Cultivate with an African God

Mu Xinghe felt that Yan Que's breathing became more and more rapid, and it was accompanied by painful groans from time to time. He finally couldn't help taking a look, only to see that Yan Que's dust whisk was almost damaged, he was in a mess, his feet were weak, and he could hardly support himself. He was about to fall to the ground at any moment, but he was still standing, supporting his body with a wooden sword in one hand, and flicking the dust whisk with the other hand to activate magic spells to block the incoming enemy.

He was still gritting his teeth and struggling to support himself. There were knocked down monks scattered all over the ground, but now it was just a balance of power after all.What's more, they must have reinforcements.

"The law is in Wushe, and the hour is in Xu."

Mu Xinghe took a deep breath and stared at the road ahead.

The road ahead is night and stars.

The faint moonlight fell, and he stood on his own shadow, and walked quickly to the box in the middle.

When he took the last step, a sudden change occurred!

The stars on the ground moved rapidly without his control, and then the stars dimmed, and the night sky on the ground disappeared.

The aura shattered like an invisible shell, and in the violent surge, a white bead with an ivory texture appeared at his feet.

He picked up the bead, he felt cool in his hand, and his mind was peaceful, he knew this extraordinary thing, but he had no time to think about it, put away the bead, and reached out to get the box in front of him.

When he bent down, he heard the sound of the people behind him being knocked down to the ground. He picked up the box on the ground and was about to pull Yan Que up, but the moment his fingers touched the box, the energy suddenly started to become intense. It fluctuated, and then the power rolled around the box as the center. He almost couldn't stand stably, and barely managed to stand upright.

But it was obviously not him who was most affected. Yan Que, who was lying on the ground, was almost overturned, but seemed to be blocked by some invisible object and rolled back.The monks who were blocked by Yan Que from the steps were taken down by the air waves, and disappeared from Mu Xinghe's sight. Only a few continuous muffled sounds and farther and farther away cries of pain could be faintly heard.

Mu Xinghe heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Shen Xiu, who was completely motionless just now, and now he is looking down the stairs absent-mindedly as if nothing happened.Mu Xinghe weighed the box in his hand, there was no sound inside, it seemed to be just a heavy iron box.Mu Xinghe didn't even think about it, he pulled Yan Que up and threw the wooden box into his arms.

"It should be what you're looking for."

Yan Que was stunned, said thank you, and was about to receive it in his sleeve.

But at this time, the box floated out of his hand, fell to the ground, and opened slowly.Countless smoke and dust rolled out of the box, and the smoke and dust slowly condensed into a hazy human shape.

The man was dressed in a green robe, his appearance was very vague, and he could only vaguely perceive that he was a very elegant appearance, but he was born with this unclear shadow, which made people think that this person should be very good-looking and could also be called Very comfortable man.

When you see him, you will want to make tea, listen to the snow, look at the moon, and you will want to listen to the rain beating the residual lotus on a small boat. You come with the rain, covered in star frost, and sigh "Meeting in half a lifetime, every time it rains "boat", he knocked on the chess pieces and chanted with a smile, "Can you have a drink?" No matter how dark the wind and rain outside, there is always green ant freshly roasted wine and a small red clay stove in his place.

Time seems to always be very slow around him, whether it is killing or suffering, it seems that it will never be related to you.

He was a man who was strange enough that even an afterimage could never be forgotten.

Mu Xinghe was stunned, but found that those monks had quietly approached him amidst the accident, but it was difficult to go further because of the barrier, and they were also staring at the man firmly at this moment.

The man's figure was hazy, and he didn't look at them, but his voice carried a leisurely smile.

"The moon is between the rocks, the deer is on the stream. The ape stays in the white clouds, and the bear rises among the leaves. At that time and that place, we will meet you for a while."

His voice was clear and warm, and a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and the figure of the man disappeared with the wind.

