"No, no, this money is too much, 100 yuan is fine, I don't need that much!"
After eating, Ye Tian took out five hundred yuan and handed it to Lao Qi, which frightened him to wave his hand again and again, the chicken is raised by himself, and the vegetables are carried on the mountain, where do you need so much five hundred yuan?
The people in the mountains are simple, although there is a sign of farmhouse, but Lao Qi always can't hold his face, often he follows as much as the diners give, not to mention Ye Tian and the two of them eat, even more than ten people dined, and they never gave 500 yuan.
"Lao Qi, take the ...... for you."
Ye Tian smiled and stuffed the money into Lao Qi's pocket, and said: "When we go back to the mountain, let's have a few more drinks, I see your dried lion's mane mushroom, this thing tastes good in soup."
"Okay, when you come back, I will definitely make soup for you to try!"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Lao Qi didn't give in anymore, but he found a Sprite bottle and poured a full bottle of wine, insisting that Ye Tian take it, saying that it was used to keep out the cold on the road.
After bidding farewell to Lao Qi and his wife, Ye Tian and Zhou Xiaotian walked down the slope, which was only the outskirts of Shennongjia, and the mountain people living here had stepped on a road for thousands of years.
Although Ye Tian lost all his true qi, his physical strength was still far from comparable, and Zhou Xiaotian didn't need, his whole body was full of true qi, and his walking speed was very fast.
More than an hour later, the two of them had already climbed over a mountain peak, and when they arrived here, the branches and leaves of the forest became denser and denser, and some shadows such as macaques, money leopards, and wild boars were often seen.
Coming to this most primitive forest, Maotou also became excited, and there was no need to avoid people's eyes here, Maotou simply rushed into the woods, even Ye Tian didn't know what it was doing.
However, Ye Tian knew that as long as he didn't meet those senior masters, the animals in this mountain alone would not hurt Maotou, and this guy had an extremely sensitive sense of smell, so he didn't have to be afraid of getting lost.
"Master, don't you take those medicinal materials?"
Along the way, he saw a lot of herbs growing in the grass, but Ye Tian didn't even bend his waist once, which made him feel strange.
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "Those years are not enough, the medicinal properties are insufficient, it is a pity to pick them, let's take a little longer."
In Shennongjia, there are not a few people who rely on the mountain to eat the mountain.
Zhou Xiaotian recognized these medicinal materials, and those medicine farmers naturally knew them, the reason why he didn't pick them was that he didn't want to dry up the marsh and fish, and Ye Tian wouldn't do this kind of thing.
Of course, if he could really encounter the nectar of the herbs and the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Ye Tian would also go to pick them.
"Master, are you here for anything else?"
Zhou Xiaotian was not stupid, he just kept it in his heart, but at this time there were only two of his masters and apprentices, and he finally couldn't help but ask.
Ye Tian thought for a moment and said: "The main thing is to find medicine, but I heard that there are experts in Shennongjia, and they also want to try their luck."
Since Ye Tian didn't tell a few senior brothers about the divine consciousness on the cover of "Kaiyuan Daozang", he naturally wouldn't tell Zhou Xiaotian, so he immediately found a reason to prevaricate.
"Master, don't listen to Lao Qi's nonsense." Zhou Xiaotian curled his lips and said: "How can there be any gods in this world? If there really is, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
In today's prosperous technology, there is no market for the theory of gods and ghosts, especially people like Zhou Xiaotian who grew up watching TV and playing game consoles.
"There are definitely no immortals."
Ye Tian nodded and said, "But the magical powers that some people can show, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, they are gods, right?"
Some words Ye Tian said now, Zhou Xiaotian couldn't understand it, he was too lazy to say more, but his feet accelerated a little more.
Ye Tian was really afraid of being told by Lao Qi that if there was snow in this mountain, he would have a sad life without true energy to protect his body.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun had already set from the top of the mountain, and the surrounding scenery suddenly became dark, and the mountains became more and more silent.
After four or five hours of trekking, Master Ye Tian and his apprentice climbed over two peaks, the mountain road here was completely covered by trees, except for the medicine farmers in the mountains, obviously no tourists set foot here.
"Xiaotian, let's stay here at night!"
Climbing to the middle of the third mountain, Ye Tian stopped at a gentle slope, and there was a stream flowing down from the top of the mountain next to the gentle slope, which was suitable for camping and boiling water.
Taking out a machete from Zhou Xiaotian's backpack, Ye Tian cleaned up some dry grass and vines in the open space.
"Could it be that people who live in the mountains to practice Taoism are afraid that forest fires will burn trees and cause spiritual energy to be lost?"
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly appeared in Ye Tian's heart: "That's right, it must be so, these mountain plants may be the root of the generation of aura."
