The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 22
Qi Yuan had just finished washing and was cooking a pot of meat porridge. When he heard the noise, he turned his head and saw the boy running out of the tent naked and panicked. He couldn't help being startled.

The boy's flustered eyes didn't relax until he saw Qi Yuan.

"What's the matter, what happened? I'm here, don't be afraid."

Qi Yuan pulled him behind him, frowned, and looked at the tent.

Could it be that a wild animal broke in?
Didn't hear anything?
The guards took up their weapons one after another and surrounded them.

Don't blame them for making a fuss. It's not uncommon to encounter fierce beasts in the wilderness, so any troubles need to be paid attention to.

Otherwise, maybe when you are distracted, a ferocious beast will pop out from an unnoticed place and take your life.

Along the way, they were attacked by wild beasts several times.

A middle-aged guard named Cheng Yun stepped forward with a gun. He was also the second best in the team after Zhao Wu.

He raised the tent curtain with the point of his gun, but found nothing inside.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what the little boy was doing so suddenly?
Qi Yuan turned his head to look at the little boy who was pulled behind him, and saw that he was holding on to the skirt of his clothes tightly, and then he realized that it should be that the boy didn't see him when he woke up, and he was a little afraid that he would leave him.

Gently patted his head, and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, I won't abandon you."

After ordering everyone to disperse, Qi Yuan took the little boy back to the tent, took out the clothes he had been sewing for most of the night, and put them on for him.

Well, looking at the crooked stitches on the top, Qi Yuan himself felt a little hot in the old face, and thought that when he met the town again, he should hurry up and buy him two sets of clothes to wear.

When he took out a pair of "leather boots" that he made out of animal skins, it immediately made people think that the clothes on the boy were actually quite decent.

At least, it can be seen that it is clothes.

Unlike this pair of "leather boots", it has great potential.

Therefore, when the boy changed his clothes and was led out of the tent by Qi Yuan, everyone was shocked by the "trend" outfit on the little boy in an instant, and couldn't bear to see it.

But the boy himself didn't think there was anything wrong.

He felt that this was the best dress he had ever worn.

Especially the pair of "boots" on his feet were warm and comfortable, and they were countless times more comfortable than when he ran around barefoot on the cold ground.

Seeing the weird expressions on everyone's faces, Qi Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

However, he has been tempered for a long time, otherwise it is impossible to tout himself as a generation of sages.

So he took the boy to dinner without changing his expression.

In the morning, he cooked a large pot of fragrant meat porridge with his own hands. He also dug some fresh and tender wild vegetables by the side of the road. After cleaning them, he mixed them with sesame oil and minced green onion, ginger and garlic.

After the boy drank more than ten pieces of pancakes and the fifth bowl of meat porridge, everyone saw that he was still licking the bottom of the bowl with unsatisfactory expressions, and they all were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

Qi Yuan looked at his slightly swollen belly, wondering where did the child eat all the food?

"Don't you feel your stomach is full?"

Qi Yuan asked.

The boy shook his head.

Although he still didn't speak, he finally gave a response.

Zhao Wu on the side was amazed: "No wonder he has such great strength, his appetite is really amazing."

Qi Yuan also nodded secretly, thinking that this kind of gifted person should have something different from ordinary people. Being able to eat means that the body digests quickly and has a strong absorption ability.

The reason why he didn't dare to let him eat more yesterday was not that Qi Yuan was reluctant to give up the little food, but because he was worried that he would eat too much all of a sudden and make his stomach full. Now that he knows that this child is born with a big appetite, he is no longer restricted. How much to eat.

"Do you have a name?"

After eating, Qi Yuan asked.

The boy shook his head.

His parents died early, and no one gave him a name.

"Well, that's it."

Qi Yuan thought for a while, and said: "In this case, you can take my surname. I will give you a name, and I will call it...Qi Yi. From now on, you will call me Master and be my first formal disciple. ,OK."

The boy nodded without refusing.

I couldn't help but feel a little joy in my calm heart, I also have a name, and I am no longer the little bastard in others' mouths.

In this way, Qi Yuan tricked a good seedling who was born with supernatural powers to become his disciple.

