After savoring the sweet taste in their mouths, Fan Tianlei and the others didn't hesitate anymore. They immediately wolfed down the simple dishes on the table.
Looking at Fan Tianlei and the others as if they hadn't eaten for a few days, Lin Wanwan moved the small stool to Qin Shangyu's side and whispered,""Master, are those military regions as poor as our Taoist temple in the past?”
"Hmm? Wanwan, why do you ask?" Qin Shangyu smiled lightly and pinched Lin Wanwan's puffed up cheeks.
If the military region was so poor that they could not afford to eat, then wouldn't the ordinary citizens of China have to live on air?
His little disciple's brain was really full of ideas.
"Look at how they're eating now.”Lin Wanwan pouted and defended herself.""It's exactly the same as when we ate yesterday.”
Looking at Lin Wanwan's serious expression, Qin Shangyu smiled helplessly and shook his head.""The difference is huge. The reason why they were like this was not because they could not eat, but because they had never eaten such delicious food before.”
"Is that so…"
Lin Wanwan stared at Fan Tianlei and the others thoughtfully for a while before nodding her head and starting to eat the food in front of her.
……
The lunch lasted for an hour before Fan Tianlei and the others put down their bowls and chopsticks with satisfaction.
They didn't know if it was their imagination. After the meal entered their stomachs, they felt a warm feeling in their bodies.
This warmth wasn't dry heat, but a kind of warmth that made people feel just right. Even in this hot summer weather, it didn't make them feel uncomfortable.
Staring at the empty square table, Fan Tianlei swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but ask,""Master Yufeng, may I ask…what is the difference between the dishes in your Taoist temple? Why is it so delicious?"
He had fallen into the trap!
After hearing Fan Tianlei's question, Qin Shangyu smiled with satisfaction. His eyebrows curved and he said slowly,""The Daoists of our Temple of Longevity are all people who have achieved perfection. As for the previous Abbey Dean, he had already ascended to immortality.”
As he spoke, Qin Shangyu looked at the sky outside the door with a pious expression and continued,""The Temple of Longevity has been blessed by the Merit of the Three Pure Ones. The farmlands have become immortal fields, and the deep wells have become immortal water.”
After explaining, Qin Shangyu smiled at Fan Tianlei and the others.""Therefore, the tea and food that you drink and eat are all made from immortal water from immortal fields. Naturally, it tastes sweet and fragrant. Compared to the grains and drinking water in other places, it was naturally different.”
These few short sentences had been arranged in Qin Shangyu's mind for a long time just to be used at this moment.
Feeling his sincere attitude when he spoke, even Qin Shangyu himself almost believed what he said.
As expected, he had the talent to be a Taoist priest…
Qin Shangyu praised himself silently, ignoring the stunned expressions of his junior brothers and sisters who said,"As a Taoist, you actually lied". He continued to look at Fan Tianlei and the others who were still in doubt and said,"The tea and food prepared using the immortal water of the immortal fields are not only delicious, but also beneficial to your bodies. Long-term consumption can prevent illnesses and disasters, prolong life, and strengthen your bodies.”
After a quarter of an hour of silence, Fan Tianlei nodded.
"... Yeah."
Although Qin Shangyu's words sounded very real, Fan Tianlei and the other soldiers who were under the light of society all day would definitely not believe it easily.
The tea and food were indeed delicious, but it was a little too ridiculous to be related to immortals. However, the delicious food in the Temple of Longevity could not be explained by common sense. Perhaps it was because the crops were growing well.
Therefore, although Fan Tianlei and the three female soldiers did not believe Qin Shangyu's words, his words had successfully planted a seed in their hearts.
In the future, as long as he was used to seeing these miraculous things, this seed would also sprout. As time passed, when the seeds grew, Fan Tianlei and the others would naturally start to believe in Taoism.
At that time, Qin Shangyu's goal would be achieved.
From the moment Fan Tianlei and the others stepped into the Taoist temple, Qin Shangyu had been planning this.
As long as the seed was successfully planted, Fan Tianlei and the others would become believers.
……
Just as the air was silent for a short while, Ye Cunxin suddenly picked up her chopsticks and carefully licked the last grain of rice in her bowl into her mouth. Then, she smacked her lips as if she hadn't had enough.
Seeing Ye Cunxin's reaction, Tang Lin burst out laughing and quickly asked,"This female scholar, do you need me to get you another bowl of rice?”
"No, no, no, there's no need." Ye Cunxin quickly waved her hand and blushed. She said shyly,"Actually, I don't eat much in the military. The reason why he ate so much today was entirely because the taste of the food was too good.”
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement."The rice in the military region tastes like plastic. Not only does it not taste good, but it also has no taste at all!”
Even Shen Lanni, who had always been quiet, could not help but say,"Not only that, because the land near the military area is barren, the water is not as good as the water here, and the vegetables grown are not as fresh as the vegetables here.”
"I'm almost a bird in the military. How good would it be if I could eat this kind of food every day!”Ye Cunxin wailed with a bitter face and was immediately glared at by Fan Tianlei.
They made the food in the military region sound so bad. Were these guys still soldiers of the Blade Military Region?
Although Fan Tianlei felt that the three female soldiers 'words were inappropriate, he did not refute them. After tasting the food in the Temple of Longevity, he no longer cared about the food in the military.
If he could eat such delicious food every day, he would be willing to stay in Longevity Temple for a longer period of time…
Fan Tianlei gulped as he thought about it. In the next second, Fan Tianlei seemed to realize that his idea was inappropriate. He quickly shook his head and dispelled the idea that he shouldn't have.
Were they going to stay in Longevity Temple forever just for a meal? That was almost the same as joining Taoism!
However, the tea and food were so delicious that they could not bear to part with them…
……
Opposite the square table, Qin Shangyu smiled as he looked at the changing expressions of Fan Tianlei and the others. His heart was filled with joy. He could see that Fan Tianlei was conflicted.
As for the reason for this dilemma, Qin Shangyu had already guessed it. Fan Tianlei and the others just wanted to eat this kind of good food every day, but they didn't want to stay in Longevity Temple for a long time and cause misunderstandings.
After all, the border of Yun Province could be said to be a poor and remote place. There was no village in front of it and no shop behind it. The food in the military region was really boring, and it was even more uncomfortable after eating for a long time.
Now, they finally had delicious food, and it was even the raw ingredients for the food. What should they do?
In this way, the most perfect way was for the Temple of Longevity to provide water and food for the Blade Military District.
However, Qin Shangyu naturally would not speak first. If he did, it would lower his status and make it seem like Longevity Temple was asking for help.
Why was this necessary?
As long as Fan Tianlei and the others had tasted this delicacy, they would definitely find an opportunity to propose an exchange.
What he needed to do was to wait for them to fall into his trap.
