Infinite Nerves [Infinity]

"Do you adults eat peaches?" The peach farmer took off the towel around his neck to wipe off his sweat, and swung the towel onto the bench next to him.

Qianwu smiled, "I want to eat."

The peach farmer leaned down and enthusiastically picked up the peaches in the bamboo basket, "They are all just harvested this morning. Look at this big peach, how well it grows."

Qian Wu continued to smile and said, "No money."

"..."

Tao Nong's movements froze in the air, with a smile on his face.

Jiang Chen pulled Qianwu's sleeve, took out the lucky bag and asked, "Do you accept barter in your town? We have some other food in the bag, exchange it?"

Tao Nong looked very disgusted, glanced at the lucky bag and said, "Forget it, there is no shortage of anything in the town, if you don't buy it, please give up."

In the scorching heat at noon, sweat dripped down his face, he picked up the towel and swiped it over his face, tilted his head back and poured a few sips of rough tea.

The tea turned out to be warm, he even blew on it while drinking it, his brows were furrowed, and he quickly wiped his sweat after drinking it.

"We don't buy peaches, so I'll ask you something." Qianwu asked: "We went up the mountain together, and two friends disappeared last night, where should we find them?"

Tao Nong's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly calmed down and said, "This is not without precedent. It is said that some people are so enlightened that they hide in the mountains."

Qianwu asked with a smile, "Do you believe this kind of nonsense?"

"..."

The peach farmer stiffly lowered his head to count the peaches in the bamboo basket and stopped making a sound. Suddenly, there was another commotion in the crowd. Qianwu followed the sound and saw a temple at the top of the winding stairs in the distance. Tourists for herbal tea are crowding up the stairs.

"What kind of temple is that?" Jiang Chen asked.

Tao Nong said, "It is a temple in Tangquan Town, and now it is enshrined to Master Ebisu who is prosperous in wealth. You may as well ask for incense to worship. There is free incense in front of the temple, and everyone can worship. "

"Free incense?" Qianwu became interested, "Then I have to go and have a look."

Before leaving, the peach farmer suddenly kindly gave them two peaches for free.

There are more than 400 steps from the bottom to the entrance of the temple. Qianwu tossed peaches to relieve boredom, and finally reached the legendary temple before his patience ran out.

Pedestrians coming and going almost broke through the threshold of the temple. The big bamboo baskets with free incense were placed at the gate of the courtyard, but few people patronized.Those tourists would rather queue up and spend money to buy high-priced incense sticks. The incense sticks they bought are pasted with paper signs, which are divided into three colors: black, red and yellow, which correspond to three kinds of blessings: big wealth, small wealth, and enough.

"Ebisu was not a great god at first. He protected the fishermen and believed in going out to sea. Later, he gradually became the God of Wealth." Jiang Chen said while smoking a handful of free incense and walked in, stepped through the outer door, and the main hall of the courtyard enshrined the legendary God of Wealth.It was an old man with a naive smile, plump ears, a black hat on his head, and ragged clothes hanging on his body. He held a fishing rod in one hand and a fish basket in the other hand, holding a snapper.

The players all received incense, but no one acted rashly.

"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Jiang Chen asked Qian Wu in a low voice.

Qianwu shook his head, "It's a very normal image of Ebisu, I've seen it in various books, it's not weird."

The tourists who came to pray were very sincere. After inserting the incense, some people kowtowed in three steps until they reached the statue, closed their eyes and muttered words, praying for blessings.

Qian Wu stood there looking at it for a while before saying, "I have to offer the incense after receiving it, so let's all bow to it too."

"I don't recommend you to act rashly, you should be more cautious." Brother Chen hesitated and stopped: "I don't know what's going on yet, don't worship God indiscriminately."

Qianwu's expression was cold, he had already held up the incense stick to his forehead, and said in a low voice: "If you don't dare to worship, then don't accept it just now, it is disrespectful to accept and not worship."

He abandoned distracting thoughts, put aside the heat for a while, bowed his head and worshiped God devoutly.

A few seconds later, Qian Wu stepped forward to offer the incense, and Jiang Chen synchronized with him, two free incense sticks were inserted among the incense, which was a little awkward.

