Chapter 15: Revisiting the Old Land
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming's apprentice Long Gu also recognized the medicinal powder, and knew more than Miaole. After she explained the medicinal powder to Mu Qingming in detail, Mu Qingming began to look for the traces of the leper monk according to the characteristics of the medicinal powder. Although it was not easy, they still had traces, looking for the little traces left by their opponents, all the way to the edge of the city. But the clue was broken at the small east gate, and everything was nowhere to be found. Draw out Miao Yu according to the clues provided by Tie Hua to prepare the elixir. To feed the hens with this medicine, they can make them lay eggs at noon. In the chaotic clues, Mu Qingming finally found the whereabouts of the leper monk, and pursued it all the way, but came to a barren and dilapidated courtyard in the city. 】
The night was deep, and Kyaukyun sat alone under the tree in the courtyard, staring blankly at the two night owls hanging in the birdcage on the tree, and they were stunned.
In addition to the stunned eyes, there was also a hint of imperceptible gloom and sadness.
Although life and death are parting for anyone, it is something that anyone has to experience. But when all this came suddenly without warning, Kyaukyun was at a loss.
Recently, she has been haunted by nightmares, dreaming of a wildfire burning on Happy Horse Mountain, and every time she wakes up, her face is full of tears. This makes Kyaukyun always think of the people and things in the past when it comes to night.
As soon as he thought of this, Kyaukyun couldn't sleep all night, and could only secretly wash his face with tears.
"Little girl, you don't rest or practice in the middle of the night, but you run to this dewy courtyard and look at these two night owls. What's so nice about two hairy brutes? As she said this, Miao Yu suddenly flashed behind Kyaukyun, and when she was startled, she also pulled her out of her grief.
And the two night owls in the birdcage screamed; It's not that they're scared, it's that they understand that Miao Yu said that they are beasts and get angry. The eyes of the four angry birds shone with cold light.
Anger is anger, but these two night owls can't rush out of the birdcage engraved with forbidden talismans, and they can't beat Miao Yu when they rush out, and the two night owls know that they can express their dissatisfaction with anger and fluttering wings, and nothing else has been done.
"Uncle Miaoyu." Jiaoyun, who quickly calmed down, turned around and hurriedly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"I can't sleep." Miao Yu didn't ask much when she saw it, so as not to arouse Kyaukyun's sadness.
"Hmm." Kyaukyun replied, lowering his head slightly.
"Then come with me, help me prepare a pair of elixir." Miao Yu said, and walked upstairs to the Westinghouse. As he walked, he urged: "Go grab one to guard the palace and bring it upstairs." ”。
Kyaukyun was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and walked downstairs to the Westinghouse, near the room where the inverted seat was located.
The curious snow leopard also moved its ears, got up from the kennel in the inverted house, opened its mouth and yawned, and then followed Kyaukyun into the house.
Kyaukyun found an oil lamp and a match in the dark in the house, struck the match and lit the oil lamp.
By the dim light of the fire, Kyaukyun strode to the corner of the house, in front of the clay jar placed next to the wall, and when the lid was opened, the snow leopard beside him had already stood up, and his two thick front paws were lying on the edge of the mouth of the jar, and the probe was looking inside.
There was a rustling sound in the tank. Kept inside, the palace guards who were red because of eating cinnabar were scurrying around in the tank in a panic, but they couldn't climb the smooth wall of the tank, so they could only rampage back and forth in the tank, and there were incidents of collisions with each other.
The cunning snow leopard just likes to watch this scene, and every time he sees two palace guards colliding and turning into the tank, kicking his feet to the sky, the snow leopard will always wagging his tail happily.
Kyaukyun grabbed a palace guard and pinched it in his palm, covered the lid of the water tank, blew out the oil lamp in the house, and walked out of the house with the snow leopard.
When she took the palace upstairs to the Westinghouse, the snow leopard had already turned back to the upside-down room and went back to sleep.
When Kyaukyun entered the pharmacy, Miao Yu, who was carrying the medicine pestle, came over, took Shougong and walked to the table, and threw Shougong into the brass mortar on the table.
When the palace keeper boarded, he was thrown to pieces; Before he knew what to do, the medicine pestle raised by Miao Yu had already fallen.
With a crackling sound, the Chinese medicine pestle smashed the palace guard, and the red blood of the palace guard splashed in the medicine mortar. Miao Yu continued to wield the medicine pestle, and kept pounding the palace guard in the medicine mortar.
In seven or eight strokes, he smashed the palace guard into a pile of meat sauce.
"Uncle Miaoyu, what are you doing here?" Jiaoyun stood not far from her, watching Miaoyu's every move, and asked curiously.
"Uncle Tie Hua told me with his mind that he wanted a midday egg. I'm going to feed the old hen a pair of medicines, so that in seven days she will lay an egg at noon. Miao Yu said, stopped, walked to the side of the medicine cabinet and opened a drawer, grabbed some powder from it, and turned back.
"Can you still use medicine to control when chickens lay eggs?" It was the first time Kyaukyun had heard of such a strange thing, and his curiosity was even greater, but he forgot his previous sorrow.
This is also the intention of Miao Yu to call her.
"Of course." Miao Yu said and sprinkled the medicine powder in her hand into the medicine mortar, and then mixed the medicine powder with those palace guarding meat sauce.
"Go find me some Ganoderma lucidum, Huang Jing." After a pause, Miao Yu said again: "I also need to point out the lock yang and blood residual charcoal, as well as the dragon spinal cord and the sun soil." Five cents for each. ”......
