Chapter 175: Finishing the Job, the Danger of Forced Projection

The Shennong projected his left palm into the water, penetrating its body without any hindrance, and a dark red ghost crystal was caught in his hand.

With a slight force, the dark red ghost crystal broke into powder.

A stream of dark red ghost mist whistled and wanted to surge in all directions, but the palm seemed to have a great suction force, dragging it towards the palm and absorbing it.

In less than two breaths, the ghost mist that had just emerged was pulled between the palms and disappeared without a trace.

Mei and Zhu opened their mouths wide and stared at the scene in front of them in amazement.

The wind and snow rustled, the grass and trees were silent, and it was indescribably cold and quiet.

With just a palm and a grab, the two extremely difficult special blood ghosts and dozens of black ghosts scattered around... evaporated? They could only think of this word for a while.

Because everything around them was safe and sound, only the group of ghosts were destroyed by the sea of ​​light, and not even a trace of the breath of the ghost mist was left.

That palm and thrust looked particularly familiar. They were clearly the Push Mountain Palm and Black Evil Palm techniques that Gu Ke used most often when farming. They would never make a mistake.

When did these two inferior external martial arts become so brutal?

"Go home quickly. If you stay here, I can't save you." Shennong's projection said this only to Mei and Zhu, and looked up at the sky.

The purple-gold light quickly dimmed, and the projection dissipated into the world.

Seeing this, Mei Shu immediately came back to his senses, mustered up his little blood and energy, quickly cleaned up the battlefield, turned around and supported Zhu Qi, and headed south.

The two women took the time to drink the remaining rice wine and dry food on the way, and the lack of blood and energy in their bodies was replenished little by little.

The benefits of "Blood Bull" Wu Zong are huge, but there are also disadvantages. After consuming most of the blood and energy, it takes more to recover than the average Wu Zong.

This is still because the food and rice wine are all specialties of Yulong Cave Mansion. If they are replaced with ordinary exotic food, they can't make up for it even if they eat for three or five days.

Now they not only have no special blood-replenishing pills, but also no food supplies.

Fortunately, without the lingering ghosts of death substitutes and transfer ghosts, there will not be dozens of chases and fights in a day like before.

The powerful recovery ability of the "blood bull" Wu Zong also has a chance to breathe.

Mei and Zhu summoned their blood and energy, and after walking hundreds of miles in one breath, the blood and energy in their bodies did not decrease but increased, from almost exhausted to seriously depleted.

This is equivalent to more than 40% of the blood and energy of ordinary Wu Zong.

Under the nourishment of a huge amount of blood and energy, Zhu Qi, who was originally seriously injured, became slightly seriously injured, and no longer needed Mei Shu to support him to move forward.

They remembered Gu Ke's last warning and continued to return to the south without stopping.

However, Zhu Qi is a bit like a mature version of Ju Qin, and he would be more stable on weekdays.

But these few days of fighting and fighting, to the desperate situation at the last moment, the ups and downs of life are too fast.

At this moment, she couldn't help but want to say something: "Big sister, that guy just now...was he transformed?"

Meishu knew that this "he" referred to Gu Ke, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head and said: "Who knows."

After a pause, she still added: "Even if it's not him, it may be someone who is closely related to him."

Zhuqi understood that big sister didn't like to talk nonsense, and saying this was definitely similar to disguise.

After all, Zhuqi herself felt the kind of affinity from Shennong's projection, and the rhythm of the tone when speaking, which was not very similar to Gu Ke, but exactly the same.

As martial masters, their perception is quite sharp, especially for acquaintances, it is impossible for both of them to be wrong.

She kept thinking back to the picture that appeared in Shennong's projection: "Do you think he knew that we might be in danger, so he asked the eldest lady to give the copper coin?"

Meishu hesitated, and just hummed vaguely.

She was embarrassed to say that the last thing she thought of before "dying" was Gu Ke, not the eldest lady and the three sisters.

Zhuqi didn't pay attention to her elder sister's expression. When she heard this, she took it as her approval and continued the picture in her mind.

Suddenly, her face became strange: "Eldest sister, you seem to have put the copper coin in..." As she said this, her eyes looked at the part of her elder sister that looked down on her sisters and the eldest daughter.

Meishu noticed where her eyes fell, and quickly understood what her second sister was thinking. He glared at her: "What are you talking about, you shameless guy!"

Zhuqi couldn't help laughing: "Eldest sister, he really ran away from you and saved us."

Hearing such fierce words, Meishu's face was a little hot, and he couldn't help but spit: "You just escaped with your life, and you have the energy to think about it. I should have let you be beaten a few more times by the scapegoat."

