Chapter 13 Building the Foundation or Boiling Chicken
After about half an hour, maybe longer, the immortal cultivator finally finished his "enlightenment", and although he still had a puzzled face, he still walked over refreshed.
"Are your eggs ready? Show me! Seeing that he could move, Liu Chang was overjoyed, for such a long time, he was really a little sleepy and couldn't stand it, his second brother didn't know when, he fell asleep on the stone next to the fire.
"What eggs? When am I going to have whole eggs? Although I was in a good mood, I was still stopped by Xiao Budian.
"You said it yourself, you said you wanted to boil eggs, I waited for a long time, just sitting, and didn't move." Xiao Budian was a little unhappy, and his father said that you are "enlightened", and if you "enlighten", you will "enlighten", but you boiled the eggs first, you said it yourself.
"Did I say eggs?"
"You said before you sat down and went to bed, saying that you want to boil chickens and then boil eggs, you are all immortals, but you can't talk and don't count." Liu Changke was not polite at all, his father said that you are "enlightening", hmph, I think you are sleeping.
"Boiled chicken? Haha, I'm talking about building the foundation, not boiling chicken, hahaha, you heard it wrong" The cultivator reacted and laughed.
The laughter just stopped abruptly twice, and then looked at Liu Chang with round eyes, and then turned from surprise to joy, couldn't help but take a few steps, hugged Liu Chang, and held it high, startling the unprepared Liu Chang and his father: "Little ancestor, you are really my lucky star, I understand!" Hahaha, I see. I said why I have a small amount of food these days, sometimes I can't eat, it turns out, I'm about to enter Bigu, I'm about to get married, hahaha! β
"You're going to lay eggs, what does it have to do with me" Liu Chang asked puzzled when his feet landed on the ground and stood firm.
"Hahaha, little ancestor, when you mentioned boiled chicken, I just remembered that the difference between Zhuji and Jindan was in vain for me to cultivate the Tao for so many years, and I didn't even understand this. The foundation building period and the Jindan period should be divided by what you want to eat, what you look at inside and outside, it's all nonsense, and people don't have eyes in their stomachs, how can they see it? I just want to eat chicken, that is to say, only when I see something delicious, I have an appetite, and I don't want to eat it at all, which is the performance of the foundation building period, I just want to eat meat now, I don't want to eat vegetables, I must have built a foundation, and when I don't even want to eat meat, I will get married. If you think about it, you don't even want to eat meat, so what do you want to eat, you must not want to eat anything, you don't want to eat anything, isn't that the realm of Bigu? What is Bigu, Bigu is Jindan Realm. I want to think about it, what will be Jin Dan in the future, yes, yes, yes, it is Yuan Ying, Yuan Ying will be a fairy after it, hahaha, half of it, half of it will be a god, hahaha, I am half an immortal now. Hahaha, I'll be a half-immortal soon! "The half-immortal dances with his hands, and he doesn't care if others understand it or not, he keeps talking.
Finally saw six people, looking at themselves one by one, only to find that he was a little out of shape, quickly gathered his mind, made the posture of a master outside the world, took four square steps, and slowly walked to the fire.
The fire in the fire is gone, and there are some dark red, I don't know when it burned out.
"Congratulations, congratulations to the Taoist for becoming an immortal," the four entourages hurriedly complimented with a smile.
"Half immortal, half immortal" Half immortal is very modest, but his eyes can't help but look left and right, with a triumphant demeanor.
When he saw Liu Ju's father and son still standing to the side in a daze, and didn't come up to congratulate themselves, they couldn't help but tighten their eyebrows slightly.
"The Taoist chief has proved the avenue, gratifying and congratulating!" After all, Liu Opera is also mixed up in officialdom, how can he not know the thoughts of this half-immortal? Anyway, it's good to be obedient and doesn't need money, so don't talk about it.
"Joy and joy" saw that Liu Opera also spoke, and the half-immortal was very proud, and said casually.
"IβWhat do I like?" These words can choke Liu Ju enough, and it is not good to get angry. I was kicked out of the house by my dad and left in the wilderness, and I almost lost my life, and I was happy?
"Ah, Poor Dao forgot to ask, why did your father and son end up in this wilderness? Ah, Poor Dao remembered, you escaped from marriage, look at the memory of Poor Dao. It seems that in order to say a few more poor roads, the half-immortal said several poor ways in a row: "According to the poor way, you should go back, the mountains and forests are too dangerous." β
looked at Xiao Bu and said: "Being a brother-in-law with my grandfather is better than losing my life." β
"Dao Chief, are you leaving?" Liu Ju asked.
