Su Mo stood where he was, reached out to touch the moisture on his cheeks, shook his head and smiled. .
Chapter 258
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, several carriages lined up at the gate of the Ren Mansion.
The carriage is loaded with a large amount of goods, most of which are cloth, of course there are some grain ironware, and other odds and ends.
Quite a few men in tight-fitting cloth clothes gathered together in twos and threes to talk about something, all of them with unfamiliar faces.
It was obviously not from Renjia Town, but the bodyguard agency hired by Master Ren from the provincial capital at a special expense.
This era is at the end of feudalism, so similar to escort agencies, pawnshops, these ancient businesses still have their final glory.
Ren Tingting stood at the door looking around, her face full of anticipation, as if she was waiting for something.
Not long after, Su Mo's figure appeared at the end of the path, Ren Tingting smiled instantly, trotted a few steps over and grabbed his arm: "Come in with me, Dad is waiting inside."
When the two entered the Ren family mansion, Ren Fa was directing the servants to count the goods one by one.
Seeing Su Mo coming in, he quickly told the butler beside him, and then greeted him with a smile on his face: "Nephew Su Xian, do you really decide that 12 will go there with the little girl?"
"Yes." Su Mo nodded and said, "I just have nothing to do during this period of time, and my senior brother is protecting the safety of Renjia Town, so I might as well go out for a walk together, just to relax."
"It's good to go out for a walk more!"
Ren Fa quickly agreed: "At first, I was still worried about whether Tingting's daughter's family would encounter any danger when she went out, but this is unavoidable. Who made my Ren family have only her as the heir."
"Now that Nephew Su Xian is following her, my heart is completely let go."
If it is not safe to stay with Su Mo, then in Ren Fa's heart, there is probably no safe place in the whole world.
With the efforts of a bunch of people, the goods were loaded very quickly.
Since there are still many strangers from the escort agency in the provincial capital, Su Mo did not release the paper figurines to help.
Ren Fa kept telling Ren Tingting about some business matters, without avoiding Su Mo at all.
The caravan assembled in the morning, and several teams of carriages gradually left Renjia Town at noon.
Su Mo and Ren Tingting sat on the last carriage, which was delivered by Ren Fa himself, and the interior was very comfortable.
This time I went to a place called Huixiang Town, which was not too far from Renjia Town, about six or seven days away by carriage.
Just going back and forth like this, plus the delays in the middle of business negotiations, it was almost half a month, and it happened to go back to Renjia Town for a period of rest and then set off for Zhuge's family.
In the warm and comfortable carriage, Ren Tingting was sitting on a soft seat, while Su Mo was half lying down, with his head resting on her lap, holding a note on Yueweizhuwu in his hand.
Smelling the faint fragrance and flipping through the book of strange things is really a thing that can't be more enjoyable.
Ren Tingting gently rubbed Su Mo's temple, and said, "Are all the things in this notebook real?"
"Of course it's true."
Su Mo put down the book, closed his eyes and enjoyed the pressure from his head, and said with a smile, "And these things have all been experienced by my previous patriarchs on Mount Mao."
"personal experience?"
Ren Tingting's movements paused a little: "Then... how terrifying was the ancient world?"
After all, some of the big monsters and ghost kings recorded in this book are all existences that can call wind and rain, just like myths and legends.
Didn't the ancients always live in dire straits?
Su Mo moved his finger lightly on the title page of the book: "The times are different, and the situation is also different."
"In ancient times, there was a lot of aura, and the major sects were basically people who practiced alchemy. For example, in my Maoshan, or the dragon and tiger sects, there are real immortals in the sects to suppress luck and monitor the world!"
"The connection with the Heavenly Court has never been severed. From time to time, Taoist masters invite all kinds of gods to descend to the earth to subdue demons."
"Thus, although the ghost king seemed to be raging fiercely in that era, and the big monsters stirred up the situation, it was actually much safer than you imagined."
At the same time as he said this, Su Mo also opened his eyes, staring at the top of the carriage with ecstasy, and yearning flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He always felt that he had traveled through the wrong time, and hadn't traveled to the most glorious and vast ancient times.
Now the aura is exhausted, the world is at an end, and the road to immortality is almost cut off.
Although the remaining orthodox Taoist sects still seem to be giants and sit in the world of mortals, they are actually just lingering on their last days.
Take Maoshan for example, Zi Xiao, the head of the current sect, is practicing Xu He Dao. If it were placed in ancient times, it would be the position of an elder at most.
Even so, he is also known as the Dazheng, one of the top Taoists in the world.
Perhaps it was because of choosing the official path.
I didn't meet any lonely ghosts along the way, and I didn't see any thieves. Instead, I saw many caravans like them coming and going.
Six or seven days passed in a flash.
When the caravan arrived at Huixiang Town, it was already high above the moon, and the town looked very quiet, with the doors of every house tightly closed, and even the slightest light could not be seen.
"Why does this town rest so early?" A look of doubt flashed across the face of the escort captain: "Are we sure we didn't go wrong?"
"No."
The guy in charge of leading the way observed it carefully, and finally shook his head and said, "This is indeed the town."
"I also feel strange. I came here seven or eight years ago, and there were many people at night."
"who cares."
A guy next to him waved his hand and said, "Since we're sure it's here, let's go in quickly, find a place to rest first, and unload all the cargo."
His statement obviously won the unanimous consent of everyone, and the caravan slowly walked towards the center of the town.
In the carriage, Su Mo suddenly put down the book, opened the curtain, and told the driver, "Notify everyone, change positions, and let our carriage go at the front."
Although the coachman didn't know why, since it was Mr. Su's order, he had to follow suit.
