In the main room of the courtyard, a man dressed in luxurious gold silk uniforms reached out to take a bowl of tea offered by the boy. After taking a sip, he looked up and looked outside the house. He saw two people, one yellow and one black, standing in the middle of the courtyard.
Between two people,
There is a wooden basin that is both ordinary and strange.
The shape of this wooden basin is very common. It is an old wooden basin used by ordinary fishermen, but the strange thing is that there are yellow symbols on the front, back, left, and right sides of the wooden basin.
"Ask him if the origin of this eel spirit has been found out."
The noble man in golden clothes whispered to the boy beside him,
The boy said yes,
Then they started gesticulating with the black and yellow people outside the house.
The old man in black cupped his fists and saluted and said:
"We captured him without tampering,
Just wait for His Highness to decide."
His Highness nodded lightly and said without even raising his eyelids:
"Good, take action."
After the boy next to him gestured again, the black and yellow people in the courtyard clasped their fists and saluted. Then the old man in black turned around and held a talisman in his left hand. He raised his sword finger with his right hand, closed his eyes and recited something in his mouth, and pointed at the wooden basin. p>
"Puff puff puff puff!"
There were four soft sounds in succession, and the four yellow symbols on the wooden basin spontaneously ignited in sequence according to the four directions of east, west, north and south.
When the last yellow talisman in the north was lit, the golden moon-worshiping eel in the wooden basin trembled all over, its triangular head slowly stood up, and it stared at the His Highness sitting on the master of the house, motionless.
The four palm-sized yellow talismans on the wooden basin actually kept burning like this. The four hot streams curled up and converged on the wooden basin, forming an arch that condensed but never dispersed.
The old man in black by the basin closed his eyes and recited a mantra silently.
A wisp of black air floated out from the moon-worshiping eel's upright head and merged into the thermal arch above its head.
After half a cup of tea, the old man in black slowly opened his eyes, then closed his eyes again and recited the incantation silently. The heat on the head of the moon-worshiping eel surged again. After repeating this three times, the old man in black rushed to His Highness and the boy in the room.
He made a series of gestures, but the old man in yellow next to him lowered his head and remained silent from beginning to end.
The boy inside the room showed no expression, and also made gestures to the old man outside. The man outside the room nodded solemnly, stretched out three fingers at the same time, and made positive and negative gestures once.
The boy then turned around, approached His Highness, and lowered his voice:
"Your Highness, this is King Yu."
His Highness was tapping the tea bowl lightly. When he heard the boy talking about King Yu, he paused in his hands and stared at the bowl lid in silence.
Seeing this, the boy took a step closer and said:
"The captain checked three times before and after, and when the animal became wise,
We are in a magic circle, and outside the magic circle there are people wearing the costumes of Prince Yu, and there seems to be a bit of King Yu's essence and blood in this aura."
At this point, His Highness finally raised his head and glanced at the boy. Seeing the boy gently nodding towards him, he gradually frowned and murmured to himself:
"Third brother..."
After a few breaths, he covered the tea bowl and told the boy:
"Let him take good care of this live eel. It will be useful for me. In addition, I will send more people to investigate the auspicious and auspicious wonders here. I intend to return to Beijing early."
"Yes."
The boy bowed and saluted, but saw His Highness gently placing the tea bowl on the table. The tea in the bowl was only lightly swayed without spilling a drop.
"Hmph! It's too obvious..."
His Highness slowly walked into the side room with his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he walked.
……
The sun was approaching noon, and on the upper floor of the inner city gate of Qianjiang Prefecture, two soldiers placed their respective spears on the crenellations, holding a pair of large stoneware bowls, and scooping out the mushy porridge inside.
"Hey, it's this gruel mixed with stones again, when will it end?"
One of the older soldiers complained as he took a sip from the edge of the bowl, then deftly spit out the sand in his mouth along with a bit of porridge into the palm of his hand, carefully fiddled with the bitten sand grains, and then put it on his hand. I licked back the sticky porridge foam.
"No, it's better to have a good fight. We can also take the opportunity to go to the countryside to catch some meat and beat it as a tooth sacrifice. It's better than slowly wasting away in these peaceful years."
The two of them were complaining together when they suddenly felt darkness in front of them, and an old man in black stood in front of them to block the sun.
"Eh? Who asked you to go up to the city gate tower? I didn't know it wasn't allowed here..."
One of the soldiers was about to go up and chase them away, but was stopped by the older man next to him.
The old man in black ignored them. After looking around, he turned and walked to a corner of the gatehouse. He leaned over and picked up a few pieces of rubble-like objects to examine them.
The two soldiers stared blankly at the uninvited guest in the corner. The older one suddenly remembered that the white-clothed immortal who descended from the sky that day rode the waves across the gate tower and flew past the eaves, knocking down the evil-warming beast standing on the eaves. , it was broken into several pieces, and he picked it up and threw it into the corner.
Seeing the old man in black taking out a piece of golden silk cloth from his arms and carefully wrapping the fragments of the mythical beast, the soldier was secretly afraid: My mother, look at this man's aura... Fortunately, he had the foresight to stop him. Xiao Si'er didn't seek bad luck with this person, otherwise...
