Chapter 528: A Different Taste

Previous Chapter

"......"

Feeling that his shoulder was pushed, Xiao Cong came back to his senses and saw that Ouyang Xun was looking at him with inquiring eyes,

"Do you have any dragon tendon vine extract?"

Out of cover-up, Xiao Cong smiled,

"I haven't paid attention to the extract of the dragon tendon vine, what do you want this thing for?"

"The felled wood can't be used directly, the strength and toughness are not enough, and it needs to be treated in a special way, I just have an extremely simple method here, only need to match a paste brush on the wood, but unfortunately I lack the extract of dragon tendon vine. ”

"Heh, I didn't expect that Ouyang Xun, who has always been prepared for anything, also had a time when he was not prepared. ”

Xiao Cong laughed a few times, and was about to drill into Jiang Caijun's mustard when he separated all his spiritual senses, and then heard Ouyang Xun urging:

"Where did you come from so much nonsense, hurry up, or you won't be done before you go to bed tonight. ”

Although this dragon tendon vine was used by Ouyang Xun to mix the kind of paste that increases the strength and hardness of wood, it is actually a rare herb, Jiang Caijun can be regarded as the top alchemist in the Xuanzhen realm back then, Xiao Cong thought that there must be one in his mustard, and sure enough, Jiang Caijun's mustard is not only there, but there are many more, but unfortunately all of them are still fresh dragon tendon vines, and there is no ready-made extract, and Ouyang Xun has to do the extraction work himself.

Xiao Cong flipped his left hand, and a bundle of dragon tendon vines immediately appeared in his hand, handed it to Ouyang Xun, and said with a smile:

"Unfortunately, there is no ready-made extract, you Ouyang is a talented and versatile person, and this little trick of extracting juice is definitely not a problem. ”

Ouyang Xun sighed quietly, took the dragon tendon vine, and complained,

"It's just a waste of time. ”

The smell of meat gradually wafted out of the sheepskin tent, Xiao Cong couldn't help but sniff, was stunned for a moment, and stood up suddenly, which really startled Ouyang Xun who was sitting on the side, and then stood up at a faster speed, took out Fang Tian's painting halberd in parallel, and said with a wary face:

"What's wrong, what's going on again?"

Xiao Cong was sweating profusely, this Ouyang Xun was too nervous, the string in his heart was so tight, even if he was not killed by the enemy, he would be scared to death by himself one day.

"Don't get excited, there's no danger, it's just that I think the smell of Hongxiang's barbecued meat is too fragrant, and I have to take some measures to block him, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble." ”

Ouyang Xun exhaled heavily, and while putting away Fang Tian's halberd, he said:

"I thought something was wrong, it's just such a big fart, is it worth being so surprised? ”

Xiao Cong rolled his eyes and whispered:

"Big farts scare you like this, and talk about people!"

After speaking, he walked around the entire camp and set up a strengthened version of the Hidden Rest Array.

The three of them moved very quickly, and at this moment, they brought back a piece of wood, and when they looked at it, they felt that the section of the wood was a little strange, and after a closer look, they found that it was a fan-shaped, only a quarter of the trunk, and it was estimated that the old tree was too thick, and it was inconvenient for them to move the nebula, so they all divided into four horizontally on the spot and moved back in batches.

Ouyang Xun turned his head to glance at the wood they had brought back, nodded, and then continued to concoct his paste.

Not long after they left, Hongxiang happily ran out of the sheepskin tent with a meat steak in one hand and shouted:

"Come and taste it, the game here is delicious. ”

The taste that can make Hongxiang so excited, it must be the same, although Hongxiang is a beggar, and he has never eaten any top food in the world after following Xiao Cong, but the ingredients and roasting methods used this time are no different from before, Hongxiang has not deliberately improved anything, how can the grilled meat taste different?