"Yes, the poor road has set foot in all corners of the world, just to find a few elixirs to help the poor road break through the bottleneck, so it seems that there is no need anymore. In a few days, the poor road will return to Huangshi Village. β
"Huangshi Village?" Liu Ju's heart chuckled, this name was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Do you know Huangshi Village?" The poor Dao saw that Liu Ju's face was different, and asked.
Liu Ju thought about it, shook his head, and still didn't think about it.
"Poor farewell, take care!"
"You want to go home, can you leave me a knife" Xiao Liu Chang looked at each of them with a waist knife hanging from their waists, and also carried a bow and arrow, and said.
"This is no problem, you are my nobleman, not to mention a knife, this bow and arrow will also be given to you." Half Immortal is so pleasant today, give one for one.
I said. Half-Immortal Daoist, you hurriedly ran back, won't you just deliver a knife for takeaway" Liu Chang looked at them with a posture of being eager to leave, and hurriedly spoke, but he couldn't let them go like this, although the sky was almost bright, it was not bright to see that it was fast, let alone half-immortal, of course, Half-Immortal Wenwen was almost as weak as his father, those four big men were real big men, one of them was stronger than the three of them together, if this black light blinded out of a beast, we would definitely not be able to deal with it.
"Yes" The half-immortal patted his head, he couldn't remember: "Why did I run back?" Didn't I just run away angry with this bear child? It's certainly not just to give them a knife. β
"Do you know why I'm coming back?" The half-immortal asked the four attendants in a daze.
"You seem to have just said, 'Oh, you've been blinded by this bear kid' and you're back."
"Have you blinded me?"
"We don't know each other, you don't know me, and I don't know you. What am I doing with you? β
"No, it seems like that's the case. Let me think... Looks like you guessed I'm coming back. β
"Of course you're coming back, you have so much curiosity."
"How do you know I'm curious?"
"When you see a little fireworks, you run over the mountains and mountains, and you say that you don't have curiosity?" Liu Chang pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
"Then how can you be sure we're not robbers? What if we are robbers? β
"My grandfather was rich." Liu Chang said lightly.
"Oh?" The man was slightly stunned for a moment, and then reacted, not only laughing, but laughing loudly, and it was heard far away in the open valley, so that in the distance it also attracted the howl of a wolf in response: "Hahaha! It's not easy! It's the first time I, Zhang Daoda, have met such a smart and clever child. I know, what you said for a long time is actually telling us that your family is very rich, let's not kill you, we can exchange your father and son with your grandfather for money! I remembered why I came back, I just wanted to ask if you were any of you! Hahaha, don't talk about your aunt.
If your aunt really wants to marry her sister to you, and she herself wants to marry your father,
Think about it, is your grandfather still alive? Your father's escape, your grandfather will definitely return to Huangquan, since you are performing such a bitter trick, how can you be so reckless, here, you don't have the slightest means of prevention? β
"Can you tell me, then, why did you run over when you saw a little fire? Not entirely curiosity, I guess. No one has that much curiosity to climb over the mountains in the middle of the night. β
"It occurred to me that you might be a herb picker, and you know, I urgently need to find some herbs. As soon as the morning dawned, I couldn't find you, so I took advantage of the firelight to find you. β
"I treat you as robbers, and you treat us as medicine pickers."
"Now it seems that it is." The half-immortal nodded slightly and replied in the affirmative:
"In Xia Zhang Daoda, my father Zhang Qian is a cultivator. Your Excellency is not a person, can you easily inform you of the following, the high surname? β
This time the cultivator squatted down, looked at the five-year-old child very seriously, and then stood up and bowed to Liu Ju very respectfully.
"Are you a descendant of Liuhou?!" Who is Liuhou, that is Zhang Liang, one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, who is strategizing and winning Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, who are thousands of miles away. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, he retreated bravely and followed the first smart person in the world who asked the question of the red pine nut cultivator.
"Exactly"
After receiving an accurate reply, Liu Ju hurriedly dressed up and returned the gift:
"My surname is Liu, a famous drama"
"Liu Gongzi, long admiration"
After the ceremony, although it was a wilderness, everyone still sat down as the host and guest.
After sitting down, Zhang Daoda was not in a hurry to greet Liu Ju, but paid attention to Liu Chang, this little guy, gave him too many and too many surprises:
"Cultivate with me, with your qualifications, it is only a matter of time before you rank in the immortal class."
"Cultivating the Tao, being an immortal? Hmm~~ Not good! β
"Why?"
"I still want to eat meat. I haven't eaten meat in days, hehe. Liu Chang said embarrassedly.
The sky was slightly white, dawn was coming, and the four entourages and Liu Ju's two sons were all asleep beside the fire, they really couldn't hold on. The fire of the fire was still burning vigorously, and it was the four attendants who had added enough dry wood before going to bed.
Banxian and Liu Ju didn't sleep, and the two were still talking for a long time, like friends they hadn't seen for many years.
