Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 85: Do you think I am dead?

After Ji Yuan sat down by the fire, they briefly introduced themselves to each other, including their names and place of origin.

Ji Yuan did not dare to say that he had run all this way. He used the excuse that he and the merchant team were separated at a fork in the road due to different destinations, and he accidentally took the wrong road afterwards.

Even the eyes were blinded to make Ji Yuan's eyes look normal. Otherwise, wouldn't it be scary for a half-blind man to run so far in the mountains by himself?

The hunters were obviously not very interested in how Ji Yuan went astray, but instead asked about the situation in Chunhui Mansion.

"Have you ever made a big boat in Chunhui Mansion? We have been there twice and never got on it. There is also Qianrichun in the garden shop. I heard that it is a wine recipe brewed by the emperor. , it’s as delicious as ambrosia!”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Da looks so elegant. He must have been on a boat trip and drank a thousand days of spring, right?"

Ji Yuan also laughed when he heard this.

"I'm afraid you are mistaken. How could the Emperor Dazhen brew the wine himself? It was just because the wine made the Emperor happy that he gave it a name and a plaque."

"Oh, that's right!" "That's right, how can the emperor know how to make wine for others to drink!"

Ji Yuan waited for them to finish before continuing:

"Ji has never been on this boat, but he has tasted Qianrichun. The taste is indeed like the name of the wine, and the sweet and pure spring lingers on the tongue."

It’s not that he didn’t think about taking out more than half of the bottle of wine left and giving it to the four of them to taste, but in this kind of wilderness, strangers give wine to others. As a vigilant hunter, there is no reason not to drink. No, it's not easy to get along better, it's better not to cause embarrassment.

A few people longed for Qian Richun and the prosperous place of Chunhui Mansion, and also chatted with Ji Yuan about the current situation of Chunhui Mansion.

As a hunter in the countryside, even if I have goods, I usually go to the county town to sell them. Only when I have a good year and have big goods, I only go to the prefectural city once or twice.

During the conversation, the chicken and rabbit meat were cooked, and one of the hunters took a knife and cut off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ji Yuan. After they started eating, the atmosphere between the two parties became much more harmonious.

At this time, Ji Yuan took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the situation of the man named Fang Qiu, who was the one who had asked to stay.

"Brother Fang, I see your eyes are swollen and black. Have you not had a good rest recently?"

In fact, several of the hunters were a little tired. How could they sleep peacefully in the mountains? The plan was just an excuse.

"Hey, sir, you are right. I have been unable to sleep lately, and have been having nightmares for almost a month now. My mother was worried that I had caused something dirty, so she went to the temple to ask for a string of beads for me. , and ended up losing it.”

"He just doesn't have the temper of his wife!"

There was an Orion making fun of him.

"Go, go, go, it's great that you have a wife?"

"It's really amazing, hehehe!"

The hunters were obviously very close to each other and started making noises while teasing. The man who made fun of Fang Qiu also said that he would help him find a matchmaker.

At this time, Ji Yuan realized that this man named Fang Qiu was only in his twenties, but he looked as if he was thirty.

"Can you tell Ji what you saw in your nightmare? Although Ji is not good at interpreting dreams, he has always been interested in it."

After the commotion, Ji Yuan and others still asked about Fang Qiu's matter, but the latter didn't take it seriously either.

"Nightmares are just like that, either monsters or ghosts. Anyway, I woke up in a cold sweat after being frightened, and it faded away during the day."

"Oh...Is that so? Are the objects in dreams different every time?"

Hearing Ji Yuan's question, Fang Qiu also recalled it carefully.

"Mostly I forgot, but it seems that sometimes I can see a pair of bloodshot green eyes..."

Ji Yuan frowned and noticed that when Fang Qiu mentioned this, goosebumps appeared on his exposed arms.

"Brother Fang, can you go to the Chenghuang Temple to pay homage?"

"City God's Temple? Our Qingshui County is so small, but there is no City God's Temple. There is only one Earth Temple and one Woshan Temple. But I went to Woshan Temple to worship Mingwang Buddha."

There is no City God’s Temple!

Ji Yuan also frowned. It is true that many small counties do not have city gods. Most of the reasons are because they have never produced any important figures who can be remembered, and there is no imperial court to pursue them, and no one in the village takes the lead in identifying the virtuous ones. The City God Temple was built on the basis of the elders.

Because the City God Yin Division rarely crosses the border, most of the counties without a City God are under the control of the Fucheng God. The Fucheng is already densely populated and has many things, and it is possible that half of the small counties in the land of a prefecture will take several days to patrol. It's good to have a patrol, and you can imagine how strong the management will be.

The so-called Buddhist temples are actually even more worrying. It is not that Buddhism is powerless, but that there are very few temples with true Buddhism.

In this world, there are no immortals or Buddhas in the heavens. Most of the Buddha statues in temples are the statues of the eminent monk Mingwang that have been widely circulated. They are also products similar to Shinto, but they face the same problems as conventional Shinto, and they are more serious, because Buddha The temple has no boundaries and is spread all over the world. No matter how many incarnations the eminent monk Ming Wang has, it is not enough.

We chatted for a long time with no results, so we had to let go of Jiyuan for the time being.

