Chapter 352 Is This Eighth Uncle? At the foot of Jiandao Peak is the Fourth Aunt Temple. The two Taoists were saluting a group of cats. The two Taoist children beside them still had surprise and wonder in their eyes, but they still imitated the movements of their two uncle masters and saluted the group of cats. The amazing thing is that the cats actually returned the gifts in a proper manner. Four Taoists, two large and two small, handed over the fish in their hands. The cat sent out four fish, came forward to receive them, and returned two hares, as if making an exchange. Such scenes are rare. A farmer carrying a hoe and passing by in the distance saw this and immediately froze in place with his mouth wide open, not daring to move and unable to speak. "You two little Taoist priests have grown up so much." The old cat in the temple showed its true appearance, half lying on a bamboo rocking chair, looking at them, and said kindly, "In my memory, you are still the two little people who went to Tianmen Peak to steal honey when you first came to the mountain. Alas, time flies." "This matter cannot be hidden from Fourth Aunt's eyes." "What can't be hidden... Hehe, when you young Taoists from Fuqiu Peak first entered the sect, you had no skills and knew nothing. You ran around the mountain. Wasn't it me who watched you?" "I see."

Lin Jue nodded, not surprised. The fourth aunt might lack the power to fight, because cats are not as ferocious as tigers and leopards, but she has lived for so many years, she must have some other skills. She has been on the Scissor Peak all the time, so it is normal for her to know what is happening on the nearby mountains. When the master passed away, didn't anyone inform her? Didn't she even come to see him off before her fellow disciples knew about it? "I heard you went to the capital? I heard it's not an easy place to live?" The fourth aunt looked at them distressedly, her eyes were the same as people's, "You must have suffered a lot in the capital, right?" "Fortunately, I can get by." "Two poor kids." The fourth aunt sighed, "You two have great potential, and you still have a long life ahead of you." Lin Jue felt that Fourth Aunt seemed to have a pair of discerning eyes. Or maybe she is particularly perceptive in some areas. At this moment, two voices were heard not far from their feet. "Hello, Senior Ma~" "Whose descendant are you, little cat? What's your name? You seem quite polite!" "My name is Xiaohua, and I'm the cat of Fuqiu Temple." Xiaohua began to behave herself in the Fourth Aunt's Temple. "They said Senior Ma is the senior, and asked me to show some respect to him." "Well, not bad, not bad. They are not bad, and you are not bad too." Ma Mao looked it up and down, knowing that the cats in Fuqiu Temple were all descendants of the cats like him, and nodded repeatedly, "You seem young, but you have already refined the horizontal bone and can speak. Well, a few years ago, several cats from your Fuqiu Temple came to practice with us at Jiandao Peak, but so far only one has learned to speak. You can speak without our teaching, not bad, not bad, very good." "I have Qingyao's guidance!" "Who is Qingyao? Can she compare to us?" “I also learned to read and write.” "? Ridiculous!" Ma Mao frowned, "Why should a cat learn to read and write?" "Qingyao said..." As they were talking, four Taoist priests, two big and two small, had already said goodbye to the group of cats.

"I'll take my leave first. After a while, my senior brothers will come back and they will definitely come to visit Fourth Aunt and the senior Taoist friends. I'll come to visit Fourth Aunt then." "Walk slowly. If there is anything you need, just let me know." "Farewell." The four walked out of the temple. The fox turned around and followed, but before leaving, it poked the civet cat with its claws. A fox and a cat followed, one in front and one behind. The path in the mountains was very narrow, only wide enough for one person to walk. Lin Jue walked in front, followed closely by his junior sister. The two children had both experienced hardships and were very well-behaved. They followed obediently behind. At the end were the fox and the civet cat, which were arranged in a line from big to small with even spacing between them. The mountains are still full of flowers and peach and apricot trees are blooming. Even if you walk through ordinary mountain fields, you feel like you are walking in a painting. The occasional bees and moths flying by can attract foxes and cats to stop and turn their heads. "We came back just in time! The flowers are blooming!" said the little sister. "After the brothers come back, we may have to wait for the azaleas behind." "Maybe." “The flowers are blooming really well this year!” "Well, it's beautiful." “But it still bloomed best the year we came down the mountain.” "That year..." Lin Jue remembered—— That was the mountain of spring given by the Green Emperor. "Brother, how do we eat the two rabbits that fellow Daoist from Jiandao Peak sent us?" The little sister picked up the rabbits and looked at them. "I know!" Ji Yang, who was walking behind her, answered in a clear and crisp voice, "You can cook it into dishes and rice!" "..." The junior sister scratched her head. "This is how our master cooks for us. He always tells us to eat more meat, saying that eating it can help us grow taller!" Ji Yin followed. "..." The little sister scratched her head again, thinking about the ways in which rabbits were cooked that she had eaten in the mountains before, and turned back to ask, "Hasn't your master roasted it before? Hasn't he cooked it with sauerkraut or shredded ginger?" "I roasted it once, but it was very dry and hard. Master said it wasn't tasty, so we never roasted it again." Ji Yang said. "I cooked it once and I thought it was delicious, but my master said it wasn't! Now when I cook the meat into the dish or rice, my master will add some sauerkraut instead of salt! It's delicious!" Ji Yin at the back couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The junior sister looked solemn, her mind full of nostalgia. These two people are really similar to her in the past. "I'll ask Uncle Eighth to cook for you later." The little sister said, "Big Brother, your master can no longer be relied upon. If you want to eat delicious food, you should learn it well. You don't have to learn everything, just the basics, and you can open a restaurant down the mountain." "what?"

