Senior Qing's voice was cold and sweet, like clear water. When she told the past, she easily brought Luo He into the story.
Decades ago, the previous Jade Dragon God still existed in the world.
He is the "God of Snow Mountains" in Donghuang. He protects the creatures in the snow mountains and watches over the snow-capped mountains and the ice and snow.
However.
The frost dragon from the outer realm invades the snowy mountains, trying to devour the creatures in the snowy mountains, and uses its two attributes of ice and darkness to impact the legendary realm.
The Jade Dragon God is at the forefront of resisting the invasion. He has no shirk in his duty and starts a fierce battle with the frost dragon.
The war spread from the Snowy Mountains to the tributaries of the Snowy Mountains.
On the river, the Jade Dragon God fought with the Frost Dragon until the snow mountain collapsed and the river stopped flowing.
The local people were frightened and suspected that the dragon god was angry and changed the name of the place to "Nulong River".
The battle ended with the Frost Dragon being driven back.
The frost dragon that covered the sky and sun flapped its battered wings and retreated deep into the snow-capped mountains outside the country.
However, the Jade Dragon God was unable to pursue him and stayed in the Raging Dragon Canyon.
"I witnessed His wrath, but His days were numbered."
Senior Qing's voice was emotionless, but he seemed a little taciturn. He looked back at the shrine:
"This place eventually became the burial place of the Jade Dragon God."
Luo He opened his mouth, wanting to comfort Senior Qing, but looking at her snow-white profile, he could not speak.
"I remember Senior Qing mentioned that the Jade Dragon God was born from the belief in the snow mountain." Luo He thought to himself.
When the previous Jade Dragon God dies, this mission will be handed over to the next one.
"Before I died, He asked me to understand the emotions of the creatures in the snow-capped mountains. Only by understanding the creatures can we protect them."
Senior Qing said slowly: "Among living things, human emotions are particularly complex, such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, sorrow... It is very difficult for me to understand all of this."
"But, at least." Senior Qing said expressionlessly, "I like your cold jokes very much."
The god of the snow-capped mountains said seriously that he liked bad jokes.
Luo He felt that Senior Qing was surprisingly cute.
The story has come to an end, but Luo He is still a little confused.
"You haven't explained the origin of the miasma dragon yet, Senior Qing." Luo He reminded.
"The giant frost dragon flew deep into the snowy mountains. It is very likely that it has died, but its resentment cannot be dissipated."
Senior Qing said: "The miasma dragon just now was born from its resentment."
"Then why did the miasma dragon appear on the Nulong River?" Luo He asked.
Senior Qing looked at the Jade Dragon God's shrine, with a hint, and said:
"I think he wants to destroy this place."
Luo He was thoughtful.
I vaguely feel that the clues are coming together.
In conclusion, it is very likely that the remains of the frost dragon are buried in the Miasma Canyon.
The Frost Dragon is a powerful creature on the same level as the God of the Snow Mountain. It is immortal and its resentment turns into miasma and envelopes the canyon.
In recent times, the miasma's activities have suddenly become more frequent.
Not only did Xuexue's father die due to miasma, but a miasma dragon appeared on the Nulong River.
Master Li, Master Lao Jin, Hunter King and other representatives from all parties have mentioned that they want to go to Miasma Canyon to investigate the truth.
And the truth is already very close to me.
Luo He fell into deep thought.
If a totem-level frost dragon is really buried in Miasma Canyon, even Master Li may not be able to deal with it.
Is there anything I can do?
Join hands with Senior Qing and Senior Black Turtle to solve the mystery of the frost dragon...
Or, to find the help of the evil-fighting Bai Ze that Xue Xue's father once mentioned?
"Have you ever tried to go deep into the Snowy Mountains to find the whereabouts of the frost dragon?" Luo He asked.
Senior Qing shook his head gently: "That place is already outside the border. Going there rashly with my strength will cause a lot of trouble."
"That is to say, you must be sure that the giant frost dragon is causing trouble before you can take action?" Luo He said.
