Ningshuang Sect was over. All the elders in the sect died at the hands of Gu Zheng. As for the disciples in the sect who dared to resist, they were all killed by the elders of the other six sects.
Gu Zheng did not wait to see how many people in the Ningshuang Sect would die. After he killed the elders, he set off to return to Pinxianju.
When Gu Zheng left Pin Xianju, Xiong San had not yet come out of the fairyland. When Gu Zheng returned, he had already killed Ye Meng, with his head lowered like a child who had done something wrong.
After briefly talking to Master Yunqing and Jin Yan, Gu Zheng took Xiong San upstairs.
Xiong San followed Gu Zheng without saying a word, and the scene of being lectured by Gu Zheng in his dream was still vivid in his mind.
Arriving at the guest room upstairs, Gu Zheng looked Xiong San up and down and said calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"
"No, it's nothing."
Xiong San had the impulse to say something, but when Gu Zheng asked, he was too scared to speak.
"In the past thirty-five years, there have been many opportunities to escape from the dream, but you still chose to immerse yourself in it. If I hadn't entered your dream as a teacher, how long would you have planned to be lost in it?" Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Master."
Xiong San shouted pitifully.
Seeing Xiong San's pitiful look, Gu Zheng sighed in his heart.
Gu Zheng was not too angry with Xiong San. He knew that his third senior brother was in love, and this was an ordeal that he could not escape. However, he resented how Xiong San would give up on himself like that.
After thirty-five years of dreaming, Xiong San's gains can be said to be huge. His mind was immersed in the dream, but his body did not leave his cultivation behind, which also made his cultivation finally improve to a great extent.
The improvement of cultivation is only the benefit Xiong San has gained on the surface. After thirty-five years of training in dreams, the benefits Xiong San has gained are equally huge! First of all, a strong mind means a solid state of mind.
Secondly, once the mind is strong, the mind will also be strong.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Thirty-five years of dreams have also made Xiong San's state of mind particularly fragile when it comes to emotional calamity.
In the original era of Gu Zheng, Xiong San lost his head in pain because of the loss of Fairy Fei Yu. The heartbreak he experienced could not be understood by Gu Zheng at that time.
However, what Gu Zheng can foresee is that if Xiong San cannot be made to change, then in today's world, if he meets Fairy Feiyu again, then the love disaster will not be as simple as painful death, but
It will turn into a disaster of death!
Xiong San's state of mind is easy to collapse when experiencing love tribulations. This is not what makes Gu Zheng hate iron for not turning into steel. What really makes him hate iron for not turning into steel is that Xiong San clearly knows that not getting out of the dream is tantamount to committing suicide. He
But it acquiesces to the outcome that will occur.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng ended the retreat in time. He felt something in his heart and entered Xiong San's dream in time. If he hadn't awakened Xiong San at that time, it can be said that the immortal power accumulated by Xiong San's body through practice had already reached him.
I'm about to reach the limit that I can't bear!
Although Xiong San's body can continue to practice while his mind is immersed in dreams, practice is after all a matter that requires coordination of body and mind. Just physical practice without the guidance of the mind is equivalent to cramming.
Even good containers may burst.
If it were an ordinary person, Gu Zheng would not help, because this kind of thing is very dependent on cause and effect. However, Xiong San is Gu Zheng's disciple in today's era, and was his third senior brother in Gu Zheng's original era, even if he has to do it for
Because of this, Gu Zheng must also help him.
Gu Zheng understands that the so-called cause and effect will appear in the form of evil retribution, and the degree of danger is not low. The time of presentation will be at a certain moment when he and Xiong San are together. Gu Zheng feels that the evil he will bear this time
Retribution is very likely to appear in the experience of enchantment.
Regarding the matter of karma and evil retribution, it was impossible for Gu Zhengzi to talk to Xiong San. Some things could only be endured silently.
Seeing that Xiong San was really having a hard time speaking, Gu Zheng said, "Do you want me to resurrect the spirit bead?"
"thump!"
Xiong San knelt down to Gu Zheng, tears falling like rain. He didn't say anything, he just kept kowtowing.
"Get up!"
Gu Zheng sighed and used his immortal power to lift Xiong San up.
"My master knows that you have a deep relationship with Lingzhu, but the fate between you and Lingzhu is a bad fate. Once the result is achieved, no one can change it, so you'd better forget it!"
Gu Zheng used a white lie to dispel all of Xiong San's illusions, and the devastated Xiong San suddenly collapsed on the ground.
