Chapter 5 There is a white lotus in the deep mountains of Nanling
Five years ago
Nanling has been a barbarian land since ancient times, and the Wu clan, who claim to be the most faithful believers of the witch gods, thrive here. In the mountains full of poisonous insects and hidden dangers, if outsiders set foot here, they will definitely end up with no bones, but the Wu people draw tattoos with the secret medicine passed down from their ancestors to expel the poisonous insects. Nanling, which is called a dead place to outsiders, is a paradise for the Wu clan.
Since the founding of the Ming Emperor, the Nanling has also been adopted Huairou strategy, rewarded and sealed, and the most elite Zhennan army of the Ming Kingdom is guarded here, and the general Wang Pifu is a strong man who is difficult to meet in the world, and his reputation is great.
Therefore, the people in the mountains are reluctant to come out, and the people outside the mountains are not willing to go in, and everyone has been safe and sound. But this tranquility has recently been shattered.
An inn outside the town of Southridge
"Little brother, come and make a pot of tea!"
"Yo two guest officers, quick, please inside, I'll serve you tea!"
The first to step in was a man in a sweat suit, no more than twenty years old, with a sword hanging from his waist, although he did not show his muscles, but the lines of his body were extremely comfortable to look at, and even more heroic, if the man had not been lying on the table like a dying dog gasping for breath.
"Hey, Jiang Yu, you've been tired like this after just walking so much, and you're not afraid to make people laugh when you say it!"
Following the sound, the second person also walked in, raised his hand and took off the hat on his head, the black hair flowed down the goose's neck, his face was exquisite, and he was wearing a fiery red suit to highlight his figure.
The man lying on the table suddenly came to his senses after hearing this, suddenly sat up, looked at the girl in front of him with wide eyes, and said indignantly: "If it weren't for someone who was so afraid of insects that he didn't dare to walk on the ground by himself, I wouldn't have carried dozens of miles in a row!"
"Well, if I had known that there were so many bugs, I wouldn't have come!Besides, this girl is so light, how can she be tired on her back?" The girl was still slightly aggrieved, and suddenly her tone changed, and she became gloomy: "Or do you think this girl is heavy?"
As soon as the woman's voice fell, the man's head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly denied: "No, no, no, how is it possible, Miss Yuesi is not heavy at all." ”
The man knows very well that whoever talks back to a woman in this situation is a bastard.
Sure enough, the girl nodded, a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, satisfied with the man's answer.
The two of them were Shushan Sword Immortal Jiang Yu and his companion Yue Si, who had traveled the world, and heard that there was a vision of heaven and earth in the Nanling Mountains, so they rushed over to find out.
The two of them bickered and attracted the attention of others in the inn, Jiang Yu vaguely noticed that there were a few eyes without kindness, snorted lightly, with a bit of internal strength, raised his hand and slapped the saber on the table at his waist, and with a "snap", these eyes all dissipated.
Jiang Yu shook his head, thinking that these people were afraid that they were just starting out of the rivers and lakes, if they didn't react, they would really have to deal with some dirty things later.
"Yo, guest officer, don't worry, tea is here!"
Jiang Yu's slap on the table caused Xiao Er to hurriedly run over to them from the back kitchen, and while pouring the tea brewed in his hand into the tea bowl on the table, he didn't forget to greet him: "Guest officer, what else do you need to eat?"
"This little brother, just put two delicious ones on your side. ”
"Okay, here we go. ”
Seeing Xiao Er hurriedly running to the back kitchen again, Jiang Yu lowered his voice and instructed Yue Si next to him, "Let's rest for a while and then we will enter the mountain, although there are many poisonous insects in the mountain, but in terms of your internal qi in the hall realm, it is more than enough to scare off those insects." ”
"Okay, I see, wait and I won't be afraid of bugs. Yue Si agreed.
"Well, aren't you afraid later?" Jiang Yu couldn't react a little.
Yue Si found that her careful thinking was almost punctured, so she lowered her head and drank tea, probably because the heat floating in the teacup was too strong, the girl's face was dyed red for a while, she blew the hot air, took a shallow sip, and raised her head in surprise: "This tea seems to be flower tea, but it is a flower tea that I haven't drunk!"
"This is a unique candle flower in the mountains of Nanling, the girl must have never drunk it!" Xiao Er, who happened to hear the dishes from the back kitchen, explained with a smile, put the two dishes in his hand on the table, and continued to introduce: "This plate is a variety of wild vegetables in the mountains, and this plate of meat is also a unique chicken in the mountains, which cannot be seen outside. ”
Looking at the few things on the table, tea, vegetables, and meat, all of which were from the mountains of Nanling, Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask: "Since these things are all from the mountains, could it be that these things are all made by you, little brother?"
Seeing that Xiao Er seemed to have something to say, Jiang Yu directly patted a stool beside him, "Come, little brother, sit down and let's talk!"
Xiao Er looked at these two young people with good faces, and they didn't look like some ruthless characters on the rivers and lakes, but more like rich children who came out to play, and they were a little cautious, and sat next to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his waist, played with it in his hand, and put it on the table.
Xiao Er smiled, knowing that this boy was not as young as he imagined, so he said in a low voice: "This son, I won't tell you, I really don't have this ability, these things are sent out in the mountains!"
"Sent from the mountains?"
"We need these foods, and they also need oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. ”
When Jiang Yu and Xiao Er were talking, Yue Si had already begun to feast, and even if his mouth was stuffed with food, it did not prevent him from praising these foods: "Mmmm, it's delicious!"
"Hehe, in fact, the two guest officers are blessed, this is the last food in our store, the people in the mountains have not delivered the goods recently, and if this continues, the small shop will have to buy vegetables from outside. ”
"Huh, is something going on?"
Xiao Er's voice was lowered, "I won't tell you, I recently heard that there was a vision of heaven and earth in the mountains, and now not only the people in the mountains have died at the entrance to the mountain, but even the Zhennan Army has set up checkpoints to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving." ”
"Vision, what vision?"
"It seems to say that there is a white lotus three feet high!"
At this time, not only Jiang Yu was stunned, but even Yue Si, who was on the side, was also stunned, and his mouth forgot to chew, as if he was thinking about what the three-zhang tall white lotus looked like!
"You're lazy again!
Xiao Er seemed to be on fire in his buttocks, stood up suddenly, took the broken silver on the table into his arms, smiled at the two, and said again and again: "Disturb the two of you to eat." ”
It was the shopkeeper of this inn who spoke before, and as soon as he came back from outside, he saw Xiao Er and the guests chatting at a table, and couldn't help but reprimand Xiao Er, as soon as Xiao Er left, the shopkeeper came over to make amends: "The two of you are really sorry, Xiao Er has no rules, bother the two, the meal money will be waived, it is considered to be a crime for the two of you." ”
Nodding to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper also left, looking at the table in front of him that had been eaten by Yue Si, Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly twice.
Yue Si also found that today's meal was really a bit scary, but she was still unforgiving: "What's the matter, I think this girl eats too much?"
Jiang Yu shook his head, stretched out his hand to wipe the rice stains from Yue Si's mouth, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he just smiled.
The water temperature of the teacup is no longer so hot, but Yue Si's face still has a few red halos, as if she is ashamed, and her lips are light: "If you look at this girl like this again, I will gouge out your eyeballs." ”
Tsk, this stinky!
