Chapter 21
After Shen Zening finished speaking, he carried Bai Yang and walked towards the teahouse door.
He looked at the time. It was now around nine in the morning. People entering the city should have started queuing up. They had to go there early.
"What doctor are you going to find for him in Shuowang City?" Xu Xiaoyan asked, "If it's an ordinary doctor, there's no need to look for him."
Xu Xiaoyan's words awakened Shen Zening.
What he said does make sense.
Shen Zening still has not fully integrated into this world of cultivation.
Bai Yang has been looking like a fox cub ever since he picked him up due to injury. He has yet to regain his human form and cannot speak.
He knew in his heart that he knew Bai Yang was a monster, but after all, he had not seen him as a human with his own eyes and lacked the visual impact on his senses. He still habitually regarded Bai Yang as an ordinary fox who was smart and humane.
Although Shen Zening didn't want to go to Shuowang City and continue to see the ordinary doctor who treated spiritual pets who treated his legs last time, he still didn't think outside the limitations of being a time traveler. He wanted to find another doctor who treated cultivators.
He accidentally ignored the fact that Bai Yang was not an ordinary cultivator at all. Bai Yang is the demon king who lost his memory and returned to his original form after being seriously injured. His injuries are not obvious on the surface, but they are much more serious than those of ordinary cultivators.
He stretched out his hand out of habit and smoothed the soft fur on the little fox's back. After being silent for a while, he said: "Master Xu is right." Xu Xiaoyan
took a few steps closer and said, "Can you let me see your injury... See?"
He said this to Bai Yang.
The little fox tilted his head, looked at this strange yet familiar man in white for a while with his big eyes open, and nodded.
Shen Zening put the little furball in his arms on the couch in the yard: "I didn't expect that Master Xu had also practiced medical skills." Xu Xiaoyan knelt down, carefully reached out and held
Bai Yang's little paw, and said lightly: "... I just know a thing or two."
Xu Xiaoyan slowly closed his eyes, and the spiritual power around his body moved slightly, trying to find a ray from the palms of one man and one fox, and follow Bai Yang's spiritual veins into the sea of consciousness.
"Di—A potential threat has been found. Do you want to add it to the watch list? Yes/No."
The teahouse's AI system detected the fluctuations in Xu Xiaoyan's spiritual power and issued a prompt.
The orange dotted line with a slight halo completely circled Xu Xiaoyan, but he himself was not aware of it, and his usually straight and straight face had a somewhat dignified look.
"Bai Yang, relax." Xu Xiaoyan frowned slightly, "I need to see your sea of consciousness, let me in."
The little fox lay on the recliner and snorted somewhat uncomfortably.
Seeing Bai Yang's uncomfortable look, Shen Zening felt nervous and wanted to stop, "Master Xu..." Xu Xiaoyan
closed his eyes tightly and couldn't help but increase his strength when holding Bai Yang's fingertips. A little white, "Silence."
I don't know how long it took before Bai Yang's sea of consciousness finally opened a tiny opening, and Xu Xiaoyan's consciousness quickly penetrated in upon seeing this.
The situation in the sea of consciousness was worse than he imagined. The sky was dark, and everything he looked at was covered with a layer of gray fog.
The dense fog almost completely covered the sea of consciousness. Xu Xiaoyan's consciousness passed through the gray fog. After groping for a long time, he discovered that Baiyang's sea of consciousness was barren, with dilapidated ruins and withered flowers and trees everywhere.
These ruins were originally pavilions and pavilions condensed with spiritual power. If you look closely, you can still see the exquisiteness of the past.
...How could this be?
Xu Xiaoyan was startled and took a few steps forward with his consciousness.
Deep in the fog, there was some black smoke that was darker than the gray fog. Just when he was about to enter the depths of Bai Yang's sea of consciousness, his spiritual consciousness was suddenly expelled from the sea of consciousness.
With his consciousness returning, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly opened his eyes, a sweet smell filled his throat, and he tilted his head and coughed.
"Baiyang!"
The little fox was not in good condition either. He curled up into a ball on his side, trembling all over, and screamed in pain several times.
