Chapter 22 Eating wild pepper can also increase strength
On the table, the originally dense white meat soup had changed color, becoming as red as fire, with a faint smell of wild pepper.
Gong Liang took a spoonful of it and immediately felt a spicy, flaming flavor that hit his throat and stimulated the base of his tongue.
He quickly gnawed on a meat bone, but the spicy taste did not weaken. Instead, it spread to the roots of his ears, forcing him to shed a few spicy tears. He quickly gnawed on another bone, and the spicy taste was slightly suppressed.
, but my lips were burning, as if they were being eaten by thousands of very tiny ants, like itching, numbing, and spicy.
He felt like he was about to burst into flames.
This wild sansho pepper was really spicy, but luckily it was diluted, otherwise he would have been burned to death like the giant turtle by the stream.
However, it is also very spicy. It is like a hot woman. Although it is as fiery as fire, people can’t help but want to get close to it. People who really love chili peppers will especially like this wild sansho pepper.
Just like a real drinker loves strong liquor.
After eating and taking a rest, the spicy feeling lingering in my mouth has not subsided.
Gongliang drank some water and didn't care. He started doing his homework every night, beating his body with an iron rod, and then sat down on the bed.
When he fell into tranquility, a little bit of zhenqi in his Dantian began to linger in his body. The wild pepper that he had eaten was driven by the zhenqi at this time, and the fiery spiciness came out, and the heat surged. For a moment, the temperature of his body increased.
The temperature rises, and beads of sweat as big as mung beans seep out from the pores of his body.
It's just that Gongliang didn't seem to notice it, he still closed his eyes and concentrated on thinking, trapped in the empty and empty realm.
After a while, the spiciness has finished dissipating, the temperature has dropped, sweat no longer seeps out of the pores, and the true energy has slowly returned to the Dantian to lie dormant.
Gongliang opened his eyes and found that his whole body was soaked. He didn't know what was going on. He quickly went to take a shower, then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, he was in surprisingly good spirits, full of energy, and his strength seemed to have increased a little. He couldn't believe it, so he went out to the jungle with a knife to chop down the trees. Sure enough, he had grown a little bit. Although it was very small, he still grew
You can feel it. What's going on? He didn't eat the meat of ferocious beasts yesterday, so how could he gain strength?
Surprised, he began to think about what he had eaten yesterday.
It’s nothing, just ordinary animal meat. Could it be wild sansho pepper?
It's impossible. It's not like he's never eaten wild mountain pepper. Could it be that it's only effective after reaching a certain amount? Gongliang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason. However, except for wild mountain pepper, he really couldn't think of anything else that would make him happy.
It is something that increases strength, so he tried it again at night. After several days of testing, he finally confirmed that the reason for increasing his strength was wild sansho pepper, but it had to reach a certain amount, not too little.
He didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. From then on, in addition to the meat of ferocious beasts, he also had wild pepper that could increase his strength.
He didn't get fat by eating alone, so he recommended wild sansho pepper to the Oishi family. Unfortunately, they were okay with a little spicy food, but not at all if they ate too much. There was nothing he could do about it, he could only keep this secret to himself.
Three days later, the hunting team returned and held a sacrifice. Thanks to this sacrifice, under the double impact of the clear current of sparks and the fire energy of wild pepper, the zhenqi in his Dantian suddenly increased by half, almost reaching the size of a mung bean. This made Gongliang
I'm very happy. If there were more, maybe it could really be used to attack the acupoints and meridians.
The Yan tribe implements a rotating hunting system. When a hunting team returns, the hunting team that originally stayed with the tribe will go out to hunt, thus ensuring that the tribe receives a continuous supply of food.
So, the day after the hunting team returned, Gongliang set off with the hunting team.
Dashi is only thirteen years old this year and has to wait until next year before he can go hunting with everyone, so he can only stand with Xiao Xiaoshi and a group of companions at the gate of the village and watch Gong Liang and his father leave.
Yuhan and Wu stood on the boulder and looked at the hunting team that was gradually retreating. They made up their minds and said: "Wu, I want to go hunting too."
"Then you have to engrave the Yan pattern on your little beast first." Wu said.
"Wu, I have learned the Yan pattern, let's carve the Yan pattern on Xiao Yuyu!" Yuhan looked at Wu and said.
"You have really learned. You have to think clearly. This is a major matter that affects your little beast's life. There is no room for mistakes. Otherwise, your little beast may be seriously injured or die directly."
"Wu, I really learned it. Now I can draw Yan patterns with my eyes closed."
"Well, let's go and engrave the Yan pattern on your little beast."
Wu took Yuhan to a secret room. Yuhan sat on the animal skin and silently thought about the Yan patterns taught by Wu. Xiao Yuyu lay beside him, afraid to make a sound. Wu took out a crystal bottle from the stone wall next to him.
It is filled with thick blood. When you open it, you will not smell the fishy smell of blood, but the fragrance of green grass, which makes people's minds clear.
"Think carefully about the Yan pattern I taught you, and then use the spiritual liquid to carve the Yan pattern on your little beast's head. Remember not to make any mistakes, otherwise not only will something happen to your little beast, but you may also be injured."
Wu handed the crystal bottle to Yuhan and solemnly warned him again.
"Um"
Yuhan nodded heavily, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then began to carve Yan patterns on Xiaoyuyu's head. Xiaoyuyu looked at Yuhan stupidly, not knowing what she was going to do.
Wu looked at Yuhan nervously. This flame pattern is a bridge between Yuhan and her little beast. If it succeeds, Yuhan can gain the ability to control beasts, and her little beast can not only communicate with her, but also gain huge
It's a pity that the engraving of Yan patterns cannot replace it, otherwise it would be better for him to inscribe it himself than for her to be a child. Once he replaces it, if the little beast has any resistance to him, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Not only will the little beast die, but also his
The soul may also be injured.
He likes Yuhan because of her ability to communicate with little beasts.
If the engraving can be successful this time, this dense pattern that has been left in the corner for nearly a hundred years will be able to regain its luster, and the tribe will have one more asset to survive in this wilderness.
Gongliang followed the hunting team as he walked in the forest. The trees got bigger and darker as he went inside. At this moment, the wild scenery appeared one by one in front of his eyes. Uncle Tulei next to him kept telling him about the jungle.
It was only now that he discovered that what he learned in the hunting ground was just the basics. Everything only began in the forest.
For example, like tree vines: some tree vines are poisonous and cannot be touched; some tree vines have water, and if there is a lack of water, you can cut down the vines for drinking; some tree vines have tough skin and can be peeled off to make ropes; some tree vines
They are crisp and break when touched; some vines are like bloodthirsty beasts. If you approach them accidentally, they will be devoured, which is very scary.
These are the survival skills that our ancestors have gained through countless bloody experiences in the jungle. An honest man dare not be careless and keep them all in mind.
The huge hunting team reached the depths of the forest and began to divide into five teams to hunt separately.
When Gongliang's team reached deeper, it split into two teams. In the end, there were only ten people left in their team, led by a team leader named Bolong (read: Long). Most of the people in the team were known to Gongliang, including Dashi.
There was Tulu, there was Daga, and there were two boys who were older than him, Fenghan and Jin, and Kanglang who taught them archery. The other two were called Payan and Daoman, but he was not very familiar with them. But they were in the same tribe.
