In order to keep Ye Wenqiu's formation, Su Zhan and the others were injured one by one. Although Ye Wenqiu had some luck in the success of the tribulation, this luck was only enough to help them recover the injuries they suffered from their souls. If they wanted to recover to their previous level of lively jumping, they would need to rest for a few days.

Last time when he went to Shenhua Peak, Du Heng saw Chef Chang stewing medicinal soup for Sect Master Yang. Thinking of his master who was weak in both qi and blood, Du Heng's small stove also stewed medicinal pigeons.

The pigeon soup in the casserole was gurgling. Du Heng opened the lid and looked at it. He saw that there were red dates and ginger slices floating in the golden pigeon soup, and there were two medicinal materials that Du Heng had never used before.

The first one is Nansha ginseng. This thing looks like angelica in a casserole, but the taste is different from angelica. There is also a medicinal material that looks like ginger slices but is larger and thinner than ginger slices. This is Yuzhu.

These two medicinal materials were put into Pigeon Soup after Du Heng consulted Jing Nan. If the taste of these two medicinal materials is not rinsed, it will not be difficult to swallow when stewed. After adding two medicinal materials to Pigeon Soup, it smells a little bit of medicinal smell and floats at the door of Yishentang and smells fragrant and warm.

Du Heng stirred a long spoon in the soup pot, and the pigeon and the ingredients mixed with the Chinese medicine inside turned into circles in the casserole. With a slight poke with chopsticks, the meat on the pigeon's chest was already soft and rotten. Du Heng placed the lid of the casserole next to it.

He greeted Jing Nan and the others: "Nan Nan, Master, come and eat pigeon soup."

Hearing Du Heng's call, the first person to rush over was indeed Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao held the big bowl and looked at Du Heng with a eager eye. Du Heng chuckled: "Don't worry, you are indispensable."

He has never been a stingy person. There are eight pigeons in this pot of pigeon soup, and Jing Nan and the others can get one.

Wen Qiong then walked out. After a few days of rest, her round face finally turned bloody. Thanks to Jing Nan's small hospitality, otherwise Wen Qiong's face would not have recovered so quickly.

Du Heng scooped a pigeon in everyone's bowl, and soon he heard the sound of drinking soup. Jing Nan pinched the pigeon's legs in his hand: "Du Heng, I haven't eaten roasted pigeons for a long time. Can I roast pigeons tonight?"

Du Heng didn't even raise his head: "If I remember correctly, we ate roasted pigeons last night." Jing Nan hummed: "The pigeons are delicious. No matter how soft and rotten the old pigeons are, they don't melt in their mouths like little pigeons."

Wen Qiong and Xiaoxiao never express their opinions when eating. The two of them drank soup and meat face to face. After a while, a handful of fine bones were piled next to the bowl.

Jing Nan looked around and said, "Well? Where is Xixi and Xiaoyu?" Du Heng said, "Tai Shuhong asked them to help repair the formation in the beast garden."

Jing Nan smiled and said, "Oh? What formation?" Du Heng said, "The formation used for Guan Ling Beast is in the beast garden. After you finish eating, let's go and have a look. Xiaoyu also said that there are many mushrooms in the beast garden, so we will pick up the mushrooms later."

Xiaoxiao looked up and said something to Du Heng, but Du Heng didn't understand. Jing Nan translated: "Xiaoxiao asked, can he bring more pigeon soup for Tai Shuhong."

Du Heng smiled: "I brought Tai Shuhong's share, you can send it there."

Wen Qiong said: "I'll stay for the housekeeper, you can go. By the way, Du Heng, you can come back early after a while, your senior brother and sister will come to see you." Du Heng said happily: "Really? Are they here today? Do I want to prepare something?"

Wen Qiong smiled and said, "There is nothing to prepare. If you are willing, make something delicious."

Du Heng's eyes narrowed: "Okay! I'll pick mushrooms and come back!" Du Heng smiled and showed his white teeth. He suddenly remembered a question: "By the way, master, how many senior brothers and sisters do I have?"

Wen Qiong said: "There are five, but your second and fifth brothers are now staying in the sect and not coming out. All the only ones who come here are your eldest brother, third and fourth brothers."

Du Heng touched his head: "Oh, do I want to prepare a meeting gift?" Wen Qiong smiled: "I have never heard that elders prepare a meeting gift for younger generations. Why did you turn the other way around?"

Jing Nan smiled and said to Du Heng: "Didn't you get the Eight Treasure Fruit last time? Why don't you take it out and honor your senior sisters?"

