Tan Xiao directly lifted her mother's old bottom, Mao Mao hesitated and said, "Then you, give me something to defend yourself." ”

"Yes, yes, does the spirit master have any magic weapons that can ward off evil spirits that I can buy?" Wu's mother looked like she wanted to swipe her card on the spot.

"Sister Maomao, didn't I tell you that our old magic utensils have been donated to the Folk Customs Museum." Tan Xiao himself has a string of charms, pendants and the like, but many of these are Tan Chunying's handwritings, which belong to real cultural and creative products, and they are used to display the goods on his body.

"Ms. Wu, don't provide any more for these and those at home, that big stove king is pretty good." Duanyang still has a say in this regard, he took out some cinnabar, "This is cinnabar, let Tan Xiao draw a peace charm for each of you." ”

Cinnabar is another name for cinnabar, and it is authentic cinnabar, and the cinnabar produced in Chenzhou is recognized as the best. Chenzhou is the same as Chu, the witch culture has a far-reaching influence, and the Chenzhou charm drawn by cinnabar is quite famous, and it is also a kind of folk witchcraft.

The spirit master talisman also has a variety of effects, Tan Xiao is stained with cinnabar to paint the evil talisman, the talisman head talisman gall, and the snake foot at the end of the talisman writes the words "peacock is here", and then folds it up skillfully wrapped in a plastic sleeve.

He also gave Wu Tianyu an additional requiem talisman.

Duanyang also used salt and rice to wipe Wu Tianyu's hands and feet, which are common things in people's homes, and also have the effect of driving away filth and evil. The folk of Southern Chu have always had the tradition of mixing salt, rice and tea in cloth bags as evil spirits.

Mao Mao looked at it curiously, and also helped Wu Tianyu wipe it, just because he didn't believe it before, but now he is particularly interested. He looked at it, and found that Tan Xiao was also squatting next to him and watching seriously.

"What are you looking at?" Mao Mao asked.

“…… Is there a special way to learn it secretly? Tan Xiao also knows many ways to exorcise impurity, but he actually wants to see if people who have really fallen into evil will have a special reaction when they get rid of defilement.

Maomao: "......"

Duanyang: "...... is kidding, you learn from me."

The conclusion is that there is no special reaction, Wu Tianyu is still dizzy, of course, this may also be embarrassed to wake up.

After the defilement was completed, Wu's mother and Mao Mao helped people to set off to the hospital, while Tan Xiao and his party stayed to clean up the aftermath and clean up the room. Duanyang sprinkled salt and rice while reciting the mantra of removing defilement: "Heaven and earth are natural, and the filth is dispersed ......."

After reading two sentences, I heard the kitchen jingle and a strange sound.

Tan Xiao had heard a movement when he was steaming buns in the kitchen before, and at that time he only thought it was something that was entangled with Wu Tianyu, that is, Zhong Dabeard. But now that Zhong's beard has been arrested, and he has operated to expel filth, how can there be any movement.

Tan Xiao and Duanyang glanced at each other, and then looked at Ah Jin...... Okay, I couldn't see Ah Jin's eyes, so we walked carefully to the kitchen together.

Duanyang took out the compass, gestured a few times, and said uncertainly: "It seems that there is something ......?" ”

Tan Xiao asked, "Is that on?" ”

This is not necessarily a good thing, just like at the beginning, I couldn't see the strangeness of Wu Tianyu's body, Duanyang remembered the fierceness of Fang Caizhong's beard, and now his waist was still a little painful, and he said: "You should go on this, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”

Tan Xiao didn't feel a lot of danger, he followed the sound and walked in, and when he looked closely, the sound came from the cupboard, and it was getting louder and louder.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Tan Xiao was ready to pinch it at any time with one hand, and opened the cabinet with the other, only to see a rice cooker inside.

Just as he was hesitating, the bouncing rice cooker was pushed open by something from the inside, and the lid popped open, revealing a translucent villain lying in a sea bowl, the whole rope tied to the bacon was tied to Wuhua Dahua, and a soy sauce bottle cap was also blocked in the mouth.

