306 Yazhou epidemic
When it came to the discovery of an unknown infectious disease in Yazhou, the drowsiness of the mustache seemed to be gone all of a sudden, and his tone quickened, and he said to me categorically: "If you want to say that this matter has nothing to do with the ghost army, then it is really 'hell'!" ”
I was a little surprised, and I didn't have time to compare the language in his words, so I frowned and asked, "Just found some traces?" Have you investigated for a year and still haven't found any solid evidence? ”
The mustache sighed and said, "No wow! Those ghosts are so cunning, unpredictable, and can move one step faster than us every time! The secret tracking operation I participated in yesterday was only a little bit close to catching them, but in the end I let them run! ”
"So? So what is the current situation, is there no better way? ”
"At the moment, the situation is not too serious." Speaking of this, the mustache's tone began to slow down, "After we reported to the local government that we found an epidemic of unknown infectious diseases, they still paid more attention to it and began to take some preventive and closed measures. And we are still secretly investigating, and the two-pronged approach will always limit the conspiracy of the ghost army. Therefore, now this virus has not formed a large-scale outbreak in Yazhou City. ”
"No wonder you've been dragging over there, it seems that the two sides are still in a stalemate?"
"That's right! We can't break their game for a while, and they can't successfully reach the predetermined goal, so the two sides can only continue to go back and forth, see the moves! ”
I almost understood the situation in Yazhou City when I asked about it, so I also encouraged him: "Okay, then you should be more careful yourself." If you need my help, just say it! ”
Actually, my last sentence is just a casual remark to show politeness. But, the mustache is really serious!
He followed my words and said, "I have an idea, and I might really need your help!" ”
"What thoughts?" I was stunned.
"Because of this investigation, the target we have to deal with is the ghost army. So it's not just us Dao cultivators, you Yin cultivators are also very concerned about this matter, and it's not as embarrassing as the last time we tracked down Xiao Jiuhe. ”
I understood the meaning of the mustache as soon as I heard it. Even if Xiao Jiuhe is a scum in Yin cultivation, he is still a Yin cultivator after all, so when the hosta sect acts, it is inevitable that he will be suspicious of the Yin cultivation sect. But this time is different, the ghost army is the target that Dao Xiu and Yin Xiu both want to attack, but they can consider joining forces.
"You also know that it's no problem for us to fight ghosts, but we can't compare to you in hunting ghosts and catching ghosts." The mustache continued to introduce the situation, "So after we encountered difficulties in our investigation in the early stage, the Maoshan Dao Association came forward and reached a temporary agreement with several local Yin Cultivation Sects in Yazhou to cooperate to fight the ghost army!" ”
"That's a good thing!"
"Not necessarily!" The mustache denied this, "In fact, the effect of cooperation is not very obvious, and even in the past month, there have been farces of repeated shortcuts at critical moments!" Therefore, the high-level of the Maoshan Dao Association began to suspect that there were internal ghosts on the Yin Cultivation Sect's side! ”
"Inner ghost?" I was taken aback and argued, "The ghost army ran out of the underworld to plague the yang world, and this kind of thing Yin cultivation will not gain any benefit from it!" I don't think there's any reason why they're going to go back! ”
"I think so too, but!" The mustache still hesitated, "The elders in our sect don't think so, so someone suggested finding a reliable Yin cultivator from elsewhere to help, and dry the local Yin Cultivation Sect in Yazhou!" ”
"This proposal is more objective. However, you dare to reveal this kind of inside story to me, so you are not afraid that I will leak it out? ”
"Hey! I just told you that I was relieved of you, after all, we have been working together for several years! ”
"So you mean, let me pass?"
"I think you're okay, and I can trust you, it's up to you whether you want to or not!"
"Alas!" I sighed, "I just came up from the underworld, and I have my own business to do. Besides, I didn't take a long vacation, only one month. Do you want to go, you better wait for me to go back to Nanting to visit relatives first! ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news!"
After calling the mustache, I drove back to Nanting County alone.
When I came back to visit relatives this time, my parents complained less. Except for the fact that I couldn't do anything on the journey when I was dart, as soon as I returned to Zuoqiu City, I would borrow the phone line of Teng's family to call home to report my safety. I hear from me every one or two months, and my parents don't worry so much.
I didn't bring back much renminbi this year, so I only left them 20,000 yuan. However, because the money given was less, my parents were willing to accept it, promising to keep it for themselves, such as buying two new clothes and a new TV.
Alas, my parents are getting older, and I can't be by their side for many years, and I can't help but feel a deep sense of guilt!
However, I understand my own situation. Whether it's emotionally or physically, it's hard for me to go back and live an ordinary life again!
