The Taste of Ghosts in the World

The sky gradually darkened, and some stall owners began to close their stalls and leave one after another, but the bustle in front of the wine stall was still unabated. The stall owners raised red lanterns one by one, hanging them on the wine streamers, one by one, looking around, the splendor The lights of the lights formed a long dragon in the dark night, surrounded by alcoholic goblins, all of them flushed, but they were still unwilling to leave. Depressedly mixed together, like a pot of boiling soup, with a strong aroma of wine.

The "Xiangjiuhui" market is open all night, and they will revel in this way until the end of the festival.

This was a grand event in the demon world, and it was only then that Qi Mu truly understood what You Yi said - "They are experts in eating, drinking and having fun."

Qi Mu and Feng Baisui are not people who like to go shopping. They have been walking for a whole day, so they tacitly decided to rest early. Anyway, this carnival will last for a long time.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they asked the owner about the news about the room, and when they learned that Chen Gu hadn't come back, they waited for a while before seeing the human walk in slowly with tired steps.

"Are you back?" Qi Mu greeted him, "Did you find any clues?"

Chen Gu shook his head dejectedly, pulled a chair and sat down, sighed and said: "There are so many monsters here, and it's really hard to find one out of them."

Qi Mu didn't know how to comfort him, so he hesitated for a while, so he patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and said, "Don't worry, this is only the first day, and there is still a lot of time."

Chen Gu pinched the bridge of his nose slowly, and didn't speak anymore. At this moment, even he himself couldn't believe that he could find a way to fish out his thin little bamboo in this sea of ​​demon world.

Unexpectedly, the next day, things ushered in a turning point.

When Qi Mu and the others walked out of the restaurant in the morning, three little demons ran towards them, all with eager smiles on their faces, and the leader said, "Master Yuanling! Master Zhulong! Long time no see!"

As he said that, he shook Qi Mu's hand excitedly, a fresh aura flowed from his hand, and the leading little demon suddenly felt refreshed, and couldn't help but smile again.

The two next to him were envious, and wanted to follow the same pattern and rub some candle dragon's aura, but when they saw Feng Baisui's obviously displeased black face, they withdrew their outstretched hands abruptly.

Qi Mu was confused by them, carefully identifying the appearance of the little monster in front of him, but he couldn't find any familiar feeling.

"Excuse me... do we know each other?"

The other two demons froze when they heard this. They lowered their heads silently, showing a shameful expression, but the leader didn't feel embarrassed at all, and still smiled and said: "You don't remember that we are so normal At that time, the scene was chaotic in the Battle of Immortals, and as soon as I saw the two adults, I felt reverence from the bottom of my heart. Although I didn’t really meet each other, I have been friends for a long time.”

"Spiritual friendship?" Feng Baisui repeated his words with an unkind expression, his stomach churning slightly.

Fortunately, the demon was clever enough, and immediately changed his words: "Admiration! It's admiration... We have admired you two for a long time!"

"Thank you." Qi Mu replied politely.

"Please accept us as younger brothers!"

"..."

Qi Mu looked at the three pairs of shining eyes in front of him in embarrassment, and said after a while, "But we don't need a younger brother... why don't we just make friends, wouldn't that be better?"

Their expressions were first disappointment and then surprise. As soon as Qi Mu finished speaking, they immediately stated: "It is a great honor to be friends with you two!"

"What are the names of the three?"

"I'm Frog Nine," the leader patted himself on the chest, and pointed to his companion behind him, "They are my brothers, one is called Frog Twelve, and the other is called Frog Bull."

"...Is there some other kind of thing mixed in among you?"

The little demon who looks taller than the two brothers, but has a shy personality, heard Qi Mu say this, a little sadly said: "I... I don't look like the other brothers, they all Said I was as strong as a cow, so I named myself that..."

Frog Nine patted him next to him and said, "Don't think about it too much, it's a good thing to be stronger!" Then he embraced a brother with one hand, and said to Qi Mu, "Lord Yuan Ling, don't worry, the three of us are all the same mother." Born, definitely a brother!"

Qi Mu nodded, and asked Feng Baisui in a low voice, "Frogs and bullfrogs can still hybridize?"

"how could I know!"

"My lords, if there is anything you can use our brothers for, just open your mouth, we will definitely die, be meticulous, throw our heads, and shed our blood..."

Before Frog Nine could finish speaking, Qi Mu saw Chen Gu coming out of the restaurant in a hurry, remembering to find someone, and quickly called him over.

"Frog Nine, can you help find someone...ah no, find a demon?"

"It's too simple! As long as it is within the scope of this demon world, you tell me the address, and I will immediately invite him over!"

"The most troublesome thing is this, we don't know the address..."

"Then you should know the name, right? It's fine if you have a name."

Chen Gu quickly said: "His name is 'Little Bamboo'!"

"Little bamboo?" Frog Nine frowned.

Chen Gu explained: "I don't know if his real name is this, but he is a bamboo demon. When we are together, I always call him 'Little Bamboo'."

"Who would come up with such a name?" Frog Nine rolled his eyes at Chen Gu, "I am a frog spirit, do I have the name 'Little Frog'?"

"..."

