"That... Shen... Shen, tell it to come down!" Siyu blushed and called Shen Shen's name a little stiffly.
"Yes, Master." Shen Shen straightened her waist, pointed at the little ginseng essence on Xiaosan's butt, and said a few words. The ginseng essence was indeed obedient and relaxed, and ran away in a hurry.
Xiaosan let out a long sigh of relief, and his small red tongue lolled out, looking as cute as a puppy.
"Okay, since it was a false alarm, let's continue on our way. It's getting dark, so go ahead and see if there's any shelter from the wind." Ximen Chen put away his sword and said to everyone.
Siyu frowned. Pointing at the ginseng essences crawling all over the ground, he asked, "Then, what should I do with these ginseng essences?"
Ares looked at the ginseng essence on the ground, rubbing it with his hands, with greedy lust in his eyes.
"Master, I beg you, please let go of these children of mine, I beg you." As if feeling the desire emanating from Ares, Shen Shen was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and kowtowed, her bald head hitting the ground.
Banging sound.
"Shenshen, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"If the master doesn't agree to Shen Shen's request, Shen Shen won't get up."
"I didn't say what to do with your children. Besides, I can't bring your children with me."
Shen Shen's eyes lit up. Siyu's words did not reveal any greed for those little ginseng spirits. Even though he was as stupid as dead wood after thousands of years of dealing with things, he already had some intelligence. Not long after Siyu's words came out, he
I patted my brain and said excitedly.
"We have found a solution for Shen Shen. Master can take them on the road together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shen suddenly changed and returned to his original form. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Shen Shen made strange sounds one after another.
After hearing the sound, the little ginsengs on the ground all moved in order, each with their long beards, crawling up the tall body of the ginseng. Siyu noticed that the little ginsengs also had no arms and legs.
Some of them just have long beards, and their climbing movements are also very special. They use the beards on their hands and feet to wrap around the raised knots on the ginseng body to climb up, just like stepping on stepping stones.
, the speed is not slow at all.
After a while, hundreds of little ginseng spirits climbed onto Shen Shen's tall body. Each ginseng spirit was tightly wrapped around a raised knot, like roots.
.
Shen Shen shook her head proudly and turned back into a human body. What surprised everyone even more was that all the little ginseng spirits on Shen Shen's body disappeared, replaced by Shen Shen's head full of earthy-yellow long hair. Only the roots of those hairs
The roots are strong and branching out like branches, without the flexibility of hair. But fortunately, from a distance, Shen Shen finally looks a bit human.
"Haha, Master, this is okay." Shen Shen pulled the hair on her forehead proudly.
Siyu smiled dryly. At this moment, he felt in his heart that the world was full of wonders, and it was truly wonderful. However, sometimes, the wonders were too much, such as Shen Shen's terrifying age and funny appearance.
"Ahem, okay, let's continue on our way."
After Ximenchen said that, he buried his head and left. He probably had the same feelings as Siyu, and he really quoted the sentence: people are scary, and they are scared to death.
It was already dusk, and four people and one beast were humming in the vast jungle and shrubs. Here was a hill, stretching for more than ten miles, but except for some ordinary beasts, there were no more threats. This mountain range is
Ximen Chen accidentally discovered that by climbing over this mountain range, you can see the shadow of the five mountains. It can be said to be a shortcut.
Not far into the mountain, halfway up the mountain, everyone slowly stopped, "Okay, there is a cave over there, let's spend the night here." Ximen Chen pointed to a half-covered abandoned cave not far away and suggested.
.
Ares moved forward quickly and removed the branches and leaves from the entrance of the cave. The entire cave suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. The cave was not deep and only stretched inward for a few meters. However, it could still hide from the wind and frost. For cultivators like them, the environment had not had much impact on them.
"Well, that's good, let's just hang out here tonight." Siyu clapped his hands. Now he is the boss of everyone. With a wave of his hand, everyone started to go their separate ways. It was almost dark.
Shen Shen gathered dry wood to light the fire, while Ximen Chen and Ares hunted and cleaned the prey. The rest of the work was left to Si Yu.
