Jing Nan said loudly: "The famous sect in Zhenhuang Mountain is upright, and the disciples will definitely not be bad. I am a loose cultivator of Nanjing." Feng Gui nodded: "Loose cultivator cherishes the phoenix."
Du Heng: ...to die, these two people changed their names as soon as they said they wanted to. He hasn't figured out what his name is yet.
Xuanyu nodded: "Sanxiu Yuxuan and Taoist Du Heng, as well as the spiritual pet Xiaoxiao, Years and Years, Wonton Ciba."
After Xuan Yu finished his introduction, Shi Jun on the other side was strangely silent.Du Heng could feel Shi Jun's consciousness dangling back and forth on the back basket behind him. After a long while, Shi Jun said: "This is the first time I see such an obedient spiritual pet."
Feng Gui showed an ambiguous smile at Xuan Yu, has his nephew become a spiritual pet?Xuanyu looked back calmly, what else could it be if it wasn't a spiritual pet?
Shi Jun led Jing Nan and the others towards the cliff in the south, and there was a hole in the cliff.At the entrance of the cave stood a girl in purple clothes with a delicate face, her hand was pressed on a purple whip at her waist.
After seeing Shi Jun, she frowned slightly: "Senior Brother Shi, why don't you bring someone here after discussing with us?"
Shi Jundao: "Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Wen have been injured by the evil shark. With the strength of the three of us, we can't cross the river. These four fellow Taoists don't look like bad guys. They also want to cross the river. Why don't we sit down and think of a way together?" .”
The girl in purple turned her eyes around Du Heng and the others' faces, and when she saw Feng Gui, her eyes showed surprise.When she saw the cats, cats and dogs brought by Du Heng, her eyes lit up: "Yes! Senior Brother Shi is right, a person who can treat pets so well in Dongji Mountain must not be a bad person."
Jing Nan sent a voice transmission to everyone: "These should be disciples from the Dazong sect to practice, and they are all stupid." Although he didn't want to admit it, Du Heng felt that what Jing Nan said made sense.
There were two young men lying in the depths of the cave, one lost a leg and was leaning on the wall of the cave to recuperate, the other was lying on the ground with blood-stained gauze wrapped around his head, lethargic.When he saw Shi Jun before, Du Heng thought Shi Jun and his party were masters.When he saw the young people on the ground, Du Heng felt that he was thinking too much.
Shi Jun scratched his head in embarrassment, just when he was about to say something.The young man leaning on the mountain wall opened his eyes. His cultivation base is the highest among this group of people, and he has a mid-Gold Core cultivation base.As soon as he opened his eyes, a gust of sword energy filled the air.
This young man is a disciple of the Sword Sect, and sure enough he said: "Xu Changge from Shenxu Palace."
Hearing Xu Changge's name, Du Heng felt very subtle. He didn't expect to meet people from Shenxu Palace before leaving Dongji Mountain.To be honest, he has a bad impression of the people in Shenxu Palace, because Jinghong stole the Hun Tianzhu and gave it to the lover of Shenxu Palace, so that he couldn't transform into a smile.However, when he saw Xu Changge, he actually felt that he was worthy of being a disciple from the great sect, and his demeanor made people dare not approach him.
Although his expression is cold and arrogant, his temperament is very reserved.Seeing him for the first time, Du Heng remembered the first time he saw Xuan Yu.Xuan Yu also had such a desolate and reserved demeanor, with an overpowering nobility.
Xu Changge went straight to the point: "The five of us came to the Dongji Mountain ruins to practice, but we were separated from the sect and trapped here. The evil shark in the river has the Nascent Soul cultivation base. We fought with it for several days. If we still can't find a way to cross the river, wait until The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and we will all die in the mountains.”
Jing Nan smiled: "Don't worry about the evil shark, I'm a doctor, let me take a look at your injuries."
Xu Changge frowned slightly, he nodded after thinking for a moment: "Thank you."
After Jing Nan gave two injections, the young man next to Xu Changge woke up with a long snort.Seeing the young man woke up, Shi Jun and the girl next to him were very excited: "Brother Wen, you're awake! How do you feel?"
The young man sat up from the ground in a daze: "I am... what's wrong? Who are these people?"
At this time, the stone on the mountain wall in the cave moved slightly, and a young man with a bag on his back came out from the mountain wall.Seeing so many people in the cave, he was startled: "Hey? What's going on?"
Du Heng and the others soon heard another tragic story.
