After switching from robbing to harvesting, Shu Han's collection of sky fire slowed down, but it was still more time-consuming and labor-intensive than fighting the giant sky fire whale all day long.
After accumulating enough sky fire on the seabed, Shu Han flew to the Thunder Prison Islands and concentrated on cultivating the fire spirit roots. He repeated this process, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Within two years, the Skyfire Giant Whale hated Shu Han's practice of locusts crossing the border; Shu Han criticized the Skyfire Giant Whale's behavior of being timid and afraid to come out to fight because it was too time-consuming.
However, on this day, Shu Han refined the accumulated Sky Fire, walked out of the secret room, and was about to continue diving into the deep sea to collect the source of Sky Fire, when he suddenly saw that the dark clouds on the Thunder Prison Islands had cleared up.
The sea water is still boiling under the influence of geology, but no thunder gushes out from the bottom of the sea. Although the Thunder Prison Islands are still windy and the waves are high, the entire Thunder Prison Islands seem to be suddenly quiet compared to before.
This sight made Shu Han feel that something was not right. After two years of robbing the Skyfire Giant Whale in the Thunder Prison Islands, Shu Han knew that the non-stop thunder in the Thunder Prison Islands was caused by the blue flames and sky fire on the seabed absorbing the geological movement of the seabed.
Now that the thunder covering the Thunder Prison Islands has disappeared, it means that the fire spirit below no longer absorbs the heat of the seabed!
"What on earth is this Sky Fire Spirit doing?"
Shu Han frowned, and he immediately jumped into the sea and came to the seabed of the Thunder Prison Islands.
What appeared in front of him was no longer a hotbed of sky fire with blue flames growing, but an exposed seabed filled with magma.
The entire seabed changed from the original faint blue to a burning red, and the sky fire growing on the seabed disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Shu Han's heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be that the fire spirit felt that I pinched it too hard and couldn't bear it, so it packed up the stuff and ran away overnight?"
Thinking of this, Shu Han couldn't help but feel troubled.
I finally found a long-term and stable supply of sky fire, how could I just let it run away at a moment’s notice!
Shu Han hurriedly searched on the vast seabed of the Thunder Prison Islands. As a result, Shu Han discovered that the sky fire had indeed disappeared without a trace, and he did not know where he had escaped.
Seeing this scene, Shu Han was quite puzzled: Although I collected a lot of the source of the sky fire, this seabed with violent geological activities will replenish it every moment! This sky fire is not just like this.
Run away with your tail between your legs!
Feeling very puzzled, Shu Han had no choice but to return to the Thunder Prison Islands.
He felt that it was impossible for the giant fire whale to really abandon this beautiful seabed that day. Maybe it was pretending to leave so that he could deceive himself and then come back.
"I'll just sit here and wait! I don't believe you are willing to give up this precious land!"
Shu Han sat cross-legged on a high peak, quietly waiting for the return of the sky fire.
However, after sitting for a long time, Shu Han smelled the aroma of wine floating in the air.
The aroma of this wine was extremely special and could not help but make Shu Han's nose twitch. Shu Han had been practicing Taoism for so many years and had drunk a lot of good wine in the world of cultivation, but this aroma of wine spreading in the wind particularly attracted his attention. It was not that
The aroma of this wine is so alluring and rich precisely because the aroma of this wine is quite crude.
This crude aroma of wine brought back Shu Han's long-standing memories.
I still remember that Shu Han was still in the small mountain village in Yanbei. Every month before the New Year, Shu Han's parents began to prepare new year's goods. The most important of which was home-brewed rice wine, used to entertain guests. Because food in the mountains is precious, the villagers
Most people are reluctant to use rice to make wine, and they are only willing to use it during the New Year.
Rice wine is brewed by fermenting the rice of that year. The methods of ordinary people in the mountains are rough and the materials used are not very particular. The brewed rice wine has a rough and mixed aroma.
However, it was such a crude aroma of wine that kept Shu Han fresh in his memory, because Shu Han knew that smelling such crude aroma of wine at home meant that the Chinese New Year was coming.
At this time, Shu Han smelled the faint aroma of wine floating in the air and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Is there anyone else in the Thunder Prison Islands?"
Shu Han searched for the aroma of wine and came to a small island not far away. From a distance, he saw a small wooden house standing on the bare island. In front of the wooden house, there were four large vats with lids on them.
Wearing a thick quilt, the aroma of wine emanates from the vat.
