Chapter 84: The faint aroma of Shan's stir-fried bullfrog

The Fengzhou City, which was dotted with altars, seemed to be shrouded in fog and filled with thick smoke.

Those are the incense sticks lit by believers for their respective gods.

Li Zhou asked Chu Shen to raise the banner with the words "Healing the World" higher, so that everyone could see it.

To avoid people thinking that she ate at the buffet without paying.

Look, she just wanted to cure diseases and save lives, and eat a few bites of skewers by the way.

For example, on the altar in front of us, this group of people in short skirts finished singing and dancing, and then dragged up a human sacrifice, ready to bleed him.

You can tell at first glance that there's something wrong with his brain.

Let her treat it.

Pure and kind hearts with bright red lips and white teeth floated out from Li Zhou's broad chest and flew to the altar.

The people in short skirts looked up and saw the kindness flying everywhere. The big knives in their hands that were used to cut grooves and bleed human sacrifices suddenly seemed so useless.

Someone's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his throat. Someone screamed and slashed his neck with his backhand, blood spurted out, his body twitched continuously, and he was still muttering the name of the God.

Li Zhou was startled and quickly asked Shanxin to stick out his long tongue to roll up all the swords. With a series of teeth-grinding crunching sounds, all the swords were crushed into powder.

The kebab hurriedly fled out of the city gate. Shanxin opened his mouth and gently took the lamb kebab into his mouth.

The small statue on the altar tilted and slowly cracked.

Li Zhou compared the lamb skewers and the roasted lamb legs. Although the quantity was not that large, the advantage was that they were freshly baked and the lamb was less than a hundred years old, so the meat was extremely tender.

After eating one, Li Zhou's appetite was completely aroused. This kind of skewers is so satisfying that you have to eat a bunch of them in one go.

Fortunately, the aroma of barbecued skewers wafts everywhere on this street, making it truly a food street.

Li Zhou continued walking forward and looked at the roasted goose intestines not far away.

The believers, wearing feathered robes and with their arms spread out like rocs spreading their wings, turned their heads and looked over.

Li Zhou learned his lesson and without waiting for them to react, he reached out and grabbed the statue among them through the air.

The statue stretched its neck forward in its dying struggle, trying to bite Li Zhou. Fortunately, Li Zhou was quick-witted and kind-hearted, and he tore the roasted goose intestines off the statue as soon as he opened his mouth.

Crack, the statue also slowly cracked, following the fate of its predecessor.

The believers wearing feather robes stared at the scene in a daze, not knowing whether it was the backlash of the failed spell or because Li Zhou's method was a bit rough and his mind was too turbulent, so he lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Li Zhou was very satisfied with the taste of the roasted goose intestines.

The roasted goose intestines covered with chili oil are tender and smooth, crispy and chewy, with a particularly rich taste.

It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.

Li Zhou nodded contentedly, and suddenly realized that he had forgotten to wear a bib.

I clearly still remember it when I was in the underworld.

It's easy to get covered in oil when eating barbecue, so you still have to wear it.

Li Zhou quickly took out the bib that Doctor Tan brought with him and put it on.

When Witch Lu, Yin Chan, Gong Daopan and others saw Li Zhou stop, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Doctor Tan just wanted to scare these people and make an example of him.

Seeing that she took out the auspicious cloud shoulder again, everyone's heart sank. Everyone still remembered what happened the last time she wore the cloud shoulder.

It seems that what happened just now was just a trial run, and now is the official action.

In the eyes of the crowd, all they saw were the altars of varying sizes and the believers performing rituals on them, as if street vendors saw the inspectors coming to check the formalities and sanitary conditions.

All the altars were in chaos, with believers of all kinds holding snake staffs, bottles, and bird feathers... no longer caring about performing rituals, and they picked up the statues and fled in all directions.

As a demon hunter, Gong Daopan originally disapproved of the common people using these rain-praying techniques privately.

Unfortunately, the natural disaster has not been resolved yet, and these believers all have ordination certificates.

If one has a certificate of ordination, then he is an officially recognized orthodox believer. Even if murder and arson occur during the ceremony, the demon hunters have no right to interfere.

