Journey To the World of Film and Television

Chapter 268 You still have to pretend

Stopping and stopping along the way, the surrounding barren mountains and jungles seemed to be the same in the eyes of Zhou Ji and Si Teng, but they seemed more cordial to Xiao Chi.

In the distance, the main peak of Huqi Mountain is majestic and towering, and a mountain path is hidden deep in the dense forest, winding and winding, and it does not know where it leads.

Since the main altar of the Ghost King Zong was moved here, there must be bright posts and secret posts outside the main altar. Along the way, there were rustlings in the forest, and Zhou Ji noticed several eyes peeping from the dark, some looking at him, and some looking at him. He looked at Xiao Chi and Baguio beside him.

Not long after, a burst of hearty laughter startled the birds in the forest to come this way, and all the prying eyes disappeared. A middle-aged scholar with thin eyebrows and a square face strode towards this side. There is an air of prestige without anger in this elegance.

Worrying for many days, seeing mother and daughter return.

Wanwan tried to control his emotions as much as possible, but the faster and faster pace has already exposed his inner excitement. Xiao Chi and Baguio also went forward, but her body has not fully recovered, she staggered and fell completely. on the ground.

"Sister-in-law~!" "Father!"

"Little idiot!" Wan Wan went to support his wife, but his face suddenly turned ugly, "Little idiot, your hand."

"I'm fine~" Xiao Chi looked at Wan Wan's eyes full of worry and distress, and showed a gentle smile.

Gently patted the back of Wanqian's hand with his intact left hand, enduring the severe pain from the touch of the wound, the little idiot frowned and said, "A few days ago when Yao'er and I were visiting our mother in Liuhu Cave, Encountering an ambush by righteous people, my mother was seriously injured and died in order to protect us, Yaoer and I were also buried underground for many days, fortunately, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Si Teng rescued us, and we survived."

Xiao Chi briefly explained their experiences these days. Wan Wan had also been to the cave where Xiao Chi was trapped. Hearing her understatement, she felt more and more distressed, and turned to look at Xiao Chi who was walking slowly behind A man and a woman in the middle of the night were stunned for a moment by Si Teng, who was dressed in a light blue gauze and a Hanfu with a rattan pattern, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Ji.

With his cultivation base, even before he came here, he could tell that this woman with exquisite makeup and cold and arrogant temperament was not of human blood.

Thousands of people who have dealt with the righteous way for so many years are very clear that since they are monsters, even if the monster aura is clear and there is no bloody turbidity, they will be regarded as evil spirits by those sanctimonious righteous people. Once they encounter it, they will definitely scream kill.

What really made everyone afraid was Zhou Ji who was beside this woman.

Although the Taoist robe is mainly blue and white, it is not like the standard of Qingyunmen. There are only a few simple and elegant cloud patterns and rattan patterns on the Taoist robe. I can't tell the specific sect. On the contrary, it seems to match the dress of the woman next to me. meaning.

Is it an unknown casual cultivator? Or a hidden disciple of Qing Yun Sect?

Unfolding his sleeves, clasped his hands together, and saluted them deeply.

"Thank you both for saving Jing's wife and daughter. Wan is very grateful." Wan Wan was deeply scheming, even though he was full of thoughts, he still looked sincere on the surface.

Zhou Ji didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't intend to speculate on the psychology of a hero.

Rescuing Xiao Chi and Baguio before was just a whim, thinking that every time I crossed the vicinity, there would be important characters, and then I saw a landslide in a corner that was out of place surrounded by mountains, so I tried to let Si Teng use Teng Si poked into it, doing mental calculations or not, and happened to find Baguio and Xiao Chi who had been trapped for many days.

Lenovo's original work, so I also confirmed my location and time.

Slightly nodding his head, Zhou Ji received the big gift from Wanqian as a matter of course, and the eyes of Youji, Qinglong and others who came with Wanqian suddenly turned cold.

In their view, Zhou Ji is so young, he should be a junior in front of Wanqian, and Wanqian is the suzerain of the Ghost King Sect, so his status is so honorable.

No matter what you do, you should be humble. Being so arrogant is totally impolite.

Sensitively capturing the slightly dissatisfied eyes around him, Zhou Ji laughed dumbly.

I don't owe you, and I don't want to curry favor with you. I have a great favor with you, so what's wrong with accepting a gift from you?

"Ghost king, please rise~"

At the end of the salute, Zhou Ji helped ten thousand people up, and said calmly: "I saved your wife and Baguio, and I received your gift again, this matter is settled."

