"Ahem, everyone is here. Vertex 23S. The fastest update."
Shen Feng patted Lin Chou on the shoulder, and the boss came over with a big thumbs up,
"Linzi, well done! You really make Mr. Mingguang proud!"
Lin Chou had a dark look on his face.
Take another shot, "I was the last one to come out, good boy, I have been waiting for you for more than an hour, hahahaha."
Lin Chou said,
"When did Lao Bai come out? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Bai Qiong's head jumped up as if he had been pricked by a needle, and walked away quickly.
"Ask about suicide again!!"
"..." Lin Chou said in a low voice with a confused look on his face, "Old Bai, what's going on?"
Shen Feng chuckled,
"This man, as soon as he passes the threshold of thirty or forty, all his problems will appear. Even if you are an evolved and awakened person, you can't escape the laws of nature. Frequent urination at night, enlarged prostate, etc. are all trivial matters. The most important thing is Yes...hehehaha...you know, alas, Master Shiba is used to one man being in charge of all others, so he may not be able to accept it. Long live your understanding, ha, long live your understanding, don't blame me."
"Shen Feng, I will kill you!!"
...
The old grandma came out of nowhere and changed into clothes with gold thread embedded in them. Of course, the material was still burlap.
"Mr. Lin, distinguished guests, please come this way. I will entertain you for dinner."
After passing through several corridors with carved beams and painted beams and covered with thick velvet carpets, everyone came to a hall again.
The architectural structure of this hall is very strange. There are no walls on all four sides, and it is only supported by dozens of columns. All of them are carved into the shapes of various exotic animals, and none of them are the same.
Thick and brilliant scrolls hung between the pillars, like scenes of hard mats adorned with various precious stones, extremely gorgeous.
Lin Chou took a deep breath,
"Thangka? So many thangkas??"
The old grandma smiled heartily,
"Mr. Lin has a good eye. This is a precious antiquity preserved in Luan Mountain before the catastrophe, called thangka."
Shen Feng touched it curiously, "Hey, the texture of satin?"
The old grandma nodded,
"These thangkas are woven with materials such as silk and satin, and pearls, jade and precious stones are embellished with gold threads. The beads are perfectly matched and the golden color shines. This is my king's favorite art."
Shen Feng thought slowly,
"The gold you see along the way alone can buy half of a scientific research institute."
Lin Chou said longingly,
"Thangka is a treasure of Tibetan culture. It has distinctive characteristics, strong religious color and unique artistic style, making it unique. It depicts the sacred world of Buddha with bright colors, using gold, silver, pearls, agate, coral, turquoise, Malachite, cinnabar and other precious mineral gems are inlaid and embellished, and saffron, rhubarb, indigo and other plants are used as pigments to show their sacredness. These natural raw materials ensure that the painted thangkas are bright and dazzling, even after hundreds of years. , the color is still as bright and bright as new, and it is an incredible fate to be able to see it again today.”
Shen Feng looked confused,
"Lin Chou, didn't you come from an alley in Xiacheng District? How could you have seen such... something?"
Lin Chou sighed, his eyes flickering,
"There used to be a family in the alley, and there was a thangka hanging on the wall. It was just as dirty as a piece of felt that was used to keep out the wind and rain. The gems and other things on it had long since disappeared, and even the patterns were gone. I couldn't tell it at all... Later, there was a... ahem, a neighbor who lived in the alley, and it was she who recognized and bought this thangka."
"After a very complicated cleaning process, this golden and beautiful thangka shocked everyone. No one could have imagined that a dirty piece of felt could be such a precious ancient relic."
"The family also relied on this thangka to buy a large store and buy real estate outside. They also had a small amount of savings. Later, their life was very good."
Shen Feng didn't notice Lin Chou's strange expression, he just said "oh" and stopped paying attention.
The old grandma clapped her hands and said,
"A good story, a good story."
Lin Chou coughed and sat in the chair,
"Mommy, when will the ceremony start?"
"Dignified guests have to wait. Luanshan's rule is that the celebration is held at midnight, so you still have to eat more wine and snacks. After all, it will last all night."
The old grandma shook her gray eyebrows and said with a naughty childish smile,
"I know that evolved people cannot afford to go hungry."
After that, clap your hands.
The maids in white gauze came out from behind each thangka like butterflies wearing flowers, and plates of exquisite dishes were instantly placed on the long table.
The old grandma served the dishes in an elegant and friendly manner,
"Mr. Lin must try this, the moon is in the sky."
"oh?"
Lin Chou took a quick look and saw that what was contained in the disc, which was the size of a normal pot, was a toad-like monster lying on its back.
This toad-like monster does not have the disgusting spots like a toad. Its back is as golden as if it were made of gold and it has only three webbed feet.
Its belly is a very pure silvery white, in a standard round shape, with a bright yellow stripe like a mosquito coil on it.
The old grandma explained,
"According to the ancient legend of Luan Mountain, this is a monster from the hell of the demon world, named Yue Ma. It lives in underground cold caves thousands of meters deep in the demon world. It only comes out of the cave to sing at the blood moon when the moon turns red. , they mate and lay eggs after sucking the essence and aura of the blood-sucking moon. Its oily naan, also known as the ovaries, has an unparalleled flavor, and it is also a beautiful thing to serve distinguished guests with it."
Shen Feng was stunned at first, then said disdainfully,
"It is both a demon world and a hell, so how did it come to the human world?"
The old grandma is not angry either,
"It's just an old legend. Maybe it's just a rare beast. Who knows?"
"However, regarding its origin, according to the legend of Luan Mountain, it was the first batch of moon ant eggs brought back after being tasted in the hell of the demon world by a king with great knowledge, talent, and superior martial arts. The king's name was Shenqu- Richard - Shock - Liu, his name is very complicated, the surname in the middle is mixed with many uncommon titles and honorifics, I am too old and can only remember so much."
Everyone was stunned for a while, this name is so weird.
The old woman used a silver table knife to gently cut open the snow-white belly of the moon ant. Silver-white toad seeds the size of fish eyes were wrapped in golden oil and rolled out steamingly. The astonishing fragrance suddenly filled the air. In the entire hall, even if there are no walls on all sides and the breeze blows, it can't dispel this fragrance.
What's even more amazing is that when the golden fat soaks into the disc, the apparently black plate gradually becomes translucent and emits a deep light, with the falling toad seeds shining like stars.
Bai Qiongsou murmured to himself,
"Is this what the moon and the stars look like...It's so beautiful..."
Lin Chou was shocked by this dish, let alone the others, who were already dumbfounded.
