96. Don't act
Running on the country road, Wang Qilin took out a bull's horn and asked, "Dao Chief, what's the use of this?"
Xie Toad said: "The two cows are psychic old cows, and this horn is a rare Taoist material, and you can refine it into a magic weapon if you find an expert." ”
"What magic weapon?"
"Have you ever heard the words "drums and horns" and "horns to collect troops?" The horns of the psychic old cow can be refined into the number of soldiers and the number of troops, and these two horns can lead the Yin soldiers!"
Since ancient times, the horns used in the military are made of animal horns, and because of its high-pitched and powerful voice, it is often used on the battlefield to give orders and withdraw troops.
However, with the widespread use of horns, the materials for making horns have also been changed to bamboo, wood, leather, copper horns, screw horns, etc., which are easily available, and there are not many animal horns.
Wang Qilin was surprised: "These two horns have such a great effect?"
Xie Toad smiled and said, "Not yet, you have to ask the Dao Sect Master to refine it into a magic weapon." In addition, the power of these two horn refining magic weapons may not be very strong, after all, they are just taking their own old cattle. I once saw a troop horn made of the horns of the Tianzhu White Sacred Cow, and the horn could raise eight hundred soldiers from the Yellow Spring when it sounded, and it was really invincible, and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha!"
Wang Qilin played with the horns and said, "The Taoist chief has extraordinary insight, how could he let me recruit in a small place in the countryside?
What he said was very profound.
Xie Toad laughed: "The old Taoist priest has taken more bridges, and he has naturally seen more people and ghosts, drive!"
He flicked the reins, and the horse galloped away.
Xu Da raised his eyebrows at him ambiguously: "Maybe this is fate." ”
Jixiang County and Gaoyuan County were separated by 200 miles, and although the three of them rode horses, they still couldn't reach Dachong Township that day.
The main reason is that Xu Da is too heavy, the yellow horse under his crotch is really poured blood mold, and he has to stop and rest when he runs two sticks of incense, and his tired eyes are straight after he arrives in Dachongxiang the next day.
Wang Qilin said impatiently: "I won't take you with me next time I go far away." ”
Xie Toad's war horse was the most relaxed, he used Taoism to reduce his own weight, and the horse ran like a paper man.
The yellow horse is going to die of envy.
The Du family is a famous family in Dachong Township, the Sun family where Sun Miao is located is a hereditary pilgrim, and the Du family is a hereditary carving master.
Xu Dalai was a guest at Du's house, and he drove to the door of the largest house in the township.
The courtyard wall of this house extends hundreds of steps on both sides, and there are exquisite murals on it, and there is a two-person high stone fierce god town house at the door, which is full of style.
The large wooden door with a height of one and a half zhang was open, and Wang Qilin went to the door to look inside, and there were people in the yard petting cats in the shade of trees.
The people in the shade of the trees also subconsciously looked out when they heard the footsteps.
The two looked at each other.
Du a pleasant life interrupted......
"you, don't come to harm, remember me? Xu Da let go of the horse and entered the door.
His horse was unleashed, and he was too tired to walk.
Du Cao looked confused: "Xu Da, Xu Da, Xu Da, are you the merchant who often comes to the township to visit the house?"
Xu Da was disappointed: "No, alas, it seems that you owe me the sixty silver baht I am not going to come back." ”
Du Cao was surprised: "I still owe you silver baht?"
"Sixty, no, one hundred and sixty. ”
Wang Qilin noticed that the corners of Du Cao's mouth twitched slightly.
The little servant of the Du family went in to inform the head of the Du family, and a thin old man in his sixties walked out.
The old man looked a little terrible, his neck and face were tattooed all over his clothes, and his slight smile frightened the children next door to cry.
Xu Da introduced to both parties, the old man is the head of the Du family's generation and Du Cao's uncle, his name is Du Meng, and his image looks very fierce.
Du Meng was kind and cheerful, and came up to greet him very warmly: "The three adults are busy with official business, and they have not forgotten their old friends, which is really commendable." Please come with me, I also had an old friend visit a few days ago, brought me some good tea before the rain, and invited three adults to taste it. ”
Du Cao nodded with a confused and polite smile on his face: "Are we old friends?
