The weather has been very good these past few days, the north wind is not strong, the sun is warm, the snow on the road has melted a little, and when passing by the small frozen ditches, you can hear the sound of gurgling water.
The wheels rolled on the snow-covered road, making a creaking sound.
Because they were in a carriage, they naturally couldn't go in the direction of the ladder, otherwise, regardless of whether an "ordinary cook" could go up the ladder, the stone bridge and cave alone would not be accessible by a carriage.
Several people walked by water.
Everything at the ferry has been repaired, as if nothing happened here yesterday, but everyone knows in their hearts that the ghost king was captured by those bastards while crossing the river.
The ship was quite big, and it had a bridge deck for carriages. After the carriages boarded the ship, they arrived at the opposite ferry safely.
Several people checked their human skin masks again to make sure there were no flaws before moving on.
To be honest, they have also gone to the Holy Church by this road, and the farthest they have only reached Cangmo Peak and Qianluan Peak, but these two peaks do not seem to be in Yunzhong City, so how to get there depends entirely on these old horses up.
As the saying goes, it is not unreasonable for an old horse to know the way.
After going ashore, Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan didn't drive much anymore, and let the horses lead them along. The road made many twists and turns, first bypassed Cangmo Peak, and then passed Qianluan Peak. The two peaks have been destroyed to the point that there is no scum left, and there is not a single disciple left.
Leaving Qianluan Peak, headed all the way to the southeast, passing through a seemingly lush and dangerous forest, but the road was flat, a few people saw a city, and the city gate here seemed to be full of fireworks in the world, at least several figures could be seen, and some Some residents come and go.
Now Yan Feijue is facing the face of the disciples of the Holy Cult, took out the jade card of the disciples of the Holy Cult, and showed it to the disciple who guards the gate. The disciple who guarded the gate seemed to have a good relationship with him, and smiled and patted him on the shoulder, telling Yan Fei Jue and Hai Shisan's carriage passed.
Today is not the day when the Holy Cult opens an altar lecture. There are many residents in the city, but the road that Maer takes them is a few secluded paths. They have no intention of admiring the scenery in the city, so walking here seems clean.
"Why not yet?" Yan Feijue looked at the sky, it was actually not too late, he was just eager to save people, he had to think about it quickly, but he couldn't drive too fast, this road wasn't what they had walked before The horses were frightened by driving too fast, and the horses ran around. Are they still going to the Holy Church
What did Hai Shisan do after all? He was better at finding the way than Yan Fei. He looked around and said, "Hurry up, we'll be there in a quarter of an hour at most."
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, several people saw the group of ancient castles built on top of the green hills.
Yan Fei sat up straight.
Qiao Wei took out the mirror and took a look at this face that was not too disguised but slightly painted with yellow powder. The people of the Holy Church had never seen her, and no one could say anything about her even if she was a female cook. That face was too ostentatious, with two layers of yellow powder to suppress the complexion, it looked more like a poor cook who worked all day long.
At the mountain gate, there are still two disciples guarding the gate.
The inspection by these two people was much stricter than the disciples at the city gate. They not only let Qiao Wei get off the carriage, but also inspected Hai Shisan's "truck".
The situation in the truck is hard to describe. Beside the tender, crispy, golden-yellow and oily roasted whole lamb, there is a big eagle, two minks, and a little black monkey.
The four beasts held a piece of meat pulled from the roasted whole lamb in their hands, and when they saw the curtain of the car moved, they all hid the meat behind their backs! He stared at the disciple who raised the curtain of the car with his innocent animal eyes wide open.
Roasted whole lamb, golden eagles, ferrets, monkey monkeys
The food is rich enough.
The disciple smiled, lowered the curtain, and let the carriage pass.
Hai Shisan was assured that the ingredients on the carriage were absolutely not adulterated, and he did not carry any weapons, so when the disciple went to check, he didn't even get off the seat of the carriage, so the release was naturally expected.
The wheels of the wheel turned up and down.
Where outsiders can't see, the other side of the roasted whole lamb has been eaten up until only the skeleton remains.
The golden eagle took away its full-feathered wings, revealing two little buns with bulging bellies, holding a jar of kumiss.
The little buns burped one after another.
Hai Shisan: auditory hallucinations, auditory hallucinations!
…
But he said that His Highness the Third Highness started to walk around the house after sending off the golden eagle. He didn't know if Qiao Wei and the others could really sneak in, or if they would be recognized halfway.
The female disciple who served her personally brought breakfast into the house for the third time: "Third Highness, you should eat some at least."
