Chapter 17: Leaving Beiling
The first dish is naturally "Buddha jumping over the wall", using wine and fruit wine instead of Shaoxing wine, and the simmered "Buddha jumping over the wall" should be more delicious. In addition, make a meat, a vegetarian and two Chinese famous dishes, and add a dessert "three non-sticky" that is popular in the palace. Ah Umbrella is very confident in his menu.
Time flies, the city center is filled with the aroma of food, and as the moon rises, the atmosphere begins to intensify.
"Whew-"
The bell rings to indicate that the judges are seated, and the final judging has officially begun.
Ah Umbrella's heart trembled, stopped plating, and looked at the judges' seat, but because it was too far away, the night was misty, and it was not real. He shook his head, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued the movements in his hands.
When the little guy came to the stage of Ah Umbrella, he was obviously stunned when he saw the three children, but the dishes on the table really told him that this was the finalist.
After the dishes were served, Ah Umbrella was a little nervous, hoping that these dishes would leave a good impression in the immortal cultivator's heart.
"Does Ah Umbrella want to cultivate immortals?" Nan Leyang asked suddenly. Jin Ling, who was eating on the side, glanced at the two of them when she heard this, and continued to bury her head in eating.
Ah Umbrella looked straight into Nan Leyang's eyes, those eyes were very clear, so that she could see herself clearly, and she heard herself say, "Yes, I want to cultivate immortals." ”
Nan Leyang bent his eyes and smiled, Ah Umbrella couldn't see himself for a while, and came back to his senses. Nan Leyang stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her hair, and said, "Then Ah Umbrella should keep a cheerful heart." ”
Ah Umbrella didn't know why Nan Leyang said this, and wanted to ask, but felt that he wouldn't tell her, so he glanced at Nan Leyang seriously and said, "I will." ”
On the judging platform, everyone loved the Buddha jumping over the wall made by Ah Umbrella, and Qin Jiu on the side also tasted it and praised it again and again.
"Your apprentice did this?" The middle-aged man beside Qin Jiu asked.
Qin Jiu replied respectfully: "Yes." After hesitating for a while, he spoke, "Do you want to see her?" ”
The man squinted, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, looking like he was enjoying it. He also really wanted to meet Qin Jiu, a new apprentice.
When Ah Umbrella learned that the immortal cultivator wanted to meet her, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about knowing the result of the game, so he took the two children and ran towards the Golden Mansion.
On the judging platform, it was naturally Ding Qi who had a bad complexion, although he did not provide good wine and fruit to Jufu Restaurant at this wine and fruit meeting, but the first place was picked by Qin Jiu's apprentice, and the second and third places were also dishes from Jufu Restaurant. Juyuan not only failed to win the championship, but also failed to hold the top three, Ding Qi saw that the desire to make the Ding Mansion become the City Lord's Mansion was three points away, and his eyes were so angry that his eyes darkened.
"You want to cultivate immortals?"
"Yes." Ah Umbrella didn't want to beat around the bush, and when he saw the immortal cultivator, he made it clear, "I can cook a lot of food for you, no matter what taste or variety." ”
Rong Cheng was happy when he heard it, this child was very well-behaved and cute, and Jin Ling on the side was also looking at him nervously, for fear that he would refuse an umbrella, and he was helpless, but this girl refused him without hesitation.
"Why do you want to cultivate immortals?" Eternal life? Boundless mana?
"I want to see Wonderland." Ah Umbrella said truthfully.
was different from the envisioned answer, not only Rong Cheng was stunned, but Qin Jiu and Jin Ling on the side were also stunned.
"But—" Rong Cheng paused and said, "You're ten years old, too old." ”
Ga-
Ah Umbrella's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he heard, he said he was too old?
Rong Cheng was not wrong, generally the sect will not recruit new disciples more than eight years old, and most of them are five or six years old. Immortal cultivators have just started to cultivate, the sooner they build the foundation, the better, and the foundation building is to forge the foundation of the body, and the closer the body is to forming, the more difficult it is to re-forge.
However, the so-called foundation building is not only the foundation of the body, but also the foundation of the Great Dao, and different understandings of the Great Dao will lead to different foundations, and the foundation building is the foundation of the Dao. Attributes and perception of the body are more important than age.
Ah Umbrella has no choice in her heart, she can't find a five-year-old child to wear it, right? After thinking about it, he said with a bitter face: "Then can I just be your cook, and the reward is that you take me to see the fairyland." ”
Rong Cheng smiled, this little guy was really persistent, and Qin Jiu told him that Ah Umbrella had no father or mother, and he was alone, and after a conversation, he also had the intention of taking it away. This time I didn't go out with a spirit plate, after I went back, this little guy has no spiritual root, and it is not impossible to stay and make food, if you measure that this little guy has a spiritual root, then accept it as an apprentice, anyway, in this life, he has no hope of returning to the master, and their department, always have to continue to pass on.
On the second day, with Rong Cheng leaving, in addition to Ah Umbrella and Jin Ling. Nan Leyang was still smiling, and waved goodbye to the two in a dashing manner.
Ah Umbrella knew Jin Ling's thoughts, but he was afraid that he still didn't want to drag down his family because of his weakness, and he also had the idea of cultivating immortals, so he insisted on following him.
"Hold on."
Rong Cheng instructed the two little guys who were holding their clothes tightly, and the turquoise boat under his feet became larger, and he casually clothed a transparent protective cover, and moved away from the ground in the blink of an eye.
"Ahh
Jin Ling was so frightened that she clung to Rong Cheng's clothes, buried her face in her clothes, and didn't dare to look at anything. Ah Umbrella was full of interest, looking around, the speed of the flight was not very fast, and he was probably worried about them. Different from the feeling of taking a plane, this feeling of being surrounded by space and swimming in the sky made Ah Yu excited, if it weren't for Jin Ling's presence, she would definitely let Rong Cheng flip back and forth a few 360 degrees.
After about three hours of flight, Rong Cheng entered a valley and landed.
As soon as Jin Ling landed, she found a place to vomit, and Ah Umbrella patted her on the back while looking around-
It's a beautiful view, a beauty that is rare and uninhabited. Raising his eyes to look at the towering and treacherous peaks around him, Ah Yu had to admit that only immortal cultivators could enter this valley so easily.
The cave where Rong Cheng lived was very simple, with only a stone bed for meditation and sleeping, and a few small cloth bags piled up at the foot of the bed.
"Let me see, where did I put the Ouidian?" Rong Cheng picked up the cloth bag, but did not open it. Ah Umbrella thought that this should be the so-called storage bag.
"Found it!"
A stone compass suddenly appeared in Rong Cheng's hand, Jin Ling saw it, ran forward in surprise, stretched out his hand, and said: "That's it, I measured it when I was a child, that's it, put your hand on it, don't think about anything in your heart, let it go"
Ah Umbrella saw a white light coming out of the compass, and at the same time felt a chill all over his body.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Rong Cheng's eyes lit up, and a jade slip appeared out of thin air in his hand, as if he was reading the contents of the jade slip. Jin Ling withdrew her hand at this moment, and the coldness that surrounded her disappeared.
"Sister Umbrella, isn't it amazing." Jin Ling took Ah Umbrella's arm and said, she didn't seem to feel the coldness just now, Ah Umbrella shook her body, drove away the cold, and said, "Ling'er must be very powerful." ”
And on that side, Rong Cheng's expression changed from surprise to ecstasy and then to regret, which was wonderful for a while.
