[Urban Spirituality] Heaven's Way

The affairs of the Bai family are their family affairs after all. Zuo Mu considered that Qingxuan had promised to take care of his children after all. In order not to let Qingxuan worry about it and affect Qingxuan's practice, Zuo Mu set up a formation and changed the feng shui of the Bai family. , This will at least ensure that the Bai family will have enough food and clothing in the future and will not encounter major disturbances. Zuo Mu feels that he is so benevolent and righteous, and the rest is something that the Bai family has to deal with themselves, and it has nothing to do with Zuo Mu or Qingxuan.

So they bid farewell to the Bai family and found a nearby star hotel to stay.

In the evening, Wan Lai Wu Sheng, Zuo Mu, Xiao Shi and others arrived at the branch of Zhongtiao Mountain near Hexi Village, and began to search for the root cause of the abnormality of the villagers in Hexi Village. The smell was the purest when I was in the middle of the night. After smelling it for a long time, Xiaoshi finally smelled something strange by a mountain stream. Xiaoshi was very excited because this smell was exactly the smell of Qiongqi's body. Not only that, after searching carefully, they found it in a cave The footprints left by Qiongqi were found here.

Xiaoshi is very happy, because this at least proves that Qiongqi and him are in the same world. Although they have never met before, as long as Qiongqi is in this world, they will always meet each other for a long time.

This also indirectly explains why accidents have occurred frequently in Hexi Village in recent days. As the four ancient beasts, Qiongqi is the standard way to suppress good and promote evil. Zuo Mu and his party have mana and stay here for a relatively short time, so The villagers of Hexi Village drank the stream tainted with Qiongqi's smell, and the most evil thoughts aroused in their hearts. Zuo Mu guessed that the Snow Mountain Girl he met at first was also because he stayed here for too long. Long, he was contaminated with Qiongqi's smell, that's why he lost his mind and found the root cause. Zuo Mu used three water purification talismans and practiced for a day and a night to completely eliminate the Qiongqi smell here.

Qiongqi just passed by here to drink a sip of water, so Zuo Mu had to put in so much effort, what would happen if Qiongqi himself?

What about the real mana of Taotie, who is also known as a fierce beast like Qiongqi?

Everyone only sees Zuo Mu casting spells on weekdays, and thinks that Zuo Mu is unfathomable. Snacks are just incidental. It seems that they rarely see Snacks casting spells. Qingxuan, who had been with them for a long time, had the illusion that Xiaoshi was not as good as Zuo Mu. At this moment, everyone felt a sense of trance. It turned out that the top master was always by his side, but he was pretending to be a super waste.

Looks really kill people.

Xiao Shi checked his pockets, raised his head triumphantly, and said to the unbelievable three people, "You all have no vision, Zuo Mu lived under my protection for the first 200 years, otherwise he Don’t eat ghosts long ago.”

Qingxuan swallowed hard, and then turned his gaze to Zuo Mu. He absolutely did not believe that his master uncle needed to be protected by the unreliable senior Xiaoshi. Dumplings and Chengzi also stared wide-eyed, but the two Doudings paid attention. The point is not who protects whom, but how old brother Zuo Mu is, more than 200 years old, no wonder Grandpa Qingxuan called Brother Zuo Mu Shishuzu, brother Zuo Mu is really old... Zuo Mu glanced at it He glanced at Xiao Shi who was full of spring breeze, and then looked at the petrified old and two children. For some reason, seeing their surprised expressions, he was inexplicably happy. Could it be that in their hearts, the image of himself as an extraterrestrial expert is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zuo Mu smiled, then nodded under Xiao Shi's smug eyes, and said to the three people with some nostalgia: "When I was cultivating immortals, ghosts were not as weak as they are now, and most of them were very strong, but it is not ruled out. I was weak at that time... At that time, I was very afraid of ghosts, and I would cry when I saw big monsters..."

Zuo Mu said that his voice was getting smaller and smaller, and he suddenly remembered himself a long time ago. At that time, he had not cultivated to become a fairy, and he followed someone to the underworld for the first time. The look of sticking his tongue was quite scary. At that time, Zuo Mu couldn't help looking at Xiaoshi. At that time, Xiaoshi was not like what he is now. He was so domineering and arrogant that he bullied him every day.

Zuo Mu remembered that his cooking skills were not so good before, and he didn't know how to cook so many dishes, all for this guy beside him.

As for him, he gradually changed the weird address of "this seat", and admitted that he named him "Xiaoshi" as a prank, and they went through nearly a thousand years like this.

Those memories will make the heart extremely soft, and also make people extremely strong. No matter what he becomes, there is such a person by his side who will accompany you to change, guard you forever, and be with you Side by side together, through the lonely years together.

That's good, really good.

Qingxuan Dumpling Orange, the old and the young look at Zuo Mu's soft face, and then look at Xiao Shi's happy face. From the outside, the two people are completely incompatible. They look equally good, but their temperaments are completely different. The two people have very different methods of handling things, but for some reason they stand together, they are so harmonious that no one can get in.

