Chapter 1 Chenzhou Fu (Seeking Follow-up)
The waterfall is deep and the ancient wood is deep.
The shade of the trees shades the day, and the forest is damp and dark, with a faint mist.
The waterfall is ten feet high, the trees near the pond are sparse, the golden sunlight shines down, and the mist on the water surface refracts the colorful glow.
The cliff face to the left of the waterfall is a cave with green vines hanging down to cover the deep hole.
The cave is cold in broad daylight, and the scene is particularly infiltrating.
Even more permeable is the altar in front of the cave.
The red cloth above the table of the Eight Immortals, and the snow-white porcelain plate holds melons and fruits.
Sandalwood curls and goes straight into the clouds.
In front of the altar, there is an old man wearing a cyan demon mask, the old man wears a big red robe, a yin and yang green hat, a big rooster in his left hand, and a master knife in his right hand.
The rooster's head was cut off with a knife, and the blood was put into the wine jar.
Immediately after that, the wizard picked up the bell and the horn and danced.
In the green smoke, the ghost face is vivid.
"Invite the Lingguan General, 100,000 men to sweep away the evil spirits, hold the golden whip to the upper realm, step on the fire wheel under the ninefold, fire the barracks unfilial son, the golden whip hangs him into dust, the saint is ordered by the Taishang Laojun, and he is as urgent as the order!"
The disciples on both sides held gongs, drums, and horns, and beat gongs and drums according to the rhythm of the shaman.
There were more than a dozen people standing solemnly outside the altar.
Some of these people wore Confucian robes, some were dressed as hunters, and there were barbarians who scattered carved inscriptions.
On the right side of the wizard there is a young man with a gong, the young man is dressed in a green coat for the practice, his facial features are upright, he is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his eyes have a maturity that is different from that of his peers.
This person's name is Xu Xuan, the eldest son of the Xu family, that is, the son of a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe in front of the altar.
At the same time, he is not from this world, he comes from the modern earth with advanced technology, as a 9-to-5 social animal, after a day of overtime, he woke up and appeared in this world, and now it has been 18 years.
The service was carried out in the evening, when the sun set and the sky was dark.
"Woo!!"
The wizard twisted the yellow talisman and shouted softly, and the talisman paper spontaneously combusted without fire, causing everyone to marvel.
"Soul flags, soul gongs, corpse whips!"
As soon as these words came out, the three disciples, including Xu Xuan, each came to the entrance of the cave with three magic weapons.
The wizard held the bell and shook it gently.
At this moment, a group of people came out of the dark cave.
These men wore black hats, black cloth hanging from the edges of the hats to cover their heads, and wore wide black robes, lined up, walking stiffly, and walked out to the rhythm of bells and gongs.
The scene is terrifying and eerie, these mysterious people do not make a sound, and there is a strong rotten aura on their bodies.
It is not like a living person.
This is the legendary Chenzhou corpse.
A sorcerer is a master who chases out corpses, and these people are "corpses".
Against the backdrop of the night, it looks particularly terrifying.
Xu Xuan, who was holding the Soul Attracting Banner, had no fluctuations in his heart, and even almost laughed.
Pretend to be a ghost!
These are living people, and there are no spells.
As one of the disciples of his teacher Gong Lihu, he also helped to apply white phosphorus to the talisman paper the night before.
The corpses were disguised as living people, and the reason for this depended on the large bags of salt in their robes.
Soon, the teacher drove the corpse to the altar, in front of Xu Guangting, the head of the Xu family, and Liming, the barbarian lord of the three mountains of Chenzhou.
"Two adults, the things have been prepared, please instruct."
"Go to Yiyang in three days, and someone will pick you up then." Xu Guangting ordered, "There are two carriages following you, there are coffins on the carriages, and the coffins contain goods, don't let the government know." ”
"Yes!"
Li Hu shook the bell and led the people out of this place.
Xu Guangting glanced at Xu Xuan, and said expressionlessly: "Go back, and let Li Hu take you on a trip when you are proficient in the future." ”
"Yes, father."
Xu Xuan responded.
The conversation between the two is not like father and son at all, after all, Xu Xuan has the soul of an adult in his body, and no matter how much he pretends in the first few years, he can't pretend that blood is thicker than water, and the feeling of being dear to father and son.
In addition, he was different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he was not liked by Xu Guangting, and he had no chance to get along day and night after that, and the relationship between father and son was not very deep.
Xu Xuan followed everyone out of the woods and got on a bantam, while Xu Guangting and another young man got into the carriage.
The young man was tall and had eyes as fierce as a wolf.
The group returned to the city.
On the way, Xu Xuan had no intention of looking at the scenery, and sighed in his heart.
"If only there were gods."
When he first came to this world, Xu Xuan was very excited, thinking that life would rise, but reality slapped him hard.
