Chapter 174: Earn a lot of salt and marry a daughter-in-law
The third uncle's cultivation is very low, and the young man is an ordinary person. Chen Hao was not worried that he would be discovered by them, and he did not hide until he touched a piece of grass very close to the two of them, and then hid and observed them carefully.
A tempting aroma of barbecue wafted over with the young man's voice: "...... The Cao family won again?"
The middle-aged man held the stick that held the roast duck in one hand and took out several thick plant leaves in the other. Crush the leaves vigorously, dripping the juice on top of the duck and then sprinkling the crumbs on the leaves.
At the same time, he said to the young man: "Yes, the Cao family drove away all the people in the heavenly realm. We didn't dare to come closer, but we saw from a distance that the fight was terrible. β
"The people of the Heavenly Realm are so powerful, how could they not be able to defeat the Cao family?" the young man wondered.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? The great immortals in the sky can't enter our mortal world, so they are all small soldiers and young generals. The Cao family tamed almost all the demon beasts on their side, and the number of heavenly soldiers and generals was too small. The people of the Cao family didn't show up at all, relying on demon beasts, war beasts, and spirit beasts, they won the heavenly realm. β
"What about the Heavenly Array?" the young man was a little anxious.
"Of course, it was ruined by the Cao family...... Come, I'm cooked, you eat first. β
The middle-aged man has been patiently caring for the wild duck in his hand, so it is evenly heated. While the boy was talking, the roast duck in his hand was far away from the bonfire, and now some places have been @δΈ@ζ¬@read-novel xstxt burnt, but most of them are not cooked yet.
The two exchanged the wild ducks in their hands, and the young man tore a bite of the duck meat and chewed it for a while, holding the food in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Third uncle, your salted vegetables are too little, they are tasteless!"
"When you have salt in the future, just put salt directly on the barbecue, then it will be called delicious! Even if I add a few more slices of salted vegetables, it will still have this light taste. Eat it, don't be disgusted. β
"Third uncle, didn't the medicine we picked sell a lot of salt? The boy said with a playful smile.
"Okay, you want to eat, don't you? Then don't have a daughter-in-law. This salt is saved for you to marry a daughter-in-law, do you want a daughter-in-law or do you want to eat salt?" said the middle-aged man.
The boy raised his left hand, which was covered in flesh, and scratched his head. Whether to have a daughter-in-law or delicious food is really a dilemma for him.
However, judging from the language of the adults, it is obvious that the daughter-in-law is much more important than the delicious food. So the young man finally decided to give up the idea of eating salt, but he was still a little unwilling: "Alas, why can't the immortals and gods of the heavenly realm clean up the Cao family?"
The middle-aged man continued to roast the half-finished roast duck that the young man had roasted, and glanced at the young man a few times, and finally sighed and said, "Ah Yue, it seems that you can't wait for the day when the Tongtian Array will reappear in the world." When I go back this time, I'll give you a spiritual enlightenment. β
The boy nodded and said, "Yes." I'll be able to do other work and earn more salt when the time comes. β
Hearing this, Chen Hao vaguely discovered something, but at the same time, he also had a lot of doubts.
The "heavenly realm" in the mouth of Ah Yue's uncle and nephew should refer to Taihao Tian.
The Cao family refers to the mastermind behind the manipulation of demon beasts to confront themselves and others.
Although this statement is a bit strange, but when you look at it in connection, the things you talk about are exactly the right match with what has happened recently!
Nearly two hundred years have passed since Hakukoma Cave got out of control.
Because there are no monks above the foundation building period in Baiju Cave, even if a Qi practitioner in the Qi cultivation period can reach the limit of ordinary people's lifespan, they will not live for two hundred years.
Then it can be guessed that these people who exist in the White Horse Cave have been multiplying for at least seven or eight generations. And the earliest first generation, there should be no one still alive in the world. The second and third generations are a little later, and I am afraid that there are very few people who are still alive.
On Earth, history just a few decades ago can be a mess that makes it difficult to see the truth. The two hundred years of Hakukoma Cave can be seen as a similar situation without the monsters that have lived for thousands of years.
The history of 200 years is not long, but it is not short. It is understandable to regard "Taihao Tian" as the "Heavenly Realm" with false rumors.
What puzzled Chen Hao was that these two uncles and nephews didn't seem to be in the same group as the "Cao family"!
From their words, it can be seen that they hope that the "Heavenly Realm", that is, Taihao Tian, can win and regain control of the White Horse Cave.
And it seems to be in a hostile state with the Cao family, because the "third uncle" had observed the battle between the two sides from afar, but he didn't dare to approach.
In this small world, there are still several forces!
"Find an opportunity to engage with them. Chen Hao secretly decided.
As for the two uncles and nephews, the strangeness in their dress and speech is not an important matter, and they can be ignored for the time being.
In addition, the words of the uncle and nephew also revealed that they were not two isolated people.
Judging from the words "salt", "daughter-in-law" and so on, there is a large force behind them.
Chen Hao decided to find out what the power of the uncle and nephew was related to the Cao family, and what was their attitude towards Tai Haotian.
Of course, he wouldn't just walk over and make direct contact with the two of them.
After the uncle and nephew were asleep in the humble tent by the fire, Chen Hao quietly approached them again.
There were still more than ten zhang away from the tent, and Chen Hao saw a white curtain more than two feet high on the ground. The curtain was made up of four or five knick-knacks lined up in a row, which looked like the building blocks of an array plate, but much simpler.
"That's what they're guarding, isn't it? No wonder they sleep so comfortably and don't leave a personal vigil. This thing, when a monster approaches, it will be triggered. β
But this thing can't help Chen Hao.
In addition to this white curtain that can only be seen by those who have opened the eyes of the sky, Chen Hao also found some lines that also serve as a warning, connecting those small components in a disorderly manner, distributed in a higher place. A few more crossed the entire cordon and joined together.
Avoiding these things, Chen Hao approached the tent.
There was a light and heavy snoring sound from the two of them in their ears, they didn't know that Chen Hao was already by their side, but fortunately Chen Hao had no intention of killing them.
Two bamboo baskets are placed outside the tent.
Chen Hao took a look, and there were some medicinal materials in it, all of which cultivators could use to refine pills. However, these medicinal herbs are not very big in vintage, and they are not very valuable.
In addition, there are more than a dozen fat green leaves in the bamboo basket.
Chen Hao remembered that this was the kind of leaf that the middle-aged man pinched and dropped on the wild duck, which they called "salt vegetables".
He examined the leaves, felt that they would not be noticed, took a slice from it, and then retreated lightly towards the outside of the cordon of his uncle and nephew.
