Land god

It took only two days for Bald and Xiaozhu to place four 30-meter-high log pillars in four directions of the valley according to Du Qian's request. Then they had to chop bamboo and cut thatch, because Use these things to build a house.

As for Du Qian, he used this time to try to make talismans.

First of all, he tempered all the snake scales of the big piebald snake with the real fire of the earth, and made them into a rectangular material like a jade plate, and then poured the finely ground cinnabar into the drawing runes.

The drawing of runes consumes a lot of power of the soul. Fortunately, Du Qian has the top skills for cultivating the soul. Every time he feels that his energy is low, he will sink into the Futian and practice the Xuanhuang Gongde Tianxin Mantra several times, so it doesn't take long Then he became energetic again.

In this way, while practicing while trying, it only took three days of effort for Du Qian to basically master the method of making the Explosive Flame Talisman. Although the Explosive Flame Talisman he made at the beginning could only release fist-sized fireballs, it would not hurt to hit the ground. It was just a piece the size of a scorched palm, but as his understanding and application of runes deepened, the power of the fireball became stronger and stronger, and soon it could turn into a fireball with a diameter of one meter, achieving the normal effect of the Explosive Flame Talisman.

After that, Du Qian would spend time every day making sixteen explosion-flame talismans, and then nail them to the four log pillars that he let the bald head stand on. As time went by, the talismans gradually covered the four 30-meter-high pillars Pillar.

Then he stood in the sky and cast a spell, and saw the four pillars bursting into the sky with red light, forming a large cloud of fire over the valley, covering the entire valley tightly.

After casting the spell, the fire cloud gradually disappeared, but the mana fluctuations on the four log pillars did not weaken at all, indicating that the fire cloud still existed.

These four log pillars covered with talismans are a "fu array" established by Du Qian based on the teaching of Taoist Master Huoyun and the knowledge in some Taoist classics that he has read.

Talisman array, as the name suggests, is a formation based on talismans. Combining the power of a large number of talismans into one can often exert amazing power.

There are thousands of Explosive Flame Talismans made by Du Qian on these four stone pillars. Combined with their power, they form a fire cloud array, and its power is naturally very impressive.

While Du Qian was arranging the talisman array, the bald head had already cut enough bamboo, and he chose a sunny place in the valley near the water source to build a bamboo house.

Baldhead not only hunted, but also helped people build manors before, so he is also very familiar with the way of building bamboo houses. I saw that he used big moso bamboo as thick as a bowl to make pillars and rafters, and he used thin bamboo as thick as a thumb to make walls. It was surrounded by several floors, but it took more than ten days for the three bamboo houses to take shape.

And when Xiaozhu was building a bamboo house with his head bald, he flew out and cut a lot of thatch and came back, rolled around on the haystack to flatten them, and then spread the thatch neatly on the roof of the bamboo house.

In this way, their new home was completed, but the internal facilities and detail renovations were completed by Du Qian.He first rode Xiaozhufei to Barnyard City and bought a lot of exquisite household items, not only beds, cabinets, tables, chairs, screens and other furniture, but also pots and pans, all kinds of ingredients, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, etc. Fragments, because they were purchased at a large price on purpose, so these things are all exquisite, and they are the best in the whole barnyard city.

Then he set about setting it up.

The one among the three bamboo houses was the largest, and he divided it into two with curtains and screens. The outer room was the living room, and the inner room was the bedroom for him and the bald head—of course he would not want to sleep in the same bed with the bald head.

The other bamboo house was smaller, part of it was used to store sundries, and the larger space was used as a bedroom for Xiaozhu. According to the habits of little tigers, thick animal skin mats were laid to make a nest.

The remaining one is the kitchen. The bald head covered an earthen stove with stones and mud. Du Qian disliked that the earthen stove would turn black and unclean after being burned, so he got some clay and let the bald head smear a layer. Then he burned the whole earthen stove with a real earth fire, and the whole earthen stove was burnt into off-white pottery. Although the texture was not as delicate as porcelain, it was good enough for cooking and burning.

