The king of defense

Wei Ru has a beautiful smile, and her slightly bulging face looks very cute.

There are also hair on the temples hanging down by the ears. As the breeze blows, it caresses the reddish cheeks. There is a hint of maturity in the cuteness.

Who knows if such a beautiful girl will take advantage of some brat in the future? !

With this in mind, Liu Bi introduced Wei Ru into the hospital.

Then he took out a strange-looking stove from the house.

The oval base is about ten centimeters high, with a rectangular opening in the middle.

There are floral patterns on the surface, which look like peonies.

There is a copper pot on the base, with a small cone-shaped chimney in the center.

Such a peculiar shape made Weiru feel very novel.

"Uncle Liu, what is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"This is a hot pot utensil, a way of cooking food. I accidentally saw it in ancient books, so I made it. What I treat you to eat today is hot pot."

Liu Bi placed the hot pot utensils on the stone table in the courtyard.

There is no hot pot in this world, at least not in his impression.

But it would be a great pity if hot pot, a human delicacy, is not beneficial to the people around you.

And hot pot is also a way to promote feelings between friends.

There is a saying that goes well, if friendship is not enough, come with hot pot. If one meal is not enough, then have a few more meals.

Listening to Liu Bi's introduction, Wei Ru put her little head in front of the hot pot and looked at the strange thing in front of her.

At this time, Liu Bi put the red-hot charcoal into the base, and then put the hot pot ingredients and an appropriate amount of clear spring into the pot.

Suddenly, small bubbles appeared at the bottom of the copper pot, spreading the fiery red color of the hot pot ingredients in the pot.

Then a strong spicy smell spread in the air, bringing out the greed in people's stomachs.

"It looks delicious." Weiru licked her tongue and wanted to drink a bowl of soup with a spoon.

Liu Bi couldn't laugh or cry and said, "This soup is not for drinking. It's too spicy. Go to the kitchen and take out the ingredients I prepared. I'll prepare some dipping sauce and we can get started."

Wei Ru put down the bowl angrily, glanced at the hot pot soup reluctantly, and trotted into the kitchen.

Liu Bi shook his head, "What a snack!"

With that said, Liu Bi started to mix the dipping sauce.

Because Liu Bi is preparing spicy hot pot today, he pays attention to the neutrality of the dipping sauce.

That is to say, while reducing the spiciness in hot pot, it increases the richness of the taste and achieves a true combination of color, flavor and flavor.

Of course, you can skip the dipping sauce, but the taste will always be a bit worse.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Bi raised his head and looked across the half-man-high wall. He could see a middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes standing at the entrance of the courtyard, with a bit of curiosity and confusion on his face.

This person is Wu Daozi, Liu Bi's cheap senior brother.

Seeing Liu Bi's gaze, Wu Daozi smiled slightly.

"Junior Brother Liu, are you refining the elixir? Why does it smell so good?"

Liu Bi was stunned for a moment, and then told Wu Daozi what he had said to Wei Ru.

"Huh? There is such a magical way to eat in the world. I must try it today."

With that said, Wu Daozi walked into the courtyard minding his own business.

Seeing this, Liu Bi woke up.

The senior brother probably came here because of the smell. He asked me if I was refining elixirs before, but was at a loss for words. How could a dignified monk in the transformation stage not be able to tell if I was refining elixirs?

He just came here for the hot pot! ! !

Wu Daozi looked at the boiling soup base in the pot and unconsciously picked up the bowl, wanting to take a bowl and taste it.

Liu Bi stopped him quickly.

Wu Daozi gave up in frustration, his expression the same as Wei Ru's before.

Liu Bi sighed in his heart, they are indeed two masters and apprentices, both are foodies!

At this time, Weiru took out the hot pot ingredients and was not too surprised when she saw the master.

As a close disciple of Wu Daozi, she only needed to take a look and already understood why the master was here. He must be here to eat and drink.

When she was a child, the master would take a piece of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake given to her by her mistress to see if it had expired.

Liu Bi was not disgusted with Wu Daozi's arrival, but was very happy.

He has regarded the other party as his senior brother, so naturally he will not be stingy with a hot pot meal.

Liu Bi prepared the dipping sauce for everyone, and then demonstrated how to eat hot pot and how long each ingredient needed to be cooked.

Wu Daozi and Wei Ru listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.

After a while, Liu Bi waved his hand.

"Okay, let's get started!"

"Then we're welcome."

Wu Daozi and Wei Ru picked up the chopsticks instantly.

The first target to target is the fat cow.

Thinly sliced ​​beef is simmered in the pot for a few times and served with dipping sauce.

