Chapter 119: Key, White Elephant, and God of Cooking
"Brother, the rabbit flew away."
Facing the old monkey with a puzzled look on his face, the old goat still spoke very seriously.
"I suspect that Rabbit is no longer the Rabbit we know. Something unexpected must have happened to her. Also, a demon seems to have attacked his family."
"!"
The old monkey stood up and asked eagerly, "Are you saying that those outsiders are plotting against our Qingyuan Secret Realm?"
“About that.”
The old goat hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
"Yes, very good!"
The old monkey blew his fist on the chair: "I knew it. Why would those tribes that we haven't seen for many years come here at this time? It's really their plan!"
"Brother, what should we do?"
"Where's the third brother?"
"The third brother? Didn't he go with you before?" the old goat replied.
Seeing the old monkey's silence, the old goat's expression suddenly changed.
"Brother, could it be..."
The former shook his head. His mind was in a mess. If it was really the White Elephant who betrayed the Qingyuan Secret Realm, then it would definitely be met with hostility from the entire secret realm. Even if they did not take action, other monsters would definitely take action.
The Rabbit in your destiny is an example.
"Forget it, they are already here, this matter is inevitable. From now on, we must keep an eye on them at all times and not give them any chances to take advantage of us!"
"Well, I understand. I will find some reasons to approach them and find out their purpose." said the old goat.
"Be careful and don't rush."
After the old goat left, a figure walked out of the darkness. He had two dragon horns on his head, was pitch black, and had hard skin.
"Am I right?"
"Who are you and why do you know so much?"
The old monkey frowned and looked at the dragon man in front of him vigilantly.
"hehe,"
Han Liu sat down on a chair next to the old monkey, drank a sip of water, and said calmly: "The old goat has already defected to the foreign tribe and betrayed the Qingyuan Secret Realm. The old white elephant is the same. Moreover, they defected to different forces."
"Now, among the entire secret realm's top leaders, only a small number are still holding on. Although they have not shown any intention of betrayal, their attitude towards the secret realm has long been much worse over the years. I believe you have already noticed it, right?"
"So why don't you choose a faction right away?"
As soon as the words fell, a cold chill suddenly burst out from the old monkey: "What do you mean?"
The cold current waved its hand and dispelled the chill:
"I don't mean anything. I just want to ask you if you are willing to be my little brother. I will help you deal with those guys, and you can also promise not to let your Qingyuan Secret Realm be swallowed up and divided by them.
But the prerequisite is that you become my younger brother. ”
The old monkey's chest was shaking, but surprisingly he did not refute.
After a long time, it let out a long sigh.
At this moment, he seemed to be very tired. He sat back in his chair, looked into the distance, and murmured, "Being your little brother, what's the difference between them? In the end, what's mine is yours. If you want the secret realm, isn't it just a matter of a word?"
Hanliu looked at the old monkey. Although he had quietly broken through to the late stage of the Refining Void Realm, his old injuries had not healed and he had left behind a root of illness. He was now suffering from physical torture all the time.
It's very painful and tormenting.
"The decision is up to you, but I'm different from them. I have no interest in what you have here. After all, I'm a dragon man. What do you have here?"
Hanliu's eyes narrowed and he smiled.
"Don't tell me, it really exists, hehe."
"What do you want to do?" The old monkey's face changed and he wanted to stand up, but no matter how he struggled, his body seemed to be stuck to the chair and he couldn't move.
Hanliu walked up to the old monkey, looked at his fierce eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand.
Snap!
The dragon claw instantly pierced into the old monkey's heart, and blood splattered everywhere.
After searching for a while with his five fingers, a smile appeared on Han Liu's face: "Found it."
Swish!
The dragon claw stretched out, holding a key between the middle and index fingers.
"Surely this is the key to the tower door?"
Looking at the old monkey whose chest was bleeding and whose mouth was unable to make any sound, Han Liu took out a pill and threw it into his mouth:
"Rest well, and don't die. The curse power attached to this key has tortured you for so long. Now I have taken it out. You must thank me in the future!"
After saying that, Hanliu drew several circles on the wound with his fingers.
The colorful light shone on his chest, and the terrible wound healed instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A head banged on the old monkey's forehead, making him fall asleep instantly.
When the cold wave appeared again, there was a gathering of white elephants in front of him.
"Third brother, why hasn't the guy you mentioned come yet?"
"That's right. We've been waiting here for such a long time. He's really arrogant!"
The other monsters also started to spit out bad words, dissatisfied with the guy who had not arrived yet.
Little did they know that a cold wave was watching them from behind.
"Everyone, just wait a little longer. I think he will show up soon. Maybe something unexpected happened on his way here."
As the third of the three masters of Qingyuan Secret Realm, Bai Xiang was also very dissatisfied at this time.
It was you who invited us, but you were late!
Just thinking about it makes me angry!
Looking at the third brother who had an unhappy look on his face but had to constantly keep many white elephants stable, a trace of disdain flashed across Han Liu's lips.
"Hey, good brother, you are finally here!"