Hearing this, no matter whether Wan Wan Xiang or Qing Long and You Ji behind him, there was a look of surprise in the eyes. The eyes of Qing Long and the others, who thought Zhou Ji was arrogant, warmed up, and all the dissatisfaction that had just appeared dissipated.

"How can this be so?" Wan Wan shook his head and said solemnly, "Wan is not a person who will not repay his kindness. By saving the lives of his wife and daughter this time, Mr. Zhou is saving Wan's life. One must do it with all his might.”

"Well..." Zhou Ji was about to refuse, when a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said, "Since that's the case, I just have something to ask the ghost king."

Ten thousand people are finally relieved, if Zhou Ji doesn't come in, he will only feel that the other party's plan is too big, and he will be more jealous, but if there is a request, at least he can take advantage of the situation and guide him, and test whether he can see a clue.

"I heard that there are five volumes in the ancient heavenly scriptures, one of which is in the Ghost King Sect. Can the Ghost King get it for a look?"

"Heavenly book?!"

Wan Wan looked at Zhou Ji thoughtfully, and readily agreed.

The residence of the Ghost King Sect is built on the hillside. Most of the houses are piled up with blue stones. The stone house is guarded by a black hall, which leans against the mountain. It is a man and a woman.

The female stone carvings are kind-hearted, standing with a smile, and their clothes are carved so lifelike that they are blown by the wind, a bit like the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The other one has a completely different appearance, ferocious and vicious, with a black face and ghost horns, eight hands and four heads, holding a huge ax in his hand, and even a trace of blood flowing down its mouth, which makes people shudder to see.

Zhou Ji and Si Teng were not very interested in these peculiar aesthetics of the Demon Cult, and after a few glances, they didn't pay much attention.

Arriving at the main altar, Wan Wan personally arranged a guest room for Zhou Ji and Si Teng, and when he went to Xiao Chi's place, a skinny old man in a black robe and a black cloth mask suddenly walked out from the shadows.

"The suzerain doesn't seem to trust them?"

Ten thousand people looked at Mr. Ghost in front of them with deep faces, frowned and said, "Mr. is knowledgeable, do you know the identities of these two people?"

Mr. Ghost shook his head and said in surprise, "That woman is indeed the same as a monster, but she seems to be different from ordinary monsters, and that man is full of Taoist magic power, but he is not from the Qingyun sect. I don't know who they are. origin."

Fear often comes from the unknown. Although this pair of men and women of unknown origin will not make everyone feel terrified, the most basic vigilance still exists.

Ten thousand people frowned and said, "Last month's mother-in-law's birthday, I was supposed to go to Liuhu Cave with little idiot Yao'er to celebrate her birthday, but due to a temporary delay due to some things, I had to let her go alone with Yao'er. The ambush was clearly planned for a long time, and the timing of Zhou Ji and Si Teng's appearance was too coincidental."

"It happened to be in front of the Liuhu Cave, and I happened to rescue Xiao Chi and Yao'er from the cave buried deep in the ground." Wan Wan paused and shook his head gently, "I went down that tunnel to save people. If they didn't know in advance that someone was buried under the mountain, how could the two of them go straight to the cave and rescue the person?

Just relying on that "Miss Sito" who has superficial demon power? "

"What does the suzerain mean?" Mr. Gui frowned.

"Is the icing on the cake better than giving charcoal in the snow?" Wan Wan said in a deep voice with his eyes wide open, "The two of them already knew about Xiao Chi's encounter with him, and they confirmed in advance where Xiao Chi and Yao'er were trapped. I deliberately waited until the two of them had run out of oil, and then rescued them, in order to make me feel grateful and borrow the heavenly book."

Recalling that when he just supported his wife, the right arm only had the touch of a skeleton, and the murderous aura of thousands of people surged, and hatred also flooded into his heart like a tidal wave.

He couldn't imagine what kind of suffering this wife, who was so pure and kind that she could be foolish when she saw a flower, had to suffer.

Damn Zhengdao, damn Tianyin Temple, when I understand the secrets of Fulongding and integrate the Demon Cult, I will break through the gate of Tianyin Temple, and don’t cut those thieves to pieces. It’s hard to relieve my hatred!

"By the way, suzerain." When he came to the little idiot's room, Mr. Ghost paused, showing hesitation, and said, "When I was diagnosing and treating the madam just now, I found something. The flesh and blood of the madam's right arm and right leg It's as if she cut it off herself."

"What do you mean?" Wan Wan stopped in his tracks, and his expression of trying to stretch became solemn again.

Mr. Ghost didn't answer, but Wan Xiang's face became more and more ugly.

