Chapter 0829: Burning Chentang Pass?
"Humph!!"
o(`^??) o Hmph!
Now Anne is angry, very angry, hugely angry!!
And the object of her anger is obviously a bare-ass kid who deceived her and tricked her into eating what kind of so-called delicious 'incense' - Nezha!
"That bad thing......"
(▼へ▼メ)
"He dared to say that 'incense' was a very good thing, and tricked me into going to his house...... It turns out that it could be that kind of messy and impure power of faith that can't be eaten or drunk? I won't be rare like that, and I won't want it for free!! ”
?? (?? ﹏??、)??
anyway
This time, Anne followed the guy named Nezha to the smoky and miasma-filled ruined temple, which was really in vain...... She's very sad and angry at the same time!
You know, Queen Anne is one of the most ...... The most powerful arcane archmage, she is only interested in some strange and interesting things, or knowledge that she doesn't know, or things like good food and drink, as for things like 'faith', she has never been disdainful, and she will never absorb the kind of things that obviously outweigh the good, and will also restrain herself, and she will not 'eat' the impure 'incense' that the hateful villain Nezha gave her!!
Besides, there are so many worlds that she has saved (occupied), and the sea that worships and believes in her unconditionally Queen Anne is gone, if she really wants that power of faith, wouldn't she run to the Caribbean world or the sanctuary world of St. Shuari to search for that purer faith? Where will you 'eat' that little child's incense faith and willingness, which is mixed with purpose and impure motives?!
"I don't want to play with him anymore!!"
(?? ~?? )
Although Anne never seemed to have played with the other party, today's events and encounters were enough to pull the other party from her non-existent 'friends' list of prestige from 'friendly' to 'cold'.
(…… )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
(Tibbs also felt a little regretful about what happened to his little master......
Of course, the things it regrets must be a little inconsistent with the content of its little master's anger, and it is definitely not about the kind of thing that the other party is angry about not being able to eat something delicious, but some regrets why the bad little master of its family didn't burn the broken temple of the bare-ass kid named Nezha to vent his anger when he was angry? )
"It's so annoying!"
?? (?? `^????)??
Anne feels like she's a little unlucky today?
First of all, at the beginning, she came out to hang out, didn't recruit anyone, didn't provoke anyone, and took the initiative to do a good deed and burned a few man-eating monsters, but the result was good, after doing a good deed, she was wronged, and then she struck a few times with thunder? Then, when he was hungry and ready to eat, he let a little broken child play tricks?!
Anyway, little Anne is now indignant in her heart, feeling aggrieved, depressed, unhappy, and wanting to take her anger out on others...... Anyway, she's in a bad mood right now, if anyone dares to provoke her now, it will definitely not end well!!
"Tiebs, the people of this world are really too bad, even the little children are so bad, thieves and thieves, they say good things, and they want to fool us with that kind of thing when they come to an end!!"
(?? ╭╮?? )
Anne was very aggrieved and unhappy!
Because, the plan that she thought she would be able to eat a rare meal today completely failed, and those so-called good things 'incense' were useless in her opinion! Therefore, she had to wander aimlessly in the mountains, and she didn't know where this strange place she had just flashed and teleported to in a random flash in anger.
(So what do you want to do now, why don't you go back and continue to walk around?) You see, it's getting dark, and the sun is about to set......
?????????? Well?
- Actually, Tiebs knows that his bad little master may have misunderstood the bare-ass little human soul called Nezha, and in his opinion, the other party is willing to take out the force of faith called 'incense' and share it with his little master, which is indeed very remarkable!
But it's a pity that the other party didn't figure out the origin of this little master of his family, so that he accidentally expressed his wrong feelings and did bad things with good intentions. )
"People don't want to do anything! I'll just walk around, you leave me alone!! ”
o(?? ^`)o
"That's right! Tibbs, it looks pretty quiet here, and there are a lot of critters, or ...... Shall we grab something outside for a picnic? ”
?? (????????????)??
The environment here looks very unfamiliar, it is definitely not the boundary of Cuiping Mountain, where her temporary home is located, and it is definitely not near Chentangguan, but Anne really doesn't know what the specific place is.
After all, she doesn't have a map of this world, and there are no obvious boundary monuments here, it's just a sparsely populated deep mountain and wild forest, if it were an ordinary person, she would definitely not dare to come to this kind of place alone at such a time! Because, there are many insects, snakes, beasts, demons and monsters in the wild in this world, if you don't have some skills and like to go out and hang around, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back!
