Emperor Nandi . Uneven Road Chapter 009 Strange Soup
"Young master, there is light ahead, let's go see if there is a place to rest!"
Xiao Jiu and Mu Liansheng have been gone for a whole day.
Suddenly seeing a faint light coming from ahead, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but cry out happily.
"How can there be people living in the mountains?"
Mu Liansheng was a little curious.
"Let's go check it out first!"
Xiao Jiu drove the carriage and hurried away.
The two of them soon arrived at the light source.
When I got out of the carriage, I saw a valley in front of me, and a boxy stone house was located at the junction of two mountain ranges.
Near the stone house is a barren field of weeds.
The more Mu Liansheng looked at it, the more strange he felt, there were tall trees everywhere in this vicinity, but there was only grass here, and the range of weeds was only about 100 meters.
However, they are only distributed in the vicinity of the stone houses, and there is grass in front of the stone houses, but it seems that there are often people moving in front of the doors, so it is not as barren as other places.
The stone door was wide enough for one person to enter, and if it was a little fatter, it would not be able to squeeze in.
From the outside, the inside is very deep, and there is a slight weirdness.
The candlelight inside seemed endless, and it looked like a room but it didn't.
"The shape of this stone house is curious, boxy, and covered by weeds. ”
Xiao Jiu looked at the stone house in front of him, blinking his beautiful eyes, and couldn't see the weirdness of the stone house at all.
A hundred meters away were tall trees, which blocked some of the moonlight, so that the stone house seemed even darker, and there was a tingling feeling.
"Young master, let's go in and see if we can sleep inside!"
"Little Jiu!"
Mu Liansheng also wanted to stop Xiao Jiu, but her body was too slender, so she just stepped into the stone house.
Mu Liansheng hurriedly followed, and her body seemed to have slipped into the crack in the stone.
At the moment when Mu Liansheng and Xiao Jiu entered the stone gate, a faint black mist suddenly floated around the stone house, and the black mist shrouded the moonlight. It makes the whole stone house even more gloomy.
Suddenly, behind the stone house, a pile of white bones began to stir, as if they had seen their prey.
Immediately after, large and small white skeletons around the stone house emerged from the ground.
Mu Liansheng and Xiao Jiu didn't know about the situation outside the stone house.
Still observing with peace of mind. The stone house is not as spacious as it looks from the outside. But there is a passage that goes all the way in, and it seems that there is no end.
Candles were placed on both sides of the passage.
"Xiao Jiu, this place is full of weirdness, don't be too reckless!"
"Good!"
Xiao Jiu nodded, she also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
"Now that we're all in, we might as well keep going inside and see what the hell this is. ”
Mu Liansheng said, and had already stepped forward.
"Young master, do you think there will be ghosts here?"
"Huh?"
Mu Liansheng suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Rest assured, there are no ghosts in this world. ”
Xiao Jiu is a girl's family, although Mu Liansheng feels that this house is very weird, but he must not say that there are ghosts here, and he does not believe in ghosts and gods.
Xiao Jiu and Mu Liansheng kept moving forward, but they felt that there was no end.
"Young master, when we looked outside just now, the stone house was not very big, but after coming in, how can it be immeasurably big like the stone house?"
Xiao Jiu noticed that something was wrong at this time.
"Well, the stone house seems to be just a door, don't you think that the passage we are walking on is gradually sloping down?"
Mu Liansheng looked at the passage under her feet and said slowly.
"Young master, you mean we're going underground?"
Xiao Jiu's beautiful eyes flashed like stars, although there was no frightened look, but his face was full of shock.
"Hmm!"
Mu Liansheng found that they were now going underground, but the tilt of this passage was not so obvious, and it was impossible to see it if they didn't look closely.
"Childe, there's light ahead!"
Five hundred meters away from the stone house, Xuanluo and the others stopped, and they also spotted the candlelight in front of them.
"Looks like there's somewhere to rest!"
Zi Luo stretched happily.
"Go quickly, don't linger, don't panic whatever you see, ahead, it's not clean!"
Childe Youbai said hurriedly in the sedan chair.
Zi Luo and Xuan Luo and the four strong men were all slightly stunned, they had never heard their son-in-law so flustered. In their consciousness, their son-in-law is extremely stable and can face whatever happens.
But at this moment, a strong uneasiness can be felt in his tone.
The four strong men immediately left, the sedan chair seemed to float in the clouds, and it felt that none of the four people's feet touched the ground.
"It's Ryoma!"
When Zi Luo saw Mu Liansheng and their dragon horses, he couldn't help but cry out.
"Looks like someone went in!"
Childe Yubai is worried.
"Childe, are you going or entering?"
Xuanluo looked at the sedan chair and said in a deep voice.
"It's weird around this house, let's go!"
Childe Youbai did not hesitate and made a decisive decision.
"The people in there?"
Shiro looked at the trembling Ryoma, and then at the strange stone house, as if what he saw inside was not a candle flame, but glowing eyes.
Goosebumps instantly appeared all over my body.
"It's none of our business, let's go!"
Then the sedan car got up and quickly moved away from the stone house, except for Ryoma, who was still tied to a tree, and the shadow of a white skeleton in his eyes.
