After the bats were smoked out, Yan Xianchang helped to clean up.

Hundreds of thousands of years of bat bones and feces have been accumulated in the cave, and it is impossible to clean them manually.He directly aroused a whirlwind-like demonic wind, and swept the dirt accumulated inside to the distant forest, and then condensed the pool water into a high-pressure water gun to wash the cave.The water that came out flowed down the mountain along the mouth of the cave. It was full of dirt at the beginning, and it became clear after repeated washing several times.

When Yan Hanjiang cast spells to clean the cave, Shao Zongyan cleared a small piece of clean land by the pool, picked up some dead branches and built a small conical fire, and burned a handful of wormwood to drive away the mosquitoes surrounding the pool. fly.

The place where they lit the fire happened to grow a few slender bamboos, but they were solitary, not forming a forest, and there were no new shoots in the ground.However, he did not cut bamboo for eating, but took several tender bamboo tubes, cut off the bamboo nodes on both sides, split them, and burned them to get bamboo juice.

Bamboo drain water can clear the heart and moisten dryness, and it can calm shock.After a day and a night of hard work, he, who has already entered the gate of the fairy gate, even found it unbearable. Master Shi Nian is just an ordinary person, and he is always worried that the vampire will catch up, so he needs to drink some medicine to calm his nerves.

Roasted bamboo drain drips into the bowl along the two ends of the bamboo. The color is light yellow, the taste is as clear as water, and it has a slightly burnt aroma of roasted bamboo. It tastes good as a tea.The master took the bamboo drain water and drank it, and his mind seemed to be cleared. He let out a long breath and sighed: "It's been a long time since I have been able to drink such nectar. After meeting the Taoist priest, I seem to have returned to the world. .”

There is a clear pool in front of you, warm and moist tea soup in your hands, and a trustworthy person sitting beside you, and your body is full of long-lost soreness—not the shameful and painful tiredness after every good time, but full of vitality , Muscle soreness after work.During those days in the castle, he had almost forgotten what it was like to be in the sun, and his past life. Only when he was chanting sutras could he temporarily forget the environment he was in.He couldn't even keep the Buddhist beads, and he lived a life as corrupt and depraved as a vampire day after day...

If he hadn't summoned up the courage to ask the game side for help yesterday, he might already be a ghost by now.

Shi Nian rubbed the wall of the bowl, quietly looked at the customer service in front of him who brought him back to the sunlight from the endless night, smelled the faint scent of bamboo and fireworks in the air, his eyes gradually filled with brilliance.

The flames burned high, and the bamboo roasted on it gradually turned yellow and turned into a part of the fuel.Shao Zongyan no longer roasted the bamboo drain, and only cut off the end of the remaining bamboo tubes, filled them with fried puffball mushrooms, rice and water, blocked the tube opening with bamboo leaves, and threw them into the fire for barbecue.

The fresh and tender bamboo joints lose water in the fire, making a sound of peeling and peeling. The fragrance of the bamboo itself is stewed into the rice with the bamboo draining water during the roasting process.Shao Daochang made several vegetarian ones, and then blanched the fresh shellfish, picked out the meat and squeezed out the mud and sand, stuffed them into the remaining bamboo tubes, and grilled them for the meat-loving grass carp essence.

Because he had just eaten grilled fish in the morning, he was not in a hurry to make boiled fish, but took the bats to the water to clean them up.Bat wings have only a thin layer of skin. When boiling soup, it can make a pot of thick fresh soup like jelly, but it has no taste when fried.He simply tore off the wings, and after bleeding, he threw away the head, claws and internal organs, chopped the rest into small pieces, and marinated them with soy sauce and cooking wine.

When the chopped bat was brought back, it became a neat piece of meat, covered with a layer of oily sauce-colored light, which looked a bit like a black-bone chicken piece.Even Master Shi Nian, who used to regard bats as the incarnation of the vampire duke, was afraid every time he saw them, but when he saw this pot of meat, he couldn't connect them with the original form when he was alive, and naturally he lost his original form. That fear and loathing.

He didn't dislike anything easily, and he had never had anything to fear.From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear... Shi Nian closed his eyes forcefully, put down his teacup and sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and silently recited sutras for the food that died because of them today.

The three of them were quietly preparing dinner when a human voice suddenly came from the wind.Rough and ear-piercing curses came from far away with the wind, as if they were scolding someone upstream for dumping sewage and dousing him all over.

Shao Zongyan has good ears, and when he heard the words "dirty water" and "bat droppings", he knew it was his fault, and he felt a little guilty.Because they still have to use pond water for cooking and washing, the water from the Yanhan River washing the cave was not diverted downstream, but flowed directly down the mountain wall. thing...

