Your knowledge is too taboo

Chapter 56 The Lost People
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a famous dish.

The first time Chen Qing knew the name of this dish was in an old movie.The male protagonist who is the God of Cookery in the movie once cooked this dish, and it looked quite delicious and impressive.

And this strange name also made Chen Qing deepen his memory of this dish.

And Chen Qing felt that he was probably not the only one who found this name strange.

As for why this name was given, the specific origins are diverse and controversial.

But, when I found out that Qi Lu wanted this recipe in the mirror.

Two questions suddenly popped up in Chen Qing's mind.

The first question is, what do they want this recipe to do?
Or to be more precise - does the dish made with this recipe have any special power?

Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that Qi Lu would exchange a precious elixir for this recipe.

And the second question besides this is.

Can the ingredients used by Buddha to jump over the wall still be found in the wasteland?
Like those abalones, old hens, clams...

Chen Qing still remembers it.

Pollution not only contaminates knowledge and items, but also causes some animals to mutate.The "Wasteland Black Snake" used to make the elixir material is a mutated animal.

From this, we can boldly speculate that perhaps some species among the ingredients used to make Buddha Jump Over the Wall have been contaminated and turned into new things.

Then the problem is coming.

Can living things that have become distorted after being polluted still be called "food"? !
With such questions in mind, Chen Qing fell into deep thought.

"However, perhaps it is precisely because the ingredients are contaminated that extraordinary food can be made."

Of course, as forbidden knowledge, recipes must also have extraordinary power.If you follow the instructions in the recipe, you will most likely get amazing results.

and many more.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

Chen Qing's eyes lit up slightly.

Although I don't know it.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t ask?

"Wouldn't it be nice to ask in a way that won't lose your identity?"

Thinking this, he cleared his throat.

Then he said slowly to the mirror: "'Buddha Jumps over the Wall'? It's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Where did you learn about it?"

Hear this.

Qi Lu was stunned for a moment.

Because this was the first time that the Lord of Truth asked him about something other than "transaction"!

All conversations before this were basically based on transactions.Either the Lord of Truth asked Qi Lu what he wanted, or what price he could pay.

However, this time, it was the first time that he gave up the transaction and showed his interest in something...

At this moment, Qi Lu realized that this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

An opportunity to get closer to the Lord of Truth!
He did not hesitate to tell everything he knew: "This secret also comes from the 'Zenya Federation' thousands of years ago."

"While excavating the Thorn Mask, we unearthed a lot of documents and records about the Zenya Federation. And in those records, we learned about the item 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'."

Qi Lu said quickly: "Before the demise of the Zenya Federation, it always regarded itself as the 'City of Gourmet Food'. And 'Buddha Jumps over the Wall' is their highly respected dish. It is said that those who master this recipe may be qualified to become high-sequence extraordinary— —'The God of Cookery'."

"I don't expect to be able to obtain extraordinary sequences, I just hope to be able to make Buddha Jump Over the Wall. Because..."

Looking at the mirror, Qi Lu's voice was very soft: "I have a friend, a friend I met in the 'Zenya Federation'. He dreams of eating that dish."

Yes.

Qi Lu is not asking for himself.

But I am asking for a friend I met from the ruins of "Zenya Federation".

It was an ancient puppet.

The puppet looks like a girl, and has been sleeping in the relics of the Zenya Federation's past for a long time.A thick layer of earth pressed down on it, leaving it in eternal darkness.

It wasn't until Qi Lu and the others dug out the ruins with the help of the treasure map in their hands that the light of thousands of years later shone on the puppet again.

And when the light shines into the ruins.

The puppet woke up and almost attacked Qi Lu and the others.

Because it is an automatic guardian puppet.Any intruder who wants to enter the ruins will be attacked by the puppet with the most lethal force!
Fortunately, because thousands of years have passed, the energy supporting the puppet has basically been exhausted.So in the end it could only stand there awkwardly, unable to move.

In the end, it could only stare at Qi Lu and the others.

...Who knows how embarrassing the scene was at that time.

but.

Fortunately, Qi Lu and the others are not pure intruders.

And now that thousands of years have passed, the federation that the puppets need to protect has long since perished.

After a short negotiation, the puppet finally understood this.

The place where it lived in the past is now only a handful of loess and a record in history.

And after understanding this.

The puppet almost collapsed.

It dropped its guard in despair and didn't say anything. It just covered its face, as if sobbing, but couldn't shed tears due to its body structure.

If it weren't for knowing its true identity, just looking at its back, Qi Lu would have thought it was a girl who had lost her psychological support and was crying softly.

This made him feel a little compassion.

That was not a favorable impression of the opposite sex - Qi Lu was not perverted enough to fall in love with the wooden bump he met for the first time.

It was pure compassion and compassion.

It is the empathy of a homeless person who has been holding on for thousands of years, but finally found that his hometown collapsed.

Because he's pretty much the same.

The Qi family also became homeless after losing their hometown.

So he quickly clicked with the puppet.

After understanding it, Qi Lu learned from the puppet that its greatest wish was to eat the Buddha and jump over the wall.

"That's an ancient recipe that my former master dreamed of recreating."

The puppet's voice was cold: "In the first half of my life as a guard puppet, I was closely linked to this recipe. My master worked hard for this recipe, and never gave up on recovery even when he was about to die. Discover it."

"And the same is true for her descendants. The master's daughter has been carrying out her mother's will and trying to reproduce the dish all the time. Then there are the daughter's daughter, the granddaughter's son..."

It was a history so long that only one person was left.

And in that history, the whole family's prayers and desires have now become similar obsessions, imprinted on the puppet's body.

Unknowingly, it...or "she" has become a being similar to its master, regarding the dreamlike past as its highest pursuit.

At the same time, it is also the last thing left to her by the "Zenya Federation" thousands of years ago!

After all this is said.

Qi Lu looked behind him.

Behind him, a girl with black hair, black eyes, wearing a set of strange decorations, with her hands folded in front of her body, was looking at him silently.

In Qi Lu's eyes, the girl-like puppet stepped forward and stood in front of the mirror.

And inside the mirror.

The figures are twisted like flickering lights.

After half a day.

"can."

The Lord of Truth in the mirror made his decision in a grand and solemn voice: "The balance is equal and the deal is established."

After a moment.

The voice of the Lord of Truth came again.

Only this time, His tone seemed to be a little softer.

"Maybe this is fate too."

"Now that you have obtained it, pass on this dusty recipe."

He said to Qi Lu and the puppet.