The silver moon arrived as promised, and the cave had been cleaned by everyone. At this moment, a fire frame was burning at the entrance of the cave. A fat deer slowly rotated on the fire frame, and Siyu quickly sprinkled salt and pepper on the deer meat.
And some jam with flavoring effect. He carries these daily necessities in a small bottle with him in case of emergency.
The oil and water squeaked on the barbecue, and the outside had turned brown. A rich aroma wafted out, seducing the souls of the three people around him.
Siyu looked at the three people around him funny, all of them were drooling, and they had no composure at all. "Haha, don't worry, it's still a little short of heat. It will taste better if you eat it later." Siyu said no more.
Ignore them and concentrate on grilling the meat.
Shen Shen took a deep breath of air, closed her eyes and slowly savored the fragrance, and swallowed hard.
"Master, why does the food become so delicious when it comes into your hands?"
Ares on the side closed his green eyes and looked at Shenshen with a wicked smile.
"Xiao Shen, I remember that you are a plant. Plants shouldn't need to eat. Don't eat it when the meat is divided later." Ares winked and patted Shen Shen on the shoulder.
"How can that be okay? Who said I can't eat meat? I want to eat it. I want to eat it."
"Do you really want to eat?"
"I really want to eat it." Shen Shen nodded vigorously.
Ares covered his mouth and snickered, and quickly put on a serious face and said: "Then let me ask you again, boss, does the roasted meat taste good?"
"Smells, it smells so good."
"Can I give you half of the barbecue in a moment?"
"Okay, great." Shen Shen was so moved that she shed tears. Ares looked on amusedly. This first step of the seduction plan had been successful.
But Ximen Chen on the side gave up and said, "Hey, give him half, and we'll eat our shit."
"Shut up, you idiot. Half a barbecue for the sake of the boss is nothing." After receiving the message from Ares, Ximen Chen's words just came to his mouth and were still in his stomach. He knew Ares's style of doing things, so
He stopped talking and just sat aside and watched what he wanted to do.
Ares smiled again and leaned happily next to Shen Shen, "Shen Shen, you see, the boss has been working hard for most of the day and can't just eat what he wants. After all, we are also his younger brothers. Isn't it a bit bad to do this?
"
Shen Shen scratched his head, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. The consciousness of the former slave master was deeply rooted in his mind. Of course, he understood that the master could never serve the servant in turn. The probability of this happening was no better than the probability of the sun rising from the west.
Da. So Shen Shen, who suddenly figured it out, was a little scared. After all, he had only been in contact with Siyu for less than half a day and didn't understand his character yet.
"Yes...yes, what should we do?"
"It's easy to handle. As long as you give me some benefits or something, maybe when our boss is happy, he will generously give us meat to eat." Ares took a step closer to trick him.
"But, I don't have anything to exchange for it?"
Ares looked at Shen Shen thoughtfully and said with a half-smile, "That's not necessarily the case. For example, Jing Yuan is pretty good."
As soon as Shen Shen heard this, her face turned green. She quickly covered her stomach and said repeatedly: "I don't have essence, I really don't have essence."
Ares shook his head pretending to be pity, "Hey, that's going to be difficult. The boss doesn't like anything that's too bad, and you don't have anything good. It seems like this meat is not for you."
After saying that, Ares turned around helplessly and walked towards Siyu. Ximenchen on the side seemed to have figured out the clue, and his smile gradually grew in his eyes as he looked at Shen Shen.
At this moment, Siyu's barbecue was finally finished. When the barbecue was taken off the fire rack, a strong aroma poured into Shenshen's nose, constantly impacting his nerves.
Watching everyone cutting the meat and sharing it, the color of Shen Shen's face changed again and again, her eyes kept flickering, her fists were clenched, and her palms were soaked with sweat and became damp.
Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Shen's mind, but none of them could compare with the overwhelming aroma of the barbecue in front of her. What's more, the food that had been buried underneath for thousands of years had long since faded out of the bird's mouth, and the temptation of food was even greater than before.
