Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 52 Barbecue
After some bargaining, Tiedan and Catfish reached an agreement.

Wait for three days, and when the time comes, pick the spiritual fruit, pick it and lick it to taste it.

I came here to the market anyway, so it doesn't matter if I'm delayed for three days. Anyway, there's still some meat of the horse and dog monsters left, and I can roast it to replenish my qi and blood.

Well, Tiedan actually thinks it’s fine to eat it raw, but he doesn’t want the fish, he wants it cooked, and he even adds cumin. He’s quite particular…

But maybe that’s how it is in the fairy world. It’s no big deal if fish wants to eat barbecue. Tiedan said he could accept it.

So, although they had known each other for a long time, the man and the fish, who met for the first time, had a third kind of contact under the spiritual fruit tree, eating cumin barbecue, communicating through eye contact and writing.

Yes, this fish can write. It holds a branch in its mouth and writes. After writing, it taps its fins to add punctuation marks. It's quite particular...

But maybe that's how it is in the fairy world. It's no big deal if fish can write. Tiedan said he could accept it.

In short, while eating barbecue and chatting, Tiedan finally solved the confusion in his mind.

Oh, it turns out this is not a catfish.

Ahem, well, this fish, named Li Kun, with Taoist name Xiaoyao, was practicing under some Taoist master Bubble. Because its ancestor was so powerful, even Kun was able to ascend to heaven along with him.

However, Master Bubble calculated with his fingers and said that it would take it 48,000 years for it to reach adulthood. Right now, it was of no use. It had to eat a lot and poop on the kang. It had a lot of things to do and was very annoying, so he allowed it to go out and play.

Uh... well, um... big, maybe that's how it is in the fairy world. Fish cultivate to become immortals, and then run out to play, it's no big deal, Tiedan said he could accept it.

Tiedan: "So... you are a carp?"

As a result, the fish got angry and said that it was not a carp, but a Kun, so don't make a mistake. If you don't know how to read this word, you can also call it Li Xiaoyao.

Who can't read it? Oh my god, there's even a Taoist name! You're really particular...

Okay, okay... Although I don’t know what kind of mythical beast this Kun is, it certainly doesn’t look like a carp... Tiedan said he could accept it.

In short, Kun came down to the mortal world just to play, and the reason why he always followed Tiedan was very simple.

Because he is fun.

OK...right...

Well, maybe this is how the fairy world is. It’s no big deal if Kun wants to play with him. Tiedan said he can accept it.

So Tiedan summarized it himself.

This Kun is the pet of some Bubble Daoist Master's disciple. Probably because the master saw Tiedan helping to take care of the pet, he would occasionally blow a few bubbles to guide him in his practice, to prevent Tiedan from being accidentally killed by others and then having no fun with Kun.

Well, this is quite consistent with the common settings in fairy novels. So far, this is the only one. Tiedan said it is best to accept it...

What? What is Bubble Master?

Well, actually Kun did say it. He did say it, and it spit out a bubble.

But this time, Tiedan didn’t hear the sound in the bubble.

It's not 'no sound', it's 'can't hear'.

How to describe it? It's like the true scriptures are right in front of you, and the teacher is teaching them step by step, but some people just can't learn it, can't understand it, and can't be taught.

At this time, Tiedan, although he "heard" it, he "could not hear" it, so he could not understand the boss's real name, and could only temporarily call him "Bubble Daozu".

This is probably what is called...

The time has not come yet.

Tsk tsk, is this the real immortal master? His every move, every word and every action is so impressive...

Tiedan couldn't help but yearn for it, wondering when he could become the kind of person whose name would make people in the world speechless...

Kun glanced at him sideways, patted him with his fin, and told Tiedan to turn the barbecue over so that it wouldn't get burnt.

But I have to say that Kun knows how to barbecue.

Because Tiedan often hunted, he knew that the skin and flesh of wild monsters were very tough, and their bodies were all muscle, old, woody and fishy, ​​so they could not be cooked or eaten at all. So he had to cut them into slices while they were fresh, mix them with blood, and eat them raw so that they could be swallowed.

But this Kun is well versed in the art of grilling and cooking. He instructed Tiedan to cut the pork belly slices with fat and lean parts, and then washed them with the clear water from the spiritual spring to clean the filth and blood. Then he slowly stewed and pan-fried them with the three-way fire, and finally sprinkled them with pepper, salt and cumin. It shows that he never tires of eating fine food and never tires of mincing meat. He can grill meat for a whole night. No wonder the big guys find it annoying...

But it’s really delicious…

It took two days to cook the two monsters. Most of the food was eaten by Kun. Tiedan also learned the Samadhi Fire from Kun and got his first glimpse of the art of barbecue.

Kun was satisfied and said that you are a teachable boy and he would slowly pass on the "Book of Carefree Cooking" to you in the future.

Tiedan said it doesn't matter...

This continued until the third day, when the spiritual fruits on the cliff became increasingly juicy and colorful, with their spiritual energy growing stronger and shining brightly. They were almost ripe, as could be seen with the naked eye.