Because Xiao Chi and Baguio were rescued before, and Xiao Chi deliberately avoided this question, all people tended to focus on Zhou Ji and Si Teng, and didn't have time to think about it. Now Mr. Ghost pointed it out. Only then did he react, as if a sharp claw had grabbed his heart, causing him to sway in pain, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

"Father, are you back?"

As if seeing the light and shadow outside the door, a bouncing figure poked out half of its head from under the window frame.

Seeing thousands of people coming back, Baguio trotted over and opened the door, only to find that her father, who used to like to smile at her, picked her up and teased her with his mustache, looked at her with a complicated expression at this moment, she was still young Can't understand what these complex emotions are.

But it can also capture the feeling that children can also experience from it.

That's disgusting.

Mr. Ghost behind him quietly hid in the shadows, missing.

Ten thousand people looked at the delicate and lovely little girl in front of them, trying to put on a smile, but they would always think of Xiao Chi's mutilated body, no matter how deep the city was in front of outsiders, it was difficult to pretend at this moment.

In the room, I haven't seen Baguio come back for a long time, the little idiot sat up with his arms propped up, and softly called Baguio's name, everyone was stunned, showing a familiar gentle smile, and wanted to hold Baguio's little hand towards the house Baguio walked in, but Baguio took a step back to avoid her. Seeing her pitiful appearance that was about to cry, she sighed softly, picked her up like before, and while teasing her with her beard, she turned inward. room.

That night, Wan Wan specially hosted a banquet for Zhou Ji and Si Teng. On the one hand, they wanted to thank Zhou Ji for saving the idiot Baguio, and on the other hand, they heard that Baguio had worshiped Si Teng as their teacher, so they specially prepared a banquet for them. Make up for this teacher apprentice banquet.

When Si Teng finished his makeup and came to the side hall with Zhou Ji, Wan Wanwang, Baguio, Qinglong, Baihu, and You Ji were already waiting here. The two of them entered the banquet, and in the corridor of the side hall, a group of maids placed all kinds of delicacies on the table. Bi Yao, who was sitting next to thousands of people, lowered her head, her face turned pale, and she could barely eat. The vegetables, melons and fruits around her, her favorite meat in the past, seemed to make her subconsciously retch until she vomited out all the meat she had eaten before.

Baguio's abnormality naturally fell into the eyes of everyone. You Ji Qinglong and the others didn't understand why, but Wan Wanxiang, Zhou Ji and Si Teng understood the reason. Zhou Ji sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Ghost King for your hospitality, but I've been feeling unwell recently, and I don't see meat, can I remove the meat and have a vegetarian meal?"

Si Teng glanced at Zhou Ji, a flash of approval flashed in his eyes, but Wan Wan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Bi Yao beside him, and suddenly understood, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he laughed loudly, "It's okay , This is because this seat has not thought carefully, come here, remove all these meat dishes, and replace them with some vegetarian dishes and melons and fruits."

Most of the dishes on the table were empty immediately, Baguio felt relieved, and some blood returned to his pale face.

Taking advantage of the re-changing of dishes, Wan Wan took the lead in holding up the wine glasses, toasted Zhou Ji and Si Teng respectively, and expressed their gratitude again. After pushing the glasses and changing the glasses, they began to chat about interesting and strange stories in the world of practice, from Qingyunmen Talk to Fenxiang Valley, and then from Fenxiang Valley to Tianyin Temple.

When he talked about Tianyin Temple, there was no smile on his face anymore. Zhengdao did not leak any information about the attack on Liuhu Cave beforehand, and even the insiders he placed in various sects did not pass on the relevant secret letters to him afterwards. Ji and Si Teng happened to appear outside the Liuhu Cave, and then dug a straight passage from under the collapsed half of the hill to rescue the idiot mother and daughter, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Hearing the emotion in Wan Wan Xiang's mouth, Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing out loud. He understood Wan Wan Xiang's doubts and fears very well. If he was in the situation, he would definitely doubt whether such a "coincidence" was really a coincidence.

Can't say clearly, can only prove it with strength.

Zhou Ji shook his head, and the square map lit up in the palm of his hand. In an instant, a feeling of extreme danger surged into everyone's heart. This is an early warning from the deepest part of the soul, and it is also a life that comes from the most instinctive fear.

However, the time of one breath is so long in the eyes of Wan Wanxiang and Qinglong Baihu Youji. Suddenly, everything seems to be an illusion. Only their backs soaked in cold sweat let them understand that it was not an illusion, but The young man in front of him who seemed easy to speak seemed not as simple as he seemed.
