Chapter Ninety-Seven: Delicious Disaster
Hearing the words of laughing at Lei Zi, Ji Qiu had the heart to cry, "Sixth Senior Brother, can you help me find a mount first, and then go to the Purple Bamboo Forest to find the bamboo pheasant when the business is done?"
"Can't you see that I'm confident?"
Ji Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't see that you were confident, I only saw that you had a pheasant." ”
"Just believe me, I have my own plans. Xiao Leizi said.
Ji Qiu can't do anything by himself, where to go depends on Xiao Leizi's mind, the three-legged golden toad is also Xiao Leizi, where Xiao Leizi goes, he can only follow.
Ji Qiu already had a spiritual void cultivation at this time, and he could see clearly at night, and after half a pillar of incense, he found that there was an abandoned city under the forest, but it was covered by giant trees, and he couldn't see it very really.
"Sixth Senior Brother, how can there be a city in the Cave State?" asked Ji Qiu.
"Why can't there be a city in Juguo Prefecture?" Xiao Leizi asked casually.
"Didn't you say that the Cave Prefecture is an alien territory?" Ji Qiu said.
"Can't aliens build cities?"
Seeing that Xiao Leizi didn't speak well, Ji Qiu didn't ask, Xiao Leizi was anxious to go to hunt for the bamboo pheasant, so he instructed the three-legged golden toad to fly quickly, and a purple bamboo forest appeared faintly in front of the third watch, this bamboo forest is located in the flat area between the two mountain peaks, with a radius of about ten miles.
When he got closer, Ji Qiu Fang found that this bamboo forest was very different from ordinary bamboo forests, the thickest ordinary bamboo was only the thickness of the bowl, and these purple bamboos could be seen everywhere, and the height was higher than ordinary bamboo, and the highest foot was more than ten zhang.
In this kind of place, the three-legged golden toad can not fly, and can only land from the edge of the bamboo forest.
Because the speed of the three-legged golden toad was too fast, Ji Qiu didn't see what it rolled back, and it wasn't until it spit out its long tongue again that Ji Qiu saw that the three-legged golden toad rolled into its mouth was a purple poisonous snake.
"Sixth Senior Brother, there are snakes. Ji Qiu hurriedly reminded.
"This thing is called Bamboo Leaf Purple, and it is more poisonous than the Bamboo Leaf Green, so be careful, don't be bitten by it. Xiao Leizi walked towards the bamboo forest, and after walking a few steps, he didn't see Ji Qiu coming up, so he stopped and turned around, beckoning and urging, "Hurry up." ”
Ji Qiu was about to follow, but found that the three-legged golden toad spit out its long tongue again, and rolled back a poisonous snake from not far away, there were three poisonous snakes in this Zhang Xu Fang, and there must be more poisonous snakes in the bamboo forest, Ji Qiu retreated, "Sixth Senior Brother, I won't go in, stay here and wait for you." ”
"Okay, you can find some dried bamboo leaves, dig a fire pit, and wait for me to come back. Xiao Leizi said.
Ji Qiu nodded in agreement, and watched Xiao Leizi go to the depths of the bamboo forest.
When Xiaoleizi walked away, Ji Qiu pulled out a long knife and cut a thin bamboo, and used a bamboo pole to move the fallen leaves from a close place, where people are inaccessible, and a thick layer of dead leaves fell under the forest.
Because his spirit has been tense, Ji Qiu took precautions, and when he saw the poisonous snake jumping out, he picked it up with a bamboo pole and threw it away.
Seeing Ji Qiu throwing poisonous snakes, the three-legged golden toad spit out its long tongue and rolled it up in the air, pulling it back to swallow.
Seeing that the three-legged golden toad reacted so quickly, Ji Qiu was very interesting, so he deliberately looked for it, and when he found it, he picked the three-legged golden toad, no matter whether he threw it high or low, left or right, the three-legged golden toad could catch it accurately.
The poisonous snake in the vicinity was gone, so Ji Qiu went to the bamboo forest, and did not go to the dense bamboo area, but only picked the wide area, and did not go far, just walked around the circle.
