Chapter 138: The Goddess, the Ghost Master, and the Nineteen Demons
Everyone looked at each other, didn't make Ke Jiu embarrassed, and quit one after another, Zhifeng was about to follow the swing and walk away, but he didn't want to be pulled by Lord Assassin Shi, "Zhigongzi and don't stay away, I'm afraid this trip to Miao Jiang is far more complicated than you expected, I'm afraid I'll have to discuss with Gongzi for a while..."
Zhifeng nodded yes, Ke Jiu Bedu was obviously showing favor to himself, and the more exaggerated he said, the greater the favor he received afterwards. Since Lord Thorn Shi said so, it is not easy for the young master to turn his head and find a place to sleep, so he can only drag Cui Niang to watch the wind and moon in the courtyard and count the stars.
The person went to the empty house, "My lord, please look!" The man who reported the news handed over a booklet, Ke Jiu Bedu looked at it carefully, kept turning the folded pages, and his face became more and more gloomy.
This turned out to be a roster, which is a list of people in layman's terms.
"What does this mean?" Ke Jiu Bedu frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Hui, that is, those who are packed in cloth bags, names, races."
Ke Jiu Bedu walked back and forth in the house twice, "Have you ever tried to judge the name of the hall?" ”
"There isn't much useful news, these guys don't seem to be very clear, but two guys have shouted 'Hall of Commandments', 'Hundred People and Hundred Tribes' and 'Candle Nine Yin' in their sleep..."
When Lord Shi heard this, he was instantly frightened by the decisive drops. This matter is precepted from the palace and came in, he already knew about it a few days ago, and even if Candle Jiuyin showed his face at the mouth of 'Zhaoyoudu', it was not a big deal, and the organization was awesome, and people could stop them wherever they wanted to go.
But the 'Hundred People and Hundred Tribes Sacrifice' is a bit instigated by Lord Thorn Shi, a hundred living people of different races, get Miao Jiang, what kind of 'sacrifice', I wipe, I am the nominal chief official of one acre and three points of land here, if the responsibility is held back to his head, who can stand it.
The most important thing is that Gan Hafei wants to get them to Miao Jiang before the Miao Year ceremony? Where can you not sacrifice, the air here is good, or is it manure fertilizer? There are people everywhere during the Chinese New Year, so don't panic.
Ke Jiu Bedu thought about it for a long time and still didn't figure out a reason, so he could only sigh in his heart, it has been really an eventful time recently, and my year is not good!
Ten months ago, the Qinghai Ting family sailed a big ship and found Ke Jiu Bedu saying that he was willing to help the Dragon Clan mine the Qingming Ancient Jade Deposit, and jointly open up a sales channel for transportation to a foreign country.
To say that Ke Jiu Bedu, as the assassin of Qiong Yao's detention state, and the second patriarch of the clan, cooperated with outsiders to build an economic and political consortium or something, it was originally within his purview. Coupled with the mining of ancient jade, you don't have to think about the profit bonus, it is a bargain outward. Ke Jiu Bedu old man simply had a little more heart, Zheng Shishi, who stayed in charge of the court, lived in the Assassin Mansion, and did not fully explain the other party's intentions with his own people, but just found some reasons to prevaricate, as for Nanmu Chaotang, he selectively ignored it.
As a result, Zheng Shishi and Ke Jiubedu held various summits on how to establish an all-round, interactive and modern bilateral economic and trade partnership, how to distribute income and benefits, and held various summits for several days, but in the end there was no unanimous opinion.
The Ting family meant to monopolize all the sales channels of Qingming Ancient Jade, but the old man naturally couldn't agree, and he didn't have that power. On the other hand, Ke Jiu Bedu set his sights on the big ship of the Ting family, thinking about getting the various construction techniques of such an awesome ship, but could Zheng Shishi agree, so everyone began to pull the skin day by sentence for almost a month.
Ke Jiu is not in a hurry, and Mr. Zheng is not busy, so the two sides are simply consumed.
