I was totally embarrassed at that time.
Zhang Chu then raised his hand and pointed at me, saying, "Tianyi boy, the fruit on your left hand in front of you with short hairs and dark green skin is the female black-bearded fruit. The fruits with long hairs and dark green skin are male black-bearded fruits."
Under the guidance of the cheap master Zhang Chu, I picked three black-bearded fruits, two male black-bearded fruits and one female black-bearded fruit.
As I approached Master Jiang, I handed him a male blackberry fruit.
"Master Jiang, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have found this place, and I wouldn't have met my master and received twenty years of Yinde from him. You can eat this Wuxu fruit first, it can replenish your vitality!"
Master Jiang did not refuse. Seeing that Zhang Cuzi had no objection, he took the male black-bearded fruit with a smile.
Although the black-bellied fruit is a supplement for people with insufficient vitality, for those with sufficient vitality, it can strengthen the blood and make the body stronger, and it also has a strong immune effect against malignant diseases.
This is what my cheap master Zhang Chu just told me.
Master Jiang slowly peeled off the skin of the blackberry fruit, and I saw that the flesh inside was all red. However, that red was not blood red, but a red similar to cherry juice, with a hint of blood on it.
Without hesitation, Master Jiang ate the flesh of the black-bearded fruit.
It's also interesting to say that when Master Jiang ate the black-bearded fruit, he looked very happy, smacking his lips and closing his eyes. He looked like he was having a massage at a massage parlor.
"Do you feel anything?"
I asked with a smile.
Master Jiang opened his eyes, a look of excitement in his eyes.
He said: "It's amazing. The flesh of the black-bearded fruit is like jelly, icy and cool, and it turns into juice as soon as you put it in your mouth! Although the juice has a little bit of blood in it, it has a strong stimulating effect on blood. I feel like I have a lot more strength now. Even if I encounter a bull, I might be able to subdue it!"
Master Jiang’s words were not false. The effect of the black-bearded fruit in strengthening the blood was extraordinary.
Zhang Quezi was standing aside and heard what Master Jiang said. He smiled strangely and said, "The black-bearded fruit is indeed a rare good thing, but it is not advisable to eat too much. People's blood and qi also have an upper limit. If you eat too much black-bearded fruit, I'm afraid it will be an excessive burden on the body!"
"Generally speaking, one wuxu fruit is enough for a person in ten years."
At this point, Zhang Chu looked at me and said, "Tianyi, you should eat quickly too. After taking the Wuxu Fruit, we will leave here. Don't you still need to save that woman? We can't delay it for too long!"
"Um!"
I nodded, then peeled the male blackberry and put it in my mouth.
It is just as Master Jiang said, the flesh of the black-bearded fruit is icy cold. After taking it, you can feel the majestic blood energy and a feeling of blood vessels dilating.
But what surprised me was yet to come. After I took the Wuxu fruit, I found that my chest suddenly felt hot and burning. It was as if something had come alive in my chest and was constantly twisting on it.
In a flash, the blood energy produced by the male black-bearded fruit just now disappeared.
The only thing I feel now is that my body feels a little more comfortable, but there doesn't seem to be any big change.
Seeing me standing there in a daze, my cheap master Zhang Chu asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Tianyi boy, it seems that you are not very satisfied with the black beard fruit?"
I smiled wryly and nodded.
After a while, I thought about it and asked Zhang Quezi with a smile: "Master, am I considered your apprentice now?"
Zhang Chu was stunned by my question.
.
He stared at me, smiled strangely and said, "You have inherited my virtue, so of course you are my disciple! Why? Why are you asking?"
After listening to his words, I felt relieved.
Then I made my request.
"Um... Master, since I'm your disciple, can I eat one more Wuxu Fruit? The Wuxu Fruit I just ate didn't seem to have any effect on me!"
When Zhang Chu heard what I said, he was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he came back to his senses and asked me in surprise, "What did you say? You said that the black beard fruit had no effect after you ate it?"
I licked the corner of my mouth, nodded and said, "That's right! ... Master, can I have another one?"
Zhang Chu slowly frowned and looked me over, but he still said loudly: "It's okay, you can eat as much as you want. But I'm afraid your body can't handle it."
"Tianyi, although Wuxu fruit is a good thing, good things are not good just by eating too much. Do you understand what I mean?"
I nodded my head like a chick pecking at rice.
But then I didn't care about Zhang Chu and Master Jiang. I rushed directly to the black beard fruit tree, picked another male black beard fruit from it, and then returned.
Under the astonished gazes of my cheap master Zhang Chu and master Jiang, I took another black-bearded fruit.
The cool fruit flesh feels very comfortable when it enters the stomach.
Soon, I felt the burning sensation in my chest again, even stronger than before.
I felt a little hot all over, but without thinking too much, I took off my clothes in front of Zhang Chu and Master Jiang.
