Chapter 456: The Leech in the Dish
The mysterious world of "Lushan" is said to originate at the bottom of the Min River, which is invisible to mortals, and can only be seen by those who have cultivated to a certain ability.
The Taoist priests of the Lushan sect believed in this legend and believed that "Lushan" must exist. But after so many years, I haven't found the mysterious world "Lushan".
In the hearts of the Taoist priests of the Lushan School, "Lushan" and Xianshan are the same existence. Because of this, the Taoist priests of the Lushan sect often felt that they were more orthodox and higher than other Taoist sects. However, the fact is that the Lushan faction is in decline day by day.
Among the larger sects in the Daomen, there are also Lushan sects. But the Lushan faction can also be ranked in the fourth position, and there are also Maoshan faction, Meishan faction, and Longhushan faction.
At that time, Lu Shan was on the booklet handed to me by my master Ma Hongji, and introduced that he was quite famous and powerful, and it was not a problem to rank first.
Now, it's not the same.
The car came to Fuyuan City and drove towards the outskirts of the city according to the navigation, first a section of the expressway, and then crossed a cable-stayed bridge. Below the bridge is the rolling river with magnificent waves.
The afterglow of the setting sun is scattered on the water, reflecting pieces of sparkling light, which is very beautiful.
The pumpkin smoked a cigarette, looked at the scenery outside the car window, and exclaimed: "This is the Minjiang River, it's really big." There are still many mountains in the distance, which complement the flowing rivers. β
I didn't say anything, and people were already intoxicated by the beauty. The windows were open, and the wind from outside blew in, carrying the smell of mud and river water inside, which was exceptionally cool.
Pumpkin asked me: "Brother Qin, didn't you say it just now, Lushan originated at the bottom of the Minjiang River, and we are now on the Minjiang River, could it be that Lushan is really under this river?" ... Could it be that there are still living people in that mysterious world, all living in the water with gills and scales? β
I laughed and said, "What do you say, how can a person live in water?" However, that's just a legend, a legend is a legend, and the gap between it and reality is still relatively large. Where the mysterious world Lu Mountain is, I'm afraid no one knows. β
"Even if Lushan is really in the water, under the water, it is impossible for the people of the Lushan Sect to find it. But according to the Taoist book, it is very certain that Lushan exists. Perhaps, in an alien dimension. β
"But after so many years, many people from the Lushan faction have been looking for Lushan, if Lushan really exists, I see, I have found it a long time ago. Besides, now that science and technology are so developed, and there are also deep-water detection instruments, it is impossible for Lushan to really hide. β
Pumpkin and I were also curious, so we talked a lot about the mysterious world of Lushan. After all, I am now a Taoist priest of the Lushan faction, although I don't have a serious apprenticeship, but I am a disciple of Ma Hongji, and this identity has already been decided.
It's just that I want to marry a wife, have children, and have a happy life, so I have the name of a lay disciple.
When the car got off the bridge, I came to a very prosperous town.
This side of the town is only a dozen miles away from the main altar of the Lushan faction, and we can arrive in an hour. After a day's drive and no meals at noon, Pumpkin and I were already hungry with our chests and backs.
So, when we arrived in town, we parked our cars and headed for a restaurant.
The name of the restaurant is "Ruyi", and the decoration outside is a bit ancient, and the signature dishes are hung outside, and the pattern is very large, which makes people have an appetite.
"This one looks good, that's it, let's go inside." I greet the pumpkin. Then, the two of us went into the restaurant.
There were many people in the restaurant, and there were cubicles inside, so we found a random spot and beckoned the waiter to come and order.
In the past, Sichuan, Cantonese and Hunan cuisine were the most commonly eaten, but now restaurants are everywhere across the country, and it is convenient to eat. However, Fujian cuisine is rarely eaten, or rather, after eating, I don't know that it is Fujian cuisine.
And the most popular in Fuyuan City is Fujian cuisine.
I took the menu from the waiter's hand and looked at it, and sure enough, it was marked with "Fujian cuisine", and after turning a few pages, I saw a lot of beautiful dish names.
What spiced fish, Yanglang chicken, sesame prawns, crispy eel... Wait, it looks tempting.
"This, this, and this, all of them!" I pointed to the name of the dish on the menu.
Then after the waiter memorized it, I handed the menu to the pumpkin. The pumpkin was not polite, and ordered two more dishes, and asked for four bowls of rice at the end.
Waiting for the time to serve, I looked around the restaurant, and the dΓ©cor inside was also antique. There are also several antiques on a shelf.
It is said to be an antique, but it is all decorative, and it is not worth much, that is, it is just eye-catching.
However, just as I was looking diagonally diagonally, I noticed that there were two people dressed as Taoist priests, sitting in the compartment diagonally opposite each other, eating.
Those two people were both men, wearing Taoist robes, and carrying a lot of things on their bodies.
