Chapter 1940 Going down the mountain(1/2)
Chen Xiucai and Yu Chenghuang were both good talkers, and Judge Yi and Doctor Liu's compliments were just right.
Qin Sang occasionally interjected a few words, but mostly listened to their conversation with interest, accompanied by a glass of wine from time to time.
This table brings together all the gods and goddesses, which is a very special experience.
'Zizzi...'
Qin Sang personally operated the meat, using charcoal fire to lightly brown the meat, and sprinkled with seasoning powder. Every movement was precise and every detail was just right.
After roasting, take out a few skewers and give them to the apprentice.
The four little guys gathered in the corner, eating with their mouths full of oil.
"You... on the mountain... oh, you burned me to death!"
Tao Qian inhaled repeatedly, reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty, only to feel the fragrance reaching his bones.
I don’t know whether it was because he was burned or because he was jealous. Tao Qi’s eyes turned red when he looked at Yulang, “It’s really... a magical day!”
The book boy Mingyan agreed very much and nodded repeatedly.
"Eat yours!"
Yulang slapped Tao Qian with a spiritual fruit and blocked his mouth.
'Pah! Pah! Pah!'
Someone is knocking on the door frantically outside.
Doctor Liu was startled, and both Yu Chenghuang and Judge Yi looked back.
Qin Sang said it was okay, stood up and opened the door, and the Suzaku flew in with a ghostly appearance.
After being taught a lesson several times, it finally gained a memory and stopped yelling. It just stared at the meat in Qin Sang's hand.
Qin Sang had already prepared a plate for it, but Suzaku paid no attention to anyone and started eating frantically.
Everyone at the table stared at Suzaku as he ate the meat.
"Even birds like to eat it, so the taste is definitely the same," Dr. Liu said with a smile.
Suzaku rolled her eyes at him and continued eating wildly.
Yu Chenghuang and Judge Yi couldn't help but look at the red bird, and they were shocked to find that they couldn't even see through a bird in the Taoist temple?
After calming down for a while, Yu Chenghuang picked up a skewer of meat, sniffed it gently, and followed Qin Sang's example, biting off a piece directly from the skewer.
He also came from a scholarly family during his lifetime and had very strict rules since childhood. This was the first time he was so rude and he was not used to it.
Chen Xiucai was the same as him at first, but soon got used to it, and greatly praised this way of eating, claiming that this is how it should be eaten.
Yu Chenghuang tasted it carefully.
Chen Xiucai stared at him, waiting for him to swallow it, and said proudly: "Brother Yu, how does it taste? I'm not telling you any lies, right?"
“It can be called a fairy!”
Yu Chenghuang was generous in his praise.
"The Zuixiang Banquet at Zuixianglou is known as one of the best in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not as good as this simple skewer of meat."
Judge Yi agreed, but he was cursing in his heart. He didn't even look at what was used. Could it be delicious?
He glanced at the few mortals in the room. After eating so many powerful elixirs and fruits, they had not yet exploded and died. It was obvious that the temple master had secretly done something to allow them to slowly digest the power of the elixir, at least they could
Strengthen your body and last a lifetime.
"What is the Zuixiang Banquet?" Chen Xiucai was stunned. He had been to the Zuixiang Pavilion many times and had never had any Zuixiang Banquet.
"The owner of Zuixiang Restaurant was once an imperial chef. It is said that he offended Xiao Xiao in the palace and was forced to retire. He returned to Jinxian County to open Zuixiang Restaurant. Only the owner of Zuixiang Restaurant can cook the Zuixiang Banquet, and there is no successor to him so far. The owner is old and has been
I can't make it a few times every year, and only my boss's old friends have this kind of taste." Yu Chenghuang took a sip of the wine, savoring the mixture of wine, meat, and medicine.
"Another hermit, our Jin County can be called the city of hermits! The county of hermits! This is a revelation!"
Chen Xiucai was so excited that he suddenly slapped the table and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
He drank several drinks and his behavior became more and more bold.
Yu Chenghuang glanced at Qin Sang and said to himself, "It is both a hermit county and a hidden dragon's abyss. Brother Chen should be leaving the mountain next autumn, right?"
As the City God of Jinxian County, Yu Chenghuang would also pay attention to the talented people under his rule. He knew that this Chen Xiucai was quite knowledgeable, but it was a pity that his talent was not recognized and he failed to succeed after repeated trials.
