Sword Raiders II

The rest time was not long, Yaken quickly brought back the enemy generals' camp on the battlefield, and there was no suspense about the next development, all the polarized swordsmen who had practiced before Taige relaxed Pine completed this trip to preserve historical military affairs.

"The task is complete, everyone can go back first. As for Yingmaru and I, we are going to look for Lingzhi in the Wakayama area."

Honmaru and the Blades have long been used to the master's extra work of finding spiritual objects after the war, and there are no surprises for each of them. At most, they are slightly disappointed like Kinmaru. It is a pity that they were not selected to form a team.

"Acridine, lord of the main hall, why not Minghu? Minghu was born in this Kamakura era, and can also provide you with a lot of information about spiritual things... Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" The companion fox wanted to fight for the body, so Being pinched and kissed by the other party, I don't want to let it go again.

"I wish you two success." Minghu himself looked at his master and Yingmaru standing side by side and said so.

The golden pupils of the white-haired young man wearing a half-mask collided with the green pupils of Tadao Ying when he spoke, and quickly retracted.

"Excuse me." Yu Li replied with a smile, and then raised his arm, a space-time vortex was opened, "Go back and rest, we will be back soon."

So a group of people separated from the two people in the sound of farewell.

When the whirlpool door was about to dissipate, Higiri looked back at the two people who were still in the Kamakura era. The other party had already turned around and looked around as if to determine the next direction of travel, and did not notice the person who had returned to Honmaru side.

"What's the matter, brother?" Seeing this, Xiwan couldn't help asking.

At this time, the whirlpool door has been completely closed and disappeared, and Hakiri turned his head to the side and saw his brother's face that didn't notice, then shook his head: "It's nothing, I just feel that some things are really irresistible after they become inertial." Putting the cloak on his shoulders, ignoring Keimaru's more bewildered face, he walked straight to the gate, "Go back."

……

The older the era, the more undesirable it is to dress up strangely. In order to better integrate into this feudal era and not be regarded as a different kind, both Yu Li and Ying Wan honestly changed their appearance.

Don't think about hunting clothes or something that only officials and nobles can wear, just find a traditional kimono of the level of common people and wealthy businessmen, which is just right for you to wear, and it won't attract attention, and you don't have to wrong yourself too much.Yu Li's traditional women's clothing also needs to add a layer of fence on the top of the head, and a translucent soap gauze hangs around the wide-brimmed hat made of bamboo, which reaches to the ankle and directly covers the whole body.

At the beginning, Yuli thought it was very interesting to dress up, thinking that he was the princess in the Dahe drama, but he really walked a few times in this era of extreme patriarchy and inferiority, and even occasionally encountered ancient climbers across the power fence. After the apprentice's molestation, his face was completely numb.

#消通actually isn’t fun at all, especially in an era when the conditions are backward#

#especially 古穿, the lethality to the dead house living on WIFI is a fatal crit#

Fortunately, she didn't come out alone.

"Do you need me to hire an ox cart?" Bird Taidou, who was walking side by side with her, turned his head and looked over. His voice was sweet, but Yu Li always felt that it was just as teasing and smiling as his expression at this time.

"Who should we blame?" Yu Li rolled his eyes at him, "Do you want to hurry?"

This is not Osaka. It will take several days to reach the destination according to the footsteps of ordinary people.

Yingwan heard her complaining, and the smile in her eyes deepened: "It must be faster, but I can't make my lord wait too long."

After all, they are not ordinary human beings. During the day, they travel at a normal speed in order not to attract attention, and for supplies and rest. At night, they start the whole journey and fly. It took only two or three days to reach the foot of Wakayama. Entrance to the Monster Bazaar.

Erlin, this monster space, was the first time I went there thousands of years ago, so this feeling is quite strange and subtle.

"There are really many shops that I haven't seen before." Standing at the intersection in the center, Yu Li subconsciously exclaimed as he looked around.