Gong Daopan thought hesitantly, if she now felt that these seemingly orthodox religions and the evil cult in her heart were not so evil after all, wouldn't that be a bad thing?

She stared at the banner with the words "Healing the World" behind Dr. Tan, listened to the wails and screams of the evil gods, and tried to convince herself that they were the side of justice.

The righteous Li Zhou looked at the small vendors running into the streets and alleys, and thought to himself, "No, believers, just go, but don't take the stalls with you."

The dark patterns on the auspicious cloud shoulders rose into the air according to her wishes, transforming into countless branches of yellow-green mucus, stretching towards every street and alley emitting the aroma of barbecued skewers.

The governor of Fengzhou and the recorder of Fengzhou walked out of the yamen and stared in stunned silence at the evil slime spreading in the city.

They are like a big net, and the people in the city are like bugs stuck in the net. The more they struggle, the tighter they get entangled.

These slimes that exuded a terrifying aura made all the believers' brains feel as if countless small bugs had drilled into them. The empty spaces in their brains were filled, and the fear on the believers' faces was replaced by satisfaction.

People gave up running away, gave up struggling, and turned around to offer up the statue that they had just protected in their arms.

Thank God for his gift, which made their lives complete. How could they have been so ungrateful before?

The true God they have been pursuing is right before their eyes, but they are blind to it. Fortunately, there is still a chance to repent.

I don’t know what these foolish and ignorant little things are shouting about. Don’t they know that being able to become a sacrifice to the true God is the blessing they earned in their previous life?

The little evil gods, who were just about to enjoy the human sacrifice, let out howls of despair at this moment.

The kind-hearted person who flew over grinned, and with his white teeth he bit the spirit on the statue, eating it one by one, enjoying the skewers very much.

The statues fell to the ground one after another, losing their original sacred appearance and revealing their clay and wooden interiors.

People who believed in the true God looked at these idols with disdain. These so-called gods only knew how to eat sacrifices and never did any real work.

In the smoke-filled Fengzhou City, after the incense smoke dissipated, there was an unprecedented thunder.

The believers raised their heads, looked at the dark clouds gradually gathering in the sky, walked out of the streets in joy, and looked in the direction of Li Zhou at the same time.

People knelt on the ground and worshiped the only true God in the world with all their heart and soul.

As soon as the miracle doctor Tan arrived, the sky in Fengzhou became dark!

Great, Fengzhou is saved!

The name of the miracle doctor Tan resounded like a tsunami in Fengzhou City.

The Governor of Fengzhou and the Daolu of Fengzhou both showed expressions of pain. With the blessing of official seals, their ability to resist pollution was much stronger than that of ordinary people. However, in their hearts, they were so eager to join.

Their eyes were filled with envy, and they unconsciously wanted to reach out and touch the yellow-green slime that was passing around them.

The mucus shrank back and walked away slowly.

These two are not tasty.

The Governor of Fengzhou and the Dao-lu of Fengzhou who were left behind trembled physically. The scalding official seal suppressed their fluctuating emotions, but it still could not stop them from feeling deeply lost.

After a moment, the two looked at each other and burst into tears.

"Wow... If I had known this, why would I have gotten up so early and stayed up so late to study..."

"Who said it wasn't... It really seems like the God doesn't like people like us who have achieved fame..."

Li Zhou didn't know that at this moment, two people who had broken down were crying like children.

Even if she knew, she would not care about them. She was really not very interested in those people who studied hard, were very smart, passed all the tests and became Jinshi and entered the Monster Hunting Bureau.

Of course, this is definitely not because she doesn't like educated people.

After eating beef skewers, chicken feet skewers, crispy bone skewers, palm treasures, roasted butter, roasted chicken wings, roasted pork belly, roasted chicken hearts, roasted shrimps... Li Zhou suddenly felt dry in the mouth.

She only eats meat and she got irritated.

Baby Li Zhou touched the big blister that was slowly growing at the corner of his mouth in a daze. Yue Niang was discussing the early childhood education curriculum with Master Le Chen. She caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye and her forehead twitched.

"Turtle Lee, what did you put in your breakfast?"

