Yang Yuanqing and his friends didn't expect to meet Ye Wenqiu and his friends in this way. The wound from the last time that Sect Master Yang was scratched by the eight-clawed fire dragon had not healed yet, and he encountered strong winds again after arriving in the cave. God's will is like this. He wanted to show off, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten into a dog by the strong wind in the ruins. When he set out, he wanted to distance himself from Yu Jing and Su Xian, but fate made this Sect Master who regarded female cultivators as flies meet them again.
If Yu Jing and Su Xian hadn't helped him block the strong wind along the way, Yang Yuanqing would have been skewered by the various traps in the ruins. Don't ask Yang Yuanqing how he feels, he is in a very complicated mood now.
At this moment, Yang Yuanqing was sitting in the stone chamber facing a room full of female cultivators and the demon cultivator Jing Nan. He didn't know where to look.
Jing Nan held the pill in his hand and handed it to Su Xian: "Sect Master Su Xian, you are seriously injured. Take two pills."
Su Xian bowed gently to Jing Nan: "Thank you, Fox God."
At this time, the difference between Ning Pingxi and Jing Nan became apparent. There were also three patients sitting together. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yang Yuanqing looked pale and Yu Jing looked pale and haggard. Only Jing Nan could see at a glance that something was wrong with Su Xian.
Jing Nan smiled and said, "I've heard of the mind-binding technique before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jing's face turned pale and Su Xian turned her head away.
Yang Yuanqing turned his head suspiciously and looked at Jing Nan: "What kind of mind-binding technique is that?" Jing Nan smiled and said: "Go look it up in a book yourself."
In the past, Yang Yuanqing would have dared to use his status as a sect master to pressure Jing Nan. However, when they joined the main force, the first news they learned was that the three great demon gods were in the ruins. Moreover, the demon gods had been strolling under the noses of the major sect masters before, and the monks had enjoyed their services.
Yang Yuanqing touched his nose and looked down at the medicine that had just been applied to his chest. He could feel a cool breeze spreading around the wound. Just because of the medicine, Yang Yuanqing didn't dare to be mean to Jing Nan.
Jing Nan said to Su Xian in a gentle voice, "Chen Ke has appeared in your body. If you don't treat it well, it will cause hidden dangers. If you two don't mind, I can prepare some medicine for you. You can take a bath together today."
Hearing this, Yu Jing stood up and bowed to Jing Nan: "Thank you, Fox God."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Speaking of which, I think you three are very brave. You rushed in without caring about your own safety without knowing the situation inside the ruins." The unity of the human cultivators was beyond his imagination, which was a great blessing.
Du Heng always felt that something had happened while he was unconscious. Everyone was busy flying around in the ruins, as if they were looking for something. When Du Heng asked, no one could explain it. They just said that Elder Ye had told them to look around the Snow Cave to see if there was anything unusual.
They didn't find anything unusual, but they did find a lot of wild game. In the afternoon, several monks found a group of fat wild boars in the woods to the west. In the past, the monks would have ignored these wild boars, but they were lucky enough to have eaten the food Du Heng cooked, and they were greedy for a moment.
Immediately, a cultivator came to the cave to find Du Heng: "Junior Brother Du, can you take a look at these wild boars? Can you eat them?" Du Heng followed the cultivator into the forest to take a look. He nodded on the spot: "Yes, they can be eaten!"
The monks took more than a dozen tall wild boars, but they only knew how to stab them to death, but did not know how to remove the hair. Fortunately, Xiaoyu came back from the south at this time, and the task of cleaning up the wild boars was handed over to him!
Xiaoyu set up a pot on the open space next to the lake and boiled water. While the flames were licking the bottom of the pot, Xiaoyu used the wood-attracting talisman to make a large wooden table and several large wooden basins.
Du Heng and Xiao Xiao gathered around Xiao Yu, and Du Heng would occasionally stuff a piece of peach cake into Xiao Yu's mouth. Xiao Yu liked this kind of sweet and crispy snack, and he praised Du Heng while eating, "It's delicious. By the way, what are you going to do with these wild boars? Are you going to make braised pork?"
To be honest, Du Heng hadn't figured out what to do. He looked at Xiao Xiao with a headache. When he didn't know what to eat, he would always get unexpected results by asking Xiao Xiao: "Xiao Xiao, what do you want to eat?"
Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and then chirped. Xuanyu translated, "Xiaoxiao said that one time his uncle brought him a whole pig from the beast tribe. Although it was a whole pig, it was already roasted. It tasted terrible when he ate it, but he thought you could make a delicious roasted whole pig."
Du Heng's mouth twitched: "Ah, thank you." Xiaoxiao really knows how to give Du Heng a difficult question. He held his chin and thought for a while before saying: "I have eaten roast suckling pig, but I have never made it. And..."
Moreover...the monks kept only the big fat pigs, and let all the small pigs go. It was a bit difficult to make roast suckling pigs from such a big pig.
Suddenly, Du Heng had an idea. He suddenly remembered what he could do: "I know! I can make steamed pork!" He had eaten it once before. The steamed pork was fat but not greasy, and it was very delicious! He thought he could give it a try!
Xiaoyu looked at Du Heng with a smile: "Do you need my help?" Needless to say, without Xiaoyu's help, Du Heng would definitely not be able to make this dish by himself.
Not only can he not remove the hair, he can't also completely remove the bones.
After the water in the pot boiled, Xuan Yu controlled the wild boar with long gray-black mane and floated it in the air.
Then it was time to witness the miracle, and that was why Du Heng sat next to him. When Du Heng was a child, he had seen people slaughtering pigs. After boiling the pig hair with boiling water, they would use a slightly curled iron sheet to scrape off the pig hair, but Xuan Yu didn't need to be so troublesome at all.
A green spiritual light emanated from Xuan Yu's hand, and the spiritual light rolled up the water in the pot and evenly covered the pig. The pig was now surrounded by boiling water. The water seemed to be still at first, but after a while Du Heng saw that the water became dirty. After the sound of rushing water, the hair and dirt on the wild boar fell off the pig. Xuan Yu lightly lifted his finger, and the dirty water flowed away from the pig and flew into the lake not far away, leaving behind white meat.
It's amazing that the wild boar's fur is black, but its skin is white. Xuan Yu slowly lowered the huge pig onto the wooden table, with its huge head facing Du Heng. The wild boar's two snow-white fangs were half a foot long and sticking out from the corners of its lips.
Just as Xuan Yu picked up the long knife and prepared to chop off the pig's head, Du Heng said, "Xiao Yu, when making steamed pig, you need to keep the pig's head, but remove the bones inside."
Xuan Yu raised his eyebrows, and the long knife in his hand made a beautiful arc. He smiled and said, "No problem." He cut open the wild boar's belly neatly, and the spiritual energy rolled up the pig's internal organs and flew into a wooden basin not far away. Then he reached into the pig's abdominal cavity, and Du Heng only heard the thin sound of cutting.
After a while, Xuan Yu pulled a complete set of pig bones out of the abdominal cavity. Xiao Yuyao was almost stunned, and he flapped his wings: "Chiji." He also wanted to have such good knife skills!
Xuan Yu placed the pig bones and the pig body in two large wooden basins. He said slowly, "Is there any other preparation needed for steaming the pig?"
Du Heng thought for a moment and said, "We also need to make a few large steamers and iron pots that can hold all the pigs intact. Oh, by the way, I also need to prepare seasoning for marinating the meat." Du Heng stuffed the last peach cake on the plate into Xuan Yu's mouth. He stood up and said to Xuan Yu, "I'll go ask Nan Nan for some monk fruits."
After Xuan Yu had finished blanching the four pigs, Du Heng came to Xiao Yu again with two barrels of seasonings he had prepared. One barrel was the white wine he brewed, and the other barrel was brick red and looked like powder.
As soon as Du Heng opened the lid of the barrel, Xiao Xiao leaned over to take a look, and then he sneezed. Du Heng laughed: "How can it smell like that? This is seasoning powder, and the spices in it are very pungent."
At this time, Jing Nan's voice was heard: "Hey, is the delicious food ready?" Du Heng and the others turned around and saw Jing Nan walking towards them along the path by the lake with his hands in his pockets.
Xuan Yu asked, "Are they all healed?" Jing Nan said, "Well, the remaining injuries are minor, Ning Pingxi and the others can handle them. Du Heng, what are you doing? Such a big pig, do you want to pickle it directly?"
