Chapter 215 The Girl Who Kills Demons and Eliminates Demons
The one who kept staring at Qi Yuan was the little girl. Her name was Li Ying'er.
In fact, except for a few people with foreign surnames, most of the people in this village have the surname Li, and many families are related by blood.
The village elder asked respectfully: "I haven't asked the Taoist priest how to address me yet? I don't even know the name of my benefactor. It's really rude."
After Qi Yuan killed the black bear spirits earlier, he immediately went to help them find the children, so he hadn't asked their names yet.
Qi Yuan smiled slightly and said: "I'm a poor Taoist, Qi Baimei, you don't need to be so polite."
Just when he thought he was about to receive another wave of admiration from the people, he found that these villagers were completely indifferent after hearing his name, and did not express any respect for him.
"It turned out to be Taoist Priest Qi. Our Li family village suffered such a disaster today. Fortunately, the Taoist Priest helped us. Otherwise, there would have been heavy casualties. Even those who survived would have to seek refuge in other villages to survive.
You are so kind to me, but I can't repay you. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."
After the village elder said these words, the other villagers nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, fortunately the Taoist priest arrived in time."
"The Taoist Priest's life-saving grace will be unforgettable to me."
On the other hand, the middle-aged man on the side looked puzzled. After pondering for a moment, he asked cautiously: "The Taoist priest's name has the same name as the White-Eyebrowed Sage. Can I ask if the White-Eyebrowed Sage is in person?"
"oh?"
Qi Yuan glanced at this middle-aged man, he was the most powerful man in the whole village.
He smiled and asked: "Why, have you heard of my name?"
"It is true that the sage is in person. Please forgive me for not being able to recognize Taishan. I didn't recognize the sage before."
The middle-aged man raised his hands and said: "My name is Li Pin. I served as a deputy general under General Zhang Guifang in my early years. However, after the general was defeated, I was unwilling to surrender to Xiqi, so I returned to my hometown.
I had heard of the reputation of the sage back then, but I never had the chance to meet him. I never expected that the person who saved our village today would be the sage. I am truly lucky!"
The villagers were shocked and asked questions quickly.
After Li Pin popularized Qi Yuan's virtuous reputation in the outside world to the clan members, everyone realized that the Taoist in front of them who saved their village was actually a human sage.
As a result, their enthusiasm for Qi Yuan suddenly increased to a new level.
After all, their village is somewhat remote, and many villagers have not gone out for several years.
Even if he went out, he would only exchange for some daily necessities in nearby towns, so he had never heard of Qi Yuan's reputation.
Li Pin went out to join the army in his early years. Compared with these tribesmen, he can be regarded as a rare and well-informed person.
After knowing Qi Yuan's reputation, the villagers were very excited. After all, for them, it was a great honor for a sage to come to their village.
So each household spontaneously brought out the best things at home to entertain Qi Yuan.
However, the so-called good things were just some stored chicken and bacon. Seeing that several families even killed chickens and sheep to entertain Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan quickly stopped them.
These people living in the mountains are not rich, and Qi Yuan is not greedy for their food. Besides, those black bear spirits are ready-made meat, so why should they spend more money.
Since the people here have never heard of his reputation before, they must have never learned the cooking skills he taught them.
This can be seen from the fact that they simply put food on the fire and use two methods: roasting and boiling.
Anyway, it would take a few days for Yang Chan to come out from her retreat, so Qi Yuan was not in a hurry to go back, so he took advantage of this time to teach them cooking skills, which could be regarded as doing something for these villagers.
There are not many fields suitable for planting in the mountains. Many times, because there is not enough food to eat, these villagers have to hunt and fish to make ends meet.
Qi Yuan plans to teach them how to identify more wild vegetables and herbs.
Wild vegetables are edible, which is enough for them to get through the lean stage when food is scarce.
Herbal medicines are even more useful. They can not only heal injuries and diseases, but can also be used as medicinal foods to replenish physical strength and strengthen the body. Only when the body is stronger can we hunt more prey.
Therefore, it is still necessary for these people living in the mountains to know more about herbal medicine.
Those black bears were huge in size, and the meat on their bodies was fat enough to keep these villagers fed for a while.
However, these black bears have become demonic beings after all. If they are simply cooked and eaten, the effect will not be very good.
In order not to waste the ingredients, Qi Yuan simply took matters into his own hands and stewed a large pot of bear meat for them in the Dragon Pattern Ruyi Pot.
Not only is the aroma fragrant, the taste is far better than the barbecue made by these villagers, but he also added several elixirs that are hundreds of years old, which, combined with the not much spiritual energy in these black bears, are just right for these villagers.
Replenish your body.
I believe that after these villagers eat this meal, not only will some old diseases in their bodies be cured, but their physical fitness will also improve a lot, and they will rarely get sick again in the future.
A group of people gathered around Qi Yuan's dragon-patterned Ruyi pot and marveled at it. They felt that the Immortal family's methods were really powerful, and they could actually cook meals for hundreds of people in one pot.
