Among the towering old trees and the bushes, the gap between the trees is covered with a layer of withered yellow leaves, occasionally mixed with dark green, golden yellow, dark red and other newly fallen leaves that have not completely faded.
Before night fell, the forest covered by trees was dark. Not far away, the crackling sound of burning dry wood sounded from time to time, and a cluster of small fires was burning vigorously, emitting a warm yellow light.
On the fire, there is a treated animal, which is strung by a branch and flipped back and forth. Going down the trend, a big palm with well-defined joints is holding the other end, turning it twice from time to time.
The man grilling meat was dressed in white and sat on the ground covered with cloth with his knees bent. On the side, a relatively slender young man lay on the man's shoulder, looking helplessly at the golden-yellow animal whose face could no longer be seen clearly.
These two people are Qi Ling and Mo Fan. To say why the two of them appeared here, we have to start talking about an hour ago.
*****
"I want to eat."
After cultivating the human form, Mo Fan suddenly thought of a problem. He hasn't eaten recently. Qi Ling is a monk, so he doesn't need to eat whole grains, and he didn't feel hungry, so he forgot about it.
"What to eat? Huiyuan Pill? Ningshen Pill? Or something else? Or take a medicinal bath?" Qi Ling sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace, like every treasure.
"It's not like that."
"Huh?" Qi Ling shifted his gaze from the alchemy stove to Mo Fan, "Why don't you eat these?"
Mo Fan snapped his fingers, "Sweet and sour fish, deep-fried shrimp, roasted whole lamb..."
Qi Ling frowned, "Isn't this common food?"
Mo Fan nodded, "Yeah, I just want to eat these."
"You..." A elixir, do you need to eat whole grains
Mo Fan raised his eyebrows, "I just want to eat!"
Qi Ling: ...
After a moment, he hesitated, "Can you eat?"
Mo Fan nodded, "We can, let's eat."
Qi Ling agreed, but instead of taking Mo Fan to a restaurant, he took Mo Fan to a deep mountain forest, hunted a wild animal that Mo Fan could not name, and roasted it for Mo Fan himself.
"What is this?" Mo Fan asked looking at the pig-like animal.
"Wild boar."
Mo Fan: It's really a pig.
"You will?" Mo Fan asked implicitly.
Qi Ling handled the animal in his hands, and did not directly answer Mo Fan's question, "You will know later."
Mo Fan: Is it yes or no
But since the other party has the confidence to bring him here, it shouldn't be unpalatable, right
The wild boar on the fire had already started to emit a burst of meaty aroma, Qi Ling took out the seasoning and sprinkled it on.
Mo Fan wondered, "Why are you carrying these things with you?"
Qi Ling explained, "These are the things I used when I first entered the realm of self-cultivation and went out to practice. Later, when I changed the storage ring, I threw all my things inside and remained untouched."
Mo Fan, "Do you sometimes need to eat?"
Since seeing this person, Mo Fan has never seen him eat or drink anything.
Qi Ling smiled and said, "Naturally, monks also come from ordinary people."
"Then what did you do before?" Mo Fan turned his attention away from the roast pig.
Qi Ling, "I forgot, I'm probably just a mortal."
"Can you forget this? How long did it take?" Mo Fan was dissatisfied.
"It happened more than a thousand years ago, it's normal not to remember."
Mo Fan: ...
Mu Ran asked, "Your Geng this year?"
Qi Ling pinched his fingers, and then replied, "1327."
Mo Fan, "So old..."
Qi Ling: ...
Mo Fan, "It's been less than a year since I was born. Even if he is one year old, you are over a thousand years old. Isn't that the old cow eating young grass?"
Qi Ling was about to laugh out of anger, and dragged the man to bite the other's light-colored lips, "Old cows eat young grass? Huh? This little pill of yours might have been refined thousands of years ago." from."
Mo Fan retorted, "The elixir is the elixir, I am me, I was born not long ago."
Qi Ling was sitting upright, "I heard that newborn babies in the mortal world need to drink milk, so you must not be able to enjoy this wild boar."
Take it away from the fire, and Qi Ling made a gesture to throw it on the ground.
"Hey, don't." Mo Fan rushed over and grabbed the man's hand holding the branch, "I want to eat, maybe I'm older than you, right?"
Qi Ling showed a satisfied expression, "Old cows eat tender grass?"
"I'm an old cow, I'm an old cow." Mo Fan let out a sigh of relief when he saw the boar put on the fire again.
Knowing that the other party might be teasing you, but why not just throw it away? Waiting for Qi Ling to catch another wild boar, clean it up and roast it, it might take another hour. After smelling this fragrance, how could he wait.
Qi Ling has never felt that he is old. At his age, he has already reached the top of his cultivation. He is also an eighth-rank alchemist. Not long ago, he was promoted to ninth rank. It is like the gap between a child and an old man. At his age, a monk is not overly spiritual, even Nascent Soul is rare.
Such a man is actually despised by the old cow who gnaws on the tender grass.
After all this, Mo Fan just lay obediently in Qi Ling's arms, watching Qi Ling add seasonings and roll the prey.
This is a deep mountain and old forest in the mortal world, and it is not easy for people to set foot in it. The ferocious beast retreated under Qi Ling's breath, and there was no living thing for several miles around.
Qi Ling cut off a moderately thick slice of meat with a mouth-watering fairy weapon, and handed it to Mo Fan's mouth. Mo Fan opened his mouth, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The smell of meat is overflowing, what Qi Ling cut for Mo Fan is the most tender leg meat, the meat is delicate, and there is animal fat on it.
