Bone King's Universal Grocery

Chapter 153 Goddess Sisters
After Li Hong and his party left from the teahouse, they flew directly into the air and passed through Xiayuan Town to a crimson mountain called Meteor Mountain.

"Your Majesty, if we cross this mountain, we will enter King Yan's territory." Qiu'er looked at the map and said.

"Then let's go as soon as possible! Seeing that it's getting dark, fly over and find an inn to stay."

"Wait a minute, Li Hong, Qiu'er, don't you think it's strange? This mountain is red, and it's the first time I've seen a mountain that is all red!" Mingyue stopped the two of them and said.

"What's so strange about this? If you feel the humidity of the air, you should be able to understand that this is a rainy area. There is a lot of rain, and the iron in the soil on the mountain is oxidized, so it looks red."

After listening to Li Hong's explanation, Mingyue was even more confused. What is iron oxidation? Why has she never heard of this word?

Qiu'er on the side didn't understand Li Hong's words either, and the two looked at each other and saw each other's doubts.

But Li Hong obviously didn't mean to explain further, and flew directly over the mountain range, and everyone had to follow after seeing this.

As soon as they flew over the mountains, everyone saw a little bit of fire at the foot of the mountain not far away.

"It seems that there is a village nearby, Your Majesty, let's settle here tonight!" Qiu'er suggested.

Hearing this, Li Hong released his mental power to sense it, and then said: "Okay! Let's stay here today! The soul levels of the nearby creatures are relatively weak, so there should be no danger."

After Li Hong made a decision, everyone settled in the village at the foot of the mountain. After some discussion, Qiu'er, who seemed the most friendly, knocked on the door.

Qiu'er sensed the situation in the village, then went to the biggest house in the village and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened, and it was a young couple who opened the door.

"Hello, you two. We are businessmen on our way from the mountain side. It's getting late. I don't know if it's convenient for us to stay overnight. Of course we will pay for it." A gold coin was handed to the woman.

The woman hesitated for a while and didn't answer, she said with a smile: "This young lady is too polite, a humble house in the mountains, if you don't mind it, just stay here, why bother talking about money."

"No, no, you deserve the money, just take it! Otherwise our boss will be unhappy."

"Boss? Miss, I think you have an extraordinary temperament. So you are not the boss?"

Qiu'er shook her head: "I'm too stupid, how can I be the boss, where is our boss!" After speaking, Qiu'er pointed to Li Hong who was not far away.

The couple poked their heads out at the same time, and saw Li Hong in a black robe.

"Ahem, your boss is really mysterious!" the man said with a dry cough.

"No way, it's inevitable that there will be a few enemies when you go out and walk around, so you have to be prepared!"

The woman glared at the man when she heard the words, and then said: "Hehe, we are all vulgar people, how can we understand this, miss, just let your boss come over!"

"Then I would like to thank you both." After speaking, Qiu'er turned and returned to Li Hong's side.

"How is it? Did you agree to stay overnight with us?" Mingyue asked as soon as Qiu'er came back.

"I agree, but I feel something is wrong with this family."

"Ah? What's wrong? I sensed it, and the couple's cultivation bases are both level 4, so there's nothing wrong with it!" Mingyue asked with a confused face.

"Level 4 is not a problem. The problem is that two people of level 4 appeared in such a remote mountainous area. I grew up in a similar environment since I was a child. Let alone level 4 in my hometown, I have even practiced. There is no law.

And these two people didn't have a trace of joy in their eyes when I gave the money, and even took the initiative to decline. You must know that this is a remote mountainous area. According to the consumption level here, one silver coin is enough for a family of three for three to four days.

One gold coin is 10 silver coins, and two gold coins are enough for them to eat and drink for two months. Why would they refuse? "

"There seems to be something wrong with this. Then, Li Hong, do we still want to live there?" Mingyue asked Li Hong.

"Go! Why don't you go? There are 5 of us, Mi Xia is a level 4 magician, and the cultivation of the sword has been restored to level 6. Mingyue, you are a holy man, not to mention Qiu'er and me , any one of us in the group is better than level 4 if we go out casually, what are you afraid of?"

"It makes sense! Then let's go!" After speaking, Mingyue took the lead and came to the house of the young couple.

The young couple stepped aside and invited Li Hong and his party into the house.

As soon as Mingyue entered the house, she saw a portrait enshrined in the couple's home. In the portrait was a pair of girls who looked exactly the same.

As twins, Mingyue was very interested in the girl in the portrait, and wanted to go up to take a look, but was stopped by the woman: "Miss, you'd better not get close, because if you go too close, you will blaspheme the goddess."

"Goddess? The two of them?"

"Well, some of you don't know, these two girls were adopted by our ancestors of the Holy Spirit 13 years ago. After the fall of the Holy Spirit, these two have inherited the position of the Holy Spirit to protect our mountain people. It is safe, so every household in our place will enshrine the portrait of the goddess as a sign of respect."

"Then what are the names of these two goddesses?" Mingyue asked.

"One of them is Yingxue and the other is Yinghua, yes"

"Liniang, that's enough! Stop talking!" The man suddenly interrupted the woman's words: "I'm sorry for the guests, Goddess doesn't like people talking about them behind their backs, please forgive me"

"It's okay, it's okay, I asked too much." Mingyue said quickly.

In the evening, the husband and wife prepared dinner for Li Hong and the others. The dinner was very simple, with steamed buns and pickles, a bowl of clear porridge, and a plate of green unknown side dishes in the middle of the table.

Qiu'er's eyes lit up when she saw the green vegetables on the plate, she couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick and put it in her mouth, then said with nostalgia on her face, "This is sweet and bitter vegetables! I haven't eaten them for a long time!"

"What is sweet and bitter vegetable? Why have I never heard of it?" Mingyue asked beside him.

"Sweet and bitter vegetables! It's a kind of wild vegetable in the mountains. It tastes sweet first and then bitter. That's why it's called sweet and bitter vegetables." Qiu'er explained.

"I didn't see it! This young lady has eaten sweet and bitter vegetables! I'm afraid you won't be used to it!" Liniang said with a smile.

"I grew up eating this kind of food, so there's nothing I'm not used to." After speaking, Qiu'er picked up her chopsticks again.

Seeing how delicious Qiu'er's food was, the others followed suit, and the first meal they ate in the Fairy Spirit Continent was particularly delicious.

After dinner, everyone fell asleep under Liniang's arrangement. Unfortunately, the night in the mountains was not peaceful. When the third watch was approaching, Li Hong suddenly sensed two very similar auras.