Half-immortals are embarrassed to sleep, they are all half-immortals, how can they be as greedy and sleepy as mortals? And Liu Ju didn't dare to sleep, not because he was afraid that they would slip away at night and throw his third grandfather in this wilderness, but because he was afraid that they would make evil intentions together and exchange the heads of his father and son for money, he knew that his head could at least be exchanged for the title of a marquis. Therefore, the two of them just had a sentence and did not say a word
"I believe that Kong Rong knew about Rang Li at the age of seven, but he definitely didn't believe that Ganluo Twelve could be the phase, and Ganluo Twelve was the phase, which was only seen in legends, and was not recorded in the official history. Even my ancestors had to borrow the so-called Huangshi Gong and the assassination of Yingzheng to show their reputation. Seeing Shizi today, I believe that Ganluo can be a minister at the age of twelve, and the prince is an extraordinary person, just with the wit of Shizi, I am sure that he can be a minister at the age of five. β
When he turned his head and looked at his prodigy son, his heart was full of love.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, but I don't think it's enough." Liu Chang was stunned, stood up in a daze, he was awakened by urine, and when he heard their conversation, he said casually.
This time, Liu Ju was so embarrassed that his old face turned red, when did his son's skin become so thick, saying that you can be the prime minister at the age of five, you actually said that it was not enough? ! Say you became emperor at the age of five? Isn't that asking your father and me to die early? angrily slapped the kid again: "Tell me, why is it not enough?" β
"IβI think Sir should leave us more." His eyes were still closed, and his head shook a little.
"Leave something behind?" Liu Ju hurriedly grabbed Liu Chang, afraid that he would fall down all of a sudden, there were stones all around, and it would be troublesome if he hit the stones.
"Didn't the gentleman say leave us a basket of twelve chickens? Twelve is really a bit less...... Not enough to eat. β
"What are you talking about, hurry up and wash your face over there, sober up!" Liu Ju really wanted to find a crack in the ground and get into it this time. My dignified prince of a country, his own son actually asked someone for eggs, and it was too little!!
Zhang Daoda on the other side laughed.
Liu Chang, who was looking for a place to pee, looked at the half-immortal who was laughing, laughing crookedly, and was also very angry, just twelve eggs, are you happy to be like this? If you have knives and arrows, you will surely have plenty of prey.
Liu Ju looked at Zhang Daoda, who couldn't stop laughing, and knew that his son was in a daze, so he didn't hear what he was talking about, and thought they were sharing eggs, so he couldn't help laughing.
Walked to the edge of the puddle in a chaotic manner, squatted down, put his hand into the water with his eyes closed, and a coolness instantly spread from the palm of his hand to his brain, Liu Chang couldn't help but shiver, and he was much more awake after sleepiness, so he quickly splashed the water on his face a few times, wiped it with his hand, and was sober.
When I came back, I saw that both of them were quietly watching the flames, and neither of them squeaked, shook their heads, shook off the water droplets stuck to their hair, and walked over:
"Aren't you sleepy?"
"How can you not be sleepy? We don't have the courage of your father and son, but we have heard that there are wolves in this mountain, and maybe there are big insects. β
When Liu Chang woke up again, it was almost noon, his father and second brother woke up, not surprisingly, the half-immortal was gone, and to his surprise, two of the four retinues of the half-immortal were still there.
One was standing on a boulder with a knife in his hand, while the other was grilling something on the fire, the smell of long-lost meat wafting around.
"Zhang... What about real people? "I originally wanted to say Zhang Banxian, but when the words came to my mouth, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I changed it to a real person.
"It's gone."
"Gone? That... They? β
"When Zhang Daochang left, he deliberately left them behind and followed us"
"What to bake? So fragrant. β
"Little boy, didn't you say that you wanted to eat meat all night? Don't think about wolf meat, just eat rabbit meat."
After eating, it was past noon, and they had to find a place to live, and they could no longer sleep in the wild like yesterday, so the group got up again and walked into the depths of the dense forest.
The forest in autumn is not as vibrant as in spring, and from a distance, the whole mountain forest is red, green, and yellow, as if it is sick; The leaves of many trees are beginning to wither, and the branches are already eager to take off their green clothes and stand there bare, waiting for the wind and snow to come. There are quite a few small animals, especially small squirrels, which can be found almost everywhere, looking for food for the winter.
Liu Chang was in a good mood, he ate a full meal of meat, full of energy, holding a branch, patting the low bushes around him from time to time, looking at the squirrels that were disturbed from time to time and fled in a hurry, he was excited. Father Liu Ju pulled the second brother to walk in the middle, and the first and last were the two entourages left by Zhang Zhenren, who now act as the guards of their father and son, one to open the way and the other to the palace.