Since Qi Yi has such a talent, it would be a pity if he only learns to cook from him.

Therefore, Qi Yuan planned to ask Zhao Wu and others to teach him some martial arts.

Qi Yi was still young, and he had never done the basics before, so when Zhao Wu and the others had nothing to do, they taught him some superficial boxing skills and practiced first.

Along the way, Qi Yuan taught him how to read and cook, and after setting up camp every day, he practiced martial arts with Zhao Wu and the others. Every day was very fulfilling.

Qi Yi is very smart, and he can learn many things at once, which made Zhao Wu and others who taught him martial arts very impressed.

However, the fastest thing he learned was cooking.

Maybe it was the time when he was hungry in the past that made him too unforgettable, and he didn't want to live the days of being hungry every day, so he could quickly learn every kind of food that Qi Yuan taught him to cook.

The only pity is that he never spoke.

Qi Yuan thought that he might be dumb, that's why he couldn't speak. Although he felt it was a pity, there was nothing he could do.

After Qi Yi was able to silently write the words Qi Yuan gave him, Qi Yuan passed on to him the simple set of exercises he practiced.

Although the exercises with a few hundred words are simple, getting started is the key.

It not only involves the meridians of the whole body, but also the induction of the aura of heaven and earth.

If you can't sense the aura of heaven and earth, you can't draw the aura into your body, and you won't be able to refine mana.

If you don't know the direction of the meridians of the whole body, you can't use mana to use spells.

So this is a very labor-intensive stage, and it needs his careful teaching bit by bit.

However, Qi Yi is indeed a genius. After learning all these things, within a few days, he was able to draw the aura of heaven and earth into his body, and Qi Yuan praised him fiercely.

After being praised by Qi Yuan, Qi Yi rarely showed a happy smile on his face.

It seemed that his long-closed heart was finally slowly opened, and it was no longer a cold and dead place.

This made Qi Yuan very gratified, autistic children are not easy to take care of, it took him a lot of effort to make Qi Yi accept himself in his heart.

Time always flies by inadvertently, and in a blink of an eye, they walked for more than a month.

The weather is getting warmer, the roads are lined with green grass, and the trees in the distant mountains and forests are even more luxuriant.

Of course, the roars of all kinds of beasts from time to time are also indispensable, and there are even some miserable wailings of some unknown beasts before they die, which makes people's hair stand on end.

In the wild, after all, there are dangers everywhere, especially in some uninhabited places, where all kinds of ferocious beasts roam freely. If you are unlucky and encounter some monsters who have awakened their wisdom, then run as far as you can.

"Sir, in front of you is the boundary of Skull Mountain. It is said that there was once a battlefield in ancient times, where countless corpses were buried. Few people dare to pass there. Otherwise, let's make a detour to the south first, and then go to Chentangguan. "

Zhao Wu told Qi Yuan the news he had inquired about.

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How far does it take to go south?"

"About five or six hundred miles around?"

"Well, it's a bit far to go around. Have you ever inquired about some people who have passed under the Skull Mountain recently, and have they ever encountered danger?"

Zhao Wu thought for a while, "It's just that I heard that several business travels passed by there recently, and they didn't encounter any danger."

"In this case, we don't have to take a detour, just go straight."

Qi Yuan didn't want to take a detour. What was he coming here for? Wasn't it just to find a chance to meet Empress Shiji? Only when he met Empress Shiji could he persuade her to gain some benefits for himself.

Now that Skull Mountain is right in front of him, how could he willingly give up this opportunity?
A group of people got on their horses and escorted Qi Yuan's carriage to move on.

At noon, they came to the foot of Skull Mountain.

This mountain is called Skull Mountain only because there are many bones buried in the mountain. It is not made of skeletons, but people think that the mountain is quite dark, so few people dare to walk from here.

Winding along the road at the foot of the mountain, Qi Yuan frowned and thought.

When he got here, he realized that he had taken it for granted. The mountain was hundreds of miles away, and he had no idea where the Bone Cave was, nor how to find Shiji.

With so many peaks, you can't find them one by one, right?
Just when he was frowning, there was a sudden loud noise, and then he heard Zhao Wu and others shouting in anger outside.
