Chapter 814 Lotus in the Ground, Delicious Dishes
Because the sea surface is flat and smooth like a mirror, the sun shines directly and is reflected by the sea surface, making the vast area very bright and dazzling. If you are at sea, you will be blinded by the sun in a short time. Wang Ruyi, the island where Li Changxiao is located, seems to have gathered all the good fortune.
The air here is fresh, the temperature is pleasant, and you don’t feel unbearably hot. There are shade trees to enjoy the shade, and there are lakes, hills, flowers and plants on the island. It is simply a paradise on the sea.
The strong light reflected from the sea cannot reach the island. After Li Changxiao discovered Wu Guo Divine Water, he became interested in it and kept it secret. He always told Wang Ruyi that if he was lucky, he might be able to enjoy ninety-ninety-ninety-nine percent of the water at a time... People in the world had only heard about it but didn't really understand it. Enjoyed the taste.
A great treat.
It made Wang Ruyi anxious, drooling, curious and greedy. But Li Changxiao, who was so arrogant, refused to tell her directly, asking her to guess whether it was going east or west. She had gone through all the delicious dishes and delicacies of the mountains and seas that she knew, but she just couldn't think of it. Can't guess.
I only think of that stinky drunkard, who sometimes has a lot of bad water in his stomach, which is really annoying. How can it be so appetizing? Li Changxiao was waiting. When it was noon, when the time was right, he threw the Qingping Sword to Wang Ruyi and asked her to dig the ground.
Wang Ruyi was stunned. Putting aside the fact that she was a powerful empress, digging in the ground was really out of line with her status. He said that this long sword was a murder weapon, how could it be used to dig the ground? How to dig the ground?
Li Changxiao gave careful guidance and told Wang Ruyi that his Qingping sword was a long and hard object, used for digging in the ground, and it fit tightly. Just stick the sword into the ground and pick it up.
He took the sword and demonstrated. Effortlessly, large tracts of soil were dug out.
Wang Ruyi did as he was told, rolled up his sleeves, and decided to have a good fight. The long sword was shoveled into the soil, and then she gently picked it up. She said "Hey" and found that it was indeed possible. And it doesn’t take much effort.
But even after digging for half an hour, I was still sweating profusely. She patted Qingping Sword, glanced at Li Changxiao secretly, and said comfortingly: "Qingping Sword, Qingping Sword, if you follow him, you will suffer great grievances in the future."
The sword trembled slightly, seeming to agree with it. Wang Ruyi cursed in his heart: "You are not satisfied with your long sword. Even if I want to follow, I can't." He leaned down again, as if digging in the ground.
Li Changxiao was not idle either. He threw the long sword to Wang Ruyi and he could only dig with his hands. His fingers are slender and white, with well-defined joints. It would be a pity to use them to play the harp or flute. Now it is used to dig the ground, which is really a "waste of natural resources".
In this way, a wealthy empress and a loose monk began to work like a peasant man. The soil was turned flat, but after failing to find what they were looking for, they moved to another piece of land and continued digging.
Wang Ruyi's waist was weak from exhaustion. He supported the ground with his long sword, beat his back with his right hand, and said angrily: "Are you kidding me? I've been digging all day and I haven't found anything." Li Chang laughed and said: "This thing has to depend on fate. If you can't dig it today, it means you have no fate with this thing, and you won't be blessed with it."
Wang Ruyi salivated again, thinking in her heart: "I heard him say that there are things in the sky but not on the earth. It's so hard to understand. If I don't try it today, I'm afraid I will regret it until I die." His eyes turned red inexplicably: " This bastard hates me One regret is not enough, so why don’t you add one to me? I am so heartless that I will never talk to you again. It would be better to be trapped on the island for the rest of my life without being able to get out. I will not talk to you for the rest of my life, leaving you alone to death. "
The sword in his hand was chiseling again and again, and suddenly he hit a foreign object. He carefully opened it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Ah! How can there be a lotus in this field!"
Li Changxiao came over hurriedly, fanned out the breeze with his hands, blew away the dirt, and held the lotus in his hands. It was greenish-gold in color, with a total of sixty-four petals and thirty-six lotus seeds inside. He smiled and said: "The lotus in the ground, this is what I am looking for!"
In the list of delicacies from mountains and seas, Earth Lotus is ranked "36", and Wuzuo Divine Water is ranked "72". When combined, the two are complementary to each other. Few people have tasted it, but it is estimated that... it may not be short of the top ten. .
Wang Ruyi raised her head to the sky, put her hands on her waist, let out a few soft "hums", and said in a sweet voice: "It seems that a certain great monk is nothing special. I found him first."
Li Changxiao said with a smile: "Yes, yes, let's go, tonight will be unforgettable for you." Wang Ruyi couldn't hide her embarrassment, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's so shameless." He spat lightly and inexplicably thought of going elsewhere. .
What Li Changxiao didn't say was that the lotus in this earth had a special quality that could only be discovered by women, and it was the best among mortal women. There once was a powerful force that captured mortal women and forced them to dig lotuses.
After digging for thousands of years, only three plants were dug out. Each plant can be sold for a sky-high price. Li Changxiao and Wang Ruyi were able to dig out the treasure in just one day. They were extremely lucky.
In Li Changxiao's heart, another suspicion was confirmed. He calmly glanced at the vast sea and thought: "If this is really the case, Ruyi, and even me, will not be able to leave this island easily."
Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind and looking at the lotus in his hand, he felt saliva dripping from his mouth and couldn't help but wonder what it would feel like. Wang Ruyi returned with a great victory, walking lightly, humming Dayu's ditty, and looking at Li Changxiao triumphantly from time to time.
It seems to be saying, you can have this blessing, but it's thanks to my blessing. If it doesn't go according to my will, I won't let you eat it. Li Changxiao couldn't laugh or cry.
It was dusk again. The golden light was splashing and it was so beautiful. When they passed by and saw the beautiful beach, they couldn't help but stop and watch. We all know that although the future is uncertain and life and death are difficult to decide, we must first see this rare beauty in the world.
Wang Ruyi said proudly: "Let's go, I will reward you with cooking for me today." He also said: "I don't know which traitor dared to ask me to dig a day." He meant something.
The two rushed to the cave, but if they wanted to make the delicious food, the rare delicacy, only the pure divine water and the lotus in the ground were far from enough. When Li Changxiao walked back to the cave, he also caught five walking animals: snake, rabbit, turtle, chicken, and ant. Three flying: bird, bee, and cicada.
He looked like he was facing a great enemy and showing his skills.
