When Du Heng woke up again, he felt that his throat was dry and he had a headache, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.He lay stiffly on the bed with his eyes open, and suddenly a magnified face appeared in front of him.

A smiling face appeared in Du Heng's eyes: "Jiujiu!!"

Smiling and rubbing against Du Heng's face enthusiastically, the fluffy and warm feeling gave Du Heng a feeling of being alive.

Du Heng opened his mouth: "Smile..."

what happened to him?How long has he been out?

At this time, footsteps came from around, Du Heng followed the sound and saw a bowl in Xuan Yu's hand.Seeing Du Heng woke up, Xuan Yu smiled: "Are you awake? What's wrong?"

Du Heng told the truth: "There is no place where I feel comfortable all over my body. What's wrong with me?"

Xuanyu fed Du Heng and drank half a bowl of water in one go, and then Du Heng felt like dry grass met with rain.

Xuanyu said slowly: "You chose the natal Lingzhi, and the natal Lingzhi absorbed too much aura from your body when it merged in your sea of ​​consciousness, you couldn't bear it and passed out."

Du Heng frowned: "Absorb my spiritual energy?"

what's the situation?Isn't the natal Lingzhi protecting monks?It is the existence of the monk's right-hand man, why should he absorb the aura of the monk?

Xuanyu explained in a slow voice: "The natal spiritual plant is actually a partner and weapon cultivated by monks with their own aura and cultivation base. They can rely on their lives at critical moments, but they also need to get aura from monks at ordinary times."

Du Heng almost shed tears of bitterness, he knew that the road of practice is full of pits.No, I accidentally fell into it.

Xuanyu said in relief: "Don't worry, your spiritual plant is growing very well in your sea of ​​consciousness."

Du Heng asked slowly: "Can I ask, what is my natal spiritual plant?"

He remembered that before he fainted, he only saw a round and green seed. As for the plant inside the seed, he really didn't know.

Xuanyu said: "It's bamboo."

Du Heng smiled gratifiedly: "Bamboo is good."

Bamboo is hollow without so many twists and turns, bamboo shoots can be eaten, and bamboo poles can also be used to make various bamboo products.From a practical point of view, Du Heng is very satisfied with the Lingzhi he received.It's not flashy, which is nice.

The next question is: "How long have I been out?"

No wonder Du Heng asked this question. After drinking half a bowl of water, he felt his stomach growling with hunger.Since arriving in the village, he has not been so hungry.

Xuan Yu said: "You have been in a coma for eight days, today is already the tenth day of the first lunar month."

Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu in shock: "What?? I've been dizzy for so long?"

No wonder he felt uncomfortable all over. After so many days of starvation, it was a miracle that he could still wake up!

Xuanyu said: "This is the first time you have merged with the natal spiritual plant. With your cultivation base, you have done a good job. Some monks have been integrated for a longer time, and some have been integrated for more than ten years."

Du Heng said resentfully: "Then if you lose consciousness during fusion, wouldn't you starve to death?"

Xuanyu said solemnly: "It is indeed possible, but there has not been a case of being starved to death when subduing Lingzhi in the cultivation world." The implication is that Du Heng is worrying too much.

Xiaoxiao squatted next to Du Heng's head and rubbed against Du Heng's face. Du Heng saw a clear meaning from Xiaoxiao's eyes: "Eat!"

Du Heng stood up and said, "Go eat, I'm starving to death."

When Du Heng opened the refrigerator, he almost shed tears.What about the snacks he prepared? ?Why are so many pots empty?What about those meatballs, braised pork and noodles?And what about the food he cooked in the twelfth lunar month?Where have they all gone?

Before he passed out, there were enough vegetables in his refrigerator to support the entire village until the first half of the first month. How could it be empty all of a sudden?

Xuanyu explained: "Chonghua and the others set off back to Dongji Mountain early this morning. I don't know when you woke up, so I decided to pack some things for them."

Xuanyu is not a stingy person, and the result of packing is that there are only ingredients that need to be made fresh in the refrigerator.

Du Heng understood Xuanyu: "Thank you Xuanyu, you did a good job."

