to blame

Obviously when I climbed up, it was just a clump of low rocks, but for some reason, I felt as if I was walking on a very high mountain when I went down.

The rocks on both sides of the stone steps are piled up, and layers of green are exposed between the rocks. The thin mist shrouds the top of the rocks, and it is not clear to see further away.

Qingqiu climbed up along his lapel, rubbed against his chin, and quietly comforted him in an encrypted way, "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid, but I'm not very sure." Ming Xia touched its back, "Have you noticed that there are trees here, but there are no birdsong. Tell me, could this also be an illusion created by the other party?"

"Don't guess, it's definitely true." Qingqiu looked quite calm, with a bit of disdain in his small eyes, "Let me tell you, these are common tricks used by monsters."

It clapped its paws and explained to Ming Xia, "Leave you alone first, wait for you to feel restless and shake your will, and then create a frightening illusion to attack you further. When the human spirit is about to collapse, they Jump out again. At this time, whether it is to win or intimidate, it will achieve very good results."

Ming Xia, "..."

It turns out that monsters also talk about routines? !

"Actually, there were some... well, textbooks circulated among monsters earlier." Qingqiu glanced at Ming Xia quietly, and seeing that he didn't show any disgusted expression, he said, "It's just to understand human customs and habits." Well, how do you get close to them, how do you talk so that they won't be suspicious..."

Ming Xia flicked it on the head angrily, "You won't tell me how to make the captured people the best?"

Qingqiu opened his mouth wide, "You... how do you know?!"

Ming Xia, "..."

There really is such content? !

One person and one bird looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ming Xia shivered for a moment, suddenly felt that this topic was too weird.

"You can't be my hallucination, right?" Ming Xia poked Qingqiu's fat belly, "Actually, the real little Qingqiu is still flying around on the hillside to investigate."

Qingqiu was afraid of tickle, he smiled and dodged away.

Ming Xia poked it again, "Have you read that wonderful textbook?"

"Nope." Qingqiu dodged his fingers back and forth, and rolled his eyes angrily, "At that time, I only wanted to get in among human beings and get ahead, so why did I study cannibalism?"

Ming Xia felt better.

Qingqiu said again: "Besides, I don't know how to cook. It would be troublesome to catch people and cook them by myself. I have to sharpen knives and light a fire... How can I buy roast chicken and eat it?"

Ming Xia, "..."

This way of thinking, Ming Xia thought, is really very pragmatic.

Qingqiu licked his mouth and sighed melancholy, "Oh, I haven't eaten fried chicken for a long time."

Being interrupted by this little guy, Ming Xia's anxiety seemed to disappear, thinking that people would come in anyway, and if the monster really wanted to eat him, what could he do?

Having said that, it was really to eat him. I am afraid that there should be other purposes if there is no need to make such a troublesome foreshadowing.Then there is no need to be afraid.

The way down the mountain was endless, so Ming Xia was tired, so she simply sat down on the steps with Qingqiu in her arms.His backpack is still hanging on his body. There are compressed biscuits and energy bars in the bag. Although the taste is not as delicious as fried chicken, the basic functions of filling his stomach and replenishing energy can still be guaranteed.

One person and one bird shared a chocolate-flavored energy bar.

Ming Xia asked Qingqiu, "Would you like to continue walking?"

Qingqiu didn't answer, but a pair of round bean eyes looked towards the direction where the steps extended.

At the end of the steps, a cloud of indistinct green appeared at some point, giving the impression that there was an exit there, but it was blocked by the shade of the trees.

Ming Xia picked up Qingqiu and walked towards the mass of green.As they approached, the scenery on both sides of the steps gradually changed. The high and low rocks were gradually replaced by clusters of willows and plantains. misty rain.

Ming Xia seemed to have stepped into a dream that was dyed green by the spring rain.

In the depths of the thick shade, the young man in plain robe was lazily leaning on the intertwined branches of the old banyan tree, his black hair hanging down to the ground like a cloud.

He held the pot in one hand and raised the glass in the other, with a slightly drunk look on his white jade-like cheeks, he just closed his eyes and murmured when he heard the footsteps, "It's so noisy..."

Ming Xia thought to himself, has Laozi finally been passed through by these monsters?

Qingqiu arched in his arms uncomfortably, and asked Ming Xia in a low voice, "Isn't this tune called pretense?"

Ming Xia hurried to pinch its mouth.

In this situation, the enemy and the enemy are not clear, and the little boy offends people (demons?) by opening his mouth.What if someone didn't plan to have an extra meal at this moment, but after being ridiculed by it, they suddenly had an appetite?

Master Su Pao's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of baby-like black and white eyes, clear and bright like glazed beads.The two long eyelashes covered the pupils like clear springs, and there was a faint crimson shadow at the corners of the eyes, just like a layer of rouge dyed on a fine white jade bottle, it was indescribably beautiful and moving.

Ming Xia instantly felt that he saw a fairy.

Ming Xia stared blankly at him for a moment, then coughed in an unpleasant way, "Then what... your old name?"

Son, "..."

Ming Xia looked at him innocently, with a respectful expression.

