Chapter 838: National Teacher
Well, in fact, the statue has nothing to do with the carp spirit half-dime, because that's what little Aretha looks like. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for why there is a statue of Aretha in the Fishbone Temple, we have to start from the beginning.
In the reeds a few days ago, after little Aresa absorbed the soul of the fishing boss, Qin Fen remembered it in his heart.
Later, after returning home, he asked Daoist Wang many questions, and then he learned that Aresha was not eating a specific soul, but a kind of qi from a living being.
It's just that the qi of the unjust soul is mostly resentment, and regular eating will inevitably cause a bad effect, and the lonely soul and wild ghost have been doing it for a long time, and the qi on the body will naturally disperse.
Therefore, it is better to build a temple, make incense offerings, and feed Aretha with the power of faith.
Qin Fen discussed it with the others and felt that it was feasible, so there was today's scene, anyway, even if it failed, it would not hurt, at most it would be a pity, but once it succeeded, Aresha could be freed from her slumber and become Qin Fen's greatest help.
It's just that it takes a while for the results to be accepted, so there's no need to rush it.
Two days later, the little monsters in the vicinity were swept away by everyone, and the rest may have heard the wind and refused to show their heads again.
Originally, everyone planned to go to Lin Yueru's hometown, but at this time, the leader of the Second Middle Pirate Group contacted Qin Fen:
"We have discovered the whereabouts of the centipede national division, I wonder if Boss Qin is interested in making a move?"
The centipede national teacher is a self-proclaimed Pudu Cihang, but he is a super centipede, and somehow he actually got mixed into the position of the national teacher, and ate most of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.
This kind of strength is definitely better than that of the Dryad Grandma.
Originally, Qin Fen was reluctant to face such a strong enemy, but after a few days, Aretha's sleeping time was significantly shortened, and her soul power was indeed replenished, so after some consideration, everyone clearly agreed.
The next thing is to say goodbye to the people of Qingshui County, and then start on the road.
The group first took a boat down the Qingshui River, which can continue to move forward even when resting, which greatly saves physical strength and energy.
However, the happy time is always short-lived, and everyone can walk dozens of miles, and they find that the river in front of them has cleverly bent out of a huge arc, like a big hook, bending to the east, if you continue to drift lazily, then you will inevitably go against the place where you originally went.
Therefore, Qin Fen and the others could only abandon the boat and go ashore and resume the days of walking on both legs.
But when Qin Fen got off the boat, he immediately heard a series of "creaking" overwhelmed sounds coming from under his feet, and then he felt that the whole person was sinking downward, and the silt and rotten leaves quickly covered Qin Fen's instep, and a rancid smell rushed to his head, causing people to sneeze several times one after another.
"Unlucky, it's a tidal swamp." Qin Fen scolded in a low voice.
In this era, demons are rampant, the land is vast and sparsely populated, after leaving the range of the city, the population suddenly quickly becomes scarce, as far as the eye can see, almost all of them are a large wilderness, and in these undeveloped wilderness, there are many poisonous insects and beasts.
Helpless, everyone could only pinch their noses and trek forward in this swamp. It didn't take long for the shoes to turn into two big mud lumps. And there are a lot of mosquitoes in this swamp, buzzing in your ears and clamoring to suck blood and eat meat, which is really annoying.
Fortunately, everyone's nerves are quite tenacious, and the mud swamp or something is no longer enough to challenge their limits, so they just frowned, took out a mask to cover their mouths and noses, and quickly got used to it. If you are an ordinary person, you will soon collapse when you enter this nightmare place full of rancidity, silt, and dampness.
After landing on the shore and walking out for one or two hundred meters, Qin Fen realized at this time that there were several streams nearby that were meandering and flowing, pouring into this swamp, and then facing in all directions, so the water surface showed chaotic small whirlpools from time to time. At this moment, under the sun, the heat is steaming, and there are wisps of pale yellow mist in some places, which is quite bleak, which is quite frightening, and I believe that any normal person will not have the idea of going in to experience it.
At the same time, after the heat of the sun is transferred to the ground through the surface, the heat evaporates, resulting in turbid bubbles coming out from the bottom of the swamp from time to time.
In addition, there are clouds of black-red mist diffused in the distance, and if you look closely, you can see what kind of black-red mist there is, but there are countless small bites, mosquitoes, and blood flies gathered together, and the scalp is numb.
Walking in this swamp can be said to be extremely difficult, but fortunately, everyone has a wealth of survival experience, knowing that the most troublesome part of this swamp is just an incredible number of mosquitoes, even if it is a cow, it only takes an hour for the blood to be sucked out, leaving only a skinny corpse.
Luckily, the swamps created by this terrain are usually not large, and it took them half a day to walk through the rotten and foul-smelling swamp area before they came to a vast reed. However, it was already relatively dry here, and the muddy water could only overflow the surface of the feet, and the ground was covered with very lush hollow noodle grass, green and green, crowded together, dense and dense, spreading far away. It's a pity that the reeds have not yet bloomed at this time, and only the green waist pole is swaying in the breeze, otherwise, the scene of the reeds flying in the sky should be very beautiful.