Ren Tingting looked at the night outside: "Is there something wrong with this town?"
Although she had just cultivated mana, she could barely feel the chill in the air.
Since she had read a lot of books and done enough homework, Ren Tingting also knew that it was Yin Qi.
"Ah."
Su Mo nodded, and suddenly asked: "How is the cultivation of the evil spell that I taught you a few days ago?"
"Well, I probably got it." Ren Tingting looked away from the outside, looked at him and said, "Did you see something?"
Su Mo didn't say much, but just moved Zhen Qi with his fingers, and tapped lightly on her eyelids.
Then he pulled open the cloth curtain and gestured to the dark street in the distance: "Look."
Ren Tingting heard the words and looked.
But in the darkness, a bridal sedan is slowly approaching.
The sedan chair is covered with festive decorations, and below are four figures carrying the sedan chair.
She stared intently, her expression changed.
Under the moonlight, it was clearly four snow-white skeletons!
And the people and buddies of the escort agencies around didn't seem to see anything, and they were confused at the moment, not understanding why the caravan had to stop.
"What is this?" Ren Tingting asked softly.
Su Mo sat beside her, and replied: "This is a ghost carrying a sedan chair, but... a living person was installed in that sedan chair!".
Chapter 259
Such things as ghost marriages have existed since ancient times.
It's just that most of the ghost marriages are for two dead people to be buried together to complete the wedding. Although this custom seems very strange, it is still acceptable.
The second type of ghost marriage is to use the living to marry the dead!
Marrying a living person to a dead ghost is not only a violation of human ethics, but also a violation of the right way of heaven and earth.
So when the sedan chair was gradually approaching, Su Mo suddenly dipped his finger in the teacup, and flicked it.
Those teas contained Su Mo's aura, which turned into several small transparent swords and flew away in the air.
Puff puff--
After three soft beeps in a row, the three skeleton ghosts turned into green smoke and dissipated. Seeing this scene, the last remaining skeleton ghost screamed in fright, threw down the sedan chair and prepared to flee for his life.
Inside the sedan chair, Su Mo made a seal with his right hand, and said softly, "Seal."
A whirlwind suddenly blew up around the skeleton, and the stones and fallen leaves on the ground automatically formed a curse mark, trapping it firmly in it.
At this moment, Su Mo finally got out of the carriage unhurriedly, and Ren Tingting followed closely behind him, walking towards the sedan chair.
At this moment, all the accompanying people also saw the sedan chair, all of them were surprised, discussing why this thing appeared out of thin air.
When Su Mo and the two approached, the skeleton ghost was still dizzy amidst the curse mark and the whirlwind, bumping around like a headless fly.
"Tingting." Su Mo's eyes turned to Ren Tingting: "It's just right, let's use it to test the results of your practice during this period."
No matter how many things are taught, without practice, it will be just talk on paper after all.
What's more, in this troubled world full of crises, having the opportunity to practice is undoubtedly a rare good thing for Ren Tingting's future practice.
Naturally, Ren Tingting didn't hesitate, she bit her fingertips, mobilized the weak mana in her body and began to quickly draw a spell on her palm.
This is also what Su Mo requested, no matter how powerful it is, it must be fast!
Fighting against evil spirits often happens in an instant, and if it is a second behind, there is a possibility of death.
Therefore, this is also the key point taught by Mao Shan to his disciples. Even if the power of the painting is weaker, the speed must be fast!
She quickly sketched it with her fingers, but within two breaths, she drew a complete curse mark on her palm.
The curse seal emitted a faint red light in the darkness, Ren Tingting opened her palm, aimed at the direction of the skeleton, and whispered: "Chi 々`!"
Swish!
The curse seal on her palm suddenly emitted red light, and then flew out, directly sticking to the skull's head.
The curse mark exploded on its head.
Accompanied by a vague scream, the skeleton was directly sent flying several meters away, and its entire body became much more transparent than before.
It's just that Ren Tingting's mana status is in the end, and a spell seal is not enough to destroy the skeleton.
However, a ray of real qi flew over immediately, completely extinguishing the skeleton ghost.
"That's right." Su Mo withdrew his finger, looked at her and nodded, "The power is enough. Although this skeleton ghost is not a powerful ghost, it is also a ghost with resentment. It is much stronger than ordinary ghosts."
"If this goes on, at most half a month of practice, you will be able to deal with ordinary ghosts by yourself. What you lack now is actual combat experience."
Hearing Su Mo's praise, a smile appeared on Ren Tingting's face, and she nodded heavily.
To be honest, it's not because of her extraordinary talent, most of the reason is because Su Mo will use real qi to help her wash her marrow and cut her bones once a day!
Although those true qi will dissipate in a short time, they can activate the magic power in her body to the greatest extent, and it will become twice the result with half the effort when practicing.
"Come out."
At this moment, Su Mo looked at the sedan chair, and said, "The four ghosts outside have been wiped out, you are safe."
There was no movement in the sedan chair, which seemed to confirm the authenticity of this sentence.
After more than a dozen breaths, the cloth curtain was lifted, and a girl in a red wedding dress, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, came out from inside.
The girl's face can be considered pretty, it's a world of difference compared to Ren Tingting, but to ordinary people she is already considered a little beauty.
With a look of fear and apprehension on her face, she took a long look around before letting out a long sigh of relief.
"Where is your home?" Ren Tingting took the initiative to ask, "If the distance is short, we might be able to drop you back."
"no, do not want!"
Hearing the word "go home," the girl's eyes instantly filled with fear, and she begged, "Please, don't send me home!"
"Otherwise...otherwise Grandma will let me marry the ghost king, I don't want to die, I don't want to marry the ghost king!"