In fact, Zhonghua Yunzheng and the others also ate a lot during this period, and there may not be much left after being divided into everyone's hands.

Du Heng felt a little guilty: "It's all because I've been in a coma for too long, and I missed saying goodbye to them."

I don't know when the next meeting will be. Thinking of this, Du Heng feels a little regretful.He still has a lot of side dishes that he didn't have time to cook for everyone.

The snacks that can be eaten directly are basically packaged by Xuanyu and given to Yunzheng and the others. There are quite a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator.Du Heng thought for a while, he wants to eat rice now, the more he eats, the better.

He took out four large pieces of meat, and then took out a winter bamboo shoot and a few slices of green peppers.He wants to make a little fried pork!He wants to put thinly sliced ​​meat on the white rice and eat two big bowls of it!

The familiar sound of cooking smoke came out of the kitchen again, Jing Nan and Feng Gui showed up on time when they saw the smoke rising.At the same time, Wen Qiong in Tsing Yi appeared, and the little butterfly hairpin on Wen Qiong's head became the same color as her clothes.

Wen Qiong smiled: "I woke up earlier than I thought, how do you feel?"

Du Heng smiled wryly: "Hungry, you'll be so hungry as soon as you wake up. Are you cooking before you wake up?"

Jing Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, the few of us couldn't eat or sleep during the few days you were sleeping."

Feng Gui grumbled coolly at the side: "Don't listen to him, he accumulated food two days ago because he was greedy for stewed meat."

Du Heng: ...he already knew that the people in the village were not as pure as they appeared on the surface.

Xiaoxiao jumped onto the chopping board and stared at Du Heng with sparkling eyes: "Jiujiu?"

Du Heng was busy adding water to the pot to cook the meat, he explained: "Make a little stir-fried meat, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Smiling and thinking for a while: "Jiu Jiu Jiu!"

He wants to eat the sausage Du Heng left for him, he has been thinking about that sausage for a long time!

But now if the intestines are soaked, the intestines will be very salty and taste bad.He thought about it carefully and said, "How about steaming intestines for you at night? I'll make you other delicious food at noon?"

Xiaoxiao is the best to talk, he nodded and squatted obediently on the stove.

Feng Gui said inhumanely: "Spicy." Jing Nan ordered: "Duck egg mushroom soup."

Du Heng: ...well, he shouldn't have gone straight to the kitchen after waking up, these people didn't treat him as a patient at all.

Ling rice was stewed in the pot, and Du Heng said ruthlessly to Jing Nan: "There is no duck egg and mushroom soup, only steamed egg with shrimp."

At this moment, Du Heng was eager to eat the food in his mouth quickly, and he was not in the mood to cook.

Feng Gui weakly made a request: "Spicy..." Du Heng threw him a jar of chili oil: "You can use this for bibimbap later."

Feng Gui complained: "Du Heng, you have changed, you never dared to treat me like this before."

Du Heng didn't bother to pay attention to these two bastards, his focus was on the boiled meat in the pot.Unlike blanching in the past, Du Heng added ginger and white wine to the pot and sprinkled a handful of peppercorns.When he saw the half-foot-long shallots growing on the kitchen window sill, he also tied a handful of shallots, tied them into knots, and threw them into the pot.

After a stick of incense and a cup of tea were stewed, a scent of boiled meat wafted out of the pot.At this time, poke the meat with chopsticks, and the skin can be pierced through.

Du Heng lifted the lid of the pot and fished out two lumps of meat, and the remaining two lumps were still stewed in the pot.

Xuanyu asked: "Why don't you fish them all out?" Didn't Du Heng say that he wanted fried pork?What is half of it?

Du Heng put the steaming meat on the desk plate: "I was so hungry just now, I felt that I could eat a lot of meat. But when I think about it, four pieces of meat are too much. I plan to save two pieces for garlic white meat. There are also two pieces made into small stir-fried twice-cooked pork slices. Don't worry, these two dishes are quick-hand dishes, and they will be ready soon."

Wen Qiong and the others at the dining table suddenly realized: "Oh~~"

The two pieces of meat just taken out of the pot were too hot, so Du Heng sent the plate along with the meat to the freezer section of the refrigerator.Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Du Heng said: "The meat slices are a bit hot now, and they will be a bit thick when cut with my knife. It will be easier to cut after a little cooling."

