"This sun"
The man wearing a bamboo hat took another step, his figure almost flashing. The first step was clearly in the plains, and the next step moved to the mountains and rivers.
He stood on the top of the mountain and looked up at the sun in the sky. Under the bamboo hat that covered half of his face, he could see a thin lip raised, "Interesting, the sun is very strong. It wants to burn me the deeper I go." The more you move, the stronger the burning sensation will become. Even if I use this sky-shielding method, I can still feel it. It seems that a good sect has replaced the lotus."
He took another step out, running away for hundreds of miles, leaving the sound behind.
"Yes, how can the lotus flower compare to the sun, which has the majesty of a martyr king? Is it the Western sect? I heard that the demon disaster in this land of Hebei may be the work of the Western sect. maybe."
The man wearing a bamboo hat murmured to himself, his steps getting faster and faster, and his figure was running across the land at a very fast speed. But after a while, a city appeared in his eyes.
"Forget it, just go and take a look and you'll find out."
…
Jizhou, Tianma Road, Jinqiu Mansion.
This place is one of the twenty-four roads and seventy-two prefectures in the six states. It is close to Da Zhao and is also a border area. Its road has many mountains and is like a winged foal, so it is called Tianma Road.
The autumn colors here are the most beautiful. In autumn, the ground is golden, whether it is cultivated land or trees, it is a pleasing sight.
When the Taoist prefectures were divided, names were given based on local characteristics.
Wan Yan Gu was in the city at this time. He happened to be in the capital and had nothing to do. Before Song Yin came back, he heard that a demon was born in this place. There happened to be a shipment of food and seeds in the door, so he came to do it when he had nothing to do.
Although he now also works for the Daqian Army and is the deputy commander of Wang Qizheng's Beiwu Guard, he can also do things in the sect.
This time the expedition to Dai Viet went to Nanwu Guard. The other three guards were left untouched, and Wan Yan Gu also had a lot of time.
At this time, in the granary in the middle of the city, Wanyan Gu was sitting in the center of the open space, carrying a small horse and a stove in front of him, cooking meat and drinking wine.
He rinsed the piece of meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing it twice, he poured a glass of wine and drank it. He said to the prefect opposite who was guarding the seeds:
"Old Zhangtou, please do the math for me. Although this is a small thing, it is related to the county's planting plan for the coming year. If it delays the matter, I will be punished, and your head will not be saved."
"Commander Wanyan, what are you talking about? I have been the prefect for twenty years, and I have never made any mistakes in the affairs of this county. Don't worry."
The man named Zhang is the prefect of Jinqiu Mansion, and is in charge of the six counties under Jinqiu Mansion.
At that time, he was one of the officials recruited in the new era. Now he has been the prefect for more than 20 years.
"Where can the wild soul come from if it doesn't make mistakes?"
Wan Yangu rolled his eyes, "You are obviously being oblivious. Mortals, how long does it take to live? After decades of being an official, is this a matter of course? I think you are living too comfortably. Song Yin treats you like this." Tolerant, unlike us."
This time the monster is strange.
It's on the border of Jinqiu Mansion, but it's not from the Daqian side. Song Yin is because the sun shines on Daqian, so monsters and monsters can't get in. These monsters are born here.
The prefect also found out at that time whether it was a village on the border or a historical issue.
In those days when Da Qian was in Xin Ding, even though he ruled over mortals, there were always those who were in the valleys and ditches and failed to find out.
There's nothing we can do about it, the territory is now too big and there aren't enough people.
Not to mention mortals, even they all make mistakes sometimes.
Those people have not been included in the statistics before, which makes them a wild village. They are not recorded and cannot be controlled.
This village still retains the tradition of sacrifice. Every time, boys and girls are sacrificed to the mountain god to ensure that there are many prey on the mountain and they will not starve to death.
But something went wrong this time.
No matter how much they sacrificed, the prey on the mountain became less and less, so they increased the sacrifices, but there was a problem.
The people's resentment on that mountain had accumulated enough, and the souls of the people who had been sacrificed and died actually materialized and turned into resentment to cause harm to one party.
This kind of thing is done by mortals and has nothing to do with evil. Song Yin doesn't know whether he can't take care of it or doesn't want to take care of it. In short, this person has too many souls, causing more than half of the people in the village to die, and the remaining people run out of the mountains. Only then was he discovered and found out about it.
It's not that the guard station couldn't control it, but the human wild souls were too numerous and too widespread. They appeared in the entire mountain range, so they notified the capital. The capital got the news, so they also sent Wanyan Gu.
He is at the ninth level of Qi Refining. It would be easy to deal with the wild souls here. It is easy to talk about destroying the wild souls, but the prefect must be held accountable for his oversight.
However, it was not his turn to be held accountable. He was only responsible for reporting the matter. This old Zhangtou would definitely be held accountable for his oversight.
"I'm not as unbearable as you said. The responsibility does lie with me. I just accept the punishment." Magistrate Zhang sighed.
"It's good to know. Be more careful next time. I haven't found anything under your rule for so many years. You must be responsible." Wan Yangu laughed.
"Oh? It's strange that this Qi Master can talk about family and country affairs with mortals? He doesn't seem like a Western sect, not one of those who recite sutras."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.
Wan Yangu paused when he picked up the wine glass, looked in one direction, and his pupils shrank.
"Who are you?"
"Me? A peddler and a pawn. The purpose of my coming is also very simple. I want to ask about rice."
…
"Eat, eat more, don't be polite to me!"
In the main hall, Wang Qizheng walked forward with a dinner plate and shouted: "If you eat too little, you are not giving me face! This is cooked by me personally, and the taste is absolutely right!"
"Don't worry, Third Master, this tastes amazing!"
"Third Master, I am so lucky to have you cooking in person!"
"Yeah, I've heard since I was a kid that Third Master's cooking skills are unique. Today, I think it's not just a unique skill, it's unique in the world!"
A group of mortals sitting on the left and right shouted loudly.
In this group of people, there are those who wear official robes and look elegant, and there are also those who are bold and heroic. All the important civil and military positions of Daqian are here.
"You won't get to taste my cooking."
Wang Qizheng rolled his eyes, "This is just what I'm looking at. It tastes good, but there are too many people and I can't do that much. If I'm in a good mood one day, I'll hold a annual banquet to let everyone in the city know about my craftsmanship." !”
As soon as these words came out, the mortals cheered one after another, and they also exchanged cups for cups, which was very lively.
This is not something Wang Qizheng has done once before. In addition to cultivating Taoism, he cannot forget his old skills. On the contrary, because of his long life, he has more time to study them.
The study of cooking is not for specific people, it is for everyone in the world to eat.
What he likes to do most now is to choose a place in Daqian and open a restaurant there. It has been open for a year and a half, attracting local people to come to eat and decide whether to order food depending on their mood. Basically, Decide what to eat based on local produce.
In addition to opening a shop, we will also teach ordinary people some easy-to-make recipes. Because they are produced locally, every household can make them as home-cooked dishes. They are delicious and energetic, which greatly improves the living conditions of ordinary people.
"Senior brother."
Wang Qi was running through the corridor of the main hall, walking straight up, putting down the dinner plate gently, picking up the lid, revealing a bowl of rice, "Brother, the rice is ready, try my craftsmanship, this rice is not ordinary, I made it carefully , absolutely delicious.”
