When he was hungry, everything was delicious, and he had been nibbling on dry food for three days, and he had to have a mouthful of hot food to cushion his stomach.

Alas, this stomach is spoiled by the cooks of the Yangshan Islands. I think that back then, it was common for him to go south and north, and it was common for him not to have a hot meal for ten days and a half months.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The rice blood is soaked in the hot soup and tastes good.

When He Lingchuan tasted it, there was a little bit of deer blood, and the taste was unsatisfactory.

Dong Rui asked, "Where is this?" We were in a hurry, and we were confused. ”

"Wuxian Town."

The two of them were still at a loss. There are thousands of towns in this world, what is the difference between five and six shows for them?

The shopkeeper pointed to the east: "Go fifty miles north-east, and you will arrive at the country of Yao." ”

He pointed further southeast: "Thirty-five miles to the east, slightly south, Mt. Jun." Don't go there, it's dangerous in the mountains. ”

He Lingchuan asked, "What about Baitouling?" ”

"I also went northeast and crossed the Baitou Ridge before entering the boundary of the Yao Kingdom."

The shopkeeper served the same again, and neither of them could stand it:

Mix Houttuynia cordata.

Dong Rui only tasted it and pressed his head: "Ouch, I'll go, it's better to swallow river fish raw." ”

He can eat meat from unknown sources, but this thing, this thing......

"It's good stuff." A voice rang out from the side.

There was only one drinker in the store, short and thin, with figure-eight eyebrows and small eyes. As long as he frowned, others could not tell whether he was open or closed.

Probably because one person was too lonely to drink, he chatted with two people: "Eat two more bites, and you will like it." ”

Dong Rui shook his head, not wanting to try again.

In front of this person, there was a plate of peanuts and green onions, and after drinking wine, he took a sip of green onions, and he sighed with a spicy "ah".

He Lingchuan saw that there was a half-palm-sized copper bell hanging on the window lattice beside him, which was polished and recognizable, and the surface of the bell was engraved with runes.

The curtains of the shop were not tight, and occasionally the wind blew in and swirled in the hall, but the bell was quiet and did not ring at all.

"You're also a cultivator?"

"Sort of." The drinker laughed, "Where are you from?" ”

"West."

"Where's the west?" The drinker said, "You're all big, not like the locals." ”

"Yaguo further west."

The drinker was stunned: "Not in the Shining Gold Plain?" Hey, you have a good life, why are you still running here, you are tired of living a good life? ”

"Come to the country to do some goods." Dong Rui said with a smile, "I just did business with this side this year. Although the Shining Gold Plain is not peaceful, there are so many good things. For the sake of money, shouldn't you go to the soup and go to the fire? ”

Although this place is called the "plain" of shining gold, in fact, there are all kinds of landforms, and the vast mountains have a main trunk and side branches here, like the backbone of the earth.

The mountains of the Flash Gold Plain are home to countless rich minerals, in addition to the most common iron, tin, copper, gold, etc., there are also many rare minerals necessary for refining.

In addition, horses, medicinal herbs, wood, etc., are also specialties.

In terms of the abundance of materials, Xiao Bailie is not worthy of lifting boots for it.

"What's the use of having a lot of product? It has to be seen by you, not needed. The people here are begging for food with golden bowls. The drinker shook his head, "Is the land abandoned by heaven a wasted name?" ”

He Lingchuan looked at a few pieces of red paper pasted on the window.

Rectangle with symbols drawn on it.

There were holes in the paper windows, which were blocked by these talismans.

He had only looked twice, and the bell next to the drinker suddenly rang without wind.

Phew—

It's crisp, but only half-sounding.

The drinker immediately lowered his glass.

A talisman on the window was suddenly opened by the wind, and the window hole below whined, like a whistle.

In the next second, there was something more outside the cave-

One eye.

A bloodshot, gurgling eyeball peeks into the store through a small hole in the window.

On a dark and rainy night, an extra eye suddenly appeared in the window hole three feet above the ground, and normal people would be creepy.

He Lingchuan was also stunned, and the chopsticks holding the noodles paused in mid-air.

The gaze outside the window swept over the three customers, and soon focused on the shopkeeper, full of malice.

The drinker suddenly said, "Here, just outside the window." ”

He pointed to the window: "I'm spying on you from here." ”

The shopkeeper's face changed greatly, and following his fingers, Dong Rui and the two monkeys also turned their heads together, but there was nothing outside the window.

What's that?

The drinker noticed He Lingchuan's actions, but he didn't say anything, and only said to the panicked shopkeeper: "Go back to the back of the counter and hold your breath." ”

The shopkeeper dared to hesitate, and rushed back with one arrow step.

The eyeballs outside the window disappeared in an instant.

In the next second, a wisp of black smoke drifted in from outside the door curtain and swayed inside the room.

The Soul Mirror snorted: "I should be some evil thing, it turns out to be a wild ghost!" ”

The world in the mirror contains many evil spirits, and the mirror is certainly no stranger to this thing. But ghosts rarely appear around He Lingchuan, and he hasn't seen them for a long time.

Dong Rui found out that a white circle was drawn on the floor of the counter, and the shopkeeper was standing in the circle, not daring to breathe or move.

Black smoke drifted around the shop, as if he couldn't be found.

It was a little irritable, and it landed in a human form, stroking carefully on the edge of the counter.

It looked like a monkey jumping out of the mud, thin and black, with a rickety back, but with jagged yellow teeth in its mouth.

It gritted its teeth, and its upper and lower teeth clicked.

The shopkeeper stood in front of it, staring at it in horror, but the mud ghost seemed to be blind, and could not see the big living man.

Of course, the shopkeeper can't see it, but he can feel the temperature dropping rapidly.

At this moment, there was a trickle of water behind me.

The mud ghost immediately turned his head and found that it was He Lingchuan pouring wine, as if nothing had happened.

It immediately turned around and approached He Lingchuan and the others.

He Lingchuan poured himself a drink, so he should not be able to see it.

The mud ghost approached the two of them and the two monkeys sniffed a few times, and pressed their paws on the table, leaving a mud handprint.

The shopkeeper couldn't see it, but he could see the handprint, and his face turned pale with fright.

Then, it went to the drinker.

The drinker took a sip of wine in his mouth, and when it approached, it suddenly spewed out.

The wine has a light red color and is mixed with cinnabar.

The mud ghost was caught off guard, was sprayed on his head and face, and suddenly screamed, turned into black smoke and fled out of the door.

I didn't know that this drinker pressed a blower under his hand and pressed it gently-

That's right, it's a blower used in kitchens and bathhouses.

The black smoke was sucked into the blower.

"Alright." The drinker put away his tools and tore off the red paper from the window, "I've taken it in." ”

"Okay." He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up, and this time it was very neat.

The shopkeeper held his breath so much that his face turned purple, and he gasped twice when he heard it: "Master Fu, am I safe?" ”

"Well, it's safe."

The shopkeeper saw the mud paw prints on He Lingchuan's table, and only then did he believe that the evil ghost had really come, so he took out half a tael of silver and put it on the table of the drinker. "Thank you, Master! I'll give you another hot drink. ”
