"Go, go! Wherever there is excitement, I will be there."
Due to Shui Miaomiao's excellent performance in the Ancient Immortal Sect over the years, she has actually stayed calm and not caused trouble. To a certain extent, she can be considered to be able to enter and leave the Ancient Immortal Sect normally without having to be sneaky.
Of course it's impossible to go too far.
Bring Xuan'er along with Jiucheng Qiu to act as a messenger to protect the flowers. Although Yue Shan said in her heart that there is no need at all, she is much more powerful.
The town that Shui Miaomiao and the others planned to visit was not far away from the foot of the Ancient Immortal Sect Mountain. It was protected by the Ancient Immortal Sect and there were still many people coming and going.
At dusk, the group left the sect.
In the center of town, the tower of the firewood pile is three stories high.
Shui Miaomiao raised her head, "Are you planning to hold a bonfire party?"
"People are sacrifices, serious ones, not dinner parties."
"But it looks like you just want to have a party." There are many people on the street, and the sounds of small vendors coming and going are even more constant. Suddenly, it feels like this winter is not so cold.
Jiuchengqiu took the bamboo stick that was about to spit out sparks from Shui Miaomiao's hand, and handed over a handful of meat skewers, "It's not like there aren't any."
"What do you know?" Shui Miaomiao reluctantly took a meat skewer and bit off a piece of meat viciously. "The best thing to eat at barbecues and the like is the skewers. All the condiments are on them. They are the most delicious."
"What nonsense." Jiuchengqiu didn't listen to this, folded the sign and threw it aside.
"I don't understand life." Shui Miaomiao leaned towards Yueshan, seeking approval.
"Miaomiao is right." Yue Shan said, even though she didn't eat a single skewer of meat, the filthy food of humans is not suitable for her.
In the past, it was to hide a low profile and imitate humans. Now with Dark Moon, Yue Shan has also taken off a lot of disguises and doesn't touch these things much.
An Yue is sneering, what do you mean, you are bolder after following you. Obviously after knowing Shui Miaomiao, if you want to practice quickly, you have to touch less human things.
"Mouth." Yue Shan pointed at the corner of his mouth.
Shui Miaomiao stretched out her tongue to lick it.
Shui Miaomiao's behavior is always unpredictable. Yue Shan was so funny that he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sauce from the corners of Shui Miaomiao's mouth.
"Have you eaten or not?" Jiuzhongqiu glanced over.
Shui Miaomiao stared back. Eat at a roadside stall. I want to eat whatever I want. There is sauce at the corner of your mouth. You still need Xuan'er to remind you.
"What is that?" Looking at the long queue of vendors selling green liquid, Shui Miaomiao instantly put her displeasure behind her and looked at it curiously.
"It's brewed in the forest." Jiuzhong Qiu had good eyesight and spotted the hanging fan from the crowd.
"It sounds delicious."
"That's wine."
"I know it just by the name."
Jiuchengqiu stretched out his hand to stop Shui Miaomiao, "Can you drink?"
"That law says I can't drink anymore."
"You have a physique that means you have to run to the medicine hut every two days, and you drink too much."
"What's wrong with me running to Yaolu? It's a change of seasons, and there's a big temperature difference between day and night. Everyone is prone to getting sick. Besides, I'm not banned from drinking."
"That's because in the Ancient Immortal Sect, you can't touch alcohol at all."
"But now we are outside the Ancient Immortal Sect!" Shui Miaomiao muttered.
The two people had a normal argument on the roadside to childish chickens pecking each other. Yue Shan and Xuan'er had already bought the forest brew.
"The minority." Shui Miaomiao pointed at Ninefold Vengeance, then patted himself, "Obey the majority."
He took a bottle of forest brew from Yue Shan and stuffed it into Jiuzhongqiu's hand, "Have a try. With so many people buying it, it must be about the same. Just two bottles?"
Shui Miaomiao looked at the remaining bottle of forest brew in Yue Shan's hand.
Yueshan said she didn't drink, Xuan'er said she couldn't drink, as a maid, and so on.
"Okay."
Shui Miaomiao interrupted Xuan'er's words, don't let these disturb today's good mood.
"It's just the two of us, so we don't have to worry about getting drunk. Someone can get us back." Shui Miaomiao helped Jiuchengqiu uncork the bottle and urged.
"Hey!" This wine was really cold. Shui Miaomiao took a sip and shuddered. But it tasted good, sweet and refreshing, just right to remove the greasiness of the meat skewers.
Although the first sip made my teeth freeze, it was still wine after all. After a few sips, my body warmed up.
"Don't drink it too quickly," Yue Shan dissuaded, "The alcohol content of this kind of wine brewed in the forest is uncertain."
"How to say?"
"Forest brewing is a general term. It is naturally formed by the gathering and fermentation of fallen fruits in the mountains and forests. It is not controllable by humans."
"That's it, no wonder it tastes good." Shui Miaomiao took a sip. The wine taste was really not strong, it felt more like juice.
But after a while, Shui Miaomiao felt like she was stepping on the clouds, a little bit like she was about to fly, but it didn't matter, in this winter, she was wearing too much and couldn't fly.
A lot of people had gathered in the center of the town. It seemed that there was going to be an event. Everyone stopped and found a seat that was not visible and had a good view.
"Are you drunk?" Jiuchengqiu approached Shui Miaomiao and asked.
"No." Shui Miaomiao immediately retorted, saying that she could still drink three bottles.
After walking around the town, we returned to the three-story firewood pile. The winter night seemed to fall instantly, mixed with the biting cold wind, which made people's faces hurt.
Shui Miaomiao also became slightly clearer, and then drank the last bit of forest brew in the bottle.
A man dressed like a bird appeared on top of the firewood pile, and then he danced with a group of people.
Shui Miaomiao doesn't quite understand these things, it just looks funny. Isn't this the main purpose of going down the mountain?
The pile of firewood was instantly ignited, and the flames shot into the sky with scorching heat.
Xuan'er was frightened and instinctively moved closer to Jiuchengqiu, putting her hand on Jiuchengqiu's arm.
After all, she had been trapped in a fire, so Xuan'er still had a bit of a shadow about fire.
Jiuzhong Qiu glanced at the hand on his arm and wanted to shake it off.
"Ahem." Shui Miaomiao pretended to cough twice, and Jiuchengqiu's arm froze in place. Seeing that there was no refusal, Xuan'er moved to Jiuchengqiu's side.
Shui Miaomiao smiled and took a few steps back. As he got closer, he felt a little too hot. He didn't know whether it was the fire or the brew in the forest.
Looking up at the soaring fire, the man dressed like a bird that turned into a spirit continued to dance in the fire, which made people want to applaud him.
Staring at the fire for a long time made my eyes feel a little sore.
Shui Miaomiao looked away and rubbed her eyes. A man in gray robe emerged from the crowd with some excitement and left the center of the town as if fleeing. There was someone more afraid of fire than Xuan'er.
Shui Miaomiao wanted to laugh, but her hood was blown up by the cold wind. A touch of blue behind her ears made Shui Miaomiao freeze in place.
Are you dazzled?
Shui Miaomiao put down her hand instantly, and without any time to think about it, she ran towards the alley where the man disappeared.
For so many years, there has been no news about Jian Chu.
Come to think of it, it was impossible for him to declare himself safe.
Shui Miaomiao also inquired from the side, and the number of tasks issued by the sect about a large number of women being abducted was becoming less and less.
There have been no new similar missions for a long time. Previous missions were canceled due to deadlines or the discovery of corpses.
This is a good thing.
Maybe Jian Chu has picked up the real villain hiding behind the scenes and returned to the South China Sea.
