"There are three left in the entire Jin clan, or are there three left in your tribe?" Wu Dongfang asked.
Ming Yue opened the swaddling clothes and looked at the baby inside, "There are only three survivors in the whole clan, and they are all in our tribe."
"Why such a coincidence?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Because our tribe is the most remote, the people they sent were eager to take action and did not conduct detailed observations." Ming Yue said.
Wu Dongfang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Crossing two streets, three people, or to be exact, four people including the infant child, came to the door of a courtyard. This is the only building with a courtyard in the city. It occupies a large area, the size of a football field. , there are three rows of independent houses, each of which is small.
After entering the courtyard, Ming Yue walked west, "This is where the wizard lives. We will stay here tonight."
"There don't seem to be many people living here." Wu Dongfang said. There are three rows of houses, with five in each row. There are a total of fifteen small houses, but now only two houses have light.
"We don't usually live here." Ming Yue walked to the door of a house in the southwest corner, opened the door and walked in.
The room was more than twenty square meters, and it was very empty. There was a bamboo bed by the window with simple bedding on it, and a square table in the middle.
"Is this place often cleaned?" Wu Dongfang looked at the room. The humidity in the south is heavy, and unoccupied rooms are prone to smell of mold, but there is none here, and there is no accumulation of dust on the floor.
"Yes." Ming Yue took out the fire twister and lit the oil lamp. The so-called oil lamp was a small pottery bowl filled with some kind of grease and a twister.
"We'll stay here tonight. You guys settle down first. I'll go ask which heavenly master is coming tomorrow." Ming Yue turned around and went out.
After Ming Yue left, the woman holding the child came over, smiled and said to Wu Dongfang, "Congratulations."
"Now that I know the witch's name, do I have to marry her?" Wu Dongfang unloaded the rice pail and said,
"You don't like us wizards?" the woman was very surprised.
"I'm just asking, please put the child down quickly." Wu Dongfang pointed to the bed.
She left in a hurry today, and this woman was already exhausted. However, she did not put the child on the bed. Instead, she held the child and sat in the corner. No matter how Wu Dongfang tried to persuade her, she refused to sleep on the bed, saying that the bed was The wizard's, she couldn't sleep.
Half an hour later, Ming Yue came back and brought back a can of rice porridge.
"Is there any good news?" Wu Dongfang asked. Ming Yue's tone and actions after returning showed that she was in a better mood than when she left.
"It's nothing. Go to bed early. The Heavenly Master will come early tomorrow morning." Ming Yue gave up the bed to the frightened woman and her child, moved a chair and sat on the west side of the door.
"How many heavenly masters are there in the Jin clan?" Wu Dongfang approached.
"Three." Ming Yue said casually.
"Are you familiar with the Heavenly Master who is coming tomorrow?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Familiar, what do you want to do?" Ming Yue asked.
"Can you let him test me?" Wu Dongfang smiled.
"What do you want to do?" Ming Yue smiled.
"I want to see if I can learn magic." Wu Dongfang said, the fire dance of the fire tribe's heavenly master always lingering in his mind.
"Okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow." Ming Yue happily agreed.
Wu Dongfang nodded happily. He himself didn't have high hopes, but it was best to give it a try. If he could learn the spell, it would be great. If he couldn't learn it, he would give up completely.
After sleeping enough during the day, Fantong started to move around at night. The door was closed and he couldn't get out. He whined for a while and started looking for things to do, and gnawed the legs of the bed in the room.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, Wu Dongfang was awakened by the noise of voices outside the hospital. When he woke up, he found that Ming Yue had already gotten up and was sitting by the bed combing her hair.
"Why don't you light the lamp?" Wu Dongfang was startled by Ming Yue. It was scary to see a woman combing her hair in the dark, let alone the woman wearing a mask.
"There is water at the door. You should also freshen up. People from the tribe will come over today. You have to show up with the Bear King." Ming Yue continued to comb her hair.
"Then there's no need to come here so early." Wu Dongfang yawned.
Ming Yue stood up and lit the oil lamp, walked over and handed her wooden comb to Wu Dongfang, "Tie up your hair, shave off your beard, and then change into clothes."
"What they want to see is their job, not me." Wu Dongfang waved his hand and did not take the other person's wooden comb.
"You don't want to use my comb?" Ming Yue was a little unhappy.
When Wu Dongfang heard this, he hurriedly took the wooden comb. In fact, Ming Yue was right. He was indeed reluctant to use Ming Yue's comb. He felt that things between him and Ming Yue were a bit sudden. He only had a good impression of Ming Yue. At this stage, I haven't decided whether to marry Ming Yue yet.
My hair is too short to tie up. The beard can be shaved off with a dagger. He only had these clothes, and he didn't have to change them, so if they were sore, they would be sore.
More and more people gathered outside the yard, and the voices became louder and louder. At seven o'clock in the morning, Mingyue took Wu Dongfang out with her child in her arms and came to the yard. There was a wide stone road in the middle of the yard. There were six people, all wizards with copper staffs in their hands. The four standing in front were older and all male wizards. The two at the back were one of the wizards who greeted Ming Yue yesterday, and the other was scratched by a rice bucket. The male wizard who killed him, both of them holding a child in their arms.
Ming Yue stood behind them with her child in her arms. Wu Dongfang couldn't find his position, so he sat on a stone pier by the roadside with his rice pail in his arms.
