Chapter 300 303 Cooking
Shen Mu worked a little bit in the kitchen. First, he killed a rabbit, peeled and washed it, removed the bones and shredded it, simmered it in chicken broth over low heat, added rice wine, soy sauce, green onion, ginger juice, and peppercorns to taste, and used it as soup. When the simmer was almost done, thickened with mung bean starch to make a spicy and spicy rabbit shreds, put it on the table, and several people swallowed greedily, full of praise for Shen Mu's cooking skills.

Then I grilled a plate of mutton kebabs, a dish of cooked quail, lychee white kidney, bud belly, fried white kidney, roasted quail, moistened chicken, lotus duck sticks, and three delicacies. , not tire of detail.

At sunset and dusk, the scene slowly melts into the successive lights.Shen Mu, Mingxiu and the others enjoyed all kinds of gourmet food on the wine table, and there were two jars of Yangzhou Qionghualu, which was probably the case with the imperial palace delicacies.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.There is still one jar of wine in the wine jar, but everyone is already a little drunk.

"Mr. Shen is really good at drinking." Gu Hanjiang took a break from drinking, and said thoughtfully: "Remember, Xiu'er, when you were young, you often drank secretly like me, and fell asleep after a few sips. I need to carry you back to the room to rest. In a blink of an eye, Xiu'er has grown up."

Ming Xiudao's pretty face was flushed, and it was unknown whether it was because of being drunk or because of shyness: "Master, did you ever think about it, maybe at that time Xiu'er just wanted to..."

Shen Mu said: "Xiu'er, you must have drunk a lot, go to sleep."

"No..." Mingxiu's eyes were blurred, and he started talking drunk: "Xiu'er is not drunk..."

"..." Seeing Mingxiu's cute drunk appearance, Shen Mu smiled and shook his head.

And Ju Shifang was already drunk, talking nonsense, "I don't have the talent for mechanism skills... Mother... Mother... I also want to make a mechanism like the bean bag... And... I will Take good care of the bean bag...that's the only thing you left me..."

Luo Zhaoyan smiled and said, "Brother Ju seems to be talking drunk."

"Oh." Shen Mu smiled faintly, "If you have wine in your life, you must be drunk, so don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. A good night is like this, the moon is white and the wind is clear, no matter what troubles you have, let's leave them for now. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the night? "

Luo Zhaoyan nodded and said, "Brother Chen said, come on, let's finish the last half of this jar of wine! Do it!"

After speaking, they poured wine for Shen Mu, and the two drank until Shen Ye went back to their rooms to rest.

……

The next day, Shen Mu and the others bid farewell to Gu Hanjiang and continued on their way to Jing'an. On the way, they encountered a small base of the Demon Cult. They were jealous and killed them all the way.

"We can't stop them!" Xiao Luo ran to the main hall of the stronghold, and met a man wearing a coat, a crown hat, and white hair mixed with his temples. status is not common.

This person is Gao Xiao, the commander of the "Soul Enlightenment Sect" of the Devil's Cult. If you look closely at Gao Xiao's thin face, narrow and long eyes, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and a smiling expression hangs on his face, with a knife hidden in his smile , but his behavior is also the same, insidious and cunning, despicable and shameless, to achieve his goals by hook or by crook.

"Trash! What use are you for!" Gao Xiao scolded his opponent angrily, then lowered his head and stroked the two mustaches on his lips, thinking: "I just received the order from the Holy Proclamation to go to the main altar. They want me to take over as suzerain, so I met these evil stars!"

Thinking of this, Gao Xiao said to one of his subordinates beside him: "Meng Cheng, Shengxuan intends to let me take over as suzerain, so I will go to the main altar right away. You block them for me, and I will not treat you badly in the future." !” Said and disappeared in a flash.

"Si Zhao! Si Zhao!" The subordinate named Meng Cheng shouted quickly, with a bitter expression on his face.

