The skin of the sand Luo fish is a bit thick, and when it is cleaned, the outer skin is rough and the inner is smooth. Du Heng cut the silver-gray fish skin into palm-sized pieces and put them in a wooden basin, pouring white wine, green onion and ginger water to marinate.After two cups of tea, Du Heng fished out the fish skin and prepared to wrap it in starch and put it in the oil pan.
Du Heng felt rather uneasy. He added starch to the fish skin and said with a smile: "I'll deep-fry a slice first, and you can taste it for me first. If it tastes good, I'll continue to fry it, okay?"
Du Heng also added prickly ash and five-spice powder to the starch. He thought that the fish skin would be more fishy, and the stronger seasoning might taste better.
After the oil was hot, Du Heng threw a piece of fish skin into the pot first.The fish skin curled slightly after being fried, but it didn't have the fishy smell as expected, it just smelled like fried shrimp and crab.
Smiling and squatting on the stove to miss Jiujiu, Xuanyu translated: "Smiling and saying, he misses your braised prawns and fried small crabs."
Du Heng rubbed his head with a smile: "There are still prawns and small crabs in the refrigerator. I'll fry them for you after we cross the river, okay? Put them in your pocket and eat slowly."
Liu Lingling said curiously: "You Daoist Du, this little spirit pet is like a child, so cute." Du Heng smiled and said, "Isn't that right? In our eyes, these are all furry children."
The fish skin is quickly fried until golden on both sides, and the silver-gray fish skin is wrapped in the yellowish batter.Du Heng scooped up the fish skin and put it on a plate, the curly fish skin was still creaking.
After the fish skin cooled down a little, Du Heng asked with a smile: "Do I need to fry it again? It will be more crispy."
Feng Gui stretched out a paw and pinched the fish skin away: "No need, I think this is not bad."
Smile:! ! !
Feng Gui chewed the fish skin, and said to the point: "The taste is not bad, it just smells like fried fish skin, if it is more spicy, it will be more perfect... um..."
Before Fenggui could finish speaking, Xiaoxiao had already raised his head and hit Fenggui's belly, Fenggui's figure was knocked back by Xiaoxiao so that he took two steps back.
Xiaoxiao, who succeeded, immediately wiped away tears and threw herself into Du Heng's arms to complain about his uncle's behavior: "Jiujiujiu..." He doesn't want such an uncle anymore, shameless!Extremely shameless!Extremely... extremely shameless!
Feng Gui rubbed his belly and said resentfully: "Eating a piece of your fish skin, you are so stingy. It's a waste of my usual kindness to you. Hey... What's the use of raising birds, it's better to raise a dog."
After hearing what Feng Gui said, Little Wonton immediately stood up and shrank into a corner, hoping that the flames of war would not burn on it.There was a lot of noise in the cave, and Renxiu seemed to be watching a play. Wen Tingzhi said amusedly, "I don't know why, but seeing Fellow Daoist Du and his party made me feel relaxed."
Xu Changge said: "They don't feel like casual cultivators who are exhausted, but like a family traveling in mountains and rivers." I have to say that Xu Changge's intuition is very keen. After he said this, human cultivators will look at Du Heng again. A group of people feel that they are leisurely and leisurely.
Jing Nan said with a smile: "The casual cultivators are not protected like the disciples of the Great Sect. People like us are precarious. Maybe they will disappear when they encounter some disaster. Rather than worrying about it all day long, it is better to enjoy it freely." every day."
Mu Qian cupped his hands in admiration: "What Fellow Daoist Nanjing said is very true."
The two uncles and nephews who fought over a piece of fish skin quickly reconciled, because Du Heng fried more fish skin next.This time he fried it again, and the fish skin tasted even more crispy.
The fish skin with five-spice powder and pepper noodles is spicy and crispy.It's great for drinking or as a snack, but the skin side of the fish is rough and absorbs too much oil, and it will feel fatty after eating a few more slices.
The freshly baked crispy fish skin soon reached Renxiu's mouth, but Liu Lingling and the others refused it at first.It's fine to eat raw fish before, but now they don't even let the fish skin go, Du Heng and the others are really good at living, right?This frugality is scary.
However, when they ate the fish skin, each of them was really fragrant.
After the fish skin is ready, Du Heng will start steaming the fish. He is already familiar with steaming fish.He steamed many of the sea fish that Yunyanlou packed before.He put a casserole on the small stove, and when the water boiled, he put the marinated sharo fish into the pot.
The meat of the salmon is tender, and it doesn't need to be steamed for a long time. It only needs a cup of tea to be ready.Du Heng reminded Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, look after the casserole for me, you can call me after a cup of tea."
At this time, the scent of the spirit rice in the pot has already wafted out, Du Heng sniffed the smell: "You can make pickled fish."
The bottom oil was left in the pan where the fish skin had just been fried. After the pan was hot, Du Heng added shredded ginger and scallions. He also took out a little secret weapon—soaked chili peppers.These peppers are yellow and white when they are picked, and they turn yellow after being soaked.
But when the pickled peppers were thrown into the pot, a choking hot and sour wafted out.
Jing Nan suddenly gave up: "If one day I burp, it must be because of your cooperation."
Feng Gui chewed the fish skin and walked to Xuan Yu's side, whispering: "Well, Du Heng finally treated me well this time."
After the peppers were fragrant, Du Heng pushed the sauerkraut into the pot and stir-fried it. After the aroma of the sauerkraut was stir-fried, he added the water that hadn't soaked the sauerkraut.Salt was added to the sauerkraut. Du Heng tasted the soup for a while, and he tasted just the right amount of saltiness in the hot and sour taste.
