Treating guests to dinner is indeed normal, but it also takes time. At least in Zhang Jin’s mind, treats are not held on New Year’s Eve. People who are sensible will not go to other people’s houses for dinner on this day, and the family is reunited There are many outsiders among them, and I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it.He can generously classify Jiang Hufa and Zhou Hufa as relatives, and that is because of his grandmother's face. As for the others, he is embarrassed.

Seemingly seeing the persistence of the little friends of the Zhang family, a relatively young martial artist wanted to be funny, and walked up to Zhang Jin with a few steps and smiled: "Mr. Zhang Xiao, right? Did you distribute this to those children?"

Zhang Jin nodded.

"Shall I help you?" The martial artist stretched out his hand while speaking, "By the way, I will help you to taste it first."

"No need." Zhang Jin hid her hands, and the person was already a few steps away, and said with a serious face, "These things are useless to you."

Well?Useless to him?What's the meaning?The martial artist who was easily dodged was still surprised that the young man in front of him was not as simple as in the legend, so he heard another sentence that made him puzzled.

"Let's go in first." Dongfang Yao glanced at the children scattered around, there were about five or six, but because they were standing here, those children had the intention to leave at any time.He didn't know the use of those things that Zhang Jin got, but based on his understanding of his little guy, this person is not a generous person, so what he did at this moment must have the intention of the other party.

Although the other warriors wanted to try the legendary Mr. Zhang Xiao's abilities, but Dongfang Yao spoke up, and they were too embarrassed to continue the stalemate here, and they all nodded in agreement and walked into the gate.

Seeing Dongfang Yao and his party disappear at the door of the small house, they had been hiding aside before, and a group of children who were curious about the small house came out again, including the one with the cannon in his hand, who was still walking While shaking, crackling, pretending to be something.

Zhang Jin didn't care about those, and glanced at the children who had already emerged, and said in Beijin dialect with a local accent: "Don't hide, I saw you, I have freshly cooked fruits here, yes I learned the way of Beijing city, and if you want to eat, come here quickly."

The fruit of Beijing city?The children who stayed here because they were greedy, immediately couldn't help but pop up again.Those who pretended to be throwing cannons simply took two steps forward to look at the strange things.

Zhang Jin generously lowered the wooden basin for them to see. The fruit in the small wooden basin he held was not a single popular "bench leg", but a variety of styles and colors to cater to the preferences of himself and the children. What five-star shape, spherical shape, triangle, banana shape, etc., at first glance, they are quite different.And the round and oval fruits are rolled full of sesame seeds.

Regardless of the fact that almost every household in the countryside grows some sesame seeds, but they are used for oil extraction, but few people are willing to use them to make snacks for their children.

So, after reading it, some children couldn't bear it when the machine crashed.

Zhang Jin blocked the black claws stretched out by the one who bore the brunt and said: "I'll catch it for you. Today's fruit is not much, and I want to distribute it equally. But if someone doesn't want it later, I can give you some more. The rest If there are more, I can give some to the fool in a while."

Idiot, Idiot is naturally one of the only two people Zhang Jin knows in this village, and he overheard this when the old man scolded his son.

The children's minds are very simple. Although they are also wary, when they know that this person is one of the people sent by the country, and they still have people they know in their village, their wariness immediately becomes much less.After a few times of mental construction of "I only eat his food and don't go with him", the least courageous also came out boldly after seeing the benefits of the children in front.

Zhang Jin was very generous, and grabbed a handful for the first child who stood in front of him.The child was a little embarrassed at first, but he was supposed to be thick-skinned in the end. After being shy for less than a second, he threw one of the fruits into his mouth impatiently.

As soon as he ate it, he jumped up, and shouted while jumping: "Wow, it's delicious, it's meat!"

Meat!Although the village of Zhujiawa is already very wealthy compared to many nearby villages, it is still impossible to eat meat every day.Therefore, even if the children had already eaten meat at the family reunion dinner at home today, when they heard that there was meat in the snacks, those dilly-dallying ones rushed over.

Zhang Jin just gave you a hand, and he sent it out.When the children ate all kinds of fruits, and they still couldn't get enough, they still didn't forget to explain: "That's all for tonight. If you like, you can come back tomorrow. Come to my house tomorrow morning, and I will prepare other snacks. Of course, you can also bring people you know."

"Any apples?"

