"Unexpected! You're a big man and you can cook! ”

"But why didn't you have soup for your fried rice?"

In the steamed bun shop shrouded in night, on a wooden table that had been wiped, the little girl was enjoying Zhou Fan's fried egg fried rice at the moment.

When she commented on the egg fried rice and asked why there was no soup, Zhou Fan directly put a can of soy milk in front of her and specially inserted a straw for her.

The little girl in red was stunned for a moment when she saw this, and she didn't politely suck her pink little mouth close to the straw.

"Where's my cousin?"

Zhou Fan didn't delay any longer, and asked the little girl in red directly.

"She's in the Hidden Capital!"

"Where?"

"I don't know!"

“......”

Zhou Fan didn't expect the little girl to pretend not to know, which made his face a little gloomy, and he was afraid that he would have to be rude if he wanted to find his cousin.

"When the Lantern Festival is over, I can let you take her."

"But you have to go shopping with me these days, or you won't want to find her."

Just when Zhou Fan hesitated to move, the little girl's voice sounded just right.

"Is she really my cousin?"

"And who was the girl I took away on the rooftop last time?"

Zhou Fan did not question whether the other party would not admit the account or have other requirements, but first asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Is it your cousin, why are you asking me why?"

"Didn't you say it was your cousin who took you away last time?"

The little girl in red smiled and said perfunctorily casually, without telling Zhou Fan the answer.

And for her answer, Zhou Fan was not satisfied.

"If you're always avoiding the important like this, then there's no need for us to continue."

Zhou Fan frowned and said in a deep voice, expressing his dissatisfaction with the little girl's answer that she could change the topic every time and avoid the important and trivial.

"Angry?"

"You don't want to know when the sarcophagus will eat you again?"

The little girl in red looked at Zhou Fan with big eyes, grinned and deliberately whetted his appetite and asked.

It's just that Zhou Fan was silent, and didn't ask as curiously as she wished.

"You're boring!"

"If it were someone else, dare to show me a face, I would have pinched him to death!"

The little girl in red pursed her lips and said, seemingly innocent words, but Zhou Fan was chilled when she heard it.

Good fellow, it's really murderous.

And her words also made Zhou Fan suspicious, and he couldn't help but think deeply and be suspicious.

Listening to the tone of the little girl, it seems that because he doesn't use it with others, he can occasionally put on a face for each other, and the little girl can accept it without getting angry.

But Zhou Fan and the little girl have only seen each other, and he doesn't know that he is special.

The first was in the forbidden land of the deserted village, when he helped the little girl and her sister to free their sisters.

The second side is in the mental hospital in Hengshan City, if it weren't for her help to open the rooftop door, Zhou Fan really couldn't escape with the girl who was suspected of being a cousin.

The third side is in the underground scientific research base of Sakura Country, when he was already about to snatch back the girl who was exactly the same as his cousin, but he was taken away by the little girl first.

The fourth side is naturally in this bun shop, except for the first time he met, he was full of calculations, and he may have some kindness to the little girl, and the intersection between the two at other times is not much.

He looked at the little girl in red in silence, and although he was a little distracted, he didn't mean to ask.

"Originally, you were going to be eaten by the ninth coffin, but you were eaten by the third first."

"Fortunately, you escaped from coffin number three unharmed, and the coffin will not eat you again, because you are not the chosen one."

"But coffin No. 9 will still eat you after a year, and the time will be counted from after you leave coffin No. 3."

The little girl in red said with a serious face, making the silent Zhou Fan frown when she heard this.

For the cannibalistic sarcophagus, even if Zhou Fan is lucky enough to escape from the No. 3 sarcophagus, it is just a fluke.

There are still acquaintances in the No. 3 sarcophagus, but what is the situation in the No. 9 sarcophagus, he is almost black-eyed.

So if it was as the little girl said, he would be eaten by the Nine sarcophagus in a year, which would be very bad.

"Didn't I already run away from the Ancient Temple?"

"Will the temple be reopened in a year?"

Zhou Fan asked with some suspicion!

"A temple is a temple, a sarcophagus is a sarcophagus, don't mix them up!"

"The temple usually only opens once every few decades, and it won't open suddenly in a short period of time."

Liu Yutong finished eating the fried rice, leaned back on the chair lazily, his eyes dripping and rolling while explaining to Zhou Fan while thinking about some crooked ideas.

"The ancient temple has not been opened, so can the sarcophagus come out on its own?"

Zhou Fan was a little shocked and asked rhetorically!

"Hee-hee! Don't be afraid, if you want to get out of the sarcophagus number nine alive, you have to find me and my sister. ”

"Only the two of us who enter the Nine sarcophagus with you will be able to escape there alive."

In the face of Zhou Fan's inquiry, Liu Yutong grinned and did not answer his question directly, but gave him a suggestion.

"You two! Was it brought out of the No. 9 coffin by the old village chief of Liujia Village? ”

Zhou Fan suddenly looked at Liu Yutong in disbelief, and asked with some suspicion.

"Anyway, the method has already told you, whether you can survive or not depends on whether you work hard or not."

Liu Yutong smiled and didn't answer, but looked at him left and right.

"Why are you in Liujia Village in the first place?"

