The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

"This is natural." While returning to Kujo Sura, Xia Yu himself was surprised by his experiences in recent days.

Although he said that his relationship with Zhongli and Wendy was pretty good, it basically just stayed at the level of friends after getting to know each other well.But General Raiden is a little different... Looking back now, when he first arrived at the thunderstorm area on the Inazuma border, General Raiden should have noticed his arrival, so he opened a corridor in the thunderstorm area on the sea for himself. Wait for someone to pass.

Next, he directly dispatched Kujo Sora and dozens of elite warriors to take him to Inazuma Castle. After arranging the accommodation environment, he even began to seriously teach himself how to use the sword.From the perspective of a conventional god, it would be a bit too enthusiastic.

But everything is really helping me. If there is anything I can do to help, I should try my best to take care of it.But... the other party is a god of a country, so where does he need help from? Xia Yu, who was thinking hard, finally came up with only one answer.

Wasn't General Raiden watching himself cooking at noon?Although on the surface she was talking about realizing the skillful and natural feeling when wielding a knife, what if she also wanted to learn to make some dishes?

Maybe... I can try to add some explanations during the cooking process?

————————————————————————

After investigating the current status of the three people who had lost the Eyes of God, Ying's mood was extremely complicated after the eldest lady of the club, Princess Bailu, asked her to witness.Unexpectedly, people with the Eye of God would have such terrible sequelae after the Eye of God was forcibly taken away.

The people who have been waiting for a long time in Konta Village, the rare samurai who believes in benevolence and righteousness in the shogunate, and the current head of the kendo school Meike Shisui. Comparing the descriptions of people who are familiar with them with their current situation, these It's as if the person has changed.

All their memories related to their wish to obtain the Eyes of God will be erased!

Yes, it is not simply a situation similar to amnesia. The feeling of forcibly erasing a certain memory is like forcibly digging countless deep holes on a smooth road.

Although these three people who have lost the Eye of God still remember some things related to the past in bits and pieces, when talking about the things they once insisted on the most, one of the three people had confusion in his eyes, and one of them questioned the past. Some of them even had doubts about themselves, and one person even came to the edge of madness because of the loss of faith!

Fortunately, with his intervention and help, the three of them settled down briefly.

So far, he has come into contact with two of Inazuma's three practices. Judging from what happened on the outlying islands, the assessment of the practice is basically rotten to the core.

As for She Fengxing who allowed himself to see all this, although the only person he has actually contacted and learned about so far is Thomas, whether it is Thomas or Princess Egret who chatted for a few words across the screen, what they have left for him is The impressions are pretty good.

So, do I want to participate in the action planned by Kamisato Ayaka to abolish the Eye Hunting Order?

Inazuma's God of Thunder himself had met once in the Chensong Pot. Judging from the majestic temperament of a warrior displayed by him, this God of Thunder should not be the kind of person who could tolerate the presence of hidden people around him. The god of filthy people.

In this case, if you can chat with the other party for a few words, you should be able to grasp new clues.Thinking of this, a helpless look appeared on Ying's face.

I have already received a warning from the other party: If I dare to get involved in Inazuma and be discovered by the other party, I will be greeted by the most direct hostility from the gods.

Do I have to manage these things about Dao Wife?No...but if I was allowed to avoid talking about issues related to the Eye Hunting Order, I would feel inexplicably aggrieved.Maybe Xia Yu can help him get some relevant information, but it's not like Xia Yu can evacuate Dao's wife at any time through the teleportation anchor point. If he lets him get involved in danger, he will feel very sorry.

So... If you want to know more relevant news more intuitively, the best way at this stage is to cooperate with the social practice of one of Inazuma's three missions... The blond girl still thought about it in her heart. The pros and cons of doing this.

If he cooperates with the society, he will be guaranteed at least in terms of hiding places and other aspects.Just like the wooden leak tea room, if you can hide there, you will have a place where you can stay safely even in Inazuma Castle.

Secondly, the society is one of the three official organizations of Inazuma. They should also know some inside stories that they don't know.

