matter how Ye Xiu injected spiritual power, the rune was completely unresponsive!
But Ye Xiu seemed to be born with a spirit of perseverance, and he once again concentrated on the firewood in his hand, and fell into deep thought:
"Firewood is not rune paper, rune paper because of its special role, you can import runes, but firewood is not the same, how to adjust it so that the runes can also be activated on firewood?"
The habit of concentrating on one thing that he has developed in the past ten years soon made Ye Xiu enter a strange state of self-forgetfulness, at this moment, Ye Xiu seems to have entered the state of "entering the Tao with a talisman" that day, everything around him has become no longer important, and there is only one question in his mind, if Li Laodao is here at this time, he will definitely be surprised that he can't lift his chin, Ye Xiu has actually entered the state of entering the Tao again!
You must know that ordinary cultivators can only enter the state of initiation once in their lifetime, but Ye Xiu entered the second initiation so easily, how can this not be surprising!
For Ye Xiu, who had entered the state of initiation, the time around him seemed to have become meaningless, and for two whole hours, he was sitting on the boulder with a firewood in one hand and a talisman pen in the other, as if he had merged with the stone under him.
A flying insect flew by, intending to fall on Ye Xiu's head to rest, but at this moment, Ye Xiu, who was originally stationary, suddenly burst out of a fine light in his eyes, and the rune in his hand flashed, and a fireball rune flashed on the firewood in an instant, and the entire rune was formed in one go, like a fireball talisman, but it was different from the fireball talisman.
The moment he put away the pen in his left hand, Ye Xiu snorted lightly:
"Burn!"
The firewood in his right hand ignited a raging fire.
After lighting the firewood pile in front of him, Ye Xiu neatly put the fish he had prepared before on the fire and roasted it, feeling the warmth of the firelight and the aroma of the grilled fish from time to time, Ye Xiu, who was already hungry, felt extremely happy in his heart!
Just now, he successfully mastered a unique method of quickly drawing runes on any item, although this simplified rune is currently much less powerful than the rune, but it is better in speed and arbitrariness, this advantage will definitely have a surprise effect when facing the enemy, and Ye Xiu is confident that in the future, this method will continue to improve, so that it can exert more powerful power!
Looking at the grilled fish that gradually turned golden on the surface, even Ye Xiu himself couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, the fatty and tender grilled fish coated with special spices was simply invincible delicious!
Speaking of this special barbecue spice, I would like to thank a hunter who often frequents Li Laodao's talisman shop, Ye Xiu would ask him about some things about the surrounding mountains because of the time, so every time this hunter came to buy a talisman, Ye Xiu would secretly give him a discount, and the two became old acquaintances who talked about everything, and the hunter also taught Ye Xiu a recipe for making spices that he had passed down from his ancestors.
The material of this spice is extremely common in the Fuluan Mountains, so Ye Xiu often uses it to grill fish or cook some other food, such a delicious thing is naturally the best appetizer, and Li Laodao, who eats it, said bluntly, Xiao Yezi is a natural cook.
As soon as the fire arrived, Ye Xiu took down the grilled fish and was about to feast on it, when he suddenly heard a weak cat meow behind him.
At first, Ye Xiu thought that he was hallucinating, because after entering the Dao Tong realm, the cultivator would have a special ability called divine consciousness, through which he could easily perceive everything that was happening around him without using his eyes.
The range of divine consciousness perception will expand with the improvement of the realm, and the perception distance of the Dao Tong Realm is five zhang in radius, although it is not large, but it is also the most suitable for the current Ye Xiu as a safe distance, which is also the reason why Ye Xiu dared to sit here with a big grin without defense.
But a cat meow came from behind him again, but it made him sure that he had heard it correctly this time, and that the thing that listened to the sound and made the sound was less than a foot behind him.
"Could it be a demon beast? It can even evade my divine consciousness silently!"
Thinking of this, Ye Xiu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly snorted carelessly, he quietly lowered his right hand into his sleeve, pinched a fireball talisman in his hand, and turned his body cautiously.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, Ye Xiu was taken aback, because what he saw in front of him was really a cat, to be precise, a white kitten!
At this time, the kitten was staring at the grilled fish in Ye Xiu's hand without blinking, and after seeing Ye Xiu turn around, he called "meow" twice.
Like Ye Xiu's previous life, there are cats in the cultivation world, and the old lady in the grocery store next door has a big cat, and she often runs to the Fu Urn shop to steal Li Laodao's things.
Ye Xiu likes cats very much, so when he occasionally touches them, he will find something to eat for them.
But Li Laodao doesn't seem to like this cat, and every time he sees it, he will pretend to drive it away, which is also the main reason why the old lady next door doesn't want to see Li Laodao.
The kitten in front of him looked extremely cute, and the expression on his face was also like a poor child, Ye Xiu saw that it was so pitiful, so he tried to hand the grilled fish in his hand forward, and sure enough, the kitten didn't seem to be afraid of Ye Xiu, and came to the grilled fish in a few jumps, and after looking up at Ye Xiu, he buried his head and ate happily.
Ye Xiu stuck the wooden stick with the grilled fish on the ground, ignored the kitten, and found another extremely fat grilled fish, put it on the bonfire and roasted it.
It's just that when he was grilling the fish, he suddenly felt that the corner of his clothes was touched by something, and when he looked down, it was the kitten just now.
At this time, the latter was comfortably rubbing Ye Xiu's trouser legs with his little head, and from time to time he peeked at the second grilled fish in Ye Xiu's hand.
"You little guy hasn't left yet, haven't you eaten yet?"
With doubts, Ye Xiu turned his head to look at the place where the first grilled fish had just been inserted, only to see that the originally fat grilled fish at this time had only a bunch of fish bones left!
Looking at the kitten in front of him, who was less than the size of a palm, Ye Xiu couldn't help but be shocked!
"Where the hell did this little guy eat such a big fish?"
Originally, Ye Xiu was just talking to himself before, but he didn't expect that the kitten seemed to understand, and nodded straight at Ye Xiu, as if to say:
"Yes, I really didn't eat enough, and I still want to!"
Ye Xiu saw that this kitten seemed to really understand his words, so he tried to say:
"Okay, then give you this fish too. After hearing this, the kitten immediately showed a happy expression on his face, squinted a pair of big watery eyes, and barked at Ye Xiu to flatter...