When I took off my clothes, I found that the "talisman pattern" that had been integrated into my skin seemed to be alive and kept moving around on my body, and some of it disappeared without a trace.
Seeing such a strange scene, Zhang Chu asked in surprise, "Disciple Tianyi, is this... is this the amulet that protected you before?"
My face was already red and I felt like I had a high fever, but I was conscious.
"Yes, Master. This is my protective amulet. I originally drew it on my body with cinnabar. Later, after the amulet absorbed my blood and energy again, it was engraved on my body. I didn't expect that after eating the black beard fruit, the protective amulet would change again. Look at this part, it has disappeared."
Zhang Chu subconsciously walked up to me.
He reached out and touched the runes that were still on my body. He could feel the bulges on them, but the skin on the part where the runes had just disappeared was clean and there was nothing on it.
What's going on? I don't know.
Zhang Chu also frowned, looking puzzled.
It seems that I need to find some time to study the introduction of my amulet pattern in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
Soon, the redness on my face slowly faded away, and the burning sensation on my chest also disappeared.
But the good thing is that I didn’t find anything wrong with my body.
I even started to feel a little dry in the mouth. I could feel my body craving for the blackberry.
So I gritted my teeth and spoke again, "Master, I still want to eat the black beard fruit!"
"Still eating?"
Zhang Chu asked back. His expression was very complicated, with surprise, worry, astonishment and confusion.
But after taking a look at the remaining runes on my body, he still said, "Tianyi boy, if your body can bear it, then you can eat it!"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Master!"
Then, I happily ran to the blackberry tree and picked the male blackberry fruits.
And when Zhang
Chu and Master Jiang's noodles started to be devoured.
To be honest, the black-bellied fruit is only the size of a longan and it really doesn’t satisfy your hunger.
So one, two, three...
I ate eight blackberry fruits in total.
When I couldn't eat anymore, I found that the amulet on my body had completely disappeared. But I could feel that the thing was inside my body.
"Well!"
I let out a loud burp.
"You... you're not eating anymore?"
Zhang Chu asked in a trembling voice. He no longer looked like a master, and when he looked at me, it was as if he was looking at a monster or an alien.
Master Jiang was even more exaggerated. He circled around me several times and patted me with his hands.
He muttered to himself, "How could this happen? There was no change at all! There were ten black beard fruits in total, and they were eaten just like that. This is incredible!"
Neither Zhang Chu nor Master Jiang knew what changes had taken place in my body.
But I was not worried. Why? Because I felt that most of the things recorded in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes were useful to Taoists, so they should not cause any harm to me.
"Haha... Disciple Tianyi, you are really special. It seems that I made the right choice to accept you as my disciple. I am the Lame Zhang who has a keen eye for talent! You are even more peculiar than I am!..."
Zhang Chu suddenly stood aside and laughed strangely, his laughter was creepy.
But I am a little ashamed of his self-boasting.
Soon, with confusion, the three of us left the cave and returned to the bamboo house.
At the bamboo house, Master Jiang and I didn't stay for too long because we were anxious to save people.
However, my cheap master Zhang Chu still called me aside.
He told me to catch ghosts well and hone my skills, and said that if there was any news about Miao Yao, he would inform me as soon as possible, and then he would take me with him to deal with that Miao girl.
Without much chatting, Master Jiang and I left the bamboo house and walked out of the bamboo forest.
Before leaving, Zhang Chu asked for my phone number and the address of my apartment in Xiyuan Community.
It seems that he really treats me as his apprentice. He doesn't look pretentious!
Seeing us walking away, Zhang Guizi didn't know what he was thinking, but there was always a smile on his face.
He no longer smiled strangely, but instead had a smug look on his face.
Niu Dalong, who was standing next to him, saw his master in that state and asked in confusion, "Master, are you okay?"
Who would have thought that Zhang Quezi said to Niu Dalong cheerfully, "Dalong, go prepare the bath water and shaving tools. I need to clean my body... I haven't bathed for 20 years, and the smell on my body is really fermenting."
"What? Master, you want to take a shower and shave?"
Niu Dalong looked as if he had heard something out of the Arabian Nights.
Seeing that his apprentice Niu Dalong was full of surprise and doubt, Zhang Quezi went around behind Niu Dalong.
Very rudely, he kicked Niu Dalong's butt hard and said angrily: "What? I want to take a shower and shave, but you won't allow me to? Go and prepare the bath water for me, otherwise, I will make sure you can't get out of bed for this month!"
Niu Dalong didn't understand what was going on, but he ran away quickly anyway.
Looking at the direction where Master Jiang and I left, Zhang Chu's mouth curled up slightly, and he muttered softly: "It seems that I, Zhang Chu, have to change my outfit. At least I can't embarrass my cheap apprentice. Otherwise, when that kid becomes famous in the world, it will be bad for people to know that there is such a sloppy master... Hahaha..."
The strange laughter echoed in the bamboo forest for a long time.
