Chapter 8: Killing chickens and fish shows cooking skills, and showing talent with the weak defeating the strong
After Xu Jinghuai returned to Weng's Mansion after investigating the invasion of sea beasts, he found smoke rising from the kitchen. Looking at the past, good guy, Weng Zhuyue's originally fair cheeks are like a flower cat at the moment.
Xu Jinghuai still didn't understand what was going on, and said helplessly: "Don't you even know how to cook?" ”
Weng Zhuyue choked on the smoke and coughed a few times, came out of the kitchen, and snorted angrily: "I eat ready-made, where will I cook." ”
Xu Jinghuai shook his head and sighed, walked into the kitchen, used the wind technique to disperse the smoke, and then looked for the ingredients. He found three sea fish in the wooden basin, a few mushrooms in the bamboo basket, and the big rooster on the ground that had been whipped to death by Weng Zhuyue.
Xu Jinghuai rolled up his sleeves, lit the firewood with a fire palm, then fished out the sea fish, slapped it to death with one palm, and then began to clean the scales and internal organs. Before half a cup of tea, all three sea fish were processed. After that, he urged the fire palm to speed up the boiling of water and deal with the big. When the ingredients are ready, heat the oil, start stir-frying, and then fry the sea fish. The skill of his technique is staggering.
Weng Zhuyue saw this scene and left the kitchen in shame. After a stick of incense, the braised sea fish and chicken stewed mushrooms are ready. Weng Zhuyue tasted it and wondered, "Were you a cook before?" Or did you learn to cook? ”
Xu Jinghuai glared at her, and said angrily: "Is it necessary to learn something as simple as cooking, which is so simple that it can't be simpler?" ”
Weng Zhuyue stuck out her tongue and began to enjoy it. But I thought in my heart, this guy shouldn't be a woman in his last life, right? And she's a very beautiful woman.
Xu Jinghuai didn't eat, but went out to practice impermanence marksmanship. He is now in the realm of Dao people, and as long as his aura is not exhausted, he will not starve to death.
After Weng Zhuyue finished eating, she went to pack her luggage. As for the method of cleaning up, it is natural to raid the Weng family, anyway, she is the master.
Xu Jinghuai saw this scene and reminded: "Worldly gold and silver have no effect on cultivators, so let's find some magic weapons and spirit stones." After speaking, he threw her a hosta and explained, "This hosta is a storage weapon, and the spell is the willow tip on the moon, and people are about after dusk." ”
Weng Zhuyue accepted the hosta and said with a smile: "If you want to make an appointment, you don't need to wait until after dusk." ”
"You're just like Yu Ping right now, annoying."
"No, I'm a hundred and seven men short of her."
Xu Jinghuai rubbed his temples and sighed: "I really found guilt for myself." ”
Weng Zhuyue searched around, but she didn't even see the shadow of a spirit stone, it seemed that her brother took it. She was resentful and went crazy in the courtyard with a long whip. Suddenly, a sparrow flew by, and Weng Zhuyue flung it away, but was dodged by the sparrow.
Xu Jinghuai held his forehead, thinking to himself, what a character Weng Jie is, the whip method created is so unbearable in the hands of future generations. Seeing this, Weng Zhuyue chased after him with a whip. The sparrow flew to the small ancestral hall of the Weng family and disappeared.
Weng Zhuyue looked at the enshrined tablet and said angrily: "It's too much, even the ancestral tablet is abandoned." ”
Xu Jinghuai walked in, glanced at the tablet, and found that there was no Weng Jie. Puzzled: "It shouldn't be! How could it be without her? ”
Weng Zhuyue replied: "The ancestors of the Weng family are training, women do not stand tablets. ”
After hearing this, Xu Jinghuai said sarcastically: "If you don't worship the martyrs who resisted the sea beasts, but put some waste on it, your Weng family deserves to decline." ”
Weng Zhuyue was a little unhappy, and argued: "If it weren't for the defense of the sea beasts, how could my Weng family have fallen to this?" ”
"That's because you're stupid." Xu Jinghuai was angry for a while, and actually destroyed the tablet enshrined by the Weng family with one palm.
