Chapter 254: Small Matters in the Blessed Land

Generally speaking, the dishes cooked by my mother may not taste very good.

But if you like to eat something, that dish will be prepared more, and generally placed near you.

If you don’t like to eat something, that dish will rarely appear on the table, or be placed far away from you.

When eating noodles, one or several garlic heads will be placed next to the bowl, and when eating stews, there are ready-made red oil and bean paste dipping sauces.

In short, it will make people relax unconsciously.

Gu Ke likes this feeling very much, and always praises his mother-in-law’s cooking skills.

Xiong Wangshi said "eat whatever you want" and "it's just like that", but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

There is no way, compared with her husband and two stupid sons who only know how to eat, the son-in-law's words are really considerate.

And when he said these words, his expression was natural, without any feeling of grievance and embarrassment, which is even more rare.

In this regard, Xiaoman can't do it.

In the past, she would bury her head in the food with her father and brother, but now she would unconsciously comment on her mother's cooking: "Well, the scrambled eggs are a bit salty."

"The peppercorns in the cold fish salad are too much, which suppresses its own fragrance."

"The red oil in the oil sauce is fried too hot, and it's a bit bitter."

Hmph! This damn girl, she really hasn't been beaten for 30 years, and she's going up the roof and tearing the tiles. A certain mother thought so in her heart, and her dangerous eyes moved to the round part: If you slap me, guess if you will scream as miserably as you did back then?

Gu Ke pretended not to see Xiaoman being beaten by her mother.

As a normal person, you must turn a blind eye to this kind of parent-child interaction and the scene of motherly love and filial piety.

After dinner quickly, Gu Ke took the two sisters to a wasteland far away from the town, and then began to teach Xiong Xiaoxiao.

Not near the town, because of the face of the sister-in-law.

He taught martial arts, but he would not show any mercy.

You can't fool around with martial arts. You fool others and yourself. In the end, it's okay if you don't achieve anything, but it's a big deal if you lose your life.

Xiaoman was spoiled by him, so he never really hit her.

Except for martial arts practice, she would scream when hit with a bamboo stick from time to time, because she wouldn't remember if it didn't hurt.

When he started teaching, Gu Ke realized that he was thinking too much.

Xiong Xiaoxiao was not her sister. She had a lot of experience in martial arts practice. She understood the normal explanations very quickly and didn't need pain to deepen her memory.

The first class was expected to be an hour long, but it was finished in less than half an hour, and some content was even over-said.

Gu Ke always put a solid foundation first, so he stopped when he was satisfied and didn't combine the two classes into one.

Then, while watching his sister-in-law consolidate her practice, he chatted with Xiaoman through voice transmission: "It seems that your little sister will not stay in the blessed land for too long."

Xiaoman was surprised: "Ah, why is that?"

Gu Ke: "She has a fierceness in practicing martial arts. It doesn't seem to be for longevity and beauty. She probably wants to go out and try her luck."

Xiaoman was entangled: "But, I won't agree, right?"

Gu Ke was helpless: "A martial artist wants to achieve something, and this persistence is indispensable. Your mother can't stop it."

After a pause, he changed his words: "Her strength will soon surpass your mother. This is a natural advantage. It will be the same if we don't help. When she wants to leave, who can stop her?"

Xiaoman turned her head and looked at Lai.

Gu Ke shook his head: "Your parents are elders, not my responsibility. But let's talk about your two brothers. Have I ever stopped them from coming to the blessed land to retire?"

"If it were someone else, with their strength, it would be a good time to fight to kill monsters and exterminate ghosts."

"They don't want to live that kind of life, so I have no objection. Xiaoxiao wants to go out, can I lock her up in the blessed land?"

Xiaoman was speechless.

Of course she could ask him to keep Xiaoxiao, and she believed that he would agree in the end.

But, is this really good for Xiaoxiao?

Suppose Gu Ke suddenly changed his nature and aligned himself with the soul source, and simply threw her out of the valley and went to hunt monsters every day.

She would not die, and could even live a good life with her strength, but would she be happy that way? Of course not.

What makes people do something against their will can be survival, can be life, but it should not be someone else's "for your own good".

After thinking silently for a long time, she grabbed his arm and said, "Then, let her become stronger before going out?"

"Of course." Gu Ke held her hand and gently stroked it: "After all, she is my sister-in-law. How can I let her go out and be bullied."

This answer is natural. The only trouble lies in the strength of my sister-in-law.

At this stage, blood ghosts and demon kings are everywhere in Dawu. If you want to be safe, it is best to have the strength of a martial arts master.

