When the dim yellow clouds overhead were swallowed up by the black moon.
The thunder in the sky also disappeared.
The underworld in front of him calmed down again, as if everything was back to what it was before.
The only change is that there is a big, round black moon in the originally dark sky.
On the water surface, you can still vaguely see some mutilated pieces of meat, floating on the underworld.
"Let's go."
The old man's face was expressionless. He didn't know if it was an illusion. Ding Xiaoyi looked at him and felt that this guy had become much older all of a sudden. There were a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and a little more white hair on the temples.
He seemed a little tired, so he said "let's go" and sat on the bow of the boat with his eyes closed to relax.
Seeing this, his mind suddenly moved, and he thought of something, but without making a sound, he controlled the Chikishu boat to go back.
On the way back, Ding Xiaoyi asked Bai Pangpang what the old man was trying to do by opening up the abandoned ancient road, and now that the ancient road has disappeared again?
He always felt that after going out for a walk, nothing special seemed to happen.
I always feel like the thunder is louder than the raindrops.
Could it be that the time left in my grandfather's diary was just because it would open an ancient road?
I always feel that something is missing, but what exactly is missing, I can't tell.
But having said that, my gains are not small.
A drop of Xuantong Beast's hard work caused the strength of his second soul to soar, and he benefited a lot.
And the piece of wood in the box.
Judging from the firm tone of Bai Pangpang and the others in the group, it must be the same thing.
Based on these two items alone, he will make a profit this time.
Bai Pangpang just looked mysterious and did not respond to his own question. He just answered what was not asked and said: "Everything is determined!"
Tutu also refused to talk.
As for Liao Qiu, she was quite happy to chat with Ding Xiaoyi.
But he knew about the same as Ding Xiaoyi, and the two of them talked more about modifying cars.
Until it was time to return to Chaimu's new home.
Bai Pangpang couldn't help but stood up from the cabin with a look of eagerness. His belly was already hungry and thirsty.
Ding Xiaoyi continued to chat with Liao Qiu, but his peripheral vision was focused on Old Man Zao.
Seeing the Chi Kissing Boat getting closer and closer, his heartbeat began to accelerate slightly.
However, when the Chikisui boat was about to dock, Old Man Zao stood up very alertly, jumped up, and landed far away on the big rock that he usually guarded.
Ding Xiaoyi glanced at Ding Xiaoyi with a smile on his face, his playful look shocked him, it was obvious that his original little plan had failed.
At this time, the bad old man said to Bai Pangpang: "When the black moon comes out, people in the underworld will definitely be panicked. I need to go back and monitor the underworld in the ten palaces."
"Why don't you eat a duck neck before leaving? Anyway, we are not in a hurry!"
Bai Pangpang teased the old man.
"Hmph, if you are willing, you can help me with a duck's butt, I will thank you!"
After finishing speaking, the bad old man turned around for a few steps without turning his head and disappeared into the distance.
Seeing the bad old man leaving like this, Ding Xiaoyi felt a little disappointed. He didn't know whether he was disappointed that the bad old man was too vigilant, or he was disappointed that his little plan was seen through.
"Why did he change his gender today? He's not usually like this."
Tutu whispered in a low voice.
As before, this bad old man was already sitting happily at the table, waiting to eat roast duck.
It seems that there is no advantage in the world that he is not willing to take advantage of.
Bai Pangpang grinned. He already knew it well. He put his ear next to Tu Tu's ear and whispered:
"Do you think that you can just beat him for his little temper? I'm afraid he was cursed by your mother. He runs so fast, so we don't dare to see him make a fool of himself!"
"Oh, I see……"
Tutu suddenly realized it and couldn't help but feel a little curious. He didn't know what curse the empress had cast on him.
To make the majestic Emperor Ming feel so embarrassed.
Ding Xiaoyi sat aside, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it for a while.
Just this moment.
Mr. Chen has already started serving food.
I saw the side dishes carefully prepared by Mr. Chen on the table.
A dish of sugar.
A plate of shredded green onions.
A dish of cucumber shreds.
And a bowl of sweet noodle sauce.
The steaming hot basket was opened, and the pancakes were steaming hot.
Liao Qiu picked up a piece of pancake, blew it twice, held the pancake in the palm of his hand and squeezed it, then opened his palm again, and saw that the pancake slowly stretched without leaving any wrinkles.
Seeing this, Liao Qiu nodded and praised: "The thickness is even, the old man's craftsmanship is good."
Mr. Chen nodded with a smile, and took out the roast duck from the stove under the expectant eyes of everyone.
After the roast duck has been smoked and roasted for such a long time.
It was already ruddy and shiny, and the duck skin was as shiny as if it had been covered with a layer of glaze. The most amazing thing was that the body of this roast duck was actually filled with wisps of rainbow-like smoke.
Seeing this, Bai Pangpang explained to everyone: "This duck is not an ordinary duck. I also spent a lot of effort to invite it here."
It turns out that this duck itself is extraordinary.
He also has the ability to ride a rainbow, not only is he fast, but he is also proficient in the art of transformation.
