Chapter 94 A Very New Spell
Even while soaking in water, Jiang Feng exuded an irresistible aura that made one's mouth water.
The Great King of Inspiration, hiding in the water, glanced at Sha Wujing and Bai Suzhen above him, forcibly resisted the urge to bite Jiang Feng immediately, and swam back to his cave with him.
At this moment, the mandarin fish spirit was already impatient and was pacing back and forth in the main hall.
Upon seeing the Great King of Inspiration return with a pale-faced monk, she was slightly taken aback, frowning as she said, "Your Majesty, you've arrested the wrong person! This monk isn't Sha Wujing, he—his flesh smells so good!"
The mandarin fish spirit, smelling the fragrance emanating from Jiang Feng, couldn't help but swallow.
Upon seeing this, the Great King of Inspiration laughed heartily: "Sister Su, don't be impatient. This monk is Sha Wujing's master, the holy monk from the Great Sui Dynasty."
The mandarin fish demon stared intently at Jiang Feng, its eyes gleaming with greedy desire: "Even his master's flesh smells this good, how delicious must Sha Wujing be!"
The Great King of Inspiration agreed, saying, "Yes, let's eat this holy monk first, and then we'll figure out a way to eat Sha Wujing!"
The mandarin fish spirit nodded, and the two of them hugged Jiang Feng and started kissing him.
As it ate, the mandarin fish spirit exclaimed, "This is truly delicious! Even the dragon liver and phoenix marrow eaten by the celestial beings in heaven must be no better than this!"
The Inspiration King said, "I don't know about that, but it tastes much better than the fish food fed by the gods—wait, why is there cinnamon in it?"
The King of Inspiration swallowed a piece of cinnamon, his brow furrowing slightly.
The mandarin fish spirit ate with great relish, saying, "Really? I found Sichuan peppercorns in my food. Oh well, as long as it tastes good—"
The King of Inspiration nodded and continued eating. He then ate bay leaves, star anise, angelica root, and other seasonings, swallowing them all without a second thought.
A moment later, the mandarin fish spirit, having eaten its fill, patted its round belly and looked at King Linggan with surprise: "Your Majesty, why is your face pale?"
The King of Inspiration paused in his eating, looked up, and burst into laughter, saying, "Sister Gui, you still dare to criticize me? Your face has turned blue too!"
The mandarin fish spirit exclaimed and took out a mirror. Sure enough, her face had turned completely blue. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that even her hands and arms had turned blue!
"Oh dear, what's going on?!"
While the mandarin fish spirit was in a panic, the Great King of Inspiration let out a burp and said in a daze, "Mandarin fish sister, how come you have two heads and eight arms? No, how come a foot has grown on your head?"
Are you practicing a very new spell?
The mandarin fish spirit covered its head and said, "Your Majesty, please don't speak. There are so many little people jumping around in front of me, it's so annoying!"
While the two were feeling dizzy and disoriented, Jiang Feng, whose body had been half-eaten, suddenly transformed into a bunch of mushrooms with red umbrellas and white stems.
A flea jumped out of the mushroom pile and transformed into Jiang Feng's original appearance, still holding a sharp vajra in its hand.
"King of Inspiration, I am your Scaled One!"
After saying that, he grabbed Linggan Dawang and revealed the location of the heart-protecting scale that had been hit when Sha Wujing ambushed him earlier.
After losing its protective scales, all that remains is a bare piece of fish skin, with no protection whatsoever.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Feng's eyes. He raised the Vajra Pestle and thrust it in there!
The King of Inspiration felt as if his heart had been pierced. A sharp pain struck, and his body stiffened, leaving him unable to move.
As the blood was drained, the deceased King of Inspiration instantly reverted to his true form, transforming into a giant carp.
Jiang Feng then put down the Vajra Pestle and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The puppet that was eaten by the King of Inspiration was made by him using poisonous mushrooms and hallucinogenic herbs he had collected over the years. Even if a monster ate it, it would be confused for a short while.
Combined with the illusion he cast, the two caused the King of Inspiration to fall into a hallucination.
As for the spices like Sichuan peppercorns and star anise put in the fish, who doesn't marinate the fish before eating it?
Jiang Feng picked up the large carp in front of him, carefully examined its plumpness and leanness, then nodded in satisfaction and took out a sharp knife from his treasure pouch.
If Sha Wujing were here, he would immediately recognize that this was the same sharp knife that Jiang Feng used to execute the "Three Cuts and Six Holes" family punishment, the one that could break through his protective aura.
Jiang Feng obtained this sharp knife by chance while collecting magical treasures and talismans in Daxing City. It is said to have been forged by the ancient human emperor and was specially used to teach people how to slaughter livestock. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily break through the armor of monsters.
Jiang Feng picked up the sharp knife and sharpened it twice on the edge of the stone table. Then, he skillfully gutted the carp and peeled off its scales.
The fluidity of the movements and the harmony of the visuals are almost divine.
Even a seasoned fishmonger with ten years of experience would have to exclaim upon seeing this: "A saint has emerged in the world of fish-killing!"
In the blink of an eye, a carp stuffed with various seasonings and marinated in advance was cleaned by Jiang Feng and placed on the stone table. A series of chuckles rang out. Jiang Feng looked down and saw that the mandarin fish spirit was being affected by the poisonous mushrooms and illusions, crawling around on the ground.
Jiang Feng reached out and lifted the mandarin fish spirit from the ground, killing it with a single stroke. He then cleaned up the mandarin fish that had transformed back into its original form and made it into a steamed mandarin fish dish.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Suzhen and Sha Wujing finally arrived late and found the cave of the Great King Linggan.
Upon entering the main hall, they saw Jiang Feng sitting at the stone table, enjoying a hearty meal of braised carp and steamed mandarin fish. The two were initially tempted by the delicious aroma of the food, swallowing hard, before their faces showed expressions of deep confusion.
Sha Wujing was the first to react, stepping forward to ask, "Master, where is the Great King Linggan? Why are you eating?"
Upon noticing their arrival, Jiang Feng glanced down at the remaining fish bones and scraps of broth on the plate and said with a look of pity, "King Linggan saw that I was starving and took the initiative to emulate the Buddha's act of sacrificing himself to feed a tiger, giving me all of his fish flesh."
"ah???"
Bai Suzhen's pupils contracted, and she gasped in surprise before covering her mouth: "You ate the Great King Linggan?!"
Jiang Feng said with great dissatisfaction, "What do you mean I ate the Great King of Inspiration? It was clearly the Great King of Inspiration who wanted to imitate the high monks' act of burning his fingers to worship Buddha and sacrifice his own body to my stomach!"
This is an immense act of merit! Do you even understand what merit is?!
Bai Suzhen: "————"
I don't really seem to want to understand, otherwise I'm afraid I'll end up eating your food myself someday!
Just as Bai Suzhen was filled with fear, a beam of light suddenly appeared.
As the light faded, Mu Zha appeared before everyone with a smile, carrying a bamboo basket, and bowed to Jiang Feng in a Buddhist gesture.
"Master, the South China Sea flooded a few days ago, and the carp raised in Guanyin Bodhisattva's pond were washed away. Now—how did it end up on your plate?!"