Shake your head and say nothing!

"Then Liu Shan is still alive?"

Still shaking his head and saying nothing!

"There were still people alive in Liujia Village back then? What about the ancient temple and the sarcophagus? ”

In the face of Zhou Fan's successive inquiries, Liu Yutong still shook his head and remained silent.

"Your eyes are so beautiful, watery like a girl's eyes."

Liu Yutong, who was silent, suddenly spoke, staring at Zhou Fan's eyes as if he was a little engrossed.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing! I compliment you on your beautiful eyes! ”

"And then?"

"It's gone!"

“......”

Zhou Fan didn't like this kind of saying half and half left, and he also had some guesses in his heart about his eyes.

"You want to know why the Enchantress wants ambergris?"

"Not interested!"

"If you have this attitude, I'm leaving!"

Liu Yutong was still hanging Zhou Fan's appetite, but she didn't expect him to be not interested in the slightest, which made her pout a little unhappy.

"Don't, don't! So why do you say! ”

The little girl still has to be coaxed, Zhou Fan is really afraid that she will leave.

"The strange fragrance of ambergris burning can attract yin spirits and have the effect of calming the soul and attracting spirits."

"In a few days it will be the Lantern Festival, when the waters of the River Styx will flow backwards, and the deceased will return as ghosts."

Liu Yutong seemed to tell Zhou Fan a mythical story, and his face was full of astonishment when he heard it.

But for this theory of reincarnation of yin spirits, he actually still maintains a skeptical attitude.

In particular, this is the land of cherry blossoms, and there are all kinds of messy ghosts, but most of them are made up by people, and there is no basis for it.

So he is also skeptical about this kind of thing.

"Is the enchantress serious? Who is she going to conjure? ”

After a pause, he asked with some curiosity.

"Seriously!"

"She's going to summon the spirit of her dead husband!"

Liu Yutong replied with a smile!

"Dead husband?"

"Yes! Her deceased husband is said to be called Liu Bainai, a swordsman of the Longxia Kingdom! ”

"I heard that she seems to have died of illness, but I don't know the specifics, but if you meet a demon queen, you can ask her."

“......”

Liu Yutong said something ridiculous, and the corners of Zhou Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

He didn't care about other people's bad things at all, and he finally drew a line with the enchantress, so he wouldn't run to give people their heads.

"What is the origin of the Lantern Festival?"

Zhou Fan groaned for a moment, and asked Liu Yutong with some curiosity.

"That's a long story!"

"This was originally the territory of the Longxia Kingdom, but it was only later occupied by the Sakura Kingdom due to civil strife and finally taken it for itself."

"The Lantern Festival is dedicated to the spirits of the dead who have returned from the River Styx, and their souls have nothing to rely on, and they will roll up the River Styx and cause chaos, killing a large number of living beings."

"Later, it is said that there was a high monk who suppressed the River Styx, and used the requiem of the dark lamp so that all the dead could float into the depths of the River Styx and be reincarnated through a dark lamp."

"Since then, the custom has been preserved, and the River Styx is no longer raging the undead or causing chaos."

Liu Yutong seemed to be telling a mythological story, and Zhou Fan couldn't help but be a little distracted when he listened.

By the time he came back to his senses, it was already dark.

Boss Wang and his wife also came to their senses, and after finding that their son Wang Sheng was missing, they all climbed out of the cellar anxiously.

And when the two of them saw the backyard that was in a mess and almost a ruin, they were all a little dumbfounded, thinking that they had gone to the wrong place.

"There was a big battle here last night, so this place became like this."

"Wang Sheng was also captured by the things in the River Styx last night, I will go back to the River Styx later to have a look, he should not be in danger of life for the time being."

Zhou Fan walked from the shop not far away and explained a few words to Boss Wang and the others.

Then he took out a bank card and handed it to Boss Wang, which was regarded as compensation for his loss.

It's just that Boss Wang didn't accept it, although he was a little sad about the destruction of the yard and shop, but he was more concerned about his son Wang Sheng.

The two couples begged Zhou Fan to find a way to save Wang Sheng.

Zhou Fan is only guessing that the young man may be in the River Styx, and as for whether he is still alive, he is not sure.

So he didn't pack a ticket, only said that he would try his best to find it.

After the sky was completely bright, he followed Liu Yutong and left the bun shop.

The two bought some food along the way, and after passing through several lanes, they finally came to the River Styx.

The so-called River Styx is a wide black river.

The water of this black river looks as black as ink, like polluted water.

The River Styx is endless, and the surface of the river is sparkling and calm.

There were many fishermen fishing beside the river, so Zhou Fan couldn't help but ask Liu Yutong beside him with some curiosity: "Are there fish in this river?" ”

"Yes! The fish in this river is called black fish, and I heard that it tastes good, but it is black and even the flesh of the fish is black, and some people dare not eat it. ”

Liu Yutong replied, jumped and pulled Zhou Fan towards the anglers, and pointed to the fish basket or fish bucket behind the anglers, as if to say that the black thing in there was a black fish.

Walking up and looking at it curiously, Zhou Fan found that those black fish all had sharp teeth, which seemed to be extremely fierce, and they were all black swimming in the water, and it was difficult to catch a trace.
