Chapter 136 You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die
"Today I will show you what the number one swordsman of China is!"
With a flash of cold light, the knife moved swiftly, and the marbled cured pork, with its clear texture, was instantly sliced into pieces the size of soybeans, which were then scattered one after another onto the white plate on the table, lined up neatly.
With a sizzle, lard and cured pork belly sizzled in the large iron pot, enacting a tearful tale of two people of the same blood fighting each other.
As the saying goes, saliva from cravings is still water, and tears from delicious flavors are still tears.
The prepared bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and pine nuts were sprinkled onto the golden-brown fried cured pork, and together they underwent a tumultuous process of fusion.
With another "sizzle," the half-cooked white rice porridge was poured into the pot. Once the porridge boiled, the radish slices that had been cut earlier were added in.
When the aroma reached Fei Xi, a group of men couldn't contain themselves any longer and took a big gulp from their large bowls.
While their tongues were scalding hot, they also tasted the deliciousness of the meat porridge. Even though they were scalding and hissing, they couldn't bear to spit out a single drop.
"Hiss, now this is what it means to do justice to the seven deities on every grain of rice. Is what you've cooked even soup? Calling it swill would be an insult to pigs! Do you accept this? Do you accept this?!"
The man, whose face turned red from being relentlessly questioned by the old man, was filled with resentment, but he was so captivated by the delicious food that he could only nod in agreement.
"Hahahaha! I used this trick to marry my wife back in the day. Conquering you bunch of rough men is as easy as spilling water."
The smug old man, with a smug look on his face and an arrogant expression, was quickly surrounded by a group of men who had not yet found wives.
After swallowing the savory and delicious hot porridge, everyone seemed to forget their pain and enthusiastically told the old man their stories of pursuing their wives.
As long as you're alive, you should always look forward.
No matter what hardships we experienced yesterday, a new day has begun, filled with beautiful hopes for the future, and the dawn is already breaking.
Watching the old man gesticulate wildly and act all cocky amidst everyone's flattery.
Clutching the handkerchief in her arms, Fei Xi really wanted to imitate the old man and smear it all over his face.
Thinking that the other party is unfathomable, or a long-time high-ranking official, is clearly a misconception!
The golden-brown cured pork bits make a "crunch" sound when you bite into them, and underneath the crispy pork cracklings are tender and juicy lean meat.
After eating a few pieces and then taking a sip of delicious porridge, the different flavors do not clash but rather bloom like a hundred flowers, with the freshness and caramel aroma complementing each other.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Fei Xi felt refreshed and glanced at the smelly old man surrounded by the crowd.
Before resting, Fei Xi found an excuse to summon Shen Tianyou to the central courtyard of the temple.
……
"Young lady, is there anything I can do to help you with, Brother Shen?"
Although exhausted from a busy night, Shen Tianbao was invigorated. Seeing that his brothers' injuries were under control, he marveled at the woman's superb medical skills and felt deeply grateful to her.
"Brother Shen, you must be wondering why the old man suddenly made things difficult for me earlier."
"Actually, what the old man said is true. There is one thing I did lie to everyone about."
Shen Tianbao was taken aback at first, then revealed a relieved and relaxed expression. He had been traveling around escorting goods for many years and had naturally seen all kinds of people.
At the time, the reason for the conflict between Fei Xiaoyou and the old man was unclear, and the woman in front of him was also someone he was meeting for the first time.
However, the other party had clear and upright eyes, and at a young age, he was able to win the unanimous praise of a group of martial arts masters such as Baoyi Zhenjun, Hongfa Zen Master, and Xuanzhen Master.
Having heard about his actions after entering the martial arts world, although they showed some youthful arrogance, Shen Tianbao had always admired those who spoke with strength, not to mention that what Fei Xiaoyou did was all righteous.
Most importantly, the trust and affection in Fei Xiaoyou's eyes when he mentioned his wife suddenly softened Shen Tianbao's heart.
How could someone who likes Wan Niang be a bad person?
Recalling how Fei Xiaoyou deliberately acted silly when the old man scolded him, with such a childlike nature, how could he be a scheming person?
With a clear conscience, Shen Tianbao smiled and was about to offer some words of comfort.
But Fei Xi's expression was solemn, and her eyes were cold, as if she knew that what was about to be said would not be easy.
A sudden inspiration struck Shen Tianbao, and his smile vanished.
"Girl, I believe you. Is what you're talking about related to that female demon?"
"Exactly! Qiu Shuying is most skilled at inflicting psychological torture on others. Yesterday, as soon as I entered the temple, I found that you heroes were still in a state of fear and unease."
“Anger injures the liver, grief injures the lungs, anger injures the heart, worry injures the spleen, and fear injures the kidneys. People who have endured hellish torment need more than just medical treatment for their injuries.”
"If they cannot get rid of the shadow that Qiu Shuying has cast on them, even if Fei Xi's medical skills are superb, it will be difficult to save a person who has lost the will to live."
"Therefore, Fei Xi lied. The old man did indeed severely injure Qiu Shuying with a single palm strike, causing her to vomit blood and collapse to the ground. However, at that time, a natural disaster struck and the earth dragon overturned, so no one knew whether Qiu Shuying was alive or dead."
"The girl isn't exactly lying; perhaps the other person is already dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Tianbao pondered for a moment. Fei Xiaoyou had summoned him specifically not just to tell him that the female demon might not be dead.
"Is the young lady worried that if the female demon were still alive, she might not let us go?"
Talking to smart people is so easy, Fei Xi nodded.
"Fei Xi had heard about the natural disaster in Lin Hai Valley before, but her knowledge was limited. The heroes in the temple need to recuperate here for a while. Once the earth dragon subsides, we will definitely need to leave the temple to find supplies."
"At that time, I would like to ask Brother Shen to send a few people to accompany Fei Xi to search for her. Regardless of whether Qiu Shuying is alive or dead, we must find her or her body."
"If they are nowhere to be found, either alive or dead, then we must be extra vigilant in the temple."
Seeing that the man opposite her had gotten to the point, Fei Xi was about to nod.
Suddenly, the entire temple began to shake violently, and a terrified scream echoed from the main hall to the courtyard.
"Elder! Please, please don't touch the statue anymore!"
