Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh ants climb the tree, locusts take off
"Daddy..."
Qi Jinchan was the first to jump over, holding her father's arm and looking towards the Black Lotus of Destruction.
When he saw the suppressed scorpion demon inside the lotus platform, he couldn't help but laugh: "You actually dared to covet my sword pill. How about it? Do you regret it now?"
Xie Sanniang sat cross-legged in the middle of the lotus platform. When she heard this, she looked up and looked outside. She saw that Qi Jinchan's little face, which originally looked quite childish, seemed to have turned into a huge thing that covered the sky and the sun, as if it was just a face.
It can cover the entire sky.
Of course, this is not because Qi Jinchan has such great magical powers, but because she is suppressed within the lotus platform space.
The lotus platform was turned into the size of a fist by Qi Yuan and held in the palm of his hand, so she naturally became smaller. Looking out through the inner space of the black lotus, it was naturally like this.
Qi Yuan ignored Xie Sanniang who was suppressed, but smiled and touched his son's head. He didn't look indifferent at all when he faced the Bodhisattva just now: "Let's go, daddy will prepare something delicious for you."
"Very good."
Qi Jinchan cheered happily: "What delicious food will daddy give us?"
Qi Yuan smiled slightly and looked down: "There are so many ingredients all over the mountains and plains, there will definitely be enough for you to eat."
"Well……"
Qi Jinchan, who had been full of joy just now, was stunned when he heard this, and he glanced down suspiciously.
Then, apart from countless poisonous insects, no other living creatures were seen in the dense mountain forest.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but shudder and said with a look of horror, "Dad, are you planning to use those poisonous insects as food?"
Qi Yuan smiled, revealing his crystal white teeth: "My son is smart."
"How do you eat those poisonous insects?"
Qi Jinchan cried with a mournful face.
Just looking at the densely packed poisonous insects below made his scalp numb. His father actually used these things as ingredients?
Just thinking about eating these weird-looking bugs in his stomach made him feel awkward all over. He quickly waved his little hands: "I won't eat it. I won't eat it. Daddy, let's go quickly. The mountains and plains here are full of poisonous bugs."
,too horrible."
"hehe……"
Qi Yuan smiled and said: "If you don't want to eat, just watch from the side. How can dad still force you to eat?"
While he was talking, he reached out and caught an unknown number of scorpions, centipedes, poisonous locust ant eggs, silkworm pupae, several colorful poisonous snakes, and other poisonous substances from the forest.
As for those monsters that had already been cultivated and formed, they had already scattered and fled after Xie Sanniang was suppressed by him into the Black Lotus of Destruction.
This also made Qi Yuan secretly criticize Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Originally, he planned to catch some more monsters that had been cultivated into spirits, but because of her interference, he didn't catch any monsters. He could only pick up the fat ones from the mountains full of poisonous insects and alien beasts that had not yet developed their intelligence.
Collected some and brought them over.
Then he led a few people directly to the Pipa Cave.
Because Xie Sanniang did not expect to end up like this when she came out, so she did not close the cave door.
In fact, it is useless even if it is turned off. Xie Sanniang's understanding of the formation restrictions is relatively superficial. Compared with Qi Yuan, the direct descendant of Jiejiao, it is not difficult to crack her palace-protecting formation.
There is a special cave in the cave. Not only is this the place where the entire mountain's spiritual veins gather, but the various arrangements are also very exquisite. It seems that as the scorpion demon has become more advanced, he has also learned to cultivate his mind and nature, and how to enjoy life.
Qi Lingyun said in surprise: "I didn't expect that in this mountain with countless poisonous insects, there would be such a blessed place for cultivation?"
"normal."
Yang Jian nodded and said: "This is the saying that things must be reversed when they reach their extremes.
Although Poison Mountain is high in mountains and densely forested, and poisonous miasma is everywhere, which breeds countless poisonous insects, this place where spiritual veins gather is created by heaven and earth. It has its own magic, and it can indeed be called a blessed place for cultivation."
They were discussing the magical features of this cave here, and He Ling'er looked at some fairy grass growing on a rockery in the cave with some surprise.
These are actually several special strains of fairy grass, which have powerful detoxification effects. If they are refined into elixirs and one pill is taken, even if the three poisoned souls are separated from the body and the seven souls are helpless, the physical body can still be repaired.
The little girl was overjoyed.
