As soon as the three words of pearl powder came out, it attracted the suspicion of Qingyun and others, and they didn't see pearl mussels everywhere, nor did they see anyone selling pearls, where did the pearl powder come from?

With a light breeze on his face, he continued to eat pastries, but behind his back, he had his mind moving, maybe he had to go to the lake to find it.

Ping An thought that Qingyun liked to eat, so he asked people to bring fresh peach bead cakes every day. Ping'an's mother mainly agreed with this proposal very much, and it was rare for the benefactor to like to eat. Just some peach cakes, no matter how much you give, it's not a pity.

Ghost Xue really went out of her way to learn from their cook, and the main purpose was to inspect whether the pearl powder used in the peach cake was bought or freshly ground.

Dark Chen took Qingyun out to the lake, and the rest of the people stayed in Pingfu to prevent any trouble.

A large lake, very quiet, without a trace of waves on the face. They just hid in the dark and watched slowly, and didn't come out, because there was always a feeling that someone was going to come here. Sure enough, a large number of people soon came, dressed in very simple clothes, carrying a large bamboo basket, as if they had come to catch fish.

There were more than ten people in this group, and their faces were simple. Strangely enough, they didn't bring any fishing tools, but plunged into the lake.

The water was so polluted by them that it seemed to have reached the bottom and splashed around, causing the sewage to float to the surface. From time to time, he scurried up, holding one large river mussel after another in his hand.

The mussels are beautiful, and the shells are all tinged with some color. But is there a lot of mussels in this large lake? Can these humans be supplied with this daily collection? Won't it be depleted?

The more Qingyun looked, the more he didn't understand!

Watching them go about and around, they finally left with a full bang. Qingyun and Darkchen walked out slowly.

The water is still muddy and not yet clean. There was not a trace left on the ground, and not a single mussel was left, and the people picked it up cleanly.

Qingyun looked down, and wanted to jump down and find a river mussel to come up and take a look. Unfortunately, the water is a bit dirty, so let's wait until it's cleaner.

While waiting, Qingyun couldn't help but ask, "Where did Yunxian go?" ”

"When you go back to the Heavenly Palace, will you still miss her?" Darkchen only thinks it's incredible, who would want to be a rival?

"Who misses her? It's better not to come back! The more Qingyun spoke, the quieter he became, and he had always been worried about the affairs of Yunxian and Dark Chen.

Dark Chen could only sigh, how could he not come back? What was promised to him, and an apology. If you don't come back and explain it clearly, there will be no ending. The knot in Qingyun's heart will not be completely untied.

I wanted to go back with those people to see the mussels.

Suddenly, the lake churned a few times, and two large river mussels flew out.

As soon as he landed, he changed into a human form and stretched his waist. A man and a woman, looking at their appearance and cultivation, are still very young.

The woman was dissatisfied: "No, we have to send those women as soon as possible." If this continues, where will the pearls come from for them? ”

"Also, it's been a long time since I've tasted fresh meat. Gluttony. The man licked his long tongue, his eyes full of greed.

"Why are those humans so dissatisfied? You have to trade human life for pearls! "It's still a little hard for the woman to accept, is it worth exchanging the lives of her companions for food?

"Shut up! If they are not greedy, how can we eat? You should also be content, and you should be less than so many bodhisattvas, you are not an immortal, and you are not worthy of compassion. After hearing this, the man reprimanded angrily, they are just little river mussel spirits, how can they deserve such a big thing as pity for the world?

Humanity is to blame, who is to blame?

Qingyun covered his mouth in shock, feeling nauseous when he thought about it, and instantly felt that his stomach was turning upside down. Those delicious pastries were actually bought at the cost of human life. She never ate it again.

Dark Chen also felt that it was quite cruel, so Shui Qing was the next batch of women who would be sent here. No wonder she desperately wanted to escape from Pingfu.

Do the common people know about this?

Wouldn't it hurt their conscience to exchange women for wealth?

The two river mussels chatted for a while, and then plunged into the water again, busily taking care of the riverside under the water. The small river mussel has no shape and no spirituality, so it can only produce pearls like crazy. It is still very fragile and needs to be fed with blood and human flesh and blood.

Dark Chen and Qingyun returned to Splash Village with a heavy heart, and suddenly felt that this name was too noble, and they didn't deserve this name here. When I returned to Pingfu, I looked at the magnificent scene in front of me, and I felt very dirty, and I didn't want to step in.

Sighing as they stepped in, they smiled and greeted them as they looked at the peace, and they didn't know how to respond easily.

Qingyun smiled awkwardly and went back to his yard.

My stomach is still very uncomfortable, and I still want to vomit. I didn't spit it out until Ghost Xue came back with another plate of peach bead cakes, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and ran to the side and vomited wildly.

Ghost Snow was frightened, why did she suddenly vomit?

Picked up the pastry and sniffed it, it tasted right, that's the taste! She did it herself. Is Qingyun tired of eating?

"Qingyun, what's wrong?" Ghost Xue looked at Dark Chen with some sadness, it couldn't be that she disliked the pastries she made, right?