Du Heng slapped his head, yes, why didn’t he expect it? Since he is a senior sister, he must be a beauty lover. Is there anything more suitable than the Eight Treasure Fruit?!

Du Heng quickly took out the eight treasure fruit from the refrigerator, he picked up the largest one and placed it in front of Wen Qiong: "This is for the master."

Wen Qiong was happy: "Even I have a share?" Du Heng smiled and said: "Of course, Master must be the biggest one."

Wen Qiong did not refuse: "Okay, I'll take it first, my master." As she said that, she picked up the fruit and wiped it on the clothes, and then bit it down with a crack. The crispy and sweet Eight Treasure Fruit made Wen Qiong look fluttering. Du Heng paid attention and observed that Wen Qiong's skin had indeed become whiter after eating the Eight Treasure Fruit.

Yishen Hall is outside the beast garden, and Du Heng goes out like a visit. He takes a food box and a basket and sets off with Xiaoxiao and wontons. Wen Qiong looks at the long list of small animals behind Du Heng, and she almost laughs out loud: "This is too cute."

Jing Nan and Du Heng stepped into the gate of the Beast Garden together. They went to the largest Lingbao Garden in the Beast Garden. From the outside, this looked like an ordinary palace, but after walking in, you will find that there are several mountains hidden in the Lingbao Garden!

The mountains are lush, and birds and beasts are roaring from time to time in the forest. There are tall trees and rolling mountains everywhere. Du Heng estimated that this Lingbao Garden is larger than Shenzao Peak.

When I looked up, I could see a light blue barrier on top of my head. Jing Nan studied and said, "Oh, this barrier is quite powerful."

Du Heng had no research on barriers and formations, so he couldn't see anything. Jing Nan introduced: "There is such a big mountain hidden here, but we didn't see it outside. At first, I thought there was a trick outside the barrier, but when I walked in, I found that it was not a trick. This can't be considered a barrier, it should be another world hidden by the formation."

Du Heng turned his head in surprise: "Nan Nan, what are you talking about? What is another world?"

Jing Nan said: "Have you heard of mustard seed space?" Du Heng nodded: "Well, I have heard of it." Du Heng's portable cave is actually a mustard seed space, which can place such a large place in a warm jade.

Jing Nan said: "Beyond the Taixu Realm is the Chaos Sea, which is the origin of all things. If we regard the Taixu Realm where we are, as a transparent bubble, there will be a lot of space around the Taixu Realm. Some of them can merge with the Taixu Realm. High-level monks can use magic to find them and use them for their own use.

Du Heng smiled and said, "It's not just a meal, it's just a meal. I cooked a little medicinal pigeon and brought you one."

Tai Shuhong opened the food box and saw the delicious chicken soup in the bowl. He hesitated: "Do you have medicinal food?" Du Heng asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Don't you like the taste of Chinese medicine inside?"

After adding the ginseng and citrus, there will indeed be a little taste of medicinal materials, but it will not taste too bad. Maybe Tai Shuhong has a sensitive sense of smell, or he is not happy with some medicinal materials, so he hesitates, right?

Tai Shuhong quickly said, "No, no, I like it very much. It was just that when I was at Shenzao Peak, I saw the chef of the Zongchen Hall cooking medicinal food for Sect Master Yang. I think you cooked much better than him." Du Heng smiled: "I don't have much experience in cooking for the first time, please try it."

Tai Shuhong looked at Du Heng seriously: "Thank you for thinking about me, but can I leave this medicinal meal to Su Zhan? He was a little injured when he guarded the formation..."

When Du Heng heard Tai Shuhong's guilty words, he felt mixed feelings. Tai Shuhong looked cold, but in fact he was a person who knew how to be grateful and careful. When he saw the medicinal food, his reaction was not to eat it himself, but to leave it to Su Zhan to taste it.

On the other side, Su Zhan was so terrible. Tai Shuhong must not know that Su Zhan, whom he trusted, was trying to take away his body. If he knew, he would not know what he was feeling.

When he heard Tai Shuhong say this, what else can Du Heng say? He could only smile and say, "I have it in the kitchen. I will pack a portion for Elder Su to bring it with me later. You can eat it while it's hot." Tai Shuhong said embarrassedly, "thank you, thank you."

Jing Nan patted Tai Shuhong on the shoulder: "Don't be so arrogant. You are so good to Xiaoxiao. It's also worth eating a few pigeons."

