Chapter 276: Mule with cubs (2/2)

Chapter 276 The mule with cubs (22)

Lamb soup is very delicious,

At the same time, the odor is slightly heavier,

Those who like it really like this bowl of mutton soup,

Those who are disgusted will also hide their noses and walk away when they see the sheep soup shop.

In today's poor people, eating a bite of meat is already a great enjoyment, but it doesn't matter if the smell is not tainted.

All the disciples in the stove class ate sweetly,

Su Wu is no exception.

—He also likes to drink sheep soup.

The sesame seeds were broken and soaked in the soup, but there was no trace of the chili at the moment. It was not possible to sprinkle some mutton oil and chili in the mutton soup, which made Su Wu quite regretful. A chopstick to eat sheep lungs,

Then they drank a glass of wine together, and the red-faced master said, "Master, I wanted to ask you last night - are there still people like corpses driving? ?"

The dead, deserted villages, tombs, mass graves, etc.

is not just an empty phrase.

but it is true.

Although the reason is difficult to understand, it is always good for people to avoid these things.

So Su Wu couldn't understand why there was still such a profession as a corpse hunter?

Others wish to avoid Li Wei and go away,

They just ran around with the corpse and deliberately attracted Li Wei?

If the world is free from strangeness,

These people do just that.

But now, it is clearly a world with quirks, and the incident of terrifying and quirky invasions is something that exists in the memory of many people - I am afraid that it will not make sense to drive away the corpses like this.

Even if there is the temptation of wealth and silk,

Then you have to have a life to collect it!

"There are more corpse carpenters who have scattered contacts in Xiangxi,

Xiangxi has a lot of ghosts since ancient times, and strange phenomena such as grass, ghosts, mothers, and girls in the cave often occur here.

And these unconnected corpse hunters are also poor people.

They were accidentally entrusted by Li Wei, their parents and clan abandoned them,

In order to find a way to live, he settled in a village where the local guards parked the corpses, and settled down in a place where ordinary people simply don’t want to stay any longer.

Over time,

The corpse carpenters found out,

The corpse aura emanating from the corpses in Yizhuang has a miraculous effect on suppressing the savageness in their bodies.

Those who have died in foreign places are especially heavy with corpse qi.

Yes,

These first corpse hunters could not only charge a commission from the host, but also use the corpse aura emanating from the corpse to suppress the viciousness in the body, which will continue to be passed down in the future. Professors are also trapped by the viciousness. 's disciple,

The villages in various places communicate with each other,

eventually formed today's 'scattered contacts'. "

Li Yueshan drank a few mouthfuls of mutton soup and said a few words to Su Wu.

After drinking half a bowl of sheep soup,

After eating two biscuits, he finally finished his words.

"I see."

Su Wu nodded suddenly.

According to the master's words, it seems that he can accommodate two scorpion-controllers like himself, so he should be able to go to the corpse craftsmen and learn how to use corpse qi to suppress the scorpion in his body.

"The dead body is unlucky after all,

Drives away corpses all the year round, and travels all over the place. Aren’t the corpse hunters afraid of attracting sneaky people? "Su Wu asked thoughtfully.

"They have a lineage since the Song Dynasty,

Thinking about it, there is a set of methods that can avoid the tricky.

This is the secret of others,

I don't know about the old man. "Li Yueshan drank the last sip of wine with a 'Zi Liu', and ate the chopsticks at the bottom of the bowl, looking at the disciples,

Most of the disciples had finished their food before him.

Only Su Wu and the two women ate slower.

He knocked on the pipe pot in dissatisfaction, and said to Su Wu: "Eat quickly, don't talk about it!

I found out,

Every time you eat a lot slower than others,

At your age, you should gobble your food,

Eat so slowly, don’t you feel hungry? "

"Then what happened to the corpse hunter of the Maoshan witch?" Su Wu quickly asked another question, then turned to hold up the sea bowl, and immediately said, "You are talking, I will eat, and when you are finished, I will also finish! "

Master glared at Su Wu,

did not say anything else,

directly talked about the 'Maoshan witch': "The Taoist priests of the Shangqing line in Maoshan, combined with the local Wu Nuo method of Maoshan, are called 'Maoshan witch'.

The Taoist priests of this line are skilled in witchcraft,

He also practices Taoism, and is also a powerful character.

The corpse hunter in Maoshan, also known as the 'Moving Mountain Daoist'.

This does not mean that their Taoist magic can move mountains,

Rather, they are good at finding a place to gather gas and store wind between the ups and downs of mountains.

The so-called expelling the corpse by the Taoist priests,

is actually a kind of practice for them.

This 'corpse' is also not a dead body,

But their disciples, or their elders.

Bury the 'corpse' in the place where the qi and the wind gather,

Help 'corpse' practice!

This 'corpse' can be either a deity descending to the truth or an ancestor manifesting a saint. It is to investigate the past and use 'false' to cultivate the truth.

—The old man only knows so much.

If you have the opportunity to meet the Taoist priests of Maoshan Wu, you can ask them yourself - but whether they are happy to talk to you is another matter.

In fact, there are many connections between Taoism and witchcraft.

For example, the art of witchcraft is similar to Fuyao, stiff feet of horses, and inquisition of yin and insanity.