At this time, he pushed the one-inch-long fish steaks and fish bones into the sauerkraut, and the boiling sauerkraut pot immediately fell silent, but after only a moment of silence, the sauerkraut pot began to squeak again.
After the water in the pot boiled for a while, Du Heng could put in the fish fillets.The fish fillets cannot be poured into the pot all at once, they need to slide into the boiling soup piece by piece.
Du Heng waved his hand: "Go Pikachu!" The fish fillets were engulfed by the spiritual energy and fell into the soup one by one, like a goddess scattering flowers.
Fenggui asked Xuanyu with sweat dripping down his head: "What's the skin?" Xuanyu shook his head stupidly: "I don't know."
Du Heng said solemnly: "It's a cute creature, seeing it is like being struck by lightning."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan began to think seriously: "What is it like being struck by lightning?" However, they could only stare wide-eyed and couldn't figure it out.
The fish fillet changes color when it meets boiling water, and the slightly transparent fish fillet turns milky white.After the color changed, Du Heng used a big basin to fill up all the vegetables in the pot.He burned a spoonful of hot oil in a pan, and put garlic, madder scallions and dried chilies in the middle of the pickled fish.
He raised his hand, and the hot oil poured on the pickled fish with a prick. Du Heng said loudly: "The pickled fish is ready~~Xiaoyu is ready to eat!"
Xuanyu placed a round table in the middle of the cave, and he used talismans to light up the top of the table.The dim yellow talisman light fell on the dining table warmly, and a large bowl of sour and delicious pickled fish fillets was placed in the center of the dining table.
Fenggui and the others consciously started serving rice, Xuanyu took out the sausages from the rice cooker, sliced them into thin slices and put them on a big plate, Jing Nan brought the fried fish skin to the table.There was also the fish sashimi that I hadn't finished before, and four big dishes appeared on the table in a blink of an eye.
Du Heng was busy sprinkling minced green onion and sauce on the steamed fish, and of course, a spoonful of hot oil was indispensable.
Xu Changge and the others were shy and embarrassed to sit at the table at first, but the food tasted so delicious. When they came to their senses, everyone had a job in their hands.
Among all the dishes, only sausage and fish with pickled cabbage were new to them.The sausage is spicy, and it will be spicy after one bite, and beads of sweat will appear on the forehead.But after eating a piece, the stomach will be warm, and the flow of spiritual energy will be much smoother.
Mu Qian and Shi Jun were full of praise for the sausage: "What is this? This is so delicious!"
Jing Nan joked: "This is a unique skill that will not be passed on to the outside world. Fellow Taoists, don't pass it on after you finish eating." Du Heng said with a smile: "Everyone eats more if it's delicious. I steamed a lot."
Wen Tingzhi's eyes fell on the sauerkraut fish. The big bowl was filled with fish fillets with a warm color like jade, and the fish fillets were soaked in the golden soup, which was oily.If such fish fillets are roughly picked up with chopsticks, they will definitely become torn apart.
There is skill in eating this fish. You need to carefully place the chopsticks at an angle, and then hold the fish fillet and put it in your mouth.The fish fillet melts in the mouth, completely different from the taste of sashimi.The soft fish meat becomes softer after soaking in the soup, and it melts when you sip it.
The taste alone is amazing, not to mention the taste of fish fillets.Although the fish fillet was only soaked in the soup for a while, the hot, sour and salty taste of the soup made it impossible to stop mouthful after mouthful.Delicious fish fillets make people let go of their reserve and pride, and just want to forget all the troubles and have a big mouthful of taste.
There is still something hidden under the fish fillets, and the fish steaks and fish bones that were cooked earlier than the fish fillets are just right after being stewed.People who like to gnaw the bones can sip the meat on the fish bones and leave smooth bones.
Shaluo fish has a lot of meat, and Du Heng left a lot of meat on the fish bones and fish steaks when he sliced the fish.They taste more delicious when they are soaked in the soup. Fenggui thinks that the meat on the fish bones tastes better than the fish fillets.
But Jing Nan felt that the most essential thing in the whole plate of pickled fish was neither fish fillets nor fish bones, but pickled cabbage.He, who can't eat spicy food, extended his chopsticks to sauerkraut by accident.
The sauerkraut was cut into strips half an inch wide by Du Heng. The sauerkraut leaf soaked in the soup tasted hot and sour, and the sauerkraut stalk was crispy, and you could hear a crackling sound after chewing.
Jing Nan ate the spicy sauerkraut with tears in his eyes, his mouth and nose turned red: "It's too boring, too much." Such delicious sauerkraut, why is it so spicy?But he also knew that the non-spicy sauerkraut would lack the taste, just like the small noodles he ate before.
Feng Gui handed Jing Nan a glass of water: "Eat slowly, no one will grab you, look at how messed up you are." Jing Nan's eyes turned red: "Shut up, don't think that I will be with you from now on. It’s impossible to eat the same spicy food.”
Du Heng was not much better, he took a mouthful of sauerkraut and steamed fish while eating rice, and sniffed his nose from time to time.Sauerkraut is delicious, but really...too spicy!It is sour and spicy, but it also has a magical power that makes people unable to stop their chopsticks.
The human cultivators couldn't stop eating, only Xu Changge stared at Xiaoxiao with deep eyes.Smiling and squatting generously on the exclusive chair, he couldn't stop eating while holding the bowl.Xu Changge looked at him now, smiled and ate three bowls of rice.
It may be that Xu Changge's gaze was too straightforward, and he raised his head suspiciously with a smile: "Jiujiu?"
Xu Changge miraculously understood what Xiaoxiao meant, and Xiaoxiao asked him, why are you staring at me without eating?
Xu Changge actually felt that he was seen through by a spiritual pet!He moved his eyes away in embarrassment: "Your Daoist friend seems to have a special preference for this spiritual pet of yours."
