On the bank of the river, the strange old man practiced footwork and martial arts, his movements were concise and fast, full of a mysterious and mysterious taste. （）

Ling Xiao stood by and watched, his eyes suddenly straightened.

Because he found that the martial arts practiced by this old man were very good, and the level was much more advanced than his second-grade martial arts 'Ghost Step', he looked at the side for a while, and his mind immediately became cheerful, as if he had been ordered by a master, and he had a deep understanding of the body martial arts.

Subsequently, Ling Xiao was even more impatient, and followed the old man's rehearsal movements, and practiced......

At the moment when Ling Xiao was cultivating this footwork martial art, the two Holy Fire Sect masters who were bathing under the waterfall a few miles away from him suddenly moved.

"There is a situation, there seems to be a stranger's smell in the water!"

One of the two Holy Flame Sect masters bathing under the waterfall was about forty years old, with big ears and a black mole at the corner of his eye.

Another is around thirty years old, full of strong flavor: "It is the breath of an outsider, it should be somewhere upstream." ”

"Let's go, go up and have a look!"

These two people don't talk much, but they have a very precise grasp of things.

They quickly sensed that there was something unusual in the upper reaches of the waterfall, so they immediately put on their clothes and chased down the river.

After a while, they came to the place where Ling Xiao was arrested, and even saw the picture of the strange old man teaching Ling Xiao's footwork martial arts.

"Hey, that'...... Isn't that the ancestor? Why is he here?"

Suddenly seeing the picture hundreds of meters away, these two masters of the Holy Fire Sect were immediately stunned, and said in great surprise: "The old ancestor has a very strange personality, and it is very difficult to get close to...... Who is that young man who followed the old ancestor to cultivate martial arts? Could it be that the old ancestor has newly accepted a closed disciple?"

"I don't know!"

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man with a black mole in the corner of his eye, another Holy Fire Sect master shook his head and said, "The whereabouts of the old ancestor have always been elusive, and sometimes it is difficult to see him once in ten days and half a month, whether his old man has any new disciples, who can say for sure?"

"However, the martial arts that the old ancestor taught to that young man at this time seems to be a technique that our Holy Fire Sect does not pass on, so it can be seen that even if this young man is not a new disciple of the old ancestor, he is also a person that his old man values very much, and we will meet in the future, so it is best to be polite." （）”

"Makes sense. ”

The middle-aged man with a black mole nodded: "The old ancestor is moody, let's make a note of the appearance of that young man, and then leave quickly." ”

"Well, let's go, if you are caught by the old ancestor, you will have to bear it!"

The two masters of the Holy Fire Sect were very afraid of the strange old man, and the two of them whispered before they quickly left.

These two people are highly cultivated, and they don't make a sound when they walk around.

Ling Xiao, who was practicing the footwork martial art 'Ling Bo Weibu' in the upstream river, didn't notice it at all.

At the same time, he didn't know that the crazy old guy in front of him was actually an incredible existence, and it seemed to be a super big man in the Holy Fire Sect......

The movements are light and swift, and the pace seems slow but fast. （）

Standing in the icy water, Ling Xiao carefully watched the pace of the strange old man's drill, and he was fascinated.

In the end, the movements he imitated also brought this weird taste, and when he stepped out, it seemed to merge with the river water, without any waves.

And in this case, Ling Xiao suddenly became a transparent person, he walked around the river quietly, even the very clever purple gold fish in the river, he couldn't detect it...... Seeing this scene, the strange old man on the shore showed a faint surprise on his face.

"You kid has a good understanding, this three-grade martial art 'Ling Bo Weibu', when Lao Tzu practiced back then, it took him more than half a day, and your kid learned faster than Lao Tzu!"

The strange old man scolded, and immediately stopped what he was doing: "Okay, this Ling Bo Weibu will teach here...... You use the footwork you learned now, quickly catch fish for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is already very hungry, and he can't catch any more fish, Lao Tzu will make you look good!"

Awakened by the strange old man's scolding, Ling Xiao frowned.

Because he finally entered a wonderful artistic conception just now, he could have an epiphany of things, but he was suddenly stirred up by this old guy.

But now, he has to bow his head under the eaves, so with a faint wry smile on his face, he is looking for it in the river and catching the purple goldfish.

At this time, Ling Xiao learned the three-grade martial arts 'Ling Bo Weibu' taught by the strange old man, this Ling Bo Weibu, although Ling Xiao has not yet learned it all, but the footwork has been qualitatively improved, he walked around the river without making the slightest sound, and found the traces of two purple gold fish in a moment.

Then, he quietly walked up, and when his hands were close to half a foot of the purple gold fish, he exploded, and all of a sudden, he caught two purple gold fish like purple jade. （）

"Whahaha, yes, yes, you kid still has some ability, and you caught two fish at once. ”

On the shore, the strange old man saw that Ling Xiao had caught two purple gold fish, and immediately danced happily: "When Lao Tzu caught fish for the first time, it seemed to take a few hours, and you kid is actually more resistant than Lao Tzu!"

The strange old man praised Ling Xiao a few words, and then he rushed to Ling Xiao with an arrow and snatched the two purple gold fish.

"Boy, there's nothing to do with you, you can go. ”

The strange old man snatched the purple goldfish, forgot about Ling Xiao, and then happily walked to the bank of the river, ready to make a fire and grill the fish.

Hearing that the strange old man asked him to leave, Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and planned to leave quickly.

