"Chef, I think you have a big head and a thick neck, and you are the best candidate for treasure hunting in the west. I will give you this VIP meal ticket, and the important task of escorting me to the Western Yi Continent to find the key will fall on you." Already!"
"roll."
It is also a skill to make the always humble and polite Chef Misty Peak utter such straightforward words. The spirit sword cultivators who occasionally passed by Misty Peak in the past two days, most often saw Wang Lu enter the cafeteria with a face full of interest, and then returned a while later. It's been a joke for days.
Wang Lu's reputation is quite resounding on Lingjian Mountain. It has only been thirteen years since he entered the school, and he already has the cultivation base of the middle-grade Void Core, and his actual combat ability is even at the Golden Core level, far surpassing the monks of the same generation. Many seniors who have been cultivating immortals for 20 or 30 years will be dumbfounded. What is even more astonishing is his ability to deal with practical affairs. Since his debut, he has gone down the mountain to establish a wisdom religion, competed against the exchange team of Wanfa Xianmen, overthrew the sub-helm of the Beast Control Sect in Yuntai Mountain, and developed the Taikoo Sword Tomb...any one of them is enough to impress He became famous, not to mention Lingjian Mountain, and even in the world of cultivating immortals in Kyushu, Wang Lu is also a well-known figure.
However, this well-known figure who seems to be omnipotent has failed several times in the Misty Peak cafeteria, which immediately aroused people's great curiosity. It's a pity that every conversation between Wang Lu and Aya is kept secret, and people can only think wildly when they are curious. For example, Wang Lu and Aya have actually had an affair for a long time. As early as ten years ago, Wang Lu fell in love with Aya at first sight, and after several years of constant pursuit, he finally moved his heart—otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he often came to the Misty Peak cafeteria to eat—but now they broke up because of emotional discord, Negotiated several times on issues such as abortion fees, but failed to reach an agreement. Wang Lu, who came from a poor family, tried to bribe with meal coupons, which aroused Aya's great anger, and the matter came to a stalemate...
Such vulgar rumors that the masses like to hear gradually spread on Lingjian Mountain. Although Wang Lu's reputation is not bad, many people still doubt it after a long time. It's not that I really can't believe in Wang Lu's character, it's really... It is said that the origin of such rumors is from Wuxiang Peak! This undoubtedly greatly increased the weight of the rumors.
And Wang Lu has been blocked by Aya these days, and he doesn't bother to care about the bad behavior of some boring person who took the opportunity to slander him. If Aya's problem is not resolved, he is really not interested in thinking about other things.
During this period of time, he has used various methods to test it out. It seems that Aya really has no intention of going west, let alone going west, she is even unwilling to leave Lingjian Mountain, it doesn't make sense.
But this is strange. According to Wang Lu, Aya is completely different from the proprietress. She is not the kind of dead house who stays behind closed doors. It's hard to hide the heroism that is rare for a woman in her chest.
If such a character is at least a hero in the outside world, how can he be a chef in the cafeteria with peace of mind—the key is that he is still quite unprofessional
"Aya, what is your problem, why don't you tell me clearly, we have been friends for so many years, will I not help you?"
Regarding this, Aya just smiled lightly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but if you are really in trouble, wouldn't I ask other elders to help you before you go up the mountain? Don't talk about this matter anymore."
Wang Lu had nothing to do, so he had no choice but to smash the pot and said, "Could it be that you were forcibly taken over by the boss? Don't worry, I'll take celery juice in his tea to avenge you..."
"roll."
I don't know how many times I have been rolled, but fortunately every time it is over, when Misty Peak canteen is open for business the next day, he should or can enter. But the problem is still unresolved, and it is inevitably depressing. After thinking about it, Wang Lu had no choice but to use a killer move.
—
"Master, what happened to Aya?!"