Du Heng was using his spiritual energy to evenly spread the white wine in the barrel on the pork sliced by Xuan Yu. He said, "This is my first time making it, too. I've seen others do it before, so I want to give it a try."
Jing Nan sat down on the stone next to him: "Oh~ It looks very impressive."
Yang Yuanqing and Wen Qiong stood at the high cave entrance and looked at Xuan Yu and his companions who were busy by the lake. He was shocked: "I didn't expect the demon gods to be like this." Wen Qiong smiled and said: "When I first saw them, I also found it incredible. But after a long time, I realized that they are very good demons, peaceful, kind, courageous and capable."
Yang Yuanqing sighed, "I feel that I have been greatly shocked during this period." He finally accepted that Wen Qiong was a woman, and then found that they were involved in a troublesome dispute. Wen Qiong smiled and said, "Who isn't?"
Yang Yuanqing sighed, "I was actually very scared to be trapped here, but after seeing the Dragon King and the Fox God, I felt that it was nothing. At most, I can just practice diligently here. After all, life is about practicing wherever you are."
Wen Qiong smiled and patted Yang Yuanqing on the shoulder: "Brother Yang, you are becoming more and more like a hermit." Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly: "Brother Wen, please stop making fun of me."
Yang Yuanqing sighed, "Four of the five major sects' leaders are now trapped here, and I don't know where Sect Leader Wang is at the moment." Wen Qiong looked up at the sky, "If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in the ruins. Maybe he has had another adventure and has already left."
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It would be great if that were the case. If Sect Master Wang could get out, we might be able to work together inside and outside to open the ruins."

After the white wine on the steamed pig had dried a little, Du Heng applied it twice more. This time the pig was bigger, and he was afraid that it would have a fishy smell if it was not marinated well. In addition, he smeared thick marinade on the inside and outside of the pig, and the white and tender pig was dyed brick red by the marinade.
At this time, the steaming rack with small holes on the bottom that Xuan Yu helped to make was also completed. The steaming rack was rectangular and could accommodate a whole pig. After covering it with a special lid, Du Heng placed the steaming rack on a wooden stool to the side to marinate quietly.
At this moment, he only regretted that Xixi had left. If Xixi was here, Du Heng would definitely ask him to carve a time-rapid-passing technique on the steamer.
Du Heng pickled two pigs in total, and the remaining meat was cut into pieces by Xiaoyu and stored in a storage bag. Seeing that Xiaoyu was about to clean up the wild boar's internal organs again, Jingnan stood up and left: "I really admire you, why do you always have to clean up these pickled things? Ugh~" Not only did he leave by himself, he also took Xiaoxiao and Xiaomao away.
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan's back as he left. He said depressedly, "Last time I made crispy pork intestines, Nan Nan was very happy eating them." Xuan Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about him."
Cleaning the internal organs was a hassle. Even for Xiaoyu, who was very good at doing things, it took her half a day to deal with more than a dozen intestines. When the sun was setting, two strange stoves appeared by the lake. The stoves were made of earth and stone, with a blazing fire in the middle. Above the flames was a large iron pot, and on top of the iron pot was a square steaming rack.
Before putting the steamer on the pot, Du Heng touched the pig with white wine for the last time. The steam in the pot rushed into the steamer under the effect of the formation, and soon Du Heng saw white steam coming out of the steamer.
At this time, the small iron brush that Du Heng had prepared came in handy. After Xuan Yu opened the lid of the steaming rack, Du Heng directed his small steel brush to evenly prick the pig skin. After pricking it, Du Heng also poured ice water on the pig skin.
Xuan Yu was puzzled: "What is this for?"
Du Heng explained: "Poke holes in the pig skin to let the fat inside flow out, so it won't be too greasy when eaten. Pour ice water on the pig skin to shrink it, making it crispier when eaten."
Xuan Yu thought for a moment: "Can it be done this way?" Du Heng nodded: "Yes! There is a place in my hometown that is famous for its steamed pork. But this is my first time making it, I don't know if I can make it half as delicious as the one in my hometown."
Xuan Yu smiled and said, "Of course you can."
