Chapter 25: Mentoring the Dragon (2)

Seeing that the ghost fang's expression was different, the mad dragon looked dazed, and asked: "Ghost Fang, what do you think of this 'braised bear's paw' that the old man likes?" The ghost party bowed, groaned, and said: "Crazy senior, junior has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" The mad dragon smiled: "This child, why are you still so outside, you and Jian Er are both Jinlan brothers, even if they are half of the old man's sons." In the future, you can say whatever you have in the principal's house, just like in your own home. Crazy Jian said with deep thought: "Big brother, don't hide it anymore, you can say whatever you want, even if you say something that offends my father, I believe that my father will not care about you as a junior." Ghost Fang was grateful for the deep affection of the mad father and son, so he said without hesitation: "Senior, as far as the younger generation knows, there is an unwritten rule in the Zhongtian Empire and even the entire Southern Netherworld Continent: no one is allowed to hunt or resell rare wild animals. Tigers, bears, sables, lynxes, elephants, sika deer, swans, golden eagles, red-crowned cranes, and so on are all key objects of protection, but what is the matter with the 'braised bear's paws' on this long case? Could it be that there is really such a saying that 'if you can't be courteous to a commoner, you can't punish a doctor'?" His voice was calm and his expression was humble, but there was a majesty in his tone, and as soon as his words fell, the entire Ji Canteen Hall also fell silent at once. Crazy Jian originally thought that the ghost party was about the dish in the end, but he didn't expect him to use the dish "braised bear paw" to question the crazy dragon, he glanced at the crazy dragon again, and saw that the crazy dragon looked solemn and silent, and couldn't help but worry about the ghost party.

At this moment, the wild dragon suddenly laughed a few times, breaking the quiet and tense situation in the Ji Dining Hall, only to see him point to the "braised bear paw" on the long table, and said with a smile: "The reason why the old man likes this dish is because it has the delicacy of a bear's paw, but it is not a bear's paw. Crazy Jane and Ghost Fang were at a loss, but when they saw that the "braised bear paw" on the long case, it was clearly made of bear paws. The mad dragon looked at the two of them, smiled, and said, "Actually, this is just a piece of taro." Crazy Jian carefully observed left and right, and said disapprovingly: "Dad, the thing on this plate is clearly a bear's paw, how can it be taro?" Ghost Fang picked up the chopsticks and inserted the bear's paw, which was smooth and unobstructed, and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew carefully, and suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I understand, there are muscles and bones in the bear's paw, but there is nothing in this bear's paw, which shows that it is not a real bear's paw; This chef's cooking skills are truly extraordinary, and it can be said that decay has turned into magic!"

The mad dragon nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are no more than six flavors in the world, namely sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, fragrant, and smelly. The flavors of the dishes created by these six extremes are ever-changing, so even if it's cabbage, radish, potatoes, mushrooms, celery, or any kind of vegetable, you can create the flavor you want. Therefore, it is easy to use taro to make this 'braised bear's paw'. The dragon sighed and continued: "Therefore, being a human being is like cooking, the most difficult thing to cook is the degree of grasp, the degree of each flavor is different, and the dishes that are cooked are very different; However, whether you are cooking or being a person, you can't lose your principles, a gentleman does something and doesn't do something, the old man hopes that you will be a gentleman, not a villain. ”

"Dad, don't worry, my eldest brother and I will definitely be strict with ourselves, even if we can't become gentlemen, we will never be villains, let alone do things that lose our principles. "Crazy Jane is right.

The dragon smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

"Big brother, you haven't said it yet, what is your favorite dish?" asked Madjan.

The mad dragon also looked at the ghost side with interest, as if he was about to listen to the ghost side's opinion.

Ghost Fang glanced at the dishes on the long table, sighed, and said, "Senior, virtuous brother, looking at this table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, let alone eating, some of them are even the first time I have seen them in my life, but none of them are my favorite." ”

Crazy Jane looked surprised and puzzled: "Big brother, there are so many dishes that you don't like, so what is your favorite dish?"

"Yes, yes, yes, what is your favorite dish, I'll let the kitchen prepare it for you right away." "Crazy Dragon Road.

Ghost Fang smiled and said, "My favorite is nothing more than a bowl of white rice." ”

"White rice?" the mad father and son both looked dazed.

