"Brother! Try the rice and beans I baked! It's delicious!"
Wang Nian held a piece of yellowed lotus leaf in front of Zhang Yan. On the lotus leaf were ripe rice beans. The fragrance of the lotus leaf and the beans were emitted.
The so-called baked beans are somewhat similar to the beggar's chicken that Zhang Yan had eaten when he was on Earth. Wrap the beans in lotus leaves with mud, then bake them in a fire. When they are cooked, smash the mud and take out the lotus leaves inside.
, you can enjoy delicious food. This simple but unique cooking method is also very common in the wilderness. Especially when traveling in the wild, it is often used as an emergency cooking method.
Wang Nian grew up in Zhuangzi. The most indispensable thing there is skinny monkeys like him. He climbs mountains and ponds, climbs trees and drills holes. He feels uncomfortable if he doesn't peel them off. He secretly digs beans from other people's fields.
Not daring to take it home, a few mischievous people found a deserted place and used this method of roasting rice and beans to bake it and share it. They were very happy.
So this move once again frightened "little wood" Yang Rui, a prince who had "never seen the world", into a daze.
Zhang Yan picked up a bean and tasted it. It was really good. Although there was no salt, the beans had a rich flavor and could be used to satisfy hunger or as a light snack.
"It seems that you have a good grasp of the heat." While eating, Zhang Yan became more concerned when Wang Nian finally didn't burn the beans this time.
Can the skinned monkey who often does this kind of thing in Zhuangzi burn the rice and beans?
It won't be scorched, but it's different if the fire used is not firewood but the Five Elements Fire Method. At least when Wang Nian first started, let alone grilling things, a slightly larger fire method would burn himself.
.In the end, even a large chunk of his hair was burnt bald, and then he calmed down after learning from the pain and honestly followed Zhang Yan's instructions to learn the firebending skills first and then think about showing off.
But Zhang Yan also had to admit that the physiques of Qinhe and the Five Elements Fire Attribute were indeed different. Wang Nian's fire control skills progressed very quickly after practicing. Although he was not able to do any tricks, he could already do it with ordinary fire skills.
It can be retracted and retracted freely and details can be controlled midway.
Roasted Rice and Douzi was Zhang Yan's idea for Wang Nian, so that he could actually test his fire control and fire skills. Now it seems that it has basically met the requirements. It also means that Wang Nian can continue to practice in the future.
Deeper Five Elements Fire Dharma.
However, compared to his extraordinary talents in fire control and five elements of fire, Wang Nian's performance in talismans seemed very eye-catching.
This kid can't even calm down to draw a talisman. Simple talismans are okay, but for a slightly more complicated talisman, his hand will always start to lose control of the pen after half the drawing, or he will start to lose focus, causing the talisman to fall short. He was punished by Zhang Yan
I tried it several times but there was still little change.
Just like a partial subject, although Wang Nian was interested in the effect of the talisman, he was not interested in the process of drawing it.
On the contrary, Yang Rui, who was nicknamed "Little Wood" by Wang Nian, was very talented in drawing talismans. This was also the time when Wang Nian wanted to be lazy and asked Yang Rui, who had not yet been exposed to talisman drawing, to help him "do his homework".
, but it was discovered after Zhang Yan saw through it. That time Yang Rui was punished for helping others "be lazy", and he tasted the fun of the golden hoop. From then on, he became more discerning and understood that his identity as a prince was in the eyes of the teacher.
They will not be taken care of here, and they will be treated the same as "Brother Shitou".
Although he was punished, Yang Rui made an exception because of his accidentally exposed talent for talismans, and asked Zhang Yan to make an exception to let him familiarize himself with the drawing of talismans in advance. Now that the spiritual energy has not yet formed a group, he can only draw some of the most basic things such as the spirit gathering talisman.
The talismans should be used as a warm-up for Yang Rui. When the spiritual energy forms into a group and enters the stage of entrainment, Yang Rui should be able to bring him many surprises.
After eating the baked rice and beans, the group continued on the road. They almost never entered the city along the way. They were all running all the way. When they arrived at the inn, they took a short rest and then changed horses and continued on the road. So what is the so-called customs and customs along the road? Zhang Yan is
I didn't see any of it, but I did eat a lot of game. Yang Rui's guards who were traveling with him hunted it for dinner at night. In their opinion, the Thirteenth Prince had suffered too much along the way.
Zhang Yan saw it all, and he understood the courtesy of the guards. After all, in the eyes of others, the thirteenth prince who was originally down and out suddenly had great luck. In the future, if he succeeds in his studies, he will definitely be able to succeed to the throne, not to mention inheriting the throne.
A prince with real power. If he follows him from now on, wouldn't that be the result of following the tiger? In the future, when the young tiger grows up, he will have to think of them and protect his wealth. Isn't it difficult?
But Zhang Yan feels that these people's wishes are likely to come true in the end. Yang Rui has a cold temperament, which is most suitable for Taoist practice. Even in terms of character, Yang Rui is even more suitable for Taoist practice than Zhang Yan. Even for "
"Enlightenment" has a natural acumen and interest. From the fact that Yang Rui always asked questions before, we can see how interested he is in those weird "principles". Now he is still "interested", and maybe he will be in the future.
Immerse yourself in it.
There are too many mysterious things on the way to the Tao. One can realize the Tao by wallowing in the world of mortals, and one can realize the Tao with a pure heart and few desires. Almost all of the available paths are closely related to one’s mind. In Zhang Yan’s opinion, the higher one goes in one’s practice, Yang Rui has a high chance of attaining the Tao.
He would choose the path of being pure and stoic. When the time comes, let alone the world of mortals, even the imperial power would be hard-pressed to arouse Yang Rui's interest. How could he protect the wealth of these guards?
Wang Nian, on the other hand, has a restless mind and is more likely to enter the world of mortals in the future. He will inevitably have to struggle a lot to find his own path.
When Zhang Yan thinks about this, he always smiles self-deprecatingly. It seems easy to see other people's ways. But what about his own way? He is now in the early stage of the divine realm, but he still can't see his own way clearly. It's always easy to see his own way.
Something vague appeared in front of him, but if he tried to clear it away, it would be blurred together with the essence he wanted to see.
"What is my Tao?" This is Zhang Yan's first obsession with practice since he came to the Wild Sky Realm. It is also something he must understand. This is related to his future.
Which way to go.
Zhang Yan began to sit on the carriage with his eyes closed and meditative. The two children got together and chatted. When they got tired, they would lie on the window and look out. They would be happy for a long time when they saw a cow.
When they were really sleepy, they leaned on the couch in the car and fell asleep. The fatigue of traveling and traveling was hard for them to notice.
After more than half a month of frantic driving, and even changing boats along the way, we finally arrived at the boundary of Yuanding.
Entering the realm of Yuanding, we traveled for two more days.
"Zhang Jiaoxi, you can see the imperial city after passing the pass in front." The leader of the guards came over to explain the situation.
However, Zhang Yan nodded, raised his chin, and said, "There seems to be an aura of masters waiting in front of you. Are they the ones you are responding to over there?"