Daoist Shao coughed lightly, and quietly took out a change of clothes from his backpack, hoping that the man would not be too angry for the sake of the clothes when he came up.

Yan Hanjiang leaned against the edge of the fish tank, patted his tail and snorted coldly: "Don't get them clothes, those people are too thick to wear your clothes."

Shao Zongyan's figure is by no means short, with a slender waist and slender legs, he is a standard clothes rack figure.But the person walking and scolding at the foot of the mountain was a muscular and muscular man, his thighs were as thick as his waist, and even the fattest robe would not be able to cover the man's chest.

The big man was carrying a box similar to a small coffin, and beside him were two people who were also full of sewage: one was a skinny young man in a white robe, holding a cross with a shining halo while chanting scriptures while walking; A beautiful woman with a longbow.

No matter which one is not suitable for wearing Shao Zongyan's clothes, let them wash them casually in the pool and dry them with fire.

As the voice became louder, Master Shi Nian also heard someone coming up, his face suddenly became pale and ugly, fidgeting, wishing that they would never come up.

Would the group recognize him as the monk captured by the Duke of Salem?Even if he couldn't recognize him, what would the group of people think of him when the vampire came after him at night and said to his face that he was committed to Duke Salem?Would he be regarded as an accomplice of vampires?

What would Daoist Shao and his little Yuxian think of him?Although they are all good people, they didn't look down on him after hearing about his past events, but Duke Salem likes to describe that kind of events in front of people, and use some dirty things to compare him, every time he hears that he wants to cut off ear……

Alas, Taoist Shao and the others, how could they listen to that kind of stuff!

As long as he thought of vampire's obscene words that made him prefer not to understand at all, his ears would turn red with shame, and he would hug his shoulders and tremble on the ground, until the sound of chaotic and piercing friction came into his ears, he slowed down. Lift your head up slowly.

After marinating the bat pieces, Daoist Shao grabbed the few remaining crabs in the basket, threw them into the steamer and steamed them until cooked.Those live crabs kept struggling in the cage, scratching the walls of the cage with their claws, the piercing sound seemed to strike at the bottom of Shi Nian's heart, and the person who was trapped in the cage and suffered so much seemed to have become him. .

He recited the very familiar scriptures sentence by sentence, without using his brain at all, and he would never make mistakes. The content of these scriptures did not enter his heart. Dark and depressing, yet full of twisted pleasures in the castle.

"How can I stop thinking about it?" How can I stop thinking about those obsessions that made his body unable to control himself, but his heart wandered between darkness and pain?How can I not think about my own sins that I can't get rid of or wash away?

"It's fine when it's cooked." Shao Zongyan thought he thought the crabs were scratching loudly, so he turned his head and smiled: "Master, I should not have killed in front of you. Physical strength, eat when you eat."

I thought it was something I was thinking in my heart, I didn't know when it was said, and someone answered, Shi Nian couldn't help being surprised and ashamed.He raised his head sharply, seeing that Shao Zongyan was still squatting there earnestly poking the fire, he didn't care what he was talking about at all, so he touched his chest and replied in a low voice: "What the Taoist priest said is very..." It will be fine if you are familiar with it.

If you think about it carefully, a person's life is actually like these crabs tormented in a cage.A well-cooked crab can be reborn in bliss, and there will be no more pain and struggle; and as long as people can eliminate love, desire, greed, hatred and ignorance, there will be no more pain in their hearts, right?

The sound of the crab's claws scratching the bamboo cage gradually disappeared, and the white mist was steaming on the steamer. Shao Zongyan opened the lid of the cage, and a fresh fragrance came out.

Master Shi Nian smelled the unique fishy smell of aquatic creatures, and his irritated and tangled heart seemed to gradually calm down.Those shady memories and joys are like the live crabs in the cage being tortured to death by fire, but the expectation and courage to live are drawn out from the bottom of my heart by the light aroma of steamed crabs.

Even if he is spurned and despised by others, he still wants to get out of this dark cage full of ghosts and go back to the sunshine.For this reason, even if he had to cut off half of his body that had fallen into the quagmire, and cut open the bloody heart carved by the vampire, he would not hesitate to pay the price.

Shi recited the Buddha's name, his expression became more and more solemn, and he looked at the big red steamed crabs on the table without sadness or joy - Daoist Shao happened to break one open, revealing the not-so-fat white crab meat inside, Use a sharp knife to cut open the outer shell, and peel the flesh away.

The noisy voices from the bottom of the mountain were also getting closer, and the figures of the three people were exposed from the bottom of the slope, and they also saw the two Fangwai experts who were looking at them from the edge of the pool.Yan Hanjiang didn't want to face to face with outsiders, so he lowered his head and jumped into the water, turning into a palm-sized grass carp. The two golden threads beside his side were shining brightly, showing off all the fish.

