Turn a beast into a god

Chapter 318

Zhan Lu cut the meat of the Diya yak into strips. The sharp blade was transformed from Zhan Lu's fingers. He deliberately turned his head to the side so as not to let the saliva splash on the meat strips. It can be seen that Zhan Lu is still very particular about cooking.

Each strip of meat was cut very evenly, as long as the forearm and as thick as two fingers.The thickness is moderate, fat and thin, and the meat strips are inserted into the prepared branches, smeared with golden honey, and then coated with a layer of tan dipping sauce. The sauce is translucent and looks very sticky.

Wang Chengliang was already hungry. He listened to Zhan Lu's non-stop talking, and at the same time watched Zhan Lu spread the sauce on both sides of the meat strips. Just looking at the sauce, he felt that the taste was very good. Where did I learn these cooking skills, they are already delicious before they are made.

I saw Zhan Lu turning his wrist skillfully, the movement was light and not complicated, and the uniformly smeared strip of meat was repeatedly swept in the outer flame on the firewood, and after a dozen strokes, he took the strip back, and it was grilled with oil. Extremely exaggerated heat exuded from the beef strips, drifting towards the Huanshan Pass.

"Eat it while it's hot. We'll be our own people in the future. If you want to eat, I'll make it for you." Zhan Lu raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wang Chengliang with some playfulness. The edge of Wang Chengliang's mouth raised his jaw, signaling him to open his mouth.

"Who is with you... woo... woo... woo... Are you on your own?" Wang Chengliang wanted to refute, but halfway through his words, Zhan Lu handed over a piece of meat against his teeth. In this cold mountain cave The meat strips cooled down quickly, and the teeth were warm when touched, not hot at all.

The taste of the sauce is not strong, on the contrary, it is very light, and there is no salty taste.The meat strips dipped in honey are extremely smooth and tender. The originally firm beef becomes full of elasticity when dipped in honey. The meat strips do not feel greasy when chewed by the teeth, but have a soft and glutinous taste, and the taste is also good. Compared with the bowl just now The beef soup is as good as it gets.

"Then you have to think clearly. Knowing that there are so many secrets in the Hall of Souls, it is impossible for you to leave here alive. Either accept the life and death curse of the Hall Master, or I will make you a stuffed ghost and send you a ride."

Wang Chengliang sighed secretly, savoring the unique taste of barbecue sticks, and chewing over and over again the things that Zhan Lu just said in a long-winded manner.

It turns out that the current owner of the Hall of Souls is Lin Yihuan. His mother, Yu Xiao, passed away due to illness and poured her spiritual power into Lin Yihuan's body, opening up all the acupoints and spiritual veins in her body, and teaching him the most basic principles of the Hall of Souls. The tricks of various exercises, and then drew the life and death curses of the disciples in the palace one by one into an atlas. When he was dying, Yu Xiao asked Lin Yihuan to memorize them by force. The soul-destroying bell, the most precious treasure in the Hall of Encoffined Souls, is owned by the masters of the past dynasties.

I heard that this soul-destroying bell is one of the three treasures of the hall master, it is not a man-made spiritual weapon, it is an ordinary iron tool, but it is complemented by the secret code of the Hall of Souls "Soul-destroying Dafa" and "Heart-Cracking Bone Dafa", It is formed by the condensed souls of the previous hall masters and elders after death. The children in the ordinary hall have never seen this thing at all, and those who are not deep in cultivation and spiritual power cannot use these treasures at all.

According to what Zhan Lu said, there should have been four treasures in the Hall of Souls. Among them, the Soul-hunting Cauldron was accidentally lost hundreds of years ago and could not be found after decades of searching. No matter how powerful they are, they can become the elders of the Hall of Souls, enjoy the highest glory, and have the power to control the Soul-destroying Cauldron. Has been wandering outside, the strength of the previous hall masters can not match the founding ancestor He Yu, no one can follow the example of the ancestor to remake the soul-hunting tripod, so this matter was exposed.