Out of curiosity, Xiao Cong tore off a piece of meat steak and put it in his mouth to chew carefully, he didn't know if he tasted it, he was startled when he tasted it, the meat roasted by Hongxiang this time was indeed too delicious, no wonder this kid was so excited.

Hongxiang came to Xiao Cong's side first, Ouyang Xun was closest to Xiao Cong, Hongxiang naturally wanted to let him rank second, but Ouyang Xun was busy preparing his secret paste, and he didn't have time to taste Hongxiang's masterpiece, or maybe the eldest young master Ouyang was not interested in this delicacy - the eldest son of the richest family in the Northern Regions, he has lived for more than ten years and has never eaten any delicacies in the world, unless you bring the treasures of the fairy family, he may still be willing to taste it, for this reason, Xiao Cong couldn't help but joke:

"Great talent, Hongxiang's roasted meat this time is really good, if you don't taste it, you will definitely regret it. ”

Ouyang Xun kept working in his hands, and he didn't turn his head:

"You said it was delicious, why don't I want to taste it, but you see how hard I have, it doesn't matter, when Brother Hongxiang finishes baking the next slice, I can free my hands." ”

Hongxiang divided the meat steak to Younu, Yin Nuo and the remaining Xiao Twenty-Seven generals in turn, but after they put the barbecue meat in their mouths and chewed it, they all showed unnatural expressions, the more they chewed, the deeper the frowns, although the Younu and Xiao Twenty-seven generals seemed to be very uninterested in the barbecue that even Xiao Cong couldn't help but praise a few words, but they still swallowed it somewhat reluctantly, and Yin Nuo, after chewing for a while, the minced meat in his mouth spit on the ground,

"Poof, there's something wrong with this meat, there's definitely something wrong with this meat!" yelled Yin Nuo.

The ghost girl also said, "I also think this meat tastes a little weird......

Ouyang Xun laughed out loud and teased:

"This meat must not be delicious in the first place, you have all been beaten by the two of them!"

Xiao Cong and Hongxiang were full of doubts when they saw this, and when they looked at each other, Hongxiang was puzzled:

"My brother and I didn't lie to you, I tasted this meat really delicious......"

As he spoke, in order to prove that what he said was true, he lowered his head and took a bite on the steak fiercely, chewed it heavily, and smiled.

Xiao Cong smiled,

"It's a bit bizarre that we can eat different flavors of the same cutlet. ”

But the ghost girl said with a serious face:

"But what we said is also true, this piece of meat does taste a little strange, don't believe you ask them. ”

The twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family nodded their heads one after another, and one of them spoke:

"I can't say what the blame is, anyway, it just makes people feel uncomfortable after eating. ”

"It's very uncomfortable!" Yin Nuo solemnly corrected with a gloomy face.

Ouyang Xun finally glanced over here and shook his words,

"It seems that the problem is on this steak, and when I adjust the things, I will come back to study it with you. ”

Hongxiang grimaced and muttered,

"Wait for you big-headed ghost, as if we can't figure out anything without you. ”

Xiao Cong put aside the previous question and shifted his thoughts to the interesting thing in front of him, his right hand stroked the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth faintly smiled, which seemed to be a playful picture.

The reason for this problem is very simple, but the reason behind it is a little difficult, the same piece of meat steak, he and Hongxiang think it is delicious, but others are not delicious, especially Yin Nuo, showing that there is no pretentious disgust, since he came into contact with the method of mind cultivation, Xiao Cong has not seen Yin Nuo's emotions so intense for a few days, and the special thing he and Hongxiang have in common is that they completed the gift of immortality in the United States in the near sun desert, and practiced the real mysterious ancient scriptures, which may be the reason why the two of them taste the opposite of others, and the mechanism behind it is from taste to feeling, Younu and Xiao Twenty-Seven both said that they felt that the taste was strange, but they didn't say whether it was good or not, which shows that the strong feeling has completely overshadowed the taste, or to exaggerate, they didn't taste anything at all, but why did he and Hongxiang taste the real deliciousness? If it is really due to the mysterious ancient scriptures, it is another headache and thorny problem.

