Chapter 117 Mandrill
Miao Miao walked behind and chatted with Su Nuobai beside him: "Master Su, aren't you in a hurry to return to Beijing?"
"Don't be in a hurry. I'm also curious about their business of driving corpses. You and I are of the same age, so just call me by my name." Su Nuobai looked at the corpses that followed him.
Miao Miao was very happy: "So should I call you Su Bai or Nuonuo?"
"If I dress like a man, you can just call me Su Bai. If I dress like a woman, you can do whatever you want." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
When Miao Miao walked, the silver jewelry on her body could still make crisp sounds, which were particularly loud on this deserted road.
Su Nuobai and his friends did not pass through the town, but went around it and headed towards the mountains.
When driving corpses, they try not to enter villages to avoid scaring people.
Su Nuobai followed them along the mountain road: "Are you usually afraid of walking on mountain roads at night?"
Miao Jiang turned around and looked at the two of them: "I was scared the first time I went out by myself, but then I gradually got used to it."
Su Nuobai looked at the dark forest, which did not pose any obstacle to them.
Although their cultivation methods are different, they have one thing in common: they all have good eyesight.
Miao Miao was about to say something to her when she saw something jumping towards her in the woods.
"What is that?"
Su Nuobai looked in the direction she said, only to see a strange object jumping towards them.
Miao Jiang also became more alert, holding the soul-catching bell in one hand and placing the other hand on the sword at his waist.
Su Nuobai shouted into the distance, "Do you want to exchange things?"
Strange faces appeared from behind the tree trunks, and they forced a not-so-nice smile and nodded.
Miao Miao and Miao Jiang also saw their faces clearly: "Mandrill?"
Su Nuobai smiled and nodded: "It's rare to encounter a mandrill in the mountains."
The mandrill hopped over on one leg, carrying a lot of things on its back, and smiled in a naive manner.
It was also the first time that Miao Miao encountered a mandrill. It had a green face and fangs, only three fingers on its hands, and one foot with its heel facing forward.
She had heard from her master and others that although mandrills looked ugly, they were not vicious monsters and would exchange things with passers-by.
Rouge, food, jewelry, etc. In return they would also give wild delicacies, firewood and herbs.
Miao Jiang saw the corpse standing aside and said, "Let's take a break."
Su Nuobai looked at what the mandrill brought, a lot of wild delicacies, herbs and firewood.
They lay on the ground, not saying a word, just looking at the three people.
There were a lot of delicious food in Su Nuo's white buns, but very little other stuff. "I only brought food, nothing else. Do you want to exchange?"
The mandrill nodded and passed the things they brought to her.
Su Nuobai took out things from her small bag, including steaming meat buns, scallion pancakes, roast chicken, braised pork elbow, etc.
Miao Miao and Miao Jiang's eyes widened.
How can she fit so many things in her palm-sized bag?
The mandrill didn't expect to be able to exchange so many things, and his eyes were full of smiles with joy.
Su Nuobai handed them the things: "Is that enough?"
The mandrill smiled and nodded quickly, then carefully carried the things he had exchanged and jumped towards the forest.
Miao Miao waited until they left before asking, "Nuonuo, is this your Qiankun bag?"
Su Nuobai looked down at her small bag and said, "No, that's not it. I just put a space talisman inside. Do you want it? I can sell it to you!"
"Yes! How much? You don't know how tiring it is for us to bring more things every time we go out." Miao Miao kept complaining.
"I'll draw it for you later. I'll send the soul in the painting to the underworld first." Su Nuobai took out the scroll and two little paper figures.
She pulled the people out of the scroll one by one, and when they saw the unfamiliar environment, they were all shocked.
"Where is this place?"
Su Nuobai looked at the condition of their souls. Some of them may have been dead for who knows how long: "You are all dead."
"Ah!" All the souls looked at her in disbelief.
Su Nuobai was not in a hurry, just waiting for them to slowly accept the reality.
The Ghost Gate opened, and the ghosts accepted the reality and walked towards it one by one.
Miss Wang San looked at her: "Master, thank you!"
"Don't be so stupid in your next life." Su Nuobai looked at the person whose appearance had been restored.
She didn't look fat originally, with a little baby fat on her cheeks, which made her look very cute.
It’s a pity that I fell in love with the wrong person and I’m such a fool.
After the ghost gate closed, the painting floating in the air began to sway from side to side, and it seemed as if it was quietly retreating.
"If you dare to run, I will burn you to death." Su Nuobai said without even looking at it.
The scroll shook slightly, as if it was frightened, and quickly flew to Su Nuobai's side and acted coquettishly and cutely.
Su Nuobai glanced at the scroll and said, "Although it was not your intention to absorb these souls, if I let you go, I'm afraid many people will suffer."
The scroll drooped at one end, looking dejected.
Su Nuobai: "You will follow me from now on and atone for the mistakes you have made. When you can control yourself, maybe you will have a chance to achieve the right result."
The scroll suddenly stood up and nodded slightly at her.
Miao Jiang looked at the scroll and asked, "Miss Su, is it true that this scroll's purpose of absorbing souls is not what it was designed for?"
Su Nuobai let the scroll fly into his palm: "It has only recently awakened to intelligence. At first, it was confused and unaware that it had absorbed the soul of a living being."
"After it regained consciousness, it avoided appearing before humans. However, it couldn't control the absorption of living souls. The death of Mr. Luo was the first one it absorbed after regaining consciousness."
Miao Jiang looked at the scroll and said, "The person who painted it must have put a lot of effort into it!"
Su Nuobai put the scroll into his backpack: "I think this is his last painting, and it is also the life he dreamed of."
She took out yellow paper and cinnabar from her bag, dipped her fingers in the cinnabar and casually drew space symbols.
I have to say that although there is a lack of spiritual energy here, there is some spiritual energy in this forest because of the existence of trees.
It was the first time that Miao Jiang and Miao Miao saw her draw talismans, and they didn't expect it to be so casual.
Su Nuobai handed the two space symbols he had drawn to the two people: "Remember to send the money to me at my shop."
Miao Miao took the talisman and couldn't wait to stick it in her bag.
She looked at her bag, which was originally not big, and now it had become a bottomless pit that could hold everything.
"Oh my! Why couldn't I have met you earlier? Otherwise, I could have bought so many delicious foods when I passed by you."
Miao Jiang's face lit up with joy. This way they could bring more things with them when they went out, and the safety factor would be much higher.
"Miss Su, can you sell us some more space symbols?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Just use half of the silver you gave us to buy it."
