Chapter 36: Hot Pot
"Genuine! What a rich family this is. ”
Xu Shu quickly picked up the silver dollar on the ground.
Qin Bing didn't have a good breath and said, "Are you going to continue to wait in this rich family?" ”
"Where, let's go, let's hurry up...... Wait, you listen. ”
"Listen to what, horses' hooves? Well, no, there is the sound of water, it's the river......"
Qin Bing was excited.
If you have a river, you only need to walk along the river, and it won't take long to find people.
The further the two of them went, the louder the sound of the flowing water became, and a light appeared in the northwest direction.
The two quickened their pace, and when they got closer, the light was coming from a pair of red lanterns.
"Qiaotou hot pot!"
Xu Shu pointed to the plaque next to the red lantern and said, "This, this is a hot pot restaurant!" ”
Before he could say anything, a strong feeling of hunger grew in his belly.
Qin Bing pointed to the left front and said, "The sound of water is coming from there, look, there is a bridge over there, and there must be a river below." Since there is a store here, let's explore the situation first."
The sky is getting darker and darker, and it seems that in this vast world, only this Qiaotou hot pot restaurant is left.
The bubbling smoke peeks through the cracks in the doors and windows, giving off an amazing aroma.
Xu Shu suddenly felt hungry, and Qin Bing also exposed the sound of swallowing saliva.
"Let's eat first, I'll invite you for this meal."
Xu Shu shook his pants pocket, and the silver dollar rattled.
The two of them pushed open the door of the hot pot restaurant, and there were already seven or eight tables sitting inside, and the smoke like white mist filled the entire lobby.
"Honorable guests, please inside."
A middle-aged man with a lamb's belly handkerchief wrapped around his head warmly greeted him, calling himself Lao Cui, and beckoning Xu Shu and Qin Bing to sit down.
The rich aroma of meat wafted in the room, which hooked Xu Shu's gluttony, urging Lao Cui to hurry up and serve the food.
Lao Cui agreed and left quickly.
Xu Shu looked around, and the entire hall was divided into two parts.
The five tables on the left were smoky, and pieces of red and white tender meat slipped into the dark brown spicy pot, making him can't help but move his index fingers, and he can't help but get up and grab the tender meat in his mouth.
"Huh."
Xu Shu snorted secretly, there were still two tables in the east, and they had never been opened, and the people sitting at these two tables were acquaintances.
One was the soldier who asked for directions, and the other was a rich old man who was sitting in a carriage and throwing money, but he didn't see the old man's guards and maids.
Xu Shu smiled at the two, and the two also nodded slightly at him, but each other's attention was quickly absorbed by the aroma of the hot pot.
After waiting for a thousand years, Lao Cui finally sent two soup pots to Xu Shu's table, Xu Shu and Qin Bing had one pot each.
The bottom of the pot is innocent, steaming, and there is no appetite for it.
Xu Shu said, "Clear water pot? Change the butter pan, why do you want to go on two? ”
Lao Cui said with a smile, "Honorable guests, the rules of our store are like this, one person, one pot."
As for the bottom of this pot, it looks like a clear water pot, but in fact, there is no hole.
When the meat is put into the pot, the taste is self-generated, and when you eat it, it becomes a red soup pot.
If you don't eat until the color of the bottom of the pot becomes white, I can't stop the chopsticks. ”
"Where's the meat?"
"Honor the guest and take it for yourself."
Xu Shu was about to get up, but he was pressed on the shoulder by Lao Cui, and he couldn't move.
Lao Cui took out two boning knives and put them on the table, "I said, if you want meat, you can take it yourself." ”
"Where?"
"Naturally, it is taken from the honored guest."
Xu Shu gasped and was about to get up, but he found that there was a thousand catties under his feet, and his buttocks seemed to be on the bench, and Lao Cui's honest smile suddenly became extremely infiltrating.
