The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1753: Paper cutting turns into a bright moon, throwing chopsticks turns into a beauty

"I didn't expect that there is such a different world here. The name 'Sun and Moon in the Pot' is quite appropriate." Feng Jiuxiao looked at the scenery inside the house.

There were many ink paintings hanging on the walls around the room, including landscapes, countryside, ladies, flowers and birds, all signed by famous artists. However, Feng Jiuxiao knew that these famous paintings must be fakes that were indistinguishable from the real ones.

The reason why he was so sure was that he had seen one of Wu Daozi's authentic paintings in the Great Song Dynasty Palace. Moreover, there was an obvious difference in the background color of the canvas. The background color of the canvas in front of him was obviously a little brighter, and it was impossible to imitate the ancient texture of the painting.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The name of my shop is taken from Li Bai's "Returning to the Old Residence in Shimen on the Road". When will I take off my shoes and leave? There is another sun and moon in the pot."

Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flashed, "Oh? I see. I thought there was another meaning." These words were actually meant to test.

  The middle-aged man was stunned, "There is another meaning?" Is he pretending to be stupid or is he really unaware?

Feng Jiuxiao smiled calmly, "When drunk, the world is vast, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. Everything is settled, and life is blank."

  The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, yes, I remember now, this is a poem in Zeng Guang Xian Wen, it's also very appropriate! In fact, there is also a saying that the world is as big as the sleeve, anyway, the artistic conception is similar!" It seems that his true feelings are revealed!

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Li Bai has written many poems, why did you only like this one?" He continued to pursue the matter relentlessly, breaking the casserole to get to the bottom of it! He just wanted to know if the man in front of him had any relationship with the Demon Lord! From the appearance, this man had no internal strength!

Unexpectedly, Chili pepper retorted, "That's right, what are you talking about a wine pot, sun, or moon? Your store has nothing to do with wine pots. It doesn't look like a wine pot, and there's no sun or moon inside!"

The middle-aged man laughed dryly and said, "Haha, this girl speaks so quickly that I am speechless for a moment!" Want to get away with it?

Feng Jiuxiao said with a smile: "How can I be speechless? Brother, please don't be too modest!"

The middle-aged man smiled, but his heart was already in turmoil!

He suddenly felt that the other party seemed to have some suspicion towards him!

Do they consider themselves part of the enemy camp?

How should he explain it to them? He felt a chill on his spine. He pretended to be relaxed and turned his head to take a look. He suddenly found that the black-clothed young man with two swords on his waist was staring at him with a look as sharp as a knife!

What's going on? I don't seem to have offended him.

The middle-aged man's heart sank and he instinctively looked at Feng Jiuxiao again.

With his experience in the martial arts world, he could naturally see that the young man in white was the boss of the group!

The young man in white always seemed to have a barely perceptible smile on his face. At first glance, he seemed to be smiling, but upon closer inspection, he did not seem to be smiling. And the more he looked, the more uncertain he became!

What did the young man in white do this time? He really smiled, but he inexplicably felt an extremely strong pressure!

  It's much greater pressure than that coming from the young man in black!

Who is this boy?

Why is the aura so strong?

  His intuition told him that answering truthfully was the best option!

“Haha, in fact, choosing the four characters of sun and moon in the pot is nothing more than a state of mind!”

Chili suddenly perked up, "What mood?"

The middle-aged man's eyes wandered, "Far away from the hustle and bustle, free and easy!"

Feng Jiuxiao nodded and said, "Well, this remote town is indeed suitable for cultivating one's mind and character, and living a life of leisure and ease!"

Chili stared with her big eyes and said impatiently: "You've been talking around for so long and still haven't gotten to the point!"

The middle-aged man was speechless!

He paused and said, "Girl, let me tell you a story. Maybe after listening to the story..."

Chili's eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to say, "Oh, hurry up, hurry up, why didn't you tell us there was a story earlier? Once you told us, wouldn't everyone understand?"

  The middle-aged man was speechless and thought to himself: You are probably the only one here who doesn't understand what state of mind is?

But he dared not show any disrespect. The young man in black must be the flower-guarding messenger. He was standing beside him, watching him with a dangerous aura. He must not be careless and lose the opportunity!

He cleared his throat and said, "Are you coming from Chengdu?"

Chili suddenly became childish and said with a smile, "So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

The middle-aged man had actually seen that the girl in red was a straightforward person. Although her words seemed rough and blunt, she had no malice in them. So he became more calm and said with a smile: "Whether it is true or not, I will lead the topic to the south of Chengdu. There is a mountain there..."

