Chapter Nineteenth: Searching for Food, Crimson Fruits
On the second day, Liangshan set out early in the morning for Zhu Family Village.
Liáng Shān rode on the donkey that had thrown him off earlier and didn't arrive at Zhù Jiā Wèn until sunset.
Liangshan and Zhu Qingyun have become husband and wife, and the Zhu family, despite having a thousand reasons to be dissatisfied with Zhu Qingyun, still received Liangshan warmly. After Liangshan explained the situation, Zhu Xian, the head of the Zhu family, immediately agreed to set out for Majiabao tomorrow to mediate.
That night, the Zhu family prepared a guest room for Liangshan to rest in, but he declined and said that his wife had instructed him to stay in the thatched hut in front of her father's grave for three days to pay his respects.
Liáng Shān's words were spoken, and the entire Zhū family sighed in admiration of their filial daughter.
Qingyun guards the spirit hut in a remote location, but it can be seen that Lao Zhangren is in a humble position at Zhujia Ditch.
Under the guidance of a young man, it took half an hour to get there.
The thatched cottage was clean and simple, with only a bed, a chair, and a bookcase. The bookcase was rich in content, with volume after volume of books. Liangshan lit the oil lamp and spread out the "Jingtu Jing" on the table, reading it over and over again.
Liáng Shān's heart was burning with anxiety, but he had to put on a show.
As he read on and on, he gradually calmed down. Liangshan couldn't help but think that just as his mother had said, the young lady was a renowned filial daughter from a hundred miles away, and a respectable family like theirs would not make things too difficult for her.
Wu Jin is working day and night with Xiao Jin to "produce" gold beans, and if all else fails, he will compensate for the losses of various families. For his wife, it's also worth revealing that there are gold mines in Liangjiazhuang.
At midnight, all around was quiet, Liangshan blew out the lights and began to search with the moonlight.
They searched for about an hour but found nothing.
In the mourning hall, the red dates can be eaten. The handwriting is rough and careless, obviously written in a hurry. Liangshan couldn't help but feel resentful - why didn't this woman tell herself earlier? Thinking again, why wasn't she worried about being discovered by other members of the Zhu family?
Is it that Zhu Guo can only be obtained by someone with a predestined affinity?
Liáng Shān zài zhǎo le yī gè shí zhēn méi zhǎo dào, chóng huí dào máo shě nèi, dìng xià xīn zǐ xún.
Translation:
Liangshan searched for another hour but couldn't find it, so he returned to the thatched cottage and carefully searched again.
Maoshe Li searched everywhere but couldn't find it, so Liangshan started circling around the thatched cottage to search for it inch by inch.
Gradually, the circle got bigger and bigger, but there was no sign of Zhu Guo. Time passed bit by bit, and Liangshan's calm heart became anxious again, until the east turned white, but still couldn't find it.
Liáng Shān straightened up, already more than 20 meters away from the thatched cottage. Looking around carefully, there were only pine and cypress trees with wisteria vines, not to mention zhū guǒ, but even fruit was nowhere to be found.
Liáng Shān searched carefully again, but found nothing. The sky was already bright, and it wasn't suitable to search openly, so he had to return to the thatched cottage.
When Liangshan came, the Zhao family had prepared three days and three nights of dry food and food, so they didn't have to worry too much about being disturbed.
Read for a while, then go out and look around for a while. Unconsciously, the day passed, the sky gradually darkened, and Liangshan began to feel some despair in his heart.
At dusk, Liangshan was pacing back and forth inside the thatched cottage, when suddenly a surge of destructive impulses rose up in his mind.
If there is no Zhu Guo, how can his own strength be improved? Liangshan can only stay in the thatched cottage for three days. After three days, he must rush to Majiabao!
Liangshan was restless and felt like he was on the verge of collapse. As a grown man, he couldn't even protect his own wife - what kind of man was he?
After a long time of turmoil, Liangshan calmed down and decided not to search around like a headless fly anymore. He would first cultivate the White Bone Flowing Light Skill. Liangshan took off his shoes and got onto bed, sitting cross-legged.
It took him twice the usual time to calm down, and suddenly a white light burst forth. When Liangshan opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him had changed. A dimly lit space appeared, with stone walls, gently flowing spring water, and grassland. On the stone wall, Liangshan saw a lush green plant, and a bright red fruit was shining with enticing light.
Pearl! Liangshan is overjoyed.
Ma's Building, Qingyu Building, the first heavy gate is the reception hall. Mr. Ma Wencai, the young master of the Ma family, warmly welcomes the visiting head of Zhujiawu Village, Zhu Xian.
The Ma family's direct descendants, 120 households, all live in the Qingyu Building. The five-story building has a ancestral hall for worship and important celebrations on the fifth floor, the fourth floor is the Ma family library, and the third to first floors are the residences of the Ma family's direct descendants.
Apart from the buildings on the ground, there are also underground armories and dungeons. Zhū Qīngyún was not detained in the dungeon, but was imprisoned in a side hall in front of the fifth heavy ancestral temple. By doing so, the Mǎ family had their own intentions.
Yin Shangzi has determined that Zhu Yingtai is a loose cultivator and not a disciple of any sect.
Scattered cultivation is self-taught, because there is no sect to rely on, the road of cultivation is very difficult. Yin Shangzi regards Zhu Yingtai as having the same nature as a rural shaman. Of course, she must be even more formidable, and has actually reached the middle stage of foundation building, which is definitely an extraordinary opportunity. Yin Shangzi really wants to know this, which is also his main reason for capturing Zhu Yingtai.