Well...just do it.

Chapter 188: General Raiden learning to cook, Arataki’s gambling battle

After finishing the afternoon sword training, General Thunder followed Xia Yu into the cave in the pot again and carefully observed Xia Yu who was chopping vegetables. The originally columnar green bamboo shoots turned into uniform small ones under Xia Yu's steady swing of the kitchen knife. strip.

This smooth movement is exactly the same as the feeling of confidence when using the naginata. Sure enough, no matter what kind of practice, apart from the influence of personal perception on the upper limit, the emphasis is that practice makes perfect.General Raiden, who lamented that his creator could never learn the cooking skills, became slightly interested in cooking for a moment.

Cooking doesn't seem to be as difficult as imagined... Why can't Ying learn it?

Could it be that there are some unknown key points in it?General Thunder, who was still some distance away from the console, took a few steps closer again.The close distance caught Xia Yu's attention.

What's going on?Could it be that there is something wrong with the ingredients?But this is in the Cave in the Pot, and General Thunder and Lightning also said that she would not have too much interference in matters in the pot.Or is there something new going on?

"Excuse me, General, is there any problem?" Xia Yu stopped his work and turned his head. When he noticed the eager look in General Thunder's eyes, Xia Yu was extremely surprised.In order to confirm his thoughts, Xia Yu asked: "Could it be that...General, do you want to learn cooking?"

"It is indeed the intention."

What? ! !No way... He quickly raised his hand and patted his cheek to confirm whether he was dreaming. Looking at General Thunder and Lightning again, Xia Yu found that the other person's eyes were still quite serious.

The gods of a country actually have free time to learn how to cook food from me!No matter how you think about this, Xia Yu feels incredible.

Compared with Wendy, who was fishing all the time except for important events, and Zhongli after retirement, General Leiden was still managing Dao Wife. Did she really have that much time to learn from herself?In order to confirm this situation, Xia Yu asked General Thunder: "General, it should take a lot of time to deal with Inazuma's affairs every day, right? I wonder if you have enough time to learn cooking?"

"The other thing is...can you tell me that you have ever done relevant exercises?"

"No, in fact, apart from listening to the reports of Sanfengxing every day and making important decisions, most of my time is devoted to the practice of swordsmanship. Therefore, as long as I can spare some time to practice cooking, I think it should be no problem."

"As for the basics of cooking..." General Raiden fell silent when he mentioned this topic.

If he thinks back carefully, among the knowledge he inherited from Shadow Balzebul, the knowledge related to food and cooking is as completely barren as the thunderstorm area shrouded in the resentment of the thunderbirds of Qinglai Island.

Although he could see the experience of cooking as a shadow of a cloud in the sky, the final result... General Leiden only vaguely noticed the scene of a ball of black coal being destroyed by Wu Xiang's knife.

In this case...it should be considered absolutely impossible.General Raiden shook his head decisively and replied: "Not at all."

In this way, he had to teach from the basic aspects. Xia Yu, who nodded to express his understanding, drew up his own cooking plan in his mind.Just as Xia Yu was about to speak, the Thunderbolt General who came to his side and picked up another green bamboo shoot that had its skin scraped off caught Xia Yu's attention.

"Although I have zero cooking experience, after these two days of observation, I have roughly understood some things related to chopping." As if to show Xia Yu his current state, General Thunder took the green bamboo shoots in his hand. Throwing it into the sky, he then took off the naginata from his back and held it in his hand with a serious look on his face as if he was facing an enemy.

"Just let it change into the required shape. I can still do this after practicing for hundreds of years!" Pushing the blade of the naginata towards the falling green bamboo shoot, the moment the tip of the blade pierced the skin of the green bamboo shoot, Pressing down with his back hand, he used the Raiden Shogun who raised the handle to lightly shake the entire naginata. The green bamboo shoots that were falling were evenly divided into two halves and flew towards the sky again.