Du Heng quickly processed the bamboo shoots and cut them into thin slices, and the green peppers became thin slices lying on the plate.Feng Gui said happily: "Hey, there are peppers."

Du Heng said: "This green pepper is only for flavoring, not too spicy. In fact, this dish can't be regarded as stir-fried pork. This recipe is a bit like twice-cooked pork."

The meat of twice-cooked pork is cooked meat. The word Huiguo means to return to the pot. The taste of cooked meat is quite different from that of raw meat.

It’s just that he lacks an important seasoning, bean paste, for making twice-cooked pork, but this can’t be a problem for Du Heng.

His parents love the twice-cooked pork. Every year during Chinese New Year, Du Heng will make a plate for his parents to taste.

When he took out the two pieces of meat from the refrigerator, the two pieces of white meat left in the pot could also be fished out.Xuanyu asked caringly: "Do you want to send these two pieces of meat to the refrigerator?"

Du Heng shook his head again and again: "No, no, this is here, and I will deal with it soon."

The meat taken out of the refrigerator feels a little warm to the touch. At this time, the knife can cut thin slices of meat.The fat part of Du Heng's sliced ​​meat can be seen through. He introduced while cutting: "The double-cooked pork slices should not be too thick, otherwise it will not be easy to fry the fat inside, and it will feel fatty when you eat it."

Xuanyu and the others had never eaten twice-cooked pork, and when they heard what Du Heng said, they nodded: "Oh!"

Du Heng soon got a large plate of meat slices with uniform thickness, six parts fat and four parts thin.Waiting for the soybean oil in the pot to smoke, Du Heng threw shredded ginger into the pot.The ginger shreds made a sound, and when they gave off a scent of ginger, Du Heng poured a large plate of sliced ​​meat into the pot.

The thinly sliced ​​meat squeaked when heated by the hot oil, and the fat in the fat was quickly forced out.Originally, there was only a shallow layer of soybean oil on the bottom of the pot, but after a while, a thick layer of meat oil accumulated.

The meat slices soaked in the meat oil are slightly curled, the lean meat near the edge of the pot is slightly browned, and the fatty meat is almost transparent.

After frying for a while, Du Heng moved the meat slices to the side.The authentic twice-cooked pork should be fried with bean paste and garlic sprouts, while the non-authentic Dushi twice-cooked pork is not so particular.

Du Heng picked up the thinly sliced ​​bamboo shoots and poured them into the pot. After the bamboo shoots were put into the pot, there was a loud thumping sound in the pot.A puff of oily smoke rose, and Du Heng squinted his eyes and calmly stir-fried the bamboo shoots.After the bamboo shoots were fried a few times, he pulled the meat slices from the side and mixed them with the bamboo shoots.

At this time, seasoning can be added. Du Heng added white wine soy sauce, a small amount of sugar and fine salt, and then sprinkled a little pepper.The meat and bamboo shoots in the pot are immediately stained with the color of soy sauce. People who don’t know it will think that this dish tastes sweet. In fact, a small amount of white sugar is used to enhance the freshness.

This is Du Heng's little trick. Put a little sugar in the meat, and the meat will be more tender and delicious.As long as a large amount of white sugar is not added, the sweetness in the sugar will not affect the taste of the whole dish.

After stirring for a while, he poured in the green pepper slices he had prepared in advance.After the green pepper slices were put into the pot, the color in the pot suddenly became brighter, and the pot was no longer pale.In the past, Du Heng would use green and red peppers to match, but when conditions did not permit, he could only give priority to ensuring the taste.

After stir-frying a few times, Du Heng took out the big plate where the meat was placed earlier.He got a large pot of twice-cooked pork that was oily and delicious.The meat slices lying on the plate exudes a charming meaty aroma, and smelling this smell makes people appetite.

Jing Nan and the others couldn't help but took out their chopsticks, and Jing Nan gave Wen Qiong a pair of chopsticks: "Try it, it would be great if your epiphany was as smooth as cooking when you practiced."

