At that moment, Xiao Qing had already thought about it. If this lifeless little snake dared to get closer to him by an inch, he would directly explode the snake's head. He was not wrong. In the last thousandth of a second, a The golden arrow strikes with Li Fenghuaguang between them, piercing straight into the snake's three inches.
The huge snake body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky.
The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched with sarcasm, and slowly opened his eyes. The snake's head was split by the arrow, and blood splashed on Xiao Qing's face. It was bright red, and it looked enchanting and ghostly in the gray mist.
However, the evil spirit only vented for a moment, and soon Xiao Qing adjusted his expression and looked at Lu Jinzhi in a daze. He tried to stand up, but fell to the ground in vain, causing the casually tied ponytail to fall loose.
But at this moment, Xiao Dump noticed one thing, he lighted realgar incense and the little snakes didn't dare to get close to him. It's reasonable, but why, those little snakes didn't dare to get close to Lu Jinzhi?
Lu Jinzhi quickly stepped forward to help him up, and asked with a worried face, "Are you hurt?"
It was clear that he set the boa constrictor on purpose to attack Xiao Qing, and now that he is still acting like this, Xiao Qing said in his heart that his acting skills are good, and he also began to compete with him in acting skills.
"I'm fine, but I can't stand up all the time." Xiao Qing hissed in pain as soon as he moved his foot, his eyes showed a little weakness, and he said with a bitter face: "Young master, can you help me? "
"Let me take a look." Lu Jinzhi held him down, lifted his clothes and squatted down, grabbed his ankles, and said, "It doesn't seem like a bone?"
Xiao Qing lowered his eyelashes and bit his lower lip: "When I rolled down all the way just now, I knocked on my foot bones."
Hearing this, Lu Jinzhi rolled up the trousers under his clothes, and saw that the tender skin was covered with bruises and bruises, so he took out the liquid medicine and carefully applied it on the wound: "Let's make it up for now."
After hastily dealt with it, Lu Jinzhi stood up and walked towards the giant python that fell on the ground, took out a dagger and scraped off the scales, then pulled the snake guts out abruptly.
The snake gall was as big as several people's heads, Lu Jinzhi put it in the Qiankun bag, washed his hands with the water he carried, and then turned to Xiao Qing.
"You can go back, when you still recognize it..."
Lu Jinzhi's voice stopped in his mouth, he stepped lightly, and walked over. Xiao Qing leaned against the tree trunk and fell into a deep sleep. His long eyelashes fell on his eyelids, like the wings of a butterfly, and his face was wiped with white jade. The filth and filth made his original fair and smooth skin even more apparent.
He probably fell asleep for a while, his bright red mouth was slightly opened, and there were still some suspicious water marks on the corner of his mouth.
It was only then that Lu Jinzhi remembered that Mr. Lang didn't seem to have eaten yet. With a mortal body, he must be famished after running around for so long.
Lu Jinzhi took off his robe and put it on Xiao Qing's body, his expression became softer, he gently lifted Xiao Qing on his back, probably because the arc of his movement was too large, Xiao Qing's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his misty eyes to look at him , Lu Jinzhi said softly, "Go on to sleep", Xiao Qing closed his eyes again upon hearing this.
System: 【Looks like I made out the appearance of the host itself, and it's still very lethal! 】
From changing his appearance to the present, Xiao Qing has never known what he looks like at this time. Everything is guessed based on the description of the system, but the system has concealed a little from him, that is his current appearance, exactly what he looked like before wearing the book. own appearance.
Before transmigrating into the book, Xiao Qing was unanimously hailed by netizens as a rare beauty for thousands of years, which caused him to be named a vase without hesitation when he lost his temper. It is compared with the current most beautiful villain, and it is impossible to tell which is more beautiful.
It was completely different from Su Li's enchanting appearance, with a bit of icy abstinence, as clear and refined as a fairy, but because he was still young in the film and television industry, and his temperament and appearance were really bad It's a bit big, so it's more like a little "devil" king who is doing something wrong, and people want to torture him severely to see him crying and begging for mercy.
Therefore, because of this characteristic, many directors asked him to play the roles of some beautiful villains, in order to make the most touching plot of torturing the villain at the end.
A beauty, especially a kind-hearted femme fatale, is more beautiful the more she abuses her.
System: [Hey, I'm such a clever little ghost. 】
However, at this time Xiao Qing was completely unaware of the dangers of the outside world.
When we returned to the small village, dusk had just opened, and the sky was already getting brighter. The fog in the morning was heavier than that in the evening, and we could barely see a few feet in front of us as we walked.
Seeing that the sky was about to fully light up, Lu Jinzhi quickened his pace and rushed to A Yao's wooden house.
After walking for a while, I noticed something was wrong, it was too quiet, almost dead silent.Usually at this time, the rooster should also crow, but now there is no movement at all.
The road in front of him was shrouded in thick fog, and danger was hidden in the dark waiting for an opportunity. Lu Jinzhi didn't care about hesitation, and quickly ran towards A Yao's wooden house. Xiao Qing woke up from the jolt on his back and rubbed his sleepy eyes Sleepy eyes, confused: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jinzhi said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, something happened in the village."
When Xiao Qing woke up, he was stuck for a period of time. He didn't react for a while, and after a long while, the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
He also finally discovered that there was no trace of living things in this village.
Arriving at A Yao's wooden house, Lu Jinzhi put Xiao Qing down, kicked the closed door open, and strode into the house. After checking every room, he came down from the second floor: "No one, not even Mr. Grandma is gone too."
The food prepared last night was still well placed on the table, and it seemed that it had not been touched at all except for the two mouthfuls of rice that Xiao Qing ate before leaving, which should have happened not long after they left.
Because it was impossible for Xu Caiwang not to fill his stomach while it was hot, something must have happened to make him leave in a hurry before he had time to eat, and he was so urgent that he didn't even have time to leave a note.
