Hang Yanling sniffled, and the little flowers on his forehead swayed in the wind.

After experiencing the assassination of the demon hunting team last night, the whole day today was peaceful.

Because in a more populated place, Ayan can no longer fly with himself and the little fox on his back like before.

Of course, Hang Yanling could choose to purchase enough supplies and let Ayan fly back to the imperial capital with him, but now Hang Yanling is obviously more interested in another matter than seeing another Hang Yanling and the third prince.

"Monster"

This title was not heard much when Hang Yanling was Fu Tianqing in his previous life. If there is any similar concept, it is only that Fu Tianqing went to Wanshou Mountain to practice when he was young.

He is more familiar with "spiritual beasts" than "monsters".

Because of his preconceived notions, for a long time, he always thought that Yaozu were just monsters that could transform into human form.

Get along with Xiao Hei day and night, until witnessing Xiao Hei's withered feathers and death.

The relationship between the monster clan and the earth veins, the grievances between the monster clan and humans.

They regard each other as enemies, but trade through "faith".

Originally, according to Hang Yanling's personality, she would not delay her actions because of these things, but now after getting to know Lai Laizi, Hang Yanling had to slow down her pace of going to Dongzhou.

She is now a "monster".

A monster tribe went to the Eastern Capital for a debate as a "saint" and fought a "dispute between national religions".

Winning will undoubtedly gain faith, and this faith symbolizes power for the Yaozu.

So, will this be a good thing for Eastern State?

What kind of end will I end up with?

Now being a Zijinmu dryad that is hard to come by is uncomfortable enough, if he becomes a monster saint with faith in himself, then he will really become a Tang monk.

You can't just return to Dongzhou rashly, at least you have to investigate some things before making a decision.

"Goo-"

The whining sound from the abdomen caught Hang Yanling's attention. She turned her head and saw the little fox Lai Laizi walking behind her with her back bent, clutching her belly, with a miserable look on her face: "I'm so hungry." oh."

It's noon now, and it's indeed time for dinner.

A Yan, who was walking beside Hang Yanling, also hugged his shoulders and frowned seriously: "What did I eat this morning...why am I not hungry?"

The little fox Lailai stomped her feet angrily: "This morning you kept saying you didn't have enough to eat, so I gave you half of my portion of noodles. Why don't you remember it? Even if you are the one... Oh, forget it! I'll forget it when I'm so mad!"

She squatted on the ground angrily, holding her face, and became emotional.

Today's Lailaizi has lost her ears and tail, and her appearance is no different from that of an ordinary little girl.

Reluctantly, Hang Yanling took out a steamed bun from the ring and handed it to the little fox, and comforted him, "Tell me when you're hungry, it's not like we didn't have something to eat."

"I want to eat meat, hot meat, and I get angry when I think of that stinky dog ​​looking so proud!! Damn it, why do guys like that have believers, but I don't!"

"Huh? Are you talking about the dog brought by the hunting team?"

"of course!"

"...Wait, let's fill our stomachs first."

Hang Yanling looked at the pedestrians on the left and right, took Lai Laizi's hand, and walked crookedly to the front of a barbecue shop.

The aroma of barbecue wafting from the store made Lai Laizi swallow sharply, pointing at the store: "This is it! This is it!!"

"Hey, good."

Hang Yanling looked at the shop, was stunned for a while, and brought the two little girls into the shop.

This kind of barbecue restaurant is also a specialty of Dongzhou. The dining table is not an ordinary square wooden table, but a narrow and hollow wooden shelf with a large copper pot in the middle, filled with charcoal.

There is an iron net on the top of the copper pot. Diners buy all kinds of cut raw meat from the store, skewer them with iron skewers and put them on the copper pot for grilling. Add some cumin and chili powder as you like. of seasonings.

It is very similar to the modern barbecue, but the difference is that because there is no such convenient device for storing meat as a refrigerator, the meat in the store is bought first, cut first, and slaughtered fresh on the same day.

This kind of shop tends to do better business in winter, and three or five close friends gather around a table to drink and eat meat, warm and warm.But it was just autumn at this time, and there were not many people in the store. The store owner was sitting behind the cabinet, yawning listlessly.

