Chapter 186: Broken
Hongchen raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Wei Ren sighed softly: "Now that jade statue has never been successfully placed, I really don't want my father-in-law to be disappointed, but Wei really can't do anything, and I hope that the county lord will be merciful and help." β
Hongchen said casually: "Qu Lingshi didn't succeed? I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to intervene, wouldn't it be a loss of face for other people's Qu Wu! β
Wei Ren thought about it when he thought about it, and he found other spirit masters to intervene, and it seemed that he had a little bit of the intention of eliminating the county lord, so he could only smile bitterly, begging hard, where was the original arrogance.
Luo Niang and the others were all amused, and Hongchen also had a lot of fun, so they nodded in response, but they didn't go now, they had to be ready.
Wei Ren was in a hurry, he was begging for someone now, and he didn't dare to force Hongchen, so he had to say goodbye honestly, but he turned around and sent a bunch of gifts, including the 'full bed wat' that he bullied other hawkers and didn't let people sell at the beginning.
Xue Baiqiao soon got the news, and he was also speechless.
He now understands that the county lord of Rong'an belongs to the legendary person with great luck, and what happened to her, bad things can also become good things, but if he offends her, he will have to return it one day.
Once again, I came to the Invitation Pavilion.
Ascending to the third floor and seeing that jade statue, Hongchen couldn't help frowning.
Wei Ren's eyes were red, his eyes were black, he had not slept for two days and nights, and the corners of his eyes did not dare to fall.
During this time, the jade statue has undergone even greater changes, becoming a little childlike, with a strange and terrifying face, and it actually reflects the entire floor in an eerie manner.
Liu Hong's eunuchs who were going to be prisoners were going crazy.
It's not going to be good. They are desperately punished, and they have to replace the jade statue with an ordinary green jade statue, so that the Long Live Lord is dissatisfied, it is better than letting the Long Live Lord be frightened when he sees this scene, if they really dare to scare the emperor, they have to be cut by a thousand knives.
"Lord Rong'an, let's see if you can open the light or something, so let it recover."
Wei Ren's face turned blue and he said softly.
Hongchen glanced at him. Shaking his head: "I don't do this kind of thing." If the jade statue is consecrated alone, it is true that it can return to normal, but under the backlash of the aura, other jade statues may have problems. You can't do it for this one. It made all the jade statues uneasy. β
Seeing Wei Ren's face confused. Hongchen said: "The Invitation Heaven Pavilion is a built house, and the jade statue here is the person who lives here. If someone is inexplicable and doesn't say hello, and casually changes the feng shui of the house to suit another outsider, you say, can they be happy? β
The corners of Wei Ren's mouth moved, and after all, he couldn't say what I didn't care about others.
Those who can be invited to the Heavenly Pavilion must be important ministers, whether they are deceased or still alive, they have children and grandchildren, he has worked hard for his father-in-law, and the descendants of others will not be willing to be wronged by their own parents.
But...... Wei Ren smiled bitterly: "Can't you really have the best of both worlds?" In fact, consecrating my father-in-law's jade statue will not necessarily affect others, they have all made great contributions to my Great Zhou, and they are both officials, maybe they have a good relationship, can you understand? β
When he said this, he was quite relieved, and before Hongchen could speak, he saw a sound of footsteps below.
When the two turned around, they saw Wei Ren's two hundred and five younger brother Wei Yi leading the way with a courteous face, and Qu Wu was behind him.
As soon as Wei Yi came up and saw Hongchen, he was immediately angry, feeling that his mouth and lower abdomen hurt, and he was indignant in his heart, remembering that he had been beaten and scolded by his eldest brother these days, and was forced to kneel, he couldn't wait to tear Hongchen apart.
But right now, he can only salute with a smile, but he deliberately scolds in a low voice: "What is it, pretending, really thinking of yourself as an immortal, there are so many spirit masters in the world, and there is no shortage of you, why is the eldest brother still fooled?" There is a master of qu, what do you need her! β
The more this guy talks, the more unseemly it becomes.
