Strange Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 444 Volume D The Desire for Food and Drink Is Also a Universal Law

I haven't seen him for a while, but I didn't expect that Bijiao Yuanjun would give me a big melon when I met him.

The battle at Biji Peak more than 20 years ago was still quite shocking in Fuyang Road. Even Ding Zongshou and the Youzhou Ning family, as well as the neighboring Tianhe Sect and Yuelu Sect, heard about it.

Therefore, after the Chonghua Sect entered Wolong Ridge, they also specifically explored what was strange about the Lingshan blessed land left by the Dongxuan Sect.

Why this great river and mountain has been abandoned for so many years without anyone paying attention is impossible to explain without some convincing reasons.

However, the information received was unclear. One of the most important factors was that there were two or three sects who moved to Wolong Ridge, but almost none of them survived for more than a year. They were either wiped out or suffered heavy losses due to attacks by monsters. decline.

This seems to be a matter of luck in the blessed land of Lingshan. It is difficult to explain it with other reasons, but it is also the most taboo and important reason. Over time, no one is willing to come.

As for individual cultivators, such a large blessed land like Lingshan has become a taboo place, and they are even less willing to take risks.

There are of course some secondary reasons.

For example, if you are too close to the Tianhe Sect, the Tianhe Sect will not like to see someone sleeping soundly under the couch, and it will easily cause trouble.

For example, there are alien cultivators living in Jade Chicken Peak, and they have bad tempers and ruthless styles, and they may cause trouble for their neighbors at any time.

There were rumors about the viciousness of the Battle of Jade Rooster Peak, but they were all vague. Being able to hear the person involved talking about it with my own ears was considered a fate.

"Senior, that senior is the same as you..." Chen Huaisheng still couldn't hold it back and felt embarrassed.

This was the first time he had heard of the war between different cultivators, and with the strength of Bijiao Yuanjun, that one should have touched or even crossed the threshold of the Golden Elixir Avenue.

"He was slightly better than me more than twenty years ago, but it's hard to say now. It depends on his circumstances and practice in the past twenty years..." Bijiao Yuanjun didn't seem to care too much about this, "These twenty years I have had a lot of luck this year, so I am confident that I can compete with him.”

The progress of alien cultivators is slower than that of human monks, and the further they go, the more so, because their lifespans are longer than humans, and their intuition is very simple for them, but it is too difficult to learn understanding.

The further you go, the more emphasis you put on understanding. This is why Chen Huaisheng had to drag Xiong Zhuang into the world to understand and learn. Only he can realize the Tao.

According to the other party, he should have taken a big step in the past twenty years, but the other party may not be able to make progress in the past twenty years, so he came to challenge and take back Jade Rooster Peak. Who would have thought that Jade Rooster Peak would not be able to make progress in the past twenty years? It has long been abandoned and has become a land without one.

After hearing this, Chen Huaisheng was still reminiscing, but Bijiao Yuanjun said impatiently: "Okay, I haven't eaten the food you made for a long time. I ate it at Changqing Tower yesterday, but it was not very satisfying, so I looked at you." Are you here? I have some ingredients here. See if you can make some dishes. Here, look,..."

A leather bag was thrown over, and Chen Huaisheng quickly caught it and weighed it. Although he didn't know what was inside, the strong aura of spiritual power was self-evident.

As expected, he is worthy of being a leader of the cultivators. He won't give you any chance to argue, and he will just give you orders and make arrangements.

"Senior, there's only one person here?" Chen Huaisheng looked around. This Shangqing Palace is not a place for cooking.

"It's just me, who else can it be?" Bijiao Yuanjun snorted, "I went to Jinming Pond to fish this out last night..."

Chen Huaisheng was shocked, Jin Mingchi?

This is Zhao's forbidden area, and this guy actually eats from the tiger's mouth?

As if aware of Chen Huaisheng's horror, Bijiao Yuanjun curled his lips, "It's a pity that a good place is dominated by these boring people. The magic circle does have some skills, but it is useless to me. ,..."

Seeing the smug look on Bijiao Yuanjun's face, Chen Huaisheng also knew that the Zhao family's Dharma-protecting formation guarding their important territory was not an easy task. Sneaking in for this person might not be as simple as he said, and there was probably some reason for it.

He didn't expose it, he just looked at the other party a few more times, making the other party feel prouder.

He untied the leather bag and took a glance. Although he had been mentally prepared, he still took a breath when he saw something fresh, red light shining, almost overflowing from the leather bag.

Authentic Yellow River red crucian carp!

This thing is named after the Yellow River red crucian carp, but it has long since disappeared in the Yellow River. You may not be able to get one even after half a year of tossing in the Yellow River.

In Jinming Pond, it is raised by the officials, but it is also hatched and domesticated from generation to generation. Ordinary people only know that it is inside, and only those who are invited to the official banquet every New Year's Eve can taste it.

It is said that one red crucian carp can be sold for thousands or even thousands of spiritual stones, and this bag may not contain thirty or fifty tails!

The total number of red crucian carp raised in Jinming Pond is probably no more than three to five hundred, and no more than three hundred can be eaten each year, and the rest must be kept for breeding.

It is said that the official himself only eats one red crucian carp every day, and the blood of red crucian carp needs to be eaten raw.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng so shocked, Bijiao Yuanjun stroked his beard and chuckled: "There's no need to be so nervous. No one knows that I entered Jinming Pond. This red crucian carp is really spiritual. It took me two hours to catch fifty tails, and I almost did it." It alarmed Zhao's spiritual cultivation, but I'm just good at this one, so if you have the ability to make a delicious dish, don't waste my hard work all night."

