Chapter 12 The past is as smoke as a mulberry tree
"If he kills a dog when he sees one, hides when he hears water, and clings to dirt when he encounters it, there is still a chance of survival."
The words of the evil little baby suddenly flashed through Zhikarizhen's mind. His heart skipped a beat, and his eyes swept across the adjacent cabins. "Xu one", "Xu two", "Xu three..." The cabins of the black ship are arranged according to ten rules.
According to the order of the two earthly branches, there are nine cabins in No. Xu. Does "kill dogs on sight" mean to kill all ship passengers staying in cabin No.
Zhi Shouzhen felt quite ridiculous. Now that the news was raging, he should be careful to hide. How could he take the initiative to cause trouble? But the nature of the demon body made him rather kill the wrong person than let go. What if these boat passengers were actually after the real Rahu?
?It is wise to strike first and gain the upper hand.
Zhikarizhen stepped into the cabin, the door squirmed shut behind him, and spit out the crystal ticket.
The entire cabin is as round as an egg, and the surrounding walls are made of thick, pale pink meat mounds, covered with the natural body patterns of giant loaches. The bed is against the cabin wall, as if it is also in the Jinchu style surrounded on three sides, and is covered with dry animal materials.
Leather mattress.
"Xiao Qi, can guests change cabins?" Zhi Kaizhen pretended to ask casually.
Xiao Qi was stunned: "Are you dissatisfied with this place? Our ship, Tanyan Giant Loach, has always been hard to get a ticket for. Every time it sails, it is full and there are no spare cabins to change."
"Nothing, I'm just asking casually. Xiao Qi, since your ship is so in demand, it is inevitable that there will be multiple guests squeezing into one cabin?"
"That's not true. Only one passenger is allowed in a cabin. We must limit the number of people on board, otherwise trouble will occur."
"Anyone who can afford to sit on the giant loach must be at least a yellow-level demon, right?"
"Yes, they are mostly yellow demons and mysterious demons. I have also seen several earth demon guests."
"There won't be an old demon on board this time, right?"
"I don't dare to gossip and reveal the details of other guests. Please forgive me, this is the captain's rule."
Zhikari smiled and asked carefully about some matters related to the boat trip. The destination of the black ship's trip was the wilderness on the eastern border of Nanzhanzhou. It stopped nine times on the way and lasted sixteen days, running through it in a zigzag route.
Most of Nanzhanzhou.
The place where he boarded the ship was the second place where the black ship docked.
"Your distinguished guests will rest for now. Xiao Qi has excused himself. If you have anything to do, just send your magic thoughts into the spar ticket and call Xiao Qi's name." The Mole Smoke Spirit twisted and burrowed towards the ground.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zhikari threw out a rewarded magic source. Xiao Qi opened her mouth happily, swallowed it in one gulp, and smacked her lips in recollection: "It's been a long time since I tasted the magic source. It's a pity that Xiao Qi
I ate too fast and didn’t even have time to taste the taste.”
Zhikarizhen threw out another magic source, Xiaoqi put his head in his mouth, chewed it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really crispy and refreshing, but I'm not full yet."
Without changing his expression, Zhi Shou threw the third magic source into Xiao Qi's mouth. The Mole Smoke Spirit burped and touched its belly with satisfaction: "You are a proud guest!" It rolled its eyes and whispered, "In the earth veins
While sailing, you will encounter many strange and strange omens. You don't need to pay attention to them and just pretend you can't see them. These omens can't hurt anyone. In nine days, the ship will dock at the Vortex of the Earth's Veins. You may wish to buy the ship in advance.
I'm wearing a bitter fern coat, and I'm going to hunt for treasure deep in the earth's veins, and try my luck." After that, he got into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
The bitter fern garment is woven from a rare plant called bitter fern. It can resist impact and isolate evil thoughts, but it is very expensive and cannot be afforded by Zhikari who is in a tight situation. He does not care about this thing either.
The reward for Xiaoqi is just to get some information in the future.
