The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 710: Old-style Pickled Cabbage (3K)

After talking about calculations for half a day and analyzing the research directions of the recent volumes of "Practice Theory", Liu Sheng finally put away the verification paper after glancing at Qingxue whose head was lowering little by little.

Let's change the subject...

"I heard that Elder Nangong is an elder of your Tianque Sect. Have you met him?"

The strange thing was that as soon as those complicated formulas were removed from her sight, Qingxue immediately woke up from her confused state, and her eyes were clearer than ever before.

She shook her head and said softly, "I became a disciple last year. Elder Nangong had been practicing in the Snow Mountain before I entered the sect. Maybe it was ten years ago? I can't remember clearly."

"Ten years..." Liu Sheng pondered, thinking about this familiar number.

"Yes, so, her relationship with the sect has actually become extremely distant..." Qingxue sighed, "So she is not willing to leave a place for our Tianque Sect in this selection, and only said it is a fair competition... But, fair, where is the fairness?"

The last word was whispered so low it was almost inaudible.

Liu Sheng only paid attention to those two words: "Selection? Has it reached the stage of selection?"

Qingxue vaguely sensed the shock that Ling Sheng couldn't hide on her face, and even a hint of bitterness.

However, I think it would be bitter for a master of the Dongxuan realm to participate in the selection for menial tasks.

Then again, who among them isn’t bitter?

Qingxue also smiled bitterly: "Yeah..."

"However, at least I am still qualified to participate. Many other sisters and brothers want to come but don't have the chance!"

Liu Sheng became even more curious: "What do you mean?"

"Ms. Ling Sheng, you don't know?"

Qingxue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Miss Ling Sheng would dare to come here without knowing anything. She was indeed a ruthless person.

But from another perspective, this is also a kind of self-confidence.

"But fortunately, Miss Ling Sheng, you should meet the criteria."

"What are the standards?" Liu Sheng asked.

"First of all, under twenty."

[They actually want young people... Why do they have to set an age limit for menial tasks? 】

"Secondly, you need to have a high enough resilience, higher than 85." Qingxue said, "Look at Miss Ling Sheng, she can still calmly deduce the formula in this strange atmosphere of the Heavenly Road, obviously her resilience is not low..."

Liu Sheng nodded, motioning her to continue.

"The next thing is that your cultivation must be above the Mingzhen realm and below the Shenzang realm. You will have no problem with this."

Liu Sheng was a little confused.

[There is a problem…]

[Also, there is a big problem. Even if it is not difficult to reach the Ming Zhen realm in this world, those who can reach the Ming Zhen realm under the age of 20 are generally young talents from major academies and sects. Why would they come to do menial work? ]

【and……】

"Why is it limited to below the Shenzang realm?" Liu Sheng asked.

Qingxue has always brushed aside this condition. After all, who under the age of 20 can reach the Shenzang realm?
She always felt that it was just a formality.

Therefore, he was a little surprised by Miss Ling Sheng's question.

"I don't know..." Qingxue shook her head in confusion.

Liu Sheng was not embarrassed. He guessed that Qingxue was probably just a new disciple and also at the bottom of the sect, so it was normal for him not to know.

"anything else?"

"Finally, there is the on-site selection and assessment." Qingxue seemed a little hesitant at this time, "As for the specific content of the assessment, I don't know either. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the scene to find out."

"All we know is that we have to arrive before October 7th," Qingxue added.

"October 7th..." Liu Sheng murmured.

【Five days left.】

"From the time the news was released to October 7, we have reserved some time, probably because we consider that the road to heaven is not easy to travel." Qingxue said worriedly, "But I didn't expect it to be so difficult! I don't know if we can make it in time."

"Don't worry, we definitely can."

Liu Sheng had no doubt about this.

Liu Sheng even set up a small stove on the side of the Tianlu Road, saying that he was preparing to eat.

Originally, Qingxue thought that eating some dry food would be enough.

Although I was frightened during the past few days on the road, I didn't even have time to eat dry food and was cold and hungry.

In addition, my mouth was very bitter from taking pills yesterday, and I could hardly suppress my urge to eat something spicy. However, I did not even think about having a freshly cooked hot meal.

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't waste time. Ours is mobile."

Qingxue then discovered that although Miss Ling Sheng seemed to be outside the carriage, her body was moving with the carriage, as if there was an invisible piece of land supporting her from below.

Grandpa Taibai was also fishing in the abyss as he moved forward. Occasionally, he would catch some strange things, which he would immediately throw back into the sea. He seemed not to be afraid at all.

Qingxue couldn't help but click her tongue, and suddenly began to doubt the origins of these two people.

Liu Sheng hooked Taibai Sword Immortal's bamboo basket, took out a fat, snow-white fish with fangs, and showed it to Qingxue with a smile.

"We ate this fish not long ago. It is only found in the Abyss Sea. It is very delicious. But last time we made it into sashimi. This time we can try another way to cook it."

"Hey, I'm going to eat this fish alone. I caught it with great difficulty!" Taibai Sword Immortal refused.

"Your fishing efficiency is too low...it took so long to catch this much fish."

