Since they were heading towards Gu Holy City, if the direction was correct, the route taken by Su Qi and Qin Na would become more and more remote.
It was no longer the same as before, and she could still go shopping in the town. When the moon rose above her head, Qin Na yawned, obviously a little sleepy, but Su Qi pointed forward: "We are not lucky. I just happened to come across a corpse-expelling inn."
Along the way, Su Qi also popularized some knowledge about cultivation with Qin Na. In this land, in addition to the mainstream of Gu insects, there are still many people from the three religions and nine streams active.
Driving corpses, as a... characteristic of Maoshan, takes a long time every time you go out.
And these corpses are not suitable to be brought into the town, otherwise if a corpse mutates or something happens, it will cause great damage.
Therefore, every Taoist priest who drove away corpses had to eat and sleep in the open air, and this also gave birth to a business, dealing with the dead. The business of driving corpses is also the same as those who open corpse inns.
Su Qi once followed Uncle Jiu to see the Corpse Exorcist Inn. It wouldn't be too weird to say how wonderful it was, but it was different from a normal inn. This place was almost only open at night, and the shopkeeper also knew some techniques of controlling corpses, just like leading a horse. The waiter, but here, all the people he leads are corpses.
Along the forest path, in the vague mist, the mule cart slowly arrived in front of the inn.
Looking at the inn, which occupies a relatively large area, it looks a bit quaint and has obviously existed for a long time. Two white lanterns hang on both sides, reflecting a little light.
Su Qi just reached out to knock on the door when he saw the door opened directly. Inside, an extremely hunched old man stood behind the threshold with a smile.
The smile is a little penetrating, the teeth that are almost missing, and the wrinkled face all reflect the age and mystery of this person.
"It seems that they are not the guests who are driving away corpses, but anyone who can come to my old man's place is a guest. You two please come in!"
Holding the lantern, there is a faint green light emitting from it. If you look closely, you will find that the human oil that has just been made is burning inside.
There was some darkness in the inn, and the faint light emanating from it made Qinna unconsciously get closer to Su Qi. She carefully hid behind her, only daring to stick out her little head and look around. She seemed to be frightened by something, so she quickly retracted, but I can't help but wonder, typical people are addicted to food.
"Okay, let's go, you'll get used to it after seeing it a lot!" Su Qi strode in. He actually felt that the environment here was a bit intimidating, especially when he saw a human skin that was still dead.
"Hey, shopkeeper, there's no one here. Is the business so bad?" Su Qi asked casually. Unexpectedly, the old shopkeeper also became interested, and he responded slowly:
"Who says it's not the case? It stands to reason that the old man's business should be better due to the chaos of war, but not many people have come to the door recently. Oh, a few people came yesterday, but they didn't sit for a while and then left again. They said they were in a hurry. Doing business?”
The old shopkeeper babbled and led the way, and didn't stop until he came to a table.
"Can you two eat something first?"
Su Qi was also hungry, so he ate whatever he wanted. He sat directly on the chair and said with a smile: "Old shopkeeper, you can order whatever you like, but it's better to eat something that normal people can eat. We are not corpses."
"Well, there are dishes prepared. I won't let you two down."
After a while, the old shopkeeper brought some dishes on his own. This corpse-expelling inn didn't have any choice. They just ate whatever was brought to them.
Steamed fish, sliced pork, stir-fried...
The dishes are very rich, and they are not limited to dishes only in this area. It seems that the old shopkeeper's skills and knowledge are quite good.
Qin Na poked a few times with her chopsticks, and even planned to take out a silver needle to test the poison. In fact, it was Su Qi's fault. There were a lot of things she talked about along the way, which were both unfamiliar and familiar. Naturally, the little girl was frightened. , three points of surprise, and the remaining ninety-four points are all vigilance.
Looking at this girl amused, Su Qi ignored her and started eating directly. However, the posture of picking up the chopsticks was a little stiff, and Qin Na also complained in a low voice, "It's a pity". She only tasted it for a few times and then put down her chopsticks. , because I really can’t feel any taste.
"Is the food not to the taste?" The old shopkeeper looked at Qin Na's lack of appetite. His tone was very concerned. After all, if his granddaughter was still alive, she would be this old.
Hearing the old shopkeeper's kind greetings, Qin Na also replied politely: "No, your cooking is delicious, but there is no taste in my mouth. I'd better let Brother Su Qi eat these. He eats everything anyway." of."
There was no problem with Qin Na's words, because in just such a short time, he had almost finished half of the food in front of him, and there was still another half. He pointed with chopsticks and said: "It doesn't taste good to me, but we can't waste food. Well."
His expression was very serious, and even the old shopkeeper couldn't help but nod. There was some reminiscence in his cloudy old eyes. He had experienced many famines, and food was more important than anyone else. Whether it was in ancient times or now in the war-torn times, ordinary people may have the biggest problem. The wish is to have enough food.
If you waste food, you will be struck by lightning. Therefore, the old shopkeeper was very careful to eat everything for his family, and no bones were wasted.
Hearing the old shopkeeper start to talk about his past, Qin Na's butt unconsciously moved in the direction of Su Qi, and the expression on her face began to frown deeply. She would not hurt her family.
"So, what I'm eating isn't human flesh, is it?" Su Qi picked up a piece of meat and looked at it carefully.
"Of course not. Old man, I still pay attention to integrity when doing business. Whatever the name of the dish is, this is the dish." The old shopkeeper also showed a very serious expression. In this business, the most important thing for him is integrity.
In this regard, Su Qi also nodded, but he still couldn't help but said: "The food is right, but the amount of the poison and soul-destroying potion you put in is a bit too large, and some of the particles have not melted. This must be Will it affect the taste?"
As he said that, Su Qi pulled it and found that some drug particles were indeed still inside. It must have been because he was in a hurry, after all, the old shopkeeper was just cooking alone.
Such comments made the old shopkeeper, who was also a cook, feel a little ashamed. He apologized: "Old man, this is my first time using this medicine. I used to chop the customers directly, but now I'm really not used to it."
The whole environment became more and more weird and dark. The exchange between the two made Qinna open her mouth. For the first time, she felt that she still had a lot to learn from Su Qi. For example, now, it was obvious that they were facing each other in life and death. But we can still sit together so calmly.
Use the calmest tone and say the cruelest words!
