Chapter 25: The Past (I)
The water in the hot pot is rootless water, and the base ingredients are all high-quality herbs, plus the liver and gallbladder of the middle-grade Xuan Beast, and then accompanied by the best peppercorns and chili peppers. This pot base is also the best hot pot that ordinary people can hardly eat. Mo said that there are other treasures such as Longhu fairy lotus, purple bamboo shoots and so on. As Zhang Yigui said, this pot of hot pot is definitely worth the price.
"Eat, eat, eat some of the liver and gallbladder of these mysterious beasts first, it's very nourishing. Zhang Yigui said.
Su Yu and Xi Yan were naturally not polite, and said, "Thank you, uncle." And he feasted. Seeing that they were eating fragrantly, Zhang Yigui added some Longhu Immortal Lotus, and said, "This was given to me by Zhuge Qin ten years ago, and it should be okay to preserve." You eat a little more, and if you eat this thing, it will be good for you. ”
"Yes, thank you uncle, you can eat too, you're welcome. ”
Zhang Shigui laughed and ate slowly, mainly watching them eat.
The Longhu Immortal Lotus grows in the Qinglong Lake, and the Qinglong Lake is within the jurisdiction of the Qinglong Hall. There is a waterfall next to Qinglong Lake, which resembles a flying dragon spitting water, and it is the entrance of the mountain gate of Longmen Phantom Mansion again, so it is called Longmen Waterfall. In Qinglong Lake, there is a kind of magical lotus, the lotus blooms once in ten years, and when the lotus blooms, it is fragrant within a thousand miles.
The flowering period is one year, and after one year, the lotus root is ripe, and the people of Qinglong Lake will go down to pick the lotus root and then distribute it to everyone. Qinglong Lake is so big and deep that every time you go down to pick lotus roots, someone will drown. On weekdays, there will also be disciples who quietly go into the water, wanting to pick some lotus roots to eat themselves, but one after another, drowning accidents, gradually, fewer and fewer people dare to go down to Qinglong Lake. Only when the fairy lotus root is ripe will someone go down.
"You kid, you think too much a day, and you love to do things that others dare not do, which is a good thing and not a good thing. I'm an uncle who advises you, don't go to Qinglong Lake to play in the water, you know?" Zhang Yigui said solemnly.
Su Yuxin said, why don't I believe in evil, I have to play when I have the opportunity. But he said: "Uncle Shi can rest assured, cherish life, everyone is responsible." I'll take good care of myself, thank you for the reminder. ”
Zhang Yigui nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Longhu Xianlian had finished eating, he put the purple bamboo shoots in the pot again.
In the vicinity of Suzaku Hall, there is a purple bamboo forest, where the purple bamboo is purple all over, and the top of the bamboo forest is surrounded by purple gas all year round. An adult purple bamboo, which can grow up to 100 meters tall and has a thick thigh for adults, is definitely the king of bamboo.
Purple bamboo shoots are very rare, a hundred-acre bamboo forest, less than 100 bamboo shoots are produced every year. Bamboo shoots are bred from the essence of adult purple bamboo, which is rich in nutrients and has high medicinal value. However, because purple bamboo is very precious, and bamboo shoots are so scarce, it is strictly forbidden to dig bamboo shoots without permission.
"My young purple bamboo shoot was given to me by my master, and it has been preserved for almost 30 years. ”
When Su Yu and Xi Yan heard this, they put down the purple bamboo shoots that were ready to be eaten again, and said, "Such a precious baby, Uncle Shi, we can't eat it anymore." These things should be kept, maybe they can save people's lives in the future. ”
Zhang Yigui said with a smile: "Boy, these things are very beneficial to you, I heard that you have a big gamble with others." ”
Su Yu put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Uncle Shi, on the way to practice, pill supplements are the key, but self-cultivation is the most important thing." These precious medicines, so scarce, should be used in urgent places, and should not be wasted on me. ”
Zhang Yigui repeatedly bearded and laughed, but his smile suddenly condensed again, and a pair of eyes stared at Su Yu tightly, carefully examining it. Su Yu was furious by what he looked at, and unconsciously twisted his head to the side. Zhang Yigui shouted: "Don't move. Su Yu was puzzled, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to face Zhang Yigui and let him watch.
