The old people in Qingping County have always been able to smell danger as quickly as possible. In recent months, they have clearly felt that the atmosphere in Qingping County is a little different from before.

First, there was the strange heavy rain, and after the heavy rain, there was such a beautiful Langjun who was like a monster in the Ye family's wine shop. Since then, there have been more and more people passing by in the county, first a group of strange Taoist priests came, rented a house here, did not live for a few days but moved out in a hurry, and then there were warrior-looking guys who lived in the inn......

This qiē makes people feel indescribably weird.

The old people were vaguely aware that these eccentricities seemed to be inextricably linked to the Ye family's wine shop. Therefore, they no longer refused to go to the Ye family's wine shop to drink, and preferred to go to the wine shop farther away from the county seat, so that they felt safer. However, those young people didn't care much about the opinions of these old people, thinking that they were no different from usual, and that the arrival of these strange strangers in the county was just a coincidence.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, another person came to Qingping County.

It was a strong man like a black iron tower, extremely tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, a face full of meat, and a fierce appearance, but he had a crying face, and his appearance was even more strange. With every step he took, one felt the earth tremble.

This guy looked much more terrifying than the previous warrior with a big scar on his face. Looking at his dignity, even if he is a monster who eats children, no one will think it is strange.

Fortunately, it is now the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and the weather is very cold in winter, the doors and windows of every house are closed tightly, and the shops have long been closed. There were almost no pedestrians on the road, and no one saw this terrible strong man knocking on the door of the Ye family's liquor store.

The wine shop had closed for the New Year, and Zhan Lu was busy with her business, when she suddenly heard a heavy knock on the door.

She was a little confused, but she still opened the door. When he saw the strong man who looked like a black iron tower outside, Zhan Lu was really taken aback.

However, the strong man seemed to be no less frightened than Zhan Lu. He pointed at Zhan Lu with his finger and asked in a loud voice:

"You, you, you, you...... How did you become like this?"

Zhan Lu listened to the strong Chinese tone, and actually knew her. But she had no impression of this person. She looked down and saw that she was wearing her usual crimson cotton jacket, no different from her usual appearance. She looked at the strong man suspiciously, only to hear him say again:

"I know that of the four of us, you eat more than the others, and your temperament always seems to be stranger than the others. It's just that I really didn't expect that you would actually turn into a delicate little girl, and it would be disgusting to think about such a shell with such a guy like you. ”

Zhan Lu felt a little confused, and before she could answer, she only heard Ming Yijun's voice sounding from behind her:

"Tell me, what's disgusting about this seat?"

The strong man heard the voice, and when he looked up, he saw Ming Yijun appear behind Zhan Lu.

He looked down at Zhan Lu in amazement, and then looked up at Ming Yijun:

"Mingyi, you guy, what's the matter...... Is it ......?"

Ming Yijun nodded impatiently:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what you think. ”

"That'...... Then she ......"

"It's just an ordinary human being. ”

The strong man looked at Ming Yijun dumbfounded, and after a long while, he said again:

"Originally, I just thought that you usually don't look like the three of us...... I didn't expect you to really go crazy. Did you tell me to come all the way here just to sue me about this?"

The strong man's words were very polite, but Ming Yijun was not angry, but just shook his head:

"It was just an accident. I called you here for another reason. Now that the Devouring Swallow has arrived, I will make it clear why I have gathered everyone when the Chaos Seeker arrives. ”

When Zhan Lu heard Ming Yijun say this, he knew that the strong man in front of him was the Han Qi called Wei Jijun. Now among the four murderers, Zhan Lu has seen three. Previously, she saw that the human forms of Ming Yijun and Devouring Jun were extremely beautiful, but the four fierce ones were all like this, and she didn't expect that the human form of Han Qi was actually a strong man with such a fierce appearance.

However, although Wei Jijun is fierce in appearance, in terms of momentum, he is not as powerful as Ming Yijun or Zhan Lu's previous devouring monarchs. Zhan Lu is usually used to seeing Ming Yijun, so now that he sees Wei Jijun, he is not too afraid.

