Enjoy the world

Hua Zhenxing put away the file bag, the matter came to an end, and there was no further discussion at the wine table. Everyone chatted for a while, and Mr. Feng suddenly said: "Xiaohua's craftsmanship is really good, but this dish..."

Old Man Yang interrupted him and said, "Is it not to your taste? Is it because you can't drink or can't keep your mouth shut?"

Mr. Feng: "It's very well done. I can't fault it, except that it's a little lacking in sophistication."

Old Man Yang sneered: "Someone who doesn't enjoy food or wine, actually thinks this pot is not vegetarian enough?"

Dan Zicheng stood up and said, "I'm going to serve the fresh short leg yellow."

There are two special vegetables in the Wucheng area, which are different from the Chinese cabbage and pak choi commonly seen in supermarkets. They are named Gaoganbai and Dajiaohuang. When locals call them cabbage and green vegetables, they usually refer to these two vegetables.

The leaf stems of Gaozhanbai are very long and white. When the leaves are removed, they look like a white jade ruler. They are usually used to process local specialty fragrant pickles. Cut the stems into long strips as thick as chopsticks and as long as your fingers, dry them and then pickle them. Made, it tastes delicious when served with rice.

The locals call coriander coriander or coriander, and mentioning coriander refers to this fragrant pickled vegetable.

The plant of Dwarf-footed Yellow is very small. It looks a bit like a small rapeseed at first glance. It tastes very tender. It can also be boiled in a pot and eaten. Fresh Dwarf-footed Yellow is also available in winter.

Mr. Feng stretched out his hand to stop Dan Zicheng: "Four people are drinking in one pot. In this situation, we can put a few more plates. Elegant dishes such as Feng Hua Xue Yue are better served with wine."

Old Man Yang sneered and said, "You must be a foreigner! The so-called first-class pot means that there are as many people as one table, and everyone eats just one pot. The pots come in different sizes and depths, and the dishes can have multiple layers of meat and vegetables. Three, five, or seven layers can be used. Usually singular.

It can be layered with meat and vegetables in sequence, or it can be layered with meat and vegetables, or vegetarian with meat... Egg dumplings are usually placed on the top layer. "At this point, he turned around and asked, "Dan Zicheng, do you know why Yipin Guo is called Yipin Guo? "

Dan Zicheng: "Ah, doesn't it mean that the official residence is of the first rank? The New Year dishes are just for show."

Mr. Feng clapped his chopsticks and said, "It's customary! It's a folk dish. When did it become a special dish?"

What kind of class aesthetic should be done when eating a meal! In ancient times, there were people who were full of class consciousness, envy and preaching that people are superior to others. That was the limitation of the times. Aren't you also sober? "

Dan Zicheng shrank his neck and obediently did not talk back. Old Man Yang choked back: "It's just the name of a dish, and it makes you bring out your class consciousness! Do you understand aesthetics? Then tell me the meaning of Yipin Guo!"

Mr. Feng raised the empty glass, Hua Zhenxing and Dan Zicheng filled the bottle at the same time, and finally it was Dan Zicheng who poured the wine for him. Mr. Feng drank a glass of wine and then said slowly——

"Those who taste it have a lot to eat. No matter how many people are at the table, it is just one pot of food. When visiting relatives and friends during the New Year, or having guests come to the house, the host will cook whatever he has, and mix all the dishes into one pot."

Old Man Yang: "So you know?" Then he nodded again and said, "It's an elegant taste in folk customs to serve multiple people in one pot, but..."

Mr. Feng: “I haven’t finished speaking yet!

Those who taste it know its taste. There is no distinction between high and low among all kinds of people, host and guest. They eat from the same pot and know all kinds of tastes in the world, which can be called a taste.

A person of good character is also of good conduct. Not only does he know all kinds of tastes in the world, but he also maintains chastity and integrity, which can also be called Yipin. "

Dan Zicheng quickly poured another glass of wine: "Mr. Feng, you are still smart, this is beyond your realm!"