This little man has distinct facial features, and is wearing a turquoise round-necked robe, a black gauze hat, and the kind with two wings on the back, and the robe is rotten, leaving several wounds from the teeth, and when he sees them, he whines.

It seems that it is the sound it makes.

That's it, Tan Xiao pinched the villain with one hand, "It doesn't seem to be very scary." ”

Duanyang: "......" knew that I was on it.

There are few monsters to talk about, and he looked at it strangely, "What kind of monster is this?" ”

Duanyang looked at it, as if he recognized it, clicked on the "King of the Great Stove", and said in disbelief: "Just like the God of Wealth has a lucky boy, Guanyin has a dragon girl with good wealth, and there is also a boy under the seat of the Lord of the Stove, called the Rice Boy, who is responsible for guarding the pot after the meal is ready, to prevent evil ghosts from stealing food." But this is the first time I've seen the real thing......"

Speaking of this, Duanyang also realized, "I just said that his family posted the stove prince, and it was useless, it turned out that the rice boy was tied up." ”

He also bitten and was covered in wounds.

This stove king is also very busy, of course, he will not bow to everything, and at this time he needs a horse boy like a rice boy, who is active in thousands of households. Zhong Dabeard only dared to tie the rice boy here, and did not bite him to death directly, probably for fear that it would sue, and that something would happen to attract the attention of the stove king.

As soon as Tan Xiao heard that he was not a villain, he untied the rope of the rice boy, and it looked strangely weak.

The rice boy staggered to his feet, probably too badly injured, and he didn't know what to say, only to see his red eyes fall on the garbage bag in Tan Xiao's hand, and he recognized that it was Zhong Dabeard.

"Ahhh

hit Zhong's bearded head, and there was a muffled bang.

The rice boy put the spoon and landed in a chic manner, and it was not enough at once, so he bounced up again and hit Zhong Dabeard frantically, and knocked a dozen spoonfuls at a fast pace without a head or brain, and actually woke up the faint Zhong Dabeard directly, and a big bag was swollen on his head.

Tan Xiao looked at the height at which it jumped, and suddenly reacted: when he saw Wu Tianyu in the cafeteria that day, there were some spots and bruises on his legs, and he never understood how it came about......

Now I know.

"Oops! Ah! Zhong Dabeard was so angry that he couldn't resist when he was restrained, so he only twisted his head and scolded, "Kid dares!" ”

Why didn't the rice boy dare to continue knocking? It's just that it lacks physical strength, so it jumped up and poked it with a spoon instead, and scolded something vaguely in its mouth, saying that it dared to hurt my family's believers, and it was very irritable.

Tan Xiao and Duanyang looked down from the side, not kindly leaving a chance for the rice boy to take revenge, but it jumped around beating Zhong Beard, the battle was very large, the movement was very small, and the dingding was like a rat at home.

Tan Xiao didn't know where to start, so she reached out and grabbed the rice boy when she saw it.

At this time, the boy who kept the rice was also exhausted, and fainted with a pop......

This, what to do? Tan Xiao looked at the soul body paralyzed in the palm of his hand, which was a bit like the soul form of the Peacock God, but it was more translucent, like a projection.

Tan Xiao didn't dare to use force in his hands, grabbed the collar between his two fingers, and asked Duanyang: "Do you want to take it back and treat it?" ”

Duanyang was also stupid, "I want to take it back, it's the first time I've seen the true body of the rice boy, but I can't cure it." "He's a healer, but he really doesn't include treating the rice boy.

Tan Xiao had some questions: "It's the first time you've seen you?" ”

Tan Xiaoxin said that it was the first time she saw her, why haven't you seen it before?

Don't say that, Duanyang Khan said: "I still think that I saw it with you, after all, in addition to the rice boy, it is also the first time I have seen the real body of the great god invited......

Speaking of which, Tan Xiao remembered that there was a peacock god at home, Duanyang would not be cured, but the peacock should be cured, right?

Tan Xiao put the rice boy in his pocket, so that the matter was over.

