As early as more than a month ago, I stood on the top of the red mountain and observed that in the direction of your ancestral hall, there was a very mysterious and obscene demonic aura rising from mid-air, combined with what has happened in recent times, I expect that the demons and monsters are not good for the people in your clan.

Wan Jiaojiao next to her was overshadowed when she heard this, and nervously grabbed Chen Xu's wrist and said, "Brother Xu, I believe this gentleman's words, now that the matter is so serious, what should we do." ”

A trace of tears fell from Chen Xu's eyelids, and he said to the earth master very reverently: "The ancients said that saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, since Mr. is a master, see through the mystery here, why don't you go with me to the ancestral hall of my clan, just catch ghosts and catch demons, if you can overcome this catastrophe of my clan, you are the great benefactor of my clan." ”

"No, no, young man, I tell you the mystery of this, I have already violated the canons of my Sichuan Kuangshan Situation School, and I can't go with you this time."

"Why, sir, you are a clever Taoist priest, do you want to see death and not save it, I have beaten the people in the clan and there are more than a dozen elders who have died so far, if this continues, what will my clan do." Chen Xu gently took Wan Jiaojiao's hand and slowly knelt down. ”

The earth master lowered his head, sighed helplessly, and said: "It's not that I don't want to save the people in your big clan, it's really that I don't want to save the people in your big clan, it's really my heart and my strength is insufficient, as the saying goes, interlaced like a mountain, I'm just a earth master, helping people find a feng shui cemetery, I will only hold Luo Geng, look at the terrain direction, how can I have any ability to drive away evil incense and subdue demons, I just followed you to the ancestral hall of your big clan and found some ghosts, and I couldn't subdue them for a short time, so I could only take the lives of a few of us in vain." ”

Wan Jiaojiao panicked, and said with tears: "Then what can you do If you tell the truth, there are really any evil spirits in the ancestral hall, and if there are any masters to help, is it that our big clan will suffer from this?" ”

"I can't say that, my country has a vast territory, and there are countless masters hidden in the famous cave mansion, driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters, and there are many people who invite immortals to subdue demons, but there are also famous ghost hunting sects in the mortal world, such as the eighteen virgins who worship the Seven Immortals in Fengmen Mountain in Xiangxi Region, the red-clothed horn in the Potala Palace of Western food, the four white-eyed old men in Feixiong Mountain on Changbai Mountain, and the great Master Weihong in Tianmen Temple on Kunming Lake in Yunnan, as long as these people can make a move, they are sure that any demons and monsters will be wiped out in an instant."

"God, although these are masters, but the holy land they live in is thousands of miles away from here, even if we can invite these worldly masters, as soon as the time is delayed, I think the clansmen of our big clan will know what happened by then."

The earth master stroked his beard under his chin and said: "Listen to me, in Shandong Province, there is a famous mountain for Laoshan Mountain, which is also known as Ao Mountain, Prison Mountain, it is on the coast of the Yellow Sea, tall and majestic, and has the name of "the first mountain" on the sea, there is a profound Taoist on the mountain, good at taking demons and killing immortals, fighting ghosts and killing spirits, but he usually likes to stay in the same place with beggars, madmen, tuberculosis and starvation, and this person is crazy and crazy, advocating plainness, is the real real person is not dewy, so people think he is a madman, My senior brother had seen him in front of the Taishan Daizong Temple, and knew his whereabouts, so he told me that this is a real master, and I heard that he has traveled to our county recently. ”

Chen Xu said: "Since this is the case, then I will find him out no matter what, and save the fate of my entire family."

The earth master said: "This guy I must tell you, this worldly master has a very strange temper, always likes to pretend to be crazy and stupid, if he doesn't like the person, no matter what kind of conditions the other party offers, he will ignore it, and this person is erratic, often a dragon sees the head and the tail, although the personality characteristics are very obvious, but it is deeply hidden. ”

Wan Jiaojiao patted Chen Xu's hand and said, "Since it is a major event related to the rise and fall of the great clan, I believe that my brother Xu will rise to the occasion no matter what difficulties he faces." ”

The earth master put his arm on Chen Xu's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, young man, there are demons and Buddhas in the world, I believe that in case of difficulties, as long as you have a heart, there will always be nobles to help, we have a saying in this sect that says very well, "God helps people help themselves", I will give it to you." ”

Before leaving, the earth master also turned around and said to Chen Xu: "If, as I expected, there are evil spirits and evil ghosts in the ancestral hall of your big clan, which is not good for the people in your big clan, then you have to find this worldly master as soon as possible, otherwise the relatives in your big clan are likely to be in danger at all times." ”

Chen Xu walked over with gratitude in his heart, took a handful of sand and pulled a piece of grass from the ground, lowered his head reverently, and gave it to the earth master.

