267 Celestial Dragon Emperor Fish
In the picture scroll, all are the dishes outside the building, what is even more amazing is that there is a hot mist on the dishes, if you stare at which dish, you can smell the fragrance of the dish, which shows that this picture scroll is a fairy magic weapon of high rank.
Xu Tianran watched them one by one from beginning to end, and it was not much inferior to the most exquisite palace food in the world, which gave Xu Tianran a new understanding of the demon world.
It is said in the world that Hengduan is a wild and uncivilized place, and the demon clan is a barbarian who drinks blood, if you can see the food outside the building with your own eyes, there are Confucian sages who say, you don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine.
Xu Tianran looks at such a city, the streets and pavilions are all in the style of the Central Plains, it seems that the demon lord is also particularly longing for the culture of the world, otherwise how can there be such exquisite food as Louwailou?
"Shopkeeper, which is the signature dish of the building outside the building?" asked Xu Tianran.
The shopkeeper grovelled and smiled impeccably: "Naturally, it is a specialty of East Lake. ”
"What kind of fish is this?"
"Arowana fish is more than ten catties, it is the first delicacy in the demon world, the Arowana fish fished from East Lake every year is extremely rare, Arowana can only grow a catty in ten years, and the Arowana is only mature when it is ten catties, and it can barely be eaten. If you want to really eat the fattest Arowana, you have to wait for three hundred and thirty-three years, at this time the Arowana is thirty-three catties and three taels, and the meat is the most tender and fat. This fish is called the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, and there are only seven of them caught in the entire East Lake for thousands of years, and the noble Demon Lord has only tasted it twice. The shopkeeper told me.
As far as Lotte was concerned, what the shopkeeper said seemed to be a fantasy, so he questioned: "Why is the Tianlong Emperor Fish of 33 catties and 3 taels the fattest, and it is not good to be worse than one or two?"
The shopkeeper smiled heartily: "It's really not good, once the dragon fish reaches thirty-three catties and three taels, the meat is delicious and reaches the peak, and then, the dragon emperor fish will gradually open its wisdom, once it has the wisdom, in order to save its own life, it will be extremely smart to refine its flesh as hard as a stone, not to mention that it is not delicious, that is, the teeth will be broken." And less than thirty-three catties and three taels, it can be eaten, but the taste is just a little bit worse, and the real gluttony is naturally eating it when the Tianlong Emperor Fish is the fattest. ”
Xu Tianran thought about it, and naturally he was afraid that he would not have this opportunity to eat the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, but it seemed that it was not bad to be able to eat the Heavenly Dragon Fish, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, what you said is so amazing, so what is the method of the Heavenly Dragon Fish?"
Rao is the shopkeeper's well-informed vision, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and exclaimed: "I have eaten Arowana twice in my life, and the taste is still endless, and I can't help but drool every time I think about it." Xu Gongzi is an expert in asking this question, and the practice of the building outside the building is to eat six fish with the fattest fish belly, the fish head as soup, one side of the fish meat as balls, the other side of the fish meat is boiled, the fish fin is steamed, and the fish bone is fried. ”
Uray had only heard of the delicacy of the dragon fish, but he had never tasted it, but just listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Harazi couldn't help but flow down.
Mu Lengqing is as lonely as ever, for her, she is not particular about eating, not dressing, the only thing that can make her raise her spirit is to kill, she is a little nostalgic for the days in the shadows, where do you know that since the assassination of Chen Xiangsong and Guo Yiyao...... When the gods were married, they embarked on a road of no return, and now they are more saints than saints.
Whether it is Chen Qianqiu or Xu Tianran, they are mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law when they do things, and they like to reason with others the most, Mu Leng Halal doesn't understand, what is there to talk about.
Mu Lengqing's truth is just one word, kill.
Whoever makes himself unhappy, kill.
Whoever pleases himself, kill.
Whoever stands in his way, kill.
Whoever does not stand in his way, kill.
Bad guys, kill.
Good people, also kill.
Xu Tianran once asked Mu Lengqing, "Killing bad people, everyone understands this truth, what is the truth of killing good people?"
Mu Lengqing scratched his head, blinked his eyes, and after a while, he made a nonsense, "If a good person doesn't catch all the bad guys, he can't be a good person, and he should be killed." ”
Xu Tianran obviously knew that this truth was thought up by Mu Lengqing temporarily, where did it make sense for her to kill, she just wanted to kill someone.