Duanyang Chong Tan Xiao arched his hand, "Spirit Master, let's contact WeChat." ”

"Okay, you're welcome." Tan Xiao also waved her hand.

The two parted ways, and one took the rice boy back to heal his injuries and write a new sequel to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". A bearded man returned to 404 to do reinstatement, registration, writing materials, review, and closing the case......

……

When Tan Xiao went home, he happened to meet the courier at the door, and Tan Chunying was helping him sign for it.

Tan Chunying saw him and asked, "Did you order this, it was sent from the master, what kind of mask is this?" ”

"The mask is ready?" Tan Xiao was pleasantly surprised. This is exactly the god position he customized for the Peacock God, and he said casually, "Yes, I am determined to set a sect master god, Peacock." ”

Kong Xuan heard the movement and walked out slowly, just in time to hear Tan Chunying say, "What peacock?" ”

Kong Xuan: "......"

"Don't be too outrageous," Tan Xiao also felt that her mother was incredible, and emphasized, "Peacock, son of Yuanfeng!" ”

"Oh, yes, Yuan Feng gave birth to two sons, Peacock and Dapeng," Tan Chunying patted his head, "Alas, I'm old and I don't have a good memory." ”

Kong Xuan: ...... Forget it, Yuanfeng is on top, give Tan Xiao a face.

"Oh, haha, you've done it alone twice, you really want to set up your own altar, right? When I was a child, I watched TV, and I didn't say that I wanted to set up a gourd baby as the suzerain. Tan Chunying said happily, "Then you can get it yourself, I'll go out to play." ”

Kong Xuan: ?

"Bye-bye." Tan Xiao tried not to look at Kong Xuan's eyes......

Tan Xiao took the express box and entered the house, and went directly to his room on the second floor. Without waiting for Kong Xuan to complain, he took out the rice boy.

"Great God, you should know what this is, right?" Talk about Xiaodao.

"Rice boy." Kong Xuan recognized it, and he said very indifferently, "What are you doing when you pick it up?" It won't stop your mom from stealing offerings. ”

&

nbsp; Tan Xiao: "............"

Don't scold, don't scold.

“…… This is provided by Wu Tianyu's family, as if he discovered the existence of the gray immortal and lost the fight with him. Tan Xiao said, "I just see that it is very seriously injured, and I want to ask the great god if he knows how to treat it?" ”

"Eat more and you'll be fine." Kong Xuan didn't care too much.

Well, it's okay to eat more, isn't that the same as a great god? Tan Xiao said in his heart.

But speaking of which, the boy who keeps the rice is also a boy under the throne of the stove, and the peacock is counted as having a public office. The difference is that the peacock is the second generation of gods, while the rice boy is a grassroots civil servant who guards the front line.

After the Emperor Slurry, they are also very busy like the 404 Office.

When Tan Xiao heard that it was okay, she put the rice boy aside, opened the express box again, and took out a wooden mask about 40 centimeters long.

According to Tan Xiao's request, the mask is mainly gold and green, after all, it is a peacock.

In fact, when making masks, green is often used to hook judges, bull-headed horses, and so on, but the green used by the master is close to turquoise, and it is embellished with sparkling gold. There is also a openwork feather frame, which immediately loses the eerie and terrifying feeling of the judge's face.

This is to ask the craftsman to use the best poplar wood to carve carefully, first to put it in a cool and ventilated place for more than half a month. Then draw the shape, dig the gourd, go deep into the seal carving, dig the facial parts one by one, and then have to go through the steps of polishing and coloring, frying and so on. And the polishing is more than once, several times.

The openwork on the basis of the relief makes the mask more layered, no wonder it takes so long. Now that it is in the hands of Tan Xiao, there is only one last step left, Kaiguang.

In the rules of the spirit master, Tan Xiao is actually counted as Tan Chunying's assistant when he opens the altar himself, strictly speaking, he is just a little spirit master. Now that the masks have arrived, Tan Xiao can open the altar by herself, and she can finally take out the peacock god from the pile of masks and worship it alone.

In some places, the masks are displayed, in other places they are placed in cages, or they are covered with curtains.

