Volume 1: Izumo Sword Sect 10. Little old man
Lu Yingyuan said: "It seems to be a person from the Fire Dragon Valley, a total of two came, one was captured, the other ran away, and stole a Transformation Pill." ”
"Ahh The effect of Huashi Dan is to increase this probability by 20%, but don't underestimate these two percent, it often determines success or failure. The six heroes of Izumo are all in the realm of grandmasters, but no one has taken the Avatar Pill, not because they don't want to take it, in addition to the lack of skill, there is another reason, that is, they are not sure. There is only one Avatar Pill in the entire Izumo Sword Sect, which shows the preciousness of this elixir, but unexpectedly, it was stolen.
"That's also something that can't be helped, now it's just a suspicion that Fire Dragon Valley did it, and we don't have conclusive evidence. Lu Yingyuan said.
"Didn't you catch another person?" asked Mu Feng.
Lu Yingyuan said curiously: "Don't you know? The person who was caught was beaten to death by Uncle Luo the next day, and he didn't have time to interrogate him. For this reason, my father and other uncles still complained about Uncle Luo. ”
Mu Feng thought about it and understood the reason, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, the master must have killed the person directly because he was injured and had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, but he didn't expect the master who was so indifferent on weekdays to care so much about himself, let alone do such an impulsive thing.
The days when he didn't have to cultivate passed very slowly, and Mu Feng felt a little bored. Although Ye Yan took good care of himself as usual, and Master often came to visit him, Mu Feng still didn't know what he should do.
The small cave in the back mountain, now Mu Feng goes more diligently, not only cleaning everything inside and out, but also putting a lot of daily necessities. When you are bored, you can go to the forest to make some traps, and occasionally catch some game, and then you can make a fire directly at the mouth of the cave and roast it to feast. Fortunately, there are no wild beasts such as bears and jackals nearby, otherwise it is difficult to say who will become whose game. Not to mention, the level of Mu Feng's roasting of these game has made great progress, once Lu Yingyuan and Lu Yingqi sisters happened to come here, and after tasting it, they also praised Mu Feng's craftsmanship.
On this day, Mu Feng went to check a trap that he had dug a few days ago, but he didn't expect that a roe deer actually fell into it, this is a delicacy, he has only eaten it once after coming to the Izumo Sword Sect for so long. This roe deer has obviously not been in the trap for a day, and its hungry limbs are weak, and it is at the mercy of Mu Feng.
Mu Feng ran back to the cave, slaughtered and cleaned, cut the meat into smaller pieces, coated the inside and outside with salt and self-prepared spices, and then found some large leaves, tightly wrapped the roe deer meat, and wrapped it in a layer of mud on the outside. Mu Feng first found some large stones and dry firewood, lit the firewood and then surrounded the fire with stones, and when the stones were hot, put the roe deer meat into the fire, and then covered it with stones, and then covered the stones with dry firewood, and barbecued these stones.
The roe deer has no fat on its body, and the meat is even more tender and delicious, Mu Feng thought about it, and after it was roasted, he also brought a few pieces back to Ye Yan and the master. Although the roe de deer meat was tightly wrapped in leaves and mud, there was still some fragrance wafting out, Mu Feng swallowed his saliva, and patiently roasted it for half an hour, and the roe deer meat was finally cooked.
He excitedly picked out a piece of the branch, the mud had already been roasted, and with a little force, it all shattered. In an instant, the fragrance overflowed, and the greedy Mu Feng hung and swallowed his tongue. Enduring the temperature of his hot hands, Mu Feng tore off a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it, grinning with hot teeth, but still happy.
"Haha, who prepared this delicious food for my old man? Suddenly, a voice sounded in the air, so frightened that the meat in Mu Feng's hand fell to the ground, and he saw a little old man with a somewhat obscene appearance, standing in the air looking at himself, to be precise, looking at the barbecue. The little old man had gray hair, a bun, and a wrinkled face.
Mu Feng was shocked not by the sudden appearance of an old man, but by how could this old man stand in the air like this?
"Are you the reality of the realm?" Mu Feng asked in disbelief.
"Haha!" the old man smiled: "Even if you have vision, there is no fuss about the reality world." However, I see that you still have a lot of barbecue, and I guess you can't eat it alone, so my old man will reluctantly help you. ”
After speaking, the little old man didn't care whether Mu Feng agreed or not, fell to the ground, beckoned, and a piece of roe deer meat had already flown into his hand, swallowed it in his stomach after three times and five divided by two, and said while eating: "Well, yes, your kid's roasted meat is really fragrant, my old man likes it very much." With that, another piece of meat flew into his hand and began to gobble it up.
Who is this person? He is also from the Izumo Sword Sect? I have never heard of Master saying that there is such a master in the Izumo Sword Sect. Mu Feng asked cautiously, "Senior, are you also from the Izumo Sword Sect?"