Seeing Ye Tian gathering the dry grass together, Zhou Xiaotian put down the hiking bag on his back and said with a smile: "Master, aren't you afraid of burning fire to attract immortals?"
"I'm here to seek immortality, I'm afraid they won't come out."
Ye Tian smiled half-truthfully and said: "Okay, take out the pot, boil some hot water, I'll wash these lion's mane mushrooms, let's drink some hot soup at night."
Along the way, although Ye Tian didn't pick any medicinal materials, he picked a lot of lion's mane mushrooms growing in some rotten wood.
This thing has extremely high nutritional value, and is known as the four famous dishes along with shark fin, bear's paw, and bird's nest.
Zhou Xiaotian's hiking bag not only contained tents and pots and bowls, but also a small gas cylinder and stove, so there was no need to use those dead leaves.
After turning on the gas, Zhou Xiaotian asked with some concern: "Master, where is Maotou, nothing will happen to it, right?"
"Chirp!"
Before Zhou Xiaotian finished speaking, Maotou's scream sounded, a white shadow flashed, and its body rushed down from the tree above the head of the two days.
It's just that Maotou's body seems to have changed, it used to be no longer more than a meter long, but now behind its body, it has a long tail.
"Stinky boy, do you dare to go hunting?"
Even Ye Tian was startled at first, and when he looked closely, he found that Maotou was biting a python with the thickness of an arm in its mouth, and the strangest thing was that this python was white all over, but it was somewhat similar to its fur.
"Chirp!"
Maotou bit the neck of the python, and his body jumped onto Ye Tian's shoulder, and he screamed in desperation, the white python with a length of four or five meters and a weight of at least more than 100 pounds was as light as nothing in its mouth.
"Okay, let's burn a lion's mane mushroom snake soup today, you can't blind this snake in vain."
Ye Tian smiled and took the python out of Maotou's mouth, seven inches away from the python's bite, the bloody flesh and blood from the hairy head had already been blurred, and the snake was also lifeless.
"Master, can this white snake be eaten?" Zhou Xiaotian didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this snake looked snow-white, which was different from what he usually saw.
"If the hair can be eaten, we can eat it, what are we afraid of!"
Ye Tian shook his head, turned his hand to take out Wu Xiao, and went to the creek to disembowel the python, but he found that the snake's gallbladder was missing, presumably it had been swallowed by Maotou early.
Peeled off the snake skin, and the snow-white snake meat was divided into sections and thrown into the pot, but the pot was too small to fit even one-tenth of the snake meat.
As the water boiled, the aroma of snake meat mixed with lion's mane mushrooms suddenly filled the tip of the nose.
"Tuck...... Chirp!"
Maotou shook his nose and quickly jumped to the side of the pot, his little claws scooped it up in the pot like lightning, and a piece of snake meat weighing several pounds was picked up by it.
"Stinky boy, what do you eat?"
Ye Tian laughed and scolded, picked up a spoon and scooped up a spoonful of soup, put it to his mouth and pursed it, his eyes lit up, but he drank the hot soup that was almost like boiling water in one gulp.
After taking a sip of the soup, Ye Tian's brows relaxed, and he said praised: "Not bad, fresh, really fresh, fresher than what I ate on Maoshan back then!"
Although he lost all his true qi, Ye Tian's more than ten years of cultivation naturally made his organs different from ordinary people, and he didn't care about the scalding at the moment, so he scooped up a piece of snake meat and ate it.
"Master, please leave some for me."
This pot was already small, and Ye Tian and Maotou's speed was extremely fast, and by the time Zhou Xiaotian reacted, one person and one mink had already eaten several pieces of meat.
Eating the more than ten pounds of snake meat almost scrambled, Ye Tian only felt comfortable all over, the fatigue of traveling all day was gone, and there seemed to be a trace of heat flowing in his body.
"Alas, still not." Ye Tian tried to use the primordial spirit to guide Ye Tian to run in his body, but the heat dissipated in his body.
"Xiao Tian, this flesh contains spiritual energy, hurry up and meditate!"
When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhou Xiaotian's face flushed at this time, obviously a reaction of excess yang energy, but it was the hair that ate the most, and there was no reaction at all.
"Although Changbai Mountain has a vast area, the spiritual energy in the mountain is far inferior to here."
An ordinary white snake meat can contain spiritual energy, which shows that the spiritual energy in this Shennongjia is abundant, and I am afraid that in today's China, only here can maintain this original style.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaotian was already in meditation, Ye Tian did not set up a tent, but came to the pair of dry grass and branches and lit it with a lighter.
Although it was cold and steep in the mountains, with the cultivation of the two of them, there was actually no need to light a fire for warmth, but after hearing the anecdotes that Lao Qi said, Ye Tian had other thoughts.