There was no sign of a fight in the room, no matter how weak Xu Caiwang was, he could not be taken away without a trace, so there are many possible reasons for their disappearance.
Xiao Qing leaned against the door frame, bowed his head and chuckled: "If I stayed, and you came back and saw this scene, wouldn't you suspect that I did it?"
Lu Jinzhi walked out of the room and said, "No."
Xiao Qing was surprised for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Lu Jinzhi turned around and looked straight at Jin Xiao's eyes that looked like autumn water, and said, "I will find the evidence first, and then suspect you."
Xiao Qing smiled, and Lu Jinzhi said: "Let's go, first go to the city in front of the village to see if there are any clues."
"Can you still go?"
Xiao Qing was faking it before, the injury looked serious, but it wasn't enough to make people unable to stand up, and now that the sky is bright, it is even more impossible for him to let Lu Jinzhi continue to carry him on his back.
After saying "no problem", the two started again.Along the way, Lu Jinzhi checked all the houses he passed, and made sure that there were no living people, and the soldiers stationed here also disappeared without leaving any traces.
Xiao Qing passed a sealed jar, his eyes moved slightly, and he stopped and said, "There seem to be quite a lot of this kind of jar in front of Ah Yao's house. I remember this kind of jar, but I can't remember the specifics. Can you Can you open it up for me?"
Lu Jinzhi turned around and looked at it, and said: "This is a corpse jar. The southern barbarians sealed the corpse in the jar, filled it with corpse wax, sealed it and refined it with a secret method. After a few months, they can refine corpse gu. Help them Guard the house and plant."
Xiao Qing originally wanted to trick Lu Jinzhi into opening the corpse jar to frighten him, but he didn't think so, and restrained his disappointed expression, he said with emotion: "The southern barbarians revere the corpse, but also desecrate the corpse. It's really a contradictory race. .”
Lu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Maybe this is your country."
Testing him again.
Xiao Qing blinked innocently, and walked ahead first.
The guards of the Nanman Kingdom were not strict, and they were let into the city without much inspection.The architectural style here is very different from the outside. Due to the humid geography and the increasing number of snakes and insects, most people live in stilted buildings. If there are towering trees, they will directly dig a tree hole. The first and second floors are all in the trunk. inside.
The Nanman Kingdom has its own set of planting methods. Even if the trunks are hollowed out, these trees are still alive and vigorous.
A path was paved with vines all over the place, and residents coming and going wandered outside carrying baskets on their backs and hanging a few rags to barely cover the key parts.
Lu Jinzhi found a B&B for a temporary stay, paid the rent, and after greeting the hostess for a while, the hostess took them to the second floor to settle down.
The hostess is about 40 years old, warm and hospitable, the scattered clothes are well washed, and the hair is neatly coiled. She looks like a simple local.
The hostess kept asking them about their tastes and whether they had any special requirements for the accommodation environment. After arriving in the room, Xiao Qing understood why she was so enthusiastic.
There is no other reason, because they only have one room.
The hostess said: "Recently, many foreigners have come to the city, and many rooms have been booked out, and this is the only room left. The two young gentlemen can squeeze together."
The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched. This kind of inn that tells you that there is one room left after giving you money must be a beggar.
Lu Jinzhi said: "It's okay, let's just have one room, please trouble me to get some food, my friend has been driving for a day, and I'm so hungry."
After the hostess heard this "Sister", the smile on her face widened a bit: "It's been a long time since I've been called Sister, and everyone else calls me A Niang."
The hostess made the bed neatly, opened the window, and the room instantly brightened up. She sighed deeply, and said: "In our place, people's lifespan is short. Children in their teens look just like those in their twenties." Same, you may not believe it, but I am only 25 this year."
This...Xiao Qing really doesn't believe it.
The hostess continued: "Southern barbarians raise corpses and insects, and tormenting them will also be backlashed by themselves. Even if there are fewer people who raise them later, the ancestors still pass on the problem of short life. In the end, Yi Lao , short life, it has become a curse left in the blood of the southern barbarians."
Lu Jinzhi's thick eyelashes hung down, and the ponytail tied high behind his head followed the movement of his head down. His hair slid from his shoulders to the front of his body. He looked at the wooden board under his feet and pondered: "If this is the case, why is the Southern Border Kingdom Your ancestors still want to refine corpses and raise Gu?"
The hostess cleaned up the room, and said casually: "Who knows, I heard that they want to practice a longevity technique that can bring people back from the dead, and some people say that the secret techniques handed down from the Nanman Kingdom are all passed down by a left by the immortals there."
Xiao Qing's eyes moved slightly, and before he could ask carefully, the hostess opened the door and went out, leaving a sentence: "I'll go and bring food to the two young men, please sit down for a while."
After the hostess left, Xiao Qing stretched his waist and was about to lie down on the bed, but was grabbed by the collar of Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi said seriously: "It's so dirty, if you want to sleep, go take a bath first, and change your body clean clothes."
"Hey?" Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows angrily, "Why didn't I know you're still a smart guy!"
Lu Jinzhi: "Go take a bath."
At that moment, there was really an undeniable imperial demeanor.
Xiao Qing was also a fastidious person. He changed his clothes three times a day, smelled incense after taking a bath, and someone brought a cushion to cover every stool he sat on.But I don't know when, he was forced by the system, and gradually lost all his attention.
Now Lu Jinzhi taught him how to be particular?
Xiao Qing was so angry that his eyes turned black, but he resolutely refused to take a bath!
Just kidding, the system has said it all, don't pretend, it's easy for Lu Jinzhi to guess his real body with his changed appearance.
Unable to fall asleep, Xiao Qing went downstairs to the kitchen and saw the hostess coming out with fruit snacks, so he stepped forward to take the plate, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'll get it, you're busy with your work." go."
The hostess glanced upstairs, and laughed: "Are you arguing with that little gentleman?"