The so-called killer move is naturally to seek help from people in the know. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is invincible, there is always a reason for Aya to be so attached to the Misty Peak cafeteria. And when the reason was unknown, Wang Lu really couldn't use many methods easily. After all, Aya is considered half teacher and half friend to him, and his Wuxiang swordsmanship has a bit of Aya's swordsmanship shadow. Therefore, when the situation is unclear, it is inevitable to tie your hands and feet. And to find out the situation, the first choice is of course to ask yourself, but unfortunately Wang Lu tried several times to test Aya but he didn't respond, and the other elders... After all, they are not as familiar with their master.
"Tsk, finally know how to ask for help, don't you just try to be brave?"
Master has been waiting for him at Wuxiang Peak for a long time.
"Aya's problem is actually very simple. It's not that she doesn't want to leave, but she can't."
"Can't go?" Wang Lu was taken aback, and jumped up from his seat, "It really is that old bastard who is the head of the sect who forcibly occupied her body, and then used her son as a hostage!?"
Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then praised: "Good idea! I'll spread the rumor tomorrow. If that old bastard doesn't give me an enshrinement, I won't clarify."
"...Master, if you don't die, you won't die. Why don't you understand."
But seeing Master's response like this, Wang Lu also knew that his guess was probably off by a thousand miles, "What's going on?"
"It's a long story, but where do we start?" Wang Wu tapped the table with his knuckles, pondered in his heart, and asked, "You and Aya have known each other for more than ten years. She has a certain understanding, in your opinion, what is her personality like?"
Wang Lu thought for a while: "Generally speaking, she is an upright, serious, humble and polite person with a strong sense of responsibility. It can be seen that she is a bit competitive, but she restrained herself a lot for some reason. In addition, between her conversations, Although there is no domineering appearance, but the calmness and familiarity with many people and things are clearly the reactions of those in high positions. It makes people feel like a noble lord or a king of a country... It is hard to imagine that she came here to work as a part-time chef What is the intention."
"Well, the conjectures are basically correct. She is indeed born as a king... Of course, she can only be regarded as a king of subjugation now."
Wang Lu was surprised: "Is it because she cooks for her own people?"
Wang Wu glanced at his apprentice coldly: "You can try to tell her the same."
"I still understand the truth that if you don't die, you won't die. You continue."
"Her country fell apart and died at the hands of people. There are too many reasons for it, but her own temperament also accounts for a large part. You should have expected this, so I won't go into details."
Wang Lu nodded, knowing very well that Aya's conscientious personality is not suitable for being the top leader, especially the top leader of a country... Whether it is Xingguo or Kingdom, it is not uncommon.
"However, because of her temperament, she was unwilling to be reconciled after the subjugation of the country. She single-mindedly blamed herself for the suffering of all beings, and regretted it. There are many stories in this, but in short, when she was at a loss, she heard a rumor. In the distant Eastern Continent, there is a magical way to win a war."
The way to win the war? Wang Lu frowned, and said, "Are you hanging up?"
"... If you interrupt me again, I won't talk about it. Listen, you and I are both from Kyushu, so naturally we don't care about the way to win a war, but for Aya at that time, it was the only thing in the dark." Hope. So she worked so hard to come to the east, just to find the way to win the war, and during this period, she met the senior brother of the Heavenly Sword Hall, and by chance, she was left on the mountain."
"Wait, there is too much information missing here. She was confused and her mind was not clear, so she was looking for some unreasonable way to cheat. What would she say when she met the elders of the Heavenly Sword Hall and were left on the mountain? Could it be that the elders lied to her?" She, as long as she has been a chef for a hundred years, she will be rewarded with the method of winning the war, and then slowly enlighten her to let go of her burden and start a new life? Although she has a straight temper, she is not an idiot."
