Chapter 143 Knotting the rope

Demon-hunting masters, martial arts masters and ghost-catching masters all cost copper coins, but there are still differences.

The difference is not in the copper coins, but in the knots on the ropes.

In ancient times, when there was no writing, people tied ropes to record things. Nowadays, it is rare to tie ropes to record things. It can only be seen on the bodies of heavenly masters.

An expert only needs to look at the knots on a string of copper coins to know whether it is a monster hunter, a ghost hunter or a martial artist.

"Xiao Bai, Brother Bai, Brother Bai, Uncle Bai." Ye Zigao begged Bai to be happy.

Seeing Bai Bai happy and indifferent, Ye Zigao could only use his trump card, "Bai Bai, little Bai Bai."

"Hey", everyone trembled, and the little old man almost stepped on chicken manure and fell into the shack.

This was too lethal, so Bai Gaoxing compromised, "What are you telling me for?"

Yu Sheng said: "Obviously, it must be for chasing girls."

Ye Zigao nodded, "That girl is a demon-catching heavenly master, and she also likes demon-catching heavenly masters the most."

He is worthy of being the second most beloved lover in the inn. He figured out the girl’s preferences so quickly.

"No, use my money to chase girls, you can't think of it." Bai Gaoxing decisively refused.

"Bai Bai, Uncle Bai..." Ye Zigao chased Bai Xinghao.

Yu Sheng couldn't listen anymore and walked back to the lobby.

The lobby was full of people, and just now I saw the seven demon-hunting masters among them. Everyone was listening to the blind man's story.

The young monk was also sitting next to him, and his bare head was particularly eye-catching.

He listened carefully and even when Yu Sheng walked by him, he didn't see it.

As for the ox, after entering the town, it quietly went to play with the grandson. As long as he didn't drink, he didn't dare to come to the inn.

Aunt Qing was sitting behind the counter, "Why don't you take more rest?" Yu Sheng walked over and asked her.

"Thanks to your pig's trotters, I'm already in good health." Aunt Qing said that she couldn't bear to live without alcohol and only drink porridge all day long.

"I made the pig's trotters, not my pig's trotters." Yu Sheng looked at Aunt Qing, "Are you good too fast?"

This aunt comes and goes in a hurry, her legs and feet are too nimble.

Aunt Qing didn't know what he was thinking, so she hit him on the head with a date seed, "Why are you hoping that I will become terminally ill so that you can take the money back?"

"You think I'm as money-crazed as you are."

"Um?"

"No, no, just leave the money with my aunt." Yu Sheng said hurriedly, "I'm afraid that the reception won't be good enough."

"What's wrong with the reception?"

Yu Sheng remained silent, and he remembered that Aunt Qing seemed to know what her aunt was referring to.

After sitting at the long table and listening for a while, Yu Sheng realized that the blind man was telling the story of the mirror again.

The blind storyteller often talks about this passage, and pedestrians passing by the town are also happy to hear the legend of the town.

The book is talking about Bai Ze's answer to the Queen Mother of the West about the origin of the mirror, saying that in the hands of the owner of the mirror, even people who have entered reincarnation can be recalled.

"Is this treasure really found in this town?" Yu Sheng asked Aunt Qing. The mirror was too magical for the blind storyteller.

"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders," Aunt Qing said.

"But I feel incredible when I appear in this town." Yu Sheng said, "This town is too ordinary."

"Is this ordinary? Which town has the sword pouch of the city lord." Aunt Qing said, "This is a great honor."

Seeing the corners of Aunt Qing's lips raised, she felt a little proud, Yu Sheng said: "I know, I know what your family is like..."

The date core bounced onto his forehead again, "Go away, don't make any noise." Aunt Qing interrupted him.

"Let's go as we go." Yu Sheng straightened up, "I'll dig three feet into the ground."

"what?"

"Looking for a mirror, all the naughty kids in the town are looking for a mirror now," Yu Sheng said.

According to the blind storyteller, this mirror can cure all diseases. Whoever finds it will make a fortune?

