Laba

Twelfth lunar month.

Cold wind, light snow, deep night.

Two figures supported each other, using the faint moonlight and the deep snow on the ground, walking with difficulty on the mountain, one step deep, one step shallow, making a "crunching" sound.

"Senior Brother, I really can't walk anymore!" One figure collapsed into the deep snow, breathing heavily.

She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, sweat had soaked her hair, making it stick to her face, yet it still gave her a beauty like a lotus emerging from water. Coupled with the purple robe she wore and the short saber hanging at her waist, she was quite delicate.

"Junior Sister Su, hold on! If we don't go, that Enlightenment Mirror Demonic Monk will catch up!" The other person was a tall, handsome young man named Li Yiyan. He wore a gray-black robe, carried luggage on his back, and leaned on a long saber in his hand. He was also exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and said.

"No! No! I've been walking for a day and a night! I really..." Su Yeye, the one called Junior Sister Su, took a breath and swallowed before continuing, "...can't walk anymore!"

The two of them were only at the Seeing Truth cultivation level, having just cultivated their True Qi, and were returning to their hometown in Jin Yang City from Ying Yin City. Unexpectedly, they stayed overnight at a temple and were taken notice of by a demonic monk from the Seeing Colors Sect.

In the cold twelfth lunar month, the demonic monk, bored in the temple, saw that both of them were handsome men and beautiful women, and immediately became lustful. He proposed to take them in as disciples, cherish them well, and comprehend the supreme profound methods of the Seeing Colors Sect!

The two of them came from the great sect "Saber Dragon Gate" in Ying Yin City and were also from a prominent family in Jin Yang City. How could they accept?

They immediately started fighting when their words didn't align.

Although the demonic monk was at the Seeing Truth cultivation level, his cultivation was profound, and he was also naturally gifted with divine strength. With a Precept Blade and a Zen Staff, he beat the two of them into a hasty retreat.

"But if that demonic monk catches up, we will lose our innocence to him! Junior Sister, do you really want to suffer this humiliation?" Li Yiyan said to Su Yeye.

"I... I really can't walk. I can only..." Su Yeye said with tears. She had walked for a day and a night, and eaten two mouthfuls of snow. At this moment, she was truly tired and hungry, and her physical strength was almost exhausted.

"But Senior Brother, I don't want to suffer this humiliation!" Li Yiyan gritted his teeth and said, "Come, Junior Sister Su. I'll carry you!"

That evil bald donkey from the Seeing Colors Sect was bisexual, just like the women from the Heavenly Maiden Sect, and both were notorious.

"Senior Brother..." Su Yeye was so moved she didn't know what to say.

Senior Brother could clearly abandon her, but he still wanted to carry her.

Li Yiyan hung the package from his back on his chest, carried Su Yeye on his back, and stumbled towards the distant light, one step deep, one step shallow.

"Junior Sister Ye! If the demonic monk catches up! I will kill you first, and then commit suicide! Saber Dragon Gate will not suffer this humiliation!"

"...Okay, I'll listen to Senior Brother!"

He didn't know what the place with the light was, nor did he know if there was anyone there who could save them.

But he was unwilling to sit and wait for death, accepting fate. Even doing something was better than doing nothing.

Not far behind them on the mountaintop, a tall monk wearing a gray-brown monk's robe and carrying a Precept Blade on his back was staring at them. That monk was precisely Enlightenment Mirror. His face was full of lewdness, and he followed them quite patiently. He was just waiting for the two of them to exhaust their physical strength. At that time, they would be completely weak, and wouldn't they be at his mercy to cherish as he pleased?

Benefactors! What is seen as form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. What is the difference between the appearance of a man and the appearance of a woman!

Let this poor monk impart the Dharma to the two benefactors and welcome the two benefactors to enjoy ultimate bliss!

Thinking of this, Enlightenment Mirror softly chanted "Namo Colorless Bliss Buddha" and slowly followed the two people's pace.

Carrying a person on his back indeed put a lot of pressure on Li Yiyan. But for the sake of his chrysanthemum, Li Yiyan still unleashed his ultimate potential, allowing him to walk towards the light on the mountain little by little.

