Chapter 641: The New Monkey King's Ascension
Returning to the cliff rock house located in the depths of Yunwu Mountain, seeing that there was no change in the house, Xu Zhengdao didn't feel anything wrong. Although he hasn't lived in Iwaya for a long time, this is his hometown.
Two dust cleansing talismans were sacrificed, and the rock house, which had accumulated a lot of dust, instantly became as bright as new. Although some of the wooden furniture in the Iwaya looks a little old, there is no need to worry about the wood rotting for the time being.
What really surprised Xu Zhengdao was that there were firewood piled up near the rock house, and it seemed that many of them could not be burned. But every year when he came back, even if winter was not suitable for chopping wood, he would pile up some new firewood in the firewood stack.
"Alas, the time to come back and live is still a little less, so that the firewood chopped in the early years can't be burned now."
With a sigh of emotion, Xu Zhengdao destroyed all the rotten firewood into sawdust and threw it on the jungle snow. When the snow melts, the wood chips are turned into nutrients that can be used as fertilizer for other trees.
When the ondol is lit by firewood, the temperature of the entire Iwaya quickly warms up. Although Xu Zhengdao's current physique has reached the realm of cold and heat, he still likes the warm rock house.
Feeling the fire kang that was gradually getting warmer, Xu Zhengdao also lay on it lazily and said, "It's still a comfortable day to go home! Squint for a while and cook later! Anyway, there are still a few days left before the Chinese New Year!"
Every time he returns to Yunwu Mountain, Xu Zhengdao can feel the taste of returning home from his previous life. In his previous life, he was lazy at home, and his parents would nag. In this life, when he wants to sleep and when he gets up, it all depends on his personal mood.
He still enjoys this unrestrained taste. It can even be said that he began to like the taste of loneliness!
When he woke up, even if he didn't sleep for a long time, Xu Zhengdao still felt very comfortable. Light the stove and start preparing dinner for yourself. Even if the sky in the mountains at this time is not as completely dark as imagined.
But for Xu Zhengdao, he cooks at this time just because he wants to eat enough, and he doesn't care if the time is up!
Xu Zhengdao, who was accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas outside the mountain, returned to Yunwu Mountain, but enjoyed the fried bacon rice with chili peppers cooked by himself. A bowl full of rice was picked up in his stomach by sitting in front of the Iwaya door.
"It's a pleasant taste, it's really not bad!"
Although in the space ring, Xu Zhengdao also has a large number of ingredients in reserve. But in his heart, when he was a child, Master Kaoru's bacon rice bowl was his favorite delicacy. So every year when he comes back, he will do a few times for himself.
Even when he returned to Yunwu Mountain every year, he would still go to the mountains to hunt wild boars that met the hunting standards. Instead, it's other prey, unless there are too many of them. Otherwise, Xu Zhengdao will let them continue to expand their population in the jungle.
After dinner, Xu Zhengdao did not continue to stay in the rock house, but went to the misty valley to soak in the hot springs. When night fell, the fog over the Ethereal Valley condensed again. But this kind of atmosphere is exactly what Xu Zhengdao wants.
Xu Zhengdao, who was lazily lying in the hot spring pool and enjoying himself with his eyes closed, also felt that this kind of life was comfortable. But he knew in his heart that it was not yet time for him to truly retreat to the mountains, and there were still many things outside the mountains that involved him!
"This may be the reason why many cultivators cut off the red dust. If you have a bond in your heart, how can you concentrate on cultivation?"
Xu Zhengdao, who sighed, soaked in the hot spring pool until he felt that his whole body was transparent before getting up, and then went straight to the top of Yunwu Mountain, still setting up a tent in the snow pit and then cultivating until dawn. When the sun rose, he reluctantly left.
With the Yunwu Mountains being designated as an ecological reserve, the Yunwu Mountain jungle has been maintained quite well in recent years. The resources of animals and plants are also constantly recovering. And these are undoubtedly what Xu Zhengdao wants to see.
When he returned to Iwaya, he saw that there was only room for warmth left in the ondol, so he added a few more handfuls of firewood to the stove. After doing this, he started his journey to inspect the mountains and forests. And the first stop, naturally, is the Stone Forest Monkey Cave that must be visited every year.
Seeing Xu Zhengdao reappearing, the monkeys seemed to have remembered his existence. Although every year in the monkey group, there will be old monkeys who die and new monkeys are born, but the monkeys all know that the person in front of them is to give them benefits.
It's just that Xu Zhengdao has some regrets, this time
He didn't get to see the old Monkey King. If the Monkey King replaces the old Monkey King, it is the little white monkey who has entered the prime of life and began to replace the Old Monkey King as the leader of the Monkey Clan.
When the little monkey king saw Xu Zhengdao, he was also very happy, squeaking and shouting from time to time, as if complaining that Xu Zhengdao was late this year. And Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said, "There is something outside the mountain, so I came back late."
While talking, Xu Zhengdao did not forget to give the little monkey king a fresh fruit that he also liked. Seeing these fruits, the little monkey king was also very happy. Unlike his father, he squatted directly on Xu Zhengdao's shoulder to peel bananas.
At the same time, Xu Zhengdao released several bags with a wave of his hand. It contains sweet potatoes, which are the favorite of the monkeys, as well as fruits such as apples and bananas. Seeing these bags, the monkeys also became agitated.
Fortunately, the little monkey king, who succeeded his father, also has a very stable position in the monkey group. After it squeaked, the monkeys began to step forward in an orderly manner, taking their favorite fruits from the fruit pile. Many little monkeys also seem to be very well-behaved.
When he came to the throne of the Monkey King, Xu Zhengdao gave the Little Monkey King three crystal grapes as usual. The number of fruit grapes produced by the vines planted at the Mid-Levels estate does not seem to have increased much each year.
But the spiritual power contained in the grapes is better every year. But Xu Zhengdao knew in his heart that this had a lot to do with the fact that he had been pouring jade powder on the grapes from beginning to end. The amount of jade powder purchased every year is naturally quite a lot.
Correspondingly, the aura that the vines could not attract also began to improve the environment of the Mid-Levels estate. This is also why Su Yuhang feels that the manor where Xu Zhengdao lives is really a place of deep fortune.
After all, the two families are not far apart, but the environment of the manor is very different. Although Su Yuhang couldn't understand why, he knew that this kind of environment was abnormal, and it shouldn't be for no reason. From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask why.
Even the last time he had dinner with Su Yuhang and them, Xu Zhengdao was also very generous and took the initiative to give the three of them a glass of so-called grape juice. After drinking it, even Guan Xingcheng was surprised and said, "This grape juice, why does it taste like this, and what it produces?"
In the face of inquiry, Xu Zhengdao only smiled and did not speak. As the three of them, how could they not know about this freshly squeezed grape juice, and there is no other semicolon for this one. But deep down, I am still grateful to Xu Zhengdao for sharing such a good thing.
When the three of them left, Su Yuhang probably guessed that this grape juice should be the grapes planted in the manor. Because he could feel that even if Xu Zhengdao left the entire manor, there would be security personnel on duty.
These security guards, rather than guarding the manor, may be the vine on which he often sits down to drink tea. And every year after the grapes grow, the grapes are covered with black bags.
If it is an ordinary grape, why is Xu Zhengdao so solemn? The only explanation is that these grapes are not simple!
