The house is not big, more than fifty square meters.
The old wooden floor has lost its color, and the gaps have become very wide, and it has been pasted layer by layer with adhesive tape. The furniture and home appliances are quite complete, and occasionally there are a few new ones, which seem out of place among the old ones in the room.
Long Qiu sat on the sofa, watched Long Tang turn over the cupboard to boil water, and barely made a cup of tea. Then she sat across from each other, looking at each other silently.
"How long have you been here?"
Long Qiu picked up the cup and took a small sip.
"More than two years."
"All the people from the village have come?"
"Most of them came here, a few went out to work, and a few were eaten by wild beasts. Oh, my father and mother are also working outside, and they don't get off work very late. I entered the Meishanmen two years ago. Help the master gather medicine and make medicine."
"Oh, I'm fine too."
Long Qiu nodded, his eyes turned to the left for a while, then to the right for a while, and finally couldn't help but stop on the other party, and said with a smile: "You have grown up, and you are much taller."
"Sister..."
Long Tang didn't address him formally, but his eyes turned red when he heard this sentence, and he still called out, "Sister, I know you are capable now, you are doing well, and I am happy too."
She paused, and said, "You came back this time, is..."
"revenge?"
Long Qiu said it for her, then smiled and said: "Before I saw you, I didn't understand what I was thinking. Of course I understand now, I just came back to take a look, there is no revenge or no revenge."
"But you were wronged so much back then, do you really not hold grudges?"
"Ah… "
Xiaoqiu shook her head and sighed: "After all, it's a handful of loess. What's the point of me bearing grudges? A-mei, come here."
She called Long Tang to her side, held her younger sister's hand, and said earnestly: "Although I went through hardships at the beginning, you were harsh to me, but I know in my heart that you love me."
Long Tang blushed and did not speak.
They have been in love since they were young, and when Long Qiu came back after learning the Gu technique, he was rejected by his tribe, so he could only find a remote place outside the village to live alone.
A little girl is worried about food and clothing. In addition to his tenacity and toughness, Long Tang carried his parents behind his back and often helped him.
So the two sisters chatted for a while, and more than half of the estrangement has been eliminated.
"I can't finish talking about my past few years. Let me talk about the current troubles first. I just cleaned up the seven houses in Meishan. People who are interested will guess the relationship between you and me. I'm afraid they will make things difficult for you. You go back with me. OK?"
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Guanwai, a beautiful, warm, safe and lively place."
"..."
Looking into the other person's eyes, Long Tang's heart fluttered for a moment, but after turning around in his mind twice, he asked, "Are you looking for me alone? Or are you looking for the whole village?"
Without waiting for her to answer, he said again: "If you find me alone, I will not leave my parents behind and go with you. If you don't mind the past and let the whole village move, I am very grateful, but I don't think it is very good You are successful in cultivation and don't care about the past, but the people in the village don't think so. They have lost to you, and now they are favored by you. If they appreciate it, they will be grateful, but if they don't appreciate it, they will be stable, and they will definitely become more jealous in their hearts. There will inevitably be troubles again. It is better to say goodbye and never see each other. Besides, we are used to staying in Xiangxi, and it is really not suitable for outside the customs. As for the affairs of the seven clans, you don’t have to worry. It's not pleasing to the eye. It's just that the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and the west wind overwhelms the east wind. I'm fine. Because of you, they will take more care of me... "
She blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, the core meaning is: I don't want to go with you.
Long Qiu was rather stunned. She suddenly discovered that A-mei was more... oh no, she was much more mature than she imagined.
She didn't know what to say, she was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "Well, I won't force you. You are right, no one dares to make things difficult for you here. That's fine, but the other You have to listen to me. I see that the innate senior, although he has internal cultivation methods, he does not focus on cultivating energy and calming the mind. The difference between masters is not a star. Since you don't want to leave, I will pass on a formula to you, which can be practiced with the Meishan method to stabilize the foundation."
"You are the master's secret method, I can't take it!"
Long Tang stood up awkwardly, and was instantly pressed down by his sister again, "What is the secret method of the master, you have seen this man before, you have even ridden in his car, and he looks good..."
"What are you talking about?" The girl was a little embarrassed.
"Boom boom boom!"
During the stalemate, someone knocked on the door outside, Long Tang went to open the door, but it was a young woman who smiled and said, "A Tang, you are here."
"Help sister, come in!"
She let the other party into the room, and introduced: "I'm under the Fu family. This is the patriarch's granddaughter, Fu Yao, and also my senior sister. She treats me very well at ordinary times. This is my elder sister."
"I have seen the seniors!"
Fu Yao didn't dare to trust her, she saluted politely, and said: "Grandpa heard that you are here, and wanted to invite you over to have a chat. He was going to come in person, but his legs and feet are old and he can't move, how can you help me?" be magnanimous."
Um
Long Qiu was startled, and looked at A-Mei unconsciously, but saw Long Tang winking at him, which meant: Look, he's here to take care of me.
She couldn't help laughing, got up and said: "There is no need to be polite, I should also go to visit the elders."
Saying that, the three of them went out and took a boat to the other side of the river. There is also a wooden house over there, but it is slightly dilapidated. They entered a small courtyard, where an old man on crutches was waiting.
This person is called Fufasheng, the patriarch of the Fu clan. Meishan has 20 old surnames, dominates the orthodoxy of the navy, and the Fu family belongs to the middle and lower classes, so the sense of existence is not strong.
The old man's eyes were vicious, and when he inquired about Long Qiu's background, he immediately thought it was a good opportunity to hug his thigh.
