Chapter 12 12
The colorful first day after Lu Bao became a demon finally passed.
At dawn, a small figure came in out of nowhere, jumping and shouting: "Make rice, make rice!"
The toad demon opened his eyes in a daze, and scolded: "Where did the little monster go crazy all night? ”
The little man pouted and ignored him, and only jumped around the hole until all the little demons were awakened by him.
After arriving in this world, Lu Bao's sleep has been very shallow, and after becoming a demon, he can sleep peacefully, find back to sleep and sleep until he wakes up naturally The dream became a bubble on the first night, and he didn't have a good sleep last night, and he was woken up early in the morning, so he was naturally in a bad mood, so he had to sigh and get up.
I remember that the old goat said that this should be a strange little mountain spirit, Lu Bao has never seen it, so he can't help but look at it carefully with curiosity.
The little mountain spirit is only about ten centimeters tall, but the whole body is humanoid, with a piece of green leaves just picked from nowhere, and between the waist and crotch is a small piece of animal skin sewn leather fork pants, which will protect the vital point, but the workmanship is very fine, not to mention the traces of needlework, the back connection is directly nailed into the back meat of the little mountain monster.
The old goat didn't sleep much, and the little mountain monster had already gotten up before he came in, and then he said, "Come and recognize the new little demon." ”
The villain jumped on Lu Baolu's shoulder: "You are the new deer demon, I recognize you, and you stole my yellow essence!"
Lu Bao was puzzled: "Huang Jing?"
"Don't you recognize Huang Jing?" Xiao Shanjing jumped down, reached under his crotch, and held a big thing in both hands when he stretched it out again: "That's it!"
The little monster stood on his shoulder, Lu Bao tried to turn his head back to see, was it the ginger lumpy plant rhizome that he was holding in both hands?
However, the piece he was holding was only ordinary, and it had no effect of elixir.
"This is Huang Jing? I did eat two pieces. ”
"It's the one in the col on the south slope, it's not ripe yet, I found it early, and I want to wait for it to be ripe before picking it, I don't want to be stolen by you!"
Even if this yellow essence does not enter the elixir again, it is also a treasure to the beasts and demons in the mountains, who will be willing not to eat it as soon as possible after finding it, and stay in the wilderness to wait for it to fully mature?
The other party's words Lu Bao was a little unbelievable, and the old sheep demon had already interjected and scolded the mountain monster: "You have it, who doesn't know that you are a little mountain spirit, except for Tibetan medicine and medicine, you don't have the slightest ability, and you eat the most elixir, but you have ever grown a little?"
"The deer demon ate it, and it was also found by his own family in the wilderness, how could it become yours? If you tear it down, you won't make food? If you miss the meal, who of us will end up with the slightest good?"
The villain "clicked" a few mouthfuls of the yellow essence that seemed to be like him, sniffed, but a little angry, the old sheep demon had ignored him, and said to Lu Bao: "He is a mountain monster, his name is the little mountain spirit, and he is the most good at making monsters on weekdays." ”
He said to the villain again: "The deer demon is called Baibao, and I know it today." Make rice!"
The toad demon and a few people who got up later shouted together: "Make rice, make rice!"
"I'm a weirdo, so naturally I'm going to be weird!"
made a strange face at the old goat, and the little mountain spirit put away his expression and asked Lu Bao: "Today's new knowledge, can you give it to me?"
Lu Bao smiled bitterly: "I'm just a newcomer, and I'm mixed with a naked stripe and a poor person, so can I change my day?"
"Don't forget that!"
That's when the rice was made.
The little mountain spirit helped the old goat to take the flint and light the fire, and the toad demon first filled the pot with water, carried it to the stove and burned it, and picked out five beasts.
The old goat explained to Lu Bao: "This is the only benefit of my room, you are new here, and it will be your turn in the end!"
Lu Bao was dirty, and in the end he didn't dare to drink the blood of the beast, the little mountain spirit was not a demon and didn't drink it, and the others, including the old goat, all sucked it up.
The stove crackled and burned, the smoke rose, and the little demons who turned their arms into the beasts that were bitten to death were dehaired and disemboweled, cleaned the internal organs, and threw the unwanted parts directly into the stream to wash away.
