Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 32 Undercurrent
Xin Ziqiu was so tired that his muscles ached and his bones were limp. He lay on the bed with all his clothes on, not wanting to move.

But not long after resting, he saw the shadow of the lamp shaking, and someone came in from outside. He was a little nervous and sat up again.

I saw that the person who came was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in light green clothes, with a double ring bun, dressed as a servant girl, with delicate features and eyes, very pleasing.

With a pot of hot water in her hand and a handkerchief on her shoulder, she said to Xin Ziqiu in a tender voice:
"Your travel is exhausting, please wash your feet to relieve fatigue."

Saying that he put the basin on the ground, he was about to take off Xin Ziqiu's shoes.

Xin Ziqiu's nerves were tense all the time, and he was relieved to see that it was only a maidservant.

But where has he ever been served by someone like this, he shrank his feet subconsciously, and said:

"No, no, I can come by myself, you are welcome."

As he spoke, he pulled off the cloth shoes that Jia Xian bought for him, but saw that his feet were black, covered with dirt and mud, extremely sour, and his face was slightly feverish, so he quickly put his feet into the water and placed them on the Rub vigorously together.

The girl pretended not to see it, squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, and stretched out her hands to help him wash up.

Xin Ziqiu was embarrassed and said:

"You, you don't have to. I've been driving all day and my feet are very dirty."

The girl smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, and said:

"Xiao Langjun is the master's distinguished guest, this is what a servant girl should do."

As he spoke, he washed Xin Ziqiu's feet and dried him gently.

Xin Ziqiu saw her smiling like a flower, gentle as jade under the lamp, his heart was beating wildly, and he didn't even dare to breathe out.

Looking at the pitch-black water in the copper basin, with a few grass clippings floating on it, his face was hot, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

When I first arrived, I died...

In order to avoid embarrassment, he tried to pretend to be calm and asked:

"Sister, what is your name?"

When the girl heard this address, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied:

"Lang Jun was joking, where does the servant have a name? The servant girl is called Mei Guan, who was specially sent by Mr. Jia to take care of you."

As he spoke, he took a set of moon-white underwear from the bedside chair, "Your lord is injured and cannot move, so let the servant girl change your clothes for him."

So I came to untie Xin Ziqiu's clothes.

Xin Ziqiu was shocked, subconsciously covered the skirt of his clothes with his hands, and hurriedly said:
"Don't mind, let's, this, men and women are different, just leave the clothes here, I can change them myself, you go out."

Mei Guan timidly asked:
"Your Majesty, do you think the servant girl's rough hands and feet are not to your liking?"

In feudal society, for maids and maidservants, serving others has become a habit. The master is the sky, and the slave is the earth. There is no distinction between men and women, only the difference between upper and lower.

Seeing that Xin Ziqiu refused to let him serve, Mei Guan didn't know where he had offended him, and was afraid of being punished, so he became nervous instead.

Xin Ziqiu came from the new era where everyone is equal, so he would not let the big girl help him change his clothes, but seeing her aggrieved face, he comforted her:
"That...don't get me wrong, I'm a man and you're a woman, it's inconvenient, and I have hands and feet, so it's okay to change clothes."

Seeing that he insisted again and again, Mei Guan spoke sincerely and did not force himself, so he picked up the water basin and retreated, and at the end he said:

"Please rest early, sir. The servant girl is in the outhouse. If you have any orders at night, just give me a message."

Xin Ziqiu saw her go out, so he closed the door and put on new clothes. He only felt that his body was soft and smooth, and he didn't know what silk and satin were, which were much more valuable than the tattered coarse clothes he was wearing.

He thought to himself, this old man is really rich, but he looks low-key and messed up from the outside, and he doesn't know where the money comes from.

……

It's the third watch, the night is deep, and everything is still.

Xin Ziqiu was lying on the bed, enjoying the hard-won peace, but tossing and turning, it was difficult to fall asleep.

In fact, he was exhausted already, but when he first entered this world, and all kinds of life and death experiences over the past day, his nerves were extremely excited due to excessive tension.

He thought of Jia Zhiqing who had lost her soul in order to save him, Xuan Ming who didn't know where she was, and finally the brothers in the Yanyuan dormitory.

My boss mysteriously disappeared in the middle of a team battle in World of Warcraft. The boss should be so angry that he would curse at his mother in front of the computer.

I'm sorry, everyone, but I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again.

……

Just when Xin Ziqiu was drowsy and thinking wildly, on his right arm, the black pattern formed by the gluttonous power suddenly became hot.

He connected with it, and instantly felt the desire and greed coming from above.

It was true and true, thick to viscous human emotions, as if they were alive.

This means that there is some kind of powerful energy nearby, attracting the power of gluttony.

When Jia Zhiqing activated the earth-shattering flying sword talisman that day, he also felt the same feeling for a moment.

But after the talisman exerted its power, this feeling disappeared.

But this time was different, he continued to feel the gluttonous power's desire to possess the powerful energy nearby, lingering, uncontrollable, and getting stronger and stronger, constantly eroding his will.

It's like a pedestrian in the desert meets water, and a hungry beggar meets food.

Xin Ziqiu felt awe-inspiring, what's going on!
Isn't the power of gluttony only able to absorb the essence he got?Could it also devour other energies?
He got off the bed and walked out the door.

It's not because he has succumbed to this desire, but because he wants to see what happened and find the source of this power.

……

Jia Mansion, in an unremarkable woodshed.

The fat and white Jia Zhong was sitting alone on the futon, with his palms folded and a pious expression on his face.

In front of him, there was a small silver cauldron, which smelled bloody and filled with a bright red viscous liquid, which was constantly churning, with dense bubbles, as if it was boiling.

In the middle of the small tripod, there is a big drop-shaped gemstone floating, which is emitting a kind red light at this time, although it is not dazzling, it is breathtaking.

Around the small cauldron, on the ground and on the walls, there were all weird and evil symbols drawn, as if some kind of ritual was going on.

Just listen to Jia Zhong say softly:

"Master, something happened in the city today, and the Xiaoyao Gang failed to deliver the sacrifices on time, but they promise that in the next few days, they will bring a few more powerful martial arts masters to double the compensation."

After saying this, his complexion changed, and his face suddenly became serious, and a hoarse voice that did not belong to him came out of his throat:

"Now I have reached the most critical moment in my performance, and I urgently need another sacrifice. Those who have traveled a hundred miles are half at ninety. It is not long before the completion of the work. You should pay close attention to it. There are not only Xiaoyao Gang who are capable in Wuyoudong one."

Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhong changed back to his own voice in an instant, and said respectfully:

"The villain knows that if they break the appointment again tomorrow, I will find another way. However, Jia Xian came back today, bringing his granddaughter and a young man with him. The villain doesn't know how to deal with it. Please show me the master."

The expression on his face changed again, and he said:

"It's okay, my Lotus Sect's secret technique is not something that ordinary people in the world can see through. But he and his granddaughter have the treasures of the heavenly master's body, so don't get their ideas. As for the young man who was walking with them, I can I feel that there is a kind of secret treasure in him, exuding a lot of blood energy, which is of great benefit to my lotus sect's lineage of immortality. You must find a way to find it. This young man is really lax, and his martial arts are low. He should be just an ordinary person. Difficult to deal with, but be careful not to reveal your identity."

"The villain understands, I will handle this matter and make sure it will be done properly."

"Very good. I am very satisfied that you have always done everything without leaking water. When my meritorious deeds are complete, I will definitely benefit from you."

"..."

In this dark and quiet night, Jia Zhong kept talking to himself, playing two roles with one person, revealing an indescribable weirdness...
