Chapter 673: Equivalent Exchange
Xiao Qi never dreamed that the teasing in the past would bring so much confusion to Zidu.
If she knew that there was such a result, she would never play such a joke with him.
It's just that kind of state of mind at that time, too much loss, that made her frivolous.
Zidu lay quietly in the somewhat lit cave, and he slept peacefully, like a sleeping baby.
"Well, the power of the Red Flame Confusion is good, but fortunately it is used less, if it is used too much, it will have to be turned into a barbecue."
got the answer in his heart, Xiao Qi not only did not feel happy, but also felt very depressed.
At this time, the stomach rumbling is rebelling.
When Zidu wakes up, he must find something to eat and find a way to get out of here.
There were no living creatures in the cave at all, and the entire living creature of the Zimu Peak must have been eaten by that damn beast.
There is no way, Xiao Qi can only target the Yin River, where there is water, there are fish.
It's a pity that the Yin River is dark, I can't see things clearly, and if I want to catch fish, it's difficult to catch this kind of slippery guy in broad daylight, let alone fish in the dark.
When people are in a desperate situation, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, Xiao Qi doesn't want to give up.
Even if she goes to the Yin River to fish, she has to do it.
Knowing that she can't do it, is her consistent style.
Xiao Qi tentatively walked towards the Yin River, like a farmer waiting for a rabbit, waiting for the fish to throw themselves into the net.
I didn't expect this method to work, but there was really a fish touching her feet.
But it's not so easy to catch them.
Xiao Qi spent a lot of effort, but he was still empty-handed, and he was drawn out of blood by something in his hurry.
A fine stream of blood flowed out of Xiao Qi's feet, and the bright red and hot blood gradually merged with the cold Yin River water.
The Yin River water seemed to have tasted the delicious taste of this blood, and the tiny blood that attracted Xiao Qi's body kept flowing.
A few minutes later, the water in the Yin River made waves, and countless silver-white river fish as long as two feet thick as a fist greedily sucked the blood in the water.
After the blood in the water is sucked up, the fish crowd to the place where the blood flows.
Bang Bang Bang! A few Yin River fish were attracted to Xiao Qi's side by the blood, and along the place where the blood flowed, biting her wound to absorb the hot blood.
The fish of the Yin River survive in the underground Yin River all year round, absorbing the cold air in the ground, making the fish living in the river all year round become extremely cold.
When those fish bit Xiao Qi's wound, the cold qi on the fish's body was violently absorbed by the hot blood in Xiao Qi's body, and it penetrated into her body like a cold wind.
It's worth shedding a little blood to entice these fish to throw themselves into the net.
Xiao Qi secretly rejoiced in her heart, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, she quickly grabbed a big fish with lightning speed.
"Haha, I caught it, I caught a fish."
Xiao Qi was overjoyed, brought the fish ashore, and then placed it in a hole far away from the water.
A fish was obviously not enough to eat, and Xiao Qi ran back to the Yin River.
The fish in the Yin River smelled blood, and they all swam to Xiao Qi's side, and when they couldn't bite the wound, they went to her bare place.
The biting cold air on those fish was once again absorbed by the hot blood in Xiao Qi's body and drilled into his body, so cold that Xiao Qi's body kept shivering.
"Haha, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is always a price to pay for something that you want to get.
Fish, fish, we are also equivalent exchanges, you suck my blood, I eat your flesh. ”
Estimating that it was almost over, Xiao Qi stopped this bloody transaction.
The ingredients are available, but there is no wood, and Xiao Qi is in a predicament again.
"The ancient people all moved from Ru Mao drinking blood step by step to civilization, and it seems that if the conditions do not allow, they have to go back to the time when Ru Mao drank blood."
After looking around, Xiao Qi could only give up that civilized way of eating.
If you grill these fish and eat them, they will definitely be sweet and delicious.
Xiao Qi stared at the loot she had exchanged for blood by the faint light, her stomach was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, what happened to the raw fish, if there was no raw fish, she would even want to swallow a few stones to wrap her stomach.
Suddenly, a layer of white sand fell into view.
"Hey, isn't that table salt?" Little Seven was overjoyed. "Oh, God is still very merciful, there is salt here, and you can marinate fish."
Xiao Qi hurriedly found a stone and began to shave the belly of the fish, then washed it and salted it.
Wait for the fish to marinate and taste it, and then taste it.
Xiao Qi had been busy for so long, he was tired, leaned against the wall, tilted his head, and fell asleep.
She also had a sweet dream, dreaming that Blue Rose, Gongsun Rui, and Sima Jun were together, and they hid in the back garden of the prince's mansion to do barbecue animals.
Blue rose roasted sparrows, locusts, fish, sprinkled with a little salt with you, especially delicious.
Coo, Zidu, who slept for most of the day, sent a message of hunger in his stomach after the effect of the medicine.
How can you feel hungry? Is it possible that people feel hungry after death?
It's no wonder that people would put those sacrifices on their ancestors or the deceased, because when the person died, the soul would also feel hungry, and it would really turn into a ghost to eat the sacrifices.
But I never saw the sacrifices disappear. Inhale? Is it inhalation?
"What's that? How does it look like a fish? It's like a hairtail fish in the sea. ”
Zidu, who woke up, looked at the bright place at first sight.
