Chapter 58: Wilderness 8
After yesterday's incident, I guess no one will come to attack tonight.
"By the way, are there any chili?" Nan Xiang asked while flipping through the barbecue.
Zhang Cheng reached out and touched his pocket. He brought enough seasonings and other things, and almost every common spice was filled with a can. The problem was that there seemed to be too many jars in his dimensional pocket. He took out the first one, which was an oil tank. He took out the second one, which was a wine tank. He took out the third one and took out the chili powder - a whole can.
Normally, chili powder should be put into a seasoning bottle made of glass or stainless steel. However, Zhang Cheng carried these seasonings mainly for camping in another world. It would be a bit shocking to take out a glass bottle or stainless steel bottle and be seen by someone. After all, in that world, stainless steel and glass are both jewelry-grade materials.
"What are in those two jars?"
"This is oil," said Zhang Cheng. "It should be lard." Or what vegetable oil is? He is not sure of it. Anyway, he is not used to eat it, mainly for cooking. "As for this is wine."
"Wine?" Nanxiang took the wine jar, opened the lid and took a look. "What kind of wine is this? Can I drink it?"
This was bought casually in Kunwu City, and it was considered one of the supplies along the way. But to be honest, from the perspective of modern people, this wine is definitely bad. Not to mention the others, it first looks very unsightly - this wine is not as clear and transparent as the wines that can be seen everywhere on the earth's market. Its wine is very turbid. In fact, in that kind of barbaric society, let alone these wines sold randomly on the market. Even the wine used by the emperor in sacrifices is turbid, and thatch is needed to filter the wine. Of course, even if it is filtered with thatch, the wine is still very muddy according to the standards of the earthlings.
"Yes." Zhang Cheng didn't agree with this kind of wine... Well, he doesn't drink much anyway. Exception is for the banquet - he has to drink it during the banquet. Otherwise, you are insulting the host and other guests.
Because there was no cup, Nan Xiang took a big sip at the jar.
"Just a little bit of wine," she commented.
"Technical question." Zhang Cheng replied. The wine actually has no technical content, just like the famous monkey wine. Not to mention humans, animals can brew wine inadvertently. But before the development of distillation technology, the wine brewed by humans using the original method was actually like this. The alcohol content was not high, but the sugar content was higher than expected.
He ate two barbecue and was thinking about Guicheng in his mind. In a few days, he would face the mysterious "Donghai Jun". In the past few days, he searched the Internet, but found no clues about Donghai Jun. Little Bear refused to disclose it, which made Zhang Cheng feel very confused. And I'm afraid there is a time traveler in Guicheng intervening - from Lao Liu's example, it can be seen that this is not worth being surprised. The only question is what the time traveler is in this city.
In addition, Zhang Cheng was also very curious about how Xiao Xiong wanted to convince the Donghai Jun. The little bear was mysterious and obviously wanted to keep it secret. But theoretically, Zhang Cheng did not think that Xiao Xiong could take advantage of the Donghai Jun's participation in the war. After all, the risk of the gods' war is very high, and the great spirit is far more fragile than the gods. Even if you only lose one clone, it would be a huge loss.
Losing a clone sounds like no big deal, but Zhang Cheng knew that Bashe had destroyed a clone by Zhang Cheng, so he gritted his teeth and vowed to take revenge on Zhang Cheng. If Er Fu lost a clone, there is a high probability that he would fall into a long period of dormancy to recover. The little bear also said before that if it lost a clone in the divine war, it would inevitably fall into a deep sleep. From this, it can be seen that if a powerful clone is lost, it would be a huge loss for the gods or the great spirits. It is just that some rich gods can lose money and great power.
He didn't eat much. In fact, even if he sprinkled with various spices (including chili), the meat of this wild animal cannot be said to be delicious. Things with too low fat content are really not suitable for barbecue... When he came to his senses, he realized that Nanxiang had drunk a lot of wine.
The jar has basically been drunk. Although this is a turbid wine with a low alcohol content, it contains alcohol after all. Nan Xiang sat in front of the bonfire, shaking the empty wine jar, her face flushed and drunkenness was visible.
"You...drinked too much," said Zhang Cheng.
"Tsk, stingy! It's just this kind of can!" Nan Xiang shook the can in her hand and threw it aside. This is an ancient pottery jar... It is rare in modern cities. And it doesn't look strong, because when Nan Xiang threw it like this, it probably knocked a stone or something, and it broke into two petals.
"Hey, I said, you obviously have such great ability, why don't you serve the country?"
"What are the benefits of serving the country?" Zhang Cheng shrugged. Although talking to a drunk man is actually stupid, there are no outsiders anyway, so it doesn't matter if you talk.
"Benefits? You don't say anything like a pure practitioner?"