What's worse is that in this world, even if you don't come out to wander around, it is very risky for ordinary people to live in peace, such as the fate of the mountain stream and rural village far away from Chentangguan? That place was obviously guarded by Li Jing, the general soldier of Chentangguan, and it was obviously within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, but in broad daylight, there were still monsters coming out to hurt and eat people, which shows the difficulty of the survival of the human race in this world.
however
This kind of thing has nothing to do with little Anne, she just wants to have fun in this world now, and then find something delicious or strange to satisfy her curiosity.
(Dear little master, do you want to grab something for a barbecue?) But what do you want to grab and what do you want to eat?
?????? ~??????
- Tibbs knew, he had just made a look, and there didn't seem to be any such large animals that grew big and had a lot of meat in the vicinity of the deep mountains and forests...... Besides, it was very worried about the cooking skills of its little master, who would at most roast frogs and charcoal grilled meat, the kind that burned all the meat and bones into charcoal...... )
"Of course...... It's eating it~!! ”
(?? `▽????)????????
As soon as she stretched out her hand, with the help of the mage's hand, Anne successfully caught a strange fish with a big head, slimy body and four thick legs from a stream not far away...... Or, it can be said that it is a huge strange loach with a body size of more than one meter and a weight of about a dozen pounds, and a strange catfish?
anyway
Whatever it was, it was now tightly grasped by little Annie's little hands, and it looked clumsy, and had no power to fight back, only writhing in vain and struggling with the four big and short ones, but never reaching the little hand that grabbed its neck.
(…… )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
(Little master, this seems to be...... A certain oriental giant salamander salamander, it belongs to the endangered animal, and the book says that this salamander is not to be eaten......
??????????
- Of course, Tibbs knew that there must be no problem for his little master to eat a fish...... However, like the strange thing in front of him that is secreting a lot of mucus all over its body, it still doesn't recommend its own little master to eat it, and it is not recommended that the little master who basically doesn't know how to cook it in addition to roasting it can try it easily. )
"This is not the earth thousands of years from now, this mountain is full of these things, there are so many of them, why can't I eat them?"
?? (????????????))????????
Moreover, little Anne found its source in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas":
The mountain of Longhou has no grass and trees, and there is a lot of gold and jade. The water of determination flows out of the river, and flows eastward into the river. Among them, there are many mermaids, whose shapes are as follows?? Fish, four-legged, its voice is like that of a baby, and it eats without dementia.
Anne didn't know if this was Longhou Mountain, or if it was a stream of the Yellow River, but she only knew now that this giant salamander was a good thing to eat, and the book also said that if you eat its meat, you won't get that kind of Alzheimer's disease?
Even if Anne doesn't grow old and doesn't get the strange disease of Alzheimer's, she is always willing to try this kind of food that is recorded in books.
(Then whatever you want, you can eat it as you want, it's not poisonous anyway...... )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
"But, Tiebs, what are we going to do?"
s (???? ˇεˇ????) ゞ
"If you bake it directly, it might be fishy...... And it looks slimy, full of that snot-like mucus, it's disgusting...... Also, it's a little bigger, and it doesn't look like a frog like a small animal......."
o(,,??????,,)o
Little Anne has a talent for eating, and that talent is undoubtedly high!
However, the talent for cooking is not very good......
Some of the things she cooked by herself, she herself hated it to death, so now looking at the giant salamander she caught by herself, it always makes her feel a little helpless, but if she throws it away, she is a little reluctant, after all, it is said in the book, it is edible, it is a kind of food!
(Little master, let's just put a small fire and burn it slowly, if you don't want to accidentally burn it directly to ashes?)
??????????
- Tibbs, who didn't want to waste time, directly instigated his little master to do it, and burned and ate the giant salamander that might become an endangered protected animal in thousands of years! Anyway, in this era, the other party is not a protected animal, and no one dares to trouble its little master because of this. )
“……”
(。?? ˇ?? ˇ??。 )
"Okay, let's bake it for the time being......"
???? (??????????????)????????
Anyway, there are many more in this mountain stream, and even bigger than this one, if it is too fishy to bake or cannot be eaten for other reasons, then she will catch one or two more alive and take it back, and let Xiaobai help her stew a pot of beautiful soup.
"Flame ......"
?? (?????? ~????) ╭????
Little Anne has always done whatever comes to her mind, so she directly summoned two fireballs and planned to do it.
In short, it's just baking and roasting, and it's not tight......
