Volume 1 "Witch Book" Chapter 26: Called Flower Rubbing Chicken
Zhao Hong looked up and saw a sloppy old man lying on a big tree not far away, dressed in dirty coarse linen clothes as if he hadn't washed for several years, with a dead grass in his mouth, holding his head with both hands and legs, looking comfortable in the sun.
The old man was dressed like a beggar. Everyone secretly thought: this beggar was basking in the sun in this barren mountain and wilderness, and seemed to turn a blind eye to the battle between Junzimen and Qingqiumen, and must not be a mortal.
"May I ask who is the master of the seniors?" Sun Haoran hugged his fists first and asked Kan Kan.
The old beggar snorted, but did not answer. Everyone saw a sudden golden light on the tree, shining so brightly that they couldn't open their eyes and look at it directly. Then I heard a popping sound, and the old beggar had jumped down from the tree and landed on the boulder. He kicked his foot violently, and the boulder suddenly exploded, scattering like dust.
And that's not all, the old beggar recited a muttered incantation, and a bamboo stick more than five feet long, with two carved golden ends and a dark blue body, suddenly appeared in his hand. In the sound of Langlang's incantation, the heads at both ends of the bamboo stick suddenly let out a dragon-like roaring sound. At the same time, a dark cloud of the size of a zhang immediately appeared in the sky above everyone, and the white light in the cloud flashed, and a finger-thick lightning bolt fell, and the ground was suddenly split into a crack deep.
Between the lightning and thunder, before everyone could exclaim, the old beggar saw that he had not moved at all, but had already appeared in front of the pyre like a strange shape.
Zhao Hong raised his eyes and found that this old beggar turned out to be a double pupil, and he was very surprised. The so-called double pupil is a double eye, and there are two pupils in the eye.
What surprised Zhao Hong was not only that. At the same time, he found that the old beggar was looking directly at the Lihu bird next to the pyre, and the corners of his mouth were drooling.
"The old gentleman is really interested, if you don't dislike it, how about a barbecue with me?" Zhao Hong asked.
When Jiang Wei heard Zhao Hong say this, he was immediately reluctant, and was about to speak, but was given a look by Zhao Hong, so he had to hold back.
The old beggar sat down and said with a smile: "Hehe, is this true? Baby, you are really sensible, it is the first time I have heard someone call me sir, yes, yes, sir, I like to call him. ”
Zhao Hong smiled, and said secretly in his heart: You came here with such fanfare, did you soon plot against my Li Hu Bird, and I refused?
But this kind of words can only be hidden in his heart, so he said: "Why did the old gentleman sigh just now? Why did you say that I was violent and ruined?"
The old beggar stared at the Lihu bird in Zhao Hong's hand and said, "Baby, do you know that the Lihu bird is the 'Ten Flavor Beasts'?
Jiang Wei "cut" slightly, "The Ten Fearful Beasts, who doesn't know!"
The old beggar smiled and said, "I'm talking about the 'Ten Flavor Beasts', and the delicious taste is not the same as your 'Ten Fear Beasts'. ”
Jiang was slightly dumbfounded and turned his head away. Zhao Hong took a closer look at the Lihu Bird, in addition to the strange appearance, as well as the characteristics of the soil attribute that Jiang Wei said, he didn't find anything special, so he said: "Since the old gentleman said that the Lihu Bird is a 'flavor' beast, what is the special thing about cooking it?" After speaking, he handed the Lihu Bird over.
The old beggar saw Zhao Hong hand over Li Huniao, his eyes sparkled, and he took it excitedly, "You baby is lucky, and I don't know how you caught this treasure." As he spoke, he put the pheasant in front of his nose and sniffed deeply, as if he were enjoying a plate of delicious food.
However, he only sniffed for a while, then immediately squatted up, wrapped the Lihu bird in the soil, and then said: "Once the Lihu bird dies, it should be eaten immediately in order to maximize the absorption of the earth-attribute spiritual power, otherwise it will dissipate." The feathers and internal organs of the Lihu bird are all treasures and cannot be wasted. You can't abuse the conventional method of cooking, you need to wrap the whole thing in mud and set up a fire to burn the mud......" He saw that Zhao Hong was sluggish, so he reprimanded: "Baby, where are you still doing the pestle, why don't you hurry up and make a fire?"
