At the end of the Lotus Alley, the girl walked leisurely, her steps were light, her hair was randomly tied up in a unique bun, and the golden hairpin was dangling in the sunlight.
Xia Ze followed closely, and occasionally one or two hairs that were not so well-behaved touched his face, tickling him.
Mu Tao suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "I finally figured out why that woman named Lin Luqing had such an expression when she saw you helping me. You and her are destined."
Xia Ze hesitated slightly and looked into Mu Tao's eyes, as if he was not joking.
"Destined? Are you kidding? Her master, the one named Li Muyun, almost beat me to death when he saw me."
Mu Tao frowned and pretended to be angry: "Who are you kidding? I'm serious. There is a saying among us mountain people called the marriage line. God will tie the red thread of two people who are destined to be together.
Together."
Xia Ze was doubtful, but he had heard that there was a fairy named Yuelao in the sky, who was the one who pulled the red thread and was responsible for human love.
"When the marriage threads are tied together, it is called a match made in heaven. If you become a Taoist couple, you will have countless blessings, and your journey to Taoism will be smooth."
Mu Tao's face turned red: "There is a method of dual cultivation of yin and yang, which allows two Taoists to practice cultivation with twice the result with half the effort..."
Xia Ze was confused after hearing this, and was wondering why this girl's face turned red as she spoke, so he asked: "Miss Mu, what is the dual cultivation of yin and yang?"
Unexpectedly, when Mu Tao heard this, he suddenly became angry, glared at him angrily, and scolded him for being shameless.
When Xia Ze heard this, he guessed it.
"Miss Mu, where is this marriage line you mentioned? Can I see it?"
Mu Tao's face improved slightly: "Okay."
Then, with his hands dazzled, he quickly formed seals and murmured in his mouth: "The Tao is learned by the heart, and the false fragrance is passed on by the heart. The fragrant swallows and jade furnaces, the heart is in front of the emperor. The true spirit is looking forward to it, and the immortal is in the Xuan. The ministers report it, and the truth is reached
Nine days."
Two slender jade fingers flashed past Xia Ze's eyes. In an instant, Xia Ze's eyes became clearer and clearer. Looking into the distance, he could see a group of children lying on the ground watching ants move around ten feet away.
When he lowered his head and looked, there was indeed a hair-thick red line hanging in the air, right next to his heart, stretching endlessly, just in the direction Lin Luqing left.
He suddenly felt a little lost and lowered his head slightly.
The girl was wondering, couldn't this spell only see her own marriage line? Why was that guy's eyes so weird?
How could she know that Xia Ze's eyes were already different from ordinary people's, and they were even more powerful with the blessing of magical powers.
There is also a red thread on Mu Tao's chest, which is also as thick as a hair and long, connected somewhere.
He raised his head and said: "Miss Mu, if one of the people connected by the red thread does not want to become a Taoist couple with the other person, is there any way to dissolve the marriage?"
Mu Tao's face changed drastically: "Do you know what you are talking about? This is a great marriage given by God..."
Seeing the young man's firm eyes, Mu Tao felt a little complicated: "There is a way. If it is a sect with rich heritage, it will let the qi practitioners above the eighth level use a mysterious method to solve the marriage of the Taoist couple.
Untying the threads is a method that works once and for all. The two people whose threads are untied will share their blessings and luck equally, and neither of them owes each other anything. This is currently impossible to achieve with my cultivation."
"There is another way, which is to directly use semi-immortal soldiers or immortal soldiers to cut off the red thread. This method is not good unless you are a martial artist or Qi practitioner above the eighth realm. You can travel far away in the wind and go to Lin Luqing in person.
Cut off the red thread in front of you, otherwise the luck will be divided according to the length of the thread left by the person who cuts the thread, and the elder will naturally have the advantage."
The young man was overjoyed, ran a few steps, took out the Lihuo Bahuang Sword given by Lin Luqing, rolled the red thread on his chest several times, and cut off the sword directly after unsheathing it.
Mu Tao was shocked: "What are you doing!"
The young man looked relaxed and said with a smile: "I have broken off the marriage that the gods had tied to me."
"Do you know what you are giving up, fool? Even if you are determined to break off your marriage, you still have to ask me. I am a Sixth Realm Qi Practitioner. I can take you farther..."
Xia Ze looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes showing concentration and tenderness that were rare in his life. He had never seen such an angry Mu Tao. It seemed that there was a trace of heartache in the anger.
"One step, one step, and then another step, always thinking of going further, and further, and walking to her side. I, Xia Ze, am a mud-legged person, and my luck is too thin. There are some things that God will reward me with.
Even if it hits me on the head, I can't catch it."
"If this marriage thread is not about the woman that I, Xia Ze, really like in my heart, I don't care what it is. It is destined by God. It is a match made in heaven. Even if Lord Ma puts a ghost-head knife on my neck to threaten me, I don't want it; if one day
If I really meet a woman I like, and she happens to be the so-called God-given match, that would be great."
There are some things that Xia Ze doesn't dare to talk about. Ever since his parents and elder brother died, he doesn't really believe in Fuze Zuyin. There are very few people who can make him care about him. Lu Ying can barely count one, and Qierye counts one. Then
A group of lonely dolls also count.
But meeting someone made him believe that he had spent all his luck. This was the happiest thing for him since the death of his parents and brother many years ago.
Mu Tao tilted her head: "You really don't regret it?"
Xia Ze nodded and said firmly: "I don't regret it!"
"Can you tell me why you don't like Lin Luqing?" Mu Tao Qiushui blinked, hiding her joy.
Xia Ze whistled, walking a little faster, and the roots of his neck turned red: "It's nothing, it's just that Miss Lin has too many wooden words, and I don't like it."
