Escape Chapter 47 Living in the Temple
Qi Xiaoting was very remorseful, and really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. I felt sorry for Long Yi again, and my body couldn't help but break free.
Long Yi couldn't guess her thoughts, so he pressed her into his arms, kissed her forehead, and said in a soft voice: "Eat a trench and grow wisdom, as long as you remember this lesson." The Hellfire is there, and Jiaona has it now. When I'm physically strong, I'll have as much as I want. ”
What a kind Ryuichi! He is a real dragon, a divine beast, and he is a mortal woman, and he has made such a big mistake and comforted him with good words, he is so sorry for him!
The more Qi Xiaoting thought about it, the more she regretted it, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was wrong, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't stand Long Yi. struggled a few times and didn't break free from his embrace, so he simply hugged his waist and cried in his arms.
It didn't matter if she cried, Long Yi hugged her tighter, and gently patted her back with his hand like a child.
Qi Xiaoting is ashamed, regretful, and sweet. Stuck in Long Yi's arms, he didn't dare to raise his head for anything. The crying also changed from "whining" to "humming", and later to "snoring".
She was so weak that after this struggle and crying, her strength was exhausted, and she fell asleep in a deep sleep.
Long Yi quickly shook her awake and said kindly, "If you want to be sleepy, go out and sleep quickly." If you're not sleepy, we'll talk for a while. ”
Qi Xiaoting rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said with a snort: "Let's talk for a while." It's not dark outside, and there's nowhere to sleep when you go out. ”
Ryuichi: "That's fine. I think so, we have already left the boundaries of Cheonan Province, and it is impossible for there to be a notice from Lifu posted here. In the past, it was also the solar term when the weather was freezing and I went to the village to rent a house and live, while recuperating my body, I learned some small spells. Practice your hands in the folk first. When you're strong and the weather is warm, we'll head east. At that time, I will be able to go out, and the itinerary will definitely be several times better. ”
"How long is this going to take?" Qi Xiaoting said regretfully.
"No way, you're too weak. Another is that your cultivation knowledge is too poor, and you need to start from the basics. After you settle down, you can appear as a folk incense official (witch god Han) and give people a good look. Deficiency disease, feng shui, exorcism of ghosts and demons, all aspects are involved, and there is a perceptual understanding of cultivation first. ”
"However, I don't know anything about Xiangguan, how can I show people things?"
"I'll teach you."
"You ......"
"When I first became a monk, I worked as a traveling Taoist priest for several years in order to make a living and interact with people more. There is no shortage of ghosts and demons in the folk. ”
"You've also caught youkai in the countryside?"
"I've been caught, and I've received commissions from others."
"This can also make money?"
"Yes, what else do the witches and gods in the countryside eat?"
"However, when people ask me in person, I can't say anything clearly, so I can't flash into the space in front of people and ask you, right?"
"This ......" Long Yi thought for a moment and said, "You give me what the other party said briefly, and then I will tell you what I want to say in a telephonic voice." When necessary, let Jiaona come out. Or, you catch a little demon beast and I'll take a mind and observe the outside. Let's do this well in one space and one outside the other. ”
Qi Xiaoting smiled: "Isn't that a double reed?" ”
Long Yi: "This is the case at the beginning, and in the future, when you master it, I won't care about you." After you settle down, you go and buy some yellow paper, cinnabar, and a tube of brushes, and I'll teach you how to draw the sigils.
"This is widely used among the people, what are the exorcism charms, town house charms, and health charms...... More, everything involved in the folk witches and gods, I will teach you everything, and I promise that you will learn them all
"However, the Xiangguan are all locals, and you are so young, no one knows that you can see things. You can first use the fortune teller as a disguise, this has a sign: pick a hexagram curtain with the word 'hexagram' written on the bamboo pole, and put a gossip map in front of you, which can prove your identity. If you come across someone who asks about illness or sees supernatural events, you can go there. ”
Qi Xiaoting is very uninterested in fortune telling. But this was what Long Yi said, and he had just experienced a mistake in refining the Dark Fire, Qi Xiaoting didn't dare to disobey him, so she had to agree.
Although Qi Xiaoting didn't understand whether to stay or not to leave, she still accepted it: her body was thin into a handful of bones, and she walked like stepping on cotton wool, and then she walked like usual, she really couldn't hold on.
"Hmph, you didn't die outside, did you?"
A cold drink interrupted Qi Xiaoting's imagination. You don't have to look at it to know that it was Jiaona who came to your side.
Qi Xiaoting hurriedly got up from Long Yi's arms and said shyly, "I'm sorry, Jiaona, I made you wait for a long time." ”
"You...... Is it a human or a ghost? Jiaona looked at her disfigured face and teased.
"Don't blame her." Long Yi stopped Jiao Na with his eyes at the same time: "When she was practicing the Dark Fireball outside, the snake venom broke out, and it was already a blessing to be able to come in with her whole body." ”
Jiaona's eyes turned white: "People have the ability to refine themselves, what kind of heart are you fooling around?" Anyway, it's the people in the space who are trapped! Only when you are suffocated to death can you be happy! ”
Long Yi's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Jiao Na with a trembling finger and roared: "Jiao Na, you still talk about bad news in this situation, you ...... Do you still look like a junior? ”
Jiao Na snorted with a "hum": "I don't look like a junior, does she have the responsibility of an elder?" If she wants to, she won't secretly refine the Dark Fireball by herself?