This Lin Yihuan is the seventh Lord of the Hall of Souls. Anyone who joins the Hall of Souls must be bestowed with the Life and Death Curse by Lin Yihuan. The Lord erased the imprint of the life and death curse in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, and the disciple corresponding to the life and death curse would die of insanity, which is almost irreversible.

Life is a person in the Hall of Souls, and death is also a ghost in the Hall of Souls. The reason why there are still so many people willing to serve in the Hall of Souls is because the skills are outstanding, and the improvement of spiritual power is obvious.The Life and Death Mantra is not only a talisman, but also a catalyst to improve the quality of spiritual power. When the Sea of ​​Consciousness has not yet formed, the Mantra of Life and Death will try its best to develop the depth and breadth of the space of the Sea of ​​Consciousness. Power, so that the spirit warrior who has been planted with the life and death curse can strengthen his spiritual power faster than other spirit warriors.

According to what Zhan Lu said, this life and death curse is not a dead thing, but an unconscious carrier formed by the condensation of countless souls before they dissipate. It is made into a life and death curse and planted in the body of the spirit warrior, which is equivalent to forcibly integrating an unconscious soul carrier into the spirit warrior. It's just a plug-in.

Of course, what made Wang Chengliang terrified was that the current hall master, Lin Yihuan, was only eight years old...

Since he practiced, he has enjoyed countless glory and wealth, fought in the battlefield for more than ten years, and got used to the life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. In fact, Wang Chengliang didn't want to die early.I am willing to come to this bitter cold place because I think the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is also a kind of joy to be a local emperor in another world.

Unfortunately, things backfired, no matter how loudly the abacus was played, there was no real slap in the face. The young general galloping on the battlefield is now nailed to death by this so-called soul-piercing crucification, and his spiritual power is running extremely slowly, less than one-thousandth of normal. As long as the tentacles of mental power are tested outward, it will be as painful as a thousand hammers, and the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness will be as painful as thousands of needles.

"Do I have a choice..." Wang Chengliang shook his head bitterly, but he didn't dare to make too much noise and pull the sore.

"Since you have no choice, why don't you join us? Apart from swearing your allegiance to the Lord's order, you can arrange other things as you like. You continue to be your brigade commander, which does not prevent you from being the emperor of the Northern Territory. .”

At this moment, Zhan Lu's attention is all on the barbecue. The reason why the barbecue sticks are delicious is because the fire is just right. This requires not only experience and habit, but also the use of mental tentacles to perceive the toughness of the barbecue. I have to say that Zhan Lu is very good at Cooking is done with great care. Just when the fat was about to drip, Zhan Lu flipped the barbecue on the outer flame and burned it again. The mellow and rich gravy was locked in the meat, which was double delicious.

It took more than half an hour for a Diya yak to be completely turned into ingredients, and the two of them wiped out all the barbecue sticks. As for the pot of beef soup that was still hot on the oven rack, it was obvious that both of them had With a full stomach, Wang Chengliang was still chewing the meat strips repeatedly, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was muttering to himself. Zhan Lu couldn't hear the subtle voice, and only thought it was the subtle sound made by Wang Chengliang chewing the meat strips.

"Let's go here today. You must not have figured it out for a while. I will bring another dreamy snow deer in a few days and cook you another meal. But the hall master only asked me to cook you three meals. , I guess it’s the deadline, you’d better think about it carefully, and tell me when you think it through.”

Seeing Zhan Lu tidying up the kitchen utensils, as if he was going to leave, all the beef in the pot of beef soup was fished out and put in a wooden bowl, obviously he didn't intend to stay here any longer.

"Can you tell me why the Hall of Souls wants me to join? Do you want me to be a puppet to be manipulated by your Hall Master? What is the purpose of your Hall of Souls planning this?" Unspeakable emotions filled the room instantly. In Wang Chengliang's chest, thousands of thoughts are like a huge stone pressing on his heart. For some reason, Wang Chengliang feels that if he doesn't ask now, it will be difficult to ask clearly in the future.

