Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Strange Woman
When the seven-oared boat approached, the woman's dress surprised Mo Jiuda, only to see this woman with a long belt around her waist, bare breasts, and her face covered with mud, what kind of custom is this?
"Ling'er, why did she paint her face with mud, is this also the custom of the Lantern Festival. If I knew that I also painted my face with mud, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed just now. ”
"Miss, don't talk nonsense. Only when someone important dies in the family will the women smear their faces with mud. ”
"What? And this custom? ”
Mo Jiu looked at Ling'er suspiciously, there were really a lot of new things in the mysterious ancient Egypt that he hadn't heard of.
"When I was very young, I heard my adoptive mother say that in a kingdom with tall pyramids far away in the west, there were many unexpected customs. One of them is about mourning for the deceased, where the women, if someone dies in the house, smear their faces or heads with yellow clay, and then all the women of the family tie their tunics and bare their chests, and leave the house and go around mourning, while the men beat their chests at home to mourn, and when these activities are over, they bury or mummify the dead. ”
"Oh," Mo Jiu looked thoughtfully at the woman on the other side of the boat, no wonder her eyes were a little strange, it turned out that someone had died in the family, but why did she go to such a lively place to mourn, wouldn't it be the custom here.
"By the way, Ling'er, you were also adopted?" Jiu'er looked at Ling'er excitedly, but she didn't expect their experiences to be the same.
"Yes, miss, my adoptive mother is the nurse of Princess Daxia, and then the princess summoned me into the palace to be her maid, unfortunately a few years ago, my adoptive mother took me back to the countryside to visit my grandmother, on the way I met a few barbarians, forcibly pulled me into the carriage, and then the people of the Persian palace bought me from the barbarians with a horse, and then I followed the king of Persia to Macedonia, at that time the king of Macedonia was the old king of Philip, and then the Macedonian palace needed maids, so she left me, and then later..."
"I'll be my maid."
Mo Jiu looked at Ling'er with a wry smile, talking about the past with some sadness, but he didn't expect Ling'er to experience so much at a young age. She is from Daxia, no wonder she always thinks she looks like an Oriental.
"Ling'er, when you meet Miss, your good days will come, and Miss will definitely treat you like a sister." Jiu'er gently took Ling'er's little hand.
"Miss, if Your Majesty's Eastern Crusade arrives in Great Xia, can you allow me to go to my adoptive mother? I don't know if she's alive or ..... now."
"Miss will go with you to find your adoptive mother." Mo Jiu didn't let Ling'er continue, her mood Jiu'er understood very well, because Mo Jiu was also far away from her adoptive mother at this time, and she missed her very much.
Mo Jiu was just chatting with Ling'er, the strange ship was about to leave them unconsciously, a cool breeze rose from his back, Jiu'er shivered, and suddenly his body stiffened - it was an inhuman breath.
No wonder Ling'er said that she didn't see anyone at all, it turned out that the woman on the boat was not a person at all, only Jiu'er could see her, the woman who was smeared with mud turned her head and glanced coldly at Jiu'er who was standing stiffly, and a contemptuous smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
But it was silent and his eyes were silent, which made Mo Jiu's back numb.
Jiu'er eased her mind and straightened out her thoughts, this cold ghost must have something to do with herself, and the person who came was not good, otherwise she wouldn't let Jiu'er see her alone.
But her target is not Jiu'er, otherwise the boat will not pass by, it should be Alexander, Mo Jiu suddenly became alert, His Majesty's boat has sailed in front of the seven-oared boat, Jiu'er has to quickly order the boatman to row towards His Majesty's boat.
Before the gates of heaven were opened, if Alexander died early at this time, he would have become a lonely ghost.
This was said by the "fairy" on the battlefield of Chu and Han, Jiu'er believed every word she said, I don't know if there is a chance to see that fairy again, she will definitely be able to answer the many questions accumulated in these lives for Mo Jiu, unlike the "false godman" in the Temple of Amun, who doesn't know anything about it, and will not throw her to the past life like her mother-in-law.
Mo Jiu's cranky fault was about to go bad, and just after thinking about it for a while, the seven-oared boat had already accelerated and crashed into Alexander's sheepskin raft, the size of which was very different, and the sheepskin raft suddenly flipped to one side.
Fortunately, at the time of the lightning, a white light covered the sheepskin raft, and the boat was set right - it was the white tiger who made a move!
The seven-oared boat froze in place, and the woman on board was also shocked by this scene, and looked straight at Alexander, and suddenly a cluster of light rose from his right hand, and the woman stepped on the bow of the boat, and flew up with a sword to stab Alexander.
Another white light blocked the woman back, and Jiu'er stood beside the sheep's head and looked at the woman with contempt: If you want to kill Alexander, your "god" level is not enough.
The woman looked back at Mo Jiu, smiled weirdly, and left.
Just throw in the towel?
Mo Jiu is still waiting to see a good show.
"Seleucus, do you feel it, it seems that the ship shook suddenly," Alexander looked at Seleucus suspiciously, "It's strange, there's no wind here, why is it shaking so much?" ”
Seleucus looked different, "Yes, I feel it too, why did it suddenly shake." Your Majesty, let's go back to the mansion, there are mixed people here, in case you are in any danger, those generals will not be able to eat me alive when they come back! ”
Seleucus was telling the truth, and a few years later the few people who plotted against Alexander's life were stabbed to death by the angry generals without waiting for much explanation, and they did not allow anyone to harm the life of the king of Greece, which was not only loyalty, but also a cult of personality.
