The old man was really angry, and the resentful gaze seemed to melt into substance, even affecting the surrounding environment.
It was noon at this time, when the sun was supposed to be shining brightly, but a thin layer of mist quietly floated up and diffused in the dungeon world, surrounding the mountains and rivers.
Xiangnu looked up at the sky, looked at the old man again, and asked, "Master, besides you accepting us as teachers, is there any other ceremony today? If not, can we break up?"
The old man smiled Yin Jiejie: "Separate? You can't disperse now, there is still a ceremony that has not been completed. Disciples, you are still too young so you don't know the past. Just ten years ago, there was a famine in our village, and every family They are sallow and emaciated from hunger all year round. It's poor. They all respect their teachers and are grateful for them. Every year when recruiting apprentices, they will kill a "sheep" to share food with the villagers. It's just a pity that there is not enough materials this year. But this project has been going on for many years, and it has become a practice in the village, and it cannot be abolished this year."
The old man glanced at Shu Jian abruptly, and this simple young man turned pale. Although the old man didn't say anything, he immediately understood what the old man meant.
If yes, the 'sheep' in the old man's mouth...is he
Xiangnu nodded knowingly, and smiled slightly, but the smile did not touch his eyes, and his narrow eyes were full of coldness: "Since there are not enough materials, Master should hurry up and prepare the materials, and the disciples will not bother you."
The old man looked at him expressionlessly, his wrinkles were as deep as the bark of an old tree root, and he was rigid and gloomy: "As the most talented disciple of the teacher, you will inherit the mantle of the master in the future. Don't you help me as a teacher?"
Xiangnu said softly: "But this is the master's wish for the villagers. Can the disciple do it for him?"
The old man twisted his face and smiled viciously, stood up and patted Xiangnu's not-so-broad shoulder heavily: "Okay, why not! You are the most proud disciple of my teacher, and I wish everyone would trust you as much as they trust me." Normally, the preparation of the 'sheep' is left to you, you have to work hard, the whole goat banquet starts at Xu time, and it is Si time now, and there are four more hours for you to prepare."
"Little Yaoer, the whole sheep banquet only happens once a year. Everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time. You must let the villagers eat the delicious food of the whole sheep banquet in their memory. If everyone fails to taste the taste of the memory..."
The old man smiled coldly, before he finished speaking, the malice in his eyes was obvious.
The worst result is that Xiangnu will become the 'sheep' instead, and let everyone have a taste.
Xiangnu looked at him expressionlessly, and said to the taskers: "Master, don't worry, the disciples will definitely prepare well. The brothers just have nothing to do, so the master will lend them to me. The brothers have no objection." Bar?"
Everyone shook their heads, and Xiangnu deliberately said to the old man: "Master, then I will take my seniors away, don't worry, I will take my seniors to show up at the Quanyang Banquet on time before Xu time."
The old man's face became a little more gloomy, his chest heaved violently, and he seemed to be confused by anger.
The old man said lightly: "It's ok... By the way, you have lunch at noon, don't delay outside for too long, and remember to come back on time."
Xiangnu refused with a smile: "No master, we still want to save our stomachs to eat roasted whole lamb at night, so let's not eat at noon."
The old man's face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Xiang Nu's head tilted, and he said innocently: "Besides, I didn't complete the task assigned by Master, and my apprentice didn't have the heart to do other things. Master only gave me Four hours, disciples may not be able to find the 'sheep' in these four hours, eating is a waste of half an hour, so forget it."
The old man smiled treacherously: "Don't be afraid, master is just testing your other abilities, eat lunch obediently, if you really can't find the 'sheep', then master, I will take out my kiln storage for the villagers to use. "
"You are the master's proud disciple," the old man gritted his teeth and said, "If you starve yourself to death, the master will feel distressed, and the master will not help you deal with the aftermath."