La Jiao laughed and said, "Then there is a temple in the mountain, and in the temple there is an old monk..."

Feng Jiuxiao felt it necessary to remind La Jiao, "La Jiao, after all, we are the daughters of a scholarly family, how can we speak nonsense? Be reserved, you must remain reserved!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "There is a Yuntai Mountain there. Have you ever heard of it, young lady?"

La Jiao immediately nodded, "Yuntaishan, ah, go on!" As for whether she had heard of it or not, she neither admitted nor denied it.

The middle-aged man did not expose her little trick, and smiled and said, "In the past, Zhang Daoling, the Taoist Zhengyi, practiced in Yuntai Mountain, which is why this mountain is famous. Later, Zhang Shen, a disciple of Zhang Tianshi, became the master of Yuntai Taoist Temple, and was known as the Immortal Pot Master! Legend has it that he has a wine pot, and as long as he recites a spell, the pot will show the sun, moon, stars, blue sky, clear water, pavilions and other wonders! What's even more amazing is that he can get into the pot to sleep at night."

Lajiao's eyes lit up, "Oh, are there still immortals in Yuntai Mountain now?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I don't know! I just know there are still people seeking immortality and asking for the way!"

La Jiao said: "The wine pot of the immortal Zhang Shen is really a treasure. There is a whole new world in this small wine pot!"

The middle-aged man said, "The so-called thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands of Taoism are far inferior to this immortal wine pot!"

Chili asked, “Have you been there?”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and laughed dryly: "The girl's question is really tricky, and I am speechless again!"

"If you've been there, then say you've been there. If you haven't been there, then say you haven't been there! If you haven't been there, then you're just bragging! If you've been there, then tell us in detail how you're inferior!"

"Haha, of course I haven't been there! But I'm not bragging, I just compared it with the descriptions in the classics and judged that the Sun and Moon in the Pot is better than other blessed places!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay, please prepare some food and drinks, we still have to hurry on our way!"

  The middle-aged man immediately smiled and said, "Okay! Right away!" Then he took out an apron from the corner, took a gourd ladle to scoop water from the water tank in the corner and poured it into a wooden basin, and began to wash his hands!

Chili said, "Well, washing hands in front of guests, this is the first time I've seen it!"

The middle-aged man asked, "What would you like to eat, sir?"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "What do you have here?"

  The middle-aged man glanced at Feng Jiuxiao intentionally or unintentionally! It seemed that the name Feng Jiuxiao was very ignorant!

Feng Jiuxiao immediately laughed and said, "Why? Can you make a hundred kinds of dishes here?"

A blazing flame suddenly flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, "One hundred kinds? How dare you call yourself the sun and moon in a pot if you can only make one hundred kinds of dishes?"

  Everyone was shocked!

Pang Shiwu stared into the middle-aged man's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Then tell me what dishes you can cook here?"

The middle-aged man felt the doubt, but this was his strong point, so he didn't feel too much pressure. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "We are called Wangyu Town here, which belongs to Meishan County and Meizhou County. First of all, Meishan County has sugar-coated fruits, spicy sauce sausage, fried spring rolls, Su's tofu elbow, stone-ground tofu, Su's cuttlefish, Su's sausage, shredded potato candy, cross-legged beef, and wind-fried meat; Renshou County has Heilongtan whole fish feast, sesame cake, Wangyang Town dry beef, twice-cooked mutton, twice-cooked fish, Wengong loquat, Cao's steamed pear, and preserved egg; Sucheng County has Su's elbow, steamed pork with rice flour, steamed fish, longan, navel orange and Su wine; Pengshan County has Pengzu wine, sweet-skinned duck, and piaotang; Yayu, rattan pepper oil, Washanchun wine, Bobo chicken, and Daoquan alpine green tea soup from Hongya Town; Jiangtuan, Hanyang chicken, Zhongyan roasted whole lamb, and Qingshen ponkan from Qingshen County; Dongba, unknown fire, Caoba rice tofu, Liuji chicken, Daya loquat, Bangbang chicken, Huangfeng oranges, Yalian, rattan pepper oil, and green tea cake from Danleng County… I am good at all of them! As for the Shandong, Hunan, and Guangdong cuisines in the Central Plains, I can master them a little bit. As long as the guests can tell me, I can make them! What do you want to eat, guests? "The last sentence was the same as the beginning, but everyone felt obviously different!

