What kind of Journey to the West is this?

OK OK.

Yan Xia was at her wit's end. She turned into a tough guy, sticking out her tongue and acting like a scoundrel. "Lululu, then go and impeach me. The worst that can happen is I'll just quit."

Jiang Banxia was slightly stunned.

She didn't expect Yan Xia to be so free and easy. After thinking about it, she couldn't find any good way to deal with her.

Seeing that her usual methods were ineffective, she was also depressed, puffing up her cheeks and warning: "Then I will beat you!"

"Hit someone? Wuwuwu... I've encountered the plague god, I'm not clean anymore!"

Yanxia started crying first, making a good first move.

Jiang Banxia was stunned for a moment, and said depressedly: "Miaoyan Palace really found a treasure."

After saying that, a puff of green smoke emerged and enveloped Jiang Banxia.

In the blink of an eye, people were gone.

................

After tricking Jiang Banxia away, Yan Xia felt that she would be impeached sooner or later, but she didn't care.

After all, I am following the will of the Heavenly Lord who saves the suffering. If something really happens, there are people above to help me.

Yanxia waited in the pharmacy for a while, and Yu Qinghuai came out of the pharmacy holding a small porcelain bottle.

Yan Xia asked curiously, "Are you refining medicine?"

"Help Xue Shi'er refine some beauty pills. She's selling them at her stall lately. I also picked up some agarwood on the way so I can stock up on incense and candles when I get back."

No wonder the two of them ran to the pharmacy.

After a while, the little girl in the dark blue jacket came out.

Yan Xia asked seriously, "Xue Shi'er, Xue Shi'er!"

"what?"

"Xue Shi'er, do you think I look like a fairy or a god?"

Snow Lion: “…”

For a moment, the little girl was speechless.

Yan Xia chuckled and stopped teasing her. She asked, "There's a family dinner tonight. Xue Shi'er, change your clothes. Qing Huai, come too."

Yu Qinghuai asked in surprise: "A family dinner?"

Hearing the word "family dinner", Yu Qinghuai's heart began to pound.

She had already thought about what kind of wine to order tonight. She was drunken and spoke sweet words to the glass.

But then she thought again, Xue Shier was also there, so it would be difficult for her to perform well.

"Yes. Master has made great contributions in eliminating evil, and Qinghuai and Xueshier have also helped me a lot. I specially organized a banquet to reward everyone."

"So that's it."

There was a hint of loss in Yu Qinghuai's voice.

Yan Xia saw Yu Qinghuai's thoughts and added, "My skills in drawing talismans have also improved. Can Qinghuai come and teach me after dinner?"

The temple girl was slightly startled, her fingers behind her back tugging at the hem of her clothes, and nodded, "That's exactly what I wish for."

Xue Shier's mind was full of Taoist priests and spiritual practice, but when he saw the two of them still wanting to learn the art of drawing talismans late at night, he secretly felt something was wrong.

——Others are practicing so hard, so what reason does she have to slack off?

She grabbed the corner of Yanxia's clothes and said seriously, "I also want to practice hard!"

An Yanxia and Yu Qinghuai: “???”

Well, cats do have a bit of a circuitous train of thought...

Yanxia was still thinking about setting up a team at the altar, and wanted to get Jinquexianer to join. It would be even better if Qinggeng could be brought in as well.

So he asked, "Where are Que Xian'er and Qing Geng? Why can't I see them?"

"Qing Geng went overseas. He said he was preparing food for the winter." Yu Qinghuai helped explain.

Qing Geng's cultivation depended entirely on eradicating the plague, a virtue she possessed. Consequently, she was constantly on the move, often rushing to the next location after the plague had been eradicated, rarely stopping.

Yanxia couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. She had thought she could get Qinggeng into her gang.

Thinking about it this way, Jinquexian'er is probably busy with something important.

"Que Xian'er went home to sleep."

Yes, this is indeed Jinquexian'er's character. Young people just need good sleep!