Speaking of this, Wang Wu's expression was also slightly dim: "It's not that simple. When the brothers met her, she was already exhausted, and what supported her was only a single obsession. She has been traveling in Kyushu for many years. How can she be so simple?" Don't you know that the so-called method of winning a war is completely false? However, once this obsession disappears, the whole person will also disappear. When the senior brother saw her, he felt sorry for her life, so he took her back to the mountain and used the Lingjian mountain The power of the pulse helps her to condense her soul and maintain her vitality. But... this is only a solution to the symptoms, not the root cause, once she leaves Lingjian Mountain, she will disappear immediately."
Wang Lu was very surprised: "What is this thing that can gather and disperse according to the change of the mind, and disappear once it leaves the mountain?"
Wang Wu said coldly: "What else can it be, undead."
"Undead!?" Although from a rational point of view, based on the previous clues, this answer is simply logical. But thinking of Aya's voice and smile on weekdays... Wait, this word is a little wrong, but in a word, Wang Lu really can't imagine that the heroic girl is actually a dead person!
"Of course it's not an ordinary wandering ghost. Have you ever seen an undead who is indistinguishable from a real person? There is a heartbeat, body temperature, shadow, and clear thinking... She is a heroic spirit." Merit, respected and worshiped by thousands of people, upright in life, upright in temperament, and obsessed, may become a heroic spirit after death. Of course, ordinary heroic spirits are by no means as good as hers, they must be pure and untainted, and the audience wishes The power is extremely strong, and it fits itself well, and at the same time, the primordial spirit is extremely powerful, coupled with very special conditions, it can be condensed into such a vivid heroic spirit."
Wang Lu nodded: "When a monk has reached the state of body fusion, the three of spirit, energy, and spirit are integrated into one, and the soul and the body are transformed into each other. This is almost the truth. That is to say, Aya was a master of the body body before she was alive?"
Speaking of this, Wang Lu was in awe.
"She was in the Xiyi Continent before her death, and the rules are different. It can't be converted so simply, but it should not be much different." Wang Wu said, "But she witnessed the destruction of the country and the destruction of her life, and she was actually unable to transform the heroic spirit under the shock of her soul. , Only when a special condition is met can she come back from the dead. To put it simply, it is similar to the oath of the heart demon, she swears to complete one thing, and before that, her soul will not be scattered."
Hearing this, Wang Lu has already sorted out the ins and outs: "It is to find the way to win the war, and then restore the motherland. But when walking in Kyushu, he gradually felt that the way to win the war was beyond reach, so the demon in his heart If the oath is slack, the body of the heroic spirit will be difficult to condense, and then meet the elders of the master, and use the power of the earth's veins to cooperate with special spells to stabilize the body. But you can't leave the mountain, right?"
Wang Wu said: "Besides, the elder helped her a lot, and she stayed on the mountain out of gratitude."
"Help a lot?"
Wang Wu said with full of sympathy and pity: "Actually, I invited her to a big meal, but she was so moved. She came to Kyushu alone as a heroic spirit, alone, and she didn't even have a full meal after walking for many years. That's still It was the first time she really tasted the food of Kyushu, and she was almost out of her mind when she was pleasantly surprised. Later, she thought that she had received a great favor, so she decided to at least repay her kindness before she died—she has clear grievances and grievances. It’s a pity that she stayed in the mountains, she There were not many things to do, but her appetite was unbearable, and she ate a lot of food stored in Lingjian Mountain. Later, she felt ashamed, so she took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the position of Misty Peak's chef, saying that she couldn't do it any more. She is favored by others for nothing, and at the same time, such delicious food is more valuable if she cooks it herself, and as a result... As you can see, with her special physique, she probably won't be able to repay her kindness in this life."
"..."
"Anyway, that's pretty much what Aya's story is about. If you can get clues from it and liberate her, it will be a great merit." At this point, Wang Wu smiled playfully, "How about it, have confidence Got it?"
Wang Lu snorted: "After hearing such a story, can I have other answers?"
In the autumn of 6356 in the Kyushu calendar, Wang Lu silently made a vow on Wuxiang Peak, determined to carry out a great plan.
Save Chef Aya!