"How about this, please describe his characteristics to me. Also, was he a resident of the demon world from the beginning or did he move here later?"

"He moved here later. He should have been in the demon world for no more than 20 years. Characteristics..." Chen Gu said distressedly: "He was still a child when I left, and I don't know what he has become now."

"Then tell me which class he belongs to?"

"What level?" Chen Gu looked blank.

"It's just whether he looks good or not!"

"It's pretty..." Speaking of this, Chen Gu felt a little embarrassed, "Little Zhuzi's facial features are very delicate, even if he grows up, he must still be pretty."

Frog Nine rolled his eyes again, and Frog Twelve next to him explained: "The transformation of a goblin can be adjusted by relying on demon power, but the main body will not change, so what my ninth brother means is, is his main body good-looking? Well, it belongs to the upper class or the middle class.”

"The main body?" Chen Gu thought about it carefully, "I don't seem to have seen the main body of Xiao Zhuzi..."

Seeing that Frog Nine was about to speak again, he hurriedly added: "But his human figure is very good-looking, so the main body should be pretty good too."

"Should?! Should you dare to say something that is invisible and intangible?"

Qi Mu knew that it was a bit difficult to find someone based on this little information, and seeing that Frog Nine was in trouble, he didn't want to bother them anymore, so he said, "If it doesn't work, let's forget it, let's think of a way..."

"Hey, lord Yuan Ling, don't say that!" Frog Nine was in a hurry, interrupted him quickly, slapped his chest and said, "Why can't it work? Leave it to me! We'll go find it now, and I'll guarantee it to you." turn up!"

"But……"

"Don't worry, I am very familiar with the demon world. I know where the grass grows. If we can't find it, then no one will be able to find it!"

He spoke so confidently that Qi Mu had no choice but to take back what he was going to say earlier, and before he had time to thank him, the frog brothers left quickly.

Although someone helped, Chen Gu still couldn't sit still, and went out to look for it by himself.Qi Mu and Feng Baisui were left, and then wandered around the market.

About half a day later, when they were picking out necklaces for the decapitated female ghost in front of a small stall, Frog Jiu came back in a hurry. Seeing him appear, Qi Mu suddenly thought of a serious problem.

"The female ghost's neck is broken in two, can she still wear a necklace?"

Feng Baisui snorted mockingly, "You're out of your mind."

Qi Mu immediately retorted: "You must have never thought of it before I said it."

"At least I didn't say..."

"My lords..." Fearing that they would continue talking like this, Frog Nine had no choice but to remind her after being ignored for a long time.

"Ah, Frog Nine." Qi Mu smiled apologetically at him, and then asked, "Are you coming to the market too?"

"..." Being ignored by idols is not a good feeling, but Frog Nine prides himself on being a strong man, so he immediately cheered up and said: "I have already contacted other brothers, let's go find them together, there are a lot of us, Surely it will be found."

Qi Mu nodded, "Thank you, I will trouble you all."

"Small things, small things!" Frog Jiu waved his hands proudly, thought for a while and asked again: "Is this the first time for the two adults to participate in the 'Scented Wine Party'?"

"Yes."

"Then why don't I introduce you to the tradition of the 'Fragrant Wine Club'." After Frog Nine finished speaking, she spontaneously became their tour guide.

Hearing what he said, Qi Mu realized that the wine stalls of the 'Fragrant Wine Club' were all free, and customers were allowed to drink with their stomachs open. Not only did the stall owner not feel bad, but he would encourage everyone to drink more.No wonder the front of the wine stall is always bustling.

It's just that the finished wine jars cannot be taken away, they must be left to the stall owner. The day before the end of the "fragrant wine party", the drinkers and the stall owner will come together to count the number of empty wine jars, and which one is empty. The wine with the most altars is the "Wine King" this time, and within the next 50 years, their family's wine is eligible to be called "the number one wine in the demon world".In addition, the other worlds rarely produce wine, and the human world is not included in the reference range due to the particularity of the mixed residents of dragons and snakes. Therefore, the wine that can win the first prize at the "Scented Wine Club" has become the "Three Realms No. [-] wine". One Brew".

This is the highest honor, so that every time at the "Fragrant Wine Party", the restaurant owners must show their housekeeping skills and gamble on 50 years of research results, just to be able to win the "Wine King" crown in one fell swoop.

Fighting wine is the most important activity of the "Fragrant Wine Club". At first glance, the market seems to be a happy market, but in fact, the competition is quite fierce in the dark. Many monsters flock here to see the "Liquor King".

And once the first prize is won, the price of the "No. [-] Brew in the Three Realms" will soar rapidly, and it will not be easy to drink good wine at that time. Since it is free now, of course everyone can buy more.

As the crowd moved, Qi Mu found that there were only three or two people around one of the wine stalls. Compared with the lively scenes of other stalls, it seemed quite deserted.

At this time, the person blocking his sight walked away, and Qi Mu saw clearly——

Dressed in black, with a pale face and a fierce expression, leather eyepatch covering most of his face, Mr. Wuchai, the black snake who led the demons to attack the heaven not long ago, was sitting in the small wine stall with his chest crossed at this moment. Behind him, there was an air-conditioning that was incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere.
