49: Teaching Da Huang to cultivate
When Wei Xun returned to Black Tiger Mountain, the Little Ones who had returned early were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.
"How was it? Those Toad Skin Dogs you brought back, are they good enough?" Wei Xun asked as soon as he saw Horn and the others.
"Yes!" Horn nodded, "Fox Elder said that although those hyenas look disgusting, after skinning them, they can barely be eaten!"
"That's good!" Receiving Horn's affirmation, Wei Xun finally relaxed and then asked, "How many days' worth is it?"
"Two days!" Horn nodded in response, "Fox Elder said to hand them over again in two days! Otherwise, if too much meat piles up, it will rot before it can be eaten."
"Since that's the case!" Wei Xun said to the Little Ones gathered around, "I'll give you two days off. We'll gather here early on the third day, and then we'll go hunting again."
Hearing Wei Xun's words, the Little Ones didn't say much and then left under the leadership of their respective captains.
"Big Brother, what about us?" Da Huang remained in place, asking with a puzzled expression.
"We should also go back and rest first!"
Saying this, Wei Xun immediately started walking up the mountain. After returning to his cave, he lay down and fell asleep.
Xiong Er and Da Huang guarded near the cave entrance. After this hunting trip, Xiong Er was also a bit tired and leaned against a rock, dozing off.
"Brother Xiong, since there's nothing to do right now, I'm going to wander around the Forest!" Da Huang said to Xiong Er at this moment, "Instructor should not wake up for a while!"
Xiong Er heard him but didn't ask, just waved his hand and said, "Go on, go on!"
After Da Huang left, Xiong Er's drowsiness also swept over him, and he soon leaned against the rock and fell into a deep sleep.
This sleep directly lasted from the afternoon until the latter half of the night on the second day for Wei Xun.
After opening his eyes, Wei Xun walked out of the cave and realized that the Forest outside had become completely dark.
He turned his head to look at Xiong Er, who was still snoring beside him, and then scanned the surroundings, not knowing where Da Huang had run off to.
However, Wei Xun didn't care much about these things. He took a deep breath of air, feeling that now was a good time to Cultivate.
So Wei Xun walked to a rock in the Forest, jumped onto it, and sat cross-legged, then activated the Demon Cultivation Mind Technique to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, circulating it throughout his body.
However, what Wei Xun didn't notice was that behind a tree not far from the Forest, a dark figure was quietly watching Wei Xun, who was sitting in Cultivation.
It wasn't until Wei Xun finished a round of Cultivation and opened his eyes that the dark figure disappeared.
After Wei Xun finished a round of Cultivation, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, then stood up and stretched, feeling completely refreshed.
"Who?" At this moment, Wei Xun suddenly heard some movement in the Forest not far away, so he immediately turned to look.
"Instructor, don't be agitated, it's me!" At this moment, the Leper dog demon Da Huang suddenly walked out from the Forest nearby, holding several wild fruits he had picked from somewhere.
"You woke up so early?" Wei Xun glanced at the sky. It was still early morning, and it would probably be about an hour until dawn.
"Instructor, you also know I'm a Leper dog demon in human form!" Da Huang said with a slight smile, "I usually sleep a lot, but I'm very energetic at night and can't sleep. So I just wander around the Forest and pick some fruits to eat."
After Da Huang finished speaking, he reached out and gave Wei Xun the largest fruit.
Looking at the wild fruit in Da Huang's hand, Wei Xun waved his hand and refused, "Forget it, you eat it yourself. My teeth aren't good!"
"Alright!" Rejected by Wei Xun, Da Huang could only take the fruit back and then stood there, a bit bewildered.
"You don't have to stand here blankly. These few days are your holiday too, you can go anywhere you want." Wei Xun was about to begin his second round of Cultivation while the Spiritual Qi was purest in the early morning, but seeing that Da Huang hadn't left, he had no choice but to speak.
"Instructor!" But Da Huang lowered his head and whispered, "I see Instructor Cultivating every day, so you must have your own Cultivation method. I wonder if you could teach Little One a trick or two?"
Hearing Da Huang's suggestion, Wei Xun was slightly stunned.
This Da Huang had indeed been following him for about a month, but during these days, he hadn't paid much attention to Da Huang.
His thoughts were only on his own Cultivation, and on Si Niang and Xiong Er.
He had indeed not taken this Little One, who had followed him later, seriously, which led to him feeling that his presence was very low, sometimes even forgetting that such a Da Huang existed.
He had taught the Demon Cultivation Mind Technique to Si Niang and Xiong Er, but he had taught nothing to Da Huang. Seeing his wronged expression at this moment made Wei Xun feel a little unbearable.
"Since that's the case!" Wei Xun sighed, "Then I'll teach you the most basic Qi circulation method!"
After Wei Xun finished speaking, he had Da Huang sit cross-legged on the ground like himself, then briefly summarized the principles of Cultivation for Da Huang, and then began to impart the introductory method of Cultivation.
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Da Huang's eyes, and he then very seriously tried the method Wei Xun had described.
However, Da Huang's talent and Comprehension Ability didn't seem to be very good, so Da Huang hadn't grasped any clues until dawn.
Seeing Da Huang's disappointed expression, Wei Xun could only comfort him, "It's okay, Cultivation isn't that easy. You just need to remember the method and try more when you have time. As long as you grasp the introductory method, the rest will be much simpler."
"Thank you, Instructor!" Da Huang immediately cupped his fists and thanked Wei Xun after hearing this.
"Alright, you go rest first. We'll go down the mountain together in a bit." Wei Xun saw that it was dawn, so he started walking back, preparing to find Xiong Er.
At this moment, Xiong Er was sitting on a rock at the cave entrance, yawning, his eyes blurry with sleep.
Upon seeing Wei Xun, Xiong Er immediately perked up, "Big Brother, what are we going to do today?"
"Staying in the Forest for too long isn't comfortable!" Wei Xun said, "Come down the mountain with me for a stroll, and we can also sort out today's food."
The food the Little Ones had brought back earlier was for the Instructors and generals. Although they didn't have to hand over food these days, they still needed to sort out their own food.
So Wei Xun took Xiong Er and Da Huang down Black Tiger Mountain and headed all the way towards Bi Shui Lake. The glowing stones at the bottom of the lake had piqued Wei Xun's interest.
However, because of a misunderstanding before, the Red Carp had been somewhat hostile towards him, so he hadn't had time to check it out then.
Now that he had dealt with the Leper dog demon, it was considered helping him out, so the situation should be better this time.
They followed the previous route for most of the morning. Along the way, Xiong Er also took the opportunity to catch a Deer, and they had a hearty meal.
Since they hadn't finished the Deer, Wei Xun also cut off the strongest hind leg of the Deer to take as a gift for the Red Carp, hoping it might improve their relationship.
