54 Food

(Cat flutter Chinese) Shi'er brought back food for Qiuqiu. Ice @ Fire! Chinese. When you open the lid of the box, there is a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup inside, which is outrageously simple.

But the idea is not so simple. The rice is yakiniku rice, and the soup is chestnut and cabbage soup.

This was Qiuqiu's favorite food in the past, and Aunt Lu often made it for her.

Because in the mountains, it is impossible to make any too complicated dishes, some game, grilled meat, and spread it on top of steamed rice. The soup is also the material of the mountain, wild chestnuts, which are very small, but they are very fragrant and glutinous, and it is a bit laborious to peel off the shell. Aunt Lu has kung fu, so she slowly peels her by hand, and it takes half an afternoon to peel a bowl of chestnut kernels. Then break off the cabbage hearts piece by piece and wash them to make such a bowl of soup.

Qiuqiu was not in a hurry to eat, so she first picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup to taste. The smell was so familiar that she wanted to cry.

"Aunt Lu did it? You're down? ”

"Yes, I asked people to go down the mountain, and Aunt Lu specially asked me to bring it." Shi'er looked at her with tears in her eyes, as if she had eaten not ordinary cabbage soup, but some kind of treasure.

Qiuqiu's gluttony is not a day or two, since she went up the mountain, in other people's territory, there is no Aunt Lu who will give her food. Her own energy is limited, and she can't take care of it.

Since the master didn't see him and Shi'er left, Qiuqiu felt that he had a dry life, without taste and color. If I had to say that there was, it would be a gray and gray color.

The meal must have been put in the box as soon as it was ready, and it was still as hot as if it had just come out of the pan.

"How is Aunt Lu? How is Aunt Yu's health? The last time I went down the mountain, I wanted to take the time to see them, but ...... "I was distracted by the ancient painting, so I couldn't take care of it."

"Everything is fine, they also heard that something happened on the mountain, and they are very worried about you."

Qiuqiu nodded, took a sip of soup and ate a mouthful of rice with tears in her eyes. The barbecue is marinated very deliciously. It was also roasted to the fire, fresh and tender, and Aunt Lu must have put a lot of effort into it. Not to mention the soup, the cabbage heart is about to melt in the soup, the chestnuts are so glutinous that you don't have to chew, the soup reveals the fragrance of chestnuts and the sweetness of cabbage, Qiuqiu eats the rice cleanly, the bottom of the bowl is shaved brightly, and the soup is drunk without a drop.

My stomach is full, and my mood is better.

Shi'er instructed her: "Put away the bowl." I'll take you out. ”

"Huh? Where to? ”

Qiuqiu hurriedly put away her things, and Shi'er naturally took her hand. Qiuqiu only had time to grab an umbrella and was hurriedly taken out by him.

Although the days of autumn and autumn are not short in Xiuyuan Mountain. But I am not familiar with the situation on the mountain. Lotus Peak is better, and the road to the main peak knows a way to the library. Elder Huang had never been here before, but Shi'er pulled her out of the door as if she had walked many times, and walked along the bluestone road all the way to the east.

Elder Huang has a lot of space here. At first glance it looks similar to the rest of the mountain - but with a few tall chimneys.

Shi'er holds an umbrella in one hand and Qiuqiu in the other. Seeing her staring at the chimney, he stopped and waited for her.

Qiuqiu hurriedly stepped forward and walked forward.

Probably because Senior Brother Jinglu said that there is really earth fire here, so it seems drier and warmer than elsewhere, which is very different from Lotus Peak. The usefulness of those chimneys is self-evident.

"Where are we going?"

"Deal with the Mind Eater."

"Ah...... "Qiuqiu's steps are small. Before he knew it, he was pulled down by Shi'er, and hurriedly walked two steps to keep up: "Is it going to be disposed of now?" Didn't you say that many sects were invited to discuss together? Why is it going to be disposed of so soon? ”

Shi'er didn't explain again.

Qiuqiu doesn't have to have an answer. Of course, this kind of thing has its own head and elders, and it is far away from small people like them. There's no room for them to interject.

However, Shi'er's face is quite big, and ordinary disciples of this kind of thing must not have a part in watching it, but Shi'er can get a place, not to mention, and bring her with her.

At the end of the road is a stone platform that looks unremarkable on the outside, similar to the regulations of Zhixingdai. Going up the steps, there are eight stone pillars in the middle of the stone platform. formed a gossip shape. Although the snow around it is so thick, there is no snow at all on this stone platform, and the ground is clean, and you can feel the uneven carvings when you step on it. Qiuqiu glanced down, there should be some runes engraved on the ground, but Qiuqiu didn't understand the purpose.

There are many people standing on the other side of the stone platform, and they can't see it clearly from a distance, but from their figure and dress, Qiuqiu can recognize the real person of the head Yuqing, and the others can't recognize it.

Qiuqiu held her breath, she didn't dare to behave too casually on this occasion. She whispered to Shi'er, "When will it start?" What about monsters? ”

"You'll see it right away."

Qiuqiu turned her head to look at the center of the stone platform, but still didn't see anything.

But the next moment it changed.

The head of the house, Yuqing Zhenren, raised his arm, and the stone pillars in the field suddenly lit up. The red light grew stronger and stronger, and the stone pillars looked almost like they were burning.