Seeing me staring over there, Pumpkin glanced at me and said, "I didn't expect to meet a Taoist priest just after I arrived here, it's really fate." Brother Qin, you don't need to go over to say hello, they should also be from the Lushan faction. β
I shook my head: "No, I'm not familiar with it, what to say hello." β
Probably sensing our gaze, one of the bearded Taoist priests diagonally opposite us also glanced at us.
But he looked at me with disgust in his eyes. Also, it doesn't feel good to be stared at when eating.
The point is that I didn't wear a Taoist robe, that is, ordinary jeans, plus short sleeves, and a coat, which looked no different from ordinary people, except that I was carrying a big backpack on my back.
I didn't pay attention to the Taoist priest's gaze, and when the food came up, Pumpkin and I shook off our cheeks and started eating.
It's just that the taste here is light and sweet, and it feels weird to eat in your mouth. Luckily, the flavor was brighter, so I ate a little more of the pumpkin. We're really hungry too.
When we finished eating and were about to settle the bill, I accidentally glanced at it, but I saw that the bearded Taoist priest opposite him had actually found a bamboo tube. Then, he sneaked out a black insect from the bamboo tube and threw it into the plate.
"Waiter, call your boss over, come and see! Grandma's, what's this called, eating a meal, actually eating such a big dirty thing, is your restaurant deliberately disgusting people? β
"Come here, you have to give me an explanation!"
The bearded Taoist priest shouted in annoyance as he picked his teeth with a toothpick. Ah, I see it very clearly, he obviously wants to repay the debt and evade the bill.
The identity of the key party is that he still seems to be a Taoist priest.
No, this kind of thing has happened to me, and it's the first time I've encountered it.
"! Hurry up, everyone is dead?! The bearded Taoist priest was still shouting at the top of his voice.
It didn't take long for a waitress to trot.
This waitress should be younger than me and average-looking. Maybe it was because of nervousness, when I saw the bearded Taoist priest, my hands were clutched together, and I was a little overwhelmed.
"Look at it, you give me a good look, what is this! Damn, it's a leech! The bearded Taoist priest was furious, "That's how you treat us guests?" Leeches are poisonous, do you want to poison our two brothers? β
The waitress hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no, no!" I don't know where this leech came from, I didn't see it when I served it before! β
The bearded Taoist priest slammed the table and shouted, "Didn't you see it? Hmph, is that your reason? Grandma's, I think you put this thing in on purpose to kill us. β
"If you don't give us an explanation today, Lao Tzu will smash your restaurant. Damn, having a meal doesn't make people feel at ease. β
Forehead. He should have said the opposite, obviously they were finding fault with themselves.
Sitting across from the bearded Taoist priest was a young man in his twenties. His face was fair, but that white, a little unhealthy, as if he had lost too much blood.
He also has a bamboo skewer tied to his head and a chopstick in his hand.
He was still persuading the bearded Taoist priest: "Senior brother, don't be angry, I don't think they did it on purpose." They run a restaurant, and if they really put leeches in the food, it won't hurt themselves! I think it may have been the leech that inadvertently crawled into the dish and was served. β
It's really good at acting!
The waitress next to her saw the white-faced Taoist priest speaking for the restaurant, and she hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, this leech must have climbed into it by itself." Don't be angry, guest, or I... I'll give you another plate! β
But the bearded Taoist priest opposite stood up from his seat in vain and said angrily: "What to change, Lao Tzu has no heart to eat." You go, call your boss right away, I want to know what the hell is going on? β
The bearded Taoist priest was a head taller than the waitress, and when he stood up, he was even more terrifying, and his angry face was even more terrifying.
The waitress was so frightened that she almost cried, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I'll go to the boss, you first... Wait a minute! β
The bearded Taoist priest glared and said, "Then go quickly, don't delay Dao Ye and my time, otherwise, you will have to suffer!" β
The waitress was so frightened that she hurriedly ran away to find her boss.
This scene was very angry in my eyes, but I didn't say anything.
I want to see what other tricks this bearded Taoist priest wants to play. The waitress left, and the bearded Taoist priest touched a tissue and wiped his mouth. And the food on the table has long been swept away by them.
Indeed, they were not in the mood to eat, because they were already full of food and drink, and their bellies were round. Damn, these two bastards.
Pumpkin saw this too, and he looked inside our food and pulled it with his chopsticks.
"What are you looking for?" I asked.
The pumpkin said bitterly: "Look for leeches!" There are leeches on that table, and we may have one in there. β
I pouted and said, "No need to look for it, no!" The leech of the other people, it is a special offering, it is the private property of others, how can it be that you can find it if you want to. β
Pumpkin listened to my words, and still didn't understand, "Brother Qin, what do you mean by this?" β
I smiled and said, "Just look at it, see how that bearded Taoist priest is playing?!" β
The pumpkin poked her head out and looked that way.
He seemed to understand what I meant. glanced at it, hurriedly turned around, looked at me, and whispered, "Brother Qin, what do you mean... The leeches were brought by themselves, and they came here specially... Come and eat white food. β
I nodded, "Well, you've finally gotten smarter!" β