"Thank you, master, for your kindness, but I want to prove my ability more." Xiangnu was impatient to continue talking nonsense with the old man, and said coldly: "Senior brothers and sisters, what are you doing standing there, let's go."
After Xiangnu finished speaking, he turned around and left. Miao Dong and the others looked at the gloomy old man, but they didn't dare to speak, but followed Xiangnu honestly and left.
Xiangnu is going to the west mountain. When we went to cut the yarrow before, everyone discussed what will happen in the west mountain. It happened to go to the west mountain to have a look at this moment.
After leaving the old man's sight, Shu Jian immediately showed a grateful expression, looking like he was about to cry: "Little brother, thank you, thank you so much, if you didn't show up to stop me just now, I feel like I might not be here now." gone."
Xiangnu showed a gentle smile, and said softly, "Third senior brother, you are too polite, we are companions, and we should help each other."
It's just that he is not a kind person by nature, and Shu Jian is not at the point where he should dedicate himself to acting, so although he smiles, the smile is not as deep as his eyes, and the charming face and narrow eyes always give people A feeling of mocking disdain.
But Shu Jian didn't care, Xiangnu's nature didn't matter, he didn't care whether it was hot or cold, as long as he knew that Xiangnu would save him and save his life at critical moments.
Ding Zeming couldn't help sighing at the moment: "Actually, I also thought of the method of stuffing things into the master and making my 'divination' safe, but I didn't dare to do it. Little brother, you are not afraid of what the master said at the time. Did you suddenly turn your back on it?"
Xiangnu is not afraid, he is not afraid of death again, the last dungeon he wanted to pass the dungeon and survive was because he wanted to exchange for rewards to restore the light, just take a serious look at the world.
There is madness in his bones.
But this doesn't mean that Xiangnu is really messing around and fighting the dungeon boss because he is not afraid of death.
Xiangnu is confident, he asked calmly: "The purpose of our missions is to find the weakness of monsters and seal them, not really to let us be food for monsters. If that is the case, there is no It takes so much effort to package and reward us. After we enter the dungeon, the dungeon or the central hall has restrictions on monsters. Monsters cannot directly kill us. If they want to kill us, they must meet certain requirements. conditions, am I right?"
Ding Zeming was silent for a moment, then nodded in recognition.
Xiangnu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and continued to ask: "Then let me ask you, Senior Brother Six, what do you think is the condition for Master to kill us just now?"
Ding Zeming was silent for two seconds, and sighed: "The divination is wrong. Master's words are very clear. He heard that our talent is comparable to that of our uncle, so he accepted us as apprentices. And he was defeated by his uncle. , so he took a small problem to try our divination skills. If we fail even this small problem, it will prove that we are Lang's name, and he will kill us... "
Xiangnu nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, the condition for his killing should be that our divination result was wrong, but our final result was correct. Does it matter what method we use? We force him to drink porridge, and he must hate us very much. But we haven't touched his killing conditions, no matter how much he hates us, he can't do it directly, there is no doubt about it. After confirming this point, why don't we dare to do it?"
It was right for a few people to think about it, and they all sighed softly. Although they could understand it, at that time, not everyone could make up their minds to do it.
Jiang Chao may have stuttered and seldom spoke, but his words hit the nail on the head, and the question was very sharp: "Just now, why did you say, don't you eat lunch?"
Xiangnu tilted his head on purpose, blinked slyly, and teased, "Guess?"
The crowd really didn't have a clue, they could see that the old man's proposal had bad intentions, but for a while they couldn't figure out where the bad intentions were.
Xiangnu looked at a few people, and saw that their expressions were blank and genuine, and he smiled slightly with the corners of his lips raised, and only said one sentence: "Have you forgotten the Mongolian sweat medicine treasured by the big brother..."
If the old man sprinkled the sweat medicine into the pot at noon, it would really be unlucky for a few people to fall asleep.
For the first time, when everyone didn't know that it was Mongolian sweat medicine, it was fine that the old man couldn't directly kill people.
