Copper Coins

On the carriage track in the suburb of Qingping County, a long horse team is advancing forward. It is really rare that this team is dressed. They are all wide robes with large sleeves, and the front and back are embroidered with a savage beast pattern. In addition, the entire robe is white with water, swayed by the wind brought by the running of the horseshoe, and the sleeves are like clouds. It also showed a beauty mixed with fierceness and cleanliness.

These people on horseback can't see their age by looking at their robes alone. They seem to be constrained by various manners all year round, and at first glance they are straightforward. As for the face ... they all wore a simple animal face mask, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.

The long horse team is about one hundred people, two rows in parallel, three carriages sandwiched between them, and the curtains are closed. A high flag is supported on both sides of the three carriages. There are six sides in front and back. The dark background is embroidered with complicated patterns. At first glance, it is not clear. You must illuminate it in the sun to see some silk outlines. In the middle of the black flag, two large dials Long Qu Python-too often.

In the previous dynasty, too often he held the rituals of ghosts and gods of the heavens and earth, fierce yin and yang, and set up Tai Chang Temple and Shao Qing to control a clerk. Since it was too often in the hands of the state teacher, these people's powers have been very limited, and Tai Chang Siqing has become the deputy of the state teacher. At the age of the Korean National Teacher, no one could tell, and the deputy next to him had changed several positions.

It is said that, in addition to picking up one or two buddhist children every few years, the teacher will also pick up a group of highly qualified boys and girls, who will be taught by Taichang Temple. As the executioner of the funeral, the largest can not exceed sixteen. When they passed sixteen, some of them would transfer to other positions in Taichang Temple.

Therefore, the entire Taichang Temple, especially in the last two terms, went up to Taichang Temple Qing and Shao Qing, to Taizhu and Taibu, all the way down to Xunzi, etc., almost all have deep roots with the National Teacher. It is no exaggeration to be half a disciple.

This pedestrian was divided into two lanes at the fork, and more than twenty of them took a carriage to the main city area of ​​the county. This was an order to drive out the epidemic. The other 120 or so people turned to another road around the mountain. In addition to a pair of copper coins with oil yellow leather on the waist of the two leaders, a jade card with spikes was also dropped.

The pattern carved on the jade card is different. The jade card on the left is carved with a black turtle, and a long feather bird stands on the back of the turtle. The two are surrounded by two small characters-Taibu. The person on the right has a long-horned animal face carved on it, and a small octagonal bell hangs on the animal face. There are also two small characters in the circle-too much.

Taibu and Taizhu belong to Taichang Temple, Taibu palm yin and yang, and Taizhu palm sacrificial ritual.

As soon as the horse team walked up the mountain road, the leader with the Taibuyu card raised his hand and motioned for a moment. The entire team never stopped, but stopped quietly.

Taizhu turned to look at him, with a hint of doubt in his gaze, "how?"

Although this man's tone is calm, but his tone is very young, he sounds like a man in his early twenties.

"I'll confirm the position again." Tai Bu said, the voice was feminine, just as young, and the tone was clean and gentle.

As she answered, she took off the rugged and simple animal-print mask on her face, exposing a clear and beautiful face that was completely different from the mask. Looking at the appearance alone, she should be younger than her voice reveals. Perhaps she is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Fortunately, she has beautiful double eyebrows and a pair of dark eyes like a lake, which weighed down her overly youthful temperament, revealing a sense of quietness and stability.

The position of taibu is slightly different from other things, because whether it is a divination or a dream interpretation, it is related to talents. Therefore, most of the people who can be taibu are specially qualified people, regardless of men, women and children. And because women are more sensitive in this regard, female officials have made up the majority in recent years.

I wished and nodded, agreeing: "Yeah, make sure you are foolproof, after all, it is closely related to natural disasters *. If you are wrong, you wo n’t be able to explain it back." He said, raising his finger upwards with regret. He pointed and said, "That man will not be happy."

