Chapter 14: Apprenticeship I

After the shopkeeper Wang and his wife left with Lin Lu, Mo Shu, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu worked together to expel the corpse insects in the corpse.

After doing this, most of the day has passed, Mo Shu said goodbye, and Jiang Chen sent her away.

"Why can Xiao Lu'er's blood be fused with the blood of the shopkeeper Wang and his wife?" asked Mo Shu.

"It's alum powder. Jiang Chen said proudly: "As long as you add some alum stone powder to the water in advance, any blood will melt into a piece." The end of alum is colorless and odorless, and not many people know about it, so it is difficult to detect. ”

"Sure enough, it's a swagger!" Mo Shu said. She said this, but there was no accusation in her tone.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly and sighed, "I can't practice the Dao Fa, and I can only play some tricks. ”

If he had a choice, Jiang Chen also hoped to be a Taoist like his younger brother Jiang Wu.

"You will become a Taoist!" Mo Shu seemed to see through Jiang Chen's thoughts: "Thank you!"

"Thank you?" Jiang Chen was stunned. It should have been him who said thank you, because Mo Shu had helped them all day and was quite tired.

"Thank you for helping Xiao Lu'er find a new home. Mo Shu said: "It's obviously none of your business, but you bother so much. For the sake of this matter, I will not pursue the matter of urinating next to the ant nest under the yellow locust tree the day before yesterday!"

Jiang Chen was very embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "People have three urgencies, but that time my younger brother occupied the thatched house......"

"The next time you do it again, you will confiscate the tools of the crime!" Mo Shu said, she made a joke, but she couldn't help but giggle first.

"This is the first time I've heard you laugh!" Jiang Chen said: "Your laughter is very good, why don't you smile more?"

Mo Shu didn't answer. The two walked silently for a while, and Mo Shu suddenly stopped: "Just send it here." ”

Jiang Chen nodded, he knew that the other party was a demon, and there was always a bit of a barrier, where the monster lived, it was inconvenient for them to go.

Mo Shu's figure suddenly turned into a wisp of demonic wind, gradually dissipating.

"Goodbye!" Jiang Chen said. He was thinking in his heart, he didn't know when he would be able to see Mo Shu's true face.

"Thank you!" Mo Shu's voice came from the wind: "The name is very good, I like it very much." ”

......

After the corpse insect demonic qi contaminated on Xiao Lu'er's body was cleared, his hair turned gray in two or three days, and after a few days, his hair was already half black. The shopkeeper Wang and his wife sent a thank you gift of 500 yuan to thank the Chenwu Gym for finding their son. Regardless of whether there is still a trace of doubt in the hearts of the shopkeeper Wang and his wife, their actions show that they have indeed taken care of Xiao Lu'er as a parent. Xiao Lu'er has always regarded Mrs. Wang as her mother.

It's a pity that these five hundred wen didn't make the Chenwu Daoist Hall rich. The house where the walking dead have stayed must be cleaned up and sealed off to prevent the spread of corpse insects, and the body of the walking corpse must be completely cremated and properly buried.

These things can't be done by the Chenwu Dao Hall, so I also invited some undertakers to help, plus the cost of the cemetery, coffin and burial, and the five hundred yuan didn't fall much in the end.

The brothers were busy for several days, and after doing this, they had a good rest.

"I don't know, I thought that our Chenwu Gym had changed careers! It's time to return to the main business of the Gym. Jiang Chen said: "The Seven Star Grass Seeds are running out, let's go to Nanshan tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, the brothers went to Nanshan. They took Xiaobai with them, Xiaobai is a demon after all, and he should go out to let off steam.

Nanshan is more than 20 miles away from Yunlan Town, with beautiful scenery and fragrant birds. When the weather is nice, there will be many residents in the vicinity who go for an excursion. On this day, the weather was very good, and there were many people who went to Nanshan. But these are all rich ladies riding in carriages, or disciples of families riding tall horses. It is rare for Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu to walk on foot with tents and dry food on their backs.

Every time a carriage passed, it kicked up a cloud of dust, and the brothers had to cover their mouths and noses until the dust had fallen before continuing on their way. Of course, there are also some carriages that will deliberately slow down when passing by, and the dust stirred up is much smaller. Whenever he encountered the latter, Jiang Wu would thank the person riding the horse from afar, and for the former, Jiang Chen pointed to the dust rising behind the other party and scolded bitterly.

A carriage pulled up next to the two brothers. A well-dressed middle-aged lady leaned out of the window of the carriage, and she looked at Xiaobai lying on Jiang Wu's shoulder, and she liked it very much.

"What a beautiful puppy. The lady said, "Make an offer and give me this puppy." ”

Jiang Chen wanted to agree, but he still shook his head: "I'm sorry, we don't sell this puppy." ”

"Don't rush to decide, I haven't said the price yet. The lady smiled and said, "How about five taels of silver?"

Jiang Chen's heart moved, one or two official silver was three hundred yuan, and five taels of official silver was enough to cover the expenses of the Chenwu Daoist Pavilion for more than a year. However, Jiang Wu immediately refused.

