My master is invincible

Chapter 551 Collecting Birds (78)

Seeing me standing there in a daze, Chen Tiannan pulled me and said, "Brother Ninth, why are you in a daze! Get on your horse and go back to the tent!"

I came back to my senses, nodded, said yes, climbed on the horse, and was ready to go.

At this time, Wang Chuyao came over and said, "Ninth Brother, can you take me for a ride?"

I was taken aback, and asked her why, she was stunned for a long time before she could utter a word, she said: "I don't know how to ride a horse, I'm afraid of falling."

When I heard this, I smiled awkwardly. If I had to say how did I practice my horse riding skills, it was when I was a child herding cows and riding cows all the time, so I was a little familiar with horse riding. Otherwise, how would I know how to ride a bad horse? .

Immediately, I pulled her onto the horse, and looked at Aunt Lian, she was smiling at me, smiling very happily, as if she didn't care that Wang Chuyao and I were riding a horse.

Seeing this, I nodded to her and looked at our team. There was no change from the previous one. The bodyguards on the Huaqiao Bridge were still the same, the dowry was still the same horses, and Chen Tiannan was still following me. The only change was, In the flower bridge sits Su Mengke and Wang Chuyao behind me.

I didn't stay here too long, I said something to Aunt Lian and left, then led the welcoming team towards the tent, and a long string of firecrackers sounded behind me.

When the welcoming team returns home, there is a custom that they can’t go back the way they went before, commonly known as “don’t go back the way”, which means to avoid the bride going back along the same way, which is the so-called divorce, so we can’t go back to the tent on the same way , can only go around far.

Since I was not familiar with the Wanming Pagoda, I asked Nasongzi how to get there. He said that it took a long detour, three or four miles.

After thinking about it, I decided to go a little further. First, since it is a yin marriage, it must be done according to the custom, and the rules cannot be broken. Second, I have already accepted Su Mengke. Treat her badly in this respect.

Immediately, I let the pine nut lead us a long way, and asked him if he had a larger red cloth.

He glanced at me suspiciously, and said, "Why do you want the red cloth?"

I said, "If you go a long way, you will definitely encounter some temples, wells, ancestral halls, tombs, big rocks, and big trees. You need to cover the flower bridge with red cloth."

He asked me why I had to cover up.

I said, to ward off evil spirits.

He thought for a while and said, "Gu Lian seems to have said this, there is a red cloth in the flower bridge."

I nodded and asked him to take out the red cloth. He said something that made me want to beat him up. He said, "I'm afraid of ghosts."

I took a deep look at him, Ma De, isn't this pine nut very good at beating people, why are you afraid of ghosts?Besides, as a native of Phoenix, I shouldn't be afraid of such things.After all, Phoenix City is notoriously mysterious in Hunan.

Seeing me looking at him, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you take it yourself?"

I glared at him angrily, jumped off the horse, lifted the curtain of the flower bridge, and saw Su Mengke leaning there, staring straight ahead with a pair of eyes, I don't know if I didn't know when I pretended to be. Technical content, what’s going on, some blood flowed out from the corner of her eyes, I reached out to wipe it, it felt very sticky, with a faint rancid smell.

This immediately reminded me of Aunt Lian piercing her heart with a hairpin. I reached out and touched her face. It was very slippery and even shiny.

Is there really flesh and blood?

After thinking about it, I took a few deep breaths and pinched her face. It felt very sensual in my hands. I thought the feeling was wrong, so I pinched it on my own face again. There was only a slight difference between the two.

This discovery almost scared me into a daze, a cold sweat broke out on my back, Ma De, why does it feel so similar, is it possible that she has blood and flesh in her body?
Thinking of this, I got into Huaqiao, ready to figure it out.This matter is not a joke, if it is really flesh and blood, the possibility of Su Mengke's resurrection is as high as 90%. It can even be said that even flesh and blood can be reborn, so resurrection is still a big deal?

As soon as he got into the Huaqiao, Songzi yelled: "Chen Jiu, what are you doing? Do you understand the rules? Don't you know that the bride's Huaqiao is not allowed to enter casually?"

Upon hearing this, I replied to him, "Come out soon."

