The hot pot feast lasted very late, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal. For people who lived in ancient times, this meal was the most satisfying they had ever had.
"Sister, just follow the saint's practice and don't worry about anything else. Come out and see us when you have time." Fuxi said to Nuwa before leaving.
"Well, don't worry, brother, they are all good to me." Nuwa nodded.
Everyone bid farewell to Chang Qing and his friends with satisfaction, and agreed to come back next time to try other delicacies. After the meal, everyone got to know Chang Qing better and knew that he was an informal person. Although they still respected him, they still had deep feelings for him. A little more closeness.
Tongtian walked alone at the end of the crowd, looking back from time to time. In fact, just now at the dinner table, he wanted to propose learning swordsmanship from Changqing, because during the meal, he learned from the Black Emperor that the best thing about Saint Changqing was swordsmanship. For him in his heart, For Tongtian, who has regarded swordsmanship as his lifelong pursuit, no one is more qualified to teach him than Changqing.
Changqing looked at Tongtian's appearance and felt secretly amused. Unexpectedly, the future famous leader of Jiaojiao also had such a side when he was young. However, he did not point out the other party. Some things need to be fought for by oneself.
Sure enough, when he was about to step out of the farm boundary, Tongtian gritted his teeth, and under the surprised eyes of Fuxi and others, turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Changqing.
"Junior Brother Tongtian."
"Tongtian, what's wrong with you?"
Dijiang and Hongyun were shocked by this situation and shouted quickly, but Tongtian still ran forward.
"That's all, fellow Taoist Tongtian has his own ideas." Zhen Yuanzi said at this time. Among them, Zhen Yuanzi is the strongest when it comes to a person's heart. He had sensed Tongtian's motives when they were eating just now.
"Let him go, I hope he can get what he wants." Fu Xi also said.
Then several people left the farm on their own.
On Changqing's side, everyone was still where they were, and they naturally saw Tongtian's movements.
"Hey, why did he come back?" Black Emperor said.
"Nu Wa, you may have one more junior brother." Shi Feixuan said to Nu Wa beside her.
"Really?" Nuwa said in surprise.
Although he met Tongtian for the first time today, since he came with his brother, he must be someone recognized by his brother, so she did not reject him in her heart, and the two of them also exchanged a few words during the dinner.
Tongtian quickly came to Changqing, then knelt down with his head turned.
"Tongtian begs the saint to accept me as his disciple and teach me the art of swordsmanship."
After speaking, he kowtowed several times, then raised his head and looked at Changqing longingly, his eyes full of sincerity.
"I won't accept a disciple easily. The key to whether you can be my disciple is not me, but you."
"You are also a sincere person. I will give you a chance. You can stay here first."
After Changqing finished speaking, he called Nuwa over.
"I have found a helper for you, so let him help you take care of the farmland first." After saying this, Changqing drifted away.
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be so brave." Black Emperor and Wukong also walked over.
"Since the master is keeping you, let me take you to where you live first." Wukong said.
"Early tomorrow morning, you can wait for me in the fields." Nuwa also said to Tongtian at this time.
"Yes, thank you, senior sister." Tongtian said quickly.
In this way, Tongtian's figure began to appear around Nuwa. After Tongtian knew that Nuwa had been sealed and cultivated, he also found Changqing and asked him to cultivate himself into a seal. Changqing had nothing to do.
From then on, Tongtian also joined the farming industry. He dug the ground for the first time, irrigated it for the first time, and then watched the crops grow. All this made him feel something he had never felt before.
Because Changqing did not use the farm privileges, it took more than three months for the corn planted by Nuwa and Tongtian to mature. In this way, the two of them worked in the fields every day, even getting used to being covered in mud. During this period, Nannan and Qinglin occasionally Came to find the two of them playing.
On this day, after finishing their work, Tongtian and Nuwa sat beside the field ridge and chatted.
Looking at the green cornfield in front of him, Tongtian felt a sense of pride in his heart. Since he was born in the prehistoric times, he has been practicing with his two brothers without even thinking about why he should practice. Although tens of thousands of years have passed, it belongs to him. However, my time is very limited. Now think about it, is my life just for endless practice? Then life would be too boring.
"Senior sister, I have understood a truth in the past few days." Tongtian said to Nuwa beside him.
"Oh, what's the point?" Nuwa said with interest.
"I think the meaning of the saint's move is to let us understand the meaning of life. Look at the crops in this field, from sowing to growing to maturity, it is a life process. This process is extremely beautiful, but our previous cultivation was I ignored a lot," Tongtian sighed.
"Junior brother is so perceptive. It has only taken you a few days to realize this. It took senior sister nearly a month to understand." Nuwa praised.