As for Tan Xiao, he is going to hang it up in front of the table next to the bed, so that this desk can also be used as an offering table. Kong Xuan was very satisfied, because in this way, Tan Xiao's offering was placed in the room, and there was no need to worry about Tan Chunying coming to steal it.

But as usual, Tan Xiao had to make some offerings first.

Because it is a ceremony to set up the suzerain, in order to show its importance, Tan Xiao spent a lot of pocket money to buy good food.

Now is a good season to eat crabs, the best crab is still the lake crab, the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake is the most famous, Tan Xiao doesn't know if he bought the hairy crab in Yangcheng Lake, after all, many crabs can be called this when they go to Yangcheng Lake to go around. However, he assured that he was carefully selected and selected by the top.

Most of the time, everyone eats crab alone, and there is no need to add other accessories.

But today, Tan Xiao made some tricks and made a hibiscus set of crabs, after all, on the day of the gods, you can be a little fancy. Especially when I deliberately waited to talk about Chunying's absence.

There are many water systems in Nanchu, so the people of Nanchu are very good at eating fish, shrimp and crabs and other aquatic products, Tan Xiao first steamed the crab, picked out the crab meat and crab roe, and then cut the mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, shrimp, chicken breast and other side dishes into dices, add condiments and crab meat and crab roe to stir-fry together and make it into a filling.

By this point, the smell of fresh food was already filling the kitchen.

Kong Xuan stood at the door of the kitchen with his arms crossed.

Tan Xiao said: "Do you really have nothing else?" "Let's not see, are there any other believers in the world who are going to take care of other people's businesses?

"It's fine." Kong Xuan said bluntly, the physics homework had already been written, and he didn't know if he was right or not.

All right. Tan Xiao continued to grease the crab shell and stuff it in the pot to steam, cooked the minced fish, soaked the egg white and smeared it on the minced fish, sprinkled some minced ham, and steamed it in the same pot. Finally, it is also thickened and poured on the crab, and the fish and crab are arranged in one place, shaped like hibiscus, stirred by the hot oil, and the umami smell is tangy.

This hibiscus crab process is varied and exquisite, and it is delicious, Kong Xuan saw it, and he had all his face, so he was not too satisfied!

"This should be eaten while it's hot." Anyway, Kong Xuan is at home, and Tan Xiao doesn't have to be so particular about the ceremony, he wants to eat the delicious dishes while they are hot, so he asked Kong Xuan to move the chopsticks first, and then he will make other dishes.

Before the establishment of God, God had arrived, and he was so capricious.

However, when the crab was served, the heat flickered, and I saw that a wisp floated to the unconscious rice boy next to him, and the soul gradually became clear to the naked eye, and the wound recovered!

Until the end, the form similar to Kong Xuan, without looking carefully or touching, is almost indistinguishable from the entity.

"Uh......" the rice boy chirped.

Tan Xiao heard the voice, looked back, and hey, he really woke up.

This thing is the fragrance of thousands of families' rice, Kong Xuan also said, eat something and wake up, this is what it needs to eat, the fragrance of rice.

The rice boy rolled twice on the table, stretched his legs with difficulty, jumped up, and looked at Tan Xiao dizzily, he had been listening to the movement in the pot before, this was the spirit witch who saved himself. There seems to be a sacrificial god of the spirit witch family next to it, and I don't know which god it is, and he enjoys the sacrifice with his back to him.

At this time, it is generally Xie Zhengzhu, he knelt down on one knee, because his body was solid, and when he knelt down, he made a sound: "The spirit witch is polite, and he has not thanked him for saving his life!" ”

The rice boy knelt down and still held its rice spoon that was taller than his body, like holding a spear, Tan Xiao also held a spatula in his hand, bowed slightly to look at him, the two of them actually looked at it in a daze, Tan Xiao looked at it curiously, "It's okay, are you okay?" Would you like to eat more? ”

The rice boy's eyes lit up, it is different from those ghosts who steal food, it has a regular system, and it will only eat when the master's family provides food, and the better it is, the better the effect for it.

