Chapter Twenty-Seven: King Wen's Sword (text)

Meng Changqing took out the box and opened it, and when I saw the contents inside, I looked at it for a long time.

All there were copper coins, brushes, cinnabar, yellow table paper and the like, and there was a beautifully carved gourd inside.

Meng Changqing looked at these things for a while, then closed the box and handed it to me and said, "Sure enough, your grandfather is good at Taoism, and he is extremely powerful." ”

Grandpa knows Taoism, I have long been prepared for this, and I didn't feel surprised when I heard Meng Changqing say it, but asked indifferently: "How do you know that he is powerful?" ”

"The money sword we use is also known as the magic sword, which is divided into many kinds, the lowest specification of the seven-star magic sword is made of 21 copper coins, the Dayan magic sword is made of 49 pieces, the Wenwang magic sword is made of 81 pieces, and the highest specification of the Qiankun magic sword is made of 108 pieces, the higher the Taoist attainment, the higher the specification of the magic sword used, your grandfather is made of 81 copper coins."

"I can also make it with 108 pieces, what's the effect? It's just up to me if I'm willing to do it, and it's not a problem if I'm willing to make one out of a thousand. ”

Meng Changqing smiled faintly when he heard this, looked at the sun in the sky and saw that the sun had set, turned around and said: "When the time comes, you won't say that, magic swords are different from handicrafts, you can make models, can you build cars?" ”

After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he walked to the bottom of the village, and I quickly closed the door and chased after the box.

When he went down, Meng Changqing had already put on his robe, and when he was wearing a tiara, he beckoned me to come to Xiaoxiao, and at night, the two of us couldn't leave him half a step, and what happened last night was a warning.

I didn't have anything to do with myself, but I was afraid that something would happen to Xiaoxiao, so I hurriedly went to the villager's house to pick Xiaoxiao over.

It was not yet dark, and the villagers were still outside, and they had to work in the fields during the day, and only at night they had time to chat.

During the chat, they saw that Meng Changqing had already begun to sit there and guard, so they came over and asked Meng Changqing if they were going back to the house at this time.

Meng Changqing said that there was no need for this time, they listened to Meng Changqing and chatted around Meng Changqing again, this time there were many people who wanted to introduce Meng Changqing to the object, but they waved their hands and refused, the villagers saw that Meng Changqing was thirty years old, and they really liked Meng Changqing, and they were worried that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, so they persuaded him: "Even if you are a Taoist priest, you have to marry your own son, you look at Zhang Shike, there is not even a person who wears filial piety when he dies." ”

When I heard this, I immediately replied: "Master, if you die, Xiaoxiao and I will give you filial piety." ”

Xiaoxiao also hummed when she heard this, and nodded her head.

As soon as I finished speaking, Meng Changqing looked back at me, smiled and said, "You are really filial. ”

I smiled and thought I had said something nice, but when I looked at the villagers' eyes, I immediately put away my smile and closed my mouth.

After that, Meng Changqing turned his head and said to the villagers: "There are Taoist priests who are monks, and there are Taoist priests who are at home, I have become a monk and cannot marry, thank you for your kindness." ”

"It's still vulgar, I'll introduce you to one if it's still vulgar, I guarantee that you are satisfied, and the kid born is chubby."

Meng Changqing saw that these villagers were more anxious than himself, so he could only helplessly explain: "It's not a matter of whether I marry or not, it's just that I deal with ghosts all year round, and for so many years, I have offended countless ghosts, and if they can't retaliate against me, they will find people around me, and now I can still protect them, but what if I get old?" Do I want to watch them sick and tormented by ghosts? If it weren't for the lack of choice, I wouldn't even accept Ye Hai, an apprentice. ”

The villagers were silent when they heard this, but I was dumbfounded, Meng Changqing usually seemed to be indifferent, coming and going freely, but I didn't expect that there were so many worries hidden in my heart.

It's also relieved to think about it, even an honest person like grandpa can hide so many secrets, why can't Meng Changqing.

After being silent for a while, the villagers became worried about Meng Changqing's future path, and some persuaded him not to be a Taoist priest, and to marry a man with peace of mind.

Meng Changqing smiled and didn't say anything about it, just asked the villagers to go home now, and then help him catch a few cats, he has to solve the matter of the baby spirit tonight, and he will go to my grandfather tomorrow.

Although the villagers were very interested in Meng Changqing, they valued their lives more seriously, and went home one after another to take out the cat in the house and hand it to Meng Changqing.

Meng Changqing tied the cat separately around us, and used it to lure the baby spirit for a while.

