I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Chapter 5 The End of Life: The Third Ray of Qi and Blood
  At the entrance of Linshui Street, Lin Xuankong walked through the crowd carrying a load.

While walking, he carefully observed the situation around him. Although he was not completely sure whether Ma Xiong and Zhang Wu were going to deal with him, he hardly relaxed for a moment while walking back from the inner city.

It's not that he is too cautious, but after so many days of continuous practice, he has a chance to get started with Songhe Kung Fu. If the boat overturns in the gutter at this time, it will be a big injustice!

At this moment, there are many pedestrians on both sides of the road.

There were wealthy young men in fine clothes and brocade boots walking leisurely with their servants.

There are also beggars in tattered clothes, carrying a broken bowl, and their faces covered with mud, hunched over and begging on the roadside.

However, it is rare to see women walking on the street. Occasionally, I see two or three, and they are all sitting in small sedans. This has always been the case in Daxia. Except for a few festival days, most women do not go out or take a second step. , rarely show up in public!
  What made Lin Xuankong feel a little relaxed was the Taoist priest in green shirt who occasionally passed by the roadside.

As far as he knew, these Taoists all came from the Yin Fu Sect. The Yin Fu Sect and the Black Tiger Gang had always been at odds with each other. In the territory of the Yin Fu Sect, the Black Tiger Gang should not kill people in public!

Lin Xuankong chose this street to go home precisely because of this.

Seeing that he had walked more than half of the Linshui Long Street, and still had two miles to go back to Wutong, Lin Xuankong, who had walked for more than an hour, touched his belly. As his body became stronger and stronger, the consumption also increased. getting bigger. I ate five or six pancakes in the morning, but it’s not even noon yet, and I’m actually hungry!

He walked towards a roadside stall selling chive pies. The last time he passed by Linshui Street, Lin Xuankong gritted his teeth and bought a few chive pies, intending to improve the food.

When I got home, my little lady actually ate all the chive pie in several bites. She actually loved eating chive-filled pie just like me!

Recalling the way Li Xiaolan was still unsatisfied after eating the pie, she used her little tongue to eat the chopped chives on her fingers, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but smile.

In the blink of an eye, he secretly sighed again and lived by himself, which made the snack food suffer!
  "Here are six pies!" Lin Xuankong gritted his teeth, took out six copper coins from his waist, and placed them on the table.

"Okay!" The old man who made the pies quickly wrapped six pies in oil paper and handed them over.

Lin Xuankong was about to reach out to pick it up, but suddenly he was in a trance, and the things in front of him started to spin.

He was startled and staggered, pressing his hands on the table to prevent him from falling to the ground on the spot.

After a few breaths passed, the fuzzy feeling gradually dissipated.

Lin Xuankong, who was gradually returning to normal, frowned. This kind of sign that his life was about to end, this kind of inexplicable trance, was becoming more and more frequent. It only happened a few times in the evening before, but now it's not yet noon. It started to appear
  The voice of the old pie man next to him was a little panicked, "Brother, brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little hungry!" Lin Xuankong took a deep breath, took the pie, and walked towards Wutongli.

The old man selling the pie looked at Lin Xuankong's back and couldn't help but shook his head.

"This old man from the Lin family who sells cooking cakes, I saw him carrying dozens of kilograms of cooking cakes a few days ago, and he could still carry the wind while walking. Why did he almost fall down today for no reason? I heard that he married a little daughter-in-law. Isn’t it alas, the word “sex” has a knife on its head!”

"Squeaky"

After pushing open the wooden door and entering the wooden building, Lin Xuankong breathed a sigh of relief.

He placed the load beside the door and touched the still warm pie in his arms. He was about to call the foodie lady down to enjoy her meal, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the wooden table outside.

On the wooden table, there was a food box and a dozen snacks wrapped in kraft paper. There was red paper on the kraft paper with three big characters on it: Guhefang.

Furukawabo is the most famous dim sum shop in Osawa Prefecture. It is said that it has been open for more than 200 years.
  The cheapest dim sum from Furukawabo costs tens of taels of silver. Only the nobles in the inner city can afford it. Those on the table may cost ten taels of silver to buy!
  Who would send over such expensive snacks? Lin Xuankong was a little surprised,
  I didn’t have any relatives who could afford Furukawabo’s sweets!

He walked over, took a look at the snacks, and then opened the food box.
  The aroma immediately hit my nostrils, and there was a braised pork knuckle on the first floor of the food box. This pork knuckle was obviously carefully cooked by a skilled chef! On the lower floors, there are also delicacies that are full of color, flavor, and taste. They are delicacies that ordinary people in Daze Prefecture will never eat once in their lives!

Lin Xuankong's face became even more surprised. There were snacks and delicious food.
  "No stealing!" A crisp voice sounded from behind.

Lin Xuankong turned his head, and sure enough, it was Li Xiaolan standing behind him silently again.

"Did you buy all of these?" Lin Xuankong looked at the delicacies and snacks on the table, and then touched the oil paper bag in his arms with some embarrassment.

"How can I have the money to buy such expensive snacks!" Li Xiaolan shook her head, "The eldest lady is going to be out of town for a while, so she came here to see me today."

She was holding a piece of snack with her slender fingers, and there were still some broken snacks stuck to the corners of her mouth.
  “The eldest lady bought these snacks for me!