The corners of Wei Ren's mouth twitched, and he became angry: "The second master's illness is not good, why did he come out, come on, help him down to rest." β
Immediately, there were two little guys, covering their mouths and pulling their arms, and they forcibly wanted to drag people away, even if Wei Yi's eyes were red with anger, and his brother looked like he was blowing his beard and glaring at him, he didn't dare to mess around with his eldest brother, but he hated Hongchen even more.
Wei Ren sighed, he really had to discipline and discipline this bastard in the future, and just now he was going to take the opportunity to let his younger brother accompany the county lord of other people's families, but now it seems that it is better to stay away and save the eyes of others.
Hongchen's mind was not on him at all, this was the first time she had really come face to face with Qu Wu.
At first glance, Hongchen was amazed in her heart, no matter what the person's appearance and temperament were, but the aura of this body is indeed rare, it can be said that although she has not officially seen this person, she has been friends for a long time.
Qu Wu also narrowed his eyes.
She has never looked at anyone in her eyesight, let alone her peers, and when she saw Hongchen at this time, she was still cold and indifferent, even if Wei Ren introduced it, she focused on the jade statue with a little head, and said coldly: "I failed last time, this time I ask my father, uncle, there is a solution, try again." β
Wei Ren was overjoyed in his heart, nodded again and again, and only remembered Hongchen after nodding, he couldn't help but glance at her, his lips moved slightly, and he closed his mouth.
Hongchen shrugged and stood to the side, not in the slightest intention of hindering.
Wei Ren has a straight temperament, although he has a grudge with Hongchen, and Hongchen looks like he wants him to quickly replace the jade statue with an ordinary one without delay, which is very unpleasant, but he is not the kind of person who will anger others at will.
At least not necessarily, no.
Of course, now that Qu Wu Qu Ling Master is sure to try again, he still prefers Qu Ling Master to succeed.
As for whether it will have an impact on other people's jade statues, then it will be better to calculate, now this pass can't be passed, he will be unlucky soon, if he is safe, if other jade statues are uneasy, he will also have a way to come to the spirit master.
Hongchen stood aside, watched Qu Wu slowly walk in front of the jade statue, looked at it carefully, and reached out to touch it.
She is a spirit master, it is impossible not to know that she should not touch it at will when she encounters such a strangeness, maybe it is because of the courage of the artist, she is not afraid at all.
Wei Ren was so frightened that he trembled.
Hongchen smiled unconsciouslyβQu Wu looked bold. In fact, he wears a thin layer of gloves on his hands, so it is easy to see that there is something unusual, but it must be a good thing.
Qu Wu touched it for a while, then turned his head to look at the little girl who was following her.
The girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, very smart, don't look small, she looked more lively and cheerful than her master, turned around, walked in front of Hongchen and them, and said politely: "This nobleman." My lady consecrated the Buddha statue. I'm afraid there will be a big commotion, and I need to be quiet, so a few people take a few steps back to avoid it. It also saves ...... So as not to get hurt. β
Wei Ren frowned.
Although people say it politely. But there is only one meaning in the words - you stay here and get in the way. Fuck off!
Wei Ren subconsciously looked at Hongchen and pressed it, he was fine, he just wanted to be safe and sound for now. Don't talk about retreating, even kneeling and kowtowing can smooth things out, and he is willing, not for himself, but for his father-in-law and mentor who are as gracious as a mountain, but ...... I only hope that this county lord will not fight with Miss Qu Wu, if the two of them make a big fuss, if they alarm others, then the matter will really make a big fuss!
Hongchen shrugged, didn't say a word, and took ten steps back very casually.
Wei Ren breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned Liu Hong to avoid them, but Qu Wu turned his head sharply and glanced at Hongchen, very surprised-the distance Hongchen withdrew from was exactly the range that she would affect when she cast the spell for a while, and it was exactly the same, but I didn't know if it was the other party's eyesight or coincidence.
Qu Wu also only glanced at it, and then turned his head again, as if all his attention was on the jade statue, and he didn't care about anything else at all.