"Like, it's too similar...... Zhang Yigui said to himself: "Not only does it look alike, but it also looks like a lot of people." ”
"Uncle Shi, what is it like?" asked Xi Yan.
"Like a person, especially between the eyebrows, it's very like. When Zhang Yigui spoke, his eyes were a little moist, as if he remembered someone. And this person seems to be a person he respects and misses very much.
"Uncle Shi, what's wrong with you?" Su Yu asked, "Did you think of something?"
"yes, I remembered an old man......"
"Uncle Shi, take the liberty of asking, can you tell us about this person, is this person related to me?" Su Yu asked.
Zhang Yigui's eyes suddenly became hollow, and after a while, he suddenly muttered: "I know, I see, no wonder the senior brother is furious, because he is afraid that you will follow the old path of that person, hey, I understand......"
Su Yu and Xi Yan looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little scared, feeling a cold wind, and a cold current poured into their bodies.
"Uncle Shi, what is the matter, can you tell us about it?" Xiyan said with a little pleading.
"This is the secret of my Dragon Gate Phantom Mansion, but it doesn't hurt to talk to you two. Zhang Yigui said: "I told you two that the main reason is to warn you, this kid, that you must restrain yourself in the future and don't make mistakes." ”
Su Yu was confused, but still nodded and responded.
Zhang Yigui nodded, and suddenly reprimanded Li Xiaohei and the four of them loudly, telling them to stay away, the four of them were inexplicable, but they didn't dare to speak, they said well, and went to the side. Then he asked softly, "Do you two know about the demons?"
When Su Yu heard this, he suddenly shuddered, remembering the words of the old man in the ring, he said that he had the black magic Dafa of the demon clan in his body. Could it be that Master wants to lock me up because of this? Could it be that I am also related to the demon race?
The demon clan lives on the southwest border of Shenzhou, where miasma surrounds it, and outsiders can't enter, but it has become the joy of everyone in the demon race*. Due to the fact that there are many sects in the Shenzhou Continent and there are masters like clouds, the demons rarely come to the Shenzhou Continent. The most important thing is that between the southwest border and the Shenzhou Continent, there is a pass that prevents the demons from entering the Shenzhou Continent.
This pass is the world-famous Fulong Pass, and the Longmen Phantom Mansion is on the Fulong Pass.
"I know, all the people of the demon clan are demons, and our Longmen Phantom Mansion is their natural enemy. Xi Yan said.
"Not bad. I, the Longmen Phantom Mansion, guarded the danger, let the demon clan lie dormant in the southwest border and did not dare to move, for hundreds of years, there has been nothing wrong. It's just that twenty-five years ago, something changed. Back then, there was a group of masters on the rivers and lakes, who killed righteous people and killed women, and they would do anything that lost their conscience. Not only that, but they also left a handwriting: All the demons greet the heroes of the Shenzhou Continent. How can we endure such arrogance and arrogance?
In the end, the Holy Lord of the Supreme Imperial City passed down the Holy Lord Order, and our Longmen Phantom Mansion, Xuantian Sword Pavilion, and Luoshen Palace were responsible for killing this group of demon masters. Over the course of two years, our three factions slaughtered more than half of the group, and the other half fled back to the southwestern frontier.
After driving away the demons, the Holy Lord of the Supreme Imperial City sent Luo Shiyou, the general of the Supreme Imperial City, to the Longmen Phantom Mansion to ask us about it, saying that we did not guard the Fulong Pass, which caused the invasion of the demons, let us examine ourselves!"
When Su Yu and Xi Yan heard this, they were both indignant, drove away the demons, and still wanted to ask for the crime, what is the reason?!
Zhang Yigui said: "Don't find a scapegoat, how can the Holy Lord of the Supreme Imperial City explain to the people of the world? The demon clan invaded the Shenzhou Continent and took our Fulong Pass, which is the closest road, and it is also the most likely road. It is said that two hundred years ago, the demon clan once broke through the Fulong Pass with a knife and a hard gun, entered the Shenzhou Continent, and raged for a long time. ”
"I'm afraid that Fulong Pass is not the only path. Su Yu said.