It seems that the soundproofing effect of this room is not good at all.
Xiao Qing's eyes were bent into a crescent shape. If his face wasn't covered with too much dirt, it would have been a lost smile, but once stained by dirt, he looked stupid. He said: "No matter, just talk about it every day."
The hostess patted him on the shoulder with a smile and went to work.
Xiao Qing hugged the plate and sat on the natural steps entwined with vines, slowly ate the fruit plate clean without leaving any for Lu Jinzhi, then rubbed his stuffed stomach, lay back on the ground, raised his hand to cover the bright Dazzling Sunshine said: "Actually, being a cannon fodder is pretty good."
The system continued: [Being cannon fodder has no future, I suggest the host to fight bravely towards the "heroine"! 】
Xiao Qing took the words of the system as fart.
Picking a leaf casually and putting it on his eyes, Xiao Qing yawned, wanting to bask in the sun and sleep for a while, but when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a sound of arguing, although it was far away, but due to the afternoon It was too quiet, causing the sound to be very abrupt.
Xiao Qing heard a few keywords such as "village", "missing", etc. He sat up and looked up, and saw several teenagers in green gauze clothes surrounding a dark-skinned runner asking questions.
Judging by the clothes, they should be the group of disciples who came out of the Shangqing Sect to practice.
A shadow covered him, Xiao Qing raised his head, and what he saw was a chin as firm as a knife, and eyelashes that looked very curly from bottom to top.
Lu Jinzhi stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and said, "Go and have a look."
When he got closer, he realized that there was a familiar one among the group of teenagers, and it was Fei Lin's young apprentice, Qu Zhou.
"You went to the village yesterday, and you were the only one who came out of that village, how could you not know what happened in the village?!"
The one who was talking was the little disciple next to Qu Zhou who seemed to have a bad temper. He was the one who had the loudest voice and the reddest face and neck. The quarrel was obviously a matter between two people, but he insisted on taking it all by himself. .
The skinny peddler who was surrounded in the middle couldn't explain why, and repeated with a bitter face: "I told you, I was fine when I left the village, so I don't know what happened."
"Hey, it's really unlucky. You should count your days when you go out. Sending some rice to sell also ran into such evil things."
Qu Zhou stopped the young man from speaking, and said softly, "Please think about it again, did you encounter any strange things before you left the village?"
The peddler scratched his head, and after thinking hard for a long time, he patted his forehead and suddenly said: "I don't know if this counts. When I left, the same strange thing happened in the houses where the goods were sold, that is, the livestock in the house suddenly It became sleepy, and when I left, the fog in that village seemed thicker than usual."
The young man who spoke first couldn't help but said, "What's so weird about this? People are sick at that time, let alone animals, and the fog gets thicker at night, isn't it a common thing."
The runner shook his hands and said, "Anyway, that's all I know, no matter how you ask, I still don't know what I don't know."
As soon as Lu Jinzhi showed up, Qu Zhou spotted him and greeted him with a smile: "Junior Brother Lu, we met again."
again?Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the two had bumped into each other more than once along the way.
Lu Jinzhi walked over and asked, "Could it be that you are also investigating the matter in the border village?"
"Well, some of my senior brothers disappeared in that village, so I asked someone to ask."
Except for Qu Zhou, the teenagers who were with Qu Zhou didn't have a good look at Lu Jinzhi's appearance, but that's true, there are only so many opportunities, and after finally bumping into them, they have to compete with someone who is obviously stronger than themselves. No one will have it good mood.
While the two of them were talking, the peddler picked up his pole and ran away quickly. Qu Zhou stopped the young man who wanted to chase, and said, "Don't chase, it seems that he doesn't know anything."
Qu Zhou glanced over Xiao Qing, and asked, "Where is Junior Brother Xu? Could it be that you are also separated?"
Lu Jinzhi said: "Zhou Wei was bitten by the yin worm. I went to find the snake gall and came back. Both he and Zhou Wei disappeared."
Qu Zhou laughed and said, "Junior brother Zhou is with me."
"This is also the reason why I got separated from several senior brothers. When we came out of the woods, it was already dark. We were bitten by insects and chased by corpses in the woods. When we came out of the woods, we wanted to find a place to stay, so we ran into the woods. Brother Xu from Shui, I heard that Junior Brother Zhou needs snake gall to detoxify, I was worried that I would not be able to get back after taking snake gall, so I carried Junior Brother Zhou on my back to get snake gall again."
"When I went back, the whole village was gone."
A disciple murmured, "If we hadn't rushed to save people, we wouldn't have been separated from our brothers and sisters."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a hoe passed by and squinted at them. The evil spirit between his brows was very strong, which was not at all different from the simple southern barbarians. When he spoke, the disciple quickly shut up.
The middle-aged man passed them and entered the private house where Lu Jinzhi stayed. It seemed that he should be the male owner of that house.
Qu Zhou came here earlier than them, and he knew more about the situation. After they walked away, he whispered to Lu Jinzhi: "There are many weird places in this country in southern Xinjiang. If you see something wrong, don't follow it. The people here mention it."
At this time, the sky was getting dark, the hostess came out of the house wiping her hands, and shouted to them from a distance: "Young gentlemen, come back for dinner soon, don't stand outside when it's dark."
As soon as her words fell, the surrounding houses lit up lights one after another, scorching the darkness into bright yellow holes, and the towering trees around were indistinct under the lights, like sprites with teeth and claws.
And the hostess stood under the bright candlelight at the door, her smile seemed stiff and far-fetched when looked at from a distance, and it seemed like a fake skin when it was against the light.
"Let's go, I'm starving to death." Xiao Qing seemed unaware of the changes in the surrounding environment, and pulled Lu Jinzhi to take the lead.
After entering the house, the hostess also put the last few dishes on the table, and greeted them: "I don't know if it suits your tastes, but they are all special dishes from our side."