Jing Nan said this. Since Xiaoxiao and Tai Shuhong met, Xiaoxiao’s favorite person has been vaguely transferred from Du Heng to Tai Shuhong. Since he arrived at Shenzao Peak, Xiaoxiao has to sleep with Tai Shuhong every night. Tai Shuhong has raised so many spirit beasts, but many spirit beasts feel like they see him, and only Xiaoxiao and him fall in love with him. The two of them sing and silence. Sometimes Du Heng wonders whether he understood Xiaoxiao’s words or didn’t understand?

After Du Heng and his friends followed Tai Shuhong to cross the two mountains, they saw a palace surrounded by mountains. The palace was so dilapidated that it seemed to have been damaged by something. Xuan Yu and Feng Gui held long shovels in their hands and were shoveling something in the square in front of the palace. Seeing Du Heng and the others coming, they stopped their movements.

Jing Nan said in a scattered manner: "I haven't seen you two shovel the ground for many years. Is the ground here very hard?"

Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, this is the ground of the murderous aura stone." Hearing the three words "killful aura stone", Du Heng looked down at the ground. To be honest, he didn't feel that there was murderous aura coming from the ground.

But the ground was really hard. Feng Gui dug two shovels, and the shovel was curled, and only a shallow ditch was shoveled out on the ground. Du Heng picked up the shoveled gravel and looked at it. He pinched it hard. It would be fine if the stone did not move at all, but his fingertips were cut by the stone. Du Heng looked at the stone in surprise. He didn't see the sharp edges on the stone, so why was it cut?

Moreover, with Du Heng's current arm strength, even jade could be easily crushed by him. However, when he pinched the stone so hard, the stone did not even have a crack.

Based on the principle of asking if you don’t understand, Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu: “Xiaoyu, what is a murderous stone?”

Xuan Yu opened the food box and brought out the three bowls of pigeon soup to Tai Shuhong and Feng Gui. He explained: "The murderous aura stone is a stone that can absorb spiritual energy. Ordinary stones will become easy to deal with when they come into contact with the spiritual energy of monks. Whether it is carving or polishing, it will become easy. However, the murderous aura stone is different. It is originally hard in texture and will become harder after encountering spiritual energy. It will store spiritual energy. If someone attacks this kind of stone, it will be injured by the spiritual energy stored in the stone."

Du Heng was shocked: "There is such a stone?" He opened his eyes.

Feng Gui said: "Murderful Stones are usually used to build prisons to detain extremely vicious criminals. I didn't expect that there would be such a large square of murderous Stones here."

Tai Shuhong explained: "The barrier of the Lingbao Garden is maintained by the formations in the square. A few days ago, the Supreme Elder passed the tribulation and I opened it here. I don't know if there are too many spirit beasts locked inside or what's wrong, but the formation is weak. In the past, this formation was all cultivated by Su Zhan, but Su Zhan was injured, so I wanted to help him. However, I don't know enough about the formation, so I can only ask for help from Yu Xuan and Xi Feng."

Xuan Yu said: "Actually, it's nothing. We just need to strengthen the formation engraved on the murderous stone. The main reason is that the formation has been wearing out over the years. Generally, such a large formation should be reinforced every ten years. Because of the murderous stone, the use time of this formation has been extended by hundreds of times, and it is usually only necessary to reinforce it once every two hundred years."

Du Heng understood that the so-called reinforcement formation is to drill deep into the lines on the murderous stone, and then apply a golden mineral. It is simple to say, but it is a bit difficult to do it. Feng Gui and the others worked hard for more than half a day before they repaired one-quarter of the formation.

Tai Shuhong said gratefully: "Yuxuan and fellow Taoist Xifeng are already very fast. In the past, when Su Zhan consolidated the formation, it would take him more than a month."

Xiaoxiao stared at the formation that had been chiseled with traces curiously. While watching, he also greeted Tai Shuhong and Du Heng to look at it together. Du Heng couldn't see that so he asked, "What kind of formation is this?"

Tai Shuhong said: "Su Zhan said that this is a fixed formation called Bafang Ding. If there is no such formation, the land in front of you will be gone. Do you see if there are eight circles in the eight directions of this formation?"

Du Heng was taught: "Oh oh oh, so that's it. You are still amazing. This is the first time I have seen such a formation."

Xuan Yu said: "There are eight auxiliary array eyes next to the circular formation, which are mostly used to determine things." After hearing this, Jing Nan smiled and said: "The formation that can determine mountains, rivers and earth must be powerful."

Du Heng could not hear what the two of them meant. He walked around the square and asked Xuan Yu: "Xiaoyu, where are the mushrooms you mentioned?"

He specially brought a large basket to pick mushrooms, but after looking around, he couldn't find any of them.