"Yes, there are also oranges and bananas." Just forgot to buy them, Zhang Jin added in a tangled heart.However, in order to attract the children in this village, he still listed a lot of foods that ordinary rural children can't see or rarely see.

In fact, in many rural areas nowadays, not to mention giving guests apples and oranges during the New Year, even melon seed candies are not well prepared.In order to show that I have a lot of surplus food, when I serve it out to entertain guests, it is often mixed with peanuts and dried sweet potatoes.In fact, there is only a small handful of melon seeds in a pot, most of which are peanuts and dried sweet potatoes.

Those families who want face plates full of melon seeds are often divided up by wave after wave of "little bandits" who carry bags and go home to pay New Year's greetings before they reach the second day of junior high school.

But not to mention anything else, Zhang Jin believes that the snacks he just distributed will attract a large number of children to him tomorrow.If the adults here allow it.

To say that Mr. Zhang is really not a generous person, but there is no way. Today he brought Dongfang Yao and his party back. It is estimated that those who opened the formation will act again tonight, otherwise there will be no ghosts and resentment to fill the formation. Arrays can easily collapse.

He couldn't save his own people, but he wanted these children to be used as spiritual energy.I just hope that the other party can show mercy tonight and give him some time.

The children ate fruits of various flavors, and almost immediately regarded Zhang Jin, who could make delicious fruits, as their partner. After taking what Zhang Jin gave them, they asked them to go back and share it with neighbors and other friends. After seeing the fruit of the brothers and sisters, they chattered, and reluctantly promised that they would come early tomorrow morning and leave.

Zhang Jin watched the children scatter, and then turned back to the small house.

The main room of the house was cleaned by the way when he posted the couplets, but the front yard was empty, but at this moment the lights were on.

When Zhang Jin passed by, he found that there were a few more generous tables in the conspicuous places in the room. At first glance, it was Dongfang Yao's masterpiece - simple, generous and thick.

There were also several large fires, and those ancient warriors were sitting around the fires in groups of three or five discussing something, but their expressions were a little dignified, and most of them were still hiding a deep sense of exhaustion.

"Why don't you get some bone soup, steamed buns, and fried meatballs for them?" Zhang Jin thought with a guilty conscience.He doesn't like to have strangers when he has a reunion dinner, but he doesn't mean that he is really stingy, not to mention the situation in the mountains today. I knew that these people must have helped a lot today.

It's just that there are too many people here. Although he bought a lot of food, the ones processed today are enough for these people to eat.And if they can come back safely, shouldn't the country reward them well?Why did it all get lost here?

"Buzzing..." The sound of a car's engine interrupted Zhang's groaning, and his consciousness was naturally released, and his heart immediately relaxed a lot.Because Zhang Jin saw a small truck parked in front of the small house, and on the small truck, there were not only quilts and other things for the rest of the twenty people in the house, but also rice, noodles, meat and vegetables, etc. Also saw several steaming hot pots.

Well, it looks like it looks like this!Zhang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, took one last look at the people in the main room, and then turned into the corridor leading to the backyard.

In the backyard, the light bulbs temporarily installed by Zhu Jiawa when he was resting the house were all turned on, illuminating the whole backyard very brightly.Dongfang Yao, Jiang Mo, and Zhou Xiaomei were coming in and out, bringing the food prepared by Zhang Jin to the big square table in the main room.

Jiang Mo brought out a pot of tall stewed bones from the single stove in the west wing room where they lived. It was a pot of big bones that Zhang Jin specially stewed over there. Bold and unconstrained, he specially chopped each one very big, so that everyone can eat the meat and the bone marrow in the bones, and each one has a lot of fat and thin meat, and the color is red and mellow after being cooked. Just look It's alluring.

So when Zhang Jin came in, the very handsome Jiang Hufa, who looked about 40 to [-] years old, was holding a basin with his face full of confusion, while looking back and forth in the basin, as if he was studying what he was stealing. Which is better.

After finally researching it, when he looked up, he saw Zhang Jin entering the yard. Guardian Jiang Mojiang gave an old face, and then greeted him in a very serious way: "The young master is back?"

"Hmm." Zhang Jin nodded, her eyes paused for a moment on the pot of red and mellow stewed bones, and she unconsciously thought of the person in the front yard again, "Uncle Jiang, is there any more in the pot of bones?"

Jiang Mo nodded: "Yes, it can hold a big pot. I can't finish it today, haha! It might be tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Zhang Jin responded with a nah.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hufa saw that his young master was wrong.