These few people are all direct disciples of the great sect, and the five people present happen to be members of the five major sects in the cultivation world.The girl in purple is named Liu Lingling, and she is the closed disciple of Yujing, the master of Langhuan Pavilion.The one whose head was smashed was named Wen Tingzhi, and he was the fifth disciple of the head of Tianyi Sect.The last one to appear from the mountain wall was Mu Qian, who was also a direct disciple of the head of the Dingkun Sect.
These five people each took their juniors to practice in the ruins in Dongji Mountain, and the training period was set to be one month.Entering the ruins went smoothly at the beginning, and the young disciples practiced well, but they didn't expect that when the experience was about to end, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the ruins.
I don't know which unlucky child triggered the protection restriction of the ruins. The moment the restriction was opened, the people in the ruins were bounced to various parts of Dongji Mountain by the formation.After Xu Changge and the others left the ruins, they wandered around in the Dongji Mountains, and even gathered a group of people.
However, there were too many ominous creatures in Dongji Mountain, and the young disciples who were almost cultivated died tragically one by one. In the end, only a few of them were left in the five major sects.It seemed that the Dasheng Gate was ahead, but they were blocked here by bloodthirsty vines and evil sharks.
During this period of time, Xu Changge and the others tried many ways to cross the river, but unfortunately they failed and were injured.If he hadn't met Jing Nan, Wen Tingzhi would still be in a coma.
Liu Lingling frowned: "We also tried to fight with the bloodthirsty vines with four vines, but we lost several disciples after one encounter." .
Xu Changge was cautious. He questioned Jing Nan and the others: "The four fellow Taoists are all casual cultivators? How did you come here?"
Jing Nan frowned: "Don't mention it, we originally wanted to try our luck in the mountains to see if we could find some spirit treasures to exchange for spirit stones. Unexpectedly, the hydrology and weather in the Dongji Mountains are unpredictable this year, and we almost couldn't get out. coming."
Xiaoxiao jumped out of the back basket, sat down on the ground and began to eat the snacks in the storage bag.It's lunch time and he's hungry.
As soon as Xiaoxiao started eating, the serious atmosphere changed.Liu Lingling's gaze was glued to Xiaoxiao's body and she didn't move away. She looked at Du Heng expectantly: "Friend Du, this pet of yours is so cute~ Can you let me pet it?"
Du Heng looked at Fenggui in embarrassment, Fenggui looked calm.Du Heng said: "You can try it, if Xiaoxiao lets you touch it, you can try it."
Liu Lingling fumbled from her sleeve for a while and took out a bottle of elixir. Jing Nan smelled that it was a elixir specially refined by Renxiu Zongmen to increase the aura of spirit beasts. This was also the elixir they ate most when they were young Yuan Dan.
Liu Lingling took out a mid-grade Peiyuan Pill from the bottle, put it on the palm of her hand and smiled seductively: "Little boy, come here."
Smiling and looking at the elixir, he got up and walked towards Liu Lingling.Liu Lingling put her palm in front of Xiaoxiao: "This is for you, can you let me touch it?"
Xiaoxiao looked up at Liu Lingling, then he lowered his head and picked up the elixir.He turned around and pointed his round butt at Liu Lingling, then he threw the pill on the ground and split it in half with his paws.He greeted each year: "Jiujiu."
He doesn't like Peiyuan Pill, but it can be used every year.After Nian Nian Sui Sui picked up Pei Yuan Pill, he smiled and looked at Liu Lingling eagerly.Liu Lingling reached out and touched Xiaoxiao's back: "Ah~ so soft~"
Liu Lingling touched it twice, then she stopped doing it with a smile, and he tweeted righteously to Liu Lingling.
Jing Nan said: "Smile and say, a pill can only be touched once, you touch it twice, and you have to give him another one." Seeing that the cultivators all looked at Jing Nan, Jing Nan said: After a long time, you will know what he means."
Du Heng covered his face, and smiled, did he have such a temper?
Liu Lingling was also obviously stunned, but she was not angry because she was smiling cutely.She smiled and said, "Which race is this little spirit beast? It's so cute and understands humanity."
Hearing this, Feng Gui and the others all squinted their eyes and smiled, isn't it human nature, because this is a child and not a spiritual pet!
Liu Lingling bargained with Xiaoxiao in a serious manner: "Do you know how many spirit stones this Peiyuan Pill costs? It's too bad to just let me touch it. How about this? I'll give you another pill and let me hug you." How about hugging?"
Xiaoxiao raised her little wings: "Chirp!" A deal was made.
The elixir in exchange for this time was given to Ciba with a smile.Ciba fell asleep lying on the ground after taking the elixir, while Xiaoxiao nestled in Liu Lingling's arms and let her touch it.
After being messed up by Xiaoxiao, everyone couldn't be serious anymore.