In Pu'an County, this kind of ritual is quite sincere and meaningful, since a bitter bard in the Middle Ages Meng Jiao chanted "who plays an inch of grass heart, repay three Chunhui" gradually due to the subtlety, go out to march or win fame before leaving home, will hold sand and grass at the door, in front of parents and relatives is the wanderer's nurturing feelings dare not be ungrateful, and later someone in front of the teacher or benefactor to show this ritual, Now that Chen Xu is doing this, he is grateful for the help of this earth master, which is the meaning of his benefactor.

The earth master also sincerely put his hands together in his eyes, and made a scattered flower gesture in front of Chen Xu and Wan Jiaojiao's bodies, hoping that they could get good luck, stay away from disasters and evils, and be full of joy along the way.

Chen Xu couldn't find this Taoist priest of Laoshan for several days, there was some drizzle rain in the sky on this day, Chen Xu was on the way back from Xilin Village, taking shelter from the rain on the double champion pavilion, originally he thought that he would wait until the rain was clear, looking at the cannonball clouds in the sky, at least wait for a morning, because the elders in Pu'an County said that "the cannonball clouds in the sky, the rain on the ground does not stop" but the strange thing is that before a stick of incense, the black clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sun's rays shone on the earth, and it had just rained, The grass on the ground absorbed more oxygen ions and water, and grew more and more lush and verdant, and the little orioles and chickadees and pearl birds on the branches all cried in pairs, and a few shepherds on the road rushed to the fields with their whips and songs.

Chen Xu walked out of the pavilion, couldn't help but stretch his waist, yawned a few times, but a human-powered bicycle drove on the opposite side, and shouted in a voice, "Brother Xu, I'm here, I'm Wan Jiaojiao, you left me like this, didn't we say that we would go to find someone together." ”

In fact, Chen Xu didn't want to bring blessings, the key is that in the past few days, Chen Xu has walked more than a dozen towns in Pu'an County, Qilin Town, Chigang Town, Mingfeng Town, Shuigou Town, walking through ------------,the streets and alleys, crossing the mountains and rivers, the whole person feels that his legs are filled with mercury, and he can't walk anymore, Chen Xu is afraid that Wan Jiaojiao will not be able to bear it.

But Wan Jiaojiao still came, Chen Xu beckoned, let the rickshaw driver stop, and also got into the car together, Wan Jiaojiao said: "Brother Xu, why don't you take me, do I want to go with you." ”

"How dare I take you, you see that you even came to me, if you go with me to the surrounding towns and eight towns, I don't know what will happen, I don't have the strength to carry you on my back."

"Brother Xu, you villain, make fun of me, as long as I can be with you, it is to go north to Hengshan, west to Kunlun, cross the Chishui River, cross the Yangtze River, I am not tired, hum, if you don't believe it, you can get out of the car with me, and we will look for it together."

In fact, Chen Xu doesn't like to sit on this rickshaw, because he sees that the driver wants to be like Wu Niu gasping for the moon, shushing while walking, and taking into account the feelings of the employer, he will think of the words of Wang Anshi, a medieval sage and famous reformer in the "History of the Song Dynasty", "The scholar seeks benevolence and righteousness, and does not dare to replace the horse alone", Chen Xu had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, he told Wan Jiaojiao his thoughts, Wan Jiaojiao also nodded in agreement, and the two paid more money to give the rickshaw driver and got out of the car.

Wan Jiaojiao stood on the side of the road, took Chen Xu's hand and said, "Brother Xu, where are we going now, do you want to go to Tong Keng Village to find out, maybe which Laoshan Daoist is really there." ”

"It won't be so coincidental, there are eighteen towns in Pu'an County, and the old Taoist is in our neighboring town, hey, I see, Wan Jiaojiao, let's find a place, let's fight the tooth sacrifice first, I'm hungry now."

"Well, Brother Xu, you haven't eaten the meat pies, leek cakes and ginger candy I made before, but I haven't gone out to eat anything in the town with you, I've long heard a saying in our village, "If you want to eat snacks and go to Hongyang Town, the soup is first-class in Beizhen" Okay, today I will follow my Brother Xu to see and see. ”

"If you want to eat snacks to Hongyang Town, the soup is first-class in Beizhen" This sentence is good, although it is remote, but only this place, but there are still many people here to take care of, Chen Xu was a child, often with the neighbor's Afu and the young people of the big clan came here to eat snacks, the snacks here are the first, many outsiders first think of this Pu'an County is a very famous snack in the county.

