Chapter 11: The Wind Rises
Follow him, you will definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food! The armadillo looked at him with even more adoration.
Mo Bai glanced at her silently and pocketed the money bag.
Let Xiao Er serve two pots of wine and drink it silently.
Seeing that the two of them were like this, Zhao Yuanling simply stopped worrying and followed the two to eat.
As soon as she ate a piece of meat in her mouth, she was so disgusted that she quickly spit it out.
"It's disgusting." She frowned as she looked at the slices of meat on her plate.
The armadillo was eating happily, and when she said this, he directly picked up the meat in her bowl and swallowed it.
First cautiously, then swallowed with a hearty treat.
"No, it's delicious." She wondered.
Hearing this, Mo Bai also picked up a piece and tasted it.
He shook his head to indicate that there was no problem.
Zhao Yuanling tried to pick up another piece, but the taste just now still deeply remained in her mind and stimulated her taste buds, and for a moment, she still didn't dare to try it easily.
At this time, the armadillo suddenly remembered something, "The old Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost at the door said that you can't eat meat." ”
"I see." Zhao Yuanling changed the bowl of rice and asked the store to serve some vegetarian dishes again.
Sure enough, eating it was not as nauseous as before.
The armadillo didn't stop moving, his mouth was full and he sighed: "It's really pitiful, I can only eat wild vegetables in the future." ”
Zhao Yuanling choked for a moment, he has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to the sea of meat and wine, and now it is acceptable to eat a vegetarian meal or two, if it is a vegetarian meal......
Thinking of this, my head couldn't help but droop.
The three of them walked out of the restaurant, and the sky was gradually darkening.
The darkness of the sky was terrifyingly deep, and soon, the last oppressive blue was also infected by the night.
The shops on both sides of the street have closed their doors, and the shops and vendors that had been closed during the day have poured out.
The night is the same as the day, but it is not the same lively.
People don't seem to be able to see the sharp fangs and hideous faces of monsters, just for the bustle of buying and selling, and even some talk and laugh shoulder to shoulder.
Zhao Yuanling endured the discomfort in his heart and followed Mo Bai forward.
She noticed that it seemed to be a bit livelier than the daytime market, and there were even many unfamiliar faces.
Zhao Yuanling: "Are these people from other places?" ”
After having the broken silver taels in his hand, the armadillo made a generous move, and walked here and there to buy and buy, and his hands were soon stuffed with food.
She bit the sugar gourd in her mouth and said vaguely: "The night market here is mostly foreigners, and they are all engaged in some unsightly things during the day, but there are indeed a lot of people tonight." ”
Zhao Yuanling asked, "Then what are we doing here?" ”
Armadillo: "Do something unseemly." ”
Zhao Yuanling: ......
Mo Bai glanced at the armadillo and explained: "The earthly pearl can peek into all the memories in the depths of a person's heart, and it can be used for good and bad. ”
"What the world will compete for, naturally will not be put on the surface."
The most important thing is that the earthly bead is condensed by the demon sucking the blood of the human race.
If ordinary monsters want to condense into earthly beads, they must kill more than 10,000 people.
Once the earthly bead is taken out, the mother body will be wiped out, which means that if you want to get the earthly pearl, you must first kill the demon.
But how could such a fierce monster be killed so easily?
It is also turned into powder immediately after use, and cannot be used again.
So it's a rare treasure, and it's hard to find.
Trying to find the earthly pearl is tantamount to looking for a needle in the sea.
Only then did Zhao Yuanling realize that what Mo Bai had been saying to Master Song was not a polite prevarication.
"Otherwise, we will directly tell Master Song that we can't find it, it's better than hanging all the time, right?" The armadillo also knew that the earthly pearl was not as easy to find as he imagined.
Even if they have the ability to reach the sky, they can't fight the big demon.
"The demon who has harmed people grabs a handful, and the demon who kills 10,000 people is the same as killing people, if you provoke a big demon for the sake of the earthly pearl, wouldn't it be to send it to death in vain?" The armadillo muttered in a low voice: "What's more, this old lady Song is not necessarily a demon because of her good looks, maybe the grave grass is two meters high." If you find the earthly pearl, you may not be able to find Zhang Qingsheng, isn't this still for nothing. ”
Zhao Yuanling was silent, what the armadillo said was very right, even if there was an earthly pearl to see the past of Mrs. Song, there was no guarantee that they would definitely be able to find Zhang Qingsheng.
Whether the old lady knew what kind of characteristics the family lived in, they could not assure.
Or, Zhang Qingsheng is a person who made it up?
"What do you think?" Zhao Yuanling asked.
"Minister, listen to the princess."