Hua Zhenxing had to interrupt: "Guys, what you just talked about was Yipin hotpot, which is Huizhou cuisine. And what I made today is clay pot, which is Wucheng cuisine. This is not Yipin hotpot!"

Mr. Feng looked innocent: "It's not me who started the conversation, it was Lao Yang who first said Yipin Guo. And according to what I just said, the word 'pin' means many mouths, knowledge of taste, and ethics, so today's meal can be considered a Yipin Guo." ah."

Old Man Yang: "Oh, you made a mistake too?"

Mr. Feng said angrily: "I just said that we can have a few more dishes of romance to make it easier to drink, but it went astray...forget it, next time."

Hua Zhenxing: "I can't do it even if it's romantic!"

Old Man Yang shook his head and said, "I asked you to read so many cookbooks for nothing! I'll give you another one." As he spoke, he took out a book from nowhere and wanted to hand it to Hua Zhenxing.

But the book was taken away by Mr. Feng: "Oh, where did it come from?"

Old Man Yang: "What I copied from the Zhengyimen Scripture Collection Pavilion must have been made by a junior member of the Zong family. It made Mr. Feng laugh."

Mr. Feng: “Is this a serious recipe?”

Old Man Yang: "It is both a recipe and an elixir book. When I helped Xiaohua develop the Five Qi Chunrong Dan, I was somewhat inspired by it."

Mr. Feng took out a book from nowhere: "I have a serious cookbook here, Xiaohua. I gave it to you today. You must work hard next time!"

Hua Zhenxing took the two books in confusion. The one given by Old Man Yang was called "Fang Fang Pu" and the one given by Mr. Feng was called "Hundred Flowers". Neither of them looked like serious names!

Hua Zhenxing even wondered if the two men had made a mistake. Are they sure it was given to him and not to Sima Zhi?

"Meal Recipe Book" is a handwritten copy of Old Man Yang. The old man's handwriting is so beautiful that it can be used as a copybook. "Hundred Flowers" is a printed version of an ancient book from the Song Dynasty. Even the cover is missing. It seems that it should be kept in a museum.

Hua Zhenxing: "Mr. Feng, where did your book come from?"

Mr. Feng: "Thirty years ago, I just graduated from college and stayed in Pingjing for half a year because of work. I bought it from a ghost market for 200 yuan."

Hua Zhenxing: "Ghost market? Why haven't I heard of it? Can I still find such good things?"

Mr. Feng: "Your good friend Xiaoyouzi used to like to visit that place, but by the time he went there, it should have been renamed Panjiayuan Counterfeit Market."

In short, this meal was worth two meals, and he ate from noon to evening. By the time Hua Zhenxing returned to school, it was already past the time to get off work. He hurriedly hurriedly and slowly finally flew to Wucheng on time, but he was still one day late for registration.

Throughout the next semester, Hua Zhenxing's life was almost peaceful. This is the norm for ordinary people, and it is also the norm for monks. It is impossible for demon kings to raid every day, right? Is that still a human life?

Even though it seems peaceful, it is actually very busy, or to be more accurate - Huazhenxing is also living a very fulfilling life.

Even if he is still at the "merely" Seventh Realm cultivation level, Hua Zhenxing still insists on refining the world in the gourd every day. At the same time, he continues to understand the shape-swallowing formula, practice the method of swallowing shapes, and begins to refine the White Crane Demon King's leftover body. The Xuan Mizhu below.

Rather than refining, it is better to say that it is absorbing, understanding its cultivation realm, natural talents, magical powers, etc., and integrating them into the form and spirit.

It is fusion but not fusion. The purpose of Hua Zhenxing is not to transform into that crane, let alone become the ancient White Crane Demon King through this method.

This process was extremely impatient. One semester passed, and the Xuan Mizhu was still the same. It was not like Old Man Yang said, because his refining dissipated invisible.

