The 'Operation Fruit Picking' went extremely smoothly. After smashing the golden statue of the City God who had not yet been canonized, Lang completely severed the connection between the Moon-Swallowing King and the city, the City God's Temple, and even this place.
.
At the same time, the early morning purge also wiped out the local government's seven ghosts who had taken refuge in the other side. It cut off the opponent's basis for a comeback. Even if they came back, no one would be able to use them.
Finally, after dawn, Lang fed everyone [Are you starving to death?] a bowl of poisonous porridge to stimulate their potential, then went through the streets and alleys to clean up ghosts from house to house, harvesting raw materials for cultivation, and finally recovered the corpses and piled them in the City God's Temple.
Establish authority and publicize achievements.
During this operation, the painters have been chanting slogans, advertising for Lang, and building momentum for the upcoming [Da Chan Temple].
Combined with the good reputation of his previous business, he quickly won trust and initially gained the hearts of the people. In one fell swoop, [Devil Elephant] had a chance to win the election for this year's City God.
As for the government forces in the city, as well as the monks, Taoists, and scholars who mastered the 'practical magic', they all chose to keep silent.
They may have the strength to kill seven or eight lonely ghosts, and they can also work together to deal with the ghosts who have perfected their Qi. But they are powerless in the face of the Night Parade of Hundreds of Ghosts that takes place every night, and they can only lower their heads and pretend to be cowardly.
Now Bailang has led a group of painted-skinned monsters and bloodbathed these ghosts. Naturally, they are extremely obedient and have absolutely no thoughts that they shouldn't have.
…
Bailang spent one morning to deal with the chaos in the city, took over the security of the city, and quickly restored order. He also continued to send out "starving men" and insisted on providing free medicinal meals to the civilians who were injured last night.
However, the theme of this propaganda brainwashing gradually changed from 'Baiyulou, Baozhilin' to the hidden power behind the two stores. The justice [Da Chan Temple] finally surfaced.
The civilians who often received aid from the Bailang Gang were influenced by the Buddhist culture of the Chu State and had no resistance to organizations such as 'temples' that were supposed to provide relief to those in need. They fell to their knees immediately, extremely happy and feeling hugged.
On the thigh.
At the same time, the residents in the city also suddenly realized why the relief porridge provided by the 'Baiyu Tower' was so magical? It was the secret recipe of the [Da Chan Temple], which was simplified from the 'secret medicine' taken by the gods.
Drinking a bowl of it will prolong your life. If you are lucky enough to drink it for a year, you will be able to lift the clouds and soar to Mount Sumeru in the Western Paradise.
Soon, new rumors quickly spread among the crowd. Temples in various places in Chu State worshiped different 'Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats', occupying the C position due to their different schools and doctrines. The inheritance and level of temples are also divided into
Upper, middle and lower grades.
Although this [Da Chan Temple] is the lowest form of Arhat Temple, it has special skills. It is different from those temples with big signs such as Pure Land, Zen, Yoga, Precepts... etc., it is the unique true inheritance of the ' Chan Sect'.
It is world-famous for its "Buddhist Cultivating Style". It has the only "Lingshan Cooking Training Base" in China, which enshrines an "Arhat". It is easy to get started, it is fast to become a Buddha, and it is safe and harmless.
The main theme of the Taoist doctrine is more simple and down-to-earth, pointing directly to the great road: as the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. We don’t need to be tired or hard, we can easily attain Taoism and become immortals by eating fast and worshiping Buddha every day.
As soon as this rumor appeared, it was warmly welcomed by all the residents, who were even more eager to welcome this Arhat, enshrine him, and assume the position of City God.
Compared with other schools' joyful Zen, human bone ritual tools, complicated and difficult-to-understand scriptures, and strict practice precepts... Is there anything more close to the people than the 'Gang Sect' who can become a Buddha by just eating vegetarian food?
After spreading rumors to build momentum, Bailang stopped paying attention to residents' reactions.
In a bigger place, he has repeatedly plowed the area inside and outside. He has been fighting from the world to the underworld, and there is no power that can threaten him. It only takes a few days to ferment, and it will be logical to confer the [Devil Elephant Lord] to the local law.
City God.
Then, the dove occupied the magpie's nest and changed the "City God's Temple" into the second "Ancestral Court of the Great Chant Temple in the Underworld" after the "Ancestral Court of the Great Chant Temple in the Underworld".
As for the so-called 'Zen Taoism-Lingshan Cooking Training Base'? He is not just bragging. Lang plans to use the small underworld here to complement last night's inspiration and create a 'oil pot hell' for more in-depth cooking training.
.
Isn’t the Hell of a frying pan the ‘Buddhist chef’? It just fills the gap in the [Unknown Arhat Sequence] and further spreads the art of gourmet food.
Just when he was carefully planning to turn this city into a private base, a painted boy suddenly came to him in a hurry, with a shocked face, and reported an incredible 'wonderful incident'.
