280 The sword is as usual

Since Master was tricked by me to put him at the bottom of the box, I can't just let him go so easily!

For most of the following month, I stayed in Nanting, pestering him every day to teach me how to fry yin food. It's a pity that there are too few ingredients that can be found in the yang world, and most of what the master taught me is still theoretical knowledge, and the actual operation can only be done when I go back to the Yin City to collect all the ingredients.

Master said, "Ghost meals are fried for ghosts. Ghosts are extremely yin things, so the more yin the ghost meal is fried, the more yin they love to eat. But Yin cultivation is different, after all, it is still a living person, and we have to find a balance between yin and yang in order to be suitable for our consumption. Because of this, the fried yin meal is very particular about the choice of ingredients, the cooking method used is also a secret technique, and the kitchen utensils required must also be special! ”

"So many requests?" I was tongue-stricken.

"Come on! Haven't you always wanted to know what treasures are in the big box under my bed? As he spoke, Master pulled out the large box from under the bed.

That's right, I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time!

Master opened the box, took out the partition, and took out a kitchen knife, an iron pot, a spatula, a small wooden bowl, and a dressing box with a small drawer similar to that used by a woman.

That kitchen knife is the sheathed kitchen knife I saw before, and Master used it to kill Xiao Jiuhe's skeleton ghost and seriously injured Xiao Jiuhe's vitality, this is definitely a treasure!

Master pulled the kitchen knife out of its sheath and handed it to myself. As soon as I took it, my hand sank down, and wow! It's quite heavy!

The style of the knife is not too unusual, and it is also a square one, but the color of the blade is jet black, and there are various complex charm decorations engraved on it, and there is not even a little reflection in the light. The wood used for the handle is also very special, dark purple, I don't know what kind of wood?

Compared with Western-style pointed and narrow kitchen knives, the Chinese square wide and thick kitchen knife has a stronger comprehensive ability. Although this knife style is simple, it is infinitely useful, cutting, chopping, chopping, splitting, slapping, smashing, knocking, picking, scraping, cutting, almost anything! Even this one can be used as a weapon!

"This knife is an ancient treasure knife, which has been inherited from the ghost food gate for thousands of years, and is said to be a weapon and cooking tool used by the ancestors. The knife was not passed down to successive masters as a token of power, but continued to be used as a reward by the most skilled chefs in the door. My master, my master's master, and my master's master have all served as the head of the imperial dining room of the underworld, and this knife has almost become the standard for this position! ”

"Because of this, when I was expelled from the underworld by the Ghost Dining Gate, neither my head nor the second junior brother who injured me had much interest in this knife. Of course, maybe power and position are a little more attractive to them. And in a fit of rage, I didn't hand over the knife, and took it with me. ”

"What is this knife made of?" I studied it for a long time, and my nose was almost on the kitchen knife, but I still couldn't see it. The metal of the blade and the wood of the handle are so rare that I have never heard of them.

"Since it is an ancient treasure sword, it is estimated that only the ancestor who first used it and the craftsman who built it will know. But after so many years, only the use of the knife has been handed down, and these details have long been forgotten. The Master shook his head regretfully, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Then since it's a treasure sword, is there any particularly cool name?"

Master smiled again, "This is also the peculiarity of this knife. It's called 'Business as Always', and it's not cool at all! ”

"As usual?"

I was stunned, what's this name? Shouldn't the ancient treasure knife be the name of slaying the dragon, slashing the moon, breaking the mountain, etc.? Or the knife that specializes in killing ghosts should at least have names such as soul severing, soul slashing, and evil spirits, right?

Usual? How to solve it?

When Master saw that I was stunned, he immediately guessed my thoughts. He explained: "The name of this knife is 'as usual', one is to take the meaning of returning to the basics. Kitchen knives are ordinary and ordinary things, which must be used in every household and every meal every day, and you need to have an ordinary heart when using it. Like you now, you always want to show off and be cool, even if the knife is in your hand, it can't exert half of its power! ”

"I don't have the idea of showing off or being cool!" I hurriedly cried out.

Master ignored me and continued to explain: "Another meaning is to describe its sharpness and invincibility as a weapon. Between heaven and earth, regardless of yin and yang, no matter how hard the tangible thing or the soft illusory thing comes to it, it will be broken with a knife just like ordinary vegetables and meat! Destroy everything! ”

"Well, that's pretty much it!" I nodded.

If you are wise and foolish, if you are brave, if you are cowardly! "As usual" can also be understood as the attitude of emptiness, Master Zu is really awesome, he has already reached this realm!

"What about this pot?" After studying the usual treasure knife, my interest shifted to the iron pot.

