"Why are your horses running so fast?"

The boy led the horse and looked at the little girl and her horse with a look of astonishment.

"As I told you, my horses are short, but they are good at running." Song You smiled and said, "I have robbed my foot of the name." ”

"It's okay, I'm only the third runner anyway, and I won't be able to get the first place without you." The young man smiled brightly, "I'm only here for the first day today, and there are still a few days, I'll go for a run tomorrow." ”

"I wish you the best tomorrow."

"Where did you stay last night?"

"Live on that mountain."

Song You turned around and pointed to the hill where he had stayed overnight last night.

"So far?" The young man turned around and looked at it, and then said, "Why don't you live down there, it's so lively at night, you can live in the mountains, and you can meet bad people and wolves." ”

"It's clean up there."

"And what about tonight?"

"It's not good tonight."

"Daddy said, you are very powerful, please eat with us today."

"This ......"

Song You couldn't help but smile.

Since entering Yanzhou, there have been many such facts, especially when I walked in the grassland before. The people here seem to be like this, just talk a few words, and they can invite people to eat in the tent.

For the locals, this seems to be a common thing.

After a moment's hesitation, he agreed.

The boy gladly led the way.

After chatting with each other along the way, I learned that his surname was Lin Mingle, and his father was originally a businessman in the eastern part of Yanzhou, but because he came to do business on the grassland, he somehow stayed and became a son-in-law.

When they entered the tent, his father came to receive him, his mother and sisters went to cook for him, and Lin Le's younger brother was also in the tent, and several people were curious to talk to this Taoist from the south.

Lin Le's father's name is Lin Chang.

Knowing that Song You came from Hezhou, Lin Chang asked about the recent situation in Hezhou, and when he heard that the Taoist traveled the world, Lin Le and his younger brother asked him if he had ever met monsters and ghosts.

The content of the chat is like a story in Shikai.

Until noon, the meal is served.

The conditions on the grassland are limited, and the staple food of wheat noodles, plus beef and mutton and milk tea, is not rich, but it really has nothing to do with simplicity.

The boiled lump of beef and mutton is stewed to a thin rake, served on a plate, and is still steaming when served.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Lin Chang hurriedly greeted.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Song You thanked him as usual, and then took out a small jar, "I'm embarrassed to just eat the food of the master's family, there is also a good thing in the bottom, which is obtained from the south, and I want to take it out for the master's family to taste, see if it suits the appetite." ”

"What?"

Song You got up.

Holding small jars, they walked up to their hosts' houses and poured a little on their plates, young and old, which was a homemade dipping sauce mixed with spices and chili peppers.

It's not spicy, it's mostly fragrant.

There was only half a small jar in the jar, and after such a minute, it was just emptied.

"It's a spice that is best eaten with meat." Song You returned to his seat, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him suspiciously, he took the lead in cutting a piece of meat with a knife, dipped a little and put it in his mouth, and after chewing and swallowing it, he said to them, "Please rest assured, the master is not a poisonous thing, just to repay the enthusiasm of the master." ”

The prairie people have a heroic temperament, and there are not so many twists and turns.

It's just that in recent years, Yanzhou has not been peaceful, everyone has heard a lot of stories of demons and ghosts using spells to harm people, plus Song You is wearing a Taoist robe, as if he knows how to use spells, this inexplicable powder, even if he eats it first, it is a little difficult for people to swallow easily.

However, after thinking about it, he was warmly entertained by him, and others really had no reason to harm him. What's more, at this time, there are so many people outside, even if it is really a monster, it has to be restrained.

The man cut a piece of meat, dipped it in the yellow-red powder that had been turned yellow and red by the addition of many spices, put it in his mouth, and tasted it.

"Huh?"

The man's expression suddenly froze.

The rest of the people followed suit.

Also cut the meat with a knife, dip a little dipping sauce, put it in your mouth and taste it, and your eyes immediately widened.

The Taoist smiled slightly.

In this era, even in the relatively wealthy and culturally prosperous south, the food skills are quite limited, even if the nobles of the south taste their secret recipe for the first time, I am afraid they will feel the unprecedented taste buds on the novel experience, not to mention the people who live on the grassland, in addition to salt, I am afraid there are few other seasonings.

From their expressions, Song You saw Shu Yifan, who he had tasted for the first time.

On the contrary, Song You himself has eaten too much, but he feels that the cattle and sheep on the grassland are of high quality, and it is delicious to eat like this, and there is really no need for other embellishments.

Taste is like that, and sometimes the odd bonus is huge.

So I invited them to eat a strange meal.

It can be seen that the family is enjoying it very much.

When he finished eating, Lin Le's younger brother wanted to ask Song You if there was more, but his father obviously knew how precious this spice was, so he stopped him from drinking.

Song You really doesn't have much.

After dinner, we sat and talked for a while, and in the afternoon, we met again to watch the horse race.

This is the competition between technology and power.

It is very beneficial to go with Lin Le's family, they can be translators, if Song You doesn't understand anything, you can also ask them, it is much deeper than going around by yourself.

In the evening, a bonfire was lit again.

Song You and Sanhua Niangniang were still dragged by Lin Le's family to play together, and even their bags and sheep were placed in their tents, and then a group of people sat by the bonfire to feel the feast on the grassland.