Coincidentally, the other group of people in this room was Qu Zhou and the others, and Qu Zhou and the others sat down immediately afterward, asking, "Why didn't you see the host?"
The hostess lifted the lid of the dish and smiled at them plainly: "You said Lao Sa, he is tired after going to the ground and is resting in the house."
And the moment the hostess lifted the lid, everyone froze.
The other dishes were normal, but this one was covered with a lid, and the fried food in it was actually a living poisonous scorpion mixed with some unknown things.
Xiao Qing felt his stomach acid was stimulated by nausea.
The others were not much better, their faces were bruised and their scalps were numb, and a few disciples who lacked concentration felt a little gagged.
And they obviously resisted. The hostess seemed unaware, and still greeted: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold, so I just made some casually, and I will make more big dishes for you tomorrow."
After the hostess finished speaking, she picked up the chopsticks, reached out and picked up a scorpion tail, and started to eat it, which seemed delicious.
There was not much reaction on Lu Jinzhi's face when he was present, he smiled slightly, took a plate of small vegetables next to him to eat, and after swallowing the food, he smiled at the hostess: "The taste is very good, thank you for the hospitality."
The smile on the hostess's face widened a bit, and she became more enthusiastic: "Eat more if you like, we don't have much else, just have as many fruits and vegetables as you want."
With Lu Jinzhi at the beginning, Qu Zhou and others also picked up chopsticks one after another, but they all agreed tacitly and didn't touch the feast of poisonous scorpions, but Xiao Qing couldn't eat it anyway.
When he remembered that these dishes were all fried in the same pot that had fried scorpions, he felt sick, and his stomach acid surged up.
Xiao Qing made an excuse: "The little brother who was bitten by the bug is up there, right? I'll go and see him."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to respond, he stood up and went upstairs.
The upper floor has a large space, and there are several suites connected to each other. The owner's house is the outermost one, and the inner rooms are used to entertain guests.Judging from the layout, the hostess is a very tidy person, and likes to raise some flowers and plants. The walkway is covered with beautiful wisteria flowers, which makes the whole room have a special flavor.
As soon as he went upstairs, Xiao Qing heard a very slight sound of sawing wood. It is estimated that the master is doing carpentry, but it is strange, why does he not do it outside, but does it in the room?
Following the sound, Xiao Qing found the room where the male host was, gently opened a crack in the door, and looked in. Sure enough, he saw that he was stepping on a white stick-shaped object and was cutting it with a saw. Xiao Qing looked carefully for a while, Seeing nothing unusual, he turned and left.
Finding Zhou Wei's room, Xiao Qing opened the door and went in, lit the candlestick, turned around and saw Zhou Wei lying on the bed with a pale complexion, sweat dripping from his forehead, biting his lower lip, as if he was having a nightmare.
Xiao Qing walked over and gently loosened his grip on the quilt, recited the Duan Qingxin mantra in a low voice, and saw his frown slowly unfold before returning out of the room.
Zhou Wei is out of danger, and he can wake up only after the snake's gallbladder acts as a medicine to dissolve the insect poison.
Xiao Qing went back to his room and stayed up all night. He had no energy in his body after running around for so long, but remembering that Lu Jin thought he was dirty and refused to allow him to sleep on the bed, he endured it and laid a cotton blanket on the corner of the wall as a floor. .
The system wondered: [Host, isn't this your character? 】
Xiao Qing took off his dirty and torn coat and threw it aside, raised his brows slightly: "What is not my character?" After he finished speaking, he was stunned by the system, and lay down on the bed: "I was for Lu Jinzhi. , do you think I'm someone who can sleep on the ground? And I definitely won't sleep in the same bed as Lu Jinzhi."
The system doggedly said: [Anyway, it's not like I haven't slept. 】
Xiao Qing covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and ignored it.
It is impossible to sleep on the floor, even if he is kept from sleeping for eight lifetimes, it is impossible for him to sleep on the floor.
When he was drowsily asleep, Xiao Qing smelled a scent. He shrugged his nose, sat up with his eyes closed, and groped for the place where the scent came from. Had to open my eyes and wake up.
Into the eyes is a section of snow-white skirt, and further up, is a handsome and stunning face.
Xiao Qing rubbed his painful forehead and muttered, "Are you pectoral muscles made of stone?"
Lu Jinzhi ignored his muttering, and put the plate on the small case beside it, which contained four or five clear soups and side dishes, and a bowl of rice.
Lu Jinzhi handed him the rice bowl together with the chopsticks, and said, "I made these, aren't you hungry, eat quickly."
Xiao Qing took the bowl hesitantly, wondering why Lu Jinzhi was suddenly kind.Lu Jinzhi glanced at him and said, "No poison, don't worry."
Xiao Qing raised his head, grinned at him and said, "How could I doubt you? You saved me in the forest before. Even if you poisoned me, I would eat it without hesitation."
Lu Jinzhi looked at him with a look of "eat and shut up", obviously not believing his nonsense.
Xiao Qing's self-cultivation is particularly good. He was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, his parents are celebrities, and his etiquette and upbringing follow the aristocratic way, so even though he is very hungry now, he still eats slowly, chewing slowly, adhering to the principle of eating Don't speak, sleep without speaking.
But unfortunately, he soon regretted his actions.
There was the sound of swords and swords colliding downstairs, Lu Jinzhi immediately took the sword and went downstairs, Xiao Qing looked outside the door, then at the rice that he had just eaten, closed his eyes, and slammed into his mouth After stuffing two mouthfuls full, he also went downstairs with puffed cheeks.
System: [...too miserable. 】
Xiao Qing regrets it now, regrets it very much, why was he so reserved just now?
The author has something to say: I thought that no one would remind me to update, so I was too excited to see the reminder.
