Eternal Tranquility

There was no reference in the desert, and now he wasn't even sure if he was going forward.

The hoofhorn beast finally got tired of running and slowed down, moving its hooves listlessly while chewing the spirit beast pill that Liu Qinghuan used to coax it.

Fortunately, on the twentieth day, he finally found a little green ahead!

Then he started to wonder, wouldn't he have directly crossed the entire forbidden spirit area...

With a feeling of uneasiness and great expectation, one person and one animal ran straight towards that little bit of green.

The so-called "running to death" in Wangshan Mountain, they ran for a full day and night, and finally saw the true face of that green spot on the second day!

It was a small oasis, only a few miles in radius, with green grass and wild flowers that could be seen at a glance. Several large trees are dotted throughout the oasis, with a mirror-like lake in the center. By the lake, there are several thatched huts, and there are several fields around the huts, where green vegetables and fruits are grown.

Everything looks like a beautiful pastoral scenery, if you ignore the surrounding desert smoke.

Liu Qinghuan stopped in the distance. It was the first time he saw human traces in this small world, and he couldn't help but be very puzzled. After watching for a long time, I saw no movement on the oasis, so I walked slowly over.

"You're here." A man's voice suddenly came out.

Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he was hallucinating. The sound came from behind the hut on the other side of the lake. It was so far away, but it reached Liu Qinghuan's ears so clearly.

After waiting for a while, there was no sound. He thought about it, stepped into the oasis, and walked step by step behind the hut.

Turning the corner of the room, I saw a young man in black uniform sitting at a stone table by the lake.

The young man looked about twenty-four or five years old, with calm eyebrows and handsome features. He had no trace of any cultivation on his body, just like an ordinary mortal.

At this time, he was holding a white chess piece and was meditating on the remaining chess game on the stone table. There is a fish basket at his feet, a fishing rod is inserted next to the fish basket, and a long silk thread hangs in the lake water.

Just as Liu Qinghuan was about to ask, the young man looked up at him and said softly: "Sit down."

Seeing that the other party seemed to be taking it for granted, Liu Qinghuan walked over hesitantly and sat on the stone bench opposite the young man.

At this time, the chess piece in the young man's hand fell on the chess board and he said: "It's your turn."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but lower his head to look at the chess game. His eyes were filled with black and white pieces.

But how can he understand! He has never played chess, or even touched it, so he only knows one rule: whoever surrounds him first wins.

He looked at the young man across from him again and saw that the other young man was still facing the chess game with a thoughtful expression. After thinking about it, he took out a black chess piece from the wooden chess box next to him.

He couldn't understand it either, so he chose a place with the most black chess pieces and put down the chess pieces.

The two of them got off together like a decent couple. Liu Qinghuan was confused. What he saw in front of him made him confused and puzzled. He opened his mouth several times, but seeing the young man's focused expression, he did not dare to disturb the other party.

This person seemed to be very young, but he gave him a mountain-like sense of oppression, leaving him unable to muster any strength to resist.

The young man had to think for a long time every time he made a chess move, which made it difficult for Liu Qinghuan to just hold the chess piece and pretend to think while looking at the chess board. Who would have thought that thinking about it would actually give him some ideas, and sometimes he would be able to solve the problem. Keep one or two white stones from the other side.

After playing two games like this, Liu Qinghuan didn't even understand who was losing and who was winning.

At this time, he noticed that the fishing rod next to him moved. Seeing that the other party was still thinking, he stood up and pulled up the fishing rod. There was a big fish hanging on the hook and jumping around.

Liu Qinghuan took a look and saw that the fish was crystal clear and very beautiful, but he had never seen it before. When I looked into several fields not far away, I saw that most of them were plants I had never seen before, some with leaves that resembled cabbage, and some with green berries.

Seeing that the young man had put down the chess piece, Liu Qinghuan quickly put the fish into the fish basket, wiped the water on his hands casually, and sat back down to continue playing.

After another dish was finished, the other party stood up, glanced at him, and ordered: "Make the fish tonight." After that, he turned around and walked towards the hut.

Liu Qinghuan scratched his head, what is this? ! Why couldn't he find a chance to speak?

He hurriedly picked up the fish basket and chased after him, turned the corner of the house, and saw that the man had entered the door of the hut, and the hem of his clothes disappeared at the door on the left.