But seeing the strange old man, some crazy people were about to put the purple gold fish on the firewood pile for barbecue, which made Ling Xiao, a self-proclaimed gourmet, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, and then reminded: "Old man, this purple gold fish is not grilled like this, and the fish grilled like this can't be eaten at all!"

"What do you know about this kid, Lao Tzu has eaten fish for many years, and he has done it this way, and he hasn't found anything wrong. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xiao was a little speechless: "Old man, haven't you tasted the fish when you eat it? The fish you copied out has a bitter taste, which is very unpalatable!"

"Hey, how do you know? Can you get rid of the bitter taste of the fish?"

"Of course. （）”

Ling Xiao said proudly: "You may not know that this fish you grilled, the name is 'Purple Gold Fish', it is a kind of fish with fat flesh and melts in your mouth, if you want to make a delicacy, you need to pull out the fins on its body first, because there are a lot of impurities on the fins, if you don't remove them, then the whole fish will be harmed by it." ”

"I see!"

After hearing Ling Xiao's words, the strange old man suddenly realized: "That's right, you kid is so proficient in cooking, then it's up to you to grill fish for Lao Tzu." ”

"But if the fish is not as delicious as you boast, Lao Tzu will roast you alive. ”

A kind reminder caused this kind of trouble, which made Ling Xiao smile slightly bitterly.

But seeing the covetous look of this strange old man, the unhappiness in his heart quickly faded: "Then I'll show my hand, I haven't fiddled with cooking skills for many years, and I hope there is no regression." ”

Ling Xiao said, just stepped forward, took the purple gold fish from the strange old man's hand, and peeled and washed it by the river: "Do you have seasoning? You know, if you want to make a good dish, you can't do it without condiments." ”

"Spices? ”

The strange old man suddenly took out a small bag from behind him, and when he opened it, it was full of all kinds of spices.

"Drink, it's very well prepared!"

Ling Xiao laughed, that is, spray these spices on them first according to the steps in his memory.

Then he set up two purple gold fish, went to the place where the sun was most intense, and began to expose to the sun.

"Boy, what are you doing here? Lao Tzu is asking you to grill fish, not letting you dry fish!" Seeing Ling Xiao's movements, the strange old man suddenly became a little unhappy and shouted.

"If you don't understand, don't argue. ”

Ling Xiao said a word, seeing the strange old man furious, he hurriedly continued: "Do you still want to eat fish? You know, this fish is not an ordinary fish, and the method is naturally different." ”

"Count you kid ruthless!" The strange old man held back his anger: "But if you can't do it, hum ......"

"I won't be able to do it!?"

Ling Xiao said loudly: "The meat of this purple gold fish is delicate, it cannot be grilled over high heat, but needs to be roasted slowly, and the sunlight can be called the mildest flame, and the taste is the best...... Moreover, there must be thousand-year-old ice crystals in the water in which the purple goldfish lives, and it has survived in this environment for many years, and it naturally has the energy of thousand-year-old ice crystals in its body, and it cannot be grilled over high fire. ”

When Ling Xiao said this, he asked rhetorically: "Old man, is there a thousand-year-old cryocrystal mine in the upper reaches of this river?"

"Millennial ice crystals!?"

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, the strange old man's color changed for the first time: "This thing is very rare, how can there be here!?"

"You kid Hugh wants to inquire, hurry up and grill your fish!"

Seeing the strange old man's expression, Ling Xiao immediately knew it, but he was very jealous of this strange old man, and he didn't expose his lies, and he fiddled with the purple gold fish by himself.

After about half an hour, Ling Xiao sprinkled the last layer of seasoning on top of the purple goldfish, and then looked at the strange old man: "Okay, you can eat!"

"What? That's good!?"

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, the strange old man jumped up all of a sudden, and pointed at the purple gold fish: "You are fooling Lao Tzu, this fish doesn't even have a trace of warmth, I'm afraid it's still raw!"

"Whether it's raw or cooked, won't you know if you try it?"

Ling Xiao was a little speechless, communicating with these guys who didn't know how to cook really made him lose face.

"Okay, then Lao Tzu will taste it, if there is a problem with this fish, Lao Tzu will pick your skin!"

The strange old man threatened Ling Xiao fiercely, and then he picked up a purple gold fish and took a slight bite.

Immediately afterwards, the strange old man's face changed violently, as if he had eaten a bomb, and his face was suddenly filled with surprise, eagerness, and fascination: "This...... Is this the kind of fish I've ever eaten? It's delicious!"

A look of intoxication appeared on the face of the strange old man, and he praised it vigorously, and began to eat like a person who had been hungry for ten days and half a month.

The two purple gold fish that Ling Xiao roasted were not very big, but they were both more than half a foot, and the two added up were also four or five catties, but only half a cup of tea was swept away by this strange old man, and his eyes were still full of longing.

"Boy, you're such a genius!"

After eating the purple gold fish, the strange old man's attitude towards Ling Xiao suddenly changed, and a flattering smile appeared on his face: "I have been roasting and eating this fish for many years, and now that I think about it, I really eat it on dogs, and it is a terrible thing!"

The weird old man vented for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Boy, what other delicious food do you make besides making this fish?"

"Ahem, it's not that I'm boasting!"

Hearing the strange old man's inquiry, Ling Xiao couldn't help but show a proud look: "In this world, there are only those that fly in the sky, walk underground, and swim in the water, but there are none that I Ling Xiao can't make, and everything I make is a fine product!"

"It's so powerful!?"

When the strange old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, Lao Tzu, I haven't confiscated any disciples yet, so I'll accept you as my chief disciple today, boy, why don't you hurry up and apprentice!Chinese?"
