The bald man's movements were astonishingly fast, and after only five or six minutes, he came in again with a small cart and prepared all the dishes in the same way.

Shu Kui picked up the chopsticks, first tasted everything, and then praised it one after another, saying that this was the best dish he had ever tasted.

The bald man smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, took a pair of clean chopsticks, and enthusiastically continued to cook vegetables for Shu Kui.

Shu Kui was indeed hungry, and he was still hungry, so he wiped out the dishes piled up in front of him one by one, and in the end, there was half of the eight-treasure rice left, and he really couldn't eat it.

"It doesn't matter, steam it tomorrow morning, it's just as delicious." The bald man looked at the empty basins on the table, and he already had a sense of accomplishment, "What's your name?" Come often when you have time in the future. ”

Shu Kui reported his name, and did not forget to praise at the end: "Uncle, the dishes you make are so delicious." ”

"Don't call me uncle, I'm not that old." The bald man smiled and waved his hand, "My name is Guo Yuansheng, you can call me Brother Guo." ”

"Okay, Brother Guo." Shu Kui also laughed.

"Brother Guo, Shu Kui, are you familiar with this?" Ling Jiuchuan interjected on the side.

When Guo Yuansheng heard this, he suddenly realized that he was too carried away, so that he ignored this big customer, and he was embarrassed, but also a little scared: "Master, don't be surprised, I finally met a mortal, and I like to eat and drink, I can make me cook a serious meal, I'm happy, I'm so happy......"

Ling Jiuchuan glanced at Guo Yuansheng and gave up.

"Brother Guo, don't you have mortals here?" The doubts in Shu Kui's heart are still unsolved, "Also, what is the place in the Three Frontiers?" How the hell did I get here? ”

"Speaking of which, I can't figure it out either" Mentioning this topic, Guo Yuansheng's face was puzzled, "Our place, it's not that you can come in if you want to come in, you can go out if you want to, only immortals and demons can come and go freely, usually, every Jiazi will only open for a day when they go to the road." ”

Shu Kui sighed deeply, completely unaware of what he was talking about.

"I'm a demon, and your big brother Guo is a hybrid of a human and a demon." Ling Jiuchuan finally said the point.

Shu Kui looked at him, not knowing how to react, and didn't know whether he was joking or serious.

"It's true." Guo Yuansheng said, "The Three Frontiers Realm is another space parallel to your world, I am from Youlan Country, and the country is full of demonic hybrids. ”

"And what about the other two countries?" Shu Kui remembered that Ling Jiuchuan said that there were three countries.

"Now in the Kuixian country where we are located, the people are all demons." Guo Yuansheng glanced at Ling Jiuchuan, "The Shengze Kingdom is full of cultivators, they are human beings, they don't care about food anymore, but there are still two other countries, and there are more people who like to come here to eat." ”

"What is that fairy? What is the way of the past? Shu Kui then asked.

"Cultivate to a certain level, the saint Ze will become an immortal, and the kui immortal will become a demon." Ling Jiuchuan took a sip of the tea that had been cold, and said, "However, it is not easy to become an immortal and enter the demon, in the past thousand years, there are only three or four people." ”

After a pause, he said, "The Dao is a passage that leads to the South Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Realm, the Ghost Gate of the Earthly Realm, and somewhere in the human world, which is opened once every sixty years. Usually, immortals and demons can create their own passages and come and go freely in various spaces, and the rest don't have this ability. As for you, I don't know how you got in, but if you want to go back, you have to have someone with you, otherwise, you won't even be able to find the entrance. ”

"Or ......" Guo Yuansheng wanted to add something, but as soon as he started speaking, he was glared back by Ling Jiuchuan's gaze.

This time, Shu Kui was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Demons, shemales, and fairies and demons, how can there be these things?" What kind of prank is this, right? Who sent you? Tsk, it's really a big deal, making so many scenes, and so many extras. ”

Ling Jiuchuan saw that she didn't believe it, and she didn't speak, she just got up and walked over, reached into her cup, and lightly touched it on the water, and in a blink of an eye, the whole cup of tea actually froze into ice.

Shu Kui, who saw the whole process in his eyes, was completely shocked, picked up the cup and looked up and down, left and right, and touched the ice, unable to say a word.

"Believe it, right? This is the most basic water control technique, you mortals don't know it, do you? Guo Yuansheng said, taking out something that shimmered, "And this, give it to you." ”

Shu Kui took it and saw that it was a small stone with an irregular shape, and the whole body emitted a soft white light, which was extremely similar to the small round ball he had just seen on Ling Jiuchuan's body.

"What?" She asked.

"Kim Seung-seok." Guo Yuansheng said, "It absorbs light during the day and glows at night, which is used for lighting." This piece is an unpolished rough stone, which is processed into beads, wears, etc., and is very convenient to carry on the body. ”

Shu Kui originally thought that this might be a lamp made of stone, but when he held it in his hand, it felt cold and hard to the touch, and when he looked closely, the whole stone was integrated, and there was no trace of artificiality, and he couldn't help but be surprised and surprised.

