Those who like it will definitely like this bowl of mutton soup very much.
People who are disgusted will also cover their noses and walk away when they see a mutton soup shop.
Nowadays, for poor people, eating a bite of meat is a great enjoyment, and it does not matter whether it tastes bad or not.
All the disciples in Zao Class ate deliciously,
Su Wu is no exception.
——He also likes to drink mutton soup.
He broke the sesame cakes into pieces and soaked them in the soup. There was no trace of chili peppers at the moment, so he couldn't sprinkle some mutton oil chili peppers in the mutton soup, which made Su Wu quite regretful. He ate a few bites of the mutton soup biscuits, and
Eat the lamb lungs with one chopstick,
After drinking a glass of wine with them, the master, whose face was flushed, said: "Master, I wanted to ask you last night - are there such people as corpse exterminators now? They are so sneaky everywhere, they are chasing those corpses, aren't they afraid of attracting severe consequences?
sly?"
Dead people, deserted villages, tombs, mass graves and other places also attract spies,
It's not just empty words.
But it does happen.
Although the reason for this is difficult to understand, avoiding these things always does some good to people.
Therefore, Su Wu couldn't understand why the profession of corpse exterminator still exists?
Others wish they could hide from Li Gui,
They just drove the corpses around, deliberately attracting evil spirits?
If there is no mystery in the world,
That's all these people do.
But now it is clear that there is a world of monsters, and the invasion of monsters is something that exists in many people's memories - if we continue to chase the corpses like this, I am afraid it will not be justified.
Even if there is the temptation of money,
Then you have to have your life to collect it!
“Most of the corpse exterminators who have loose connections come from western Hunan.
Xiangxi has been plagued by plagues since ancient times, and strange phenomena such as grass, ghosts, and women falling into caves often occur here.
And these corpse exterminators with loose connections are also pitiful people.
They were accidentally entrusted by Li Gui, and their parents and relatives abandoned them.
In order to find a way to survive, he became a local guard at the Yizhuang where the corpses were kept, and settled down in a place where ordinary people would not want to stay any longer.
Over time,
The corpse exterminators discovered that,
The corpse energy emitted by the corpses in Yi Zhuang was very effective in suppressing the evil spirits in their bodies.
Those who have died in a foreign land have particularly strong corpse aura.
Yes,
These first corpse exterminators traveled to various places to collect commissions from their masters, and they could also use the corpse energy emitted by the corpses to suppress the evil spirits in their bodies. The inheritance would continue in the future, and the professor was also trapped by the evil spirits.
disciple,
Yi Zhuang all over the country exchange what they have,
Eventually, today’s ‘Sanrenkou’ was formed.”
Li Yueshan drank a few mouthfuls of mutton soup and then exchanged a few words with Su Wu.
I drank half a bowl of mutton soup,
After eating two sesame seed cakes, he finally finished what he said.
"I see."
Su Wu suddenly nodded.
According to what the master said, a controller like himself who can accommodate two Li Wei in his body should be able to become a disciple of the corpse exorcists of the Sanren Line and learn from them how to use corpse energy to suppress the Li Wei in his body.
"The body of the deceased is unlucky after all.
Aren't corpse-removal craftsmen who have been driving corpses away all year round, traveling around and spreading connections, afraid of attracting sneaky people?" Su Wu asked thoughtfully.
“They have inherited it since the Song Dynasty,
It seems that there is a way to avoid serious tricks.
This is their secret,
Old man, I don’t know very well." Li Yueshan drank the last sip of wine with a "Zi Liu" sound, ate the haggis at the bottom of the bowl with a few chopsticks, and looked at the disciples.
Most of the disciples had finished the food before him.
Only Su Wu and the two women ate slower.
He knocked the pipe pot dissatisfied and said to Su Wu: "Eat quickly and don't talk too much!
I found out,
Every time you eat more slowly than others,
At your age, you should gorge yourself on food.
Don't you feel hungry if you eat so slowly?"
"What about the corpse exorcist of Maoshan witch?" Su Wu asked again quickly, then turned to hold up the bowl and said immediately, "You talk, I eat, and when you finish talking, I finish eating too!
"
The master glared at Su Wu and said,
But he didn’t say anything else,
He directly talked about the "Maoshan Witch": "Taoist priests from the Qing lineage in Maoshan, combined with the local Wu Nuo method in Maoshan, are called 'Maoshan Witches'.
Taoist priests of this lineage are proficient in witchcraft.
He also practices Taoism and is also a powerful character.
The corpse remover from Maoshan is also known as the 'mountain mover'.
This does not mean that their Taoism and witchcraft can move mountains.
Rather, they are good at finding places to gather energy and hide wind among the ups and downs of mountains.
What Taoist Taoists call driving away corpses is
In fact, it is a kind of practice for them.
This ‘corpse’ is not a dead corpse either,
It's their disciples or their elders.
Bury the 'corpse' in a place where Qi gathers and wind is stored,
Help the ‘corpse’ practice!
This 'corpse' can either be the spirit descending into reality, or it can be the manifestation of the ancestors. It is a matter of investigating the past and cultivating the truth through 'falseness'.
——The old man only knows so much.
If you have the opportunity to meet the mountain-moving Taoist priests of Maoshan Wu, you can ask them yourself - but whether they are willing to pay attention to you is another matter.
In fact, various Taoist and witchcraft practices are often connected.
For example, the techniques of shamanism and Nuo are similar to supporting the shackles, stiffening the horse's legs, and asking the yin of madness.
The more you understand,
The more you can find that some of their rituals are very similar."
