"Sir, your dishes are ready, please take your time." The waiter said attentively.
Xu Rui waved his hand, and the waiter turned and left.
By this time, it was completely dark.
"Old Hei, hold the lamp." The charming landlady said.
After the waiter responded, he took the huozhe and lit the lights in the store.
The dim light dispelled the darkness and made the country shop become noisy again.
In particular, the rough and arrogant escorts continued to talk obscenely, and their lustful eyes swept over the beautiful landlady.
However, the latter didn't think so either. With his beautiful eyes, he would joke with the escorts from time to time, which made them feel angry and became more and more unscrupulous.
Xu Rui saw this and shook his head.
They are not good people, and he doesn't bother to care.
"Brother, why don't you eat?"
The scholar opposite was holding a few dry and hard bran cakes, which he had soaked in mutton soup until soft and ate them. Looking at Xu Rui's bowl full of mutton, he didn't move at all. He was so greedy that he drooled and couldn't help but ask.
.
Xu Rui smiled faintly, "I'm not very hungry. If you want to eat, I'll give it to you."
With a wave of his hand, the food, wine, mutton, and food moved two feet in front of the scholar.
Looking at the food and wine in front of him, although he swallowed with greed, the scholar waved his hands repeatedly.
"No reward for no merit, these are all bought by my brother, Ning Caichen dare not accept them..."
"Ning Caichen? Your name is Ning Caichen?!" Xu Rui interrupted.
Ning Caichen was startled. He didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.
"Brother, have you heard of my name?"
He never imagined that he, a poor scholar who had failed many attempts, would be valued by others in a foreign country.
"I've heard it, I've heard it too much."
There are many Japanese ghosts, but none of them can match the fame of the one in front of me.
Xu Rui was happy, he finally figured out where he was.
"However, I wonder if this is the spiritual world of 'A Chinese Ghost Story' or the spiritual world of Liaozhai?"
If it's a Liaozhai, it's going to be complicated. There are all kinds of gods, gods, ghosts, and monsters, so you have to be careful.
But if it's "A Chinese Ghost Story", the main line is clear, which makes it relatively easier.
"I met Ning Caichen when I first came here. This is probably a world dominated by 'A Chinese Ghost Story'." Xu Rui thought to herself.
"You haven't asked me your brother's name yet?" Ning Caichen said.
"Seo Xuandu!"
"It turns out to be Brother Xu."
Even though he said this, Ning Caichen couldn't remember that he knew a person named Xu Xuandu.
Seeing his expression changing and thinking hard, Xu Rui smiled and didn't say much.
At this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Ning Caichen also followed everyone and turned to look at the door.
Soon, under the dim light, a sturdy black figure strode in.
The eight-foot-tall body is full of powerful oppression.
boom.
A huge foot stepped in.
After everyone saw his appearance clearly, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
The person who came was wearing green soft armor, carrying a huge cleaver on his back, with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, and a rough face. A pair of black holes exuded red blood. There were more than a dozen large and small pimples on his face, and he was ugly.
Extremely strange.
The ugly man smiled in front of everyone's scrutinizing eyes. There was a greed in his pale red eyes. He glanced at everyone without any scruples, found an empty table in the corner, and sat down on it with dignity.
"Lao Hei, let me give you a bowl of mutton for Grandpa Zhu. I want a big bowl and a jar of old wine."
"Haha, wait a moment, Mr. Zhu, the younger one will get it for you right away."
The big man took off the knife from his back without any scruples, put it aside, looked at the proprietress at the counter, and said loudly: "Hua Niang, what's going on? Today's mutton is a little short."
The charming landlady who was picking her nails glanced at him and said she was angry.
"It's good to eat some. It doesn't matter what year it is."
As he was talking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside again. Not long after, three men with long, thin faces and sinister expressions stepped in.
After looking at everyone with cold eyes, he walked over to the rough man named Zhu and sat down next to him.
Seeing them, the rough man looked a little more cautious.
"The three Chang family masters are here. What would you like to eat today?"
Lao Hei greeted him with a smile.
"It's still the same."
The shorter man on the left said in a deep voice.
"Okay, you three will wait a moment."
Then people came in one after another, and the farm store, which was originally a little empty, was quickly filled with people.
At this moment, the old lady on the table opposite Xu Rui suddenly stood up. Her movement instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The old lady's eyes trembled, and she tried her best to keep her face calm.
"Come with grandma."
He grabbed the little girl's right hand, walked up to Xu Rui, cupped his fist and saluted.
"Sir, sir, can I and my little granddaughter sit at the same table with you?"
Seeing her eager expression, Xu Rui smiled faintly.
"It's your chance to meet me here. Sit down."
"Thank you sir."
After the old woman bowed respectfully, she took her granddaughter and sat down on the left side of Xu Rui.
Seeing this scene, the charming proprietress who was called the flower girl couldn't help but look towards Xu Rui.
The scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes became more and more obvious.
At this point, the escorts and escorts exchanged glances and stood up at the same time.
The leader took out a silver ingot weighing ten ounces from his arms and put it on the table.
"Seller, the money is here."
After saying that, he grabbed the knife on the table and walked out the door.
