Chapter 177 The Taste of Memories
"remember?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "Brother Xiao, you mean that you have eaten food made by my family before?"
"Um."
Xiao nodded: "A long time ago, but your ancestor's cooking skills may not be as good as yours, but he still likes to make some weird recipes."
"Dumplings stuffed with mint and pepper, boiled fish with raspberry sauce, stir-fried meat slices soaked in milk, etc."
Hey, this is dark cuisine, no, this is abyss cuisine!
So, my craftsmanship is already at the ceiling level in the Gu family's pedigree?
It is true that the disciple surpasses the master.
Gu Sanqiu's mouth twitched: "Are you done eating?"
"I have tasted it, but only tasted it."
Gu Sanqiu breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. He didn't want to meet an immortal and be beaten up with some weird reason like "your ancestors made me eat dark food".
"So what happened next? Were these dishes wasted?"
Xiao shook his head: "At that time, waste was not allowed. Even your ancestors set an example. Food was rationed. He saved for a long time to make such a meal."
Gu Sanqiu seemed to have grasped the key point: "So, in the end, my ancestors ate all these dishes?"
"At that time, the Demon God of the Hearth, Marcosius, even came over in person and watched your ancestors eat the food. Not to waste the food."
"Well, there should be someone more familiar to your family. The one who supervised your ancestors' meals was the Dragon King."
"Lord Ruota?"
Gu Sanqiu's mouth has never rested since just now: "Why?"
Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It seems that your ancestor wanted to secretly pour the food into the Dragon King's mouth. Marcosius thought it was interesting and agreed to this plan."
"I've just told you the ending. Your ancestor finished that meal under the watchful eyes of the Dragon King. The Kitchen God was even forced to taste it, and he never ate the food your ancestor cooked again."
…
Suddenly I felt that Uncle Ruota was very polite not to beat me to death that time.
Gu Sanqiu was silent. After they committed suicide, it was all over, but the immortals were still alive and well. What would happen if a few more of them came to cause trouble for him?
"Brother Xiao, you only took a bite, can you remember it so clearly?"
"Um."
Xiao said calmly: "In the life of the guardian Yaksha, apart from killing, there is not much leisure time."
“Even if I only took a bite, I can still remember the taste.”
"The smell of smoke, the sound of burning firewood, we sat together, listened to the laughter of friends and colleagues passing by, and after taking a bite, we wanted to find an excuse to leave..."
“Even later, when the Dragon King watched the Kitchen God and your ancestors finish those dishes, and the onlookers giggled, it all seemed to be still fresh in my mind.”
“This is the taste of memories.”
Gu Sanqiu was silent, sitting around with his friends, eating and chatting. It was a happy thing and something worth remembering.
But for the current Great Sage who conquers demons, recalling these things may be accompanied by nostalgia and even pain.
"Well, Brother Xiao, although I think those dishes may not taste good, I can actually replicate them. Do you want to try them?"
Anyway, he won’t eat a single bite of it.
This time, Xiao stared at Gu Sanqiu for a full five seconds. If the other party's eyes had not remained calm, he would have suspected that this guy was suddenly disturbed by karma and regarded him as an evil spirit and wanted to attack him.
"No, this is good. It's simple, but you can see that it was done with care."
Xiao started eating noodles. It seemed that saying so many words in one breath had exhausted Xiao's "today's speaking quota". During the rest time afterwards, the only sound that could be heard in the mountains was the sound of the two people eating noodles.
"Set off."
Gu Sanqiu was once again picked up like a child and experienced what Teyvat's aviation service was like.
It's just that the method was a little bit rough. If the passenger didn't have some strength, there is a high possibility that he would die suddenly in the air.
"That's it."
Xiao put Gu Sanqiu down and said, "This time, I will place some weaker evil spirits next to you, so that you can practice. Don't you have something you want to do?"
"Uh, Brother Xiao, can't you help me take down a few of them?"
"If I take action, they will just turn into ashes."
Xiao implicitly expressed the fact that "Sui Shen is very weak, but he himself is very strong."
"Also, your strength needs to be improved."
Xiao said calmly: "Your strength may be very strong in the eyes of ordinary people, but in my opinion, it is just the entry level. As the heir of the Gu family, it is very necessary to improve your strength."
"I believe you should have realized something. As an incense burner, the things you face will never be limited to the mundane level. Some existences that only exist in legends today may also stand on the opposite side of you."
"Well, I do have a deep understanding of this."
Gu Sanqiu complained that he had encountered many high-level beings, including Uncle Ruota, Emperor Rock, and even Dekalapian whom he met in Mondstadt .
Excluding the old man who was wandering around in the mortal world , the number of legendary beings he had seen during this period of time was probably equivalent to what many people would see in their lifetime.
"It seems you understand too."
Xiao glanced at Gu Sanqiu who had activated the Canxin Bone Pen.
"By the way, you are not allowed to use the family heirloom weapon this time. You should have a spare weapon, use that."
Spare weapons?
Gu Sanqiu thought for a moment, then took out the things one by one.
There were demon-killing revolvers that had been used before, as well as swords, spears, axes, halberds, hooks, hammers, and even barrels of gunpowder.
If Broken One hadn't been given to the old man to play with, he would have been able to change his job from a Lancer to a Spearman today, infusing elemental power and being able to kill any kid with one shot.
…
"Why do you carry so many weapons with you?"
"Well, I said this is for safety reasons, do you believe me, Brother Xiao?"
Xiao picked up a spear and weighed it in his hand: "This is it."
"Uh, is it true that nothing will go wrong if we use this thing in a fight?"
Gu Sanqiu expressed his doubt. Xiao used a five-star weapon like the Primordial Sword to fight against the God of War, but he was using this three-star weapon?
This isn't some mission to clear monsters in the wild. The one in the middle of us is a demon!
"Try to use your elemental power to control the weapon, like this."
Xiao thrust out a spear forward, and the spear force that had almost condensed into substance turned into a tiger pouncing forward and biting, flying for a long distance before dissipating.
"It's just training. I don't want you to hold a weapon in a life-or-death situation. Do you understand?"
Xiao looked at Gu Sanqiu and said, "If you don't learn the trick you just used in this battle, you will have to use this weapon for three days until you learn it."
Gu Sanqiu took the spear and stabbed forward as well. The spear's force was also condensed into that of a tiger pouncing forward, but in terms of details, it was far from perfect.
The gun-like tiger shot by Xiao is in the Blu-ray high-definition version, and even the hair forming the "王" character on the forehead can be seen clearly.
As for the other player who played the tiger...why are they still using VCDs in this era?
Gu Sanqiu held the spear in his hand, feeling desolate inside.
Brother Xiao is doing this for my own good. He wants to hone my strength . He has me in his heart! (crossed out)
Why do I feel like Xiao is taking revenge on me for wanting to make dark food for him?