Taibu glanced at him, then turned to look at the clouds in the sky carefully, and said, "Guo Shi always tells the truth, with clear rewards and punishments. He Lai is pleased and unhappy. Moreover, I ca n’t see it even when I go back, You think too much……"

"You girl, hey, I just said so casually, can you not be so serious?" Taizhu said temperlessly.

"No."

Taibu replied without changing his expression, touching the grass knot, the turtle shell, and a piece of paper with bamboo leaves. She unrolled the paper carefully, and the ink on it was so dry that she could see it was written a long time ago. The content is only a few figures, very streamlined, the deposit is a red seal on the party, printed only simple two words-the same lamp.

She confirmed the place mentioned on the paper and carefully folded it away. Then I arranged the knots and turtle shells I found out in the palm, and fiddled with the humanity at the same time. "Be careful, especially don't talk about the master in front of me. Maybe I will turn my face with you if I am not happy. Then. "

I wish I shook my head helplessly, and said: "You gave me a random button again, and I dared not arguing."

Although Taichang Temple has a close relationship with the National Teacher, it still has some differences.

It's like these two people who were side by side. They were brought back by the National Teacher more than ten years ago, and they were taught together in Taichang Temple, and they grew up slowly, from the sister-in-law to the regular business to where they are today. Similarly, the age is the same. Too much to respect the state teacher is more fear than respect, but Tai Bu respects more than fear ... far more.

Tai Bu focused his calculations and ignored him.

After a while, Tai Bu stared at the grass knot in his hand, glanced at the sky again, and snorted softly.

"Why? Don't you go in the wrong direction?" Taizhu asked, turning his face.

Tai Bu raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, hesitated for a long time, and muttered, "I counted ... but it shouldn't be."

"Don't you girl say something in a word, what's the matter?" I wish I followed her to look at the sky. Except for a cloud of gloomy clouds, no one can see it and stare again. The grass knot in her palm, except that the grass was sparsely furred, looked a bit old, and there was no other problem.

"It's nothing, it's just that a person who shouldn't be present is in Qingping County, but it's impossible ..." Tai Bu explained slowly, and then shook his head, "By the way, Ben just noticed that it was very similar. It should be me wrong. Regardless of this, the business matters, I have confirmed the direction, and go southwest along this mountain road. "

"Where to settle?"

Taibu glanced again and said, "Saw the mountain like a dustpan over there? Going there."

Tai Zhu raised his hand and rushed behind the horse team motioned, a horse belly, said: "Go."

At this time in the backyard of the Fang family, everyone was talking about something else--

The reason was that Jiang Shijing found that the three unconscious beggars had a fever, and one of them looked like a thin monkey was actually a little girl.

"It's a pity ..." Jiang Shijing raised his hand and gestured on the left cheek, and said, "The two old and one little rash are still stuck down the neck, but there is a large area on the left face of the little girl. This rash But it ’s not just broken skin and blood, it ’s rotten flesh. Those flesh that have been broken must be cleaned up, and even if heals later, the girl ’s face ... ”

Everyone has seen the scary look of the rash, and everyone has seen the injury level of the little beggar. Naturally, I can imagine how much scar the little beggar's face will leave in the future, and basically half of the face will be destroyed. After all, this child is still young. How old can be described as terrible, what can I do in the future?

The caring temperament was passed down from the ancestors of the Jiang family, and Jiang Shijing was worried about this little girl who was not a relative.

Xue Xian was rolling a chair past the bypass, and he stopped after listening to Jiang Shijing's words.

For him, when it comes to what he can and can't do, Pingyi is mostly in the mood. Chen Ye is a real craftsman. A table of hard vegetables in the morning made him very satisfied. Once a person has eaten and drank enough, he will feel a lot more comfortable. Even the cricket basket can be forgotten for a while, and even Xuan Mian walked out of the house and was walking towards this side, he didn't notice.

He always does not like to eat for nothing, but he digs gold beads in person and seems to treat others here as an inn. When he was pondering what to order, he heard Jiang Shijing's words, and suddenly he had an idea in his heart.

