Lanke Chess Edge

After Ji Yuan sat down by the fire, they briefly introduced themselves to each other, and roughly reported their names and hometowns.

Ji Yuan did not dare to say that he ran all the way madly. He used the excuse that he and the merchant team were separated at a fork in the road due to different destinations, and he accidentally took the wrong road afterwards.

Even the eyes were blinded to make Ji Yuan's eyes look more normal, otherwise wouldn't it be scary to run so far in the mountains with a half-blind self?

The hunters were obviously not very interested in how Ji Yuan went astray, but asked about the situation of Chunhui Mansion.

"Has Mr. Da ever been to the big ship of Chunhui Mansion? We have been there twice and have never been on it. There is also the Qianrichun in the garden shop. I heard that it is a wine recipe brewed by the emperor. It is delicious. It's the same as fairy wine!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Da looks so elegant, he must have built a boat and drank a thousand days of spring, right?"

Ji Yuan also laughed when he heard it.

"I'm afraid everyone is mistaken. How could it be possible for the Emperor Dazhen to make the wine himself? It's just because the wine aroused the emperor's joy back then, so he gave the wine name and a plaque."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

"That's right, how can the emperor make wine for others to drink!"

Ji Yuan waited for them to finish before continuing.

"I have never sat in this boat, but I have tasted Qian Richun. The taste is really like the name of the wine, and the sweetness is like spring lingering on the tongue."

It's not like he didn't think about giving the four of them a taste of the remaining half of the pot of wine, but in this kind of wilderness, strangers give wine to others, and as a vigilant hunter, he doesn't want to drink it or not, okay? It's easier to get along better, it's better not to cause embarrassment in vain.

Several people shared their longing for Qianrichun and the prosperous place of Chunhui Mansion, and also talked with Ji Yuan about the current situation of Chunhui Mansion.

As a hunter in the countryside, even if there are goods, I will go to the county to sell them. Only when there are really big goods in the real year, I have only been to Fucheng once or twice.

During the conversation, when the chicken and rabbit meat were cooked, Orion took a knife and cut off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ji Yuan. After eating, the atmosphere on both sides became more harmonious.

At this time, Ji Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the situation of the man named Fang Qiu, who was the one who asked to stay.

"Brother Fang, I see that your eyes are swollen and black. Haven't you had a good rest recently?"

In fact, several hunters are a little tired, how can they sleep peacefully in the mountains, and their fate is just an excuse.

"Hey, Mr. is right. Recently, I always feel unable to sleep and have nightmares when I fall asleep. It's been more than a month. My mother was worried that I caused something dirty, so she went to the temple to ask for beads. And lost it."

"He just doesn't have a wife!"

There was Orion teasing on the side.

"Go, go, it's amazing that you have a wife?"

"It's really amazing, hehehe!"

Apparently, the hunters had a good relationship, and they started to make a fuss while teasing, and the man who made fun of Fang Qiu then said that he would help him find a matchmaker.

Only then did Ji Yuan realize that this man named Fang Qiu was only in his twenties, but he looked like he was thirty.

"Can you tell Ji what he saw in his nightmare? Although Ji is not good at interpreting dreams, he has always been very interested."

Ji Yuan waited for the others to finish the quarrel and still asked Fang Qiu about it, but the latter didn't take it seriously.

"Nightmare is like that. It's either a monster or a ghost. Anyway, I woke up in a cold sweat after being frightened, and it faded during the day."

"Oh, that's it... Are the things in the dream different every time?"

Hearing Ji Yuan's question, Fang Qiu recalled it carefully.

"Mostly I forgot, but it seems that sometimes I can see a pair of bloodshot green eyes..."

Ji Yuan frowned, noticing that Fang Qiu had goosebumps on his exposed arms when he said this.

"Brother Fang, did you go to the Town God's Temple to worship?"

"City God's Temple? Our Qingshui County is so small, but there is no Town God's Temple. There is only a Earth Temple and a Woshan Temple. I went to Woshan Temple to worship Mingwang Buddha."

There is no Chenghuang Temple!

Ji Yuan's brows also frowned. Indeed, many small counties do not have city gods. The reason is that there have never been any big figures who can be remembered. Build the Temple of the City God.

Since the City God's Yin Division rarely crosses the border, these counties without a City God are mostly under the control of the City God. It's good to take a trip, and it's conceivable how hard it is to control it.

The so-called Buddhist temples are actually more worrying, not because the Dharma is weak, but because there are very few temples with true Dharma.

In this world, there is no Tiangong Xuanxian and no Buddhas of the heavens. Most of the Buddha statues in the temples are the statues of eminent monks and kings who have been widely spread. , all over the world, even if the eminent monk Ming Wang has more incarnations, it is not enough.

Talking for a long time had no results, and Ji Yuan had to put it down for the time being.

When the night fell and the night was quiet, Ji Yuan, who was sleeping by the fire, opened his eyes, looked at the sleepy Orion, and looked at Fang Qiu, who was drenched in sweat. Asking for a little forehead, the latter's expression quickly calmed down.

