Volume 13: Searching for Pearls and Returning to the Day Chapter 211: Honghua Immortal
When he was young, Han Ye and his entourage found a wine shop called "Honghua Inn" in the south of Beimo Town, the snow at the door of the wine shop seems to be swept by people from time to time, only a thin piece, five people stepped into the inn, found that it was very lively, there were actually people who drank and ate meat in it shirtless, and the people here were eating hot pot and patting the table in twos and threes, chatting about the world and the world.
Xue Yan held Situ Yunmeng's hand, originally tired, but after sniffing the fragrance in the air with her nose, her eyes flashed and she came to her senses, and said to Han Ye: "Silly melon, I smell a delicious fragrance!" I didn't expect that although this town is small, there is really hot pot to eat! β
"Hot pot?" Situ Yunmeng, Han Yu, and Xingchen asked in unison.
"That's right!" Xue Yan was busy showing everyone her unique experience in cooking, and said: "Of course you guys who are bored at home on weekdays don't know, it is said that there were five cooked kettles during the Three Kingdoms period, that is, the copper utensils were made into grids and cooked different foods. β
Han Ye said disdainfully: "Yan'er, they are different from us, Yunmeng and Xiaoyu were originally big misses, and they almost never went out, and later Xiaoyu entered Shumen and concentrated on cultivation, as for the stars, living in the sky must not be clear, so you don't have to show your knowledge in front of them." β
"How?" Xue Yan pressed her slender waist with both hands and said to Han Ye: "This woman has a rare opportunity to raise her eyebrows, Xiao Mengmeng is a talented girl, and the stupid melon girl is a bookworm, so don't you allow me to show off?" β
Everyone was chatting hotly, but they heard an old and slow voice not far away, saying: "In ancient times, Zhang Feiyide was stewed hot pot dog meat, and wine and hot pot culture have been inherited since ancient times, and my border town is poor, so I naturally want to use these two things to drive away the cold, but the price is not something ordinary people can eat." β
As the words approached, everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a rickety old man with a haggard and mottled face slowly coming to everyone on crutches, as if he was seriously ill, his skin was slightly green, and he was the old shopkeeper here.
"Are you going to drink and eat hot pot here? Or overnight? The rickety old man asked.
"Drink!" Han Ye said without thinking.
"Eat hot pot!" Xue Yan and Situ Yunmeng rushed to say.
"Stay overnight, huh~!" Han Yu yawned.
"Hehe, hehe." The rickety old man smiled and put his hand to the side, and said, "So, please take a seat first, drink wine, eat hot pot, and then go upstairs to rest, how about it?" β
Everyone nodded, and the old man led him into the noisy crowd, and it happened that a table of people had just left, and the rickety old man asked the men here to clean up the table, and let everyone sit down.
Xue Yan threw herself to Situ Yunmeng's side without hesitation, put her hips against Situ Yunmeng, and grabbed Han Yu next to Situ Yunmeng, and said with a smile: "It's great that we can finally come out together and have a formal meal, great, let's sit together sisters, right?" β
Situ Yunmeng didn't refuse, Han Yu was also half-pushed, and the three girls almost squeezed on a stool.
Han Ye couldn't see it, and reprimanded with a serious expression: "When you come out to eat, how can there be three girls' families crowded together?" What does it look like? Sit apart. β
"Oh." Han Yu listened to her brother's words the most, nodded and sat down.
Situ Yunmeng also glanced at Xue Yan, saying that he cared about Han Ye's feelings, and Xue Yan reluctantly let Situ Yunmeng sit next to Han Ye.
The rickety old man looked at the five people, and only smiled, and then asked, "Now can you tell me what you want to do?" What kind of wine is needed? What hot pot? β
Han Ye smiled: "What good wine is here?" β
The rickety old man said: "The most famous wine in Beimo Town is the cold ice burn, drinking the wine is enough to freeze the throat, but it doesn't take long for the whole body to be hot as if it burns, people in ordinary areas can't stand this kind of wine, only we live in the northernmost residents will occasionally drink it, once you want to go out to drink this wine, then the whole body is like fire, and the cold is not invaded." β
Han Ye was excited when he heard this, and unusually, he slapped the table and said, "Okay! Come to a jar! β
The rickety old man was frightened by Han Ye's words, not to mention that Han Ye was talking about a jar instead of a pot, so he reminded: "Guest, guest officer, you take it easy, you will die if you drink too much cold ice!" β
The corners of Han Ye's mouth curled, and he smiled: "One jar is enough, and I don't drink too much, I'm afraid of getting drunk." β
"One jar isn't too much?" The rickety old man wiped his sweat and said.