Everyone watched the man appear and disappear from the iron box. The iron box was empty, and there was no treasure that others had expected. Yan Que reacted quickly, pulled Mu Xinghe, and walked quickly to the window.He didn't use much strength, but Mu Xinghe quickly realized it, put his hands together, and jumped off the stupa from the window.

The pagoda is extremely high, but they are already such a cultivation base, so this height is naturally nothing.

The three of them evaded all the way and had exited the abandoned city.As night fell, many people left the abandoned city. They mixed in and managed to escape.

When you have time to breathe, the first thing to do is to summarize the information you just got.

"Medicines, small magic weapons, refining materials, natural and earthly treasures, make a fortune," Mu Xinghe praised while checking his luggage, "I hope it's not fake..."

"Little brother, what did you get from breaking the formation just now?" Yan Que asked suddenly.

"This," Mu Xinghe said casually, "I don't know, some of the things you have here are not recorded here, I just think they can cleanse the heart and break the filth - the things that can be here are not bad at all."

Yan was silent for a moment, only to see his eyelashes fluttering a few times, and then he replied, "It should be the Nine Turns Breaking the Obscenity and Delusion Heart Pill, it is said that it is left by Master Wu, and it is the thing that illuminates the state of mind and breaks the demons of the heart. "

Mu Xinghe didn't pay attention to his companion's strange behavior, but noticed other information, and asked, "Oh, is Master Liaowu the owner of that pagoda? Or is it the person who appeared in the box at the back?"

"Although I'm not very clear, but the pagoda should have something to do with him." Yan Que raised his head and looked up at the sky, which was darkened, and a few gray crows flew by. He can make villains abandon evil and do good. He once stood on the bank of the river, defeated the foe and defeated the enemy, and once stood alone in the Buddhist pagoda. One person and one bell shocked the world. He... But it should not be the later one, because I have never heard of it I told you that this master is not bald."

The phantom in the box was indeed not bald.

Mu Xinghe thought for a while, then laughed, and then turned his head to look at Shen Xiu who was leaning against the wall. Shen Xiu was dragged by him just now, there was no abnormal expression on his face, but Mu Xinghe himself was secretly happy.He went to talk again: "The boss is also very proficient in rhythm."

Shen Xiu glanced at him, and said casually: "I have learned all the rituals, music, archery, royals, books, and numbers."

Yan Que looked at Shen Xiu when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "A gentleman with six skills, a master's background must be good."

"I have nothing to do when I'm young, I'm just interested." Shen Xiu replied lightly.

Yan did not notice any difference, but Mu Xinghe noticed something different.He had heard about Shen Xiu's background from the seniors of the sect earlier, just as Yan Que said, it was very good.But he came to Yunfu early, and these skills are still preserved in him, so it is not the category of "you have nothing to do when you are young".

It's just that Shen Xiu was so perfunctory, which meant that he didn't want to talk about it, so Mu Xinghe didn't pursue it further, but returned to the original topic: "Big brother, what happened to that master?"

"Of course he's dead," Yan Que propped his chin, looking a little listless, "Don't look at me with that 'Of course I know he's dead' look, he didn't die of old age, he was killed by the city lord, Many, many years ago, before I was born, I heard that the city lord wanted something, the magic center of the pagoda? Some kind of magic weapon? I forgot, anyway, he didn’t give it, and then he didn’t beat the city lord, so he died. "

Mu Xinghe listened to this old story, and asked again: "After that, do you recognize the person in the box?"

"...I don't know, and I don't remember that there is such a person beside Master Wu," Yan Que pondered for a moment, as if he hesitated for a while, "What he said may be a reminder for our next step."

"However, the most important thing is that this hint has been known to many people——based on your understanding of the world, is this puzzle easy to guess?"

"I dare say, what I can't think of, other people can't think of it so easily," Yan Que has been a little tired since he escaped, but at this moment he finally lifted his spirits, "And there are many people in the city this night. Creatures that are more dangerous than daytime, many people rush out of the city at dusk, even if they have the strength to resist those creatures, they will not move around in such a dangerous city."