It's just that if you think about this crooked reasoning a little, it seems that there is a little bit of rubbing to the edge of the truth, if you are blindly timid and afraid of things, a good person who does bad things and does evil is not a good person, right?
However, in the vast world, the requirements for people cannot be too high, it is really difficult for good people to abide by the law and discipline, and good people to act bravely.
In the rivers and lakes, in the world, being alone is a little indifferent, but it is also a last resort kindness.
The gluttonous worms in Xu Tianran's stomach were also aroused, and he hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper, the dragon fish is very expensive that day, we can't afford it." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "Xu Gongzi Casino spends a lot of money, I admire it very much, and its Arowana is priceless but priceless, after all, for thousands of years, the guests who can eat the Arowana have never paid a piece of soul, they are all famous and moving big people in the city, and they are naturally the guests of the building." Xu Gongzi has excellent luck this time, today is just the day when the dragon fish closes the net, as for the harvest geometry depends on the will of God, if there is a harvest, it should be the landlord outside the building to entertain Xu Gongzi. ”
Xu Tianran hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you to the shopkeeper, I dare not be a guest outside the building, but I am willing to be friends with the outside of the building, and I hope that the shopkeeper will not be disgusted." ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Where is Gongzi Xu, my surname is Situ, and the elder brother is hundreds of years old, so he has the cheekiness to call himself an elder brother, but I hope that Brother Xu will not be disgusted." ”
Xu Tianran hurriedly stood up, and immediately poured out a pot of Taibai Immortal Brew from the gourd on his waist, poured two large glasses full, and said happily to the shopkeeper: "The younger generation has the courage to call you Brother Situ, how about being that year-old friend?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "Great goodness." ”
Mu Lengqing really didn't understand that the men had not drunk people with a pot of wine, and they began to call themselves brothers and sisters in a dizzy manner.
Zhengxuan Lao Dao gently pulled the placket of Lotte's clothes, leaned into Lotte's ear, and said softly: "Watch more and learn more, it will be of great benefit to you." ”
Lotte turned his head, he naturally knew that the master was asking him to learn more about the surname Xu, but Lotte thought that no one would learn from him, the more Lao Dao said, the more Lotte was working against Lao Dao.
The old man was helpless, so he could only drink alone, and he seemed to have endless sorrows.
Even a person as cold as Mu Lengqing felt that Xu Tianran and the shopkeeper's warm appearance made people get goosebumps, obviously they had ghosts, but their faces were as pure as a white lotus, this kind of hypocrisy, Mu Lengqing couldn't help but shudder.
After the shopkeeper had drunk the good wine, he took his leave and went to collect the fish.
Ouray followed the shopkeeper, but was kicked back by the shopkeeper.
Although the East Lake is not very broad, but the net depth is thousands of feet, the Arowana fish swims in the deepest part of the lake, not to mention that the East Lake is the private property of the building outside the building, it is really let go of outsiders to catch fish, I am afraid that I can't catch a dragonfish.
About half an hour later, the shopkeeper went and returned, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Brother Xu, the eighth Tianlong Emperor fish in the past thousand years came out of the water, according to the rules of the building outside the building, this fish will belong to you, brother." ”
The taste of Arowana is not only delicious, but also very beneficial to the monk's cultivation, that is, ordinary mortals can prolong their life after eating Arowana.
Xu Tianran hit the big luck and ate the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, which can not only benefit the soul, but also treat the imperceptible dark wounds in the body, and the most important thing is to purify the blockage of the spiritual veins and acupoints, so that the flow of spiritual power is smoother, in a sense, even Yu Dao is also very beneficial.
In the long time of practice, over time, the spiritual veins and points will gradually form a blockage, and in the long run, the spiritual power flow of the spiritual veins and acupoints in the whole body will become slow, and the stored spiritual power will be reduced a lot.
Therefore, even if it is a demon monarch, he has eaten the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish twice, and every time he eats the demon monarch, he feels that his whole body is refreshed and full of vitality, this feeling is as if a middle-aged person has returned to his youth overnight, and his tired body has regained its youth and vitality, which is wonderful.
Xu Tianran felt that his luck in the past few days was really too good, and he was a little unbelievable, "Brother Situ won't trick me, right?"
"Brother, what are you talking about, no one can fool you?"
Xu Tianran arched his hand, "Brother sit down together, this kind of delicacy can't be missed." ”
"There are rules outside the building, if it's just a dragon fish, the old brother will not be polite to the old brother, but the dragon emperor fish, the old brother doesn't dare to sit down, it's not that he doesn't believe in the sincerity of the old brother, it's really not allowed by the rules. ”
Xu Tianran no longer insisted, and said curiously: "Brother, the younger brother has never seen the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, can you take me to palm the eye?"
