Chapter 34 The Beautiful Western Hunan (34)

Wei Xun's mind was still in a mess. He tapped his temples and his memory quickly came back. Wei Xun remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. Realizing something, he quickly glanced at his information.

His current attributes are as follows -

[Guide information]

[Code: Bingjiu (only in this journey)]

[Rank: Silver Five Star (Bingjiu's rank) 90]

[Death countdown 40:13:05]

[Points: 7300]

[Mental pollution value (SAN): 24]

[Hatching countdown: 35:12:20]

"It's more difficult."

Wei Xun sat up and glanced around. He knew that he was either in an illusion or in Wu Laoliu's stilt house.

He had previously used the ‘experience ball of new attractions’ offered by Shi Tao, which increased the progress of opening new attractions by 45%. When using it, there was a note, ‘The hotel does not encourage taking shortcuts. When you use the experience ball to complete the opening of new attractions, you may encounter some ‘small’ troubles’

It’s just that the ‘trouble’ is not yet known where it is hidden. It is now the fourth day of the journey, and it seems that it will come out on the fifth or sixth day.

Wei Xun was not in a hurry. He glanced at it casually and threw it behind his mind. He was more concerned about the ‘adjustment of the most beautiful Xiangxi project’ prompted by the hotel before he fell into a coma.

“So that’s it”

After quickly browsing the new project information, Wei Xun suddenly realized: “Skip the project.”

This corpse-transformed flying fox king is the existence similar to the rotten corpse group in the second attraction. If Wei Xun does not kill it, it will hide the ghost baby during the third day of the bath. Travelers must go through many difficulties according to the clues and find the couple tree before the third day of the wine to fulfill ‘Pingping’s’ last wish.

Once the "Pingping's head" (actually the ghost baby swaddling clothes hanging on the tree, the core of the seal) is buried under the tree, the corpse-transformed flying fox king will be completely unsealed. It will attack and kill the ghost baby during the three-day wine.

But now, the corpse-transformed flying fox king has been solved by Wei Xun in advance. Without its obstruction, the passengers only need to complete the project according to the normal process.

Looking at the time, it is already nine o'clock in the morning. There are still three hours before the third day of the third month. Wei Xun is about to get out of bed, and suddenly he feels uncomfortable under his body. He touches under the quilt and pulls out a wooden box through the quilt.

The box seems to be not closed tightly, and there is a crack. From this crack, Wei Xun can smell the strong ginseng fragrance, and he can't help but feel a sense of desire in his heart. Alienation consumes too much energy, and he has lost a lot of blood. Although he has absorbed the blood essence of the corpse-transformed flying fox king, he is still weak in essence.

This ginseng is a good thing, it is definitely a great tonic for him.

But it appears here...

"Oh?"

Wei Xun snorted meaningfully.

* *

"Guide Bing, it's Guide Bing!"

"Guide Bing is back!"

As soon as Wei Xun appeared, the tourists who had been anxiously looking for him for a long time were suddenly surprised and shouted, and became a sea of ​​joy. When they heard Bing Jiu slowly say that he was not missing, but went to kill the corpse flying fox king, the most dangerous monster in the second scenic spot, in advance, the tourists were all stunned.

It was really unbelievable and shocking - what is the concept of the corpse flying fox king? It is equivalent to the group of rotten corpses in Xiaolong Yizhuang, and it is more difficult to deal with than them.

It was solved by Bing Jiu so quietly!

Wang Pengpai was dazed when he heard it. He understood Bing Jiu's meaning better than other tourists. The corpse flying fox king was solved in advance, which means that they can skip the scenic spot.

This is the most beautiful Xiangxi. It is a super dangerous journey. They can skip the scenic spot? ? ?

Wang Pengpai was shocked. At this moment, he wanted to sign Bingjiu into his own team immediately. This godly tour guide must not be missed!

But imagining Bingjiu's identity and his own mission, Wang Pengpai was depressed and sighed. How could such a good tour guide... be...?

Wei Xun took in the expressions of all the passengers. He was never the kind of person who did good things silently. If he didn't return home when he was rich, he would be like walking at night in brocade clothes. Whatever he did, he must let people know and let them remember it.

