Chapter 221: Ginseng
I put down the incense in my hand and tried to light a cigarette first, and sure enough, the lighter was fine. It is likely that the blind old lady did not want to accept the incense anymore and deliberately made it impossible for me to burn the incense.
"Give up burning incense, light three cigarettes, and insert them into the incense burner." Huang Ying said with her eyes closed.
Although I didn't quite understand the meaning of her instructions, I still did as she instructed, lit three more cigarettes, and inserted them into the incense burner, which looked similar to the visual effect of lighting three incense sticks.
I'm wondering, which one is this playing? Cigarettes instead of incense? Aren't you afraid of angering the blind old lady by doing this?
"Don't talk next, just watch honestly." When Huang Ying said this, my body trembled involuntarily.
The temperature in the entire room plummeted, and a chill emanated from Huang Ying's body. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her temperament completely changed.
Although she is now full of demonic energy, this aura makes me feel familiar. She first looked at me, smiled and nodded, then turned her head to look at the table of eight immortals.
I was a little dazed, and I followed her to look at the table of the Eight Immortals. It didn't matter what I saw, I was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared on the table of the Eight Immortals, and I couldn't help but exclaim.
The blind old lady appeared, and she sat cross-legged on the table of the Eight Immortals. Now everything on the table of the Eight Immortals is gone, and only the old lady who is cross-legged and smoking a cigarette pouch remains.
I don't know if this old lady was a sharp-eyed lord when her eyes were still intact, but now that she's blind, her "eyes" are really scary.
"Xiaofan, you step back first, don't disturb our conversation." Huang Ying told me again.
I looked at her in surprise, her voice, and tone, why is she so like Hu Yingniang?
By the way, Huang Ying must have invited Hu Yingniang now, this feeling is very strange. Similar situations, I am not uncommon in Xiaobai, but every time Xiaobai invites a ghost.
And the real "fairy family" invited by Huang Ying, for a moment, I almost had a delusion, and I thought that Hu Yingniang was dead now.
I can't tell which of Xiaobai's magic techniques is better, after all, Mrs. Wang is not omnipotent, she may be able to learn the strengths of horses to improve her magic skills.
But after the improvement, the magic fighting technique may not be more clever than the horse. Anyway, in my opinion, there are still a lot of flaws in the magic fighting technique used by Xiaobai.
With Hu Yingniang here, my heart is a lot more steady. Although I don't dare to fully trust Hu Yingniang, no matter what, she still has a very high status among the Northeast Horse Immortals, and her words also carry weight.
The blind old lady smoked very fiercely, and the room was soon filled with smoke, so it turned out that she was just like this, no wonder Huang Ying persuaded me to replace the incense with cigarettes.
I had suspected that what I was seeing was just an illusion, and maybe the smoke was just because of the cigarettes I had lit.
However, after using the Qi Observation Technique, I didn't find anything unusual, all I saw was an old lady smoking a cigarette pouch.
"Mrs. Skullcap, how do you want to solve this matter?" After a moment, Huang Ying asked expressionlessly.
I don't know the words on the tablet before, but Hu Yingniang knows very well, this seems to be the text used by the Northeast Immortal Family, the blind old lady's name is Skullcap, and according to the rules, Hu Yingniang has to call her "Skullcap Lady".
Mrs. Skullcap took a hard puff of her cigarette and spat the smoke into Huang Ying's face. But when the smoke was only half a meter away from Huang Ying, it seemed to be separated by something, and it could no longer drift forward.
"How to solve it? This matter is not negotiable! "The skullcap lady's voice was very sharp.
It's not like I haven't heard her voice before, but when I hear it again this time, I still feel like my heart is pounding. There was a deep resentment in her voice, but also a hint of helplessness.
Huang Ying frowned slightly: "When is the time for retribution, even if you kill their whole family now, you won't be able to save your juniors, and it will ruin the merits you have accumulated for hundreds of years, why bother?" ”
The immortals in the Northeast use the accumulation of merits to increase their cultivation, so that one day they can achieve positive results and rank in the immortal class. The way in which the immortals and the immortals accumulate merit are different, but they must abide by a rule.
That is, if you can't harm someone, you can't harm a person's life, and not only will the accumulated merit be lost, but you will also be severely punished.
It seems that this kind of regulation is very unfair to the immortal family, but in fact, the immortal family often has strong power, and if there is no strict restraint, their casual action will cause very serious consequences.
Of course, in the case of Mrs. Skullcap, it is indeed possible that she will be ruined with a hundred years of merit, and she will also avenge her younger generation.
Huang Ying, or Hu Yingniang, wants to rely on persuasion to make Mrs. Skullcap let go of her hatred, which is too difficult.
"yes, why bother? In any case, we used to be a family, and I don't want to have my hands stained with their family's blood unless we have to. Mrs. Skullcap took another puff of her cigarette.
Offering to the family immortal means that the family will worship the family immortal as an elder in the family, and the family immortal will also treat the family as their own relatives.
