How to solve problems when practicing the Tao

Chapter 355
After walking for a few more days, the Daxue Mountain was already gone.

They headed west along the Bailang River. The old willows by the river were crooked, with little golden lights hanging from the tips.One after another, the waves rolled up a huge vortex, making a rushing sound.The waves rushing on the embankment were blocked by the embankment, and retreated again, colliding with the waves behind, and were lifted into the air with a bang, cascading like a waterfall.

Sima Wudi looked at the distance with his eyes, and the scenery was also extraordinary.

Beyond the clouds, the mountains are towering green, and the river is far away, and the water is leaking silver.The snow waves beat the sky, and the cool wind brushed the water.The four sides are empty and the eight sides are exquisite.

In the past few days, he has been arranged to carry everything about Qin Xiaoying's past on his back.If there is a slight mistake, it will be rectified by the witch.As a result, he was forced to vomit and vomit non-stop.

"what's your name?"

"Qin Xiaoying."

"How old is this year?"

"20 is old."

"Where is your home?"

"Southern Chu Xianxia Town."

"Who do you study under?"

"Master Kunlun Taigong."

"Can you know Taoist moves?"

"I have a punch that can break the sky and break the river." He immediately frowned: "But I don't know any of the moves you mentioned."

"I didn't really know it, I just told others that I used to know it." She chuckled. "You still want to compare with him? It's like a sky and an earth, fireflies competing with the bright moon." This woman's name is Yudie, and she is a witch of the evil school of ghosts.Although she saved herself time and time again, she still couldn't express her gratitude to her.

"Ah?" Qin Xiaoying didn't quite understand what this "claiming he could" was all about.

But Jade Butterfly didn't bother to answer him, and just walked slowly in front.After walking for dozens of miles, they came to a place with ruins.

It seems that this place used to be a famous family, so there is a rockery ruin in the center, with exquisite carvings, which makes people mistakenly think it was formed naturally, but unfortunately it has been decayed, and we can only roughly see it from the appearance.Broken stones and broken tiles can't see the original appearance.The rotting doors and windows collapsed against a few wooden posts that had not been picked up.Pieces of green moss growing on the wall.The moss has been corroded, like black spots, sticking to the wall.As soon as you enter here, you can smell the smell of rotting wood and moss.The dead wood beside the courtyard is full of fungus, like black butterflies clinging to it stiffly.

"This used to be Tangjiabao."

"Tangjiabao? The former home of Tianjian Tang Xiaobao?" Qin Xiaoying suddenly felt chilly.According to legend, Tangjiabao was wiped out overnight, including 130 people including Tang Feiying, the owner of the castle, who were killed.Only Tang Xiaobao escaped.

He remembered that it was Qin Xiaoying who met Tang Xiaobao for the first time in Jianlu and helped Tang Xiaobao pass the sword-testing stone and worship under Jian Juedao. That was the beginning of their friendship.After the battle in Jijing Cangjian City, Tang Xiaobao didn't hear from Tang Xiaobao afterwards, and he seemed to be wandering around with the sword master Cangyue Mingzhu.

Yudie also told him a gossip, that is, the sword master Cangyue Mingzhu is actually the daughter of the sword god Jian Juedao, and the father and daughter had a bad relationship because of some misunderstandings.Cang Yue Mingzhu ran away from home in anger, and made a name for herself as a sword master in the rivers and lakes.

And this Tangjiabao is the beginning of their story.

Jade Butterfly did not elaborate on why Tangjiabao was destroyed.

Knowing that this is Tangjiabao, Qin Xiaoying suddenly felt that the place was spooky.

"That's right, it's here." Jade Butterfly didn't care, pointing her slender fingers to the ground, a white light flashed, a wooden figure appeared, and cleaned the ground automatically. After a while, a clean area appeared on the ground.After a while, the wooden sweeper found a place to dump the dust and fallen leaves.

"What is this?" Qin Xiaoying was full of surprise.This wooden man can clean automatically?

"This is a sweeping robot developed by a player. It is sold in the Dongqi market. I thought it was convenient, so I bought one." Yudie turned into a solid wood rocking chair, sat on it, and swayed slightly.