Wan Jiaojiao is the first time to come here, the reason is that she is a woman, when she was a child, there were no relatives or neighbors to bring her here, because the first one should pay attention to her safety, and the second is still a considerable distance from Hongshan Township, people have said that "women's bodies are made of water, and the heels are usually not enough follow-up force" This is actually discrimination against women, because in the Song and Yuan dynasties, there was a "foot wrapping" in the folk market, which is the so-called woman with a pair of small golden lotus, and a large vat of tears behind her, And then it caused the woman's mobility to be inconvenient, which bred men to have such thoughts about women.

It can be said that Wan Jiaojiao almost didn't see any women in this alley alley during the journey this time, and the mood at this time was still a little uneasy, and people cast strange glances at Wan Jiaojiao in front of Chen Xu.

The two entered the entrance of the vegetable market at the north gate, and at a glance, they saw a stall on the gate of the two stone lions squatting on the opposite side, and several huge pig intestines were placed on the stall, and several helpers around the boss were stirring boiling water in the pot with a cane, and a pot was steaming with thick water vapor, and there was a burst of the fragrance of glutinous rice balls, and one of them scooped up the glutinous rice balls and put them on a plate with a big wide mouth.

Seeing this, Wan Jiaojiao couldn't help but be asked: "Brother Xu, what are these people going to do, how do they blend all these glutinous rice into balls and put them on the plate." ”

"Wan Jiaojiao, don't say it yet, you also want to look more carefully, see how people make classic and excellent food in just a few words, after you have seen it, if you can often eat such food as you make in the future, then I am satisfied."

At the stall, the young man took a plate, with condiments, and mixed the shiitake mushrooms bought from the Zhenhai market, as well as fresh shrimp, dried ginger slices, sweet and sour, garlic slices and small meatballs chopped into thin slices from the mixed fragrance department store in Dongmen City, and the fresh orange meat was poured into the glutinous rice balls on the plate and carefully mixed over and over again, and then poured into the pig's large intestine.

Wan Jiaojiao likes cleanliness and hygiene, and pays attention to food without fiber dust, at this time she actually felt a little nauseous, covered her nose and said: "Brother Chen Xu, what are they doing here, how dirty it must be to pour such a good condiment into the pig's large intestine." ”

"Wan Jiaojiao, you think about it a lot, don't you, you see that the skin of the pig's large intestine on these desks is fresh and tender, shiny and golden, and even the small lines can be seen clearly, how clean it is, these pig intestines are washed over and over again with alkaline water, which is definitely meticulous and hygienic."

At that time, far away in the Nanyang region, there was a pair of patriotic brothers in the Nanhai Bay Zhuluoqu area to establish a well-known overseas alkali company, the original products produced can be used as a kind of clean food materials, not only can be pickled meat products can also eliminate stains, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone, spread to the Chinese region, immediately welcomed by the people, to this Pu'an County, it is called "white cake medicine", in the production of pig intestine these delicacies come in full use, clean and hygienic.

Although Wan Jiaojiao was at first shy at the famous snack "Pork Intestine Glutinous Rice Balls" in Hongyang Town, when she saw the guy bringing the soup that could be stirred to the table, she saw that the golden soup was thick and sticky, and the aroma could be smelled within 100 feet, and the rich taste lingered on the tip of people's tongues and noses.

Wan Jiaojiao's eyes also lit up at this, and she pulled Chen Xu's shirt and asked, "Brother Xu, look at it, why does this dish of pork intestine distended glutinous rice balls seem to have no appetite, but why is the soup in front of you so tempting." ”

"Wan Jiaojiao, you don't understand this, in fact, this pig intestine swollen glutinous rice is the same as stinky tofu, but stinky tofu smells more smelly, which makes people dare not compliment, and this pig intestine swollen glutinous rice balls look ugly, but if these two are eaten, not only do they not stink, but the taste is very good, full of delicious snacks, rich in local characteristics"

"Brother Xu, look where you are talking about, I mean to ask you what soup is made of pork intestine glutinous rice balls."

"Hehe, these soups have a great origin, Wan Jiaojiao, you don't believe that these soups are made of lychee pounded juice and added with the honey of the appropriate king bee, this lychee variety must also be limited, it must be. Big cloves, eight treasures, coke kernel lychee, water essence ball because these varieties are characterized by large particles, fleshy feet, small nucleus, juicy water, this honey is also to be particular, must be the king bee, thinking that they specialize in picking the stamens of figs, which can keep the color of the soup pointed out golden, translucent and crystalline, usually when we eat this kind of snacks, the price of the soup is more expensive than the snacks. ”

"Brother Xu, you are really amazing, even this understands, sometimes I really think that you know geography from heaven to heaven, you know everything, and you can actually understand the soup of the small pig intestine glutinous rice balls in such detail, I have only heard that lychee is a good fruit in Lingnan, it is not easy to pick, it is even more difficult to preserve, it is inherent in one day and the fragrance changes, two days and the color changes, and three days and the taste changes, but it can be made into soup, and it can be regarded as a year-round Lingnan fruit, which is really good."

