Chapter Forty-Four: The Immortal's Banquet

  Liu was taken aback, but he felt that the mysterious fog had entered his body, and it seemed that there was no change in his body.

  It was just a subtle observation, but he found that these vapors had entered his blood vessels and made his whole body itch. There was an indescribable feeling that couldn't be put into words.

  "Is this a blessing in disguise?" Liu Buji was suddenly shocked, could it be the power of his ancestors' protection?

  It's true that he isn't a person of this world. However, in his original world, he was indeed a descendant of the Liu family, and this point is also correct.

  Is this world not where Tao and Fa are not revealed? The restriction of the level of power makes this world have a limit to its power. Not even ghosts exist, so how can there be such a thing as Yin virtue?

  Liu was shocked and bewildered, but before his eyes was a daze. It seemed that the misty air had enveloped everything, shrouding the entire scene, and all those with Liu's bloodline felt an extraordinary sensation.

  An indescribable feeling spread out like this. The Liu family's men behind also started to kneel and worship.

  Despite the simple conditions, there is still a solemn and dignified atmosphere in this humble valley.

  But at this moment, Liu Bu-yi seemed to have felt that there was a force in the dark, descending upon himself.

  Then in his body, there also seemed to be some kind of awakening, a feeling that was mysterious and subtle. It was so faint that even Liu Bei couldn't feel it clearly, and he could only think that these were illusions.

  "Bow!"

  Liu Wugong let out a loud shout, and with that, the final bow was considered complete.

  Liu Buji had just stood up, and a sense of melancholy arose in his heart for no reason. Suddenly, a large crowd of people surrounded him: "Congratulations, True Man! Congratulations, True Man!"

  This life on earth, what's most important is the family business and legacy, which is to have children and continue the family line, bloodline.

  This is the most crucial point in a patriarchal society. Liu Bu Yi's recognition of his ancestors this time is a major event in life, and at this moment it is no less important than getting married and having children.

  Liu was vaguely aware that something must have happened to him. However, this change was too subtle, and he couldn't feel it yet!

  "Thank you all, thank you all... Please wait a little longer, the heavenly feast is about to be served!" He forced a smile and said.

  Making an excuse to go to the kitchen, Liu finally got rid of this large crowd. He shook off his spirits and only then did he shake off the daze from earlier.

  Suddenly, they had to arrange food for thousands of people, and even the largest kitchen couldn't accommodate them. So, they dug out dozens of stoves in a small forest outside the village and set up large pots on them.

  Liu Bu-yi hadn't even approached yet, but he caught a whiff of fragrance wafting towards him.

  "It smells so good, what is it?" Not only did Liu Yu smell this fragrance, but also the guests in the village smelled this strange fragrance that came with the wind, and they couldn't help but drool.

  "It seems like there's pepper..." Qu Chengfeng was the first to sniff it out.

  "Pepper, ah...... I've heard that this thing is more expensive than gold!" The crowd immediately began to buzz with discussion. This thing, for most people in Yincheng County, was a legendary item that they had only heard of in songs, but never actually tasted.

  "What other fragrance is there?" The crowd heard it, some were excited and others were disappointed.

  After all, although Hu Jintao is good, everyone has heard of it, and they are all human things. Compared to the things that Liu Bei announced that no one has ever seen, they still fall short by a lot.

  "Nothing else can be smelled!" Qu Chengfeng spread out his hands and said: "But now I'm even more curious, what kind of heavenly feast did Liu Zhenren prepare for us..."

  As they were talking, he turned his head and took a look: "Huh, where's that little brat of mine?"

  But he didn't know that the big fat boy in his family, Wei Yaozu, had already smelled the fragrance and couldn't hold back. He had secretly snuck into the small forest, where all sorts of fragrances mixed together, making his mouth water profusely.

  One by one, golden-yellow, unknown round stick things were placed over the fire, already charred black, emitting an irresistible aroma.

  Qu Yanzu was lured over, walking unsteadily, and staring with wide eyes.

  But then someone whispered in his ear with a laugh: "Want some? Get him a roasted corn on the cob!"

  Qu Yanzu turned his head and saw that it was indeed Liu Buji. He smiled shyly, feeling too embarrassed. In a voice smaller than a mosquito's, he called out: "Thank you!" and took the corn, turning around to run away immediately.

  Liu couldn't help but laugh, this roasted corn is really fragrant, and it's been many years since he last had some.

  "Dad, Dad..."

  Kui Chengfeng was pointing at several of his companions' noses and scolding them, "Where did you guys take Young Master to?"

  But then he saw his own son, running over with a strange object in hand, calling out: "Dad, Dad, eat this! It really smells good..."

  He Qu Chengfeng was originally prepared to scold him, teach this reckless guy a lesson. But upon hearing these words, tears almost flowed out.

  He hastily said, "You eat it yourself, Dad's not hungry!" Seeing Qu Yaozu holding a strange food, the whole body was golden yellow, with a layer of black roasted marks on top. The fragrance hit his nose, but it was a sweet fragrance that he had never smelled before.

  "This is corn, I've eaten half of it!" Qu Yanzu gestured to the spot where he had grasped it, and that half was already gnawed clean: "Leave the other half for Father to eat!"

  He was deeply moved in his heart, and his son really didn't live up to him. He had good things and would think of himself first. At this time, he took a bite and handed it back: "Dad has eaten, you eat by yourself!"

  Although it was just a small bite, a flavor that had never been tasted before filled the mouth.

  What is this thing? Corn, I really haven't seen it before, and I haven't even heard of it.

  At noon, the immortal feast that everyone had been waiting for finally began.

  At this time, most of them were still separate meals. According to the etiquette of the orthodox sect, they still knelt and ate.

  In Liu's camp, this dining situation was still preserved, not because they were a family of poetry and propriety. It was just that the family was poor and couldn't afford to buy those new-fangled things like armchairs.

  Everyone knelt down on the ground with eager eyes, waiting for a long time. Finally, a stream of dishes was brought up.

  Everyone had a big bowl of thick soup, and I didn't know what was inside, but just looking at the red oil floating on top, the aroma was exceptionally enticing, making people involuntarily secrete saliva.

  "What's in here? I think it's mutton soup..."

  "What's inside is mutton, no doubt about that. The question is how it can be so fragrant? It seems like they've added some pepper or something. What's this red stuff?"

  Everyone was discussing it, at that time people didn't eat much pork. Southern fish and northern mutton, even chicken and duck were not considered proper meat.

  If it weren't for the mutton, this formal banquet would be a loss of face. The soup was indeed made with mutton, but what seasonings were added, no one could tell.
