If Emperor Jianwu really planned to use the lives of the people in exchange for his own immortality, then he would be really crazy!
Of course, everything is just speculation now, and further investigation is needed to find out what the facts are.
It's just that the Hanlin Academy is already heavily guarded. After what happened today, the people in the editorial office will definitely be more vigilant and want to sneak in and find out why the officials are so crazy and what they are crazily copying and compiling.
What kind of book it is will be even more difficult.
Although Qin Shaoyou's cultivation has reached the third level and has been promoted to the realm of demigods, he is following the path of a martial artist.
Fighting head-on is no problem for Qin Shaoyou.
But if he wants to avoid the detection of spells and supernatural objects, and sneak in to collect evidence, it will be a bit difficult for him.
Even though Qin Shaoyou has some supernatural items on his body, in terms of grade and effect, they cannot be compared with the treasures mastered by the editing factory.
"We need to ask the commander for help."
Qin Shaoyou made a decision after a brief moment of pondering.
"When the commander returns from his inspection, we will report this discovery to him and see if he has any clues. At the very least, we can borrow some suitable supernatural items from him to facilitate our investigation."
Qin Qiaoer, Zhu Xiucai and Cui Yougui nodded in unison.
Judging from the current situation, this is the only way to do it.
Qin Shaoyou then ordered: "Although I have left no evidence, the people in the editing factory will probably still suspect us. Everyone should be careful these days and don't let the people in the editing factory take advantage of it."
After a pause, he continued: "If someone from the Editorial Factory dares to provoke trouble, don't hesitate to call me back. The Demon Suppression Department and the Editorial Factory have never been at odds with each other, and we have made great achievements again.
If you are timid, it will make people suspicious."
This makes sense, Qin Qiaoer and Zhu Xiucai nodded in unison.
Cui Youying even agreed: "No problem, as long as the people from the editing factory dare to come, I will blow them up until they can't take care of themselves."
Senior Brother Cui wished that people from the editing factory would come over to stir up trouble.
In this way, he can make the name of Lord Bai Zha resound throughout the capital and impress Master Zhang.
Qin Shaoyou discussed with everyone for a few more words and then asked them to go out first with the Yuanyang Pot.
Before leaving, Cui Youyou glanced at the water that Qin Shaoyou had put aside to wash the oil whale meat.
After washing the oil whale meat in a basin of clean water, a thick layer of oil floated on it, exuding an alluring oil fragrance.
Cui Yougui rolled his eyes, secretly made a magic trick, and used a secret magic to secretly take away the basin of water in which the oily whale meat was washed.
He thought this was done without anyone noticing.
But in fact, Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch Statue and Qin Shaoyou both saw his move at the first time.
Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to stop, but just as he was about to speak, he saw the statue of the Patriarch cast a warning look at him.
After being stunned for a moment, Qin Shaoyou came to his senses. The Patriarch was not allowing him to remind Senior Brother Cui and wanted to borrow the water in which the oil whale meat was washed to teach Senior Brother Cui a lesson.
This guy is just stealing ingredients now. If you don't teach him a lesson, he might steal vegetables next time.
For the food-protecting ancestor, not beating the shit out of Cui Youying was already a great honor to Qin Shaoyou.
Of course, there is another possibility that the founder did not want to dirty the kitchen and let the food smell.
Cui Youyou didn't know the inside story, and thought he had successfully hid it from Qin Shaoyou and his ancestor, and followed Qin Qiaoer and Zhu Xiucai out of the kitchen happily.
He didn't notice at all that behind him, Qin Shaoyou was shaking his head helplessly.
After Qin Qiaoer and the others left, Qin Shaoyou released the shadow demon again and asked him to follow him outside the Hanlin Academy, looking for an opportunity to see if he could sneak into the Hanlin Academy to spy on the situation.
"If you don't have a chance, don't act rashly."
Qin Shaoyou warned with a serious look.
On the ground, the shadow demon stretched out his hand, made an 'understand' gesture, and immediately got into the surrounding shadows and disappeared in an instant.
After the shadow demon left, Qin Shaoyou returned to the stove.
After taking a look at the situation in the pot, he saw that the oil was almost refined, so he picked up the oil residue and put it in the [Human Arsenal].
Although these oil residues cannot be used in any recipe yet, what if related spiritual dishes are prescribed in the future?
Anyway, there is still space in the [human arsenal], so storing some oil residue is not a problem at all.
The aroma of the oil residue is equally attractive, but unfortunately it is fried with oil whale meat. If there is no corresponding recipe, Qin Shaoyou is really afraid that he will fly after eating it, so he can only swallow his saliva and resist the urge.
On the other side, Qiurong also completely ground the remains of the bone flute into fine powder.
After Qin Shaoyou thanked him, he took the finely ground bone meal, tested the oil temperature, and poured them all into the oil pan.
There was only a "crashing" sound, and the oil pan suddenly started boiling.
Qin Shaoyou immediately picked up the spatula and kept stirring.
After a quarter of an hour, the bone meal in the pot was fried to a golden color and clumped together to form a shape similar to honeycomb corn.
Qin Shaoyou knew that the bone powder was successfully produced at this moment.
So he stopped stirring and took the bone meal out of the oil pan and set it aside to control the oil.
As for this pot of oil, Qin Shaoyou didn't want to waste it, and planned to put it into the [Human Arsenal] after it cooled down.
Whether you use it for cooking later or as a fire starter, it is a good choice.
This is oil refined from whale meat. It is extremely easy to ignite and can even cause an explosion.
Perhaps, by giving them to Taoist Zeng Cong, some new weapons can be made.
The bone powder has just been prepared, and the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch can't wait to do it.
Qin Shaoyou noticed the change in the gaze of the Patriarch's statue and quickly served a portion to the old man.
It's a pity that Li Erlang is too far away from the capital, otherwise Qin Shaoyou would have wanted He Xie to send a piece of bone meal to his brother.
Not to mention, although the name of pounded bone meal is not pleasant, the taste in your mouth is quite good.
It is crispy and has a salty aroma, and the first bite is filled with the aroma of oil, but it is not greasy, making you want to take another bite after one bite.
Qin Shaoyou quickly finished a portion of the bone meal and licked his fingers, feeling a little unfinished.
Although he really wanted to continue eating, he knew that spiritual food should not be eaten too much at one time, otherwise it would be a waste and might even cause harm.
After eating the bone powder, Qin Shaoyou put the rest into the "Human Arsenal", and when he has time, go to places like Confucian temples, Taoist temples, and Buddhist temples to dedicate it to the Master, the spiritual official, and Wei Tuo.
Then he sat cross-legged in the kitchen and began to refine and absorb the effects of bone pounding powder.
In the blink of an eye, the second day came.
Qin Shaoyou, who had roughly absorbed the effect of bone pounding powder, packed up his things and walked out of the kitchen.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Cui Youxuan and Zhu Xiucai walking out of the hut, supporting each other.
These two guys were shambling, their faces full of insincerity, and each one looked more haggard than the other.
After seeing Qin Shaoyou, the two of them looked surprised and puzzled.
Probably because he couldn't understand why he was almost exhausted after having a bowel movement all night, but Qin Shaoyou had no problem at all.
I wanted to ask, but I was embarrassed.
After all, this matter is entirely their own fault...