The rest of the people picked up the pastry and put it in their mouths to taste, it tasted very good. Is Qingyun infected with wind cold?

As soon as Qingyun looked up and saw that everyone had started eating again, he began to vomit again.

"Don't eat it!" Dark Chen couldn't help but shout, he wanted to vomit. Before he knew Qingyun, he would drink human blood, but it was pure blood. Unlike those who raise river mussels, the blood of humans doesn't know how dirty it is.

"Why?" Ghost Xue's little heart is even more hurt, she really doesn't like what she did, right?

Dark Chen conveyed the words of the two river mussel spirits to everyone word for word. also glanced at Qingyun distressedly, embarrassed for her.

When Qingyun heard these words again, he vomited even more, and he vomited out everything he had eaten, still feeling uncomfortable.

Everyone's faces darkened, and they wanted to run aside to vomit, why is this thing so dirty?

They spit out the contents of their mouths and washed desperately with water. The room was full of vomit, and the pastries were all fishy, so everyone had no choice but to move to the courtyard.

After a breath of fresh air, I finally got better. Everyone's faces were still ugly, and suddenly they felt that this place was so dirty.

Qingyun only felt that he could breathe after he came out, and all the contents of his stomach were vomited. Breathing in the air and looking at the scene in front of him, he felt that it was more real than the poor city.

sighed deeply, looking at everyone's embarrassed appearance, extremely helpless.

"Why didn't Your Highness say it earlier?" Oniyuki was about to cry, she had already tried a lot of pastries. How much human flesh and blood was eaten? When I think about it, I feel like my stomach is pouring again.

"You didn't give it a chance!" Dark Chen said that he was very innocent, but fortunately he didn't eat much, otherwise he would end up like everyone present.

Hearing the sound, Ping An was stunned, what's wrong? Everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Ping An walked up to Qingyun and looked at her pale face, and felt so haggard.

Qingyun inhaled, calmed down and said, "It's okay, it's just that I ate something unclean, and I'm a little sick to my stomach." ”

"Oh, does that sister still want peach bead cake? The people went to collect a new batch of mussels and came back, and soon there was fresh pearl powder. Ping An said excitedly.

Qingyun's face turned pale again, and he waved his hand in a panic and said, "I don't want to eat it!" ”

"Why? Didn't my sister like it before? "Ping An is a little lost, and only this peach bead cake is given to these people as a thank you gift. Why don't you like it all of a sudden?

Qingyun still wants to vomit, and he doesn't really want to see this kid.

"We're tired of eating, so you'd better go back first!" Darkchen had to be patient to comfort Ping'an, and the others didn't have the heart to care about Ping'an. My stomach was tumbling, and it was really uncomfortable.

Ping An had no choice but to go to find his mother with his loss.

After leaving safely, another burst of vomiting sounded, and then they went to wash their bodies one by one, and by the way, they asked people to come over to clean up the scene.

After washing over and over again, I still don't feel very clean, and my body is a little dirty.

The most unbearable thing is Qingyun, who feels that he has been so cruel that he eats tears.

All night long, her face was frighteningly white, and she looked stunned, and those who didn't know thought she had lost her soul.

Pingyun came over to invite everyone to dinner, but everyone declined. Staying in the yard didn't want to eat anything, even the water felt dirty. Sitting around, their faces were pale.

The scene has been cleaned, but there is always a smell of peach cake. They didn't even feel like they wanted to breathe air, so they waved their hands and covered up the smell of flowers, which made them uncomfortable.

"I don't even want to talk anymore, I want to vomit when I speak, and I don't want to live here anymore." Qingyun looked at Dark Chen aggrievedly, he really didn't want to stay in Pingfu anymore.

After thinking about it, Dark Chen nodded and said, "Let's stay overnight, and we'll leave tomorrow." ”

"But is that all there is to it?" Ghost Xue was a little unwilling, those river mussel spirits were so hateful as that man that they let them eat this kind of thing. If you don't teach me a lesson, I really can't swallow this bad breath.

"It's not going to be like that! Pack up your mood, rest early, and start early tomorrow. Dark Chen had a cold face, how could it be forgotten, didn't he see his little fox vomiting so uncomfortable?

Only then did everyone put their minds at ease, and they each returned to the room to change the decoration in the room, so that they could feel psychologically that this was not in Pingfu. That's when I finally fell asleep.

It was the worst day they had ever had in the mortal world.

On the other hand, Pingyun is really anxious and wants to do it.

He had some scruples about Qingyun and the others, and he never sent those women to the lake to sacrifice. Only when there is no sacrifice will the precious purple river mussel give them pearls.

The pearl powder that other cities want has become increasingly scarce and expensive. The pearl powder must be sent to the cities as soon as possible, supplied to them, and then come and decorate the splash house.

Only when those ordinary people have enough wealth will they be willing to saddle his horse and do all this dirty work.

There is not much money in the mansion anymore, and we must do it as soon as possible, and we are still thinking about how to send these people away.