Zhuqi laughed: "It's okay, as long as you don't die, you have to cook more good dishes for me when you go back. Otherwise, I will tell them that he ran from you... Oh, don't pull, don't pull."

The second half of the sentence was interrupted by Meishu who was angry.

This good-tempered elder sister "killed ruthlessly", just like Saranzhu did to Xiaoman, grabbing the meaty part and rotating it 360 degrees.

She was still muttering: "You little slut, you think I can't teach you a lesson just because you are injured, right?"

Zhuqi begged for mercy again and again: "Good sister, please show mercy, I will never say anything about "getting out" when I go back, oh, hahahaha."

A series of faint laughter and noises were scattered on the snowy ice field, and two figures walked away together.

…

In the Yulong Valley, Gu Ke's eyes were focused again, and the mutton roll on the chopsticks was taken back from the hot pot and put into the oil dish in front of him.

The mutton roll shrank from the bright red and white snowflake pattern to a slightly gray and slightly curved cooked meat slice, with bright red spicy oil hanging on it, and most of it was also soaked by the brown sesame oil.

Gu Ke then put it in his mouth and chewed it twice.

The sesame oil, hot pot oil, and meat aroma mixed together, impacting the taste buds.

He tasted it carefully, but shook his head: "It's a bit overcooked, about five breaths will be enough."

This is because he was in a hurry to use the divine mind projection to save people, and the chopsticks were taken back a few breaths late.

Xiaoman was eating slurpingly, but he quickly expressed his opinion on his most "professional" topic: "You boiled it for almost eight breaths, I think six breaths is most appropriate."

Well, it's a bit overcooked. Xiaoping'er silently tasted the mutton rolls that she boiled for ten breaths, and commented like this, and then wrote down "He likes to eat five breaths, and the eldest sister likes to eat six breaths."

Salanzhu, the other half: What five breaths and six breaths, will we have diarrhea if we eat it raw and cooked?

No? Then it doesn't matter how many breaths it is, just put it in your mouth after boiling.

Gu Ke's divine mind suddenly weakened for a few breaths and then recovered, she would not mention it actively.

Talking about divine mind can easily trigger unnecessary associations between the two children.

He thought that he would also find excuses, so he didn't need her help.

Gu Ke really didn't mean to mention this.

Mei and Zhu were both rescued, and their injuries were not serious. At most, he would worry the two newbies.

And he was thinking about the danger of the projection of the cause and effect money.

The system panel not only limits it to once a month, but also specifically marks it as having a certain degree of danger.

The results of his attack just now proved that this danger seemed unlikely to come from the monsters he faced.

Two blood monsters and hundreds of black monsters were really enough for his two hands to move automatically.

If it weren't for the special ability of the transfer monster and the first-class ability to escape, that 90+ level push mountain palm could also kill them.

However, while killing them, his mind vaguely sensed something was wrong.

It seemed that something suddenly "came to life" and began to spy on him, and a sense of danger emerged in his heart.

Therefore, he only reminded Mei and Zhu and immediately dispersed the Shennong projection.

When his mind returned to the Yulong Cave Mansion, the sense of danger immediately disappeared.

Recalling the feeling it gave him carefully, it didn't seem strong, but it couldn't be ignored.

This is a bit like the high-speed mud truck he saw last in his previous life.

If he stays still, it will hit him head-on.

But if he hides in a building or an alley in advance, it will be difficult for it to break through the solid building and threaten him.

In short, this danger is very deadly, but it is not too difficult to avoid.

This is obviously different from the projection of the roadside stall, and the projection through the god tablet and statue.

So let's speculate again, what is the difference between the several projections? The biggest difference is in the system building.

The roadside stall is a serious system building, and the god tablet and statue can be regarded as a "preparatory" system building.

Gu Ke has never forgotten that the core building of the system, the small hut where the player lives, has only one function clearly marked - shelter.

The shelter capabilities of the other system buildings are all shared from it.

The level 5 roadside stall combines trading and shelter.

So his projection can only block that kind of hidden peeping under the protection of the roadside stall, god tablet, and statue?

Thinking further back, the system has to reach level 5 before it can briefly open the passage between Yulong Cave and the outside world once every ten years.

The number of roadside stalls is limited, and the location of the stalls also starts from remote areas. It is necessary to upgrade its level to increase the number of stalls and go to big cities.

At the beginning, his strength and the level of the core hut were very low, and the authority to communicate with the outside world was zero.

From all these situations, Gu Ke saw a word - hide.

The system baby also gave him fields and houses at the beginning, and obviously did not expect him to rush out to kill monsters and upgrade.

Maybe it just wanted to hide to avoid some accidents.

Then Gu Ke would not insist on committing suicide and frequently use the function of causal money projection.

