1458. The Dignity of the Heavenly Palace
In an environment like today's earth, the process of cultivation is like collecting water in a dry desert.
Every battle is a waste.
After consumption, it must be replenished quickly.
It's like a car that needs to be refueled after a certain mileage.
In the Age of Dharma Ending, this is the common pain shared by countless mortal warriors on earth.
There is no shortage of people with excellent qualifications in this vast world. ’
It's a pity that I was born in the wrong era.
Of course, there are also training resources.
Such as spiritual stones.
But most of them are controlled through official channels, or some aristocratic families and sects with inheritance.
These forces can communicate with otherworldly secret realms.
Through resource exchange, what is needed can be exchanged.
People like Li Mu, who have cultivated their abilities in this Dharma-ending land purely by relying on their heaven-defying skills and experience.
But no matter how contrary to heaven, we still have to follow the rules of the universe.
Therefore, during the battle at the abandoned grass skating ground in the Qinling Mountains, a lot of the real energy accumulated in Li Mu's body was also consumed.
Fortunately, there are spiritual stones to replenish.
"I can feel that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is slowly recovering, increasing every day."
"If I'm not wrong, at this time in the last life, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the earth was also recovering."
"Comparatively speaking, the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy in Randengsi Village is higher than that in Baoji City."
"In other words, the closer you get to the Qinling Mountains, the more spiritual energy there will be."
"The spiritual energy leaks from the Qinling Mountains."
"It may have something to do with the strange sound of rolling thunder that day."
"According to what Qin Baxuan said, among the top ten unworldly secret realms, the secret realm in the Qinling Mountains ranks first. Maybe all these changes are related to the secret realm in the Qinling Mountains?"
Li Mu guessed.
"Xiao Mu, mom told you to go home for dinner."
Li Jianzhen shouted at the door.
"okay."
Li Mu rode on the tree and agreed, looking in the direction of the village entrance.
A red Wrangler modified car was passing through the four-character plaque of 'Young Ancestor's Legacy' and heading towards the village.
He smiled.
What was supposed to come finally came.
Jump down from the tree and go home for dinner.
Halfway through the meal, there was the sound of an engine at the door.
Then it became quiet again.
Li Mu could clearly sense that the red modified Wrangler was parked at the door.
But the man and woman sitting in the car did not get out of the car.
They sat in the car as if waiting for something quietly.
Motive unknown.
Li Mu didn't bother to pay attention.
The family sat at the dining table in the courtyard to eat.
Although Aunt Yun is a fake Shaanxi native, she can be said to be the only one in the entire Randen Temple to make steamed noodles. Many mothers who have been eating and making noodles for thirty or fifty years cannot compare to her. Aunt Yun’s craftsmanship.
Li Mulian ate twelve small bowls in a row.
Li Jianzhen was also sweating profusely after eating.
Shaanxi's steamed noodles are divided into large bowls and small bowls. The truly authentic ones are all small bowls, which is called "a mouthful of fragrance".
There is just a mouthful of noodles in a small bowl, and you only eat the noodles, not the soup. After eating, you don’t need the soup, just put the noodles again, and pour the soup again. The noodles are hand-rolled, and the soup contains green leeks, orange diced carrots, white Diced potatoes, red meat sauce, oily and spicy seeds, poured with old vinegar...
After one sip, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth.
Li Mu was good at this in his last life.
In this life, I like it even more.
I ate twenty bowls in one go.
"This kid... eat less, don't fill up your stomach." Li Hua said with a smile.
As an adult, he had only eaten ten bowls.
As the saying goes, a half-grown man will live in poverty.
The saying is true.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
Li Hua turned around and looked.
Just saw a young man and woman standing outside the door.
The man is about twenty-five or six years old, with short black hair, an upright face, and a serious look. Although he is young, he gives off the aura of an old cadre. He is wearing a wrinkle-free black woolen tunic suit, black leather shoes, and a A pure black cloak with light gold laces, which is extremely conspicuous against the black background.
What was even more eye-catching was the woman beside him.
A woman in her mid-twenties is in her most beautiful years, with sleek short hair, delicate facial features, wheat complexion, flaming red lips, sunglasses lifted up and buckled on her forehead, and a tight black leather jacket, which makes her hot and sexy The figure is perfectly set off, with an astonishing hot beauty.
Such two people, at first glance, are not ordinary people.
On weekdays, such characters are not seen in Randen Temple Village.
Li Hua was stunned and looked at Li Mu subconsciously.
Since his peaceful life was broken, Li Hua has gradually adapted to the special status of his wife and stepson, so he immediately associated the purpose of these two people with Li Mu.
"Who are you?"
Li Jianzhen asked directly without saying anything.
The young man crossed the threshold and walked in. From the beginning, his eyes were fixed on Li Mu and said, "I came to talk to you."
Li Mu picked up the noodles with chopsticks and after finishing the twenty-first bowl of 'One Fragrance', he raised his eyes and glanced at the young man.
Leng Fan.
The director of the Shaanxi branch of Tiandian.
His voice was exactly the same as the voice that came from Zeng Jiankong's cell phone last night.
