The fire pit was built with stones, and the Dongyang Sword Zhu was used to light a bonfire, and two futons with cloth pads were placed. Wei Ye sat by the fire, holding a pine branch in his hand, slowly turning the burning firewood, holding a book of Taoism in one hand, carefully distinguishing the authenticity of the talismans and recipes, incantations, and rituals recorded in the book.

In fact, whether it is the "White Ape Dunjia Xuanzhen Sutra" or the "Five Yang Rune Array", the recipes recorded in these Taoist books are not necessarily as high as the Dongyang Sword deduced by Wei Ye himself. Even many of the tricks are far lower than the Dongyang Sword Zhu, if the Dongyang Sword Zhu is a real killing Dao technique, then many of the tricks in these Dao books are the level of illusion and blinding methods.

Even from a strict point of view, even the "Five Yang Rune Array" is only an application method derived from a certain orthodox method in the Taiping Sutra, which is even lower than the grade of the Dongyang Sword Zhu deduced by Wei Ye himself. In other words, even the Luoyang Branch of Taiping Dao, this adventurer organization that is closely related to the Taiping Dao Mountain, can't come up with a higher level of magic than Dongyang Sword Zhu. Unless Gan Wantang and He Mingare willing to pay the price of opposing the three Zhang Jiao brothers who are active in Julu and other places, they will directly snatch the "Taiping Technique" held by Zhang Jiao regardless of the battle loss ratio.

This kind of thing is even more unreliable than the earthly kingdom of heaven propagated by religious scholars.

And now the problem in front of Wei Ye is also obvious.

Dongyang Sword Zhu has practiced so far, and it has been regarded as a small success. However, if I continued to practice, it was difficult to make any progress, and it was obvious that my cultivation had entered a bottleneck state. If you want to go further, there is no way to use Dongyang Sword Zhu's own techniques alone. The key is that the cultivation method of the Immortal Dao in the Taiping Sutra that matches the Dongyang Sword Zhu, without this internal refining foundation, no matter how to make the Dongyang Sword Zhu, there will be no qualitative leap.

If the sword casting is used as a metaphor for the cultivation of immortal warlocks, the spell is a spell, and the method of Taoism is based on the essence of the sword, and the magic channel technique is used, that is, the sword edge. If the sword material is always just ordinary pig iron, then no matter how sharp the blade is, it is just an ordinary soldier. So far, Wei Ye's iron sword, cutting melons and meat, can be regarded as coming, but to turn into a famous sword that cuts gold and jade, and turns pig iron into steel, it is already a problem that has to be faced.

And second-class techniques such as the Rokko arrow are just icing on the cake. If you can't improve your cultivation, this kind of magic can be used to bully and bully mortals, but when you meet a real immortal person, you will inevitably have a small risk.

Zhang said that the old man was easy to occupy a hexagram for Wei Ye, and the Tao was to go west to meet his own immortal fate, so it was not the disadvantage of Wei Ye's cultivation. But I don't know, where should this hexagram be?

Wei Ye was pinching the Wuyang Rune Array and groaning, when Sima Ling's voice came from his ears: "Uncle, I have drawn back the spring water, what are we going to eat at night?"

Gently rolling up the array map book in his hand, Wei Ye tilted his head, even if he replied to his own girl's greeting, and then replied: "Cook some rice, steam a few soup buns on the drawer, serve with a can of chicken and melon seeds and fried tofu, and then cook a pot of soup, that's just it." ”

Saying that it is improvised, this is also a recipe only for adventurers, and the ordinary caravans of this era, when camping, are just fried rice and wheat as the main food, accompanied by some hard stone-hard jerky and soup cooked in sauce, even if it is supremely delicious.

Sitting Chozi on the fire pit first, Wei Ye turned around and took the jar of spring water from Sima Ling's hand, and when he turned his eyes, he found that behind Sima Ling, there was still a small shadow. As the daylight darkened at this moment, this small figure was almost completely attached to Sima Ling's crimson hakama skirt, trembling like a little mouse.

Wei Ye's face sank suddenly: "Bell, in our family's court training, the first thing is that you must not be a goldfish guy who uses lollipops to trick children into going to the rooftop to watch goldfish." This precept must be followed by both men and women. Where did you kidnap this child, send them home!"

As expected, Sima Ling immediately pounced with his teeth and claws: "Uncle stupid, don't associate a lady with that strange perversion!"

Wei Ye turned his steps, easily let go of his own girl's flutter, and turned around and arrived at the child who was "abducted" by Sima Ling.

It turned out that as soon as he saw Wei Ye just now, the child instinctively curled up like a frightened little beast. At this moment, Wei Ye leaned over to look at him, although there was still a look of panic on his face, but his eyes were clear and bright, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, like a pair of stars who were the first to climb the sky, with a clear halo.

However, Wei Ye's proximity made the kid tremble even more. There is no way, although Wei Ye changed into a Qingxi Taoist uniform, a Xuanwen green scarf, and a Taoist outfit, but his height is also one meter eight, and he has a green scarf, which is too tall. Such a height, placed in the late Han Dynasty, is not too much to describe as seven feet of Angzang. What's more, the Taoist clothes and green scarves are all made of silk brocade, and it is said that they are from the Taoist family, but they are more like nobles of the family. This class symbol brought by clothing is enough to scare people with insufficient status by Wei Ye.

