Unrefined rock salt is difficult to eat, bitter and astringent, and has many solid impurities. After melting, your mouth will be full of sand.
Once the initial excitement wore off, the group had no idea of trying it again.
When I was free in the afternoon, a stone cauldron was quickly set up in the corridor. There was a blazing flame under the pot. Large pieces of rock salt were crushed and ground into powder, and then poured into the violently boiling water for cooking.
Most of the people here have attended high school, and are basically familiar with the chemical experiments of salt purification. Even if they have forgotten some, they have been completed one by one with everyone's suggestions.
After repeated filtration, crystallization, and final boiling, a layer of snow-like white salt appeared in front of everyone. The salt was carefully scraped into a large stone bowl and then covered with a lid.
Everyone was excited and continued to cook the second pot until it was almost dark. They had cooked four large pots and nearly thirty or forty kilograms of salt. This much salt was not in short supply in a short period of time.
Moreover, there is still a large pile of rock salt left here. If it is all processed, it will probably be enough even if it lasts for four or five years. By then, if you were still in the forest, you would have already found another rock salt.
During the entire afternoon, the strange bird did not appear, which made Luo Yuan and others feel a little relieved. It seemed that the strange bird had learned its lesson and would not come again.
After a simple dinner, he sat cross-legged again, trying to break through the curse and completely liberate his will as soon as possible. Will was an important part of his strength. Once he could not condense his will, his attack power and defense power would drop by one point. Big cut.
In this primeval forest, which is full of dangers, it is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing.
… … …
Before dawn the next day, he opened his eyes, with a hint of exhaustion and irritability in his eyes. Throughout the night, he only fell into silence once, and then when he wanted to fall into silence again, his thoughts started to swirl, and he could not calm down for a long time.
The only thing that can make Luo Yuan feel a little better is that the curse has been weakened by one level again. Now the illusion has become blurry and basically shapeless. If this continues, I am afraid that even if he is no longer quiet, after three or four God, it will automatically collapse.
He looked at the time. It was almost three o'clock in the morning, and there were still two or three hours before dawn. However, he was not very sleepy. His physical condition at 14 o'clock allowed him to fully regain his energy after just sitting quietly for a night. He wiped He rubbed his face and stood up.
"Ah! Who is there?" Zhao Yali seemed to be doing something. Suddenly she saw the shadow at the door, and she couldn't help but startled and whispered.
Her clothes were thin because she had just gotten up, and her shoulders revealed a touch of snow-white and delicate skin. Her coquettish lips were slightly open, bright red and moist, with a healthy color, which made Luo Yuan unable to help but want to move.
"It's me!" Luo Yuan said quickly. She didn't have dark vision and obviously couldn't see him at all: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
"You scared me. I thought who was standing there." Zhao Yali heard Luo Yuan's voice and breathed a sigh of relief, then added: "I can't sleep."
Now, she rarely calls him Xiaoyuan, and she can't connect with the kind and peaceful Xiaoyuan before. He makes her feel a little strange and scared!
"Since I can't sleep, let's chat!"
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Yali said, her tone slightly stiff.
"Talk about everything!" Luo Yuan thought for a while and said, "For example, let's talk about how you lived before?"
Zhao Yali was silent for a long time, and the atmosphere suddenly felt awkward.
However, she has never been a tough person and has always been submissive. It is difficult to truly hate someone. Seeing Luo Yuan standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to say, Zhao Yali was happy but also felt a little unbearable. It was really hard for such a strong person to be so humble to her.
Zhao Yali was thinking wildly, hesitated for a moment, then relented and said: "Those things that are nothing to talk about are in the past. How about you teach me how to practice swordsmanship? I can't even do those moves well now."
"Of course it's no problem!" Luo Yuan said: "Let's go outside!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yali didn't think much, and found the long knife in the dark. She followed Luo Yuan to the corridor of the rock wall. She saw Luo Yuan walking forward and unknowingly walked fifty or sixty meters. The surroundings were dark and cold. She was a little scared and couldn't help but ask: "Why go so far?"
"This way it won't disturb sleeping people!"
"It's far enough. Let's keep our voices down so they can't hear us!" Zhao Yali said, and then she didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned slightly red.
Luo Yuan looked around and saw that he was at least seventy or eighty meters away from the grotto, so he said: "Okay, then here, you can use the basic moves first, and I will correct them for you."
