Chapter 14: Returning to the Old Place
The dream in the Kunlun mirror made my heart turn up boundless doubts, in addition to Si Tan in the dream, the underworld should be the only clue for me to find the knot lamp, so I had to go to the demon world again, but this time, I don't want to recognize the underworld, so I went to the Xuannu to ask for a Yirong Dan, and randomly pointed to the appearance of a small palace maid in her palace, changing into her going to the demon world, if you use spells, it is easy to be discovered by people who are higher than me, and the Xuannu's Yirong Dan can be changed without being discovered for a Jiazi year, Time should be enough for me to find someone in the Netherworld.

Taking advantage of the fact that the white dragon was not in Yingzhou, I said goodbye and imposed a ban on Yingzhou, making it impossible for people to enter and exit and trapping the sinking fish.
The entrance to the Demon Realm, Fengling City.
An endless stretch of yellow sand, the wind whipped up the sand and dust so that people can't open their eyes, the towering rocks, the thousands of ravines blown by the knife-like wind, the radius is hundreds of miles uninhabited, only the occasional fox in the sandbank, which makes people feel that there is still a trace of life here, but with the lightning figure of the fox flashes away.
Fengling City is the intersection of the human world and the demon world, the streets are mixed with demons, but it can be regarded as getting along peacefully, the two sides survive reciprocally, and the demon world uses rare treasures to exchange human handicrafts, which can be regarded as a comfortable life. I hid my immortal energy, put on mortal clothes, blended into Fengling City, and brought it to the fifteenth day of the month when the ghost gate was opened, so that I could enter the demon world through the ghost gate and look for the underworld. As soon as I entered the city, I smelled a fragrance in my nose, and suddenly the pores on my body seemed to be awakened and opened, attracting me to go along the incense, a ruined temple in a winding narrow alley, a man in green clothes leaned against me, as if he was roasting something. When he heard my footsteps, he looked back and saw a face full of scars, as if he had been scraped with a knife a thousand times, indescribably terrifying. When he saw me approaching, he ran away like a rabbit and hid in the corner of the ruined temple, looking at me as if he was frightened.
Well, please, it's me who seems to be frightened, okay?
I approached the fire, and saw that under the fire was a very big yellow mud block, smelling the smell, it should be called a flower chicken, but I didn't expect this ugly monster to be this hand, just cheap me. When I went down to the demon world, I didn't bring anything else, I took out the wine jug from my sleeve, and the jug was the overlord wine I stole from Bailong, and it was used to match this called flower chicken, just right.
"Me, mine." The man in the corner suddenly spoke, and his voice was good, like a kind of rain hitting a plantain.
I beckoned to him, "Let's come along, I'll invite you to drink, you invite me to eat chicken." ”
“…… Aren't you afraid? He lowered his voice as if something was choking on his throat, and he covered his face with his hand.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." It's not that I'm not really afraid, but since he's so kind and thinking about me, what else do I have to fear? I sat down by the fire, made room for him on the straw beside me, and beckoned to him, "Come, come, let's go together." “
He approached me, sat down opposite me, dug out the burnt black loess from under the fire, and said with a smile, "I said that this chicken has to be so delicious, I haven't eaten for several days, as soon as I went out today, I picked up a chicken at the entrance of the temple, hehe, good luck, and you came to invite me to drink, I haven't drunk for a long time, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, they all think I look scary, they beat me, no one wants to talk to me, you are so good, you invite me to drink, and eat chicken with me... Hehe, today is really a good day for me. “
I took a closer look at his face, in addition to the scars on his face, his eyes were red, silver long eyelashes, if his appearance was not damaged, he should be graceful, his hair was dirty, very tangled, and his body was also ragged, which seemed to be really difficult.
I watched him smash the loess clods and take out the chicken held with lotus leaves from the soil, and before he opened the lotus leaves, he could smell the rich aroma oozing out.
He handed me the chicken, "You eat, you first, my hands are dirty... "I don't know why, my heart is sour as if I have eaten a handful of unripe green dates." I opened the flask, grabbed his hand, and rinsed it with the wine with myself, "I'm also dirty, all the way over, the wind and sand in this Fengling City are really unbearable." I looked up and met his red starry eyes, which had a glint of water.
"Never, no one, ever shook my hand... You're the first. He actually cried, tears fell on the back of my hand, and through the cold wine, I also felt the hot temperature.
"You are the first person I met when I came to Fengling City, you invited me to eat called Hua Chicken, we are fated, we are friends." I raised my hand and wiped the tears from his face.
"Come, it's cold to call the chickens. We ate separately" I took apart the chicken, a stronger aroma gushed out from the belly of the chicken, I couldn't help the temptation, I tasted it, and found that the chicken skin was crispy and burnt, and the meat oozed a trace of plant aroma, making the whole chicken fragrant but not greasy, and there was no greasy feeling brought by meat at all. I looked at him, and with such a skill, I felt that he was also a well-hidden gourmet.
"How, so delicious?" I asked.
He still smiled, "I picked some flowers and plants from the temple gate, they smelled very fragrant, I put them in the belly of the chicken and burned them together, it still feels very good, right?" ”
Wrong or wrong, the basil leaves, wild herbs, and white chrysanthemum he found were all high-quality products that could be fishy and greasy, and I also found two wolfberries in the belly of the chicken. This is called the flower chicken, and it also has a faint taste of medicinal food. I made this kind of taste many years ago, when I was still a little lady in the demon world....I pulled my thoughts back from afar, and looked at him who was immersed in hardship in front of me, except for the same pupils as the underworld, he did not have the slightest shadow from top to bottom, not to mention the underworld, at this time, he should be sitting in the underworld, lazy and wanton to be his demon king.
"What's your name?" I asked
A trace of regret flashed in his eyes, "I don't have a name, I can't remember anything, I woke up from the river with a wounded face, and I hid outside the city for a long time, and waited for the wounds on my face to heal before entering the city." ”
I sighed, probably another poor person, the demon clan is ruthless, and he will do everything for his cultivation, even if he is a brother of the same clan, in order to improve, he will also kill the killer.
"Since we are destined to know each other, you can come with me, and I can't always call you whoever and whoever calls you, eh...... You don't have a name, and you can't remember anything, and when you wake up from the river, then I'll call you Qingxi, and I hope you can remember your name one day. "In Fengling City, if you are helpless and homeless, then you will eventually be taken away by the ghost as a ghost to work as a coolie in the demon world on the day the ghost gate opens, until you really die of old age. It's better for me to take him with me, and when I return to Yingzhou, I can leave him in Yingzhou, maybe I may remember my past life.
I like to take people back to Yingzhou habit, not a day or two to develop, the white dragon has a headache for this, I have a good impression of strange animals since I was a child, the nether saw the two-headed crane, the one-winged snow lion, the golden hedgehog or something, all brought back to Yingzhou to raise, and then this problem became more and more serious, the nether saw the girl who was sold into the Qinglou by the gambler's father, the widow who sold her husband on the roadside, and the old woman who lived alone outside the village and no one took care of her, all brought back to Yingzhou, and finally when Yingzhou was overcrowded, Bailong built a village on the shore of the East China Sea, settled the people I picked up to live there, and distributed all the rare fairy beasts I raised to the immortals in the fairy world as spiritual pets, which made Yingzhou clear and quiet again.
Yingzhou has been clean for so long, it's time to be lively, now Shen Lang is in Yingzhou, and it's lonely to be alone, I'll take Qingxi back, it's good for the two of us to be companions, and you can also take care of my flowers and plants, cook a meal for me, cook a dish, and clean the room by the way.