What's more, the child in front of him looked thin and small, and he was wrapped in a sheepskin torn jacket, full of dust and dirt, almost similar to a fishing net. This is the turn of spring and summer, this child is still wearing such a dress, it is conceivable that he is not a child of a tenant family, or a fugitive slave, maybe he escaped from the hands of a person passing by nearby. Looking at Wei Ye's outfit, it is normal to be afraid, not afraid, but a little abnormal.

Seeing that he couldn't communicate, Wei Ye simply gave up. Together, the immortal warlock glanced at Sima Ling, and opened his mouth directly: "Where did you get this child? Is there anyone searching around? If it is really a scumbag of slave traders, the front is not far from Hangu Pass, even if we want to intervene, we need to avoid the sergeant guarding the pass." Your uncle and I have this Dao method, and it is easy to deal with a dozen or twenty ordinary men. But if there are nearly 100 soldiers with bows and crossbows, and I am a single sword, even if I have the Qingxi Dao uniform to protect my body, I will inevitably have to fight hard......"

Hearing Wei Ye say this, Sima Ling first rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Uncle, your recent way of thinking has really become more and more violent. This kid was squatting alone in the grass at the source of the stream, and I saw that he had nowhere to go, so I would only nod and shake my head when I asked anything, so I just took him here first, and let him eat something first......"

Wei Ye listened to his own girl's accusations, and only shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal. However, he still interrupted Sima Ling's remarks directly: "When you were young, you came back with a stray cat, and you also told Sister A. Feed me something and leave? In the end, isn't that cat still in my house? This kind of perfunctory talk of a kind wife like Sister Ah will not work for my uncle!"

was debunked by Wei Ye, Sima Ling only snorted twice, and was about to defend something, Wei Ye had already taken out a washbox marked "rapidly biodegradable" from his sleeve and threw it at her: "Take this child to clean up first, and then come and have dinner with us!"

After taking the washing box, Sima Ling made a grimace, and was about to take the child to the stream, but unexpectedly, the thin child covered in dust suddenly stood up, bowed his head deeply to Wei Ye, and then bowed down to the ground, but made a standard bowing salute.

Wei Yezheng accepted this worship, then leaned over to help him up, stretched out his hand and touched his head: "Go, wash the dust with my bell, and come over to eat later." Don't worry, uncle, I'm an immortal cultivator, not a monster, and I don't want to eat children. ”

It's the sister next to you who is an out-and-out half-demon......

The skinny child's beautiful eyes like twilight stars looked at Wei Ye seriously. Although he was unkempt and his face was covered with mud, he seemed to be able to see a little bit of duanxiu mold, so he raised his hands, held Wei Ye's hand, and pulled it down, so that Wei Ye's slightly calloused hand that was used to holding the sword covered his little face, as if feeling the temperature of Wei Ye's palm.

Wei Ye smiled, squatted down, and let his sight be level with this skinny little boy: "Okay, don't worry, I won't leave you behind this part of the road." ”

......

.........

Seeing Sima Ling leave with the boy, Wei Ye sighed, and then poured the spring water from the jar into Choshi, who was sitting on the fire. As soon as the spring water touched the hot Choshi, it immediately made a soft sound and a white mist was raised. Wei Ye took out a small bag of rice from his sleeve, tore it open, and thought about it, but directly poured a small bag of rice into Choshi.

The color is dark green, and the hidden dark green rice grains are soaked in the spring water, revealing a color as smooth as jasper. A rich, sweet, slightly astringent smell is then dispersed into the air.

Wei Ye sat cross-legged by the fire, pinching the sword technique slightly in one hand, and carefully controlling the firepower with the mana of the Dongyang Sword Zhu, and was engrossed in it, but unexpectedly there was another strange man's voice in his ears:

"Well, this rice is so fragrant! The master's family, the mountain and forest cooking rice and wild food, are you also Lu Tong and Ge You's first-class mountain residence bait characters? Xiaosheng is presumptuous, can the master's pot of rice be given a vessel?"

The so-called Lu Tong and Ge You are all people who have cultivated the Tao by taking drugs such as pine resin and Poria cocos in Zhou Shishan. The person behind Wei Ye is not compared with Confucian hermits such as Liang Hong, but with Lu Ge and the two immortals, which shows that he is also a person who seeks immortals. Wei Ye smiled lightly, didn't look back, and asked rhetorically: "Since you know that the fragrance of my pot of rice is not evil, I don't know if you know the mystery of my rice?"

When the man behind him heard this, he raised his nose and sniffed a few times, before frowning and said, "In this sweet fragrance, there is a slight bitter smell. It doesn't look like pine flowers, it's not Atractylodes, and the smell of Shou Wu, chamomile, and wolfberry roots is not similar. Well, Xiao Sheng took the liberty of guessing, is this rice cooked from the juice of the southern candle?"

Wei Ye nodded slightly, and said in a mansheng voice: "Savages are fishy, and vegetable food is often not full. Is there no green rice that makes me look good? There is a lack of big pharmaceutical resources, and the mountains and forests are swept away. Only the red pine swims, and the grass is picked up in the future. Daoyou's nose is not bad, and he is also proficient in the way of serving bait, this bowl of green rice, long-term service to Ziyangqi, has the effect of lightweight, long-term, and ageless, and should be invited to a bowl of Daoyou. I just don't know what to call you?"

The man behind him clapped his hands and smiled: "It's a good 'how can there be no green essence rice, so that my color is good'! Daoist friends warmly invited me as an uninvited guest, and Xiaosheng Lujiang Zuo Yuanfang bothered Daoist friends." ”