Especially the fragrance emanating from it made these villagers salivate.
There were a few greedy children who bit their fingers and drooled, making the clothes on their chests wet.
After the meal was ready, a group of people took bowls and chopsticks and ate until they could eat no more.
Others were fine with it, but Li Pinnai was a real military commander. He could clearly feel that the food in his stomach was turning into a warm current that slowly moisturized his body, and even a few old things in his body.
The wounds are itching and showing signs of improvement.
This surprised and delighted him.
Sure enough, a sage is a sage, and simply cooking a meal can benefit him immensely.
By the time we finished the meal, it was getting late, and the sky was full of bright stars, which was extremely beautiful.
Several bonfires were raised in the open space in the village, illuminating the simple and satisfied smiling faces.
The villagers chatted happily around Qi Yuan, as if they had countless problems for a while. It was not until the moon was high that they went home to rest under the scolding of the village elder.
Then the village elder vacated his best house, cleaned it, and let Qi Yuan rest.
The village elder's home is right next to it, so it's very convenient.
"Why don't you go back?"
Qi Yuan looked at the girl who had been staring at him eagerly and asked curiously.
He had noticed before that there was something strange about this girl.
Although there were quite a few villagers staring at her, there were very few who stared at her as directly as she did.
The girl walked up to him, raised her little face as big as a palm, and asked: "Taoist Master, I saw that when you killed the black bear spirit today, you were as relaxed and casual as chopping melons and vegetables. I believe your swordsmanship must be very powerful.
Bar?"
He didn't expect to be praised by this girl for his great swordsmanship. After hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but blush slightly.
Although Zhao Gongming had taught him some martial arts and he had also learned swordsmanship, these required years of practice.
He himself is not a martial arts wizard, and he puts most of his thoughts on the spiritual chef. His martial arts and swordsmanship are not outstanding.
To be honest, Qi Yi is much better than him.
Qi Yuan suppressed the embarrassment in his heart and nodded confidently: "It's not bad. It's not difficult to deal with these little monsters."
The girl's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Taoist Priest, can I become your teacher?"
"oh?"
Qi Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Why, you also want to learn cooking from me. You don't need to be a teacher for this. Just come over tomorrow and I will teach you both."
"no."
The girl shook her head: "I don't want to learn cooking skills from you, but I want to learn swordsmanship from you."
Qi Yuan was stunned: "Learning swordsmanship?"
"good."
The girl nodded, her eyes full of expectation.
"Why do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Qi Yuan asked in confusion.
"My parents were killed by monsters back then."
The girl said firmly: "That's why I want to kill all the monsters in the world so that monsters can no longer harm people."
"Well……"
Qi Yuan was speechless. This girl was a bit too middle-class.
You also killed all the demons in the world. Are all the demons in the world like these bear demons today? Are they all so weak?
Not to mention the ancient great demons hidden in the ancient world, even among the demon kings currently active in various places in the ancient world, none of them are like Yi.
Moreover, there are countless demon clans in the world. Even though humans are now the protagonists of heaven and earth and are recognized by heaven, if we talk about their numbers, the number of demon clans is actually much greater than that of humans.
This girl is really ignorant and fearless. How dare she say such stupid words?
"Nonsense."
Li Pin walked over quickly and scolded his niece: "Do you know how many demon clans there are in this world, how dare you say such a thing?"
After all, Li Pin had served as a general in the army and had seen some things in the world. Of course he knew that monsters were not easy to deal with. He knew that his niece hated monsters in her heart, but he did not expect that this girl would be so extreme.
He then said apologetically to Qi Yuan: "Don't blame the sage, because my brother and sister-in-law were both killed by monsters, so this girl has hated monsters since she was a child, so she is talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart.
"
"It doesn't matter."
Qi Yuan waved his hands, feeling as if there was something important that he had not remembered. This feeling had appeared in his mind before.
But, what exactly is going on?
Qi Yuan frowned slightly. After thinking hard, he had to give up and said to the girl: "Killing monsters to protect our human race is a good thing, but why do you think of learning swordsmanship from me? After all, you can kill monsters.
Are there many ways?"
In the world of spiritual practice, swordsmanship is only a means of close combat for qigong practitioners. When it comes to killing monsters, many magical powers are more efficient.
The girl blinked her eyes and said: "I saw that your swordsmanship is amazing, so I want to learn swordsmanship from you. In the future, I hope to be able to kill demons and demons with a sword like you."
After all, she is just a little girl living in a village. She is only eleven or twelve years old now, and she actually knows nothing about the practice of a Qi practitioner.
Just seeing Qi Yuan kill monsters with swordsmanship, I naturally thought that Qi Yuan's swordsmanship was great and wanted to learn swordsmanship from him.
"kendo?"
Qi Yuan frowned and murmured to himself: "Slay demons?"
After a while, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered what he had forgotten.
After thinking about this matter, his heart suddenly became enlightened and he couldn't help laughing.
Then, with the baffled look in the girl's eyes, he reached out and patted her head three times, turned around and walked towards the house arranged for him by the village elder.
