Nanzhu's words sounded a bit arrogant.
Yu Qing tilted his head and said, "We'll wait until we're done. Let's take care of today's business first."
"Don't talk about today, I'll take care of everything for the next few days first." Nanzhu looked confident and jumped into the hole on the mountain wall again.
They dug the entrance of the hole one foot above the ground and built it into a terrace.
The sound of excavation soon came from the cave again. Yu Qing ignored it for the time being and first flew up the rock wall and climbed the mountain, then reached the basin and observed the surrounding terrain.
When he came back from wandering for a while, he happened to see smoke coming from the newly dug hole. He quickly ran to take a look and saw that the smoke was getting bigger and bigger, and it was called a thick smoke.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie both raised their heads outside the cave and looked at the smoking cave entrance.
Yu Qing didn't need to guess to know that it was Nanzhu who had done something bad. He walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Nanzhu was so rested that he chuckled, "It's okay, you'll know later."
Seeing that he was still trying to pass things off, Yu Qing had no choice but to wait patiently, but the answer didn't come, and instead Xu Juening came.
Xu Juening also came over and asked, "What are you doing? I can see smoke coming from you on the top of the mountain."
Nanzhu answered: "It's a little damp in the cave. Let's get some firewood in and burn the moisture."
Xu Juening was speechless.
When the thick smoke passed and the fire in the cave was completely extinguished, Nanzhu ran in to clean it again. Xu Juening even ran in to take a look and found that the cave was smoked black, and Nanzhu was scraping the black on the wall.
Not seeing anything interesting, Xu Juening chatted for a few words and left.
In the evening, Nanzhu stood at the entrance of the cave and said hello. Yu Qing and Mu Aotie entered the cave and found another small hole at the end of the cave. There were probably hundreds of peaches piled inside.
"Hurry up and eat. Everyone takes turns eating and watching. I'm full. I'll keep an eye on you." Nanzhu smiled and turned around to the entrance of the cave.
Yu Qing and Mu Aotie looked at each other speechlessly, probably understanding what was going on.
I didn't care about the other things, they just came here for the fairy peaches, so there was nothing to be polite about. The two of them pulled the peaches out of the hole and gnawed them first.
I couldn't eat much, so I was full after eating two first.
Yu Qing turned around and called Nanzhu to come in. Nanzhu immediately moved the stone he had prepared to use as an indoor table back to the small hole to block it.
"Okay, don't use such complicated methods in the future. It not only recruits people, but also makes you tired. Old Seven, don't use your method of practicing sword practice and cutting down trees. Don't stay for a year and destroy the peach branches here. They're all chopped down. Well, from now on, we'll pick peaches when it's dark at night. One person will pick the peaches, and the other two will let the air out around them. Just take turns. Don't catch a tree. If you remember this, there won't be much of a problem."
Yu Qing explained it and gave him a simple and direct method. He handed the peach core in his hand to the big head on his shoulder. He knew that this guy was delicious and hard, so he wanted to give it a try.
If I have the chance, I really want to try more and see if I can still try out Datou and whether he can eat something else. The lack of variety of food is indeed a problem. I was imprisoned some time ago and it showed when I was starving there. .
Eating spiritual rice and bones was also discovered by accident at the beginning. This is definitely not what Datou was born to eat.
How should I put it? After knowing that Da Tou had moved reinforcements and rescued them, he was more concerned about Da Tou's basic life.
Click, the big head tried to take a bite, then "cryed" and spit out some sparks, which was regarded as vomiting, indicating that he did not want to eat.
"Hey, please don't spit fire. There's only half a piece of clothing left."
The clothes on his shoulders were smoking. Yu Qing sighed and stretched out his hand to swat it out, leaving a few burnt-through black spots.
He used his kung fu to squeeze the peach core again, and the hard peach core cracked, peeling out the peach kernel inside, then threw it into his mouth and chewed it.
Big head tilted his head and looked at him.
"It tastes pretty good. Hey, the spiritual energy in this peach kernel is stronger."
Yu Qing let out an unexpected sound, then crushed a peach core, peeled out the peach kernels and placed them on the stone table. He then grabbed the big head on his shoulder and placed it next to the peach kernels.
Datou took a bite, cried again, spit out the sparkling seeds, but still refused to eat.
Yu Qing picked it up and ate it himself, then found a handful of spiritual rice and put it on the stone table. Only then did Datou begin to enjoy it.
Nanzhu and Mu Aotie learned to peel the peach kernels and tasted them, and found that they were indeed not bad...
A few days later, in the early morning, Yu Qing and Nan Zhu were sitting on the terrace drinking tea. In fact, it was either tea or boiled water.
After knowing that drinking the water from Datoubao can ward off evil spirits, the three brothers and sisters drank it once a day. After all, they lived in this ghost place where evil spirits were everywhere.
Under the morning sun, the peach orchard in front of you is lush and lush, with pink peaches dotted among it, which is pleasing to the eye and has the fragrance of peach.
Inside the cave, there was a sudden muffled sound of joints. Yu Qing looked back, stood up, and walked into the cave.
Mu Aotie, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating in the cave, exhaled a long breath, with uncontrollable joy on his face, and then slowly stood up.
Yu Qing looked at him and asked, "A breakthrough?"
Mu Aotie slowly clenched his fists, looked at them left and right, and said hummingly, "Yes, I finally made a breakthrough."
"Good thing." Yu Qing chuckled and slowly drank the water from the stone cup. He felt extremely happy, even happier than his own breakthrough.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that all the risks were worth it.
