The two little minks appeared in front of Qi Wen without any concern, and showed their backs to Qi Wen while paying main attention to the water tank, which showed that they were already familiar with the people in Yunshan Temple.
There are also fish in the streams in Yunshan, but the largest fish there is only as long as a palm and is very thin. The two little minks are "giants" to those fish.
But now, the heads of the three fish in the water tank were abnormally large, just like huge monsters in the water. The two little minks were stunned and vaguely remembered that they had taken away half of a big fish outside the Taoist temple.
"Be careful, don't fall in, or you may end up eating someone else!"
Taoist Qingsong gave the two little minks some instructions and then hurried out of the kitchen. After all, the guests were still outside.
Seeing Qi Xuan and Qi Wen coming out one after another, Ji Yuan looked at the little mink in the direction of the kitchen water tank and asked with a smile.
"Have you become familiar with these two little guys?"
Qin Zizhou stroked his beard and said.
"Yes, the two little martens have already developed their intelligence and have a heart for Taoism. After I explained it to them, it was naturally easy for me to let them enter Yunshan Temple to practice. After they refine their horizontal bones, they can be considered disciples of Yunshan Temple."
Old Dragon looked at the two little minks and knew that the opportunity for their cultivation was a simple conversation on Taoism between him and Ji Yuan in Yunshan Temple.
"They are so lucky. How many of the cultivators in the world can compare to these two gray martens? If they still don't have the heart to pursue the Tao, they really deserve to be struck by lightning!"
The old dragon's words were suggestive. Qi Xuan and Qi Wen just thought that it was rare to become an immortal. Qin Zizhou could understand some of it but not thoroughly. Only Ji Yuan knew what the old dragon meant.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Ji, Mr. Yin, Mr. Qin, how do you plan to eat this fish?"
Ji Yuan had been suffering from gluttony since he was in Daliang Temple. When he heard Taoist Qingsong's question, he couldn't help but think of the fish head he had made in the past, which had a salty, spicy taste when combined with the ingredients from the mountains.
"That's naturally the Taoist's secret recipe for making fish heads. I specifically asked Tongtianjiang Yaksha to find these three big fish in the river. The fish heads are cut in half, and all the essence is inside!"
Now that Qi Xuan and Qi Wen have started practicing, they don’t need to be too shy about some supernatural things in front of them.
"Pah~"
Taoist Qingsong clapped his hands and felt relieved when he heard that it was his specialty. He was really afraid of asking for dishes from a famous restaurant, so he said it out loud.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ji. The kitchen is well stocked with ingredients. I guarantee you will eat until you are sweating and can't stop!"
"Hahaha, okay, okay, Taoist priest, go and get ready!"
Taoist Qingsong nodded repeatedly and called out to Qi Wen.
"Qi Wen, kill the fish!"
"okay!"
Ji Yuan, Lao Long and others did not need any special hospitality from Qi Wen and Qi Xuan, so they dragged out some stools and a small table in the temple.
The tea leaves on the table were picked, dried and roasted by two Taoists in the mountains, and the water was freshly boiled from a mountain spring, but there were no dried fruits or cakes.
"I should have brought some snacks from Tongtian River Water Palace. After all, we are practitioners with some experience, but we don't even have a melon seed!"
Ji Yuan sighed, and Lao Long was also amused by his appearance.
"Who told you to come here in such a hurry?"
Qin Zizhou picked up the teacup and gently blew away the tea foam and hot steam on it, then took a sip of hot tea.
"Our Yunshan Temple is not a popular place. Few people come here to worship all year round. Even if someone comes here out of curiosity, he will see that there are no statues or big tripods, no wishing pools or bronze bells in the temple. He only worships the heavens and the earth and the stars. You want him to pray for children, wealth, and marriage? Forget it. He probably won't come next time, so those exquisite cakes will never be served in our temple!"
Ji Yuan thought about it and suddenly smiled.
"Hey, Ji has another change!"
As he spoke, he took out a package of something wrapped in dry leaves from his sleeve, and then carefully unwrapped it bit by bit, revealing a bunch of shriveled reddish-purple objects inside.
“Wolfberry?”
Qin Zizhou had been practicing medicine for nearly a hundred years in his previous life, so of course he recognized what it was at a glance and told Lao Long what it was while he was still wondering.
"Yes, Lord Qin has a keen eye. It is a handful of top-quality wild wolfberries!"
Ji Yuan picked up a pill and put it in his mouth to chew. It tasted sweet with a slight sour taste. Then he reached out and took it.
"You two, please enjoy!"
This was given to me by Lu Shanjun. I didn't expect it would serve as a snack.
The so-called leisurely mood is all about a state of mind. No matter who you are with, even Lao Long, in such an atmosphere, a cup of coarse tea and a handful of wolfberries will feel very meaningful.
The three of them drank tea and chatted, still talking about the things in Yunshan Temple. This time, Lao Long was there, and what Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou had talked about last time was also mentioned in passing. Finally, they got to the key point and said that the fundamental method of cultivation in Yunshan Temple had been mostly mastered.
"So, Mr. Ji's 'Mysterious Law of Heaven and Earth' has already been finalized?"
Ji Yuan nodded, took out the scroll, unfolded it a little and placed it on the table, just enough to see the four words "Heaven and Earth Transformation".
“It’s been a bit bumpy, but the first half of ‘The Creation of Heaven and Earth’ is complete.”
"This is not just a few twists and turns. This book is envied by heaven and is of great importance."
Lao Long couldn't help but say something, and at the same time pointed to the sky. Qin Zizhou nodded solemnly, and then said.
"In this case, this method cannot be passed on lightly. Even if there are more monks in Yunshan Monastery in the future, even if the number is small, there may always be times when you know a person's face but not his heart!"
