When he saw the doll inside clearly, Ji Xing's gaze paused, his pupils shrank, and he blurted out, "Ginseng doll?"
"This doll is not small. It must be at least a thousand years old. I didn't expect that such a spiritual object could appear in modern times when spiritual energy is so scarce."
An Rugu's eyes swept across the plump doll in the thousand-year-old black iron box. Her fingers subconsciously clenched the box, and she suddenly realized, "It turns out that this circus is so well hidden that they even dare to steal the ginseng doll."
Ordinary ginseng can prolong one's lifespan, and thousand-year-old ginseng is said to be able to revive the dead. The doll in front of us is even rarer than thousand-year-old ginseng. It is a demon that has become a spirit, so it must have extraordinary effects.
No wonder the circus was so sneaky and went through so much trouble, it was actually for this legendary magic treasure. The combined value of the demon pills of those monsters might not be as much as the ginseng doll.
An Rugu recalled what the host had just said, and asked the other party what his real purpose was. He said that he wanted to take away a group of monsters.
At present, it seems that he is hiding something and not directly mentioning the ginseng doll. After all, the ginseng doll is included in the category of monsters and does not violate the truth talisman.
She secretly noted the mistake in her mind and decided to improve the Mantra Talisman again later.
Ji Xing's eyes swept over the doll inch by inch. After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he pushed her arm and suddenly said, "...you eat it."
An Rugu: “?”
"Why?"
Ji Xing said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course it is immortality! Even thousands of years ago, it was rare to see such a magical treasure."
"You have so much merit now, and your cultivation is also increasing, but you are still not an immortal. Look how fat it is, and who knows how much spiritual energy it hides. After eating it, you should be able to improve your cultivation a lot, and maybe you can become an earthly immortal!"
An Rugu was a little surprised: "Then why don't you eat?"
When he got angry, he would even snatch snacks from children, but he never expected that such a treasure would be given to himself.
Ji Xing was very curious about the taste of the thousand-year-old ginseng, but he said very reservedly: "You need it more than I do."
Although Ji Xing invited her warmly, An Rugu still refused.
She shook her head and said, "If it was just an ordinary ginseng, it would be fine, but it has already cultivated into a human form and looks as old as a doll on the street. I really can't eat it."
How can you eat a child?
Ji Xing was surprised and opened his eyes wide: "This is a walking elixir. You haven't seen a spirit in hundreds of years. You really don't want to eat it?"
Even gods would look sideways when seeing this ginseng doll!
Moreover, those humans put the ginseng doll in a thousand-year-old black iron box and wanted to transport it back to the White Country, they must be planning to eat it. How come others are so knowledgeable about the goods, but An Rugu is not?
"No need." An Rugu said calmly: "Forcing things to grow faster may not be a good thing."
She never relied on any genius or treasure to cultivate, but always kept her feet on the ground, taking each step steadily and laying a very solid foundation.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but her hands suddenly felt itchy, as if a feather was gently brushing her fingers, the touch was very gentle.
She looked down and found that the ginseng doll had woken up. She didn't know whether it had heard them talking.
It sat cross-legged in the black iron box, holding an old ginseng in its hand. It stretched out its lotus-like arms and gently rubbed her hand with the ginseng's whiskers.
Its round eyes were so clear that it could see through everything at a glance. It said earnestly, "Eat this, don't eat me."
An Rugu and Ji Xing: "..."
Ji Xing took the old mountain ginseng first and looked at it carefully: "It seems to be five hundred years old."
The ginseng doll that looked like a New Year picture doll nodded like pecking at rice: "Five hundred and twelve years. If you eat this, it will be very beneficial. I won't give it to anyone else."
Ji Xing, however, was not interested at all and was still most interested in the ginseng doll: "There are a lot of these things."
The ginseng doll trembled under his gaze, quietly leaned towards An Rugu, and stammered, "I'm not delicious."
"How do you know if you don't eat it?"
Ginseng doll
I don't know who Ji Xing is, but I couldn't bear the dragon's might, and I choked up, my eyes filled with tears, and it seemed like I was going to cry in the next second.
"Don't scare him." An Rugu stopped him when he saw this.
She could see that Ji Xing had no intention of eating the ginseng doll. According to his domineering personality when it comes to eating, if he really wanted to eat it, he would have swallowed it in one gulp.