The trading area, the food street, the hotel street and the flower building area, the division of these four major areas is not as clear as it was after the millennium, but it has also begun to take shape. The major functional areas have formed their own scales, but the shops inside and the millennium Afterwards, the difference became very big. Yu Li just took a preliminary look around, and was pleasantly surprised to find one or two familiar faces.

"Let's go, let's go to the hotel area." Looking around in amazement, Yuli's hand was grabbed, and Yingmaru took her to the chosen street.

"Huh, the hotel area?" Yu Li was dragged forward a few steps in a daze, "Isn't it a food street or a commercial area?"

"It's a specialty of a hotel, and it's also a signature tea drink." Yingmaru replied, then stopped and looked back at her as if thinking of something, "Or do you want to go to the market street for a stroll before this?"

This proposal is very tempting, at least Yu Li's shopping DNA has really moved, and the idea of ​​finding some good treasures is in his mind in seconds.

But a second later, she shook her head resolutely: "Go to the hotel first!" She remembered clearly what she was here for, and if she really wanted to go shopping, don't do anything today.

A smile flashed across Yingwan's face when he heard this: "Then let's go."

The variety of monsters before the millennium is obviously more abundant than that after the millennium. Yuli has seen many monsters big and small that she has never seen before walking on the hotel street. She did not hide her surprise at all by wearing a fence Curious look.

Soon, they stopped in front of a hotel.

"The scale is not small." Yu Li looked at this big hotel with six or seven floors, quite surprised, "I haven't seen this hotel in a thousand years."

No matter what she could remember about such a big hotel, it was obvious that someday in the thousand years the hotel closed down.

"The owner of this hotel is a demon plant, and he is a bit picky about the growth environment." Yingwan replied at this time, it was a bit over, but Yu Li had already understood it, and couldn't help feeling sorry.

"Ah, it turned out to be Master Yingmaru!" As soon as he walked in, the lady proprietress who happened to be behind the counter accounted for her, and said in a very enthusiastic tone, "The last time you came to our store was 100 years ago, and I still miss you When will you come again, in the end you really came again!"

It's really enthusiastic, the kind that quickly put down the things in your hands, bypassed the counter and ran out to greet you at the entrance.

However, Yu Li was taken aback by the welcome words of the proprietress whose hair was all made of vines: "100 years ago? Madam proprietress, do you still remember?" Looking at the scale of this hotel, the passenger flow is not so low, right? ?

The proprietress of the vine demon directly covered her mouth and smiled: "You misunderstood. The reason why I remember Master Yingmaru is because he has lived in this shop for almost three years, and he also bought all the goods in the market, including the small shop. I bought and drank all the tea, and I was generous and generous. It was a sensation at the time. By the way, the room you used to live in is still empty now, or is it still the same?"

#Co-author Is this how you prodigal with the large amount of public money I gave you? #

Yu Li couldn't help but stare back at Yingwan next to him with the above eyes, completely unaware that the proprietress landed lightly on the hand of a certain tea-drinking old blade who was still holding her, and the rattan demon showed his eyes for a second. Understand the smile.

Yingwan, who was stared at by Yu Li, didn't change his face, and the thousand-year-old knife calmly raised his hand: "That's the one, and then I will trouble your store to send all those signature teas."

That "some" signature tea?Are there several?

Yu Li's attention was shifted here in an instant, and when he wanted to ask a question, the proprietress had already responded loudly: "Okay, Master Yingwan, and Your Highness, I will prepare it for the two of you right away!"

After she finished speaking, she summoned a waitress, who led the way with the key and took them to the upstairs room, while the proprietress herself ran towards the back kitchen—Yu Li was still very keen in this regard, at least It is not difficult to judge the location of the back kitchen of the hotel.

Without a chance to speak, she could only follow the waitress upstairs with Yingmaru.

Perhaps because of the different attributes of the proprietress, the decoration style of this hotel is completely different from the dog-eared proprietress she went to a thousand years later. Both vision and smell are comfortable natural styles, and even the steps under the feet are dry and soft grass carpets.

The environment is awesome, it would be great if it can be popularized in this world.

Thinking of his own Xinggong Castle, Yu Li thought about it, but soon gave up because of his scruples about history.