It was too rare and too bizarre to jump to the scenic spot. The passengers couldn't react for a while and had to digest it slowly. They were still in a daze until Bingjiu announced the three-day washing project and the passengers began to prepare their things.

"Did Director Bing kill the corpse-transformed flying fox king himself?"

When he and Miao Fangfei were fetching water by the Xiaolong River, Shi Tao was still a little dazed and didn't come back to his senses. Seeing the bucket of water suddenly fall out of his hand and into the water, he subconsciously reached out to grab it, but his foot slipped.

"Be careful!"

Miao Fangfei grabbed Shi Tao's hand in time and hooked the bucket back with a bamboo pole. Shi Tao, who almost fell into Xiaolongxi, was frightened by the turbulent water and broke out in a cold sweat. This was the most turbulent part of Xiaolongxi near Qiebi Village. He only had one arm, and it would be difficult to climb out if he really fell in.

After this, Shi Tao dared not be distracted anymore and thanked Miao Fangfei repeatedly.

"To be honest, I still can't believe it."

Miao Fangfei did not blame him, shaking her head and sighing: "Director Bing is too strong... It is our blessing to be on his team."

After changing her tone, she became serious again: "But we still can't take it lightly."

"Yes."

Shi Tao said seriously in a low voice, subconsciously touching his belly. The bucket fell just now, and it was the ghost baby who was making trouble. The naughty ghost baby is really a headache. The baby does not know good and evil, and the ghost baby is even more paranoid and self-centered. Making trouble is a small matter. If it is not satisfactory, its pranks will even put people in danger.

Although they all agreed to brush up the favorability of the ghost baby, this little thing is really hard to like.

In addition, there is one more thing.

"Captain Miao, Brother Shi, you are back."

Back in Qiebi Village, Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao met Hou Feihu and others who went out to fetch water. Because the ghost baby likes to play pranks, they now go with at least two people wherever they go. Like Shi Tao's incident this time, if he was alone, it might be dangerous.

"We have found the triangular maple, four-wheel grass, and bitter bamboo leaves, but we still need the fragrant leaves."

"It's OK. Shi Tao and I will go find the fragrant leaves later."

Miao Fangfei nodded without changing her expression, and even said with concern: "Be careful when you get to the stream." Then she briefly told Shi Tao about how he almost fell into the water.

"Is Shi Tao okay?"

Facing his worried eyes, Shi Tao smiled calmly: "It's okay, just don't be distracted."

"Brother Shi Tao, you are thinking about Director Bing, hehe, I am thinking about him too, he is really strong and awesome."

"Okay, we should go."

Hou Feihu looked at his watch and urged: "There is not much time."

"Okay, Captain Miao, Brother Shi Tao, we will see you later!"

Miao Fangfei and Hou Feihu made eye contact, and then one team went to the direction of Xiaolongxi, and the other team went to the direction of Qiebi Village. After walking a hundred steps, Miao Fangfei heard Shi Tao beside her breathe a sigh of relief.

"You were a little emotional just now."

Miao Fangfei reminded in a low voice: "Didn't I say that everything is normal?"

"That's what I said."

Shi Tao smiled bitterly: "But this kind of thing..."

He shook his head and lowered his voice: "I will pay attention next time."

Miao Fangfei nodded. In fact, although she seemed calm, she was actually uneasy.

Yu Hehui is back!

The extra person in the team came back so quietly, and no one noticed it at first! It was at the end of the Taofu project, and they couldn't find Bingjiu anywhere, and they were anxious. Yu Hehui suggested that they take pictures with a camera, maybe they can find clues. After all, those who have the ability to take Bingjiu away must be supernatural ghosts.

Miao Fangfei thought it made sense, and everyone divided into teams to look for them. When they gathered again and got those supernatural photos and carefully examined them one by one, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart.

Yu Hehui?

Yu Hehui? !

When did Yu Hehui come back? !

Miao Fangfei was in a state of confusion. She intuitively thought whether Yu Hehui's appearance was related to Bingjiu's disappearance. She could not alert the enemy. She found an opportunity to remind Hou Feihu, Shi Tao and others.