In front of the wooden house are several acres of rice fields that have been harvested. There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees beside the rice fields. The straw is piled under the sweet-scented osmanthus trees, and the sweet-scented osmanthus slowly falls on the straw pile. It looks like an ordinary mountain village family.
However, Shu Han was a little surprised, because when he came to the Thunder Prison Islands, he had already scanned all the islands. There was such an unexpected farmhouse on the island, and it was impossible for him not to notice it. Suddenly, a figure walked out of the wooden house. His appearance
He is young and ordinary, with a thin and tall figure. He is dressed in rough cloth and looks like a farmer in the field.
But Shu Han doesn’t believe that there are ordinary mortal farmers in this Thunder Prison Islands!
Clear your eyesight!
With clear eyesight, Shu Han saw the faint demonic aura emanating from this man, and he turned out to be a demonic beast in disguise.
"Why is the demonic energy of the transformed monster so low! What is this monster doing on the Thunder Prison Islands?!"
Shu Han couldn't help but frown, the scene in front of him was really strange and unexpected.
The man walked to the big vat, lifted the quilt, scooped out a bowl of rice wine in a porcelain bowl, and looked at it carefully.
Because the demonic energy was too low, Shu Han couldn't tell what level of demonic beast this person was. He was about to use all his power to see his true identity when he saw the man turn around and smile at Shu Han.
The sky where it is raises the porcelain bowl.
"A fellow Taoist actually came to my humble residence. Why don't you come down and ask for a bowl of wine?"
Hearing this person say this, Shu Han became vigilant. He came with a concealed aura, but he was discovered in an instant, which showed that this demon was very powerful. Shu Han Qingling scanned the entire island with clear eyes, and found that there was no one on the island.
No formation was arranged, and the other party showed no malice. After thinking for a moment, he slowly descended and arrived in front of the wooden house.
Shu Han cupped his hands and said, "I, Feng Zelu, have met fellow Taoist."
The man smiled and said: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Feng. I'm here in Aoyou. Fellow Taoist came at the right time. The wine I brewed has just been fermented in the past two days. The wine is poor. I don't know if it suits fellow Taoist taste."
Shu Han came to the wine vat, opened the quilt, and saw the clear rice wine in the rice nest in the vat. He scooped up a bowl and took a sip, which immediately reminded him of secretly drinking from an adult's cup when he was a child.
Shu Han couldn't help but admire the scene of the rice wine: "Clear but not turbid, fragrant but not sour, rich in rice aroma, sweet and refreshing, the rice wine brewed by fellow Taoist is the best rice wine I have ever tasted in my life!"
Hearing Shu Han's praise, Ao You couldn't help but smile on his thin face. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "With your Taoist cultivation, have you ever drank such poor rice wine? I thought you were like Taoist Taoist."
For such a great human monk, the contents in his cup are filled with rare nectar and jade liquid that is rare in the world."
Shu Han chuckled and said: "Actually, it's true. No matter how good the rice wine is, it is still limited by the materials and techniques and cannot compare with the fine wines in the cultivation world. But each has its own flavor, like the mortal village where I was born when I was a child.
, seeing that adults regard this wine as a treasure, naturally the memory will remain fresh."
Hearing this, Ao You widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Fellow Taoist is still a mortal!"
Shu Han smiled and said: "What about mortals, so what about immortals? Going back a few generations, whose ancestors are not mortals? Some of the happiness of mortals is far better than that of cultivators like us!"
Ao You listened to Shu Han's words and was a little confused for a moment. He tasted the taste: "The happiness of mortals is far better than that of cultivators! Okay! What the Taoist said is very good! What the Taoist said is very good!
, I must entertain my fellow Taoist well today! Fellow Taoist, please come in!"
Shu Han looked at his enthusiastic look and felt very surprised. He thought to himself, how can you, a monster in disguise, still feel so much emotion?
Embarrassed to refuse Ao You's kindness, Shu Han walked into the cabin.
The cabin is extremely simple, just like a farmhouse. Shu Han is sitting on a wooden chair, and Ao You is busy in the cabin. Even though he has great demon power, he does everything by himself. Pour Shu Han wine and prepare
Rice cakes, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and even two bunches of candied haws were served, and everyone was very busy.
Shu Han looked at the dazzling array of pastries on the table and froze in front of the table.
