Volume 1 The Wind Rises and the Clouds Chapter 23 Into the Mountain

The matter of entering the mountain to worship the ancestors is imminent, Long Shengzhou sent a letter to his family, and in four days, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he must return immediately, and there must be no mistakes.

Mu Tao got up early in the morning, knocked on the door, no one answered, Mu Tao went to the ancestral house of Xia Ze Lotus Alley alone, and asked about the land Wu Xiao, Xia Ze didn't seem to have come, so she returned to the tea shop in Niu Hoi Alley a little depressed.

As a result, when she walked to the door, the kid actually carried a basket of dry food and tools bought at the morning market, and greeted her with a smile.

"Where have you been this early in the morning?" Mu Tao was puzzled.

"In the first year of being a headhunter, this is a top priority, I have to talk to my father and my eldest brother, so I got up early in the morning, went to my father's grave and put incense on it, and then went to the morning market to prepare things."

Mu Tao looked down and immediately understood, no wonder this kid was covered with undried dew, and his feet were still a little muddy.

"By the way, Miss Mu, this is for you." The young man smiled a little shyly, and the round of blackness under his eyes was particularly conspicuous.

"For me? This is? Mu Tao took the pile of paper he handed over, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be hundreds of yellow paper talismans.

"I stayed up late to write, after all, I can't take Miss Mu's things for nothing, the first time I wrote it, the writing was not good, but I tried it with one or two, and the effect is good, and the next time I meet Miss Mu, I will definitely be able to write better, and then I will send a few more to Miss Mu."

Mu Tao looked at the talisman in his hand, snorted, and smiled.

The serious immortal talisman has to be Huang Silk Zhu Wen.

The talisman is a rune paper, and the urn is a magic urn, similar to the list of gods, which is convenient for inviting the gods to send generals and suppress demons and exorcise ghosts.

There is no way to do it, draw the talisman and need to rest and pinch the trick, concentrate on the pen, first write the edict talisman, and then point to three points to call the heaven, earth and man, and then draw the corresponding gods, such as the God of Wealth needs to draw the Golden Wheel Ruyi Marshal Zhao knot, and finally stamped with a heavenly master seal, a Yangping Zhidu Gong seal, a Qiu Yu Gong seal, before it becomes a talisman, if you can't make up three seals, ordinary seals can also be, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

This talisman is written in a good way, but the young man didn't have the seal of the Heavenly Master, so he casually found a seal engraved with "Xia Ze Naiyu" and printed it.

"Xia Ze, you can do it, it's only been a few days, you have learned to brag, this girl should think carefully about whether to let you be my little follower, lest you rely on learning some skills in the future, you will bully men and women and ruin the reputation of this girl."

Xia Ze couldn't argue, just when he was worshipping his parents, he used a rain master in front of the graves of his father and eldest brother, and it was really only a light rain in a small radius in front of the grave.

At first, he planned to write 999 talismans and give them to Mu Tao, but he found two hours just to find the yellow paper on which he wrote the talismans, and seeing that the rooster was about to crow in another three hours, the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made, and after wasting more than 100 runes in succession, he had to shorten his goal to 100.

The matter of drawing the talisman was extremely draining, and it was not until the second half of the night that it gradually improved, and he remembered that he was missing the seal of the Heavenly Master, so he took the idea of trying it and stamped it with a private seal, and the effect was surprisingly good.

I don't know if it's because of the beggar.

Mu Tao looked at the various colored talismans in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "Okay, okay, thank you." ”

Entering the courtyard, Lu Ying just made breakfast, and He Xi finally woke up yesterday, He Xu was holding a bowl of hot porridge and feeding her spoonful by spoonful.

Hearing Xia Ze's voice, she smiled shyly: "Back?" ”

Xia Ze nodded, and hurriedly said, "Hmm." ”

Li You and Fu Qi couldn't bear it after staying in the town for a few days, and they wanted to go into the mountains to break through, Mu Tao wanted Li You to stay and take care of the home, but he didn't say anything when he saw his impatient appearance.

"Then after breakfast, let's go into the mountains to worship our ancestors, no problem, right?" Mu Tao Road.

Xia Ze nodded and said, "Everything is ready, go to the post station to borrow a few horses, and you can enter the mountain." ”

"Yuhan, do we really want to go into the mountain with the Chang Shengjun?" Xu Hun asked.

A few days ago, the two of them galloped quickly, and finally found the victorious army wandering in the border pass of Daqi.

As a result, hundreds of people rushed to Yunxi Town, where the wind and waves were calm, and there was no dozens of zhang tall law phase giants described by Wei Yuhan, everything was as before. Then somehow there was an evil wind in the barracks, saying that Wei Yuhan, the second prince of Great Qi, wanted to follow the allusions of the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera, so as to sharpen the spirit of Du Jiangchuan, the commander of the side army of the Changsheng Army.

Up and down in the barracks, there were all complaints about Wei Yuhan's "playing" behavior, but fortunately, at first he was worried that too many people and horses would appear in Yunxi Town and would be regarded as a sign of war by Da Zhou, so only hundreds of people came, otherwise this scene would not be something that he Wei Yuhan could control.

