When Xi Mengcai landed, he realized that the atmosphere around him was completely different from other places. Through the faint light, he could see a winding stone path leading to the mountain at the foot of the rockery. However, there was a cold wind blowing around him, making him tremble all over.
In the drizzle, although there was barely enough light from a lantern, the visibility was probably too low, so she did not dare to move forward rashly.
She shined a lantern in front of her eyes, tried her best to open her eyes wide, took a deep breath and was about to take a step forward, when she suddenly heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from the mountain, which frightened her feet and almost tripped her feet.
"Who? Who's there?" Shi Meng shouted loudly towards the front of the stone path, trying to embolden herself.
Unexpectedly, the place she was in was wrapped by a stone wall. Holding on to the stone wall, she could only hear the echo of her own words and heavy breathing, and even the "thumping" sound of her little heart could be clearly heard.
That laughter seemed to be an auditory hallucination that she had heard and had nowhere to follow.
She leaned against the stone wall and panted heavily. She always felt a cool feeling coming from her neck, and her eyelids twitched. She had always been timid and afraid of the dark, and she gradually became afraid.
He closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, and murmured to himself: "Like a dream, like a dream, you have two thousand years of practice, but even if you have been compromised in the human world, you still have three to five hundred years left at least?!
Since you volunteered to catch the monster, and you haven’t even seen the monster’s face yet, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing to just go back like this?”
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown, opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with firmness and determination. She raised the lantern and hit the stone wall with her left hand: "Monster, please show yourself soon! I have to use violence."
The means are not enough?"
"whee……"
There was another chuckle, and she suppressed the fear in her heart. She followed the laughter and saw a burst of red smoke suddenly rising in front of her eyes. She was so frightened that she immediately dropped the lantern, screamed and ran away with her head in her arms.
She was just running and didn't pay attention to the approaching figure in front of her. She bumped into the person's arms and the tip of her nose was hit so hard that she felt sour and almost shed tears.
"Meng'er? Are you okay?" The person's voice was low and magnetic. It was Mu Zili.
Shi Meng heard his voice and felt as if she had seen a savior. She held on to his clothes tightly and leaned against him without daring to raise her eyes, "Mu Mu, you are here! You scared me to death just now. I
As soon as I entered, I heard a strange laugh, it was so scary..."
Mu Zili looked down at her, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and his words were incoherent. He was obviously frightened. The hand that was hanging by his side couldn't help but put his hand on her shoulder and patted her gently, "She is just a little girl who is still in the cultivation of immortality."
Demon, Meng'er, don't be afraid!"
Hearing this, Shi Meng raised her head, took a few steps away from his arms, and looked at Mu Zili suspiciously, "You didn't lie to me? But..." She recalled what she had just met on the stone path.
Everything is in chaos in my mind.
His arms were empty, his expression was sluggish, and then he slowly shook his head, "Meng'er, why bother to take action personally? I have to deal with such trivial matters..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xi Meng suddenly came forward and said, "Of course I know the strength of you and Chongchong, but... you just said that they are just little monsters, I can definitely handle it. You better not waste your souls at will.
The strength lies in such small things!"
At the end, she added, "Mumu, just pretend you didn't see what happened just now, and don't mention it to anyone else."
She also hopes that this time catching the demon will bring her fame and fortune! What if others know that she is so timid and fearful?
Mu Zili saw that her face was slightly pale, and he was really frightened when he thought about it. He turned around and glanced at the two lights on the corridor in the distance. They were Yifeng and Gongbo Longhai who were still waiting.
After Xi Meng left just now, he felt really uneasy, so he followed her secretly, hoping to help her secretly. Unexpectedly, she entered the stone path for a moment, and before the little demon showed up, she was so frightened that she ran out.
.
"Meng'er, let's stop here for tonight! Go back and rest first!"
Mu Zili's proposal was exactly what she wanted. A stormy night was really not conducive to her performance. It would be more appropriate to catch monsters under a clear sky.
So, he said "Yeah!" and followed Mu Zili's footsteps towards the corridor.
Under the pillars, Yi Feng was pacing back and forth worriedly. If he hadn't known that Mu Zili was secretly protecting her, how would he have trusted her to go alone.
But even so, when he heard her scream just now, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, for fear that something might happen to her.
Seeing her unscathed and slowly returning with Mu Zili, her heart that was hanging in the air finally dropped.
"Dream girl! Have you found any traces of that evildoer?" Gongbo Longhai was a little anxious and wanted to know the outcome of her trip.
Shi Meng raised her eyes and glanced at Yifeng, then turned her gaze to Gong Bo Long Hai and said: "Master, don't be anxious, that monster is very cunning and cannot be captured by ordinary magic. I still need to be well prepared.
Only then can you hit it with one blow."
"Oh?! I wonder what the girl needs? Just talk to Long Hai, and Long Hai will order someone to prepare everything!" Gong Bo Long Hai asked, cupping his hands.
"This..." Xi Meng was slightly startled and said casually: "What I need are some very professional things. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. If I make the wrong purchase then, it won't ruin my life."
?Well, let me do the shopping in person tomorrow, and you can just give me an advance of silver!"
Xi Meng thought to himself that he originally came here just to make money, and now he can get a little bit first.
Gongbo Long Hai was stunned when he heard this, and then he held up his hands and apologized, "What Miss Meng said is true! It's true! Long Hai is reckless! Please rest well tonight. Long Hai will order someone to bring the silver to you early tomorrow morning.
!”
"Haha! It's easy to talk!" Simeng also imitated his behavior and grinned.
Early the next morning, Gongbo Longhai indeed kept his promise and asked someone to deliver the silver. Xi Meng looked at the white silver and smiled from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
If there were no outsiders present, she would have put all the money into her arms.
But now, she still had to pretend to regard money as dirt, glanced at the money, and said to the man: "Okay, the money has also been delivered. Go back and tell your master that at a quarter of noon today,
If I open an altar in the garden and practice magic, the evildoer will be captured without any help!"
After the man left in response, Simeng turned around and smiled, saying: "Let's go shopping with this girl!"
Both Mu Zili and Yifeng looked surprised, not knowing the meaning of her words. However, Caixi saw her beaming when she spoke and thought she was going to fight with someone.
"Why are you like this? Didn't you agree to catch monsters for me? You accepted so much money from me, but you still want to go out to fight in the street?" Cai Xi's words just fell, and she hugged her belly with a smile as if she was dreaming and couldn't stand up.
body.
"You... haha... do you think I am a cunning girl? Going to the street to kill people? Fool! Let's go! You are indispensable!" Simeng said and put his hand on her shoulder, and then gave it to Yifeng.
He winked at Mu Zili and asked them to follow him.
Caixi pouted her little mouth and twisted her body reluctantly, "Huh! I'm not stupid!" While resisting, her eyes widened and she asked curiously: "But... is it really beneficial? You are now
With so much silver, I can certainly buy a lot of roast chicken and roast duck. How about we go to a big restaurant in town and have a big meal first?"
This girl is already frothing at the mouth when she talks about eating.
Xi Meng tilted his head and looked at her, and said with a smile: "That's all you have ambitions for? Haha! No problem, I'll keep it until you vomit! Let's go! It's getting late!"
The group of people chatted and laughed before leaving the uncle's mansion, crossing the stone arch bridge and returning to the busiest street along the same path they came yesterday.
