The fish by the fire was already slightly yellowed on one side, and the cross-shaped knives on the fish were roasted open, revealing the snow-white flesh underneath. Shao Zongyan took the core of the steamed bun that was roasted warmly, squatted next to it and dialed the fire, coated the fish skin with a layer of oil, sprinkled salt, ginger powder, cardamom powder and a little cumin seed, turned over the noodles and continued to roast slowly.

Yan Hanjiang pinched the steamed buns and fried shrimp, ate them one by one, and drank a little hot soup with stir-fried pu cabbage in the small porcelain spoon next to him. Master Shi Nian, a monk who shouldn't have eaten or watched people cook meat dishes, was not picky about the meat oil in the dishes, so he sat opposite the plate of fried shrimp and nibbled on the grilled steamed buns, and also picked up the fried pu choy with a little fried shrimp aroma one by one, and ate it very well.

Shao Daochang was a little reluctant, and said guiltily: "I should have cooked more dishes for the master, but unfortunately there are only pu vegetables nearby, if only the pumpkin, lotus root, mushroom, eggplant, pine nut and hazelnut brought by the family were not eaten clean a few days ago." As he spoke, he broke open the steamed bun and filled it with a layer of fried shrimp, which was fragrant and crispy.

The master silently took a chopstick and chewed it crunching.

The grilled fish behind it was almost ready, and the grease dripped down the sticks and fell onto the flames, causing an explosion of fire. Shao Daochang finished nibbling the steamed bun in two bites, returned to the fire and turned over the grilled fish, and saw that it was almost cooked, so he simply took one and roasted it over the flames, so that the fish that came out of the knife was also browned.

While he was roasting, a large black thing suddenly slammed into his head, and the sunlight came out from behind the thing, and he didn't recognize what it was. Master Shi Nian, who was eating around the table in the distance, was the first to react and exclaimed, "Be careful! Don't let it bite! ”

Shao Daochang subconsciously flashed to the side, grabbed the grilled fish in his hand and stabbed it, the big black thing actually went straight to the grilled fish, and immediately opened his mouth and bit it.

It turned out to be a gluttonous bird lured by fish. It's okay to take a bite of it, and it just so hasn't eaten bird meat for a long time.

He grabbed a twig and planned to tie it up when it caught the fish. At that moment, a line of water suddenly rose in the river, and like an arrow passed through the strange bird, knocking it out of the pyre.

The water arrow also landed, turning into ordinary flowing water and flowing down the forest. Shao Zongyan took the fish and got up and swept it there, and now there was no dazzling sunlight, and he clearly saw the appearance of the thing—it was not a bird, but a big black bat with a face that looked a bit like a wild boar.

"Where did the bats come from in broad daylight?" Shao Zongyan muttered to himself suspiciously, put the fish on the coffee table, took a piece of burnt fish meat with chopsticks, picked out the small thorns and fed it to Yan Hanjiang.

The grass carp essence bites the meat with the tip of the chopsticks and eats it with bulging cheeks, which is very cute. Seeing the way he was eating, Shao Zongyan was too lazy to think about what bats were not bats, and buried his head in seriously provoking fish bones.

Shi Nian was very nervous about this, and went over to take a look at the big bat in person, and then hurriedly ran back, patted the coffee table and said, "Let's go!" That bat was a vampire bat raised by Seren Castle, and those vampires couldn't come out during the day, so they let these things track their targets for them until they could come out and hunt them at night! ”

Before he could finish speaking, another bat flew up again, and this time instead of biting the fish at the fire, he went straight to their table and plunged headlong into the crispy and sweet krill.

Shao Zongyan's reaction was quick this time, and a pair of chopsticks came out of his hand to concentrate on his true qi, nailed it into the bat's round belly, and hit it far away to the river.

As soon as the one was sent away, another bat flew over with its wings flapping, and in the forest farther away, five or six black bats the size of a falcon could be faintly seen, and they were not afraid of fire, and rushed straight towards them. Shao Daochang put the whole grilled fish into the small plate in front of Yan Hanjiang, picked up the knife and greeted it.

The bats seemed to have some ingenuity, recognizing him as the enemy who had killed their companions, and scattered around him in the air, revealing their cold and shining teeth, and pounced on him at the same time. Behind him was sitting at the table of Yan Hanjiang and the customer, there was no way to retreat, he swung his knife and slashed at the bat directly opposite, and his body rushed up the slope, and he shouted in a low voice: "The master will take Brother Yan to go first!" ”

The master stretched out his hand to grab the grass carp essence, but Yan Hanjiang threw his tail on the wall of the bowl, jumped up and avoided his hand, looked at Shao Zongyan's side, and lightly ordered: "Hold an umbrella." ”

Of course, it was the black umbrella made of his scales.

Shao Zongyan didn't know how he developed this habit, but he did form a conditioned reflex. No matter what Yan Hanjiang says, he will execute it as soon as possible without discount, as if the order was not poured into his ears by someone else, and after hearing it, he needs to analyze it in his mind before he does it; It came out of his heart, and he himself really wanted to do it.

