Locust tree, wood ghost also.

This hundred-year-old locust is a natural ghost house.

Because it is too yin, it is often not liked by the world, so it is far away.

In fact, in the eyes of feng shui masters, locust wood is a good baby.

As the saying goes, there is Huai in the family, and Fu Yu III.

Legend has it that when the first dynasty was born, the emperor ordered people to plant three acacia and nine thorns for the minister to sit under it, and the three justices correspond to the three locust trees.

Therefore, locust wood has represented "Lu" since ancient times!

Almost all princes and nobles will plant locust wood to reconcile feng shui.

Although the yin qi of the locust wood is too heavy, if it is planted in the home, it is equivalent to opening up a natural ghost house for the ancestors to nourish the soul without having to be baptized by the wind.

If the yang energy in the family is too strong, with the harmony of yin and yang of acacia wood, you can also protect your family and attract wealth.

Just like in this small temple, a group of monks live all year round, and the yang energy is too strong, and with the locust wood, the yin and yang can be harmonized. It makes it easier for monks to stay pure and forget their roots.

And the locust wood chosen by Li Chengjing listens to Buddhism all year round and is baptized by Buddhism, which makes the yin qi more peaceful, and it is a good material for the top of the ghost house.

In fact, it is natural that there is no need to be so troublesome to take this kind of locust wood core, just cut it normally, but if that is the case, this old locust will hardly survive.

Using the wood mantra, you don't have to hurt the root of the old acacia and kill two birds with one stone.

Looking at the heavy wooden core in his hand, this size is enough for Li Chengjing to make several ghost house brands.

Although it is not used so much, the extra can be kept for other purposes in the future.

Hundreds of years old acacia is rare.

In fact, Li Chengjing also has a ghost tree core, which is from the old willow that has become a spirit in Xiushui Village.

It's just that the willow wood is too fierce and not suitable for use as a ghost house.

Huai, willow, mulberry, and poplar are the four ghost trees, although they are all yin wood, but in the ghost law, each has its own usefulness, and it is very exquisite.

After taking the core of the locust tree, Li Chengjing hurried again and returned to the inn.

After the simple carving, some soul-nourishing charms were drawn on it, and a simple haunted house was made.

Li Chengjing now has a cognition of his carving, so this haunted house is just carved into the simplest appearance of a free brand, worn with a red rope, and hung around his waist, which does not look abrupt.

The next day, Li Chengjing went to Zhou Jian's house again, but he didn't show up, but collected Zhou Tao's soul and rushed back.

In the evening, the shopkeeper Liao led the sedan chair man to invite Li Chengjing.

This time, Mi Qing did not call the Mi family's clansmen to accompany him again, but just invited Li Chengjing to a banquet alone.

It's not as formal as last time, but it's also a lot more comfortable.

This time, Mi Qing knew that Li Chengjing was also a smart person, and his set of foolish things was useless to Li Chengjing, so he asked straight to the point.

"I heard the shopkeeper Liao say that Mr. has good martial arts, but he is a literati, and I really can't figure it out. But I still take the liberty to ask, what is the height of Mr.'s kung fu in the rivers and lakes? ”

Li Chengjing smiled dumbly, didn't lie to him, and said: "After learning kung fu, although I have fought with Jianghu people many times, although I have won, those are ordinary martial artists. But there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people. The county lord asked me like this, and I really didn't know how to answer! ”

Hearing these words in Mi Qing's ears, the other party was a little displeased.

He was already so calm, Li Chengjing even played a false game for him.

In other words, Li Chengjing is expressing his other meaning.

For example, not working in vain.

Thinking about this, Mi Qing asked directly: "Don't hide it, I have something here that I want to hire Mr., I don't know how many silver taels I pay, and Mr. is willing to make a move?" ”

Li Chengjing was stunned, this Mi Qing was too direct this time.

But it's good that way, and it saves a lot of trouble.

So Li Chengjing asked: "Let's not talk about the money, I don't know what Mi Xianzun wants to do next?" ”

Mi Qing sighed and said, "Just help the old man escort a person to the state city and hand her over to the imperial court." ”33

It's as simple as that?

Could it be that some prisoner was being escorted?

It should be, this must be a famous thief on the rivers and lakes, with many friends, and the ordinary government is fast, so naturally he is not the opponent of those people.

Li Chengjing smiled and asked, "But what kind of Jiangyang thief?" ”

Mi Qing was stunned for a moment, laughed and said, "Mr. said he was laughing." It's not a big thief. If it is really a Jiangyang thief, why should this official ask you, a person from outside the court, to help, then where is the face of the court? ”

Li Chengjing smiled awkwardly.

It is also said that among the mortal martial artists, there is no place where there are more masters than the imperial court.

It seems to be a private matter.

Mi Qing said: "I can't hide it, the one who wants to ask Mr. to escort is a daughter of my Mi family." Last year, the emperor just established the crown prince, and this year the prince is reaching the marriageable age, and the emperor is selecting the crown princess for the prince. But Huangyue City is hundreds of miles away from the state capital, and now bandits are rampant, if there is no master to protect her, where would I dare to let her go on the road. ”

When Li Chengjing heard this, he suddenly felt bored in his heart.

That's it?

I thought it was something interesting.

I just wanted to hire a guard.

Li Chengjing immediately wanted to resign.

