There is a birch forest by the lake, a thatched cottage in the forest, and an old man in front of the cottage. The old man has a white beard and white hair. He is holding a hoe in his hand and building a pergola to look into the distance.
Wu Gen jumped up and rubbed his eyes, feeling a little confused. Although he was in a hurry when he arrived at the lake, he was sure that he had never seen the hut at that time. This house, the old man, and my good friend suddenly appeared in front of me.
Reaching out and gently twisting his thigh, Wu Gen was sure that he was not in a dream.
"Hey, I got it." Yuhao responded loudly, but quietly muttered: "Smelly old man, he knows how to be waited on. After finally coming back, he still needs help cooking."
"Wu Gen, this man is my master, how dare you enter the house with me." Yuhao glanced at Wu Gen provocatively and raised her eyebrows.
Looking at the old man not far away, Wu Gen secretly sighed in his heart. Since he had already appeared, it would be unreasonable not to go. Besides, if the other party just uses some kind of deceitful trick, what do you have to fear? Just have a meal. If he is a hidden master, how can he escape if he doesn't go?
"Then I'm sorry for bothering you today. I don't know how to address my respected master." Wu Gen inquired carefully, so as not to bump into each other when they met.
"His name is Mu Bai. If you're happy, you can call him Mu Shi. If you're unhappy, you can call him Old Man Mu." Yu Hao waved her hand nonchalantly.
Humph, old man Mu, Wu Gen sneered secretly, wanting to harm himself, Yuhao is still a little naive.
As Yu Hao arrived in front of the hut, Wu Gen looked at the old man and did not feel that he had any cultivation level. Mubai was dressed in coarse cloth, with his trouser legs rolled up to his knees. From his knees to his feet, he was covered in soil. He must have just finished farm work in the fields.
Wu Gen walked a few steps and arrived in front of Mu Fei. He bowed to the ground and said, "Master Mu, please be polite, little Wu Gen."
Mu Bai gently held Wu Gen's arm with one hand, "I don't dare to take it seriously. The young man is just a commoner with no position or power. How can he accept such a great gift?"
Common people, hum, Wu Gen sneered in his heart, and his men secretly used some strength to see how good the opponent was.
Mu Bai smiled slightly, brushed his index finger on Wu Gen's arm, and raised it slightly. Wu Gen felt as if his arm had been roasted by fire. It was unbearably hot and he was easily picked up by the other party. He took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
Seeing this, Yu Hao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wu Gen, don't have any other temptations. No matter how hard my master can't fight, it's not a piece of cake to deal with you. By the way, if you can cook, if you can Come with me."
Wu Gen got up from the ground, bowed his hands to the old man, "I'm sorry." Then he took Sha Zhimo to the wing of the hut. There was a small kitchen with pots and pans inside.
Entering the kitchen, there are New Year pictures on the wall that have been there for who knows how many years, and the original colors can no longer be seen. Next to the stove, which was smoked black, there was a large iron pot, and there was a rice cooker in the pot that had been there for an unknown amount of time.
As soon as Yuhao entered the kitchen, she frowned, pointed at the rice cooker in the pot and said, "Smelly old man, isn't there something to eat? Why are you cooking?" She picked up a piece of rice cooker and chewed it. He stood up and handed a piece to Wu Gen.
After gently blowing the dust off the rice cake, Wu Gen stuffed the rice cake into his mouth.
Yuhao was a little unhappy, "It's a pity. The ashes on this rice cake are Baicao Shuang, which can eliminate blood stasis in the body. It's a good thing that you just threw it away. You have a lot of old wounds on your body. It's really bad." You should eat more Baicaoshuang."
Wu Gen didn't care at all, it was just grass ashes, it was so mysterious. After chewing the rice cake for a few times and swallowing it, Wu Gen's expression suddenly changed, and a majestic heat rose from his belly, like a fire dragon roaring between his meridians. For a moment, Wu Gen only felt hot all over his body, as if he was sitting in a stove.
Yu Hao smiled maliciously and said: "This thing is a pure yang thing with extremely strong fire properties. If it is not resolved in time, it may burn people from the inside out. If you want to suppress the fire properties, you can go to the door. Bathing in Luoze Lake will destroy the fire. However, Luoze Lake gets colder as you go down, so you have to act according to your ability."
Wu Gen heard this and ran towards the big lake without saying a word, leaving everything he had on him as he ran. By the time we got to the lake, we were already naked.
Jumping into the water with a splash, Wu Gen felt that the dryness in his body was slightly reduced, but the fire inside was still raging. In desperation, Wu Gen had no choice but to follow Yu Hao's instructions and swim deeper.
Thanks to his experience of thunder tribulation and the initial formation of the human world, he was able to stay underwater for more time.
The lake was quiet, and there was no sound from all around. Occasionally, small swimming fish passed by Wu Gen. After looking at it, they left with disdain.
The rays of sunlight shine through the water into the water, forming colorful light pillars, like huge light doors. The further you go down, the deeper the lake becomes. Deep darkness shrouds the bottom of the lake, like a huge mouth, ready to swallow anyone who dares to disturb its tranquility.
Wu Gen swung his legs quickly like fins and plunged headfirst into the depths of the lake. Sure enough, the further down you go, the colder the surroundings get, and the fire in your body is gradually suppressed.