"Because it's fun." Zhan Lu stopped what he was doing, looked up at Wang Chengliang who was pierced through the joints of his limbs by the soul piercing nail, and said solemnly.

"Fun?" Wang Chengliang was stunned, he never expected such an answer.

"That's right, the hall master is only eight years old now, and it's the time when he is curious about everything. Hearing that you are a general, he wants to absorb you into the Hall of Souls. It's as simple as that."

"..." In Wang Chengliang's heart, there were countless muddy horses galloping past. Mad, he had imagined countless reasons why he was caught here, but he never thought that it was to satisfy a child's curiosity?
"At present, the master's mind is immature. The four maids took good care of your mother's death. The one who trapped you here is the eldest maid, not me. There is a wrong and a debtor. If you want to pursue it, go to the eldest maid. Trouble, but with your current strength, you can last less than three rounds in the hands of the big maid."

"What is the cultivation of the big maid?"

"The four maids are all cultivated in the Holy Spirit Realm. The eldest maid is also a spirit formation master. The whole set of scattered spirit formations was prepared by the eldest maid for you."

"Hiss..." Wang Chengliang couldn't help taking a breath, and the original resentment dissipated immediately. It was a joke, did he think his life was not long enough to compete with the four strong men of the Holy Spirit Realm?
Is this Hall of Souls really so powerful?How can she have such a high level of cultivation just by being a maid?
"As for the purpose of the Hall of Souls, it was originally to sit in the north and suppress the Lord of Fire. The founding father, He Yu, captured three crystal dragons and planted 81 restrictions, so that the crystal dragons would suppress the sleeping Lord of Fire in the north for generations. Now Disasters are rampant, wars are endless, and human desires are endless. In order to prevent the war from spreading to the north, it is necessary to ensure that the north will not be affected by the war. If the Lord of Fire wakes up, there is no strong person in the world today to contend with him. The Jialuo Empire All will be turned into scorched earth, let alone other territories."

"The Lord of Fire? What is the Lord of Fire?" Wang Chengliang was taken aback by the words, and could no longer understand what Zhan Lu said.

"I don't know what the Fire Lord is. I was an orphan since I was a child. After I joined the Hall of Souls by accident, I slowly learned of the existence of the Fire Lord. Although I don't know exactly what the Fire Lord is, we all know The three-headed crystal dragon was captured by He Yu from other places. The ice crystal snow monsters in this world are all spirit beasts that survived the dragon's breath. After a long period of time, they changed their physique and adapted to the climate and environment to assist the crystal dragon. Suppress the fire lord."

Wang Chengliang digested Zhan Lu's words. These words were never mentioned by Zhan Lu before, and he realized them after repeated deliberation.

"Are you an orphan?"

"Yes, my parents left me as far back as I can remember. My father was forcibly conscripted to resist the invasion of the Aolai Empire. My mother became seriously ill due to longing and heartbreak. She never survived the winter and left me forever. Later, she was embalmed. The hall accommodated and planted the life-death curse, and took this opportunity to awaken the spiritual veins and create a spiritual knot, serving the master of the soul-hunting hall."

"Your experience is also very tortuous..."

"Let's put it this way, you fought and fought for the territory of the empire, and once you are done, the imperial court will only remember your feats, and those soldiers who died are just pensions. The imperial court is rotten, and the emperor is incompetent. You What I serve is a crumbling dry old tree, and my position changes according to the will of the imperial court. And I fight for the common people in the northern border. Keeping this land will benefit thousands of living beings. It is not noble or despicable, but yours The merits and virtues will be engraved on the monument, and my achievements are only clear in my heart."

"Aren't I making sacrifices for the common people? Do you think I'm willing to go into battle with blood on my hands?" As if talking about pain, Wang Chengliang's reaction became more intense, and faces appeared in his mind, which is a pity But they were all killed in battle, and all kinds of things in life were engraved in Wang Chengliang's mind, and they couldn't get rid of them.