Manman is still at Pingjing University and has not transferred to Feigong University Wucheng Branch like Hua Zhenxing. This is also the meaning of Huazhenxing. Talents studying abroad in several countries should experience various fields, criticize while studying, and learn while criticizing.

Huazhenxing is still interning at Fangguan Development Wucheng Branch and often goes to Pingjing during holidays or weekends. He has become able to fly freely in the shape of a swallowing crane, much faster than an ordinary crane. He has two options if he wants to see Manman in Pingjing -

The first is to spend most of the day swallowing the shape of a crane and flying over by itself.

The second is to spend a few hundred yuan and take the high-speed train there in four and a half hours.

Huazhenxing’s choice is to take the high-speed rail! Even if he swallows the form of a crane and uses wind magic, his flying speed cannot keep up with the Dongguo High-Speed ​​Railway, especially over long distances.

Flying from Wucheng to Pingjing, you have to fly by yourself if you don't want to take a plane. Even if you transform into a crane with the help of wind magic, it will take at least twelve hours. By the time you get there, you will be very tired.

If the small bench is still there, the time will be faster, but it is not as convenient and comfortable as taking the high-speed rail. But Hua Zhenxing did not delay practicing the swallowing technique. Sometimes he would fly out of a few stations, land quietly, and then transfer to the high-speed train.

In addition to the form of swallowing a crane, Hua Zhenxing is also practicing the form of swallowing a sculpture. These two skills are indeed comparable. After practicing the Crane Swallowing Form, it is not difficult to get started with the Sculpture Swallowing Form.

With the experience of swallowing the shape of a crane and flying from Yangyuan Valley to Wucheng, there is no need to make so many detours and accidents when swallowing the shape of a eagle.

The speed of the sculpture shape is obviously faster than that of the crane shape, and it is comparable to a high-speed rail when it folds its wings to dive. With Hua Zhenxing's physical fitness and the help of wind magic, it can even be faster than the high-speed rail.

But after all, he is just an eagle, and it is impossible to continue flying long distances in this posture. From the perspective of economic applicability, comfort and convenience, taking the high-speed rail is still a better choice.

It was during this flight that Huazhenxing determined Huanxiang Tebang's future high-speed rail construction plan. However, it was too expensive to build this thing. Fortunately, the high-speed rail mileage required by Huanxiang Tebang was not too exaggerated.

The Xinghua Zhenxing of Swallowing the Diao is currently just practiced by myself. Old Man Yang is right. The inheritance of the Swallowing Shape Technique has higher requirements for the master than the disciples. Teaching is more difficult than learning. If you cannot understand a certain state, it is difficult to clearly understand it. Teach others.

Hua Zhenxing also planned to remind Sima Zhi when the time comes and go to the high mountains to the west of Yangyuan Valley to communicate with the two-headed eagle, a male and a female, and learn some experience from each other.

If the pair of crowned eagles cannot be found, Sima Zhi can also find other eagles. Don't be like Hua Zhenxing, who flew all the way and didn't even meet a serious white crane, but only met a stupid bird on the island.

Later in the semester, Hua Zhenxing was also trying to practice the form of swallowing a dragon. Because of his deeper understanding of the realm of swallowing the form, he actually became a master of the swallowing dragon form, which is very different from swallowing the crane and swallowing the eagle.

He was just getting started, so when Hua Zhenxing occasionally practiced swallowing dragons, he didn't go too far and only tried his skills in Qingyi River.

The furthest trip was when he ran along the Qingyi River to the Yangtze River, which was already the boundary of Jinghu Lake. He even went ashore to visit Teacher Ding. Ding Qi and his wife were away from home because of something, so Zhu Shanxian invited him to have a meal.

Flowing dragons are walking in the river. Although Huazhen Xing tries his best to do so in the dead of night, people will still notice the waves.

