Chapter 69: Fellow Believers
Unprepared, a fat man with five big and three thick is barbecuing meat in the courtyard. Lin Yichen didn't expect that someone would cook in the yard, and if he wanted to dodge, it was too late. The fat man, who was five big and three thick, had already spotted him, and his two little eyes looked straight at him.
Lin Yichen was stunned for a moment, staring at this fat man, and quickly thought in his heart, how to explain it reasonably to avoid arousing the suspicion of the martial artists of the Heavenly Sword Tower.
"You-" Before Lin Yichen could speak, the fat man spoke first, "Aren't you a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Academy?" As he spoke, his body moved quietly, trying to block the barbecue on the wooden shelf.
Lin Yichen glanced at it and seemed to see a bare ...... Chicken?!
It's just that this chicken is surprisingly big, more than ten times larger than ordinary chickens, and its legs are particularly long.
No, it doesn't seem to be a chicken!
Looking down, Lin Yichen saw a pile of feathers on the ground, a pile of black and white feathers.
He immediately understood that it was not a chicken roasting behind the fat man, but a stolen white-feathered crane.
The white-feathered immortal crane is a rare bird and beast, within a radius of thousands of miles, except for the Heavenly Sword Academy, there is no white-feathered immortal crane anywhere else. Even thousands of miles away, there are few traces of white-feathered cranes.
In other words, ninety percent of this one that had been plucked out of its feathers and roasted on the shelf was the White Feather Immortal Crane, the lost courtyard bird of the Heavenly Sword Academy!
And this fat man is the bold fanatic in the mouth of the Heavenly Sword Academy!
"Of course I'm not a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Academy!" Guessing the identity of the other party, Lin Yichen knew how to answer, "I just want to come and steal something." ”
"Hey, it turned out to be a fellow practitioner!" The fat man's face loosened, laughed, and beckoned Lin Yichen over, "Brother, come and see, see if the crane I stole is fat?"
"My brother is amazing! I heard that the White Feather Immortal Crane of the Heavenly Sword Academy, fed with spirit grass and spirit fruit all the year round, has evolved into a third-order demon beast, and its own strength should not be underestimated. Besides, there are all the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Academy guarding you, how did you steal it?" Lin Yichen asked very curiously.
"It's a trivial matter! As long as I want to eat, there's nothing I can't eat!" The fat man said proudly, "A little bit of a sword academy, brother, I haven't taken it seriously!"
Lin Yichen was stunned when he heard this, and he was still playing with the Sword Academy, if the Heavenly Sword Academy was small, then within a radius of a hundred miles, I am afraid there would be no force that could be considered a big one.
Unexpectedly, for the sake of appetite, offended the Heavenly Sword Academy, this fat man is either a fool, or a capable foodie.
"Brother, it's really a master of art who is bold, he stole the White Feather Immortal Crane of the Heavenly Sword Academy, and dared to roast and eat it in the Heavenly Sword Tower!" Lin Yichen couldn't figure out the details of the fat man, and just said some polite words.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place! Those stupid people would never have dreamed that I would be in their inn! Hahaha......" The fat man laughed proudly, and quickly covered his mouth again, making a silent motion.
"Eat slowly, brother, I'll go first! ”
Lin Yichen thought to himself, since this fat man was able to steal the White Feather Immortal Crane, the courtyard bird of the Heavenly Sword Academy, no matter what means he used, he was definitely not a simple person! If he left without knowing each other, he would probably be wiped out.
"Hey, brother, don't be in a hurry to leave!" the fat man called out to Lin Yichen and said with a smile, "We are like-minded people, and we are familiar at first sight, so it's better to stay and eat together!"
"No, no! The flesh of the white-feathered crane, I'm afraid I can't digest it!"
Lin Yichen hurriedly waved his hand and refused, if the Heavenly Sword Academy knew that he had eaten their courtyard bird, the White Feather Immortal Crane, he would not have to pick his skin and cramp his tendons!
