Li Yueshan looked at the disciples who stayed at the stove and refused to leave after eating.
He stared, holding the bent spatula in his hand and said: "You won't sleep tonight, and you will sleep during the day tomorrow. Why don't you want the old man to watch over you alone that night?"
No matter what time or place the kitchen team is, someone must guard it day and night.
How can this old man do it alone? The old man didn’t take you as his apprentice for nothing!
That’s it!
I’ve watched an old man fry his little girl,
Xiuxiu, you and Zhaodi - Qingmiao go to rest first.
Gou Sheng, Zhu'er, you two stay,
Watch me teach you, senior brother, how to fry squid.
At midnight,
Pearl, you and senior brother go to rest,
The dog is left here,
Wait and see if there is still a chance to fry another little one."
Master made arrangements,
All the disciples also agreed.
Although Qingmiao also wanted to stay and watch how Xiaogui was fried, she was thin-skinned after all and did not dare to ask for anything.
So he nodded slightly,
I took the mute girl Xiuxiu to the temple to rest.
In a blink of an eye,
There were only four people left in the open space in front of the bamboo forest.
There is no moonlight in the sky,
All around is pitch black,
Only the fire in the temple and the fire in the eyes of the three-burner stove burned out some bright outlines from the darkness.
"Gou Shengzi, you and Zhuer help us.
You are responsible for bringing the firewood,
Zhu'er is in charge of lighting the fire!" Li Yueshan made arrangements, feeling that it would be different if there were more disciples. Even carrying firewood and lighting the fire could be done by two people.
He pulled out the python skin bag from under the table,
Most of the python skin bag has shriveled up,
Lifting the mouth of the python,
Facing the coarse porcelain bowl, a handful of white rice grains were spat from the snake's mouth into the coarse porcelain bowl.
The general filled the coarse porcelain bowl halfway, and the fat old man pinched the snake's neck tightly and stuffed it back into his cloth bag.
"Place this bowl of soul-removing rice on the stove in the middle."
Master told Su Wu like this,
He also did not forget to tell the other two disciples: "Don't let the other two stoves go out. Check them from time to time!"
It doesn't matter if the fire isn't burning brightly,
The important thing is to keep the fire burning!”
"I understand, Master!" Gou Sheng and Li Zhuer both responded quickly.
Su Wu brought the half bowl of soul-removing rice to the stove.
The fat old man did not forget to hand over two empty bowls and placed them on both sides of the half bowl of soul-sucking rice.
He moved the pottery pot with a pattern of a group of people dancing around the flames to the edge of the stove, stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the firewood pot, then pulled out the stopper of the pot and slowly poured out the 'fried oil' that was as black as petroleum inside.
Put into hot pot.
Wow——
Pour the frying oil along the side of the pot,
There was a sound of fat being cooked,
Wisps of green smoke also drifted away.
Pour half the frying oil into the firewood pot. While the oil was still hot, Li Yueshan said to Su Wu: "The three most important things for a stove owner are rice, deep-frying oil, and fire in the stove.
There are these three things,
Then you can travel all over the world without fear.
If you are missing any one of these three things, you won't be able to go anywhere!
The old man also told you before about the soul-collecting rice and how the firewood in the stove came from.
Today I’m going to talk to you specifically about this fried oil!”
"Yes." Su Wu responded quietly, listening to the master's words meticulously.
"The oil used for deep-frying,
In fact, it is no different from the cooking oil that ordinary people eat.
Even lard and various animal oils can be used as the basic oil for this fried oil.
The key is that,
You heat up this pot of ordinary cooking oil,
You have to find a trick and try to throw it into the oil pan and fry it.
As long as it is fried in strong fat,
It's all fried oil.
The more powerful the trick is thrown into the oil and fried, the stronger the oil will be, and the more powerful the trick will be, the more it can tighten and seal the big trick imprisoned in the soul-collecting mill so that it cannot escape!
Our Yinximai once had a pot of old oil,
Exploded no less than twenty big tricks,
That pot of fried oil is so powerful, even if it's Li Ju summoned by turning on the nine-eye stove, it can fry it on the spot!
It's a pity that future generations can't help,
The old oil was spoiled and sold to other Kitchen God Divine Veins.
Now my pot of fried oil is passed down from your master.
In total, only two big tricks were exploded.
One of them almost ran away."
Li Yueshan also feels sad when mentioning the past.
Su Wu listened carefully to the master's story and raised his own question at the right time: "Master, the more the stove is opened, the stronger will be the summoned Ligui?"
"Yes Yes."
Li Yueshan nodded, pointed to the firewood stoves on the left and right sides, and said: "In the Stove King Sect, those who can set up a stove team are the ones with the lowest three-burner stove.
The fires burning in two of the stoves are life-protecting fires.
The stove used to heat up the oil for deep-frying is burning a soul-burning fire.
They are all firewood invited from the heart of man,
After the ignition of various fuels, fires of different properties are differentiated.
Needless to say, the function of soul-burning fire is
Life-protecting fire, as its name suggests, is used to save the lives of people like us.
After all, sometimes the soul-burning fire suddenly summons spooks who do not meet its level. If these spooks don't like the soul-collecting rice on the stove, they will turn to kill people.
At this time, the role of the life-protecting fire can be reflected."
