Chapter 423 Leaving the Land of Fire
It takes about ten days to walk from the inner gate to the outer gate area.
The old ancestor Chao Fengtian has been silent since recent days and has not spoken much. He really did not expect that the changes in Eryuan Sect would be so great. Everywhere he looks, he sees dilapidated and decaying things, and the beautiful buildings have turned to dust.
All the flower seedlings have an inseparable bond with Eryuan Sect. How can they not be sad when they see the sect that raised them change into this state?
"Ancestor, why has our Binary Sect become like this? This shouldn't be the case."
"This Martial Arts Trial Hall is made of spiritual gold stone and contains a formation. Even a strong man in the Void Refining Realm would find it difficult to leave a scratch without using a magic weapon."
"Look at it, it has become like this now. It's even covered with moss. The spirituality inside has completely disappeared. It's no different from an ordinary stone."
Luo Xueer, one of the flower seedlings, finally couldn't help asking as she walked out of the Spirit Beast Forest and towards the ruins.
The architecture of the inner gate is okay.
The outer gate area is large, and there are more ruins as far as the eye can see.
The old ancestor pinched his chin and thought about this question seriously. This scene was also beyond his expectations. He needed to find a suitable explanation among his vast knowledge.
"Stupid!"
Wu Changkong continued, "It must be us who entered the Land of Fire. During the years when Wanbao Academy was dormant, the other disciples who were separated from us came back to cause trouble."
"Is there any other explanation?"
When the old ancestor Chao Fengtian heard what he said, he felt that it made a lot of sense and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, Changkong is right."
"I don't know what happened to the Huodi and Shenghua sects." Qing Nishang sighed.
"Wait until I enter the Mahayana stage, and then I'll reintegrate it." The old ancestor waved his hands impatiently, "It's not that difficult."
"Children, speed up your pace." The old ancestor shouted, and for some reason, he felt a sense of irritation in his heart.
A few pairs who were running out of energy and gradually falling behind suddenly perked up and jogged up.
"Ancestor, that inner demon..."
Someone just uttered the word "inner demon".
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird, and everyone looked at the person who had just spoken. Their gazes were like knives that could pierce a person into a sieve.
"I...I meant to say that the inner demon didn't follow me."
the man stammered.
"Humph!"
The old man flicked his sleeves and quickened his pace.
"Don't mention this person unless it's necessary. Are you trying to disturb us on purpose?" Li Moxun scolded.
"Zhou Nang, if you mention it again, don't blame us for abandoning you!"
……
We walked to a deep lake, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, and the scenery was pleasant.
It was just that the sky and the earth were dark, which invisibly dampened some of the beauty. When Chao Fengtian saw the lake, he laughed, and the gloom in his heart was invisibly swept away.
Qing Nishang asked him what he was laughing at. He pointed at the lake and looked very happy and proud. He asked everyone if they knew this place.
Many flower seedlings were promoted from the outer gate and are very familiar with the outer gate environment, but have no idea about this lake.
The ancestor told everyone that the name of the lake was Yanqiao Lake. The lake was not very eye-catching, but seeing this lake proved that they were not far from the exit.
It’s not far from the spiritual energy.
So, how could he not be happy? After hearing the news, other people also danced with joy and couldn't wait to embrace the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Although they lost a lot here, they gained one thing, which is also the thing they are most proud of.
That is to go against the truth of heaven and earth and accomplish the impossible.
Flowers and fruits bloom from the land of fire.
And it is this self who has suffered so much that is about to embrace the spiritual energy again.
Compared with what they have lost and what they are about to gain, the future they are looking forward to naturally has a greater impact on their emotions.
When everyone is excited.
Immediately, the old ancestor, with an inexplicable smile on his face, added fuel to the fire and told a few people another thing.
The lake is home to rock carp.
Just now, he happened to see a few rock fish swimming in the cracks between the rocks in the lake.
Hearing the word "Yanqiao fish", all the Hua Miaoli started drooling. Yanqiao fish ranks 89th on the list of delicacies from mountains and seas.
Although it is not beneficial to spiritual practice, the impact on the taste buds alone is enough to make people indulge in it and forget everything else.
All of a sudden.
Everyone cheered.
The old man laughed loudly, which he had not laughed for a long time.
He put his hands on his hips, took on the mountain, cloud, water and river robe, stood on the edge of the lake, and shouted loudly: "Hahahaha."
"Children, let's go fishing."
The joy of impending victory and liberation, the delicious food before dawn.
"Let's go fishing!"
One call and a hundred responses.
The old ancestor dived into the lake. Within half a second, he held a snow-white fish in his hands and poked his head out of the lake.
"What a big fish! Even before, I have never eaten such a big rockfish."
"Hahahaha, Ancestor, I caught it too!"
A man also poked his head out of the water, holding a four-pound rock carp.
The long-lost joy of harvest.
After an incense stick of time, everyone came ashore and caught a total of eight rock fish. The largest one weighed seven pounds, and the smallest one weighed three pounds.
These fish are snow-white all over, and they exude a fresh fragrance even before they are cooked.
It seems that if you hold it in your hands and chew it raw with your teeth, it would be a rare delicacy.
"Chao Mei, where are you going to get some lake water?"
"I, the ancestor, will personally entertain you little brats."
"I have a secret recipe for cooking this rockfish."
He laughed loudly at Fengtian.
Officially start to show your skills.
Remove the scales and internal organs, cut open the fish's belly with a knife and quickly remove the bones.
"Old Ancestor, don't you want to get rid of the fishy smell?"
"You know shit. If you use the water from the area where the rockfish live, the fishy smell will turn into umami. You can't get rid of the fishy smell. That's just an amateur's way of doing it."
"Although the deodorizing ingredients can bring out the deep flavor of the fish, they also mask the original flavor of the fish to a certain extent."
"That's not beautiful, not beautiful."
The old ancestor was very knowledgeable. He extracted the fish marrow, cut the fish meat, and when steaming the fish, he would pinch a little yellow mud on it, put it in a cloth bag, wrap it up, and throw it directly in to cook it together with the rock fish.
The yellow mud gives the soup a sense of earthiness, or the smell of soil. Freshness alone is not enough.
This is not over yet.
The old man took out the fish belly, cut out the fish meat, wrapped the fish meat in the fish belly, and grilled it on the fire. Soon, the sound of sizzling oil could be heard.
The fish meat wrapped in the fish belly was still oozing with fish juice. Someone couldn't wait to take one out to taste it. After taking a bite, the juice overflowed.
The aroma is tangy.
"Hahaha, look how anxious you are."
Wait until all the fish food is ready.
Nineteen people sat together, enjoying the delicious food. It seemed that all their worries had disappeared at this moment.
“Spiritual energy… Damn spiritual energy, I’m coming!”
"Hahaha."
Everyone laughed.
