The brown wooden cart stopped under the Luan tree. Next to the cart were six giant rabbits. The rabbits pricked up their ears and looked at Du Heng, who was standing next to the cart and hugging Xiaoxiao. Their ears swayed in unison, as if they were performing an ancient ritual.
The rabbits' originally warm black eyes gradually changed color, and a circle of red appeared around the edges of their pupils. They turned their faces towards Du Heng, and Du Heng walked towards the rabbits involuntarily. Soon, the rabbits surrounded Du Heng, and Du Heng's expression became very struggling, and even Xiaoxiao in his arms became wooden.
Everyone in the cultivation world knows that the evil beasts are difficult to deal with, but few people know that the evil beasts act in groups. They need to surround a person, hypnotize and control him, and then cheat him of the most important things around him.
Whether it is a human or a demon, there is always something they want. For those who pursue fame and fortune, the evil beast will use supreme power to lure them; for those who indulge in sensual pleasures, the evil beast will use beautiful women and spiritual minerals to lure them... In the formation of the evil beasts, few people can wake up.
Most people will lose their most valuable things after being surrounded by the extortion beasts. It would be fine if the extortion beasts treated these things well, but the extortion beasts only want the pleasure of deceiving people. The higher the other party's cultivation, the more valuable the things they cheated are, and the happier they are when they discard and tease them.
These shameless and bottom-line-less rabbits are so nasty, but they are favored by heaven. By the time the deceived people come to their senses, they have already escaped.
The voices of the evil beasts echoed in Du Heng's ears. Du Heng's eyes showed a struggle: "The most important things to me... are Xiaoyu, Xiaoxiao, Nannan, and Xixi."
Du Heng had forgotten his lofty ambitions before he lifted the curtain, and he also forgot that the blackmailers had opened his refrigerator and destroyed his bacon. A scale appeared in his mind, with his smiling parents on one side and Xiaoyu and the others on the other.
The rabbits bewitched Du Heng: "Hand them over. After that, you can go home. You can meet your parents. Don't you miss them?"
Pain appeared in Du Heng's eyes: "Mom and Dad..." He thought, of course he missed his parents, and he wished he could fly to them right now. But on the other side of the scale, Xiaoxiao and the others were also very important.
At this time, Du Heng heard Xiaoyu and the others' voices: "Du Heng, hand us over. You can go home after that."
Du Heng shook his head: "No, I can't. I can't." His parents gave birth to him and raised him, but Xiaoyu and the others were his Taoist companions and relatives. They held equal positions in Du Heng's heart. Du Heng didn't want to sacrifice one for the other.
Jing Nan's smile deepened as he scanned with his spiritual sense: "Good boy, we have arrived at the rabbit's nest."
When Du Heng began to reject the rabbits, several large rabbits jumped out from under the phoenix tree. In the woods behind the phoenix tree, there were even more rabbits ready to move. Seeing that Du Heng would not be fooled, were the rabbits ready to use all their strength?
Feng Gui smiled in a somewhat creepy way: "Don't even think about escaping. I haven't forgotten the hatred for Fenghuang Ling for even a day."
Xuan Yu frowned, "That's enough. The evil beasts are protected by the heavens. We can't kill them all. Don't let Du Heng suffer any more. He's about to cry."
Du Heng's eyes were red: "No, I won't hand it over." He had a feeling that as long as he opened his mouth, he would lose Xiaoyu and the others forever, and he couldn't bear to do that.
A few more rabbits jumped out of the forest, and among the swaying rabbit ears, Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back and opened the storage bag first. He woodenly took out the delicious food from the storage bag: "Chirp...Chirp..."
The crispy peas, orchid beans, potato chips, dried taro and other things made by Du Heng were scattered all over the floor. Tears welled up in Xiaoxiao's eyes. He scattered the food on the floor in a daze, mumbling nonsense.
The rabbits not only fooled Du Heng, but also Xiao Xiao. When Xiao Xiao spilled his snacks, the rabbit standing at the front looked at his nose. It wanted to go forward and eat a few snacks, but the other rabbits were tempting Du Heng. They had a hunch that Du Heng had something very important!
The noise in Du Heng's ears became louder and louder, and it seemed to have penetrated into his brain. His head was aching from the noise, and he finally couldn't stand it anymore and let go of his hands to cover his ears. But the moment he let go, he woke up.
He felt Xiaoxiao falling, and his body reacted faster than his brain. Before Xiaoxiao fell to the ground, Du Heng nimbly picked him up.
