Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 268 Mountains and Seas

"Master Walker, you are about to start the Yamabu incident!"

"Your long-term Yamabu event: the four signs of heaven and earth, regulating the four seasons (4/24) is triggered!"

You gain an additional Yamabu event.

Investigate the root cause of the water vapor disturbance in Qiantang River, suppress the flood peak, and ensure the smooth completion of the chef competition.

Note: You can deepen your understanding of the weather and climate through this event, and have a chance to obtain secret enhancements related to the 24 solar terms.

Coming!

The lush green forest has leaves of varying shades and shades covered with dewdrops that are about to fall. It is still dark in the early morning, and the winding and rugged path is lined with pine and cypress trees that are so dense that there is no place to stand.

Qin Huai, who was lying in the hammock between the trees, sat up. He was wearing a light hunting suit, and the short-sleeved linen shirt made of coarse cloth was mostly wet by the morning mist. The charcoal fire pile not far away still had some dark red left, and a few hares tied with straw ropes were piled next to it. They seemed to have no external injuries, but they were a little exaggeratedly large.

Qin Huai stretched his body, stretched his muscles, and turned his head to look around.

On the tree trunk near his upper body, in addition to the hammock, there were also an ox horn hunting bow and a pot of feather arrows hanging on two thick iron nails, which looked like they could be easily reached out and used.

The hunting bow is smooth and shiny, with long and evenly laid bars, and simple copper hoops and ox horns at both ends. It is a good bow that has been used for many years. Although the quality is only excellent, combined with the current environment, it also helps Qin Huai reveal the identity of the homonymous from the side.

A hunter.

He is also a powerful hunter who dares to enter the mountains at night and is not afraid of being targeted by tigers and wolves.

Qin Huai turned over and jumped off the hammock, and with a thought, he summoned the wind to blow away the thick, fat-like mist around him.

A breeze blew into the charcoal fire and reignited the slightly warm embers. Qin Huai put on his hunting bow and quiver, placed the machete leaning against the tree trunk at his feet, took out a pot of [Qi and Blood Replenishment] from the [Zen Hui Bowl] in the space, and sat by the fire to eat.

The faint morning light shone through the layers of leaves and formed words in front of Qin Huai.

"Time: 1035

Location: Yuanshan, Lin'an Prefecture, 120 degrees east longitude, 30 degrees north latitude.

Ordinary, court banquet, real taste, Taoist offering, heavenly feast.

The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and wars. Since ancient times, people have offered sacrifices to the unknown and comforted the people.

The Song Dynasty was established not long ago. The people were cultivating themselves and all industries were waiting to be developed. The four departments and six bureaus in charge of food affairs held a chef competition in Lin'an.

The nine provinces and eighteen regions are prosperous and wealthy, and are the most beautiful place in the world.

Humans eat ghost sacrifices, Taoists eat Buddhist food, and there are strange beasts from the mountains and seas.

Five flavors and eight delicacies, Liao witch, jade food fairy, walking dragon turning into dragon, Kitchen God.

The temperature of heat and knife skills, sacrifice and cooking, ambition and conspiracy.

Food is the most important thing for people, and now gluttons appear in the world!
The requirements of this Yanfu event are as follows:

1. Obtain the Yama token which also has the power of Taotie.

2. Hunt down the best parts of at least thirty-six kinds of delicious exotic animals!

3. Taste at least seventy-two magical dishes with different effects!

4. As the kitchen assistant to Cha and Ding, he successfully helped the two chefs obtain the qualifications of spiritual chefs!
Qin Huai took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, with some memories of his original body still in his mind.

First of all, this is Lin'an Prefecture in the early 11th century. Due to some special reasons, the Song Dynasty was much stronger than the records in Tianjiu history. Although the Khitan Liao Kingdom in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun repelled several northern expeditions by the Four Elephants Imperial Guards, it was too embarrassed to force the government to pay annual tribute. The root of the Song Dynasty's military might is inseparable from this group with a very high status in the world.

chef.

In other words, it is a spiritual kitchen that can be used to worship, practice, and entertain the gods and comfort the people.

These magical chefs can use their superb skills and a variety of ingredients to create delicious dishes with magical effects.

Those who practice martial arts can use these magical dishes to constantly temper themselves and develop courage and strength that ordinary people can never match.

The eighteen places of Kyushu are rich in natural resources and produce a lot of precious materials. Naturally, the number of brave generals and brave soldiers they support is greater than that of the surrounding states.

Qin Huai is now one of the four departments and six bureaus, a member of the Wild Hunting Bureau. Nicknamed the Tiger-Headed God, he is an exotic animal hunter who specializes in providing delicacies from the mountains and the sea for the spiritual chefs.

Well, my parents died early and I have no relatives, so I can be said to be alone.

In addition to this identity, Qin Huai also obtained 70% hunting expertise, and can be said to be a real experienced hunter.

Every time you complete the long-term Yamabu event of [Four Symbols of Heaven and Earth, Regulating the Four Seasons], you will receive a special reward. Among the rewards, there may be a scroll of inheritance containing the content of this event, or you may extract some treasures from the fruit.

