Chapter 263 The Ghost in Turtle City

"Why is your horse running so fast?"

The young man led the horse over and looked at the little girl and her horse with a pair of surprised and puzzled eyes.

"I told you that my horse is short, but it is good at running." Song You said with a smile, "It actually stole my reputation."

"It's okay. Anyway, I only ran third. Without you, I wouldn't have gotten first." The young man smiled brightly. "Today is my first day here. There are still a few days left. I will run again tomorrow."

"I wish you all the best to win the championship tomorrow."

"Where did you stay last night?"

"Live on that mountain."

Song You turned around and pointed at the top of the mountain where he stayed last night.

"Is it so far?" The young man turned around and took a look before saying, "Why don't you live down there? It's so lively at night. If you live in the mountains, you can meet bad guys and wolves."

"It's clean up there."

"What about tonight?"

"It's hard to tell tonight."

"My father said that you are very powerful, and we invite you to have dinner with us today."

"this……"

Song You couldn't help but smile.

There have been many such facts since entering Yanzhou, especially when we were walking in the grassland. The people here seemed to be like this. After just a few words, they could invite people to eat in the tent.

To the locals, this seems to be a very common thing.

After a moment of hesitation, he agreed.

The young man was happy to lead the way.

While walking along the way, they chatted with each other for a while, and then they learned that his surname was Lin Minle, and his father was originally a businessman from the east of Yanzhou. Because he came to do business on the grassland of Doda, he somehow stayed and became his son-in-law.

After entering the tent, his father came to receive him, while his mother and sisters went to work cooking. Lin Le's younger brother was also in the tent. Several people curiously talked to the Taoist priest from the south.

Lin Le's father's name is Lin Chang.

Knowing that Song You came from Hezhou, Lin Chang asked about the current situation in Hezhou. Hearing that the Taoist had traveled all over the world, Lin Le and his brother asked him if he had ever encountered monsters or ghosts.

The content of the chat is like a story from a fantasy novel.

Until lunch at noon.

With limited conditions on the grassland, oatmeal is the staple food, plus beef, mutton and milk tea. It is not rich, but it has nothing to do with simplicity.

A large piece of boiled beef and mutton was simmered until it was very thin. It was served on a plate and was still steaming hot when served.

"Eat eat eat!"

Lin Chang greeted quickly.

"Thank you for your hospitality, master." Song You thanked you as usual, and then took out a small jar, "I'm sorry to just eat your master's food, but I also have something good that I got from the south. I want to give it to my master."

Try it and see if it suits your taste."

"What?"

Song You then stood up.

Holding small jars, they walked up to the host's house and poured some of the homemade dipping sauce mixed with spices and chili on their plates, regardless of age or sex.

It's not spicy at all, it's mainly fragrant.

There was only a small half of the can in the can, so after dividing it, the whole can was just empty.

"This is a kind of spice. It's best used to dip meat." Song You returned to his seat and saw everyone looking at him with doubts. He took the lead in cutting a piece of meat with a knife, dipped some in it, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

After swallowing it all, he said to them, "Master, please don't worry. It's not a poisonous thing. It's just a way of repaying my enthusiasm."

Prairie people have a heroic temperament and don't have so many twists and turns.

It's just that Yanzhou has not been peaceful in recent years. Everyone has heard many stories about demons and ghosts using magic to harm people. In addition, Song You was wearing a Taoist robe and looked like he knew magic. This inexplicable powder would not work even if he ate it first.

Some people are afraid to speak easily.

However, when I thought about it, I entertained him warmly, and there was really no reason for others to harm me. Besides, there were so many people outside at the Zhengzheng Prairie Association at this time, even if it was really a monster, I would have to restrain myself.

The host cut a piece of meat, dipped it in the yellow-red powder that had been added with many spices, put it in his mouth, and tasted it.

"Um?"

The male host's expression suddenly condensed.

The others then followed suit.

Cut the meat with the same knife, dip it in some dipping sauce, put it in your mouth and taste it, your eyes will open wide immediately.

The Taoist smiled slightly.

In this era, even in the relatively prosperous and culturally prosperous South, food skills are quite limited. Even if the nobles of the South taste their secret recipe for the first time, they will probably experience an unprecedented novel experience on their taste buds, not to mention

People who live on the grasslands probably don't have many other seasonings besides salt.

From their expressions, Song You saw Shu Yifan who had tasted it for the first time.

Song You himself, on the other hand, ate too much, and felt that the cattle and sheep on the grassland were of high quality, and they were delicious just as they were, and there was really no need for any other embellishments.

The taste is like this, sometimes the strange addition is very big.

So I treated them to a special treat.

It can be seen that the whole family enjoys it very much.

When they finished eating, Lin Le's brother wanted to ask Song You if there was more, but his father obviously knew how precious this spice was, so he stopped him with a drink.

There really isn’t much left in Song You.

After dinner, we sat and talked for a while, and in the afternoon, we met again to watch a horse roping competition.

This is a competition between technology and strength.

It's very beneficial to travel with Lin Le's family. They can act as translators. If Song You doesn't understand anything, you can ask them. You can understand much more deeply than walking around alone.

Another bonfire was lit in the evening.

Song You and Sanhua Empress were still dragged along by Lin Le's family to play together. Even their luggage and sheep were placed in their tent. Then a group of people sat by the bonfire and experienced the feast on the grassland.

Some people sang and some danced.

There are also experts who are accompanying the officials who come out to perform magic. A piece of dried meat can be shared with everyone present, and a pot of wine can be poured out to everyone present without any charge. Lin, who was sitting with Song You,

The Le family also took a plate and asked for dried meat to eat. They also took a wine glass and asked for wine to drink. After tasting it, they said that the meat was good meat and the wine was also good wine.

Others who tasted it also gave rave reviews.

Even Song You asked for some to taste, and after tasting it, he gave the dried meat to Empress Sanhua.

Don't tell me, it tastes really good.

But it's just good. It's far from as amazing as the praises of everyone present, especially those officials. The extra points should be due to psychological effects and spell bonuses.

"It's really amazing."

Lin Chang said to Song You.

"yes."

Song You knew that these dried meats and wine were probably hidden in a nearby tent, but he did have some skills, and he was not stingy with a compliment.

"This man's magic is really amazing!" Lin Changze seemed to be amazed, "How many people can be saved in a famine?"

"Maybe."

Song You still refused to tell the truth.

At this time, Lin Le's younger brother was heard saying: "Such a powerful god, why don't you go and kill all the ghosts in that city to the north?"

Lin Chang's expression changed when he heard this:

"Freeze said!"

"Huh?" Song You couldn't help but feel a little curious after hearing this, and said, "I wonder what's going on with the ghosts in the north?"

"It's just kids talking nonsense."

"I'm heading north."

"..."

Lin Chang heard this and hesitated.

He turned to look at Song You and saw him staring at him with a curious look on his face. The little girl who had been sitting obediently and silent beside him also turned around and stared at him. After thinking for a while, he spoke:

"It's not really a secret. I heard that my husband spent the night alone on the top of the mountain last night, so I wanted to remind him. About thirty or forty miles to the north from here, there is an earthen city that was originally used to station troops.

But there was no one there many years ago. I heard they were all ghosts, and later there was no grass growing around it. These ghosts don’t eat people, they just often come out and steal some cattle, sheep, and horses to eat. Even if the gentleman knows magic
