Weird past in the countryside

Chapter 39

The waiter asked us if we could order, and the old Jitou replied: "You can introduce your specialty dishes to these two guests." The waiter walked to the table and announced the name of the dish loudly: "Our Hades The specialty dishes of the restaurant are: Braised Ground Shrimp in Oil, Stir-fried Yin Maggot, Steamed Ghost Claw with Hell Lily, Peony Flower Under the Dead, Little Ghost Grinds Tofu..."

Before the buddy finished his report, the old Jitou interrupted him: "These things you said, you all have one thing, and don't you have any other specialties? I always come here every time."

The guy hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Ji, you are really blessed. Our restaurant has just caught a few Tanxi white fish from Duanxi River in the underworld recently. Why don't we serve you a steamed Tanxi fish?"

When the old Jitou heard this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, serve quickly, I want these few dishes, and give us a jar of [-]-year-old Nurhong."

The guy nodded and went out.Lin Tong was very interested in these dishes, so he pulled Lao Ji's head and asked, "Master, what are the specialties of these dishes? Tell me about them."

Old Jitou coughed, and talked about the origins of these dishes in a somewhat ostentatious way: "This braised ground shrimp, this shrimp is taken from the Blood River Pond in the underworld, and it eats the souls of punishments all the year round, so the meat is fat and nutritious. The Yin maggot also comes from the Blood River Pond. It is produced from the body of a ghost tortured in the Blood River Pond. It is used for stir-frying. The meat is smooth, crisp and delicious. The lily steamed ghost claw is actually not a real ghost Claw, but a unique plant that grows on the Lianyin Mountain in Jifu. Its shape resembles a ghost claw. If it is steamed with Jifu lily, it will have both the fragrance of lily and the unique sweetness of ghost claw. As for The peony flower is taken from the saying, "The peony flower is dead, and ghosts are also romantic." In fact, this dish is taken from two ingredients, one is the peony in the yang world, and the other is the blood of the underworld. The blood lotus growing in the river pond, the peony is fragrant but light, and the blood lotus is juicy and plump. The combination of the two is a match made in heaven, the ultimate delicacy. There is also the little ghost grinding tofu, which is also from "money can make ghosts grind". That sentence, the tofu sauce is made by the ghost of the underworld, it is silky and has a unique taste. However, I haven't tasted the steamed Tanxi fish he mentioned, so I will definitely satisfy my taste in a while."

The old Jitou said that his eyebrows were beaming and his mouth was drooling, which made people feel that if they didn't eat these dishes, it would be a waste of time to walk in the world.While talking, the dishes have been served one after another. Sure enough, before the dishes are eaten, they are full of fragrance, which can arouse the appetite.

After the man put the five dishes together, he said casually: "Tanxi fish will have to wait for a while, steaming is relatively slow." As he said that, he patted away a pot of Nurhong's mud seal and poured it out for each of us. bowl.

Old Ji picked up the wine and said, "This daughter has been red for at least a hundred years. Come and taste it."

I picked up the wine and took a look, only to see that the wine was light yellow, transparent and clear, just looking pleasing to the eye.At the same time, it exudes an attractive and rich aroma. I took a sip, and the taste is mellow and sweet, which is really endless aftertaste.

Seeing how happy I was drinking, Lao Ji asked us to try the food again.Hearing him talk just now, and smelling the aroma of vegetables, has already aroused our appetite.Lin Tong and I picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dishes one by one.Originally, I thought that Lao Jitou was exaggerating a lot, but after eating it like this, I felt that he still had a lot to say about these dishes. They really are rare delicacies in the world.

Finally, the steamed Tanxi fish was served, which was even more delicious.The meat of the fish is delicate, melts in the mouth, tastes delicious, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.The three of us feasted and ate very refreshingly.

When the food was almost finished, Old Ji shouted to the outside: "Xiaoluzi, come in." The outside responded, and the guy came in with a bow.

Old Jitou took out an ingot of paper and silver, put it on the table, and said, "Pay the bill, the rest will be rewarded to you."

When Xiao Luzi heard this, he beamed and was overjoyed: "Yo, thank you, Mr. Ji, thank you all." Old Ji took out another gold ingot from his pocket and put it on the table: "Xiao Luzi, I know Let me ask you something, tell me."

When Xiao Luzi saw the gold ingot, he smiled from ear to ear, and put the gold ingot into his arms: "Look, Master Ji, I am so generous every time, I feel embarrassed."

Old Ji smiled: "As long as I am satisfied with what you said, it's nothing."

Xiaoluzi pulled a chair, sat beside him, lowered his voice and said to Old Ji: "Master Ji, this time there is really some important news. I heard that there are some bronze items from the Qin and Han Dynasties found in the Nanshan Ancient Tomb. The utensils, as well as a few things in the palace during the next year, these are all in the owner of Ming Cui Zhai, and he will not sell them, and not many people know about them."

