Chapter 2: Mysterious Weapons
Mu Youjing, who usually pants when he walks two steps, doesn't know what's going on, but tonight he is very energetic, and he doesn't even feel any special pain in his arm that was bitten through by the big snake's fangs, is the big tonic pill working? Soon dragged Mu Sanye for more than half of the distance.
Walking and walking, hey, why is it so much brighter? Mu Youjing looked up, but the clear glow of the moon did not leak, and there were no lights in the nearby people. Unconsciously staring forward, Mu Youjing was stunned by the spectacular scene in front of him, it was the direction of Mu Sanye's house, it was the tall old banyan tree that emitted a faint blue and white light, like a thin veil that went straight to the sky, although the amplitude was not large, but it was enough to illuminate most of the village, is this the aurora? This blue-and-white light swayed with the breeze and radiated towards the skyγγγγγγ
Mu Youjing has never seen such a beautiful scenery, if there is a beautiful woman on the side to feast on this fairyland on earth, it is really a long wave. By the way, hurry up and take two photos with your phone! was about to take out his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, "Hehe, don't bother, what you can't shoot with your weak mobile phone, even if you do, it's just a lump of white light, nothing special." "Mu Sanye didn't know when he woke up. Mu Youjing didn't believe it, "Click! "I can definitely do it with this clicking camera, after taking a look, sure enough, Mu Youjing was disappointed, how can this circle of friends be postedγγγγγγ
"What's this? What happened to that big snake just now? The ancestral hall is all destroyed, why is no one here to make such a big commotion? "Mu Youjing has a question mark on his stomach, and it's a little hot.
"Let me pick it up first, and then help me go back." Mu Sanye doesn't care what temper you have.
The big banyan tree grows in the middle of the road that must be taken out of the village. Thanks to the leadership of the party and the country, the village has been paved with cement roads in recent years. When the road was paved, there was a quarrel over the tree. The younger faction felt that it would be too much of a nuisance to cut down the tree, and it was prone to accidents, but to this day, there have been no traffic accidents here, and it is very smooth; The older generation represented by Mu Sanye resolutely objected, thinking that it was a sacred tree and could not be cut, and Mu Sanye even thought that this tree belonged to his family, and whoever cut it was responsible. In the end, no one dared to touch the old banyan tree, mostly because they were afraid of offending the gods, and more things were better than less.
Mu Sanye's home is under the old banyan tree, mud bricks and green tiles, mud brick walls enclose a small courtyard, although it can not be compared with the cement high-rise buildings in the village now, but it is neat and chic, the hall has two square platforms, one is against the wall, the wall is pasted with Taishang Laojun for it, there are a few yellow charms that I don't know what is written, there are incense burners on the stage, tea and wine and other worship utensils; Another square table is placed in the center, and the old bridge stools are placed on all four sides, which is the dining table.
"Bring the teapot over there." Mu Sanye commanded. Mu Youjing took the teapot from the main platform, and Mu Sanye poured a bowl for himself and another bowl for Mu Youjing.
Mu Youjing took a sip and almost squirted out, "Third master, what kind of water is this?" β
"O holy water of God!"
"I'm going, what does it smell like, how long has this water been?"
"It's been a month." Ki Youkyo was about to vomit. "This is my secret divine water, didn't you swallow a bucket-sized snake gall just now, drink this bag and you are refreshed!" When Mu Youjing heard this, he was indeed very thirsty, so he barely drank a few sips.
"What the hell is going on?" Mu Youjing fixed his mind and asked.
"Bring me my hookah." Mu Sanye called again, but Mu Youjing couldn't do it, so he had to hand it over. Mu Sanye took it, pinched a small handful of tobacco and put it on the smoking gun, wiped the mouth of the barrel, lighted it a little, and slowly smoked it.
"I put up an enchantment all around the ancestral hall, how did you get in?"
"Enchantment? Do you know how to spell? There is such a big movement below, the house has collapsed, I can't go down to take a look! β
"You can also see the light of the banyan tree?"
"That's not nonsense."
"It seems like your blood is much more effective than mine."
"What does that mean?"
Mu Sanye was silent for a while. "That big snake is not a snake demon, and my yellow talisman has no effect at all."
"Isn't this nonsense? After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we will have no demons and ghosts, you are still a teacher, I don't understand this! β
"Everything I do is a custom to keep one side safe, do you understand? Do you understand? It's local culture! It is to be protected, and one day it may still be an intangible cultural heritage! "Mu Sanye is obviously quite resentful.
"That snake should have been subdued and suppressed by our ancestors, and it belongs to ancient creatures, but this snake does not look like it is recorded in ancient books, it may be a foreign thing!" "What? Do you mean alien creatures? β
"Do you know why the media in American Canada is so opposed to Trump?" "I don't know!"
