Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 785

[Chapter 783 Foodie]

Gan Yu carried a bamboo basket on his back and trudged through the mountains and forests.

Thinking of the profound meanings of the Tao Te Ching in the book he had borrowed before, a smile appeared on his face.

“As expected, once you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear… I only had six volumes of the Daoist Scripture before, and it was not very coherent. I felt that many of the scriptures were not smooth when I read them. Now that I have read them coherently, I feel suddenly enlightened…”

With this thought in mind, he naturally went to Mr. Fang more diligently.

Moreover, I have to repay the kindness you have shown me.

But Gan Yu was short of money. Fortunately, in recent days, he heard that the master wanted to eat snake soup.

Gan Yu suddenly remembered that there seemed to be long insects on the Niutou Mountain not far away, so he often came here to collect firewood and caught a fat snake to present to his teacher.

However, the long insects that were easy to catch in the mountains had already been caught by the village children and disappeared, so nothing was caught in the past few days.

Today, he went deeper into the area to collect firewood, hoping to get something.

The sun was scorching hot in the sky. Gan Yu had been chopping wood for a long time and was now sweating profusely.

He put down the bamboo basket, took out the earthenware jar filled with water, and was about to drink it when he suddenly stumbled.

“Pah!
” Gan Yu cried out in surprise, watching the jar fall to the ground and break into several pieces. Countless clear water flowed out and sank into the ground in an instant.

He looked at the few remaining belongings in his house and saw that one of them was gone. He couldn’t help but feel like crying: “As expected… scholars are useless.”

Gan Yu was helpless and felt extremely hungry and thirsty. He identified the direction and remembered that there was a dilapidated temple not far away, and there should be a well in the temple.

He walked forward for a while, and soon he saw a small temple.

This small temple had long been in ruins. The plaque and a big door were missing, there was a big hole in the roof, and there were many spider webs on the eaves.

At the location of the statue, the golden body made of clay had already been shattered into pieces, and the head was nowhere to be seen.

The golden body seems to be wearing a robe, but over the years, the color has faded and it is difficult to recognize.

Just vaguely, there seemed to be some ripples on the water, and carp were playing in it.

People in this world respect heaven and fear gods. Gan Yu bowed towards the statue and then came to the back of the small temple.

This was originally where the temple keeper lived, but he had long since run away and there was no trace of anyone here.

In the courtyard, hidden among the weeds, there is an ancient well.

The mouth of the well is square and built with blue bricks. It looks like it is quite old.

And the well is not big, only the size of a water tank.

Gan Yu lay down at the mouth of the well and took a look, and couldn’t help crying out in pain.

It turned out that the well was very deep and seemed to be almost dry, and the straw rope next to it had long since rotted away…

“Um?”

At this moment, Gan Yu caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and was stunned.

Next to this small well, there is a pond of water.

The pool was so shallow that it couldn’t even cover the soles of his shoes. The mud and water were churning, and it seemed that something was struggling!
Gan Yu’s eyes lit up, and he grabbed with both hands, only to feel that he had grabbed a slippery body. With a twist, it was about to slip out of his palm.

He became anxious and immediately flipped his hand to pick up the broken pieces of the earthenware jar that he was originally going to use to scoop water, and then turned it over again.

In the muddy water, the back of a loach was faintly visible.

Its body is covered with tiny, pitch-black scales, its whiskers are long and slender, and its eyes are very lively.

Gan Yu couldn’t help but secretly praise.

As a farm boy, he had touched many snails and loaches when he was young, but in terms of appearance, there was nothing better than this one!
At this moment, the loach’s eyes were full of tears, as if it was begging.

Bubbles kept coming out of its mouth, pointing in the direction of the well.

“Is this the loach from the well? How did it get out? Do you want to go back?”

Gan Yu looked at the loach and fell into deep thought for a moment…

…

After a moment.

Swish!

The bonfire was lit, and a loach was skewered on a branch and roasted in the fire.

“Although this loach is small, it still has a few pounds of meat… It’s a pity that I didn’t catch a few more to give to mother to try…”

Gan Yu touched his rumbling stomach and talked to himself.

When the granaries are full, one will know the differences between honor and disgrace.

He doesn’t have enough to eat every day now, so if he catches a fish, he will eat it himself. Otherwise, will he release it?

“Huff…”

After a while, the grilled fish was ready. He blew on it a few times and immediately opened his mouth to chew it.

I don’t know why, but this loach tastes incredibly delicious when I put it in my mouth. There is not even any earthy smell, and even no salt is added, but there is an indescribable taste lingering between my lips and teeth.

Even with just this little bit of meat, Gan Yu actually felt full for the first time in his life.

He yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

In a dream.

Gan Yu was in a daze when he saw a ball of red and white gas descending. Then, a handsome young man wearing a dragon carp brocade robe and a jade crown on his head pointed at him and cursed: “I am the Well Dragon King. You don’t respect the gods and you bite my body. There will be a disaster!”

After saying that, it turned into a dark and ferocious dragon, but it had not yet fully transformed. There was a bulge on its head, and there were no dragon claws on its abdomen. It only had four fins and long dragon whiskers. It looked like a large black loach!
At this time, the dragon opened its mouth, which was full of densely packed sharp teeth, and bit down on Gan Yu!
“Ah!”

In the ruined temple, Gan Yu screamed, fell to the ground, and a big bump appeared on his head.

“Don’t eat me, don’t eat me…”

He exclaimed, got up quickly, touched his forehead, and was stunned again.

I just felt that the original pain was dissipating rapidly, and even the big swelling was slowly subsiding.