She thanked her, put away Jin Shengshi, looked at the two people in front of her, and was still skeptical: "Then what kind of monsters are you all into?" How do you look exactly like a human? What kind of spells are they? ”

"Moving outside in human form, adapting to people's lives, and so on, when the road is opened, it is not easy to expose flaws when you go to the world to catch people to eat." Ling Jiuchuan was impatient, and looked at her condescendingly, his eyes sharp, "Full?" Let's go. ”

Shu Kui was coldly seen on his back, and involuntarily stammered: "Go...... Where to? ”

"You're not going to sleep anymore? Is there a place to stay? Ready to sleep on the streets? Not afraid of being eaten? Ling Jiuchuan asked several questions in a row, and then added, "There is no accommodation here." ”

Shu Kui shuddered, he was really a little scared, and he didn't want to go with him, so he looked at Guo Yuansheng for help: "Brother Guo, are you still recruiting?" Can I stay? Do a mess and wash the dishes or something. ”

But anyone who is a cook doesn't like to be appreciated for his cooking skills and eats all the dishes he makes, besides, Guo Yuansheng has half of human blood, and when he saw Shu Kui before, he already instinctively had a sense of closeness, but now seeing her pitiful appearance, his first reaction subconsciously is to agree.

However, just as he was about to nod, a cold and slightly murderous gaze made his neck stiff all of a sudden.

He swallowed his saliva and glanced to his side out of the corner of his eye: "We only provide working meals, not dormitories - well, no recruitment, sorry." ”

"Can I go now?" When Ling Jiuchuan heard this, he seemed very satisfied.

Guo Yuansheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You invite me to dinner, take me away, and the ultimate goal is to eat me?" Shu Kui unconsciously thought of the severed head meal before going to the court.

"Nope." Ling Jiuchuan didn't bother to look at her, "You're too thin to eat." ”

When Shu Kui heard this, he was speechless for a while.

"However, there are many people who can't eat enough outside, and it's good to have a bone if you're hungry, not to mention that you're a big living person." Ling Jiuchuan continued, "If you don't come with me, you won't be able to survive tonight when you get out of the door of this hotel; Come with me, your life will not be in danger for the time being, and, maybe one day when I am in a good mood, I will raise you as a pet. ”

Although he was still reluctant, Shu Kui thought about it, he was completely unfamiliar with this place, and the man named Ling Jiuchuan in front of him seemed to have a lot of background, not good, really as he said, there are countless demons and monsters outside who are hiding in the shadows, if he goes out alone, maybe he will be gnawed to the point that there is no scum left, if he follows him, at least he can live for a few more days, and with these few days, there is hope to think of a way to get out and return to his own world.

At this thought, she made up her mind, and at the same time, she thought that it was still necessary to reconfirm: "You really don't eat me?" ”

"Don't eat it." Ling Jiuchuan emphasized word by word.

"Alright, let's go." Shu Kui wiped his mouth with a towel and stood up.

"Master, you're good to go." Guo Yuansheng saw that the matter was successfully resolved, and he became relaxed, "Shu Kui, I will send you eight treasure rice early tomorrow morning." ”

Shu Kui nodded vigorously and followed the man.

"What time is it?" Out of the hotel gate, there are still a lot of people on the street.

"It's past nine o'clock." When Ling Jiuchuan passed by the hotel lobby, he glanced at the clock on the wall.

"What about human time?" Shu Kui doesn't know if there is a time difference between here and the world.

"It's past nine o'clock." Ling Jiuchuan said, "Time, the sun, the moon and the stars, etc., are the same. ”

"What time is it?" Shu Kui remembered that when he went to the beach with Shu Di, it was after nine o'clock in the evening.

"May 22." Ling Jiuchuan replied.

"May?" Shu Kui thought, could it be that he had traveled to the past, "Isn't it July?" I was on summer vacation before I came. ”

"July?" Ling Jiuchuan was stunned for a moment, and then woke up, "I said the lunar calendar, May." Your day should be the seventh day of the seventh month. ”

Shu Kui said "oh", no wonder he felt that he was about to starve to death, and he had been in a faint for a whole day and a night.

"Keep up." Ling Jiuchuan saw that Shu Kui was a little distracted, and he couldn't help but remind him again.

After what happened just now, of course Shu Kui didn't dare to stop on the street alone, he was busy always half a meter behind him, and he didn't dare to look around anymore.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Ling Jiuchuan turned a corner and stopped.

Shu Kui raised his eyes and saw that not far before meeting was a black wall, nearly ten meters high, stretching out left and right, with no end in sight. There were two vermilion gates on the wall, guarded by guards on the left and right, all of them in snow-white uniforms, with narrow-bladed knives at their waists, standing upright.

"Have you arrived?" She asked.

Ling Jiuchuan nodded slightly, and walked straight towards the two vermilion gates.

When the guards saw him, they stood more upright and saluted, but he ignored them as if they were commonplace.

Entering the door is a small garden, only to see the weeping willows hanging low and swaying by the pool, the pebble road in front of the pavilion is winding and quiet, the wisteria flowers on the shelf are fragrant and elegant, and the white marble light in the corridor can be appreciated. The flowers between the leaves, the rocks beside the road, the tired birds chirp on the branches, and the insects in the grass chirp. The night does not make the scenery in the garden any less than half a point, but adds to the quiet and serene atmosphere.
