Xu Ying's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Okay! I have never planted leeks, let alone cut them!"
He walked forward with a smile, and Li Xiaoke handed over a sickle. Xu Ying picked up the sickle and looked at it. It was an ordinary sickle, no different from an ordinary farmer's sickle. The blade was curved inward and was quite sharp.
Dazhong first hid in Xu Ying's mind, and then ran out anxiously, but he did not dare to see Li Xiaoke, and hid in Qi's Xiyi territory, but was driven out by Qi Qi.
The big clock pressed hard against the wall of the clock and flew forward slowly. After a moment of silence, it called out shakily: "Master"
Li Xiaoke looked at it twice and then recognized it. He smiled gently and said: "Are you the demon-suppressing clock I refined? You are"
He looked at the big clock up and down, and seemed to recognize it, but hesitated a little. The big clock said quickly: "I have other runes on my body, no wonder the owner can't recognize it! I am the bronze bell from Xiaoshishan!"
It is very much looked forward to.
Li Xiaoke suddenly realized it and said with a hearty smile: "It turns out to be the copper bell I placed on the small rock mountain!"
Dazhong said happily: "The master has recognized me!"
Li Xiaoke said: "Of course I recognized you. You are the rare treasure I refined. I used you to suppress a rebellious god. After this god came down to the world, he did many evil things and harmed the people of Yongzhou. I finally captured him, but then killed him.
If you don't want to kill him, you will suppress him in a small rocky mountain, build a temple, and hang you there."
This was a battle he was quite proud of, so he naturally remembered it very clearly.
URL ps:
Da Zhong said happily: "Master also suppressed the Qingqi Demon Girl! That demon girl did many evil things and harmed loyal people, and was suppressed by the master and the gods together!"
Li Xiaoke's expression changed slightly and he said, "I don't remember this very clearly, fellow Taoist Xu!"
He turned around, smiled at Xu Ying and said, "Come on, my fellow Taoist and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we're about to have a chat! Let's talk while eating leeks!"
"good!"
Xu Ying looked at him and saw that Li Xiaoke was quite tall and dressed like a Han Dynasty person. He liked to wear black clothes and red belts. He had some beard at the corners of his mouth, but it was trimmed neatly.
.
Even though he worked in the fields, his clothes were as clean as new, without any wrinkles or dirt. Even when he was walking in the leek field, he was not stained by the green color of the grass.
He looked to be in his thirties, but it was impossible to tell that he was an old monster that was more than 3,000 years old. His skin was white and tender and well-maintained.
His nails are also trimmed neatly, and each nail fits the finger flesh exactly, no more, no less. His eyebrows are also trimmed symmetrically, and the number of eyebrows on the left is absolutely the same as the number of eyebrows on the right!
Although it was only a brief glance, Xu Ying could already tell that Li Xiaoke was a very clean person and pursued absolutely perfect symmetry.
"For Li Xiaoke, the current Zhongye is no longer his beloved magic weapon, because the current Zhongye is no longer perfectly symmetrical."
Xu Ying thought to himself, "And Master Zhong has someone else's mark on him, which is something he can't bear."
Xu Ying has seen this kind of person who pursues absolute perfection, just like Pei Du, the head of the Pei family in the capital of God.
He saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and bent down to cut leeks with Li Xiaoke.
Li Xiaoke said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Xu must have never grown leeks, right?"
Xu Ying asked for advice: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Xiaoke said: "You must choose the best seeds to grow leeks. The seeds you choose must be good, plump and planted well so that they have good growth prospects. Only then can the leeks that grow tall, juicy and fragrant."
Xu Ying nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Such good leek seeds should be rare, right?"
Li Xiaoke sighed: "So, those of us who are farming, if we can't find good seeds everywhere, we have to breed them first. Select some good seedlings from the leeks that have been planted and cut, and let them grow without cutting them.
, blossom and bear fruit. Then we will have good seeds. Instead of searching for good seeds in the mountains and fields, you might as well breed them yourself."
Xu Ying was thoughtful and looked at Xue Ying'an.
Xue Ying'an said excitedly: "Brother Xu, my master is very good at breeding!"