Du Qian placed all the pots, pans and pans in the kitchen, and put away the ingredients and seasonings in different categories, and then he became interested in cooking.

In his previous life, Du Qian cooked since he was a child. Although he was not very skilled in cooking, he could make delicious ordinary family dishes, and now he can also cook them to celebrate the joy of settling down.

So he started to prepare all kinds of ingredients with great vigor, and when he was ready, he suddenly thought whether he should invite Lin Zijuan from Shiyuan Village. It is right to recognize the door.But he changed his mind and thought again, now that he has just settled down, many things are not appropriate, and there is nothing to do with his own people, so it is a bit crude to treat guests, so it is better to prepare some good dishes and send them in a gift box later, since everything is safe. It's not embarrassing, anyway, they are all practitioners, and they don't stick to formalities.

That afternoon, the bald head and Xiaozhu sat obediently at the table, held up their clean hands and paws, and looked eagerly at the direction of the kitchen, where all kinds of tempting scents had been wafting for a long time. It's not that Du Qian refuses to let them, they have long wanted to run in and have a look.

Finally, Du Qian came out with the dishes. First of all, there were four plates of cold wild vegetables, white and tender radishes, green bracken, plump bamboo shoots, fragrant yellow flower buds, and dried fruits such as almonds and pine nuts. Adding sesame oil, the four plates of light cold dishes also have a refreshing aroma.

Then there are four hot dishes: parsley lily, scrambled eggs with fungus, steamed sea bass and braised pork. Among them, parsley, lily and fungus are all picked by Du Qian in the mountains, while the fish and meat are from the hunting assistant. From the food intake of the bald head and the little tiger, each dish is served on a large blue and white plate with a deep mouth, piled up like a hill, and the portions are full.

Du Qian brought the last fish head tofu soup with a smile and said, "It's time to start."

Xiaosuke couldn't wait a long time ago, stretched out his claws and inserted a piece of fish, and swallowed it into his mouth without feeling too hot, narrowing his eyes enjoying it.

The bald head picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of radish into Du Qian's bowl first, swallowed secretly, and looked at him eagerly.

Du Qian's heart warmed up. This guy still remembered that he likes to eat vegetables, so he picked up the piece of water radish with a smile, savoring the food essence contained in it.

The bald head saw that Du Qian had already started eating in his own way, so he aimed at the braised pork that he had been coveting for a long time, and started to feast on it.

This meal was very enjoyable. After the meal, Du Qian poured a glass of freshly squeezed peach juice for the bald head and himself. Xiaozhu didn't like sweet things, so he helped Du Qian get all the used bowls and chopsticks riverside.

There is a clear stream in the valley, on the right side of their bamboo house, with green grass on both sides of the stream. When Du Qian was washing dishes by the stream, he turned over the grass near the bamboo house with his bald head and waved his hoe. Came out because Duqian said he wanted to grow some fresh vegetables there.

After finishing his bald head, he practiced boxing on the opposite side of the creek, while Du Qian packed everything up and didn't bother him. He went into the bamboo house by himself and sat up in front of a bronze incense burner.

I bought this bronze incense burner in Huangquanshui City, Fengdu City. I found that there were signs of life in the black unknown object inside, so I wanted to buy it back and study it. After that, many things happened, and I never cared about it. Now that I live here, I really have free time. When I was decorating the room, Du Qian dug it out from the wooden storage box and has been studying it for the past few days.

Although Du Qian has the ability to communicate with other life consciousnesses, the life consciousness in this bronze incense burner seems a little obscure. He tried many times but failed to understand the thoughts in it. He just subconsciously felt that there were many tiny beings calling for help. , very desperately longing for something, but there is no way of knowing what it is.

What exactly do you want?Du Qian was very confused. He had communicated with them many times, but he couldn't fully understand their meanings, and he couldn't get a response to his inquiries... Du Qian couldn't figure it out, and gradually he was immersed in thinking.