"Then, will there be a time when the life-protecting fire is useless and can't prevent the evil spirits?" Gou Sheng piled firewood as high as a hill around the stove mouth, and happened to hear the master explaining the differences of the three-eye stove fire.
, so I asked a little timidly.
The fat old man nodded indifferently: "Of course there is.
Working in the Zao team, dealing with Li Gui all day long,
How can we not run into dangerous situations several times?"
Gou Sheng felt that the surroundings were pitch black and there was no protection, as if there was a dark wind coming from all directions. He shrank his neck and couldn't help but ask: "What should I do if I can't hold back my life-saving fire?"
Wow——
Li Yueshan took a ladle and scooped out a ladle of hot oil.
Then slowly pour it into the pot,
The black oil is boiling in the hot pot, emitting a smell that is both hot and cold.
There was an indescribable light in his eyes,
Holding the pipe and pot in his mouth, he grinned and said: "Look at it however you want, just do it with it.
We are not vegetarians,
There is also hot oil, there is soul-collecting rice, there is also fire.
it wants to kill you,
If you don't fight it, why don't you stick your neck out and let it kill you?"
Gou Shengzi shrank his neck and stopped talking.
Turning to look at Su Wu who was standing next to the master,
He saw Su Wu looking slightly sideways,
His eyes glanced at the old locust tree at the intersection of the road ahead.
What's on the old locust tree?
Gou Sheng followed Su Wu's gaze and turned to look at the old locust tree.
Under the cover of darkness,
On the branches of the old locust tree as rugged as chicken feet,
Wearing a pair of red embroidered shoes, a three-inch golden lotus girl stood up on tiptoes, lightly stepping on the treetops with her toes.
Bright red, the skirt embroidered with flowers sways in the wind,
A pair of green and white slender palms hung from the cuffs,
There are deep marks on the neck,
The hemp rope was soaked with blood,
So that there were drops of blood slowly falling to the ground,
Click, click...
Look up again,
Gou Sheng saw a purple-red face with melon seeds,
On the melon seed's face, his eyes were bulging, and a purple tongue struggled to break out of his mouth, hanging down to the tip of his chin like a dog's tongue!
When Gou Sheng was looking at ‘that thing’ on the treetops,
The other party also tilted his head,
The bloodshot right eyeball rolled out of its socket.
It reached out to catch its fallen right eye, and its bloody, empty eye socket faced Gou Shengzi,
The hair of Gou Shengzi, who was not even fifteen years old, was so frightened that his hair stood on end.
Before Gou Shengzi could say anything,
Master Li Yueshan has already spoken: "It's a hanging trick, it should be Mu Xing's little trick.
Great apprentice,
Come on, put on your gloves!
The old man will teach you how to explode in a moment!"
Su Wu withdrew his gaze and accepted a pair of gloves handed over by his master.
The gloves were sewn from the leather of an unknown animal.
It is covered with pale white spots.
He put on his gloves,
Li Yueshan was heard yelling at Gou Sheng who was stunned, "Set the fire, burn the fire, what are you doing standing there?
Gou Shengzi,
Go and light up the fire in the left and right stoves!"
"Eh!"
"good!"
Both disciples responded quickly.
Li Zhuer immersed herself in filling the current stove hole with firewood.
Due to the influence of the strange charm flowing around, the flames that were somewhat dimmed suddenly burst into flames!
The fried oil in the pot suddenly made a sizzling sound!
on the treetops,
The hanging ghost in red fell down at some point,
Its body is stiff,
like a statue,
The rope around the neck is dragging it,
Let it float like a piece of clothing hanging on a hanger, and suddenly float to the stove where Su Wu and others are standing.
Li Yueshan looked at Li Jui who was close at hand,
His face remains as usual,
He turned to look at Su Wu,
He found that Su Wu also looked calm, as if he was not frightened.
The look of satisfaction in the fat old man's eyes suddenly became a little thicker: "Good apprentice, we heat up the oil in the stove at night just to lure little tricksters like this into frying.
The so-called small tricks and big tricks are only relative.
Compared with the one you encountered in Tanjiacun, this hanging ghost is
That's Xiaogui,
But there may not be other tricks smaller than it.
——You will always have a chance to meet me in the future!"
The big tricks and small tricks in the mouth of the stove master are not a clear classification of the horror levels of trickery.
It is a comparative difference between strength and weakness.
Su Wu can understand what Master said,
He nodded in response.
This division is really rough,
In the future, I can introduce the more subtle classification system of 'haunting, misfortune, famine and disaster' in later generations.
"Dagui is suitable for being a divine embryo.
Xiaogui gathered the five elements to make the five internal organs of the spirit.
At this point, disciple, you only need to remember one thing - don't let the fortunes of these little tricks used to make the five internal organs of the gods match up with the fate of the big tricks, and they will form a number of nine, two and nine.
If their fate weights are added up, there are exactly nine or two.
Then there is nothing you can do to allow the five internal organs of this divine spirit to be installed in the divine embryo!"
Li Yueshan reminded Su Wu in a serious voice,
This kind of on-the-spot teaching is often very effective.
It allows disciples to remember Master's words very firmly, and they can be verified on the spot.
When Master is talking,
The Hanged Man has already got into the half bowl of rice to steal the soul rice to eat.
And as it got into the bowl of rice,
Grains of rice kept popping up into the air, and then fell again!
