Chapter 201: The Five Elements of Fire Claim (I)
Overbearing! This is the feeling that any member of the Divine Domain will definitely have after reading the above text introduction! For example, Chen Sheng in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", killing an object such as the Eight Masters of the Demon Gate, can obtain 1 D-rank elemental gem. The strength of the eight masters of the Demon Gate is judged by the Divine Domain system, which is about a 5-star peak, or a 6-star medium or high level. Such as You Bird Tired, Zuo Youxian and the like, Chen Sheng is not troublesome to kill. However, in order to obtain a C-rank elemental gem, it is necessary to target the three strongest grandmasters in the world, such as Bi Xuan, Fu Cailin, and Ning Daoqi, who are about 7-star beginner to intermediate masters.
Although since the "Battle of Qianyang" with Bi Xuan, Chen Sheng has devoted himself to hard cultivation in the past few years, and his strength has improved again, but there is still a thin line between him and the 7-star level. It is very difficult to obtain a C-rank elemental gem. But now, as long as you put a D-grade elemental gem into this golden gourd, there is actually a one percent chance that it can be upgraded to C-grade? Although there is only a 1 percent chance and you can only try to improve once, there is no doubt that it is enough to make a lot of people crazy too!
The Golden Gourd Horse Mark is just one of the four mission items in this team battle mission, and it already has such a domineering attribute. It is conceivable that the other three items must also have their own wonderful effects, which are enough to be compared with the golden gourd and not inferior. Miaofa Village is far away in the Benzheng Temple in the Three Rivers Country, and the three left characters of Zong Sanzuo have fallen into the hands of the Desert Eagle Regiment, and what their attributes are are still unknown for the time being. But Oda Nobunaga's "Yongraku Tongbao Military Banner" is right in front of you. What kind of means should I use to get my hands on it?
While he was muttering, suddenly, a maid walked into the room with a wooden plate, greeted Chen Sheng, and then put the plate down and placed it in front of his guest. When I looked closely, it turned out to be chazuke.
Chazuke. As the name suggests, it is rice that is soaked in hot tea. During the Warring States Period, Japanese samurai usually liked to eat hot tea and rice when they were marching and fighting, which was convenient and quick, and could satisfy hunger and refresh in the shortest possible time. For this reason, this chazuke is called "samurai food". When Oda Nobunaga and his father-in-law Saito Michizo met, the two sons-in-law looked at each other while eating chazuke.
The preparation of chazuke can be very simple or slightly more complicated. To put it simply, there are only four ingredients: cold rice, tea, salt, and hot water. But this kind of eating is only done when you are in a hurry when you are fighting. Right now, it's serving guests in Kiyoshu Castle, the base camp of the Owari Oda family, so naturally it's a little more exquisite. So in addition to the above four ingredients, there are also dried plums, seaweed, and two slices of salmon meat.
This salmon was caught from Ise Bay in Owari Province. After the fish is beaten, the internal organs are removed, the scales are scraped, the meat is removed, and the fish is sliced. The salmon fillets are then salted on both sides. To serve, put a little oil in the pan, add the salmon, fry until golden brown on both sides, remove and put on top of the rice. Then cut the seaweed into strips with clean scissors, put it in a bowl and spread it on top of the rice, add a few drops of soy sauce, and put the dried plums on top and add a little cooked sesame seeds. If you like, you can also add green mustard. After that, pour in the hot tea, mix well and eat.
Such a bowl of tea and rice is light, refreshing, warm to the stomach, fresh in taste, can get rid of greasy and consume food, and is more colorful, flavorful. After the maid left, Chen Sheng picked up the rice bowl with chopsticks and ate it with a sigh, which was quite pleasant.
Of course, although Chazuke tastes pretty good, in the final analysis, it is at most a level of instant food such as Master Kong's instant noodles. At best, it is free of preservatives and additives, and it is healthy and natural. However, during Japan's Sengoku period, only daimyo lords like Oda Nobunaga were able to eat chazuke regularly. Ordinary peasants, and even low-ranking samurai, often couldn't afford to eat if they wanted to.
Not to mention the 21st century in later generations, even in the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the sea, as long as a slightly more solid medium-sized family can eat rice regularly. Rich people such as landlords and gentry had so many kinds of delicacies on the table that they were enough to teach the Japanese emperor and shogun to be stunned and completely unbelievable.
After half an hour, a large bowl of chazuke was eaten clean by Chen Sheng. He put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and sighed in satisfaction. I was about to get up and move. Suddenly, I heard a monotonous sound of "tuk~tuk~" coming from far and near. Not long after, I saw two people walking along the corridor in the city, one after the other. The man at the head was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slightly dark complexion, delicate eyebrows, but a simple young man with a simple expression. The man behind him, with one hand on the young man's shoulder, and the other hand took a bamboo cane, and walked on the ground. but he was blind.
