Chapter 264: Idol of God
The middle-aged man turned to the children and said, "If you don't hear it, don't go quickly, the pigs won't be full, so I won't teach you." β
"Yes. They hurriedly laid down their bows and arrows and scattered in all directions. For children who have not yet grown up, this is not a punishment, but a reward for lazy play.
Wu Ma asked curiously, "You taught them archery?"
"Exactly. The middle-aged man put down his bow and arrow and talked to Wu Ma Xin, "In Xia Jia Qiang, he is the teacher who is responsible for teaching archery. β
"They all have to learn archery?"
"Naturally, there are orders in the calendar, but all men and women, both men and women, must learn etiquette, literacy and archery, so that we have this line. β
Wu Ma couldn't help but sigh in his heart, compared with Shenzhou, the children of Duanguo were indeed too reckless and wasted a lot of time. He continued, "Is there anything esoteric about this archery?"
"It's not profound. Jia Qiang said, "There are four types of archery, namely Bai Ya, Shen Lian, Yan Zhu, Xiang Ruler, and Jing Yi. White arrows, requiring accurate and powerful arrows, arrows through the target and the arrows white; Participate in the connection, require to put one arrow first, and then put three arrows in a row, if the arrows are connected with beads; εNote, it is said that the arrow is sick, the aiming time is short, the arrow is released, and the target is hit; Jingyi, for the four arrows are coherent, all must be in the target; Xiang ruler, but it is not a skill, can only be regarded as etiquette, the minister and the king shoot, must let the king retreat one foot. β
"Oh, oh. Wu Ma was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect archery to have such a great knowledge, it seems that his knowledge is indeed limited.
Jia Qiang said: "Haven't asked my brother Taizun's surname yet?"
"In the heart of the lower witch horse. β
"Oh?" Jia Qiang looked at it carefully, and then asked cautiously, "Your Excellency is a Wuma prince from Duanguo?"
"Exactly. Wu Ma often wanted to change his name to hide his identity, but in the end he gave up, if the husband didn't change his name or change his surname, why bother.
Jia Qiang looked around at no one, and then said to him: "Wu Ma Gongzi can know the pillars of the knife and scissors shop of the Wu Clan?"
Wu Ma was stunned when he heard this, and quickly nodded: "Naturally, I know." β
"So he is now wanted?"
"Well, I did see the notice just now. β
"Someone has leaked the news that he is hiding from the Congge people, so he has sent officers and soldiers to surround and suppress him, but you can rest assured that he has found a safe place to take refuge from the limelight. β
"You know him, too?"
"Well, I've been obsessed with bows and arrows all my life, especially the transformation of arrows, and the blacksmith shops in Shenzhou are too rough to make what I want. I was introduced to his shop, and my eyes suddenly lit up, and the three-edged arrows, armor-piercing arrows, and crescent arrows in my hands were all from him, and we became inseparable friends. Jia Qiang said, "I have made a small success in archery, so I am often assigned to enter the military camp to teach archery, and I happened to hear about the encirclement and suppression, so I asked a friend Han Wencheng, who is very fast, to rush to him, and it was always too late." β
"What about the others?"
"Alas, the people of the Yanshang tribe and the Congge tribe have been arrested. Jia Qiang said regretfully, "Those officers and soldiers got the information from somewhere, and they directly found the cellar in the backyard." β
"What will happen to them?"
"It is said that they will be escorted to Yangzhai, as if they are going to hold some kind of sacrificial ceremony. β
Wu Ma nodded secretly, finally relieved in his heart, at least they were safe now. Wu Ma Xin said: "Thank you Brother Jia, I'll rush to Yangzhai." β
"Brother Wu Ma doesn't need to be in a hurry. Jia Qiang said, "You can only enter it on a full moon night, and I'm afraid you'll be there too early with your footsteps." β
Wu Ma smiled and said, "It's okay, it's better to be a few days early than not to be in time." β
"Yes, too. β
More than a dozen pigs had eaten and drunk enough, and Wu Ma Xin patted the pig's head and said, "Go for freedom." As if they understood, the pigs ran out into the woods.
Wu Ma Xin hugged his fist to Jia Qiang again and said: "Then I will leave first, and he will meet again in the future." β
"Be careful all the way" Jia Qiang returned the salute with a fist, "Goodbye, goodbye." β
Seeing that Wu Ma Xin's back had completely disappeared, a sneer appeared at the corner of Jia Qiang's mouth. The children picked up bows and arrows from the ground, gathered around them and asked, "Teacher, what are we going to practice next?"
"Needless to ask, didn't you run away with a bunch of pigs just now, this is the best target. Jia Qiang said, "Go and shoot them all, and leave no one behind." β
"Yes. The children drew their bows and arrows and walked into the woods.
Jia Qiang grabbed Tong Chunmiao, who was walking at the end, and said with a wicked smile on his face: "You don't want to go, stay with me." β
"Yes. The girl didn't dare to resist.
