little spicy jiao

There were many diners in the store, and it was noon at this time, and there was an endless stream of customers coming and going, and the voices of vendors outside the door were mixed with the conversation, so not many people noticed the young man's roar.

The young man who called himself Huai Mo saw the child ignorantly tilting his head and remained silent, thinking that he hadn't heard his question, so he smiled again and said with his chin on his hands:

"Who is the owner of the valley you mentioned? I want to see who is not smart enough to dare to criticize Sang Huai and teach bad children like this."

Mo Jiao stared intently at the not-so-beautiful woman's makeup on the young man's face, as well as the long red nails on the five fingers sticking to his chin, and took a step back in doubt.

He turned his head and glanced at Dugu Jiu on the other side, then turned his head again, and said softly: "Jiao Jiao doesn't know what the owner of the valley is called."

"Oh?" The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked at Mo Jiaojiao carefully, and said, "Then do you know who your valley owner is?"

Mo Jiaojiao almost blurted out the words "Valley Master of the Hidden God Valley", and suddenly remembered that Dugu Jiu had told him not to reveal his identity to outsiders at will, so he shook his head, did not answer the other party's question, and asked bluntly: "Do you know Jiao Jiao?"

"... Jiao Jiao?" The young man's tongue rolled and slowly spit out two words. For a moment, he could almost see the hazy water vapor in his dark green eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

He looked at the child with interest, and said, "Aren't you Jiao Jiao? Is it the first time we met, don't you know? It's really a memory like a goldfish."

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the child's eyes lit up again, the beautiful eyes were black and pure, and he asked anxiously: "Then are you a monster?"

"Tsk! You brat!" The young man frowned displeasedly, turned his face away and said, "Didn't your owner teach you that it is the most taboo to ask a woman's age, and it would be even more rude to ask about her race identity?" .”

Mo Jiaojiao became happy after being criticized.

The child didn't speak, but turned around and ran back to Dugu Jiu, threw himself into the man's arms, and whispered anxiously, "Jiujiu, is this the Elder Huaishu? He talks the same as Elder Huaishu."

Dugu Jiu took the child into his arms, turned his head and looked at the young man, his quiet face was solemn and majestic.

After a while, the man ignored the other's shocked and apprehensive eyes, and straight away looked at Mo Jiaojiao, and said in a deep voice, "It's not sure yet. Jiaojiao, there are many similar people in the world."

"But..." Mo Jiaojiao flattened his mouth sadly, grabbed the man's belt with his fingers, and said in a soft voice: "He seems to be like that. Elder Huaishu used to talk to me like this. The owner of the valley said he had a bad mouth. Still There he likes to dress like women."

"Jiaojiao. Although Huaimo is the only monster clan whose face remains unchanged after taking the soul-returning herb, he has white hair all over his head, and the two look different." Dugu Jiu said lightly, "If Jiaojiao likes him , it’s all right to treat him as a playmate. However, as far as the present is concerned, he is not the locust tree demon who raised you, at least, he doesn’t know you. Before going down the mountain, how did I teach you?”

"...You can't call strangers' legs at will." Mo Jiaojiao said aggrievedly with tears.

Dugu Jiu pinched the child's face, and said in a deep voice: "It's a heart-to-heart confession. I also made mistakes when I spoke just now, and put on paint. You should know it, and you must be cautious. This seat does not prohibit you from making friends with him."

"Yeah." Mo Jiaojiao put away her tears, leaned on the man's arms, and was hugged on her legs.

The child simply rested his chin on the man's shoulder and poked his head out to look at Huai Mo.

The young man noticed his gaze, raised his hand and threw a green fruit over, Dugu Jiu took it into his hand, and after confirming that it was all right, he handed it to Mo Jiaojiao.

Shen Siyuan looked at this scene, and said via voice transmission: "Chongrong, let's follow your plan, we will find a way to take him later, and see if the place where Jiao Jiao is going is the same as the place where he came out."

Where Mo Jiaojiao felt familiar and similar, Shen Siyuan had the same feeling, and he didn't think it was an illusion.

***

After lunch, Dugu Jiu left the shop with Mo Jiaojiao in his arms.

The child looked back anxiously, but didn't dare to be too obvious, so he said softly: "Didn't Jiujiu say that he could be a partner with Huaimo?"

"Don't worry. I left a ray of consciousness on him." Dugu Jiu comforted him.