"Young master, there is someone ahead!"
Xiao Jiu suddenly shouted.
"Huh?"
Although Mu Liansheng has not yet stepped into the path of martial arts, he has been working hard to improve his spiritual power, and he now has forty-order spiritual power, so it stands to reason that he can sense that someone is coming.
But he didn't find it at all, but it was Xiao Jiu .
Mu Liansheng looked up and saw a rickety mother-in-law walking towards Mu Liansheng.
She was on crutches and carrying a small wooden bucket in her hand, and her face was wrinkled. It looks extremely ugly.
He had white hair and was dressed in an extremely old gray robe, but he looked very clean.
"There's a guest from afar, it's my wife, I'm slacking, child, come in. ”
The mother-in-law didn't move on, but sat up on the road, and didn't look at Mu Liansheng and them, but she just knew the existence of him and Xiao Jiu.
"Mother-in-law, we have no intention of disturbing, please forgive my mother-in-law!"
Mu Liansheng bowed slightly, and then walked straight over, Xiao Jiu pulled the corner of Mu Liansheng's clothes.
"It's fine!"
Mu Liansheng patted her hand and signaled her not to be too nervous, but she still pulled the corner of his clothes, and the two walked over like this.
"Mother-in-law!"
Mu Liansheng sat down straight, while Xiao Jiu stood vigilantly, and in her right palm, a faint purple thunderbolt loomed.
"Child, old woman, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
"Wait for me?"
Mu Liansheng bowed her head slightly and found that the mother-in-law looked really ugly, ugly and a little scary, the wrinkles on her face were like scars, and her whole face was dense, as if she had been cut by countless knives when she was young.
"Yes, I made you a little soup, old woman, and I'm waiting for you to come. ”
Then she opened the lid of the small barrel beside her.
The moment Mu Liansheng saw the soup, he was so thirsty that he couldn't bear it, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his throat.
Thirsty!
Extremely thirsty!
Very, very thirsty!
Mu Liansheng felt that there was no water in her throat at this time, like a dead wood that had been dry for ten years.
At this time, there is only one desire, water!
"Child, drink it, it's all for you, but do what you can, don't drink too much of this soup. ”
I saw that the mother-in-law handed Mu Liansheng a water scoop.
Mu Liansheng didn't say a word, took the water scoop, scooped a full scoop, and then sent it directly into his mouth.
"Young master!"
Xiao Jiu wanted to stop it, but Mu Liansheng drank it to the fullest.
"Delicious!"
In the blink of an eye, the soup in the scoop had been drunk by Mu Liansheng.
Mu Liansheng drank eight scoops in a row, and then he felt a little thirsty.
"Kid, you can't drink too much of this soup!"
The mother-in-law couldn't help but be a little anxious when she saw that Mu Liansheng had almost finished drinking the small bucket of soup, but she was more shocked.
"Mother-in-law, this soup is so delicious. ”
Then Mu Liansheng scooped another scoop and drank it cleanly.
The mother-in-law and Xiao Jiu looked at it blankly, is this soup really that delicious?
Xiao Jiu felt that the soup was very disgusting, and in her eyes it was like water with, but Mu Liansheng couldn't extricate herself from drinking it.
"Mother-in-law, this soup is really delicious, what's the name? I'll go back and have time to ask Xiao Jiu to help me boil a bucket." ”
The mother-in-law's eyes lit up, she looked at Mu Liansheng in disbelief, and while closing the bucket, she said slowly: "I have boiled this soup for seven hundred years, and ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to boil it." ”
"Seven hundred years?"
Mu Liansheng and Xiao Jiu cried out in amazement, doesn't this mean that the mother-in-law in front of them has lived for more than seven hundred years?
How is that possible?
"This soup is called Meng Po soup!"
The old woman picked up the cane beside her again, looking like she was about to leave.
"What is Meng Po Soup?"
Mu Liansheng glanced at Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu shook his head, and then said softly: "It should be that the mother-in-law's name is Meng Po, so the soup she boils is called Meng Po soup." ”
"Huh!"
Hearing this explanation, Meng Po smiled and said, "The Holy Emperor's hand has actually become so smart, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”
Then Meng Po glanced at Mu Liansheng: "Jiu'er, it's time to wake up!"
"Mother-in-law, what, what do you mean .
Mu Liansheng was about to ask, but he suddenly fainted, and Xiao Jiu had already collapsed a second ago.
The next day, the sun shone through the cracks in the trees and into every corner of the ghost forest.
"Huh, it's dawn?"
Xiao Jiu and Mu Liansheng opened their eyes at the same time.
"Xiao Jiu, when did we fall asleep?"
Mu Liansheng looked at Xiao Jiu and said.
"Ahh
Xiao Jiu roared, Mu Liansheng was startled, and took a closer look, "Grave!"
What Mu Liansheng and Xiao Jiu entered last night was not a stone house at all, but a tomb, looking at the grave covered with weeds, Xiao Jiu and Mu Liansheng were covered with goosebumps.
"Young master, we, aren't we dreaming?"
Xiao Jiu asked with a shocked face, his hands were trembling, and his back was in cold sweat.
"Let's go!"