"My teacher will give you one day. You should use one day to think clearly about one thing. Do you want to live well as Lingzhu said, or do you want to live immersed in dreams? You have the right to choose.
It’s in your hands! If after one day, you want to choose the latter, I won’t force you as a teacher, but if you choose the former, I will ask you to have a firm heart!”
Gu Zheng didn't say that if Xiong San chooses the latter, the master-disciple relationship will end here. What he needs is Xiong San's determination not to be affected by other factors! Only when Xiong San has this determination can he help Xiong San.
Only when San gets out of the shadow of the spirit bead can he help Xiong San recover from his emotional catastrophe, so that Xiong San's future love tribulations will not turn into a terrible disaster of death.
Leaving Xiong San in the room, Gu Zheng came to Pinxian Residence on the first floor again.
It was lunch time, but Pinxianju was closed today, so the restaurant was very quiet.
Jin Yan and Master Yun Qing are both on the first floor, while Jin Yan's disciples are busy in the kitchen.
After Xiong San came out of the fairyland, he had interactions with Jin Yan and Master Yunqing. Master Yunqing and Jin Yan also knew that when Gu Zheng returned to Pinxianju, Xiong San would be punished.
when.
"Why are you two looking at me nervously?"
Gu Zheng looked at the nervous Master Yunqing and Jin Yan, frowning slightly.
"Ancestor, Taoist Brother Xiong said that after you finish training him, he will come over to train us. We are just waiting to be punished!" Master Yunqing smiled bitterly.
"Listen to his nonsense! I have nothing to teach you. Although you have fallen behind in your cultivation over the years, it can be regarded as happening for a reason." Gu Zheng said.
"Sir, have some tea."
Jin Yan made tea for Gu Zheng and pleaded with her eyes: "Sir, the disciples I have accepted are so excited that they are going crazy when they know that the Patriarch is in Pinxianju. Can you meet them when you are free?"
good?"
Gu Zheng shook his head: "There is a fate between us, but the fate between us is very shallow. This kind of fate is gone. However, since you have such a request and they are cooking now, then you can let them alone
Make a specialty dish, and the three people who cook it best will have the opportunity to give them a share."
"Thank you sir!"
Jin Yan hurriedly thanked her and went to the kitchen excitedly.
"The Patriarch doesn't see us?"
After hearing Jin Yan's excited announcement, the disciples all looked disappointed.
"Just be content! Even though your husband won't see you, he will give you an opportunity as the three best cooks. This must be a great gift! The time has come to test your cooking skills." Jin Yan said seriously.
road.
Gu Zheng's absence made Jin Yan's disciples a little disappointed, but when they thought that they still had a chance to get the big gift, they started scrambling one by one.
Looking at the busy disciples, Jin Yan sighed in her heart. She felt that such disciples would never be seen again.
If it were in Jixiang Xiaozhu, when this happened, Jin Yan and the others would definitely communicate to see what dishes they were going to cook and what level of ingredients they were going to use. After all, the test given by Gu Zheng seemed to be only one dish.
, but the scope of a dish is also very wide.
However, Jin Yan's disciples did not communicate with each other at all, and they were even wary of each other, fearing that the other party would see what ingredients they were going to use and what dishes they were going to cook.
When Jin Yan accepted her disciples, she also taught them that they should treat each other like a family, but Jin Yan was not an old quarrel, and she did not have that kind of intimidation power. The disciples said they were good, but they all had their own thoughts in their hearts.
"It's human nature!"
Jin Yan smiled bitterly in her heart. She no longer paid attention to her disciples and left the kitchen.
"Sir, now that the Ningshuang Sect's troubles have been solved, when are we going to settle the matter?
Where is the boundary?”
With a little irritation towards her disciples, Jin Yan really wanted to go out for a walk immediately.
"What's wrong? Do you really want to go out for a walk?"
Staring at the annoyance on Jin Yan's face, Gu Zheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"It's okay, but I really want to go out for a walk! Think about it, from the time I opened the Xianchu restaurant to now, I haven't traveled far for many years." Jin Yan smiled bitterly.
"No rush."
Gu Zheng smiled: "The barrier is a rather special place. Once we break through in cultivation, we will be squeezed out and will not be able to enter again in a short time. You and Yun Qing are both stuck at the bottleneck. I want to wait for you.
After both of them have broken through, I will take you into the barrier."
"ah?"
Master Yunqing and Jin Yan both widened their eyes.
"Ancestor, a breakthrough requires the mysterious realm. It is precisely because we cannot wait for the mysterious realm that we have been stuck here!" Master Yun Qing said.