Wen Qiong said with a smile: "I think he has pretty good aptitude."

Xuan Yu didn't speak, he took a piece of meat and bamboo shoots with chopsticks and handed them to Du Heng's mouth: "Let's eat some first."

Du Heng was starving, so he didn't care about anything at this time.He took a big mouthful of vegetables from Xuanyu's chopsticks in one bite, and his mouth was immediately full of bamboo shoots and meat.Chewing and chewing, the meat slices and bamboo shoots dance together in the mouth.

The bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, with a thin layer of sauce on them, which tastes salty with a little sweetness.The meat slices are pliable, the lean meat is fragrant but not sticky, and the fatty meat is oily, but it doesn't feel greasy at all.

If you need something to match this dish at this time, it must be white rice!

Jing Nan was already howling: "Is the rice ready?" This dish is very easy to eat, and you have to cook three bowls of rice to be worthy of this dish.

Feng Gui lost interest: "It's not spicy."

God knows how the few of them lived these few days, they were counting on Du Heng's refrigerator to live.If Du Heng doesn't wake up today, Feng Gui will use force to wake him up.He felt that the food in the refrigerator was delicious, but it was not freshly cooked by Du Heng, and he always felt that it lacked a little taste.

After taking a bite of the dish, Du Heng felt a bit revived. He said embarrassedly: "Actually, this dish should be less spicy. It's just that I lack ingredients."

He is not only short of bean paste, but also garlic sprouts.But he wanted to eat twice-cooked pork again, so he had to make this modified version of twice-cooked pork. The real twice-cooked pork is spicy and sweet, and it combines all kinds of spiciness with garlic sprouts, watercress and spicy seasoning, which tastes hearty.

Jing Nan really likes this dish: "I think it's delicious, why should it be so spicy?"

Wen Qiong also expressed her opinion: "I think it's delicious!" The little girl showed two dimples as soon as she spoke, and Du Heng immediately became drunk.

Du Heng looked at Xuanyu: "Xuanyu, do you think it's okay?" Xuanyu nodded: "It's delicious."

Feng Gui immediately sneered at Xuan Yu: "Come on you, you didn't eat at all."

In order to make up for Feng Gui's regret that he didn't eat spicy food, Du Heng planned to make the second dish of garlic and white meat spicy.

In fact, it is simple and simple to make garlic white meat, that is, cut the cooked white meat into slices and eat it with dipping sauce.But it is also complicated to say that it is complicated, because this dish is very particular about knife skills.The slices of Suannibairou should be so thin that the light can see through, and the slices should be complete.If it is cut too thick, it will taste fatty.

Du Heng felt that his knife skills were not bad, and he was always quite proud.

There is a large piece of cooked meat on the chopping board, each piece of meat is one foot long, eight inches wide and six inches thick. There is a large section of gray lean meat on it, and there is four inches of fat between the skin and the lean meat.

Du Heng brought the knife close to the meat, and saw him slowly moving the knife from one end to the other. After a while, a large piece of slightly transparent meat appeared on the knife body.

Du Heng picked up the piece of white meat with chopsticks and looked at it, only to see that the piece of meat was intact, and the fat part could see through.Du Heng rated himself a point: "Beautiful!"

Then he rolled the white meat with chopsticks and placed it on a nearby plate.After a while, he got a large plate of neatly stacked white meat like flowers.

At this time, Jing Nan sent out a soul question: "Du Heng, what did you just say this dish is called?"

Du Heng is still immersed in his beautiful knife skills: "Garlic mud and white meat!"

Jing Nan: "What is mashed garlic??"

Du Heng: ...he forgot, he didn't have garlic!He found ginger and scallions, but he didn't find garlic!

As soon as Jing Nan reminded him, Du Heng was suddenly embarrassed: "That...no."

Jing Nan looked at Du Heng suspiciously: "Are you playing with me?"

Du Heng argued weakly: "I didn't see garlic in the demon world!"

Before he found ginger and garlic, he used madder instead of ginger and garlic. Didn’t he see that the madder in the field was bald by Du Heng?

Jing Nan sighed: "If you don't have something, you can just ask me?"