"Your greatness is remembered by the world, but isn't everything you work hard to make the world admire you?"

Zhan Lu's rhetorical question made Wang Chengliang feel embarrassed, his voice was trembling and a little choked, he wanted to say something to refute, but he couldn't come up with a word in his mouth, the eyes of those old robes were vivid in his mind, waved I can't stop, the tears can't stop rolling down, and the regret is filled in my heart. I can survive until now because countless comrades in arms sacrificed their lives to perfect me. I was blinded by the name of the major general. I was innocent and kind. Gradually lost in the power disputes of the imperial court, he learned various means of controlling power.

I didn't expect to be in the hinterland of Xuegong Mountain, recalling all the past experiences, watching Zhan Lu fly out of the mountain pass with wings on his back, the snow was blowing even more fiercely, and the surroundings fell into silence again.Looking down at the pieces of boiled meat in the wooden bowl gradually becoming cold, I couldn't let go of it for a long time.

The vast frost and snow in the northern border never stops, and there are too many life and death buried under the thick snow, no one cares about them, let alone know their past.

If he sinks in this way, his own flesh and blood will also be stained white, and his past pursuits will be like a dream.

The day of reunion with loved ones will also be in the foreseeable future.

……

"It's so delicious! This fish soup is amazing! I really can't eat it anymore. The original soup turns into the original food, it tastes great!"

Jiang Shengping changed her usual dull attitude, holding the porcelain bowl and pouring it into her mouth, she said she couldn't eat but kept moving, it didn't look like she couldn't eat.

"Okay, okay, eat less, there will be a team battle in the afternoon, you should calm down." Yao Min who was on the side advised, and unconsciously, Yao Min became a lot more mature, speaking like an adult.

Wu Tongsuo stood aside with a sad face. This Lanjiang Tower is a very famous restaurant in Lanwu City. There are private rooms and open rooms. Wu Tongsuo still doesn't know much about prices. The student came here, and after a meal, he took out a lot of Galo coins, which made him very heartbroken. Even Hu Peiwen complained about how to spend in such a high-end environment. Suo didn't care if there was other people's saliva on the leftovers, he picked up a piece of fish and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it directly.

"This mouthful is three Gala silver coins... This mouthful is two Gala silver coins..."

No one could hear Wu Tongsuo's broken thoughts. The students were very excited, especially the students who participated in the battle in the morning. Everyone knew that it was not easy to win. The overall level of the students is significantly higher than that of Dinghai Province. The victory is entirely due to the formation of troops, but this does not affect the excitement of the students.

Today, Ding Lin's mental outlook is very high-pitched, she seems to be in high spirits, she didn't eat much at the luncheon, her smooth and pretty face has a touch of pink, and the appearance of snickering while covering her mouth from time to time is very attractive, like a sweet Like a juicy peach, Qiao Bang's heart swayed, but he forcibly suppressed this admiration in his heart, always reminding himself that his real age had already exceeded 30 years old.

For some reason, Qiao Bang always had a narrow feeling. Ding Lin seemed to see that he was looking at her. When he and Ding Lin's gentle eyes intersected, Qiao Bang could feel that Ding Lin hurriedly dodged his sight, even if it was Later, Qiao Bang reminded himself not to think wildly, but he could still feel that Ding Lin was staring at him, and the focus of his eyes was always on him, making him at a loss what to do.

"Kids, look here."

Wu Tongsuo's voice was soft and his eyes were warm. The students all looked at Wu Tongsuo, waiting for Wu Tongsuo to continue.

