Chapter 375 The Mysterious Old Man
Since we are just going to wander around, we can choose a place with good scenery, and then Xiao Jin will take them there.
Yuan Xiao saw a place with green grass and lush vegetation in the distance, and a dense forest, so he asked Xiao Jin to explore in that direction.
Because there are so many space fragments, Xiao Jin only flew about ten feet in front of the two people, using his innate instinct of being sensitive to energy fluctuations to find those space fragments one by one and lead the two to bypass them.
Xiao Jin's detection is much more accurate than the compass in Sanhua's hand, and it is very fast. Sanhua looked down at the compass in his hand, then looked up at Xiao Jin, and suddenly felt that the compass in his hand, which he always treasured, was not fragrant!
After walking for about an hour, they finally slowly approached the grove. At this time, there was green grass under their feet, flowers blooming next to them, and there were several pairs of butterflies flying above, and even a few fairy locusts wandering nearby!
"Little Bald Head, did you find any problems?" Yuan Xiao suddenly asked.
"What's the problem? What's the problem? I didn't notice it!" Sanhua said casually.
"Within 100 feet of this small forest, the environment suddenly improved a lot, and all the space fragments disappeared. Don't you have any feelings?" Yuanxiao teased Sanhua.
"I don't have any feelings at all! I didn't fight here back then, how could I know why there are no space fragments in this area!" Sanhua said.
"Look at the deep woods in front, is there a wisp of green smoke?" Yuanxiao reminded.
Sanhua then looked carefully, and it was just as Yuanxiao said, there was a wisp of green smoke coming out from the deep woods, which was easy to ignore if you didn't look carefully.
"Just say whatever you think, I'm too lazy to think about these, it's better to listen to the ready-made comfort!" Sanhua shouted.
"This should be a comfortable environment created by humans! The scenery is beautiful and there are small animals to accompany. Only when people live here for a long time will they be in the mood to repair it so exquisitely!" Yuanxiao began to talk.
"As for the lack of space debris here, it may have been specially cleaned up by someone. This person should be the one who lives here!"
"This person is definitely not a small cultivator like us. Those who can clean up space debris are probably not able to do it in the Mahayana stage. The Mahayana cultivators have only mastered some of the power of space. They can use it but may not be able to clean up these space debris. Combined with the fact that this is a fragment of an ancient battlefield in the ninth heaven of the fairyland, this person is most likely an immortal!"
"As for the location of this wisp of cooking smoke, it should be where this person lives. If I am not mistaken, this person is grilling food. Because, I have smelled a little fragrance!" Yuanxiao closed his eyes after saying this and began to feel the fragrance.
Sanhua sniffed, but smelled nothing, and said angrily: "Why can't I smell it! It's really a dog's nose! Really smart!"
"With your attitude, if I get food later, don't rob me! Not to mention the window, there is not even a door!" Yuanxiao returned what Sanhua said before.
"If there really is an immortal here, it would be good enough if I didn't beat you to death, and I would even give you food to eat? You're dreaming! Don't say you know me when you get beaten! Let's draw a clear line!" Sanhua didn't care about loyalty at all.
"Okay, then don't say you know me either!" Yuanxiao also laughed, and then walked boldly with Xiaojin in front of Sanhua.
As expected, it was exactly the same as Yuanxiao said just now. There was no space debris in the grove and the surrounding 100 feet. It was very safe!
As soon as he entered the grove, Yuanxiao saw a trampled trail, which immediately proved that his guess was right. There were people living in the woods, and this trail was proof!
Yuanxiao didn't walk around randomly, and walked directly along this trail. This was the fastest way, and he wouldn't go the wrong way!
After walking for a while, Yuanxiao smelled the aroma of meat. Sure enough, someone was grilling food.
Yuanxiao's smile grew thicker!
And the bald Sanhua still couldn't smell the aroma of meat at this time. It seemed that his nose was really dull.
Yuanxiao complained in his heart: No wonder this bald man can go more than two years without washing his feet, it turns out that his nose is not sharp and he can't smell it! He uses it all to smoke others!
The two people and the beast turned a corner from behind a big tree and finally saw a small open space.
There is a small thatched house here, and there is an open space in front of the house. A bonfire is burning. Two fairy locusts are being strung on the grill. A short old man is sitting on a stone, fiddling with the locusts attentively!
The old man didn't care about the arrival of Yuanxiao and Sanhua at all. He was still concentrating on grilling, as if the locust was the top priority!
"Big brother, although the way you grill it is very fragrant, it is still a little imperfect!" Yuanxiao is also an expert in grilling. He often grilled in the wild when he went to the mountains to hunt before, so he naturally had something to talk about.
"Oh, tell me about it." Although the short old man answered, he didn't turn his head.
"First, if the locusts are too close to the fire, the skin will be burned into charcoal, and the inside will not be cooked. It is better to keep a little distance. Although it takes longer to bake, the skin will not be burnt." Yuanxiao began to talk.
"Second, we can speed up the rotation speed to ensure that the whole body is heated evenly and finished in one go!"
"The last one is the most critical. Although the big brother is good at hands-on work, he suffers from the lack of seasoning, so that the locusts only have fragrance but lack other tastes! It is really heartbreaking!" Yuanxiao laughed.
"Do you have it?" The short old man finally turned his head and looked at Yuanxiao.
The short old man's face changed, and his eyes flashed with light, obviously surprised!
No way, what a coincidence!
"Seasonings, I really have them, and they are very complete!" Yuanxiao didn't notice the short old man's face, and took out a lot of bottles and jars.
Not to mention oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, they are all there. In addition, pepper, Sichuan pepper powder, chili powder, cumin powder, garlic, five-spice powder, barbecue sauce, cooking wine... everything is available, and half a stone is filled up in an instant.
The short old man's eyes lit up again. He hadn't been out for thousands of years. Where could he get these seasonings? He had been eating original food. Although the original flavor is nutritious, if you eat it for a long time, your mouth will be bland!
Now seeing so many different kinds of seasonings at once, how can the short old man not be greedy! He is happier than getting a few treasures!
"Big brother, please sit down. I'll show you my skills today. We'll have dinner later!" Yuanxiao said as he took out a few small brushes, put various seasonings on them, and started to smear them on the two locusts. His movements were very skillful, and he looked like an expert!
The short old man really sat down and waited at ease. Although he was drooling, he still held back! It's not easy. It's really hard for him who hasn't tasted seasonings for thousands of years!
With the addition of seasonings, the fairy locusts that were about to be roasted were not only fragrant, but other smells also began to waft out. The short old man took a deep breath and was very intoxicated!
Even Sanhua, who was about to draw a line with Yuanxiao just now, couldn't help but roll his Adam's apple and swallowed his saliva several times in a row!
Even if his nose was dull, the locusts were in front of him, and he could smell the deliciousness!