Du Heng looked at Jing Nan suspiciously: "Could it be that you have garlic there?" Jing Nan simply lay flat: "No."

Du Heng is helpless, who are the people in the village.

Jing Nan's painting style changed: "I don't have any here, but there are many on the mountain. If you are talking about the stuff I know, there should be quite a few."

Du Heng's eyes lit up: "Is what you said true?"

Jing Nan nodded: "However, the way you call Lingzhi in your hometown is different from ours here. I'm not sure if that's what you want. I know that it is very spicy, and it will grow spherical rhizomes in late spring and early summer. It smells bad. Snakes, rats, ants, and mountain monsters won't eat it."

Du Heng's eyes became brighter: "Hey?"

Xuan Yu said slowly: "You wait here, Jing Nan and I will go to get some."

As expected of the caring Xuanyu, that's great!Du Heng smiled: "Okay, okay."

Jing Nan and Xuan Yu disappeared into the kitchen at once, and they reappeared before a cup of tea.This time, Xuanyu tied a bundle of green spiritual plants with a thin rope, and Du Heng took a closer look, what is that garlic sprout?

The garlic sprouts in this season are fresh and tender, and when the leaves are cut off, some smoky juice will flow out.Xuanyu put Lingzhi under the eaves of the corridor: "Du Heng, take a look and see if it's what you want."

Du Heng nodded again and again: "Yes, yes! It's just that it hasn't grown garlic yet, but it can be fried and eaten."

Jing Nan and Feng Gui immediately slapped the table: "You still want to fry such a stinky thing?! No!!" Feng Gui let out a foul breath: "What kind of life did you live in your hometown? Why do you want to eat this stuff? eat?"

Jing Nan threatened: "If I knew what you were talking about, I wouldn't let you know if I killed you. Let me tell you, if you dare to add this thing to the white meat, I will, today, I won't let you know." have eaten!!"

Du Heng turned a deaf ear to it, he took a Shau Kei and squatted under the eaves of the corridor to clean the garlic sprouts.Perhaps because no one took care of them, the garlic sprouts grew extremely thin, and the thickest garlic sprouts were only as thick as Du Heng's little finger.It is impossible to use this kind of garlic to make mashed garlic meat, but he can take out the garlic sprouts and save them for cooking other dishes.

Xiaoxiao tweeted twice to Du Heng, he wanted to tell Du Heng: the rice in the pot is cooked.

Du Heng put the Shau Kei under the eaves of the corridor, and he went to the pool to wash his hands: "It's a pity, there is no mashed garlic, let's eat a dish of white meat with mashed garlic."

Feng Gui and Jing Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God."

It seems that these two people are disgusted by the smell of garlic and don't know what it has done to them.But Du Heng will find a way to change Garan's opinion in their hearts.

The most important thing for white meat is the dipping sauce. Although there is no garlic, it is delicious if it is prepared properly.

Du Heng added five tablespoons of soy sauce, five tablespoons of chili oil, three tablespoons of sesame oil, a little salt, and a little more sugar. He felt that the flavor of the seasoning was too strong, so he added four tablespoons of cooking juice to the seasoning.After mixing the seasoning evenly, he rolled up a piece of white meat and dipped it in the seasoning: "Smile."

Xiaoxiao immediately ran to Du Heng's side and opened his mouth, he liked the tasting thing the most.

The white meat is still warm, and after being rolled in the sauce, the color stained with soy sauce turns maroon.A mouthful of white meat is fragrant and spicy, with just the right amount of saltiness and a little sweetness.The shutdown is a big mouthful of meat, not fatty at all.

Xiaoxiao shook her wings and made a vibrato, and Du Heng happily received Xiaoxiao's feedback.He evenly poured the sauce on the white meat: "Originally there should be some vegetables under it, but I'm too lazy to move, so let's just eat it."

Du Heng put a large plate of white meat on the dining table, and the two dishes on the table looked very attractive.

Feng Gui dipped a piece of white meat into his mouth, and he nodded in satisfaction: "Although it's not very spicy, compared to the other two dishes, I like this dish very much."

Du Heng held his job bowl, and he always felt that one day Feng Gui would be so spicy that the chrysanthemum would be crippled.

