On the self-cultivation of a foodie

Jiang Haiyan was obsessed with delicious food, and it was not until the night was getting dark and the tourists were getting less and less that he reluctantly went back to the hotel with Shen Heqing.

When they walked to the door of Shen Heqing's room, they met Zhong Pinglun who came back at some time outside the door.

"What are you doing standing at the door?" Jiang Haiyan looked at Zhong Pinglun standing at the door of Shen Heqing's room looking around, and raised his eyebrows in doubt.

Zhong Pinglun touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "Just now when I came back with the teleportation talisman, I was accidentally seen by a mortal."

"Has he been seen? That person in the room now?" Jiang Haiyan remembered that they hadn't told Zhong Pinglun of Zheng Yijia's existence yet, and blinked immediately, "He's awake? It doesn't matter, just knock him out again."

The corner of Zhong Pinglun's mouth twitched: "Stunned? I thought he was your friend."

"How is it possible," Jiang Haiyan shrugged, "Can my friend just throw it on the ground?"

Zhong Pinglun: "... makes sense."

"But he seems to regard me as a ghost." Zhong Pinglun touched his nose and added, "Then I ran out. Since he is not your friend, forget it."

"He didn't come out, did he?" Jiang Haiyan wasn't worried that Zheng Yijia would discover the existence of the realm of comprehension. After all, it was impossible for ordinary people to associate it casually. At most, they thought it was haunted. "If he ran away, it would be quite difficult." of."

Zhong Pinglun shook his head: "No, there seems to be no movement in the room."

Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing looked at each other, and Shen Heqing took out his room card and opened the door clearly.

But at this time in the room, Zheng Yijia was still lying on the ground, while Mu Shuiteng squatted in front of Zheng Yijia with a look of bewilderment.

However, compared to the previous appearance, Zheng Yijia not only had his eyes closed, but also his face was pale, as if he had been frightened by something, while Mu Shuiteng was stunned, as if he was a little at a loss.

Seeing that Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing had returned, Mu Shuiteng scratched the back of his head and explained nervously: "Yes, I'm sorry... I don't know..."

Jiang Haiyan kicked Zheng Yijia's ass with his toes, then he raised his head and asked Mu Shuiteng, "What happened just now?"

Mu Shuiteng scratched the back of his head, and said blankly: "Just now I used the prototype to take a bath in the bathroom...he suddenly ran in...then shouted a monster and ran out..."

Having said that, Mu Shuiteng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He has always regarded Zheng Yijia as a friend, even if he was killed by Zheng Yijia once, he still can't hate Zheng Yijia, of course he has never hated anyone... But he is still a little sad to be regarded as a monster by his friends, even if Former friends.

"...Am I really that scary?" He asked Jiang Haiyan blankly.

Jiang Haiyan stroked his chin and imagined the scene, and immediately understood.

He was a little shocked when he first saw the original shape of Mu Shuiteng. After all, although jellyfish are common, giant jellyfish are not common. G City is a city near the sea, and many people in G City often see jellyfish washed up by waves on the beach. They were used to seeing jellyfish, but if they rushed into a jellyfish as big as the original form of Mushuivine, it would definitely cause a huge panic.

No matter what kind of animal, once it becomes many times larger than people's cognition, it will arouse people's fear and become a "monster" in people's mouth.

However, Jiang Haiyan patted Mu Shuiteng's shoulder and comforted him: "Actually, it's a bit cute...at least it looks delicious."

Mu Shuiteng's expression was still a bit disappointed, but he continued: "I saw that I scared him, so I changed back into a human form...then went out to find him...but when he saw me in human form...he immediately I fainted from fright..."

He looked blank: "Is my human form also scary?"

Jiang Haiyan: "..."

He could already imagine the scene just now. Poor Zheng Yijia finally thought that he had got rid of the "monster", but when he turned around, he saw the person he had killed with his own hands reappear in front of him. No matter how strong his heart was, he was still safe The ground will faint from fright...Of course, Zheng Yijia doesn't deserve his sympathy at all, after all, this guy is completely self-inflicted and guilty.

"Actually..." Jiang Haiyan paused. He stared at Mu Shuiteng's face for a while, but he couldn't find anything to brag about, because no matter how he looked at it, Mu Shuiteng was just an ordinary-looking person. That's all, not even the "cute" that is forced to boast, "He's just a guilty conscience, don't worry about him."

Mu Shuiteng lowered his head with a look of disappointment.

"By the way," Jiang Haiyan suddenly thought of something, "When we found this guy today, he was in a bar with no luggage around him, and you don't know where your documents and luggage are. It seems that we can only wait for him next time." I asked him when I woke up."

