Chapter 64 [Shan Kui]

Chapter 64 [Shan Kui]

January 7th. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Commonly known as Laba.

It is said that when the founding emperor Zhu was in trouble, he was starving and cold. He collected some grains and rotten beans that others had thrown away and cooked porridge to drink. So it became the Laba porridge passed down by later generations.

Jinling Prefecture was once the capital of the founding emperor Zhu, and the custom of Laba porridge is deeply rooted in Jinling Prefecture.

The winter climate is getting colder at this time. Although it has not snowed at this time due to the geographical location of Jinling Prefecture, the weather is getting colder day by day.

When it was just getting dark, the north wind blew strongly, and the forest under the Purple Gold Mountain, which was originally located in the east of the city, was even more whistling.

There was also a group of damp air floating out from the belly of the mountain, as if it was slowly passing over the hill with the momentum of the cold wind.

·

Chen Yan also cooked a pot of Laba porridge in the evening to meet the occasion.

Gu Qingyi and himself were the only two people at home, and it seemed lonely.

Chen Yan didn't think it was bad - he had been used to being alone since he was a child. When the old lady was around, he could accompany her. During the holidays, the two depended on each other.

After the old lady left, Chen Yan was alone, and sometimes he would feel lonely.

At this moment...

Looking at Gu Xiaoniang sitting at the dining table, Chen Yan's eyes showed a faint smile.

It can be regarded as... having an inexplicable family.

Gu Qingyi served himself a bowl of Laba porridge, and frowned after taking a sip.

"Not sweet."

Chen Yan smiled and got up, went to the kitchen to get the sugar jar and put it in front of Gu Qingyi: "If you want to eat sweet, add it yourself."

Gu Xiaoniang smiled, and then added three spoons of sugar without hesitation.

"If you eat like this, even if you don't freeze to death during the day, you will get diabetes." Chen Yan sighed.

"In the realm of heaven, you are immune to all diseases." Gu Qingyi shook her head and answered.

"How long can you live in this realm of heaven?"

"You can live until your bones turn to ashes."

"In our world, people are cremated after death, and they can turn to ashes in an instant."

"Then live until your grandson turns to ashes." Gu Xiaoniang answered.

Can we still have a good chat... Chen Yan shook his head.

However... it made him feel a little closer.

When the old lady was still there, the grandparents and grandchildren often joked and talked nonsense like this.

The old lady was not a serious person either.

At this moment, arguing with Gu Qingyi so casually made Chen Yan feel a little familiar and friendly.

"The wedding dress shop said that the clothes will be ready in about two weeks, and they will try their best to deliver them before the Spring Festival."

"Yeah." Gu Qingyi buried her head in the porridge and hid her flushed face.

After beating Chen Yan a few times that day... the measurements were finally given. But it didn't go through Chen Yan's hands, but directly told the tailor in the shop with Chen Yan's mobile phone.

What made Gu Xiaoniang shy was not the number, but... following the tailor's instructions, she hid in the room alone and measured her body with a ruler... That process made Gu Xiaoniang blush when she thought about it.

"I calculated the almanac, and the ghost marriage must find a yin day, and it is best to be an unlucky day. There is no such day recently, and it seems that the earliest day that can barely meet the requirements will be next month." Chen Yan picked up the side dishes for the porridge with chopsticks and said casually: "I have prepared a lot of runes, but it takes some time to draw the runes..."

"Yeah." Gu Qingyi also answered in a casual tone.

"You don't seem to be in good spirits?" Chen Yan glanced at Gu Xiaoniang.

Gu Qingyi sighed and said faintly: "I'm fine, don't think about it."

Although this is the result I have always wanted. But... Which girl would expect her wedding to be a ghost marriage?

Gu Qingyi suppressed the thought in her mind and said casually, "Are you going back to your hometown during the Spring Festival?"

"Yes, I will." Chen Yan nodded: "There are many favors to be repaid, and..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingyi's expression suddenly changed, and she waved her hand: "Don't talk!"

The carefree and relaxed look on her face had disappeared, and she suddenly jumped out of the chair and rushed out of the house at a high speed.

Chen Yan was stunned, not knowing why, but he immediately ran out of the door to the yard.

In the yard, Gu Qingyi squinted her eyes and looked at the east, then jumped onto the roof of the villa.

Just as Chen Yan was about to speak, he saw Gu Qingyi waving to him on the roof: "Come up."

Hmm?

Chen Yan took a breath, and with a [Law Order·Escape Jue], he jumped up and landed beside Gu Qingyi on the roof.

Gu Qingyi squinted his eyes and looked towards the east, then said firmly: "There is evil spirit!"

Chen Yan's face immediately became serious. He pinched his fingers together, then circulated his energy and focused his eyes.

He opened the Sky Eye Qi-gazing Technique to the maximum and looked towards the east...

Under the Qi-gazing Technique, in the distance to the east, in the air, a faint red cloud like blood was gradually condensing...

"Go and have a look!" Gu Qingyi turned his head and looked at Chen Yan.

"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned.

Before he could react, he felt his hand being held by a slippery and soft little hand, and then...

"Fuck!!!"

Chen Yan exclaimed, and his whole body flew out in the air!

In the blink of an eye, the villa was behind him!

In the blink of an eye, the community was behind him!

The wind whistled in my ears, and the sky and the earth were spinning!

Under the Purple Mountain.

The forest road was already empty. In this weather and at this time, there were no tourists.

Besides, this forest road was not in the scenic area, but slightly closer to the belly of the mountain.

A figure was riding a bicycle out of the forest road in a hurry, and next to the bicycle, there was a sturdy running husky.

The person on the bike was a woman, and she was carrying a drawing board behind her. It looked like she was a female painter.

I was quite inspired to sketch in the forest in the afternoon, and I was fascinated by the painting until late.

