135, the big red man next to the little county lord
On the sloping slopes, low shrubs can be seen everywhere, and among the weeds, which are half a man high, there are tombstones that constantly appear abruptly.
It's a mass grave.
There are those buried here who are destitute, and there are those who were rich in their lives. Those who have names and those who don't have names have become a handful of loess after death.
The tomb of Xu Zhan.
It's a new tomb, the headstone is new, and the soil is still a little wet. Some of the broken weed roots and leaves still poked out of the grave.
On the ground sprinkled with a little yellow paper, Tan Mo sat on the ground, chanting scriptures.
Xu Zhan is the full name of that Xu guard. Because there are no bones, only some clothes from Xu Zhantang's life are placed in this tomb.
Tan Mo and this Xu guard actually don't have any friendship, but after all, they went to Zhangfu in Jing'an Town together, and it was this Xu guard who sent him back, Tan Mo was still a little sad.
He didn't know what happened to this Xu guard, but he could guess that it was related to this Xu guard's ghost.
The murderer is either the five demon fetuses or the third lady.
As soon as Xu Zhan died, King Teng let people be buried here, and the process was very sloppy, but in this world, it was not easy to have a chance to enter the earth for peace, and there were countless violent corpses in the wilderness.
After Tan Mo finished reciting the scriptures, he asked the maid who accompanied him: "Donor, does Xu Huwei have a family?" β
"I have parents, a younger brother and a younger sister. However, his parents lived far away, and only his brother and his sister lived with Xu Huwei. β
"The little monk wants to meet Xu Huwei's family."
"The maidservant girl has a good sister, and she is a neighbor with Xu Huwei, so let her bring the little master over."
"Thank you, donor."
"I don't dare to be a little master."
After some politeness, the two went down from the mass grave. Tan Mo took advantage of the situation to look into the distance, and found that in this square area, there was no figure in sight, nor could he see the cooking smoke of nearby people, only one grave after another, constantly appearing in the field of vision.
This place is really desolate enough.
There was a carriage parked at the bottom of the mountain, and the two took the carriage back, and when they arrived at King Teng's mansion, the maid asked Tan Mo to wait for a while, and then led a maid who called herself "Bao'er" out.
Bao'er was not very old, fourteen or fifteen years old, came to Tan Mo and said, "Little Master wants to go to see Brother Xu's younger siblings, you don't have to take a carriage to go over, that section of the carriage is not easy to walk, and it is faster to walk." β
Tan Mo clasped his hands together and said, "Since this is the case, then please ask Miss Bao'er to lead the way." The little monk is not a pampered person. β
Bao'er nodded, led Tan Mo and left.
After walking for about a cup of tea, she came to an alley, and Bao'er knocked on the door of a house.
The door soon opened, and a young man came out, and when he saw Bao'er, his face showed joy, and he shouted, "Sister Bao'er, are you here to see your sister?" You don't have to worry, the eldest brother has been gone for three days, and although the younger sister is young, she also knows the severity and is not so sad. β
"Brother Xu is gone, you can take care of your sister more in the future." Bao'er said, then pointed to Tan Mo, who was standing behind him, and said, "This is the little master of Ming Wuyan of the Lotus Temple, he is familiar with Brother Xu, and he knows that Brother Xu is gone, and after giving incense to Brother Xu, he wants to come and see you." β
"Hello, little master." The young man said hello to Tan Mo.
Polite, but also casual.
"The little monk will leave a letter, if your brother and sister are in trouble in the future, you can come to the Lotus Temple to find the little monk, or let someone come to the Lotus Temple with a letter. As long as the little monk can do his best, he will do his best. Tan Mo said, and took out the letter prepared in advance.
Xu Huwei died, and he couldn't help but say something.
This was planned by Tan Mo before he went to pay tribute to Xu Guard.
The young man was stunned, and did not find the letter in Tan Mo's hand, but turned his head to look at Bao'er, looking confused. After all, when a little novice said such a thing, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little wrong with the style of painting.
Seeing this, Bao'er said softly: "This little master Ming Wuyan is a big celebrity beside the little county lord. β
The young man's face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he quickly took the letter.
"Thank you, little master!"
Tan Mo: ???
Are you changing your face too fast?
Also, what is the big celebrity around the little county lord?
Tan Mo really wanted to correct the wrong views of this maid and this young man, but after thinking about it, in this way, this young man would pay more attention to his letter, and he would not throw it away at will, so it would not be in vain for his hard work, so he didn't speak, and after waiting for Bao'er and the young man to say something more, he said goodbye and left.
Bao'er naturally hurriedly followed Tan Mo back, and on the way, Tan Mo asked, "Miss Bao'er, but is the personal maid next to the little county lord?" β
"The little county lord doesn't have a personal maid yet, and the maidservant girl is one of the prince's personal maids." Bao'er covered her mouth and smiled, she laughed a little fancy.
"Does Miss Bao'er know that the little county lord is back?"
"No, I should still be in the Lotus Temple with the princess. The princess sent a message yesterday saying that she had met an old man in the Lotus Temple, and she wanted to spend a few more days with this old man, and the prince had already agreed. β
Tan Mo nodded.
"Oh, by the way, the prince said before, after the little master comes back, let the little master go to meet him. However, the prince was seeing guests before, and it was not good to come here, so the little master could pass in another half an hour. Boa said again.
"The little monk knows, thank you Miss Bao'er."
Walking into King Teng's mansion, Tan Mo returned to his residence, and according to what Bao'er said, he waited for half an hour before going over to find King Teng.
When I walked to the door, I happened to see King Teng sending a person out.
Bao'er really lied to him, King Teng was really entertaining a distinguished guest, and it was not appropriate to collide.
So Tan Mo stopped and waited.
After a while, King Teng came back from outside the door, and when he saw Tan Mo, he coughed dryly and said, "Jing'an Town and his party, the little monk has worked hard, but you have done half of the work and have not solved those ghost things." Therefore, the Buddha treasure cannot be given to you. But this king is not a stingy person, and he will be rewarded for his merits, so you can make a request to this king. Say, what do you want? β
Tan Momu grimaced, folded his hands, and said in an extraordinarily calm tone: "The little monk wants to enter the prince's library to read for three days. β
King Teng will backtrack, and Tan Mo is not surprised.
After he woke up, he found that the demon scepter was gone, and the maid who took care of him never mentioned the demon scepter, Tan Mo immediately understood that most of it was before Xu Zhan's death that he told him about urging the demon scepter, and King Teng regretted it after knowing that the Buddha treasure he had not cared about was really a treasure.
But Tan Mo wasn't worried at all that this demon slaying staff would not be able to return to him.
Because no one but him can use it at the moment, not even if they know the first mantra.
The Demon Suppression Scepter requires the cicada to be urged to be activated.