Shen Zening half-knelt in front of Bai Yang, carefully stretched out her hand to touch his back, and said anxiously: "Master Xu, what's wrong with him?" After asking, he didn't hear a reply for a long time. He turned around and saw that Seeing
Xu Xiaoyan stand up suddenly, with his back to Shen Zening, his slender fingertips grabbed the hem of his clothes hard.
"...Excuse me." Xu Xiaoyan said hoarsely, moved his feet slightly, and instantly returned to his temporary room, waving his sleeves and closing the door.
Shen Zening didn't have the energy to pay attention to Xu Xiaoyan's strange behavior.
Bai Yang looked very uncomfortable. Shen Zening wanted to carry Bai Yang back to the room, but he didn't know if he was hurting somewhere, so he didn't dare to reach out and lift him up.
the other side.
Xu Xiaoyan just closed the door, covered his lips with one hand, and fell limply to the ground.
Before he could recover from his old illness, he forced himself into Bai Yang's sea of consciousness, but was met with backlash. Just like adding insult to injury, his condition suddenly worsened.
He suddenly coughed heartbreakingly, and blood poured out from his fingers, and blood flowers bloomed on the ground.
The Yanfang sword fell to the ground with a "snap", and the sword spike was just a finger away from the blood spreading on the ground. Xu Xiaoyan pushed himself up and picked up the Yanfang sword, staring at the sword spike shaking at the hilt. The eyes are dark and unclear.
Chapter 22
After nearly an hour, Bai Yang gradually calmed down, his eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Shen Zening had been staying by his side. When he saw him waking up, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he asked softly: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Bai
Yang's reaction was still a little slow, and he was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this. The ground shook his head.
"Let's rest at home today? I won't go to the city. I'll stay with you at home." Shen Zening rubbed the tips of his ears and handed him a bowl of water: "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Bai Yangman said After taking two sips slowly, he refused to drink any more. He pushed Shen Zening's hand, stood up from the soft cushion, shook his hair, and prepared to jump off the chair.
Shen Zening was startled and quickly caught him: "Where are you going?"
Bai Yang pointed to the teahouse lobby and nuzzled into his arms.
...Want to go out? Shen Zening was a little surprised, "Why don't you rest in the room for a while?" "
Actually, after that period, Bai Yang didn't feel so uncomfortable. He had been carried around by others these days. Now that his legs are healed, he just wants to go out and play.
Shen Zening has always followed the little fox's lead. , seeing what he was thinking, he just opened the game interface and took a look at the time. After
struggling for a while, it's just before eleven o'clock, which is still early, but it's time to eat.
How about going out after eating?" Shen Zening said Then he took out the menu: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Bai Yang directed Shen Zening to flip through the menu again and again, hesitating between lemon shrimp and lemon beef. After a long while, he stretched out his little paw and pressed on the lemon shrimp. on the picture.
Shen Zening touched him: "There are no more shrimps at home."
The white furry little fox's face fell.
Shen Zening didn't know how he could tell whether the pale face that was still the prototype of a fox was broken or not. It was just a feeling that the little fox he had raised to become more and more squeamish might have some objections, so he quickly said: "Do it." The lemon beef is the same, both are cold and the taste is almost the same. If you want to eat fresh seafood from the river, how about we go to the city to buy some in the afternoon?"
In addition to the lemon beef, Shen Zening also plans to make some cheese egg rolls.
Let’s have a simple meal at noon, and then cook more in the evening.
Bai Yang's spirit has indeed improved a lot. He squatted on the kitchen counter and refused to move. He must be a small supervisor.
Just watch it if you want.
Shen Zening laughed, poured him a small bowl of tea, then took out the morning sweet-scented osmanthus cake, cut it into small pieces and put it on Bai Yang's special small plate.
After serving Bai Yang, he took out the ingredients and started cooking.
The beef I bought last time was the leg meat of a young bull. The meat was soft and tender, just right for making salad.
He took out about a kilogram and cut it into thin slices. After the water boiled, he put it in and blanch it. When it changed color, he immediately took it out and put it into the prepared ice water.