Shao Zongyan saw how good-looking he was, because he was worried that those people coming would affect his cooking, so he was hungry for grass carp, so he threw the unused fresh shellfish into the fish tank, and asked Yan Hanjiang to eat a few mouthfuls to fill his stomach when he was hungry.

The three finally climbed up the hillside, looked at the cave where the water was still flowing, and rushed towards the fire.However, Daoist Shao did not expect that they did not come to fight. The big man who scolded them all the way was smiling and asked kindly and gently, "Are you two also going to Seren Castle to hunt those vampires?"

The woman beside him looked enchanting. She touched the gun and walked in front of Shao Daochang. She turned around and revealed a strange pattern tattoo on her waist, and said with a smile, "I am Binnie the vampire hunter. , what do you call the two magicians?"

Daoist Shao put on a service smile, and replied politely: "My name is Shao Zongyan, and I am a fortuneteller. I came to see this castle because I felt that something big was about to happen. This is my honored guest, Master Shi Nian, He is a scholar who studies ghosts. If you don't mind, that cave is very big, why don't you live together?"

The three vampire hunters exchanged glances, but they didn't believe that they were as powerless as Daoist Shao himself said.However, according to the customs of this world, both vampires and degenerate humans who turned to vampires regard bats as a symbol of blood race, and they will never clean a hole of bats.Although Shao Zongyan never admitted that he was a magician, his desire to exterminate vampires must be the same as theirs, enough to be a temporary companion.

In addition to their positions, they also have a little selfishness.

Big Han Layton leaned over to the table and took a deep sniff of the picked crab meat, blinked his blue eyes, and asked sincerely: "What are these, can they be eaten? We have climbed the mountain all afternoon and haven't eaten yet." things, and so much stinky bat guano has been poured on them, I’m afraid I won’t have time to hunt and cook after taking a shower. You know, this mountain is a hunting ground for vampires when it’s dark, and humans are outside Very inconvenient……"

Nagging for a long time, there is only one goal, which is to blackmail these two people and have a meal with them.Daoist Shao felt a little guilty towards them, and wanted to use their power to prevent the night vampires from attacking, so he readily replied, "Just go, you three, I can find something to eat myself."

Layton and Binnie were overjoyed, even the white-robed hunter who had been taciturn and looked a bit serious had a smile on his lips, said a few words politely, and then ran to a distant lake to take a bath.

Daoist Shao was left alone to face the arduous task of making dinner for six people.

There are plenty of fish and mushrooms, but the crabs are too thin, and five crabs are picked out, which is not enough to make up two crab caps, which have neither seeds nor paste.Although it was born in the clear and slightly cold pool water, the crab meat itself is sweet and firm, but the meat is too little, it is not enjoyable to eat, and it is not enough for six people.

If only the two of them were there, all the crab meat would belong to Brother Yan.But the master has been caring about crabs since just now, and he can't let him just watch. The vampire hunter also specially came up to smell the crab meat, so he has to leave some for him...

There are not enough real crabs, so we can only make do with fake ones.Fortunately, he caught a lot of fish, and he fried the rest of the puffballs, and added rice in bamboo tubes... While he was thinking about arranging the crabs, he gave Yan Hanjiang a small plate of crabs, and served them with ginger in a small porcelain spoon. Vinegar, delicate and delicate, let him come out to eat some to fill his stomach.

The master dialed the rest, and said with an apologetic smile, "This crab has little meat, so you can taste it first, and I'll make some fake crab meat later and eat it to your heart's content."

"Don't worry about me, Taoist priest. I don't want to eat this crab. I just watched it from life to death and figured out some things." The master clasped his hands together, resolutely rejected the crab meat, lowered his eyes and read the scriptures, Recast your heart with Dharma.

Shao Zongyan nodded, put down the crab meat, and started to deal with the fresh and fat pond fish.He has long been a skilled fish cooker, and he chopped off the head and tail and the spine in a few strokes, and put two thick meaty and rice-colored fish steaks under the fish skin.This time, there is no need to cut butterfly slices, just slightly wider and even strips of meat. He cuts like the wind, holding the knife up and down with his wrist, making it hard to see how he moves.

Simmer the cut fish sticks with cooking wine and salt, heat boiling oil in an iron pan, roll the fish sticks down, and scoop them out white and tender, and the fresh aroma comes out from the trembling fish.The master's gaze fell from the crab to his dazzling movements involuntarily. He took the iron pan and turned it slightly in the air, and the whole pot of fish slipped out from the bottom of the pot, but it seemed to be controlled by some divine power without hesitation. Instead of flying out, it drew an arc, and the whole mass of meat fell onto the colander.

