For several days, Taoist Master Hong Jiu would deliver food to Ye Cheng on time.
Every time he just greeted Ye Cheng and left directly.
Until the seventh day.
Taoist Master Hong Jiu did not bring any lunch.
Ye Cheng thought something was delayed.
It should be delivered later.
You can wait until evening.
Ye Cheng was so hungry that he grumbled, but Taoist Master Hong Jiu didn't see any food coming.
In desperation, he could only pull out a few bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest and eat them raw.
The taste is slightly bitter.
If he wasn't very hungry, he would definitely not eat bamboo shoots. This is something only black and white beasts eat.
"Did something happen to Chongyang Temple?"
After Ye Cheng finished eating the bamboo shoots, he sat on the threshold. A few bamboo shoots could barely fill his stomach, so he wouldn't be too hungry.
Moreover, he didn't want to eat anymore.
it's getting dark.
It seems that I will go to bed hungry today.
Ye Cheng sighed in his heart.
If only I could cook.
Although there are no vegetables, there is rice in the bamboo house.
He was so hungry now that he didn't even think about practicing his sword.
I miss my past life so much.
A takeaway can solve the problem of eating.
Forehead?
Suddenly, Ye Cheng heard movement outside and someone was coming.
Could it be that Taoist Master Hong Jiu finally remembered to give him food?
No, these footsteps don't sound like Taoist Master Hong Jiu's.
Master Hong Jiu's footsteps were very light and rhythmic.
The footsteps he heard now were heavier and a little more urgent.
Based on this alone, Ye Cheng concluded that it was not Master Hong Jiu himself.
Ye Cheng moved and quickly rushed into the bamboo house, looking outside through the gap in the window.
It was getting late, so it was foggy outside.
However, Ye Cheng is a white ape and has certain night vision capabilities.
Much stronger than humans.
Soon, he saw a figure coming outside the courtyard.
It seems to be the costume of a young Taoist priest.
He looked a little nervous and tiptoeing around.
There was also a lunch box in his hand.
Ye Cheng had never seen this young Taoist before.
However, it is normal for Ye Cheng to have never seen Chongyang Temple with over a thousand Taoist records.
"Xiao Bai, I've put the food here for you. Come out and get it yourself."
The young Taoist did not enter the yard, took out the food from the lunch box, shouted towards the dark bamboo house, and left without looking back.
It was pitch black and quiet here, and there was a white ape hidden inside. He was not very courageous and didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
The bamboo forest became quiet again.
Not long after, with a slight sound, a white shadow quietly came out of the bamboo house, and then carefully brought in the food that the young Taoist had put down.
The food was average, not as rich as the previous days.
Kind of like leftovers.
If he wasn't really hungry, Ye Cheng wouldn't really want to eat.
After eating, Ye Cheng touched his belly and finally felt better.
He guessed that Taoist Master Hong Jiu had forgotten and didn't remember to bring him food until night. Maybe he couldn't get away, so he sent another Taoist.
"Also, Aunt Yu Zhen has been away for seven days, why haven't you come back yet?"
Ye Cheng pondered in his mind.
Unfortunately, he is just a white ape and cannot communicate with other people.
Although he wanted to go out and see what was going on, he didn't dare.
Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen had told him not to leave here casually before she left.
He is a white ape, and no one is following him. If he walks around casually in the Chongyang Temple, he might be treated as a wild beast that accidentally enters the temple and is punished.
Not everyone knows that Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen adopted a white ape.
For his own safety, he must learn to protect himself.
Especially when Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen is away, you have to be even more cautious.
"Hey, I hope Aunt Yu Zhen can come back soon."
Ye Cheng sighed.
Even if you travel to a strange world, you are still a white ape and still living in the human world. It is really insecure.
...
the next day.
The food was delivered on time.
The person who delivered the meal was not Hong Jiu, but the young Taoist priest from last night.
Although there was a new person, the food was restored to the same level as before, and Ye Cheng didn't pay much attention.
He just hoped that Aunt Yu Zhen would come back soon.
Sometimes, he wanted to ask the young Taoist priest who delivered the food, what was Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen doing out there?
A few more days passed, and he practiced sword practice every day, and had three meals a day on time.
After so many days of trying, he was able to barely influence his inner energy.
Although it is still not possible to truly control the movement of internal energy, this is already a great improvement.
Moreover, he thought of a good way, which was to distract himself from controlling his inner energy while practicing sword practice.
The explosive attack of Chongyang Sword Technique mobilizes internal energy.
Therefore, he believes that practicing swordsmanship and martial arts at the same time should help him master his inner energy faster.
The idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement.
This is equivalent to multitasking.
As a result, he frequently had problems with his sword practice.
He wasn't discouraged either.
As long as you persist, success is only a matter of time.
He was getting more and more worried now.
Because Aunt Yu Zhen still hasn’t come back.
It’s been almost half a month.
According to what Aunt Yu Zhen said when she left, it was only a few days.
But now almost half a month has passed and I still haven’t come back.
A few more days passed like this.
That afternoon, Ye Cheng squatted on the edge of the bamboo forest, staring at the hole under a bamboo tree.
The soil at the entrance of the cave is still fresh.
And the leaves of this bamboo are a little yellow.
Ye Cheng guessed that there must be something hidden in the cave.
As a white ape, his nose is still very sensitive, and he can smell a very faint fishy smell belonging to wild animals.
He is also in a panic now.
While walking in the bamboo forest, I discovered this earth cave.
If there were wild animals inside, he might be able to get an extra meal.
Although the young Taoist would deliver three meals on time, it actually could not satisfy his daily sword practice needs.
In the past, when Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen was here, in addition to the Qingling Pill, she often brought him medicinal meals and meals.
Since Taoist Aunt Yu Zhen left, there has been no such treatment.
Ye Cheng didn't have the right tools around him. It would definitely be a big project to dig out the soil hole.
So, he prepared a rope and planned to make a simpler trap.
As long as there are really wild animals hidden in this soil cave, they can definitely be caught.
In his previous life, he was a typical rural boy. He was a good hand at catching fish in the water and hunting wild animals in the mountains.
Although he was reborn in this world and became a white ape, his craftsmanship was not lost.
Soon, Ye Cheng made a trap.
He also cleaned up the traces.
As long as there is something in the cave, it will definitely not escape.
After that was done, it was time to go back.
He jumped directly into the air, jumped onto a bamboo, pushed hard, and jumped onto another bamboo. He seemed to be transformed into a white elf, flying freely in the bamboo forest as if walking on the ground.
His current speed and agility...have surpassed that of an ordinary ape.
Soon, Ye Cheng quickly returned to the bamboo house with the help of bamboo.
Suddenly, he stopped, his long arms hooked on the bamboo, and he looked into the bamboo house from a distance, and there was an additional figure.
It's Taoist nun Yu Zhen.
She is finally back.
Ye Cheng felt happy, but immediately his pupils shrank because one of Taoist Priest Yu Zhen's arms was empty.
...