Anyway, there are only a few people who can make him take action - Miss Qin and her family, Xiaoman's family, and Xiaoping'er's cousin's family.

The totem pole of Liangshan Village will be transformed into the foundation of the cave this year, and the god tablet of Taiping Village will be similar in a few years. The probability of him needing emergency action is very small.

However... the soul source of rushing to save people is really fragrant!

The opponent who could force the two powerful martial masters Meizhu into a desperate situation must be weak.

622 soul sources for the death ghost, 569 soul sources for the transfer ghost.

The average of dozens of black ghosts is 60+, and the total is 6274 soul sources.

This harvest is much easier than his hard work to set up a stall. It only takes a few breaths to grab a palm. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Moreover, with such a "windfall", the soul sources for upgrading the roadside stall to level 9 have accumulated 70%, which saves at least two months of work.

Finally, taking a look at the 11,000+ soul source inventory, he suppressed the greed in his heart.

People who are greedy and have no self-control will be unlucky sooner or later.

There are countless examples of such people, such as gamblers, stock investors, lottery players, etc.

Besides, what Gu Ke disliked most in his previous life was gambling. He lost nine out of ten times.

The life in this second life is getting better and better, so he doesn't want to die young like in the first life.

So it's more comfortable to eat hot pot than to take risks to earn "a little bit" of soul source.

The hot pot location chosen by Xiaoman is by the big lake not far from the foot of the mountain. The frozen lake is extremely peaceful.

And the river bank a few feet away is outside the system building range.

Large flakes of snow fluttered with the north wind, falling one after another, turning into thick snow pressing on the trees, flowers and plants, condensing into piles of snow in various shapes.

In front of the four people was a bubbling hot pot of red and white.

The white side was prepared for Xiao Ping'er, who couldn't eat spicy food very well. It contained mutton bone soup, and added ice-heart bamboo shoots, mushrooms, fungi, etc., to make a mountain-delicacy bone soup.

The milky white bone soup was bubbling with dark mushroom caps, dried fungi, and bamboo shoots.

Before the official start of the hot pot, scoop up a bowl and drink it. The hot and rich mountain-delicacy mutton soup can instantly activate the deepest part of a person's appetite (gu qian).

The red oil on the surface of the red soup on the other side was constantly lifted up by the bubbling light brown soup base, exuding a heavy spicy flavor.

This was the result of Gu Ke's "lowering" as much as possible, just in case Xiao Man said that her butt would bloom the next day - of course, that didn't stop her from eating.

If Xiao Ping'er ate it, it would be almost like a heroic sacrifice.

It's really not easy to get this hot pot base.

Gu Ke spent a lot of time just making the bean paste.

The important raw material, broad beans (also called Hudou), was obtained from a small village occasionally during the previous stall.

After the mature broad beans are soaked in water, the skin is thinned (it can also be thinned after half-cooking), and the petals are separated. A half-inch to one-inch long Artemisia annua leaf (Yellow Vitex leaf can also be used) is spread on the bottom of the round dustpan, and the drained broad bean petals are spread on the leaves, and then covered with a layer of Artemisia annua leaf (Pumpkin leaf can also be used).

Put it in a cool place and let it stand for five to seven days to allow it to naturally produce yellow mold, and the whole is covered with yellow-green mold. The moldy bean paste required for bean paste is ready.

The warehouse has a ten-fold aging function, and the standing mold process only takes six or seven hours, which does not waste much time.

After the moldy bean paste is ready, put it in white wine, rice wine, soy sauce (or salt) to soak for a few days, dry it in the sun and stir it once a day to make the bean paste soft.

In addition, some people will wash the moldy bean paste slightly before using it, but Gu Ke uses it directly without washing it, just like his family in the previous life.

Another major ingredient of bean paste is chili sauce, which requires the chili peppers that have been washed and dried for a day to be crushed.

Generally, it is 10 parts of Erjingtiao or Qinjiao, which are not too spicy, and 1 part of spicy small pointed peppers or green and red peppers.

Other salt 2 parts, 1 part of ground old ginger, 1 part of peppercorns, 1 part of white wine or rice wine, and a small amount of five-spice powder.

Take about 2 parts of soaked bean paste, mix it into the chili sauce, and stir it evenly.

At this point, there are many different ways to make it.

Some people add vegetable oil first, then dry the bean paste, and then can it for storage.

Some people dry the bean paste first, then add vegetable oil for storage.

Some people add lettuce oil, and some people add cooled cooked vegetable oil.

The amount of salt, peppercorns, white wine or rice wine, and how much each is added, whether to put five-spice powder, thirteen spices, and minced garlic, and how much to put, all have slight differences, and the finished products are also different.