Ao You looked at Shu Han with eager eyes, and then at the pastries and drinks on the table, as if to indicate: Try it quickly! He acted like an ordinary person who expected guests to taste his craftsmanship.
Shu Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't resist Ao You's enthusiasm and started to taste each one.
But there is one thing to say, Ao You's craftsmanship is absolutely first-rate, not only the wine is fragrant and mellow, but the various pastries are also delicious, and Shu Han cheers after eating them.
Hearing Shu Han's praise, Ao You drank rice wine with a smile on his face, contentedly watching Shu Han empty his pastries, and kept pouring wine for Shu Han politely.
Shu Han said sheepishly: "Fellow Taoist, you should also eat. It would be embarrassing for me to eat alone!"
Ao You scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Actually, I don't like to eat, and I can't taste it. After all, I am a monster. Even if I transform into a human, I am not a real person after all. If you give me these to eat, it will be really bad."
It’s a waste. But seeing fellow Taoist eat so deliciously, you know that my craftsmanship is not bad! Hahaha, fellow Taoist, keep going, there’s not enough for me!”
Hearing this, Shu Han's cheeks couldn't help but twitch. He put down the pastries, raised his hands and asked, "I haven't asked my fellow Taoist yet what kind of monster transformed into a human being! I don't know if it's convenient for us to tell you." Ao You said lightly: "
It’s convenient, what’s the inconvenience, my body is the Chaos Sea Demon Swallowing Whale.”
Shu Han:……
A mouthful of pastry immediately stuck in Shu Han's throat. He quickly drank a sip of rice wine, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The chaotic sea demon swallows the whale?
Is it the one I used to kill a group of people with one palm?
Ao You saw Shu Han's expression change slightly, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "What's wrong with fellow Taoist? Is there anything I've done that doesn't suit fellow Taoist's taste? Please correct me, fellow Taoist, so that I can improve my craftsmanship!"
Shu Han said sarcastically: "No, no, no! My Taoist craftsmanship is at its peak, and there is nothing to criticize... But I didn't expect that my Taoist friend was actually born from the Chaotic Sea Demon Swallowing Whale. I heard that that kind of monster has an extremely violent and ferocious temperament...
"
Hearing this, Ao You looked embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly: "I made fellow Taoist laugh, but that's true." Shu Han looked at the harmless look on his face, and there was really no way he could fight with the extremely cruel Chaotic Sea Demon.
However, for the sake of safety, Shu Han tentatively asked: "I think fellow Taoist demonic energy is not strong, but rather restrained in the body. It is very impressive to be able to do this. I believe that fellow Taoist must have good cultivation."
Let’s take part in the good fortune.”
Ao You smiled and said: "Thanks to the praise from fellow Taoists, I am just lucky enough to have reached the tenth level."
puff!
Shu Han spit out a mouthful of rice wine, which startled Ao You. He hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, fellow Taoist? Is there something wrong with this batch of wine?"
Shu Han felt that Ao You was an unfathomable monster, but he never expected that he was actually a tenth-level monster!
The tenth level chaotic sea demon swallowing whale!
Oh my god! That must be the Demonic Whale-Swallowing King of the Chaos Sea. If he knows that I slapped many of his clansmen to death, wouldn’t he fall out with me?
Although the tenth-level monster is not of true spirit bloodline, it is definitely not easy to deal with!
Shu Han said uneasily: "No, I am just a little surprised by the cultivation level of fellow Taoist. But I dare to ask you, if you have such cultivation level, you must be a big shot in heaven and earth. How come you come to live in the Thunder Prison Islands?"
Abandon the ordinary farm life?"
Ao You said: "I'm not really a towering figure. As for why I came to the Thunder Prison Islands, it's actually very simple, because the Thunder Prison Islands is where I grew up. In human terms, it's my hometown. I just
I just visit my hometown in my spare time."
Shu Han said in astonishment: "Fellow Taoist, did you grow up on the Thunder Prison Islands? But the habitat of the Chaotic Sea Demon-Swallowing Whale is not far from here." Ao You said a little embarrassedly: "To be honest with you, Taoist, I was born weak.
, has a weird and thin body, and is disliked by my fellow tribesmen. My fellow Taoists also know that the Chaos Sea Demon Swallowing Whale is cruel in nature, and my fellow tribesmen can’t bear to see me like this, so I was forced to live in the sea area of Thunder Prison Islands."
That's how blind they are!
A majestic tenth-level transformed monster, he was actually looked down upon by his peers when he was young.