Li Mu judged it as soon as he heard it.
To be honest, compared to the maniacal attitude on the phone, the real Leng Fan in front of him gave Li Mu a completely different feeling.
This young man is like a silent iceberg, calm and tenacious, but also has a sense of reliability and trustworthiness, but does not have the arrogance on the phone.
"Are you Xiao Mu's friend? Come and sit down. Have you eaten? Have a bite?"
Li Hua has the unique simplicity and enthusiasm of rural people. He stood up and said hello with a smile.
"I just want to talk to him alone."
Leng Fan pointed at Li Mu.
Li Mu snorted coldly and said, "Our family hasn't finished eating yet."
Leng Fan frowned.
But it was the lady in leather clothes next to her who gently pulled Leng Fan's back hem, then smiled broadly and said: "Ah, I smelled it outside. It smells so good. Such fragrant noodles are so delicious in the province." I’ve never seen it before in Chengdu, hehe, uncle, aunt, can you serve us two bowls and we can pay for it.”
He looked familiar.
Li Mu said nothing more.
Aunt Yun said: "Sit down."
After a while, six small bowls of saozi noodles were served on a lacquered wooden plate.
"My name is Kaka, and this is my immediate boss Leng Fan."
The beautiful lady Kaka made a simple introduction to herself, then picked up a bowl and started eating. The first noodle entered her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up. The beauty emanating from her expression at that moment was like a Like a rose blooming fiercely.
She took a long breath: "Ah, it smells so good."
I ate five bowls in one go.
Only one bowl was left for Leng Fan.
Leng Fan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bowl and picked up a chopstick of noodles.
After taking a bite, he was startled, and then he ate all the noodles in the bowl without hesitation. He also drank the saozi soup that he shouldn't have drank in the first place. He also drank the leeks at the bottom of the bowl with chopsticks. Carefully pick them up one by one and eat them.
Then put the bowl down.
"I want to talk to you."
Leng Fan stared at Li Mu.
This is the third time he has said the same thing.
Li Mu rubbed his eyebrows.
What a boring person.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it." Li Mu said.
Leng Fan shook his head: "I want to talk to you alone."
Are you... a repeater?
Li Mu was speechless.
"Xiao Mu, your dad and I are going to play mahjong in the square. Xiao Jian, you go with us."
Aunt Yun left with Li Hua and Li Jianzhen.
Li Mu stood up, put away the dishes, and said, "Okay, I'm alone now. If you have anything to say, you can tell me."
Leng Fan also stood up and was speechless for a while watching Li Mu step on the small bench and wash pots and dishes in the sink.
A martial arts master who washes dishes and pots on a small bench?
He paused and said: "You must already know my identity. A martial arts master has a respected status in the country that ordinary people cannot imagine. Generally speaking, for ancient warriors, especially those who have reached the realm of martial arts masters, There is no binding force, but the people who killed my Heavenly Palace are not included in this list. Even if they are martial arts masters, they must give me an explanation."
Li Mu said calmly: "Explain? Okay, tell me, what explanation do you want?"
Leng Fan said: "I want to know why you killed him?"
Li Mu said: "It's simple, because he deserves to die."
"Why should you die?"
"this……"
Li Mu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and turned around.
"Since you asked the question sincerely, I am very merciful... Ah, I want to ask you a question, when did your Heavenly Palace collude with the people in Kunlun?"
He told everything Zeng Jiankong had done.
After listening, Leng Fan glanced at Kaka.
Kaka shook his head and said: "I don't know about this matter, and the peripheral soldiers and snipers led by Zeng Jiankong don't know much either. They just obey orders. The Temple of Heaven is highly disciplined, and subordinates will not question the orders of their superiors. "
"If that's the case, then he deserves to die."
Leng Fan said.
Li Mu turned around and continued to wash the dishes: "Okay, I'll just say this to you, forget it, I won't pursue this matter anymore."
The beautiful lady was speechless.
Leng Fan said: "But if he deserves to die, it should be handled by our Heavenly Palace instead of dying in your hands. A martial arts master cannot ignore the dignity of the Heavenly Palace."
Li Mu washed the last bowl and turned around.
"Oh, you people are just annoying."
He looked at Leng Fan and said: "Dignity is earned by oneself, not given by others. If you don't manage your own people well, you will lose face, but you want others to give you dignity. I'm really embarrassed... Let's do this. Since you want to maintain the dignity of the Heavenly Palace, how about we make a bet?"
Leng Fan shook his head: "I never do such things that don't matter if I'm hungry."
Li Mu said: "No bet? Do you go out on your own, or do I invite you out?"
Leng Fan frowned.
The beautiful lady Kaka quickly said: "I think you can bet, but I don't know, what is your bet?"
Leng Fan looked at her.
Kaka said: "Listen first and then speak."
Leng Fan stopped talking.
Li Mu said: "It's very simple. No matter who you two are, as long as you can catch the power of my finger, then I will give you dignity as much as you want. If you can't catch it, hahaha, then I will give you dignity." How about you do something for me?"