Du Heng scratched his head: "Don't flatter me, I've had many failures, hahaha~"
At this time, a golden-red spiritual light flew in the northern sky. Xuan Yu looked up and saw: "Xixi is back." Du Heng looked up at the sky: "Did Xixi catch Jiu Shisan?"
Xuan Yu shook his head: "It seems that he is the only one."
Soon Feng Gui landed on the lakeside. He walked around the two large stoves for a few times: "What is this?" Du Heng said: "It's steaming a pig. It takes more than half an hour to steam it. It's not ready yet."
Feng Gui nodded, and he looked around: "Where's Nan Nan?" Xuan Yu said: "When he saw me dealing with the internal organs, he left without even looking back. Did you find anything?"
Feng Gui said, "The messenger bird exploded halfway through its flight. I suspect Jiu Shisan did something to it. I may have already alerted the enemy." Xuan Yu said calmly, "The small cave is as warm as spring. He may have noticed it a long time ago. It's okay. Let's think of a way. Tomorrow I want to use the deduction technique to find the center of the demon-killing formation."
Feng Gui nodded: "Yes."
As he was speaking, he saw a ray of light streaking across the sky from the east. This ray of light was so bright and so fast that if it hadn't been for its strange trajectory, Du Heng would have thought it was a meteor.
Feng Gui looked up and saw that his brows had relaxed: "Jing Hong is here."
Du Heng was stunned: "Jinghong?" Why is Jinghong here? Didn't Jinghong go to keep an eye on Wang Muye? When Du Heng and Wang Muye were trapped in the small cave, he didn't see Jinghong.
Jinghong's appearance alarmed the monks in the cave, and Ye Wenqiu and his companions came out of the camp and flew into the air on their swords. Jinghong stopped in the air, and the place where she stopped was just above the ice and snow tower built by Xiaoxiao and his companions.
Jinghong bowed to everyone, and then she threw out a gray storage bag from her sleeve. The storage bag was still moving, and it seemed that someone was locked inside. Jinghong said slowly, "Mr. Feng, I brought Jiu Shisan here."
Feng Gui nodded: "Okay." If he wasn't standing next to two large stoves, Feng Gui would have looked more dignified.
Du Heng looked at the cave anxiously. He wanted to go and listen! However, he couldn't go because he had to guard his steamed pig. Du Heng burst into tears. Why didn't he do something else? Why did he have to challenge the steamed pig? Wouldn't he be better at making braised pork? If he made braised pork, everyone would have eaten it long ago!
However, no matter how much Du Heng roared in his heart, he could not leave the stove.
At this time, a graceful figure was walking towards the lakeside. Du Heng turned around and smiled: "Senior sister, you are awake!" The person who came was none other than Du Heng's fourth senior sister He Jianing.
He Jianing smiled and said, "I feel much more energetic after sleeping for an afternoon. What delicious food is my junior brother cooking? It smells so good." Du Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Steamed pig, just for this. I don't know what they are doing inside now."
He Jianing smiled and said, "What's the difficulty?" She clapped her hands gently, and saw the water in the lake slowly rise, and a water mirror with a diameter of ten feet appeared in front of Du Heng. He Jianing smiled and said, "Senior sister taught me the art of water mirror, and it comes in handy now."
Du Heng looked at the water mirror and saw the scene in the cave. He saw Xuan Yu and the others sitting upright, and a bald old man kneeling in the middle of the cave. The old man was injured and there was blood on the corners of his lips. Jing Hong knelt beside the old man, and his face was still so sad.
Du Heng was amazed: "Senior Sister, this is great! Oh, by the way, Senior Sister, why aren't you watching in the cave?"
He Jianing smiled and said, "I don't like to join in the fun, and I think something very sad will happen in the cave tonight. I can't bear to see things that make me feel aggrieved, so I just came out to find my junior brother." Du Heng thought for a while and said, "Then Senior Sister, I won't watch it anymore. I'll talk to you."
If what He Jianing said was true, wouldn't He Jianing, who was watching with him, feel very uncomfortable?
He Jianing smiled and said, "It's okay, just look. Senior sister is in a better mood when she sees you. You are much cuter than that little bastard Mu Qian."
Du Heng heard a familiar name. Mu Qian was not the one from Dingkun Sect that he met in Dongji Mountain... Ah! By the way, Xu Changge said that day that they were all disciples of the headmaster, so the most low-key Mu Qian at that time was actually his fifth senior brother? !