Seeing this, Shen Siyuan joked: "Jiao Jiao has a substitute for an elder, so why don't you want Jiujiu? You're in such a hurry."

"No." Mo Jiaojiao shook his head vigorously, so hard that Shen Siyuan was worried whether the child's slender neck would be sprained.

As if worried that Dugu Jiu would get angry because of this, the child repeated: "No Jiao Jiao. I like Jiu Jiu the most."

As he said that, he was like a cub protecting its food, hugging his arms tightly, buried his face in the man's neck, and hid himself, making Shen Siyuan laugh out of nowhere.

After a while, the three stepped into the market again.

It is obviously not the first time for Dugu Jiu to come here, and he is very familiar with the route in the city. He turned along the four lanes of the East Street and then went straight to a wall. The troughs are close together, and the wall covered with vines splits from the middle, slowly moving to the sides, revealing a dark secret passage.

The man snapped his fingers as he stepped into the secret passage, and the extinguished torch on the wall was re-ignited in the blink of an eye, emitting a dark green light.

Shen Siyuan followed behind and rubbed his arms, disgustedly said: "The territory of the ghost world is still so uncomfortable. Every time I come here, I have a creepy feeling."

Mo Jiaojiao hurriedly turned back to look at the other party, and saw Shen Siyuan's lips were pale and his face was extremely ugly, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with the lamb? Is the lamb afraid of ghosts?"

"Ghosts are not afraid, but the main body of our sect is opposed to yin qi, and it feels uncomfortable when it comes into contact with ghost qi." Shen Siyuan explained and coughed, brows furrowed.

Mo Jiaojiao lowered his head to dig out his storage bracelet, and quickly found a green porcelain vase, handed it to the young man, and said: "This is made by Jiaojiao, it can expel ghost spirits."

Shen Siyuan took it and smelled it, poured out a ball and swallowed it with his head up, and said with a smile, "Why does it smell so much like Qushi Dan?"

"Originally." Mo Jiaojiao replied, "But after the fire in the sky, it's different."

While the two were talking, Dugu Jiu had already led them to the three-way intersection and arrived at their destination.

What appeared in front of my eyes were countless counters that were close together, and the counters were connected into one piece, leading to the dark distance together, and there was a corridor in the middle.

This place is different from the bustling scene of outsiders, but quiet and cold.

The dark green will-o'-the-wisps floated in the air, and there seemed to be many figures standing in front of the counter, but they all had no feet, and their bodies were a little transparent white.

Inside each counter stood a smiling ghost cultivator. Their faces were almost identical with pale and stiff faces. There was always only a smile on their faces. Even the corners of their mouths curled up exactly the same way, and their eyes never blinked. Just staring at you so straightly, letting the suffocating silence spread.

Dugu Jiu looked down at Mo Jiaojiao's reaction, seeing that he was just looking at Guixiu curiously and showed no sign of fear, he felt relieved.

Although Shen Siyuan's complexion was not good-looking, he did not lose his composure.

Only Bie Hejian, who had just come out of the storage bag to let the wind out, was trembling with fright, and before he could say a word, he yelled and got back into the storage bag.

This roar successfully awakened the ghosts who were standing still, and saw them fluttering one after another, but in an orderly manner, they all headed towards the dark place together.

After the ghosts left, the ghost cultivators bowed and said, "Why is your lord dissatisfied with my ghost domain when you come this time?"

Generally speaking, monks will take the initiative to find ghost cultivators, either seeking revenge or causing trouble for no reason.

Dugu Jiu glanced at the empty corridor, and walked straight to the innermost counter.

The ghost cultivator standing there is the youngest one here, and he can even be called a ghost baby.

Dugu Jiu placed the Rumo jade pendant in his hand on the counter, and said: "I don't understand something."

The little ghost cultivator tilted his head, moved the jade pendant to check it again, and said with a smile: "Please exchange an altar of Xisha from the deep sea and five pieces of chalcedony from the northern land. Generally speaking, those who can find us here , It’s basically news that is unknown to the world.”

The man took back the jade pendant, took out what the ghost cultivator requested, pushed it over, and said, "After the fall of the monster clan, is there a way to revive it? Especially the monster clan with the same lifespan as the world."

Ghost Xiu put away the treasures, lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, then slowly raised his eyes, his pupils had already turned crimson, and said:

"There is a secret method, which is rare in the world. Does your lord know the demon god Tuzi who fell seven years ago? When he awakens all his abilities, he will automatically and spontaneously cry out in his dream to call for his tribe. This cry can wear Through the road of Huangquan, bring the lingering ghosts back to the human world, but this is only to bring their spirits back to the human world, they will still slowly dissipate without their demon power."