The swords and flowers in his hands were flying like a thunder and lightning general performing an elegant dance, causing Xia Yu's jaw to fall to the ground in shock.

This... this is too exaggerated! ?The green bamboo shoot shreds of uniform thickness fell from the sky to the chopping board, and the pork tenderloin placed on the chopping board was also cut into shreds of uniform thickness by the naginata chopping method that was too fast to be caught with the naked eye. If Just looking at the finished product, Xia Yu would never believe that this was the knife skills expected of a person who was new to cooking.

However, no chef would use a naginata on the battlefield to cut and match with such wide openness... Is this the by-passing effect that a swordsmanship that has reached its peak can achieve?Xia Yu, who accepted this reality, nodded towards General Thunder.

"In that case...if the General wants to learn how to make food, I will definitely teach him with all my strength."

————————————————————————

Half an hour later, there were two small portions of fish-flavored shredded pork on the table. One of them was bright red in oil, with a thin layer of light brown gravy hanging evenly on the shredded pork, shredded fungus, and shredded green bamboo shoots. The slightly pungent sour aroma makes people salivate quickly just by smelling it.

As for the other portion, although the thickness of the three raw materials is very uniform, only a very small amount of the sauce condensed on the bottom of the plate hangs on the raw materials. Excessive cooking has made the green bamboo shoots look a little soft, and the meat The lines of the silk can also be clearly seen. It is obvious that the pork itself has become dry and woody due to the loss of moisture.

In terms of appearance alone, this one can only be regarded as mediocre, even slightly unsuccessful.

The huge gap could be discerned with just the naked eye. General Raiden, who was trying to cook for the first time, felt that powerlessness that Tunekage told him despite being very powerful but unable to grasp anything.

Making food is indeed quite difficult... Even with Xia Yu guiding me throughout the process, I would always make a lot of mistakes if I couldn't grasp the timing, just like misreading my opponent's actions in a gladiatorial battle. This can lead to serious injury or even death. The result of errors in judgment during cooking is a sharp decline in the quality of the food.

"Considering this is your first time trying to make fish-flavored shredded pork, General, you have done a great job."

Xia Yu, who opened his mouth to comfort him, made General Thunder turn his head. Seeing the look of complete disbelief in his eyes, Xia Yu continued: "There are three biggest difficulties with fish-flavored shredded pork. One is the thickness of each ingredient. Evenly, the second is the blending of sweet, sour, spicy and salty flavors, and the last is the control of heat and timing when thickening.”

"Just like the first time I learned Tai Sword, General, if you can at least make it ordinary under guidance for the first time, it can be considered a success."

This is a quick stir-fry. The control of timing is no better than other forms of cooking. An extra second of work may cause changes in the texture and taste of the entire dish, such as the tenderness of the ingredients, the heat of the vinegar, etc. The effect of volatilization on the taste of food.Therefore, Xia Yu can say with absolute certainty that for the first time under his guidance, General Leiden was able to serve this dish to the table, which was a success in itself.

Is that so... Although he could feel both affirmation and comfort from Xia Yu's words, General Thunder still chose to believe Xia Yu's statement.At least he was making a 'complete dish' instead of serving a plate of 'black coal' that could only be extinguished by Wu Xiang's knife like Shadow Balzebul.

He picked up a pair of chopsticks and put the food he made into his mouth. The not-so-good taste made General Raiden frown slightly.Although the taste of the food was much worse than that made by Xia Yu beside him, the feeling of successfully making food for the first time still made General Thunder excited.

Just learn from Xia Yu how to fight with the sword, and then just practice more and learn and observe the cooking methods from Xia Yu, and you will definitely be able to improve your cooking skills.

General Thunder and Lightning's expression remained calm, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the changes in his mood, which made Xia Yu laugh involuntarily.This kind of expression of eagerness to try after cooking for the first time is really familiar to me. After all, I have also walked through it step by step.

Judging from the current state of General Raiden, it might be a good time to ask her rice wife about her current situation.But...what topic should I start with?After thinking for a while, Xia Yu decided to start with the Eye Hunting Order, which has caused a lot of commotion in recent years.