"Boss, in the Tianzihao private room, here are fifteen plates of mutton and fifteen plates of pork."

Hang Yanling casually threw a silver coin on the table, and then dragged the two little girls towards the private room upstairs.

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes, looked at the two little girls who walked up with sleepy eyes, and said in a daze, "Huh?"

I haven't told you where the private room is yet, why did you go up there by yourself?

Moreover, the people who come to this kind of shop are usually thick and strong men. Where did the three little girls come from?

Looking back at the silver on the cabinet, I had another guess in my heart.

Probably the eldest lady of some family brought the maid out to experience life, hey, it's really interesting.

——————————————————————————————

Pushing open the door of the Tianzihao private room, the unfinished meat left by the diners at the previous table was still on the table, some were burnt, and some were gnawed after being roasted.There are also some left untouched on porcelain plates.

Lai Laizi entered the door and looked, her eyes lit up, obviously she had paid to come to this private room, but the whole person walked to the table treacherously, looked left and right, quickly reached out and picked up a piece of leftover meat and put it on the table. Into the mouth, chewing Gu Ji Gu Ji.

"Hmmmm, it's too hot, it's not baked well, it's really unpalatable."

Hang Yanling looked at the little fox's hopeless appearance, smiled and walked to the table and sat down, waving to Lai Laizi to stop embarrassing her.

"Don't say that they are unpalatable while eating their leftovers."

"But it's just burnt."

"Not at all, it's just a little hard, maybe it's been left to cool for too long. Ummm... tsk tsk, and there's too much salt."

"That's no different from bacon, oh wow, and there's this piece of good oil, the big fat meat won't taste good when it cools down."

"You are stupid, this kind of fat is a good thing, and it can be rubbed on the steamed buns for dinner in the future. How precious is the fat?"

"It makes sense, you understand well, what about this one?"

"It should be like a debt on the table, huh. Young people these days really don't know how to be frugal."

"I feel the same way, wow, look here is half a raw leg that hasn't been bitten!"

"Good things, good things, bring them, we two eat one bite, if we eat too much, we'll be puppies."

"I'm a fox, how can I lose this man! Come on, come on—"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the waiter who was ordered by the shopkeeper to come up to clean the table opened the curtain and shouted with a business-like smile: "Three girls, I'll clean up—"

Before he finished speaking, the smile froze on his face.

In the mouth of the shopkeeper, the three daughters who are stupid and have never seen the world, except for one who is sitting on a chair in a daze, and the other two are catching the leftovers of the guests on the table. The meat is eating vigorously.

how to say……

It's not like Miss Qianjin.

Are these two beggars who came in to steal leftovers?

"Uh... two, two?"

The waiter and the two of them looked at each other and shouted in embarrassment.

The two little girls trembled, and immediately dropped the things in their hands like thieves, and rushed towards the window at the same time, as if they were about to jump out of the window.

"and many more!"

It wasn't until Hang Yanling creaked and pushed the window open that he suddenly noticed something was wrong, grabbed Lai Laizi who was about to jump off, and asked with a serious face: "Isn't it right? We paid before going upstairs, right?"

Lai Laizi blinked, her small mouth opened into a circle: "Yes!"

After reacting, Hang Yanling shrank back and shouted angrily at the shop waiter: "What! We spent money!"

Lai Laizi also jumped back into the room, pinched her waist, and nodded triumphantly: "That's right, I paid for it."

The shop waiter was stunned for a long time, and then replied dumbfounded: "Ah, yes, I paid for it... I, I came to clear the table for the three of you..."

These two overly righteous reactions made the waiter feel guilty.

It’s over.

Are these two young ladies who don't know the depths of the world, or are these two beggars who suddenly made a fortune?

"Yes, why don't you two change to a clean private room? Well, how should I put it... No, it's not suitable?"

————————————————————————————

In the local private room of the barbecue restaurant, the meat is fully prepared, the seasoning is fully prepared, and the charcoal fire in the stove is roasting vigorously.

