Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

It never occurred to him that the "three people" in front of him were actually not human for a long time, and if they were to be burned, they would be burned to death first. Compared to resurrecting their souls with corpses, Xia Xiaoqiao at least had a body, and one of them, ahem, had no body. The bodies of the other two are also expired commodities that have been preserved for hundreds of years after embalming.

Since everyone is non-human, there is no need to be suspicious of each other. Xia Xiaoqiao was very touched when he found that Jiang Yuanzhen and the others really did not dislike him. Not everyone can easily accept that the friends around him are not created by people like humans. In modern times, because he is busy earning money to support his family, basically except for private restaurants and vegetable markets, he has no friends at two points and one line. He never thought that in this strange era, he would be lucky to have such a good friend (what he thought he was) ), as soon as he was happy, he wanted to celebrate.

"Have you ever eaten hot pot? Why don't we make hot pot today?"

"Hot pot?" Several natives were dumbfounded. They understand both "fire" and "pot". What the hell is "hot pot"?Is it a burning pot?

"It must be cooking! The old slave once saw Xia Xiaolang cooking, and the pot was on fire!" Huang Gou'er said with certainty.

"No matter what Xiaoqiao cooks, it's delicious." Jiang Yuanzhen has fallen into blind trust in his lover.

There are a lot of ingredients needed to eat hot pot, but the conditions here are simple, and there is no way to pay so much attention. Xia Xiaoqiao asked the guards to help catch a few wild pheasants and bring them back to the bottom of the pot. He is going to make a chicken soup hot pot.The best native chickens that are more than one year old are slaughtered and cut into pieces, fried in vegetable oil and stewed in soup. After eating the chicken inside, the remaining chicken soup can be eaten with vegetables. This has the advantage that it doesn’t matter if you don’t eat spicy food , If you like spicy food, you can add some spicy dipping sauce.

Cut a bit of the finished tofu, fried it into oily tofu, took out the flour to wash out the gluten, soaked some dried mushrooms and fungus, went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, and rolled some handmade noodles. Thin slices of the leftover venison were marinated for later use, and the minced meat was minced to make vegetable meatballs. I was worried that the hot pot would not be full, so I made some dumplings.

After getting a hot pot for the guards, Xia Xiaoqiao took the chopsticks and began to demonstrate the correct way to eat the hot pot.

"In this way, you can throw in whatever you want to eat, and be careful of scalding. Generally, vegetables are boiled, but meat takes a longer time. Meat slices are cooked faster than meatballs. If you want spicy food, I made oily spicy peppers here. , everyone can use a small plate to serve some separately, try it first, don't take too much, this chili is very spicy."

The bright red oily and hot peppers made everyone daunted, but seeing Xia Xiaoqiao's delicious food, Jiang Yuanzhen couldn't help but fish out a piece of venison boiled and dipped it in Xia Xiaoqiao's spicy dish.

"Phew~~ Enjoyable!" Most men like spicy food, Jiang Yuanzhen fell in love with the hot and spicy taste after only one bite, and took the initiative to scoop up two spoonfuls of oily spicy peppers and put them in his bowl. Seeing him like this , Cui Shijing also scooped up a spoon and tried it, his eyes lit up immediately, and he directly pulled the clay pot containing the spicy oil to his side.

"Can you taste it?" A demon can actually eat, Jiang Yuanzhen said that his three views have been broken.

"Hehe~~My uncle is the king of heaven~" So the intangible demon has five senses, anyway, it doesn't violate any rules of heaven, so why do relatives do a favor?There is an Uncle Heavenly King who is so willful!

"Xiaobai is right, the second generation of immortals is too annoying~" Jiang Yuanzhen rolled his eyes.

Everyone/ghosts/devils were sweating profusely after a hot pot meal, and the boat of friendship heated up rapidly in the hot pot until a cold wind suddenly blew outside——

"The temperature has dropped? How many months is it now?" Touching the thin clothes, Xia Xiaoqiao leaned closer to the fire, Cui Shijing blinked, and added a barrier around the fire without a trace, and the temperature rose a lot in an instant .

"What's going on?" Jiang Yuanzhen glanced at Cui Shijing, the ghostly aura suddenly became strong outside, something must have happened.