It can be seen that Mrs. Skullcap is not a kind person, otherwise she would not follow the rules and leave Zhou Qiang a buffer time of one year, so that he has room to turn around.
But on one side is Zhou Qiang, who once worshipped her, and on the other side is her junior, and she can see at a glance that Mrs. Skullcap still wants to make a move.
Huang Ying's brows furrowed even deeper: "Why do you still insist on going your own way?" ”
Mrs. Skullcap sighed: "It's too late to say anything now, I've already started to make a move, unless you kill me today, I won't stop." ”
As I expected, Mrs. Skullcap's attitude was very resolute, and Hu Yingniang persuaded her for a while, but Mrs. Skullcap didn't give her face at all.
After a few minutes, I started to feel a little dizzy, my ears were ringing, and I couldn't hear what they were talking about. I just saw that both of them were getting more and more emotional, like they were arguing.
At the end of the quarrel, Huang Ying kept shaking her head, and her expression became very complicated. The old lady of the skullcap was waving a cigarette stick, and a puff of black smoke swept towards Huang Ying.
I was in a hurry, and the two of them finally broke down? But if you want to do it, you have to say hello in advance, and even if I can't beat it, I can dodge.
"Alas, why do you bother!" Hu Yingniang sighed again, and with a wave of her hand, she dispersed the black smoke.
Mrs. Skullcap smiled bitterly: "It's come to this, don't talk about it, let's do it." ”
As soon as the words fell, she actually shot at me, and a puff of black smoke condensed into a huge black claw, which was pressed straight towards my head. I suspect that this claw will directly make my head burst like a ripe watermelon.
I wasn't slow to react, and I was prepared when I noticed that the two of them were falling apart. I stepped back, trying to dodge the black claw, but I was eventually swept away by it.
A cold breath poured into my body along my Heavenly Spirit Cover, and I shivered involuntarily, and at the same time felt a wave of dizziness, and the scene in front of me completely changed.
In a trance, I felt like I was floating in the air, could it be that my ghost had left my body and was already dead?
No, it's an illusion, it must be an illusion! Although Mrs. Skullcap is powerful, I was only swept away by her attack, and I didn't die on the spot.
I shook my head violently, trying to sober myself up. But when I "saw" everything in front of me, I was completely stunned, why am I in the mountains?
The weather was hot, the sun was scorching, I was sweating profusely, and the clothes on my body were tightly pressed against my skin, which was very uncomfortable. Before I could react, I reached out and wiped my sweat and walked towards the woods.
That's not right, I confess that I was eager to go out into the woods and at least not be exposed to the sun in the shade. But just now, I was obviously in a state of stunned thinking, and I was analyzing the current situation, and I didn't want to move at all.
Could it be that this is also my hallucination? I've heard that the yellow skin secretes a strange gas that causes people to hallucinate, just like hysteria.
In the Northeast, the most common immortal family should be Wong Tai Sin, that is, Huangpi Zijing. Even many people will develop hysteria when they meet the yellow skin, commonly known as "bumper".
It's just that I didn't expect that the illusion created by the yellow skin would be so real. It makes me feel like I'm in another world, and everything feels real except that my body doesn't listen to me, like sweating in the hot sun.
It stands to reason that with my cultivation, I shouldn't be so easy to get hit, but all of this really happened. I'm in a wonderful state now, I'm very conscious, but I can't control my body.
"I" walked deeper into the woods, and everything was just as I thought, the branches and leaves of these big trees shaded the sky and the sun, and it was indeed much cooler in the dense forest.
"Damn, you're still looking for ginseng on such a hot day? I'm afraid that if I don't find the ginseng, I'll be exhausted to death first! I spoke.
The voice was unfamiliar, and my heart trembled, what was the situation? This body is not mine!
I don't know how to describe how I feel at this time, but it's really just an illusion, right? It's not like I'm possessed by someone else, am I?
Immediately afterward, "I" bent down and looked around, as if looking for something, ginseng?
As we all know, it is even more difficult to go into the mountains to find a wild ginseng of some years in this year than to win the lottery. Most of the ginseng on the market today is artificially cultivated.
After searching for more than ten minutes in the vicinity, "I" saw that under a big tree, there was a special-looking plant with small red fruits on it.
I've never seen this thing, but I can tell from the excitement of "me" that it should be ginseng. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen ginseng growing in the ground.
"Did you really let me bump into it? This time it's developed! It seems that the legends are all true! I spoke again.
Now that I'm basically used to my state, I can only console myself in my heart that I think I'm playing a simulation game or watching a movie.
Anyway, everything is just my hallucination, and sooner or later it will go away.
"I" excitedly took out a red rope from my pocket and pounced on it and tied it to the stem of the ginseng, which I have also heard of, and it is said that it is to prevent the ginseng from "escaping".
"Wait, you can't move that ginseng!" A pleasant female voice came into my ears.
