The extra page on the mysterious recipe is not a recipe, but a condiment called 'Ghost Dew Fresh'.
According to the records in the mysterious recipe, ghost dew is made from the gratitude of harmless demons and ghosts. After a series of processes such as pickling, fermentation, and refining, a juice with a color like amber and an extremely delicious taste is obtained.
When cooking spiritual dishes, especially those with ghosts as the main ingredient, adding ghost dew can not only season and enhance the flavor, but also enhance the effect of the spiritual dishes.
It can be said that it has the same effect as Thirteen Incense.
And it can also be used together with Thirteen Incense to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
But at the end of the introduction of Ghost Dew Freshness, there is a paragraph: Netherworld Ghost Dew Freshness has been in the sun for one hundred and eighty days.
This made Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but frown.
"It takes 180 days to dry fresh ghost dew before it can be used? Isn't the production cycle too long?"
But soon he found a line of small words under this paragraph that was difficult to find.
What is written is: It’s okay not to have enough sun exposure.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt very embarrassed.
Why did the comment on this mysterious recipe become so naughty?
Fortunately, this is a tutorial on how to make seasonings, not a sunflower manual. Otherwise, if you did this, if people saw it after the fact, you wouldn't make them mad to death?
You have to be more careful and pay attention when reading mysterious recipes in the future.
But what makes Qin Shaoyou even more puzzled is that he just went out this early in the morning and has not yet killed the demons and ghosts. Why did he open a new page on the mysterious recipe?
"The gratitude of a harmless demon..."
Qin Shaoyou looked at this introduction on the mysterious recipe and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Did those ghosts just give it to me?"
This demon's gratitude is stored in the mysterious recipe, which looks like soy sauce. Qin Shaoyou guessed that this gratitude should be some kind of energy, like the power of will and thought.
"It should be the gratitude of those ghosts. Apart from them, no other ghosts will thank me."
Qin Shaoyou thought in his heart.
The other monsters were either killed or eaten by him.
Thank him for what? Physical transcendence? Or is the heat just right?
"but……"
Qin Shaoyou soon had new questions.
"Why didn't these ghosts come out to thank me when I was eradicating the Wu family? But it took so many days before they came out to express their gratitude to me. Is it because I happened to pass by here? Or is this gratitude not just for me? Eradicated the Wu family?"
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou suddenly remembered something and turned to Monk Ma, who followed him to visit Wubao last night, for confirmation:
"I remember last night, the night watchman in charge of Wujia Fort said that the bones of those killed by the Wu family were buried in the woods where the fog had just appeared and ghosts appeared, right?"
Monk Ma was still chanting sutras, but he stopped when he heard the question, nodded and said, "That's right."
Qin Shaoyou had a guess in his mind and immediately ordered: "Monk, go back to Wujiapu, find the night watchman in charge, and tell him that it is my order to take you to the woods just now to open the grave and conduct an autopsy."
Although Monk Ma didn't understand the purpose of doing this, he didn't ask any more questions. After accepting the order, he called two strong men to accompany him, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards Wujiabao.
Cui Youyou urged his horse to come to Qin Shaoyou and asked in a low voice: "What, is there something wrong with those ghosts just now?"
If he had just come to the Demon Suppression Division, he would definitely have pretended to laugh at Qin Shaoyou.
Even he, a proud Taoist man, didn't notice that there was something wrong with the group of ghosts just now. How could Qin Shaoyou, a vulgar martial artist, find out?
But now that he has become smarter and knows that Qin Shaoyou's perception of monsters and ghosts is extraordinary, he will naturally not give up his face to get beaten stupidly.
Qin Shaoyou glanced in the direction of the woods and replied: "There's nothing wrong with those ghosts. I'm just suspicious. They suddenly appeared. In addition to thanking us for destroying the Wu family and avenging their blood, they also wanted to tell us something. …Or maybe you want to ask us for a favor.”
Cui Youyou was stunned when he heard this: "Help? What help?"
Qin Shaoyou kept it secret and did not tell his guess. He just said: "We will know when the monk comes back."
Seeing that Cui Youying wanted to ask, he added, "Okay, Senior Brother Cui, you'd better take your people and go with the team to protect him."