Every time before when he was in danger of his life, he would wonder if it was wrong to take his two senior brothers out for adventure.
Now that he has seen the tangible results, he feels that he, the leader, has done nothing wrong and has finally rapidly improved the cultivation level of the entire sect.
Lele alone is not as good as Lele of everyone. He turned around and shouted: "Lao Qi, Lao Jiu has broken through. Lao Qi..."
The two people in the cave found Nanzhu sitting on the terrace outside in a daze. They couldn't help but look at each other, and then walked over together.
When I got to Nanzhu, I found that Nanzhu was looking at a peach tree on the side of the cave entrance in a daze.
The smaller peach tree is only about two feet high. The crown of the tree just exceeds the opening of the cave here. It grows close to the foot of the mountain. It is a little misshapen and not vigorous. According to the growth of all the peach trees in the peach garden, it can be seen that these peaches should have taken root and sprouted on their own after they fell to the ground.
The two of them didn't see anything worthy of being stunned in this peach tree. Yu Qing pushed Nan Zhu's shoulders down, "What's wrong?"
Nanzhu slowly stood up and whispered, "Look carefully at the differences between the leaves of this peach tree and other peach trees."
Yu Qing and Mu Aotie immediately stared and observed carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Yu Qing asked Mu Aotie beside him, "Do you see any difference?"
Mu Aotie shook his head.
Nanzhu spoke again, "Look at the leaves that are illuminated by the sun, and compare them with the leaves of other trees that are illuminated by the sunlight."
After receiving this reminder, the two took a closer look and quickly discovered the difference.
When the leaves of other peach trees are exposed to sunlight, the meridians inside the leaves are obviously black. This is normal because they have been infected by evil spirits.
What is abnormal is the deformed peach tree next to the cave. Under the sunlight, the meridians in the leaves are obviously similar to the leaves of outside plants, and it seems that they have not been infected by evil spirits.
Yu Qing walked to the hole and reached for a branch. It took some effort to twist the tough branch and picked a peach together. He turned back and picked a leaf and tore it open to see the fracture. He found that inside As expected, there were no signs of evil contamination.
He directly pinched the fairy peach open again. The juice was dripping. The pulp inside was tender, moist, and crystal clear. The meridians in the pulp were clean, and there was no sign of being infected by evil spirits. There was a strong smell. The peach fragrance is tangy.
I looked at the cross section of the twisted peach branch again, and found no signs of being infected by evil spirits.
The three of them looked at each other in confusion. Yu Qing then threw away the Xiantao he had squeezed in his hand, or rather smashed it to the ground, leaving nothing behind.
There is nothing you can do, what if someone sees it?
Anyone can blatantly pick it up and play with it, but they can't leave it behind.
After staring at the peach tree and thinking for a while, Yu Qing said to himself: "How could this happen? Why is this peach tree not affected by evil spirits? Is there some treasure buried under this tree?"
Nanzhu said: "I think so too. There should be something under the tree to restrain evil spirits. It's just hard to dig out and easily discovered by others."
Mu Aotie suddenly said, "I think too much, there is no treasure under the tree."
Yu Qing and Nan Zhu both looked at him. Nan Zhu was surprised, "Why do you see him?"
Mu Aotie said calmly: "In the past few days, I have been pouring the first batch of water here, and it happened to be poured under the tree."
They have a habit of boiling water with big heads. They think the big heads are dirty and crawl around and fly around, so they boil water first, rinse it, and wash it. No one drinks the water, so it is thrown away. .
"..."
Lao Qi and Lao Fifteen were both speechless because they instantly understood what Lao Jiu meant.
Nanzhu murmured in a low voice, "Is it so strong enough? If a person drinks it, it can ward off evil spirits. Can the root of the tree absorb it and ward off evil spirits for the whole tree?"
Mu Aotie reminded, "It should be just enough to restrain the evil spirit. You have also seen how Yun Xi's evil body collapsed."
Yu and Nan immediately imagined the scene of the radiation spread and collapse of Yunxi's evil body. They had to admit that Datou was the real nemesis of the evil body, and even Yunxi was afraid of it.
Nanzhu whispered again: "I want to confirm whether it is really simple. Just find another tree and try it."
Yu Qing crossed his arms in front of his chest, touched his mustache, squinted his eyes and muttered, "If it's really possible... that is, as long as the peach trees are planted, we can even if we can't enter Xiaoyunjian in the future. Grow fairy peaches outside and sell them..."
Nanzhu shook his head, "How to do this? Let's not talk about whether they will give it to us or not. This peach tree is more than ten feet tall, and the branches are about the same width. It would be difficult for just a few of us to get one out."
Yu Qing: "Aren't there still small ones? If we can't get the big ones out, we can get more small ones out... I just don't know how many years it takes for these fairy peaches to ripen."
Seeing the virtue in this guy's eyes, Nan Zhu and Mu Aoti looked at each other speechless. They both knew that Lao Fifteen's idea was unrealistic. Don't talk about getting to know each other in a few years. First of all, people may not give it to you, even if you get him out. , transportation on the way, and finding a place to plant are all problems. Who knows how to plant this stuff?
If it really grows fairy peaches, it will be troublesome, and it may not end up in your stomach.
There is a saying that goes like this: A common man is not guilty of having a jade in his possession.
Yu Qing suddenly exclaimed again, "No, we are a bit short-sighted. Even if the evil spirit of the peach tree cannot be resolved, we can eat it ourselves after planting it."
Nan and Mu finally figured out that Lao Fifteen might have had the crooked idea of getting the peach tree out. He was only thinking about peaches before, but now he actually wants to uproot the tree.
