Chapter 3: The Living Dead and the Salted Fish Thief

The wind is not raging, the rain is heavy.

The mist rose and turned into a white expanse, as if a gauze curtain covered the sky.

Dong Shumin moved half a step to avoid the dripping water under the eaves, but he didn't know the point of the scholar's words, and the people in the rivers and lakes responded with their fists in a bold way.

"Mr. Brook, please."

Xi Qianli smiled slightly.

"Miss is the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Gathering, just waiting for the Realm Breaking Pill to step into the Condensation Realm. But the experience of the rivers and lakes and the sophistication of the people still need to be accumulated slowly. Let's test you first, what realm have the three people who lit the fire in front of the palace reached? ”

Dong Shumin's eyes were bright, she smiled first, and said:

"Oops, as soon as I stepped on the steps, I almost got faint from the stench, and I didn't pay attention at all."

Xi Qianli laughed and said:

"That's true, the salted fish is not marinated well, and it stinks so much that people want to ascend to heaven. I glanced into the side hall and found a mule cart. Then he saw that the girls were grilling fish, and guessed that they must be salted fishmongers. ”

"Hee-hee, salted fishmongers also have a realm? One dealer, two dealers, three dealers......"

"No, there are faint aura fluctuations around them. Xi is a fourfold realm of condensation, and he is extremely sensitive to aura, and finds that the man is the sixth layer of qi gathering, and the girl is the second layer of qi gathering, but the young man is a mortal. The fluctuation of the aura indicates that they have hidden strange treasures. But walking the rivers and lakes with such a superficial cultivation and carrying a heavy treasure is no different from a fool walking in the downtown with gold in his hand, which is too unreasonable. The strangest thing is that the young man didn't have a trace of breath leaking out. Between the world and the earth, the vitality is infiltrated and exuded all the time. There is not a breath of air, only the dead. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Dong Shumin raised her eyebrows, pressed the hilt of the sword with her hand, and pulled out half of the "Cangchang".

Xi Qianli shook his head and said:

"The boy was not afraid of the fire, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were bright. It's definitely not a zombie, but like a disciple of a small sect who goes out to practice. It's ridiculous that he used the treasure to conceal his aura, but he didn't know that the treasure itself exuded aura. ”

Dong Shumin hesitated:

"In my opinion, they don't look like bad people, do you want to warn me?"

Xi Qianli looked disapproving and shook his head.

"Good guys, bad guys, it's not written on the face. Walking in the rivers and lakes, the most taboo point is to wear the bottom of other people's houses. Since they have come so far, I am afraid that there are other means to save their lives......"

Suddenly, a sour stench blew from the front hall.

The two hurriedly held their breath and walked back, hearing the girl complain incessantly.

"Dad, why did you bring out two baskets of salted fish? It hasn't been cleaned yet. Phew...... Stinks, stinks......"

The man said:

"Aren't there a few nobles here, I want to invite them to try it......"

Before the words fell, a rough voice sounded.

"The fishmonger, I want to smoke Uncle Ben to death, who will eat your stinky salted fish? Get acquainted, quickly throw the basket out, and move the ......"

Xi Qianli took three steps and took two steps, and asked in a deep voice:

"Why did they move if they came first?"

The guards who shouted were silent quickly.

It turned out that the right side of the front hall was leaking rain, and the wind was howling through the hall. Only the left side of the incense case was clean, but it was occupied by three people's fires.

Sou......

A red shadow flashed.

Dong Shumin rushed out of the front hall with agility like a rabbit, and only stopped until the far right end of the corridor and took a long breath.

It is more than two zhang away from the gate, and it is farther away from the side hall, and the wind blows in from the front of the hall, and there is no taste. If your clothes are stained with the smell of salted fish, you will be laughed to death by your sisters.

Seeing that the young lady refused to stay in the temple, but ran to the eaves, everyone had to follow out.

