The sky is clear, the wind is gentle, and there are no clouds in the sky...it's strange.
The sky was so gray that it was difficult to see clearly, and the sun was blocked. It was not clouds, but layers of volcanic ash.
The Changbai Mountain Pass in the distance was still filled with thin black smoke. The volcanic ash flew into the sky and fell back to the ground. The wind blew by, and the air was no longer as cool as before, and the nose was filled with the smell of burning sulfur.
Lu Mingfei sniffed and was somewhat thankful that he had put on a mask when he went out. He was about to turn around and hand one to Gu Bei, but found that Gu Bei seemed to be fine and even took a deep breath with enjoyment.
Lu Mingfei was shocked for a moment: "Boss, you are still awesome."
Gu Bei didn't take it seriously.
The core skill of the Liuku Immortal Thief is to convert all things in the world into Qi through various absorption parts of the body, and then absorb them all into oneself. If one practices to a certain level, he will even engage in cannibalism.
In the original work of "Under One Person", Ruan Feng can even control the sweat discharged from his pores to absorb the surrounding air and convert it into Qi.
Even people can eat it and absorb it, and even air can be transformed. This technique sounds mysterious and evil, and it is a bit confusing from a metaphysical point of view, but this strange skill unexpectedly meets scientific standards.
The essence of everything in this world is the same.
It is not the yin and yang, nothingness and other mysterious things explained in the Tao, but a more practical, material existence.
All matter in the world is composed of various elementary particles.
In this case, whether it is the human body, the air, or the cultivated Qi, since they are physical entities, they are all composed of basic particles.
The effect of Liuku Immortal Thief is to transform and unify all the basic particles in the world, and then use these basic particles to rearrange them to form Qi.
Of course, the actual operation does not involve the microscopic level. If he can really control elementary particles, then Gu Bei is not far away from becoming a god. What is explained here is only the theoretical principle.
In order to increase the proficiency of the Liuku Immortal Thief, and since he could not eat all day long, Gu Bei set the Liuku Immortal Thief to automatically turn on in his daily life.

In this way, the air can be directly absorbed, constantly increasing the usage rate and proficiency of the Liuku Immortal Thief.
Although the increase in this method is very low, it is expected to only increase by 0.01 every month, but Gu Bei can't just show off with high-calorie food every day, can he?
It is even more impossible to force the surrounding hybrids and dragon kings to draw blood and refine them in order to quickly increase their proficiency.
In this case, the proficiency has indeed taken off, and the brothers around Gu Bei may have their blood drawn to death.
Therefore, the method of refining air is a bit slower, but the advantage is that the water flows long and long and will not dry up so quickly.
But after arriving in Antu County, Gu Bei discovered Hua Dian.
Due to the constant activity of Changbai Mountain, the air in nearby areas is filled with volcanic ash, leaving no gaps.
As soon as Gu Beiliuku Immortal Thief was opened, the volcanic ash and air penetrated into the body and were refined.
Since volcanic ash air has more components than pure air and is more diverse, its effect on increasing energy and proficiency is much better than pure air.
It almost went from 0.01 a month to 0.01 in half a month.
The effect is directly doubled, right?
If Gu Bei hadn't paid attention to his appearance, he would have stripped naked at this time, letting all the pores on his body open to absorb the air nearby.
For no other reason than to purify the environment and benefit the people.
By the way, if volcanic ash is so effective, will the famous haze in Beijing be more effective?
Thinking of this, Gu Bei suddenly regretted not following Chu Zihang to the capital.
Those were his beloved relatives and friends, brothers and sisters. Why didn't he go see him off?
At this time in the capital, Chu Zihang, who had just walked out of the dormitory and was about to go to class, said: "Sneeze!"
A white and tender little hand handed over a packet of Xinxiangyin: "Senior brother, it's autumn, so put on more clothes. Don't catch a cold."
Chu Zihang took the tissue, took out one and wiped his nose: "Thank you Xia Mi."
"You're welcome. In return, treat me to a delicious meal after school!"
The girl smiled strangely.
Chu Zihang also laughed. Probably Gu Bei and Chu Zihang had never seen this guy laugh in the years they had been together.
"good."
"Senior brother, can hybrids also catch colds?"
"Probably not."
"Then why did you sneeze just now?"
"Sneezing is a protective behavior that the body makes autonomously after being stimulated by various external environments such as dust, odor, strong light, and cold air."
"Senior brother, you are so boring. I am asking you why you sneeze!"
Chu Zihang touched his nose: "...Maybe someone missed me?"
Speaking of which, I’m not at home and I don’t know if my mother has taken good care of herself. Let’s take some time to make a video call tonight.