"Oops!" Another disciple of the Holy Soul Enlightenment Sect who resisted was knocked down by Shen Mu and the others and killed in.

Meng Cheng only recognized the identities of Luo Zhaoyan and Ju Shifang. The others didn't know each other. He thought that Shen Mu and the others were members of the official alliance, so he hurriedly shouted to the disciples of the Holy Sect who stayed in the hall: "These people are all They are heretics of the Zhengwu League, destroying them will prove your loyalty to the Lord of the Underworld, come on—"

"Kill!" The disciples of the Holy Sect rushed up, but they couldn't resist Shen Mu and the others.

Meng Cheng secretly said: "Ordinary disciples can't stop them for a long time, so they can only use that trick..."

"This is!"

"Mengjiao envoy is about to ascend! Underworld Lord protects you!!"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...… Lord of the underworld..... Dedicate you... all... to the Lord of the Underworld!"

It turns out that the soul-enlightening pearl is equipped with a person, and it will absorb the vitality of the person.But if this power is allowed to flow back into the body, it can greatly increase the power of a person or beast.Although the human body is not as tough as wild animals, it will soon collapse due to unbearable strength.

Ju Shifang frightened: "This, this... is he crazy?!"

Shen Mu looked at Meng Cheng who was rising in mid-air, and said to himself: "He exudes a strange aura...he is no longer human!"

"Underworld Lord... Protect..." Meng Cheng cried out in pain again, and turned into an orc with a ferocious face.

"Hey...Meng Jiaoshi...has ascended..." the disciple of the Holy Sect exclaimed in surprise.

Mingxiu frowned and said: "How can you say that you are ascending after turning into an inhuman?"

"You... fart!" The disciples of the Holy Sect said with a pious face: "Only us...pious believers can get the Lord of the Underworld, bestow the soul-enlightening beads, and wear the beads to strengthen their bodies and improve their skills. The most pious believers You can also get the approval of the Lord of the Underworld, and the Sizhao will hold a ceremony to turn into a soul fish...fly to the Lord of the Underworld! One day...the Lord of the Underworld will come to the earth...Let you unbelievers...Death is incomplete...All ..."

As he said that, all the disciples of the Holy Sect in the hall fell to the ground and died, and Meng Cheng also exploded into powder.

"Soul Sealing Bead...Soul Fish..." Shen Mu stepped forward to pick up the Soul Sealing Bead.

Luo Zhaoyan looked at the Soul Enlightenment Bead in Shen Mu's hand and said, "This is the Soul Enlightenment Orb, right? There is nothing else like a bead."

Shen Mu looked at the soul-enlightening pearl in his hand, and said to Mingxiu, "It looks like an ordinary pearl...Ms. Ming, do you see anything strange?"

"..." Mingxiu touched the bead in Shen Mu's hand carefully and said: "After careful inspection, there is indeed a strange aura in the bead, but it doesn't seem to be a monster..."

Shen Mu put the soul-enlightening pearl into a wooden box, and said, "Let's take this pearl back first."

Ju Shifang looked at the dead bodies on the ground and said, "...these people... just fell here... so pitiful..."

Luo Zhao said: "Let's let them go to the ground first."

Two days later, Shen Mu and his party came to Jing'an City.

Jing'an City was bustling with traffic, and it was very lively. A group of residents on the street were running towards the center of the city, "Hurry up and watch the excitement, there is another disturbance at the gate of Zhengwumeng!"

"Really? Is it because of that Demon Cult again?"

"What else can there be!"

Shen Mu crossed his arms, looked at the direction where the residents were running, and said with a sneer, "I admire the courage of the Demon Cult to make trouble in front of the Zhengwu League."

Mingxiu wondered: "How is this possible? Jing'an is the headquarters of the Zhengwu League. If there is a conflict with the Zhengwu League here, the Demon Cult will hit a stone with an egg."

