When we returned to the Taoist temple, it was already dusk.

"Junior brother, you are finally back! You don't know that since I ate the rice you cooked that day, after you left, Master has no appetite for food!"

"Don't talk about Master, I've never forgotten you too! I've been looking forward to your return these past two days!"

"Junior brother, what did you buy? Did you buy flour?"

"It's a pity that the sixth junior brother has already cooked dinner tonight, otherwise we would have eaten the bed noodles cooked by the younger junior brother again!"

"Or...fall?"

"Go, go, go! Not to mention wasting food, the younger brother has been walking all day, why can't he be allowed to rest?" The sixth brother said, "I can cook almost the same amount of food!"

However, the Taoist temple is not as pure as Lin Jue imagined.

However, I was a little tired after walking all the way and climbing back. When I got here, I felt relieved.

Even the little fox relaxed, bent his upper body and stretched.

"Master, when we were purchasing in Yixian County, we encountered some strange things, and I want to report them to you." Senior Brother Seventh said, "There may be something we need you to make some decisions about."

"Say it while eating."

The table was still placed under the pine tree in the courtyard.

Dinner was cooked by Sixth Senior Brother.

It can be seen that the Sixth Brother is consciously imitating Lin Jue's method, using bacon, mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots to make soup. However, there is no flour in the soup. It is estimated that they do not know how to make pasta, so they just boil the soup and use this

A pot of soup is used to soak the sticky rice to satisfy the greedy people in the temple.

Not to mention that the rice was sticky and the soup was not right either.

The thickness of the sliced ​​bacon is the same, but it has not been fried in oil beforehand, which makes it taste less delicious. Maybe the sixth brother didn't know that the bacon needs to be soaked in water first, or maybe he didn't know how long to soak the bacon and simply stopped soaking it, or maybe it was soaked.

However, the soaking time was too short, which resulted in the meat being too salty. Although chicken fir was also used as the fungus, it was not just chicken fir, but also some miscellaneous bacteria, and the dried bamboo shoots were not soaked properly.

Because bacon itself is salty, and additional salt is added.

These are very basic and common mistakes.

If it's used to make rice, it's fine.

Lin Jue lowered his head and started eating.

Although the taste is not perfect, when these things are cooked together, it is not difficult to taste.

Much tastier than the original ones.

"It was not too late when we arrived in Yixian County yesterday and we bought some things. We happened to meet our junior brother's fellow villagers. They looked sad, as if they had encountered some kind of ghost. We went over and asked and found out that there were some thieves going on in Yixian County recently.

The monster of silver..."

The seventh senior brother explained the matter again while eating.

After speaking, he presented the remaining silver coins.

"The rat demon is right. Generally speaking, unless there are other reasons, it is difficult for demons to become spirits in groups. And a group of rats, even if they become spirits, as long as they don't want to become gods, they will take the human world for granted.

The yellow and white things are of little use, and if you want to become a god, these stolen things

It’s hard to put money to good use. At least they can’t be used on themselves. I do believe what it says. Behind it, there may be other spirits or monsters in Yi County." The seventh senior brother said to Taoist Yunhe.

, "I can't make up my mind, Master, what should I do?"

"well……"

Taoist Yunhe also frowned.

His health was getting worse and worse, and it was really embarrassing for him to worry about this.

"Nowadays, it is not convenient for us who practice spiritual law to deal with this kind of thing." Taoist Yunhe said, "Xuan Yi will inform Qi Yunshan tomorrow and ask them to report it to the gods and let the gods investigate this matter. If the county's

If people find this place again, we will go down the mountain to catch monsters."

"yes……"

The second senior brother agreed.

The Seventh Senior Brother also had no objection.

While talking, the meal was almost finished.

"I have cooked the food for the past two days, and I don't count what you have cooked, little junior brother. You have to start counting from tomorrow." Senior Brother Sixth cleared the table and fussed over Lin Jue, "And you still owe me a few days."

"nature."

Lin Jue nodded and smiled, and went to pick up things from the bamboo basket unloaded by the donkey so that he could put them where they should be.

The first thing to take out was a bottle of wine.

By chance, the third senior brother came over wiping his mouth.

"Third Senior Brother."

"how?"

"I know you love drinking. I passed by a restaurant in the city today and bought you a bottle of wine."

"Ouch! Wucheng rice wine!"

The third senior brother took the rice wine and smelled it right away.

The sweet aroma of glutinous rice is really intoxicating.

"Senior brother, you have a good nose!"

"Thank you, junior brother."

"In two days I will kill two chickens, cook some delicious dishes, and then drink this pot of wine." Lin Jue said to him, and said sincerely, "I met my senior brother's 'bean soldiers' in Xiaochuan Village that day, and I felt very

It's amazing. Senior brother, please tell me the key to this spell when you have time."

"I told you a long time ago that it's better to learn from me. If you insist on learning alchemy from the second senior brother, it will take time. Isn't my bean soldier more interesting than his?"

"possible……"

Lin Jue chatted with him for a few words and then turned around.

He continued to move all the rice, noodles, sauce, vinegar, ham, and bacon into the kitchen room. When he saw the sixth senior brother and the younger junior sister washing dishes, he also went up to help.

I was just washing when I suddenly heard a voice behind me:

"You went to Yixian County to catch mice, why didn't you call me? What I'm best at is catching mice!"

The sound was strange yet familiar, somewhat dull, and inexplicably sounded like a dog barking.

Lin Jue turned around immediately.

But he saw the thin dog standing at the door, looking up at him, his eyes moving.

"Can you talk?"

No wonder the voice is unfamiliar.

I had never heard this thin dog talk before.

No wonder it feels familiar.

Because the voices are really similar.

"I'm a Taoist dog. Of course I also know how to practice. Isn't it normal to be able to talk?"

"That's true."

Lin Jue couldn't help but nodded.

This dog is hiding deep.

Then he saw his little fox coming in. He looked up at him and asked softly and seriously: "Master, can I go to the yard to play with the cat?"

"?"

How come it can talk?

Lin Jue couldn't help being surprised.

When he turned around, he saw the sixth senior brother looking at him in surprise, while the little junior sister next to him was already reaching out to catch the moon.

Suddenly I felt a little dizzy.

Oops! The fungi are poisonous!

Fortunately, Lin Jue was practicing the method of taking food. After realizing this, he immediately meditated and concentrated, not only running the method of taking food in his body to neutralize and dissipate the poison, but also running the method of meditation in his heart to eliminate illusions.

When I opened my eyes again, everything returned to normal.

The dog in the audience just subconsciously came to the door and sat down to watch them. The little fox he raised just sat next to him obediently, raising a paw to lick it like a cat.

Only the junior sister is still catching the moon in front of the lamp.

Lin Jue walked silently, grabbed her arm, pulled her out, and found the fifth senior brother.

"Brother, the fungus is poisonous."