I, who have never met a man with a sword, should be very taboo about these supernatural phenomena and creatures, let alone the introduction of "related technologies".

"Two guests, we're here." The voice of the waitress in front brought her back to her senses, Yu Li raised her head, and saw that the other party had opened the door of the room and stepped aside, revealing everything in the room.

"Oh--"

This is the luxurious presidential suite!

The VIP room at the Dog Ear Hot Spring Hotel after a thousand years is already great, but it is far inferior to this one.

Not only is the layout and area of ​​this room equal to three others, but there are all kinds of functional areas. The furniture and furnishings inside are all noble and exquisite, completely in the royal style of the Heian period, and because the inside is properly decorated with all kinds of exotic flowers. Different trees, walking into it is like stepping into a plant greenhouse.

Yu Li was the first to go in, and stopped under a nearly two-meter-long orange tree in the corner of the living room. He reached out and picked one from the crown full of golden fruits: "It's true, and the quality is quite high!" Completely It's the level of vegetables and fruits on her farm.

"My proprietress is a thousand-year-old vine tree monster. This level is nothing." The waitress said modestly with a smile on her face, but her tone was completely different. "Not only orange trees, but also Apples and cherries. If you feel comfortable staying, next time you come, there will be Sakura Room and Hundred Flowers Room for you to choose from. But right now, there are already other guests staying.”

"Is it so interesting?" Yu Li was really interested, "Next time you have time, you must come and experience it."

After briefly introducing the various functions in the room, the waitress quickly bowed and left, leaving Yuli to explore here, and by the way, harvested two big bright red apples, a plate of blood ruby-colored big cherries, and blueberries and strawberries Several of these berries.

"Yingmaru, this place is really a treasure! There are so many top-quality fruits!"

"Isn't this flower a recognized long-extinct species? It grows really well!"

In the process of visiting and exploring, I almost heard Yu Li yelling in various ways, like a bumpkin who has never seen the world-although as a human being, it is true in the world of monsters.

This kind of hotel marketing is very common for Yuli to use unique food features to attract guests. A hotel or temple with a good chef can really attract a lot of customer traffic.But for Yu Li, a human being, the current environment and characteristics are enough to pay for the stay even if there is no signature tea.

"Eat less." Ying Wan's persuasion came from not far away, "I'm full of fruit, and I won't be able to drink tea for a while."

Yu Li, who took off the fence a long time ago, is holding a bunch of fruits in his arms, holding a bunch of cherries to his mouth: "..."

He hurriedly put the pile in his arms on the table in the living room, a certain lord straightened his clothes, coughed and said with a serious expression: "This is the first time I see such a guest room, I lost my composure."

It's too late to pretend now.

The living room of this suite is very large, with a huge screen partition in the middle, a reception table and futons in the front, flowers and orange trees dotted near the door, and a tea room in the back.

Two rows of green bamboo were planted beside the two walls, and in the middle was a large tea table made of a whole log. Yingmaru sat behind the futon of the tea table and watched her come over.

The embarrassment on Yu Li's face did not disappear, and when he walked into the tea room area, he couldn't help but look back, and saw that the partition screen was another world.

"Landscape? It's a sea of ​​pine forests when you enter the door."

This is an embroidered screen, the front is a vast sea of ​​pine forests, but the back is actually a mountain stream, and the more you look closely, you will feel that the stream is flowing, and you can even faintly hear the sound of the stream.

Yu Li didn't dare to look at it for a moment, but felt it was amazing.

"It's just a trick of sorcery, it can only be used for decoration." Ying Wan said casually, "If you want to see the real thing in this embroidery, you can go to the trading area to find it. It is a real thing that can flow out continuously. hills of streams."

"Shouldn't it be cheap?" Sitting down on the futon beside him, Yu Li asked subconsciously, "And it's impossible to have a steady stream of water all the time." People who have received scientific education know that the water resources on the earth are never inexhaustible .

"It's not cheap, but it's not so expensive." Grandpa also answered the question in time, "You need to replenish spiritual power, demon power or divine power regularly to use it all the time."