"I am not a practitioner... Well, I don't know if it counts." Zhang Cheng closed his eyes and saw his own panel. He was only a little bit away from level 14. He could also gain experience when he killed people on earth, but it was very low. After all, the people on earth were all miscellaneous soldiers according to the standards of another world. This seems to be a kind of practice... called Shura Tao?
"Don't you think your power is very useful? You should master special cultivation methods and also the magic weapons inherited by the master. Think about it, if these things can be analyzed and promoted, think about how much changes you can cause to the world."
"What can I do?"
"Uh...you can...why do you always pursue yourself? You're too selfish."
"Because everyone is different. Some people want to establish a new order to benefit everyone who desires dignity; some people hope to live a different life; and some people hope to change themselves. Different people have different ideals. My ideals are very realistic and simple: I want to live a peaceful life, just like ordinary people." Of course, it is better than ordinary people.
"Tsk, it's obviously a little boy, but he's still pretending to be deep here." Nan Xiang laughed.
"I...whether is Xiao Zhengtai?" Zhang Cheng was a little angry. After all, his age is not younger than the other party. He guessed that Nan Xiang would be in her twenties and would never be older than the real him.
"Hehe... still pretend?" Nan Xiang really didn't care after drinking. "Who are you lying to? Do you know, sister, I've seen that kind of special disease. Whether it's that aging, dwarf or other, the appearance of such patients is very different from their actual age. But they all have one common characteristic," she pointed to her eyes. "That's the eyes. I've seen a person who doesn't know whether it's dwarfism or frostbite. He is obviously in his forties or fifties, and his appearance is no different from a teenager. But you just need to look at his eyes and you will know that the vicissitudes in the eyes are not something that a teenager can have." She pointed to Zhang Cheng. "But you don't. Although I heard that immortals or practitioners have "childish faces", I'm sure you are not. So I know," she came up. "You should call me sister!"
Zhang Cheng didn't know the specific age of this body. He was overestimated as a college student, and underestimated as a junior high school student. His actual age was actually in his twenties, and it seemed to be Nan Xiang. His body and actual age were not much different. Perhaps because of this, he couldn't see it.
He wanted to push Nan Xiang away, but unexpectedly, the other party not only refused to retreat, but continued to pester him.
"Come on, tell my sister, how do you practice?"
Woo... the body's strength is only 9, and it seems to be at a disadvantage. Because Zhang Cheng found that he couldn't push the drunkard away. Fortunately, the other party was not the kind of lingering and beating, just leaning on him. The two of them leaned against each other and roasted on fire.
"You are an ordinary person, but suddenly you are taught the methods of cultivation..." She looked at Zhang Cheng lazily and asked. "Is it right?" Zhang Cheng was silent, so she laughed. "I guessed it right, right? But this test should be very difficult."
"The boundary between life and death." Zhang Cheng said. When he remembered how he became a wizard, what else could he say besides feeling emotion?
"The boundary between life and death... If you don't succeed, you will die? This is almost the same as everyone estimates."
"Ah? Probably?"
"Don't you know how popular the discussions on magic and superpowers on the Internet are now? Especially the great wizard of the United States called Redstone." Nan Xiang said. "He believes that all supernatural abilities require some special key factors, one of which is death. According to statistics from the survey department, almost all schools, whether ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, have cross-domain life and death methods. Some people believe that the reason why these cultivation methods cannot be promoted is that they must select sufficient talented descendants instead of randomly teaching disciples is mainly because of this. They must cross-domain life and death lines. If they lack talent, it is equivalent to suicide."
"Doesn't Taoism have this kind of tune? Buddhism should be, too." Zhang Cheng couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Yes, you have heard of the sayings of 'close the dead' and 'cultivating zen'. This is the test of life and death. Seeking humanity's own breakthrough in life and death." She said lazily. "Is there any wine?"
"No more." Zhang Cheng replied. Actually, there is still, but he doesn't want to take it out. This woman is not good at drinking and will get drunk.
"Stingy!" Nan Xiang stretched out her index finger and scraped Zhang Cheng's nose. "I know you are lying, but my sister forgives you!"
She let out a long sigh at the night sky. "You look uncomfortable, as if I will eat you?"
If you eat a human demon, then the matter will be really easy to solve. Zhang Cheng thought. But his ears were itchy, and it was Nan Xiang exhaling against his ears.
"What are you doing?" He wanted to break free and get up and leave. Anyway, it was time to go back to Void Castle to sleep. Since the first phase of the renovation of Void Castle was completed, Zhang Cheng has been spending the night in Void Castle comfortably. With such a good card, he has no reason to avenge himself anymore. But unfortunately, he found that if he didn't use external forces, he could not get rid of this woman.
Madan, Power 9 is really at a disadvantage.
"Xiao Zhengta, I haven't touched a woman... right?" Nan Xiang became more and more arrogant and actually opened the zipper of her clothes halfway.
Chapter completed!
