Chapter Seventy-Nine: Fragrance

This formation is just a small Lost Trace Array, which can resist the infestation of mortals or fierce beasts, and it is not very complicated, under the wisdom of his eyes, Chang Xuan can easily break this formation.

That's not what you know.

Seeing Mo Ziye looking at him with admiration, Chang Xuan smiled secretly in his heart.

Either way, the two finally passed safely.

The two of them looked around, and Yunxi Village was already close in front of them.

Compared with Dongshan Village, Yunxi Village is much larger. The houses here are made of huge stones, tall and magnificent. The pavement is paved with bluestone slabs. There is also a stone statue at the entrance of the village.

The stone statue resembles an Arhat riding a tiger, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire existence is dyed with a layer of golden brilliance.

This large stone house is as sacred and peaceful as an ancient temple.

As soon as Chang Xuan and Mo Ziye approached the village, a sound of breaking the sky came, and several young people landed in front of the two.

Some held swords in their hands, others took aim with bows and arrows, and all looked at the two of them with wary eyes.

The sharp arrows shone with a faint cold light, as if they would shoot through the chests of the two of them in the next moment.

Chang Xuan didn't seem to see these dangers, stood there as steady as a mountain, and asked with an indifferent smile: "We have no malicious intent, dare to ask if this is Yunxi Village?"

These young boys and girls did not put away their weapons because of Chang Xuan's words.

The girl with a bow and arrow stepped forward, blinked at the young Taoist in front of her with big curious eyes and asked, "Yes, who are you?"

They have lived here for a long time, but they rarely see outsiders come to the Little Xuan Realm.

This small Xuan Realm is located under the hidden lake, and there is a formation outside the village to block it, even so, these two young Taoists came to the entrance of the village, only to be noticed by everyone, and the girl's eyes showed a little surprise.

"We are friends of Miss Ling Hanyan and Ling'er, I don't know if they are in the village?"

Chang Xuan asked with a polite smile.

Several girls heard that the two knew Ling Hanyan and Ling'er, and their expressions became relaxed, and they put down the bows and arrows in their hands.

Although several men also put down their weapons, their faces were cloudy and uncertain, and they glared at Chang Xuan fiercely.

Lao Tzu didn't offend you, what are you glaring at me for?

Hell, I'm sick!

Chang Xuan was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why these people were so hostile to him.

Mo Ziye said in a low voice: "Senior brother, it seems that we have to be careful, it seems that Miss Ling has countless suitors in the clan. A beauty like Miss Ling, if it weren't for the cold, the junior brother would be moved. ”

Chang Xuan glanced at Mo Ziye strangely, as if to say, I see that you have betrayed yourself again.

Mo Ziye opened his mouth, wanting to explain but didn't know what to say at all, he lowered his head in vain, and felt like he couldn't wash it away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

The girl covered her mouth at this time and smiled: "You know the Ling'er sisters, they are here, but they are grounded by the patriarch, I will take you to see the patriarch." ”

Being able to break through the Lost Trace Formation outside, and knowing Ling Hanyan, the girl felt that this young Taoist must have an extraordinary background, but she didn't dare to slack off.

"Then there's Miss Law. Chang Xuan smiled gently.

"Are you the leader of the Tongtian Sect?"

The girl stared at Chang Xuan's cheeks with big black eyes, as if she was comparing it to something.

Chang Xuan was slightly stunned and said, "I am Chang Xuan, the leader of the Tongtian Sect, have you heard of me?"

I'm pretty famous now!

I don't know if Ling Hanyan mentioned it to her, or if Miss Ling'er said it.

The girl chuckled, looked at Chang Xuan curiously and said, "Senior sister mentioned you, and even taught us a lesson about you, saying that you are so powerful, is it true?"

You should be humble at this time, right?

Ling Hanyan is really not low-key, isn't it that he has been defeated many times under his own hands.

Chang Xuan straightened his chest, although it was a misunderstanding, it was better to let the girl continue to misunderstand.

"It's such a hard question to answer, I can't say I'm very good, right? ”

The girl was amused by Chang Xuan's words and giggled again.

As they spoke, several people came to an old hall, and there was a statue in the hall, which was different from the stone statue at the entrance of the village, and was taller, but it was very hazy by the smoke and fire, but it was vaguely seen that the statue was a woman.

In the middle of the hall lay an old man in rags, with his hair disheveled and the smell of wine on his body, which looked like a beggar on the side of the road.

The girl walked up to the old man and said helplessly, "Patriarch, a guest is coming." ”

The old man seemed to be very drunk, and he did not respond to the girl's call a few times.

If it weren't for the girl coming forward to call the patriarch, Chang Xuan and Mo Ziye would never think that this old man would be the patriarch of the ancient relics.

What a surprise!

Chang Xuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and with a glance, he couldn't help but see a pile of blackened charcoal in the corner of the main hall.

Didn't this old man drink wine and eat barbecue in the important hall of this clan before?

"I'm really sorry, the patriarch is only afraid that he won't wake up for a while. Senior Sister and Ling'er are now in retreat and cultivating, so I'll arrange a place for you to live first. ”

The girl said helplessly.