Tell the newcomers, I usually update at nine o'clock in the evening, very punctual~
-Thanks to the little angels who voted for me to overlord or irrigate nutrient solution~
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated [nutrient solution]:
20 bottles of leisure chess pieces; 6 bottles of Ayang's sweet candy; 2 bottles of Li Suirong and Xiaobaimu;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The huge snake body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky.
The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched with sarcasm, and slowly opened his eyes. The snake's head was split by the arrow, and blood splashed on Xiao Qing's face. It was bright red, and it looked enchanting and ghostly in the gray mist.
However, the evil spirit only vented for a moment, and soon Xiao Qing adjusted his expression and looked at Lu Jinzhi in a daze. He tried to stand up, but fell to the ground in vain, causing the casually tied ponytail to fall loose.
But at this moment, Xiao Dump noticed one thing, he lighted realgar incense and the little snakes didn't dare to get close to him. It's reasonable, but why, those little snakes didn't dare to get close to Lu Jinzhi?
Lu Jinzhi quickly stepped forward to help him up, and asked with a worried face, "Are you hurt?"
It was clear that he set the boa constrictor on purpose to attack Xiao Qing, and now that he is still acting like this, Xiao Qing said in his heart that his acting skills are good, and he also began to compete with him in acting skills.
"I'm fine, but I can't stand up all the time." Xiao Qing hissed in pain as soon as he moved his foot, his eyes showed a little weakness, and he said with a bitter face: "Young master, can you help me? "
"Let me take a look." Lu Jinzhi held him down, lifted his clothes and squatted down, grabbed his ankles, and said, "It doesn't seem like a bone?"
Xiao Qing lowered his eyelashes and bit his lower lip: "When I rolled down all the way just now, I knocked on my foot bones."
Hearing this, Lu Jinzhi rolled up the trousers under his clothes, and saw that the tender skin was covered with bruises and bruises, so he took out the liquid medicine and carefully applied it on the wound: "Let's make it up for now."
After hastily dealt with it, Lu Jinzhi stood up and walked towards the giant python that fell on the ground, took out a dagger and scraped off the scales, then pulled the snake guts out abruptly.
The snake gall was as big as several people's heads, Lu Jinzhi put it in the Qiankun bag, washed his hands with the water he carried, and then turned to Xiao Qing.
"You can go back, when you still recognize it..."
Lu Jinzhi's voice stopped in his mouth, he stepped lightly, and walked over. Xiao Qing leaned against the tree trunk and fell into a deep sleep. His long eyelashes fell on his eyelids, like the wings of a butterfly, and his face was wiped with white jade. The filth and filth made his original fair and smooth skin even more apparent.
He probably fell asleep for a while, his bright red mouth was slightly opened, and there were still some suspicious water marks on the corner of his mouth.
It was only then that Lu Jinzhi remembered that Mr. Lang didn't seem to have eaten yet. With a mortal body, he must be famished after running around for so long.
Lu Jinzhi took off his robe and put it on Xiao Qing's body, his expression became softer, he gently lifted Xiao Qing on his back, probably because the arc of his movement was too large, Xiao Qing's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his misty eyes to look at him , Lu Jinzhi said softly, "Go on to sleep", Xiao Qing closed his eyes again upon hearing this.
System: 【Looks like I made out the appearance of the host itself, and it's still very lethal! 】
From changing his appearance to the present, Xiao Qing has never known what he looks like at this time. Everything is guessed based on the description of the system, but the system has concealed a little from him, that is his current appearance, exactly what he looked like before wearing the book. own appearance.
Before transmigrating into the book, Xiao Qing was unanimously hailed by netizens as a rare beauty for thousands of years, which caused him to be named a vase without hesitation when he lost his temper. It is compared with the current most beautiful villain, and it is impossible to tell which is more beautiful.
It was completely different from Su Li's enchanting appearance, with a bit of icy abstinence, as clear and refined as a fairy, but because he was still young in the film and television industry, and his temperament and appearance were really bad It's a bit big, so it's more like a little "devil" king who is doing something wrong, and people want to torture him severely to see him crying and begging for mercy.
Therefore, because of this characteristic, many directors asked him to play the roles of some beautiful villains, in order to make the most touching plot of torturing the villain at the end.
A beauty, especially a kind-hearted femme fatale, is more beautiful the more she abuses her.
System: [Hey, I'm such a clever little ghost. 】
However, at this time Xiao Qing was completely unaware of the dangers of the outside world.
When we returned to the small village, dusk had just opened, and the sky was already getting brighter. The fog in the morning was heavier than that in the evening, and we could barely see a few feet in front of us as we walked.
Seeing that the sky was about to fully light up, Lu Jinzhi quickened his pace and rushed to A Yao's wooden house.
After walking for a while, I noticed something was wrong, it was too quiet, almost dead silent.Usually at this time, the rooster should also crow, but now there is no movement at all.
The road in front of him was shrouded in thick fog, and danger was hidden in the dark waiting for an opportunity. Lu Jinzhi didn't care about hesitation, and quickly ran towards A Yao's wooden house. Xiao Qing woke up from the jolt on his back and rubbed his sleepy eyes Sleepy eyes, confused: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jinzhi said in a deep voice: "Something is wrong, something happened in the village."
When Xiao Qing woke up, he was stuck for a period of time. He didn't react for a while, and after a long while, the confusion in his eyes disappeared.
He also finally discovered that there was no trace of living things in this village.
Arriving at A Yao's wooden house, Lu Jinzhi put Xiao Qing down, kicked the closed door open, and strode into the house. After checking every room, he came down from the second floor: "No one, not even Mr. Grandma is gone too."
The food prepared last night was still well placed on the table, and it seemed that it had not been touched at all except for the two mouthfuls of rice that Xiao Qing ate before leaving, which should have happened not long after they left.
Because it was impossible for Xu Caiwang not to fill his stomach while it was hot, something must have happened to make him leave in a hurry before he had time to eat, and he was so urgent that he didn't even have time to leave a note.
