Chapter 18 Taiping Sect, long-term bait
"You are..."
"Exactly the same hunger."
Zhou Qing burst into laughter and laughed for a while, then he opened a wooden cover. Inside was stacked meat steaks like a hill, fried on both sides and turned brown. The meat juice was flowing now, looking tempting.
, so that several people who had already consumed a lot of physical energy could no longer hide their hunger.
Regardless of etiquette, Li Taibai and Du Zimei directly picked up the plates, chopsticks and forks from the side and launched an attack on the steaks.
Zhou Qingdu took his time, and after cutting the meat strips for Xuan Mao 'Qingyin', he began to enjoy the steak in front of him, sprinkling some crystal white salt grains and some ground pepper from time to time.<
/p>
Compared with other spices, the price of pepper is not that high. In addition, the climate in today's era is hot, and occasionally there are plants growing near Chang'an. Even Zhou Qing himself planted several peppers, including pepper, somewhere in the back mountains.
Grow spices for daily meals.
There were some things that even Li and Du couldn't eat normally, but today they could enjoy them with confidence. Just for this reason, the resentment that the two of them had before being plotted by Zhou Qing had also been reduced a lot.
Not to mention that the meat steak has a taste that I have never tasted before. The slight fishy smell adds a wildness. It is not as delicate as ordinary mutton, but it is a little softer and juicier than beef.
The richness is something that cannot be seen on ordinary days.
Paired with the large grains of salt and pepper spice powder without any bitterness, it is already considered a delicacy even if there are no extra seasonings.
"By the way, I haven't seen you hunting Taoist master. Where did this food come from?"
Du Zimei, who was already four to five times full and finally relieved of her uncomfortable feeling, suddenly fell into a daze when she looked at the steak on the plate.
"Guess?"
Zhou Qingdu slowly ate the steak in front of him, his expression unchanged.
Just like an ordinary dinner table conversation, this kind of special calmness gives people a accustomed and special sense of calm, which makes people have to think more.
"This..."
Li Taibai, who was stuffing his mouth full of pork chops, suddenly felt that the oil on his lips had a different taste, and his mind began to spin crazily.
Finally, he opened his mouth suddenly and spit out the steak on the plate.
Because if he remembered correctly, apart from the two of them, the only thing left that Zhou Qing had brought back before was... the evil corpse!
Now the body has disappeared...
Just when Li Taibai started to turn blue, Du Zimei suddenly burst into laughter, and with Zhou Qingdu's chivalrous smile, Li Taibai knew that he had been teased.
"You're so beautiful, you actually make fun of my elder brother!"
Li Taibai slapped Du Zimei's shoulder suddenly, but Li Taibai used 100% of the force.
The scholar, who had just learned the Moon Refining method and whose physical strength had only just improved a little, felt as if he had bumped into the door panel.
I screamed for a while.
Only Zhou Qingdu and Xuanmao Qingyin watched the two of them use their own methods to vent their luck after escaping the catastrophe of life and death. They did not stop, but watched the show happily.
"You are also lucky."
"On weekdays, even if I catch prey, Qingyin never bleeds it properly because Qingyin thinks it's dirty. I can only have this level of food by waiting for the traps I occasionally set up to catch live animals and processing them myself."
"This time, in order to make up for the previous injuries, the Taoist who combined the spirit's blood captured a few sika deer in Zhongnan Mountain and sucked the blood dry. Only then can we enjoy the steaks we have today."
After hearing Zhou Qingdu's words, the two relaxed their minds.
"That's why Xiaodao said that guy was looking for death."
"All living things in Zhongnan Mountain are considered the private property of Louguandao. My hunting is just a trivial matter. Is this something he can touch?"
"Lou Guan Dao's Niubi, if they don't crush him to ashes, they will be considered too narrow-minded."
Perhaps because they had been with the mysterious Zhou Qing for so long, Li and Du almost forgot who the real giant overlord was in Zhongnan Mountain.
You must know that Louguan Taoism is a Taoist giant that has invested in it since Emperor Gaozu. Subsequently, there are not a few people who have become real protectors of the country in the past generations, which can be regarded as having the same contract with the country.
"Actually, even if Xiaodao doesn't take action, those old bulls from Louguan Road won't let anything happen to you."
Having said that, the two of them still felt a little sad, but they didn't know that they could still attract so many people's attention.
"One is a poet who has been relegated to immortals in several states, and the other is a talented scholar from an aristocratic family who has just become famous in Luoyang."
"You are not as inconspicuous as you think."
"It's just that some people can never lower their eyes, or are too lazy to lower their eyes to see these things."
Knowing that Zhou Qing didn't think highly of anyone in the dynasty, including the sage, Li and Du wisely changed the subject, lest the exchange get to a point where they didn't know whether they should listen or not.
"Then, the evil corpse from before..."
Li Taibai asked curiously. If he remembered correctly, Zhou Qingdu had smashed the head of the evil spirit with one blow. Why did he bring the remaining headless corpse with him?
"The body was taken away by the people from Louguan Dao, but Xiaodao has also obtained the information they wanted."
"Ha, I am a good Taoist, but now I have to get involved in court disputes. I can only turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, and I don't know what Tao I am cultivating."
When talking about this matter, the answer given by Zhou Qingdu also surprised Li and Du. They knew that they did not want to get involved in this matter, but the origin of the evil path must be explained to avoid these two unscrupulous characters.
, you don’t know how to defend yourself when you encounter an opponent.
"In Liquan, there is now a secret and growing cult called the Taiping Sect. Many similar practitioners within it are now expanding in the countryside and beguiling the ignorant with their superstitions."
"Even if it's related to a big local business, the government can't handle it at will."
"When he came to Chang'an this time, he was just a deputy, and there was another principal who did something else."
"Seeing that Wang Er was affected by evil spirits, he decided to use the usual methods and sacrifice his life to practice, but he forgot that this is the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, where Louguan Taoism is located."
Just looking at the behavior of the evil cult, you can see how they used to dominate the villages and towns in Liquan, and they simply took and asked for the common people, otherwise this habit would not have continued near Chang'an.
"As long as you know this."
"If you want to deal with it, you won't be qualified even if you become cannon fodder."
Glancing at the high-spirited Li and Du, Zhou Qing naturally knew their little thoughts clearly.
However, this matter is not that simple. The Taiping Sect has caused trouble in the countryside and has done so many things. Still, Liquan is so close to the Chang'an court. It is almost impossible for no one to deliberately suppress the report.
There must be someone behind the scenes who is playing a long game to catch the big fish.
