Yokai grocery store

Following the drawn path, the two entered the painting hand in hand.

The gravel path dissipated a little as they took a step forward, and finally disappeared completely.A layer of hazy light enveloped the book, and after that, two more people appeared in the peach blossom forest.

As soon as I entered the painting, I felt the fragrance of peach blossoms, which made people drunk even without wine.

Shen Qingzhuo looked sideways at the river next to him. The river was calm and calm, flowing slowly without any splashes. It seemed clear, but it was actually bottomless.

He casually picked up a flower that had fallen on Chi Ming's shoulder, and flicked it onto the water with his fingers.

This flick took some strength, but the soft peach blossom was as hard as a stone.But even so, when it fell into the water, it was silent, without the slightest shock, it was swallowed by the river.

Shen Qingzhuo carefully looked at the water surface.There were only the reflections of the two of them on the water, and the peach blossom trees on the bank, even though their branches reached above the river, did not leave any reflections.

"Weird." Chi Ming muttered.

The peach blossom grove could not see the end, the two walked for a while, and vaguely saw the rocky cave.

The river submerged into the cave, and the cave was dark and gloomy, so it was not clear what was going on.

"...When the water source is exhausted, there is a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light..." Shen Qingzhuo murmured, squinting slightly as he looked at the river.

Chi Ming didn't hear clearly or understand, so he said "ah" in doubt.

Shen Qingzhuo didn't respond to him, but kept thinking.

This peach grove is really reminiscent of "Peach Blossom Spring".It's just that the Wuling people traveled along the river in small boats, and then abandoned the boat to cross the cave... In their current situation, is it possible that they also have to cross by boat?

The wrist trembled slightly, and the Wufang pen reappeared in his hand. Shen Qingzhuo stared at it for a moment, picked up the pen and swiped it in the air, and the white aura turned into a solid body, gradually solidified into the shape of a small boat, floating on the water.

——It is really floating, the bottom of the boat is half a fist away from the water surface, and a thin layer of white light supports the boat, preventing it from contacting the river water.

Shen Qingzhuo originally wanted it to float on the river, but the river water was very strange, the boat would sink involuntarily as soon as it touched the water, as if there was a mysterious force attracting it downward.

The two got into the boat and slowly floated into the narrow cave.

It was very dark in the cave, and you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hands, but neither of them was an ordinary person. With their spiritual consciousness released, what they saw was clearer than daytime.This is just an ordinary cave, with only jagged rocks, without any breath of life.

This river does not know where it leads, and this dark cave does not know where it ends.

Chi Ming sat on the small boat obediently, and became impatient while sitting, so he leaned over and whispered in Shen Qingzhuo's ear: "There is a saying, one hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat..."

After thousands of years of cultivation, we can sleep together.

Before Chi Ming finished the second half of the sentence, Shen Qingzhuo subconsciously added the second half in his mind.

"Hey." Chi Ming thought of something bad, bit Shen Qingzhuo's slightly cold earlobe, and said vaguely: "We have been cultivating for tens of thousands of years, so Tiantian counts how many times he sleeps!"

"..."

I knew he was upright!

Chi Ming pondered for a while, calculating while pondering: "The stack of pamphlets sent by Fenghuang has quite a lot of content, but it's still not enough... we need to find more."

Shen Qingzhuo didn't react for a moment, he was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "What booklet—" Before he finished speaking, he remembered the unscrupulous things that Fenghuang had sent over before, his face sank, and he pinched the pool hard. Someone, "Where did you hide that stuff?"

"I won't tell you." Chi smiled shamelessly, thinking that the pinch was flirting, "Do you want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Speaking of those things, he hasn't practiced any of them yet. Although Xiao Tiantian doesn't reject him getting close, she is always very precious and rarely messes with him. Hey, no, no, I still have to pull him when I find opportunities in the future. Xiao Tiantian "studied hard" together.

He made up his mind and was in a happy mood. He put his arms around Shen Qingzhuo's thin waist and whistled.The whistle echoed in the cave, and gradually spread far away, Chi Ming paused: "I'm going out."

