Eight

The Sifang City that has just entered the spring seems to be still in winter, the foggy gray has spread from the city to the outside of the city, the new shoots on the branches only emerge, the whole tree is still bare, the withered yellow and tender green grass are mixed with each other, and the mountains in the distance have a hue, but the small river on the edge of the city has thawed, and the sound of trickling water is also a little interesting to hear.

But at this moment, we don't have such leisure and leisure, the three of us stared at Granny She walking slowly in front of us with six eyes.

I thought that the prayer ceremony was just a blessing, but I didn't want to find that Granny She had absorbed the essence from the bodies of the people in the city, so I decided to follow her to find out, and when she left from the altar, she followed not far behind, not wanting to turn a tree, but lost it.

After collecting the invisibility technique, the three of them looked at the tree and didn't know where to start.

"Why did you disappear here? Could it be that the old witch is a tree spirit? Liansheng touched his chin and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he slammed off a piece of bark, and carefully observed the reaction, the trunk did not shake or bleed, but the branches were moved twice by the wind.

"Did you go into a tree hole?" I circled the tree twice, and I couldn't even find a single crack in the tree.

Lian Sheng angrily punched the trunk of the tree, "I knew that the old witch was so cunning, and she should have been killed as soon as she got out of the city!" ”

Su Yi shook her head and said, "Don't be reckless, it is not known what the origin of this old woman is, but the ebony staff is a powerful magic weapon." ”

Liansheng said: "I thought that the 'Blessing Ceremony' could really call the wind and rain and turn against the sky, but I didn't want it to be a pretext for harming people, I had to break this old witch's body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

I looked at him speechlessly, "You see that you are reckless again, this whole city is pointing to her for good weather, you have broken her body to pieces at this moment, I think those people have to treat you as a scourge!" ”

"Then let her do whatever she wants?" Liansheng snorted.

I smiled, "Even such a demon can't be suppressed, how can we still have the face to find the four fierce beasts, but we have to pay attention to a way and method, your tofu-loving father often says, 'I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry'!" ”

"you, your father loves tofu!" Liansheng scolded with a smile.

"I loved to eat it more than 500 years ago, and now those who don't love it can only eat incense." I touched the tree and said perfunctorily.

"Don't be poor, Su Yi can't stand you anymore." Liansheng patted me on the shoulder and turned to chase after Su Yi.

When they approached the city gate, they found a tea shed set up next to the city gate.

I looked at the tea shed and wondered, "Did you have this tea shed when you just left the city?" ”

"What's so strange about this, you don't want people to come out of the stall later?" Lian Sheng closed the fan and tapped it twice, and walked towards the tea shed, "I'm really a little hungry, look at it!" ”

Su Yi and I glanced at each other and followed.

"Boss, serve a pot of tea!" After the three of them sat down, Liansheng beckoned.

"Come on!" The stall owner came out of the curtain from behind and smiled earnestly, "What else do the three guest officers want to come?" ”

"What do you have here?" Liansheng asked with bright eyes.

The stall owner skillfully added tea and made a tone, "Three guest officers, please listen, we have clear soup noodles, fried sauce noodles, pulled noodles, plate noodles, knife-cut noodles, wide and narrow long and short hand-rolled noodles, round and flat, ......"

"You can rest for a while, is there anything else besides noodles?"

"It's gone."

"Then let's do it, no matter what noodles you have, serve three bowls first!"

"Come on, sit down!"

After a while, the shopkeeper quickly brought the noodles to the table, and after arranging a stop, he laughed on the side: "The three guest officers are not locals, right?" ”

I laughed and said, "How so?" ”

The boss rubbed his hands and smiled: "I saw the three guest officers walking outside this city for an hour, if it is a person from Sifang City, these scenery have already been seen sparsely and ordinary, and there is no such interest as the three guest officers." ”

My heart moved, and I said with a smile: "The boss really has good eyesight, the three of us have just arrived, and this landscape has been appreciated, I don't know if there are any interesting places or interesting excitement to see in the city?" ”

"If you talk about interesting places, there are no Taoist temples or temples in the city, but there are no places to visit." The boss pondered.

"This huge city, there is not a single temple or Taoist temple?" Lotus Shengqi Dao.

"But no, although the villain has only settled here for more than 20 years, but I heard the old people in the city say that this city has not been dedicated to gods and Buddhas since it was built, and the wind and rain all depend on the annual blessing ceremony.

The three of us glanced at each other, and Liansheng smiled: "Is this blessing ceremony really so effective?" ”

"If it doesn't work, how can the little one move here to live here for more than 20 years, every year Granny She has to personally take the stage to pray for blessings, her old man is really a good person!"

"What kind of character is this Granny She, who has such great ability?"

"I heard that Granny She is a living immortal, how long has this city been, how long has Granny She lived, must she be more than four hundred years old?" The boss mysteriously lowered his voice, "I don't believe it, but I always want to be a hundred years old." ”

"Listening to what the boss said, I am also fascinated by this living immortal, but I don't know where to visit her old man's house?" I sighed as if I couldn't see it.

"Granny She lives on Xingyang Road in the northeast of the city, and the three guest officers can find her by asking around, but it is difficult to see her old man, and we can only see her once when praying for blessings."

When he arrived at the door of Granny She, Fang found that the inquiry was indeed an inquiry, and it was a little redundant everywhere, and there was a mansion at the end of Xingyang Road in the northeast of the city that was higher than all the houses on the same street, which could be seen at a glance.

"This old witch is hiding here to enjoy, but we are suffering from that stubble outside the city, and this son is really angry if he doesn't make trouble for him!" Lian Sheng angrily closed the fan, and was about to call the door violently.

"Don't be impulsive yet," Su Yi looked at me, "Meisheng, look at this mansion, it seems like you've seen ...... somewhere."

I took a serious look at it twice, and this one was really more and more familiar, and the vermilion gate was neatly nailed with the golden copper nails of the 7749 Road, copper nails...... A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "Look...... View ......"

Lian Sheng replied casually: "Ju dove, in the river island? ”

"Don't make trouble," I waved my hand and said to Su Yi excitedly, "Su Yi, I remembered!" On the day when the dream saw us down, it was in front of this mansion, and I remember the number of nails! ”

"Yes, isn't this the place," Su Yi nodded, thoughtful, "Could it be that Senior Sister deliberately stopped here that day?" ”

I thought back to the black bear spirit and couldn't help but say, "Absolutely! Bao Buqi wanted to send us in directly to be the old witch's bosom friend! ”

Under my tireless, meticulous, and repeated complaints, Liansheng also knew what happened back then, and he couldn't hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth, "It's really not impossible, but why didn't you send it in when it came?" ”

I thought about it once, gritted my teeth and said, "When I arrived, I remembered that I couldn't seal mana this time!" ”

“……”

Liansheng coughed lightly, and nodded his palm with a fan, "Don't think about it, no matter what the priest means, anyway, now we have to deal with this old witch, but, how do we get in?" ”

I said: "I'm afraid that I will startle the snake if I go in rashly, so it's better for me to go in stealth first to explore the truth and then make plans." ”

"I'll go with you, so I can take care of you." Liansheng patted me on the shoulder.

Su Yi nodded: "It's okay, it's just that it's getting late, and the situation inside is even more unpredictable, so let's come back tomorrow." ”