"Sister, I'm so impressed. I followed my two brothers to practice deep in the Kunlun Mountains, but I never thought about anything unrelated to practice. Now that I think about those tens of thousands of years, apart from practice, I have nothing worth remembering. , It’s really sad.” Tongtian shook his head and said.
Nuwa also nodded and said, "I am similar to you, but fortunately my brother is a restless person. Occasionally we will go to other places in the wilderness for walks, which is not too boring."
"Sister, how long will it take for these corns to mature?" Tongtian suddenly asked.
"I heard from Qinglin that it will take another two months," Nuwa said.
"I'm really looking forward to it." After Tongtian finished speaking, he lay comfortably on the ground.
Time flies so fast and two months are here in a blink of an eye.
Chang Qing led everyone to the corn field. At this time, the corn was fully mature and it was the harvest season.
"Young Master, can't you use your cultivation? There are so many." Shi Feixuan said.
"There are so many, I'm afraid it will take us several days to pick them all." Dongfang Bubai said.
Today is the day to pick corn, but Chang Qing does not allow everyone to use their cultivation skills, otherwise he can harvest all the corn with just one thought.
"I've never let you harvest it yourself before, so this time, let me give it a try."
After Changqing finished speaking, he walked straight into the cornfield and started skimming the corn. This reminded him of the time when he lived with his grandfather, and the same was true for him and his grandson.
"Brother, Nannan can't reach it." Nannan said aggrievedly at this time. Because she couldn't use cultivation and she was small, she couldn't reach the corn at all.
"Hahaha, I was negligent. My brother picked it up and threw it on the ground. You are responsible for picking it up and putting it away." Chang Qing said.
"Yeah." Nannan suddenly became happy.
"Okay, everyone, let's get started. Today, just count as many as you can pick today, and let's talk about the rest." Chang Qing said, after all, there are too many, and without cultivation, everyone will definitely not be able to pick them all in one day.
Then Tongtian and Nuwa took the first step. After all, it was the hard work of the two of them for several months. No matter what, they had to pick it with their own hands.
"Let's go. Come to think of it, I haven't picked anything from the ground myself." Dongfang Bubai said.
"Hei Huang, you and Wukong are responsible for taking the corn that everyone has picked outside." Xiao Longnu directed.
"okay."
In this way, more than a dozen people started to get busy. At first, no one could find a way. They often broke the corns or pulled out the whole corns without controlling the strength. As time went by, everyone gradually understood the key, and the speed became faster.
This was the first time that they had done farm work like this, so everyone was very happy, especially Nanny. The little guy crawled around to pick up corn for everyone, and she looked like a mud monkey.
Chang Qing saw that it was almost time, and everyone had picked a lot. His goal was achieved, so he asked everyone to stop. Then with a wave of his hand, all the corn in the field was collected into the system space, leaving only the portion of corn picked by everyone on the ground.
"Okay, everyone, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Hei, Wukong, please transport the corn back, and we will make a corn dinner later." Chang Qing said.
"Okay, Master."
"Brother, is the corn delicious?" Nannan said.
"Haha, there are many ways to make corn. Brother will make buttered popcorn for you later." Chang Qing said, although popcorn requires dry corn, it is just a piece of cake for him.
"Yeah, that's great." Nannan said happily.
"Let's go. After harvesting the corn, we have to pull out the husks." Chang Qing said.
At night, the table was filled with food made from corn, including polenta, tortillas, grilled corn, boiled corn, fried corn, and even popcorn made by Chang Qing for his daughter.
"Click, click, it's delicious, brother, it's delicious." Nannan said happily with her mouth full of popcorn.
"I didn't expect that there are so many ways to eat this thing." Dongfang Bubai said. Although she had eaten this in the Ming Dynasty, she only cooked it briefly and ate it. After all, this thing was not popular at that time.
"Hey, Tongtian, you've eaten a lot." Hei Huang couldn't help but complain as he watched Tongtian finish eating corn after corn.
"Well, it's delicious. I grew this. It tastes different as expected." After that, he took another one.
"Haha, that's right. Food should not be disappointed or wasted. Being able to eat is a blessing." Chang Qing also said with a smile.
"This corn cake is delicious and sweet. Please try it, sister." Qing Lin handed Nuwa a corn cake and said.
"Well, thank you sister." Nuwa took it and said.
"Nuwa, you can give some to your brother and the others later." Changqing said.
"Well, thank you, master." Nuwa said happily.
"Senior sister, I will go with you to see him off." Tongtian said quickly. He has not been out for two months.
"Brother, can I give some to Aunt Yuanfeng?" Nannan said. Yuanfeng is very kind to her, and the little guy also likes to be with her.
"Haha, why not? In that case, just give some to Zulong and the others. There are a lot of them anyway. At worst, you can plant them after eating them." Chang Qing said.
"Hehe, that's great. Aunt Yuanfeng will definitely like it." Nannan also said happily.
