Chapter 9: Sudden Turmoil
Ji Xiao cut off Si Yuanchen's words, and said to the woman in a vicious tone: "Why are you so annoying, if you don't bring it, you don't bring it, where is there so much nonsense."
After speaking, he pulled Si Yuanchen with a black face and turned around and left.
The woman knelt on the ground, crying breathlessly and said, "Please... Please, take me away! I'm so scared here, he... They're going to get me arrested..."
"Please, please......"
Feeling that Ji Xiao's footsteps were getting heavier and heavier, Si Yuanchen sighed lightly, "What's the matter?" There are some things that you can never solve without facing them! And, she's just an innocent person!! ”
Ji Xiao was not surprised at all that Si Yuanchen could see through his heart, although Si Yuanchen was indifferent and taciturn, he was careful and thoughtful. Treat people and things, say when you should say, and never say more when you shouldn't say, so that the people who get along with him are comfortable, comfortable and at ease.
"I, I just can't get past that level in my heart!"
"Some things are looked at from a different angle, and maybe you will find a difference."
"I... Forget it, if she wants to follow, let her follow! ”
When the woman saw that they agreed to follow her, she cried and laughed and thanked them again and again. During the conversation on the road, I learned that the woman's name was Su Ying, and she was indeed from the twenty-first century like Ji Xiao, as for how she came from the underworld? Su Ying said that she didn't know, she only knew that before she was unconscious, she was strangled by her neck from behind, and then she woke up and was already led by Ghost Liu.
Because of Su Ying, the three of them walked very slowly on the road. Along the way, in addition to Su Ying's slow movements, she was quiet, gentle and careful, and very obedient to Ji Xiao and the others. But Ji Xiao found that she seemed to be very resistant to Si Yuanchen, and when Si Yuanchen was there, Su Ying followed them quietly and silently. When Si Yuanchen was exploring the way to buy food, Su Ying would stick to Ji Xiao and ask for warmth, talking about the east and the west.
It stands to reason that it was Si Yuanchen who saved Su Ying with fifty years of mana, and Ji Xiao has always been disgusted with Su Ying because of Xiao Min, and Su Ying should be more resistant to Ji Xiao getting close to Si Yuanchen. But Su Ying resisted Si Yuanchen and liked Ji Xiao. Regarding Su Ying's abnormal behavior, Ji Xiao automatically attributed it to the fact that Si Yuanchen looked indifferent all day long, which scared Su Ying. There is also the fact that when I go out, the villagers have tears in their eyes when they see the villagers, Su Ying and herself are both from the 21st century, and they have more topics to talk about.
"You guys take a rest here, I'll go find some water to drink nearby."
Si Yuanchen saw that Su Ying's steps were getting slower and slower, her face was pale and her lips were dry, so she said out loud.
"I'll go with you!" Ji Xiao caught up with his boss Yuanchen and said.
"No need, you can rest here, I'll be back soon."
"I'm not tired and don't need to rest, Su Ying, you just stay here, don't run around." After a few words of advice to Su Ying, Ji Xiao naturally pulled Si Yuanchen and walked forward.
Looking at the hands held by Ji Xiao and Si Yuanchen, Su Ying's eyes flashed.
"Hey! Do you have a question? Ji Xiao tilted his head slightly and looked at Si Yuanchen.
"Well, you ask!" It's still a faint tone, a faint expression.
"You spent fifty years of mana to buy Su Ying to relieve me, right?" In response to Ji Xiao's question, Si Yuanchen just glanced at Ji Xiao lightly, then waved his sleeves and left.
Ji Xiao, who was looking forward to it just now, just ate a closed door.
Cut, who cares if you're or not!
Ji Xiao stood there a little angrily, thinking that Si Yuanchen would stop and wait for him, but who knew that he walked forward without looking back.
"Hey, hey, hey," Ji Xiao harassed Si Yuanchen all the way, "Is it?" ”
"Why don't you speak?"
"Are you angry?" Si Yuanchen didn't react at all.
An uneasy feeling surged into Ji Xiao's heart, making him like a duckweed in the water. As if to make up for the slightest uneasiness in his heart, Ji Xiao harassed Si Yuanchen even more frantically.
"Can you follow me quietly." This sentence carried Si Yuanchen's consistent indifference.
But Ji Xiao just felt that something was wrong.
"Oh." Ji Xiao responded with some stumbling eyes, and obediently followed behind Si Yuanchen.
This inexplicable low pressure made Ji Xiao not speak until he found the water source.
"Boss, how do you sell the water here?" Si Yuanchen stood in one of the places selling water and asked.
After all, this is the underworld, and it is still difficult to obtain water from the human world.
"It's not much, it's just 5 days of effort." The boss looked at Si Yuanchen with an extraordinary appearance, and some lions couldn't help but open their mouths.
The difference in the realm directly determines the difference in the vision, and the skill of these 5 days is not a matter for Si Yuanchen at all. After buying water quickly, Si Yuanchen looked at Ji Xiao, who was still standing behind him, and frowned.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly?" Si Yuanchen's tone was a little wrong: "Don't come over to drink water?" ”
"Uh-oh." Ji Xiao answered twice.
Maybe there is nothing wrong with others saying this, but it is very wrong to say it from Si Yuanchen's mouth. He is Si Yuanchen, who is known for his indifference in the fairy world, and his usual tone of speech may be with personal emotions?