Finally, when all the monsters expressed their intention to leave, Han Liu's figure emerged from the darkness, holding a stack of wooden talismans in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the third brother's heart skipped a beat.
"It seems that everyone is very dissatisfied with me?"
Han Liu sneered and threw all the wooden talismans in his hand on the table: "I advise you to finish reading the things in your hands first. If anyone wants to leave after reading the keys, I will definitely not stop him!"
Hearing this, the third brother also hurriedly advised: "Yes, yes, brothers, let's talk it over. It's not too late to finish looking at what he brought first!"
The monsters looked at each other, then picked up the wooden talismans on the table one by one. After finding their own, they all took a quick look at them.
But the more he looked, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but look at Han Liu a few more times.
A polar bear with a bad temper crushed the wooden talisman in his hand, but still seemed uneasy after crushing it, so he released a ball of fire, reducing the debris to ashes.
The monsters looked at each other, and finally all looked at Hanliu and Lao San. No one mentioned leaving.
"Now you can all be obedient!"
A calm voice rang in the ears of the monsters. Han Liu cleared his throat and looked at the white bears with disdain:
"I know that you have more or less colluded with the forces outside the secret realm. I have investigated this very clearly, and the wooden talisman has already told you!
But I, a demon, have always respected the teachings of my ancestors. Since my ancestors made three rules that no one in the secret realm can plot against each other, then I must obey them. Naturally, I will not allow any demon beast group to get in!
If there are monsters that, for a tiny bit of benefit, voluntarily throw themselves into the arms of foreigners, I'd have no choice but to ask those people to get out! ”
"Humph! So you want to drive us out?"
A white bear questioned disdainfully.
"Let's not talk about whether these wooden talismans of yours are real or fake. Just because you are a dragon man, you have no connection with our Qingyuan Secret Realm. For this reason, we have the right to expel you!
Now you are still here talking so brazenly, will you ask us to leave? It's so funny that it's killing me. Don't you think you're ridiculous? ! ”
Hanliu was silent for a moment and nodded.
"What you said makes sense, but what does that have to do with me?"
Hearing his words, the white bear, who had just smiled, suddenly froze, and then stared at the former with a gloomy face: "It seems that you are determined to interfere in our affairs! In this case, you can't stay!"
"I don't like dealing with fools,"
Looking at the several white figures around him who seemed to want to take action, Han Liu stopped talking nonsense and directly slapped out with his palm.
Bang!
Explosions sounded one after another, and in an instant, several white bears that had already stood up and the figures that wanted to stand up all exploded.
The white bear in the state of transformation of spirits, the ceiling of the land of the hundred nations, simply evaporated from the face of the earth in just a moment.
"Who else?"
"How dare you"
“Bang!”
Another blood mist appeared in the air and was blown away by the wind.
"Who else?"
This time, no monster answered him. Even the third one was hiding aside and trembling.
God knows why I was so stupid as to attack him when I first met him?
Then, with just a glance from him, it shattered into a bloody mist, and then condensed into its original form. Just as it came to its senses, it was shattered again, and then condensed again, repeating this process dozens of times.
He was tortured to death.
"Now it's good! We are all smart monsters, no one should be stupid enough to ask for death on their own, right?" As he said this, he glanced at a trembling leader.
Feeling the former's gaze, the third brother stiffened and almost lost control of his bladder.
"Since I can find your traces, I naturally have a way to know all your secrets. Now I ask you, if I were to be the prosecutor and supervise you, would anyone disobey me?"
Wu Yao answered.
"Is there?!" Hanliu shouted loudly.
The group of polar bears below nodded one after another, fearing that the former would be unhappy and take advantage of them.
"That's right! Then, let's sign the contract!"
As he spoke, a stack of papers appeared in Hanliu's hand, and with a wave of his hand, he scattered all the contracts in front of all the polar bears.
The latter looked at each other, each with a look of struggle.
"I, I'm fine."
The third brother said with a trembling voice.
"Well, put it here." Han Liu didn't even look at it and let him put it on the table in front of him.
Following the example set by the third brother, the remaining polar bears no longer hesitated and signed the contract one after another.
Even though this is a very unequal treaty.
"Well, let's all disperse. Go back and attack the enemy's strength in reverse. Then deliver the news to the third brother on time!"
"After you summarize it, give it to me on time, understand?"
"clear!!"
Hearing the monsters shouting at the same time, Hanliu nodded, picked up the contract and disappeared on the spot.
As soon as the former left, the latter instantly collapsed to the ground, holding their heads and crying.
At this moment, even though they had joined different forces, even though there were huge conflicts between them, they could still cry together.
“How does it feel to die?”
Looking at the distracted white bears in front of him, Hanliu's face was stiff, and he asked coldly: "If you haven't thought it through, I can help you think about it a few more times."
"No, no, no, sir, I've thought it through! We've thought it through!"
Hearing the latter's question, the polar bears all held back their tears and quickly answered.
"You all saw what happened just now. This is the contract. Sign it now!"