Ghost Fang's expression was gloomy, and he pondered for a long time, and said: "I have lived in the countryside since I was a child, my family is poor, and I fantasize about being able to eat a bowl of white rice every day, which is a great happiness. Even now, in the face of the delicacies on this table, what I miss most in my heart is the bowl of sweet and delicious white rice that my father saved for me every month, because there is endless love for me in that rice. Later, as I grew up, I also went to prosperous places like Flower City and Wufu City. But what I didn't expect was that the white rice that we once regarded as pearls has become the lowest thing in the eyes of some dignitaries, wasted and wasted at will, and even their pets are disdainful of it. Now, I gradually understand that there are so many delicacies in the world, but they can only meet the needs of a few dignitaries, and what can really fill the stomachs of people in the world is that bowl of white rice that is both ordinary and extraordinary. So, in my mind, no delicious dish can compare to a bowl of white rice. ”

After hearing this, the dragon felt guilty for a while when he thought that the ghost party didn't know that the ghost had just died in his hands, and on the other hand, he felt sincerely relieved by the ghost fang's compassion and compassion.

After eating, the dragon went to the Purgatory Pavilion. The Purgatory Pavilion is the place where the mad dragon cultivates the Heavenly Craft. Crazy Jane took the ghost party to the back garden of the main mansion.

Although the back garden of the main mansion is not as majestic as the imperial garden of the Emperor Zhongtian, it is more than exquisite when it comes to Lingxiu and exquisiteness. The back garden is full of moons, peonies, gardenias, azaleas, spring flowers, smiles, tulips, roses, kapok, etc., all of which are fragrant flowers that bloom in spring. The two walked through a flower path, only to see Qiao pine and bamboo, green and covered the sky, rockeries and strange rocks. At this time, the sound of water was faintly heard, as if coming from behind a high rockery. They follow the secluded path, towards the rockery, the further they go, the more noisy the water gradually becomes, so they step up their pace, bypass the rockery, suddenly feel the cool breeze blowing on the body, only to see a piece of practice like a silver waterfall from the side of the mountain pouring down, into a large pond, the bottom of the pond thinks that there is another drainage channel, is the pond water but not overflowing. And just in the silver waterfall falling, the splash of water but there is an antique octagonal pavilion, the eaves are warped, exquisitely chic. The splash of the silver waterfall fell on the lid of the octagonal pavilion, and then poured down from the top and disappeared in the pool water below the pavilion. The water flows continuously, and there seem to be water curtains hanging around the pavilion, and the water is shining and exquisite.

Crazy Jane and the ghost side walked to the front of the pavilion, and saw a green wood plaque about one foot wide and about three feet long hanging under the eaves of the pavilion, which said "Rain Shelter" three big characters, the pen is exquisite and the ink is wonderful, and the artistic conception is lofty. They passed through the water curtain and saw a bluestone table of eight immortals in the center of the pavilion, and there was a stone bench on each side of the stone table, which was exquisite and exquisite, and very elegant.

Ghost Fang and Crazy Jane sat opposite each other, enjoying the scenery and chatting, which was very interesting. From time to time, the servants brought a few pots of fresh fruits such as new lotus roots, melons, loquats, forest pickles, grapes, and pineapples.

"Brother Xian, this is just a small rockery, why is there a steady stream of water pouring down?"

Crazy Jane smiled and said, "Big brother, you don't know, according to my father, this is a natural rockery, and there was no water pouring down from the top of the mountain at first. Then one day, a dark cave suddenly appeared at the top of the mountain, and a steady stream of water gushed out of the cave, and flew down the mountain, forming a raging silver waterfall. Later, craftsmen built a pond and underground water facilities based on this silver waterfall. After a long time, perhaps because of the abundant water vapor, the back garden is full of strange flowers and beautiful trees, and gradually, it has formed the back garden of the main mansion today. Ghost Fang exclaimed: "Great Creation! Great Creation! Great Creation! What a wonder made in heaven!" Ghost Fang paused, and continued: "Was this rain shelter also built at that time?" Crazy Jian shook his head and said, "This is after my father moved to the main mansion." One day, my father came to the back garden for a walk after finishing his official duties, when he came to the bottom of this waterfall, he looked up, and saw that the waterfall was like a silver flying dragon falling from the sky, under the glow of the sun, it was brilliant, and because of the dense splash that people could not approach, my father had a whim, so he personally designed the drawings and ordered the craftsmen to build this rain shelter. ”

Crazy Jane and Ghost Fang were intoxicated by the scenery of the back garden, and suddenly heard the housekeeper outside the pavilion running over and shouting loudly: "Young master, the master asked you to take the ghost boy to his purgatory pavilion to meet him." ”

"Okay, I see, you go. Crazy Jane replied.

