While the chipmunk has lost a lot of weight, his level of fitness has actually improved.
In just over a month, the chipmunk's level has broken through from a low-level totem to a medium-level totem.
Only Luo He can catch up with this speed of progress.
But then again... Luo He still sympathized with the chipmunks inexplicably.
The chipmunk can be where he is today, and both he and Bai Ze are inseparable!
Luo He coughed lightly, invited the two of them in, and sat down next to a tea table in the courtyard.
At the same time, Xuexue served out a case of refreshments according to Luo He's instructions.
The dried fruits are exquisite, the cookies are dripping with honey, and the cakes are dotted with icing and chocolate.
Luo He knew that Bai Ze preferred to drink, so he also prepared fruit wine brewed from Baize bottles and placed it on the tea table.
It was winter and the weather was very cold. Senior Bai Ze was still wearing the thin white gown and stared at the tea table with interest.
Although I didn’t come to Luo He to drink, there is good wine, so if you don’t drink it, it’s all for nothing!
The chipmunk jumped from Bai Ze's shoulder to the tea table, picked up the dried fruit with its little paws, and stuffed it into his cheek pouch.
"Squeak~" The chipmunk stuffed several pieces of dried fruit into his mouth in one go, puffed up his cheeks, and moved his cheeks up and down.
I eat, eat, eat, eat!
Seeing this, Luo He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It seems that the Chipmunks are really out of food.
Look at the children, how hungry they are!
"The chipmunk said he wanted to come to see you, and I happened to have the same idea, so I went with him," Bai Ze said.
Luo He had told the chipmunk before that he would let the chipmunk come to his home for the winter, so he was not surprised by the chipmunk's arrival.
But Senior Bai Ze's sudden visit made Luo He a little curious and waited for the next chapter.
"A few days ago, a little girl came to Kunlun Mountain to find me with a white bottle. She said that you had accidentally entered a crack in the spiritual world and that your life or death was uncertain. She was so anxious that she almost cried."
Senior Bai Ze took a sip of wine and said calmly: "I will calculate the time and come to see you in person to verify my prediction..."
She raised her pair of deep heterochromatic pupils, ruby and yellow amber eyes, which seemed to be able to communicate between the yin and yang realms.
At this moment, the Bai Ze in front of him seemed no longer a lazy and carefree drunkard, but a wise man who understood everything.
Bai Ze, one of the seven holy beasts, can listen to the pain and voices of all things, and can also empathize with all things.
Luo He really wanted to tell Bai Ze about his encounter with the God of Death.
But Luo He didn't dare to be reckless. After all, the God of Death made it clear that telling his story would not end well.
Luo He pursed his lips and said, "What prediction is verified?"
Bai Ze's heterochromatic pupils were shimmering with light. After a while, the seemingly deep light in the depths of his eyes was replaced by a hint of light.
"Verify whether you are alive and well." Bai Ze picked up the wine glass and chuckled: "Isn't this a good thing? Come on, let's drink together!"
Luo He substituted tea for wine, and clinked the wine glasses with the white-haired beauty with strange eyes. He looked at the Holy Spirit Bai Ze, who was drinking boldly and relying on wine to numb his senses, but stopped talking.
"Senior Bai Ze must have noticed something."
Luo He thought: "It's just that she can't say it clearly, and it's not convenient for me to reveal it, so I can only tacitly..."
His eyes fell back on the chipmunk who was working hard to eat.
Luo He complained: "Senior Bai Ze, are you too harsh on the chipmunk's food reserves?"
"This is the gift of repair."
Bai Ze showed a serious look, then immediately relaxed after a second and waved his hand.
"Just pay the tuition." Bai Ze drank and smiled: "I can't just give advice to others."
Luo He thinks it makes sense.
But I still think the chipmunk is pretty miserable.
There is no contradiction between the two. He coughed dryly, poked the stuffed chipmunk with his finger, and said:
"Chipmunk, just stay at my house for the winter, and I will prepare food for you."
Suddenly, the chipmunk stopped chewing and raised its small black eyes, with tears like small pearls shining in them.
"Squeak!" (Thank you, Luo He!)
Luo He looks up to the sky.
In the beginning, it seemed that I was the one who led Bai Ze to the mountain...
You see, it still has to thank us!
Bai Ze can naturally empathize with chipmunks, and he does not collect wool just to take advantage of it, but more out of a sense of fun.
She smiled, picked up the wine glass, and clinked the peanut in the chipmunk's hand:
"I'll come back after all my money has been spent... Come, I wish you a smooth winter at Luo He's house!"
The chipmunk held up the peanut in his hand:
"squeak!"
Luo He also raised the tea cup in his hand with a smile.
