The matter of going to the mountain to worship ancestors was imminent, and Long Shengzhou sent a letter home. In four days, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he had to return immediately without any mistakes.
Mu Tao got up early and knocked on the door, but no one answered. So Mu Tao went to Xia Ze's ancestral home on Hehua Lane alone, and asked Wu Zhui about the land. Xia Ze didn't seem to have been there, so she felt a little depressed.
Returned to Niuti Alley tea shop.
Finally, when she got to the door, the boy was actually carrying a basket of dry food and tools bought at the morning market, and greeted her with a smile.
"Where have you been this early in the morning?" Mu Tao asked confused.
"In my first year as a headhunter, I had to tell my parents and eldest brother about this important matter, so I got up early and put incense sticks on my parents' graves. Then I went to the morning market to buy my things.
It’s all ready.”
Mu Tao looked down and understood immediately. No wonder the boy was covered in dew that had not yet dried, and there was still some mud around his feet.
"By the way, Miss Mu, I'll give this to you." The young man smiled a bit Burmese, and the dark circles under his eyes were particularly conspicuous.
"For me? This is it?" Mu Tao took the stack of paper he handed over and took a closer look. It turned out to be hundreds of yellow paper talismans.
"I stayed up late to write this. After all, I couldn't just use Mu girl's things. The first time I wrote it, I didn't write well, but I tried it with one or two pieces and the effect was good. Next time I meet Mu girl, I will definitely be able to do it.
If you write better, I will give Miss Mu a few more."
Mu Tao looked at the talisman in his hand, puffed out, and smiled.
A serious talisman from the Immortal family must be made of yellow silk and inscribed inscriptions.
The talisman is a talisman, and the urn is a dharma urn, which is similar to the list of gods. It is convenient to ask the gods to send generals to suppress demons and exorcise them.
There is no way to master the art. To draw amulets, you need to rest and knead the secrets, concentrate on the brushwork, first write the edict on the talisman, then click three points to call the heaven and earth people, and then draw the corresponding gods, such as the God of Wealth, who needs to draw the golden wheel of Ruyi, Marshal Zhao's knot.
, and finally stamped with a Tianshi Seal, a Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal, and a Qiu Yu Gong Seal to complete the talisman. If you can't get the three seals together, ordinary seals will do, but their effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This piece of talisman was written in a decent way, but the boy didn't have the seal of the Heavenly Master, so he randomly found a seal with "Xia Ze Naiyu" engraved on it and stamped it.
"Xia Ze, you can do it. It's only been a few days and you've learned how to brag. I have to think carefully about whether to let you be my little follower, so that you won't bully men and dominate women just because you have learned some skills.
Ruin this girl’s reputation.”
Xia Ze couldn't argue. When he was worshiping his parents, he used a Rainmaker's Raindrop Talisman in front of the graves of his parents and eldest brother. It really only caused a light rain in a small area in front of the graves.
At first, he planned to write nine hundred and ninety-nine talismans to give to Mu Tao, but it took him two hours just to find the yellow paper to write the talismans on. Seeing that the rooster would crow in three hours, he became more and more anxious.
The more mistakes he made, and after wasting hundreds of talisman papers, he had to shorten his goal to a hundred.
Drawing the talisman was extremely labor-intensive, and it was not until late at night that he gradually started to improve. Only then did he remember that he was missing the Celestial Master Seal, so he thought of giving it a try and stamped it with his private seal. The effect was surprisingly good.
I don’t know if it’s because of Qierye.
Mu Tao looked through the various talismans in her hand, and the more she looked at them, the more she liked them: "Okay, okay, thank you."
Entering the yard, Lu Ying had just made breakfast. He Xi finally woke up yesterday, and He Xu was holding a bowl of hot porridge and feeding it to her spoon by spoon.
Hearing Xia Ze's voice, she smiled shyly: "Back?"
Xia Ze nodded and quickly said: "Yes."
Li You and Fu Qi had already lost their patience after staying in the town for a few days, and were eager to go into the mountains. Mu Tao originally wanted Li You to stay and look after the home, but seeing how anxious he was,
He looked impatient and said nothing.
"Then after breakfast, we can go to the mountain to worship our ancestors. Is that okay?" Mu Tao said.
Xia Ze nodded and said: "Everything is ready. Let's go to the inn to borrow a few horses and then we can enter the mountain."
"Yu Han, do we really want to go into the mountains with Chang Sheng's army?" Xu Hun asked.
A few days ago, the two of them were galloping and finally found the victorious army wandering at the border of Daqi.
As a result, hundreds of people rushed to Yunxi Town in a hurry. The situation here was calm, and there was no Dharma giant with a height of dozens of feet as described by Wei Yuhan. Everything was as before. Then for some reason, an evil wind spread in the military camp, saying that Daqi
The second prince Wei Yuhan wanted to imitate the allusion of beacon fire to play with the princes, so as to test the vigor of Du Jiangchuan, the commander of the side army of the Ever Victorious Army.
Everyone in the military camp complained about Wei Yuhan's "playing" behavior. Fortunately, at first he was worried that the presence of too many people in Yunxi Town would be regarded as a sign of war by Dazhou, so only a few hundred people came, otherwise this would
The situation was beyond his control, Wei Yuhan.
Wei Yuhan sighed: "The Ever Victorious Army was originally the stragglers who were recruited by Cao's army when Cao Bing recaptured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. He thought that he could work with the Yisheng Army to resist the border invasion. However, in the past few years, there have been reports from the border.
