Qin Shaoyou was about to test the Duhua tea in the bowl to see if it had been eaten by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, when he heard footsteps.
Turning around, I saw Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma.
The two of them were also a little surprised when they saw Qin Shaoyou standing in front of the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
After coming forward to see the gift, Zhu Xiucai asked curiously: "Sir, are you also here to offer incense to the Patriarch?"
Qin Shaoyou said vaguely "Hmm".
Although he does not burn incense, feeding and burning incense should be almost the same, right?
At the same time, he was also a little curious: "What are you doing here?"
Monk Ma pointed to his companion beside him and replied: "The scholar wanted to come and offer incense to the Patriarch, but he was afraid that the Patriarch would be angry, so he dragged me along."
Qin Shaoyou looked at Zhu Xiucai, who scratched his head in embarrassment and explained: "When I returned to the ward, I thought about it and felt that my ancestor was saving me last night, so I wanted to come and offer incense to his old man.
, to show gratitude.”
So that’s it.
Qin Shaoyou nodded and understood.
As for the reason why Zhu Xiucai was afraid of the Patriarch's anger, although he didn't say it, Qin Shaoyou also knew - last night, Zhu Xiucai and several strong men complained that the Patriarch was nosy and ruined their good deeds.
"You should indeed offer incense to our ancestor."
Qin Shaoyou stepped aside so that Zhu Xiucai could offer incense.
Zhu Xiucai thanked Qin Shaoyou and was about to get the incense when his eyes fell on the Duhua tea in his hand.
"Sir, what is in this bowl? Is it wine for the ancestor?"
The tempered tea in Qin Shaoyou's hand was slightly green in color, and it really looked like freshly brewed, unfiltered 'green ant wine'.
Hearing Zhu Xiucai's words, Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes and asked him: "Do you want to drink?"
Zhu Xiucai rubbed his hands and said, "I thought of it, but it's just not appropriate, right? This is what you, my lord, want to give to my ancestor."
Qin Shaoyou handed the bowl to Zhu Xiucai: "It's okay, you can drink it, I still have it."
Zhu Xiucai smiled and took the bowl: "Then I'm welcome."
Qin Shaoyou also laughed: "You're welcome, drink it."
Zhu Xiucai was really rude, holding the bowl and drinking it all in one gulp.
Before Qin Shaoyou could ask him how it tasted, he saw his expression suddenly change, and with a 'pop', he spurted out all the boiled tea in his mouth.
If Qin Shaoyou hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have been sprayed all over his face.
Zhu Xiucai not only spit out the tea, but also kept spitting "bah bah".
"What's wrong with you?" Monk Ma was startled by his reaction.
Zhu Xiucai's eyebrows and beard were wrinkled. He raised his head and looked at Qin Shaoyou and asked: "Sir, what is this bowl of yours? Why does it taste so bad?"
"Is it hard to drink?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
"It tastes pretty bad, just like fucking horse urine, bah bah bah..."
Zhu Xiucai was still spitting as he spoke, and said to Monk Ma: "Monk, help me get some water quickly. I want to rinse my mouth."
Monk Ma said "Hello" and went out to find water for him. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask: "Hey, scholar, how do you know what horse urine tastes like? Have you drank it before?"
Zhu Xiucai's expression suddenly froze.
He didn't answer, he just kept spitting.
"Monk, don't bother me. Come, Xiucai, drink some new tea and rinse your mouth."
Qin Shaoyou called Monk Ma to stop, took the bowl from Zhu Xiucai's hand, and poured him half a bowl of new tea.
Zhu Xiucai looked at the tea in the bowl and hesitated.
This time, although the green in the bowl was a bit thicker than before, it looked like the same kind of thing.
Can it really be drunk?
Qin Shaoyou urged: "Drink, can I still trick you?"
Zhu Xiucai didn't respond, but looked at him sideways, his meaning was obvious: Didn't you just deceive me?
Qin Shaoyou understood his eyes, but pretended not to understand.
Zhu Xiucai hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and took a sip.
This time the tea tasted completely different from the unpleasant taste before.
The aroma of tea is faint and refreshing, with a little bit of sweetness in the bitter taste.
As soon as I took this sip of tea, the unpleasant smell of horse urine was instantly wiped away.
Zhu Xiucai felt relieved and drank half the bowl of tea in two gulps.
Not only was the smell completely gone from his mouth, he felt that his heart seemed to have calmed down at this moment.
"Sir, what kind of tea is this?" Zhu Xiucai asked curiously, looking like he still had something to say.
Qin Shaoyou didn't answer, but just asked: "How does it taste?"
"It tastes great!" Zhu Xiucai praised, "I have never drunk such delicious tea."
"Nonsense, all you drank before was high foam, how good can it taste?" Qin Shaoyou said casually.
In her heart, she thought of those candied haws that Su Jianqing had eaten.
The candied haws, which was supposed to be sweet and sour, did not change much in appearance after being 'eaten' by Su Jianqing, but the texture and taste became like chewing wax.
It is very similar to the smell of horse urine that has been turned into tea.
So the previous bowl of Duhua tea was still eaten by the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch?
Although the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch did not consume its form, it absorbed the subtle substances inside.
Just this way of eating...
Qin Shaoyou raised his head and looked at the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, and couldn't help secretly guessing: "Could it be that the reason why this statue has all kinds of supernatural powers is because there is a ray of soul sealed in it? If this is true, then the one who is sealed will be
Whose soul?"
At this time, Zhu Xiucai returned the bowl to Qin Shaoyou, then lit three incense sticks, muttered a lot of words of thanks.
But when Zhu Xiucai inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, the incense went out quickly.
"Huh?"
Zhu Xiucai was stunned.
How did he come across the matter of Xiang Mie? Isn't that just for adults?
Qin Shaoyou took a look at the bowl in his hand and guessed some reasons: this bowl was an offering bowl for the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch. Perhaps it thought that anything put in the bowl should be a tribute to it.
But just now, Zhu Xiucai took the offering bowl and drank a bowl of new Duhua tea.
From the perspective of the Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch Statue, this is stealing food from its bowl.
So it got angry and refused to accept Zhu Xiucai's incense.
This statue of the Patriarch... is quite arrogant.
Qin Shaoyou calmly put the bowl back on the altar table, took out an oil ghost cake and placed it inside, and continued to eat.
No matter what the source of the miraculous power of the Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch Statue is, since it is enshrined in the Demon Suppression Department, it cannot be a bad thing.
And the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch eating the demon ghost food given by Qin Shaoyou is a good start.
As long as you feed the statue of Jiutian Demon Patriarch with more demonic food and build a good relationship with it, you will be able to achieve your goal of using it as a tool in the future.
"Don't worry, Grandmaster, as long as I have a bite to eat, you can't do without a bite."
When Qin Shaoyou put the oil ghost cake on, he was still muttering something in his heart.
Then, he glanced at Zhu Xiucai, who was still confused, and took out a piece of oil ghost cake and handed it over, asking Zhu Xiucai to put it into the offering bowl.
Zhu Xiucai didn't know why, but he still did it.
Then Qin Shaoyou asked him to try offering incense again.
Zhu Xiucai obediently lit three more sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner.
This time, the incense did not go out again.
Qin Shaoyou understood.
This statue of Jiutiandangmo Patriarch is a foodie!
If anyone competes with it for food, it will become anxious with him.
But at the same time, if anyone gives it something delicious, it will put aside its past grudges and deal with them well.
Qin Shaoyou figured out the situation, but Zhu Xiucai became more and more confused: "Sir, what on earth is going on?"