"Humph! And say that we don't look like it, what do we look like? Drunkard's look! Xue Yan was unconvinced, clasped her hands in front of her, looked at Situ Yunmeng, and didn't plan to pay attention to Han Ye anymore.
The rickety old man asked the guy to serve wine, and after repeated instructions, he asked, "Okay, what hot pot do you need now?" We only have three kinds of meat here: mutton, dog meat, and rabbit meat......"
"Rabbit meat!" Xue Yan slapped the table in front of Han Ye, as if in return to him for slapping the table just now, and said, "Rabbit hot pot (1), plus four side dishes!" β
Han Ye knew that Xue Yan was following his example to mock himself, so he snorted.
The rickety old man was embarrassed and said: "It's a remote location, and these meats are also transported from villages dozens of miles away, so I'm afraid that the side dishes can't be supplied too much." β
"What's on it!" Xue Yan said: "Anyway, rabbit meat hot pot is indispensable!" This woman hasn't eaten rabbit meat in a long time! β
"Hehe, okay." The rickety old man carefully looked at Han Ye, Situ Yunmeng, and Xingchen, and then asked, "Do you need anything else?" Ladies and gentlemen? β
"Not yet." Xue Yan said, put the two ingots of gold on the table, and said to the rickety old man with pride: "This ingot of gold is counted as the money for our meals and drinks, and the other ingot is counted as the money for us to spend the night, so we don't need to look for it." β
The rickety old man looked at the two ingots of gold, his expression was cold, he received it in his arms, and then hurried away on crutches, and when he left, he glanced at the white-clothed beauty sitting at the table, as if he had thought of something.
"Huh!" Xue Yan slapped Han Ye's arm and said proudly: "I've been poor for so long, girl, I can finally raise my eyebrows and exhale once, hehe!" β
Han Ye threw a sentence coldly: "Vain." β
"What's wrong with vanity!" Xue Yan raised her eyebrows, nodded Han Ye's chest, and said, "It's much better than a rotten drunkard like you who usually pretends to be calm and goes crazy when he sees wine!" β
"Hmph, whatever you want." Han Ye glanced at Xue Yan and took a sip of the Bacchus brew he had taken from the God Realm.
After about a while, the cold ice burned on the table, Han Ye drank alone unscrupulously, saw Situ Yunmeng looking at him, and took Situ Yunmeng's shoulder and asked her to drink with him, only drinking this delicate and dripping beauty to a peach color and slightly drunk, and hiding her face with plain sleeves.
Xue Yan, who has always hated alcohol, is most disgusted by this kind of thing, thinking to herself who wants to drink with you, really play Xiao Mengmeng as your concubine! But she was inconvenient to disturb the affectionate two, and when she remembered that the rabbit hot pot was not on the table, she said to everyone: "Hasn't the rabbit hot pot come up yet?" It just so happens that girl, I've just recovered my body, it's time for everyone to try my craft, especially the little fairy, learn a little, hum! β
After saying that, Xue Yan got up, flicked the long black hair and sky blue ribbon behind him, and went straight to the kitchen to do it herself.
Xue Yan is a good cook, when she entered the kitchen, she first looked at the layout of the kitchen, and without saying a word, she snatched the kitchen knife from the chef of the red case, which made several cooks inexplicable, Xue Yan found the rabbit meat prepared by the cook and put it on the board, and the kitchen knife danced twice in the palm of her hand, and then began to cut the rabbit meat, although it looked a little fancy, but the action was smooth and the knife was accurate, and it only took a moment to make the rabbit meat into dozens of thin slices.
