Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Zhuge Qing looked at the dishes and chopsticks in front of him with a nostalgic look on his face.

It is generally acknowledged that Zhou Li's cooking is delicious. Anyone who has tasted Zhou Li's cooking skills will think that this guy will definitely be able to achieve something if he becomes a chef. When Sun Defeng wanted to open a restaurant in Hangzhou, he specifically asked Zhou Li if he could share his secret recipe.

Zhou Li told him that the biggest secret was to cook some poppy shells into a pot of soup and then surrender himself to the authorities.

Perhaps only Zhuge Qing knew that Zhou Li’s secret recipe for cooking was his love for his sister.

The relationship between the siblings is much deeper than people imagine. It can be said that they have regarded each other as their only treasure, an existence that cannot be surpassed or replaced. The old Taoist priest once commented on Zhou Li, saying that it is difficult for him to be entangled by inner demons in his life, but things related to Taoyao will cause him to have the hidden danger of inner demons.

But that's fine.

Many immortal cultivators believe that being alone and free of worries is the most perfect immortal cultivator. They think such an immortal cultivator will not have inner demons. Without worries, ties, or so-called emotions, such a person can cultivate without distraction and achieve immortality.

However, the old Taoist thought that these were all stupid remarks.

If cultivating immortals means cutting off the seven emotions and six desires and not caring about the mundane world, then why does the word "immortal" refer to people and mountains? If those who have attained the Tao and become immortals really have no seven emotions and six desires, then what is wrong with those immortals who sacrificed themselves for humanity?

Even without the ancient gods, the immortal path is not as upright as it seems. In fact, the vastness of the immortal path is a terrifying existence for humans. Many people saw the essence of the immortal path they insisted on in advance in the seventh realm, and then they went crazy.

They found that the existence at the end of the immortal path was so boundless. The "immortality" they had cultivated for their entire lives was just the most insignificant part of the vast universe. At this moment, the more "untainted by the mundane world" and "cut off lust" the monks were, the more they would be defeated by themselves. Because they only had the desire and pursuit of cultivation left, and lost other factors as human beings.

Therefore, the old Taoist priest believes that if people who practice Taoism want to truly achieve Taoism and become immortals, the most important thing is that they must be "human". Only human beings can have concerns, and with concerns and emotions, they have an anchor point, so that they will not get lost in the word "cultivation".

The old Taoist priest told Zhuge Qing that Zhou Li's rapid cultivation speed was not just the result of one person's efforts. In fact, everything Zhou Li cherished made his path to immortality smooth. Zhuge Qing used to be the opposite of Zhou Li, a cultivator who was free from all worldly concerns. She felt that the anchor mentioned by the old Taoist priest was not entirely correct. Only by losing the anchor could one sail faster.

Now, after Zhuge Qing realized that she had something on her mind, her cultivation progress did not increase, but it became more solid. She suddenly realized that the old master might be right.

Everyone needs an anchor point.

Zhou Li and Tao Yao are each other's anchors, so Zhou Li's progress in cultivation is astonishingly fast, and Tao Yao...

Zhuge Qing felt a little surprised. She looked at Tao Yao and tried hard to recall Tao Yao's identity.

Sister Taoyao.

Zhou Li's sister.

Looking at Zhuge Qing and then at Zhou Taoyao, a thought involuntarily emerged in Jiang Li's mind.

Can Tao Yao, an ordinary person who is neither a spiritual practitioner nor an immortal cultivator, accept that his younger brother is with the Taoist priest?

Can this be knocked?

It seems to be possible.

Thinking of the daily interactions between Zhou Li and Zhuge Qing, Jiang Li nodded in her heart. She still felt that the relationship between Zhou Li and Zhuge Qing was very wonderful, the kind of feeling that they both knew each other and were used to each other.

A very comfortable relationship.

Soon, Zhou Li and Tao Yao skillfully prepared eight dishes and one soup in the kitchen. These were eight formal dishes, and each one was very carefully prepared. Soon, they started eating at a wooden round table that Zhou Li had built himself.

"Next, my mouth is going to start a Hallelujah whirlwind."

Taking a deep breath, Tang Wan issued a merciless ultimatum, "Everyone, I love to eat."

Looking up at Tang Wan, who was hanging from the ceiling like a caterpillar, Xu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "How do you eat?"

There must be a reason why Tang Wan was hung up. Even if Zhou Li suddenly jumped up and beat her up, it would only be a boomerang from Tang Wan's previous attack.

It is reasonable to eat secretly, there is nothing wrong with eating a little.

What does it mean that you chewed and ate a rolling pin?

Tao Yao also realized that Tang Wan's achievements in cultivating immortals were a set of teeth so good that they were frightening, and a stomach that could even digest Kun.

How can one cultivate immortality by cultivating the stomach first?
Of course, there was another consideration for hanging Tang Guan up.

Zhou Li was afraid that after Tang Wan finished her meal, everyone would have to eat at the table.

After a while, under Taoyao's persuasion, Zhou Li put Tang Wan down. Tang Wan said that adults are magnanimous, and then she began to be magnanimous.

Eat a lot.

The old Taoist priest had considered trying to suppress Tang Wan's excessive appetite. According to the old Taoist priest, even if Pixiu and Taotie gave birth to a child, they would not have half the appetite of Tang Wan. He suspected that this had something to do with Tang Wan's Niang Niquan. Then, Tang Wan tried dieting, intermittent fasting, the 10 plus 8 eating method, and weight loss.

Dieting: Eating without restraint.

Light fasting: bite the food lightly to allow the food to fully enjoy its flavor in your mouth.

Ten plus eight eating method: eat eight meals within ten hours.

Eat small meals frequently: Eat small amounts, one meal per minute.

To lose weight: Just eat the fat food.

Finally, the old Taoist priest announced that he was going to rebuild the road to immortality. No matter whether it could be done or not, at least there was hope. After all, killing the ancient god was easier than curbing Tang Wan's appetite.

Everyone has now given up on the option of reducing Tang Wan's appetite. Although she can eat nine meals a day and accepts everything, she will not get sick or even get fat, so everyone is too lazy to care about her.

No, we have to take care of it.

No matter that she could really eat enough for sixteen people by herself.

At the dinner table, Taoyao, the parent, was the first to abandon her habit of not talking while eating and sleeping, and asked Shangguan Hong and Yu Sui how they had been doing in the past few years. After learning that Shangguan Hong had met a very good teacher, Taoyao smiled happily. Yu Sui avoided the main point and talked about many interesting things about Qingyun Temple and the old nun, and also talked about her feelings when she found Zhou Li.

The only thing she didn't mention was the fights between her and the Five Spirits over the years.

This is also normal. For the students in the Ion Class, the person they fear and respect the most is the old Heavenly Master, so the elder they love the most must be Tao Yao, no one else.

She is gentle, kind, sensible, a good cook, treats everyone equally and is very good at comforting people.

Although everyone doesn't understand why such a sister can have a brother as amazing as Zhou Li, everyone thinks that Sister Tao Yao is their elder in Beiliang and is as trustworthy as the old scholar. In the eyes of Yu Sui and Shangguan Hong, children without family, Tao Yao is one of their relatives. In the eyes of Tang Wan, who has family but more enemies, Tao Yao is her biological mother without blood relationship.

She really went to the parent-teacher meeting and got scolded.

Although she would also lecture Tang Wan after she came back.

Soon, the table of dishes was completely eaten up by everyone and Tang Wan. Shangguan Hong ate a lot this time. When she saw Tao Yao, the girl who regarded Beiliang as her hometown couldn't help herself. She missed this small town all the time when she left Beiliang, and now, she really felt like she was back home.

Nadutong has not been open for business for a long time, but that's not a problem. After all, Beiliang now has extremely warm-hearted high-end combat power like Qianhu. It can be said that he can handle most of the public security and monster problems by himself.

If you really encounter a tricky situation, it will be the time when Dark Discrimination Batman appears.

Qianhu needs to abide by the law when taking action. Do you think Batman will use it?

Therefore, many rooms in Nadutong were empty, and it can be said that the entire second floor was empty. Zhou Li had thought about buying another house for Taoyao to live in before, because he was afraid that it would be too troublesome for Taoyao to manage Nadutong alone. But Taoyao felt that she was still used to living in the old house, so she did not leave.

Now, everything is bustling. A future sword immortal, a spirit-serving goddess, a nine-life black cat, a shape-shifting robot girl, and a bunch of reincarnated Pixiu.

How come you can eat so much?

Zhou Li looked at the rice jar and sighed with some emotion, "Fuck your uncle Tang Wan."

Everyone has a share of the food, so Tang Wan naturally won't finish it all by herself. But she can eat a bucket of rice by herself. Note that this bucket is a water bucket.