Ma Wencai was stunned as soon as he saw Zhu Yingtai.
He understood why Master wanted him to catch her. It turned out that deep down, he had been yearning to see this filial daughter again. Ma Wencai never thought that Zhu Yingtai would be so elegant and refined.
This woman, he's taken her!
Skilled in magic and yet so beautiful, also known as Bai Li Xiao Ming, this is a perfect woman.
A perfect woman should match herself.
Ma Wencai could see that she was still a virgin. Ma Wencai soon found a reason, yes, such a woman, how could she be willing to be the wife of that Liang Shanbo?
"Little girl, go to bed early! Whatever is worrying you in your heart, Ma Wencai will definitely help you get rid of it." These were the words spoken by Ma Wencai to Zhu Qingyun, and they could also be considered a promise.
Ma Wencai saw the puzzled look on Zhu Qingyun's face. He didn't explain, he already had a plan in mind, and the first step was to get Liang Shanbo to write a divorce letter, allowing her to regain her freedom.
Ma Wenzai was full of confidence, and Liang Shanbo was greedy and cunning. As long as he intimidated him and satisfied some of his demands, there was no reason why he couldn't capture him.
At this moment, Zhu Xian was right in front of him. If it were the past, Ma Wenchao would have just been polite on the surface, but now he was very sincere. "Uncle Zhu, don't misunderstand, we're only asking her to come over, there's no intention to imprison or punish her. Uncle Zhu can see her tomorrow."
"That's all right, but I heard it was because of the thefts at the Twelve Liang's residence."
Ma Wencai smiled slightly and said, "Indeed there is such a thing, but now it seems that there must be some misunderstanding. However, every country has its laws and every family has its rules. Our Ma family will just go through the motions and won't really make things difficult for you, so please don't worry!"
Zhu Xian stood up and said, "Then I can rest assured!"
"Ah!" Liangshan let out a loud shout in the cave, his whole body flushed red like a blood man.
Liangshan ate the red fruit and soon after, his abdomen began to cramp painfully. Quickly, his entire body became swollen and painful, with his skin flushing bright red. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Liangshan thought to himself, "Didn't Zhu Qingyun say that the red fruit was edible? How could it be like this?"
Liáng Shān was unaware of the true situation.
Zhu Qingyun was indeed fine after eating the Zhu fruit, provided that she had spent over a year chanting scriptures and practicing vegetarianism, purifying her body and mind to the extreme. Only then could she eat the Zhu fruit without any adverse reactions. But Liangshan was different. Although he had cultivated the White Bone Flowing Light Technique for so long, his dying body couldn't compare with Zhu Qingyun's icy purity. The reaction was naturally intense.
Liangshan was also a rogue, knowing that at the critical moment, he desperately endured without rolling all over the ground, but instead sat cross-legged, contemplating the white bones flowing with light.
After the cramp subsided, sharp pain followed, as if countless small knives were scraping his bones and flesh. Liangshan gritted his teeth, making a cracking sound, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down one by one.
Li Shanshan couldn't help it anymore, and a skull suddenly appeared in his mind.
Being tormented by a small knife like this, won't it be whittled into a skull?
It's strange to say, but the pain has actually eased a lot just by thinking about it this way.
After a long time, Zhu Guo was completely digested, and the white bones flowed with light to become white gas, which automatically circulated on the Ren and Du meridians.
Ninety-one weeks later, a fierce white gas suddenly rushed up from the coccyx, and the previous circulation was only on the skin, while this time it was the true meaning of the small heavenly cycle.
Liáng Shān knew that at the critical moment, white energy rushed up to his waist, hot and scorching beyond compare. Then the white energy slowly rose again, meeting the obstruction in his back and retreating once more.
Liáng Shān didn't get discouraged and continued to watch. It was just like a wave crashing onto the shore, again and again, and on the third time, it suddenly crashed over, Liáng Shān's entire chest, back, and shoulders relaxed, an unprecedented feeling of exhilaration arose, surprisingly even more comfortable than that with the beautiful woman*. Liáng Shān didn't indulge in pleasure or worry, and continued to charge forward.
The most difficult part to penetrate is the top of the head, after nine successive penetrations, both ears are like a thunderclap on a dry day, and the white energy finally falls down, Ren Du Er Mai suddenly opens.
When Liangshan opened his eyes again, he found himself still sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Liáng Shān vaguely realized that Zhū Guǒ was in the "small world" of the thatched cottage, and the condition for entering was to calm down.
It is indeed so. I wish Qingyun would recite the "Jingtu Jing" day and night, easily enter stillness, and naturally see this wonderful sight. It's really a vast world, where nothing is impossible.
Liang Shan slightly concentrated, the tip of his index finger suddenly burst out a cluster of blue flames, and with a wave of his hand, a cluster of phosphorus fire flew out of the window, followed by a distant rumbling sound.
Liáng Shān's body flashed, and he had already lightly jumped out of the thatched cottage. A tree as thick as a bowl suddenly crashed to the ground.
Liáng Shān felt it carefully and didn't find any scorching marks. When he touched the broken part with his hand, he suddenly had a chill run down to his bones.
Liáng Shān didn't rush down the mountain, but instead further solidified his Yin Phosphorus Technique. Afterwards, he practiced a set of White Bone Claw techniques until they were well-rehearsed and then familiarized himself with the body methods.
He suddenly leaped five or six zhang away, but couldn't fly like Zhu Qingyun. Liangshan thought to himself that this was definitely something he could do after building his foundation.
