Chapter 126(1/2)
Ye Wenqiu shook his head and sighed regretfully: "You don't know anything about this. Before Master passed away, he left a magic weapon for our brothers, which contained his sword intent and teachings. However, our magic weapon was taken away by Junior Brother Jiang and turned into a part of the mountain protection formation, and he could never take it back."
Du Heng:??Is it so mean for his senior brother?
Ye Wenqiu said sadly: "I can't hear the teachings left to us by Master. Now I want to hear Master's voice and sense Master's sword intent, so I can only get Junior Brother Jiang's seven-star lotus platform. Now I'm stuck in the end of my body. Recently, when I dreamed of Master's voice, appearance and smile. I wonder if Master left something for me, so I really want to hear Master's voice."
Du Heng shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, since that magic weapon is so important to you brothers, I can't get involved." If he handed Jiang Shangzhou's magic weapon to Ye Wenqiu, Jiang Shangzhou thought he had agreed to him... the consequences were unimaginable.
Ye Wenqiu smiled calmly, and he took out a bright yellow talisman paper from his sleeve: "You don't need to take away the magic weapon, you just need to ignite this talisman paper when you see the magic weapon."
Du Heng had a very headache: "This...is not very good."
I always feel that if he takes the talisman paper, it will be very troublesome. Besides, how could he take out the lotus platform with such a treasure in Jiang Shangzhou? And he still said that Ye Wenqiu is Jiang Shangzhou's senior brother, why didn't he directly tell Jiang Shangzhou this kind of thing?
Ye Wenqiu said softly: "Do you think I didn't ask him before? But he refused to show me the lotus platform no matter what he said. I even thought about whether the sword intent left by Master Luntai was broken. He was afraid that we would blame him and dared not take it out. So I wanted to see the lotus platform with my own eyes. If it was really broken, I would have no thoughts."
Ye Wenqiu's eyes were filled with nostalgia, and Du Heng softened his heart: "You won't fight with Jiang Shangzhou because of Liantai, are you?"
Ye Wenqiu shook his head: "He is my junior brother. Even if I miss Master, I will not have a dispute with him because of a magic weapon. If the lotus platform is really damaged, I have nothing to say."
Du Heng thought for a while and then reached out and put the talisman paper in his sleeve: "That's OK. But you have to promise me that you must not make the brothers disagree with each other because of a magic weapon."
Ye Wenqiu smiled and nodded. He looked at Du Heng quietly and raised his hand: "Ye Wenqiu swears to the Heavenly Dao, just wanting to look at the lotus platform and listen to the voice of his master."
Du Heng put the talisman paper in his sleeve: "Okay, if Jiang Shangzhou takes me to the viewing device in the future, I will ignite the talisman paper. But if he doesn't take me to see, I have no choice."
Ye Wenqiu said, "If he didn't take you to see, then you can keep this talisman paper. If you are in danger in the future, as long as it is not too far apart, I will help you."
Du Heng was delighted. Isn’t this a summoning talisman that can summon the late-stage monks in the body? It’s great! Although he felt that there was nothing to do.
Ye Wenqiu said while eating the small fish. After a while, he ate all the small fish. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Du Heng: "I'll ask fellow Taoist Du for this."
Du Heng was flattered: "Elder Ye is so serious."
After Ye Wenqiu left, Du Heng was still a little confused. When Xuan Yu came in with a storage bag of fish and shrimps, Du Heng was empty and looked confused.
Xuan Yu waved his hand in front of him: "Du Heng? What's wrong?"
Du Heng came to his senses and told Xuan Yu that Ye Wenqiu came to find him. After that, he took out the bright yellow talisman paper and showed it to Xuan Yu: "Xiaoyu, I wonder if I am troublesome?"
Xuan Yu sensed it: "This is a kind of messaging talisman, which is very fast. Please keep it for now. If Ye Wenqiu really takes you to see the lotus platform, you will ignite the talisman paper. This is a matter between their fellow brothers. Even if they really have any dirty things, they will not be involved in you. Besides, Ye Wenqiu comes to ask you as the Supreme Elder, and you can't refuse."
Du Heng smiled bitterly: "It's so troublesome. I never thought I would be so charming."