But the ginseng doll didn't know that. Big tears ran down its cheeks and it was crying out of fear.
An Rugu: “…”
She learned some experience in raising children from the little zombie, but the little zombie was very well behaved and seldom cried. She had never seen a child who cried so easily.
She tentatively raised her hand and touched the face of the ginseng doll, gently wiping away the tears on its face with her fingers: "Don't cry, why are you locked in this box?"
The ginseng doll had just heard that she didn't want to eat itself, so it had a good impression of her. Its heart softened immediately, and its crying gradually subsided.
It seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help dancing with joy, with a big smile on its face: "I went down the mountain to find my friends, and then I met a group of humans. They said they wanted to play hide-and-seek with me. One of them took out a box and told me that I wouldn't be found if I hid in it."
"By the way, did you see them? You need to tell them that I won!"
After the man took out the box, he happily got in and urged the man to close the box quickly. Although he didn't know how many days he had spent hiding in the box, he could vaguely feel that a long time had passed.
No one discovered him for so long, he is indeed the final winner!
An Rugu and Ji Xing: "..."
Ji Xing was speechless: "...You could be fooled by such a simple scam?"
This ginseng doll is so naive, how did it survive to this age?
The ginseng doll was stunned, feeling a little aggrieved: "There is nothing I can do. The monsters on the mountain have to go to work, and there is no one to play with me, so I can only go down the mountain to find them. The game that person mentioned is so novel, I want to play it too."
An Rugu and Ji Xing: "..."
An Rugu paused for a moment and asked curiously, "A monster on the mountain?"
"Yes, sis, have you seen them? My friends look like this."
It stood up in the box, stretched out its hands and waved them in the air as if they were wings, and said excitedly: "The crow spirit has wings and can fly, and its body is pitch black. You can't see it at night!"
Then it turned around, showing its white buttocks, and gestured with its hands behind its buttocks, twisting its buttocks: "Rabbits have small tails, and cats have big tails, about this long, and both are furry."
An Rugu and Ji Xing: "..."
Ji Xing couldn't bear to look at it, he stretched out his hand with disdain, pressed its arm, and turned it around: "You are wearing too little, can we talk nicely?"
The ginseng baby grew up in the mountains and was used to running around naked. After Ji Xing said this, he realized that it was inappropriate.
It turned around a little embarrassedly, holding its butt, and said, "Well, this is what they look like. Have you seen them?"
Its eyes were full of hope, and it was obvious that it cared very much about its monster friends.
An Rugu said, "I saw them. They were just trapped in the same car as you."
Ginseng doll: “???”
An Rugu patiently told the naive ginseng doll everything that had happened, including how the animals were captured after coming down the mountain and stuffed into the circus to perform.
Logically speaking, Zhang Tiankai's witchcraft is not strong, so the monsters should not be able to defeat him. An Rugu is very curious about why he can capture so many monsters.
It turns out that the ultimate reason is that they are too easy to deceive.
Other monsters were deceived by good jobs abroad, at least for real money. This ginseng doll was deceived by just playing hide-and-seek. It's really ridiculous.
Moreover, these deceived victims were sitting in the same car, unaware of each other's existence and thinking that the other was living well.
Oh, the whole family is together!
The ginseng doll couldn't understand complicated things. It only knew that its friend had been captured. The smile on its face
The expression on its face disappeared completely, and it started to cry again with tears in its eyes. But it didn't cry loudly, but sobbed aggrievedly, looking as if it had suffered countless grievances, which was the most heartbreaking.
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have separated from them just for fun. I should have gone down the mountain with them to find work and protected them, so they wouldn't have been deceived."
An Rugu touched the little Jiujiu on its head. According to the ginseng doll's temperament, it was not certain who would protect whom.
Passersby saw the man and woman in the truck and were amazed at their looks. Before they could come to their senses, they heard a child crying.
This child looks so cute and polite, but now he is crying like this, he must have suffered a great injustice!
"Hey, did you see that kid in the car? He's so cute and handsome. He inherited his parents' good looks!"
"You are really young. You are still a child, let alone raising a child. It is harmful to the health of children to cry too much. You need to comfort them quickly."
An Rugu and Ji Xing: "..."
This is not their child!