Seeing Du Heng's silly look, He Jianing laughed: "You just remembered it now?" Du Heng said embarrassedly: "I am stupid, please don't blame me, Senior Sister. If possible, don't tell Fifth Brother..."
He Jianing said, "Don't worry, Fifth Junior Brother won't mind. He is a humble person and the kindest person. Speaking of which, we are six brothers, and each of us has a different personality."
In the water mirror, only the shadow of a person was seen swaying, but no words could be heard. Du Heng was really annoyed. He scratched his head in frustration: "Senior sister, there is no sound in the water mirror."
He Jianing spread his hands innocently: "When my senior sister taught me, she didn't teach me how to make the water mirror emit human voices."
Du Heng stared at He Jianing gloomily. He Jianing laughed. She reached out and pinched Du Heng's face: "Okay, stop gossiping. You have such a good relationship with Long Jun and the others. They will tell you what happened later."
After saying this, the water mirror turned into ordinary water and flowed into the Spirit Lake. Du Heng looked up at the brightly lit cave entrance, and he was depressed again: "Why should I challenge the steamed pig?!"
The night wind was a little cold. Du Heng and He Jianing were guarding the campfire, listening to the crackling of the firewood. Du Heng flipped through his storage bag and asked, "Are you hungry, Senior Sister? I'll bake you something delicious." He Jianing squinted her eyes and said, "Sure, sure."
Du Heng took out two fist-sized potatoes from his storage bag and buried them in the red charcoal fire below the campfire. He Jianing was happy: "I thought Junior Brother was going to treat me to something delicious, but I didn't expect you to treat me so perfunctorily, and even used soil to treat me perfunctorily."
Du Heng asked, "Sister, don't you like to eat earthworms?"
He Jianing lifted her long hair and said, "I ate too much of it when I was a kid. Every meal was filled with it. Even if I didn't like it, I couldn't pick it out."
Du Heng said embarrassedly: "Then Senior Sister, I will bake something else for you, don't be angry." He Jianing laughed again: "Little Junior Brother, how can you be so cute? Don't worry, Senior Sister loves everything you cook."
He Jianing tilted his head and looked at Du Heng: "There are six of us brothers. Except for the second brother, you have met the rest, right?"
Du Heng nodded, and took out a small bamboo stick from his storage bag. He put a few fresh mushrooms on the stick and stuck it next to the campfire.
Du Heng said: "Yes, the first person to meet should be the fifth senior brother, then the third senior sister and the eldest senior brother, and then the fourth senior sister."
He Jianing said, "Your eldest brother is a proud son of a famous family. Although his cultivation is not the highest among his fellow disciples, he is the most convincing. He is gentle and calm, and he can remain calm even if a mountain collapses in front of him. Among the fellow disciples, the eldest brother has the best temper." Du Heng pricked up his ears. It seemed that the fourth sister came to introduce the sect to him! Great!
Du Heng nodded: "Yes, yes, senior brother is a very good person." At that time, Qi Yushu didn't know that Du Heng was his junior brother, so he helped him copy the mental method. Qi Yushu was one of the best people he had ever met.
He Jianing said, "Second Senior Brother's name is Shang Zhengqing. Before he joined the sect, he was the son of a merchant family in a nearby city. He was supposed to deal with money all his life, but by some strange coincidence he caught the eye of Master and became her disciple. Second Senior Brother is very good at dealing with people, and he should be in the sect now... No, with such a big thing happening, he must have rushed to Shenxu Palace, and maybe he is trying to find a way to save us right now."
Du Heng immediately had a favorable impression of his second senior brother, whom he had never met before. He smiled and said, "Second senior brother is a really good person." He did not take advantage of his fellow disciples' troubles to seize power, but also tried his best to save people. Just for this reason, the second senior brother was better than many cultivators.
He Jianing said, "Your third sister is also from a famous family. Her family was originally close to Langhuan Pavilion, and most of her disciples went to Langhuan Pavilion to become monks. However, she admired the master and joined Dingkun Sect. Although she looks gentle and dignified, she is actually very difficult to mess with."