Suddenly, the screen of his mobile phone on the tea table lit up.
The front camera projects blue light, intertwining into the image of a white-haired girl.
"Please allow me to remind you that providing totem-level creatures with the food they need to survive the winter is a very huge project, and household expenses will increase exponentially."
Zero is like a diligent and thrifty little secretary, giving prompts meticulously.
But Zero has just joined the team, and he doesn't know yet that he has the blessing of legendary kitchen utensils.
In fact, with four legendary kitchen utensils, even providing energy to the totem-level chipmunk is not too stressful.
"Don't worry, I know it very well." Luo He smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Ling."
"This is..." Bai Ze looked at Ling.
Luo He was about to speak when he was suddenly a little surprised.
Could it be that Senior Bai Ze cannot see through Zero’s origin?
"It's true that I can't see through it." Bai Ze raised his forehead, as if he heard Luo He's thoughts: "To tell you the truth, I don't have a deep enough understanding of the machines invented by modern humans."
The demons and monsters in the world were recorded in Shirasawa's map, but there was very little information about a newly invented mechanical life form like Zero.
Luo He suddenly realized that this was very reasonable.
Times have changed, even [Baize Tu] needs to keep pace with the times!
"Huh, give me a few more months and I'll figure it all out." The white-haired beauty with different eyes said lazily, "Now... let's drink some wine!"
Tons tons tons~
She put down her wine glass boldly, looked at No. 0, and asked with interest, "Can you drink?"
Luo He: "She is not even full moon yet..."
Zero said seriously: "I can convert alcohol into electrical energy. From a certain point of view, I can drink."
Bai Ze: "How's your drinking capacity?"
Zero: "The upper limit of alcohol consumption depends on the upper limit of my energy storage."
Bai Ze looked at Luo He, and Luo He saw a trace of confusion in her eyes for the first time.
Bai Ze, who knew everything, was a little confused when faced with the newly invented No. 0.
Luo He was afraid that Ling's hobbies would go astray with Senior Bai Ze, so he clicked on the screen of his mobile phone to put Ling away, then cleared his throat and said:
"Actually, I have something very important to ask you about the spiritual world."
Bai Ze did not delve into Ling's matter. He looked at Luo He's expression and nodded slightly:
"I'm very satisfied with today's drink...I will try my best to help you answer it."
A white light flashed across the tea table.
A biting cold air filled the air from the silver table knife that Luo He took out.
This table knife is extremely beautiful, with a snow-white blade and gorgeous carvings.
It was what Luo He obtained from the spirit world, [The God of Death's Knife].
Looking at this table knife, Bai Ze's sultry expression calmed down, and the eyes in his golden-red eyes were extremely serious.
"I obtained this table knife by accident in the spiritual world."
Luo He paused and said, "Can you tell me its real name or its specific use?"
Bai Ze fell into silence.
She raised her gaze, fixed it on Luo He's face, and said:
"You should know that in Western tableware, there is always a knife in one hand and a fork in the other."
Luo He was suddenly startled and said:
"You mean that there should be a 'fork' that matches this knife?"
The white-haired beauty lightly shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she had never said that.
"Try holding this knife." Bai Ze raised his chin and gestured to Luo He.
Luo He obeyed and held the handle of the knife. A strange feeling came from the knife, as if his stomach suddenly became empty.
Even the refreshments on the tea table in front of me became extremely delicious and tempting.
"How does it feel?"
"I feel... my appetite has greatly increased." Luo He said truthfully.
"Haha!"
This time it was Bai Ze's turn to be surprised and sighed:
"Looks like you got the real thing!"
Luo He wondered: "What kind of guy?"
"Put the knife away."
Bai Ze pinched a peanut and said calmly:
"With your current space power, it's not time to tell you its origin."
Luo He: "..."
I understand, this is because the level is not enough to unlock new mechanisms!
Although he is suspected of being the "Riddler", Senior Bai Ze must have his own rules of conduct.
Luo He didn't go into details. He put away Death's knife obediently and asked more questions:
"This table knife shouldn't have any negative impact on me, right?"
"No."
Bai Ze said clearly: "Just don't really use it to eat."
Luo He could only regard it as a token, and he did not dare to eat with Death's knife.
The confusion in his heart was answered, and Luo He still had one question left, and that was the ancient Qingqiu country mentioned by Xia Miao.
After Bai Ze heard the name of [Qingqiu Country] from Luo He, he retrieved his memory and said:
"This name sounds familiar...is there any other information?"
"It is said that there is a nine-tailed fox in the country of Qingqiu. Then, I suspect that the nine-tailed fox is actually a nine-section wolf, and may be related to Zao Lord." Luo He said truthfully.