He thought he was the most ordinary person, but he didn't expect that he could get the green eyes of one or two monks. Could it be that the Taoist ancestor saw him so pitiful. He was single for more than 20 years when he was in his hometown, and now he was suddenly letting him enjoy the blessings of all people?
After thinking about it, Du Heng despised himself. If you have this time to think about it, it would be better to cook well.
After lunch, Du Heng and Xuan Yuliang went to the big pit next to Shenzao Peak to dig Jerusalem artichoke. Jerusalem artichoke is a plant that will grow irregular chunks. Du Heng's hometown also called it Jerusalem artichoke and Japanese ginger. This thing rises particularly well on the sand. The growing chunks are used to pickle pickles.
It was a pure surprise to discover Jerusalem artichoke. Du Heng heard from Tai Shuhong that there were many pools under the corridor. He and Xuan Yuliang went there later. He originally wanted to find some water chestnuts to come back to eat, but he didn't expect that he couldn't find them, but he found some scattered Jerusalem artichoke.
He dug up these ermushrooms and made them into pickles. Later, when Tai Shuhong came, he told him that there were many such plants growing beside the big pit west of Shenzao Peak.
The sun is sunny today, so I can dig it back and make pickles.
After two incense sticks from Shenxiu Peak, the two of them came to the next pit. A few days ago, the mountain protection array in Shenxu Palace was broken, and the sudden drop in temperature caused many spiritual plants to freeze. When Du Heng and his friends saw Jerusalem artichoke, even the pieces of Jerusalem artichoke spread for more than ten miles. The poles of these Jerusalem artichoke are different in thickness, length, and the leaves and yellow flowers on them are already wilted.
Du Heng pulled a genus artichoke plant and said worriedly: "I don't know if the genus artichoke here has grown blocks."
Du Heng's concerns are justified. Before Shenxu Palace, there was a formation covering the four seasons like spring. In this atmosphere, the vegetation in the barrier is unknown spring, summer, autumn and winter. Take the water chestnuts next to Linghu for example. If outside the barrier, the water chestnut leaves have long frozen to death in this season, so where can you pick fresh water chestnuts?
The Jerusalem artichoke pole was opened with the sand below, and several white tubers of different sizes appeared on the Jerusalem artichoke pole and in the sand pit. The largest tubers were larger than Du Heng's slap, and the top was covered with fine mud and sand, and the smallest one was the size of Du Heng's thumb.
Du Heng was overjoyed: "Xiaoyu, is there any! You see, it's quite big."
Xuan Yu said: "Then let's pick up the big ones and go back to make pickles, and the small ones will stay here to let them grow slowly?" Du Heng nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."
Xuan Yu didn't speak, but Du Heng quickly understood the reason why he didn't speak because he saw Jiang Shangzhou.
Jiang Shangzhou and a white-haired, crane-haired and young-faced old man were walking over from the erotic artichoke. Du Heng knew the old man. That day, he walked from the corridor of the beast garden and saw the old man talking to him.
Since Jiang Shangzhou said to Xuan Yu that he wanted to chase him, Xuan Yu has been particularly serious when he saw Jiang Shangzhou. Now that he saw Jiang Shangzhou here, no wonder Xuan Yu hides. Du Heng's hand covered the back of Xuan Yu's hand, and his eyes narrowed. Xuan Yu's jealous look really moved him.
If it weren't for the wrong situation in this situation, he really wanted to lean over and kiss Xuan Yu's face.
The breeze rustled with the squirming cherry blossoms, and a green light was turning in Xuan Yu's eyes. At first glance, it seemed that his eyes turned green. Du Heng cooperated with Xuan Yu to hide his body behind the tombstone. The wide tombstone blocked Du Heng's vision. Du Heng could smell the smell of grass and trees from the wind and the smell of earth from the basket on Xuan Yu's back.
This feeling is very subtle. Du Heng thought of playing games with his companions in the fields when he was young. It was also such a sunny afternoon that he accidentally fell asleep. When he woke up, his friends all went home. He stood alone in the wilderness and felt that he had been abandoned by the whole world.
For some reason, Du Heng now had the feeling that way. He stared at his hand, which covered the back of Xuan Yu's mildly cold hand. Xuan Yu would usually hold him back, but this time Xuan Yu hid his breath and movements. He squatted beside Du Heng, like a stone sculpture.