After Gan Yu exclaimed, he felt that his ears and eyes were sharp, and he felt refreshed. The original texts of the Daoist Scriptures that he had not memorized flowed slowly through his mind, as if he had never forgotten them!
Not only that, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened and understood the various subtle meanings hidden in the scriptures.

“this……”

He did not feel the slightest bit of joy at this moment. Instead, he looked at the well and the fish bones on the ground with fear in his eyes.

“This temple…seems to have been dedicated to a water god in the past?”

After my memory improved, many deeply hidden memories slowly emerged from my sea of consciousness.

Gan Yu came to the front of the temple and stared at the headless clay statue. He vaguely felt that the statue seemed to be wearing the brocade robe with the dragon and carp playing in the water.

“It’s a disaster!”

He bit his lips, his face was extremely pale, and he fled out of the temple…

“this……”

“This doesn’t go with the script…”

Fang Xi, who was silently paying attention to this place with his spiritual sense, was also very surprised and blurted out.

According to his script, when his spiritual consciousness discovered this unlucky loach, it seemed to be punished in some way and had to enter the well as a mortal fish in order to be pardoned.

Fang Xi then deliberately mentioned in front of Gan Yu that he wanted to eat snake soup, led Gan Yu to Niutou Mountain, and secretly cast a spell to knock down his earthenware jar.

Gan Yu did follow the script at the beginning. He came to the ruined temple and found the Dragon King of the Well.

“Shouldn’t the next step be to release the Well Dragon King, establish a good relationship with him… and then the Well Dragon King will give him luck and treasures in return… and help him take the imperial examination?”

“how so?”

Fang Xi felt both amused and annoyed.

I just felt that the Well Dragon King was really wronged!
Of course, no matter how tortuous the process was, the result was still good.

“Even though the Well Dragon King is just a hairy god, which is an insult to the title of Dragon King, he is still a spiritual creature after all…Now that Gan Yu has eaten him, he has been reborn.”

“He even has the ability to remember everything he sees. For someone with such extraordinary talent, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to take the examination for Taoist children or the examination for talents.”

“Besides, Gan Yu has offended a god now, and he has no choice but to fight to the death…”

“If I fail this exam, not only will I die, but my entire family will also be in trouble!”

Even without using the luck Gu, Fang Xi knew that Gan Yu must have obtained a piece of “bad luck” at this time!
Bad luck is also a disaster!
Good fortune and disaster come one after another. If you can survive, you will soar to the sky, but if you can’t survive, you will die.

“But it’s none of my business. I just made a random move.”

In the mountain village.

In the fenced courtyard, under the peach tree.

Fang Xi carved a chessboard out of stone and slowly placed the black and white chess pieces on it.

He made a hand gesture and pulled off a green stone from a green stone next to him.

Another spell was cast, and the stone turned pitch black.

In this yard, the peach tree has its own formation. Although it is only the lowest-level concealing maze, the small piece of land is unable to detect the abnormality here.

“Well, the spell has been modified almost completely…”

Fang Xi was playing chess with his left hand and right hand and was having a lot of fun.

The five elements magic of the earthly immortal world is not completely unusable in this world, but it must be modified.

At least, it would not work to directly use the spiritual power of heaven and earth; it must be driven by the vital energy of heaven and earth.

“There is spiritual energy in this world, but it is not active. It seems to be suppressed by some law… Shinto?”

Fang Xi murmured.

The value of gods lies in their laws!

The Taoist court has Taoist laws to govern all gods in the world, and all gods must obey them.

If this is the case with the Dao Court, then the Heavenly Laws of the Heavenly Court must be even more terrifying!
“Except for spells, some magic weapons have become waste…”

Fang Xi took out the Divine Infant Sword, which turned into a three-foot-long sword. The blade was glowing with blood, and it was obviously a rare treasure.

But in terms of power, compared with the sixth-level Return to Void Treasure, its power is greatly reduced.

Other treasures like the Xuanming Flag are all like this.

On the contrary, the power of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan and the Fortune Gu was weakened the least.

“One of these two is a replica of a rare treasure from the Immortal Palace… The rare treasure from the Immortal Palace comes from the True Immortal Realm, which is at least at the level of the Great Thousand Worlds, and is higher in rank than the Heavenly Court in the Middle Thousand Worlds. Therefore, if it is a real rare treasure from the Immortal Palace, it may not even be suppressed or affected by the power of the world…”

“As for the Luck Gu, it seems that it has not been weakened much because it complies with the local rules…”

Fang Xi seemed to be thinking about something: “Next time I should go to the master and borrow the Erwu Zanpaku Gourd or the Fifth Generation Qinghe Sword… In this world, only the rare treasures of the Immortal Palace can exert their greatest power… If that doesn’t work, Jianzi’s flying sword will also be good.”

Thinking of the rare treasures from the Immortal Palace that relied on the power of the laws of heaven and earth, Fang Xi became even more thoughtful.

If the laws of Shinto are developed to the extreme, to some extent, they are the laws of heaven and earth!
Or in other words, they are close to the laws of heaven and earth!

If I were to come into conflict with the high-level gods of this world, it would be difficult for me to sleep peacefully without the rare treasures from the immortal palace to suppress my fate.

‘The way of gods is somewhat similar to the way of earthly immortals… It’s just that the way of gods, with the help of the power of faith, can only exert 10% or 20% of the power of the land, unlike earthly immortals, who can exert the power of the entire earthly spiritual realm, because earthly immortals are the real masters, while gods are just borrowing? Even so, if the god’s position is high enough, the scope of borrowing can be very wide… even far beyond the earthly spiritual realm! ‘

Fang Xi couldn’t help but feel awe in his heart. What realm is that Heavenly Emperor in now?
