Chapter Seventy-Three: The New Master
"After the death of Zanghua, I will follow the rules of the Central Plains to build a mound of clothes and clothes for her clothes and commonly used things, and the piano and the piano score will also be buried together - the cup of snow has stopped and the clouds have been sleeping in the ground since then."
Shu Hai ignored her and continued: "But Zanghua is the daughter of Southern Xinjiang after all, so I took the body back to Wushan for burial according to her last wishes, made the human skin into a drum according to the local rules, and put the flesh and blood into the Gu pool, and stayed in Wushan to learn Gu art for a long time from then on. β
The customs of the Southern Wastelands are very different from those of the Central Plains, and Xue Heyuan knows a little, but he didn't expect the difference to be so big.
The Central Plains funeral pays attention to entering the soil for safety, treating death as life, and the remains and bones are intact, so that the deceased can die with dignity. The people who raise Gu in the Southern Wilderness believe that the soul of the deceased will eventually return to the mountains and forests, turn into wind, rain, birds and beasts and return to their relatives; The physical body should be returned to the Gu God to nourish the new life. Therefore, there is a local custom to take a certain part of the deceased's body to make utensils and carry it with you, in order to show the meaning of eternal companionship and never abandonment.
Although this love story ended tragically, Xuehe did not feel sad at this time, but felt that death did not separate them, but that the two remained together and did not separate.
"Do you think I'm too perverted and don't want to deal with me?" Shu Hai saw that she didn't speak for a long time, and asked with a wry smile.
"Nope!"
Xue He shook his head vigorously, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Although I thought the human skin drum was cruel at first, I feel very warm now!" β¦β¦ Moreover, if the teacher knows, she will definitely be very happy! This is probably a kind of companionship that is incomprehensible to the Central Plains people. β
Shu Hai nodded and said with a smile: "Before I met Zanghua, I also stubbornly believed that Gu art was evil art, and the people who practiced Gu were all demons, and they were treacherous and murderous people - it wasn't until I actually set foot on the land of Wushan that I realized that I was wrong." β
Xue He held his cheek with one hand, tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "I dare to say that when Master was an immortal in the Central Plains, the painting style was definitely not what it is now!" β
"Oh, I was serious at that time."
Shu Hai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "When your master was here, I often praised me for being a well-dressed beast. β
"Hahaha!"
Xue He laughed for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Master, when I die, you can make my skin into a human skin drum and give it to Qin Bai!" β
"What?"
Xue He sighed and said, "I don't think I will have any good results with him, if he can't let go of me...... Then leave him a memory. β
"You're delusional!"
Shu Hai chirped: "Who dares to fight the idea of the skin of labor and management!" I'm going to tell him to die at once! Go to the Netherworld and discuss this again! β
"Gadget!"
"It's a small device!"
The master and apprentice were talking and laughing, seeing that the sky was already shining slightly, and there was a roaring sound of horses' hooves overhead, thinking that the fourth brother had already arrived on horseback.
After a while, I saw a group of people approaching. Xue Yun couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Shu Hai's true body, and then knelt down and called him "master".
The fox beside her was stunned for a moment when she saw it, and then looked up at the cup of snow in front of Shu Hai, so she guessed in her heart, and saluted respectfully towards Shu Hai with everyone.
"Master Xiaohuan, then you can change something else and send it to me."
Xue He took the opportunity to say again.
Shu Hai guessed that she was going to beg for the piano, so he waved his hand and said, "This piano is an old thing from the old people, so I can't give it away." β
Xue He flattened his mouth and laughed at himself:
"I'm an 'eagle catches chicken' contestant, and I have to make a cut when I touch the strings, what do I ask it to do? Give favors? β
Knowing that she was alluding to herself, her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Do you want a sheet music to be useful?"
Shu Hai took the book and shook it in front of her: "This thing was originally sealed in the tomb, and it was already extremely yin; In addition, in order to practice, she has absorbed a lot of living souls and undead souls, and this body is angry, I am afraid that you will be in trouble as soon as you take it out of the valley. β
"Anyway, my fourth brother has a lot of skills, and this little trouble can still be suppressed." Xue He deliberately glanced at the fox, and the fox turned his face to the side in a very unnatural way.
Shu Hai still held the score in his hand, and said: "This score is a rare thing in the world, and she is also a creator." If you want her, she's going to be with you. β
"It's easy to do!"
When Xuehe heard this, he said to Zhuyun: "I not only have a way to help you wash away this resentment, so that the heavenly officials and ghosts have no reason to arrest you, but also let you go wherever you want in the future, and you don't have to hide in this cave that does not see the light of day, are you willing?" β
"Hey, as a master, I think it's necessary to remind you: bragging, being struck by lightning."
Xue He walked around the crowd with his hands behind his back, and deliberately stood in front of the fox, seeing him frowning, he subconsciously pulled Zhiyun behind him.
"I really have a way!"
Xue He said: "Didn't my brothers come to Mobei this time just to borrow troops from the Tatars? Tartars have always been greedy for money, and as long as there is gold, there is nothing that cannot be done. β¦β¦ Am I right? β
Pu Lao nodded: "The problem is that there is no gold." β
"She has."