And what Gu Bei told him to do...
Chu Zihang looked at Xia Mi jumping up and down beside him, a little unsure of his decision.
Across thousands of mountains and rivers, Gu Bei certainly didn't know that his good senior brother was suffering from the war between heaven and man in his heart.
But even if Gu Bei knew about it, he wouldn't say anything. Chu Zihang is a rational and emotional person who is balanced. There are many factors in making choices, but Gu Bei will not interfere with him.
Just like what Gu Bei said to Eriki, everyone is their own master, and it only makes sense to choose this kind of thing yourself.
Therefore, Gu Bei rarely interferes with other people's choices. Compared with that, he cares more about the fat beef rolls that he just cooked in front of him.
"Zhuo, why are my beef balls gone?!"
"Boss, did you eat it secretly?!"
"Gan, Lu Mingfei, put down that beef!"
"Slightly, slightly, suck--"
The soup is divided into two colors, the red one is brighter and warmer than flames, and the white one is more moist and soft than jade.
This is hot pot·Yuanyang.
Although Gu Bei didn't think there was anything wrong, the environment outside was indeed not good. Affected by the large amount of volcanic ash, the mobile vendors simply closed their doors. Only stores like this with a front door could still maintain operation.
This is not over yet. There are not only volcanic activities nearby, but also frequent light earthquakes. Although they did not collapse the houses, they also damaged many buildings.
Many store owners saw that the situation was not good and simply closed their doors and ran away.
It was a good idea to close the door and run away. After all, Antu County was still some distance from Changbai Mountain, so the impact was not great, at least there were no casualties.
Erdaobaihe Town at the foot of Changbai Mountain has been turned into ruins after experiencing several earthquakes. Although people with common knowledge began to evacuate the people early, it is inevitable that some die-hards will not listen to the advice, and there are even Conspiracy theories were rampant, saying that MioTong staff were trying to trick them into taking over their houses.
Because of the above reasons, there have been several casualties in Erdaobaihe Town.
When Gu Bei got this report, he couldn't understand. How could there be such a brainless person in the world?
You deserve to die!
Although he thought so in his heart, Gu Bei followed the rules and issued a condolence payment in his name as a pension.
Under such circumstances, it is not easy to find food in Antu County.
Gu Bei and Lu Mingfei turned around three streets and searched for a long time before they found such a hot pot restaurant.
There is a strong aroma floating in the hot pot restaurant, the mellow aroma of chili oil, the strong aroma of sauce, the fragrance of coriander, the freshness of the base, all kinds of aromas are mixed together and penetrate into people's noses.
The two of them made a quick decision and that was it.
It took two full hours to eat and drink. The first half of the hour was spent by Lu Mingfei and Gu Bei fighting over each other to eat, and the remaining hour and a half was spent by Lu Mingfei watching Gu Bei eat.
When the battle finally ended, Gu Bei clapped his hands: "Boss, pay the bill."
The waiters in the store have been gone long ago, and now the operation of the store depends entirely on the boss and his family.
Fortunately, the recipe for this soup base is the owner's own, otherwise even the chef would have left and the store would not be able to open.
The boss came over and did the calculations. He was laughing while doing the calculations, and his big mouth couldn't be closed at all.
No wonder he was so happy. Gu Bei used to eat at the buffet in order to save money. This shows how terrible the exercise method can be in increasing food intake.
What's more, now that Gu Bei has mastered the Immortal Thief of Liuku, this trip directly solved more than half of the ingredients in this hot pot restaurant.
At this stage when business is not going well, Gu Bei is simply the God of Wealth to the boss.
However, Gu Bei didn't feel bad, and all expenses incurred during the business trip would be reimbursed.
Anyway, it’s just one sentence: I don’t have any money, so I can send the bill to anywhere.
Those with deep pockets can get anywhere.
"Brother, there are more than eight thousand in total. I'll give you a zero and it'll be eight thousand."
It seemed that Gu Bei had indeed eaten a lot. The Northeastern boss opened his mouth and called him brother and sister, so he just offered Gu Bei some incense and bowed.
Gu Bei nodded: "Boss, is the store busy now?"
The arrogant-looking boss looked back at the crowded store and said cheerfully, "I'm not busy. Now that things are going well, there aren't many people around."
“Do you want cash or card?”
Gu Bei smiled: "The person who sent the money is on his way here. If the boss is not busy, please sit down and chat with us two."
Lu Mingfei didn't know why and sat silently.
The boss looked at Lu Mingfei, who had thin arms and legs, and then at Gu Bei, who didn't have much flesh on his body, and compared his figure, which was 1.8 meters, 220 pounds.