"Is there no way to completely revive?" Dugu Jiu frowned and asked.

"Yes, if the fallen monsters buried part of their bodies in the human world in advance, then their spirits will return to that part of the body after they return, and come back to life. However, most of the monsters are beasts, unless They can keep their bodies intact, otherwise, most of the time, only the monster race whose body is a plant can be successfully resurrected." Guixiu lowered his head and finished speaking without reservation.

"After resurrection, will there be memories of the past?" Dugu Jiu thought for a moment, then asked again.

"I don't know." Guixiu smiled stiffly, "Resurrecting from the dead is the most unnatural act. Whether the memory of the past can be preserved depends on fate. However, there is one thing I need to remind you. Every big monster in the monster clan falls Afterwards, there will be a human race with exactly the same spirit and soul as them on the front of the continent, who will be born in the place where their bodies are buried."

Guixiu raised his hand and released a little ghost that was exactly the same as himself, saying: "Just like this, this human race will probably have most of the memories of this big monster during his lifetime, except that they are not monsters, they are almost identical. And when the Yaozu is revived, the lifespan of this human race has come to an end, therefore, he will fall into madness, and will try to kill the Yaozu in order to survive."

Dugu Jiu nodded slightly, and said: "I understand."

Guixiu smiled and said: "It's a deal we can't wait to make such a deal with Venerable Chong Rong. However, regarding the question just now, I heard a piece of news that is not very certain, because we can't confirm its authenticity. So I can't tell you."

"This matter is related to the safety of the whole family. Didn't the ghost world forget the battle in the Sword Valley?" Dugu Jiu raised his eyes, his eyes fixed on the ghost Xiu, his deep eyes were clearly quiet, but it made the ghost who was looking at him, In a trance, I almost saw the bloody battlefield.

"The vitality of the ghost world was greatly injured in the battle of the year," Guixiu lowered his head, his voice weakened, and the smile on his face disappeared. In the ghost world, no matter who stays here or flees to the other side of the mainland, they all face the end of death. Therefore, we don't want to join any more wars."

"Even if you can turn the tide, you don't want to take the risk?" Dugu Jiu's voice was low, obviously he was only asking calmly, and he didn't get angry.

However, after hearing his words, Guixiu lowered his head even more, "If the person fighting side by side is Chongrong Jianzun, the ghost world is naturally obliged. If Jianzun hadn't reminded the ghost king to find out the traitors and spies in time, our fate would be the same. It won’t be much better than the monster race. But now, the Hidden God Valley has long since fallen, and the ghost world has also lost half of its troops, and the demon race has retreated to the opposite side of the mainland. With our strength, there is little hope.”

Before Dugu Jiu could speak, Guixiu quickly raised his head to look at Mo Jiaojiao in the man's arms, and said, "Even with the help of Shen Tuzi, it's still the same. Shen Tuzi is the most uncertain factor in this battle."

"Enough." Dugu Jiu looked down at the bent ghost cultivator, and said in a moment: "If no one stands up today, there will be no chance in the future. Rather than being defeated without a fight, I would rather die in battle."

After finishing speaking, the man stopped talking, hugged Mo Jiaojiao across the hesitant Shen Siyuan, and left the corridor.

But Guixiu, who finally straightened his waist, looked at the tall and straight back of the other party, but looked at his companion blankly.

Are they really wrong?

Ghost Xiu squeezed the chalcedony given by the other party, broke free from his companion's shackles and rushed out after a while, and finally stopped the man before he left the secret passage.

He stood in the shadows, bent deeply, and said: "We may be powerless to do what Sword Master Chongrong is going to do now. But what I didn't tell His Excellency just now may be very important to you as well."

"After the Yaozu is resurrected from the dead, the human race who is exactly like him will not only have the idea of ​​​​killing the Yaozu, but will also attack other monsters who have a close relationship with the Yaozu indiscriminately. He is born with the ability to confuse people. As long as you can kill the opponent, you will do anything.

Sword Master, please remember that the place where the human race was born is the place where the monster race is resurrected.If you can't tell them apart, it may not be the revived Yaozu who sacrificed, but the existence that Yaozu cares most about. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Guixiu straightened his waist, quietly glanced at the child in Dugu Jiu's arms, turned around and walked into the darkness.
