Chapter 86: The Evil Breath
We had a very satisfying hotpot meal.

"Everyone, how is this hot pot?" Zhao Shi asked after eating.

"It's amazing. It was hard to swallow at first, but I couldn't get enough of it by the end. The spiciness was beyond imagination. I've eaten a lot of delicious food in the prefectural city and the imperial city, but none of them were as delicious as this one. Especially when paired with iced fermented glutinous rice, it adds a unique flavor to the hot pot!"

Master Bao hesitated for a moment and said.

"Yes, Uncle Bao is right. I have not had a good appetite in the past few years, but today my appetite is very good. I estimated that I ate at least one and a half pounds of meat this time!" Granny Cui also expressed her opinion.

"Dad, my mouth is still burning, but I still want to eat!"

"That's right, Patriarch. I never thought that meat could be eaten this way, especially with this spicy oil. My stomach is still warm now! The more my mouth is numbed by the spiciness, the more I want to eat. Even if my stomach is full, I feel like I can eat another pound of meat!"

Others began to speak up and express their opinions.

From resisting at the beginning to being unable to stop now, it has been a magical experience, especially when my mouth and stomach are burning, and I take a mouthful of cold fermented glutinous rice wine, the feeling is simply indescribable.

Two heavens of ice and fire!
Zhao Shi was not surprised by their comments. On Blue Star, it was common for everyone to see how many people went from being resistant to spicy food to loving it and unable to let it go.

"In that case, we'll open right away in the evening. Wang Meng, the rest of you stay here tonight!" Zhao Shi said.

On the first night, Zhao Shi still planned to arrange for someone to serve meat and dishes.

"Yes, master!"

"As ordered!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng and the others quickly stood up and responded.

Now that the Zhao family is trying to drive them away, they will not leave. Not to mention anything else, just this meal would make them work for a month for free.

It’s not like they haven’t seen meat before.

They often go out hunting, and although their lives may not be necessarily better than other families, they have much more meat than other families. The fact that they can grow so strong has a lot to do with the meat they eat on a daily basis.

But after eating today's meal and thinking about the meat they had eaten in the past, they all wanted to cry.

It's a world of difference.

Granny Cui and her family were sniffing their noses non-stop, and the children were sneezing while eating. It would not be an exaggeration to say that their eyes were filled with tears and snot, but they could not hide the smiles on their faces.

Especially Grandma Cui, she knew that the master had made the right choice.

Even though they lost a phoenix bridal robe, the family is very satisfied with their current life, especially the all-you-can-eat meat today, and the way of eating it in such a special way.

This was simply unimaginable in the past.

Even if you sell the phoenix cape for a huge price, not to mention the risk of your family being destroyed, even if you escape by luck, can you eat something like this?

A bowl of ordinary fermented glutinous rice wine that couldn't be more ordinary can become so delicious.

"Wang Meng prepares meat and drinks at home!"

"Xiao Liu, go to the East City Gate and post the notice!"

After dinner, Zhao Shi instructed Wang Meng and others to work.

After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he disappeared.

Lan Xing, Zhao Shi reviewed today's events and found that there was nothing missing, so he was completely relieved.

It’s a pity that there is no sesame paste in the other world, otherwise the hot pot would be even more powerful.

However, Zhao Shi was not in a hurry. With the speed at which he was gaining the power of incense, he believed that he would be able to transport large quantities of supplies soon.

When Zhao Shi woke up again, the sky in the other world had already darkened.

The originally bustling pub has become completely quiet.

A candle and two lanterns at the door were all the lights on Niujiao Street.

It was truly pitch black.

Zhao Shi stood at the door of the tavern, looking at the inky black street.

There was not a single guest.

However, it is normal to think about it. Although this is the first small shop with ancestral spirits guarding it, whether others believe it is a question. Besides, the rumor that there are evil spirits in Anpingfang has been around for a long time.

No one from the foreign caravan dared to take the risk to come.

jingle jingle jingle
At this moment, bursts of bell sounds suddenly rang out from the depths of the inky black street, accompanied by bursts of hurried footsteps.

There was no other sound. After a moment, a fire appeared at the end of the street.

"Master, in front, right in front, masters, I can't continue to follow you. Many people have died in Anpingfang!" At this time, a low voice with a hint of crying sounded in the darkness.

Then, a deep voice cursed, "Damn it, you must take it to the place, men's money is not that easy to earn!"

"Third brother, give him money and let him go! Don't cause trouble at this time!" However, the cursing voice was interrupted by a rough voice next to it as soon as it sounded.

"Get lost, damn it!"

"Yes, sir, get out now, get out now!"

After a few breaths, a group of people appeared in Zhao Shi's sight.

Five people, six horses! However, these people all looked a little embarrassed at this time. They were dusty and their clothes were tattered.

"Boss, this is it!"

Soon, several people also saw the lanterns hanging outside the tavern, with the word "peace" written on them.

"Come on!"

The rough voice just now naturally also saw the lantern at the door, and spoke with a hint of joy in his words.

"Ok?"

When several people approached, Zhao Shi frowned slightly.

There was a faint layer of gray mist on the bodies of several people. This was not natural mist, or rather, this mist was very abnormal, because ordinary people could not see this mist. Only he, as the ancestor spirit, could see it.

"Little Second!"

"Waiter, come out!"

These people came to the front of the tavern and shouted into the tavern.

The person who spoke was a man in his thirties with a beard. His clothes were tattered, revealing his muscular body. He had a big sword on his back.

As soon as Zhao Shi heard it, he knew it was the cursing voice just now.

Wang Meng and his friends heard the noise and came out of the store. When they saw people coming, they led the five people into the tavern with joy on their faces.

Several other people came forward and tied the animals to the wooden stakes in front of the door.

No one has come since the opening, and they are getting anxious.

The Zhao family is not having an easy time, so their lives will certainly not be easy either.

When these people stepped into the ancestral spirit barrier, Zhao Shi's face suddenly changed, and emotions such as disgust, rejection, etc. appeared in his heart.

Zhao Shi sensed it carefully and found that this emotion was not directed at these people, but at the gray mist on their bodies.

这 是
This was the first time Zhao Shi encountered such a situation.

After thinking about it for a while, he tentatively used the ancestral spirit barrier to contact the gray mist.

Zhi. Zhi. Zhi.
The moment the ancestral spirit barrier came into contact with the gray mist, it was like boiling oil meeting cold water. Instantly, a sizzling sound that only he could hear was heard, the mist was steaming, and a rotten stench came from the few people.
As the gray mist evaporated, Zhao Shi could even faintly hear a crazy roar coming from the mist. Just from the sound, he could feel a sense of madness and bloodthirstiness.

The ancestral spirit barrier gradually dissipated the gray martial mist, and the roaring became weaker and weaker. After more than ten breaths, the gray mist on the bodies of several people was finally dissipated.

"Evil!"

"No, it's an evil aura!"

"That grey mist should be the evil aura that has infected these people!"

This was his first close encounter with evil.

As for whether they would attract evil spirits? Zhao Shi didn't know, but he was not without gain. Now he knew why the ancestral spirits could deal with evil spirits. It was obvious that the ancestral spirit barrier, no, it should be said that the power of incense was the nemesis of evil spirits. It consumed a total of six strands of his incense power to dissipate the evil spirits' aura on the bodies of several people.

It seems that not much incense power is consumed.

But, this is just a breath of evil.

In fact, this breath cannot cause harm to the human body. It is more like a mark, otherwise these people would not have come here.

　I don’t know whether to recommend it for today or tomorrow’s follow-up reading. I’ve been asking for follow-up reading these two days. Thank you all!