Lu Bao was assigned the task of taking care of the stove, and from time to time he kicked the firewood placed next to him into the fire.
After the demons cleaned the meat, the water on the stove began to steam, and a few strong people tore the meat and threw it into the cauldron to cook it in large chunks along with the water.
After the meat turned white, the role of the little mountain spirit was finally revealed, he was in charge of seasoning, and directed the salt, chili peppers, and some rhizomes that Lu Bao didn't know to throw in.
Not to mention, after the taste came out, Lu Bao smelled quite fragrant, it seems that the little mountain monster has a unique way of cooking, but I don't know why he dared not come back when he opened a small stove for the demon king and the demon general at night, and the fine dishes made by the old goat last night were not as good as the little mountain monster.
The little mountain spirit is very active, ran out and called some little demons to come, and carried a few large stone pots and steamers to the square outside the cave entrance, where there were originally a few rough wooden tables and wooden stake stools, and the little demons put the meat on the table, and some melon and fruit rhizomes were also taken out and placed on one side.
At this time, the sun has not been out of the mountain for a long time, and in the previous life, it is estimated that it should be around nine o'clock in the morning, although half of the four or five hundred monsters in Jingping Mountain have not yet arrived, and the gathering of more than two hundred monsters is also spectacular.
What's even more rare is that the steward demon Ding has reached seventeen or eighteen, and all the demon concubines in the cave, the demon king filling water B and the general Hei Niu, and the second general Lang Jun are all at the entrance of the cave, except for a few people who the little demon pointed out and knew when he slept in the hall last night, Lu Bao recognized the squirrel demon who was responsible for collecting rations many years ago, and he hadn't seen it for so many years, and the big tail behind him had disappeared, only the buckteeth were still there, and he could see it without smiling.
When the food was complete, the demons in the audience shouted in unison: "Please eat Grandpa Wang!"
"Grandpa Wang, please eat!"
In the shouting, the demon king stepped forward, he personally handed over two long wooden chopsticks with the demon Ding Fushan, the demon king took it, poked the elbow in a steamer, and picked a pair of tripe from the cooking pot, although it looked many, but it was all thrown into the mouth, chewed and swallowed it in a few bites, put down the long chopsticks and turned his head to the black cow: "The taste is just right, you use meat!"
The demon king turned to pick melons and fruits to enjoy, and the little demons shouted in unison: "Please eat!
The general black bull stepped forward, picked up a large piece of meat from an egg with chopsticks and swallowed it, then gave up the meat, walked to the stake next to the demon king and sat down, checked and picked out a few rhizomes, and threw them into his mouth one by one.
"Second General, please eat!"
It was Lang Jun's turn to step forward, the long chopsticks picked up a large piece of meat, swallowed it in one bite, and then swallowed it again, and ate more than a dozen lumps of meat in a row, a total of no less than thirty catties, Fang stopped and frowned and said: "The taste is fragrant, but the meat is old and hard to chew, when can I change to some tender and smooth?"
This has been a complaint for more than ten years, and the squirrel demon in the demon crowd turned around, only when he farted again.
The second general was full, and he slowly left the meat, and he didn't even look at the vegetarian foods such as melons and fruits.
The little demons shouted again: "Please eat!"
More than a dozen stewards and demons in the cave all stepped forward to chew, most of them could not see the type of beast body, and the old sheep demon had not been introduced, except for the squirrel demon I knew, the rest could only see whether I liked meat or vegetarian and were probably divided into two categories.
The appetite for meat is very large, and the eating speed is very fast in front of everyone's eyes, but the fruits and vegetables are just decorations, enough for the demon king and the demon general to enjoy, there is not much at all, and when the last demon Ding finishes eating and leaves, the vegetarian food has already been picked clean, but there is still a lot of meat, and the demon king spoke: "Children use it!"
Now, all the little demons rushed up, and they didn't say anything polite, and they all used their hands to fight for me.
He hadn't eaten meat for more than ten years, and Lu Bao couldn't help but squeeze forward, but he didn't have enough strength, and he was pushed out several times, but Xiaoshan Jing saw that he was in a hurry on the periphery, and grabbed a piece of bone-in meat and threw it out in the chaos.