Incense is burning in the temple, and if you stand for a long time, you will get a headache from the smoke.The other players were still struggling, Qianwu and Jiang Chen had already come out of the main temple, Qianwu walked around the temple corridor, looked at the red pillars and golden tiles, and said after a long time: "If you want me to see everything in the temple is normal, It's a pity I didn't bring Peng Peng, maybe he can see the way."

"The mission description says that Tangquan Town suffered from the volcanic pain in the past, and there were countless resentful souls until he appeared." Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "Could he be Ebisu?"

"Ebisu is a god of wealth, so he probably doesn't have the ability." Qianwu shook his head and asked, "Did you think about it when you first worshiped the god?"

Jiang Chen said, "Pray for you."

Qianwu yawned halfway through, and was taken aback, "Pray for me?"

"I hope you will lose less money after you get out of your nerves." Jiang Chen said with a smile, "Ebisu can only pray for wealth and luck, and that is my only wish."

Qian Wu heard the words, "Really, I listened to you to gloat."

When the two went out, they randomly grabbed the gatekeeper of the temple and asked about it.It turns out that Yebisu is a god worshiped by everyone in Tangquan Town. Since Yebisu was enshrined, more and more tourists have come to the town. Accommodation in hot springs, herbal tea and food, the town has gradually become prosperous with the arrival of Yebisu.

"It's hard to say whether it works or not. But the incense money alone can feed the town."

The door-sweeper smiled and asked again, "Have you bought incense, my lords? You need to spend more money to enshrine the black stick incense, which symbolizes great wealth. That's amazing."

Qianwu didn't answer and asked instead, "You are built on a volcano, how can you start your hot spring business with peace of mind, and you are not afraid of the volcano erupting at any time?"

The other party's face froze, Qianwu pretended not to see it, and continued to ask: "Hasn't it erupted before? Is it really an extinct volcano?"

The man lowered his head and continued to sweep the ground, and said after a long time, "It erupted, it was a long time ago."

"Oh?" Qian Wu smiled, "How is that good?"

"There used to be other gods worshiped in the town." The man looked at the ground and said in a low voice, "In the past, another god helped to suppress the wildfire, in exchange for eternal peace. But that god has left, and we are not much Say, don't ask any more."

Qianwu was silent when he heard the words, and nodded after a long time.

Other players came out one after another, Qianwu walked towards them, Jiang Chen asked the door sweeper in a low voice: "Can you tell us the name of that lord?"

The door sweeper looked very hesitant, leaning on the broom and refusing to speak.

Qian Wu also looked back at him calmly, after a long time, when he was about to give up, he heard the man say in a very soft voice, "Lord Liang Yushen."

At sunset, when the temperature should have dropped in the day, the heat on the mountain has reached a new height.

Qianwu sat cross-legged on the mat, leaning on the mahogany tea table, his eyes were loose.

Peng Peng showed the plant in his hand with bright eyes, "It's a dandelion! Qu Ying was surprised, there's nothing rare about this thing."

Qu Ying was a little embarrassed, "I was so stupid. I thought the taste was a bit familiar yesterday but I didn't realize it was actually dandelion. I searched for the ingredients according to the recipe of Naobu, and added dandelion to cook together. What I cooked was what we drank last night. Herbal tea."

Zhong Liye frowned and said softly as if talking to himself: "It's strange, why do these ordinary ingredients attract ghosts?"

Jiang Chen asked, "Have you tested the townspeople with these materials?"

"Tested." Qu Ying said, "I brought the brewed tea to the aborigines on the mountain, and they all drank it in front of me, and thanked me with a smile."

Qianwu, who was empty, slowly came back to his senses after hearing the words, and said weakly: "It's strange."

Jiang Chen said, "We found that the townspeople are obviously avoiding drinking herbal tea during the day, but they are willing to drink your brewed herbal tea, which shows that your brewed herbal tea is still different from the original herbal tea."

"Absolutely impossible." Qu Ying's tone was firm, "You have to trust my tongue, even if there is no slight deviation in the dosage of various herbs."

Jiang Chen opened the Code of Survival, and the first known law belonging to this dungeon has been verified.

【#1 Dangerous for those who drink too much herbal tea】

Qu Ying sighed: "Unless the herbal tea provided by the aborigines puts other colorless and odorless medicines, I can only think of this explanation."