Wei Jijun listened to Ming Yijun's words, nodded, and replied:

"I'll just say you're not the one who doesn't weigh on the light. About what you want to say...... I can guess a little bit...... When I came here before, I also encountered a little obstacle, and I am afraid that it will have nothing to do with this matter. ”

The two looked at each other and understood what each other was thinking. I only heard Ming Yijun say again:

"According to my expectations, you should have arrived half a month ago. I didn't expect it to be delayed until this time. Now that the arrival of the king is delayed, it is really worrying. If he doesn't arrive tomorrow, we'll have to wait another year in vain. ”

Wei Jijun's appearance also looked a little worried, his crying face wrinkled, and he looked so ugly that he couldn't say it. Just listen to him say:

"One year is not a long time, but I am afraid that in this year, something will happen. If there are really any variables, even if the four of us meet again on Chinese New Year's Eve next year, I am afraid that we will not be able to enter the temple and peep into the heavenly urn. ”

Ming Yijun sighed:

If so...... That's destiny. How the Heavenly Dao works, even the Emperor is difficult to explain, how can you and I see through it. ”

Speaking of this, the two sighed together, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Zhan Lu didn't understand what they were talking about, but she heard them say Chinese New Year's Eve, so she asked:

"Lang Jun, is this Wei Jijun going to stay for the New Year?"

Ming Yijun nodded and replied yes, and said:

"Not only this Wei Ji Jun, but also the Devouring Jun you have seen before will also stay for the New Year. There is also a gentleman, who will arrive at some point. You prepare well, and be sure to entertain a few Lang Jun. ”

Zhan Lu agreed, and was about to leave, but heard Na Wei Jijun say again:

"I was so busy talking about those things that I forgot about it. ”

As he spoke, he took out something from his bosom and handed it to Ming Yijun, saying:

"Anyway, why do you want this? It's not tasty, it's far away, and I was asked to bring it. Take a closer look, but what do you want?"

As soon as Wei Jijun took out the thing, a fresh fragrance suddenly filled the room.

Ming Yijun held the object in his hand, Zhan Lu looked up curiously, and saw that the shape of the object looked like a fruit, the skin was green jade, crystal clear, very beautiful, but it looked like a jade carved work of art.

Zhan Lu remembered what Ming Yijun had said before, raised his eyes to look at Ming Yijun, and asked:

"Lang Jun...... That's what you said......"

Ming Yijun smiled and nodded:

"This is the jade lime I said. This jade lime only bears fruit once in sixty years, and this year is the year of the jade lime fruit, so you are lucky. ”

Ming Yijun took out snow honey from his bosom again, put it with jade lime, and said to Zhan Lu:

"If you want to restore the sense of taste, these kinds of things must also cooperate with each other to achieve a good effect. Snow honey and jade lime are combined in one place, and the taste is excellent. Now that you can't get those three things for a while, you can taste these two things first. ”

After he said that, he handed these two things to Zhan Lu, and instructed:

"You first use a knife to cut the jade lime with the peel into thin slices, put it in a container, then pour the snow honey on it, find a shady place, leave it for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and then eat all the honey and lime. ”

Zhan Lu listened to Ming Yijun's instructions, and hurriedly took the two things away and operated them carefully. The jade lime peel is like jadeite, it is hard and crisp, and it is not easy to cut it neatly.

Zhan Lu was concentrating on cutting jade limes in the kitchen, not knowing that at this time, Wei Jijun was looking at her back and said to Ming Yijun:

"You want me to bring Jade Lime...... Is it for her? You even asked the devourer to get you snow honey?"

Ming Yijun bowed his head, and a strange smile appeared on Wei Jijun's crying face:

"That's really...... It's amazing. ”

Ming Yijun is still faint:

"She's just a patron with whom I've made a contract, and I'm just food for the future. And there is nothing strange about it. ”

Wei Jijun's smile became stronger, which made his face even more ugly, but he still smiled:

"Really...... Is that so? ”

His expression was so subtle that he seemed to have insight into the most interesting things in the world.
