Chapter 152: Three-grade spring rolls, second-grade goose paws, and first-grade centipedes
Moon Mountain is also known as Bright Moon Peak.
This mountain peak is not particularly tall, and there is no dare to raise its voice, fearing the majesty of the heavenly people.
The most peculiar place is that there is a natural large stone arch at the top of the mountain, which runs through on both sides, and looks like a bright moon from a distance, and there is a different kind of sacredness.
Riding a horse speeding down the mountain, the shape of the stone arch gradually changes from a curved first quarter moon to a half moon and a full moon due to the constant change of sight.
After half a circle, it changes from a full moon to a second quarter and then a full moon.
The people who live near Moon Mountain, in addition to Hei Miao, there are also Zhuang, Yi and other tribes.
In that year, Zhuge Liang captured seven and seven longitudinal Meng, and he led troops to this place, teaching the people to dig wells and cultivate fields, repair rivers, and build salt wells, and the people were deeply grateful.
Moon Mountain is simple and elegant, quiet and comfortable, banyan shade and ancient crossing, flowing water, green fields, a leisurely pastoral scenery, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Feeling the quiet atmosphere in the mountains and forests, Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh: "Comfortable, after living here for three or five years, the whole person will become transparent." ”
Feng Siniang said angrily: "How transparent? ”
Shen Lian stretched comfortably: "Of course, it is comfortable from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, this place is really wonderful, and the moonlight is really rich." ”
Perhaps because of the name, or perhaps because of the unique feng shui pattern, near Moon Mountain, the Taiyin Moon is very rich, and even during the day, you can feel the silky soft, cool, and silky flowing wind.
Shen Lian has made a breakthrough in his martial arts recently, and he has unexpectedly created pure yang qi, and his whole body is warm.
Now I feel the moon and the moon, it is the sun and the sun that reflect each other, and I feel that every cell in my body opens its mouth and swallows the spiritual charm of the mountains and rivers.
Riding forward, Shen Lian did not grasp the reins with both hands, but crossed his middle and ring fingers left and right, raised his thumb, index finger, and tail finger, and joined left and right.
This is the "Inner Eight Character Seal", which is the "Person" character formula in the nine-character mantra mudra, which can repair the damage of the body internally, and contact the aura of heaven and earth externally.
The spiritual power of all things is at my disposal, round and flawless.
This so-called "everything", of course, including the good horse under the crotch, does not need to pull the reins, the kind of qi that is one between heaven and man, can perfectly control the war horse.
Unconsciously, Shen Lian's slightly chaotic mind entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
If there is a master who is good at qi contemplation, he can see the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in a radius of a hundred zhang, swept into a huge funnel, and constantly infused into Shen Lian's body.
Old Man Tang glanced at Shen Lian, and then he didn't continue to pay attention, but just seriously guarded Mu Ying.
This has been his habit for many years.
Anyone can relax, but Old Man Tang definitely cannot, he is Mu Ying's last barrier.
There was a big fat man beside Old Man Tang.
Tall and fat, three laps stronger than Shen Lian, even if his weight is not three hundred catties, at least two hundred and eight.
His name is Tang Zhuquan, the son of the old man Tang.
It's hard to imagine that the thin old man Tang has such a fat son, but he is indeed the son of the old man Tang, and his lifelong hobbies are wine and food.
What's even more unimaginable is that Tang Zhuquan's major in martial arts is not a heavy weapon, but he is good at fingering.
His fingering is sharp and ever-changing, several points higher than Duan Yanqing, and his combat skills are also extremely flexible, and the threat is far greater than Duan Yanqing.
According to Tang Zhuquan's habit, he should carry a wine jar with bamboo leaf green wine.
But now that he is in the barracks, if he dares to drink a drop of wine, Old Man Tang will never mind personally pressing Tang Zhuquan on the board and beating him with thirty military sticks.
In fact, the appearance of Old Man Tang is not only far from his own son, but also even more different from his own daughter.
Tang Zhuquan is just a wide body and fat body, which is equivalent to an old man Tang who is magnified three times, and his eyebrows and eyes are quite similar.
Tang Zhujun, the daughter of the old man Tang, is very different from the old man Tang, Tang Zhujun is a famous beauty in the rivers and lakes, and the beauty list ranks fourth.
It is necessary to know that the list of beauties in rivers and lakes has always been Cihang Jingzhai occupying the top spot, and there has been no exception for thousands of years.
This generation of Cihang Jingzhai has two disciples, so it occupies the first two, and the third is the Void Night Moon.
Void Night Moon is the daughter of the "Ghost King".
It stands to reason that as the "county lord", she should not be more beautiful than the characters in the rivers and lakes, but Xuyeyue insists on being on the beauty list, who would dare to refuse her?
With the power of nothingness, as well as the beauty of the closed moon and shy flowers, the Void Night Moon ranked third, and most people felt that it was very suitable, and few people expressed their opposition.
Tang Zhujun ranked fourth, which shows that her beauty can overpower Gongsun Lan, Murong Qiudi, Lian Nishang and other stunning beauties, which shows how amazing her appearance is.