However, he actually made an unexpected gain with this palm. The incense burner of the confession fell to the ground, and a small box fell out of it. Weng Zhuyue opened it and saw that there was a demon pill and a shadow jade inside. The demon pill is blue as a whole, with four purple lines on it.
Xu Jinghuai was a little shocked and said, "Fourth-Order Sea King Dan? ”
When Weng Zhuyue heard this, she held up the Sea King Pill and said confidently: "This is the evidence that the ancestors of our Weng family resisted the sea beasts. ”
"That's not necessarily, Neptune Dan can also be bought."
Weng Zhuyue snorted, and picked up the shadow jade to check it again. This shadow jade was left by Weng Jie's nephew Weng Shun, and the content recorded on it is roughly the invasion of sea beasts, Weng Jie's father and younger brother were all killed in battle, leaving this fourth-order Sea King Pill to record their merits. After the sea beast retreated, the Weng family was unable to gain a foothold in Xuancheng and moved to Laicheng.
Weng Shun's talent is average, and his temperament is too impatient, so he gave up practicing ancestral exercises. Instead, he hit the idea on the wind, snow and cold night left by Weng Jie to sacrifice the deceased. However, sacrificing the deceased on a windy, snowy, cold night is really not suitable for a man's cultivation, coupled with its special cultivation conditions, how can Weng Shun control it.
However, Weng Shun thought of an idea, that is, to cultivate the wind, snow and cold night sacrifice to the deceased in the way of law and war cultivation, and changed the whip method. The original wind, snow and cold night sacrifice of the old people paid attention to overcoming rigidity with softness, both offensive and defensive. However, Weng Shun has become ruthless and tough, only attacking but not defending.
Interestingly, he had good results in the early stage of cultivating like this, and he had also achieved certain achievements. However, when he was easily broken by a sword cultivator, he realized that he was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The sword cultivator seriously injured him, and at the same time made him realize his stupidity. He returned home, left the shadow jade, and warned future generations that if it were not for a woman, they should not practice the wind and snow and cold night to sacrifice the deceased, so as not to lose the face of the ancestors.
However, once something is wrong, it is difficult to turn back. The descendants of the Weng family did not want to practice the big waves and sands, but specialized in the whipping method that was powerful in the early days. As the saying goes, the phoenix gives birth to a peacock, and the peacock gives birth to a large peng, and one generation is not as good as the next.
It's a lot clearer here. Xu Jinghuai looked at the tablet that was destroyed by him, coughed and said, "That... The worship is in the heart, and the tablet is nothing more than a piece of wood. ”
Weng Zhuyue was very calm, she put away the shadow jade, and replied: "The practice of the big waves and sands may be on my father. ”
Xu Jinghuai frowned slightly, and admonished: "You still cultivate the wind, snow and cold night to sacrifice the deceased." ”
"It's not for me, it's for you."
Xu Jinghuai took out Weng Xingwei's storage bag, and after finding the practice of washing the sand in the big waves, he returned the storage bag and the golden silkworm armor to Weng Zhuyue, and gave some additional spirit stones. Weng Zhuyue accepted the things, looked at Xu Jinghuai, and was silent.
————————————
On the official road from Laicheng to Xuancheng, a man and a woman ride together, and the interesting thing is that there is a horse behind them. Weng Zhuyue bent over, clutching the saddle, her body and face covered with mud.
"Can't you just slow down?" Weng Zhuyue said with some resentment.
Xu Jinghuai said angrily: "It's okay if you don't know how to cook, and now you can't even ride a horse." I just want to ask, what the hell will you be? ”
Weng Zhuyue thought for a while, she didn't seem to know anything, but she couldn't lose her momentum, and replied: "I will have a child, will you?" ”
Xu Jinghuai was choked by these words, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Do you order anything else besides giving birth?" ”
"Hmph, as long as I give birth to a son like you, do I need anything else?"
Xu Jinghuai thought that his mouth was quite sharp, but in the face of this problem, he was speechless. The two walked for a while, and Xu Jinghuai suddenly thought of how to go back.
"With your brain, the son you gave birth to is not very smart."
"Is it okay to be born with you?"
"I don't like stupid and weak women."
