Zheng Yan woke up early the next morning, a little cold, and saw that Zheng Nanzhu was still sitting cross-legged, the bonfire had already been extinguished, and there seemed to be some light outside, so he got up and walked out.

At this time, it was still early in the morning, the whole earth was covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost, desolate and cold, the wild grass and trees nearby, the hills and forests in the distance, the sky was light and the frost was amazing, Zheng Yan stretched his waist and rubbed his face, and shouted a few voices in the distance, the sound was mixed with internal force and spiritual force rolling away, and the surrounding frost and snow were all excited.

Zheng Yan felt that his mind was open and far-reaching, and he couldn't help shouting word by word, "The frost sky is colorful, dare to ask when the ice and snow will come, Hugh said that the heavy mountain is occupied." Longshang people standard. If there is a wild shop ancient road to lead, thousands of scoops, only the rivers and mountains. The avenue is far away, the world is cross-current, and the wind and dust are drunk with me, so what?

Shouting like this, he felt that his whole person seemed to be more magnificent, Zheng Yan couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he was silent for a while, and then squatted down in a daze. After a while, I remembered the footsteps, "You are rich in heart", and I don't know whether it was sarcasm or just judgment, Zheng Yan was unmoved, still bowing his head and saying nothing.

Zheng Nanzhu walked to the front and saw Zheng Yan staring at a charred ground under his feet, thought for a while and said, "If you only talk about the power in the general sense, the thunder method is divided into three levels, human thunder, cloud thunder, Heavenly thunder, the five thunder righteous law or the small five thunder righteous law is within the scope of human thunder, the five internal organs of the body refining and gathering into one, the power depends on the practitioner's physical condition and cultivation, the strongest can actually reach the first level of cloud thunder, it is said that the power of the immortal cultivation of the big five thunder is comparable to the heavenly thunder; Thunder and rain occur in the lowest heaviest, closest to the earth, so the thunder and lightning produced are classified as the cloud thunder level; as for the thunder, we can rarely see it now, most of them have heard that the thunder is one of the thunderstorms, and it belongs to the kind that is not very powerful, and the stronger ones are Shenxiao Purple Thunder, Taiqing Star Thunder, Chaos Divine Thunder, etc. Last night, Deng Nan finally released about the first level of thunder, so he can scorch the land",

Zheng Yan raised his head and asked curiously, "Taiqing Star Thunder?"

Zheng Nanzhu nodded and said, "The stars in the sky are running all the time, and if the two stars of the opposite nature approach to a certain distance or there is friction and collision, thunder and lightning will be generated, so it is called Taiqing Star Thunder, and there is a "Shenxiao Thunder Book" in the mountain book building behind the ancestral hall, with a total of eight volumes, although many of them are legends, but it should be the best practice for cultivating thunder law in the world now",

Zheng Yan came to be interested, I remember hearing that there are only four volumes of the "Shenxiao Thunder Book" that exist now, Neidan Leihua, the curse seal, the small five thunder Zhengfa, and the imperial envoy Yunlei, there should be nine complete volumes, and I don't know which volume is missing from the clan collection.

This time, Zheng Nanzhu did not leave Zheng Yan alone, and the two casually ate some dry food and went on the road together.

When the sun is about to set, I finally arrived at the foot of Dunyang Mountain, there are no towns to see here, there are villages and towns that have basically been abandoned, mainly dry, almost invisible river flowing, there is indeed a dark river underground, but I heard that it is buried very deep, and the soil is full of big stones under a foot deep, and it is too difficult to dig a well;

Zheng Yan glanced at the steep, towering and strange rocky mountains, and asked strangely, "Are we going to take the ancient road to transport stones?"

Zheng Nanzhu put the long sword on the ground and pressed it with one hand, and after a while, he said softly, "Spend the night in Biyou Lake tonight, and go to the tiger enclosure tomorrow, and drive a hundred horses back to Baoyue City."

Zheng Yan was a little puzzled, "When did Biyou Lake have such a place?"

Zheng Nanzhu didn't answer, just calmly looked at a small mound not far ahead, just when Zheng Yan was puzzled, the mound with a radius of ten zhang suddenly began to crack, as if something was about to come out, and then he saw clearly the behemoth that broke out of the ground, it was a wild boar, in fact, it didn't reach the point of "behemoth", one zhang high and two zhang long, this is not small, such a big pig is definitely enough for the people in the village to survive the winter.