As a result, there were rumors of "water monsters in Qingyi River" in Wucheng area, and it was stirred up by the self-media. Many people formed teams to explore water monsters at night, and stayed by the Qingyi River in the middle of the night to broadcast live...

When this happens, Hua Zhenxing can detect it from afar, and then he swims over. All people can see is the waves in the river.

That day, he finished eating at Fangwaimen, and on his way back in the evening, he still went upstream from the Qingyi River to turn into a dragon. Maybe he drank a little wine to get in the mood, or maybe he gained some experience from practicing swallowing the dragon in one breath. We ran to Peach Blossom Pond in the upper reaches of Qingyi River.

It was already daylight.

Peach Blossom Pond is actually a section of the Qingyi River. The river widens here and there are cliffs on one side. The river swirls under the cliffs and is bottomless. In spring, peach blossoms on the cliffs fall and swirl in the pond. The ancients called it Peach Blossom Pond.

In a secluded place on the cliff beside Peach Blossom Pond, stood a woman in white. She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, holding a short snow-white staff in her hand.

The spotted dragon transformed by Hua Zhenxing had just sneaked into the Peach Blossom Pond when she saw her inserting a short staff into her belt, taking off the necklace and bracelet she was wearing and clasping them together to form a ring with a chain, and then the chain connected the ring. Throw it down...

The flying chain turned into a hundred feet, and the buckle went into the water to grab the lock of the spotted dragon. He lifted Hua Zhenxing from the Peach Blossom Pond to the top of the cliff, and also used magic to hide his traces so that ordinary people would not notice.

With Hua Zhenxing's cultivation, regardless of whether he was an opponent or not, he might have struggled a few times, but at this moment he was unaware and unprepared. He was so excited that he was suddenly caught by the magic weapon.

The silver ring clasped her waist, the light cyan chains tied her up, and her magical powers were also banned. She lost her ability to change in an instant, and recovered her body instantly. Only when she was lifted to the shore did she see the woman in white.

Hua Zhenxing was inexplicably shocked, and the girl seemed to be surprised too. She frowned and asked, "Are you actually a human? Put on your clothes quickly!"

Hua Zhenxing: "Fellow Taoist, please release the magic weapon first!"

The woman in white didn't seem to be afraid of him turning against her. She loosened the clasp with a flick of her wrist, slowly untied the ring and chain, put the bracelet and necklace back on, then took out the short staff and held it in her hand.

Hua Zhenxing was getting dressed very quickly now. Not only was all the water on his body dry when he turned around, but he had already taken out his clothes and shoes from the demon refining gourd and put them on.

The woman in white clothes asked: "What kind of secret method is this? What kind of dragon-transformation technique is practiced by a good-looking person who is not of the scale type?" At this point, he shook his head and said, "No, no, you have not transformed into a dragon, nor have you been reborn."

Hua Zhenxing: "This is the Swallowing Form Jue. I was just practicing the Swallowing Dragon Form... Who are you?" He used his spiritual thoughts to briefly introduce the identity of the swallowing form jue crane, and then asked the person he was most concerned about. question.

Woman in white: "My surname is Yun, Fengyun Zhiyun, I am from outside the world, so you don't need to ask any more questions. Recently I heard that a dragon was suspected to be in Qingyi River, and I was ordered to come here to investigate. It turned out to be a misunderstanding."

Hua Zhenxing: "By order? Did Alliance Leader Mei ask you to come? He just said hello to me directly, or sent a message."

The woman in white didn't make a fuss about it, and continued to talk to herself: "Although it was a misunderstanding today, there are a few things you still need to pay attention to. The first is not to violate the precept of Sanxing, and don't shock the world, and you have caused rumors to spread all over the world recently. .

