Xu Dang took a deep breath, withdrew his hand, and looked away. To be honest, he didn't know if he could. There is definitely no chance to re-teach, and it is still a question whether you can finish it now. Liu Meilan looked at him like this, knowing that she had no chance at all, so she lowered her head. It stands to reason that in fact, the relationship between the two should not be so familiar, or so familiar that they are inseparable.

But Liu Meilan just felt that he was very kind. "Then Master, do I have any of these?" Liu Meilan asked, and Xu Dang hummed. Liu Meilan sniffed and picked up the book she was holding just now, flipping through it. Xu Dang didn't bother her, and he didn't spend a lot of time with her, so he needed to let her develop the habit of self-learning. When the time comes, even if she is not by her side, she can teach herself.

Xu Dang walked back to the hut, and after entering the door, he also carefully closed the door. Open the window, push the lid of the coffin open, and take out all the contents inside. Now, there is no need for Liu Meilan to find it by herself. Xu Dang walked out with his things, and saw that Liu Meilan was still looking down at the book, so he stepped forward and put the things next to Liu Meilan's arm, "This is something for the teacher to give you." ”

Liu Meilan put down the book in surprise and picked up the two swords next to her to watch. "Master, what is this?" Liu Meilan took out the wooden sword and asked. Xu Dang squatted beside her, "This is called the Seven Star Sword." "You read what I gave you first, and then I'll teach you how to use it. Liu Meilan pursed her lips, Xu Dang stood up, "There is still something, I took it last night." ”

Xu Dang walked to the small bag he was carrying last night and took it off the cabinet. Take it to Liu Meilan and sit down, take out all the things inside and put them on the table. Liu Meilan looked at the things that were taken out, and couldn't help but be curious, pick up one and look left and right. Xu Dang smiled, "The one you took is called the magic ruler, and the six sides are the sun, the moon, the twenty-eight nights, the three-star Beidou and the Southern Dipper, etc. ”

"The ancients cleared the unknown peach branches, and Hou Yi died from the peach stick, so the future generations used it to chase ghosts, and today the pengqi is also it." Xu Dang explained, and Liu Meilan was surprised that her mouth was half-open and couldn't close it for a long time. She looked at it a few more times, and it was indeed exactly the same as what Xu Dang said. "There are two rulers, one is peachwood, and the other is like this", Xu Dang held a very heavy ruler in front of Liu Meilan.

"You see, this is another ruler, and he is like this." Xu Dang handed the ruler to Liu Meilan's hand and asked her to take a closer look at the two rulers. "The canopy ruler is often four-edged, six-sided, and the engraved on it is what I just told you, the sun and the moon, crape myrtle, canopy, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, and the seven stars of the Big Dipper. Tianpeng is the name of Marshal Tianpeng, and waving him is to respectfully invite Marshal Tianpeng to the altar to exorcise evil spirits. ”

Liu Meilan hurriedly put the magic ruler in her hand on the table, for fear that she would accidentally cause trouble for Xu Dang. She put her hands on top of her knees, "Eh, Master, who is this Southern Dipper?" Liu Meilan asked, Xu Dang nodded, quite satisfied with her question, "The Southern Dipper is the Southern Dipper and the Northern Dipper, have you seen the Sou Shen Ji, there is a Nandou Zhusheng and Beidou Zhusheng in it." ”

"Nandou is alive, Beidou is dead?" Liu Meilan didn't understand, so Xu Dang explained, "Beidou is in charge of life and death, and Nandou is in charge of life and death." Liu Meilan nodded, now she understood, "Then Master, is Marshal Tianpeng particularly powerful?" Liu Meilan asked, Xu Dang didn't know how to answer, and thought for a long time before replying, "Well, it's very powerful, fifty zhang long, dressed in black, and gold armor." ”

