Chapter 26 Yang Kai (Part 2)
Xiao Yue seemed to look at me seriously and said, "Date 7, haven't you called me Sister Yueyue yet?"
When I was stunned, I opened my mouth, then grabbed my forehead embarrassedly, and hesitated: "Yue...Sister Yueyue!"
Xiao Yue responded with satisfaction, then looked back at his room, as if he was used to it: "I like the quietness of the night, I also like this environment and feeling, which can be considered to be exercised to adapt to the dark environment for a long time in the future."
"What? Long-term adaptation to the dark environment? Why?" I didn't understand, so I asked directly.
Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said indifferently: "Because I have not had much time and I am a dying person, so it doesn't matter whether there is light or not to me now."
I clearly saw that when she said this, there was still a smile on her face, but in my heart it was like a big rock hitting into a big puddle. There was a roar in my head. I asked in shock: "You...you don't have much time? Why?!"
"I..." Xiao Yue was about to speak, but her eyes suddenly turned to the corridor behind me. She just glanced at it and whispered in a low voice: "Qinqi, can we enter the room and say ok?"
After Xiao Yue said this, he walked into the room quickly. I hesitated for a moment and quickly turned around to look at the end of the corridor. I saw a figure standing there quietly, and the figure and height of the man were exactly the same as the person I had seen before. Is it... not bad! It was the butler Xiao Bingsheng!
With a kerosene lamp lit, the room became much brighter in an instant. Under the candlelight, Xiao Yue's appearance became even more beautiful. It seemed that the candlelight was shining, and the originally pale face also had a faint blush. This was the first time I was in the same room with such a beautiful girl. Moreover, this was someone's boudoir, so I was a little restless, not to mention the embarrassment on my face, and I didn't know where to grab both hands, so I had to work hard on the back of my head...
Xiao Yue smiled and made a 'please' gesture and said, "Please sit down."
I thought about it carefully and immediately asked, "Sister Yueyue, I saw that person just now... very much like your housekeeper Xiao Bingsheng, but you seemed very unhappy to see him. Why is that?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yue's face suddenly changed, and then she laughed coldly: "He likes me, and...he also wants to marry me!"
I suddenly had a big face, as if the people and things I met today were not what I had seen before. Xiao Yue, a girl, actually said that her marriage was so cold and calm, and I became even more embarrassed, but I also had to say: "Then... then don't you like him?"
Xiao Yue's face became even colder and said, "Of course I don't like him. Besides, why do I like a despicable villain? But my parents respect him very much, but instead think I should like him, hum!"
I was stunned for a moment, but Xiao Yue didn't seem to be afraid of me saying anything, so I said boldly: "Since you think he is a despicable villain, why do your parents respect him so much? This... it seems like a very wrong way, right?"
"Bang!"
Xiao Yue suddenly clenched his pink fist and smashed the table, which made the candle fire on the table pause immediately. She sighed deeply, then sat down opposite me, and smiled bitterly: "Xiao Bingsheng is not a good person, but my parents just don't believe what I said. Instead, my father... My father actually wants to accept Xiao Bingsheng as his disciple and teach him all his mysterious Taoist skills to Xiao Bingsheng. Let me ask, how can a beast who is inferior to beasts practice Maoshan Taoist skills that are admired?"
Just after Xiao Yue finished speaking, I didn't understand a word, but I asked patiently: "You said Xiao Bingsheng so badly, but your parents completely disagree with your statement. Is it because you and Xiao Bingsheng have any misunderstandings? Or... do you really know what Xiao Bingsheng did?"
Xiao Yue's face became paler, but she could not stop her painful expression. She sighed softly and said, "I originally thought that Xiao Bingsheng was as loyal and kind as his dead father. We were very good friends when we were young, but one day three years ago, I went to play with him and found a huge secret of him, that is—"
"Seventh day of the lunar month? Seventh day of the lunar month!"
Suddenly, the shouts of Master Yang Yuanshan sounded in the corridor outside, and Xiao Yue's words stopped. When I walked around the courtyard without permission, I would definitely be scolded by Master as being rude. So, I jumped up and said to Xiao Yue in a hurry: "My master called me, probably because Master's ritual has been prepared. Sister Yueyue, can I come and listen to you tomorrow?"
Xiao Yue forced a smile and nodded, "Well, then I'm still waiting for you in front of the wooden railing. Now that I'm talking to me, I'm not so bored."
I clearly saw how far-fetched Xiao Yue’s smile was, because her eyes could not deceive people, and her eyes were already wet...
I focused on it and said, "I will definitely come to chat with you!"
After saying that, I turned my head and walked out, and ran into Yang Yuanshan, strode towards me. After seeing me, Yang Yuanshan stumbled slightly at Xiao Yue's room, and then scolded in a low voice: "You little brat knows running around! Your master has prepared the rituals and follow me!"
"Oh..." I responded, followed Yang Yuanshan away from the backyard, and walked straight to a small single house on the west side of the front room. I took a look and it must be the quiet room where Master Yandao was.
