As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

…………

After everything was ready, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng also saw Mi Nianying, and immediately turned into licking dogs, one on each side, licking non-stop, making Mi Nianying giggle.

In less than two hours, the car arrived at Chongtian Town.

Chongtian Town is the nearest town to Shizhou. Girl Cane is doing temple blessings in the Songzi Niangniang Temple in Chongtian Town, and she often asks people for rice on weekdays.

The so-called asking rice is actually to make the soul of the deceased possess himself, talk to the living, and alleviate the feeling of longing for the living.

Chapter 208 Asking Rice Taboo

In fact, the place that Aunt Cane wanted to stay most was Renjia Town, but she knew that if she went to Renjia Town, Uncle Jiu would definitely change places, so she could only do the temple celebration in Chongtian Town, which is dozens of miles away from Renjia Town.

The distance is not too far, and I can see Uncle Jiu whenever I want.

I found a place to park outside the Songzi Niangniang Temple, Jiushu led the way, and entered the temple with ease.

The temple is not big, a little smaller than Yizhuang. When I first entered, I heard a huge sound of beating the table mixed with the sound of chanting words, which was very rhythmic.

"Hush, take your steps lightly, Aunt Cane is asking Mi, don't disturb her."

Uncle Jiu slowed down and walked towards the direction of the sound, walked around a corner, and entered a room.

One wall of the room is covered with statues of spiritual infants, and there is a square red table under it. A man and a woman are sitting nervously beside it. Aunt Cane is patting the table rhythmically.

"Is this asking about rice? Talking to yourself with a bowl of rice?"

Wen Cai couldn't help snickering.

Uncle Jiu glanced at him, and he immediately fell silent~ not daring to make a sound.

It was also the first time Gu Zhou saw Wenmi, and he thought it was very interesting.

Wenmi, which originated over 2000 years ago, is a spell that combines the spirits of deceased relatives and friends with family members.

Bring the ghosts from the underworld to the yang world through being a man, and possess them as a woman, and talk to the people in the yang world, because when doing this ceremony, a bowl of white rice is placed next to it, as the name suggests, asking for rice.

Everyone has a curiosity, and this novel way of psychic communication made the whole group stare intently.

"The sky is lingling! The earth is lingling! Aunt Cane has a spirit!"

Aunt Cane's voice stopped abruptly, and she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the man beside her: "Hey, what's your wife's name?"

"Oh, Li Bishi Guan." The man looked very honest.

"None of my business?"

Aunt Cane was furious, and suddenly got angry, got up suddenly, condescending, and stared at the man angrily: "It's none of my business if you ask me for rice?"

"No no no no……"

The man couldn't laugh or cry, and waved his hands again and again: "No, it's not about your shit, it's Li Bi's family, my surname is Guan, and my wife's name is Li Bi, isn't it Li Bi's family?"

"Ahem...that's it...hahahaha..."

Aunt Cane sat down in a little embarrassment, and continued to ask Mi: "The sky is Lingling! The earth is Lingling! Cane Gu please ask Guan Li Bi to come up!"

"Ask you, does your husband want to marry another wife?"

While thinking, she inserted her hand into the rice, picked up a handful of rice and tossed it lightly, then got up and jumped around the rice bowl.

In just half a minute, her whole demeanor and the way she spoke changed, and the dark energy in the room became much stronger, and she really seemed to be a different person, and she said in a low voice, "Damn ghost! It's been so long! Don't come to see me, what's the matter with me today!"

"I'm too busy, wife. Actually, I want to ask your permission for something when I see you today. You have been dead for several years, and I am alone. I want to ask for another wife, so I brought her to see you."

The woman next to her yelled obediently: "Sister Bi."

"On this matter, it should be, well, I allow you to get married."

The man stood up happily: "Thank you, wife!"

'Aunt Sugarcane' frowned: "I can't wait? I haven't finished yet, damn, sit down!"

Wencai's eyes lit up, and he was amazed: "It's amazing to ask Mi, Master, can I learn this?"

Uncle Jiu snorted coldly: "Do you think anyone can ask rice? There are many taboos about asking rice. If you look like this, if you learn to ask rice, you will break the taboo in nine out of ten. It's ugly to die. Alas, Wencai, Maoshan How many years has the memorandum been in your room, can you read it again, and ask everything you see, in fact, the things you ask are basically recorded in the Maoshan memoir."

Wen Cai shrank his head and recalled it carefully. It seems that the Maoshan Shilu has been in his hands for ten years. He just flipped through a few pages when he got it, and then put it somewhere to eat ashes, and then put it on the corner of the table.