Zhang Jin didn't speak, Zhou Xiaomei came out of the kitchen with two dishes on the other side, seeing Zhang Jin, her face was also full of joy: "The young master is back, hurry up and sit in the room, today is really troublesome young master. I didn't expect to have such a sumptuous reunion dinner when I was on a mission outside."

"Yes!" Jiang Mo said while paying attention to Zhang Jin's expression, "Such a sumptuous reunion dinner used to be only available at the Zongmen's reunion banquet."

"Hehe!" Zhang Jin laughed dryly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Xiao Jin." Dongfang Yao came out of the room and also noticed Zhang Jin's strangeness.

Zhang Jin smiled awkwardly, and finally had to follow her heart and said generously: "Brother Yao, there is still a lot of food in the pot, why don't we take some to the front, and they should help you when you go to the mountains today." Quite busy, right?"

"..." Dongfang Yao nodded hesitantly, "It's okay, these stews are medicinal food, which can help them recover quickly, maybe they will be busy tonight."

Will something happen tonight?Zhang Jin's heart trembled when he heard that, he didn't expect the matter to be so serious.I wanted to ask right now.

But before he could open his mouth, Dongfang Yao said: "Xiao Jin, let's talk about the details after dinner." Thinking about the situation he encountered before, he might not be able to eat after talking.The delicacies his little guy spent so much time cooking cannot be wasted like that.

Zhang Jin nodded in silence for two seconds, then turned and went into the kitchen.Although the dishes tonight looked very ordinary, in fact, every dish was his carefully prepared medicinal food, in order to prevent Dongfang Yao and the others from being too seriously injured or corroded by Yin Qi when they came back.

This is also the reason why he doesn't want to feed those warriors. Maybe ordinary people don't feel much after eating it, and most have diarrhea or something, but warriors have very sensitive nerves. Diarrhea is different from diarrhea, and most of them are old experts.I'm afraid you'll know how good these things are once you eat them.

Moreover, as the heir of the Zhang family, the inheritors of the medical sage are not only medical skills, but also the rules of the ancient medical family.

However, I can't take care of that much now, I just hope that these meals will be better, otherwise it may not be able to stop some people's revenge tonight.

Zhang Jin asked Dongfang Yao a little bit about the situation that everyone encountered in the mountains, and then decided on the food to be sent.If there are many Huajin warriors among those people, I am afraid that he will bleed a little more, but today's ancient martial arts world, not to mention Huajin masters, are almost all from the families of various sects, and the treasure of the town faction is the peak of Anjin. Very few.

Among the hundreds of masters who came this time, there were only four or five masters of Huajin, except for Dongfang Yao, all of them were in the early stage of Huajin.

The food given by the four was naturally welcomed by all the warriors in the front yard. In fact, after all the warriors from aristocratic families or sects with an orderly inheritance tasted the food, they directly distributed the troops to the rest.Only those who were really not full, reluctantly ate some hot pot prepared by the army.

Because I was thinking about Beimang Mountain, and because I spent too much in Beimang Mountain today, the sumptuous reunion dinner prepared by Zhang Jin actually ended after only half an hour, and the four people in the banquet were meaningless. After drinking a glass of wine, they each buried themselves in hard work.

And with the end of the reunion dinner, Zhang Jin also knew what happened to Dongfang Yao and the others in Beimang Mountain today.

"...If it wasn't for this ring, I'm afraid we would have to fold it in today." Dongfang Yao rubbed the storage ring in his hand with lingering fear.

Jiang Mo and Zhou Xiaomei also frowned.In that formation today, the two of them really felt the frustration and fear they had never felt before.Thinking about their Qianjimen's establishment and their outstanding qualifications, how could they have suffered today's embarrassment.

"The situation at that time was very strange, and we couldn't tell whether the situation we encountered was real or not." Jiang Hufa said with lingering fear, "...Xiaomei and I tried our best to endure the hunger in our stomachs, but we couldn't bear it any longer. For a long time, I felt several times of gut-wrenching, and my legs and feet didn’t even have the strength to walk. Once I even felt that I was going to starve to death. Later, I even found a master who was also forbearing at the peak of dark energy. But within ten minutes, only skin and bones remained."

Zhou Xiaomei frowned, as if she was recalling the situation at that time: "...It was okay at first, we brought food with us, and Mr. Dongfang reminded us in advance that everyone eat less each time, but it was only a short period of time. In half an hour, or what we thought was only half an hour, the food in our hands was gone."