Hang Yanling's head is also low and heavy.

The shop clerk wiped off his cold sweat before leaving, looked back and closed the door, the enclosed space sank in silent embarrassment for a while.

Hang Yanling grabbed his knees with both hands, and didn't dare to lift his head in embarrassment.

Lai Laizi took out the silver that Hang Yanling gave her yesterday from her bosom, hesitated for a long time, pointed at the silver and asked, "I said, the money you gave me yesterday...couldn't be you who stole it?"

"no……"

Hang Yanling's voice was as thin as that of a mosquito.

"Then why do you feel that the poor have more experience than me..."

"How should I put it, life will always have various experiences... Anyway, let's barbecue first."

"Ah, yes yes."

The two changed the topic tacitly.

The fresh meat was put on the iron rack, and it gave off a sizzling smell of meat oil. Hang Yanling cheered up his brain, exhaled and asked: "Come back to business, you just said that that dog has followers... Are those from the Hunting Squad?"

"Yeah, didn't you see that human was very respectful to that stinky dog?"

"I don't understand that. The members of the hunting team make a living by hunting monsters. They are the group of people who look down on monsters the most. How can they believe in monsters?"

Lai Laizi curled her lips, turned the barbecue with chopsticks, and said boredly: "Wouldn't the sects on the human side attack each other? Believe in a monster, and it doesn't conflict with them to hurt other monsters. It's very simple."

"But I think the members of the Monster Hunting Team should look at that dog as a tool, right? No, to be precise... it's more like a cash cow? God of Wealth...?"

"Humans also worship the God of Wealth. The name is not important. The important thing is that the dog has been 'trusted' and 'respected' by humans, and enjoys the 'support' of humans. The earth veins have opened up a little for it, so that dog Dare to be proud of me, a foreign monster, hmph, purely in terms of strength, I would eat this kind of stinky dog ​​raw without chewing it!"

Furious, Lai Laizi was rubbing seasoning on the barbecue while observing the heat. This particular look did not correspond to what he had said.

"That is to say, as long as this condition is met, not establishing a religion can also become a 'faith'..."

"Well, let me give you an example."

Lai Laizi put the grilled meat on a plate, jumped off the chair with the plate in hand, walked to the bed, and pointed to a fortune-telling booth on the street outside the window: "Did you see that old man?"

"Ah."

The fortune teller was an old man in a gray coat, with a bald forehead, a white beard, and many wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was seven or eighty years old.Sitting on a small bench, pinching the wrist of an aunt, squinting and muttering some hexagrams.

"That fortune teller is actually a black chicken demon."

"Eh?"

"And there are believers, such as the aunt who is being counted."

Lailaizi snorted contemptuously through his nose: "It's not good at divination, but as long as it has a dexterous mouth and can speak well, and can coax one or two human beings who have been deceived by him, thank you very much. When he was a fairy, he could also gain faith in this way—you see, he dared to set up a stall on the street, and I am afraid that he has already deceived many people."

"Can't the hunting team notice it?"

"The monster with more beliefs can absorb more blessings from the earth, and the ability to transform humans is stronger. He has no flaws at first glance. It is difficult for humans to see, even if the monsters in the hunting team look at it. Come out, I guess I don't want to conflict with these belief monsters."

"Why, isn't it a good thing that the number of monsters has decreased?"

"Even if the black-bone chicken spirit is killed, the faith will not be passed on to the monsters of the hunting team. Faith is not money. Whoever grabs it will be the one who gets it. Maybe it will offend the believers of the black-bone chicken spirit and cause trouble. Come to unnecessary trouble."

"I see."

Hang Yanling nodded and returned to the table.

A Yan sat in front of the table boredly, dangling his two calves, and shouted boredly: "I'm so hungry, can I have dinner?"

"Eat, eat, you can eat whatever is on this table."

"real!?"

"Ah."

A Yan got Hang Yanling's permission, and his face immediately became happy. He stretched out his hand, but he didn't take the chopsticks. Instead, he lifted the iron net, reached out and picked up a piece of red charcoal in his hand. Then he took a bite like biting an apple.

"Um--"