It’s all the dirty deeds of the rebels and the victorious army. The court doesn’t want to slap you in the face, so naturally it turns a blind eye.”
"Du Jiangchuan is a monk in the fifth realm. His cultivation level must be higher than the two of us. He will not be subject to foreign military orders. They are unwilling to go back empty-handed. I have no other way. As long as they don't do too much under my nose.
If it's too much, then let them do it. When this trip to the mountains is over, we can return to the DPRK as soon as possible."
Xu Hun nodded and opened the door.
Outside the door, there was a dark-skinned man holding a reward, nodding and bending with a flattering look on his face. He was the neighbor of Xia Ze's residence, Zu Zong.
"Master Ancestor, I would like to ask you to give me some advice on this trip into the mountains. If this trip goes well, I will give you a generous gift."
When it was finally time to go out, Lu Ying calmly pulled Xia Ze aside and whispered: "Remember, when you encounter danger, you must know how to run away and don't show off, but remember to protect Miss Mu."
Crossing the threshold, the blind He Mu couldn't see. He followed the position of Xia Ze's words and smiled slightly: "Come back early."
Xia Ze was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly agreed and left. After all, He Xu couldn't bear to hit him with that sharp-edged stick.
When I arrived at the east side of Yunxi Town, I negotiated with the horse-raising brother Xiaowu to rent four horses.
Xiaowu, whose surname is Ye, is Xia Ze’s playmate since childhood. Hearing that Xia Ze started his business as a headhunter for the first time this year, he had a red cloth tied around his horse’s neck.
Xiao Wu looked at Mu Tao behind Xia Ze and teased: "Xia Xiaoer, with your three-legged cat skills, you really dare to lead people into the mountains. I heard that there are ghosts outside the Mawei grave at night. You
Don’t save face and suffer the consequences. No matter how much money you make, it’s not good to have a wife without your life.”
"The guests are here, don't delay my fortune." Xia Zepi smiled.
Xia Ze had heard in the early years that the locals in Yunxi Town taking outsiders into the mountains was extremely dangerous and costly. It depended on whether the headhunter was strong enough or not.
After all, a lowly Jie Cao like him only needs to take Mu Tao and others across Tongzi Peak and the Migratory Crossing at the base of Hulu Peak, and the rest will be nothing to do with him.
Feishu headhunters, the most advanced among headhunters, need to carefully consider every step, advance and retreat together with outsiders, know how to be happy, support the shackles, and call on the little gods at critical moments to repel ghosts and evil spirits.
The road leading from Miguidu to Mawai Tomb was explored by some people in the early years. Later people only needed to take outsiders to walk along the road that their predecessors had walked.
This incident actually saved many poor people who had no rice to cook.
Leaving Yunxi Town from the north, the horse galloped for thirty miles. It was still about ten miles away from Tongzifeng. It took an hour to reach a riverside with rich water and grass, which was perfect for the horses to take a rest.
Li You and Fu Qi took out two pairs of fishing rods from somewhere and sat by the river to fish.
Xia Ze sat alone by the river and grabbed a stone, but he was not very interested and did not throw it out.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Tao grabbed a handful of wild flowers and sat next to him.
"I had a chat with Mr. Qier yesterday, and I roughly knew who the sect that attacked me was, and I was a little confused."
"It looks so good!" Mu Tao held a small yellow flower between her thumb and index finger, hung it in Xia Ze's ear, looked at it up and down, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
Xia Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Mu Tao got interested. One flower was not enough, so he used his head as a potted plant, one here and one there. After thinking about it, he scratched Xia Ze's hair and turned it into a chicken coop.
"What are your plans after that?" Mu Tao asked, looking into his eyes.
"I don't know yet. Life is so short. Of course I want to go out for a walk, to Daqi, Dazhou, and even Longshengzhou, the hometown of Miss Mu, to see how the swordsman and swordsman in Miss Mu's mouth is so free and happy.
." He picked up a stone and threw it out. The stone floated three times on the river and then sank to the bottom.
"But the dozen or so lonely children in the town will probably not be able to survive without me, and my sister-in-law Lu Ying, if I am not here, she will definitely be bullied. Thinking of this, even if she only thinks about going out to make a living,
, I won’t be happy in my heart, I’m afraid I’ll have to spend the rest of my life in a small town, Miss Mu, I can’t be your little follower of the Sword Immortal, I’m sorry.”
He looked at Mu Tao, trying to see a trace of displeasure in her eyes. If she was really angry and scolded him for being worthless and incompetent, he would not be able to fight back or scold her back.
The girl just chuckled, grabbed the corner of Xia Ze's drooping mouth, and lifted it up: "My parents are here, why don't we travel far away, it's okay, it doesn't matter if we can't do it, I will make an exception and accept your little follower, keep this copper coin, in the future
Whenever you encounter difficulties, send a letter to Longshengzhou Fenghuo Pass, saying that Mu Tao's number one follower is in trouble, and this girl will definitely descend from the sky with the help of clouds."
Xia Ze smiled brightly: "Miss Mu, can you tell me who is on the other end of your marriage line? Is it a man who suits your heart?"
In the distance, a group of people passed by the road in a mighty manner, with such great momentum that it raised clouds of dust.
A young man wearing a green brocade robe rode out from the team and came to the river. He raised his horse's head high and said with a smile: "Miss Mu, we meet again!"
