Chapter 1492 Spirit Silkworm

Killing chickens with a butcher's knife, Jin Maohou couldn't help with the trivial matter of killing chickens. He waited for the little boy to kill more than a dozen chickens, and then went to carry a bucket. A bucket of hot spring water is used to scald the chicken feathers. The water that is used to scald the chicken feathers is poured into the big hole dug by the little one, and then the chicken feathers are plucked out.

Jinmaohou followed the little one as a personal guard. He had seen the little one deal with monsters, chickens and ducks. She would not waste anything available. She also had to collect chicken and duck feathers. He plucked them out. The chicken feathers are piled up separately, the feathers and fine feathers are separated, and the skins removed from the chicken feet and beaks are thrown into the big pit.

The Golden Retriever Lion’s operations were smooth and smooth. He Chaoyang was stunned again and had to admit that it was inevitable for the Golden Retriever Lion to be favored by his junior sister. That spiritual beast was smarter than humans. What kind of work could it be? They can do it all, how could the junior sister not prefer the big lion?

Jin Maohou didn’t know what the human monk was thinking. He worked quickly and plucked chicken feathers, instead of plucking them one by one like ordinary humans. He threw a dozen of them into the air and used his true energy to Manipulate, but pluck all the feathers in the blink of an eye.

He not only knows how to pluck chicken feathers, but also knows how to butcher chickens and ducks. He disembowels the chickens with a single stroke of his sharp claws, and then takes out the internal organs. The chicken livers, intestines, stomachs, etc. are classified into different categories. In the pots and buckets, some chickens were fat and were stored separately. They also cleaned the chickens and chopped off the chicken feet.

Jin Maohou, who is working as a chicken butcher, seems to be an old pro, and he is indeed an old pro. Who knows that the clay roast chicken cooked by Xiao Doian is delicious? Xiao Doian is often too busy and has no time. In order to eat the roasted chicken with clay, I often had to undertake a series of tasks such as catching pheasants, killing them, plucking their feathers and dissecting them. Finally, I asked the little ones to mix the seasonings, wrap them in mud and burn them in the fire.

After watching Jin Maohou’s hands-on ability, He Chaoyang only had a capital word for submission. If the noble and arrogant Jin Maohou could do that, he would not accept it!

He Chaoyang was completely convinced, and with an open mind and eagerness to learn, he conscientiously learned to do what only the handyman disciples of the Yuxia Sect did, and helped his junior sister.

Two people and one lion stayed at the hot springs and worked hard. They stayed in the cave at night and handled chickens and grouse during the day. They were busy for three days. On the fourth day, they switched to killing monster-level rabbits or skinning them. Rabbit skin or permed hair, then dissected.

Time passed day by day, and it was New Year’s Eve in a blink of an eye. On the day before New Year’s Eve, classmate Le set up a magic circle for the hot spring to protect the stone jar he placed next to the spring, and tidied it up. Take Jinmaohou and Senior Brother He back to Yuxia Sect.

Whether in the Yuheng Sect or the Yuqing Sect, the host is invited to eat spiritual food, and the Yuxia Sect is no exception. Le classmate returned to the Yuxia Sect and arranged a side hall of the main courtyard for him. , counted the spiritual food she had stored, and handed one to Head Shang. As for the arrangements between Head Shang and the Yuxia Sect bosses, she didn't care.

Mr. ShangI was overjoyed when I received a big gift, and distributed it to the inner and outer disciples. The outer disciples each received five catties, the inner disciples received ten catties, and the elders received more, twenty catties each.

In addition to spiritual food, there is also an incense made by a fairy.

At the New Year’s Eve dinner of that year, the disciples of the inner and outer sects of the Yuxia Sect gathered in the inner and outer sect’s kitchen hall and ate a feast of spiritual food amidst the incense. The meal was not finished, and those who were promoted were promoted. Even though the Nascent Soul cultivators were secretly prepared, they still almost lost sight of one thing.

