The four hundred and sixtieth chapter banquet for the sages
The next day, early morning.
Qi Yuan had been preparing various ingredients early in the morning, and also pulled the Fire Spirit Boy over to help him.
In fact, with Qi Yuan's current Taoism and cooking skills, it doesn't take much effort to pack ordinary ingredients, but some ingredients are delicate and complicated to prepare, so he needs to spend more time preparing them, so he asked the Fire Spirit Boy to come over and help.
Although Huo Lingtong knows nothing about cooking, he is still an accomplished person, and he is still capable of doing some simple auxiliary tasks under his guidance.
In particular, he is extremely skilled in the art of fire walking. With a little guidance, he can help Qi Yuan do a lot of things.
As the sun gradually rose, when a wisp of aroma wafted out of the stove, a burst of laughter came from the distance, and a ray of light flew in.
Before anyone arrived, the hearty laughter could already be heard.
"Haha, is this Qi Baimei who was promoted to Golden Immortal a few days ago?"
The light fell, and a middle-aged man walked out, nine feet tall, with thick eyebrows and a full beard, looking very heroic.
The middle-aged strong man first greeted the ancestor of the Sui people, and then looked at Qi Yuan.
Suiren smiled and nodded, pulled the middle-aged strong man to Qi Yuan, and said, "This is Dayu. You must have heard of his reputation, so I don't need to introduce him to you, right?"
Qi Yuan quickly put down his work and saluted respectfully: "Junior Qi Baimei has met King Yu."
Dayu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be too polite. After saying a few words to him with a generous smile, he went to chat with Suiren and didn't bother Qi Yuan any more to prepare the spiritual meal.
In fact, he came a little early. He should have come back near noon. Otherwise, if a sage came, Qi Yuan would have to stop what he was doing to say hello, and there would be no need to hold a banquet today.
Qi Yuan glanced at Dayu's figure for a few times, and then started to pack up the ingredients for cooking the spiritual meal again.
Qi Yuan still respected Dayu very much.
Although whether it is in history books or folklore, what is mainly spread is the story of Dayu who visited the house three times without entering in order to control floods, in order to praise his achievements.
In fact, Dayu's achievements went beyond flood control. When he was in charge of the throne of the human race, he also made great contributions to the development of the human race.
Not only did he allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, away from the floods that were flooding everywhere at that time, but more importantly, he also ended the social form of the human tribal alliance, established the Xia Dynasty, and created the concept of a country.
From then on, the Nine Provinces human race has always been pursuing unification. From this point of view, Dayu laid the foundation for the future strength of the human race.
Because only by integrating all regions into a unified national system can the various forces avoid constant fighting and killing, and can the common people not become weapons in the hands of various princes, fighting for them and seeking benefits.
Qi Yuan kept moving his hands, picking up various ingredients in a smooth and fluid manner, but he was thinking about gossip in his mind. He heard that Dayu's wife was from the Nine-tailed Sky Fox clan, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.
He was quite curious about this, but since Dayu was a sage of the human race, it was not easy for him to inquire directly.
Because he didn't have much time to prepare more complicated ingredients and dishes, today's banquet was actually relatively simple.
Of course, this so-called relative simplicity means that compared to the Peach Feast, if placed elsewhere, it would already be considered very luxurious.
With his current cooking skills, even if he only has half a day, he can make a rich and delicious meal.
As the aroma of the spiritual meal wafted out, even Dayu couldn't help but turn his eyes.
He has not participated in the last two peach feasts, nor has he tasted the taste of spiritual food. In the past, he has only heard about how delicious Kitchen God's spiritual food is, but after all, he has never tried it himself, so he has no idea about spiritual food in his heart.
concept.
Until now, after smelling the alluring aroma coming from the stove at close range, I was immediately surprised.
Because with his Taoism, which was comparable to that of the Golden Immortal, the desire to eat was actually seduced by the fragrance. Only then did he realize that the saying that a hundred hearings is better than a first sight was indeed true.
The aroma emanating from the pot was already so tempting, and he couldn't wait to taste it now, to see how delicious these spiritual meals were.
Because Qi Yuan prepared a lot of ingredients, he set up several pots and stoves to cook different spiritual meals.
When more and more spiritual meals were cooked and the aroma spread far and wide, many figures suddenly flew in one after another in the light of escape.
Not only the sages from Huoyundongtian came, but also many tribesmen living in Huoyundongtian also gathered here.
Among these people, except for a few who have not yet become immortals, most of the others have already achieved immortality, and a few have even achieved the level of golden immortality.
However, it is understandable once you think about it. To practice in a top cultivation holy place such as Huoyundongtian, there is no shortage of cultivation resources. There are many sages to give guidance, as well as the fonts in the valley where Cangjie lives that can make people realize the Tao, as well as a few golden immortals.
As it should.
These are the descendants and relatives of the saints and sages.
Of course, not all descendants of saints and sages live in the Fire Cloud Cave. In fact, there are more descendants of blood scattered throughout Jiuzhou, and we don’t even know how many generations they have reproduced. It’s just that it is convenient to practice in the Fire Cloud Cave.
It has created so many immortals among these people.
Those sages originally didn't want to come so early, and their descendants, although they knew there was a banquet here today, they felt a little restrained because there were too many elders here, so they didn't originally plan to come.
But when the fragrance of the spiritual meal made by Qi Yuan spread for hundreds of miles, they were immediately attracted to it.
As for those further away, they probably didn’t smell the smell, so they didn’t come over.
Everyone saw that Qi Yuan was busy, so they didn't bother him and stayed about ten feet away chatting. However, their eyes glanced here from time to time.
Especially the dozen or so young children were drooling, especially the fire spirit boy who was closest to the stove and was helping Qi Yuan pack his things.
