Chapter 33: Rouge Plum Soup
The northeast side of Zixuan Secret Land is built in the foundation area, Qingniuyu.
"Brother Niu, how about you just let Qin go? Qin is really in a hurry, and he can't delay ......"
Qin Yuqing was earnestly persuading a green cow at this time, he came to the valley here as soon as he entered the secret realm, and he had been trapped for half a month now.
Although Zixuan has been in the secret realm for 3 years, except for the last year of the Seeking Tower experience, he only has two years to collect spiritual objects, and this delay for a day is the sound of a lot of spiritual stones flowing away, how can he not be heartbroken.
"Moo~"
The green bull with black horns on his head still refused to give up, and the coercion was fully released, and the black horns pressed against Qin Yuqing's waist, urging him to continue working.
Forced by the situation, he had no choice but to continue to use the golden blade as a plow, and plough the ground forward with the trick of turning the ground.
I can't imagine that one day, his Golden Earth Two Spirit Root will have this usage, but it's really ......
Alas~
Qin Yuqing shook his head and sighed as he ploughed forward, and at the same time did not forget to secretly put away the black gold soil essence that was turned out of the black earth......
His small eyes glanced at the green ox behind him from time to time, and his movements continued to move forward, and his sigh was wafting in the valley.
Jindan District on the west side of Zixuan's secret realm, a wasteland desert sea.
Since hearing Zhou Buxi's reminder on the evening of the first day, Gu Changfeng has been restless, and he has no extra mind to find spiritual objects, he has been flying all the way south, in the direction of the Tan River.
Zhou Butie continued to swim in the desert sea, collecting spiritual objects and hunting demon beasts, while flying towards the southeast side, the goal seemed to be very clear.
The gas refining area, deep on the north side of Leqiu Merlin.
Yu Wan and Li Nian have been running all the way north for more than half a month, and Yu Wan has never found any trace of Mei Zu according to the previous explanation of Yuan Fu.
Although the two of them also had their own gains on the road, Li Nian couldn't wait.
They had already met three waves of monks, all of whom were disciples of the Nine Heavens Pavilion and Xiaoyao Tower, and they were all rushing to the side of Boshui Lake in the direction, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, worried that he would be taken first.
After running for another day, he killed a few Qiu Kui and Mei Mouse, and the two of them were resting in the Seven Star Defense Array at this time.
"Yu Wan, two more mountains will be the Lechuan River, are you sure that Leqiu Meizu is really here?"
Half a month in the evening seems to have not dissipated his anger, but all the spiritual food he has made has never been given to him, in addition to discussing routes and plans on weekdays, he no longer chats with himself, Li Nian does not dare to say any ridicule at this time, so he can only say his own questions.
Yu Wan had been staring at the kebabs and roasted plum rats by the bonfire, and she also heard Li Nian's question, staring at the fire in the center at this time, frowning.
Uncle Yuanfu only said that after she entered the secret realm before, she saw it when she kept walking north, and there was a 10,000-year-old plum tree standing there far away, the canopy covering the sky and the sun, and the branches and leaves were covered with red and white two-colored plums.
But after walking for so many days, I didn't find the slightest trace, and there were plum forests of about 100 years old everywhere, and there was not even a thousand-year-old plum tree.
Clueless, and listening to Li Nian's constant chatter, she pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Just go to the river, how can I not find it, go directly to the southeast, to Boshui Lake."
"Okay, just listen to your ...... That..."Li Nian responded quickly, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Wan.
"Don't think about it, you have to eat your own, you don't have your share of the food here."
Li Nian was deflated, thinking that he was out of sight and out of mind, turned around and sat with his back to the bonfire, took out the Vientiane bucket that he had sent before the evening, took out a crispy fried Huoling whole chicken, with red jade pepper powder, and ate it angrily.
When the spirit meat is roasted, half of it is given to Humm, and it is accompanied by freshly brewed red plum wine in the evening, while eating and drinking.
In the early morning of the second day, Yu Wan, who had gone to the top of the hill to absorb the purple qi of the sun, woke up and hummed, put away the formation, and separated Li Nian from the left and right again for a hundred miles, and continued to rush to the north.
Hum Ha hum hum and try to catch up with Yu Wan, this is still in Xinghai Tower when Yu Wan taught the two of them Scud.
