Chapter 16: A Good Life
Ever since it was complimented by all the demons and monsters who came to the 'Black Shop Lunch', Jiujie has become more studious, and every time it remembers the surprise and envy of others for its name, it feels that it should become a learned person, otherwise it will be sorry for its own name—although with its current IQ, it can't tell what is sincere admiration and what is a mere compliment.

Out of a studious heart, Jiujie has been very curious about the shopkeeper's behavior recently. Since the last sermon, the shopkeeper has been going back and forth between the black shop and a mountain depression filled with black dirt dozens of miles away. Then they mixed the black soil and plant ash from the depression and poured it into the hot tub. Sometimes when the shopkeeper is busy, he will ask Jiujie to come over to help stir, and at night, after the temperature drops, the filtered solution will slowly turn into a crystal. The shopkeeper will always collect these crystals carefully. At the earliest, Jiujie thought that this was making a special condiment, and once tasted it with a pig's mouth, but the taste was really unsatisfactory. I asked the shopkeeper a few times, and the shopkeeper always smiled and said nothing, and at the same time there was a lonely color in his eyes, so Jiujie didn't ask anymore, but just did a good job of the task of the shopkeeper.
There is also a different place, every time after cooking, the charcoal left over from burning will be poured into the valley behind - the shopkeeper once said that this is called returning the field, which is conducive to the growth of plants in the valley, which once made Jiujie full of reverence for the shopkeeper's compassionate heart. It's just that this kind of behavior has been less recently, and even if there is charcoal poured into the valley, it is what is left after being picked by the shopkeeper. Of course, Jiujie who has experienced it will not ask too much.
In addition to these small changes, Qiangliang continued to operate the business of 'black shops'. Now, the creatures within a radius of a hundred miles no longer need Qiang Liang to compel them to eat, but more of them come to eat on their own. The first is that the food here is really delicious, and the second is that I hope to learn some secrets of cultivation from the occasional language of the shopkeeper. It is said that since the last time a deer demon broke through on the spot, some of the demons and monsters who returned to their respective lairs have broken through one after another, which has greatly strengthened their confidence in Qiangliang.
Everything seemed beautiful. The nine precepts in the early stage of the immortals have already shown signs of moving towards the middle stage under the care of Qiangliang, and Ximei is also making continuous progress, and it has made rapid progress among the creatures who have just opened their spiritual wisdom, and since the last time they listened to Qiangliang's preaching, there have been faint signs of breaking through. This made Qiang Liang very surprised by his cultivation talent, and even a little jealous, but every time he saw the encouraging eyes of Brother Pig, a guy who was very likely to be surpassed, Qiang Liang felt very ashamed of his little family. It's just that every time Jiujie sees the progress of 'Ximei', he will subconsciously rub a long rattan with those pair of pig's trotters, and at the same time, his eyes will shine, and he will look very intoxicated - this is the rhythm of daydreaming! This once made Qiang Liang very worried, and in later generations I heard that there was a type of people who would have the psychological problem of "fetish". "It seems that the education of the nine precepts still can't be relaxed!" Qiang Liang thought.
If I have to say something that is not good, there are also places. The memory of the 'monk' seems to have slowly recovered some, some very practical spells, may have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and now they are even more handy, flying, lighting, fireballs, water balloons, etc., and some cognitive things about the flood famine, which greatly facilitates everyone's life, which makes Brother Pig envious. Ximei also secretly expressed concern about Qiang Liang, in case the 'monk' completely regained his memory, he was afraid that it would cause unknown damage to the 'black shop'. 'Ximei' is very smart, even if it doesn't have the ability to speak, it still expresses what it wants to express clearly.
Qiang Liang is not too worried about this, Jiujie is a blessed one, all the dangers it has encountered have finally turned into dangers, and this guy is naturally sensitive to danger, once the danger comes, it can always sense it in advance and hide far away. Otherwise, it would have been eaten by other beasts, and there would not even be any bones left. Ximei is even more of a personal essence, no, it is chicken essence, and there is no need to worry about Qiangliang. The most important thing is Qiang Liang's self-confidence, he believes that he has the ability to protect Jiujie and Ximei in the event of an incident, as for Qiang Liang himself, then he can only "hahaha".
Of course, Qiang Liang disagrees with Ximei's statement that he should take precautions and kill the 'monk' first, after all, Qiang Liang and the 'monk' have no deep hatred, not to mention that he also let go of other people's tiger mounts and made people amnesia. As for whether the 'monk' will destroy it after recovering his memory, that is a matter for the future, and Qiang Liang from later generations respects the sentence "You can't think that a person is a criminal just because he may commit a crime!" You must know that Qiang Liang was in the later life, as an adolescent teenager, he occasionally did some not very good things. But YY is free, YY is not a sin!
So Qiang Liang can't do the thing of killing the monk now, not to mention that he still feels a little guilty.
It's not a bad thing that the 'monk' has regained some of his memories, at least to a limited extent, and he has answered a lot of doubts in Qiangliang's mind. Since the Lich War, the defeated Wu people have retreated to the harsh environment of Beiju Luzhou, in order to survive, which is why Qiang Liang Jingshi has not seen a person from the Wu clan for so long, and the demon clan is bound by Nuwa Niangniang, mainly distributed in Xiniu Hezhou, where the black shop is located in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but it is a human settlement, so although I have encountered a lot of monsters and elves or something, but they are all ghosts who have just awakened their wisdom. After the Lich War, the protagonist of the Terran Flood is still established, even if it is weak now, but it should not be underestimated, so it occupies a state. As for Nanzhan Buzhou, the monk is not very clear.
Of course, Qiang Liang still kept his responsibilities in mind, so he specifically learned about the situation of the Hundred Tribes in the Lower Flood Wilderness. The monk only knows the general situation of the races with relatively large populations now, but the relatively rare races, such as the dragon clan and the phoenix clan, are not clear.
Qiang Liang sighed, but since then, he can only take one step at a time, he does not plan to join the Wu people now, he is not strong enough, and he does not have the ability to lead the Wu Clan to prosperity.
"The flood doesn't count the years, and I don't have a clue, so I can only grope for it. Let's open our own store first. Qiang Liang thought. The main thing is that he is very satisfied with his current life.
