"Boss, you don't even know this? Not only do our Jinyi Guards keep a lot of boars and black dogs to prevent accidents, but even the military has some in captivity, just for fear of encountering such evil spirits and being unable to find them temporarily, you
I've been in the palace for so long and I haven't seen that there is a pig farm in the backyard of the prison?" Chen Ming saw that Xiao Chen didn't understand, so he explained it to him.
"When you said that, I remembered that the Zhidian Supervisor did have a pig farm with more than a hundred large black pigs. I thought they were raised for the emperor's wife to eat," Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, those are big boars that have never been slaughtered. The meat is fishy and smelly. How could the emperor eat it? They are often used in the palace to ward off evil spirits. There is also a dog farm where dogs are kept.
Dozens of black dogs are also used for this purpose." Chen Mingdao.
"Is this thing really useful?" Xiao Chen was quite interested in this.
"Of course it works. Both gods and demons are afraid of this kind of filthy thing. They can't stand it once it comes into contact with it. In fact, there is something more useful. Boss, guess what it is?" Chen Ming said sneakily.
road.
"I don't want to guess. Don't you even understand this, Zi Bu Yu, strange power and chaotic gods? Okay, I won't bullshit you. I brought a lot of good people back this time. You can go there whenever you have time.
Take your pick." Xiao Chen actually knew what Chen Ming was talking about because Wen Shanchang told him.
That is, if a woman uses sanitary napkins during menstruation, the menstrual blood on them can also be used to ward off nightmares and ward off evil spirits...
Xiao Chen went home all the way. Before he entered the yard, he suddenly heard a loud bang inside, accompanied by a smell of gunpowder smoke that stung his nose...
He was so frightened that he almost rolled off his horse and fell to the ground. Who am I to drop a bomb on the master's house?
After entering the yard, I realized it was not a bomb, but a firecracker.
The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and of course they have to set off fireworks. Duan Linger and Xiao Chen went to the street and bought a whole cart. They were just trying to explode a marlezi that was as thick as an arm. This thing is very powerful.
, really comparable to a small bomb bird.
"What are you two brats going to do?" Xiao Chen was shocked again when he saw the fireworks and firecrackers piled up like a hill in the yard and the paper scraps on the ground. "Who told you to set off the cannons in the yard?
This thing can't just be piled up like this, if it explodes..."
The consequences are unimaginable!
"I won't listen!" Tie Kunlun complained at the side, "I won't let them buy so many and insist on buying! Do you think you can set off all the fireworks in one night? Besides, such big fireworks are not set off at home, they have to go outside the city.
That’s it!”
"No, we spent dozens of taels of silver to buy these. What if they were stolen outside the city?" Duan Ling'er couldn't bear to part with them.
"Then you go and guard it!" Xiao Chen said.
"Oh, just leave it at home for one night. Tomorrow we will take it outside the city and leave it there!" Duan Ling'er said.
"Isn't tomorrow the fourteenth day of the first lunar month?" Xiao Chen thought he had remembered it wrong.
"Yes, it has to be released tomorrow. On the evening of the 15th, I have to go to the palace to attend the Lantern Festival." Duan Linger said, "But I also want to go to the lantern market."
"I won't go to the Lantern Festival this year, and the emperor didn't order me to go," Xiao Chen said.
"But just now, the Queen, oh, it was Murong Danqiu who sent someone to invite us to the Lantern Festival in the palace." Duan Linger said, blinking his big eyes.
"Tch, if she invites me, will I go to Ang? No!" Xiao Chen is at odds with Li Wanjiang. If you, an old boy, don't personally issue an order to invite me, I won't go either. I, a first-class eunuch, don't want to go.
For face?
The queen's invitation is not worthy enough, so I refuse!
"Uh... But the queen only invited me and Xiao Ye, not you, brother." Duan Linger whispered.
"Please, please... eh?" Xiao Chen's face fell to the ground with a thud, and was shattered into pieces.
"I don't want to go. I want to spend the festival with my brother at home, but the queen has invited me personally. Wouldn't it be too disrespectful to her if I don't go?" Duan Ling'er looked very embarrassed.
"Hmph, your reputation is now greater than that of your brother and me!" Xiao Chen entered the room angrily.
"Murong Danqiu knows that you love them the most, so you invited the two of them to play. Boss, you won't be angry because of this, right?" Tie Kunlun followed in.
"Boss, he's not angry, he's trying to control his anger. Last year, the boss made a big splash at the Lantern Festival. This year, the emperor didn't issue an order to call him in. It's hard for the boss to take the initiative to participate, otherwise it would appear that he likes to show off.
"Fu Yan also strolled in.
"I heard them say that Japan sent some kind of diplomatic mission this year to compete with the talented people of Zhou Dynasty on poems and essays. Isn't our boss the most talented person in China? What if he doesn't attend?" Tie Kunlun said.
"The boss is the number one talented person, but that doesn't mean there are no other talented people in Dazhou. There are so many Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy who are just doing it for a living." Fu Yan said with a smile.
"Li Wanjiang just doesn't want me to be in the limelight anymore. If I don't go, I won't go. It saves the trouble. Let's go to the lantern festival and guess lantern riddles together." Xiao Chen didn't care about this.
He took out the key hammer and wooden fish belonging to Monk Zhangqing and placed them on the table. "This is the magical weapon of Monk Zhangqing. You two, see if there is anything weird about this thing?"
"Oh, boss, why did you bring this back? This thing is very evil..." Fu Yan picked it up and looked at it for a long time, "Yeah? It seems to be an ordinary wooden fish key hammer."
"Aren't there any evil spirits or demons attached to it?" Xiao Chen said.
"No." Fu Yan shook his head. He knew Feng Shui well. If there was anything weird here, he should be able to tell.
"I don't think there's anything magical about this. It was made by craftsmen in the woodwork factory." Tie Kunlun said.
"Ah? How do you know?" Xiao Chenxin said that this kind of magic weapon cannot be mass-produced, right?
"There are words engraved on the bottom of this wooden fish. It was made by a craftsman named Alam." Tie Kunlun pointed to a line of Sanskrit on the bottom of the wooden fish.
"These are the characters that I rely on. I thought it was some mysterious pattern... You kid can even recognize Sanskrit?" Xiao Chen was very surprised.
"I don't know much." Tie Kunlun was modest.
"I always feel that there is something unusual about these two things. Otherwise, why would the chime-bearing monk insist on having these things buried with him?" Xiao Chen's feeling has always been very effective.
But this time it didn't work either, because the three of them couldn't find anything unusual after looking at it for a long time.
"It's better to wait until Ouyang Yunxiu comes and ask her for help," Fu Yan said.
Ouyang Yunxiu is the real expert.
It would be fine if these two things weren't weird. If they were, she would definitely be able to spot them.
"Will she come back?" Xiao Chen was a little worried when talking about Ouyang Yunxiu.
"I will definitely do it. The disciples of the Ouyang family always keep their promises and will never break their promises." Fu Yan said.
"Am I the only one who thinks that young lady is weird?" Xiao Chen wanted to tell them what happened to him and Ouyang Yunxiu that night.
But he also promised Ouyang Yunxiu not to tell anyone... This chapter has been completed!