Peng Peng asked, "It's fine if you don't drink the herbal tea. Did you find anything?"

"There's a temple on the mountain, we don't see any weirdness, you can go around tomorrow too. Also, we found out about a god named Liang Yushen, maybe he's the one in the mission description, you can also pay attention." Jiang Chen looked Looking at the sky outside, he said, "It's a long journey into town, don't go out when it's dark, let's talk about it tomorrow."

The dusk in the mountains is short, and night falls quickly.

At night, hot springs are opened in every household, and the dry heat immediately turns into humid heat.Qianwu opened the floor-to-ceiling wooden window and sat on the eaves, his legs dangling in the air, staring at the deep forest in front of him, speechless.

"I think he is already dead." Peng Peng gently pinched Qu Ying's clothes, "Are we going to lose the leader like this?"

Jiang Chen asked Qu Ying, "Did the townspeople really drink the herbal tea you made?"

"I drank all of them, even Liuliu drank two big bowls, and it was enjoyable." Qu Ying said.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: "Please cook another pot, and cool it with ice cubes for him, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it anymore."

Qu Ying nodded and walked out, Jiang Chen said again, "Cook two pots, I will drink with him. In case something happens, it can distract the target of ghosts."

"The two of you live in the same room, so why don't you get into bed together, and you can disperse your targets." Peng Peng rolled his eyes and said, "Just cook a pot, and we will have ten bowls per person, that's called diverging targets, okay?" .”

The two left the room, Jiang Chen stopped and looked at Qian Wu's back.

"Look, it's hot for the child." He sighed and walked to Qianwu's side, and sat down with him.

The gap opened was only the width of a door, and the two men inevitably squeezed together, shoulder to shoulder, as if they were hugging each other with a thermos.

Qian Wu looked at Jiang Chen blankly, moved his lips, resisted not driving him away, and only sighed softly.

"You didn't eat anything for dinner, but the food that Liuliu made was not bad." Jiang Chen said softly like coaxing a child.

Qianwu whispered, "But what she cooks are boiled beef in a copper pot, fried shrimp, and smoked fish. Which do you think people with heatstroke can eat?"

Jiang Chen sighed.

After a long time, Qian Wucai said: "The God of Liang Yu calmed down the volcano for Tangquan Town, and perhaps also resolved the resentment that died in the mountain fire. After he left, the villagers converted to believe in Ebisu, and Ebisu brought wealth and prosperity. , the mountain fire didn’t make trouble anymore. It’s just that the resentful spirits started to haunt again, randomly eating a few people who drank too much herbal tea every night.”

Jiang Chen nodded, "The aborigines have no taboo against Liang Yushen, otherwise they wouldn't have asked twice."

"Why did he leave?" Qian Wu frowned and thought in a low voice: "It sounds normal for God to leave after fulfilling a human's wish, but I always feel that that person deliberately concealed something."

"Do you know God Liang Yu?" Jiang Chen asked suddenly.

Qianwu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it. Maybe it's a wild god that doesn't exist in the records of this world."

Jiang Chen didn't answer any more, Qian Wu was about to say something more, Jiang Chen shook his wrist, gently raised his index finger to his lips.

Afterwards, the thin rustling of dresses appeared outside the door behind him.The door was knocked lightly, and Liu Liu's voice sounded.

"My lords, you can get ready to make a mess." Liuliu pushed open the door and said, holding a tray in his hand.

Qian Wu glanced back, there was a small porcelain cup on the tray, the girl reached out to lift the lid, and there was white steam coming out of it.

"What is this?" Qianwu had a hard time maintaining a happy expression.

Liuliu smiled and said, "Chicken soup, it's specially made for you, you didn't eat anything at night!"

"Would you like something cold to eat?" Qianwu felt his brain buzzing, and heard himself asking weakly: "The iced peach juice I want, have you made it?"

"This——" Liuliu was a little embarrassed, and after putting the tray on the coffee table, he said: "It is done, but——it has just been squeezed, and there is no time to put ice in it. I saw a female guest put all the ice bucket in the back kitchen. Take it away, the new ice hasn't arrived yet."

"That's fine." Qianwu said, "Thank you, where is the peach juice?"