Seeing that it was a beautiful chivalrous woman, the cook kindly reminded her not to mess with the kitchen things, but as soon as Xue Yan came up, she made this action that surprised them, and they were all dumbfounded, and the original red case master took a piece of rabbit meat from the board and put it under the oil lamp to look closely, and found that the rabbit meat was so thin that even the light of the oil lamp could pass through, and he couldn't help but admire, so he asked: "Girl, I can't see that the cooking skills are so exquisite, where are you sacred?" β
"Luoyang Xue Nuxia, a disciple of Bishui Palace, an apprentice of the Holy Book Medicine Immortal, that's all." Xue Yan focused on taking another whole piece of rabbit meat to cut, cut it into thin slices, took five small bowls, took an iron spoon and scooped them in the cooking wine jar, soy sauce jar, vinegar jar, and sea salt bag, evenly arranged the seasoning in the five bowls, and then picked up the chopsticks to taste and mix the seasoning in the five plates.
"Where's the hot pot?" Xue Yan asked.
When the cook heard this, he started to help, stuffed the charcoal fire under the small boiler and lit it, prepared the soup, Xue Yan found the pepper bag and the star anise cinnamon bag, took some of the ingredients and threw them into the soup, and then patted the remaining ingredients dipped in his hands, and said to the stunned cooks: "Yes, the seasoning is quite complete, put the rabbit meat on the plate, move it to the boiler, and you can wait to eat." Remember to make a few delicious side dishes, my little dream dreams love to eat. β
As she spoke, Xue Yan lifted the thick curtain and was about to leave the kitchen, when the cook behind her hurriedly asked, "Wait!" Which table, girl? β
Xue Yantou didn't reply: "Look at which table is sitting with a fairy daughter in a white dress and yellow dress, just that table." With that, he closed the curtain.
Soon after, the delicacies were put on the table, Xue Yan was not in a hurry to move the chopsticks, only put her hands in front of her, and said to everyone: "This rabbit hot pot is cooked for you by this girl herself, taste it slowly." β
Xingchen is a god in the sky, he never thought of tasting the delicious food of the world before, and he didn't know where the saying "dog meat rolls, the fairy can't stand steadily" came from, he took the chopsticks for a long time to hold it steady, but he didn't know how to clip it, Xue Yan looked at him anxiously, quickly swiped the chopsticks on the table, swept the rabbit meat plate with chopsticks, swiped the hot pot soup base, and dipped the sauce, and stuffed the rabbit meat into Xingchen's mouth.
"Stupid! Chopsticks don't even work! Xue Yan pressed her chopsticks on the table and clasped her hands in front of her again.
"Whew!" Xingchen pressed his cheeks with both hands, blew the rabbit meat in his mouth, and then chewed it twice and swallowed it, only to feel that the rabbit meat floated with a unique fragrance, the fresh and tender taste echoed in the teeth, and the wonderful numb taste danced on the tongue, Xingchen suddenly felt that his body was much warmer, and he said in surprise: "It's delicious!" Is this the delicacy of the world? β
"That's not it." Xue Yan shook her fingers and said, "This is Xue Nuxia's delicacy, not everyone can make it." β
"Hmph." Han Ye picked up the bowl, picked up the rabbit slices in the shabu-shabu, ignored Xue Yan's arrogant appearance beside him, and gave the freshly soaked rabbit slices to Situ Yunmeng, and said, "Madam, do you want to eat?" β
Situ Yunmeng had already started eating, originally swallowed in a big gulp, glanced at Han Ye, quickly covered his mouth with his left hand and chewed slowly, and then raised his right hand and pushed and said, "Ah Ye, you eat it yourself!" Don't, don't look at me, I can take care of myself! β
"Hahahaha!" Xue Yan laughed loudly and said to Han Ye, "What do you men know?" Since she was a child, she has followed this girl, and she has realized how happy it is to enjoy the delicious food in the world! It's rare to have such a hot pot, how can you not have a good time? β
Since Situ Yunmeng can take care of herself, Han Ye is at ease, and she eats hot pot while drinking wine comfortably, but she still can't help but glance at the beauty beside her, seeing that she has something in her right hand and sends it to her mouth, and her left hand is still blocking Han Ye not wanting Han Ye to see her eating, so she whispered in Situ Yunmeng's ear: "Madam, do you know what kind of woman is the cutest?" β
Situ Yunmeng stopped chewing, his jade eyes widened, and he shook his head.
"A woman who can throw off her arms and eat in front of her sweetheart." Han Ye smiled: "If you like to eat, let it go, if you don't have enough to order more, didn't I say it?" Don't grieve yourself. β
Situ Yunmeng nodded slightly, and there was no concern, putting down the hand covering Sakura's lips, but she still had to look at Han Ye when she was chewing, if Han Ye didn't look at her, she would eat quickly, if Han Ye looked at her, she would eat slowly, and when she was seventy percent full, and a new pot of rabbit meat was served, she suddenly had other interests.