The wild boar shook its huge head, snorted and chirped with its nose and fangs on the side of its mouth to arch or slap a few pieces of small gravel up, and shook its body again, the dirt and stones sticking to its body fell one after another, and it seemed that it was finally refreshing, and a smile actually bloomed on his face, Zheng Yan was very disappointed, and he couldn't do anything to the guy who opened the wisdom.

There were a few screams and angry shouts from under the wild boar, only to see a giant more than a foot high standing up in the mound, Zheng Yan fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually a monster with a bull head and a human body, but the top of his head was bare and a little weird, and then looked closely and it turned out that the two horns were pulled out, Zheng Yan instantly thought of the bull monster that Xingwei said, it couldn't be this guy, right?

The bull monster hated and punched the giant pig who was shaking and tickling, and the giant pig's body shook and hummed and chirped very unhappy, "Zheng Nanzhu, Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for a long time, and today I have to chop your little white face into meat puree", said the bull monster and found a thick iron rod from the soil,

Zheng Nanzhu's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and said indifferently, "Where are your horns?"

When the bull monster heard this, his body froze, and then he became angry, and shouted loudly, "Can you control it? If you want to fight, you can fight so much nonsense, and you are more girls than girls", although he said this, but the bull monster just waved the stick in his hand indiscriminately, and did not move half a step under his feet.

Zheng Yan secretly glanced at Zheng Nanzhu's reaction next to him, and secretly said that this old cow is really tired and crooked, he doesn't care if you scold his ancestors for eighteen generations, but you scold him for being a girl, this is serious, it just disappointed Zheng Yan, Zheng Nanzhu didn't mean to teach the cow monster a lesson, just walked straight to the mountain, Zheng Yan couldn't help but glance at the top of the cow monster's head again, the bull monster was very embarrassed, and then glared at Zheng Yan fiercely.

During the chat, Zheng Yan finally learned that the bull monster could actually turn into a human form, but he felt that the human form was too imposing, like a chicken, so that he could not highlight the majesty of his king, so he kept this half-human and half-cow appearance, and gave himself a very domineering name, Niu Batian.

Zheng Yan asked again if this guy had any intention of taking revenge on Xingwei, Niu Batian said that he couldn't beat it, and he would wait for a hundred and eighty years to find a way to get back to the field, Zheng Yan was a little relieved, this guy's strength is so strong, not to mention the quality of all aspects of his body, how could Xingwei be able to fight with such a soft and gentle appearance, he must have used some strategy to succeed before, and it seems that he has also suffered a lot of injuries, and when he is powerful... Wait, what's the matter with you?

When it was almost dark, I turned a corner and suddenly opened up, and a rippling mirror lake appeared in front of me, with the lake and mountains, surrounded by green pines and cypresses, and couldn't help but make people feel refreshed and happy under the afterglow.

Zheng Nanzhu turned his head to look at the wild boar, the wild boar's eyes were dripping and fast, seeing Zheng Nanzhu squinted his eyes, the wild boar swished, and then poofed, jumped into the lake, Zheng Nanzhu walked in one direction, Zheng Yan looked at the faint stone mountain in front of him, there seemed to be a small cave halfway up the mountain, and there was a stone tablet, which was probably where these two guys lived.

Zheng Yan was observing the surrounding scenery, and suddenly there was a sound by the lake, several fat golden carp were beaten by wild boars and flew up, and Niu Batian on the side had already braided a straw rope, strung up all the carp on the shore, hung it on an iron rod and carried it to the cave. Zheng Yan was still standing in place, a little stunned, a golden carp of more than 20 catties! It was not a koi, it was a four-bearded golden carp! It was actually ready to be eaten! If this was to make the powerful giants in Luoyang see it, they wouldn't be distressed to death?

The wild boar spirit got a few more, and then climbed ashore, and with an arch of his nose, he actually swung his nose like this, and ran towards the cave happily with his tail wagging his tail, Zheng Yan sighed and followed, not noticing that there was a ripple in the lake not far away.