She was so interested, and so confident, she saw that Wei Ren had a little confidence, and she had already begun to change her mind in her heart, if Qu Wu succeeded this time, he would naturally have to back up and thank him, but the lord of Rong'an is not easy to get along with, and it is not easy to offend, he is rotten in his stomach for this matter, he can't talk nonsense, and he has to teach his precious brother a lesson, and it is best to persuade him to apologize.
After such an experience, Wei Ren didn't dare to underestimate the spirit master.
At this time, Qu Wu gently opened a wooden box he was carrying with him and took out a stack of jade pieces from it, each of which was engraved with incomprehensible characters.
She was very fast, and according to a certain law, she pasted things around the jade statue one by one, extending all the way, just to the foot of Hongchen, and made Wei Ren and Eunuch Liu take a few steps back.
Wei Ren's eyes didn't blink, staring hard, his eyes turned around on those jade pieces, although he was a military general, rough appearance, in fact, he was very good at reading, just look at him as soon as he went to Hongchen, he could see that he was staring at the calligraphy and paintings, and at this time, he was happy to see the hunting, and he didn't recognize the words on the jade tablets, and he couldn't help but itch his hands and wanted to pick up one to see, but just when he was about to move, he made Qu Wu's girl glare, and he came back to his senses.
Hongchen was funny in his heart.
At this time, I found out that this man who had been scolded by Luo Niang and his group of girls several times was not so annoying when he was not drunk.
Wei Ren smiled: "Hey, I remember to open the light for the Dharma weapon, it seems that you need to recite scriptures or something, Taoism and Buddhism are the same, what, look at Master Qu's posture, it's a little different!" β
He remembered that one year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he saw the consecration ceremony of Dayun Temple, where many believers and many eminent monks were very solemn.
The last time Master Qu opened the light, he also called more than 20 people, but today she is the only one, and no one is allowed to approach.
Hongchen frowned and shook his head: "The means are domineering!" β
She recognized the words on the jade talisman as divine scripts, and although there were some omissions, most of them were accurate.
So many jade talismans, arranged according to the five elements and eight trigrams, absorbing the surrounding earth qi, forcefully connecting the jade statue with the underground dragon vein, and it is also very clever and obscure, and it is very appropriate to grasp a degree, this kind of means is not easy to use.
After a few words, Qu Wu had already pasted the jade talisman all over, and suddenly stretched out his hand, shook out a magic robe, and gently put it on.
As soon as she put on the magic robe, her whole person was different, and a compelling momentum came to her face, and she casually raised a magic sword.
The magic sword is not an ordinary wooden sword, but a hundred steels of Kaifeng, and it is an ancient sword, at a glance, it is once used by the emperor and general, and the decoration is luxurious.
Hongchen suddenly said: "The place talisman of the Kun position is wrong. β
Qu Wu squinted, glanced at her, and sneered, "You can recognize the Kun Position Talisman, and you can be regarded as capable." With that, he gently raised the magic sword. Obviously, he didn't listen to Hongchen's words in his ears at all.
That's normal.
Hongchen didn't know, Qu Wu himself knew very well that this set of jade talisman artifacts was a genuine product handed down from the ancestors, and then the people of their family imitated it many times, and some of them also had wonderful uses, but they were far from being as good as the original.
People have used more than ten generations of high-grade magic weapons, and when she looked at it from a distance, she casually said a mistake, and Qu Wu would pay attention to it.
Hongchen was helpless and touched his nose. Take a few steps back lightly. also pulled Luo Niang over.
But she has a talisman on her, so don't worry.
Wei Ren was nervous, and leaned forward sharply, staring closely at the jade statue in front of him.
Now it's on top. It is the only intact jade statue. But the changes are huge. I don't see what's good.
Qu Wu was shocked, his magic sword trembled, and a strange sound came out of his mouth.
In a flash. Everyone felt the movement.
It doesn't seem to be easy to breathe, and I feel like I'm suffocating.
After the construction was completed, some gravel and cloth pieces that had not had time to be cleaned up were rolled up with the wind, whistling, whirling in unison, rushing in the direction of the jade statue, Qu Wu's face showed a bit of hidden pride, although he still had a straight face, a cold face, and the breath of the whole person seemed a little mild.