Mu Shuiteng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

At this moment, Shen Heqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "When you were with Zheng Yijia before, did you see him meeting any suspicious guy?"

"Suspicious guy?" Mu Shuiteng blinked, he thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't know."

Jiang Haiyan rubbed his chin, the suspicious guy Shen Heqing said of course refers to the demon cultivator who is entangled with Zheng Yijia, that demon cultivator has obviously had contact with Zheng Yijia for a long time, but even if Mu Shuiteng has no brains, he is still a certain A Taoist demon cultivator, if there is a demon cultivator watching around, he can't be unaware... In this case, either the demon cultivator's cultivation base is unpredictable, or there is some magic weapon that hides the breath on the demon cultivator's body .

Shen Heqing frowned slightly, and asked again: "Did he go out often during the few days he stayed with you?"

Mu Shuiteng thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "He seemed to go to the concert every day a few days ago, but he was originally playing the piano..."

"A concert?" Jiang Haiyan touched his chin, "Whose concert?"

Mu Shuiteng scratched his face in embarrassment: "I don't know him either, I don't listen to music very much."

Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing looked at each other, then turned their heads and patted Mu Shuiteng's shoulder: "We know, I'm afraid you will have to stay in this room for a few days, and there is a demon cultivator watching over you." you."

"There is another demon cultivator? What's going on?" Zhong Pinglun, who was on the side, heard it, and his eyes widened.

Jiang Haiyan shrugged, and narrated the whole incident from beginning to end. At the end, he concluded: "Those two demon cultivators should be in the same group, and their target should be Mu Shuiteng. They acted separately, and one secretly confused Zheng Yijia's mentality allowed Zheng Yijia to attack Mu Shuiteng to weaken Mu Shuiteng. Mu Shuiteng was defenseless against Zheng Yijia, so Zheng Yijia succeeded, and the other magic repair should have planned to take advantage of Mu Shuiteng's weak state to attack Mu Shuiteng. Mu Shuiteng attacked, seriously injured Mu Shuiteng and snatched Mu Shuiteng's demon pill, but we messed up the plan by accident. Now another magic cultivator found that his companion had missed. Come to your door." After all, Moxiu never stops until he achieves his goal.

"This...is a bit strange," Zhong Pinglun touched his smooth chin meaningfully while listening, "The demon cultivator has always relied on his strength to act alone, but now the two demon cultivators have started to join forces, which is really strange gone."

Shen Heqing was silent for a while, then suddenly said lightly: "Maybe there is a leader among them."

"Stop talking! This is really scary!" Zhong Pinglun suddenly frowned, "A single demonic cultivator is scary enough, if all the demonic cultivators unite, we cultivators will just play with wool and go back to our hometown to grow sweet potatoes. .”

As he talked, Zhong Pinglun became worried. Although the demon cultivators have been a threat to their comprehension world for so many years, they have never been successful. The most important reason for this is that although each of the demon cultivators is very powerful, However, the power has been scattered and cannot be condensed. No matter how noisy a demon cultivator is, they can play a battle of human sea tactics in the cultivation world. If everyone fights together, you will be exhausted.

Most demon cultivators rely on their strength and pride, so naturally no one will submit to others, and they are unwilling to be inferior to others, but if a powerful demon cultivator with overwhelming absolute strength appears, he will kill a bloody path among those unruly demon cultivators , To convince everyone, it seems that it is not impossible to become this leader.

More than 1000 years ago, such a powerful demon once appeared in the magic cultivator.That devil possessed absolute strength above all demon cultivators, turned the world of self-cultivation upside down, and even wiped out the Kunlun Sect, the number one sect in the world of self-cultivation back then. Playing in the palm of your hand, the way of magic prospers, and the way of righteousness declines.

If the devil hadn't mysteriously disappeared one day, the current cultivation world still doesn't know what it would be like.

Thinking of this, Zhong Pinglun couldn't help sighing again, if another devil appeared in the magic cultivator now, it would be another catastrophe of devastation.

"Don't think so much, maybe it's just a coincidence," Zhong Pinglun comforted Shen Heqing in this way, and also comforted himself with this, "Maxiu also needs to make friends, maybe they just make friends?" But he also knows that these comforts are really pale , Since the establishment of the Cultivation Realm Alliance, the demon cultivators have been quiet a lot, but in recent years, the demon cultivators have suddenly become active again. All this seems to indicate something.

Shen Heqing lowered his eyes and didn't say anything, the atmosphere was a little dignified for a moment.

