Yu Wan's eyes were clear, bright and piercing, and she kept staring at He Peng who lowered his head.
Heng Ha on the side was suppressed by Yu Wan with one hand and struggled to move away. He had to use his screams to help her and threaten the old man.
He Peng naturally felt such a burning gaze. He originally wanted to avoid this topic, but now he knew he couldn't avoid it.
He sighed deeply, then raised his head, looking at Yu Wan's cloudy eyes filled with exhaustion.
"The ancient demon god's cave has been passed down for a long time. Although it is explored by the demon clan every hundred years, the demon cultivators who go there will gain something every time."
"Perhaps this calamity is destined to happen. As soon as I entered, I found myself in a dark place. There were twelve stone tablets there, one of which talked about something related to this."
He Peng stopped when he said this. His old face was wrinkled and squeezed together. His lips were mumbling and seemed to be unable to open, as if he was hesitating to speak.
Yu Wan was not in a hurry when he saw this. Hearing He Peng's story, he knew that he was timid, and he didn't know how he survived in the clan and reached the realm of ascension.
This temperament reminded her of He Yun. Although he was a little more cunning, he had the same tendency to be weak. Could it be that all the demon cultivators of the Baihe clan have this temperament?
Seeing He Peng's troubled expression, Yu Wan cursed in his heart. He suddenly thought of the yellow apricots given by He Yun, and thought that He Peng might be more likely to speak if he tasted the local flavor and stirred up emotions.
She didn't think too much about whether the two of them were of the same race. I just thought of giving it a try. After all, the other party is also holding me back. No matter whether I eat or not, the situation cannot get worse.
Of course, Yu Wan didn't admit that it was also the reason why she was greedy.
She stood up and took a step or two back, placing a low table between the two of them, along with several spiritual foods and a pot of spiritual wine.
These spiritual foods were made in the day before the operation. They were new inspirations that emerged after having the mutton. I originally wanted to go back and eat them after the night expedition. Who would have thought that I would encounter such things as soon as I entered the dark carpet.
There are five dishes of spiritual food on the square table, and exactly two of them are seasoned with yellow apricots, which are sweet and sour. The other three dishes are spicy and salty, which are quite local characteristics of Xianghu City.
Lingjiu is apricot wine brewed based on Lingmi rice. It has a clear and mellow aroma, with some sourness unique to the fruit. It is not very strong and has a sweet and sour taste. It goes well with spicy dishes to relieve the spiciness and relieve greasiness.
Although he knew He Peng's character, Yu Wan did not fully trust him. She mentally apologized to Hu Fuwei in the spirit beast bag, settled the humming part, then sat upright and looked at He Peng.
"Senior He, since we are not in a hurry, let's talk while eating." Yu Wan raised her hand to invite He Peng, looking at him with clear eyes, without any dissatisfaction.
"I..." I thought the girl was sarcastically saying that she didn't have much time left in her previous sentence. He Peng was about to raise his head to refute, but was attracted by a familiar smell and his eyes turned directly to the square table.
This...is this Huang Xing?
Without waiting for confirmation, He Peng made a growl in his throat, obviously already greedy.
When I saw them in the evening, I introduced them to him one by one, "This is braised apricot lamb, this is apricot balls in sugar water, there are roasted lamb, dry pot lamb chops and this red oil tripe meat."
After saying that, he picked up two glasses of spiritual wine and handed one to He Peng, "This is apricot wine, the concentration is not high, senior, try it."
He Peng took it without saying a word and drank it in one gulp. He Peng sipped his mouth and savored the taste in his memory, "I haven't tasted the taste of this fruit in many years."
After sighing, He Peng poured himself another glass, then picked up his chopsticks and tasted the spiritual food on the table.
The mutton is stewed until it is soft and delicious. The dried apricots are added to the stew, adding a hint of sweet and sour, adding a bright color to the originally monotonous salty and delicious mutton.
The apricot balls in sugar water are cold in the mouth. I think they must have been chilled. They are sweet in the mouth. The unique sourness of the apricot meat is hidden in it. Even after a few sips, it does not feel sweet, but refreshing.
"You are indeed destined to be a member of our Crane Clan." He Peng said a word without saying anything, swallowed a glass of apricot wine, and continued to eat.
The lamb was tender and sizzling with oil. He didn't know what was sprinkled on it. He just took one bite and thought about the next one. It was so delicious that he wanted to devour his tongue.
The meat on the lamb chops is close to the bone, and you can only get a little shredded meat when you bite it. Although there was little meat in the mouth, the taste was extremely rich, salty and sweet with a hint of sweetness, and then the hot taste swept over the lips and tongue, which really made the crane unable to stop.