"Were you born so strong? It's not an acquired cultivation yet. ”
"Strength can be improved, but stupidity can be cured."
"You're wrong."
Xu Jinghuai snorted and said curiously: "Where did I go wrong?" ”
"The key to a woman's intelligence depends on the men around her. There aren't many smart people in this world, and there are only a handful of perverts like you, so I'm not stupid. ”
"Are you complimenting me?"
"No, don't get me wrong, I don't think you're a smart man."
"I want to hear about it."
"A smart man would not refuse a woman like me, let alone be so rude."
After hearing this, Xu Jinghuai laughed. Weng Zhuyue puffed out her cheeks and snorted angrily: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at you for being so narcissistic, you don't have anything in you that appeals to me. The women I am interested in are at least above the seventh grade. ”
"Really? Let's make a bet. ”
"Bet on what?"
"If one day, I can advance to the seventh rank, you will kneel down and apologize to me."
"Joke, what do I need to apologize to you?"
"You killed my father and ruined my family, don't you need to apologize?"
"First, I didn't kill your father; Second, you are not ruined, but abandoned. ”
"I don't care about this, just ask if you dare to bet?"
Xu Jinghuai thought about it for a while and felt that it was a good thing to give her a goal. Taking a step back, even if she could really advance to the seventh rank, she would have already gone to the immortal realm by then.
"Okay, I promise you."
When Weng Zhuyue heard this, she felt a sense of loss in her heart, she didn't understand what she was missing.
After these words, both of them remained silent, and Xu Jinghuai gradually slowed down, on the one hand, to take care of Weng Zhuyue, and on the other hand, because the horse's physical strength could not keep up.
Seeing that he was about to leave the boundary of Laicheng, there was a sound of breaking wind in the sky. Xu Jinghuai looked up and saw that a group of sword immortals dressed in white were flying with their swords. The leader was a fairy, but instead of a sword, she had a white crane at her feet.
Xu Jinghuai thought to himself, they should have come to help Laicheng. After all, the invasion of sea beasts is a major event related to the rise and fall of the human race, and cultivators should take the responsibility of resisting it. This is also the main reason why he is willing to cultivate Weng Zhuyue. As for why he didn't stay, it was because his strength was still very weak, and resisting sea beasts was tantamount to suicide.
The sword immortal in the sky above is a disciple of the Pingjiang County Sword Sect. Laicheng was in an emergency, and the county guard Pang Bo asked for help from the Northern Underworld royal family on the one hand, and on the other hand, he called on the cultivators of Pingjiang County to go to support.
When the Sword Sect heard about this, it sent two elders, Xia Yuan and Zhang Long, with their disciples, to save people first. After that, consider how to deal with it according to the situation.
Zhang Long found Xu Jinghuai and Weng Zhuyue below, and guessed that they should have escaped from Laicheng. Therefore, let the disciple Gao Feng understand the situation.
Gao Feng Yujian descended, and when he walked in front of Xu Jinghuai, he asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
Xu Jinghuai dismounted and bowed, and said respectfully: "Hui Xianjun, I just came out of Laicheng in Xia." ”
"How's the situation in Laicheng?"
"Back to the Immortal Monarch, the rising sea has flooded several surrounding fishing villages, and the Immortal Monarch who guards the tower died in battle, and now the city lord is stationed in Laicheng."
"Are you a cultivator?"
"Hui Yu Immortal Monarch, he is a cultivator below, but his cultivation is low, and he is really powerless to resist the sea beasts."
"So you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and abandon the city and flee?" Gao Feng suddenly yelled.
Xu Jinghuai was not angry, and explained: "The invasion of sea beasts happened four days ago, if I was really greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not have ventured to the beach to find out the situation." ”
"But you escaped."
"This Immortal Monarch, Laicheng is already an empty city, my cultivation is low, if I don't escape, will I wait for death? What's more, I inquired about the situation and went to report to the county guard. ”
"Are you a sword cultivator?"
"It's not a sword cultivator, it's a Dan cultivator."
Gao Feng snorted and said, "If you are a sword cultivator, I will kill you now, get out!" ”
Xu Jinghuai bowed, got on his horse and left. Gao Feng also returned to the sky and told him about the situation in Laicheng.
