8. Ancient Immortal Stones

"So, is it the blood of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox that protects Wang Ge Village from the fox demon?" Ji Zihan asked.

"Exactly." The village elder nodded and sighed, "If it weren't for the protection of the ancestors, I'm afraid that my Wangge Village would have been as desolate as other villages, and the old man would not have had the opportunity to stand here and talk to you, girl." ”

This is also true, but--Ji Zihan nodded and reminded: "Village Chief, after talking for a long time, you haven't said where this stone is precious." ”

"Listen to me." The village chief was not impatient, he continued unhurriedly: "Since the fire that night, no one has dared to enter that forest again, but there are more and more legends about the dense forest, some people say that the nine-tailed sky fox was subdued by a high monk and locked up in a place where no one can find it; Some people also say that there is a demon cave of the nine-tailed sky fox in the forest, and there are countless treasures hidden in the cave. Although the legend of the treasure attracted many people, no one dared to actually go into the forest to find this legendary treasure.

I don't know how many years have passed, a bold young man in Wang Ge Village, despite the persuasion of the villagers, entered the forest alone, three days and three nights later, just when everyone thought that he had died in the deep forest and could never come back, this young man appeared at the entrance of the village with a bamboo frame as big as you are carrying on your back now. It's just that the clothes on his body are so tattered that they are unkempt, and his face is tired, except for a pair of eyes that are shining brightly.

The villagers surrounded him, wondering what he had found in the forest, and if there was really a legendary treasure. The young man didn't hide it at all, he didn't care about the mess all over his body, put down the bamboo frame on his back, turned it upside down, and Hulala poured all kinds of gems on the ground, so many gems were stacked together, and the brilliance that gave off almost didn't make the eyes of the villagers shine. The young man asked everyone to grab a handful of gems and go home, and he still put the few remaining gems back in the bamboo frame to keep for himself, but when everyone asked him if he had found the gems from the cave of the nine-tailed sky fox, he did not want to say much, only said that it was a very dangerous place, and he would never venture into the forest again. When the villagers saw that they could not ask anything, they dispersed.

The villagers returned home with their own gems, and there were those who were ingenious or inlaid the gems on their clothes, shoes and hats, or polished the gems into shapes to make various ornaments, such clothes and ornaments were not only more beautiful and warm, but also had their own miraculous effects because of the different gems inlaid.

With all these wonders, the villagers were grateful for the selflessness of the young man, so they elected him as the village chief to act as the agent of a village's affairs, and since then, the young man has married a wife and had children, and children and grandchildren have been the village chief, and the descendants have been the village chief to manage this village. ”

The village chief and old man said so many words, stopped talking at this time, glanced at Ji Zihan proudly, and sure enough, seeing that she seemed to have comprehended something, his eyes lit up and asked himself: "Village chief, do you mean that the stones you gave me are those gems that your ancestors brought back?" ”

The village chief nodded and said proudly, "Naturally." Girl, you have to take good care of it, this stone is one less if you use one, you have to think clearly before using it. ”

The village chief's words did not satisfy Ji Zihan, "Didn't you say that you had to blind people's eyes at the beginning," she pinched a stone, turned it over to see, and then turned it over to take a look, "This is like an ordinary stone, why doesn't it shine?" "Which gem doesn't shine, and is a stone that doesn't shine still called a gem? At this moment she suspected that the old man was fooling herself.

Ji Zihan didn't believe his tone, but he annoyed the village chief, and only heard him grunt: "Don't forget it, just pay me back." Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch back the cloth bag in Ji Zihan's hand.

Ji Zihan is just saying that, don't let the things rewarded by the task be in vain, no matter what kind of Chen Guzi rotten sesame seeds are it, take it first and then talk about it. She quickly squeezed the cloth bag, retracted her hand, and begged for mercy in her mouth: "Hey, don't rob it, can't I be wrong?" While fastening the mouth of the cloth bag with his hands and feet, he threw his backhand into the bamboo frame on his back.

Seeing her smiling with a smile on her face, the village elder snorted angrily, "Okay, I've been talking to you for so long, I'm dying of thirst, I'm going back to the house to rest, girl, please, forgive the old man for not sending it." So saying, he turned and went towards his dark room.

Why doesn't this little fox give a reward for the task! Ji Zihan hurriedly called the village chief and the old man: "Village chief, don't be in a hurry to go back to the house, you see that I am still holding it in my hand, don't you want to show it?" ”

The village chief turned around impatiently, glanced at her arms with slanted eyes, and said perfunctorily: "Please forgive the old man for being clumsy, and I have never seen anything strange about the fox in the girl's hand. After saying that, he ignored her again, walked straight back to the house, and didn't go out no matter how she called outside.

Is that what the mission mean? Ji Zihan had no choice but to leave the village chief's hut with the little fox in his arms.

After walking a few steps along the stone road in the center of the village, I looked up and saw that it was a cloth village, and the village shop did not have a serious store name, but there were one or two sets of ready-to-wear as a sign hanging in front of the store, so that people could recognize this as a store selling clothes at a glance. Thinking that the village chief said that there were jeweled clothes before, Ji Zihan looked down at himself in a gray linen short coat, and decided to change his outfit, and by the way, to see if it was really as magical as the village chief said

Entering the store, Ji Zihan first looked at this ancient cloth village curiously, only to see a long cabinet in the door, there are several rows of shelves behind the counter, the shelves are stacked with various colored fabrics, and there are a few separate wooden shelves on the side of the shelves, which are like the headless model hangers in reality, with a finished dress on it, which makes Ji Zihan's eyes shine, I can't imagine that the game company is quite creative, and I have to praise and praise my brother after going offline.

At this moment, a young woman wearing a green cloth skirt and a floral cloth scarf wrapped around her head came forward, the woman was very handsome, and her speech was also polite, but she asked softly, "I wonder if the girl wants to buy cloth or ready-to-wear?" ”

Hearing this, Ji Zihan smiled with interest: "I don't know how to make clothes, and it's useless to buy cloth, I must buy ready-to-wear clothes." ”

"It doesn't hurt for a girl to buy cloth, and the shop can do it for you; If the girl wants to sew her own clothes, she can also do it, and the shop is recruiting apprentices, so she may wish to try it if she is interested; If the girl is lazy to make this female red needle, the small shop also sells ready-to-wear clothes. Girls can choose according to their own preferences. ”