Xue He looked at Xue Yun with a smile: "We don't take advantage of you, we will take advantage of you, just take it as a loan, and the written note will be completed, and we will definitely pay you back when the time comes." β
"Apprentice, you are very shrewd in your calculations!"
Without waiting for Zhiyun to speak, Shu Hai joked with a smile: "Let the family use their own money to redeem themselves, and in the end, you will be a whole person!" Tut-tut......"
"Phew! You old monster! Back then, you buried people in the grave! Otherwise, where does the yin qi come from? Xue He glared at his waist and said: "What a good object with aura, it has become a spiritual weapon for some reason!" You just care about yourself, and you are also responsible for them going astray? β
"Me?"
Shu Hai was inexplicably wonderful: "When I buried things in it, there was no such thing!" Maybe it was a tomb robber who made a hole and sneaked into the tomb and poured a breath of yang energy into it to become a jing? β¦β¦ I was in Wushan at that time! 108,000 miles away! Where do I know where to go?! You can really shake this pot! β
He couldn't help but interrupt: "Does it make sense for you to dwell on this now? β
"Well, well, it doesn't matter."
Xue He blinked, turned his face to Xue Yun: "Then are you willing to help us?" β
Xue Yun glanced at the fox quickly and nodded:
"Yes. Most of the gold and silver were left by bandits and monsters, and they were not mine; And then there's the soul I left behind with the snow in the snow, so if you need it, just take it. β
When he heard this, he was also very affectionate: "When the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks." β
Xue Yun's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and whispered, "...... Between you and me, you're welcome. β
Xue He proudly stretched out his hand to Shu Hai and trembled: "Can you give it to me now?" β
"Your logical ......"
Shu Hai twisted his eyebrows and said: "She is willing to help your fourth brother find a Tartar to borrow soldiers, what does it have to do with you asking for piano scores?" β
"Nonsense! If you don't give it to me, won't you want to keep them and continue to harm people here? β
"Then I'll give it to you, let you take it out and hurt people everywhere?"
Xue He didn't bother to grind with him anymore, and said angrily: "Do you want to give it or not?!" β
"Give! I didn't say no! β¦β¦ Take it. β
Shu Hai immediately obediently handed the score to her. - If she continues to fight, I'm afraid she will shout for death again.
Xue He smiled proudly and carefully tucked the score into his arms.
"Huh? Snow Girl...... This? β
Raised his eyebrows - shouldn't he just give it to me?
"Think beautifully!"
Xue He glanced at him: "If you relapse from your old illness one day and want to speak so fast, won't she be bullied to death by you?" β
As he spoke, he looked at Xue Yun again: "If he doesn't treat you well, I will find a good family for you!" Besides, whether they succeed or not, it has nothing to do with us! You don't have to tie everything to them, we'll just take care of ours! β
Zhiyun knew that she was pitying herself, but she didn't expect to be so thoughtful at such a young age, and she was full of gratitude and thanked again and again.
"Here you go."
Xue He took Xue Yun's hand, forcibly pulled her away from the fox, took her to the master, pointed to the piano and said:
"Although it's not Heavenly Silk, my master is the original owner after all, and the strings he personally continued are naturally better than mine."
When the clouds came closer, he was surprised and delighted to see that the strings had been restored to their original state.
"Follow my master after a cup of snow, you can rest assured."
"That's nature."
"But apprentice."
Shu Hai suddenly said: "It's naturally okay to give you the piano score, but you don't have mana on your body, it's okay to meet a heavenly official outside, but if you meet a ghost, I'm afraid you will have to suffer." β
"It's all my sins, so I'll pay for them myself." Xue Yun also said.
"You don't have to worry about me!"
Xue He smiled and comforted her: "If I am bullied, naturally my brothers will be angry for me!" If you really want to suffer, my master will be the first to be unlucky! See if my aunt can spare him? That's why I'm not afraid. β
Shu Haiqi knot: "What kind of heart do you have here!" β
"Alright! You'd better go with my brothers! If you miss their big things, you have to think about them endlessly! β
Xue Yun answered, and took everyone to the cave to get gold and silver property.
Money is the stepping stone to doing things in the mortal world, and everyone was in high spirits when they heard that there was gold, only Jun Qi asked Xue Yun for a secluded room and settled Qin Bai first.
When Xuehe saw Qin Bai again, he was still unconscious. Then, even Junyi followed to count his belongings, and sure enough, except for Xue He, no one would care about his life and death.
Xue He sat on the edge of the bed, held his hand, and said nothing.
Shu Hai put away his Gu technique, put on the little old man's skin again, and sat cross-legged on the table. The piano was in the case, and the cup of snow stood behind him with her hands down, but her eyes kept glancing out of the doorβoutside there was a noisy noise of people carrying the gold in the cave.
"Are you worried about money or people?" Shu Hai asked lukewarmly.
Mu Xue was startled, panicked and came back to his senses, lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