The master looked at the eldest disciple’s confused eyes and said,
Then he said: "There will always be a chance to understand in the future. Now, drink your mutton soup quickly!
It’s all cold,
No waste is wasted!”
Su Wu didn't dare to say anything anymore, buried his head in sleep and drank up the mutton soup.
The mutton soup is extremely delicious,
It's a pity that he was too busy asking questions without tasting it.
After breakfast,
Li Yueshan gave the Yangtang Restaurant a few copper coins and was allowed to put all the things in their shop.
In this way, the group of people can travel lightly,
Following the shopkeeper’s instructions,
Went to the livestock market in the east.
present,
Not long after the livestock market started,
The dealers who were in a hurry to sell the animals and exchange them for money had already tied the animals to the fence posts around the market.
There are far fewer people hanging out at the livestock market.
Most people come here,
I really need to buy an animal and go back.
This place has a very strong smell of fishy odor, feces and urine from all kinds of animals. If it weren't for the purpose of selecting animals, no one would be willing to linger in this place.
In the livestock market,
Mostly donkeys, cattle, and sheep.
There are fewer big mules, but seven or eight can be seen.
"Moo——"
"Ah-uh-ah-uh-"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..."
The sounds of various animals, mixed with a strong fishy smell, rushed straight into the faces of the kitchen team and the group.
Master is carrying a small baggage,
Walk freely along the zigzag fence,
From time to time, ask the dealer to open the mouth of an animal to look at the teeth, lift up the hoof to look at the hoof pads, lift the tail and look at the dung gate.
He obviously has some experience in buying large livestock,
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone straight to the market after eating somewhere.
Li Yueshan not only asked about the price of the mule,
They will also ask about the price of donkeys and oxen.
Su Wu followed him,
When the cows saw him, they all flapped their ears and crowded towards him, so that Li Yueshan couldn't help but said in surprise: "Are you a grasshopper?"
How come these farm cattle like it so much?"
"..."
I looked at all the mules in the market,
Li Yueshan didn't like it at all.
"Both are donkeys and mules. In fact, donkeys and mules can also pull carts, and their endurance is stronger than donkeys or horses.
But these donkeys and mules here either have pus on their hoof soles, have gastrointestinal problems, or are too old. If you want to use them, you must first treat their illnesses and get medicine."
He shook his head repeatedly, not satisfied with this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.
People who sell large livestock within a hundred miles have gathered here.
In this way, you still don’t like the livestock you want to buy.
Then we can only settle for the next best thing.
"There are a few donkeys here that are pretty good,
How about we buy a donkey first and take care of it?" Li Yueshan asked his disciples for their opinions, and mainly looked at Su Wu.
Su Wu said: "You might as well buy two donkeys.
A male donkey, a female donkey,
Let them help pull the cart.
We can also let them mate and breed cubs in the future.”
“It’s been more than three months now,
It's almost April, and it's not far away from the time when the female donkey goes into heat.
so,
They were matched on the road,
Are you going to take care of the next few donkeys?" Li Yueshan glanced sideways at this disciple who didn't understand common sense.
Su Wu opened his mouth,
Nothing to say.
finally,
Li Yueshan spent five taels and three taels of silver,
Bought a big green donkey.
When the donkey is energetic and capable, his temper is also gentle.
After eating a few handfuls of hay handed to it by Pearl, it was happily led away by the kitchen team.
"After all, a donkey is not as good as a mule.
There isn’t much to pull in, so we have to put in the effort..."
While walking outside the fence, Li Yueshan said to his disciples.
They haven't left the fence yet,
exit,
A big man with a black face walked in along the fenced aisle, leading a large animal that was also shiny black.
See that big animal,
Li Yueshan's eyes were startled.
——The animal led by the black-faced man was a big horse and mule!
However, the horse and mule's belly is a little bloated.
It actually seemed like she was pregnant.
Unlike donkeys and mules, horses and mules should not be able to reproduce at all.
But now this horse and mule seem to be pregnant with a baby?!
"Are these horses and mules for sale?"
Li Yueshan pulled the strong man and asked.
"Sell!
Fifteen taels!"
The black-faced strong man directly gave a price that was far higher than that of ordinary mules and horses. When he saw Li Yueshan frowning, he quickly added: "My horse and mule are pregnant with a baby!"
When it gives birth to cubs, those cubs can also be sold for money!"
"Then hens can also lay eggs.
If you buy a hen, don't you have to include the eggs it lays every day?" Li Yueshan made the other party speechless with one sentence.
He then looked at the mare mule, which was a strong and muscular mare that was no less than a big stallion.
Then he said: "What's more,
Everyone knows that horses and mules cannot give birth to babies.
Who knows what kind of monster you are carrying in your mule's belly?
If you can't give birth, just have an abortion.
If a freak is born..."
"If you don't want to buy it,
I'm looking for someone else to sell me!" The black-faced man couldn't help but lead the horse and mule into the fence.
"Eh,
Don't worry,
How about I give you nine taels of silver to buy this horse and mule?
You must know that this horse and mule cannot give birth to a baby, but it is pregnant with a baby. This is not a good sign..."
"Nine taels is too low,
The minimum I can give you is fourteen and a half!"
"Don't talk nonsense,
I'll give you an honest price, ten taels, okay? If not, forget it, we have a good donkey anyway."
"...
You can add more, eleven taels!"
"Two or three dollars!"
"Come on, let's make it up. Is it okay with ten and a half taels?"
"OK!"
in this way,
When the Yinxi Maizao team walked out of the livestock market,
Already have a big horse and mule,
A little green donkey.
The master then led his disciples to the oil shop to buy oil.
