I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 58 Return to Black Mountain Village (Kanzaki Alliance Leader +1)

Sangque only has one day and one night left, but fortunately her mother is there to prepare all the necessities for her.

And she only needs to deal with the weapons problem and some miscellaneous matters.

The information her mother gave her had already indicated how to check the functions of the two keys, and that she needed to use the soul candle in the soul lamp.

The auxiliary materials for making soul candles are easy to obtain in modern times, except for the corpse oil that is difficult to obtain. She can only wait until she arrives at Heishan Village to see if the soul lamp she placed in the Liu family’s house is still there, and then check the function and price of the key.

In the afternoon, Sang Que went to Jiang Zao's house and took some things.

Together, they made many hidden weapons based on TV and novels, and tried the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, the Thousand Machine Umbrella, the Sword in the Flute, the Bracelet Knife, and even a complicated folding crossbow.

However, most of them lack killing power and need to be modified and sharpened.

Time was running out and it would definitely be too late this time, so Sang Que could only leave a list for Jiang Zao, stating the requirements and asking Jiang Zao to help her when he was free.

Jiang Zao was confused. She couldn't tell the truth to Jiang Zao, so she could only continue talking nonsense.

She said that her mother had a fantasy novel that was picked up by a wealthy sponsor and was going to be filmed, and the props made by the rubbish props team were just for show and were completely unusable. She wanted to let the rubbish props team see the capabilities of Jiang Zao, our intangible cultural heritage inheritor.

Jiang Zao was pleased with her coaxing and agreed.

Before leaving, Sang Que told Jiang Zao that she was going out for a few days to visit an old master of martial arts. The signal might be bad in the mountains, so she should contact him when she came back.

Sang Que used to do this often during holidays, and he once brought Jiang Zao along. However, because the meditation in the mountains was too hard and boring, Jiang Zao was unwilling to go again after going there once.

When Sang Que came out of Jiang Zao's house, it was already dark. On the way home, he called Xu Yichao.

After learning that he had persuaded Xu Shufen to help him save the paper man, Sang Que felt relieved and gave Xu Yichao some advice, telling him the two rules of believing and seeing, reminding him that once he stepped into the supernatural world, he might never be able to escape, and asked him to be more vigilant in the future.

Afterwards, Sang Que went home to continue to cram various ancient knowledge, and repeatedly read the materials compiled by her mother for her.

Time soon came to August 8th. During the day, Sang Que went to visit Xu Shufen and gave her the method of making the Ghost Soldier Talisman. He also asked indirectly about the method of destroying the sacrifice.

There is no rush for moving. If Xu Shufen wants to learn more about the lost methods of making talismans, she will come to her sooner or later.

At seven o'clock in the evening, night fell and the small town at the foot of the mountain was silent.

Sang Que and Sang Wan opened all the express parcels and put everything in order.

Sang Wan sat on a stool wearing a prosthetic limb, looking at Sang Que, who was wearing a black ancient costume, carrying a hunting bow and quiver bag, with her hair half-disheveled and half-tied up, fixed behind her head with a simple silver hairpin.

She is heroic and looks like a typical ancient female hero, except that the wound on her neck has not healed yet and is covered with a black cloth, like a battle-damaged version of a female hero.

This time, she no longer had to hide her identity or pretend to be ugly, and she went by the name of the female hero Sang Mulan.

Sang Que lowered his head and wrapped the newly bought multifunctional parachute bracelet around his wrist and put it on. Sang Wan couldn't help but say, "You really touched my blind spot in this field. I didn't know there was such a convenient thing. I even bought you a special fire starter."

Sang Que looked up at Sang Wan and smiled, "I have to bring the fire starter with me. This parachute bracelet has a small high-precision compass, a stainless steel blade and a waterproof flint. The bracelet can be disassembled into a three-meter parachute rope. It's for convenience and emergency use."

As she spoke, Sang Que opened her clothes to let Sang Wan see the chain mail she was wearing underneath.

"It's made of modern materials and is handmade. When we were twisting the iron rings one by one, my hands and Zaozi's hands were almost broken. Even with the ancient smelting level, even the best weapons can't cut through this mail."

Sang Que pointed at the silver hairpin on her head again, "The surface of the hairpin is a silver hairpin, which can be used to test poisons. There is also a very sharp steel needle hidden inside. And the round decoration on top has a very thin steel wire hidden inside, which can easily cut many things."

"The hunting bow I brought this time is a wooden bow, and the arrows have real feathers on them. I painted the arrowheads black, so they look similar to the material of the farm tools they use over there. All I have to do is recycle them later."

Sang Wan nodded. They had analyzed it together. Since Yan Daozi was looking for the daughter of the temple keeper in Heishan Village on behalf of a certain force, then the force behind Yan Daozi might know the existence of the evil-averting money.