After a wave of promotion turmoil, more than forty Jindan monks were added to the outer sect of Yuxia Sect, 70 golden elixir monks were added to the inner sect, and five disciples who had perfected the golden elixir in the later stage were promoted to the Yuan Dynasty. Ying, two disciples of Nascent Soul who have perfected themselves have advanced to the out-of-body stage, and another disciple who has been stuck in the out-of-body stage for two hundred years has successfully broken through the bottleneck and became a monk in the distraction stage.

A New Year’s Eve dinner excited all the inner and outer disciples of Yuxia Sect. Head Shang and the elders laughed heartily and secretly decided to count the inventory another day to see how much there was. Something that fairies love.

As the person involved, Le Xiao’s classmate has long since developed the ability to remain calm even when faced with the most difficult situations. Even when being watched like wolf-like eyes by Master Shang and others, he remained calm and remained calm. After dinner, I returned to my residence to "retreat" to gain insights. In fact, I slipped back to my own star core space to plow the land, plant trees, and sow seeds on Jixin Island and Yak Plain.

She stayed quietly in the inner courtyard of the Yuxia Sect for five days, and on the sixth day of the first lunar month, she ran away and took her most caring golden retriever lion to the hot springs in the volcanic area, where she started to soak The medicinal soup in the stone vat was taken out and put into the jar, and the hot spring was filled into the vat again to soak it for the second time.

After collecting the medicinal soup, Mr. Le went to the mountains in the volcanic area and ran around. He waited until the early morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month to collect snow and dew, which was the beginning of spring. After three days of busy work, he returned to the geothermal springs to continue slaughtering. Beasts and monsters.

The direct disciples and inner disciples of the Yuxia Sect first paid greetings to the elders of the sect at the beginning of the first month of the first year, and then walked around each other. They stopped visiting to communicate with each other after the fifteenth day of the month. He Chaoyang led his fellow disciples The disciple's junior brothers and forty inner disciples went to the volcano area to work as handymen for Little Fairy's junior sister.

In areas with volcanoes in the Yuxia Sect, the ice and snow melt early, in the middle of the first month, and there is almost no snow by the end of the month, and the plants sprout and start growing in mid-February.

When everything in the volcanic area revived, Le Xiaoxiao rushed into the mountains to scavenge for the resources he wanted. It was not until the beginning of May that he went to find Senior Brother He and admired the unique Ice Spirit Silkworms of the Yuxia Sect.

The little fairy was playing in the mountains. He Chaoyang took his brothers and took turns to divide the work. One group of people helped the little fairy deal with the beasts and monsters, and another group of people went to the mountains to collect. They rotated the work every half a month.

At the end of April, the snow in Yuxia Mountain has almost melted, and the snow in the volcanic area has almost melted.The plants are already lush and green, and the mulberry trees growing at the foot of the volcano or halfway up the mountain have lush new leaves.

Every year at the end of April or early May, when the north gets warmer, the unique Ice Spirit Silkworms in Yuxia Mountain may wake up from their slumber, or the eggs may begin to hatch into young silkworms and begin a year of growth. Expect.

The Ice Spirit Silkworm is extremely picky and can only survive near active volcanoes in volcanic areas. Moreover, it only eats mulberry leaves that grow in volcanic areas and will not taste any other mulberry leaves. It is also stubborn. So stubborn that he would rather die than surrender.

The Yuxia Sect did not interfere too much with the way the Ice Spirit Silkworms lived. They adopted a stocking method and built silkworm houses in the areas where the Ice Spirit Silkworms lived. Every autumn, the Spirit Silkworms were moved to the silkworm rooms to allow them to spit. Silk cocoon.

There are two types of spiritual silkworms after they spin cocoons. One is that silkworms turn into pupae in the cocoons, and finally turn into silk moths to lay eggs and reproduce offspring; the other is that spiritual silkworms hibernate in the cocoon nest and survive. After winter, they wake up the next year, bite out of their cocoons and come out to look for food.

Every year at the end of April or the beginning of May, the disciples of the Yuxia Sect who are responsible for taking care of the ice silkworms will stay in the silkworm room and send the spiritual silkworms that have woken up from hibernation and the hatched baby silkworms to Sangtuo On the tree, you don't need to worry about it from now on, just let the ice silkworms abide by the laws of nature to survive.