Even if you are really unlucky and encounter virtual ghosts and demon kings on the road, the martial arts master can fight and retreat. It is not easy to die.

So far, no martial arts master has died in Dawu.

On the demon ghost side, the number of virtual ghosts and demon kings combined has died in double digits.

Of course, only two demon kings died in the monsters, which is almost the double digits achieved by the ghosts alone.

Who let this level of ghost crystal blood core upgrade the fairy field, and it is possible to explode the martial arts of the martial god realm, Gu Ke can't help but pay attention.

The following days have entered stability again.

In addition to Xiaoman who went back to her parents' home to eat and drink, Xiaoping'er and Saranzhu also "arrived" in the town.

They used the same name as Gu Ke - working for Xianshan, and their appearance was the same.

Anyway, when setting up the stall, the images of the three women were all based on the system template or temporary cards in the character card pool.

Now with their original appearance and new names, no one would associate them with the "Four Fairies".

So... they chose the surname Gu, one named Gu Ping and the other named Gu Lan.

There is no need to hide the fact that they know Gu Ke and Xiao Man. They all work for the fairy mountain, so it is not surprising to know each other.

The residents of Fudi come from three cities. They used to be distributed in the middle, south and west, thousands of miles apart from each other. Now they know people from the other two cities.

The two girls naturally went to Xiao Man's house, and would go there from time to time.

I can only say that the family atmosphere is still very attractive to them.

They are not sisters with Xiao Man, but they are better than sisters. It is also good to enjoy the life of a big family occasionally.

It's just not as frequent as Xiao Man. They go there once every three to five days, and they may not go together every time.

As the other half of the Shaman group, Saranzhu is heartless and has not yet subsided the symptoms of giant babies. She goes there more often.

Xiao Ping'er is introverted, and it can be said that she is a little twisted. She goes there less than half of the times Saranzhu does.

Xiaoman and Saranzhu could understand naturally.

Xiaoping'er had relatives, but unfortunately her cousin's family chose to stay in Mingzhou and did not come.

She was not used to being in a lively environment - there was no way to tolerate the shaman group's noise, and relatives must accept each other's small shortcomings.

At night that day, Saranzhu went to Xiong's house with Xiaoman to eat and watch a play.

Well, this play is a real opera.

Among the tens of thousands of small town residents from all over the world, there are always some talents.

Fudi Town is peaceful and harmonious, and people need proper entertainment and relaxation after working and practicing martial arts.

Opera storytelling is good, and there will be one or two performances every three or five days after dinner.

The level is not important, what is important is that a lot of people get together, cheering and booing, and it is very lively.

Who are the shaman duo? They always make some noise when they have nothing to do, let alone this ready-made excitement, so I decided to join in.

Only Gu Ke and Xiao Ping'er were left alone in the Yulong Cave, which was really quiet.

A gap was left above the hot spring pool, allowing the heavy snow outside the Yulong Valley to fall.

The cherry trees transplanted by the pool also dropped pink, white or red petals, entangled with the white snow, and fell into the hot spring.

The snow melted and the flowers floated, moving back and forth on the slightly rippling water.

Ying Lian's crescent moon led the sky, and the tears began to flow when she knocked on the fragrant door.

Xiao Ping'er raised her head, her eyes were hazy, looking at the snow and cherry blossoms falling all over the sky, and a long and gentle moan came out of her nose.

The sunflower blood in the body swirled in the bottom wheel, emitting countless cool beads and soft silk-like blood.

As they practiced, they rolled and slid down, like morning dew and flower rain, crystal clear, lively and agile.

Gu Ke gently stroked Xiao Ping'er's heart. Although her blood was not as full and lively as Xiao Man's, it was cool as a pigeon and could be held in hand.

A little stimulation could cause a large number of blood dewdrops in the root chakra to emerge.

During the practice, Xiao Man's blood was in full swing, but Xiao Ping'er's blood was like a jade pot with ice, which was completely different.

Only Gu Ke's blood was like the void, majestic and calm.

As Xiao Ping'er's blood flowed faster, the petals in the hot spring spread out, and the crystal clear spiritual spring water splashed.

With a faint hum, her blood finally reached its limit.

A trace of coolness penetrated into Gu Ke's body through the entangled blood, and was absorbed and filtered into a purer life essence, which was fed back into the deep blood of the root chakra.

The body that was originally like a cold jade withered and exuding coolness returned to normal, revealing a faint warmth.

Xiao Ping'er lay on her back in his arms for a long time, and her eyes, which had lost focus, became lively again. She saw Gu Ke looking down at her with a smile on his face.

She cried out, raised her hands to cover her face, and turned her head to the side: "You, how long have you been looking at me like this?"

