Say goodbye to the noodle stall, and the group of five people also plan to stay in this palm-sized town for a long time, after all, there is no inn, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that it is still early and set off as soon as possible. Before leaving, Wang Fugui took a look at the pastry shop called "Xi Cake Shop", quite regretful, and secretly thought in his heart that when he returned from Luoyan Town, he would definitely take Mo Shiping to take a detour here to buy some pastries to try.

Out of the town, they continued to walk northwest, which was a relatively flat mountain road, and the five of them walked easily. At sunset, a group of five people walked to a lake with vast blue waters. The lakeside stands a stone stele, and the lacquer is engraved with red neat characters, named "Five Color Pond".

The water of the five-color pool is sparkling and endless. There are bursts of hazy mist on the surface of the lake, the peaks and rocks in the distance, and the ancient trees with broken bridges nearby, looming, and it is not real.

"Five-color pool, could it be that this lake has five colors?" Wang Fugui glanced at the inscription, and he happened to recognize these three words. While speaking, Wang Fugui squatted down, scooped up a pool of lake water, and took a look, but he didn't see anything famous.

Qi Qingfeng had read a lot of books about customs and customs all the way in the Southern Regions, including a record of the five-color lake, so he took the initiative to explain: "This five-color lake is a well-known lake. Among them, the word "five colors" is not derived from the scenery of the lake itself, but from the five-color shrimp bred in the lake. The so-called five-color shrimp is more than a foot long and has five colors. Plum shrimp, rainy season. Reed shrimp, cyan, according to legend, changed by reeds. Mud shrimp, rice flower becomes, mostly in the mud field. Another shrimp girl is like a centipede, a tube shrimp. The five-color shrimp of this lake have firm flesh and delicious taste, which is obviously different from the shrimp produced in other lakes, and there are often people who fish by boat, so this lake also gets its name from this. ”

When Wang Fugui heard this, he patted Qi Qingfeng on the shoulder, and said happily: "Brother Qi knows a lot, especially about eating, so be detailed." ”

After Wang Fugui's praise, Qi Qingfeng's face was slightly red, and he waved his hand again and again, "I remember it when I think it's interesting, it's not that I don't forget it because I want to eat it." ”

Wang Fugui quietly glanced at him, smiling evilly, with a look like you and I both knew it, so why do you need to defend more.

Qi Qingfeng turned his head away, deliberately didn't look at the eyes handed by Wang Fugui, and tried his best to pretend not to know, otherwise he would have completely hooked up with this gluttonous word, and he couldn't figure out the relationship.

Qi Ze on the side pulled the corners of his mouth slightly. He knew that Qi Qingfeng never forgot to read. But he also knew that along the way, Qi Qingfeng would often reread some books over and over again, some books that recorded the best tastes in the world.

"Let's make a bonfire early, I think we're going to camp out on the shore of this lake tonight. Zhang Ziwei spoke out in a sneering voice and played a round for Qi Qingfeng.

Qi Qingfeng nodded again and again, and took over the topic, "Brother Zhang is reasonable. While the sky is still visible, you can also catch some game and make a tooth sacrifice. It's too late, it's not easy to catch. ”

Wang Fugui wanted to tease him more, but as soon as he heard about his own temple, he volunteered to go hunting some game with Mo Shiping.

So, the five of them discussed, Qi Qingfeng and Qi Ze stayed here to wait, Zhang Ziwei went to pick up some dead wood and branches for firewood, and Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui went to catch some game.

As for the five-colored shrimp, although everyone has some thoughts, they can't find it after looking at the lake for a long time, so it is inferred that most of them are gathered in the depths of the lake, so they have no choice but to do it.

Within half an hour, Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui returned with a full load. Wang Fugui held a sturdy straw rope in his hand, on which were hung two fatty mountain fish, high on his chest. Mo Shiping held some mushrooms and wild vegetables for seasoning.

"Drink fish soup today!" Wang Fugui carried two mountain fish that still had the strength to jump, and his face was quite proud. I followed Mo Shiping to a stream in the mountains before, and after only waiting for a while, one person caught one. Wang Fugui didn't feel that it was too difficult, with the strength and speed of his own martial arts realm, ordinary fish were naturally easy to catch.

Mo Shiping turned his hand and took out a small iron pot from the jade world, which was specially brought by Wang Fugui at the beginning, saying that he was out of the house, and he might use it when he was out.

Zhang Ziwei picked up the firewood, took out the flint he carried, and lit a bonfire. He deliberately planted two thick branches on the left and right sides of the bonfire, and strung a straw rope to hang the small iron pot.

Mo Shiping skillfully picked up the dagger to disembowel, removed the internal organs and scales, and put it in a pot, stewed with seasoned mushrooms and wild vegetables.