Du Heng held Xiao Xiao, whose face was full of tears, and looked at the big rabbits on the ground. Du Heng blinked, and the rabbits sniffed. It took him a while to realize that he had fallen into the illusion created by the monsters.
All the old and new hatreds came to the fore, and Du Heng's face turned red with anger. Before Du Heng could make a move, the rabbits ran away, and Du Heng only had time to see the rabbits' buttocks twitching. He finally understood why the rabbits committed the crime in groups. Because when they ran away in groups, the monks didn't know which one to chase first.
However, the beasts hit a wall this time. Before they could run to the phoenix tree, they screamed, and their hind legs were entangled by the fiery red spiritual energy, and the fat rabbits were hung upside down in the air.
A green light flashed at the neck of the beast, and the red rabbit blood spurted out. The rabbits in the middle of the phoenix tree bled before they could struggle, and they died with a kick of their legs. There was a sound of running in the woods outside the phoenix tree, and the rabbits that were not hit fled so fast that no one could see their shadows.
Feng Gui regretfully opened the curtain and walked out. He looked around and said, "What a pity, some beasts still escaped." His barrier was obviously flawless.
Xuan Yu wiped the corner of Du Heng's eyes: "Are you okay?"
Du Heng rubbed his eyes in embarrassment: "I said I wanted justice for myself, but I was bewitched by them as soon as I got out of the car."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "It's not bad. It's great that you can wake up in the formation formed by so many evil beasts. The three of us were fooled around back then."
Jing Nan's words comforted Du Heng infinitely. But Xiao Xiao in Du Heng's arms burst into tears. No wonder Xiao Xiao cried so hard. Anyone would feel sad if they woke up and saw their favorite snacks scattered all over the floor, right? Especially since the autumn rain hadn't stopped, the ground was wet, and potato chips and pea crisps were no longer edible.
Xiaoxiao cried so hard that Du Heng's clothes were wet. In the end, Du Heng used a piece of snake steak to coax him.
This time, they caught quite a lot of evil beasts, as many as 36. The evil beasts probably don't get along with Du Heng, and every time they meet, there will be heavy casualties. Jing Nan and the others are happy, and Feng Gui is already calculating when he can eat the rabbit brain.
Du Heng felt that Feng Gui's behavior was not very good. After all, he was eating snake meat and thinking about extorting the beast, which was not respectful to the snake.
However, by the evening, the head of the beast had become a spicy rabbit skull. Feng Gui and Xiao Xiao ate the brain with satisfaction, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of spicy rabbit skull.
Du Heng absentmindedly held the wooden barrel, and the two thin bamboos inside the barrel were drooping. It was true that what kind of owner you raise will be what kind of thing you raise. It was rare in the world that the good Pei bamboo could be raised so timidly by Du Heng.
After Jing Nan complained a few times, Du Heng didn't respond to him. Jing Nan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Du Heng's eyes: "Hey, you've come to your senses. What are you thinking about?"
Du Heng squeaked, "No, I didn't think about anything."
At noon, his secret was exposed by the black beast, and now he was thinking about whether to explain the whole story of how he got here. Being interrupted by Jing Nan, Du Heng came back to his senses: "What were you talking about just now?"
Jing Nan sighed: "I don't know who said that if there is a chance, I will be treated to non-spicy brain marrow. In the end, I waited until the flowers withered and still didn't see it."
Du Heng scratched his head. He did promise Jing Nan this. Fortunately, he still had a few rabbit heads in the refrigerator!
Du Heng stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make you some brain noodles!" Jing Nan asked, "Can we just eat the brains and not the noodles?"
Looking at Du Heng's evasive back, Jing Nan sighed, "It's hard for him."
Xuan Yu's voice rang in Jing Nan's ears, but there was no trace of Xuan Yu in the frame. Xuan Yu said, "Don't force him."
Jing Nan shrugged as if talking to himself: "Why force him to do anything? Everyone among us has a secret."
Whenever he encountered something that made him feel bored, Du Heng liked to cook. After making delicious food, most of his worries would be gone. For example, at this moment, he took out five bloody rabbit skulls and placed them on the chopping board.
He was not yet able to use a knife to pick open the cracks in the rabbit brain and take out the complete brain marrow like Xuan Yu, but he had his own tricks. Ever since he had spiritual energy, he would use spiritual energy to explore everything he did.