"Gu Zhou, tell him something."

Gu Zhou nodded: "There are many taboos when asking rice. The most common one is not to ask people who have died in vain, and people who have no name and surname. Without incense offerings, once summoned, it is basically impossible to send it away."

"Some people who ask for rice will also lie and conceal the situation. There are no fewer witches who have been killed. It's hard to grasp just this,"

0 ············································

"You can't even be soft-hearted in this business. There is a real incident recorded in Maoshan Shilu. A young scholar came to ask for help, saying that he wanted to see his first wife. But the sorceress saw that there was a black air between his eyebrows, and his eyebrows were broken. , should be entangled by a ghost, presumably his wife."

"And the scholar firmly insisted that his wife's death was not in vain, and she must not be a ghost. After repeated requests, the sorceress finally agreed."

"It's said that when you walk by the river, you don't get your shoes wet. The sorceress hurt me. The scholar's wife is really a ghost. After possessing him, she strangled the scholar to death. The sorceress grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and sprinkled it on her body." , Only then did the ghost go away. The sorceress who was sucked out of most of her yang energy was terrible, she lost half her life, and passed away half a month later."

 …  

Gu Zhou looked at Wen Cai: "This sorceress still has a bit of morality, and she can see that there is a black air between the scholar's brows. If it were you, would you be able to see it? They concealed the real situation. If it were you, you would probably have died at the beginning. .”

Wen Cai shuddered and shook his head again and again: "I won't study anymore, I won't study anymore!"

Gu Zhou shook his head secretly, Uncle Ninth's talented apprentice is really——unfortunate mother opened the door for unlucky, unlucky to come home.

A scumbag who has been around Xueba for more than ten years has been fascinated by him, but if he eats snacks, learns more, and sees more, he will not be so ignorant.

In fact, he is just a scumbag, so Uncle Jiu doesn't have to worry about it.

What's more, Wencai is not only a scumbag, but also has a flawed personality. From childhood to adulthood, Uncle Nine probably wiped his ass a lot.

After studying for more than ten years, he can't draw amulets, he can't make him transcend, he can't open the altar, he can't fix acupoints, and he doesn't even know common sense.

The term "obsessed with ears and eyes" seems to deliberately bypass literary talent.

Seeing Wen Cai's situation, Uncle Jiu was furious and timid, thinking about it as soon as he came out, and retreating when he saw difficulties.

If Wencai still wants to learn about Mi after listening to it, he will be more relieved.

Seeing Master's eyes, Wen Cai shrank his head, wondering why he angered Master?pill.

Chapter 209 Three Ignorances

This is already a conditioned reflex. Ever since he was a child, when the master stared at him, he knew that he must have made a mistake.

"Knock out your teeth and swallow your blood."

Uncle Jiu sighed, what can he do, no matter how useless his literary talents are, he is still his apprentice, if he is left alone, he will have to beg for food in a few days.

But at this time, after the questioning was over, a man and a woman left, Aunt Cane's eyes rolled and she burst into a smile: "Feng Jiao, why do you have time to come to my place?"

Uncle Jiu didn't dare to look at her, and looked left and right: "I'll send the spirit baby here."

Objectively speaking, Aunt Cane is actually not bad looking, and she is considered a beauty in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not Jiu Shu's favorite, or Jiu Shu is still thinking about his old lover and has no place in his heart for others.

In fact, in Gu Zhou's opinion, Aunt Cane is more suitable for Uncle Jiu than Michelle.

Michelle lived seven "June 80" to be [-] years old, which is considered a long life.

Both Uncle Jiu and Gu Aunt Cane are at the cultivation level of refining qi and turning into gods. Gu Gu can live a hundred and twenty-three easily, and Uncle Jiu can live to at least 150 years old.

If Uncle Jiu and Michelle were together, they would be widows for half their lives.

If Aunt Cane and Uncle Jiu are together, they are both husband and wife and Taoist couple, with two attributes, while Michelle's only one attribute is husband and wife.

People are always nostalgic. When Uncle Jiu sees Michelle giving birth to a child, there is a high probability that he will be able to let go of this relationship. At that time, Gu Zhou thinks that he can make Uncle Jiu and Gu Gu a pair.

They can't be left alone for the rest of their lives.

"Hmph! Are you using my place as a nursery? All right, all right, you two, put down the baby, be gentle, don't break it!"

Aunt Cane kept a straight face, but the joy in her eyes was about to overflow.

She couldn't refuse any request from Uncle Jiu.

Gu Zhou greeted Gu Gu and chatted for a few words. The baby had been settled, and she watched Uncle Jiu leave reluctantly.

