Section 124 Candle Flames
Then, everyone walked into the "Vegetable Mountain" of the second mountain and the "melon and fruit mountain" of the third mountain in turn......
Along the way, the sin monks saw Dai Xue, just like a wolf saw a rabbit, and the cat smelled fishy and flowed, and crawled over with bright eyes, but they were all whipped to death by the warrior monks. It seems that this place is not as good as the prison outside. Eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and having to work, is simply a slave without human rights.
The four-fold mountain is the place where the scriptures are copied. Monks don't like to use printed books, they write all by hand. Mt. Goe is the place where you live. On the hill there are many large thatched houses, and there are hundreds of them. The monk in charge of the accommodation took the two cultivators with him, and the trip was over.
On the way back, Zhang Peng was still a little worried, so he asked Tie Xin Cicada, "What if they practice here, what will they do if they become stronger in the future?" ”
The latter then explained that except for the first heavy mountain, the rest of the nine mountains here are mirror mountains, and the aura is extremely thin, and it is impossible to practice at all.
"Can't you practice without Reiki?" Zhang Peng said strangely, in his impression, the Xiao family sisters didn't seem to have this kind of requirement, and they could cultivate anywhere.
"The vast majority of cultivators need an environment with abundant spiritual energy to cultivate. Unless there are some extremely talented and powerful people, they can draw energy directly from the void and strengthen themselves. You can practice anywhere. The Ironheart Cicada replied.
"Are there many people like that?" Zhang Peng asked again. If those two evil cultivators had some chance and had an epiphany, and suddenly became a great power, wouldn't he be in danger? The characteristics of cowardice are cautious, long-term vision, and always leave a good way out. And the safest way is to stifle the threat in the cradle. In the story, many big devils do this.
Tie Xin Cicada smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Master Zhang Peng, don't worry......" Then he stretched out four fingers, "Such power, the entire Lotus Mountain, and even the entire southern part of China, there are only four of them." The abbot of the pure sea, the silent master, and the double lotus. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Peng felt a lot more relieved. That's right, Da Nian is not a cabbage, where is it everywhere?
Half an hour later, everyone left the Lotus Temple, got on the bus, and returned to Nanzhou City. Before leaving, Zhang Peng pulled Xiao Tang to introduce him to Tiexin Cicada to promote the company's daily necessities. The entire Lotus Temple, at least tens of thousands of people. One roll of toilet paper and one toothpaste for one person is already a lot of money.
"Master Zhang Peng, don't be so polite." The Iron Heart Cicada said with a smile.
"What's polite, it costs money." Zhang Pengmu said with a wooden face.
"Uh......" The old face of the iron-hearted cicada turned red, mistaking it for a donation. In the end, under the soft grinding and hard bubbles of Zhang Peng and Xiao Tang, they reluctantly asked for a truckload of goods.
At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to Huangsha Village. Li Dazhuang had a treat and had a sumptuous supper. The matter of the five ghosts killing is over.
At half past ten, Zhang Peng returned home. "Candle Flame" and "Heroic Spirit" are constantly thinking about in my mind. What is the connection between the two? After taking a shower, he decided to give it a try, ran downstairs, knocked on the door of the commissary, and asked Ma Jinglei for two white candles.
Then light it on the refrigerator and place the black chess piece in the middle. Under the candlelight, the surface of the chess pieces seems to flow with flames, like a dream.
If you look closely, the material of the chess pieces is a bit like black crystal, the surface is transparent, but the inside is covered with black impurities, and the light cannot penetrate.
After looking at it for a while, he didn't find any changes, and Zhang Peng tried to summon the skeleton assassin again, but he didn't find any clues. At this time, a wave of sleepiness hit, and he casually put the chess pieces aside and went to sleep in the bedroom.
When I woke up the next day, the candles on the fridge burned out, leaving a pile of white wax. He picked up the chess piece next to him, and soon found that the material had become transparent. When it is in the sun, it looks like deep black glass, crystal clear.
"Vocare Assassin ......"
A thick black mist rose from his hand and fell to the ground, condensing into a solid.
"I am here, my master......"
"I feel more poerful......" The voice was deep and powerful.
Compared to yesterday, the Assassin's form has become more solid. Under the shabby black robe, the luster of leather is reflected. The bare bony hands were wearing a pair of leather gloves, a belt around their wrists, and long leather boots under their feet. And on the face, there is a black mask covered with gold patterns. But these are secondary, the key is that the sharp knife in the skeleton's hand actually has a trace of flame flowing from the blade.
It seems that last night's candle flame blessed it with some effect. In the dark, Zhang Peng felt that it had become more powerful, but in terms of the sum of energy, there was no change in the slightest. Perhaps, the function of the candle flame is to purify the impurities in the yin qi and make the energy more pure.
Zhang Peng's mind moved, and the skeleton assassin immediately turned into black mist and flew downstairs. If you want to know if you have become stronger, just take Ma Jinglei to try. Although this time, the Skeleton Assassin also sent back the warning of "danger", but it was much better than the last time. At least it dared to come close and looked out of the window for a moment.
When the skeleton assassin flew back, an image automatically appeared in Zhang Peng's mind.
In the dimly lit commissary, Ma Jinglei was sitting behind a glass cabinet, peeling peanuts. It seems that at noon today, there was a "peanut stuffy pig's feet" to eat. And just as she sensed it and looked over, the image ended.
