Chapter 33: Ten Thousand Runes
The east is gradually shining brightly, and a new day is coming, smelling the fresh air in the morning, making people feel refreshed, but it is not enough to wake up from their grief, Xiao Yuyu's funeral is arranged by Lao Liu Tou, according to Lao Liu Tou, these people in the troupe are homeless and poor, Xiao Yuyu is naturally no exception, no matter how beautiful you are in life, after death is just a handful of loess, but these people in the troupe, that is, such a handful of loess has no place to buried.
But Lao Liu Tou remembered Xiao Yuyu's hometown and was going to transport her back to her hometown for burial, and the matter was resolved in this way, as for the matter of the village chief's house singing and suppressing ghosts, it naturally calmed down, after all, Ma Wulang's side has been dealt with, Ma'an Village, I'm afraid there will be no more strange things like this in the future.
The guys of the troupe were loaded in five big carriages, and then Lao Liu Tou was responsible for leading the way, while Xiao Yuyu's body was swept in a piece of broken grass and placed in it, as for which carriage it was in, no one knew, so naturally he couldn't ask.
Master and Ma Village Chief they just watched Lao Liu Tou leave, I unconsciously sent Lao Liu Tou to the outside of the village, somehow, I have an inexplicable worry, worried that after this time, I will never see Lao Liu Tou again, it seems that in reality is also the same reason, until two or three miles outside the village, Lao Liu Tou stopped, turned his head to look at me, and smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to beckon me over, I was excited, tears almost flowed out.
The calloused palm gently patted my shoulder, Lao Liu's eyes were also a little red, silently, silently took out his dry tobacco pouch out, handed it to me with both hands, lowered his head and said: "We don't have anything valuable, I know that your kid has taken a fancy to this, so I'll give it to you, we are not all the way, but if you can remember that our two have this friendship in the future, then we also have a comfort in our hearts, go ahead...... The seventh day of the first month. ”
I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, I reached out and wiped a handful of tears, gently stroked the dry tobacco pole with one hand, and then nodded heavily: "Well, Grandpa Liu, the seventh day of the first month will never forget you." ”
Lao Liu Tou smiled with tears in his eyes, didn't say anything, turned his head and walked ahead, just like that, I held the dry tobacco stick and watched them go away little by little, until they were blocked by the woods in front of me and completely disappeared from my sight.
I touched the small cloth bag hanging under the dry tobacco stick, and suddenly smiled, Lao Liu Tou was full of a pack of tobacco, I looked at the direction where Lao Liu Tou disappeared again, and said silently in my heart: "If I miss you, just smoke a bag of cigarettes......
When I returned to the house of the village chief, I saw that the gate of their courtyard was full of people, a few older generations of people held their hands and smiled honestly, muttering I don't know what they were saying, but a few middle-aged women laughed from time to time, I listened closely, only to understand the reason, it turned out that Ma Goro woke up early in the morning, and when he woke up, he shouted thirsty and hungry, and he pulled around, not even a cat urine, and when he went out, he couldn't even find a mouse hole, but all the places at the mouth of a well were blocked, and I was really happy to hear this, Silently happy for Ma Goro, the master finally saved him.
There are happier things to come, some people say that Ma Wulang looked for a water source and couldn't find it, so he went to the radish cellar to pick radishes to quench his thirst, but he picked up a small box, opened it and looked, it was full of white and bright loud sounds, there were thousands of pieces, no, Ma Wulang hid in the house and didn't come out, dare to be in the arms of Qian Mei, the so-called big fart can't cover the ground but can be spread five miles away, this great thing is spread in the village, just such a big effort, Some people say that Ma Golang's house has changed from a murderous house to a treasure house, and some people say that Ma Buzhi suppressed the atmosphere of that house back then, and now it has been cracked by the master like this, and the wealth is full of wealth, and the blessing is soaring, and it has become a very prosperous land, Ma Golang is trying to find a way to buy this house, no, the old matchmaker at the head of the village has gone to Ma Goro's house again......
