Chapter 23: Zhou Sheng
Lin Xixue got up and looked around, every household closed the doors and windows, and even the old man who had just talked to her didn't know where to hide.
The sackcloth shirt on his body was stained with mud, but the black feather coat was spotless, as if the soil had directly penetrated the feather coat and stuck directly to the sackcloth shirt.
She wanted to go to the so-called Wuzeng Temple to find Bai Qing, but at this moment, it was impossible for anyone in the village to guide her.
She looked at the fishing village a little blankly, only to see that the fishing village was surrounded by mountains and waters, peaks and forests, and Shili Ping Lake was slightly shimmering, a quiet and peaceful scene.
She suddenly felt that the world was vast, but she didn't know where to go for a while.
She returned to Zhou Sheng's residence with some malaise and closed the doors and windows.
Where do you go next, and what do you do?
Generally speaking, when you travel to the world of Xianxia, you will probably want to ask for immortality.
Oh, but I'm not old or dead now, but I've achieved it in a way I never imagined.
She lifted the palm of her hand that had been pierced not long ago, such a serious penetrating wound, but not a drop of blood flowed, and now the wound began to heal rapidly, I am afraid that it will heal completely in half a day.
is immortal, and will inexplicably erupt with all kinds of negative emotions, even killing intent.
Isn't this just a murderous monster?
So as a monster, what should I pursue in the future? If I amass enough strength, will I be able to kill that twisted monster of Tianzun?
But all my supernatural powers were forcibly given to me by Tianzun, how could I use this monster's supernatural powers to defeat him?
Where do we go forward?
She couldn't think of an answer, just lay on the bed, silently watching the wound close little by little, and then disappear, and the time flickered past noon.
A swarthy and sturdy young man pushed the door in, looking no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was as black as iron.
Lin Xixue hurriedly sat up and looked at the young man, thinking that it was Zhou Sheng, the owner of this bamboo house.
Sweat slid down his strong muscles like molten iron rolling from a red-hot steel ingot, and it was still steaming slightly.
He didn't notice Lin Xixue's gaze, but he still had his head on the side, and then went out with the fish basket again.
Not long after, the sound of chopping wood, the sound of spatulas colliding, and the sound of frying oil flowers made a mess, and the salty and fresh aroma entered the house.
Lin Xixue was so smart in ice and snow, so she naturally guessed that he was going to cook, so she prepared dishes and chopsticks in advance.
Zhou Sheng carried a large pot of stir-fried fish pieces and put it on the table.
"Eat." His tone was a little cold, and when he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and ate the fish, and just put the large piece of fish whole into his mouth, and shaved out the thorns with a pinch of his tongue.
Although this fish piece is not seasoned well, and there is no modern onion, ginger and garlic cooking wine to remove the fish, but Lin Xixue came through and only ate a few nests, and when he smelled the fragrance of fish at this moment, he naturally moved his index finger.
She tried to clip a small piece, and the fish was still garlic cloves, and it was very fresh.
But as soon as she put the fish in her mouth, her body reacted violently, and she quickly turned her back and retched uncontrollably.
It's not because there are no spices to remove the fishiness, so the smell is unbearable, but Lin Xixue feels that her whole body is rejecting this food.
She didn't feel any unpleasant smell from the fish, but she felt a feeling of nausea from the depths of her soul.
It's as if the body is saying that this food is no longer suitable for itself.
Zhou Sheng on the side frowned when he saw her reaction like this, but he didn't say anything, he still ate fish with his head bored.
Lin Xixue put down the dishes and chopsticks, didn't know how to explain for a while, was silent for a long time, and finally just whispered "I'm sorry".
Zhou Sheng was still just eating the fish by himself, and without saying much, he ate a pot full of fish, leaving only a bunch of fish bones.
Lin Xixue knew that Zhou Sheng had a life-saving grace for him this time, but he had a misunderstanding because of his retching, so he consciously took the trouble and took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
But Zhou Sheng snatched the dishes and chopsticks, and swallowed for a long time before he burst out with a sentence: "You rest." ”
He neatly washed the dishes and chopsticks, put them on the bamboo rack and drained the water, turned around and asked, "Roasted bamboo shoots?" Eat? ”
Lin Xixue shook her head with a wry smile and said perfunctorily: "I don't have to eat." ”
In fact, she was starving to death at the moment, but she understood that she would definitely not be able to eat any more mundane food, and she didn't know what she would eat in the future.
She remembered the scene in the illusion where she ate flesh and blood, and she couldn't help but feel disgusting. If she really could only eat this kind of thing, she would rather starve to death.
"You, really, water monkey?" The boy jumped out word by word.
Lin Xixue smiled dumbly, she completely discovered that this young man was not cold to her, he was a little introverted at all, and he didn't know how to communicate with people.
"Have you ever heard of water monkeys that drown?" Lin Xixue directly logically denied the possibility of this conjecture.
The young man scratched his head, thought for a moment and then responded: "It seems to be the same, since, it's not, water monkey, why don't you have to eat?" ”
Although Lin Xixue was depressed, she couldn't help but be amused by the way he spoke word by word.
But she didn't want to explain too much to Zhou Sheng, after all, sometimes the more she knew, the more dangerous and unhappy she became, so she just said casually: "Because I am an immortal cultivator." ”
"You, nonsense, in your village, go crazy, uncle and aunt, scold me, you shouldn't be, save you back." Zhou Sheng's stunned voice was a little unconvinced.
Lin Xixue pretended to be profound, and according to the Xianxia novels she had read in her previous life, she pulled some nouns and said: "You don't understand it, people who cultivate immortals also have three calamities and five calamities, and heaven and man have five decays." It is also common for demons to enter the body and be unstable. ”
Zhou Sheng seemed to be frightened by her nonsense, and said suspiciously: "You, really, immortal?" ”
"Nature is true." In order to increase credibility, Lin Xixue casually suspended a bamboo stool.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Sheng hurriedly threw himself to the ground and pleaded: "Please, find me, sister, she was taken away by the immortals and disappeared." ”
Lin Xixue smiled bitterly, she still has a lot of problems to solve, how can she help others find her sister.
But after all, Zhou Sheng has a life-saving grace for herself and Bai Qing, and logically speaking, she should indeed do something for him, she has to understand the situation before making plans.
"Don't worry, talk slowly, how old was your sister when she was taken away, did the so-called immortal who took your sister say that he was his master, and do you remember what the immortal looked like?"
"Nine years old, it's been seven years, I don't know what the master is, but he can fly, as for what he looks like......"
I don't know if it's because I'm in a hurry, Zhou Sheng didn't jump out word by word when he spoke at this time, but could barely say complete and coherent words.
But he stopped abruptly, frowning, as if struggling to remember.
"It's a Taoist, wearing a cyan robe, and a green jade lotus crown on his head, looking quite kind and kind."
Lin Xixue felt helpless, this appearance is the same as not saying, more than half of all the old Taoist priests in the world are dressed like this, where to find it yourself.
Don't talk about others, just say that Hong Yanzi, the evil way, is almost dressed like this.
But her heart immediately sank, couldn't it really be Hongyanzi who took her sister away. This fishing village is so close to Hongyanzi's lair, in fact, it is quite possible to be taken away by Hongyanzi.
If this is the case, then Zhou Sheng's sister is probably more than lucky.
Lin Xixue hesitated whether to tell Zhou Sheng this cruel news......