"General, can I ask you a question?" Xia Yu spoke, causing General Thunder to recover from his excitement. "Is there a direct connection between the confiscation of the God's Eyes by the Eye Hunting Order and the eternity of Inazuma that you want to maintain, General?"

"That's right." The past and inherited memories he heard from Shadow Balzebul made General Thunderbolt nodded with certainty.

"The Eye of God is the embodiment of the world's wishes. Hunting for the Eye of God can eliminate the obsessions of the world. The wishes and emotions of the world, no matter whether they are noble or despicable, will ultimately bring only a moment of joy, leaving nothing behind. What comes next is eternal suffering and pain. I have seen too many such things in the past."

"Hunting for the God's Eye will not endanger the lives of those who have the God's Eye taken away. They will only lose the pursuit of their original obsession after their delusion is cut off. According to the information given by the current leader of the Kujo clan who is followed by Tianling , so far the people who have been hunted for the Eye of God have not had too bad reactions."

Indeed, I had heard such information from Kujo Sora earlier, that is, information related to the samurai named Kurosawa.

However, Xia Yu also discovered some clues from General Raiden's words: All the information obtained by General Raiden seemed to be narrated by Nodai or the elder of the family. Judging from her situation today, General Raiden seems to rarely go out. Castle tower.

"Have you ever been out, General?" After asking, Xia Yu looked at General Thunder and shook his head decisively.

"In recent hundreds of years, I have rarely gone out except for major festivals. After all, this body still needs to be further cultivated, so that I can use this noble and special body to protect thousands of Daozhu's people and the eternal paradise."

This... Hearing this, Xia Yu finally understood why Dao's wife always made him feel weird.

As far as the form of governing Daozu is concerned, the current Daozu is actually very similar to Liyue, which was once managed by Zhongli. However, Daozu's thunder and lightning generals are not like Zhongli who will issue new orders every year based on the situation in Liyue. It is the unchanging eternity that we stubbornly pursue.

In addition, she is not like Zhongli who hides in the city and secretly observes the situation in Liyue. Every move of the seven stars in Liyue is actually under Zhongli's control.The source of General Raiden's intelligence was basically locked in the information reported to her by San Fengxing. If someone was trying to gain benefit from it, Dao's wife would inevitably be manipulated by someone with evil intentions.

That's the problem. As far as the Eye Hunting Order is concerned, Tianling's execution is indeed quite adequate.Due to the war, it is reasonable for rogues to appear in the suburbs after a large number of soldiers are mobilized.Coupled with the almost fanatical admiration shown by Kujo Sanra for General Raiden, Tianling's implementation of this part has not exposed any problems in his eyes.

I have too little contact with the rest of the determination and social practice, so I can't make any conclusions.If he can't find any evidence that can effectively prove that Sanfengxing is a treacherous person, Xia Yu is sure that General Leiden still trusts the members of Sanfengxing more than he has been in contact with for a few days and the Sanfengxing family that has served General Leiden for thousands of years. .

As for taking General Raiden out for a walk to understand Ina's wife's situation, this idea was directly rejected by him.Given Inazuma's current situation, General Raiden's trip is bound to attract the great attention of the Sanzongxing collective.As long as some "people" are found to carry out drills according to the pre-prepared plan, General Leiden can only see the scenes that San Fengxing wants her to see.

This approach may be feasible, but it must not be done now. The only way to take action is when the members of the Sanfengxing are hindered by certain events. Only in this way can General Raiden see the most real side of Inazuma.

Things have suddenly become complicated... I wonder what's going on on the other side now?After finishing the meal, Xia Yu returned to his bedroom in the castle tower and decided to watch the night view of Inazuma Castle after thinking about it for a while.

Perhaps because he had proved his strength to Kujo Sora, after ensuring that he would only visit Inazuma Castle, Xia Yu was able to come to the night market of Inazuma Castle alone.However, just a few steps out of the castle tower and when he came to what seemed to be a clothing store, a familiar male voice caught Xia Yu's attention.