Cui You was guilty and dissatisfied, but he had nothing to do with Qin Shaoyou, so he could only mutter and leave.
At this time, An Ziling, who was sitting on the carriage with his younger brother, leaned against the window and asked, "Uncle, are those people just now... ghosts?"
Qin Shaoyou looked back at her and said with a smile: "Yeah, you haven't seen a ghost before, right? How about it, are you afraid?"
"Not afraid." An Ziling shook her head, "Because I don't think they look like bad people...well, bad ghosts."
Qin Shaoyou laughed dumbly, and then reminded him sternly: "Whether it's a human or a ghost, they all know what they look like but don't know what they're thinking. Whether they're bad or not can't be determined by their appearance."
"Oh." An Ziling nodded, seeming to understand, thoughtfully.
Children on several other carriages were also whispering among themselves.
Because of their special experience, they were not afraid of the ghost group that just appeared, but were actually very interested in it.
That is to say, the team is still moving forward, otherwise these children would have got off the car and ran into the woods to look for ghosts.
Soon, an hour passed.
There was a shout from behind the team. Qin Shaoyou and others turned around to see, but it was Monk Ma and the other three people who rushed up quickly.
When Monk Ma returned to the team, before Qin Shaoyou spoke, Cui Youying couldn't wait to ask: "How are you, Monk? Did you find anything?"
Monk Ma reined in his horse and said breathlessly: "We have found something. After we dug up the grave, we found names and birthplaces on the bones. Every bone has it on it, big or small. When I left, the Wu family The night watchmen and government officials of the fort are restoring the bones based on the names and places of origin. At the same time, there are many people waiting there, wanting to take away the remains of their relatives."
After listening to Monk Ma's words, An Mutong and Fifth Sister were amazed: "So, the appearance of those ghosts just now is not only to thank you for helping them avenge themselves, but also to ask you to help them recover their bones. So that they can find their relatives and be brought back to their hometown for burial?”
The night watchmen in the team nodded one after another, thinking that this should be the case.
Shan Daonian asked Cui Yougui: "Old Taoist, why do the names and place of origin of the deceased suddenly appear on these bones?"
Cui Yougui didn't know the reason, so he could only guess: "Maybe it was carved on their bones when they returned from the netherworld to the human world just now, right?"
Shan Daonian teased and joked again: "Old Taoist, haven't you always boasted about your superb Taoist skills? Why didn't you notice the intentions of those ghosts this time?"
"I..." Cui Youwei blushed and tried to find an excuse, but couldn't find one. He could only raise his hand and point at the horse monk: "Didn't the monk notice it too?"
"A monk originally became a monk on the way, and later returned to secular life, which is different from you."
Cui Youying couldn't find an excuse, so he hesitated and said some words that were incomprehensible, filling the team with a cheerful atmosphere.
This small episode had no impact on the team's progress.
On the subsequent journey, Qin Shaoyou and the others passed through the villages where tigers had been troubled before.
But this time, they did not go to these villages to stay overnight.
But Qin Shaoyou still sent people to inquire about the current situation of these villages.
According to the report of the night watchman who inquired about the information, after the tigers were eliminated, the people in these villages not only did not spread the news to the outside world, but instead sealed the place tightly and continued to spread the news to passing caravan passers-by that there were monsters in the mountains. .
They even went to the local government office and the Demon Suppression Department to report the case again, requesting that troops be sent to exterminate the demons.
Although no soldiers were sent, the Demon Suppression Department sent a night watchman into the mountain to investigate.
Naturally, the whereabouts of the tiger was not found.
"Of course you can't find it. The tigers are all dead. It would be strange to find them." Liao Yaosuo said, then paused and said: "But the people in these villages are quite smart. They actually know that the tigers are here. , I’m afraid the tax collectors won’t dare to go to their villages to collect taxes easily.”
Qin Shaoyou nodded and did not make any further comments. He just sighed: "I just hope they know their limits and have a bottom line. If they don't be smart, they will be misled by their cleverness."
Also on this afternoon, the team entered Mianyuan County.
However, what they saw when they entered Mianyuan County made everyone frown.
