498 Mirror Flowers
"Alright."
After Jiang Yi finished everything, he looked at Xu Mu'e and said, "Let's go to Alu's house now." ”
Xu Mu'e was about to nod, but remembered something again, so she proposed:
"Ah Lu, she doesn't have much income, her family must be very simple, and many things are lacking, or let's go buy some commonly used things first, and then go to her house."
The reason why Xu Mu'e said this, in addition to facilitating their own lives, was more because they wanted to take this opportunity to improve the environment of Alu's family, so that Alu could live a better life.
Jiang Yi naturally didn't care about this, and said casually:
"It's fine."
Then the two walked around the streets, bought some necessities for their daily lives, and exchanged their horses for a carriage.
After all these things, it was already dusk.
Xu Mu'e went to a restaurant on the street to buy some food, put it in a food box, and then drove the carriage out of the city to Ah Lu's house.
The Alu family lives in a small village on the outskirts of the city, which is quite remote and desolate. It is said to be a small village, but in fact, there are only a dozen or so farmhouse courtyards. Some people also have poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in their yards.
In contrast, the courtyard of the village is the most dilapidated and empty, with no poultry at all, only some tattered furniture.
When Jiang Yi and the others came to the outside of the fence wall, half of the sun in the west was already covered by the distant mountains, and only a little golden afterglow remained, dyeing half of the sky red.
Ah Lu was holding a bare broom, cleaning in the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them, he said happily:
"Sister Xu, Brother Jiang, you're here."
Xu Mu'e and Jiang Yi took the things in the carriage into the yard and put them away.
"Ah Lu, you haven't eaten yet, let's eat first."
Xu Mu'e said, took out the food box, broke the food inside on the table, and set it up.
Ah Lu looked at the various dishes wafting from the table with this tempting aroma, and then glanced at a ball of wrapped oiled paper not far away, which contained a few fried cakes she had just bought in the afternoon, which cost her all her wages for the day. It was originally used to entertain Jiang Yi and the others, but now they are naturally embarrassed to take it out.
Under Xu Mu'e's repeated greetings, Ah Lu came to the table to eat together.
After eating a few bites, Ah Lu said ashamedly:
"This house hasn't been cleaned up much, I hope you don't dislike it."
Jiang Yi said: "It's not bad, the basic things are there, and it's almost the same if you clean it up a little." ”
As he spoke, he pinched the mantra and slashed his right hand in the air.
Call!
As a wave of spiritual power fluctuated, the next moment, Ah Lu's dilapidated and shabby courtyard suddenly turned into an elegant courtyard.
The tables and chairs in the room have also suddenly become wooden furniture with unique shapes, smooth textures, and various exquisite patterns.
Xu Mu'e looked at the renovated house and said to Ah Lu with a smile:
"You see, it's not very good right now."
Ah Lu looked at the changes in the house blankly, nodded stupidly, looked at Jiang Yi in a daze, and only reacted after a while, and exclaimed:
"Brother Jiang, I didn't expect you to know how to do immortal arts."
"It's not a fairy trick, it's just a small trick."
Jiang Yi said with a smile.
This spell is called Mirror Flower Water Moon, and it is a high-grade illusion technique, far more powerful than ordinary blinding methods. Not to mention ordinary mortals, even with Xu Mu'e's cultivation, they can't see any flaws.
However, in Jiang Yi's eyes, this small courtyard is still the same as it was, and there is no change.
After all, it is just a spell after all, and it can't reach the level of immortal arts, otherwise it can really change the structure of the house - from a broken house to a mansion.
Jiang Yi said easily, Ah Lu couldn't wait to ignore it, she looked at Xu Mu'e, and asked cautiously:
"Sister Mu'e, what exactly are you doing?"
After Xu Mu'e pondered for a while, she said:
"I won't hide it from you, Master and I are cultivators, and we are traveling around, slaying demons and destroying demons, and this time I came to Ancheng to eradicate a monster that is doing evil nearby."
"Oh."
Hearing this, Ah Lu looked at Xu Mu'e with admiration.
……
After eating, Ah Lu hurriedly got up and rushed to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Xu Mu'e went to tidy up the room briefly.
By this time the sun had set, and the sky had completely darkened.
The courtyard is surrounded by mountains and forests, and it is dark and gloomy.
Whew~
A wolf roar was heard in the forest in the distance, primitive and cruel.
Crash!
Ah Lu's body trembled when he heard this, and the plate in his hand suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.
When Xu Mu'e heard the voice, she immediately ran over and was relieved to see that she was fine. Then he frowned and asked:
"You have wolves here?"
Ah Lu nodded his chin and said timidly: "Yes, the wolf is fierce, and he often goes into the village to eat, Uncle Liu's chickens and Aunt Wang's ducks are eaten, and blood is all over the ground." ”
As he spoke, his eyes were full of fear.
Xu Mu'e said with relief: "Don't worry, as long as you learn some swordsmanship from me, you won't be afraid of wolves in the future, and you won't be bullied by those people like Da Niu Afu anymore." ”
As he spoke, he helped her wash the dishes and chopsticks, took her to the courtyard, lit a candle, and began to teach her swordsmanship.
Because Ah Lu has no foundation, Xu Mu'e first passed on a set of basic swordsmanship to her: drawing a sword, stabbing, pointing, splitting, teasing, intercepting, and collapsing.
Ah Lu has a very smart brain, and she will quickly learn the movements, but her strength in her hands and feet is insufficient, so the power of swordsmanship will be greatly reduced.
Because of malnutrition, Alu's physical strength was very poor, and he was tired and sweating profusely after more than half an hour. Xu Mu'e began to teach her the basic breathing and breathing method again.
Inside the house, Jiang Yi took the purple spirit rune, probed out the power of the primordial god and invaded the rune paper, studying the primordial spirit of the jackal demon.
Although he has a quick way to make Ah Lu a master in an instant, he has no intention of interfering, because this matter is Xu Mu'e's experience.
So he was just taking care of himself and doing various experiments on the primordial spirit of the jackal demon, and at the same time thinking about Yan Daochang's experiment: how to seize the demon power with a human body.
It is undoubtedly not advisable to directly store the monster's primordial spirit into the human body, after all, the monster primordial spirit is far stronger than the human soul, and it is easy to rebel against the guest and take away the human body.
You have to do something with the monster's primordial spirit.
……
Early the next morning.
Jiang Yi and the three of them simply drank a cup of ginseng tea, which was considered breakfast.
Subsequently, Xu Mu'e said:
"Master, let's go to the mountains to collect some medicinal herbs, boil the decoction and then go to the city to give medicine to the doctor. I just don't know what herbs are needed? ”
Jiang Yi said: "Just some simple medicinal materials, such as ginseng, poria, astragalus, ......."
As he spoke, he gave the names of a few medicinal herbs.
Xu Mu'e wrote them down one by one with a serious expression.
Ah Lu listened quietly to the words of the two on the side, and couldn't help but say:
"There are a lot of jackals in the nearby mountains and forests, and there are some ghosts and goblins, they all eat people, you should be careful when collecting medicine."
Xu Mu'e smiled confidently:
"Don't worry, if those demons and monsters meet me, they can only be considered unlucky. Don't forget, I'm a demon slayer. ”
Ah Lu nodded, relieved, and then proposed:
"I'm familiar with the environment around here, so let me lead the way. The mountain forest to the north is rumored to be infested with monsters, and those medicine pickers dare not go, there must be a lot of good medicinal materials in it. ”
Xu Mu'e said: "Okay, then let's go now." ”
Then she and Ah Lu both put on their backs and set off towards the mountains and forests in the north, Jiang Yi thought about it and followed.
