Chapter 188: Overlord Meal
"Presumably, Mo Hua asked you to send the scroll here, thinking that it was time to fight back against the Four Kings." After saying that, the proprietress stared at Shen Mo: "I have no one under my command now, plus the barbarian king has been staring at me, these eight heavenly dragon fires are up to you to find." ”
"Me?" was silent in disbelief.
The proprietress nodded: "It's you! Mo Hua sent you to deliver the scroll, naturally he has great trust in you, and I am more relieved that you will find it." ”
Shen Mo was a little confused, if these eight Heavenly Dragon Fire were really as powerful as the proprietress said, she must have paid great attention to it; But when she saw the sheepskin scroll just now, she didn't care at all, but it was like something ordinary, and she kept weighing it in her hand;
Perhaps seeing the silent doubts, the proprietress chuckled: "These eight Heavenly Dragon Fires are the same as the Mixed Yuan One Qi Duel, they are extremely mysterious spells, for some people, it is a supreme treasure, but for me, it is just a waste." ”
If he said this, Shen Mo could understand it, although the responsibility was too great, but Shen Mo and Mo Hua had the same goal, which was to defeat the Four Kings; Shen Mo glanced at the sheepskin scroll, and after a moment of silence, he still reached out and took the sheepskin scroll;
However, when Shen Mo took the sheepskin scroll, he asked rhetorically: "Aren't you afraid that after I find it, I will learn it myself, and I will not come back?"
The proprietress smiled: "Of course I'm not afraid." ”
"Why?" Shen Mo couldn't guess what the proprietress was thinking;
The corners of the proprietress raised slightly, revealing a silent expression that she couldn't see through: "There are two reasons, one is that Mo Hua will not look at the wrong person, and the other is that our goal is the same, even if you don't come back, you must attack the four kings, as long as you defeat the four kings, what if the eight heavenly dragon fires return to you?"
Although this reason is very arbitrary, it is so real that Shen Mo cannot refute it;
Putting the sheepskin scroll into his arms, Shen Mo suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "I'm not familiar with this world, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to find a mess." ”
The proprietress nodded: "This is easy to do." ”
After that, she snapped her fingers, and the little girl in pink who had previously blocked Shen Mo from entering the Wind and Rain Restaurant pushed the door and walked in;
The proprietress waved her hand at the little girl: "Bring that stinky boy!"
The little maid answered, and turned away, and when the maid returned, there was another boy of fifteen or sixteen years old;
The boy was good-looking, but he was a little short, and he stood with the little maid as if he were the little girl's younger brother;
And such a young man who seems to be a girl, but his mouth is dirty, and he scolds: "Hurry up and let Lao Tzu go!"
The proprietress glared, and a momentum emanated from her body, directly pressing the young man to the ground; the proprietress shouted softly: "Give me some rules, otherwise I will cut off your mouth and nose, cut off your limbs, and make you a human!"
When the young man finally closed his mouth, the proprietress pointed to Shen Mo: "You take him to find something, and after the matter is completed, I will restore your free body." With that, she took out a small porcelain vase and took out a small worm from it;
When the boy saw this little worm, his body shook: "What are you going to do?!"
The proprietress didn't answer, but used the momentum exuded from her body to freeze him in place, and then put the worm on the boy's arm, which crawled around on the boy's arm, and after a while, with a scream from the boy, the worm bit out a small hole in the boy's arm and followed the hole into the boy's body.
The young man's face turned pale, and his tone trembled with fear: "What the hell is this?!"
"This is the thousand-year-old leech I got from the poisonous witch, it won't kill you, but every full moon night, it will make you feel painful, don't think about running away! ”
The young man just wanted to scold, but when he saw the eyes of the proprietress, he forcibly put back the swear words, and then raised his head at Shen Mo: "What are you doing in a daze?