Yue Jinchao said: "Just go and have a look. If it's really the Devil's Cult, we can just catch a few more and hand them over to the Zhengwu League."

"Well, let's go and have a look." Ju Shifang followed the crowd and ran towards the center of the street.

"Zuo Guanren! Come out!" A man shouted in front of the official alliance gate, as if he had gone mad and died: "The Lord of the Underworld blesses us with good health and prosperity in the next life. If we are devout enough, we can ascend to immortality .What have you Zhengwumeng done, dare to slander and harm the Lord of the Underworld?"

The residents of the city who were watching were discussing——

"Isn't this... Lu Dazhi?"

"you recognize?"

"He was my former neighbor. His parents died a long time ago, and he managed to marry a wife and have children and live a stable life. Who knows... Sigh!"

"He became obsessed with the Devil's Cult last year. He made a fuss about donating all his family property to the Lord of the Underworld. He made his wife so angry that she took the child back to her mother's house. I didn't expect it to become like this now."

"The Demon Cult is so hateful!" Ju Shifang gritted his teeth.

Shen Mu put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile: "People who are fooled are also stupid. If you don't work hard for what you want, you think you can wait for the pie to fall from the sky if you believe in a god. You deserve to be cheated."

"En." Mingxiu beside him felt reasonable and nodded.

"Look, the leader of the left alliance has come out!" At this time, a man walked out from the gate of the official alliance. He was dressed in a purple brocade robe, tall and majestic, with eyes like torches, and a big beard. He looked upright and resolute. The leader of the official alliance, Zuo Guanren.

When the rioters saw the appearance of the leader Zuo, they pointed angrily: "Ren Zuoguan, you killed the suzerain and hunted down the brothers in my sect. Why do you persecute the holy sect like this?"

With his hands behind his back, Zuo Guanren spoke uprightly, "Soul Enlightenment Demon Cult bewitched the people, ruined all the families of believers, and made people and gods angry. If the Zhengwu League just ignores it, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the people?"

The onlookers said one after another: "Yes! That's right!"

Zuo Guanren looked at the troublemaker and said, "My friend, the Devil's Cult intends to attract followers, so naturally we must try our best to brag about it. You are in the Devil's Cult, have you ever seen someone soaring in the sky?"

The troublemaker said fiercely: "Of course I have seen the people recruited by the Lord of the Underworld! You don't believe in the Lord of the Underworld, so it is useless to tell you. Let me tell you, these are all oil around me. If the Zhengwu League does not agree to stop the harm today Shengzong, I will die with you!"

Zuo Guan said humanely: "You are so negligent of life because of the Devil's Cult. If you want to let your family, wife and children know, how sad it is!"

"Wife and child?... Bah! Those sluts dare to slander the Lord of the Underworld. I can't ascend to the ascension. I'm probably dragged down by them!" As the troublemaker said, he drew out his dagger and stabbed at his wife.

"Oh!"

"what!……"

Shen Mu didn't expect this man to attack his wife as if he had lost his mind, kicked this man down, and then stepped on it.

"Who are you! Let me go!"

"Young hero is very skillful!" The onlookers applauded one after another.

"Young hero acted righteously and saved a life, Zuo admires it!" Zuo Guanren stepped forward and cupped his fists, and then said to his opponent: "Li Mi, Qiu Lingyun, imprison Lu Dazhi, and immediately go to his wife's house to find out the situation. "

"Leader, don't worry, I will take care of me, Lao Qiu." Two subordinates dragged the insane person away.

A while later, Zuo Guanren learned that Shen Mu was a friend of Shifang and Mingxiu, so he invited Shen Mu and others to the Zhengwu League hall to have a talk, "So it's Shen Shaoxia, thank you Zuo, Shifang and Miss Ming, long time no see, and Let the old man go to the hall to talk.

When they arrived in the hall, everyone met Bian Luohuan, who was drinking tea in the hall, they couldn't help being slightly taken aback, Yue Jin stepped forward and asked Zuo Lianzhu: "Zuo Lianzhu, what is the relationship between this brother Bian and the Zhengwu League?"