"This formation has not been launched for more than three hundred and eighty years." Shi'er whispered, as if talking to himself, but Qiuqiu knew that he was talking to himself: "I heard that a nest of dream demons that were not sealed was caught that year, and Meishan Zhenren used this formation to destroy them, and since then, I have never heard of any traces of monsters in this world." ”

But after nearly four hundred years, this formation was activated again.

Perhaps the world will be in chaos again as it was hundreds of years ago.

This is not good news.

It is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times - in troubled times, human life is as cheap as mustard, and it is possible to die for various reasons or even no reason anytime and anywhere.

Qiuqiu couldn't help but clench Shi'er's hand.

The red light emitted by the eight stone pillars converged into a point in the center, and the red light was too bright for people to look at.

However, Qiuqiu still noticed that at that intersecting point of light, a dark shadow slowly emerged.

It's the Mind Eater.

It struggled in the air, scurrying left and right, but the red light swirled around it, making it impossible to escape. The more violently it moved, the more the red light jumped.

Qiuqiu heard a terrible cry.

The voice was indescribably unpleasant and harsh, and even when she raised her hand to cover her ear, it pierced straight into her head like a needle. The cry was filled with terrible hatred, resentment, and fear, as if a sharp drill was constantly squeezing on the head.

Shi'er glanced at her, and from the hands of the two of them came a gentle force full of comfort. Qiuqiu settled down. I felt as if the sound was covered by a glass cover, and although it was uncomfortable, it was not so harsh.

It was as if the Mind Eater had become a part of the red flame, and the whole thing was on fire.

Although it has no physical form, the red flame can inflict fatal damage on it.

"Is the Mind Eater a powerful monster?"

"It is written in the book that its ability is among the middle and upper among the monsters."

Upper...... Then there must be something more powerful and terrifying on top of it.

This single Mind Eater Demon caused such a big mess to the sect, and it was only a few real elders who took action together to catch it.

If there are more, more powerful monsters, will the sect be able to deal with it?

The red light is getting stronger and brighter. The voice of the Mind Eater was much weaker than it was just now, and it was obviously the end of the crossbow, and it was about to be wiped out.

That's when it happened. Suddenly, a few gray shadows burst out from the shadows on the side of the stone platform, Shi'er reacted quickly, threw away the paper umbrella with one hand, and the sword light burst out in the air like fireworks, with a sonorous sound. A gray shadow has been blocked.

Qiuqiu's movements were far faster than she thought. She quickly dodged and stood behind Shi'er, and the two stood back to back. Qiuqiu also pulled out her sword.

Even if she can't help Shi'er, she won't make trouble for him, and it's good to be able to do a little bit.

At the same time, Qiuqiu also saw the golden ring on her arm.

The turquoise light shines through from the carved armbands carved lines, and it is dazzling.

What Senior Brother Jinghai said was not wrong. This bracelet can indeed serve as a warning - but by the time the light is seen, I am afraid that it will be too late.

How could so many monsters suddenly appear? Where did they come from? Are they all mind eaters?

It's too late to think about these things at this time, and Yuqing Zhenren and them also took out their swords one after another. Flying swords of various colors cut lightning arcs in the air, intertwined into a piece, looking like a fireworks display in a festival, and the gray shadows of the dying are interspersed, which is dazzling.

This dazzling electric light revealed Sen Han's murderous intent.

Yuqing real people, they didn't look flustered. Even though those monsters have been prepared to lurk here. But-Qiuqiu suddenly wondered, Yuqing Zhenren also expected it in advance. Even to deal with this mind eater in advance just to lure the snake out of the hole?

They shouldn't have come here if they knew it was so dangerous. Qiuqiu is very self-aware, it would be good if she didn't lag behind at her current level, she really couldn't help much. Shi'er also distracted herself to protect her, which is a big burden.

The sword light crisscrossed the city, but the gray shadow was also elusive.

Qiuqiu squinted and didn't dare to wander, but after that moment just now, I don't know if those monsters don't look down on the two of them like a small dish, or focus on Yuqing Zhenren's side, the two of them are waiting for each other, but Shi'er's sword is not swung out.

Qiuqiu lowered her head, she felt as if something was wrong, but she couldn't discern it carefully.

Shi'er pulled her and took Qiuqiu to protect her in her arms.

That bumpy feeling under the soles of your feet......

Qiuqiu pursed her lips and said softly, "There is a formation." ”

The runes carved on the stone platform must be useful, and Qiuqiu could feel that those lines were winding around as if they had come to life. It's a feeling that is both subtle and unsettling.

This formation should be used against those monsters.

Thinking about this, Qiuqiu was not as scared as she was just now, but she still did not let her guard down.

The head and the elders had already prepared, but they definitely didn't take into account that they came in unintentionally, Qiuqiu was unwilling to be a pair of cannon fodder with Shi'er here, and this death was too worthless.

ps: Stay on the road for a day, go out at nine o'clock in the morning, all kinds of delays, control, transfer delays, etc. Finally arrived at the hotel. I met my beautiful editor...... The same room is also quite cute and easy to get along with~~ I was relieved. Cat flutter Chinese
