Drunk Immortal Gourd

After placing the paper boat, the old man walked to the boat first and said: "Little brother, let's get on the boat."

Seeing that the paper old man was okay, Qingyang bravely walked to the paper boat. Then the paper old man picked up the paper oar on the bow and rowed towards the other side of the river. Although the entire boat was made of paper, it was no different from a real boat. Qingyang could even see the fish swimming on the bottom of the boat through the thin and brittle paper, but the river water had no effect on the paper boat at all.

The river, which was more than three feet wide, reached the other side in the blink of an eye. Qingyang got off the boat first. After the old man got off the boat, he picked up the paper boat from the water, folded it a few times and put it in his arms, and then said: "This ship can still be used in the future, but we can't let it go to waste."

After crossing the river, Old Man Zhi took Qingyang and walked forward for another seven or eight miles before arriving at a village. This village was similar to the secular villages Qingyang had seen before. There were about a hundred households and houses. Basically they are built with masonry, stone and civil engineering.

The village with hundreds of people was not too small, but it had already darkened and the villagers were probably asleep, so it seemed deserted and there was no sound at all.

After entering the village, Old Man Zhi returned to his home, while Qingyang continued along the street. Soon he came to the middle of the village and saw the inn that Taoist Mao mentioned.

It's said to be an inn, but it's actually a dilapidated courtyard with a radius of more than ten feet. There is a facade in the front that also serves as a restaurant, and there are a few simple guest rooms in the courtyard behind. This Tou Qi Village is located in a remote location, and there are not many people in the village. Few outsiders come here all year round, so the whole village only has an inn and a place to eat, making it look shabby and shabby.

It was late at night, and it was unknown whether there was no one in the inn or whether they were all resting. Qingyang called the two of them outside, but no one answered, so he boldly pushed the door open and entered.

The door was unlocked and Qingyang opened it with a gentle push. The creaking sound of the door opening was extremely harsh in the silent night. Qingyang didn't care so much and stepped directly into the yard. Just as he was about to walk forward, a white figure suddenly flashed beside him and said, "The guest officer is here?"

Qingyang was startled unexpectedly. A big living person appeared and disappeared. He didn't know where he was hiding just now, and he didn't even notice it. However, after taking a closer look, I discovered that this was probably just a puppet, with no life breath at all. No wonder it was not discovered in advance.

The puppet seemed to be made of white wood, and the workmanship was very rough. It looked a little pale in the night, and it was very scary at first glance. This puppet is different from the battle puppet used by monks. It has no strength itself and can only do some auxiliary work. However, in such a rural place, it is not bad to be able to make such a puppet. What is even more surprising is that He can still speak.

Qingyang looked the puppet up and down, and then said: "I am a friend of Taoist Mao. He has not come back yet. He asked me to stay here first. Is your master here?"

The puppet seemed unable to answer such a complicated question. After Qingyang finished speaking, he paused slightly, and then said: "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and invite the master."

After the puppet finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door of a room on the edge of the backyard. He knocked lightly outside. After a long time, a woman came out carrying a lantern. When she saw Qingyang, the woman smiled. He smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, guest. I didn't expect guests to come so late, so I went to bed a little early. All five or six guest rooms here are empty. Guests can choose any one to stay."

"Then thank you eldest sister." Qingyang cupped his hands and said.

Then the woman said: "Since you are Mao Taoist's friend, you are also my friend. Little brother, you are welcome. Others call me Mrs. Sun, so you can call me that. Little brother, he has been working hard all the way, so he probably didn't eat. ? Can I get you some food now?”

Then, before Qingyang could speak, Sister-in-law Sun handed the lantern into the hands of the puppet next to her, then took out a red cloth from her arms and put it on her left hand. After a moment, she suddenly opened the red cloth, and there was actually a bowl in her hand. The steaming noodles are obviously freshly made.

Qingyang was stunned. He didn't even see how Sister-in-law Sun took out the bowl of noodles. He had just observed specifically that Sister-in-law Sun didn't have anything like a holding charm on her body. He didn't expect that this little head There are so many strangers in the Seven Villages.

From entering the Fallen Ghost Abyss to now, Qingyang has met several people, from the Taoist Mao who drove away the corpse at the beginning, to the stupid guy who cut himself into several pieces and then reassembled them, to the paper boat he made. The paper old man who can be used to cross the river, and the Sister-in-law Sun who can control the puppet and instantly conjure a bowl of noodles, each one is more strange and weird than the last.

Qingyang has been cultivating immortality for many years, so he still has some knowledge. Although these people's methods are strange, if you think about it carefully, you can still figure out some things. For example, exorcism involves using special means to temporarily seal the missing and disintegrated souls in the corpse after death, and then use secret techniques to drive them back to follow Taoist Mao. For example, the paper used in Old Paper's paper boat should have been made in advance using secret techniques, and the rest are just to deceive others.

Qingyang has never seen these secret techniques before, but compared with the real cultivators, they are just some inferior secret techniques. To put it bluntly, these people are just low-level ghost monks who know some low-level ghost techniques. , showing off in front of Qingyang, an outsider.

The suction force in the Fallen Ghost Abyss is very strong, and the monk's strength will be greatly restricted. Under normal circumstances, he cannot even exert half of his strength. Because of this, the Lord Shifu did not dare to personally know that Qingyang fell into the Fallen Ghost Abyss. Come down to chase him, but prepare to let others help find him.

This is true for high-level monks, not to mention low-level monks. Monks in the Pulse Opening Realm like Taoist Mao are almost like ordinary people in the secular world. They belong to the bottom of the Fallen Ghost Abyss and have a lower status than them. They are probably the descendants of those cultivators who have no spiritual roots.

These low-level monks would never reach the Qi Refining Stage or Foundation Establishment Stage after a lifetime of training, and the strength gained from cultivation was of little use, so they simply stopped wasting time in this area and used their intelligence and talents in other areas. That’s why there are so many extraordinary methods.

After thinking about this, Qingyang suddenly felt relieved. Although his strength has not been restored and he has no means to kill or injure the enemy, his defensive ability is very strong. The Spirit Snake Armor, which is the ultimate defensive weapon level, can only rely on its own The defensive power can make the Qi Refining monks helpless. This Qicun is probably just a group of Pulse Opening Realm monks, and no one should be able to threaten him.
