You won’t be afraid if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and cultivate immortality

After Musk came out from bathing and changing clothes, he was led by his old acquaintance Qian Jun to a slightly larger house. After stepping over the threshold, there was a large Eight Immortals table, and then he saw the little carrot heads in the corner squatting or standing curiously. They formed a circle and chattered non-stop.

Musk understood clearly at a glance. It turned out to be the offspring of the demon bird given to the Jun brothers and sisters. Now that it is almost two months old, it has obviously grown a lot. It looks similar to Da Hui, one of the four hegemons in the village. Geese are about the same size, with slightly different claws and beaks.

"Senior Aunt, Senior Aunt, please call the big sand sculpture down and fight with this little sand sculpture, who is more powerful?" Xiao Zhao Yun on the side did not forget to watch a battle between two birds.

"exactly."

"Yes Yes Yes."

………….

Several little guys were very interested in who would win and who would lose, and they all expressed their opinions one after another, and the discussion continued.

………….

This large house also had an inner room, which was used as a tea room. Jun Xiangru accompanied Uncle Jia and Zhao Youcai and had a pleasant conversation with a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Seeing Musk coming in, Jun Xiangru hurriedly introduced him. It turned out that this Confucian scholar was Lin Xiangru, who was also secretly transferred by the old emperor to assist him.

The people selected by the old emperor were unquestionable in terms of ability and character, and their talents and learning were even more outstanding.

There is less of the sour and rotten atmosphere of Confucianism and ignorance of worldly affairs, and there is much more flexibility and innovation. When you are above, you can sit down with the king, and when you are below, you can work with the farmers.

Although Musk has lived to be almost forty years old, he still has the mentality of a young boy and is really not good at recognizing people and things, so he has always been able to only uphold the principle that people should treat me with courtesy and I should treat others with sincerity.

It can be observed through words that Lin Xiangru was also a learned man with a beautiful heart and compassion for all living beings.

It can be seen from the few words he exclaims from time to time that the knowledge of world affairs is all knowledge, and the understanding of human feelings is all articles.

Such as:

"The prosperity of the people will be bitter, and the destruction of the people will also be bitter."

"Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world."

"To seek a peaceful and prosperous age for the people of the world.

"..."

After several people drank a pot of new tea, old general Lian Po arrived belatedly.

Wearing light casual clothes, he looked restrained, like the grandpa next door, without any hint of the fierce aura of a veteran on the battlefield.

When everyone arrived, Jun Xiangru signaled to the guards serving on the side, Wanma, to tell people to pass on the food.

In order to entertain guests from afar, today is an exception and we have dinner early in the morning.

Before the dishes were served, he brought two jars of fine rice wine sealed with clay, which made the old man Lian Po happily say: "Hahaha, thanks to our distinguished guests, I have never known the taste of wine since I entered this valley. The wine bugs inside are all starving to death.”

"General Lian, please have a few more drinks today." Jun Xiangru also joked with a smile.

"Now that the prince has spoken, I naturally have to drink a few more drinks." The old man raised his nose and showed his straightforward character to the fullest.

Soon, several chefs from the original prince's palace served a dazzling array of delicacies with various dishes on the table. Regardless of whether they were delicious or not, just looking at the presentation made me want to eat.

Looking at this large table makes people salivate. The various dishes that are fried, fried, boiled and stewed are all delicious and delicious. These greedy little carrot heads stopped looking at the little sand sculptures and looked eagerly at the plates of delicious food.

In the middle is a plate of tender and juicy braised pork, alternately fat and thin, bright red in color and exuding an alluring aroma. Once you take a bite, you can taste the meaty flavor of crispy braised pork wrapped in rich sauce.

Nearby is a steamed fish dish. The fish meat is tender and delicate and steamed just right. A layer of chopped green onion and shredded ginger sprinkled on top adds a hint of fragrance. With every bite of the sauce, you can feel the sweetness of the fish and the lightness of the steamed vegetables.

A dish stolen from Musk's recipe: stir-fried shrimps. The shrimps are tender and juicy, fried until they are crispy and delicious. Sprinkle some minced garlic and cilantro on top to enhance the overall texture and flavor. You can feel the deliciousness of the shrimp and the spiciness of the stir-fry in every bite.

The dish next to it also looks very familiar, and it comes from Musk's recipe: sweet and sour pork ribs. The ribs are fried until golden and crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. A layer of sweet and sour sauce is poured on top, which is sour and sweet. You can feel the crispiness of the ribs and the sweetness of the sweet and sour sauce in every bite.

A roasted golden leg of lamb and a roasted rabbit that looked delicious.

