At night, when I came to the entrance of the village, I didn't see any lights inside, and in the dim night, the outline of the courtyard wall of the house loomed, like a black fog, and the whole village became a ghost.

What's even more strange is that it is only night, and it is the entertainment time for the people to chat after dinner, but there is no sound in the whole village, and no other sounds can be heard.

Ying Wuxin walked to the door of a family's courtyard and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly heard a murmured whisper, "Don't come, don't come, don't come—"

His face changed slightly, and he should have unintentionally kicked the door to save people inside, but after thinking about it, the person inside was afraid of himself, maybe it was himself at this time.

I glanced at the surrounding roads and listened intently for a while, but found nothing else.

In the second family, Ying Wuxin heard the woman's cry, "Don't come, don't come, Xiaoni is still young, not sensible, not sensible-"

"Mother, I'm afraid, I don't want to play with him. "There was also a girl's immature voice.

"Don't talk, my mother won't let you go, she won't let you go-"

At this time, a man sighed helplessly: "Alas, Xiao'e, our family won the lottery this time, even if it is after tonight, tomorrow will still be-"

"I don't care—" The woman snapped the man's words.

The room fell silent, and no other sounds could be heard, and it should have been unintentional to continue along the path outside the courtyard, ready to hear more.

Da-da-da-da.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door not far away, and it sounded very clear in the silent night.

The whole village was silent, dead silent, including the people who had taken refuge in the darkness of their houses, and they held their breath, not daring to breathe, for fear of making a noise and attracting something terrible.

Ying Wuxin frowned, at this time, the villagers should have gone home separately, judging from the situation that they were so afraid, they did not have the courage to go out.

So who is knocking on the door at this time?

Is it something terrible that the villagers are afraid of?

"It's good to come, this time I'll let you see the power of this Dao hero. "You should unintentionally use the natural energy in your body into your hands, make gestures, and be ready to use the method at any time to attack the opponent.

Leaning against the wall, like a ghost, Ying Ying unintentionally sneaked through the dark shadows, silently crossed several courtyards with less than half of the outer walls, reached the area near where the knock on the door appeared, and hid behind a corner.

At the turn of the alley in front of him, it was the family that made a knocking sound, and he leaned against the wall unintentionally, his body tensed slightly, held his breath, and rushed out in a flash.

"Bold and evil, look at the move!"

With a loud shout, Ying unintentionally formed a seal with both hands, and pushed it towards a black shadow in front of the courtyard in front of him, and the energy was stimulated, spreading in an instant, covering a radius of more than ten zhang.

The house tiles within the range all flew up, like a colony of bats in the dark, swooping down intensively, with a whistling wind.

"Ahh

"Little Daoist, Master, Master, the apprentice has finally seen your old man again—" After a cheer of surprise, the black shadow suddenly howled and rushed over, hugging Ying Wuxin's thigh.

"Master, Master, the apprentice will never leave your old man's house again, the apprentice will always follow you in the future, and will never leave you half a step again. ”

Should you be unintentional and slightly bared your teeth, is Lao Tzu that old?

However, seeing Wang Banxian crying like a seventy-year-old child, he couldn't open his mouth to blame, waved his hand to repel all the tiles, and returned to the original place, which pulled Wang Banxian up.

"Tell me, what the hell have you encountered?"

Wang Banxian's body trembled, "I, I, I don't know." ”

"Xiaodao - Master, I really didn't lie to you, little old man, I was swept away by the waves, choked on several mouthfuls of water, people passed out, I didn't know anything, I woke up by the river in the evening, saw that there was a village here, so I rushed over, thinking that I could find something to eat, change clothes or something, who knew that this village is so xenophobic, there is no family willing to open the door. ”

Ying Wuxin looked at him and nodded slowly: "Oh, I see, then why did you suddenly change your name to call me Master?"

Wang Banxian fell to his knees with a puff, kowtowed three times in a row, and wept bitterly: "Master has a life-saving grace for me, and also guided me to start cultivating, which is comparable to the grace of recreation, such a great kindness and teaching, closer than my own father, I am naturally willing to worship you as a teacher." ”

Glancing at him with disgust, Ying said unintentionally: "I don't want to accept such a stupid apprentice as you, I'm still so old, saying that I am your master, wouldn't people think that I am an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years." ”

"It doesn't matter, in the future, I will only call you Master in my heart, and I will call you Xiao Daoye outside. Wang Banxian got up, picked up the fortune-telling banner with one hand, patted the dust on the hem of the robe with the other, and smiled flatteringly.

"That's not going to work either. ”

"Master, no, little Daoist, why not, in fact, I'm still very talented, I-"

Ying Wuxin glared at him and said, "I don't accept incompetents." ”

Wang Banxian's face wrinkled into bitter gourd, and after a while, he thought of something, and said in surprise: "Little Daoye, I am good at cooking, and my cooking skills are excellent, you see that I carry so many spices with me, I will definitely not deceive you, as long as the little old man and I follow you in the future, I will no longer have to eat raw and dry jerky, and there will be delicious food every meal." ”

As he spoke, Wang Banxian took out a small wooden box wrapped in oiled paper, opened it gently, and different pungent smells such as fragrant, spicy, chong, and pungent spread out.

"Ahh

Ying Wuxin couldn't help but sneez, "What kind of spice is this, why are you so rushed?"

With a smile, Wang Banxian said proudly: "Star anise, cloves, spicy seeds, that is, dogwood, yellow mustard, Sichuan pepper, shredded ginger, etc., dozens of flavors of seasoning." ”

"Why are there so many spices, but no salt and sugar?" said Ying Wuxin curious.

Wang Banxian said proudly: "Little Dao Ye doesn't know this, there are many benefits of more seasonings, you can use different seasonings to cook different ingredients, and remove or cover up some of the original bad tastes and textures of the ingredients, so that the dishes only taste delicious and have a good taste, wouldn't it be better, as for salt and sugar, these are ordinary flavorings, you can buy them anywhere, there is no need to bring them on your body, and it is easy to melt if you have more." ”

"What if I can't buy it?"

"How could it not be bought?"

Ying Wuxin said seriously: "For example, when you go to the barren mountains and mountains, who will sell it to you, such as now, who will sell it to you." ”

"Uh-" Wang Banxian was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought about these situations, and he had never encountered them, so he was naturally unprepared.

"In the future, as my apprentice, the place you want to go is either deep mountains and old forests, or ghost villages and wilderness, you had better be well prepared. ”

Wang Banxian nodded again and again, and said happily: "Thank you Master for your advice, I will definitely be ready, little old man, and ensure that I am well prepared, so that Master can enjoy delicious food in the barren mountains and mountains." ”

"Hmm. "You should nod your head in dissatisfaction.

Da-da-da-da.

A crisp knock sounded on the door again, followed by another voice, "Let's go out and play?"

The two of them were agitated, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs, and their eyes looked at the source of the sound in horror.