"We have time." Mu Xinghe concluded.

"Yeah, let me think about it..."

Yan Que was tired of talking, so he lit a fire with magic tricks, and leaned against the stone to rest.

When Mu Xinghe saw the fire, he was full of interest, and ran outside, saying that he wanted to grab something and roast it for fun.

Mu Xinghe was full of energy, but Shen Xiu hardly said a word. He had an air of alienation that no stranger should enter, which made the overly outstanding appearance have a very sense of distance.Even if such a person is injured, he may not entrust his safety to others, but he entrusts everything to that person who always looks very loose and talks like a fool, without any doubts.

He didn't know what it was like to be fully entrusted and needed, and now thinking about it, he was a little envious.

Seeing that Mu Xinghe's figure had already run away, Yan Que smiled unconsciously like a gust of wind, and said, "I never thought such a person would choose him."

However, Shen Xiu who was at the side seemed to know the direction of his words, and said indifferently: "He chose me."

The figure of that person was trapped in the night, and the flames of the magic technique gave his outline some warmth. He was looking into the distance, and it was not the cold and alienated that Yan Que was used to.

Yan Que tilted his head back, and the stone hit his head with a muffled sound.A little pain.

He once had a senior brother who didn't need anyone's temperament like that, so he walked alone and died alone.Before he died, he never chose anyone for help, and of course he would not choose Yan Que.

——So what if he chooses someone else first?

Mu Xinghe caught an unknown monster with the head of a rabbit and the body of a fox, and he was excitedly preparing to start the barbecue.He originally thought that Yan Que would play with him, but he didn't want Yan Que to look preoccupied.But when his eyes came into contact with Yan Que, Yan Que stood up and said, "Where did it come from? I'll catch one too."

Mu Xinghe pointed out the location for him, and he passed by shaking his whisk.

Mu Xinghe looked at Shen Xiu, he was handling the flesh with his hands, while talking to him: "Will the power be in that treasure?"

Shen Xiu closed her eyes, raised her eyes when she heard the words, and replied, "Not necessarily."

Mu Xinghe smiled and said, "Then this time, I really came here on vacation, so I don't have a clue." He said he was on vacation, and he grilled the monster meat while humming.

If you listen carefully, you can see that the singing is a mess like "Come on, I have a system".

Shen Xiu listened for a while, then turned around and took a few steps away from him.

Mu Xinghe's mind is full of thoughts, from the way of heaven to the system, from treasures to puzzles, thinking about it, the meat has been roasted until it is sizzling, the skin is golden, the meat is oozing out along the texture of the meat, and the rich aroma Also along with this enthusiasm transpired up.

Mu Xinghe glanced aside unconsciously, Shen Xiu was not meditating, but broke a leaf and blew it casually.His fingers are jade white, with slightly protruding knuckles. Maybe the palms of his hands will be a little callused from holding the sword for a long time, but from this point of view, they are flawless hands that seem to be used to being pampered.Mu Xinghe looked at it for a while, and his heart skipped a beat.

——When he was bored, he peeked at Zhong Zijin's tricks. One of them said that grabbing a man's stomach is grabbing a man's heart. Although Mu Xinghe himself disagreed, it was undoubtedly a good time to implement it.

Afraid of being discovered, Mu Xinghe turned his head guiltily, turned the dagger in his hand, cut off some pieces of meat, and hung them on wooden sticks.

He raised his hand to greet Shen Xiu, with fire in his eyes: "Boss, come and try? I'm waiting for you to have a taste of my decades of craftsmanship!"

Shen Xiu put down the leaf in her hand, stared at him for a moment, but didn't react much other than that.

Mu Xinghe put down his hands resentfully.

——Just because the boss uses such an approachable musical instrument, you can't think that the boss is in the same category as a vulgar person like yourself. This person has learned the six arts of a gentleman since he was a child, so it is impossible to play barbecue games with him.

