to blame

Hearing the word "deal", Ming Xia's scalp involuntarily went numb.He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to make deals with monsters in his lifetime.

Ming Xia felt a little emotional in his heart, and was about to explain that he was not actually a demon-suppressing person, but was just running errands there temporarily, when Qingqiu scratched his arm hard.

There is a tacit understanding between one person and one bird, so Ming Xia shut up honestly.

Qingqiu raised his chest and raised his head, trying to put on a serious and negotiating posture, "If you want to make a deal with my lord, at least make a self-introduction first."

The young master got up and took two steps, and said calmly: "The transaction can be completed, and there will be opportunities for greetings in the future. If it doesn't work, it's useless to introduce too much. Don't you think so?"

He politely gestured to Ming Xia, "Please go this way", and then assumed the posture of the host and led the man around the old banyan tree with one bird, and stepped on the green grass all over the ground into a place. A gazebo by the water.

Ming Xia was completely bewildered by now.

He looked at the plain-robed young man in front of him, and then at the misty lake outside the gazebo, and suspected that the place where they were at the moment was not the same space as the rock just now.

The young master stood leaning on a railing, his long dark cloud-like hair draped over his shoulders, gently undulating in the breeze.

Ming Xia thought with some regret, if only they were allowed to bring their mobile phones with them before they set off.Such a picture can be directly used as a computer desktop after being photographed.

He hugged Qingqiu on his chest, rubbed against Ming Xia uneasily, and began to whisper to him, "Did you find this place strange? It seems that there is no entrance and no exit... It should be made by monsters fantasy."

Ming Xia thought about the stone steps that appeared inexplicably when he came here, the so-called illusion might have included them since then.

Qingqiu reminded him, "This is also a monster locked in the big formation, don't believe what he said too much."

Ming Xia nodded slightly, showing that he knew what he knew.

The young master leaned on the railing, and sighed, "I'm stuck here, and I haven't seen anyone outside for a long time. There was an earthquake a few days ago, and I heard that the formation was damaged in several places. It must be for this reason that the adults came in. Bar?"

Ming Xia nodded, the reason was so obvious that others could guess it without mentioning it, there was nothing he couldn't admit.

The young master said again: "Repair the big formation, and seal back the escaped demon clan. The things that the demon master has to do are nothing more than these... I remember correctly, right?"

Ming Xia and Qing Qiu glanced at each other quietly, then nodded.

"A few days ago, someone from the Shui tribe escaped from the formation, and after a while, another person came back with injuries." The young master turned his head sideways, and his autumn-like eyes fell gently on Ming Xia's face, "I guess Your coming in is also related to this matter, right?"

Ming Xia remained silent.

He is a technician, and he is not yet a member of the "Sixth Group", so what he can know is really limited.As for the real mission of Nanjiang's team, it may have something to do with this water scorpion, but it is impossible for Ming Xia to know as an outsider.

He wouldn't bother to ask about this either.

"I remember that the patriarch of the Shui Clan is the big demon water pheasant that relies on the power of the whole clan to make offerings. It passed by the Xixin River a few days ago and went to the north. Now..." The young master paused, as if he paid special attention to Ming Xia. Response, "If I'm not mistaken, it's at Belle Pine."

Ming Xia was really taken aback. He didn't expect that he would reveal such important information before the so-called deal was discussed.

The young master smiled slightly, "Vote a certificate."

Ming Xia felt a headache.

He originally planned to play Tai Chi first, to make a routine, but he didn't expect that he would throw out the chips all of a sudden...

Is this for him to pick up?Or not?

"I have no right to decide anything." Ming Xia swallowed with difficulty, "I can only promise to help you bring the word to the 'sixth group', which is the leader of the town demon division."

Mr. Supao thought for a moment and understood what he meant.

"Then please trouble your lord." The young master cupped his hands, showing just the right amount of shame on his face, "I know I have committed a crime, so I dare not ask to join the battle. But I have been trapped here for so long, and I really want to have the opportunity to go elsewhere Go and have a look. My lord, please pass on a message for me, saying that if you can let me leave the aquatic world, I am willing to be an eye placed by the demon town in the formation."

Ming Xia was not surprised by such a request.People who are hungry want food, and people who have lost their freedom most desire, of course, the right to walk freely.

"I remember." Ming Xia followed his example and cupped his hands, "I will definitely bring what you say, Young Master."

As soon as his arm was raised, he almost threw the unsuspecting Qingqiu away.

Qingqiu quickly grabbed Ming Xia's sleeves, climbed onto his shoulders in three steps and two steps, nestled on the side of his neck with lingering fear, while secretly thinking about the term "aquatic world" where did it hear it?

The young master's gaze moved away from Qingqiu's body, and returned to Mingxia's face.

Probably because the words have already been spoken, his expression seems to be much more relaxed, "From here to the pine cliff in the north, the best way to go is to cross the aquatic world. But although the road is easy to walk, it is a pity that there are some things in the river. trouble."

Ming Xia doesn't quite understand what it means to cross the aquatic world, but this route was discussed in a meeting between them, and he naturally knows that among the three known routes, walking along the river is the most convenient in comparison. The risk is also relatively low.

However, it is indeed very troublesome.

