Chapter 4: The Joy of Foodies
Whether it was shy or fear, Mei'er's facial features were almost shrunk. From the cracks of her barely opened her eyes, she found that the young master had stepped out of the room, crossed her hands behind her back, and walked out of the yard with a toad-like step.
"Young Master..." Mei'er stayed there. The emotional fluctuations aroused by what happened just now made the girl blush on her neck, especially when she found a misunderstanding, her face was about to burst out with blood like a fire.
Ma Rui, who forgot to wash up, almost jumped and rushed to the west wing where his brother Ma Xiang lived, couldn't wait to confirm his guess just now.
Ma Xiang had just finished his lunch and was practicing regular practice every morning, noon and evening. He heard a light and cheerful step from far to near. The maid guarding outside the door was about to open her mouth to stop him, but the door was pushed open and rushed into a disheveled person.
"Don't be so anxious. Have you eaten?" Ma Xiang did ask the maid to inform Ma Rui that he had time to come to find him, but there was no need to be in such a hurry. My brother obviously just woke up at this moment. Ma Xiang was about to ask Ma Rui to go back to wash and tidy up the instrument first, but was startled by his brother's subsequent actions and he was a little panicked: "What are you doing? Don't, don't come over!"
Ma Rui had already climbed onto his brother Ma Xiang's carved bed, and used his limbs to sniff it.
If it weren't for hearing that his younger brother had beenhaved abnormally recently, Ma Xiang might have slashed Ma Rui with one palm.
"What are you doing?" Ma Xiang finally couldn't help it. He pinched his younger brother's shoulders and only brought a little bit of breath. With a slight press, Ma Rui was obediently pressed and sat on the wooden board.
"You have a water-attributed constitution, right?" The soreness on your shoulders did not affect the gleam of Ma Rui's eyes, and even an excited look on his face: "I smell the scent of the sea breeze on you!"
"Huh?" Ma Xiang frowned. His physique was not a secret. Why did my younger brother suddenly ask? What does it mean to smell?
Ma Rui no longer cared about his brother's reaction, clenched his fists and raised them high, and then couldn't help but applauding on his head: "It's successful, yes!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who doesn't have any smell on a big man?" Ma Xiang felt that his younger brother was a bit too unreasonable. He distinguished the five elements of physical fitness? This kind of statement is simply a joke. What is the way to cultivate the truth? A gimmick event organized by the brothel madam, can you recognize women when you smell the fragrance?
Ma Rui was immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself. He was extremely convinced that his sense of smell had changed! The bloody smell he smelled when he woke up was actually the smell of pig iron. The two were somewhat similar, and it was his physical metallic nature; while the maid Mei'er exuded a faint burnt smell, which corresponded to the ignition attribute; Ma Xiang in front of him emitted a stronger sea breeze, which was obviously water attribute!
When Ma Xiang saw his younger brother's complacent look, he couldn't help but sigh: My younger brother Ma Rui's cultivation qualifications are not good, and his way of cultivation is rough, so he urgently hopes to get some external help, which is also a common human nature. Just like a gambler with poor gambling fortune, he always expects to pray to the gods and temples to get some help when he is at the end of his journey. So he feels that some unrelated hints represent changes in fortune, such as when he goes out to see a wedding sedan chair, he feels lucky. If he sees a funeral coffin, he feels unlucky. However, his younger brother Ma Rui's performance is very similar now. When he smells different people's body odors, he feels that he has discovered a new world and firmly believes that these ignorant judgments can represent the true Tao.
"Ari!" Ma Xiang looked at his younger brother with pity and his voice softened: "Let's not know whether the five elements spiritual energy tastes or not, even if it does - but what's the use?"
When Ma Rui woke up the dreamer, he was still immersed in his fantasy that he would become unique. He suddenly heard Ma Xiang say this, his mind stagnated and his face collapsed rapidly.
Yes! What's the use of just smelling the breath? I'm not a police dog!
