There is always a strong smell of fireworks in the streets of the market, and there is a smell of friendly people. At the dinner table, there were children who chased each other with chicken legs as weapons, women with oily hands and pulling their sisters to talk about their parents' shortcomings, men who cared about the wine in the bowl, and of course, white-haired old men who smiled and looked at each other with bright eyes.

Although the realm of no return is a paradise, five steps and one scene, ten steps and one painting, but it is condensed by spells, and it is not as good as the scene of the mortal world, real and warm.

A very young woman, seeing that the south wind was standing far away and had no place, got up from her seat, and walked towards the south wind while cleaning the grease from her hands with her oil-stained apron. She is not pretty, her facial features can barely be called Zhouzheng, but because of the sweet smile on her face, she looks kind and vivid. She was not shy at all, her eyes were shining: "My sister is a foreigner, and the concubine is born when she sees you." ”

Nanfeng hurriedly replied: "Passing by the treasure land, spend a day." ”

The woman led Nanfeng to an empty seat very close to her seat and said, "Today is the birthday of Master He in our town, and the people of the town are invited to eat and drink." The neighborhood relationship in our town is very good, and Master He is especially a well-known good person. Sister, you're welcome, just fill your stomach. ”

The south wind was not polite, and in the blink of an eye, a chicken leg was already in the stomach.

The woman looked at her with a smile, brought over a glass of wine at the right time, and said, "Look at my sister's appearance, I'm afraid I'm hungry." The wine on the table is made in our own home, and it can't be put on the table, so you can clear your mouth. ”

Where is "not on the table", it is obviously a carefully brewed apricot blossom wine, take a sip, and your mouth will be full of fragrance.

Not far away, a half-grown child, holding a long wooden sword in his hand, shouted to the woman with joy, "Sister-in-law, my brother asked you to add two jugs of wine to the table!"

"Come—" The woman's voice was soft and glutinous, and the tail note was long, with a sweet taste, as if her husband had asked her to add honey instead of wine.

The woman said to her, "My sister eats slowly, and the concubine comes when she goes." ”

She answered her vaguely, stuffed all kinds of meat in her mouth, and when she looked up again, she could no longer be found.

A very small girl approached and gently poked Nanfeng with her finger: "Sister?"

Nanfeng tilted his head to look at her.

She laughed, and the wind leaked from her small mouth with her front teeth already gone: "The ring you wear around your neck is so beautiful! What is it made of? Where did you buy it?"

Nanfeng glanced down at the obstructive thing around his neck and asked her, "Like a dog chain, what's there to look at?"

"There's a little bird!," she said in surprise.

Hey, children are innocent, and they can't compare to a "centenarian" like her, who has experienced vicissitudes of life, and has a lot of unspeakable hardships.

The thing on Nanfeng's neck is called "Seeking", which is a magic weapon that does not return. The totem of the cuckoo engraved on it can be seen everywhere in the realm of no return, that is, the Imperial Palace of Canghong Zhenren and the Muxue Platform of Suchen, which also have this totem.

It is said that only those who ascend to the immortal do not have to wear it. When Su Chen took Nanfeng into the realm of no return, he also took "searching", but this time Canghong Zhenren took special care of him, so he was exempted.

The purpose of "seeking" is twofold, one is to restrict every evil ghost who leaves the country from hurting others because of the resentment, and the other is to maintain contact with the non-return, so that the non-return can find the fleeing evil ghost at any time.

To put it bluntly, it's a dog chain.

When the south wind was embarrassed, the little girl's mother called her, she gave up the south wind, ran to her mother, and when she left, her eyes stayed on the "search" for a while, looking a little reluctant.

Hmph, what's so reluctant? As an "old man" in his hundreds, is Nanfeng willing to wear it?

After feasting for a long time, the south wind finally filled his stomach. Thinking about how he has also received the favor of Master He, although it is a meeting in Pingshui, he should always go over to celebrate his birthday. She stood up, straightened her clothes and bun, and walked to the center of the tiered table.

There were people everywhere, restricting her footsteps, and she could see the old man in the center who was sitting on crutches and smiling kindly, but he couldn't walk past him.

Just then, something black hit her waist. When she looked down, she saw that it was also an old man. The old man was hunched on his back, and the waist was almost at a right angle. He was draped in a tattered black cloak, made of coarse linen, with oily corners. The cloak covers his head, revealing his black and white hair. He had an exposed right hand, his skin was loose and dark, and his nails were covered in mud. He held a rattan cane much taller than him in his hand, and looked thick and bulky.

Nanfeng didn't know if he was a man or a woman, but when he coughed, his voice was rough and hoarse, he knew that it was an old man - uh, it should be "old" but she - although the people in Qingmei Town are not necessarily rich, but they look relatively clean and crisp, how can they still be so ...... An unruly old man?

But after all, in the eyes of others, she is a junior, so she made a well-behaved appearance and apologized: "I'm sorry, old man, I ...... I didn't see you. Are you alright?"

The old man did not speak.

Nanfeng was a little apprehensive, and hurriedly made another salute.

The old man still stood there, motionless. Had it not been for the breeze blowing his gray hair, she would have thought he had turned to stone.

Could it be that the old man has bad ears? The south wind scratched his head, ready to drive away irresponsibly.

As soon as she turned around, she heard the old man say in a hoarse voice, "Little girl, I can't see anything, can you take me to the carriage to the east?"

To the east of the feast was a dilapidated carriage, thin and short. She thought that if she bought a carriage like this for Su Chen, Su Chen would directly kill her with his powerful Jade Soul Fan.

It was just a gesture, and she agreed.

The old man walked slowly, and the south wind followed slowly. As she approached the carriage, she smelled a strange smell. It doesn't smell good, and it doesn't make people too off-putting. The smell is getting stronger and more tempting.

"Open the curtains. The old man said coldly.

Nanfeng's back was cold, and he didn't want to obey his orders, but his hands and feet no longer obeyed. She lifted the curtain.

The car was dark, and a black figure could be faintly seen. The man's hand shook in front of her, and the smell it had just smelled seemed to be aggressive, rushing from her nose straight into her head, pouring her deeper and deeper.

The old man's crutches stabbed her in the back, and she fell headlong into the carriage.

Maintaining some consciousness, she heard the old man say respectfully, "Master, what do you think of this?"

The people in the car were not very old when they heard the voice, so he chuckled and said, "Of course the people who come out of the realm of no return are good." It's a pity, it's a girl. ”

The old man said: "This girl is just a subordinate, and with her, there is a young son." ”

"Childe?" The people in the car seemed to hear the big joke and laughed unscrupulously, "Say you're confused, you're really stupid as a pig." Neither of these people is your average Miss Childe. Although their identities are useless now, at that time, they were enough to subvert the entire world. ”

The old man was insulted, but he was not annoyed at all, but was even more respectful and frightened: "The old slave has no knowledge, and the master forgives the sin." ”

The man in the car lazily scratched his sideburns and said, "That's it, how can you be considered meritorious today, what do I have to do with you?" You go to the alley and lie in ambush, and after a while the one comes to look for her, and I will take him down. That skin is perfect......"

"Yes. ”

The person in the car instructed again: "Don't hurt this girl, there is someone who has been looking for her for more than 100 years, and it is useful to keep it." ”

"Yes. The old man agreed.

More than 100 years...... Is it?
