Doomsday Totem

Chapter 339 Fire Horn
After a day and night, nearly [-] hours of journey, at noon of the next day, the train finally arrived at the large gathering place of the Huojiao Clan - Yanyang Ancient Town.

The five ancient towns of the Rhinoceros Clan are all named after "Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth", such as "Xinling Ancient Town" of the Jinjiao Clan, "Senluo Ancient Town" of the Mujiao Clan, "Chuanmiao Ancient Town" of the Shuijiao Clan and Tujiao Ancient Town. The "Fengyao Ancient Town" of the clan.

Yanyang Ancient Town is located in a basin surrounded by mountains, with relatively gentle terrain.Along the way, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, colorful lakes, spring-like seasons, and a very pleasant climate.

After leaving the train station, Qin Ke'er hired a taxi and took Tie Slag and Mu Qianhe to Shanhaihu Hotel to stay.This taxi was a bit more worn out than the one in Yujing before, and it ran bumpy and rattled.

However, the driver from Yanyang Town was far less talkative than the one from Yujing. He drove the car wholeheartedly without saying anything extra.Sightseeing along the way, the houses in Yanyang Town are more antique and quiet than those in Yujing.Looking around, one after another, small and exquisite pavilions are hidden in the downtown area, and they look forward to being surrounded by bamboo forests.
About half an hour later, the taxi drove into a dark and far-reaching forest path with luxuriant foliage, and came to a hotel with simple and elegant decoration, simple and elegant.From the mottled traces on the beams and columns of the porch, it is not difficult to see that this hotel has a long history.

"This store has a history of 3000 years. From ancient times to the present, except for the nuclear winter period after the ancient nuclear war, it has never been closed." Qin Keer introduced.Shanhaihu Hotel is the most advanced hotel in Yanyang Ancient Town, and she once stayed with her father for one night.The consumption here is, undoubtedly, extremely expensive for her family.But it's different now, she follows the iron slag, and there is almost nothing she can't afford.

After a while, the waiter drove the battery car and sent the three of them to the mountain lake behind the hotel.

On the platform by the lake, there are long tables covered with white tablecloths.Looking around, there are very few customers at this time, only a few scattered tables.

Afterwards, Tie Slag picked a seat closest to the lake and sat down.Looking from here, it is a mirror-like lake, and you can also see a few boats floating on the lake.

Qin Keer showed the Zijin card to the waiter, and the waiter immediately invited the restaurant manager over.

"My dear lady, what would you like to have for lunch today?" the manager asked respectfully.

Qin Ke'er didn't speak, and raised her slender hand, motioning for the manager to ask Tie Slag.

"Dear sir, what would you like to have for lunch today?" The manager turned around and asked humbly.

"What is famous here?" Tie Slag asked back.

"Large grass carp in Shanhai Lake, one fish eats nine, and it is caught, killed and cooked now." The manager replied.

"One fish and nine meals? What's the matter?" Tie Slag asked.Due to the lack of water in the northern wilderness, it is difficult to eat fish, so he doesn't know much about how to cook fish.

"Fish head soup, fish bone porridge, fish tail deep-fried, fish skin vinegared, fish belly braised, fish spine steamed, fish fillet shabu-shabu, fish maw stir-fried, fish scales frozen." Qin Ke'er articulated first replied.

"It's amazing~" Mu Qianhe clapped his hands lightly, Qin Ke'er immediately raised his eyebrows and glanced at her triumphantly.

"Then try it." Tie Slag said.

A few minutes after the manager and the waiter stepped back, a small boat left the shore. .

"Look, that boat is for us to catch fish." Qin Ke'er held Tie Slag's arm and said, pointing to the boat that was rowing towards the center of the lake.

"What should I do if I can't catch any fish?" Mu Qianhe looked at Qin Ke'er and asked with great interest.

"Cold salad!" Qin Ke'er said with a stern face and disdain.

"You're so arrogant..." "Just arrogant, what's wrong?" "Okay... I'll call you Sister Arrogant from now on." Mu Qianhe said with a sigh.

"Don't bark." Qin Ke'er said with one hand on her hip.

"I'm going to call, Sister Arrogant Zhang, what's wrong?" Mu Qianhe countered.

While the two women were arguing, a tall, bald man in a red vest with scale tattoos on his shoulders walked over.

"In Xialongsan, people on the road call it Dragon Head Cannon." The bald man rubbed his head and introduced himself in a rough voice.Then, pointing to a table not far away, he said, "My elder brother would like to invite three friends over to sit down and get to know each other and form a good relationship."

Tie Slag looked at the boat in the lake, neither turned his head nor spoke.

Seeing this, Long San was not angry. He gave a hearty laugh, then clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Brother, as the saying goes, you rely on your parents at home and friends when you go out. It seems that this is your first time in the Far East, right?"

Tie Slag turned his head, looked at Long San, and said calmly: "Friend, please go back, we are not used to communicating with strangers."

"As the saying goes, the first time you are born, the second time you are acquainted." Long San said sincerely.

Tie Slag had just arrived in the Far East and was not yet familiar with the environment, so he didn't intend to cause trouble.He picked up the table knife on the table and twisted it hard, twisting the iron knife into a hemp rope shape.

I thought that showing this hand would make the other party retreat in the face of difficulties, but the result was far from satisfactory.Looking at the deformed table knife, Long San didn't show much surprise.