His Royal Highness waved his hands in dismay: "Don't eat! I told you that your food is unpalatable, so why give it back to me? What about the roasted whole lamb I asked you to buy? Have you bought it yet? It's almost time for lunch." ! I'm starving to death!"
The female disciple said coyly: "It's a world of ice and snow, and the road is not easy to come here. Third Highness, you might as well eat something to pad your stomach first."
His Highness said stubbornly: "I won't eat it! I will roast the whole lamb! If I don't roast the whole lamb, I will go down the mountain!"
What the female disciple is most afraid of hearing now is that he said that he is going to go down the mountain. In fact, the female disciple does not understand why the people above treat a prince of Yeliang City with such courtesy. In my eyes, this prince is like a baby bump, no one can mess with him, and he can't be neglected.
His Highness the Third Highness glared at him, and said ferociously: "Why are you sticking around? Taking advantage of His Highness? Why don't you go out soon?!"
The female disciple went out with the food box.
As soon as she walked away, the Third Highness patted his chest, he was so fierce, so terrified!
Simply, His Highness the Third Highness didn't wait too long, as soon as he went out in front of the female disciples, His Highness heard the sound of the wheels of the carriage. At this time, the person who can drive the carriage in with dignity should be the cook of the old brand!
He rushed out in the first place, even the disciples who went to check were not as fast as him, he rushed to the carriage in one breath, he didn't recognize Yan Feijue after the disguise, but he recognized Joe who got off the carriage Vie.
Qiao Wei just made herself ugly, and it was not difficult to recognize her when she knew she would come.
The Third Highness's next pair of tricks are on.
The female disciple followed, first glanced at Qiao Wei vigilantly, and then looked at Hai Shisan and Yan Feijue who also got out of the carriage. She knew these two disciples, so she didn't suspect anything, but...why was she a female cook?
Qiao Wei bowed to the Third Highness.
His Highness cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "Ah, it's you, why are you here?"
The female disciple asked suspiciously: "His Third Highness knows her?"
His Highness said, "Of course I know you, the chef of that restaurant! Her roasted whole lamb is the best!"
Hai Shisan gave Ye Luo's salute to His Highness the Third Highness, and said in Ye Luo's words: "Some dishes are not tasty when they are cold, so I dared to invite the cook over."
The female disciple said harshly: "You are so bold! You even brought outsiders into the Holy Cult!"
His Highness said fiercely, "Why don't you take me to eat?! You want me to eat something cold? What do you mean? Do you want me to have diarrhea?!"
The female disciple frowned and lowered her head: "Yunying dare not."
"Let's go, let's go, it's none of your business!" His Highness the Third Highness sent the female disciple away.
His Highness the Third Highness stretched out her hand, trying to drag Qiao Wei back to the house, Qiao Wei shook her head slightly at him, he understood, looked around at the disciples and the cook who was ordered to come, and said in a tone: "I... I'm hungry! Go get some food!"
Qiao Wei spoke respectfully in her fluent Yeluo dialect: "If you go back to Your Highness, the roasted whole lamb is ready, but the pies and lamb bones need to be made fresh."
His Highness waved his hands and said, "I don't want to drink mutton bone soup now, nor do I want to eat pies. I haven't eaten the buttered tea you cooked for a long time. Come in and cook me a bowl."
"This..." Qiao Wei hesitated.
His Highness looked at the cook at the side and said, "You guys, go and cut up the mutton! Other dishes... just watch and cook, go and go!"
The cooks were dismissed in this way. The temperament of the Third Highness in the past is not strange, but after all, he is a child, and it is reasonable to go east and west for a while.
The Third Highness led Qiao Wei to her room.
In the carriage, Jing Yun and Wang Shu drank too much kumiss and wanted to pee a long time ago. Now that the carriage stopped, they hurriedly rolled out of the carriage and went to the toilet in a daze.
The Four Birds and Beasts also wanted to follow, but unfortunately they were a step too late, and the cooks came over.
The cooks pulled the carriage containing the four animals to the kitchen, and then began to unload the goods.
Roast whole lamb... half.
Because there is only half of the hair, the cook is also dumbfounded.
Kumiss... half jug
Why is there only half a jug of wine? !
Fortunately, there is a golden eagle.
Can do grilled wings.
Two ferrets.
One steamed and one braised.
As for this little black monkey... Well, it can make a fresh monkey brain.
For the sake of so many ingredients, the cook didn't bother to think that there was only half a jug of wine and half a whole roasted lamb.