Now the taskers have clearly learned of the existence of Mongolian sweat medicine from Qingfengkou, and they are not prepared to eat it, so they deserve it if the old man plots to successfully dismember the body alive.
It was only then that everyone remembered the existence of the Mongolian sweat medicine, and they were frightened into a cold sweat.
It's no wonder that everyone didn't expect it. It's really too incongruous and dramatic after the Mongolian sweat medicine appears in such a place in the ghost dungeon.
"Then, sheep, what, prepare?" Jiang Chao asked.
Xiang Nu kicked the dirt under his feet, and said lightly: "No more preparations, just split the road to find clues, and pass the level directly after finding the clues."
Several people tensed up, and Miao Dong raised his eyebrows: "Just continue to search for clues separately according to the previous assignment?"
Xiangnu nodded and said to Shu Jian: "Senior brother, let's go to Qiuyuan first."
Several other people looked at each other and asked each other: "Where do you decide to start looking for clues first?"
Zhong Liyun called Xiangnu hesitantly: "Little brother, if you say we go to the villagers to find out information, will the villagers pay attention to us?"
Xiangnu blinked and smiled: "Fifth Senior Sister really thinks I'm omnipotent? Although I can make a guess, I can't be sure that the villagers will do what I think. After all, I haven't fought with them." Cross-talk."
"Boldly ask, just be careful not to touch the killing conditions of the villagers."
A few people scratched their heads and were still a little confused, but Xiang Nu had already led Shu Jian to the north along the hill.
Walking on the top of the hill, Xiangnu also did not forget to observe the environment of the western hill. The environment of the west is similar to that of the east and south, but it is not as steep as the other side, and if one is not careful, he will fall into the river.
The ground on the west side is very flat, the soil is dry and hard, and the soil inside is not very clean, and several sheets of paper whose color can no longer be seen are scattered and sunk in the ground.
As Xiangnu was walking, there happened to be a piece of paper under his feet, so he squatted down and scraped the surrounding soil carefully, digging out the paper from the ground.
Because the soil was too dry and hard, Xiangnu's nails hurt a little, and a lot of dust was mixed into them. Xiangnu blew gently on his hands, and the dry pain faded a little.
Shu Jian scratched his head at the side, and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, you can just ask me to do what you do in the future."
Xiangnu looked at the paper in his hand intently, but didn't answer. The paper was a little whitish, with some strange patterns on it, those patterns were drawn by some dark red things, Xiangnu took the paper to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Sniffing out the smell, thinking about it, showing it to Shu Jian, and asking him: "Senior brother, I used to have some problems with my eyes. I couldn't see many things, and I don't know what those things are. Please help me see this." Paper, what do you think it looks like?"
Shu Jian hesitated and whispered: "It seems to be a talisman..."
"Amulet paper..." Xiangnu murmured, recalling Qingfeng's weirdness, and said to himself: "Speaking of which, does Master know Taoism? If he does, will he have other ways to curse us? What about it? And his room, we have never been in it... "
Xiangnu came to Qiuyuan with Shu Jian with many questions in mind. Before going down, Xiangnu looked back at the direction of the old man's house, and the villagers at the door dispersed one after another.
Xiangnu withdrew his gaze, and walked slowly down the mountain with Shu Jian, stepping on those bulging hills.
There are still small holes in some hillocks, which are the hillocks where Xiangnu and Shu Jian dug out the earth souls before.
Xiangnu looked at his ten fingers. After scraping a layer of dirt, his fingers had been hurting all the time, so he had no choice but to say to Shu Jian: "Senior brother, my hand seems to be scratched just now when digging the dirt. The next thing may I will trouble you again."
Shu Jian quickly said: "Leave it all to me, Junior Brother! This is not a trouble, and I also want to thank you for providing me with the opportunity to contribute my value."
Xiangnu pursed his lips and smiled softly, remembering the first dungeon, suddenly felt that the existence of that dungeon was really very reasonable.