"It turns out that my brother is also a martial arts practitioner, not bad..." Long San said as he walked to the stone fence on the edge of the platform, suddenly his body sank slightly, followed by a loud shout, and at the same time he kicked his legs hard, He slammed into the stone pillar of the guardrail with the thick mouth of the bowl.

In the next second, there was only a muffled sound of "Boom!", and the stone pillar broke in response, breaking into several pieces in mid-air, and falling into the lake one after another.

"Brother, my iron head skill is not bad." After one blow, Long San came back, patted the stone powder on his forehead, and said.

"Crack!" Seeing that force could not intimidate the opponent, Tie Slag took out a badge from his inner pocket and slapped it on the table.

Long San took a closer look, and saw that it was an iron badge engraved with some kind of small flower.

"Are you from the Red Flower Society?" Long San asked after hesitating for a while.

"Uh..." Tie Slag was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to say.Unexpectedly, the world-renowned Lombard family was unknown here...

"Crack!" Iron Slag reacted quickly and took out the second badge.

Long San took a careful look, it was engraved with the bear paw logo.He immediately cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Brother, it turns out that you belong to the Black Bear Club of Senluo Town. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"What kind of black bear!" Tie Slag frowned deeply, obviously about to have an attack.

Seeing Tie Slag's continuous deflation, the two girls finally couldn't help it anymore, and at the same time, they let out a "puchi..." and laughed so hard that their flowers trembled wildly.

Seeing that Tie Slag's face was getting darker and darker, Qin Ke'er didn't dare to laugh any longer, and suppressed her smile, with a crisp "Bang!", she also took out a badge.

The emblem was engraved with a background of flames and a single horn of a rhinoceros. Long San glanced at it, and involuntarily took a step back.His complexion changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out in an instant.

"Long...Long San...you... have eyes but don't know Mount Tai...I'm sorry..." Long San clasped his hands together and bowed to Qin Ke'er as he spoke.

"Let's go." Qin Ke'er said expressionlessly.

"Thank you...thank you...for me...not...for us...the Grass Dragon Society...ask...greetings...to Grandmaster..." Long San stammered, as if he had been greatly affected frightened.

"What qualifications does an underground organization have to say hello to Grandmaster Huojiao?" Qin Ke'er asked coldly.

"Yes... yes..." Long San nodded, backed away, and quickly ran back to his companion.After a while, they left in a panic.

"clang……"

Not long after Long San and the others left, there was a loud metal knocking sound in the distance.Qin Ke'er followed the sound, and immediately saw two fishermen on the small boat on the lake, holding a struggling big fish together.

"Wow~ look, it's caught!" Qin Ke'er shouted excitedly, shaking Tie Slag's arm.

As the boat docked, about 10 minutes later, plates of steaming fish were served.This big grass carp weighs more than 100 catties, and only a small part of it is used for cooking.

"Come~ try boiled fish fillets~ this one is a bit spicy, but very fragrant~" Qin Ke'er picked up a piece of fish with red oil for Iron Slag, first blew it on the side of his small mouth, and then put it in his mouth In a small white porcelain bowl.

"Come and try this, the red-wrapped fish belly, it tastes like Ke'er's little meat, soft and sweet..." Mu Qianhe picked up a piece of fish belly and put it in the small iron slag. into the bowl, and quickly picked out the fish fillet put by Qin Ke'er, and ate it in one bite.

"You!" Qin Ke'er gritted her teeth, blushing.

"Ouch~ I'm angry~ My sister is here to clip you~ okay~" "No." "Okay~" "Don't~" "Come~" "Don't!"

While laughing and cursing, a sumptuous whole fish meal was finished.After eating and drinking, the three of them returned to the hotel, asked for a suite, and stayed in it.

They are here for two reasons.One is that Qin Keer will take Tie Zha to visit the Fire Horn Temple tomorrow, and Tie Zha also wants to visit the ancient temple.On this point, the two hit it off and settled down like this; second, Qinjia Village is located in a remote mountainous area, there is no road to pass through, so you have to take a small car first, wait until the nearest market to Qinjia Village, and then transfer to animal power. The car moved on.

It has to be said that after coming to the Far East in person, Tie Zha deeply realized the poverty, backwardness and simplicity of the Far East.On the one hand, the economy in the Far East is poor, and there are hardly many decent factories along the way.Moreover, even the commercial street in Yujing City, the ancient capital of thousands of years, is not very prosperous, and the flow of people is not even comparable to the street in Fengshabao, let alone Yanyang Ancient Town.On the other hand, people in the Far East attach great importance to tradition, and there are traces of ancient times almost everywhere, from a small stone pier on a stone bridge to the entire garden, all of which are full of historical charm and a long-lasting atmosphere.

What's more, through these two days of observation, Tie Zha discovered that the life rhythm of Far Eastern people is very slow and leisurely.They are not in a hurry, preferring to spend time chatting rather than doing more.From the speed of walking, to the time it takes to serve meals, to the process of checking in to the hotel, everything is very slow...

Here, everything seems to be half a beat slow.Iron Slag also discovered that people in the Far East like to eat something called "melon seeds", which include pointed sunflower seeds, red and black watermelon seeds, and light green pumpkin seeds.As you walk along the street, you can see people gathering in groups of three or four, drinking Far Eastern tea, nibbling melon seeds, and spitting non-stop.Following their hasty and loud voices, the melon seed shells mixed with saliva flew around...
