At three o'clock in the morning, the two men returned to their residence carrying the pheasant, one covering his head and the other covering his buttocks.
"Your master cut my flesh and blood, and even used stinky socks to treat me. I thought you would be willing to use your new clothes." Chun Sheng muttered dissatisfiedly as he walked.
"You bought the clothes for me, and I can't bear to part with them. I'm sorry, Xiaoxia."
Xuan Mo followed Chun Sheng, limping like a wretch while holding his butt and apologizing again and again.
"I have never heard a word of apology in hundreds of thousands of years. I don't know which immortal I offended. I am so unlucky to meet your master and disciple. I hear your apology every day." Chunsheng said helplessly.
"A hundred thousand years?" Xuan Mo was a little confused.
Chun Sheng accidentally let it slip and quickly explained, "This is an exaggeration, an exaggeration."
"Oh... Xiaoxia, can this pheasant give my master a drumstick to eat? All he ate in the morning were bones..." Xuan Mo asked Chunsheng carefully.
Chunsheng became more and more helpless, "Okay! Here! Give your legs to your master, and stew me to your master. Your master really accumulated great virtues in his previous life."
"I can, but I can't stew you." Xuan Mo whispered.
Chunsheng let out a soft sigh, "Humph, your master is not that lucky either. I won't give him a single rabbit hair."
"Rabbit hair?" Xuan Mo was confused again.
Chun Sheng bit his own mouth, wondering why she had let it slip again, "Ah, yes, metaphorically speaking, if he wants to eat me, there is no way, I won't even give him a hair."
Xuan Mo has a pure mind and has no doubts, "I know that Master is annoying, but in fact Master was not like this at the beginning. He wants to make more money and build a big dojo, so that we can have a place to stay and don't have to travel around. But making money too difficult."
"Why should your master insist on a big temple? There are only two of you. Isn't a small temple okay?" Chun Sheng couldn't figure it out.
Xuan Mo nodded, "I think so too. There is no dojo in the mountains, but home is where your loved ones are. But Master doesn't think so."
Home is where family members are... Chunsheng thought of her home.
It had been three days since she had been down the mountain. She missed Jue Niang, Danxia, Ziying, and Brother Yuyin...
"I can go home in a few days." Chunsheng murmured.
"Is your home in this city?" Xuan Mo asked.
Chun Sheng knew that there was a barrier set up by the Jade Clan in Shaoyang Mountain, which was not the same world as the mortal world at all, but she couldn't tell Xuan Mo, so she casually said, "It's far away."
Xuan Mo was very disappointed.
Chunsheng was thinking about doing something to help Xuan Mo before she returned to the mountain.
"Do you know how to prescribe medicine?" Chun Sheng asked Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo nodded.
"Let's go to the pharmacy and get some medicine to completely cure your face and your master's cold."
Xuan Mo waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, my face will be fine when the weather gets warmer. Master is also much better. Master has cost you so much, but you take care of us so much. I am already very grateful."
Chunsheng chuckled, "Your book is really good. Besides, I won't give you medicine for free. How about you teach me some medical skills when you have time?"
Xuan Mo responded.
"I have a clan member who is very old. When he becomes confused, he always talks about one thing many times. How should we cure it?"
Chun Sheng asked Xuan Mo on behalf of Elder Pu. Elder Pu often told them the story of a bastard brother who was uneducated, disowned his relatives, ungrateful, and bullied his sister and the tribe. Every time he told them, she burst into tears. Although she was angry, she was also a little worried that Elder Pu was sick.
"Can you take him to check his pulse?" Xuan Mo asked.
Chunsheng shook his head, "It's not convenient."
"Oh...then tell me his complexion, symptoms, diet and daily life in detail."
Chun Sheng described Elder Pu's situation to Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo thought for a moment and prescribed the medicine, "Your tribe is too depressed. It's best to prick the acupuncture points with silver needles. I'll tell you the acupoints. Just go back and ask your doctor to treat him."
"We don't have a doctor there. Can you teach me how to prick acupuncture points with silver needles?" Chunsheng asked.
