Chapter 613 Half Fish
Sikong Qing opened her red lips and was about to say something when suddenly a huge shadow similar to an animal's foot slapped down and smashed the communication talisman, and Sikong Qing's communication was cut off.
Xiao Chujing was thinking that Sikong Qing would be in great danger this time, and he was in a good mood.
If Sikong Qing had found Ye Xiaoman by now, he would have rushed home immediately. Sikong Qing was busy with his own affairs, so he could slow down his pace.
I feel like going home every day.
In the past, he wandered around the world and never looked back, but now he can't wait to go back after leaving Ye Xiaoman for a few days. Is this the psychological change of a man with a family?
Xiao Chujing thought of Ye Xiaoman, took a sip of tea, and a faint dimple appeared on his face.
He put down the teacup, and the magic circle on the wall of the cup lit up, automatically refilling the cup with tea.
The water ripples on the cup surface were swaying, the tea leaves were floating up and down, and the face of a ghost was reflected on the water surface. The ghost was secretly spying on him with the corners of his eyes, with a treacherous expression on his face.
In recent days, whether Xiao Chujing was staying in a hotel or staying in a hotel, he was under surveillance more and more frequently, as if he was being targeted by some force.
The dimples on Xiao Chujing's face faded and disappeared. He threw down a few spirit coins, picked up the life sword on the table, and left the tea stall.
He walked lazily on the street filled with ghosts, holding his sword. His eyes seemed to glance at the ground unintentionally, and he saw several black shadows on the ground, twisted like earthworms, crawling forward along with his shadow, following him.
Xiao Chujing walked aimlessly, through the streets and alleys, and finally he chose an abandoned house, jumped over the wall, and planned to rest there tonight.
Hotels in the ghost world are generally regular places and extremely dangerous. Choosing an unowned piece of land in a corner to spend the night can save you a lot of trouble.
The evening glow is as red as blood, and smoke rises from thousands of houses.
In some ways, the evil ghosts in the ghost realm are stubborn and ridiculous creatures. They don't need to eat the dead, but they insist on repeating their habits in life.
It will only make people laugh at you.
A beautiful woman walked out from the depths of the misty smoke on the eaves.
She wore a long black dress that turned red as she moved, resembling a surging wave of blood. Her features were beautiful, and her lips were as red as flames, complementing the vibrant red peony in her bun.
At around forty years old, the sense of weariness between his eyebrows and eyes, which comes from having seen the vicissitudes of life, is particularly charming.
She was carrying a pitch-black coffin on her back. The coffin was huge, with the lower end touching her calves and the upper end much higher than her head.
As the woman walked, she whispered to the coffin behind her.
"Husband, today's sunset is so beautiful. Doesn't it resemble the scenery of Mount Unknown? When we lived in seclusion, we always climbed to the top of the mountain in the evening to watch the sun set."
There was a low buzzing sound coming from inside the coffin, as if it was talking to the woman. The scene was weird and terrifying.
The woman covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't be angry, Xiao Chujing is nearby. I will chop him into eight pieces and take back our magic weapon."
The last word "Bao" was still lingering in her voice when the woman suddenly disappeared from where she was.
Xiao Chujing is fishing.
He discovered that there was a small river behind the abandoned house. The river ran through the entire town. The water in the river was extremely clear, a rare sight in the ghost world. It was home to the only kind of fish in the ghost world that was edible for humans, called the half-faced fish.
The half-faced fish is a local specialty found only in the ghost world. It has a very strange appearance. One side has fish meat and is covered with scales like an ordinary fish, while the other side is covered with fish bones, as if someone had eaten half of it and then released it.
It is said that the half-faced fish has the IQ of a three-year-old child. It is very smart and never bites the bait. Therefore, if you want to catch a half-faced fish, you need to use special methods.
Every few steps along the river, there is a half-dead willow tree.
Xiao Chujing picked a willow leaf, held it lightly with his lips, blew gently, and a piece of music flowed out from his lips.
The melody is pleasant and has a magical power that makes people fascinated by listening. This is a method used by sound cultivators and is often used to capture monsters.
Sure enough, a large school of fish were attracted by Xiao Chujing. They stopped in front of him with their heads raised. When they heard the high notes, they would jump out of the water happily, as if they could appreciate the music.
Yuan Guiwang, the ghost king of the Land of Death, came to look for Xiao Chujing in person according to the information from the evil spirits. When she arrived at the scene, this was the scene she saw.
A man stood under a willow tree, playing music with leaves. The scenery of the Jiangnan water town was beautiful, with black tiles and white walls. The setting sun at dusk was reflected on the water, and broken gold flowed on the water. He stood facing the last rays of sunset. The broken gold and the skylight were reflected on his face, and his facial features flickered like the water.
His face was sometimes covered with a bright halo, and then the light drifted away, revealing his handsome profile.
The loose hair on the side of her face was blown by the wind, with golden light shining through her hair. She looked extremely gentle as she lowered her eyes and played the flute.
Yuan Guiwang's eyes were stung by this scene and his pupils contracted.
She recalled the scene of her first meeting with her husband.
In the sunset that day, her husband was tall and handsome, standing under the willow trees and playing music. She rode her green donkey past him and saw him across the river. That glance ruined her life.
Seeing that there were enough fish, Xiao Chujing stopped playing and was about to start fishing.
Suddenly a hoarse voice came from the other side.
"Boy, there are some tricks to catching half-faced fish."
Xiao Chujing looked up and saw a woman in black talking to him with a smile. A huge coffin stood beside her, looking extremely strange and dangerous.
All the ghosts that were passing by disappeared in an instant, leaving only the two of them.
Xiao Chujing remained calm, his eyes fixed on the strange runes branded on the surface of the coffin. He recognized that these runes were part of the same set as the Ghost King Ku Rong Nine Tribulations Coffin in his hand.
The identity of the visitor was obvious.
The moment Xiao Chujing raised his head, Yuan Guiwang discovered that there was always a difference between him and his husband.
The man is still young, full of youthful vigor and vitality, which is different from her husband's decadent and decadent debauchery.
Young men would often blush and be too embarrassed to look at her directly when they saw her, but Xiao Chujing took the liberty to look directly at her, his handsome eyes and eyebrows looking at her with a half-smile, playfully and romantically, like a master of love. She could not imagine what this man looked like when he blushed.
He has a rare good-looking appearance, but unfortunately his lips are too thin. He is ruthless but appears to be affectionate, and is destined to break the hearts of women all over the world.
The wind blew strongly, the willows rustled, and the green leaves fell.
Xiao Chujing was unable to dodge all of the Ghost King's attacks. A willow leaf brushed across his face, leaving a cut.
Xiao Chujing turned his face slightly, blood oozing from the wound, and the smile on his face deepened.
Yuan Guiwang's red lips curled up into a charming smile, "Look, the fish are running away."
Xiao Chujing bent down to fish out the fish with a cynical fake smile, "Senior, what advice do you have?"
There is a skill to catching half-fish. You must catch a male and a female fish at the same time, otherwise the fish will turn into dry bones after being taken out of the water.
Xiao Chujing did a great job.