After hearing this, Zhang Long sighed and said, "It's already an empty city, and I have no intention of going." ”
Gao Feng objected: "Uncle Shi, even if we can't save people, we can still kill sea beasts!" ”
"What do you know, the Guardian Immortal Monarch is a spirit immortal, and even he died in battle, which means that there must be a third-order Sea King this time, or even higher." Zhang Long taught.
The Gao Feng family was wiped out by the sea beasts, so they naturally had a lot of hostility towards them. Now that he is a little sword immortal, he has to kill a few sea beasts to vent his hatred. He looked at Zhang Long first and persuaded: "Uncle Shi, if you retreat at this time, I am afraid that others will laugh at you." Then he looked at Xia Yuan and asked, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean?" ”
Xia Yuan looked at Xu Jinghuai below and wondered, "Since it is Dan Xiu, why does it have the breath of a sea king?" ”
When Zhang Long heard this, he seemed to remember something, and guessed: "Could it be that they are the Sea King?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Yuan asked.
"It's normal for you to be young and not know about this, in the past, when the sea beasts invaded, there would be sea kings who turned into human forms and blended into the human race in order to change."
When Gao Feng heard this, he was furious and said fiercely: "No wonder he only escaped now, it turned out to be to harm people." I'm going to kill him. ”
Gao Feng swords down, emitting a sword aura as he approached Xu Jinghuai. Xu Jinghuai sensed the killing intent, and fled with Weng Zhuyue on his horse. The sword qi fell, and the poor horse was split in half.
Xu Jinghuai didn't understand what was going on, and just as he was about to ask, he saw Gao Feng stabbing with a sword. He cast a Ling Xuan step, avoided a sword, and asked, "What does the Immortal Monarch mean?" ”
"Hmph, it's really not Dan Xiu. You brute, take your life. ”
Xu Jinghuai was helpless, sacrificed his spear, performed impermanence marksmanship, and with Ling Xu's pace, he was able to protect himself for a while. He explained to Gao Feng that he was really not a sword cultivator, and that he was reporting to the county guard on this trip. However, Gao Feng's move is fatal, how can he listen to his explanation.
Above, after the peak went down, a disciple seemed to think of something. asked, "Uncle Shi, isn't the Sea King at the fourth order before he can transform into a form?" ”
Zhang Long was stunned when he heard this, and then forcibly explained: "If you use some treasures, you can also transform when you are a little sea king." ”
The disciple looked at the battle below and wondered, "Even if it's the little Sea King, it's not so weak, right?" ”
Xia Yuan had been observing Xu Jinghuai, and was very interested in his marksmanship and body skills, and was fascinated for a while. It was only after hearing the disciple's question that she woke up. knew that Zhang Long had a good face, so he took the pot and replied: "I misjudged, he is not the Sea King." ”
The disciples naturally knew Zhang Long's character, and no one mentioned this matter again. The disciple who had asked the question also began to change the subject. "That kid's marksmanship is good, but it's a pity that his cultivation is a little worse. I guess Senior Brother Gao will win in less than ten moves. ”
Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "Which is worse, it is a big difference." ”
These words shocked the other disciples, Gao Feng is a little sword immortal, a big realm worse than him, isn't that the spear master realm? Fighting Sword Immortals with a spearman, it has lasted so long, is it possible? However, the answer lies below.
Gao Feng is a pure sword cultivator, in other words, every sword he has with sword energy. Xu Jinghuai is not a gun fairy after all, and after a battle, it is unspeakably miserable. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he sacrificed Danhuo to cooperate with the attack.
When Xia Yuan saw this scene, she was surprised: "It's still Dan Xiu." ”
Generally speaking, the power of the Dan Fire is only related to itself. However, when the Dan Master subdues the Danhuo, the fire he chooses needs to be within his control. After all, Danhuo is mainly used for alchemy, and if it can't be accurately controlled, how can it be alchemy. Because of this, the power of Danhuo can be roughly judged from the grade of Dan Master.
However, the Snow Lotus Fire is more special, it was not accepted by Xu Jinghuai, but was encountered by his father by chance. Therefore, the power of the Snow Lotus Fire cannot be judged by Xu Jinghuai's Danshi grade.