Xuan Mo was a little embarrassed, "Yes, yes...but Master's silver needle was exchanged for wine..."
"Why do you recognize such a prodigal master!"
Chun Sheng really wanted to drag Xuan Daotong over and kick him, but because of Xuan Mo's kindness, he was very helpless, "We'll go buy a new set later. You can hide it yourself. Don't tell your master, he's too unreliable." .”
"Um...Xiaoxia...can you tell me where your home is? Can I go find you in the future?"
Xuan Mo looked lonely. Chun Sheng didn't know how to answer Xuan Mo, but he didn't want to make up a random place to deceive him, so he said perfunctorily: "We will see you again in the future if we are destined."
Xuan Mo remained silent for a long time, his pure eyes full of disappointment.
On the way back, I passed by the inn where Chun Sheng lived and met the waiter at the inn.
"Brother, you are back. Your grandfather came to see you just now. I saw you going to the south of the city yesterday to deliver charcoal. I told him and he left you a letter."
Chunsheng didn't expect the clan leader to come back so soon, so she quickly took the letter, thinking that the clan leader was urging her to return to the mountain.
Unexpectedly, the clan leader asked her to stay in Langhuan City and told her not to return to Shaoyang Mountain, waiting for Shaoyang Mountain to send someone to pick her up.
The letter was concealed so that only she could understand that it was the patriarch's handwriting. But why did the patriarch come back so soon? Why not go to the south of the city to find her? What was the patriarch busy with?
Chun Sheng didn't understand, but he couldn't obey the clan leader's arrangement.
"Xiaoxia, what's wrong?" Xuan Mo saw that Chunsheng was lost in thought.
"Xuan Mo, I may have to stay here for a few more days..." Chun Sheng was dumbfounded.
"Great!" Xuan Mo jumped up happily.
"I can't go home, but you are so happy..." Chun Sheng felt dismayed.
"No, no, I'm actually very torn. I want you to go home, but I don't want you to go home... I haven't had a single friend since I was a child..." Xuan Mo said pitifully.
"Your master is like that. Anyone who dares to make friends with you may be harmed by your master one day." Chunsheng hit the nail on the head.
Xuan Mo sighed, he also knew the master's virtues.
The two returned to the courtyard of the merchant's guest house, and saw a large array of people in the courtyard, and the merchants gathered in a large circle and talked about it.
It turned out that Xuan Daotong had been carefully cared for by Xuan Mo all night, and after drinking Xuan Mo's blood, his cold was 80% to 90% better. I ate Chunsheng's black-bone chicken soup again and regained my strength. He felt as if he had been given a shot of blood, and he was ready to form an array to catch the monster. He summoned the wind, summoned the rain, and summoned the gods, and he started to mess around.
As soon as Xuan Mo entered the door, he was called by Xuan Daotong to help catch the monster.
Chunsheng also watched the excitement
After watching for a full hour, not even a single bird was caught, let alone monsters. Everyone felt bored and dispersed.
It was almost dark when the merchants finished their business and returned to the rented yard to eat the meal cooked by Chun Sheng. Then they came out to see that Xuan Daotong was still busy.
I saw him making strange noises a few times, shouting "Urgent like a law", took out the water bag for drinking water, moved it up, down, left and right for a while, then quickly covered it, put it in Xuan Mo's ear and shook it Shake.
Xuan Mo nodded excitedly.
Xuandaotong shouted with satisfaction, "It's done!"
The onlookers swarmed up to the merchants, and the leader with a beard asked Xuan Daotong if he had caught the demon.
Xuandaotong was confident and proud, "I caught it! Listen to me!"
Xuan Daotong handed the water bag to Beard, but Beard could not recognize it. Everyone listened one by one, but no one could hear the sound.
The bearded man grabbed the water bag angrily and pulled open the stopper.
"Hey! Stop!" Xuan Daotong tried to stop him.
There was nothing in the water bag.
"Bah! You old liar!" Xiandao hit Xuan Daotong on the head with a water bag.
Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
Chun Sheng, who was sitting on the threshold of the kitchen watching the excitement, chuckled.
It would be unfair to say that Xuan Daotong is a pure charlatan.
After a whole afternoon of tossing, he really managed to capture some of the essence of the flowers, plants and trees. Of course, those spirits are not demons, not even living beings, and cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Xuan Daotong may once have some ability to catch monsters, but his wisdom has long been blinded by worldly greed, and he can only catch the essence of these flowers and plants, and he doesn't know if he has caught it, but he actually wants six pure Xuan Mo to help him listen. It would be weird not to make a joke!
When Xuandaotong saw Chun Sheng laughing at him, he glared at Chun Sheng fiercely and stormed back to the woodshed.
Xuan Mo had no choice but to clean up the mess left by Xuan Daotong alone.
Chun Sheng couldn't stand it and ran over to help Xuan Mo clean up.
"What do those merchants want from your master? This place is quite clean. I haven't seen anything strange." Chun Sheng asked Xuan Mo curiously.
"They want Master to draw a talisman."
"Why draw talismans?"
"It's probably the Chinese New Year, so go out to ward off evil spirits and seek good luck. Businessmen attach great importance to this." Xuan Mo guessed based on experience.
"No wonder you have to prove your master's ability." Chunsheng suddenly realized.
"Actually, my master really caught a demon in the early years." Xuan Mo explained.
Chunsheng became interested, "Really? What kind of monster?"
"I was still young at that time, so I don't remember much. I just remember that he seemed to be a sick demon, and was later made into a pill by my master." Xuan Mo recalled.
"Sick monster? You even made a pill. Does your master want to poison himself or others?" Chunsheng simply couldn't understand Xuan Daotong's madness.
"Master has always been looked down upon by his colleagues. He really wants to prove that he is great." Xuan Mo's eyes showed deep worry.
"You'd better find a reliable master. Your master may be crazy about gains and losses." Chun Sheng advised Xuan Mo.
Xuan Mo sighed, "I showed it to Master and he's not crazy. It's probably because he worked too hard to make money, he was tortured a lot, and sometimes he acted in extreme ways."
"You're working hard too, but you're not like him." Chun Sheng felt that there was something wrong with Xuan Daotong's head.
Xuan Mo smiled happily, "I have no regrets."
"You're quite reasonable." Chunsheng was helpless.
I cooked a bowl of chicken noodle soup for Xuan Mo, and added a large chicken drumstick to Xuan Daotong's noodles at Xuan Mo's request. But she had already cast a spell to extract the essence from the big chicken drumstick and poured it into Xuan Mo's bowl. As for the remaining tasteless meat, which was no different from firewood, Xuan Daotong ate as much as he liked.
A quiet night.
The next day, Xuan Mo originally promised to teach Chunsheng acupuncture early in the morning, but he never left the woodshed.
Chun Sheng heated up the cooked food over and over again, and it wasn't until noon that Xuan Mo ran into the kitchen with a tired look on his face.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxia. I was too busy this morning and couldn't teach you." Xuan Mo apologized as soon as he entered the door.
Chun Sheng's ears pricked when he heard Xuan Mo say he was sorry, and he muttered: "You always say sorry, can't you be sorry? What is your master trying to do?"
"I got some fresh pheasant blood from a pheasant hunt yesterday. Master said it was a solstice that can ward off evil spirits, so he asked me to draw many talismans for him."
Chun Sheng grabbed Xuan Mo's hand and smelled it, "If you can't afford cinnabar and raw chicken blood, your master is really a thief. What a fishy stench..."
Xuan Mo rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said with a helpless smile, "Chicken blood is also acceptable. Master said that the New Year is coming and people want to wear this for good luck. It can be sold for a lot of money."
"Where is your master? Why didn't you see him coming out to cause trouble today?" Chun Sheng asked curiously.
Xuan Mo Shen lowered his voice mysteriously, "My master said he found a big demonic energy nearby and went out to catch demons with his talisman."