When he came back, I asked, "Master, can't you really marry?" ”

"It's your business again, if you're fine, teach your little girlfriend to meditate, and teach her the Eight Great Divine Mantras by the way."

I touched my nose and had no choice but to do what he said.

She will do whatever I ask Xiaoxiao to do, and she has absolute trust in me now.

I asked Xiaoxiao to sit in the same position as I sat cross-legged, and she sat down after two attempts, then squinted her eyes and asked me if I was right, and then taught her the Eight Great Divine Spells after I said it was right.

Meng Changqing sat there and looked back at the two of us from time to time, and after looking at it for a while, he asked me to take out the brush in my grandfather's box, and although I didn't know what he was going to do, I did it.

After taking it out, he took the brush and pinched it, let me see it clearly and then learn how to pinch the brush, I didn't understand what to do with this, so I asked, "Do you want to teach me to write?" ”

"Teach you how to draw talismans." Meng Changqing replied succinctly.

I listened to the interest soared, busy learning his gesture and pinched the brush, as for Xiaoxiao, she kept looking at us when we were talking, Meng Changqing also noticed her, smiled and said: "Little girl, learn hard, I will teach you spells when the time comes." ”

I secretly said that it was unfair again, but it was okay, who made him the master.

After that, the three of us sat here in a triangle, and the cats kept barking around, which made people feel terrified.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, even the cats had laid down to sleep, and I thought that the infant spirit would not come, when suddenly there was a clattering sound of walking on the side of the village.

At first, we thought it was the infant spirit coming, Meng Changqing hurriedly asked us to keep quiet, but after a while, nothing appeared here, Meng Changqing also felt puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly got up and ran towards the place where Uncle Zhang's body was placed.

Less than half a minute after he left, the cats around us began to scream, scurrying around the rope in the radius and the center of the rope, bent on escaping there.

When I heard this voice, my nerves were already tense. Xiaoxiao stayed where she was because she was afraid, staring and looking around.

During the period, he asked me what it was.

I told her not to be afraid, and Master will be back in a moment.

As we were talking, a small head suddenly popped out from behind the tree in front of us, grinning at us.

The little head came out and smiled at us, then pounced on the tethered cat, grabbed the cat and sent it directly into the mouth, the cat screamed and stopped moving, and he continued to tear it on the cat with his teeth.

After a few tears, he made a cat-like sound at us, he didn't know how tall he was, at most fifty centimeters, he looked like a normal baby, but he did something so weird.

I saw him walking towards us, Meng Changqing was not here at this time, our only choice was to escape, and the complaint at this time was that Meng Changqing did not teach me Taoism earlier.

Seeing him coming, I immediately picked up Xiaoxiao and ran to the house next to me, and after only two steps, the cat's meow had already reached my back.

Seeing him so fast, I thought I couldn't run away, so I stopped directly, turned around and protected Xiaoxiao behind me, and then motioned for her to run quickly with my hand.

The baby was less than three meters away from me at this moment, and he stopped when he saw me stop.

I panicked and shouted Master, but no one answered.

I saw that no one helped me this time, so I had to solve it by myself, thought about it, and according to Meng Changqing's general routine, I tried to put away the frightened expression on my face and replaced it with an expression that I thought was the strictest.

But as soon as this expression was made, the baby who was standing suddenly rushed towards us, and in an instant, another white figure appeared in front of us, blocking us.

This figure is Li Yan, I didn't expect her to appear at this time.

As soon as Li Yan appeared, she turned her head and let us go first, I thought to myself that Li Yan has been a ghost for so many years, this baby has become like this, Li Yan should be able to beat him.

After Li Yan said that, I asked her to be careful, and then I took Xiaoxiao to the nearby villager's house.

The villagers had already heard the voice, and they were waiting for us when we went, and as soon as we entered, they closed the door again.

Before I could catch my breath after entering the house, Xiaoxiao asked me, "What was that just now?" ”

When I saw that she had become calmer than I had when she entered the house, I wanted to scare her, so I said, "Ghost, man-eating ghost." ”

She just sighed, but didn't say anything.

I then thought about it, she follows the second grandmother every day, and she sees no fewer ghosts than me, and I want to use ghosts to scare her, which is a bit too naΓ―ve.

The villagers arranged us on chairs, quietly listening to the movement outside, there were bursts of cat meows outside, but I couldn't hear Li Yan's voice, and when I was worried that something had happened to Li Yan, I saw Meng Changqing rushing to this side through the crack in the door, I shouted to him He ignored it and ran directly to the place where we were sitting before.

Less than half a minute had passed, and there was a burst of cat screams, similar to the sound of the cat when the infant spirit tore the cat to pieces.
