After settling the matter with the locals, the four of them set off again.
Zhuge Chanjuan held a grudge, blaming Nanfeng for not letting her ride Ba Ye before, so she didn't want to ride with him anymore and stayed on Di Ting's back, unwilling to get off.
She thought that Nanfeng didn't mind either, but the fat man stopped and dragged her down if she refused, "I am a particular person. My father-in-law carried his daughter-in-law across the river. I will not do anything that is thankless for my efforts." .”
"If I call you daddy, do you dare to agree?" Nanfeng naturally knew that the fat man was taking advantage of him.
The fat man didn't answer, and pulled down with a smile. Zhuge Chanjuan couldn't resist, so he could only come down and ride Ba Ye with Nanfeng. She felt unhappy and didn't speak. Nanfeng didn't feel happy either, and didn't speak either. They just stood there frozen. .
Through yesterday's and today's observations, Nanfeng discovered an interesting pattern, that is, aliens have their own territory. The shallower the Taoism, the smaller the territory they have. The deeper the Dao Xing, the larger the territory they have. The territory occupied by the third level red energy is usually about a hundred miles, the territory occupied by the third level blue energy can reach two hundred miles, and the territory occupied by the purple energy aliens is more than five hundred miles.
But the size of the territory is not so absolute. The vegetarian aliens don’t value the territory very much. Sometimes there are several within a hundred miles, but the meat-eating aliens are particularly important to the territory and they will not allow other meat eaters. Aliens, including the same kind, invade the area it occupies, except for the opposite sex.
There are more than 160 places to go, and we searched five places yesterday. However, we cannot infer the time required for this trip based on yesterday's search speed, because in addition to looking for and verifying many clues, we also have to visit dozens of purple people on the way. Aliens, in addition, need to conduct secret visits to those who stayed after the third trial. It is roughly estimated that after this cycle, there are only a few days left in three months.
At noon, the four people arrived at the outskirts of Kunlun. This place is located two hundred miles southeast of the cave where the second tortoise shell is located. It is a valley full of bamboos. The person who lives here is Hercules. This Hercules is not the other Hercules. This is This Hercules is not a heavenly general, but a black bear that has become a spirit. Hercules is both its name and its nickname.
When the four people arrived, Hercules was sweeping the yard. When he saw the four people falling from the sky, he hurriedly threw away his broom and came over.
This man was tall, half a head taller than the fat man. Even in the cold winter, he only wore deerskin shorts and a tiger skin waistcoat, and his whole body was covered with black hair.
"The real person is coming on a crane, and the humble house is filled with flowers." Hercules clasped his fists at Nanfeng, and then at Fatty and others.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Nanfeng smiled a little awkwardly. This black bear was a rough guy. He didn't know much about writing but he insisted on saying something elegant. Little did he know that Jiahe and Hejia were both positive and negative, and their meanings were completely different.
"Dear guests, please sit inside the room." Hercules bent down to invite the guests.
"Please." Nanfeng turned sideways and raised his hand.
The house is made of bamboo and has five rooms. Based on the fresh stubble of the bamboo, it is not difficult to find that it was built temporarily. There is no partition between the five rooms. From outside the door, you can see a long stone table inside the house. The stone table is placed horizontally from east to west, five feet wide and three feet long. If you look carefully, you can see that it is made up of five stone tables.
At this time, the long stone table was filled with all kinds of food, including various fruits, braised bacon, and pasta snacks. In addition, there were some ginseng, polygonatum, matsutake and other supplements.
Hercules invited the four people into the bamboo house and asked them to sit down. He also moved a wine jar to the corner and poured wine for the four people. "You're welcome, my dear. These are all for your enjoyment."
"Ashamed, ashamed." Nanfeng raised his hand, "I'm ashamed to be so kind. I just don't know. How did you know we would be coming in the near future?"
"The master's spells are very powerful, both in the world and on the earth. There are about twenty of us, haven't you traveled all over the place in the blink of an eye?" Black Bear Spirit put down the wine jar and entertained us warmly, "Master, please have a feast."