The two of them look like two little chickens. Each of them can hit ten, so they probably can't escape the order. Just chat with him. There are no guests anyway, so it's just idle time.
The boss, who had made up his mind, immediately felt more relieved and found a seat near the door to sit down.
Gu Bei naturally knew what his boss was thinking, so he didn't reveal it. He just chatted and waited for the so-called money giver.
"Boss, let's not just talk. Why don't we open a bottle on time?"
The boss looked suspicious: "Then the cost..."
Gu Bei waved his hand: "Charge it to my account and settle it later."
(I’m not paying anyway.)
No man can resist the temptation of "the whole point", let alone someone else's money. The boss will soon be swayed.
"Then... what's the point?"
"all!"
"all!"
Lu Mingfei just watched helplessly as the two people decided on the matter.
This whole thing is not as simple as "opening a bottle".
Why don't you drink some and eat some?
Are there enough peanuts?
How about some hard food?
The boss and Gu Bei smashed the bar twice and felt that it was tasteless. He went out and ordered his wife to serve the food, then came back and sat on the chair, looking at Gu Bei like a great man.
"This food money..."
"Count it on me."
The copper stove burned again, and the warm air filled the entire room.
The boss looked at Gu Bei who had eaten 8,000 ingredients and opened his belly again. He suddenly felt that there was a chance of getting rich today, and he felt much more enlightened even after drinking.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Gu Beixia's cheeks were flying and her eyes were misty: "Boss, let me ask you something."
The boss's face didn't look right either. He was obviously a bit conceited: "What's the matter, brother, ask me, mother-in-law or mother-in-law?"
Gu Bei toasted the boss and muttered words that he couldn't hear clearly: "Brother, I'm just curious. All the shops in this city should run away, and the ones that should be closed should be closed. No one dares to do business anymore, brother. Why don’t you run?”
Hearing this, the boss smiled bitterly and said: "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to run away, it's that I can't run at all!"
Gu Bei opened his eyes, confused as if he couldn't understand: "Brother, why did you say this?"
"well!"
The boss sighed, picked up a few quick dishes to go with the wine, and said helplessly: "This is a matter of life and death, who doesn't want to live? But my old man refused to leave even if he tried hard, and he said that fallen leaves will return to their roots, and they will die here." here."
"The old man wants to stay, but he comes to drive me away every day. How can I leave?"
"Then if the old man doesn't leave, if I leave, will I still be considered a person?"
The more he talked, the more depressed he became, so the boss took a swig of the strong drink and filled his throat with sadness.
Gu Bei narrowed his eyes and mentally praised his boss's filial piety. His expression remained unchanged: "Then you have to go. There is always a way to survive. Wouldn't it mean nothing if you die here?"
The boss shook his head: "If the old man doesn't want to leave, then he won't leave, and he won't necessarily die."
Gu Bei was surprised: "Brother, I cursed you. Aren't you talking nonsense? The volcano erupted, shaking the mountains, and the sky was filled with fire and meteors. Places further away may not be well. You are so far away." So close, how could you possibly survive?”
Hearing this, the boss chuckled, his 220 kilograms of fat trembled, and an even more wretched smile appeared on his slightly wretched face: "Little brother, it's not that my brother is tricking you, and you don't think about it carefully. Antu County is such a big city, and I’m not the only one who hasn’t left. Is it possible that everyone doesn’t want to live anymore? Then of course there are ways to survive.”
"Oh?" Gu Bei showed an interested expression, "What can I do? Is there any other air-raid shelters around here?"
The boss shook his head mysteriously: "No matter how big the air-raid shelter is, can it accommodate the entire population of Antu County? Surely we have other ways?"
After a while, the boss didn't explain, he just looked at Gu Bei with a smile.
Gu Bei stood up and picked up the wine glass: "Brother, please teach me."
The boss pretended to clink glasses with Gu Bei, drank the glass of wine and slowly said, "Of course it's because..."
Before he finished speaking, the boss's body twitched and he collapsed on the table, losing consciousness.
The drunken look on Gu Bei's face disappeared in an instant. Looking at the two hundred and twenty pounds of fat lying on the table, he took out the copper coins that had been sacrificed for a long time and made a prediction.
The upper ridge is separated from the lower ridge, and the fire and water have not been restored.
Although it is "prosperous", the six lines are not in the correct position, and the outcome of the matter is still unclear.
Gu Bei swept the copper coins into his sleeve and stared at the flames under the copper pot and the boiling water in the copper pot.
The upper ridge is separated from the lower ridge, and the fire and water have not been restored.
interesting.
Sitting aside, Lu Mingfei was already full but became hungry again as he watched the two eating, so he started to show off his food again: When did the boss become a magician?