Zhao Hong was speechless, this old man is really called Huazi, aren't you calling Huaji?
A huge Lihu bird was covered in slime, like a huge mud ball, and was buried in the middle of the pyre by Zhao Hong. He shook his head helplessly, laid out the dry wood neatly, and shot a fireball to start a fire.
"Huh?" The old beggar showed a look of surprise, and said while roasting the mud rack: "Baby, you are not simple, a waste spirit root can have beast fire, haha, rare, rare!"
Zhao Hong smiled bitterly, why do monks like to poke at his sore spots, isn't it just a waste spirit root, as for meeting, just mention it?
Zhao Hong lowered his head and only cared about making a fire, Jiang pouted slightly and turned his head away, without saying a word. But Sun Haoran on the side couldn't help it, just now he asked politely, but the old beggar still didn't hear it, and he couldn't hang up on his face; Later, the old beggar only cared about talking to Zhao Hong, and didn't take him in his eyes at all, Sun Haoran was even more angry in his heart. It's just that he was also shocked by the old beggar's position just now, so he had to hold back.
He had already guessed the identity of the old beggar in his heart, but at this moment he finally stepped forward and asked, "Senior is the ancestor of Ruifeng's 'Huashun Palace', Yao Chonghua's senior?"
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Junzimen or Qingqiumen, there was an uproar. The dignified Five Elements Sect, who doesn't know the monks in the world? Who doesn't respect it? And this sloppy old beggar in front of him turned out to be the ancestor of one of the Five Elements Sect, who destroyed Ruifeng, how could it not be shocking?
The reason why the Five Elements Sect can be superior and superior to the rest of the major Orthodox Sects is that in addition to the size of its power and the resources it occupies, it is the existence of several ancestors of the Five Elements Sect in the final analysis. It is said that the whereabouts of these ancestors are uncertain, and their cultivation is unfathomable, and they can turn the world upside down with a single move, and they are by no means the enemy of ordinary monks.
The old beggar narrowed his eyes, squinted at Sun Haoran, and said coldly: "You are Sun Haoran of the Junzi Sect, and you really have a bit of vision." ”
Sun Haoran clenched his fists again, bowed down and replied: "Don't dare, the ancestor is famous, and no one in the world knows." Sun has always admired the style of the ancestor, and naturally knows a thing or two about the legend of the ancestor. The ancestor was born with heavy pupils, and his life's golden cultivation has reached the realm of perfection, and the 'Golden Thunder Bamboo Stick' in his hand is a divine object, in which the evil god thunder is extremely powerful, and the demon and ghost are like destroying the withered and decaying. ”
The old beggar smiled, slowly stroked his beard and said, "Yes, Master Sun knows a lot about old decay." ”
Sun Haoran's body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "How dare you!" Sun Mou is just because he admires the ancestor, so he usually asks more about it, and asks the ancestor not to blame him." ”
The old beggar nodded and hummed, "Okay, I've got your heart." Stand aside for a moment, and I'll talk to you later, when I've had my meal. ”
Sun Haoran replied and stepped aside, but his eyes were still fixed on the Qingqiumen and the others.
Seeing Sun Haoran retreating to the side in amusement, the old beggar's eyes returned to the fire, and it seemed that there was only the Lihu bird in his eyes.
Zhao Hong looked at the old beggar curiously, secretly touched the storage bag close to him, and asked meaningfully: "The old gentleman is really the ancestor of Rui Peak? Then do you know Jiang You? He is my brother, and he was later recruited as a disciple of Huashun Hall by Elder Feng Buyu." ”
The old beggar looked at Zhao Hong and said, "Baby, there are thousands of disciples in Huashun Palace, how can my ancestors know everything." The last time I saw the 'Two Immortals of Wind and Dust', they were the big hairy boys, so I didn't care what disciples they recruited. ”
Zhao Hong was right to think about it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, so he looked at the old beggar with a smile.