Jiang Shangzhou's voice came: "Are you sure you want to do this? Even if you are a dog, you should have feelings for hundreds of years, let alone a living person. He has regarded you as his father over the years, and you really did it? Su Zhan, do you want to consider it again?"
It turned out that the white-haired old man on that day was Su Zhan, the elder of Shen Zaofeng. Didn’t he say that Su Zhan went out? When did he come back?
Su Zhan said: "I have raised him for so many years, just to today. I can't wait any longer. Xiaozhou, whether you look down on me or think I'm hopelessly bad. I just want him to survive, and there is nothing else to ask for. Even if the entire world of cultivation despises me, I don't care."
The two walked to the white tombstone, and Du Heng heard the rustling sounds of the two. Not long after, he smelled the smell of incense and candles. He thought that these two might be old friends in the tomb.
Jiang Shangzhou sighed: "It's been eight hundred years, I thought you had given up. Why can't you let yourself go?"
Su Zhan was silent for a while, and he said slowly: "You should know that when he was gone, I wouldn't want to live anymore. If this belief hadn't supported me, I would have been with him long ago."
Jiang Shangzhou said heavily: "If he is alive, he will definitely scold you for being unconscious."
Su Zhan said: "He is the most kind person. Even if he scolds me and I coaxes him, he will forgive me."
Jiang Shangzhou sighed: "I can't persuade you, just think it through. If Master Ye and his disciples find out about this, our immortal path will end here."
Su Zhan chuckled: "Don't you think it's too late to say this now? What we did behind our backs is enough for us to be expelled from the Immortal Sect hundreds of times."
The two of them were ambiguous. After saying a few words, they fell silent. When Su Zhan left, he said tombstone: "We will meet soon. Will you feel that I am old at that time?"
After the two left for a long time, Xuan Yu moved again. When he turned to look at Du Heng, he saw that Du Heng had already sat on the ground. He held his shoulders and leaned against the tombstone, and looked particularly lonely.
Xuan Yu reached out and touched Du Heng's hair: "How are you?"
Du Heng recovered from his senses and he forced a smile: "It's okay."
He always felt that he had heard something amazing, and that he could make the elders of a sect say something like that. What were they plotting against?
After Xuan Yu's spiritual energy circulated in Du Heng's body for a while, he pulled Du Heng up from the ground: "These two people have hidden their whereabouts. If my cultivation level was not higher than theirs, I wouldn't have found them."
Du Heng was right, Shenxu Palace is full of people everywhere. Just do whatever the disciples of the sect want to do, so why should they hide their whereabouts? It was this little caution that Xuan Yu discovered something wrong.
The two walked towards the white tombstone. Two white candles were lit in front of the tombstone, and three incense sticks were lit in front of the incense burner among the white candles. The blue smoke rose up. Through the blue smoke, Du Heng saw the words on the tombstone clearly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
The formation of Shenxu Palace is very good. The world in the formation is as warm as spring. Today's wind and sunshine are bright, but Du Heng feels a chill rising from his heart and spreading his limbs quickly.
There are two lines of words written vertically on the tombstone, and the first line is written in large vermilion-colored characters: The signature of the tomb of the lover Tai Shuhong is: Su Zhan and Du Heng feel that he shouldn't have digged eryambola today. If he didn't dig eryambola, he wouldn't have discovered such a terrible thing. Su Zhan and Tai Shuhong are Taoist couples? And Tai Shuhong is still dead? What is the situation of Tai Shuhong in the Beast Garden? Who is Su Zhan going to resurrect? What are the unforgivable things that Jiang Shangzhou and Su Zhan want to do?
His mind was in a mess. After arriving at Yishen Hall, he couldn't calm down and cook no matter what.
After hearing Xuan Yu say this, Feng Gui chuckled and said, "It's not simple? I'll ask Tai Shuhong to come and ask, wouldn't you know?"
Jing Nan waved his hand: "No, don't disturb Tai Shuhong before you figure it out. Tai Shuhong is Su Zhan's subordinate. The relationship between these two is not clear. You can take care of the things you do in the feather tribe."
