Chapter 193: The Pearl of the Night
"We're on the run. The shopkeeper thought that we had killed someone, and the people from the government couldn't tell clearly. I think you should run away quickly. Mo Wuwen came up with a reason to get rid of Xiao Rongyue and them.
"Great wizard, we don't know each other well and don't know where to go, so we'll follow you." Xiao Rongyue followed them closely like their shadows.
At the Sunset Inn, the wine and food were just served, and he clashed with people and didn't have time to taste it, and he had another fight with people, but now his hungry belly was sticking to his back. However, in late autumn, there are no wild fruits in Dongming Mountain to satisfy hunger, so you can only drink water in the stream to relieve your hunger.
"Master. Why don't we go to the dragon kiln and get something to eat? Li Xiaomai saw that the group of people on the other side of the mountain had already walked to the place where the dragon kiln was built, but the so-called dragon kiln still looked like a mound of earth from top to bottom. With Li Xiaomai's skills, it is not a problem to steal some food from the crowd.
"Let's go, let's go get food, you wait for us here." Mo Wuwen said to Xiao Rongyue that he would want to take the opportunity to get rid of them.
"Let's go too." Xiao Rongyue hurriedly walked over.
"It's easy to expose the target when there are too many people, don't walk around, we'll be back soon." After saying that, he walked towards the mountainside.
"Master. In the inn shop, Xiao Er called you Heavenly Master, then we wait for the Heavenly Master Bottle to be fired, and you pretend to be a Heavenly Master to take away the Heavenly Master Bottle and bring it back to modern times, won't everything be solved? Li Xiaomai walked and suddenly had such a strange idea.
"It's easy to say. Then we will have to live in this ancient world for a while, and it is also a question of whether we can cheat the Celestial Master Bottle at that time. ”
"Master. How is it a lie, you were originally the reincarnation of the Heavenly Master, and the Heavenly Master Bottle was originally yours. ”
"It's better to figure out how to go back to the modern era, otherwise, even if you get the Heavenly Master Bottle, you will still have to stay in the ancient times." Mo Wuwen now wants to get rid of Xiao Rongyue and them, in case he brings them back to the modern era, it will be troublesome.
Li Xiaomai took out his beard and eyebrows from the backpack he was carrying and put on makeup for himself and Mo Wuwen, so that others could easily recognize them at once. Dongming Mountain is too familiar to Li Xiaomai, but in order not to cause trouble, Li Xiaomai hides his outfit in a small cave on the mountainside.
As they continued their walk towards the mountainside, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.
"Stop. What the hell are you doing! The majestic voice rang in their ears as the sound of the horses' hooves approached.
Mo Wuwen turned around and saw a group of soldiers wearing straw hats with red tassels on their heads, holding red tassel guns and staring at them. And the general on the horse, wearing armor and navy blue cloak, arrogantly drew his sword and pointed at them.
"General, we are migrant workers recruited by the Heavenly Master to build the Dragon Kiln, and just now Xiao Xie lost the team and lost his way." Mo Wuwen quickly made up a reason, hoping to deceive the officers and soldiers.
The general looked at them, and according to the shopkeeper, the murderers were four people, all of whom were handsome, but the two in front of them had rough beards, and they really didn't look like murderers. Then he asked in a loud voice, "Have you seen anyone escape?" ”
"No, sir. How many miles is the dragon kiln from here? Mo Wuwen pretended to look around and couldn't find the north.
"Going down the slope in that direction, the other slope is the place where the dragon kiln was built. Go ahead. The general waved his hand and let them pass.
"Let's go to Longyao to find something to eat first, I don't know where the mountain god of Dongming Mountain is." Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai walked in the direction of the dragon kiln.
Mo Wuwen saw the crowd bustling next to the dragon kiln, and the migrant workers were piling up firewood and hay on the hillside, and suddenly a raging fire ignited. The fire dragon that slopes down from the hillside is about 20 meters.
"Master. What are they doing? Li Xiaomai felt very strange.
"Well. I've looked up some information before. In ancient times, the formal kiln was first heated to make the foundation hard, to drive away the moths and rodents under the ground, and there is also an ancestral teaching, which means that the kiln will be prosperous when it is built. Mo Wuwen continued to watch the movements of the dragon kiln.
"Master. Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, I went to steal some food. ”
The two of them walked along the remote path to the side of the unguarded carriages near the dragon kiln, Li Xiaomai saw that no one was coming, so he climbed uphill, took out the skin from the carriage, and jumped downhill to meet with Mo Wuwen. opened the skin, Li Xiaomai grabbed the bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and Mo Wuwen also devoured it.
"Master, would you like to bring them something to eat?" Li Xiaomai looked at Mo Wuwen, he also knew that it was not easy to get rid of Xiao Rongyue and them, and send them something to eat, so it was not necessary to continue to let them follow.
"Let's go, bring them food. Anyway, the mountain god doesn't know where or when it will appear. Let's just wait until the Celestial Master Bottle is ready. Mo Wuwen felt that the future was still very bleak.