Even Mu Shuiteng, who was not in the situation all the time, was frightened by the atmosphere, and shrank back involuntarily.

"Okay, okay," Jiang Haiyan said suddenly with a smile, "Even if those demon cultivators have a leader, it's no big deal. Even if they all add up, there are definitely not as many people in the cultivation world. We can get it done in minutes by playing crowd tactics. them."

Zhong Pinglun sighed: "You don't know how terrible those demon cultivators without a leader will be if they have a leader. They are already enough to cause headaches for our cultivation world. Once a demon leader appears, then... oh..."

1000 years ago, Zhong Pinglun had personally seen the devil who caused chaos in the world. Although he was just a little monk who had just embarked on the path of self-cultivation at that time, the terrifying appearance of that devil was deeply rooted in his mind. , which he will never forget.

That year, the seven sects of the cultivation world joined forces to encircle the devil and his henchmen, but under the joint efforts of thousands of monks, the devil actually killed a bloody path, gods blocked and killed gods, and Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas. , and finally fought all the way to the gate of the Kunlun Sect who initiated the siege... At that time, as an outer disciple of the Kunlun Sect, he could only stand far away at the end. The scene of stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood was deeply engraved in his mind.

After that night, the Kunlun Sect, once the number one sect in the cultivation world, was wiped out, and has since disappeared from the cultivation world.

"How do you know that I don't?" Jiang Haiyan snorted with some dissatisfaction.

"If you knew, you wouldn't have the attitude you have now," Zhong Pinglun sighed deeply, "Actually, a long time ago, there was a devil in the magic cultivator, and that devil almost wiped out the entire cultivator. Jie, don't you think it's scary?"

Jiang Haiyan blinked: "Almost wiped out the entire cultivation world? Is it so powerful?"

Zhong Pinglun shook his head and smiled wryly: "How could I make fun of such a thing? At that time, it could be said that the cultivation world was in its heyday. High-ranking monks are regarded as guests of honor, respecting the immortal sect, even the national teacher of a country is a monk, everyone believes in it, and everyone admires Changsheng. At that time, No. 1 in the cultivation world was the head of the Kunlun Sect, but later even The heads of the Kunlun Sect all died at the hands of that demon, and the current world of self-cultivation is declining day by day, if there is really another demon in the world, I'm afraid..."

He sighed and said nothing more.

Jiang Haiyan rubbed his chin, looking thoughtful: "That devil is so powerful."

Zhong Pinglun nodded heavily. After pondering for a while, he continued: "However, over the years, there have been no big monsters in the magic cultivator. Maybe I am worrying unnecessarily and disturbing others."

"Don't worry," Jiang Haiyan patted Zhong Pinglun's shoulder and comforted him, "Even if the sky falls, he will still be tall. Even if a big devil really happens, it's not your turn to worry about it."

Zhong Pinglun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "What do you mean?"

"Literally," Jiang Haiyan blinked innocently, and he glanced at Shen Heqing, "Okay, it's late, I have a game tomorrow, so I'll go back to sleep today, you guys remember Keep an eye on this guy." After finishing speaking, he kicked Zheng Yijia again with his toe.

"Don't worry," Shen He said calmly, "As long as you set up a barrier, even if he wakes up again, he won't be able to step out of this room."

"Enchantment?" Zhong Pinglun immediately reacted, "Don't you want the old man to work hard?"

Jiang Haiyan patted Zhong Pinglun on the shoulder: "I leave everything to you!"

All the guys who rely on their elders to sell their elders in front of Taotie are a joke!

"The old man just ran errands for you, and you still dare to order the old man so naturally?" Zhong Pinglun was so angry that he blew his beard and stared again.

Before Jiang Haiyan and Shen Heqing could speak, Mu Shuiteng, who had been afraid to say anything, finally spoke timidly: "Then let me...look at him..."

Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows: "You? Don't you know nothing but not dying?"

Mu Shuiteng's face turned red immediately, he scratched his face, and said blankly: "After transforming back to the original form, it's very easy to look at a mortal." After all, besides his life and blood, he also has many tentacles.

Jiang Haiyan thought for a while, then nodded, he patted Mu Shuiteng's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Then this important task will be entrusted to you!"

Mu Shuiteng blushed and nodded: "Then I will try harder!"

Zhong Pinglun on the side rolled his eyes silently, only a pure and silly child like Mu Shuiteng would be so easy to deceive.

After explaining the important task, Jiang Haiyan stretched his waist: "Then I'll go back first."

Shen Heqing pursed his lips: "I'll take you back."

