The reason why Cao Zhe started writing this recipe... Bah! It is the Secret Record of Ping Yao, which is to pave the way and prepare for some of the subsequent plans.
Never forget that the purpose of competitors coming to this world is not to adapt to it and experience it, but to change it, or even create and destroy it.
But in a world with immortals and gods, it would be too arrogant to casually talk about guiding the world to upgrade.
Cao Zhe did not dare to make such a judgment easily, thinking that he could definitely do it.
Mainly because one hundred years is too short.
Therefore, Cao Zhe is ready to find another way, such as changing the living and eating habits of people in this world.
Turning Ghost Fox Liaozhai into a Liaozhai on the tip of your tongue, or a delicious Liaozhai, is a small attempt you can try.
Of course, Cao Zhe does not necessarily have to take this path. It is just one of several options that come to mind, and it is not the top priority.
Putting away the Secret Record of Pingyao, Cao Zhe looked at the two people with solemn and silly expressions and said: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Eat it while it's hot!"
The young man surnamed Zuo cupped his fists and said: "I and I were blind and didn't know that Mr. Wang was an expert with magic. In that case, why did you ask me to come to protect you? With this skill of Mr. Wang alone, the world can be destroyed. have to."
Cao Zhe shook his head and said: "Although I have some means, I don't have the power to restrain the chicken. In many aspects, I still have to rely on the help of you two."
Although in fact, they are just used as errands, this cannot be said truthfully.
This is emotional intelligence.
Hearing this, the young man surnamed Zuo seemed to accept the answer.
Smart people know not to dig deeper to avoid embarrassing themselves.
Then he walked to the huge roast chicken, cut off a chicken leg with a knife, gave half to his companions, and started chewing it.
After a night of silence, the three of them continued on their way.
After walking like this for less than half a month, I met a water ghost who asked for a drink, and a tiger who asked questions. I got the advantage of a pig-shaped dragon, and quickly walked 800 miles of waterway, and then ended up in this pig. Before Po Long turned against him, Cao Zhe chopped it first and made half of it into meat soup and half into raw fish. The taste was also good and he was qualified to be on the food list of "Pingyao Mi Lu".
Finally, before the end of the month, the three of them arrived in Laoshan.
At the foot of Laoshan Mountain, Zuo and Zhao bid farewell to Cao Zhe.
Cao Zhe also gave each of them a martial arts secret book.
"Remember to practice the secret book I gave you. If you encounter a hurdle that you can't overcome, just think about the content of the secret book and recall what I said to you along the way." Cao Zhe told the two of them before leaving. road.
The two clasped their fists and left, riding their horses and whipping their whips, and walked further and further away.
It seems that because of the "absurdity" and the frequent occurrence of monsters and ghosts in this world, these people who run around in the world have a sense of freedom and ease that is indifferent to life, death and separation.
Cao Zhe turned around and went up the mountain. He wandered among the mountains for two consecutive days. On the third day, he climbed to the top of a mountain. Suddenly, when the clouds cleared and the mist dispersed, he saw a Taoist temple, among the silent mountains and forests. The Taoist temple also seems particularly quiet.
Knocking on the door and entering, a little Taoist boy guided him directly to the main hall.
In the main hall, I saw a person sitting cross-legged on a futon.
His long white hair hangs down on his shoulders, he is full of energy and has a heroic demeanor.
Seeing Cao Zhe arrive, he didn't seem surprised at all.
Cao Zhe immediately stepped forward, saluted the Taoist, and then explained his intention.
But the Taoist said: "I see you are spoiled and spoiled, I'm afraid you can't bear the hardship on the mountain, so why not go down the mountain as soon as possible!"
Cao Zhe immediately said: "As long as Master accepts me, I will be able to endure hardships."
When the Taoist saw this, he no longer tried to persuade him, but said, "In that case, you can stay here first and live with me in the temple every day, carrying water, chopping wood, meditating, and learning Taoism together."
Cao Zhe knew that this was the beginning of the test.
If you take the normal route, you will definitely agree at this time, and then you only need to wait patiently and endure hardships, and one day you will be able to get this Taoist to recognize his intention to follow the Tao.
In this period of suffering, Taoists will surely seduce them with beauty, fine wine, fame and wealth. On the one hand, they will guide their hearts toward Taoism, and on the other hand, they will shake their minds and make them miss the prosperity of the mortal world.
However, Cao Zhe didn't want to wait!
time does not wait!
The reason why he gave up Xin Shiniang's soft food was because becoming a disciple of Taoist Master Laoshan could more directly and quickly obtain the method of cultivating immortals and get a glimpse of the door.
There is no need to spend a lot of energy and thought on getting into too many entanglements with a female cultivator who is actually true to the Tao and determined to become an immortal.
Even the ancestor Feng Sheng had some interactions with the big figures in the underworld, but in fact, it was not of much benefit to the Taoist practice.
You must know that becoming a monk and entering the Taoist world will end your worldly ties, but a prosperous family in the underworld will never be able to live in this world.
All kinds of entanglements of cause and effect are even more troublesome.
"Master! There is a disciple here who is studying the Taoist scriptures at home. I wonder if Master can give me some advice on the book?" Cao Zhe said and handed over a book that had been prepared.
And there are four big characters written on the book... Origin of Qi Ti!
This book was written by the former Taoist Master Mi Jingzi and can be called a modern Taoist classic. After Cao Zhe slightly deleted it, he took it out as a stepping stone.
The Taoist didn't care at all, but after seeing the four big characters on the book, he became slightly interested.
After opening the page and reading a few sentences carefully, his expression suddenly became solemn.
I saw him quickly closing the book.
Then he waved his sleeves to get some clean water and washed his hands repeatedly until he was sure they were spotless.
I lit another incense stick, calmed down, and then continued to open the pages of the book and read.
The more I read, the more delighted I became, and I couldn't help but dance.
After finishing reading a book, it was already dark, but the Taoist stood up and saluted Cao Zhe.
"This book by Taoist friends has given me a glimpse of the true meaning of the Tao. If I had not known the method of cultivating immortality and entering the Tao, my cultivation would have been above that of the poor Tao."
"I am really too ashamed to be my fellow Taoist teacher. If my fellow Taoist won't give up, you can become my disciple in Laoshan and be worthy of my fellow Taoist brothers. What do you think, fellow Taoist?" At this time, the Taoist's attitude was simply convenient compared to before. It's a world of difference.
Cao Zhe can be regarded as a different kind of display of 'strength'.
Although Cao Zhe could write a "Tao Jing" based on his own opinions.
However, such Taoist scriptures are more likely to be deviant and estranged from the true meaning of Taoism. Instead, they will be regarded as evil heretics by the Taoist people.
Even so, I can only be a literary thief!
Anyway, so many senior time travelers have done it, why can’t he, Cao Zhe?
"So, junior brother has met senior brother!" Cao Zhe said immediately.
As long as he can enter Taoism and learn the true method of cultivating immortals, Cao Zhe doesn't care whether he becomes a disciple or a junior disciple.
"Junior brother has such insight, I have three methods of cultivation for him to choose from."
"It's just that it's getting late today, and my junior brother is also tired from traveling all the way. It's better to spend the night repairing."
"When tomorrow comes, junior brother, I will listen to you one by one."