Zhao Yuanling thought for a moment, and finally said slowly: "What the armadillo said is very right, this is too time-consuming and laborious. ”
"That's it." Before the armadillo could finish speaking, Zhao Yuanling interrupted: "But I still want to try." ”
The firmness of her words without any room for refutation made the armadillo puzzled, and she frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You are about to die, and you still care about the life and death of others, you are not a living Bodhisattva." ”
Zhao Yuanling knew that she was doing it for her own good, and said with a smile: "Now that we have finished spending a piece of gold leaf, it is difficult to tell Master Song that we can't find it." ”
"What's more, if we can find it, this money will also come from the Song Mansion, and we will have additional remuneration in addition to this." Zhao Yuanling nodded the tip of her upturned little nose, "You, you'll have meat for all meals in the future." ”
With that, the armadillo lowered his pursed mouth.
"There are a lot of people there, let's go and see." A vendor on Zhao Yuanling's finger was surrounded by people.
The armadillo squeezed her up, "It doesn't seem to be anything special here." ”
The stall is full of a lot of rare treasures, and the price is not expensive, but everyone just wants to pick it up and put it down. Zhao Yuanling has been watching from the side for a long time, and no one has bought it.
These people really seem to just want to see.
Not only this place, but even the other vendors are also lacking in interest, and they just turn a blind eye to the customers who come and go.
"How do you sell this stone, uncle?"
Zhao Yuanling picked up a psychic stone and asked casually.
The vendor, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes and glanced at Zhao Yuanling, and then closed his eyes again.
Listlessly, he said, "If you really want to buy it, you can see it." ”
"Hey, you're talking really interesting, why do you ask you if you don't want to buy it?" The armadillo's temper came up at once, and he reasoned with the vendor.
The vendor looked at the house of the two little girls, and directly got up to coax the people away.
"What if I don't sell you two? , my stuff I say! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was against his back, and the vendor's heart was cold and he immediately softened: "Sell, sell!" ”
Sensing that the murderous aura behind him was dissipating, the vendor cautiously turned his head to look.
He is a good-looking man, but he cares more about what he holds in his hands.
His gaze slowly moved down, and it turned out that he was holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand.
"Ouch, scare the hell out of me!" His body immediately relaxed, wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said, "It's not that we don't want to do business, but we really can't help it." ”
"In the past two days, people from other places have flocked to the town to look here and there, but none of them paid for it, you see I sold it all night, and none of it was sold."
Speaking of this, the vendor said with a crying voice: "This jade stone has been asked hundreds of times in one night, and no one has bought it when my saliva is dry." ”
What's even stranger is that when I ask them what they want to buy, they don't say, one or two mouths are tightly covered like something.
The vendor felt bitter.
Zhao Yuanling put down the jade and looked at the armadillo, the armadillo comprehended that he would casually stop a hurried pedestrian on the side, and he didn't look like a local from the way he was dressed.
"Where is the little brother going when he leaves in such a hurry? I don't think you're a local, and it's the first time we've been here, why don't you make friends? "The armadillo gives full play to her social cattle skills.
However, the man not only ignored her, but also scolded with disgust: "Don't come to the set, everyone has their own ability." ”
Looking at the back of the person leaving, the armadillo was a little stunned, "What does it mean to rely on your ability?" ”
"Hmph, he won't tell you." A hoarse young man's voice sounded, and everyone heard it.
I saw a man wearing a shabby hat on his head, his hands around his chest, and his body half leaning against the trunk of a tree.
The armadillo wondered, "Who are you?" ”
He lifted the black veil, revealing a slightly immature face, his lips were tense and his expression was solemn, but he happened to have a baby face, which not only did not look serious, but made people feel a little cute.
He looked like he was no more than eight or nine years old.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's important that I can give you the answers you want." The young man had a straight face and a solemn expression.
The armadillo nodded very approvingly, and asked shyly, "How do you know what we are going to ask?" ”
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he stood up straight: "I naturally know." ”
"Oh, then I want to ask who was the name of that little brother just now? Where do you live? Can there be a match? How many people are in the family? ”
"What are you asking about this?" The young man obviously didn't expect her to play cards so unreasonably, and his expression was a little tense.
The armadillo shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression: "What do you care if I ask about this, I just want to know the answer." ”
After a moment, her young man said in a shyly provocative voice: "What you said just now can't be handsome and bragging, right?" ”
"I ......" the young man's face turned red, his mouth slightly open but he couldn't say a word.
The hood fell with the wind, revealing a pair of snow-white rabbit ears, which turned out to be a rabbit spirit.
He hurriedly picked up the hat, and ran away in shame, not forgetting to put down the cruel words: "You Terrans are really unreasonable. ”
"Hey, who do you say is unreasonable?" The armadillo is not a good stubble, and the rabbit spirit runs fast, but she chases faster.
In the blink of an eye, the boy's feet lifted off the ground and he was lifted back in a gray state.
"Put me down! Put me down," he struggled with, his face still flushed, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or annoyed.
It wasn't until his feet hit the ground that he put the hat back on, and he looked like he was just now.
"Did I just say a word and arrest me? It's a big deal, I just apologize. ”
The tone of the bold words said the words of confession, and Zhao Yuanling couldn't help but chuckle.