"No, I have to come out immediately." He raised his tone a bit, and lifted the curtain. I saw that this guy had his eyes closed, so he must have dared not look at Su Mengke.There was no other way, he knew that Su Mengke had only one human skin left, but now she was sitting in the flower bridge like a living person, anyone would be afraid.

"3 minutes, as long as 3 minutes, come out immediately after 3 minutes." I looked at him and said.

"No, Aunt Lian told me that no one can get into the flower bridge until they reach the tent!" He still closed his eyes, but his tone was a little harsher than before, vaguely intending to do something if he didn't come out.

I sighed, with the pine nuts, it was obviously impossible to find out about Su Mengke.In desperation, I looked inside the Huaqiao and saw a piece of red cloth next to Su Mengke. I picked up the red cloth and said, "Come down immediately."

After coming down from the Huaqiao, I tied the red cloth to the poles of the Huaqiao, and greeted the bodyguards who carried the bridge. When I encountered temples, big trees and other things, I covered the red cloth on the Huaqiao. The bodyguards asked me, What kind of tree is considered a big tree? I said that some old trees cannot be hugged by one person.

As soon as the words fell, the pine nut spoke, and he said: "When you say that, I think of one thing. There seems to be such a tree on the road we are walking now, and it takes two adults to hug it, but... "

I saw that he was hesitating, so I urged, "But what?"

He looked up at me and said, "But...but...the Wanming Pagoda has some legends about that tree."

"What legend?" I asked.

"It is said that the tree is three to four hundred years old. Many people say that the tree has become a spirit and will eat people late at night. Some people say that the tree has not become a spirit, but the birds on it have become spirits and will come out to look for it in the middle of the night. Many people in Wanming Pagoda died under that tree." When he said this, his face was very heavy, and his voice trembled a little.

Upon hearing this, I vaguely grasped the point, bird spirit?Could it be the swallow?No, swallows usually nest indoors, and some swallows build their nests in halls or ancestral halls.There is a saying in Hengyang that if the swallow’s nest is on the left side of the main room, it means that in the next year on the left side of the main room, whether it is a wedding or a new house, it will be auspicious regardless of the date. If it is on the right side, it proves that the right side Italy.

Thinking of this, I asked him, "What kind of bird is that on the big tree?"

He thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be a swallow."

I was taken aback, and immediately asked him again: "Are you sure it's Yanzi?"

He nodded and said: "It must be swallows. There are many legends about swallows in this Wanming Pagoda. Many Gu masters regard swallows as totems, saying that swallows are lucky things and can bring good luck. No one dared to move the tree, even if someone died, no one dared to move the tree."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and continued: "By the way, Aunt Lian also believes in swallows, and the totems of swallows can be seen everywhere in the Su family, even the wooden carved windows are also totems of swallows. In addition, there are also totems of swallows on the pillars in the square. "

Listening to his words, I suddenly realized that Aunt Lian regarded the swallow as a mascot, and there was nothing worth further studying, but I remembered a common saying that swallows have to work hard to hold mud, and grow so that the hair stems fly separately.What this is saying is that the swallows have worked so hard to build their nests and feed their children, but those little swallows, full of wings, flew away separately. How can they remember the kindness of their parents.

And Aunt Lian is no different from Little Swallow, they are both ungrateful, otherwise they wouldn't have done something worse than that beast.

As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Aunt Lian regards swallows as totems. She must have seen the nature of swallows very clearly. Now that she has seen clearly, she should realize that children will abandon their parents when they are full-winged. As a result, she has a relatively low regard for her children, but now her behavior shows that she regards women as her life. Could it be that she is really like a swallow, who values ​​her children very much?No other purpose?

No, absolutely not. The biggest difference between humans and swallows is that humans know how to weigh pros and cons, and humans know how to protect their own interests. Aunt Lian is determined not to turn herself into a mother swallow waiting to be abandoned. How could Su Mengke be regarded as his life if he was killed?Therefore, Aunt Lian should be pretending everything she did to Su Mengke, which is in line with Aunt Lian's temperament.

Thinking of this, I thought of the four characters after Su Mengke's horoscope, which made me more sure that Aunt Lian had her own little plan, and her real purpose was not to revive Su Mengke.