Du Heng looked at the sky: "It's getting late, shall I make lunch? Let's keep it simple at noon today. How about we eat hot and sour noodles?"
This morning, the aura was consumed a bit, so Du Heng wanted to eat something hot.Afraid that Jing Nan would have any objections, he said to Jing Nan, "If you don't like it, I'll cook three delicacies noodles for you."
Xuan Yu got up, and he said to Jing Nan and the others: "You guys continue to chat, I went to cook with Du Heng." Jing Nan waved: "Go, go."
Feng Gui looked at the man Xiu in the cave, and he said calmly: "Fellow Taoists, don't blame us, there will always be unexpected situations when we are walking outside. You also know that the current price of pills in the cultivation world, sometimes in order to save pills medicine, we will eat some meals in moderation."
As soon as Feng Gui said this, Shi Jun looked at them with sympathy.Cultivators in the realm of comprehension also have levels. Apart from the strict levels of cultivation, there are also unequal identities.
Disciples of big sects tend to look down on disciples of small sects, and disciples of small sects will look down on loose cultivators.
Take Zhenhuang Mountain where Shi Jun is located as an example. A core inner disciple like him can receive the most pills and spirit stones every month among all disciples.Even so, he would be unable to make ends meet. Sometimes when he saw a baby and wanted to buy it, he could only borrow money from his friends or ask the sect on credit.
There are times when core disciples like them are in distress, let alone those from outer sects and small sects.He had heard that the monthly income of the core disciples of the small sect was not as good as that of the disciples of the outer sects of their sect.The bigger the sect is, the more resources it has at its disposal, so people in the cultivation world want to run to the big sect even if their heads are squeezed.
Loose cultivators do not have sects, so it will be more difficult for them to advance.Every year, countless casual cultivators enter Dongji Mountain to try their luck, but most of them never come back.
Shi Jun and the others looked at Xuan Yu and the others setting up the stove, and they couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy in their eyes: Poor, there is no pill supply, they can only eat the food that ordinary people eat to replenish their spiritual energy.Come to think of it, they were really lucky.

Fenggui looked at Xu Changge and Wen Tingzhi: "What does the evil shark in the river look like?" Fenggui's attitude was the same as usual, and Du Heng and the others didn't think there was any problem.It's just that he is used to being condescending, and now he uses his usual tone when facing monks who seem to be of the same level as him, it will give people a feeling of arrogance.
Fortunately, he is good-looking, and everyone can tolerate him a little bit because of his appearance.
Jing Nan smoothed things over for Feng Gui: "Fellow daoists, don't blame me, my friend usually talks like this. What he meant was that both of you were injured, so you should have had direct contact with the evil shark. You can see what the evil shark looks like." What does it look like? And what are its attack methods?"
Wen Tingzhi scratched his hair in embarrassment: "I'm ashamed, I just met the evil shark, and I saw a black mass in the water. Then I didn't know anything."
Xu Changge pursed his lips: "There were eight of us when we came here on the first day. At that time, we tried it with flying swords. There were restrictions on the river where we could not use swords and had to ford. At that time, there was a monk named Shuilinggen among us. , he wrapped the enchantment around us and went into the water together.
"Unexpectedly, when we reached the middle of the river, a vortex suddenly appeared, and the three companions were swept into the water by the vortex. The five of us made it to the shore with great effort. The evil shark kept an eye on the situation on the water surface, Once there is a wave of spiritual energy, it will float up.
"We have no choice but to live in a cave on the edge of the cliff and observe the situation of the river. During this period, I observed that the vortex in the water would calm down every night at midnight. Therefore, I think the evil shark should rest at midnight moment.
"I thought about crossing the river while the evil shark was sleeping, but it still didn't work. Every time I dived to the middle of the river, there would be a vortex, and the river was so fast that it was too difficult to cross the river without spiritual energy."
Jing Nan frowned slightly: "Have you ever tried to cross the river bed?"
Xu Changge nodded: "I tried it, but there is too much silt and sand in the water, and there are countless undercurrents at the bottom. In the river, I can't see the situation ahead. I don't know which direction the evil shark will come from while entrenched in the water. My The leg just broke on the river bed."
Jing Nan said to Feng Gui: "It doesn't look easy." Feng Gui came over via voice transmission: "We used to have hundreds of ways to deal with the evil shark, but now we can't use any of them."
Du Heng propped the stove at the entrance of the hole. He doesn't like narrow places, which will affect his cooking.Just as he bent down to move out the kimchi jar, Xuan Yu stood behind Du Heng.