The blind man wore a square scarf on his head and a green cloth robe, dressed as a Tang man. Although the clothes are old, the temperament is self-contained. If it weren't for the two tricks, a pair of eye sockets would be extremely gloomy and extremely terrifying, and they would almost be called handsome. It is conceivable that when he was young, before his eyes were broken, he must have been a worldly and beautiful son. But I don't know if it's because he's blind now, but now his eyebrows are cold and indifferent, without joy or anger.
The blind man was blind, but the boy could see clearly. He glanced at Chen Shengju sitting in the room, immediately turned back to the blind man, and whispered, "Mr. Ning, it's here." Then he took the initiative to stop.
Blind people have been blind for a long time, so they focus on exercising their sense of hearing, replacing their eyes with their ears, and their sensitivity is often better than that of people with perfect shili. In fact, he didn't need to be reminded by the young man to know that there was someone in the room. Not only are there people, but they are also rare masters in life. But in his ears he heard the sound of breathing long and long, as if there was nothing. If it weren't for the cultivation of the inner family qigong to reach an extremely high and profound realm, it would never be like this.
The blind man was immediately awe-inspired. With a gentle push of his hand, he pushed the young man to the side, then arched his hand and said lightly: "It's not empty in Xia Ning." I don't know which master is coming? In front of Lord Oda, you call yourself Ning's old acquaintance. But the cultivation of the driving is so high, among the people Ning has seen in his life, only two or three people can be compared. But it was clear that he wasn't either of the two or three. Didn't ask for a high name? ”
Chen Sheng casually tied the golden gourd around his waist and tied it with a belt. Then he stood up and returned the salute with his fists. Said: "Under Chen Sheng." Mr. Jiu Yangning is famous, but he has never had the opportunity to meet. I just spoke like that in front of Lord Oda, just to avoid trouble, so I did this right and right plan. If there is anything offended, please forgive Mr. Ning. After a pause, he said, "The two or three people that Mr. Ning just mentioned must be the Lord of the West City, the King of the East Island, and the heirs of King Kong, right?" Well, that King Kong heir is really very powerful. But I don't know how the other two compare to them? Hehe, it's really fascinating to think about. ”
Ning Bukong's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said lightly: "Oh, the honorable driver has actually met the King Kong heir?" I don't know when? ”
Chen Sheng said in a deep voice: "It was last night." The King Kong heir intends to help the lord of Suruga Province, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and sends troops to attack Owari. Since Mr. Ning is the mastermind of the lord of Oda, this news must not be insignificant. Be careful. ”
Ning Bukong nodded, and said "um~" softly, but there was not much nervousness between his eyebrows. Said calmly: "Ning assisted Oda Nobunaga to exterminate his relatives and unify Owari. He also taught him to go to Kyoto to meet the shogun and obtain the name of righteousness. Then help him sort out the domestic law, so that the national power of Owari will gradually become stronger. This kind of measures have been taken one by one, and in the past two years, Imagawa Yoshimoto has been on his side, and he must have been restless in the morning.
Taking advantage of the fact that Owari's strength has not yet been fully integrated, he poured the power of the three kingdoms under his command to march westward and eliminate this great trouble, which was originally the best choice for Imagawa Yoshimoto. Otherwise, in two years, it won't be him who will attack Owari, but Owari who will attack him. Hehe~ Imagawa Yoshimoto thinks he is clever, how can the knight escape from Ning's expectations? ”
He paused, and then said: "But the Venerable can work tirelessly and come all the way to inform this matter, no matter what, Ning and the Lord of Oda have also accepted this favor." It's a pity that we are alone in a foreign land as strangers, and Owari is about to fight, but I can't get much money to reward him. ”
Chen Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Gold and silver treasures, in the eyes of my generation, are just like dung. What's more, it's just a piece of news, it's just a handy effort, it's nothing. Mr. Ning doesn't have to be so polite. ”
Ning Bukong said lightly: "Kindness does not expect to be reciprocated, it is respectful and generous, and Ning admires it." But those of us who have been blessed must not take this for granted. Receiving the grace of people's dripping water, he should be reciprocated by a spring. If this were not the case, wouldn't outsiders regard Lord Oda and me Ning as mean and unkind? From now on, who else is willing to work for Lord Oda and Ning? Therefore, although the honorable driver is generous, we still have to report the grace of this summons. Please come with Ning. Ning has one thing, please take a look. After seeing it, I felt that the trip was worthwhile. ”
Chen Sheng just said one more thing casually, and he really had no intention of asking for credit and reward. smiled at the moment: "Mr. Ning is kind, Chen understands it." What to repay, I really don't need it. However, I want to meet Zaijian, the lord of Oda, and just pass it on to Mr. Lao Ning. ”
Ning Bukong said: "Don't think that Ning is perfunctory to you." The things that Ning wanted to show to the honorable driver were not trivial. Among them, it is related to a big secret that is invincible in the world. ”