The spiritual energy groped along the bones of the rabbit brain and penetrated into the skull and attached to the inside of the bones. Du Heng exerted force suddenly, and the rabbit skull exploded, leaving five red and white rabbit brains on the chopping board.
He took a bamboo stick and gently poked the surface of the brain marrow. He lifted up a layer of transparent membrane with blood vessels on top of the brain marrow. After rolling the bamboo stick a few times, the blood vessels and membrane on the brain marrow were completely peeled off. The remaining brain marrow was healthy pink and white, and it looked very fresh.
In addition to the brain, Du Heng also took out some fresh squid, some snake meat slices and a handful of tender green vegetables. He put two spoonfuls of stewed hen soup in the casserole. The chicken soup was clear after skimming off the fat, and it gave off a tempting chicken soup smell when it was put on the stove.
The little wontons wandered around the stove and circled around. Du Heng touched them one by one. He took out some snacks from the storage bag and fed them. The pupils in Nianniansuisui's eyes were one single and one double, and Ciba's claws became sharper.
All this happened after they ate the Peiyuan Pill. Du Heng thought that the Peiyuan Pill might really be a good thing. When he went to the human cultivation world, he would buy more to keep as a reserve.
After feeding the animals, Xiaoxiao also came over. Looking at the soup in the pot, Xiaoxiao burped with a spicy taste: "Chiu Chiu?"
Du Heng smiled and touched the rabbit brains. "This is the rabbit brain noodles I promised to make for Jing Nan. He can't eat spicy food. You see, you and your uncle have eaten so many rabbit brains, you should let him taste some, right?"
Feng Gui put down the bone that he had sucked until it turned white, and said, "It's such a pity that Lao Nan can't eat spicy food. His fox life has lost a lot of fun."

The soup in the pot boiled, and Du Heng pushed the cleaned rabbit brain into the pot. After the rabbit brain was put into the pot, a layer of white foam appeared on the surface of the boiling water in the pot.
Du Heng patiently skimmed off the white foam and said, "I should have told you that spiciness is not a taste, but a pain sensation. Jing Nan and I can't eat anything too spicy because we are more sensitive to pain."
Feng Gui threw the bones into the kitchen waste bucket and walked to the stove. He looked at the casserole and said, "The soup is watery and tasteless."
Du Heng carefully scooped up a pair of rabbit brains with a spoon. The rabbit brains were tender and smooth, and the shaking rabbit brains spread to both sides on the spoon, revealing the soft and flexible inside. The middle of the brain marrow was pink, and Du Heng put the brain marrow in and continued to stew.
Hearing Feng Gui say this, he retorted: "That's not necessarily true. The fresher the ingredients, the simpler the cooking method and the more delicious the taste. If you don't believe me, just take a bite and you'll know."
Feng Gui walked towards the yard with his hands in his pockets: "I won't eat anymore. I'm afraid Lao Nan will nag me."
Du Heng burst out laughing. Feng Gui, who was fearless, actually had something to be afraid of?
As Feng Gui arrived at the pavilion, Xuan Yu came over. He was holding a bunch of wild chrysanthemums in his hand. The bright yellow flowers had a faint fragrance and were covered with water droplets.
Seeing the wild chrysanthemums, Du Heng smiled: "You went outside the car?" Xuan Yu nodded: "Yes, I went to explore the road ahead. The parking place for tonight has been selected. There is no need to keep watch tonight. I found a natural cave. No monsters will disturb us."
Du Heng smiled: "It's pretty good."
Xuan Yu put the wild chrysanthemums in a wine bottle and placed it on the table: "What delicious food are you making?"
Du Heng showed Xuan Yu what was in the pot: "Make brain noodles for Jing Nan. This isn't spicy, he can eat it."
Xuan Yu smiled and hugged Du Heng: "Don't spoil them like that, they don't actually need too much food."
Du Heng held Xuan Yu's hand and chuckled, "I know. I do this to relax myself."
After the color of the brain changed, Du Heng threw the squid slices and meat slices into it. He tasted it and added a little salt to the pot. Then he took three handfuls of dragon beard noodles and threw them into the pot. Of course, he did not forget to throw in the tender green vegetables.
Longxu noodles can be eaten as soon as they are boiled. After the soup in the pot boiled, Du Heng divided the noodles into three bowls. Two of the bowls contained only one brain flower and a ball of noodles, and the largest bowl contained three brain flowers, and at first glance, you couldn't even see the noodles.