"Okay, Qinghuai, I remember you were practicing the Zhengyi Talisman, right?"

Yan Xia has set her sights on Yu Qinghuai's connections.

"That's right, Senior."

When talking about his own lineage, Yu Qinghuai puffed out his chest slightly, finally looking somewhat confident.

"My family is from the Zhengyi Longhushan branch of Huoju, and I received the talismans from the Tianshi Mansion."

Zhengyi, Longhu Mountain, and Tianshi Mansion actually refer to the same thing.

It is the lineage of Zhang Tianshi, collectively known as the "Zhengyi School" or "Tianshi Dao", with its ancestral temple in Longhu Mountain, and is one of the three systems of Xuanmen.

The remaining two lineages are the lineage of Ge Xuan Ge Tianshi, namely the "Lingbao School", with its ancestral temple located in Gezhao Mountain; and the lineage of Mrs. Wei Huacun, namely the "Shangqing School", with its ancestral temple located in Maoshan.

In addition, there are many branches, such as the Louguan School, Bei Tianshi, Bojia Dao, and Jingming Dao, but their influence is much smaller than that of the three systems.

The Zhengyi sect is an expert at slaying evil spirits, subduing ghosts, and conquering monsters. They are also skilled at clearing mountains, destroying temples, summoning spirits, and conferring titles on gods.

It just meets Yanxia's needs.

Donghuang suddenly sent a jade talisman: Chapter 100 [Heavy Snow, Light Snow, Ginseng and Lamb]

Xue Shier and Yu Qinghuai followed Yanxia all the way back to Qing'anju.

At this moment, Luo Sushang also came back, holding a thick and big ginseng in her hand.

Yan Xia took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "There is such a big ginseng? It's not easy!"

"The City God sent it to me, saying it would nourish my body. I think it's useless, so I might as well give it to you, Junior Sister."

Luo Sushang shook her head slightly and said, "It's not too late now. We can just make a pot of mutton soup."

"Too."

Yanxia was greedy and felt that the mutton soup made from this thing would be very nutritious.

Maybe they are too weak to be replenished.

But it’s okay. Those who come to eat are all cultivators. If they take too much, at worst they can just refine it into water, grain, essence and blood at night, so it won’t be wasted.

Yanxia threw the ginseng to the kitchen. The cooks had never seen such a large ginseng, and for a while they couldn't find a good ingredient to make the staple food.

When Luo Sushang heard about this, she flew out of the city with her sword without saying a word. After searching for a while, she asked the God of Land a few questions and learned that a young ewe that had just become a spirit had appeared in a farmer's sheep pen.

This little ewe was really amazing. She had accidentally developed some techniques for sexual intercourse and had developed some magical powers. She would suppress the male goats and engage in sexual intercourse whenever she had nothing to do. In a short while, all the male goats in the sheepfold had lost weight.

Because the ram had lost its energy, the ewe set its sights on the farmer, bleating at night to seduce him. The farmer was so scared that he ran to the land temple to burn incense the next day.

Luo Sushang fled to the farmer's house, first threw down a tael of silver, and then used talismans to suppress the sheep monster.

He cut the sheep's throat with a sword to let the blood flow, and then chopped off the sheep's head, ending the little ewe's romantic life.

Before the sun set, a large pot of freshly cut mutton appeared in the kitchen of Qing'anju.

Although this sheep demon committed evil deeds during his lifetime, he died a worthy death, contributing his precious and delicious meat. His death was noble, more important than Mount Tai, and very valuable.

Yanxia drooled a little to express her condolences.

Xue Shier came and also drooled, but he was more reserved than Yan Xia and even slurped a few times.

Over there, Bai Zhu was still preparing the banquet.

Yu Qinghuai seemed to be in the kitchen, asking the chef for advice on cooking skills.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. It is very rare for a lady from a noble family like this to ask about cooking skills.

But Yu Qinghuai lived alone in the City God Temple, so it was obviously not far away. After a few visits, he became very interested in the An family's kitchen.