The shopkeeper thought about it, and it was okay, but he didn't need Xu Tianran to go to the kitchen to see the Tianlong Emperor Fish, but let the two guys directly carry the Tianlong Emperor Fish of thirty-three catties and three taels directly into the private room.
Wu Lei also saw the Tianlong Emperor Fish for the first time, and saw that the Tianlong Emperor Fish was snow-white all over, exuding a faint white light, as moving as a warm white jade.
Xu Tianran got up, walked in front of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, gently stroked the fish's head, and vaguely saw a few pearl tears quietly falling from the eyes of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish.
Xu Tianran couldn't help asking: "Brother, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish has spiritual wisdom, and I seem to feel its inner crying." ”
Xu Tianran spied into the heart of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, although he didn't understand the meaning of the sound it made, but Xu Tianran saw several pictures buried in its heart, which made Xu Tianran vaguely feel a little bad.
The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand, "Brother, this Tianlong Emperor Fish is already one step away from being enlightened, once it is opened, it will be worthless, taking advantage of the fact that the Tianlong Emperor Fish is the fattest and not yet enlightened, the elder brother is not in a hurry to make a decision, cook it, and it will be difficult to meet if you miss it." ”
Uray wanted to echo the shopkeeper's words, but he didn't have any status, and he sat at a table of four people, and he was an outsider who stood and served his master.
However, Wu Lei also figured it out, such a big Tianlong Emperor Fish can be eaten by four people at one table, how can he pick up some leftovers and burn it coldly, but it is also the most expensive delicacy in the demon world.
Lotte saw that the big round eyes of the Tianlong Emperor Fish seemed to be weeping, and he felt compassion for a while, "The surname is Xu, the big fish is really crying, are you willing to eat it?"
Lao Dao stepped heavily on Lotte's broken straw shoes under the table, Lotte grinned in pain, but he still stubbornly turned his head, Lao Tzu went against the surname Xu to the end, I oppose everything you support, and I support everything you oppose.
Xu Tianran closed his eyes, his thoughts seemed to fall into the long river of time, he seemed to be incarnated as a juvenile Arowana, the young Arowana lived at the bottom of the East Lake, carefree, but did not dare to surface easily.
The elders said that the two-legged man on the top of the water was the most dangerous, more dangerous than any other vicious beast.
The little dragon fish doesn't believe it either, but the rules of the clan are that they are not allowed to come to the surface of the water if they are born less than a hundred years old.
The young fish yearn for the unknown surface world, but the big fish are tight-lipped and just tell the little fish that the outside world is dangerous and that they just need to stay safe and secure underwater.
The little fish was curious about the outside world, broke free from the shackles of the clan, and quietly swam to the water, which was the first time it saw the lake and mountains, the first time it bathed in the sun, and the first time it knew that the sky was high and the sea was wide.
However, when Xiao Yu'er was wandering leisurely, he was almost captured by two spirit monsters that transformed into human forms, and Xiao Yu'er quickly sank to the bottom of the water, never daring to surface easily.
After a long time, the little fish gradually became a big fish, and it also began to warn the little fish that it was very dangerous and could not be secretly up, but never told the little fish that the scenery above was infinitely better.
Xu Tianran slowly opened his eyes, the shopkeeper said that the dragon fish was not open, but Xu Tianran knew that the dragon fish was like a spirit fish clan, and it had been enlightened since he was a child.
Why did the shopkeeper deceive himself on this matter, Xu Tianran still didn't know, and said calmly: "Brother Situ, the Tianlong Emperor Fish is so cute, how can we bear to eat it, I decided not to eat it for the time being, since this Tianlong Emperor Fish belongs to us, I plan to raise it in captivity first, and then make plans later." ”
The shopkeeper's unmoved expression was just a little anxious, "Brother, do you not believe your brother?" This Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish is extremely rare, counting this one, there are only eight in the thousand-year history of East Lake, and this Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish is about to open the spirit, once it is opened, it will miss the most proud delicacy of Prajna City.
Besides, in the hundreds of years of history of the building, there has never been a diner who has eaten the dragon fish and the dragon emperor fish, and it will be difficult for the old brother to be so unruly. ”
Xu Tianran put his arm around the shopkeeper's shoulder, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, brother, I will never embarrass you, it's just that you also said that the fish is mine, I will reluctantly accept it, if anyone comes to trouble me, let him let the horse come, with our brothers here, who dares to spread wild on our heads?"