As the wind became stronger and stronger, Qu Wu suddenly jumped up, and flew into the air with the wind, pointed his long sword, and rushed towards the jade statue with all his strength.
"Ahh
Wei Ren couldn't help but exclaim.
But seeing that Qu Wu's magic sword was retreating at one point, and the jade statue was not damaged in the slightest, he exhaled lightly.
At this time, there was a sudden change in the building.
The whole floor seemed to shake, and it was only a moment, and a golden light appeared on the base of the jade statue, and the golden light was blowing, and all the bad luck was dissipated, and the jade statue also revealed its original color.
Wei Ren was overjoyed and burst into tears: "It's a success, it's a success!" β
Before the words fell, there was a loud buzz, deafening, as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed, Wei Ren fell to the ground with a thud, and smashed a lot of things on his head, and it took a long time to barely raise his head and open his eyes, and at a glance, the whole person was dumbfounded.
A jade statue was gone, and it disappeared out of thin air.
He was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.
Eunuch Liu and the others stood a little farther away, although they were shaky, they could still stabilize their bodies, and said for a while: "...... Shattered! β
It's not broken.
Wei Ren had an extra fragment in his mouth, and spit it out gently, the jade quality was not bad, and it was quite suitable to carve a jade pendant.
He snapped his eyes shut, and two lines of tears flowed down his face.
Qu Wu was also a little panicked, but he regained his composure in an instant, brushed off the dust, sand, and jade fragments on his body, pulled his hair together, and muttered, "What's wrong?" It shouldn't be. β
It was going well just now.
Qu Wu could feel that the surrounding earth qi was condensed, infiltrating into the inside of the jade statue, and integrating the jade statue with the entire Inviting Heaven Pavilion was already about to succeed, who would have thought that it would turn his head empty.
She suddenly frowned: "No, I'm going to try again, hey, bring another jade statue over." β
Liu Hong: "......"
Wei Ren's mind was buzzing, and he couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
The craftsmen were all drooping their heads, and they were weak.
"Where are there serious jade statues, the rest are carved with this kind of green jade, all of which were made when I practiced before, and I will never be able to find them on the side."
Liu Hong sank down instead.
The matter has come to this point, it is normal for them to be scolded and punished, but fortunately, Long Live Lord should not ask for their lives for this matter!
Now he hopes that the matter will be bigger, so that the palace people will know that this matter is not the responsibility of the prisoner.
The jade was personally selected by General Guo, not by them, and now it is too late to carve another jade statue if you want to replace it with something else, unless General Guo goes to ask His Majesty to extend, but even if it is postponed, there is no guarantee that there will be no problem with the next one.
When Qu Wu saw that the jade statue was gone, he was a little annoyed, and frowned: "The last time the statue was only a little broken, it doesn't matter, use it!" β
The group of people below looked at each other.
Wei Ren was flustered in his heart, somewhat hating Qu Wu, who didn't take the Guo family's affairs seriously to heart, but more like honing his skills, but he didn't want to offend this person too much, so he didn't say anything strange, just sighed with a decadent face: "That's it, that's it, it's all fate, since that's the case, you can only use the statue of Qingyu." β
Liu Hong also sighed and instructed people to change the jade statue by hand.
This change is ordinary. There was no further incident.
It's just that the room full of white jade statues, all different, all very distinctive, and most importantly, lifelike, all magic weapons. The statue of the green jade was placed there, and it looked like a stubborn stone.
The only benefit, maybe the Lord of Long Live led the hundred officials in, and directly treated it as a rotten stone, and he didn't notice it at all, maybe the person who would be the prisoner would be exempted from punishment!
It's a joke. But there is some truth to that. A good green jade statue, placed in such a large piece outside, is worth a little silver, at least more than a stone statue. But here it is. All of a sudden, it became useless garbage.
Wei Ren wanted to cry without tears.
Liu Hong was also a little unbearable in his heart. can only say: "This piece of green jade is the most transparent, and the carving is also very good, which can be regarded as carefully selected." It's not bad either. β
These are purely words of relief.