Du Heng heard Xuan Yu's voice: "Du Heng, I'm going to seal the Magic Dzi Bead." Just as Du Heng wanted to raise his head, Xuan Yu said slowly: "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt. You stand up slowly and face me , move more naturally."
Du Heng put the kimchi jar on the chopping board, and he turned to look at Xuanyu.Xuan Yu put his hand on Du Heng's chest, he smiled and said: "It doesn't hurt, don't be afraid."
Du Heng felt a wave of heat surge to his chest, and then wrapped his heart.The heat circulated around the heart for a few times, and Du Heng felt his chest tighten, but it didn't hurt, just a feeling of suffocation.Fortunately, that feeling was fleeting, and Du Heng soon became alive and well.
Xuanyu sound transmission explained: "Before the seal is released, the dishes you cook will not be rich in spiritual energy." Du Heng understood: "It means that the taste is easy to digest. It seems that everyone's appetite will double from today."
Xuan Yu smiled and nodded: "I've wronged you." Du Heng clenched his fist and lightly touched Xuan Yu's chest: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
As soon as the kimchi jar was opened, a hot and sour taste wafted out.Du Heng took out two handfuls of sour cowpeas and a small handful of pickled peppers from it.Smelling this smell, the human cultivators who had just said that they had suffered a lot immediately stretched their necks.
Fenggui even stood up and said, "Give me one." Fenggui liked the taste of sour cowpea for the first time ever since he ate it under Lao Dao's guidance.
Xiaoxiao directly jumped out of Liu Lingling's arms, and he brought them to Du Heng's stove and surrounded Du Heng to ask for sour cowpea.
Mu Qian looked enviously at the position of the entrance of the cave: "It's great." He hasn't seen this kind of homely scene for a long time, and he still remembers that he was in his hometown before he started, and he would follow the elders in the family around the pot.
Liu Lingling said reassuringly: "You can tell that Fellow Daoist Du is a good person just by looking at him. Look, how well he takes care of his pets. Only kind-hearted people treat their pets kindly." Kind-hearted people, Only then can we cooperate with confidence.
Du Heng took out the previously made potato flour, which he made in Yunzheng Dongfu.Yun Zheng and the others found a lot of yams for Du Heng, and they were white-hearted yams. They taste dry when eaten directly, and they don’t need too much as a side dish. Even if they are all put in the refrigerator, they won’t fit.
While practicing, Du Heng washed the yams, ground them into fine powder, and washed the yam powder.The color of the potato flour is a little gray when it is just made, and it turns milky white after it is dried.Often, only [-] catties of sweet potatoes can produce [-] or [-] catties of flour, which can be eaten and used in the refrigerator.
Du Heng originally wanted to use the Tianhu scale to weigh five catties of powder, but after looking at the people in the cave, he put away the Tianhu scale anyway.He took most of the pot of sweet potato flour and roughly divided it into two halves, adding water to one half to make a paste.
Put more than half of the water in the cauldron, and Du Heng also prepared a large wooden basin on the chopping board, and put more than half of the water in the wooden basin.
Xuanyu asked: "Do you need my help?" Du Heng nodded: "Yes! I will be a vermicelli later, you have to help me stir it, and help me scoop up the vermicelli." When Du Heng said this, Xuanyu didn't Know exactly what to do, but he soon knew.
After the water in the pot boiled, Du Heng scooped up a spoonful of boiling water and poured it into the sweet potato flour that had been made into a paste.As soon as the sweet potato flour met boiling water, it turned into brown solidified lumps. Xuanyu immediately understood what he was going to do. A wooden stick appeared in his hand and began to stir the sweet potato flour frantically.
With the addition of boiling water, half a pot of sweet potato flour was scalded into a brown-yellow transparent paste.Just when Xuanyu felt that it was almost the same, Du Heng poured the sweet potato flour that he had just divided into the sweet potato paste: "Come on!"
It has to be said that Xuan Yu and Du Heng have a tacit understanding, the two cooperate well, and others are envious.
Liu Lingling held her face together: "It's great! Fellow Daoist Yuxuan and Fellow Daoist Du Heng have a matching face, and you can see that they have been a couple for a long time. There is a tacit understanding!"
Jing Nan and Feng Gui looked at each other, but they didn't express their opinions.
Du Heng started to make vermicelli, and the cultivators couldn't sit still. Liu Lingling and the others were quite reserved at first, but after a while, the group gathered around the stove and watched: "What is this for? It looks so interesting."
After being stirred, the powdery paste in the wooden basin has changed from transparent to cloudy... paste.Dip the chopsticks a little and you can see that the batter is pulled up and slides off the chopsticks continuously.