No matter how beautiful the guy in front of him looks, how tender he seems to be able to drip water, just seeing him appear here, Ming Xia knows that he will not be his peers.And judging by the style of his clothes, it is neither Qing Dynasty nor Ming Dynasty.If you push it further back, what year would it be?

Even if Ming Xia couldn't tell the exact age from his clothes at the moment, at least he could guess that it must have been several hundred years old.

At his age, he should be polite to a little human being.

Leaving aside the bunch of domesticated ones in the old town, this is the first time Ming Xia has encountered wild monsters (snakes, fishwives, and those without IQ are not counted), and thinking about it, she is still a little excited.

Qing Qiu observed the young master's expression silently, and buried his face in Ming Xia's arms with sweat.Just now Ming Xia pinched its mouth, look, within 2 minutes, he himself started to offend people.

Before entering the mountain, it should give Ming Xia a popular science.A lot of monsters are very stinking, and I hate others to say they are old, ugly, etc. These terrible words are all unspeakable!

I don't know if it's too late to remind him now?

Qingqiu secretly beat a drum in his heart.

The young master blinked his misty eyes, and sighed rather melancholy, "Are you coming from outside?"

Ming Xia smiled dryly, "You are really funny."

If he didn't know that they were outside, why did this person try so hard to come up with so many tricks, and even brought him and Qingqiu here? If he didn't know in advance, who would believe it?

Ming Xia looked at Qingqiu nestled in front of her chest, and thought that monsters would lose their IQ if they were imprisoned for a long time, right?Then you feel that human beings are the type who are so stupid and easy to deceive?

The young master did not show any displeasure, and the expression between his brows and eyes was still faint, "If you think so, I have nothing to say. Then guess, why did I bring you here?"

Ming Xia thought for a while, "It must be because of Qingqiu."

He is dressed the same as everyone else, so how can there be any difference in terms of human body structure?If there is one, he is better at it, right?The only variable is that he has a monster on him.

The son smiled lightly.

Ming Xia looked a little dazed.He felt that the person in front of him might also be a vixen—different from a silly fox like Qingqiu who only knew how to eat chicken, but a real vixen who turned all living beings upside down.

How about raising your eyelids to look so... so coquettish?

"Since it's from outside," the young master poured himself a glass of wine, lowered his head to sniff, and ordered without raising his head, "Then tell me about the outside things."

Qingqiu was still a bit down on his pretentiousness, but when he heard this topic, he suddenly became excited, "You haven't been out for many years, have you? Oh, you don't know, the outside world has really become boring. It looks good, there are people and cars everywhere, the buildings are so tall, women can drink and fight and carry guns!"

Son, "..."

Ming Xia, "..."

Ming Xia Fu forehead.

Didn't you just fight once?Coupled with several quarrels, how much resentment does this guy have towards Li Youran?

Qingqiu bounced and continued to complain, "You know the big factory? Don't you know? It's just a big guy buzzing all day long, a big machine! It can make a lot of things, food and drink are packed in small bags , it won’t go bad after a long time! The milk can be wrapped, and now people outside don’t need to raise their own cows if they want to drink milk!”

The young master looked at the excited Qingqiu without saying a word, his eyes were a little dull.

Ming Xia felt that what he wanted to inquire from Qingqiu probably wasn't about food and drink.

"Also," Qingqiu said, frothing, "I used to have to wait for someone to pull a water truck into the city if I wanted to drink some mountain spring water, but now I don't need it anymore, they pour the mountain spring water into small bottles, It is sold in the supermarket, and you can drink it whenever you want...Do you know the supermarket? It is a place where things are sold, ouch, a lot of things are sold together..."

Ming Xia suddenly wanted to laugh, but tried her best to hold it back.

The young master coughed twice, interrupting Qingqiu's narration, "Are there any monster races outside?"

"Gah?" Qingqiu braked a little hastily, and choked himself, "Yaozu? Of course."

The son's eyes lit up.

"Take the civilian residential area outside our formation as an example." Qingqiu's tone had a sense of superiority for popularizing science for bumpkins, "There must be a 'sixth group', oh, that is, the certificate issued by the Zhenyaosi. It is similar to the previous household registration certificate, and then you can go to school, go to work, open a shop and do business like a human being."

After a pause, Qingqiu unconsciously licked his small mouth, "There are many shops outside...the food is delicious now."

Ming Xia squeezed its little claws, and comforted it in a helpless voice, "I'll treat you to fried chicken when I get back."

Qingqiu nodded hurriedly.

"Don't talk about these things." The young master's eyes were disdainful, and some looked down on Qingqiu's stupid look who only knew how to eat and drink. "Let me ask you, is the matter of the demon clan now under the control of the demon town?"

Not talking about eating and drinking, Qingqiu was not so interested, "Yes."

The young master frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on Ming Xia's face like needles, "Those outside... and you, are they all from the demon town?"

Ming Xia didn't know if she said no, would she be eaten because of her lack of use value.After such a hesitation, Qingqiu nodded beside him.

The young master leaned back and let out a sigh of relief, "Excuse me, I want to make a deal with you."