"That girl's face, I have some way." Xue Xianshun answered.

Jiang Shijing was all together, and looked at him: "What is it?"

He can make a paper body for a person like Jiang Shining, and naturally there is a way to make some articles on that little girl's face, but ...

"I can't make her some flesh out of thin air, so I have to get something to replace it." Xue Xian explained briefly.

Jiang Shijing wasn't stupid, and Jiang Shining, an experienced person, mentioned something, so he talked in a few words and said, "An alternative thing ... that can close the face ... hiss--is the mask feasible? "

Stone Zhang held the bowl and raised his hand beside it: "I will carve this! Baozhun will carve a rich one for her!"

piss off.

Xue Xian glanced at him angrily, "I can't stop your mouth from eating. Have you ever seen a rich flower on your face?"

Zhang Zhang silently chops rice.

"I'm talking about the kind that Yi Rong would use." Jiang Shining was also made to cry and laugh at Shi Zhang, and quickly explained, "Can fit the face, but the mask is a mask, after all, you have to rely on you ..."

Then he looked at Xue Xian.

Xue Xian nodded, "I mean almost this kind of thing."

"But ... who will?" Jiang Shijing asked a little awkwardly.

Stone Zhang quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth and said, "I will."

"Do you really? Are you not carving stones?" Xue Xian looked at him with suspicion.

"Some things are interoperable." Stone shook his hand. "I've seen people do it, and besides, I'm very skillful and can do it carefully."

It was very spicy to see a fat, slightly bald, fat man in such a quizzical tone that he described his ingenuity. However, the other people here did not have his dexterity, nor did they see Yi Rongshu in person, so this matter had to fall into his hands.

Zhang Zhang did not delay, and immediately explained the raw materials he needed, and went to wash his hands carefully.

In the meantime, no one else was idle. In the early morning, Lu Yan was alone in the corner of the yard. He touched the black cloth that was used to cover the eyes when the stones were tied. The other hand was holding the branches to paint on the ground After painting, I thought about it for a while, then erased it all again ...

Zhang Zhang's materials are not too much. Fortunately, Fang Chengjia said that the original materials are not lacking, especially those related to medicine. In addition to the most special blind, the rest is prepared early.

"What's worse?" Jiang Shijing asked.

Stone coughed, and hummed like a toothache: "X glue."

"What glue?" Xue Xian suddenly turned back.

The stone broke the jar and broke: "Dragon glue."

"..." Xue Xian wondered: "Why don't I know Dragon Dragon?"

"It's the glue made from dragon skin." Stone Zhang felt that after he said this, he would lose his life. He slapped his mouth silently and said in his heart: Let you take care of yourself and die.

Xue Xian's face went dark: "Fart! Whoever dares to use the dragon skin to boil the glue, I recognize it!"

"It's not, it's just that." Stone Zhang hurriedly explained, "You know, but if you have some strange things and don't know where it comes from, you like to have a particularly big name. Sticking it on Zhenlong is actually not at all. That kind of glue, which came from the merchants of the Western Regions, should be boiled with animal skin ... "

Xue Xian heard that the dragon skin and keel were going to be fried. Without saying a word, he said, "What glue does not come from? Boil the pig skin!"

"Okay." The ancestor said what it was, and Stone had no opinion at all.

Xue Xiangang spoke aggressively, and then turned to see Xuan Merce standing behind him. He glanced silently at Xuan Mian, turned his head and rolled his chair to run away.

Hyun Mercy: "..."

In fact, the glue made from pig skin is also good, that is, the heat time must be controlled accurately. It is not appropriate to be early or late.

The stone was waiting by the side of the pot, and it was estimated that it was almost there, it was necessary to fish, and it was held by a hand reaching out.

When he saw the white sleeves, he knew who his hands were, and immediately respectfully turned back and said, "Master."

Xuan Merci didn't say much, just glanced at the pot and said, "Boil for another moment."

Zhang Yizheng said, "Master, what kind of mask do you make?"