"Hahaha......" Zhang Peng couldn't help the smugness in his heart and laughed. I didn't expect this skeleton assassin to be so practical, he can fight, he can scout, and he can retract and release freely, it's just perfect. But for some reason, after snooping on Ma Jinglei, the figure of the skeleton assassin seemed to be blurred a little, and it seemed that it still couldn't be easily approached. Although Ma Jinglei is not as good as her two daughters, she is still much more powerful than ordinary people.
Putting away the chess pieces, Zhang Peng went out and came to the commissary. When she entered the door, Ma Jinglei was looking out the window with a wary face. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly pulled him to his side and whispered, "Someone was peeking outside just now, and as soon as I turned my head, he ran away, definitely not a good person." ”
"I didn't see anyone, could it be a delusion?" In order to reassure Ma Jinglei, Zhang Peng made up a lie, "Oh, I remembered." When I was on the balcony just now, I saw a plastic bag flying by, the black one, which is used to hold garbage......"
"Ah, that may be a mistake......" Under his flickering, Ma Jinglei's tense nerves relaxed and continued to peel her peanuts.
"Auntie, I'll help you get it." Zhang Peng said as he reached out to grab the peanuts that were stained with mud and slightly wet in the basket.
"Don't get your hands dirty." Ma Jinglei opened his hand and refused to help. glanced at him, and said, "There are meat buns and soy milk in the kitchen, go get them and eat them." ”
Zhang Peng had no choice but to bypass the glass cabinet and walk into the kitchen. At a glance, the kitchen is more than ten square meters, which is quite large. On the left is the window with a view of the grass and magnolia trees outside, on the right is the freezer for storing meat, then the vegetable washing station, then a large square table with rice cookers and baskets of washed vegetables and fruits. On the opposite side of the door are gas stoves and range hoods.
There are a lot of things in the kitchen, pots and pans, all kinds of seasonings, but they are well organized, and the floor is very clean, not to mention the residue of vegetable leaves, and even the oil stains are not visible.
At the very back of the kitchen, there are two sliding doors, one for the toilet and one for the bathroom. This kind of housing pattern is mostly seen in the dormitories of state-owned enterprises in the seventies and eighties. It's old-fashioned, but it's functional.
People living in the city center, due to the limited living area, often like to reduce the size of the kitchen and bathroom, or even close the balcony to increase the indoor space. But in fact, people who understand life would rather live smaller, rather than enclose the balcony or reduce the space in the kitchen.
The bedroom can be smaller, because it is rarely left in the bedroom except for sleeping, and it can also save on air conditioning costs. But the kitchen is small, and it will get in the way when you make things. You know, most of the time housewives spend in the kitchen. For example, Ma Jinglei, if Zhang Peng and the two sisters are there. So she spends at least four or five hours of her day fiddling around in the kitchen. And the large balcony is also convenient for drying clothes. As for the living room, it's basically enough, but it's too big to clean up.
Ma Jinglei doesn't have many requirements for the living room and bedroom, but the requirements for the kitchen and bathroom are very high, the kitchen is at least ten square meters, and the bathroom is at least five square meters.
There was a large cauldron on the gas stove with a stainless steel lid on top and a small fire burning underneath. Lift the lid and a puff of steam comes out. There is a ceramic basin and a large clay pot with soy milk.
Zhang Peng dipped the dishcloth in water and brought the things out of the pot. The steaming meat buns and soy milk, accompanied by some peanuts and pickles, made him feel comfortable. Ma Jinglei's goodness lies in her carefulness and always doing things ahead.
Regardless of whether Zhang Peng came for breakfast or not, as long as he was there, she would prepare it in advance. He can come at any time and have a hot meal.
"It's delicious, thank you Aunt Ma." Zhang Peng was eating steamed buns and drinking soy milk while currying favor.
"Don't eat too much, wait for Auntie to get you flowers and pig hands to eat." Ma Jinglei said.
"Hmm." Zhang Peng nodded in response.
"After lunch, accompany my aunt to buy goods." Ma Jinglei said again.
"Huh?" Zhang Peng looked puzzled. Usually Ma Jinglei goes to buy goods, but she won't call him. He couldn't move or carry it, and he got in the way.
"Today, Li Ji Grocery Store also went to buy goods, you help Auntie take a good look at what they have entered." Ma Jinglei looked at Zhang Peng and said seriously.
Zhang Peng suddenly beat a drum in his heart, it turned out that he was asked to be a little spy again......
"This ...... Okay......" Despite his reluctance, he agreed. It's a critical moment again, the Chu River and Han realms, the enemy and our camp, betraying friends to seek glory, and never being soft.
After breakfast, Zhang Peng secretly took a small envelope and stuffed two big red tickets into it. So as not to be seen through by Li Chunsheng's mother, she can't find the bottom of the steps.
Then, in front of Ma Jinglei, he called Li Chunsheng, "Chunzi, are you free in the afternoon?" ”
"I'm going to help my mom buy the goods, what's the matter, I'll talk about it later." Said over there.
"What time are you going?" Zhang Peng asked seemingly casually.
"About half past two." Answer truthfully.
"Then you get busy first." Zhang Peng hung up the phone, and then made a small report to Ma Jinglei, "Li Ji set off at half past two." The latter nodded slightly, and threw an approving glance at him.
