Chapter Eighty-Five: The Monk's Cave
When she woke up again, it was already sunset and dusk, Qin Baisui's nose sniffed lightly, and the air was filled with a rich smell of meat, she swallowed saliva and got up, her stomach rumbling uncontrollably.
"I'm a mortal now, and I have to eat whole grains so that I don't have to be ashamed. Qin Baisui held his stomach and smelled the smell of meat and looked forward, even if he had cultivated before, Qin Baisui never lost his appetite.
On a leeward stone wall, there was a small fire in front of Qiao Shuhan, on which hung the kind of stove for boiling tea, and he leaned on the stone wall to close his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw Qin Baisui, showing a hearty smile, and said: "Brother Dongfang, you are hungry, come and taste this broth, the meat of this demon beast is really different, I boiled it for a long time before it was boiled, and the longer it was cooked, the more fragrant it became." β
Qin Baisui didn't expect Qiao Shuhan, who looked like a scholar, to actually cook things, didn't he say that the gentleman was far away from cooking? Qin Baisui sat down beside him, took the jade bowl he handed over, and watched the demon beast meat in the soup cook tenderly, and there were still a few unknown leaves floating on the soup, and he opened his mouth to ask the doubts in his heart.
Qiao Shuhan was also holding a jade bowl in his hand, he shook his head and said: "The so-called gentleman is far away from cooking, in my eyes, it is just not to kill, but the things we eat, whether it is meat or vegetarian, are all living beings, and this can be explained as a gentleman's evasion." What I want is just a meat, a vegetarian and a pair, and the gentleman's statement of cooking has nothing to do with me. β
"Bite the words and chew the words. Qin Baisui rolled his eyes, blew on the hot air, and took a sip of broth. Not counting the hot broth in the mouth, the soup is rich, the pieces of meat are tender and springy, and the unknown leaves are mixed in it, making it more and more delicious. "It's delicious! I can't see it, you're a good cook!"
"Prizes. Qiao Shuhan was brought up by his father, and when he was a child, his father had to go out to work, and his food and clothing were all solved by himself, and it was not difficult for him to make a few dishes.
After drinking a bowl, Qin Baisui couldn't wait to fill another bowl, and then remembered that they had fallen from such a high place, how could there be bowls, she opened her mouth and asked, "Where did this jade bowl and stove come from?"
"Found it in our resting place. β
It turned out that the place where they rested was a cave where the monks were locked up, and after the earthquake, this crack opened and divided the monks' cave in two. The stone bed that Qin Baisui slept on was only half, and the other half was on the opposite side of their stone wall. Qiao Shuhan went over to look at the other side during the day, and the other half of the cave mansion had collapsed, but rummaging in it also allowed him to find some tea sets.
In their time, tea was drunk not from a cup, but with a bowl.
Qiao Shuhan also found a wreckage inside, probably the remains of the monk, so he found a dry land and set up a simple tomb for the monk.
"Didn't the monk leave anything behind?" Qin Baisui asked excitedly, generally the monk's cave mansion will place some medicine bottles, jade slips and the like, it can be said that it is to act as a faΓ§ade.
"Yes, I'll take you there when I'm done. Qiao Shuhan didn't ask anything, nodded in agreement.
When Qin Baisui heard that it was true, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and the speed of drinking soup was much faster.
"Slow down, be careful. β
Qin Baisui shook his head, swallowed the last piece of meat in the bowl, licked his lips and looked at Qiao Shuhan with bright eyes, waiting for him to finish eating.
Qiao Shuhan eats much more than her, he saw her expression, put down the empty bowl with a smile, and then wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, before standing up and saying, "Follow me." β
At this time, it was completely dark, and Qiao Shuhan took a homemade torch and walked in front of her to lead the way.
In fact, without a torch, Qin Baisui can see her surroundings clearly, she just has no cultivation, her five senses are still at the level of a monk in the foundation building period, and her spiritual sense is still there, but without spiritual power, her spiritual sense cannot be mobilized.
"Brother Dongfang, this is it, this is the resting place of that monk's predecessor, and I buried all the things of my predecessor in it. β
Qin Baisui glanced at Qiao Shuhan embarrassedly, everything was buried with others, this ...... Do you want her to dig other people's graves and be a grave robber?
