Zongwu: Aspiring to be the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 4: The Little Master of Martial Arts

Later, everyone knew that Zhou Ming disliked Li Xunhuan, so they stopped discussing the matter.

Two horses of different blood pulled the mechanical carriage forward at high speed, as if they were tireless.

At noon, Lu Xiaofeng looked up and said, "It's time to eat. Did you bring any dry food?"

"Dry food?"

"yes……"

Lu Xiaofeng turned his head to look inside the car, wondering: "You...didn't you bring anything?"

"Uh..." Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, "Indeed not."

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly had a deeper understanding of the word "speechless".

"You really are a young master!"

Lu Xiaofeng took out some dry food from his bag and said, "Never mind, I'll share mine first. However, I didn't know you were coming together, so I only prepared some for myself. Now that there are six of us to share... Don't blame me if you don't have enough to eat."

The dry food he brought included pancakes and dried meat, all of which were very dry and hard and needed to be washed down with water before he could swallow them.

Zhou Ming took the pancake and the dried meat and said with a smile, "Okay, since we're away from home, let's just keep it simple for lunch."

The four maids also received dry food, but they were not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, they served Zhou Ming first.

Xia Feng took out a bowl, placed the dried meat in the bowl, poured water into it, placed his palms against the bowl, and his Qi burst out, and a burning sensation suddenly emerged.

In a short while, the water in the bowl began to boil and cooked the dried meat.

Chunhua took out two tight cloth bags, grabbed some fine particles from each of them, put them into a bowl, and the fragrance burst out immediately.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh, "Snowflake salt, MSG, the little seasoning you added is more expensive than all the dry food I prepared."

Zhou Ming laughed and said, "My own property is worthless!"

"Depend on!"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to say anything. As he smelled the aroma of the meat, his envy and jealousy were evident in his words.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming also gave him some food.

The broth processed in this way is naturally far inferior to the freshly made one, but it is much better than dry food.

But the appetite of six people is completely incomparable to that of one person. In this meal, they directly ate up all the food that Lu Xiaofeng had originally prepared for two days.

The leftovers are enough for dinner.

Fortunately, the alien-blooded horses were very fast, and they were walking on the official road, so they soon came across a town. Lu Xiaofeng immediately replenished his dry food and didn't pay much attention.

But precisely because the speed of the alien-blood horse exceeded Lu Xiaofeng's imagination, he was too optimistic about the distance, so he did not stop in the town.

I thought I could reach the next town before dark, but I didn't.

"Sorry, I miscalculated the distance."

"It's okay. Spending the night in the wilderness is an unprecedented experience for me."

Zhou Ming smiled.

The four maids pulled the mechanism under the carriage, and the entire carriage was pulled out. Then they pulled it left and right, and in a moment they formed a shed with the carriage.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him in surprise, and after a moment he burst out laughing: "It's worthy of being Zhu Ting's work!"

"You had your dry food at noon, so you can eat what I prepared for you tonight."

Zhou Ming opened a hidden space under the carriage, reached out and grabbed something inside. When he came out, he had something in his hand - a chicken?

"Oh my god! So you didn't prepare any dry food, but brought some fresh meat!"

but……

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his eyes and felt that he was not mistaken.

"Why is your chicken black?"

"Not only is the skin black, but actually the feathers are black, and even the bones are black."

Zhou Mingdao said, "This is the legendary spiritual bird—the black-bone chicken! It's a top-quality ingredient. You... haven't you seen it before?"

"How is that possible?! I just... I just didn't expect you to bring a black-bone chicken. But, how can one chicken of yours be enough for the six of us? Besides, won't it get smelly if it's been left out for so long?"

Zhou Ming laughed, then took out six chickens and a large bag of rice from the hidden space under the carriage.

"Don't worry, there's definitely enough to eat! And these chickens were killed this morning. It's winter now, so they won't stink!"

How can there not be enough food?
Even if there is not enough storage space under the carriage, Zhou Ming himself has a portable space.

He was born with this space, and it grew naturally over time. Now it has become a huge spherical space with a diameter of 45 meters.

Naturally, many items are stored there, including large amounts of food and water.

There is no need to worry about quality and freshness.

As mentioned earlier, when the conditions of Zhou Ming's portable space are triggered, an ability will be randomly awakened or upgraded.

Although he didn't know what the triggering conditions were, he had indeed triggered the conditions three times in the twenty years since he traveled to this world, and had an upgraded second-level ability and a first-level ability.

The secondary ability is:

Perfect Qi: A golden gas is generated in the space every twelve hours. After taking it, the body and soul will be in the most perfect state in the life, which lasts for one hour.

Secondary derivative: Decomposition: The perfect energy can be decomposed into ten or one hundred parts. Taking one tenth of it can only restore the body to the most perfect state in one's life, which lasts for one hour.

Taking 1% of it can instantly heal all injuries and remove all toxins, but it is ineffective against hidden injuries, chronic poisons, and diseases.

This ability can be said to be extremely abnormal.

But this is not what I want to talk about now. Zhou Ming accidentally discovered that the perfect energy stored in his personal space would also have a certain impact on objects within a radius of fifty centimeters.