"Aren't we leaving?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"Don't go, wait for someone here."

"Who are you waiting for?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"Don't ask, don't tell." Yu Die closed her eyes and fell asleep. "Go find a place to play by yourself." She was not afraid that Qin Xiaoying would run away at this time.

Qin Xiaoying didn't go far, when Yingyu appeared and ran out.

"This woman is so scary." Xiaoyingyu clutched her chest, not daring to breathe just now.

"She can't see you, what are you afraid of?" Qin Xiaoying said.He was not very clear about the reason behind it, he only knew that Yingyu seemed to be generated by the so-called player system, so only those who had the player system could see her.But the strange thing is that Yingyu can still eat.

"I'm hungry." Yingyu looked at Qin Xiaoying pitifully. "Qin Xiaoying, can't you run?" On the way, Qin Xiaoying didn't prepare any dry food.The jade butterfly seems to be successful in cultivation, and doesn't need to eat anything.This was a pain for Yingyu. If Qin Xiaoying hadn't caught a few hares and roasted them with his poor hunting skills along the way, Yingyu would have starved to death long ago.

"Why do you start calling me Qin Xiaoying now?" Although Qin Xiaoying has a name, it is someone else's name after all, which makes him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"The witch said that you should remember that you will be called Qin Xiaoying in the future. I am also helping you to avoid suffering from poison." Yingyu said with a smile.

"However, if you pretend to be someone else, there will always be a day when you will be exposed." Qin Xiaoying was a little annoyed.

"What are you afraid of? With such a vicious woman by your side, anyone who dares to question your identity will be dumbed down with a wave of poison." Yingyu stuck out her tongue.

"I think you two have different hearts." Qin Xiaoying said helplessly.

"Who is like her. I'm hungry, Qin Xiaoying, go and cook for me. Otherwise, I'll be angry with you and never talk to you again." Yingyu's cheeks were made angry by Qin Xiaoying's words Bulky, very funny and cute.

"Let me find out what to eat nearby." Qin Xiaoying also had no choice but to deal with this little elf. He was like a foodie all day long, and he would keep shouting hungry not long after eating.He picked some wild fungus and mushrooms, and picked up some branches, and wanted to make skewers.

"It's too vegetarian, right? And are you going to bake it again?" Yingyu was very dissatisfied.

Qin Xiaoying laughed angrily at her: "I don't have a cosmic bag, and I can't bring pots and pans. Here is the wilderness, where can I find those things? Is it possible to eat them raw without roasting them?"

"You said it earlier." Yingyu spun a few times in the air, rolled her eyes, and threw a universe bag to Qin Xiaoying. "No, this is a Qiankun bag, it can have a volume of about two square meters, enough for you to put your things in."

"Hey, why do you have this thing?" Qin Xiaoying wondered. "And even if there is a Qiankun bag, it's still empty inside. I can't make pots and bowls now."

[Dear player Qin Xiaoying, do you want to learn the primary skill "Ingenuity" of the craftsman?whether? 】

[Dear player Qin Xiaoying, do you want to learn the chef's primary skill "Paoding Jieniu", yes/no? 】

[Dear player Qin Xiaoying, do you want to learn the basic skill of collecting "lighting and cutting", yes/no? 】

The light curtain in Qin Xiaoying's eyes popped out three prompts at once, and he was stunned.

"Is it too late for what I'm learning now? And isn't it too much?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"For my great cause of beauty, of course you have to learn everything!" Yingyu put her hands on her hips, like a teacher.

"Why didn't you take it out earlier?" Qin Xiaoying was quite dissatisfied.

"Didn't you forget that I'm a mentor if you don't ask me?" Yingyu laughed dryly to hide her guilty conscience.

"Aside from pretending to eat, what else are you thinking about? Do you know any detoxification skills that you can teach me? Let me try to detoxify that woman?" Qin Xiaoying asked.

"Then don't think about it." Yingyu shook her head: "Poison science is quite complicated. You need to understand some medical and pharmacological principles, and you also need to master the knowledge of the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements. I don't know much about this. If you can find a set Relevant medical books, from the simple to the deep, I will be able to teach you this knowledge."

