Chapter 268 A Little Fish Like a Leaf
Looking at the spiced bamboo shoots held in Tian Xu's hand, Ziyan was moved. Tian Xu kept this bamboo shoot, obviously to keep it for her, and at this time, take it out and coax her to be happy like a child, so how can she still be angry?
She knew that Tian Xu, like her, attached great importance to appetite, and had been ridiculed many times by the medicine king for greedy food. But he kept all the spiced bamboo shoots that he named the first delicacy for himself, but he didn't taste it himself, and he didn't even know how to keep the only one until now.
In fact, the method used by Tian Xu is very simple, that is, using the most commonly used freezing method for storing food in the secular world, freezing this five-spiced tender bamboo shoot into an ice lump, and then using the formation method to lock the smell and store it in the vitality bag outside the medicine king bucket. This will keep the cooked spiced bamboo shoots for several months. It's just that after thawing, the taste of these spiced bamboo shoots is still a grade worse than the one just made, and it will no longer be the best delicacy in the world.
Ziyan ate the small spiced bamboo shoots, although the taste was not as good as fresh, but the mood was already cheerful. She stuffed the last half of the bamboo shoot into Tian Xu's mouth, felt that this guy was rubbing in her arms, only to think that she was still holding him in her hands, shook her hands, threw Tian Xu out, and said, "Seeing that you are willing to leave me with delicious food, this girl will forgive you." Just punish me and make me a delicious meal. ”
Tian Xu was thrown on the sea by the purple smoke, and his body flicked up on the water skin, continuously making a string of splashes on the water surface, and sliding out far away with the momentum of the purple smoke, just like throwing stones into the water when he was a child. He didn't forget to promise loudly in the distance: "My wife has a life, and I should obey it." ”
Ziyan saw that he was playing on the water and having fun, and she also threw herself on the water, but her skills were far inferior to Tian Xu, and she only made three splashes, and she couldn't bounce anymore, and she sank into the water all at once.
Purple Smoke's aura erupted, bouncing her body out of the sea and into the air, but most of her clothes were already wet. She had no choice but to release her aura again and dry the seawater from her clothes. Looking at Tian Xu, who was lying on the water and sliding around, but not getting wet at all, Ziyan couldn't help but be discouraged, she was much worse than Tian Xu in terms of controlling aura.
Tian Xu's bad guy saw Ziyan's embarrassed appearance, not only did he not come to help, but he also lay on the water and laughed: "Haha! You usually don't want to practice the formation more, but now it's miserable, right?"
Ziyan was forcing out the moisture in his clothes, and seeing that Tian Xu was laughing hatefully, he condensed the forced water into a bundle and sprayed it towards Tian Xu like a water gun, "Let you laugh, let you also taste the thrill of being flooded!"
Those seawater turned into a line of water, spraying Tian Xu's head and face. Tian Xu grimaced, and scraped off the water droplets on his face with his hands, and the sea water flowed down from Tian Xu's fingers like a stream. Ziyan knew that Tian Xu was deliberately letting himself, and the water that flowed down from his fingers was obviously several times more than the water he sprayed at him, when I couldn't see it?
In the middle of the joke, Tian Xu suddenly stopped, then quickly moved in one direction for a distance, then turned and moved quickly, and after several times in a row, he stopped.
Ziyan saw that Tian Xu's actions were different, so she also stopped messing with him and looked at him quietly. After only seeing for a while, Tian Xu stretched out a hand and grabbed a spirit stone that appeared out of thin air in his hand, and then turned around and returned to Ziyan's side.
"What's wrong?" Ziyan asked, and then saw that the spirit stone in Tian Xu's hand was very familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this the spirit stone I gave to Daotong?
"Well," Tian Xu nodded and said, "I just saw him passing by me, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak, I chased after him and he wanted to avoid me, and finally I was forced to tell me a little about the situation over there, and handed me this flying array and asked me to return it to you." As he spoke, he handed over the spirit stone that depicted the flying formation to Ziyan.
Ziyan took the array weapon and asked strangely, "Why is he avoiding you?
"No," Tian Xu shook his head and said, "After someone ascends, the earth immortals in the immortal realm will also receive the news that someone has ascended, just like we can see the golden light." The body of the Earth Immortal who had just ascended had not yet been condensed, and its stealth ability was not the best, so it was easy to be captured and killed by other Earth Immortals, and it was devoured as a cultivation resource, just like when I tried to devour the Great Elder of the Demon Sect. The number of cultivators native to our earth in the immortal realm is too small, but there are many enemies, so once they ascend, they must hide as soon as possible and cultivate their stealth ability to the strongest before they dare to come out and move. ”
"Daotong just told me that he didn't dare greet us at all because of the imminent arrival of the enemy. I told him the main points of stealth, and I estimated that he would be able to hide it in just a few hours. The sea here is too empty, and there are too few places to hide, and even if he completes stealth, it will be easy to be discovered by other earth immortals, so he is so nervous. I think it was the same when Aunt Xu had just crossed the catastrophe. ”
"What should we do then?Can we help him?" Ziyan didn't have any feelings for Dao Tongben, but seeing Tian Xu helping him through the tribulation so wholeheartedly, he also subconsciously cared.