When night fell and in the dead of night, Ji Yuan, who was sleeping by the fire, opened his eyes and looked at the dozing vigilante hunters, and then at Fang Qiu, who was covered in sweat on his side. He stretched out his hand and used his magic power to gather a trace of spiritual energy. , and tapped Fang Qiu's forehead, and the latter's expression quickly calmed down.

‘It’s a pity that I can’t fall asleep yet. ’

. . .

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Yuan followed the hunters to check several traps. Although he only caught one deer, he didn't catch anything at all.

After everything was packed up, the few of them walked home with Ji Yuan. Around noon, they arrived at the fork in the village where they could be seen.

Strictly speaking, this village is still in the mountains. From a distance, there are only roads leading to the outside world. It doesn't look like there are fields around it. I don't know if all the villagers are hunters or if the fields are on the other side.

A few people stood at the fork in the road, and Fang Qiu simply pointed the way to Ji Yuan. After all, Ji Yuan was in a hurry to go to Qingshui County.

"Mr. Ji, follow this road to the east for four or five miles and you will see the official road. Then follow the official road to the south. You will definitely reach Qingshui County before dark."

"Well, thank you for taking care of me, but Ji wants to go into the village to buy a farm lunch. Is it convenient?"

Ji Yuan will naturally not leave like this.

"There is nothing convenient or inconvenient, just come to my house to eat!"

"Yes, Mr. Ji can come to my house too!" "What's the trouble, let's go together, isn't this deer meat just right!"

"Let's go back, let's go back quickly!"

"Okay, then Ji will bother you!"

"Hey, why are you so polite? It's rare to find a knowledgeable person!"

The hunters were very enthusiastic and rushed to the village with Ji Yuan.

Enter the mountain village and try your best to observe the surroundings.

The scale of this mountain village is larger than Ji Yuan imagined. There are households in every corner. It is said that there are more than 200 households.

Perhaps the area is too large and scattered, and there is no village wall around it, but every household has a fence or earthen wall. When the four of them came back from hunting, many people came out to watch the fun. When they heard that Ji Yuan was a learned man, they all expressed their enthusiasm to him. He said hello.

The original lunch was also prepared in a lively manner at the house of an Orion named Ding Xing. In the afternoon, it turned into a dinner. The four families ate together in the yard of the Orion's house. The main course was deer meat.

In the warm atmosphere, Ji Yuan took out the treasured old wine Qian Richun, and drank most of it in a small glass each. After pouring it, he realized that he felt distressed, and continued to drink the local wine in the village, and drank Qian Richun. The people in Richun were extremely proud of themselves, and felt that they would have more to brag about in the future.

By the time everyone had finished drinking and eating, the sky had begun to darken, and several families invited Ji Yuan to stay temporarily, so he naturally went to Fang Qiu's house where only mother and son depended on each other.

As the mother and son of the Fang family walked on the dim village road, Ji Yuan fell behind and took a closer look at the two people. The red light outside Fang Qiu's life fire had been covered with a layer of black air, and his mother's life was Although fire is weaker, it has no evil spirit.

"Meow~~~~~~~"

A shrill meow sounded from the side. Ji Yuan turned his head and looked around. There was a black cat lying on the roof over there. It had no evil spirit and was just an ordinary animal.

The Fang family is just an ordinary family in the village. It is not simple in comparison. It has a two-bedroom main house, a side house and a firewood house. Ji Yuan lives in the side house temporarily.

It is quiet at night.

"Meow~~""Meow~~"

"Oh~~"......

Ji Yuan, who had been sleeping lightly, opened his eyes once after a cat meowed, sat up and looked at the main house through the half-open window.

There were at least a dozen wild cats and domestic cats squatting on the roof. They were all ordinary animals, but Ji Yuan felt a little numb when he saw them. He resisted the pain and gradually opened his eyes to 70%, and he actually saw the inside of the main house. The window of Qiu's room was filled with a small burst of gloomy green at some point.

‘What the hell! ’

Ji Yuan sat up quietly, stretched out his **** and lightly dipped a drop of lamp oil on the oil lamp in the house. The mana seeped into the oil on his fingertips, then he clasped his fingers together and flicked towards the main house of the Fang family.

Whoosh~

The oil droplets flew silently into the main house, and were placed in the oil lamp in the middle of the house.

"咚~"

The oil lamp splashed out at least twenty drops of lamp oil that had suddenly disappeared. In a strange slow motion, it slowly flew out of the lamp and flew around the house.

Seeing that the combination of martial arts and water-bending was effective, Ji Yuan narrowed his eyes, opened the fire folder and blew on it gently. A tiny spark lit up and was covered in his sleeve.

When Ji Yuan's left hand came out of the sleeve again, there was a little black ash with sparks on it, but the fire was not visible due to the blinding method.

I only know four spells, so I naturally have to use all means to master them.

"Huu~~"

With a gentle blow, a small amount of black soot containing sparks flew out of the side room, and dispersed into the main house of the Fang family after about three breaths.

Ji Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the fire in the artistic conception alchemy furnace suddenly rose, and the gray in his eyes seemed to flash with firelight for a moment.

"Boom~~"

The main house of the Fang family suddenly burst into flames.

"Ah~~~~~~~"

A horrifying scream sounded, and the green energy entangled with flames overflowed the window and fled away.

"Hmph! But Erer, are you really planning to kill someone?"