But I heard Mi Qing continue: "It would be fine if my clan girl was just an ordinary woman. But when she was a child, she was taken by a monster who said that when my daughter was sixteen years old, she would come to marry her. In order to prevent her from falling into the tiger's mouth, we want to send her to the palace, even if she can't be the crown princess, she can save her life and not be harmed by that monster. ”

"Youkai?"

Li Chengjing suddenly became interested.

After careful questioning, I learned that when this Mi clan girl was born, there were many visions, dry wells and springs, and a hundred flowers bloomed.

When the master heard the news, he said that he was the reincarnation of a celestial girl, and this life was unspeakably precious.

It should have been a good thing, but I didn't expect that these various rumors and legends would attract a monster to descend on the Mi family, drop the dowry, leave a sixteen-year-old appointment, and disappear.

The other party came and went in a hurry, and they didn't know what the other party was at all.

Even if he later relied on recruiting officials to invite Xuanxiu on the mountain, there was no way to find out, and in the end, it was over.

Fifteen years have passed in a hurry, and the clan girl who has the reincarnation of the heavenly maiden, except that people are smarter and more beautiful, there is no other magical place, and the monster has never appeared again, and the people of the Mi clan have forgotten about this matter after a few years.

I didn't expect that a few months ago, the monster appeared again, saying that a year later, it would be time to get married.

The people of the Mi clan panicked at this time.

The parents of the girl begged in every way, and just in time for the emperor to choose a concubine for the crown prince, Mi Qing made up her mind to send the girl to the palace as a show girl.

No matter what, it's better than being a daughter-in-law to a youkai.

But Mi Qing also knew that the monster would definitely not let his clan girl be a show girl so easily, and he was afraid that he would rob people on the way.

Only then did he begin to look for martial arts masters everywhere, escorting his clan girl to the state city, as long as he entered the team of the show girl, even if the monster was unwilling, he would not dare to rob the show girl of the imperial court.

When Li Chengjing heard this, he deliberately pretended not to know, and asked, "Is there really a monster in this world?" Just now, the county zun also said that there are also Taoists who are proficient in mystical spells in the world, why don't you ask them to do it this time, isn't it more certain? ”

Mi Qing sighed and said, "Why didn't this official want to. But two years ago, there was a plague in Hongcheng, and those Xuanmen Daoists who often appeared didn't know why, and they rarely appeared in the past two years, and the official entrusted people to recruit in several nearby cities for almost half a year, and only found two Taoist priests, but I heard from a friend who knew the inside story that their Taoism was not high, so I had better invite more martial arts masters to go to the ...... together."

Li Chengjing smiled bitterly in his heart, it turned out that the source was here.

Thinking about it, there is an evil god in Hongcheng, Erlang's legs are trapped in Hongcheng, and the grass and trees have long been soldiers, and which Xuanxiu dares to touch the mold, so they naturally stay away, so as not to misunderstand Erlangtang.

At this time, Mi Qing can still find two Xuan Xiu, and he is already well-connected.

Thinking of this, Li Chengjing said with a smile: "If it was just an ordinary guard, I would naturally not agree." But there are legendary monsters, as well as Taoist priests who have passed through the mystical spells, such an interesting thing, but I am really interested. It's just that I don't know how much silver Mi Xianzun is going to hire in the next? ”

Mi Qing didn't expect Li Chengjing to be so direct, he paused for a moment, and finally stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred taels, how about it?" ”

The corners of Li Chengjing's mouth twitched directly.

Mi Qing hurriedly parted five fingers.

"Five hundred taels!"

Li Chengjing nodded in agreement.

Although this amount does not seem to be much, Li Chengjing knows that this is already a huge amount of money for mortals.

Even some Jiangyang thieves who have been famous for a long time, their wanted silver is only this price.

More are only a few dozen taels, or a hundred taels or so.

The kind of wanted warrants that cost a thousand taels or a few thousand taels will only appear in the storyteller's books.

You must know that Mi Qing is a county magistrate, and there are nearly 100 people in the entire county, and in a year's salary, the current silver is only five or six hundred taels, even if it is evenly distributed, one person will only be about ten taels a year.

If it weren't for their food and rice, I'm afraid it would be a problem to survive.

Therefore, five hundred taels is already very high.

Since the matter has been decided, Mi Qing has also calculated a matter of concern, and began to chat casually with Li Chengjing about learning, and Li Chengjing also took the opportunity to inquire about some things in the officialdom, so that he can enter the officialdom in the future, so that his eyes will not be blackened.

After the banquet, Li Chengjing was sent away, and the housekeeper looked at the sedan chair in the distance and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is this five hundred taels of silver too much?" The martial artists we invited are only forty or fifty taels per person, and he is five hundred taels alone, which is too ......."

Mi Qing glanced at him and said, "Idiot, you have also seen those martial artists, who can kick and break a big tree." With this effort, the money is worth it. We have been building momentum for Jinghua in the capital for a long time, if we can't send her to the capital safely, then our efforts will not be in vain. If Jinghua can become the crown princess, our Mi family will truly enter our Daqing's noble circle and truly rise. And not just a local hero. It's only five hundred taels, it's worth the money! ”

Then, Mi Qing said with a wistful expression: "I don't believe the reincarnation of the Celestial Maiden who even monsters covet, and our emperor who wants to live forever is not moved." The reincarnation of the Heavenly Maiden! This is more tempting than any talented woman or a noble woman! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