Senior Qing nodded slightly.
Originally, with Chef Luo's character, he would not be willing to get involved in such a major incident involving such a wide range of things.
But many people who are closely related to him and attach great importance to him have been involved.
If you understand the truth one step ahead of Captain Li, you must also bear the corresponding awareness.
Righteousness and enlightenment, this is exactly what the Hunter Club pursues!
"Is there anything I can help you with, Senior Qing?" Luo He volunteered.
Senior Qing stared at Luo He and shook his head silently.
"Okay, I also know that my strength is a bit weak."
Luo He coughed lightly, not discouraged, and continued:
"But maybe I can help find Bai Ze's whereabouts."
"Baize?"
"A mythical beast that is good at warding off evil. Legend has it that it can see through all the evil beasts in the world and purify any evil spirits in the world."
Luo He said: "If we can find Bai Ze and ask him to help, we can probably send the frost dragon directly to the snow mountain!"
Luo He made a neck-cracking gesture, which was a bit exaggerated.
Senior Qing was silent for a moment and said calmly:
"If you can invite Bai Ze to help, I will reward you."
"But how do you plan to impress Bai Ze and invite the mythical beast out of the mountain?" Senior Qing asked.
Luo He summoned the legendary kitchen utensils, holding a black basalt round shield and a unicorn jade pendant in each hand, and said:
"Just my two legendary kitchen utensils and the dishes I cook."
Senior Qing's eyes flickered slightly.
She had heard about the legendary kitchen utensils from her predecessor, the Jade Dragon God.
When they first met, Luo He was holding a Xuanwu board, so Senior Qing paid special attention to Luo He.
What is certain is that Luo He only had one legendary kitchen utensil at that time, but a few months later, Luo He actually obtained another one.
This made her mood waver.
"Senior Qing, you just sent the Miasma Dragon to meet the Snow Mountain, and you told such a long story. You must be hungry now."
Luo He suggested: "Why don't we eat first and then talk after eating."
Senior Qing declined politely: "The God of Snow Mountain eats wind and drinks dew, but does not eat grains."
Luo He said deceitfully: "Food is the most important thing for the people. Since you want to understand human emotions, Senior Qing, of course you can't miss human delicacies."
Senior Qing thought for a moment and was successfully persuaded by Luo He:
"In that case, then I will try the food you cook."
In fact, as early as the first meeting, the Jade Dragon God had seen the scene of Luo He having dinner with his pet beasts in the clouds, and was attracted by the aroma.
But Senior Qing has a cold temperament, and it was only now that he finally agreed to taste Luo He's delicacies.
By allowing picky eaters to voluntarily taste the food, Chef Luo has achieved the first step in his goal.
And how to make diners smile and gain satisfactory comments from young seniors is a bigger problem before us.
Luo He looked around: "It doesn't seem good to light a fire and cook in the temple. How about I go outside?"
"It doesn't matter." Senior Qing said, "The Jade Dragon God doesn't stick to trivial matters and won't care about this."
Hearing this, Luo He held the Qilin Jade Pendant and summoned a set of kitchen utensils from it.
Senior Qing stared at the Qilin Jade Pendant.
This space device is indeed magical, and it has the aura of the Qilin clan.
Among them, it can even accommodate totem-level creatures...
At the same time, three pet beasts were summoned by Luo He and met with Senior Qing.
"Hey~" Xiaojiu stood on both feet, raised his hands in the air, and gave a French salute.
"Ugh..." Yuyu looked at Senior Qing and hesitated, not knowing whether to continue asking her for news about her grandma.
"Oh..." Xue Xue hid behind Luo He's trouser legs and looked timidly at Senior Qing.
Senior Qing's eyes passed over the three pet beasts one by one.
The two pet beasts of Luo He, inherited from the Zao Lord, the royal family of the Snow Mountain, are both extraordinary.
In terms of qualifications, Arowana is the most common.
