My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1059 Memories

Drive away the flying insects. Zhou Xing was busy preparing the ingredients. He was skilled in knife skills and cut the fresh meat and vegetables into sizes suitable for barbecue, then strung them on bamboo sticks and handed them to Ling Xue.

The two of them have a tacit understanding. Ling Xue is responsible for baking, while Zhou Xing is responsible for preparing and serving customers. They don't talk much, but every eye contact is full of trust and support. Whenever a customer asks for a recommended dish, Zhou Xing always introduces it enthusiastically, and Ling Xue will smile and nod, as if to say, "Try it, you won't be disappointed."

An accident during the ascension not only caused Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect to fall to the mortal world, but also made them laughably transformed into a pheasant and a bamboo rat. This sudden change of identity challenged the dignity of the two cultivators, and also made them full of anxiety about the coming end of the world.

The apocalypse seems to herald the end of the world. The sky is covered with dark clouds, the sun can hardly penetrate, and the earth is filled with a dead silence. In the ruins of the city, under the broken walls, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, an unusual pair of partners, use their newly acquired small bodies to find hope for survival in this desolate place.

At the end of the world, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing had to face the cruelty of the food chain. A pheasant and a bamboo rat are weak in nature, and they must always be alert to the dangers around them. In order to survive, Ling Xue began to try to dig insects with her sharp claws, while Zhou Xing looked for bamboo shoots in the ruins, and occasionally he was lucky enough to come across other food scraps.

Using the wisdom of the immortal cultivators, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing built a simple shelter with dead leaves and broken bricks in a half-destroyed abandoned house. Although it was difficult to resist the invasion of large beasts, it could at least block the wind and rain and provide them with a temporary safe habitat.

After the transformation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing unexpectedly discovered that they seemed to have retained some of the abilities of immortal cultivators. Ling Xue was able to release weak healing magic to help herself and Zhou Xing heal minor injuries; while Zhou Xing was able to sense tiny changes in the surrounding environment, which was undoubtedly a great survival advantage in the end times.

During an exploration of the ruins, they encountered a group of ferocious mutant dogs. Just when the two were in a desperate situation, Zhou Xing keenly sensed the entrance to a sewer. With amazing tacit understanding and speed, they joined forces to escape into the sewer and escaped.

With each crisis, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing became more determined to survive. They found some dried seeds in the ruins. Ling Xue used her weak magic power to try to make the seeds germinate, while Zhou Xing was responsible for finding water. Under their careful care, tender green seedlings broke through the soil, bringing a glimmer of life to this apocalyptic land.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing knew that they could not live in the form of animals forever. They began to try various methods to find possible clues to restore their human form. In the ruins of the end of the world, they not only had to face the challenge of survival, but also to explore the hope of returning to the world of immortal cultivation. They believed that as long as they did not give up, one day they would be able to find a way to restore their human form and continue to ascend.

As the night deepened, the business in the barbecue restaurant became more and more prosperous. The air was filled with the aroma of smoke and barbecue, and customers sat or stood, enjoying the food and the lively atmosphere of the night market. Although Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were busy, they always had satisfied smiles on their faces, as if this kind of life was their truest happiness.

As the night market was about to end and customers gradually left, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing began to pack up their stalls. They cleaned the grills and stacked the tables and chairs, ready for the next day's work. During this process, they would exchange interesting stories and experiences of the day, and their smiles seemed particularly warm in the night.

Although this kind of life is ordinary, it is a precious experience for Ling Xue and Zhou Xing who are experiencing the tribulation. It makes them cherish each other's company and every happiness in the simple life.

In the 63rd level of the tribulation, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing transformed into a tabby cat and a golden retriever. They found themselves in a post-apocalyptic world surrounded by ruins and desolate scenes.

As a tabby cat, Senior Sister Ling Xue is agile and alert. She jumps between the ruins, looking for food and water. Her fur becomes mottled and unkempt, but her eyes remain firm. She uses her sharp claws to dig out food hidden in the ruins, while also being alert to the dangers around her.

