Chapter 35: The Disappearance

Huo Jiaolie and his entourage came to Nanxi Town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's a small town, in our words, a place that can't be found on the map.

"Are you sure Yun'er wrote here?" asked Shui Qingli.

"Well, it can't be wrong. Huo replied arrogantly.

As early as two days ago, Huo Jiaolie put Huo Xiyun in the Xuantian caravan, and specially ordered someone to ensure her safety. Huo Xiyun drew their roadmap as originally promised, and separated.

This Nanxi town is the first stop on the map.

Sure enough, it's good to have no tail. Huo Jiaolie thought silently.

Having said that, although Nanxi Town is a small town, it is a typical land of fish and rice, and it has also attracted many cultivators to stop. Here, it can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons.

"Let's go get something to eat first. Huo Jiaolie said to Shui Qingli.

Sure enough, hearing this, Shui Qingli's eyes lit up.

Huo Jiaolie remembered that he summoned the secret son of Nanxi Town yesterday and asked them to check where the food was delicious, and it was indeed a wise choice.

And where did the dark son of Nanxi Town do such a thing, and he was decisively thundered by the 'wisdom' of his own family. Isn't this blatant overkill!

But does anyone dare to say no? Even if they are looking for food, the fiery subordinates are still very dutiful, and they do it quickly and well with the speed of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves......

Huo Jiaolie took Shui Qingli to a restaurant, found an empty seat and sat down.

Due to the generosity of the prince of Lieda, their dishes were quickly served.

However, Shui Qingli's chopsticks took the lead in catching a fish on the plate on the table.

God knows how long it has been since she has tasted fish as a cat, and where she sneaked around would be delicious, eating such a good fish today, Shui Qingli was so happy that she couldn't breathe.

As the saying goes, which cat doesn't steal fishy...... Hey, that doesn't seem right......

A piece of snow-white fish meat is put in the mouth, at first the umami of the fish diffuses between the lips and teeth, and then the spicy millet pepper, and the aroma of green onions.

This fish is a common perch in freshwater lakes.

The recipe is also very simple: break the sea bass from the back, remove the internal organs, wash it, spread it on a plate, smear it with ginger juice to remove the smell, set it aside, and then cut the ginger, garlic and carrots. The carrots are flat at the bottom of the plate, under the sea bass, the ginger and garlic are placed under the belly of the fish, and the time (5 minutes ~ 7 minutes) is about half a cup of tea on the pot.

In the meantime, cut about seven or eight millet peppers, ginger, garlic and chopped green onions and set aside.

When the fish is steamed, remove it and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Heat the oil to seven minutes hot, pour in the chopped chili, ginger and garlic, stir-fry until the fragrance overflows, add special secret ingredients, adjust the salt, and pour the oil and condiments directly on the fish.

Looking at the satisfied expression of the little kitten, Huo Jiaolie suddenly felt very happy.

Suddenly, the discussion of the people next to him inadvertently drifted into his ears.

"I heard that a lot of people have disappeared inexplicably recently, and they are all good demons. ”

"It's not because of a duel or something. ”

"No, no, no, I heard that there are equal numbers of men and women in this missing person. ”

"What's that for?"

"I don't know, this thing is very weird, neither for money, nor for sex, and the purpose is not clear. ”

"Oh my God, that sounds scary. ”

"No! Some people say that these people were chosen to be sacrificed. ”

"Sacrifice?"

"Didn't there be an ancient tribe recently? Some people say that these people were taken by them. ”

Hearing the 'Gu Clan' Shui Qingli and the fire arrogance, he couldn't help but raise his head and listen carefully.

The man sneered: "You don't know, this ancient clan is really menacing, and ghost ideas are endless, God knows where these people have gone." ”

There was nothing to hear about the rest of the matter, and Huo Jiaolie and Shui Qingli left the restaurant.

Shui Qingli asked, "What do you think?" ”

"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. The fiery answer was concise and to the point.

"So you really think it's the Gu Clan?" Shui Qingli couldn't help but ask.

Huo Jiaolie shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's an indisputable fact that a large number of cultivators are missing. ”

"So we're going to investigate thoroughly?" said Shui Qingli.

"Hmm. Huo Jiaolie continued, "Otherwise, it will cause turmoil, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible." ”

The more rights you get, the more constraints you have to be imposed and the more obligations you have to pay.

=========

Early morning.

"Someone is missing again?" Shui Qingli followed the fire arrogantly, and the two rushed to the scene of the incident.

"Hmm. Huo Jiaolie's brows tightened.

When the two arrived, there were still two black-clothed people there, and they bowed slightly to Huo Jiaolie and Shui Qingli: "Master." Mother of the House. ”

Huo arrogantly waved them down, and observed for himself.

This is the upper room of an inn, and the environment is quite good, which is exactly the type that cultivators like.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that there were no signs of a fight. Everything was clean, as if there had never been anyone.

Shui Qingli found that there was a circle of water stains on the windowsill, so he beckoned Huo Jiao to come over: "Look." ”

The fire arrogance is still locked in his eyebrows.

She picked up a small potted plant on the small square table under the windowsill, placed it on the windowsill, and said, "Look. ”

Huo Jiaolie saw that the bottom of the potted plant was just in line with the water stain, so he said, "What do you mean...... People are coming in from the windowsill?"

Shui Qingli nodded.

"But if that's the case, then there should be traces of a fight. Huo said arrogantly to the water.

After thinking about it, both of them thought at the same time: What if the captives had lost their ability to resist when they came in?

Shudder. Cultivators are resistant to medicine, and being able to administer medicine unconsciously is also a very powerful character.

"Do you remember the nepeta?" Shui Qingli suddenly asked.

Of course, Huo Jiaolie still remembers this kind of thing, and it was this medicine that made Shui Qingli suffer a big loss.

But the purity of this person's bloodline should not be high, and similar things like nepeta are actually not so easy to use.

But out of safety, Huo Jiao summoned the shadow son and asked, "What kind of demon is this person, and what level?"

"Carp demon, late stage of condensation. ”

This level is already very good in the world.

Huo Blaze searched the room inch by inch, and in a moment, he found something next to the pillow at the head of the bed: a transparent cylinder with a small hole at the tip, a matching piston rod in the middle, and a needle on it......

PS: Water stains refer to contamination caused by water. It can be dry or wet. The water stains here are caused by the long-term placement of the flower pots, and the pot friends who have raised flowers must know it~

By the way, the special secret ingredient is steamed fish soy sauce~ If you want to eat it, you can do it yourself~