"Brother Mo is an old man, he has been cooking by himself since he was a child, so the taste of this fish soup can't be wrong. Qi Qingfeng twisted the folding fan and asked with a smile. He looked at Mo Shiping's method and speed of killing fish, which was almost the same as that of a fishmonger in the market, and he should have many years of experience.

Mo Shiping scratched his head and said with a smile: "That's not guaranteed, I hope that Brother Qi will not dislike it when the time comes." ”

"Goo dong goo dong..."

After a while, there was a soft sound from the small iron pot, and there was a faint smell of fish. Wang Fugui was the first to stretch his neck and stepped forward, took a big breath of hot air, and then licked his tongue and praised: "It's so fragrant." ”

After a short while, when the pool of water in the original pot was completely boiled into a thick white soup, it was considered that the time was ready, and the fish soup was stewed.

Mo Shiping took some bowls and chopsticks from the jade world and distributed them to everyone. These dishes and chopsticks are naturally Wang Fugui's idea. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't bring live animals in the jade realm, Wang Fugui couldn't wait to hoard some live birds in it.

Qi Ze looked at the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and couldn't help but tease: "Brother Mo, you are in a hurry, it is obvious that you are coming for pleasure." ”

Mo Shiping scratched his head in disdain, and quietly glanced at Wang Fugui beside him, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Wang Fugui deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not intend to open his mouth to help Mo Shiping explain, but snickered on the side.

The five of them ate dry food and shared fish soup, which was a good full meal.

Unlike before, there was a mountain temple to live in, this time it is completely camping in the mountains, so you must be careful. The five of them discussed, the first half of the night was kept vigil by Mo Shiping and Wang Fugui, and the second half of the night was handed over to Qi Ze and Zhang Ziwei. Qi Qingfeng had not yet stepped into cultivation, and everyone was afraid that he would not be able to support the next day's itinerary physically, so naturally they did not ask him to participate in the vigil.

While the five of them were discussing, a passenger boat slowly sailed on the hazy lake, with a red lantern hanging from the bow, which stood out in the mist.

"Night fishermen?" Wang Fugui squinted his eyes at the passenger boat and muttered suspiciously.

The owner of the boat also seemed to have seen the bonfire on the shore of the lake, and took the initiative to sail to it.

Qi Ze frowned lightly, and naturally took a small step forward and stood in front of Qi Qingfeng. Mo Shiping, Wang Fugui and Zhang Ziwei didn't dare to be careless, and stared at the passenger boat. This barren mountain and wilderness coincided with the fact that the sky was getting dark, and the other party took the initiative to lean over, which was not a good thing.

The boat stopped on the shore of the lake, and everyone saw it clearly. This passenger boat is not large, only enough to accommodate more than seven or eight people. At the stern of the boat, there was an old boatman who was smiling and nodding to everyone.

The curtain of the passenger boat was lifted, and a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt walked out, with a square face and slightly white sideburns, which was quite vicissitudes. The man glanced at everyone, smiled and clenched his fists, and took the initiative to confess: "I saw a little light on the lakeside before, so I thought it was a friend who was fishing at night and came here, so I took the liberty to step forward and disturb it." ”

Qi Ze looked at the middle-aged man and the boatman, both of whom were people who had not yet stepped into cultivation, ordinary people and ordinary people. Of course, if the Great Cultivator of the Skybreaking Realm, whose cultivation far surpassed Qi Ze, deliberately hid his aura, Qi Ze would not be able to see it. However, Qi Ze did not think that such a master would appear here. Even so, Qi Ze was not too worried, as soon as the head of the Qi family, that is, his master Qi Ruilong, gave him a precious spiritual treasure, tying the dragon rope, which could trap the ordinary Skyclave Realm for half an hour, and then just escape. If you meet someone who is higher up in the Skybreak Realm and ask the master of the Immortal Realm, you will report the name of Qi Ruilong, and it will be easy to say.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Ruilong is relieved that his baby daughter Qi Qingfeng will go to the Southern Regions to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and even told Qi Ze not to let Qi Qingfeng suffer a little grievance. As for safety, Qi Ruilong wasn't worried at all. Below the Skyclave Realm, except for the monster-like Rock Realm like the Flame Calamity Red Wolf and Yuwen Jinshan, most of them were not Qi Ze's opponents. Breaking the Skyclave, anyway, there is a spirit treasure tied to the dragon rope, which is enough for Qi Ze and Qi Qingfeng to save their lives. As for asking about the fairyland, apart from Wei Li and the old Wang Ba in the Southern Regions, how can there be any fairyland? Although the realm of the old Wang Ba is high, he does not ask about the world. Although this Wei Li is a disciple of the old Confucian student, he is only worthy of the Ten Realms of Immortals, and in front of Qi Ruilong, he is still a little tender. If Wei Li dared to hit Qi Qingfeng with his unsightly calculations, Qi Ruilong would have to come directly across the state, and the Southern Regions would tremble at that time. You must know that Qi Ruilong's temper is not a good person to talk to in the Terran Wonderland.