"Haha, that's the truth, but it may not be the case. Lord Qin, you will know after reading this book once!"
Lao Long also shook his head and stroked his beard, smiling meaningfully. He thought that it was no wonder that Ji Yuan liked to pretend to be deep sometimes, this feeling was really good.
Qin Zizhou did not suspect anything and took the scroll from the table and began to read it.
At this moment, Lao Long looked at Qin Zizhou from the perspective of a bystander, and suddenly found something different. When he was reading a book, there was actually a faint light mist filling the surroundings. He did not notice this when he was reading the scroll himself, perhaps because he was too engrossed.
After a long time, Qin Zizhou let out a sigh and nodded.
"Sure enough, Mr. Ji's wonderful method is very thoughtful!"
From the kitchen of Yunshan Temple, there were sounds of food being put into pots and boiling oil, and the aroma of spicy food was gradually spreading.
"The ingredients and method of making the secret fish head recipe of Taoist Qingsong must also be passed down. It is also a treasure of Yunshan Temple!"
"Yes, yes, it's also a treasure of Yunshan Temple!"
“Hahahahahaha…”
The three of them burst into laughter at the same time. Even Lao Long, who had been alone at home before, felt extremely happy at this moment.
In the kitchen of the Taoist temple, Taoist Qingsong was also happy when he heard the hearty laughter outside.
"Master, Mr. Ji and the others seem very happy. What are they laughing at?"
"It's definitely a good thing anyway. Oh, and make the fire stronger. The fish head is too big. If the fire is not strong enough, it might end up being half-cooked!"
"Master, don't worry!"
As Qi Wen made this assurance, he broke the branches in his hand and put them into the stove in layers. He also picked up a small mink that came too close and threw it away.
"Don't look into the stove, or you'll get your hair burned!"
"Squeak..."
The gray mink barked twice in dissatisfaction, then ran out of the kitchen and out of the Taoist temple gate.
…
In the evening, a large table for eight people was brought out in the courtyard of Yunshan Temple. In addition to some vegetarian dishes grown by Yunshan Temple itself, the table was filled with the big pot.
Because the three fish heads were too big, weighing dozens of kilograms in total, it was a bit difficult to even put them in this big pot that could cook for more than a dozen people. It was really a skill for Taoist Qingsong to cook them well, and it consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.
The aroma from the pot filled the Yunshan Temple. Ji Yuan, Ying Hong and Qin Zizhou were sitting on three sides of the table, while Taoist Qingsong and Taoist Qingyuan were sitting side by side on the remaining side. Two little gray martens were sitting a little further away, carrying two plates filled with fresh scaled fish meat.
Because there was a whole pot of fish head with lotus seeds and soup in the big iron pot, it had a strong ability to keep heat. Everyone ate happily. Ji Yuan also brought out the fine wine in the white jade thousand-bucket pot for everyone to enjoy. Even the two little minks were poured a small cup, but after drinking it, the two little guys just lay down.
This scene reminded Taoist Qingsong of the time when Mr. Ji got him drunk without any explanation.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, most of the whole pot of fish heads was eaten by several people. Qi Xuan and Qi Wen had already eaten so much that they could only rub their stomachs, while Ji Yuan and the other two were still eating and would scoop a bowl of soup with a spoon from time to time.
Seeing that Qi Xuan and Qi Wen could only watch, Ji Yuan also said with a smile.
"This is another benefit of cultivating immortality. I won't feel full after eating just a little bit of delicious food. Haha!"
After clearing all the food on the table and drinking a few more glasses of wine, Ji Yuan once again took out "The Creation of Heaven and Earth" from his sleeve and handed it to Taoist Qingsong.
"Master Qingsong, this is the 'Transformation of Heaven and Earth' that I derived, which is the first half of the 'Wonderful Law of Heaven and Earth'. This law is extremely profound. Wangyun Mountain Temple cherishes this law, and it may be prudent to find a successor. Of course, there is no need to be too restrained, as long as it conforms to the original Taoist meaning of Wangyun Mountain Temple."
Taoist Qingsong straightened his body, endured the bloating in his stomach, and solemnly took the scroll with both hands, looking like he wanted to open it but didn't dare to open it right away.
"Look if you want. This thing will be the foundation of Yunshan Temple's cultivation in the future. No need to be so polite."
Ji Yuan saw through his thoughts and said this.
"Why!"
After Qi Xuan responded, he couldn't wait to unfold it. Qi Wen also came over to take a look, but when they looked at it, it was as if they were frozen. Their eyes were sucked into the scroll and their figures became a little hazy and dazed.
"Oh, I didn't realize these two Taoists have some talent!"
Lao Long couldn't help but said something with a hint of surprise, while Qin Zizhou stroked his beard and smiled.
"Mr. Ji specifically created this based on the Taoist method of meditation. If these two people don't have this level of understanding, then Mr. Ji's efforts would have been in vain!"
"Um!"
Lao Long also nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Fortunately, this time the two Taoists did not sit for several days to observe the Dharma. Only a quarter of an hour had passed when they woke up. However, their dazed and surprised expressions fully demonstrated the shock they had suffered during this process.
After Qi Wen came back to his senses, he couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Ji, are all immortal cultivation methods so magical? Is our "Heaven and Earth Transformation" considered powerful among all the immortal cultivation methods?"
"Well... other people's..."
Ji Yuan was a little bit unsure about the answer. Although he was very confident in his "Wonderful Law of Heaven and Earth", he had not seen many other people's laws. He couldn't just compare it with "Jade Huai Xiao Lian".
"Hehe..."
The old dragon snorted and squinted at the scroll in Qi Xuan's hand.
"Mr. Ji, don't brag about yourself. Let me tell you, when this method was first created, even the sky wanted to take it away!"
No exaggeration, the description is apt!