Master was now sitting at the village chief's house, and when he saw me, the master got up and smiled at the village chief: "The bad guy has returned, so let's hurry here, now that your village is safe and sound, there is no need to be taboo in the future." ”
Village Chief Ma is doing everything possible to keep the master for a few more days, but I know that the master will never stay for a quarter of an hour longer, I am afraid that the delay of these two days has missed a lot of things, the master naturally declined, but the village chief Ma said, it is okay to go, so he immediately asked his wife to prepare some dry food and water, and handed it over to us to bring, this master did not refuse, after all, along the way we do need dry food to spare to satisfy hunger, presumably those who go to the end of the world with two sleeves and a breeze can only be living immortals who do not eat grains, In the end, Village Chief Ma took a small cloth bag and stuffed it into the master's pocket, and this clear-eyed man knew what it was at a glance.
Of course, the master will not accept it, but the village chief Ma immediately led the whole family to kneel in front of the master, if he did not accept it, the family will not be able to kneel, the master is stubborn, so he has no choice but to accept it, so, the village chief Ma is full of joy to send us out of the village, when approaching the entrance of the village, Ma Wulang is a conscience to catch up, without saying a word, kneeling on the ground head-on to the master kowtowed a few times, and then held a big burden in both hands, the master asked in surprise what this is, Ma Wulang bowed his head a little shyly and said:" It's not that the marriage didn't work out, and the family originally bought the banquet materials and didn't use them, anyway, there are a lot of them, and we are naturally not blessed to suffer so much when we are single, if we don't dislike it, we will eat it on the way, and it can be regarded as a piece of our mind. ”
Master immediately shook his head with tears and laughter: "Your luck has just been smooth, there will be many opportunities in the future, we have brought a lot of food, you can share these with everyone." ”
I didn't think that as soon as these words came out, Ma Wulang was in the same posture as the village chief Ma before, and he couldn't kneel down, the master was stunned for a moment, and then said to me and Bu Yique with a smile: "Then you can bring it, alas!" ”
After appreciating the simplicity of the villagers of Ma'an Village, we finally left, just as I had sent Lao Liu Tou before, the village chief Ma and Ma Wulang stood at the head of the village and watched for a long time, until I turned around and could no longer see them, and I guess they should go back now.
The primary purpose now is naturally to go to Tongyao Town to find the Nine Old Immortal Capital Junyin, but there is a big problem when we get out of Ma'an Village, where should we find Tongyao Town, looking for a small town in a vast province, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but the master doesn't seem to be too embarrassed, because Bu Yi laughed nervously, and said: "Yang Daochang, now is the time for me to exert my residual heat." ”
After speaking, Bu Yique carefully reached into the pocket of his underwear, and slowly took out something wrapped in a yellow cloth, the appearance was a big round and flat, and I was happy before he opened it: "Yique, what is this?" Oh yes, the purpose you have with us is to use your treasure of the town and mountain to help us find the location of Tongyao Town, then...... Is the bread here a Wanfu plate? ”
Bu Yique smiled and said, "That's natural, you must know that if I didn't help you and Yang Daochang, Master wouldn't let me take his baby pimple to wander around!" ”
I heard it and immediately became interested, busy waiting for Bu Yique to open, a moment, only to see a strange large disc appeared in front of my eyes, on it is actually carved with dense golden small characters, said to be small characters I can't see another one clearly, see clearly I don't understand what the word is, because I have never seen such a font, by the way, this is the ten thousand rune disk, then it should be the symbol of the spell, no wonder I don't understand.
This 10,000-rune disk is bronze-colored, the edges are somewhat worn, and there are black imprints in the symbol of the rune, and the interesting thing is that this big circle is surrounded by a small circle, and it is closed one by one, until the center point of the 10,000-rune disk, I can't count it, and I don't know how many circles, in short, it is not less than a few dozen circles, maybe hundreds of circles......