Gu Ke pinched the small earlobe that was exposed, and rubbed it slowly between three fingers: "I have been watching you since your blood and qi burst out, otherwise how can I be sure of the effect of my practice."

As he said this, he placed his other hand on her root chakra and felt it: "You mainly practiced the Blood Sea Red Lotus Treasure Book, and your blood and qi are extremely strong. You also practiced the Sunflower Sutra as a minor. Your breath is cool and easy to condense. Naturally, you need to practice more with me to guide and clear it."

Xiao Ping'er cried out again, and her hands no longer cared about covering her face, but pressed on the big hand on the root chakra.

The sunflower blood and qi that had not yet calmed down had already moved in response to the pressure, and re-entangled and entangled, and the strings of dewdrops of blood and qi poured out and flowed through the entire chakra again.

Gu Ke nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that I have to practice a few more times tonight."

How could Xiao Ping'er reply? Only the full moon was rippling in the pool, and a jade rabbit kept flashing a hazy afterimage for a long time.

...

The winter of the 527th year of Dawu was very peaceful.

Xiaoman and Saranzhu shifted a lot of energy to help (play) in the blessed land.

Xiao Ping'er got more time. Under Gu Ke's teaching, she practiced diligently. After a large amount of void blood and qi stimulation, she grew twice.

However, this growth was not large, only slightly better than before. Not to mention comparing conscience with Xiaoman, who was the first in the mansion, she was far behind Saranzhu, who was the second in the mansion.

Of course, Xiao Ping'er was very satisfied, because Gu Ke said it was just right.

She was originally weak and thin, and she was completely different from Xiaoman, who was full and lively, or Saranzhu, who was tall and slender, with advantages wider than her shoulders.

This time she gained a little more weight, and she's still slim, but with just a little more meat where it should be.

This year is also the first time that Yulong Cave Mansion did not prepare a New Year's Eve dinner. We can just go to Fudi Town to eat ready-made food.

The fireworks rain was also saved. That thing was purely for Xiaoman and the others to have fun. In fact, blessing can be completed without any sound, light and electricity effects.

The projection here is eating New Year's Eve dinner together at the Xiong family in Fudi, and the main body is still in the cave to accompany Sister Bai to spend New Year's Eve, without missing a single one.

Then it was the 528th year of Dawu.

Everything in Fudi Town is changing with each passing day, and formal residential areas are built one by one.

Each household is not too big, and those with many people are divided into one or two households, close together, and the courtyard wall is removed.

Even Xiaoman and Gu Ke built a small courtyard next to the Xiong family as a home for the four of them in the town.

The used bamboo buildings were collected and transported to the west of Fudi.

Residents who come to Fudi in the future can stay there temporarily and move after they build their own houses.

The bamboo buildings will continue to be left for the next batch of residents who migrate.

On the other hand, the scope of land reclamation is reserved within 50 miles of the town, and the farther areas are also left to the later ones.

The length and width of the blessed land are more than 240 miles, and it is impossible for everyone to live in one town.

It is expected to be divided into four cities in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, and then the towns will be gradually dispersed from these four cities, and the land will be reclaimed nearby, which will also facilitate the management and coordination of the four cities.

The town where the Xiong family is located is in the west and will be the center of the western city of the blessed land in the future.

With the arrival of spring, the first batch of purple wheat planted last year has hung full grains and is about to usher in a bumper harvest, which surprised all the residents.

They thought about the magic of the blessed land, but they didn't think that even the weather could change, and the output of exotic grains was far beyond their imagination.

This alone made the whole town full of joy.

This batch of grain was handed over to the fairy mountain, not only did the town get rid of the state of only outflow but not inflow, but it could even feed back some to the three cities.

Among them, the relatives of the residents have priority in the distribution, because this is the result of the labor of their parents and children.

The old Xiong family, who were cautious in the first place, had all their members relocated here, but there were no three-generation relatives living outside.

But they could choose to stay for their own use, or provide them to Xiongjia Town.

Xiaoman would bring things home whenever she had time, and she used the excuse given to her by Gu Ke - this was the salary given to her by Xianshan, and the old Xiong family really didn't lack these things.

Therefore, it was decided long ago to leave daily necessities for the family and give the rest to the town.

Xiongjia Town only had no three-generation blood relatives, but there were many cousins ​​within the fifth mourning period.

If they couldn't come to the blessed land, they had to improve their strength and kill more monsters. One day, they might have the opportunity to come here to retire.

Gu Ke was relieved.

In recent years, all the countries in Dawu have been shrinking their defenses and protecting themselves, and the grain output has been greatly affected.
