The moonlight outside the window echoes the rows of moonlight cups in the main hall, and under the flying curtain, a shadow stands in the wind.

He bowed down in front of the beautiful woman with an almost intoxicated expression.

A string of delicate silver bells were tied to her jade-like ankles, and every time she moved her lotus feet, they would make a crisp ringing sound.

Her crimson tulle skirt, her swaying willow-like figure, and her delicate and sly smile all captivated him.

"Do you want to live forever?" She gently flicked the elixir in the cup with her slender and graceful fingers, and the overflowing moonlight slowly flowed down the rim of the cup like a thin smoke, gilding her beautiful face with a silvery shimmer.

He looked at her as if he hadn't heard what she had asked him.

The beauty chuckled, she tilted her chin slightly and looked down at the man at her feet, and the original teasing question turned into a majestic order: "Now is the time, go and gather all your men, and we will leave tomorrow!" ”

***

Something has been wrong with Master Gao lately. He didn't drink anymore, he was absent-minded in his work, and when he killed pigs and cattle, he almost broke free for the animals.

Hei Saburo saw it all, but he didn't say it explicitly, but slowly transferred his work to Dongqiao. In this way, it was only half a month's work, and Master Gao seemed to have nothing to do in the inn.

The Dryfish has been subdued, but its effects have not faded so quickly. Those with a little insight know that the great drought will be followed by a great disaster. Or a flood, or a big earthquake, in short, there must be some aftermath.

For this reason, the demons all felt a little panicked, and even the guests who came to the inn to rub their aura became more and more.

However, as soon as there were many guests, the guys in the inn were a little annoyed. There is a shortage of supplies again.

As a result of the protracted drought, most of the grass and plants in various places have died, and even the birds and animals are gone.

The Land of Three Paths is no exception.

Tsing Yi is very worried about the increasingly empty warehouse, but Master Gao, who is in charge of purchasing and purchasing goods, has been a little passive and slacking off recently, and he has ignored it.

Hei Saburo saw that Tsing Yi was worried, so he went to Xishan to sneak around, and got some rare beasts and fruits back for emergency.

I never thought that Tsing Yi would become more and more worried when he saw these things. For no other reason, she didn't know what to do with these things.

As a servant, Dongqiao naturally asked the master to solve problems: "Don't worry, little lady, I have cooked these things with the ark, and the little lady only needs to hand them over to me." ”

Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's a shame that you still know how to cook, otherwise we can only cook it for nothing and serve it out." ”

"Instead of boiling it, it's better to send it out with all the mustaches and tails and let them clean it up by themselves." Hei Saburo pinched the neck of a white cow that looked ordinary but had four horns, and the hard hair on his body was as long as a coat and said, "These are all strange beasts in the West Mountain, just like the previous Henggong fish, there are many strange places on the body." If you don't cook it well, the flesh and blood that could have cured the disease may become a □□ to your life. ”

"This ......," Tsing Yi suddenly frowned, "Don't we have ordinary animals to use?" It's not always good to use these strange beasts. ”

"It's not that ordinary animals are out of nowhere." With a flick of his wrist, Hei Saburo twisted off the four horns of the white cow at the same time, and the white cow fell down in response, and even the hard hair on his body automatically fell off, "It's just that the seller is hiding now, and Master Gao is like that, we have nowhere to buy." ”

As he spoke, he took the sharp knife in Dongqiao's hand and peeled off the cowhide three or two times, and then raised his eyebrows at Dongqiao and said, "But do you see clearly?" ”

Higashibashi nodded to indicate that he had learned.

Hei Saburo casually threw the sharp knife in front of Dongqiao, and then said to Tsing Yi: "You don't want to go into the kitchen these days, I'm afraid that the beast will struggle for its life, and it's very dangerous." ”

"Why are those sellers hiding?" Although Tsing Yi had vaguely guessed the reason, he still couldn't help but confirm with Hei Saburo, "But those people are coming to the land of three ways?" ”

Hei Saburo bowed his head slightly and said, "Not bad." ”

Tsing Yi opened his mouth again and again, and said half-loudly: "It's just a mortal, maybe you will be caught by the monsters before you enter the demon world." ”

"They're no ordinary mortals." Hei Saburo said, "Needless to say, there are a lot of half-human and half-demon things mixed in it." plus Ren Keqing's group of snakes...... This time they came prepared, not to mention being caught by the monster to fight the tooth sacrifice, they didn't want to capture the monster to be a puppet. ”

"That's true. We also met several eagle dogs in Luoyang who were competing with us for prey. Dongqiao added in a timely manner, "Several of them may have used some secret medicine, not to mention the strange description, and they will not be killed." If it weren't for the ark's use of artifacts, I'm afraid it might not be able to hold it down. Ah Lang asserted that they were mortals, but he didn't know how they came to be like that. ”

"I'm afraid I used mermaid meat or something. Strange beasts mostly haunt the West Mountain, but I haven't noticed any other mortals invading the West Mountain recently. Kurosaburo glanced at Higashibashi and continued, "And although mermaid meat is fiercely poisonous, it can reincarnate mortals. Except for the dead wood, the only people who know the effectiveness of mermaid meat are me and Tsing Yi. Didn't Deadwood go to Fusang but to the prince? ”

"No...... Tsing Yi said hesitantly, "In addition to us, there is another person who knows mermaid meat." ”

Hei Saburo's eyes flashed when he heard this, but he reacted immediately.

