Because the food is not served with ordinary dishes, but with bronze utensils.
The bronze vessel containing grains and rice is quite small, weighing only a dozen kilograms.
That pot of soup was actually a three-legged cauldron, weighing dozens of kilograms.
The old man had no two front teeth left, his arms and legs were old, and it was difficult to walk. He held a bronze vessel weighing more than ten kilograms to eat, and used slippery ivory chopsticks. It was very strenuous to eat.
Ye Xiaochuan was not hungry at first and had no appetite at all.
But the two saints invited guests and could not refuse.
The taste of the food was really not good, and the batch was unpalatable, especially the bronze tableware, which was even more awkward.
Seeing the two old men tremblingly holding bronze rice bowls and picking beans with ivory chopsticks, Ye Xiaochuan and Shangguan Yu were speechless.
The two of them thought, why is this happening?
Such a heavy bronze vessel at such an old age.
I have no teeth and still have to eat beans.
Don't you want these two saints to die early?
The Second Saint saw what they were thinking.
Duan Gong said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do.
This is our Confucian etiquette.
There are strict rules for standing up, lying down, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It is said that Lao Yan and I are the two most noble saints in the world. In fact, the life we live is worse than that of ordinary people.
I have been eating these tasteless grains for more than a hundred years, and to be honest, I have long been tired of them.
We really want to have a meal of minced meat, but the people below won’t let us eat it.”
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Junior's cooking skills are pretty good. Since the two seniors want to eat something else, leave it to the juniors."
The Second Saint laughed and expressed that he was looking forward to Ye Xiaochuan's craftsmanship.
Yu Haisang and Shi Jingtian, who were waiting on the side, wanted to speak, but seeing the two teachers so happy, they didn't say anything.
"boom!"
Shangguan Yu awkwardly picked up the bronze bowl that fell in front of him.
Her cultivation level was banned and her strength was weak. It was really laborious to hold the bronze tableware, which weighed more than ten kilograms, to eat. She failed to hold on just now and accidentally dropped the large bronze bowl to the ground.
Seeing Shangguan Yu's embarrassed look, the Second Saint laughed again.
It seems that as I get older, I have gained a bit of childlike innocence.
Being teased by the Second Saint made Shangguan Yu blush, and she seemed to feel even more ashamed than when Ye Xiaochuan saw her naked body last night.
I wish I could find an ant hole and crawl into it immediately, never to come out to see anyone again.
After lunch and washing their hands, the two old men played a chess game on Xuehai Cliff.
The two of them did not get off, but let Ye Xiaochuan and Shangguan Yu get off.
Ye Xiaochuan has never been an arty person. He knows backgammon and a little bit about chess, but he doesn't understand Go at all.
Shangguan Yu is different. She is a famous talented woman in the world. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. After a game of chess, she can kill Ye Xiaochuan's people.
Duan Gong sat next to Shangguan Yu, and Yan Gong sat next to Ye Xiaochuan. When the second round started, the two old men couldn't sit still.
There is no such thing as a true gentleman who watches chess without speaking. It's all bullshit.
With a little guidance, the two young men began to be used as puppets, fighting overtly and covertly on the chessboard.
As dusk approached, the magic sound mirror in Ye Xiaochuan's arms began to tremble.
He knew that the message must be from Wang Keke, so he thought of listening to it.
Mr. Yan suddenly said: "Don't go anywhere, just call here. I want to see how many secrets you have."
Ye Xiaochuan was naturally not afraid that Duke Duan and Duke Yan would hear his secret, but that Shangguan Yu would hear it.
He glanced at Shangguan Yu.
Duan Gong smiled and said: "You have even seen Shangguan girl taking a bath in the water, what else is there to be taboo about?"
Ye Xiaochuan had no choice but to turn on the magic sound mirror.
He prayed not to be Wang Keke, but to be Qin's best friend.
Unfortunately, the prayers were in vain and Wang Keke called me via video chat.
As soon as Wang Keke's head appeared, he immediately said: "Sect Master, Zuo Qiu has just been escorted to the Holy Mountain by people from Piaomiao Pavilion and Xuantian Sect. There are more than 20,000 cultivators accompanying him, and there are many masters hidden secretly. The scene is really scary.
ah.
Fortunately we didn't rob people halfway, otherwise it would be really difficult to escape."
Shangguan Yu slowly stretched his head and glanced at the magic sound mirror in Ye Xiaochuan's hand.
He found that in the mirror was a little old man whom he had never seen before.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "I know, if you don't have anything to do, just leave it like this."
We need to close the magic sound mirror to prevent Wang Keke from leaking more secrets.
Wang Keke said, "How can it be okay? I still have many important things that I haven't reported to you, the sect leader."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "What important thing can you have?
talk about it later."
He wanted to close the magic sound mirror again, but Mr. Yan reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Ye Xiaochuan looked at Mr. Yan and saw that he was smiling and his eyes turned slightly, as if he was glancing at Shangguan Yu.
Ye Xiaochuan's heart moved, and he already understood the true intentions of the two old men, Yan Gong and Duan Gong.
It's not that they want to hear their secrets, but that they want Shangguan Yu to know their secrets.
Although Ye Xiaochuan couldn't understand the thoughts of the two saints, since they asked him to do this, it must be reasonable.
He said: "If there is anything else, please tell me."
Wang Keke immediately said: "I just got the news that the 40,000 goddesses led by Dugu Fengyue sent by Nangong Bat did not come to the Holy Mountain at all. After these 40,000 people left the dead lake, they turned around in a big circle and took five from behind.
The poisonous lair."
Ye Xiaochuan was startled and said: "Nangong Bat has occupied the Poison Dragon Valley?"
Wang Keke shook his head and said: "No, the Five Poison Sect and the Rogue Cultivator Goddess have been having a lot of trouble recently. During this crisis in the Western Region, the Five Poison Sect did not send many disciples eastward. The main force stayed in the Poison Dragon Valley and did not relax their vigilance.
The whereabouts of the forty thousand goddesses were discovered this afternoon. At that time, they had reached less than three hundred miles northeast of Poison Dragon Valley.
The hundreds of thousands of demon sect disciples led by Tuoba Yu were eight hundred miles away to the west of Kunlun Mountain, and they quickly rushed there. Only then did Dugu Fengyue take the 40,000 goddesses and escape into the Rainbow Miasma of Death.
If Tuoba Yu hadn't arrived in time, I guess the anus of the Five Poison Sect would have been ripped out by those goddesses."
Ye Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Poison Dragon Valley controlled by the Five Poison Gates is a big piece of fat.
Ye Xiaochuan was not the only hungry wolf eyeing this piece of fat, but there was also another hungry wolf, Nangong Bat.
Ye Xiaochuan is confident that he can snatch the Poison Dragon Valley from the Five Poison Sect, but if the Poison Dragon Valley falls into the hands of Nangong Bat first, with his current strength, it will be difficult to snatch it back from Nangong Bat's hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators.
Ye Xiaochuan asked: "Is there anything else?"
Wang Keke said: "Yanfeng gave me the news. Except for some disciples of Ao Shuangquan's Fengzi Sect due to the long distance, our more than 1,100 Lingji masters have almost been deployed in place. According to the plan, tonight
At that time... Ye Xiaochuan said: "I understand."
Before Wang Keke could finish speaking, Ye Xiaochuan interrupted him.