Du Heng called Jing Nan: "Nan Nan, it's time to eat brain noodles."
Jing Nan immediately ran over: "I'm coming~"
The moment he saw the noodles, Jing Nan refused. Mainly because he only saw brain flower, the snow-white brain flower was poured on the noodles, and although there were meat slices and squid rolls piled on the side, Jing Nan didn't want to eat it just by looking at the grooves on the brain flower.
Xiaoxiao happily ate the food that Jingnan didn't want to eat. This guy didn't realize that he had just eaten four rabbit brains. He circled around Du Heng and begged him to give him a bite of rabbit brains.
As a result, Xiaoxiao couldn't stop eating the brain flower. The taste of the clear-boiled brain flower is completely different from the spicy one! In addition to feeling the delicate and smooth brain marrow, the spicy brain flower is also full of the flavor of the seasoning.
The braised brains were smooth and fragrant. A careful taste revealed that they had no fishy smell and were even sweet! Xiaoxiao smacked his lips, and with a quick turn of his eyes, he wandered over to Xuanyu to ask for food.
Xuan Yu picked up two pieces of squid for him. Xiao Xiao was not satisfied after eating them. He wanted to eat brains. So he asked, "Chirp!"
Xuan Yu picked up a piece of brain and, under Xiaoxiao's expectant eyes, he handed it to... Du Heng.
Xiaoxiao:!!!
Du Heng took the brain flower with a smile: "I have some in my bowl." Xuan Yu said gently: "You should like this taste."
Seeing that everyone liked brain flower, Jing Nan scooped up a spoonful of brain flower without hesitation. The texture of brain flower was like tofu, and some white brain flower was stuck on the edge of the wooden spoon. He sniffed and found no peculiar smell, then closed his eyes and prepared to put the spoon into his mouth.
There was suddenly a weight on the spoon. Jing Nan opened his eyes and saw Xiaoxiao hanging on the spoon, blinking at him in a cute way with her two big eyes.
Jing Nan calmly took Xiao Xiao off the spoon and said, "Your uncle just told me that you have eaten several piles of brains this afternoon. He asked me to tell you that you should eat what you need to replenish your body. Go to his room later and recite the new history of the demon tribe to him."
Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped laughing and ran back to the room without looking back. He didn't even read the new history of the demon race!
Du Heng sighed: "Why scare the child?"
Jing Nan said slowly: "I didn't scare him, his uncle did say that."
Du Heng was highly skeptical of this statement. He looked at Jing Nan's face. Judging from his face, Jing Nan's expression was not too calm. But after spending some time together, Du Heng knew that Jing Nan was a person who could fool others even when he lied.
Jing Nan poked a piece of brain into his mouth, and his eyes widened immediately: "Hmm!"
This is the taste. He finally understood why Feng Gui liked to eat this. The taste was really great. The soft and smooth rabbit brain was soaked in the freshness of the chicken soup. Jing Nan couldn't help but eat a whole rabbit brain. Looking at his bowl again, Jing Nan finally understood Du Heng's love for him.
However, when Jing Nan looked up, his mood became unhappy again. He saw Du Heng and Xuan Yu feeding each other!
Jing Nan was so angry that his nose was crooked. The two of them were showing off their affection without paying attention to others. It was really eye-catching. Were they bullying him for not having a Taoist partner? Jing Nan glared at the two of them, then held the big bowl and went to find Feng Gui: "Xixi, I'll let you taste a bite of the non-spicy brain flower. You will definitely be grateful to me."
Feng Gui: "No, it doesn't look tasty." Jing Nan: "You refuse to try?" Feng Gui: "Okay..."
The sun gradually climbed up the western mountain. In the hazy rain and mist, several people put the bicycle frame in the cave. The cave faces south, and the hillside facing the cave entrance is full of wild chrysanthemums. Even in the night, you can smell the fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Seeing the wild chrysanthemums, Jing Nan had an idea: "I'll pick some wild chrysanthemums and dry them to make tea to clear the mind and brighten the eyes." This would prevent him from being so angry next time he saw Xiaoyu and Du Heng showing their affection.
Jing Nan set off with the basket, and Ciba Wonton followed Jing Nan out of the cave. They had been locked in the car for most of the day, and now they just wanted to rush out and run wild. They were very restrained, and they would probably come back after playing for a while.