Dongqiao didn't know what to say, so he looked at Tsing Yi with inquiring eyes.

Tsing Yi was silent, and only looked at the door with complicated eyes.

On the edge of the half-open kitchen door, Xiuxiu was probing her brain on the door frame, and when she saw Tsing Yi turn her head, she said in a cheerful tone: "Sister Tsing Yi, there is a group of inns outside, and they are saying that they want to see you by name!" ”

"See me?" Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down again, "I know, you let Su Xi serve them tea first, and we'll clean up and go out." ”

"Hmm!" Xiuxiu promised to turn around towards the lobby, and temporarily seemed to think of something, so she turned back and shouted to Tsing Yi, "Sister Tsing Yi, can you cook a dish for Xiuxiu when you go back?" ”

"Yes." Tsing Yi nodded subconsciously, and when she was about to ask Xiuxiu what dish she wanted, Xiuxiu had already happily run away.

Tsing Yi sighed slightly, then pulled Hei Saburo's sleeve and said, "Let's talk about this matter later." Now let's go and see who is coming to see me! ”

"It's a regular customer." There is no need to go out, Kurosaburo already knows the identity of the other party. He pouted in disgust and said, "You don't have to go out, it will not be good for him to look for you." I'll deal with it. ”

With that, he straightened out his wide sleeved robe, and went out with a harmless and flattering appearance.

Hei Saburo didn't say it explicitly, so Tsing Yi really couldn't guess who the so-called regular customer outside was. It's just that Hei Saburo has already told her not to go out, although she is curious, she doesn't go against Hei Saburo's intentions.

While dismantling the white cow, Dongqiao said to Tsing Yi: "Little lady, if you want to know who is outside, why don't I go out and inquire about you now?" ”

"Not necessarily." Tsing Yi shook his head and rejected Dongqiao's suggestion, "There are more regular customers coming and going to the inn, except for those few characters who are good friends with me, the rest are all kind." But if you want to see me who is good friends with me, Hei Saburo will never stop me, which shows that those people outside have no good idea to find me. It's better to have more than less, so let's cook the ingredients here. ”

"Yes." Dongqiao responded tamely, and buried himself in the work of deboning and chopping meat.

The two were busy for about a quarter of an hour, and Hei Saburo, who went out to send off the guests, came back with an unhappy face.

Tsing Yi saw that Hei Saburo's face was pale, and he knew that it must be the so-called regular customer who was afraid that he had annoyed him by saying something that he shouldn't have said.

"Don't go to the lobby today." Without waiting for Tsing Yi to ask, Hei Saburo gritted his teeth and said, "I've already beaten that guy out, but if you don't know it, he'll be cheeky enough to come into the inn to find you." What a nasty guy, I knew I would have chopped off his remaining paws! ”

"Hmm......" Tsing Yi Zhanger couldn't figure it out, and just said that she wouldn't be allowed to stay in the kitchen longer, and now she can't even go to the lobby, can she only stay in the room?

Hei Saburo was still not satisfied with the answer, so he said to Tsing Yi again: "In addition to that cheeky guy, there is also a regular customer, that is the mortal named Wang Decai. ”

"Him?" Tsing Yi was amazed and said, "Didn't he just return to the mortal world alive?" Last time, I saw that he was so scared, and he finally brought people back alive, why did he come again? ”

"I guess it's for someone else, right?" Hei Saburo snorted coldly and said, "That woman is a good means, and she only needs a little beauty to turn around the group he calls." ”

"It's rare for someone to be able to go back and forth to the demon world three times alive." Tsing Yi sighed, "It would be good if he could figure out leaving Jiao Niang this time, his younger brother is still looking for him everywhere, looking at his current appearance, I am afraid that if he meets his brother head-on, people will not recognize him." ”

"He's okay, but the mortals who are with him are inappropriate." Hei Saburo didn't think that Wang Decai would get lost, he said bluntly to Tsing Yi, "Although there are no traces on their faces and limbs, there is a fishy smell coming from their bodies." His eyes were sometimes glazed, and at other times he was like a wild beast without reason. He never looked afraid of my coercion, but he was very afraid of the shriveled Wang Decai. Such a trained eagle dog is often worth ten ordinary servants. Seeing that they entered the inn without any luggage, they were afraid that the large team was still hiding in a corner and did not come out. ”

As he spoke, he frowned unconsciously, and finally whispered, "I suspect they are looking for spiritual veins." "Santuchuan Inn