"Hiss~"
After just swallowing a few glasses of apricot wine and eating a few slices of cold sugar-watered apricot meat, He Peng looked at the red sheep tripe that was finally soaked and couldn't help but breathe in a low voice.
But perhaps no one, including He, could escape the influence of the spicy taste. Although he was afraid of the red oil outside the sheep's belly, he still swallowed involuntarily and then raised his chopsticks forward.
I thought I needed to cut open the sheep's belly myself, but who would have thought that something was wrong as soon as the tip of the chopsticks touched it.
He saw that after the originally round and plump lamb tripe was touched by his chopsticks, the tip of the lamb tripe instantly turned into filaments. He Peng continued to move forward with his chopsticks, the tip of the chopsticks penetrated the lamb belly, and then pinched it , the red-oiled sheep tripe shreds and the shiny brown stuffing inside quickly flew into his mouth.
What I wanted from the belly silk was that it was chewy and refreshing, so Yu Wan didn’t cut it as thin as a hair, just to make it easier to taste and chew.
The three fresh rice is wrapped in the sheep's belly. The diced bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and dried shrimps are stir-fried with the rice and simmered for a while. Then, they are wrapped in the sheep's belly while it is still hot. Continue to simmer for 3 hours, then remove from the pot and cut into pieces. Just wire.
The preparation of this dish is not difficult. The difficulty is to cut the lamb tripe into shreds before serving without damaging the shape, while retaining a thin layer of tripe meat on the inside to wrap the aroma of the filling. This requires strong knife skills and more Subtle psychic control.
Yu Wan also achieved the result she wanted after practicing many times. Currently, the red-oiled belly pork belly has reached level 9, which is the highest-level dish she can make.
Based on this, she even realized a sword technique called Thousand Silk Net, which turns the belly silk into a blade, and replaces the thin layer of belly flesh with the sword force, trapping the opponent in the space of the sword force, and then using thousands of Kill the opponent with the blade.
He Peng took several bites and was still unsatisfied. Yu Wan also moved his chopsticks and started eating the lamb tripe.
The thin layer of belly meat used for wrapping can be destroyed by a light touch, unlike her knife, which is difficult to break through the space. Although it cannot be maintained for too long now, it is enough to trap monks of the same level to death.
Feeling the soft, waxy, salty and chewy flavor of the tongue, Yu Wan threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind, squinted his eyes slightly, and began to concentrate on enjoying the food.
Perhaps what Hepeng said was true. This meal was the fastest Yu Wan had ever eaten. It only took less than half a moment to finish all the spiritual food on the table.
After eating, He Peng leaned comfortably against the mountain wall and slowly drank the last glass of apricot wine in his hand. The feeling he exuded at this time was as if he would never drink again, which he cherished very much.
After drinking, he placed the round-bellied sapphire wine glass on the table, waved his sleeves and put away everything, and continued to look at He Peng calmly as before.
But at this time, Heng Ha was still working hard, but he no longer kept threatening He Peng.
"Perhaps it's because of the age that most of those stone tablets are in dilapidated condition." He Peng stared blankly at the sky above his head, recalling the past.
"I have read every stone stele, but I can only recognize the words on the stone stele that says alien. For the other words, I don't know which ethnic groups use the words." He Peng shook his head and continued, "Can't you see? Understand."
"Senior, what exactly is written on that stone tablet?" At this time, Yu Wan felt He Peng's sense of decadence and became anxious.
"I don't know the origins of these extraterrestrial demons. I only know that these demons are called light demons. In order to get this side of Heaven to recognize themselves, they did not hesitate to double cultivate with the local monks, hoping to use the power of their descendants to replace the local monks. "
After the words fell, He Peng looked at Yu Wan, "As you can see, we were born and raised here, and heaven never excludes us."
Looking at each other at this moment, Yu Wan felt the endless sadness in He Peng's eyes. However, this feeling of sympathy and sympathy did not pass to her. She continued to ask, "Since there are alien creatures invading, how can the high-ranking people in this world be invaded?" Senior monks will definitely not stand idly by, since seniors have reached the realm of ascension, why should they be afraid of this."
He Peng shook his head and said, "That's not the case. In fact, there are no light demons in the Waling world we live in. The ones that exist are just us aliens."
"What about the fairy world?" Yu Wan asked.
"I don't know, how can I know before I ascend?" After a pause, He Peng continued, "But the elders and king of my clan may know."
Halfway through his words, He Peng suddenly changed the topic, "Do you know the meaning of the existence of this place?"
Hearing this question, Yu Wan fell into deep thought. After a moment, he spoke out, "The Sheep Clan is here because of the curse in their blood, so they capture ordinary monks as vessels. But their purpose of capturing aliens is not I don’t know…”
"They really don't need aliens, but just because they don't need them doesn't mean others don't need them."