"The ring space is all up to her, and she doesn't want to think about it, if she is finished, the space will have to be left here, and the return to the Eight Dragons Altar and the tomb will be in vain. She is shouldering such a heavy task and such a big thing, and she doesn't say a word, where is her responsibility? ”
The words are not rough, Qi Xiaoting regretted that her intestines were blue. Busy blushing and reviewing: "It's me who is wrong, I really didn't know that refining the Dark Fire Ball would be so powerful." In the future, as long as it is a matter of magic, I promise to ask one step at a time. ”
Jiaona: "It doesn't matter if you almost died outside, we haven't seen fishy meat for half a month, are you going to die of thirst?" ”
Qi Xiaoting: "I'll go out immediately, buy some from the butcher shop in the village, and eat them first." ”
"Not right now." Long glared at Jiaona, and then said to Qi Xiaoting: "Rest for the night first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Qi Xiaoting said sincerely: "I have to go out to rest." This village is not accessible, many people remember my appearance, and the haunting of the garden house must be rumored to be boiling.
"I'm walking east, and I come across a village or something, so I stay in peace and don't leave, wouldn't that be more conducive to recuperation?!"
As soon as the dragon saw that what she said was reasonable, he nodded in agreement.
Jiao Na probably realized her recklessness, and said to Qi Xiaoting in a curtled manner: "I...... I'm talking about the actual situation, and I don't mean forcing you to buy it right away. In this way, let's go out together, so that we can take care of it. ”
Qi Xiaoting nodded, put on a big mask, and walked out of the space with Jiaona.
It's not yet noon outside. Qi Xiaoting didn't dare to enter the nearby village, and the two of them kept walking east. When I walked to a small village called Yujia Town. Qi Xiaoting couldn't walk anymore, so she stopped.
It's a small town, but there are not a lot of shops on the street, selling everything.
I went to the butcher shop and bought a smoked chicken for Jiaona, so that she could eat it while walking when no one was around.
When passing by the Insect Bird store, I bought a gray parrot that could talk the most and a bird cage. In the future, I won't walk all day, and I will have time to tease it and excrete the loneliness of the journey;
Another one lives in the city or village, and there are more people around, in case he doesn't pay attention to what he says when he transmits the voice to the space outside, it will be better to rely on the parrot, so that he will not be said by others to talk to himself as a neurotic.
I came to Yuelai Inn again and wanted to inquire about the price of accommodation. If it's the right thing, it's not impossible to stay in a long-stay inn, after all, it's a place for travelers to stay.
"A good room with a living room is one or two (silver), a medium double room is 700 wen, and an average is 300 wen." The owner quickly quoted the price.
"So, how many people live in general?" Qi Xiaoting asked.
She didn't even dare to think about it in the good room and the middle room. There were more than eight taels of silver left, more than 200 wen to buy smoked chicken, one tael to buy parrots and bird cages, and she had to buy cinnabar and paper and pencils.
Boss: "A few counts as a few." Accommodate up to twenty people. ”
Qi Xiaoting: "Chase shop? ”
The boss nodded: "Generally, there are only seven or eight people, and I can't squeeze it." ”
Qi Xiaoting stuck out her little tongue in the mask: Even if she can't squeeze it, most of the people who go out are men, and she, a girl dressed as a man, can't go to the Chase bunk to sleep! What's more, the price is not low.
She shook her head and pulled a confused Jiaona out of the inn.
When Qi Xiaoting asked the price, Jiao Na had already looked at the inn. She couldn't imagine that there were so many people living in such a small courtyard, one person and one room was enough to be aggrieved, and there were two people in one room or even a few people, and more than a dozen people in one room, which was too crowded!
"It's not for you." As she walked, she said, "There are too many people. ”
Qi Xiaoting knows what Jiao Na means by "too many people", she is a dragon girl, she is used to living in the spacious Dragon Palace, and the two west wings feel aggrieved, and she is not used to looking at the hotels and inns in the world that make money by soliciting accommodation.
But it's true that it's not rented for a long time by her, a person who just cares about food and clothing. So he asked passers-by where there was cheap housing.
Someone told her that there was a small temple nearby, and there were no monks in it, so she could go and live there if she was not afraid.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Qi Xiaoting said to Jiaona.
The small temple is called Longxing Temple, the scale is not small, there is the main hall and the east and west side halls, all are civil engineering structures, and adopt the decoration of the color painting of leach. But the ground was covered with basil taller than a man, and it was clear that no one had been here for a long time.
There is a stone statue of the god in the main hall, with rough lines, majestic eyebrows and eyes, full of fear, not angry but mighty. Qi Xiaoting shuddered and took Jiaona's hand and walked out.
The doors of the east and west side halls were open, and the doors and windows were dilapidated. When the wind blows, the doors and window sashes make a "squeak" and "squeak" sound.
The two of them pushed open the west side hall and looked inside, only to see that there were still tables, chairs and benches inside, which were covered with dust, and the walls were full of cobwebs. There is no bed, there is a pile of hay on the ground, and it seems that there are passers-by who have lived here, and they are laid on the ground.
I looked at the east side hall again, and the situation was not as good as the west. In one corner of the east side hall, a small pile of old charcoal is piled up. It seems that it was last year or older, and people burned the leftovers and didn't dispose of them.