Before they could reach the door, the waiter named Lao Hei and the man cutting meat outside the door blocked the entrance.
The expressions of all the escorts changed.
Everyone quickly stood on guard with their weapons in hand.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Hehe, didn't the escorts just say that they wanted to sleep in the same bed with the servants and fly together? Why did you leave so quickly?"
As she spoke, she walked out of the counter. As she moved lightly, the faint fragrance floated, and dark red smoke flew out of her body.
What looked like an ordinary village store suddenly changed.
The thatched roof turned into a darkness so deep that it seemed as if there was no end.
Iron chains hung down from the darkness, and nine large iron cages appeared in mid-air, with eight or nine human beings imprisoned in each iron cage.
The walls of the village shop also lost their appearance of rammed earth, and layers of blood-red flesh walls emerged, looking weird and disgusting.
Seeing this scene, the escorts and escorts in the escort agency turned pale, with despair in their eyes.
They were well-travelled, but they never expected that they would run into monsters even though they were careful.
"Haha, Hua Niang, your butcher shop is finally open again."
The ugly man named Zhu stood up and laughed.
With laughter, his ugly head turned into an ugly pig's head in the blink of an eye.
Thick black bristles, half-broken fangs, blood-red eyes, and greedy eyes.
"Monster, monster!
"
A waiter saw this and screamed in fright. His body went limp and he fell to the ground. A stream of yellow soup flowed down the river.
Seeing it reveal its true form, those who came after it showed their original appearance one after another.
With a wolf head, a snake body, and a leopard tail, a group of demons danced wildly, and the evil spirit overflowed.
Lao Hei, the waiter in the shop, also revealed his demon body, and turned out to be a big black mouse.
The butcher who cuts the meat is an old wolf with yellow hair.
Only the landlady, who is called the flower girl, still maintains her human body.
Flying lightly into the air, he waved the fan in his hand and said with a charming smile.
"Dear friends traveling from north to south, my fragrant butcher shop is opening today and I am short of some meat. I would like to ask you to give up this fragrant meat and have a banquet with my family."
"Hua Niang, these are just meats on eucalyptus boards, why bother with them? It's better to take out your "Huntian Steamer" quickly and steam these fragrant meats, so that we can have a feast."
"That's right. We all came all the way here just to have a taste of the fragrant meat from your fragrant butcher shop. Why bother with so much trouble?"
The demons couldn't help but complain...
Hua Niang smiled calmly, "Dear demon friends, Hua Niang, I don't want to waste my words, but this time we have a powerful person coming to our Xiang Meat Shop. If we don't take him down, I'm afraid we won't be able to make this Xiang Meat Banquet."
"Who? Who dares to delay our family's meat feast?"
A tiger demon said angrily.
His big copper bell-like eyes glanced around.
The menacing look in his eyes and the strong murderous aura caused the surrounding escorts and escorts to tremble and dare not look at him.
Seeing them like this, the tiger demon showed disdain in his eyes.
He turned to look at the other table.
The trembling poor scholar, the trembling little girl, the gray-haired old woman with a hint of fear in her eyes, and...
"Um?"
Looking at the smiling face, as if looking at a group of clowns, the tiger demon instantly understood.
He is the person Hua Niang is talking about.
Not only him, but other demons also noticed Xu Rui, who looked strange.
Although there are many reckless people among the monster clan who can cultivate to the point of transformation, there are definitely not many fools who can remain calm when surrounded by so many golden elixir monsters.
Either he is a fool or he is really capable.
And the other party was neatly dressed and looked impressive, so he was obviously not a fool.
The flower girl turned her head and looked over with a charming smile, but there was murderous intent in her eyes.
"Dare you ask your friend your Taoist number?"
Xu Rui smiled faintly, "You fox is really smart."
Hua Niang's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of wariness in her eyes.
Being able to see through her true form at a glance, her cultivation level is definitely not inferior to that of the late Jindan stage.
"Since you asked, I won't hesitate to tell you. My Taoist name is 'Qingyang', and those who practice call me 'Qingyang Taoist Lord'."
Since Xu Rui's deal with Wutaishan Huikong, his name has gradually spread.
In the current world of cultivation, ‘Qingyang Daojun’ has also become a master of casual cultivation in the hearts of monks.
But the monks in "A Chinese Ghost Story" must have never heard of it.
"Qingyang Daojun?"
All the demons thought about it individually, without any impression in their minds.
However, this number is too big, and people with no skills cannot bear it.
"Qingyang Taoist Lord? I want to see how capable you are, you idiot."
The strong man transformed by the pig demon snorted angrily, stretched out his hand to grab it, and with a 'cang' sound, the big knife on the table flew into his palm. With a low shout, he slashed it down with the knife.
The fierce sword light was like a giant knife magnified ten times, and it fell head-on with a frightening evil aura.
Xu Rui seemed not to notice, still sitting there quietly.
When the sword came to his head, his heart moved, and the Taiyi Staff placed on the table flashed with light.
The light of the sword, which looked like thunder and was extremely domineering, suddenly solidified.
It was as if everything had stopped.
This weird scene made the surrounding monsters change their expressions instantly.