Liuliu looked at him for a while, then knelt down and sighed softly.

"My lord, don't be greedy for coolness. I will send the peach juice to the soup room later. Please drink the chicken soup first, and then go to the soup obediently."

Qianwu said, "I won't soak tonight, I'll take a shower and go to bed."

"There is no place to take a bath in the store." Liuliu shook his head solemnly, "If you want to take a bath, you can only bathe in the hot spring, please rest assured, the hot spring water will be replaced with new ones every day."

"...

"

"My lord, please drink the chicken soup." Liu Liu stubbornly pushed the chicken soup forward, "If you don't eat, you won't be able to survive for a few days in the mountains. It's very hot in the mountains, and you can easily pass out if you don't have the energy. Eat obediently, my lord. After soaking in the soup, there will be peach juice to drink."

Qian Wu was completely dizzy by the little girl, maybe because of the heat, but he was too lazy to argue.

He frowned and walked forward to pick up the chicken soup.The small soup cup is small, but only for three or five mouthfuls. It was not as hot as expected when it was eaten. It was already warmed, and it was light with a hint of sweetness, which was easier to eat than expected.

"I'm going to prepare the sleeping soup for you two." Liuliu was happy again, her face was puffy, and she looked at Qianwu sweetly with her big watery eyes blinking, "Master, you look so hot from the heat. ! Makes people want to kiss!"

Jiang Chen's face darkened, Qian Wu glanced at her lightly, "Oh?"

Before Liuliu had time to flatter, he said casually: "Don't talk about me, you are also good-looking, you are so good-looking, it makes people want to squeeze juice."

"..."

Liuliu's face paled instantly, and he looked at Qianwu in shock, Qianwu smiled brightly at her, picked up the peach from the peach farmer on the coffee table, and slowly peeled off a piece of skin.

"Look, it's like this. First take off your clothes, let you show yourself, then squeeze into juice, and then—"

"T-Farewell!" The girl stood up in embarrassment, and knocked over the soup pot. She couldn't help it in time. With her arms wrapped around her arms, she barely let the things roll off the tray, and she kicked open the door and fled.

Qian Wu watched the back of her leaving, the teasing in her black eyes gradually faded, and her calmness returned.

He slowly took a bite of the peach, and the sweet juice spread in his mouth.After a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Do you think she wants to seduce you or me? Who is she looking at?"

"Do you seriously want me to answer this question?" Jiang Chen came over and rubbed his head, "Go to the soup, finish it quickly, and ask Qu Ying for herbal tea after you come out."

When it came to herbal tea, Qianwu finally cheered up a bit, ate the peaches, threw away the peach pits, and went to the hot spring with Jiang Chen.

It was the same soup room as yesterday, with the same hot flashes, and when someone entered the water, everything would be empty.

Qian Wu sat in the water to let go, Jiang Chen re-tied the small ice bag for him, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but bowed his head and kissed his lips lightly.

On the verge of dizziness, Qianwu was able to kiss back, but he didn't hold on for too long, and pushed him away out of breath.When they parted, Jiang Chen kissed his collarbone again, sucking hard, leaving a bright red mark when he got up.

The painter's cheeks were flushed to the collarbone, and his lips were as red as blood. He gasped softly and said, "Farewell, find a, find a cool place——"

Jiang Chen's deep laughter was made softer by the water vapor, and he said with a smile, "Got it."

Liuliu did not break his promise, and soon appeared with a whole jug of peach juice.As soon as Qianwu waited for her to squat down, she couldn't wait to reach out to probe the wall of the cup, and sighed a little disappointed after feeling the warm temperature.

"Don't be greedy, my lord." Liuliu persuaded patiently, poured a large glass of peach juice for him and Jiang Chen, and murmured: "It's because of your good bones, good flesh and good looks that I treat you so well. Yes, look at the one next door with fat on the waist, the one with asymmetric facial features across the door, and the shriveled butt on the other side of the corridor. Who did I squeeze peach juice for? You don’t know, I love peaches so much... "

Qianwu drank the sweet taste in his mouth, and didn't feel cold at all, so he asked, "Where's the herbal tea?"