Hearing Du Heng's words, Tai Shuhong said, "The mushrooms are not in the forest, but here." Du Heng followed Tai Shuhong's guidance and looked at the palace behind the square. He was a little stupid: "Ah?" Mushrooms grow in the palace? Is it someone specialized in it?

When he walked into the palace, he understood how the mushrooms came about. There were a lot of wood in the main hall of the palace. I don’t know who put the wood here, and the wood was rotten. There were mushrooms of big and small size growing on these woods, and some of them had grown old and some had just emerged.

Du Heng picked a mushroom and handed it to Xiaoxiao, who was watching the fun: "Xiaoxiao and ask Nan Nan if this is a mushroom."

Since he was knocked down by mushrooms that looked very similar to chicken mushrooms, he didn't dare to eat them even when he saw familiar mushrooms.

Xiaoxiao quickly brought Jing Nan's judgment: "Jiuchi!" Yes!

When Du Heng heard this news, he felt relieved. He placed the basket in the hall and picked mushrooms with peace of mind. These mushrooms were of good quality. The largest mushroom he picked was larger than his slap, and the gray-brown skin had irregular white patterns.

Du Heng was so excited that he picked it up, and Xiaoxiao they were also helping Du Heng pick mushrooms. Suddenly, wontons shouted at Du Heng, and Du Heng turned to look at wontons: "Wontons, what's wrong?"

Wonton looked at the corridor next to the hall. The walls on both sides of the disrepaired corridor were mottled and looked a little gloomy. Du Heng rubbed Wonton's head: "What's wrong? Have you seen something?"

Wonton shook its tail and walked to the depths of the corridor. Wonton has always been energetic. When he was a puppy, he ran to the Nanshan Mountain to chase monsters. Du Heng thought that it should have seen mice and the like. After all, there are no people living in the palace in the mountains, so it is normal to have spirit beasts and other things hidden inside.

After a while, Wonton walked towards Du Heng with something in her mouth. Du Heng didn't see clearly at first, but after he saw it clearly, he screamed out tragically. Wonton's mouth was actually a human head!!

Du Heng howled, and Xiaoxiao also screamed. Each person and the chicken hugged each other and shivered. The wonton innocently threw the things in its mouth to the ground, and it lay on the ground with grievance and hummed.

When Feng Gui and the others rushed into the hall, Du Heng and Xiaoxiao hugged each other and screamed. Xuan Yu and Feng Gui rushed towards Du Heng, and the other held a long sword in their hands: "What's wrong?!"

Du Heng pointed to the ground tremblingly: "Head!!"

Everyone looked at the ground beside Wonton, and saw a puppet's head falling on the ground. Jing Nan kicked his head with his feet, and rolled his head twice on the ground. Jing Nan squatted down and looked carefully: "What's wrong with you? This is the head of a puppet doll."

But it’s not that Du Heng was screaming so badly. This puppet’s head was too realistic, and even the hair on his head was similar to that of a real person. With the eyebrows and empty eyes, it really looked like a real person’s head.

Du Heng and Xiaoxiao turned their heads when they heard this: "Pule?" These two people were frightened, especially Du Heng, whose legs were weak.

Feng Gui spitted and said, "After all, I'm still a monk. Have you ever seen a dead person? Even if it's a human head, you don't have to scream like a girl, right?" Du Heng couldn't even raise his head when he was scolded. He reviewed: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know anything before."

It is said that the world of cultivation is cruel and death is the norm, but Du Heng has never seen anyone die since he entered the world of cultivation. He is a chef who is serious and dedicated to cooking every day, and he really does not have such a strong ability to withstand it.

Tai Shuhong squatted down and picked up the puppet. He said apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. This palace is used to pile up some unused refining materials in the weapon refining hall."

Even the wood with mushrooms growing in the hall was put on by the people in the artifact refining hall. When they were placed, no one thought of them, so the ashes fell, and the ashes grew mushrooms.

Tai Shuhong straightened out the long hair of the puppet. He held the puppet head in one hand and said to Du Heng: "I'll put the puppet back." Just as Tai Shuhong was about to leave, Jing Nan suddenly called him: "Wait a minute!"

Jing Nan reached out to catch the head. He stared at the puppet head with complicated eyes for a long time. Tai Shuhong was confused, so: "What's wrong?"

Jing Nan said nothing, and turned the puppet's head in his hand and looked at Feng Gui and the other two. Feng Gui's expression changed suddenly when he saw the puppet, and Du Heng was also stunned. Only Xuan Yu's expression was consistent.

The reason why Du Heng was stunned was that the face in front of him was 70 to 80% similar to his face! When he looked at this head, he felt as if he had seen his brother.