Although it looks a little pitiful, but small animals are destined to be eaten, even if they are not caught and roasted by her now, they will be caught and eaten alive by other big animals in the future, in this case, then she Queen Anne will definitely not be unhappy.
After all, although the little animal is very pitiful, her little belly that has been empty is even more pitiful!!
'Spare your life, spare your life......
'Daxian spares your life, please raise your noble hand and let go of the small one, right? ’
Under the influence of the mage's hand, a certain 'its shape is like ?? The fish, four-legged, with its voice like a baby's, eats without dementia, was suspended in mid-air, and was slowly controlled and moved to the top of a certain flame and began to roast at a low temperature, when suddenly a baby-like voice finally sounded.
It had to speak, because if it didn't, it would be dead!!
“!!”
!? (??''????)??
"Who? Who's talking! Hey? Looks like you're a giant salamander?! ”
???????? Σ(???? ω?????? ‖)??
In shock, little Anne directly grabbed the other party's tail, and then carried it to herself again to look at it for a while, and after confirming it, she screamed and threw it to the ground.
'Ouch......'
'Little Demon Salamander Mountain People, I would like to thank Daxian for his grace not to kill! ’
Soon, under the slightly surprised gazes of little Anne and Tibbs, the giant salamander that had just been roasted on the fire and then had to speak was writhing on the ground for a while, and then with the distortion of the light, a giant salamander with a flattened and wrinkled head, and two slimy whiskers, which looked to be nearly two meters tall, actually appeared in front of him?
(It's a youkai, so you know...... )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
“!!”
∑(?? △`)?!
"It's so ugly, I'm glad I didn't eat it just now, otherwise, I would have to spit it out now!!"
(°ー°〃)
Looking at the other party's slimy and smelly skin, ugly head and slimy body fluids, little Anne directly pinched her little nose and took a few steps back, and with some disgust, she rubbed the hand she had just grabbed the other party and rubbed it vigorously on the body of Tiebs, the bear, who was protruding from the position of her waist disc, and wiped off the slimy fishy liquid.
(…… )
?????????? ← instantly became unhappy bear face!
↑But there's no good way to do it......
"Hey!"
?? (????????????) o
"Who the hell are you and why are you here? And, what kind of place is this?! ”
o(?? `▽????) o
Little Anne obviously didn't like the stinky, slimy, and ugly guy in front of her, and the other party managed to make her appetite go away...... However, that didn't stop her from asking for directions, so that she could write down where the place was now, and follow her recipes...... No, it's compared with the divine book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" that explores the world, so that you can find those delicious things in the future!
"Enlightenment, Enlightenment Great Immortal ......."
"The little demon is not a person, the little demon is a giant salamander that has cultivated to the essence...... The little demon has been practicing in this Longhou Mountain for more than 300 years, and this is the Longhou Mountain......"
In fact, the giant salamander spirit itself is quite wronged, it didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, and it didn't commit any evil things, and practiced well in its own home, but it didn't want disaster to fall from the sky.
"Sure enough, it's Longhou Mountain!!"
o(??????????) o??
"Then let me ask you, two hundred miles southwest of here, is it Taihang Mountain? Two hundred miles to the northeast, isn't it Ma Chengshan?! ”
?? (???? ﹃??)??
There is a life on Taihang Mountain for '??' There is also a six-legged bird like a magpie, and it has six chicken legs to gnaw on...... And Ma Cheng Mountain is even more remarkable, there are even the kind of dog-headed Pegasus with wings, and a kind of white-headed, blue-feathered and yellow-clawed turtle dove, it is said that people will no longer feel hungry after eating, and can also treat warts?
Actually, little Anne didn't say or care about the claim that the white-headed turtle dove could cure diseases, but she was very interested in the myth that the miraculous bird was said to never feel hungry after eating!
Anyway, she wondered if it was true that she wouldn't feel hungry after eating them. Or is it just a good meal? Of course, it's also possible that that thing is actually poisonous, and the average person will burp after eating too much, and then he will never be afraid of starvation in the future?
(*^▽^*)
In short, she is just guessing, and she is also very interested in researching!
(…… )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
"Daisen ......"
"Daisen? What else do you have to ask about? If not, can the little demon retire now? ”
The salamander didn't want to stay here with this strange and dangerous little blonde banshee in front of him, it just wanted to go back as soon as possible!
"Not for the time being, let's go~!!"
(??????????) Well!
After noting the location of the neighborhood, little Anne had little interest in which salamander spirit she had, for she rarely had the idea of eating the flesh of such intelligent creatures in general, especially the ugly ones who could talk!
