Chapter 281 The Reunion of the Full Moon People
Chapter 281 The Reunion of the Full Moon People
The moon in the sky is bright and round, and the people on earth are reunited.
On this day, no matter they were rich or poor, everyone who could do it returned home, brought a word of peace to their mothers, and drank happily with their fathers.
There was a group of people who had just finished dinner and were walking on a floating stone platform back to Liyue Harbor. Their clothes were different, but they were very close.
This group of people were none other than Su Ping and his companions. They had returned from the Qun Yu Pavilion with the intention of seeing the strange stone, which was stored in the Yujing Terrace and had been salvaged not long ago.
There is nothing special about the stone as a whole, it even has some star snail fossils stuck to it, but it is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire. It is a sword that Keqing made herself, and she used the same method to obtain the Eye of God. It cannot be destroyed, except for being thrown down from the Jade Pavilion.
Of course, not everyone wanted to watch, such as Aunt Zhang, Xiao Cui Shounuo, and the couple's daughter, who was only three years old and was already lying on her father's back, drowsy.
Su Ping saw them off from Yujing Terrace. Before he turned around to leave, he saw Aunt Zhang staggering and needing Xiao Cui to support her carefully. He felt that time was really like a knife wearing away everything, and in the end, there would be nothing left.
Looking back on these years, it seemed that he rarely interacted with Aunt Zhang's family all day long since he moved to Liyue Harbor. This was something he had to endure as he "grew up", but it was also something he did not want.
"When you come back, spend more time with the old man. It's been many years..."
Su Ping made a secret decision in his heart, and then took a step forward, heading towards the bustling crowd, where there were his children, his fellow disciples, his master, and his friends.
Grandma Ping stood not far from the strange stone and said slowly, "The strange stone is about to break, and the truth will soon be revealed. The identity of the Kitchen God will be famous throughout Liyue Harbor for generations to come!"
Everyone was looking forward to it, but not too much, because first there had been chaos recently and then today they were rushing to celebrate the festival, so few people knew the story about the Kitchen God.
"Grandmaster, is the Kitchen God born tall and mighty, exuding an aura of dominance, an existence that shocks the ancient and modern times with just a spatula?" Su Lingling asked, his thoughts jumping around.
Grandma Ping smiled kindly and explained slowly, "The Kitchen God, Maxius, is a very kind demon god. He is tall, but not scary. On the contrary, he is very gentle and was welcomed by everyone at that time."
Xiang Ling scratched her head and said, "I seem to have heard of this, but I can't quite remember what it was like. What happened next, Master?"
Yan Fei also asked: "Grandma, what happened later?"
"You two, you didn't listen carefully when I was talking before, and now you have more questions?" Although Grandma Ping was scolding, she was smiling, and it was obvious that she was just teasing.
Two blushes appeared on Xiangling's face, which looked like a girl next door. It was obvious that this little cook was embarrassed.
As for Yan Fei, she had no other choice but to seek help from the senior brother in the sect. After all, the other party was known to be omnipotent and know everything, so it should not be a problem for him to help solve the ancient history.
Grandma Ping laughed angrily: "Now you remember your senior brother. When he was studying hard before, you should have asked him to help take care of you two!"
Xiangling felt even more embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly, put her hands behind her back and shook them gently, while Guoba kept comforting her.
Yan Fei was different. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I was only about six years old at that time, how could I possibly remember it? Grandma, please tell me again now, I promise I can remember it!"
"Yaoyao, let me tell your sister Yanfei about the history of the demon gods." Grandma Ping spoke in a calm tone, which was very sharp and left no room for relaxation.
Although Yaoyao didn't want to let her two senior sisters down, she couldn't disobey her master's orders, so she had to seriously introduce the story of Maxius, the Demon God of the Stove.
From the time when he joined the Liyue camp, which was then called Guiliji, to the time when he taught people how to make fires and cook, and cultivate farmland, and made outstanding contributions, to the time when he dissipated his divine power in order to purify the land of Liyue, this is a glorious history.
The process was so detailed that it seemed as if Yaoyao had really experienced that period of time. This was very surprising, after all, Yaoyao was not very old, just a child.
clap clap.
There was a round of applause at the scene, led by Su Lingling and echoed by Su Yunqing. It was completely from his heart and not for any other reason.
"Little Master, you are truly knowledgeable and talented."
"Little Sister-in-law is extremely talented, well-read, and full of knowledge. She has shocked the past, present, and future..."
Faced with the overwhelming praise from the brother and sister, Yaoyao's fair cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was obvious that she was also a thin-skinned person.
"Okay, Yaoyao is already shy because of the praise from you two, especially Xiao Yunqing. When did you use so many words?" Grandma Ping asked with a smile, closing her eyes slightly.
Su Yunqing's chubby little face was full of righteousness, "Replying to Grandmaster, I can't help myself."
"Well." Grandma Ping laughed and looked at the young man in yellow who had been silent for a long time. "It turns out that he is of the same bloodline. He has been a hard worker since he was a child. But how can a father in his twenties not know about this ancient story that even a child can recite?"