"It's good to be happy that we won in the morning, but don't forget that we still have a team battle in the afternoon. Although we won, I have to remind you that the reason why we won in the morning is because your captain made sufficient intelligence analysis on the opponent. You are dealing with opponents that you can restrain. After defeating the opponent, the opponent will send out spirit warriors who restrain your contracted spirit beasts. With everyone's efforts, we won this battle. The team battle in the afternoon will test everyone's tacit understanding To a certain extent, the complementary element attributes will make it easier to persist, so I propose that Chopin, Ding Lin, Yang Liu, Wu Han, and Zhou Xin were originally on the field, and I want to make temporary adjustments to replace Wu Han and Lin Xinrui."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar. Of course, Wu Han was the most displeased. He had pouted his lips at the moment, obviously dissatisfied with Wu Tongsuo's decision.

"That's not right, class teacher, I don't think Wu Han should be replaced." Suddenly, a voice spread, and everyone stopped talking in whispers, and looked at Qiao Bang who stood up in shock.

"Tell me about your judgment." Wu Tongsuo was not annoyed, but looked at Qiao Bang with great interest. It can be said that half of the credit for the victory in the morning was due to Qiao Bang's overall planning. If Qiao Bang hadn't carried it head-on Without Ni Haoyang's offensive, it will be difficult to win consistently in the follow-up.

"I don't know if you have noticed, but there are three students on the other side who did not participate in the wheel battle in the morning, but their strength should not be underestimated. They are the former classmate Zhu Hankun who is standing on the viewing platform, and Feng Wenqing and Fan Zhiqiang who are standing on the bench. Zhu Hankun Everyone is more or less aware of his abilities. He has contracted wind-attribute spirit beasts and thunder-attribute spirit beasts. He has strong mobility and is good at supporting and interfering. Feng Wenqing has contracted wind-attribute spirit beasts and water-attribute spirit beasts. It is already close to the cultivation level of the spiritual realm, and Fan Zhiqiang is already at the spiritual realm, and has contracted wind and earth attribute spirit beasts and steel spirit beasts. My inference is that Feng Wenqing is good at trapping a single person, and it is likely to target I may belong to Yangliu, and Fan Zhiqiang is a spiritual warrior second only to Ni Haoyang, and the opponent will most likely join with Ni Haoyang to get rid of me first, so the group battle will become much easier."

"How did you get this information?" Wu Tongsuo couldn't help asking. He didn't expect Qiao Bang to be able to speak clearly and logically. After careful consideration, there was indeed some truth.

"I went to inquire while everyone was sleeping." Qiao Bang lied and didn't write a draft, and just made up a reason to prevaricate.

Everyone was shocked when this remark came out, especially Wu Han. He didn't expect Qiao Bang to do this in order to win. Did he work hard where others couldn't see it?

Everyone fell into thinking, what Qiaobang didn't know was that his perfunctory answer became the source of the students' introversion.

"So that's it, thank you for your hard work, student Chopin. Now that you have full confidence and judgment, which students do you think are suitable for the final lineup?"

"Me, Ding Lin, Nie Xiaolong, Wu Han, Zhou Xin."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"I infer that the opponent's lineup consists of Ni Haoyang, Yang Jungang, Zhu Hankun, Feng Wenqing, and Fan Zhiqiang. With Ni Haoyang and Fan Zhiqiang as the leaders, Yang Jungang will defend, and Zhu Hankun and Feng Wenqing will assist in support. Then I will use Zhou Xin and Nie Xiaolong as the offensive points. Ding Lin Interfere with Zhu Hankun's next move in the air, Nie Xiaolong interferes with Feng Wenqing as much as possible, Wu Han and Yang Jungang confront each other head-on, make sure to drag the opponent, and stay as far away from Ni Haoyang and Fan Zhiqiang as possible, while I will deal with Ni Haoyang and Fan Zhiqiang."

"You? Can you do it by yourself?" Wu Han couldn't help but opened his mouth, laughing, obviously feeling that he heard a big joke.

"Why not? Do you think I used [-]% of my strength in the morning?" Qiao Bang retorted and squinted at Wu Han. There were too many emotions in his eyes, which made Wu Han very uncomfortable.

Wu Han wanted to refute, but found that the students around him couldn't help nodding, which shocked him. He wanted to refute a few words, but felt very pale.