I wanted to make a reputation as a prodigy, but because he didn't conform to the words and deeds of a child, he was mistaken for a ghost, and his family sent him to the stick and poured a belly of talisman water, and Xu Xuan reined in his edge.
As he grew older, Xu Xuan had a certain understanding of the world, and he was even more cautious after that.
The identity of the eldest son is too eye-catching, especially in the eyes of the young man's mother.
That person was Xu Xuan's second half-brother Xu Feng, and the leader of the barbarian clan just now was his grandfather.
The Xu family relied on this relationship to cooperate with Shanman to smuggle salt, and the position of the head of the family in the future should be Xu Feng's.
"When I was a child, the water irrigation incident should have been the handiwork of the Li family."
Xu Xuan has become more and more cautious since then, and since he was a child, he has shown that he has no intention of competing for the position of the head of the family, and when he grows up, he is even more apprenticed to his teacher.
I never thought that this guy was the leader of the smuggling gang of the Shanman and Xu families.
Where is there any immortal art.
Xu Xuan spent eighteen years, and finally knew this truth, he didn't even have the so-called internal force true qi martial arts, and the so-called chivalrous warriors only knew some techniques to beat the body.
In the words of the previous life, this is the world without demons.
Just as he was thinking, a city appeared in front of him.
Chenzhou City.
The city is not large, with low stone walls, and the population is estimated to be no more than 30,000, and most of them have vegetables, which is completely in line with the imagination of a small city in a remote frontier.
"Fortunately, the place where he was born is the wealthy merchant family in Chenzhou, otherwise it would really be a hellish start."
The convoy came to the Xufu of Nuoda.
Heavy Zhumen, stone lion angry eyes.
The servants and sturdy servants of the Xu family are in stark contrast to the pedestrians who are outside with their faces exposed.
"The head of the house is back!"
"Second young master, give the old slave something."
Most of the slaves surrounded the head of the family and Xu Feng, and Xu Xuan only had two Tsing Yi servants around him.
Xu Xuan didn't care, handed the reins of the horse to his subordinates, and came to the bamboo garden along the corridor.
The small bridge flows water, accompanied by bamboo.
The clothes stained with waterfall vapor were hung on the wall to dry, and a pot of hot tea was brewed, and Xu Xuan tasted it leisurely.
As a modern person, he is familiar with the road of rottenness, and he is not the owner of the house, but he is satisfied.
There is a tendency for slaves to become inflammatory, but as for the evil slaves and bullying masters in the novel, it didn't happen.
If it really happened, Xu Xuan would be kind-hearted and break one of their legs at most; If the owner of the house knows about it, then he will have to go to the back garden as fertilizer.
A concubine is not the same thing as a master and slave.
Xu Xuan put down the teacup and sighed again: "The smuggling business of killing the head, and the stepmother who does not tolerate others, it is not a simple matter to mess up." ”
But what can be done?
It is true that he is a modern person, but the experience of dealing with things in his previous life was all under sound legal rules.
Intrigue is something that most modern people are not good at.
In his previous life, he couldn't even fight the little supervisor who managed more than a dozen people in the company, let alone the supervisor, and even the game with the vegetable seller ended in failure; Not to mention the big family of these hundreds of people, as well as the women of the Shanban family who rule tens of thousands of people.
Distraught, Xu Xuan put down the teacup and came to the bed to sit cross-legged.
He took out a thin booklet from under the pillow, which had been read many times, and there were six big characters written on the cover: Chenzhou Fu Jingjie.
Chenzhou talisman is a talisman circulated by local shamans, and its talismans are mostly related to daily production, such as hemostatic talismans, belly pain talismans, hunting talismans, fishing bait, .......
The first part of the Chenzhou mantra is called the Tranquilizer Mantra.
This is the fundamental method of the Chenzhou talisman, which calms the nerves and senses the heavens, and then the spell can take effect.
Xu Xuan silently recited the incantation.
After a long time, I woke up, and a hint of disappointment flashed in my eyes.
Sure enough, no.
"If you want to live in peace, this is the only thing."
Xu Xuan looked left and right, made sure that the doors and windows were closed, and came to the bed to find something.
It's a rusty, palm-sized bronze mirror.
The mirror surface is covered with patina, and the back has a dragon and phoenix star pattern.
In the dim darkness of the night, the mirror glows yellowish.
This mirror is the only treasure that accompanied his own crossing, and he bought it at a stall, and the result came with his own crossing, and Xu Xuan's desire to seek the Tao came because of this.
The way it appeared was magical, and suddenly one day it was in the room.
Xu Xuan has always felt that there is a mysterious cultivation in this world.
After fumbling for a while, he was about to put it down.
Suddenly, the bronze mirror underwent a change.
(The new book set sail, and the brothers who think it looks good can read it, but now the starting point recommendation system is too harsh, and the new book is easy to not raise, and the little brother must be furious when it is put on the shelf.) )
