Chapter 1404 – Cultivating From Me

The bronze door was just a crack, but it was too big. The two of them walked in side by side and didn’t feel crowded. There was still a dazzling golden light shining from inside the door, which pierced An Zheng’s eyes so hard that he could not open them.

Because the light was too intense, An Zheng did not see anything during the time he walked in. It was just that he felt that the surroundings were extremely warm, just like when he was lazily lying on a bench in the afternoon, basking in the sun. The same cannot open eyes, the same comfortable comfort.

It was an incomparably strong sense of familiarity, as if An Zheng had returned home.

A person like An Zheng had long gotten used to wandering the Four Seas. As such, in An Zheng’s opinion, home was not a fixed place. As long as his family and friends were around, anywhere was his home. However, the moment he entered, a thought suddenly appeared in An Zheng’s mind … Home.

Finally, the golden light wasn’t as dazzling as before. An Zheng slowly opened his eyes and started to get used to the light. He imagined what he would see when he entered the bronze door. Every time he imagined it, it would make his heart surge.

But behind these two bronze doors, An Zheng did not see the magnificent scene that he imagined.

This was a very quiet peach forest, and there was a small stone path winding through it. It was very quiet, just when the peach blossoms were in bloom. A few exquisite and beautiful butterflies fluttered in front of An Zheng’s face for a while before flying off into the distance. An Zheng took in a deep breath.

Every peach tree was beautiful, every flower was beautiful.

There weren’t any multicolored auspicious birds here, nor were there any huge demonic beasts. A few magpies stood on a peach tree not far away, chirping away, as if they were talking to An Zheng … Welcome back.

In the peach forest, the grass on the ground was only an inch tall. It looked especially cute and fresh with its soft and green fur. It waefreshing feeling. He thought that even if he built a thatched cottage here and stayed here, he would never feel bored or lonely.

Then, An Zheng, who was walking along a stone path, saw a thatched cottage.

The straw covering the roof of the hut was so clean that it seemed to be moving at the speed of light. There was a fence outside the hut. It was made of peach branches. The door was open and the chimney on top of the thatched cottage was still smoking.

An Zheng was excited, he did not know which life he would be in in this hut. There waoe and sickle by the door. There was a stone mill in the small courtyard, and some crushed grains could still be seen underneath it.

“Yes …” Is anyone there? ”

An Zheng asked, only then did he realize how hoarse his voice was.

“It’s so late.”

Someone in the room spoke, and the door opened on its own.

“Come in.”

An Zheng acknowledged his as he tidied up his clothes before entering the door. Although he was sure that he was the only person he was going to meet, he told himself that he had to be serious. It’s not just the past, it’s the future. Every single one of his lives seemed to be greater than this one. At the very least, he had done many great things.

Regardless of whether it was Da Chi, or the Fang Zheng who looked like his cultivation was far from his current level.

An Zheng entered the hut and went into the living room. The living room’s furnishings were very simple, there were only a few chairs and a table. On the table, there were some very simple dried fruits. They were nothing more than seeds, peanuts and the like. The room was lit with a strange fragrance. It was neither strong nor stimulating, making people feel better.

“I’m cooking. Come over and talk.”

The voice came from another room. An Zheng responded and subconsciously tidied up his clothes again. He didn’t know why he was so nervous. After going through hundreds of battles, going through all kinds of hardships, and going through all kinds of dangers, he felt like a child being called into the office for the first time by a teacher.

An Zheng pushed open the door and walked in, and immediately smelled the fragrance of ordinary food. Yes, it was extremely normal, but it was this very normal that made his stomach grow hungry.

“Sit down and wait. It’ll be ready soon.”

There was a man dressed in cloth sitting next to the stove. He grabbed a handful of peach branches with one hand and threw them into the stove while fanning himself witalm-leaf fan with the other. His clothes were old, but clean. The grey cloth had been washed to the point that it had turned white. The sleeves were rolled up, revealing a pair of beautiful hands. Clean, slender, clean.

He turned around and glanced at An Zheng, and An Zheng’s heart unconsciously started beating faster.

It was the face of a very handsome young man, which was different from An Zheng’s appearance. He looked the same manly and strong, the same clean and beautiful. He had beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and when he spoke, he revealed neat white teeth.

He really did look very young, but he had a head full of white hair.

It did not have a single strand of black hair, and was as white as snow, causing An Zheng to feel an inexplicable pain in his heart.

“Disappointed?”

he asked.

An Zheng shook his head. He was not disappointed, not at all.

“I’m not a cultivator.”

