Chapter 152: The salt-baked chicken that monsters love to eat

Wen Liangyu was stunned. This half-demon body brought him too much pain, and he was so excited just now that he didn't even think about it.

Changtian also said: "If you become a human, you will be born like grass, your life will be thinner than paper, and you will live eighty years at most; if you become a demon, you must start from scratch to practice the demon path." However......" he solemnly reminded, "if you wash away the blood of the people, the nature of the demon clan will begin to affect you in the future." You are not born a demon, but you are an acquired transformation, and your resistance to demons such as violence, anger, and sorrow is even worse, and if you are not careful, you will destroy your nature and kill you into a demon. Can you afford this?"

Wen Liangyu's body inherited the bloodline of Lord Wen. Does this old man's calculations against him make him hate being a human other half, but for the past twenty years, he has been raised as a human being. If he is a demon and his mind is human, will he be able to get used to the life of a monster in the future?

To wash away the blood of man is to wash away human nature. From now on, Wen Liangyu can only live as a pure youkai. As we all know, in this world, many yokai are not so friendly to humans, which is determined by the nature of yokai. Will Wen Liangyu be like them in the future?

Wen Liangyu's eyes flashed, and he said resolutely: "I want to be a demon!" Divine Monarch just rest assured, I will never be swayed by the demons in my heart. "Twenty years of living in seclusion brought him not only pain, but also perseverance, and a few demons, what can he do? He has already thought clearly, only by changing blood to a pure monster can he survive in this troubled world, and only have the opportunity to fight for the right to control his own destiny!

"Good. Ready, let's start casting. Changtian turned to Ning Xiaoxian, "You, go out first." Twelve hours later, I will inform you. You're allowed to come in. ”

Is she really the master of this god's prison, why can he call at her?

She couldn't help but be coquettish: "I really can't watch and learn from the sidelines?!"

"The Blood Exchange Technique is a very cruel secret technique, and for the recipient, it will be extremely painful, and I don't know if Wen Boy will be able to persevere until the end. You're not fit to be watching. He didn't want her to see such a bloody and cruel scene. Even if this kind of scene may not be less on the westward journey in the future.

He glanced at her, his eyes full of unease, "During this time, I will close the magic eye, and I will no longer be able to perceive the outside breath." In other words, I can't take care of you for these twelve hours. ”

Call. She's still a big deal. It's just a 24-hour loss of contact, what's the big deal?

"Don't be afraid!" she reassured him, "Pisces City is ahead." It's a big deal, for the past twelve hours, I've stayed in the city and didn't move. There's at least a few thousand people in this city, isn't it?

"Be careful yourself. I'll let Poor Qi help you. ”

It was a good day. The weather is sunny and the sun is mild, so it is advisable to hurry. It is advisable to go into the city.

So Ning Xiaoxian was near noon. Finally rushed to the first small county town in Leizhou - Pisces City.

The water network in Leizhou is staggered, and the most typical representative is the famous Wudalian Lake. Due to the abundant water and humid atmosphere, the vegetation in this state is generally lush, and there are very few scenes of giant trees and sparse forests like Fengzhou. And Pisces City is in the remote corner of Leizhou, very close to the pass. It's just a small place with a population of less than 7,000 people, and it doesn't have any special properties, but it enjoys the gift of heaven.

Just outside Pisces is a huge saltwater lake. The salinity is a little higher than that of seawater. The species in the saltwater lake are not abundant, and it was not realistic for Pisces City to eat the lake from the lake, until people discovered that the saltwater lake actually had the tide rising and falling, and then they came up with the idea of using it.

Pisces City opened up salt pans and built dams around the lake. This salt pan is like an ordinary farmland, which is divided into rectangular grids by Qianmo. At high tide, the lake floods into the salt pans, and people close the dams, waiting for the blazing sun to evaporate the water, leaving behind white grains of salt. When the salt farmers have harvested this batch of salt, they open the dam again and put in the water...... And so on and so forth.

Needless to say, the importance of salt is that if you don't eat salt for a long time, you will become very weak. It's far from the coast, so salt, a necessity, is in high demand. In ancient China, salt and iron were often side by side, as the two major commodities of the central government, the common people and the local chaebols had no right to engage in the production and business activities of these two things, and there was only one way for violators - beheading, which is the so-called "official mountain and sea" system.

In this world, there is no central government with centralized power in the pan-continent, and the immortals and demons are not much interested in mortal silver, so the salt business can flow into the homes of ordinary people. There are no other salt pans within thousands of miles nearby, and this single business alone is enough to feed everyone in Pisces City.

