Although he couldn't start practicing directly for the sake of conservatism, he was very familiar with controlling the vitality of heaven and earth.
As long as the state of unity between heaven and man is turned on, the power of heaven and earth can be mobilized to create spells containing various natural powers.
"Set a small goal first. Make a hundred thunder talisman, a hundred fire talisman, a hundred wind talisman, a hundred ice talisman. In addition, the sword intention talisman, the golden light talisman, the Thousand Miles in a Day talisman... these are all necessary to make. Keep some for later use.”
"Also, arrange for people to purchase black dog blood, black donkey hooves, and children's urine to make some simple small magic tools for body protection."
"Finally, if you spend a lot of money or directly offer a reward for first-class martial arts secrets, and invite a few martial arts masters to help run errands, you are almost ready." Cao Zhe quickly organized his thoughts and started to act.
The preparation time was not too long. After being blessed with energy and the unity of heaven and man, Cao Zhe drank the tonic and drew the talismans.
In about three days, all preparations were made, and then he took the five recruited masters and headed towards Laoshan at high speed.
Although the place names overlap, the vastness of the Liaozhai World obviously exceeds that of the Divine Condor World.
It was more than three thousand miles from the county town where the Wang family was located to Laoshan.
Working hard, everyone arrived at a small town to stay overnight without any danger on the first day.
Although a mountain ghost sneaked into the inn in the middle of the night to suck a small amount of energy from the merchants coming and going, the mountain ghost was very sensible and sensed that the five masters around Cao Zhe had strong energy and blood and were not people to be trifled with, so they did not bother them. .
The next day, everyone encountered heavy rain on the road and was forcibly stranded in a barren mountain.
The mountain rain was sudden, and under the gusty wind, the swaying branches looked like claws, which looked particularly terrifying.
"Sir, this is what a monster is doing. It wants to trap us in the mountains. We can't panic. First we need to find a dry place to light a fire. Then we sit up together and open our eyes together until dawn. Then everything will be fine." Recruited Among the masters, a young man named Zuo said to Cao Zhe.
Cao Zhe nodded and agreed with the idea.
A group of five people found a cave, then walked in and quickly tidied up the surroundings. Two people looked for firewood, one started a fire, and one thought about catching some game. Then the three of them came out of the cave together.
Finally, the young man named Zuo always protected Cao Zhe.
After a while, two screams came from the forest.
After that, the third scream came as promised.
The young man who was lighting the fire felt his fingers trembling, and the fire became increasingly difficult to light.
"Don't panic! Don't worry about whether it's a ghost or a demon. If we are 70% afraid of it, it will be 30% afraid of us. If it is really unscrupulous, why not attack directly?" said the young man surnamed Zuo.
Then he raised his long knife and struck it on the flint.
Sparks spattered and ignited a pile of dead wood.
Flames rose, warming the cave.
The other young man who was trembling also calmed down and his face turned slightly red.
Seems embarrassed.
"You keep watch over the prince. I'll go out and have a look. It's just an acquaintance after all. If something happens to them, I will take care of their corpses. If they are just injured, I can save them." The young man surnamed Zuo still had some doubts about what he had done before. said the trembling young man.
Then, he cupped his fists at Cao Zhe and strode into the night rain.
Cao Zhe held a copy of the "Qing Jing Sutra" and a cold steamed bun in the other hand. He was reading and eating steamed buns. He seemed to be enjoying himself, as if he didn't care about everything happening around him.
A moment later, three figures rushed in.
With fierce eyes, they scanned the cave unscrupulously. When they saw that there were only two people in the cave, they all showed a hint of joy.
"Are you... okay?"
"Wait! Are you humans or ghosts?" The timid young man pulled out his sword and asked vigilantly. Although he was a little scared, he stood in front of Cao Zhe without hesitation and blocked the three people. sight.
"There is only this waste, the one named Zuo has left!"
"That's it! Chop these two brats up, then divide the money and share the secrets." As the three of them spoke, they rushed towards Cao Zhe and the young man standing in front of Cao Zhe.
After listening to the conversation between the three, the young man naturally understood that the three were not ghosts, and his fear receded a lot, and he raised his sword to fight.