"This lineup is good, but Wu Han has just joined the academy and hasn't gotten along with you yet. Why don't you replace him and let Jiang Shengping play?" Wu Tongsuo reminded him, obviously he was still a little worried about Qiao Bang's deployment.

"It doesn't matter. Although Wu Han didn't get along with us, it will be difficult to cooperate, but this battle only needs Wu Han to toughen that Yang Jungang. As long as he can hold Yang Jungang, he can win. Wu Han, this battle Your role in the group battle is very important, whether you can hold Yang Jungang to decide whether we can let go of the attack, please." Qiao Bang felt bad when he heard that Wu Tongsuo wanted to change people before the battle, especially Wu Han's His brows were already furrowed, his mouth was murmuring unconsciously, he felt helpless, and he had to appease this new classmate on the surface.

"I'll definitely keep an eye on him!" Wu Han was still a child after all, and his unhappiness dissipated after hearing the high praise from his classmates, and he expressed his opinion immediately.

"Yang Liu, I'm sorry to let you rest, and I apologize to you here." Qiao Bang expressed his position in front of all the students, bowed, and his attitude was very respectful.

"It's okay, I don't like fighting either... Xiaolong, you have to work hard, take my share, and you must win!" Yang Liu was flattered, took a step back and waved his hands quickly, his distressed expression looked cute, and hurriedly changed the subject .

"I will fight until the last moment!" Nie Xiaolong clenched his fist and shook it upwards. A firm expression appeared on the baby's face, which made Hu Peiwen want to laugh out loud, but she held back. Then came The uncontrollable retching sound attracted the attention of all the students present.

"Mr. Hu, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Lin Xinrui was the closest to Hu Peiwen and asked.

"Your Teacher Hu is a little uncomfortable. It will be fine after the rest. You don't have to worry. You must pay attention to your own safety in the afternoon's battle. You don't have to fight hard. Life is not just this battle. You will have many battles to face in the future. , protecting yourself is the most important thing, is it clear?"

"understood."

Wu Tongsuo revealed the topic in a few words, and made the students mentally prepared. The students who could not play took the initiative to ask to come to the Lingwu battlefield to cheer for the students. Hu Songtao and Tian Ye took the lead to guide the students into the Colosseum. At the entrance, Wu Tongsuo supported Hu Peiwen and walked slowly forward. Wu Tongsuo's cautious appearance was a bit exaggerated, but Hu Peiwen enjoyed it very much. Pedestrians on the street went around after seeing this, and everyone with a discerning eye You can see Hu Peiwen's current situation.

"Brother Suo, you don't have to be so nervous, I'm fine."

"I'm not nervous, I'm just afraid that you will bump into each other."

"I'm not porcelain, you are too careful, people on the street are looking at me, don't be like this..."

"What are you afraid of, let them see more, how beautiful my wife is, and how handsome I am!"

"Brother Suo, I'm embarrassed, don't help me, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I agree to whatever you say."

The two walked slowly, and a pair of lovers walked shoulder to shoulder into the battlefield of Lingwu. Not far away, there was a fiery red figure standing motionless on the Lanjiang Tower, watching the two gradually go away until they disappeared from sight.

With red eyes, blurred eyes filled with tears, there are thousands of thoughts in my heart that I can't get rid of. I once hoped that the man would appear in front of me again, and the plot that has been brewing countless times has already been rehearsed How many times.

Now that they meet again, there is a beautiful woman by his side, so beautiful, it makes others feel ashamed.

I once dreamed of staying together for a lifetime, looking forward to having countless possibilities with that man, having children and grandchildren around my knees, reading all the smoke, etc...

Now he is mature enough. In the past, he was reckless and irritable. He drew his sword to help when he saw injustice.

Even on a sunny day, she still feels empty in her heart. Years of admiration have finally come to nothing, and her secret love has ended without a problem...

She is Xie Wangchuan, who has been infatuated and dreamy since ancient times, and her heart secretly promises to become empty.
