Chapter 13: Prophecy Through the Ages
Looking at the bright sunshine in the sky, Wang Xu sighed helplessly with his cheeks, facing the old Hama sitting opposite him, and his mind was completely transferred to today's lunch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When this guy was digging in the mud at the bottom of the river yesterday, he dug out four or five pieces of rough lotus roots like human arms, and just as he was about to throw these dirty things aside to rot and become moldy, Wang Xu suddenly appeared behind him.
After leaving countless shocking footprints on Mang's buttocks, the unlucky guy wept and took the two unlucky lotus roots to the river to wash and peel them, revealing a light yellow skin.
Wang Xu used a small stone knife to cut the lotus root, deftly peeled off the skin, cut off a piece and put it in his mouth, the water was sweet with a little sweetness, even if he didn't add any seasoning, it was definitely a rare delicacy.
Finding such a delicacy, Wang Xu is now thinking about how to put these fresh lotus roots on the noon table, and it would be really strange if his mind could still focus on Old Hama's boring classes.
Maple syrup mixed with lotus root slices is not only refreshing, crispy and juicy, but also sweet and fragrant maple syrup, just thinking about it, you can't help but want to swallow your tongue into your stomach.
The only problem now is that he can't find the mountain red here, otherwise, a sweet and sour cold salad with lotus root slices, after exercising or working hard, is definitely more refreshing than the gods.
The more he lives in this barren forest, the more Wang Xu feels that this place is simply a huge paradise on earth, with no industrial dust in the air with the unique fragrance of the earth and the woods, and the kind of super green organic food that never knows what pesticides and fertilizers are in his mouth.
In addition to these, there are inexhaustible herbs here, due to the knowledge level of the barbarians, they are far from being able to recognize their relationship, they grow in a good environment, the year is long, and the medicinal effect is at least many times stronger than the herbs cultivated by the human race outside.
In addition to herbs, there are also all kinds of demon beasts and fierce beasts, and all parts of their bodies are excellent materials for refining weapons, medicines, and carving talismans.
In Yu Linglong's words, this is a huge natural treasure house, and the knowledge that Wang Xu brought from the earth and the inheritance of Zhizong that she passed on to Wang Xu are the keys to slowly unlocking this huge treasure house.
What makes Wang Xu cool the most is the barbarians here, although they look barbaric and their lives are primitive to the extreme, but whenever he Wang Xu shows a little ability, that kind of adoring look really makes Wang Xu cool to the point that he can't be more cool.
The only two people who made him unhappy seemed to be Yu Linglong and Old Hama.
Just when Wang Xu's mind was almost flying all over the universe, Old Hama had a straight face and recited an ancient prophecy for Wang Xu in obscure ancient barbarian language.
"When our salt becomes whiter than snow, and the valley is completely covered,
When the beasts of the mountains and the beasts of the demons begin to feed our children with sweet milk,
When our people walk like flying, and the mountains and rivers are like walking on the flat ground,
When our land is full of trees that give us food,
When we are no longer afraid of the bitter cold of winter,
When all the races of the mountains honor our tribe,
It is when Hakus, the god-king of our barbarians, reappears,
He is the Lord of the earth, and no word of praise can describe his holiness,
All the barbarians, no matter which great god they worshipped, willingly knelt at his feet,
Under his leadership, we barbarians will eventually lead to our own Age of Light. ”
Wang Xu's head is about to explode, for him, this thing is like the Bible of Catholicism, or the Koran of a certain harmonious sect, its purpose is nothing more than to give those believers an ethereal hope, this hope, maybe the Western Pure Land of Bliss in the Buddhist scriptures, or the heaven in the Bible where the girl in the Koran is always a virgin.
As a good boy in the new era, Wang Xu is absolutely upright, and if he wants to brainwash him with this kind of mess, it's something he can't even think about.
"Xu, be serious, your attitude is simply blaspheming our gods. ”
Old Hama struck Wang Xu on the head with the bone staff in his hand, which was regarded as a punishment for desertion.
"Teacher, I'm actually thinking that the things in this prophecy are not difficult to come true. ”
Wang Xu tilted his head and said to Old Hama with a smile.
"Stinky boy, do you know what you're talking about!"
The goatee on Old Hama's angry chin fluttered.
