Chapter 56 Blessings and Misfortunes Depend on Each Other
Xue Hou didn't know what Yun Yao was busy with during the day, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear of angering the other party and causing unhappiness to the bottom of the matter. The only hope for the whole Xue Kingdom is the little monk in front of him, even if he is a monarch, he has to be cautious in his words and deeds.
Yun Yao and He Ling left, the sun rose in the east, but the people of Xue Guo were unwilling to disperse, they wanted to stay near the ferry and wait for Yun Yao to come back.
At noon, a cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, stopping at the city from far and near, and then the clouds became lower and lower, and the people looked up one after another, but saw that the cloud was an auspicious cloud, and there were two handsome young men in white clothes and green silk like the night, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, knives and axes and chisels, and they knew that they were two fairy characters at a glance.
The Chinese people have never seen such a shocking appearance, and they all showed surprise, as if they had been suspended.
The auspicious clouds fell directly into the palace, and the people flocked to the palace gate one after another, wanting to know what was going on.
Xue Hou didn't dare to slack off, and went out to greet him: "I am Xue Hou, I don't know where the two immortals came from, and why did they come to Xue Kingdom?" "Be respectful, because the appearance of the two immortals with auspicious feet on the clouds is too sacred.
is also a monk, Xue Hou compared the appearance of the two groups of monks last night and today, and the girl who came at night was even wearing sackcloth, and at first glance she was not a serious monk. Look at the exquisite dress and noble temperament of these two, this is the immortal.
"Today, we passed through the country of Xue, and saw that the country of Xue was very sick, and knew that there must be a plague here, so I came to save you from suffering." One of them spoke, and his voice was pleasant and refreshing.
"I don't know where the immortals practice, if we can really save my Xue Kingdom, we must worship incense and pray and offer incense." Xue Hou was overjoyed, and there were people helping one after another, it must be Xue Guo who was favored by heaven.
"Mingshan is deep in the Yunguan Cave, and the willows and cranes are pinched. I only know that the sun and the moon have passed, but I say Suodan and Yulou. "Suo Danzi, a monk in Yunguan Cave in Xiaming Mountain, this is my fellow cultivator Yulouzi." Suo Danzi's face is handsome, and his smile is very emotional.
That jade building also has a clean temperament, which makes the people ashamed of themselves.
"It turned out to be an immortal from Yunguan Cave, please help us Xue Guo." Xue Hou was completely convinced, and even the Dazai behind him had a happy face and no doubts.
I have to say that the pie really works, Yun Yao and Ling are busy for two nights, and none of them have any value to appear.
"Since there is a plague, we will naturally help." Suo Danzi smiled and took out a stack of bamboo charms from the silk bag around his waist: "This is a healing charm, which can be cured and cured by only having the patient carry it for three days and three nights." As he spoke, he generously handed over all the charms to Xue Hou's hands.
Xue Hou's face was full of joy, but soon he realized that this spell was not enough, and there were only more than twenty pieces in this stack: "Can this spell be used repeatedly?" Can one patient be cured and then used by another patient? ”
"This is not going to work, a charm can only cure one patient." Suo Danzi said.
Xue Hou was embarrassed: "There are already more than 100 people in my Xue country, and I also ask the immortals to give more charms." After speaking, he saw Suo Danzi's face full of embarrassment, and he chuckled in his heart, and had a bad premonition.
"It's not a secret, it's not easy to make this spell, I also saw the plague raging in Xue Kingdom, so I couldn't bear it, so I offered help, I couldn't do it, and I asked Xue Hou to forgive me."
"Can you ask the immortals to make some more spells?" Xue Hou said.
"It's free, but it costs a lot."
"What materials do the immortals need? I try my best to prepare, if the immortals can cure the plague, our Xue Kingdom can also provide incense, and we can provide hundreds of cattle and sheep sacrifices to Yunguandong every year. Xue Hou was also out of the way, he felt that the two well-dressed immortals in front of him were more capable than the little girl last night.
Although Yun Yao also treats diseases, she is already out of breath and languishing after treating several patients, which shows that she is not at home. Therefore, it is better to spend more money and let the two immortals get rid of the plague once and for all.
"Since Xue Hou is so resolute, then it is difficult for me to shirk it, we don't need cattle and sheep, we just need to prepare a hundred carts of ore as the material for the healing talisman, which is enough to cure the plague."
Xue Hou almost didn't choke to death, a hundred carts of ore? That's a year's worth of production. It turns out that there is a mine in Xue Guoguo, which can mine bronze ore, so although the country is small, the conditions are quite good, and there is enough income from selling ore every year. If there is no plague toss, Xue Guo is definitely a comfortable small country with resources, and it occupies the ferry, so it can be said that it can be counted while lying down.
A hundred carts is not less, which is equivalent to a year's production, but as long as you survive the plague, everything will be fine. Xue Hou immediately decided to agree to this transaction: "100 carts of ore in exchange for the health of the Chinese people, why not?" It's just that 100 carts of ore take a year to mine. ”
"Don't worry, we can come over every month and exchange ore for charms." Suo Danzi said.
Xue Hou felt that there was no problem, but Dazai behind him found a problem, how could this plague be so imminent that it could drag on for a year? "Xue Hou, the plague is urgent, a year is too long."
Xue Hou also realized the problem, and came to change the spell every month, so wouldn't it take a month for the new spell to be completed? "Immortals, can you give us a charm first?"
"Spells are not easy to make, we can't make charms without ores." The monk also has his own saying, if the ore is used as a raw material, there is really no way.
Dazai frowned and said, "Then if the plague is cured halfway through, we no longer need the charm, can we stop exchanging?" ”
The corners of Suo Danzi's mouth curled slightly, as if to say that this plague would not be better within a year.
There is a problem, Xue Guo Dazai keenly discovered the problem, that is, the other party seems to be sure that the plague of Xue Guo will not stop, otherwise how could they have this expression?
"If the plague stops, there will be no need to exchange again." Suo Danzi said, but his expression was clearly saying that the plague would not stop.
Don't? Dazai suddenly had a bad premonition, and immediately said to Xue Hou: "Since the two immortals are kind-hearted, Xue Guo is grateful to Dai De, and I thank the immortals here first." In ten days' time, we will definitely have the first batch of ore ready, and then we will have to bother the two immortals to send a charm. ”
Xue Hou also bowed again: "Thank you to the immortals, as long as the plague disappears, the Xue Kingdom will definitely continue to burn incense and sacrifice." ”
"There is no need to be polite, it is the duty of us to cultivate immortals, then we will come back in ten days." After speaking, auspicious clouds appeared under the feet of the two, and slowly rose into the air and disappeared, leaving only a full house of fragrance.
Xue Hou was still ignorant, but Dazai said with a frightened face: "Monarch, great disaster, great disaster!" The catastrophe of Xue Guo is coming. ”
Xue Hou looked at his manager like a madman, and said unhappily: "I just sent away two immortals who are willing to save the countrymen, how can this be a great joy and a big disaster?" ”
Dazai said fearfully: "I'm afraid that the plague of our Xue Kingdom is the work of these two monsters, and our Xue Kingdom is targeted by monsters, isn't this a big disaster?" ”
Obviously, this white and pure Xue Hou still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, but when Dazai explained it clearly, he would know that it was really a catastrophe.