Yu Li nodded, gaining insight.

Just about to chat for a few more words, there was a light knock on the door: "Master Yingmaru, the refreshments you want are ready." It was the voice of the proprietress.

After getting permission to come in, the door was completely opened, and through the translucent screen, Yu Li saw the proprietress leading several waitresses into the arena, each holding a tray in their hands.She didn't smell the tea, but the smell of dim sum came over.

There are five trays in total, three of which contain tea leaves and a complete set of tea sets, one tray contains snacks for tea, and the last one holds a tea stove with charcoal fire.

When all these were put on the table, half of the huge tea table that was thought to be spacious and empty before was directly covered.

"Originally, I usually make these teas for the guests, but if it is Master Yingmaru, I should not make me ugly, maybe I have ruined the good tea." The proprietress covered her mouth and laughed When she got up, she didn't stay any longer, and after a few words of politeness, she said goodbye to the staff and left the room. Before leaving, she glanced at Yu Li, "Your Highness Yu Li, these three sets of tea are our shop's signatures, especially the last one. Be sure to share it with Umaru-sama."

While talking, Teng Yaoniang raised her hand to caress the small water stove on the table, the exquisite copper pot immediately boiled water, a large amount of water vapor gushed out from the spout, and in just a few blinks, the whole tea room was filled with a faint mist , adding a bit of ethereal air to the already romantic space.

In the mist, the proprietress and her waitresses had already disappeared, and with the soft sound of the shoji door closing in front, only she and Yingmaru were left in the room.

"Speaking of which, the proprietress has always called me "Your Highness", could it be that..."

"Well, after all, you are also a thousand-year-old monster, and you have a wide range of knowledge in life. It is not surprising to recognize your identity as the god of death." Yingwan brought a set of tea utensils and started to make tea. "Every monster has its own. You have unique skills, so you should be able to call it that because it shows your captain-level strength."

"It's amazing." Yu Li exclaimed, only then did he have the time to carefully observe the things on the table.

There should be three kinds of signature tea, and the shapes of the containers for the three kinds of tea are also different in details, such as the handle at the tip of the box lid is in the shape of a leaf, and the other is in the shape of a flower and a human.

Now the tea that Yingwan brews is taken in a leaf-shaped tea box. After opening, it is the tea leaves, but the color is like gold. If Yuli hadn’t seen these golden tea leaves softened by the water in the copper pot, the air would be full of unusually fresh tea. Incense, I almost thought it was really made of pure gold.

Making tea is easy for Yingmaru. When this old knife has nothing to do, he just fiddles with this hobby, so his movements are very graceful and smooth, especially now that he is still wearing a traditional kimono. It is very pleasing to watch.

——If only she could do other housework so beautifully.

This sentence suddenly flashed in Yu Li's mind while enjoying the tea ceremony, and she couldn't help laughing after recovering.

"Thinking of what makes you so funny?" In the gap, Yingwan raised her eyes and glanced at her.

Yu Li covered her mouth and only shook her head, she shouldn't spoil such an elegant tea ceremony atmosphere.

Seeing her like this, Ying Wan didn't ask too much, and concentrated on the tea ceremony in her hands. Tai Dao's white fingers reflected the dark blue porcelain knuckles clearly very attractive, and the complicated tea utensils were quickly poured out of the final product under the control of these hands.

A pot of golden spiritual tea.

"Please use." He poured her a glass and handed it over, "Try it."

Yu Li thanked him and took it, put it on his lips and took a tentative sip.

"It's delicious!" Her eyes lit up. "It's a bit bitter like tea at the beginning, but it returns to sweetness very quickly, and the aroma that remains in your mouth is very strong."

Then he took another sip, and the taste level of the tea changed again, and Yu Li was very surprised by the layers of taste, until he drank the whole cup of tea.

"This is much higher quality than the spirit tea I brought back last time, it's too good!"