"Get up, that's where the horse is tied." Ming Yue whispered.
At this time, the gate of the courtyard was open. Many people crowded at the door and looked in. People who could not squeeze in the door gathered around the courtyard wall, stepping on the stones to reveal their heads. The houses around the courtyard were also full of people. , also on trees.
The scratched male wizard smiled and waved at Ming Yue, but Ming Yue pretended not to see it and ignored him.
Ming Yue let those male villagers go out to roam freely last night. They must have leaked the news. One by one, it was spread to ten, and it was spread to hundreds. Many people knew that Wu Dongfang was holding the next white tiger of their Jin clan. The Celestial Master's mount, before the Celestial Master arrived, Fantong became the focus of their onlookers.
The tribesmen all know that Fan Tong is a brave, but they don't seem to be surprised, because in their opinion, Xiong Zhi and Pi Xiu are both bears, and Pi Xiu is more ferocious than Xiong Zhi.
"When will the Heavenly Master come?" Wu Dongfang asked Mingyue in a low voice.
Ming Yue shook her head and waved her hand to signal him not to talk nonsense.
Wu Dongfang was bored with waiting, and turned his attention to the four wizards standing in front. The youngest of these four wizards was almost forty, and the older one should be over fifty. The robes he wore were similar to the three young wizards behind him. It's the same, but the color is blue, and the top of the copper staff they hold is not a bull's head, but a sheep's head with curved horns, which may also be a symbol of their mage status.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the sun emerged from the east. At the same time, rumbles of thunder were heard in the eastern sky. When the thunder was heard, everyone in the city began to cheer.
Wu Dongfang had heard from Ming Yue before that the movement technique of the Heavenly Master of the Jin Clan was thunderous and thunderous when moving quickly. The sound of thunder in the eastern sky meant that the Heavenly Master responsible for the test was about to arrive.
Curious, Wu Dongfang turned to look at the eastern sky, but he did not see anyone in the sky. This showed that although the Jin clan's movement skills were very fast, they could not run faster than the sound like a supersonic aircraft. The sound was transmitted first. Come over, people are still behind.
The thunder from the east became louder and louder, and soon a small black spot appeared in the eastern sky.
"This spell is good, but the sound is too loud and is not suitable for sneak attacks." Wu Dongfang curled his lips and said.
Ming Yue turned her head when she heard the sound, and Wu Dongfang quickly moved his eyes back to the sky.
As the distance shortened, the small black spots gradually became larger, and the human shape could be vaguely seen.
No matter how short the distance is, you can see that the robe that the man is wearing is not black, but a very deep purple.
When the Heavenly Master arrived above the tribal city, the thunder gradually disappeared. At this time, you can see that the Heavenly Master is an old man in his sixties or seventies, with his hands behind his back and stepping on a copper staff.
Although the thunder disappeared, the Heavenly Master was still moving in the air, but the speed was much slower than before. At this time, Wu Dongfang suddenly realized that the wind and cloud thunder only made thunder when moving forward at full speed, and stopped when the speed slowed down. .
The Heavenly Master arrived and began to slowly descend from the sky above the courtyard. Wu Dongfang was amazed by this scene. He couldn't figure out how the other party could offset the force of gravity. The only possibility was that they had discovered some of their own potential through practice. With the development of science and technology, humans are increasingly relying on tools and equipment, but have neglected to explore and utilize their own potential.
At this time, he could clearly see the figure and appearance of this Heavenly Master. This Heavenly Master was not very tall, probably only a little over 1.7 meters tall. He had an oval face, was thin, and had a goatee under his chin. He looked very tall. He is dignified, and although he is old, it is not difficult to tell that he was a handsome man when he was young. The top of the copper staff that the Heavenly Master stepped on was a ferocious animal head. This shape of the animal head felt very familiar to him. When he thought carefully, this kind of animal head often appeared on ancient bronzes, and it should be Taotie.
When he was four or five meters away from the ground, the Heavenly Master withdrew his copper staff and floated to the ground.
When he stood still, all the wizards knelt down on one knee and held bronze staffs in their hands, "Welcome to the Heavenly Master."
This sentence was Wu Dongfang's understanding. In fact, what these wizards said was very long and contained modal particles, "Dear Master, please accept our humble welcome and sincere respect."
The Heavenly Master did not respond, but nodded slowly.
"What a big show." Wu Dongfang thought to himself.
Seeing the Heavenly Master nodding, the wizards and mages stood up straight.
Before that, they could pass the Qi'er without any nonsense or scene talk. After getting up, the four mages in front lined up on the left and right, and the witch at the front walked over with the child in her arms.
The Heavenly Master took the swaddling clothes from the sorcerer's hands, stretched out his right palm and put it against the child's forehead, and at the same time closed his eyes.
After a few seconds, the Heavenly Master opened his eyes, shook his head and returned the swaddling clothes to the sorcerer who was waiting anxiously.
The wizard retreated in frustration, and the scratched wizard walked over, but after the test, the master still shook his head.
Ming Yue was the last one to step forward with the child in her arms. The Heavenly Master's palm stayed on the child's forehead longer than the previous two.
After three full minutes, the Heavenly Master finally opened his eyes.
There was silence inside and outside the courtyard, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
After a brief silence, the Heavenly Master nodded slowly.
Thousands of people shouted, tens of thousands rejoiced...