"Okay." Qin Xiaoying's hope was shattered.Fortunately, he is not easily discouraged, so he chose yes for all three skills.In his system, there are more [Life Skills] options.

[Cooking Level 1]: Simply learn to fry, stir-fry, cook, deep-fry, slip, pop, stir-fry, steam, burn, and cook.There is no special bonus for making dishes.Special recipes: None.Experience required to level up: 0/15.

[Skillful Craftsman Level 1]: Special item production, none.Experience required to level up: 0/5.

[Collection Level 1]: Elementary picking skills.Experience required to level up, 0/30.

Yingyu knew that Qin Xiaoying didn't understand, so she taught him little by little. "First of all, the number behind is the skill experience value. You will only get the corresponding experience value when you make an item that meets the conditions. For example, if you make a simple dish, the experience value will increase by 1 point. To create a primary item, The experience value will increase by 1 point."

Qin Xiaoying understood the trick: "That is to say, the level of my life skills is related to the quantity of items I make?" He immediately thought of an opportunistic way, that is to keep making low-level items so that his own Can't the skills be upgraded soon?
"It's related, but not quite related."

"what?"

"For example, when you make a clay pot at level 1, the experience value will increase slightly by 1 point. But if you make a flawless clay pot, the experience value will increase to 1 points. To upgrade to level 2, you need to make 2 clay pots Jar or 3 flawless clay jars can increase the experience value by 2 point. But when you reach level 1, no matter how many clay jars you make, the experience value will not increase again. You need to make wooden jars, or follow Other players exchange production blueprints to learn a deeper level of item production, and then the experience value will increase again." Yingyu explained.

"...It sounds so troublesome, who designed this?" Qin Xiaoying stuck out his tongue, but then he became interested, thinking that he would be idle anyway, and learning one more craft would be better than starving himself to death in the future.

Because it is close to the river, there is a lot of good river mud on the river beach, which is a good material for making mud products.He went to dig some and made some clay bowls and a clay pot.And because he made a clay bowl of flawless quality, the artisan level was raised to level 2 all at once.

"If we can quickly dry out the water in this clay pot, we can start cooking." He said regretfully.

"What's so difficult about it." In an instant, Qin Xiaoying felt a gust of scorching hot wind blowing over his face, and Yingyu completed the dehydration of those clay bowls and clay pots.Curiously, I tapped it a few times with my fingers, and found that these utensils had become extremely strong.

"What kind of spell is this?" Qin Xiaoying wondered.

"Small magic tricks, not worth mentioning, you will learn it too." Yingyu waved her little fist at him a little.

After solving the problem of utensils, the rest is the meat that Yingyu requested.

Tangjiabao has been barren for a long time, and snakes and rats appear in the grass from time to time.But Yingyu has some shadows about these guys, and feels that these things can't be made into delicious food, so she doesn't let Qin Xiaoying catch them.

"But there's nothing nearby to grab." Qin Xiaoying scratched his head.

Perhaps hearing his voice, a boar poked its head out of the bushes.There are sharp and sharp fangs in the mouth, which are white like sickles.Hearing the sound here, he looked here vigilantly.

When Yingyu saw the boar, she yelled, "That's it!"

Qin Xiaoying did not have a weapon at this time, and said with a wry smile: "This is a wild boar." When he was in Wangliu Town, the hunter in the town was almost killed by a wild boar, so he suffered from a waist injury and couldn't do it for several months bed.

According to the hunter, the boar's skin is thick, and the black mane on its body seems to be coated with oil, and ordinary hunting bows can't pierce its skin at all.In order to kill wild boars, there is no other way but to have sharp weapons.

"I'll teach you a trick."

[Respected player Qin Xiaoying, do you want to learn the Taoism "Law of Fire", yes/no? "

Skill introduction: [The Fire of Liaoyuan], Dao Yuan consumption: 3 Dao Yuan, after gaining momentum, it will cause 10 points of damage to the enemy on the path of 120 meters in front.Current skill level: Level 1.