Last time in Tianbao, Qin Huai could have had one more chance to obtain clues about the inheritance of Luwu and Tianwu if he had followed the routine, but later the long-term Yanfu event was replaced by the large-scale Yanfu event, and it had to be left unresolved.

This long-term Yamabu event must not be missed at all.

Even if I don't get anything related to inheritance in the end, the guaranteed precious Guichou fruit shouldn't be that bad, right?
"Oh, this time the Song Dynasty finally stood up. It wasn't easy."

Qin Huai muttered to himself, grabbed his machete and stood up.

He is now alone in the mountains and has to find a way to meet up with Cha Xiaodao and Ding Ru.

"You initiate a short-distance conversation with your fellow travelers."

"I'm in the mountains southwest of Lin'an Prefecture? Where are you two?"

"We were boating and fishing on West Lake. What a coincidence. I was just about to go talk to you when you called me."

"We are so in tune with each other. You two wait at West Lake. I'll be there soon."

Qin Huai hung up the conversation, took out a compass to determine the direction, and then walked into the depths of the fog.

Underfoot is rotten black mud formed by years of fallen leaves. It feels loose and soft when you step on it, as if the rotten leaves will poke a hole in it if you stomp your feet a little.

"It's strange, why is the soil in the mountains of Lin'an so similar to that in Jiaozhi Annan?"

Qin Huai walked onto the narrow path, looking at the distinct yellow soil and black mud under his feet, and thinking of the abnormally thick morning fog around him, he couldn't help but feel alert.

Since ancient times, there have been many dragons and snakes in deep mountains and swamps, while tigers and leopards live in dense forests and valleys.

After all, it is the fruit ranked first in the Guichou axis, so it is better to be careful.

Qin Huai pulled out [Lust] and tied it to his waist along with the shark skin scabbard so that he could use it at any time.

As time passed, Qin Huai, who was trekking in the old forest, finally realized that something was wrong, because the surrounding environment did not brighten with the daylight, but became darker and deeper.

You know, with Qin Huai's current speed, even without Yun Yi, he can travel dozens of kilometers in an hour. But he has only walked for fifteen minutes and has not yet walked out of the forest.

Are there mountains stretching for dozens of miles around Lin'an?

As Qin Huai was thinking, the incessant chirping of insects and birds suddenly stopped and an unexpected gust of wind blew up in the forest.

A fishy wind suddenly came out of nowhere.

Suddenly a strong wind blew away the dead branches and rotten leaves, and the fishy smell made people dizzy. When the wind passed, there was a sound of falling to the ground behind the trees, and a big white-browed insect with hanging eyes jumped out.

The clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger!
Qin Huai had seen many ordinary tigers, so he was not afraid of them. However, the giant tiger in front of him was not only terrifyingly huge, but also had two yellow wings on its back!

"Be good."

A black ripple flashed across Qin Huai's eyes.

[Winged Tiger]: One of the millions of delicious species in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it can control wind and fog, and has the power to break gold and split stone. Rating: Top 10
Precious food ingredient, which can increase tendon toughness and bone strength after consumption.

In the Wild Hunting Bureau's catalog, winged tigers can be classified as Huangding grade, and a pair of their wings can be the main ingredient for [Garden Banquet] grade dishes.

Skills: [Mist] [Fierce Tail Scissors] [Tiger Roar Thunder Sound]

Note 1: Certain traditions related to food can bring out the full value of the ingredients.

Note 2: The wings of the [Winged Tiger] can be regarded as the essence of this delicious exotic beast!

"nice one!"

A sapphire light flashed in Qin Huai's eyes, and he rushed forward, pointing the machete in his hand directly at the tiger's brow.

The winged tiger followed Qin Huai all the way, but due to the terrifying aura of a top predator emanating from this man, it was reluctant to make a move. But when it saw that this rare blood food was about to leave the forest, it could no longer suppress its hunger and thirst, and finally jumped out.

The huge tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead pressed its two front paws slightly on the ground, then raised its body and pounced upwards. Its huge tiger body stood up, and its claws as big as millstones hit Qin Huai's head and face fiercely with the power to break gold and split stone.

If this were to happen, even if Qin Huai had many other benefits, he would still suffer a severe concussion.

The knife whistled past.

The pair of round yellow pupils of the winged tiger seemed to be intelligent. With a twist of its front paws, it smashed the ordinary soldier's machete into pieces.

"What a beast!"

Qin Huai laughed and didn't care, because he had already tricked the giant tiger into its arms, and his left hand had already grasped the short sword at his waist!

The blood-colored dragon snake leaped up, and the shimmering blade danced in a swift arc in the air, slashing towards the throat of the giant tiger that was half a body taller than Qin Huai.

The ferocious and terrifying tiger head shrank back without any warning, and the wings behind its shoulder blades flapped with force, as if trying to avoid the fleeting blood-red lightning.

But Qin Huai was too fast. The high-frequency oscillating short knife swept across the giant tiger's neck without any hesitation, smashing the throat artery into pieces.