In addition, the talisman money was most likely in the hands of Sang Que's biological mother before. She could tell Kou Yushan that when Sang Que appeared, she would be obviously different from the people in Heishan Village, which means that Sang Que's biological mother knew about the existence of the modern world and could also travel between the two worlds.

Then, before the situation becomes clear, Sang Que must not reveal her identity as a modern person.

After tidying up her clothes and hair, Sang Que fixed the hatchet she brought from Heishan Village last time horizontally behind her waist with a special leather sheath. She had already sharpened the hatchet again, making it extremely sharp.

Sang Wan picked up the black cross-body cloth bag that she had sewn herself, "You'll be back by the 19th at the latest, right?" Sang Que nodded, took the cloth bag from her mother's hand and slung it over her body. There were such bags in ancient times as well. She put the butcher knife and keys in it. The bag also contained the fire starter, necessary supplies and food prepared by her mother for her.

The compressed biscuits, chocolates and dried meat were all removed from their wrapping paper, wrapped in clean coarse cloth and tied with hemp rope. Some first aid pills were also placed in a hollowed-out small gourd and sealed with wax.

The remaining five ghost soldier talismans and Yan Daozi’s red candle for exorcising ghosts were also inside.

Sang Que took out the ghost soldier talisman and put it in her lapel. She had to say that her mother was really thoughtful and had thought of almost everything, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

Sang Wan warned, "Although I have been very careful, you still have to carry this cloth bag with you and don't lose it. Even in ancient times, there were many smart people. Don't underestimate anyone. Be cautious in everything and don't judge a person based on preconceived ideas."

"I know, Mom."

The mother and daughter looked at the wall clock at the same time. It was already half past seven. By this time, the people from Heishan Village must have returned to their homes.

No one would dare to live in a place like the Liu family. Even if she suddenly appeared, she would not attract anyone's attention.

"There are sticky rice and cinnabar in that cloth bag. I've also prepared a live crucian carp for you. It's in the kitchen sink. Pick it up in a plastic bag and see if any living creature other than you can pass through. Remember to destroy the plastic bag after you pass through..."

Sang Wan explained everything in detail, and Sang Que listened carefully.

The black cat Xuanyu was sleeping in the doghouse originally prepared for the little general, wagging its tail leisurely and looking at the mother and daughter curiously.

The little general excitedly ran to Xuan Yu with the tennis ball in his mouth and put it down, sticking his butt out and wagging his tail.

Xuan Yu waved his claws and the tennis ball rolled away. The little general jumped out, picked it up and brought it back to Xuan Yu, and he never got tired of it.

At eight o'clock, Sang Wan couldn't think of anything else to say, so he took a deep breath, took off a ring from his right index finger and handed it over.

"This is a pair of titanium steel rings that I bought with my first earnings from writing when I was fifteen. They are actually stainless steel and not worth much, but your aunt's and my name are engraved inside, one for each of us. I'm giving this to you, hoping that you can always remember who you are."

Sang Que took the ring which seemed to be made of brass and had a simple design. There was a word "Wan" on it.

She knew that her mother was worried that she would need to imitate Yin Tong's habits in the future and was afraid that she would lose herself. This ring was like the Taoist robe to Yan Daozi and could serve as an anchor for her identity.

"Okay, go ahead. Go early and come back early. Be safe."

Sang Que put on the ring, went up and hugged Sang Wan, but said nothing, for fear that if she said anything it would become a flag. She had already given Xu Shufen's contact information to her mother. Her mother believed in her, and she also had to believe that her mother could take good care of her.

Rubbing Xuanyu and the little general's heads, Sangque went to the kitchen to pack the crucian carp, picked up the bag of glutinous rice, and walked to the door of his bedroom.

Taking a deep breath, Sang Que pushed open the door with his right hand. The originally bright bedroom was gone, replaced by an impenetrable darkness.

Sang Que didn't hesitate or procrastinate. He took a step forward and disappeared.

meow~
Just as the door was about to close by itself, a black shadow as fast as lightning rushed in.

"Xuanyu!"

boom!
The door was closed. Sang Wan covered her mouth in shock. The little general was holding a tennis ball in his mouth, looking at the empty doghouse with a blank look on his face.

*
Sangque walked out of the darkness. Behind him was the wide open wooden door of the Liu family's main house in Heishan Village. In front of him was a quiet little mountain village under the majestic mountains.

In the silent night and thick fog, Sangque sensed something was amiss.

At this time, not a single household in Heishan Village had a light on, and the fog was incredibly thick, and it was so quiet around that not even a single sound could be heard.

A bone-chilling coldness came over her. Sang Que put down what she was holding and raised her hand. She was shocked to find that her body was gradually becoming transparent. The fish in her hand flapped violently, quickly became transparent, and finally disappeared. Only an empty bag full of water was left.