Shu Han asked: "There seems to be no other monsters living in the Thunder Prison Islands. You have been living here alone since you were a child?" Ao You nodded calmly: "What you said is right, the environment of the Thunder Prison Islands is harsh. There are no
Other monsters are willing to come here. Haha, I am timid and cowardly by nature. I am afraid of my fellow creatures outside, so I have been wandering alone in this sea area. It was not until I transformed that I had the courage to leave the Thunder Prison Islands."
Hearing this, Shu Han was shocked.
"I heard that it takes a lot of time for a monster to transform into a monster! Is it true that my fellow Taoist has been living alone on the Thunder Prison Islands during these long years?"
Ao You nodded.
It's hard for Shu Han to imagine what that kind of life is like after living alone in a lonely sea for tens of millions of years.
He took a sip of rice wine and said, "With no one to accompany me, it must have been very difficult to be lonely in those days."
Ao You smiled, shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not difficult. Because I was born weird and ugly, I was always ridiculed and ridiculed by my fellow tribesmen in my memory. It's not bad to live by myself, at least the waves and hurricanes of the Thunder Prison Islands will not scold me.
I, although the thunders in the sea sometimes hit me with unbearable pain, they are not specifically aimed at me. I stay with the wonders of the sea, watch the rise and fall of the starry sky, and experience the mystery of the sea, so I don’t feel that life is difficult.”
Ao You sighed: "I didn't get company at that time, how could I feel lonely?"
After listening to Ao You's words, Shu Han realized that Ao You's sincerity, frankness, and pleasant demeanor were not disguised, but his personality. The reason why monsters are violent and cruel, and the reason why people are deceitful is because
influence each other.
Living among monsters, if you are not cruel and cruel, you will become the blood of other monsters.
If you don't learn to be more cautious among the crowd, you will be deceived by others sooner or later and lose everything.
The bad natures of humans and monsters are all forced out by themselves.
On the contrary, although Ao You is a violent sea demon swallowing whale by nature, he was born and raised in the Thunder Prison Islands and stayed with the wave islands since he was a child, so he cultivated a frank and peaceful temperament.
Shu Han offered Ao You a glass of wine and asked, "It's really admirable that Taoist fellow Taoist can have such an understanding, but since Taoist fellow Taoist doesn't like mortal cakes, why did he develop such a good skill?" Ao You was all full.
Unable to hide his smile, he said: "I don't like to eat, but my wife especially loves to eat these small pastries. It made fellow Taoists laugh. She is a greedy person. She taught me how to make these things.
.”
Upon hearing this, Shu Han was speechless.
"My lady is a human monk!?"
Ao You nodded and smiled: "Yes! It's the human race!"
Shu Han choked: "But fellow Taoist, you are a demon!"
Ao You smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, fellow Taoist Feng, but what is the difference between humans and demons? There are many humans who are more cruel and cruel than demons, and there are also many demons who are more cunning and cunning than humans. In my eyes, there is no difference between humans and demons.
There is a big difference, and I have searched through the entire demon and human races, but I can’t find a partner as dazzling as my wife! It is the greatest blessing in my life to be able to meet my wife!”
Seeing the way Ao You's eyes lit up when he mentioned his wife, Shu Han couldn't help but smile, and at the same time he admired Ao You and his wife.
Shu Han then asked: "I wonder where your lady is now? I would like to meet this strange woman!"
Ao You laughed loudly: "Fellow Taoist is a mortal who has cultivated. My wife must also be happy to meet you. But now is not the time. She is closing the Nascent Soul Pass. It will take two to three hundred years to break out."
." Ao You took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said with a smile: "Two or three hundred years, well, the days without her have really made my life feel like years. So I plan to use this period of time to continue to polish the skills she taught me, and
Learn all the famous pastries in the world, and after she comes out of isolation, make a new pastry for her to eat every day, so that she will never be the same every day."
When Ao You talked about his wife, the light in his eyes kept flowing, as if he was talking about the most precious treasure in the world.
Seeing his infatuated look, Shu Han smiled slightly and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Nascent Soul Pass! Two to three hundred years!
This reminded him of Shangguan Ruolin. Shangguan Ruolin was also attacking the Nascent Soul barrier. However, if he did not find the Bodhi Seed of Life and Death by himself, then this barrier would not be overcome in two or three hundred years.
Looking at Shu Han's dejected look, Ao You asked, "Do you have something on your mind, fellow Taoist?"
