The "Eight Treasures" handed down from generation to generation are mostly interpreted according to the "Book of Rites", which are: Chunao, Chunmu, Paoyu, Paoyu, Daozhen, Zhuan, Boiled and Gansu.

But time has changed, and the Eight Treasures of Zhou Li have been interpreted differently in different histories.

The most recent one is known by Su Qingya. In the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Treasures were divided into landscapes, with "bear paws, deer antlers, rhinoceros noses, hump humps, civet cats, leopard fetuses, lion breasts, and monkey heads" as the eight mountain treasures, and "shark fins, Abalone, fish lip, sea cucumber, skirt, scallop, crispy fish, toad" are the eight treasures of water.

In the Manchu Banquet alone, there are four kinds of eight treasures: mountains, seas, poultry, and grass.

The name of "Eight Treasures" can be traced back to the Ming, Yuan, Tang, and Song Dynasties, and the records of these eight things are not the same in all dynasties.

However, there were popular legends recorded by the Ming Dynasty that the eight treasures can also be called "dragon liver, phoenix marrow, leopard fetus, carp tail, owl burnt, scarlet lips, bear's paw, and crisp cheese cicada". This is the only eight treasure. In the recipe, the words "Cicada" appeared.

Eating cicadas as a meal has existed since ancient times.

But the crisp cheese cicada is one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in the handed down recipes.

Comparing the dragon liver, phoenix marrow, etc., it is inferred that this "crispy cheese cicada" is not used to make the whole cicada, but to take something from the cicada.But is it to use cicada wings, cicada sloughs or cicada touches, or young cicadas?No one has been able to solve this problem so far, and many cooks have also used fried golden cicadas or five-spice golden cicadas instead.

Of course, among the "Eight Treasures", the dragon liver and phoenix marrow were originally fabricated, so the liver of giant salamander was used instead of dragon liver, and the brain marrow of golden pheasant instead of phoenix marrow.And carp tail is not literally the tail of a carp, but the tail of a pangolin.

In ancient times, pangolin was called dace carp, which can also be regarded as a kind of "carp".

The reason why Su Qingya thought of these "eight treasures" was probably because of the peak owner who died tragically on Wupan Peak.

It was okay to say that the peak master of Jinxi Peak spit out cicadas before, but when the peak master of Wupan Peak had strange black hairs on his arms and his palm disappeared, Su Qingya had an association, and then went to Heisui Peak... …

The real record sent by Hei Suifeng made the disciple feel sick, mainly because the peak master's face was fat and swollen, and his whole person was as terrifying as being stung by a wasp, but the way of death was very fresh—being gouged out by someone There was only a bloody hole left on the entire lip.

Senran Baiya faced Zhenlu directly, making his scalp tingle.

The old man Qianfeng didn't expect such a turn of events. He traced the past, but found that every place he went, before he could investigate carefully, there was another danger and warning. Like walking by the nose, I ran all the peaks near Jinxi Peak.

Before Su Qingya had time to tell the truth about the "Eight Treasures", they had already traveled all eight peaks including Jinxi Peak.

The last person is the peak owner of Baima Peak. When the old man Qianfeng arrived with Su Qingya and Lu Ye, he was still alive, so he held the hand of the old man Qianfeng and lay trembling in the pool full of ice floes. Said the word "chan".

Of course the old man Qianfeng knew about cicadas, but he didn't know which kind of cicada or which "cicada" the other party was talking about.

The owner of White Horse Peak died after his liver was gouged out, but this peak owner used to be a wandering doctor. Although his medical skills were not as good as Yang Yuhuan's, he still knew some common sense, and immediately made the people around him gather together. The ice water saved his life for a while.

The old man Qianfeng had an ugly expression on his face, he was stuck in the spot thinking about something.

On the other hand, Su Qingya whispered his conjectures about the "Eight Treasures" to the old man Qianfeng and Lu Ye. Lu Ye didn't comment on what he heard. After all, what he saw on the eight mountains coincided with the "Eight Treasures", but the only problem Yes—why kill "people"?