This should be a tacit understanding. I don't know how many years the tacit understanding has been formed. It is love, friendship, and family affection. Maybe the two of them don't know it.

Qingxuan was suddenly very envious. He looked at the two little ghosts who were less than his knees. Uncle Master and Senior Xiaoshi put these two Douding together, maybe it was to let them go through the difficult time hand in hand. Qingxuan suddenly missed himself very much. Those old friends, as the years passed, those friends of his got sick and died, and there were very few of them still alive in the world.

Qingxuan suddenly wants to visit old friends one by one, don't wait for them to really disappear, after crossing Naihe Bridge, he will regret it.

So Qingxuan tidied up his clothes, and bid farewell to Zuo Mu and his party under the stars at night, "Uncle Master, this disciple suddenly wants to visit an old friend from the past, so I can't leave with Uncle Master, I may have to go first."

Zuo Mu looked at Qingxuan and nodded. Qingxuan himself didn't know that his name was already on the roster of earth immortals, and he could be in the immortal class only after his Yangshou was over. The good friends from the past naturally parted ways. This is Zuo Mu's most regrettable thing. He has been looking for a disciple who can pass on the mantle, but for nearly a thousand years, he has only Qingxuan. Friends with the same aptitude to accompany him, I only hope that after Qingxuan enters the Earth Immortal in the future, he can find like-minded friends. If not, it will be a long journey of life alone, wouldn't it be too lonely?

"Go, this is for you, maybe you will need it." Zuo Mu took out a bottle of elixir from the Qiankun bag, "This medicine can't stop the book of life and death in the Palace of the Underworld, but it can cure diseases. Since it's yours Friends, be generous and help them enjoy their old age."

Qingxuan was startled, bowed down respectfully, his eyes were red, his nose was a little sore, "Thank you, Master Uncle." Those old friends who were plagued by illness, with the elixir of Master Uncle, can naturally enjoy their old age peacefully. This gift, It's really important.

Qingxuan has left, and their trip to Shanxi should be over, but there are still some tails that have not been dealt with.

Because of the Anti-Japanese War in the past, countless undead were left behind in the area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain. With the victory of the war, some undead have re-entered the path of reincarnation, while others died horribly, and their resentment could not dissipate for a long time. Such undead gather around Zhongtiao Mountain, which affects the Fengshui of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the blessed area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain has a little evil spirit. These undead are all martyrs, and they all sacrificed to protect the country. Zuo Mu thinks it should be Save these people.

After chanting the mantra for three days and three nights, Zuo Mu couldn't remember how many undead souls he had saved. Finally, the air in Zhongtiao Mountain changed. The flowing aura, except for those who like evil spirits and don’t like the taste, everyone feels that the air here is fresh. Tourists who come here attribute the change in the air in Zhongtiao Mountain to the snow.

During the few days he stayed, whether it was intentional or not, Zuo Mu still knew some things about the Bai family. For example, Bai Shiyan planned to give birth to a child and raise the child alone. For example, Ou Xun knelt in front of Bai Shiyan and begged for forgiveness. For a long time, it didn't matter whether they reconciled or separated. The important thing was that the child was fine and safe. He didn't lose his life because of his mother's calculations. He grew strong in his mother's womb, waiting The day of the newborn.

The reason why Zuo Mu knew this was due to the inexplicable attention of the two little ghosts, Jiaozi and Chengzi, to Bai Shiyan. It is not so much the attention to Bai Shiyan, but the attention to the baby in Bai Shiyan's belly. There are no more baby spirits like them in the world.

Naturally, Zuo Mu would not tell the two of them that in this world, thousands of baby spirits are born every day. This is an era of openness and an era of drug flooding. There are innocent, formed children, knocked out by their helpless mothers.

Those women who could not afford to raise their children because they were abandoned, or the girls who secretly ate the forbidden fruit to have an abortion, in fact, they are not wrong. Tragedy like Hua Yueru, in a dark corner, in a place that no one knows , who can guarantee that there is only one Hua Yueru in this world?

On the day of leaving Shanxi, it snowed lightly, but this time the light snow was not brought by Zuo Mu, it fell naturally.

Pedestrians on the street either stretched out their hands, or looked up at the sky. Everyone hoped that this would also be a snowball fight. Two Douding, Zuo Mu and Xiaoshi were holding one each. When they came to Shandong At that time, there was no snow, and Shandong was the same as Shanxi, with cars coming and going, people buzzing, and everyone had a smile on their face, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and everyone was looking for new year’s goods.

Seeing this, Zuo Mu couldn't help feeling a little emotional, he turned to Xiao Shi and said, "Another year is about to pass."

Xiao Shi nodded, "Do you still remember how many years we have been together?"

Zuo Mu shook his head, "I can't remember clearly, you know?"

Xiao Shi smiled, "I can't remember clearly, but I know that next year, I will still be by your side to accompany you, next year, next year...it's all the same."