The cave is very large, the bedroom, the kitchen and the hall are separated, each room does not have any superfluous carvings, simple to almost primitive, compared to Xingwei Shuangyun They are simply a heaven and an underground, in fact, it is also, practitioners in daily life mostly respect simplicity and simplicity, the pursuit of refinement There are also some, but there are really few, Xingwei They are living, or they will not be bored to find Zheng Yan to learn music and read and write.

Zheng Nanzhu sat on a wooden stake and looked outside in a daze, Niu Batian had already picked up a pine tree from the woods, and then smashed it into a pile of broken wood with the iron rod that was not light at first glance, Zheng Yan caught a splash of wooden thorns and was a little helpless, Zheng Nanzhu turned around and said, "Zheng Yan, you come to make fish, if you let him do it, don't think about eating it",

Zheng Yan reluctantly cleaned up the fish in a stone trough, and the wild boar spirit lay aside and seemed to watch very pleasantly. There is a mountain spring flowing down the stone trough, just used to rinse, eight golden carp of more than 20 catties, which makes Zheng Yan's heart full of entanglement and complexity, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Niu, don't you eat grass? This guy also eats fish?"

Niu Batian rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You just eat grass, can I eat enough grass for such a big cow? How much do I have to eat? How much time do I have to delay in cultivating?"

Zheng Yan was speechless for a while, he did see cattle grazing in the countryside for almost half the day, which was really delaying.

There are a lot of bottles and cans in the kitchen, Niu Batian pointed out to Zheng Yan what spices are in each jar, and there is obviously rapeseed oil newly squeezed this year, it seems that this guy will also go to human villages and towns, but I don't know whether these things are robbed or sold, Niu Batian on the side is very intimate to Zheng Yan to solve the question, "Lao Tzu is not short of money, there is a lot of gold and jade in the ground here, but Lao Tzu doesn't like those things, they all pick up pine nuts and chestnuts to sell in the city for money, and then buy these things back, it's so interesting, hahaha",

When Zheng Yan was making fish, Niu Batian took out a basket of pine nuts and chestnuts, the size was huge, the pine nuts were comparable to chestnuts, Zheng Yan was a little undivided at the beginning, but they were all raw, looking at the two cauldrons next to him, Zheng Yan simply made sugar fried chestnuts and spiced pine nuts again, the outside was completely dark, and after a while, a round of Haoyue, which was bigger than the entrance of the cave, jumped out of the mountain and fell into the lake, such a scene is really beautiful.

The bright moon is like a clear glow like frost, the outside is cold and pure, and the inside is a fiery red fragrance, Zheng Yan likes this contrast very much, Zheng Nanzhu seems to be a little addicted, and she has not moved while sitting at the entrance of the cave.

The wild boar essence had already been lying on the stove of fried chestnuts and pine nuts, and Niu Batian had already ignored the stove where the fish was boiled, and concentrated on taking care of the two stoves here, and it seemed that eating grass was still soaked into their bones.

All finished, the three of them sat at a stone table, a large plate of fish, a large plate of fried chestnuts with sugar, a large plate of spiced pine nuts, three pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and the wild boar essence was on the other side.

Zheng Yan felt really good after eating a few bites of fish, there was no earthy smell that is common to ordinary carp, and it was very tender and delicate, and there was some different taste, and he was about to take another bite, when he suddenly saw a very beautiful face poking out of the hole, a pair of big watery eyes full of beauty and sadness, and Zheng Yan looked at each other and quickly retracted back, Zheng Yan was a little surprised, Niu Ba Tianxia chopsticks flew in his busy schedule and said vaguely, "Get in, don't let Lao Tzu say it a second time",

After a while, a delicate girl wearing a golden tights walked in, Niu Batian turned his back to her and said in a rough voice, "If you eat, sit down and eat, if you don't eat, get out",

Zheng Yan admitted that he was a little pitiful, the girl lowered her head pitifully, her hands were twisted together and seemed to be both nervous and scared, probably mainly because this girl looked very young, sixteen or seventeen years old, but her body was a little more mature, and her face was still a delicate baby face, but Zheng Yan also knew that this girl was mostly a monster, but he still got up and took a pair of chopsticks for the girl and pulled her to the table.