"Because he's an alien." "What?"
"Do you know why Laxi is still so chattering and unwilling after losing the election?" "I don't know!"
"Because he's an alien." "What?"
"Do you know why Trump is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement?" "I don't know!"
"Because he's an alien." "What?"
"Do you know why Trump wants to build the Great Wall on the border of the country?" βSummer is comingοΌβ
"Because he's an alien." "What?"
"Have you seen the American drama "Kill a Dawn", they killed a lot of aliens, and their identities were exposed." "Pondering!"
γγγγγγ
"You mean aliens have invaded Earth a long time ago?" "It's fair to say, but it's not accurate, it should be that they have already integrated into us."
γγγγγγ
"Are you an alien?" "It's your uncle!" "Third master! Third Master! β
γγγγγγ
"Alright! It's cool enough, let's go to the banyan tree! β
It was late at night, the cool breeze was blowing, the wind had blown away the mist, the moon was shining, and the ground was like a layer of mercury. The blue and white light emitted by the old banyan tree illuminates the nearby scenery clearly.
"How does this shine? Where is the luminary? How does it work? Mu Youjing looked up at this big tree carefully, and felt that everything in the world was really strange.
"You're finally here!" Suddenly, from behind the tree came a sound like a bell, full of confidence. Mu Youjing was startled, but the third master was very calm.
It turned out that there were already several people standing on the other side of the tree, also watching. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty-nine, by the moonlight, Mu Youjing saw clearly, except for a young man who couldn't recognize it, the others were all Taoist workers who presided over the township year in several townships of Dajing Town. Every year in the first month of the year, Kiyoto will go to visit relatives and friends in various places, and he is so familiar with these faces that he likes to watch their juggling rituals, especially the kung fu martial arts in front of the burning boat, which is very interesting. Oh, by the way, there's also a ballad that sings them, "Nine Taoist workers, drink soju every day, drive cattle during the day, and kill wolf dogs at nightγγγγγγ β
"The third child, who is this offspring? Why did you bring an outsider here? It was Li Daxia, the Taoist worker in the town, who spoke out, ranking first among the nine Taoist workers. I saw that his square face was full of wrinkles, kind eyebrows, and a gray goatee, and at first glance, he felt that he was a respectable elder.
"Mu Youjing, the illiterate bastard behind Di Changtang, he can see the enchantment, I think he is afraid that he has opened the eye of heaven." Mu Sanye told you everything that happened just now.
"What?! He also swallowed the snake pill? Jiang Shangfei, a Taoist worker in Poshan Township, was surprised and dissatisfied with his words. The others also began to look at Mu Youjing carefully, looking up and down with doubts, chokes, and sighsγγγγγγ
"I think he might have something to do with tonight's events, so I brought him by the way, and maybe he is the owner of the thing on the tree." Mu Sanye understated.
"This can't be done, this thing should be wood water, a few of us have cultivated him for so long, and we will have to rely on him in the future, otherwise we won't be in vain!" The Taoist workers of Liuxiang Township are in a hurry. I'm afraid Mu Shui is talking about that young man.
"It doesn't matter, whoever is who's belongs to whom, the destiny of heaven returns, without it, our ancestors will not also guard one side for hundreds of thousands of years. So, let them try it out! "The leader Li Daxia is very open.
"Wait! I have something to say! Mu Youjing leaned over to the third master: "What the hell is it?" Treasure? Martial arts cheats? I didn't say I wanted it! β
"I don't know, it's a good thing anyway, it's been guarded by our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years." Mu Sanye spread his hands.
"Will it affect my future wife and drive a BMW?" βγγγγγγγβ
"I'm going to be a Taoist guy after I take it?" Mu Youjing didn't want to stay in the village as a Taoistγγγγγγ
"Daogong is not something you can do if you want to!" Mu Sanye was very proud in his words.
"What's the comparison?"
"Of course it's a fight!"
"Why don't we have a king pesticide, whoever wins will win." "Okay, good, goodγγγγγγ" Mu Shui hurriedly reconciled, with excitement on his face.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hit him! Show him what a real healthy young man looks like! Today's young people are so motherly! Daogong Kapok scolded.
Seeing this, Na Mushui immediately put on a posture and kicked over as soon as he flew over. Mu Youjing was caught off guard, and one stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Boss, save people! Boss, save people! β
Although Mu Youjing knew that Mu Shui would definitely scatter a few times, he didn't expect it to be so fierce, and one move would make him look for teeth all over the ground. That Mu Shui pulled up Mu Youjing, and punched him in the face, Mu Youjing couldn't dodge, and hit a fist cake. "Yikes! I'm going to go. "After a few rounds, Mu Youjing was beaten to the point that he couldn't find the north. Several Taoist workers watched the play with a smile, and Li Jianfeng, who was carrying the pond, even took out moon cakes and ate themγγγγγγ
"You kid really can't do anything, you can only use your survival instinct to deal with it, and force your instinct to come out!" Mu Sanye finally spoke up.