Although I don't know what the origin of this young man is, since he is the person introduced by the proprietress, he should not be wrong;
Bidding farewell to the proprietress and under the leadership of the young man, Shen Mo quickly went out of Huofeng Ridge, and after telling the young man the destination, the two went all the way south;
The two of them moved quickly, and they had already walked more than fifty miles the next day; although they were looking for something about the Eight Heavenly Dragon Fires, the young man seemed more anxious than Shen Mo; what was thinking, eighty percent of the little worm stimulated the young man's enthusiasm; in the casual conversation, Shen Mo learned that the young man's name was Shao Siqing.
"How did you become a slave?" Shen Mo and Shao Siqing walked side by side, bored and asked.
Shao Siqing took a sip: "I was hungry, and I didn't give money after eating." ”
"It turned out to be an overlord meal. Shen Mo thought to himself, no wonder the proprietress had such an attitude towards him, after all, he opened the door to do business, especially in the restaurant business, and what he was most afraid of was eating white food.
"What kind of bullshit overlord meal, isn't it just a mouthful of food, making a fuss, and I don't eat it in another house!" Shao Siqing scolded and scolded, his temper was a little ruffian;
However, with Shao Siqing's company, the journey was not boring, and the two went all the way south, and after half a month, they arrived at a boundary called Cross Slope;
There are two forks in the road, one is a flat and spacious road, and the other is straight into the endless mountains in the distance; there is a tea stall in the middle of the fork, and the shopkeeper is an old man over seventy years old; although the customers are in twos and threes, he is also dedicated, and constantly pours sweet tea for the guests.
Shen Mo and Shao Siqing found a corner and sat down, begged for two cups of tea, and drank them by themselves; a cup of tea was down, and just as they were about to continue their journey, an unfamiliar voice came from their ears, and when they looked at the voice, the person who spoke was a man who looked like a scholar sitting not far away.
The man's eyes stared at the two forks in the road, and he said thoughtfully: "Two years ago, I followed my father to pick up cloth in Star City, and I walked through these two roads, when I went, I took the official road, and it took a month to arrive; ”
"This relationship is good, I arrived in Star City early, we can play for a few more days" Sitting opposite the man, a slightly fat boy responded.
The white-haired shopkeeper, who was boiling water on the side, heard the conversation between the two and snorted softly: "I think you are dying; ”
Hearing this, the two sons glanced at each other, and the fat boy asked, "What do you mean?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the fork in the road with a very jealous look, and said mysteriously: "This road, a lot of people have died in the past two years, more than ten people have died in it this year alone, and there are three corpses that I dragged out of the intersection from the intersection. ”
The timid fat boy turned pale with fright: "Really?"
The shopkeeper casually pointed to the fork in the road: "You see, even the birds pass by, and they refuse to rest in the woods on the side of the fork." ”
The two sons looked at each other, took a sip of tea, and said no more, but it was clear from the expressions on their faces that they were not going to take that risk;
When the shopkeeper was about to warn the silence again, he found that there was still a shadow of silence somewhere, only a few coins on the table;
And Shen Mo had already taken Shao Si Qing into the path.
"Hey, didn't you listen to the old man who said that this road can't be walked? If you want to die, why do you want to pull me?" Shao Siqing followed behind Shen Mo, looking around with a wary look, and his mouth was still complaining.
Shen Mo kept walking: "We are very short of time, and if we can save time, we will naturally take the small road." ”
"Even if it's to save time, it's not this provincial law! life is important, or is time important?" Shao Siqing's mouth was like a cannon, crackling and talking;
Shen Mo ignored him, and walked into the depths, the path crossed two mountains, and when Shen Mo and Shao Siqing reached the position of the mountainside of the first mountain, they suddenly felt the earth tremble under their feet, the trees fell, and the beasts in the forest fled in all directions;
"It's not good! I said I won't let you go this way, you have to listen!" Shao Si Qing panicked and hid behind Shen Mu;
Shen Mo also began to mumble in his heart, could it be true that the old man was right?