"Haha. Jia Qiang smiled, "It's really stupid to stay in Duanguo for a long time, if you want to be free, hmph, then you have to learn to survive first!"
Wu Ma Xin rushed to the northeast day and night, and when he saw the town in the evening, he was already hungry, but fortunately there was no shortage of food in the town, so he found a restaurant to eat and drink, and bought some beef steamed buns and wine to put in his baggage for tomorrow's use. This town is very prosperous, there is an endless stream of businessmen, the larger inns are full, the farmers see the business opportunities, so they take out their own rooms to make some extra money, the price is cheap, the conditions are naturally much worse, but for Wu Ma Xin it doesn't matter, just stay for one night, there is enough to have a place to stay.
The sound insulation of the house was not good, and the speech next door could be heard clearly, but Wu Ma was so tired that he fell asleep instantly on the musty buckwheat husk pillow. But in the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up, the next door was praying, and he heard the sound of "buzzing" in his ears, although he couldn't hear clearly, he could know that they were talking, and he kept talking. The witch horse's heart was so strong that a small hole appeared in the adobe wall, and he could see and hear the sound inside.
Every house in Shenzhou enshrines a wooden statue of Nuwa Niangniang, who worships every day, believing that as long as she is pious in her heart, she will manifest her spirit, not only speak, but even walk down the altar. At this moment, a man and a woman are kneeling in front of the idol and praying: "Great Nuwa Niangniang, you have activated all things to rejuvenate, you have ruled the growth of all things, given me life, blessed me with good health, and all the people of the world will obey your will." You woke us up from a dream, and we don't know what happened?
Presumably this is what they had been saying just now, but looking at the wooden statue did not seem to react, how could it be said that she had woken them up from their dreams?
The two of them kowtowed and bled out, and suddenly a faint sentence came from behind them: "You are still religious." This sentence frightened the two of them, but they didn't dare to look back, and still kowtowed vigorously to the idol, making a "knock" sound.
Wu Ma Xin was also taken aback, there are people everywhere who worship gods and ghosts, but they have not heard of the real manifestation of the spirit. Why did this Nuwa in front of him look a little familiar, he thought hard, ah, it turned out to be Mu Yangting, no wonder the idols are all wooden.
This is not a god, but a man, and a demon.
"Okay, no more kowtowing. Mu Yangting said faintly, "I created this world as solid as gold, but after all, I can't resist the demon taking advantage of the void, now this demon is in front of you, only by killing him, you can drive away the disaster and take refuge, and enjoy peace forever." β
"Obey the mother's will. The man boldly asked, "Where is the demon now?"
"Sleep in your side room. Mu Yangting said and looked at the wall, her eyes were paired, and Wu Maxin gasped in fright. She was still so beautiful, but she was as cold as ice, and she disappeared in an instant.
The landlord and his wife stood up, their foreheads covered with blood, and they looked very scary. They fumbled to pick up their knives, pushed the door open, and walked out.
The demon she said was me? Wu Ma's heart "buzzed".
Wu Ma Xin hurriedly picked up his clothes and was about to rush out of the door, but he heard the sound of something falling, and with a "pop", it turned out to be a red flower bead covered with transparent scales. Wu Ma's heart was stunned for an instant, the things in the dream really appeared on him, could it be that it was not a dream? But those people did not come to Shenzhou, could it be also an illusion? If this is the case, then the person who leaked the secret turned out to be ...... That's me. Wu Ma felt like his brain was about to explode. The bead jumped upwards as soon as it touched the soil, and then fell down after hitting the roof, and repeatedly bounced off, the crack in the roof became bigger and bigger, and before the roof was shattered, Wu Ma Xin reacted and reached out to grab the bead. At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and the landlord and his wife rushed in with red eyes. Not wanting to hurt them, Wu Ma turned and jumped down from the window, the door frame behind him being shattered by a wood knife.
When the child is hooked in the clouds, when it is ugly, it is covered with white frost, and it is pitch black outside. Wu Ma Xin had just run into the street, the sound of gongs and drums rang out, the torches illuminated the heavens and the earth as bright as day, and countless villagers poured in from all directions, all of them were cloaked, their faces were covered with blood, and they were holding sickles, shovels and pickaxes, as if they were sleepwalking.
I'll go! What's going on! Wu Ma felt his ass throb for a while, obviously the jade dragon sensed the crisis and wanted to come out.
Wu Ma slapped his ass violently: "You give me a stop, these are the people, you can't hurt them!"
Wu Ma Xin opened his left hand, and a palm pattern flew out of his palm, turning into a light blue transparent python circling around, splashing in all directions. He wanted to use water to disperse these innocent people, so that they could avoid injuries and also sober them up. The water gushed from the dragon's mouth in all directions, and the few people who walked in front were suddenly soaked, and their speed slowed down, but they did not wake up, the red light in their eyes was even stronger, and there were more and more bloodshots, and the whole eyeball became blood red.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and out of nowhere, they pulled out their hats and clothes neatly. The rain crackled on the hat, and the water was blocked by the coat and flowed down the edge.
