Chapter 278: Chinese Sturgeon?
Qin Di threw the jade slip to Yan Xue and said, "You go to those mulberry trees and see if you can find some 'giant silkworms'." β
Yan Xue read it again, and unconsciously showed a surprised look: "Sir, do you think this is possible?"
Qin Di nodded and said: "The exercises of demon cultivation are already ever-changing, and these ancient emperors, who don't know the depths, have fallen into the way of the great demon, so it is also possible." β
"So what do we do? Even if we find the silkworm bush, can we help him become a human?"
"Hmph, I still want to use them for alchemy and use them to increase my strength!"
As soon as these words came out, the cuckoo birds in the treetops in the distance "swished" to hide in the farthest corner! The fish jumping in the lake stopped jumping, the old turtles quietly shrank into the water, and the silkworms on the mulberry trees wrapped themselves in mulberry leaves.
Yan Xue said: "Sir, if what is said on this jade slip is true, then Emperor Wangdi should be a cuckoo, not a group! There are also swimming fish in the water, I just saw them jumping around, and there are too many to count." β
Qin Di said: "This is the wonderful place of the demon cultivation method, it has the ability to turn into zero, from one to thousand, ten thousand, if it is not limited by the small world, coupled with the lack of spiritual energy on the earth, these birds and swimming fish have already become essences!"
"Do you really want to use them for alchemy?
"Don't eat it all, just keep one. In the future, if we have the chance, we will go to the upper realm, bring them over, and give them a creation! β
When they heard this, the birds outside flew up to the treetops again, and began to chirp, as if to say, "I have long been tired of life, and I have died a long time ago......!
Qin Di pondered alchemy in the small world, caught silkworms, fish, turtles and cuckoos, plus snow lotus, and refined it into a furnace of 'Five Spirit Pills', he swallowed one and tasted it, feeling that the medicinal effect was good, and each pill could increase the power for half a year, which was very rare.
However, there were a number of creatures in the small world, and he suspected that even if he cultivated all of them into pills, he would not be able to advance to the Yuan Infant.
Therefore, he could only refine a few furnaces of elixir and save it for use at critical times. Usually, I have to rely on myself to cultivate slowly.
In fact, Qin Di knew in his heart that the exercises left by this great demon might be a way to cultivate for people who did not have spiritual roots.
For example, Qin Hancheng originally had no spiritual roots, and lived to be 120 years old at most. If you cultivate the Demon Cultivation Method, you may break through the shackles and embark on the path of immortality.
The question is, is it really necessary to become a bird and beast in order to live forever?
Qin Di shook his head, he would not take out this kung fu, he would rather serve his parents for the rest of his life. Because once you become a bird or beast, you will lose your human dignity, and if you want to become a human in the future, the difficulty is very high, and you don't even have a chance of one percent.
If you change to Qin Di himself, the immortals can bend and stretch after a long time, so they can't give it a try.
However, he did not believe that he would find himself in that kind of tragic situation.
Qin Di found the control mechanism of the small world and carefully restored the magic circle, so that the spiritual veins would not leak out.
He also refined two tokens, and with the tokens, he could enter and exit unimpeded.
They cultivate quietly in a small world.
It wasn't until mid-August that Qin Di's skills came to the fourth stage of foundation building, and Yan Xue came out of the small world when he reached the late stage of the second foundation building.
The gift they brought back was two fish, both of which were caught from the lake, each of which was three feet long, as for what kind of species, it would be more weird, anyway, it didn't belong to the grass silver carp, and there were as many fish in the world as cow hair, it was estimated that Qin Hancheng and Zhu Wan didn't know much, so Qin Di was not afraid of goofs.
When Qin Di was about to arrive at the door, he took out the fish, carried one in one hand, and walked into the house unhurriedly.
There are only Qin Hancheng and the maid Chen's mother at home.
Chen's mother wanted to take the two fish, but when she saw that the fish was too big, she couldn't lift it alone.
"Young Master, where did you catch the fish? Why are they so big?"
Qin Di said with a smile: "This is fished in the Yangtze River, also known as 'Chinese sturgeon'." β
Yan Xue ate and laughed, listening to him talk nonsense.
Chen's mother asked, "How many catties does such a fish have?"
"About forty or fifty pounds, enough to eat for several days. β
"It's summer, I'm afraid it's broken, do you want to put it in the freezer?"
"That's right, this fish has to be eaten slowly, don't eat too much at a time, a full family, one pound of fish is enough!"
Qin Di walked into the kitchen and personally cut the big fish into small pieces, each section weighed only one catty, and then put it in the freezer.
That's right, the Qin family already has a freezer, and the world's first refrigerator was born in 1914 and was invented by an American engineer. This man's name is a bit long, so I won't write it here.
Qin Hancheng walked into the kitchen and watched Qin Di dissect the big fish.
He looked at it for a while and said, "It seems that such fish are rare." That's what the Chinese sturgeon looks like."
Qin Di nodded solemnly: "Well, in the future, it will be called a national first-class protected animal, but it will eventually become extinct." β
Because the Chinese sturgeon needs to migrate and reproduce, the Three Gorges Dam blocked its migration, so the wild Chinese sturgeon became extinct, and the artificial cultivation did not grow much.
Yan Xue pursed her lips and thought, "This is obviously not a sturgeon."
Qin Di told again: "Dad, this fish tastes very good, but you can't eat more." It's the same fruit I used to get back, and if you eat too much, it will catch fire!"
Qin Hancheng's eyes widened: "Oh, you have to be careful." β
"Dad, why do you stay at home every day and don't go out to talk to someone?"
Besides, when I was drinking tea, I was still afraid that the devil's plane would fly over, and when I heard the air raid siren, I had to run quickly, and I ran around every day, and I was annoyed to death, so it was better to stay at home and be clean!"
Qin Hancheng doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't gamble, doesn't play chess, and occasionally plays cards with old friends, but he doesn't have an addiction, so he rarely chats with people, and sometimes his life is a little lonely.
"Dad, do you want to go around the United States and Europe?"
"Don't go, it's thousands of miles away, you're tired of killing people! Not only far away, but also outside the chaos of war, you don't want to see what happened to Europe!"
In 1940, World War II was in full swing.
On 10 May, Germany bypassed the Maginot Line and attacked France and Western Europe. On the 17th, Amsterdam was occupied in the Netherlands. On the 28th, the Belgian occupation of Brussels and Luxembourg.
On June 10, the Kingdom of Italy declared war on Britain and France, and Italy officially entered World War II.
On June 14, German troops occupied Paris, France. On the 17th, French Prime Minister Petain announced his surrender to Germany.
During World War II, there were three famous capitulationists, one was PΓ©tain of France, and the other two were from China, namely Pu Yi and David Wang.
