Although Ji Yuan has never defined himself in a lofty way, no matter what, he has now truly become one with the Tao. He can cook a simple dish as well as any of the best chefs in the world, not to mention that the ingredients he uses are also very luxurious.
The fish that Lao Long brought was supplemented with other ingredients from Xiaoge. After the food was ready, a white jade basin slightly smaller than the small stone table was filled with fish stewed with winter mustard greens. A pot of rice was also steamed, and then several people gathered in the yard to eat.
"How does it taste? Is Ji's cooking skill not rusty?"
Ji Yuan stretched his hands and feet and was the last one to pick up the bowl and chopsticks. In the small courtyard filled with fragrance, everyone seemed to be quite satisfied.
“It’s salty, fresh and sweet, it’s really top-notch!”
Lao Long took the bowl and tasted the food, praising Ji Yuan's cooking skills.
Hu Yun on the side had no time to say anything. He was eating rice with winter mustard greens and fish frantically. His cheeks were bulging. It was not easy to eat such a meal. He had to eat more as he had to wait for a thousand years. He mumbled "delicious".
Lu Shanjun was holding the bowl and picking up the food. Although he looked polite on the outside, he was very excited in his heart. He felt very happy while chewing. This was the first time he ate the food cooked by his master.
"Master, this is the best dish I've ever tasted!"
"Mrs. Zao also thinks it's delicious!"
Zao Niang was the most polite when eating with the bowl in her hand, her eyes almost squinting.
“Haha, that’s good!”
Ji Yuan felt satisfied and started eating quickly.
However, not long after eating, Hu Yun, who was about to serve another serving of rice, was suddenly stunned. Then the veins on his head jumped. He quickly put down the bowl and rushed to the door. The person had already opened the door and ran out quickly, and the sound was only heard from afar.
"I'll be back soon, leave some for me!"
Hu Yun chewed the food in his mouth quickly and walked quickly, feeling very annoyed. What happened? Why did it have to happen at this time
Within a few breaths, Hu Yun appeared outside the Sun family's residence. He took a look in the direction of the Sun family and saw that the lights were on in their house. The atmosphere seemed normal, and he could also hear the sound of Sun family members talking and laughing.
Hu Yun took a few steps and came to a pile of firewood behind a house. He reached out to push the rice grains from the corner of his mouth into his mouth, and at the same time frowned as he looked behind the firewood pile, where a big yellow dog was lying and resting.
This dog is not only very intelligent, but also has been cast under a spell by Hu Yun, giving it extraordinary perception abilities. It immediately opened its eyes and stood up after Hu Yun appeared.
Hu Yun squatted down, stretched out his hand and patted the big yellow dog. The dog whined a few times and seemed very happy.
"Is this an illusion?"
Hu Yun touched the dog's head, then stood up with a slight frown, jumped lightly into the Sun family's yard, walked around the Sun family, did not find anything special, and finally walked to the Sun family's ancestral hall.
Gently pushing open the door, a lingering scent of incense wafted out. Hu Yun walked straight in, his eyes swept across several tablets, stopping on two large tablets.
'Someone has been here!'
Hu Yun narrowed his eyes. He didn't smell any scent, nor did he calculate anything, but he had a rare spiritual sense of telepathy. It just seemed like he had come here in vain
Hu Yun was not in a hurry to leave. He sat cross-legged in the ancestral hall with his eyes closed, concentrating. After a while, he opened his eyes, but still found nothing. He couldn't help but feel confused. It seemed more likely that some master was passing by and found that the Sun family was extraordinary, so he came closer to take a look and then left
After waiting for a while and calculating again and again whether the Sun family was safe, Hu Yun decided to go back to eat first. After all, the fish in the pot looked like a lot, but it was really too much to eat.
... ...
In an inn not far from Tianniufang, the scholar named Hong who was lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes, thinking to himself that he was worthy of being the fox fairy who had heard about it from Mr. Ji and Wensheng. His spiritual perception was indeed very sharp and he was almost discovered.
The scholar felt that he had been extremely careful, even foolproof, but he was still discovered by the fox fairy. The fox fairy was indeed extraordinary with the Sun family.