Xu Ying nodded, looked at Li Xiaoke, and asked, "What about after the breeding?"
Li Xiaoke said with a smile: "You still need to find a good land. This land needs to be fertile, with plenty of water, and with light to grow well. You also need to fertilize and take care of it frequently to avoid being ruined by wild beasts, especially
You need local pigs. Pigs like to harvest leeks. Before you have time to harvest them, the pigs will harvest the leeks that you have worked so hard to cultivate."
Xu Ying was thoughtful and looked at Xue Ying'an again.
Xue Ying'an's eyes were bright and he smiled and said: "Brother Xu, I think although the teacher is talking about growing leeks, there are many great principles of life in it."
Xu Ying nodded and said to Li Xiaoke: "What about after planting leeks?"
Li Xiaoke said: "After planting leeks, they are harvested. Leeks are perennial plants. Once you cut a leek, you leave it there and ignore it. It will grow on its own. After about twenty days, you can cut it again.
.You should choose to cut on a sunny day, not on a cloudy day. Cutting on a cloudy day will easily lead to root rot.”
He bowed down and taught Xu Ying how to cut leeks, saying: "For example, today is a sunny day. The leeks are very happy today. They grow very tall and tender, so they are suitable for cutting by hand. You don't want to cut them all at once, you have to save some."
Roots, leave some thoughts for the leeks. You left them so long."
He gestured with his fingers at the roots of the leeks, about three fingers high, and said: "The leeks will be very painful when cut to this position, but they will not hurt to death. Don't worry about them, they have strong vitality and will heal themselves in a short time."
itself, and then grow new shoots.”
Xu Ying was thoughtful and glanced at Xue Ying'an.
Li Xiaoke taught very seriously and said: "There is another trick, which is your knife. Your knife must be sharp enough, swing the knife fast enough, and draw the knife flat enough. Sharp, fast, flat,
In this way, the leeks you cut will not grow higher and lower, and the leeks will not die because of this."
Xu Ying said with a smile: "Although the leeks have complaints, because our knife is flat enough and everyone is cut neatly, they will not complain that we are unfair.
Li Xiaoke laughed and said: "Fellow Taoist Xu is indeed an old immortal. He can understand everything with just one point, and he can understand it as soon as he understands it! There is another procedure for cutting leeks!"
He smiled and said: "You have to sprinkle some ashes on the wounds of leeks, just plant ash, which can kill viruses, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing. When the wounds of leeks are healed, they will no longer hurt. Only then will they grow better!"
Xu Ying raised his head and looked at the surrounding leek fields and said with emotion: "No wonder this place is called Jiuciling. The mountain is not high, but there are immortals. Li Daoyou lives here and is good at growing and cutting leeks. It is best to name it after Jiuciling."
Li Xiaoke said with a smile: "If Taoist Xu thinks that the knowledge of leeks ends here, then he is superficial! The best thing about leeks is eating them."
He handed the sickle in his hand to Xue Ying'an, walked out of the leek field, and ordered several disciples on the ridge to come over, pick up the cut leeks, and take them to the mountain to hand over to the kitchen.
Li Xiaoke extended his hand to greet you and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Xu, you are very knowledgeable about eating leeks. You must first take good care of your own field, lest some unsighted people stare at your leeks and cut them for you."
Xu Ying nodded, clapped his hands and said: "So, you must mark your own one-third of an acre of land! First, you must put a mark on the leek field to tell others that this is your own leek field and you cannot touch it!"
Li Xiaoke said with a smile: "If someone comes to rob, first try to persuade them with good words. If you can't persuade them, then fight. After all, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Good leeks, you can eat them. Eat them raw, crispy and spicy, and they will stick to your throat. It’s still struggling when it’s inside, but it’s so delicious.”
His throat rolled, as if he couldn't wait, and said: "It's better to eat it cooked. It's enough to eat it raw once in a while. Cooked food is the right way. I recommend grilled leeks first.
He smiled and said: "Prepare the oil and salt sauce, string the leeks on skewers, brush them with the sauce, oil and salt, and roast them on the fire. Hey, they squeaked when they were roasted! Take a bite, and the corners of your mouth will
They are all flowing with golden oil, and their mouths are burning and a little hot."