As I said, this small house built alone is completely different from other houses. To be precise, it should be a Taoist temple. As soon as I entered the house, there was a wide Famao hanging from the door. Directly opposite, there was a tall and antique table with everything on the table, but I could not recognize it. The top was the statues of three gods, and on the wall upwards, there was a white-haired old god with fairy-like style hanging on the wall. The old god held a whisk in his hand and carried it behind his back with one hand, looking up at the sky, making people feel very disrespectful and worshipped.
There are three pillars of fragrance inserted on the incense burner. It must have been my master. In front of the incense burner, there are countless blank talisman papers, brushes, red inkstones, and a dagger-like sword. The sword handle seems to be inlaid with exquisite and transparent gems. It looks like it is not an ordinary dagger. There is a bronze bell on the side, and there is a square bell, but there are circles of strange symbols on it. I saw Mr. Wu also has one of this thing. Mr. Wu called this thing a compass. On the side of the compass, there is a small cloth bag made of broken red cloth, but I don’t know what it contains. In addition, there is also an incense candle, and a thing that looks weird and looks like a seal. There are three small bowls of medicinal soup at the edge of the table. Of course, there are some fragments and pieces I can’t even describe, and I can only stare at me.
The master was standing by the side. At this time, he was wearing a withered yellow robe, a black flat-cornered hat on his head, and a black and white Pisces picture on the brim of the hat. His appearance was exactly like the master he saw during the day!
Master Yang Yuanshan looked stern and said, "I won't burn incense to the ancestors in the seventh day of the first lunar month!"
I hesitated for a moment, and quickly followed Yang Yuanshan's instructions to respectfully lit the three pillars of incense, bowed three times to the altar, and then inserted it into the incense burner.
At this time, the master stepped forward and smiled and said, "Well, with such sincerity, I believe that the ancestor will bless you to overcome this disaster smoothly. Come together in the distant mountains."
I followed my uncle to the inner hall and room in a daze. Yang Yuanshan also followed slowly. He saw several wooden benches placed in the inner hall and room. There was nothing strange about this book, but the wooden benches were arranged in a strange way. They all looked at each head and tail, roughly forming a spoon. And I found that under each bench, there was a handful of incense burning under each bench, and each handful of incense was in a flower shape... It looked very similar to plum blossoms, which was also my initial understanding. When I came here, my uncle stopped, and my master and I stopped too.
The master pointed to the wooden bench in front of him and said, "Far Mountain, you are actually more skillful in using this Kaiyang technique than me. If it weren't for your great damage to your vitality, I would really want to see you use it once and let me take a look, haha!"
Yang Yuanshan shook his head and smiled, "Kaiyang is one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, also commonly known as the Big Dipper Gathering Star. The ancients said that "Kaiyang cuts off Yin". When used in our Taoist art, it has the wonderful function of expelling evil in Yin. Kaiyang art requires the power of the Big Dipper star formation to exert its maximum effect. This is the seven-star bridge. When the side position of Kaiyang is at the help of a dark star, the senior brother can set the dark star in an extremely clever place. It really benefits me a lot. It can be said that the senior brother is no longer inferior to me in the use of Taoist art."
The master's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled happily when he heard this, "Far Mountains, the distance mountains, the Kaiyang technique I have worked hard to study is so ordinary in your eyes, and you can easily see through the wonderful method. Yes, Dark Star was set by Brother Hui below Kaiyang, and Brother Hui is really a bit ashamed of himself. Oh, on the seventh day of the lunar month, go and bring the three bowls of medicine soup in front of the altar, remember that the red medical bag was also brought together."
After a while, I put three bowls of medicine soup on a wooden bench, and then handed the red cloth-packed medical bag to my master. After taking it, my master turned over his hands and carried it behind me, and then said to me: "Seventh day of the lunar month, drink these three bowls of life-saving soup first, and then the ritual will begin."
"What? Life-saving soup?!" I couldn't help it anymore and shouted in horror.
Yang Yuanshan immediately scolded: "The life-saving soup your master said is the name of the medicine. If you let you drink it, you can drink it. Where did you get such nonsense?"
That being said, I immediately picked up the first bowl and finished drinking it in one breath. The soup was a little bitter when it was in the mouth, and it felt a little cool when it was drunk. In short, I didn't savor the taste in it. I picked up the bowl again and finished it in one breath. This time the bitterness seemed a bit heavy, and it felt a little hot when it was drunk. Put the third bowl into my mouth, and a strong herbal smell hit me. I held my breath and poured it into my stomach in one breath, and then exhaled a long breath.
Yang Yuanshan nodded and said, "This is a great tonic. If the precious ingredients in it are not in some inventory of your master, I am afraid that my master will not get such good medicinal materials. Well, while the medicine has not yet evaporated, the ones below should concentrate on listening to your master's instructions!"
After saying that, Yang Yuanshan retreated aside, and his master appeared beside me at the right time, and said solemnly: "On the seventh day of the lunar month, take off your shoes and go to the Seven Star Bridge!"
Chapter completed!
