After the immortal disappeared

Everything tastes good when you are hungry. He has been eating dry food for three days, and he still needs a mouthful of hot food to fill his stomach.

Alas, this stomach has been spoiled by the cooks from Yangshan Islands. I remember when he traveled all over the country, it was common for him to go without a hot meal for ten and a half months.

Man, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

The rice blood is soaked in the hot soup to enhance the flavor.

When He Lingchuan tasted it, he found that it had a bit of the fishy smell of deer blood, and the taste was not satisfactory.

Dong Rui asked: "Where is this? We were confused because we were rushing."

"Wuxian Town."

The two of them still looked confused. There are thousands of towns in this world, what is the difference between them being called Five-Hand and Six-Hian?

The shopkeeper pointed eastward and said: "Go east by north for fifty miles and you will reach Yao Kingdom."

He pointed further to the southeast: "Thirty-five miles to the east and south of Mount Kyung. Don't go there, it's dangerous in the mountains."

He Lingchuan asked: "What about Baitou Ridge?"

"Also go northeast and cross Baitou Ridge before entering the border of Yao Kingdom."

The store served another dish, and neither of them could bear it:

Mix Houttuynia cordata.

Dong Rui only tasted it and then pressed his head: "Oh, if I go, I might as well eat the river fish alive."

He can eat meat of unknown origin, but this thing, this thing...

"This is good stuff." A voice from the side said.

There was only one drinker in the shop. He was short and thin, with eyebrows and small eyes. As long as he frowns, others won't be able to tell whether his eyes are open or closed.

Probably because drinking alone was too lonely, he chatted with the two of them: "Take a few more bites, and you will like it."

Dong Rui shook his head, not wanting to try again.

This man had a plate of peanuts and a green onion in front of him. He took a sip of wine and then sipped the green onion. It was so spicy that he let out a long sigh.

He Lingchuan saw a half-hand-sized copper bell hanging on the window lattice next to him. It was polished to a discernible shine, and the surface of the bell was covered with runes.

The curtains in the store are not tight, and occasionally the wind blows in and swirls in the hall, but the bell is quiet and does not ring at all.

"Are you also a practitioner?"

"That's right." The drinker laughed, "Where do you guys come from?"

"West side."

"Where to the west?" the drinker said, "You are all big and don't look like the locals."

"Go further west to the Kingdom of Ya."

The drinker was startled: "Not in the Golden Plains? Hey, you guys have a good life, why are you still running here? Are you tired of living the good life?"

"Come to Yao Country to do some shopping." Dong Rui said with a smile, "I just did business here this year. Although the Golden Flash Plain is not peaceful, there are so many good things. For money, shouldn't you go through fire and water?"

Although this place is called the Shining Gold "Plain", it actually has all kinds of landforms. The vast mountains have main trunks and branches here, just like the backbone of the earth.

The mountains of the Flash Gold Plains gather countless rich minerals. In addition to the most common iron, tin, copper, gold, etc., there are also many rare mineral soils necessary for weapon refining.

In addition, horses, medicinal materials, wood, etc. are also specialties.

In terms of the richness of materials, Little Bailie is not worthy of carrying boots for it.

"What's the use of having many products? Just let you see it and don't use it. People here are holding golden bowls and begging for food." The drinker shook his head, "Is this a land abandoned by the gods? Is it a wasted reputation?"

He Lingchuan looked at the pieces of red paper stuck on the window.

Rectangular shape with symbols drawn on it.

There was a hole in the paper window, but it was blocked by these talismans.

He only glanced twice when the bell next to the drinker suddenly rang without any wind.

whisper--

It's crisp, but only half-sounding.

The drinker immediately put down his glass.

A talisman on the window was suddenly pushed open by the wind, and the window hole underneath made a whining sound, like a whistle.

The next second, something appeared outside the cave——

one eye.

A bloodshot eyeball that swiveled around was peering into the store through a small hole in the window.

On a dark rainy night, an eye suddenly appeared in the window three feet above the ground, which would make normal people's hair stand on end.

He Lingchuan was also startled, and the chopsticks holding the noodles paused in the air.

The eyes outside the window swept across the three customers and quickly focused on the shop owner, full of malice.

The drinker suddenly said: "Here we go, right outside the window."

He pointed at the window: "I'm spying on you from here."

The shopkeeper's face changed greatly. He followed his finger and looked. Dong Rui and the two monkeys also turned their heads, but there was nothing in the dark outside the window.

What the hell?

The drinker noticed He Lingchuan's behavior, but did not say anything. He only said to the panicked shopkeeper: "Go back behind the counter and hold your breath."

The shop owner didn't dare to hesitate and rushed back in one stride.

The eyes outside the window disappeared instantly.

The next second, a wisp of black smoke drifted in from outside the door curtain and swayed inside the room.

The soul-capturing mirror let out a cry: "I thought it was some kind of evil thing, but it turned out to be a wild ghost!"

The mirror world houses many evil spirits, and mirrors are certainly no strangers to this thing. But ghosts rarely appear around He Lingchuan, and he hasn't seen one for a long time.

Dong Rui then discovered that a white circle was drawn on the floor of the counter, and the shop owner was standing in the circle, not daring to breathe or move.

Black smoke was floating around the store, and it seemed like he couldn't be found.

It got a little restless, turned into a human form on the ground, and stroked it carefully on the edge of the counter.

This thing looks like a monkey that jumped out of the mud. It is thin, black, and has a stooped back, but it has uneven yellow teeth in its mouth.

It kept gnashing its teeth, making clicking sounds between its upper and lower teeth.

The shop owner stood in front of it, looking at it in horror, but the mud ghost seemed to be blind, unable to see this living person.

Of course, the shop owner couldn't see it, but he could feel the temperature in the shop dropping rapidly.

At this moment, the sound of trickling water came from behind.

The mud ghost immediately turned around and found that it was He Lingchuan pouring wine, acting as if nothing had happened.

It immediately turned around and approached He Lingchuan and the two.

He Lingchuan poured himself a glass of wine and pretended not to see it.

The clay ghost came closer to the two monkeys and sniffed a few times, then pressed his paws on the table, leaving a mud fingerprint.

The shopkeeper couldn't see it, but he could see the handprint, and his face turned even whiter with fear.

Then, it goes to the drinker.

The drinker took a sip of wine in his mouth, and when it came closer, it suddenly spurted out with a pop.

The wine has a light red color and is mixed with cinnabar.

The mud ghost was caught off guard and was sprayed all over his face. He screamed suddenly, turned into black smoke and fled out the door.

Unexpectedly, the drinker held a blower under his hand and pressed it lightly——

Yes, it's the blower used in kitchens and bathhouses to stir up fire.

This wisp of black smoke was sucked into the blower.

"Okay." The drinker put away his tools and tore off the red paper on the window, "I have conquered him."

"Okay." He Lingchuan gave a thumbs up, and he was very quick and agile this time.

The shop owner held his breath until his face turned purple. He heard the sound and gasped twice: "Master Fu, am I safe?"

"Well, it's safe."

The shopkeeper just saw the mud paw prints on He Lingchuan's table and believed that the evil spirit had really come. Then he took out half a tael of broken silver and placed it on the table of the drinker. "Thank you, Master! I'll heat some wine for you."