An Rugu brought Ji Xing and the Ginseng Doll and followed the people from the Special Management Bureau to the office.
Those monsters just walked out of the interrogation room with their heads down. After interrogation, they were found to have a clean background and had never committed any crime. They were also victims in this case.
Therefore, the people from the Special Management Bureau did not make things difficult for them. After registering them as goblins, they released them.
The ginseng doll was so happy to see the hamsters that it rushed to them like a cannonball: "I finally found you. I won't play this time. I want to find a job with you. Let's not separate, okay?"
It felt that it had only been deceived by humans for a while, and that it was very smart and would definitely be able to protect its friends.
The monsters were also very happy to see the ginseng doll. The days they spent with the ginseng doll were indelible memories, bright and warm. If life on the mountain was not too barren, they would not want to go down the mountain.
The hamster spirit's small body burst out with great energy, and he said with great responsibility: "Although there were some problems with the last job, we will definitely find a good job!"
The ginseng doll was very encouraged and kept clapping his hands to express his excitement: "Please find me one, I want one too."
"No problem, I'll leave this matter to your brother rat." The hamster spirit said happily, but on second thought, he couldn't help but raise his paw to cover his mouth.
When they first came down from the mountain, they were full of energy and thought they could dominate human society. However, their ideals were full of hope, but reality was very cruel. Not only did they fail to dominate, but they were also deceived by humans and almost lost their demon pills. This "good start" firmly dampened their spirits and made them doubt themselves.
Living in the human world is not easy!
Can they really survive in human society?
Just as the demons were beating their drums, Ji Xing, who was watching, suddenly said, "I have a good job here, do you want it?"
The hamster spirit still had a good impression of An Rugu and Ji Xing who saved them, and was excited: "What job?"
"There's a monster house over there. There are weasels, foxes, mice and hedgehogs in there. They all come from the mountains just like you. You can find a job in the monster house. Anyway, for you monsters, your major is suitable!"
Many fairies were stunned and looked longing.
The experience of being cheated before made them a little timid: "Will it be so good?"
"You're not going to dig up our demon pills too, are you?"
Ji Xing frowned upon hearing this and said righteously, "Don't be afraid of the rope after being bitten once. That so-called circus hid behind people's backs and tricked you into joining the circus. The procedures are not formal at all. It's obvious that it's a dishonest company!
"But Izumo-kan is a legitimate and respectable company, and recruitment is done at the police station. If there is something wrong with Izumo-kan, wouldn't that be a trap for them?"
Ji Xing turned his head and looked at Captain Wang of the police station next to him: "Am I right?"
Captain Wang: “…”
Other police officers: “…”
After hearing this, Izumo Kanju
How dare they hold a job fair in a police station? That's really serious!
Captain Wang fell silent. Facing the many monsters and their curious gazes, he nodded and said, "It seems to be like this at the moment."
These monsters hated these policemen who were full of powerful energy, but when they saw that they also agreed with Izumo Temple, the balance in their hearts suddenly shifted and they all started to get ready to make a move.
Ji Xing thought of their poor diet and added, "Hamster, don't even think about nuts there. If you want to eat braised pork, they'll give you plenty of it!"
"Crow, you said that others dislike you, but now people have a lot of different aesthetic tastes, and there are many young people in China who like crows. A bad luck star can become a lucky star, and a bird that symbolizes disaster can also have its day!"
“………”
The monsters were so fascinated by what they heard that they wished they could fly to Izumo Temple with wings.
One after another, they rushed to tell An Rugu about their specialties. The hamster could run on a rolling wheel, while the rabbits, wild cats and other monsters had learned acrobatics from the circus... Each of these monsters had its own specialties.
It was the turn of the ginseng doll to attend the job fair. It pinched the corner of its red bellyband, hugged An Rugu's thigh, and said with some concern: "I can't run on rollers, I can't fly, I can only play, what should I do?"
Compared to its fellow monsters, it was simply too weak, so weak that it was too embarrassed to speak, and it only had the courage to stand up at the last moment.
An Rugu registered their information and let them stay here first, and arranged for someone to pick them up when the time comes.
Many monsters happily agreed.
Ji Xing looked at it meaningfully, waved his hand and said, "Just be a mascot, play with these employees and help them relax."