After a righteous rhetoric, the shopkeeper almost believed it.
Xu Tianran and the shopkeeper hooked shoulders and backs, quietly moved to the side of the Dragon Emperor Fish, Xu Tianran's left hand spiritual power moved slightly, gently stroked the Dragon Emperor Fish, only to see that the Dragon Emperor Fish was bound by a strong spiritual power, the whole body like jade was like glass, a dazzling light shone, the body of the Dragon Emperor Fish shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and directly turned into a two-finger-wide fish.
Seeing this scene, Lotte couldn't help but rub his eyes again, what is the situation, how did such a big fish become so small?
The tide of Xu's natural spiritual power flowed at his fingertips, creating a small pond for the little fish, and the fish could actually swim in the tide of Xu's natural spiritual power.
The shopkeeper's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said calmly: "How did the Tianlong Emperor Fish get smaller, my brother is really unlucky." ”
Xu Tianran didn't debunk the shopkeeper's lies, and smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, it's not too late to eat it when it grows up, but I don't know if the meat is fresh or not after the opening of the spirit?"
The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, "Brother, since the Tianlong Emperor Fish is no longer eating, let's have some more dishes, you now have a great reputation in Praruo City, and you can't turn back and let the family blame the old brother for neglecting you." ”
"Just a few of the usual signature dishes, completely up to my brother's arrangement. ”
"Okay, brother, do you want my brother to take care of this fish for you first, and then give it to you after eating?"
Xu's natural spiritual vein opened, and the little fish merged into the spiritual vein with the tide of spiritual power, swinging their little tails happily in the tide of Xu's vast main spiritual vein, which was indescribably happy.
"Don't bother my brother, just put it in my spiritual veins first. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare, you can wait a moment. ”
Lotte's stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and he and the master played a duet from time to time.
Mu Lengqing asked, "Is there anything strange in this?"
Xu Tianran said calmly: "Well, you also know the hidden spiritual power prohibition on the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, they want us to eat this enlightened Heavenly Dragon Emperor Fish, there must be a plot, fortunately, we found it in time, and they did not succeed in their conspiracy." ”
"How did you find out what's weird?"
"I, my luck in this life is not too good, how can I hit the big luck as soon as I come to the outer building, there are only eight Tianlong Emperor fish in a thousand years to eat, there must be a demon when things go wrong, what do you say, Mu Dajian Immortal." ”
Mu Leng smiled charmingly, as if the cold ice and snow mountains were melting, and the mountains were gradually opening up, "How can there be a sword fairy with a kitchen knife in the world." ”
"What Mu Jianxian said is very true, tomorrow I will let the old lame man open the furnace to cast the sword, otherwise, I will ......"
"Otherwise?"
Otherwise, I will kneel down and beg him. ”
Mu Lengqing found that along the way with the surname Xu, his murderous intent didn't seem to be so heavy, and he was in a good mood, "It's really an iron-clad Xu Dadao Immortal." ”
Lotte frowned slightly, I have heard that others are sword immortals, how have I ever heard that there is a Laoshizi sword immortal, besides, the surname Xu and the iron bone Zheng Zheng eight poles can't fight.
Wu Lei looked a little depressed, the original legendary feast was in front of him, but let the master bury it in vain, thirty-three catties and three taels of the best Tianlong Emperor Fish became a small fish with two fingers wide, and now it is the lower mouth, and it is not enough for one person and one chopstick.
The meal was finally eaten without waves, without the Tianlong Emperor Fish, Xu Tianran also tasted the East Lake vinegar fish, but Xu Tianran had a heavy taste, and he didn't think the sweet and sour vinegar fish was very delicious, but Mu Jianxian liked the East Lake vinegar fish very much.
The sky is getting dark, and the huge Praruo City is in danger, where should Xu Tianran and his group of five hide?
Xu Tianran and Mu Lengqing took a deep look, and said apologetically: "Mu Jianxian, if you don't dislike it, let's go back to the building?"
Mu Lengqing held two kitchen knives in his hands, and the blades of the kitchen knives scraped each other, making a piercing sound, "Let's go, let's kill those charming foxes." ”
Xu Tianran hurriedly stopped Mu Lengqing, "Mu Jianxian, let's go to the prostitute, not use knives and guns, shout and kill." ”
Mu Lengqing put the two kitchen knives behind him, nodded and said, "Okay, it's all up to Xu Daoxian's arrangement." ”
