Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 156 The Oriental Kitchen
Su Ji turned around and said, "Then you might as well tell me, what hidden rules are there in this test of registered disciples?"

Ye Linglong invited Su Ji to sit down at the wine table, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Even if you have great ability, if you haven't passed the gold and silver code, you may not pass this test. I guess you must Unexpectedly, the beast that can only glow during the day is not Jiang Taigong's four-faced mount at all, but a greedy elk. The elk has been cast with a spell, not only glowing, but also communicating with people. People who have passed the gold and silver code before will carry a bag of special fodder on their bodies, and the beast will nod as soon as it smells it. That's why Yin Jiuyou was admitted as an exception. However, even the priest in white didn't know about these things .”

"Even the person in charge of the test of the registered disciples doesn't know!" Su Ji was slightly stunned, and asked, "Could it be that the main messenger behind the scenes is someone from the top echelons? But those people are all monks with profound morals, how can they be easily fooled by you?" Buy it with money?"

Ye Linglong shook off the fan, slapped it twice smartly, and said, "It depends on each person. Ordinary people want to buy with money, and monks have to use treasures to buy. Before I came this time, I had already donated a The large amount of incense money has already been opened up with treasures, so it will be passed so smoothly during the day. In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Chanjiao, only the disciples who enter the house are the real disciples. As for the registered disciples who do odd jobs and cook, who will come? Do the same..."

Su Ji held the wine glass tightly, and said angrily: "I never thought that Chanjiao, the leader of the Taoist sect, would be so unbearable now!"

Ye Linglong shook her head, and said disapprovingly: "If you think about it carefully, these are actually reasonable things. Not all the monks in Kunlun Mountain are bigu. First of all, the Master Chan is a gluttonous cook, and the one who died last year Daoist Taijia spends a total of 10 yuan on drinking famous wine every year. His disciples also have to eat, drink, firewood, rice, oil and salt. Palaces and Taoist temples must be repaired and maintained. Which one of these must not need money? Kunlun Mountain is not owned by robbers You can't rob the cottage, and you can't steal it, so we have to use the gimmick of recruiting named disciples to make some money."

Su Ji was thoughtful, and then said: "Hearing what you said, I really want to see who is the master of teaching who is manipulating everything behind the scenes."

"Don't worry, you will see that person sooner or later."

Saying that, Ye Linglong took out a heavy cloth bag and threw it on the wine table.

Su Ji opened the cloth bag and saw that it was filled with white powder, which looked familiar.After sniffing slightly, Su Ji was startled suddenly, and couldn't help blurting out:

"Hua Qing San?"

"Yo!" Ye Linglong was slightly taken aback, and said, "I don't see that you still have some knowledge."

Su Ji's face suddenly darkened, recalling that when he was in the Qinglingsleep Realm, only a small packet of Huaqingsan was enough to restrain his mother in the Ninth Realm of Xuanqing, but now such a large packet will make many people temporarily lose their power .

"What are you going to do with so many Huaqingsan?"

Ye Linglong lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "The seventh day of the next month is the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, which is one of the most important festivals of Chanjiao. On that day, not only the senior officials of Chanjiao will hold a big banquet in Yaochi, but also everywhere in Kunlun Mountains. The teaching is to celebrate, and the dishes on that day are in charge of the Shanzhen Pavilion that you will go to. You have to put Huaqing in the meals on the day of the festival. This is the second thing I ask you to do!"

Su Ji rolled his eyes, and said calmly, "Oh, I thought it was a big deal, and it was so mysterious, but it turned out to be a trivial matter, just leave it to me!"

Seeing that Su Ji readily agreed to such a difficult task, Ye Linglong couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and even started to feel a little uncertain.

Su Ji happily took the cloth bag, tipped his hands twice, and thought to himself: Hmph, such a large bag of Huaqing has been scattered in my hands, whether I use it or not, and who to use it for, I have the final say... …

That night, Ye Linglong and Su Ji drank freely and talked happily.

Su Ji has been in the wine market for more than 20 years, and his ability to know people after drinking is first-rate. The prerequisite for making the other party tell the truth after drinking is to drink better than the other party. Su Ji fully meets this condition.

Although Ye Linglong's drinking capacity is quite good among women, it pales in comparison to Su Ji.

The two of them came and went, and between drinking and drinking, they found that they were both gentlemen, and the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became much more relaxed.When they were drunk, the two even started calling each other brothers.

Ye Linglong's gestures show some informal movements from time to time, and she doesn't shy away from using some dirty words when she speaks.

Based on past experience, Su Ji can basically judge that although people like Ye Linglong are quite powerful, they are by no means sinister and cunning.Although she is a rich lady, her speech and behavior are more bold and generous than some men, especially when it comes to spending money.