Xu Shu turned his head to look at the rich old man's table, and saw that he was holding a sharp knife and cutting off a piece of meat from his abdomen, his face was full of pain, and blood was already flowing under his feet......
And the soldiers on the side were the same, cutting the flesh on their bodies with painful faces, and their chests had been cut through, revealing the white bones of Sensen, but they were still cutting with knives.
The two of them painfully removed the meat, but the big chopsticks and chopsticks went down to the pot, and the meat was put into the pot, and the bottom of the pot really changed color.
The two of them were obviously in great pain, but they rushed one chopstick after another, and they ate extremely sweetly.
Lao Cui gently patted Xu Shu's shoulder, "As the saying goes, the stripes come and go without worry, and no one can escape if they create evil in front of them and disappear after they die." ”
"Could it be...... I, I'm dead? ”
Xu Shu only felt a cool breath rushing straight to the heavenly spirit cover.
Lao Cui smiled secretly.
At this moment, Qin Bing grabbed the sharp knife on the table.
Xu Shu wanted to stop it, and his arm weighed a thousand pounds.
Suddenly, an image appeared at the bottom of the pot in front of Qin Bing, a pink little girl, about five years old.
The little girl was holding a glass of milk, and suddenly her feet stumbled, the cup fell to the ground, and a crawling ant was smashed to the ground.
The picture is frozen on the ant, and a ball of red light is about to pounce out and dissipate.
Lao Cui muttered, "What's the matter, why is this unintentional misconduct revealed?" ”
Immediately after the image of the bottom of the pot changed, the little girl seemed to be a few years older, and she could already clearly see Qin Bing's outline.
The little girl accidentally stepped on a cockroach to death, and the picture was frozen on the cockroach corpse, and the red light condensed, but it still did not overflow.
Lao Cui frowned, continued to stare at the bottom of the pot, and the picture continued to flow, showing some scenes of killing mosquitoes and ants.
Until the little girl in the picture grows into Qin Bing, there is still no red light that can successfully pounce from the bottom of the pot.
"Pure and simple, the heart is not evil, there are people in the world."
Lao Cui stared at Qin Bing, his eyes shining.
At this moment, the rich old man had already stood up, and the red pot in front of him had become clear again.
At the same time, the upper half of the rich old man's body was almost hollowed out, revealing a terrifying skeleton.
Xu Shu said, "I understand, the bottom of this pot can reflect the evil things done in front of you."
How many evil deeds have you done, how many slices of meat do you have to cut off?
When the meat is put into the pot, the soup becomes muddy, until all the meat is simmered, and the soup becomes clear again, even if the sin is eliminated and the salvation is completed? ”
"How can you still talk!"
Xu Shu's words came out, and Lao Cui was so shocked that his body was phantom, and he stared at Xu Shu in disbelief.
"Old Cui ......"
"Lao Cui is also called by you, looking for death!"
Lao Cui suddenly changed color, slapped Xu Shu on the shoulder with one palm, and said something in his mouth.
Suddenly, Xu Shu was restrained on the seat and couldn't move.
The clear bottom of the pot finally slowly gathered out of the picture, and Xu Shu's hand grabbed the sharp knife uncontrollably.
In the picture, a five-year-old boy takes out two eggs from the bird's nest and kills the two birds.
With a swish, the red light flew out and fell into Lao Cui's mouth.
Immediately after that, the screen turns again......
The picture has been turned more than 20 times in a flash, Xu Shu does not make big mistakes, and small mistakes continue.
stealing family money, fighting, evading fares in the car, lying to others......
Lao Cui shook his head slightly, "I thought it was a fairy, but it turned out to be just a kid from an ordinary family......"
Before the thought fell, the bottom of the pot shook, and Xu Shu in the picture was already what he was now.
"What's going on, this can't be, this innocent river can shine according to the past and present life, how can it shake......"
Lao Cui fixed his eyes and looked at the bottom of the pot, and in the picture, Xu Shu, who looked disgruntled, pushed Zhang Xing away, lay on the table, and fell asleep.
