13. Chapter 13
"This skill of mine originated from the ancient Shennong clan and was for the plague gate. The so-called ritual plague is the use of incense to remove the epidemic and avoid filth and sacrifice meaning, which has been passed down to this day and has a history of 5,000 years. ”
After bathing in incense, and leading Ru Hui to solemnly worship the portrait of Shennong's family, Mama Qin's solemn expression began to be closed, explaining the origin of her sect for the newly accepted little disciples.
"Five thousand years!"
No matter how calm Ru Hui was, her mouth couldn't help but open into an O-shape at this time.
Hearing Ru Hui's exclamation, it was Mama Qin, who had experienced a lot of worldly affairs, and her gentle and amiable round face couldn't help but show pride and exclamation.
"Five thousand years, how many dynasties have changed, how many wars and plagues, and countless times have passed, time has been tormented, the door of the plague has been cut off several times, and again and again from scratch, relying on the secret records of predecessors, struggling to survive to this day. From the beginning of the epidemic and the sacrifice to the gods, it has now spread to every corner of life: food, decoration, beauty, ...... Spices are indispensable in everyone's life. ”
"Today's plague gate, each generation is only allowed to have one inheritance disciple, the inheritance disciple can not rely on what he has learned to reach the world, must hide the world, the only responsibility is to undertake the inheritance of the plague door, not to cut it off, therefore, when choosing a disciple, the person who is loyal, innocent, and dispassionate is the first choice, and then he will choose the highest intelligence, and finally, it is the sensitive sense of smell. ”
Speaking of this, Mama Qin looked at Ru Hui who was sitting at the bottom with great satisfaction: "You are lazy by nature, and you may be a disadvantage elsewhere, but you are the first choice for me to worship the plague; ”
Ru Hui looked at Mama Qin a little stunned: "Mama has already found out?"
Mama Qin's face showed a slight smug look: "What did you find? Do you deliberately practice the rules that you can pass once, and only then do you want to show a surprise that you can achieve my requirements after working hard? Or do you clearly understand the various family lines and in-laws I said, but you want Mama to say it twice more, and only stop when you say it dry?"
Ru Hui was silent, for a long time, she raised her hands, covered her face tightly, and then lowered her voice and screamed.
"I thought I was successful in covering it up, and it turned out to be ......"
Looking at Ru Hui, who thought she had a plan, but was completely shocked by the joke and looked like a cat who had stolen a small dried fish, Mama Qin laughed heartily.
The little girl is too tender, I really think that Mama is dizzy with her old eyes, and I don't want to think about it, although she is in her forties and nearly fifty, but she is not dazzled, deaf, and her spirit is good.
Under the eaves outside the hall, Xun Dong, who had never heard Mama Qin's laughter so loudly, kept doing the needlework that the girl was going to use, and at the same time had a rare curiosity, and wanted to know what kind of skills Mama Qin needed to drive herself out and guard the door to teach the girl, and what the girl did to make Mama so happy.
The time spent studying is short and long.
Short, due to lack of time.
Long, hard time is always infinitely stretched in consciousness.
Because all the cover-ups were completely seen through by Mama Qin, Ru Hui simply broke the jar and broke it, no longer hiding her talent in this life, so in the days after this day, Mama Qin also lived in pain and happiness.
No matter what it is, as long as Ru Hui understands, she doesn't have to worry about her forgetting it, she has prepared her homework for a month, and Ru Hui, who no longer retains her strength, completed it in just two days, so the rest of the time, Mama Qin used it to let Ru Hui memorize the classics.
Ru Hui didn't know how Mama and her old man hid a sect's allusions in the Baylor Mansion, and she didn't know what Mama's psychology was when she burned the books with her own hands after she was sure that she had memorized them word for word...... She thought that this state would continue until Mama Qin stuffed all the various allusions of the Plague Gate into her head.
In fact, when she was only memorizing half of the books prescribed by her grandmother, something happened about her.
It happened so fast that when Ru Hui opened her eyes in the dimly lit dungeon, she thought she was dreaming.
One moment, she was still reading in the garden of the Ann Yuan, and the next moment her neck hurt, and then her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness, and when she opened her eyes again, it was this dark and narrow dungeon.
Ru Hui was stunned for a while, she got up from the ground, in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, she was still wearing a thin jacket at this time, and the jacket was done well, so even if she was in a dark dungeon at this time, she didn't feel cold, just a little hungry, and she didn't know how long she had been locked up.
With a slight movement of her hands and feet, Ru Hui sat down in the pile of wheat orange stalks in the corner, leaning on the wheat orange stalks, Ru Hui, who had nothing to do, simply reviewed some of the palace spice recipes that she had memorized before.
Princess Shouyang plum blossom incense, Lady Stamen Yaxiang, Han Jianning palace incense...... It was just rote memorization before, but now Ru Hui, who has nothing to do, began to seriously figure out the ratio, principle, function, and fragrance of these spices, until a vicious old woman with eyebrows so faint that she could barely see it, but with a pair of triangular eyes, opened a one-meter-sized wooden cover on top of the dungeon, and put down a bowl of water and a fist-sized nest head with a hanging basket.
"Are you going to keep me locked up?"
After Ru Hui took out the two bowls in the basket, she looked up at the old woman who had few eyebrows.
"Honestly wait, there will always be a time for you to go out. The old woman pulled up the hanging basket, looked at the face that all women dreamed of looking up at with vicious eyes, and sinisterly pulled the thin skin of her mouth, and without waiting for Ru Hui to ask again, she snapped and closed the wooden cover.
Sighing, Ru Hui sat back on the wheat orange stalk pile with water and wowotou, and was stunned for a while, guessing who was the person who was about her, and thinking about what the scene of Baylor's Mansion was when she lost herself, thinking that if she couldn't find herself, the fourth elder brother couldn't explain to her father when she couldn't help but be happy.
As for the bowl of water and the nest head, Ru Hui naturally did not touch it, and poured it directly into the space, and she herself took the food that was placed in the small cave, and ate it as usual without being affected at all, and at the end, she drank another sip of spiritual spring water, feeling that her spirit was restored to the best state, so she nested there again to figure out what she had learned, not at all in a hurry, as if this was not a dungeon, and the place where she sat was not a pile of wheat and orange poles, but still lying on the comfortable soft couch of the Anyuan.
……
Ru Hui disappeared for half an hour, and Gao Beyong got the news.
"What did you say?" Gao Beyong stared at the sweaty little eunuch: "Miss Ru of the Anyuan is gone?
Under Gao Beyong's cold and cold gaze, the sweat on the little eunuch's head rose faster, he trembled, and stammered to explain the situation again: "Mama Qin and Miss Xundong searched the entire courtyard, but they didn't find Miss Ru, but they found the body of the janitor's mother-in-law in the most remote part of the courtyard. Mama Qin immediately asked the little one to report to the manager. ”