…
In the afternoon, in the living room, Bai Lang sat on a chair with a strange look on his face, his eyes fixed on something on the round table, a little dazed, wondering what he was thinking about?
Beside him, Xiao Fufu, Shuiben Wan, the tamed ghost toad, and the other "ghost toad stepbrother" who had no choice but to become a dog during the early rescue, also sat around the round table, staring at the
Objects are stunned.
Especially little Fufu was the most unbearable. She smelled the strong "sweet and sour smell" and couldn't help but shed tears of hunger at the corner of her mouth. But she was very sensible and did not make a fuss or show her temper. She just looked at her hungry and fiercely.
With it, the unspeakable pitiful grievances can be eaten.
"How weird?!" Old Goat Shuipenwan kept shaking his head and stroking his beard, marveling again and again.
The ghost toad also widened its eyes and looked ugly, showing an expression of surprise and shock: "This... how is this possible?"
Next to him, the monster sworn brother who looked like a night owl and could also live in the underworld asked: "Brother, is this really the 'corpse refining technique' you taught me?"
The ghost toad scolded: "Is that still false? Can't you feel the rich yin energy in its body?"
The younger brother who looked like a night owl shook his head: "How could you sense it? There is only a strong aroma in my nose."
Bailang ignored their argument and continued to stare at the center of the round table. One weighed at least ten kilograms, its body was covered with flower knives, and its body was covered with sweet and sour sauce. The taste was deep into his bones and his eyes were dull. He was completely cooked.
, but it can still float in the air and swim slowly in the 'Sweet and Sour Fish'.
Having lost many extraordinary abilities, Lang does not have the ability to 'see, hear, and hear the demon species', and it is difficult to perceive and analyze its mysteries: "This thing seems to have grown in a circle?"
He still remembered that when the 'Salted Fish King' was offered last night, he chose the smallest size from the bottom of the box. But the 'Sweet and Sour Fish' in front of him was at least a dozen levels of heat.
The new ‘underworld magic consultant’ who joined the Bailang gang, Night Owl Head asked curiously: “Is it resurrected?”
"This..." Ghost Toad couldn't answer. Although he provided a quick 'corpse refining technique' and even witnessed the birth of the fish with his own eyes. But the situation at that time was too complicated and included many things that it could not even imagine.
element.
Bai Lang said at this time: "There is no resurrection. This is indeed a corpse refining technique, but it is not an ordinary corpse refining technique."
Shuibenwan also had some vision and agreed: "That's right! I noticed some traces of 'weapon refining skills' from it, but why does the 'pollution spirit' in its body decrease instead of increasing? Weird! Weird.
!”
Bai Lang suddenly said: "This is the power of my 'Da Chan Temple Cooking Technique'! Do you know that the essence of cooking is not to refining corpses?"
"this?","?!!","……"
When others were surprised, Lang explained: "Except for a few special ways of eating, wouldn't normal cooking, regardless of animals or plants, have to go through a wave of killing first? After death, the body should be disposed of and then put into the pot.
In it, cooking is carried out. Whether it is frying or steaming, isn’t it the process of mixing various seasonings into it?”
At this time, Lang was the first to be relieved, as if he had figured out something: "So this 'cooking' is like refining elixirs, refining weapons, and at the same time refining corpses. Just like this fish, after being cooked, it will be mixed with various
The ghostly things were stir-fried and simmered together, then seasoned with seasonings, and souls were infused with corpse refining techniques. Finally, by chance, they turned into this 'sweet and sour corpse fish'. No, it's sweet and sour fish! You can't find it in any restaurant.
Aren’t the sweet and sour fishes all fish carcasses?”
Shuibenmaru continued to echo: "Yes, yes. Where in the world is there alive sweet and sour fish? It's other people's boiled fish, pickled fish, paper-wrapped fish... aren't they all refined from corpses? That's it."
Sweet and Sour Corpse Fish sounds really scary."
Bailang nodded, looked at the slowly swimming 'sweet and sour fish', and said: "So I would like to call it 'sweet and sour fish'!"
Among the five people present, except Bailang and his daughter, the other three are all aborigines. Although the two underworld monsters have limited skills and lack of knowledge, they are more familiar with the underworld magic than Shuibenwan, and they also joined in the "sweet and sour fish"
' is under study.
After an hour-long public relations exercise by the scientific research team, several conclusions were finally drawn. First of all, the birth of sweet and sour fish is obviously related to the 'corpse refining technique'. If the sweet and sour fish is compared to a 'magic weapon', then its core circuit
It is the 'Salted Fish King's Corpse Refining Technique' that constitutes the soul.
Then, through the black box algorithm of "magic weapon flying pot to ignite fire, ghosts stew and sprinkle seasonings", it was successfully mutated into a dish: sweet and sour fish. But unlike ordinary dishes, although the fish is cooked, it also absorbs a lot of the essence of ghosts.
