"I don't know what it is, the villagers call it the Bracelet Bead Niangniang, it should be a snake demon, the kind that can transform into shape."

Shen Yi said while thinking about it, he didn't know much or nothing about the existence of the enshrinement in the temple, anyway, there was just some information.

From his point of view, there are actually many villages like Daoguo Township, all of which are extremely remote and almost isolated from the regime.

Such a village will enshrine some messy things.

And this is how the "Bracelet Bead Niangniang" was born.

Build a temple for it, and design a totem that matches its image, so as to seek protection from a powerful being like the Bracelet Bead Niangniang.

But it's a pity that people don't bother to pay attention to it, just watching these ants do all kinds of unbelievable behaviors in order to please themselves.

How so...... Shen Yi wasn't sure that the bracelet bead Niangniang was fictional, not why, because there were really people in the village who had seen the so-called bracelet bead Niangniang, and there was more than one person, a total of three people, such as Meng Broken Finger's younger brother, Meng Lao Liu.

A little girl named Flowey.

There is also the son of the old man Li at the entrance of the village.

Of course, in addition to these three, there are many people who have seen it before, but they are all dead.

They have all seen the Bang Zhu Niangniang appear with their own eyes, and the son of the old man Li's family has also seen the Bang Zhu Niangniang eat people.

And the person who was eaten was Liu Erniang's ex-husband.

Then there are people who disappear from time to time in the village, and if they are not good, they will be caught and eaten by the bracelet bead Niangniang, but it is not good for sure.

There is very little order in human society in the society of the demon race, and if there is no demon king, then most of the remaining demons are more following the law of the jungle.

When you're hungry, you still have to eat.

You eat me, I eat you, that's all.

I won't stop eating you just because you worship me.

People are also in the recipes of the demon clan.

Even if all the missing people in the village are caused by the Bracelet Bead Niangniang, then this Bracelet Bead Niangniang is a better category.

It's just that a few people are missing occasionally, and if you run into a monster with a heavier spirit, the village that worships the demon will directly become a slaughtering base for people.

Forget about the evil, except for the servants who treat them as treasures, everyone else avoids them.

Of course, there are also talkative monsters, and they generally make some requirements for their villages, such as worshipping a pair of boys and girls every year......

Speaking of the bracelet bead Niangniang, Shen Yi has also paid attention to her in the past two months, a demon beast that can't transform can provide a lot of red gas, what if it's a demon that can transform into a shape?

This is Shen Yi's idea.

It's a pity that I've never seen the bracelet bead Niangniang appear, and I don't know if it's my own reason, the bracelet bead Niangniang is deliberately avoiding herself.

In short, in the two months I have been in the village, I have not heard that the villager in the village has disappeared.

"Why, do you want to go to that temple?"

"No need." Tsurumi Hatsumo shook her head, she didn't come out to see anything.

“OK。” Shen Yi nodded, turned his body and floated towards the shrine.

And she pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but blame: "You don't feel embarrassed to eat other people's chickens?" I'm about to eat all the chickens raised by Aunt Liu. ”

"Huh? What you said, what's wrong with eating a chicken? I didn't eat it for nothing. ”

"You're not eating for nothing?"

"I also send some prey to Aunt Liu's family from time to time, okay?"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Where are you going?"

"You'll find out later."

"Cut, what are you doing with such a mystery?" Shen Yi was very disdainful, and then looked at her Shentai, which produced a lot of red and yellow filaments, which were repeatedly up and down by the cyclone inside the Shentai, and they couldn't be seen if they didn't look carefully.

Looking away from those red and yellow filaments, Shen Yi found that the old witch's altar had undergone some changes compared to two months ago.

It's that there are some wrinkles on the top of the second layer of the shrine, which should have appeared under the influence of a cyclone, but it is said to be a wrinkle, but if you spread out and focus it, this wrinkle seems to be a crack.

Thinking about it, when the second layer of the Shentai was broken by the cyclone, the old witch successfully stepped into the net step.

"Here it is."

A short time later, she stopped at a stream outside the village.

"No, what the hell are you going to do?" Shen Yi asked again, but she didn't answer, and casually put the Dan furnace on the ground.

"Hey, I'll go, alchemy will be alchemy, what do you want me to do with you?"

"What if I answer Aunt Liu's words and I am taken away by a wild wolf?"

"You can't beat some wild wolves?"

"I don't even have the strength to hold a sword now, what do you say?"

"Okay, yes, right?"

"Huh?"

"Won't you just refine the pill in the house?"

"I'm not in a good state, I don't know if I can do alchemy, and it's not good to quarrel with Aunt Liu."

