Chapter 783 Foodie
Gan Yu carried a bamboo basket on his back and trekked through the mountains and forests.
Thinking of the subtle meanings explained in the "Tao Jing" in the book he borrowed before, a smile appeared on his face.
“Sure enough, after reading the book a hundred times, its meaning will become apparent... I used to have only six volumes of the Taoist Scriptures, which were not very coherent. Many of the meanings of the scriptures were not smooth enough to read, but now they are coherent and clear..."
With such thoughts, he naturally ran to Mr. Fang more diligently.
Moreover, I have to repay the kindness I received from my husband.
However, he was shy in the sac. Fortunately, in recent days, I heard that Mr. I wanted to eat snake.
Gan Yu suddenly thought that there seemed to be insects infesting the Niutou Mountain not far away, so he often came here to collect firewood and caught a fat snake to honor his husband.
Unfortunately, the easy-to-catch long worms in the mountains have long been caught by the children in the village and have disappeared. In the past few days, nothing has been caught.
Today, he will go deep into the area of collecting firewood, hoping to gain something.
The sun was blazing in the sky. Gan Yu had been flogging firewood for a long time, and now he was sweating profusely.
He put down the bamboo basket and took out the earthen jar filled with water. Just as he was about to take a drink, he suddenly stumbled.
Snapped!
Gan Yu exclaimed and watched as the earthen jar fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. Countless water flowed out and submerged into the earth in an instant.
Looking at the few remaining belongings of his family and removing one of them, he couldn't help but cry without tears: "Sure enough... Bai Wuyi is a scholar."
Gan Yu had no choice but to feel extremely hungry and thirsty. He checked the direction and remembered that there was a ruined temple not far away, and there should be a well in the temple.
After walking forward for a while, he saw a small temple.
This small temple has long been dilapidated. The plaque and a door are missing, there is a big hole in the roof, and there are many spider webs on the eaves.
At the position of the statue, the golden body made of clay and tiles had already been torn into pieces, and not a single head was left.
On top of the golden body, he seems to be wearing a robe, but over time, the color has faded, making it somewhat difficult to identify.
Only vaguely, there seemed to be some waves in the water, with carps playing among them.
People in this world respect heaven and fear gods. Gan Yu cupped his hands towards the statue of the gods and then came to the back of the small temple.
This was originally the place where Miao Zhu lived, but Miao Zhu has long since disappeared without a trace of people.
In the courtyard, hidden by weeds, there is an ancient well.
This well has a square mouth and is built with blue bricks. It looks like it must be quite old.
And the well is not big, only the size of a water tank.
Gan Yu lay down at the mouth of the well and took a look, and couldn't help crying out in pain.
It turns out that the well is very deep and seems to be almost dry, and the straw rope next to it has long since rotted...
"Um?"
At this moment, Gan Yu glanced out of the corner of his eye and was startled.
Beside this small well, there is also a pool of water.
The pool was so shallow that it could not even cover the soles of his shoes. The muddy water was churning in it, and something seemed to be flopping around!
Gan Yu's eyes lit up, and when he grabbed it with both hands, he felt like he was grabbing onto a slippery body. With a twist, it was about to come out of his hand.
He felt anxious, and immediately flipped his hands, buckling the fragments of the earthen pot that was originally intended to be used to ladle water, and flipping it over again.
In the muddy water, the back of a loach is looming.
The scales all over its body are fine and pitch-black, with slender whiskers and very lively eyes.
Gan Yu couldn't help but secretly praise him.
As a young farmer, he often touched snails and loaches when he was young, but in terms of appearance, he was simply unmatched!
At this time, the loach had tears in his eyes, as if he was pleading.
His mouth kept blowing bubbles and pointed in the direction of the well.
"Is this a loach in the well water? Why did it come outside? Do you want to go back?"
Gan Yu looked at the loach and fell into deep thought for a moment...
…
After a while.
Stab it!
The bonfire was lit, and a loach was skewered on a branch and roasted in the fire until it was sizzling with oil.
"Although this loach is small, it still has a few ounces of meat... It's a pity that I didn't catch a few more and give them to my mother to taste..."
Gan Yu touched his growling belly and muttered to himself.
Canglin knows honor and disgrace in a real way.
He doesn’t have enough to eat every day. He will naturally eat the fish he catches, otherwise, should he release it?
“Huhu…”
After a while, the grilled fish was ready. He blew a few breaths and immediately started chewing.
I don’t know why, but when I eat this loach, it tastes extremely delicious. There is no earthy smell at all, and there is not even any salt added, but there is an indescribable taste that echoes between the lips and teeth.
Even with just this little bit of meat, Gan Yu felt full for the first time in his life.
He yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream.
Gan Yu was in a daze when he saw a cloud of red and white air coming down, and then there was a handsome young man wearing a dragon and carp brocade robe and a jade crown, pointing at himself and yelling: "I am the Dragon King of the Well, you are If you don’t fear the gods and eat my body, there will be great disaster!”
After saying that, it turned into a dark and ferocious dragon, but it was not completely transformed. There was a bulge on the top of its head, and there were no dragon claws on its abdomen. There were only four fins, and the dragon's whiskers were long and slender. It looked like a large one. Black loach!
At this time, the dragon opened its mouth, and saw that it was filled with densely packed sharp teeth, and bit down on Gan Yu!
"ah!"
“Don’t eat me, don’t eat me…”
He exclaimed, got up, touched his forehead, and was stunned again. I feel that the original pain is quickly dissipating, and even the swelling is slowly calming down.