Tian Xu said: "We are here, let Daotong hide by our side first, if there is really an enemy coming, I can also help." It's not easy for an earth immortal in our earth cultivation world, how can he not be killed by someone just after he ascended. Dao Tong's strength is not weak, at least it is much stronger than the Great Elder of the Demon Gate, and he can give Aunt Xu a helping hand in the fairy world. Come, let's cook and eat here, and don't talk about the Tao anymore. ”
Hearing Tian Xu talk about cooking and eating, Ziyan's stomach actually made a series of "gurgling" sounds. She was already in the second order of condensation, and she would not feel hungry even if she did not eat for a long time, and the intestinal sound caused by this hunger should have happened. But not being hungry does not mean that you will not be hungry, as soon as Tian Xu talked about eating, Ziyan's instinct to eat before Ning Dan was completely mobilized.
Seeing that Tian Xu stopped moving forward and was just suspended above the sea, Ziyan asked a little anxiously, "What are we going to eat?"
Tian Xu said with a smile: "Little gluttonous cat! I only left that one of the spiced tender bamboo shoots I made last time, and it is not yet season, so it will definitely be gone." Now that we're at sea, let's switch to seafood this time, we have to try it, right?"
"What's so delicious about seafood?" Ziyan was obviously a little dissatisfied with Tian Xu's decision, she had a soft spot for the spiritual food produced in the Medicine King Dou. She grew up in the Kunlun Mountains far from the sea, rarely ate seafood, and lacked the courage to try these strange-looking new things.
Tian Xu said: "Since you have come to the sea, wouldn't you be wronged if you don't try seafood? Besides, since seafood has a fresh word, the taste is still quite good." The seafood here is fresh and fresh, and it's much better than what you can buy inland. ”
As he spoke, he sent a message to Ziyan with his mind: "Now Daotong is nearby, and there will be other earth immortals coming over at any time, it is inconvenient for us to go to the Medicine King Dou, let's eat some seafood first." I've just been at the bottom of the sea, and I've seen a lot of good things here, so I'll go down and catch some later. ”
Seeing Tian Xu's insistence, Ziyan had no choice but to say, "Okay, but don't you have bamboo wine in your space?"
"Okay, I've got you. Wait a minute, I'll be up soon. Tian Xu said and fell into the water. But unexpectedly, Ziyan also went into the water and said, "I will also go down with you." I've been out at sea for so long, and I haven't seen what the bottom of the sea looks like?
Tian Xu shook his head helplessly, so he had to take her to dive together, and told her at the same time: "It's about thirty or forty meters deep here, the bottom of the sea is muddy, and there is no beautiful scenery like coral, and it's not good to look bare at all." ”
The two talked, and soon dive near the bottom of the sea. As Tian Xu just said, the bottom of the sea here is a muddy bottom, and only a few reefs are sparsely distributed, but it is not too ugly, because there are a lot of huge aquatic plants such as kelp growing underwater, forming a dense forest on the bottom of the sea. At such a deep bottom, there is very little sunlight penetrating, which is quite eerie. It's just that both of them are the strongest of the cultivators, and they don't have the slightest fear.
It is said that coral reefs are a paradise for animals, but in fact, this underwater aquatic grass forest is also a paradise for animals, but the aquatic grass forest is generally in a deeper place, where the light is dim, and it is far less beautiful than the coral reef.
Tian Xu's senses are still sensitive underwater, and Ziyan's eyesight is naturally abnormal, especially the dark vision is even stronger, and it is not difficult to see the scene here. I saw that in the water here, many small fish and shrimp swim and feed, but it is a peaceful scene.
Occasionally, a larger fish swims from the bottom of the sea, and the small fish and shrimp find a place to hide, and when the big fish swims over, they come out to continue their activities.
When Ziyan saw these big fish weighing a few catties to more than a dozen catties, she wanted to catch them, but they were stopped by Tian Xu. In Tian Xu's words, the taste of these fish is not particularly good, so it is okay not to eat them. Ziyan had no choice but to follow Tian Xu to see how he chose what to eat.
At this moment, Tian Xu suddenly swam towards a piece of aquatic grass, those aquatic plants and the surrounding seawater had been fixed by Tian Xu with the field, and the trapped fish and shrimp made a struggle, but they couldn't move, and stopped in the water pitifully.
Tian Xu ignored those small fish and shrimp, but pointed to a clump of aquatic plants for Ziyan to see. The branches of this clump of aquatic plants crisscrossed the water, and those horizontal branches were covered with long, thin, translucent leaves that grew upwards and swayed slightly back and forth with the flow of the sea. Ziyan's eyesight is very good, but he can't see anything special about this clump of aquatic plants.
Tian Xu stretched out his hand to pluck a leaf and sent it to Ziyan for her to see. At this time, Ziyan realized that this "leaf" turned out to be a small fish. The body of this small fish is more than ten centimeters long and less than a centimeter wide, very similar to a leaf. When she looked at the other leaves, she saw that more than half of them were real leaves, and a few of them were small and slender fish.