Mu Tao smiled and was suddenly startled. When he caught up with Xia Ze, he was beaten with powder.
"I have to ask Miss Mu to do me a favor. After all, I cut off the marriage line on my own initiative. Although I left most of the blessings to Miss Lin, in the end I was the one who failed her. I don't know much about literacy. If
It’s inappropriate to ask Miss Mu to write my apology to Miss Lin on my behalf. When the time comes, I will have to ask Miss Mu to teach me how to read a few words. I will write a letter and send it to her to make it clear.”
Mu Tao smiled and nodded, saying it was easy to talk.
"Sure, Xia Ze, you are young enough to learn to hurt girls' hearts. It will be very serious in the future. If you are allowed to travel around the world one day, I am afraid you will become a notorious flower-picking thief."
Xia Ze was too lazy to argue with her. Who knows if she would get angry and give him another headache.
While they were talking, two young men on thin horses passed by them. A gust of fragrant wind blew, and the green-robed young man turned his head and looked sideways, the tip of his nose moved slightly, and said to himself: "It smells so good."
"Uh-" Wei Yuhan pulled the reins and the horse stopped where it was.
But I saw a beautiful girl, followed by a boy in simple clothes, selling vendors along the roadside, talking and laughing, like elves and fairies.
Finally, I stopped at a rouge and gouache shop. I seemed to have taken a fancy to a box of rouge that was a bit expensive. I bargained with the store for a long time, but in the end I still didn't get a satisfactory price, so I had to give up.
As for the young man who was dressed in very simple and simple clothes, he didn't seem to dig into his pocket to make the beauty smile. He just smiled, and the two figures gradually moved away and disappeared at the end of the alley.
Wei Yuhan was greatly puzzled. Xu Hun looked at Wei Yuhan who was in a daze. Where he looked, they were Mu Tao and Xia Ze. He immediately guessed that the second prince of Da Qi was in love.
He dusted his sleeves: "Don't you understand why this young man looks ordinary and dressed up, but there is a pretty girl by his side?"
Wei Yuhan's thoughts were exposed, and he hurriedly argued, "You don't know them personally, how do you know that they are related, what if they are siblings?"
Xu Hun rolled his eyes at him: "You can't tell if we are siblings? There is a big difference in the clothes of these two people."
"You don't know where love starts, but it grows deeper." With a smile on his face, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
Wei Yuhan couldn't bear the guy's gloating teasing, so he got off his horse and shouted to the shopkeeper of the rouge and gouache shop: "Shopkeeper, please wrap up the most expensive boxes for me. I want them all."
Walking outside Lu Ying's tea shop, Xia Ze suddenly said that he had to go out for something and asked Mu Tao to go back and rest early, and he would come back as soon as he went.
Mu Tao checked with internal vision and found that Xia Ze's internal organs did not appear to be injured, so he went back without thinking too much.
In the tea shop, there were already several customers having morning tea. Lu Ying was used to getting up early to get busy with business. On the stove, a blazing fire was cooking noodle soup and tea.
Lu Ying was busy in the white steam, saying hello to Mu Tao, and asked about Xia Ze's whereabouts.
On the other side of the stove, Fu Qi, who looked like a blessing, was skillfully making breakfast. He was extremely skilled in a series of operations of pulling noodles and stretching noodles. Finally, he picked up a soft sword behind his back and dropped the noodles like gurgling water.
When it was put into the pot, it attracted a lot of cheers from the customers in the hall.
Fu Qi wiped the white flour on the tip of his nose and smiled.
Mu Tao thought to herself that this guy might be more suitable here than Xia Ze.
Back to Li You's room, he had woken up and was leaning weakly on the bedside. Mu Tao then told her everything that happened from last night to the morning. When she learned that Xia Ze had detoxified him, Li You was shocked.
For shock.
Outside the door, under the bluestone tiles of the street, there seemed to be a mouse constantly squirming, moving very fast, raising a small ball of earth wherever it passed. When he walked past, the bluestone tile floor returned to normal.
The little bulging bag crossed the tea shop and came to Li You's room. With a plop, he stuck out his little red-haired head, looked at Mu Tao and Li You, and blinked.
The girl waved her hand, and the little charmer pulled out the body buried in the soil with a whoosh.
I saw this little guy wearing a small bellyband with a talisman written on the bellyband that ordered the mountain god to give way to his land. He was carrying a bundle of medicine on his back and a letter written by Yao Ming.
Small spirits like these used to deliver letters are extremely expensive to support. They need to be fed with fairy money regularly to restore their spiritual energy. The talismans painted on the bellyband worn by the body are expensive, and the mountain spirits and ghosts can give way to them.
Yes, but it will also bring considerable profits to the merchants who support it, and it is widely praised by customers.
The only drawback is that there are not many items that can be carried at one time. If it is too heavy, the spirit running the errand may accidentally die in the middle of the journey. This has even spawned a group of thieves who specialize in catching such spirits on the way.
Mu Tao read the letter, which basically said that Yao Ming encountered something on the road and might not be able to return to Yunxi Town within three days. The town has arranged an informant for the Mu family. If he encounters trouble, he can ask for help with a coded code.
The three of them need to consider the matter of ancestral lineage on their own and cannot force it.
There are many rare medicinal materials used in detoxification in that package of medicine. Most of them will not be used at this time. However, there are some medicines for replenishing qi and blood, which are quite beneficial to Li You now.
"We'll leave in three days."
"Why don't you wait for Uncle Yao? It might be a lot safer with him here."
Just as Mu Tao was about to speak, Lu Ying said outside the door: "Miss Mu, there is a young man riding a horse outside. It seems he is here to see you."
