Demon in the world

The visitor was about 30 years old, his face was like an autumn moon, his lips were as red as cinnabar, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of extraordinary confidence. He looked even more beautiful than a woman.She didn't hang many gold ornaments on her body like Helian Rongxin, but she was wearing a linen wide shirt, and her thin waist was tied with blue silk. When she walked, she swayed slightly, which was simple but elegant and refined.

He glanced at Ah Jiu, paused, quickly turned to look at Helian Rongxin, and said without sincerity: "I'm so sorry for disturbing your good business."

Anger welled up in Helian Rong's blue eyes, and after getting off the bed, he said directly, "What's the matter with the High Priest?"

"The servant must have informed your lord just now, and I am here to find the lost sacrifice."

"There are a lot of slaves in the backyard, you can go and escape at will."

The visitor smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, but I only want the one behind you."

Helian glanced at Ah Jiu heartily, and her voice became colder, "What if I don't give it?"

"I think your lord offended our great Manhatu for a little slave."

Ah Jiu didn't know the origin of the Manhatu he was talking about, but he clearly saw that Helian Rong's haughty expression froze in an instant, his face turned green and pale quickly, and he hid his hands in his wide sleeves unwillingly.

The man smiled indifferently, nodded slightly with Ah Jiu, and it was considered to have been summoned.

Perhaps it was because of his unique quiet temperament that Ah Jiu didn't dislike this person. Compared to Helian Rongxin with burning eyes, this person was obviously much cuter.

Ah Jiu followed Helian Rongxin out silently, and saw the blue sky in the garden. There were many Haloxylon trees and willows growing wantonly in the garden, the branches and vines were not pruned, and the fence was made of eroded rock and sand. In contrast, there is a kind of vigorous and rough natural beauty.

The sky is tile-blue, clean as if it has been specially refined, without any clouds or impurities.

It's just that the air is very dry, and the breeze is itchy on the skin, as if a lover's hand is touching it.

The two never exchanged a word from the beginning to the end, and Ah Jiu had so many questions that he didn't know where to start.For example, why did he come to Roland, why did he become a sacrifice, and what purpose did Qiye instruct himself?What happened to their so-called sacrifices?Do you want to kill those disabled people in cages?Is this person trying to lock himself up again...

After walking out of the gate, Ah Jiu saw a lively street, bustling with pedestrians, most of them were dressed like Helian Rongxin, but the fabrics were not so delicate, and their skin color was much darker due to the sun exposure.

There was a Jianghu entertainer in a blue shirt, with a few earthen pots in front of him, playing the flute leisurely, and the snake inside poked its head out, dancing gently to the rhythm and the girl's body.

There are also those sitting against the wall, playing the odd-shaped huqin, playing and singing with a happy smile, and a broken bowl for collecting money is placed in front of them, and they seem to be enjoying it very much.

There are also gorgeously decorated camel carts, on which the woman covers her face with a black veil, and her forehead is covered with sparkling gem fragments.

Most of these people don't wear shoes, their jackets are very close-fitting, their waists are all tied up with very thin belts, and their trousers are wide and elegant, making them look good when walking in the wind.

Ah Jiu stared intently, and almost all the doubts in his heart were left behind.

Suddenly, he smelled a burnt aroma, which seemed to be the smell of baked flour and honey, but it was completely different from the ones he had eaten in the past, which made his long-forgotten stomach growl.

The person in front of him stopped as if he had a heartbeat, "Are you hungry?"

Ah Jiu nodded truthfully, he was always very frank in front of hunger.

The man walked to the side of the big clay stove, took out two sabei from his pocket, and exchanged for two pancakes the size of a pot.

The cake is thick but soft to the bite, chewing like rough pasta. Although it smells sweet, it tastes very light, almost completely indistinguishable.

The man didn't eat, and silently waited for him to finish eating one and handed out the second one.

After eating other people's food, you have to say hello, Ah Jiu thought so and opened his mouth, "My name is Ah Jiu, how about you?"

He smiled gently, his eyes seemed to be filled with crushed sunlight, "My name is Fu Guanzi."

Ah Jiu read a trace of familiarity from his face, and vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere, but couldn't remember it.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Go back to my mansion."

Hey, he didn't bring him back to the iron prison, Ah Jiu became more and more confused, "Why did you take me back to your house?"

Fu Guanzi said: "A guest."

"A guest?"

"A guest."

"Why?" Ah Jiu really couldn't figure out what this man was up to.

"You don't have anywhere else to go in Roland, do you?"

Ah Jiu paused, then followed quickly.

Fu Guanzi's mansion is very different from He Lianrong's heart, but an antique Chinese style layout. Two green willows are planted at the entrance, and two stone lions are placed below. The garden is paved with smooth stone slabs. The gaps in the wall are specially built with patterns.