Ming Xia thought to himself, if it wasn't for avoiding these troubles, they wouldn't have gotten into this spooky Nanfeng.

The experience of the past few days made Ming Xia feel that perhaps the danger of Leather Mian Mountain does not lie in the number of ferocious monsters hidden in the mountain, but in the possibility of unexpected and uncertain disturbance factors appearing in this place at any time.

"I have something here," the young master took out a wooden box from the armhole and handed it over, "it can help adults."

The box is about ten centimeters long and three or four centimeters wide, with four corners covered with copper, and the workmanship is quite exquisite.Over time, the dark wood has been rubbed very smooth, with a lustrous luster like jade.

"This is?" Ming Xia looked at him uncertainly, and then stole a glance at Qing Qiu.

He thought that Qingqiu had been working for a while, and he should be familiar with the rules and regulations of the "Sixth Group".It should know what to accept and what not to accept, right?

Qingqiu didn't think of any rules and regulations at the moment, its attention was attracted by the wooden box.

"This smell..." It walked back and forth on Ming Xia's shoulders a little uneasy, "What exactly is it? I seem to have smelled it somewhere..."

The young master opened the lid of the box, and the wooden box was padded with black velvet, on which was a three-inch long and short blue feather, shining brilliantly.

"This is a feather on Qingluan's wing." Mr. Su Pao didn't show off, and explained generously: "You must know that all the people trapped in the 'Aquatic World' are water demons. And the Qingluan clan is It is the nemesis of the water demon."

Ming Xia felt that her three views had been shattered again.

He has been thinking that the fishwife is a parasite, so it is a water demon? !

The young master smiled slightly, "The fishwife is the lowest level of monsters in the aquatic tribe without enlightenment. With this feather, my lord, no matter what is sealed in the Xixin River, I dare not come out to provoke again."

In other words, if they already had such a thing, they wouldn't even need to prepare a raincoat, and they would be able to pass right away?

This conclusion gave Ming Xia a new inspiration.He decided to ask Mr. Hu about the attributes of mutual generation and restraint of the monsters in the Xishan Great Formation after he went back.

If fishwives have something to counter them, don't other yokai have it too?

This is like the poisonous weed must grow near the poisonous weed.If they have mastered enough to restrain each monster before entering the territory of each monster.Wouldn't their mission be much smoother?

Thinking like this, Ming Xia quickly took out the notebook from the bag, and wrote down this new idea in detail.

Because this idea came from the young man in front of him, and this person was pretending to be casually peeping at Ming Xia's notebook, so Ming Xia naturally couldn't write down how he planned to deal with monsters in front of others.I can only find a subtle compromise method, mixing English and French together to ensure that my thoughts are fully recorded.

Such a record, let alone a monster that has been imprisoned for hundreds of years, even his teacher Wen Liang might not be able to understand it.

The young master glanced back and forth a few times, probably because he didn't know the characters written by Ming Xia, so he felt a little resentful.

He paced back and forth in the gazebo, looked at Qingqiu and sighed, "No wonder you just said that many things in the outside world have changed."

Qingqiu, who just graduated from the literacy class, feels sorry for her. "People outside are using simplified characters, which are all evolved from our original characters...it's actually not difficult to learn."

The young master didn't seem very confident, "Really?"

Qingqiu comforted him with the tone of a person who has experienced it, "It's true. Many characters directly use the radicals of the original character, or part of the font. Even if you don't learn it specially, you will know it after reading more."

The son still didn't quite believe it, but he didn't say anything.

After Ming Xia finished recording, his mood became much more cheerful. He took the initiative to thank the monster, and asked how to get back to the short hill he was pushed up by Nanjiang from here.

The young master seemed a little reluctant for them to leave, "The chef here is not bad, why don't you stay for dinner?"

Qingqiu gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

Ming Xia was angry and funny, he stretched out his hand to touch Qingqiu's back, but his face showed a polite expression, "I got the treasure to deal with the fishwife, and I am in a hurry to pass on the words of the young master. There will be no further delay .”

The young master didn't force himself, nodded and said: "In this case, I won't keep my lord. You can go back to the mountain outside by following the way you came here."

Ming Xia noticed a wry smile on his face, and secretly guessed that this place called "Aquatic Realm" might be the same as the circle outside the old city. ), but prisoners who were trapped in the formation to serve their sentences like this gentleman in plain robes could not come and go freely.

Ming Xia looked him up and down, trying to remember all the characteristics of him, lest Nanjiang and the others ask him and he couldn't explain clearly.

Mr. Supao let him look at him with a smile on his face, "What else do you want to ask, my lord?"

At the moment of farewell, Ming Xia finally remembered a very important question, "I don't know what to call the young master?"

There was an extremely complicated expression in the young master's eyes, half happy and sad.With a long sigh, he said, "It's been a long, long time since anyone asked me this question."

Ming Xia waited for a while, seeing that he was still fascinated, couldn't help asking him, "...Is it convenient to say?"

The young master shook his head, "My lord, when you go back, you only need to say the three words 'Aquatic World'. You will know everything you need to know."

Ming Xia, "..."

Well, with just this sentence, Ming Xia knew that this person must be very clear in his heart, and he knew that this "adult" actually didn't care about anything.

All he needs is someone who has the patience to communicate with monsters and is willing to pass on his message.