Nanfeng didn't move, but Fatty did. There was a lot of food on the table that suited his appetite.
Zhuge Chanjuan also moved and ate a little of each, with the intention of checking for poisons. Nanfeng was not afraid of hundreds of poisons, but Fatty and Changle were in trouble, so it was better to be careful.
Seeing that Nanfeng and Changle didn't move their chopsticks, Black Bear Spirit urged him again. Changle couldn't bear to refuse, so he also took a noodle cake to eat.
Nanfeng originally wanted to talk to the black bear spirit about some serious matters, but the black bear spirit just urged them to eat and drink, and brought food from a distance over, lest they could not reach it.
Nanfeng didn't want to eat it, but he couldn't bear the kindness of the black bear spirit, so he had to grab a few dates in his hand, "It's the coldest month of winter, these things are hard to find."
"The real person is too modest. They are all junk. They are just talking about superficial things." The black bear spirit smiled humbly.
After Black Bear finished speaking, Nanfeng and Changle frowned at the same time. Although this guy was very enthusiastic, his words were really not very precise, so they could only endure the awkwardness and just listen.
Seeing Nan Feng frowning, the black bear spirit hurried to the east side and brought the plate of ginseng over, "Please enjoy it, real person."
"Hercules..."
Before Nanfeng could finish speaking, the black bear spirit waved his hands in fear, "Don't dare, don't dare, you are the real god, I am a fake god, just call me Lao Hei."
"Brother Hei, we are pressed for time. We have to rush to other places later. Let's get back to business. May I ask you this..."
"My lord, please wait a minute." The black bear spirit turned and ran to the north of the stone table. He took two pieces of tissue paper from the wooden table near the north wall and came back. He handed them to the south wind with both hands, "My lord, please look, my whole life is written here. No need to ask, just take a look."
Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and glanced at the black bear spirit. He reached out and took the two pieces of silk paper. He lowered his head and read it. He saw densely packed small characters written on the paper. At this time, there were two kinds of writing in China. Regular script was mostly used in the north, and running script was mostly used in the south. , the silk paper handed over by the black bear spirit is in small regular script. This font is usually written by scholars from the north, and it is naturally impossible for such a big and rough font to be written.
The black bear spirit's life is recorded in detail on the silk paper. In addition to its cultivation and abilities, there are also a lot of stories about its deeds of doing good and eliminating evil, helping others, self-discipline and self-cultivation, and saving lives and healing the wounded.
After reading the two pieces of paper, Nanfeng tilted his head and looked at the black bear spirit who was serving the venison to the fat man. Although this guy was promoted to the mountain three years ago, he is not familiar with the world. This is not the imperial court selecting officials and entertaining them. Neither performance nor performance are of much use, the key lies in cultivation ability and moral character.
The black bear spirit was serving the fat man to eat and drink, and didn't notice Nan Feng looking at it. Nanfeng coughed twice, and then the black bear spirit raised his head to look at him. Just as Nanfeng was about to speak, the black bear spirit turned and ran to the corner, bringing a water bottle over, "Master, this is snow water from Tianshan Mountains. It's very delicious. I got it on purpose. You can drink some to calm down your shock." "
Nanfeng could only thank him. Before, he thought the black bear spirit was just talking nonsense, but only now did he realize that this guy was not trying to be elegant, but that he simply couldn't speak human words well.
The black bear spirit took the jug, poured a glass of water for Nanfeng, and handed it over with both hands.
Seeing that it was so humble and respectful, Nanfeng was in trouble. Although this man was strong, he had no martial arts skills. "Punching a tiger in the South Mountains and kicking a dragon in the North Sea" were purely words put on its face by the scholar. , let alone punching and kicking, I'm afraid it has never even been to the Nanshan and Beihai.
The black bear kept paying homage to the south wind when it didn't pick it up. It wasn't until the south wind picked up that it ran off to get some candied dates for Zhuge Chanjuan.
