Chapter 024: Centipede Feast

Baoling bow, flying general Li Guang's sharp weapon, has a unique shape, black as ink, the bow body is bright and connoisseurship, the arc is smooth, and it is very comfortable both visually and tentacles. On both sides of the upper and lower bow arms, two red and black rims that resemble blood-eyed eyes are clearly visible, even after hundreds of years of erosion, they are still clearly recognizable, looking like two bloody eyes, which makes people feel cold.

"Good bow!" Luo Tong was sincerely admired, and his face also showed joy. His first reaction was that the bow suited him perfectly.

"Can the 'Flying General's Treasure Spirit Bow be bad?"

Li Shimin introduced with a smile: "After General Fei, the Baoling Bow became the divine soldier of the Li Jiazhen clan, the bow body is said to be made of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, heavy and elastic is better than all kinds of iron and wood, the bowstring comes to the Western Regions Tianshan Ice Silk, full of strength, the two are one, and it becomes the Baoling Bow, which cannot be used by those who do not have the power of Qianjun, and it is not easy to pull it, but the divine bow is not trained, you can try it!" ”

If the bow is not used for a long time, it must be loosened and maintained, which is the same as that of a musical instrument. The Baoling Bow is a five-stone strong bow, and Li Shimin and the dead Li Yuanji can't open it, so it basically can't be seen or used.

The so-called bow training is to use the technique of adjusting the tightness of the bowstring and pulling the empty string, so that the bow that has been loose for too long can readjust to the tension and avoid damage to the bow body due to sudden loosening and tightening.

For ordinary bows, it is not difficult to find a bow trainer, but this Baoling bow is different, non-wrestlers are not enough to train bows, and now Li Shimin wants to see if Luo Tong can use it, and he has not summoned a wrestler-type bow maker in place.

Luo Tong smiled faintly: "Although the archery skills are not good. I still know a little bit about bow training. ”

Strange to say, generally speaking, bows and horses are skillful, and they often appear on various generals in history, and they are often used to describe the martial arts of others. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin both have invincible bravery, and their riding skills are also extremely outstanding, but archery skills are commonplace, which forced Luo Tong to learn arrows from Li Shimin, who has unparalleled archery skills!

I have to say that Lou Ban's face is really big enough, and this bow is very famous outside, but in the ancestral spirit, it is just a sacrificial vessel. Therefore, under the guidance of the priest, Ma Han and Lou Ban were able to enter the vault and see this legendary magic bow.

Since it has not yet been wound, the bow is about five feet (about 1.2 meters) long, and once wound, the bow shrinks and can be shortened to about one meter, which is the standard length of the bow.

Luo Tong took the bow in his hand and started to sink, which is estimated to be no less than eighty catties.

I asked the guards to come to this bow, the Tianshan Ice Silkworm String as thick as a thumb, pressing the bow arm with one hand and stringing it with the other.

Fang Xuanling said: "This bow is abnormally strong, and non-number wrestlers can't bend the winding, and the virtuous nephew ......."

Before the words fell, Luo Tong had hooked the bowstring on the bow arm and twisted the metal buckle tightened.

In the dumbfounded eyes of Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Princess Changle, Luo Tong had adjusted the bowstring repeatedly, and after sensing that the bow arm had adapted to the tension, he adjusted the string to the best tightness and began to gently pull the slow-moving training bow.

"It's almost okay, do you want to try it, Your Majesty?" Luo Tong handed the bow to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin happily took the bow and tried to pull the bowstring, but it didn't move. Li Shimin was shocked in his heart, he was a pragmatic person, he never did anything beyond his ability, so he didn't have a Baoling Bow outside of his ability. Today was the first time he had tried this five-stone strong bow, and as an expert archer, it was the first time he had encountered such a powerful bow. Gritting his teeth, he exerted all his strength, but he only pulled the strong bow to one-third and less than half, his arm was in a faint pain, and if he continued to pull it strongly, he would only hurt his muscles, and he gave up and released the bowstring.

"Boom!" The crisp bowstring trembled and vibrated in front of Li Shimin's cheeks, showing off its strength.

After resting, Li Shimin was angry, his feet were open, his arms were horizontal, shaped like holding the moon, and he pulled it slowly - the bowstring creaked, the bow arm gradually bent, and Li Shimin's face became more and more red, and finally even swelled into blood, and when the string stretched to half, Li Shimin finally couldn't stand it, suddenly loosened the string, saw sweat on his forehead, panted, and handed the bow to Luo Tong: "No, the five-stone strong bow, it really is not something I can use, the artifact has been dusty for hundreds of years, I hope you open it." ”

"I'll try!"

In the horrified eyes of everyone, Luo Tong stretched his bow hard, pulled it to the end, the bow was like a full moon, and then released the bowstring.

With a "bang", the bowstring vibrate.