It's so hot in the mouth that it burns your tongue.

Take another bite and it will be extremely fragrant and tender.

The taste is unforgettable and really wonderful.

Trying other ingredients, the taste is even more different, which is eye-catching.

As they ate, Wu Daozi and Wei Ru started to gasp. It seemed that the spicy food was getting stronger and they had begun to doubt their lives.

But the taste was so delicious that I couldn’t help but pick up another chopstick. Who can resist the temptation of this delicious food?

Liu Bi was quite calm. As a Shu native in his previous life, he had long been accustomed to this level of spiciness, and even thought it was a piece of cake.

If it weren't for the fact that Wu Daozi and Wei Ru didn't like spicy food, he would have wanted to grab two more handfuls of chili peppers and add them in.

After dinner, Wu Daozi and Liu Bi sat in the courtyard drinking tea, while Wei Ru diligently cleaned up the dishes.

Wu Daozi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I have to say, the hot pot you made is really delicious, but it's a bit spicy. I don't know if it will be thinner tomorrow?!"

Liu Bi glanced at Wu Daozi and said, "Young master, we are all cultivators of immortality, how can we be so rare? You are not out of words, are you?"

Wu Daozi's face froze, "No way, it's just that we haven't talked like this for a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable. To be honest, you've changed a lot."

Liu Bi's heart tightened, and he asked with a normal expression: "Change? What change?"

Wu Daozi said: "You used to be gentle and gentle, you would never lose your temper, and you were kind to everyone. Now..."

Liu Bi asked: "What's wrong now? Why do you speak in half words, it's like shit."

Wu Daozi's face darkened, "You have a really bad temper now. Once you are justified, you will never compromise at all. Even if you are not justified, you will try not to compromise. You are completely different from before. If you hadn't been with me all the time, You were practicing beside me, and I thought you had been snatched away."

Liu Bi didn't know how to answer the question and could only remain silent.

Seeing that Liu Bi was silent, Wu Daozi started talking to himself.

"So I think it is your experiences in the past few years that have caused a big change in your temperament. Although it is difficult to change a person's character, natural disasters and man-made disasters can always reverse a person's outlook on life."

Liu Bi exclaimed in his heart that it was wonderful. The explanation given by Wu Daozi was something he couldn't come up with even if his brain was overloaded.

Liu Bi thought for a while and said, "In your opinion, am I getting better or worse?"

Wu Daozi clapped his hands and said: "You have become so good. I thought you were too gentle before. You were obviously talented and destined to become a great army, but you had a sheep-like personality and could easily be taken advantage of by others. Now you have risen again and have a good character." He has made great progress and is destined to fly high.”

"Oh, just average!!!"

Liu Bi raised his head proudly, but then he thought something was wrong.

"I know I'm very good, but it's really strange for you to praise me like this. Do you have something to do with me?"

Wu Daozi gave a thumbs up, "As expected of my junior brother, he is so smart. Have you ever heard of the Northern Territory Competition?"

Liu Bi shook his head in confusion, "No!!!"

It's not that he's pretending to be stupid, it's that he really doesn't know.

Even the memory of the previous host has no relevant information.

Wu Daozi explained: "The Northern Territory Competition is held every hundred years. It is held by the major cultivating sects in the Northern Territory in turn. It is definitely a grand event in the Northern Territory. Not only are the talented disciples of each sect emerging, but also the promising elders of each sect. Appearing again. This year’s Northern Territory Competition will be held in Hexiang Valley. At that time, heroes from all over the world will gather in Hexiang Valley. It is definitely a good place to show off your talents. How about it? Are you interested in participating? "

Liu Bi said without interest: "No, I have been busy recently, so I will not participate. Moreover, I have only completed the foundation stage. I want to come to the Northern Territory Competition. There are many elders in the golden elixir stage of each sect. I am not just a pure person." Are you just giving away people’s heads?!”

No wonder he couldn't get interested. Now he didn't want anything else but to gain anger points.

I really don’t want to get involved in things like being in the limelight.

Even if he could earn anger points, he didn't want to go.

You must know that making trouble in the Northern Territory Competition is not as simple as making trouble in Wanjian Sect.

If you mess up and cause public outrage, your life will be in danger.

The risks and benefits are completely out of proportion.

It's better to capture the people of Wanjian Sect and keep gathering them.

Everyone is their own people, they are all family members who love each other, and they will not do anything too drastic.

Except for Ao Zuo, this old boy is very bad.

Wu Daozi said: "This competition between the elders of each sect, at most, only the elders in the early stage of the Golden Core will participate. As long as you can advance to the Golden Core stage, you will not be able to deal with the monks in the early stage of the Golden Core with your strength. matter."