Only Xiaoxiao can squat on the stove to eat, and only he can swagger and sit among everyone.He also has his own small bowl, and will ask Du Heng to help refill the meal after eating.
Looking at the other spiritual pets on the ground next to them, they don't have this treatment at all.
Du Heng rubbed Xiaoxiao's head: "Yes, Xiaoxiao is our family pet. He is different from other spiritual pets."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan looked at each other, it seemed that Xu Changge had a good eye.

The steamed salmon is also very good, tender and delicious.It's just that there is pickled cabbage and fish pearls in front, so everyone ignores it.Only Du Heng and Jing Nan ate more, and the others moved their chopsticks politely.The other dishes are almost eaten, especially the pickled fish, even the soup has been scooped up to make rice.
But it's okay, if you can't finish this meal and put it in the refrigerator, the next meal will still taste good, so Du Heng won't waste such good ingredients.
There are still two hours between after dinner and midnight, during which everyone can move freely in the cave.
When Liu Lingling and the others thought that they were going to go into the water and face the snake dragon, their emotions became tense.This is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be sloppy, so they closed their eyes and rested their minds non-stop after eating.The spiritual energy wrapped around them is brighter than the talismans above their heads, and they look like five light bulbs.
Du Heng was practicing with his wooden barrel. After this period of practice, the bamboo in the wooden barrel grew a new bamboo.The new bamboo is thicker and taller than the old bamboo, but it is far from the level of the Pei bamboo behind Jingnan's house.The two thin bamboos looked like potted plants in the wooden barrel. Those who didn't know it thought Du Heng was holding the wooden barrel in a daze.
Compared to Du Heng and the others, Jing Nan and the others were calm and relaxed, they didn't even care about going into the water to deal with the snake dragon.Jing Nan and Feng Gui are playing chess, squatting on the edge of the chessboard and dozing off with a smile.
Before midnight, Xuanyu patted Du Heng's shoulder lightly: "Du Heng, it's almost time. Let them go into the spirit beast bag." Du Heng shook out the spirit beast bag: "Come on, year Years old wonton rice cake, come in."
The wontons were brought into the spirit animal bag every year, and the glutinous rice cakes were stuffed in by Du Heng.Since eating a pill of Peiyuan during the day, Ciba has been sleeping.Jing Nan said that it was absorbing the medicinal properties of Peiyuan Pill, and Du Heng was relieved.
Xiaoxiao didn't want to go into the spirit beast bag, he wanted to dive into the water with everyone to see the snake dragon.Fenggui also agreed to let Xiaoxiao open his eyes, and he also said that he looked at Xiaoxiao after entering the water.
Du Heng had no choice but to tighten the girdle of the spirit beast bag. He took off his coat and tied the spirit beast bag tightly around his waist.After confirming that the rope was firmly tied, he put on the clothes.If it was casually hung on the waist like Liu Lingling and the others, Du Heng was afraid that the spirit animal bag would fly out when encountering aura fluctuations.
Seeing Du Heng's actions, Wen Tingzhi and the others were extremely impressed.The cultivators in the cultivation world who keep spiritual pets hope that the spiritual pets can help them block knives at critical moments, so the spiritual beast bags will be tied to the most convenient place to shoot.In order to make it easier for spirit beasts to freely enter and exit the spirit animal bag, many monks don't even know how to tie the girdle.
Du Heng's first thought was the safety of his spiritual pet, and his own safety second.They felt that if it wasn't for his limited cultivation, Du Heng would have wanted to stuff the spirit beast bag into his dantian consciousness sea.
Feng Gui hugged Xiaoxiao in his hands, and with a smile and a chirp, he urged everyone to get ready to go: "Jiujiu."
Xuan Yu took the lead: "I will go first, Xifeng and Xiaoxiao will go second, and Nan Jing will go last."
Hearing this, Feng Gui handed Jing Nan a smile: "I'll be the last one, Lao Nan is not in good health. I'll finish it."
Jing Nan chuckled: "You look down on me too much, don't you? Who is better in the water, you or me?"
However, Fenggui handed Xiaoxiao to Jingnan forcefully and naturally: "Please."
Jing Nan took it with a smile: "Okay, you have to be careful when you walk behind, don't get lost."
Feng Gui stroked her long hair coolly: "Who do you think I am?"
Du Heng was the third one to walk, and when he left the cave, a drop of rain fell on his head.Du Heng looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was covered with overcast clouds, and it was actually raining!Looking at the pitch-black water surface, the whirlpool on the water surface has calmed down, but the turbulent water is beating loudly, which makes people panic inexplicably.
Smiling in the dark is like a small light bulb, he is on Jing Nan's shoulder to cheer up Du Heng: "Jiujiu!"
Jing Nan patted Xiaoxiao's buttocks: "Be honest, I told you that you are not allowed to move after entering the water, or the snake will eat you."
Xiaoxiao shrinks her neck: "Chirp..."
Xuan Yu stood at the front, he turned his head and said to the people behind him: "I'm going to go into the water, when you get into the water, there will be a spiritual rope around your waist, don't panic when you see the rope, I tied it. There is this rope , everyone will not get lost. Once in the water, everyone try to hold the aura as much as possible."
Xuan Yu jumped into the water after saying this, followed by Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao.The two figures soon disappeared on the water, Du Heng took a deep breath, and jumped into the water.The moment he entered the water, a light blue barrier formed around his body.
The barrier separated the water flow, and Du Heng did not feel the pressure of the water flow.Xuanyu's breath enveloped him, and he heard Xuanyu's voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The surrounding area was pitch black, and the water flow carried a large amount of sand and washed away the barrier. The world outside the barrier was very blurry, and Jing Nan could only see the blurred figure when he released his consciousness.