After Gan Yu exclaimed, he felt that his ears and eyes were clear and his mind was refreshed. The original texts of the "Tao Jing" that he had not memorized in his mind were slowly flowing through his heart, and he seemed to have a photographic memory!
Not only that, he suddenly understood the subtle meanings hidden in the scriptures as if he suddenly had an enlightenment.
"this…"
At this time, he did not feel any joy. Instead, he looked at the well and the fish bones on the ground, with fear in his eyes.
“This temple…it seems that it did worship a water **** in the past?”
After your memory gets better, many deep-hidden memories slowly emerge from the sea of consciousness.
Gan Yu came to the front of the temple and stared at the headless clay statue. He vaguely felt that he was wearing the brocade robe of dragons and carps playing in the water.
“It’s a disaster!”
He bit his lip, his face was extremely pale, and he crawled to the ground to escape from the temple...
…
"this…"
“This is so wrong with the script...”
Fang Xi, who was silently paying attention to this place with his spiritual consciousness, was also very surprised and blurted out.
According to his script, when his consciousness discovered that this unlucky loach seemed to be punished in some way, he had to enter the well as a mortal fish in order to be forgiven.
Fang Xi then deliberately mentioned in front of Gan Yu that he wanted to eat snake soup, lured Gan Yu to Niutoushan, and secretly cast a spell to knock down his earthen jar.
Gan Yu indeed followed the script at first and came to the ruined temple and discovered the Dragon King of the Well.
"The next development should not be to release the Jing Dragon King and form a good relationship... Will the Jing Dragon King then give him luck and treasures... to help him take the imperial examination?"
"how so?"
Fang Xi felt as if she was laughing or crying.
I just felt that Jing Longwang was really unjust!
Of course, no matter how tortuous the process is, the result is still good.
“Even if King Jing Long is a hairy god, which is an insult to the title of Dragon King, he can still be regarded as a spiritual creature... Now that he is eaten by Gan Yu, he is instantly reborn.”
“Even those who have acquired the ability to have a photographic memory, it shouldn’t be a big problem for people with such extraordinary talents to take the Taoist test and promote their talents.”
“Besides, now that Gan Yu has offended a god, he has no choice but to fight tooth and nail…”
“If you fail this exam, not only will you die, but your whole family will suffer as well!”
Even without using the Luck Gu, Fang Xi knew that Gan Yu must have received a piece of 'bad luck' at this time!
Those who have bad luck are also bad luck!
Blessings and disasters come one after another. You can survive a sudden leap into the sky, but you cannot survive a sudden death.
“But it’s none of my business, it’s just a random chess piece.”
In a mountain village.
In the fenced courtyard, under the peach blossom tree.
Fang Xi carved a chessboard out of stone and slowly placed black and white chess pieces on it.
He made a secret with one hand and pulled off a blue stone from a blue stone next to him.
Another spell fell, and the stones turned into pitch black.
In this courtyard, the peach blossom tree has its own formation. Although it is only the lowest level of concealment formation, there is no abnormality in this mere land.
“Well, the spell has almost been modified...”
Fang Xi played chess with her left hand and her right hand and had a great time.
The Five Elements spells in the Earthly Immortal Realm are not completely unusable in this world, but they must be modified.
At least, it is not feasible to directly use the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It must be stimulated by the vitality of heaven and earth.
"There is spiritual energy in this world, but it is not active. It seems to be suppressed by some kind of law... Shinto?"
Fang Xi murmured.
The value of gods lies in their laws!
The Taoist court has laws to govern all the gods in the world, and everyone must obey them.
The Taoist court is like this, and the laws of heaven must be even more terrifying!
“Except for spells, some magic weapons have become waste…”
Fang Xi took out the Divine Infant Sword, which turned into a three-foot-long sword. The blade was gleaming with blood. It was obviously a rare treasure.
But in terms of power, compared to the sixth-level Void Returning Treasure, most of its power has been knocked down.
Other treasures like the Xuanming Banner are nothing like this.
On the contrary, the power of Five Fires, Seven Birds Fan and Qi Luck Gu has been weakened the least.
"Of the two, one is an imitation of the Fairy Treasures... The Fairy Treasures come from the True Immortal Realm. The True Immortal Realm is at least the level of the Great Thousand Worlds, and is a higher level than the Heavenly Court of the Middle Thousand Worlds. Therefore, if it is the real Fairy House Treasures , and can even be immune to the suppression and influence of the power of the world..."
“As for the Luck Gu, it seems that it conforms to the local rules, so it has not been weakened much...”
Fang Xi thought thoughtfully: "Next time, I should go to my place and borrow the Erwu Zanpou Gourd or the Fifth Generation Qinghe Sword... In this world, only the treasures of the Immortal Mansion can exert their greatest power... It really doesn't work, Jianzi That flying sword is also good."
Fang Xi was even more thoughtful when she thought about the treasures of the Immortal Mansion relying on the power of the laws of heaven and earth.
Shinto laws, if developed to the extreme, will become the laws of heaven and earth to a certain extent!
In other words, it is similar to the laws of heaven and earth!
If you are in conflict with the high-level gods in this world, without the immortal treasures to suppress your energy, it will be really difficult to sleep peacefully.
'This way of the gods is somewhat similar to the way of the earthly immortals... It's just that with the help of faith, the divine way can exert one or two percent of the power of a land of water and soil. It is not as good as the earthly immortals, which can exert the power of the entire earthly immortal realm. , because the earth immortal is the real owner, and the gods are just borrowing it? Even so, if the priesthood is high enough, the scope of borrowing can be very wide...even far beyond the earthly fairy realm! ’
Fang Xi couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his heart. What kind of state is the Emperor of Heaven in now?