Will she be embarrassed, no! It's just that Qiao Shuhan stared at her directly, and she couldn't do it.
Qiao Shuhan's mirror-like mind, how could he not see Qin Baisui's thoughts, he sighed and asked, "Do you want it?"
Qin Baisui nodded like pounding garlic, of course she wanted it, this was her hope of recovering her cultivation, she had to take a look no matter what.
"Take it. Qiao Shuhan asked Qin Baisui to take the torch, he tied his robe around his waist, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the grave pile of stones, and then raised his hand to carry the stones.
Qin Baisui held a torch and stood aside looking at his back in a daze, his mood became very complicated. This mood is the first time it has appeared, my chest is pounding, my cheeks are hot, like a cold wind and cold.
Qiao Shuhan took out a burden from under the grave bag, and then got up to block in front of Qin Baisui, so as not to let her see the somewhat scary-looking wreckage.
"Everything is inside, you go back first. β
"Thank you. Qin Baisui nodded obediently, and then was about to hand him the torch, but Qiao Shuhan shook his head and asked her to take it. "I can see the way without a torch, you can take it. β
Qiao Shuhan under the torch had deep eye sockets, a cluster of flames jumping in his black onyx-like eyes, and his face looked very evil.
"Good. β
Seeing that he had left a torch, Qin Baisui turned around with his baggage, as if there was a ghost behind him, and quickly ran towards the monk's cave where he was resting during the day.
......
The monk's cave is still the same, and a night pearl illuminates this small world.
Qin Baisui sat on the stone bed, calmed his restless heartbeat, and then opened the baggage, there were many jade bottles in it, as well as some jade slips, and a cyan storage bag.
Qin Baisui hurriedly picked up a jade bottle, and in a flash, she could hear something rolling inside, her eyes lit up, there was a play!
Pour out the pill in the jade bottle, "Gathering Spirit Pill?!" Qin Baisui looked at the pill in his palm speechlessly, it was actually a Gathering Spirit Pill swallowed by a Qi refining stage cultivator, not only was there only one, but it was also a lower-rank. She can't take the Gathering Spirit Pill now, it is best to have a Pulse Protecting Pill, first repair the meridians, and then swallow the pill to increase spiritual power.
Qin Baisui didn't believe that all jade bottles were Gathering Spirit Pills, so he opened another jade bottle, and there was only one pill in it, but it was a mid-grade three-round spirit pill, and it was also an elixir for increasing cultivation. She opened the jade bottles one after another, the detoxification pill, the detoxification pill, the spirit pill, and the Zhuji Dan...... There was even a third-grade mid-level Xiao Yuan Dan, but there was no Vein Protection Pill yet.
At this time, Qin Baisui also understood that the dead monk should be an alchemist, and these pills, from low to high, were afraid that the monk had refined them for the first time and used them to commemorate them.
Qiao Shuhan happened to come back with a torch at this time, he extinguished the torch, stuck it on the ground on the side, and then looked at the jade bottle and said, "How is it?
Qin Baisui shook his head and opened another jade bottle, she was about to lose hope, but when she saw a round pill inside, her eyes lit up, she excitedly held the jade bottle, her eyes were shining, she jumped in front of Qiao Shuhan and asked him to see: "Look! It's the Pulse Guarding Pill!"
Qiao Shuhan didn't understand these monk pills, and he held Qin Baisui excitedly, lest she fall into the cave, and then nodded and said.
Although it is only a second-grade low-level Pulse Protecting Pill, it is already the best pill for the current Qin Baisui!
Qin Baisui sat back on the stone bed, and wanted to swallow the Pulse Protection Pill immediately, but when she saw that Qiao Shuhan was still in front of her, she said embarrassedly: "I, in fact, I am a monk, but I am injured to become like this, when I recover my cultivation, as long as I can do it, I will fulfill your three wishes!"
Qiao Shuhan glanced at her, when she asked the monk if he had left anything behind, he already knew her identity as a monk, but he didn't ask anything, at this time Qin Baisui admitted personally, he still didn't ask, just nodded, didn't refuse, he smiled gently: "Okay." β
After saying that, Qiao Shuhan walked outside, he was going outside to pick up some branches and come back, the temperature was high during the day, but it was extremely cold at night.
