Chapter 45: The Village on the Moonlight
The head chef sat sideways on the sofa, staring at Ji Xiu eating skewers, and Ji Xiu praised him while eating.
"Since you are interested, the old lady will play it for you. The head chef walked to the perimeter of the motorboat, picked up the rod placed beside it, and shook the rod in a circle, and the hook was too small to see, but she could see that the line was shining like gold, and the shining line pulled a golden ribbon out of the swamp.
Ji Xiu was fascinated by it, and inadvertently said two words: "Daofa!?"
Ji Xiu walked next to the head chef, and now it was certain that she was really using the Dao method, and the way the Dao method worked was unheard of. Ji Xiu felt strange, the woman in front of her gave people the breath of a dead man.
Ji Xiu was frightened, took a step back, and unconsciously distanced herself from this woman. "Hehe" Ji Xiu sneered in his heart, he laughed at himself, pretending to have the courage to take a step forward, but found that his scalp was numb, and his steps were always difficult to lift.
Ji Xiu's eyes went up, and she looked at the head chef, the head chef's eyes were charming, it was a natural Danfeng eye, but Ji Xiu saw another meaning from her eyes, that is, everyone who approached me had to die.
Interesting! Fun! Ji Xiu thought about it for a while, and decided not to approach this woman for a while, but instead focus on the Dao method she was operating. No matter how you look at it, it feels abnormal, although it is rare to use the Tao method to cook the ingredients, but I have also heard of it, but the Tao method operated by the woman in front of her reveals a piercing coldness, which is the most common in the dead.
The head chef played with the rod, which was supposed to be specially made, short and less than a meter long, and seemed to be made of bamboo. The fishing line is ripped out from the top of the fishing rod, and it seems that the fishing line is hidden inside the fishing rod, but the fishing rod is bare as a whole, and I really can't think of anything inside.
The chef makes a strange grip with his left hand, like a gesture representing the number "six", with the index, middle and ring fingers holding the fishing line, the small finger against the line, and the big finger against the line.
Ji Xiu seemed to see a clue, pressing her hand on the iron railing of the motorboat, her eyes staring at the swamp surface. Ji Xiu noticed that the direction of the motorboat was slightly tilted, and now everyone thought that the motorboat was still moving in a straight line, but in fact, the motorboat was already turning at a very small distance.
The chef began to reel in the line, and she grabbed the coals with her hands and threw them into the swamp, and when she put the line away, the coals melted into a ball, like a spherical pile of charcoal being caught on the line.
The head chef stacked the spherical charcoal on the grill, and when he tapped the charcoal ball with his fingers, the charcoal ball cracked, and a fresh aroma overflowed, and a roasted oyster appeared in it. Ji Xiu inserted her fingers into the oysters, there were no shells, the flesh was fat and smooth, her fingers were easy to touch, and then she put her fingers in her mouth and licked them, the delicious oyster juice could make the tip of your tongue dance.
"I like you. Ji Xiu's expression remained unchanged, and her words seemed to be confessing.
"What do you say, tell the old lady again. The head chef didn't seem to appreciate it.
At this time, a village appeared in front of me, this village was built on a swamp, and the whole village was made of wooden planks, and looking around the whole village, it felt like a refugee camp.
"Your Excellency Ji Xiu, we have arranged a room here, rest here for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning. ”
"Well, yes, yes. Ji Xiu jumped off the motorboat and stepped on a dock-like platform made of wooden planks.
It wasn't obvious before, but since entering the depths of the swamp, there was a smell of mud in the air, still a musty mud smell. Fortunately, the smell is not pungent, and it will not make people uncomfortable, but has a refreshing effect.
Lao Qin quickly walked into a wooden house, Ji Xiu and Igu followed, Ji Xiu pushed the door and entered and saw Lao Qin kneeling beside the bed, so he stood still and watched Lao Qin tinker with something, and Igu also followed Ji Xiu's appearance after coming in.
Lao Qin crawled out and saw Ji Xiu and Igu as if they were watching him, so he said, "What are you looking at, I'm looking for a plug to charge the tablet." ”
Ji Xiu doesn't care about Lao Qin, the wooden house is quite big, and there are a few rooms. There was a smell wafting from one of the rooms, and it smelled particularly comfortable and comfortable, Ji Xiu walked over and pushed the door in, it was a bathroom, and in the middle was a large wooden barrel, which had already been soaked in hot water, and was covered with a thick layer of flower petals. I put my hand in the hot water, felt very comfortable, and closed the bathroom door.
It was night, the moonlight penetrated through the mezzanine of the wooden board, sprinkled on the edge of the bath barrel, on the edge of the bath barrel, there was an ant crawling with petals, when the ant walked into the range of moonlight, the long sword standing on the side suddenly sounded, the long sword automatically unsheathed, the super long sword body drew a trajectory in the air, the petals held by the ant on the top of the head were split in two, and then the sound of the bath bucket shattering.
Ji Xiu, who was soaking in the bathtub, opened his eyes, first looked at the long sword next to him, then stood up, picked up the clothes of the Zeguo people and looked at them, then threw them away, and then picked up his dirty clothes and shook them twice before putting them back on.
Pushing open the wooden door of the bathroom, the room outside was very dark, looking out through the window, the moonlight sprinkled the swamp was all silver, and the night scene was peaceful and quiet.
Ji Xiu took a step forward, the wooden plank under his feet sounded hoarse, Ji Xiu didn't move, only the bath bucket behind was cut open, and the water was constantly flowing out of the sound of water flowing.
Ji Xiu took another step forward, and a familiar hoarse sound came from the wooden plank under his feet, which made Ji Xiu very unnatural, feeling like he was in a trap laid by someone else.