After all, it is inconvenient to go out to practice, especially in a fight. So she kept training it in this way, so that the two beasts could control their front hooves rhythmically.
After learning it before, Hum Ha is rarely useful, but since entering the secret realm, it has been running and chasing until late.
This half moon has been running all the way down, and the body shape has not changed, but the speed has improved, and it can already catch up with the normal speed of the weekday and night, as for the full strength, it is naturally incomparable.
The closer you get to the Lechuan River, the fewer mounds there are. The white fog they brought up also basically dissipated directly as soon as the sun came out, unlike when they first entered the evening, it was already in the morning and the sky was still foggy, completely obscuring the view.
The two of them ran as they all spread out their senses, searching for differences in Merlin.
Li Nian is now refining qi at the 9th level, and the range that his divine sense can spread has just reached a hundred miles, although it is not too late, but it is more than enough in this place.
At noon, Yu Yu took the lead in jumping to the top of the hill in the evening, looking at the low hills not far ahead and the Lechuan River behind it.
The hill ahead is low, and the southern slope is still sparsely populated with plum trees, and there are many rat holes, and only on the northern slope can you see a patch of plum groves.
She waited for Hum Ha to catch up, and continued to carry her hairs down the hill and rush towards the plum forest.
She wanted to reach the top of the hill before tonight, and thought to herself, Yu Wan's speed would not change, and she would rush forward while picking red plums.
"Monsters."
As soon as Li Nian in the distance took a breath, the edge of his divine sense reached Yu Wan and ran down again, complaining while swallowing a few mouthfuls of violent dew, and then he also flew down.
On the sunny side of the hillside, there are many plum trees and hills, and on the shady side, there are a large number of plum rats, and the plum trees are only sparsely dotted on them.
At this time, Qiu Kui could not be detected within the scope of his divine sense, so he was relieved to boldly concentrate on picking plums, and only a trace of his mind was left to observe the surroundings.
At sunset, the two of them reached the bottom of the slope almost at the same time, and before Li Nian came to ask, they saw that Yu Wan within the scope of his divine consciousness did not stop at all, and rushed straight to the last hill.
Li Nian had no choice but to move forward.
Creak.
Hurry, hurry, startled out a plum.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a black-bodyed silver blade flew in the air, harvesting the constantly attacking plum rats.
This kind of monster beast is similar to a spirit rabbit, they all gather together to live, as long as they pass by, they will startle a group.
But they are bolder than the wind rabbits in the rabbit slope before, and once they are frightened, they will attack them in groups......
Looking at the dense black eyes rushing in front of him and the two white-flowered front teeth protruding from the middle of his mouth, Yu Wan's complexion remained unchanged, his speed did not decrease, and he controlled the Huang Knife to harvest quickly in the air.
Li Nian did the same, waving his hands, Jun Zhu shot out a golden light blade in his double fist, and flew towards the surging rats.
The cultivation of this kind of group demon beast is generally about the same, and along the way, there are rat groups at the 9th and 8th levels of qi refining, although it took a little effort, but both of them survived safely.
What is strange is that the closer they get to the Lechuan River, the cultivation of this rat group also decreases, and the cultivation of this rat group on the last hillside is only 6 layers of qi refining at the highest, which is a piece of cake for both of them.
Soon, almost two hours later, Yu Wan and Li Nian climbed to the top of the mountain one after another, and the two of them were separated by a hundred miles while staring at the rushing river in front of them.
Taking advantage of the time to hum, Yu Wan first searched the range within a hundred miles of the top of the mountain, and it was still the same Merlin, and he did not find any abnormalities.
She looked up at the night sky, two full moons hanging overhead at the same time.
No wonder it's so bright tonight.
Yu Wan thought for a moment in his heart, and decided to run to the river in one go, if not, he would leave early tomorrow morning.
Decided, she directly discharged a transmission note.
She and Li Nian are a little far apart, and the transmission of divine consciousness is not very stable, which is not as convenient as the transmission note.
While waiting for Li Nian to reply, she sat down and breathed slightly.
Soon, the transmission note came back again, and Hum Ha also chased after him.
Getting the message that he was acting together, he raised his hand and touched the top of Humm's head, "Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon." ”
After saying that, he got up and ran down.
Seeing this, Hum Ha threw out the same white expression, took a deep breath, continued to infuse the aura into their front hooves, and began to chase.
This time, Yu Wan didn't distract herself from picking plums again, she ran all the way with volley gossip steps.