"Good time, good time, Qi Ling, your craftsmanship is really good." Mo Fan was full of praise.
The corner of Qi Ling's mouth curled up, and he quietly cut meat for Mo Fan to eat.
"You want to try it too?" Mo Fan took off the blade and put the meat on it, bringing it to Qi Ling's mouth.
Qi Ling gave a "hmm", and turned back while holding Mo Fan's hand, Mo Fan subconsciously bit it.
He lowered his head and rubbed against Mo Fan's tender cheeks, Qi Ling tilted his head, and bit the small half of Mo Fan's exposed flesh, Mo Fan didn't swallow or spit, just sat still.
Qi Ling chuckled, swallowed the small piece of meat, and sucked on Mo Fan's plump lips, "It's delicious."
Mo Fan: ...
[Is this really an old man who has never had a date! ! ! !]
The system said, "Fanfan, you forgot, the protagonist has been in love with you several times."
Mo Fan: ...
[He forgot about the matter between us, why did he remember this.]
system:…
Not to mention how Mo Fan chewed and swallowed the half piece of meat tastelessly, the actions of the two were followed by a meal.
somebody is coming.
Although Mo Fan can't cultivate spiritual energy, his spiritual consciousness is not weak. When Qi Ling sensed someone approaching, Mo Fan also sensed that strange aura.
Qi Ling, "The eighth level of Qi refining. Do you want to drive him away?"
Mo Fan looked excited, "No, this is the first time I've seen someone else, let's see what he's doing here, he doesn't look like a bad guy."
Hearing this, Qi Ling continued with his hand movements. A small middle stage of Qi refining, no threat.
The direction of the man came towards the two, and after about a quarter of an hour, the man finally saw the two by the fire. At the moment Mo Fan is full and resting on someone's lap.
The mellow aroma of barbecue remained in the air, and the remaining meat was put aside, making the onlookers swallow hard.
He has not eaten for half a day.
"Brothers, please excuse me. My servant, He Cheng, is a resident of Qingyun Town. I don't know who you two are?" He Cheng looked embarrassed, but he was very polite. He seemed to be a well-educated person.
Qi Ling restrained the aura on his body, below the state of distraction, he would only think that Qi Ling was a mortal. And Mo Fan has no aura at all, in He Cheng's view, these two are ordinary people.
He is not a person without vigilance. Although the two people are neatly dressed and mortal, it is strange to appear in this deep mountain and old forest, but these two people give He Cheng a harmless feeling. The two of them didn't have any ill intentions towards him, but the boy who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old seemed a little too close to this man.
Mo Fan got up and said troubledly, "We wanted to go through this forest to Qingyun Town, but we didn't expect it to be so big and got lost. We couldn't find the way, so we decided to take a rest here."
"If the two of you don't mind, I can take the two of you out. It's just that Mr. He has something to do now. If the two of you don't mind, can you wait for Mr. He to finish his work before taking the two of you out."
Mo Fan showed a curious expression, "What is it?"
He Cheng sighed slightly, "My father is seriously ill, and there is no medicine in the town. He heard that there are medicinal materials my father needs in this forest, so He wanted to try his luck. But a day passed, and there was no trace of the medicine."
"I don't know what it is, maybe we have seen it before."
"Little brother also understands medicine?"
Mo Fan, "Know a little bit."
He Cheng, "This medicine is called Cordyceps. It is a common medicine, but my father needs hundreds of years of Cordyceps for medicine. He asked all the medicine shops in the town, but none of them had it."
"Hundred-year-old Cordyceps? We seem to have seen it when we passed by, didn't we?" Mo Fan quietly pulled Qi Ling's sleeve and gestured.
Qi Ling nodded helplessly.
He Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where it is? Can the two of you lead me there? I will be grateful this time."
"There's no need to thank you again, it's good that you can take us out."
"He must repay his kindness. The two of you helped me find the medicine I needed. This is my benefactor. I will definitely repay you."
Just as Mo Fan was about to refuse, he rolled his eyes and said, "Can you eat something delicious in your town?"
He Cheng was taken aback for a moment, unable to turn the corner, and asked in doubt, "I don't know what the little brother said is delicious?"
"It's about which restaurants are there, and whether there are famous signature dishes in them."
He Cheng smiled and said, "Of course there are."
"Then if I help you find the Cordyceps, how about you treat me to a few more meals?" Mo Fan slyly said.
The young man's facial features were exquisite, and his eyes shone brightly amidst his agility, He Cheng was taken aback. Seeing this, Qi Ling frowned, turned slightly sideways, and blocked the other party's gaze.
He Cheng came back to his senses and said awkwardly, "Why don't we go look for the Cordyceps now?"
"Wait a minute," Mo Fan poked his head out from behind Qi Ling, "We still haven't finished eating half a wild boar."
"It's because I didn't think carefully, uh..." He Cheng had never begged for food from anyone, and he was hungry, and he didn't know how to say something in his heart.
The author has something to say: Our little Jiuyou is a skyfire, and it is also the second-ranked extraordinary skyfire, so he often gets into trouble inadvertently.
Jiuyou: Aggrieved expression
Mo Fan: What's wrong
Jiuyou: Mom hit me
Mo Fan: Why did he hit you
Jiuyou: He splashed water on me, crying emoji
Mo Fan:? ?
Qi Ling on the side was helpless to the complaining Tianhuo: It burned all my alchemy books
Mo Fan: ...
Three three three three more!