Wei Yuhan sighed: "The Changsheng Army was originally the stragglers of Cao Bing when he recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and his father issued an edict to recruit the stragglers, who originally thought that they could resist the invasion of the border pass together with the Yisheng Army, but what has come from the border pass over the years is only the dirty deeds of the Yisheng Army and the Changsheng Army, and it is not good for the court to slap their faces, so they naturally turn a blind eye. ”

"Du Jiangchuan is a monk of the Five Realms, and his cultivation is above the two of us, and he will not be subject to foreign military orders, they are not willing to go back empty-handed, and I have no other way, but as long as they do not go too far under my nose, then let them, and when this entry into the mountain is over, we will return to the court quickly."

Xu Hun nodded and pushed the door open.

Outside the door, there was a swarthy man holding a bounty, nodding with a flattering face, it was the neighbor of Xia Ze's residence, the ancestral trace.

"Master Zu, this trip into the mountain, I still bother you to give a lot of advice, if this trip goes well, there will be another generous gift."

When it was finally time to go out, Lu Ying quietly pulled Xia Ze aside and whispered: "Remember, when you encounter danger, you must know to run, don't be reckless, but remember to protect Miss Mu." ”

Crossing the threshold, the blind He couldn't see, followed the position where Xia Ze spoke, and smiled lightly: "Come back early." ”

Xia Ze was a little embarrassed, hurriedly responded, and left, He Xu's thorny stick couldn't bear to hit it after all.

When I arrived at the east of Yunxi Town, I talked to the little fifth brother who raised horses and rented four horses.

Xiao Wu, surnamed Ye, Xia Ze's playmate since childhood, heard that Xia Ze opened as a headhunter for the first time this year, and the horse was tied with a red cloth around his neck.

Xiao Wu looked at Mu Tao behind Xia Ze and teased: "Xia Xiaoer, just with your three-legged cat kung fu, you really dare to take people into the mountain, I heard that there will be ghosts outside the horse crying grave at night, you don't want to die to save face and suffer crimes, no matter how much money you earn, it's not good to marry a daughter-in-law without life." ”

"The guests are here, don't delay my fortune." Xia Zepi didn't smile.

In the early years, Xia Ze had heard that the locals of Yunxi Town brought outsiders into the mountains, which was very dangerous and costly to spend blessings, and it depended on whether the people who were flying books and headhunters were hard enough to carry it, and the most inferior grass like him only needed to take Mu Tao and others to the flying locusts under Tongzi Peak and Hulu Peak, and the rest would have nothing to do with him.

The highest level of Feishu headhunters in headhunting needs to consider every step carefully, advance and retreat with outsiders, be able to prosper, support the arts, and invite the little gods to come up at critical moments to repel ghosts and evils.

The road leading from the flying locust to the horse crying grave was explored in the early years, and the later people only needed to take the outsiders along the road walked by the predecessors.

From the north of Yunxi Town, the fast horse galloped for thirty miles, and it was about ten miles away from Tongzi Peak, and it also took an hour to come to a river, where the water and grass were abundant, just for the horses to rest for a while.

Li You and Fu Qi took out two pairs of fishing rods out of nowhere and sat by the river to fish.

Xia Ze sat alone by the river and grabbed a stone, but his interest was not too high, so he still didn't throw it out.

"What are you thinking?" Mu Tao grabbed a handful of wildflowers and sat down beside him.

"I chatted with the beggar master yesterday, and I roughly knew where the sect that shot at me was sacred, and my mind was a little messy."

"It looks so good!" Mu Tao's thumb and index finger were a small yellow flower, hanging in Xia Ze's ear, looking up and down, and finally smiling with satisfaction.

Xia Ze couldn't cry or laugh, but Mu Tao was interested, one was not enough, he treated his head as a potted plant, one here and one there, after thinking about it, he scratched Xia Ze's hair into a chicken nest.

"And what's going on after that?" Mu Tao asked, looking into his eyes.

"I don't know for the time being, my life is so short, of course I want to go out for a walk, go to Daqi, Da Zhou, and even Miss Mu's hometown Longshengzhou, and see how chic and happy the Sword Fairy Sword Cultivation in Miss Mu's mouth is." He picked up a stone and threw it out, and it hit the surface of the river three times before sinking to the bottom.

"But most of the dozen or so lonely children in the town can't live without me, and my sister-in-law Lu Ying, if I'm not here, I will definitely be bullied, thinking of this, even if I think about going out again, I won't be happy in my heart, I'm afraid I will spend the rest of my life in the town in the future, Miss Mu, I can't be your little follower of the Sword Fairy, I'm sorry."

He looked at Mu Tao, wanting to see a trace of displeasure in her eyes, if she was really angry and scolded him for being unproductive and incompetent, he wouldn't be able to fight back and scold him back.

The girl just sneered, grabbed the corner of Xia Ze's falling mouth, and mentioned it up: "Parents are here, don't travel far, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, this girl makes an exception to accept your little follower, keep this copper coin, as long as you encounter difficulties in the future, send a letter to Longshengzhou Beacon Pass, saying that Mu Tao's number one follower is in trouble, and this girl must be falling from the sky with clouds." ”

Xia Ze smiled extremely brightly: "Miss Mu, can you tell me who is on the other side of your marriage line, and whether it is a man who meets your heart." ”

In the distance, a group of people and horses passed by the road in a mighty manner, and the momentum was so great that it raised clouds of dust.

A young man in a blue brocade robe rode out of the procession, came to the river, raised his horse's head high, and said with a smile: "Girl Mu, let's meet again!" ”