The girl lowered her head and didn't speak, and she didn't sit at the table, with the help of the light, Zheng Yan opened it up, the girl was already full of tears, thinking about comfort, but she didn't know where to start, Niu Batian on the side didn't have a good breath and said, "Don't eat, get out if you don't eat!"

Zheng Yan didn't know what to do with them, so he didn't speak, but he saw the girl clench her hands and suddenly raised her head and said seriously, "You don't eat them anymore", her tone was soft, and she couldn't tell if it was a warning or a request.

Niu Batian didn't have a good temperament and said, "Eat you?",

The girl cowered and took a step back, just happened to meet the wild boar essence chewing pine nuts in the back, the wild boar essence came over with a nose very unceremoniously, Zheng Yan saw the pair of fangs subconsciously reached out to grab the girl's waist and pulled it to his side, and will avoid it, the girl was like a frightened little canary, looking at Zheng Yan pitifully,

Zheng Yan hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Why can't you eat it?"

The tears in the girl's eyes immediately turned again, and she sobbed and said, "They are all my kind",

Zheng Yan was extremely embarrassed for a while, this girl was really a golden carp, she not only slaughtered her kind, but also cooked, and ate several chopsticks, etc., is this really the same kind? Why don't Scarlet and Xuanzhen have this complex?

Niu Batian and Zheng Nanzhu on the side were eating by themselves, not caring about the girl's tears at all, Zheng Yan coughed a few times and wanted to remind them to say something, suddenly a fish flew up and fell into the basin of the wild boar essence, the girl's eyes followed the fish and fell, and finally cried loudly, Niu Batian slapped it on the table with one hand, and the girl trembled and only sobbed,

"There are no predators in the lake, and now it is flooding, and I just jump on the shore without catching them, and how many do you say you keep by the water every day to pick them up? When you wake up, how many are you dead? Oh, now you don't sleep, look at you? How much essence do you have? How long can you last this body? When they can't keep it, no one cares about them and they have to jump to the shore again, you still can't save them, and now almost everything they can eat in the lake has been eaten by them, if I don't help you reduce the number, they won't be able to live, besides, let me tell you again, it's because of your care, that for more than a thousand years, there has been no one who has opened up the mind except you, and it doesn't make sense to reason with you, are you still a fish head?

Zheng Yan didn't expect that the seemingly honest and stupid bull monster would be so eloquent, and then look at the girl next to him... Wait, sister, isn't there a stool next to this? What are you leaning on me for?

The girl finally stabilized her mood, Zheng Yan peeled a few fried chestnuts for her, the girl smiled when she ate the first one, and when she finished eating, she looked at Zheng Yan with an expectant face, Zheng Yan had to teach her to peel and eat it herself, and the girl soon left the sadness of being eaten by the same kind behind.

Zheng Nanzhu was full of food and drink, glanced at the girl, and said calmly, "Didn't anyone come to you some time ago?"

Niu Batian chewed pine nuts and said vaguely, "Why not, what kind of demon court is going to be built, how many years has it been since the last demon king died, and there are still people who are worried about this, it's really boring",

Zheng Nanzhu peeled a chestnut, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and said softly, "Didn't you follow him for many years back then?

Zheng Yan was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at Lao Niu a few more times, Niu Batian sneered, "It's all supported by a few big demons, what do you think happens after they die? By the way, these guys who came to me this time are not simple, and the exercises they took out are not worse than the books of your Zheng family, I guess they must be from above, but they have already touched the Taihua Arm Ridge."

Zheng Nanzhu nodded and said, "It's indeed from above, probably because of the neglect of the management of the world thousands of years ago, and now the spokesperson is being re-cultivated."

Niu Batian sneered and said, "Is there going to be a big mess in the world again? What is the people's heart that you have been talking about? I have seen it inside and out for three thousand years, and I still think that this thing is like mud, and it is what it looks like, and when it is slightly relaxed, it immediately turns into a puddle of soft mud when it encounters water, and burns it into a bowl with a strict pipe, but once it is broken, it is really broken, and it can not be pinched up again, unless it is calcined with fire."

Zheng Yan nodded and said, "People's hearts are like sand, gathered because of the situation, dispersed because of the situation, gathered and scattered are the people's will, and the potential can be the people's will or not."