As the saying goes, people miss their hands and horses lose their hooves, the three-legged golden toad finally missed, not that it was not caught, but that it did not have time to catch it, Ji Qiu threw out two poisonous snakes one after another, the first three-legged golden toad caught it, but the second one it didn't have time to catch, the poisonous snake flew straight towards the face door, fell on its head, a mouth, and bit its nose.
The golden toad was in pain, croaked, jumped, flew up, and went far away.
Seeing this, Ji Qiu secretly said badly, if he bitten the three-legged golden toad to death, his sin would be great.
But after thinking about it, it should be fine, the so-called nothing has two meanings, one is that he is fine, he can not admit it, and the toad can't speak to complain, so it is said that it was accidentally bitten. The second is that the three-legged golden toad is fine, since Xiao Leizi dares to leave it at the edge of the bamboo forest, he is naturally not worried that it will be bitten by poisonous snakes, maybe it is just a pain from the bite, and he will come back after going out for a walk.
It had rained in this area before, and the dry leaves were only a thin layer in the middle, and it was hard to find some, and according to the explanation of Xiao Leizi before, he dug a pit from the ground, and it was already four watches after doing this, and he was a little sleepy after a tiring day, but there were many poisonous snakes here, and he didn't dare to sleep, so he could only beat his spirit and wait for Xiao Leizi to return.
It turned out that the three-legged golden toad was not invasive, at least it was not afraid of snake venom, and it didn't take long for it to come back, lying on the ground, waiting for Xiao Leizi to return with Ji Qiu.
Although Ji Qiu didn't know the specific location of Xiao Leizi, he could roughly judge what area he was in based on the night birds that flew up.
At first, he thought that Xiao Leizi would come back soon, but he didn't think that he would wait until dawn for Xiao Leizi to return late, and he didn't see him bring back a big prey, but he was holding a bamboo tube half a foot long and the thickness of a bowl.
"Come on, come on, light the fire quickly. Xiao Leizi urged excitedly.
"Caught?" asked Ji Qiu.
Xiao Leizi didn't answer, but shook the bamboo tube in his hand, and there was a crisp and subtle bird call from the bamboo tube, according to the call, not one, but many.
"Is the bamboo pheasant small?" asked Ji Qiu.
"No bigger than a sparrow. Xiao Leizi said.
"There's not a lot of meat. Ji Qiu took out the fire fold and began to light the fire.
Xiao Leizi showed disdain, "What do you know, as the saying goes, I'd rather eat a bite of a fairy peach, not half a basket of rotten apricots, this bamboo pheasant only drinks bamboo leaves and dew, only eats bamboo flowers and bamboo rice, and even clean and fresh things, especially the dragon liver and phoenix marrow." ”
Since the two are of the same generation, Ji Qiu's words don't need to be too restrained, and he muttered, "It's the same as if you've eaten dragon liver and phoenix marrow." ”
"Hehe, how do you know I haven't eaten it?"
Seeing that the fire had started, Xiao Leizi put the bamboo tube under the soil pit and prepared to cover it with bamboo leaves.
"Just burn like that?" Ji Qiu asked.
Xiao Leizi nodded.
"How cruel is it to be burned alive?" Ji Qiu said.
Xiao Leizi shook his head and said, "It's not burned, this thing can't see fire, it's only steamed with heat for half an hour, when the feathers will melt away, the intestines will become juice, and the meat and bones will be crispy......"
"It's cruel. Ji hated and couldn't bear it.
Hearing Ji Qiu's words, seeing his compassionate expression again, Lei Zi pouted and said, "You haven't eaten those three animals and six animals, have you ever thought that they will also suffer from the pain of beheading, bloodletting, skinning and deboning before they enter your mouth?"
Ji Qiu was speechless.
Xiao Leizi covered the bamboo tube with bamboo leaves, set it on fire, and at the same time said, "Everything in the world has a fate, and no one is exempt from killing in the world, and no one in my Dao Sect is exempt from it, as long as you abide by the six precepts of not eating." ”
"What is the six non-eating?" asked Ji Qiu casually.
"The dog of great loyalty does not eat, the black fish of great filial piety does not eat, the cow of great goodness does not eat, the wild goose of great chastity does not eat, the pregnant child does not eat, and the brood does not eat, this is the six do not eat. Xiao Leizi explained casually.