It's a pity that with his own strength, how can he be the opponent of three people?
However, after a few exchanges of blows, the timid young man's body had already been scratched with four or five moderately deep wounds by the blade.
"Your internal strength is not as deep as theirs, and your moves are not as fierce as theirs. Your body skills are slightly stronger, but you still have to protect me in front of me. If you lose your flexibility, if you don't make three moves, you will be stabbed. Hack him to death." Cao Zhe flipped through the book, ate cold steamed buns, and then said in a leisurely manner.
The offensive gradually stopped, and the three people who abandoned their righteousness in favor of others looked at Cao Zhe with some surprise.
"Pretentious!"
"Kill him!" The oldest and most ferocious one among the three roared.
Then the three of them pounced on him again.
"If your sword were moved even an inch to the left, his arm would be useless." Cao Zhe said.
The timid young man subconsciously obeyed.
Wow!
Sure enough, the most vicious one among the three had his arm cut off as if he had hit the edge of a sword.
"Don't be distracted, don't be in a daze, move to the Kun position, turn around, and chop the sword!"
"Hurry!" Cao Zhe gave instructions without even looking.
The timid young man obeyed again.
After the incident just now, the three people became suspicious and fearful, and deliberately changed their original attack rhythm. Unexpectedly, one of them was struck by the timid young man's sword, which was pulled apart directly between the chest and abdomen. There was a big bloodstain. If it hadn't been for the timid young man's final hesitation, he would have been cut in half with a single sword strike.
At the same time, a more rapid footsteps came from outside the cave.
Before the person arrives, the knife arrives first.
The long whip was wrapped with a long knife, and it stabbed one of the three people. The strong internal force surged out and raised a faint light.
"Three rats! There is such a trick!"
"It's useless for me to regard you as friends." The young man surnamed Zuo had already rushed back.
"Let's go!" Seeing that they were outnumbered, the three of them had no choice but to escape.
Divide into three directions and quickly escape from the cave.
"Where are you running?" The young man surnamed Zuo was about to chase, but Cao Zhe shouted from behind him: "Stop chasing, there is still a lot of fun tonight!"
"Since they are already injured, they will not survive tonight."
With that said, Cao Zhe finally put down the book in his hand.
Then he opened the book box and took out the pen and ink.
He took out a booklet and wrote on the first page: "There is a demon in Jiuyu Mountain. It looks like a giant chicken, with multiple crests, colorful feathers, three legs and six wings."
In the flickering light of the fire, a corpse with its internal organs eviscerated was thrown back into the cave.
Accompanied by a weird "coo" sound, a giant chicken that was two people tall, had multiple human bone masks on its head, feathers as bright as drops of blood, three legs with barbs and spines, and six wings. The demon broke into the cave fiercely.
Cold sweat also appeared on the forehead of the young man named Zuo.
If all five of them are present, they might be able to fight this chicken demon.
Now there are only two people left, and the young man named Zuo is not sure.
But before the young man named Zuo could make a decision, Cao Zhe stood up behind him and threw out two talismans.
The first talisman turned into a ball of fierce fire.
The flames fell on the chicken demon's body, burning all the feathers on its body, and then began to have scorching fire power, penetrating into the chicken and internal organs.
The second talisman turned into an invisible sword, cutting off the chicken's head with one sword and squeezing out all the chicken's blood.
At this time, the chicken blood is still warm. It has not solidified in the meat, causing the meat to smell fishy, nor has it been bled out in advance, causing the chicken to be overheated during baking.
Cao Zhe can be said to have excellent control over the heat.
As the aroma begins to overflow, the roasted chicken takes on a golden-red color.
"Sure enough, it's not that my cooking skills are bad, but that the ingredients I used before are not good enough to practice my extraordinary cooking skills." Cao Zhe thought to himself.
With the tip of the sword raised, a piece of roasted meat wing flew towards Cao Zhe and fell into his hands.
Cao Zhe put it in his mouth and took a bite, his eyes lit up.
Then he quickly wrote on the booklet: "Roast with fire and chop with sword. The best ingredients can be cooked in the simplest way. In addition, they can be fried, fumigated, etc. If it has a unique flavor, give it three stars.”