Chen Huaisheng didn't know whether this guy's nighttime intrusion into Jinming Pond alerted the official family, but Chen Huaisheng felt that it might be difficult to conceal it. However, the Zhao family might not be able to find the perpetrator now. If it was exposed, the reputation of the Zhao family would be lost. So I only dare to cover up and investigate in private.

"Senior, I dare not cook this thing in the city. Once it is discovered, it will be a disaster. If you really want to enjoy it, you may have to go out of the city to find a suitable place, and you have to buy some ingredients."

To be honest, Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but be tempted when he saw these dozens of Yellow River red crucian carp.

Yellow River red crucian carp is not like other ordinary spiritual fish. It can only survive in a place full of spiritual energy. Jinming Lake has accumulated spiritual energy for thousands of years, and can only raise more than a thousand fish. It can be seen that this thing is precious and delicate.

Precisely because it is the spiritual energy of Jinming Lake, its fish meat, fish blood, fish belly, fish bones and fish bones are all rare treasures.

Fish meat is not to be mentioned, fish blood has the effect of nourishing roots and tendons. As long as it is a Taoist cultivator under the age of 21, it has the effect of nourishing spiritual roots.

After refining, fish belly can be used to bond magic tools and talismans to bridge all spiritual conflicts. In other words, if you want to make dual-sex and triple-sex talismans or magic tools, you must have this thing.

Fish bones and fish spines have the effect of strengthening bones, and can be used to refine Hehe Zhuanggu Pills, which is no exception for Dao bones. This shows how precious this thing is.

"Okay, as long as you can do it, I will only eat this fish meat. I guess you are also interested in the rest of the things, so just give it to you, how about it?" Bi Jiao Yuanjun is not a stingy person. Fish blood, fish belly, and fish bones are not of much significance to him. He only wants to satisfy his appetite.

Three hours later, the two of them had already started working in a field outside Fantai.

Chen Huaisheng carefully scraped the scales of the fish that had been cut open, removed the fish organs, and then rubbed the whole body with green salt and marinated for half an hour.

Then fry the fish until the fish skin is browned.

Put the bamboo leaves in a casserole and wash them with boiling water, then spread them on the bottom of the casserole, put the fried fish in it, on top of the leaves, and then cover it tightly with leaves, stacking them layer by layer, pouring in water and starting to simmer.

At this time, Chen Huaisheng began to use his skills according to the "Three Courtyard Imperial Cookbook".

Pour dill seeds and celery, kumquat peel, scallion, paper mulberry, brown sugar, fermented black beans, salt, vinegar, rice wine and other things into another small pot, and carefully mash them into a paste.

More than an hour passed, and the casserole began to gurgle with hot steam. Chen Huaisheng kept adding water. This dish of crispy red crucian carp is not so easy to make. The meat of the red crucian carp is both tough and tender. It must be simmered to the right degree to make it crispy and soft, but it cannot be overcooked to lose its tenderness, so it is particularly demanding. He has never done it before, so he can only observe the heat at any time to achieve perfection.

Finally, when he felt that the soup was gone and only the fish meat was left, he took out the bamboo leaves and the red crucian carp, and put them on the plate. At this time, the sauce was slowly poured on them.

Seeing Chen Huaisheng's delicate manipulation, Bi Jiao Yuanjun had to admit that humans were not comparable to them in cooking methods.

Just the various ingredients and the control of the cooking temperature are the result of countless experiences accumulated over thousands of years. In this regard, the other cultivators can't even catch up.

When the fish meat cooled down by itself, Chen Huaisheng gently raised his hand: "Senior, it's done."

He had been eager to eat, but in front of Chen Huaisheng, Bi Jiao Yuan Jun still had to remain calm. It was not until Chen Huaisheng signaled that he could not suppress his inner expectations, stroked his beard, pursed his lips and smiled: "You have worked hard too, together, together,..."

Chen Huaisheng could hear the insincerity in the other party's words, but since he dared to speak, he would not be polite.

Picking up the fish meat and putting it in his mouth, the delicious and crispy fragrance that penetrated into his taste buds made Bi Jiao Yuanjun's eyes narrowed. Even the fish bones that had been simmered and crispy had a unique crispy taste when chewed in his mouth...

After Chen Huaisheng ate two red crucian carps, he took the initiative to put down his chopsticks. The other party's somewhat unfriendly eyes forced him to watch the battle awkwardly.

Except for the two red crucian carps that were eaten by Chen Huaisheng, the remaining 18 were chewed and tasted slowly by Bi Jiao Yuanjun. The later he chewed, the slower Bi Jiao Yuanjun's movements were, so slow that even Chen Huaisheng was a little curious and surprised.

Seems a little different?

Bi Jiao Yuanjun's eyes were closed, and there was a little confusion and exploration between his eyebrows. Later, he seemed to have some insights, and seemed to be still searching...

Chen Huaisheng didn't dare to speak.

He didn't know what the state of enlightenment of the alien cultivators was, especially at the level of Bi Jiao Yuanjun, it was even harder to say.

The bonfire was only half lit up, and the sky was completely dark, but Bi Jiao Yuan Jun still did not open his eyes.