Li Sheng, who was just about to take Da Lang to take a bath, ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"

He followed Yue Niang's gaze and saw the big blisters on his daughter's mouth. He was also shocked: "How could this happen? Is there something wrong with the pork I bought this morning?"

Dalang said cautiously: "Is it possible that it's because my sister eats too much?"

"No," said Mr. Li, "Eating too much shouldn't cause you to get irritated. I didn't add any chili peppers."

This thing was brought back by merchants from foreign countries. It looked bright red, and he was worried that it might be poisonous.

Li Zhou knew best what he had done. He glanced at Yue Niang guiltily and was thinking about how to slip away.

Yue Niang saw her expression and grabbed her: "So it was Zhou Er who ate secretly. Tell me, what did you eat?"

"What?" Li Zhou turned his head in surprise, "Is there anything to eat? Zhou Er didn't see it."

Yue Niang grabbed her cheek and twisted it gently: "You are a little devil."

Dalang and Master Liaochen both hesitated to speak and did not agree with the word "small".

Mr. Li flipped through the recipes: "Let me take a look at some dishes that can reduce internal heat... bitter melon, chrysanthemum, licorice, lotus seeds..."

Outside Fujiao City, in Ciyu Temple, the half-demon Li Zhou was watching the abbot Yuan Zhen handing him a bowl of clear longan, white fungus and lotus seed soup.

"It is a specialty of my temple. If you don't mind, you may try it."

It turns out that lotus seeds can reduce internal heat. Li Zhou didn't mind that it was vegetarian. He took the bowl of soup and drank it all in one gulp.

She chewed the lotus seeds in the soup. The half-demon vest could still keep a straight face, but the baby's body instantly wrinkled into a small bitter gourd. He turned his head and buried it in Yue Niang's arms: "Don't eat lotus seeds, they are bitter..."

"Have you eaten, Zhu'er?" Yue Niang patted the soft back of baby Li Zhu in surprise. As she patted, she was suddenly touched by her cuteness. No matter how she looked at it, her daughter was just an innocent little baby now.

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "How can lotus seeds be bitter? As long as they are fresh, they are sweet, unless they are old."

Baby Li Zhou was startled and raised her face with snot bubbles all over her face. Fortunately, Yue Niang did not despise her and took out a handkerchief to wipe her nose.

Half-demon Li Zhou swallowed the lotus seeds that were becoming more and more bitter, put down the bowl of soup, and said tactfully: "Isn't it time to get some new ingredients for your temple?"

Yuan Zhen stared at the unchanged face of the half-demon Li Zhou. He didn't reveal his true form, nor did his magic power disappear. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Donor, don't you feel uncomfortable at all?"

This is the sarira that is the result of the life-long practice of three eminent monks from Ciyu Temple, but it has no effect on this fox demon?

Normally, this fox demon should have been subdued by the magical power contained in the relic!

Li Zhou saw that Yuan Zhen was very nervous and comforted him, "It's not that bad. I feel warm in my stomach after eating."

Yuan Zhen: “…”

Yuan Zhen: “…………”

Next to him, Tan Yin, who had vaguely sensed that there was something wrong with the soup, looked at Yuan Zhen, whose face was filled with sadness, and for some reason, felt like laughing.

She quickly took out the wooden fish and knocked it twice.

Yuan Zhen took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and walked to the kitchen: "I will ask the chef what's going on."

The half-demon Li Zhou nodded, thinking that the master of Ciyu Temple was a very nice person. It would be good for her to stay here for a few more days and eat more vegetarian food.

Especially in Fengzhou City, another big meat dish has arrived. If you don’t eat vegetarian food quickly, you will get angry again.

The female doctor Li Zhou looked up and saw a group of storks dragging a chariot with a purple canopy under the dark clouds, which gently landed on the ground. The maid following the chariot was holding a flag with a big "mountain" character inscribed on it.

“Who brings rain here without Shan’s permission?”

A sinister voice came from the car.

No wonder so many gods, big and small, prayed for rain for so long, but not a drop fell.

It turns out that you can pray for rain, but it doesn't make it rain.

Li Zhou didn't hear these words clearly, because her mind was on other things.

A faint aroma of stir-fried bullfrog spread around them as they arrived.