The pig demon's magic sword moves are domineering and powerful, and his methods are stronger than most of them. The result is that such sword skills were easily broken by the opponent.
This kind of cultivation is really shocking.
"Xu Daoyou has a high level of cultivation and a very handsome approach." Hua Niang's face changed slightly, and she chuckled after a moment.
Xu Rui's expression remained unchanged and he stretched out his hand.
The Taiyi Staff placed on the table slowly fell into his palm.
With a wave of his hand.
The sealed sword light suddenly turned around and flew towards the demons.
The pig demon's expression changed drastically when he saw his tyrannical momentum.
He waved the sword in his hand fiercely and took the initiative to meet him.
boom.
With a loud noise, the sword light scattered in all directions, and the sharp sword energy instantly tore the tables and chairs within two feet into pieces.
The demon clan who were closer also tried to avoid it, but they were still inevitably affected by the fish in the pond, which made them quite embarrassed.
Before they could come to their senses.
As soon as Xu Rui threw the Taiyi staff in his hand, a bright green aura filled the air, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a three-foot-tall black bamboo.
Soon, black knotted bamboos grew up one after another and spread rapidly around.
The demons saw that it was not good and quickly activated their magical weapons.
In an instant, the light of the sword soared into the sky.
However, these black knot bamboos have been practiced by Xu Rui for many years. Although they have not become magic weapons, they are still top spiritual weapons. They are not only as strong as fine steel, but also have powerful sealing aura.
After being shrouded by the Black Bamboo, no matter whether it was a magical weapon or a demon cultivator, they were all sealed by the spiritual light of the Taiyi Staff.
"Huh?"
Xu Rui looked up and saw streams of red air filling the room.
The surrounding heat expanded instantly.
The temperature rises sharply.
"whee!"
The crisp and seductive laughter echoed throughout the room.
"You have some abilities as a young man, but once you've entered my 'Huntian Steamer', no matter how powerful you are, you can't even think of escaping. Young man, you'd better be my Hua Niang's fragrant meat, hehe. …!”
"Huntian steamer? It's just a medium-level magic weapon, and it can make you so arrogant."
Reach out and grab it.
The surrounding woods disappeared instantly, along with the previous demons and dozens of humans trapped here.
Xu Rui holds the Taiyi Staff.
With a wave of his right hand, the space shattered, and a black space channel emerged.
As soon as he took a step, his figure disappeared instantly.
When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of feet in the air.
As far as you can see, the former village shop has disappeared.
A huge steamer with a height of nine stories and a diameter of more than six feet looms over the former village store.
On the left side of the steamer, the fox demon called Hua Niang was tightening her magic skills and spitting out real fire, making the steamer boiling hot.
The rat demon named Lao Hei and the yellow-haired old wolf butcher were blowing air to fill the charcoal, making the flames on the steamer even hotter.
Xu Rui looked at it and was a little surprised.
He also didn't expect that there were such strange treasures in this world.
A big steamer?
At this moment, the fox demon, who was the master of the steamer, also noticed Xu Rui's disappearance.
In panic, he quickly looked around and soon saw Xu Rui standing on a white cloud not far away.
The fox was also alert, knowing that he was no match for the opponent, so he put away the steamer basket, ignored the black-furred mouse and the yellow-furred old wolf, and flew away into the distance like lightning.
"Run? Can you run away?"
He activated the innate spiritual cloud, as fast as lightning, and was behind the fox demon in the blink of an eye.
The Taiyi Staff was struck from the palm of the hand.
boom.
The fox demon was directly beaten away.
However, protected by the steamer, she was not injured.
Seeing this, Xu Rui's heart moved, and a black jade lock rushed forward like lightning.
Feeling the aura of this jade lock that was stronger than his own Huntian Steamer, the fox demon's expression instantly changed and he screamed loudly.
"I am the fourth ambassador under Lord Beifu. You can't kill me, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Soul-Absorbing Locks, which had become a superior magic weapon, had penetrated the steamer's defense and directly captured the fox demon's soul.
There was a flash of light, and the body of a three-tailed demon fox appeared in front of him.
Shake his hand.
Soul Binding Lock grabbed the body and the steamer and returned them to his hands.
Just throw it away.
The soul-binding chain extended infinitely, and the escaped black mouse and yellow-haired old wolf were quickly captured together.
When the consciousness touches the steamer, the golden finger appears.
"Huntian steamer, seventh grade medium."
After erasing the consciousness of the fox demon inside, and doing a few simple exercises, I understood the function of this magic weapon.
Looking at the big steamer in front of him, Xu Rui looked a little strange.
This magical instrument is really a container for steaming things. The internal space is vast enough to accommodate a giant object measuring thousands of feet.
The burned array can also absorb the fire aura and turn it into a flame to heat the steamer. If real fire is used to assist, the temperature will rise faster.
Other than that, this steamer doesn't have much lethality.
Because the material is extraordinary and extremely strong, it has strong defensive power.
"This thing is completely flashy. Is it made just for steaming things? This so-called Beifu Lord is too extravagant."
Thinking of this, my heart moved, and I directly activated the puppet seal to control the spirit of the demon fox.