"You guys drank so much fruit juice, and you still have your stomach to drink herbal tea?" Liuliu was a little shocked, but then shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that the female customers have used up all the ice cubes, so the shop can't provide herbal tea today. You are too greedy, I have gone to so many soup houses, and you are the only one who asks."

Qian Wu stared at her in the water, "You like me and Jiang Chen very much."

Liu Liu blushed, lowered her head and said shyly, "Mmm."

"Speak well." Qian Wu looked at her with a serious tone, "You won't give herbal tea to someone you like, will you?"

"Huh?" Liuliu seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and looked up at him blankly, "My lord, what did you say?"

The pair of black eyes on the opposite side suddenly became completely calm, without the slightest blankness after being hot, sharp and deep, as if they were a different person.

Qian Wu stared at him closely, and said clearly: "You know what will happen if you drink herbal tea, right?"

The tray in Liuliu's hand shook, if Jiang Chen hadn't reached out to catch it, the half pot of peach juice would have almost spilled into the hot spring soup.

"I don't understand what your lord is saying." The girl's white teeth pressed her lips lightly, she stood up and said, "Leave the peach juice for your lord, rest early when you are comfortable, and I have to visit the adults in other soup rooms .”

Qian Wu watched her leave, his black eyes were deep and scrutinizing, and he took a long time to look away.

After a few seconds, he sighed and entered the empty state again.

"I can't ask, the little girl has a very strict mouth." He said with emotion, "Even she refused to pierce the thinnest window paper, she didn't tell the truth, and she still has a crush on us? How could she succeed?"

Jiang Chen slightly raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that you are willing to let her succeed because she cooperates with you in answering questions?"

"I'm too hot, I don't have the brain power to deal with emotional torture." Qian Wu sighed lightly, grabbed Jiang Chen's shoulder and leaned over to kiss him wetly on the lips, whispered: "I pass the test."

Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing, "You pass the test."

Fortunately, after making the soup, Qu Ying finally iced her self-brewed herbal tea.The small teams get together, and everyone has two big bowls.Peng Peng also used the remaining ice cubes to freeze several honeydew melons, Qianwu drank two bowls of herbal tea, and ate up all the cold honeydew melons, and finally heaved a sigh of relief lying on the bamboo mat.

"Everyone be careful tonight." Jiang Chen said, "It stands to reason that the tea made by Qu Ying will be fine, but just in case, don't sleep too deeply at night."

Everyone nodded and dispersed.The scorching heat wears down the willpower, everyone sleeps early, Qianwu squinted his eyes taking advantage of the comfort after eating cold food, Jiang Chen looked at him for a while, turned off the lights and closed the windows, and lay quietly by his side.

It was true that they fell asleep smoothly that night, and the two of them lay on each other with their shoulders pressed against each other, both sleeping deeply.

In the middle of the night, Qianwu suddenly woke up.The cold food in his stomach had been digested long ago, and the door and windows in the room were closed and it was very stuffy. He listened with bated breath, but he didn't hear any movement.

Looking at the clock in the corner, it was obvious that the time of last night's ghost rampage had passed.

Jiang Chen was sleeping soundly next to him, Qianwu felt his pillow was slightly damp in the dark, it was sweat that wet the pillow.

So he got up and walked across the river to the wooden window, and gently opened the window with his hands.

The moment the wooden window was opened, there was no empty courtyard and bright moonlight outside the window.

A hideous shadow was standing outside against the wooden window, and as he opened the window, the thing that was burnt red and black and had bloodshot eyes grinned at him.

Qianwu stood still for a moment.

The wooden window was opened, and there was only a millimeter or two between him and the thing that exuded the scorching smell. The eyes and eyes of the man and the ghost knew each other very close. The thing smiled at him hollowly and greedily, and licked it lips.

Qianwu was cold from head to toe, for the first time since entering the mountain, he felt completely cold.

A gloomy and calm voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"roll."

In the next second, a familiar hand pressed on his shoulder and pulled him back vigorously. Jiang Chen held on to the saber shining under the moonlight with one hand, and hooked Beelzebub's fasting sign with the other, and said coldly to the evil spirit: "Get out of here!" Stay away, don't come looking for death."

The author has something to say: It's all hot for me.

Little Nerve rubbed selflessly on the floor, but fortunately the floor was cool.