Since this middle-aged man was just an ordinary man, Qi Ze didn't look at it anymore, took a small step back, and lazily leaned against an ancient tree.

Mo Shiping, Wang Fugui and Zhang Ziwei naturally saw that the middle-aged man's pace and breath were all mediocre, so they also put away the vigilance on their faces.

Mo Shiping took the initiative to return the salute with his fists and said with a smile: "It's okay." We also happened to pass through this place, and there was nothing important, so we couldn't be bothered. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled a little more, turned around and went to the boathouse to get a small shrimp basket, in which more than a dozen fresh five-colored shrimp were hidden. The middle-aged man carried it in his hand, walked to the bow of the boat, and handed it to Mo Shiping.

"A little courtesy, a slight apology. Don't refuse, otherwise Lin will not be happy. ”

Mo Shiping saw that it was difficult to excuse himself, so he had to take the shrimp basket and thank him with a smile.

The middle-aged man surnamed Lin smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then turned around to leave. Just a few steps away, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then walked back to the bow of the boat quickly, "I see a few teenagers are very raw, are they outsiders?"

Mo Shiping nodded, not intending to hide it, so he replied, "Exactly." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he pointed to the shrimp basket and said with a smile: "Someone in Nalin guessed that most of you teenagers don't know the unique way to eat this five-color shrimp. ”

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Wang Fugui suddenly became interested, and hurriedly asked, "Does this five-color shrimp have a unique way to eat?"

The middle-aged man smiled without saying a word, turned around and went to the boathouse to get a large bowl, poured some sesame oil sauce and vinegar into it, and carried a pot of wine. Then he asked Mo Shiping for a shrimp basket and slid more than a dozen live five-color shrimp into the bowl. Then open the wine seal and slowly pour the clear wine into the bowl with the shrimp. After a while, the joyful five-colored shrimp gradually stopped, no longer jumping, but swaying up and down in the bowl, as if a person was drunk, honest.

The middle-aged man gently picked up a five-color shrimp, carefully pinched off its whiskers and kissed the tail, and then sent it to his mouth, biting his upper and lower teeth, like eating melon seeds, sucking and eating, and spitting out a crystal clear shrimp shell.

"That's how to eat it. Shrimp have to be eaten alive, and these five-color shrimp are a little different and have to be eaten alive. The fresh aroma of shrimp and the aroma of sake are made unique to this place by the sesame oil sauce and vinegar. ”

Wang Fugui looked at a stirring spirit and pouted: "It seems that I can't bear this live shrimp, and I can't swallow it." ”

The middle-aged man laughed and teased, "Don't you really taste it?" ”

Wang Fugui immediately shook his head like a rattle, his attitude was resolute, and he didn't want to taste anything.

The middle-aged man smiled and sighed, and he was no longer reluctant. In the final analysis, although this live shrimp tastes unique, it is always a niche thing, and it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and ordinary people will have some pimples in their hearts, and it is normal to be difficult to accept.

At this moment, Qi Qingfeng took the initiative to take a small step forward, he didn't have any guilt, he was willing to taste it. Qi Qingfeng imitated the middle-aged man, carried a shrimp, went to his beard to kiss the tail of the foot, and bit it into his mouth.

"The entrance melts with a slight sip, the aroma of wine is mixed with the aroma of sauce, and the slight fishy smell is the finishing touch. Wonderful. Qi Qingfeng sighed with emotion, this five-color shrimp is really as stated in the book, it is the treasure of this five-color pond, and the shrimp in other places definitely do not have such a taste.

After he said this, Mo Shiping and Zhang Ziwei also tasted it separately, and it was indeed a must.

"Isn't this cruel?" Wang Fugui frowned, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, he really couldn't see the scene of the shrimp being swallowed alive. As soon as he thought that the shrimp was in his mouth, even though the shell was removed, it would still squirm loudly, and Wang Fugui had goosebumps all over his body.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said softly: "Of course it's cruel." When we eat chicken, duck and fish, we are not so cruel. Did we hear the cry of the chicken, put down the butcher's knife in our hands, and stop killing it? I don't think so, it is only in this cruel way that we show our fangs so cruelly that we can live in this world. Of course, it would be better if you could simply go down with a knife and give the chicken a happy death. ”