Secondly, there are dangers in walking dragons in the river. Just say that there are several places in the water system in Wucheng that are inaccessible. There is a bridge built by ancient overhauls on the water, and a magic sword hanging under the bridge can be used to kill chaotic monster dragons. "

As she spoke, she stretched out her short staff and pointed at Hua Zhenxing's eyebrows, sending a divine thought. His spiritual thoughts resembled a heart disk, as if the clouds were condensed into signs of various water systems in Wucheng, and nine locations were marked.

She warned Hua Zhen not to go to these places when walking to avoid accidents. Three of them were near Zhengyisan Mountain, and one was in downtown Wucheng.

Hua Zhenxing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Yun, for reminding me!" Then he said in confusion, "These nine places are all small rivers. How can a dragon go with that little water?"

Woman in white: "Of course it's impossible on normal days, but not necessarily when there's flooding. Anyway, you have to be careful to avoid it."

Hua Zhenxing: "Can I ask a few more questions about what kind of artifacts are your bracelets and necklaces?"

Woman in white: "The beast-locking ring and the demon-stopping rope are not magical weapons. The so-called magic weapons are nothing more than being able to match the form and spirit, and may not be more useful than some magic weapons that are not magic weapons. The beast-locking ring and the demon-stopping rope are such magic weapons."

The names of these two magic weapons sound very cruel at first sight. Hua Zhenxing has experienced them personally and of course he knows how powerful they are. Moreover, he can tell at a glance that they are this set of weapons. They can be used separately or buckled together as one. A magic weapon.

Such a cruel magic weapon was actually treated as a necklace and bracelet by this girl. I can't afford to offend it! Hua Zhenxing wanted to ask a few more questions, but the girl waved her short staff, soared into the clouds and disappeared in an instant.

Hua Zhenxing froze on the high cliff by the water for a long time, lamenting that the Kunlun cultivation world was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. If there was no guarantee, a master would pop up at any time. At least Hua Zhenxing was not his opponent now.

According to what the girl meant, today she came to check for traces of dragons. Even if there really was a spotted dragon demon king in the water, she would have locked it up for questioning, but in the end, Hua Zhenxing was locked up...

You can’t just expand and let go of your magical powers just because you’ve developed them, you have to be humble and cautious at all times!

The reminder from the woman in white is also very important. Hua Zhenxing practices the form of swallowing the dragon, and is also gaining experience for Manman in the future. When the time comes to teach Manman the form of swallowing the dragon, the relevant precautions must be explained together, and as much as possible Find out more.

After all, Hua Zhenxing never asked about the identity of the woman in white because she had no intention of telling him.

The woman in white introduced the nine ancient bridges in Wucheng. The magic swords hanging under the bridges can be used to kill evil dragons. Hua Zhenxing plans to take some time to visit them all. It’s a good idea to learn and enjoy the mountains and rivers at the same time. It’s best to spend the holidays with Manman. go together.

Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but secretly sigh, although Yangyuan Valley has developed rapidly and seems to have become a big force, it still lacks a lot of foundation. Apart from anything else, does Huanxiang Tebang have such an ancient bridge?

Except for this accident, Hua Zhenxing's experience in practicing the form-swallowing method was generally smooth. That day when he returned to Huanxiang Garden from Peach Blossom Pond, he no longer walked out of the river, but turned into a crane and flew.

As soon as he landed, he received a call from Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng asked: "Xiaohua, you have been reading "Fan Fang Pu" and "Hundred Flowers" for almost four months. Have you achieved any results?"

Hua Zhenxing: "Thank you Mr. Feng for the gift of the classics. I have gained a lot!"

Mr. Feng: "Why didn't I see it? What have you been doing all day long? Since you have gained a lot, let's apply what you have learned. When will you be able to make a proof?"

"Chrysalis" is a dialect from the northeast of Dongguo. It is not only a kind of insect but also a verb. It roughly means twisting and turning. Hua Zhenxing understood what Mr. Feng said, and he immediately replied: "This is easy to handle. When will you be free?"

Mr. Feng: “Set a date and I’ll be available at any time!”