The cook sliced the half-roasted whole lamb into a plate, martial arts practitioners have not so delicate stomachs, and they eat cold meat, so the cook didn't think much about it, just cut a small piece and tasted it.
He was a little disdainful at first, wanting to know what is so good about Yeliang City's cooking skills? It can make His Highness the Third Highness dislike him as the number one chef of the Holy Cult.
The taste of cold meat is not as good as hot food.
But when the piece of meat melted on the tip of his tongue, he realized he was wrong.
What he cuts is the innermost tender meat, and seasoning, oil and salt are not sprinkled here. It retains the deliciousness of the mutton to the greatest extent, but it does not have much smell. It is tender and cool, with a trace of original juice Original flavor.
He also dipped some of the sauce made by the other party. It was sweet and sour, and paired with this smooth thin slice of lamb, it was so delicious that people wanted to swallow their tongues!
If it was said that earlier, he still had some doubts that His Highness the Third Highness was deliberately interacting with outsiders, but after tasting the other party's skills, he no longer had any doubts.
After having tasted such a craft, even he began to dislike his own. It is really embarrassing for the Third Highness to endure silently for so long...
Here, when the cook was crying over a plate of roast mutton, on the other side, His Highness brought Qiao Wei, Yan Feijue and Hai Shisan back to his room.
After entering the room, His Royal Highness closed the door: "How did you get here? Didn't you meet anyone along the way?"
Qiao Wei shook her head: "No, the journey has been smooth, and time is tight, so I won't greet you. We are here this time mainly for two things, one is to find a martial arts method that can refine poison pills; The first item is to rescue the ghost king. I heard from my grandma that most of the thoughts are in the Zangshu Pavilion, do you know where the Zangshu Pavilion is?"
"I know!" The Third Highness did not stay in Shengjiao for nothing these days. He went out for a walk when he had nothing to do. In the whole Shengjiao, except for the other side of the Silver Lake, there was no place he didn't go. To the southeast, after exiting the courtyard, turn right, go straight, go straight, you will find the tallest stone building you can see. However, Zangshu Pavilion is not so easy to enter.”
Qiao Wei thought for a while: "Can you go in?"
His Highness patted his small chest and said, "Of course I can! But I don't know what book you want."
Hai Shisan said: "We will go with His Highness the Third Highness."
"Can you?" Qiao Wei looked at the Third Highness.
His Royal Highness nodded: "No problem, as long as I don't say I'm leaving the Holy Cult, I'm free to do whatever I want."
Qiao Wei still doesn't understand why Shengjiao treats His Royal Highness like this. He is too free to say that he is under house arrest. He even goes to secret places like Zangshuge; but it is not under house arrest. Cannot leave the holy religion.
Qiao Wei held his hand: "No matter what, you will leave with us this time. Your mother is in the palace, waiting for you is very hard."
His Highness missed his mother obediently and agreed.
"Ghost King..." Qiao Wei had just said two words, and a voice from a female disciple came from outside the door, "Third Highness, the roasted whole lamb has been cut up, can I bring it in for you?"
Qiao Wei grabbed a piece of tea cake and threw it into the small boiling pot.
"Come in." The Third Highness said in the usual tone.
The female disciple brought in the roasted whole lamb, looked at Qiao Wei warily, saw that Qiao Wei was indeed making tea, and left without saying anything.
But she didn't go far, but put her ear against the door, eavesdropping on the movement inside.
It's no wonder she was so cautious, it was really the Great Saint Master's order to prevent His Highness the Third Highness from getting close to anyone.
Yan Feijue heard the movement outside the door, made a silent gesture to the people in the room, and exchanged a look with Hai Shisan.
Hai Shisan understood, walked to the door, opened his voice and said, "I went to Yeliang City this time, and bought some gadgets. Third Highness, look, this is..."
His voice was so loud that it poisoned the female disciple's ears completely.
Qiao Wei lowered her volume, and said to the Third Highness, "Does the Third Highness know where the Ghost King is being imprisoned?"
His Royal Highness frowned handsomely and shook his head: "I haven't heard of a ghost king..."
Hai Shisan continued to raise his voice, "Haha, Third Highness, don't you think it's very interesting?"
The female disciple frowned.
Qiao Wei whispered: "He was captured by Gui Ji and several saints."
"The words of the Saint Master..." His Highness said thoughtfully, "I do know where their Saint Master Hall is, but I can't guarantee whether the ghost king you mentioned was arrested or not."
Qiao Wei stared and paused: "Where is the Saint Master's Hall?"