Qiongqi, the four fierce beasts in ancient times, suppressing good and promoting evil, the size of a cow, the appearance of a tiger, the fur of a hedgehog, and wings, they live by eating people

End of this volume

The author has something to say: Fanwai

Zuo Mu knew that he was different from other children since he was a child.

His eyes can always see some strange things. His mother died early, and it was his father who brought him up all the time. Later, he told his father about it. His father was so scared that he closed the door and made repeated orders. He was not allowed to tell others about his eyes. His father told him that their ancestors gave birth to a very powerful god named Zuo Ci. This situation would happen every few generations of the Zuo family.

However, after Zuo Ci, the Zuo family never produced any other gods. Not only did they never produce gods, but because of various reasons, their offspring withered. , the Zuo family became a single pass.

Perhaps the ancestors once produced immortals, and the Zuo family has always hoped to produce another immortal. Zuo Mu's father is actually proud. He found all the spells and books that he could find at home, and put them all on the left. Mu there, chanting to Zuo Mu every day, hoping that Zuo Mu can be ranked in the immortal class in the future, not only that, but Zuo Mu's father also spent all the savings in the family, buying such books for Zuo Mu, as long as they are about seeking immortality. No matter it is real or fake, they all bought it with money, and the family became poorer and poorer. In the end, Zuo Mu's father died because he had no money to see a doctor.

When Zuo Mu's father died, Zuo Mu was just over six years old.

Zuo Mu doesn't like those ghost symbols at all, he prefers what his father does, the cook.

Zuo Mu found a lot of leftover recipes from his family, which are said to have been handed down from his ancestors. Zuo Mu’s father didn’t succeed in cooking them, or they didn’t cook them particularly well. She couldn't sit still anymore, no matter how ordinary the dishes are, after Zuo Mu's hands, they are delicious in the world, so everyone soon knew that the children of Zuo's family have good skills, and they cook very well.

Cooking well is also a skill. Zuo Mu gradually became famous, and the local gentry's family would invite him to a banquet. He gave a little advice, and it was always a good dish.

Those cooks who looked down on Zuo Mu at first were blessed later, this kid is a child prodigy.

The prodigy of cooking.

Everyone felt that when Zuo Mu grew up, he must be an imperial cook, cooking for the emperor and empress.

Under the guidance of those elders in the village, Zuo Mu's original ideal was to be an imperial cook. With his own skills, one day he would cook for the women in the palace and the emperor.

Being the emperor's cook, Zuo Mu felt that his ideal was beckoning, and he was very satisfied.

But things always backfire, or go wrong.

The first time Zuo Mu told others what he saw, others thought he was crazy. There were many hands on the ground, and those hands stretched out and strangled people.

Zuo Mu disobeyed his father's instructions and told others the truth, but he was laughed at as a lunatic. No one believed him. Everyone in a village laughed at him, so everyone in a village died.

Not only the people in the village died, even he almost died.

However, he survived in the end, and the tattered ancient book at home saved him. Suddenly, he remembered the spell in the ancient book. He recited the spell, and all the hands that got out of the ground were blown up by him. flew.

At that time, Zuo Mu realized that it is dangerous to know only one skill, and the right way is for a person to develop in an all-round way and earnestly master a life-saving skill.

That was the first time Zuo Mu felt that being a cook was useless, but some people didn't think so, he thought Zuo Mu's skills were very good and powerful, and could feed him well.

It was a child younger than Zuo Mu, who spoke with his nostrils facing the sky, and called himself "this seat". He had a strange name, Taotie.

He is not a human, but a goblin who looks like a dog, but the goblin does not admit that he is a goblin, and Zuo Mu insists on calling him His Highness Taotie, the brave, invincible, invincible and invincible hand of the universe.

The long list of titles made Zuo Mu nearly starve for oxygen.

This Highness doesn't work, has a bad temper, eats Zuo Mu's food, drinks Zuo Mu's food, beats Zuo Mu at every turn, holds Zuo Mu down when he disagrees with him, Zuo Mu has a soft personality, He was also afraid that the monster would eat him, so he endured it. Later, he gradually figured out that this monster has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and he will not do anything to him at all.

Monsters are very small both in size and in body. They look cute, but they eat a lot. At that time, Zuo Mu didn't know the word "foodie", nor did he know the word "glutton". The little monster "Shishi" was later simply simplified into snacks.

Of course His Royal Highness Taotie, who is brave, invincible, invincible and invincible, was unwilling to be called such a soft and not domineering name. He fought for a long time, and even threatened Zuo Mu that if he didn't change his name, he would eat him, but at that time Zuo Mu had already seen Knowing the essence of His Royal Highness "Shishi", no matter what he was afraid of, Zuo Mu was determined not to change. At that time, Zuo Mu was actually only trying to get revenge on His Highness Gluttonous, who made him bully him every day.

At that time, His Highness Taotie hadn't realized that this soft name would accompany him for nearly a thousand years in the future, and he also didn't realize that he would be with this person who couldn't name, cooked deliciously, was soft and easy to bully. The young man will spend the long years of eternal life in the future.