At this time, Du Heng took out the colander that had just been made. The colander was round, with densely packed round holes underneath.The diameter of the round hole was about the same as that of chopsticks. Du Heng scooped a large spoonful of the powder paste into the colander with a spoon.
The powder sticky overflowed from the hole below, they gathered under the hole, and then condensed into drops of big round heads before falling down from the colander.There was a continuous stream of vermicelli behind the big heads, and when Du Heng lowered the colander in his hand, the big heads fell into the wooden basin and merged with the flour paste below.
The big heads broke apart, and uniform vermicelli hung on the colander. At this time, Du Heng moved the colander to the top of the cauldron.When the vermicelli fell into the boiling water, they turned into transparent vermicelli. They fell into the pot in long and short lengths, and floated up after a while.
Xuanyu was already standing beside him with long chopsticks, and when he saw the vermicelli floating up, he scooped it up and put it in a wooden tub of cold water.Seeing Du Heng working hard with the wooden spoon, Xuan Yu gently caught the wooden spoon with spiritual energy: "Let me come, you just take out the vermicelli."
With Xuan Yu making a move, Du Heng is of course much more relaxed.Xuanyu's spiritual energy wrapped the vermicelli in the wooden basin and poured it into the colander continuously.The vermicelli under the colander fell into the boiling water in long stretches.Without waiting for Du Heng to remind, Xuan Yu disconnected the vermicelli, and he blinked at Du Heng: "Is this long enough?"
Du Heng gave a thumbs up: "Enough! As expected of Xiaoyu, it's amazing!"
If there were not so many people staring behind him, Du Heng would have kissed Xuan Yu.After a while, the vermicelli in the wooden basin turned into taupe vermicelli in another basin. Du Heng took the wooden basin and moved it to the chopping board: "Next, let's make hot and sour noodles and three fresh sweet potato noodles!"
The soul of hot and sour powder is capers, and Du Heng does not accept any refutation on this point!
He chopped the capers into small pieces the size of a fingernail, and chopped the pickled peppers as well, and then he took out a fist-sized piece of yam meat and chopped it into minced meat.
After the bottom oil in the pot was hot, Du Heng pushed the pickled peppers into the pot and stir-fried until fragrant.The hot and sour taste spread immediately, and Du Heng coughed: "Xiaoyu, smoke from the lampblack."
The aura in Xuanyu's hand turned, and the oily smoke was drawn out of the cave, and Du Heng felt more comfortable.He poured the minced meat with mountain paste into the stir-fried pickled peppers and stir-fried. After the fat in the minced meat was fried out, he cooked some white wine.
After a little stir-fry, he poured the sour cowpea into the pot and stir-fried evenly.This dish of capers with minced meat does not need too much seasoning, because the beans have a taste, and the hot and sour taste is enough to cover the taste of the meat.
Du Heng put a plate of yellowish beans with minced meat on the chopping board, and Feng Gui had already stretched out his sinful paws to pinch the beans and ate them: "It's sour and spicy, delicious~"
Du Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be ready soon. By the way, fellow Daoist Liu, do you eat spicy food or not? I'm ready."
Liu Lingling and the others were stunned for a moment: "Hey? Do we have a share too?" Du Heng nodded: "Yes, as long as you don't dislike it. As for Wen Daoyou and Xu Daoyou, I will cook some porridge for you later."
Xu Changge wanted to say no, but he looked at Du Heng's smiling face and said nothing.He saluted coldly: "Thank you."
The three delicacies soup Du Heng directly used the big bone soup base that was boiled in the refrigerator before, and there were mushrooms in it. Du Heng was going to cut a marinated egg and put a few slices of marinated meat. This is the three delicacies sweet potato powder.However, he soon realized that the dishes he cooked before were full of energy, and he looked at Xuan Yu in trouble.
Xuanyu said via voice transmission: "It's okay, their cultivation base is not enough to detect the difference, and it will be fine to infer that the meat slices are made of spirit beast meat." Du Heng was relieved, otherwise this point, Where did he get the three delicacies soup base?
Liu Lingling eats three delicacies, while Shi Jun and Mu Qian both eat hot and sour.Eight bowls were quickly placed on the stove, only four bowls were filled with bone broth, and the other four bowls contained seasoning Du Heng was preparing.
In another bowl, Du Heng scooped two spoonfuls of chili oil, one spoonful of chopped green onion, one spoonful of minced garlic, and one spoonful of pepper powder, and then added two spoonfuls of vinegar, two and a half spoonfuls of soy sauce, and half a spoonful of salt and sugar.After the base material was mixed with boiling water, the bowl became red immediately, and a hot and sour taste strongly irritated everyone's nostrils.