…………

The area near Shizhou City was already covered with dark clouds. The troops of Gu Zhou's two regiments were entrenched outside Shizhou City. The cannons were aimed at Shizhou, and they might fire at any time.

Although the two sides have temporarily ceased fighting, they still have to go through the barrier set up by Zhang Muzhi if they want to enter and exit.

"When you pass the checkpoint, do what they say, and don't conflict with them."

The front checkpoint is crowded with people, and there are dense crowds of people coming in and out. Facing hundreds of soldiers with live ammunition, no matter how bad-tempered people are, they have to be honest.

But there were people who didn't believe in evil, and yelled that his father was the famous Zhang Erhe in Shizhou. Pointing at him, he scared the crap out of him immediately, and begged for mercy on his knees.

Hearing Mi Nianying's reminder, the corners of Wen Caiqiusheng's mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

As a dog licking and joke goddess, that's a big taboo!

A group of people got out of the car and walked towards the checkpoint. The company commander was a disciple of the Gu family. He recognized Gu Zhou, put his feet together, and solemnly saluted a military salute: "The commander-in-chief is here! Salute!"

A company of soldiers who came out of the checkpoint looked over in unison, stepped on their feet suddenly, and their movements were uniform. The powerful voices of more than 100 people were deafening: "Commander!"

"Master?"

Mi Nianying was dumbfounded, followed the soldiers' gazes to lock on Gu Zhou, and said blankly, "You are their commander...why did you attack Shizhou?"

She never expected that the man beside her who had traveled all the way turned out to be the legendary Marshal Gu.

Gu Zhou smiled, not interested in explaining to Mi Nianying, and nodded slightly to the soldiers: "It's all hard work. Gu Min, take me to the barracks to find Zhang Muzhi."

He remembers clearly all the officers in a division under his command who are squad leader and above, and can match their names with their faces within a second.

Among other things, this ability is extremely lethal in buying people's hearts.

Most of the mid- and low-ranking officers were so excited after Gu Zhou called out their names.

It's still Zhang Zongchang, except for a lot of "cannons are fired and his mother is bombarded, and Veggie goes back to his hometown." ' Such verses are called 'The Poet General' to ridicule him.

In addition, he also has the labels of General Dog Meat, General Long Legs, and General Three Ignores.

What three things does Zhang Zongchang not know?

I don't know how many soldiers I have, how much money I have, or how many wives I have.

Zhang Zongchang's army expansion was disorderly, and the composition of the team was even more chaotic. There were regular troops, bandits, and even Russians 0......

As for the false reports and concealed reports of defectors, he never scrutinized the moisture in them, allowing the team to develop freely.

Therefore, he really didn't know how many soldiers and guns he had.

As for money, Zhang Zongchang's exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in various names for three years as governor of Lu almost failed to peel off the skins of the people of Shandong.

There is no bottom line in searching people's wealth, so he is also confused about how much money he has, and Zhang Zongchang himself can't report how many women he has.

His brigade commander saluted him, and he asked him what he was doing in a daze.

People replied 'I am your brigade commander'.

The brigade commander is already a senior officer, and Zhang Zongchang doesn't even recognize his senior officers, which is really a big joke.

"Master, please follow me."

Company commander Gu Min led the way.

Mi Nianying was very dissatisfied with Gu Zhou's ignorance, and asked Qiusheng softly after falling behind: "You guys already knew?"

Qiu Sheng shrugged: "We are all brothers, don't you know?"

Mi Nianying's face flushed suddenly, thinking that she had solemnly reminded her just now, now it seems that she is a clown.

Uncle Jiu explained: "Your brother-in-law Lou Dalong got a strange disease, and he knew that his army would not be able to resist for long, so he made a condition with Gu Zhou, if 5.2 can cure his strange disease, he will surrender unconditionally. Invite me to go with you, unfortunately, I bumped into you."

After walking around the barracks, Gu Zhou led a battalion of soldiers into the city.

This was a condition negotiated by the two parties. Zhang Muzhi insisted that in order to ensure Gu Zhou's safety, at least one battalion of soldiers should follow him into the city, otherwise there would be no need to talk.

Lou Dalong's bottom line was originally a company, and there were too many people in a battalion, and they were afraid of cooperating with others.

But Zhang Muzhi would not back down on this condition, Lou Dalong had no choice but to agree.

After all, the current situation is that they are in a weak position and do not have much capital to negotiate terms.

When entering the city, Gu Zhou carefully observed the soldiers under Lou Dalong's command. All of them were considered to be physically strong and energetic, and they were far stronger than the troops in other regions.
