Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 103 Li Wushou's meat is really delicious
Li Wushou and his group rushed out of the north gate.

According to Zhu Sihai and the Six-Eyed Monk, we can go directly to the Burial Soul Forest along the northeast corner of the land route!
But Li Wushou refused, and directed Lin You and Feng Sishui to drive the Martial God's carriage towards Cui Family Village, saying that he wanted to revisit the old place.

The lark beneath Zhu Sihai lost a few more feathers, and the Six-Eyed Monk kept chanting "May Buddha have mercy!"
Li Wushou sat upright in the chariot of the Martial God Official, somewhat excited, and asked with great interest:
"Feng Sishui, do you think that Black Carp River God has any family?"

Feng Sishui, who was driving the carriage, was taken aback by Li Wushou's question, and then scratched his head.

"High Priest, there shouldn't be any more, right?"

"This river god married so many wives, yet he didn't have a single child?"

Feng Sishui was a little embarrassed. This river god had many children, but you chopped them all down.

Lin You, who was standing next to him, understood the meaning behind those words.

"High Priest, are you asking if there are any carp spirits similar to the Black Carp River God?"

Li Wushou clapped his hands together and laughed, then said to Lin Youzan, "Haha. Yes, that's exactly what I mean. This Black Carp River God can't be all alone, can he?"

A smile appeared on Lin You's lips. The High Priest was indeed craving that braised fish tail!
"Before the river god ate incense, he was a black carp in the Emerald River. After he ate incense, the black carp in the Emerald River naturally received his care and their numbers increased greatly. However, it seems that they only live in the dark river under the black pool of Cui Family Village."

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou's eyes lit up, and a glistening tear appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Then let's go check out that black pool first!"

Zhu Sihai and the Six-Eyed Monk, who were following behind them, could no longer bear it.

"High Priest, we're here today to subdue the Tree Goddess of the Burial Soul Forest, not for an autumn outing or picnic!!"

Li Wushou glanced at the two men, whose faces were ashen, and began to argue angrily as well.

"The world is vast, but food is the most important thing! I, Li Wushou, have no hungry soldiers! Feng Sishui, tell that city lord riding a bird and that big monk, are you hungry or not?"

Without even thinking, Feng Sishui yelled, "High Priest, I'm hungry!"

"Look at this, how can we cut down those old tree trunks on an empty stomach? Let's go! Let's go to the Black Pool and get some black carp first, then we'll go after we eat!"

A moment later, at the edge of the Black Pool in Cui Family Village!

Twenty-four minor priests were busy gathering firewood and starting fires. The six-eyed monk with scars sat on a branch chanting scriptures. Zhu Sihai stood by the black pool, manipulating a lark to dive into the pool again and again to catch black carp!

His face was covered in wrinkles, making his expression unreadable, but he kept muttering to himself.

"Calm down, calm down. Just consider this his last meal before he's executed. Let him eat his fill so he can have a good journey!"

He didn't want to do such a despicable thing, but he couldn't stand seeing these fools jump into the black pool time and time again, only to return empty-handed each time.

At this rate, they probably won't even make it to the Burial Forest by tomorrow!

Under Zhu Sihai's control, the lark was even faster than the cormorant. With Zhu Sihai's spiritual senses probing, the black carp in the underground river were scooped up one by one.

Watching the lark burst out of the water once again, shaking its body and dropping a nearly five-foot-long black carp onto the ground, Li Wushou was somewhat astonished.

"Lord Zhu, you're really amazing! If you went to the Hengyang River, you'd definitely be the best boat captain, with no worries about food or drink!"

Zhu Sihai's lips had just curled up when he quickly suppressed it, and then his face turned red!
Me, the lord of a city, going to be a fishing boat captain? I'm perfectly well-fed and clothed these days!
"Hmph! Is this enough fish? Eat up! We still have to go to the Burial Soul Forest after we finish eating!" With that, he turned and left, sitting cross-legged on a tree with the Six-Eyed Monk on either side of him, and closed his eyes.

