Because Liu Zian's foot injury was not healed, Mr. Baohe and his party suspended their plan to travel west and stayed at Wushan Hostel.Maybe because they are both women, there seems to be endless topics between Fang Xue and the proprietress, and they became friends after coming and going.

On this day, the weather was just right, and the two met in the yard to make cornel sachets together.

"It is inevitable that we will encounter some unclean things along the way. Bringing this dogwood sachet can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and bless you all have a safe journey." The proprietress said, taking the colored threads into the yard, "Axue, you Can you make sachets?"

"Why not?" Fang Xue smiled playfully, "The first female celebrity I made was a sachet."

"It seems that I have met an expert." The proprietress joked.

"Your words will kill me. With you here, I wouldn't dare to fight against others." Fang Xue said modestly with a blushing face.

"It's not necessarily true that it's all about making an axe." The proprietress flipped through the rags in the small bamboo basket and said, "If the workmanship is not good, how can you give the sachet as a token of love?"

Fang Xue touched the sachet hanging on her waist, lowered her head, with a look of nostalgia on her face: "Since I was a child, no matter what I made for him, he never thought I was poor in craftsmanship. Put it away happily, and treasure it like a treasure.”

"That's the truth." The proprietress squinted her eyes, threading needles while agreeing, "I think my husband was the same way back then, no matter what weird things I gave him, he would keep them as treasures."

"Husband?" Fang Xue recalled in a daze that the proprietress seemed to have said that she had married someone, "Speaking of which, proprietress, you are a god, right? Isn't it said in the legend that humans and gods cannot love each other?" , she bit the embroidery thread with her teeth and tied a slipknot at the end.

"Is there such a rule? However, there are indeed many ghosts and elves who are unwilling to deal with humans. After all, most of the human lifespans are too short. For some long-lived species, kung fu friends who sleep for a while will die. How sad Ah." The proprietress thought for a while and said, "By the way, what are you going to embroider?"

"Peach blossoms... It is said that peach trees ward off evil spirits." Fang Xue replied after hesitating.To be honest, she really wanted to embroider snow lotus in her heart. After all, when Swiss Lang wrote to her, he had mentioned this flower repeatedly.However, since she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know what the snow lotus looked like, she could only give up.

"Oh, you haven't told the love story between you and your husband yet." Fang Xue said with a smile, "I almost let you fool me."

"There's nothing to say, Zuo Heng just fell in love. It's just that my lifespan is longer and his lifespan is shorter." The proprietress said with a light smile, with a calm expression on her face.

"Did you only love this one person?" Fang Xue asked.After all, the lifespan of a mountain ghost is so long, it should be normal to have several relationships.

"How about a few more?" The proprietress gave her a sideways look, and asked, "And I look like an old woman, who still thinks of me?"

"Then why do you look like an old woman?" Fang Xue didn't understand, why would she appear in front of everyone with such an old and decrepit look when she could keep herself young forever?

"This..." the old woman paused, with a look of nostalgia on her face, and said, "I used to have the appearance of a girl for tens of thousands of years, but after meeting him, everything is different... You know, A person’s lifespan is very short, and he will grow old soon. When I was with him, I would refer to his appearance every once in a while, and quietly change my appearance, in order to be able to live with him forever. Old. Later, when he passed away, I can no longer remember how I was when I was young... This house was the home of the two of us back then."

"That's it..." Fang Xue was overwhelmed with emotion after hearing the story of the proprietress, and accidentally pricked her finger, staining the sachet with blood.

The peach blossoms are blooming redder...

"well enough?"

Fang Xue shook her head, a strong uneasiness suddenly felt in her heart, as if a hand was holding her heart tightly, making her almost breathless.

"Peach blossoms stained with blood is a bad omen." Fang Xue lowered her head and said in a low voice.

The proprietress was silent.After a while, she said as if she had made up her mind, "Why don't I come and take a look for you."

"Look?" Fang Xue looked at the proprietress with teary eyes, a little confused.

"I can try to look for it for you, but after all, the distance is too far, so we may not be able to find it." The proprietress didn't dare to talk too much, after all, according to their description, the Emerald Palace is probably a demon house.

"Although we can't go together, we might as well take a look at whose house it is, so we can help make preparations." The proprietress thought inwardly.

"Thank you Madam Boss." After speaking, Fang Xue was about to bow down.

The proprietress hurriedly stopped her, and said with a smile: "Thank you, but I have to come back to fulfill my wish. I have traveled thousands of miles, and it would be troublesome to think about it. If you want to thank me, please help me look at that Liu Zian, and don't let him do anything. Here come the moths."

Fang Xue didn't know why the proprietress asked her to watch Liu Zian.In her opinion, Liu Zian is just an ordinary young man from a rich family, the kind who can't be found in the crowd.Moreover, with Mr. Baohe following, what trouble could Liu Zian cause?

However, despite being full of doubts, Fang Xue nodded in agreement.

"Wen Li." The proprietress called, "Bring the tea I made earlier."

Fang Xue looked around, but there was no one.

"Can he hear it?"

"Yes, this kid's ears are very good."

Sure enough, after a while Wenli came out with a blue cloth bag, took out a tin can and three teacups from it, and placed them neatly on the stone table in the yard, then returned to the kitchen and picked them up again. Take a clean grate and boil water.

"Go and sit over there." The proprietress pointed to the stone table over there, got up and said.

Fang Xue followed closely behind.