"For ordinary people, the mysterious realm is hard to come by, but for me, after certain conditions are met, the mysterious realm can be created through food cultivation. It can be said that you are relatively lucky, and there are immortal products like the Immortal Dragon Core.
Ingredients, I can use this fairy ingredient to cook a meal for each of you. If you are lucky enough to make a breakthrough in the mysterious realm at that time, then we can go to the barrier early. If you cannot break through, we
Just stay in Pinxianju for a while, and then I will take you to other places to practice and see if you can have a chance to break through."
"Thank you sir!"
Master Yunqing and Jin Yan almost jumped up with joy when they heard that Gu Zheng said that cooking them with immortal dragon core could trigger the mysterious realm of food cultivation.
"Sir, these are the resources earned from opening the Immortal Kitchen Store over the years. Among them, the immortal fruits, five elements inner elixirs and immortal ingredients are all reserved for you. The rest, you can take whatever you need."
Jin Yan handed a storage belt to Gu Zheng.
"I don't need the five elements inner elixir now. The five elements of my life are already complete. The fairy fruit is a good thing. Just keep it for yourselves. After you leave the barrier, I will teach you the cooking method of the fairy fruit food. As for that,
You can keep these immortal ingredients for your own use in the future! If you are lucky enough to understand the traces of Tao in them, this can be considered an opportunity for you. I only want some of the things in this storage belt that can be used on you.
Just the ingredients."
Gu Zheng recognized the owner of the storage belt and looked at the items inside.
"It's really good. These Nianxian Kitchen restaurants are not in vain. It's no wonder those sects aren't jealous of these saved resources." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Sir, please get more resources!"
Seeing that Gu Zheng only selected a dozen ingredients, Jin Yan really felt that it was too little.
"What I got is a little short, but as long as you can use it, you are not short of ingredients, and I am not short of ingredients either!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Ancestor, you said that if we can't understand in the mysterious realm, we will stay in Pinxianju for a while. Do you mean that Ancestor wants to do business for a while?" Master Yunqing asked curiously.
"No, this time is spent waiting for Xiong San."
Thinking that Xiong San had two choices, Gu Zheng added: "Of course, there may not be any during this time."
After chatting with Jin Yan and Master Yunqing for a while, the dishes cooked by Jin Yan's disciples were served one after another by Jin Yan.
Jin Yan's disciples are all immortal chefs, so the dishes they make naturally look good, and can be said to be full of color, flavor and flavor.
However, different people have different perceptions of color, fragrance, and Gu Zheng is undoubtedly an extremely picky person.
He didn't try the dishes prepared by Jin Yan's disciples at all. The most Gu Zheng could do was flip them a few times with chopsticks.
"Jade powder honey flower cake."
"Sour bamboo shoots."
"Golden Threaded Pork."
Among the dozen or so dishes, Gu Zheng singled out three.
"Did my choice of these three dishes exceed your expectations?" Gu Zheng asked Jin Yan.
"Sir, among my sixteen disciples, the eldest disciple has the best cooking skills and has reached the level of a senior immortal chef. This "Jade Pink Honey Flower Cake" was made by her, sir."
I'm not surprised that I chose this dish. As for the other two dishes, they were not cooked by the two disciples who were the second most skilled in cooking. The tenth and twelfth disciples who made these two dishes usually didn't perform very well.
I am a little surprised that the dishes I cook will be chosen by my husband." Jin Yan said.
"Your eldest disciple's talent in the art of food is not inferior to yours. Among the three dishes I selected, her cooking is considered the best. The dish cooked by the tenth disciple was chosen because he was bolder and luckier.
It is also better. He dares to make changes to the original ingredients and is relatively successful. The twelfth disciple should be a smart man. It seems that he usually knows how to restrain his sharp edges. His talent in the way of food is actually not much worse than your eldest disciple.
.”
"Sour Bamboo Shoots" is a dish passed down from Gu Zheng, adhering to the principle that there is room for improvement in all dishes passed down from generation to generation. The improvement of this dish makes Gu Zheng quite satisfied. As for the other two dishes, they are also passed down from Gu Zheng.
Next, Gu Zheng can certainly see a person's talent from the dishes he has passed down.
Jin Yan looked at Gu Zheng with admiration. She could taste whether these dishes were good or bad, but she wanted to see something deeper through just one dish, which she couldn't do with her current skills.
. Just like the disciple she made "Golden Threaded Pork", she always thought that this disciple's talent in the way of eating was just average among all the disciples.