"..."

"...The key is that even if we have food in our hands, we can't get out of that formation even after walking for four or five hours. We have used all kinds of talismans, money to find the way, etc., and it is always clear in the depths. , but can never get out of the mountain forest."

Zhang Jin listened to Dongfang Yao's description of the situation at that time, and the inheritance in his mind was also automatically searching for related things.Finally locked - Jiujiu 81 serial array.

"...I'm sure the path we're walking on should not be repeated, but we can't get out of that formation no matter what. However, even so, I still have a guess, that is, on Beimang Mountain at this moment, there are many A formation, and what we entered is a formation that happens to be related to time." Dongfang Yao speculated, "...As for Lieutenant General Shen and the others, it should be a sword formation or a formation related to force."

"Nine-Nine-Nine-Nine-Eight-One Chain Formation." Zhang Jin said.

Um?Dongfang Yao, Jiang Mo, and Zhou Xiaomei looked at him together.

Zhang Jin looked up at the three of them and repeated: "Among the formations I know, there is a formation called the Nine-Nine-81 Chain Formation. When they are running, they are like clocks. Different people work in different places. Time, encounters are different when entering the formation, and there are several rings inside and outside. Brother Yao said that when entering the formation, follow the instructions I reminded you to enter the formation hand in hand, so that all of you can be in the same formation. Otherwise, it may be like Shen Zhong Make them the same, and when you enter, you are separated."

"The young master means that there are even more than ninety-nine and eighty-one formations in Beiman Mountain?" After everyone was silent for a while, Jiang Mo looked at Zhang Jin with twitching cheeks.Although their Qianji Sect also started with talisman formations, compared to what they encountered today, those formations of their school are simply pediatrics, infants!

"Well." Zhang Jin nodded, "According to my guess, it should be like this, and I don't know the specifics. But in fact, the last time this kind of formation appeared was in the Yin and Shang Dynasties."

"Couldn't it be the time when the legendary Conferred God?" Jiang Hufa looked like he had swallowed poop.

Zhang Jin murmured silently: "Well, I only read it in books. And didn't the history books say that the capital of Yin and Shang was also in Yu Province?" This is a lie, but he can't say it, I got it Ancient inheritance, is this what it says in the inheritance?

Snapped!Protector Jiang slapped the table, raised his brows and said, "Mother, how do we break this? The ancient gods had a narrow escape to break the formation. Those of us who went there, didn't they just fill in the pits? And now there are no immortals. Well, even those who have cultivated the truth and haven’t reached the foundation establishment, according to the ancient saying, it doesn’t count.”

Zhang Jin glanced at Dongfang Yao vaguely, and said in his heart: "There is one here." But at the same time, he also knew that if it was true as the inheritance said in his mind, that formation was a nine-nine-eight-one chain formation, and it was very powerful. It may be a ring ring, so let alone Dongfang Yao who has just established a foundation, even if it comes to a golden core, Yuan Ying's estimate is enough.

"Maybe..." Dongfang Yao, who was silent for a long time, said, "This formation is not as powerful as it was in ancient times."

Zhou Xiaomei laughed when she heard that, and looked at Dongfang Yao speechlessly, and said, "Mr. Dongfang, that's the case, that's also possible. Judging from today's situation, except for you, all of us, including Lieutenant General Shen, will be a burden."

"In other words, this formation... is basically impossible to break." Jiang Hufa rubbed his hands.

Zhang Jin hesitated for a while, and had to continue: "Although the Jiujiu 81 serial formation is just my guess, but judging from the current situation, this formation of unknown formation has already been activated, unless it stops by itself, otherwise, You have to keep filling it with stuff.”

"Can it be stopped?" Dongfang Yao is very good at grasping the key.He intuitively felt that what Zhang Jin said meant something else.

Zhang Jin glanced outside the door: "I used these firecrackers and fireworks to let you come out."

Yes!Jiang Mo and Zhou Xiaomei looked out of the gate together, the courtyard was covered with bright red firecracker paper.Thinking back suddenly in their minds, they vaguely remembered that they didn't know how to go at all, anyway, they seemed to have a way everywhere, but they could never go out. Later, they heard a vigorous explosion, and then Dongfang Yao said that they followed the sound, Then they came out, and on the way they met Lieutenant General Shen and his party who also followed the voice.