Old Man Tang is a dry and thin old man, but he can have such a beautiful daughter, it is completely conceivable how beautiful Mrs. Tang is and how elegant her temperament is.
Such a beautiful beauty, of course, attracts countless people in the rivers and lakes to pursue, but it is all wishful thinking.
Tang Zhujun and Long Chengbi, the third young master of the Long family in Jinan Mansion, have feelings for each other, Shen Lian was handling a case in Jinan last year, and originally wanted to ask Long Chengbi to draw a knife to help, but he happened to go to the Tang family to propose marriage, which made Shen Lian feel quite a pity.
On this trip to Moon Mountain, Old Man Tang only brought his son, but not his son-in-law.
It's a pity that I can't see that peerless fast knife!
……
After more than 1,000 years of governance, Miaojiang is by no means an ancient era of slash-and-burn farming, with ridges, ditches, and wells everywhere, and you can also see several private schools and village schools.
Of course, the most intoxicating thing is the Miao girl wearing a blue background juanxiu dress and delicate silver jewelry.
Shen Lian knows a lot of carving masters, Xu Xiaoyi is quite good at carving, Zhu Zhu can make ingenious gold and silverware, but the most beautiful silver jewelry is always the delicate silver crown worn on the head of Miao Nu.
Such exquisite silver jewelry, if you don't appreciate it a few times, it is simply a violent thing.
Don't talk about Shen Lian, even serious people like Li Xunhuan and Xu Xiaoyi can't help but take a few more looks.
"It's beautiful, these silver ornaments are beautiful."
Hearing Shen Lian's words, Feng Siniang's hand on Shen Lian's back waist was silently retracted.
"You like silver so much?"
"I have traveled north and south, and I have seen countless tribes, but I think the most beautiful clothing is Miao clothing, especially the silver jewelry of Miao people, the more you look at it, the more people like it."
Xu Xiaoyi asked: "Senior brother, do you think Miao clothes are the most beautiful, when you get married, do you want to hold a wedding in Miao Village or a wedding of the Han family?" ”
Shen Lian didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Of course it's the wedding of the Han family, and you have to wear red when you get married, and you can buy a few sets of seedling clothes for my wife in the future." ”
Mu Ying quipped: "The kid is right, the Miao costume is indeed very beautiful, and I really don't get tired of looking at it, but when I get married, I still have to wear a big red wedding dress." ”
Shen Lian asked curiously, "General, when you got married, you seemed to be wearing armor, right?" ”
Mu Ying was very proud when she heard this: "I relied on my heroic posture to get the favor of my wife, of course I want to wear armor, she likes to see me wear armor!" ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
Mu Ying's wife's name is Ning Caixia, and his father-in-law's name is Ning Bobiao, who is friends with Chang Yuchun, and is good at using the Eight Treasures Golden Silk Soft Rattan Gun, and his martial arts are extremely high.
At that time, Ning Bobiao was in a hostile force, and when he was fighting, he lost Mu Ying and Xu Fang in a row, and Chang Yuchun and Ning Bobiao fought for 300 rounds, and in the end it was still a draw.
Later, Ning Bobiao took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, and under the mediation of Hu Dahai, Mu Ying and Ning Caixia became acquainted.
Then Mu Ying became more and more mature.
On the one hand, because of marriage, there is responsibility.
On the one hand, because of force, he can't beat his father-in-law.
If you can't beat your father-in-law, then you can only be honest, otherwise your father-in-law will start a fire, and it will really hurt to beat someone.
All the way without incident, and it was safe to reach Moon Mountain.
Chief Heimiao took the three priests to go out to greet Mu Ying, and then according to the etiquette, he put out three elaborate delicacies, which was a small test.
It is not the etiquette of the Miao people, but when the saint takes over, there must be external etiquette, but every outsider who watches the ceremony will undergo the corresponding test.
If it was a martial arts person, it would naturally test the martial arts skills, but if it was Mu Ying, they would have ten guts, and it would be impossible to fight with Mu Ying.
Put out three delicacies, let Mu Ying taste them, and analyze how to make them, even if they have passed the test.
If the analysis is correct, everyone is happy.
If the analysis is wrong, it should be lively.
The chief is naturally very clear about the changes in the land of Miaojiang, and if Mu Ying lets his subordinates taste it instead, he will not say anything, and he will even feel happy.
Mu Ying understood the chief's thoughts very well, and waved his hand very magnificently: "Old man, there are three Ming heroes by my side, so let the three heroes accept the test for me, and let them know that there is a sky outside the sky!" ”
Shen Lian, Xu Xiaoyi, and Li Xunhuan, the three of them stood up at the same time and quietly guessed their fists.
Xu Xiaoyi had the best luck and tasted it first.
The dish he eats is spring rolls, called "Sanpin fried spring rolls", and he needs to taste all the ingredients.
The seventeen-year-old beautiful Miao girl walked up to Xu Xiaoyi with a silver plate and asked Xu Xiaoyi to taste the food.