The two fell into an eerie silence, and even Ji Xiao, who was usually very jumpy, did not stir up the topic.
A roar of rage succeeded in breaking the silence.
"It's right there, don't let him run!" An eerie roar with a little anger came.
Ji Xiao subconsciously followed the direction of the voice to look over, but found that several little ghosts were staring at him.
What's going on? Did you come to me?
Si Yuanchen on the side also felt that something was wrong, but the two of them had just come to the underworld, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Before the two of them could react, the little ghost in the lead had already brought a large group of soldiers from the underworld to surround Ji Xiao and Si Yuanchen.
"That's them." The ghost panted a little, "They are the ones who stole the holy relic of our underworld, the Demon Ling Grass"
The ordinary imps in the underworld who had originally gathered around the two of them immediately dispersed in a hurry when they heard Mo Lingcao, for fear of implicating themselves.
Demon Ling Grass? What's that? Ji Xiao looked at the ghosts in front of him with a confused expression.
Let's not talk about whether he stole this Demon Ling Grass or not, he doesn't know what this thing looks like.
How do you steal it?
Si Yuanchen's thinking was not as simple as Ji Xiao's, although he hadn't seen what this Demon Ling Grass was? But after living in the fairy world for so many years, I still have a little hearing of some basic things.
Demon Ling Grass is a sacred object in the underworld, if it is an ordinary ghost, it can be brought back to life, and if it is a ghost with cultivation, it can be used to obtain nearly 10,000 years of power.
If Si Yuanchen and Ji Xiao were imps in the underworld, they would inevitably be tempted when they saw Mo Lingcao.
It's definitely not as simple as it seems. In the case of everything unknown, we can only respond to all changes with the same.
Si Yuanchen, whose brain was running rapidly, did not forget to use the sound transmission to convey what he knew so far to Ji Xiao.
Si Yuanchen's voice suddenly appeared in his head, which made Ji Xiao's eyes widen.
What's going on?
[Don't panic, just listen to me. 】
As if sensing Ji Xiao's panic, Si Yuanchen spoke out to soothe him.
Ji Xiao didn't know how to transmit this kind of spell, so he could only blink his eyes to show that he was listening.
[Demon Ling Grass is ......] Si Yuanchen explained little by little, and Ji Xiao's expression changed from curiosity at the beginning to seriousness.
I'm afraid it's really not that simple.
The ghost didn't see the interaction between the two people at the scene, and just looked at them with a fierce expression.
"You are not allowed to go." The Ghost said viciously, "You must hand over the Demon Ling Grass, or you won't want to get out alive." ”
"Dare to ask, do you have any evidence?" Si Yuanchen didn't seem to be frightened by the battle in front of him.
Ji Xiao stood quietly beside him.
He clearly knew that the biggest help he could help Si Yuanchen now at this moment was to quietly not speak. Keep silent and don't trouble him.
It's unwilling, but that's the reality.
The ghost seemed to have expected Si Yuanchen to ask such a question, and he looked confident.
"Do you think Uncle Ben will come to arrest you without any evidence?" The ghost swore and said, "Come on, come on, on the evidence." ”
Under the gaze of the crowd, a soldier was brought up.
"This is the soldier guarding the Demon Ling Grass." The ghost said, "I'll read his memories in public right now." ”
"If you appear in his memory, it will be ironclad!" After speaking, without waiting for Si Yuanchen and the others' justification, he directly resorted to the spell.
A golden flash flashed, and a golden barrier appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
A claustrophobic alley appeared in front of everyone, and a black grass could be faintly seen in front of them.
This should be the Demon Ling Grass, but it's a pity that I can't see its true face clearly.
After a while, "Si Yuanchen" and "Ji Xiao" appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Seeing this, Ji Xiao's eyelids twitched, why was he here?
The soldiers in the barrier seemed to want to question the purpose of "Si Yuanchen" and "Ji Xiao".
However, the two people inside were not very friendly, and without saying a word, "Si Yuanchen" waved his sleeves casually, and the soldier fainted.
The barrier suddenly went black, and when it lit up. The black grass had disappeared from view.
Although everyone did not speak, their eyes were already obvious.
As if to say, yes, you're the one who stole the Moling Grass.
Si Yuanchen didn't know how to explain it for a while, there was indeed nothing wrong with "himself" above.
"Hurry up and hand over the Moling Grass, or you will be executed immediately." It seemed that Si Yuanchen's silence had ignited the arrogance of the ghost even more.
"What does a memory alone say?" Si Yuanchen didn't speak, and Ji Xiao was a little anxious, "What if his memory is tampered with!" ”
Ji Xiao's words sounded reasonable, but anyone with a discerning eye couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
It turns out that there is a spell to modify the memory, huh?
"Hahaha!" The ghost didn't hold back and laughed directly, "It's the first time I've known that there is a spell to modify memories in this world!" ”
Ji Xiao's face turned red, can he be blamed for this? He didn't know if there was such a spell, but he was just anxious to see that Si Yuanchen hadn't spoken for a long time.
"The world is so big that there are no surprises," Si Yuanchen said lightly, "Besides, how do you know that someone is not pretending to be us?" ”
"Why should you let us hand over the Demon Ling Grass?"
This is reasonable, and it is indeed possible.