A blue aura rope appeared around Du Heng's waist, and a huge drag force came from the rope, pulling him to swim to an unknown place.He couldn't help holding onto the rope, and Xuanyu's voice came from the rope: Don't be afraid, sink down. "
Only then did Du Heng feel that he was sinking.Strange to say, in Du Heng's understanding, the river bed is generally a structure with a deep middle and shallow sides, but it took him a long time to touch the bottom of the river bed.Du Heng felt that he had fallen by at least ten feet!He should have panicked, but the rope around his waist and Xuanyu's voice gave him strength.
After he stood still, he realized that Jing Nan and Xuan Yu were standing in front of him.Jing Nan frowned: "I just bet with Xiaoyu whether you will cry in fright, but I didn't expect you to be quite courageous."
Du Heng rolled his eyes, he wasn't sure if Jing Nan saw it: "Am I such a timid person?"
After a while, the human cultivators also fell down, Xuanyu counted the number of people, and his voice came from the rope: "Wait, everyone follow me, if you encounter a snake dragon returning to its nest, don't disturb it."
Xu Changge and the others held the natal magic weapon tightly. They dived into the water like this last time, and the surroundings were so dark at that time.They couldn't detect the distance of five feet ahead even with the release of their spiritual consciousness, and the undercurrents along the way made them unable to stand still.Last time they escaped after a narrow escape, and now they are standing here again, it is impossible not to be nervous.
After Xuan Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the ropes around everyone's waists began to tighten one by one.With the help of Xuanyu this time, everyone walked steadily under the water.
Du Heng discovered that when undercurrents appear, the sand and gravel in the water will increase, and the pulling force of the rope will increase.But after walking for a while, the bottom of the water will be quiet.
Du Heng heard Shi Jun's voice: "Yu Xuandao is friendly with water, and he led everyone to avoid the undercurrent!"
It is not easy for one person to avoid undercurrents, and leading a group of people to avoid undercurrents can no longer be summed up in three words: good water quality.
After the bottom of the water calms down, the spiritual consciousness can see clearly.Everyone saw all kinds of strange things sinking in the mud at the bottom of the water, including animal bones washed white by the flowing water, huge river mussels as tall as a man, strange-shaped fish nesting in the mud and spitting mud at each other, and some pits and hollows on the bottom of the water. I do not know how to form the gully.
The monk's spiritual sense is very useful, even if the spiritual sense is blocked at the bottom of the water, he can still see the surrounding scenery within ten feet when there is no obstruction from the undercurrent.
Du Heng looked up to the top of his head, he had never seen such a scene, the top of his head was a deep and light black.In this way, some people may laugh at him, black is black, how can there be shades of black?All colors will be swallowed by darkness!
But no, he sees black in a different color.For example, there is a long strip of gray-black passing quickly above his head, which is an undercurrent.If he is caught by the undercurrent, he will be swept to a place he doesn't know at all.
Another example is the long dark black fish swimming leisurely above the head. This is a big fish, twice as big as him!
After all the black, there is a slightly duller taupe, receding from the surface of the water.Du Heng's consciousness was infinitely magnified, and he felt that he could see the raindrops splashing tiny ripples on the water surface, and then the ripples were broken up by the more turbulent water flow.Even when he was crossing the catastrophe, the catastrophe cloud above his head could not show such rich colors.
Obviously he was in the flow, but he felt as if he was still.He heard his own breathing and heartbeat, and he was so out of place in the freezing water.
He felt where he had felt this feeling, as if a long, long time ago, he stayed quietly in the darkness, and it was the same at that time, the surroundings were moving, but he was still.It's cold around, he's hot...
Xuanyu's voice came: "The front is in the ditch where the snake dragon lives. We need to cross the ditch to get to the other side. Everyone follow me, don't act rashly." Xuanyu's voice flowed along the water, making people People feel inexplicably at ease.
The human cultivators who followed Xuanyu here were also a little relieved. Although their hands were still holding the natal magic weapon, they were much more relaxed than at the beginning.
Xuanyu walked down a relatively gentle ravine, and as soon as he entered the ravine, everyone was stunned by the densely packed bones at the bottom of the ravine.These skeletons include beasts, fish, and humans. Half of the dark white bones are buried in the mud, and the other half protrude from the water.Maybe the water flowed slowly in the gully, and flowers even grew on the surface of some skeletons.
It is a small black shellfish, only the size of a fingernail. It sticks to the bone and will stretch out tentacles to look for food.Their tentacles are like trumpets, and when you look around, black trumpet flowers bloom on the ancient bones, making people's hairs stand on end.
The monks nimbly tapped their toes on the mud, because of the obstruction of the water flow, they couldn't rush out more than ten feet like they were on the shore.Their current speed is like that of people walking normally on land, but their demeanor is not so calm.
In order to avoid the undercurrent, Xuan Yu led everyone to spare a little way.With such a detour, the distance traveled far exceeds a hundred feet.Naturally, it took a lot more time than expected.
Xuanyu's voice came: "It's back, everyone don't move."
As soon as the words fell, the fish shoals in the sky above the ravine ran away like crazy, and in an instant a huge black shadow arrived in front of the ravine where Xuanyu and the others were!
It was a ferocious snake dragon, it had a snake's head, but behind the head were two membranes with bone spurs.The diameter of a head alone is four feet long, and its body is really hundreds of feet long when it is extended!It held a monster in its mouth, the monster was already dead, and the bright red blood spread out along the swimming of the snake dragon.
The snake dragon swam to the front of the crowd, and then slowly sank, its head was just in front of the gully where the crowd was going to advance.When the snake dragon fell, it rolled up the mud at the bottom of the water, and the mud mixed with tiny bones hit the barrier in front of everyone.