When I found the pickled fish, I hurriedly walked over and couldn't help but grab the fish to look at it.
Look at my side again, good fellow, there are more than a dozen such pickled fish, more than two feet long, with thick arms, tender flesh, and no scales.
Zi couldn't help but get excited, grabbed the Yin River fish and sucked it up with his nose.
But after smoking for a long time, he inhaled a fishy smell, but his stomach was still very hungry.
"What's going on? The smell is useless, isn't it? Do you want to eat it too? Are the souls of the dead the sacrifices they eat?
That's not right. I've never seen those sacrifices eaten. "The son is depressed.
But when I was hungry, I grabbed the fish and ate it. Although they were born, the Son thought that those sacrifices were not born.
This Yin River fish is really fishy, much fishier than the fish outside. However, the fish still tastes a little sweet, and the bones are soft and chewy as soon as you chew it.
There are no spines, just like the kind of Chinese sturgeon that the book says.
Ouch, this life is really unpalatable!
Zidu deeply experienced the uncomfortable feeling of eating this raw fish, especially those raw Yin River fish meat after eating into the stomach, gradually stirring in it,
The stirring made him even more uncomfortable, and the pain made him scream "ah".
Yes! It hurts on your own. Isn't there death?
Zidu immediately stood up, jumped up, and kicked the stone wall with his foot, and he immediately kicked a stone off the cave wall.
"Ahh No way? ”
Zidu looked at the stone that was kicked by himself in shock, and then moved his legs, but he didn't feel pain.
It seems that he is still dead, otherwise how could he have such a magical power?
I can't imagine that after people die, they become ghosts, which will increase their magical power, no wonder there are those who can spell spells to exorcise demons or something.
It's no wonder that some people just invited those Taoist monks to do spells, and it was useless, think about it, when you encounter such a powerful ghost as yourself, those Taoist monks with ordinary mana, can you do anything.
Eat it, this fish has to be eaten raw, people sacrifice to ghosts and gods, isn't there a living, I am now a ghost, just eat raw, and ghosts can't see the fire, naturally they can't eat cooked.
Because my stomach is not used to eating raw fish, it is a little noisy.
The child didn't dare to eat more, and even if he didn't eat too much, it was enough to resist the threat of hunger.
At this time, he remembered Emperor Ji, wasn't there Emperor Ji on Huangquan Road?
Xiao Qi'an leaned quietly against the stone wall in the south, and vaguely saw her with a comfortable face, and she couldn't tell that it was a dead corpse at all.
Her face was ruddy, and her little mouth was chewing on something from time to time.
"Presumably the emperor is hungry too!" Zidu muttered to himself, then grabbed a fish and walked up to her.
"Let's eat something, it looks like this is not the Yama Palace, so I am a ghost, and naturally I will be hungry habitually."
Zidu shook Xiao Qi and called out to her.
Xiao Qi woke up in shock, Zidu hurriedly handed her the fish, and warned her by the way: "Eat less, this thing is a bit upset, don't blame me for not making it clear to you in advance." ”
"Zidu, you're awake, are you okay? Hehe, the red flame is really powerful, it can warm people's hearts, it's amazing.
Jun said that there is no distinction between good and evil in medicinal herbs, and it is people who are divided into good and evil, not medicinal herbs. ”
"Red Flame is confused, Di Ji, I don't understand what you say." Zidu said blankly. "Come, eat something, or you won't have the strength to continue on your way.
The hard work pays off, in case this river leads to Nai He under the Nai He Bridge, as long as we climb up, we can smoothly enter the Yama Temple. ”
"Fool, what are you doing in the Yama Palace?" Xiao Qi was shocked.
"Haha, what did you say you were doing in the Yama Palace, didn't you know why? Because only the Yama Hall will accept us, and the world will not keep us. ”
"Zidu, what kind of nerves do you have, you are actually shouting to go to the Yama Palace, what kind of place is the Yama Palace, it is the place where the ghosts are contained,
If you want to go to the Yama Palace, that is to send you to death, I think you are crazy, and you are not light. ”
Zidu cried out sadly: "The Yin River is vast, boundless, we two lonely souls and wild ghosts, we can't always live a dark day by the Yin River, right?"
The sun can't shine here, the wind can't blow, the rain and dew can't be seen, and in the days to come, it can only be endless torture, can you still talk about being happy and happy?
Over the years, I'm afraid that you, who love to laugh, don't even have the ability to laugh. ”
"Poof, Zidu, you pinch yourself!" It turns out that this guy has always thought that he was killed by the deer, and now his soul is wandering in the Yin River.
"Pinch yourself for what, I don't pinch it!"
"I'll pinch it for you!" Xiao Qi jumped up and pinched Zidu's arm hard.
Zidu howled like a pig: "What are you doing, you have killed me." ”
"I know the pain, and I still feel it, are you still a lonely ghost?" Xiao Qi asked with a smile.
"You mean to say that we ...... Not dead, still ...... Alive? ”
"Come on, come on, there's a little bit of light here You stand here and see if there is a shadow, ghosts usually have no shadows, you should know this common sense, right?"
Xiao Qi couldn't help but say, and dragged Zidu over and asked him to inspect it by himself.