Ah, people, if you don't push yourself, you'll never know how strong you are!

The closer they got to the light, the more they smelled the fragrance of porridge, as well as the fragrance of other foods like red dates, peanuts, and lotus seeds.

"Senior Brother, what fragrant Laba porridge!" Su Yeye, on Li Yiyan's back, said.

So, today was Laba!

"Senior Brother, put me down! Let's walk over quickly together and ask for a bowl of Laba porridge to drink!" Su Yeye rested for a while, and thinking of the taste of Laba porridge, she felt energized again.

"Okay! I still have silver! I hope that demonic monk doesn't chase too closely, so we can eat our fill, rest a bit, and then fight him fiercely!" Li Yiyan said.

The light in the mountains was naturally the small temple of Shi Feizhe and Chong Jiuyuan.

At this time, Shi Feizhe was sitting in the main hall in the middle, holding a bowl of Laba porridge and bragging, telling the story of Ode to Gallantry to the old man Chong Jiuyuan.

"The Laba porridge on Gallant Island is brewed with Heartbreak Poison Grass combined with one hundred and eight kinds of herbs. Therefore, it is not only non-toxic, but can also increase cultivation. My cousin Shi Potian saw that no one was drinking it, so he..."

"Nonsense!" The old man Chong Jiuyuan, sitting opposite him, said. He was still the same as before, almost unchanged from when Shi Feizhe saw him two years ago.

He didn't look like he was going to die at all.

"Poison is poison, even if it's brewed with other herbs, it won't turn into a tonic! This Cousin's Adventure is not as good as the previous Three Idiots Wreaking Havoc on the Jianghu." The old man took a sip of Laba porridge and said:

"Although the Northern Darkness Divine Art is made up, it has a sense of naive cuteness from someone who doesn't understand martial arts."

Having spent a long time with Shi Feizhe, the old man also learned the word "naive cuteness". In his words, True Qi is transformed from "Blood Qi Spirit". Everyone's True Qi carries the imprint of their personal will, so how can one casually absorb others'?

Unless that person's own cultivation method is incorrect!

Aren't you afraid of becoming an idiot by casually absorbing other people's True Qi? Aren't you afraid of being raped by other people's True Qi?

"Old man, these are just words for bragging and chatting, don't take it seriously! You won't be like some people who, if something doesn't go their way, will write hundreds of words to argue, right!" Shi Feizhe said while drinking the Laba porridge.

Hmm... Last year's Laba porridge was burnt, this year's is not bad.

"Then it still has to be listenable and conform to common sense!" The old man said with a cold laugh, "You can't just think the world is this way, and it is this way! That's too ridiculous."

"Then are you still listening to Cousin's Adventure?" Shi Feizhe was truly speechless at this argumentative old man.

In more than two years, this old man really had to refute everything.

What Chong Jiuyuan, might as well call him Chong Jiugan!

"Listen! Of course, I'll listen!" the old man said.

At his age, being able to peacefully plant flowers and vegetables and listen to Shi Feizhe's nonsensical ramblings was already quite satisfying.

Although many parts didn't align with his common sense, listening to it as a roadside story was quite interesting.

"My cousin looked at the green Laba porridge, drank a bowl, smacked his lips, and thought it tasted good. It was sweet and delicious, with a hint of grass, much better than eating big fish and meat. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he drank another bowl."

"Bowl after bowl, he didn't know how many he drank, only feeling his belly full and round. Then he said, it would be great if there were some pickles." Shi Feizhe made up stuff based on the plot he remembered.

"Who eats pickles with Laba porridge! You're talking nonsense again!" the old man said.

"The world is so big, how do you know you can't have pickles with Laba porridge! You probably don't know that in some places, they eat sweet tofu pudding!"

"If you don't eat sweet tofu pudding, how do you eat it?"

"I..." Shi Feizhe was about to say something else when he heard a "clang, clang, clang" at the door.

Shi Feizhe: Cousin's Adventure was told by my cousin himself.