Because this guy was watching next to Qi Yuan, he was most affected by the aroma of these spiritual meals. If he hadn't dared to mess around in front of many elders, he would have thought of secretly tasting them to satisfy his craving.
Although many people came, Qi Yuan didn't care. Anyway, he had prepared enough ingredients. He could make more of some spiritual meals that were easier to make, which would be enough for everyone to enjoy.
Time passed slowly, and when it was almost noon, even the three emperors came.
They didn't come here just for the taste. With their way of doing things, they didn't care about their appetite. What's more, the ingredients Qi Yuan brought were far inferior to the spiritual meal they enjoyed at the last peach banquet.
The reason why I came here is because it is rare to have a banquet with everyone, so I came to join in the fun with everyone.
"Meet the Holy Emperor."
The arrival of the Three Emperors shocked the juniors, and they all bowed respectfully.
Shen Nong laughed and said: "There is no need to be polite, there are only a few people in Huoyun Cave, and we rarely get together on weekdays.
Today is a rare opportunity for everyone to have some fun together, no need to be restrained, just feel free to do it."
"yes."
Everyone responded one after another.
But it was just a verbal promise. In fact, it was inevitably affected and was not as active as before.
After all, the status of the Three Emperors is too high in their minds, and it is impossible for them, the younger generation, to talk and laugh freely in front of the elders they admire the most.
The Three Emperors didn't care about this and turned around directly to go to Suiren's group.
Based on their status, of course they are with old people like Suiren and Chao.
Others, such as Taihao, Dayu and others, can only be regarded as good juniors in front of them. Not to mention their achievements, even their Taoist strength is far behind them.
Qi Yuan's multi-tasking movements are fast, but full of beauty like flowing clouds and flowing water. With sword energy flashing outside his body, he carves some fruits and vegetables into exquisite patterns of flowers, birds, fish, insects, etc., then arranges them on various plates, and then puts them out of the pot.
Put in all kinds of spiritual food dishes, and you will immediately make beautiful dishes.
These spiritual meals are not only exquisite, but also attractive in color and fragrant. People can't help but move their index fingers when they see them, but they can't bear to destroy the beauty.
To be honest, just seeing these spiritual meals has already made many people's hearts flutter, especially those whose Taoism is not too advanced, they are all amazed.
In the past, they had never thought that meals could be as good as this. Not only did the taste attract their attention, but the beautiful artistic conception when the dishes came out also made them sigh in their hearts.
Everyone thinks this is real food.
Not only the enjoyment brought by the taste, but also the visual enjoyment is also an ultimate enjoyment.
There are not many attendants in Huoyundongtian. Even people like Huo Lingtong who serve the ancestors of the Suiren clan are also their own descendants.
Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Qi Yuan was busy with the last few dishes and asked Huo Lingtong to call a few friends to help serve the dishes.
Except for the Three Emperors and the Suiren clan, Youchao clan and some other great sages who were their predecessors, the rest of the people did not need them to deliver their dishes to the table one by one. They were all immortals who knew the Tao and Dharma, so there was no need for that trouble.
With a wave of their sleeves, Huolingtongzi and others used their magic power to send the spiritual meals to everyone in the air. When they landed on the table, not even a drop of the soup would be spilled, which was convenient and fast.
For a time, empty plates and bowls, and countless exquisite dishes flew across the void, and the scene was quite spectacular.
At the same time, Qi Yuan also contributed a lot of fairy wine.
As the head of the Kitchen God Division and the master of the Wine God Liu Ling, he naturally has all kinds of fairy wine.
When the last spiritual meal was ready, Qi Yuan cleaned it up. Before he could finish it, Suiren called him: "Okay, just leave those trivial matters to Huo Ling'er and the other juniors. Come quickly and follow me."
Let’s get to know each other.”
After hearing this, Qi Yuan quickly put down his work and handed over the trivial tasks of washing the pots and cleaning up the remaining ingredients on the kitchen utensils to Huo Lingtong and others. These little guys who were originally full of joy and thought they could sit over and enjoy the delicious food, suddenly
I cried secretly in my heart.
Unfortunately, they are all juniors. If they don't do these chores, who will do them?
They had no choice but to grimace one by one and use spells to clean up the final work as quickly as possible, so that they could finish it quickly and enjoy the delicious food of the spiritual meal.
While he was busy, a thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the Fire Spirit Boy, and he said abruptly: "After we finish eating, we will still be responsible for cleaning and washing the dishes, right?"
As soon as he said this, several other weak little guys around him immediately raised their heads and rolled their eyes at him, muttering something like a crow's mouth in a low voice.
Qi Yuan came forward with a smile. He first bowed to the Three Emperors with his head, and then greeted the seniors and sages.
Suiren took him and smiled at the other sages: "This is Qi Baimei. He has done a lot of things over the past hundreds of years. You have all heard of his reputation, so I won't say more."
Youchao, who always liked to argue with him, snorted lightly, but there were too many people here today, and in front of the Three Emperors and all the sages, he was embarrassed to argue with Suiren, so he didn't say anything.
Suiren smiled and pretended not to notice Chao's actions, and pulled Qi Yuan to introduce everyone's identities to him one by one.
Originally, he planned to spend a few days taking Qi Yuan to slowly visit these sages, but today's banquet brought everyone together, which saved him a lot of time.
Here, Qi Yuan met many sages, including the Five Emperors, the Zhenyi clan, the Huaxu clan, the Yanzi clan, Leizu and others.
In addition, there are many sages whose reputations are not too famous, but they have also made a lot of contributions to the human race. However, they are not the leaders of one party. Most of them are ministers who assisted the human king in ancient times. One was killed by the human king.
They were obscured from the limelight, and because there were no written records in ancient times, very few stories about their deeds were spread in later generations, so their reputation was not obvious.
