Chapter 143: Kunpeng
The soul shock* was carried out for the ninth time, and the pain Qi Xiaoyang felt was only half of the first few times, and the shape of the main soul began to appear vaguely in his consciousness, and it was the same as the fetus conceived in the womb, except that it was vaguely sitting, wrapped in an egg-shaped soul aperture. After nine efforts, the soul body has begun to show signs of separation from the hole wall, and with the continuous nourishment of the soul nourishing stone, the soul body seems to be developing and becoming clearer day by day.
It's another rest day, Qi Xiaoyang greeted Mei Yashan early in the morning, went to find Mei Ding Mountain, and the two went back to the stone house together, he was going to make wine in the cellar today, and prepare gifts for the next apprenticeship ceremony scheduled to be held on the next rest day. "Xiaoyang, come and see, the cellar seems to have been moved!" As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Wallin took Qi Xiaoyang to the cellar in the shed.
Qi Xiaoyang looked at the place indicated by Uncle Wallin, where it seemed to have been moved, it was simply moved, the sealing mud pasted on the surface was cut open by a one-foot square skylight, but it was not damaged, and it was put back in place after opening the pool cover. Qi Xiaoyang carefully observed the incision, it was fresh and flat, it should have been moved in the last two days, and when he opened it lightly, he took a look at it, and sure enough, about dozens of catties of grain were taken away.
"The thief's heart is immortal!" Qi Xiaoyang scolded, knowing that these ten * were done by Liehan next door. "Ignore him, and he won't be able to make a name for himself if he steals it. Uncle, have you bought all the ingredients you want to order this time?"
"I've been ready for a long time, and I've piled it up in the room according to what you said, just waiting for today's feeding. Uncle Valin agreed, and lifted the mud from the top of the pool.
"Uncle, you have memorized the process of ingredients, you will do it with me again from beginning to end today, and you should be able to operate it yourself next time." This little workshop will be handed over to you later, you can expand it a little more, ask two reliable workers to help, and call the aunt here too, so that you don't have to work hard to farm the land anymore. "Qi Xiaoyang has long wanted to teach this technique to Uncle Valin, but now he is busy cultivating, and he is afraid that he will not have the energy to brew wine again in the future.
"How can I do that? I can only help you even if I learn it, and if you give you enough wages, and take your doll's things, I'm still not human?"
Qi Xiaoyang smiled and said: "I know that Uncle is not greedy for these things from me, but I may not have much time to come back in the future, don't you want me to give it to that hateful Liehan?
Varin thought for a while and said: "It's okay, if you are busy learning great skills, I will take care of the workshop for you, and save as much money as possible, build a big house in the future, and marry a few beautiful daughters-in-law for you." ”
While talking, Shi Si and Si Huiyue and a group of children laughed and called the door outside, Qi Xiaoyang let them in, called Shi Si to the house alone, and handed him a volume of wine-making technical materials that had been sorted out a few days ago, so that he could keep it first, and when he returned home after studying, he could use this hand to make a difference, which could be regarded as getting along with this child and ending a fate. A few years later, Shi Si really relied on the technology left to him by Qi Xiaoyang and became the owner of the largest brewing workshop in Laishui, which is a later story.
As soon as the small workshop smoked, a lot of people who knew that Qi Xiaoyang was opening a retort today came one after another, among which the rich and powerful people in the city wanted to buy some of this precious feather flower wine, but unfortunately this time they could only return disappointed, the government sent two people to guard here, and as soon as the wine came out, two jars were transported away, and there were more than two altars left, which was the apprenticeship prepared by Qi Xiaoyang, and it was naturally impossible to sell, and the result was full of complaints, but with Meiding Mountain sitting here, no one dared to be presumptuous, so they could only return in a huff
The day of the apprenticeship is approaching, the school governor's mansion is rarely busy, several groups of guests from the capital Mangdu are arranged in the guest house, but one is not an outsider, will live directly in the school governor's mansion, that is Mei Yashan's junior brother Fei Zhiyi, the current marshal of the Jiuyu National Army. The Jiuyu army is divided into five armies in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the Chinese army is equivalent to the garrison army in the capital, and the other four armies are all border troops, and Fei Zhiyi's identity is equivalent to the commander of the large military region, which is a person with a very high status.
Mei Yashan took Qi Xiaoyang and Mei Aoxue to greet them in front of the main hall, a five-colored turtle horse and two three-color turtle horses were led to the stable next to them by the welcome guests of the school governor's mansion, and Fei Zhiyi only walked to this side with two people.
Fei Zhiyi is only in his sixties, with a majestic body and a dignified appearance, although he is not wearing a military uniform, his body still exudes a majestic atmosphere, Qi Xiaoyang heard the master say that although this uncle is not very old, he is also an intermediate soul master, and his soul power is only stronger than Meiyashan, but unfortunately he has no talent for refining spirits, and his strength is one level worse.
Fei Zhiyi and Mei Yashan held hands affectionately, and from the excited words and actions, it can be seen that the relationship between the brothers is very deep. "Senior brother is going to accept this little guy this time, right?" Fei Zhiyi saw Qi Xiaoyang who was following Mei Yashan and took the initiative to ask.