'So that means that She Ji's approach to Sun Yi Qiu must have been allowed by the fox fairy, otherwise she would never have developed feelings for him! In other words, when the thunder fell on Jiaoye Mountain, the fox fairy was not protecting some mountain god who had a past relationship with the sect, but She Ji! '
The scholar's eyes flickered slightly, and his thoughts kept turning.
'So is she aware of my existence? If it comes to this, if I were in her place, I would definitely explain the matter. In other words, the fox fairy knows of my existence! Then, taking a step back, has she always arranged for the Sun family, or has she only done so recently? I'm afraid it's only recently, and the target is naturally not She Ji... '
The scholar turned over in bed, grasped the quilt with his right hand slightly, and narrowed his eyes.
'Although this fox fairy is troublesome, it is not difficult to deal with. But behind her is the white deer and the real dragon in the sea. Even if there is no Mr. Ji, the dragon clan has a distant relationship with her, but it is rumored that the white deer is a disciple of Mr. Ji, which can be regarded as a disciple of the fox. They will definitely not sit idly by. I wonder if the white deer knows about it? And the tablet in the Sun family ancestral hall is not simple either... '
The scholar recalled what he had just seen. As soon as he saw the "Tablet of Heaven and Earth", he felt it was extraordinary. There are many people in this world who respect Heaven and Earth, but it is definitely unusual for ordinary people's homes to make a tablet specifically to worship Heaven and Earth.
As the scholar thought about it, he felt a slight headache and couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, what a trouble..."
But after a sigh, the scholar's eyes revealed a hint of excitement. Although many arrangements were aimed at him and were very tricky, when he thought about who he was facing, he trembled slightly in his heart. This was not fear, but excitement.
That being is the one who inherited the ancient immortal way thousands of years ago. What kind of Taoism and methods does he have? And how much inheritance did they get from that immortal
'I may not have attained enlightenment in the same era as Mr. Ji, but if I could fight and kill his successor, I would be able to appreciate his style, or even defeat him a little!'
The scholar's face could no longer remain calm, and an extremely excited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"If you want to deal with me, then let me fight you. Sheji, don't think you can rest easy!"
... ...
A dark sea of clouds appeared in the heaven. In the pavilion, the main body of Mi Huang, who was attending the ceremony, was holding a wine glass. His body was trembling slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. He seemed a little excited. Then he picked up the glass and drank the wine in it.
That scholar Hong was Mi Huang, and the one in heaven at this moment was also Mi Huang. They were similar to incarnations but different, blurring the distinction between the original body and the incarnation's levels. Although they were far apart and Mi Huang in heaven could not know everything that happened, he could feel the strong excitement and anticipation, which made him unable to control himself.
"My dear brother, although the man's sermon just now was somewhat interesting, it shouldn't be so exciting, right?"
"Hahahaha, I just suddenly feel excited and can't help myself! How many times in life can you encounter something that can make you so excited? It's not easy!"
Everyone else laughed when they heard it.
"Brother Mi Huang's cultivation has gradually reached the highest level, and his life span is unpredictable. Why do you say that?"
"Drink, drink!" "Hahaha, yes, yes, I heard that the fairy Gu Yu will dance in the sea of clouds soon, and her dancing style is famous throughout the three realms. I would rather watch it up close than through projection. Are there any of you who would like to go with me?"
"Of course we'll go together!" "Count me in!"
"And me, hahahaha..."
"You go first, I'll come later!"
Others left the table one after another. After staying for a while, Mi Huang stood up with a big laugh, holding a jade fox in his hand, and walked away stepping on the clouds with a little tipsiness. At this moment, he was so excited that the suppressed arrogance came out in a low voice like a song while he drank and walked on the clouds.
“Carrying a pot and stepping on the clouds, I will meet the immortal. I am one-third tipsy and one-third crazy. The sea of clouds is rolling up the world. I am the only immortal in my drunken dream! Ahahahahahahahaha…”
Not many people heard the poem, but the wild laughter shook the surrounding sea of clouds and was heard by many practitioners of various sects passing by, attracting many glances. Some people speculated who the other person was, while others sensed the arrogance in the laughter and secretly praised him for his high aspirations.
