Chapter 194: The Mystery of Beef
"Master, the third child you have been thinking about is back. Gu Yu glanced at the foot of the mountain that was blocked by the thick fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but it seemed that he could see everything.
"He's been able to hold on so far, and he's exceeded what I expected of him. The old man didn't open his eyes, but nodded slightly.
"He finally decided to fight the world. Nangong Han sighed, not knowing whether he was sorry or helpless.
"That's not because you support him, otherwise he wouldn't have the courage. Gu Yu glared at Nangong Han, Nangong Han really didn't pay attention to him.
"Teacher, did you see today a long time ago?" Nangong Han frowned slightly.
"What if you see it, what if you don't see it?"
"This ......," Nangong Han was speechless for a while.
"Anyway, he's already your junior brother, isn't he?"
"The reason why the Hidden Dragon Court is different from other cultivation sects is that we have the strength to say no to this world. So, what can your junior disciples do against the world? The old man said it very naturally, without a hint of boasting at all, and it didn't seem to have any feeling of boasting, and the two people present also felt that they had nothing to refute this kind of remark, so they also thought so.
This is certainly not a kind of arrogance, but a kind of self-confidence.
"Master. Uncovering the verdant leaves in front of them, the grass pavilion came into view, and the three of them sat in the same posture and state as if they had never moved.
Sometimes Lin Ji would wonder if the people of the Hidden Dragon Court were only freaks themselves, because everyone else seemed to only sleep with their eyes closed, and they could make leaps and bounds in their cultivation. The latest and fastest updates
"Third child, you are so strong, even this beautiful woman-like face has become angular. Gu Yu said with a smile, and then glanced at the old man and Lin Ji.
Lin Ji was dressed very exquisitely today, he didn't wear a military uniform, nor did he wear a robe, but instead wore a wide-sleeved water cloud robe that the world should often wear, but he didn't wear it a few times.
There was also a long bun pinned to his head, which seemed to be about to soar into the sky.
"It's the first time I've seen you dressed like this, even in Canghai City. Nangong Han said, he pointed to the boots under Lin Ji's feet and said, "It would look better if the boots were changed to blue." ”
"I think this one is too dull, so I don't often wear it, but a few days ago, I happened to be free, so I turned it out, and today I wear it to show the master and brothers. Lin Ji scratched his back very uncomfortably and said.
"Are you sure you have time to find clothes? We've heard that the reckless army has crossed the border, but your men are leaving safely. Gu Yu scoffed.
"This ......" Lin Ji's old face turned red, and he coughed a few times uncomfortably.
Then he didn't care about the water cloud robe on his body, and did the work he often did on the mountain.
Cook!!!
At that time, it was almost dusk, and the red and warm sunset shrouded the cliff flat, and Lin Ji walked out of the cooking yard. And the master and the senior brother had already sat on the stone table at the edge of the cliff at some point.
Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, because he had never eaten at this stone table for a single day in the days he had been on the mountain, because the master had said that he would do something anywhere. This stone table is a place where several people play chess, so how can it be used for eating.
Gu Yu saw Lin Ji stunned in place, and glanced at him again, and Lin Ji turned around and carefully served the prepared dishes.
Sitting on the edge of the cliff, a few people had the food box that Lin Ji had just brought in their hands, although it was not exquisite, but it was extremely clean. There are a few taels of beef in the food box, and a small stir-fry. On the right hand side is a yellow clay wine jug, which is a clear old wine, the old man looks at the village and town in the distance at night, looking at the lights of thousands of homes there, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
Lin Ji came back with a bowl of rice porridge in his hand and placed it in front of the master, then took a step back and bowed.
The old man seemed to know what he was thinking, raised his hand and waved it for him to sit beside him, and then said, "I'll talk about it when I want to." ”
Lin Ji wanted to ask the old man a lot of questions, but looking at the warm back on the cliffside, he naturally remembered the back that occasionally only appeared in dreams, so he hesitated for a long time, but still didn't speak.
The old man does not move the chopsticks, and no one moves the chopsticks.
So the old man moved first.
The old man picked up a piece of beef with bright tendons, put it into his lips and chewed it slowly for a long time, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and when he sipped the meat aroma, he praised and said: "There is wine, meat and rice porridge, and you will have no worries in your life." ”
After saying this, he picked up the small flask and took a sip. A look of comfort that has never been seen before.
"That is, your craftsman will praise it, and the two of us don't know how many times he will be scolded because of cooking. Gu Yu complained, but his eyes had already fallen into the dish, and when he saw that the old man had finished eating, he quickly took a bite and chewed with his eyes closed.
Lin Ji sat next to the old man, picked up a piece of beef with his hand and threw it into his mouth, frowning, because he felt that the beef was too light, and the salt he put on it didn't seem to be so little. However, then he knew that he was wrong, this seemingly light and tasteless beef, the more he chewed it, the more fragrant it became, and after the tendons were cut off by his teeth, it released an incomparably wonderful mixed touch of elasticity and mushroom, and the unique taste of the beef itself gradually moistened the tongue.
"Good!" he was shocked. said: "The second senior brother is wrong, this is the master's craft." ”
"It doesn't matter whose craft it is, it's just that it's delicious. Or how you want to eat it, salt is delicious, but it loses the original tender taste of beef. After all, it's up to you to choose, but there's no right or wrong way to do it. ”
Lin Ji didn't understand the truth of these words, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Master, I have been having a dream in the past few years, or I have been making plans, and the story in the dream seems to be developing step by step. ”
The old man asked, "Why did you come to ask me?"
"Because I have you in my story. ”
The old man smiled and said, "I'm not Yi Hanlan's girl, why do you dream of me?"
Lin Ji said angrily: "Master, I'm talking about these things very seriously, can you not joke." On weekdays, he has a straight face, but now he is not serious. ”
Gu Yu's eyes widened, waiting for this boy who didn't know the height of the sky to accept the old man's thunderous wrath, but the development of things was indeed completely beyond her expectations.
Instead of getting angry, the old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Then you go on." ”
Looking at the old man's eyes, which were squinting but still seemed to be able to understand everything in the world, Lin Ji suddenly felt a little nervous, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Master, can I win." ”
Lin Ji looked at the cliffs under his feet, looked at the extraordinarily beautiful mountains and waterfalls under the starlight, and imagined that there would be no starlight nights, and it would be countless nights, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold.
The old man looked at his youngest disciple quietly and said, "Do you want to win?" ”
"Yes. Lin Ji clenched his fist hard, and his knuckles turned white at this moment.
"You probably didn't see what I meant. The old man sandwiched a piece of stir-fried greens, looked at the color and put it in his mouth with satisfaction, and said vaguely.
"Maybe it's better to ask you in a different way, are you going to lose?"
Lin Ji was silent and thought for a long time.
The old man asked again, "Now, do you want to win?"
Lin Ji's face was already pale, and he nodded affirmatively: "I have to win." ”
"That's good. ”
The wine is rough wine, and it really isn't a delicacy. But this night, the four masters and apprentices really drank very happily.
The lights in the town at the foot of the hill went out one after another, and then the next morning, when the sun rose, there were puffs of smoke rising from the place where the lights had been last night.
"What you are looking for is no longer on Shennong Mountain, but there is still one in Zhongjing City, but whether you can get it depends on yourself. ”
Lin Ji suddenly sobered up in a misty drunkenness.
He got two messages from these two short sentences: "First, Shennong Mountain will not stay out of the matter so far. Second, the master really has the ability to know everything. ”