The houses are built of mud bricks and topped with thick white thatch.Because of Roland's lack of rain, the wood and straw looked new.

Ah Jiu grew up in Lanyin Temple, and he has always felt kind to the ancient buildings. Thinking of the person in front of him growing up in such an environment, he couldn't help getting closer to him.

There was a young girl who was cleaning in the room. She was wearing a long skirt made of green gauze, her black hair was tied with a red ribbon, and she looked extremely beautiful. When she saw Fu Guanzi came back, she immediately put down her things and served herbal tea.

The tea set is also the purple clay used in the Middle Earth, but the tea is not known what is used to make it, and it is green when poured into the cup. After the evening, a coolness lingers in the throat for a long time.

There is such a house in this exotic Roland, and there are girl servants in Hanfu. Ah Jiu became more and more curious about the origin of the person opposite.

Fu Guan Ziping retreated from the waiter, covered his face with his wide sleeve and drank the water in one gulp, put down his glass and said to Ah Jiu: "Are you wondering why I brought you back now?"

Ah Jiu nodded. Although he lacks life experience, he is not naive enough to think that there is a good thing in the sky. This person did not hesitate to offend Helian Rongxin and brought him back to the house, and even executed it in a pleasant manner. What is the reason? Purpose?

Fu Guanzi's slender fingers pointed at the table, tapped slowly two or three times and said: "Today I originally wanted to go to Lord Helian's for a drink, and looking for slaves was just a random excuse. I never wanted to meet you." ...You have a strong demonic aura about you, so you shouldn't be human, right?"

His voice was nice, and his manner of speaking was elegant and calm. Although he used a questioning tone, the expression on his face was clearly affirmative.

Ah Jiu said: "I am Longzi."

"Long... son?" Fu Guanzi's eyes were astonishingly bright, "I don't know what Lingtang's identity is?"

Ah Jiu said truthfully: "Pearl paste, also known as pearl paste."

According to several elder brothers, the mother's original shape is exactly like a pig, with a peculiar fragrance all over her body, and she is a rare beauty after the transformation.

However, Fu Guanzi seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and frowned, "Pearl ointment?"

His mother is a witch from the Central Plains. She chased the corpses and came to Roland to settle here. As a mixed-blood priest, he had studied ancient books and strange books outside the building, and had seen many ghosts and monsters, but he had never heard of such a strange name. creature.

But I don't know that there are many kinds of Chinese monsters, and no one has classified them in detail before Bai Ze, and the capable people in the Central Plains still can't recognize them all, let alone him?

Pearl ointment is only one type of mountain ointment, and mountain ointment belongs to the ointment category, and there are five-element ointments such as water ointment and fire ointment.

However, there are more than 20 kinds of mountain pastes, including dirty pastes, finger pastes, meat pastes, hi pastes, etc. Although the appearance is similar, the nature and ability are completely different.For example, Dirty Paste is a monster who goes out by swearing at people. If anyone is not pleasing to the eye, he can swear at him from morning to night. If you don't get scolded to death, you have to suffer from a nervous breakdown.

Finger cream has no tail, so you must not use your fingers when encountering it, otherwise it will bounce up and bite the person's finger directly to escape.

The meat paste will follow the target day and night, appearing every time to lick human flesh, licking people into bamboo sticks quietly, and abandoning them when they feel that the meat is thin and tasteless.It doesn't hurt lives and doesn't leave scars, so women who love the fat family are welcome.

And Xipao will bite people, half an inch of the wound can't be cured by good doctors, and coins will be born after half a month.Three qian a day, no more, no less. For dying people, three qian is enough to save life, but for most people, it is useless, it is useless to keep it, and it is a pity to discard it.

Pearl cream is the pearl of cream. For their aesthetics, tight flesh, smooth skin, fat but not swollen, white as jade is the top grade. Pearl cream not only meets all requirements, but also has a strange fragrance. Although it has no special skills, it is enough Let it live without worrying about food and clothing, and there is a large group of mountain jelly begging for food in front of each bead jelly.

Fu Guanzi was troubled by the problem of pearl paste for a long time, and even drew various graphics for Ah Jiu to try to identify.

Ah Jiu has never seen such a person with such a strong thirst for knowledge, but unfortunately he has never seen his mother's face, and since the pearl ointment has disappeared, no one will know her true appearance.

When watching Fu Guanzi flipping through ancient books beside him, Ah Jiu was shocked by his collection of books and knowledge several times.

Ah Jiu listened very carefully, and answered the questions with a very candid attitude. The two of them spent half a day asking questions.