There was no sign of a fight in the room, no matter how weak Xu Caiwang was, he could not be taken away without a trace, so there are many possible reasons for their disappearance.
Xiao Qing leaned against the door frame, bowed his head and chuckled: "If I stayed, and you came back and saw this scene, wouldn't you suspect that I did it?"
Lu Jinzhi walked out of the room and said, "No."
Xiao Qing was surprised for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
Lu Jinzhi turned around and looked straight at Jin Xiao's eyes that looked like autumn water, and said, "I will find the evidence first, and then suspect you."
Xiao Qing smiled, and Lu Jinzhi said: "Let's go, first go to the city in front of the village to see if there are any clues."
"Can you still go?"
Xiao Qing was faking it before, the injury looked serious, but it wasn't enough to make people unable to stand up, and now that the sky is bright, it is even more impossible for him to let Lu Jinzhi continue to carry him on his back.
After saying "no problem", the two started again.Along the way, Lu Jinzhi checked all the houses he passed, and made sure that there were no living people, and the soldiers stationed here also disappeared without leaving any traces.
Xiao Qing passed a sealed jar, his eyes moved slightly, and he stopped and said, "There seem to be quite a lot of this kind of jar in front of Ah Yao's house. I remember this kind of jar, but I can't remember the specifics. Can you Can you open it up for me?"
Lu Jinzhi turned around and looked at it, and said: "This is a corpse jar. The southern barbarians sealed the corpse in the jar, filled it with corpse wax, sealed it and refined it with a secret method. After a few months, they can refine corpse gu. Help them Guard the house and plant."
Xiao Qing originally wanted to trick Lu Jinzhi into opening the corpse jar to frighten him, but he didn't think so, and restrained his disappointed expression, he said with emotion: "The southern barbarians revere the corpse, but also desecrate the corpse. It's really a contradictory race. .”
Lu Jinzhi smiled and said, "Maybe this is your country."
Testing him again.
Xiao Qing blinked innocently, and walked ahead first.
The guards of the Nanman Kingdom were not strict, and they were let into the city without much inspection.The architectural style here is very different from the outside. Due to the humid geography and the increasing number of snakes and insects, most people live in stilted buildings. If there are towering trees, they will directly dig a tree hole. The first and second floors are all in the trunk. inside.
The Nanman Kingdom has its own set of planting methods. Even if the trunks are hollowed out, these trees are still alive and vigorous.
A path was paved with vines all over the place, and residents coming and going wandered outside carrying baskets on their backs and hanging a few rags to barely cover the key parts.
Lu Jinzhi found a B&B for a temporary stay, paid the rent, and after greeting the hostess for a while, the hostess took them to the second floor to settle down.
The hostess is about 40 years old, warm and hospitable, the scattered clothes are well washed, and the hair is neatly coiled. She looks like a simple local.
The hostess kept asking them about their tastes and whether they had any special requirements for the accommodation environment. After arriving in the room, Xiao Qing understood why she was so enthusiastic.
There is no other reason, because they only have one room.
The hostess said: "Recently, many foreigners have come to the city, and many rooms have been booked out, and this is the only room left. The two young gentlemen can squeeze together."
The corner of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched. This kind of inn that tells you that there is one room left after giving you money must be a beggar.
Lu Jinzhi said: "It's okay, let's just have one room, please trouble me to get some food, my friend has been driving for a day, and I'm so hungry."
After the hostess heard this "Sister", the smile on her face widened a bit: "It's been a long time since I've been called Sister, and everyone else calls me A Niang."
The hostess made the bed neatly, opened the window, and the room instantly brightened up. She sighed deeply, and said: "In our place, people's lifespan is short. Children in their teens look just like those in their twenties." Same, you may not believe it, but I am only 25 this year."
This...Xiao Qing really doesn't believe it.
The hostess continued: "Southern barbarians raise corpses and insects, and tormenting them will also be backlashed by themselves. Even if there are fewer people who raise them later, the ancestors still pass on the problem of short life. In the end, Yi Lao , short life, it has become a curse left in the blood of the southern barbarians."
Lu Jinzhi's thick eyelashes hung down, and the ponytail tied high behind his head followed the movement of his head down. His hair slid from his shoulders to the front of his body. He looked at the wooden board under his feet and pondered: "If this is the case, why is the Southern Border Kingdom Your ancestors still want to refine corpses and raise Gu?"
The hostess cleaned up the room, and said casually: "Who knows, I heard that they want to practice a longevity technique that can bring people back from the dead, and some people say that the secret techniques handed down from the Nanman Kingdom are all passed down by a left by the immortals there."
Xiao Qing's eyes moved slightly, and before he could ask carefully, the hostess opened the door and went out, leaving a sentence: "I'll go and bring food to the two young men, please sit down for a while."
After the hostess left, Xiao Qing stretched his waist and was about to lie down on the bed, but was grabbed by the collar of Lu Jinzhi. Lu Jinzhi said seriously: "It's so dirty, if you want to sleep, go take a bath first, and change your body clean clothes."
"Hey?" Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows angrily, "Why didn't I know you're still a smart guy!"
Lu Jinzhi: "Go take a bath."
At that moment, there was really an undeniable imperial demeanor.
Xiao Qing was also a fastidious person. He changed his clothes three times a day, smelled incense after taking a bath, and someone brought a cushion to cover every stool he sat on.But I don't know when, he was forced by the system, and gradually lost all his attention.
Now Lu Jinzhi taught him how to be particular?
Xiao Qing was so angry that his eyes turned black, but he resolutely refused to take a bath!
Just kidding, the system has said it all, don't pretend, it's easy for Lu Jinzhi to guess his real body with his changed appearance.
Unable to fall asleep, Xiao Qing went downstairs to the kitchen and saw the hostess coming out with fruit snacks, so he stepped forward to take the plate, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'll get it, you're busy with your work." go."