Human beings have nothing to do with dragon liver, phoenix marrow, or scarlet lips. Even if the "eight treasures" are to be made, it should never be done in such a cruel way.

Could it be that because of the stingy attitude of the old man Qianfeng, there is no food in the entire Qianfengmen for the time being, and the person behind him is going to use such cruel methods to make such bloody eight treasures?

Lu Ye shook his head, really wondering why.

The old man Qianfeng naturally thought of this too. He stood at the same spot and secretly glanced at Su Qingya, then shook his head again, denying his own conjecture—and regardless of whether Su Qingya has no spiritual power, if he wants to get rid of eight people quietly. It is very difficult to be a monk with a high cultivation base.

Although Lu Ye has this ability, but they just came, and they can't find so many people at all, so it is impossible for them to do the thing.

After hesitating for a moment, the old man Qianfeng said: "Master, little mistress, such a big event happened inside the door, you... why don't you go back first? It's inconvenient for me to entertain you when something like this happens."

"Since the other party is using the dishes," Su Qingya shook his head: "I think it's better for us to stay, after all, in the world—you can't find a second person who is more familiar with the recipes than me, and Xiaoqianfeng , this is not your fault."

The old man Qianfeng was taken aback, and looked at Su Qingya, but saw that the other party was smiling, while Lu Ye behind him gave him a reassuring look.

"Let's go back to Jinxi Peak to have a look," Lu Ye suggested, "After all, that's where it all started."

The old man Qianfeng nodded, and after a while they returned to Jinxi Peak.

The people on Jinxi Peak have almost gone now, leaving a bare and lifeless mountain peak, and the sound of cicadas chirping makes people feel flustered.The cause of the peak master's death is unknown, and all the apprentices here have run away, so we can only start with the peak master's corpse for the time being.

There was no trace of poisoning on the peak master's body, and no violence was used. The only jaw that was removed was also force from the mouth.The old man Qianfeng frowned, and probed with his spiritual sense. The internal organs of this person's stomach had been emptied, and only some broken cicada sloughs remained.

The places where the five internal organs used to be were dripping with blood, and the internal organs were bitten to pieces.

Disgusted by such a shocking scene, the old man Qianfeng's eyes went black for a long time, swallowed his saliva for a long time, and told Su Qingya and Lu Ye about his conjecture—this person probably ate something, and there was something in it. Cicada eggs, and then the cicada eggs hatched and gradually devoured his internal organs, and then this person was gone.

But the strange thing is that although those cicadas mutated, they were not caused by the intrusion of devil energy.

And this person is already the peak master of Yifeng, and his spiritual power is extremely high, how could he fall into such a trap.Moreover, it takes time for cicadas to hatch. It is not summer now, and the human body is not in a stagnant state. How could it be taken by the cicada pupae and become what it is today.

The old man Qianfeng couldn't figure it out, and Lu Ye even checked the top and bottom of Jinzhuo Peak, but he couldn't find any trace of magic energy.Su Qingya used a sticky stick to get down a few cicadas outside, and found that most of these cicadas were cicadas that could sing, and the sound was so loud that it shook the eardrums.

Like many other insects, male cicadas differ from females in that they have an extra vocal organ.Therefore, only the male cicadas sing, and the female cicadas are silent.The chirping of cicadas in summer is also mostly male cicadas singing to females.

"You say..." Su Qingya didn't have the ability of Lu Ye and Qianfeng to know the whole story by moving his fingers and closing his eyes, so he asked, "Could there be male cicadas on Jinxi Peak?"

Lu Ye checked, and then nodded at Su Qingya with a serious expression.

If there are only male cicadas in the mountains, who will they listen to?Su Qingya was quite puzzled, and if they hadn't bumped into the little girl from Jinxi Peak by accident, they wouldn't have discovered the corpses one after another like lighting a hundred firecrackers.

"I'm going to find that girl," the old man Qianfeng had almost understood Su Qingya's thoughts, he stood up: "I still need to trouble master and young mistress to help find out who it is - who is coming to deal with our Qianfeng sect .”

