Botmaster

It can be seen that the Nanming Temple is very attentive in entertaining guests. The dinner provided for the six people in the small courtyard is full of beautiful things. The dishes are mainly delicate deep-sea fish.

After the Nanming disciples who were doing odd jobs left, the six people gathered around the table, but no one moved their chopsticks.

Yan Jingchen looked at Kong Yuan, coughed and asked, "Monk, don't you want to eat?"

Kong Yuan: "...Do you want to force me to death? Monks don't eat meat, don't you know?"

"..."

Hong Sui said with disgust on his face, "How could they feed us these..."

"It's better to say that they actually still rely on eating these things for a living. Killing to survive is a big taboo for those who practice Taoism." Zi Qing was not as polite as Hong Sui, and his words were to the point.

These cultivators, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, can live without food and live by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth-of course, it is just because there is no need to eat food without food, it does not mean that they cannot eat it, and they can taste it occasionally There is nothing wrong with fireworks in the world. At this time, most monks will choose vegetables fried with oil, or fresh melons and fruits to satisfy their appetites. Big fish and meat will never be touched.

Unexpectedly, this Nanming Temple is so evil, and it violates the taboo of the guests as soon as it comes up.

At this time, Tong Wu noticed a big food box by the wall.Just now when the disciples of Nanming placed the food box by the wall, they also specially instructed that this box was prepared by their palace master for Tong Wu alone, and hoped that Tong Wu would like it, but because of the hectic scene, Tong Wu forgot about it. up until now.

Tong Wu pointed to the wall and said, "There is a box over there. From what those people said just now, there should be food in it. Let's take a look at what's in it."

"Open it and have a look, it's not something strange." Yan Jingchen said.

Tan Xin was very discerning, and walked over with Wu first, and moved the box closer to the dining table before opening it.

After the box was opened, several people came together to look at it, and saw that there were round things neatly stacked inside, which looked like melons and fruits, but they were not familiar varieties.

Tong Wu took one and handed it to Ziqing, and asked him, a master of elixir, to appraise it.

Hearing this, Ziqing burst into flames immediately, "Damn, I'm not a botanist!" Having said that, Ziqing, who is good at distinguishing herbs, took the fruit and examined it carefully.

The fruit is a regular sphere, the one held by Ziqing is exactly the same size as the ones in the box, and the weight is almost the same, and the skin of the fruit is smooth without scars, and the peel that slightly reflects the light of the night pearl seems to have been beaten. Wax is waxy to the touch.

Ziqing looked over and over for a long time, and at the same time searched in her mind the anecdotes she had seen in the past, trying to find some clues.

It's a pity that although his elixirs are unique and his understanding of herbal medicine is deep enough, he is not specialized in botany. He can only see the generalization of plants other than herbal medicine, and he can't tell the truth about the rare species. of.For example, he couldn't see anything strange about the box of things specially prepared for Tong Wu by the Nanming Temple in front of him.

"No, I don't have a clue at all." Ziqing simply admitted that she didn't know, and put the fruit back into the food box.

Tan Xin squatted by the food box and looked at it for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Every fruit is a regular sphere with the same diameter, and the weight difference is within one gram. If it is planted, it is really terrible..." Picking up a fruit and playing with it, Tan Xin added: "It is said to be planted, but it looks more like it was mass-produced by machines."

Tong Wu: "...how did you see it? I mean the diameter and weight."

Tan Xin said: "It's not for looking, but for calculating."

Tong Wu: "..."

At this time, Kong Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Why don't we cut it up and have a look?"

"Good idea, demon monk, come here." Saying that, Yan Jingchen flipped his wrist, conjured a small knife out of thin air and threw it to Kong Yuan.

Kong Yuan stepped aside, and quickly reached out to copy the knife that was flying towards him into his hand, not forgetting to complain about Yan Jingchen, "Are you fucking trying to kill me?"

Yan Jingchen answered him with his eyes: Didn't you catch it?

Kong Yuan is a very generous person, as long as he is asked to do anything within his ability, he will never be shy. He stepped forward and picked up a fruit, held it in the palm of his hand, and stabbed the tip of the knife into the fruit. Unexpectedly, there was no flower what strength.

"Huh?" Kong Yuan was a little puzzled by the strange feeling that the tip of the knife broke through the peel. He pressed down with a little more force, and suddenly red juice leaked out along the gap between the knife and the peel.

At this moment, Tong Wu, who was standing beside Yan Jingchen, frowned involuntarily, and sniffled lightly.

Although the fruit's skin is easy to pierce, it doesn't seem to be brittle. The slightly tough skin didn't break open with Kong Yuan's force. When there was a little more juice, he said to others: "Give me a bowl."

Hong Sui hurriedly handed over the empty bowl to catch the fruit, and Kong Yuan used Hong Sui's hand to cut the fruit in two completely in the bowl.

In an instant, a stream of dark red juice rushed out from between the two peels, instantly submerging the peels still in the bowl, and even because of the abundance of juice, many of them overflowed from the mouth of the bowl.