Some sing, some dance.

There were also high-ranking people who traveled with the officials who came out to perform spells, a piece of dried meat, which could be distributed to everyone present, and a pot of wine, which could be poured for everyone present to drink, without any charge. Lin Le's family, who were sitting with Song You, also took a plate, begged for dried meat to eat, took a wine glass, begged for wine to drink, and after tasting it, they said that meat is good meat, and wine is also good wine.

The rest of the people tasted it and all of them were praised.

Even Song You begged for a little to taste, and after tasting it, he gave the dried meat to Sanhua Niangniang.

Not to mention, it tastes really good.

But it's just good, far less amazing than the praise of the people present, especially those officials, and the extra should be psychological effects and spell bonuses.

"It's a god."

Lin Chang said to Song You.

"yes."

Song You knew that most of these dried meat and wine were hidden in a nearby tent, but he did have some skills, and he did not hesitate to praise them.

"This one's spells are amazing!" Lin Changze seemed to be amazed, "If there is a famine, how many people can be saved!" ”

"Maybe."

Song You still didn't say anything.

At this time, I only heard Lin Le's younger brother say: "Such a powerful immortal, why don't you kill all the ghosts in the city in the north?" ”

When Lin Changyan heard this, his face changed:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Huh?" When Song You heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and said, "I don't know what is going on with the ghosts in the north?" ”

"It's just a child's nonsense."

"It's heading north."

“……”

Lin Chang listened and hesitated.

Turned his head to look at Song You, and saw that he was staring at him curiously, and the little girl beside him who had been sitting obediently and not speaking also turned around, stared at herself, thought about it, and then spoke:

"It's not a secret, I heard that Mr. spent the night alone on the top of the mountain last night, and I wanted to remind him. From here to the north, about thirty or forty miles away, there is an earthen city, which was originally used by the garrison, but there was no one in it many years ago, and I heard that it was all ghosts, and then there was not even grass growing next to it. These ghosts don't eat people, but often run out to steal some cows, sheep and horses to eat, even if the gentleman knows how to do magic, it is better not to live alone in the mountains at night, it is better to come down and live with everyone, there are many ghosts do not dare to come, lest their horses and sheep be eaten by ghosts. ”

"There must be a lot of wolves and bears on this grassland, right? How do you know that you have been eaten by demons? ”

"Naturally, some people have encountered it, and there are quite a few of them." Lin Chang said, "We do have wolves and bears here, but we also have dogs, and when something comes from the pasture, the dog barks, and when someone hears the barking, they see ghost soldiers, wearing armor, lying on the cattle and sheep, and the next day, the cattle and sheep are already dead." ”

"I see." Song You nodded, and asked again, "Do you know that it's the ghost in that earth city?" ”

"In the past, the grassland invited a master to get rid of the ghosts, and found it, and the gentleman didn't know that the earthen city had long been empty, and all the people in it had died. However, in the past few years, not only have the generals in the north not sent new people in, but every day at dusk and in the morning, ghosts are often seen coming and going, as if they were on patrol. ”

"I see."

Song You continued to nod and stopped talking.

Seeing him retract his gaze, the little girl next to him also retracted her gaze and continued to look ahead.

The Taoist reached out and touched her hair.

At this time, the master who performed the spell had already distributed the jerky and wine to everyone, and sat back in his place.

Song You cast his gaze over.

There was a young official sitting beside this master, who seemed to be very shocked by the master's ability to come out of thin air, and couldn't help asking: "Since the immortal has such a great ability, why don't you go and eliminate the evil ghosts in the northern turtle city?" ”

When the master heard this, he seemed to be a little surprised.

He thought for a moment, but frowned again.

Just when the young official thought that he had said the wrong thing and might offend the master, he heard the master say: "It's not that I can't take the powerful ghosts in the turtle city, it's really that they are special, and it is not easy to get rid of them all." ”

"Oh? I don't know what's so special about it? ”

"I think adults also know that Turtle City was originally a northern military fortress, and it was full of elites, but after being slaughtered by the people of the north, some of them turned into powerful ghosts." The master said, "First, these ghost soldiers and ghost generals are very capable, and secondly, they are all heroic souls who sacrificed their lives for the country. ”

"Oh?"

When several officials sitting with him heard that there was a way, they immediately came to their senses and looked at each other.

After a while, an older official said: "Even if the yin ghost in the turtle city is a heroic soul, after all, it has become a ghost, and now it has been a disaster for the people around it for a long time, not only to plague livestock, but also many people are scared to death. ”

The master's eyes rolled, and he lowered his voice and discussed with several officials.

I can't tell you how it is.

Song You could only hear the intermittent words, and judging from the expression on the official's face, he should have asked for a lot of money tactfully.

However, at this moment, a yin qi struck.

"Hoo ......"

Yin Qi came from afar, turned into Yin wind, and attacked the master who sat on the main seat with the officials.

"Bang!"

It seems that in addition to this trick, the master has no other ability to deal with demons and fighting methods, so he didn't check it for a while, and was directly blown backwards and rolled several times.

The officials were shocked.

The apprentices brought by the master were also shocked.

By the time the master straightened up, his face was already covered with blood.