Du Heng thought of the first time he met his third sister. She danced with her long sword so vigorously that she forced a cultivator from Zhenhuang Mountain to the point where he had no chance to defend himself. After the fight, she said gently, "Thank you for giving in," which made the other party very angry.
Du Heng nodded: "Third Senior Sister has a very high level of cultivation." He Jianing nodded: "Yes, Third Senior Sister is born with water spiritual roots, and is also the one with the highest level of cultivation among our brothers and sisters."
He Jianing folded her arms, "Well... Fifth Junior Brother Mu Qian is a single-grade earth spirit root disciple, and he has been in the sect for less than a hundred years. He is rather dull and doesn't like to talk, but he is very obedient. He listens to whatever Master says."
Du Heng turned the mushrooms over. The mushrooms near the campfire had already been roasted out of moisture, and some parts had turned slightly yellow.
After He Jianing finished speaking, she stared at the campfire in a daze. Du Heng casually asked, "Senior sister, what about you?" He Jianing briefly introduced the situation of other senior brothers and sisters, but did not mention her own. So far, Du Heng only knew the name and appearance of the fourth senior sister, and knew nothing about the others.
He Jianing smiled: "Junior brother is very interested in me!"
Du Heng sprinkled some seasoning on the mushrooms and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you don't have to say it if you don't want to!"

He Jianing said, "As for me, it's a complicated story. I was poor when I was young, my father was an alcoholic and my mother died young. Later, my father couldn't pay for his alcohol, so he sold me to a brothel to pay off the debt." Hearing this, Du Heng looked at He Jianing in surprise: "Huh?"
He Jianing looked at the bonfire calmly: "I was only six years old when I entered the building. I worked as a handyman for two years. Then the mother in the building saw that I was good-looking and stopped me from doing handyman work. When I was eight years old, I started to learn how to sing and dance to please men."
Du Heng looked at He Jianing distressedly. He didn't expect that He Jianing had such a miserable past. He Jianing said, "I was lucky. When I was ten years old, a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect went to the building to have fun and took a fancy to me. At that time, he found that I had a rare pure yin constitution, which is what people in the cultivation world call... a natural furnace. He brought me back to the Hehuan Sect and accepted me as his disciple."
Du Heng felt even more distressed: "What happened next?"
He Jianing said: "The requirements of the Hehuan Sect are stricter than those in the building. If you don't practice well, you will be beaten. But because of my physical condition, I was spared a lot of punishment. I thought I would practice honestly in the Hehuan Sect, and when I was old enough, I would become a furnace for other cultivators. If I'm lucky, I might become their concubine, and that's it for my life."
Du Heng paused and asked, "And then?"
He Jianing said, "When I was twelve years old, the leader of Dingkun Sect came to Hehuan Sect, and the elders sent me to serve him. I used all my skills to serve him, you know."
Du Heng was stunned: "No... I don't really understand..." Wen Qiong is a woman! What results can He Jianing achieve?
He Jianing smiled: "Now that I think about it, I must have been really stupid back then. I was only twelve years old, with no breasts and no butt. The leader of Dingkun Sect would have to be blind to like me. But I was so confident at that time. I thought I had a pure yin body and no one would dislike me."
Du Heng couldn't help but smile: "And then?"
He Jianing said, "Wen Qiong told me why he wanted to take this path. He asked me if I wanted to practice with him and see different scenery." Du Heng smiled and said, "And did you agree?! So you became Master's disciple just like that?"
He Jianing glanced at Du Heng slyly, and she chuckled: "I scolded him, I said he was a lunatic. I have a pure yin body, what other options do I have except to be a furnace for others?" Du Heng was stunned: "Ah..."
He Jianing said: "Then Wen Qiong took me back to Dingkun Sect. For a long time, I was lazy and wanted to seduce Master to bed. However, she beat me every time." Du Heng was silent: ...
He Jianing smiled and said, "Then one day, I saw Master's true form. You know what? When Master came over in her little red dress, she was so cute. She said that this was the real her. She was a cultivator with five spiritual roots, and everyone said she was a waste, but she had walked through Dongji Mountain and saw a different scenery. She asked me if I wanted to practice with her seriously. I was moved at that moment!"
Du Heng sighed: "Are you shocked by the sea of stars in Master's eyes?!"
