Chapter 5 Mayor Mayor's Requirements
After the door creaked shut, the two people who closed the door disappeared immediately, as if they had never come, they took away the horses in Xiao Ruoshui's hands when they left, the princess supported Xiao Ruoshui with both hands, and said to Xiao Ruoshui's ear tremblingly: "They won't do anything to our horses, right?" She obviously had a sense of fear and distrust of this strange town. The sturdy man who walked in front did not stop and snorted and said, "Don't worry, your horses are safe." The princess stuck out her tongue at Xiao Ruoshui, her eyes staring at the sturdy man in front of her and nodded, which meant that such a small voice could be heard. What a hell of a thing. Xiao Ruoshui was also shocked in his heart, although the princess's Jusi Chengsheng was not skilled enough, but the people who could hear their conversation were not ordinary laymen, he couldn't help but have a further curiosity about the people in this town, he raised his middle finger and nodded to the side of his mouth, signaling the princess not to say anything, and then he pointed at himself with his middle finger, and smiled proudly on his face. It means that there is me in your peace of mind, no problem. The princess gave him a blank look, and the corners of her mouth were crooked, and she looked disdainful, as if she despised him. Xiao Ruoshui pretended to be angry and glared at the princess. The princess smirked. The two of them did not speak, and when they made gestures and made eye contact, the sturdy man showed a smile on his face, shook his head and did not squeak.
The princess saw him showing a smile, a weird smile, and shook her head again, she knew that the little tricks of the two had not been hidden from the man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little cold again, and couldn't help but hold Xiao Ruoshui's hand and hold his arm tightly. Xiao Ruoshui stopped talking. He didn't make gestures anymore, he knew that he couldn't hide anything from the man in front of him, so there was no need for him to say anything. He followed the sturdy man, and kept muttering in his heart, who founded this town, and who arranged such people here, why did the people here lie dormant like ghosts day and night, and no sound could hide from their ears?
The yard is huge, walk through a garden and walk past a long water pavilion. I walked through a long corridor. In the pavilion near the pond, a gray-haired man dressed in gray cloth had his hands behind his back to them, and the sturdy man led them to the pavilion and stopped. He bowed respectfully to the figure carrying them. whispered: "Third uncle, they are here." The man with his hands behind his back to them waved his hand at the man and said, "Zhang Wen, go down." I'm going to talk to these two kids alone. The sturdy man agreed. Walked out of the city. Xiao Ruoshui and the princess stood outside the pavilion and quietly looked at the old man with his hands behind his back to them. Didn't make a sound.
"Come in and sit down. There's tea on the table, pour it yourself. The man with his hands behind his back and his back to them still didn't look back. Just said such a sentence.
Xiao Ruoshui and the princess walked into the pavilion and sat down. Xiao Ruoshui picked up the teapot and gently reached two cups of tea, he sniffed it with his nose, the fragrance came to his nose, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea." He carefully smelled that there was no poison, and if he wanted to poison his nose, it was estimated that only the poison king of Nanzhao had this ability, and this ability was learned from Wang Shan, that is, Tuoba Hanshan, Wang Shan's father-in-law was the poison king, so the ability to distinguish poison was not a false name. Although Xiao Ruoshui has not studied for a long time, it is indeed rare for someone to be able to poison his nose without being detected.
"This is Fujian's famous tea Banshan Demon, it must be very delicious. The old man with his hands behind his back to them still didn't turn around, and he replied to Xiao Ruoshui with a smile. The voice is very kind and pleasant.
The princess secretly leaned into Xiao Ruoshui's ear and said, "Could it be that the ghosts of the underworld also drink tea in the yang world?" The princess's curiosity was obviously heard by the old man, and he laughed. Xiao Ruoshui shook her head at the princess and signaled to stop talking. The old man smiled very cheerfully and said, "Don't get in the way, our place is similar to the underworld." ”
He turned around as soon as he finished speaking, and as soon as he turned, he smiled at the two of them. The princess screamed in fright, and Xiao Ruoshui hugged her shoulders and covered her mouth. hurriedly said: "Senior, she is timid, forgive me." Xiao Ruoshui looked at the old man, half of his mouth was ulcerated, but the other half of his mouth was good, half of the ulcerated mouth showed blood-red gums and snow-white teeth, the general face was smooth and only wrinkled, and the other half of the face was full of pus and secreted different liquids flowing downward, the old man took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and said with a wry smile: "Don't blame the little girl for being afraid, whoever sees it will be afraid." We're just ghosts. ”
Xiao Ruoshui let go of the princess, and the princess was so frightened that she hid in Xiao Ruoshui's arms, not daring to look at the old man. Xiao Ruoshui put one hand around the princess and drank tea with the other, he said calmly: "Seniors, we met here by chance, it turned out that we wanted to stay here, and we didn't mean to offend you, please let us go through with your seniors, we will never pass on your secrets." ”
"Phoenix Collection, what a good place, now it has become a ghost town that goes out day and night, don't you want to know the reason for the Dao?" the old man showed a trace of sadness.
"It's not good to inquire about other people's privacy, so seniors don't have to worry, we're just in a hurry, and we won't go out to talk nonsense. Xiao Ruoshui swore and said.
"Actually, I'm not worried about you talking nonsense, but I want you to do me a favor. The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, staring at Xiao Ruoshui deadly. Xiao Ruoshui looked at the old man's sad face, a pleading look in his eyes, he sighed and said, "It's not that I don't help, but I may not be able to help, and I'm just an ordinary person, and my ability is really limited." ”
"Third brother, don't help, forget it, let's boil it ourselves. A voice rang out sharply, and an old man rushed in from outside. There were two old men behind him, and the faces of the four of them were actually the same festering. The princess closed her eyes in fright. Lying on the stone table, he didn't dare to look up.
"Seniors, it's not that you don't want to help, but you really don't understand how this can help you?" Xiao Ruoshui said confusedly.
"You are the one who can help us, because you can not be confused by the Nine Palace Array, and you can also see the only formation in this town, you are the person that Daochang Li said when he left. The old man blurted out, and he could see that the old man was an anxious man.
"You mean Daochang Li. "Xiao Ruoshui seemed to understand something, he seemed to know the slightest clue.
"Yes, Daochang Li said that if you want to save our Phoenix Set, you need someone who can break our Phoenix Set Formation to break this curse, and you are the one he said. The old man of the third brother said.
"Seniors, I will do my best to help Phoenix Ji break the curse, but can you tell me in detail about it, so that I can also have an understanding. That's how I can help you. Xiao Ruoshui smiled at the four of them.
"This is a long story, let us tell you slowly. The anxious old man said a little anxiously. (To be continued......)