Crazy Jane and Ghost Fang didn't dare to linger long, and walked quickly towards the Purgatory Pavilion.

"Big brother, you're really in good luck!" Madjane exclaimed.

"What do you mean by that?" Ghost Fang looked dazed.

"Big brother, you don't know, the Purgatory Pavilion is a place where my father retreats and cultivates, and no one is allowed to step into it without my father's permission. I've only been there once since I've grown up, and that's what I've begged so hard to get answered. Now, you have only known your father for a few days, and you have the opportunity to enter the Purgatory Pavilion, isn't this a great fortune for the eldest brother?" Crazy Jane raised his eyebrows and said worriedly: "Big brother, when you arrive at the Purgatory Pavilion in a while, you must not move around, there are many mechanisms designed by your father himself, which are to deal with blind intruders, and if you are not careful, you will either die or be injured." ”

The more Ghost Fang listened to Crazy Jane's introduction, the more he felt that this Purgatory Pavilion was extraordinary, and his curiosity arose, and his steps under his feet also sped up a lot.

After a short time, the mad Jane and the ghost side enter the side door, pass the side hall, go around the corridor, suddenly a magnificent construction of the hugging building stands impressively in front of you, the door hangs a purple gold plaque, on which the inscription "Purgatory Pavilion" three big characters, the dragon and the tiger are shocked, the momentum is magnificent. There are also a few lines of small characters inscribed next to it: "Since ancient times, heroes have been tempered, and they have never been young and great men; ”

At the moment when Mad Jane and Ghost Fang pushed open the door of the Purgatory Pavilion, an inexplicable mysterious aura rushed towards them, making people shudder, as if every hair on their bodies stood on end at once.

Although Mad Jane had been to the Purgatory Pavilion, it was many years ago after all, and now that the sea is changing, I don't know how many exquisite mechanisms my father has added to it. I saw that there were no windows on all sides of the Purgatory Pavilion, and there were seven bowl-sized round holes on the top of the treasure, arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and white beams of light shot in from the outside, making the entire Purgatory Pavilion bright. They cautiously walked in, looking left and right, looking forward and backward, for fear that one step would accidentally touch the mechanism in the Purgatory Pavilion, and even if there was no fatality, it was inevitable that there would be damage.

"Daddy...... Predecessor...... Daddy......" Madness Jane and Ghost Fang kept shouting for the dragon. However, except for their voices vibrating back and forth in the Purgatory Pavilion, they never heard the response of the mad dragon.

Just as Ghost Fang and Mad Jian were holding their breath and shouting for the dragon, two figures suddenly flashed out from behind them, approaching them step by step. The two of them were taken aback, and when they turned around, they saw two wooden men with their arms outstretched and attacking them, exclaiming, "Wooden men!" When the wooden men walked up to them, their arms began to fight hard. They hurriedly blocked with their arms, and felt that their arms seemed to collide with two iron rods, and they were in great pain, so they had to dodge as best they could to avoid the attack of the mechmen. At this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in front of the ghost fang, and he remembered the machine wood man in the seventh-level floating slaughter array, so he jumped up suddenly, put his feet together, and kicked hard at the chest of the machine wood man, and with a bang, the machine wood man was still standing intact, but the ghost fang was ejected far away and fell to the ground.

The machine wood people did not have the intention of stopping the attack, and they were forced to the corner of the wall, and they were still tirelessly beating them, but fortunately, these two machine wood people were the same as the machine wood people in the seventh-level floating slaughter array, their arms could not be bent, and they punched the wall as hard as iron, fortunately they were not animals, and they did not have the ability to sense pain. At this moment, Onifang suddenly discovered that the neck of the wooden man was not connected by pure gold, but there must be another connection, so he tried to turn the head of the wooden man back with both hands, but unexpectedly turned it freely, and the wooden man stretched his arms and walked back. Ghost Fang saw that Mad Jian was being surrounded by the wooden man in the corner of the wall, unable to move, so he hurriedly reminded: "Brother Xian, turn its head!" Mad Jian did as he said, and the wooden man immediately slammed it away in the opposite direction.