Floating freely in the water, Wu Gen circulated his mind and resisted the huge pressure everywhere around him. At the same time, the fire energy in the human body is transported away bit by bit, circulating through the limbs and bones.
The fire energy rushed through the veins of the body, and wherever it went, some of the hidden wounds accumulated over the past few days were gradually eliminated, and even the scars on the bones were slowly healed. This feeling, like being brushed by a delicate hand, is indescribably refreshing.
Gradually, the last trace of anger was exhausted. Wu Gen, still unfinished, swung his legs and floated towards the lake.
When he was about to reach the surface of the water, Wu Gen suddenly felt a warning sign in his heart. He tightened his body and kicked hard with his feet. His whole body changed from upward to sideways. Beside him, a huge fish body jumped past, its goose egg-sized scales glowing with a cyan light.
When he turned around, Wu Gen realized that it was a big fish with a length of more than two feet and a ferocious appearance. Its sharp teeth were exposed from its lower jaw, like sharp daggers.
Just when he was about to curse, water rushed to his mouth impatiently. Wu Gen quickly covered his mouth, paddled his feet quickly, and started swimming in the water like a swordfish.
Since the divine movement technique is useful in the air, it is no less useful underwater. However, due to the huge resistance under the water, Wu Gen had difficulty grasping the direction and could only spin around like a headless fly.
The strange fish naturally refused to let go of the prey in front of it, so it turned around and chased after it again, its thick tail fin paddling powerfully in the water, creating strong turbulences.
The force of the turbulence is extremely strong. Because it is in the water, it travels very far. It is extremely painful when it hits the body, like a powerful whirlwind tearing at it.
Unfortunately, two small fish were caught in it, and their bodies were immediately torn apart. Thanks to Wu Gen's strong body and the full force of his Divine Movement Technique, he was able to withstand this weird attack method.
Gradually, Wu Gen adapted to the underwater environment, thinking about how to deal with this big fish while swimming. His human world is not fully formed and cannot support him staying underwater for a long time.
So he stopped and drifted in the water like a dead fish. The strange fish finally waited for the opportunity, opened its big blue mouth, and rushed towards Wu Gen with its sharp teeth like two rows of swords.
When one person and one fish were still two feet away, Wu Gen's body suddenly rose and fell right on top of the strange fish that was rushing towards him. A punch hit the fish's gills, and the strange fish's body suddenly trembled, followed by violent tumbling, just like a fierce horse being reined in for the first time.
Wu Gen grabbed the fish's scales with one hand, and hit the fish's body heavily with the other. After a while, pieces of blood flowed out of the strange fish's mouth. It finally stopped struggling and was dragged by Wu Gen to swim toward the surface.
Hula, Wu Gen's head emerged from the water, and the big fish also floated up, its green-red back flickering in and out of the water. After struggling to drag the fish to the shore, Wu Gen collapsed on the beach exhausted.
Fighting underwater was ten times more strenuous than fighting on land. Hao Gen really felt like he was being hollowed out.
Sha Zhimo ran over aggrievedly, holding Wu Gen's clothes in his hand, looking back behind him as he ran. Wu Gen looked up and saw Yuhao standing not far away, holding a rice cooker in her hand and looking over here with malicious intent.
Wu Gen secretly cursed this stinky bitch who was not ashamed to be married, and quickly put his clothes on. Dragging the big fish with Sha Zhimo, he walked towards the thatched cottage.
When passing by Yu Hao, Sha Zhimo excitedly pointed at the rice cake in his hand and complained angrily to Wu Gen. Only then did Wu Gen see that Sha Zhimo's hands were swollen and covered with black and blue, as if they had been slapped by something.
"Don't do my business, because he wanted to eat the rice cakes secretly and was beaten by the master." Yuhao quickly cleared up her responsibility.
Looking at the pitiful Sha Zhimo, Wu Gen turned his head and said, "I'll treat the carpenter to some fish."
Back in the kitchen, Wu Gen took out the pot and prepared to clean it. He raised his hand, but the pot didn't move at all. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and fell into the pot with a plop.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this pot is made of black iron and weighs nine hundred kilograms." Yuhao reminded her in a belated manner.
Wu Gen crawled out of the pot and glared at Yu Hao fiercely, "It's not your share to eat fish if you're stupid."
"I can help light the fire." Yuhao thought for a while and said, blinking her eyes.
"Humph." Wu Gen responded angrily, looking thoughtfully at the kitchen knife on the cupboard shelf.
"That's also made of black iron." Yuhao learned the lesson this time and reminded her quickly.
Holding the simple kitchen knife in his hand, Wu Gen weighed it. Yes, it weighed more than a hundred kilograms. No wonder Yuhao doesn't want to cook. After eating this meal, it's no less than a fight with someone.
After cutting open the huge fish and taking out the tender meat near the gills, Wu Gen asked Sha Zhimo to go out to find some firewood and took the opportunity to secretly give him a piece of rice cake. Yuhao stood at the door of the kitchen whistling, looking up at the roof seriously.
After a while, Sha Zhimo's strange cry came from the lake. When he came back, he was all wet, with a thick-waisted strange fish under each arm.
