Seeing that he couldn't fool Du Heng, Jing Nan felt very regretful: "It seems that we are not destined to be master and disciple, but it's okay. In view of the delicious food you made for me, I will help you practice!" Du Heng perfunctorily said: "Yes, thank you, Doctor Jing."
Du Heng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Doctor Jing, what did you want to tell me just now? Why didn't Xuan Yu let you say it?" What Jing Nan said would indeed make a cultivator who entered the Tao with culinary skills frustrated, but Du Heng was different.
Du Heng is just a little chef who likes to tinker with food. He doesn't want to become a Taoist priest through cooking. He thinks it is a happy thing to cook delicious food for people around him. He doesn't care whether he can become a Taoist priest or not, as long as he can have delicious food.
Jing Nan looked in Xuan Yu's direction and waved to Du Heng: "Come, follow me." Du Heng followed Jing Nan's footsteps and walked deep into the medicinal field: "Why are you here so mysteriously..."
Jing Nan whispered, "You may not realize that what you made is different, but we have already felt it. Let me tell you in a simple way that you can understand, Du Heng, what you made is a different kind of elixir. Do you understand what I mean?"
Du Heng shook his head: "I don't understand."
Jing Nan smiled and said, "I ate the noodles you made last night, and I felt very full after I went back home." Du Heng nodded, "Yeah, you ate four bowls, so you will feel full." Jing Nan smiled and shook his head, "In fact, I have already used my spiritual energy to dissolve it, but I still feel very full."
Du Heng was puzzled: "What do you mean?" Jing Nan said: "No matter how the food prepared by ordinary chefs tastes, once you eat it, the spiritual energy will circulate and the food will be almost digested. But last night, I felt like I ate a belly full of Yang Yuan Dan, and the spiritual energy almost made me explode."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan suspiciously: "I'm not well educated, so don't treat me as an ass." Jing Nan smiled and said, "I'm not lying to you, Xuan Yu knew it a long time ago, so you see he only eats three bowls, he can't handle more."
Du Heng didn't understand: "Why? What's the difference between me and other chefs? The same ingredients, the same seasonings, how can the things I make become different kinds of pills?" After Du Heng said this, he remembered the Fantasy Sky Bead.
He remembered that the Demon Lord Yan Buhui broke through the shackles and left his body just because he ate a peanut in the Kung Pao Chicken he made! He didn't know whether that guy succeeded in leaving his body, but he did break through after eating the food Du Heng made! Could it be... because of the Fantasy Sky Pearl again?
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Looking at your expression, you must have thought of something. It's okay. Everyone in Yikeshu Village has secrets. Don't be afraid. You are always safe here."
Du Heng said dryly: "Doctor Jing, if it is really as you said, why can Xiaoxiao eat the food I cook without any hesitation?" Jing Nan sighed: "Xiaoxiao is a pitiful child. He should have a natural spiritual root, the most powerful of all spiritual roots. But when he was still an egg, his spiritual root was destroyed by someone, and his meridians were broken. He will never be able to transform in this life, and he will not be able to practice. The spiritual veins in his body are broken, and even if he eats a lot of food, he can't retain spiritual energy."
Du Heng felt very disappointed. So that's what happened! Du Heng asked, "Can Xiaoxiao be cured?"
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Ah Heng, I think too highly of you. Most people would be worried after knowing their situation, but you are concerned about Xiao Xiao?" If Du Heng's situation were to be spread, he would be remembered by many people in the cultivation world. By then, both good and evil would chase him, either praising him or secretly imprisoning him, just to get the dishes he cooked. Du Heng is not stupid, he must understand this principle, but he is concerned about Xiao Xiao?
Jing Nan sighed: "Perhaps only a saint can save him." Du Heng said: "Where is the saint? I will go and ask him for help. If that doesn't work, I will cook for him. As long as he is willing to help Xiaoxiao, I am willing to do it."
Jing Nan looked Du Heng up and down, and his expression suddenly changed. If Jing Nan looked like a good-tempered man before, at this moment, he took off the mask of smile and revealed his true nature. Jing Nan said calmly and sadly: "The saint is dead. Ten thousand years ago, in order to save the Taixu Realm, he used all his cultivation to pull the Taixu Realm out of the collapse of the Chaos Sea, but his soul was split and fell in the world."
Du Heng fell silent after hearing this. Jing Nan smiled and said, "Everything has its destiny. It's your destiny to come here, and it's also Xiaoxiao's destiny to be like this. Living well in the present is more important than anything else. What do you think?"
Du Heng nodded: "You are right." Du Heng saluted Jing Nan solemnly: "Thank you, Doctor Jing, for telling me this." Du Heng was very grateful to him for frankly telling him about his condition the day after Du Heng came to a tree.
Jing Nan blinked and said to Du Heng: "Xuan Yu didn't let me tell you this." Du Heng smiled and asked: "Why?"
Jing Nan said, "I'm afraid you'll be unhappy after you know it, and I'm also afraid you won't be able to stay here peacefully." Du Heng nodded, "Well, I won't tell him." He liked this village. Whether it was Xuan Yuxiao or Jing Nan, from the first time he saw them, he knew they had no bad intentions towards him. That was enough.