The hostess glanced upstairs, and laughed: "Are you arguing with that little gentleman?"
It seems that the soundproofing effect of this room is not good at all.
Xiao Qing's eyes were bent into a crescent shape. If his face wasn't covered with too much dirt, it would have been a lost smile, but once stained by dirt, he looked stupid. He said: "No matter, just talk about it every day."
The hostess patted him on the shoulder with a smile and went to work.
Xiao Qing hugged the plate and sat on the natural steps entwined with vines, slowly ate the fruit plate clean without leaving any for Lu Jinzhi, then rubbed his stuffed stomach, lay back on the ground, raised his hand to cover the bright Dazzling Sunshine said: "Actually, being a cannon fodder is pretty good."
The system continued: [Being cannon fodder has no future, I suggest the host to fight bravely towards the "heroine"! 】
Xiao Qing took the words of the system as fart.
Picking a leaf casually and putting it on his eyes, Xiao Qing yawned, wanting to bask in the sun and sleep for a while, but when he was about to fall asleep, he heard a sound of arguing, although it was far away, but due to the afternoon It was too quiet, causing the sound to be very abrupt.
Xiao Qing heard a few keywords such as "village", "missing", etc. He sat up and looked up, and saw several teenagers in green gauze clothes surrounding a dark-skinned runner asking questions.
Judging by the clothes, they should be the group of disciples who came out of the Shangqing Sect to practice.
A shadow covered him, Xiao Qing raised his head, and what he saw was a chin as firm as a knife, and eyelashes that looked very curly from bottom to top.
Lu Jinzhi stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and said, "Go and have a look."
When he got closer, he realized that there was a familiar one among the group of teenagers, and it was Fei Lin's young apprentice, Qu Zhou.
"You went to the village yesterday, and you were the only one who came out of that village, how could you not know what happened in the village?!"
The one who was talking was the little disciple next to Qu Zhou who seemed to have a bad temper. He was the one who had the loudest voice and the reddest face and neck. The quarrel was obviously a matter between two people, but he insisted on taking it all by himself. .
The skinny peddler who was surrounded in the middle couldn't explain why, and repeated with a bitter face: "I told you, I was fine when I left the village, so I don't know what happened."
"Hey, it's really unlucky. You should count your days when you go out. Sending some rice to sell also ran into such evil things."
Qu Zhou stopped the young man from speaking, and said softly, "Please think about it again, did you encounter any strange things before you left the village?"
The peddler scratched his head, and after thinking hard for a long time, he patted his forehead and suddenly said: "I don't know if this counts. When I left, the same strange thing happened in the houses where the goods were sold, that is, the livestock in the house suddenly It became sleepy, and when I left, the fog in that village seemed thicker than usual."
The young man who spoke first couldn't help but said, "What's so weird about this? People are sick at that time, let alone animals, and the fog gets thicker at night, isn't it a common thing."
The runner shook his hands and said, "Anyway, that's all I know, no matter how you ask, I still don't know what I don't know."
As soon as Lu Jinzhi showed up, Qu Zhou spotted him and greeted him with a smile: "Junior Brother Lu, we met again."
again?Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the two had bumped into each other more than once along the way.
Lu Jinzhi walked over and asked, "Could it be that you are also investigating the matter in the border village?"
"Well, some of my senior brothers disappeared in that village, so I asked someone to ask."
Except for Qu Zhou, the teenagers who were with Qu Zhou didn't have a good look at Lu Jinzhi's appearance, but that's true, there are only so many opportunities, and after finally bumping into them, they have to compete with someone who is obviously stronger than themselves. No one will have it good mood.
While the two of them were talking, the peddler picked up his pole and ran away quickly. Qu Zhou stopped the young man who wanted to chase, and said, "Don't chase, it seems that he doesn't know anything."
Qu Zhou glanced over Xiao Qing, and asked, "Where is Junior Brother Xu? Could it be that you are also separated?"
Lu Jinzhi said: "Zhou Wei was bitten by the yin worm. I went to find the snake gall and came back. Both he and Zhou Wei disappeared."
Qu Zhou laughed and said, "Junior brother Zhou is with me."
"This is also the reason why I got separated from several senior brothers. When we came out of the woods, it was already dark. We were bitten by insects and chased by corpses in the woods. When we came out of the woods, we wanted to find a place to stay, so we ran into the woods. Brother Xu from Shui, I heard that Junior Brother Zhou needs snake gall to detoxify, I was worried that I would not be able to get back after taking snake gall, so I carried Junior Brother Zhou on my back to get snake gall again."
"When I went back, the whole village was gone."
A disciple murmured, "If we hadn't rushed to save people, we wouldn't have been separated from our brothers and sisters."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a hoe passed by and squinted at them. The evil spirit between his brows was very strong, which was not at all different from the simple southern barbarians. When he spoke, the disciple quickly shut up.
The middle-aged man passed them and entered the private house where Lu Jinzhi stayed. It seemed that he should be the male owner of that house.
Qu Zhou came here earlier than them, and he knew more about the situation. After they walked away, he whispered to Lu Jinzhi: "There are many weird places in this country in southern Xinjiang. If you see something wrong, don't follow it. The people here mention it."
At this time, the sky was getting dark, the hostess came out of the house wiping her hands, and shouted to them from a distance: "Young gentlemen, come back for dinner soon, don't stand outside when it's dark."
As soon as her words fell, the surrounding houses lit up lights one after another, scorching the darkness into bright yellow holes, and the towering trees around were indistinct under the lights, like sprites with teeth and claws.
And the hostess stood under the bright candlelight at the door, her smile seemed stiff and far-fetched when looked at from a distance, and it seemed like a fake skin when it was against the light.
"Let's go, I'm starving to death." Xiao Qing seemed unaware of the changes in the surrounding environment, and pulled Lu Jinzhi to take the lead.