"You mean..."
"According to the information I have collected, light demons are not humanoid. They are born as a ball of light."
"Light?"
"Yes, a ball of extremely dazzling but temperatureless white light." He Peng said and sat upright. "Girl, please have some more wine. What follows is too terrifying and makes me feel brave."
Seeing He Peng's face turning pale, Yu Wan took out a jar and handed it over.
"Girl, you are still stingy." He Peng sighed and took it at the same time, and drank two big mouthfuls of it.
"I don't know when it started. There is a saying among high-level monks that the path to the immortal world has been cut off. No immortal has ascended to the throne of God in the past hundred million years."
"They say that God Nuwa, who created this continent and life, has abandoned us long ago and went to find other realms to cultivate. Some also say that God Nuwa has died and the fairy world will not exist for long."
"There are many similar rumors. And along with it, there is another rumor." He Peng paused and took three sips of wine. "They said that the outsiders are actually gods from other realms. They come here to It’s to help us become gods.”
After saying that, He Peng immediately sneered, "I don't believe this. Grandma, she hasn't become an immortal yet, and she already wants to be a god."
"But it's a pity that there are still many monks in the Waling world who believe this. Most of them have ancestors in the fairy world, and they all rely on the news passed down by their ancestors to deduce and decide to take the risk."
"I was lucky enough to catch a monk who came from one of these families during the middle stage of my incarnation, and I also learned more detailed information from his mouth."
"I heard them say that the light of outsiders in this area is divine light. As long as you possess their divine light and cover your whole body with divine light, you will be able to become a god within a short time."
Hearing this, Yu Wan couldn't help but shudder, "Could it be that they catch aliens just to become gods?"
"That's right, I heard from that person that their ancestors passed down the message that the sooner they cultivate the black glue crystals in the alien body, the greater the chance of successfully cultivating the divine light."
He Peng spat as he spoke, "It's simply idiotic talk. If it's really like what they say, I'm a pure alien who has already ascended. Why can't I see the divine light of Lao Shizi?"
Xu was too angry. After speaking, He Peng coughed violently and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Because of this, they captured so many people, demons and even ghost cultivators, all thinking of reaching the sky in one step." He Peng leaned weakly against the mountain wall and laughed.
"Girl, it's useless. The Infant God has been destroyed. If I hadn't waited for you, I would have died long ago." He Peng raised his hand to reject Yu Wan's elixir.
When Yu Wan saw this, she didn't force it. She could feel the aura of Hepeng's rapid decline, and knew that the pill in her hand alone had no power to turn things around.
"Girl, I don't have anything for you." He Peng looked up at the sky helplessly, "After being captured, all my things were taken away by Gao Ying. Among them was a pair of wind and thunder wings, which were refined from Kunpeng feathers. The flying magic weapon has been completed, if the opportunity comes in the future, you can find a way to get it back."
"I will pass on the driving formula to you. Without this formula, the old sheep will probably just treat it like a piece of junk, and he will definitely be very angry. Hahaha...ahem..."
"I wanted to give you the remaining Kunpeng essence and blood, but I didn't know that my body is too weak and I have already spent the remaining 30% of my essence and blood on protecting my only remaining body and soul..."
"The golden shuttle is also a good thing, but too much was spent on opening the tunnel that time, and it was downgraded to an ordinary magic weapon... In order to drive the ghost cultivator out without any effort, I had to give it to him and let him help with the acting. It’s a show, I tricked you into coming here.”
"But that thing won't last long." At this point, He Peng smiled as if he had pulled off a successful prank.
"Girl, although I am a good-luck good-for-nothing in the eyes of my tribe and have done nothing in my life, I still want to give you a few words as your elder..."
"Practice well, remember who you were when you came, and never forget it no matter where you go. Only by not losing your true heart can you ascend and seek the opportunity to become a god."
"Girl, thank you so much."
As soon as the words fell, He Peng's aura dissipated, his robe instantly flattened, and his body dissipated into the space.
Yu Wan just sat there quietly, looking at He Peng who was no longer there, and shed a tear for a long time.
"Hum hum!"
"Haha, hahaha!"
Heng Ha beside him had already raised his head from eating and drinking, rubbing the back of Yu Wan's hand from time to time.
However, it didn't mean that he had calmed down. The space suddenly shook violently, and soon countless gravel fell from the top of his head.
Oops, once Mr. He leaves, this place will lose its spiritual protection and may collapse soon.
When Yu Wan came back to her senses, the colorless flames popped up from her fingertips and burned He Peng's robe clean. She picked up Heng Ha, cleaned up all the traces in the space, then directly used the Thunder Escape and ran towards the outside world.