"Master. In those time-traveling novels, we modern people are calling for wind and rain to enjoy the prosperity of the world in ancient times, and traveling to ancient times is not known how many times stronger than falling in the gray world. ”
Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai slowly walked to the place where they were separated from Xiao Rongyue, but they couldn't see Xiao Rongyue's figure Li Xiaomai said, "Master." They may have gone down the mountain, or we should also go and see the cities of the Song Dynasty. ”
"Wait, Snap. Let's go to the cave and take out the flashlight from our baggage. ”
"What, Master. It's still early, so you can go down the mountain without a flashlight. ”
"Let's go. Let's go get a flashlight. You'll know what it's used for. Mo Wuwen said with a smile and put his hand on Li Xiaomai's shoulder.
Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai, who got the flashlight, crossed the mountains and mountains and soon arrived at the other end of the Dongming Foothills, and the sound of stepping on the fallen leaves startled the birds to flutter their wings and fly away, and the mountains and forests began to wake up slowly, lazily welcoming the red morning.
When people are tired, the brightest sunshine is only a ray of sunshine. What Li Xiaomai hopes most now is to find a restaurant to fill his stomach, but as far as the eye can see, there are empty fields, no one's shadow, only a lonely wind passing by.
The wild flowers that spread beside the ridges of the field bloomed like blood, and the wilderness was filled with a thick smell of blood. Suddenly, dust flew in the distance, and galloping horses were dense like swarms of locusts.
Mo Wuwen hurriedly hid in the grass on the side of the road and watched the horses pass by, "Master, is there a war that has started when so many people march in the direction of Dongming Mountain." Have you read the book and think about what happened in this year? ”
"As far as I know, there has never been any war in Shunzi City, and the army may have gone to exterminate the mountain bandits."
"Master. Yu Thorn Shi was looking for traces of Khitan spies in Dongming Mountain, and these people also went to Dongming Mountain. Do you say that Xiao Rongyue is really a Khitan spy? ”
"them. I'll take you to eat and drink spicy food in the city, Xiaomai. Mo Wuwen patted Li Xiaomai on the shoulder.
"Master. This is ancient times, and there is silver? ”
"Anyway, if you follow me, I have a way." Mo Wuwen took Li Xiaomai and walked towards Shunzi City, he remembered that Shunzi had always been called Shunzi since the city was built. After a tiring trek, they finally came to the city of Shunzi, only to see some people entering and leaving the city one after another.
Mo Wuwen and Li Xiaomai walked towards the city gate, and as soon as they reached the city gate, they were stopped by the sergeant guarding the gate, "Who are you?" ”
"Master Bing. We are Dongmingshan villagers, and we went to Shunzi City to find a brick-making master to cover the dragon kiln. "Mo Wuwen made up a reason.
When the soldiers saw that they were empty-handed, they waved no more questions and let them into the city. When he walked through the city gate, he saw that everything in front of him was so unfamiliar, the road was lined with trees covered with golden leaves, and the green weeds were overgrown under the trees. Near the road, there are a few thatched houses.
Further on, the road gradually began to be lively, and there were blue brick and gray tile houses on both sides of the road. Mo Wuwen continued to walk along the bustling area, and Li Xiaomai, who was following behind, said more and more listlessly, "Master." What about the good food and spicy drink? I'm tired from walking all day, or sit down and take a break. ”
"Right away, Xiaomai." Mo Wuwen smiled and pulled Li Xiaomai to the high-walled shop next to the street and pointed to the plaque for him to see.
"Pawnshop?" Li Xiaomai watched the TV series, of course, he knew the big word "dang" in the pawnshop, and when they walked into the pawnshop, they saw that the counter of the store was about one and a half meters high. Mo Wuwen swaggered to the Chao Feng (that is, the pawn shop clerk) behind the counter and said, "Let your shopkeeper come out, I have a peerless night pearl to sell her."
"Our shopkeeper is not easy to meet people, either you show me the Night Pearl or you will get out of the store for me!" The courtiers looked domineering and condescended to them.
"If you don't have sincerity, you don't buy or sell. Let's go. Mo Wuwen pulled Li Xiaomai and walked to the door, and by the way, he took out a flashlight and took a picture of Chaofeng.
The windows of the pawnshop were closed, and even during the day, candles were lit, and when the flashlight shone brightly, it covered the entire pawnshop in an instant. Chaofeng's eyes were stunned in an instant, he had never seen such a bright night pearl in his life, and hurriedly ran out and shouted to Mo Wuwen, "Uncle, I'll invite you to go to the shopkeeper." ”
After a while, the fat-headed and big-eared shopkeeper appeared in front of Mo Wuwen with a big belly and said, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Shopkeeper. You make a price, you don't have to say more. Mo Wuwen turned the flashlight back on and shone it on the wall, but he could clearly see the shopkeeper's greedy eyes staring at the flashlight.
"Twenty taels of silver..."
"Shopkeeper, you don't have any sincerity at all, forget it, we won't sell it." Mo Wuwen pretended to leave.
"Uncle. Don't go, don't go, you name a price. The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted to stop Mo Wuwen but glanced at Chaofeng, and Chaofeng quietly came out of the side door.
"Twenty taels of gold." Mo Wuwen didn't know the price anyway, the lion opened his mouth, waiting for the shopkeeper to bargain.
"Twenty taels of gold, this, this..."
"How's that, shopkeeper. In a word, okay or no? Mo Wuwen tempted the shopkeeper.
"Fifteen taels of gold, I can only give so much." The shopkeeper said with a twitching face.