It was nearly October when Ning Xiaoxian arrived, the sun was gradually waning, and the operation of Yantian this year had come to an end. The salt pans she saw as she passed by the saltwater lake happened to be the last batch of the year. The snow-white grains of salt have been piled up into small snow-capped mountains in the endless expanse. Some of the children who live in the neighborhood come here to play with the snowman, but the material used is salt, and these "salt men" look beautiful and interesting.

Eat salt by salt. Ning Xiaoxian entered Pisces City with the intention of adding some household goods to the cabin in the Gods and Demons Prison, so as not to sleep on the floor all day, but after entering the city, he couldn't help but ask where the best food was the most authentic. As a result, what Qianfu refers to is the taste shop.

Although this house is called "Fang", it is actually just a small shop on the main street of Pisces City, and it seems crowded with six or seven people standing in it, so there is no dine-in service here, only people can buy and take away. It also only sells one thing – salt-baked chicken. The taste of salt baking has been passed down for more than 200 years, and the most basic ingredients used are salt from saltwater lakes and free-range chickens raised outside Pisces City.

This shop is very easy to find on the main street. Mo said that there are only a few streets and alleys in Pisces City, and you will know where the taste shop is when you stop on the street - the one with the largest queue outside.

She was about to walk over, but there was a slight vibration on the surface, and a resident behind her exclaimed, "Lord Qi is here!" and then consciously stood on both sides of the street.

She also followed the example of the others and stood aside before looking back, and sure enough, a giant beast slowly walked in the distance of the street! Its head was at least a foot high, its head was like a dragon, it was shaped like a horse, it was like a deer, its tail was like an ox's tail, it had a single horn on its head, it had multicolored hair stripes on its back, and its belly was bright yellow. All in all, it was a colorful monster in the shape of a four-shaped monster, and the strange thing was that when the people around her saw this monster, no one was panicked, and the color of surprise and reverence on their faces was even stronger.

She quietly tugged at the sleeve of an uncle next to her: "Uncle, what kind of monster is this?"

Unexpectedly, people glared at her, and said angrily: "Hmph, monster? You actually compare Lord Qi to a monster, and you are not afraid of losing your life!"

She stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, so she apologized and flattered the middle-aged man for a while, and finally coaxed the middle-aged man to be happy, and then she accentuated her tone: "Do you know the benevolent beast Qilin? ”

She suddenly realized, no wonder this monster looked so familiar, it turned out to be a legendary holy beast. In Mr. Yan's book, it is recorded that although this kind of benevolent beast can spit fire with its mouth and its voice is like thunder, it has a gentle temperament, does not hurt people and animals, and does not even trample on flowers and plants. It's easy to tell the difference between male and female, and the male has a single horn on his head, so the giant beast that came alone must be a unicorn.

She looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt a little strange, because this unicorn actually came straight towards the taste shop. The long queue in front of the shop also dispersed automatically, freeing up an open space for it. The unicorn seems to have a very gentle temperament, and when it passes in front of a few roadside stalls, it does not even raise dust, and even if children play under its feet, it will not trample on people.

Ning Xiaoxian couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't it turn into a human form?" Changtian is busy operating on Wen Liangyu, where will he be distracted to pay attention to her?

Qi Qi said: "This unicorn is at least 1,300 years old, and it has passed the maturity stage, so it can naturally transform into a human." However, the tempers of the monsters in the world are different, and there are many mythical beasts that do not like to travel the world in human form. Well, I'm just a few drops of essence blood taken out of Qi Qi's body, and the owner of these few drops of essence blood back then never disdained to change into a human being. ”

"That'...... What about Changtian?" she asked quietly. At this time, he had no time to take care of her, so it was a good time to ask Qiqi in private, "In ancient times, did he like to take on human form?"

Qi Qihaha laughed: "That's natural. The true body of the Lord Changtian is so huge, if you don't use the human form to walk in the world, I really don't know how laborious it will be! The appearance of the Lord outside this body is also for the sake of more convenience. ”

She couldn't help but ask, "What does Changtian's real body look like, and how big is it?"

Qi Qi refused to say any more: "Mistress, don't embarrass me." Walk to the west of Nanzhan Bu Chau and you'll find out. I just said that the tongue is so bright, how can you see such a shock?"

As he spoke, the unicorn really walked outside the taste shop and stopped, raising its giant palm. Its forepaw was thicker than the doorpost of an ordinary home, but it was raised high and fell gently. By the time it withdrew its forepaw, there were twenty taels of silver and a pocket on the ground.

The salt-baked chicken at the Taste Shop is five times more expensive than others, and each sells for two taels of silver. This unicorn seems to be very familiar with the price, which is what it means to ask for ten salt-baked chickens. Sure enough, the shopkeeper picked up the big bag on the ground, gave priority to the ten fattest chickens, wrapped them in oiled paper and stuffed them. (To be continued......)
