Chapter 201: Return to the Dragon Kiln
"Who~~" Mo Wuwen walked to the door and pulled the wooden door hard, but the door couldn't be pulled at all if it was petrified.
Seeing that the door was not so strong, Mo Wuwen stepped back and prepared to kick down the wooden door. But at this moment, a voice came from outside the door that surprised him: "Great wizard." It's me, Xiao Rongyue. It's not early, let's go to Dongming Mountain..."
Mo Wuwen exhaled deeply, but he still held the celadon piece tightly and looked at the closed wooden door, he didn't know how the door was opened and it would really be Xiao Rongyue who came in.
"Then open the locks! The door is locked, and we can't open the door how to get out. Li Xiaomai banged on the door and shouted.
"What lock? The wooden door is locked, you open the wooden bolt and I'll push it..."
It was indeed Xiao Rongyue's voice, and Mo Wuwen quietly pulled Li Xiaomai to retreat to the center of the room.
There was a creak, the door was opened, and Xiao Rongyue looked at them with strange eyes. And Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai were speechless in relative surprise, why did they try their best to open the door from the inside of the door, so that Xiao Rongyue could easily push it open from the outside of the door.
It must be Xiao Rongyue's ghost! Mo Wuwen's first reaction was like this, but he still buried the doubts in his heart, hugged his fists, and thanked Xiao Rongyue, "Thanks to Xiao Gongzi for saving me, I am grateful......"
"What do you say, Grand Wizard?" Xiao Rongyue's face was full of mangran.
"Is the door really unlocked?" Mo Wuwen looked at Xiao Rongyue as if he was lying, and was a little skeptical of his judgment (is it really Xiao Rongyue's ghost?) )
"What locks are not locked, I think you have encountered a ghost." Xiao Rongyue seemed to say it inadvertently, but her eyes quickly glanced at Mo Wuwen to see what Mo Wuwen's reaction was.
"Ghosts?" Mo Wuwen suddenly remembered Ghost Xiaosuo, could it all have something to do with him? It is not credible to say that Xiao Suo's words are not credible, but there is one thing that can confirm whether what Xiao Rongyue said is true, that is, whether Xiao Rongyue is a woman or not. It is not the style of Mo Wuwen to move his hands and feet against a man or a man in women's clothes in broad daylight, he can't see men and women when he wears clothes so thick, and he can't see the Adam's apple with his collar around his neck, Mo Wuwen can only look at Xiao Rongyue deeply, hoping to find out some clues whether he is a man or a woman.
Xiao Rongyue was a little uncomfortable when she saw Mo Wuwen's eyes staring at him, so she immediately turned around and said, "Let's go to Dongming Mountain to stop the Heavenly Master from casting a bottle!" ”
"The officers and soldiers of Dongmingshan are heavily guarded, I'm afraid that we won't be able to go up the mountain so easily, and if we can't do it..." Li Xiaomai thought to himself that he had just escaped from the hands of the officers and soldiers and was going to be sent to the door, to be honest, he really didn't want to take that risk.
"Don't worry. I guarantee that this time we will go to Dongmingshan unimpeded, and everyone can follow me. Xiao Rongyue said with confidence.
The suspicious Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai followed Xiao Rongyue out of Huayue Tower, Xiao Tie drove them straight to Dongming Mountain, out of the city gate of Shunzi County, they were blocked by officers and soldiers, Xiao Tie didn't know what to take out from his arms for the officers and soldiers to see, and then the officers and soldiers greeted the carriage with smiling faces and drove out of the city gate.
"Young Master Xiao. Even if you destroy the Dragon Kiln, the Heavenly Master can still rebuild the Dragon Kiln in many places suitable for burning porcelain, and you must burn the bottle to make porcelain bottles in Dongming Mountain. "No matter what, I don't want Xiao Rongyue to disrupt the process of Gailong Kiln.
"If you don't destroy the dragon kiln, how can that Taoist priest come out?" Xiao Rongyue gently spit out the words and continued to meditate on something with her eyes closed.
The carriage bumped along the rugged road, and the group finally reached the foot of Dongming Mountain. When Xiao Rongyue got out of the carriage, she said to them, "You wait for me, don't go away." ”
Looking at the figures of Xiao Rongyue and Xiao Tie walking towards the officers and soldiers guarding Dongming Mountain, Mo Wuwen couldn't see that Xiao Rongyue had the slightest woman's form and demeanor, no matter how he looked at it.
Xiao Rongyue walked in front of the officers and soldiers, took out something from his arms, shook it in front of the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and then the officers and soldiers couldn't stop nodding their heads, and some officers and soldiers and Xiao Tie came over to lead the carriage and tied the reins to the nearby stump, and then Xiao Tie beckoned to Mo Wuwen and motioned for them to come over.
"What the hell is going on? The ghost Xiao Suo clearly said that Xiao Rongyue was the princess of Liao, Yelu Liubai, but the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty treated her with a submissive look. Mo Wuwen walked and walked more and more confused.
When Mo Wuwen and they walked to Xiao Rongyue's side, Xiao Rongyue turned over and got on the horse and rode up the mountain under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, while Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai could not ride a horse and could only follow the horse with Xiao Tie up the mountain on foot.
I don't know how long the mountain road has been walked, the dragon kiln can finally let Mo Wuwen see from afar, they traveled to ancient times when the dragon kiln had just begun to burn the foundation, and now a day or two of effort, many bricklayers and migrant workers are fighting day and night to build the dragon kiln like a giant dragon winding in Dongming Mountain.