"I'll go out and have a look." Cui Shijing stood up.

Outside the imperial mausoleum, even hundreds of miles away, Cui Shijing could smell the bloody smell in the air. He frowned. Even if he became a demon, he didn't like the smell. over here.

"My lord, Tianmen Pass is two hundred miles away. The Tianmen City inside the pass was captured by the rebel army. The people in the city resisted desperately. The rebel army... slaughtered the city."

"Rebels?"

"No, it looks like bandits who took advantage of the chaos to join the gang, but they are flying the flag of the rebel army, and the ghosts below are looking for news."

"There's no need to inquire, the underworld is about to fall apart!" Xiao Bai suddenly appeared with a sullen face.

"What's going on? There's something wrong with this evil wind. It's impossible for ordinary resentful souls to have such a large amount of resentment and ghost aura." As the leader of the "exile" formation, Cui Shijing was very concerned about the ghost aura and resentment emanating from the resentful ghosts. He has a very keen sense. If the underworld accepts these resentful ghosts and is responsible for the execution of the trial, then his role is to melt those ghosts who refuse to accept the judgment of the underworld directly into the formation. Once they enter the formation, it is impossible to escape.

It has to be said that Cui Shijing's Uncle Heavenly King really took great pains for this nephew. As a demon, the only way to quickly accumulate merit and return to the rank of immortals is probably the only way to "control violence with violence". Channel cultivation, then, the only way is to create opportunities for him to enter the Tao with demons.

"Heh~~ Those so-called rebels were originally bandits in the nearby mountains. When the world is in chaos, they can't help but want to take advantage of the fire. I don't know which military adviser came up with the idea to let these bandits fly under the banner of the rebels. , captured many nearby cities, and now, these places may already be bleeding like rivers..." Xiao Bai said bitterly.

"Now that you know it, why don't you stop it?"

"What do you know? Our underworld only has the right to judge and execute, but not to supervise. Who will bear the responsibility for arbitrarily interfering in human affairs without the approval of the heavenly court?" Xiaobai was also a little angry. It's almost overcrowded, they even sent ghost messengers out to arrest ghosts, and the windows responsible for canceling accounts and reincarnations have long been lined up more terrible than the Spring Festival travel of human beings. How can they have the energy to manage the affairs of the world?

What's more terrible is that these are just ordinary people who died innocently, there are those unjust ghosts who died with injustice and hatred, and they refused to leave the world to reincarnate, and even ganged up and injured the ghost messenger who was a temporary worker who went to arrest the soul. Declaring that he will stay in the world to take revenge, even if his soul is scattered... In short, because of the chaos caused by the change of dynasty, the entire underworld is now in a mess. His Highness Pluto has urgently asked for help from the heavenly court, hoping to send some heavenly soldiers and generals to kill him. Eliminate demons and subdue resentful ghosts.

"Then why haven't they come yet?"

"Oh, my little master! It's not that you haven't been in Heaven before, you know the efficiency of those immortals~~ and it is said that the commander in charge of the three armies in Heaven happened to take a wedding leave and took his wife to the west for honeymoon , it will take half a month at the earliest to come back." Xiao Bai said with a bitter face.His Royal Highness Pluto hadn't slept for several days, and he felt distressed just looking at it.But what can I do?This kind of matter is originally under the jurisdiction of the noble prefecture. The higher ups are willing to send people to help out of loyalty. If they refuse to send people, they can't find any fault. What can he do for a little ghost?

After thinking about the efficiency of the gang of gods above, Cui Shijing was silent for a while.His unreliable parents are still using the name "Yunyou" to travel outside at public expense. Thinking about it, he knows what is going on in other departments.

"Let's go, I'll walk with you." Since he was reborn with the power of the exile, he shouldn't abandon his own responsibilities and obligations.What's more, the world is in chaos now, and the Tianmen City where the accident happened is only two hundred miles away from the imperial tomb. He once vowed to protect Xia Xiaoqiao's life and ensure that the flames of war do not reach the imperial tomb.What's more, those unjust souls lingering in the world for a long time will have a great impact on the luck here. In the long run, they don't care. Xia Xiaoqiao is just a mortal, and it will be bad if they are bumped into. Lock him up in the royal tomb, right?