Du Heng was absent-mindedly cutting the vegetables, his face full of worries. If he had been before, he could have asked Jiang Shangzhou, but now Jiang Shangzhou is involved in this matter, and his mind is tied to a knot for a moment.
Jing Nan was still reliable at the critical moment: "It's okay, let's investigate slowly. Su Zhan is an elder of the sect, and there will definitely be monks who know his gossip. Even if he controls the monks in this sect, he can't stop the other monks."
Xuan Yu frowned: "You want to go to another sect to inquire about this?"
Jing Nan spread his hands: "What am I going to do in other sects? The Shenxu Palace is about to hold a meeting of Ten Thousand Sects. Cultivators from other sects have arrived one after another these days. There will always be some people who know some old things about Elder Su, right?"
Feng Gui nodded: "Well, a good idea. In this way, I asked Xiaoxiao to go to the Beast Garden more recently to be with Tai Shuhong, and maybe I can find out some information."
Hearing Xiaoxiao's name, Du Heng suddenly came to his senses: "Is it not right? Xiaoxiao has not transformed. What if something unexpected happens?"
Feng Gui said calmly: "Don't worry, Feng Lin is still very reliable at critical moments. Tai Shuhong is a good seedling. If this really involves him, it will also cause me a headache."
Du Heng was puzzled: "What does Tai Shuhong have to do with you?"
Speaking of which, since Tai Shuhong appeared, Feng Gui was in a good mood. He not only allowed Xiaoxiao to run to the beast garden frequently, but also asked Tai Shuhong to have a meal every few days. Could it be that what happened between Feng Gui and Tai Shuhong?
Feng Gui said frankly: "Tai Shuhong is a good seedling. I want to train him to be the next demon god of the feather tribe. Is this reason sufficient?"
Du Heng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Ah!" When did it happen? He knew nothing!
Jing Nan said to Du Heng: "You are still in the mood to care about these things? Are you not going to prepare your supper?"
Du Heng came to his senses and looked at Shichen in surprise. Oh no, it was almost the hour of You, but he was not even ready for the dishes! Is it possible that the Yichen Hall will have a rest tonight?
However, Du Heng was also reliable at the critical moment. After thinking about it, he said, "I decided to eat sausage noodles and white porridge tonight. I happened to dig up the erotic artichoke today. I want to empty all the pickled side dishes."
Jing Nan gave his thumbs up: "It's worthy of being Du Heng. He can still come back to his senses when he hears so much news. But... what is the noodles that are dumb?"
Duran noodles are a special noodles in Du Heng’s hometown. They are different from ordinary noodles after blanching and cooking. The more you make the noodles, the better it tastes. When making them, they fry the toppings and stew them. The noodles made are golden, fresh and delicious. Du Heng can eat two big bowls every time!
After deciding to make the noodles, Du Heng was busy. He took out fresh soybean rice, chicken mushrooms, soybean soybeans, mushrooms, mountain paste meat and tender vegetables from the refrigerator. These dishes were piled on the table and occupied a full table.
Du Heng cut the meat of the mountain paste into evenly thick and thin slices. He marinated the slices with shredded ginger and white wine and placed them in a wooden basin. He cleaned the chicken mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms and tore them into small pieces. He placed them in a basket. After cleaning the soybean rice and small vegetables, he also placed them in a basket filter water.
Jing Nan poked the round thumb-sized bean bubbles on the table curiously, and he asked, "Why haven't you seen this before?"
Du Heng said: "The oil soybeans are made of tofu."
Jing Nan took one and pinched it in his hand. The bean batter was quite elastic. After being pinched by Jing Nan, it quickly bounced up. Jing Nan tore it open and looked at it. He saw that there were a lot of honeycomb-shaped tissue inside the bean batter. Its outer skin was golden and strong, but the inside was very soft.
Jing Nan threw the oily soybeans in his hand into his mouth and chewed it. A stream of oil mixed with the smell of bean skin was not very wonderful. He curled his lips in disgust and threw the bean soybeans: "Isn't it delicious?"
Du Heng said: "Don't underestimate this bean soap. I tried it for a long time before I made it!"
At first, he thought that he could fry the beans by using tofu, but he tried it with tofu for a long time. The tofu that was fried was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was not what he wanted at all.
