According to Ge Hong, the "jujube core" in this man's mouth when he was eating grain was actually something called "steamed pill bait".

Although this thing looks like a date core, it is made from refined grains through a special process of nine steaming, nine exposures and nine pressures, hence the name "Steamed Dan Bait". To put it bluntly, it is somewhat similar to the compressed biscuits of later generations.

, not magical at all.

Moreover, he did not just hold a "jujube stone" in his mouth when he was fasting. He also hid many similar date seeds in the layers of his clothes. He would take one of them every once in a while to satisfy his hunger. Others who did not know what was going on would naturally think that he was

The "date core" in his mouth was still the same one from the beginning, and he said that he really didn't need to eat anything to survive.

In fact, if you think about it, the "date core" itself is the biggest loophole...

Since fasting means not eating anything, why do you still have to put a "jujube core" in your mouth that has no nutrition and cannot satisfy your hunger? Wouldn't it be more powerful if it doesn't contain anything?

"Nice to meet you!"

Wu Liang still smiled and clasped his fists in salute, but after hearing Cao Pi introduce Xi Jian, his expression finally changed slightly due to inner activities.

The only reason is that Xi Jian, a liar, was so sure that Wu Liang accidentally got a little excited.

"!"

Cao Pi had been paying attention to Wu Liang's expression, so he immediately noticed this change, and then he became energetic and secretly happy in his heart.

Hey, hey, hey, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you finally can't hold it any longer?

My father just randomly found four strangers from the people, and he has already made your heart so shaken. It seems that the background of your army is nothing more than this...

Thinking of this, Cao Pi immediately smiled and asked: "Brother-in-law, what do you think of the abilities of these immortal masters?"

"The four immortal masters are of extraordinary ability, and they are all rare enlightened people in the world. How am I qualified to judge them? Second Young Master, please don't try to undermine me."

Wu Liang waved his hands repeatedly while making a haha ​​sound.

At this moment, Wu Liang has determined the purpose of Boss Cao recruiting these alchemists. Even if it is not to deal with him, it is definitely to prevent him and the Hu army.

Otherwise, Boss Cao had no need to conceal the existence of these people before, let alone hand them over to Cao Pi at this time. These people were obviously tools prepared in advance to deal with the Hu army. Now that it is time to go into battle, naturally

There is no need to hide it anymore.

"Or else?"

Cao Pi went on to say, "I heard a long time ago that my brother-in-law also gathered some capable people and strangers in the Hu army. These people are also capable people. Today it happens that these four immortal masters are with me."

Now that we are here, why don’t my brother-in-law also invite the talented people and strangers in the Hu army to introduce them one by one, so that we can all communicate with each other? " Wouldn't it be nice?"

"That's not necessary, haha."

Wu Liang continued to laugh and said, "The people in the Hu army are all ordinary people. They may be better than ordinary people, but if you want to compare with these four immortal masters, it is really a bit of a compliment to them. It's better not to come out and show up around them."

It's good to be embarrassed in front of an immortal master."

"..."

When all the key members of the Hu army present heard Wu Liang "belittle" them in this way, they felt no emotion in their hearts and no change in their expressions.

How could they not hear that Cao Pi was actually trying to find out the background of the Hu army? Wu Liang would not be fooled by him, and naturally the people of the Hu army would not be fooled easily either.

"Brother-in-law, what you said is wrong. How can it be embarrassing?"

Cao Pi then said, "Although I am not a Taoist, I also know that Taoists always value understanding and opportunity. If they take this opportunity to communicate with each other, maybe someone will have an epiphany. This is also true for the capable people and strangers under my brother-in-law."

It’s a good thing... I just want to take this opportunity to open my eyes, so I ask my brother-in-law to do it!"

While speaking, Cao Pi's eyes were still vaguely looking at the backbone of the Hu army on the opposite side.

He had already done a lot of research on the Hu people's army, and he knew that the capable men and strangers in the Hu people's army were among this group of old, young, women and children. Otherwise, how could Wu Liang take them with him every time he went on an expedition?

But when his eyes crossed Zhen Mi's face, he paused slightly for a second.

Still so amazing!

I recall that the last time I saw Zhen Mi was half a year ago. At that time, Wu Liang and Cao Ni had just gotten married. Cao Pi and his biological mother, Mrs. Bian, were choosing cloth at a cloth shop in Chenliu City. Then they saw Wu Liang, Cao Ni and others hanging out together.