Zuo Guanren said in a deep voice for a moment: "Bian Shaoxia is our informant in Qihun Demon Sect."

"Informant?!" Ming Xiu's eyes showed doubts.

Zuo Guanren smiled, and said slowly: "More than a year ago, Bian Shaoxia told the old man that there was something wrong with the Demon Sect of Enlightenment Soul. At that time, the old man didn't care. Thing... Sigh! Bian Shaoxia provided a lot of information about the Demon Sect to the Zhengwu League, and helped us a lot. I heard that you had some misunderstandings before, for the sake of this old man, let’s just expose it."

Bian Luohuan explained: "Senior brother fell seriously ill because of the demon sect, and I assisted the leader of the left alliance to destroy the demon sect in order to get revenge. This matter is very confidential, so I didn't tell a few people before. The senior brother suddenly fell ill that day. Going back to treat him, I offended a few of you so much, I am really sorry."

Shen Mu sneered in his heart, and said lightly: "Well, then you have no other choice, hehe..."

"By the way, leader, were you talking about something important just now?"

Zuo Guanren stroked the sleeve of his robe, sighed and said, "It's still about the Devil's Cult, let's sit down and talk."

Several people took their seats, and Luo Zhaoyan clasped his fists and asked, "Leader Zuo, when the Zhengwu League wiped out Jing An's helm of the Demon Sect, and also eliminated the former suzerain of the Demon Sect, could it be that the information provided by Bian Shaoxia?"

"That's right." The leader left nodded.

Luo Zhaoyan felt relieved, and said: "Zhengwu League has always wanted to destroy the Demon Cult, but it suffers from not knowing the location of its main altar. It seems that Brother Bian has never touched the center of the Demon Cult. Then... I don't know how Brother Bian learned of the suzerain's trip. Waiting for important information?"

Bian Luohuan smiled and said: "I also found out by chance. Although I'm not sure whether it's true or not, but it's a very important matter, so I informed the leader Zuo to know."

"I heard that the ranks in the Devil's Cult from high to low are Shengxuan, Suzerain, Sizhao, and ordinary believers. Among them, Shengxuan is the messenger of the Lord of the Underworld, and the suzerain is in charge of the power of the human world on behalf of Shengxuan. Could it be... after the Demon Cult became powerful? , Shengxuan felt that the suzerain threatened him...so..." Luo Zhaoyan hesitated.

Shen Mu said: "Brother Luo is saying that the suzerain was sold to the Zhengwu League by Shengxuan through Brother Bian?"

"I don't think I have revealed my identity." Bian Luohuan quickly shook his head and said, "Besides, it is said that Shengxuan must serve the Lord of the Underworld, and he has no skills at all. That's why he appointed the suzerain to act as the representative of the teaching affairs. To betray him is to cut off his own arms."

"Serve... the Lord of the Underworld?" Everyone was puzzled.

Ming Xiu stroked the hair on his chest and said, "The so-called Lord of the Underworld is nothing but an idol they use to confuse the common people, right?"

Bian Luohuan waved his hand and said: "No, according to my investigation, the Lord of the Underworld probably does exist, but I have a lowly position in the religion and cannot see it in person."

Luo Zhaoyan was noncommittal, nodded and asked: "...Brother Bian, do you know what kind of person the Lord of the Underworld is? Didn't the Lord of the Underworld even intervene in such a major event as the killing of the suzerain? Could it be... Could it be that the Underworld Lord and Shengxuan have no relationship at all?" You only use the Demon Cult as a pawn, and you have even more ulterior motives!?"

"I don't know about that either." Bian Luohuan waved his hand.

Hearing this, Zuo Guanren frowned and said: "Well... this is also a big worry for the old man. If this is the case, there may be more dangerous secrets hidden in the Demon Cult..."