The appetizer is a large plate of salted broad beans.

Plus a large platter of seasonal vegetables and fruits.

Finally, there is a bowl of hot and sour soup, which contains tofu, fungus, eggs and other ingredients, sprinkled with green onions, which is sour and appetizing.

The staple food is a large basket of steamed cakes.

Although these are not delicacies, they are like works of art after the chef's skillful cooking and careful presentation.

When the dishes were served, Jun Xiangru, as the host, invited everyone to sit down, and a large table happened to be packed.

Old General Lian Po opened the wine seal, and the aged rice wine also had a unique taste.

The adults sat on one side, and the little carrots sat on the other side. Those who were not tall enough squatted directly on the bench, staring at the dish they wanted to take the first bite.

"Come on, come on, pour the wine." The old general is indeed a veteran. Others use cups, but he directly uses a small bowl. His main purpose is to drink more and earn more.

Jun Xiangru greeted the banquet, and the boys, who were not afraid of the sky or the earth, started to compare hand speeds regardless of whether you were a prince or a general.

The girl is a little more reserved, but she is also carried away by the atmosphere, and she does not give in to men.

Just when a few people had finished their round of drinks, the sweet and sour pork ribs were all snatched up.

Seeing these lively children devouring their food, Old General Lian Po seemed to be thinking of something happy while drinking and smiled knowingly.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The little ones are also full, and the adults are getting acquainted with each other after drinking and exchanging cups and cups for a few times.

Drinking and eating meat, chatting and spanking, building relationships, whether it is an official or doing business, everyone is well versed in this.

After getting acquainted, the protagonist shifted from the prince Jun Xiangru to the old general Lian Po.

After all, there are many legendary stories about this veteran, and just telling a few of them will make everyone listen.

Especially Zhao Youcai, this guy is a total fan of the king. After all, Master Jiang said that his sons will be granted lordships and generals in the future. He must first understand how to become a general.

"Old general, come on, come on, let me toast you and tell us about the battles that you, a soldier, will never forget."

"Actually, you are not afraid of death. If you want to live, let me think about the unforgettable things!" Lian Po took a big sip and fell into memories.

"I am a disciple of the generals of the Daqian Kingdom. I started this way when I was twelve years old. I like to make friends with heroes and knights. At the age of thirteen, I went out on my own to practice. When I saw rough roads, I drew my sword to help. I have made many friends along the way with my martial arts that I have learned since I was a child. Friends in the world."

"At the age of fifteen, I had already traveled to most of the Great Qian Kingdom, and then when I returned home, I used connections to get me a job as a patrol agent in the county government. I thought I would be able to live happily until I grew old, but unexpectedly something happened. A strange thing happened that changed my life."

The old general took a sip of wine.

"I must have been almost sixteen at that time! I relied on my good martial arts skills to catch a few bandits who were causing harm to the village, and my family was somewhat prestigious in the local area, so I was successfully promoted to the position of chief catcher."

"One day I received a report from a village in the area beating drums, saying that several children in their village had been lost inexplicably in the past few days. If they were eaten by wild animals, at least there would be traces of blood. I mobilized the entire village to search, but found nothing. Sure enough, it could be that Ren Yazi kidnapped her and ran away. At that time, she was kneeling on the ground in front of the county government office looking for the villagers who couldn't find the child."

"The villagers around me who heard the news, including those with children, came to the county with their families to escape the disaster."

"The county magistrate was also very shocked when this happened. Finding people is also a matter for the police. The county magistrate ordered me to lead more than ten county police officers to detect the case, find the missing children, and restore safety to the people. "

"I quickly took people to investigate the cause. After careful questioning, I found no clues. No outsiders entered the village before the child was lost. The time when the child was lost was inconsistent. There were mornings, afternoons and nights, but there was no trace. I heard that the elders in the village suspected something was going on, but no blood or anything on the child was found.”

"I have been traveling for two years and heard a lot of strange things, so I felt that there must be something fishy about this matter. I hurried back to the county office and asked the county magistrate to ask for help. I also wrote a letter asking for help and went to my clan to serve in the county seat. The cousin of the school guard commander hopes that he will bring dozens of soldiers to help search the mountain and find out."

When it comes to this, the little carrots who originally listened to it as a story also pricked up their ears to listen.

"Just like that, two children in the village who did not come to the town to seek refuge from the trouble disappeared inexplicably that day. There were boys and girls, making a total of eleven children."

"On the second day when I was waiting for the county soldiers, three children disappeared from the next village. I knew I couldn't wait like this any longer, so I had to bite the bullet and go. I took all the county police officers and another old arrester and worked separately. He ran to various villages and squatted there."

