With no time to exchange greetings, Uwei ran out quickly and dragged Wei Shiqi into the tent to drink tea. .
It is the custom of the Tie'e people that when guests arrive, they are first served milk tea, drink milk tea, and then drink milk wine and eat hand-caught mutton. The iron-fronted woman couldn't speak Chinese. She was smiling and gesticulating, and she diligently served milk tea, accompanied by milk rind and cheese. The milk was fragrant and had a unique flavor.
She took care of her daughter and greeted the guests, and went to help the man slaughter the sheep outside the tent.
Xie Jinglan has lived in the grassland for many years, and it is easy to kill a sheep with one hand. He kills a sheep "gently" like an authentic iron-fronted man, without bleeding or making a sound. To put it bluntly, it's simple. Open a small opening in the sheep's chest, reach down to the spine, and cut off a large blood vessel. All the sheep's blood will flow into the chest cavity. No blood is seen, no mourning is heard, a life is lost.
But skinning and disemboweling, colon cleansing and blood filling required a strong-faced woman to help. Although Xie Jinglan was strong, it was not convenient with one arm.
After slaughtering the sheep and cooking the mutton, it was a woman's job. Xie Jinglan got into the tent and found an excuse to send his daughter out. He drank a cup of milk tea with Wei Shiqi and was silent for a long time. Then he talked about how he came to the Tie'e grassland. the whole story.
It was an unbearable experience, and the memories revealed the scars, which were painful and frightening.
When the Taiyi Sect suffered a disaster, he happened to be on his way back to his sect. The setting sun was like a drunken sky, Lian Tao City was in sight, and the glow was in full swing. In an instant, time stood still, prosperity turned into a dream, and the power that destroyed the heaven and earth overturned Lian Tao Mountain. The emotions of mortals were frozen in that moment forever. The aftermath passed by him, and his right hand was gently and skillfully taken away. arm.
Xie Jinglan stood frozen on the spot, blood gushing out like a fountain, a bit of soul power raging in his body, messing up the meridians and acupoints, destroying the foundation of Taoism.
When the dust settled, only ruins were left in Liantao Mountain. Xie Jinglan did not give up, dragged his disabled body, picked up branches and walked around. He could not find any survivors, so he had to leave in disappointment. Without his sect, he was like an abandoned little beast, frightened and restless. He thought over and over again and remembered that Senior Brother Niu from Tianfeng Palace and Senior Sister Hu from Yulu Palace were protecting Emperor Zhao in the capital, so he decided to go north to join them.
Xie Jinglan walked for several months from Liantao Mountain to the capital, a mere eight hundred miles. His body was deteriorating day by day. Seeing the capital in sight, he fainted on the roadside.
Fainting without even a dream was the same as death. He didn't know how long he had slept. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a ship heading south. The smell of the sea breeze assaulted his nostrils. All the past events seemed like a dream.
The person who rescued him was Chen Dong, a wealthy merchant in the jewelry business in the capital.
As early as a few months ago, Chen Dong, on the grounds that he was too old and ill to return to his hometown to take care of himself, sold all the shops, mansions, and servants in the capital at a discount, packed his luggage, and hired three large ships to go south. He happened to meet Xie Jinglan on the way. He rolled down the roadside and was unconscious. As luck would have it, Chen Dong happened to see the word "Ling" embroidered on the corner of his clothes, and knew that he was a disciple of Taiyi Sect's Lingxiao Hall, so he rescued him and asked the doctor to take good care of him. The Taiyi Sect has been wiped out, and the two Niu and Hu who stayed in the capital are as panic-stricken as lost dogs. Sooner or later, someone will add insult to injury and deal with them. However, Chen Dong is willing to form a good relationship with Xie Jinglan. He has some questions, crucial questions, about I would like to ask this young man how to treat his declining old body.
Xie Jinglan slept for half a month until the humid sea breeze woke him up. He was very weak and bedridden, with less than half of his life left. Fortunately, Chen Dong was there, and rare medicinal materials such as wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum, snow lotus, deer antlers, cordyceps, ambergris, polygonatum, etc. were put into his stomach for free. Xie Jinglan suspected that he had killed Chen Dong. All the old money has been eaten up.
