Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 20 Purple Eyes

"Tian Tian!" Wang Tong called her from behind. Seeing her stop and turn around, he raised the wriggling poisonous snake in his hand, shook it at her, and said, "Let's take this snake together." Peel and cook the evil animal!"

"..."

She turned around and wanted to leave, when she heard Wang Tong shout: "How do you like to eat? Roasted or steamed?"

So she stopped again, a thoughtful look flashed between her brows, and then she turned her head and said, "Peel the skin, cut it into sections, boil it in clean water, add some salt, and add some ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell. Cook half a half It's about time."

Getting her answer seemed to make Wang Tong very happy, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's cook like this!"

"I still have to collect herbs, so you can take your time."

"Okay, let's do it in the evening. I asked Xiao Liu to go home to get a pot and light a fire by the stream. Tian Tian, ​​you should go down the mountain earlier!"

She nodded indifferently, but the corners of her mouth curved into a shallow arc unconsciously, then turned around and walked out of the grass and walked up the mountain.

This was just a small episode, and she never thought that besides eating snake soup together, there would be any other deeper intersection with them.

She went up the mountain, jumping lightly in the forest, no rough and difficult road could stop her footsteps, and soon the medicine basket behind her was half full.

There are abundant herbs on this mountain, but they are just some common herbs, even if this basket is full, it is not worth a lot of money.

It was around noon, and she was hiding under the shade of a tree, gnawing dry food. When she looked up, she saw the Zixia Mountain in the distance, which could almost be said to be towering into the clouds. Eyebrow, continue to gnaw, and it seems that there is no plan to go there to find out.

After eating and drinking, she rearranged the scattered herbs in the medicine basket, then stood up, and decided to search around before going back. She was still thinking about the pot of snake meat.

Although she hates the soft, greasy and disgusting looking creature, she doesn't reject the delicious taste at all.

However, half an hour later, she suddenly stopped again, and looked up at the Zixia Mountain standing in front of her eyes, with a strange look in her eyes.

Before she knew it, she ran here.

Today's Zixia Mountain is much quieter than yesterday. Obviously, the villagers next door who came to search for people have given up searching and don't want to waste unnecessary time.

Standing there, Duanmutian looked at the lush forest and the beautiful Zixia Mountain, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, but there was a flash of expression in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he stepped in suddenly.

In the darkness, something suddenly raised his head, and in the purple light, he opened his mouth up to the sky, and let out an extremely sharp and mournful cry from the depths of his throat.

Duanmutian, who had just entered Zixia Mountain, suddenly stopped in her tracks, feeling a chill rushing towards her face, which made her shiver inwardly.

Slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where the scream came from just now.

At the moment, Duan Mujing, who is in Sanshi Village, is planning to go up the mountain to find her sister after lunch, carrying a medicine basket on her back.

After being pestered by his uncle all morning, even with his good temper, he almost turned his face. Now he doesn't even want to see that uncle who is more like a child than him!

And when he saw his sister going out today, he was always a little uneasy, thinking that something bad might happen, and thinking of her eyes shining when she saw Zixia Mountain yesterday, the bad thing in his heart The hunch is getting stronger.

Sister, she shouldn't run to Zixia Mountain, right?

However, before he stepped out of the yard, he was stopped by a hand stretched from behind, and then an arm was placed on his shoulder, and Duanmuchen's smiling face appeared in front of him.

"Little Jing, don't you want to go up the mountain now? Look at the sun in the sky. When you get to the mountain, it will probably be setting!"

After struggling a few times but failing to free her shoulder from his hand, Duanmu Jing's complexion began to turn black again, her eyes were infinitely close to Duanmu Zheng's, and she said weakly with a bit of numbness: "Uncle, I'm a little worried about my sister."

"What is there to worry about? Did you just come here, or did Xiao Tiantian never go up the mountain alone before? I think Xiao Tiantian's kung fu is not as bad as yours. Come, come, let's go Go catch fish!"

"..."

"When I came down the mountain yesterday, I saw that there seemed to be a stream nearby. The water was clear, and there seemed to be a lot of fish swimming in it. Let's go catch the fish, and we can wait for Xiao Tiantian to go down the mountain by the way. , cook fish soup for her to replenish her body at night!"

"..." You want to eat it yourself, right?

However, no matter whether Duanmujing was willing or not, Duanmuchen insisted on tearing off the medicine basket on his back, went around the yard several times, took the fishing basket, and dragged him to catch the fish.

"Uncle..."

"Oh, I said, why are you a mother-in-law? Go, go!"

Duanmujing's face was covered with black lines, and he couldn't break free, so he had to be pulled forward, but he couldn't see the sly look in Duanmuchen's eyes after turning around.

The trees are lush, the flowers are clustered, there are colorful butterflies, there are unknown birds singing, and even the air you breathe is extraordinarily fresh.

The sun shines through the forest, coating all the scenery with a layer of light gold, and a breeze blows gently, bringing large swirls of color and fragrance.

Here, it is simply a fairyland on earth!
Duanmu Tian stood on the valley, looking down at the picturesque scenery in the valley below, he was stunned, and then almost couldn't help but walk towards the valley.

The fragrance of the flowers became more and more intense, trying to make people intoxicated and unwilling to wake up, but Duanmutian suddenly woke up, followed by awe in his heart, he subconsciously held his breath, concentrated his mind and calmed his expression, and even stepped forward. All the moving steps stopped.

As soon as she stepped in, she noticed that the fragrance of flowers here had a strong psychedelic effect. Ordinary people might not be able to resist it at all. Even she was almost bewitched.

Although her current skill is still weak, she is not comparable to ordinary second- and third-rate characters. Besides, she has received this kind of training, and her determination is very comparable. Even ordinary hallucinogenic drugs may not be able to affect her. Effect.

However, even so, she has only just entered the edge, and her mind is dazed as soon as she smells the fragrance of flowers. How can she not be made to be cautious?
Standing there silent for a while, she reached out and rummaged in the medicine basket for a while, found a blade of grass, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it twice, it was as if a clear spring flowed into her mind, making her conscious, But her brows were slightly frowned, because she felt that her tongue was no longer her own.
