Preparation before departure

I was surprised for a moment, and asked Zhang geqi a little incredulously, "is it really such a coincidence? You didn't see it with your own eyes that day."

Zhang geqi pointed at himself with his thumb and said confidently, "at least I'm an expert in this field. I can see the species of the flood dragon by smelling the smell and distinguishing the traces. Besides, I also tasted its blood smell. It's definitely the king of earth dragons. I can't be wrong."

I nodded, "I don't think this Earth Dragon King appeared here by chance. Since there was a five element restraint in the flood dragon, there was a rainstorm before, and the aquatic otter flood dragon slipped out for activities. The Earth Dragon King came to swallow the otter flood dragon."

I said to grandma again, "grandma, we went to have a look that day. The place where the Earth Dragon King lived was an underground building, which was very mysterious."

Grandma asked about the general location, thought about it and said, "that place should be an ancient tomb."

"Ancient tomb?" I was stunned.

"Where scenery is good, there must be ancient tombs, which is not surprising. Our village has a history of five hundred years. The oldest surname in the village - the ancestor of the Li family is a mountain keeper, which proves that the first generation of villagers guarded the tombs for others."

I see. In fact, many villages were built according to tombs. Because there were many rent-free and tax-free policies for guarding tombs in ancient times, refugees were willing to cultivate around tombs, and villages formed over time.

Grandma asked me to pull out a thread bound booklet from the bookshelf and turn a few pages to show it to me. "Judging from the history of Canzhu township, there is mostly a ancestor surnamed Li buried here, probably a dignitary figure of the Qing Dynasty."

I laughed, "Li Youtian got this disease. Now we are going to find an antidote in the tomb of Li's ancestor. Maybe it's really our god arrangement!"

Zhang geqi couldn't wait to say, "let's chop this evil animal that day, so we don't have to go in such a big circle. Let's go up the mountain tomorrow morning!"

After all, it is to treat people, I do not want to sewer capsize, or said: "I prepare in advance, sharpening the knife does not mistakenly cut wood workers."

"Damn, here go again! "

The next day, I got up early in the morning and began to prepare props. I took a medicine roller to grind medicine in the yard. The green sac spider kept picking up the broken dregs of medicinal materials below. It was a lot of fun to eat.

I'm going to make pills from the crushed powder and honey. During this period, I sent Zhang geqi to buy vegetables.

After he came back leisurely, he saw a table of large and small toys I had made, and said with surprise and disdain, "what are these? These mud eggs in the middle smell really bad. Why are they like rotten eggs? Is this going to stink earth king dragon to death?"

I grabbed what he called a "rotten egg" and threw it on the wall. It exploded with a bang. The flame flashed away, but it was very bright.

Zhang Geqi looked in a daze and couldn't close his mouth for a long time. I said, "This is the 'camp fire' recorded in" Heavenly creation", which is equivalent to the earthen flash bomb. It is too dangerous to use fire on the mountain, and the temperature is too low to ignite the surrounding trees.

Zhang geqi grabbed another bamboo tube and asked, "what about this?

I said, "this is the 'Golden Arrow' recorded in the ''Wu Jing Zongyao'', which is to blow an arrow. But I use a sulfur salt needle, which is equivalent to poison for flood dragon."

Zhang geqi quickly put it down, wiped his hands hard, and picked up a sugar bean like thing, "what is this?"

I continued to introduce to him: "the pomander recorded in the "collection of grievances" can resist the filth in the tomb."

Zhang geqi couldn't help but give me a thumbs up. "Dr. Lin, you're too awesome! How can you do anything? I doubt whether you're a doctor."

I smiled, "be prepared, no matter how much preparation."

Zhang Geqi probably felt that it was too much to deal with an earth king dragon and shook his head, but he didn't say anything more.

Then he held up the meat and vegetables he bought and asked me, "how do you do this? Why don't I cook for you today?"

I said, "those meat are not for us to eat. You can cut it into cubes and cook it. I took it up the mountain to sacrifice those wild ghosts. I didn't get a reward for asking others for help last time."

"Just find a rust knife and get paid? It's good to be a ghost." He went into the kitchen talking to himself.

I continued to prepare props and had no time to prepare lunch. My grandmother cooked pumpkin millet porridge. When I ate, I found a dish of black unidentified objects on the table and asked, "what is this dish?"

Zhang geqi smiled awkwardly, "fried... Fried eggs. I made them. They look a little bad, but they are definitely edible."

I turned over the pieces of coke with chopsticks and said with a smile, "this is not a 'little' problem. Don't show your sparse cooking skills next time!"

After a meal, I kept busy. In addition to various pills and potions, I also prepared spells. In addition, there are more important things to do - sacrifice to gods.

When I went back to the room to get something, I saw grandma sitting at the table with a basket on the table, full of millet. She held a long needle and drew on the rice to show Zhang geqi, like some kind of array. Zhang geqi was listening to the explanation carefully with his chin like a pupil.

I asked curiously, "grandma, what are you teaching him?"

Grandma replied, "Five Dragons defense array."

I've never heard of it. I asked, "Five Dragons defense array? What's that?"

Grandma slowly explained, "at the beginning, when the Buddha preached, the demon king Bo Xun tried his best to stop it. At this time, Five Dragon Kings appeared to guard the Buddha. Later, warlocks in the western regions developed a five dragon defense array based on this, which was quite effective in restraining visible evil."

I was amazed. Grandma really knew everything. I said with some worry, "however, this is a Buddhist thing, which doesn't match our belief."

Grandma said, "although it comes from Buddhism, it is a folk witchcraft and does not need religious blessing. Moreover, in the world, the mantra array can be used as long as it can be used for me. Witch doctors do not belong to any religion and do not have to stick to family status, just like medicine does not need to ask the source."

Before I could answer, Zhang geqi immediately praised, "grandma Lin is really a sage with great wisdom, and what she said is reasonable! People of our nation have always been like this, no matter which god Buddha you are, you can use it if it's useful, and get out if it's useless, and never take any immortal as the supreme 'Lord'!"

Grandma smiled, "that being said, you still have to be in awe. Young Zhang, did you write down the method of arranging the five dragon defense array?"

Zhang geqi stared at the basket of millet in a trance, and finally smiled sheepishly, "grandma Lin, can you say it again?"

I said, "grandma, you can teach me directly. Witch doctors also have similar means. I'm more handy in learning."

Grandma insisted, "you two learn together! Young Zhang is a flood dragon catcher. He is more useful in this formation."

Zhang geqi nodded seriously, "I will never forget what grandma Lin taught!"

Grandma was very happy, and there was a smile in her wrinkles.

After teaching the array, grandma took out three brocade bags from the drawer, handed them to me solemnly, clenched my hand, and said, "Miaomiao, this trip to the mountain for medicine may have an accident. If you encounter an insoluble dilemma, open one of the brocade bags. If you have no difficulty, you don't have to open it, remember."

I took the brocade bag. "Grandma, don't worry, we will come back safely."

Zhang geqi patted his chest and vowed, "it's just a bad flood dragon. Grandma Lin doesn't have to worry. I promise to protect Doctor Lin!"