Neither of the two Taoist boys understood. That night, their master did not cook. Just when the two little Taoist boys were puzzled, they saw Eighth Uncle wash his hands and walk towards the kitchen. Before entering the house, he gave a few instructions to their master and Ninth Uncle, who nodded repeatedly. Not long after, there was a sound of chopping in the kitchen. Then green smoke came out of the chimney. From a distance, I could tell that someone was cooking in the mountains. Then there was a hissing sound—— The high temperature of the hot oil stimulated the ginger, onion, garlic and star anise. The mountain breeze immediately brought a stimulating and rich aroma from the kitchen, which was undoubtedly a smell the two little Taoist children had never smelled before. The fragrance floats in the Taoist temple and is carried further away by the mountain breeze. Many monsters and animals in the mountains raised their heads, sniffing the air or looking towards the Taoist temple. It wasn't necessarily that I smelled the scent, but I hadn't smelled this kind of scent for several years. At this moment, I knew that someone had returned to the Taoist temple. There were two rabbits, one was made into a ginger and sauerkraut rabbit, and the other was roasted rabbit with five-spice flavor. There were also a few fish left, so I cooked a plate of scallion fish. Add a pot of white rice with nothing else added. Still under the ancient pine tree, the two little Taoist boys worked together to carry the wooden table, and then diligently moved the benches. The original master's position was taken by the eldest brother. Anyway, he was the master now. The two little Taoist boys sat at the table with shocked and expectant eyes, but they didn't dare to pick up the chopsticks first. "You guys eat first." As Lin Jue was talking to them, he used the most beautiful small plate in the temple to put three small plates of food and brought them to the other side of the Taoist temple. Three sticks of grass incense, shaken in a circle, will light up a red star. With green smoke, it was stuck in the ground. "Mountain God, I am back today to visit you, Senior Brother. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I would like to say hello to you, Senior Mountain God." "call……" A gust of mountain wind suddenly blew up in the mountains. The mountain wind only blew the Taoist's robe and hair, and only made the ancient pine trees in the courtyard tremble slightly, but when it reached the grass fragrance, it blew the grass fragrance to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a breath, it was burned out, and the green smoke was all blown away by the mountain wind to an unknown place. When the breeze reached the ground, it also rolled up three plates of food, flew up steadily, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one knew where it went. The two little Taoist boys were stunned again. Lin Jue knew everything when he saw this—— Given the eldest brother's peasant character, and the fact that these two disciples had just gone up the mountain and had not yet started practicing, he would certainly only let them recite the Yin-Yang Sutra every day and work on the mountain to find peace of mind. They might know that their master is a rare master of Taoism in the world, and they might know that there are mountain gods and many goblins and ghosts in the mountains, but very few of them have seen them with their own eyes. Moreover, they were not like Lin Jue and the other two, who had seven senior brothers who would always show them things or take them out for fun. At this moment, they are the future senior brothers and sisters. "Eat." As soon as the eldest brother opened his mouth, everyone started to eat.

The rabbit meat was as white as snow, with golden fat, like the sunset glow, and it brought up a thin piece of sauerkraut and a few shreds of ginger. They were placed in the steaming white rice, and the rice was instantly dyed. The two little Taoist boys picked up the bowl and scooped the rice into their mouths. They were stunned for a moment. Take another piece of fish, it is tender and oily, with the aroma of green onions and spices, fully flavored and without any fishy smell. Born in the mountain village, everyone has eaten fish, but has anyone ever eaten fish that tastes like this? Not to mention the roasted rabbit. It was obviously roasted, but it was not dry at all. Only the outside was crispy. It was hard when picked up with chopsticks, and it made a crackling sound when bitten with teeth. I don't know what the Eighth Uncle put on it, but it didn't taste like rabbit meat at all. It was not only fragrant, but also more fragrant the more you chewed it. The two turned their heads and looked at each other, both stunned. Coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but glance at his master again. But I saw that the master's expression was also complicated. He was silent for a short time, as if he was thinking about something. Then he sighed and started eating. Only Uncle Nine smiled. I think this expression appeared on her face several years ago. The next few days were also very relaxing. Ninth Uncle took them to the mountains to collect honey, and after collecting the nectar they picked pine needles to make pine needle sparkling water. Eighth Uncle took them to the market at the foot of the mountain, where they sold meat and bought vegetables, and then cooked when they came back. Then, visit Xianyuan Temple in order of distance. …… Today we resumed the double update!