"Hey, eat some of your rice and it's urgent."

Tang Wan squatted in front of the stove, eating the rice crust and said, "I didn't eat much."

There is nothing wrong with what Tang Wan said.

If Tang Wan ate freely, she could finish a whole jar of rice by herself. She only ate one-third, which was quite restrained. Before Tang Wan awakened the blood of the Pixiu, she could finish all the tribute fruit of the mountain god by herself. That thing was as big as compressed biscuits. Ordinary people would have a stomachache after eating two.

"By the way, what are you doing so late at night?"

Looking at the moon in the sky, Tang Wan asked curiously, "Stealing a chicken or stealing a dog?"

"You have a rather deep stereotype of me."

Zhou Li glanced at Tang Wan unhappily, then touched his chin and asked, "Don't you think there's something wrong?"

"question?"

Tang Wan was stunned and approached Zhou Li, "You can't poop?"

"you're disgusting."

Zhou Li pushed Tang Wan aside with disdain, and then said, "Don't you think there's something wrong with Beiliang?"

"question."

Tang Wan scratched his head. "It's already problematic enough that Beiliang has the Imperial Academy, a place where gods and men gather. Are the other problems minor?"

Zhou Li was silent.

Beiliang is wrong.

This was something he suddenly realized, or rather, it was a question he had never thought about before.

"Tang Wan, do you remember who was the last outsider to live in Beiliang for a long time?"

Zhou Li suddenly asked a somewhat strange question.

"How would I know?"

Tang Wan was stunned for a moment and then said, "You asked me how many secret passages there are in the Imperial College dormitory. I know. How can I answer you when you ask this population question?"

"Too."

Zhou Li sighed, "You asked me how to survey the number of voles. You almost made the old scholar angry by writing a questionnaire. It's useless for me to ask you."

"what is it now."

Tang Wan openly admitted that she had some intellectual problems, and then asked, "Who do you want to find?"

She didn't ask Zhou Li what he had discovered, nor did she question whether Zhou Li was mentally ill and had such an idea suddenly.

How can I figure out something that even Zhou Li can't figure out?

Just work honestly and you'll be done.

"There is."

Zhou Li suddenly thought of someone, someone who could definitely give him an answer.

dong dong dong.

Li Kuan has a very regular schedule.

Get up at 6:30, wash and eat, go to the county government to work at 7:00, take a lunch break at 12:00, continue working at 1:00, get off work at 5:00, eat at home, hand in homework after meal, chat after handing in homework, and go to sleep.

It is very stable, with almost no changes. It is a peaceful life that seems no different from that of a dead person to outsiders.

But this is a great blessing for Li Kuan.

Therefore, his attitude towards Zhou Li was very good, so good that it was a little strange. Just like Li Kuan, who was disturbed by Zhou Li in the middle of the night, still smiled, invited the other party into the house, and then made tea for the two of them, which made Zhou Li feel a little embarrassed.

"I."

Facing Zhou Li's question, Li Kuan gave Zhou Li a straightforward answer: "The last person who moved to Beiliang was me."

Tang Wan was shocked.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Zhou Li's heart was still stirred after learning the answer.

Yes.

Beiliang hasn't had any "outside population" for a long, long time.

This doesn't make sense.

Population mobility is a normal phenomenon for any city. Even in the relatively closed Ming Dynasty, there would be normal population migration.

But the problem is that Beiliang had no concept of population mobility seven years ago.

"Not only are there no outsiders, but our people haven't left either."

After a pause, Li Kuan comforted Zhou Li: "It may also be because Beiliang has a good reputation recently and everyone is reluctant to leave."

Zhou Li didn't say much to Li Kuan about this matter. He just nodded, exchanged a few words with him, expressed his apologies, and then left with Tang Wan.

On the way, Tang Wan seemed to understand something and began to think.

"I'm going to the Imperial College tomorrow."

After a long silence, Zhou Kai said, "I have something I want to ask the old scholar."

Tang Wan nodded. She suddenly realized something was wrong and understood why Zhou Li was planning to go to the Imperial Academy.

Taixue seems to be the only place with "outside population".

Therefore, students rarely leave the Imperial College.

This is not right.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Zhou Li looked at the dark street and had a guess in his mind. But this guess was a little far-fetched, or rather, he didn't believe that anyone could do this.

Even gods can't do it.

but·····
Zhou Li's mind flashed with the words that the old Taoist priest had said to him.

There are always things that you have never touched before. (End of this chapter)