"..." Hong Sui didn't expect the situation to be like this at all, she should have put the bowl into Zi Qing's hand earlier.

The whole group was shocked by this sudden scene. They never expected that this strange fruit would look like this after being cut open. Zi Qing even used chopsticks to fish out the peel and looked carefully for a long time, and found that the inside of the peel was also very smooth. There are occasional meridians sticking inside the peel, but not many, very sparse.

But inside the two peels, there is no trace of pulp...

Everyone instantly felt an inexplicable nausea from the bottom of their hearts—coconuts have a layer of pulp to protect the coconut juice, what the hell is this fruit, it actually grows a cavity that is as red as blood!

Among them, Tong Wu was the one who felt the most disgusting.

In the beginning, everyone's attention was focused on the abnormality of the fruit, and no one, including Yan Jingchen, noticed Tong Wu's abnormality. It wasn't until Yan Jingchen realized that Tong Wu was a little far away from him, and turned around to find that he was standing there with a disgusted expression on his face. In the distance, although he covered his nose with his sleeve, he still looked breathless.

"What's the matter?" Yan Jingchen was most afraid that he would feel unwell, so he immediately took a few steps to help him sit down, asking for warmth.

Tong Wu seemed to dislike the taste of the fruit very much. He sat on the stool and leaned against Yan Jingchen, looking extremely weak, "This thing tastes too disgusting, take it away."

"Smell?" Ziqing brought the bowl to the tip of her nose and smelled it, "It's just a little bit sweet, not disgusting."

However, Yan Jingchen knew that Tongwu's sense of smell was different from that of ordinary people, and the smell that made him feel sick must not be a good thing.

He made a quick decision, snatched the bowl from Ziqing's hand and the food box on the ground, walked across the small courtyard and threw the things outside the door.

When he came back again, Tong Wu's condition seemed to be much better immediately because he didn't have the disgusting smell. At this moment, Hong Sui carefully helped him to drink water, and Hong Sui didn't move away until Yan Jingchen came back.

"Thank you, sister Hong Sui." Tong Wu nodded towards Hong Sui.

"Thank you, you kid is really...By the way, we only smelled a very faint sweet smell from the bowl just now. What's the matter with you saying it's disgusting?"

Tong Wu shook his head, "That bowl smells like blood."

When he said such words, the others were both surprised and took it for granted——Tong Wu is a corpse repairer, and he is especially sensitive to blood as a zombie. He can tell who has a bloody wound from a long distance away. It is not difficult for him to detect the smell of blood covered by various breaths, but why does a fruit smell of blood?This suddenly became intriguing.

At this point, the fish and meat on the table suddenly looked hideous, Yan Jingchen waved his hand, but all the plates and chopsticks on the table were swept into the trash can, and he ordered Tan Xin: "Throw them all out. "

Tan Xin quickly picked up the trash can and threw it together with the evil fruit outside the door.

Although they couldn't guess the origin of the fruit, it made Tong Wu feel sad, so they naturally had to avoid it. In addition to Kong Yuan's purpose for inviting him to the Nanming Temple in the afternoon, they made a total calculation and decided to reject all people who were allowed to come here from tomorrow. The food provided by the Nanming Temple can't be starved to death anyway, at most a hungry adult can do it.

Ziqing also enthusiastically suggested that if he really wanted to eat, he could provide pills for free, unlimited varieties and unlimited quantities, as long as he finished eating and gave an evaluation report.

As soon as he finished saying this, he was slapped on the back of the head by Hong Sui, "Damn boy, you dare to test medicine with your senior brother and sister, are you looking for it?"

Ziqing hurriedly begged for mercy, hid in the room and continued rubbing the pills.

In fact, it was not too early. Seeing Ziqing return to the room, the others also dispersed, leaving Yan Jingchen to support Tongwu, and issued an order to chase away Kong Yuan who was still clinging to him: "It's not early, it's not too soon. Go back to your place to rest?"

"It's too late for you to say, and it's not convenient for me to go back, so I'll just stay here for one night and make plans tomorrow."

"...Are you planning to hang on and not leave?"

"Don't say that, isn't there a vacant room..."

Yan Jingchen interrupted him: "That's my room."

Hearing this, Kong Yuan immediately showed an evil expression, "Oh... I thought you lived in the same room as the zombie brother."

"Shut up, Monk, will your six faculties be pure and you will die?"

Kong Yuan shrugged, "I didn't say anything."

Kong Yuan occupied the remaining vacant room, and the rooms in the small courtyard of the Kunlun faction were full. The news that Kong Yuan and the Kunlun faction were hanging out must have reached the ears of the master of the Nanming Palace at this time, and he didn't know what the other party would do. In my opinion, Yan Jingchen is still a little curious about the new master of Nanming Temple.

The starry sky cannot be seen in the deep sea, Yan Jingchen raised his head to look at the blocked sea water, and estimated in his heart how much he could do this time, and in two or three days, the martial arts competition will start.