It seems that everything is ready, just waiting for Zhang Tianshi to cast and burn the Heavenly Master bottle, but the Heavenly Master still has no information. When a group of them walked to the dragon kiln, the porcelain master was preparing to burn some civilian porcelain to try how to master the heat just right.
"Lord Overseer, the master is trying to burn celadon, please check." With smiles on their faces, the officers and soldiers walked into the porcelain-making shed with Xiao Rongyue on their waists. Walking into the shed, Mo Wuwen saw the master craftsman kneading the mud like noodles.
Seeing their curious eyes, the master craftsman explained, "Kneading the mud is to make it easier to draw the blank, but in fact, the air in the soil must be kneaded away before the blank is formed." ”
At the end of the press, I saw that the master of the blank was holding a wooden stick against the booster hole on the edge of the turntable, driving the round shaft on the wheel, so that the turntable was in a state of high-speed rotation, and the master put down the wooden stick that he was holding for a while, but the turntable still continued to rotate, and the porcelain master put the mud in the center of the turntable to start drawing the blank.
Gradually, the turntable slows down or stops, and the porcelain master continues to stir the turntable with a wooden stick against the booster hole until the mud is in the middle of the turntable. Then the craftsman will open the fixed soil, press the soil into the shape of the vessel with his right hand, and then squeeze the inner and outer walls of the soil with his fingers at the same time, at this time the master will slowly pull the body up, the turntable rotates a circle, and the master will pull the blank up a little.
When the blank comes out, the porcelain master carefully inspects and repairs the blank, and says, "As long as the mud blank is placed in a flat open space to dry, it can be fired." ”
"Master, is it celadon when fired like this?" Xiao Rongyue asked curiously.
"Lord Overseer, this is just plain firing, shaped blank tire. After the plain firing molding, the porcelain embryo needs to be glazed three times. Each time you apply the glaze, you need to wait for it to dry before you can apply the next glaze. The celadon made in this way is thin and thick, and the thousand peaks are emerald. "The porcelain master talks about celadon and gushes endlessly.
Xiao Rongyue didn't seem to be very interested in the firing of celadon, and she was dealing with the porcelain master with a hmm, but the afterglow swept to all corners of the shed.
"Lord Overseer, the dragon kiln has been built, when will the Heavenly Master start to open the kiln to burn porcelain?" The porcelain master put a porcelain embryo away, turned around and asked.
"This..."Xiao Rongyue could only prevaricate.
"Bastard! It's your turn to ask! Dutou, who had been accompanying Xiao Rongyue to inspect everywhere, hurriedly shouted at the porcelain master.
"No, no, sir. Now is a good season for porcelain burning, and then Dongming Mountain will have heavy snowfall, and after the mountain is closed, it can only stay until the spring of the next year to continue to burn porcelain. The porcelain master turned pale with fright and quickly raised his head to explain clearly, the official could not afford to offend.
"It's okay, it's okay. Dutou, the sky is dark, I will return to Shunzi County first, and come to burn celadon tomorrow, if there is no abnormality, I will tell the Ministry of Works, and ask the heavenly master to cast a bottle. Xiao Rongyue waved her hand and asked the porcelain master to step back.
As soon as the sun goes down in Dongming Mountain in late autumn, the sky gets dark quickly, and the weak moonlight rises and the twilight envelops the entire dragon kiln.
"Dutou, what's that black crush on the hillside!" The officers and soldiers who were patrolling shouted, and before they could react, the black shadow was only a few dozen meters away from the dragon kiln, and the bright spots of Bai Sensen could be faintly seen dancing among the black shadows.
"Quick, bow and arrow ready!" As soon as the head gave the order, the group drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the black shadows that were quickly sweeping on the hillside.
"Zombies!" The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers screamed in horror when they saw it, and it was the zombies' teeth that were as white as dead fish eyes.
"Shoot, shoot the arrow in your hand at the zombie and hurry up with the fire oil arrow!" The head of the capital immediately ordered the soldiers to go into battle.
Arrows rained down, but the zombies were undaunted, pulling out the arrows that hit them and breaking them into two pieces and throwing them to the ground. The footsteps did not stop and beat rapidly, and soon jumped up the hill and ran towards them with teeth and claws.
Before the fire oil arrows of the officers and soldiers could shoot the zombies, they jumped in front of them, and their hands were like blades cutting at the officers and soldiers. Whoosh, finally a soldier shot a lit fire oil arrow and hit the zombie, and the flames ignited and the zombie whined and howled.
But the other zombies bit the arrow-shooting soldier like a hungry wolf, and in an instant, the soldier who was still flesh and blood was bitten into a skeleton. The crazy zombies bite people when they see them, and the officers and soldiers have never seen such ferocious zombies, and they are so frightened that they put down their weapons and flee in all directions.
Only Xiao Rongyue, Xiao Tie, and Xiao Tie were left in the dragon kiln, and Li Xiaomai and the four of them were in the biting cold wind. At this time, the zombies unexpectedly stopped not far from them.
Xiao Tie, who was standing in front of Xiao Rongyue, pulled out his sword and pointed at the zombies who were about to move, and Mo Wuwen also held the celadon piece to block Li Xiaomai behind him, and the air was filled with a strong fighting atmosphere.
"Yelu Liubai, you also have today..."Ghost Xiaosuo accidentally floated over from nowhere and stood in the zombie crowd.
"Sure enough, it's you! When zombies appeared, I guessed that it was you, a brute, who were harming the world! Xiao Rongyue also pulled out a sword from her belt at this time, and the cold light flashed compellingly.
"Kill!" Ghost Xiao Suo gave an order, and the zombies rushed over like a tide.
