Volume 5 The Phoenix Blossoms Chapter 17

Winter goes to spring, at this time it is the middle of spring in May, the phoenix flower forest on both sides of the official road is dyed, red and bright like fire, layer upon layer, as if to spread to the end of the day. Although it is only May, but this year the heat seems to be very early, the scorching sun is headed, the hot ground, there is already a taste of midsummer, the merchants and pedestrians on the road are sweating like rain, eager to give birth to wings immediately under the ribs, and immediately fly to the distant inn.

There were only two people on the side of the road, one riding a donkey, slowly moving forward under the scorching sun. Both of them wore hats on their heads, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, one of them had a slender waist and two swords, and the ten fingers of the hand holding the reins were slender, white as jade, and she was actually a girl.

These are Xuanji and Teng Snake. In the past year or so, the two have traveled almost all over the towns and cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and Qingyang alone has been there no less than ten times, but Yu Sifeng and Liu Yihuan seem to have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace of them.

Such a long journey is really hard, but fortunately, both of them have a way, not afraid of the cold in winter, not afraid of the heat in summer, especially running around like this, the food around the country is extremely tempting for Teng Snake, so he has not complained for more than a year, and he has been running around with her, and he is very happy.

Since Yu Sifeng could not be found here in Middle-earth, Xuanji wondered if he would go overseas. I often hear people say that overseas demons are haunting, the people are weird, and the customs and customs are very different from those in Middle Earth, although she is looking for Yu Sifeng as the main purpose, but this more than a year alone has traveled all over the famous rivers and mountains, and the knowledge is very different from before, and the heart is also very curious about the mysterious overseas, and can't help but want to go over to find out.

So the two of them came to this frontier town called the West Valley, and heard that there was a ferry port that could cross the ocean and reach the overseas wasteland. There are occasional cross-strait trades. It's all from here. Along the way, although I didn't see any strange people overseas, the things sold by the roadside foot merchants were something that Xuanji had never seen before. It is said that they were brought from overseas.

Xuanji listened to the peculiar customs of the foot merchant blowing about the overseas customs, and drove the donkey to walk forward slowly. After a while, I came to the inn. In the outskirts of the country, the inn is naturally very simple, but it is just a small two-story building, and the guest rooms in it can be counted on about ten fingers. And this year has gone to many places, Xuanji knows. The more this kind of dilapidated small local inn, the higher the asking price, ridiculously high, ordinary people can't afford to live, anyway, a hundred miles away from it can live in an inn, just those few rooms, you can't live, so many people would rather sleep in the open than spend money to live in the inn.

Xuanji jumped off the donkey's back and touched the purse on her waist - deflated. I'm afraid that there are not a few taels of silver, and it seems that she has to find some work to do to subdue demons and exorcise ghosts, otherwise this money is not enough to eat snakes for three days.

As soon as the snake landed, it yelled that its mouth was dry and hungry. rushed directly into the inn, but there were many people outside the inn. Pointing at something. The inn door was tightly closed. He didn't know what was going on, so he had to squeeze inside. Pushed the people on both sides to the ground.

I squeezed until I got to the gate, but I saw a big red notice posted on it, which read: Our store has been haunted recently and has been forced to close. Another high price to hire capable people to exorcise ghosts. When he saw it, he immediately shouted, "Xuanji! Come and see! Business is here! Xuanji! Hurry up! ”

When the people came to see that he was infinitely powerful, and secondly, they saw that his silver hair was exposed under his hat, which was very strange, and they avoided him, and did not dare to get too close to him. When he was hustle and bustle, he heard a delicate voice behind him ask, "What business?" You love to scream. After that, I saw the slender figure step forward, raised his hand and lifted the hat, and everyone's eyes lit up. It turned out that she was really a beautiful girl, wearing a green shirt, her complexion was as white as transparent, but her eyebrows and eyes were pitch black. The indescribable aura of the facial features, and the smile on the lips, make people feel like a spring breeze.