The black fish-scale umbrella was opened, and several bats slammed into the umbrella surface, and immediately hit their heads and broken necks, and they all slipped down the umbrella surface. Shao Zongyan put the umbrella back away, and stabbed it in the air like a sword, piercing through the last bat that attacked from the grass.

Although this battle was not fierce, but in this high-altitude area of 1,000 meters, the air was thin, and people felt difficult to breathe as soon as they exercised a little. Coupled with the lactic acid accumulated between his muscles after a night of walking and carrying people across the water, he suddenly felt that his legs were sore, and he couldn't wait to sit down and rub it for a while before moving.

But the bat's attack is also a sign that the vampires have come to their senses and are in for a frantic counterattack tonight. Shao Zongyan endured the sore muscles and walked to the water's edge to wash the umbrella, and was shocked in his heart: "They have digested the medicinal power so quickly!" My medicine should have been confiscated for days on end to unravel it, was it because their living corpses were resistant to it, or was it a genius under their command who developed an antidote? ”

Shi Nian heard the effect of his medicine, Qingjun's ascetic face suddenly clouded slightly, coughed lightly, and told him what he knew about vampires: "The owner of this castle is a vampire duke, who has lived for five or six hundred years, has infinite strength, immortality, and can heal itself immediately after being injured, maybe it is more resistant to medicine, right?" Not only that, but these vampires have very strong bodies, teeth and claws that can tear through steel, and can turn into bats when attacked—"

Yes, it's like the ones lying on the ground.

Shi Nian looked at the bats that were very vicious in his impression, but were completely wiped out by the customer service brother in three or two, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Shao Zongyan came back from brushing his umbrella and saw a bat on the ground, and he was also silently thinking about his thoughts - those vampire bats had a wingspan of nearly half a meter, their bodies were the size of cats, and the two fangs on the sides of their mouths were shining coldly, which made him inexplicably think of those big and tender poisonous spiders in the Death Desert.

The grilled spider is so delicious, you should try the fried next time. The taste of bats is also quite delicious, and it can also cure cough and asthma with some medicinal herb stewed soup, but the meat is less and more tendons, and it is laborious to gnaw. I wonder if these big meats will be fatter? I don't know how many years I have lived to grow so big, but if I am too old, the meat is thick and hard, and I can't eat it......

Daoist Shao didn't realize that his mind had slipped in a very dangerous direction, and it wasn't until Master Shining's explanation sounded again that he came to his senses and listened to him carefully.

"The Duke of Salen told me that their vampires were afraid of the sun, of the cross, and of silver weapons, so that the wounds of silver could not be healed easily. There is also a kind of vampire hunter in this world, who specializes in these vampires, but when I was captured, I saw a vampire hunter in that town who was invited by the locals, and he was far less skilled than the Taoist. ”

"Then these ghosts will take away the house, will they turn into ghosts and attack people?" Shao Daochang took the dustpan and collected the bat carcass and threw it into the forest, went to the fire pond to retrieve the roasted fish, and busily removed the net meat and piled it on Yan Hanjiang's plate, and did not forget to humbly ask the master about the enemy's situation.

When he heard that they were not the same kind of ghosts as the ghosts he knew, and they were not as poisonous as the hairy zombies, he was quietly relieved and faintly disdainful of the ghost.

A ghost, he can't even enter and exit the void, and he doesn't know how to learn some illusions, and he builds his house by himself, and he drags a useless body that can't bask in the sun, what qualifications do he have to be a ghost!

Master Shi Nian also has a lot of grievances about this: "Don't hide it from the Taoist chief, the poor monks will also set off flames, do rituals, give to hungry ghosts, exorcise demons, and know everything, who would have thought that the ghosts of this world are such ghosts, not only can they not be exceeded, but they will also ...... me."

The master suddenly stopped, bowed his head and recited the scriptures, but the roots of his ears turned red. With his solemn expression, shaved scalp and thin figure, there is a particularly seductive sense of color.

Shao Daochang's heart trembled a few times, and his mind flashed back to his outfit when he first met, and he suddenly understood the master's unfinished words.

That old ghost must have more than just sucked blood.

No wonder the monks complained, they really should kill this evil ghost!

He couldn't bear to ask any more, so he pretended to be hungry and lowered his head to nibble on the fish.

Shi Nian was more open-minded than he thought, and after reciting a few verses of scripture to calm his mind, he continued: "When I first came out of the teleportation array, I was just in time for the Duke of Seren to suck the blood of a woman nearby. I didn't know what to do, thinking that he was slighting the woman, so I rushed over to save someone, but I called him to arrest her. There was also a vampire hunter who claimed to be trying to save me, but was injured by his bat, and I don't know what happened.