Watching the white bears sign the contract, Han Liu said calmly: "You guys stay in the dark from now on. Without my permission, you can't show up in front of the white bears. I will help you change your appearance, infiltrate the enemy, and investigate information."
"I will give you four days to find a way to die in a reasonable way."
"This is a life-stunning pill. It can make the strand of energy you left in the other person's hand disappear. But it must be used when you are sure that you are safe. Understand?"
"clear!"
After doing all this, the cold wave sent them to different locations.
Since he is going to perform a big drama next, he must make sufficient preparations in advance.
"Oh my, this is so annoying. Hasn't he already taught me a lot of knowledge about cooking? Why is the food he makes still so unpalatable?!"
Lin Jie stayed in the room, she was about to burst.
She thought that with the knowledge, cooking would be a piece of cake, but she didn't expect that the same food, which sounded so delicious in her mind, would actually have no appetite when she cooked it.
"How could this happen? Ahhhhh this is so difficult!"
Lin Jie was so angry that she was about to cry.
"Little girl, can you be quiet for a while? I was sleeping soundly, but you woke me up!"
"Who?!" The former was startled and subconsciously drew out the Dragon-Slaying Sword.
"I am this house, old man. What's the matter? Do you want to chop me down?!" An angry voice sounded, and then an old man with a goat-horn beard appeared in front of Lin Jie.
"Weapon spirit?"
The latter was stunned.
"Spirit of an artifact? Not really. I am just the remnant spirit of the former God of Cooking. I am attached to this house. I just smelled an indescribable aura and woke up."
Seeing the old man looking around the room, Lin Jie awkwardly stood aside and quietly put away the food she had just made.
She couldn't say that it was the smell of the food she had just made, right?
"Huh? Little girl, are you... cooking?" The old man blinked as he looked at the ingredients on the chopping board that had not been discarded.
"Ah... yes, yes..."
Lin Jie touched the back of her head and said with difficulty:
"I'm just learning how to cook. I'll probably be the one cooking for a long time in the future, so I thought I'd take some time out to learn..."
The old man looked at the former and quickly shook his head: "Little girl, you are not honest. Although I am only a remnant soul, I still have the ability to judge people!"
Lin Jie's heart tightened.
"You were obviously forced!"
The old man stomped on the ground hard and said angrily:
"Little girl, if you have any grievances, you can tell me everything. Although I don't have much strength, I can find someone to help me! As long as you tell me, I will definitely help you!"
Lin Jie's mouth twitched, and she lowered her head and shook it: "Don't worry, senior, I really wasn't forced, this is all my own will!"
The old man had an expression of “I don’t believe it”.
The former sighed and persuaded: "Senior, I really am not forced to do this, I really want to learn how to cook! And you are so powerful and you are in this house. If something really happens, how can you not know?"
The old man coughed twice and said in a masterly manner: "You are right. If something really happened, how could I not know about it?"
"So, senior, you just said that you are a cooking god, right? Then can you teach me how to cook?" Lin Jie asked with anticipation, a flattering look on her face.
"Unfortunately, not right now."
Lin Jie was stunned: "Then...when can you do it?"
"Maybe in the next life..."
The old man had a desolate expression on his face, which made Lin Jie puzzled. Curious, she couldn't help but ask, "Then, can you help me taste it?"
"That's fine..." The old man nodded and sat down at the dining table in a proper manner.
Lin Jie looked at the unprocessed ingredients on the chopping board, remembered the food she had just put away, gritted her teeth, took it out and brought it to the dining table.
"Senior, this is what I just did. I hope..."
Looking at the old man with dull eyes, Lin Jie looked embarrassed: I knew it, how could he eat such a black thing? !
"Senior, I..."
"I agree!"
"What?" Lin Jie was stunned.
“I said, I agree to teach you how to cook, but you have to promise me that you can only recognize me as your master in this life!” The old man picked up the plate with trembling hands, as if he was examining a priceless treasure.
"You really did this?"
"Yes..." Lin Jie replied embarrassedly.
At the same time, I was secretly delighted. I didn't expect that the other party was really willing to accept me as a disciple. Now my cooking skills will definitely improve rapidly!
"Senior, I do!"
"Okay! From today on, you will be my registered disciple. When the time is right and we have completed the apprenticeship ceremony, you will be my direct disciple!"
"Yes, Lin Jie understands. Thank you, Master!"
The old man nodded and handed over the plate in his hand: "Pour it out."
"What?"
Lin Jie stretched out her hand and suddenly froze.
"I say, pour it out!" the old man looked at her and repeated.
Lin Jie quickly took it and hesitated for a moment: "Master, why don't you tell me about the problem with this food first?"
The old man floated into the kitchen, and with a wave of his hand, time seemed to flow backwards, and the plates, knives and chopsticks returned to the way they were before Lin Jie started.
"Didn't you already know the value of this food when you put it away before?" the old man replied as he packed up his things.
"Since we have to start from scratch, we must adopt the correct attitude and posture. We must throw away everything that should be thrown away and leave nothing behind. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