But the token left by the predecessor Jade Dragon God already recognized it, presumably because he was moved by its character.
"We meet again." Senior Qing took the initiative to greet Long Yu.
Yuyu was stunned for a moment, nodded nervously, and then said:
"Ugh..." (I want to know, grandma, is it because of that frost dragon that...)
Senior Qing shook his head slightly: "It was not involved in that war."
Seeing Arowana's hesitation, Senior Qing said softly:
"I know what you are looking for... Just keep your determination, this is the biggest reliance on helping you grow."
Yuyu felt a little confused after hearing this, but still nodded firmly:
"Woo!"
Don't worry.
I have no other good qualities since I was a child, except that I have a stubborn temper!
the other side.
Luo He asked Xiaojiu to help light the fire and took out fresh rouge rice from the Qilin cabinet.
Rouge rice is extremely precious. It is dark red inside and outside. It has a fragrant aroma when cooked and has an excellent taste.
"A Dream of Red Mansions" records a delicacy called 'red rice porridge', which is made from rouge rice. Even Jia's mother regarded it as a valuable thing and could not bear to eat more of it.
Rouge rice in this world is even rarer. If Luo He had not completed the difficult task of 'investigating the haunted house', it would be impossible to obtain such a good product.
Luo He had been keeping this rouge rice before, thinking that he might be able to use it to demonstrate his cooking skills to Senior Qing.
At this moment, with the opportunity in front of him, Chef Luo worked hard and decided to combine royal jelly, snow lotus seeds and other ingredients to make a porridge:
Rock sugar lotus seed rouge porridge.
Porridge will taste better when cooked in a casserole, and the most important raw materials for cooking porridge are rice and water.
Luo He used rouge rice and pure snow water as the two raw materials for this rouge porridge.
On the stove, the casserole was placed on the bright fire. Luo He controlled the heat, waited for time to pass, and then opened the lid of the pot.
The color of the porridge in the pot is like rouge, and the long and thin rouge rice is like agate-colored ivory, exuding a crystal luster.
The porridge soup was filled with white air and fragrant, and the whole lotus seed porridge was like a work of art. Xiao Jiu, who was watching the fire, was dumbfounded.
"Hey!" Xiaojiu lay on the ground on all fours, looked up at Luo He, and stuck out his tongue eagerly.
Luo He smiled and said: "Don't worry, of course you will be part of it."
Xiaojiu stood up on two feet instead, stretched out his two chubby hands and pulled down the corners of Luo He's clothes, showing a satisfied smile.
Senior Qing sniffed the strange fragrance and cast his gaze towards Luo He who was standing next to the stove.
The ordinary porridge could actually emit such a fragrance, which made Senior Qing a little surprised by Luo He's cooking skills.
at the same time.
The sleeping Mouri Kogoro...no, the sleeping Jiang Yueyunanyu wakes up.
The beautiful girl with round hair had air bangs on her forehead, her nose moved slightly, and she murmured in her sleep on the recliner:
"It smells so good, Uncle Cheng, I'll go downstairs to eat right away..."
Jiang Yuenuan opened her eyes and saw a woman in white with a beautiful appearance and refined temperament standing in front of her, extending her right hand towards her.
Xiao Jiangjiang was stunned for a moment, suddenly became sober, and was so shocked that he held his head in both hands:
"Senior, I didn't mean to offend you. Don't let me faint again."
The woman in white remained silent, and finally touched Jiang Yuenuan's head with her hand, then turned and walked towards Luo He.
Senior Qing is not an unreasonable person. Although the girl comes from the Yulong family, as long as her attitude is correct, Senior Qing will not make things difficult for her.
Jiang Yuenuan raised her eyes and looked at Senior Qing's back in confusion.
What does this mean?
Luo He saw Jiang Yuenuan's confusion and said:
"I want you to eat first and then go to bed after eating."
Jiang Yuenuan:?
The woman in white sat down at the dining table and said calmly:
"I know why you came, but you want me to be your patron saint. Don't mention it."