Soon, when the two full moons had descended to the top of the hill where they had just stopped, they finally converged and set up a formation by the river.
Li Nian didn't dare to complain, and after entering the formation, he nodded to Yu Wan, and then found a place to start pranayama recovery.
Hum Ha was paralyzed on all fours, lying on the ground and sticking out his tongue, as if he was too tired to do it.
Although he knew that this would happen, Yu Wan was still a little disappointed, and it was really disappointing that he couldn't see Mei Zu.
She listened to the sound of the river rushing in front of her, looked at the river that gradually dimmed under the moonlight, and adjusted her mood in the evening, her feet lightly, jumped out of the formation, and jumped directly into the river.
When the wind on the river became stronger and stronger, and she gradually couldn't support it, she took out a jade jar, and her figure flew around, constantly scooping up the river water there.
About half an hour later, the jade jar was filled with river water.
Yu didn't stop at night, and with a light tap of his feet, he returned to the shore and entered the formation.
Even though she had been lingering on the surface of the river, her clothes were still wet by the constant flow of water.
After entering the formation, she pinched the cleaning technique while taking out the jade jar, and constantly stirred the river water in the jar with her spiritual power.
When the river water in the jar gathered into a whirlpool, she stopped stirring and took out a hat and covered it.
After thinking for a moment, she went out in the opposite direction and picked some fresh plums from the nearby plum tree.
Then he took out two jade pots, one for the red plums by the river, and the other for the plums picked before.
Then they were washed with waterfalls.
After the river in the jade pot is calm and settled, the upper layer of clear river water is taken out in the evening and poured into two potbelly casseroles, and two piles of firewood are set under the casserole.
Then she poured two pots of bayberry into the casserole, added a slice of brown sugar to each of them, and threw out two flames from her fingertips and flew into the firewood.
Yu Wan found a place to sit down, and began to close his eyes and breathe, leaving only a small part of his mind to pay attention to the fire over there.
At this time, the outside of the formation also entered darkness, and the surroundings were quiet, with the occasional rustling of forest leaves.
Grunt~
When the water in the two casseroles boiled, the color gradually turned crimson, and Yu continued to close his eyes in the evening, but the five fingers of his left hand changed, and the two casseroles were put into the ring on his ring finger.
After putting it away, she began to devote her whole body to today's cultivation, running one big week after another in her body.
Every time, she had to use up the aura that hit her stomach before she controlled the empty flame and returned to the dantian to start a new round of Great Zhoutian.
And so on and so forth, until the first light appeared on the horizon.
"Give."
After absorbing the purple qi, Yu Wan finished pranayama, and poured a bowl of plum soup that was chilled in the middle of the night for Humm, and then poured out another bowl and handed it to Li Nian, who was looking at the river.
Li Nian raised his eyebrows and took it, looking down at the bowl of plum soup.
The ice gas passed through the jade bowl and continued to pass into his hands, and the white gas continued to bubble above the carmine plum soup, and the tip of his nose could faintly smell a sour taste.
Goo-dong.
Li Nian unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lifted the bowl to his mouth, and drank it in small sips.
The entrance was cold, sweet and sour, and the three spiritual qi full of thunder, fire, and water rushed into the abdomen.
It's just that he can't enjoy it in small sips, so he gulps it down.
After a while, putting down the jade bowl, Li Nian let out a soft sigh of relief, feeling refreshed.
"Is there ...... yet" Li Nian turned his head, and was about to ask for another bowl, when he saw Yu Wanpan sitting there, staring down at the plum soup in his hand, in a daze.
"Yu Wan? Yu gluttonous cat? ”
Li Nian, who tried to scream a few times, saw that she still didn't react, so he turned around and walked over.
But when he was still 1 zhang away from her, he found that a barrier blocked his way.
Li Nian was a little anxious, so he took out the Junzhu double gong and hit it directly.
Bite.
The crisp sound of collision came, Li Nian was shocked and took a few steps back, hum Haha was also startled at this time, glaring at Li Nian, as if he was vigilant and asking.
At this time, Yu Wan has been dragged into a green world.
Looking at the tall plum tree that went straight into the clouds in front of her, Yu Wan was a little puzzled, just after she drank the plum soup boiled by the plum a few days ago, she just took out the soup cooked by the plum by the river, admired the color and fragrance of the plum soup, and with a flick of her eyes, she came here.
