The whole paradise is filled with the intoxicating smell of meat.

As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, although the prince in the plain robe has tasted Baiyun's specialty, but at this moment, looking at the game on the grill, it is still difficult to hide the excitement in his eyes.

"Bai Yun, your baking skills are both rigid and soft, and the heat is controlled just right, and you are more perfect than the cook in that big inn, where is your teacher?" asked the plain-robed boy, smacking his lips.

"It was taught by a senior brother on the mountain, he said that roasting pheasants and roasting hares is very broad, my kung fu is nothing, my senior brother is a master, the heat is not bad, the roasted game is not only full of color and fragrance, the meat juice is fresh but not greasy, but also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Bai Yun's mind wandered, thinking of the Mo Tianxiang who led the big black and white cat to read a book with a full bun, smiled inexplicably, and added a few dead branches to the fire.

Last night in the depths of the dense forest, he wanted to take the opportunity of breaking through the double cultivation of Baiyun Buddhism and Taoism, and went straight to unravel the mustard in Baiyun's heart.

After pondering for a moment, the plain-robed prince put away the wisps of divine thought and asked, "Bai Yun, which Taoist sect are you a disciple?"

Bai Yun tacitly glanced at Bai Yi, and replied, "Long Gongzi, forgive me, I have important matters to talk about." ”

The plain-robed boy shook the ivory bone fan on the bonfire, and he was not afraid that the fan would light the flames, and fanned away some of the gray smoke from the burning of dead branches: "Since there is something important to do, it doesn't hurt not to say it." ”

The grease drips on the campfire, crackling, and the white clouds are skilful and the grill is turned by pheasants and hares running through the branches, the meat is juicy and the golden crispy skin is shiny.

As the roasting heat got better, Bai Yun reached into his arms to find out the secret seasoning he was carrying, only to find that the bottle of secret seasoning brought down from the mountain was missing, probably lost during the fierce battle against the wolves last night.

The candlelight of the wooden house on the edge of the pond flickered and creaked, the wooden door opened, and the middle-aged man with his bun of balls came out of the house.

The middle-aged man pushed open the wooden door and walked out of the wooden house, stopped suddenly, sniffed the smell of meat wafting from afar, looked around, and found that the smell of meat came from the campfire not far away, suddenly turned around and returned to the simple wooden house, took out a worn-out saucer, wiped it clean with his sleeves, and walked towards the bonfire with his eyes shining.

This middle-aged man with a perverse and evil temperament seems to be bloated, but his foot strength is unusual, and his ethereal steps are like falling flowers, and he comes to the bonfire without seeing how to move.

The four of them were stunned, looking at the strange man in front of them with great puzzlement.

This time, instead of putting on a high posture overlooking all living beings, the owner of the wooden house put his nose next to the tempting game, his eyes narrowed deeply, and he was extremely intoxicated, and it took a long time to spit out one word: "Fragrant!"

Ginger is old and spicy, and the owner of the wooden house is so polite that he tore off a chicken leg and a rabbit leg and put it on a worn-out plate, and then patted his ass and turned away with a satisfied face, not forgetting to suck up the juice stuck to his fingers when he left.

"Senior!" Bai Yun suddenly spoke, stopping the middle-aged man who was showing most of his bare forehead.

The middle-aged man turned around angrily, glanced at Baiyun, like the long-tongued woman who bargained in the market, and said in a nagging voice: "What, do you still have to pay the money? I said boy, look at you are as stupid as a wooden stake, this is the first time you have come out to walk the rivers and lakes? Do you understand the rules of this road? Wine is full of respect for people and tea is full of deception, everything has to have a measure, but you can't get cheap and sell well, as the so-called people are not evil, although I respect you a foot, you don't need to respect me back, but I respect that foot you have to pay back, right? You are tossing around in Lao Tzu's place, Lao Tzu has not settled accounts with you, this game is even off. ”

After a long speech, the strange middle-aged man was too lazy to waste words with everyone, and was about to turn away.

"Senior, I just want to ask you for some salt, although these wild meat are original treasures, but if there is no taste, it will be a tyrannical thing. "It is difficult for a white cloud woman to cook without rice.

The middle-aged man whose forehead was as smooth and dust-free as a boiled egg out of the pot was stunned, probably because he felt that what Bai Yun said was reasonable, and took out a ceramic vial from his arms, first splashed it lightly on his own plate, and then threw the porcelain bottle into Bai Yun's hand, and said seriously: "Don't say that I don't know how to be sophisticated, and I eat your game for nothing, this bottle of salt should be given to you, you can put it away, in this vast cloud dream, salt is something more valuable than gold." ”

Bai Yun took the ceramic vial with salt, and was speechless when he laughed, and the fat errand of exchanging salt for meat made the middle-aged man speak crookedly, and said conclusively that he had suffered a big loss.

Bai Yun forced a smile and politely thanked the owner of the wooden house, first ripped off a chicken leg and handed it to Bai Yi, who was not as cold and self-conscious as before, and reached out to take the fat and juicy chicken leg.

The mob crouched to the side and drooled.

The white clothes smiled and gave the pheasant leg in his hand to the little monster, and one person and one bear were happy.

Bai Yun ripped off a rabbit leg and gave it to the boy in the robe, after the boy in the robe took the rabbit leg with a smile, he handed the rabbit leg to the purple-clothed maid behind him.

At the other end of the wooden house, a middle-aged man took out an old wooden table, lit a dim oil lamp, and brought out a pot of sake from the house.