Moreover, no matter what, the person in front of him is always his master. Thinking of this, Shencan no longer feels any melancholy.
"Master, Shen Shen wants half of the venison." Shen Shen walked to Si Yu stupidly, handed over a silver ball in his hand, looked at the whole venison next to Si Yu, and her mouth watered.
"Shencan, what are you doing?"
Siyu looked at the thing in Shen Shen's hand strangely and looked at him in confusion.
No one knew where the silver ball in Shen Shen's hand came from, only Ares saw it. As the first generation owner of Shen Shen, Ares naturally knew that Shen Shen, an old monster who had lived for thousands of years, would
Is there something good? That silver bead was the one Shen Shen swallowed from her mouth just now.
Ares couldn't hide his excitement, snatched the silver bead from Shen Shen, pulled Siyu and walked deeper into the cave. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Ximen Chen, "Give that boy half, and the rest."
We will split the bet equally."
Siyu was inexplicably pulled into a corner by Ares, and took the silver bead from Ares's hand like a thief.
"Ares, what is this?"
"Ginseng Essence!"..."It's still ten thousand years old." After a pause, Ares added.
"You mean, this is Shencan's stuff!"
"Yes, boss, please eat it quickly. Ginseng is the first of all herbs. You may be able to regain your power by eating it."
Siyu smiled bitterly and shook his head. It seemed that Ares also regarded himself as a feeding machine.
"What about Shen Shen? This is his essence. If I eat it, will it affect him?"
"If it affects him, he won't take it out. Don't worry, boss. This beast has lived for thousands of years and has become a master a long time ago. He will never do anything that is not good for him."
"Oh~~~" Siyu nodded long and looked at the silver bead in his hand in confusion.
"Can eating this really restore my power?"
"Maybe, boss, please eat quickly and I will protect you." Ares's eyes gradually revealed a kind of concern.
Siyu hummed, raised his head, swallowed the silver beads, and began to meditate for digestion.
Seeing Siyu enter trance, Ares let out a long breath, jumped out of the cave like flying, and joined the crowd of venison eaters. In a flash of wind, a whole deer was cut up cleanly.
The mistress was sighing pitifully at the side all the time. Her swollen and sore butt made her unable to have any appetite. She could only look at the three people with red eyes and hummed silently at the big residual cloud.
…
In the early morning of the next day, the morning light penetrated the morning mist, making it colorful. Outside the cave, green smoke was still floating from the burnt charcoal. Inside the cave, Ximen Chen and three people quietly gathered around Siyu and waited.
At this time, bursts of energy fluctuations came from Siyu's body. Although it was not very powerful, it excited Ximenchen and others who were waiting aside.
Siyu is now like a magnetic field generator, emitting a wave of energy every once in a while. Ares accumulates the energy in his eyes and can clearly see this wonderful moment. Every vibration is caused by
With Siyu as the center, it ripples like water, and the energy molecules in the air fluctuate around like ripples, which is extremely wonderful.
Unknowingly, the sun climbed above the head again. Everyone only heard a soft cracking sound like "呲~~", and the energy magnetic field surrounding Siyu all surged back into Siyu's body. In the expectant eyes of everyone, Siyu
Wake up quietly.
Looking at the eyes of the three people in front of him, Siyu smiled bitterly. Of course he knew what the three of them wanted to know most. He shook his head helplessly and said softly: "I have completely absorbed Shen Shen's essence. I don't know.
Why, when I absorbed that piece of essence, I felt that there was an energy in my body that was faintly resonating with it. The Yuanying that had been closed had also grown a lot, and there was a slight sign of awakening. Unfortunately, it was still bad in the end.
One step cannot be crossed, and the energy has only been restored by 20%."
Ximen Chen patted Siyu on the shoulder, this was already the best result.
Everyone silently packed up and continued on their way back. As expected, they would be able to cross this mountain range in two days and see the Five Mountains in the distance.
As everyone knows, the territory of Wushan is already filled with undercurrents...