  Time seemed to stand still and everyone fell silent!

Unbelievable!

  It's incredible that he knows almost all the cuisines from all over the world!

Feng Jiuxiao was also shocked!

As the saying goes, everyone has their own specialties, but if one can reach the level he described, he can definitely be said to be invincible!

Chili broke the silence and said, "I want boiled fish!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay! What else do you need?"

Big Wolf said, "I'll first order 30 kilograms of beef and 30 kilograms of mutton!"

The middle-aged man said, "There are nine of you. If each of you has two kilograms of meat, that would only be twenty kilograms. Wouldn't it be a waste if you can't finish it?"

Big Wolf said calmly, "I repeat, this is the amount I ordered myself. They will tell you separately how much beef and mutton they want to eat!"

The middle-aged man was shocked. "What? You ate 60 kilograms of meat by yourself?"

Big Wolf said calmly, "What's wrong?"

The middle-aged man immediately returned to normal and asked with a smile, "Braised or in sauce?"

Big Wolf said, "Whatever! Just use whichever you think you're good at!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay! No problem!" He looked at the others and said, "Please continue!"

Liu Miezhou looked around and asked, "Where do you store food?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Secret!"

Liu Miezhou smiled, "He is indeed a wonderful person! I will order one dish, Mapo Tofu!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Zishan glanced at Chang Zijin, La Jiao, and Er Ni, "What do you want to eat?"

Chang Zijin smiled and said, "I want to eat Jinzhong Ramen!"

  The middle-aged man was stunned!

Jinzhong Ramen?

Chang Zijin smiled and said, "Why? Don't you have it or don't you know how to do it?"

The middle-aged man smiled, with a hint of pride, "How could I not? I just didn't expect you to order this! In fact, this girl's accent has some Jinzhong flavor. I just thought, you came all the way here just to eat your hometown food? How many people traveled thousands of miles just to taste my cooking skills? You ordered Jinzhong ramen, which not only buried my skills, but also wasted an opportunity!"

Chang Zijin said: "It's not a waste! I've been away from home for many years and have long forgotten the taste of my hometown. If you can make authentic Jinzhong ramen, then I will really admire you!"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "No problem!"

Erni smiled and said, "I want mutton soup with steamed buns!"

The middle-aged man was startled, then smiled and said, "No problem!" He thought: This woman has a Shaanxi accent, so she must be from Shaanxi. I didn't expect these people to come from all over the world! The white-clothed boy has a complicated accent, which is hard to judge, but the black-clothed boy has a Hunan accent. The guy with a sinister face just now revealed a Huizhou accent when he was talking to the woman named Erni in private. The red-clothed girl has a Taihang accent. As for the blond and blue-eyed man, he is naturally from the Western Regions! How did these people get together?

He smiled at Feng Jiuxiao and said, "What about you, sir?"

Feng Jiuxiao glanced at Pang Shiwu, who chuckled, "Chopped pepper fish head!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I'll arrange it right away!"

Zeng Yong said expressionlessly: "I want stinky salmon!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "You can take care of the rest."

  The middle-aged man responded with a smile, and shook his left hand. A flash of lightning shot onto the roof. In an instant, electric snakes danced on the roof, and countless tiny lights appeared, like a sky full of stars. Then the middle-aged man shook out a round piece of rice paper from his sleeve. He chanted some spell, but the rice paper suddenly lit up. He shook it again, and the round paper floated on the roof. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and the thin paper turned into a ball. The soft light illuminated the whole room, like a full moon!

Then he took out three chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the table, muttered something, and suddenly threw the chopsticks out of the window at the back of the house, shouting, "There are guests coming from afar, why don't you show up quickly?"

I heard a silver bell-like voice outside the window, laughing, "Master, don't worry, I'm here!"

  The back door opened, revealing three girls with graceful figures and picturesque features, who walked in gracefully, holding wooden trays in their hands!

Chili's eyes widened!

Chopsticks turn into people?

The three young girls' long skirts fell to the ground, covering their small steps. At the same time, their shoulders did not move and remained on a horizontal line, so they looked as if they were floating in.

  The Taoism is so profound!

So fairy-like!

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would naturally be stunned by the middle-aged man, but Feng Jiuxiao and others were very sharp-sighted and naturally saw through the trick.

  The sky full of stars and moons is nothing more than a trick. Some phosphorus powder and other things are not used in it, but he can make it look natural, so he must have added a lot of rare items!