Qin Xiaoying chose yes without hesitation.

"How to do it?" Although Qin Xiaoying had learned this move, he didn't know how to do it.

"Calling the name of the move, thinking about Dao Yuan's appearance in his heart, urging Dao Yuan, the move will naturally come out."

"What is Dao Yuan?" Qin Xiaoying was a little at a loss.

"Did you see your character's status bar? The red one is the blood volume, and the blue one is the mana bar, which is Daoyuan!" Yingyu said.

Qin Xiaoying saw the blue mana bar with the words 100/100 on the light curtain in his eyes.So according to Yingyu's words, Dao Yuan was urged, and then said softly: "The fire of the prairie fire!"

A flame emanated from the fingertips. Because he was too impatient and didn't aim, he hit a stone not far away, instantly burning the stone red.

Qin Xiaoying was overjoyed, this is the magical way?Is it considered that I have learned Taoism now?
The boar was taken aback by Qin Xiaoying's sudden shot, thinking that this human being set fire anywhere, and he was not particular about it.So his temper came up, he scratched the ground a few times with his hind legs, and rushed forward with his strength.

"Be careful!" Yingyu reminded.

Qin Xiaoying didn't panic, but did the same thing, pointing his index finger at the wild boar: "The fire of the prairie fire!"

The wild boar came quickly, but Qin Xiaoying was not slow to perform the Taoism, and actually set the mane on the boar's body on fire.

The wild boar was in pain, and hit more urgently.At a distance of more than ten meters, Qin Xiaoying came to Qin Xiaoying in an instant.

Qin Xiaoying couldn't dodge in time, and was knocked out by the boar.Qin Xiaoying barely adjusted his posture in mid-air, half-kneeling on the ground.The fire on the boar's body burned his tattered clothes, so he tore off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body.He frowned slightly, the trick he just learned didn't work on boars?
"Oh, how embarrassing." Yingyu covered her eyes, not daring to look.But he couldn't help but open his fingers, glanced secretly, and couldn't help but blush.

"Is this boar all right?" Qin Xiaoying shouted.

"Look at its health bar." Yingyu reminded.

It was only then that Qin Xiaoying discovered that the wild boar actually had blood, and his own technique just now only cut half of its blood.

"A prairie fire!" Another blow hit.The wild boar screamed and fell to the ground.

"Yeah, let's start the banquet." Yingyu smiled happily.

Qin Xiaoying found a sharp stone the size of a palm, skinned and bled the boar, and cut out a piece of pork belly that was half fat and half thin.Then he picked up some dry firewood and lit a fire to cook boar pork.

First use a piece of fat meat to refine the oil, then throw the lean meat into the clay pot and fry it several times to see the color of the meat change.Put the river water to stew.After a while, the smell of meat wafted out.

"It smells good." Yingyu twitched her nose a few times in satisfaction.

Qin Xiaoying threw the processed pork into the Qiankun bag and added some firewood from time to time.

After another half an hour, the pork was almost ready, so I put some mushrooms in it.The aroma of mushrooms and meat is mouth-watering.

At this time, he checks that the cooking skill experience has increased by 1 point, and he gets a hint: he has learned the recipe: "wild wild pork".

"It seems that cooking can really gain experience, but I don't know what's the use." He put down the pot, but couldn't help frowning: "We have used up all the seasonings on our bodies, it smells good, but it doesn't taste salty .”

When Yingyu heard this, she also became melancholy: "Then what should I do?"

At this time, a person appeared beside them unceremoniously, "What a good thing you made, it smells so good. Can you give me a bowl?"

Looking intently, it was a fat man in Taoist robes, his head was covered with sweat, his eyes fixed on the freshly stewed boar pork.

"It's okay, it's okay, but there is no seasoning, I'm afraid it won't taste good."

"Seasoning? I have it here." The fat man immediately took out seven or eight large and small bottles from his cosmos bag.

"This is light soy sauce, this is table salt, this is dark soy sauce, this is chili oil, and this is pepper noodles..." He introduced them one by one.

