Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Dead

That night, Tao Feiyan caught more than 100 spring and autumn cicadas in the mountain cave.

Tomorrow morning, prepare a sumptuous feast of spirit insects to make up for the cold wind.

Spirit insects are the spirits of heaven and earth, feeding on the toxins in the body of Gu worms, absorbing the elements of heaven and earth, transforming them into true power, and using them for their own use. By eating and replenishing spirit insects, people can replenish their true power and strengthen their muscles and bones.

Frying, boiling, stir-frying, and making soup are all methods of dealing with ordinary ingredients, which are fully suitable for cooking spirit worms.

While improving the taste, it will not destroy the true energy in the spirit worm's body. The Red Mill run by Tao Feiyan is very accomplished in the cooking of spirit insects, and it is said that it can make one hundred and eight dishes, which can be called a feast of spirit insects.

Han Feng looked at the spring and autumn cicadas full of nets, and smiled: "Miss Feiyan, I think it's incredible, it's just a spirit worm, your Red Mill can make a hundred and eight dishes, all kinds of dishes, how did you research it......"

The two of them walked out of the cave at the bottom of the mountain, came to the hall on the second floor of the pavilion, and sat together.

Tao Feiyan carried it in his hand, a net of spring and autumn cicadas, jumping around and full of spirituality.

"Here's the thing, I've been frail and sickly since I was a child, and my physique is very poor, so my mother helped me find a home remedy to eat and replenish spirit worms. Unexpectedly, it was very effective, not only did I have less diseases, but my body gradually strengthened a lot. Due to my young age, at the beginning, I felt disgusted when I saw insects, and my mother tried to persuade me to eat them, so I devised various methods to cook spirit insects. One hundred and eight dishes, more than a dozen of which were taught to me by my mother. “

Han Feng nodded and smiled: "Spirit insects are scarce in the Empty Valley Dojo, and many people don't know about spirit insects. Even in the Xiuzhen world, spirit insects have the same tonic medicinal properties as cordyceps, which are good nourishing products. ”

"Yes, in order to explore the medicinal value of spirit insects and benefit thousands of families, I have been studying spirit insects since I was a child, from spring and autumn cicadas to cockroaches, from cold fly spiders to sunset, and slowly summed up the methods of domesticating spirit insects. The number of spirit insects raised gradually increased, and they began to be introduced to the market. In order to improve the taste and meet the needs of all kinds of tastes, I cook by myself, secretly brewing nearly 100 cooking methods, blanching, frying, stir-frying, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, all kinds of flavors, everything. Tao Feiyan said eloquently.

"Awesome, Miss Feiyan, as far as I know, there is no restaurant in the Xiuzhen world that can have so many ways to burn spirit worms. ”

The cold wind looked at the spring and autumn cicadas jumping in front of him, thinking that tomorrow, a table full of cicada feasts, sweet and full of relish.

Tao Feiyan grinned: "Childe has won the award, in this way, in order to thank Childe for his kindness, I will personally cook tomorrow morning and set up a table of cicada feasts to reward Childe." ”

"This can't be helped, Miss Feiyan just arranges for others to do it, I don't have too high requirements for the taste of spirit insects. ”

"What I do is not necessarily as good as the chef in the Moulin Rouge, but Childe is kind to me, and I just want to show a little gratitude. I haven't cooked a spirit worm in a few years, so I need to familiarize myself with it before firing it this time. “

Tao Feiyan looked calm, her tone was modest, fresh and elegant.

Hanfeng had no choice but to accept it happily: "Then there is Miss Lao, and there is one more thing I want to ask." Spirit insects feed on Gu worms, what is the food of Gu worms, last time I saw you buy cuttlefish from Datun Town, I was thinking, in the valley of Qianmu Cliff, there are millions of Gu worms, how did they survive......"

Last time, in the snowy weather, he released his soul perception and observed that in the valley area with a width of one hundred meters and a depth of ten miles, the number of Gu insects was absolutely astronomical.

Tao Feiyan bit her lower lip lightly, thoughtfully, put down the Spring and Autumn Cicada in her hand, looked solemn, and said, "Childe asked me this question, it can be regarded as the right person." In the valley, the mystery of Gu worm's food has long been known to me, but I don't dare to say it. ”

I dare not say it, there must be something strange in it.