A streak of bright red, sticky blood stuck to the tip of the knife, and then turned into a fine blood mist.

Boom~
Blood flowed everywhere and the giant tiger was killed.

"Tiger blood strengthens the spirit and will, so it can't be wasted."

Qin Huai licked his lips, then summoned the wind to gather the hot tiger blood that was gushing out like a fountain and poured it into the porcelain bottle.

When the tiger died, the fog dissipated, and all the strange things disappeared. After most of the blood in the tiger's corpse had drained out, Qin Huai threw it into his personal space, and walked out quickly while the sky was bright.

After walking for a while, Qin Huai saw a fort in front of him. The soldiers guarding the gate were wearing bright armor and holding powerful crossbows in their hands.

"A fortress? How could there be such a thing in the heart of Shenzhou?"

Qin Huai began to doubt. He inherited few memories from his original body, so he was inevitably confused by what he saw.

"Brother Tiger Head, you stayed in the mountains all night yesterday. With our archery skills, we only managed to hunt a few young rabbits? Didn't we encounter any big ones?"

The gatekeeper seemed to be familiar with the original body. As Qin Huai approached, he started chatting with a smile.

"I've had bad luck these past few days. I did run into a big shipment, but unfortunately not only did I break my machete, but I also let that beast escape in the end. Tell me, who can I go to for justice?"

Qin Huai sighed lightly, separated the two rabbits and hung them on the gatekeeper's waist.

"The weapons made by ordinary blacksmiths are not as good as the claws of strange beasts. Brother Hutou, when you return to Jiuzhou this time, you can go to Heji Blacksmith Shop in Lin'an Prefecture to have a look."

The gatekeeper approached Qin Huai and whispered, "The master carpenter of the He family is my cousin. If you mention my name, you can get a much cheaper price!"

"If I have time, I will definitely come and bother you, but Lin'an has been a mixed bag lately, and I'm afraid I'll be too busy to do anything."

"Then I wish you great fortune."

The gatekeeper glanced at the hunting bow behind Qin Huai and said with a smile, "The gate is open today, you can go there by yourself."

"Thanks. I'll come back and have a drink with you."

Although he didn't know what a boundary gate was, Qin Huai still nodded vaguely and walked in.

There are not many buildings in the fort. Apart from the barracks for the stationed soldiers, there are a few tiny warehouses, a blacksmith shop and a tailor shop.

What stands out among these low buildings is a grand three-story restaurant.

Qin Huai's gaze did not stay on the restaurant for too long, because his attention was all on the colorful vortex portal next to it.

[Gate between Two Realms]: Created by heaven and earth, it is the gateway between the Nine Provinces and the Eighteen Lands and the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Note: The government has expressly prohibited the entry of the weak, and unauthorized spirit cooks are also not allowed to take risks. The only people who can freely come and go are the exotic beast hunters registered with the Wild Hunting Bureau and the chief food cultivators of the Taoist and Buddhist Hundred Veins.

In front of the [Two Worlds Gate] there were fully armed soldiers holding crossbows, ten in total in two rows. The outline of each person was glowing with a faint red light in Qin Huai's quick glance.

"These elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty stationed at the boundary gate are not simple."

Looking at the feedback from Jinghong, Qin Huai also understood where the weirdness he had felt before came from.

It turns out that the Shanhai Realm where he is now and the West Lake of Lin'an Prefecture where Cha Xiaodao is are not in the same place at all!
"That's why there are so many towering ancient trees in the mountains and why the size of the prey is much larger than normal."

Qin Huai sighed in his heart and walked towards the [Gate between Two Worlds].

"put!"

The leading captain glanced at Qin Huai sideways without checking anything. He waved his hand and the crossbowmen behind him made way in an official manner.

"Thanks."

Qin Huai nodded slightly in greeting, then rushed headfirst into the colorful vortex portal.

The world is spinning.

After a slight feeling of dizziness, Qin Huai slowly opened his eyes and looked around, which seemed to be a hall for purchasing furs and food ingredients.

Suddenly, a big chubby hand reached out to grab the rabbit skewers that Qin Huai was holding!

Qin Huai quickly moved to the side to avoid being grabbed, and then the voice of the person coming sounded in his ears.

"Huzi, you've been out for a whole day and night, but how come you only got a few young rabbits?"

A plump ball of flesh flashed out from the side. He was wearing a green official robe, but there was a thin layer of red dangerousness on his body.

He looks like an official from the Wild Hunting Bureau who is skilled in martial arts. He also looks familiar, but I can’t remember his name.

"bad luck."

Qin Huai shook his head, turned around, took two steps, and placed the rabbit skewers on a very conspicuous large scale.

"Seventy-six and eight ounces of tender rabbit, boneless and skinned, about thirty ounces of pure meat, can be exchanged for three ounces of silver!"

The clerk quickly gave a price.

"Changed."

Qin Huai spoke briefly, collected the change and walked out.

"Huzi! Wait, let me tell you, I found a good deal for you recently!"