The fat ghost elf saw that Lin Yichen seemed to be worried, and squeezed his little eyes and said excitedly: "Brother, you won't be afraid of this group of sword-playing people, right?"
"What, how could Ben Shao be afraid?" Lin Yichen frowned, being so excited by the fat man, his arrogance also came up, and he categorically denied that he was afraid of the Heavenly Sword Academy.
"That's it, those people who play with swords are a fart!" The fat man stretched out his hand to hug Lin Yichen, hooked his shoulders and said, "I can't eat this white-feathered crane alone." Besides, it's too boring for me to eat alone...... Wouldn't it be nice for us to drink and talk together?"
Seeing that the fat man had no intention of extinguishing his mouth, and his attitude was sincere, it didn't seem to be fake. Lin Yichen relaxed, anyway, he was hungry, so it was good to eat something, and it was still a rare crane meat, so he didn't eat it for nothing.
He found a stone pier and sat down opposite the fat man.
Watching the fat man skillfully flip the white-feathered crane, Lin Yichen secretly thought that this fat man must not have done anything less to steal chickens and touch dogs, otherwise he would not be so skillful in roasting.
The white-feathered crane has been roasted to a browned skin, and from time to time sesame oil drips into the fire, making a sizzling sound.
"It should be almost!"
The fat man muttered, took out a white jade vial, and sprinkled a little salt on the white-feathered crane, making the roasted crane meat more and more fragrant.
Lin Yichen sniffed and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Haven't consulted my brother's name yet?"
The fat man took out a bright knife, sneered, cut off a crane leg, and handed it to Lin Yichen.
"Lin Yichen!" Catching the crane leg, Lin Yichen swallowed his saliva and asked rhetorically, "What do you call my brother?"
The fat man cut off another crane leg for himself, sniffed it and said, "My name is Li Xiaoyao." The first time I roasted this white-feathered crane, I couldn't hold the heat, so Brother Lin tasted it first. ”
As he spoke, he took a bite of it first, and then said, "Well, yes, this crane meat is really better than chicken!
"Uh, I'll taste ......"
Lin Yichen hugged the crane's leg and took a bite. Maybe it's because I'm too hungry, but I don't taste the earthy smell, I just feel that the outside is burnt and the inside is tender, and the mouth is full of fragrance, which is very delicious, but it seems that something is missing......
After another bite, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Xiaoyao: "Brother, you wait a while, brother, I'll go find something." With that, he put down the crane's legs and slipped in and out of the courtyard.
Li Xiaoyao nodded, took out a wine gourd, and said, "Come back quickly, let's open the wine!"
After a while, Lin Yichen came back with a small jar in his hand: "Found it! Fortunately, there is this thing in the kitchen of the Sword Tower this day......
"Oh, what is it?" Li Xiaoyao's eyes widened, thinking that Lin Yichen had run to steal some powerful treasure, and he looked interested.
"Cumin!"
Lin Yichen smiled, opened the jar, pinched out some cyan powder from it, and sprinkled it on the crane leg in Li Xiaoyao's hand. This is a secret ingredient that he stumbled upon since he was a child, and it definitely tastes good when sprinkled on this baked thing!
Li Xiaoyao waited for Lin Yichen to finish sprinkling, sniffed it with his nose, and asked strangely: "What is this, why does it smell of herbs?"
"Just think it's a seasoning agent!" Lin Yichen also sprinkled some on his crane legs, and then took a bite, "Well, that's the taste!
Li Xiaoyao looked at Lin Yichen with a look of enjoyment, took a bite suspiciously, the expression on his face instantly became exciting, and exclaimed, "This taste...... It's delicious!"
Admiring, Li Xiaoyao took another bite, and after tasting it carefully, he stretched out his thumb with satisfaction and said, "This is the most delicious barbecue I have ever tasted! It's delicious! I really didn't expect that Brother Lin also knows the esophagus!"