I saw Wenli pour the powdered tea in the tin can into the sand pot, cover the pot, listen carefully to the sound of water in the pot, and after less than half a moment, he lifted the lid and took out a wooden handle. Gently stirred the tea with a long made spoon, then covered it again, removed the sand pot from the fire, and nodded to the proprietress.

"Ma'am, what kind of tea is this? It smells so good!" Fang Xue sniffed vigorously and said intoxicated.I don't know why, my stomach is full of worries, but after smelling the fragrance of tea, I feel that those things are nothing to worry about.

The proprietress didn't answer her question, but just exchanged places with Wenli, and a long spoon of invisible material appeared in her hand, and she tapped the water surface, causing several layers of ripples.

Fang Xue held her breath and stared intently at the landlady's hand and the Sha Cho in front of her.

"God bless, we must succeed!" Fang Xue prayed secretly in her heart.

"Taiji Hunyuan, two appearances and four images, one water to see the sky, all phenomena..." Following her words, the soup patterns gradually revealed objects.

"How many things have been added to this mountain?" The proprietress asked, and then a drop of water jumped out of the water, which was in the shape of a small fish...

"Now it has attained enlightenment...Wenli, later on you ask Chibao to prepare some gifts for it." The proprietress laughed.

Wenli took the order and said yes.

"Are there any visitors recently?" the proprietress then asked.The "fish" fell back into the water, and three blurred figures appeared on the water surface, swaying a few times, and then disappeared until only a few ripples remained.

Fang Xue was amazed.

The proprietress smiled, dipped the water surface with a spoon, and asked, "Where is the guest going?"

The water surface was still for a moment, then trembled violently, and many images appeared in just a few breaths.The proprietress frowned, looking a little heavy.

"I don't know who is disturbing?" The proprietress asked again, following her words, a ferocious monster jumped up from the water.

Fang Xue couldn't help but let out an "oops", as if she was taken aback.

But after the water pattern dispersed, the monster disappeared.

The proprietress stared at the water for a while, sighed, poured the tea into a tea bowl, handed it to Fang Xue and said, "Drink."

"Thank you, lady boss." Fang Xue took the tea bowl and took a sip, but found that the tea was not as delicious as she imagined.

"Do you have to go?" The proprietress asked in a deep voice.

Fang Xue nodded lightly when she heard the words, and said, "No matter what, I must go."

The proprietress shook her head and said nothing more.

"Why are you all here?" At this moment, Mr. Baohe supported Liu Zian and came downstairs, "Didn't Chi Bao say that dinner is ready?"

"The meal is ready..." The proprietress exchanged glances with Wenli, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

Could it be that the red leopard sneaked in while no one was in the kitchen...

"What's the matter?" Mr. Baohe asked when he saw that the expressions of the two were not right.

"Chibao, the craftsmanship is not very good." The proprietress explained as tactfully as possible.

"No, the porridge he brought me last time was delicious!" Liu Zian objected to this. In his opinion, although Chibao's food is relatively simple, it still tastes good.

"You ate the food made by the red leopard?!" Wenli said in surprise, with an indescribable expression on his face.

"That's right." Liu Zian was shocked when he saw them like this, but he still answered truthfully.

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

"Anyway, let's go there first." The proprietress looked at the sky and said, "Anyway, it's still early, and there's still time for another meal."

Everyone nodded and said yes, and walked towards the dining room together.

"Wow! It's so rich!" Liu Zian swept the table and exclaimed, his eyes sparkled, "It's really full of delicacies from mountains and seas!"

"Ah?!" Mr. Baohe was taken aback, thinking, this is obviously a messy thing on the table.

A large bowl of chrysalis, a large plate of wriggling live earthworms, a large bowl of dead frogs, a plate of severed lizard tails, and a small plate of sticky insect eggs... Mr. Baohe thinks it is a shame to see these things and not spit them out. Well, how can it be regarded as a delicacy?

"It does look delicious." Fang Xue picked up an earthworm from the plate and put it into her mouth as she spoke. "This dish is so fresh and delicious! It feels like my tongue is dancing."

Mr. Baohe looked at Fang Xue with a little horror, while the proprietress and Wenli had indescribable expressions on their faces.

"Yes, yes." Chi Bao excitedly filled Liu Zian with a bowl of maggots and handed it to him, while Liu Zian dug a large spoonful and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

"It's obviously delicious." Liu Zian didn't understand why the proprietress and the others said Chibao's craftsmanship was not good.

"Chibao, how many times have I told you that this kind of food cannot be eaten by customers!" the proprietress reprimanded, "Hurry up and take it away!"

"But the guests think it's delicious!" Chi Bao retorted unconvinced, feeling very wronged in his heart.

"That's right, proprietress, even though Chibao is small, the food he makes is still delicious." After speaking, Liu Zian ate another spoonful of maggots.

"Don't eat it yet!" Mr. Baohe felt his scalp numb when he saw Liu Zian eating maggots, so he grabbed the bowl from his hand and put it on the table.

"Why are you so angry?" Liu Zian muttered dissatisfied.However, since the other party was Mr. Baohe, he didn't say anything excessive.

"Hurry up and undo your spell. If the customer still says it's delicious, I'll let you keep it." The proprietress said.

Red Leopard hesitated.However, because he firmly believed that what he made was delicious, he unlocked the spell.

However, he clearly overestimated his craft.

The moment the spell was unlocked, Fang Xue fainted when she saw the food on the table.On the other hand, Liu Zian's complexion changed suddenly, and he limped and rushed to the door to vomit wildly, as if he was about to spit out bile.

"Is it really that bad?" Chi Bao murmured, with a very hurt expression on his face.