Barzin was still interacting with the passing ships and the beauties, and the oversized woman was so focused on winking at Alexander that she was showing herself so much that she didn't know what had just happened.
Sometimes I really envy her "big strip" character.
As a result, Alexander did not agree to Seleucus's request, and continued to play his flute, Seleucus also picked up the flute and blew it, these two handsome young men are Greek music masters, remembering the great German philosopher Nietzsche's sentence "gold shines wherever it is", the ships next to them stopped one after another, and enjoyed the sound played by the two "partial sons", and the flutes around them naturally joined the "sons" ensemble.
Barcin's dancing was as the three women's boat grew farther and farther away from Alexander's sheepskin raft, and only the distant reflection of the ship could be seen.
At this time, it is getting late, and oil lamps are lit on both sides of the river, and the oil lamps of Memphis at this time are placed in a small dish, and the lamp oil is a mixture of olive oil and salt, and the shadow of the oil lamp is reflected in the water, and the whole river is brightly lit, so beautiful.
Just when Jiu'er had almost forgotten the episode on the river just now, it began to be noisy in the distance.
Mo Jiu closed his eyes and carefully discerned the noise in the distance.
"General Sai has fallen into the river!"
"General Sai has fallen into the river!" It was Arcas, Seleucus' guard.
"Seleucus can't swim, save ......" shouted King Alexander, and before he finished speaking, he heard a "plop", and it must have been Alexander who jumped into the river.
An ominous omen suddenly flashed in Jiu'er's mind, this is not an ordinary overboard!
Before she had time to think about it, the Nine Daughters of Melmer jumped from her sheep-headed boat into the cold water, and swam from the water to the boat in the distance.
Jiu'er's judgment was not wrong, this was not an ordinary falling into the water, after a desperate dive, above the riverbed more than ten meters deep, Mo Jiu saw Seleucus's body, which was being pulled by a cloud of white mist and falling sharply.
Jiu'er silently recited the incantation, and a water avoidance charm floated down his fingertips and was quickly thrown towards Seleucus's body.
Jiu'er wanted to cover General Sai's body first, and then break through the white mist.
Jiu'er quickly swam under Seleucus's body, and when Seleucus was about to jump up from the water, an aurora suddenly broke Jiu'er's water-avoiding barrier.
I actually broke my own spell, this spirit is not ordinary!
Mo Jiufeng's eyes widened, glaring angrily in the direction of his strength. With a wave of his hand, Seleucus was thrown towards the river.
The aurora reappeared, and in that moment, Jiu'er grabbed the aurora, which was a whip twisted from a pit viper, a spiritual creature, and it could move on its own.
Mo Jiukou recited the mantra of exorcism, but he used a trick in his hand, the combination of martial arts and Taoism, this is Jiu'er's self-created kung fu in these lifetimes, and it really worked, and the whip gradually shrank.
This move forced out its owner, it was the woman whose face was covered with mud, and another powerful aurora struck Jiu'er, driven by the evil force, Jiu'er's side formed a rapid vortex, and the ink Jiu rolled into the abyss, and behind him was the woman's smug smile.
Just as the vortex was about to sweep Mo Jiu into the bottomless abyss beneath him, Jiu'er controlled his rapidly descending body.
The strange woman was too happy, Mo Jiu was not a vegetarian, I saw Jiu'er sitting in the whirlpool with her palms crossed, letting the water rotate her body like a wheel.
If the heart is quiet, the mind is the whole world, Jiu'er recites the mantra, the middle finger ring finger is bent into the palm, and the remaining three fingers are facing all directions, using the Taoist three clear fingers, this fingering is the Taoist method of holding the rune water, Mo Jiu is to turn the entire Bubas River into her rune water to cast spells, see how the demons and monsters can win Mo Jiu.
The person who dares to touch Mo Jiu, she doesn't know who Jiu'er is!
Is there a girlfriend who is explosive, Jiu'er smiled silently in her heart, and read lightly on her lips - gossip array spell:
One worships the first hurdle in Jeju, and the second worships nine leaves to Nanyang.
Three worship on the earthquake Qingzhou, four worship the unitary exchange over the West Liang,
Five worship Hai Qianyongzhou land, six worship Xun Xuzhou City,
Seven worship Shenkun Jingzhou boundary, eight worship Yin Gong Yanzhou City
The disciples of the altar enter the middle palace.
The river is surging, the yin spirits in all directions of the east, west, north, south, and middle appear, and all the dead spirits in the Bubas River, fish, shrimp, crabs and other aquatic creatures, have all received gossip instructions.
Although they are inconspicuous yin spirits, Jiu'er's formation is not ordinary - the arrangement of the Macedonian phalanx, Jiu'er as the main force of the charge was the first to rush towards the mud-faced woman, the fish and shrimp yin spirit on the right side attacked the woman's left hand aura at a very fast speed, the drowning ghost spirit on the left side passed over from the woman's right side, and in the middle were three huge crocodiles following behind Jiu'er.