Old Jitou nodded, expressing his satisfaction.He waved Xiaoluzi away.Seeing that we were almost done eating, he took us out of Hades Restaurant, and that path took us a long way.

Old Jitou pointed to Xiaoluzi secretly, and said to me: "Don't underestimate Xiaoluzi, he knows everything about yin and yang, and many people who want to inquire about information have to ask him. "

I couldn't help but look at Xiaoluzi with admiration, seeing that the time was almost up, I asked old Jitou: "Master, how about the road to Chituo Mountain?"

Old Jitou slapped his head: "Look at my head, I almost forgot, how about it, have you seen the fork in the road next to it? Turn around and you will come out of this Green Snake Hill. It's not far to go. It's the boundary of Qituo Mountain. The real Qingxuan you are looking for is on that mountain. As for how you can find it, whether he can see you or not depends on your luck. I won't send you there. I still have to go to Ming Cui Zhai to see those items, so take care of yourself all the way."

Seeing that Old Ji was about to leave, I was really reluctant to part with him.I took old Jitou's hand and expressed my deep gratitude to him for taking care of him these two days.Old Jitou patted me: "Young man, you and I are really destined, and I am a little bit reluctant to part with you. Come to me when you are free. If you need my help with anything, I will definitely give up my old life. help you."

Lin Tong was also reluctant to part, and the old Jitou said to Lin Tong: "Poor child, if you have a chance to be reincarnated, I wish you a good family." Then he turned and left.

Lin Tong and I watched Lao Ji go away, turned around and walked towards the fork in the road.

As soon as we turned out of this valley and walked on that fork road, our eyes suddenly went dark, and we immediately returned to the situation of night.I looked at the dark mountain in front of me, and my heart became heavy again. I remembered the purpose of this trip, and I don't know if it will go well.

I said to Lin Tong who was still holding my arm: "Lin Tong, there is Tuoshan Mountain in front of you. They say that my master has a weird temper. I don't know what will happen when he sees you. I think you should go back to the soul lock ring." .”

Lin Tong leaned against me like a small bird, and when he heard this, his expression suddenly became sad: "I listen to you."

I was also a little bit reluctant to part with Lin Tong, but I still had to take her back into the soul lock ring.

I walked along the forked road to Chituo Mountain. Strange to say, when I stepped into the boundary of Chituo Mountain, I suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was different from other places.I can really feel the cleanliness and peace here, and I don't feel any ghosts. This should be a pure land.It seems that within the scope of the master, ghosts and monsters have to stay away.

Although I can feel the clean breath, it is still late at night, and the cold wind is blowing on my body, and I can feel a slight chill.I tightened my clothes and quickened my pace to move forward.

I entered a woods ahead, the wind in the woods was much lower, and I was a little tired after walking, maybe it was because of the days of running around, but I finally arrived at the place today, and I felt a sense of relief in my heart.I sat down with my back against a big tree, and finally fell asleep slowly.

I don't know how long I slept, I suddenly felt that someone was blowing on my face, very soft.I thought it was a dream, rubbed my nose and continued to fall asleep.But falling asleep, I suddenly felt difficulty in breathing, a little out of breath, my nose seemed to be pinched.

I was shocked and opened my eyes suddenly.When I opened my eyes, I was startled.There is a face in front of me, less than a centimeter away from my face, almost face to face.He stared at me, my nose was pinched tightly in his hand.As soon as our eyes met, we were startled at the same time, and we all said "ah" and hid back.

He stepped back with a stride, but I was facing a tree behind me. I bumped my head against the tree and felt dizzy for a while.I clutched the back of my head, pulled out my mahogany sword, and waited for the battle.I thought to myself: "How come there are still ghosts haunting the master's territory?"

The man took a step back and yelled: "Hey, you opened your eyes and didn't say a word, you scared me."

Only then did I see clearly that there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in front of me. She had a curly head and brows, white teeth and red lips, neat bangs on her forehead, a slightly upturned little nose, a little playful, and a flushed face. of.At this moment, he was crossing his hips, staring at me with disbelief.

I was a little discouraged, put down the mahogany sword, and said to her: "Little girl, I slept well, it seems that you are peeping at me, okay?"

The little girl took a sip: "Bah, who cares to look at you? Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

I'm a little annoyed: "Do I need to tell you what I'm here for?"

The little girl came over, walked around me a few times, and looked me up and down several times.She looked at me with hair straightened, and I asked puzzledly, "What do you see me doing?"

She stopped suddenly and asked sharply: "You, tell me quickly, are you here to steal something?"

I rolled my eyes angrily: "You're the one stealing, I'm here to find someone."

She then asked, "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

I was so forced by her that I had no choice but to say it: "I'm looking for Master Qingxuan."