"Whatever you want." Shen Yi shook his head, didn't bother to pay attention to her, opened his mouth to suck, and swallowed some red and yellow filaments.

And a light red flame also appeared in the palm of Tsurumi Chuyun's hand, and the moment Danhuo appeared, she and Shen Yi were surprised.

"Good fellows. You haven't been lying in vain in the past two months, Danhuo has changed so much, you can be promoted to Wolf Alchemist? ”

Tsurumi Chuyun looked at the Danhuo in the palm of her hand for a while, and when she reacted, she shook her head: "No, my Danhuo is still in the process of transformation, but it's almost over." ”

Hearing her say this, Shen Yi could only nod, although the old witch's Danhuo turned red, there was still a significant difference with Bian Daoqing's Danhuo, and the color of the Danhuo was not so positive compared to him.

"Okay, don't talk yet, I'll try."

Taking a deep breath, Tsurumi Hatsuyun sent the Dan Fire in her hand to the bottom of the Dan Furnace, and when the Dan Fire was detached from her hand, there was a heat flow circulating inside the Dan Furnace, and after she threw the seven medicinal materials needed to refine the Boutique Yun Beast Pill into it, she closed her eyes, concentrated, and carefully controlled the Dan Fire.

Maybe it's because of the injury in her heart, she has an indescribable sense of powerlessness when she controls the Danhuo, no, it can't be said to be powerless, it's more like a feeling that her physical strength can't keep up.

Just like a normal person, he can run more than ten laps on the playground in one breath on weekdays, but today he is out of breath after running for some reason, and he is tired and out of breath after running less than three laps.

Now Tsurumi Chuyun Alchemy is similar to this, and the Danhuo is very tired.

The Dan fire, which should be soft at the bottom of the Dan furnace, was also constantly beating, giving people a very impatient feeling.

Shen Yi observed the situation outside with his senses, in short, the Danhuo didn't give him a good feeling, so he couldn't help but say: "Old witch, don't be reluctant, don't practice if you can't do it." ”

She didn't answer, frowning, trying to calm Danhuo.

"Old witch?"

"Old witch!"

"Hey! Did you hear that, old witch? ”

"Okay, let's talk about it after you finish refining this furnace."

“…… Old witch? ”

“……”

Later, Shen Yi persuaded several times, but she ignored it, and it lasted for more than two hours, and suddenly Tsurumi Chuyun seemed to have mastered some kind of skill, and the beating of the Danhuo gradually slowed down, although it was still beating, but it was better than at the beginning.

It was also at this time that she slowly opened her eyes, staring at the Dan furnace in front of her, her hands hanging down to support the ground, and then letting her body move back little by little.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yi felt a little bad and couldn't help but ask out loud.

This time, Tsurumi Hatsumo replied, and his tone was very steady.

"I want to see if I can leave it alone, like you said."

"Then why are you backing back?"

"Possibly...... ......Speaking of the word "fryer", her voice trembled twice, but her hands and feet did not stop, and after a while, she moved two or three meters away from the Dan furnace, and then watched her slowly get up from the ground, and every change of movement seemed so careful.

For fear of alarming Danhuo.

And as she stood up, the Dan fire at the bottom of the Dan furnace began to beat violently again, and it was even more serious than at the beginning.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo retreated all the way to a distance of ten meters, and this distance made her feel a little safe.

Fortunately, although the Dan Fire looked very unstable, there had been no accidents so far, and the wisps of light smoke wafting from the Dan Furnace still smelled very clean, with a clear fragrance of medicinal herbs.

After waiting for a while, the scene of the fryer still didn't happen, and Shen Yi asked again: "How is it?" ”

She shook her head, "It's okay." ”

Then he waited patiently on the side, chatting with Shen Yi from time to time.

The later alchemy process was very smooth, but it was not deliberately controlled, and it took a lot longer than before for the Dan Huo to be refined by Danhuo.

Before, Tsurumi Chuyun focused all his attention on alchemy, and it took more than an hour for a high-quality Beast Pill to be practiced, but now it took more than three hours to practice a high-quality Beast Pill.

After she extinguished the Dan Fire and took out the pill from the Dan furnace, the number of high-quality Beast Pills was only three, and the quality was also a little worse.

"Come on."

Tsurumi Chuyun handed over the three high-quality beast pills that had just been refined to Shen Yi, and the other party ate them and chewed them, and couldn't help but shake his head: "You can't do this." ”

"Be content." Different from Shen Yi, it was already very satisfying for her to let Danhuo make a furnace of pills by refining the pill independently, and when she put away the Dan furnace, she said to Shen Yi: "It's late at night, let's go back." ”

Shen Yi smashed his mouth twice, these three high-quality beast pills tasted a little bitter, but they also barely replenished the red qi of one unit.

On the way, he asked Tsurumi Hatsuun, "Old witch, when are you going to leave?" ”

"Listen to you."

"Listen to me, are you sure?" Shen Yi asked rhetorically, and Tsurumi Chuyun turned around and said, "Aren't you my master?" ”

"Oh, and this realization."

“……”

"Okay, I'll decide."

Shen Yi thought about it, the old witch was a wanted criminal in Daliang, and the Liang family of the royal family was looking for her everywhere, and it would be dangerous to stay in the border of Daliang for one more day, so he wanted to leave early.

But considering that he may be in Jizhou now, leaving Daoguo Township, the possibility of not encountering evil spirits along the way is almost zero, of course, Shen Yi can deal with it if he really encounters danger, but if it is too troublesome, he can save himself, but he may not be able to save the old witch.

She is now seriously injured and has not healed, and she walks lightly, what combat power can she have?

Thinking of this, Shen Yi could only say: "Forget it, let's wait until your injuries are better." ”

"Oh."

Tsurumi Hatsukumo nodded, chatted without a word on the road, and entered the village unconsciously.

It's late at night, and all the villagers have turned off the lights, and most of the places are shrouded in darkness, except for Aunt Liu's house, where the lights are still on.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Aunt Liu stuffing firewood into the stove in the hall, and Xiong Yingchun sitting next to her, her cigarette pipe gurgling.

Seeing the two of them, Crane saw Chuyun and asked out loud: "Aunt Liu, why don't you sleep at such a late hour?" ”

Hearing her voice, Aunt Liu hurriedly turned her head and got up and walked over, then grabbed her hand and blamed, "Where are you Nizi?" Why did you come back so late. ”

"Uh...... I went to find something to eat for Xuan Li, so I came back a little late......"

"Looking for something to eat? We've got food here. ”

"Auntie, what Xuan Li eats is different from what we eat."

"What does it eat? Tomorrow, I'll let you Uncle Xiong go into the mountains to find it. ”

"Auntie, leave the matter to me, and I won't bother Uncle Xiong." She patted Aunt Liu's hand gently, and the other party seemed to think of something, so she quickly let go and ran to the hall to bring a bowl of thick chicken soup.

"Come girl, drink this bowl of soup to warm your body."

"Auntie......" The kindness of the other party made her a little uncomfortable, so it was difficult to face it, but in the end she took the bowl of chicken soup and nodded: "Well, I know Auntie, thank you." ”

"You kid."

Aunt Liu blamed Tsurumi Chuyun again, and Shen Yi, who saw this scene, couldn't help but open his mouth, especially wanting to laugh.

Watching Tsurumi Chuyun finish drinking this bowl of chicken soup that was still warm, and then Aunt Liu pulled her into the house again, lit the oil lamp and pointed to the bed.

"I've laid out two quilts, and you'll sleep here, and if it's cold, you'll cover another one."

"Uh-huh, I will, auntie, it's not too late, you guys should go to bed quickly."

“……”

It may be almost early in the morning now, and Aunt Liu didn't stay long, and said something to Tsurumi Chuyun, and then left, but the door was not closed.

As soon as she left, Shen Yi walked in, and Tsuru saw Chuyun sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him a little stunned.

"What are you doing here?"

"Shall I come in and sleep? What else should I do? ”

"You sleep here too?"

"Huh?" Shen Yi tilted his head twice, pulled out a blanket at the bed and lay on his stomach, this behavior made him frown.

"You've been sleeping here for the two months I've been in a coma?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"What can I do to you?" He tilted his head and came to a soul torture, which made Tsurumi Chuyun speechless for a while, so he could only blow out the oil lamp, take off his shoes depressedly, and lie on the bed covered with a quilt.

She wouldn't believe what Shen Yi said, this guy must have done something to herself.

But in fact, Shen Yi didn't lie, although he slept in the same room with her at night in the past two months, he really didn't do anything to her.

Xiong Yingchun, Aunt Liu and his wife will come in to visit every once in a while, and before dawn in the morning, they will bring porridge and feed it, making the old witch like their own child.

If you really did something bad to her...... Does it count as secretly scratching the soles of her feet at night?

But just when Shen Yi thought about these things, Tsurumi Hatsuun probably also thought that he would do this, so he suddenly lifted the quilt, threw the pillow to the bed, changed directions, and fell asleep again with his head facing Shen Yi's side.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing, sleep." (End of chapter)