"Do you know that this is the greatest sacrifice Halu 10,000 years ago, the prophecy obtained from the ape god, in order to find a way to obtain these visions, we high priests have traveled to various places for many years, eating and sleeping in the open air, and many sacrifices were overwhelmed, so we died on the way to travel!"
"However, I really think that these things are really not difficult to achieve if you think about them carefully. ”
Wang Xu patted his chest confidently.
"Take salt, which is whiter than snow, for me, with a little snack, I can get it out for you. ”
"Stinky boy, I know what you want to say is the sea of the sea, Monkey King has traveled the world through nine hundred and eighty-one tribulations, and he has definitely walked many more places than us, so he has naturally seen the sea. ”
Old Hama said with a long sigh.
"In fact, when the old man traveled with Wang Lei, why didn't he see the sea, in order to be able to study the secret between the sea and the snow-white salt, we lived by the sea for three years, but, stinky boy, do you know where the sea is, I can tell you, in order to get to the beach, we have walked for a year......."
"Pedantic, who stipulates that salt can only be obtained from the sea. ”
Before Old Hama finished speaking, Wang Xu had already retorted angrily.
"As you've seen these days, I've been able to successfully refine coarse salt from the mountain soil......."
In the final analysis, the snow-white salt that old Hama said is nothing more than refined salt that has undergone more refining processes, and the seawater contains few impurities, and it exists in a dissolved way, so it can be easily refined.
"Xu, I have no doubt about the abilities you inherited from the Monkey King, but if you want to get those snow-white salts mentioned in the prophecy, you will definitely not be able to get them without a piece of the sea. ”
Old Hama said to Wang Xu categorically, it seems that after many years of travel, he still can't change the stubbornness in his bones.
"How about we make a bet? In three days, if I can't get this snow-white salt, I'll lose." ”
"Well, if you lose, make me a table of the kind of Manchu and Han full banquet that Monkey King ate when he traveled to the Great Qing Kingdom, one hundred and eight dishes, hahaha!"
Old Hama's foodie nature was revealed, and the saliva in his mouth was about to fall to the ground.
In fact, this can only be blamed on Wang Xu's cheapness, although the story of Journey to the West is finished, but a lot of the knowledge of his later generations has to be attached to Sun Wukong, a cheap teacher, so in order to let all his ideas be able to run unhindered, Wang Xu shamelessly attributed everything, from electric lights and telephones to spaceships, to Sun Wukong's travels.
"If I win, then Cherche ......"
Wang Xu also laughed very thief, after a few days of contact, he has found that the old Hama has a lot of power in the Hengduan Mountains, and even the big beauty Matana is not as good as him, if such an old guy does not make good use of it, he is really sorry for the delicious food he has worked hard to prepare for him every day.
"No, absolutely not!"
Old Hama's head shook into a rattle.
"Bai Xue'er has a blood oath with me, once the blood oath is made, it can no longer be lifted, and there is a relationship between us that depends on life and death, no matter who dies, the other party will automatically die. ”
"Cut, did I say I want you to give it to Bai Xue'er, stingy ghost!"
Wang Xu glared at Old Hama dissatisfied.
"I mean, it won't be too difficult for you to find me a pet like Cherry. ”
Thinking of the way he rode on his pet in the future, the saliva flowing from the corners of Wang Xu's mouth was no less than that of old Hama.
"Stinky boy, do you think a spirit beast of Bai Xue'er's level is so easy to find. ”
Old Hama protested with blood-red eyes and clenched his fists, but soon he burst out laughing with relief.
"Stinky boy, no matter what, this problem of white snow salt, but it has plagued my barbarian tribe countless sacrificial ancestors for ten thousand years, if you can really solve it in three days, let alone a small spirit beast, even if you want a superb demon beast as a pet, the old man will desperately meet your requirements!"
"Okay, then let's just say it, it's hard to chase any horse. ”
Wang Xu smiled sheepishly, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a little fox who had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
"Teacher, since our bet has been made, then we don't have to go to class for the next three days, after all, I need to spend some time studying how to turn coarse salt into snowflake salt, right? ”
This is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone, not only successfully deceived a spirit beast from the old guy as a pet, but also can ensure that he does not have to sit upright and listen to the old guy's nagging for at least three days, thinking of this, Wang Xu's heart is almost about to bloom.