"Three heads and six arms, the flood of seven politics and eight spirits, the emperor bell is shocked, all saints are coming, the axe is lightly waved, the demons are shattered, the divine light is magnificent, often saving all sentient beings, the true nature is majestic, and the oath is eternal in the right path." Xu Dang seemed to be reciting, without any emotion, he put the canopy ruler on the table, "Generally speaking, the canopy ruler can't be used indiscriminately, and when worshipping, the blessing can maintain the ability to kill ghosts." ”

"Calm the nerves and maintain health, and sometimes it can also transform the essence and qi to drive away evil spirits and cure diseases." Xu Dang picked up a bell again, "This is called Sanqing Bell, which has the effect of séance and demon elimination." He handed the bell to Liu Meilan, "These will be taught to you in the future, as for whether you use it or not, it's up to you." Oh, and this," Xu Dang put Sanqingling in Liu Meilan's hand and picked up a piece of wood, "This is called lightning strike wood, something that is often used for exorcism." ”

"Lightning strike wood is a tree that has been struck by lightning, often peach and jujube. This thing is precious, and when it is used to make seals and order swords, it is basically very powerful. Xu Dang put things in front of Liu Meilan, and Liu Meilan couldn't see these anymore. Master, what are you...... Where did you find so many things? She couldn't help but ask, Xu Dang sighed, "It's the point where I was looking for someone to come last night." ”

Liu Meilan was stunned, she looked at the thing in front of her and then at Xu Dang's face, "This, is this a point?" Liu Meilan scratched the back of her head and put Sanqingling on the table, thanks to the fact that the table was big enough, otherwise she didn't know that so many things could be put in a small bag, and this was the first time she had seen it. Xu Dang pretended to cough, stood up, walked to the opposite side of her position and sat down.

"I'm going to use all of this, and maybe you'll need it in the future." Xu Dang took a sip of tea, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, I'll tell you this book first." I learned this by myself, and I basically understood it when I saw it. It's very easy to understand, and it's easy to memorize. As he spoke, he took out a book from the side and opened it, and subconsciously said, "I'll read these things and then memorize them." ”

Memorize it after reading it? Liu Meilan couldn't believe her ears. It seems that his master is a capable person, and he will memorize it after reading it. She rubbed her nose, not knowing if she would be like him as his apprentice/or if she would be the same as yesterday, so nervous in front of him that she couldn't answer. Thinking of this, she shook her head suddenly, how could this be, she should have some confidence.

"Xu Wen, you go and send something to your brother, this is what we made up." The man handed a cloth bag to Xu Wen, and Xu Wen opened the bag, and there was a lot of rice in it, all of which they had made up by themselves. "What is this?" Xu Wen asked, and the man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Ah, this is a little bit of our mind." You don't say where you came from, but I don't think the clothes you have on you are your own. ”

"Ah, we're not local." Xu Wendao, the man sighed, and took out the money, "Here, you take these, these are all extra last night, how much should be as much, the person who comes is a guest, and we don't want to take advantage of you." He put the money in Xu Wen's hand, "Last night, the baby wanted to come, but I didn't let it." On a cold day, the baby was cold outside, and now I feel a little uncomfortable. ”

"I said I could talk to her, and she said she wanted to give him something. The child, when asked her if she didn't say anything, just said that she would let her go. If you don't hurry to leave early," the man was halfway through speaking, Xu Wen suddenly blocked his words, "No, I'm afraid I don't want to, forget it." My brother and I should be able to go back soon, he should go to Xu Dang and ask him to go back with us to see his mother. ”

"Xu Dang? Tsk, no, that's fine, I'll go back first. After the man said hello, he hurried out. Xu Wen looked at the bag in his hand and fell into deep thought. He turned around to see that Xu Hua was lying on the bed squinting his eyes. I don't know if I slept or not, Xu Wen didn't dare to make too much noise, walked to the desk, and looked at the few books he carried with him that had been turned many times.