For Xiangnu, it is not a big deal to eat and wait to die, but it is very annoying to find fault with eating and waiting for death. Now everyone in the dungeon is consciously using their strengths to find their own position, and the combination of civil and military is just right.
Xiangnu instructed Shu Jian to dig out the hillocks where earth souls should be dug out. He wanted to see what was under the hillocks.
Shu Jian was shocked when he heard the words, and said worriedly: "Little brother, the origin of the earth soul is unknown, and you can see that this hill looks very, very similar..."
Xiangnu listened carefully to Shu Jian's opinion, and was not in a hurry when he saw that he was too late to say anything, so he asked patiently: "Senior brother, you also know that I had problems with my eyes before, so I may be able to observe many things with my eyes. Some important points will be overlooked, so I need you to remind me at this time.”
Then Shu Jian said dryly: "Junior brother, these hills look like shrunken tombs. If the hills are regarded as graves, wouldn't the earth souls buried in them be..."
Xiangnu pondered for a few seconds, then gently clapped his hands: "Then we need to dig even more, maybe we can get some important information from it."
Shu Jian wanted to cry but had no tears: "Little brother, aren't you afraid of disturbing the peace of the dead..."
Xiangnu's expression remained unchanged, and he was always calm: "How could it be, this is not the real world, where is the peace?"
"Third brother, you think this hill is like a tomb, and the earth soul in the grave is like a corpse. I also think that the hill is a poison technique arranged by the master, specially used to suppress these people who were killed by him. Now we have dug up this hill. Qiu is doing it for their own good."
Shu Jian smiled wryly: "I can't say no to you, Junior Brother."
But the man obediently squatted in front of a small hill with a small hole, wondering where to start.
Although he felt that his actions were not very good, Shu Jian believed that Xiang Nu was better than himself, so he would still do it seriously.
Xiangnu comforted: "It's okay, we dug up these hills to find the secret of this dungeon, and then dedicated it to the holy city to seal the evil master. No matter the meaning of the hills is good or bad, we What they do is also beneficial to Earth Soul, they won't blame us."
Shu Jian whispered: "Then what if Earth Soul and Master are in the same group? Or another batch of ghosts."
Xiangnu laughed and said, "So dig the hills that have no earth souls first, the safety factor should be higher."
Shu Jian scratched his head, studied for a while, and then started to attack Xiaoqiu.
However, it was easy for them to poke a hole directly on the hill, but now when they seriously planed the hill, they found that they couldn't dig it.
Shu Jian told Xiangnu this discovery, and Xiangnu leaned over and poked the small mound, and then changed several mounds with holes and no holes to try in turn, and found that the few mounds whose earth souls had been dug out The mound was hard as hell.
Then he selected a new hillock and poked a hole in the tip with his fingers to lure out the earth soul inside, and asked Shu Jian to plan the hillock open.
A pile of soft soil was scattered on the side, and the short amputated phalanx lay quietly in it.
After the hill was dug open, the finger bones were exposed, and the earth soul that had wanted to run towards the hill suddenly stopped moving, and wandered not far away, but did not come close.
Xiangnu pinched the amputated finger bone and looked at it for a few seconds, then asked: "Senior brother, is it true that the hardened mound cannot be dug?"
Shu Jian showed distress, thought for a while, and said, "It's ok, but I have to go back and get the tools..."
Xiangnu smiled and asked: "But Master is still at home, do you dare to go back?"
Shu Jian's face froze immediately, and Xiang Nu kindly reminded: "The stalks of yarrow are very hard, can I use them?"
Shu Jian nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, little brother, wait for me here for a while, I will come as soon as I go."
Looking at Shu Jian running away in a hurry, Xiang Nu saw that he was the only one left around, opened his left hand and blew gently on the bright red mole on the palm, and called out sweetly: "Mr. Yu~"
Yu Su didn't respond, so Xiang Nu repeated the old trick, walked up the mountain, sat down, lifted up his trouser legs, and blew lightly on the pointy pattern on his knees.