Not only that, but there are also spacer lines in this circle, as if they can slide between each circle, Bu Yi is missing a treasure in his hand, and when he saw me looking straight at the ten thousand rune plates, he immediately showed them: "This ten thousand runes are called ten thousand runes, in fact, there are only nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine runes in it, only one is less than ten thousand, there are a total of ninety-nine layers inside and outside, starting from the innermost circle, there are nine runes, and each big circle, there will be one more rune, and so on, you must know the runes on this, But it's slightly better than that compass, the compass is only fifty-two circles at most, each circle is distinguished by more than 300 small grids, and the whole has to cooperate with the ten ways of Tianxin to use it freely, and the direction on the ten thousand runes is replaced, such as one of the runes. It is Paul's twenty-eight constellations and the corresponding geographical five elements, as well as the five elements of the five elements of everything carried, and every sigil on it absorbs the purest and purest aura between heaven and earth all the time, here is the rune spirit, if you want to judge the location of a place, you only need to cast a spell to find the corresponding rune spirit, you can know it at a glance. ”
I scratched the back of my head and smiled, "Then you give me a test, where should we go next?" ”
Master also nodded at the right time, "If we don't determine the direction and route as soon as possible, we will waste more time." ”
Bu Yique immediately nodded and said, "Well, look at me." ”
After speaking, a scene that made me have a toothache appeared, only to see Bu Yique unceremoniously stretched out his fingers to bite through, sucked and sucked his mouth twice, and then gently dripped out a drop of blood in the center of the Wanfu disk, then I saw clearly, the center was a pit full of fine holes, but a drop of blood dripped down, those fine holes did not absorb half a point, Bu Yique immediately shook off the posture and raised his left hand, and then pinched out his Dao finger, and covered the drop of blood below with the index finger and little thumb, and then he said urgently in his mouth: "Now the five elements and eight directions are true spirits!" ”
A yes or no spell was pronounced, and Bu Yi's missing finger suddenly reversed, and then said aloud: "Get up!" ”
I suddenly widened my eyes, only to see that the circle of runes turned on their own, and there was not even a trace of friction sound, with the rotation of the ten thousand rune disk, the drop of blood on the center point gradually decreased, until it dissipated without a trace, Bu Yique held the ten thousand rune plate with one hand, whispering something in his mouth, it seemed to be very focused, and it was very troublesome, and after a while, he was sweating profusely, his face was red, just when I was suspicious, Bu Yique suddenly read out loud: "Hugh! Stop! Stop! ”
As soon as the word "Hugh" stopped, the ten thousand runes immediately stopped rotating, and what was surprising was that the blood that had been dripping on the center point before was actually fused on a series of runes, I really don't understand how the blood walked, looking at this shape like a road map, the master on the side immediately nodded and said: "Well, the twenty-four mountains are going to the Qianshan to the fifteen mountains of the mountains, and there is still a long way to go!" ”
Master confused me with a bite of this mountain and that mountain, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, how are we going now?" ”
Bu Yique preemptively spoke: "First go to the northwest, meet the land of mountains and rivers on the way, and travel about one hundred and fifty miles to the north, Yang Daochang, what is the landscape referred to on the rune?" ”
The master pondered for a moment and said: "I have also traveled to Shanxi in my early years, and I still have some memories of the mountain and water qi, hundreds of miles north of the river should be a river of the Hutuo River, well, yes, there is a place to play the mountain, which is the origin of this river, but this river has many branches, the size can be ignored, but there is a small branch river hidden in the mountains I have heard of, but I am afraid that people here do not know much." ”
"Oh?" I asked curiously, "What river has you never heard of even here?" ”
Master's face was slightly solemn, and said: "That river is not an ordinary river, in the eyes of the locals, it is called '** river', but in the eyes of Taoists, it is called 'white ape river', not because white apes grow there, but it is said that the river connects the qi veins of the two worlds of yin and yang, not only the corpse chasers in the yang world walk in the meantime, and there are many strange and ghostly things, it is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there were flying zombies, which are unusual and unusual, I just hope that the place where we are going is not there!" ”
Flying stiff? I was even more curious: "Master, what is a flying zombie?" ”
Master glared at me coldly and said, "Flying zombie is a kind of zombie, it's not too early, hurry up!" ”
"Oh......" I looked down and stuck out my tongue, in fact, I wanted to ask what the zombie was