Ouyang Xun finally concocted the paste that he blew to the gods, only to see this guy stand up with a big prick in his eyes, clapped his hands, and said to Hongxiang with interest:

"What kind of taste did you make so wicked, bring it to me and taste it!"

Hongxiang handed over the barbecue with an expressionless face.

Ouyang Xun tore off a piece of the meat steak, put it in his mouth like a gourmand and chewed it slowly, his expression became more and more ugly, but he didn't spit out the meat for a while, chewed it like this for most of the day, and finally spit the residue that had been chewed into broken cotton wool on the ground, and covered the coffin.

"There's definitely something wrong with this meat. ”

Xiao Cong seemed to be smiling,

"You've been chewing for so long, but have you ever noticed something wrong?"

Ouyang Xun swears,

"It's not clear what the exact reason is, but I advise you not to eat this meat until you find out what happened, because I suspect that the cats in this meat may enter the eater's body with digestion and become contaminated with these bad things, and I am afraid that it will have some impact on future cultivation. ”

Hongxiang's eyes widened,

"It can't be such a coincidence, brother, don't you think that the situation Ouyang Xun said is very similar to the situation in the Valley of Forgotten Life? At the beginning, Yin Nuo also told us not to eat something from anywhere, we may go crazy if we eat it. ”

Xiao Cong didn't speak, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he couldn't help but start muttering in his heart, the illusory ancient prison in the Valley of Forgetfulness, The necromantic army in the Ancient Zhou Plain, these are all related to the existence of the Xuanyuan family at the tip of the pyramid of the legendary Xuanzhen alchemy world, and the ancient Zhou Plain where the necromantic army is buried is adjacent to the Great Wilderness, and the situation in the Valley of Forgotten Life is similar to the Great Wilderness, which has to make people wonder if the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family have already come to the Great Wilderness many years ago to explore, and they retreated and brought back the research results, which not only created today's army of necromancy, but also created such a notorious evil place as the Valley of Forgotten Life, how does it sound that the people of the Xuanyuan family can toss more than the people of the Xiao family!

Among the forces of the Xuanzhen Mortal Realm, even if the families of Huangfu, Lonely, Wuma, Baili, Wenren, etc. are added, the Xuanyuan family is still the most mysterious family among them, Xiao Cong has been traveling south and north in the Xuanzhen Mortal Realm for some days, although he has only met with the Xuanyuan family once, and the other party is still very embarrassed in this only contact, but Xiao Cong does not doubt the strength of this hidden family at all, the worse they behave, the more jealous Xiao Cong is in his heart.

He was thinking,

"The ability of the Xuanyuan family has penetrated into the spiritual realm, is it related to the fact that they have been to the Great Wilderness, if they have such a high level of true attainment before entering the Great Wilderness, these in the Great Wilderness are caused by them, it is a bit too unbelievable to say this, even if they have this ability, but if they do this, the existence of the Gu Immortal level in the Great Wilderness will definitely not let them leave the Great Wilderness alive, therefore, the formation of the Valley of Forgotten Life and the source of the existence of the Necromantic Army may be the Great Wilderness, but it is too early to say this, whether this is the case or not will have to wait until other evidence is found in the future。 ”

Xiao Cong's expression returned to normal, and he said to them with a smile,

"Except for Hongxiang, you can try one more bite. ”

Everyone looked at each other, although they had doubts in their hearts, but they still complied, but this time their reactions were different, Yin Nuo and Ouyang Xun still felt unpalatable, and the ghost girl and the remaining Xiao Twenty-seven generals said that this time the taste in the mouth changed, not only was it not unpalatable, but it felt very delicious, such a strange thing made everyone puzzled, it was obviously the same piece of meat, different people ate different tastes, and the same person ate different tastes at different times, Rao is Yin Nuo, who has lived for nearly three hundred years, this is the first time he has encountered such a strange thing。

