Chapter 515 Xiao Qiao Wants to Become Stronger
The next morning, Shen Changgong untied Gongsun Wan'er and helped her get up.
After washing up, Shen Changgong and Gongsun Wan'er went out together. As soon as they walked out of the yard, they met Yan Fuyao who happened to be passing by.
Yan Fuyao turned her head and saw that Shen Changgong had actually come out of Gongsun Wan'er's room. She immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at Gongsun Wan'er with a playful and scrutinizing look.
Gongsun Wan'er chuckled, ran over quickly, pulled Yan Fuyao from the imperial carriage, and said with a smile,
"Your Majesty, why are you up so early?"
"It's still early, it's already bright. Before in Shengjing, I always went to the morning court before dawn.
But you are so clingy. It’s already this late and you haven’t gotten up yet. You are really a little goblin with a weak waist.”
"Hey, no way. It's all his fault. He tied me up and wouldn't let me get up. Let's beat him together."
At any time and in any place, Gongsun Wan'er never forgets to report Shen Changgong in front of Yan Fuyao.
"Tsk, let's go. I'm going to visit that little nun, and then I have to go take care of official business."
"Let's go together."
The group walked over and soon arrived at the room where Xiao Qiao was.
At this time, Yu Ziling was already here. She came to deliver the unpolished jade, and people from the palace also brought carving tools.
After Shen Changgong entered, he saw Xiao Qiao holding a brush and carefully drawing something on a piece of paper.
"Sister Xiao Qiao, you're up so early. Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Changgong greeted with a smile.
Xiao Qiao raised her pretty little face and said,
"You big bad Lanling King, I haven't had breakfast yet. Someone just brought me breakfast, but it has meat in it, and I don't like it. I want to eat vegetarian food.
The temple master said that Tao follows nature and we should respect all things in nature. All things have living beings and we should not kill them and we should not commit sins by killing.
So we are all vegetarians.”
"You are so eloquent, little girl. I forgot you are a Taoist priest. From now on, I will ask your servants to prepare vegetarian meals for you.
Why don’t you get some more sleep? You’ll be leaving in a few days, and you won’t be able to sleep any more even if you want to.”
"The abbot said that we should not seek comfort, but should practice diligently, have a regular sleep schedule, go to bed early and get up early, and recite scriptures. We cannot..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you keep talking for a while, I'll become a Taoist priest."
Shen Changgong walked up to her and asked,
"Is this the seal you drew for carving?"
"Yes, Xiao Qiao needs to draw it first. Once it's finalized, you can paint it. We only have this piece of jade, so we can't make any mistakes."
"You can also carve? Who taught you?"
"It's the temple master. Xiao Qiao started learning Taoist magic at the age of three. Many of the sculptures and talismans in the Taoist temple were carved by Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao is really amazing."
Xiao Qiao looked somewhat smug, blinking at Shen Changgong, as if expecting his praise.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, it's really amazing. Xiao Qiao is the best. How long did it take you to carve this piece of jade?"
"If it takes six hours a day to carve, then three or four days would be enough, but that won't work. Xiao Qiao not only has to carve, but also has to help you purify the sins of killing. I also have to use your breath to carve this jade, which will take 81 days.
Not a day more, not a day less, so you only need to carve for fifteen minutes every day.
By the way, pull out a few strands of your hair and tie them to these tools, so that you can connect the jade with yourself."
"it is good."
Shen Changgong had no idea that his hair and skin were given by his parents. He just picked up the scissors and started cutting.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiao quickly stopped him and said,
"No, no, you can't cut it. You have to pull it out. The hair you cut is rootless. The hair you pull out has roots and is related to you."
Seeing this, Shen Changgong's mouth twitched, and then he said,
"Every tool needs to be tied up?"
"Ah."
“How many tools do you have?”
"About a hundred or eighty pieces..."
Xiao Qiao turned her head away guiltily and said.
"Nun, monks don't tell lies. Tell me honestly how many cases you have."
"That's about a hundred or eighty pieces, but only twelve of them are usable."
In the end, Xiao Qiao didn't have the heart to pull out a hundred or eighty hairs from Shen Changgong.
"Pick them out, and I'll just pull out twelve for you."
Then, Shen Changgong untied his hair and asked Yan Fuyao to help him pull out his hair.
At this time, the person who delivered the meal arrived. Xiao Qiao immediately put down his pen, sat down and ate happily.
Shen Changgong endured the pain from his scalp and seriously suspected that the girl was pulling out his hair on purpose to avenge the blow to his head.
It made his head hurt too.
But seeing how well-behaved she was while eating quietly, I couldn't bear to punish her.
Well, I'll bully her another time.
Twelve hairs were pulled out, and the palace maid beside them carefully wrapped them around the twelve carving tools.
Shen Changgong gently rubbed his scalp, came to Xiao Qiao's side, looked at the runes and asked,
"Xiao Qiao, what do these runes mean?"
"You're attracting ghosts. Hundreds of ghosts will roam the night, and many ghosts will come to eat you at night."
Xiao Qiao threatened Shen Changgong in a serious manner.
She blinked her big eyes, hoping to see an expression of fear on Shen Changgong's face.
Too bad she was disappointed.
Shen Changgong didn't feel any fear at all.
"Tell me, what are these runes used for?"
Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes and said with a pout,
"I'm telling you, can you understand?"
"You're kidding! This prince is a man of great learning and talent. Is there anything I don't understand?"
"Okay, then listen carefully. The jade pendant is round, so first we need to determine the directions of the Eight Trigrams: Qian, Kun, Li, Kan, Zhen, Gen, Xun, and Dui.
After determining the direction, you also need to calculate the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, as well as your birth date. You also need to leave openings on the rune for purple air to come from the east and evil air to go to the west. This rune represents attracting evil spirits, drawing in the murderous sins in your body. This rune represents purple air, which is also righteous energy. Use it to flush out the evil spirit. This is the exit.
The runes in the middle, this one is for purification with the Kan character, this one is for suppression with the Gen character, this one is for exorcism with the Li character, and this one is for the Heavenly Official with the Qian character..."
"Alright, alright, Master Qiao, I know I was wrong. I'm ignorant and don't dare to bother you. Please do as you please."
Shen Changgong was completely confused and didn't understand anything.
Xiao Qiao looked at him proudly, his forehead almost reaching the sky.
Seeing this, Shen Changgong became playful and hit her on the back of the head again.
"Ow!"
Xiao Qiao roared angrily and rushed over to punch and kick Shen Changgong, but was suppressed by Shen Changgong with one hand.
"I'm furious!"
Shen Changgong won a great victory and left with a big laugh.
Yan Fuyao and others shook their heads and laughed. This guy only knew how to bully children.
Xiao Qiao looked at Yu Ziling angrily and suddenly said,
"Sister Zi Ling, you are a general, you must be very good at fighting, right?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Teach me martial arts."
"Why?"
"Xiao Qiao must become stronger, Xiao Qiao must defeat Lanling King!"