The more you know,

The more you can find out, that some of their rituals are very similar. "

Master looked at the ignorant eyes of the eldest disciple,

said again: "There will always be a chance to understand in the future, now, hurry up and drink your mutton soup!

is cold,

Waves are not wasted! "

Su Wu did not dare to speak any more, and drank all the sheep soup with his head snoring.

Lamb soup is very delicious,

It's a pity that he patronized the questioning, but he didn't taste it much.

Having breakfast,

Li Yueshan took a few coins for the sheep soup restaurant, so he had to allow everything to be put in their shop,

In this way, the group can travel lightly,

According to the instructions of the shopkeeper,

went to the cattle market in the east.

Now,

Not long after the livestock market started,

The dealers who were in a hurry to sell the animals for money had already tied the animals to the fences around the market,

There are many fewer people who come to the livestock market to hang out,

Most people come here,

Really need to buy a livestock to go back.

In this place, the stench and feces of all kinds of livestock are very strong. If it is not for the selection of livestock, no one will want to hang around in this kind of place.

in the livestock market,

Donkeys, cows and sheep are the majority,

There are fewer big mules, but seven or eight can be seen.

“Moo—”

"Ah-uh-ah-uh-"

"Hey chirp..."

The cries of various animals, mixed with a strong stench, rushed towards the faces of the stove team.

Master is carrying a small bag,

Walk along the back-shaped fence at will,

From time to time, ask the dealer to open an animal's mouth to look at its teeth, lift up its hoofs to look at its paws, and lift its tail to look at the dung door.

He obviously has some experience in buying large livestock,

Otherwise, I wouldn’t go straight to the city after eating somewhere.

Li Yueshan not only asked the price of the mules,

will also ask about the price of donkeys and cattle.

Su Wu followed behind him,

When the cows saw him, they all clucked their ears and pressed towards him, so much so that Li Yueshan couldn't help but say in surprise, "Are you a grass?

How could these oxen like it so much? "

“…”

looked at all the mules in the market,

Li Yueshan didn't like him at all.

"They are all donkeys and mules. In fact, donkeys and mules can also be used. They are enough to pull carts, and their endurance is stronger than that of donkeys or horses.

But these donkeys and mules here either have pus on their hoofs, or their stomachs are not right, or they are too old. If you want to use them, you must first treat them and get medicine. "

He shook his head again and again, not satisfied with this situation, but there was nothing he could do.

The people who sell large livestock within a hundred or ten miles are gathered here.

So I still don’t like the livestock I want to buy,

Then you have to settle for the next best thing.

"It's not bad to have a few donkeys here,

Or should we buy a donkey first? "Li Yueshan asked for the opinions of his disciples, mainly looking at Su Wu.

Su Wu said: "Why don't you buy two donkeys?

a male donkey, a female donkey,

Let them help pull the cart.

You can also let them mate and plant cubs in the future. "

"It's more than March now,

It's almost April, and it's not far from the time when the female donkey is in estrus.

so,

They are on the road,

A few donkeys, will you take care of them? "Li Yueshan squinted at this disciple who didn't understand common sense.

Su Wu opened his mouth,

Nothing to say.

finally,

Li Yueshan spent five or two or three dollars of silver,

bought a big green donkey.

Donkey is when he is strong and capable, and his temper is also gentler.

After eating a few handfuls of hay handed to him by Pearl, he was happily led away by the stove team.

"A donkey is no match for a mule,

There are not many goods, we have to do our best..."

While walking outside the fence, Li Yueshan said to his disciples.

They have not yet come out of the fence,

exit,

A black-faced man led a large animal that was also covered in black and oily, and walked in along the fenced aisle.

saw the big animal,

Li Yueshan's eyes were startled.

—The animal led by the black-faced man is a big mule!

However, the mule's stomach was a little bulging,

It was as if she was pregnant.

The horse mule is not like the donkey and mule, it should be infertile at all.

Can this mule appear, but it seems to be pregnant with a cub? !

"Is this mule for sale?"

Li Yueshan grabbed the strong man and asked.

"Sell!

Fifteen taels! "

The black-faced brawny man directly offered a price far exceeding the price of ordinary mules and horses. Seeing Li Yueshan frown, he quickly added: "My mule is pregnant with cubs!

When it gives birth to a cub, that cub can also be sold for money! "

"The hen can lay eggs too,

If you buy a hen, don’t you count the eggs she lays every day? "Li Yueshan's words left the other party speechless.

He then looked at the sturdy mare mule, which was not even inferior to a big stallion.

then said: "What's more,

A mule can't give birth, this is something everyone knows.

Who knows what kind of freak you have in your mule's belly?

If you can't give birth, it's just a miscarriage.

If a freak is born…”

"If you don't like to buy,

I am looking for someone else to sell it! "The black-faced man couldn't hold his face because of his words, and he led the mule and walked into the fence.

"Eh,

Don't worry,

So, how about I give you nine taels of silver to buy this mule?

You must know that this mule cannot give birth to a cub, but it is pregnant with a cub, which is not a good sign..."

"Nine taels is too low,

I can only give you fourteen or two and a half at least! "

"Don't talk nonsense,

I'll give you an honest price, twelve taels, okay? No problem, we have a good donkey anyway. "

“…

You add more, eleven taels! "

"Twelve or three coins!"

"Let's make it up, make it up, a dozen or a half?"