Chen Xu looked at Wan Jiaojiao and knew that the gluttonous worm in her stomach was scratching her belly, she was a little disgusted with this delicious snack just now, but after listening to her introduction, the five internal organs in Wan Jiaojiao's stomach began to move, so Chen Xu said to the store: "Boss, we are hungry, give us two plates of glutinous rice balls with swollen pig intestines." ”

A few young men said: "Guest officer, you are really sharp-eyed, if you come a little late, even if you are afraid that you will not be able to eat it, if this thing is put on the court, there will be a big family immediately, and the businessman will buy it." ”

Chen Xu and Wan Jiaojiao sat in front of the table, the guy scooped up a string of pig intestines swollen glutinous rice balls in the pot, Chen Xu only saw that his throat knotted up and down, Wan Jiaojiao's thumb was spinning, the boss put the pig intestines on the backing board, raised a Yunnan iron knife, sonorous a few times, skillful, sharp blades, and suddenly spread the plate with pig intestines, which were blooming golden at a glance, and the pieces were like gold and jade, which whetted people's appetites.

The guy delivered the delicious snacks to the eyes of the two of them, Chen Xu said to Wan Jiaojiao, "You are hungry, eat over there" Chen Xu put the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of pig intestines and sent it to Wan Jiaojiao, Wan Jiaojiao smiled and smiled, scooped a little golden soup with a spoon and put it on it, put it in the mouth and tasted it slowly, only to see that the mouth was full of fragrance, and the teeth were going to feel very tender on the pig intestines, and the glutinous rice balls in it immediately became a stream of aroma, and this soup was even more extraordinaryIt made the teeth just dip, the cheeks of the mouth immediately became sweet, the delicious fruit and the unique aroma of glutinous rice were blended together, it was so incredible, it was so delicious that it was difficult to describe in words, the food had just been swallowed into the throat, and the rich aroma immediately spread to the internal organs in the abdomen.

Looking at Wan Jiaojiao closing her eyes and chewing slowly to enjoy it, Chen Xu said: "Wan Jiaojiao, this Hongyang's food is good, I promise you will come here to eat in the future, the stall owner said that they are doing business here, and the return rate of customers is 90%, this is not a lie." ”

Chen Xu put a small plate of soup on the lower right side of the table in front of him, and picked up a piece of pig intestines just about to be imported, but at this time, a ragged and white-haired crazy man ran out from the south gate of the store only ten meters away, and quickly walked in front of Chen Xu's eyes, and took away a plate of food in front of Chen Xu's eyes with two free hands.

Chen Xu's delicious meal that was about to reach his mouth was so startled because of what he had just now, it was all on the ground, stained with some small sand particles and soil ash, and suddenly the saliva that came out of Chen Xu's cheeks was about to flow out.

"Fuck it, it's such a madman again, and he's here to make trouble, if he hadn't gone fast, I wouldn't have spared him today, it's really infuriating, I came yesterday, I came today, how can I do business in the long run, what a stinky madman" The stall owner scolded fiercely.

Chen Xu stood up immediately, "Crazy, boss, what are you talking about, who are crazy." ”

"Hehe, young man, I'm not scolding you, but scolding someone just now, disturbing you to use our special food here first, it's really not interesting, I'll ask the young man to bring you another plate, no money, I should give it to the two guest officers to enjoy."

"Brother Xu, what's wrong, what's going on?"

"It's okay, Sister Kai, do you remember what the earth master told us, isn't that Laoshan Taoist who has a high degree of Taoism just likes to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and swagger through the market, when I was shopping here before, I never met when there was a crazy person here, and it was this person who Xing Di Shi told us about."

"Ah, since that's the case, then let's chase it quickly, hurry up" Wan Jiaojiao took out a silver ingot from her pants and threw it to the stall owner, and immediately ran away from Ba Kai's legs.

And this Taoist who snatched a plate of pork intestine swollen glutinous rice balls in front of Chen Xu just walked forward, looking behind him from time to time, and saw that no one came to chase him, so he was relieved, took out a plate of delicacies hidden in the wide sleeves, and used his hands to grab a piece of delicacies like Tibetans on the northwest prairie to grab mutton, and grabbed a piece of delicacies and swallowed it in his stomach, but before he could fully enjoy this piece of delicacies, a voice came from behind, "Crazy, stop for me, stop, I have something to tell you. ”