"He took me to the castle and said he wanted to use me as a blood slave for them to suck their blood. I thought that it was just bloodsucking, and if I didn't go to hell, who would go to hell, and if they drank my blood and couldn't drink other people's, it would be considered a merit. ”

Later, he was not satisfied with just drinking blood, but wanted to force the holy monk to ...... Finish? Shao Daochang turned this thought in his mind slightly, and he felt that it was a blasphemy against the master, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

Shi Nian was also silent for a while, his face turned redder, and his breathing became a little heavier. Shao Zongyan guessed what he was going to say next, and hurriedly said to stop him: "The master has rested enough, let's pack up our things and go down the mountain, and find a place to avoid the pursuit of those vampires before dark." ”

The master stood up, took a deep breath, and still said something that Shao Zongyan didn't want to force him to remember: "Later, he treated me better, and he no longer sucked blood at every turn, but when he sucked blood, he always had to put his hand into my clothes and rub it, and gradually ...... I'm ashamed that even though I have been disciplined for many years, I have not been able to hold on to it. ”

"Master don't be ashamed, it's not your fault, it's this vampire who hurt you. Since I'm here, I'll never give him another chance! "It's not the first time that Shao Daochang has seen his client being forced, he simply hates this kind of person, and he has been thinking about how to get rid of this evil ghost after sending the master back safely.

When Brother Yan absorbs the power of thunder, will it be difficult to deal with a ghost who can't see the light during the day! It's a big deal to go back to Zongzheng and buy a UV lamp, no matter what kind of light those vampires are afraid of in the sun, a white banner lamp, an ultraviolet lamp, and an infrared instrument with ...... I can't kill him!

The master hung his head and chanted the Buddha's name, and sighed: "It's not just because he is strong, but I also had the idea of wavering in my heart at that time, because I broke the color vows, and the Taoist master doesn't need to make excuses for me." He said that if I would break the vows for him, I would no longer go down to the mountains to plague the people, and I ...... He did it willingly. Later, he really didn't go down the mountain again, and he was a promise to me. ”

"Master, you!" Shao Zongyan was so anxious that he almost jumped up, and he almost had a thought in his heart that he hated iron but not steel. Committing to evil spirits for the sake of the local people's harm? So why are you playing the game? It's not about walking around, seeing, eating...... Do you want to learn the local Buddhist scriptures?

The people of this world suffer from vampires because they are bearing the burden of their ancestors from generation to generation, what does it have to do with you as a foreign monk!

Shao Dao's eyebrows and eyes trembled, and he suppressed his heartfelt words and didn't know what to say, but Yan Hanjiang in the bowl suddenly threw down the fish, wiped his hands on his tail, raised his eyes to look at Shi Nian, and said lightly: "Since the master has a relationship with that vampire, how can he think of calling for help?" ”

Love...... Love? Love!!!!

Shao Daochang chewed it in his mind several times before he figured out what Yan Hanjiang was saying, and his eyes rose inch by inch and fell on the master's face, and he saw his reddened cheeks and clear eyes, which contained the veins and water that he was all too familiar with.

Shi Nian's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, his voice was still steady, he sang the Buddha's name, and said slowly: "The poor monk really has no shame to face the two, but the evil fate has arisen, and I can't help it." I was used to living like this, but Duke Salem was very fond of me, and he didn't want me to die in front of him and turn me into a vampire. ”

Shao Zongyan was so angry that he almost laughed: "If he had the slightest affection for you, he wouldn't have humiliated you in front of so many people last night, the master was fooled by him!" Poor Dao has seen this kind of person a lot, he is just greedy for you...... Ahem, it's good that the master can cut off this bad relationship. ”

Shi Nian smiled bitterly, and his long eyelashes drooped, covering the pain in his eyes: "After all, it's a ghost, not as thoughtful as a human." Because of their strength and longevity, they vampires have always regarded humans as slaves. He treated me well in private, but he had to take care of the rules in front of those kind, and he would be doubly arrogant and ruthless, and trample on humanity. ”

"It doesn't matter what he does to me, I didn't want to ask you for help, but he wants to give me a first hug and turn me into a vampire who only obeys his orders, I really can't help it. Although I can't be liberated from falling into the dust, I still want to be a human and not a ghost in my heart, because I have to save the game party and save me from here. ”

His compassionate and upright face was dyed with crazy colors, and his eyes were full of guilt and reluctance, but he stood there firmly, never wavering even if he had any affectionate entanglements.

Shao Zongyan originally had a lot to say to persuade him, but after listening to his experience and seeing his intentions, he had nothing to say, only sighed, and promised him: "I will definitely send the master back to his hometown safely, I don't know that the master is from my ......."

He really hadn't checked the world he came from, and when he glanced back at Yan Hanjiang, the little mermaid replied on his behalf: "It's called Zhaoshi Small World." ”

The heat on the master's face faded slightly, and he clasped his palms together and saluted: "Thank you, Daoist." I was born in a small world of solid fate, and I am not a fellow villager of the Taoist, and if there is a chance in the future, I would also like to visit the Taoist there. ”

After getting up, he couldn't help but say: "I am already breaking the vows, and it is the same no matter how many vows I break, the Taoist chief doesn't have to bother and exert so much effort as this, so he specially prepared a vegetarian meal for me." ”