The silver moonlight seeped into the forest, the stream that flowed out of the river in Yunmengze flowed into the pond, the waterwheel turned slowly, and the middle-aged man who tied up the bun of the balls poured a glass of wine, raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp, grabbed the roast chicken leg and took a big bite of it, drank wine and ate meat, dripping with pleasure.

"This senior's temperament is really strange, but there are no surprises in the world. The plain-robed boy tore off a piece of roast rabbit meat and threw it into his mouth.

"Childe, is this what the world often says about retreating to the mountains and forests?"

The plain-robed boy was silent and nodded.

The purple-clothed maidservant continued: "The slave maid has only carefully observed, that senior is deeply hidden, at least the power of the Taifeng realm, why does he want to live in seclusion in this uninhabited Yunmengze?"

Taifeng Realm? Bai Yun was silent, looking at the direction of the wooden house in a trance.

There was once an old monk in gray who took three young children to the boundless north of the poor mountains, bad waters, and snowfields. Perhaps this dull-eyed young man will never know that the most benevolent gray-clothed old monk in the world has come to the table to move the world, and the limelight is far beyond the second Buddha Xiwa monk in the Western Regions in the world today, but he chose to stay away from the Central Plains and go north to the snow to spread Buddhism, what is the difference between this move and returning to the mountains and forests?

The middle-aged man who moved a tiger chair and sat on the edge of the pond took a glass of wine, and then picked up the wine jug and poured it violently, as if he had not been so happy for a long time.

After a fierce pour, the man staggered up, carried the wine jug and swayed to the pond to pour wine, and threw a chicken leg into the pond, the water surface was full of branches and a wave of rapid momentum, a large carbon black toad jumped up from the pond, splashed the overwhelming crystal clear water, swallowed the chicken leg in one bite, and fell back into the pond after the wine was full and disappeared.

It turned out that in this paradise, in addition to the middle-aged man with an eccentric temperament, there was also a big toad.

For several days in a row, the four of them were looking for a way to leave Yunmengze, but the forest was full of fog, the road was winding, and they went back and forth dozens of times, but they still couldn't get out of this ancient Daze, and in the evening, everyone had to follow the little monster's ass back to this paradise.

Yunmengze is full of insects and beasts, but this forest cave is isolated from the world, there is no trace of fierce beasts, a picture of the field people cooking smoke leisurely scenery, so the four of them do not have to worry about being attacked by fierce beasts when they rest at night.

The middle-aged man who tied up his balls in a bun fetched a bucket of water in the pond, and pushed open the firewood door of the vegetable garden, and the vegetables, fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden looked much more lush than a few days ago under the careful care of the middle-aged man.

Everyone returned to the peach garden to light a fire to rest, and the middle-aged man with a strange bun of hair turned a blind eye and squatted in the vegetable garden to enjoy himself.

When the sky was dark, the white clouds plucked the game caught by the little monster and put it on the shelves, the aroma of barbecue was overflowing, and the owner of the wooden house was busy with the chores in the vegetable garden, and then he held the worn-out plate to eat and drink.

At first, the middle-aged man just tore off one leg of each of the pheasants and hares, and then simply took the whole pheasant away, and Bai Yun couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to let the little monster take an extra share when he hunted game.

The middle-aged man with an eccentric temperament was satisfied, holding a plate with a fat pheasant in his left hand and a pot of wine in his right hand.

"Oh, the autumn breeze is bleak, this cloud Mengze is cold and swishing at night, don't say I'm not close to people, this pot of wine will warm you up, remember to return me if you can't finish drinking, don't waste the wine, and don't lose this wine jug after drinking, my wine jug is very valuable, you can't afford it." The owner of the wooden house said with a snug mouth.

But as soon as the words were finished, the wrist of the owner of the wooden house, who cherished the wine as his life, tilted his wrist slightly, and the clear wine was sprinkled on the ground, and the fragrance of peach blossoms and fragrant wine poured like a glass bottle in Xianban, overflowing the world.

Everyone was extremely puzzled, and finally the four beams of eyes fell on the middle-aged man at the same time.

The middle-aged man said with words in his mouth: "If you drink wine first, you will definitely become a great tool." ”

After pouring it out, the middle-aged man was willing to hand over the remaining seven or eight points of peach blossom wine, and hurried back to his old wooden table to drink and enjoy himself.

What a sharp-eyed man in the plain robe, after taking the wine jug, he shook his head and smiled: "This senior is really joking, but it is an ordinary white porcelain fine flower wine jug in Jingdezhen, but the carvings on this wine jug are beautiful and unique, and it is different, if I am not mistaken, it should be a mandala flower in the Western Regions." ”

"Mandala flower?" Bai Yun, who grew up on Beisha and Jixia Mountain, had never heard of this flower, and showed a look of surprise.

"Yes, the mandala is also known as the peach blossom, is the famous flower of the Western Regions, but although the mandala is bewitching and beautiful, it is extremely toxic, but it can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed. The plain robe boy said.

"Young Master Long is really well-informed, but he doesn't look like an ordinary rich man. Zhang Yuruo said coldly, since they met in Yunmengze, Zhang Yuruo has never let down his vigilance against this master and servant.

"Where is it, Yuruo girl is serious, the family often has business dealings with the Western Regions, and there are often customs and customs of the Western Regions in the paintings, I have been familiar with the Western Regions since I was a child, but in fact, even if it is a half-ass, it is far from being well-informed. The boy in the plain robe continued: "If I am really a gentleman with a prominent background, why should I go to great lengths to hide it from you? Do I know that the rivers and lakes are difficult to travel, but I also want to go to Hushan? I must pull a large group of evil servants, this is enough for the scene, isn't it? Miss Zhang is suspicious. ”

Zhang Yuruo snorted coldly and stopped talking.