An Qi's mouth watered at what he said, and he thought to himself: "Is Li Xiaoke talking about leeks?"
"If you don't like to eat it this way, you can also stir-fry it. You can stir-fry it with meat, you can stir-fry it with eggs, you can even stir-fry it, it has a wonderful meaty flavor, it's not meat, it's better than meat. It's okay.
Make dumplings, steam buns, bake flatbreads, add a lot of oil and salt, and they will be fragrant!"
Li Xiaoke said, “The best way to eat leeks is to eat them with vermicelli. Chop the vermicelli into small pieces and mix it with leeks. A bite of vermicelli and leeks will make you unable to sleep!
An Qi was confused and asked: "Senior Li, are you talking about leeks?"
Li Xiaoke laughed and said, "What do you think?"
An Qi smiled and said, "I thought you were talking about people."
Li Xiaoke lost his voice and said: "Isn't that cannibalism? How can it be unreasonable?"
Xu Ying asked: "Fellow Daoist Li, why do we cut leeks and eat them?"
Li Xiaoke smiled slightly and said: "Chives are delicious and easy to grow. Once you cut a crop of leeks, there will always be another crop. Eating leeks will strengthen your virility and improve our strength. Why not eat leeks?"
Xu Yingjian couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and asked, "Is it really leeks that Fellow Daoist Li is talking about?"
Li Xiaoke burst out laughing, shaking his sleeves, speeding up, striding up the mountain, and said leisurely: "Just think of it as a leek."
Still unable to conceal his excitement, the big bell quickly floated over and above Li Xiaoke's head, helping him block the sun.
Xu Ying pondered and followed him quickly.
Xue Ying'an rushed over from behind and said with a smile: "My master's speech is very philosophical, isn't it?"
Xu Ying said with emotion: "That's right. One word of respect from your teacher has made me better than ten years of studying."
An Qi couldn't help but said: "Ah Ying, you haven't studied for ten years, so don't flatter yourself. You only started studying when you followed me. You were unlearned and incompetent before."
The corners of Xu Ying's eyes trembled, and he thought to himself: "It's better not to decipher the circled Taoist text. Let's put it aside first."
When they came to the mountain, they saw that although the name of Jiucailing was a bit tacky, it was actually an extraordinary mountain with many strange pines and rocks, springs and waterfalls, and the mountain was also very steep.
The most peculiar thing is that there is a horizontal ridge in the mountains, spanning a canyon. The bottom of the canyon is unfathomable, and the other end of the canyon is hidden in thick fog.
Li Xiaoke walked in front, passed through the fog, and his figure disappeared. Xu Ying followed suit and walked through the fog. He felt as if he had passed through a thick space barrier, and his heart moved slightly.
When he walked out of the fog, he saw the setting sun hanging in the sky. This was another world!
At that time, Li Xiaoke's group of Qi Refiners had a connection between heaven and man, and established a connection with the mysterious and powerful beings from another world in the abyss. Those mysterious and powerful beings taught them more profound methods of empathy.
As a result, the Qi Refiners at that time combined with Nuo techniques, and developed the induction of heaven and humans, which caused the sky to twist, the earth torn apart, and the heaven and earth fell into the abyss.
Those mysterious and powerful beings are different from the gods in the heaven, and people call them alien gods.
Xu Ying stopped and looked at this different world. He saw that the other half of Jiucailing was inserted from the sky and hanging down diagonally. It was still more than ten miles away from the ground in the other world!
He looked into the distance, and in the distant sky there were mountains, lakes, and even oceans appearing in the broken sky of another world.
The sky was not blue, but red and black like blood.
The air here is also very dirty, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur. Breathing it will make people feel uncomfortable in the throat.
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here seems to be extremely thin."
Xu Ying sensed that he could hardly sense any spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and even the setting sun did not have much essence of the sun!
The world where Jiucailing is located seems to be completely unsuitable for cultivation!
"Could it be that those qi masters who sealed the world back then were also other people's leeks?" He thought to himself.