Du Heng was in his daily struggle again. On the chopping board in front of him was a large piece of brittle bones wrapped in tendons and skin. This was the treasure of the snake dragon, which Xuan Yu had taken down specially for Du Heng to cook.
Du Heng had a wrong understanding before. He always thought that the treasure in the palm was the piece of meat in the middle of the chicken claw. It was not until he saw Xuan Yu take out the treasure in the palm that he realized that the real treasure in the palm was not in the middle of the claw, but in the joint of the snake dragon.
There will be such brittle bones where the leg bones of a snake dragon connect to its body. Xuan Yu took out more than a dozen brittle bones of various sizes for Du Heng.
As for the piece of meat in the middle of the claw that Du Heng had thought was there... Xuan Yu demonstrated it and found that even a knife couldn't be inserted into that piece of meat, let alone eaten.
Du Heng had never seen such a huge treasure in his palm. The treasure in his palm he had eaten before was only as big as his thumb, and it was crispy and tender whether it was grilled or stir-fried. The piece of crispy bone in front of him was almost bigger than Du Heng's head, and Du Heng was once again at a loss as to what to do.
Xuan Yu saw that Du Heng looked a little confused, so he kindly asked, "What's wrong? Did I choose the wrong name?"
Du Heng smiled and shook his head: "No, no, you did a great job. It's just that the cartilage is too big and I don't know how to cook it." The reason why the treasure in the palm is delicious is because there are flexible tendons and meat next to its cartilage. If it were just cartilage, the taste would probably be much worse.
After much thought, Du Heng decided to make a stir-fried cumin ribs. In addition to the cumin ribs, he also planned to make a twice-cooked pork with snake meat. In addition, there were two pheasants that Feng Gui had caught before, and Du Heng also planned to stew them into a delicious chicken soup.
Jing Nan would use the oven later, so Du Heng wanted to roast a few more pigeons for him. He had been thinking about the pigeons for a long time, and if he was not allowed to eat them, he would cry and say that Du Heng did not care about him.
Xuan Yu took the knife from Du Heng: "Let me chop the crispy bones into small pieces." Du Heng has always been impressed by Xuan Yu's knife skills. Du Heng smiled and gestured: "Don't cut them too big, just the size of a thumb will do."
Du Heng took out ten baby pigeons from the refrigerator. He rinsed the pigeons and put them into the boiled brine.
Feng Gui got out of the car angrily, followed by Xiao Xiao, who looked dejected.
Du Heng turned around and knew that Xiaoxiao was being scolded again. Feng Gui looked like a parent who was furious at tutoring a stupid child, while Xiaoxiao was the stupid child who didn't dare to raise his head because of the scolding from his parents.
Alas, this uncle and nephew have a love-hate relationship and it can’t get along well.
Feng Gui was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. After he got out of the car frame, he walked towards the cave entrance. It seemed that he was going to explode if he didn't calm down.
Xiaoxiao hugged Du Heng's calf aggrievedly. Du Heng looked down and saw Xiaoxiao sticking to him like a large pendant.
Du Heng bent down and rubbed Xiaoxiao's head: "Did you get scolded?" Look how aggrieved the child is.
Xiaoxiao nodded sullenly. The new history of the demon race was so thick that he couldn't remember it at all. If only there was spiritual energy to bless him, he could engrave everything written in the book in his mind and never forget it.
Du Heng bent down and hugged Xiaoxiao: "It's okay, it's okay, take your time. How about I give you a roasted pigeon?" Xiaoxiao became happy again: "Chirp!"
Feng Gui's voice came from outside the cave. As soon as I heard it, I knew that Feng Daxian'er was trying hard to suppress his temper: "You can't even remember that little thing, and you still have the nerve to eat it?!"
It’s no wonder that Feng Gui looks down on Xiaoxiao. When Feng Gui was a child, his memory and endurance were better than Xiaoxiao’s.
Qingheng was very poor back then, and the three little animals at home were in urgent need of knowledge. Qingheng came up with a plan, he took the three pets to the library of the sect. Because time was tight, Fenggui and the others all developed the ability to remember everything they saw.
Xiaoxiao's mind was full of food. Every time Fenggui supervised him reading, he would get very angry. He couldn't understand why they could study so well when they were young, but now Xiaoxiao couldn't study well when he had such good conditions?
Xiaoxiao's head drooped and hung on Du Heng's shoulder. His self-confidence suffered a blow and he would never recover.
If there is roasted pigeon, maybe it can be coaxed, right?
