Chapter 43: Kunxu Secret Realm
To endure humiliation and bear the burden, we must face all the injustices in the world with a peaceful heart, as long as a person has hopes, then he cannot do what he wants.
'You can't have both fish and bear's paws' is an eternal truth, even if you are an emperor.
Lu Fan did everything well and waited for people's 'tasting', and the county lord said instead of everyone's doubts: "The black-backed turtle is also among the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and this blood eel is also an extremely rare water treasure, but these clams and scallops, these things can also be eaten?"
Lu Fan knew that it was a bit difficult for this group of 'gentlemen' with unusual identities to accept, so he had to say: "The method of making dishes mostly comes from the people, and many palace dishes also come from. It's like stinky tofu, although many people look down on it, but it is hidden in the house..."
They couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard it, but it smelled so good, maybe they ate too much of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and occasionally changed their tastes to eat, but they felt that they were delicious.
They each tasted it, the taste was refreshing and fresh but not greasy, and after a while, they ate it, and Lu Fan took out the little rice wine left, as for whether he was willing to drink or not, it was not his own business.
At this time, after the feathered wolf ate the snake gall, it bit Lu Fan's 'gray and white' clothes, Lu Fan couldn't help it's 'wagging its tail and begging for mercy', cut the peeled snake meat into slices and pieces, put the stone slab on the fire, and then forced out the innate true fire, and after a while, the stone slab was already roasted red, and the stone slab was poured with a layer of catalpa sesame oil, and the snake meat was put on the stone slab. Puffs of white smoke came out.
Sprinkle cumin powder, pepper, black horn powder, scallion oil, layer by layer, bursts of rich fragrance, spread with the wind.
Before it was completely cooked, the feathered wolf grilled the snake meat with its claws, picked the snake meat from the stone slab, and tasted it carefully, and the county lord looked at it in surprise, knowing that the county lord knew how to be picky with the wolf.
The county lord snatched the last few pieces directly from Lu Fan's stone slab, and it tasted good
Lu Fan was shocked, this snake meat is not something that ordinary people dare to eat, even ordinary people, and some timid people don't dare to eat that snake meat.
"I didn't expect that you have two ideas, why don't you go to my house and be a cook..." The county lord Kukuku suggested.
Let a congenital master be a cook for himself, and even the king of the Great Shang Empire does not have this kind of treatment in the whole world, and it is also a loss for the county lord to speak.
"County Lord, if you want to eat anything in the future, let people tell me, as long as I will, I will definitely do it for you. But that's all about this cook..." Lu Fan awkwardly declined the county lord's 'kindness'.
The fourth prince saw that everyone had nothing to say for a while, and saw that Lu Fan was embarrassed and at a loss, so he said deliberately: "Now that the Great Shang Empire is in an eventful season, and the country is in need of talents, why doesn't the viscount serve the country?"
The Second Emperor Prince looked at the Fourth Prince in surprise, how could he ask such a stupid question.
The Ten Princes were clearly not very interested in this topic
Princess Hesu seemed to be waiting for Lu Fan's answer.
You must know that this group of people is not ordinary people, Lu Fan had to be careful to say: "The empire is full of talents, and all the capable people in the world serve the empire, and a warrior like me really can't contribute anything to the empire during the empire's prosperity and peace..."
"Is the empire peaceful?" the fourth prince looked up and sighed
"Although the empire is now building walls in the north to defend against the barbarians, and the west is frequently used with troops, and there are beasts raging, the peaceful atmosphere of the world gathers in the heavenly city, and the good soldiers will be on the frontier. The rewards and punishments above the court are clear, the pro-virtuous ministers are far from traitors, they are widely open, they adopt loyalty, and the world is subdued. Isn't it the prosperous dynasty?" Lu Fan told what he had heard and guessed together, and slapped a sycophant.
"You know a lot, and it seems that you also have a loyal heart to serve the country," said the fourth prince, glancing at the second prince.
"As long as you have the heart to serve the country, although you are not willing to do so for the time being, you can't feel sorry for yourself, you can't be ambitious, everything has to come step by step, and someone will see your ability in the future, and you will definitely have the opportunity to serve the empire. The second prince said high-sounding words seriously.
Lu Fan looked at a group of noble princes who didn't seem to be friendly to him, so he got up and said goodbye to the county lord and princess, and at the moment he got up, he inadvertently saw that the jade belt around the waist of the ten princes was embroidered with the sun, moon and golden dragon patterns.
Back in the tent, Lu Fan was lying on the ground with the feathered wolf in his arms, rubbing the 'wolf's head while thinking about what he had just seen, Lu Fan had heard in the teahouse in the imperial capital that the emperor was wearing a dragon robe and stepping on the sun, moon and stars.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, the four-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the jade belt, and the sun, moon and stars engraved on the jade belt hook, so young, could it be the prince...
Outside the tent, the princess and the county lord had already returned to the tent, leaving only Nalan and a few princes, who were about to return to the tent, when the fourth prince suddenly said, "What does the royal brother think of him?"
The second prince shook his head: "He's better a cook!"
After speaking, the second prince went straight back to the camp, and the tenth prince also chased after him quickly, muttering: "The dishes made by the master really taste different..."
"It's a pity that such a talent can't serve the Empire," Nalan said pitifully
The fourth prince nodded but shook his head slightly, and then did not speak again, and went straight back to the camp.
"Hey, the emperor's family, the hero's mound..." I don't know what Nalan muttered and went back to the camp
Kunxu Secret Land
It is another world, it has many other famous secret realms, there are countless entrances to the mortal world, but there are not many safe passages, all of them are in the hands of the major cultivation realm forces, Dao cultivation, Buddha cultivation, tantra, corpse cultivation, Gu cultivation, spiritual cultivation, demon cultivation, or good or evil.
Nowadays, the major forces are gathered in the East China Sea of the Great Shang Empire, entrenched on various coral islands and reefs, but there is a small island in the center of it that has no cultivators.
There is a herringbone island on the outskirts of the island, on both sides of the herringbone island, but there are two completely different sects of cultivation, one is the Imperial Sword Sect in Taoist cultivation, and the disciple brother of the disciple is flying with the sword, free and uninhibited, and takes 'eliminating demons and heaven and earth' as his own responsibility.
The other corner is the spiritual cultivation of the Imperial Spirit Gate, dedicated to the pursuit of the natural way between heaven and earth, known as the ability to enslave all spirits in the world, without the concept of good and evil.
On the side of the herringbone head, it is the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses in the corpse cultivation, which is known as covering all the corpses in the world, and the corpses are dissected into immortals.
The situation on the island of herringbone today is similar in many ways.
can make the sect let go of good and evil, and the only thing that the sect sees is the mystery of feathering into immortals.
From the last one to become an immortal, it is rumored to have been 100,000 years since then.
Becoming an immortal has become an unattainable dream, the dream of the entire cultivation realm, for this dream, countless talents in the cultivation realm, countless generations of leaders of various factions have worked hard to pursue it, and they will spend their whole lives.
There are even countless people who have proposed, 'There are no true immortals in the world', but in the end they denied it, once the cultivator has no pursuit, it will disrupt the world.
For countless years, people who have cultivated the truth have been pursuing and working hard for that ethereal dream, but no one has been able to realize it.