…
The Hall of the Holy Master is located in the south of the center of the Holy Church. It is surrounded by stone buildings, which look like stars arching the moon. Every stone building has disciples on patrol, paying close attention to the movement of the Hall of the Holy Master.
And Qiao Wei is also paying attention to their movements.
The disciples in the north stone building changed shifts.
Qiao Wei rushed over, and soon, the stone building in the south also began to change shifts.
Qiao Wei flashed past under the noses of several people at an extremely fast speed, until she reached the gate of the Saint Master's Hall, she gestured to Shiqi who was not far away.
The Seventeenth National Congress swaggered towards the Hall of the Holy Master.
He was a dead man, and the guarding disciples didn't pay much attention to him, but when he reached the entrance of the Saint Master's Hall, the disciples guarding the gate stopped him.
The disciple looked at his face, stretched out his hand, and asked him for the token of the holy master. The dead without the token of the holy master are not allowed to enter the hall of the holy master.
Seventeen pretended to touch the token in his bosom, but taking advantage of his disciple's unpreparedness, a sharp palm wind knocked him unconscious.
After knocking him out, Shi Qi took his place and guarded the door of the Saint Master's Hall openly.
Those patrolling disciples turned their heads and saw that the gatekeeper had turned into a dead man, so they continued to patrol without saying anything.
As soon as the guarding disciple left, Qiao Wei grabbed the unconscious disciple and went in.
Qiao Wei found a corner, pulled off the other party's clothes, and put them on herself.
Due to time constraints and lack of tools, it was impossible for her to easily become the other party. Qiao Wei could only lower her eyebrows and try her best to reduce her sense of presence.
Fortunately, it was time for lunch, and all the disciples were going to the dining hall to prepare their meals. Few of them actually met them. When they happened to meet each other, Qiao Wei bowed and nodded politely. It passed unharmed.
It's a pity that this peaceful state didn't last long. When Qiao Wei was walking through a corridor, a disciple suddenly grabbed her arm, handed her a food box and said, "Brother, do me a favor, I... I have a stomachache, you help me send it over there! It's over there!"
He was really in a hurry, and pointed to the end of the corridor, regardless of whether Qiao Wei saw it, he covered his stomach and ran away with a distorted face.
Qiao Wei originally didn't plan to go there, even though she was carrying a food box, but as soon as she took a step, another disciple walked out of a room at the end of the corridor: "Is it the food delivery? What are you doing with the pestle? Come in quickly!"
Qiao Wei had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.
"Put it on the table." The disciple said to her.
Qiao Wei entered the room and put the food box on the table.
"Take it out!" the disciple said again.
Qiao Wei turned her back to him, opened the lid of the food box, and took out the dishes inside one by one. To Qiao Wei's surprise, these were all Central Plains dishes.
"Are you new here? I haven't seen you before." The disciple couldn't help but ask in disgust when he saw her slow-witted look.
Qiao Wei didn't say anything, she just turned her head and saluted respectfully.
The disciple ordered again: "Go, clean up the house inside!"
Qiao Wei clenched the dagger in her sleeve, and just as she was hesitating whether to knock this disciple down with a single blow, another disciple entered the room.
Qiao Wei retracted the dagger decisively, and stepped into the back room.
"Then who is it?" asked the second disciple.
The disciple said casually: "The new one, the one who delivered food to that woman."
The second disciple looked at a table of mouth-watering dishes and shook his head: "Isn't it just a poisonous body? It eats better than us!"
The disciple was yin-yang and said strangely: "He is a pure yin body, and he has already begun to form pills. One poisonous pill of a pure yin body is worth ten or a hundred poisonous pills of ordinary people."
Qiao Wei even guessed and guessed, and almost understood. The second senior sister fled, but the Holy Cult still has a pure yin body, and it is about to produce a poisonous pill.
The second disciple sighed and said, "It's a pity that one of them escaped, otherwise the Great Sage Master would be very happy if he offered two poisonous pills of the pure yin body. Once he is happy, we will also be rewarded!"
Qiao Wei didn't understand this paragraph, but the previous information was enough.
While cleaning up the broken tiles on the floor, Qiao Wei took a look at the bed with curtains on it. There was a woman lying on the bed with her hands and feet bound. Body
She has also begun to form alchemy, if it falls into Gui Ji's hands, wouldn't it make Gui Ji's strength increase a lot
This is not acceptable, even if such a good thing is destroyed, it cannot fall into the hands of Gui Ji!
