Chapter Twenty-Three: Tying the Name Cloth
There was nothing to say at the moment, and two more days passed.
When it was time, You Wuxian went to the south gate of Anhua City with Master You. Master Jin really didn't break his promise, Master You had already arrived in advance, so Master Jin was even earlier.
Without superfluous polite words, he went straight to the point, and Master Jin first said: "Lao You, I already have a Master Tu here, and when the three of us go together, what do you think?"
Seeing that Master You waved his hand to express no opinion, he looked at You Wuxian and continued: "Okay, Master Tu is at the 'Master Station' in front, and most of the masters in Anhua City who are 'tied to the name cloth' are handed over there. It's just this kid~ I'm afraid it's better not to accompany him, right?"
You Wuxian didn't know that there was anything taboo here, so he whispered to Master You at the moment: "Master, I'll go with you to see it?"
Master You smiled: "It's okay for you to go and have a look." Master Jin, my apprentice should also be a master, is it okay to go and have a look?" Master Jin shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, and then the three of them stopped staying and went straight to the place the former said.
In fact, the destination is a tea shop, but the difference is that this tea shop only entertains "masters", and few ordinary people enter. You Wuxian looked at the façade, the plaque was written "Master's Station", the door was covered with a heavy curtain, and occasionally I saw one or two people dressed as masters, lifting the curtain and walking out.
The three of them then walked in. As soon as you enter, the light softens, and the windows on both sides are not too big or small, and the brightness is moderate. Master Jin looked at it for a while, only to see a person at a table inside waving to them, and then walked over.
The man got up from a distance and greeted Master You: "Master You, I am fortunate to be happy!" Thinking that Master Jin had already talked to him about Master You, Master You also politely hugged his fists, which was regarded as a greeting.
You Wuxian moved his neck from behind the master and glanced at this Master Tu. Huan Qi is not young, and his age should be between the same as the master. But his face was full of red light, and he didn't look old at all, and the more he looked at this person, the more familiar he became, and then he was stunned: Isn't this person the one who bumped into the teacher in the "Full Moon Building"?
Now Master Tu and Master Jin are all together, this team is really "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!~ I can't help but feel that this world is really small.
You Wuxian quietly looked away without a trace, and Master Tu didn't seem to recognize You Wuji, so he smiled and invited the three of them to take a seat. Let's talk about some nonsensical things first, and then let's cut to the chase.
Master Jin looked around and motioned for the other three to come to the table. I flipped out a roll of silk paper and opened it to see that it was a map.
He lowered his voice and said, "As Master Tu said, I marked the place where the spirit corpse is most likely to appear, here~" After speaking, he drew a piece of the map with his finger.
There is no name on the map, and it took a lot of effort for You Wuxian to understand. In my impression, this seems to be the southwest of the Unnamed Forest, which is close to the north of the Bodao Ridge and has penetrated deep into the interior of the Unnamed Forest!
You Wuxian couldn't help but be a little surprised, and suddenly remembered the danger that Lin Dart had encountered, and secretly worried. turned his head to look at the master, but saw Master You and Master Tu nodding their heads to say they had no opinion.
At this time, Master Tu said: "The source is absolutely reliable, but after a few days, maybe we will be in the past."
It is worth noting that it is close to Bodaoling, and there are often 'knife dendrobs' infested~ and it is a dense forest, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no strange things.
If it is done, (the soul beads) can be sold for three or four hundred taels if they are in good condition, and no matter how bad they are, they will have to exceed one hundred taels. At that time, the three of them will be divided equally! It's just that this 'cloth head' should be led by Tu, I don't know what the two of them think?"
Master You raised his eyebrows, not because of how powerful this 'cloth head' is, it's just a form, it doesn't matter who does it. The so-called leader of the cloth head is just that the people who generally make the cloth head are often the people with the deepest city government in the team.
Seeing Master Jin's noncommittal expression, Master You was slightly moved, and couldn't help but quietly look at Master Tu again. The mouth should be harmonious: "No problem!" The three of them are also masters of the arts, and they are not ambiguous at all.
Master Jin put away the map and said, "How about setting off overnight tonight?" Counting the time, it will dawn in three days. Seeing that the other two nodded, he turned sideways and shouted, "Little Er!"
Immediately, a guy came running over, Master Jin said a few words to him, and the guy walked away. After a while, he came over again, holding a yellow cloth and pen and ink in his hand, and after putting it down, he quietly retreated.
From his familiar movements, it seems that he has long been accustomed to this. Then Master Jin took out the Soul Destroying Thorn, divided the cloth into three, took a pen and wrote his name on each piece of cloth, and then moved it to Master You...
In this way, each piece of cloth has its own name and that of two other people. Then they each took a piece at random and tied it to the Demon God Mirror~
In this way, the ceremony of "tying the name cloth" is completed.
You Wuxian didn't come over to look at it without a trace, most of the masters who walked the rivers and lakes were reluctant to reveal their real full names, and no one would deliberately ask. It's like Huan Gong Mirror: you can call him "Master Huan Gong", or you can call him "Master Mirror". Unless someone in the know, like Ao Zhentian, will never know what Master You's name is.
After putting away the strips of cloth, Master Tu said: "Let's set off in three hours, let's get ready, and the meeting place is still at the south gate of the city." ”
After saying that, he threw a few coppers on the table, got up and walked away. Master You also took You Wuxian and left this master's post.
On the way back, You Wuxian asked this and that one vigorously, looking full of interest. Master You is also very patient to answer one by one.
Master Fu Demon has been destroying demons all his life, and the conditions for going south and north are very difficult. But if you're lucky enough to kill a spirit corpse to get a soul orb, you'll have to be entangled for years! "Tying the name cloth" is one of the products derived from this situation.