Sure enough, after floating for a while, I saw light.

The boat carried the two of them fluttering through the long cave to another world.

The bright sun was falling, and the smoke was curling from the chimneys of the houses not far away. Occasionally, there were three or two voices, shouting, some men and some women.

Going ashore by boat, looking around, this time it is really similar to what was described in "Peach Blossom Spring", houses, farmland, many men and women are busy, men are working in the field, women are working at home, watching It seems to be a harmonious scene.

The two of them were not in a hurry to talk to each other, they just stood aside, looking at everything in front of them.

These people are dressed in different clothes. The men working in the fields wear white shirts and black suit pants, which are already covered with mud and dirty. The women who walk in and out of the house wear beautiful long skirts. All covered with dust.

But they didn't care, the smiles on their faces seemed to be full of happiness.

For some reason, there is a subtle sense of harmony and disobedience just looking at it.

Chi Ming looked at them for a while, saw their appearance clearly, and said in a low voice: "These seem to be..."

"...the lost souls."

"Huh, did you see it?" Chi Ming didn't know much about souls. He only briefly looked through the files of those people who lost their souls and comatose in the Special Administration Bureau. There were photos in the files, which he memorized.

"Look at that woman." Shen Qingzhuo didn't answer, but slightly raised her chin in a certain direction as a gesture.

A woman in a long skirt just walked out of the yard and splashed dirty water in a basin, and turned around to show her face—isn't this the woman who left the book with the painting of peach blossom forest when she came to the grocery store just now?

The woman also saw them, was stunned, and immediately shouted: "Hey! Who are you?"

Her expression now is quite different from that in the grocery store just now, where she was stammering and dull, but here she is lively and lively like an ordinary person, holding a basin in one hand, and with the other on her hip, looking at the two of them suspiciously.

Shen Qingzhuo pointed to the small boat floating on the river.

The woman suddenly realized, she smiled warmly: "Ah, they are from outside. You have come to the right place, our place is very good."

"Really..." Shen Qingzhuo looked around pretending to be puzzled, showing just the right amount of confusion, "Here is...?"

Before the woman could answer, a hoarse male voice suddenly came from the room: "Xiaojie? Xiaojie——hey! Help dig out the jar of wine at the top of the tree!"

"Hey——" the woman called Xiaojie responded, raised her hands on her hips and waved at the two of them, "Come and sit down?"

……

The woman put the pot aside, took out a small hoe to dig the soil under the tree, and soon dug out a jar of wine.She wiped off the soil on the edge of the jar neatly, stood up with her hands, and beckoned them to enter the house together.

There were two men standing by the table in the room, busy with something, when they heard someone coming in, they shouted without raising their heads: "Hurry up, bring the wine!"

The woman responded.

When he got closer, he realized that these two people were tossing about something around a wine jar.There was a strong smell of wine in the wine jar, and one of them was holding a black ball in his hand and was stuffing it into the jar vigorously.

But the thing happened to be a little bigger than the mouth of the altar, and the man couldn't get it in after stuffing it for a long time.

"Hiss." Impatiently, he threw the black thing onto the table with a bang.

It was a tortoise the size of two fists. Its head was retracted, but its limbs and tail protruded. It stood there stiffly, not knowing whether it was alive or dead.When it was thrown on the table, it was turned upside down and spun a few times like a spinning top.

The man said: "Don't be an iron-clad bastard, right? It's hard like this."

The other man just laughed, and casually said in a hoarse voice: "If it can't be inserted, its limbs will be chopped off."

"Makes sense."

These words were quickly echoed. At first, the man holding the tortoise took out a sharp knife and was about to pick up the tortoise and chop off its limbs.

The tortoise probably felt that the danger was approaching, and suddenly woke up, kicked its limbs as stiff as a stone, and turned over.Its head was still retracted, but its body was extremely flexible, and it even ran very fast. Before the two men could react for a moment, it crawled to the edge of the table.

With one foot in the air, it fell down, rolled to Chi Ming's feet, and then lay on its back on the ground again, without moving.

Chi Ming stared at it for a moment, then bent down to pick it up.