Shu Han smiled and said: "Actually, my wife is also trying to reach the Nascent Soul barrier, but she is not as lucky as your lady. She can get out of the barrier in two or three hundred years. If I don't work hard, she won't know what to do.
It’s time to meet me again, oh, I really envy fellow Taoist fellow Taoist!”
When Ao You heard this, he had a look of regret on his face. He poured Shu Han a full bottle of wine and said, "Fellow Taoist, you must work harder. If husbands can't protect their wives, then what qualifications do they have to be called their husbands?"
Even if the road ahead is a sea of fire, we have to bulldoze it for them and let them get through it safely, right?"
Shu Han nodded, gulped down the rice wine in the bowl, and agreed: "What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true! It's rare to meet such a frank person as fellow Taoist, and I will definitely get drunk with you today. Fellow Taoist, please don't feel bad about the people outside the house.
Those four cylinders of rice wine!”
Ao You smiled and said, "A thousand cups of wine is too little when you meet a close friend. My Taoist friend invites you!"
As a result, the two continued to exchange cups and cups, and the conversation gradually shifted to bragging about their wives.
Shu Han: "My wife is beautiful and fragrant, and her appearance is unparalleled in the human world! There is no other extraordinary woman like her in the world!"
Ao You: "That's because you have never met my wife! Fellow Taoist Feng, no matter how much you brag, you can never be as beautiful as my wife!"
Shu Han: "Fart! How can you, a monster, understand human aesthetics!"
Ao You laughed loudly: "Hurry! Hurry! Let me tell you, my wife is not only outstanding in appearance, but also gentle and kind in character!"
Shu Han was anxious.
He thought of the time when Shangguan Ruolin was injured and became smaller. Shangguan Ruolin's fierce little face lingered in his mind, as if it was about to jump out and bite anyone at any time.
"This... I guess it's really incomparable! My... sometimes has a really explosive temper..."
The two of them drank for half a day, and all four jars of rice wine were emptied.
Shu Han felt a little embarrassed watching Ao You drink and eat all his inventory, so he took out a ten thousand year black ice bed and handed it to Ao You. Shu Han said: "I received warm hospitality from fellow Taoists today. A small gift cannot be considered respectful.
Fellow Taoist, please don't refuse in a hurry, this is for Madam. The Ten Thousand Years Xuanbing Bed will be of great benefit to Madam's jade body when she breaks out of the barrier."
Ao You smiled bitterly and put away the Wannian Xuanbing bed.
"Then I would like to express my gratitude to my dear fellow Taoist, Madam."
Shu Han smiled and said: "It's easy to talk about." Then Shu Han walked out of the wooden house and looked at the Leiyu Islands where the sky was still clear and clear. He suddenly frowned and murmured: "When will this stupid sky fire come back?!"
Hearing Shu Han's muttering, Ao You was surprised and said, "Did fellow Taoist come to the Thunder Prison Islands for the Sky Fire?"
"Exactly, I don't know why the sky fire disappeared suddenly, and I am quite distressed. Since you have lived in this sea area since you were a child, do you know where the sky fire goes?"
Ao You said embarrassedly: "I have caused trouble to fellow Taoists. The reason why the sky fire disappeared is because I came back. This thunder sea blue firework gave me face, so it temporarily sneaked into the depths of the earth. When I leave the Thunder Prison Islands, it will naturally
Just return to the seabed and continue to accumulate sky fire."
Upon hearing this, Shu Han was completely speechless.
It turns out it was you who scared Tianhuo away!
However, this news shocked Shu Han.
Tianhuo, who was fearless that day, was actually scared away by Ao You!
At this time, Shu Han couldn't help but change the way he looked at Ao You.
Ao You looked guilty and asked: "Do you need heavenly fire urgently? If you don't want much, I can help you negotiate with the thunder sea blue fireworks."
Shu Han was shocked. Taking away a little bit of the source of the Heavenly Fire was like taking the life of the Thunder Sea Blue Firework. Can this still be negotiated?
Shu Han murmured: "I don't need much...but it's best to get all the Thunder Sea Blue Fireworks."
Ao You hurriedly waved his hand: "This can't be done! This cannot be negotiated! Seeing that fellow Taoist has a predestined relationship with me and has given my wife a precious ten thousand year black ice bed, I will at most fight for half of this for fellow Taoist to see if he will sell me this
face."
half?!
Shu Han's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Are you so proud?