As for the matter of stealing things, Ye Linglong always insists that she is a "stealer has the right way", and feels deeply proud of it.

That night, the two fell asleep on the same futon hugging each other all night.

The next day, Su Ji who was the first to wake up found himself hugging a woman, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of unnaturalness.He lightly covered Ye Linglong with a quilt, thinking that if she was a man, she would be a confidant and drinking buddy, but unfortunately she was not.

Guided by the priest in white, Su Ji came to Shanzhen Pavilion.

The person in charge was a Taoist priest in yellow, surnamed Huang and surnamed Niu.

Su Ji could tell that the yellow Taoist priest's yellow uniform was originally white like the rest of the same sect, but because of long-term cooking, the clothes were covered with yellow oil stains, and basically turned into a piece. The color of an oil rag.

Daoist Huang Niu gave Su Ji a peachwood box, which contained the Taoist uniforms of the registered disciples of Chanjiao, as well as various daily necessities.

Holding the peachwood box, Su Ji followed him all the way, passing a few stone rooms along the way, which must be the resting place for the disciples of Shanzhen Pavilion.

Daoist Huangniu was the complete opposite of the cold white-clothed Taoist priest in Jingxin Pavilion. His attitude towards Su Ji was as passionate as fire, and he chatted non-stop like fried beans along the way.

Through his introduction, Su Ji learned that the disciples of Shanzhen Pavilion spread all over the Kunlun Mountains, big and small, and their main job was to provide three meals for the low-level monks and registered disciples, mostly vegetarian.In addition to cooking, Shanzhen Pavilion will also refine a kind of elixir called "Bigu Dan".

This kind of elixir is given to monks who are above the second realm of Xuanqing. If you take just one pill, you can persist without eating or drinking for a year.

Su Ji had heard of Bigu Dan, a miraculous elixir, a long time ago, but what surprised him was that the Bigu Dan refined by Shanzhen Pavilion had more than one flavor, including beef, pork, and chicken. , mutton, stewed chicken with mushrooms, pork ribs with scallions, and various vegetarian flavors such as vegetables and radishes...

I have seen a lot of novel things along the way, and the final destination is a large kitchen that can accommodate hundreds of people.

There are four oil-stained characters on the plaque at the entrance of the kitchen: "Oriental Kitchen".

This is the largest kitchen in Shanzhen Pavilion.

Before Su Ji walked in, he smelled a burning smell coming from inside...

Daoist Huang Niu said that the Oriental Kitchen is a place dedicated to cultivating the cooking skills of Shanzhen Pavilion disciples.

Today is the busiest time of the year at Dongfang Kitchen, because the Queen Mother of the West's birthday festival will be next month.Now the elders in Dongfang Kitchen are studying novel dishes with the disciples of Shanzhen Pavilion.

Regarding the festival of Queen Mother of the West's birthday, Daoist Huang Niu told a legend that interested Su Ji very much.

According to legend, a long time ago, a disciple of Shanzhen Pavilion won the favor of the Queen Mother of the West with dishes made by him.In order to reward this man, the Queen Mother of the West specially gave him a flat peach as a reward.After that disciple ate the flat peaches, he floated into the clouds and became a fairy.

Su Ji was very excited when he heard it, and thought that if he could get the flat peach from Queen Mother Xi, even if he didn't need to steal the inner alchemy of the White Wolf King, he would be able to save his apprentice Hua Rulang.

However, Taoist Huang Niu said that the legend of the flat peach is just a legend, and the fairy named Queen Mother of the West does not exist, because no one has ever seen it.

Su Ji followed Daoist Huang Niu into the Oriental Kitchen, and saw that the inside was full of heat, seven or eight elders were waving big spoons, cooking vegetables profusely with sweat, and a few fat disciples were adding water and rice to another pot nearby.

When passing by the big pot and small bowl on the stove, Su Ji took a few extra glances with ulterior motives, thinking in his heart that if he really wanted to be cleared up on the day of Queen Mother of the West's festival, this Oriental Kitchen should be the target.

"Brother Bai! We meet again!"

Su Ji was startled suddenly, and a familiar voice came from beside his ear.

Immediately afterwards, a greasy hand pressed Su Ji's shoulder!Turning his head slowly, Su Ji saw a familiar face.

Niu Zhu stood behind him enthusiastically, wearing a brand new white Taoist uniform already stained with mottled oil.

"Brother Niu?" Su Ji asked blankly, "Why are you in Shanzhen Pavilion? Where's your Master Chanjiao?"

"Master should still be cutting trees there." After Niu Zhu said this, his dull expression suddenly became mysterious, and he said with a smile: "Brother Bai, there is something that you must not think of. My master said it was The last time he participated in the Queen Mother of the West's birthday festival, so he became the chef of Shanzhen Pavilion this year!"