"Thank you Daxian for not killing......"
The giant salamander was as fine as Meng Dahe, and quickly turned around and ran in the direction of a certain stream, and before long, the sound of rustling became farther and farther away, until the other party completely disappeared, and I don't know where he was hiding.
"Hmm......"
(ー`?? ー)
"This is Longhou Mountain, so Chentangguan should be in this direction?!"
(,,??????,,)
Things have not been going well this day, so little Anne decided not to wander around for the time being, and went to Chentangguan to play before it was dark to see if there was anything interesting or delicious there......
Although the taste of the other party's cooking is a little rigid, it must be countless times better than herself.
————————
"Husband!"
"Where's that Jiang Ziya Daoist, where did he go again?!"
In the mansion of the general soldier of Chen Tangguan, holding a tray in both hands, which contained some children's paste-like food and returned to the lobby, Mrs. Yin, who just wanted to greet the old Taoist chief to have a light meal later, unexpectedly found that the old Taoist who was still talking happily with her husband just now disappeared at this time?
So, in confusion, she asked her husband curiously after handing over the things in her hand to a maid beside her and asking her to feed the little baby who had been rescued by luck.
"Ahem!"
"The Taoist said that he went to Chaoge to seek refuge with his brother-in-law, and he just escaped with Taoism! Before leaving, he entrusted the child to us, saying that we should find a good family in Chentang Pass to help adopt him? ”
Li Jing waved his hand and motioned for the maids to take the little baby who was still crying down to take care of it, and then sighed and sat down on the side of the hall.
In fact, he is not worried about the matter of children, whether it is adopted in the mansion of the general soldier or it is not difficult to find someone to adopt, but the fire demon who almost slaughtered the village and harmed hundreds of innocent villagers is not very easy to deal with.
After all, he, Li Jing, is the chief soldier of Chentangguan, and has the responsibility of guarding the land and protecting the people, no matter what, he always needs to give an explanation to the fathers and elders of Chentangguan! And that fire demon must also be destroyed!!
"Humph! I think he must have been scared, so he escaped!! ”
"It's good that he's gone, but how are we going to find that little fire demon who killed the people?!"
Hearing that the old Taoist priest had found an excuse to escape, Mrs. Yin snorted and punched the heavy wooden pillar of the hall, leaving a fist mark on the hardwood of the pillar, which was extremely tough, and at the same time, the whole house trembled slightly.
She didn't really care if the old Taoist priest left or not, all she cared about was that without the help of the other party, how would they find the monster who didn't know the specific appearance, but only knew that it was 'blonde hair and blue eyes'?
"Alas......"
"Madam, it is our duty to guard and protect the people, and it is already commendable for Daoist Jiang to save people, how can he be too demanding?"
Although he also knew that the other party might really be afraid of the fierce fire demon, Li Jing did not have the slightest excuse to keep the other party and let the other party stay and help...... After all, they are always a strange man like an idle cloud and a wild crane, not under the control of the government, and they are not familiar with each other, so there is no reason to ask each other for help.
"Humph!!"
Having said that, the other party's escape still made Mrs. Yin snort a little angrily, and at the same time, the bronze saber on her waist slammed viciously to the rock floor, causing it to sink directly into the stone slab.
"Madame, you......"
Li Jing shook his head, and was about to say something to appease his wife, when suddenly, a sweaty soldier ran in quickly.
"Report~!!"
"Lord General Soldier, a blonde and blue-eyed little girl was found outside the city of Chentang Pass, very similar to the little fire demon who killed people and set fire to the picture on the list!!"
The herald, who knelt on one knee to give the news, told the chief soldier and his wife with an anxious and excited face, and by the time he arrived, the soldiers at the head of their city had already surrounded the little blonde monster that had suddenly appeared on their surface!
"Hah!!"
"What an arrogant fire demon, not long after he posted the list, he dared to come to my Chentang Pass to make trouble?!"
Hearing that the little fire demon who killed people and set fire to the village was not counting, but dared to violate his Chen Tangguan, Li Jing was furious, so he directly threw his cloak and walked out of the door.
"Husband wait for me!!"
Hearing the news, Mrs. Yin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and then she didn't dare to lag behind, so she directly rolled up the bronze sword that she had just inserted into the stone slab, and turned around and chased after her husband Li Jing......
Just now she was worried that she wouldn't be able to find the little fire demon, but now it's a good thing, the other party actually sent it to the door by herself!!