Mu Xinghe was still thinking with his head down, but he heard the sound of footsteps, and then there was a very familiar scent of bitter cold. When he turned his head, he saw Shen Xiu sitting down beside him. His eyes were bright and shining with a warm firelight.

"give me."

Mu Xinghe smiled unconsciously: "You will definitely be impressed by the culinary skills of this little master of China!"

Shen Xiu ignored his nonsense, took over and observed for a while, and then tried to bite into his mouth.

Mu Xinghe observed his movements with a smile, but Shen Xiu frowned after taking a bite, and after swallowing, commented: "It's unpalatable."

"It's impossible!" Mu Xinghe was full of doubts, he took a sip himself, and immediately spat out.

It smells delicious, but there is a strange smell like an abyss ditch in the entrance. Even if a cultivator of their level can purify himself, it is because of this terrible smell that he has some psychological shadows.

Mu Xinghe paused for a while, then said in a deep voice, "It's the meat that lied to me, it's the meat."

"Mm." Shen Xiu replied with a light smile.

Mu Xinghe didn't want to experience this overly obvious narrow-minded smile, so he decided to change the subject, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, "Boss, have you never tried eating this kind of thing?"

Shen Xiu paused, and said: "No." He also thought about it for a moment: "When I was young, my food was handled by many people. After I arrived in Yunfu and left Yunfu, I didn't have any need for food."

"It's different," Mu Xinghe said, "although I'm not hungry, but it's delicious. Even if it's not delicious, isn't this kind of country leisurely fun? Let me tell you, in fact, I also It doesn't grow in the fields—"

The more Mu Xinghe talked, the happier he became, but he suddenly stopped and pointed at Shen Xiu: "Ah, face."

Shen Xiu was startled, raised her hand, but found nothing.Mu Xinghe corrected: "No, this side." Shen Xiu moved his hand, but still couldn't make a point, so Mu Xinghe had to put down the meat on his hand, leaned over, raised his hand to scrape off the flesh stains on his face, and endured. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's this one."

Shen Xiu was startled, and suddenly turned her head away, covering the lower half of her face with her palms, and didn't look at him again.

At this time, Mu Xinghe belatedly realized that the temperature he was exposed to just now was not the coolness he was accustomed to, it might be the roasting of the fire, or it might be something else.

His heart was beating so loudly, it was as if the little sorrel he had played with when he was a child was suddenly full of bulging fruit when it was ripe.When it was touched a little, it exploded vigorously, and the seeds all over the ground jumped around in a mess.His heart is full of emotions that he can't grasp, but his body is not too controlled by his complicated emotions, but he is closer, and his voice is lower unconsciously, shouting in a series of voices: "Big brother Boss-"

"are you--"

Now he seems to only be left with instinctive eagerness, he doesn't know what he wants to say, and he hasn't fully uttered the words, but he hears Yaoyao laugh: "You are so roasted, I can smell the fragrance ten miles away."

Mu Xinghe suddenly stopped his movements, only to feel his heartbeat suddenly hit the ground, and the fire seemed to be much stronger.Yan Que grabbed a bird-like thing and looked at him suspiciously: "What's the matter with you, don't you even call me if you have good things?"

Mu Xinghe was silent for a moment, then rubbed his face, and said, "Okay, let me give you a taste of my decades-old craftsmanship." Then he solemnly handed the cut meat to him, Yan did not doubt it. With him, it was natural to take over.

After a moment.

"You're making fun of me!" Yan Que shouted.

As the chief culprit, Mu Xinghe snorted, as if he was still very righteous.

The author has something to say:

"Meeting in half a lifetime, every time the boat returns to the rain" from Jian Jie's "April Liebo": Why are you here?

Mingming locked you in the dream land, scripted the sun and moon, Fendai Chunqiu, and allowed you to write poems in your spare time, but you flew over Guanling, and before it was too late, you came to me and said: "I have been wandering for half my life, and it rains every time. Return to the boat."
