Mortal Mirror

At that moment, Li Zheng'an saw that Li Er Gou and Lu Changsheng were listening attentively, but he understood in his heart that no matter how much he said, it wouldn't be as effective as demonstrating it, letting them actually experience it to understand the subtleties of the Divine Path.

Therefore, Li Zheng'an extended a hand, and with a thought, a ball of flame condensed out of thin air in his palm.

The flame constantly changed shape, sometimes turning into a small bird, sometimes turning into a little pig, which was amazing to see.

Li Er Gou reached out to feel the scorching heat, and was immediately fascinated by it.

At that moment, with a thought from Li Zheng'an, the flame dissipated and turned into a ball of water droplets. With a wave of his hand, the water droplets flew upwards, and then burst open with a 'pop', turning into a drizzle that pattered down.

Li Er Gou widened his eyes and said, "Amazing, so amazing! Is this the power of the Divine Path?"

Li Zheng'an moved his mind again, and the rain dispersed, the water elements actually condensed into a water shield the size of a pot lid, looking thin, with countless mysterious patterns on it, which was quite beautiful.

Li Zheng'an said, "Er Gouzi, use all your strength to attack this shield."

Hearing this, Er Gouzi hesitated and said, "Sir, can this thin thing withstand an attack?"

Li Zheng'an smiled and did not answer him directly, but continued, "You'll know once you try."

Er Gouzi listened obediently and stopped hesitating. He exerted all his strength and suddenly threw a punch. He estimated that the force of this punch was at least five hundred pounds, enough to knock down an ox.

Boom! After a loud noise, he felt as if his fist had hit steel and iron bones. The seemingly weak water shield was extremely strong. His fist was red from the impact, but the water shield was unharmed.

He couldn't believe what he saw.

Li Zheng'an smiled slightly and said, "Divine Path cultivators, although they don't have the strong bodies of Martial Path cultivators, their strength lies in the manipulation of spells. No matter how powerful you are, you must first break through my defense.

Moreover, Divine Path cultivators don't need to engage in close combat. During battles, they only need to raise their shields and then frantically release spells, talismans, and flying swords."

Li Er Gou was dumbfounded, thinking that Divine Path cultivators were so awesome, it was simply something to yearn for.

Li Zheng'an continued to tell them about the benefits of the Divine Path, and Li Er Gou listened with fascination, unable to stop, wishing he could immediately cultivate Divine Path techniques. Unfortunately, the Divine Path was not open to him, so he had no choice.

Just like that, as the sun set, Li Er Gou left the school. After parting with Lu Changsheng, he rushed towards the Liu family.

Creak!

The door opened, and Li Er Gou cautiously poked his head out to look. He saw a shoe in the distance drawing a beautiful arc in the air, heading towards his face.

Li Er Gou gently raised his hand and caught the shoe.

Then he saw Zhu Zhu sitting in the yard, her cheeks puffed up, revealing a pair of white and tender little feet under her skirt.

A light voice came, "Hmph, you still know to come? Do you know I've been waiting for you all day?" Saying this, Zhu Zhu felt aggrieved, and her eyes turned red.

Li Er Gou immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Helpless, he immediately took out a large pile of things from behind him: candied haws, osmanthus cake, pea flour cake, all kinds of pastries and snacks.

There was even a large piece of pork. He chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Look, I bought you a lot of delicious things. I'm going to make this piece of pork into a fried pork chop for you. Shi Tou told me the cooking method. I haven't done it before, so I'll use you as a test subject first."

Zhu Zhu said, "Hmph, who cares? You stinky dog." But regardless, a faint smile appeared on the girl's face.

Li Er Gou immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. You don't know, today I..."

He hurriedly told Zhu Zhu everything that had happened to him that day. Zhu Zhu was very surprised after hearing this, and her resentment dissipated, "So that's how it is. I thought you deliberately didn't come."

Li Er Gou couldn't help but sigh, "You don't know, I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But alas, I was forced to."

Zhu Zhu snorted, "It's good that you have a conscience, and you know to get me so many delicious things. Hurry up, I want to eat that pork chop you mentioned."

Li Er Gou was prepared. He pretended that the iron plate was thrown behind the door. After he went out, he quickly took out the prepared iron plate from the bronze mirror, saying that he brought it specially.

The iron plate was about a foot wide. He found firewood to make a fire, cut the pork into pieces about a foot long and as thick as a finger, then poured oil on the iron plate and threw the pork on it. The grease of the pork melted, and a fragrance immediately filled the air.

This pork was replicated the last time he apprenticed to Wu the Immortal. Unfortunately, the pork was eaten by Wu the Immortal, but he didn't become an apprentice.

It had been in the bronze mirror for a long time, and a faint luster could be seen on the meat.

Zhu Zhu smelled the fragrance and said in surprise, "Why is it so fragrant? Could it be that the pork I ate before was fake?"

Li Er Gou didn't speak, after all, he didn't know how to explain it. Soon a piece of pork was fried until the outside was golden and crispy.

He took out the seasoning, sprinkled it on top, cut it into small pieces, skewered it with bamboo sticks, and handed it to Zhu Zhu, "Maybe it's because the pork is old enough, you try it and see if it's delicious."

Zhu Zhu lightly opened her pearly teeth and bit off a small piece of pork. She immediately felt as if endless fragrance exploded in her taste buds, and she felt like she was floating in the air, unable to help but say, "So delicious!"

She had never eaten such delicious pork since she was a child.

"Er Gou, your skills are really good."

Li Er Gou laughed secretly in his heart, thinking that it wasn't his skills that were good, it was just that the quality of the pork was too good. No matter what kind of meat, it would be different when it entered the bronze mirror. He was also wondering if there was a magical space in the bronze mirror, but he couldn't guess the secret.

In the Hao Tian Martial Hall, looking at the completely dark sky, Granny Wu sighed helplessly, "This Er Gou, where did he go? Forget it, Senior Brother, go ask that kid for his birth date. If it's not him, take Er Gou away directly tomorrow."

Old Silkworm Head nodded and turned to go out.

Shi Tou was practicing frantically in the martial arts field when he saw Old Silkworm Head walking towards him. Soon, Old Silkworm Head came in front of him, and he was slightly puzzled.

He heard Old Silkworm Head ask him, "Shi Tou, are you doing well here?"

Shi Tou was puzzled and said, "Not bad, are you Old Silkworm Head? Er Gou told me about you."

Old Silkworm Head stroked his beard lightly and said, "Hehe, it's me. What did that kid Er Gou say about me? I'm curious."

Shi Tou was slightly strange, what did this old man mean, but he still replied, "Said you were a good person."

Old Silkworm Head was slightly satisfied. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Shi Tou, I want to ask you something, I hope you tell me the truth."