Dong Shumin and Xi Qianli discussed for a while, and felt that the key to catching mandrills this time was not successful, and the key was that the sky was not beautiful. The beast was shrewd, and hid when it knew it was about to rain.

The rain is getting lighter and drizzling.

The three people in the temple grilled fish and stewed soup, and words floated out.

"Xiaotian, eat, you're welcome...... The fish smells stinky, washed and roasted...... Oops, are you sick? His hands were as cold as a ...... of ice."

"Girl, people look down on our stinky salted fish, what are you stuffing with a shy face?"

"Uncle Ma, pickled products are not nutritious, lack vitamins, nitrite and nitrosamines are high, and they are particularly easy to cause cancer...... I advise you to eat less, too. ”

"Hmph, nonsense."

"Xiaotian, if you don't eat fish, then drink a bowl of mushroom soup to cushion the bottom first. After a while, I broke the dough and soaked it, but it was soft and refreshing...... Wait, let me sprinkle some salt...... By the way, what is cancer? ”

The temple is warm and lively.

It was cold under the eaves, the wind was swishing, and there was nothing to say for a while.

Dong Shumin thought of the boy who was suspected of being a zombie, and the strange words were funny and interesting. But I was blocked by the smell of salted fish and couldn't get close, and my heart itched like a cat scratch. Gradually became agitated, pacing back and forth under the eaves of the temple.

She was not interested in treasures. That's a lot of stuff, it's not unusual.

Xi Qianli saw that his heart was sudden.

He understands very well that Miss Dong is going to take off the lady's disguise and transform into a goblin!

Sure enough, Dong Shumin asked.

"Mr. Xi, why aren't they afraid of the smell?"

Xi Qianli laughed and said:

"If you smell it for a long time, you won't feel it. The so-called living with kindness, such as entering the room of Lan Zhi, does not smell its fragrance for a long time; Living with the wicked is like entering the abalone, and it will ...... over time"

"Got it, got it......"

Dong Shumin agreed indiscriminately with her mouth, bent her knees slightly, and peeked through a small hole in the wall.

Don't look at indecent behavior, don't listen to indecent behavior, this is not some ladylike behavior.

The maidservant and the guard quickly turned their faces away and pretended not to see them.

Xi Qianli's tone froze, and he swallowed back a long list of truths.

"Hmph, he doesn't eat grilled fish, so he doesn't need to eat...... Oops, why do you drink soup, if you don't drink soup, you'll die...... It's really ......."

Dong Shumin muttered to herself excitedly, and then deflated. Looking at it, he suddenly trembled and took two steps back, almost falling off the steps.

"Scared to death, scared to death...... He knew Miss Ben was peeking. That little look, tsk, like a sword flying ......"

A certain girl was not ashamed, patted Yima Pingchuan's chest with her hand, turned sideways and said seriously:

"Mr. Brook, you're not right. The complexion is ruddy, and eighty percent is roasted by fire; The eyes are bright, and they are illuminated by the light of the fire; The body is cold and does not eat...... Hee-hee, it's not a good idea to drink soup once in a while...... Maybe it's a living dead. ”

The living dead? What kind of name is that, dead or alive?

Xi Qianli was stunned and couldn't answer.

Dong Shumin was very proud of the words invented by the whim, pointed to the three guards and two maidservants, and asked:

"Did you see that little kid smiling?"

said that she was a child, but in fact, she was not much older.

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

"Mr. Xi, a group of people with swords and swords broke in, is he panicked and scared?"

Xi Qianli was stunned for a moment, feeling that the situation was indeed not simple. Miss Dong Bingxue is smart, once she turns her brain, even the old Jianghu ignores the suspicious points she finds.

"His face is expressionless, his body is lifeless, his body is cold, what is it if he is not the living dead? Just now, Miss Ben came out of the temple and deliberately performed the ultimate light skill of chasing cicadas in eight steps. He's like seeing a sparrow fluttering...... Oh no, a peacock fluttered and flew by, without even jumping an eyelid......"