Xiaoxiao followed Du Heng's footsteps and chased over: "Chirp, chirp." Du Heng smiled when he saw Xiaoxiao: "Didn't you just eat?" Xiaoxiao fluttered his wings and jumped onto Du Heng. Du Heng reached out and caught him: "We are out of meat. We can only eat vegetables from now on."
Xiaoxiao froze: "Chiu?" Du Heng sighed: "We've finished eating the Brahma Chicken. Doctor Jing only has spiritual plants here. We have no meat." Xiaoxiao was struck by lightning: "Chiu!"
Jing Nan was all smiles. Ever since he told Du Heng about Du Heng's situation, Du Heng felt that Jing Nan had become closer to him. Jing Nan smiled and said, "Isn't it easy for the demon world to eat meat? Just go out and catch it."
Du Heng's eyes lit up: "Can you catch it?" Jing Nan nodded affirmatively. Thank God, the cultivation world is not modern. In his time, sparrows became second-class protected animals, and hunting them in the mountains was even illegal.
Jing Nan pointed to the snow-covered mountains outside the barrier and said, "Look, there are many wild animals on the mountains outside the barrier."
Three hours later, Xuan Yu's new house was almost built. Old Xia wiped the sweat off his head and bowed to Xuan Yu: "Mr. Xuan, I am glad to have accomplished your mission. The palace you requested is now built."
Behind them was a brand new small building, with blue bricks and black tiles, and large floor-to-ceiling glazed windows that sparkled. Standing in the yard, one could see the neat furnishings in the house. There was only a bluestone main road in the yard, and black soil on both sides. Originally, Old Xia wanted to promote the birth of exotic flowers and plants, but Xuan Yu stopped him.
Xuan Yu nodded: "Thank you." Old Xia bent even lower: "I dare not, I dare not."
Xuan Yu looked at Old Xia and said, "Don't talk nonsense about Du Heng." Old Xia stretched out his hand tremblingly and said, "I am willing to swear a great oath to protect my inner demons." Xuan Yu said, "Go ahead."
Du Heng and his companions walked up the mountain on the snow. Standing on the southern mountain, they could see Xuan Yu's new house. Jing Nan smiled and said, "Ah Heng, look, your house has been built." Du Heng looked back and saw that the original broken house in the barrier had been replaced by a brand new small building. Now looking at the barrier again, Jing Nan and Xuan Yu's houses were like a pair of twins surrounding the palace of the Phoenix Returning.
Jing Nan chuckled: "When Feng Gui comes back, I will definitely laugh at his taste. Look at him, he has a penny-wise smell even when choosing a house." Don't say it, it's really like this. Under the barrier in the valley, only Feng Gui's palace seems out of place.
Du Heng was happy: "Doctor Jing, can I dig some bamboos from behind your house and plant them behind mine?" Jing Nan said, "Good vision, this way we can squeeze Feng Gui even more." Xiaoxiao didn't show any indignation that his relatives were being squeezed out, he just laughed.
Du Heng set up traps under Jing Nan's guidance. There were indeed many animals on Nanshan Mountain. When the three of them set up the fourth trap and looked back, they saw a four-horned sheep fell into the first trap they set.
Seeing the sheep, Jing Nan frowned: "..." Du Heng was overjoyed: "What a big fat sheep! Xiaoxiao, we can eat fat sheep hotpot!" Xiaoxiao flapped her wings: "Swoosh, swish, swish~"
Xuan Yu stood under the tree and watched Elder Xia go away. The cow that sent them back lay in the water under the tree and swung its tail leisurely. When Du Heng and his friends came down from the South Mountain, they happened to see Xuan Yu looking back. Du Heng asked, "Did Elder Xia go back?" Xuan Yu nodded, "Yes."
Du Heng felt a little regretful: "I wanted to keep him for dinner, but forget it. By the way, Xuanyu, we caught a sheep! Shall we have Little Sheep Hotpot tonight?"
Du Heng walked towards the new house happily with the storage bag in his hand. As he walked, he exclaimed, "This house is so beautiful!" Xiaoxiao responded to him with a chirp. But Jing Nan, who was walking behind him, was not so relaxed: "Earthworms were found on the South Mountain." Xuan Yu stopped and looked in the direction of the South Mountain: "They shouldn't come here. Have they been dealt with?"
Jing Nan said: "Du Heng said that he would make Little Sheep Hot Pot tonight, and he thought it was a fat sheep. Xuan Yu, the day you bring Du Heng back, you should know what you will face next."
Xuan Yu said calmly: "If they dare to come, they will never return." Jing Nan smiled slightly: "Yes, after so many years of silence, it's time to stretch your muscles. Oh, by the way, I told Du Heng." Xuan Yu showed a look of disapproval in his eyes: "It's too early, he doesn't know anything and can't protect himself."
Jing Nan said: "He is still the same, you know? He is not concerned about himself, but whether Xiaoxiao can recover. Xuanyu, after so many years, he still hasn't changed." Xuanyu smiled: "Yes, he hasn't changed."
Du Heng and Xiao Xiao were running in and out of the yard, noisily saying, "Xuan Yu! Doctor Jing! Come and see!"
Jing Nan said nostalgically, "Do you think we can protect him this time?" Xuan Yu walked towards the new house firmly. After a while, Jing Nan heard his answer: "Yes."
