Chapter 42: Tricks

Zhao Qingshan was born in the Lu Cai Confucius Temple, and the origin of this temple itself has many advantages, one of which is his familiarity with ancient Chinese culture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu cuisine is the only original cuisine in China, and its development source can be directly traced back to the era of Zhou Tianzi, in which the dishes are developed from the dishes of sacrifices and ceremonial feasts.

There is a saying in the Confucius Palace, saying that there must be a ceremony when there is wine, there must be a sacrifice if there is a ceremony, and there must be a feast if there is a sacrifice, which vividly reflects the cultural connotation and heritage of Lu cuisine.

And Zhao Qingshan, who was born in a family, integrated those connotations into himself, so that his dishes were integrated with Confucianism and Zhou ritual sacrifices.

Therefore, Zhao Qingshan has a deep understanding of Shinto, form, and other sacrificial doorways, and he can also see at a glance whether the underground shrine Shinto is for the dead or for the living.

Since it is a straight path of God that people walk, then according to his understanding, the ancients must have a way to open the two heavy stone doors, otherwise there should be decorations such as altar tablets in front of the door.

"So, this gate can still be passed?" Lei Aniu suddenly asked Zhao Qingshan.

"Yes, and there is a mechanism, but this mechanism ......" Zhao Qingshan shook his head, indicating that he couldn't guess.

The cold wind is cold, and there is no way to enter the ground. Just when Zhao Qingshan was at a loss, the Yin Nineteen stood up, dismantled the firefly hemp pole lantern in his hand, and released all the insects inside that were about to die of suffocation.

As soon as the hemp stem broke, two or three small insects that were still alive suddenly regained their freedom, and the star-like insects quickly flew out, flying in the air and drifting into green spots.

Looking at Yin Nineteen's incomprehensible movements, Lei Aniu stopped doing it first, and he asked the middle school student in surprise: "Hey, hey, don't let it go, if we can't pass this stone gate, we have to go back, without the lantern, we will be blind." ”

"But, they're also fate!" Yin Nineteen sighed in amazement after releasing the fire fireflies: "If you hold back, they will all die, and death is terrible." You haven't died, you won't understand. ”

"Cut!" Lei Niu waved his hand and said, "...... He spoke the words of a bodhisattva as if you had died. You students, you have fought and you will understand that the lives of our people are not much stronger than those fireflies. ”

When Yin Nineteen and Lei Ah Niu were arguing, Zhao Qingshan had been pondering, he stared at those fireflies gradually moving away, and watched those insects land on the stone statue near the Shinto.

The fluorescence of the flying insects floated across the stone statue's face, reflecting the eerie distortion of the ghostly faces with their heads tilted sideways, and at the same time, it also made Zhao Qingshan have an idea.

Zhao Qingshan slapped his head, stood up suddenly, and then shouted as if he had solved a great problem: "I know what to do! These stone statues are not in the right shape, the position of the head!"

While speaking, Zhao Qingshan hurriedly told everyone the mystery of these beast head statues.

It turned out that Zhao Qingshan had been to Kong Lin and many famous dojo holy tombs, and he had seen countless statues of gods who were living and dead standing on the road, but no matter where he saw the statues, his head was straight and his eyes were straight, and he had never seen a side face facing each other.

The stone statue should not have its face sideways, because the ancients believed that the "god lord" with the back of the head facing the tomb and the sacrifice was disrespectful to the owner of the sacrifice and burial, and the back of the head was facing the person who came to the sacrifice, which was disrespectful to the person who came to worship.

In short, no matter which side the head is bent, it is disrespectful to the sacrificer and the sacrificed, and it is a very taboo thing, and once this happens, it may mean ......

Zhao Qingshan's thoughts came, so he followed his own steps and walked over to the pig-headed statue first.

He took out his family heirloom kitchen knife, and after a few slight knocks on the statue by the light of fireflies, he listened intently to the sound coming from inside the stone statue.

Then his face changed slightly.

"The inside of the statue is empty! Zhao Qingshan suddenly reached out and turned the head of the stone statue again.

With the strength of Zhao Qingshan's arm, the head of the stone statue was indeed as he expected, and it was able to rotate.

At the same time, the entire stone statue's abdomen emitted a dull, moving sound that reached everyone's ears.

Among the four, the half-blind man with the sharpest ears was delighted when he heard this, and first said: "There is a door! This stone statue has an empty stomach and a gear mechanism! But ......."

Wu was half-blind before he finished speaking, and was ...... by Zhao Qingshan's fluctuating stones Suddenly stopped turning.

Immediately afterward, a blocking force was rapidly transmitted along with the sound of mechanical agitation inside the stone statue, and at the same time as the sound stopped, a series of "whooshing" arrows immediately sounded in the eyes of the wide pig's head!

Under the reflection of the light of the fireflies, countless slender black shadows flew indiscriminately, accompanied by the rapid rotation of the pig's head, and launched towards Zhao Qingshan and everyone standing on the Divine Dao.

"Crossbow! Nonsense!" the half-blind man Wu, who was the first to realize the danger, quickly shouted, and hid behind a statue.

Although Lei Aniu and Zhao Qingshan reacted slowly, one was a veteran Youzi who was good at surviving in a desperate situation, and the other was the abbot of the Master's Palace, and the two of them had no worries about their lives.

When the avatar shot an arrow, Zhao Qingshan immediately drew his knife, smashed the two stainless steel dark crossbows that flew at him with his swift knife skills and precise arm strength, and then turned around and pulled Lei Ah Niu beside him to jump, and also reached the dead end of a stone statue.

With his back against the stone statue, Zhao Qingshan had no worries, originally with his skills, as long as he protected his chest, and when the arrows in the crossbow machine were all fired, he would be able to escape the catastrophe.

But at this time, Zhao Qingshan did not sit and wait for the catastrophe, but after settling down Lei Aniu, he turned around and left, running towards the middle school student Yin Nineteen.

This choice is no different from jumping into a fire pit.

Unlike Lei Aniu, who was close to her, Yin Nineteen Station was far away from Zhao Qingshan, and she was not a person in the rivers and lakes, so she was very poor, so although she also reacted, she couldn't avoid those mechanical dark arrows at all.

When Zhao Qingshan settled down Lei's Ah Niu, this unlucky student had already been shot in the right shoulder by a crossbow arrow, and there seemed to be faint blood stains even on his lower abdomen.

In the midst of her crying, she was completely incapacitated.

The worst thing was that the golem's rotating head was already facing her direction, and between its wings, it shot a series of dark steel iron arrows all over her body.

Zhao Qingshan was born with a narrow heart, and was deeply influenced by the Master's Hall and Hongmen, so he carved the four words of holding on to danger into his bones.

Seeing that Yin Nineteen was about to die, Zhao's husband didn't think about it, so he held hands to save him.

The body flowed, Zhao Qingshan once again stepped out of the light skill "swallow sticky" that he had practiced since he was a child, stepping on the soil was popular, slashing dark arrows, like swallows piercing willows, like harriers turning over, blocking fifteen or sixteen dark arrows shooting at Yin Nineteen in the air, and then hugged the middle school student and rolled back to the nearby stone statue.

Zhao Qingshan's reaction was fast enough, but when people go to save people, they inevitably have scruples in their hearts, and once they have scruples, this figure will be a little muddy and watery.

Because of the slowness, Zhao Qingshan, who often walks by the river, finally got his shoes wet. (To be continued.) )