Now Bingjiu is back, but Yu Hehui has not disappeared again. Miao Fangfei and others unanimously decided that everything should remain the same without finding out Yu Hehui's true identity and purpose. They should not alert the enemy.

Now Yu Hehui is in a group with Hou Feihu every time they act. Fortunately, Hou Feihu is there, otherwise it would be difficult for them, a group of weak and sick people, to keep an eye on Yu Hehui.

"Wait until the third day of the year to see."

Miao Fangfei and Shi Tao returned to the room, poured the stream water they had just brought back into the cauldron, and covered it with something to prevent dust and debris from falling in. Then the two set out to look for fragrant leaves in the forest outside Qiebi Village.

"If you remain unchanged in the face of change, he will always fall into trouble."

Fragrant leaves are the leaves or bark of the tea pear, which have the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression. It is a kind of herb needed for the third day of the year. When washing the baby's third day, put the maple, four-wheel grass, bitter bamboo leaves and fragrant tree leaves into the stream water. The stream water should be selected from the most turbulent part, which means "long source and long flow". The maple can remove rheumatism, the four-wheel grass can stop the baby from crying at night, the bitter bamboo leaves can remove all unclean things, and the fragrant tree leaves can detoxify and remove blood stasis.

All are blessings for the baby.

It is said that in the traditional customs of the ethnic minorities in Xiangxi, when the baby is born, he is fed with brown sugar water and four-season tea for the first two days, and starts to drink milk on the third day. After drinking milk, the baby officially starts to live a "human" life. Washing the baby's third day is on this third day. The ritual of bathing the baby means washing away all filth, so that the child can grow up healthily and be a clean person from then on.

After learning about the ritual of washing the baby's third day, Miao Fangfei and others briefly discussed whether to do it the other way around this time, after all, they are pregnant with a ghost baby.

"I think we have to do it seriously this time."

Miao Fangfei said: "We can't do it the other way around once and then think it's definitely the other way around. We still have to look at the specific content of the ceremony."

They drew the peach charms the other way around because the purpose of drawing peach charms is to separate pregnant women from "evil spirits", but they were pregnant with a ghost fetus, so they had to find a way to avoid it.

But the third-day bath is different. The third-day bath is a blessing for the baby. No matter what kind of mother, she hopes that the child can grow up healthily. In Pingping's place, if she had really given birth to a child, as a mother, she should also have good expectations for the ritual of the third-day bath.

"Just do it as required."

Miao Fangfei gritted her teeth and made a decision. Choices are particularly important in the journey. It can be said that every choice determines the fate of the passengers. Therefore, the leader of the trip is very important, and it is usually taken by people with titles such as "foreknowledge" and "observation". Miao Fangfei is lacking in this point, and can only judge by experience.

Fortunately, she has never made a mistake so far.

The things needed for the third-day bath are miscellaneous and numerous. You need to prepare an abacus (hope that the child will be scheming when he grows up), prepare scales or gold and silver (wish the child to have gold and silver in the future and live a rich life), put some green onions (hope that the child is smart), and tear a little window edge paper and put it in the water (hope that the child is clear-headed and bright-eyed). There are fifteen or sixteen kinds of things to prepare.

It is not easy to find everything in the long-abandoned Qiebi Village. The window paper has long been rotten, and the abacus and other things have also rotted and can't be found. On the other hand, things like green onions can be found in the dehydrated vegetable bags that Lin Xi brought for brewing, and they can be used after rehydration.

The good news is that for every two things prepared, the ghost baby's favorability will increase a little. Although it is not easy to find things, it also cheered up Miao Fangfei and the others. This time the choice should be correct.

* *

"Prepare less things."

On the other side, in Yingzhu Miao Village, four men with bulging bellies gathered together and communicated with their eyes. Of course, eyes certainly can't express such complicated words. Wang Pengpai tore off a corner of the paper and wrote on it, and passed it to Zhao Hongtu and the others to see.

After reading it, the note was burned by Wang Pengpai with a lighter.

The same three-day washing project, the decision made here is completely different from Miao Fangfei's. In the final analysis, it was when they just knew that Bing Jiu had killed the corpse-transformed Flying Fox King and were in shock, Yu Hean saw that the list required the preparation of ox horns, so he took out the old yellow cowhide and wanted to grind a little bit of ox horn powder. But he saw the big copper bell-sized cow eyes on the ox head shedding blood and tears.