Junior Brother Zhou Xing turned into a golden retriever. His strength and loyalty made him a capable assistant to Senior Sister Ling Xue. His golden hair stood out in the grayness of the end of the world. He used his strong body to protect Senior Sister Ling Xue, while also using his sense of smell to find a safe shelter.

In this apocalyptic world, they need to face various challenges and dangers. They need to avoid radiation areas and find clean food and water. They need to compete with other creatures for survival resources, and also face human pursuit and traps.

However, despite all the difficulties, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing did not give up. They supported each other and faced difficulties together. They overcame difficulties one after another with wisdom and courage, showing their tenacity and unity.

In this apocalyptic world, although Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing's life is difficult, they have not lost hope. They believe that as long as they persist, one day they will be able to overcome this difficulty and return to the world of cultivation.

In this parallel radio station, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are not only colleagues, but also partners fighting side by side. Their daily work life is full of challenges and fun, and every day they are creating their own unique stories.

Zhou Xingze held an ancient compass in his hand, the needle swaying in the intricate magnetic field, but his intuition was extremely sharp and he could capture subtle changes that ordinary people could hardly perceive.

Time seemed to stand still here, and every step seemed particularly heavy. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing took cautious steps. Along the way, they encountered various traps, some of which needed to be broken by sword energy, and some needed to use strategies to find a way out. The two cooperated tacitly, sometimes Ling Xue used softness to overcome hardness, and sometimes Zhou Xing used force to overcome cleverness, and they managed to find a chance to survive in the vast valley.

In the 58th tribulation level, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transformed into power repair workers. Their daily work life was full of challenges and busyness.

Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect accidentally touched the ban during the mysterious ascension process and fell to the human world. What's more shocking is that they turned into a pheasant and a bamboo rat respectively, in completely unfamiliar bodies, facing unprecedented challenges. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, who had just transformed, had not had time to adapt to this astonishing fact before they found that the world around them had changed beyond recognition. The sky was covered by gray dust, and the sun disappeared behind the thick dark clouds, as if it would never appear again. The surrounding buildings collapsed, and the traces of civilization were replaced by natural wildness, a desolate end-of-the-world scene.

Ling Xue, who turned into a pheasant, tried to adapt to flying in the air with her new body, while Zhou Xing, who turned into a bamboo rat, shuttled on the ground. The two began to survive in this apocalyptic ruin. They began to look for food, explore abandoned houses, and find shelter from the wind and rain.

In the difficult process of survival, Ling Xue discovered that she could control the wind around her, while Zhou Xing could sense the moisture and nutrients in the soil. These abilities became their magic weapon for survival in the apocalypse, not only helping them find food, but also warning of potential dangers.

Using their special powers, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing cleared a small piece of land from the ruins and built their own small home. Ling Xue used wind power to help Zhou Xing dig the soil, while Zhou Xing used the skills of bamboo rats to plant plants that were easy to grow in the land.

However, the hostile environment of the end of the world is not static. Natural disasters and attacks by mutant beasts have repeatedly threatened Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's small home. They must always stay vigilant and use their own abilities and wisdom to protect this oasis.

After experiencing countless life and death tests, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing became more tacit. They not only found a way to survive in the apocalypse, but also found a deep dependence on each other. In this desolate apocalypse, their friendship blossomed into a flower of hope.

By chance, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing discovered a forgotten oasis, where the ecosystem was unusually complete, like a miniature of the world before the end of the world. They decided to expand it into their new home, believing that they would be able to find a way to restore their original bodies in the future, return to the world of immortal cultivation, and complete their unfinished journey of ascension.

As soon as the morning light illuminated the earth, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing got up early and started their day's work. They put on their work clothes, put on their safety helmets, carried their tool bags, and set off for the construction site.