As for the fact that these three women had been hiding outside, Feng Jiuxiao and the others had already sensed it! They just didn't expose them because they wanted to see what tricks the store owner could come up with!

Who would have thought that the three people hiding outside the house were actually there to cooperate with the chopsticks turning into living people drama!

There has always been a legend in the martial arts world that the Taoist priests in Laoshan can turn paper cutting into a bright moon and throw chopsticks into a beautiful woman. This guy must have got his inspiration from this!

Liu Miezhou once said that when he sees others performing in front of him, he can applaud and cheer. If he is in a good mood, he can even act with them!

When you are in the world, who doesn’t have a mask?

You can do it and so can I!

  No one in this world is a fool. There is no need to expose the falsehood every time, because not every exposure is meaningful!

Why should we live so hard in our lifetime?

  Take it seriously and you lose!

"The food is served so quickly?" La Jiao was a little surprised!

Looking at the boiled fish on the table, hot and fragrant, she was shocked!

"How long has it been? Ten breaths? It takes a while to cut fish fillets, right? Doesn't it take time to cut onions, ginger and garlic? Doesn't it take time to boil water?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "He knows magic, don't be surprised, eat quickly, we have to go on the road after eating!"

The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Where are you going, sir?" He seemed to be asking casually and unobtrusively.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Wawu Mountain."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, "That's the headquarters of the Shushan Sect!"

"Are you familiar with that place?"

"I know the way there very well, but I don't know the people there well!"

"It's really a wonderful person, haha!"

Pang Shiwu asked, "How far is this place from Wawu Mountain?"

The middle-aged man said, "About a hundred miles!"

"Is the road easy to walk on?"

"I wonder which road you are asking about?"

The middle-aged man gave a mysterious smile.

Pang Shiwu frowned immediately, "Which road? Are there many roads to Shushan?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I see that you have extraordinary bearings. When you mention Shushan, your faces are full of murderous intent. So your going to Shushan will be different from others! Others can go by horse, car, or on foot. The road ahead leads to Shushan. The road is very flat. Just keep going. No matter how fast or slow you are, you will arrive sooner or later."

  Pang Shiwu's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand something!

The middle-aged man said, "But you are different. You don't look like you are here to pay respects to the ancestors or to draw fortunes. You look like you are going to fight or to cause trouble. So your road may not be easy!"

Zeng Yong said: "You mean, as soon as we step into Wangyu Town, someone will notice us, and then they will set up some obstacles for us on the road?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, “I didn’t say that.”

Zeng Yong snorted coldly, "Mystifying!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It seems that the Shushan Sect is not worthy of its name! Which famous and upright sect is acting like a bandit, placing spies everywhere to prevent the soldiers from going up the mountain to suppress the bandits!"

Liu Miezhou said: "It is indeed strange, the Shushan Sect was not like this before!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Has the Shushan Sect been so sensitive before?"

The middle-aged man said: "That's not the case! It's only happened in the past two years!"

"Haha, you are so kind to remind us, but aren't you afraid of being targeted by Shushan? Could it be that you have some connection with Shushan?"

"I have no connection with you. I am just an ordinary businessman. Who would make things difficult for me?"

Feng Jiuxiao stared into his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't believe it!"

  At first the middle-aged man wanted to continue looking into her eyes to show his selflessness, but within three breaths, he gave up and dared not look directly at her!

"Your eyes are so sharp, I am convinced! Many disciples of Shushan are willing to come to my Lord to drink!"

"Serve the food." Feng Jiuxiao said lightly.

  Zeng Yong wanted to say that this person was suspicious and he might as well kill him, but then he thought that doing so would make him look too cowardly! It would be better to just let things take their own course!

Seeing that they were getting further and further away from Shu, Yu Nu became extremely anxious!

Unfortunately, he was surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs, making it difficult for him to move!

She was looking for an opportunity to get the message out.

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly remembered something. He looked at Pang Shiwu and said, "Ask them why they haven't arrived yet?"

Pang Shiwu was startled for a moment, then he understood. He seemed to glance at Liu Miezhou and lowered his head to eat.

His actions naturally did not escape Liu Miezhou's eyes, but he would not ask.

Feng Jiuxiao didn't say anything, so there must be a reason for that.

Feng Jiuxiao felt inexplicably nervous at this moment.

According to expectations, Yu Nu should have arrived long ago!

But until now there is still no news of those masters from the Imperial City Bureau, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. Could something have happened?

Thank you Yudong for your encouragement and support!

Thanks to Mu Xue Aiting for the encouragement and support!