He Jianing looked around and said, "No, I'll tell you a secret. I was touched by the cuteness of my little master. I thought, this little girl, who is about the same age as me, is not as pretty as me, and her spiritual roots are not as good as mine. If she can do it, why can't I do it?"
Du Heng hesitated, and asked quietly, "After Master knew about this...didn't he beat you to death?"
He Jianing smiled and said, "I was beaten, but that was a long time ago. Until now, I am grateful to Master. If it weren't for her, I would have lived a ridiculous life like the others in the Hehuan Sect. Now I see more scenery and have more possibilities. I thank Master."
Du Heng agreed: "Yes, Master is very good."
The mushrooms had shrunk, exuding a strong mushroom aroma, mixed with the aroma of the steamed pork behind him, He Jianing felt that her appetite was crawling up. Du Heng handed the mushrooms to He Jianing: "Sister, if you didn't say it, I would have thought you were a very lively person."
After all, He Jianing was dressed in red and had a lively and enthusiastic personality. She didn't look like a lonely person at all. However, it was unexpected that such a He Jianing would rather ignore the excitement in the cave and run out to accompany Du Heng to enjoy the cold wind.
He Jianing took the mushroom and took a bite. Her eyes lit up: "This mushroom is delicious. Junior brother, you are so good at cooking!" She took two bites and wrapped the whole mushroom in her mouth. She chewed the mushroom and said: "Junior brother, let me tell you, it's best not to be curious. Some things are more annoying to know than not to know."
Du Heng agreed with this: "Yes."
The smell of the steamed pork became more and more fragrant. Du Heng sniffed it and felt that it was almost time. He called He Jianing: "Senior sister, can you help me taste it?" He Jianing happily got up: "Yes, yes."
The pair of senior and junior brothers gathered in front of the steaming rack. There was smoke and fog around the steaming rack, and a thick layer of oil floated on the water in the big pot below. Du Heng opened the lid of the steaming rack and gently poked the pig with chopsticks. The chopsticks easily pierced the pork, and Du Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's cooked!"
He used a kitchen knife to cut two cuts on the side of the pig, and Du Heng took out a triangular piece of pork belly from the steamer and placed it on a plate. Du Heng cut a few cuts on the pork on the plate. He sprinkled sesame seeds and sesame oil on the meat, and after stirring it a little, he handed the plate to He Jianing: "Senior sister, how about you try it?"
The skin of the steamed pork is slightly red, the fat under the skin is white, and the layers of fat and lean meat in between the fat look very appetizing. He Jianing picked up a piece with a bamboo stick and put it into her mouth. After chewing it twice, she held her face happily and said, "It's delicious! Hmm! How can it be so delicious!"
The pork was chewy and fat but not greasy. It didn't taste as mushy as other steamed dishes. It tasted dry and crisp. With sesame and sesame oil, you'd want more. A piece of hot meat on a cold night made you happy. A sense of satisfaction burst out from your stomach and swept through your body. He Jianing sighed comfortably.
He Jianing said happily: "Junior brother, when we get to Dingkun Sect, I will go to your cave every day to eat." After she took another bite of meat, she fell into sweet distress again: "No, no, how can I go there every day? I will get fat to death if I do that."
Du Heng almost laughed out loud: "Senior sister is a cultivator, she won't get fat no matter how much she eats."
He Jianing wanted to say something, but heard a loud bang from the cave above his head. Du Heng's hand shook, and the meat on the plate fell to the ground.
He raised his head and looked towards the cave, only to see the rocks above the cave collapsed and two figures rushed out from the ashes. The two figures chased each other and then crashed heavily into the slide built by Xiaoxiao and the others. With a loud bang, the crystal tower shattered and the ice broke into pieces and splashed everywhere.
He Jianing took a step forward, and a blue barrier appeared in her hand, covering Du Heng and the steaming rack beside them. The broken ice cubes hit the barrier with a crackling sound, and Du Heng felt that if the broken ice hit his pot, it would definitely break through his iron pot.
Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu appeared at the entrance of the cave. Xiaoxiao was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!" The slide he had worked so hard to build was gone!
Du Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiaoxiao and the others appear. His eyes fell on the snowy plain in the middle of the lake, and he didn't know who started the fight.
