Chapter 287: The Four Ghosts of Xiangxi
Lin Tian lay on the scorching wooden table in front of him, and he didn't mean to move, waiting for the old shopkeeper of the tea shed to give him some food and drink. 23US. Fastest update
Soon, I don't know if it was the temptation of Mei'er's piece of gold, a pot of mellow and wanton Longjing was brought over by the old shopkeeper, and the faint mellow fragrance instantly hooked Lin Tian who was lying on the table, he sat up, and without waiting for the old shopkeeper to pour tea, he took the lead in taking the teapot in the old shopkeeper's hand, and at the moment when his fingers touched the palm of the old shopkeeper, he felt that the hand that looked old was not rough as he imagined, but more of a delicacy that did not appear.
Lin Tian didn't think much about it, took the teapot, first took a tea bowl for Mei'er, who was sitting opposite, poured a bowl full, and poured another bowl for himself, and then didn't take a gentle peck like those literati and scholars, but didn't care about the scorching heat of the tea, poured it into his mouth in one gulp, and seemed to be a little unpleasant after drinking, followed by a large bowl of hot tea rolling down the dry throat.
The old shopkeeper stood aside and smiled, and said, "Guest officer, this is the first time I've seen tea like you, aren't you afraid that this hot tea will burn your throat?" ”
Lin Tian didn't say anything, but Mei'er, who was sitting opposite him, brushed the somewhat messy green silk in his ear, and said with a smile: "Old man, why do you bother to play the piano with a cow, do you think he looks like a literati?" He pursed his lips and smiled, and slowly pecked at the tea in his hand.
The old shopkeeper looked at the pair of young men in front of him who were dressed in shabby clothes but had an extraordinary temperament, and then looked at the piece of gold lying on the table, which was emitting a seductive golden light in the bright sunlight......
Thinking of this, the old shopkeeper couldn't help but complain about the second who was stir-frying, why wasn't he happy, and if he wasn't happy, the delicacy on the table was going to be sunburned, and he hurriedly ran to the kitchen behind the tea shed, to urge the damn two.
After Lin Tianniu drank a few large bowls of tea, this time he puffed up his chest a little comfortably, and looked around the tea shed casually, but just when he wanted to turn his head to see who was at the table next to him, Mei'er's voice had already entered his mind, "Don't look, those are the four ghosts of Xiangxi!" ”
"The four ghosts of Xiangxi? Who are they? Lin Tian had never heard of this name, and he subconsciously asked.
Mei'er continued to taste the fragrant tea in her hand, and said lightly: "It's a shame that you are still a monk of the Tang Dynasty, and you don't even know the famous four ghosts of Xiangxi in the Tang Dynasty!" ”
In fact, this can't be blamed on Lin Tian, he has really come into contact with too few people in the rivers and lakes since the first time he went down the mountain with the blue moon, either some ordinary people or some royal personnel, or he has come into contact with some bigwigs in the cultivation world, like the four ghosts of Xiangxi, he really doesn't have a chance to be a person, and he has no chance to know each other again.
Seeing the embarrassment on Lin Tian's face, Mei'er seemed to feel that something was wrong with her, and after thinking about it, judging from the information she knew, it was indeed impossible for Lin Tian to know this group of monks, from the Heavenly Sword Sect's Dao Emperor Capital to the Martial Kingdom, and even to the Northern Frontier, he had no chance to know this group of monks who were in the middle and lower levels of the cultivation realm.
Mei You gently tasted the dragon well in his hand, and then said lightly: "It is rumored that the four ghosts in Xiangxi are quadruplets, their mother dragged the body that had just given birth to them and went crazy and died, and the father also hanged himself in front of his house, and later the people in the village thought that these four children killed their mother and father, they were disaster stars, and then sent these four children to the deserted mountains and let them fend for themselves." ”
"I didn't expect God to pity the four brothers, and let the rumored butcher Zhang Youlin meet the poor four brothers, at that time the butcher was already old, seeing that he had little time, he took these four brothers away, and then I don't know what happened, since then the butcher disappeared in the vast sea of people, until one day, when the village that had abandoned these four brothers was discovered, when he saw the sea of corpses and blood, the rivers and lakes had the name of the four ghosts in Xiangxi."
"Legend has it that the death of those villagers is extremely terrifying, and the front of every house is full of dried human flesh, as well as the white bones standing in front of the door, which makes people feel hairy when they think about it, let alone look at it, but there is one thing that is very strange, that is, everyone's internal organs are gone......"
"So fierce? If you want revenge, you can kill them soon, why do you have to separate their flesh and bones, what do you want to do with such cruelty? Lin Tian couldn't help but be curious.
"Hehe, you don't want to know who their master is? I guess these four people must have obtained the true biography of the butcher, do you think about it, what is the butcher good at? Mei'er smiled slyly.
"I want to ......" Lin Tian's words hadn't come out yet, only to hear a shout from behind the tea shed, "The wine and food are here!" As soon as the words fell, I saw the old shopkeeper come with an extremely ugly two-ended wine and food with fragrant rice.
The sauce is fragrant with meat, braised cod, steamed white leaves, braised bacon, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fat sausage, and steamed pork heart......
After serving the wine and food, the old shopkeeper stood aside and said with a smile: "Two slow use!" These are our signature dishes, don't look at my chef ugly, but his craftsmanship is really top-notch! Even the imperial chef in the palace does not necessarily have his strength. ”
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Mei'er couldn't help but want to do it, just when she was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, Lin Tian said lightly to the old shopkeeper, "Old shopkeeper, you take the gold to get busy first, I want to ask the cook, what are the special features of these dishes!" ”
When the old shopkeeper heard that he had Lin Tian's permission, he immediately stretched out his hand to take the piece of gold that was lying on the table and was about to be sunburned, and at the moment when he stretched out his hand, Lin Tian sighed in his heart, where is that hand the palm of an ordinary old man, the fingers are thick and powerful, and the meridians are high and bulging, if he is not mistaken, this old man must be a master.
The old shopkeeper took the gold, staggered away under Lin Tian's gaze, and went to summon the four ghosts of Xiangxi at the table next to him.
The chopsticks in Mei'er's hand were picking up a piece of crystal clear braised pork and was about to put it next to the tempting fragrant lips, when Lin Tian called out to Mei'er and said with a smile: "Didn't you just finish drinking tea?" It's better to eat vegetables to pad your stomach first, otherwise your stomach will not be able to stand these greasy foods. Finished, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Er, who was standing aside and shrugged his shoulders.
At this time, Er, who was looking down at his toes, seemed to feel that Lin Tian was looking at him, he rubbed his oily palms, then raised his head, a smile appeared on his face, "Do you have any orders?" ”
"Where did this human flesh and human entrails come from, how do you feel as if they are preserved so fresh!" Lin Tian said casually. (To be continued.) )