"Although this pot is not as legendary as the usual treasure knife, it is also a treasure, and it has also been passed down in the ghost food gate for hundreds of years. This pot is made of 10,000-year-old black iron, which has both yin and yang characteristics, and can withstand high and low temperatures, whether it is used to fry ghost meals, yin meals, or yang meals eaten by living people, there is no problem. Moreover, this pot has a particularly interesting origin! ”

"What's so interesting about it?" I saw that Master was smiling, I guess it was really funny.

"The first to use it was an ancestor in the door. He was born in the war era, and he was born in the Huotou Army, that is, a cooking class specializing in cooking for soldiers who fought in the war. Because he had to march a lot, he was used to carrying a cauldron around all day. And once the battle started, when the enemy sneaked into the baggage camp, he also had to rush into battle to defend against the enemy, so he used the iron pot as a shield every time! ”

Later, this ancestor left the army of the yang world, practiced yin gong, and joined the yin army of the underworld. At this time, he was used to using an iron pot as a shield, so he simply spent a lot of money to build such a dark iron pot for himself, which can be used as a shield or for stir-frying and cooking! Therefore, this 10,000-year-old black iron pot is also called 'shield wok'! ”

"Like to carry the pot? Master, this ancestor turned out to be the ancestor of the backstabber! Ouch! ”

Master knocked on my head, but laughed himself. This ancestor's idea is indeed novel enough!

I touched my head, turned the shield over and over again, and tried the round pot ear tips on my arm, hey! Not to mention, it's just right!

"Master, in order to duel with Xiao Jiuhe before, I just bought a shield that was so expensive that it was destroyed, so you can give me this pot!" I held the shield in my arms, for fear that the master would not agree.

Master was so impressed by my eagerness to be "possessive" that I was making people laugh and cry. He beckoned me to put the pot down first, and said, "If you just want to take this pot, then I'll put everything else away now!" ”

"Huh? Master, you have something to say! "When I heard that, my eyes lit up!

I'm not stupid, hurry up and honestly put down the pot first, and resolutely don't do the stupid thing of losing watermelon and picking up sesame seeds!

The master pointed to the remaining spatula, wooden bowl, and dressing box and said, "These three are the same set of Ruyi chopsticks I gave you before, and the materials used are all thousand-year-old spirit wood. With the blessing of various secret techniques and spells, these yin weapons can change as you wish, so they are all called 'Ruyi'! ”

"It's all called 'Ruyi'? That's the Ruyi Shovel, the Ruyi Bowl and the Ruyi Box! ”

"It's a wishful box!" The Master pulled out two of the small drawers of the box and showed them to me, and corrected, "This is for seasonings." ”

"What's changed about that?" I salivated.

"Let's talk about this thousand-year-old spirit tree first. It is a special tree species that grows in the sun, and is generally hidden in the deep mountains and old forests that are inaccessible. This wood is inherently spiritual, and you can feel the essence of heaven and earth. Thousands of years later, this wood has already had its first spiritual intelligence. ”

"When no one comes, it gets bigger and taller, competing with the ordinary trees around it for more nutrients and sunlight. And when someone approaches, it shrinks into a small sapling so that it will not be cut down after being spotted. Therefore, this kind of tree is sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, like a ghost, it is called 'ghost spirit wood'! ”

"Oh! No wonder that pair of Ruyi chopsticks can be so varied, the original material is so rare! ”

Ruyi chopsticks have been following me for two years, so I must know best. Now there are three more wishful babies of the same type in front of my eyes, and they are almost killing me!

"This ruyi shovel is yin, and it is especially suitable for stir-frying ghost meals and yin meals after adding yin power. Plus, it's nice to make it longer and use it for digging in the dirt! ”

"Digging...... Master, aren't you funny? ”

"Believe it or not, walking around the underworld will inevitably come across times when you need to dig a hole and dig the earth." Master's expression didn't seem to be funny, and he said very seriously: "Let me ask you, there is no stove in the wild, how do you cook and cook?" ”

"Uh...... Take a stone and build one? ”

"No stones?"

"That'...... Just dig one? ”

"What are you digging for?"

“......”

It seems that what Master said is right! You can't dig it with your hands!

"Isn't it safer to dig a stove and find a safe place to camp in the wilderness, but also to dig a simple cave and make a fire at the entrance of the cave?"

"Well, it's practical!"

I picked up the spatula and played with it twice, the use method is similar to the Ruyi chopsticks, if you want to be longer, you can get longer, if you want to be shorter, you can make it shorter, easy to carry, easy to use. It can be called: a must-have for home travel!