"Good divine power!" Li Shimin looked at Luo Tong with a face that did not change in surprise, if he was well trained, Datang would add another peerless god general, a peerless god general with Huo Qu's age, comparable to Qin Qiong's martial arts.

Luo Tong sincerely loves this bow, plays left and right, and pulls the bow continuously, like a full moon every time, facing everyone's expressions of disbelief, but he puts on a bitter gourd face, shakes his hand and says: "I only pulled it more than fifty times, and my arm is sore, alas, this power is still a little smaller!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone almost fainted.

"Proud of what? It has nothing to do with good archery. Princess Changle rolled her eyes.

"That's it!" Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Whether archery is good or not depends on whether the archery is good or not."

"......" Li Shimin almost ran out of breath and turned his back, looked at the night outside the window, Li Shimin said: "I didn't know it was this time, someone came, ready to eat......"

"Wait...... I invite you to eat a delicious taste that has never been seen before! Luo Tong put down the bow and smiled wickedly.

"Do you eat chicken?" Princess Changle still remembers the rooster that Luo Tong let people bury!

"Please move to the Imperial Garden! Today, let you taste the delicacies of the world cooked by Luo Dacai and Luo Da Archer. ”

"Are you serious?" Li Shimin smiled impressively.

"Can you eat it?" Fang Xuanling's face was full of disbelief.

As the so-called gentleman cooks far away, killing chickens and ducks in the kitchen is not what civilized people should do. A true gentleman should be well-dressed, with a smile on his face, a book in his hand, and four books and five classics in his mouth, not a butcher's rough clothes and dirt, with a fierce light in his eyes, a knife in his hand, and a fat one in his mouth.

Luo Tong, as the youngest calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty and the son of a large family, wants to cook at this opening, which can make everyone thunder.

"Over the years, I have traveled all over the world, and have been to Jiangnan, Bashu, Saibei, Liaodong, and Snow Mountain...... Everywhere you go, you have to eat all the local food, and of course, it is better to start with your own food. ”

Princess Changle's charming eyes blinked and fascinated.

Li Shimin, who walked to the door, turned around and said: "Your mother and son are also strange people, the little ones are bold, and the big ones are also relieved." ”

"You can't learn real knowledge behind closed doors! Life is everywhere is learning, learning comes from life, higher than life! But if you are detached from life, you will be worthless. Luo Tong said with a smile: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books, and practice is the only criterion for testing the truth." My creed is that it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles. ”

"It is better to have a letter than to have no book"

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth"

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles!"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were completely shocked, he really couldn't imagine that Luo Tong had so many different opinions.

Although they have all read the book of sages, they are pragmatics, and their life experience is there, and they have a deeper understanding of Luo Tong's three sentences than Princess Changle. Although I was shocked by Luo Tong's retrograde ways, I felt a deep sense of identity at this moment.

Reading hard behind closed doors?

Can there be today's Datang and today's status?

The answer is clearly no!

However, hard work is right, but why continue to let your children study hard behind closed doors?

The students who study hard in Hongwen Hall are comparable to Luo Tong, who studied abroad?

No, not one?

Not to mention the students, even in the court, there are not many people with such knowledge.

Confucius traveled the world to study, and there were seventy-two sages under his door. Since then, the master has not stopped, and the teaching conditions are even better! But who has cultivated so many talents?

Could it be that closed-door education has always been wrong?

At this moment, the three top figures of Datang have deep doubts about the education method that Datang is currently implementing.

……

Imperial!

Luo Tong was anti-guest-oriented, and set up a pot to boil water on the stove that was boiling brightly. Then he ordered the guards to fetch the ten roosters.

Rotong laughed and lifted a rooster.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Princess Changle saw clearly under the lantern snowlight. I saw that the rooster was full of more than 100 big centipedes seven or eight inches long, red and black, with colorful patterns, all wriggling and moving.

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui have experienced life and death, so they are naturally not cowardly, but at this time, when they saw these many big centipedes in the ground, they couldn't help but be frightened and their scalps exploded! Princess Changle is even more unbearable.

Luo Tong smiled and said: "The centipede and the rooster are against each other, burying the rooster in the snow, and sure enough, all the centipedes in the four places are attracted!" I'm also worried that the centipedes won't come in time, and it seems that worrying is unnecessary! ”

In his previous life, he tried it in the snowy mountains according to the method in the novel, and it really attracted centipedes, he was delicious and unforgettable, but he had never tried it in his life! He also had a sudden idea just now, and he didn't have much hope, after all, this is the palace, and it is cleaned every day, where did the centipede come from, but as a result, he still got his wish.

The palace is huge!

Only one imperial garden is the size of a county town, and here are flowers and trees, and ponds, dark and damp, which is the habitat of centipedes.

Under the gaze of the creepy Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Princess Changle, Luo Tong pulled the centipede's tail and threw it into the pot one by one, adding up the centipedes on the ten roosters! It's full of pots.

The centipedes struggled for a while, and they all burned to death.