Bai Ze lightly pounded his palms and said: "I have a solution - you go ask Xuan Gui!"
Luo He: "Ah?"
Bai Ze smiled and said: "Xuangui is Zao Lord's number one fan, and it may know all the news related to Zao Lord better than me."
In fact, Senior Gui is simply Zao Lord’s little fanboy.
Luo He originally planned to invite Boss Xiong, Bai Ze, Xuan Shuigui, Senior Qing and other relatives and friends to visit his home during the winter solstice.
When I went to invite Senior Turtle, I could ask about the news about [Qingqiu Ancient Country].
"Senior Bai Ze, come to my house for dinner on the winter solstice." Luo He took advantage of the opportunity to invite.
"Are you celebrating your survival?" Bai Ze joked.
"Wish me good luck in the future." Luo He said with a smile.
"Okay." Bai Ze said with a chuckle, "I will definitely come to visit that day."
The chipmunk cast a hopeful look:
"Squeak?" (Do I have a share?)
"Of course, you've stayed at my house, and I won't be without you every day!" Luo Hehao said angrily.
Chipmunk: "Squeak! (w)"
Winter is saved now!

Xuanwu Mountain.
bottom.
The giant lava turtle carried the volcano on its back, spewing out two streams of thick smoke from its nostrils, and said in an urn voice:
"Dinner party?"
"Yes."
Luo He said: "Other patron saints will also visit, and I will cook a big meal for everyone!"
Hearing the word 'big meal', Senior Turtle was obviously moved and said in a deep voice:
"That day...is there hot water?"
"Hot, hot water, you may need to bring your own." Luo He hesitated.
"I will come that day." Xuan Shuigui said with a smile, "Remember to put less chili pepper, I don't like spicy food."
Luo He smiled: "Don't worry, I remember your taste!"
Make it spicy, make it spicy!
The Xuan Shui Turtle nodded with pleasure, and asked Luo He to call out Xiao Jiu, and then showed it a few moves.
After a week of idle experience in the 'Travel Diary', Xiao Jiu's growth level has reached the level of High King.
But between the King level and the Overlord level, there are huge steps.
Just like a fish who collects four tokens and completes the transformation of the origin of life, it can only barely reach the threshold of the overlord level.
In order for Xiaojiu to break through the bottleneck, there is still a major opportunity missing.
Luo He's heart moved, and he asked Xuan Shuigui about the news about [Qingqiu Ancient Country].
"[Qingqiu Ancient Country]?"
There was a hint of surprise in Senior Turtle's dull voice:
"Where did you get the name of this place?"
"I heard about it accidentally." Luo He said curiously: "Do you know this place?"
"That's natural. After all, I have grown up listening to the stories of Kitchen God since I was a child."
Senior Turtle said in a deep voice: "That was the place where Lord Zao used to help the victims!"
Luo He said in surprise: "Relieve the victims?"
"The famine that year was particularly severe in the ancient country of Qingqiu. Starvation was everywhere, and the victims were eating each other."
Senior Turtle said slowly: "The Nong Emperor was looking for the holy beast. When he passed through Qingqiu, he divided his troops into two groups. The Zao Lord stayed in Qingqiu to provide relief, while the Nong Emperor went south to search for the whereabouts of the holy beast..."
"Legend has it that Lord Zao set up a big pot to wash away the local miasma and rescued the local victims. Later, in order to commemorate Lord Kitchen, the local people called him the [God of Qingqiu]."
Senior Turtle knows Zaojun’s past stories very well, and he is truly a fan leader.
Luo He did not expect that his original speculation was wrong. The God of Qingqiu was really the vest of the Kitchen God.
From this story, Luo He keenly captured a piece of information and said:
"Could this big pot set up by Lord Zao be the same pot that Emperor Nong will use to cook colorful soup in the future?"
"This is not recorded in the history books, so I can't be sure." Senior Turtle said.
Luo He nodded slowly, thoughtfully.
In the legend of the Nong Emperor, the ‘pot’ appears quite frequently.
It is almost certain that this pot must also be one of the legendary kitchen utensils.
In the ancient country of Qingqiu, there are also legends related to this pot.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find the whereabouts of the next legendary kitchen utensil during this trip to Qingqiu...
"Senior Turtle, to tell you the truth, I plan to investigate the ruins of the ancient Qingqiu Kingdom in the near future." Luo He said.
"A thousand-year-old monument has long been reduced to ruins. Where do you want to find it?" Senior Turtle asked curiously.
Luo He smiled slightly: "The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Zero's satellite navigation, plus Qinglong Sinan's metaphysical navigation.