"I have been waiting all day and all night and haven't found any clues. I'm hoping that the county soldiers will come. There are more people and more strength, but it's not good if I'm afraid of arousing the enemy."

"Discuss with the county magistrate and ask him to find a way to find a couple with a boy and a girl to use as bait. Relying on my popularity as a streetwalker when I was young, I also borrowed hunting dogs from the dandy gentry in the city who spend all their time recruiting cats and dogs. The price is to take them with you when you set off. After all, this is quite exciting to hear, and it can eliminate harm to the people in the county. Then they can also bring their servants and guardians to the mountains to help. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless!"

"In order not to arouse suspicion, special insect-repelling spices were hidden in the children's robes. Even if they arranged for people to keep watch for twelve hours, the two children still disappeared under their noses."

"Quickly lead the hunting dogs to track the location. Almost all the wealthy gentry in the county were dispatched when they heard about it. They were also very curious about what it was! The police officers and county soldiers, and the old and young men from the surrounding villages also joined the search team with hoes and sticks in their hands. Hundreds of people followed the hunting dogs into the mountains with this cheering formation."

"I stopped on the back of a mountain col that was devoid of sunlight all day more than ten miles away from the village. I remember that hundreds of people were silent at that time. It was obviously summer, but when I stepped there, I felt the biting cold."

"We're all here. We still have to find out whether it's a human or a ghost. Ten county soldiers led a dozen family members of the missing children. They gathered torches to resist the cold air and walked in with their hunting dogs."

"Sure enough, they walked forward a hundred feet and found a cave. They quickly ordered people to surround the entrance of the cave. The traces of the digging were obviously man-made, so they didn't need to be afraid. They braved the cold and entered the cave carefully to take a look."

At the critical moment, the old general actually betrayed himself. However, I caught a glimpse of the expressions on the faces of the children who were eager to talk, so I took a sip of wine to moisten my throat and continued narrating.

"When you enter the cave, there is a hall and a ladder extending downward. The direction the hunting dog belt is pointing to should be right below."

"Gather soldiers and policemen, leaving ten soldiers on top to seal the entrance of the cave, and ten outside to prevent any accomplices from breaking in for rescue. The remaining soldiers and policemen led the young men in the village, as well as the sons of the gentry who came to join in the fun. and their entourage. Almost a hundred people in total.”

"I walked down for a hundred feet with a torch, and a huge hall appeared. Later I found out that it was about the size of a school ground. Anyway, it was pitch dark all around when I went down, and the torch could only illuminate a short distance away. Then I heard a scary laugh. , howling like a ghost."

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"It scared everyone so much. After the panic, there was a scene of someone being killed. It was the first time I saw such a miserable death. I didn't even know whether it was a human or a ghost. Fortunately, the county soldiers were well-trained. , the cooperation was okay and the situation was stabilized quickly.”

"Everyone raised the torches high to illuminate it, and finally found the person in the dark corner in the distance. The person was as skinny as firewood, wearing a black robe. He looked very strange, but there was a shadow. Since he was not a ghost, he still dared to kill people. There were several county soldiers If you can't hold it back, you might want to grab the credit, and if you rush forward but are incompetent, you will either be kicked to the ground and scream, or your neck will be strangled by the man in black robes."

"Several fathers who had lost their children picked up sticks and wanted to rush forward, but were crushed to death by the man in black. This bloody scene scared most people to death, and of course it also aroused the bloodiness of some people. "

"The first person to rush up was not a person, but a hunting dog. No one expected the ferocity of this black dog. He was caught off guard and bit the man's trouser leg, making blood dripping. The next moment, the dog was covered in a black ball. He fell to the ground, convulsed and died due to the fog.”

Seeing this, the county soldiers equipped with bows and arrows drew their bows and shot arrows. However, the man in black was covered in black mist and was as solid as armor. The arrows could not get close to him. When they hit the black mist, they fell to the ground as if they were invulnerable.

The servants brought by the noble gentry's disciples to protect the courtyard drew their weapons and swarmed forward at the master's shouts, dancing wildly.

These people were originally Cao Mang or Rangers who were wandering around the world. They were people from all three religions and nine schools. To say that they have superior martial arts skills is to fool people, but everyone knows one thing well. Two fists are difficult to beat with four hands, and a random stick can kill a master. , all tried their own unique skills, but none worked. The fair-weather monk who followed later easily dispersed the black mist with a Zen staff.

The man in black robes received a solid blow from the stick. Against the backdrop of the torch, his pale face looked even more frightening.