At this moment, Du Heng's blood was like river water, it was so cold that it almost froze.
The skin of the sand Luo fish is a bit thick, and when it is cleaned, the outer skin is rough and the inner is smooth. Du Heng cut the silver-gray fish skin into palm-sized pieces and put them in a wooden basin, pouring white wine, green onion and ginger water to marinate.After two cups of tea, Du Heng fished out the fish skin and prepared to wrap it in starch and put it in the oil pan.
Du Heng felt rather uneasy. He added starch to the fish skin and said with a smile: "I'll deep-fry a slice first, and you can taste it for me first. If it tastes good, I'll continue to fry it, okay?"
Du Heng also added prickly ash and five-spice powder to the starch. He thought that the fish skin would be more fishy, and the stronger seasoning might taste better.
After the oil was hot, Du Heng threw a piece of fish skin into the pot first.The fish skin curled slightly after being fried, but it didn't have the fishy smell as expected, it just smelled like fried shrimp and crab.
Smiling and squatting on the stove to miss Jiujiu, Xuanyu translated: "Smiling and saying, he misses your braised prawns and fried small crabs."
Du Heng rubbed his head with a smile: "There are still prawns and small crabs in the refrigerator. I'll fry them for you after we cross the river, okay? Put them in your pocket and eat slowly."
Liu Lingling said curiously: "You Daoist Du, this little spirit pet is like a child, so cute." Du Heng smiled and said, "Isn't that right? In our eyes, these are all furry children."
The fish skin is quickly fried until golden on both sides, and the silver-gray fish skin is wrapped in the yellowish batter.Du Heng scooped up the fish skin and put it on a plate, the curly fish skin was still creaking.
After the fish skin cooled down a little, Du Heng asked with a smile: "Do I need to fry it again? It will be more crispy."
Feng Gui stretched out a paw and pinched the fish skin away: "No need, I think this is not bad."
Smile:! ! !
Feng Gui chewed the fish skin, and said to the point: "The taste is not bad, it just smells like fried fish skin, if it is more spicy, it will be more perfect... um..."
Before Fenggui could finish speaking, Xiaoxiao had already raised his head and hit Fenggui's belly, Fenggui's figure was knocked back by Xiaoxiao so that he took two steps back.
Xiaoxiao, who succeeded, immediately wiped away tears and threw herself into Du Heng's arms to complain about his uncle's behavior: "Jiujiujiu..." He doesn't want such an uncle anymore, shameless!Extremely shameless!Extremely... extremely shameless!
Feng Gui rubbed his belly and said resentfully: "Eating a piece of your fish skin, you are so stingy. It's a waste of my usual kindness to you. Hey... What's the use of raising birds, it's better to raise a dog."
After hearing what Feng Gui said, Little Wonton immediately stood up and shrank into a corner, hoping that the flames of war would not burn on it.There was a lot of noise in the cave, and Renxiu seemed to be watching a play. Wen Tingzhi said amusedly, "I don't know why, but seeing Fellow Daoist Du and his party made me feel relaxed."
Xu Changge said: "They don't feel like casual cultivators who are exhausted, but like a family traveling in mountains and rivers." I have to say that Xu Changge's intuition is very keen. After he said this, human cultivators will look at Du Heng again. A group of people feel that they are leisurely and leisurely.
Jing Nan said with a smile: "The casual cultivators are not protected like the disciples of the Great Sect. People like us are precarious. Maybe they will disappear when they encounter some disaster. Rather than worrying about it all day long, it is better to enjoy it freely." every day."
Mu Qian cupped his hands in admiration: "What Fellow Daoist Nanjing said is very true."
The two uncles and nephews who fought over a piece of fish skin quickly reconciled, because Du Heng fried more fish skin next.This time he fried it again, and the fish skin tasted even more crispy.
The fish skin with five-spice powder and pepper noodles is spicy and crispy.It's great for drinking or as a snack, but the skin side of the fish is rough and absorbs too much oil, and it will feel fatty after eating a few more slices.

After the fish skin is ready, Du Heng will start steaming the fish. He is already familiar with steaming fish.He steamed many of the sea fish that Yunyanlou packed before.He put a casserole on the small stove, and when the water boiled, he put the marinated sharo fish into the pot.
The meat of the salmon is tender, and it doesn't need to be steamed for a long time. It only needs a cup of tea to be ready.Du Heng reminded Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, look after the casserole for me, you can call me after a cup of tea."
At this time, the scent of the spirit rice in the pot has already wafted out, Du Heng sniffed the smell: "You can make pickled fish."
The bottom oil was left in the pan where the fish skin had just been fried. After the pan was hot, Du Heng added shredded ginger and scallions. He also took out a little secret weapon—soaked chili peppers.These peppers are yellow and white when they are picked, and they turn yellow after being soaked.
But when the pickled peppers were thrown into the pot, a choking hot and sour wafted out.
Jing Nan suddenly gave up: "If one day I burp, it must be because of your cooperation."
Feng Gui chewed the fish skin and walked to Xuan Yu's side, whispering: "Well, Du Heng finally treated me well this time."
After the peppers were fragrant, Du Heng pushed the sauerkraut into the pot and stir-fried it. After the aroma of the sauerkraut was stir-fried, he added the water that hadn't soaked the sauerkraut.Salt was added to the sauerkraut. Du Heng tasted the soup for a while, and he tasted just the right amount of saltiness in the hot and sour taste.

After the water in the pot boiled for a while, Du Heng could put in the fish fillets.The fish fillets cannot be poured into the pot all at once, they need to slide into the boiling soup piece by piece.
