Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 58: Green skirt and robe
The third young master of the Zhang family is a handsome man.
It was during his lifetime.
He and Shi Wuqi stood face to face, his figure was slimmer and lower, shorter than Shanhai, like a childish boy. But Miss Yuting said that he had just turned twenty when he died. Three years ago
, there is an eight-year age difference between her and the young master, and now there is a five-year age difference.
At first glance, it seems that Master Zhang is indeed a living person. After all, he is here alive and can still move around. It is just because of poor nutrition, poor complexion, weak bones, and dull eyes. But to the expert Baiskeleton Master,
It is said that he has indeed been dead for a long time. Because the cellar is not ventilated, there is an indescribable smell
It smells of herbs, with the bitter aroma of wine, and there are different herbs and jars of liquids placed in several baskets at the feet. Wine can indeed nourish corpses, and medicinal wine mixed with different ingredients is also needed to make some specimens.
Wu Qi judged that she was an expert, but she was only at the beginning level because this method of raising corpses was not considered superior.
Yuting put the candle on the table. There was only a very tall broken stool, which was considered a table. There were also two stools. She probably brought them down by herself. There was a mattress on the floor. He knelt down and touched it.
There was a door panel, and the mattress was very soft and clean, like a new one. It was obvious that Miss Yuting was very attentive. But even so, there was still a faint smell of rotting corpses.
He shook his head.
"The corruption is still increasing. You have done well, but...it is limited."
"I want to know, how did you do it? How did you make her...make her feel like she was alive?"
"Use spiritual power."
Spiritual power is the most intuitive and effective. For the same disease, oral administration is more effective than external application. Spiritual power is like a decoction. It is better to pour it in than to rub the body with ointments and liquids every day. But similarly, spiritual power is directly related to a person’s lifespan.
If the hook is strong, it will be like a drop in the bucket; if it is weak, it will lead to loss of life. He looked at this ordinary little girl up and down. She had no qualifications and was just an ordinary person.
"The noble man said he could teach me spells..."
"That also requires practice. Look at which sect in the world you come from. They all have the skills accumulated over many years. Besides, didn't they teach you?"
Shi Wuqi sat on the chair and shook his head. Opposite him, Yu Ting sat down slowly, worried.
Shi Wuqi was actually worried that she had been deceived by that person.
"How long do I have to practice before I can...and, is it really impossible to call his soul back?"
"It's really nonsense. I only know a little bit about it, but I don't understand all the methods. It requires a lot of rare medicines, weird spells, personal spiritual power and immortality..."
At this point, he stopped talking. Because he thought that there is another forbidden technique, which uses the soul of a person to keep the corpse alive. It has to be continued, which is a big loss, and the Six Paths of Impermanence will come to settle accounts. But in ordinary life
Those who have no ability will never dare to cause trouble.
Yuting was very disappointed.
"Can I never let Master Zhang stand up on his own for the rest of my life?"
"Based on how much you care about him, it's unrealistic for me to advise you to give up." He took out a fan from somewhere. "Let me ask you, has your noble man ever asked you to do anything?"
"He is a nice person, but... he loves money very much. He does not refuse any guest from afar, no matter whether he has money or not... But when discussing business, he is never ambiguous about the price. Although he never shows mercy to the poor, he does
I don’t want to cheat the rich. The medicine he gave me was all bought with the money I earned. If I want to learn magic, I can only find a way to make more money, otherwise as you know, he will soon..."
If he is really just a man who is greedy for money, then it is easy to say. But this person is really good at business. When he ran the corpse house, the price was determined based on assessing the buyer's net worth.
His keen business intuition told him that the "noble man" was not simple.
"He taught you these methods and how to manipulate corpses?"
"yes……"
"I really want to meet him."
Yu Ting looked troubled. Under the light of the windless dark room, her face looked a little dazed.
"Although he has a fixed place to work, he is rarely there recently. He often runs errands outside and rarely comes back. I only went to visit after hearing people from nearby villages say that I saw him. But he was there again a few days ago.
He is traveling. He also does things for others."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know his full name, but people in Qinglize call him Lord Shou Gong. He knows Master Baiskeleton—and knows you."
Shi Wuqi shook his head.
Never heard of it, don't know it.
"I do want to help you, but I do care about that person's identity."
"Do you suspect he is a bad guy?"
Yu Ting's expression was very bad, and she immediately became wary of Shi Wuqi. He realized that he had said the wrong thing. To her, "Your Excellency Hunting Gong" was her nobleman, benefactor, and fellow countryman. He was the first person to meet him on the first day.
Who can outsiders sway?
"I didn't mean to let the girl misunderstand." He closed the fan and laughed, "I think I probably know him, but he didn't tell his real name. So, I will have to meet him to find out. If I have the chance
When we meet, we can discuss the art of Gu and see if we can ask for a favor. I don’t want to embarrass you about the price."
"...Really? Then, don't you want to leave tomorrow..."