At noon, the sun is shining. A carriage was parked at the gate of Su's house, and the people in the carriage were just about to remind the people in the carriage that the place had arrived, but they were stopped by the people at the door, "Eh! Where are you from! What are you doing here? Drive away, drive away! He waved his hand in disgust, and the faces of the people in the carriage darkened, and he ignored his words, turned around, and said, "The place has arrived." ”

Before he could say an honorific, the door was pushed open by the people inside. Seeing the comer, the people at the door suddenly didn't dare to make a sound anymore and hurriedly turned their heads away, when nothing had happened. The man got out of the carriage, straightened his clothes, got out of the carriage, and came to the door. He looked up at the big two words written on the door, and the anger that he couldn't hold back burned strongly in his heart.

He didn't say a word, and walked directly to the door, and the subordinate who was guarding the door saw that the person was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the door in advance. The man walked through the door. The two looked at each other and ran to the carriage and talked to the coachman. The man ignored anyone who asked him for questioning along the way, and walked quickly to the house. At first glance, I saw that on the main seat, a fat man was drinking tea and singing leisurely, when he heard someone coming outside.

I didn't see any reaction from him, he was still doing his own thing, and he was not affected in the slightest. The man let out a long breath and sat down next to him. Suddenly, the fat man's hand drinking tea paused, and then he began to scratch the cup with his hand, "In the end, the person who has gone out of the door, and when he sees someone without shouting, he will go straight in." Alas, did my brother come back today to see his mother? Just outside the room where the door was opened. ”

The man suddenly couldn't say the words that came to his mouth, "No, I just came back to see you." He replied, and the fat man put the teacup in front of the man and showed him the latte art he had just made, "Look, how's that?" The man frowned and just glanced at it, then didn't look any further, "I came back today, not to see you to get this, let me ask you, what about Suning?" I haven't seen it in years. ”

"Suning? I don't know. The fat man picked up the beads and began to recite the scriptures in silence. When the man heard this, he was angry, "How dare you say that you don't know, I've heard it all said, you are forcing her away and monopolizing this Su house!" The man slapped his palm on the table, knocking over the tea that the fat man had just prepared for him to the ground, and the water spilled out, and some of it wet the man's trouser legs.

The fat man let out a long sigh, and he also stood up, "Who told you these words, don't talk nonsense, obviously I rented this house from her back then, and you didn't see that the Su Mansion hasn't gone yet." As soon as he said this, the man suddenly became speechless. Seeing that the man's anger disappeared in an instant, the fat man walked up to him, "Sit, sit first, you just came back." ”

The fat man poured him another cup of tea, "Let's take a sip and taste my craft." He placed the teacup in front of him, and the man glanced at him, sat down, and drank the tea. The fat man was stunned, and then said to him with a smile, "When my brother comes back today, why don't you tell people in advance, so that people can prepare first." If my mother sees it, she will say that I can't take care of my brothers. ”

The man didn't answer, and the fat man waited for a long time without a response, "My brother has been taking the exam for so long, and now I'm only back, I don't know what kind of official my brother is now." The fat man continued to find the topic, but the man still did not answer his question. The fat man smiled to himself, "My mother told me that if my brother has no money, no wife, and no official position, he will come back directly." ”

"Liu Zhengsheng, I told you a long time ago, why don't you listen." The man was angry, Liu Zhengsheng rubbed his nose, still looking indifferent, "My brother has never told me anything, besides, I am the eldest, and I paved the way for you back then, and you didn't go." One said he was going to take the exam, and the other said he was going to beat someone. Two, I didn't stop any of them, and now I don't understand the meaning. ”

"Don't understand? Don't think I don't know, you forced Suning to leave. I've been looking for Suning in the capital, but none of her people are gone. finally found her father, and her father and mother didn't know where Suning was from. I've given you a lot of letters from home, but I've never seen you go back to Suning. I thought, I thought she, eh, if I hadn't seen that girl with my own eyes, I would have been deceived by you. ”

When the man mentioned this, he felt uncomfortable. Liu Zhengsheng poured himself a cup of tea in silence, he didn't speak, and the man continued, "You said where she was, and now you are the only one who knows where she is." You told me you didn't know where she was? How do you make me believe in you. As he spoke, he smashed his leg with his fist, Liu Zhengsheng glanced at it, put down the teacup in his hand, and said.