Liu Bi was unmoved, "If there is no breakthrough, I will definitely be pressed to the ground and rubbed by the Jindan monk. I am shy by nature and I really can't afford to embarrass this person."

Wu Daozi couldn't bear it and said: "How can you be willing to participate in the Northern Territory Competition?"

Seeing this, Liu Bi could only sigh, "I heard that you have a lot of good things in your treasure house, and I just need a useful weapon."

Wu Daozi's eyes widened, "Which bastard can say that?"

At this time, Wei Ru had just walked out of the kitchen with the cut watermelon. Upon hearing this, she shook her little hand and quietly stepped back.

I just told Uncle Liu that the master likes to collect weapons, but I didn't say that the master's treasure house contains many good things.

It's definitely not me, how could it be me!

Listening to Wu Daozi's question, Liu Bi said honestly: "Ao Zuo said it!!!"

Wu Daozi was stunned, then laughed and scolded: "Come on, Ao Zuo can tell you such a good thing? Forget it, I don't want to let the child trap the wolf, just go to my treasure house and choose a weapon."

Liu Bi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior brother, but I'm curious, why do you insist on me participating in the Northern Territory Competition?"

Wu Daozi stroked the tea cup and said, "If it were just a simple competition in the Northern Territory, I would not insist on your participation. However, this time it is related to the opening of the secret realm of Yaochi. Each sect will send three elders of the highest golden elixir early stage to compete. The sect that wins the top three will be qualified to explore the Yaochi Secret Realm. You are very strong, so I hope you can become one of the three elders sent by Wanjian Sect."

Liu Bi asked: "I have just completed the Foundation Establishment Stage, wouldn't the other elders have any objections?"

Wu Daozi said arrogantly: "I am the leader, who dares to have an opinion?"

Liu Bi was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Where is the secret place of Yaochi?"

Wu Daozi said: "The secret realm of Yaochi is a part of the immortal world. It is rumored that there are many secret treasures in it. However, it has disappeared since the fall of the immortal world. It will appear in the human world this time. It seems to be related to the extinct ephemeral clan."

Liu Bi said in shock: "Isn't the Mayfly tribe extinct?"

The mayfly clan is an ancient race that evaporated overnight without a trace thousands of years ago.

Some ancient monks once investigated the past, but they still couldn't find the reason.

Wu Daozi said solemnly: "We don't know. Maybe it's the blessing of heaven, but that's not the point. It is said that there is a secret road in the secret realm of Yaochi, which can lead to the most mysterious heaven in the fairy world, where the fairy world is buried. The secret of the fall, as well as the countless treasures in the immortal world, this is why I attach so much importance to the Northern Territory Competition."

Hearing this, Liu Bi said solemnly: "I didn't expect there to be such a relationship, but with my strength in participating in the Northern Territory Competition, I have no chance of winning. Do you want to think about it again?"

Wu Daozi said firmly: "Don't doubt yourself. With your talent and strength, you definitely have a guaranteed chance of winning."

Liu Bi was really curious about where Wu Daozi's confidence in himself came from.

In fact, when Liu Bi advanced to the Dzogchen stage of foundation building, a strange vision came from the sky, which already made Wu Daozi look at him with admiration.

I would like to ask in the world of immortality, how many people have achieved breakthroughs in cultivation that can trigger strange phenomena from the sky?

This is why Wu Daozi is confident in Liu Bimi.

Another reason is trust.

The Northern Territory Competition is really important. Wu Daozi's recruitment must not only be highly capable, but also trustworthy.

So Liu Bi is definitely the best choice.

Seeing that Wu Daozi would not change his mind, Liu Bi could only nod and said: "Anyway, I will try my best, but senior brother, don't put all your treasure on me. It's not a bad thing to make more preparations."

When Wu Daozi heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay, if we lose, I will smash the Yaochi Secret Realm to pieces with one sword, and no one will be able to benefit."

Liu Bi was confused in the wind and didn't know how to answer. Who knew if the senior brother was joking or if he really thought so, but with the senior brother's character, he might actually be able to do it.

Seeing Liu Bi's embarrassed look, Wu Daozi laughed.

The night breeze blows, carrying the gentle fragrance of flowers.

Under the bright moonlight, the two of them sat in the courtyard and chatted. They had nothing to do with cultivation, but mostly secrets about the world of immortality.

There was a little girl hiding in the kitchen, listening to the noise in the courtyard with her ears straightened, and observing quietly in the dark.

At this moment, time flows quietly, and everything is so beautiful.