Du Heng waved his hand: "Go Pikachu!" The fish fillets were engulfed by the spiritual energy and fell into the soup one by one, like a goddess scattering flowers.
Fenggui asked Xuanyu with sweat dripping down his head: "What's the skin?" Xuanyu shook his head stupidly: "I don't know."
Du Heng said solemnly: "It's a cute creature, seeing it is like being struck by lightning."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan began to think seriously: "What is it like being struck by lightning?" However, they could only stare wide-eyed and couldn't figure it out.
The fish fillet changes color when it meets boiling water, and the slightly transparent fish fillet turns milky white.After the color changed, Du Heng used a big basin to fill up all the vegetables in the pot.He burned a spoonful of hot oil in a pan, and put garlic, madder scallions and dried chilies in the middle of the pickled fish.
He raised his hand, and the hot oil poured on the pickled fish with a prick. Du Heng said loudly: "The pickled fish is ready~~Xiaoyu is ready to eat!"
Xuanyu placed a round table in the middle of the cave, and he used talismans to light up the top of the table.The dim yellow talisman light fell on the dining table warmly, and a large bowl of sour and delicious pickled fish fillets was placed in the center of the dining table.
Fenggui and the others consciously started serving rice, Xuanyu took out the sausages from the rice cooker, sliced them into thin slices and put them on a big plate, Jing Nan brought the fried fish skin to the table.There was also the fish sashimi that I hadn't finished before, and four big dishes appeared on the table in a blink of an eye.
Du Heng was busy sprinkling minced green onion and sauce on the steamed fish, and of course, a spoonful of hot oil was indispensable.
Xu Changge and the others were shy and embarrassed to sit at the table at first, but the food tasted so delicious. When they came to their senses, everyone had a job in their hands.
Among all the dishes, only sausage and fish with pickled cabbage were new to them.The sausage is spicy, and it will be spicy after one bite, and beads of sweat will appear on the forehead.But after eating a piece, the stomach will be warm, and the flow of spiritual energy will be much smoother.
Mu Qian and Shi Jun were full of praise for the sausage: "What is this? This is so delicious!"
Jing Nan joked: "This is a unique skill that will not be passed on to the outside world. Fellow Taoists, don't pass it on after you finish eating." Du Heng said with a smile: "Everyone eats more if it's delicious. I steamed a lot."
Wen Tingzhi's eyes fell on the sauerkraut fish. The big bowl was filled with fish fillets with a warm color like jade, and the fish fillets were soaked in the golden soup, which was oily.If such fish fillets are roughly picked up with chopsticks, they will definitely become torn apart.
There is skill in eating this fish. You need to carefully place the chopsticks at an angle, and then hold the fish fillet and put it in your mouth.The fish fillet melts in the mouth, completely different from the taste of sashimi.The soft fish meat becomes softer after soaking in the soup, and it melts when you sip it.
The taste alone is amazing, not to mention the taste of fish fillets.Although the fish fillet was only soaked in the soup for a while, the hot, sour and salty taste of the soup made it impossible to stop mouthful after mouthful.Delicious fish fillets make people let go of their reserve and pride, and just want to forget all the troubles and have a big mouthful of taste.
There is still something hidden under the fish fillets, and the fish steaks and fish bones that were cooked earlier than the fish fillets are just right after being stewed.People who like to gnaw the bones can sip the meat on the fish bones and leave smooth bones.
Shaluo fish has a lot of meat, and Du Heng left a lot of meat on the fish bones and fish steaks when he sliced the fish.They taste more delicious when they are soaked in the soup. Fenggui thinks that the meat on the fish bones tastes better than the fish fillets.
But Jing Nan felt that the most essential thing in the whole plate of pickled fish was neither fish fillets nor fish bones, but pickled cabbage.He, who can't eat spicy food, extended his chopsticks to sauerkraut by accident.
The sauerkraut was cut into strips half an inch wide by Du Heng. The sauerkraut leaf soaked in the soup tasted hot and sour, and the sauerkraut stalk was crispy, and you could hear a crackling sound after chewing.
Jing Nan ate the spicy sauerkraut with tears in his eyes, his mouth and nose turned red: "It's too boring, too much." Such delicious sauerkraut, why is it so spicy?But he also knew that the non-spicy sauerkraut would lack the taste, just like the small noodles he ate before.
Feng Gui handed Jing Nan a glass of water: "Eat slowly, no one will grab you, look at how messed up you are." Jing Nan's eyes turned red: "Shut up, don't think that I will be with you from now on. It’s impossible to eat the same spicy food.”
Du Heng was not much better, he took a mouthful of sauerkraut and steamed fish while eating rice, and sniffed his nose from time to time.Sauerkraut is delicious, but really...too spicy!It is sour and spicy, but it also has a magical power that makes people unable to stop their chopsticks.
The human cultivators couldn't stop eating, only Xu Changge stared at Xiaoxiao with deep eyes.Smiling and squatting generously on the exclusive chair, he couldn't stop eating while holding the bowl.Xu Changge looked at him now, smiled and ate three bowls of rice.
It may be that Xu Changge's gaze was too straightforward, and he raised his head suspiciously with a smile: "Jiujiu?"
Xu Changge miraculously understood what Xiaoxiao meant, and Xiaoxiao asked him, why are you staring at me without eating?
Xu Changge actually felt that he was seen through by a spiritual pet!He moved his eyes away in embarrassment: "Your Daoist friend seems to have a special preference for this spiritual pet of yours."
Only Xiaoxiao can squat on the stove to eat, and only he can swagger and sit among everyone.He also has his own small bowl, and will ask Du Heng to help refill the meal after eating.
Looking at the other spiritual pets on the ground next to them, they don't have this treatment at all.