The aura that the young man exuded invisibly was very powerful, and he didn't know who he was. However, being able to appear in the Great Xumi Qiankun Pagoda must have a lot to do with the Wenshi Sect. He had a strong feeling that the other party could make him disappear into ashes with just a move of his fingers. In this case, he might as well sit back and wait and see what happens next.

After Liu Qinghuan made up his mind, he was no longer in a hurry and looked at the place carefully.

I saw that the hut had three main rooms and one side room on each side. There was a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. A big fiery red rooster was dozing in a grass nest in the corner of the small courtyard. He was The forgotten hoof-horned beast was lying next to the grass nest, staring at the big rooster with a pair of bright eyes.

Liu Qinghuan was ashamed and saw that it was not causing trouble, so he ignored it for the time being.

He didn't dare to go to the main house, so he took the fish and looked at the two side rooms. One was a small warehouse for storing things, but it was empty now. The other room is the kitchen. There are some kitchen utensils in it, but they are not complete, and it looks like they have not been used much.

"What kind of fish is this..." Liu Qinghuan looked at the fish and said to himself, not knowing what to do. No matter, since the man said he wanted to eat, he would probably be able to eat it, and he would just do it as usual.

I found a kitchen knife and went to the lake to cut open and clean the fish. After thinking about it, I realized that it wouldn't look good just cooking fish, so I went to the vegetable field again. There are quite a few varieties of vegetables in the fields, but I don’t recognize any of them.

But since it is grown here specifically, it should be edible, right?

He pulled out a few large leaves that looked like cabbage, picked two long melons that looked like loofahs, and pulled out a tuber that looked like a radish, but the tuber was extremely long, and Liu Qinghuan spent a lot of time on it. It took the strength of the tiger to pull it out, and at first glance, it was five or six feet long!

As for the others, they looked too strange, so he had better not touch them for the time being.

Liu Qinghuan returned to the kitchen with this pile of things he didn't recognize, and dug out a bag of green rice in the corner. The grains were extremely plump and huge. He also found seasonings in the cupboard. The seasonings were extremely rich. There’s even ginger and garlic. This person must have brought it in from the outside world.

There was a pile of neatly stacked firewood behind the kitchen room. Liu Qinghuan dragged a few firewood and started the fire. After tinkering with his own will, he actually made one meat, two vegetables and one soup.

The fish is made of crystal fillets, which is the limit of what he can do with the available materials. There was also a stir-fried leaf, a braised tuber, and finally a soup made from long melon slices.

Then he got into trouble! There were a few plates, but no soup plate. That young man must have never done anything to eat!

He rummaged through the entire stove, and finally found a covered tripod on a wooden frame in the yard.

Liu Qinghuan walked over and picked it up to take a look. This tripod was very small. Apart from its odd shape, it would also be a good soup plate. But I don’t know how long it has been here, and there is a thick layer of dust on it. He took it to the lake, washed it, and served it with soup.

Liu Qinghuan smiled as he looked at these four decent dishes. He really has some cooking skills, and he can tinker with things he doesn't know, haha.

He tasted everything, and they all tasted pretty good, so he was even more proud.

After placing the dishes on the stone table in the courtyard, Liu Qinghuan walked to the door of the main room. The door is open, and the furnishings inside are very simple. There is a couch at the top and a few chairs on the left and right.

He stood respectfully by the door and shouted: "Senior, you can eat now."

The wooden door on the left opened, and the young man walked out slowly and sat down at the stone table. He glanced at the dishes on the table and showed a satisfied look. He was slightly startled when he saw the melon soup, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that there was only one set of dishes and chopsticks on the table, he glanced at the obedient boy and shouted: "Why are you still standing here!"

Liu Qinghuan burst into laughter and quickly ran to get herself a bowl of rice. The green and crystal-clear rice was extremely delicious, and Liu Qinghuan ate three large bowls in a row.

The two of them finished eating quietly. When Liu Qinghuan saw that he was about to go back to the house, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior, this kid Liu Qinghuan is a new disciple of Zhulin Mountain of the Wenshi Sect. What do you call me, senior?"

The young man stopped and turned to look at him: "You can call me Taizun."

Liu Qinghuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning: "Too, too, too much respect!"