As a painter, I usually go into the mountains and valleys to sketch and paint, and I am used to this lifestyle.

At this moment, the female painter had nothing to fear in her heart - Jinling Prefecture is a big city after all. Although this is a forest road in the mountains, it is not far from the scenic area.

In this era, there are no real deep mountains and old forests next to big cities.

Moreover, the public security in Jinling Prefecture has always been among the best in the country.

Moreover, the sturdy Husky with her also gave her a lot of sense of security.

She pedaled the bicycle hard, but in fact she just wanted to go back to eat earlier - she had been painting for a long time and forgot about hunger in her obsession. At this moment, her stomach was rumbling.

Turning a corner, the woman suddenly saw a figure squatting on the roadside under the forest on the left side in front of her.

Her heart jumped!

She subconsciously squeezed the brakes and slowed down.

But when she got closer, she saw that it was a person squatting under the tree. The clothes on her body were not clear in the night, but they were vaguely dirty.

Moreover, from the back, it should be an old lady?

The shoulders were shaking, as if crying?

The female painter had a good temper and couldn't help but slow down again. She glanced at the Husky sticking out its tongue beside the car, and she was encouraged in her heart. She simply stopped the car and walked over.

"Old lady?"

The back shook slightly.

"Old lady?" The female painter didn't get too close. She stopped when she was still three or four steps away and asked tentatively: "What's wrong with you? Do you need help?"

The back was still shaking slightly, but a few words were heard:

"I'm so hungry, so hungry..."

Hungry?

The female painter frowned: "Can't you find the way? Or..."

At this time, suddenly, the figure slowly turned his head.

Under the messy hair, there was a hideous face, especially the eyes, which were red as blood!

"I'm so hungry... I want to eat meat..."

·

Two figures stood on the ground with a strong wind.

"This is it, it should be nearby." Gu Qingyi said cautiously: "I'm not good at magic to track, but the induction should be correct. Chen Yan, you use the Qi-seeing technique... um?"

Looking back, the 22-year-old bastard was already hugging a big tree on the side of the road and vomiting crazily.

"Chen Yan?"

"You... wait a minute! I... vomit!" Chen Yan waved to Gu Qingyi without looking back.

Gu Qingyi frowned: "Too weak."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes... You flew 20 kilometers in less than five minutes, and you were flying close to the ground!

Besides, who is weaker, me or you?

Last time, that kid brother took me to fly more than 100 kilometers in one breath, and we were out of Jinling Prefecture. I didn't faint like this.

It's obvious that your magic is not good!

"Before you dragged me to fly, at least tell me." Chen Yan panted.

"I... I have tried my best to slow down to accommodate you." Gu Qingyi felt guilty and said carefully.

Chen Yan wiped his mouth hard, then looked at the back of his hand stained with disdain, and subconsciously glanced at his mother.

Gu Qingyi took a step back and said seriously, "If you dare to wipe it with my clothes, I will really beat you to death."

Chen Yan snorted and exhaled, "...So what are we looking at? What is that evil spirit?"

"I feel a trace of evil thoughts." Gu Qingyi said slowly, "It should be some kind of evil cultivator who has awakened."

"Evil cultivator?"

"Well, mountain ghosts, mountain monsters, mountain mandrills, or some evil demons - you don't think that demon cultivators are all stupid and stupid guys like Gui Geng."

Okay, this is about my blind spot in knowledge.

The booklet is for learning spells, after all, it is not an encyclopedia. Chen Yan really doesn't understand what Gu Qingyi said.

"What should we do now?"

"Find it, and then kill it. If this thing is revived, it will definitely hurt the Holy Spirit. Moreover... killing this thing and extracting its evil spirit can turn it into the purest Yin Sha, which is a good resource material for alchemy, talisman drawing, and medicine making."

Gu Qingyi glanced at Chen Yan: "You should be able to use it. You need to break the heart tribulation to ascend from the Guiyuan realm to the Dengtai realm, and the Yin Sha experience is indispensable."

Chen Yan thought for a while: "Is that thing very fierce?"

"I can solve it with one punch."

That's fine!

Chen Yan felt relieved.

Then Chen Yan used the Qi-Looking Technique to observe it carefully, and then identified the direction where the red blood evil was the most concentrated.

Gu Qingyi nodded and glanced at Chen Yan: "I'll go in, you wait here."

"I'm not going?" Chen Yan asked: "Why did you bring me here without me taking action?"

"Some evil cultivators have innate magical powers and are good at hiding and escaping. I will go in and kill them. If they run away, you can help me block them here." Gu Qingyi thought for a while: "You are in the Guiyuan realm. You should be able to deal with this level of evil spirit. However..."

She walked to Chen Yan's side, reached out and took out a clean talisman paper that had not been drawn on it from Chen Yan's shirt pocket.

Gu Qingyi raised her hand with concentration, and a golden light fell on the talisman paper with her fingertips, and immediately a strange rune shaped like a villain appeared.

"Take it. If you encounter it and you can't deal with it, burn the talisman and I will arrive immediately."

To be honest, Chen Yan was actually a little uneasy.

After all, although he had started practicing, he was just an ordinary young man who had lived in the world for twenty-two years.

He really had never experienced fighting and killing. Not to mention dealing with an [evil cultivator].

The only time he had seen blood in his life was when he was in the countryside, helping the old lady kill chickens.

However, in front of Gu Xiaoniang, Chen Yan didn't want to show too much fear, secretly gritted his teeth, and slowly said: "Okay! I'll help you block the periphery."

Gu Xiaoniang looked at Chen Yan with a smile: "Since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you will have such an experience sooner or later. It's your first time to see the enemy, and having me protect you is a good treatment."

After saying that, she waved her hand, leaped, and disappeared into the forest.