Li Wushou gritted his teeth, turned to Feng Sishui beside him, and asked, "What's wrong with this guy?"

Feng Sishui shook his head. "I don't know, maybe I'm getting old? High Priest, let's cook some fish!"

"Haha, great!"

These junior priests all came from prominent families in Wufang City, and their skills were naturally far inferior to those of Chef Hu.

These plump and tender black carp were, to say the least, cooked terribly.

But Li Wushou didn't mind and sat down in front of the fire to enjoy his meal, which moved the little priests who were preparing the fish.

Li Wushou, who was eating, ate with relish, not caring about anything else; he was just glad to have something to eat.

He used to follow the old beggar and Li Wushou. Oh, now I am Li Wushou! Chen Gou'er took a bite of fish, reminding himself once again!
Being Li Wushou is really troublesome. Every day you have to say so many things that no one can understand, and there are so many rules. It's really uncomfortable.

Chen Gou'er was exhausted after a busy night at the Sanxian Pavilion last night.

How could he possibly remember all that Li Wushou said? I'm not a brainy person!
In the end, Chen Gou'er only remembered three things:

First, always remember that I am Li Wushou, and I cannot take off my pants casually (if I do, I will be fined one hundred taels!).

Secondly, when you arrive at the City God Temple, remember to invite the Martial God's image in front of the incense hall. This way you can get ten taels of silver!
Finally, once you leave the city gates, you can go anywhere, just avoid the Burial Soul Forest. It's best to find a place to get something to eat slowly!
Li Wushou and the old beggar had no solution to this, but it also proved once again that Chen Gou'er would become much smarter when it came to food and money.

That's right, Chen Gou'er even performed beyond his usual standard!
After all, even if Li Wushou came himself, he probably couldn't command Zhu Sihai to personally catch fish for him to eat, right?

Chen Gou'er ate the fish in silence, but he was actually feeling regretful because the person in the Three Immortals Restaurant whose culinary skills were recognized as being better than Chef Hu was right in front of him!

While eating the fish, he would occasionally glance at the six-eyed monk sitting cross-legged in the tree, until the veins on the monk's arm, which was holding prayer beads, bulged!
But Chen Gou'er wasn't in such a hurry. Before last night, he might have been eager to see the Six-Eyed Monk, but after last night, he could only say that the Six-Eyed Monk would have to wait in the back!

Because he found Li Wushou's meat to be incredibly delicious!

While he was biting Li Wushou before, he had secretly tasted Li Wushou's flavor. Some time ago, when he crawled into Li Wushou's stomach to make a golden statue for the City God's mother, he even ate a piece of his belly.

But things have changed recently. Li Wushou's flesh seems to taste even better than the flesh and blood spirits cultivated by the monks of Blood Buddha Temple!

On the contrary, the old beggar's meat was very unpalatable, with a strong smell of incense ash!
Last night, in order to make himself look exactly like Li Wushou, Li Wushou cut off his own flesh and bled out blood.
After swallowing the flesh and blood, Chen Gou'er's body swelled up, and in an instant, he grew to be as tall as Li Wushou. From this point on, Chen Gou'er's aura was no different from Li Wushou's!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Gou'er chuckled, rubbed his face, and his face became exactly the same as Li Wushou's.

But at a glance, it's clear that the two have absolutely no connection!
Simply put, can you imagine Li Wushou with his bare bottom and a tuft of hair on his head, making a clattering sound?

Li Wushou couldn't stand it, so he quickly took off his high priest robe and put it on Chen Gou'er. He then untied Chen Gou'er's hair, as he wouldn't allow such a fashionable hairstyle to grow on his head.

After the old beggar asked for some hair, Chen Gou'er was transformed into his current appearance.

As Chen Gou'er ate the fish, he thought about what happened last night and was still savoring the memory. He wondered if Li Wushou had finished his business.
It would be great if we messed it up!

That way we can eat Li Wushou's flesh again next time!