Instinct? Survival instinct? Doesn't that mean saying nothingγγγγγγ While hesitating, Mu Shui flew over with another shadowless foot of Foshan. "Boom!" When he got out, Mu Youjing rushed over and took Mu Shui's thighs and hugged him, pushing him forward, and finally pushed Mu Shui to the ground. Mu Shui didn't expect Mu Youjing to come with such a hand, and hit Mu Youjing on the back with an elbow, this elbow was not trivial, and Mu Youjing immediately rolled out in pain. There was another beating, but these rounds were not so painful, after all, there were some defensive blocks.
Mu Youjing thought to himself, it's not a way to go on like this, it's almost to the limit, you have to find a way to escape, escape instinct? Mu Youjing observed the surroundings, and Li Jianfeng, who was carrying the pond, took out the moon cakes and shared them with the workers, and he couldn't expect to call for help from themγγγγγγ
Mu Youjing took a look at the old banyan tree, and there it was! Mu Youjing climbed the old banyan tree in twos and threes, and the hand of climbing the tree is always in the line, Mu Youjing likes to swing on various trees when he is young, and he often swings on the tree to help pick lychee longan during the harvest season. "You have the ability to come up and fight! Whoever falls first loses! Ki Yukyo confidently challenged Kisui.
"It's a word, see what kind of demon you can be!" Mu Shui didn't take him seriously at all.
"Yo! 6666666666" This competition aroused the interest of Li Liu of Changsha Township.
Sure enough, although Mu Shui is good at kung fu and is skilled in the tree, he is far less flexible and light than Mu Youjing, Mu Youjing is moving and tumbling on the tree, but Mu Shui can't get close, so anxious that he is getting more and more angry, but there is nothing he can do. In this way, under the reflection of the blue and white beams, the figures of the two chased each other, which was both interesting and weird.
After a long chase, both sides were out of breath and tired. Mu Shui had a plan, and asked angrily towards Mu Youjing, "Mu Youjing, did your phone fall to the ground?" β
What about it? Something is wrong! Mu Youjing hurriedly jumped down from the tree, touched his pocket, and searched the ground again. If you break a mobile phone again, you won't be able to use it, how can you be the king of pesticides? How else do you post on Moments?
At this time, Mu Sanye came over with a hookah, "You idiot, didn't the phone have been kept here by me a long time ago!" β
"Ahh How dare you scorn me! "How? You've lost! Mu Shui triumphantly jumped off the tree.
The crowd burst out laughing.
"Go ahead and prepare!" Daoist Li Daxia gave an order, and everyone got busy. The eight people stood in eight directions around the banyan tree, and then groped on the ground, and Li Daxia jumped on the top of the tree and groped for it.
"Are you all right?" "Good!"
"Up!" The nine people pulled up the nine thorn trees at the same time, and the blue and white light suddenly became clearer!
"The seal is lifted! Third master, come on!" Mu Sanye jumped on the center of the trunk and took off the three yellow talismans, it turned out that a steel sword without a hilt was inserted in the center of the trunk, and the blue and white clear light was emitted through this swordγγγγγγ
"Mushui, it's your turn!" Mu Shui climbed to the same position again, ready to pull out the sword, but, it seems, Mu Shui tried for a while but did not succeed in pulling the sword out.
"Hurry up, don't rub it off! In addition to the seal, the barrier has also been broken, and it is almost dawn, and it will be discovered soon. "Daogong Kapok is a little anxious.
"No! I can't pull it out! "Mu Shui is anxious and nervous.
"It's not like I'm hungry and out of strength, let's have a piece of Wuren mooncake!" Taoist Li Jianfeng said with a smile, as if he wanted to take a moon cake.
"I have a Snickers!" Mu Youjing blurted out, Mu Sanye immediately glanced at him, and Mu Youjing quickly flashed aside.
"No, I really can't pull it out!" Mu Shui's tone was full of helplessnessγγγγγγ
γγγγγγ
They took turns trying again, but to no avail.
"I'll try it too!" After Mu Youjing finished speaking, he crawled over, stood firmly and learned the horse steps of Mu Sanye, "Wow! "Pulled out! Suddenly, the blue-and-white light also disappeared. "This thing is mine? Nothing special! Everyone was taken aback and fell silent.
Mu Youjing was about to jump off, but Mu Sanye stopped him, "Slow! Use the sword to slash down from the spot where it was drawn, taking care not to hurt too much. β
Mu Youjing chopped it up as instructed, and after a while, when he saw a rectangular box, he picked it up and jumped down.