The old beggar said, "Ancestor, I have never liked to owe others. In this way, I will eat your Li Hu bird, and you worship me as a teacher, so that everyone does not owe each other, lest others say that I am a bully and eat your things for nothing. As my disciple, I promise that you will not suffer, and then you will be several times stronger than the stinky boy called 'Jiang You' and 'River You'. ”
Zhao Hong was stunned, it was the first time he had heard that apprentices could trade like this. Not to mention that because of Wang Batian's affairs, he can't worship the Five Elements Sect, so let's just say that he is a waste spirit root, and he can't practice at all. Could it be that by worshipping this old beggar as a teacher, you can change?
For a while, Zhao Hong stayed where he was, not knowing how to answer. Sun Haoran on the side glared at him, his eyes showing deep jealousy and dissatisfaction.
"Heh, rubbing a chicken to eat is so high-sounding, I'm afraid you want to pit our whole Lihu bird, right? You are not afraid of dying of such a big one!" Jiang Wei threw a sentence lightly, revealing a look of contempt.
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other people present changed drastically, and they were sincerely afraid. Offending the ancestor of the Five Elements Sect, the consequences can not be borne by anyone present.
Zhao Hong was also taken aback, and hurriedly mediated: "Don't blame the old gentleman, it's really a junior who is a waste spirit root and can't cultivate, I'm afraid I will live up to the old gentleman's good intentions." ”
Surprisingly, the old beggar was not annoyed, but smiled: "My dignified ancestor, how can I be as knowledgeable as you and other juniors." Since you don't know how to lift up, then the matter of accepting disciples will be stopped. Oops...... Eat the chicken, eat the chicken. ”
The old beggar suddenly jumped up, grabbed it in the air, and the huge mud mass in the soot was taken out, and he played a few more hand-to-hand duels, only to see the golden light faintly visible, and countless runes attached to the clay surface intertwined into a pattern, and after a while, it disappeared into it.
The continuous sound of "poof", the mud layer continues to fall off, and a thick and tangy smell of meat suddenly spreads, at this time, all the feathers of the Nali Hu bird are melted away, melted into the meat, and the dough is covered with a transparent and turquoise luster, like jade, which makes people unable to hold the saliva.
Zhao Hong wiped his mouth, felt that his gluttony was a little rude, and looked at the old beggar embarrassedly. Unexpectedly, the old beggar was already salivating, and his eyes were shining. If you want to know what the starving ghost is like, just look at the way he looks now.
"If those little old men of the 'Zhenhuang Palace' know that I have eaten the Lihu bird, hehe, they still don't envy death? No, you must not let him know about this, and you have to destroy the evidence quickly. The old beggar came back to his senses, wiped the saliva from his mouth, divided Li Hu Niao into three, and occupied most of it himself, and only handed over the other two small pieces to Zhao Hong and Jiang Wei.
Zhao Hong took a big bite and wanted to taste the taste, but he didn't expect it to melt in his mouth, and he couldn't taste it at all. In this way, he ate very quickly, and it didn't take long for the small half in his hand to be eaten. He just wondered why he couldn't taste it, while the old beggar ate with relish.
Zhao Hong only felt a warm current swimming in his body, but it disappeared after a while. He suddenly felt bored, and his heart said that the Li Hu Bird was praised for being so magical, and it attracted the envy of everyone, but it was of no use to himself. I just don't know if other fearful beasts also have a special way of eating like this Lihu bird?
"Wonderful, wonderful! Ten flavor beasts, worthy of their name. The old beggar sucked his fingers, still unsatisfied, "Okay, it's time to get down to business......
After speaking, he turned around and swept towards the Junzimen Gate and Qingqiu Gate and the others, and finally stopped his eyes on Sun Haoran, "Old man, I came here today because I have something to find Master Sun......
Sun Haoran's face froze, his heart was uncertain, and he said respectfully: "It is not very honorable to be favored by the ancestor, Sun is not very honored, the ancestor has something to ask, and he will not give up." ”