This time, Mr. Yu's reaction was extremely fast, and the pattern jumped several centimeters in an instant, and it didn't reach his thigh directly.
The red mole on the palm also became hot, and the blood-red screen jumped out.
? ? :… what are you doing
Xiangnu asked curiously: Mr. Yu, what exactly is the pattern you left on me? It's so sensitive, I blow on it lightly, and you, Mr. Yu, appear right away.
? ? :...
Xiangnu blinked his eyes, but there was an innocent look on his gorgeous face, he perfectly blended innocence and temptation, it was extremely alluring, as if he really didn't understand anything.
Mr. Yu avoided answering, and only replied reservedly: From now on, you can just call my name directly, there is no need to do this
With a faint smile on his face, Xiang Nu wrote leisurely: Really
? ? :...
? ? :up to you
It seems that I still like it, and if it is true, I will directly reject it.
Xiangnu smiled slightly, stopped teasing Yu Su, and asked instead: Mr. Yu, if you are not in the dungeon, can you see me
? ? :
Xiangnu shook his right finger carefully, lowered his brows and eyes in discomfort, and wrote: I just dug the soil with my hand, and the soil in this dungeon is so hard, it broke my hand, and there are several extra lines on my fingers. Small wound, very painful.
? ? : you are too careless
Xiangnu couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and wrote on the other side of the screen: The evil spirit in the dungeon is very heavy. If you get a wound on your body, it will be fine for a short time, but it may be affected after a long time. mental state
? ? : After you come out of the dungeon, I will go and see you
Seeing the words behind, Xiangnu couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Yu added: That's all.
Xiang Nu couldn't hold back, and chuckled lightly.
Mr. Yu's supplement is really full of self-disclosure, are you still feeling awkward
Xiangnu continued to reply: Mr. Yu, I am really happy and looking forward to seeing you after the dungeon is released, I really want to clear the level from the dungeon immediately to see you.
Xiangnu: It's a pity that it may take several hours to clear the customs. If you don't see each other every day, it will take more than 6,000 hours to see you.
Xiangnu: Can you comfort me now, rather than seeing each other far away
Xiangnu: The hearts of injured people are very fragile. What they need most at this time is the embrace of love and comfort
So, next time, don't mock me directly, can you comfort me first
Xiangnu really sighed deeply, and then waited for Mr. Yu's reply.
? ? : Which finger
Xiangnu is at a loss: right index finger
Xiangnu didn't understand that Yu Su didn't think anything when he asked this question. The strange thing is that Mr. Yu didn't speak for a long time after Xiangnu answered. After Xiangnu waited for a while, he tentatively sent a question mark. reaction.
Xiangnu gradually frowned, looking at his chat records, did he say something wrong
Xiangnu was in a bad mood. Shu Jian also came back at this time. Although Xiangnu knew that Shu Jian couldn't see his personal panel, the blood-red screen hanging there naked was an eyesore, but he couldn't turn it off by himself. .
Just when Xiangnu was getting irritable, Yu Su finally got a reply.
Yu Su posted a picture, in which were two colorful Q-version villains, one in a white military uniform and the other in a stone-yellow shirt. Obviously, these two Q-version villains were Yu Su and Xiangnu.
In the picture, the villain Yu Su hugged the villain Xiangnu tightly in his arms from behind, not to mention that, he also held the fingers of the villain in the stone yellow shirt.
Such a cute picture, but this action makes her look serious.
Mr. Yu's reply followed closely: only hugs, no 'love hugs'
Xiang Nu: ...
Xiangnu was really going to be amused by Mr. Yu, so you went to paint after you disappeared for so long.
He also deliberately emphasized that there is no "love hug", it really holds a grudge.
Xiangnu lightly tutted, a strong intention to make a copy rose in his heart.
He thinks Mr. Yu is cute.