"My brother is impatient, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take advantage of it in the court. or change your personality in order to be reused. As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair, "I already told you that I rented this house from Suning." As for the one you mentioned, before the Su family's accident, I didn't lose a cent of her rent. After the accident in the Su family, it also helped her escape the catastrophe. ”

"I haven't seen her since. Where to know where exactly she is now. After so many years, maybe she has already become a wife, and isn't her brother also marrying her now? If you want me to see it, if you miss it, you will miss it, and now I still think about what use it is. You are the only one in our family who has been able to stand there for so many years, listen to my brother's words, don't laugh about your future. ”

The man pinned his head to the side, as if angry. Liu Zhengsheng chuckled, "You go and talk to your mother first, and I'll go out." With that, he walked outside the door. As soon as he walked out the door, a man about his size walked up to him and bent respectfully over him. Liu Zhengsheng glanced at him and spoke, "Take him to see my mother, what's the matter with me when I come back, and then tell me, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, yes," the man hurriedly echoed. Seeing that the matter had been done, Liu Zhengsheng raised his feet and walked to the backyard. Before leaving, he glanced at the door meaningfully before leaving. After Liu Zhengsheng left, the man walked in the door. The man who was still sitting in the seat stood up when he saw someone coming, "Okay, I heard what you just said, take me to see where my mother is." ”

The man echoed a few words and led him to the house where Liu's mother was. Upon entering, the man suddenly smelled a strange scent. I can't say what it is, but it always feels weird. He covered his nose with his hands and frowned. When the man on the side saw him like this, he hurriedly explained to him, "This is a medicinal herb, and although the taste is a little unpleasant, but, "Okay, okay, I know." ”

The man put his hand down and came to Liu's mother's bed. Seeing that Liu's mother was still asleep, she sat on the edge of the bed. Covering Liu's mother's quilt with her hand, Liu's mother, who was sleeping soundly, felt that her quilt was lightly placed, so she opened her eyes to see who it was. But as soon as she opened her eyes, she was stunned. She had never seen this person in front of her before, and the fear in her heart rose all of a sudden, and she cried out loudly.

He also struggled to take his hand out of the quilt and hit the man. "Mother, I'm Liu Yanqing, Yanqing, mother." Liu Yanqing explained while protecting Liu's mother's hand, and Liu's mother suddenly stopped after hearing Liu Yanqing's three words. She looked at Liu Yanqing in a daze, as if she wanted to draw him, Liu Yanqing took advantage of this time and hurriedly put her arms into the quilt.

"Well, what the hell is going on. When I left, it wasn't okay. Liu Yanqing couldn't figure it out, because in his mind, the old lady's body was still good, and she wouldn't be like this ghost in front of her at all. The man on the side stepped forward, "I was a little stimulated, and I don't know what happened, overnight, it became like this." No matter how many doctors I invited, they said that they couldn't be cured, saying that they couldn't be helped. ”

"What do you say? Hopeless? Liu Yanqing was stunned, and after Liu's mother turned her head, and after seeing the man's face clearly, she began to yell as if she was stimulated. Frightened, Liu Yanqing hurriedly reassured her, the man was afraid that Liu Yanqing would suspect himself in this matter, so he raised his voice and explained next to Liu Yanqing, "Alas, as soon as someone comes, it will become like this, no matter who it is, they are all yelling." ”

It's just that it's okay if he doesn't come, but when Liu Mu comes, she is even more scared, and even starts to hide to the side. Liu Yanqing irritably let the person go down, and the man was still a little uneasy, ready to explain something. Liu Yanqing couldn't help but scold, "If you let you go, you can't hear it?" After a few words, the man immediately left the house. Liu Yanqing let out a long sigh and moved forward, "Mother, people are gone, people are gone." ”