Su Ping felt a little numb. He had never thought that this could be linked to him. He was still watching the show quietly, but he was also shot innocently. What should he do?
"Master, I have no other choice. I was exhausted from the daily combat training and could not sit and listen to Master's teachings."
"It's just talk. Why are you so scared? It's not like you really do nothing all day long." Grandma Ping said calmly and naturally.
Everyone looked at this scene, and it was true that every family has its own problems. No matter what status one has outside, one cannot raise his head in front of the elders at home, even though the identity of this elder is equally astonishing.
Then, Keqing asked Xiangling again. She wanted to find a dish that was passed down from ancient Liyue. She no longer knew the name, but she still knew a little about the cooking method. It was just that part of it was missing, and after completing it, she still didn't know if it was correct.
"How about this, Keqing, can you show me the recipe? If possible, I will try to see if I can recreate this dish."
"Of course, I'll send the recipe tomorrow."
The two girls reached an agreement and decided to start the action tomorrow. Guoba was also very enthusiastic and kept grumbling.
Crackling!
There was a sound of rocks breaking and a loud bang, and everyone was surprised. They turned their eyes to the strange stone, only to see that it should have been intact, but now it had cracks all over it, and there was a flash of light, which was extremely dazzling.
Everyone knew that the true identity of the Kitchen God was finally going to be revealed. They had been waiting for this moment. Some were surprised, some were relieved, and everyone had different expressions.
boom!
The strange stone exploded with a loud bang, stirring up clouds of dust around it. Su Ping blocked the flying debris and threw it on the pile of rocks next to him, leaving it for later cleaning.
The strange stone has disappeared, and what remains in its place is a statue, the statue of the devil of the stove. Although the full moon is long gone, its appearance can still be seen.
"Wow, Guoba, why is it you?"
Xiangling widened her eyes in disbelief. She looked at her companions beside her and compared them carefully with the stone statue. The more she looked, the more similar they were.
"Kitchen God?" Keqing opened her mouth and called softly.
Guoba was growling and seemed to have no idea what was going on, but with so many people suddenly surrounding him and watching him, he also felt overwhelmed.
The Kitchen God of the past has now become like this, without any consciousness, which is even hard to imagine. So some people turned their eyes to Grandma Ping, waiting for an answer, including Xiangling, who really wanted to know who her partner was.
"Guoba is the Kitchen God." Grandma Ping affirmed, and then explained: "Although the Kitchen God's power has dissipated, his body still exists. Only a wisp of his soul remains, lying in the cave to rest, sleeping for who knows how many years.
Later, it rained heavily. The little girl in yellow clothes and blue hair went into the cave to avoid the rain. Because of a piece of leftover food, she became connected with the incomplete Kitchen God, and they have been together until now! "
After this explanation, everyone understood that it was Xiangling who picked up the Kitchen God, and later brought him with her, becoming a very good friend of him, and named him Guoba.
Su Ping also sighed. Although the Second Junior Sister's fate with immortality was shallow among the three, her luck in picking up the Demon God far exceeded his and Yaoyao's.
Even among the immortals, it is not possible to find anyone with such incredible luck, and it is unheard of that one can pick up a demon and take it home to raise.
"Lulu?" Even though he was not fully conscious, Guoba was a little confused when he heard this. His eyes widened, and then he looked at the girl he picked up, and his expression returned to normal.
"Guoba, have you remembered now?" Xiangling looked sad, and she squatted down and touched the raccoon's head.
Grandma Ping shook her head slightly. "Since the day you picked him up, Guoba has been Guoba, and it will not change in the future."
Xiang Ling lowered her eyebrows and asked again: "Master, is there really no other way?"
"It's gone. The divine power has dissipated and returned to the land of Liyue. It can never be restored. But there's no need to dwell on it. What's gone is gone. Cherish the present."
Grandma Ping said leisurely. These were not only her words to educate her disciples, but also her own words after she finally let go of the past, just like the words she had heard before.
Remember the past and move forward.
In short, the issue of the Kitchen God’s identity has finally come to an end.
Everyone gathered together for a long time, and then went home. Su Ping also sent the two children home, carrying one on each side of his shoulders.
"The deeds of the Kitchen God are truly great and extraordinary, but it's a pity that no one remembers him now." Su Lingling held her chin with one hand, a hint of sadness on her delicate little face.
Su Ping smiled and said, "If Ling Ling feels it is a pity, then remember this matter firmly. When you meet someone you can talk to, tell them in detail and spread the great achievements of the Kitchen God. This will be a good thing."
"Well, then I'll do this. I'll write a poem to the Kitchen God first, ahem..." Su Lingling stood up solemnly again, reciting poems and composing past events.
"I wrote a poem for the Kitchen God, and it expresses all my thoughts..."
Su Ping couldn't stop laughing when he heard this very familiar adaptation.
As for Su Yunqing, he did not say anything about obtaining the copyright, because the original author was right next to him and would definitely agree directly.
