Chapter 40 The Long Family's errand (2)
The list is densely packed, with various items in the food documented in detail, and the parts that have been completed are marked next to it.
Before the two leaders of Zuo and Tai left, they checked the list and accounts in detail. Although the purchased goods were numerous and complicated, it was impossible to handle them perfectly, the share recorded on the documents in front of them was hugely different from the expected situation.
Long Yeyu said in a deep voice: "The two officials, Zhongnandao has been extremely uneasy in the past two years. The Long family itself is already in a tight position and has tried its best to get these things..."
Tai Jisheng handed the list to Zuo Yuan and asked lightly: "How do you say this?"
Long Yefeng saw that the other party was dissatisfied and quickly added: "Master Tai is not the 'Zi Yao Pavilion' intends to neglect it. It is true that there are too many chores in the pavilion, and many times he cannot help himself. A few years ago, Lizhou's 'Fire Thunder Gate' was destroyed, so both of them know... "
Left and Tai worked at "Guanyuezhai", and they were well-informed in all aspects, and they had heard of this matter. Tai Jisheng sat down and asked, "However, a small and medium-sized sect in a county is thousands of miles away from "Zi Yao Pavilion"?"
Long Yefeng smiled bitterly and said, "If it was born and destroyed in the county, it would be very easy. But it was not easy to attack and destroy the "Fire Thunder Gate". It was achieved by the joint efforts of the two sects. Before the matter was over, the two sects became terrified. Among them, the "Ghost Sect" took the approach of the "Blood God Sect" and seemed to have stumbled against the "Wanjian Sect". The "Wanjian Sect" naturally refused to suffer losses, and joined forces with several sects to fight, which made a mess..."
Zuo Yuan frowned when he heard this.
Except for the "Blood God Sect", the sects listed in the Long family are all ordinary sects that are not in the ordinary. They have nothing to do with "Zi Yao Pavilion". What's the point of saying this at this time? He waved his hand and directly interrupted Long Yefeng's introduction.
"Will they even fly thousands of miles to come and make things difficult for you?"
Long Yeyu pursed her lips and explained in a deep voice: "The Zuozhuoshi Mingjian, originally this matter has nothing to do with the 'Zi Yao Pavilion'. However, the 'Fire Thunder Gate' was destroyed and not stiff, and some disciples escaped... A few rumors were rumored some time ago, saying that they were hiding in Jingzhou, lurking in Shouyang County, and in the Daxing Mountain between Xiujiao County, and killed several disciples of the 'Ghost Sect'. Although the 'Wanjian Sect' was full of contradictions, the 'Ghost Sect' was not vague in this matter and sent people to check it out. During this period, they met high-level monks who specifically robbed and killed the disciples on both sides..."
Long Yefeng said, "Yes, things have not stopped yet. Some worms have an opportunity to take advantage of, so they all ran to Daxingshan to catch up with fishing, so it was extremely uneasy around Shouyang. What is the current situation of the Long family? I believe the two officials must know, this... this..."
Long Yefeng didn't say anything more, Zuo and Tai understood it.
"Zi Yao Pavilion" once a monk became a real person of the Yuanying, which was so powerful that he was famous in Jingzhou and created a huge family business.
However, in recent hundreds of years, the Long family has withered talents, and the highest cultivation level among the clan is only Kandan. Shouyang County has mountains and waters and abundant resources. With the current strength of the Long family, it cannot stand the aura of dozens of towns.
The reason why "Zi Yao Pavilion" can support it is not overwhelmed. In addition to the efforts of the Long family, the background of "Guan Yuezhai" is of great significance and is one of its cornerstones of survival. There are many sects and families that are stronger than "Zi Yao Pavilion", but no one dares to stroke the tiger beards of "Guan Yuezhai".
In the view of Zuoyuan, Tai Jisheng and other worshippers, no matter who masters local resources, they have to compromise with the Zhaizhong in the end. They do not understand why the upper class chooses to support the Long family.
However, they are just in charge of the work, and the key is to do a good job in the job.
The situation of the Long family determines their style of conduct, which means that they are particularly stable in their work and are unwilling to let their family members take risks. Since the surroundings are rampant, it is indeed unrealistic to expect them to complete the list independently.
*********************
The next morning, Long Tang Shan came to the temple early and led everyone around Shouyang's famous scenic spots. He gave him eloquence and wrote down the classics and stories at will. Most of the worshipers did not feel bored when they first arrived in Shouyang.
"... Please look at the crack in the 'Yei Shishi'. It was the mark left by the sword immortal when he showed his power and killed the camel monster. Tens of thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain cannot erase the remaining power of the past, which makes us have the honor to admire the heroic postures of our ancestors. Alas... I am ashamed that I have not improved for many years of cultivation, and I am afraid I will never have the opportunity to advance..."
Although everyone felt that it was a bit exaggerated, the last sigh resonated with most monks.
It is difficult to practice, but it is harder than to reach the sky. All the foundation-building monks present were trapped in a certain hurdle, and there was not even a perfect foundation-building monk.
Pang Bai smiled and said, "Manager Tang is obsessed with her...that cliff is more than three miles long, with shrubs, flowers and plants all growing in the same direction. If it was really chopped out by a sword, the sword would definitely be extremely sharp, which would affect the direction of the feng shui of the earth. Such communication between the vitality of heaven and earth and the power of the great truth, can at least be emitted by the real person of the Nascent Soul. The gap between us is too far, so it is better to use this as a mirror and work hard to achieve strength is the right reason..."
Ge Lutong said: "What Brother Pang said is very true. Instead of being here to envy the fish, it is better to make some real efforts. Manager Tang, is there any fresh dishes to launch in the 'Jiuxianju'? Master Ling's hand is delicate and juicy, but I often remember it, and I always remember it. When I go to Shouyang, it is a delicacy that cannot be missed. Maybe it is unknown if you find a breakthrough opportunity in the spiritual meal."
“Not bad, not bad…”
"It's rare to find spiritual food, it's rare to find spiritual food..."
The envoys in Jieling City agreed in unison, obviously they were regular customers who had been to Shouyang for the first time. Jing Hua and others only heard about it.
It seems that there is a "Jiuxianju" nearby, in which monks are good at making spiritual meals, called "Cunjin Cartilage". Not only is it delicious, but it is also of great benefit to practice.
Long Tang smiled and said, "Just about to tell you that the time is almost the same, so let's go to 'Jiuxianju'. So that you can find out that there is a new Master Gong here, "Yun Danfeng Qing Tang" is elegant and wonderful, and it is just right to taste it with you."
When they heard that there was spiritual food to enjoy, everyone was in high spirits. Jing Hua and his colleagues talked and headed towards Zihui City next to them.
"Spiritual Season" is listed as one of the eight arts of monks, and it has its own unique features. There are not many monks who are good at this path, but they are very popular with their colleagues.
They are gifted and can find the essence of the monsters. Then they refine and cook them to make them a wonderful dish.
Unlike "elixir", the elixir is mixed with spiritual herbs and refined by real fire, and there are always some elixirs left in it. The top-grade elixirs have few elixirs, and most of them can be excreted as they are practiced. The quality of the middle and lower-grade elixirs is uneven, and taking more often can leave the root of disaster.
"Spiritual Food" takes a different approach and takes the "cooking" approach.
The dishes do not add herbs. They rely solely on the secret skills and means of monks to stimulate the potential contained in the ingredients, making them beneficial to practice, and have no toxicity in themselves. Of course, the effect of "spiritual meal" is not as obvious as the elixir, and there are not many monks who are proficient in this path, so the diet is quite expensive.