"You may not know much about Qi Refining Period now." Ma Xiang explained slowly in a gentle voice: "The Qi Refining Period contains the breath inside, and the Foundation Establishment Period can be exposed to the surface, and when the Dan-building Period, you can borrow things out of thin air. Among the five elements, gold is silver-white, wood is green, water is ink blue, fire is red purple, and earth is tea yellow. All of them can be revealed in detail and there is no need to identify them at all."
Ma Xiang has already said it very tactfully, afraid that his younger brother would suffer too much blow, so he tried his best to persuade Ma Rui not to rely on the sidelines. Only by concentrating on practicing steadily is the right way. Cultivating truth, learning Taoism and practicing, seeking the true self, if you even deny yourself and try to rely on the outside of the sidelines, what else can you talk about the true self?
"Can you smell the pig iron on my body?" Ma Rui's eyes were circling, and he asked again unwillingly.
Ma Xiang sighed lightly and shook his head gently: "No! You'd better go back and wash first, so as not to make people laugh at this look!"
The disappointment in words was completely hidden, so Ma Xiangcai didn't believe that relying on the taste could distinguish the five elements. Otherwise, wouldn't it be unnecessary for those sects to spend money to set up formations to detect the physique of their disciples when recruiting disciples?
Ma Rui nodded, not caring about his brother's contempt in his words. He casually pulled away his scattered hair and walked out confidently.
At this moment, there was no excitement or frustration as before. Instead, I calmly analyzed the situation: I have been traveling through time for more than two months, but there has not been any special features. Today I just discovered a change in smell, which shows that the key was last night!
Before going to bed, there is only one thing that is different from the past: I ate the meat of the monster iron-backed and steel-bred porcupine! In my previous life, Ma Rui knew a cold knowledge: pigs have a sense of smell that are more sensitive than dogs!
The appearance is the mutation of the sense of smell, while the profound meaning contained in essence is that Ma Rui can obtain the ability of monsters! The way to obtain it is through eating!
Moreover, according to the reactions of the maid Meier and her brother Ma Xiang, the two who also ate the monsters did not gain the same strange sense of smell as Ma Rui. It seemed that this ability only took effect on the time traveler!
If this is the case, Ma Rui undoubtedly found a faster and easier way to become stronger than the boring and bumpy path of cultivation!
Eat with ease!
"Mei'er, go to the kitchen to see if there is any remaining iron-backed steel-bristled pork meat!" Ma Ruifeng rushed into the room and washed quickly while instructing the maid who was sitting tremblingly at the corner and pulling the corner of his clothes, "The internal organs are fine! Take them all!"
What Ma Rui wants to confirm now is whether he can gain the ability of monsters through large amounts of consumption. Maybe he didn't eat enough yesterday, so that the five elements breath needs to be closely attached to it to smell it, and it seems that there is still room for improvement.
Soon, the maid panted and brought a large pot of pig intestine. This was the only porcupine ingredient left in the kitchen. It was as wealthy as the horse's family. Naturally, the overnight meal would not be placed on the owner's table. These pig intestines were originally the food of the servants' servants, and Mei'er took the whole pot and also caused great dissatisfaction among the chefs.
The young master Ma Rui didn't care about thanking Mei'er for the "meat" he won, and devoted all his energy to suppressing his constantly churning stomach. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still upset by the fishy smell and sticky yellow soup. His familiar expression from Jacky Cheung's mind couldn't help but appear in his mind: You'll eat shit!
Regardless of whether the pig intestine was washed or the strange herbs caused the suspicious soup, Ma Rui could only take out the courage of a hero to cut off his arm, frowned, and did not care about the dining etiquette of any wealthy families. He pinched his nose and threw the pig intestine into his mouth piece after piece like swallowing medicine, without even chewing, and he completely relied on swallowing.