Chen Xiucai smiled bitterly, "When I was young, I was pretentious, but failed repeatedly. Seeing that all my classmates were very proud, I could only pretend to be crazy. It was just a mask for myself to cover up the last bit of face. It was never true.
How can a hermit come out of his mountain to speak out?"
"With this big heart, I believe Brother Chen will be able to get what he wants one day," Qin Sang toasted Chen Xiucai, and the others drank with him.
No one said anything to comfort him. Chen Xiucai dared to expose his shortcomings, which showed that he did not need anyone's comfort.
Chen Xiucai accepted it calmly, stood up, and looked out the window, "When I was young and frivolous, my good words were astonishing. Now I no longer have the desire to be named a king or a marquis, or to leave my name in history. If I am lucky enough to get a meritorious title, I will just ask for it."
Live up to the people, live up to the emperor, live up to heaven and earth, and live up to your own heart!"
…
In the attic of Qingyang Temple, people mingled with each other.
People come and go in Jinxian County.
The teahouse should be more lively than the street.
When the girl walked into the teahouse, she felt a strange silence. Everyone was listening to the book attentively.
Dr. Tea walked very lightly and was afraid of making any noise when pouring tea.
The diners rarely talked to each other and even forgot to eat the food and tea in front of them.
Only when the storyteller photographed the gavel, the diners woke up from a dream, drank tea and talked, there was a moment of commotion, but their voices were like ants.
The whole teahouse echoed with the storyteller's voice, as if it blocked the noise outside.
"What story has such great appeal?"
When the girl saw this scene, she was secretly surprised. She looked past the diners and saw the storyteller on the stage.
Sure enough, as the aunt outside the door said, the storyteller was wearing a gray gown. He had a young face, a medium build, and a middle-aged appearance. He was the kind of person who would be ignored if thrown into a crowd.
The storyteller also noticed the girl entering the door, saw her coming, smiled slightly, and nodded in greeting.
The girl couldn't help but smile back.
Dr. Tea came up with a teapot. The two made eye contact for a moment, then led the girl to an empty table.
"It is said that when the Nine Heavens Goddess came to earth, the Heavenly Mother happened to send the blue bird to deliver the order, and secretly told the blue bird that if the Nine Heavens Goddess was stubborn, she would cast a spell to take her to Tianchi. Unexpectedly, the Blue Bird Sifan was abducted by the Nine Heavens Goddess in just a few words.
Into the mortal world..."
It turned out to be a fairy tale.
The girl thought, and was led by Dr. Tea to sit down. However, she did not notice that the kingfisher on her shoulder raised its head and flapped its wings when it heard the blue bird.
'Chirp...'
The kingfisher flew up obliviously.
Round after round, tirelessly.
Its feathers shed green light, and its chirping sound is completely integrated into the storyteller's story, transforming into the blue bird in the story, making everyone immersed in the story.
No one who listened to the book, including the girl, found it strange.
The girl completely ignored her playmate. After sitting down, she concentrated on the storyteller on the stage and listened to the touching story.
In a trance, she seemed to have become the Nine Heavens Goddess in the story.
Master is the cruel Heavenly Mother.
After descending to earth, every move and every encounter of the Nine Heavens Goddess touched her heartstrings.
When the Goddess of the Nine Heavens is happy, she smiles brightly.
When the Goddess of the Nine Heavens was sad, she burst into tears.
…
The girl forgets that she is in a teahouse, forgets everything around her, and is immersed in the world built by the storyteller.
Not long after the girl entered the teahouse, a dark wind suddenly blew in front of the teahouse door, and a figure invisible to ordinary people flashed in the shadow.
This man is wearing armor and is a ghost god under the command of the Jinxian City God. His divine status is not low. He is second only to the City God and the civil and military judges, and is on par with the chief officials and generals of the various departments.
"Going in?"
Where the god of travel appeared, there were two Yinzai standing there. They both bowed and said yes.
The girl should have some means of concealing her aura. When she entered the city, she was able to hide it from the gatekeeper, but she was still noticed by the Shinto treasures in the City God's Temple.
Unfortunately, none of the chief officials are here today.
The City God and Judge Wen went on patrol together, and Judge Wu personally led his troops out of the city to hunt down a monster.
Riyogami and the chief officials did not find out the origin of the girl and did not dare to act rashly. Seeing that she behaved innocently and did not seem to have any intention of harming others, Riyogami went out of the city to ask Judge Wu for instructions.
