Zhou Lin

Late April, Long County, somewhere on the outskirts of Yingtan City.

In the evening, Fang Xiangqi took Meng Zhenhan into an inconspicuous farmyard.

After passing the courtyard, Fang Xiangqi opened the door and entered the house without even knocking, followed closely by Meng Zhenhan.

When they arrived at the house, there were already two people in the house; the two people were sitting at a square table. There was a lot of food spread on the table, and the plates were stacked one on top of another, like a pyramid. Like, and these two people have already started eating.

"Hey, here we come." The man facing the door was as strong as a hill. He stood more than two meters tall, and his arms were thicker than an average person's thighs. The moment he saw Qiongqi, he just He raised his eyes slightly, said hello casually, and then continued to eat.

The slender man next to him didn't even bother to say hello. He only glanced at Fang Xiangqi and then turned his head.

Fang Xiangqi didn't seem to care much about this, he just walked forward silently, sat down at the table, picked up the chopsticks...

On the contrary, Meng Zhenhan, who had been ignored by them the whole time, changed color on his face and looked very nervous.

A strange and awkward atmosphere quietly spread in the room...

Not long after, the door leading to the kitchen opened at the other end of the room, and a woman came out carrying two plates of food.

This is an unforgettable woman, not because of how beautiful she is, but because of her unique temperament.

She has fiery red, slightly messy long hair and a pair of red eyes; a pair of sharp eyebrows and a straight bridge of nose make her face look heroic, and her good looks and fair skin It added a touch of feminine softness to her.

Although she is undoubtedly yellow in appearance, her figure and frame are closer to those of European and American women. Her height of about 1.8 meters and her uneven body curves are eye-catching no matter where she goes.

However, when such a beautiful woman appeared from the kitchen, Meng Zhenhan showed a slightly frightened expression and took a few steps back towards the door... as if he was ready to turn around and run away at any time. .

"Third brother, this is what you did wrong." When the red-haired woman put the dishes on the table and sat down, she said to him in a rather "businessman" tone, "You said you wanted to get together. The brothers came over from all over the world without saying a word. I thought that after not seeing each other for a long time, we could have a good drink and catch up on old times, but I didn’t expect that you brought an outsider here..." She paused, "...and he's also a stranger. Taoist priest."

"Yeah, you want to bring someone else here, and you say it's snacks for the road, so we'll believe it." The strong man also added in a joking tone at this time, "But this kid..." he said Here, he glanced sideways at Meng Zhenhan, "It seems like there was a moment..." Then, he looked at Fang Xiangqi again, "You don't want him to come and 'acquire' a few of your brothers, right?"

boom--

Before the two men finished their cold words, the slender one slapped the table and stood up, as if he was going to walk towards Meng Chuanhan.

And Meng Zhenhan had already put his hand into the inner pocket of his clothes, and he didn't know what he was grabbing.

At this critical moment...

"Okay!" Fang Xiangqi shouted at the lanky man, "Second brother, please sit down first."

When the lanky man heard this, he didn't sit down, but he didn't move any closer.

"Bangchui." The strong man also shouted at this time, and winked at the slender man.

After hearing his words, the latter sat back.

"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth sister..." Although Fang Xiangqi appeared to be in his teens, now he spoke like an old man, "Third brother, I left without saying goodbye. It was because I was impulsive and could not think about it. Zhou, I’ll give you a drink as a penalty to make amends to everyone.”

"Hey! Just wait a minute." At this time, Meng Zhenhan, who had been silent until now, interrupted, "Children can't drink."

His words successfully attracted the attention of the four people at the table, and also caused them to turn to look at him.

"Hahahaha..." A few seconds later, the strong man laughed loudly, pointed at Fang Xiangqi and said to Meng Zhenhan, "Xiaodao, do you know how old he is? Who is a child here? Don't you have any idea? "

"No matter how old he is, he still has the body of a child now." Meng Zhenhan replied, "Even if you are Conan, don't you still have to go to elementary school?"

"Heh..." The red-haired woman was also amused by him, "It seems to make sense."

"Hey~ You really think of yourself as my guardian?" This time, it was Fang Xiangqi who slapped the table and stood up. Although he stood at about the same height as when he was sitting on a stool, "Meng, don't go too far. , I have to pay you a fine of one drink here, so what do you think I should drink if I don’t drink?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhenhan blurted out: "I'll give you a bowl of fried noodles."

"Say it again! Say it again and I'll eat you!" Fang Xiangqi retorted as if he was about to bite someone.

"Okay, okay, have you two finished your performance?" The strong man who had been talking almost nonstop finally stopped his chopsticks and said seriously, "Third brother, what exactly did you come to us for? Tell us. .”

Fang Xiangqi curled his lips and looked at Meng Zhenhan for two seconds. Then he turned around and said to the three people: "Then let me introduce you first..." He raised his hand and pointed at the strong man, the slender man and the red-haired woman respectively. He said, "This is my eldest brother Chi Ou, my second brother Tao Wu, and my fourth sister Di Hu."

In fact, Meng Zhenhan also knew the identities of those three "people" without his introduction.

Since sealing the "Gate to the Underworld" under the Nine Hells, Meng Yuanhan's Taoism has greatly improved. Now, he can see the "original form" of these people without any practice - the one named Chi Owl. It is "Taotie", Tao Wu is "梼杌", and Di Ming is "Chaos".

As for the meals on their tables, in addition to animals, many of the meats used in them come from humans...

The reason why Meng Zhenhan felt nervous when he first entered the house was because what he saw in front of him was just an ordinary farmhouse scene in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his eyes, it was an evil banquet where "the four evil men gathered together".

Even now, he still talks to the other party from a position where he can rush out of the door at any time.

"And the person I brought..." On the other side, Fang Xiangqi's introduction was not finished yet, "...he is the descendant of the Zhengdao of Hemingshan, Taoist Master Meng Zhenhan."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Chi Owl was happy again, "What do the Taoist priests from Heming Mountain come to the Longhu Mountain area to do? To find their colleagues to compete in the gym?"

"They are engaged in the tourism industry, so they are not my colleagues." Meng Zhenhan replied with a shrug.

"Ha! Don't you drive a taxi yourself?" Fang Xiangqi finally found an advantage and quickly mocked.

"I will go with Fang Xiangqi this time. There are two reasons..." But Meng Zhenhan ignored him and just continued to say to Chi Owl and the others, "First, he is a little conspicuous as a child traveling long distances alone. , it is inconvenient to buy a bus ticket or stay in a hotel. It will be much easier if I, an adult, take you with you. Secondly... we come to Longhu Mountain this time with a mission, and we need your help on this matter, so we let you Fang Xiangqi asked you out."

As soon as these words came out, Chi Owl's expression immediately changed, Emperor Min deliberately remained calm, and Tao Wu continued to look stupid.

"Mission?" Chi Ou repeated these two words, then looked at Fang Xiangqi and said, "What? I haven't seen you for a while...you are actually under the control of an adult? And you come to ask us to help you do things for outsiders?"

"Well..." Fang Xiangqi scratched his nose and replied a little depressed, "Actually, you can't say he is an outsider..." He paused for half a second, and then his tone changed slightly, "You should know the 'narrator', right?"
