Ghost daughter-in-law

Chapter 527: Hungry

I was kicked out for peeping on the old man's cooking. At the same time, the old man still yelled at me, "Don't you understand the reason why curiosity killed the cat? Do what you need to do after doing your job well." You don't want to leave here."

As soon as I was threatened by this old man, I immediately killed my curiosity in my heart. After eating, the old man’s face was gloomy. meal.

I know that I should have touched the old man's bottom line this time, but it's just a cooking scene. What's the secret?

This is exactly what I don't understand, and at the same time, I want to know what the old man is doing in the kitchen, but now I don't know the conditions, it's better to obey the old man.

"Since you are so free now, let's change the rules again." After eating, Old Man Mu said with a sullen face.

"What rules do you want to change?" I was a little nervous.

"First, after you cut down a tree, go catch wild game by yourself. If you catch it, it will be your meal. If you don't catch it, you will be hungry!" Old Mu said calmly.

"Ah?" I was shocked, this old man is going to starve me to death!Didn't I just have a strong curiosity and take a peek?Is it necessary to treat me like this?

Yes, I know this is a kind of practice, but can't you give me a chance to breathe?

"Clean up after eating, you know what you should do!" Old Mu stood up after eating, and left without hesitation after saying this to me.

I glanced at the messy desktop and sighed inwardly.I thought to myself, "I finally got used to cutting trees a little bit, but now this old man makes it more difficult for me. It seems that there will be a lot of challenges in the future!"

Old man Mu said that Taoism and the physical body complement each other. Now that I have just started to practice the physical body, I am already tired like this before I have touched Taoism. I don’t know how I will live in the future!

But these days, I have clearly felt that my body is slowly getting stronger.This kind of toughness is not the same as people in the outside world who grow their muscles crazy, it is a kind of restrained enhancement.

After I cleaned up the dining table, I went out. I thought about a lot of things as I walked towards the dead wood forest.According to this speed, it is impossible for me to complete my cultivation in a short period of time, which means that I have to stay here for a long time.

The people outside are attacking the various checkpoints in the Dragon Tomb. I don't know what the situation is now. I hope that Zhang Tiancheng will not die before I go out. I will kill him and avenge Bai Ling.

To be honest, I sometimes feel that the practice task given by the old man Mu is really difficult, but every time it supports me to persevere, it is the things that I can't let go of in my heart.

There are too many things that cannot be let go.

Thinking about it, I have already walked into the dead wood forest. After picking up the axe, I started a new round of logging journey.

When I go down with an axe, the sawdust splashes. I think it took me a few hours to cut through the skin of these trees. Now I can do better than before with one axe. Seeing that I am making rapid progress is the best reward. .

One ax after another, I kept chopping down the top of the tree until after noon before I felled the tree.In the end, I was so tired that I threw away the ax and lay on the ground with my feet up, thinking about the gap between myself and the old man Mu. He can do things with one axe. I didn’t know how many axes I chopped. It took me a whole morning.

During this period of time, I should pack up and go back to have lunch, but the old man Mu has made a rule in his heart. This old man has always said the same thing when he speaks. Now I can only find food by myself.

Where the hell is there to eat in such a ghostly place?

Thinking to myself, I picked up the ax and walked out of the dead wood forest. My thought was, is the ax a weapon anyway?Moreover, the tree that I have cut down for so long does not see any gaps, which shows its extraordinary.

In fact, it’s okay to find food by myself, but I’m afraid that there is nothing in this ghost place.

However, it turned out that I was wrong, and very wrong.As soon as I walked out of the dead wood forest, I saw a group of wild pheasants, and a group of rabbits not far away. They walked leisurely, but there was no grass or anything on the ground. Every time these creatures appeared, they seemed so abrupt and screamed. People can't understand.

Pheasants and rabbits are both herbivores. I am curious how they survive in places where there is no grass.Although there were many questions in my heart, I didn't delve into anything, because the existence of this space itself is an extremely incredible thing.

There is another incredible thing here, what's so strange?

The most important thing at the moment is to fill my stomach first. After looking at the trees all morning, I was already hungry. Seeing so many wild game at this time, my saliva almost flowed out.

But I wasn't impatient, but touched it gently and slowly. These wild animals didn't seem to be afraid of people. As long as I touched them close enough, I could use talisman to easily deal with them.

But sometimes, there is often a big gap between reality and ideals. Just a few steps away from me, those game animals ran away in a panic as if Qiqi had been stimulated by something.

