Da Zaojun

Chapter 59 Luohu Python
The power of the Kitchen God worship and fire-granting ritual did not give them the same abilities, but instead brought out their respective strengths.

Master Bao is very good at knife skills, so he has achieved perfection in his knife skills.

Master Liu is the best at making soup, so what is being strengthened is his ability to make soup.

Master Li is good at stretching noodles, and what he has strengthened is his ability to stretch noodles.

Master Ma is good at making all kinds of stuffed things, such as buns, dumplings, and wontons, so his ability to make things has been enhanced.

Aunt Liu is a good cook, so she can cook rice to perfection. Aunt Zou is good at pickling vegetables, so her ability is reflected in pickling vegetables.

In short, everyone has their own unique skills, and in the areas they are good at, they can also produce food with special effects. Although they are not omnipotent, it is actually normal.

The ceiling of combat power is actually the cat Cat Catcher.

"Everyone, don't be disappointed." Song Wuji said, "This ritual doesn't give you powerful strength from the beginning. It may seem inferior to the Six Gods of the City God, but this is actually the right way."

"With a stove, you'll digest food faster and quickly recover your strength by eating. Even when practicing 'Five Rats Moving' or other martial arts, you can quickly replenish your energy by eating. This is a long-term practice and blessing. As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"Besides, you are not meant for fighting and killing. Everyone should occupy their own position and do their own job. Cooking a delicious meal is not an easy task."

"Okay." Master Bao nodded. "Song Si Zao is right. Being able to become the walking Kitchen God is already much better than others. Even if I don't compare myself with others, I can compare myself with my former self."

Aunt Liu said, "That's what you did before, and you'll do the same thing in the future. Leave the steaming and cooking of rice to me from now on!"

In fact, everyone was quite satisfied, so they shared the food that had just been offered to the Kitchen God. The ceremony had more or less transformed their bodies, so they needed to replenish their food.

"Oh, right, you should recite the Kitchen God's Precious Edict more often, preferably facing the stove fire. If there's no stove fire, you should still recite it facing a place with light and fire. It's said that if you can persist in reciting it a thousand times, you will gain benefits. The stove fire can protect you at critical moments. If you can recite it ten thousand times, you may gain magic spells from the Kitchen God. If you can recite it a hundred thousand times, you will receive the Kitchen God's blessing."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Liu said, "I'll just recite it when I have nothing to do. It doesn't matter if I recite one sutra or two. Anyway, everyone is reciting the City God's Precious Edict right now."

Song Wuji did not stop her from reciting the City God's Edict. Just as the county magistrate said, she could not tell the truth in front of the people, nor could she openly sabotage the people. She had to fight the City God without breaking him.

Moreover, after completing the Kitchen God rituals for these people, Song Wuji himself was a little tired. He passed on the fire and collected firewood. The fire in their bodies was not rootless fire, but was divided from Song Wuji.

After giving a few instructions, Song Wuji asked them to get ready and sell some of the food that could restore the body tomorrow for a trial run. He would accept both copper coins and demon materials. The price did not need to be too expensive, but it also could not be too cheap.

These special foods need to be kept separate from the free regular foods.

In fact, there was no need for Song Wuji, an amateur, to give orders on these things. Master Bao had run a restaurant before and knew how to set prices.

Therefore, Song Wuji took the cat catcher and went to the training ground to find Chen Xiu.

While stroking the cat's head, he said, "County Lieutenant Chen will soon lead his troops to attack the secret realm of Cangzhong. You can continue to follow him. Also, Cat Captain, I have a set of boxing techniques to teach you."

"Cats are smart and powerful enough, they don't need to learn. People are stupid, they need to learn." The cat captain said lazily.

Last time, he taught Song Wuji the "Cat Fist," but due to Song Wuji's lack of aptitude, he only learned one move from the "Cat Fist" technique, the "Chain Palm," which imitated a cat's rapid, repeated slapping of its target. Song Wuji said, "Learning more skills is always useful. Since you're so smart, you'll definitely be able to learn it. And by the way, teach me the Cat Fist again."

Cat Fist has the agile body movements of a cat and is lighter than Tiger Fist. What Song Wuji lacks now is the body movement.

When they arrived at the parade ground, Chen Zheng was inspecting the county soldiers.

Although Cang Zhongguo is not far from the county town, the march of a hundred people is still quite large and can easily be discovered by demons.

The tiger demon hasn't made any big moves since the last time his minions failed to enter the city and he sent rat demons to attack the city but they attacked his lair instead. But in fact, he has been inviting all kinds of demons to join him.

Although Taichang County is small, it is home to many demons.

As the ancients said, go up the mountain to catch a tiger and go down the water to catch a dragon.

Outside Taichang County, there is a large lake named Luohu Lake. A giant python appeared in Luohu Lake, with the appearance of transforming into a dragon from a flood. It was planning to be promoted to the seventh rank. Like the tiger demon, it also set its sights on Taichang County.

A county town is only big enough for one demon to be promoted, so this python gathered the underwater demons, built its own dragon palace, and gave orders to the water generals.

However, people in Taichang County didn't know much about water monsters. In fact, only Sun Xiucai's "Supplement to the Picture of Bai Ze Monsters" recorded the dragon and python, so they didn't even know the whereabouts of this monster.

But the tiger demon was much more alert and perceptive than the one in Taichang County. In addition, he had read books and gained wisdom, so he valued his life even more than an ordinary tiger. He was still quite afraid of the python.

Because of this, they had already gathered in the mountains, planning to start an uprising as a group of demons and conspire against Taichang. Now they are afraid that they will start the uprising first, but in the end they will make things easier for the python.

But if they really fight, it's hard to say. The python can't defeat the tiger monster on land, and the tiger monster can't defeat the python in the water.

In this situation, Taichang County's breathing time became longer, and it was even able to start exploring outside the city and explore the villages that had suffered from the demon disaster.

This kind of behavior is not an attack on the city, so the tiger demon will definitely not sit idly by. He may even take action himself to destroy the team leaving the city.

Therefore, Chen Xiu was actually quite fearless. Seeing Song Wuji, he said, "You gave me a good idea. Lead the troops out of the city, kill the demons, and help others complete the skull sacrifice ritual. But if we are ambushed by the demons, I can still escape, but what about these soldiers?"

"I recruited them all, one by one. They're all from this county. If they all died, how would I face their elders and fellow villagers?"

Song Wuji said, "Why would we need to transport so many people to hunt monsters at once?

"Just find out the demon's whereabouts first, and then devise a plan to kill it."

"Besides, Master Lu's new disciple Xin Wuya is also very powerful. He is a ninth-grade master. Two ninth-grade masters can definitely attack a ninth-grade demon without any problems."

"When the skull sacrifice is completed, there will be another ninth-grade master."

"This is the only way to be healthy. Otherwise, if everyone is afraid of death, how can we find more experts to resist the demons?"