She was amazed by the iron pots, woks, marinades, and broths. She felt like she had entered the Grand View Garden, filled with new and unusual gadgets she had never seen before.

Coach An came to the kitchen early and gave instructions, saying:

To make a pot of angelica, ginseng and lamb soup, use 2.6 jin (2.6 kg) of mutton ribs, chop them into small pieces, blanch them in water and set aside. Add 3 liang (2.5 kg) of ginger, crush it, and pan-fry the lamb in oil until cooked through. Once the water boils, add the mutton. Add 8 or 9 slices of angelica, 3 liang (2.5 kg) of goji berries and ginseng root slices, and 27 red dates.

Four lamb legs, one braised, one steamed, and two roasted, each with its own unique flavor. Onion, ginger, cooking wine, Sichuan peppercorns, and cumin are all present, but the only missing chili pepper is peppercorns and cornelian jujube sauce.

The internal organs and sheep's head were not left out. In that era, the upper class people did not eat offal, but Cang Yue never avoided it. The chef was also experienced and just used it to braise it.

Yanxia walked around the yard and smelled a faint fragrance.

Xue Shier was also bored, so he wandered around the street with Yan Xia.

Next door to Qing'anju lived a family of scholars. The head of the family was named Feng. He was a teacher in a private school and was a good painter.

However, Mr. Feng has many children at home, so he has some side jobs.

He actually secretly drew erotic paintings for bookstores, and the subjects were very wide-ranging, so wide-ranging that even a modern person like An Yanxia was surprised.

Ah, you asked Yanxia how she knew that?

Food and sex!

We won't talk much about this matter. This teacher was telling fortunes for someone under the old locust tree at the entrance of the alley.

Most of the people in the streets and alleys are neighbors who have finished their dinner. They sit in the corners, put out a Liubo or gambling table, and watch until curfew.

Therefore, some people set up stalls and do small business with the mentality of making as much money as possible.

Master Feng took two deep breaths of the aroma, and when he saw Yan Xia strolling over, he asked with a cheeky face, "Miss An, what are you having for dinner? Why does it smell so good?"

"I cut some mutton. To nourish the children."

Yanxia just brushed it off without saying much.

The little ewe was not big enough for them to share, so it was indeed not appropriate to give it to outsiders.

When Xue Shier heard the word "child", he glared at An Yanxia angrily.

"Children need more nutrition."

Mr. Feng was a little envious, but when he heard that it was made for children, he felt embarrassed to say that he was eating for free.

There is not much delicious food these days. Being able to eat boiled meat in plain water is a delicacy. As for braised or stewed dishes, they are probably only available during festivals.

He glanced at Xue Shi'er, gave her a thumbs up and said, "This girl is very talented!"

Yanxia was amused by Xueshier's bewildered look.

"I'm praising you."

After another stroll, the neighbors, who had never seen a snow lion before, kept praising it.

Yanxia was in a good mood, chatting with others about whatever they had to do.

Xue Shier had never seen such a scene before. He was confused and shy, and pulled Yan Xia to go home halfway.

I had no choice but to turn back. It happened that Luo Sushang had been recuperating in the pharmacy for several days and wanted to experience the local customs and people. Yanxia was out for a stroll with her busty master again.

Master Feng asked in confusion, "Is this also your relative?"

It is true that like fathers, like mothers, like sons. The An family is really good-looking.

"Teacher."

"Shame on you! Shame on you!" Master Feng clasped his fists repeatedly.

Luo Sushang was also well versed in divination. She glanced at the pile of bamboo sticks scattered on Master Feng's stall and asked curiously, "Three renditions and eighteen changes, and the yarrow stalks form a hexagram?"

"You are a master!"

Master Feng clasped his fists and said respectfully, "It is indeed the Yarrow Hexagram."

Yan Xia was also bored, so she asked, "I've been in some trouble recently, could you help me with some divination?"