Everyone in this room was so worried that their hair was gray, Hongchen looked around, and suddenly smiled slightly: "Actually, if Master Qu is willing to borrow me two Shenwen jade tablets for use, let me open a light for the old man's green jade statue and generate an aura, maybe it can be more compatible with the current environment." β
Wei Ren raised his head suddenly: "Really? β
Hongchen shrugged: "It depends on whether Master Qu is willing to borrow it temporarily." β
Wei Ren immediately turned his gaze to Qu Wu, his gaze was extremely earnest, if this statue could generate an aura and transform into a magic weapon, it would not be very bad.
The most important thing about the magic weapon is not the material, but the aura, as long as its aura is not much worse than other statues, it can be seen very well, no matter what, it is better than now.
Qu Wu frowned, as if she hadn't heard it, Wei Ren had to say the words of borrowing two jade talismans again, and she looked at Hongchen coldly, with a strange gaze: "If you are not afraid of death, even if you are, but even our Qu family is not all able to use this thing, in the early years, there were others who were not afraid of death and wanted to try it, eight and a half out of ten lost half of their lives for this, if you want to use it, just take it, and bear the consequences." β
Wei Ren originally reached out to touch the jade talisman, but at this time, he was frightened, and stood on the spot: "County Lord!?" β
The county lord is not an ordinary spirit master, an ordinary spirit master casts spells and devours something, and he blames himself for his poor ability when he is injured and dies, but this is the county lord of Rong'an, the best among the upstarts in the capital, where do you dare to ignore it so lightly?
Hongchen thanked him softly, walked over and picked and picked, and picked up two pieces of jade talismans to take a look, and was very satisfied.
"Good quality!"
Qu Wu just left a sentence, turned around and left, and asked the little maid beside her as she walked: "Where is there a jade statue in the nearby magic weapon shop?" You need to have good magic weapons. β
The master and servant walked farther and farther, not paying attention to Hongchen at all, and they didn't even remember what they said about her Fu before the failure to open the light just now.
Hongchen didn't pay attention to them here, his whole mind was on the jade statue in front of him, he looked at it carefully, and nodded: "The craftsmanship of the general supervisor is indeed good." β
Wei Ren held his breath and asked softly, "How?" β
"Rest assured, General Guo Lao has made outstanding achievements, he should have this position, and he should be able to succeed." Hongchen smiled and groaned slightly, "However, this jade statue is just a work to try out, and it is still a little rough." β
Liu Hong hurriedly came over and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the best craftsmen are here, and the county lord is the envoy." β
"I'm going to borrow someone from General Wei." Hongchen blinked, thought for a while, and said, "Although the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is good, after all, it is the jade statue of our old general Guo that is refined, and I think it is more appropriate for another person to do it." β
"Who?"
Wei Ren looked confused.
Hongchen smiled: "How did the general forget, the first time we met, the general took the full bed wat ornaments in the hands of other hawkers, I think the general is not a high-flying person, I am afraid that the object should be owned by someone the general knows." β
Wei Ren was stunned, full of black lines: "That's true, that thing was made by my third brother-in-law to make a joke, the children in the family thought it was interesting, and they took it outside to play, but they lost it, and that thing was not good to stay outside." β
Guo Jiaxuan's fame spreads, is it still a good thing?
He deliberately sent someone to find out where his brother-in-law's object was that day, and went to block people, but now he remembered that he was drunk at the time, and he was afraid that he was not very respectful to the county lord, and his face was also blushing, and he hurriedly said: "What does the monarch mean, let my third brother-in-law come over?" β
Hongchen nodded.
Wei Ren was a little embarrassed for a while: "But my third brother-in-law just likes to carve, and occasionally carves something to play." β
Hongchen smiled lightly: "I look at that person's craftsmanship, but he is very unpredictable, and besides, since it is the statue of General Guo, of course, I have to find someone who is very familiar with his old man to try, even if Master Yan's paintings are expressive, after all, they are not real people, that **** is by the old general's side, and he knows his old man's words and deeds very well, so it is perfect to help me do this errand." (To be continued.) )
PS: Take a look at the previous chapter, there are changes!!