With these unique fairy grasses, the heritage of Emei's elixir garden can be enhanced a bit.
She flew forward directly, her sword wings appeared behind her, and she was about to dig up those fairy grasses. Suddenly she stopped again, her sword wings swept across the ground, and actually moved the entire rockery off the ground and put it into a medicine cauldron.
.
This is a space magic weapon that she unearthed from the Emei treasure house a few years ago. However, because the space is not too big, it is not taken seriously. This is why it was not opened up by the Emei Sword Sect as a spiritual medicine garden. Later, it fell into disuse.
into her hands.
It just so happens that this girl also has a hobby of transplanting various elixirs from outside to home. Every time she goes out with Qi Lingyun, she can harvest some elixirs and temporarily plant them in the medicine cauldron during the transplantation process, which can ensure that
The vitality of elixirs.
After moving the entire rockery into the medicine cauldron, her big eyes couldn't help but narrow into a slit with joy. Then she looked around again, putting away the elixir when she saw it, and moving it when she saw the spiritual tree.
Several spiritual trees that could only be used for viewing but could not bear fruit were also collected by her.
Although such spiritual trees may not seem to be of much use, after all, they are spiritual trees that have survived for more than a thousand years. Even if they are sent as materials to the weapon refining hall, they can still refine several Yimu spirit swords.
Because there were no poisonous insects in this cave except those that his father was still playing around with, Qi Jinchan quickly regained his energy and followed He Ling'er with her in a hurry.
Find the elixir.
He regarded this process as a treasure hunt and found it very fun.
After all, it is the cave of the Jinxian Demon King, and Xie Sanniang originally had many monsters, big and small, who took refuge under her command, so her cave is not small at all, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many monsters.
Soon, Qi Lingyun couldn't help but feel itchy and joined their treasure hunting team.
Except for exploring the Golden Immortal Demon King's cave in Huangfengling once, they have never entered the mansion of other great demon kings. And the scorpion spirit has been operating in Poison Mountain for tens of thousands of years, and the treasures accumulated are more than
There were many more Yellow Wind Kings back then.
There are also a few things that can be found in the places where monsters and monsters live. Even if the level is not too high, the quantity is quite large, so the three of them have a great time playing the treasure hunt game.
Neither Qi Yuan nor Yang Jian cared about it.
As early as when they first came in, they had scanned it several times with their spiritual consciousness. Of course they knew that there was no danger in this cave at this time, so they allowed them to play as they pleased.
Qi Yuan began to process various ingredients.
With his current Taoist cultivation and understanding of spiritual food, although there are a lot of these ingredients, it really doesn't take much trouble for him to handle them.
As the sword light on his body flashed, the tail hooks of poisonous scorpions were chopped off, and the poison glands of huge centipedes were removed.
In fact, when eating ordinary centipedes, you do not need to remove the poison glands separately, because most centipede poisons have no effect when taken orally, and poisoning only occurs when you are stung by them.
It's just that this centipede from Poison Mountain is different after all. For such a large body, its toxicity is astonishingly powerful. Although Qi Yuan's Taoism is not afraid of such a small amount of poison, there is no need to poison himself.
However, the most troublesome thing to deal with is the poisonous locusts.
If you want to cook these locusts, you need to remove the heads, limbs, wings and internal organs. After cleaning, they need to be boiled in salt water and then drained and dried before frying. The processing is relatively complicated.
The poisonous locusts he caught were only about the size of a thumb, while the big ones were more than a foot long. Each one had a ferocious mouthpart, strong hind limbs, and powerful jumping. Even the smallest one could jump several feet. If it weren't for Qi Yuanzhen's attack,
Yuan Jinzhao might have already escaped as fast as flying.
Now that he has mastered the art of swordsmanship, slender sword energy emerged out of thin air with his mind. Under the precise control of his countless divine thoughts, he quickly processed these ingredients.
Heat the oil pan until it is 40% hot, put in the grasshoppers, and fry them until golden in color. After taking them out, they are the simplest deep-fried grasshoppers. Sprinkle some seasonings on them and you can eat them.
But of course Qi Yuan would not just cook such a dish, as that would really not highlight his cooking skills.
Besides, there were so many grasshoppers caught by him, so of course he had to do a few more tricks.
Then he took out sliced ginger, prepared chili pepper, and several other seasonings.
Since the spread of spiritual chefs throughout the three realms, many spiritual chefs trying to launch new dishes to become famous have been trying various ingredients. Finally, a few spiritual chefs found the ingredient chili.