In fact, I have known for a long time that this matter was impossible to accomplish from the beginning.
Jiang Yuenuan sighed dejectedly, but still held a trace of luck and asked without giving up:
"Senior, I would like to ask you...why don't you want to be the patron saint?"
Senior Qing was silent.
In the silence where you can hear the drop of a needle, the fragrance of rouge porridge floats, and a sweet and cold voice sounds:
"No need for a name, the Jade Dragon God will also protect Donghuang."
Luo He and Jiang Yuenuan were stunned at the same time.
In the final analysis, the God of Snow Mountain is one of the gods who protect Donghuang, not just the patron saint of the people of Donghuang.
Luo He thought to himself...even if Jiang Yuenuan didn't ask him to come out, he would still protect Donghuang. It would be meaningless to do anything unnecessary.
But this fundamentally prevented Jiang Yuenuan from trying to recruit the Jade Dragon God to prove his little intentions.
Jiang Yuenuan's eyes flickered and she fell into silence.
Luo He seemed to hear the sound of dreams being shattered and scattered on the ground.
This time, Jiang Yuenuan really felt discouraged.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Yuenuan grew up under the strictness of his father. Even though he tried his best to do his best, he never heard a word of praise from his father.
On the contrary, it is the younger brother who is accompanied by flowers and applause all the way through his life, and his older sister is often compared to him.
Although my childhood routine consisted of eating, sleeping, and beating my younger brother.
But in fact, Jiang Yuenuan doesn't hate Dongyang, she just doesn't know how to express her feelings, and she grew up in a famous family, so she developed an awkward and arrogant personality.
Jiang Yuenuan always wants to prove herself, but often fails. Fortunately, she has an optimistic and strong dragon heart.
But this time, facing the Jade Dragon God's face-to-face rejection, not even Dragon Heart could cheer her up.
All the hard work has turned into a joke once again.
Jiang Yuenuan lowered her head, her frustration filling the air like low pressure.
Luo He suddenly said: "Xiao Jiu."
"Huh?" Xiaojiu raised his head.
"Go and see if she is really crying?" Luo He encouraged.
Jiang Yuenuan quickly raised her cheek and said angrily: "I'm not crying!"
His eyes reflected the handsome young man who was looking at him carefully. Jiang Yue Nuan blushed and looked away, whispering:
"It's just that I'm a little reluctant...but I'm used to it and I'll get better soon."
"You have a strong heart." Senior Qing suddenly said.
Jiang Yuenuan was stunned and looked at the woman in white, unable to believe her ears: "Are you talking about...me? Or Luo He?"
Senior Qing looked at Jiang Yuenuan and said calmly: "You."
Dragon Heart is a very powerful talent.
Senior Qing doesn't like Jiang Yuenuan, but he doesn't deny that this talent can help her become a powerful dragon master.
Xu had just rejected the girl. Senior Qing's attitude became a little softer and he gave some advice:
"It is better to follow your heart than to seek external forces."
"Follow my...original intention?" Jiang Yuenuan asked in confusion.
To put it simply, if you want to prove yourself, you don't need to recruit the Jade Dragon God, as long as she promotes her talents.
If she could become a stronger dragon master than the current patriarch of the Yulong Clan, Jiang Xiangtian, no matter how awkward her temper was, it wouldn't matter.
Of course, Chef Luo doesn't like to talk about such big principles.
Whether it's the mystery of the frost dragon or the troubles of the dragon-controlling girl.
Luo He believes that there is a simple and crude solution.
Luo He brought the rouge porridge, which was like a work of art, to the table, and the aroma was fragrant.
"This is what happened..."
Looking around at Senior Qing and Jiang Yuenuan who were looking at each other, Luo He calmly gave the solution and said:
"Let's eat first."
…
Happy May Day everyone!
Full attendance will be reset tomorrow in May. I will take a day off to go out and play. Let me say orz to everyone in advance.
Although my hips are stretched again, going out should be considered collecting materials...probably!