"You three-year-old kid, do something serious, there will be so many guests having dinner later." Aunt Qing stopped him.

Yu Sheng turned around and was about to start cooking when he said, "I found it, I found it." The bun ran into the inn like a rabbit.

"What did you find?" Li Zheng asked him.

"I found the mirror." Baozi said, holding up the mirror in his hand.

The mirror is oval, rusty, has a handle, and has a flower carved on the back.

"Where did you find it?"

"I dug it behind the ruined temple." Baozi said.

The ruined temple is the small temple where the God of Agriculture lives. Because it has not been worshiped for a long time, few people in the town know its original name.

Broken temples and broken bronze mirrors, isn't this a commonly used plot in books about discovering unknown treasures? People listening to the book immediately gathered around.

"Let me take a look." Li Zheng was the closest and grabbed it.

"Give it to me, this is mine." Baozi reached out to take it back, but Li Zheng was already surrounded by everyone.

"Take a look at the five cents." Baozi retreated and asked for the next best thing.

Everyone ignored him and looked at the mirror. Apart from the patina, there was nothing unusual about it.

As for illuminating people, it is covered with a layer of green patina, and not a single shadow of a ghost can be illuminated.

"This is definitely not the case." Uncle Shi said, "I used to have this bronze mirror at home."

Aunt Ma said: "I also had one, but I lost it later."

"Maybe this is the one you lost," Li Zheng said.

"Nonsense." Baozi said outside.

"If you ask me, if there is such a mirror in this town, Xiao Yu'er's mirror is the one that looks most like it." Aunt Ma said.

"Yes, yes, that mirror is as big as the palm of your hand and has dragons and phoenixes carved on it. It's so beautiful." Uncle Shi also remembered it.

"When Xiao Yu'er arrested Zhou, his mother put the mirror on the table, and Xiao Yu'er grabbed it right away." Aunt Ma said that she was by her side when Yu Sheng arrested Zhou.

"Even after seeing what he looked like, he was so frightened that he threw him out and started crying. He stopped arresting Zhou. Aunt Qing hugged him and refused to let go."

Aunt Ma looked at Aunt Qing and remembered what happened in the past.

He was embarrassed for the rest of his life. Like a normal baby, his memory before the age of three was very vague, so he naturally couldn't remember such an embarrassing thing happening.

"Is there anything else like this?" Yu Sheng looked at Aunt Qing and she lowered her head, "I don't remember it."

"Yes, yes, your mother was so happy that she couldn't straighten her back." Li Zheng also remembered.

Yu Sheng asked Aunt Qing, "Is your sister cheating on her son like this?"

"Isn't your mother the same?"

I was speechless for the rest of my life, when I heard Aunt Ma say: "By the way, where's your mother's mirror? You didn't break it, did you?"

"Why should I throw it?" Yu Sheng said.

"Whenever you get naughty, your mother will ask you to look in the mirror, and you will fall down and cry as soon as you look in the mirror. I don't know how many times." Li Zheng said, "This trick is very effective. It will last longer than beating."

"I guess the old man threw him into the water." Yu Sheng said, this mother is too cheating on her son.

Aunt Ma sighed and said, "It's okay to put it in the water. Your mother likes that mirror the most. She can take a picture of it when she has nothing to do."

"Haha." Baozi laughed at this time, "Brother Sheng was so frightened that he cried."

Yu Sheng said angrily: "Call me uncle, you called me brother."

Baozi made a face and snatched the bronze mirror from Li Zheng's hand, "When I remove the patina, you will be envious of me."

He climbed onto the long table and said, "Brother Sheng, bring me a dish of vinegar."

Yu Sheng refused, "Go back and soak."

"They are both stingy and stubborn, so they definitely won't let go of their jealousy," Baozi said.

"Who's stubborn?" Baozi's father just walked in and grabbed his ear.

"My mother." Baozi said hurriedly.

"It's true, but your mother must be willing to let go of her jealousy." Baozi's father let go and took the bronze mirror to look at it.

"After all, this thing is polished and polished. Only she can use it."