Yu Hean was so scared that he immediately told Wang Pengpai and the others the news.

"Grinding ox horns is not a good thing, what Da Huang said is definitely right."

Yu Hean was worried: "I have also ground ox horns before, and it was fine, but this time Da Huang shed blood and tears, which is definitely not good."

Yu Hean had also ground ox horns before, and nothing happened, but this time the old yellow cowhide shed blood and tears, which means that grinding ox horns this time will have a bad effect.

"The ox horns are to wish the baby to be as strong and powerful as the ox."

Wang Pengpai touched his chin, thought for a while, and then told everyone not to prepare things on the list that were "blessings" for the baby. Especially things like 'prepare bird feathers, wish the baby to be as light as a bird', 'prepare tiger teeth, wish the baby to be as fierce as a tiger'.

And these words were written on the note, because when Yu Hean said 'the old ox shed blood and tears, is it not good to prepare ox horns', his baby's favorability dropped by 2 points.

It was as if the child in their belly was demonic and could understand what they said.

From then on, Wang Pengpai and his team used notes to communicate about anything related to the third day of the third month.

Wang Pengpai suspected that the things they prepared for the third day of the third month ... Thinking of this, Wang Pengpai sighed secretly, but everyone has their own destiny, and they still have to walk their own path. At least this time in the most beautiful Xiangxi, they should be able to survive.

After all, there is Bingjiu.

Wang Pengpai felt restless and itchy when he remembered that Bingjiu was brought back by Wu Laoliu. It was weird, too weird. He regretted taking the initiative to come to the most beautiful Xiangxi to watch the fun, especially when Bingjiu, who came back, often looked at him with a look that made Wang Pengpai's scalp numb.

Wei Xun glanced at Wang Pengpai, and when he saw that he reflexively returned a simple and honest smile, he raised his eyebrows. Wei Xun sat leisurely on the bamboo chair and watched Wang Pengpai and the others get busy, holding a wooden box in his arms. It was exactly what he found from Wu Laoliu.

He knew at first sight that it was Wu Laoliu's doing. It was almost an open conspiracy. With Wei Xun's adventurous personality, the more obvious the trap, the more he wanted to step on it. He had to break it.

If it was another trap, Wei Xun might have taken the bait, but ginseng is an inlet, and Wu Laoliu is made of maggots.

Wei Xun felt sick at the thought. After leaving with the box, he wanted to contact the hotel to sell the ginseng whiskers. Anyway, he might as well recycle them. But before Wei Xun was about to sell the ginseng whiskers, a maggot crawled out of the crack in the box, shaking its head and raising its upper body towards Wei Xun in high spirits.

Wei Xun:? ! ? !

At that moment, Wei Xun almost suffocated as if he saw an exhibitionist standing in front of him with his coat lifted up. When he realized that the maggot's consciousness was in his brain and communicating with him, Wei Xun was numb all over.

Damn it, his mind is not clean.

Fortunately, the maggots reported in time that the four maggot brothers had developed a subordinate line and successfully occupied Wu Laoliu's right index finger. This was the first action of their organization, and they successfully shattered Wu Laoliu's conspiracy to put maggots in the ginseng beard to harm Wei Xun, and sent the maggots to the master.

What to do next, please instruct the master!

Wei Xun was numb. He never thought that he would become the head of the maggots one day. Collecting a mosquito was enough to break the bottom line, and then a maggot——

He can't, he can't, the bottom line must not retreat step by step.

Just when Wei Xun was about to sell all the maggots to the hotel, all the travelers came to see him. At this glance, Wei Xun saw Wang Pengpai.

It was this glance that changed the fate of the maggot.

Because Wei Xun saw a red light flashing around Wang Pengpai, just like the special effect of being named by the boss in the game.

Wei Xun certainly understood why this happened. But he really didn't expect to see such a light circle so soon!

Wei Xun put his hand in his pocket and held the metal name tag.

When discussing the agreement with * * * before, Wei Xun asked, after signing the agreement, did he directly join the An Xuefeng Brigade?

The answer is 'no'.