When Du Heng put the steamed eggs with shrimps on the table, Feng Gui suddenly smiled: "If Chonghua and Yunzheng had known that Du Heng would wake up today, they probably would not have chosen to leave early in the morning."

Jing Nan ate the stir-fried twice-cooked pork happily: "Yes, yes, I guess I will stay for lunch even if I cry."

Holding his job bowl, Du Heng said regretfully: "It's all my fault for being dizzy for so many days. If I had known that it would be so troublesome to integrate Lingzhi, I would have waited for them to leave before merging. I still have a lot of delicacies that I haven't cooked for them. "

Wen Qiong said with a smile: "It's okay Du Heng, they have decided that they will send a person to the village every month to pick up food. From now on, you can cook more when you cook."

Du Heng thought for a while and nodded: "Well, this is also a good way. By the way, master, I want to ask, will I officially start practicing after I accept my natal Lingzhi?"

Wen Qiong nodded: "Well, you have prepared a lot of mental methods for you these few days, and we have already selected two mental methods for you."

Du Heng suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not delicious, and he asked weakly: "I won't continue to faint after practicing the mental method?"

Wen Qiong showed a mouthful of small white teeth, and she said crisply: "How could it be? At most, if you go wrong in your practice, you will become obsessed, and it won't be a serious problem."

Du Heng trembled, this is more terrifying than fainting, isn't it?

114

The three dishes at noon were eaten up by several people, and Du Heng felt that he was full of life after eating.The courage to practice is coming back again!

Wen Qiong paced back and forth in front of Du Heng with her hands behind her back: "Do you know that the seeds you harvest are from Peizhu?"

Du Heng nodded: "Xuanyu told me."

Wen Qiong nodded: "Very good, how much do you know about Peizhu's temperament?"

Du Heng thought for a while: "Aren't all bamboos like that? Does it still have temperament?"

Wen Qiong said earnestly: "Of course, every plant has its own temperament, some like light, some like wet, some are gentle and some are bloodthirsty. Since you have chosen Peizhu, I hope you can understand it well. Peizhu's temperament. But since Peizhu can choose you, I think your temperament should be similar to Peizhu's."

Du Heng sighed: "Pei bamboo is a very good bamboo. The bamboo shoots are delicious, and the bamboo poles can make many useful things. It can't be more gentle."

Wen Qiong had a weird expression: "If you are attacked, can you dig a bamboo shoot to knock down your opponent? Or do you want to weave a bamboo basket to hold your opponent?"

Du Heng thought for a while: "I...can drive away the opponent with a bamboo pole."

Wen Qiong clenched her fists, and she still had a smile on her face: "Generally, monks with wood spirit roots choose natal spirit plants, mostly because of their attack ability, rather than these additional abilities. I hope you can familiarize yourself with it." Pei Zhu's attack ability, and then use it to coordinate and exert the greatest combat effectiveness."

Du Heng thought for a while: "How should I be familiar with Peizhu's attack power?"

Wen Qiong said with a smile: "It's very simple. There is a bamboo forest behind Master Jing's house. You go to the bamboo forest for half a day and express to the bamboo that you want to see their fighting scenes. I think Peizhu will show it to you."

Du Heng became interested, and he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"

Thinking of going to the Bamboo Forest, Du Heng even carried a basket on his back, so he could dig some winter bamboo shoots and come back later.If the winter bamboo shoots are not dug, a large part will soon rot.The taste of spring bamboo shoots is not as good as that of winter bamboo shoots!

Seeing Du Heng go out with a basket on his back carefree, Feng Gui knocked on the melon seeds and sighed: "How long do you think he can last?"

Jing Nan thought for a while: "A cup of tea?"

Xuan Yu said calmly, his eyes fell on Wen Qiong: "It may not take half a cup of tea."

Wen Qiong smiled sweetly at them: "Just two or three breaths."

When Du Heng walked into the bamboo forest, he wondered if there was a seed of bamboo in his sea of ​​consciousness. He always felt that when he entered the bamboo forest, a sense of kindness surged up.The bamboos seem to be greeting Du Heng.