As soon as she approached, the crowd hula dispersed even more, vacating a way for her to go, Xuanji smiled apologetically at everyone, without the slightest hesitation, and looked at the notice generously, as soon as she saw the word "exorcism", her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to take it off, and said happily: "The silver is here!" ”

When everyone saw her take down the notice, there was another uproar, and some enthusiastic people said, "Don't underestimate this matter, girl." This inn has been haunted for five or six days, and how many high-ranking people have been invited to come, but there is no return. You are young, you are born weak and can't help it, where did you get the ability to exorcise ghosts? ”

Xuanji smiled: "It's okay, just leave it to me." She raised her hand to knock on the door of the inn, most of the people around were passing by the foot merchants here, and there were also nearby farmers, who came to set up stalls to sell herbal tea clothes, and saw that she was cowardly A girl actually wanted to exorcise ghosts, and couldn't help but stay to see the excitement, and some people ran to call acquaintances to come and see, and for a while the front of the inn was crowded with people, all of them stretched out their heads. After a while, the door of the inn creaked open, and a head slowly stretched out from inside, hanging long braids, and a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but the expression on her face was very impatient, and she looked Xuanji up and down not very politely, and then said crisply: "Didn't you see the notice outside?" It's closed! ”

Xuanji was not annoyed, raised the notice, and said with a smile: "I know, so I am here to exorcise ghosts." The girl didn't believe her at all, shook her head and said, "Don't be kidding, what do you think is a game to exorcise ghosts?" Hurry up, hurry up, go away! After saying that, she was about to close the door, Xuanji gently pressed her hand on the door, the girl pushed it several times and couldn't close it, she couldn't help but look up at her in surprise, Xuanji said softly: "I'm really here to exorcise ghosts, let me go in and have a look." ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard someone inside shouting, "Lan Lan! What are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to open the door? Lan Lan was about to speak, but Xuanji immediately shouted inside: "Hello! I saw the notice, I'm here to exorcise ghosts! Can you let me in? ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the inn, followed by a middle-aged woman who walked over, also looking Xuanji up and down with suspicious eyes, but she still nodded politely: "This... If the girl can exorcise ghosts, we are grateful. ”

The girl named Lan Lan had to reluctantly let Xuanji in, and then closed the door with a loud bang.

Is she hostile to her? Xuanji looked at her inexplicably, did she do something to make her unhappy? Lan Lan turned her head to the middle-aged woman and complained, "Mother! Didn't you say that you would wait for Tsubasako to exorcise ghosts? Why are you so breathless! What to do if you him off? ”

Tsubasa Childe? Xuanji was even more confused. I only heard the middle-aged woman sigh: "The whereabouts of the winged prince are uncertain. Who knows if he'll be able to come today? We can't just close our doors and stop doing business just to wait for him! How many days have you been out of business, and then you want to drink the northwest wind? ”

Lan Lan pouted and said, "He obviously received our letter yesterday. Say yes to come to the place at noon today! ”

"Oh my little ancestor! It's almost time to apply! Mother knows that you are looking forward to him coming, but he is the kind of person. The gods are mysterious, and they don't have a good face for anyone, so we can't put a hot face on someone's cold ass! ”

Saying that, Lan Lan stomped her foot hard and ran to the back. The middle-aged woman sighed a few times, and saw Xuanji staring at her blankly. couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and said, "The girl is spoiled, very willful, don't mind the girl." ”

Xuanji shook her head and looked around at the inn, it was as dilapidated as she imagined, but it was quite tidy, with two floors in total, and the hall below. There are a few tables and chairs, and above them are the guest rooms, oddly enough. All the rooms in this circle were dark, except for one room with candles lit.

"How," she asked. Is there still someone living in the haunted? ”

The middle-aged woman's face changed. Pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Be quiet!" That's the room! Candles are lit on weekdays. As soon as people get close to it, ghosts will cry, and at night, it will seem that someone is smashing something, and the light will sound. I didn't know before, and I let the guests stay in that room, but who knew that the guests who stayed in that room had disappeared. Later, the number of guests staying in other rooms disappeared, and I realized that I was provoking something unclean. In the past few days, I have invited countless mages and masters, all of whom have gone and never returned, girl, you are young, I advise you, or don't rush into danger! ”