Gao Feng was stunned for a moment after seeing Danhuo, but his mind was already occupied by anger at the moment, and he couldn't think normally. Because, as long as the brain is normal, you will understand that Xu Jinghuai is not the king of the sea at all.
I saw Gao Feng holding a sword in his right hand, pinching the sword fingers in his left hand, and slowly brushing the sword body. Xu Jinghuai felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, and suddenly remembered that Sun Yao had said that he was a disciple of the Sword Sect, and he used a trick at the beginning. Xu Jinghuai felt the murderous intention, and the next scene quickly played out in his mind.
At that moment, Xu Jinghuai seemed to understand why the impermanence marksmanship did not have a big killing move. Because, at all, there is no need for it.
Gao Feng came out of the sword, the same as Xu Jinghuai expected, but the speed was faster. However, it is still within acceptable limits. I saw that Xu Jinghuai stabbed out with a shot, and immediately turned back halfway, turned to an oblique pick, and changed his move again halfway, turned around and swept with a spear.
Gao Feng's swordsmanship pays attention to one go, and he is most afraid of hesitation. However, Xu Jinghuai's two changes of tactics made him hesitate, and it was a moment of hesitation that ended this good game of defeating the strong with the weak. The Snow Lotus Fire attacked the peak under the cover of Xu Jinghuai, and the peak was forced to return to the sword to resist.
Such a good opportunity, how could Xu Jinghuai miss it. The spear stabbed out with true qi, and at that moment the peak was difficult to resist, and death would be his end. However, Xia Yuan made a move. The gap between the realms of the two sides was too big, and Xu Jinghuai's spear was cut off in an instant.
"What's your name and who is Master?" Xia Yuan asked.
Xu Jinghuai looked at the broken gun and said coldly: "You deceive people too much. ”
Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said a little apologetically: "If I don't keep your spear, I can only break one of your arms." I hope you will understand. ”
Xu Jinghuai threw down the broken gun and asked rhetorically, "Let me understand?" Then why can't he be considerate of me? I was chased and killed by sea beasts in the bitter tracing sea, and I survived nine deaths and one life, but now I am being forced to this extent by you self-proclaimed high sword immortals, which is really ridiculous. ”
"That's it, let's go!" Xia Yuan understood that no matter what she said at the moment, it was useless.
Gao Feng accused: "Since you have the strength, you should fight the sea beast to the death, instead of abandoning the city to survive." ”
Xu Jinghuai looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed to the peak, and said disdainfully: "A brainless fool like you, no matter how strong your strength is, you are just a reckless man." If it were as you say, the Terrans would have been extinct long ago. ”
Gao Feng was stopped by Xia Yuan when she wanted to say something, and then she looked at Xu Jinghuai and asked, "According to your meaning, do you just sit back and ignore the sea beasts slaughtering the city?" ”
"I didn't mean that."
"I want to hear about it."
"Defending against sea beasts should be done within one's means, not fearlessly adding casualties. In my case, although I retreat now, in time, my strength will cost the sea beast. ”
"That's true, it's just your time, when is it?"
"Shorter than you." Xu Jinghuai said confidently.
"I have ambition, it's just that I am now seven hundred years old, a six-grade pure sword immortal. Do you still think you can surpass me? ”
"Absolutely."
"Okay, if you can really surpass me, I will pay you a magic weapon." After speaking, he grabbed a severed gun in the air.
Xu Jinghuai put away the rest of it, and then left with Weng Zhuyue.
Above, Zhang Long descended with his sword and said with a smile: "Since Senior Sister Xia admires her so much, why don't you bring it to the Sword Sect?" ”
Xia Yuan stroked the broken gun, and said earnestly: "I feel guilty, it's not good to go." Then he looked at Gao Feng and admonished, "Don't be so reckless in your future actions." ”
Gao Feng was unconvinced: "He has something to hide, and he can't complain about me." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Long slapped him and said, "My Sword Sect's face has been lost by you. ”
Gao Feng was stunned by the fan, and a disciple transmitted a message to him, saying that Xu Jinghuai was only a gun master. After hearing this, Gao Feng was ashamed.