The three-inch-long spring rolls are placed horizontally in the silver plate, the outer layer of tofu skin is like white snow, and the two ends are slightly dewed with a clump of turquoise, which is held on a silver plate, which is not only beautiful, but also tests the poison.
Xu Xiao picked up the spring rolls and bit them gently, and the spring rolls made a sound of "chirping", which was quite similar to the sound of silk and bamboo.
Xu Xiao smiled and said: "This dish uses Yunnan Daijia mutton fat tofu externally, and toon buds before the rain in Taihu Lake, wrapped in green silkworms that grew up eating Miaojiang golden silk mulberry leaves.
The so-called 'three products' should refer to the time when eating this dish, one is the color, the second is the sound, and the third is the freshness, am I right? ”
"Mr. Xu is well-informed and admired!"
As soon as Xu Xiao passed the test, the next delicious dish was Li Xunhuan, and the dish he ate was goose paws.
It is not an ordinary goose paw, but a special goose paw with the body, and when you touch it with chopsticks, the goose's body is shattered, leaving only the fat roasted goose paw.
The dish is made with great cruelty.
Need to put the goose in the iron plate cage, a bowl of special seasoning is half-hung in the cage, the charcoal fire under the iron plate is blazing, the fat goose on the board is running endlessly, exhausted, vomiting out the fishy breath in the body, and constantly sipping the seasoning because of thirst.
When the goose feathers are gone, the meat inside the skin is cooked and fragrant, and the essence falls on the goose paws, the dish is completed.
Although these dishes were delicious, they were prepared in a cruel way that was not suitable for entertaining Mu Ying, and the chief deliberately laid out this dish to imply that he was a fat goose on fire.
Wrong!
He may be a fat goose!
Or maybe it's the fat goose as a way out.
I don't want to make a move, I don't want to jump, but I was forced by the fire to have to jump, I have heard for a long time that General Mu knows everything, you will definitely forgive me, right?
Li Xunhuan's face was silent, and after eating the roasted goose paws, he left the last dish to Shen Lian.
It's a giant centipede.
The centipede is more than two feet long, and a pair of large jaws in front of the head shake slightly from time to time, exuding the aroma of wine, which is obviously similar to a drunken shrimp and a drunken crab, which is a drunken centipede.
Miao Jiang has been known for being highly poisonous, whether it is the Five Poisons Sect or the Five Immortal Sect, they are all good at raising centipedes.
Such a large centipede must cost a lot of resources to cultivate, and it can't just be used for food.
Centipedes are poisonous!
Highly toxic!
Shen Lian's face was expressionless, and he flicked lightly at the centipede's head, the centipede suddenly woke up, and bit Shen Lian hard, Shen Lian grabbed it lightly with his left hand, and brushed it from beginning to end, and the centipede suddenly stiffened and did not move.
Shen Lian stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly at the centipede's tail, and the centipede was stimulated and put away all the tentacles, like a "one" word.
The preliminary preparations have been completed, of course Shen Lian will not be polite, tearing and pulling, the whole crystal clear centipede meat was grabbed out of the shell by Shen Lian.
At the core of the centipede meat, there are even soybean-sized turquoise beads, which are called centipede beads, which are the essence of centipedes, specializing in all kinds of centipede poisons.
Shen Lian opened his mouth and swallowed the whole centipede meat in one gulp, and the beads were silently hidden in his wrist.
This trick is called palm hiding in magic, and it is called sleeve arrow in a thousand arts, and it is also called a dark horse crossing the forest, Shen Lian's fingers are extremely flexible, and no one finds Shen Lian's secret hand.
After eating three delicious dishes, it can be regarded as passing the test.
Mu Ying didn't say anything, Tang Zhuquan felt a little pity, and couldn't help but smack his lips, he loved food and wine the most in his life, and the food was in front, but he didn't have to eat, he just felt extremely depressed, and his saliva was about to flow out.
Feng Siniang asked quietly, "Why didn't you eat centipede beads?" Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? ”
"How do you know I didn't eat?"
"You have nimble fingers, and with a slight pick, you can tuck the beads into your sleeve, and I don't see you swallowing them, but I see your fingers twitching."
"You even see that?"
"Don't change the subject."
"The centipede itself is not poisonous, the poison sac has long been removed, and it is not a centipede bead, but a special gel bead, which is specially used to hide toxins."
"What do you mean?"
"After the gel beads are entered, they will be gradually digested by gastric juice, and the medicine inside will be spilled out, mixed with the spices of centipede meat, which is highly poisonous."
This method of poisoning is quite clever.
The seemingly hideous centipede does not actually have any toxins, and it cannot be detected with a silver plate.
The centipede beads that seem to be detoxifying actually hide time-delay mechanisms that can form a combination of poisons.
This method can't be concealed from Shen Lian.
Shen Lian knew a long time ago the method of wrapping the pill in the intestines of sheep and hiding the medicine in the stomach.
When fighting, it automatically regenerates blood and returns to blue!