Walking here, the next step was to climb the mountains and mountains as if walking on the ground, and the speed of everyone's feet quickened, and the next evening they saw a city in the distance.
At this moment, the sky is dark, and there are a little stars in the sky, but I am not in a hurry to go, but sit in the tea house under the woods on the side of the road to cultivate my spirit.
After everyone sat down, soon a middle-aged woman with dark skin came over with a teapot, the tea was packed in a large tin teapot, which was directly brewed from sun-dried wild camellias, and it was quite bitter in the mouth, but it was quite thirst-quenching.
"What do you want from a few guests? We have mutton buns, pig's trotters and elbows, big pancakes ......"
The Titan patted his chest and said, "Take what you have here, all in two, it's not bad for money!" ”
Adventurers are big eaters, and although there is plenty of fresh water and food stored in the team space, it is an emergency supply in case of emergency.
"Ah, this ......" The middle-aged woman's face showed a little hesitation, and she didn't dare to speak.
Qin Fen had such eyesight, he could see at a glance that this woman was afraid that everyone would eat the overlord's meal, so he immediately took out a silver ingot, and said with a smile:
"Let's serve the food and drinks, and the rest will be counted as a reward."
The woman took the money, smiled, turned and beckoned:
"Boss, boss! Hurry up and bring the buns to these distinguished guests! ”
"Come on!"
Two baskets of steaming mutton buns were served in a blink of an eye, although the noodles of the pinched buns were corn noodles, the color was blackened, not to mention, there were some grinding throats, the mutton inside was not cleaned, there was a faint smell of food, but the advantage was that the amount was large and the amount of food was enough, and the chives wrapped in it well reconciled the smell of mutton, and it tasted full of oil, which made people's appetite move.
The journey team is quite large, divided into four tables and seated, even if it looks like Sven Er, she is definitely not slow to eat.
The couple ran before and after they quickly broke out sweating profusely.
"It tastes good." Qin Fenzanzan.
Soon, the hostess came over again, scooped a spoonful of viscous liquid into the bowl. The liquid was quite thick, mixed with many bright red and snow-white filaments, and when bursts of heat rose, an indescribable fragrance came to the nose.
Everyone naturally has no habit of cleanliness, and smells strangely fragrant, two baskets of steaming mutton buns under the belly, but it is just an appetizing snack, so immediately picked up the bowl, and took a sip of the spoon, only to feel that the soup soup in the entrance is silky and soft, and there is a strange fragrance of seafood and mountain fresh mixed together, chew slightly, and find that there is a very "tough" filament in the tooth collision, you can chew it off only if you exert force, it is very elastic and chewy, and the taste is really good.
After drinking a bowl in one go, Qin Fen patted the table and said, "Add to it!" ”
Soon, the couple found that their cooking speed could not keep up with Qin Fen's eating speed, and they couldn't help but be very sad, and finally went to the tea house to beg for the left and right, which satisfied the food supply.
One of the dishes that has been unanimously praised by everyone is that the tofu is cut into matchbox-sized pieces, and then the surface is baked to a yellow-orange orange over low heat, and the seasoning is sprinkled, which is amazingly delicious. Of course, this tofu is also special, and there is a lot of water, that is, the tofu brain is poured into a wooden lattice covered with cotton cloth, wrapped, squeezed with a heavy object, and the water is squeezed out, which generally leaves a small half of the water.
Therefore, when roasting, it is a great test of the fire, once it is roasted for a long time, the moisture in it escapes, and the dry one is very difficult to eat, and the battered tofu baked by Da Laihan is simply like a layer of gold leaf pasted on the surface, the golden can is extremely eye-catching, and the green and white tender shallots are sprinkled on it, and the bulging round and yellow are very distinct.
Not only that, but it is also smeared with a secret seasoning, which can be said to be a bite down, and the surface is immediately crispy "click" sound, and with a little force, the teeth will cut into the tender and watery tofu, from which a strange fresh tender juice is stirred, and there is a faint warm fragrance, which makes people feel fascinated.
Qin Fen only had to eat one piece, and the rest was taken away by a few women with shiny eyes, and he could only smile helplessly.
"Excuse me, is it Boss Qin?" A young girl suddenly walked up to Qin Fen and asked softly.
The girl is only twenty-one or twelve years old, which is the age of vitality, and there is a trace of heroic charm in the quietness, and the chest is quite surging and surging. She seemed to have just hurried to hurry, there were faint sweat stains on her forehead, a drop of sweat slid down her cheeks, dripped into the snow-white neck, and then under the action of gravity, slid through a bright trace and flowed into the deep ravine, the inadvertently revealed youthful breath, which made people's eyes shine.
Qin Fen looked at the adventurer's brand on the girl's arm and nodded slightly: "What about Wang Wu?" ”
"The national teacher and Yan Chixia suddenly fought, Brother Wang led people to chase after him, let me come over and lead the way for Boss Qin."
"Okay, let's go."