Troubles followed one after another.

"Haha! This treasure is destined for me!" A Jindan mage saw the treasure light from afar, and came riding a leopard on the clouds. The other person did not hesitate, and flew over directly and stretched out his hand to grab the spiritual fruit.

Then a flash of blood appeared, and four of the outstretched fingers were cut off by the invisible sword energy.

"Ah! Who is it! Who is plotting against me?"

The mage was shocked and hurriedly gathered his energy to defend himself, then reached out and took out a talisman.

But the sword light has arrived.

The Shengang sword turned and broke the protective Qi, then slashed the mage's head in half.

Tiedan, who was lying on the mountain wall and crawling between the steep rocks, also jumped down and pierced the leopard's head with a sword.

Pfft!
The two corpses fell heavily to the bottom of the mountain. After a moment, Tiedan jumped down like an antelope, wielding his sword to dismember the corpses.

Just as he was about to search for some magic weapon, Kun suddenly patted Tiedan with his fin.

Tiedan also understood what he meant, and immediately lay down among the corpses, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky.

Sure enough, another colorful cloud floated over.

The wizard in the clouds was riding a deer, and he also came here for the spiritual fruit.

However, the mage was more cautious and took a closer look. He saw the dead bodies all over the place and knew that this place was dangerous and there were evil people lying in ambush. He rode a deer and hovered in the sky for a while, with golden light shining all over his body. It was obvious that he was gathering Qi, adding talismans, chanting spells, and preparing for battle.

The opponent was a bit far away, and was circling in the sky. It seemed that he was experienced in combat and knew not to give others a chance to launch a sneak attack.

However, Tiedan also knew that when hunting, he first had to be patient and lie on the ground motionless, pretending to be dead.

Anyway, no matter how you move around or how you guard against it, you have to pick the fruit, right?

Tiedan had secretly buried the formless sword among the branches and leaves of the spiritual fruit. As long as he stretched out his hand, he could use a series of hidden sword sneak attacks, flying sword beheadings, and self-sacrificing thrusts.

No matter how capable you are, just take his three consecutive sword attacks first.

The deer-riding wizard prepared himself and made his move.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

There were four loud bangs, shaking the mountains and raising dust.

The wizard raised his hand, and golden light flashed, and he threw out four magic flags. The flags were three inches small when they were thrown, and grew into two meters long flags when they landed on the ground, fluttering in the wind, gathering the spiritual energy of the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, circling around the hillock, surrounding the precious trees and spiritual fruits in the core, and setting up a basic four-door formation.

Then the wizard leaped into the air, his robes fluttering, and he flew in the air, circling and soaring.

The spirit deer he was riding walked on the clouds and rode the wind, slowly approaching the spirit tree.

Wow... This guy is quite capable. I can't defeat him by force, I can only outsmart him...

Tiedan's eyes rolled and he came up with a plan. He used a hand gesture to take out the jade mirror used by the governor from the storage jade and secretly threw it outside the pile of corpses, thus setting a bait.

This trick really worked. The opponent had just set up a magic circle and spiritual energy was overflowing around. The jade mirror was contaminated by it and it was swept away by the dust and began to shine brightly.

The mage immediately noticed the precious light here. He was very careful and did not come to check it himself. He held the command flag in one hand to control the formation and held a jade token in the other hand for self-defense, and then gave an order.

The mount, the spirit deer, immediately turned around, gave up the spirit fruit, and flew over to check what was going on here.

Tsk, you still don't want to land? It's quite difficult. The distance is a little far. I don't know if I can deal with it by just stabbing with the flying sword. Or should I kill the deer first? But if the opponent activates the formation and bombards it, I'm afraid I will suffer again...

In this split second, Tiedan's mind raced, and he had rehearsed the sword several times. Seeing the spirit deer getting closer and closer, about to run past him, Tiedan also clenched the sword and was about to unsheathe...

"This fellow Taoist is so polite!"

Hearing the message transmitted over a thousand miles, the spirit deer suddenly stopped, then jumped back to the wizard.

Well, this fruit has brought someone here again...

I saw another colorful cloud floating from the sky, and with it came a man and a woman, one dressed in red, the other in purple, both with handsome faces, beautiful as flowers, like a pair of immortal lovers or just like lovebirds, coming hand in hand.

"I am Gong Chenghua from Zixuan Cave in Zigai Mountain. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

"I am Gong Yuyan from Zixuan Cave in Zigai Mountain. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

"Please be kind enough to give up this spiritual fruit. I am willing to exchange it for magical treasures and materials."

"If we can establish this good relationship, my husband and I will be deeply grateful to you, fellow Taoist."

The mage was straightforward and replied by reciting a poem.

"Water sings in the dragon pond, the sky ripples, the Yellow Spring rotates in the five elements,

The mountains, rivers and bright moon are in my hands, and the universe is transformed into water, fire and wind!
"Set up the formation!"