Du Heng rubbed Xiaoxiao's head: "Yes, Xiaoxiao is our family pet. He is different from other spiritual pets."
Feng Gui and Jing Nan looked at each other, it seemed that Xu Changge had a good eye.

The steamed salmon is also very good, tender and delicious.It's just that there is pickled cabbage and fish pearls in front, so everyone ignores it.Only Du Heng and Jing Nan ate more, and the others moved their chopsticks politely.The other dishes are almost eaten, especially the pickled fish, even the soup has been scooped up to make rice.
But it's okay, if you can't finish this meal and put it in the refrigerator, the next meal will still taste good, so Du Heng won't waste such good ingredients.
There are still two hours between after dinner and midnight, during which everyone can move freely in the cave.
When Liu Lingling and the others thought that they were going to go into the water and face the snake dragon, their emotions became tense.This is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be sloppy, so they closed their eyes and rested their minds non-stop after eating.The spiritual energy wrapped around them is brighter than the talismans above their heads, and they look like five light bulbs.
Du Heng was practicing with his wooden barrel. After this period of practice, the bamboo in the wooden barrel grew a new bamboo.The new bamboo is thicker and taller than the old bamboo, but it is far from the level of the Pei bamboo behind Jingnan's house.The two thin bamboos looked like potted plants in the wooden barrel. Those who didn't know it thought Du Heng was holding the wooden barrel in a daze.
Compared to Du Heng and the others, Jing Nan and the others were calm and relaxed, they didn't even care about going into the water to deal with the snake dragon.Jing Nan and Feng Gui are playing chess, squatting on the edge of the chessboard and dozing off with a smile.
Before midnight, Xuanyu patted Du Heng's shoulder lightly: "Du Heng, it's almost time. Let them go into the spirit beast bag." Du Heng shook out the spirit beast bag: "Come on, year Years old wonton rice cake, come in."
The wontons were brought into the spirit animal bag every year, and the glutinous rice cakes were stuffed in by Du Heng.Since eating a pill of Peiyuan during the day, Ciba has been sleeping.Jing Nan said that it was absorbing the medicinal properties of Peiyuan Pill, and Du Heng was relieved.
Xiaoxiao didn't want to go into the spirit beast bag, he wanted to dive into the water with everyone to see the snake dragon.Fenggui also agreed to let Xiaoxiao open his eyes, and he also said that he looked at Xiaoxiao after entering the water.
Du Heng had no choice but to tighten the girdle of the spirit beast bag. He took off his coat and tied the spirit beast bag tightly around his waist.After confirming that the rope was firmly tied, he put on the clothes.If it was casually hung on the waist like Liu Lingling and the others, Du Heng was afraid that the spirit animal bag would fly out when encountering aura fluctuations.
Seeing Du Heng's actions, Wen Tingzhi and the others were extremely impressed.The cultivators in the cultivation world who keep spiritual pets hope that the spiritual pets can help them block knives at critical moments, so the spiritual beast bags will be tied to the most convenient place to shoot.In order to make it easier for spirit beasts to freely enter and exit the spirit animal bag, many monks don't even know how to tie the girdle.
Du Heng's first thought was the safety of his spiritual pet, and his own safety second.They felt that if it wasn't for his limited cultivation, Du Heng would have wanted to stuff the spirit beast bag into his dantian consciousness sea.
Feng Gui hugged Xiaoxiao in his hands, and with a smile and a chirp, he urged everyone to get ready to go: "Jiujiu."
Xuan Yu took the lead: "I will go first, Xifeng and Xiaoxiao will go second, and Nan Jing will go last."
Hearing this, Feng Gui handed Jing Nan a smile: "I'll be the last one, Lao Nan is not in good health. I'll finish it."
Jing Nan chuckled: "You look down on me too much, don't you? Who is better in the water, you or me?"
However, Fenggui handed Xiaoxiao to Jingnan forcefully and naturally: "Please."
Jing Nan took it with a smile: "Okay, you have to be careful when you walk behind, don't get lost."
Feng Gui stroked her long hair coolly: "Who do you think I am?"
Du Heng was the third one to walk, and when he left the cave, a drop of rain fell on his head.Du Heng looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was covered with overcast clouds, and it was actually raining!Looking at the pitch-black water surface, the whirlpool on the water surface has calmed down, but the turbulent water is beating loudly, which makes people panic inexplicably.
Smiling in the dark is like a small light bulb, he is on Jing Nan's shoulder to cheer up Du Heng: "Jiujiu!"
Jing Nan patted Xiaoxiao's buttocks: "Be honest, I told you that you are not allowed to move after entering the water, or the snake will eat you."
Xiaoxiao shrinks her neck: "Chirp..."
Xuan Yu stood at the front, he turned his head and said to the people behind him: "I'm going to go into the water, when you get into the water, there will be a spiritual rope around your waist, don't panic when you see the rope, I tied it. There is this rope , everyone will not get lost. Once in the water, everyone try to hold the aura as much as possible."
Xuan Yu jumped into the water after saying this, followed by Jing Nan and Xiaoxiao.The two figures soon disappeared on the water, Du Heng took a deep breath, and jumped into the water.The moment he entered the water, a light blue barrier formed around his body.
The barrier separated the water flow, and Du Heng did not feel the pressure of the water flow.Xuanyu's breath enveloped him, and he heard Xuanyu's voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The surrounding area was pitch black, and the water flow carried a large amount of sand and washed away the barrier. The world outside the barrier was very blurry, and Jing Nan could only see the blurred figure when he released his consciousness.
