Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 10
In the northwest of the wilderness, dark clouds cover the top, the sky cannot be seen, coupled with the howling blizzard, it has covered everything between the sky and the earth, like a moonless and starless night.

Amidst the whirring sound, a little flame lit up, and a black Langya flying boat fell from the sky.

Mu Zhiqiu stood in the sky, her eyes were like a falcon, she looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing special, she bowed slightly towards the cabin.

"Mr. Tobaha, we have arrived at the place."

A moment later, the Langya flag on the bow of the flying boat shook in the wind, and a halo of light spread out, like a slowly blowing bubble, pushing through the wind and snow, shielding the whistling sound, and wrapping the whole flying boat. inside.

In the cabin, an old man wearing a fur cap and fur cloak stepped out and came to the deck.

The old man seemed to be an octogenarian, his gait was a little staggering, his waist was a bit bent, and the age spots on his face were particularly obvious, except for a pair of eyes, which were still piercing.

The old man walked to the bow, looked around for a long time, and remained silent for a long time.

Mu Zhiqiu couldn't help but said.

"Sir, Rong Zhiqiu is presumptuous. In fact, sir, there is no need to come here in person. The cold air here is too severe. Even if there is isolation, it will penetrate into the body. Mr. has not yet entered the Tao. If the cold air invades here, there may be troubles."

Toad leaf shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"I have to come here in person, I don't believe what they said, the soul lamp has been extinguished.

Although it is a certainty that the lamp goes out after death, it is also for other people. Langya Courtyard has done research over the years, and the soul lamp is not foolproof.

My old brother, talent is rare in the world, and his knowledge is as deep as the sea. Even if he has not entered the Tao until now, I also believe that if he wants to deceive the soul lamp through the air, it must be an easy task.

I want to come to his fallen place to take a look in person, and I want to confirm it myself. "

The old man stretched out his hand and waved his big sleeves, and an incense table was placed in front of him. On it was a three-legged and double-eared alien beast cauldron, with soul streamers hanging on the left and right, and dragon candles set up. can.

Toba Ye waved to Mu Zhiqiu.

"Come on, you also train your body and practice martial arts internally. You have yang qi all over your body, and all evils will not invade. It is the safest way to use your yang qi."

Mu Zhiqiu knelt down on one knee, nodded slightly, Du Ye pinched the seal formula with one hand, and flicked the finger print with the other. Suddenly, a spark flew out from Mu Zhiqiu's shoulders, lit two dragon candles, and there was a spark above his head. A ball of fiery flames flew out, igniting a stack of gold watch paper on the table.

Toba Ye held the lit gold watch paper, took out a handful of incense sticks, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, took out a folding fan, and threw it into the flames.

Curls of light smoke, wrapped in paper ashes, hover over the incense table, and as the gold watch paper wraps the folding fan and burns, the incense stick burns more than half, and those hovering smoke and ashes slowly transform into a twisted The human face is crying in pain.

The illusory blurred human face slowly converged into a human shape as the smoke swayed and changed, and it could be vaguely seen that it was an old man with a stooped body.

Toad Ye's complexion tightened, and there was a trace of hope in his eyes.

"I knew it was impossible for him to fall so easily..."

But the next moment, the gold watch paper and the incense sticks burned rapidly, and they were almost burnt out in an instant, and the smoke and ashes also accumulated to the limit. With a final cry of pain, he fell to the ground, and there was no more movement.

At this moment, the flame went out, and all the smoke also dissipated.

The last gleam of hope in Toba Ye's eyes also dimmed.

"It's really gone, how is it possible, how could he just be gone..."

Toyo's body swayed and was greatly shocked, Mu Zhiqiu who was beside him hurriedly supported him and helped him into the cabin.

……

At the entrance of Jinlan Village, a man dressed in strong clothes and a conspicuous vermilion cloak walked out of the fog with a scroll in one hand.

Putting away the book, he looked back, with a bit of dignity in his eyes.

"What happened in the wasteland? Even the Jinlan Mine has such a big change. If I didn't have the Danqing handwritten letter given by the adults, I'm afraid it would cost a lot of money to come in."

He looked around, felt the strange force that permeated here, took out another jade talisman, and hung it around his neck. The power of the jade talisman flowed, like a living thing, and bit by bit it sank into the skin of his chest, sending out Bursts of sizzle sound.

When the vision ended, he was completely cut off from the outside world.

The advantage is that he will not be eroded, and the disadvantage is that he cannot carry out daily practice here, and there is no way to replenish his strength when it is exhausted.

After a while, someone discovered him and immediately reported to the chief.

Seeing that the Li Chang was walking slowly, being supported by Erhan, he quickly showed a smile, stepped forward quickly, and bowed his hands.

"Junior An Yue, I have met the head of the village, but I haven't seen you for a year, and you are still so energetic, no less than before."

Li Chang had an amiable face, and the expression on his face was almost the same as that of Er Han beside him.