With a flash of thought, Qiao Wei clenched the dagger in her hand, opened the curtain, and walked straight towards the two disciples who were stealing dishes. She calculated the angle and made two moves with one move. The dagger stabbed out, and the bodies of the two disciples suddenly convulsed, and then they both held their stomachs together, and ran out with distorted faces...
Qiao Wei looked at the two people who "run away", then looked at the dagger in her hand, raised her eyebrows, went back to the room, put the dirty, unkempt woman on the bed on her back, and stepped out of the room.
As soon as she left the room, the three disciples rushed towards her like flying.
Qiao Wei's temples twitched, it's not that bad, people will catch her as soon as she goes out, right
She watched helplessly as the three of them rushed over, and watched the three of them rush over to the toilet at the corner.
Qiao Wei: "..."
Along the way, she met countless disciples. Everyone was holding their stomachs and rushing towards the toilet like crazy. No one noticed that Qiao Wei stole someone from the house.
Qiao Wei walked around the Saint Master's Hall so blatantly, and came out safe and sound!
The latrine of the Holy Church fell within a day, and the culprit, Xiaobai Dalala, was lying in the steaming steamer with his limbs spread out. Preserved Duck.
…
The Great Saint Master is actually not in the Saint Master Hall, but in a small courtyard several miles away.
Due to the distance from the dining room, the meals are still being escorted.
The Great Saint Master was not idle, and went to his own Treasure Pavilion.
There are many things in the Treasure Pavilion, and the poisonous pills on the shelf at the entrance alone are enough to make people salivate.
Gui Ji followed behind the Great Sage Master, staring at the poisonous pills on the shelf, swallowing desperately.
The great sage master picked out a poison pill and was about to put it in her hand, but suddenly thought of something, and said to her: "Why don't you stop for two days to see if your power will weaken."
Ghost Ji is not happy!
The Great Saint Master paused: "Forget it, take it."
Gui Ji happily accepted it.
The Great Saint Master came to the second row of shelves and pressed the switch on the top. Suddenly, a brick protruded from the wall. If you look closely, you will find that this brick is hollow, and there is a brocade box inside.
The Great Saint Master took out the brocade box and gently opened it. There were two rows of shiny silver spikes in the box, eighteen in total. Under the nails, there was a drawing explaining where the spikes should be used.
Gui Ji came over curiously, and when she saw the contents in the box, she slapped her hand in fright. It wasn't for the Great Sage Master's preparation, the box of nails would have been destroyed in her hands.
The Great Saint Master looked at her deeply: "Afraid?"
Gui Ji backed away with a pale face.
The Great Saint Master sneered: "Eighteen soul-suppressing nails, things that even the one in the rumors are afraid of, how can you ghost kings bear it?"
Gui Ji was really afraid that the Great Sage Master would nail such a terrible thing into her body, so she gave up the poison pill and ran away like jumping a big rope!
Gui Ji's level was originally higher than that of the ghost king, and even she was so afraid, it seems that the ghost king will compromise this time.
The great sage master who took the soul nail, didn't wait for lunch, and went to the secret room where the ghost king was held in high spirits.
The secret room is in the basement of the small courtyard. After exiting the Treasure Pavilion, go straight to the right and enter a study room, and then open the passage behind the study room to reach the secret room.
Wang Shu found this place by looking for the toilet. Of course, she had finished urinating. After urinating, she started to walk back.
She drank too much kumiss, she was still a little dizzy at the moment, her feet were deep and shallow, as if she was stepping on clouds, when she saw the small courtyard, she thought she had returned to Fangcui Garden, so she walked in with her short legs .
She walked up the corridor, walked and walked, and walked into a study. She saw the bed in the study and rolled up.
When she rolled to the inside, the bed board flipped and she fell.
She rubbed her eyes and walked in.
"Roar-"
It was the roar of the ghost king.
Wang Shu's big drunken eyes froze for a moment, Daddy the Ghost King? !
"Roar-"
The ghost king saw the soul-suppressing nail in the hands of the great sage master, and a wave of fear welled up in his whole body.
He wanted to escape, but was bound tightly by Long Xun's chains, unable to move at all.
The Great Saint Master glanced at him proudly: "It's still too late to beg for mercy, as long as you become my slave, I will let you go. Otherwise, I will nail each of these eighteen soul-suppressing nails into you—"
He didn't finish his words.
Wang Shu pushed open the stone door: "Daddy Ghost King!"
The great sage master was standing behind the stone gate, and with a thud, he was smashed into the wall by the stone gate!