After thinking about it, I asked the pine nut some more things about Aunt Lian. How could I know that he ignored me and said, "I am angry that I have nothing to say about Aunt Lian."

What's the matter, this person has a brain problem, I cursed a few words in my heart, so I had no choice but to bring the topic to the big tree, I don't know what's going on, when it comes to the big tree, the pine nut seems to have endless things to say, he First he told me about the origin and legend of the tree, and then he said how miraculous the swallows on the tree were. In his words, the swallows on the tree were there all year round.

Just this sentence made me doubt what he said. As we all know, swallows are a kind of migratory bird. They usually fly to the south in February, and fly to the north in August and September for the winter. How could it be possible to spend the winter in the south?Unless those swallows really became fine.

Is it really perfect?It shouldn't be possible. There are many folk legends about animal spirits, such as pig spirits and fox spirits. It's the first time I've heard of this swallow becoming a spirit. It takes thousands of years to become refined, and it takes hundreds of years to become refined. In terms of the lifespan of a swallow, it is obviously impossible to become refined.

However, looking at the expression of that pine nut, it seems that Cheng Jing is highly respected. What's going on?

Immediately, I asked the pine nut, "Where is that big tree?"

He stopped, pointed not far away, and said, "It looks like 500 meters ahead, there is a steep slope there, and the big tree is there."

I thought for a while and said, "Where must we go back to the tent?"

His complexion changed, and he said, "That's the only way to go, otherwise, you have to go around seven or eight kilometers to get back to the tent, if you really go around seven or eight kilometers."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone to check the time, and continued: "It's about half an hour now, and if we turn another seven or eight kilometers, we won't be able to reach the tent before Choushi."

"Why did you rush to the tent before the ugly time?" I asked the doubts in my heart.

He smiled helplessly, "Gu Lian told you that you had to rush to the tent before Chou Shi, and said that it was Zi Shi who would hold a yin marriage for you. It would be unlucky to delay this time."

Hearing this, I felt a little uneasy in my heart, thinking that Aunt Lian must have forced us to pass under the big tree, otherwise, she wouldn't have just set up the tent there, and pinpointed the time of the Yin marriage at Choushi.

For a while, I didn't know what to do. If I went that way, the pine nut told the big tree to the swallow so miraculously, there must be some way in it. If I didn't go that way, Aunt Lian's test would definitely be sad, and even more so. The most important thing is that Qingxuanzi is in her hands, if something bad happens to Qingxuanzi, I won't be able to stammer, after all, that Qingxuanzi is a stuttering senior.

Ma De, I patted my head hard a few times, and my heart was hardened, so I said, "Go, let's go that way."

"Are you sure?" The Songzi was stunned, and tremblingly said: "Chen Jiu, in fact, we can take a shortcut and just go back the same way."

"No, that would break etiquette." I flatly rejected his opinion.

"But... can... but take that road, we may die there." He showed panic, as if he was afraid of that road.

I froze for a moment, this situation is not right, he told me that there is such a road, and he told me that the time to take that road is just in time, why is he afraid to take that road now?This seems a little unreasonable.

At that moment, I stared at his face for a while, and said, "Songzi, tell me what Aunt Lian said?"

"She told us to keep an eye on you, don't let you run away halfway." He explained.

"That's it?" I asked curiously.

He nodded, "She only confessed this sentence, she didn't say which way we should go."

Now, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Aunt Yilian's temperament should have stipulated which way we should go home, but now we are allowed to choose independently. Isn't she afraid that we will go back to the tent by the same way?Or did she confidently believe that we must go that way?

If it's the latter, then Aunt Lian should have guessed my temperament.After all, I am a person who habitually respects customs, whether it is funerals or other matters.

The pine nut saw that I didn't speak, so he spoke again. He said: "Chen Jiu, I advise you to return the same way, don't believe in the so-called 'do not turn back'."

To be honest, I really want to go back to the tent by the same route, one is to save time, and the other is that I have some taboos on the big tree, but if I go the same route, I will commit a big taboo in yin marriage.Comparing the two, I would rather take the risk of trying the so-called big tree than make a big taboo.

At that moment, I gave up on the pine nut, "Continue to walk the path of the big tree."