Gu Zheng picked out some things from the storage, most of which were jade slips, and they were put into three brocade boxes.
"Give these three brocade boxes to your three disciples and tell them not to tell anyone about the contents. I also tell your other disciples not to ask about the contents. This is an opportunity that belongs to the three of them."
Gu Zheng placed the three brocade boxes corresponding to the three dishes. Jin Yan nodded and took the brocade boxes to the kitchen to convey what Gu Zheng had told her to her disciples.
"Master, we are convinced that the senior sister can get the gift from the ancestor, but we are not convinced that the tenth and twelfth junior brothers can get the gift from the ancestor! Did the ancestor taste the wrong dish?"
"Master, we are dissatisfied. How come the two junior brothers got gifts from the Grandmaster? How could the Grandmaster make such a decision?"
Jin Yan's third and seventh disciples looked as if they were about to cry.
"You bastard!" Jin Yan shouted angrily.
Since the eldest disciple, the third disciple, and the seventh disciple are more talented, Jin Yan usually takes care of these three people a lot. However, even the third disciple and the seventh disciple, who are taken care of a lot by Jin Yan, will not be able to fight against Gu Zheng if they dare to
When questioned about the decision, Jin Yan could not bear it and showed unprecedented anger.
Seeing Jin Yan getting angry, the third disciple and the seventh disciple quickly knelt down.
"Are you so brave? Your ancestor dares to question it? It seems that my master has really neglected to teach you!"
The angry Jin Yan took out the fairy vine and whipped it towards the third and seventh disciples.
The sound of "pah pah pah" was heard, and bloody wounds suddenly appeared on the third and seventh disciples. However, they gritted their teeth and did not dare to cry out in pain. They just kept begging Jin Yan for mercy and admitting their mistake.
Jin Yan was really angry. She was the kind of master who loved her disciples. From the time these disciples started, the celestial vine was rarely used for punishment.
Jin Yan's cultivation level was not high, and her disciples' cultivation level was even lower. Forty lashes from the immortal vine fell on the two disciples, which really turned them into bloody men.
"Let me tell you two, a teacher also has a bottom line. Questioning the ancestor is one of the bottom lines of a teacher! Today you two have touched the bottom line of a teacher. The punishment of the teacher does not end here. You two
You are now using fairy power to stop the bleeding, but you are not allowed to use fairy power or things like grass-returning cultivation to recover your injuries! Let this scar stay on your body for a while longer, so that you can improve your memory! In the next period of time
Here, you don’t have to go anywhere, just think about your mistakes in this kitchen, and you don’t have to cook the dishes. After you recover from your injuries, you can be servants in Pinxianju! If you behave well, in the future
You can still stay in Pinxianju. If you have any complaints or perform poorly, I will abolish your cultivation, erase your memory of belonging to the Immortal Chef, and expel you from the school!" Jin Yan said coldly.
"Master, I know I was wrong!"
"Master, I really
I know I was wrong!"
The third disciple and the seventh disciple cried loudly. They did not expect that their impulse would lead to such a severe punishment.
"Everyone of you should take this as a warning!"
Jin Yan glanced at the other disciples coldly, scaring those disciples into making promises quickly.
Those who should be beaten were beaten, and those who should be warned were also warned. Jin Yan's anger subsided a little, and she spoke again: "Sir, of course there is a reason for giving gifts to whom. As for what the reason is, I
I won’t explain it clearly. I’ll bring you these two dishes, “Sour Bamboo Shoots” and “Golden Threaded Pork”. You can understand as much as you can after you taste them!”
Jin Yan left the kitchen again and was very sad when she saw Gu Zheng, tears bursting out of her eyes instantly.
"Sir, what kind of disciples do you think these are the disciples I taught?"
Even though Gu Zheng couldn't see Jin Yan's disciples, Jin Yan still hoped that his disciples could leave a good impression on Gu Zheng, so when he entered the kitchen, he lifted the ban on soundproofing.
Jin Yan originally thought that even if the disciples had doubts, they would tactfully ask where they lost. At that time, she would say the words of Gu Zheng's evaluation. But who would have thought that the disciples would be so unsatisfactory?
, all questioned Gu Zheng.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Gu Zheng smiled, he didn't think there was anything wrong with being questioned.
"Okay, don't cry. As the saying goes, "A strict teacher makes a good disciple." What you did just now was very good." Gu Zheng consoled him.
"Sir, I will teach them strictly in the future. Now I will give those two dishes to those unsatisfactory things!" Jin Yan said while holding back her tears.