Jiang Haiyan nodded indifferently, thinking that his pet really likes to cling to him!

After the two left Shen Heqing's room, they walked slowly towards Jiang Haiyan's room.

Halfway through, Shen Heqing suddenly spoke lightly: "Just now Zhong Pinglun mentioned that former demon, your expression seemed a little strange at that time... have you seen that demon?"

Jiang Haiyan paused, and a few seconds later, he smiled: "I've lived for so long, so it's not surprising that I have seen a monster from 1000 years ago, right?"

"1000 years ago..." Shen Heqing pondered for a moment. Although he had not become a master recently, he was familiar with the history of the development of the cultivation world. 1000 years ago, it was the beginning of the prosperity and decline of the cultivation world. , turned the entire cultivation world upside down, and even the world of mortals was implicated.

Later, under the initiative of the Kunlun Sect, the seven sects of the comprehension world joined forces to suppress the devil and his henchmen, but in the end they were counter-killed. The Kunlun Sect was wiped out overnight, and the other six sects were also seriously injured. Several sects had to be closed The gate of the mountain ordered the disciples not to go down the mountain. From then on, it was closed behind closed doors and never came out again.

Later, almost the entire world of self-cultivation began to close the mountains and no longer walked in the world. After decades, the legend of Wendao Xunxian gradually ceased to circulate among mortals. Mysteriously disappeared, but the world of self-cultivation, which was greatly injured, no longer came out. Now, 1000 years have passed, and ordinary people have already entered the age of science and abandoned the feudal superstition.

1000 years of vicissitudes, 1000 years of changes in the world.

Shen Heqing was silent for a while, and suddenly a thought came to him: "That monster disappeared mysteriously 1000 years ago, so it must have something to do with you, right?"

Jiang Haiyan blinked: "Guess?"

"Does it really have something to do with you?" Shen Heqing frowned slightly.

Even if Jiang Haiyan nodded and said yes, he would not be surprised. After all, although Jiang Haiyan looks delicious and lazy, he is very clear about the true identity of this guy... Although he is often deceived by this guy's soft and weak appearance, he is not Will forget the true identity of this guy, this guy is one of the legendary four fierce beasts gluttonous.

Jiang Haiyan was also silent for a while, then he smiled: "Guess, I'll tell you if you guess it."

This was obviously a prevarication, which meant that he didn't want to say it. If it was normal, Shen Heqing would definitely not ask any further questions.

But at this moment, Shen Heqing lowered his eyes and really guessed: "I guess, it does have something to do with you."

I don't know why, ever since Zhong Pinglun mentioned the devil, he has always felt a little brooding...

Jiang Haiyan smiled and said nothing.

Shen Heqing pursed his lips, he was always brooding over that devil, although he didn't know why, but he always felt very uncomfortable in his heart, this feeling... even when Jiang Haiyan mentioned his former master Never before.

He didn't know why.

This feeling is vague, looming.

Shen Heqing was silent for a while, then he suddenly remembered something.

1000 years ago...

1000 years ago!

He remembered that 1000 years ago, there was a war among mortals. After that war, the most prosperous mortal dynasty in history began to turn from prosperity to decline.

"It was a time of chaos, and the world was in chaos. He took me back after being seriously injured. At that time, I didn't have a name, so he gave me my current name..."

Shen Heqing remembered what Jiang Haiyan said before.

Could it be that when Jiang Haiyan met his master, it happened to be the troubled times 1000 years ago?

"Later later..."

"Then he was out of his wits."

Jiang Haiyan told him so at the time.

Shen Heqing lowered his eyes, he was silent for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, he asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "1000 years ago... was it when you met your previous master?"

Jiang Haiyan froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect Shen Heqing to ask such a question suddenly, after a while, he nodded.

"Yes."

"1000 years ago, you and your former master traveled all over the world," Shen Heqing said with a bit of astringent voice, "...then you met that devil by chance?"

Without waiting for Jiang Haiyan to answer, he continued, "After that, that demon disappeared mysteriously, and your former master... lost his soul."

After Shen Heqing finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked deeply at Jiang Haiyan: "The reason why your former master lost his soul was because of that devil?"

Jiang Haiyan sighed: "Why are you so good, you can guess everything."

Shen Heqing lowered his eyes: "As expected..."

"However, there is one thing you said wrong." Jiang Haiyan shook his head and said with a faint smile, "The reason why he and I met that devil was not by accident or by chance. Feeling overwhelmed and wanting to do justice for the sky, but my master has the heart of the world and compassion for the common people, and you will know later, that guy has lost his soul."