"Salt is fine." Qin Xiaoying didn't understand what soy sauce was, so he picked up a small bottle of salt and put a few spoonfuls into it.

"Put some more pepper noodles and chili oil." The fat man handed Qin Xiaoying two more bottles.

Qin Xiaoying didn't show any timidity, and also put some in.

After a while, the aroma became stronger.He filled the pot with food and gave Yingyu and Fatty a bowl each.

The fat man ate and drank a bowl in an instant, and asked for another bowl unceremoniously.Qin Xiaoying saw that he was eating well, and asked, "Where did you come from, brother?"

The fat man didn't bother to talk, he just ate the meat in the bowl, and kept looking into the pot.

The fat man ate four more bowls before he stopped.

"It's a pity." The fat man said.

"What a pity?" After Yingyu ate a bowl, she stopped eating.It's not because it's not delicious, but because the fat man is so edible that he ate all the meat and soup that the two of them made.

"It's a pity that although this pot of broth is delicious, the utensils are too poor to match this pot of broth." The fat man pulled out a shred of meat from between his teeth, put it in his mouth and chewed vigorously.

"You still have to thank me." Fatty was a little complacent, raised his legs half up, and said, patting his belly.

"You ate our broth, and you still want us to thank you?" Yingyu felt that the fat man must be crazy.

"Of course, if it wasn't for my seasoning, how could you have such a pot of delicious broth?"

"This brother is right. If it wasn't for the seasoning, the broth would have been ruined."

The fat man's eyes lit up: "Unexpectedly, you are still a sensible person. I mean, the person who can make such delicious food must be my confidant. Brother, what's your name?"

"Qin Xiaoying."

When the fat Taoist priest heard the name, he couldn't hold his breath. He spit out his airway, his face turned red, and he coughed uncontrollably.

"Qin...Qin Xiaoying? Dude, you are crazy enough to dare to name yourself that."

"Is this a bad name?" Qin Xiaoying was puzzled.

"That's not to say it's not good, but this name is too famous, so famous that if you call this name, countless people will trouble you."

At this point, it seems that waiting too long is too boring.Jade Butterfly managed to find it, and when she saw the fat man, she was a little dissatisfied: "Why did you come here so slowly?"

"Sister, after receiving your letter, I rushed here non-stop, without stopping for a moment on the road. Also, what's going on with Qin Xiaoying?" The fat man changed the topic.

"Never mind your business." Jade Butterfly said lightly. "Teach him some Taoism."

"Has he enlightened?" The fat man was puzzled.

"He ate a Dao Enlightenment Pill that you refined."

"My elixir is naturally the best in the world."

"He didn't respond."

"What?" The fat man looked dull. "You mean, my pill didn't work?"

"No, what I mean is that he has already enlightened, that's why he didn't have any reaction after taking the Enlightenment Pill."

"But I saw him as a novice."

"That's why you are needed to teach him. I don't understand about you players. Before he gets to Xirong, he can't be worse than you."

"Then you kill me." The fat man was lying on the ground, rolling around. "I'm not a novice instructor. Besides, I don't know how to teach people."

"You think I dare not kill you?" Jade Butterfly sneered. "Three meals of Xirong barbecue."

"Four meals."

"Deal." Jade Butterfly nodded: "Going forward, it will be inconvenient for me to take him with me, and there will be many eyes and ears. Your goal with him is a little smaller. He has been poisoned by my thoughtlessness, which poisons me. Remember you know how to cure it, you give him an antidote every day at Yin time and noon time."

"I think I've lost money." The fat man whispered.

"Then I don't care. I'll go back to Xirong first, and you will take him back to Xirong within half a month."

"Okay..." The fat man lowered his head.However, Qin Xiaoying clearly saw the sly light shining in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jade Butterfly finished speaking and left.The fat man seemed to remember something, and yelled: "Toll, you didn't leave us any toll!"

But Jade Butterfly is obviously not interested in considering how to solve their travel expenses.

The fat man sat down on the ground in a slump, "Grandma, are you asking me to pay for it at my own expense again? Isn't that the way to cheat big money?"