Chang Xuan frowned and thought for a moment, if it was a retreat to cultivate, it would be as little as a month, and as much as several years.

Ling Hanyan's cultivation realm is not very high, and it should be a month of retreat.

Counting the time she hadn't seen Ling Hanyan, she should have been in retreat for more than half a month now, would she have to wait here for half a month?

Wait for the old man to wake up, ask Ling Hanyan where the retreat is, and then see if you can communicate.

"It's okay, junior brother, you go with the girl, I'll wait here for the old patriarch to wake up. ”

Chang Xuan thought about it and said to Mo Ziye.

Mo Ziye followed the girl away, and only Chang Xuan and the drunken old patriarch were left in the main hall.

Seeing the charcoal in the corner, Chang Xuan licked his lips, and he missed the taste of barbecue a little.

After going around the main hall, Chang Xuan found the barbecue grill that was hidden by the old patriarch.

When I left Dongshan Village before, the villagers gave a lot of things, including a few pheasants that the villagers hunted.

The ingredients are also there, and the next thing is the seasoning.

Chang Xuan took out a bunch of bottles and jars from the Sumeru bag, which were marked with salt, monosodium glutamate, cumin, red pepper, sesame seeds, cumin powder...... Wait a minute.

These are Chang Xuan's treasures, and he spent a lot of effort just collecting and blending these spices.

From the few to pitiful seasonings hidden by the old patriarch under the table, we know that the barbecue level of the Wuji Realm is still in the primitive society.

There is salt, there is soy sauce, and then ...... No more.

But looking at the charcoal, this old patriarch must also be a foodie.

If you choose the branches of fruit trees for charcoal, the grilled food will have a unique charcoal aroma.

Chang Xuan first adjusted the seasoning and removed the pheasant and marinated it for a while.

Start the fire first.

Chang Xuan pointed at two fingers, and a flame pointed at the charcoal.

Wait for the charcoal to turn red and the pheasant is marinated.

He took out iron bars, skewered two pheasants, and roasted them over a charcoal fire.

"Sting!"

The fat of the pheasant dripped into the charcoal fire and made a loud noise.

At this time, a strong and peculiar fragrance began to fill the hall.

The drunken old patriarch lay there and snorted twice, then began to twitch his nose.

It smells so good!

How can there be such a strange fragrance in the world?

I really want to take a bite and taste it.

The old man sat up from the ground with his eyes shining, looking at Chang Xuan, who was roasting pheasants.

To be precise, he was looking at the two pheasants on the grill.

At this time, the surface of the pheasant had become golden and crispy, and the fragrance filled the entire hall.

The old man swallowed a mouthful of spit, moved his index finger, walked to the barbecue grill three times and two steps, and then crouched down to stare at the food in front of him.

Chang Xuan didn't expect that he would roast a pheasant, and he would wake up the old patriarch.

This old man didn't even look at himself as an outsider.

Seeing that the old man was about to grab the pheasant, Chang Xuan had to speak.

"Don't move, it's not baked yet. ”

The old man's hand froze in the air, and he seemed to be unwilling to say, "It's ripe, it's ready to eat." ”

Chang Xuanke didn't care about the old man's status in the clan, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "If you are told to wait, just wait! At first glance, you are a layman, if you want to bake fragrant and crispy, the heat is very important, and after a while, the outside will become crispy, and the meat inside is very smooth and sweet, and you have to smear some seasonings, and then you have to go down with a mouthful, full of fragrance, tsk, that taste ......."

The old man had already been drooling from Chang Xuan's words, and he withdrew his hand in a sneer, and then glanced at the young Taoist who was roasting pheasants on his own territory.

The old man didn't even ask who Chang Xuan was, but bargained with him and said, "You use my old man's things, you want to share one of this roast chicken." ”

The old man even looked at the young Taoist in front of him with a hippie smile on his face, and his appearance and tone were the same as if the two had known each other for a long time.

He took a deep breath after speaking, and a look of extreme enjoyment appeared on his face.

Chang Xuan couldn't cry and laughed: "It took me a long time, and you have to go halfway through your old mouth, and there is no door, at most you will give half of it." ”

When the old man heard this, he was not happy, and he blew his beard and glared angrily: "You young man, why don't you know how to respect the old and love the young." Well, it's a big deal that I'll contribute another treasure of wine, so I can give me a whole one. ”

Chang Xuan looked at the old man and smiled disdainfully, picked out the purple bamboo wine from the Sumeru bag, pulled the cork from the bottle, and suddenly a smell of wine suddenly entered the barbecue fragrance.

The old man was obviously a knowledgeable person, his nose twitched, his eyes couldn't help but widen again, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Zizhu wine! Last time, Ling'er's girl gave me a little, but I had already drunk it up by the old man, and it was simply tasteless to drink other wine." Good boy, you have so many here. ”

The old man's eyes were shining green, like a single dog seeing a peerless beauty.

"Old Patriarch, I don't know where Miss Ling is in retreat and cultivating?"

Chang Xuan asked with a smile, as if he wanted to exchange food for intelligence.

"What, you kid is really not a good thing, you want to smoke the idea, tell you, old man, I won't say it. ”

The old man bounced up from the ground and looked at the young Taoist in front of him angrily.