The freshly fried fish is white and raw, and golden oil keeps slipping from the fish sticks and dripping into the stainless steel plate under the colander.

Taking advantage of the time when the fish sticks were dripping with oil, he cut puffballs into thin strips, marinated them with the rest of the fish sticks, grabbed the watery starch and poured them into the boiling oil to spread them out, and fried them into a golden, crispy, indistinguishable dish. Crisp strips of mushroom or fish, seasoned with salt, cumin, and cumin.

Taking advantage of the bather not coming back, Yan Hanjiang turned into a mermaid and enjoyed the hot dinner first.Master Shi Nian consciously stood in front of the little mermaid, looking at the three undulating black spots on the lake from a distance with the excitement of keeping a secret.

When the man came out of the lake, he turned his head and reminded Yan Hanjiang to become a small fish.

At this time, the grass carp essence was almost full, so he jumped back into the fish tank and quietly filled it with fish.The master sat back at the original place, only to find that the fish in the colander was gone, and the crab meat on the plate was gone, but there were five fried red and shiny crab caps on the plate, which were full of snow-white and golden-yellow things. .

He has been a monk since he was a child, and he has never eaten these aquatic products. He didn't know that the yellow one was specially imitated from the fried egg liquid made from crab roe.The inside is mixed with fish sticks that have been filtered out of oil and crab meat that has been picked out. The fish meat and crab meat are mixed with soft and tender scrambled egg yolks.

These were the same eggs they had picked up in the morning.The waterfowl eggs themselves have a slightly fishy smell. They are fried together with fish sticks and crab rice, and then cooked with ginger rice and vinegar. On the contrary, they are completely stained with the unique fragrance of crab meat.

The egg white of the bird's egg is not added here, but poured into the basin and whipped separately.When Shi Nian saw it, the transparent yellowish egg whites had already been churned to snow-white, and they were piled up in the basin like a small snow mountain. He evenly distributed them to the crab shells with chopsticks, and covered the bottom with a golden cover. Bai Shengsheng things.

It's really exquisite, not to mention eating, just looking at it makes people love it.Shi Nian couldn't help swallowing, watching him carefully place the brewed crab shells on the plate, and continue steaming.

The mountain wind blows from the water pool, blowing the fresh fragrance of crabs to the lake, and also brings a bit of refreshment to the hot and humid mountain forest.

Layton's voice echoed in the opposite lake, and he could vaguely hear a few words such as "grilled fish", "crab" and "scent". It seemed that he could smell the scent of fake crab meat.His companions responded in a low voice, and there was a burst of laughter on the lake.

Shao Zongyan also laughed, and said in a low voice: "They are so happy now, I hope they can be happy after knowing that they are eating bats."

As he couldn't say whether it was sarcasm or sincerity, the oil pan started to boil again, the sound of boiling oil continued to explode, and the oily smoke came out of the pot, but it was the pot of marinated bat meat that had been put into the pot.

The smoke was blown onto Shi Nian's body by the wind, and the smell of meat wrapped in it naturally rushed to his face.

He never thought that the bat, which he had always hated and feared, would smell so good when fried.This is different from the light and slightly fishy sweet aroma of crabs, and it is an extremely strong and direct meaty aroma.As the oily smoke from the pan grew heavier, the smell of oil and meat from frying bats became stronger and stronger, and even the wind blowing from behind couldn't blow away the smell condensed in his nose.

There is not much meat on the bat, and it will be a little crispy after frying for a while.Deep-fried crisps are then added, seasoned with a lot of dried chili and pepper, and the aroma is more lively and spicy.

Shi Nian was choked by the spicy taste and sneezed, but he couldn't help but pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth when Shao Zongyan was feeding the fish.

After biting off the salty, crispy outer layer, there was a trace of tender and juicy meat inside. He also ate small pieces of crispy bones, which creaked when bitten.After savoring the delicious aroma of the bat meat itself, the mellow spicy taste came out of his mouth, which made the tip of his tongue tingle, so he quickly took a sip of cold tea to suppress it.

Spicy, but very fragrant.Different from those half-cooked barbecues in the castle that exude a strong bloody smell, the real meat dishes are like this, after eating it, people can't help but think about it, and want to eat another piece... a lot of pieces.

Thinking that these tender and crispy pieces of fried meat were actually bat meat, he had the illusion that what he ate was actually a vampire.

However, in ancient times, Song Dingbo used ghosts as fat sheep, so maybe the vampires in this world can really eat them too.The master couldn't help but took another piece of bat meat and put it into his mouth, slowly tasted the strange spicy taste, and laughed in his heart: If the vampire is really so delicious when cooked, I'm afraid people in this world will eat it up How could they allow them to live until now?