[Joining the An Xuefeng Brigade is your obligation in the agreement]

* * * gently said [Although his brigade requirements are a bit strict, I believe you can do it]

In other words, after signing the agreement, he did not directly join the An Xuefeng Brigade, but had to work hard to get in.

‘Does An Xuefeng know about your agreement?’

Wei Xun was speechless for a long time after listening to this, and asked faintly.

* * * laughed after listening, and dragged out his voice [Of course - I don’t know, this is interesting, isn’t it?]

Wei Xun felt more and more that * * * might have a grudge against An Xuefeng, absolutely, otherwise why would he be so deceiving. When he didn’t know, he signed this kind of agreement with Wei Xun.

However, this also suited Wei Xun’s wishes. If he really signed the agreement and joined the team directly, he would be quite unhappy.

[He always selects members personally, and his team members often hide their identities and travel with the team. Maybe you will meet them soon. When you sign the agreement, you will know when they appear]

[Maybe, this will help you seize the opportunity, come on]

Come on, shit.

Wei Xun was wondering at the time, what kind of person would always disguise their identity? Of course, it would be the wanted criminals who would always disguise their identities! Or there are powerful external enemies, or mortal enemies. In short, this brigade doesn't sound like a good bird.

However, the effect of this agreement is quite in line with Wei Xun's mind. He can know whether the people of An Xuefeng's brigade are around him. At that time, he can control the sovereignty whether he wants to hide or show himself.

Wei Xun doesn't like to be picked by others. He wants to be a selector.

From * * *'s words, Wei Xun can also hear that An Xuefeng's brigade is probably of a high level. Wei Xun is actually a newcomer to the brigade. It is unknown what will happen after leading this team. If the level of both parties is too different, it will be difficult to meet. This is exactly what Wei Xun wants. Anyway, * * * has not stipulated the time to join the brigade, so just take it slowly.

Who knew that when Wei Xun returned to Yingzhu Miao Village and saw Wang Pengpai, he saw a red glow on his body!

Wei Xun: ? ? ?

An Xuefeng is actually by my side? ?

No, that's not right. It may also be someone in An Xuefeng's brigade.

For a moment, Wei Xun thought whether this was a series of traps set by * * *. After all, from the time he mistakenly entered the dangerous journey, to the time he received the novice tour guide mission, Bingjiu disappeared, and he happened to be 51% similar to Bingjiu, so he was chosen to replace Bingjiu.

There are too many coincidences.

When Wei Xun was in absolute danger, * * * appeared in time and took out an agreement that he could not refuse and was absolutely generous.

Now, Wei Xun also knew that Wang Pengpai in the team was a hidden identity, a member of An Xuefeng Brigade.

Ordinary people would have been stunned by this series of punches, or would not have connected this series of coincidences at all, but Wei Xun was not an ordinary person.

After analyzing all this, he became more interested and stared at Wang Pengpai openly, which gave the fat man goose bumps all over his body.

Why did Wang Pengpai come here?

Was it to get something in the most beautiful journey in Xiangxi? Or was it for Wei Xun?

Or maybe... Wei Xun remembered that when they first got on the bus, Wang Pengpai and Lin Xi knew that Bingjiu had the title of "Painless". Lin Xi was someone close to Bingjiu, so why did Wang Pengpai come?

Could he have come for "Bingjiu"?

That would be interesting.

Wei Xun wondered if the disappearance of the original Bingjiu was related to An Xuefeng's brigade.

If so, did Wang Pengpai come to confirm whether "Bingjiu had disappeared"?

What would Wang Pengpai do if he found that "Bingjiu" was still there?

Should I report to my superiors? Control Bingjiu? Or make Bingjiu 'disappear again'?

[You will become Bingjiu, enjoy the majesty of being a tour guide Bingjiu, and bear all the dangers of him]

Now that I think about it, every word that * * * said seems to have a hidden meaning.

'I want to know what he is thinking'

Wei Xun talked to the maggot in his mind. He knew too little now and wanted to know too much. He had to be prepared in advance.

'Quietly, without letting him know'

Wei Xun's lips curled slightly, his eyelashes drooped, covering the light in his eyes, like a devil commanding his loyal servant.

'Can you do it? '