Xiao Cong's face changed to that smiling expression again,

"Yin Nuo, you didn't swallow it again this time, and when you swallow it, the taste will change the next time you eat it. ”

Ouyang Xun suddenly realized,

"Oh, I see. ”

But Yin Nuo has a sad face,

"I can't swallow it, and I'm not uncommon for such deliciousness. ”

Ouyang Xun grinned,

The seniors were too worried, Xiao Cong looked at the ghost girl and swallowed them, and said that he ate it himself, which means that he thinks there is no big problem with this meat. ”

Xiao Cong's face changed slightly, and he said half-truthfully:

"Well, I didn't say that. ”

The ghost girl on the side was frightened, and Ouyang Xun looked really anxious.

"Damn, Xiao Cong, human life is a matter of heaven, don't play with us!"

Xiao Cong spread his hands, and said harmlessly:

"I don't really know about that. ”

"Satoshi, you ......"

"However, even if there is a problem with this meat, it should not have any effect if it is not eaten too much, and besides, it may be a blessing or a curse. ”

Ouyang Xun didn't understand again,

"Why do you say that? ”

Xiao Cong improvised blindness, his face was not red and his heart was not beating,

"Although the taste we taste is divided into delicious and not delicious, but it is delicious to a degree, and it is not delicious to a degree, I and Hongxiang tasted it for the first time and felt that the meat was very delicious, and Sister Younu tasted it for the second time, although she also thought it was delicious, but it was not as excited as Hongxiang tasted, indicating that the taste she tasted was not as delicious as the taste of Hongxiang, you and Yin Nuo tasted bad and bad, you can bear it, Yin Nuo can't bear it directly, let's not subdivide it, just take two extremes, Hongxiang and Yin Nuo for comparison, the rest of the words, I don't say that you should also understand。 ”

Ouyang Xun thought for a moment and nodded,

"I kind of understand, with Yin Nuobi, Hongxiang is more normal, so the taste is more desirable, since the taste of Hongxiang is delicious, then this meat steak should be delicious, but we are short of something, so we can't taste its real taste. ”

Xiao Cong pretended to appreciate,

"That's right, the children can be taught, but this is just speculation, since it may be a blessing or a curse, for the sake of safety, it is better to eat less, after all, the blessing can be abandoned, the disaster can not be touched, and the luck psychology is better than the beast of the wilderness. ”

Although Xiao Cong's self-justification was almost seamless, Ouyang Xun, who was the master of the Turtle Mansion, was not a fool, I saw this guy meditate for a while and asked:

"But just now Hongxiang said that the Valley of Forgotten Life has a similar situation to this, the Valley of Forgotten Life is set up by the Xuanyuan family and the Dugu family, and the army of necromancy in the Ancient Zhou Plain is also from the hands of the Xuanyuan family, so there should be some connection between it. ”

Xiao Cong's face was as usual, he shook his head slowly, and his voice was not alarmed,

"Although it looks a little similar, it is actually not the same, the essence of the Valley of Forgotten Life is a kind of medicine, which is used by some people to control others, although it also has the effect of affecting the spirit, but the initiator is not the drug, but the evil creatures in the Ancient Prison of Illusory Misfortune, the one in the Great Wilderness is different, this is obviously another thing. ”

Seeing that Ouyang Xun was still skeptical, Xiao Cong asked Yin Nuo again:

"Yin Nuo, am I right?"

Yin Nuo scratched his head embarrassedly,

"Hey, this ...... I haven't really thought about it, but it makes sense. ”

Hongxiang's mouth opened and opened, and finally he didn't speak, although he knew that Xiao Cong was not telling the truth, but he believed that Xiao Cong had his own discretion in his heart, and no matter what Xiao Cong's plan was, he would support the other party unconditionally.

Xiao Cong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he admired himself a little bit by turning this nonsense into this.