Outside the small east gate, Ah Hong and Long Gu frowned. Faced with the messy clues all over the ground, they can be said to be overwhelmed.
This clue that was hard to find is over here, and Ah Hong and Long are very unwilling.
Only Mu Qingming and Miao Le calmed down after being stunned for a moment, staring at the messy fluorescent light all over the ground, and quickly thinking about countermeasures.
They have been dealing with evil sects for a long time, and they are much more experienced than two disciples. They knew that it would not be broken until the clue was gone. Leaving clues like this but deliberately messing it up, there are clues and traces to follow. As long as you can peel back the cocoon, you can still continue to track it down.
"It's up to you." Mu Qingming, who glanced at Miao Le, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Miaole understood, nodded silently, and took a step forward into the darkness in the doorway.
Although there are many traces and clues left by the medicinal powder here, there is only one trace clue that has been spelled. There must be traces of the illusion cast and the caster's qi remaining.
From the chaos that makes it manifest, it is Miaole's profession.
She is an expert in the study of arts, and making them manifest is also her forte.
I saw that after Miaole stood in the doorway, his hands were crossed in front of his chest, his ten fingers kept changing, and in the blink of an eye, he quickly pinched out more than a dozen different handprints.
When she had done all this, her hands were down, and her robe was puffing up without wind. Long Gu and Ah Hong behind him then saw that among the messy clues and traces, there were a few points of fluorescent light rising up wisps of jet black gas.
The black gas rose up, and the cold emanating from it caused the temperature in the doorway and nearby places to plummet considerably. It wasn't until a short time later that the night breeze blew away the black air, and the temperature around him returned to normal.
"Gone." Mu Qingming said, and a dodge stood through the doorway and stood in the city.
He glanced at the black qi that had risen before, and he had already made a note of all the locations.
Miaole behind him called Ah Hong and Long Gu and followed. They followed Mu Qingming around the city gate and walked into a narrow alley on the side.
Only then did I enter the alley, and I saw the messy fluorescent light all over the ground, extending from the mouth of the alley to the depths of the alley. Ah Hong sighed softly again, and Long Gu shook his head.
Miao Tian repeated the old trick again, and a few of the fluorescent lights rose black as her handprints formed.
Looking for these black gases, all the way forward, Mu Qingming and they walked through the intricate alleys. Sometimes turning left and sometimes right, after walking for a long time, I finally couldn't see the messy clues.
The fluorescent light on the ground in front of him was still there, but it was less and no longer messy.
Mu Qingming finally peeled back the cocoon and found the clue from the messy clues.
"See, the powder used in the operation will leave traces of the operation. By looking for this trace, we can distinguish which trace is real and which trace is disguised. Mu Qingming said as he walked, explaining everything to Ah Hong and Long Gu.
"Well, that's a good idea." Long Gu nodded after thinking about it.
And Ah Hong shouted: "Master, why didn't you say such a good way earlier? We had a headache for a long time, and we thought that the clue was just broken. ”。
"Hehe, words are always better than examples." Mu Qingming continued to look for the little fluorescent light on the ground, and slowly moved forward: "Aren't you more memorable now?" When you encounter this matter in the future, you will immediately think of how to solve it. ”。
Under the quiet night sky, several black cats jumped onto the house, howled a few times in the night wind, jumped off the wall, and disappeared into the night.
Amid the infiltrating howls, Mu Qingming and the others continued to wander through the quiet alleys, looking for traces.
After walking for a long time, they saw the last bit of fluorescent light in front of them, landing in front of the wooden door of a small courtyard, on the steps.
Behind the stairs made of two bluestone slabs is a small courtyard with cacti on the top of the adobe courtyard wall. In front of the hidden courtyard gate, grass has begun to grow in the left and right corners. Even on the courtyard walls to the left and right of the gate, weeds are growing wildly.
At first glance, this courtyard is a dilapidated courtyard that is unattended. The courtyard should be unoccupied.
But this also made Mu Qingming vigilant.
The clue pointed to this small courtyard, which had not been under the control and surveillance of him and Zhao Liang. Could it be that the Immortal Dao was already in the city, secretly developing a force that he was not aware of, and a stronghold that he did not know about?
And this small courtyard in front of you is the place where this force is secretly operating.
When Mu Qingming was wondering, Ah Hong behind him opened his lips slightly, and his heart was shocked.
He couldn't be more familiar with the small courtyard in front of him, he recognized this place, it was the home of the old pedant who had used him to break the forbidden land of the blessed land and wanted to obtain spiritual energy.
After being surprised, Ah Hong clenched his fists, took a step forward, and gritted his teeth and explained to Mu Qingming where this was, Mu Qingming was also surprised.
He never imagined that this was the home of the old pedant.
"Then you're revisiting the old place." After a while, Mu Qingming, who had regained his composure, said this, but secretly guessed in his heart: "Could it be that I missed some clue at the beginning?" Could this old scholar also be a disciple of the Tao of Immortality? ”。
Thinking of this, he turned his head to Miaole beside him and said, "Protect these two little ghosts, I'll go and have a look first." ”。
Miao Le nodded, took Ah Hong and Long Gu back a few steps, and stood opposite the courtyard gate, under the wall of the other person's house.
Mu Qingming took a deep breath in the wind and slowly walked forward. He stepped on the fluorescent light on the ground, stood in front of the hidden courtyard gate, raised his hands and pushed the gate open.
A strong wind surged from behind the courtyard gate, coming towards him.
What will Mu Qingming find in the courtyard? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