Luo Channel: "When the centipede is dying, it spits out all the venom and poisonous urine, so the water in this pot is definitely poisonous and cannot be touched." "Tell the guards to dispose of it.

Li Shimin was horrified and angry: "You also know that it is highly poisonous?" This thing can't eat the dead, huh? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the more poisonous things are, the more delicious they are, snakes, scorpions, and centipedes are not only delicious, but also great tonics, and eating too much has the effect of strengthening the body! Snakes, in particular, can prevent rheumatism when eaten, snake gall brightens the eyes, snake bone powder strengthens bones, snake skin is soft and tough, can make armor, and resist bows and arrows. ”

Luo Tong said while busy: "There will always be the first person to taste thousands of ingredients, if there was no first person, there would be no today's variety of food." Everyone's mood now is actually the same as the first person to eat fish, shrimp, and crabs. Crabs are not handled properly, and they are also highly poisonous, and now everyone is not eating well? What about eating snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and locusts? Thousands of years later, no one may know what credit I Luo Tong has made for the country, but the name of the first to eat snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and locusts must have been passed on. In the future, everyone will eat these delicacies, and maybe they will thank me as a pioneer. ”

Everyone was amazed, but think about it seriously! But I also feel that he is very reasonable!

There is always a first person in everything, a lot of poisonous things, don't you eat well now? Thinking about it this way, I am not so afraid of eating centipedes.

Everyone saw that Luo Tong cut off the head and tail of the centipede, and then gently pinched it, and the shell fell off in hand, revealing the meat, which was snow-white and transparent, like a prawn, which was very beautiful.

Everyone sighed: "I am afraid that I can really eat this kind of practice." ”

Luo Tong cooked it three more times! Wash the centipede meat, and then leave no venom, and then set up an oil disaster, pour a large pot of centipede meat down and fry it, and immediately a fragrance rushes to the end of the nose.

After the centipede was fried to a slight yellow, and the ingredients were mixed well, Luo Tong sandwiched one in the pot and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed.

Seeing that he really ate it, everyone was surprised and worried.

Seeing that everyone didn't stop, Luo Tong smiled and took a centipede rolled into a semicircle and put it in Princess Changle's bowl.

"For me?" Princess Changle asked with some disbelief, she didn't expect that Luo Tong would dare to make such an intimate move in front of so many people.

"Eat! Trust me, I won't hurt you. ”

The glittering gaze of the sincere words made Princess Changle shy for a while, and she thought to herself: "He has been working hard for so long, if he doesn't eat it, he won't be too sorry for his trust, and it's okay for him to eat it." Ignoring the others, with a heavy sense of trust, she carefully put the centipede that Luo Tong clipped to her and chewed it in her mouth. Only a bite will go down, but I feel full of delicious, crisp and fragrant, sweet and sweet, I have never tasted such a peculiar smell in my life, and after a few more bites, my beautiful eyes are instantly brilliant. swallowed a bone, and went to pick up the second one to eat, and praised it: "It's delicious, it's so delicious!" I've never eaten such delicious food. "I started to do it myself.

Luo Tong also ate by himself.

The two of you snatch me, and the big centipedes in the pot decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The first to react was Li Shimin, his daughter's demeanor, he was naturally very clear, and the posture of eating was quite elegant! Eat chopsticks after chopsticks, as if no one is around, and like a diligent gardener struggling to eradicate pests! There is no trace of ladylike demeanor!

It must have been because the centipede meat was very much to her liking, and looking at that expression, it didn't seem to be any kind of falsification at all.

With the attitude of trying it out, Li Shimin also grabbed a centipede and ate it in a big gulp. Not to mention that this was just the entrance, the strong taste impact made him a little addicted to it, so he also grabbed it with the two juniors without grace.

I have to say that watching others eat can often arouse their appetite, and with the attitude of trying it out, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also tentatively moved their chopsticks again.

This move is really out of control!

Soon, nearly a thousand large centipedes fell into the stomachs of five people!

Li Shimin stretched out his tongue to lick the juice in his mouth, wishing that there would be a thousand more centipedes. While shouting loudly: "I can't get enough of it! Can't get enough of it! ”

Fang Xuanling said with a satisfied face: "This kind of poison is so delicious, I have seen it for a long time!" I have seen it for a long time. ”

Luo Tong smiled: "Don't be afraid now!" ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Even centipedes are so delicious, I really don't know how delicious locusts and poisonous snakes are. Li Shimin looked yearning, as if he couldn't taste the poisonous insects in the world immediately!

"The venom of the viper is in the head, just peel it and cut it off! Centipedes are a bit more troublesome. As for locusts, they can be eaten whole, and bee pupae ......" Luo Tong introduced various ways to eat edible insects one by one.

After this "centipede" feast, everyone has already believed what Luo Tong said!

In addition to yearning, he was also shocked, in terms of eating, Luo informed that there were too many! It's amazing how much you have seen! Moreover, it is all about things that people are afraid of.