That food box was sent over by a servant sent by Mrs. Wang from the clothing store. She said that she was entertaining guests at home and ordered too many dishes, so she sent a box over! That lady is a little strange, she actually understands my taste! ” ˆ ˆ Miss Huang family’s eldest daughter and Li Xiaolan have been together since childhood. It’s normal for master and servant to have a deep love!

"How could Mrs. Wang be so kind?" Lin Xuankong asked a little strangely.

"She said those handkerchiefs I embroidered were sold at her place. They were very popular among the women in the inner city and made her a lot of money! What do you think, I'm awesome!"

Li Xiaolan took a bite of the snack and felt quite proud.

Lin Xuankong looked at the little lady's proud look and couldn't help but laugh, "Awesome, the little lady is both civil and military, of course she is great!"

Just thinking of the pie he bought specifically for her in his arms made him feel a little sad.

So he walked towards his room, "I'm a little tired, let's go in and lie down for a while."

The delicacies in the food box can be exchanged for thousands of pies! He pushed open the wooden door, thinking so in his heart.

"Stop!" Li Xiaolan's voice suddenly tightened.

Lin Xuankong was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw Li Xiaolan approaching him, sniffing his chest with her delicate little nose, and then raised her eyebrows.
  "This is the taste of leek pie! You bought a leek pie and you actually want to eat it in your own room?"

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuankong felt that his chest was empty, and the oil paper bag in his arms had been taken out by Li Xiaolan.
  Li Xiaolan squeezed the oil paper bag and said with a bad expression, "There are still six chive pies! You actually want to eat six of them? Humph, they are all mine!"

After saying that, she grabbed the oil paper bag and walked upstairs. After walking a few steps, she shook the oil paper bag in her hand proudly and said, "For the sake of your hard work and six leek pies, that food box The food is yours!"

Lin Xuankong looked surprised,
  Not even a leek pie left for me?

He turned to look at the food box on the table, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and laughed, what a little lady of his.
  "This is the most sumptuous meal I have ever eaten since time travel!"

“Usually, I either eat pancakes or pickles, or steamed buns with sorghum noodles and vegetables. Occasionally I can only buy half a kilogram of male pork!
  My little lady is good at embroidery, and she has benefited from it, which has made my stomach easier! "

After eating half of the pork knuckle, half of the prawns braised in oil, and a few pancakes, and drinking two bowls of soup to fill his joints, Lin Xuankong patted his slightly bulging belly and returned to his room.

The food tastes delicious... Unfortunately, due to old age, not only are many teeth missing in the mouth, but the few teeth that are left have such big gaps that they can be stuffed with soft and waxy pork knuckles!

I don’t know if there will be a chance to grow good teeth again after the Songhe Life Extension Kung Fu reaches a higher level.
  This Songhe Life Extension Technique can even extend your life span. Once you practice it to a high level, you should be able to grow dazzling white teeth!
  With this thought in his mind, Lin Xuankong suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
  A feeling of suffocation came over him, and he quickly leaned on the bed, not daring to move any more.

After ten breaths, the feeling of extreme depression disappeared, but Lin Xuankong still had lingering fears.

These signs that life is about to end are becoming more and more frequent.
  You must hold on, as long as you get through today, you will have a chance to learn Songhe Gong tomorrow. If you fail at this time, you will really not be willing to accept it!

After thinking about it, he simply opened the quilt, and an old man got under the quilt and got in.

This afternoon and evening, I just lay down and didn't go anywhere, so as not to accidentally suffer a cerebral hemorrhage after I went out!

In a daze, he fell asleep,
  In the meantime, Li Xiaolan came over and saw that he was sleeping soundly, so she didn't ask him to get up for dinner.
  “Bang bang bang bang~~~~~
  It’s freezing cold, be careful to keep warm”

At the fourth watch, the watchman's emotional voice sounded not far from the street.

Lin Xuankong, who was lying on the bed, groaned and woke up from the extreme depression.

The suffocating feeling was like someone sealing his mouth and nose with cement, which made his eyesight keep getting dark.
  He opened his mouth and breathed hard, but he still couldn't feel any relief.

Tens of breaths later, when Lin Xuankong almost fainted, the feeling subsided. At this moment, Lin Xuankong was already covered in cold sweat, his face was pale, and his lips were a little purple!

After calming down for a while, Lin Xuankong, who was feeling cold all over, did not dare to hesitate. He put a piece of clothing on his body, sat on the edge of the bed, and carefully performed the mental and breathing techniques of the Songhe Life Extension Kung Fu.

After the first exercise of Songhe Life Extension Kung Fu was completed, it was not much different from the past.
  The second Songhe Life Extension Technique had just started to work, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in Lin Xuankong's slightly closed eyes.
  He sensed that a third wave of Songhe's transformation energy and blood appeared in his body.

At first, this qi and blood was still a little weak. With the movement of the mind, this qi and blood gradually took shape.

It gradually merged with the two previous streams of mortal energy and blood, and became quite strong. Then, with an extremely vigorous vitality, it quickly circulated in every flesh and blood of his body, nourishing deeply. Those hidden wounds and chronic diseases in the body!
  He guided the Songhe Mortal Qi and blood to flow throughout his body, and then he suddenly discovered that the body's flesh and blood were constantly changing with slight tremors, and were constantly impacting towards a limit.
