In this era of extremely underdeveloped productivity, it is not an easy task to make something delicious. Especially for this isolated little village, a rice ball made of wild vegetables can be called a delicious meal. But Nanxing still tried her best to make a big meal for Platycodon. Anyway, there was no shortage of fish in the river, and although there was little meat, there was some. As for the other ingredients, most of them came from the rewards for Platycodon distributing river lanterns for free a few days ago. ——Since they said it was free, those people wouldn’t be so blind as to see people coming empty-handed. "Meat can be fried to produce oil." "There is no shortage of salt and soy sauce." "Kelp... this stuff is good. It can be used to enhance the flavor." "As for chili peppers, use dogwood instead."
This was a mixed dinner. Even Nanxing himself didn't expect that after racking his brains, he could actually force out a meal that looked pretty good. At the same time, the more important point is. This meal includes wine. Although it is just plum wine with a very low alcohol content, it is not much better than fruit drinks. But the faint smell of alcohol still made Nanxing excited. "Kikyo." He raised his head and looked at Kikyo, and had a lot to say to her. But when he really opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say anything. ——This trial is very dangerous, and Nanxing himself is not sure that he can pass it. So, he couldn't promise anything to Kikyo at all. The meal in front of him was the only thing he could do for Kikyo. And at the same time, on the other side. The thoughtful Angelica also noticed that Nanxing was hesitant to speak. "maple." She suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand and called her sister's name. “This is too quiet.” "Come sing a song to liven things up." "???"
…… Feng has already started to curse. She knew that this meal would not be so delicious. But she didn't expect that her sister would cheat her like this. "You can sing if you want." “Why do you want me to sing?” She complained in her heart. Of course, I dare not say it. They didn't even dare to show any dissatisfaction. Kikyo asked her to sing, so she could only put down her chopsticks helplessly, stand up, and sing to entertain the couple in front of her. ——It was a somewhat sad song. The music of this country is like this, always with some inexplicable sadness. But Nanxing felt very proud when hearing it. He picked up the ceramic bowl in his hand and drank the last half glass of wine. "wait me back." He put down his chopsticks, left the room and plunged into the endless darkness. "Forehead……" Feng's singing suddenly paused. She looked up and found that Kikyo had also stood up from her seat. However, she did not leave the room in a hurry, but walked towards the inner room. "Keep singing." She said so. Feng had no choice but to continue singing. Kikyo walked into her bedroom and took down the longbow hanging on the wall. It has its own name. 【Zishan Spiritual Bow】. She picked up the spirit bow, thought for a moment, and took out a red ribbon from the cabinet, replacing the original white strip of cloth and tying it in the center of the longbow. "sister……"
Looking at Kikyo in this state, Feng subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to stop her. This is the night of the Ghost Festival! When a hundred demons parade at night, even the gods have to temporarily hide from the spotlight. But in the end, she couldn't stop Kikyo's determination. "you eat first." "I'll be back soon." Chapter 18 Rakshasa Ghost outside world. The sun has completely set. But the moon did not rise as usual. There was not even a single star in the black sky. "It's dark enough." Unprecedented darkness shrouds the world. With his vision restricted, Nanxing had to slow down his pace and grope his way towards the location in his memory. He didn't even dare to light a fire. Because in this festival where all ghosts are reveling, any bit of light will attract countless evil ghosts. The trial itself was already difficult enough, and he didn't want to cause himself any extra trouble. It was at this time that Nanxing truly admired Kikyo's foresight. 【River Lanterns】 If she hadn't reminded me, who would have thought that this insignificant little gadget could play such an important role in the pitch-dark night. The small lamp floated on the water, drifting slowly downstream. Their light is so faint that it seems as if it could be blown out by a breeze. But they are the only light in this absolute darkness. Even the evil spirits from hell cannot destroy this light. Instead, they will escort them, allowing these lights carrying the souls of the dead to float all the way to the underworld. "The human world has its own rules, and the ghost world has its own rules." Those evil ghosts are not afraid of gods, but they are particularly respectful to Yama and Ksitigarbha who are in charge of the cycle of life and death. Perhaps, this is what is called "one thing conquers another"?
"If there is a chance, we should build good relationships with the people over there." It’s easier to get things done if you have connections, Platycodon is an example. Just like the water ghost who was converted by Platycodon a few days ago, after becoming a Buddha, he was directly sucked into the management system of hell and became a hell civil servant responsible for extraditing the dead. And in hell, there are countless people who have received the favor of Platycodon like that water ghost. ——Facts have proved that the reason why Kikyo could become the leader among the shrine maidens was not just because of her extraordinary spiritual power. "However, it's probably too late to cram now." Nanxing raised his head and looked into the distance with the help of the faint light. In the light of the lamp, a huge shadow appeared in front of him. …… It was a ghost of gigantic size. With a size of five meters wide and ten meters high, it looks like a movable three-story building. On the dark skin, the red hair was floating around randomly, and the bright red horn was so eye-catching. Nanxing looked at him and felt a strong pressure coming over her. It turns out that it takes extraordinary courage to remain standing in front of such a huge monster. Not to mention actively launching an attack on it. But Nanxing didn't hesitate at all. "Kikyo." He silently called out Kikyo's name in his heart, as if he could draw strength to calm his soul from this name. Then, he took out a piece of talisman paper, quietly folded a shikigami, and placed it behind his neck. This is Nanxing’s final preparation for this trial. [Trial countdown: 10 seconds.] At the same time, the red-haired evil ghost also discovered Nanxing. ——In this dark night that belongs to ghosts, the breath of living people is so eye-catching. It also makes ghosts... salivate. "Oh, look, what did I find?" "A rat who is not afraid of death!" It laughed so loudly that the sound was deafening, and even the surrounding trees began to tremble. "Today I am lucky, Rakshasa."
"I want to dip you in wine!" [Trial countdown: 0 seconds.] [The trial begins! 】 …… Rakshasa ghost. Nanxing had heard Kikyo introduce this race before. Among the ghosts, this is a very famous ghost.