Situ Yunmeng smiled like a flower, patted Han Ye's shoulder, looked at him with flowing jade eyes, and said, "Ah Ye, open your mouth!" β
Han Ye opened his mouth when he heard this, Situ Yunmeng held the rabbit meat in one hand and protected it with the other, afraid that the juice would spill on Han Ye's body, so he sent the rabbit meat to Han Ye's mouth, and watched him finish eating with his hand on his cheeks, his jade face was slightly red.
Han Ye's heart grew warmer, looked at Situ Yunmeng gratefully, and said to her, "Thank you, madam." β
But Situ Yunmeng had already turned her head at this time, the white orchid earrings jumped slightly, and she sent rabbit meat to Xue Yan's mouth again, and smiled happily: "Yan'er, open your mouth!" β
"Ahββ!h Xue Yan's mouth opened wide, eating the rabbit meat fed by Situ Yunmeng, and raised her eyebrows towards Han Ye, which seemed to mean: How is it? Your wife feeds me, and I'm mad at you!
"These two guys ......!" Han Ye was angry and funny, holding Situ Yunmeng's hand, but he felt extremely warm and happy.
"Ah Ye." Situ Yunmeng frowned slightly and said, "I can't feed you if you hold my hand, I haven't fed Xiaoyu yet!" β
Han Ye hurriedly let go of his hand, and Situ Yunmeng fed Han Yu a piece of rabbit meat again.
Xingchen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lan Xiang!" I don't want it! Don't feed me! β
"Did people say hey you? Idiot! Xue Yan waved his arm on the side and said, "Eat your own!" The guy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world! β
Situ Yunmeng raised his sleeves and smiled, and suddenly heard a few northern men discussing the affairs of the town behind him, one of them put the wine bowl on the table and said to the other two: "Do you say strange? I heard that the beautiful singing voice of the Honghua Shangxian (2) used to be heard every night on the North Stygian Sea, but recently the singing seems to be getting more and more urgent, as if I am quite scared? β
"That's not a rainbow immortal!" Another man slapped the table, swept over everyone with a very mysterious gaze, and said: "You don't know, now the people of Dapeng Trading House have blocked the news, in fact, the singing in the North Styx Sea is not from the immortals, it is clearly from an ancient giant fish." β
"!" The tallest man was so drunk that he threw the wine bowl on the table and said, "Brothers, I grew up here, and I have never heard of a giant fish on the sea, you think you are the son of Ren Guo (3)!" I still think of myself as our ancestor of Lombard! If others don't find out, it's the same as you know! β
The man who revealed the news mysteriously put his finger to his lips, approached several other men and said, "Shhh Be quiet, I heard that something unclean has appeared in the sea recently, the ancient giant fish has been sleeping in the deep sea for thousands of years, and now I am afraid that it is frightened, so it surfaced for the people of our town to see. β
"Honghua Shangxian? Ancient Giant Fish? Situ Yunmeng pondered these words that he had never heard of, suddenly smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows and shook his head, and said, "How can I take seriously what a few drunkards said?" β
Situ Yunmeng thought so, so he planned to continue to feed Han Ye side dishes, but his jade eyes glanced at it, but he found that the rickety old shopkeeper was hiding in the corner and staring at her chest, Situ Yunmeng frowned, one hand was protected on his chest, and the willow eyebrows stared at the rickety old man.
When the rickety old man saw that Situ Yunmeng had discovered him, he had no choice but to turn from darkness to light, and slowly came to Situ Yunmeng on crutches, staring at her chest with his eyes, and asked seriously: "Girl, can you tell me, where did you buy this jade pendant?" β
After hearing this, Situ Yunmeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was a lewd old pervert, so he held the Lingling fairy jade with his bare hands, presented it to the rickety old man, and said: "Old shopkeeper, this jade pendant was given to me by someone else, I don't know where to buy it." β
Although Situ Yunmeng didn't tell the whole truth, he didn't lie to others, the rickety old man looked at the jade pendant with an abnormal expression, and then looked at Situ Yunmeng, and said, "It's nothing, just ask." β
The rickety old man said, leaning on crutches in one hand and behind his back with the other, and planned to leave.
"Eh, wait!" Situ Yunmeng stretched out his hand and called the rickety old man and asked, "That...... Old shopkeeper, I want to ask, what kind of character is the Honghua Shangxian that you often talk about? β
The rickety old man turned around and took a closer look at Situ Yunmeng again, seeing that Situ Yunmeng's partners were busy eating hot pot, only Han Ye was more vigilant, so he bypassed his gaze, leaned into Situ Yunmeng's left ear, and whispered with a solemn expression: "I heard that there are nine levels of immortals, although most of the strength is under the gods and demons, but there are also some immortals who surpass the gods and demons, such as Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earth immortals, and the legendary Honghua Shangxian." β
When Situ Yunmeng heard the old man rickets' remarks, she suddenly felt a clear mind in her mind, and she said to the old man with a little admiration: "The old shopkeeper is well-informed, can you tell the little woman what kind of person this Honghua Immortal is?" β
The rickety old man said: "I'll just tell you what I know, there are almost ......no people in this world who have seen Honghua Immortals" Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly found that Han Ye had already put one hand around Situ Yunmeng's waist, grabbed her soft hair with the other, and leaned over his left ear to listen.
"Say it." Han Ye glanced at the rickety old man and said, "You secretly talk to my wife, I'm her husband, can't you listen?" β
The rickety old man laughed dryly and said, "If you can hear it, you can hear it!" So he continued: "Legend has it that after Nuwa Niangniang created a human, she selected a suitable object from among the mortals to supervise the five spiritual powers on the earth. When the five spiritual powers are gathered together, the Honghua Immortal will appear, and at that time, the colorful light will bloom like a rainbow. Legend has it that the Honghua Immortal does not really exist in this world, but there is a saying that the descendants of Nuwa are the descendants of Nuwa, because it is the descendants of Nuwa who save the common people every time, so others think that it does not matter whether the Honghua Immortal appears or not. β
"Then if Nuwa's descendants can't save the world, will Honghua Shangxian appear?" Another voice came from the side, like a warbler, and it turned out that Xue Yan also leaned over to listen.
The rickety old man shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Do you want me to just say it loudly?" β
"You should have said it out loud!" Han Ye and Xue Yan pointed at him in unison.
"Lewd and trivial!" Han Ye said abruptly.
"Sneaky!" Xue Yan said unhappily.
Situ Yunmeng's body shook slightly, and he couldn't help laughing again.
"Okay, okay, say it out loud, I'll say it out loud." The rickety old man sighed and said: "If Nuwa's descendants are unable to save the common people, then, as the supervisor of the five spirits, Honghua Shangxian will inevitably appear, although he does not have enough ability to turn the tide, but he can assist Nuwa's descendants or other saviors to complete their mission." Moreover, when Nuwa Niangniang is away, he can even temporarily take Nuwa Niangniang's position and control the Five Spirits thaumaturgy. β
Situ Yunmeng bowed his head thoughtfully, and then asked the rickety old man: "So, old shopkeeper, did you choose such a name for the inn just to wait for that person to appear?" β
The rickety old man listened to Situ Yunmeng's words, looked at her carefully, suddenly smiled, and was about to lean into her ear to speak, when Han Ye raised his arm to stop him, Han Ye said angrily: "Go back, don't get so close!" Whispering to my wife again? β
"Okay, then I won't talk about it for the time being......" The rickety old man shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked away on crutches, leaving a sentence: "Princess Feihuang from Lishu Mountain." β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
He ...... Who the hell is it? Why do you know so many things? Situ Yunmeng muttered.
"It's no ordinary person." Han Yedao.
"Maybe it's a demon?" Xue Yan stood up and walked to Situ Yunmeng's side, and guessed: "Don't forget the guys who cover up the demonic spirit in Huayu Valley, this old hunchback god is mysterious and secretive, and he must have bad intentions!" β
"Guard." Han Ye took Situ Yunmeng's hand and reminded Xue Yandao.
"Of course!" Xue Yan took Situ Yunmeng's other hand and responded to Han Yedao.
But it was said that after Han Ye and the others were full of wine and food, they were taken upstairs by the rickety old shopkeeper, and the rooms upstairs were relatively simple, Han Ye arranged for everyone to live together in order to prevent the old store from cheating, and when Xue Yan and Han Yu fell asleep in bed, he sat at the table with Situ Yunmeng and Xingchen, facing each other, and the atmosphere was slightly tense.
Xingchen looked at the two Yemeng on the opposite side left and right, and felt that these two people were like interrogating prisoners, but Han Ye's expression was cold, Situ Yunmeng's expression was soft, he shrank his neck slightly, and said, "Ask whatever you want, don't keep staring at me like this." β
Han Ye said with a serious expression: "Xingchen, you know, my sister is about to be twenty years old, and she can marry in the mortal world, and she can marry in the year of Xuan, I plan to find a good home for her, but it is also a matter of heart." β
Xingchen lowered his head and said, "That...... What does that have to do with me? β
Situ Yunmengwu sat upright with his hands on his lap and said, "I have discussed it with Ah Ye, and when this matter is over, he will take me back to Lishu Mountain to get married, and then he will buy you a wedding, what do you think?" β
When Xingchen heard this, he almost didn't fall off the stool, shook his hand, and said, "Oops! Is it necessary to be so fast? Besides, I didn't say yes! β
Han Ye's eyes were gloomy and said: "My sister is very bitter, she has lost her father and mother since she was a child, and her brother has been away from her for eight years...... Especially when she follows our so-called brothers and sisters, saying that she wants to follow the first life, but how can she follow the first life? As he spoke, he said more and more sadly: "Her sister Yaoguang in her previous life was even more miserable, she got along with us for a short period of time, and finally ended up with her body and soul and died in the world. β
When Situ Yunmeng heard Han Ye say this, he suddenly felt pity, and his eyes were also filled with mist, and he said to Xingchen: "Xingchen, you and Xiaoyu have an indissoluble marriage, I and Ah Ye have seen this, we just hope that someone can take good care of her and accompany her to the end of her life, you are the best candidate!" β
Xingchen frowned, scratched his head vigorously, looked at the two of them, thought about it again, nodded fiercely, and said, "Okay, okay!" I, I, I promised you! In fact...... Actually, I like her too! I'm afraid that if she refuses, I will lose face. When this is over, you will have to make decisions for me! Brother-in-law! Sister-in-law! β
The two of them both burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" Xingchen raised his head slightly, thinking that he had said something wrong, and asked, "Isn't that what the world is called?" β
Situ Yunmeng smiled and said, "Xingchen, you're not wrong, it's just that Ah Ye and I are a little uncomfortable." β
Han Ye said: "My father and mother are not here, and my eldest brother is my father." The so-called 'parents' order, matchmaker's words', if I let my sister marry you, she will never dare to refuse, but as a brother, you have to take this responsibility, since you have decided to marry her to you, you must also take good care of her, be angry and coax, don't let her be wronged, if not......" said Han Ye said with a cold face: "Han Weiyang chased to the ends of the earth, and he will not spare you!" β
"Definitely, definitely!" Xingchen hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The eldest brother-in-law and sister-in-law have been kind to me and recreated, and the little god will not dare to forget!" β
So, the people of the three worlds of gods, immortals, and demons chatted in the room.
Early the next morning.
Because this is a town without light, there is no difference between day and night, and there is no morning dew, but Xue Yan, who was sleeping with Han Yu in her arms, had already gotten up, she stretched her waist and said, "Silly melon...... What time is it? β
"Silly melon? Silly melon! Xue Yan looked around, where is Han Ye? She shouted again, "Little Mengmeng! Little fairy! β
"Oh no, woe!" Xue Yan jumped out of bed in remorse, and said while putting on her shoes: "I overslept!" Forgot to change shifts with dumb melons! These guys are going to be fine, right? β
Xue Yan tied up her shawl long hair with Yan Hai, and hurriedly shook Han Yu, who was still sleeping beside her, Han Yu turned over, and muttered tiredly, "Sister...... Don't shake ...... Xiaoyu ...... I still want to go around in circles......"
"Still going around in circles, this sleepy bug!" Xue Yan scolded, frowned again, and thought, "That's not right! Fools won't be so careless! Even if he wants to sleep by himself, he will arrange for the little fairy to keep guard, in case they don't pay attention and lose the little dream and go out to chase together, how can they not call me and the dumb melon sister? It's dangerous to leave us here! β
No matter how you think about it, the possibility of everyone being recruited is still very small, after all, Situ Yunmeng is wearing a jade pendant and almost avoiding drugs, and Xingchen and Han Ye are both full of spiritual power, the three of them are masters of the upper three realms, and Han Ye has already been on guard, if this is the case, Situ Yunmeng can still be kidnapped, unless the gods and demons come in person!