Seeing this, I couldn't sit still and wait for death, so I let go of my feet and chased after them. Since the game ran away vigilantly, I knew that this would be a protracted battle.

But I never thought it would last this long.

I was desperately chasing after a wild pheasant. If I could catch it today, I would have a full meal.But from noon, one chased until the sunset, I kept using talismans, but was swiftly dodged by that pheasant, and finally the soul fire in my body was exhausted.

It was also getting dark, but the pheasant was still running tirelessly, so I didn't understand. Is there any motor installed in the body of this chicken?It can run like this, I almost run out of breath, it has nothing to do.

On this day, I got nothing, and when I returned to the thatched hut, I could only go hungry, but at least there was old man Mu's clear soup waiting for me, which was the only good medicine for my life.

The old man Mu didn't care at all. After drinking the clear soup for me, he went back to the bed and meditated, while I went to take a quick shower and changed into clean clothes.

Although the clothes the old man prepared for me fit well, they were all ancient clothes, which made me look like an ancient woodcutter every day.

After taking a bath, most of my fatigue from the day had disappeared, and I went back to bed and fell asleep.On such a day, when I go to bed at night, I really don't have the energy to dream anymore.

Chapter 528: Self-sufficiency

I had an extremely comfortable sleep. When I was a child, my grandfather always told me to go to bed when I was hungry, and not hungry when I fell asleep. The stinky old man really didn't lie to me.

One night, I was sleeping soundly, and I didn't feel hungry at all, but now that I woke up, my stomach started growling immediately.The feeling of hunger came like a tide, I swallowed and got out of bed.

If in the past at this time, the old man Mu had already prepared a hearty breakfast for me to eat when I got up, and I would cut down the tree when I was full, now I really miss those days!

When I opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, the wooden old man was not in the thatched hut, and the dining table was empty. I don't know where the old man went.

Looking at the dining table and sighing, I walked out of the thatched hut and started a new round of tree-cutting journey.This time, I endured hunger and cut down trees a little faster, because I wanted to leave a lot of time to catch wild game.

After all, it’s okay to be hungry for a meal or two. If I continue to be hungry, I won’t have the strength to chop wood. This kind of high-intensity physical energy consumption is absolutely impossible without energy supplements.

So, in my desperation, before noon, I tried my best to cut down a tree, and then went to find the game.Still the same location, same scene.

Those wild animals seem to have been reset, including the quantity, movement and position, which are exactly the same as yesterday.However, I am so hungry and thirsty that I can no longer care about these external factors. I just want to grab a wild game, whether it is a pheasant or a rabbit, and I will not refuse it.

This time, I learned how to behave, and I was absolutely defeated by simply competing with these wild animals in speed and physical strength, but I have one thing they don't have, that is, talisman.

Until now, it is hard for me to imagine that I have so many talismans that I have run out of them, and I have not been able to subdue mere wild game.

Is it because the wild game here is too bad?Or are you too picky?This is a question worthy of further study.

I still choose to approach those game slowly, but while approaching, I first use talisman to slowly surround those game. This time, my target is still those wild pheasants.

The forbidden magic talisman covered from the air, and the earth talisman attacked from the ground. It was a foolproof time, but for some reason, those pheasants seemed to have understood my intentions, and they ran away before I finished the arrangement.

"Isn't it?" I groaned secretly in my heart, but when the pheasant ran away, I also chased after it.

The plans at the beginning were all futile, but in the end it turned into a competition of physical strength.In the process of chasing, I found that the speed of my talisman attack was too slow, and I couldn't keep up with the speed of the wild pheasant. Let me ask, if this is a regular battle, and the opponent happens to be good at speed, then my talisman Isn't the technique useless at all?

Among the Taoists in Kyushu, there are countless people whose speed has reached the level of a pheasant. At this moment, I really feel a sense of frustration.

I really can't even handle a wild pheasant from afar.

Fortunately, I now have an opportunity to change the status quo.Thinking of this, I changed my mentality again. In the process of chasing the pheasant, I could not only strengthen my body and speed, but also improve my proficiency in using talismans.

I think this is the real purpose of old man Mu. On the surface, he seems to be embarrassing me, but in fact he is teaching me how to practice. Thinking of this, I don't have so much resistance to old man Mu.

In the process of chasing pheasants, he was not so impatient.Instead, enjoy the process and think about how to use your talisman faster.