Refining the corpse is also done.
Even though it is covered in swords and flowers, the aroma is fragrant and the smell has penetrated into the bones, but it is also lethal, and has the characteristics of both 'ghost' and 'zombie'. It becomes stronger through killing, and it also generates a certain amount of activity, and can swim in the void, just like a ghost can
Like floating.
"Cooking is refining corpses? Cooking, refining corpses, that's wonderful!" After hearing Bai Lang's explanation, the ghost toad's expression changed. His outlook on life was impacted, and then he was shattered and then rebuilt. Isn't that what it is? Refining corpses is cooking.
Art! "Master, I am enlightened!"
At this time, Ye Xiao also expressed his doubts: "Sir, I also have a question. Why do I clearly feel the threat of it, but the internal 'pollution spirit' is so thin? I have also sacrificed magical weapons and raised ghosts. Can I
It is concluded that its quality and power are inconsistent with the 'spirit' inside."
Shuibenwan also nodded: "Yes, yes, it's really strange."
Lang disagreed: "What's so difficult about this? This is the power of 'cooking'!"
"Cooking skills?" Ghost Toad, who understood that "refining corpses is cooking skills", looked at Bai Lang enthusiastically, looking forward to embarking on an unprecedented new path.
"The cooking method of Dafan Temple is a superior way of practice that is superior to the traditional new method. You can also see that whether it is this fish, other ingredients, or even ourselves, it is suitable for cooking
Tao'. Use cooking methods instead of new methods, and use special recipes instead of secret medicines. The 'secret medicines and magic weapons' refined in this way will have a significant reduction in contamination, weaken side effects, and regain their old style."
The night owl leader asked: "What's the truth?"
"The truth?" Bai Lang thought about the food paradise that had been contracted in this ruined world, and sighed: "Times have changed. From now on, cooking skills are the heart of heaven, and cooking skills are the way of heaven!"
Finally, the topic returned to the 'Corpse Refining-Sweet and Sour Fish'. It was indeed the product of the underworld's cooking methods and was accidentally created. Not only this one, but other main paintings also appeared one after another during the battle last night.
Trigger similar achievements, and sacrifice to produce pieces of 'Spicy Fish, Osmanthus Fish'.
Different from the "fish knives" of the past, these "underworld-corpse fish" have taken the route of "delicious corpse refining tools" and become special "magic weapons" that can be used to swallow ghosts and then return to the pot again to cook them.
In this way, soak in spices and seasonings, like the Supreme Laojun falling in love with a monkey, tempering yourself to refine the nutrients in your body and gain growth.
What is stronger than the traditional 'new method' is that the pollution distortion has dropped significantly. Behind this is probably the manipulation of the 'food paradise'. Although this 'corpse cooking method' is very underworld, it is in line with the 'culinary avenue' and is conducive to
The spread of food civilization.
Therefore, this kind of underworld cooking that is in line with the "food paradise" has greatly weakened and reduced the "pollution distortion", which is an unparalleled core competitiveness.
As long as the Painted Skin Team gathers the "Fire Drawing Technique" and "Flying Pot", practices the spooning skills, and masters the correct seasoning techniques, they can enter the underworld to hunt cooking ghosts (auxiliary ingredients) and stew a "vegetable fish" of their own destiny. Follow along with them
growing up.
"Is this the Beast Control Sect? Or the Heavenly Corpse Path? Or the Treasure Corpse Dream Trainer?"
In Bailang's mind, a monk appeared in his mind, carrying a pot and followed by six different kinds of elves: sweet and sour fish, crispy roast duck, charcoal grilled eel, beggar's chicken...and another one who also carried soft-shell turtles and suckling pigs.
, the monk of Pigeon..., conducts turn-based PK.
Traveling all the way through mountains and rivers to slay demons and eliminate demons, collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and found the country for the second, third, and fourth time, throw his "treasure corpse dream" back into the pot, and cook like crazy. Under the light of the fire, his facial features were ferocious and he was laughing wildly.
Put out handfuls of chopped green onions to make your dream of the natal treasure corpse become more and more fragrant and stronger.
He suddenly shook his head, got rid of the delusions in his mind, looked at the 'Sweet and Sour Fish' again, and finally had an idea. It could be integrated into the [Unknown Arhat Sequence] as one of the initial conditions of this sequence.
Since it is a Buddhist order, isn't it a routine operation to surrender a mount? Guanyin has a golden roar, Manjusri has a green lion, Samantabhadra has a white elephant... So in my lineage of 'Unknown Arhat', isn't it reasonable to surrender a fish?
The unexpected birth of this 'sweet and sour fish' has revealed the tip of the iceberg of the potential of 'kitchen cooking'. Just like Watt's improved steam engine opened the steam age, this fish of Lang points out the future development direction for this fairy way that distorts the world.
