Wen Xin, please wake up!
I kept reminding myself, forced to calm down.
I will never forget the origin of his name.
When I think about the girl he misses every day, the blood in my body seems to have condensed, filled with sadness and loss...
That’s it!
I smiled to myself, picked up Jiang Lanyue's tablet in a carefree manner, and stood upright on the main throne.
I swallowed the bitterness in my mouth and stored everything in my heart: "Your handwriting is really good!"
Jiang Lanyue didn't reply, but I could feel a pair of extraordinarily deep eyes wandering over my cheeks, eye sockets, and the tip of my nose, and finally... landed on my red earlobes.
The look in his eyes was too intense, as if he wanted to see right through me.
I turned around guiltily, avoiding that strong gaze, and scrawled Yao Chunli's name.
Needless to say, when our two characters are placed together, one is like heaven and the other is like earth.
I embarrassedly set up Yao Chunli's memorial tablet: "Let's make do with it for now!"
Fortunately, Yao Chunli doesn't care very much.
I put down the brush and planned to pack it up and start the ceremony.
At this time, Jiang Lanyue spoke again: "There is one more person."
"Anyone else? Who?" I asked in surprise.
"The evil ghost on Yao Chunli's grave."
I almost forgot about this one.
In Yao Chunli's grave, there is also a dead man in his thirties.
The female ghost had been tortured for a long time and almost lost her mind. She didn't know why Jiang Lanyue wanted to take her in.
Jiang Lanyue did not give an explanation, only said that the evil ghost could recruit five soldiers and horses, and give her a place to stay first.
The so-called five rampant soldiers and horses, in our folk teachings, belong to the lower altar soldiers and horses.
This is a special team that specializes in catching ghosts and killing monsters. They are ruthless, brave and powerful. They will not be used easily, because this is the bottom line of every mage.
These soldiers and horses do not belong to the heavenly soldiers and generals who went to the altar, nor to the five elements and five colors team that went down to the altar. They are ghosts who died in a foreign land, died violently, and were unable to enter the reincarnation of the underworld.
The evil ghost who died violently was indeed in line with the recruitment requirements of the Five Rampant Soldiers.
But... we don’t even know anyone’s last name, how should we include it?
Jiang Lanyue said that she could call her Wumingshi first, and after she received the incense in the altar, she should be able to recall her lost memories over time.
Now that he has opened Chrysostom, I have no reason to refuse.
It would be better to recruit that unknown person into the Five Ramparts Army so as not to leave her to do evil in the world.
I asked: "What about Yao Chunli? What team is she included in?"
Jiang Lanyue was silent for a few seconds: "White flag or yellow flag, you decide for yourself."
The white flag is the personal guard accompanying you on the left and right.
The yellow flag is the immortal family guarding the altar.
These two are indeed very suitable for Yao Chunli.
I thought about it and finally decided to let her go to White Flag.
I can't use any of my grandma's soldiers now. The only two soldiers I have are Yao Chunli and Wumingshi.
Anonymous is crazy and in a state of indiscriminate attack, and cannot be used by me at all.
And I am in danger, so of course I hope to have a personal guard.
I quickly made up my mind, added the nameless tablet, and started reciting the mantra of soldiers and horses entering the altar.
"Green smoke curls through the three realms, and a decree follows me. I scatter rice and burn incense in front of my horse. The gates of the Thirty-sixth Camp are opened, and the drums shake the world. The general and marshal point to the future. They guard the altar to protect the law and save the good people. They dispel evil and ward off evil spirits to show their divine power... "
I used incense as a guide and rice as a matchmaker to introduce the two ghosts into the altar.
He also used the lyrics to let the soldiers and horses in the altar greet each other. The general Guixian ordered the troops and arranged for them to enter the camp.
As I chanted and sang, it seemed as if a towering mountain really appeared in front of my eyes. There was only one road leading to the mountain gate, and there was a huge tower on top.
At this moment, the city gate is wide open. Inside and outside, including the gate tower, are all mighty soldiers wearing five-color armor, and they are all densely packed with human heads.
The faces of these people could not be seen clearly, as if their faces were covered with a layer of frosted glass, and their skin color could only be vaguely seen to be the blue-gray color unique to the dead.
Above the tower, in the center, was an unusually tall man wearing silver armor, holding a black scimitar in one hand, standing calmly in the wind.
My intuition tells me that he is Jiang Lanyue.
Even if you don't do anything, just standing there quietly, you can feel a cold and threatening atmosphere.
I stared at him, trying very hard to see his face clearly. My eyes hurt, but I could only see a white mist.
I don’t know when I will be able to see his true face in Lushan...
As the spell ended, the towering mountains in front of me disappeared. My eyes were illuminated by candlelight and I returned to the real world.
I peeked into a corner of the altar and saw Jiang Lanyue's heroic figure. I was so excited that I began to look forward to my future life more and more, and to the day when I would officially take over the army in two years' time.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed unconsciously.
During this period, a lot of things happened in the store. My uncle was extremely busy and the store was closed for a week for rectification.
My sister-in-law is also very anxious and full of worries. Not only does she have to clean up the mess, she also has to be angry with her uncle.
Maybe because she was in a bad mood, her attitude towards me was not the same as before. She often looked at me with displeasure, and she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she took it all out on me.
"I asked you to do something, it's really a grind, I just know how to hold you back..." My sister-in-law asked me to help her carry the gift and go to the boss to give it to her.
But at this juncture, who dares to accept her gift?
Could it be that the longevity star hanged himself because he was dissatisfied with his long life?
I went to four or five houses with her in the morning. She had a good attitude and would find excuses to push her away, saying she was not at home or on a business trip.
Those with a bad attitude will not even open the door or answer the phone.
We encountered obstacles at every turn and were looked down upon by others.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, go back and wait, things will turn around." I was carrying big and small bags, but I couldn't walk anymore.
My sister-in-law glanced at me, raised her eyebrows and said, "Wait? If you wait any longer, this store won't need to open! Do you think if you put it at home, pie will fall from the sky? Just dream!"
I was ridiculed by her, and I felt a little emotional in my heart, so I said dissatisfiedly: "There is a hexagram in the Book of Changes, which says that when you encounter difficulties, you should be prepared for the dangers. It means that when a person is in a trough, no matter what he does, the risk is very high. It's better to stay still than to move around, just be quiet for the time being and wait for things to turn around."
"If it is difficult for us to move forward, then we should stay where we are and stop when we see danger. What if there is a trap ahead? If we walk randomly, won't we fall?"
My sister-in-law paused and seemed to think my words made sense, so she turned around and said, "Then go home?"
I hummed: "Instead of running around like a headless fly, it's better to go back and wait for the opportunity."
My uncle's shop will not close, but the scene will not be the same in the future. It can only be said that it can barely survive.
My sister-in-law might be really tired, or she might be frustrated because she hit a wall. She accepted my suggestion and took a taxi home.
As soon as I delivered my things to the door of the villa, the call came from Grandpa Blind.
