"This is today's pig water. It has been washed for you!"
At the foot of a courtyard with low walls, the butcher stopped his cart and poured a whole set of pig meat into the wooden bucket carried by Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan counted out twenty copper coins and handed them to the butcher. The butcher suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, Dao Zhang, for the reward! Thank you, Dao Zhang, for the reward!"
He carefully put the copper coins into the belt around his waist, pushed the cart and left.
The pork, pig's trotters, pork knuckles, fat, etc. on the cart were swaying, and when the sparse sunlight in the forest was illuminated, they reflected a lustrous light that made your index fingers wide open.
Recently, whenever a butcher kills a new pig, before going to the market to sell it, he has to stop at the Partridge Temple and wait for Ye Xuan to buy the pig.
These days few people eat pig offal, and the butcher and his family often have to digest it themselves.
Ye Xuan of Partridge Temple undoubtedly provided a stable market for Hu Butcher's pigs.
Ye Xuan watched the butcher Hu leave, weighing the bucket filled with sewer in his hand with a smile on his face.
It's quite heavy and can be used by myself for three to five days.
Ye Xuandi walked up the stairs with a wooden bucket, walked into the two gates of the Partridge Temple with mottled vermilion paint and the door knockers dyed green, passed through the main hall opposite the gate, and arrived at a small courtyard surrounded by several houses.
At this time, there were two people in Taoist robes walking around in the courtyard, holding hands behind their backs. When they saw Ye Xuan coming back with a wooden bucket, their eyes lit up and they quickly approached Ye Xuan.
Among them, the one who was as tall and thin as a bamboo pole stretched his head to look at the contents of the barrel and said at the same time: "Junior brother, are you going to buy meat?"
The short companion said nothing, and kept looking into the barrel with his green bean eyes.
When they saw clearly that the pigs in the barrel were in the water, they couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Junior brother, your family is not that bad. With all the money your parents gave you for your cultivation, you can't even afford a pound of meat. Why should you eat these unclean things?" The short man looked disgusted and made no secret of his disdain for pigs.
In disgust, the nasal passages are covered.
The Taoist Zhugan on the side also nodded in agreement: "Junior brother, practicing the boxing techniques of refining muscles, bones and skin outside our sect always consumes energy. How can you replenish the energy consumed by just eating these things?"
In their view, the pig's urine is obviously not considered meat, and they even think that the pig's urine is unclean and cannot be eaten.
People in this world didn't know the benefits of pork belly and fat intestines, and Ye Xuan had no obligation to explain it to them. He just lowered his head and pretended to be honest with a smile, not taking the words of the two 'senior brothers' to heart at all.
After Ye Xuan traveled through time, these two so-called senior brothers lived in Partridge Temple, eating and drinking every day, eating well and being lazy.
Previously, Ye Xuan had not fully integrated the memory of the original owner, so he could not figure out the situation for the time being, so he entertained the two of them with delicious food and drinks. Later, after the memory was completely integrated, it was discovered that these two brothers just thought that the original owner had a good family background, and the original owner was stupid.
If you are bullied, come and eat for free.
From then on, Ye Xuan refused to give the two of them good food and drink, pretending to be honest, but in fact, he always made the two of them run into obstacles. In the past, there was only one meat dish for every meal, but now he only provides porridge and pickles. After three or five days,
The two senior brothers finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Ye Xuan automatically put aside the complaints from the two of them, fished out the pig lungs from the barrel, walked to the water tank in the corner of the yard, loosened his palms, and the dark red pig lungs fell into the tank with a clatter.
A few bloody water drops.
There were some tiles and stones stacked on top of each other at the bottom of the water tank. Two fish that looked like loaches swung their tails and squirmed in and out of the cracks in the tiles and stones. They were slowly pressed down by the huge pig lungs without being disturbed at all.
However, Ye Xuan's two senior brothers couldn't help but feel even more angry when they saw this.
The short Taoist walked to the water tank, looked at the two loaches swimming in the tank, and sneered: "Junior brother, do you think these two little loaches of yours are dragons? Can they eat such a large set of pig lungs?"
"Yesterday I fed a little bit of meat as big as a finger, yesterday I fed a lump of meat as big as a fist, and today I feed a whole pair of pig lungs..." Zhugan Taoist also curled his lips and ridiculed, "I don't know what kind of fish can eat so fast.
!”
Ye Xuan scratched his head and looked at the two 'loaches' hidden in the crevices of the rocks at the bottom of the water, and said with a naive smile: "Two masters, that's what the senior brother said!
What I am raising is not a dragon, nor a fish.
I am a real dragon!"
It has been a regular routine for the two of them to ridicule Ye Xuan in front of the water tank in the early morning for the past two days. When they heard Ye Xuan repeat what he said yesterday, they didn't find it funny at all. Instead, they thought that their IQ was insulted by this bastard, and they both looked livid.
Before leaving the water tank one after another.
The short man walked towards the house facing north, with the bamboo pole following behind him, and Ye Xuan hanging at the end far away.
He turned to Ye Xuan, who was at the end and said: "After checking that the temple-protecting god you raised has entered the country today, the two of us will return to the master's gate to resume our lives.
Junior brother, if you are alone in this Partridge Temple from now on, you have to think carefully.
All the work in the ten miles and eight towns falls on you, you must do your best to avoid ruining the reputation of our Yinxian Sect!"
Ye Xuan and these two people are both outer disciples of the Yinxian Sect, the largest sect within a hundred miles.