I never thought that on the night of the 'Zhaoyoudu' incident, Mr. Zheng made a showdown with Ke Jiubedu, the right to sell ancient jade can be given up half, and the ship construction technology is willing to be shared with each other, and there is only one condition, to know Feng!
In the eyes of the old man, a half-sized son who will be two inches taller than a urinal, is not the heir of a prince or a nobleman, and the Qinghaiting family can spend such a large amount of money just to get a person?
Something was abnormal, Ke Jiu Bedu didn't agree immediately, thinking about seeing Zhifeng first and then watching, but this time they met, but there was a shovel of Zhifeng's treatment of his own children. After receiving the great kindness of the young master, and then handing over the family to the Ting family, the old man of the assassination history will never be able to do such an unpopular pickled thing, that, although we are a minority, we are higher than you Han people.
The Qinghaiting family came to fool our dragon clan, and Zhifeng, who represented the power of the Duan family of the Nanmu Dynasty, wanted to get rid of our Nine Heavens Youlan, and now they have made a precept hall candle Jiuyin, what kind of 'Hundred People and Hundred Clans' are going to be held here, Ke Jiu Bedu thought about it so much that his head was about to explode, and his heart was anxious.
"Go, call Zhigongzi in," Ke Jiu Bedu ordered, but he didn't think much about why he wanted Zhifeng to come in, what to say to himself when he came in, and what to say to himself. Anyway, the old man actually felt that Zhifeng's kid was not simple, and he had a kind of inexplicable and unexplained rush in his heart to talk to Zhifeng.
The difficulty of people's hearts may be because Zhifeng rescued his own children, Ke Jiu did not see Young Master Zhi as his own person in one day. This is not difficult to understand, most of the human nature of the Celestial Empire is good, and it is more customary to befriend each other than to make enemies with others. For example, even if you don't usually look at a certain children's shoes, and suddenly give you a cup of hot water and a box of good medicine when you have a headache and fever, then what, it is estimated that the illness is not good, and you should call others brothers.
The kindness of sending charcoal in the snow is remembered by most people in the world.
Assassin Shi called, and the young master naturally hurriedly returned to the house and listened to Uncle Ke Jiu Bedu tell the story of the past twenty days.
Before the old man could selectively explain the ins and outs thoroughly, suddenly another person came to report, "The goddess asks to see!" ”
***
At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the Ninghou Mansion of Chengzu County, Dazhi State, Ninghou Jian Xiaotian looked at the emergency report in his hand and his brows were twisted into a rope, and his face was full of sadness.
"Third brother," Ning Hou said to the black-clothed old man beside him, "'Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, Nineteen Human Demons' have appeared in Chengzu County, what do you think of this matter?" ”
"It is rumored that the Ring Hall sent a group of good hands into the world, and Candle Jiuyin went to Nanmu Miaojiang, but these nineteen old devils came to Dazhi, and there must be something strange in them." Qi Suan thought for a while, "A few months ago, when Mr. Nian Yong left, did Master Hou remember it?" ”
"What does the third brother mean?"
"It's what Mr. said at that time, 'Dazhi will have a lot of changes next year, and the direction will fall in the north'..."
"North? There will be trouble for Brother Wang... However, it is said that Brother Wang's health seems to be better than in previous years, who should be responsible for this disaster? ”
The ruler's face fell, "It doesn't have to be a person, maybe it's a thing, a big thing!" ”
"The third brother is saying... Prince? ”
"However, if what I expected is correct, it will be a dispute between the princes!"
He sneered a few times while brushing his beard, "Don't forget, the king of the West Palace has been sent to the Western Regions since she was a child, and she has been there for ten years!" ”
***
Turning his gaze back to Qiongyu County, Nanmu Miaojiang, in an inconspicuous secluded courtyard, one of the five 'ghost masters' in Miaojiang, the leader of the ghost master of the snake clan, Fei Yitian, was sitting among several hardcore cronies at the moment, with a solemn expression, and the tea on the desk had been drunk, poured and drunk, and changed many times.