Hearing Tan Xiao say this, it was reserved for about 0.3 seconds, and then wiped the spoon on its body, "Then thank you!" ”

Kong Xuan, who was sitting with his back to them, snorted, "Enough is enough." ”

He saw that Tan Xiao wanted to save the rice boy, so he shared a wisp of rice, and Tan Xiao actually wanted to invite the rice boy to continue eating.

Kong Xuan sneered: "What, you want to invite it to the altar too?" ”

The boy was indignant, yes, no one would invite it to the altar, but there was no need to say that, it was already a violent temper, and said indignantly: "I am also a boy under the throne of the stove......"

Kong Xuan glanced back at it.

The boy recognized who it was, and was almost choked by himself, "Ahem, cough!" ”

Although it had grievances, it also admired this person's force value, and bowed his head and said: "It was His Royal Highness the Peacock, it was rude." ”

Who doesn't know that the peacock god has a bad temper, and sometimes even Yuan Feng can't restrain it.

"Don't do this when you eat, I've made a lot more, the crabs are all yours, give it a little side dish, okay?" Tan Xiao gestured a little.

Kong Xuan crossed his arms and looked at the sky: "You can watch it." ”

Tan Xiao exhaled, it's okay, in fact, the peacock god is reasonable.

The boy was also surprised in his heart, although he had not had the opportunity to contact this great god head-on before, how could it seem that his temper was not as bad as the legend?

At this time, Kong Xuan secretly glanced at the rice boy, and the killing machine was locked, showing the threat of threat.

Rice Boy: "......"

Tan Xiao turned his head again, and Kong Xuan continued to look at the sky indifferently.

Angry, the rice boy punched the air, impotent and furious.

“？” Tan Xiao looked at it, why did she suddenly go crazy again, "You...... Do you still eat or not? ”

The boy is in a dilemma," ...... You can just give some leftovers, don't be hungry. I—I'm still in a hurry to go back to my life. ”

Tan Xiao couldn't help but laugh and took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, "Why don't you drink something first." ”

Kong Xuan didn't disdain to drink this thing, but after tasting it, the rice boy gave a long hiccup, and said with bright eyes: "Yes, interesting." Just looking at what other people eat, I really haven't eaten it. ”

- It is said that it also has to rely on eating sacrifices, and it is generally the sacrifice of the king of the stove, how can ordinary people take Coke to sacrifice the king of the stove.

Tan Xiao feels like watching cartoons, if he is still in elementary school, he should ask the boy to accompany him to school. Smiled again and continued to cook.

The rice boy sat on the spice jar and looked around, this spirit witch is really all-powerful! I beat the rat essence who stole food, and I made delicious food.

He touched each other's feet and whispered: "It's like a dream, I used to dream that all the places on errands were like this, the host was kind and generous and delicious, I sat behind the pot, guarding the ...... of the meal"

Tan Xiao was about to pick up the stubble, so he listened to the rice boy pause, glanced at the peacock, and whispered to himself: "I wouldn't dream of this." ”

Tan Xiao: "......"

Whether this is a scolding or a compliment, Tan Xiao wants to laugh a little.

Kong Xuan didn't know if he heard it, but he saw that Tan Xiao was still chatting with the rice boy, so he took the time to knock on the table and said dissatisfiedly: "Preparing for the sacrifice, don't you know that you are concentrated, serious, and serious?"

Otherwise, how to show attention.

Talking about Xiaoxin shows that you also ate it yourself, and you don't think the ceremony is not rigorous enough.

"Great God, I attach great importance to it, otherwise what would I do to hibiscus crabs. But you have to admit that we have been working together for a while, and this is just a ceremony, so there is no need to dwell on the details. ”

Tan Xiao looked at the sacrifices she had prepared, and suddenly thought that this was still a mandatory contract at the beginning, and teased: "Hey, if Ah Jin is here, will he say that this is marriage first and love later, or get on the bus first and then buy a ticket?" ”

Kong Xuan: "............"

Kong Xuan was silent for a while, and buried himself in eating. ：，m..，.