Wang Qilin went up to hug him in a sad state, and then whispered in his ear: "master, don't pretend to be with me, you can't be authentic, you run away by yourself when you encounter danger, and as a result, my brother was pitted by Shi Zhoushan, this is to find you to save your life." ”
Du Cao stepped back in surprise and said, "What did this adult say?"
Wang Qilin said: "Don't you see that you are exposed? I introduced myself to you when you woke up, it's normal for you not to remember Xu Da, but you shouldn't remember me." It seems that the master doesn't need to act in his hometown to pretend to have amnesia, and this acting skill is not very passable. ”
Du Cao hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, my lord, my brain is not very good, and my memory has become very poor." ”
"Then can you still remember the tiger skin?" Wang Qilin smiled, "master, I'm not here to ask you to hold you accountable, I just want to ask you for a favor and save your life, I know you're not a ruthless person, you can't die without help, right?"
"And as far as I know, this Qin Jin Tribulation is a causal calamity, you once made a small seal, this calamity will never let you go! So, we have to work together to get through the ghost gate together!"
He believed that this last sentence would touch Du Cao.
Sure enough, Du Cao saw that the others had already entered the house and finally stopped acting.
He sighed and smiled bitterly, and said, "How do you want me to save you? I am a mud bodhisattva who has crossed the river!"
Speaking of this, he shook his head again: "Shi Zhoushan is so ruthless, he actually promoted you to a newcomer to make a small seal." Xiao Qi, I didn't want to hurt you, I never thought that he would let a newcomer make a small seal. ”
Wang Qilin said: "I understand this, I don't need to explain, I'm not here to trouble you, I found some news now, one of which is about Zhou Zhongsheng, but I only found such a name, and I can't get other information, so I came to you to ask." ”
Du Cao was surprised and said, "Zhou Zhongsheng, it's not easy for you to find him so quickly, sit down, I'll tell you slowly." ”
He came to the right place this time, Du Cao knew more news than others, and he also couldn't get rid of the Qin Jin Tribulation, so he was not afraid of being infected with cause and effect.
"This week, Zhongsheng is a scholar in Jixiang County, and his family lives next to the livestock city in the outer city, so you can find out about him if you go there and ask. He was born with yin and yang eyes, and he could see ghosts and identify the true body of demons, so after repeated failures, he became a traveling star, and he was considered to have entered the ranks. ”
Wang Qilin said: "Okay, I'll go to him when I go back to the county." ”
Du Cao snorted: "You can find out about him when you go, but find him? Hehe, you can't find him when you search Jixiang County." Let me ask you, what else did the person who told you the news about Zhou Zhongsheng say about Zhou Zhongsheng?"
Wang Qilin said: "That is to say, he just went to Fulong Township for a few days, so he escaped the Qin and Jin Tribulations, but the three souls who were also tossed in the post house were separated from the body, and the seven spirits were scattered......"
"Nonsense," Du Cao interrupted him, "Zhou Zhongsheng did end up with three souls out of his body and his vitality was greatly damaged, but he didn't stay in the post house and be tossed by Qin Jin. ”
Eleven years ago, just after noon in the middle of July, he went crazy and ran to the torii township. There is a general's mansion in the archway township, at that time, the general has not returned to his hometown, there are only a few servants in the general's mansion, there should be a master among these servants, he hid in the general's mansion to avoid the catastrophe!"
"After the Qin Jin Tribulation, he was seriously injured and only left half of his life, so he couldn't continue to stay in the Heavenly Prison and went home. But when he returned home, he found that Qin Jin didn't kill him, but he attacked his parents, wife and children, and the whole door was destroyed!"
"Hit by this, Zhou Zhongsheng left Jixiang County and went to Yongshui County, where the Zeng ghost was located in the Qin and Jin Tribulations, took refuge in the monkhood, and chanted for the victims of the catastrophe day and night, so that he survived to this day!"