"Hey! The brother over there who competed with me at noon!" Xia Yu's unique and extremely straightforward voice made Xia Yu understand who it was. He turned his head and looked, and sure enough, it was the red ghost Arataki who was competing with him for arm wrestling at noon. Yidou appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

"Do you still remember what I told you at noon that we should fight another day?" Yidou came to Xia Yu with an expression full of eagerness to try. "I have already thought of an event for the competition, and this is it!" As he said this, Arataki raised his right hand high behind his back.

This is a large beetle with a beautiful purple sheen all over its body. Its huge front spade and body larger than a palm make this beetle look powerful.

"I have already asked the children in the neighborhood what the most popular competition event is now, and it is this, the insect battle between ghost pocket insects!" Xia Yu was introduced to the battle and looked extremely excited.

This is the most powerful ghost pocket insect that I got from a child after spending a lot of effort to help people in exchange for Mora. As long as I don't compete with this abnormally strong human, then there should be no problem!It was rare for Arataki to feel proud of his good idea.

"Ghost bug..." Carefully observing the big beetle held by Arataki Ichito, Xia Yu's familiar competition method immediately reminded Xia Yu of those people who loved to fight bugs in the original world.Indeed, fighting insects is also an interesting activity, but the problem is that I currently do not have this kind of ghost bug in my hands for competition...

"It's okay, brother Xia Yu, I have also thought that you may not have a ghost bug now. As long as you catch one now, or take out a small pet that is about the same size as the ghost bug, this game will be special. It’s no problem, I approve of everything!”

Chapter 189 A Chou: What opponent did you choose for me in a fight!!

Insect fighting competition?That's no problem, but if today's competition were to use freshly caught ghost pocket insects, Xia Yu was sure that he would definitely lose.

Although he didn't know how to distinguish the grade of this beetle called a ghost beetle, the ghost beetle held in Arataki's hand just looked full of vitality, with long horns on its head and a strong His physique is considered to be at the elite level among ghosts.

However, this is only under the condition that the competition is limited to Ji Kabuto... "Are you sure that as long as they are of similar physiques, anything can be used in the competition?" A wicked smile, a slightly permeable feeling made Arataki Yidou feel guilty inexplicably.

Could it be said that he also has a ghost?impossible...

First of all, he is definitely not a native of Inazuma.Moreover, when he came to Inazuma Castle, he was so huge that Kujo Sora and more than a dozen elite warriors from Ten Ling were guarding him. With that formation, even the old guys from Ten Ling were not treated like this.

How could such a person go hunting for ghosts and bugs?It’s impossible even to think about!No matter how much Yidou thought about, he could not connect Xia Yu with the kid who caught the ghost bug. Thinking of this, Yidou suddenly felt enlightened.

I see!He must be trying to deceive himself, so he is pretending to be strong and pretending to be sure of himself!This is the most powerful ghost bug I bought from the children of Daozuma City. What else is there to be afraid of?Feeling that everything was straightened out, Ichito began to laugh loudly.

"Hahahahahahaha! Of course, anyone with the same size as this ghost can be used in the competition!" Yidou patted his heart and looked at Xia Yu with confidence in his eyes, and then continued to pursue the victory. To: "If I win, you will bear the cost of everyone's supper tonight at the Arataki faction. Do you dare to accept my challenge?"

"Huh? Are there any betting conditions?" Xia Yu was surprised when the price of a fight suddenly started to increase. The other party looked as confident as if he had won the game, just like the winner who celebrated with champagne after winning the game.Xia Yu couldn't understand where Yidou's confidence came from.

"That's of course. Since it's a competition, it has to be a little more exciting." Yidou answered to Xia Yu, but was a little confused by Xia Yu's words. "Otherwise, do you think that I don't lose anything when I lose in a bet with those kids? Every time I finally have some money to buy some snacks, I basically lose all of them to them."

These...simple words made Xia Yu's understanding of Arataki Yidou even more complete.

