Chapter 87 He really deserves to die (Update)
Lin Du's mind was ready to move, but suddenly a hand was pressed on his shoulder, "Uncle Junior Master, let's go, we're going to Qinglu Village."
It was Mo Lin.
He rarely took the initiative to reach out to touch Lin Du.
Lin Du suppressed his doubts, thanked the two girls again, and reached out to close the door.
Almost at the moment the door was closed, Lin Du looked through the courtyard gate and saw the two girls turned and walked into the house at the same time, the silver ornaments on their bodies rustling.
The group walked out of the alley, and Mo Lin just spoke, his sword-like eyebrows slightly wrinkled, "It's a corpse puppet."
Lin Du's heart skipped a beat, and his mind quickly thought of the content recorded in his notes the day before.
Xia Tianwu also nodded, "Indeed, they look no different from ordinary people. The exotic flowers and vines cover up the deathly aura, so you didn't notice that the two people had no vitality. Moreover, the people who refined them had extremely special techniques. Their bodies are almost the same as before death. Their expressions and tones are still the same as before death, and..."
"Those two girls were probably very happy when they died, so there is no resentment in their bodies."
Lin Du has already recalled that in the western part of southern Yunnan, there was a group called Corpse Refiners, who refined corpses into puppets, but most of them could only act according to instructions, and their appearance still retained the appearance when they were refined. Most of them were not very good-looking, and they had a very heavy evil aura on their bodies. They were not like the two girls who were talkative and cheerful.
She just thought it was a puppet with consciousness, but she felt it was strange, so she hesitated to confirm it.
It is written in the book that there is a kind of corpse puppet that is not aware that it is dead.
Mo Lin did not let her investigate, perhaps because he was afraid of angering the corpse puppet.
As expected, talking on paper is not as good as practicing, Lin Du played with the folding fan in his hand.
Tao Xian also heard this, but did not say anything, just followed mechanically.
"Fellow Daoist Tao, would you mind asking for directions? Or do you know that village?" Lin Du tilted his head and looked at Tao Xian.
Tao Xian came back to his senses, "I'm afraid I have to ask for directions."
Although he was from southern Yunnan and was familiar with the distribution of power and folk customs in various places, this was in the western part of southern Yunnan, not within the sphere of influence of the Flying Star Sect. Those small mountain villages were scattered in the mountains, and it would take some effort to find them.
Lin Du said, "I thought that Taoist Tao was very familiar with the nearby mountain villages."
After all, when they were on the boat, he said that you can go to the mountain villages in the western part of southern Yunnan to eat Lingsong, which is the place of production and the freshest.
Maybe, like her, it's just talk on paper?
Tao Xian asked a small vendor for directions. The vendor used a wooden cart to carry a cart of mountain products. The clouds and mists were shrouded in the Phoenix City, and the sunlight was not too dazzling, but Lin Du squinted his eyes.
She wanted to crack open Tao Xian's head to see what was hidden inside.
After all, she was always a little worried about the people of Feixing Sect.
Although there was no evil spirit on this person, and only the spiritual power fluctuations of a righteous disciple, there was indeed something strange about him. They
left home early in the morning and landed in Phoenix City in the afternoon. Shao Fei and Mo Lin were mortals and were already a little hungry.
It's not that they didn't have the Qigong Pill, but that thing was for people who temporarily entered the cave in the mountains to practice in seclusion, and it was not suitable for people who were in a hurry.
"Eat first and then hurry." Lin Du took a look at Mo Lin, who was starting to feel cold again, and Shao Fei, who was already pale, and made a final decision.
Tao Xian was stunned for a moment, "Master, don't you use the Bigu Pill?"
"That stuff is a bit greasy," Lin Du crossed her arms, "and it doesn't make you full."
She had read that Bigu Pills used ginseng, Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, Chinese yam, Astragalus, jujube, peanut kernels, chestnut kernels, walnut kernels and the like. Depending on the level of wealth, the ingredients used can be simple or luxurious, and some use soybeans.
In simple terms, it is a large concentration of protein, carbohydrates and unsaturated fatty acids.
This thing is generally used by monks when they enter the caves in the mountains for retreat, because retreat is mostly for meditation and cultivation, and the consumption is not large, so a few pills can provide the nutrients needed for a day.
