Chapter 30 Dry Rice Basin

"Dry rice bowl." I grabbed the back of my head and asked in confusion: "Fellow Daoist Xuan, what is a dry rice bowl."

Xuan Jiucao immediately looked back at me and smiled bitterly, "You are now in a dry rice bowl, and you don't even know what the dry rice bowl is."

Seeing that I was still confused, Xuan Jiucao smiled and shook his head: "If you want to say the name 'dry rice bowl', it was the name of you outsiders. It was originally called the Valley of Death. I heard from the old people in the village that about fifty years ago, a group of people inexplicably broke into the primitive canyon in this area, but in the end no one could go out, all of them were 'stewed dry rice'. In your outside words, it was swallowed up by this area, and that's how the dry rice bowl was named."

"...Oh." I nodded slowly: "I didn't expect this dry rice bowl to be so evil. Will it be unaffected if you live in this area for a long time?"

Xuan Jiucao laughed and said, "Why hasn't the effect? ​​If the old people who have lived in the village for most of their lives are accidentally lost in the 'basin' and have to wait for others to rescue them. However, when we grow up here, we naturally have a special way to distinguish directions, haha."

I was stunned and said, "Can I have a fairy with profound knowledge here?"

Xuan Jiucao stopped slightly, but immediately continued to move forward, laughing and said, "If you, the sect, can help, it will naturally not be difficult to find out the reason, but my Taoist skills... are also dark, haha."

As I walked, there was a towering tree in front of me, one by one, with ten people hugging each other, and what made me even more speechless were strange flowers that were more than one person tall, as well as some wild weeds as thick as arms. This... There are several kinds of flowers and plants, which are at most half a foot high outside, but here, it is hard to imagine how they grew into such a terrifying appearance.

After walking around for a long time, I found that every grass and tree here was more than ten times that of the outside world. I asked in surprise: "Fellow Daoist Xuan, what place do you have here... do you have jurisdiction?"

Xuan Jiucao laughed and said, "Don't worry, this place is still in the sun, but the primitive basin in this area is a bit special, several times larger than everything outside, but I have no way of knowing what the specific reason is. Well, the dry rice bowls in our area are under the jurisdiction of Dayangcha, Jiangyuan County..."

"Jiangyuan County, Jiangyuan County is again."

Xuan Jiucao and I were both staring at each other blankly. Soon, Xuan Jiucao asked in surprise: "Date 7th day of the lunar month, you shouldn't even know Jiangyuan County, you don't know Jiangyuan County, Jilin Province."

After thinking about it seriously, I shook my head honestly, saying that I had never heard of it.

Xuan Jiucao immediately fainted on the ground. Fortunately, his appearance was pretending. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said, "Then tell me how you came here, don't tell me you don't even know how you came."

I really don’t know how I got here, but I just remember that the ghost train was carrying me all the way. Could it be... This area is the destination of the ghost train, or maybe it’s just passing here, but I got here after getting off the car. If I told Xuan Jiucao this experience, I don’t know what he would think.

After thinking about it, I smiled and said, "I first arrived here, and then I accidentally entered the mountain and got lost. I saw you on the cliff."

Xuan Jiucao smiled bitterly and greeted him, and then stopped mentioning this matter. Soon, we stopped at a fork. Xuan Jiucao looked at the road conditions in front of him, but had no intention of leaving again. I was about to speak, but when Xuan Jiucao turned around, he said, "Let's go here."

"Uh..." I was stunned. The road ahead was not going well, so why did Xuan Jiucao dive into the woods?

Xuan Jiucao did not explain too much, but said, "We have to leave quickly, otherwise we will not be able to return to the village before it gets dark."

I didn't know what it means to follow Xuanjiu Grass. Soon, we appeared in a deep valley. The sunset was setting, illuminating this primitive area. There were many strange flowers and plants, which were unheard of and unheard of. As well as the rare trees that were unique in the forest, we couldn't even name them. The mountains in the distance overlapped and surrounded, like a sinkhole deep underground, and it was more like a paradise.

After passing through a stream, we immediately walked into another forest. Everything in front of us was almost exactly the same as before. Suddenly, a fragmented sound came from the grass in front of us. I was about to walk forward to see what happened, but unexpectedly, a huge bird rose up and rushed into the air. After a few more thrusts, it disappeared on the top of the giant tree towering into the clouds...

Xuan Jiucao laughed and said, "We are lucky, we actually met Feilong here."

"What." I thought I heard it wrong, so I quickly confirmed: "You mean the big bird just now, what kind of flying dragon."

Xuan Jiucao said happily: "It's not a real dragon. The flying dragon is just its code name. Its real name is hazel rooster. If you can beat one, then boil a pot of wine. Tsk tsk~~~ It's a fairy life."

Then I realized that "dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground", among which "dragon meat" refers to the flying dragon hazel chicken.

After walking for a while in such an environment, I didn't feel anything at first, but gradually, I found a little dizzy in my mind. In the end, I didn't even have the strength to speak. I could only follow Xuan Jiucao's footprints and walked forward step by step. However, he turned left and right at a time, and sometimes he turned back the same way. In this way, before we could go around the woods, the sky was already dark.

"Master, don't use your mind. There are many extremely strong auras here overlapping. The minds in the human body will only have the effect of fueling the fire. If that continues, it will be difficult for you to continue."

"Mei'er." I screamed in surprise, as if I hadn't seen Mei'er for a long time, but I couldn't help but scream, and attracted Xuan Jiucao's attention. He stopped slowly, turned around and asked in surprise: "Quqi, what were you just talking about."

My heart tightened and I quickly shook my head and said, "No, nothing, haha."

Slowly calm down and relax your nervousness. This is why the dizziness in my mind is no longer so strong. I replied happily: "Mei'er, it's great to be able to hear your voice again."

After saying this, I grinned. Although I didn't hear Mei'er's reply, my heart was still warm. Sometimes I thought about it. With Mei'er by my side, I wouldn't feel lonely even if I wandered around the world. Hehe,

Xuanjiucao suddenly stopped again and laughed happily: "We are almost here on the seventh day of the lunar month."

Sure enough, I crossed a hillside, and the mountains and waters in front of me were located in a quiet small mountain village. The clear moonlight shone gently on the surroundings of the small mountain village. The water sparkled, like the Milky Way reflected in it...

Xuan Jiucao smiled and said, "This is the only village in this area, but I live on the other side of the village, let's go here."

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that Xuan Jiucao did not live in the village. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was a pity that I could not live in such a beautiful place... Bypassing the small mountain village, Xuan Jiucao took me straight to a remote stream, with a mountain back on my back. The trees around me covered the sky and the sun. When I saw a dilapidated thatched hut, my heart suddenly became cold.

I smiled bitterly: "Fellow Daoist Xuan, you...you live here."

Xuan Jiucao laughed and said, "Don't look at the dilapidated house, I actually think it's good if I'm used to living in it. This is a humble house, please come in."

"Buzz buzz ~~~"

As soon as I opened the door, I jumped out, but saw a large group of small black dots flowing back and forth in the air. After a closer look, they were huge mosquitoes as big as flies. I hurriedly patted them from side to side, and a row of black lines flashed in front of me: "Fellow Daoist Xuan, you still have the habit of raising mosquitoes."