Meishan is high in the sky and the emperor is far away. He is self-proclaimed and looks at the sky from a well. Although he has heard the name of Phoenix Mountain, he doesn't take it seriously. As a result, when they met, they were instantly killed.
Several people entered the house and sat down, exchanging greetings. Long Qiu was not stupid, he could guess how much, but the other party didn't mention it, so he pretended not to know.
She was very curious about the other party's broken leg, and couldn't help but said: "Grandfather Fu, I heard that the Meishan Hua Tuo method is good at connecting bones and tendons, and it has wonderful effects on both internal and external injuries, but how did you do it?"
"Forty years ago, I went hunting in the mountains. I stumbled into a snake's den by mistake and was besieged by snakes. I was young and not very good at learning, and there were too many poisonous snakes, so I couldn't perform well. Later, I managed to escape, and my tribe healed me. The poisonous blood was at stake, so I had no choice but to force the poisonous blood to my left foot and cut it off to save my life. Hehe, after so many years, I have already gotten used to it."
The old man explained, then changed his voice, and praised: "You are young and promising. Compared with an old man like me, half of your body is buried in the soil. Ah Tang is also good. She has studied under my school for two years, and I am as good as I am when I grow up." See it."
"I'm sorry, it's better for you to teach." Long Qiu said with a smile.
After a round of business bragging, the old man finally got to the point, "To tell you the truth, I invite you to come here this time, and I have one more thing to ask."
After saying that, he suddenly got off his crutches, stood upright with one foot, and solemnly said: "The twenty surnames of Meishan are united externally and suppressed internally. When those seven families left, the other seven families rose again and took turns to sit in the village. I The Fu Clan has few people, and in A Yao's generation, there are only six successors. Fenghuang Mountain cultivates the Taoist orthodox method, and is the leader in the world. Two hearts!"
"grandfather!"
Fu Yao was stunned, she didn't expect such a violent attack. Long Tang was also very confused, the degree of this kind of care was too unexpected.
"..."
On the contrary, Long Qiu was very steady. After thinking about it seriously, he said, "This matter is very important. I need to think about it. I will stay here for a few days and I will give you an answer before I leave."
"Then thank you very much!"
Fu Fasheng bowed, sat down again, took out a booklet from his arms, and said with a smile: "I, Meishan Xiaoshu, are not in your eyes, but the spells are interoperable, and the interaction is important. This is Fu's booklet. Law, please give me one or two pointers."
Eh! The old man was very smart, he first expressed his sincerity, and the other party was too embarrassed to agree.
Long Qiu didn't want to accept it at first, but when he suddenly thought of that majestic tiger, he couldn't help but feel moved. She has no feelings for anything else, but she is still somewhat interested in rampant law.
"I can't talk about advice. I'm really curious about Meishan's rampant method. I appreciate your kindness. Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, there will be rewards."
…
"Meishan's legal system is heterogeneous, and the patriarchs enshrined are also different. For example, if it is integrated with the Lushan religion, it is dedicated to Chen Sanniang, and if it is integrated with the Luban method, it is dedicated to the patriarch Gongshu. However, there is a recognized patriarch in Meishan, which is Fantan Zhang Wulang. Zhang Wulang was born out of phase, with his feet up, his hands and head down, and he walked upside down...here, right in front."
In the mountains of Anhua, two girls are taking a leisurely walk. Long Tang pointed forward, leading his sister to a strange statue.
This is a huge stone man, with his hands on the ground, his feet facing the sky, and his big face is embarrassing. It is obviously the legendary Zhang Wulang.
"It was built by the local government. It originally wanted to develop a tourist area, but it turned yellow later. Don't worry about it."
After Long Tang got close to his elder sister, he no longer restrained himself, and returned to his former lively and dexterous.
She explained as she walked, and then said: "The rampant method is the core and main attack method of the Meishan method. It is easy to get started, but difficult to master. There is just a place where the five elements crystallize in the mountain, and we all subdue the rampant soldiers there. Listen to Shigong, There are soldiers and horses in the upper and lower altars in the orthodox Taoism, but only the lower altars in folk law. There are four types of altars in the lower altars: five rampant soldiers and horses, five manifested spirit officials, five common soldiers and horses, and wandering soldiers and horses. The five rampant soldiers and horses are actually Yin soldiers The higher the cultivation base, the more summons, and the higher the rank. It is said that Zhang Wulang has five rampants on the east road, five ramps on the south road, five ramps on the west road, five ramps on the north road, and five ramps on the middle road, with a total of 300,000 rampant soldiers .”
"Thirty thousand?"
Long Qiu was a little startled, and a concept that Xiao Jinjin had mentioned flashed through his mind, isn't this the necromancer! ! !
"Wutong soldiers and horses are not aggressive and very lazy, but they are familiar with the customs of a place. If you want to know something, just ask them. However, the recovery time of the spiritual energy is too short, and most of them are wandering ghosts. grown to this point."
"oh."
Long Qiu understood again, the Lord of the Land!
"The five manifested spiritual officials are the most spiritual. They are spirits who practice in the crystallization of the five elements. The mage recruits them as partners to practice together. When they encounter bottlenecks, they will also assist in the ritual. Are you a teacher? Uh... it's a shadow. Some After the death of an old Taoist priest who has no heirs, he has the opportunity to become a Yin master. He will gather soldiers and horses, roam around, and look for disciples who will inherit his Dharma. It seems to be a lot, but in fact, there are only rampant soldiers now, and we have taken them in. A lot."
After Long Tang finished explaining, he suddenly lowered his body, slid into a dense forest, brushed aside the half-human-high weeds, and whispered: "Sister, come quickly, this is the place where you can get rid of the rampant."