With Bai Pangpang's methods, it would not be difficult to catch it.
But it is a bit troublesome to catch it without leaving any traces. If you catch it with the front legs, the owner of the back legs will come to your door.
Fortunately, Bai Pangpang knows how to reason and is moved by emotion.
The duck just followed here on its own.
"Is there any effect after eating it?"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the duck and drooled, and did not forget to ask the previous question.
Bai Pangpang smiled and said nothing: "You will know after you eat it!"
At this time, Mr. Chen took out the prepared knife and started to cut the duck.
Slicing duck is undoubtedly the most challenging place to test your knife skills.
I saw that Mr. Chen's knife skills were old and steady, clean and neat. There were no fancy skills, but he was better than steady.
Cut the duck head first.
Cut the duck tail with the second cut.
Slice the duck breast first. The skin and meat here are naturally the most plump, especially the duck skin that has been roasted for a long time, and the pieces are crystal clear.
Serve these duck skins cut first.
While the duck skin is still hot, dip it in a little sugar.
The white sugar is half-melted and half-condensed on top, and the skin of the meat is still crispy when you put it in your mouth. It has a unique taste with the coarse granulated sugar.
Next comes the slices of duck meat, with the skin on and evenly thick.
Three times and five times, two plates of sliced ducks were placed on the table.
The four of them were not polite now, this was a rare delicacy.
Even Tu Tu didn't dare to say that she had a chance to taste it, so Ding Xiaoyi glanced at her, wanting to see her take off her mask.
But I was disappointed to find that the mask was detachable.
The section below the nose can be removed.
It does not affect eating.
However, even if only half of her face is exposed, her slightly rounded natural chin and pink lips can't help but arouse people's imagination.
Obviously, this woman named Tu Tu must have a first-rate beauty.
"Don't look at it, or her mask will fall off and she will put us all in her bed as a harem!"
Bai Pangpang reminded him with a non-serious look.
"Cough cough cough..."
Liao Qiu was enjoying his meal. When he heard this, he almost choked to death. He glanced carefully at Tu Tu beside him and lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Ding Xiaoyi is also very embarrassed.
I know that Bai Pangpang, this fat guy, is not serious, but how can I accept what I say?
Tutu ignored it and pretended not to hear.
Instead, Bai Pangpang patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'm just kidding, I haven't seen her face before. Legend has it that anyone who has seen her true face will either be eaten by her or marry her..."
Liao Qiu's head dropped lower...
He hurriedly stuffed two mouthfuls into his mouth, glanced at Tutu from the corner of his eye, and found that Tutu was looking towards him through the mask.
In a daze, he seemed to have seen the pair of flashing vertical pupils staring at him fiercely.
The roast duck that was delicious in my mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
Ding Xiaoyi just took it as Bai Pangpang said casually, rolled up a piece of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.
The plump aroma of roast duck is mixed with the sweetness of sweet noodle sauce, wrapped in refreshing shredded cucumber and green onion.
The layered deliciousness is all in this burrito.
After one sip, my mouth was almost filled with a rich sense of satisfaction.
It's a pity that the bad old man is not here, so he doesn't have the oral pleasure anymore.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for the old man.
Mr. Chen divided the duck rack into two parts. One part was deep-fried to make salt-and-pepper fried duck, and the other part was cooked in soup, leaving some leftovers for the big head to eat.
The four of them ate all the roast duck on the plate in an instant, leaving not even a single pancake.
After Ding Xiaoyi was full, he felt that something was wrong with him.
I felt like something was gathering in my chest, and I was shocked.
He quickly closed his eyes and looked at it attentively.
I just felt a colorful cloud flickering on my chest, gradually gathering and turning into something like a bead on my chest.
"What's this??"
He was shocked when he noticed the bead on his chest, but when he thought about what Pangpang said just now, he suddenly felt more at ease.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Bai Pangpang was looking at him with a smile.
"Why, what are the extra benefits?"
"What is a colored glass bead used for?" Ding Xiaoyi pointed to his chest and asked Bai Pangpang.
Liao Qiu shouted: "I have one too!"
"This is called auspiciousness, and it has many magical uses." Bai Pangpang explained.
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes lit up: "Why is it useless?"
However, Bai Pangpang spread his hands helplessly: "It's a wonderful thing but useless."
It turns out that although this thing is very wonderful, no one can explain how to use it.
Everyone has different fates, and this thing is also under their own control, but at any time, it will have an effect and benefit you a lot.
But some people never see auspiciousness move in their entire lives.
So this thing is called "Xiangrui", which means good luck and blessings, but compared with those invisible and illusory things, it can actually be seen by you.
"Oh, that's how it is."
He probably understands the meaning of Bai Pangpang, and the love thing is a mascot.
Then keep it, since you don’t lack this bit of auspiciousness anyway.
At this time, he was about to ask what kind of treasure was in the box Xuantongmon gave him.
The phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was Redding.
For some reason, when he saw Redding's phone call, he seemed to have something in his heart, and there was an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
After pressing the answer button, Redding's rapid breathing came from the phone:
