Why? Chen Xuance can't die easily. If he dies, Li Gou won't have any fish to eat.
When a group of people set out, they all had their dry food and bedding on their backs. The second group of Huang took advantage of the small number of people and was assigned to the courtyard of the Buddhist temple.
Other groups didn't have such good luck and slept on the ground outside the temple.
The ten people in the Xuan Er Group naturally lived in the house, although the walls collapsed by half and there was a large hole in the roof, at least it could keep out the wind.
Chen Xuance has a simple and honest face, and is as thin as a stick. The general Li Gou took care of him, letting him sleep at the foot of a half-meter-high earthen wall, which was sheltered from the wind.
It's hot and sunny with no rain.
It has been over a month since Kyoto experienced a major drought, and the last rainfall was the one that occurred the night before yesterday, when the thunder struck and killed the little fat guy.
Chen Xuance was used to going on missions, and quickly made a pile of weeds to lay under the wall, covered it with a mat, and slept comfortably and soundly.
He took a piece of glazed paper in his hand and took out a black pill the size of a thumb from the bundle. He dissolved it in the water in the kettle and put some of it on his face, neck, wrists, and ankles.
After wiping it off, he handed the rest to the captain Li Gou who was sleeping next to him.
This is something Chen Xuance made during his last rest before the mission. There is a patch of wormwood beside the Rouge River. Take the leaves, dry them, grind them into powder, add plant ash, and mix with water to make pills.
When used, it can be dissolved in water and applied to exposed skin to effectively prevent mosquitoes.
Hey, you have a lot of good things. This stuff can match the effect of our hundred households' sachet, I heard that Ma Baihu spent ten silver to get it.
The sachet Li Gou mentioned is a common item for wealthy demon-fighting guards. It is not sold outside, and is made by members of the Xuanzi Group for fun during their free time.
Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. You have to look good before you can be given one. It's called reward, but the amount of silver you should give can't be too small. This is the way of the world.
Like their Yellow Team 2, except for one person in Mabu, even Jin Maode, the deputy head of the village, did not make it.
Chen Xuance grinned, showing his big white teeth and smiling very honest.
He is a famous honest boy in the town's demon guard. He smiles silly every day, and others have already got used to it.
I said, 'Don't always giggle like that, kid. Be careful or you won't be able to marry a wife.'
Li Gougao laughed and scolded, and after painting with the black mud given by Chen Xuance, he didn't return the rest to Chen Xuance, but wrapped it in paper and stuffed it into his baggage.
"You must have some. I'll take this one."
Looking at Chen Xuance's staring eyes, Li Gou felt no embarrassment at all.
Others said that Chen Xuance was a bit stupid, but he didn't think so.
The smart ones? They're all dead. Of the more than 100 people, only one survived. Do you think he's stupid? How can that be?
It was completely dark, and the people chatting by the bonfire in the middle of the yard slowly dispersed.
The clear starry sky doesn't bring any coolness on the night of early July.
I wake up in a sweat after a short sleep.
Chen Xuance slept soundly until he was awakened by a sharp pain in his mind.
I opened my eyes drowsily and took a look at the stars in the sky to tell the time. I couldn't see anything, it was pitch black, probably because it was covered by dark clouds.
Turning around, I saw that the campfire that usually burned all night had gone out.
The ten members of the Xuanzi Group, who should have been resting inside the house, were now standing next to the extinguished campfire.
Chen Xuance could see clearly because the demon-controlling clothes of the Xuan group were superior to those of the Huang group. The Xuanma silver robe emitted a charming glow in the dark night.
"Oh, dear, something's happened."
With a muttered under his breath, Chen Xuance quickly took out the exorcism amulet from his pocket, then picked up the peach wood sword and pushed the handle against the sleeping captain Li Gou, who was as asleep as a dead pig.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
"Boss, wake up, it's not right."
Li Gou felt someone calling him. Usually, he was very alert when he went on a mission, but today, for some reason, he couldn't wake up.
The people in the Xuan Er group had noticed the awakening Chen Xuance, and the thousand households Xiao Zhuo stared at Chen Xuance for a moment, but didn't care about him.
Only these eleven people are awake inside and outside the hospital.
Chief, it's a nightmare ghost. It can haunt more than 200 people at a time. It's estimated to have about 200 years of cultivation. I'll go and destroy it.
The person speaking is a new member of the Xuanzi Group, whose name Chen Xuance doesn't know.
I guess he wanted to show himself in front of his superiors and volunteered to solve the problem.
Xiao Zhuo, who had thousands of households, scolded angrily:
"Which eye of yours saw that he has only two hundred years of Taoist experience? Who told you that he only has one? Don't you know how to do things at this time?"
After scolding, he did not care about the newcomer's red and white face and directly ordered:
"Leave five people to wake up the trapped people, and the rest of you follow me."
Without saying who would stay and who would leave, the ten people tacitly divided into two groups.
Chen Xuance saw it very clearly, and it was probably divided according to the length of time of joining, because the newcomer who had just been scolded stayed.
"That kid, come over and help me."
The newcomer held his breath and greeted Chen Xuance with an unpleasant tone.
He quickly got up, trotted over to the newcomer, and asked with a silly smile:
Adult, what do you need me to do?
One does not hit a smiling face, and I have no intention to embarrass this yellow-lettered group's minions. I'll just throw him a porcelain bottle and tell him:
"Open the porcelain bottle and place it on the philtrum for three breaths. Don't worry about waking up or not. Don't exceed three breaths. This is enough for your Yellow Team 2 to use. Go ahead."
Reaching out to take the porcelain bottle, Chen Xuance turned around and bent over to walk towards Huang Group 2, pretending to be curious and asking:
Adult, what is this good thing? Tell me, please.
The new couple's faces turned cold and they scolded,
"Hasn't your family taught you not to ask questions you shouldn't? Hurry up and get to work."
After scolding, he kicked Chen Xuance's buttocks, which turned halfway around, and kicked him more than a meter away.
Chen Xuance didn't take it seriously either. It's better to ask, and if he doesn't ask, it's fine.
He is just a small potato, no one will really care about him.
I rushed back to the position of Huang Group 2 in two steps, found Ma Baihu, and prepared to wake up Lao Ma first.
When I opened the small porcelain bottle, a phrase came to mind:
Zombie bone powder is made from grinding a hundred-year-old zombie bone. It is extremely yin and can stimulate the soul and cover the eye of heaven.
Chen Xuance was shocked, this thing is not a good thing.
The smell is also coming over, a stinky, pungent stench that wakes you up.
He was already clear-headed thanks to the demon-killing map, but now he was even more clear-headed and fully energized.
Covering his nose, he put the porcelain bottle up to Ma Baihu's nostrils and noted the time.
Three breaths, not too much, not too little. A sneeze from Ma Baihu woke him up.
Opening her eyes, she looked at Chen Xuance in front of her, as well as the porcelain bottle filled with a foul odor, and her eyes twitched.
He didn't know what it was yet? He tried to suppress the nausea and ran to the wall, vomiting bitterly. He wondered if he had thrown up bile.
As soon as I saw Ma Baihu, I knew he was the right person to ask about this. He's really knowledgeable.
With a twinkle in his eye, Chen Xuance decided to trick Ma Baihu, and without paying attention to the other people still lying down, he crept up to Ma Baihu's side:
Adult, this is a good thing from the Xuanzi Group. Do you know it? Why don't you like it? Tell me what it is? The taste is quite good.
The honesty on his face made Ma Baihu want to punch him out.