"It can't be!"
Lao Cui exclaimed in surprise.
The bottom of the pot only shines on the sins of the previous life, and there will never be such a headless picture.
Suddenly, the bottom of the pot stirred violently, and the entire hot pot restaurant also vibrate.
With a loud bang, the hot pot exploded, the roof of the hot pot restaurant was lifted off, the walls on both sides collapsed, and the chaotic light bubbled up, as if some prohibition had been broken.
A group of diners turned into rolling red shadows and threw themselves towards the Qingbai River not far away.
Outside the hot pot restaurant, the carriages, knights, and pretty maids of the rich and noble old men also turned into paper men and paper horses, burning violently.
Xu Shu was shocked, and when he touched his pocket, where was the silver dollar, but it was a handful of paper money, so he grabbed it out of his pocket and burned it.
At this moment, a strong wind swept by, billowing smoke and dust covered the sky and the moon, and the wind passed through, and Qin Bing was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Shu was furious, grabbed Lao Cui, and punched him.
Xu Shu expected that the quasi-green ring had a miraculous effect on the yin things, and he swung out a fist with a green ring.
With a bang, a big hole was broken in Lao Cui's chest, and he howled in pain, but there was no blood spilling.
There was a burst of smoke, and Lao Cui's chest returned to its original state, but the whole person was a lot of giving.
Xu Shu was still waiting to fight again, Lao Cui hurriedly knelt down, "The immortal spares his life, the immortal spares his life......"
Xu Shu destroyed the hot pot restaurant first, and then injured Lao Cui Xiang's body, and Lao Cui was terrified to the extreme.
"If you want to live, hand over my people quickly."
"Shangxian Rongyu, your companion was definitely not captured by Lao Cui, most of it was the handiwork of Mr. Shouyi."
"Who's Shouichi-samachi?"
"The owner of this cage."
"What spirit cage?"
"The old decay Cui Li, is a ghost who died unjustly, wandering between heaven and earth for more than 20 years, more than ten years ago, he occasionally felt the source of power, and met the incense sacrifice at home, so he got some mana.
As for what this spirit cage is, Xiao Lao'er can't say clearly, anyway, since six years ago, after entering here, I have met Mr. Shouyi, and I have been here to survive.
Under the orders of Mr. Shouyi, he rewarded the good and punished the evil spirits who strayed here, and occasionally caught some mountain livestock for blood food, and lived happily. ”
"Reward the good and punish the evil? So what's going on with the bottom of the hot pot? ”
"The bottom of the pot is the water of the Qingbai River, if the wandering soul survives the hot pot, it will enter the Qingbai River, as for what kind of world is under the Qingbai River, I'm afraid only Mr. Shouyi can tell."
"What about the geist who can't survive?"
Lao Cui didn't answer.
Xu Shu sneered, "The trick of big fish eating small fish, you are just a mere wandering soul, dare to do such evil." ”
Lao Cui said proudly, "The old decay has entered the incense road, condensing the incense body."
In this spirit cage, it is also considered a person, otherwise Mr. Shouyi would not have sent me to guard this Qiaotou hot pot restaurant.
Dare to ask what is the way of immortal cultivation? Why is the incense body condensed like a real body? ”
"It's not for you to know, take me to Mr. Shouichi quickly."
"Coincidentally, today is Mr. Shouyi's birthday, and I am about to go to congratulate him, and the immortals can go with me."
As he spoke, Lao Cui turned to the counter and picked out a bamboo cage, there were living creatures struggling in the bamboo cage, the mouth was sealed, and through the gap, it could be seen that it was two wild boars.
"Please!"
Old Cui led the way.
Xu Shu bent down and picked up a boning knife.
Lao Cui chuckled in his heart, "Shangxian, what do you want this thing to do?" ”
Xu Shumo rubbed the sharp knife, "In the future, it should be good to use it to remove meat and eat hot pot."
Why, it's just a knife, and you can't bear it? ”