"Master Fei, if you want me to say, this time it is feasible to cooperate with the Ting family to plot the Qingming Ancient Jade Mine!"
The one who spoke was a sturdy man in his thirties, and he was also one of the only two of the seven or eight people in the room who were not dressed as Miao ghost masters.
"Nonsense, you want you to say? Whose Lord have you done? Fei Yantian snorted coldly and glared at the man, "My ghost master is in the lineage, limited to the clan rules, passed down for a hundred years, and there are only a dozen people in each generation, and it is true that the status in the Wulong clan is not low, but it is really weak!" ”
"The goddess is not the only one in each generation!" The man was still unconvinced.
"What do you know, the goddess is a fairy girl, and the high priest sacrifices to the 'good god' are all characters who enjoy the love of the clan, and our ghost masters, driving away the 'evil ghosts' between heaven and earth, is the way to go through the yin, although they are respected, but most of the clansmen are only in awe, and even more estranged, not to mention support. To say that there are not no forces like us, but above me, there are also high priests, patriarchs, goddesses, and assassins, not to mention the development and sale of Qingming ancient jade deposits, which are not within my jurisdiction, and it is extremely difficult to interfere! ”
"Do you just give up the opportunity to cooperate with the Qinghai Ting family?" A low old man dressed as a ghost master asked.
"Give up? No way! Fei Yantian's eyes stood up, and he said hatefully, "A hundred years ago, there was no distinction between priests and wizards, let alone priests and ghost masters. My dragon clan is in the same lineage, worships heaven and earth and nature, and seeks the well-being of the people, there is only one kind of person who can do it, and that is our ghost master! It's just that since the sages led everyone out of the wilderness and into the world, and the clansmen began to believe in the Nine Heavenly Monarchs, everything has changed. The three positions of high priest, goddess, and ghost master stand side by side, and we are the most hard-working but the lowest status, so why is my ghost master calm? (Note)
Fei Yantian looked around, "The origin of the Qingming Ancient Jade Deposit and the Ghost Master, could it be that you have forgotten it?" 'Qingming ancient jade is full of heaven and earth, and the three saints are one ghost walking alone! This word of mouth, Wu Fei is tired of the sky and dare not forget it for a moment! ”
After drinking the last sip of tea in the cup, Fei Yitian wiped his mouth and gritted his teeth, "You may not know that cooperating with the Qinghai Ting family is not such a simple matter as profit dividends!" Do you know what they want most from our dragons? ”
"Could it be that there is a reason for more importance and temptation than such a huge profit?"
Hearing someone ask like this, Fei Yantian nodded, "The Ting family, what you want is Da Zhiguo Chengfeng Lang and Imperial Insult Captain Zhifeng!" ”
A few people under the 'Ghost Master' obviously knew where the son came from and where he was now, and their faces couldn't help but be a little dignified, this is not a dish that can be handled casually by one side!
"Okay, I'll mention it later, but our first task is to put more of our men in the ancient jade mine, and it has to be tonight, hehe, I think that the Shiwu sergeant on duty in the mine can only encounter a little trouble!"
Note: The Miao people do have fairy girls, the ghost master's statement, in a general sense, belongs to the wizard, the Miao people worship all kinds of totems in the natural world between heaven and earth, this book is just an arrangement with the gimmick of the Nine Shadows Heavenly Monarch, don't be entangled.
In addition, the fairy and the ghost master are actually the characters who communicate with the ghosts and gods, especially for the common people to pray for illness or to soothe and fright, the saying of 'walking yin' and 'bar fairy niang' does exist, they are all the ways of wizards and the gods to communicate in the underworld, and the people who 'walk in the yin' can't 'sacrifice ghosts' are also drops, used in novels, they will definitely exaggerate and add their own elements, I will try to write better for everyone!
Weakly ask, if you read these dozen chapters in a row, can you guess what interesting and thrilling things will happen at the Miao Year Ceremony in addition to the villains from all sides abusing pig's feet?