Zhen Mi, he was shocked at that time...

Speaking of which, this beauty's name does not seem to be in the list submitted by the Hu army.

So does she not need to be dealt with?

I just don’t know what the relationship is between her and Wu Liang?

Master and servant?

Concubine?

It's a pity that no matter what the relationship is, it is impossible for me and her to have any intersection... If it is a master and servant, the status is inconsistent, and if it is a concubine, the ethics are inconsistent.

But for some reason, every time I see her, my heart feels itchy like a thousand cat claws scratching me.

It would be great if father planned to deal with Wu Liang together this time...

"this……"

Wu Liang looked troubled.

Cao Pi moved his eyes away from Zhen Mi's face, forcibly getting rid of the desires in his mind that were inconsistent with his age, and saluted and said: "Brother-in-law, I have such a small request, you won't refuse, right?"

"Since the second young master is so elegant, I would rather obey him than obey him."

Wu Liang finally agreed reluctantly.

"?"

Everyone in the Hu army looked at Wu Liang in confusion.

They were all people who knew Wu Liang relatively well. They knew that Wu Liang usually kept a low profile and would never reveal the identity of the He army easily. Moreover, with his wisdom, it was impossible not to see Cao Pi's intention to test the depth of the He army.

, there is no way that he could fall into the trap of the little brat in front of him so easily.

Therefore, they really couldn't figure out why Wu Liang suddenly agreed to Cao Pi.

"Thank you, brother-in-law. Then please introduce me to the talented people in the Hu army."

When Cao Pi heard this, his face immediately lit up with joy, he sat upright and said expectantly.

"Easy to say."

Wu Liang smiled slightly, and first looked at the opposite Gan Shi who was good at guiding Qi and was said to have lived for more than two hundred years. He cupped his hands and said, "I just heard from the Second Young Master that this Master Gan is the best at guiding Qi.

, not only has I achieved the state of being immune to evil spirits and prolonging my life, but nourished by this secret technique, my body has become soft and as if reborn, and I am really surprised that I can pass through a cave that is only slightly larger than my head.”

"Your Excellency is so complimentary."

Gan Shi puffed up his chest, stroked his beard, squinted his eyes slightly and nodded, looking like a master from this world.

Unexpectedly, Wu Liang suddenly changed his attitude, and then said: "However, there is also a stranger in the Hu army who is good at guiding Qi. This man has lived for more than six hundred years, but his appearance looks older.

He is younger than Master Gan. In addition, his body has been nourished by this secret technique for many years, and his body is also softer and can easily pass through holes smaller than his head."

"oh?"

Hearing this, both Gan Shi and Cao Pi couldn't help but frowned, and even Cao Chun and several other immortal masters looked suspicious. In the end, Cao Pi asked, "I wonder who my brother-in-law is talking about?

"

"this……"

Everyone in the Hu army looked at each other in confusion. Not to mention Cao Pi and the others, even they were confused by Wu Liang. How come they didn't know that there was a Daoyinxian in the Hu army who had lived for more than 600 years?

.

Even Yu Ji only claimed to have lived more than a hundred years when he was showing off outside.

But speaking of people with soft bodies who can pierce small holes, there is indeed one...

Just when I was thinking about it.

"Master Yang, please."

Wu Liang turned back and looked at the people of the Hu army, or to be precise, at Yang Wanli.

"I?"

Yang Wanli raised his hand and pointed at himself, with a blank look on his face.

"I know that Master Yang Xian is usually low-key, but this is the first time that the Second Young Master has made such a request to me. How can I deny his dignity and ask Master Yang to take care of me."

While talking, Wu Liang winked at Yang Wanli.

"..."

Everyone in the Hu army was speechless.

When it comes to serious nonsense, Wu Liang claims to be second, but probably no one in the world dares to claim to be first.

He is still able to guide his qi, and he is still over 600 years old... Fortunately, Wu Liang figured it out. If everyone in the Hu army knew each other, they would almost believe it.

"Ahem!"

However, Yang Wanli had been following Wu for a long time, and he entered the scene incredibly quickly. He just cleared his throat and got into the mood in an instant. Then he stood with his hands folded behind his back, his chin slightly raised, his eyes narrowed, and his tone

He nodded in a low voice and replied, "Since it's the young master's wish... that's all."

"Well……"