Arataki Ichito may be just a hot-blooded gangster who likes to help others, and he is also a little bit arrogant. He doesn't seem very smart when talking, but this does not negate his role as a ghost. Straightforward.Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many children willing to gamble with him. From this point of view alone, Arataki Yito actually belongs to the trustworthy category in terms of credibility.

There is also the Arataki sect he mentioned. Although the Arataki sect sounds very noble, it is actually only a small organization of five or six people. Everyone does odd jobs in Inazuma Castle to make ends meet. , and did not commit any acts that were harmful to nature.Kujo Sora had told him this information on his way back to the castle tower at noon.

"And if I lose..." After talking about this, Yidu's expression became much more complicated. After a moment of silence, Yidu, who seemed to have finally made up his mind, suddenly exerted his strength with his hands, and his eyes became determined. A lot.

"You should be very familiar with Kujo Sora and the people who follow Tian Ling, right? If you win, my God's Eye... you can help me take it to her and give it to General Raiden."

what! ? ?

Xia Yu was surprised by the completely unbalanced bets using the Eye of God and midnight snacks.Looking directly at the way Arataki Ito looked at him, Xia Yu could only detect the fierce intensity in the other person's eyes that even a bull could not pull back.Obviously, Arataki Yito was serious about this.

"I can feel your determination to fight, but... why?" The high stakes put Xia Yu in an awkward position.When he found that the other party seemed unwilling to explain the reason for doing so, Xia Yu sighed lightly, and then added: "I feel that this should be a losing battle for you. Although I don't have a ghost, I have this."

Having said this, Xia Yu pointed to the golden ball of thunder that had been lying on his shoulder, stretched out his hand in front of the little guy and let it jump into the palm of his hand, and then handed the ball of thunder to Arataki Yitou. Xia Yu noticed that the other party Dumbfounded.

"This... the Reslime on your shoulder is not a doll!?"

"Absolutely. This thunder slime has been with me for several months. Although it is small, the thunder element in its body has become much purer recently. If it is just an ordinary small animal or insect, , I think there should be no chance of winning against it.”

"And...Mr. Yidou, look at the ghost pocket insect on your hand." Xia Yu had a helpless expression when he mentioned these words. "Do you still remember what you did just now?"

What did I do just now?What's wrong?Following Xia Yu's words and looking at his palm, Arataki Yidou, who had his head buried, was immediately dumbfounded.

"My powerful general!!!" A huge wailing sound came from Arataki Yidou's mouth.

It's over, it's all over!When I made up my mind just now, I actually forgot that I was still holding the ghost pocket insect in my hand. As a result, with such force in my hand, how could the little ghost pocket insect be able to withstand my own strength?The hiccupped Ghost Douchong has completely stopped making any movement.

He could accept losing openly in the competition, but now he accidentally crushed him to death. This was really too frustrating. Feeling embarrassed, Yidou scratched the top of his head, and then slightly He looked at Xia Yu who was staring at him with some guilt. "Um...can I change to another player temporarily?" Yi Dou's eyes turned extremely erratic as he asked Xia Yu.

It turned out that there was some back-up preparation. After nodding in agreement, Xia Yu looked at Yi Dou and visibly relaxed.Chi Gui whistled and regained his energy again, and then shouted loudly: "Come out, A Chou, the decision is yours!"

"Moo!"

As Yi Dou finished speaking, a calf about half a meter in size, carrying what seemed to be wooden house panels, sprinted in front of Yi Dou.Although this tan calf is not that big, judging from its smooth and smooth skin and full of energy, this calf, which is called A Chou by a bunch of people, seems to be living a better life. Fighting is even better...

"Next, let me introduce to you. This is A Chou, an outside member of the Arataki sect. He is also a good brother that everyone in the Arataki sect is familiar with. Although A Chou is small in size, his strength is not small, and he is also quite strong. Smart. Besides, what A Chou is best at is finding its way." Yi Dou became excited when he introduced the calf to Xia Yu.