"General An, I haven't seen you in a year, don't come here without any problems, why did you come so early this year?"

"I happened to be on a business trip. I thought about it. It's not too far to take a detour here, so I'll come here first. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the business trip will end, delaying the transaction time, and breaking the trust of the chief. That would be bad. .”

"Oh, that's how it is. It's just that the goods are still a little short. Should General An wait for a few days, or take them away now? If we take them away now, the missing parts will be replenished to General An next year."

"Then just wait a few more days, it's not too late." An Yue replied casually.

"That's it. General An will wait for a few days. Our conditions are poor, and I hope General An will not dislike you." The chief turned his head and glanced at Erhan: "Go, arrange the best resting place for General An .”

Erhanhan smiled and nodded.

"Grandpa, don't worry."

After a while, Erhan took An Yue to a nest at the foot of the mountain, and said with a simple and honest smile.

"General An, you can rest here. The hay here is the driest and thickest, which is very comfortable. I want it, but Grandpa won't give it to me."

"..."

An Yue hesitated to speak, she was speechless, looking at Erhan's envious and polite look, she could only cup her hands as a thank you.

After An Yue settled down, Erhan went back to report, and then he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Grandfather, isn't the Jinlan ore we mined already enough?"

"You know what a fart." The chief slapped Erhan angrily: "Whatever date we agreed on, it's what date, we can't miss a day, and never missed it. This year, he is in our Came here before eating yellow rice cakes."

"Uh..." Erhan was puzzled.

"That kid didn't hold back his fart. He said that he was on business and was afraid of wasting time, but he still had to spend a few days here in vain. I really don't know how strict their laws are. How dare he waste time like this. Besides, you don't know what's going on outside the village? How did he get in?
He has a fart on business, and the place where he goes on business is our place!

You remember, when he is around, don't talk nonsense, if you can't speak, treat yourself as dumb. "

Erhan nodded solemnly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I guarantee that I won't make a fart, and I will hold back any farts."

Erhan didn't come out until the meal, and it was a big deal not to get in touch with that An Yue at all, and he didn't have to worry about saying the wrong thing, but the meal still had to be eaten.

An Yue, on the other hand, stayed outside all the time and never went into the den to rest. He came from the bustling Daqian, and he thought he could endure hardships. Difficult, and the so-called hay is quite dry, but it’s not clear, there are even sheep droppings in it...

I really can't bear the turbid air mixed with fermented sheep dung, so I might as well sit outside.

When the meal was ready in the village, An Yue looked at the food of the people, her eyes flashed, and she went to line up without changing her face or heartbeat, and even prepared a clean ceramic bowl for herself.

Some people were curious, but they just watched, and no one asked more questions.

Soon, he was given a bowl of thick soup made of brocade mushrooms, and after taking a bite, his eyes changed slightly.

Jinlan mushroom is a good thing. Fresh Jinlan mushroom, even if it is a big one, only a very small number of people can eat it occasionally. If you can catch it, you will definitely not miss it.

It's just that this method is obviously different from the last time I came here. From the taste alone, it's not a little bit good. After a little experience, the things contained in it seem to be easier to absorb and use. up.

He raised his head and looked at Yu Ziqing who was standing behind the cauldron. He hadn't seen him the last time he was here, and among those sturdy aunts, the thin Yu Ziqing was really conspicuous.

An Yue held the bowl and sipped the thick soup, but glanced at the people in the village from time to time.

He also saw that Yu Ziqing took a wooden bowl and returned to his den after distributing it to everyone. He didn't pay too much attention and continued to observe other people.

……

Yu Ziqing returned to the nest and put the wooden bowl in front of Lao Yang.

"Aren't you going to eat?" the old sheep asked casually.

On weekdays, Yu Ziqing would bring food back, and the two of them ate together in the ground nest.

"There's someone outside. They're trading Jinlan ore. They're from Dagan. I asked Erhan. He came a few days earlier than the agreed date. You eat first. I'll go back to the kitchen to eat later. I'm sure it's still good." There are some left."

After a few words, Lao Yang understood why Yu Ziqing only came back with a bowl of rice today.

"Okay, I won't go out these days."

When he saw that person, Yu Ziqing knew that he would definitely be noticed. The changes in the food here, the new cook, the strange faces, and many changes in the village were all related to him. It was no secret.

At this time, if he came back with two bowls of rice, it would definitely be more eye-catching. He wouldn't bet that the other party wouldn't think that there were two mouths in the nest that needed to eat.

Although this is not a secret in the village, those who know the truth will definitely not talk too much, this is the village rule.

A few days is very limited, as long as you don't get chased and dig deep, the probability of being fooled is very high.

The premise is to try to hide the clues that may be chased and bitten by the other party as much as possible, and if you can't hide it, you have to delay the time to be discovered.

He didn't know if the person named An Yue was sent by Lao Yang's enemy.

But be careful in everything, let him be by default.