"It's really not for sale!" the lady regretted. She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you a ride along the way, and this little dog will play with me on the way, okay?"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Chen immediately agreed happily. Xiaobai has already fed it, it is very well-behaved, it is not afraid of people, there are two brothers present, it will not make any mess.

The noble lady took Xiao Bai from Jiang Chen's hand, Xiao Bai seemed a little reluctant, and screamed softly. Jiang Chen said: "Feeding you every day, it's rare that you can play some role, aren't you happy!"

Xiaobai stopped saying a word in amusement, it was carried into the carriage by the noblewoman, and Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu were crowded next to the coachman. Although their treatment is a little worse than Xiaobai's, they can save a while.

The brothers were dipped in Xiaobai's light and easily came to the foot of Nanshan.

The carriage on the mountain road was inaccessible, and the two brothers took back Xiaobai and said goodbye to the noblewoman.

Most of the tourists who come here are concentrated in the valley near the foot of the mountain, and some are willing to spend more effort to climb the front peak and overlook the Pingchuan. Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu took Xiaobai over the front peak and went to the depths of Nanshan.

There are few tourists here, and there is no path, the brothers walked through the forest, and Xiaobai continued to lie on Jiang Wu's shoulder.

"The Seven Star Grass Seeds in this area have been almost harvested by us, and it seems that we will go deeper in the future. Jiang Chen said.

Qixing grass is a kind of spiritual grass that only grows in the inaccessible Lingshan beautiful land, each mature Qixing grass has seven leaves, the small flowers that bloom are also seven petals, and the grass seeds are also seven strings and seven grains. The seven-star grass is only a few feet long, its appearance is not good, mixed with the grass and trees in the deep mountains, it is difficult to find. The brothers had to search carefully and patiently everywhere to find the Seven Star Grass in the grass and trees, and pick the Seven Star Grass seeds, which were slightly larger than the sesame seeds.

Fortunately, the Seven Star Grass Seeds are just an adjunct for making rune paper, and they don't need a lot, as long as you collect twenty or thirty grass seeds of the Seven Star Grass, it is almost enough to make a hundred rune papers.

After Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu each found a few Seven Star Grasses, it was almost dusk.

"Do you want to go back to the front peak to set up a tent?" Jiang Wu asked. There are many tourists at the front peak, and there are also a few tourists camping on the mountain at night, waiting to watch the sunrise on the second day. If you return to the front peak to camp, it is very safe, but you will have to walk a long way.

"The Seven Star Grass seeds harvested now are far from enough. Jiang Chen said: "There are few seven-star grasses in the front peak, and the grass seeds have already been picked by us. If you go to the front peak to camp, tomorrow you will return to the depths of the back peak to continue looking for the Seven Star Grass. It took a lot of time to go back and forth, and it was strange to be tired and panicked. Let's just stay in the back mountain. ”

"Okay!" Jiang Wu nodded, anyway, I haven't heard of any fierce beasts in Nanshan recently, as long as the two brothers are careful and light some fires near the tent, there will be no danger.

Compared with teenagers of the same age, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu have lost the care of their parents and have relied on each other for many years, experienced more hardships, and are more courageous. Besides, they have been to this Nanshan many times, and they will not feel scared when they stay in the mountains overnight.

That night, Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu set up a tent in the open area of Houfeng, surrounded the fire, and ate the dry food prepared for them by the landlord and aunt. Xiaobai curled up in Jiang Wu's arms, his eyes half-closed.

When the waning moon was in the sky, the two brothers enjoyed the night view and chatted about some strange and demonic anecdotes recorded in the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", and suddenly Jiang Chen frowned, revealing a look of pain.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Wu asked with concern, "Is it a headache again?"

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples and nodded.

"It's been half a year since the last time I grabbed the medicine, and it's almost time to take it again. Jiang Wu said: "After returning to Yunlan Town, I will go to get you medicine." ”

Jiang Chen sighed: "After so many years, after taking so many medicines, I haven't gotten better! I don't know if the prescription left by my father and mother is right!"

Jiang Wu was relieved: "Although this prescription can't completely cure your head disease, it can relieve the pain, and it will be effective as soon as you use it." Just taking the medicine two or three times a year, it didn't bother much. ”

Jiang Chen had a headache and went to rest early. Jiang Wu took care of it for a while, and after seeing his brother fall asleep, he also hugged Xiaobai to sleep.

While they were asleep, the brothers were awakened by the roar of a wild beast.

Jiang Wu opened the tent and saw a dark shadow rushing towards them in the distance.

"It's a wild boar!" Jiang Chen said: "Strange, these beasts are most afraid of fire, how can they rush towards the fire!"

The boar rushed closer. They found that behind the boar, there seemed to be something chasing it.

"Is it an eagle?" Jiang Wu was very puzzled, the wild boar in the mountains had rough skin and thick meat, and he was actually afraid of eagles?

The two brothers were puzzled, but the boar had rushed closer, and the monster behind it could see more clearly.

Jiang Wu found that this was not an eagle, but a huge bat, the bat's whole body was dark red, and its eyes glowed with dazzling red light, flickering like lights in the middle of the night, which made people shudder.

"Vampire Demon Bat!" Jiang Chen was shocked: "Hold your breath, this is a C-level demon beast, ordinary Dao heroes can't deal with it at all!"