Mei'er was already shocked! The Ma family is a big business, and the young masters are elegant and elegant. Not to mention internal organs, they don't even eat leftovers. Who would have thought that the young master actually likes to eat pigs so much, and it's still the leftovers from yesterday!
When the last piece of large intestine entered her stomach, Ma Rui quickly waved her hand and asked Meier to take away the soup bowl that was constantly radiating, then brewed a pot of strong tea and began to rinse her mouth.
"I'll go for a rest." Ma Rui also felt embarrassed. Now he felt that he was emitting poisonous gas as soon as he opened his mouth. He quickly sent the maid away and went into the bedroom alone, sitting next to the bed with a close door, hoping to feel sleepy like yesterday.
Unfortunately, until the sunset was till the west, there was no change at all except the feeling of fullness in the stomach.
During this waiting period, Ma Rui gradually realized that he might be the same as Spider-Man in his previous life. He was bitten by a radiated spider to gain the ability of the spider, and even a hundred bites would not cause any new changes. If you want to become stronger, you need to improve your combat skills and strengthen your inner will. Unless you encounter other mutations, your ability will not change.
In other words, the pig's large intestine is in vain.
Ma Rui rubbed his eyebrows and relieved his depression, but fortunately, he just came up with a new solution, maybe he could give it a try!
Since you are looking for monsters to eat, Ma Rui thought of medicinal materials! Monsters are rare and dangerous and fierce. It is a fantasy to buy fresh monster meat at the butcher shop, but they may be stored for a long time as medicinal materials, such as deer antler and bear's paw in the previous life.
Crunch-
The door opened, Ma Rui appeared at the door, facing the careful look of the maid Meier. After hesitating for a moment, Ma Rui asked lightly: "Are you free? Come with me to go shopping on the street."
Ma Rui's purpose this time cannot be clearly stated. It is best to look for it alone, but he has hardly left the gate of the mansion for two months, so he can only ask for help from the maid.
For Mei'er, this was obviously a date invitation from the young master! Mei'er was a little busy and hurriedly tidied up her hairstyle and clothes, lowered her head and followed Ma Rui out.
"Where is the clinic?" It was not until he walked out of the gate and looked at the busy street that Ma Rui scratched his head and turned around embarrassedly to ask the maid behind him with a flushed face.
"You, come with me..." Although the date was a bit weird, Mei'er still did not forget the maid's duties and hurried into a small alley.
After all, Ma Rui is a man and his steps are older than that of a girl. Although he is a maid leading the way, he walked to Mei'er in a few steps, and immediately changed from being in front of the master and servant to walking side by side with his master and servant, turning into a winding bluestone path.
This is a metallic constitution, similar to yourself.
That person has a wood attribute constitution, which is weaker than himself.
This one has a stronger aura, and it is estimated that its strength has reached the foundation-building stage. Tsk tsk, it seems that there are quite a lot of cultivators.
Ma Rui carefully distinguished the smell all the way. Each passerby has his own five elements breath. However, according to his personal cultivation level, the odors emitted vary in concentration. Most of them are very light, which is lighter than Ma Rui's Qi Refining Period, and they should not be considered a cultivator. However, occasionally you can meet slightly stronger cultivators, such as the security patrol personnel in Fenglin Town, who are wearing uniforms and are stronger than Ma Rui.
Mei'er was nervous all the way. The young master didn't walk well at all. He leaned to the left and then tilted to the right. Mei'er was very worried about when the young master tilted and leaned against him. There were so many people on the road, what if someone saw it?
Fortunately, the clinic is not far away. Soon Mei'er stopped at the entrance of a two-story building, and a wooden plaque was hung in half in the air, with a green ink saying: Deshengtang.
The door of the small building was open, people came and went, the windows on the second floor were half-closed, and bursts of blue smoke were covered with the smell of medicinal materials, making Ma Rui a little dazed. Did he travel to other worlds or to the past?
"Oh! Young Master Ma Rui!" A loud greeting came from the room, interrupting the dazed Ma Rui.
Chapter completed!
