Volume 1 Chapter 89: The Beggar Gang's "Feast"
Two more vermilion lacquer doors opened, and what greeted me was the existence of a ruined temple.
Xie Budong looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded.
Directly facing the door is a statue of an unknown god or Buddha, the ground is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Most of the windows were broken, one of them was half broken and hung in the air, and a gust of wind creaked and creaked.
There was no table in the room, only a cloth of indiscernible color was laid on the floor, and several straw futons were placed around it, some of which had been broken, revealing the thatch that had protruded from the inside.
"This ....." Xie Budong thought that he had seen the world after a hundred battles, but he didn't expect that the elders of the beggar gang, the real heads of the two major groups of Taiyue and Taihua, who were rich and rivaled the country, would actually invite themselves to dinner in such a place.
Hell, he had just seen a few rats in the corner of the wall having a meeting, and when everyone came in, they dispersed, and now the sound of them walking can still be heard overhead.
"Little junior brother, don't be surprised, this is the ancestral family motto, since my beggar disciples started with begging, then they can't forget their roots no matter what, so I help the middle and high-level to eat in this environment, and only by remembering the bitterness can we think sweet, and this kind of treatment is not enjoyed by others." Seeing Xie Budong's doubts, Chen Song explained.
It turns out that after a long time of contact with them, whether it is the luxurious dinner party of Hong Jun at the first sight, or the majestic building of the Juyi Hall, or even the magnificent decoration in the lobby of the restaurant, these have made Xie Budong ignore that he has come into contact with the beggars, and now he is in this "broken temple" Among them, he found the feeling of the beggar gang in the TV series, it seems that the gang leader who formulated this rule was quite prescient, no matter how rich the gang leaders and high-level leaders in the future were, only by often coming into contact with this environment, can they appreciate their own nature and not forget their roots.
"Everyone, sit down, junior brother sit down on my side. Hong Liang took the lead in sitting on the main seat, he patted on the futon next to him, and motioned for Xie Budong to come to his side.
There are a total of six people here, and there are exactly six futons, it should have been arranged in advance, a few people sat together, Hong Liang and Xing Shilong discussed the details of the beggar gang meeting in three days, and the other three Liang added in due course, Xie Budong couldn't interject, so he sat there and thought about his plan.
"Today is already the second day, and it is expected that tomorrow the people sent by Hong Liang will find that the so-called cheats fragment cannot be found at the address I gave, so tonight will be carried out anyway. Since the Five Elements Talisman is not easy to use, what method should be used to enter the Divine Machine Pavilion? Xie Budong quickly thought of a way in his mind, and one idea after another popped up, but he was rejected by himself.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and it turned out to be a service staff who came to serve the food.
"Little junior brother, this is the delicacy cooked by the top chef of my beggar gang, I also told you before, the beggar gang can't do anything else, but when it comes to food, I dare to admit that no one dares to call it the first in the next day. Hong Liang looked at the dishes placed on the cloth one by one, and proudly showed off to Xie Budong: "Come and try it, I dare to say that you will definitely regret and panic after eating it." ”
"Regret what?" Xie Budong was puzzled, if it was really so delicious, how could he regret and panic.
"I regret that I didn't come to the beggar gang sooner, and I panic that I will never be able to eat such a delicacy again. ”
After a while, the dishes were all ready, a total of eight hot and eight cold sixteen large sea bowls were pretended, and each bowl was covered with a lid, so that Xie Budong couldn't see through what kind of dishes were inside.
A service staff handed over hot towels, and after a few people wiped their hands, they opened the lid, and a burst of aroma came to their faces.
This rich aroma alone made Xie Budong's appetite increase, and he instantly forgot the simplicity of the deep environment, and looked into the bowl along the aroma, this first dish was dark brown with a few wisps of green leafy vegetables, as if the meat was burned and mixed with a handful of rotten leaves.
The second one is even more exciting, a bunch of unknown objects are boiled into a big bowl of soup, and even a few stubborn Xiaoqiang can be seen inside.
“。。。。。。 The appetite just now was extinguished in an instant, and at this moment Xie Budong felt not hungry at all, but a little sick to his stomach.
"Little junior brother, don't look at these dishes as bad, but the taste is absolutely unique in the world, let's start eating them. When the lid of the dishes was lifted one by one, Hong Liang took the lead in pulling out a chicken leg and stuffing it into his mouth and refused.
Wo Nima!!Say it's really hands-on, don't give a single chopstick.
Watching the elders reach out and grab the food from the bowl and stuff it into his mouth, Xie Budong felt a churn in his stomach.
He just saw that the man named Chen Song had just finished his nose and went to grab vegetables before he wiped his hands.
"Eat, little junior brother, you're welcome. ”
I'm polite, your brother-in-law, you're polite.
Xie Budong wanted to cry without tears, gritted his teeth and tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth, chewing it with his eyes closed.