Du Heng's eyes fell on the clump of small bamboos at the edge of the bamboo forest. There were originally three bamboos in this clump.Later, Chonghua planted a branch in the yard, and now there are only two thin and small bamboos left here.

Du Heng touched the little bamboo: "I hope the one kept in the yard can grow stronger in spring."

Du Heng put down the basket, closed his eyes, and said silently in his heart: "I want to see everyone's heroic posture in battle. Please treat me as an opponent and let me see!"

As soon as the words fell, Du Heng felt the whistling wind coming from his ears. He opened his eyes and saw the two bamboos closest to him in the bamboo forest bent down.These two bamboos are not the thickest and strongest, they are only as thick as Du Heng's wrist, but they are twisted into an incredible arc.

In Du Heng's cognition, even if the bamboo bends down, it can only bend down with the bamboo root as the center and the bamboo pole as the radius. If the bending is too large, the bamboo will break.The bamboo in the bamboo forest is so dense, even if you want to bend horizontally, you have to avoid other bamboos, right?

But the bamboo in front of him seemed to be bent in the opposite direction to him, and the blue bamboo pole was like a bow and shot horizontally towards Du Heng's chest.Du Heng only saw two cyan flashes of light, and then two popping sounds came from his ears.

It was as if someone had punched him twice in the chest, and his body flew out as soon as his eyes turned black.When he was lying in the spiritual field in front of Jing Nan's house, he didn't react.

Xiaoxiao ran over in a panic: "Jiujiujiu!!"

Du Heng buffered for a long time before exhaling suddenly, his chest was burning and began to hurt.He turned over and held his chest and moaned, "What happened... what happened?"

Du Heng was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe, he thought his chest must be bruised.At this time, he saw Wen Qiong's skirt, and Wen Qiong smiled condescendingly at him: "This is the fighting power of Peizhu. You never choose a docile bamboo. Peizhu is also known as ghost crying bamboo, which refers to the bamboo that will not be beaten. People who are recognized by bamboo will be beaten until they cry like ghosts and wolves."

Du Heng clutched his chest and panted heavily. To be honest, he had never been hit so badly when he grew up.Even when Yan Buhui used coercion to suppress him when he first crossed, he never felt such pain.

Because of the pain, Du Heng burst into tears.It took him a while to buffer himself: "It hurts..."

Wen Qiong squatted down, she looked into Du Heng's eyes and said: "If you are a disciple of my sect, I must ask you at this time: cultivation is so hard, it is better to give up. It's a pity that not only can't I say that, but I have to go against it. Come here to comfort you and reassure you."

Wen Qiong said word by word: "Du Heng, do you know how many monks envy your spiritual roots? How many monks have lofty ambitions but died of lack of talent? You can't slack off if you have this talent. Cultivation is not easy. From today In the beginning, I will be very strict with you until you find your own path and embark on a path of practice that you can go on smoothly without anyone supervising you."

Wen Qiong stretched out her hand to Du Heng, and Du Heng saw the thick calluses on her hands.Wen Qiong said: "Master Xuan handed you over to me, and I will be responsible for you. Today, I will put away your joking heart and take the practice seriously. You are not always so lucky to be protected by someone. You have to Be strong, strong enough to protect yourself and those around you."

Du Heng stretched out his hand to hold Wen Qiong, his chest still hurt, but he felt an unprecedented sense of heroism.It's his. He practiced not only for himself, but also to protect important people at critical moments.

He still remembers the day when he was besieged by monsters, standing in front of him with a smile and trembling short legs.

During the time he came to the cultivation world, he felt that he was dreaming.Although he found a sense of belonging in Yikeshu Village, he never recognized himself as a monk.Thinking about it carefully, he doesn't just live for himself, he occupies the body of the original owner Du Heng, and he will fulfill the original owner's unfulfilled wish.

He has always had the idea of ​​escaping from the world, and he even felt that as long as he stayed in Yikeshu Village, he would be able to live in peace and stability.Today, Du Heng felt the weight on his shoulders after being whipped by bamboo twice.

He can't always hide behind Xuan Yu and the others and cook with peace of mind, he also wants to be a man of indomitable spirit.