After entering the house, the hostess also put the last few dishes on the table, and greeted them: "I don't know if it suits your tastes, but they are all special dishes from our side."
Coincidentally, the other group of people in this room was Qu Zhou and the others, and Qu Zhou and the others sat down immediately afterward, asking, "Why didn't you see the host?"
The hostess lifted the lid of the dish and smiled at them plainly: "You said Lao Sa, he is tired after going to the ground and is resting in the house."
And the moment the hostess lifted the lid, everyone froze.
The other dishes were normal, but this one was covered with a lid, and the fried food in it was actually a living poisonous scorpion mixed with some unknown things.
Xiao Qing felt his stomach acid was stimulated by nausea.
The others were not much better, their faces were bruised and their scalps were numb, and a few disciples who lacked concentration felt a little gagged.
And they obviously resisted. The hostess seemed unaware, and still greeted: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold, so I just made some casually, and I will make more big dishes for you tomorrow."
After the hostess finished speaking, she picked up the chopsticks, reached out and picked up a scorpion tail, and started to eat it, which seemed delicious.
There was not much reaction on Lu Jinzhi's face when he was present, he smiled slightly, took a plate of small vegetables next to him to eat, and after swallowing the food, he smiled at the hostess: "The taste is very good, thank you for the hospitality."
The smile on the hostess's face widened a bit, and she became more enthusiastic: "Eat more if you like, we don't have much else, just have as many fruits and vegetables as you want."
With Lu Jinzhi at the beginning, Qu Zhou and others also picked up chopsticks one after another, but they all agreed tacitly and didn't touch the feast of poisonous scorpions, but Xiao Qing couldn't eat it anyway.
When he remembered that these dishes were all fried in the same pot that had fried scorpions, he felt sick, and his stomach acid surged up.
Xiao Qing made an excuse: "The little brother who was bitten by the bug is up there, right? I'll go and see him."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to respond, he stood up and went upstairs.
The upper floor has a large space, and there are several suites connected to each other. The owner's house is the outermost one, and the inner rooms are used to entertain guests.Judging from the layout, the hostess is a very tidy person, and likes to raise some flowers and plants. The walkway is covered with beautiful wisteria flowers, which makes the whole room have a special flavor.
As soon as he went upstairs, Xiao Qing heard a very slight sound of sawing wood. It is estimated that the master is doing carpentry, but it is strange, why does he not do it outside, but does it in the room?
Following the sound, Xiao Qing found the room where the male host was, gently opened a crack in the door, and looked in. Sure enough, he saw that he was stepping on a white stick-shaped object and was cutting it with a saw. Xiao Qing looked carefully for a while, Seeing nothing unusual, he turned and left.
Finding Zhou Wei's room, Xiao Qing opened the door and went in, lit the candlestick, turned around and saw Zhou Wei lying on the bed with a pale complexion, sweat dripping from his forehead, biting his lower lip, as if he was having a nightmare.
Xiao Qing walked over and gently loosened his grip on the quilt, recited the Duan Qingxin mantra in a low voice, and saw his frown slowly unfold before returning out of the room.
Zhou Wei is out of danger, and he can wake up only after the snake's gallbladder acts as a medicine to dissolve the insect poison.
Xiao Qing went back to his room and stayed up all night. He had no energy in his body after running around for so long, but remembering that Lu Jin thought he was dirty and refused to allow him to sleep on the bed, he endured it and laid a cotton blanket on the corner of the wall as a floor. .
The system wondered: [Host, isn't this your character? 】
Xiao Qing took off his dirty and torn coat and threw it aside, raised his brows slightly: "What is not my character?" After he finished speaking, he was stunned by the system, and lay down on the bed: "I was for Lu Jinzhi. , do you think I'm someone who can sleep on the ground? And I definitely won't sleep in the same bed as Lu Jinzhi."
The system doggedly said: [Anyway, it's not like I haven't slept. 】
Xiao Qing covered the quilt, closed his eyes, and ignored it.
It is impossible to sleep on the floor, even if he is kept from sleeping for eight lifetimes, it is impossible for him to sleep on the floor.
When he was drowsily asleep, Xiao Qing smelled a scent. He shrugged his nose, sat up with his eyes closed, and groped for the place where the scent came from. Had to open my eyes and wake up.
Into the eyes is a section of snow-white skirt, and further up, is a handsome and stunning face.
Xiao Qing rubbed his painful forehead and muttered, "Are you pectoral muscles made of stone?"
Lu Jinzhi ignored his muttering, and put the plate on the small case beside it, which contained four or five clear soups and side dishes, and a bowl of rice.
Lu Jinzhi handed him the rice bowl together with the chopsticks, and said, "I made these, aren't you hungry, eat quickly."
Xiao Qing took the bowl hesitantly, wondering why Lu Jinzhi was suddenly kind.Lu Jinzhi glanced at him and said, "No poison, don't worry."
Xiao Qing raised his head, grinned at him and said, "How could I doubt you? You saved me in the forest before. Even if you poisoned me, I would eat it without hesitation."
Lu Jinzhi looked at him with a look of "eat and shut up", obviously not believing his nonsense.
Xiao Qing's self-cultivation is particularly good. He was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, his parents are celebrities, and his etiquette and upbringing follow the aristocratic way, so even though he is very hungry now, he still eats slowly, chewing slowly, adhering to the principle of eating Don't speak, sleep without speaking.
But unfortunately, he soon regretted his actions.
There was the sound of swords and swords colliding downstairs, Lu Jinzhi immediately took the sword and went downstairs, Xiao Qing looked outside the door, then at the rice that he had just eaten, closed his eyes, and slammed into his mouth After stuffing two mouthfuls full, he also went downstairs with puffed cheeks.
System: [...too miserable. 】
Xiao Qing regrets it now, regrets it very much, why was he so reserved just now?
The author has something to say: I thought that no one would remind me to update, so I was too excited to see the reminder.