Xuanji nodded and took a breath - sure enough, there was a demonic aura, the smell was quite strong, and it looked a bit of a way. She glanced at Teng Snake, who was yawning boredly, and it was obvious that his opponent was not worth his attention. Xuanji asked, "Are you mother and daughter the only ones in the inn?" Why are you all right here? ”

The proprietress sighed, "My husband died of illness a few years ago, leaving us orphans and widows. Even if it's haunted, where can we go? This is our home, but as long as we don't get close to it, everything is fine. We all live in the small yard at the back. Xuanji glanced back, but saw Lan Lan lying on the back door looking at herself in a daze, with that expression, as if she hoped that she would leave quickly and not stay here to get in the way. She was amused in her heart, and blurted out, "May I ask who is Wing Gongzi?" ”

At the mention of this name, the eyes of the mother and daughter lit up, and the proprietress hurriedly said: "It's a long talk!" That Yi Gongzi came to us more than a year ago, he was young, and he was born with a handsome and good character, and the most remarkable thing is that he has a body of mana, exorcism and demonization or something, and he doesn't blink his eyes, and he raises his hand to complete it! On weekdays, he also treats people and heals their wounds, and he really has the ability to bring the dead back to life! It is said that he is a living immortal, we have a daughter here, who doesn't want to marry him? However, although this man is powerful, he has a strange temper, he is never close to people, he is cold, and he often goes out for several days. If it weren't for the haunting of our place this time, just in time for Wing Gongzi to be at home, this trouble would have been eliminated long ago! Yesterday, Lan Lan tried to find him again, who thought that he would come back, but he handed him a letter and promised to come at noon today, but he still hasn't come. Since you have supernatural powers, girl, please do the same. Just be careful, that ghost eats people! ”

When Nalan Lan heard this, she shouted urgently from behind: "Mother! He said he would come, and he would definitely come! Just wait with peace of mind, why let this girl go up to die again! Xuanji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll do it right away." She pulled out the broken jade, went upstairs in three steps and two steps, pushed open the door of the house with the candle flame, only to hear a strange cry from inside, which was terrifying, Xuanji closed the door with her backhand, and the cry was suddenly disconnected.

The mother and daughter waited in fear below, hoping that there would be some sounds of fighting, so that they could judge that Xuanji was okay, but there was no sound in the room, but the candles were extinguished, and it was dark and quiet inside. The proprietress waited anxiously, and when she turned around, she saw Teng Snake sitting on a chair yawning, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "This official, that girl... I've been going here for a long time, haven't you been eaten? ”

Teng Snake cut and said angrily: "Wait! Who eats who doesn't have to say! ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the room creaked open, and the mother and daughter were both shocked, and when they turned their heads, Xuanji walked down with a relaxed face, carrying a furry thing in her hand, which she threw around as a wind bell.

"Girl—" The proprietress trembled to greet her, but when she saw her bring the thing to her eyes, she smiled, "This is it." It's not a ghost, it's a weasel that is about to become a sperm. The proprietress saw that the weasel was fat and big, two or three times larger than usual, and was poked several holes by Xuanji, and the blood was dripping on the ground, she couldn't help but feel dizzy, hurriedly took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Many... Thank you, girl! It's really this... What is this thing doing? ”

Xuanji nodded, "Yes." It's here to take revenge, saying you burned it with oil three years ago, so it's coming to make trouble. But it has eaten many innocent people, and it cannot spare it. Boss lady, do you want a corpse? ”

The proprietress hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, no!" Girl, just take it away! … Speaking of which, three years ago, there was indeed something that lived in the kitchen, secretly ate chickens raised in the yard, I don't know what it was, splashed with hot oil, and it turned out to be it..."

Xuanji threw the fat weasel to the Teng Snake and commanded, "Roast it and eat it when you are hungry!" Keep the skin, and you can make a scarf when you clean it. Teng Snake happily agreed, and ran to the kitchen to tidy up the lunch.

Lan Lan couldn't help but feel sick when she saw that they were going to eat that thing, and hurriedly chased after her, wanting Teng Snake not to be the weasel in the kitchen, but suddenly heard someone knock on the back door twice, and said in a low voice: "I'm Yi Gongzi, sorry, I'm late." ”