In this busy city, tall buildings stand in rows and wires are intertwined like a spider web. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's mission is to ensure that the city's power supply operates normally and provides convenience for people's lives. They shuttle between narrow alleys and crowded streets, sometimes climbing tall poles and sometimes crawling into narrow cable trenches.

At work, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing always cooperate with each other and help each other. When encountering sudden failures, they will rush to the scene quickly, analyze the problem, and then quickly take measures to repair it. In the hot summer, they sweat profusely under the scorching sun; in the cold winter nights, they brave the severe cold and their hands are frozen red. Despite the difficult working environment, they never complain and always stick to their posts.

  In the 61st level of the Tribulation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing are transformed into a couple who run a barbecue restaurant in the Northeast Night Market. Their days are filled with the atmosphere of fireworks and the trivialities of life, but also with warmth and fun. The following is a description of the scenes they may experience in this level:

In the sixty-third tribulation level, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing transformed into a tabby cat and a golden retriever. Facing the predicament of the end of the world, they showed tremendous courage and wisdom.

The advent of the apocalypse has turned the world into a dark place. The once prosperous city is now only ruins and silence. The streets are full of abandoned vehicles and broken buildings, and the air is filled with dust and decay. The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the sun cannot penetrate this thick darkness. The whole world seems to have fallen into an eternal night.

In this environment, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing, as a tabby cat and a golden retriever, face challenges such as food shortage, water pollution, and extreme climate. They must find food in the ruins while carefully avoiding those mutated creatures and lurking dangers. Their daily life has become more difficult, but also more challenging.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines through the clouds, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing will begin their adventure. They will shuttle through the ruins, looking for any remaining food. Sometimes, they will find some expired but still edible food in some abandoned supermarkets or warehouses; sometimes, they will catch some small animals in the wild to fill their stomachs.

In the afternoon, when the sun is high in the sky, they will find a relatively safe place to rest and replenish their energy. At this time, they will comb each other's hair and clean their bodies, which is also a kind of intimate communication between them.

At night, they would find a secluded place to hide from the nocturnal mutants. In the process, they would share their experiences during the day and discuss plans for the next day. Although life was difficult, their friendship was deepened in such an environment.

As night falls and the lights come on, the night markets in Northeast China begin to get lively. Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's barbecue restaurant is located on a busy street. Although the store is small, it is doing a booming business because of their hard work. In front of the store hangs a sign written in red paint, which reads "Lao Zhou's Barbecue". The handwriting is mottled but reveals a sense of intimacy.

Ling Xue stood in front of the stall. She was wearing a simple apron, her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and she was wearing a pair of clean gloves. She was skillfully flipping the skewers on the grill. The firelight shone on her face, casting a series of jumping shadows. Her eyes sparkled with love for life and confidence in her craft.

Zhou Xingze was busy in the store, preparing ingredients, cutting meat, and skewering. Every move he made was focused and meticulous. His technique was skillful, and every cut was just right, ensuring the freshness and taste of the food. He would look up at Ling Xue from time to time, and the two smiled at each other, their mutual understanding and love were beyond words.

Customers were attracted by the aroma of barbecue and stopped to order food. Ling Xue greeted every customer warmly, asked about their preferences in Mandarin with a slight northeastern accent, and recommended the store's specialties. Zhou Xing also introduced the sources of ingredients and cooking tips to customers in his busy schedule, allowing customers to feel their respect for food and their insistence on quality.

As the night deepened and the flow of people gradually thinned out, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing began to pack up the stall and clean the tools. Their movements slowed down, but they were still in good order. During this process, they would discuss the day's business situation, which dishes were popular, and which ones needed improvement. Occasionally, they would talk about their lives before ascension, recalling the bits and pieces of their practice. Those memories were like the smoky smell of barbecue, lingering in their hearts forever.

Finally, when everything was packed up, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing would sit together on a small stool at the door of the store, enjoying a quiet time that belonged to them. They would look at the starry sky and talk about their dreams for the future.