There are three varieties of Ice Spirit Silkworms in Yuxia Sect, one is white silkworm, which spins white silk, one type has light yellow skin and spins light golden silk, and one type is green silkworm. The shell and the silk produced are also naturally green.

He Chaoyang accompanied Little Fairy and Junior Sister to the sect’s Ice Spirit Silkworm living area, first to see the white Ice Spirit Silkworms.

The three types of silkworms of the Yuxia Sect have their own circles. The white silkworms live halfway up the 40,000-foot-high active volcano and will die even if they move to the foot of the mountain.

The golden silkworms that spin golden silk live in the area from the foot of the active volcano to the mountainside about 10,000 feet high. If they were moved to a height of more than 20,000 feet, they would definitely die.

The green-skinned green silkworms live in the area above 36,000 feet to less than 50,000 feet in Huohuo Mountain. If they are moved to a higher altitude or to a lower altitude, they will not survive. Hungry strike due to changes in temperature.

He Chaoyang led the little fairy to the foot of the volcano where the white silkworms lived. He quickly put on a set of robes made of ice spirit silk, and then took his junior sister to the mountainside to find the spirit silkworms.

In addition to being picky about their living environment, Ice Spirit Silkworms are also picky about people. Only people with wood or water attributes can approach them. If people without that attribute approach, they will riot collectively. .

He Chaoyang’s wood attribute is not high. In order to prevent the spirit silkworms from rioting, he still wears robes made of ice spirit silk. The spirit silkworms’ robes have their own smell, and the spirit silkworms smell the familiar smell. Will not reject.

Little classmate Le, she is born with her own affinity and does not need to wear a spiritual silk robe.The big lion Mao couldn't go to the living area of ​​​​the Ice Silkworm. He helped the little one kill the monsters by the hot spring.

He Chaoyang led his junior sister up to the mountainside of the active volcano, looking for Ice Silkworms in the mulberry forest and observing their living habits and food intake.

After staying in the White Silkworm Area for ten days, Le Yun collected the information she wanted, and then went to study the Golden Silkworm. She also stayed in the Golden Silkworm Living Area for ten days, and then went to the Green Silkworm Living Area. .

After traveling around the living area of ​​the Ice Spirit Silkworm and studying the living environment and habits of the Ice Spirit Silkworm, Classmate Le still has not waited until the Silkworm King of the Yuxia Sect wakes up, which is a pity.

The Ice Spirit Silkworm King of the Yuxia Sect has a silkworm king, a white silkworm king, who is already 170 years old. It sounds incredible, but among the previous silkworm kings of the Yuxia Sect, it is actually still the oldest silkworm king. Even though he was a young man, it is said that the longest-lived Silkworm King was more than 3,000 years old, and he was also a spiritual Silkworm King who had enlightened his wisdom. Unfortunately, he encountered a thunder disaster in the late stage of the foundation building period and was chopped into pieces by a thunderbolt.

One year before Le Xiaoxianzi visited Yuxia Sect, White Silkworm King hibernated.

After studying the Ice Spirit Silkworm, classmate Le returned to the Yuxia Sect and observed on the spot how the disciples of the Yuxia Sect peeled silk and pulled out cocoons.

The silk of Bingling silkworm is very thin and has high toughness. The entire reeling process of stripping the silk and extracting the cocoon is all done manually. It is still the most primitive method of extracting silk one cocoon after another. The person who extracts the silk and strips the cocoon It is required to be at least a Golden Core monk.

Before reeling, the cocoons are soaked in spiritual spring water for three days and three nights, the cocoons are boiled in a special small stove, and then the silk is drawn by hand and wound on a wooden frame.

The silkworm cocoons are not boiled directly in the pot on the stove. Instead, a wooden basin is placed in the hot pot. The wooden basin is filled with hot water to soak the silkworm cocoons. Because the stove is constantly burning, the pot The water is boiling water, and the water temperature in the basin also maintains a certain temperature.

The wooden basin and the wire-wrapped wooden frame are both the core parts of mulberry wood.