However, the original chili pepper was called Chaotian pepper, which was a spicy elixir that grew in the land of fire spirits. It has been used as an auxiliary material for refining several rare fire elixirs.
Later, it was transplanted and cultivated by some spiritual chefs. After hundreds of years, it has adapted to various climates and produced a variety of different peppers. It is a popular ingredient and supplement among contemporary spiritual chefs.
Qi Yuan put some oil in the bottom of the pot, first added Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fried for a while, then added chili peppers and ginger slices to sauté until fragrant, then added grasshoppers and stir-fried, adding fine salt and seasonings when they were almost cooked.
When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle some chopped green onion, and a strong aroma spreads far away, quickly attracting several little guys who are searching the cave.
There is a dragon-patterned Ruyi pot to control the heat, and the spiritual energy in these grasshoppers is not very strong, so Qi Yuan's cooking seems very casual.
During the cooking process, I even had the time to take out a piece of Ganoderma lucidum and carve a flying phoenix as a decorative plate flower.
Of course, he doesn't do such extravagant behavior often. Today, it was just on a whim. He was too lazy to pull out the carrot from the Thunder Cauldron of Creation, so he took a piece of Ganoderma lucidum.
After the cooked dishes were put on the jade plate, decorated with vivid phoenixes, it seemed that the dish was much more upscale.
"Daddy, daddy, what kind of food is this?"
Qi Lingyun looked over curiously.
“This dish is called Locust Tengda!”
Qi Yuan smiled slightly and said.
"Locust Tengda?"
Qi Jinchan looked at the fragrant spiritual meal in front of him. He was still salivating at first, but when he saw the appearance of those locusts clearly, he suddenly shuddered.
Among the countless poisonous insects that attacked them before, these locusts were quite numerous. They had ferocious mouthparts and terrifying faces. Such poisonous insects would certainly not taste good!
So he thought.
So he shook his head firmly and looked elsewhere.
Qi Yuan didn't care what his son was thinking. He made several dishes of grasshoppers in spicy, stir-fried, braised, dry-fried, deep-fried, etc., and the whole cave was full of them.
All have fragrances wafting out, which are extremely tempting.
Then he started frying scorpions, frying centipedes, stewing snake soup, boiling snake segments, frying and frying. Finally, he steamed some fragrant and soft pancakes and spread the cooked ant eggs with the sauce.
On top, add a few scallions and vegetables, roll them up and eat together. One bite will fill your mouth with fragrance and taste great.
The ant eggs in Dudi Mountain are larger than soybeans and plump. They are much larger than ordinary ants and are quite interesting to chew. In addition, Qi Yuan also specializes in using other spiritual creatures as auxiliary ingredients to make them
Full of energy and chewy texture.
Finally, he made an interesting ant climb up the tree and put some ant eggs on it, which was quite refreshing to suck.
"Come on, come on, the food is ready. Come and try it and see how it tastes?"
Qi Yuan put down the cooking utensils in his hand and with a wave of his hand, plates of spiritual meals flew to the stone table, inviting his uncle and several children to sit down and taste them together.
Qi Jinchan held her sister's lapel and refused to sit down. She said firmly: "Those poisonous insects are so ugly and frightening, I won't eat them."
"real?"
Qi Lingyun looked at him suspiciously, why hadn't he noticed that his brother was so afraid of bugs before?
But that's right, there are so many poisonous insects in this poisonous enemy mountain that even I was startled at first. The densely packed appearance can easily make people feel fearful.
She persuaded softly: "Don't worry, daddy has cooked the poisonous insects, can they still bite you?"
"If you don't want to eat, I won't eat. Even if you kill me, I won't eat."
Qi Jinchan shook his head: "If you want to eat it, you can eat it. I would rather go hungry than eat it."
"Oh well."
Qi Lingyun waved his hand grandly: "When I get back to the mountain, my sister will go to Lingshan Hall to treat you to something delicious."
With that said, he brought all the plates of spiritual food that originally belonged to Qi Jinchan in front of him, ready to feast on them.
As early as when her father was still cooking, she had already secretly tasted a few bites. Naturally, she knew how delicious these spiritual meals made from poisonous insects were, and of course she would not offend her stomach.
As for going to Lingshan Hall to eat after returning to the mountain, she would not have to spend any money, so the promise was certainly very grand.