I don't want the deer beast instinct to be there, Lu Bao took a bite, although the fishy smell was not heavy, but the greasy taste couldn't stand it, but he threw it away after two bites.
When the little demons finished grabbing food, they would inevitably be in a mess, and many crows and harrier eagles flew out of nowhere, and they were not afraid of the monsters, and they pecked all the meat crumbs and broken bones on the ground.
Here, the demon king was still in high spirits, so he ordered the little demon to remove the rough wooden table and put on the cooking utensils, sit on the wooden stake and shout: "Children, let's play!
The demons laughed, and they all shouted: "Whoa!"
"Spicy day, spicy day!"
A demon Ding laughed and said loudly: "I have a tiger demon gambling today!"
Among the little demons behind him, a tiger demon jumped out with a bitter face, and the demon Ding reached out and wiped it on his mouth, and there was an extra object in his hand: "The wolf demon tooth that won yesterday's bet is my gambling book!"
The tiger demon took the wolf demon tooth from his hand and respectfully placed it on the table in front of the demon king.
Not far away, another demon sneered: "Look at your little family, you just won yesterday! I have three cow demons participating in the bet!"
Sure enough, three bull demons came out behind him, and the demon who was ridiculed had not yet fought back, and there was already a shout next to him: "Three bull demons participate in gambling, and the bet has to be three!"
"It's not that I don't know the rules!" The demon Ding also wiped it on his mouth, took out two things, and said triumphantly: "The snake demon molts one piece, and one purple silk cocoon is worth two!"
Two of the three bull demons also held things and put them in front of the demon king.
Seeing that all the monsters recognized the words of this demon, Lu Bao asked curiously: "Isn't the purple silkworm a demon?
The toad demon said impatiently: "The purple silkworm is the purple silkworm! Invite the heavens to see the baby the next day when you go up the mountain, why don't you open your deer eyes first?"
Or the old goat is patient enough, opened his mouth to explain his doubts: "Purple silkworms live in the mountains and forests, very weak, no wind can not live, frightened to death, rain and dew will form cocoons colorless, if you are lucky enough to spit silk, the silk is purple, it is called purple silkworm." If the silkworm in the cocoon turns into a moth and comes out, its cocoon stands into fly ash, and it is rare to have a cocoon in the Jingping Mountain boundary for three or five years. This purple silk is extremely soft, very fine and extremely tough, the knife is difficult to hurt, if you want to break it, you have to be grilled in the fire for an hour, but it is a good treasure to repair the family clothes, if you meet the one who urgently needs to make up the number, don't say that the body of the little demon is two, and a cocoon can be changed for the demon general's things can also be done!"
The little mountain spirit stayed on the goat's head, interjected and sighed, "What is a cocoon worth?
The old goat also bowed his head: "It's just that because it's difficult to get together, the price is cheap on weekdays." ”
Lu Bao carefully looked at the cocoon placed on the wooden stake, and it was the size of a human thumb, and the whole cocoon was indeed slightly purple.
At this time, the number of stewards and demons who wanted to participate in gambling had risen to more than a dozen, and the gambling funds were filled with stakes one after another, including horns, antlers, tiger skins, snake skins, fox skins, mink skins, tiger teeth, and wolf teeth.
In addition to the purple silkworm cocoon, the rest of the gambling money is all objects on the little demon's body, and some are even available after the death of the little demon, such as the fox skin, tiger skin, and mink skin. Monsters have no concept of coins, and can only barter to trade, among which there are naturally many price differences due to unclear valuation.
The demons gathered to gamble, but the people who stood in the field were all small demons, and now the most in the field are the bull demons, there are six, and the rest are some pig demons, tiger demons, antelope demons, rat demons and the like.
The squirrel demon that Lu Bao knew also sent a pig demon out to participate in the gambling.
As for how to gamble, the goat demon, the little mountain spirit, the toad demon, etc. refused to reveal, but they just smiled wickedly and let Lu Bao see it for himself.
Isn't it a gladiatorial fight or something?