"Huh?" the chicken enters the mouth, the rich aroma mixed with the soup explodes in the cavity, and the taste is really tender and delicious like never before.
Looking at the greasy half of the chicken leg in his hand, he quickly snatched two chicken feet and put them in front of him.
"That's the taste, take it back and give it to Paw Paw to eat, and keep her obedient to me in this life. ”
At this time, he couldn't estimate the dishes that were in bad condition, so he learned from a few elders to grab the food and stuff it into his mouth.
Sure enough, each of them is a delicacy in the world.
After the meal, the waiter brought hot tea and sake, which came in a broken bowl with grass roots floating inside, and the wine was filled with gourds, and the rich aroma could be smelled through the lid.
Xie Budong didn't like this kind of rice wine, but he still drank two large bowls before he put down the empty wine gourd.
After a full meal, a few people studied the business again, and after a meal exchange, Xie Budong also became much more familiar with the relationship with the elders.
"Little junior brother, I pondered it carefully, and I felt that I still couldn't take the position of this helper. Hong Liang looked at Xie Budong and said seriously: "Although the old gang leader has a life, but I am still young, I think that since you are a disciple of the gang leader, and you have unlimited potential, this position of gang leader should be done by you, and we will definitely do our best to assist." ”
"Ga?" Xie Budong almost choked when he heard this while drinking tea, and waved his hand again and again: "Brother Hong, you want to put me to death, not to mention that I have no contribution to the beggar gang, just to say that this kind of life is not what I want, brother, don't be joking." ”
Load, you can load. Xie Budong scolded this old fox in his heart, if I agree to be this gang leader, you will immediately have to call the big bowl in your hand in my face.
"Don't be humble anymore, this gang leader is none other than you. Xing Shilong said in a timely manner: "Now that the situation has been decided, the little junior brother has made great contributions to the beggar gang, I suggest that the junior brother be awarded the title of honorary elder at the conference in three days, as for the identity, how about a tentative eight-bag elder?"
"That's a good idea. Hong Liang didn't pretend to be humble anymore, he looked at Xie Budong and said: "In this case, the old brother is not welcome, you first name an eight-bag elder, the beggar gang is your home, when you want to come back, you are welcome at any time, and quietly tell you, you can only use this restaurant if you have more than eight bags, that is to say, when you want to eat good things, go back to the island to live for a few days." ”
After the discussion was settled, several elders took their leave, and at Xie Budong's insistence, he returned to the Prison Dragon Pavilion.
"I'm comfortable in the back room, and I don't want to change my bed. ”
The reason is very far-fetched, but this is exactly what Hong Liang wants to do and is embarrassed to do, since the "little junior brother" is so promoted, he reluctantly agreed by borrowing the donkey from the slope.
Returning to the Prison Dragon Pavilion, after closing the secret door, Hong Liang went back satisfied, leaving Xie Budong to ponder in the room.
The cell phone and belongings were returned to him, but none of the electronics were usable on the island, and he was given back with just one attitude: he was no longer a prisoner.
He put all the important items in the portable warehouse, and it doesn't matter if he still has it, after pretending to play a stand-alone game, he will go to bed at about nine o'clock thanks to Budong.
After the light on the wall went out, Xie Budong closed his eyes and thought about his plan of action.
In the afternoon, I knocked on the side and heard some news about the Shenji Pavilion, and he didn't ask much about this gang, but he "inadvertently" mentioned that he had heard the old gang leader talk about it, and asked curiously.
When Hong Liang was in a good mood, he didn't think much about it, and briefly introduced the Shenji Pavilion.
The so-called Shenji Pavilion was originally used to design and store the secret art of the mechanism, and later after arriving on the island, the boulder was excavated, and the Shenji Pavilion was built into an indestructible secret room.
The Shenji Pavilion is divided into three layers, each floor is guarded by a master, and the underground layer is an ordinary martial arts, which is in charge of the elder Sun Gang. The second basement floor is the method of some mechanism design and the control room, where the hub of the Shenji Pavilion controls the switch of the entire cabinet, which is in charge of Ying Tianliang Duan Ganxin, and the four Dharma Protector Elders take turns to be on duty.
The door of the third floor can only be opened by the gang leader, and after the gang leader disappears, the key is divided into three, which are respectively controlled by Hong Liang, Xing Shilong and Li Chao, and can only be opened when three people are present at the same time. The third layer is the broken cheats, and there are some gang treasures.
Although the Shenji Pavilion does not have the blessing of the formation, but because the boulder itself is not a thing of this world, it naturally shields most of the magic shields, forty years ago, when those mysterious people attacked, the Shenji Pavilion has not been transformed, they used similar hypnotism to control the guards, and they easily opened the door of the pavilion, after this incident, the guards changed to the key to be kept by the elders, and the strategy of changing every day, and now there is almost no other way to enter except for the strong attack.
However, from the conversation, Xie Budong thought of a good way.
Since it's not from this world, I can use it to solve puzzles.