The body slowly recovers, but some things can never be restored after they are damaged. Xie Jinglan should be lucky to have escaped from the tragedy of annihilating his family with a life. However, this life was not the seed of revenge. Except for one arm, he paid a much heavier price. The meridians were twisted, the sea of qi was destroyed, and there was not much left in his cultivation. , the dignified disciples of Taiyi Sect are probably not as good as casual cultivators who have practiced the three-legged cat spell a few times.
He is a loser.
However, Xie Jinglan did not show any strangeness, or in other words, he buried all the strangeness deep in his heart. He "seizes the creation of heaven and earth for his own use, and plucks out a hair to benefit the world without doing anything." He has practiced in Taiyi Sect for many years and is well versed in these two things. The weight of a sentence.
Always seek rewards for your efforts, and when your spirits are a little better, Xie Jinglan was grateful for Chen Dong's help and had an in-depth talk with him all night to clarify his doubts.
Chen Dong was about to reach the end of his life and wanted to prolong his life. Xie Jinglan gave him a purple golden elixir. After taking it, he could extend his life by one century. However, this was only one chance. Taking too many purple golden elixirs was ineffective. If he wanted to live long-term, he could only use the elixir to cleanse the marrow and change the tendons. Reborn.
Chen Dong asked where he could find the elixir that cleanses the marrow and eases tendons. Xie Jinglan pointed to the northwest and said, "The elixir is in Kunlun."
This is not to deceive him. Xie Jinglan heard his master mention that although the Kunlun Sect is a sword cultivator, it is quite unique in alchemy. The Qiankun Yiqi Pill is mild and pure in power and is a rare top-grade product. It can have the effect of rebirth for ordinary people. Although the Taiyi Sect has pills The recipe has been developed with great concentration for many years, but it has never been completed.
Half a year later, the ship arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Chen Dongli invited Xie Jinglan to accompany him, but the latter politely declined. Xie Jinglan couldn't believe it after all. He still had many things from the Immortal Family that he didn't dare to expose. If the other party found out the truth, it would be hard to avoid being greedy. He was no longer a talisman who could summon wind and rain and spread the beans into soldiers. Be careful. Big mistake, Xie Jinglan said goodbye to him, made a good gesture, smiled, and drifted away.
Chen Dong didn't suspect anything.
At this time, the land of the Central Plains was full of chaos. The Eighteenth Route Army rebelled against the king and was vying for the throne. Thieves were on the rise and the people were in dire straits. The troops divided into two groups and attacked the capital.
Xie Jinglan felt like a mirror in his heart. Chen Dong had already cashed in the capital's property and hired a ship to go south by sea. He was obviously well prepared. His shadow was looming behind this rebellion that changed the dynasty.
But all this had nothing to do with him. After this setback, Xie Jinglan became discouraged and decided to stay away from the land of right and wrong, and embarked on a journey to the west.
In the secular world, as a mortal, you can walk around and have a chat to relieve your boredom. Xie Jinglan traveled all over the country, and finally went upstream along the Ximin River to the town customs, exited the customs, and disappeared into the vast grassland. The sky, clouds and wind blocked the news from the Central Plains. After wandering alone for decades, he felt desolate and tired. Finally, at a certain time and place, he met a certain iron-breasted woman and stayed with her forever.
From then on, he lived anonymously and lived like a Tiebou man.
While talking, the iron-breasted woman loaded a plate full of mutton and brought it into the tent. Uwe followed behind her, holding a square plate in a decent manner. The gray-white blood sausage in the plate was trembling in a ball. .
Xie Jinglan stopped talking about Ruyan's past, poured wine and raised glasses to celebrate the birthday of the guests who came from afar. Wei Shiqi was not polite to him and started drinking and eating meat.
Hand-caught mutton is freshly slaughtered fat sheep boiled in plain water. When eaten, it is dipped in salt water. It is crispy, tender, bloody and easy to digest. Blood sausage is made by pouring sheep blood into the intestines and cooking it with the mutton until it is medium-cooked, fragrant, tender and satisfying.
Uwe likes to eat blood sausage. Half-coagulated sheep blood drips from the corner of her mouth. She licks it with her tongue and smiles.
A fat sheep was eaten in a short time. After drinking seven or eight bags of milk wine, Wei Shiqi still had more to say. (.html)