Nanfeng took the water cup in his hand and tilted his head to look at Changle. Changle was also frowning. He naturally knew what Nanfeng was thinking. He said that evil punches would not hit smiling faces. The black bear spirit was so respectful, how could he refuse it next? .
The four of them just ate some dry food last night and did not have breakfast today. Zhuge Chanjuan and Fatty went to help the local turtles again before and were busy for a long time. They were all hungry this time. The food prepared by the black bear spirit was complete. The two of them feasted on it and had a good meal. Have fun.
Nanfeng was worried that it would not end well later, so he touched Zhuge Chanjuan with his foot.
Zhuge Chanjuan had been angry with Nanfeng because of the rustic incident. When she saw him touching her, she mistakenly thought that he was trying to please him and softened her. She just tilted her head and glanced at him, then turned back and pinched some candied dates to eat.
Bears are all interested in honey. When Zhuge Chanjuan ate the candied dates, the black bear spirit watched from the side. Although this guy was tall and thick, his eyes were not big. A pair of small round eyes moved left and right as Zhuge Chanjuan pinched the candied dates.
"It's not good to eat too many candied dates." Nanfeng whispered.
There were not many candied dates, and Nanfeng's original intention was to let Zhuge Chanjuan leave some for others, but Zhuge Chanjuan thought he was trying to please and begged for peace, so she tilted her head to the side and continued to eat some.
The fat man ate quickly, burping and thanking the black bear spirit, "Brother Hei, thank you for your hospitality."
The black bear spirit replied hastily, "We are all friends, you're welcome."
The fat man nodded, reached for the two pieces of tissue paper Nanfeng put on the table, and read them one by one. He nodded from time to time, "He is simple by nature, has good conduct, and hates evil as much as he hates evil. Well, this person is not bad."
"Not bad." Nanfeng could only respond.
After being praised by the two, the black bear spirit grinned happily.
After looking at it, the fat man put down the paper and waved to the black bear spirit, "Let's go out and try your kung fu."
The black bear spirit used copper sticks. After hearing what the fat man said, he took the copper stick standing next to the door and followed him out.
Ding, clang, plop. Hey ah ha hoo, plop.
"Don't have any scruples, use whatever skills you have." Fatty encouraged.
Even with encouragement, the black bear spirit still pounced.
In the end, the fat man couldn't bear to take action anymore, "Okay, let's not fight anymore. You are a good person, but your skills are not good enough."
"I still have Jue..."
"Okay, okay, don't give up. If I hit your house again, I'll be dead." The fat man turned around and came back.
The black bear spirit followed behind in frustration.
"You've almost eaten, let's go?" the fat man said.
The three of them left their seats and stood up.
Seeing that the four of them were about to leave, the black bear spirit was very anxious, "Master, are you leaving now?"
"Do you have anything else to do?" the fat man asked.
The black bear spirit had a sad face, looking at the leftovers on the table, feeling sad and heartbroken, but he hesitated to speak.
Seeing its expression, Nanfeng relented. Black bears always want cats in winter. It's really not easy for it to run around and build such a big table in such a cold weather. You can't eat it in vain.
"On the eighth day of the first lunar month, go to Yunhua Mountain and ask for advice." Nanfeng handed a piece of jade to the black bear spirit.
The black bear spirit happily took it and bowed repeatedly, thanking him endlessly.
The fat man pulled Nan Feng out and said, "It's not good at kung fu."
Nanfeng didn't answer, whistled to summon Master Ba to come down, said goodbye to the black bear spirit and took off into the sky.
Zhuge Chanjuan noticed that Nanfeng hadn't eaten much before. After flying safely, she took out two snacks from her sleeve and handed them to him, "The black bear's military power is mediocre. If you send it into battle, you probably won't have a good chance of winning."
"I'm not planning to send it into battle." Nanfeng shook his head.
"Then why did you give it the jade talisman?" Zhuge Chanjuan was confused.
"You guys are eating and taking things, so why should I leave just like that? Let's just watch the fun..."