'It's a pity I can't sleep yet. '

...

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Yuan followed Orion to check several traps. Although he only caught one roe, it was not nothing at all.

After everything was tidied up, the few people took Ji Yuan and walked towards home together, and arrived at the fork in the road where they could see their village around noon.

Strictly speaking, this village is still in the mountains. From a distance, there are only roads leading to the outside world, and it doesn't look like there are fields around. I don't know if all the villagers are hunters or the fields are on the other side.

Several people stood at the fork in the road, Fang Qiu simply pointed out the way to Ji Yuan, after all, Ji Yuan was in a hurry to go to Qingshui County.

"Mr. Ji, you can see the official road four or five miles east along this road, and then go south along the official road. You will be able to reach Qingshui County before dark."

"Well, thank you for taking care of me, but Ji wants to go to the village to buy a farm lunch. Is it convenient?"

Naturally, Ji Yuan would not just leave at this time.

"There's nothing convenient or inconvenient, just go to my house to eat!"

"Yes, Mr. Ji can also come to my house!"

"What's the trouble, let's go together, isn't this roe deer meat just right?"

"Let's go, let's go back!"

"Okay, then Ji will interrupt!"

"Hey, why are you so polite, it's rare to come to someone who is knowledgeable!"

The hunters were very enthusiastic and rushed to the village with their fate.

Entering the mountain village, Ji Yuan tried to observe the surroundings as much as possible.

The scale of this mountain village is larger than Ji Yuan imagined, and there are residents in every corner. It is said that there are more than two hundred families.

Perhaps it was because the area was too large and scattered, and there was no wall surrounding the village, but every household had fences or earthen walls. When the four of them came back from hunting, many people came out to watch the excitement. They heard that Ji Yuan was a learned man, and they all greeted him warmly.

The original lunch was bustlingly prepared at an Orion's house named Ding Xing. In the afternoon, it became a dinner party. The four families ate together in the Orion's yard. The main course was roe deer meat.

Under the warm atmosphere, Ji Yuan took out the treasured Qian Richun wine, and went directly to half of it under a small cup for each person. A few people felt that they had more face, and felt that bragging would be more talkative in the future.

By the time the crowd dispersed after drinking and eating, the sky had already started to darken, several families invited Ji Yuan to stay temporarily, so he naturally went to Fang Qiu's house where only mother and son depended on each other.

As the mother and son of the Fang family walked on the dark village road, Ji Yuan took a step behind and looked at them carefully. The red light outside Fang Qiu's life fire had covered a layer of black air, and although his mother's life fire was weak Some are not so filthy.

"Meow~~~~~~~"

A shrill cat meow sounded from the side, Ji Yuan turned his head to look, there was a black cat lying on the roof over there, it had no evil spirit, just an ordinary animal.

The Fang family is just a very ordinary family in the village, and it is not simple in comparison. There is a two-room main house, a side room and a firewood room, and Ji Yuan lives in the side room temporarily.

In the dead of night.

"Meow ~~"

"Meow~~"

"Oh~~"

...

A meow sounded, and Ji Yuan, who was already in a light sleep, opened his eyes at once, sat up and looked towards the main house through the half-open window.

There were at least a dozen wild cats and domestic cats squatting on the roof. They were all ordinary animals, but Ji Yuan felt his scalp tingling. He resisted the pain and gradually opened his eyes to 70%. In the window of the room, there was a small burst of gloomy greenness at some point.

'What the hell! '

Ji Yuan sat up quietly, stretched out his middle finger and lightly dipped a drop of lamp oil on the oil lamp in the house, the mana penetrated into the oil on his fingertips, then clasped his fingers and middle thumbs together, and flicked towards Fang's main house.

Whoosh~

Oil droplets flew into the main house silently, right in the middle of the oil lamp in the house.

"Boom~"

The oil lamp splashed at least twenty drops of lamp oil that suddenly disappeared, and in a strange slow motion, it slowly flew out of the lamp and flew around the house.

Seeing that the combination of martial arts and Yushui worked, Ji Yuan squinted his eyes, opened the fire pocket and blew lightly on the tiny sparks, and then he was covered in his sleeves.

And when Ji Yuan stretched out his left hand from his sleeve again, he wiped a little black ash with sparks on his hand, but under the effect of cover-up, he couldn't see the fire.

Knowing only four spells, it is natural to use them to perfection by all means.

"Huh~~"

With a light blow, a handful of black coal ash hiding sparks flew out of the side room, and dispersed into the main room of the Fang family after about three breaths.

Ji Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the fire in the artistic conception pill furnace suddenly rose, and the gray eyes seemed to flash a flash of fire.

"Boom~~"

The main house of the Fang family burst into flames in an instant.

"ah----"

A creepy and terrifying scream sounded, and the dark green air entangled with the flames overflowed the window and fled away.

"Hmph! But Er Er, is it really a murder of someone?"