Dong Shumin's voice became louder and louder, Xi Qianli was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and grabbed Bai Dao:

"Miss, the rain has stopped, and we need to hurry up and get out of the mountain. The roads are muddy, and you have to get to Twilight before it gets dark. If you are trapped in the mountains, you will be in big trouble......"

"No hurry, no hurry."

Miss Dong smiled and asked:

"How much is a cart of salted fish worth?"

"At most ten taels...... But this car fish is pickled, the flavor is big, and it's not worth a few bucks? ”

"Ah, it's so cheap, so what are they working so hard to traffick?"

Xi Qianli smiled bitterly:

"Miss, ten taels of silver is a lot, and a small family can use it for a year."

What kind of money is not money, Miss Dong doesn't care, pointing at the guard and ordering:

"Zhao Jia, buy the salted fish for twenty taels of silver, and throw them all into the ravine. Don't forget, there are still two baskets in the temple. ”

The guard received the order and turned and entered the temple.

Xi Qianli looked left and right, looked up to the sky and sighed.

Shaoqing, Zhao Jia turned around and said, Miss, they don't sell.

"Ah...... Why not sell? ”

Dong Shumin blew up on the spot, snorted angrily and walked a few steps to the door, quickly covered his nose and retreated, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't sell?" Miss Ben didn't believe it, so she simply gave out a hundred taels. ”

Xi Qianli hurriedly stopped Zhao Jia and asked:

"Do we have a hundred taels?"

In order to capture the mandrill today, they had a lot of blades and magic weapons, and there was really not much silver. The three guards and Mr. Xi's broken silver combined, it was only a dozen taels.

Miss Dong was dumbfounded, unwilling, and had to pull off the hairpin on her head to make up the number. Xi Qianli lightly "shhhh

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near.

After a dozen breaths, muddy water splashed, and three knights galloped in. Turning his head to see the fire in the temple, he slammed the reins.

The three horses neighed, and the front hooves were raised.

Immediately, the horse's head was corrected and aimed at the broken temple.

Immediately, each person was dressed in a strong suit, strong and majestic. The shoulders of the two on the side showed the hilts of the knives, and the man in the middle was bare-handed, and his whole body was steaming white.

Xi Qianli lowered his voice and said urgently:

"Everyone be careful, the master is coming, don't act rashly. The man in the middle actually spent his true qi drying his clothes, at least reaching the fivefold realm of condensation. ”

So what?

Dong Shumin held down the hilt of the sword, her apricot eyes widened, and she said:

"Phew, walking quickly with a knife, with a hideous face, he is definitely a big thief and a giant bandit. Ran into Miss Ben's hand today......"

Xi Qianli almost knelt down, and said in his heart that this is a barren mountain and a wild mountain, a place outside the law, and no name can stop people. We are weak, you still want to be chivalrous, aren't you looking for a draw?

The wind continued to blow.

The four fields are vast, and twilight falls.

The two groups of people were confused, and they couldn't figure out where each other came from, so they confronted each other for a while.

The big man in the middle gave the order, and the three of them unhurriedly took out a black scarf from their arms, tied it back to their heads, and covered half of their faces under their eyes tightly.

The guards' hearts tightened, but Miss Dong smiled proudly and said:

"Look, I'm not wrong."

The masked man on the far right did not slow down the horse and rode uphill, and when he went to the temple, he was puzzled by the second monk.

Grandma is a bear, the three ragged clothes in the temple are roasting, and the seven guards under the eaves are glamorous, strange!

Xi Qianli smiled and arched his hand, just about to speak.

The masked man's nose fluttered, and he let out a "huh" and jumped into the side hall. After a few breaths, he swooped out like a frightened little mouse. While retching breathlessly, he shouted down the slope:

"Boss, boss, salted fish...... There are a lot of salted fish here, and a cart full of salted fish ......"

Seeing this, Dong Shumin's eyes widened and she muttered to herself.

No, salted fish thief!