But Lindu is still growing up, nicknamed "Never Full", and Molin practices body cultivation all year round, scientific name "Always Hungry". The basic metabolism of the two people is ridiculously large every day, and they have to eat a lot of fasting pills.
They don't like to eat either.
The Supreme Sect doesn't need to take fasting pills, anyway, they can go without food and drink after advancing to the fourth stage in a few hundred years at most.
Tao Xian: ...This damn rich kid.
Do you know how expensive pure spiritual food is outside?
If it is ordinary food that is not grown in the spiritual field, there are too many impurities and it is not conducive to cultivation.
These people are like rich kids who don't know the suffering of the people, and naturally think it's just a small matter.
Tao Xian discussed in a low voice, "I am just an ordinary disciple of Feixing Sect. I will have to save money to marry a wife in the future. Taoist priest, please forgive me."
"Don't you have a hospitality fee in your company?" Lin Du asked.
It seems that Feixing Sect is not doing well. What good company does not allocate hospitality fees to external liaison personnel?
Tao Xian felt that his chest was hit by a sword again, and shook his head with a frown.
"Forget it then." Lin Du still had a conscience, "But, you don't have a wife, why do you want to save money for a wife?"
Except for some special Taoist traditions, Taoist practitioners still support their marriage.
Tao Xian shook his head, "I joined the sect to save money for a wife."
As he said this, he suddenly felt a little stunned. Why did he want to save
money for a wife? Maybe it costs a lot to marry a wife these days?
Finally, the five of them found a small shop and ate rice noodles.
The brocade robes and jade belts of the three people from the Supreme Sect were out of place in the messy environment of the shop, but the three of them didn't notice it. There were only a couple in the shop, one serving dishes and the other cooking noodles, and the hot and sour taste wafted over the
noodles. "Boss, first give me twelve bowls of goose meat noodles." Mo Lin started to order as usual, "Round noodles or flat noodles? Flat ones, please."
Tao Xian was stunned for a moment, "Master Mo Lin, twelve bowls are too much, I only need to eat one bowl, and Shao Daoyou probably also..."
Mo Lin turned his head and glanced at Tao Xian, "Ah, do you want to eat too?"
"Boss, add two more bowls, the price will be extra."
Tao Xian:?
He looked at Lin Du helplessly, only to see the young boy's handsome face full of doubts, and then he said, "Is twelve bowls enough? The little girl at the door just now told me that a bowl of noodles is only two taels, how about five bowls per person?"
Tao Xian covered his heart, he actually thought Lin Du said something serious.
Five people gathered around a small wooden table with a gap and knife marks. Just as four bowls were served, Lin Du pushed the other two bowls of noodles in front of the two people from Feixing Sect.
Tao Xian was somewhat moved, and then he saw Lin Du and Mo Lin each took a bowl. The cold female cultivator who had never spoken to him from beginning to end did not change her expression and stuffed two pairs of chopsticks for them, "Eat first, don't get too hungry, your body temperature is almost colder than ice."
After witnessing this scene, Tao Xian suddenly felt that the noodles in the bowl were not fragrant, and he really deserved to die.
How could he forget that these two were injured, how could Shao Fei eat it.
But soon Tao Xian's guilt was replaced by surprise. The two disciples of Lin Feng Zhilan's Supreme Sect held the bowl and ate a bowl of noodles happily. After a while, Shao Fei only finished a chopstick of noodles, and the two bowls of noodles were empty.
"Ah, I'm so hungry." Lin Du took the handkerchief Xia Tianwu gave her and wiped her mouth. The taste of Phoenix City is sour and spicy, the flat noodles are soaked with the taste of the soup, and the meat has long been brined, so there is no problem in swallowing it directly.
One bowl is appetizing, two bowls are filling, three bowls are tasty, four bowls are half full, and five bowls are the end.
At this time, Tao Xian and Shao Fei haven't even finished their bowl.
"Boss, check out." Lin Du stood up and unconsciously paid for the twelve bowls of noodles. He turned around and glanced at the dazed Tao Xian, "Have you finished eating? Eat well so you can get going."