Thinking of this, Xue Yan was not so anxious, and began to dress up in front of the dressing table, when she suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums on the street outside the window, and someone shouted: "Come on, come on!" Neighbors and villagers pay attention! The spring god immortal law has arrived here, has fasted and bathed for 7749 days, today will set up an altar to make my town rejuvenate, sincere spirit, incense offered, everyone come out to see ah! β
"Spring God Immortal?" When Xue Yan heard this, she wondered, "Is there such a great immortal?" β
The girl's curiosity drove Xue Nuxia to speed up her makeup, close the door and go downstairs, but saw that Han Ye, Situ Yunmeng and Xingchen were already standing at the door of the inn to watch the excitement, she also drilled over, slapped Han Ye's back with her hand, and said angrily: "Stinky fool!" Why don't you change shifts when the time comes? My aunt and grandmother are so anxious to die for you! β
"Tap!" Han Yeqing frowned, stroked his back and said: "We see that you sleep so soundly, it was Yunmeng who said not to wake you up, let you have a good rest, I stayed with Xingchen all night, and nothing happened, so why don't you come down and see the excitement?" β
Situ Yunmeng answered: "Yes, Yan'er, I asked Ah Ye not to change shifts with you, don't be angry." β
Situ Yunmeng always spoke with some warmth, which made Xue Yan's anger disappear, so she continued to watch the excitement and asked the three of them, "What's going on on the street?" β
Han Ye looked at the bustling crowd and said, "What is there to ask about swindlers going to the streets to deceive the foolish people?" β
Xue Yan's eyes rolled and asked, "Oh? What do you mean by that? β
Xingchen said indignantly: "Do you still need to say it? I am a god in the sky, how can I not know who the god of spring is, the god of spring is clearly a sentence, and the god of spring is here! β
Situ Yunmeng also nodded and said, "From that person, you can feel a turbid immortal qi, but it is not clear at all, so it can be seen that he may be a charlatan who came down from a certain sect." β
"What about people?" Xue Yan asked.
"There." Han Ye pointed his hand at the crowd, and Xue Yan faintly saw a middle-aged man in it, this man was dressed in a mage robe, wearing a white man's robe, his eyes were like a phoenix, his beard was eight hands, and his hair was scattered, meditating cross-legged on the eight-person sedan chair, making Lan with both hands, one hand on his knees, and the other hand on the top of his head, his eyes were closed peacefully, and he didn't know what incantation he was pretending to be chanting in his mouth.
"Ahem!" The middle-aged man coughed lightly, although the surrounding boiling voices covered it out, but the "Eight Great Protectors" next to him listened to it, and the Protector led by him struck the gong desperately, saying, "Silence!" Quiet! Daisen has something to say. β
Daxian cleared his throat, opened his phoenix eyes slightly, looked around at everyone, pinched his fingers, and said, "Hmm...... This great immortal has been fasting and bathing here for 7749 days, have you noticed that there are big fish in the North Stygian Sea recently? β
The people looked at each other and nodded.