Hearing her unrestrained praise, Yingwan was not surprised at all. Later, when she complained, "You didn't bring back such a good thing, Yingwan", she responded unhurriedly: "I can't bring it back. , This is the signature tea of ​​this rattan hall, a kind of golden tea that the proprietress uses the spiritual power of this space to personally cultivate, and when you leave the monster space, you will lose all your spiritual energy, so you can only drink it here."

Damn it, it's a regional monopoly!

When Yu Li was not reconciled, Yingwan had already pushed the leaf-shaped tea set aside, and brought out the flower-shaped tea set. When the lid was lifted, there were small snow-colored balls of dried flower tea.

"It's easy to brew. It's ready to drink after pouring into hot soup and simmering for a while." The flower-shaped tea set is a transparent glass cup.

"You can't take it out?" Yu Li, who saw the good ingredients but couldn't take them, asked this question.

Yingwan looked at her sideways: "Can't you replicate the taste of these tea soups?"

"Hehe, although I know that you are provoking me on purpose, I just accept your provocation." A cross vein appeared on the forehead of the professional female chef who was questioned, "Isn't it just to find other ways to reproduce the same taste? I can still do this.”

"That's good." Taidao turned back and continued to look at the teacup in front of him, "If you can remember all these flavors, our trip will be considered a success."

Yu Li's originally lost mood suddenly stopped, she blinked her eyes and looked down at the teacup in front of her, the dried flower clusters that were curled up before have now stretched out their petals in the water, and small pocket flowers similar to snow lotus are in the cup When they are in full bloom, the clear hot soup presents a light turquoise color, making these small flowers more delicate and lovely.

"That's true." She looked at these little flowers and smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you can take it away, what matters is the purpose of this time." Finding the missing link in her new cuisine is the most important thing.

After the temperature dropped a bit, Yu Li picked it up and tried to take a sip.

This is a flower tea with the same level of taste and appearance, with a slight sweetness, which is more liked by Yuli than gold tea.

This made her look forward to the third teapot which was a tea box in the shape of a small human being. The proprietress had recommended it beforehand, which made Yu Li look at Yingwan with a better eye and started the tedious work of making tea again.

The shape of this box of tea is not as eye-catching as the previous two. It looks like a very ordinary dark green tea, but the leaf shape is very slender, and the leaf tip is forked. It really looks like a "herringbone". After they are brewed, an extraordinarily strong aroma instantly covers the aroma of the first two teas.

"What a domineering aroma!" Yu Li was surprised, "What kind of spiritual tea is this?"

"The young buds on the thousand-year-old demon vine." Yingwan answered her words, and pushed the brewed tea to Yuli's table again, "Let's try this again."

I don’t know if it’s because Ying Wan saw that although she likes the first two teas, she didn’t respond well to the new dishes because she didn’t know much about them. Yu Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed: “Thank you, actually, I can taste The trip to such a good tea is not in vain.”

Yingwan didn't speak, but silently urged her to drink quickly.

#It seems that what she said just now had the opposite effect#

Yu Li, who always felt that he had aroused the old tea-drinking tea-drinker at home, did not dare to persuade him any more, and honestly took the emerald green tea in front of him and brought it to his lips.

"Hmm!" This time, Yu Li was amazed, staring at the tea in his hand with wide eyes, "This spiritual tea...!"

"Very good?" Ying Wan completed her thoughts for her.

Yu Li could only nod wildly: "This is definitely the best tea I've ever had!" Because it was so delicious, she couldn't help drinking several more sips.

There was a slight smile on Ying Wan's face, but soon he saw that the other party's acting skills became more and more exaggerated after fading the initial surprise.

"This is not okay?" He asked directly.

Yu Li's movement of holding the cup suddenly froze: "Yes, it's not without it, really! It did give me a little inspiration, but the taste is still a little bit off... Anyway, this trip is really not in vain!"

Since Yingwan, who has tasted countless teas, only recommends the three signs here, it proves that he thinks that only the tea here can help his cooking, and the rest does not need to be considered, so Yuli will not use any more. We will go to other places Going around and looking for words to comfort him, this is too fake and it is a question of his ability, it is better to say this.