Master You also mentioned by the way that in fact, when he met You Wuxian for the first time, it was also a task to "tie up the famous cloth": that time, there was a mysterious person who entrusted Master Jin to go to Fengya Forest to deal with some things. The remuneration is very high, but the purpose is not clear, and only the "cloth head", that is, Master Jin, can know.
This is a common thing, just listen to the arrangement of the cloth head on the road. At that time, Master Jin found Master You, and that was the first time they worked together.
There were also two people accompanying him: a "Master Zhang" in his thirties, and a "Master Zeng" in his thirties. A group of four people went deep into the hinterland of the Fengya Forest. Those two people are young and vigorous, but their cultivation is unfathomable!
After a few days, nothing special happened, but in the end...... When Master You said this, he seemed to be as secretive as he was.
You Wuxian only knew that they seemed to be in great trouble, Master Jin was injured, and the other three were the only ones who escaped with Master You. However, Master Zhang and Master Zeng stayed in Fengya Forest forever......
Even the master never mentioned the matter, and his intuition told You Wuxian that this might be a shocking secret! But Master You didn't say it, maybe it really became an eternal secret...
Getting back to the point, Master You changed the topic, chatted with You Wuxian while walking, and returned to Ao Mansion unconsciously. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hospital, I met Ao Zhentian returning from going out.
Seeing Ao Zhentian happily, full of spring breeze, Master You couldn't help but snort: "What kind of happy event makes Boss Ao so proud?" Ao Zhentian hurriedly invited the two into the hospital, and said with a smile as he walked: "Master You, don't hide it, the goods brought back this time, in addition to cloth, have some valuables, which have been processed in the past few days, and they have all been sold at a good price."
Especially this time, I also brought a piece of the bottom of the box: there is a mysterious master who entrusted me with a lot of money to bring it to Anhua City. I don't know what the contents of that box are, but now I saw the receiver, and the remuneration is really ridiculously high!"
This businessman's nature is like this, mercenary is the nature, no wonder he is so happy. Ao Zhentian continued: "At the moment, Ao Mou is afraid that he will not dare to be a foot merchant anymore, and he just uses this wealth to open another trade route near Anhua City. Let's call Master Shangchuan tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"
Master You smiled with him, but he was serious: "Brother Ao, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you tonight~ It's not a secret, today You took the 'famous cloth' and set off at night." ”
Ao Zhentian was a little stunned, but he also knew the rules of "tying the name cloth", and he couldn't help but show a look of regret.
Master You suddenly solemnly hugged his fists to Ao Zhentian and said, "Originally, You thought that the injury would be healed, and he should say goodbye to Brother Ao in the next few days." Unexpectedly, such a task came. It's just that I'm not here for a few days, and I'm an ignorant apprentice, so I have to trouble Brother Ao......"
Ao Zhentian immediately waved his hand to interrupt Master You's words: "Alas, Master You said this, it can be seen! Don't worry, I treat him as my own family! Why don't you say goodbye~ I'll worry about it when you come back." If you are used to living in this humble house, you can live as long as you want!"
When the downstream master didn't say more, he patted Ao Zhentian's shoulder gratefully. You Wuxian wanted to speak and stopped, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to accompany him in this situation. If you want to say that there is definitely a danger, you can only pray for the master silently in secret.
Ao Zhentian knew that Master You must have a long way to go, so he was given a fast horse, but Master You couldn't shirk it, so he had to accept it... After everything was ready, three hours later, Master You, accompanied by You Wuji, came to the south gate of the city.
Master Tu and Master Jin also arrived, and when Master Tu leaned over to explain some matters to You Wuji, he got on the horse, and the three of them went out of the city gate without looking back.
You Wuxian watched the master's back go away until he couldn't see it, and then silently returned to Ao Mansion. No one expected that when Master You returned from going out this time, some earth-shattering changes occurred~ This is not mentioned later.
Having said that, You returned to Ao Mansion listlessly, and as soon as he entered the door, he was entangled by that Lian'er. I heard that Master You took the "Tied Name Cloth", and asked You Wuxian to tell her about the "Tied Name Cloth". You Wuxian is a head and two big, and he slipped away with a few perfunctory words~
For the next few days, You Wuxian had nothing to do. However, he also listened to his master's instructions, practiced on time every day, and was not sloppy at all, and Ao Minglian was still making trouble from time to time. Sleeping in bed at night, You Wuxian pillowed his head with his hands on his head, and his mind was heavy: Where is Master now?
Master You was already hundreds of miles away at this time. It was different from when I came to Anhua City, when I had an injury and needed to recuperate. And now there are no rockback beasts in the team, all of them are lightly armed, and the speed is greatly accelerated.
The group of three hurried non-stop, pausing only when the food supply and the horses were tired of running, and by the evening of the next day, they had already crossed the mountains on all sides. The next road is different from the way you came, and you need to take a detour to the south.
The unnamed forest is very vast, long from north to south and narrow from east to west. Therefore, according to the current geographical location, as long as you enter the unnamed forest, the destination is only less than 100 miles.
Now that most of the distance had passed, the three of them slowed down and picked up the kettle to replenish their strength. Leng Buding rode a fast horse to meet him, and the three of them were busy dodging. The man hurried and ignored them, and walked away in the voice of Master Jin scolding.
Before he had gone far, a few fast horses came from the opposite side, and as before, without looking at the three of them, they hurried in the direction of the mountain on all sides. Master You stopped suspiciously, looked at those people, and found that it was the messenger of Bihai City. It's just that I don't know what happened to these people in a hurry.
However, this official road was often passed by marchers and messengers, perhaps they were just conveying secret messages or something. A loose master like them can't pay attention to so much. Shaking their heads, the three of them got into the fork in the road and headed south......