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the old man in black waving to him and saying:
"You two, come here and talk."
The two soldiers looked at each other, picked up the spear leaning on the crenel, and walked slowly to the man in black.
"Why did this evil-proof beast fall?"
"Ah..."
Seeing that the two soldiers were silent, the old man in black took out two strings of small coins from his arms and threw them over with a "clatter" sound.
The soldier was dumbfounded and did not move, but two strings of small coins were accurately inserted into their arms. The older soldier dropped the spear in his hand with a "clang" and touched his arms, and his face became a little brighter.
.
After thinking for a while, he recounted in ten words what he saw with his own eyes on the city gate tower that day.
But as he was talking, he realized something was wrong with the man opposite him. Why was this man in black always staring at his lips?
……
At the foot of the nameless hill, Mr. Zhang in the tofu shop made two simple side dishes for noon. After coaxing his two grandchildren to finish lunch, he also picked up the meal and then took his two grandchildren in front of the door.
Play in the courtyard to eat.
After a while, the two boss boys started laughing and quarreling, and Father Zhang didn't bother to care. He just lay in the recliner and watched, and gradually a fight broke out between his upper and lower eyelids.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Just after squinting for a while, he heard the sound of the fence gate being pushed open. He opened his eyes and saw two people, one white and one green, standing at the door. At first, he thought it was the gentleman and his wife who helped him carry letters that day. They were here again.
When I looked carefully, I realized that my eyes were dim because of old age, and there were two old men standing at the door.
If you look carefully, you can see that one of them has a metal mask on his face, while the other always has his eyes closed.
"This old man, has anything unusual happened on this mountain recently?"
The one wearing the mask asked.
Before Father Zhang could answer, his two grandchildren rushed to speak:
"Of course there are, there were immortals fighting on the mountain a few days ago."
"Nonsense, it's obviously an immortal dancing."
"You're talking nonsense, it's just a fight."
The two boss boys started to fight after they started arguing. After Zhang scolded them and separated them, he sang "Oi" to the two at the door and said carefully:
"Tong Yan Wuji, don't be surprised, you two. To talk about something unusual, it was indeed dark that day, and then there was wind, rain, thunder and lightning, but I was dazzled and did not see any trace of the immortal. As for these two
Children must have mistaken the rolling dark clouds in the sky for immortals."
"It's not a dark cloud, it's just two immortals, one white and one black, chasing each other on the clouds."
"Nonsense, it's a sword dance on the clouds, not a fight."
The two children started arguing again, and Father Zhang rewarded each of them with a jujube chestnut, and the courtyard calmed down.
Bai Qing and Bai Qing asked again, but Zhang Lao only said that his old eyes were dim and he was not lucky enough to see any immortals. Bai and Qing didn't say anything more, and left.
Mr. Zhang leaned against the fence gate and looked at his back in the distance. He saw the two people walking to the entrance of the village, then turned to a path and went up the mountain.
Father Zhang turned around, closed the courtyard door, and scolded the two children in a low voice:
"If anyone asks about the immortals on the mountain again in the future, just tell them that they were dazzled that day and must remember it, otherwise your father will give you both a good beating!"
"Oh!"
"Yeah!"
……
On the hill, two people, one green and one white, shuttled through the forest. The old man in green always closed his eyes tightly, but walked freely in the forest, and stopped from time to time to concentrate and feel.
About an hour after burning the incense, two figures, green and white, appeared again on the top of the mountain, but they were no longer the man and woman from yesterday.
The old man in white squatted next to the huge stone and looked at it carefully.
The old man in green clothes accurately picked up a few fragments from the ground. They were the wine cups that Jia Fei smashed after taking the last sip of wine.
"The aura of wood is so strong, it should be a great demon in disguise."
The old man in white squatted beside the boulder, frowning more and more. After hearing what the man in green said, he took the other person's hand and touched the deep strokes on the boulder.
"Hiss!"
The man in Tsing Yi suddenly retracted his hand as if frightened, and then spoke:
"This remnant of sword energy...could it be that this stone is the sword manual carved by the sword's edge? Is this immortal trace left by a sword cultivator?"
After looking around for a while, the old man in white nodded and said:
"It must be so. I still remember what the kid at the foot of the mountain said just now. I saw an immortal dancing with a sword on the mountain that day. Looking around the top of the mountain, there are many traces of rocks, grass and trees destroyed by sword energy. Most of them belong to a sword sect on Qianxia Mountain.
People, I don’t know why they came here and did what they did.”
"Well, in that case, I should ask His Highness the King of Jin whether he should inquire about this matter from Qianxia Mountain."
After the two discussed it, the old man in white took out a stack of paper and a piece of black printing wax from his arms to imprint the stone carvings on the boulder.
Unfortunately, the sword energy still remains on the stone. Not to mention the pieces of thin soft rice paper, even the piece of black printing wax has several deep and fine marks after just a few rubbings.
