Chapter 357: Isn't it just a small matter of a miracle?
Qinglong Village.
Xie Wuying the cat is in the wooden house in Dongshan, carefully gluing his whiskers in front of a bronze mirror. To make it look realistic, he has to be more flexible in gluing several whiskers at a time in a few places.
This is a skill he has just learned recently, and he is just starting out and is currently putting it into practice.
The art of disguise is really difficult to learn. Not only can one stick on a decent beard, but one also has to study the technique. Just when he was about to finish it, a figure suddenly rushed in from the door, scaring him so much that he almost fell into the nose!
He hurriedly pulled it off, grabbed the fur hat beside him and put it on his head!
He picked up the tortoise shell at hand, pushed down the bronze mirror, and pretended to shake the tortoise shell above the mirror.
Behind him, there was a low laugh.
"It's me."
Xie Wuying's familiar voice made him cough twice, but he didn't even turn around, "Hmm?"
The fur hat on his head was suddenly grabbed by someone.
"Master Wuying, there's a letter from the master."
Xie Wuying turned around with relief after hearing this. He cast the tortoise shell in his hand back and stared at the visitor, Zhao Gong, with burning eyes. He said impatiently, "Did Brother Han write to me? Did he say when he'd come back to replace me?! I can't stay in this shabby place any longer."
Zhao Gong served him for a few days and got to know this distant young master of the Xie family better.
Seeing him disguised as the master of the house and looking crazy these past few days in the village, I actually felt quite sympathetic towards him, but then I thought about the meaning of the letter from my master.
I'm afraid this young Master Wuying will have to stay in Qinglong Village for a while longer.
"Master Wuying, please don't worry. Read the letter first. I'll stand guard at the door for you."
After saying that, he handed the letter that Han Qiguang had specially written to Xie Wuying to him, and then stood by the door to stand guard for Xie Wuying.
Seeing this, Xie Wuying opened Han Qiguang's letter without any further ado.
He read ten lines at a glance, finished it quickly, took out his lighter and lit it.
Thank the family god for giving them such a magical weapon. Every time Xie Wuying used it, he would silently express his gratitude in his heart.
After reading the news sent up from the mountain, Xie Wuying sat and thought for a while. When Zhao Gong came over when he saw nothing was wrong, the two of them whispered in the cabin.
The two of them sat close to each other and spoke in low voices.
Occasionally, other people from the village would walk by outside the window, shouting and yelling, their foul language unbearable to the ears.
When Xie Wuying first came, the young master was not very adaptable. One day, he was forced to attend a banquet and then he was able to adapt to the local customs perfectly without being noticed.
Fortunately, the "charlatan" character that Han Qiguang had established here was arrogant enough. When Xie Wuying couldn't perform clearly, he simply waved his long sleeves and said that he was too lazy to associate with you vulgar people, so it was best to get out of the way and leave.
No matter how loud the teasing and laughter behind me are, as long as I don't take off my vest, no one will know who he is.
"Are my Sixth Brother and the others ready?"
Zhao Gong went back to the mountain with him and kept wandering around the village. He tried his best to make many "good friends" these days, and he didn't know how much wine and meat he drank and ate.
If his masters don't come over, he will soon become fat from eating too much.
In order to prevent Xie Wuying from being exposed, unless it was a favor that could not be avoided in the village, Xie Wuying did not need to show up at all. He only asked for divination once or twice. The young master of the Xie family, who had a god in his family, was able to scare the group of bandits. Zhao Gong also saw the expression on his face.
I deeply feel that what my master Han Qiguang said is somewhat right.
Not only is the Xie family full of talented people, but there are even gods among them!
Ahhhh! The ancestral tomb is buried so well!
Zhao Gong pondered and said, "If there's movement the day after tomorrow morning, I'll have someone escort the young master to reunite with the team ahead tomorrow, okay?"
After thinking about it, Zhao Gong felt that it was safer for his master to make this arrangement.
However, based on his understanding of the young master beside him in recent days, Xie Wuying might not be willing to choose the safe path. Moreover, this matter was led by his sixth brother, and Xie Wuying would not miss such an opportunity to contribute.
Seeing that the other party was obviously missing a small piece of beard, Zhao Gong thought about it and decided that it would be better to ask Xie Wuying's opinion on this matter.
He was right. As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Wuying's reaction was exactly what he had expected.
After listening to this, Xie Wuying blew his beard, and his bright, youthful eyes sparkled!
"Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? We're about to start a fight, and you're sending me down the mountain?!" Xie Wuying shook his head like a rattle, his eyes sly as he said, "I'm not going down! I'm here to support my sixth brother and the others. I'll just follow you in whatever you do, and that's all."
Zhao Gong thought about it and gave another word of advice, "In just a few days, you are not familiar with the conditions in the mountains."
Not like them.
Xie Wuying thought for a moment and said, "I'm a charlatan, I don't need to be familiar with him."
Zhao Gong: “?”
Xie Wuying leaned closer to him and said, "Wait until midnight tomorrow night. I will build an altar in their village and a high platform. In the dark, I will put on my robe and they won't be able to recognize me at all."
"...That's a possible solution." Zhao Gong hadn't thought of this for a moment. He looked up at Xie Wuying and asked, "Will it work?"
"Why not? Sure!"
Xie Wuying turned around, took two empty bowls, and poured some water into them. "They drank too much yesterday and asked me to tell their fortune. I can see that this group of bandits, although they are not well-educated, are all very cunning!"
Zhao Gong was curious about where he started this sentence: "Oh?"
"The village seems peaceful lately, but these people, perhaps having lived on the edge of danger for years, seem quite uneasy. They come to me to ask about good and bad luck, but after one person asks, it's not enough. They also want to hear about other people's luck. When they ask, it's either about girls, money, or other random things. It seems like they're asking a lot of nonsense, but when I went back to the house and thought about what they asked, guess what happened?"
"What's the matter?" Zhao Gong listened attentively.
Xie Wuying took a sip of water and whispered, "They've been making insinuations all the time. How long will our good days and blessings in the village last? Hey, take a look."
Zhao Gong's eyes darkened, he was surprised: "I asked you directly?"
"How is that possible?" Xie Wuying said, "I asked about the Qi channels on the North Mountain, and then asked about our East Mountain."
"That's where outsiders and the second-in-command live, and this is..." Zhao Gong thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Xie Wuying, "Are they worried about Wan Lichun?"
Xie Wuying shook his head. "Then I don't know. Anyway, it seems that they are hesitant."
Zhao Gong thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to set up an altar in the mountains to attract attention?"
"Well, if Sixth Brother and the others come up, wouldn't that be convenient?"
"But Master Wuying, you are too dangerous!"
Zhao Gong was originally ordered to protect Xie Wuying. If anything happened to this young master in his hands, he would probably not be able to apologize to his master even if he brought his head.
Zhao Gong did not quite agree with Xie Wuying's risky move.
Xie Wuying asked calmly, "Where is the danger?"
Zhao Gong thought for a moment and said, "My master really knows some Taoist magic. He was invited to the mountain just then. If the people in the village don't see any changes by then, I'm afraid there will be chaos."
Xie Wuying blinked.
"That's it?"
Zhao Gong: “?”
"Isn't it just a miracle to scare people?"
Zhao Gong: “???”
"I have it! Our family god gave it to me!" Someone said proudly.
What a big deal.