When he was about to eat dinner, Ah Jiu thought of the disabled slaves in Helian's house, so he asked him what was going on.

Fu Guanzi said: "When you first came to Roland, it's normal to not know the rules here. Those Central Plains people didn't make any mistakes, but resisted or injured Roland people during the arrest process, so they were treated in the same way. Punish it and go back."

"Why catch them? Manha you mentioned..."

Before Ah Jiutu could say it, Fu Guanzi pressed two fingers on his lips, "The name of the true god must not be spoken."

God?In Buddhism, there are Tathagata, Eight Great Bodhisattvas, and Eighteen Garams...but what is the true god of this so-called Manhatu?Could it be with Roland's little god?Ah Jiu had more and more questions.

The dinner was very rich, with chicken, mutton, carrots and potatoes cut into pieces, all cooked with unknown spices, and the taste was rich and thick.Put it in a round copper vessel and eat it with your hands.

It was the first time for Ah Jiu to eat in this way. When he was embarrassed, he observed Fu Guanzi, and saw that his movements were crisp and neat, and he didn't even get greasy on his fingers after the end.

Ah Jiu has a big stomach, and he only felt full after eating four chickens, half a sheep, a large pile of jujube cakes made of butter, several pots of diced vegetables, and three cups of fruit tea made with milk.

When he was eating, Fu Guanzi was watching from the side, his eyes slightly bent, as if looking at a pet that was not full.

"Sorry, I have a big stomach."

"It's okay, as the master, I'm glad to see you eat so much."

"The taste is very good, thank you. I am also a chef. If you don't mind, I can cook a few dishes for you to try tomorrow."

"my pleasure."

After the two chatted for a few words, the maid put away the tableware.

After Ah Jiu washed his hands, Fu Guanzi said, "Ah Jiu, come with me."

After bringing him into the bedroom, he invited Ah Jiu to sit on the bed together. Although Ah Jiu didn't know why, he did so faithfully.

The two were lying side by side on the mat, Fu Guanzi raised his hand and drew a circle in mid-air, then stretched out his hand and patted the edge of the bed twice, the whole couch suddenly sank.

Ah Jiu felt his eyes go dark, and his vigilance immediately surged out, turned over and squatted on the bed, staring at Fu Guanzi motionless.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you," Fu Guanzi sat up, touched the wall with his hand and pressed a mechanism, and the oil lamps around him immediately lit up.

This is a closed basement. The murals are painted with dazzling bright colors to paint many abstract patterns, including snakes, cows, camels, and blue dragons flying in the clouds.

"There is an enchantment set by the mother at the entrance, and no one will hear what you say here."

Ah Jiu stepped back to keep a distance from him, "What do you want to say?"

"Manhatu, the name you asked during the meal." Fu Guanzi sat upright, the smile on his face disappeared, and he became very serious, "He is not Roland's true god, but He is a monster who does all kinds of evil. All the so-called sacrifices you saw at Helian Rongxin were enshrined at his request. Although I appear to be the closest high priest to God, I am actually covered in the blood of innocent people. executioner, murderer, speculator who deceives the world."

Ah Jiu didn't relax immediately, "What are you telling me about this?"

Fu Guanzi changed from sitting upright to kneeling on one knee, "You are a dragon son with extraordinary talent who surpasses all demons, and you are also the hope sent by God to us Roland, please kill Manhatu, we are a peaceful and peaceful man!" Desert City!"

"Me? Kill Manhatu? You don't like the words of this true god, why don't you resist?"

Fu Guanzi was a little emotional, "Resist? You don't know, Manhatu has boundless mana, and there are monsters such as smoke monsters, ghouls, and hundred-eyed giants guarding him. Although I have some skills, I am not enough to fight against them." Confrontation, and if the resistance fails, it will hurt other innocent Roland people. I have been searching and waiting until I find out that there will be a noble person from a foreign land to resolve this nightmare for us, and that is you! "

Ah Jiu couldn't bear to pour cold water on him, but he couldn't help but say, "Fu Xian... my lord, please sit up, I think it is necessary to explain something to you."

"My lord, please speak."

"First, it's true that I come from a foreign land, but the Roland we know there...has completely disappeared from the world 2000 years ago, and the Central Plains you mentioned before are also the Central Plains long ago in our knowledge. gone."

"What...what?" Fu Guanzi sat down on the couch in disbelief, the calm mask finally cracked slowly, "2000 years ago... Roland completely disappeared from the world?"

Ah Jiu couldn't bear to nod, "Secondly, the Roland recorded in the history books is called the ghost domain, and it is a place full of monsters, which is very different from the Roland I saw today... I don't know what went wrong, I don't know how I got here, but I think you need to know these things."