The storage space and aura can still be used, but there is no Hum Ha and Li Nian, and Hum Ha cannot be contacted in his divine sense.
She looked up and wondered, when suddenly a plum breeze blew on her right, attracting her to walk in the direction where the wind was blowing.
The ground in the dense forest is undulating, and the tall grass hides a thick root system of different forms.
Yu Wan was troublesome, so he directly took Lingbo Bagua Step and rushed forward.
The humming of the outside world no longer confronted Li Nian, they called for Yu Wan, but found that the light cluster belonging to Yu Wan in the divine consciousness was motionless, and there seemed to be a barrier around it.
Li Nian was still attacking with his double fist, but no matter how much force he used, the barrier still didn't move.
Yu Wan had been running for 1 hour, and it was still this tall wood as far as her eyes could see, but she felt the fragrance of plums in the wind getting stronger and stronger, and thought in her heart that it was almost there.
Sure enough, after another half an hour of galloping forward, Yu finally came out of the tall dense forest and came to a plain.
The spirit grass on this plain is larger and denser, with slender green slender leaves, about two times taller than the late one.
She took out the willow leaf flying magic weapon, stared at the lone tree in the distance, and controlled the willow leaf to slide over the grass.
Soon, she was in front of the tree.
When she looked up, she could only see the occasional twig or two in the clouds, and as for the canopy, she could not see it at all.
After looking at it for a moment and feeling the soreness of her neck, Yu came back at night to look at the trunk in front of her, looking at the big tree that far exceeded the hugging of a hundred people, she opened her mouth and asked.
"May I ask if the predecessor is Leqiu Meizu? Did my predecessor bring me here? ”
The words fell, and in the middle of the night, a purple and white vortex appeared in the center of the trunk, and an old man in a dress of the same color walked out on crutches.
"I haven't smelled this plum soup for a long time~ Can I give Lao Yu a bowl?"
Yu Wan looked at the wrinkled senior in front of her, she was wearing a purple and white dress, the purple of which was the same as the red to purple color of the plum outside.
Yu Wan, who was stunned for a moment, reacted to the old man's request, she hurriedly took out the can of plum soup boiled by the riverside, poured out a bowl and handed it to the old man.
The old man took it and drank it in small sips, and for a while, there was only the sound of the old man swallowing in the space.
"It's a nostalgic taste, thank you Xiaoyou~ I want to drink this soup for the first time, and I am still a young man who broke into this place thousands of years ago......"
"Senior, if you like it, you can take this jar."
A smile appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth, he took it unceremoniously, and asked Yu Wan, "What do you want?" ”
Yu Wan arched his hand, "May I ask if you are Leqiu Meizu?" ”
"I'm not called Leqiu Meizu...... However, outsiders call me Leqiu Meizu. ”
Yu Wanfang was disappointed when she heard the old man's denial, but she didn't expect her last sentence to make Yu Wan happy again.
"I don't know what the name of my predecessor is?" She asked the old man.
The old man thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "Forgot... For so long, where do you remember your name...... Just call me Mezu. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Yu Wan was as good as a stream, "Mei Zu, I don't know if I can ask Mei Zu for two yin and yang plum seeds." ”
Leqiu Meizu couldn't help but smile when he heard Yu Wan being so straightforward, "You doll, do you know how precious my plum seed is, and you want two at once." ”
Before he opened his mouth to explain late, Mei Zu spoke again, "That's it, I will give you two after receiving the good gift of your doll from the left and right." ”
After speaking, Mei Zu stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and there were two black and white round grains in the palm of his hand, each the size of a thumb nail.
Yu Wan hurriedly took out the jade box, put away the plum seeds, and thanked Mei Zu at the same time, "Thank you Mei Zu." ”
"Eh, it's also fate, it's rare to meet someone like you who can cook plum soup again, these plums will be given to you, and the old man will give you another gift."
After speaking, Leqiu Meizu stretched out his hand a little, and it was directly on Yu Wan's forehead, you know, the distance between the two of them is almost two arms away.
Yu didn't have time to react, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he was no longer conscious.
"Alas, I didn't expect to drink a bowl of plum soup thousands of years ago, and I owed such a big debt, and now I have finally paid it off. I'm not going to come out in the future. ”
A beautiful female voice suddenly sounded in this Merlin space, and then the whole space sank into the former calm.