Du Heng immediately understood why Xuanyu recruited Wen Qiong.The people in the village are too gentle to bear to deal harshly with Du Heng, so they can only recruit Wen Qiong to help Du Heng straighten his body and upright his morals.

Wen Qiong pulled Du Heng up from the ground, and she only reached Du Heng's chest, but the seriousness in her eyes and the coercion surrounding her made Du Heng tremble.

Wen Qiong said: "I know that you are gentle by nature and don't like to get involved in right and wrong, but sometimes you have to pay back when you are tainted with karma. Everyone wants to be a banished immortal who has nothing to do with the world. Look at how many people in the cultivation world can do it." this point?"

Wen Qiong said: "Look, even the natal spirit plant you received can easily defeat you. If you take it lightly, you will die an ugly death. So Du Heng, if I find out that you are cheating and cheating while I am tutoring you, take it lightly. , I will not be polite to you. Do you understand?"

Du Heng nodded hesitantly. At this moment, Wen Qiong in his heart had grown from a cute girl to a master who was both strict and gentle.

After Wen Qiong finished speaking, she looked at Du Heng's reaction with satisfaction, and she nodded: "That's enough, you can be considered to understand the characteristics of Peizhu, starting tomorrow, you have to stay in the bamboo forest for a certain amount of time every day In the first three days, you have to persist until you have a cup of tea, then a stick of incense, and then half an hour, until you can understand the habits of Peizhu. At the same time, I will teach you breathing and exhalation. The basic practice method of the wood spirit root."

Du Heng originally wanted to howl, let alone a cup of tea, but now he was blown away as soon as he stood at the entrance of the bamboo forest. He always felt that this task was very difficult.

But practice has always been from simple to complex, and then from complex to simple, Du Heng's heart was broken.He worked hard!

Two bluish streaks appeared on Du Heng's chest after being whipped twice. When he opened his clothes, the two bluish streaks pulled out a big fork on Du Heng's chest. It was shocking to see.Xuan Yu carefully applied the ointment on Du Heng's fingers: "The bamboo forest behind Jing Nan's house can kill even a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage. Tomorrow I will stand outside the bamboo forest and look at you."

The slightly cool ointment applied to the hot wound made Du Heng shiver: "No need, I'll just ask Peizhu to give you two less spankings tomorrow."

Xuanyu's fingers slid across Du Heng's skin, and his tone was a little low: "It's already less, your cultivation level is not high, and Peizhu is based on your cultivation level. The higher your cultivation base, the better Peizhu's beating The more fierce."

Du Heng was taken aback: There is still this operation? !

Based on the idea that he will be beaten to death by Peizhu tomorrow, he must learn some self-defense skills today anyway.Before making dinner, Du Heng sincerely asked Wen Qiong for advice: "Master, do you want to teach me the method of breathing and breathing for self-defense?"

Wen Qiong was eating melon seeds, and when she heard what Du Heng said, she replied with a smile: "Okay, today I will teach you the first trick, the method of turtle's breath."

Du Heng was a little puzzled: "Turtle's breath?" He supported Wen Qiong seriously. After explaining how the aura works when breathing out, he had a stomach full of doubts: "Isn't it to protect your life and self-defense? Why does it feel weird?"

Wen Qiong said: "Use this move when you feel that you are about to be killed. This move can stop your heartbeat and breathing, and at the same time the aura around your body will also stop. When the opponent's aura is interrupted, everyone will be killed." Most monks, monsters, and spirit plants will stop attacking, so this trick is also called playing dead."

Du Heng looked at Wen Qiong in horror: "It's not master, shouldn't you teach me how to dodge?" Why teach him to pretend to be dead first?

Jing Nan showed her small white teeth: "It's not easy? No matter how powerful your dodge is, if you are knocked down by your opponent, you may be killed with one punch. But if you develop a strong body, you can survive."

Xiaoxiao chirped and chirped at the side, and Du Heng asked Xuanyu puzzled, "What are you talking about, Xiaoxiao?"

Feng Gui said: "Smile and say, starting tomorrow, he will practice with you. He won't watch you die, don't worry!"

Du Heng was so moved that he almost cried.
