Before Jiang Ning could finish what he said, Wu Shiyi grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, smiling and saying: "Eat it, it's delicious. Last time I came alone, my mother-in-law was not willing to stew one for me." "This time I'm taking advantage of you."
As he spoke, Wu Shiyi put the grass on his knees, then carefully put the red lumps on it into a bowl, and crushed them into mud with stones. Suddenly, there was a pungent smell.
The air spurted out from the bowl.
After smelling the smell, Wu Shiyi was satisfied again and grabbed the smallest stewed rat from the bamboo basket, dipping it in the red mud and eating it.
It looks as if it tastes as fragrant as it tastes.
Jiang Ning: "..."
I have seen dogs, but never such a dog!
He finally understood why Wu Shiyi had to get this chili-like thing every time, and even he couldn't eat it himself.
The old woman smiled happily when she saw the delicious food he ate, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have softened a lot at this moment.
"You are all young guys, eat more. I'm old and can't eat that much. One of them can satisfy me." As she said that, she pushed the remaining two to Jiang and Ning.
When Wu Shiyi heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's great. Every time I leave Guiji City, I miss having another bite of this stuff." He looked at Jiang Ning who hadn't eaten yet.
He raised the red mud sauce in the bowl and said, "Would you like some?"
Jiang Ning, who was gagged by the fat rat, was full of reluctance, but was moved to tears when he heard this.
"I want it, I want it!"
The moment Wu Shi stuffed meat into his mouth just now, Jiang Ning almost jumped out.
No matter how fragrant the stew was, he couldn't resist the nightmarish smell the moment he entered his mouth.
Jiang Ning didn't know how he finished eating the two stewed rats. Maybe it was because of the spicy red mud sauce that made people numb their scalp.
"Mother-in-law, I've spent so much money on you, I'm full with these two." Jiang Ning forced a smile.
He understood why Wu Shiyi kept interrupting him. He obviously didn't like eating, but he deliberately showed that he liked eating very much.
Rat meat, which is disgusting in the eyes of others, is the best food that the old woman guarding the tomb in Guiji City can offer to entertain guests!
Wu Shiyi next to him looked at him in surprise and said nothing, but his expression was obviously much gentler towards Jiang Ning than before.
"I know two young men can eat it. Come on tomorrow, old lady, I will catch a few live ones and eat fresh ones. It will have a different taste." The old woman said while putting away the bowls and chopsticks.
It can be seen that she is really happy today.
When the two young men next to them heard this, they all jumped up and almost vomited out everything they had just eaten.
A night without words.
Early the next morning, Jiang Ning couldn't wait to enter the ghost gate.
It's not that he desperately wants to improve his strength, it's just to avoid the pain of eating rat meat.
At his request, his mother-in-law took the two of them to another street without stopping.
The street is cold and lonely, and occasionally the wind blows, knocking over the rotten doors and windows on both sides, making a harsh clanking sound.
After a while, the three of them came to the door of a mansion.
In the Gaomen Courtyard, there was a plaque with half of it missing. Jiang Ning stared at it for a long time before he could barely understand the meaning.
City Lord's Mansion.
This is so rotten... After following my mother-in-law in, I walked around the stone screen and walked through the entrance hall. What I saw was a meeting hall with eight doors.
The eight doors in the hall are tightly closed. There are big red lanterns hanging on the left and right of the two central doors. The lanterns are also covered with the word "Dian" cut out of white paper.
It looks very inconsistent and gives people a creepy feeling.
"This is the Ghost Gate Formation." The old woman stopped and looked at the closed meeting hall in front of her. "After entering, you will see the formation made of solid stones. You can sit down and sit cross-legged in the formation.
, just come out when you hear someone calling you."
Is this... so simple?
Jiang Ning blinked his eyes and said to Wu Shi, who was watching the fun: "Don't forget what I told you. If you encounter that guy, you should turn around and run. Run as fast as you can, and don't give him a chance to see you.
”
Jiang Ning originally felt relieved after a night of what turned Guiji City into a ghost town, but when Wu Shiyi reminded him, the fear suddenly came back.
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Xiao Shiyi, your heart is not bad, but your mouth offends people." After that, she comforted Jiang Ning and said: "If you really can't outrun it, stop and see what it is.
It’s like my death was not in vain.”
Jiang Ning: "..."
If you want to be distinguished in front of others, you have to suffer behind others.
Even if Jiang Ning does not enter the ghost gate, his cultivation in the late Fengchu realm does not have much chance of winning against the chief Zhao Yuan of Dzogchen. Moreover, with Zhao Yuan's character, he will definitely have a life-or-death conflict with him due to old scores.
Clean everything up than above.
If you can't beat him then, and he accidentally kills you, then you will really be unlucky to open the door and meet your unlucky mother, and you will be completely unlucky.
Give it your all!
He gritted his teeth, and under the teasing looks of Wu Shiyi and the old woman, he walked to the door with his head turned three times.
As soon as his hands were pressed against the door, there was a biting coldness in his palms, and this coldness followed the meridians of his arms and went straight to Jiang Ning's body.
When he was walking around, he was like a poisonous snake clinging to his body, making his skin crawl wherever he passed.
He trembled, not daring to stay any longer, and immediately opened the door and went in.
There are no tables, chairs or benches in the meeting hall. The rows of red candles on both sides flicker, but they cannot bring any warmth to people.
On the ground in the center of the hall, there is a ring surrounded by strange stones, each of which is engraved with cinnabar-smeared seal characters.
This is the formation that my mother-in-law said!
At this moment, the door was slammed shut by an invisible force, frightening Jiang Ning so much that he jumped three feet high and almost cursed her.
After calming down, he walked to the center of the formation and sat down cross-legged with hesitation.
Before he came in, the old woman didn't say what she wanted Jiang Ning to do after he sat down. Naturally, Jiang Ning didn't dare to move. He could only sit on the ground obediently and listen to the movements outside with a tense expression.
"Can you improve your strength by just doing nothing?" Jiang Ning wondered.
So why does Wu Shiyi say something so sensational every time? I guess... he must be deliberately trying to scare himself!
As everyone knows, while Jiang Ning was sitting inside, bored, the expressions of the two people outside changed drastically.
"Mother-in-law, you're old, so don't move those heavy things. No matter how deep your cultivation is, I can't withstand your troubles." Wu Shiyi was about to find an excuse to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the things he had placed in the courtyard on his left.
A white jade stone pillar in an inconspicuous position is missing.
He pointed in the direction where there was no big jade pillar and scolded: "It's such a heavy stone pillar. It doesn't matter what you do with it. If it's useful, why don't you just wait for me to come and let me help you."
The old woman next to me laughed and said, "You kid, I'm already an old man. What kind of stone pillars are you trying to move... What big stone pillars are you talking about!" When she said the next sentence, the old woman's voice was a few pitches higher than before.
.
"Every time I came here before, I could see a white jade pillar placed there. What's wrong?" Wu Shiyi asked in confusion.
This is the first time he has seen the old woman like this since he met her.
As she spoke, the old woman turned her head and looked in the direction Wu Shiyi was pointing. Her expression suddenly changed and she said, "It's broken. The ghost control stake is missing. The little guy inside is in great danger!"