"That is an auspicious omen, a sign from heaven, meaning more than every year!" As he spoke, Daxian greeted the sky with his sleeves, made an offering, and said: "This just shows that the Emperor of Heaven is about to bless here, and from now on, Beimo Town can be exchanged for four seasons of Changchun!" β
After hearing this, the people of Beimo Town knelt down and bowed: "Thank you for your blessings and prayers!" Immortal blessings are eternal, and longevity is boundless! β
"Good!" Daxian made a gesture of pressing down, his expression was originally very peaceful, but suddenly his face changed, and he said, "But! Why hasn't the snow melted and the earth rejuvenated today? Do you know why? β
The people looked at each other, and the patriarch of the town knelt down and said, "Please show the great immortal!" β
"Because of sincerity! If you are sincere, you will be spiritual, and if you are not sincere, you will not be spiritual! Daxian Yizheng held the orchid in his hand, pointed to the people of Beimo Town, and said, "The sincerity you offer is not enough!" It's a shame that you are still the descendants of Lombard, haven't you heard that money can make ghosts grind! O you ignorant people, you will not give up all your possessions to Heaven for your own benefit! How will the Emperor know that you are sincerely praying for the gifts? β
Seeing that someone was hesitating, Daxian said in a matter-of-fact manner: "Do you think paying money is a clichΓ©? Miss by a mile! Money is something outside the body, the old is gone, where does the new come from? You can hand over these things outside your body, and your sincerity is in place, proving that you are all good people, so as to exchange for a bumper harvest and peace in Beimo Town every year, why not? It's just that some of you are too pedantic, only caring about immediate interests, and don't hand over sincerity at this time, and plan to die in the coffin with money? β
When the people of Beimo Town heard this, they were sincerely afraid, and they all thought that they were not sincere, so they took out all the money on their bodies and handed it to Daxian's protector, Daxian smiled and touched his beard, and said: "Good, good!" Your sincerity, the gods of the Nine Heavens will perceive it, do not worry about it. β
"This, home, guy!" Xue Yan looked indignantly at the ignorant townspeople who handed over the money to Daxian, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said: "I dare to go to a poor country like Beimo Town to cheat money, and give my conscience to the dog!" β
Han Ye snorted coldly: "Jumping beam clown, stop laughing." β
Xue Yan listened to Han Ye's words, and was even more angry, and finally pointed to the so-called "Great Immortal" on the sedan chair, and said angrily: "Bastard liar!" Get everyone's money back! Don't force your aunt and grandmother to beat you!! β
Daxian was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xue Yan's side, but saw a delicate and delicate woman in blue who was pointing at him with her long hair, with a swallow-shaped hair ornament and a sky blue ribbon, which looked particularly beautiful.
"Huh?" When the devout foolish people and the eight protectors under the Great Immortal Throne heard this, they all looked at this "blasphemous" Xue Nuxia with disdain and disgust.
"It seems...... They got angry. Xingchen shivered a little as he looked at the hateful gaze of so many mortals.
"So what? My aunt is just going to expose the true face of this dead liar! Xue Yan said as she pressed her slender waist with both hands, facing everyone's questioning eyes, fearless.
Exegesis:
(1) "Rabbit hot pot" - the history of hot pot is at least 1700 years old, and the rabbit meat hot pot was called "Paxia Offering" in the Southern Song Dynasty. At that time, Lin Hong went to Wuyi Mountain to visit the hermit Zhizhishi, when he was about to reach the peak, it snowed heavily, a hare accidentally flew down the stone to be caught by Lin Hong, Lin Hong asked the Zhizhi Master if he would roast rabbit meat, and the Zhizhi Master said that he generally set up a small charcoal stove, put a soup pot on the stove, cut the rabbit meat into thin slices, make a sauce with wine, sauce, pepper and cinnamon, and then sandwich the slices in the boiling soup and cook them, dip them in seasonings and eat. After Lin Hong did this, he felt that this way of eating was very delicious, and he could gather with three or five friends to talk and laugh and eat casually when the snow was flying, which was very pleasant, so he gave this way of eating a good name of "dialing the glow offering", and took the beautiful scene of "the waves surging the clear river and the snow, and the wind turning the evening glow", which has been passed down to this day.
(2) "Shangxian" - there are clouds in "Seven Signatures of Yunji": "There are nine immortals in Taiqing Realm, nine truths in Shangqing Realm, nine saints in Yuqing Realm, and three hundred and twenty-seven people." "Among them, the ninth rank of immortals in Taiqing Realm from high to low are Shang Xian, Gao Xian, Great Immortal, Xuan Xian, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Immortal, Spirit Immortal, and Supreme Immortal, and Shang Immortal is the highest level among the immortals!
(3) "Ren Guogongzi" - there is a cloud in Li Bai's "Great Hunting" in the Tang Dynasty: "Long Bo fished his Lingao, and Ren Gong won his giant fish." Legend has it that there is a son of Ren Guo, made a huge fishing hook, tied the hook with a very thick black rope, and then used 15 castrated fat cattle as bait, climbed up the Huiji Mountain to fish in the East China Sea, tirelessly worked hard, did not give up day and night, regardless of wind and rain, and finally caught a giant fish after a few years, after the fish was made into jerky, people from the east of Zhejiang to the north of Cangwu tasted it all over, which shows the size of the giant fish.