Shen Zening took another big bowl, sliced lemons, diced onions, cut millet into rings, chopped some coriander, poured in fish sauce, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, mature vinegar and a little sugar, took out half Squeeze some juice from the lemon, then drain the water from the beef and put it into a bowl, stir together evenly.
Cheese egg rolls were easier to make. Shen Zening went to the mall and bought a few ham sausages, a bag of toast and a bag of shredded cheese. He cut off the edges of the toast and rolled it flat with a rolling pin.
He personally prefers ketchup, so he spread ketchup on a few slices of toast, and spread salad dressing on the rest. Then he spread the shredded cheese on it, put ham on one end, rolled it up, and put it into the beaten egg liquid. , so that every corner of the toast roll is coated with egg wash.
Shen Zening prepared ten egg rolls, and when he was about to ask Bai Yang if they were enough, he turned around and saw that he had already run to the big bowl of lemon beef, with his two front paws on the edge of the bowl.
Bai Yang took a sip, and the bowl was filled with the fragrance of lemon. He smacked his lips, stuck out a small red tongue, swung his big fluffy tail, and gave Shen Zening a soft "squeak".
He had already finished the sweet-scented osmanthus cake before, and now the small plate was empty.
"Okay, okay, don't worry." Shen Zening had no choice but to put down the egg rolls first, and went to get some beef for the little fox. "Are these egg rolls enough? Do you want to make some more?"
Bai Yang was busy eating lemon beef. , too lazy to pay attention to Shen Zening.
Somehow, after he recovered from the discomfort of being penetrated deeply into the sea of consciousness, he felt an unusually obvious hunger. He just wanted to fill his stomach quickly, and he wanted to eat Shen Zening with two "oooo"s in his mouth. Sent away.
Bai Yang was a bit greedy before, but he always waited gracefully and calmly for Shen Zening to cut it into small pieces for him. He had never looked so impatient to eat.
Shen Zening watched for a while, and then said: "Then I'll do it first. If it's not enough, I won't talk about it."
After the pot was hot, he brushed a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot, put the egg rolls in and fried them over low heat until golden brown. , took it out, cut half of the cheese roll, and after it cooled down a bit, put it to Bai Yang's mouth, "How does it taste?" The
little dandelion-like hairy dumpling opened its mouth and took a sip at the egg roll.
The outer layer of egg The skin was fragrant and soft, and when the cheese inside was bitten open, a long thread was pulled out.
Bai Yang curiously began to play with the brushed cheese, and his soft tongue licked Shen Zening's fingertips from time to time.
The fingertips were wet. , Shen Zening waited until Bai Yang finished eating before washing his hands and putting the remaining cheese egg rolls on the plate.
There is still some seafood casserole porridge left in the morning, plus the cheese egg rolls and lemon beef, it should be enough for lunch .
There were already some guests sitting in the lobby. Shen Zening did not plan to sit in the lobby to eat, so he set up a folding table in the yard. After putting on the parasol
and setting up the chairs and dishes, he continued to serve General Bai Yang. After cutting the vegetables into small pieces and putting them on a small plate, he walked to Xu Xiaoyan's door and knocked.
"Master Xu, you're out for lunch. "
After Shen Zening finished speaking, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the house. He thought of Xu Xiaoyan's strange look before returning to the house, and was a little worried that something had happened to Xu Xiaoyan. Of course, the main concern was not
this person.
Xu Xiaoyan's cultivation level was so high, There is a high probability that he will not die, but if something happens one after another in his small teahouse, the master of Fengqi will really have ten mouths to explain.
When he raised his hand to knock on the door and ask again, someone in the room finally There was movement.
Xu Xiaoyan's voice was dark and hoarse, as if he was right next to the door, but Shen Zening clearly didn't hear his footsteps coming over.
"...No need, you guys eat first. "
After he finished speaking, he took off the tassel from the Yanfang sword and carefully brushed away the dust on the ground. The wide cuffs slid down to his forearms, revealing a somewhat lonely and pale wrist. The blood-stained
sword tassel was covered by his Put it in his arms and put it close to his heart.
Outside the house.
Shen Zening heard him say that he didn't want to eat, but didn't care. He just said that he would leave some food for him, and then went back to the yard to find Bai Yang.