At this time, the bamboo pheasant in the bamboo tube was already screaming from the heat, and Ji was so angry that he couldn't bear it, so he begged each other with good words, "Sixth Senior Brother, you better kill them, don't let them suffer that crime." ”
"If you are shocked to death by aura, you will lose your fresh breath. Xiao Leizi said.
"If you want to torture them like this, when you go back, I will tell Senior Brother Thunder that you have mutilated living beings and killed evil in vain. "Ji Qiu threatened.
"Oh?" laughed at Leizi and tilted his head to look at him.
"I'll really say it. Ji Qiu Zhengse said.
Xiao Leizi was helpless, so he had to shake the bamboo pheasant inside to death through the bamboo tube, "Okay, okay, as you wish, have a good time with them." ”
This time he came out to submit the mount, Ji Qiu was worried about business, so he asked, "Sixth Senior Brother, how long do you have to steam?"
"Half an hour," said Xiao Leizi, "neither more nor less, and then we will take it out and eat it in the sky." ”
"Why do you want to eat in the sky?" Ji Qiu was puzzled.
"The wife is beautiful and the wall is short, and the threshold for family wealth is low," Xiao Leizi said with a smile, "Good things are always easy to be remembered, this bamboo pheasant is delicious, and the aroma emitted after steaming can attract all the carnivorous birds and beasts in this radius of hundreds of miles. ”
"Oh," Ji Qiu yawned, "Sixth Senior Brother, you can make your own fire, and I'll sleep for a while." ”
Xiao Leizi nodded.
Maybe he just fell asleep, or he may not have fallen asleep yet, but when he was half-asleep, he laughed and shouted, "Hey, hey, get up." ”
"Huh?" Ji Qiu opened his eyes dimly.
"You come to see the fire, I'll go and go back. Xiao Leizi said.
"Why are you going?" asked Ji Qiu.
"There is a monk of this sect who is in trouble, and he folded a bamboo slip for help, I will go over and take a look. Xiao Leizi said.
"Don't leave me here," Ji Qiu hurriedly got up, "I'll go with you." ”
"The bamboo pheasant is not ripe, you stay to watch the fire. Xiao Leizi said.
Ji Qiu shook his head again and again, "I don't look at it, dig it out and take it away." ”
"This thing was not easy to come by, and it was ruined when the fire broke halfway. Xiao Leizi stuffed the burning stick into Ji Qiu's hand, jumped onto the back of the three-legged golden toad, and the three-legged golden toad kicked the ground on its hind legs and rose from the forest to the sky.
"Sixth Senior Brother, how long will it take to burn. Ji Qiu shouted loudly.
Xiao Leizi had already gone far away at this time and did not answer.
Although Ji Qiu is a monk and a member of the Daomen, he is a young man after all, alone in the barren mountains and mountains, he can't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, and he looks around while burning the fire.
Fire can give people a sense of security, to be precise, light can give people a sense of security, in order to drive away fear, Ji Qiu will burn the bonfire very strongly.
Fortunately, it was dawn at this time, and although it was dark, it was not impossible to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.
Just as Ji Qiu gradually relaxed, a sudden muffled sound startled him, and with the muffled sound, the bonfire in front of him also scattered and splashed.
Just when Ji Qiu was in shock, he suddenly smelled a strange aroma, which was a fragrance that he had never smelled before, refreshing and penetrating the spiritual aura.
When he came back to his senses, Ji Qiu Fang found that the aroma came from the ground, and it turned out that the previous bonfire was too prosperous, and the bamboo tube was burned.
Xiao Leizi really didn't lie, the aroma of this bamboo pheasant is really amazing, pinch one and look at it carefully, as Xiao Leizi said, the feathers of this bamboo pheasant can really fade by themselves after being steamed and roasted.
Just when Ji Qiu was worried about how to explain to Xiao Leizi, a loud crackling sound suddenly came from the depths of the bamboo forest.
Ji Qiu didn't know why, and looked at it suspiciously.
At this moment, a middle-aged man's voice came from his waist, "The person who came is not good, immediately flee away from danger......