A blue aura rope appeared around Du Heng's waist, and a huge drag force came from the rope, pulling him to swim to an unknown place.He couldn't help holding onto the rope, and Xuanyu's voice came from the rope: Don't be afraid, sink down. "
Only then did Du Heng feel that he was sinking.Strange to say, in Du Heng's understanding, the river bed is generally a structure with a deep middle and shallow sides, but it took him a long time to touch the bottom of the river bed.Du Heng felt that he had fallen by at least ten feet!He should have panicked, but the rope around his waist and Xuanyu's voice gave him strength.
After he stood still, he realized that Jing Nan and Xuan Yu were standing in front of him.Jing Nan frowned: "I just bet with Xiaoyu whether you will cry in fright, but I didn't expect you to be quite courageous."
Du Heng rolled his eyes, he wasn't sure if Jing Nan saw it: "Am I such a timid person?"
After a while, the human cultivators also fell down, Xuanyu counted the number of people, and his voice came from the rope: "Wait, everyone follow me, if you encounter a snake dragon returning to its nest, don't disturb it."
Xu Changge and the others held the natal magic weapon tightly. They dived into the water like this last time, and the surroundings were so dark at that time.They couldn't detect the distance of five feet ahead even with the release of their spiritual consciousness, and the undercurrents along the way made them unable to stand still.Last time they escaped after a narrow escape, and now they are standing here again, it is impossible not to be nervous.
After Xuan Yu finished speaking, he turned around and left, and the ropes around everyone's waists began to tighten one by one.With the help of Xuanyu this time, everyone walked steadily under the water.
Du Heng discovered that when undercurrents appear, the sand and gravel in the water will increase, and the pulling force of the rope will increase.But after walking for a while, the bottom of the water will be quiet.
Du Heng heard Shi Jun's voice: "Yu Xuandao is friendly with water, and he led everyone to avoid the undercurrent!"
It is not easy for one person to avoid undercurrents, and leading a group of people to avoid undercurrents can no longer be summed up in three words: good water quality.
After the bottom of the water calms down, the spiritual consciousness can see clearly.Everyone saw all kinds of strange things sinking in the mud at the bottom of the water, including animal bones washed white by the flowing water, huge river mussels as tall as a man, strange-shaped fish nesting in the mud and spitting mud at each other, and some pits and hollows on the bottom of the water. I do not know how to form the gully.
The monk's spiritual sense is very useful, even if the spiritual sense is blocked at the bottom of the water, he can still see the surrounding scenery within ten feet when there is no obstruction from the undercurrent.
Du Heng looked up to the top of his head, he had never seen such a scene, the top of his head was a deep and light black.In this way, some people may laugh at him, black is black, how can there be shades of black?All colors will be swallowed by darkness!
But no, he sees black in a different color.For example, there is a long strip of gray-black passing quickly above his head, which is an undercurrent.If he is caught by the undercurrent, he will be swept to a place he doesn't know at all.
Another example is the long dark black fish swimming leisurely above the head. This is a big fish, twice as big as him!
After all the black, there is a slightly duller taupe, receding from the surface of the water.Du Heng's consciousness was infinitely magnified, and he felt that he could see the raindrops splashing tiny ripples on the water surface, and then the ripples were broken up by the more turbulent water flow.Even when he was crossing the catastrophe, the catastrophe cloud above his head could not show such rich colors.
Obviously he was in the flow, but he felt as if he was still.He heard his own breathing and heartbeat, and he was so out of place in the freezing water.
He felt where he had felt this feeling, as if a long, long time ago, he stayed quietly in the darkness, and it was the same at that time, the surroundings were moving, but he was still.It's cold around, he's hot...
Xuanyu's voice came: "The front is in the ditch where the snake dragon lives. We need to cross the ditch to get to the other side. Everyone follow me, don't act rashly." Xuanyu's voice flowed along the water, making people People feel inexplicably at ease.
The human cultivators who followed Xuanyu here were also a little relieved. Although their hands were still holding the natal magic weapon, they were much more relaxed than at the beginning.
Xuanyu walked down a relatively gentle ravine, and as soon as he entered the ravine, everyone was stunned by the densely packed bones at the bottom of the ravine.These skeletons include beasts, fish, and humans. Half of the dark white bones are buried in the mud, and the other half protrude from the water.Maybe the water flowed slowly in the gully, and flowers even grew on the surface of some skeletons.
It is a small black shellfish, only the size of a fingernail. It sticks to the bone and will stretch out tentacles to look for food.Their tentacles are like trumpets, and when you look around, black trumpet flowers bloom on the ancient bones, making people's hairs stand on end.
The monks nimbly tapped their toes on the mud, because of the obstruction of the water flow, they couldn't rush out more than ten feet like they were on the shore.Their current speed is like that of people walking normally on land, but their demeanor is not so calm.
In order to avoid the undercurrent, Xuan Yu led everyone to spare a little way.With such a detour, the distance traveled far exceeds a hundred feet.Naturally, it took a lot more time than expected.
Xuanyu's voice came: "It's back, everyone don't move."
As soon as the words fell, the fish shoals in the sky above the ravine ran away like crazy, and in an instant a huge black shadow arrived in front of the ravine where Xuanyu and the others were!
It was a ferocious snake dragon, it had a snake's head, but behind the head were two membranes with bone spurs.The diameter of a head alone is four feet long, and its body is really hundreds of feet long when it is extended!It held a monster in its mouth, the monster was already dead, and the bright red blood spread out along the swimming of the snake dragon.
The snake dragon swam to the front of the crowd, and then slowly sank, its head was just in front of the gully where the crowd was going to advance.When the snake dragon fell, it rolled up the mud at the bottom of the water, and the mud mixed with tiny bones hit the barrier in front of everyone.
At this moment, Du Heng's blood was like river water, it was so cold that it almost froze.