And what she said was sincere. Although the last kind of herringbone tea always felt that something was missing, it also gave her a little inspiration, and she was satisfied with what she had seen and heard in the hotel.

"Actually, there is another way to drink this kind of tea. It is said that the taste is better, and the proprietress even said that is the correct way to drink it." Taidao gently interrupted the owner's comfort, and looked up at her, "Would you like to try it?"

"Is there another way to drink it? It tastes even better?" Yu Li was taken aback for a moment, then leaned over excitedly and handed over an empty glass, "Why didn't you say it earlier, and have another glass!"

Yingmaru didn't refill Yuli's cup, but picked up the teacup and drank it herself.Yu Li immediately frowned, is this old knife trying to trick her again?

Just when he wanted to reach out and shake his shoulder in displeasure to persuade him to be kind and stop being so tempting, the other party suddenly leaned over.

The two of them were sitting side by side and very close. The green-haired Taidao just stretched out his arms, and the defenseless girl was already wrapped in her arms. The lips are already covered.

The warm tea was passed through the shallow gap.

"Ying... huh!?"

The tea room is peaceful and silent, and the curling water vapor is transpiring from the spout, releasing a hazy mist, covering the green bamboos on both sides, making everything blurry.

There was not much tea in a sip, so the two figures that were overlapping before quickly separated, or one side quickly opened the distance to the side as if fleeing.

"How could this be? How could such a thing happen?" Yu Li covered her mouth with a red face, her eyes were full of shock.

It seemed that she cared more about other things than being kissed suddenly, and even more than half of her attention was only on this.

"The young bud green tea from the thousand-year-old Heshu demon vine, which can be tasted by the population, can enjoy the blissful tea drink. It is the signboard of this hotel that will not change when it opens." Yingwan, who was pushed away, still sat in place, even He gave an explanation without changing his expression, "My lord is the No. 1 "He Tang" in this world, so I should understand the specific truth better than I do. "

Yu Li was suddenly speechless.Yes, she understands, and she is so shocked just because she understands her!Why are there such, such... ingredients in this world!

"It looks like it was successful this time?" Yingwan's next sentence made Yu Li's confused head buzz again.

Yes, he hit the mark.

Otherwise, she would have pushed him away when Tai Dao just posted it before, but when the sip of tea he spent came to her, Yu Li's brain froze.This is the level of tea, the three kinds of high-end spiritual tea that surprised her before are all insignificant in the face of this taste, shocked by the taste of this soup, Yuli can't think of pushing it The matter of Kai Ying Maru.

Until now when she regained her senses, Yu Li finally thought about what the proprietress said "share with Yingwan" when she left.

It turned out to be such a sharing method!

And, what's more, she only tasted one sip just now, and because she was shocked, she didn't have time to taste anything, so, just...

"There is still a whole pot here, if you don't need it anymore, we will go back."

Hey, why is this so!

"No, not going back!" She blurted out the refusal.

Almost as soon as the words were finished, the person on the other side asked a question: "Do you want to continue?" Every sentence hit the nail on the head, "Looking at you, you probably haven't got the answer you want."

Uh...

Yuli couldn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, the person on the opposite side smiled, and asked again: "So are you planning to go back like this?"

How could you be willing to go back like this!

It was not easy to come across a suggestion that could make up for the missing link in her cooking, and she didn't even try out such an amazing tea drink... She was so unwilling to go back to sleep that she couldn't sleep every night!

The contradiction of not being able to meet a good talent, but almost not having to miss it almost made Yu Li scratch his head, and the feeling of satisfaction before was completely gone at the moment.

At this moment, Yu Li suddenly thought of the story of the painter Yoshihide that Nankai Taro Chaozun told her in the present world, and their subsequent conversations.

"Maybe it's because the lord is an excellent painter but he doesn't have the ambition to do so. If..."

Yu Li can now complete the unfinished sentence by himself.

If it is for the pursuit of cooking skills...

The trembling fingers continued to stretch forward, and finally grabbed the skirt of the man's kimono. The owner of the hand spoke in a low and trembling voice: "Ying, Yingwan, please... once again..."

The author has something to say:
