Chapter 121: The Dungeon
One night's refining of qi is enough to restore spiritual strength, and there is even a lot of surplus. As a result, many Qi Refiners have long since given up the term "sleeping" and simply call it meditation. Qi refiners chase immortality, every inch of time wasted is particularly shameful, if the elders in the sect know that the junior is lazy, it is common to directly punish him for facing the wall for half a year.
Early this morning, Su Mu Youyou opened her eyes, only feeling full of energy, without the slightest tiredness. Slowly pushed open the door and walked out, and saw Jiang Lili practicing knives in the yard, so he said with a smile: "Originally, when I was spitting, I heard a faint sound outside the door, but I didn't expect you to get up so early to practice knives." β
Jiang Lili didn't reply, and Su Mu didn't care, just sat down against the threshold, squinting slightly at Jiang Lili's movements. first raised his eyebrows, and then his face became solemn, and there was less confusion in his eyes, and more of a trace of essence, and then his eyebrows were raised, and the surprise on his face became more and more intense.
The last knife fell, Jiang Lili let out a long breath, squinted his eyes slightly and stood still in place for half a minute, and then continued the topic of Su Mu before: "What? Do you still think I'm the kind of lazy person I am?"
Su Mu smiled, in the past few days, he had seen Cheng Ru's ability to sleep, and he wouldn't open his eyes at all until the morning every day, even if others could disturb him, he just scolded in a daze, turned over and fell asleep. At this moment, Su Mu shook his head and said, "It's a blessing to be able to sleep, and it's even more a blessing to sleep soundly." β
Jiang Lili took out a towel and wiped the sweat on his face, "Isn't that the greatest blessing in the world after death?"
Su Mu knew that Jiang Lili was such a human being, so he didn't mention it anymore, and only said, "What about the ghost mother and Wu Zhouren?"
Jiang Lili sat down on a chair in the courtyard, poured herself a cup of fragrant tea, and took a sip slowly.
This fragrant fire tea is a unique tea in the underworld, just like yin brewing, but this fragrant fire tea is more common and cheaper than yin brewing, and ordinary ghosts can also eat a cup. But it is only a generalization, and there are many famous dragons and red robes that are as famous as the Yangshi, and they are more precious. This fragrant tea tastes very good, but if you bring this tea to the yang world, it is no different from brewing paper ashes with water.
Wu Zhou has long said this truth, it can only go from yang to yin, irreversible. A few days ago, when chatting, he also said that when he went out of the underworld, he would bring a large pot of yin brew and a large pot of fragrant tea to the yang world to see if it was the truth that Wu Zhou said!
At this time, Jiang Lili slowly finished eating such a cup of fragrant tea and replied: "The ghost mother should be cultivating, Wu Zhou doesn't know, maybe she went to hang out outside." He is like this, he is always idle, he wants to look around, walk around, and seems to have an endless heart. When it comes to the real big thing, there is no way to do it. At the end, Jiang Lili added another sentence, "It's a natural blind worry, and it's also a natural cheapness." β
Jiang Lili's words have always been so ugly, Su Mu thought to himself that it was a shame that Wu Zhou was not here, otherwise he might be annoyed. It's just that what Su Mu didn't know was that Wu Zhou had long been accustomed to Jiang Lili's cynicism, and he didn't take it to heart, if he scolded himself for such a cheap sentence, he would be annoyed, he was afraid that he would be angry a year ago.
At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Wu Zhou walked in with a large plate of red things that looked like pastries, and said with a smile: "This is what I sold from the restaurant, and the store said that this pastry is famous as nine-spice cake, which is a special pastry in this small hidden city, try it and see how it tastes!"
Jiang Lili glanced at Wu Zhou and snorted coldly, "What's the matter, I don't know if this thing is delicious or not, so I asked us to taste it first?"
Wu Zhou pursed his lips, but he didn't care, he just said that he didn't eat.
Just as he was about to bring it to Su Mu, he heard Jiang Lili say again: "Didn't I say I won't eat it?"
Looking at Wu Zhou's iron-blue face, Su Mu was eating and laughing.
The three of them took a piece of it, and just after taking a bite, they saw the ghost mother walking out of the room, Wu Zhou smiled and said, "It's really time to come, come on, come on, try my newly bought pastry." β
A few days have passed, and the ghost mother still hasn't given Wu Zhou a good look. Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to get a piece of pastry, he quickly retracted his hand after hearing Wu Zhou say that he bought it himself, and said with great disgust: "You bought it?
Holy, disgusting!"
The ghost mother was originally quiet, but at this time, Jiang Lili's words were also a little true, and sure enough, for the ability to beat around the bush and scold people, which is a woman's heavenly voice, others can't envy it even if they are envious. It's just that after these words came out, Jiang Lili and Su Mu on the side looked at the piece of pastry in their hands, and their faces became more and more unnatural.
In the end, Jiang Lili threw the pastry back into the plate, "This is still a fart!"
Su Mu didn't care about it anymore, and only said to the ghost mother: "Actually, it tastes pretty good, and it's not bad to take a piece and taste it." β
"Don't eat!" the ghost mother said stiffly.
Wu Zhou pouted again, "If you don't eat, you won't eat, sure enough, only women and villains are difficult to raise!"
As soon as the words came out, he saw Jiang Lili and the ghost mother all staring at him, so he hurriedly said: "What about Cheng Ru, you don't eat it, some people eat it!"
Jiang Lili and the ghost mother ignored him, and only Su Mu replied: "There is no movement now, maybe he is sleeping!"
"Haven't gotten up yet?
"He ate a lot of wine yesterday, maybe that's why. β
Wu Zhou said suddenly: "I see, maybe he will sleep until tonight, and my box of pastries can be regarded as a blind purchase." β
"It's okay, I'll eat two more pieces. After Su Mu said this, he said, "Cheng Ru is going to sleep until tonight?"
"What is this?" Jiang Lili said: "After he got drunk last time, he slept for two days and two nights, I thought he was dead, and he woke up just after digging a grave for him, which is very annoying!"
Su Mu's eyes widened, and he was going to dig a grave for him because he was drunk and couldn't wake up? What's that?
As if he saw what Su Mu was thinking, Wu Zhou explained with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as he said, where did you sleep for a day and a night? It's only a day and a night, but the grave is dug quite deep, and it really takes us a lot of energy." β
Su Mu smiled stiffly, buried his head and nibbled on the nine-spice cake in his hand, and remained silent.
At this time, Jiang Lili turned his head to look at Cheng Ruye's room very impatiently and said, "This bastard, we also have to discuss the next trip today! Can't you let him sleep like this! How cheap is he?"
Saying that, Jiang Lili kicked open the door of Cheng Ruye's room, and was stunned, only to find that Cheng Ruye's room was empty, even the quilt was neat, and there was no appearance of living in it at all.
"What? Nobody?"
Jiang Lili frowned and turned his head, "It's weird, where did this guy go." β
Hearing Jiang Lili say this at this time, Su Mu shouted at the tree in the yard, and didn't hear a reply for a long time, so he stepped on the tree in a few steps, and didn't see the figure of the man in the small shed he built yesterday, and he was also stunned, "I also like to sleep lazy, I thought he was sleeping, but now I haven't seen any trace of him." β
"Didn't the two of them go out to play?" Wu Zhou put the nine-spice cake in his hand on the table and poured himself a quilt of fragrant tea. Although this nine-spice cake tastes good, it is indeed a little greasy to eat too much.
"Play?" Jiang Lili sneered, "Can he get out of bed?"
Wu Zhou was silent, Cheng Ru was indeed not a person who got up so early, not to mention that he drank a lot last night.
Slowly standing up and walking towards the outside of the courtyard, Jiang Lili said, "As long as you don't cause trouble for me." β
"Hey, where are you going?" Wu Zhou asked.
"Is it possible that you have been living in this yard all the time? β
Everyone no longer stayed in this courtyard for a long time, but as soon as they walked out of the door, they saw a lot of ghost cultivators whispering, and the restaurant near Jiangnan was even more noisy and lively.
Jiang Lili turned his head and asked Wu Zhou, "What did they say?"
Wu Zhou replied, "How do I know?"
"Didn't you go out before?"
"At that time, I was patronizing and looking at the scenery around me, so who cared what they were talking about?"
Jiang Lili only said uselessly, grabbed a little ghost casually and asked, "What are they talking about?
The little ghost was dressed as a handyman, and replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, they are talking about what happened last night!"
A hint of malice flashed in Jiang Lili's heart, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened last night?"
The imp replied:
"Do you know the four-tailed scaly fish raised by Miss Huacai in the Huaqing Pond not far away? Just yesterday, two bold things secretly fished out two of them and roasted them after everyone was asleep, and now even the fish bones are thrown near the Huaqing Pond! But fortunately, the two female ghosts who came to feed the fish last night found these two bold things and captured them all back to the dungeon!"
Jiang Lili's face darkened, "Do you know what those two people look like?"
The imp shook his head, "I don't know, but I've heard that one of those two is a squirrel ghost of unknown originγγγγγγ β
γγγγγγ
At this time, Cheng Ru woke up in the dungeon, burped, looked at the surrounding environment, and was in a trance, "Where am I?"
As soon as the words fell, I felt a pain on my face, and suddenly sobered up, and shouted at the squirrel: "What are you doing to beat me, squirrel? β
The words were only halfway through, and Cheng Ru saw the surrounding scene clearly, and it was a forest!
The dark dungeon, the bleak environment, the hay on the ground, and the skulls of the dead!
Zhan Zhan Wei looked at the concubine, and Cheng Ru asked, "What did we do, how could we be arrested in this prison?"
"You still dare to ask me? You got drunk yesterday and asked me to go and catch two scaly fish to roast and eat, and then you turned your face and didn't recognize anyone? I tell you, if I accidentally die, Su Xiaojiu won't be able to spare you!"
Cheng Ru hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, where am I the kind of person who doesn't know the weight? This scaly fish is extremely precious, how could I steal it and eat it? Isn't it a mistake?"
Nanzi looked annoyed, and was about to scold when he suddenly heard a sad wail, and suddenly his whole body went soft, and he fell to the ground, and couldn't stop muttering: "It's over, it's over, I want my concubine to be free for the rest of my life, even the big black face of the Black Cloud Peak can't help me for half a point, and now I'm waiting for death in this square inch of land! It's over, it's over!"
Yes, this son didn't know where the strength came from, so he jumped up and threw himself on Cheng Ruye's face, "It's all because of you, if you hadn't seduced me, how could this seat have fallen into such a miserable situation?"
Cheng Ru also screamed a few times, then tore the curtain open, walked to the iron railing in a few steps, and shouted at the jailer guarding outside: "My lord?!Are you mistaken? I'm not a thief, I'm a righteous gentleman!"
The jailer opened his eyes, and he had heard Cheng Ru and the two of them fighting, but he didn't pay attention to it, and said leisurely at this time: "I don't know whether to admire you or pity you, this little secluded city has been established for a hundred years, and the four-tailed scaly fish have been swimming in the Huaqing Pond for decades." Countless people have thought about stealing one to taste or sell, but the two of you are still the first one to do so, and your courage is commendable!!"
At this time, he also rushed over and lay on the railing, and hurriedly asked, "I know how to admire, what is the pity?"
The jailer glanced at him, and then heard footsteps behind him, and said, "Poor No, see for yourselves." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer fell to his knees on the ground, his eyebrows lowered.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and I saw two figures, one large and one small, walking in this long passage, and Cheng Ru stretched his neck to look, and saw that walking in front of him was a girl with a pale face, and walking behind him was a tall ghost.
The girl looked like she was about twenty-eight years old, wearing a long skirt, her long hair draped over her shoulders, holding a white puppy in her hand, and a beaded hairpin on her head. Zhen Shou and Wu eyebrows, apricot face and peach cheeks. From a distance, it looks like a distant mountain hibiscus, and up close it looks like a saliva jade foam bead, but the chill between its eyebrows and eyes is really daring to look closely.
The demon demon is a fierce and vicious appearance, holding an iron chain in his hand, with sharp horns on his head, and a hideous face, just looking at it makes his heart chill.
And as the two got closer and closer, Cheng Ru finally knew what the jailer meant by pitiful.
At the end of the chain in the demon's hand was a scythe that shone with silver light, and the blade was speckled with blood, and the slightest trace of evil qi slowly seeped out from it, and in just a moment, it completely enveloped the entire dungeon.
Su Xiaojiu, you can't see the day when this seat dominates Jiuzhou!"