"Well, that's really good, the Dao cultivation is very high. Ji Xiu sighed, as if he was a little unhappy, and said, "It's like a different type of transporter than me." ”
"It's a real headache, what should I do?" Ji Xiu decided to get out of the wooden house first, so she walked to the main door of the room in a hoarse voice step by step. When Ji Xiu wanted to open the door, the door was automatically pushed open, Ji Xiu was a little surprised, because he was in a trap, his six senses ability was infinitely weakened, and he couldn't sense that there was something behind the door.
After the door opened, a humanoid thing crashed into Ji Xiu's arms, she had long hair, like a woman, and when she looked at it from a distance, it was a familiar face, the head of the kitchen who cooked in Taoism on the motorboat.
Ji Xiu looked out the door, there was nothing abnormal, but this was impossible, the feeling of crisis was approaching, and now it would only be murderous. What makes people headache is that the enemy has put Ji Xiu in a trap, this trap can suffocate people but there is no killing move, do you still need Ji Xiu to take the initiative to trigger the mechanism?
No, it's not like this, this is a large array laid by an ultra-long-distance Dao carrier, maybe at this time, somewhere thousands of miles away, there is a Dao Transporter who is using Dao cultivation and has set up this large array on Ji Xiu's head. He may be watching Ji Xiu, although Ji Xiu is not broadcasting live with a camera now, but the ultra-long-distance transporter can definitely see Ji Xiu's every move.
Thinking of this, Ji Xiu sighed again, ultra-long-distance transporter, this is a tricky opponent. After all, I don't know where others are hiding, and how to find out the enemy is the biggest problem.
Ji Xiu checked the chef's breath and found that the situation was even worse, the chef's cultivation was not weak, and now he was like a salted fish. Lao Qin and Igu are nowhere to be found, the two of them are still very weak in cultivation, and it is estimated that the two of them will not survive in this murderous array.
Ji Xiu picked up the head chef and ran out of the wooden house, suddenly feeling like his weight had increased several times, and now he finally figured out what the killer of this trap was, it was moonlight. After Ji Xiu was irradiated by the moonlight, his body turned over and over, and his mind was in chaos, triggering a chain reaction, causing disorder in Dao cultivation.
At this time, the long sword flew in the air and hovered above Ji Xiu's head, and the gems on the sword body bloomed with a brilliant blue light, Ji Xiu came to his senses and threw the head chef back into the wooden house. Ji Xiu pressed his chest with his hand and said, "It's amazing." ”
"Bang!", the wooden planks were all broken, and Ji Xiu fell into the swamp below, and Ji Xiu, who had eased up, re-transported the Dao Law Cultivation, grabbed the wooden stake with one hand and stabilized his body, which was regarded as stopping the trend of his fall.
Grunt... Grunt... Grunt... There was unusual movement in the swamp below.
Hmm? Ji Xiu pricked up his ears and listened carefully, it seemed that someone was breathing in the swamp, could it be that someone had fallen into the swamp? Just as Ji Xiu wanted to pull out the person trapped in the swamp, he found more abnormal movements. No! It's not just one person! At least there are dozens of people down there!
And judging from the movement, the things that were stuck in the swamp are gradually crawling out. Ji Xiu can now be sure that the things in the swamp are definitely not ordinary people, and where can ordinary people float up on their own when they fall into the swamp. The people of Mustawa have learned the art of loaches and are able to swim in swamps.
Then pull one out and take a look, there is no time to wait for them to swim out on their own, Ji Xiu recalled the long sword, inserted the long sword into the mud, and picked it up, and really picked out a person.
However, it was definitely not a living person, and even if it was muddy all over its body, even its mouth, nostrils, ears, and eyes were filled with mud, it would only make a sound like a baby's moan.
The Living Dead! Ji Xiu feels so lost, such a low-level thing wants to use it against me, it's a waste of my expression and my time. Ji Xiu lowered his sword, put the living dead back into the swamp, and turned over to the plank.
"Hime-so-sama ......"
Someone is calling me! It was like Lao Qin's voice, but the voice was very quiet, Ji Xiu turned his head and saw a figure in the direction of the toilet.
In this village built on a swamp, the toilet was built a little away from the residential area, and Lao Qin hid in the toilet. He shouted in the direction of Ji Xiu: "Lord Ji Xiu, this is ......" although the voice shouted was very small.
"Well, is there anything wrong with me, Old Qin. Ji Xiu's voice came from behind Lao Qin.
Lao Qin was startled, squatted on the ground and looked behind him, and found that it was Ji Xiu standing behind him, and without saying a word, he pulled Ji Xiu into the toilet.
"This village has become so weird!" Lao Qin spoke very hard, his Adam's apple went up and down, but his voice was very small.
Ji Xiu observed this toilet, Igu is also here, this toilet is nothing special, why can these two people still live until now?
Ji Xiu said: "The village is not weird, you can live until now is really weird. ”
"What are you talking about?" Lao Qin was puzzled.
"Hime-so-sama, Igu is still alive and well......"
"Chirp ......" A ghost fox jumped on Ji Xiu's shoulder.
Ji Xiu looked at the ghost fox for a long time before saying, "I see, you still have the ability to barrier." Then Ji Xiu said to Lao Qin and Igu: "Afterwards, you have to thank this ghost fox, it was its barrier ability that saved the lives of the two of you." ”
Lao Qin was dumbfounded, and said hurriedly: "I told you that the village is very strange. ”
"No, the village is normal, now this is a village under attack, now it looks normal, everything in the village can be found in a reasonable analysis, not strange. ”
"......" Lao Qin raised his forehead, and then said angrily, and his voice became quieter: "Okay, if you say normal, it's normal, what should we do?"
"Wait!"