According to Xiao Qi, there is one ship passenger in each of the nine "Xu" cabins, but it is not easy to kill them all one by one. Once you face the mysterious demon, you are seeking your own death. Zhikarizhen stayed alone in the cabin, thinking silently.
, suddenly my abdomen twitched violently, my throat felt nauseated, and I couldn't help but spit out a small pool of colorful mucus.
This was a hidden wound left unknowingly by the evil evil spirit of the giant shadow before, and it did not show up until now. Fortunately, after spitting out the mucus, his chest and abdomen felt much more comfortable, and he no longer felt any discomfort.
Zhikarizhen squatted down, got close to the mucus, and smelled a pungent fishy and sour smell. He tried to dip a little of the mucus with his fingertips, and it didn't hurt or itch, but his stomach felt like it was suddenly tightened by an invisible big hand, making a hungry sound.
There was a rumbling stomach. He quickly flicked away the mucus, and when he stood up, he accidentally glanced at the bottom of the bed.
A stack of mulberry leaves lay under the bed in the dim light, bright green, like a silent burning phosphorus fire.
Zhikarizhen's heart suddenly shook, he reached under the bed and grabbed the mulberry leaves.
This is the real Rahu hobby!
Zhikarizhen's expression became gloomy. The leaves made a rustling sound in the palm of his hand, and a gray firestone was wrapped around it. He was silent for a long time, then slowly rolled up a mulberry leaf and rubbed it with the fire.
Fluorite.
A spark flickered, the leaves were scorched, and light blue smoke curled out.
The memory of the demon body flashed back to a scene from many years ago: By the lava lake, the real Rahu stood woodenly, holding an unlit mulberry leaf roll in his mouth.
"Have you really thought about it? If you join our profession, you will die at any time and be abandoned at any time." Yingzhao stood beside him, as if he were standing in a blazing flame, with an unparalleled heroic appearance.
"If I don't join this industry, I will die at any time."
"But at least I won't be abandoned."
"Born in this world, we have long been abandoned by heaven and earth."
Yingzhao looked at Zhen Rahu in silence, rubbing her fingers, and a cluster of sparks burst out and danced on her fingertips. She slowly bent down and lit the mulberry leaf scroll for him.
Light blue smoke floated between the two of them. The smell of smoke was bitter, but the aftertaste was a little sweet...
"Yingzhao is telling you that you were betrayed by her." Mengmengda jumped out of the sea of consciousness and looked at Luosangye solemnly.
"I know." Zhikarizhen replied. A strong and desperate pain rose from the heart of the demon body, like a raging tide, cold and biting. The appearance of the mulberry leaves in the cabin suggested that Zhen Rahu's whereabouts had been leaked.
The ferry tickets were given by Yingzhao, and the only one who leaked the news was Yingzhao.
Why did Yingzhao betray his loyal subordinates? In order to seek greater interests? How many demons on this black ship knew the identity of Zhen Rahu?
"What a strange witch!" Mengmengda blinked her eyes, "You betrayed the real Rahu, and you still have to tell him. Do you feel guilty?"
"Probably." Zhikarizhen felt the restlessness of the demonic nature in his body. Sometimes he was as sad as death, sometimes he was angry, and sometimes he was confused... Such turbulent and intense emotional changes made Zhikarizhen feel incredible and full of strange feelings.
Freshness.
As if he could live in another way.
He stared at the quietly burning mulberry leaves, slowly put them to his lips, took a willful breath, and exhaled a wisp of dreamlike smoke.
The smell of snail mulberry leaves spreads from the mouth to the depths of the body. It is bitter and spicy, but the aftertaste is not sweet at all.
True Rahu is also a strange demon. Zhikari shook his head with a wry smile, and his calm and rational nature overcame his demonic nature: "We can't go to the Abyss. There must be a dragnet set over there, just waiting for True Rahu to take the bait. We are in other places
There is a place to disembark." When he said this, Zhi ShouZhen's heart skipped a beat. The evil little doll said, "Hide when you hear water." Doesn't the word "Yuan" in Huang Yuan mean water?
Is the evil doll really a way out?
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-" There was a sudden knock on the door outside the cabin.