Items within this range will maintain their current quality and will not change over time.

Therefore, Zhou Ming stored dozens of perfect auras, so that all items in his personal space could maintain their original state and would not deteriorate.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about deterioration.

By the way, let me explain the other first-level ability.

Mark: Imprints another, allowing the user to view the surrounding area through the mark. The view is centered on the mark, and the observed area is the same size as the space. The user can also communicate with the mark's holder, but this is achieved through the appearance of text within the user's line of sight.

It is equivalent to SMS with unlimited distance and camera function.

Back to Lu Xiaofeng. After a burst of joy, he realized that the current environment seemed inadequate for properly handling these precious ingredients. "Um... roast chicken for dinner?"

"No, roasting it is too wasteful. Let's make soup or porridge. But we need some dry firewood..."

"Okay, I'll go pick some up..."

Lu Xiaofeng used his Qinggong skills and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xia Feng and Qiu Yue also went in all directions. Chun Hua dealt with the black-bone chickens, while Dong Xue took out a slender sword. With one slash, the sword energy emerged and sank into the ground.

When Lu Xiaofeng came back, six simple stoves had been dug out on the spot, casseroles were placed on them, and the black-bone chickens had been prepared.

Xia Feng snapped his fingers, and a flash of red light shot into the dry firewood, instantly lighting it and sending it into the stove.

Then pour water and stew.

Soon, the fragrance filled the air.

When Lu Xiaofeng smelled it, he felt his mouth water. He suppressed his excitement with great difficulty. When the food was finished, he was given a pot. When he opened it, he saw clear soup in the pot and a black chicken.

"Is this... whole chicken soup?"

"I told you, this is soup and porridge."

"Porridge?"

"Yes..." Zhou Ming used a knife to cut open the chicken's body, and a bright light suddenly appeared in the darkness. He saw that the chicken's belly was full of rice grains, shining with oil, and looked crystal clear, like a jade carving.

"Out in the wilderness, we can only eat simple food."

The aroma hits your nose.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't have time to complain. He followed Zhou Ming's example and opened the chicken's belly. Then he took a spoon, scooped a spoonful, and put it into his mouth.

Suddenly it was like a flash of lightning.

Lu Xiaofeng closed his eyes, but a tear fell from the corner of his eye.

This rice is so delicious!!!
What kind of life did I live before?

Not to mention being out, even at home, I have never eaten anything so delicious!

Depend on!
Why isn’t my father the Prime Minister of the current dynasty?

A godfather is fine too!
People who practice martial arts have big appetites. Lu Xiaofeng ate the whole chicken and all the rice in one meal.

He is such a talkative person, but he didn't say a word during the meal. He was just eating.

You can try hard to eat, but not to stay.

No matter how skilled the boss is, it is impossible for him to use a mechanism to build a mansion out of thin air in this wilderness.

It would be great if the carriage could be transformed into a shed to shelter from wind and rain.

However, when you are in the wild, you still need to be vigilant.

Lu Xiaofeng took the initiative to keep watch, and only after midnight did someone else take over.

The next morning, the tempting fragrance had already penetrated my nostrils even in my sleep.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly stood up and asked, "It smells great. What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "It's early in the morning, let's just have something simple."

"so?"

"so……"

Rainbow porridge!
Jade Phoenix Dumplings!

Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasure Soul-Calming Buns!

Looking at the bright and colorful breakfast, Lu Xiaofeng swallowed his saliva wildly: "Is this what you call a simple meal?"

We set off again, and it was noon again in the blink of an eye.

Glancing at the sun in the sky, Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's already noon. What are we going to eat for lunch?"

Zhou Mingdao said, "We need to hurry up at noon. Do you have any dry food?"

"Uh... no more! I finished it yesterday!"

"No more? Didn't you pass through the town yesterday? Didn't you replenish it?"

"Um... I forgot... Sorry, sorry."

"Well, it seems we'll have to do it ourselves for lunch. Um...let's have some stir-fry."

Then...

Shredded pork with red bell peppers and green peppers!

Golden egg fried rice!
Great twice-cooked pork!
Giant Panda Magic Mapo Tofu!
night.

"Brother, do you see?"

"arrange!"

Baoshan Feilong Hot Pot!
Galaxy squid noodles!
A countryman has no equal!
Another day.

"I have been wandering for half my life, and have never met a wise master. If you don't abandon me, I am willing to be your adoptive father!"

"Hey! It's just some food, what are you doing, Brother Lu? Chunhua, Xiafeng, hurry up and serve my son!"

..........................................

Baoding, Xingyunzhuang.

Long Xiaoyun stood in front of the manor and saw a carriage coming from afar. He had seen the portrait of the person sitting in the carriage and naturally recognized the young man Lu.

"Hahaha, Young Master Lu is finally here!"

Long Xiaoyun went to meet him and said with a smile, "You must have had a hard time on the journey."

Lu Xiaofeng clasped his fists and said, "Master Long, to be honest, this journey has not been very hard for me..."

As he said this, he couldn't help but touch his stomach.

"...I even seem to have gained two kilograms..."