Qi Xiaoyang saluted respectfully: "Junior, Qi Xiaoyang, I've seen Senior Fei!" Because according to the rules, you can only call Uncle Shi after the next hour of the apprenticeship, seeing that Fei Zhiyi didn't take the initiative to ask, Qi Xiaoyang's first impression of this uncle was very good.
"Yes, yes, he behaves well at a young age, and he is worthy of my senior brother's attention. Fei Zhiyi praised casually, pointing to a young man in his early twenties and ten years old behind him: "This is your Senior Brother Mengzhan and Senior Brother Fei Jieran, everyone will be in the same door in the future, and it doesn't matter if you call Senior Brother now." From Fei Zhiyi's introduction, it can be seen that he is an informal person.
Qi Xiaoyang stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the two senior brothers, the younger brother is backward, please give me more guidance in the future." ”
In his early twenties, Fei Zhiyi's eldest disciple Meng Zhan, who was heroic and extraordinary, really called Fu Fan with a face and starry eyes, just nodded lightly at Qi Xiaoyang, looking a little salty, and the corner of his eyes glanced at Mei Aoxue on the side from time to time. However, Fei Zhiyi's youngest son Fei Jieran was very easy-going, and after returning the salute, he took Qi Xiaoyang's hand and said affectionately: "Little junior brother, there is no need to be formal between us in the future, if you need my help, just open your mouth." ”
Qi Xiaoyang saw that although Fei Jieran was not as heroic as Meng Zhan and was a little thin, he was friendly and enthusiastic, far more pleasing to the eye than that Meng Zhan, and became familiar with him in a few words.
When Mei Aoxue also stepped forward to greet her uncle, Mei Yashan asked Qi Xiaoyang to take a few people into the tearoom, but Fei Zhiyi said: "Senior brother, please wait, my aunt and her old man will arrive soon, why don't we go to the door to greet us first." ”
Mei Yashan was surprised: "Aunt Zhu, how could her old man know about this?"
Fei Zhiyi replied: "This is also a coincidence, when you sent someone to deliver the letter to the barracks, it happened that my aunt's maid sent me a set of soul armor that her old man had just refined. ”
Qi Xiaoyang followed him to the gate of the mansion, and when he saw everyone looking into the sky in the distance, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that this old woman is also a living soul like herself, and she can fly directly from the sky? Then how could the master say that there is no spirit handsome in the Nine Feather Country? He knows that even the Soul Sect, due to the slow recovery of soul power consumption, it is impossible to fly long distances, is it possible that there is still an airplane flying saucer on this Quaf Star?
"Little junior brother, look, Master Bamboo is here!" Qi Xiaoyang was still puzzled, Fei Jieran had already patted him on the shoulder with one hand and pointed to the sky in the distance with the other.
Qi Xiaoyang looked at Fei Jieran's fingers, and there was indeed a black spot between the blue sky and white clouds, which was coming quickly this way. The speed of the black dot was very fast, and after a few blinks, Qi Xiaoyang could already tell that it was a big bird!"My God, is there really such a big bird in the world?" Qi Xiaoyang couldn't help but sigh, and now the shape can be seen at least a hundred miles away, and when this bird arrives in front of him, I don't know how big it should be?
Qi Xiaoyang's exclamation attracted Meng Zhan's disdainful eyes, which naturally meant "shallow knowledge and fuss", but Fei Jieran said with a smile: "Haha, the little junior brother will know how big it is in a while, and when I first saw this guy, I was almost scared to the ground, hehe!"
Mei Yashan turned back to Qi Xiaoyang and said: "This is a Xuanyu Dapeng that your ancestor and his old man tamed more than two hundred years ago, this kind of spirit bird is only found on the hanging island in the far north, not to mention you, even in the entire Nine Feather Country, not many people can see it once." ”
Fei Jieran bent down and lowered his head and whispered in Qi Xiaoyang's ear: "The ancestor that Uncle Shi said is Zhu Mingkong Master Ancestor, that is, the elder brother of this Master Ancestor, Mingkong Master Ancestor is much stronger, if he hadn't gone to the Heavenly Realm thirty years ago, how dare the Red Banner Ghost come to bully us, alas!"
Qi Xiaoyang's curiosity was aroused, and he was about to ask carefully, but the Dapeng Bird had reached a few miles and began to swoop down, so he had to hold back, ready to wait for an opportunity to ask what was going on with the Mingkong Master Ancestor and the Heavenly Realm.
The cyan Dapeng stopped flapping its wings from a distance, so he glided and slowed down, and when he landed on the wide square in front of the mansion, Qi Xiaoyang sighed in his heart again: Could this be the descendant of the Kunpeng in Zhuangzi's "Getaway"? Although it cannot be said that "its back does not know how many thousand miles", it is bigger than a Boeing 777!
After Dapeng stopped, a transparent hemispherical cover on his back was put away, and an old woman with silver hair and a feather fan in her hand, with two blonde women, jumped up from the back of more than ten meters Gao Peng and floated towards this side. Qi Xiaoyang followed everyone to salute the visitors, and saw that although this ancestor was more than 100 years old, except for a white hair, his body and face were not too old, his back was not hunched, his waist was not bent, and his eyes were bright, like a middle-aged lady