Seeing that Luo Yuan stopped without any hesitation, she felt slightly reassured, calmed down and said, "Then I'm going to practice swordsmanship, don't laugh at me!"
"As long as it doesn't hit the point of laughter, I usually won't laugh!" He showed a rare moment of humor.
"You are so annoying!"
Zhao Yali said coquettishly, and couldn't help but froze for a moment, feeling a little dazed. Talking like this easily seemed to have not happened for a long, long time, maybe two years, maybe a lifetime ago.
She came back to her senses, no longer joking, with a sullen look on her face. She drew her sword and started practicing. After a while, there was a "chichi" sound of the blade cutting through the air in the darkness.
She's not as bad as she says, as her evolution begins. Whether it is the power or speed of the sword, it has faintly surpassed the most powerful Lin Xiaoji. And this strengthening is still ongoing, and we don’t know to what extent it will evolve in the end.
Of course, her posture is still flawed, her movements are somewhat irregular, some muscles are not involved in exerting force at all, and the degree of coherence is not high, but this is not just her problem, everyone has it to one degree or another. The problem. She's not at the forefront, nor is she at the bottom. To be able to go from a novice with no strength and no knowledge of anything to this level shows how hard she has worked behind the scenes.
Luo Yuan felt a little moved in his heart. She seemed to have begun to change since Lao Huang's death, but he knew nothing about it. Maybe he really cared too little about her.
… …
"Okay, the warm-up is over. You first do the first posture of the first movement, and then don't move. I will help you correct it!" Luo Yuan said to Zhao Yali after practicing it several times and feeling a little out of breath.
The first one was the most powerful chop. Zhao Yali held the knife in both hands obediently and raised it.
"The arms should be raised as high as possible, even a little higher, so that the potential energy can be fully utilized and the power of the downward chop can be greater!" Luo Yuan walked over and said while straightening her arms.
The physical contact made Zhao Yali tremble slightly, as if there was a heat flowing into her body. Her face was a little feverish, but she had had close relationships before, so she didn't care much about such contact. Then she listened carefully to Luo Yuan's explanation. .
…
"Next is the waist. Your psoas muscles are too stiff. They need to be twisted, and they need to be natural and smooth. Don't be too deliberate." Luo Yuan touched her waist naturally, and put his hand directly through her clothes, his palms kept touching He groped her skin, seeming to be looking for muscles in her waist.
After evolving, her skin became more delicate and seemed to have a certain luster, which made Luo Yuan feel a little obsessed.
Gradually, Zhao Yali's body began to tremble slightly, and a flush appeared all over her body. At the same time, a wave of anger brewed in her heart. Sure enough, the other party had no good intentions. Just when she mustered up the courage, she wanted to rebuke.
Luo Yuan's serious voice sounded again: "It's this big muscle. Feel it and touch mine later to compare."
She bit her lip and remained silent. She looked at Luo Yuan suspiciously, but she could only see Luo Yuan's serious face.
…
"Your legs don't know how to step at all. This is a very crucial step, which can greatly enhance the speed of your knife..." Luo Yuan said in a deep voice, squatting down and touching her thigh: "You haven't moved these muscles at all before. You can practice them later."
As if she touched a sensitive spot, Zhao Yali's breathing became rapid and her whole body felt weak. She said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoyuan, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest."
"This is only half of the lesson..."
At this time, Zhao Yali fully understood his "sinister" intentions. She mustered up her remaining strength and pushed Luo Yuan away, trying to leave: "Let's wait for another day. Today I... I'm not ready yet."
Cut out five hundred words!
… …
The wind and rain stopped.
Zhao Yali collapsed on the ground with a flushed face, and her whole body was almost falling apart. It was not until a long time that she recovered from the confusion.
"Are you okay?" Luo Yuan said.
She rolled her eyes at Luo Yuan, stood up hurriedly, and quickly got dressed.
Under the afterglow of the moonlight, the ground seemed a little wet, with a large pool of water stains and a fishy, salty smell. Her face turned red and she quickly rubbed her feet vigorously.
Seeing her shy look, Luo Yuan said amusedly: "I'll handle it. You go back first. It seems to be dawning soon."
"It's all your fault, I left." Zhao Yali blamed angrily and ran away in a hurry.