Taibai Sword Immortal immediately blew his nose and glared: "I'm not that old guy who sits by the stream fishing every day. It's good enough if I can catch some fish!" The great priest Mei who was far away in Chang'an sneezed.

Meiyuan Zheng, who was fishing for psychic mechanical fish in the new world, also sneezed.

Liu Sheng continued, dragging out his voice and saying, "Grandpa, don't be so stingy! There are so many people who want to eat."

Qingxue: A lot of people?

Aren’t there only three here?

Grandpa Taibai seemed unable to bear Miss Ling Sheng's coquettish behavior. He shuddered and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a few more."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword energy was released and exploded into the abyss sea.

I saw countless strange creatures suddenly leaping up from the sea and rushing towards this side, but they were all pierced by the sword energy.

Taibai Sword Immortal carefully selected some that looked like fish and threw them into the bamboo basket.

Right under Qingxue's nose, the bamboo basket disappeared in an instant and was nowhere to be found.

When it reappeared, it was empty.

So Taibai Sword Immortal caught more swordfish and filled a basket.

Basket after basket.

When Taibai Sword Immortal stopped, the bamboo basket completely disappeared.

Qingxue was curious when she suddenly smelled a faint odor like that of rotten feet.

"What...is this smell?" she asked hesitantly.

"Old-style pickled cabbage."

Liu Sheng took out a small jar from somewhere, and as soon as he opened the lid, a strong sour smell hit his nose.

"Sauerkraut?" Qingxue frowned and had the urge to cover her nose, but she felt that this was not a good idea.

There is a feeling that there is no respect for the customs of southerners.

Liu Sheng, however, could see the disgust and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't step on it."

Then she carefully picked out a few sauerkraut.

"Taste it?"

Although the pickled cabbage smelled strange, its sour and spicy taste was overwhelming.

Qingxue couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and then secretly said in disgust: Qingxue, you are hungry...

So he waved his hand and politely indicated that he didn't want to taste it.

Taibai Sword Immortal couldn't help it, so he picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth. As a result, he was choked by the saltiness and the strong spiciness, so he had to drink a big gulp of wine.

Liu Sheng smiled slightly and said, "This is... my aunt used it for seasoning. It is indeed a little salty and spicy."

Taibai Sword Immortal found it very tasty and thought it went well with wine.

But Liu Sheng refused to give it.

"My aunt only made a small jar. Don't underestimate it. It must have been pickled for fifty years to get this flavor. This is the old jar of pickled cabbage."

Qingxue didn’t know who that aunt was, she just saw that the sauerkraut in Liu Sheng’s hand was gone again.

Before long, the strong smell of sauerkraut filled the air again.

But this time it also has the delicious aroma of fish soup.

I saw a big pot of boiling fish soup on the small stove set up by Liu Sheng.

The soup is golden and thick, the snow-white fish fillets bubble up as it boils, and the surface is sprinkled with chili peppers, peppercorns, and chopped green onions, which looks mouth-watering.

This time, although there was a strong smell of pickled cabbage, Qingxue couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

Taibai Sword Immortal, who was standing nearby, had already seen golden light flashing in his eyes and could not wait any longer.

Liu Sheng glanced at the Guangfeng Building next to him. On each table was a pot of steaming pickled fish. He nodded slightly with satisfaction and said, "Come on, let's eat together."

Qingxue couldn't wait, but she watched Grandpa Taibai and Miss Lingsheng eat before she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish fillet.

As soon as she put it in her mouth, her eyes widened.

The fresh, fragrant and smooth fish meat and the spicy taste of sauerkraut instantly intertwined on the tip of her tongue. The sourness was mixed with spiciness, and the spiciness was mixed with sourness. The taste hit her taste buds in waves, as if even the tip of her tongue was dancing.

She couldn't help but take another piece. The numbing aroma of the sour peppers gradually engulfed her senses, causing her body to heat up and her nose to sweat slightly, but she couldn't stop.

She couldn't help but eat even the pickled cabbage cooked in fish soup. It had just the right amount of sourness and was very memorable.

It turns out that southerners have their own way of cooking.

Although Miss Ling Sheng emphasized that this was sauerkraut from Xiaoluyuan, which was in the north, for Qingxue, the entire Tang Kingdom was in the south.

And it has to be said that the cooking techniques of southerners are also mysterious and unpredictable. No one knows where they come from.

Thinking about being in Tianque Sect, eating wind and drinking dew and taking fasting pills every day, it is really not a life for a human being.

While they were eating, Liu Sheng urged Taibai Jianxian: "Catch more fish, there won't be enough for us to eat!"

Qingxue was stunned. There seemed to be six fish heads in the pot, which meant there were six fish. It should be enough for three people, right?
In the end, Taibai Sword Immortal also obeyed and shouted, "I know, I know, everyone, please be patient!"

Who are you all?

Qingxue was about to say politely: "No need..."

But I saw the sword energy running wild, and the strange fish were thrown to the shore and then disappeared.

Qingxue didn't understand why, because she couldn't see the strange people around her who had finished eating the pickled fish on their table and were crowding beside her, staring at the pot in front of her.