Judging from the name Yinxian Sect, this sect seems to be both righteous and evil, but in fact it is also a righteous sect.
The outer disciples of the Yinxian Sect are scattered in various Taoist temples within a radius of hundreds of miles, providing shelter for the surrounding people and often doing things like sending the dead back home.
In order for the outer disciples to have the ability to protect themselves, the master sect will sacrifice and refine the temple guardian god to give to the disciples to act as guards and coolies. At the same time, the progress of the temple guardian god's sacrifice will be used as the annual assessment question for the outer disciples.
When Ye Xuan heard that the two of them were leaving, he was happy in his heart, but he had a look of reluctance on his face. He said calmly: "Master, senior brother, stay and eat. Let's go after lunch. Let's cook a piece of intestines for lunch...
"
"Okay!" Thinking of the appearance of a piece of pig intestine floating in the oily water, the short man immediately wanted to vomit. He interrupted Ye Xuan impatiently and pushed the door open and walked into the morgue.
As soon as the door of the room opened, a burst of air-conditioning hit our faces, so cold that the three of them suddenly woke up.
The windows of the house are boarded up and there is no ventilation, but it is still so cold inside. This is actually because the house is too dark and the corpse air has accumulated.
Three coffins were parked in the house, and only one contained a corpse, which was the temple protector refined by Ye Xuan earlier.
Ye Xuan came through time travel and really couldn't accept things like corpses. During this month, he only maintained the basic needs of the temple guardian according to the secret method of Yinxian Sect, so that it would not get out of control and harm the people around him.
.
Short people are used to this.
He pushed open the coffin lid, and a neatly dressed temple guardian came into view.
This man had a rough face, and his fangs had stuck out half a finger from his upper lip. The short man opened his eyelids and saw green gathering in the whites of his eyes. He shook his head and scolded Ye Xuan next to him: "More than a year has passed.
How come you, a god, are still at the level of a walking zombie? You are a long way from green zombies!
You, Senior Brother Zhu, now that the walking corpse has become a green zombie, I have gone through great pains to find the corpse of a centuries-old warrior and made it into a purple zombie, which has the ability to deter evil spirits..."
He began to chatter endlessly.
Ye Xuan responded submissively on the surface, but in his heart he curled his lips.
From the memory of the original owner, he knew that Brother Zhu, that is, the bamboo pole brother, spent eight years refining the temple protector to the level of green zombie. The short man only used it to find the corpses of centuries-old warriors.
It took nearly three years and another twelve years to refine it.
These two people look young, but they are actually in their forties!
You are not ashamed to compare me, a newbie, with you two old men.
Fortunately, after the short man scolded him, he finally felt a lot less angry and left the house with the bamboo pole. Ye Xuan finally closed the door.
The short man and the bamboo pole packed their luggage and carried a bag on their backs. They passed by the water tank in the yard and took a look inside. They saw that the pig's lungs were still pressed quietly at the bottom of the tank, and the two small fish were gone.
Hearing the movement, he couldn't help but sneered: "Junior brother, you are a true dragon that is probably choked by food and is about to ascend to heaven!"
Zhugan tilted his mouth and said: "Yesterday, we didn't see a real dragon eating a piece of pork as big as a fist. Why did it disappear the next day? Could it be that junior brother secretly picked it up in the middle of the night, cooked it and ate it?"
"Hey hey hey...it's a dragon, the dragon ate it." Ye Xuan scratched his head and pointed at the water tank and said.
Seeing this, the two of them had no intention of mocking him anymore and walked through the main hall and out of the temple gate.
Watching the two figures disappear gradually, Ye Xuan turned around and returned to the courtyard.
He stood in front of the water tank, picked up a wooden stick, knocked on the edge of the tank, and whispered: "Eat it."
I saw that Ye Xuan's eyes were lively, his face was calm, and his temperament was gentle. How could he still look half-assed and stupid?
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound like thunder in the water tank!
Boom! Boom!
The thunder rumbled, but it was confined to the area around the water tank and did not spread to the small courtyard at all.
The piece of pig lung in the vat instantly disintegrated into pure blood amid the thunder, dyeing all the water in the vat blood red.
Two loach-like fish floated and sank among them, opening their mouths to swallow the blood. After a while, the blood in the tank faded away and turned into slightly turbid water.
Two small fish emerged from the water and exposed their heads. Their heads were like snakes, their ears were like cows, their horns were like deer, and their eyes were golden. They clearly looked like dragons!
They opened their mouths slightly and exhaled two streams of white air, which were all absorbed by an object in Ye Xuan's arms.
After exhaling white air, their spirits became much more depressed, and there was a rumble of thunder in their mouths, and then their smart eyes showed the look of cubs asking for food from their mothers.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to support you..." Ye Xuan curled his lips helplessly, turned to the kitchen, came out with a pig's heart, and threw it into the water tank.
The two little dragons disappeared into the water and made cheerful thunder sounds again.
Ye Xuan silently compared their figures and found that they were only a little longer than yesterday...
Yesterday, I only had to eat a piece of meat as big as my fist. Today, I have to eat a pair of pig hearts and lungs... Will I have to eat a whole pig in a few days?
Ye Xuan thought with pain and joy, moved a stool and sat down in front of the main room, and took out a seal as big as a baby's fist from his arms.
Turn the seal over and there are four patterns engraved on it.
For example, birds and snakes may intersect, run side by side, or surround each other, forming different images.