After an unknown period of time, he felt two focused gazes around him, and when he came back to his senses in surprise, he found that Baldhead and Xiaosuke were squatting beside him one on the left and the other on the right, looking at him strangely.

"What's the matter with you, what's the matter?" he asked.

"Is it delicious?" The bald head pointed to Du Qian's chin in confusion.

Du Qian looked down, and found that he was holding a smooth beef thigh bone in his hand, and he was holding it tightly to his mouth... This is a bone for Xiaozhu to bite and play with... Could it be... I was gnawing on this bone just now? a bone?

"Uh!" Du Qian quickly threw away the bone as if it was burning his hands.

Xiaozhu rushed forward and held down his beloved bone with his paws, and looked at Du Qian with aggrieved eyes—you can bite my bones if you like them, why throw them away!

how so!Du Qian was embarrassed, he did such a thing unconsciously, could it be due to calcium deficiency?That's not right~ How could a spirit body have such a need?

Thinking of this, Du Qian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Huh? Demand... Could it be..."

Overjoyed, Du Qian took out a tailbone of a giant spotted snake from the wooden box, and handed it to the bald head: "Grind it into powder for me."

The bald head looked at Du Qian in confusion: Is it because the whole bone cannot be chewed, so it needs to be ground into powder?

Although he was puzzled, the bald head still obediently put the giant snake's tailbone in his hands. When he folded his palms together, a white light flashed, and the tailbone turned into powder like flour. up.

It's only been a month, but the bald head's strength has increased a lot. It seems that the top body training method is really suitable for him!

Du Qian thought to himself, and said to the bald head, "Pour the bone meal into this incense burner."

The fine bone powder fell into the incense burner rustlingly, covering the black mass inside the incense burner, Du Qian stared closely, seeing Du Qian looking at him with his bald head, he also stretched his head over, and then the little assistant He also dropped his bones and ran over. Three heads of different shapes came together, and six eyes stared closely at the ball of powder.

Time passed by, and the bald head, who felt his eyes were a little sore, couldn't help blinking, but then suddenly found that the powder seemed to be moving, and he couldn't help breathing, and he didn't dare to breathe out.

Then I saw that black thing seemed to come alive completely. First, the surface of "Kaka" cracked, and then many small black insects came out, like young silkworms, not much thicker than cotton thread, only rice grains as long.However, these guys moved much faster than the young silkworms, and they crawled "chug" inside the white bone meal, but in the blink of an eye, the bone meal decreased rapidly, and they bottomed out in a short while.

Seeing that they really feed on bones, Du Qian quickly took out another coccyx and let the bald head grind it into powder and pour it in.

The bone meal that fell from the sky made these little bugs happy, and they crawled back and forth a little faster. The bone meal made from this section of the coccyx was eaten again, and the little bugs stopped as if they were full. At this time Their bodies have obviously grown a section, and their bodies have doubled in thickness.

After eating, the worm pulled out a lot of black poop, and now Du Qian knew what the lump in the bronze incense burner was.

Originally, the bronze censer was equipped with a keel incense that could burn for thousands of years, and the main material of the keel incense was genuine keel. Presumably, the ancient dragon incense was eaten by these insects that like to eat spiritual bones, and then it grew up again. After pooping, and because there is no food to eat, they hibernate in their own poop.

The guy who sold the incense burner said that these poops are not afraid of water and fire, and they are hard to hurt with swords. It seems to be a way for them to protect themselves.

After the worms were full, they lay still on their stomachs, and after a while, their bodies became stiff, and the black skin quickly hardened and swelled, and finally turned into pea-sized bugs. pupa.

After the pupation, the bugs did not move, but Du Qian could find that they were very happy through conscious communication, and he felt grateful and attached to him. In addition, he could vaguely feel that these bugs had pupated through conscious communication. After that, it needs to stay in a dark and dry place for a period of time before it can break out of the cocoon.

Because young bugs have no sense of time, Du Qian didn't know how long it would be, but he felt it wasn't very long, so after letting the bald head grind bone meal and pour it in, he placed the incense burner in the corner, Cover it with a bamboo basket.
