Chapter 20 The Daily Life of Immortal Cultivators
At noon, Aunt Gu called Jiang Ning to eat, but Jiang Ning refused. The mother and daughter were not living well, and he could eat, so he was worried that he would make others poor.
Jiang Ning looked at the meat he bought in the morning. There were three kilograms of beef and five kilograms of pork ribs in total.
Jiang Ning activated her spiritual power and clicked a few times with her fingertips. A mysterious white disk like a star was reflected on the table.
He tapped out a burst of spiritual power, and the disk suddenly rotated slightly, and a trace of cold air surged out of it.
This is the most basic formation that can keep an area cold. Jiang Ning throws the beef on it. In this way, it will not deteriorate and the meat will taste better. The effect is better than the refrigerator.
The spiritual power he casually shot was enough to keep the mini-formation functioning day and night.
Then Jiang Ning began to cook the ribs. With a move of his hand, the water in the bucket was drawn out from the void and rinsed with the ribs.
While cooking, he disliked the insufficient firepower of the induction cooker, so he once again used his spiritual power to light a flame. The flame circulated around the pot from top to bottom, searing every part of the ribs evenly.
After the ribs were fried and grilled, and the aroma was overflowing, Jiang Ning sprinkled the spices prepared in advance on the ribs, just like the barbecue restaurants in later generations.
It's just a pity that the pig is a mortal pig, not a spiritual beast, so it is not very helpful to his cultivation. When his cultivation level improves, Jiang Ning will have to think of other ways.
Throwing a few fruits in the air, the sword energy flashed, like a game of peeling fruit, cutting it into pieces accurately, the core of the fruit was sifted out, and the flesh of the fruit slowly fell on the plate as if it was lifted by auspicious clouds.
Jiang Ning waved again, and a fist-sized water droplet gathered in the air, and then the water flow transformed into a flat plate shape.
Jiang Ning fired a flame, and the terrifying high temperature passed by, instantly boiling the water. The boiling water formed a stream of water and moistened it into the cup.
The fly in the ointment is that it is not purified water. His current method cannot purify water, and it is not as good as industrial water purifiers.
After a simple plate arrangement, Jiang Ning's lunch was done.
Just as they were about to eat, Xue Yuantong came over with a bowl. When he saw the large plate of ribs, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
Xue Yuantong came here to deliver steamed buns. Yesterday, her mother steamed steamed steamed buns and asked her to deliver them to Jiang Ning. She could have delivered them a long time ago, but she had been browsing the post for a while and delayed coming here until now.
She planned to see what Jiang Ning had for lunch. If he didn't eat, she would drag him to her home. After all, she had eaten his snacks in the morning, right?
For this reason, while she was still cooking, she deliberately used some caution and heated up three more buns, so that even if Jiang Ning came, she wouldn't have enough to eat.
As a result, Jiang Ning saw that the food was quite good. Xue Yuantong thought about his lunch and looked at Jiang Ning's rich ribs, and his mouth watered.
"Huh? Momo, I was just about to eat this." Jiang Ning was surprised.
He was not perfunctory. Yuzhou is located in the center of the motherland, and residents eat both rice and noodles. Jiang Ning followed the local eating habits, but he preferred steamed buns to rice.
There are steamed buns sold outside, but most of them contain additives, and the taste is not as good as home-steamed steamed buns. Now that he saw the steamed buns sent by Xue Yuantong, he felt very happy.
"Thank you Aunt Gu for me." Jiang Ning picked up a bowl of pork ribs and brought it to Xue Yuantong:
"Don't refuse. This is called human nature."
"Come on!" Xue Yuantong did not refuse. Recently, she felt that her relationship with Jiang Ning was getting better and better, which made her feel at ease. Facing such a wise brother, she must give him a hand in study in the future and protect him. 211 University.
So thinking like this, Xue Yuantong felt at ease.
…
At night, Jiang Ning left with her bag on her back.
He ran along the dam at an extremely fast speed. He kept running for half an hour and arrived at a remote area. There were no street lights nearby, but Jiang Ning's five senses were so sensitive. Under the moonlight, what he saw was extremely clear.
The transformer box made a "buzzing" noise, which showed how high the voltage inside it was. Ordinary people would lie down and die on the spot if they touched it.
Jiang Ning untied his backpack, took out two cartons of milk, and finished it in one go.
I feel a little melancholy. In the past, all I needed to do physical training was to swallow two pills, but now I have to drink milk to replenish my body.
Jiang Ning's consciousness was completely released, and he had an unobstructed view within a radius of 20 meters. His keen ears could faintly detect abnormalities. There was something wrong with a tributary of the river below.
He walked towards the water flow. This river was a branch, about ten meters wide, and vertical to the Huishui River. It was not connected to the Huishui River because it was blocked by a cement dam.
This small river is responsible for irrigating the surrounding farmland, and its importance is self-evident. According to Jiang Ning's consciousness, on the edge of the river, under 30 centimeters of water, a water pipe continues to discharge water.
He mobilized his spiritual power, transformed into a big hand, grabbed it into the water, wrapped it in a ball of water and fell to the farmland next to it. Suddenly, an unpleasant smell of chemical wastewater came out.
"Discharge wastewater secretly!" Jiang Ning said to himself.
He raised his head and looked across hundreds of meters of farmland to the village in the distance.
In recent years, Yuzhou City has caught companies that secretly discharge wastewater almost every year. Small businesses like this that secretly discharge wastewater are everywhere.
Nothing but profit.
But since Jiang Ning was caught today, he must take care of this matter.
Jiang Ning cast a spell, and his entire figure slowly disappeared.
This is the "Qi Hiding Technique", which can hide the body shape and has the same effect as invisibility.
But this is just a little trick. Jiang Ning has also mastered the secret technique of escaping into the void, and with the magic weapon of concealing Qi, even the consciousness of Yuanying Dzogchen cannot detect him.
It's just that it can't be used now.
Jiang Ning used his consciousness to identify the water pipe. After more than 20 steps away from the river bank, the sewage pipe was only covered by a thin layer of soil.
Jiang Ning was glad that the sewage pipe was not buried deep, otherwise with his spiritual consciousness, he would really be helpless.
His consciousness locked onto the sewage pipe, and then he approached the village along the direction of the pipe.
The village is in ruins. As you enter the village and walk forward, you will see abandoned houses everywhere. The village seems to be a deserted village in a horror movie.
If Xue Yuantong was brought to this place now, he would probably faint from fear.
Jiang Ning knew the reason. Yuzhou's industry was far less developed than cities in coastal areas. The young and middle-aged people in the village went to work elsewhere, and their families either built houses beside the highway or bought houses in Yuzhou City.
After all, two people working in a coastal city can save tens of thousands a year. Some people who have left their hometowns are richer than the working-class people in Yuzhou City. Nowadays, housing prices are not expensive. After working for a few years, they can live in the city. Buy a house in the area.
In the end, most of the people moved away from the village, leaving only the old man staying here alone. After the old man died, the village naturally declined, and after a few decades, it may no longer exist.
The village in front of me is quite deserted.
Jiang Ning passed through most of the village before he saw two families in the west of the village, both of which were occupied by elderly people.
After walking for a while, Jiang Ning stopped in the northeast of the village. In front of him was a high fenced courtyard with machine noise coming from inside.