After two days with my parents, I went to find Master again. As soon as we met, he grabbed my pulse gate and checked it, and he was also very pleased with my progress in Yin Gong cultivation over the past year, and nodded frequently to express his satisfaction.
"With your talent, coupled with your hard work and the assistance of Yin Meal, I estimate that it will only take about two years for you to be promoted to the fourth level of cultivation!"
"Is it really that fast?" I was overjoyed.
"Well, three years at most!" The master was a little more conservative, "I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on in the middle!" ”
"Alas, Master, you're half right!" As soon as I heard him say this, I became a little frustrated, "It's no problem for me to practice my own, but the effect of eating yin food has not been obvious recently." Not to mention, how expensive and hard to buy those ingredients are! ”
"Nonsense! Where will there be a trick that eats all over the world? ”
When the master saw that I said something depressing, his face immediately turned bad, and he reprimanded: "If it is so easy to improve cultivation, then wouldn't the underworld be full of foodies?" ”
“......”
Foodie?
Master's metaphor is used! I don't know if I should cry or laugh?
"The higher the Yin Gong cultivation, the more advanced the Yin food you have to eat, and the more difficult it is to find the materials you need, and the more expensive it is!" Master finally explained, "After all, Yin Meal is just an auxiliary means, and in the end, you still have to rely on your own hard work to continue to improve!" ”
"Can Master teach me another one of the more advanced yin food?" I automatically ignored the latter sentence and expressed great interest in the first one.
"Alas, you slippery head...... "Master really can't do anything about me."
In the end, he taught me a new Yin dish dish: "Ten Spiced Dog Meat Pot"!
Dog meat is extremely yang, so some people will get angry and have nosebleeds after eating it. The dog meat needed for this yin meal must also be black dog meat, which is simply adding fuel to the fire. However, black dogs are not difficult to find in the sun, especially in a small place like Nanting County, you can see a few of them if you walk around the village, and you can just pay some money to buy one with the dog owner.
The hardest ingredient to get in this dish is Cerberus meat!
Cerberus I have seen in the gladiatorial arena of Zuoqiu City, it is particularly fierce and brutal, and both people and demons eat it. Not to mention eating this vicious dog in the underworld, it's still a big problem whether you can even buy it!
However, Master has also been in the underworld for decades, so he naturally knows some ways. He told me that Cerberus was originally a vicious dog unique to the underworld, and that it was domesticated by the Yin to catch evil spirits. But because Cerberus is fierce enough, big enough and easy to use, some paparazzi were later secretly pulled outside the ghost gate to be raised, and then resold to the underworld outside the underworld as pets.
The Ghost Gate Pass is the gate of the underworld, where the ghosts of the yang world must pass through when they normally come to report to reincarnation. After reporting for duty, this reincarnated ghost was led by Yin to enter the underworld through the ghost gate, and queued up all the way to the reincarnation division.
Outside the Ghost Gate, it is also the gathering place of the ten great yin veins, and it is the main road through the major yin cities in the underworld and the fierce places in the underworld. Because the commerce of the underworld is also quite developed, a semi-official commercial market has naturally formed outside the Ghost Gate, and the name is "Guanwai Market"!
According to Master, there is Cerberus dog meat for sale in the Kanwai Market, so I tried to find a way to buy it there as much as possible. I haven't been to the underworld yet, but the old man in the caravan also said that there are also business contacts between the underworld and the major Yin cities, and there will always be a chance to go to the underworld.
The meat of the Cerberus and the black dog meat of the yang are exactly the difference between the two poles, and they are extremely yin. As the name suggests, it is a combination of ingredients corresponding to various yang and then matched with corresponding ingredients in the underworld, so that yin and yang are harmonized and the two are complementary.
The main ingredient is black dog meat corresponding to the meat of Cerberus, and the five spices in the yang world: Sichuan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel correspond to the five spices of the underworld: grass pepper, heptagon, ice cinnamon, diced ghost head and fufu, and called ten spices!
This dish is not difficult in terms of preparation, but the difficulty is to finally gather all the main ingredients. But Master also said that the effect of this yin meal is just right for me to consume at this stage, and the auxiliary effect will be obvious until I break through to the fourth level of yin gong.
After asking Master for the recipe for "Ten Spiced Dog Meat Pot", I began to beg Master to give me the usual sword. He promised that when my cultivation improved, he would pass on that awesome ancient kitchen knife to me.
But Master flatly refused this time!
He said: "Since the name of the Ruchang Knife is as usual, you need your mentality to reach the state of treating everything as if it were ordinary in order to exert its full power. Giving it to you too early is just equivalent to an ordinary kitchen knife. You'd better wait a little longer! ”
I was not happy, and I said in my heart: "What is so mysterious? It's not reluctant! ”