The young man stood up, lifted the lid of the pot, and the heat from the pot gushed out in an instant, making the room seem like a fairyland. There was nothing particularly exquisite inside. It was jusot of steamed buns, and every single one of them was very white and round.

There was also a stew in the other pot. The aroma of the stew mixed with the smell of the steamed buns that had just been steamed. It instantly made one’s stomach rumbling with hunger.

“My name is Pu Nong.”

The young man smiled warmly.

“It could be said that you were the first one.”

He picked up the steamed buns one by one from the pot and placed them on a palm-grass braid. Then, he dragged it and placed it on the table beside him.

“I know you have a lot of questions, a lot of questions. “Don’t worry, our time is not so short. We’ll talk to you while we eat.”

Pu Nong carried the stew over and then washed two pairs of chopsticks before placing them on the opposite side of the table. An Zheng sat down opposite of him, still feeling a little uneasy. Although the white-haired young man sitting across from him was not a cultivator and felt no powerful aura, he was extremely nervous. For some reason, that seemingly ordinary youth who did not have the slightest bit of presence, was actually likeerless expert, causing An Zheng to feel extremely unnatural.

“Eat.”

Pu Nong picked up a steamed bun and took a bite. As he chewed, he said: “I’ll tell you about me first … Simply put, I am your first life. “Originally, I should live in a very distant era, but because we messed up time in a certain lifetime, I randomly appeared here.”

He laughed, somewhat helplessly.

“Eat.”

“No,” he said.

An Zheng picked up the chopsticks and the steamed buns, and at this moment, they suddenly became natural. It was as if the person sitting across from him was not his first life, but his eldest brother. As he ate, he listened to his elder brother talk. He talked about family matters, but he didn’t waste any time at all. Of course, this was just a feeling. What Pu Nong had told him was not about family matters.

“What is the legend of the future generations about? About the appearance of cultivation?”

Pu Nong asked.

An Zheng answered, “Rumor has it that the Dao Sect has opened uath of cultivation.”

“Dao Sect?” “What is that …”

Pu Nong frowned slightly: “It’s one person?”

“It can also berson, or it can be said to be a … At the sect. “According to the rumors, the Daofathers began their practice of cultivation and founded their own Dao Sect. Thus, their practice grew even more glorious.”

Pu Nong replied, “It’s fake.” (f)ir(e).nᴇt

An Zheng: “Mhm?”

Pu Nong said as he ate, “There is always a first for everything. For the first time, people found out that the seeds of wheat could be crushed into flour. For the first time, people found out that flowers could be used to brew wine. Many, many, many, many first times, all in those wild days. I don’t know who the so-called Daofathers are, nor do I know what the Dao Sect is. That’s why I’m telling you, cultivation does not come from the Dao Sect. ”

He pointed outside, “Do you see the rope hanging from the fence? There was a knot on it. In the beginning, people had no words, so they could not remember many things that had been going on for a long time. Thus, they tied knots on the rope as marks. And the person who created this method is even older than I am. All living things in this world were born to be useful. This was useful, but it meant that it was useful to people. People are used to seeing themselves as the center of the world, all things to live around people, for people, these things are divided into two, useful and useless. The process of people becoming stronger is this kind of process of discovering whether everything is useful to them or not. ”

“The cattail grass can be weaved into clothes, a grill, a cushion, and this is useful. In the process of this discovery, the greatest value would be extracted from the useful items, allowing the person’s progress to be even faster. A single thing to eat was useful. But finding out that eating is more important than eating is not as simple as it seems. ”

“I did something.”

Pu Nong laughed with a little pride.

“Initially, I did not like to stay in one place and liked to travel around the world. I’ve been around a lot, eating and dressing, and I’ve had to find out for myself. I knew what to eat and what not to eat before many people. And what happens to my body when I eat something, for the first time, is confirmed in my body. Initially, this kind of verification was not done on purpose, it was just for the sake of eating their fill. However, when I realized that some things can actually cause my body to change in a way that is somewhat bad, I started to deliberately try it out. ”

An Zheng’s expression changed: Try it?

“Yes, this is the beginning of the first stage of cultivation.”

Pu Nong laughed, the pride on his face became even more obvious, but he did not reveal it at all. There was a kind of radiance on his body, the radiance of an ordinary person, but it was enough to make every cultivator feel ashamed.

“The beginning of cultivation isn’t just any Daofather or Dao Sect.”

Pu Nong lifted his finger and pointed at himself, then at An Zheng.

“It’s me. It could also be you.”