"What, don't you dare to say, why so?"

"For example, most of the Gu worms I raise feed on cuttlefish, which has two major characteristics, one is that it contains toxins in its body, and the other is that it feeds on carrion. It can be inferred that the food of the Gu worms in the valley also has these two conditions. So...... Millions of Gu worms eat an astonishing amount of food, and their food sources are a bit appalling. Tao Feiyan was apprehensive, and her face changed.

The cold wind had a premonition of something, and after thinking about it, he was extremely frightened, and thought of the undead near the gully valley area, and suddenly realized.

"What do you mean to say that the Gu worms in the valley feed on carrion corpses...... It's incredible, it's a little scary. ”

The Dead Soul Gu is the largest burial ground in the Hollow Valley Dojo, mortals only have a hundred years of life, and no less than 100,000 corpses are buried in the Dead Valley every year.

100,000 corpses are more than enough to feed millions of Gu worms.

Tao Feiyan calmed down, softened a little, and said, "I didn't expect at first that the Gu worms there would actually feed on carrion corpses. In the process of raising Gu worms, he noticed it, and went deep into the valley many times to conduct inspections. It was found that between the gully area and the undead nest, there is a migration road, and every spring when the flowers bloom, a large number of Gu worms will migrate to the undead valley to mate and lay eggs. In autumn, a large number of new generation Gu worms migrated back from the undead. ”

In this way, he realized the real reason why the Holy Heavenly Gate had set up a Gu worm breeding base in the Empty Valley Dojo.

The essence of the difference between the Empty Valley Dojo and the cultivation world lies in the people, the mortals of the Empty Valley Dojo, and the cultivators of the cultivation world.

The lifespan of mortals is only 100 years, and the average lifespan of cultivators is more than 1,000 years, and the population base is about the same. The population of the Hollow Valley Dojo is relatively concentrated, and the cultivators are scattered all over the place.

In the entire Eastern Continent, only a place like the Dead Soul will bury 100,000 people every year, and there are so many corpses that can be used.

Han Feng gasped and said with emotion: "The rotten corpse will produce corpse poison, which is very toxic, which is very similar to the cuttlefish. Above the tomb of the dead, the mausoleums and graves are all over the mountains. The valley is not far from the undead, and the valley is chosen to raise Gu insects, which is the right time and place. ”

"That's right, the valley is naturally good, and the Gu worms raised are of high quality. In the valley, there are also some spirit insects, the grade of the spirit insects there is very high, I have seen some, but the spirit is too strong, I can't catch it at all. “

Where there are Gu worms, there must be spirit worms.

"By the way, Feiyan girl, how much do you know about a spirit insect called lice, I noticed a trace of lice on the shore of the Heavenly Realm Lake......"

Peliculus – also known as meson.

A kind of wind-type spirit worm that can refine wind-based elements, and the grade is quite high, and it can evolve step by step.

Seven metamorphoses, seven rounds of evolution, divided into first-order lice, second-order lice, and third-order lice...... Seventh-order lice!

Tao Feiyan pondered for a moment, remembered something, and said softly: "The lice are also known as mesons, which can evolve step by step, and the initial stage is very small, and it belongs to the weaker category of elyticer. I have never seen Wujiezi in the valley, there are many spirit insects there, some spirit insects are bloodthirsty and cruel, and the phenomenon of spirit insects hunting spirit insects occurs from time to time. It is difficult for mesons to thrive in a valley environment. “

Biological evolution has a special law, the more advanced the species, the longer the feeding cycle.

General Gu worms and spirit insects are all adult worms in one year, no more than three years at most, similar to the high-level spirit insect species of meson, which is an adult insect in ten years.

Han Feng understood and nodded: "Okay, I know, the natural ecology in the gully valley is much more complicated than I imagined. ”

"Yes, there are so many species, there are millions, and my scalp is tingling when I think about it......"

Tao Feiyan smiled and said, "Childe, it's a little late, you can rest early, early tomorrow morning, get up early, and taste my spirit worm feast." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for Miss Feiyan. ”