"Don't panic. We are here to find someone in Qinglize. I can delay it for a few days and let them take a look around."
Looking through the flames on the table, he stared into the little girl's eyes and made calculations in his mind.
Although he seems to be a casual person, this does not conflict with his caution. The owner of the skeleton does not intend to tell this girl so early that the person they are really looking for here. If she is really just a sheep herder,
That would be easy to find out, but she knew
Talking about so many weird things, it would be troublesome to have contact with some weird people. Besides, Shanhai didn't ask anyone when he met him, so he didn't want to get involved blindly. Furthermore, just now he said he was looking for someone, and Yuting didn't do it either.
Too much and it looks like you don't care.
That's it for now.
When he woke up in the morning, Shi Wuqi was still feeling dizzy.
"Your eyes are blue, Wu Qi." Lin Shanhai glanced at him, "Didn't you get a good rest?"
Shi Wuqi sat up slowly like a corpse, thinking to himself, we have slept for less than two hours, let's try it instead.
Mu Wan and Aluan were also in good spirits and seemed to have had a good sleep. Shi Wuqi occasionally glanced at Mu Wan and saw that she was not suspicious. He expected that she must have really slept to death at night. It seemed that she had slept to death.
That powder is quite useful.
After standing outside the house for a while, Shi Wuqi said to Shan Hai:
"Qinglize is so big that it accommodates several towns and villages. You might as well stay a few more days to find out more about the situation before heading towards the hinterland."
"That's natural. But we can't stay here and cause trouble to Miss Yuting."
"……good."
After showing this attitude, Wu Qi knew that there was no need to talk. He also knew that with his glib tongue, he would definitely be suspicious of showing off in front of Taoist Master Lin. But it was better to leave, and tell the matter further away.
They, if he comes back to look for Miss Yuting himself, there will be no problem.
It was natural that Dai Luan couldn't let her go. When they said goodbye, the two girls held hands tightly, and finally had to be pulled away by Mu Wan. Before leaving, Wu Qi looked back at Yuting girl, and the two looked at each other.
, he nodded slightly and drove away.
It only took more than half an hour to walk to the nearest town. The men and women here were all wearing silver jewelry and batik clothes. Most of what they heard and saw in other places was Aizen, but Qing Lize's
Batik is a kind of cyan blue, slightly green, and it looks eye-catching. The fabrics are of different shades and are well matched.
"The indigo produced here is cyan."
The lady in the dyeing shop was waxing fabric at the table at the door, and answered Dai Luan who was watching the fun at the table without raising her head.
"Only the soil here can grow it. If you bring other seeds here, it won't grow." She dipped in wax and continued, "If you bring the seedlings here out, you won't grow them either."
"Oh - like this."
At this time, Mu Wan stuck her head out from the store next door and called her over to take a look. She said goodbye to her aunt and ran over. As soon as she entered the door, she found that it was a silver jewelry store. Shan Hai picked up a silver jewelry and looked at it.
, it is a safety lock, very similar to Aluan's, but the pattern and fineness are different.
"I wonder how Yun Ge is doing." He murmured to himself.
Shi Wuqi looked around absentmindedly. At this time, he noticed another couple of men and women in the store. Their backs were to him. They were both wearing golden brocade clothes and embroidered with exquisite patterns. The craftsmanship must not be from locals.
.The women wore vertical buns, exquisitely braided, and beautiful jewelry; the men wore ponytails and long sideburns. They all had gold-wired scabbards hanging on their waists, which looked expensive.
"Which one of these two hairpins is better? I like the one with engraved leaves, but this one needs to be weighed by the quality of the porcelain."
"Buy them all, buy them all."
Mu Wan glanced at Miss Qi and whispered to Shi Wuqi: "Master Shi, look at this person. Don't you want to give Miss Qi a plastic surgery?"
At this time, the man and woman turned sideways and let the light shine on the silver jewelry. Their faces were very similar, more like brother and sister. The man also had several objects in his hand, and earrings were hung on his fingers.
.
"Be it these, Sister Xu can wear anything else."
"You're so boring." The girl frowned and turned around, "I knew I wouldn't want you to follow me. Shopkeeper, help me wrap this hairpin."
She took out her purse. The man was holding something in his hand and was frantically trying to take out his purse. While searching, he said:
"You didn't say hello, you left a letter, and ran away without saying a word. Fortunately, you ran away before me and walked into the house behind. You asked me to chase you. Look, I didn't help you carry it, and I didn't let you go back.
Ah, you said that it is very dangerous for a girl like you to imitate others and get into the world..."
Mu Wan muttered, what happened to the woman?
His sister had probably heard this a thousand times, and seemed to be angry. She took the wrapped hairpin and ran away, leaving the elder brother in embarrassment. He shook off all the objects in his hands in a panic and turned to the shopkeeper.
Said, these are all included.
Dai Luan suddenly grabbed the corner of Wu Qi's clothes with her backhand.