"That's the most important thing! Let's go back to my room and get some rest. Mu Sanye greeted everyone.
Mu Shui carefully examined the sword, the edge was exposed, the cold light was shining, and a delicate dragon was carved on one side of the sword blade near the hilt, and a small tiger was sleeping on the other side of the sword blade, the image was realistic and very imposing.
Mu Youjing saw that Mu Shui seemed to like it very much, so he said, "If you like it so much, take it!" β
Mu Shui's eyes lit up, "You really don't want to?" β
"No, what are you doing? At most, 500+ pennants, what's the use? "What is the use of cold weapons, Mu Youjing wanted to laugh in his heart.
Xishan Township Road Worker Liang Baxi said: "Sure enough, it's a nerd." Knowing the origin of this sword, we worship the Bodhisattva Mrs. Xian Tai know, the Northern and Southern Dynasties led the Southern Barbarians to join the Sui Dynasty to unify China's heroines, our ancestors are the nine guards under the command of Mrs. Xian, followed Mrs. Xian in the southwest to subdue demons and subdue demons, to protect a side of water and soil, this sword is Mrs. Xian to our ancestors. Liang Baxi continued: "It's not easy. Why is Nanban called Nanban, a wild land, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, sparsely populated, and people have no fixed residence, so they have not accumulated any cultural heritage, which is like the Central Plains of Shenzhou, Wu, Chu and other places. Our ancestors were just ordinary cultivators who were trying to survive and make a living. Why is this so, in fact, ordinary snakes, insects, rats and ants are not terrible, but what is terrible is foreign things! Liang Baxi paused, "After Mrs. Xian returned to the imperial court, she took nine guards to cut down foreign things in the southwest area to create a peaceful environment for the southwest side, so Mrs. Xian is our bodhisattva, our godγγγγγγ "Liang Baxi, let's talk the storyγγγγγγγ
"Uncle Li, help me make a beautiful sword hilt another day." Mu Shui knew that Li Daxia had a good hand in carpentry.
"Good!" Daoist Li Daxia readily agreed.
Mu Youjing regretted it a little after knowing the origin, but the water that was spilled couldn't be recovered, so it was better to give it to their precious apprentice as a favor.
Mu Youjing is actually more concerned about what is in the box? When he was about to open the box, everyone gathered around, and they didn't know what was inside.
"Click!" The moment it was opened, everyone said, "Huh? "A bracelet? No, it's a bracer-like thing, with a black-iron appearance, dull, and a little heavy on the right hand. Mu Youjing was a little disappointed, it was not as good as that sword, and there were allusions and mighty γγγγγγ
"There's a button in the middle, press it!" Mu Shui said.
Mu Youjing was ready to press it, "Alas, alas, don't press it on me, in case of a hidden weapon or something, don't I want to take advantage of it?" Chen Jiuling, a Taoist worker in Muyuan Township, was a little flustered.
Mu Youjing pressed to the outside of the house! Wow! A blue display screen emerges from the middle, looking at distant objects, and in such night conditions, it is very clear, but the color of the object is missing.
"66666666666666" Changsha Township Daoist Li Liu slipped up again.
"This thing has been hidden on the banyan tree for a thousand or hundreds of years?" Mu Youjing found it incredulous.
"Yo, can you take pictures!" But after some research, nothing else was found. Just being able to see distant objects and take pictures?
"Stand still! I'll take a group photo with you! Mu Youjing said hello, and everyone actually took pictures with this mysterious weapon and got highγγγγγγγ
"Is there a preservation? Is there a preservation? β
"Can you wifi? Can it be Bluetooth? β
"Can't find it! Can't find it! β
"This isn't as good as my phone!"
γγγγγγ
"Mu Youjing, weren't you admitted to Yidu University?" After taking some pictures, Mu Sanye said formally, "I have a colleague who happens to open a medical center in Yidu, which is next to Water Street, it is easy to recognize, he is very knowledgeable, he may know how to use this thing, you take this magazine to him, he will understand." β
"Remember, don't get out of this thing in the future, keep it!" Mu Sanye told him again. "Let's go! Keep this a secret! Don't mention it to outsiders! I'll arrange the ancestral hall tomorrow! β
"Hou Shengzi, the beginning is no longer just a pair of hands, the well-being of mankind depends on you!" Daoist Li Daxia patted Mu Youjing on the shoulder. The rest of the crowd also smiled at Mu Youjing and dispersed.
On the way back, the rooster had already begun to crow, and by the afterglow of the moon, Mu Youjing glanced at the magazine that felt a little old and knew that it was a bit old, and it was written: Jiangmen Literature and Art, 79.