The little old man chirped and said, "Sort of." ”
Mu Feng hurriedly said: "Senior, junior is named Mu Feng, and he is a disciple of the six heroes of Izumo Luo Erxia. ”
"Luo Yongping?" the little old man said, "That kid is good, but he stayed a little." ”
Child? This person calls the master a child? Mu Feng asked, "Senior, I don't know who the senior is......?"
The little old man glanced at Mu Feng and said, "How did Luo Yongping's idiot teach you such a verbose kid?"
Mu Feng said: "The junior is indeed Luo Yongping's disciple, but because of ......"
"You don't have to explain it to me. The little old man interrupted Mu Feng and said, "I'm not interested in your affairs, so you don't have to tell me." Also, I just ate a few pieces of your roe deer meat today, so you won't tell me about seeing me. ”
Mu Feng hurriedly bowed down and said, "The juniors don't dare." ”
The little old man said, "That's good, my old man is gone." ”
After speaking, the little old man actually flew up directly in front of Mu Feng and disappeared between the distant mountains.
Mu Feng stood in place for a long time and didn't move, he didn't expect to meet a master of the reality realm here, who could fly in the sky and take things from the air, isn't this a land immortal? When he was still a little beggar, he heard someone say that he had seen an immortal in the Izumo Sword Sect, and it turned out to be true.
Mu Feng suddenly thought of himself again, his previous goal was to become a reality, but now he has become a mortal. Mu Feng sighed and began to pack up his things, he was not in the mood to eat, so he should bring the rest back to Ye Yan, as for today's matter, since he has promised the master, it is better to keep his promise.
For more than ten days after that, although Mu Feng still roasted pheasants in front of the cave, he did not meet the old man who turned into reality again. In the blink of an eye, it was summer again, and there were more small animals in the forest, and Mu Feng was more energetic. However, Mu Feng's mood was still not good, because Luo Erxia had checked his body, and the meridians still had not recovered, and he also found a set of mental methods for him to try to cultivate, but there was no improvement.
Although Mu Feng can't cultivate, his body is already as healthy as ordinary people, but it is still a little difficult to catch some small animals in the forest. Fortunately, he was lucky today, and he actually caught a quail all the time, but he also got a stinky sweat.
Mu Feng put the quail on the fire, then took off his clothes and jumped into the pool. Although it was summer, the water in the pool was still a little cool, and he couldn't help but shiver, hurriedly rinsed it, and went ashore to dress. But when he saw the quail on the fire, he was dumbfounded, and only a branch that was about to be roasted off was left, and there was still the shadow of the quail.
Mu Feng searched around, but still no, could it be that he was taken away by some small animal? Just when he thought he was unlucky, something suddenly fell on his head, and then fell to the ground, Mu Feng looked down and saw that it was a small bone, which looked very similar to the bone of a quail's wings.
Mu Feng hurriedly looked up, and found that in the treetops not far away, there was a person standing, it was the little old man who had not seen him for many days, who was smiling at Mu Feng at the moment.
Mu Feng hurriedly saluted and said, "It turned out to be a senior." ”
The little old man sucked his fingers unfinished and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but your cooking skills have improved again, I like it very much." But I think you're just a little clumsy, and you're tired of catching a quail, and I want to help you catch it in a hurry. ”
"Ah, it turns out that the seniors have been here a long time ago. Mu Feng didn't expect that he would arrive when he was catching quails, and he must have been seen taking a bath just now.
The little old man said: "Things have been going well these days, old man, I am in a good mood, I will give you a gift after eating your barbecue twice." ”
Mu Feng was flattered and happy in his heart, but he said: "It is an honor for the younger generation to be praised by the seniors, how dare you ask for any gifts." ”
The little old man smiled and said, "I will stay here for a few days, and I will inevitably come to you if I am greedy, so I will pass on a set of methods to you today, so that you can catch these wild games more easily." ”
Mu Feng sighed in his heart when he heard this, and said, "Thank you seniors, but my seniors don't know anything, I don't have half of my true qi in my body, and I can't cultivate." ”
The little old man said: "Of course I know that you don't have true qi in your body, old man, but I don't need true qi to pass on your body method, and it's the best for you." ”
"You don't need true qi to cultivate?" Mu Feng couldn't help but be surprised.
The little old man said, "Who told you that you must have true qi to cultivate? Cultivating the mind method is to generate true qi and be able to exert greater power in the moves, but it does not mean that you must have true qi to cultivate the moves. For example, if you have true qi, the effect will be better, but it will be completely enough for you to use it to catch some game. ”
Mu Feng thought about it and understood the truth, it was not that he didn't understand it before, but he didn't think about it, and the master has only been thinking of ways to make himself able to cultivate the mental method, after all, only cultivating some moves is not a real cultivator, and it is impossible to be promoted to the so-called martial master, great martial artist and grandmaster.