The ginseng doll was dumbfounded: "Can this be considered a job?"
"Of course. I heard that many people are under a lot of pressure at work nowadays and need to see a psychologist for help. Isn't it like you are a psychologist when you play with them? Don't underestimate playing. The truth is to combine work and rest!"
The ginseng doll was confused and stunned. Suddenly, he felt a great sense of responsibility on his shoulders. So he held out his fist with chubby cheeks: "I understand! I will definitely play with them!"
Its work is so important that the world cannot do without it!
The police from the Special Management Bureau nearby: “…”
They were speechless. Is playing with others a job?
Well, currently playing games with others is really a job, and an industrial chain has been formed.
"That's right." Ji Xing nodded deeply.
An Rugu watched the ginseng dolls go find their friends, then turned back to look at Ji Xing, feeling a little curious: "Why do you want to accept them?"
Although Ji Xing didn't say it, she could sense the underlying logic behind Ji Xing's recruitment. He liked to recruit strong fighters, such as the evil demons of Cixin Temple and the Nian Beast. Most likely, he wanted to recruit subordinates.
It was the first time she saw him recruit these low-powered monsters.
Ji Xing glanced at the back of the ginseng doll and did not hide it: "Although the ginseng doll is very weak, it is a great tonic. If you smell it every day, maybe you can improve your cultivation."
An Rugu suddenly realized that his real interest was not in the wine, but in the ginseng doll. The ginseng doll wanted to be with its friends, so it had to recruit its friends before it was willing to go to Chuyun Temple.
"……Thanks."
Ji Xing really took great pains for her.
Ji Xing said sternly, "Why are you being so polite to me?"
"By the way, that chocolate is quite delicious. It's an imported brand, and I can't buy it. Buy me some more."
An Rugu: “…”
However, An Rugu and Xiao Bailong had different opinions on the specific placement of the ginseng doll.
She put the old mountain ginseng that the ginseng doll gave her into her backpack, took out the plan she wrote during the New Year, and leisurely looked through the plan: "The haunted house has a lot of traffic now, but there are only farmhouses in the village, the taste is relatively monotonous, and it is far away. Why not open a food house?"
“We can develop some ginseng-related dishes that can nourish the body and the brain.”
The older policeman was somewhat yearning, but he did not speak.
Those young policemen
He spoke up in support: "I went to your place on a business trip before, and was tricked by a friend to go there. The food in that haunted house was delicious. Although I knew it was haunted, I still couldn't help but go there again. It would be great if there was a separate food house."
"Ginseng-related dishes, this gimmick is great! It will definitely be a hit!"
When they were besieging Youdu before, they went on a business trip to Nancheng and stayed at Chuyun Temple. Almost all of them had been to the haunted house. The special set meals in the haunted house were more horrible and weird than the other, with bloody chicken fillets, skulls and bones... It was impossible to pick up the chopsticks.
But only after eating it did you realize how delicious it was.
The ketchup for the bloody chicken steak is made from tomatoes grown by nearby farmers and is made by hand by the chef. Pour it on the chicken steak and take a bite, and the fresh tomato aroma will make you fascinated.
In terms of color, aroma and taste, all the sets scored full marks except for color. At present, many people in the Beijing Special Management Bureau know that the chef of the haunted house in Izumo Temple is good at cooking.
Although the food is delicious, it is a bit too weird. More than one person has thought, how great would it be if there were normal restaurants?
"Are you finally going to eat it?" Ji Xing said happily.
"...No, I mean developing ordinary ginseng."
Tangchi Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has not been overdeveloped. This primitive dish fits the image of Tangchi Village very well. Maybe it can find a new business opportunity for the villagers to get rich - ginseng farming.
“Oh.” Ji Xing lost interest when he heard that she was not going to eat the ginseng doll. He seemed to have thought of something and stared at the back of the ginseng doll: “…Why spend so much effort to find ordinary ginseng? If you don’t want to hurt it, why not just ask it for some hair?
If it doesn't give it, then just ask it for bath water, it won't hurt it."
That is the essence of ginseng. Hair is the root, and a single hair can have miraculous effects. Bath water also has its spiritual energy and has certain effects.
Police from the Special Management Bureau: “…”
Wait, cooking with bath water?
Even the ginseng doll’s bath water won’t work!