In fact, except for Jinxi Peak and Baima Peak, which they had investigated in detail, they did not examine the remaining six peaks carefully.Especially the carp tail, which makes Su Qingya very curious - it is impossible for a human to have a tail, how does this person make eight treasures?

And in this Eight Treasures recipe, the owl's eyes are roasted as well.

Human pupils and owl pupils are different after all, this person is so serious about collecting all eight treasures, I'm afraid he won't take it lightly.So what is the basis for judging who he chooses to kill?

So, Su Qingya and Lu Ye came to the peaks where the peak masters were killed.

Qianfengmen's reputation is well-deserved. Although the school's infighting is very common, the atmosphere on different mountain peaks is also different.Some disciples fled immediately after the tragic death of the peak master, like Jin Xifeng, some stayed behind to take care of the aftermath of the peak master, and some had already started competitions to choose a new sect master.

And the person who represents "Phoenix Marrow" is a woman.

The girl died in a miserable state, her head was smashed open, but no brain can be seen in the bloody flesh.I asked other people on the mountain, and they all said that there was a very beautiful woman in front of the girl, who likes to wear a golden phoenix feather earring on weekdays, and nothing else.

However, although the phoenix feather earrings are expensive, they are not rare. There are so many people in the Qianfeng sect, why did they choose her to be the "phoenix marrow"?

"...Sister Yunnian prides herself on being beautiful," a pale-faced little girl said, and Su Qingya realized that she had expressed her doubts in her heart. If it looks a little bit like her, then, even if it is made of gold, no one else is allowed to use it."

"What will happen if you use it?" Lu Ye asked.

"...will die." This time the little girl answered concisely. Su Qingya and Lu Ye looked at the girls next to them, and found that they all had expressions of fear on their faces, and they understood that this girl must have been a fierce and powerful person before she was alive. .

The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds, and thousands of people have always congratulated it, but if a woman takes it with brute force...

Su Qingya sighed, expressing that he understood the beginning and end of it.As for the carp tail, most of the disciples on the peak are spiritual practitioners.They rely on spirit beasts in their practice, and everyone has their own spirit beast, but the peak master's spirit beast turned out to be a scorpion.

Fei was born in Mount Tai. It looks like a cow with a white head and a snake tail.

This beast is a ferocious beast, it runs on water, dries up the water, runs on the grass, and the grass withers, causing great harm to the people, but it is not common.If you want to classify spirit beasts into three, six, or nine grades, Nafei can be regarded as the best spirit beast, and it also has a strong cultivation base and spiritual power, which can help spiritual practitioners master and improve.

When the peak master died, the spirit beasts around him had disappeared, but his appearance had become similar to Fei's - his face was pale, his hair and eyebrows were rapidly turning white, and he was also wearing a cowhide jacket. The leg was cut off, but the skin on the waist and abdomen was covered with scales.

Lu Ye explained that such situations do exist in spiritual practice, but they are more common in those who inflict torture on spirit beasts or directly absorb the spiritual power of spirit beasts.

This peak master looks like a dog, is he also a scum in spiritual practice?

The more Lu Ye and Su Qingya watched, the more they felt that these things were very strange. When they saw Xiaozhi—the reason why the peak master had his eyes gouged out was because he was born with animal eyes, and his biological mother was born with a monster. , he also has a Yaozu elder brother who was beheaded by Immortal Dao before.

Su Qingya frowned: "Who the murderer chooses to kill...isn't that a little too casual?"

Lu Ye nodded, and added what Su Qingya hadn't finished saying: "On the one hand, it's far-fetched, on the other hand, it's also very particular, as if it wasn't done by one person..."

While the two were talking, Luye's ring lit up, and old man Qianfeng said that he had found the girl.

[Friend][Old Man Qianfeng]: I found her, but her name——

[Friend][Old Man Qianfeng]: Her name is Jiang Cichan.

Su Qingya: I'm just an innocent kitten.

Lu Ye: Put down the owl leg in your hand and speak again!

Qianfeng: Woohoo, my sister!
